"text": "130121121. Payment Dates121.1 When are your payment days if you filed for benefits before May 1, 1997? Social Security payments are usually dated and delivered on the third day of the month following the month for which the payment is due. For example, payments for January are delivered on February 3. If the third of the month is a Saturday, Sunday or Federal holiday, payments are dated and delivered on the first day preceding the third of the month which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday. For example, if the third is a Saturday or Sunday, payments are delivered on the preceding Friday.121.2 When are your payment days if you filed for benefits on or after May 1, 1997? If you file for Social Security benefits May 1, 1997, or later, you are assigned one of three new payment days based on the date of birth of the person on whose record your entitlement is established (the insured individual): The payment day for insured individuals born on the 1st through the 10th of the month is the second Wednesday of each month;The payment day for insured individuals born on the 11th through the 20th of the month is the third Wednesday of each month; and The payment day for insured individuals born after the 20th of the month is the fourth Wednesday of each month. If the scheduled Wednesday payment day is a Federal holiday, payment is made on the preceding day that is not a Federal holiday.121.3 When are you paid on the 3rd of the month, even if you file for benefits on or after May 1, 1997? You will receive your Social Security payment on the third of the month if you are any of the following: A beneficiary who also receives SSI payment;A beneficiary whose income is deemed to an SSI recipient;A beneficiary whose Medicare premiums are paid for by the state in which you live;A beneficiary living in a foreign country;A beneficiary entitled to payments on the third of the month, who later became entitled on another record, as long as there is no break in your entitlement;A recipient of garnished payments, tax levy case payments, or payments made via the critical payment system. A beneficiary entitled on the same record as one of the above.121.4 Can payment days be changed?"

"text": "THE BLOG 07/05/2015 06:42 pm ET Updated Dec 06, 2017When and How Social Security Checks Are Delivered By Jim T. Miller Dear Savvy Senior,I plan to apply for my Social Security benefits in September. When can I expect my first check? And, is direct deposit my only option for receiving my monthly payment?—Almost Eligible Dear Almost,Generally, Social Security retirement benefits (as well as disability and survivor benefits) are paid in the month after the month they are due. So, if you apply for your Social Security benefits in September, you will receive your September benefits in October. The day of the month you receive your benefit payment, however, will depend on either your birthdate, or the birthdate of the person whose work record you’re receiving benefits on. If you’re applying for benefits as a retired worker, your benefit payment day will be determined by your own birthdate. But if you’re applying for spousal or survivors benefits based on your spouse’s or (if you were married at least 10 years) ex-spouse’s work record, your benefit payment date will be determined by his or her birthdate. Here’s the schedule of when you can expect to receive your monthly check: Birthdate is 1st through 10th of month: Payment day is second Wednesday of each month. Birthdate is 11th through 20th of month: Payment day is third Wednesday of each month. Birthdate is after the 20th of the month: Payment day is fourth Wednesday of each month."

"text": "\"Understanding Payroll Tax Payment and Filing Requirements Employers are required to make federal payroll tax payments to the government, as well as filing the proper reporting and informational returns. Employers must also provide employees and contractors with W-2 and 1099 reports explaining the compensation paid and withholding amounts. There may be state requirements as well. The rules can be complex and penalties for noncompliance severe, which is why the administration of payroll tax responsibilities is often outsourced by small businesses. Properly handling payroll tax responsibilities involves making sure that:your federal and state taxes are paid and reported to the appropriate tax agenciesyou properly report income, amounts withheld, and amounts paid on behalf of employees and contractorsyou maintain the required federal and state records Accurate and timely compliance is the key to avoiding payroll tax penalties!Getting Started When you hire your first employee, you'll need to get a federal employer identification number from the IRS if you do not already have one for your business. You may also need to get state and local tax numbers as well. In addition to assigning an employer identification number (EIN) for use on all your correspondence, deposits, returns, and other documents, the tax agencies will usually supply you with information about your specific payroll tax obligations and may supply the forms you'll need to use when you deposit the taxes and file returns. For federal payroll tax purposes, you will have both reporting and depositing obligations. Although these relate to the same liability, the tax returns and tax deposits are generally done separately: Federal tax deposits must be made on a periodic basis. Federal tax returns must be filed on a quarterly or annual basis."

Engraving of the Four Freedoms at the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial in Washington, D. C. The Four Freedoms were goals articulated by United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt on Monday, January 6, 1941. In an address known as the Four Freedoms speech (technically the 1941 State of the Union address ), he proposed four fundamental freedoms that people \"\"everywhere in the world\"\" ought to enjoy: Freedom of speech Freedom of worship Freedom from want Freedom from fear Roosevelt delivered his speech 11 months before the surprise Japanese attack on U. S. forces in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii that caused the United States to declare war on Japan, December 8, 1941. The State of the Union speech before Congress was largely about the national security of the United States and the threat to other democracies from world war that was being waged across the continents in the eastern hemisphere. In the speech, he made a break with the tradition of United States non-interventionism that had long been held in the United States. He outlined the U. S. role in helping allies already engaged in warfare. In that context, he summarized the values of democracy behind the bipartisan consensus on international involvement that existed at the time. A famous quote from the speech prefaces those values: \"\"As men do not live by bread alone, they do not fight by armaments alone.\"\" In the second half of the speech, he lists the benefits of democracy, which include economic opportunity, employment, social security, and the promise of \"\"adequate health care\"\"."

"text": "\"November 25, 2013CFPB Releases Final RESPA-TILA Integrated Disclosures Ruleby the Mortgage Banking Group On November 20, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau released the nearly 1,900-page final RESPA-TILA Integrated Disclosures Rule. The rule will be effective for applications received on or after August 1, 2015. The industry had urged the CFPB to provide a reasonable implementation period in view of the significant changes to systems and procedures necessary to implement the rule, on top of the implementation challenges presented by the other CFPB mortgage rules. It appears the efforts were successful; much shorter implementation periods had been rumored. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act (Dodd-Frank) directs the CFPB to issue rules that combine certain disclosures that consumers receive in applying for and closing on a residential mortgage loan, including disclosures required under the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA). The new disclosures are generally referred to as the \"\"combined\"\" or \"\"integrated\"\" disclosures. The final rule mandates the use of two disclosures, the three-page Loan Estimate (which replaces the Good Faith Estimate (GFE) and the initial Truth in Lending Disclosure) and the five-page Closing Disclosure (which replaces the HUD-1 and final Truth in Lending Disclosure). In addition, the rule requires that the Closing Disclosure in most cases be received by the borrower at least three business days before closing. The rule also includes a number of substantive changes and additions to RESPA and TILA. The final rule applies to most closed-end consumer mortgages."

The Post Office Department was created in 1792 from Franklin's operation, elevated to a cabinet-level department in 1872, and transformed in 1971 into the U. S. Postal Service as an independent agency. The USPS as of February 2015 has 617,254 active employees and operated 211,264 vehicles in 2014.

The sociopath may abandon the baby and leave you to raise the child alone—this is actually the best scenario. The sociopath may use the child as a pawn in an ongoing battle to torment you. And the child may turn out to be a sociopath as well—this is by far the worst scenario. Every family situation is different. But if yours includes a sociopath, here are some things to keep in mind. Indifference to welfare In his book, Without Conscience, Dr. Robert Hare writes, “Indifference to the welfare of children—their own as well as those of the man or woman they happen to be living with at the time—is a common theme in our files of psychopaths.

That’s not many in absolute terms, but that means sociopathy is super prevalent and incredibly hard to spot. What’s more, sociopaths are expert manipulators. Couple this with the well-documented propensity for the average person to be manipulated into doing horrible things without even realizing what’s happening, and you’ve got real reasons to worry. Around the time I turned 40, I realized that I had wasted far too much of my life on psychopaths, sociopaths, and idiots. Even 10 minutes wasted is ten minutes too much. And psychopaths, sociopaths, and idiots are like a virus: You pick them up easily, they grow inside you, and they’re incredibly hard to get rid of.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Psychopathy, from psych (soul or mind) and pathy (suffering or disease), was coined by German psychiatrists in the 19th century and originally just meant what would today be called mental disorder, the study of which is still known as psychopathology. By the turn of the century 'psychopathic inferiority' referred to the type of mental disorder that might now be termed personality disorder, along with a wide variety of other conditions now otherwise classified. Through the early 20th century this and other terms such as 'constitutional (inborn) psychopaths' or 'psychopathic personalities', were used very broadly to cover anyone who violated legal or moral expectations or was considered inherently socially undesirable in some way. The term sociopathy was popularized from 1929/30 by an American psychologist, originally intended as an alternative term to indicate that the defining feature was a pervasive failure to adhere to societal norms in a way that could harm others. The term psychopathy also gradually narrowed to the latter sense, based on interpretations of the work of a Scottish psychiatrist and especially checklists popularized by an American psychiatrist and later a Canadian psychologist. Psychopathy became defined in these quarters as a constellation of personality traits allegedly associated with immorality, criminality, or in some cases socioeconomic success. Official psychiatric diagnostic manuals adopted a mixture of approaches, eventually going by the term antisocial or dissocial personality disorder. In the meantime concepts of psychopaths/sociopaths had become notorious among the general public and as characters in fiction.

Psychologist Martha Stout – who – clinical instructor in psychiatry at Harvard Medical School for 25 years – estimates in her book The Sociopath Next Door that as many as 4% of the population are conscienceless sociopaths who have no empathy or affectionate feelings for humans or animals.4% might not sound like much. But – using the U. S. as an example, that means that 12 million Americans are sociopaths. Because sociopaths are ruthless and will squash their rivals and burn institutions to the ground in order to reach their goals – but great at pretending that they care about people – they are incredibly destructive. Sociopaths would have been discovered very quickly in a small group. But in huge societies like our’s, they can rise to positions of power and influence. Unless we learn to spot “wolves in sheep’s clothing”, we will continue to fall prey to their scams.

Sometimes sociopath is chosen because someone is making a statement about the origins of the disorder: \"\"sociopath\"\" suggest that it was caused by social factors and is preferred by some clinicians, and most criminologists and sociologists.

Posted Jan 30, 2013SHARETWEETEMAILMOREFirst, a bit of terminological history to clear up any confusion about the meanings of “sociopath,” “psychopath,” and related terms. In the early 1800s, doctors who worked with mental patients began to notice that some of their patients who appeared outwardly normal had what they termed a “moral depravity” or “moral insanity,” in that they seemed to possess no sense of ethics or of the rights of other people. The term “psychopath” was first applied to these people around 1900. The term was changed to “sociopath” in the 1930s to emphasize the damage they do to society. Currently researchers have returned to using the term “psychopath.” Some of them use that term to refer to a more serious disorder, linked to genetic traits, which produces more dangerous individuals, while continuing to use “sociopath” to refer to less dangerous people who are seen more as products of their environment, including their upbringing. Other researchers make a distinction between “primary psychopaths,” who are thought to be genetically caused, and “secondary psychopaths,” seen more as a product of their environments. The current approach to defining sociopathy and the related concepts is to use a list of criteria."

By Paul Rosenberg / Salon March 8, 2014, 2:56 PM GMTPrint217 COMMENTSPhoto Credit: Shutterstock.com/Syda Productions“The sociological imagination Mills calls for is a sociological vision, a way of looking at the world that can see links between the apparently private problems of the individual and important social issues.” – Oxford University Press“I always said that if I wasn’t studying psychopaths in prison, I’d do it at the stock exchange.” – Robert Hare, creator of the Hare Psychopathy Checklist and its variants, the most widely used diagnostic tools for psychopathic personalities. In 1998 the International Sociological Association listed radical sociologist C. Wright Mills’ book “The Sociological Imagination” as the second most important sociological book of the 20th century. As is only natural with such an influential work, there are differing interpretations of what’s meant by sociological imagination, but all involve some relationship between individuals and society. Lately, however, we’ve been exposed to a completely opposite sort of imagination, one that sees only individuals in isolation, and seems incapable of grasping even the most basic of social facts connecting them with each other. Call it “the sociopathic imagination,” because sociopaths are defined by their lack of empathy, conscience or any form of intuitive social awareness. We’ve seen this most strikingly in a recent wave of attention to some bizarre thinking of the 1 percent. It was sparked by billionaire investor Tom Perkins, with his letter to the editor of The Wall Street Journal, in which he compared public criticism of the “one percent” to Nazi attacks on the Jews, and suggested we were on the road to another Kristallnacht, which was reinforced by the remarks of others, such as billionaire real estate investor Sam Zell, who supported him."

( See: http://www.sott.net/article/268449-Empathic-people-are-natural-targets-for-sociopaths-protect-yourself)According to the article, “Empaths are ordinary people who are highly perceptive and insightful and belong to the 40% of human beings who sense when something’s not right, who respond to their gut instinct. In The Emperor’s New Clothes, the empath is the boy who mentions the unmentionable: that there are no clothes. ”Sociopaths, according to Wikipedia, are people who exhibit “antisocial behavior, a diminished capacity for empathy or remorse, and poor behavioral controls or fearless dominance. ”Apaths “collude in the sport of the sociopath apathetic, or apaths.

People suffering from antisocial personality disorder are often referred to as sociopaths. Some of the other characteristics that sociopaths may display are stealing, lying, lack of remorse for others and towards living beings, irresponsible behavior, impulsive behavior, drug or alcohol abuse, problems with the law, violating rights of others, aggressive behavior and much more. Sociopaths are often unable to control their behavior and their expressions of annoyance, irritability and threats when faced with situations not appealing to them and they often tend to resort to threats, aggression and verbal abuse. Though no person is born with this disorder, the sociopathic personality disorder does involve a history of persistent anti social behavior during childhood before the age of 15 and if left untreated, this disorder continues into adulthood too. Sociopaths could also have been influenced by various environmental factors around the age of 15 that is also one of the main reasons for this disorder in individuals. Some of the environmental factors can include deprivation, sexual abuse, abandonment, emotional abuse, association with people who are antisocial, physical abuse and others. Though there are no distinct biological causes that have been identified as the main cause for this disorder, research suggest that for people suffering from sociopathic personality disorder, the part of the brain that is mainly responsible for an individual’s learning from his or her own mistakes and responding to fearful and sad facial expressions tends to be smaller than in a normal individual."

"text": "Tips for Dealing With a Passive Aggressive Personality at Work June 30, 2014If you’re being driven nuts by someone at work who sulks, procrastinates and writes you snarky emails, it could be that you’re dealing with a passive-aggressive personality type. The only thing that makes it worse is if that person is your boss. It’s time to learn to handle such behavior and not lose your cool. Have you ever worked with someone who agrees to help you with a report, but never comes through? When asked about it, the person has several different excuses. But you get the feeling the person really doesn’t want to help you and would even like to see you to get in trouble with the boss for a late report. Welcome to the passive-aggressive workplace. While the causes behind passive aggressive behavior can be complex, the reality is that if you work with such a colleague it can be difficult and stressful – and even worse if the passive aggressive person is your boss. Signe Whitson, a licensed social worker and author of “ The Angry Smile ,” says that passive aggression is defined as “as a deliberate and masked way of expressing covert feelings of anger and can involve behaviors that are designed to get back at another person without the other recognizing the underlying anger. ”But the passive-aggressive person also believes life will “only get worse if other people know of his anger, so he expresses anger indirectly,” she says."

( Image via James Fallon)By Joseph Strombergsmithsonian.com November 22, 20131K 4 7 3 1.7KOne afternoon in October 2005, neuroscientist James Fallon was looking at brain scans of serial killers. As part of a research project at UC Irvine, he was sifting through thousands of PET scans to find anatomical patterns in the brain that correlated with psychopathic tendencies in the real world. “I was looking at many scans, scans of murderers mixed in with schizophrenics, depressives and other, normal brains,” he says. “ Out of serendipity, I was also doing a study on Alzheimer’s and as part of that, had brain scans from me and everyone in my family right on my desk. ”James Fallon’s new book, The Psychopath Inside“I got to the bottom of the stack, and saw this scan that was obviously pathological,” he says, noting that it showed low activity in certain areas of the frontal and temporal lobes linked to empathy, morality and self-control. Knowing that it belonged to a member of his family, Fallon checked his lab’s PET machine for an error (it was working perfectly fine) and then decided he simply had to break the blinding that prevented him from knowing whose brain was pictured. When he looked up the code, he was greeted by an unsettling revelation: the psychopathic brain pictured in the scan was his own. Many of us would hide this discovery and never tell a soul, out of fear or embarrassment of being labeled a psychopath. Perhaps because boldness and disinhibition are noted psychopathic tendencies, Fallon has gone all in towards the opposite direction, telling the world about his finding in a TED Talk, an NPR interview and now a new book published last month, The Psychopath Inside ."

The sociopath is now described as someone with antisocial personality disorder. The main characteristic of a sociopath is a disregard for the rights of others. Sociopaths are also unable to conform to what society defines as a normal personality. Antisocial tendencies are a big part of the sociopath’s personality. This pattern usually comes into evidence around the age of 15. If it is not treated, it can develop into adulthood. Visible symptoms include physical aggression and the inability to hold down a steady job. The sociopath also finds it hard to sustain relationships and shows a lack of regret in his or her actions."

Passive-aggressive individuals mask their malicious intentions by lying to prevent being blamed for a misfortune incurred by another. Their duplicitous behavior also allows them to avoid confrontation and accountability for their actions.

Each time we investigate a sociopath, we find that they always have a little cult group following of spellbound worshippers who consider that particular sociopath to be a \"\"guru\"\" or \"\"prophet.\"\" Sociopaths are masters at influence and deception. Very little of what they say actually checks out in terms of facts or reality, but they're extremely skillful at making the things they say sound believable, even if they're just making them up out of thin air. Here, I'm going to present quotes and videos of some legendary sociopaths who convinced everyday people to participate in mass suicides. And then I'm going to demonstrate how and why similar sociopaths are operating right now... today. Why cover this subject? I've seen a lot of people get hoodwinked, scammed or even harmed by sociopaths, and it bewilders me that people are so easily sucked into their destructive influence. I want to share with Natural News readers the warning signs of sociopaths so that you can spot them, avoid them, and save yourself the trouble of being unduly influenced by them. Much of this information is derived from the fascinating book, The Sociopath Next Door, which says that 4% of the population are sociopaths."

The words “narcissist” and “sociopath” are bandied about by pundits, on Facebook, and at the dinner table – sometimes (and incorrectly) interchangeably. We weigh in on the mental health of public figures. We think of \"\"Little Finger,\"\" or at the extreme, Ramsay Bolton on Game of Thrones, and we assume we know what the labels \"\"narcissist\"\" and \"\"sociopath\"\" mean and that we could easily spot such characters in real life. There is certainly some overlap between these two personality disorders, which is why they are both part of the “Cluster B” group in the DSM (comprised of narcissistic, histrionic, antisocial, and borderline personality disorders). Sociopathy is captured by the diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder. Despite both being part of this “dramatic erratic”, cluster, however, the two disorders are not interchangeable. Nor are they always so easy to identify in the day-to-day.

In most cases, it is a description blithely tossed out to label someone as being either hateful or hate-worthy. The same applies to the term \"\"psychopath\"\" which to many suggests a sociopath who is simply more dangerous. Both are not only inaccurate descriptions but troublesome ones. From a clinical perspective, people who are sociopathic or psychopathic are those who exhibit the characteristics of Antisocial Personality Disorder (APD) typified by the pervasive disregard of the rights and/or feelings of others. Understanding Antisocial Personality Disorder While psychopaths are classified as people with no conscience, sociopaths do have a limited, albeit weak, ability to feel empathy and remorse. While psychopaths can and do follow social conventions when it suits their needs, sociopaths are more likely to fly off the handle and react violently whenever confronted by the consequences of their actions. The causes for these behaviors also have different roots. There has been some suggestion among experts that psychopathy is related, at least in part, to a genetic disorder. Sociopathy, on the other hand, is more likely the result of an extremely negative experience."

Well yes they do, however conditions must be right for a solar pool cover to be effective. Solar pool covers, also called solar blankets, absorb sunlight and thus transfer the heat to the pool water. Solar blankets are tinted blue with air pockets that are designed for maximum absorption of sunlight. If you get at least five hours of sunlight on your pool per day, you will receive a benefit from your solar pool cover. In fact, your water will heat as much as 1° per day! Another reason solar blankets are so effective is that they also help to trap heat in the pool water at night when it is cool. And not only does it trap heat but it also will aid in keeping your pool chemicals from evaporating out. If you are using a pool heater, you can expect to cut your bill in half with a solar pool cover."

No matter the season, there is always going to be some type of material that can potentially fly into your pool.“ Seminole Saturday Spring Swim ” ( CC BY 2.0 ) by Michel Curi How much does a pool screen enclosure cost?"

"text": "\"I have been in the pool industry for a long time and one of the most common complaints I hear from pool owners is \"\"we love our pool but wish the water was warmer\"\". You can solve that problem of cold water by heating your pool!The main benefit of a warm pool are that you can swim more often. By heating your pool you will extend your swimming pool season by opening the pool earlier and closing the pool later. I live in Massachusetts and swim from May to October - without a pool heater this would never be a possibility. With a heated pool you can finally not have an excuse to get more exercise in your pool!There are 3 WAYS TO HEAT your aboveground or inground swimming pool. Solar heating Panels - In typical installations, solar heating panels are mounted on a roof or a rack, in a location where you get the most sunlight during the course of the day. Ideally, the roof or rack would face south, with 5-6 hours of full sun per day. Solar pool heating can still be used if you do not have an ideal sun exposure, by increasing the square footage of the solar heating panels for greater temperature rise in the water. Solar pool heaters are extremely low maintenance, and work very well in all parts of these United States. Electric Heat pumps - The way a heat pump works is similar to a central air conditioning unit but it works in reverse."

"text": "How much does it cost to install a swimming pool heater? Even if you live in a warm place, you’ll likely want a swimming pool heater so you can enjoy your pool in all sorts of weather. There are a variety of swimming pool heaters available, and each kind works differently depending on the size of pool and the climate. When choosing what type of pool heater to purchase, you should consider the amount of energy it will take to run, the type of pool where the heater will be used, and its location, these factors are addressed in the table below. For this example, we’ll look at the cost of a heater for a standard 32’x16’ in-ground pool, which averages $1,800-$2,400. Cost breakdown There are many types of swimming pool heaters, but not every heater is a great fit for every situation: Type of Heater Pros Cons Best Use Cost Electric Resistance Inexpensive to purchase No air pollution Expensive to install and operate (increases installation fees by up to 40%)Use lots of electricity Small pools or spas Pentair $1,400-$1,800Gas Inexpensive to purchase Heat water quickly Thermostat-controlled, which allows users to set the temperature and forget it Expensive to operate Not energy efficient Short lifespan (5 years)Pools in most climates Pentair $1,500-$1,700Heat Pump 1Inexpensive to operate Energy efficient Increasingly popular Long life span (10-20 years)Expensive to purchase Slow to heat water Pools in temperate climates Summit $3,300-$4,000Solar No monthly operating costs Eco-friendly Energy efficient Long life span (15-20 years)Expensive to purchase Slow to heat water Dependent on sunlight Above-ground pools in sunny climates GAME $300-$450Electric resistance heaters work when electric currents travel through the resistor to heat the water. These heaters don’t release air pollution, but they do use a lot of electricity, which can lead to high energy bills, especially when used to heat a large pool. Gas heaters use either propane 2 or natural gas in a combustion chamber, which is transferred to the water when the water moves through a filter. These heaters heat the water fairly quickly and can heat to a set temperature in any climate or conditions. A heat pump 1 transfers heat from water (geothermal pump) or air (air pump) via electricity."

Invented when the bubble wrap people -Sealed Air, came up with another consumer use for their air cell technology. It began as a home experiment, when one of the engineers took home some heavy duty bubble wrap and put it on his pool; he noticed that it got warmer!Solar Pool Blankets allow the sun's rays to heat the water and reduce the evaporative loss of heat, water and treatment chemicals. Depending on the length and strength of your daily dose of sun, solar covers can raise the water temperature 10 degrees or more, and retain the heat put in during the day, throughout the night. Here's some common questions on solar blanket, from our Pool Talkhelp forum. Q: How do I buy a solar blanket for a free form shape pool? A: Buy the smallest rectangle that will cover the longest length and the widest width. Trim it to fit. Q: How do I install a solar blanket on a free form shape pool? A: After you have unboxed it, stretch it tight over the pool, and allow the packing wrinkles to relax."

They're cost competitive with both gas and heat pump pool heaters, and they have very low annual operating costs. Actually, solar pool heating is the most cost-effective use of solar energy in many climates. How They Work Most solar pool heating systems include the following: A solar collector -- the device through which pool water is circulated to be heated by the sun A filter -- removes debris before water is pumped through the collector A pump -- circulates water through the filter and collector and back to the pool A flow control valve -- automatic or manual device that diverts pool water through the solar collector. Pool water is pumped through the filter and then through the solar collector (s), where it is heated before it is returned to the pool. In hot climates, the collector (s) can also be used to cool the pool during peak summer months by circulating the water through the collector (s) at night. Some systems include sensors and an automatic or manual valve to divert water through the collector (s) when the collector temperature is sufficiently greater than the pool temperature. When the collector temperature is similar to the pool temperature, filtered water simply bypasses the collector (s) and is returned to the pool. Solar pool collectors are made out of different materials."

"text": "Related Articles Solar Pool Heating FAQThe Average Monthly Cost to Run a Swimming Pool Cost Comparison for Running an Electric Vs. a Gas Pool Heater How to Change a Chlorine Pool to a Salt or Mineral Pool Although outdoor pools can rely mostly or entirely on the sun for heating, indoor pools require an actual heating system in order to be used year-round as intended. Just like energy in the rest of your home, there are several ways to heat an indoor pool economically, all of which are good for both your finances and the planet. Be Reasonable with Temperature Settings Just as you’re advised to keep the thermostat in your home at a reasonable temperature, the same thing goes for the temperature of your pool. The National Swimming Pool Foundation recommends 78 degrees F for lap swimmers and 82 degrees F for recreational use. For each degree that you turn the temperature up, you're potentially increasing your operational cost by 10%. To save even more money, turn the temperature down to 60 degrees F, or off completely if you don’t plan to use the pool for three or more days, and then turn it back up to 78 degrees a few hours before using it. This prevents the heater from working when it doesn’t have to, and contrary to popular belief, it actually requires less energy to reheat a pool than it does to maintain the heat when not in use. Heat the Air to Maintain Water Temperature Experts recommend that you keep your indoor pool room heated to two to four degrees warmer than you keep the water temperature. Water evaporates at a faster rate when the air around it is cooler, which means that the water you spend a good amount heating leaves the pool faster if the air in the room is colder."

Retaining heat; preventing heat loss - is the most important one. A solar blanket will also help raise the water temperature a certain amount, but if you are expecting a solar blanket to heat your pool to 90 degrees in March or September, you will be disappointed. With daily sun, you can however expect a modest temperature increase of 5-10 degrees with a solar blanket. The following are tips and ideas that will prolong the life of your solar blanket and make the most of your solar blanket purchase. How Solar Blankets Work Solar blankets have a two-fold purpose, to retain the heat in the pool by preventing evaporation and heat loss through the pool’s surface, which is accelerated by a light wind. The second purpose is to absorb the heat rays of the sun. Any flat material laid over a pool will absorb heat, but may not transfer it effectively to the water. Solar blanket design uses air pockets, or bubbles, that reflect the sun’s rays into the water, while the heat warms the air in the bubble, transferring it to the water more effectively. Buying a New Solar Blanket When you measure your pool for a new inground solar pool cover, measure the longest and widest points of the pool."

You will have to dig a very large hole to place the pool and this can only be done by a swimming pool professional. On average, the cost of installing a new inground swimming pool runs between $14,961 and $21,649. Choosing a pool installed at the ground level won't require excavation (save $$$).

The water from the pool or spa, not both at the same time, enters the equipment system through a main drain on the floor, through a surface skimmer, or through a combination of both main drain and skimmer. It travels to a three-port valve (if there is no spa, there will be no such valve) and into the pump, which is driven by the attached motor. From the pump, the water travels through a filter, then to the heater, and back through three-port valves to the pool or spa return lines. Skimmers The purpose of the skimmer, as the name implies, is to pull water into the system from the surface with a skimming action, pulling in leaves, oil, and dirt before they can sink to the bottom of the pool, there by providing a conveniently located suction line for vacuuming the pool. Most skimmers today are molded, one-piece plastic units. Older pools have built-in-place concrete skimmers. Some pools have more than one skimmer. Most skimmers are built into the deck, and are accessed through a cover on top (the cover will be plastic or concrete) or by reaching into the skimmer through the opening that faces the pool itself. Some, as with portable or above ground pools, are separate units that hang on the edge of the pool (in the water or outside of it)."

D., names chia seeds as one of the world’s most fiber-rich foods. Although relatively unknown in Europe, these seeds are a traditional food in Mexico and the southern regions of the United States. Often regarded as a \"\"superfood,\"\" chia seeds provide several health benefits due in part to their fiber content. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key History Chia has a Native American history as a nutritious flavoring for soups and beverages, Phyllis Balch, a certified nutritional specialist, writes in \"\"Prescription for Dietary Wellness.\"\" Aztec warriors also consumed these carbohydrate-rich, high-protein seeds to boost their energy, Balch notes. There are two chia varieties -- one native to California and the other to Mexico. Fiber Content As one of the richest sources of soluble fiber, chia is an ideal supplement if you suffer from diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol, Dr. Nicholas Perricone writes in “Forever Young.” The dietary fiber content is approximately 56.5 g per 100 grams of seeds -- 14.1 grams being soluble. Unlike dietary fiber from cereal grains, the soluble fiber content of chia seeds takes more time to travel through the intestinal tract, which helps add bulk to the stool and provides a slower rate of glucose absorption, Dr. Perricone notes."

I use these descriptors in the best sense possible, mind you; debate is healthy and necessary, even – nay, especially – if it’s impassioned. So right off the bat, I want to thank everyone who wrote in. I also want to thank Konstantin, whose views on fiber forced me to reconsider my own way back when I first encountered him over five years ago. Without his input last week, we wouldn’t be having this discussion, and many people would still be sitting on whatever side of the fiber fence they prefer, never even considering that another side exists. I know I might still be catching up if I’d never read his book all those years. Many of you asked whether I endorsed the views espoused in the guest post.

Nibbling on hot dogs, full-fat cheese, or donuts can boost unhealthy, artery-damaging LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol. Grilling and dining on salmon, on the other hand, can raise the “good” or HDL (high-density lipoprotein) levels. These eight options are prime food warriors in the battle against bad cholesterol. Eaten alone, most of these eight foods will have a modest impact; but when eaten together, like in this Waldorf Salad, they build into a beneficial cholesterol-lowering plan that rivals medication.

Fogoros, MDUpdated May 16, 2017Share Pin Email Print Carbohydrates (carbs) are essential to our nutrition, primary energy source, and vital for good health. When we eat carbohydrates, our body converts it into glycogen (sugar) supplying the energy we require for proper body function. The problem is many good carbs have been labeled bad and many fad diets recommend they be eliminated to lose weight, reduce fat, and improve lean mass. This potentially sets us up for nutrient deficiencies, reduced energy, and can impair exercise performance. Leaving out this important macronutrient from daily food intake is not the answer to losing weight or achieving a lean body. According to research, we may experience side effects as your body tries to make up for the sudden lack of fuel. Side effects of carb restriction can include dizziness, fatigue, nausea, weakness, and depression along with more serious health risks. In order to maintain good health and achieve our fitness goals, understanding the difference between good vs. bad carbs will be important. Once we know how to select the right carbohydrates, we will feel comfortable including them to support a healthy lifestyle. What's the Difference?"

Food sources high in fiber include split peas, lentils, black beans, lima beans, artichokes, and raspberries. The U. S. Department of Agriculture recommends adults consume between 25 grams (women) and 30 grams (men) a day from food, but the average intake by adults in the United States is only about half of that. Fiber supplements are available in many forms and allow people to increase the amount of fiber in their diets if they aren’t eating or getting enough from food. Short-term relief from constipation and bowel irregularity are common reasons people use fiber supplements. Dietary fiber supplements are also used in weight management because it helps people feel fuller longer, which is important in weight management. According to Mayo Clinic, while there is no evidence that fiber supplements are harmful, it’s better to get fiber from natural sources because you also get the vitamins and minerals that the foods provide. Whether you increase your fiber intake using a supplement or by eating a higher fiber diet, be sure to increase your fluid intake as you increase your fiber. Fluid is required to help push fiber through the digestive tract, and too little water with more fiber could worsen constipation."

Here’s How Americans just do not get enough fiber each day, and this isn’t surprising, since fiber is the indigestible portion of plant foods, and the standard American diet is largely refined, with the healthful fibers often processed out. Unless you regularly eat whole fruits and vegetables, nuts, and seeds, you are probably missing out on the healthiest forms of fiber available – and that is a problem. Individuals with high intakes of dietary fiber appear to be at significantly lower risk for developing coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and certain gastrointestinal diseases. There are two forms of fiber: soluble and insoluble, that are found naturally in the fruits, vegetables, and whole grains we eat. When the fiber in these foods pass through our digestive system, it remains either undigested or gets digested. Both types of fiber are equally important for health, digestion, and preventing conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and various types of cancers. Benefits Of Fiber There’s no shortage of research showing how fiber may boost your health. Some of its top potential benefits include: Blood Sugar Control: Soluble fiber helps slow the body’s breakdown of carbs and the absorption of sugar, aiding blood sugar control.

Aneurysms are caused from a weakened spot on an artery that can no longer maintain integrity, and the pressure of the blood pulsating through the artery causes the weakened area to bulge. As the area continues to dilate and grow larger, the risk of rupture increases. If an aneurysm bursts in a major artery, massive bleeding and death can occur. Types of Aneurysm Aneurysms may occur in any artery, however, the most common site of aneurysms is the abdominal aorta. The aorta is the body's main artery.

Dietary fiber is the part of whole plant foods that your body can't break down. It helps you to feel full, helps keep you regular and helps you digest food more slowly, preventing spikes in blood sugar. Fiber-rich whole foods can improve your nutrition, glucose tolerance, and blood fat profiles, reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity.

Foods high in soluble fiber form the basis of all meals and snacks, and are the first thing to eat on an empty stomach. Safe foods include rice and pasta, oatmeal, fresh white breads, rice cereals, flour and corn tortillas, carrots, yams, potatoes and sweet potatoes. Insoluble fiber foods can also be eaten, but with care. They are not eaten on an empty stomach, and are only eaten in small portions alongside soluble fiber foods. Foods high in insoluble fiber include whole-wheat flour, bread, cereal and bran, whole grains in breads, cereals and granola, muesli, seeds, nuts, beans and popcorn.

And it highlights the two parallel paths that automakers are taking as they work to boost gas mileage ratings to meet steadily rising corporate average fuel economy rules. The Sonata Eco uses a smaller gasoline engine, a different transmission, and some other modifications to deliver the highest ratings of any non-hybrid Sonata. DON'T MISS: 2015 Hyundai Sonata Eco: Quick Drive Of Higher-Gas Mileage Small Turbo Four Unlike the conventional gasoline Sonata, with its 2.0-liter engine, the Sonata Eco is powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter four that produces 178 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. The Eco is also the sole Sonata to use Hyundai's own seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, rather than the more conventional six-speed automatic. It's also fitted with a high final-drive ratio. The 2015 Sonata Eco is EPA-rated at 32 mpg combined (28 mpg city, 38 mpg highway).2015 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid 4-door Sedan Limited Dashboard That compares to the conceptually similar 2015 Ford Fusion 1.5 Eco Boost, which comes with ratings of 29 mpg combined (25 mpg city, 37 mpg highway), but uses a conventional six-sped automatic transmission. We had driven the Sonata Eco briefly last October, during testing for our Green Car Reports 2015 Best Car To Buy award nominees. But quick loops through the twisty Malibu canyons above Los Angeles are hardly representative of how most buyers will use a car like this.

They call for varying musical forces and last for different durations, but it should be emphasized that all of these definitions have exceptions. The words used in describing a musical composition are well defined at a certain point in time, and the meaning of a word changes imperceptibly from year to year. Over decades and centuries, however, the various definition of a musical structure and nature of a type of composition can change so much to almost make the genre undefinable. There's no \"\"Naming Police\"\" that makes some sort of ruling, so composers can name something whatever they want. Let's start small with: Partita. This term (meaning \"\"divided off\"\" or \"\"piece\"\") started out as a word for a short single-movement instrumental piece."

Bartlett Last updated: February 20, 2018Fuel economy is an important factor to consider when buying a new car, even when gas prices are down. History has shown that they won't stay that way forever. Many conventional cars today offer impressive fuel economy, especially in contrast to what you may be trading in. Further, alternative powertrains offer an increasing array of choices, with diesels, electrics, and hybrids each carrying appeal for different drivers. Measuring fuel economy is among our more than 50 tests we conduct on each car we purchase. Our fuel economy numbers are derived from a precision flow meter and are rounded to the nearest mile per gallon (mpg). CR's overall mileage is calculated from equal portions of city and highway driving.

Then, in 2011, it was redesigned with brash style that drew attention to a slew of reliability gains. Recast in the 2015 model year with a more refined personality and a more subdued style, the 2017 Sonata is offered in Sonata SE, Sport, Limited and Eco models. It's a rival for vehicles with fearsome reputations for sales and durability, including the Camry, Accord, Fusion, and Altima—not to mention the Malibu, Passat, Optima, 200, and Legacy.

The 2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid and Fusion Energi are now in their sixth model year, older than any competing mid-size sedans with high-efficiency hybrid or plug-in versions. Mildly refreshed last year, the Fusion remains a good-looking sedan with a comfortable and stylish interior. The hybrid Fusion has four trim levels: the base S, the mid-level SE, the premium Titanium, and the top-of-the-line Platinum. The plug-in hybrid Fusion Energi comes in SE, Titanium, or Platinum trim levels. We give the Fusion Hybrid and Energi an overall score of 7.5, adding points for a still-handsome design, rewarding handling, a pleasant and high-quality interior, and active-safety systems updated to stay competitive. ( Read more about how we rate cars . ) Newer competitors, however, simply outdo the hybrid Fords’ EPA ratings for fuel economy, electric range, or both.

"text": "A ADo gas-saver hybrids and diesels truly save money? Last updated: February 2012Chevrolet Volt Gas prices have more than doubled in the last 10 years, and they remain in constant flux. One effect we’ve seen is that the price of hybrids and diesels spike along with gas prices, then fall back to Earth whenever gas prices moderate. When fuel prices were on their meteoric rise in 2008, stories of used hybrids selling for new-car prices were common, and nearly all new hybrids came with a premium on top of the sticker price or a long waiting list. Lately, the hybrid hype has cooled. And introductions of new diesel models in North America have been limited to a few European automakers. But not all hybrids and diesels make financial sense, even in an era of high gas prices. Our latest analysis shows which models pay for themselves in overall owner costs—and which don’t. Our findings show that six tested diesels can save you money no matter what fuel costs, because their depreciation and fuel costs are significantly lower than their closest conventional counterparts: the Volkswagen Golf TDI, Jetta TDI sedan and wagon, and Passat TDI, the Mercedes-Benz E350 Blue Tec, and the GL350 Blue Tec SUV. Buying a Passat TDI instead of the five-cylinder Passat can save you $5,000 over five years based on diesel fuel price of $3.90 per gallon and $3.60 for gas."

But let us examine it more closely and look at the facts surrounding the piece, find past and future musical connections and, of course, compare and choose the best recordings of the sonata. It is said that Beethoven was inspired to write the sonata while visiting Lake Balaton, located in Hungary. The sonata, which is in three movements, as most sonatas of the classical period, is best known for the first movement, Adagio sostenuto (there are about 10 times as many recordings of it than there are of the whole piece). The descending bass-line, characterising the introduction, sometimes called the Phrygian progression, (which it, strictly speaking, isn’t in this case, because it detours to subdominant f-sharp before reaching the target dominant g-sharp ), had been used long before Beethoven: Adagio from a Sonata by Albinoni, written 100 years earlier And thus, borrowing the idea of this baroque rhetoric figure, Beethoven starts his Sonata. But what really captured the public’s heart was the ever-imploring polyrhythmic motif making up the main theme: Both the perpetual triplets and the polyrhythm were copied out of Mozart’s score – from the Commendatore’s death scene in ‘Don Giovanni’. The unusual tonal progressions are what led Beethoven to title the sonata “Quasi una Fantasia”."

I’m talking about cars that are fuel efficient, comfortable, and appealing to riders. The latest uber rate cuts are ridiculous, and you’ll need to do everything you can to come ahead of a little profit. I don’t recommend buying a brand new car just to drive for uber. If you happen to have a brand new car and you want to make some extra cash driving with Uber, that’s fine. But buying a new car for the solely purpose of ubering is plainly stupid. Oops I said it! I meant it’s not worth buying a new car to be putting mileage on it for 30 cents a mile as in Detroit Michigan, or 80 cents/mile as in Tampa FL. For an uber driver, the most substantial and essential investment is a car. And to make sure this investment is profitable, productive and effective; the car you’re buying for Uber must be fuel efficient along with being spacious and comfortable, and as well nice to maintain a good uber rating."

"text": "How Much Electric Range Does The New Toyota Prius Plug-in Need To Be Competitive? Jeff Cobb December 14, 2015Tweet Photos As Toyota prepares to launch its fourth-generation 2016 Prius through U. S. dealers this January, it’s saying nothing much about the plug-in hybrid version due to follow. This article might just have well stirred the pot asking “what do we know” about the next Prius PHV, but what we know is actually quite a lot, except for one major question: all-electric range. The new Prius PHV, which analyst Alan Baum projects might be revealed as soon as spring 2016 and be on sale that same fall, will share all major underpinnings with the regular hybrid stablemate (pictured above). Aesthetic distinctions are expected, but the platform, powertrain and overall design inside and out are likely to be a variation on the known theme, with the primary difference being beefed-up electric drive capability. This may be a good thing, as Toyota’s Prius PHV has, to put it politely, met with mixed reception since its launch in 2012.2012-2015 Prius PHV. In the small and insular world of plug-in enthusiasts, some saw Toyota’s 4.4-kilowatt-hour battery tacked on in place of a sub-2-kwh pack in the regular hybrid as a half measure. By comparison, the now-discontinued 2014-15 Honda Accord Plug-in Hybrid had a 6.7-kwh pack, the Ford Energis have 7.6, the Hyundai Sonata PHEV has 9.8 and the new Chevy Volt has 18.4 kilowatt-hours. The Prius PHV’s EPA rating was a mere 11 miles “elec+gas.” A careful driver might get 15 miles or more on a good drive, but it still fell short of all other competitors, and paled in comparison to the Chevy Volt.2016 C-Max Energi."

Moroccan Spadefoot Toad (Pelobates varaldii) EN© Philippe Geniez / EPHE-EBV1Overview The Moroccan spadefoot toad is a burrowing species, spending half the year in a dormant state underground. It is only active in the autumn and winter when it comes to the surface during the night to feet. They do not really hunt for their prey, but rather wait for invertebrates to come to them. This species tends to breed in temporary pools which form after heavy rains. Eggs hatch after a week of being laid and the tadpoles metamorphose in May/June. This species is threatened by habitat destruction and does not occur in man-altered areas. It is especially affected by arable cultivation and livestock farming within its range. Urgent Conservation Actions Further surveys to determine the exact range - it is important to determine whether this species occurs in the Merja Serga Biological Reserve; habitat protection.

"text": "Adaptations of Desert Amphibians & Reptiles Thomas R. Van Devender Amphibians and reptiles have many different adaptations that allow them to live in deserts, avoiding extremes in aridity, heat, or cold. The animals may be active only in certain seasons and at favorable times of the day. Many use the environment to actively regulate their body temperatures, preventing lethal extremes. And some are well adapted to the surfaces they live on — with modified appendages for burrowing or the capacity to run on, dive into, swim in or sidewind across loose sand. Before vertebrate animals adapted to specific terrestrial habitats, such as deserts, they first had to adapt to living on land. The primary adaptations to life on land occurred in the Paleozoic 400 to 360 mya (million years ago) with the evolution of amphibians. Amphibians, a name derived from the Greek word amphibios (a being with a double life), live in fresh water as larvae and can move onto land as adults. In the amphibian’s metamorphosis from larva to adult, one can read the story of its evolution from lung fish: the larva uses gills to breathe and openings along its lateral line to sense its environment; in the adult these are lost, and lungs, limbs and digits develop. Aquatic larvae and thin permeable skin vulnerable to water loss and sunlight prevent amphibians from entirely living on land and limit their radiation into arid habitats. Although early amphibians had lumbered ashore in search of insects, vertebrates didn’t finally leave the water until later in the Paleozoic when the first reptiles evolved waterproof skin and an egg with membranes (amnion, chorion) to protect embryos from desiccation."

Many of them are highlighted in the Oregon Conservation Strategy as species in need of help—that is, they have low or declining populations. There is also one known invasive frog species, the American bullfrog. Cascades Frog ( Rana cascadae) Cascades frogs have gold eyes and long hind legs. They live in moist mountain meadows and damp bogs and forests. Home is usually a shallow pond, marsh or small stream. Studies indicate that populations are increasingly small, and some populations may be adversely affected by pollution and increasing sunlight levels. Fun fact: The Cascade’s scientific name is Rana cascadae —rana is Latin for frog and cascadae refers to the frog’s traditional homeland, the Cascade Mountains. Lives: East and West Cascades Coastal Tailed Frog ( Ascaphus truei) Coastal tailed frogs live in fast running streams and can sometimes be found on damp banks or under rocks. They like cold water and their coloring often matches the color of local rock."

"text": "\"Eastern spadefoot toad on endangered list By Wayne Laepple May 26, 2009The eastern spadefoot toad Photo provided The Daily Item, Sunbury, PAMILTON -- The eastern spadefoot toad was placed on the endangered list in 2005 when it was found there are only two locations in the state where they live. Pennsylvania is near the northern limit of their range, but they are common in the southeastern United States. There also are populations in Massachusetts, New York and Ohio. Not many folks have ever seen an eastern spadefoot toad, because they spend much of their lives underground. In fact, they stay underground for weeks at a time, emerging only during or just after a heavy rain to breed. Not only that, they are nocturnal, emerging from their burrows only to breed and eat during the hours of darkness. Their diet consists of beetles, crickets, caterpillars and spiders. Their reproduction is known in scientific circles as explosive breeding, since all the members of a colony breed at the same time. Rain, humidity and changes in barometric pressure bring the males out first. They make their way to vernal ponds -- ponds that dry up -- where they call the females with an explosive \"\"wank\"\" croak that some liken to an immature crow's call."

"text": "Species profile Northern Quoll Range and abundance The Northern Quoll formerly occurred across northern Australia from Western Australia to south-east Queensland. Its distribution has declined dramatically, especially in the more arid parts of its range, with populations declining rapidly after the arrival of the cane toad. Extant populations occur in the Pilbara, Kimberley, parts of the Northern Territory and near-coastal Queensland. Remnant populations are associated with rocky areas. In higher rainfall parts of its range where the cane toad does not occur, such as Groote Eylandt and the northern Kimberley, the Northern Quoll remains common. Description The Northern Quoll is the smallest of the four Australian quoll species with a body length of 249 - 370 mm, a tail length of 202 - 345 mm, and weight of 240 - 1120 g. It has reddish brown fur, with a cream underside, white spots on its back and rump, a blackish tail and a pointed snout. Ecology Northern Quolls are nocturnal predators of invertebrates, but they also eat small mammals, reptiles, birds, carrion and fruit. Quolls become sexually mature at one year of age. During the mating season (around June to August), males expend considerable energy fighting other males, and do not survive to breed a second year. Females den in tree hollows, hollow logs and rock crevices; they raise a litter of up to eight young."

Photo: National Park Service California Has It’s Own List Of Endangered Species Of Animals L ike all states, California is home to many species of animals that are listed and protected under the U. S. Endangered Species Act (ESA). Also like other states, California maintains its own list of Endangered and Threatened species. A total of 157 California animals are on either the state list of endangered species, the federal list of endangered species, or both lists at once. As of January, 2011, the state endangered species list contained 46 animals that were listed as Endangered, and 35 animals that were listed as Threatened. California animals protected under the federal ESA include 88 Endangered animals and 40 animals that are officially Threatened. There are 31 California animals that are listed only by the state as endangered or threatened, and there are 71 animals that are listed only by the federal government as endangered or threatened. A total of 55 endangered or threatened species are listed by both the state and federal governments. California animals occupying spots on one or both endangered species lists include 3 gastropods—snails and abalones—and 8 crustaceans, 7 of which are shrimp species, and one of which is a crayfish. There are more than 20 endangered and threatened insects, most of which are butterflies, with most of the remainder consisting of moths and beetles."

It was then that I found out how unique they were appearance-wise. After doing many photo shoots, I discovered their personalities. Some were easier to work with than others, almost as if they \"\"understood\"\" that it was a photo shoot and that I wanted them to pose and stay in different positions and locations. Now, it has been years working with these spiders and I really enjoy sharing their photos on the internet and enlightening people all over the world, helping them to appreciate these tiny creatures. Many people have written to me with questions about their care, which inspired me to create this page, which is a compilation of my knowledge and the answers to all of the questions I have been asked thus far. The spider that changed my life the most and began my interest in spider-keeping, was Biglegs. Click on his photo below to read about my experiences with him.

"text": "\"HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR A TADPOLE TO BECOME A FROG ? The simple answer There is no simple answer to this question. Life cycles vary greatly between species and, of course, the development of the tadpoles is one major difference. Tadpole life is often dictated by environmental factors. That is, conditions and evolutionary pressures have adapted the frogs' life-cycles to best suit their surroundings. For example, species which live in arid environments must have a very fast tadpole development in order for eggs to be laid in pools following rain and tadpoles fully develop before those pools dry up again in a matter of days, while frogs which live by permanent water sources can have a much longer development. Another evolutionary modification is the removal of some or all of the \"\"free-living\"\" tadpole stage. Direct development is where the eggs are laid out of water and the tadpoles pass their entire developmental period on land, and delayed emergence is where the eggs are laid on land and the tadpoles enter the water at a relatively advanced stage of development. About one-quarter of Australian frog species use one of these methods. Even within a single species, the time taken for tadpoles to develop can vary."

The tadpole at this point consists of poorly developed gills, a mouth, and a tail. It's really fragile at this point. They usually will stick themselves to floating weeds or grasses in the water using little sticky organs between its' mouth and belly area. Then, 7 to 10 days after the tadpole has hatched, it will begin to swim around and feed on algae. After about 4 weeks, the gills start getting grown over by skin, until they eventually disappear. The tadpoles get teeny tiny teeth which help them grate food turning it into soupy oxygenated particles."

The Northern quoll once occupied a broad band across northern Australia but is now restricted to a handful of isolated populations and islands. Quolls were declining prior to cane toad invasion, due to habitat loss, frequent burning, and predation ( Woinarski et al. 2010 ). The recent advance of the cane toad ( Bufo marinus) across the Northern Territory has been catastrophic for the northern quoll. Cane toads are highly toxic, and quolls that mouth or attack large toads rapidly die from toad poisoning. Many quoll populations were decimated after cane toads invaded, and quolls have gone locally extinct in many areas of the Northern Territory, including parts of Kakadu National Park ( Woinarski et al. 2010 )."

It has a smooth, leathery skin and is olive green or mottled brown in color. Just behind the large golden eye with horizontal pupil is a bulging kidney-shaped parotoid gland. Below this is a large circular pale green area which is the tympanum or ear drum. By the corner of the mouth there is a white wart and there are white glands on the legs. All these glands produce toxic secretions. Dogs that have attacked toads have been paralyzed or even killed. Raccoons have learned to pull a toad away from a pond by the back leg, turn it on its back and start feeding on its belly, a strategy that keeps the raccoon well away from the poison glands. ["

"text": "Tags: tuna | mercury | risk Mercury in Tuna Is More Dangerous Than You Think By Nick Tate | Tuesday, 19 May 2015 09:36 AMEmail Article | Comment | Contact | Print | A ATweet Consumer Reports is sounding the alarm about mercury in tuna, following a new study showing levels of the toxic heavy metal in tuna have increased dramatically over the last 15 years. That means current federal Dietary Guidelines for Americans may be advising consumers to eat more than they should — particularly pregnant women and children. Consumer Reports is challenging federal health officials’ position that the benefits of eating tuna outweigh the risks. Using the current safety limits set by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, a new analysis by the magazine's health experts indicates that a 48-pound child who eats more than 1.4 ounces of tuna per week — about one-third of a can, or the amount in a single sandwich — could be at risk for brain-damaging mercury exposure. A woman weighing about 140 pounds would exceed it by eating more than 4.5 ounces weekly. “ We believe the [Food and Drug Administration] should advise stricter limits on tuna consumption and educate people about other fish that have health benefits without the risks,” says Jean Halloran, director of food policy initiatives for Consumers Union, the policy and advocacy arm of the nonprofit organization. “ It isn’t simple, but that’s no excuse for the FDA to throw up its hands and give no help to pregnant women who may have a toddler to feed and a family to cook for.” Canned tuna is the second most popular seafood in the U. S. (shrimp is No. 1) and is responsible for about 37 percent of Americans’ dietary mercury exposure. For a decade, federal health officials have recommended that women of childbearing age and young children limit weekly consumption of albacore (white) tuna because it contains three times more mercury than canned light tuna."

"text": "\"GENERAL INFORMATION: SPANISH MACKERELOrder - Perciformes (Scomberomorus maculatus) Family - Scombridae Genus - Scomberomorus Species - maculatus Spanish Mackerels are members of the large family of fish that include the Tunas and other Mackerels. Although these fish vary greatly in size, they share many common characteristics including being very fast, powerful swimmers. The average size of Spanish Mackerel is from 2-3 pounds, while a weight of 9-10 pounds is considered large. Spanish Mackerels are considered coastal pelagic fin fish, forming immense, fast-moving schools that range the open seas of the Atlantic Ocean, from New York to the Gulf of Mexico. In the late summer and early fall this species migrates southward to spend the winter and early spring along Florida's southern coast. Spanish Mackerels do not appear to move freely around the Florida Keys, creating separate Gulf and Atlantic populations.- Common Names The English language common names for this species are Atlantic spanish mackerel, horse mackerel, spotted mackerel, Spaniard, spotted cybium and Spanish mackerel.- Geographical Distribution Spanish mackerel are found in the subtropical and tropical waters off North America and the Caribbean. They are locally found along the Atlantic coast from as far north as Nova Scotia (Canada) and south to Florida along the Gulf of Mexico (US). Florida is considered to be the area with the highest abundance of Spanish mackerel.- Habitat Spanish mackerel are epipelagic, residing at depths ranging from 33-115 feet . They are often found in very large schools near the surface of the water. They frequent barrier islands and the passes associated with these islands and are rarely found in low salinity waters."

Mackerel can be fried, baked, poached, grilled, marinated, smoked and barbecued it is considered by some to be the best barbecue fish in the South Pacific. One should always take particular care not to overcook mackerel, and if the mackerel is being fried it should first be lightly salted. Mackerel frames are excellent for fish stock. The high oiliness of these species often requires the addition of an acid to balance the richness."

It is found in around the Indian Ocean and adjoining seas. It is known by various names, such as \"\"surmai\"\" (सुरमई) in Hindi, surmai (سرمئ) in Urdu, \"\"surmai\"\" (सुरमई) in Marathi, vanjaram (వంజరం) in Telugu, vanjaram (வஞ்சிரம்) in Tamil, ayakkoora or neimeen (അയക്കൂറ അഥവാ നെയ്മീന്) in Malayalam, anjal (ಅಂಜಲ್) in Tulu, arkoli (ಅರ್ಕೊಲಿ) in Kannada, iswaan or viswan (विस्वण) in Konkani, iswan in Nawaythythora in Sinhala and pla inthri (ปลาอินทรี) in Thai. It is a popular game fish, growing up to 45 kg (100 lb), and is a strong fighter that has on occasion been seen to leap out of the water when hooked. It is excellent tablefare and is primarily caught by sportfishers trolling with plugs (Rapala or Stretch 25+, 30+) or feathers/jigs, and on 30 lbf (130 N) tackle it is extremely sporting. At times it is possible to catch more than one by casting silver spoons or pirks when one is hooked while trolling. It is very popular among the countries of the Indian subcontinent including Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. It is a fairly expensive fish that is considered a delicacy in most places. In addition to being cooked and eaten when fresh, it is also used to make fish pickle, usually eaten as a condiment with rice.

It is found in warm temperate and tropical waters of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean; in the western Atlantic, it ranges from Brazil to the New England states. It is found regularly in offshore and inshore waters, and is classified as a highly migratory species by UNCLOS. [ 1] Occurring in large schools and weighing up to 36 lb, it is one of the smaller members of the tuna family ( Scombridae ), and is one of the finest small game-fish in the Atlantic. Commonly called false albacore or little tuna, it resembles the Atlantic bonito, skipjack tuna, and species of mackerel. [ 2] The little tunny feeds primarily on pelagic fish. It is best identified by the dark spots appearing between its pectoral and ventral fins and \"\"worm-like\"\" markings on its back. [ 3] Commercially, the fish is used as bait for sharks and marlin due to its high oil content and hook retention. It is considered by many to be a trash fish because its taste is darker and stronger tasting than that of the other large tunas. [ 4] ciguatera poisoning related to its consumption has even been reported."

Averaging around 20 pounds and exceeding 40 pounds, the great barracuda can be caught all year on the Treasure Coast, but the best fishing is during the warm summer months from May through October. We target barracuda with spinning and fly tackle, often live chumming the fish around offshore buoys or wrecks. The sharp teeth of the barracuda require the use of a wire leader, and the strikes are typically very visual and close to the boat. While there is no size or bag limit on barracuda, we typically don't keep them for comsumption. Blackfin Tuna - A schooling fish that's strong and aggressive, the blackfin tuna averages around 20 pounds, but fish up to 30 pounds are common along the Treasure Coast. Blackfin tuna can be caught all year, but the best action is in the spring and fall months.

True or not, we now know that the venerable wobbling spoon is one of the great all-time lures in both fresh and salt water. With so many new trolling lures on the market these days, it’s worth noting that spoons work as well today as they did 50 years ago. It’s hard to beat a properly presented spoon for kingfish, blackfin tuna, Spanish mackerel and bluefish. Even dolphin and the occasional billfish will take a crack at them.

Saying that you are Western European says nothing about ethnicity. There are non Caucasian people throughout Europe. Most Spanish people are white/caucasian-- unless they are descendants of another race. ie. If their family moved to Spain from Japan they are still Spanish but of Japanese ethnicity. Another bit of confusion comes from terms like Hispanic and Latino when applied to people from Spain. Hispanic refers to an individual who comes from a Spanish speaking country regardless of ethnicity."

Approximate range of the Capra species Capra is a genus of mammals, the goats, composed of up to nine species, including the wild goat, the markhor, and several species known as ibex. The domestic goat ( Capra aegagrus hircus) is a domesticated subspecies of the wild goat ( Capra aegagrus ). Evidence of goat domestication dates back more than 8,500 years. Wild goats are animals of mountain habitats. They are very agile and hardy, able to climb on bare rock and survive on sparse vegetation. They can be distinguished from the genus Ovis, which includes sheep, by the presence of scent glands close to the feet, in the groin, and in front of the eyes, and the absence of other facial glands, and by the presence of a beard in the males, and of hairless calluses on the knees of the forelegs.

"text": "\"Answer by SD Knight Confidence votes 13Introduction: This is a very divisive topic and Spaniards and Latinos differ strongly in their opinions. Please see all of the opinions below and take each one with a grain of salt. Note: a number of answers have been removed since they simply engage in race-bashing and do not actually discuss the question. If you want to see all of the answers, please see the Discussion Page. Answer 1: Spaniards are Mixed They are all of these things. The difference is that American Hispanics/latinos are likely to have a mix of Indian blood as well, unless their ancestors came directly from Spain. Then, that makes it difficult for them to be caucasian, since they are a combination of two races. But, what a great one! Answer 2: Spaniards are White The person above me is wrong. There are TONS of REAL Spaniards in America."

Update: if they're the same, why are the tow always differentiated?2 following 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: They are actually very different, it is a VERY common misconception that these two terms mean the same. A white person is Caucasian but a Caucasian is not a white person. The Caucasian/Caucasoid Race is a very large racial group that consists of Arabs, North Africans, Whites, Ethiopians and Somalians (yes, i'm serious) and some people of India. It is very similar to the \"\"Mongoloid Race\"\". Asians are Mongoloids but not all Mongoloids are Asian. The Mongoloid race is made up of Native Americans, Asians and Southeast Asians. For the record, if disagree with me about the race of Ethiopians/Somalians, please talk to whoever wrote this site; http://strategyleader.org/peopledefiniti... I really don't mean to offend anybody, i'm just stating facts. I accept people of the Horn of Africa as black because that is how they will be treated in society and that is how the common man perceives them.

This is an article I found that covers the subject well in my opinion. It discusses each term and also their subjectivity. Enjoy Ethnicity vs. Race (these are excerpts from the article not the entire thing)The traditional definition of race and ethnicity is related to biological and sociological factors respectively. Race refers to a person’s physical characteristics, such as bone structure and skin, hair, or eye color. Ethnicity, however, refers to cultural factors, including nationality, regional culture, ancestry, and language. An example of race is brown, white, or black skin (all from various parts of the world), while an example of ethnicity is German or Spanish ancestry (regardless of race). Definition An ethnic group or ethnicity is a population group whose members identify with each other on the basis of common nationality or shared cultural traditions. The term race refers to the concept of dividing people into populations or groups on the basis of various sets of physical characteristics (which usually result from genetic ancestry)."

"text": "\"definition : mestizo Mestizo (; Peninsular Spanish: , Latin American Spanish: ) is a term traditionally used in Spain, Latin America, and to a lesser extent, in the Philippines which originally meant a person of combined European and Amerindian descent, regardless of where the person was born. The term was used as an ethnic/racial category in the casta system that was in use during the Spanish Empire's control of their American colonies. Nowadays though, particularly in Latin America, Mestizo has become more of a cultural term, with culturally mainstream Latin Americans regarded or termed as Mestizos regardless of their actual ancestry, and with the term \"\"Indian\"\" being reserved exclusively for people who have maintained a separate indigenous ethnic identity, language, tribal affiliation, etc. Consequently, today, the vast majority of Spanish speaking Latin Americans are regarded as Mestizos. However, Uruguayans and Argentineans are usually not considered Mestizos because of their dominant European origin. The term mestizaje – taking as its root mestizo or \"\"mixed\"\" – is the Spanish word for miscegenation, the general process of mixing ancestries. To avoid confusion with the original usage of the term , mixed people started to be referred to collectively as . In some Latin American countries, such as Mexico, the concept of the \"\"mestizo\"\" became central to the formation of a new independent identity that was neither wholly Spanish nor wholly indigenous, and the word mestizo acquired its current meaning, with it being used by the government to refer to all Mexicans who do not speak indigenous languages, including people of complete European or indigenous descent as well as Asians and Africans. In colonial Venezuela, was more commonly used instead of . means being mixed without specifying which mixture; it was used to describe anyone born in the Americas whose ancestry was a mixture of European, Amerindian, and Black African."

Flag Why are Hispanics and Latinos considered white in the census? Answer by Scarshoulder Confidence votes 31Type your answer here... Hispanics are considered white in the U. S. Census (among others) because, from an anthropological and medical standpoint, they share key genetic markers and skeletal measurements with 'whites'. This is because Hispanics have European ancestry (as opposed to Latinos, who have only indigenous heritage). It has nothing to do with skin, hair, and eye color or nationality/culture as it does with genetics. of course, given that almost all questionnaires that ask for ethnicity are self-identifying, ultimately what a person considers him- or herself is up to the individual.2 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Those are two separate and distinct cultures. People of Spanish and Portuguese descent who are born on the Iberian peninsula are usually, but not always, considered white Europeans. The term Hispanic generally refers to anything pertaining to Spain and the countries Spain colonized in the Americas and elsewhere...or where the Spanish had an influence. Lusophone or Lusophonic is the term used for anything pertaining to the serious study of Portuguese life and culture whether in Portugal or anywhere else in the world where Portugual has a colony or influence. Lusitania is the ancient name for Portugal. It's not a term you hear outside of academia much. I know the term because I majored in Latin American and Caribbean studies in university...so one runs across it in those studies quite a lot. Like others said here, Hispanic can be of any race, according to how the US Government and most academics define Hispanic. In a sense, anyone in the Portuguese Diaspora can also be of any race, too."

In the US the term Caucasian seems to be used for Italians, but as an Italian, a majority of Italians claim not to be Caucasian. Answer: I note that the context of your question is the United States. Keep in mind that uses of terms will vary from country to country. Even in the United States, you will find variations in usage from region to region. Italians will vary also from community to community. In the United States, great numbers of people with Italian cultural or genetic heritage are also mixed with other lineages, just as most Americans. Question: Would you call Latins Caucasian? Answer: What is really in question here is how various terms are used. Following general usage and meanings, we may initially answer yes, of course, Latins (Latin Americans) are generally Caucasian."

It serves to set biological names apart from other parts of a text. Ex. Homo sapiens Also, one must always capitalize the genus and all other taxa (kingdom, phylum, etc.) except for species, which is always lowercase.

"text": "\"What is a genus? A genus is a group of organisms, in this case trees, that are closely related and share similar characteristics. For example, all trees in the Pine genus ( Pinus) have long, narrow needles bound in bundles and hard, woody cones with thick, tough scales. All plants have two types of names: a common name and a scientific name. Common names are written in English (or in German if you're in Germany, or in French if you're in France), but scientific names are always written in Latin, so they can be used anywhere in the world. Example: Common name = sugar pine Scientific name = Pinus lambertiana The genus name refers to the general type of tree (e.g. \"\"pine\"\" or Pinus ), while the species name refers to the specific type of pine (e.g. \"\"sugar\"\" or lambertiana ). Other pines have the same genus name in both English and Latin, but they have different species names. For example:ponderosa pine: Pinus ponderosalodgepole pine: Pinus contorta\"\"Genera\"\" is the plural term for more than one genus. Scientific names are always italicized or underlined . Although the naming system takes a while to get used to, you'll soon realize that learning tree names can be fun."

For example, the botanical name Bellis perennis denotes a plant species which is native to most of the countries of Europe and the Middle East, where it has accumulated various names in many languages. Later, the plant was introduced worldwide, bringing it into contact with more languages. English names for this plant species include: daisy, [2] English daisy, [3] and lawn daisy.

Imagine the problems that we would have if we were not given names and if we did not name our cities, streets or pets. Now imagine if we did not classify the books that are in our libraries, tools in hardware stores, video tapes in video stores, etc. Without names for objects and a system to classify them, it would be impossible or at least be very difficult to organize, categorize and find information for which we are searching. It should not be a surprise then that there is a discipline in biology called taxonomy that studies the classification and naming of organisms. Presently, there are approximately 1.5 million species of organisms that have been described by biologists and each year thousand of new species are described by science. It is estimated that the total number of species may range from 5 to 30 million. With such a rich diversity of life on this planet, naming and classifying this many organisms would be a difficult task, to say the least. However, such a system must be constructed if our knowledge in biology is to advance. The job of the taxonomist is a difficult one."

"text": "Scientific names Taxonomy is the science of classifying organisms. The system currently used by taxonomists is called the Linnaean taxonomic system, in honor of Swedish biologist Carolus Linnaeus (1707 — 1778). The Linnaean system breaks down organisms into seven major divisions, called taxa (singular: taxon). The divisions are as follows: Major Taxonomic Levels Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species Note: There are many subdivisions of the seven main taxonomic levels, such as Subphylum, Subclass, Infraclass, and so on. You may see many of these other sublevel taxa listed in the taxonomic tree of an organism. The classification levels become more specific towards the bottom. Many organisms belong to the same kingdom, fewer belong to the same phylum, and so on, with species being the most specific classification. A species is one group of genetically distinct, interbreeding organisms. The average genetic differences within a species are less than the average differences between that species and a closely related group of organisms. The classifications also tell something about the degree of relation between different organisms."

The binomial name of a species is based on the binomial nomenclature system. It has to have two parts, i.e. the genus name and the specific epithet. For example, in Escherichia coli (the binomial name of a certain bacterial species), the genus name is Escherichia and the specific epithet is the coli . The genus name and the specific epithet are often based on the species' distinctive features or descriptions derived from Latin and Greek languages. The specific epithet begins in small letter whereas the genus name starts in a capital letter. Both the genus name and the specific epithet are in italicized form. The genus name may be abbreviated but not the specific epithet. For instance, the scientific name for cat, Felis domesticus, can be abbreviated into F. domesticus.

Among these are that taxa are named in Latin (or at least in Latinate style) and that they are organized as a nested hierarchy. •Species represent a fundamental unit in taxonomy. Species are grouped into genera. •There is no single universally recognized method of identifying when two individuals are in the same species This is even more problematic for fossils, where some relevant information (such as interbreeding, DNA, and so on) is not available. •Taxonomic differences are not the only reason that two individuals might be different: ontogenetic, sexual, geographic & individual variations have to be considered as well.

[ 1]Bettas are anabantoids, which means they can breathe atmospheric air using a unique organ called the labyrinth. This accounts for their ability to thrive in low-oxygen water conditions that would kill most other fish, such as rice paddies, slow-moving streams, drainage ditches, and large puddles. [ 2]The bettas exhibit two kinds spawning behaviour: some build bubble nests, such as B. splendens, while others are mouthbrooders, such as B. picta. The mouthbrooding species are sometimes called \"\"pseudo bettas\"\", and are sometimes speculated to have evolved from the nest-builders in an adaptation to their fast-moving stream habitats. [ 3]A phylogenetic study published in 2004 concluded tentatively that bubble-nesting was the ancestral condition in Betta, and that mouthbrooding has evolved on more than one occasion in the history of the genus."

Most of the commonly used woody plants have been given so-called common names, in some cases, unfortunately, more than one. The duplication of different common names for the same plant is a particularly serious problem as one moves from one section of our country to another. For example, consider the confusion when the common name \"\"cedar\"\" is applied to plants that include arborvitae, cedar, cypress, false cypress, juniper and sequoia. We are not excluded from this problem in our upper Midwest and Northern Plains. To cite just a few examples, the American Linden is called Basswood, the American Hop-hornbeam is referred to as Ironwood and Amelanchier alnifolia is listed under such names as Juneberry, Serviceberry, Shadblow and Saskatoon. Duplication of names is not only an individual plant problem, but the magnitude of the problem increases when entirely different plants are dubbed with the same name. For example, laymen commonly refer to Balsam Poplar, Balsam Fir and a hybridized poplar as Balm-of-Gilead. To a traveler in a foreign country, local common names are even more troublesome."

Grey or black skin. How do Sperm Whales hunt? Sperm Whales will usually eat a little over 900 kg of food a day. To find their prey (preferably giant squid) they usually dive somewhere between 300 and 1,200 metres, although they can go as deep as 2 km while on the hunt. An average dive lasts about an hour. The whales generate the loudest natural animal-based noises in the world – a series of clicks – utilizing echolocation to focus in on their prey. Sperm Whale’s teeth along its bottom jaw are about 18 to 20 centimetres long, and fit into sockets along the underside of the top of the jaw or palette. The upper teeth never grow out of the upper jaw. Scientists believe that Sperm Whale’s and giant squid are eternal enemies."

Their mouths can get up to five feet long, and they can suck in 600 cubic meters of water every hour. Swimming next to one, then, might take you back to Pinocchio’s trip into the whale’s belly. And suddenly you might worry that that could actually happen to you. Could a whale shark swallow you by accident? The quick answer is no. Dr. Craig Mc Clain explains: I know that the esophagus of a whale shark measures only inches across. The massive beast could not choke me down even if it preferred man meat to plankton. The sharks know that they can’t eat you, and they often close their mouths around big prey like you or big fish."

"text": "What Do Whales Eat? When it comes to survival few things are as important as shelter, rest and food. For marine mammals such as whales food is not only extremely important for their survival it’s also important for maintaining balance in the oceans ecosystem. In order for whales to capture their food these marine mammals search and hunt for their prey using a variety of techniques in order to locate, isolate and immobilize their prey for easy consumption. Because there are around 90 different animals within the cetacean family it is important to understand that not all species of whale hunt or attack their prey in the same way. Depending on the whales size, social structure, environment, species and type (baleen or toothed) their diets can change drastically from small aquatic life forms such as fish, shrimp, larvae, plankton, crabs, krill and squid to large marine mammals (which are generally consumed by killer whale) such as sea lions, walruses, seals, sharks, seabirds and even large whales. One of the most useful abilities whales use when hunting for food is known as echolocation. Echolocation is a trait that is found in all species of toothed whale. Echolocation works by emitting a series of clicking and busing noises and then listening to the echos that bounce off of objects in the area (such as fish or other aquatic life forms). The amount of time it takes the echo to return to the whale can provide these marine mammals with vital information such as how far the object is, how dense it is, whether it is hard or soft, and whether or not the object is moving or still."

The sperm whale also happens to have the largest brain and cerebrum of any known mammal in existence today. In fact the sperm whales brain weighs 5 times that of a humans brain!Although brain size has previously been used to correlate intelligence among various animal species recent research has shown that brain size does not always equal high intelligence, so the sperm whales brain size cannot be used as the only determining factor of intelligence. However despite whether or not their brain size has an impact on their intelligence the cetacean family overall has displayed a high level of intelligence as a species. For those of you who aren’t familiar with cetaceans the cetacean species includes all species of whale, dolphin and porpoise. Most of what we know about cetacean intelligence has been gathered from research done on dolphins. Unfortunately most whale species are too large in nature to perform similar tests on, so intelligence gathering is often limited to observations of large whales and tests performed on smaller cetacean species. Among the dolphin population researchers and trainers have performed various tests on their ability to learn comprehensive tasks, problem solve and respond to various commands. Dolphins have also shown the ability self recognize and observe markings placed on their body when facing a mirror; a characteristic that is common among only a few highly intelligent species."

As the name suggests toothed whale are born with teeth and are generally considered the hunters of the cetacean family as species such as the killer whale and sperm whale are known to be aggressive hunters and many of the species are known to hunt in cooperative groups or teams to isolate and capture their prey. For the most part toothed whales are smaller than their baleen whale counterparts with the largest of the toothed whale family, the sperm whale, growing to lengths of up to 67 ft. and weighing over 45 tons. Note: Although the sperm whale can grow up to 67 ft. long most sperm whales measure in at between 49 – 60 ft. long. In comparison the second largest toothed whale is Baird’s beaked whale which can grow to lengths of just over 40 ft. Most other toothed whales are considerably smaller in stature and weight."

"text": "\"54 Swimming Facts about Whales By Karin Lehnardt, Senior Writer Published June 18, 2017Like dolphins and porpoises, whales are believed to have descended from land animals that returned to the water roughly 50 million years ago after living millions of years on land. [ 8]Because whales must rise to the surface often to breathe, only one half of their brain sleeps at a time. [ 8]Most etymologists believe the word “whale” comes from the High German word hwal, but it is also possible that it derived from the Old English word for “wheel” since the back of a whale rolling at the surface of the water resembles the rim of a large, submerged wheel. [ 15]Whales swim by moving their tails up and down in a vertical motion. In contrast, fish move their tails from side to side. [ 15]When a blue whale dives into the water, its head is already deeper than most scuba divers dare to go before its tail leaves the surface of the water. [ 6]Sperm whales can dive as deep as two miles into the water, and their bodies have unique physiological adaptations to allow them to survive the intense cold and crushing pressure of these dives. They can limit circulation to the brain and other organs, slow the heart to 10 beats per minute to conserve oxygen, and collapse the lungs and rib cage to withstand pressure. [ 17]Flukes are the two lobes of the whale tail “Fluking” is the term used for when a whale lifts its tail out of the water prior to making a deep dive. Because each whale species’ tail has unique features, fluking allows whale observers to identify species at a distance. ["

The largest animal ever to live on the earth, the Blue Whale, is a baleen whale and a member of the group known as rorquals, so called because they have pleated throats. Reaching lengths in excess of 33 metres there are estimated to be only between 6,000 and 14,000 Blue Whales remaining in the oceans of the world, the majority in the southern hemisphere. Baleen whales are filter feeders and largely eat krill (euphausids), copepods and small schooling fish. These types of whales suffered badly at the hands of whalers during the last century and their numbers have been seriously depleted. Different Types of Whales Mysticeti Currently taxonomists divide the mysticetes into the following four families although recently the fact that the Gray Whale stands alone in the family Eschrichtiidae has been challenged. Balaenopteridae - Rorquals Eschrichtiidae - Gray Whale Balaenidae - Right Whales Neobalaenidae - Pygmy Right Whale The suborder Odontoceti, the largest within the order Cetacea, comprises the toothed whales, which includes all dolphins and porpoises. Between them, the ten families contain 36 genera and 70 species, which include Sperm Whales, White Whales, the little known Beaked Whales and Pilot and Killer Whales. The largest Odontocete or toothed whale is the Sperm Whale reaching lengths of 20 metres. An animal of great extremes the Sperm Whale has the largest brain of any animal and probably makes the deepest dive of any whale, possibly up to 3000 metres deep that may last up to two hours in duration."

Sperm whales can dive to 3000 feet (915 meters) in pursuit of giant squid, their primary prey. Interesting Facts: Sperm whales have huge heads (40% of the body length) and possess the largest brain of any creature that has ever lived on Earth.

The sperm whale is the largest of the toothed whales and can grow to be as long as 67 ft. They also have the largest brain out of any animal known to exist. The name sperm whale comes from the spermaceti organ which is located in its head. The organ produces a white waxy substance that was originally mistaken for sperm by early whalers. While the role spermaceti plays is still not fully understood, in the past it was used by commercial companies to make various oils and products such as (transmission fluid, motor oil additives, pharmaceuticals and detergents) during the whaling era. Physical Characteristics and Appearance When fully matured a male sperm whale will typically grow to be around 50 – 55 ft long and weigh around 35 – 45 tons, with the largest whales measuring in at up to 67 ft. and weighing up to 65 tons.

An artists impression of a raptorial sperm whale Leviathan melvillei attacking a baleen whale The fossilized skull and jaw of the gigantic creature, which was over 43ft long with a ten foot head and huge teeth that ripped prey to shreds, were found off the coast of Peru. The fictional Moby Dick was a sperm whale and the new species Leviathan melvillei, which was driven to extinction by climate change, has been named in honour of Herman Melville, the author of the classic novel. H melvillei, described in Nature, is the largest fossil sperm whale ever found. Modern versions, which feed by suction, have the biggest bite of any mammal but their teeth are relatively small and restricted to the lower jaw. Related Articles The 'Mojoceratops' is named09 Jul 2010Dr Olivier Lambert, of the Natural History Museum in Paris, and colleagues said this beast's teeth measured up to 14 inches long and lined both jaws, giving it the biggest bite ever to kill prey in a similar manner to today's killer whales. The fossil was found in ocean layers where the giant shark has also been recorded - suggesting these two giant, raptorial predators could have lived in the same area devouring large baleen whales. The high calories in the fatty blubber of these whales may have satisfied the nutritional needs of H melvillei. The Natural History Museum in Rotterdam will exhibit reconstructions of the sea monster later this year."

"text": "\"Cruise of the Great White Fleet By JO2 [Journalist Second Class] Mike Mc Kinley The cruise of the Great White Fleet On the warm, cloudy morning of Dec. 16, 1907, President Theodore Roosevelt stood on the weather-deck of the presidential yacht Mayflower, anchored in the waters off Hampton Roads, Va. He flashed his famous broad, toothy smile and thought how \"\"bully\"\" it was to see a mighty armada of US battleships passing in review before him. The President, and indeed the throngs of onlookers gathered on shore, felt a great sense of pride and exhilaration as 16 battleships of the US Atlantic Fleet, all painted white, save for gilded bows, steamed in a long majestic column out of Hampton Roads to the open sea, flanked by their attending auxiliary ships. USS Connecticut (BB-18), leading the Atlantic Fleet to Sea, circa December 1907, probably at the start of the cruise around the world. NH 100349. Great White Fleet To the familiar strains of \"\"The Girl I left Behind Me,\"\" the procession of battlewagons passed before the President at 400-yard intervals with their crews smartly manning the rails. This newly designated battle fleet was made up of ships commissioned since the end of the Spanish-American War. They were USS Kearsarge (BB-5), USS Kentucky (BB-6), USS Illinois (BB-7), USS Alabama (BB-8), USS Maine (BB-10), USS Missouri (BB-11), USS Ohio (BB-12), USS Virginia (BB-13), USS Georgia (BB-15), USS New Jersey (BB-16), USS Rhode Island (BB-17), USS Connecticut (BB-18), USS Louisiana (BB-19), USS Vermont (BB-20), USS Kansas (BB-21) and USS Minnesota (BB-22). The four squadrons of warships, dubbed the \"\"Great White Fleet,\"\" were manned by 14,000 sailors and marines under the command of Rear Adm. Robley \"\"Fighting Bob\"\" Evans. All were embarking upon a naval deployment the scale of which had never been attempted by any nation before - the first 'round-the-world cruise by a fleet of steam-powered, steel battleships. The 43,000 mile, 14-month circumnavigation would include 20 port calls on six continents; it is widely considered one of the greatest peacetime achievements of the US Navy."

If you want a really dense and soft bermuda, mow low. The hybrid bermuda grass on golf course greens is mowed at 1/16 inch. If you want a prickly feeling, weed infested bermuda, that looks brown when you mow, mow high. If I had common bermuda I would get a reel type mower and mow it like okcdan. Like Save May 15, 2007 at 6:54PMtexasredhead (z8Texas)The problem with common bermuda that if allowed to get too tall, when you mow it will look like a bunch of stubble until it greens up again. The real issue is not to let it get too tall between mowings. I personally would keep it around 2\"\" and a sharp rotary mower does just fine."

"text": "What to Wear with Loafers Men June 14th, 2013 | Phillip Yiga Loafers / Slip-ons are typically low cut shoes without laces and most commonly known as a loafer or slippers in American culture. They began as casual shoes, but have increased in popularity to the point of being worn in America with city lounge suits.. A more formal version of Loafer is made with side gussets (sometimes called a dress loafer). Made in the same shape as lace-up Oxfords, but lacking the laces, these shoes have elasticated inserts on the side which allow the shoe to be easily removed but remain snug when worn. This cut has its greatest popularity in Britain. Style inspiration of Men Wearing Loafers: What to Wear with Loafers Men Advertisements Loafers are simple stylish shoes, due to their simplicity, loafers have become so popular. If you want to wear shoes without socks, I suggest you opt for loafers, most of them are slip-ons ‘ so it is very easy to wear them. When it comes to styling loafer shoes for men, you will need to wear them with classy fitting pants, khaki, jeans or shorts. What about wearing loafers with a suit? Well you wouldn’t get away with this look 5 years ago, but according to GQ Magazine it can be considered accpetable now and trends are constantly evolving.

Read the following Buzzle article for 7 great ways to clean your Sperrys. Did You Know? Sperry Top-Sider shoes are more popularly known as deck shoes or boat shoes. The Sperry Top-Sider shoes are one of the most popular brands that are sold in U. S. department stores, as of today. Their unique design with grooves carved into the rubber sole allows a most effective anti-slip grip that prevents slipping over smooth surfaces. The maker of the shoes, Paul Sperry, was inspired into making them after watching his dog glide effortlessly over ice. Upon inspection, Sperry realized that this was due to the grooves that were present on the dog's paws. He then mimicked the design and made the first Top-Siders in 1935. The new design soon became popular for its unique ability, and in 1939, the U. S. Navy bought the rights to manufacture the shoes for its sailors."

He attended Johns Hopkins University initially as an engineering student but later transferred into physics. He received his Ph D degree in physics in 1932 and the following year became a professor of physics at Ursinus College in Collegeville, Pennsylvania. At Ursinus he was well known for his excellent and dynamic teaching, and for his research in meteorology. Because his meteorological work required extensive calculations, he began to experiment with alternatives to mechanical tabulating equipment in an effort to reduce the time required to solve meteorological equations. During the course of that experimentation, he conceived of the idea for an electronic version of tabulating equipment-one that would utilize vacuum tubes. ["

"text": "Explain one study related to localization of function in the brain. Introduction State what you are doing in the essay This essay will attempt to give a detailed account including reasons or causes of localisation of the brain Define Localisation of Function (LOF)LOF is the theory that certain areas of the brain correspond to certain functions; in that specific areas of the brain control different functions carried out by the brain. It refers to the idea that behaviour, emotions and thoughts originate in the brain in specific locations. Therefore, damage to relevant areas of the brain can cause drastic loss of that function and even more, depending on the individual. Therefore it is said that many functions of the brain are strictly “localised.? State/Introduce the parts of the brain The basic set-up of the brain includes:2 main hemispheres: Left – logic, problem solving, maths, and language, controls RHS of body Right – creativity, emotion, beliefs controls RHS of body4 main lobes: Occipital – vision Parietal – higher senses and language functions Frontal – reasoning, problem solving, judgement and creativity Temporal – perception, hearing (sound recognition), memory and meaning. Other important areas of the brain include: Broca’s Area – inability to produce language, but could understand/comprehend. Wernicke’s Area – inability to understand language, but could communicate/speak Introduce research into LOFResearch from the 19th and 20th centuries has guided us towards a much better understanding of how we should carry out such research into the brain, but more specially, how functions of the brain are localized. Possible studies to use for this essay Some studies which appear to support and demonstrate localisation of function are: Broca – Tan (1861)Harlow – Phineas Gage (1849)Raine et al. ( 1997)*Roger Sperry (1968) – If this study is chosen, make sure you explicitly state how it is localisation of function. *"

The decrease in free cholesterol during incubation is accompanied by an approximately equimolar decrease in lecithin. The initial rate of the cholesterol esterification reaction in vitro in the plasma of normal human subjects is about 110 μmoles/l plasma/h. During incubation a large proportion of the fatty acids which become esterified to cholesterol are unsaturated, resembling in distribution the fatty acids of the C-2 position of the plasma lecithin. Esterification is reversibly inhibited by p -hydroxymercuribenzoate. Taken in conjunction with previous results, the present findings support the hypothesis that cholesterol esters are formed in plasma by the action of a fatty acid transferase, that the majority of the transesterified fatty acids originate from teh C-2 position of the plasma lecithin, and that the reaction may be of considerable importance in vivo.

The Adelaide style can be mixed with other styles, but is only used on dress shoes. The only exception to this rule would be when a suede Oxford has an Adelaide style, since suede would cause the shoe to be considered dress/casual. Can be found in the following Shoe Types: Oxford Allen Edmonds - Vernon Algonquin The Algonquine style is defined as: A Split Toe shoe with a vertical toe seam running up the nose of the shoe to the front of an apron. There are two styles of Split Toe; the Algonquin and the Norwegian. The Algonquin typically has a flat seam, whereas the Norwegian has a raised seam. Can be found in the following Shoe Types: Derby/Blucher Oxford Slip On Allen Edmonds - Delray Ankle Boot The Ankle Boot style is defined as: A boot that covers the ankle but goes no higher. Other styles of boots, like the Chelsea and the Chukka, are subsets of ankle boots.

"text": "Experiment Module: What Split Brains Tell Us About Language Communication between the two hemispheres of the brain is made possible by the bundles of axons, or commissures, that connect them. The largest of these bundles, known as the corpus callosum, consists of about 200 million axons running from one hemisphere to the other. In the 1950s, American neuroscientist Roger Sperry and his team discovered that curiously enough, severing the corpus callosum in the brain of a cat or monkey had no notable effects on the animal’s behaviour. Only some special experimental protocols revealed that these animals were actually sometimes behaving as if they had two brains. This absence of major deficits in animals with a severed corpus callosum gave neurosurgeons the idea of performing this operation on certain patients whose frequent, severe epileptic attacks were ruining their lives. In some of these patients, the epileptic focus was located in only one hemisphere, so this operation could successfully prevent the attacks from propagating to the other hemisphere. Having had this operation, these “split-brain” individuals could go back to enjoying their lives; as with the animals in Sperry’s experiments, their day-to-day behaviour was practically unaffected by the separation of their brains into two halves. The renowned American neuropsychologist Michael Gazzaniga, who began his career working with Roger Sperry, has developed several devices for analyzing functional differences between the two hemispheres in split-brain patients. The idea behind these devices is to deliver stimuli in such a way that they reach only one hemisphere, and then to observe how this hemisphere manages to process these stimuli on its own. To study language, Gazzaniga asked his subjects to focus on a point at the centre of a screen."

Perhaps you are a rational, analytical and logical thinker? Maybe a mathematician or an engineer? Then you are most likely left-brained. Who does not know that creativity and emotion are located in the right half of the brain, while rationality and logic are situated in the left half of the brain? Everyone has come across this popular notion of left or right brain dominance, which determines a person’s way of thinking and his/her personality. This notion, however, is a widely held misconception."

Brodribb Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/B978-012088457-5/50006-X Get rights and content Publisher Summary The movement of plants from aquatic to terrestrial habitats in the Ordovician placed new and conflicting demands on the structure and function of photosynthetic organs. Protection against desiccation led to the formation of an epidermis with low permeability to water, while the requirement to facilitate entry of gaseous CO 2 close to photosynthetic tissue favored an increase in epidermal porosity. This dilemma was solved early during the evolution of land plants with the advent of stomata, which, through their ability to regulate epidermal porosity, provided a means by which to optimize the tradeoff between carbon gain and water loss. However, without a reliable water supply to the sites of photosynthesis, stomata remain closed and cells starve. Since their evolution, the stomata and xylem have been inextricably connected in the transpiration pathway. For a given environment and leaf photosynthetic biochemistry, the rates of carbon uptake and transpirational water loss are controlled by stomatal conductance. Thus, for the same environment, higher photosynthetic rates result in higher transpiration rates, and xylem investment represents a major part of the cost of maintaining a transpirational flux while keeping the photosynthetic tissue hydrated. This chapter examines coordination between xylem and stomata, focusing on how the evolution and function of these water-conducting tissues in plants has led to a linkage between living and ostensibly nonliving tissue. The movement of plants from aquatic to terrestrial habitats in the Ordovician placed new and conflicting demands on the structure and function of photosynthetic organs. Protection against desiccation led to the formation of an epidermis with low permeability to water, while the requirement to facilitate entry of gaseous CO 2 close to photosynthetic tissue favored an increase in epidermal porosity."

[ 1] [2] Gall and Spurzheim were the first to observe the crossing of pyramidal tracts, thus explaining why lesions in one hemisphere are manifested in the opposite side of the body. However, Gall and Spurzheim did not attempt to justify phrenology on anatomical grounds. It has been argued that phrenology was fundamentally a science of race. Gall considered the most compelling argument in favor of phrenology the differences in skull shape found in sub-Saharan Africans and the anecdotal evidence (due to scientific travelers and colonists) of their intellectual inferiority and emotional volatility. In Italy, Luigi Rolando carried out lesion experiments and performed electrical stimulation of the brain, including the Rolandic area. Phineas Gage's accident Phineas Gage became one of the first lesion case studies in 1848 when an explosion drove a large iron rod completely through his head, destroying his left frontal lobe."

Did you know that skeletal muscle does more than just move our body parts? This lesson describes how skeletal muscles are used for movement, posture, swallowing, defecation, urination and homeostasis. Skeletal Muscle Functions A sphincter is a muscular organ that surrounds a hollow organ. Our skeletal muscles serve a variety of functions. Through contraction and relaxation, skeletal muscles help to support and move our body. Additionally, skeletal muscles help with nutrition and temperature regulation. For the purposes of this study, skeletal muscle functions will be divided into two general categories - that is, support and movement and homeostasis. In this lesson, we will describe the major functions performed by skeletal muscle."

Learning Objectives Explain the summation interactions of skeletal muscles and how they affect movement Key Takeaways Key Points Muscle contractions can be termed twitch, summation or tetanus. A twitch contraction is the period of contraction and relaxation of a muscle after a single stimulation. Summation is the occurrence of additional twitch contractions before the previous twitch has completely relaxed. Summation can be achieved by increasing the frequency of stimulation, or by recruiting additional muscle fibers within a muscle. Tetanus occurs when the frequency of muscle contraction is such that the maximal force is tension is generated without any relaxation of the muscle. Key Termstetanus: When the frequency of muscle contraction is such that the maximal force is tension is generated without any relaxation of the muscle.summation: The occurrence of additional twitch contractions before the previous twitch has completely relaxed.twitch: The period of contraction and relaxation of a muscle after a single stimulation. Skeletal muscle contractions can be grouped based on the length and frequency of contraction. Twitch When stimulated by a single action potential a muscle contracts and then relaxes. The time between the stimulus and the initiation of contraction is termed the latent period, which is followed by the contraction period."

"text": "Blood Flow Through the Body The heart pumps oxygenated and deoxygenated blood throughout the body in a complex system of arteries, veins, and capillaries. Learning Objectives Explain the blood flow through the body Key Takeaways Key Points As blood is pumped away from the heart, it travels through the aorta to arteries, aterioles, and the capillary beds. Blood flow through the capillary beds reaches almost every cell in the body and is controlled to divert blood according to the body’s needs. After oxygen is removed from the blood, the deoxygenated blood flows to the lungs, where it is reoxygenated and sent through the veins back to the heart. Key Termsarteriole: one of the small branches of an artery, especially one that connects with capillariesvein: a blood vessel that transports blood from the capillaries back to the heartartery: an efferent blood vessel from the heart, conveying blood away from the heart regardless of oxygenation statusvena cava: either of the two large veins that take oxygen depleted blood from the upper body and lower body and return it to the right atrium of the heart How Blood Flows Through the Body As the heart pumps, blood is pushed through the body through the entire circulatory system. Oxygenated blood is pumped away from the heart to the rest of the body, while deoxygenated blood is pumped to the lungs where it is reoxygenated before returning to the heart. Circulatory system: This illustration of the circulatory system shows where blood flows in the body. Red indicates oxygenated blood, while blue indicates deoxygenated blood. Blood Flow Away from the Heart With each rhythmic pump of the heart, blood is pushed under high pressure and velocity away from the heart, initially along the main artery, the aorta. In the aorta, the blood travels at 30 cm/sec."

Components of the Urinary System Kidneys (produce urine, a fluid made of water, ions, soluble compounds); Ureters; Urinary bladder; Urethra. Structural Features of the Kidneys The kidneys are located on either side of the vertebral column between the last thoracic & third lumbar vertebrae. The right kidney often sits slightly lower than the left, & both lie between the muscles of the dorsal body wall & the peritoneal lining. This position is called retroperitoneal (retro-, behind) because the organs are behind the peritoneum."

Within the wall of the urethra, the highly specialized urethra glands coat the urethral canal with a constant secretion of mucous. The urethra is encompassed by two separate urethral sphincter muscles. The internal urethral sphincter muscle is created by involuntary smooth muscles while the lower voluntary muscles create the external sphincter muscles. The internal sphincter is created by the detrusor muscle. In the female body, the urethra is approximately 4 centimeters long and leads out of the body via urethral orifice. In the female body, the urethral orifice is located in the vestibule in the labia minora."

Ependymomas can form in any of the ventricles in the brain or spinal cord, but most ependymomas arise in the fourth ventricle and affect the cerebellum and the brain stem. Ependymomas account for 5 to 10 percent of pediatric brain tumors and occur equally in boys and girls. These types of tumors are the third most common brain tumor in children. Though ependymomas rarely occur in the spinal cord, they do account for about 25 percent of all spinal cord tumors. Most patients with tumors of the spinal cord are older than 12.

"text": "Tumors, also called neoplasms, are abnormal masses of tissue created by uncontrolled cell division which serve no physiological purpose. A tumor may be either benign or malignant. Benign tumors are self-contained, non-lethal, and grow more slowly than malignant ones. Malignant tumors are cancerous growths which expand quickly and can metastasize, or spread to other areas of the body. Malignant tumors grow by invading nearby cells and spread to other parts of the body through a process called metastasis. Cells break off the tumor, enter the bloodstream or lymphatic system, and spread to another area, infecting additional tissue. This is how a tumor which starts in one part of the body, such as the breast or prostate, can spread to another type of tissue, such as the bones. If a suspicious tumor is present, it is common for a doctor to do a biopsy, or to cut off a small sample of the tumor, which is then examined under a microscope. The cells in malignant tumors are different the normal cells in a number of ways. Normal cells are uniform in shape with a nucleus containing chromatin and a nucleolus which contains RNA and DNA."

The tumor can either originate in the brain itself, or come from another part of the body and travel to the brain (metastasize). Brain tumors may be classified as either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), depending on their behavior. A benign tumor does not contain cancer cells and usually, once removed, does not recur. Most benign brain tumors have clear borders, meaning they do not invade surrounding tissue. These tumors can, however, cause symptoms similar to cancerous tumors because of their size and location in the brain. Malignant brain tumors contain cancer cells. Malignant brain tumors are usually fast growing and invade surrounding tissue. Malignant brain tumors very rarely spread to other areas of the body, but may recur after treatment."

The brain is surrounded by the cranium, and the spinal cord is protected by the vertebrae. The brain is continuous with the spinal cord at the foramen magnum. In addition to bone, the CNS is surrounded by connective tissue membranes, called meninges, and by cerebrospinal fluid. Meninges There are three layers of meninges around the brain and spinal cord. The outer layer, the dura mater, is tough white fibrous connective tissue. The middle layer of meninges is arachnoid, which resembles a cobweb in appearance, is a thin layer with numerous threadlike strands that attach it to the innermost layer. The space under the arachnoid, the subarachnoid space, is filled with cerebrospinal fluid and contains blood vessels. The pia mater is the innermost layer of meninges.

"text": "What is a Dysembryplastic Neuroepithelial Tumor (DNT)? Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors (DNTs) are a group of tumors occurs in the tissues that cover the brain and spinal cord. They occur in the cerebrum, the part of the brain that controls thought, movement and sensation. If your child has been experiencing seizures that don’t respond to medication, a possible cause may be a dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNT). This is a rare, benign type of tumor that occurs in the tissues that cover the brain and spinal cord. A DNT usually begins in children and teenagers who are 20 years old or younger. The outlook for a child with DNT is generally good. Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNT) treatment at Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Children with dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNT) are treated at Dana-Farber/Boston Children's through the Brain Tumor Center, a world-renowned destination for children with malignant and non-malignant brain and spinal cord tumors.

They are designed for health professionals to use. You may find one of our health articles more useful. In this article Introduction Presentation Investigations Differential diagnosis Management Drugs Surgery Complications Prognosis Prevention Historically, descriptions of individuals thought now to have neurofibromatosis (NF) have been found in manuscripts dating back to 1000 AD. Von Recklinghausen coined the term 'neurofibroma' in 1881 to describe a benign tumour arising from the peripheral nerve sheath. Consequently, type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF1) is also known as Von Recklinghausen's disease. Introduction NF is a genetic disorder causing lesions in the skin, nervous system and skeleton. The neurofibromatoses are autosomal dominant genetic disorders that encompass the rare diseases NF1, NF2, and schwannomatosis: [ 1]Type 1 is the more common form and caused by a defect in the gene, NF1, situated at chromosome 17q11.2: [ 2]Neurofibromin, the gene product, is a ubiquitous nervous system protein and is believed to act as a tumour suppressor. Loss of neurofibromin leads to an increased risk of developing benign and malignant tumours but effects of a mutation are highly variable between sufferers and can appear at any age due to a variety of mutations, differing penetration and mosaicism. Watson's syndrome is the only subtype of NF1 to have a uniform phenotype in families and is characterised by pulmonary stenosis, cognitive impairment, café-au-lait patches and few cutaneous neurofibromas."

Gliosarcoma is a malignant cancer, and is defined as a glioblastoma consisting of gliomatous and sarcomatous components. [ 1]It is estimated that approximately 2.1% of all glioblastomas are gliosarcomas. Although most gliomas rarely show metastases outside the cerebrum, gliosarcomas have a propensity to do so, most commonly spreading through the blood to the lungs, and also liver and lymph nodes.

Clinical symptoms of patients with intraventricular-tumors are non-specific and are generally related to increased intracranial pressure or hydrocephalus.

Previous article Next article Keywords CT MR Brain MR spectroscopy Brain tumor Intraventricular tumor1. Supratentorial intraventricular tumors Ependymomas are common slow-growing WHO grade II neoplasms that arise from differentiated ependymal cells lining the cerebral ventricles and the central canal. Most supratentorial ependymomas are extraventricular developing from embryonic rests of ependymal tissue. They occur both in children and adults with no gender predilection. Ependymoma is the third most common brain tumor in children, after pilocytic astrocytoma and medulloblastoma. Intraventricular supratentorial ependymomas are less common and are often accompanied by large cysts. On nonenhanced CT images, ependymomas are usually isodense or mildly hyperdense, with calcifications in 50% of lesions, and hemorrhage in approximately 10%."

"text": "Spinal Tumors A spinal tumor is an abnormal mass of tissue within or surrounding the spinal cord and/or spinal column. These cells grow and multiply uncontrollably, seemingly unchecked by the mechanisms that control normal cells. Spinal tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Primary tumors originate in the spine or spinal cord, and metastatic or secondary tumors result from cancer spreading from another site to the spine. Spinal tumors may be referred to by the region of the spine in which they occur. These basic areas are cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacrum. Additionally, they also are classified by their location in the spine into three major groups: intradural-extramedullary, intramedullary and extradural. Intradural-extramedullary The most common of these types of tumors develop in the spinal cord's arachnoid membrane (meningiomas), in the nerve roots that extend out from the spinal cord ( schwannomas and neurofibromas) or at the spinal cord base ( filum terminale ependymomas ). Although meningiomas are often benign, they can be difficult to remove and may recur. Nerve root tumors are also generally benign, although neurofibromas may become malignant over time."

Scoliosis may result from various structural causes, although the most common form of scoliosis is called idiopathic scoliosis, which has no known cause. Scoliosis may also occur with congenital malformations of the spine or may be due to spinal degeneration. Scoliosis can occur in the mediolateral or in the anteroposterior direction. In the mediolateral direction, the curvature is rightward or leftward and is named according to the direction of the convexity of the curve. In the anteroposterior direction, the curvature is referred to as kyphosis (increased posterior convexity of the spine) or lordosis (increased posterior concavity of the spine). Most scoliosis also has a rotational component. Conventional radiographs ( x-rays) are an excellent means for assessing scoliosis. Examinations at HSS are performed utilizing one long continuous image of the entire spine, usually obtained with the patient standing. Utilizing this technique, the angles of the spinal curvature can be measured and the grade of the deformity can be determined."

Donate to the Champ Fund and help cure canine cancer. Description Spinal cord neoplasms can be classified into extradural (outside the dura [outermost of the 3 layers of the meninges occupying the brain and the spinal cord] involving the epidural space), intradural-extramedullary (inside the dural space), and intramedullary (involving the parenchyma of the spinal cord) based on their anatomical locations. Extradural, intradural-extramedullary and intramedullary lesions account for 50%, 30% and 15% respectively. Normally, spinal cord neoplasms do not originate from the spinal cord. But there are exceptions like meningiomas, astrocytomas, osteosarcomas and lymphomas. Among the primary tumors, meningiomas occur most frequently. They usually originate from the cervical spinal cord (It helps in the movement of neck, upper trunk and arms and provides sensation to these body parts). The most common primary extradural tumors reported in dogs include malignant bone tumors like osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, hemangiosarcoma, hemangioendothelioma and myeloma and also tumors which metastasize to bones and soft tissues."

Asked 15 Nov 2012 by sara12345Updated 29 Sep 2017Topics migraine, pain, sedation, colonoscopy, endoscopy, spinal tap Especially interested in anyone who wasn't sedated. I've been awake for my endoscopy and colonoscopy with sedation which everyone else doesn't remember. I'm scheduled for one and am told that I will be given some mild sedation. But I'm a bit nervous, especially since I'll probably be awake for it. Wondering how much pain before and after have you experienced? Thanks for any feedback. If I understood the doctor properly, it is to determine whether my spine is leaking, which changes the pressure in my head and then causes my migraines to get worse with the slightest physical exertion. For example, when I've got a really bad migraine, just getting up out of bed for 15 minutes makes it worse. And the rest of the time, even walking around the house to do watering makes it worse."

"text": "Overview Lumbar puncture (spinal tap)Lumbar puncture (spinal tap) is performed in your lower back, in the lumbar region. During lumbar puncture, a needle is inserted between two lumbar bones (vertebrae) to remove a sample of cerebrospinal fluid — the fluid that surrounds your brain and spinal cord to protect them from injury. A lumbar puncture can help diagnose serious infections, such as meningitis; other disorders of the central nervous system, such as Guillain-Barre syndrome and multiple sclerosis; or cancers of the brain or spinal cord. Sometimes doctors use lumbar puncture to inject anesthetic medications or chemotherapy drugs into the cerebrospinal fluid. Why it's done Lumbar puncture may be done to: Collect cerebrospinal fluid for laboratory analysis Measure the pressure of your cerebrospinal fluid Inject spinal anesthetics, chemotherapy drugs or other medications Inject dye (myelography) or radioactive substances (cisternography) into cerebrospinal fluid to make diagnostic images of the fluid's flow Information gathered from a lumbar puncture can help diagnose: Serious bacterial, fungal and viral infections, including meningitis, encephalitis and syphilis Bleeding around the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage)Certain cancers involving the brain or spinal cord Certain inflammatory conditions of the nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis and Guillain-Barre syndrome Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic Risks Though lumbar puncture is generally recognized as safe, it does carry some risks. These include: Post-lumbar puncture headache. Up to 25 percent of people who have undergone a lumbar puncture develop a headache afterward due to a leak of fluid into nearby tissues. The headache typically starts several hours up to two days after the procedure and may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting and dizziness. The headaches are usually present when sitting or standing and resolve after lying down. Post-lumbar puncture headaches can last from a few hours to a week or more."

"text": "Home Info Center Body & Health Conditions Nervous System Disorders and Diseases Why is lumbar puncture performed Post a commentover a year ago What is Lumbar Puncture? A lumbar puncture also known under the name spinal tap is a powerful diagnostic and therapeutic tool. It allows doctors to collect samples of cerebrospinal fluid which are then sent for biochemical, microbiological and cytological analysis. Also, by removing the excess of such fluid doctors can successfully reduce increased intracranial pressure. Cerebrospinal fluid is under normal circumstances a colorless fluid. It circulates around the brain (and goes through brain ventricles) and the spinal cord nourishing these organs and cushioning them. In case of brain or spinal cord infections or other medical conditions the components of cerebrospinal fluid change or its regular components increase in the amount. Such changes are sufficient enough to help doctors diagnose the underlying problem. Why is Lumbar Puncture Performed? In the majority of cases a lumbar puncture is performed to confirm or rule out meningitis, inflammation of the brain's membranes."

Spinal tap is also referred to as a lumbar puncture, or LP. Some of the reasons your doctor may want to do a spinal tap include the following: To look for infection (bacteria can be found in the spinal fluid)To check to see if there is bleeding around the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage; small amounts of blood will be found in the fluid)To look for causes of unexplained seizures To look for causes of headaches To evaluate for uncommon diagnoses such as multiple sclerosis, Lyme disease, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and several others. To administer certain types of chemotherapeutics medications in the treatment of some cancers Cerebrospinal fluid is a liquid that bathes the brain and spinal cord. An adult has about 140 m L (just under 5 oz) of spinal fluid. Typically, an adult makes 30-100 m L of spinal fluid daily. A spinal tap can be performed in any person and at any age. Spinal Tap Risks The spinal cord ends at the level of the first or second lumbar vertebrae, and the needle is usually inserted at a level between the third and fourth or the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae, keeping the spinal cord completely out of danger. Although very infrequent, several complications can occur as a result of a spinal tap. Headache A few people get what is commonly referred to as post-lumbar puncture headache."

Fragmin (dalteparin) is an anticoagulant that helps prevent the formation of blood clots. Fragmin is used together with aspirin to prevent blood vessel complications in people with certain types of angina (chest pain) or heart attack. Fragmin is also used to prevent a type of blood clot called deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which can lead to blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). A DVT can occur after certain types of surgery, or in people who are bed-ridden due to a prolonged illness. Fragmin is also used long-term to treat a type of blood clot called venous thromboembolism (VTE) in people with cancer. Fragmin may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide. Slideshow Misdiagnosis: Righting The Wrong Important information You should not use this medicine if you have active bleeding, or a low level of platelets in your blood after testing positive for a certain antibody while using Fragmin. Fragmin can cause a very serious blood clot around your spinal cord if you undergo a spinal tap or receive spinal anesthesia (epidural), especially if you have a genetic spinal defect, a history of spinal surgery or repeated spinal taps, or if you are using other drugs that can affect blood clotting, including blood thinners or NSAIDs (ibuprofen, Advil, Aleve, and others). This type of blood clot can lead to long-term or permanent paralysis."

My doctor sliced open the lining of my spinal cord, resulting in 3 more operations to stop my spinal fluid from leaking out. He told me that it was an \"\"incidental tear\"\" (not his fault, of course) and that it happens all the time - very common, according to him. The leaks have been repaired, thanks to a different surgeon, but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Thanks!! PS - I'm proof that you can't go into back surgery thinking that you'll be relieved of pain afterwards - my pain is no better than it was before Edward Scissorhands cut me up!

"text": "\"Home > Health Library Low CSF Headache<< Back to Nervous System Disorders What is Low CSF Pressure Headache? Low CSF Pressure Headache is caused by an internal spinal fluid leak and may range from obvious and disabling to subtle and nagging. The brain normally sits inside a “bag” filled with spinal fluid which extends down from the skull into the spine. The “bag” consists of membranes called the meninges (as in meningitis). The fluid helps to circulate waste products out of the brain and provides cushioning and support. When the pressure of this fluid is too low – typically when there is a small leak somewhere in the meninges – the brain may “sag” downward when the patient is upright, stretching the meninges and nerves lining the brain and causing pain. What are the symptoms of low pressure headaches? What causes low pressure headaches? How are low pressure headaches diagnosed? How are low pressure headaches treated?"

"text": "Overview Lumbar puncture (spinal tap)Lumbar puncture (spinal tap) is performed in your lower back, in the lumbar region. During lumbar puncture, a needle is inserted between two lumbar bones (vertebrae) to remove a sample of cerebrospinal fluid — the fluid that surrounds your brain and spinal cord to protect them from injury. A lumbar puncture can help diagnose serious infections, such as meningitis; other disorders of the central nervous system, such as Guillain-Barre syndrome and multiple sclerosis; or cancers of the brain or spinal cord. Sometimes doctors use lumbar puncture to inject anesthetic medications or chemotherapy drugs into the cerebrospinal fluid. Why it's done Lumbar puncture may be done to: Collect cerebrospinal fluid for laboratory analysis Measure the pressure of your cerebrospinal fluid Inject spinal anesthetics, chemotherapy drugs or other medications Inject dye (myelography) or radioactive substances (cisternography) into cerebrospinal fluid to make diagnostic images of the fluid's flow Information gathered from a lumbar puncture can help diagnose: Serious bacterial, fungal and viral infections, including meningitis, encephalitis and syphilis Bleeding around the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage)Certain cancers involving the brain or spinal cord Certain inflammatory conditions of the nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis and Guillain-Barre syndrome Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic Risks Though lumbar puncture is generally recognized as safe, it does carry some risks. These include: Post-lumbar puncture headache. Up to 25 percent of people who have undergone a lumbar puncture develop a headache afterward due to a leak of fluid into nearby tissues. The headache typically starts several hours up to two days after the procedure and may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting and dizziness. The headaches are usually present when sitting or standing and resolve after lying down. Post-lumbar puncture headaches can last from a few hours to a week or more."

Neurons and glia The basic structural and functional unit of the nervous system is the nerve cell or NEURON. It is important to come to grips with the neuron and the terminology relating to its parts now, otherwise much of the material on organization of the nervous system will not make sense to you. Here is a schematic drawing of a typical nerve cell All neurons have a cell body (or SOMA) which contains cellular organelles which are typical of most of the cells in the body, including a nucleus, a nucleolus, lots of rough endoplasmic reticulum, and so on. Most nerve cells have processes called DENDRITES, which act like antennae for the cell, in that they receive input to the cell. Most neurons also have a single long process called an AXON, which is capable of transmitting a pulse of electricity (NERVE IMPULSE or ACTION POTENTIAL) from the cell body to some distant target in the brain or the periphery. These axons may be quite long (up to a meter or more in the case of a nerve cell whose some sits in the spinal cord and has an axon which contacts a muscle in the foot). Axons usually break up into smaller branches (terminal branches) near their target. These terminal branches end in swellings which make a specialized contact with the target cell. If the target cell is another neuron, the swelling is called a BOUTON, and the specialized contact is called a SYNAPSE. If the target is a muscle fiber, the bouton is often called a MOTOR ENDPLATE and the synapse is often referred to as a NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION."

A reflex is built into the nervous system and does not need the intervention of conscious thought to take effect. The knee jerk is an example of the simplest type of reflex. When the knee is tapped, the nerve thatreceives this stimulus sends an impulse to the spinal cord, where it is relayed to a motor nerve. Thiscauses the quadriceps muscle at the front of the thigh to contract and jerk the leg up. This reflex, or simple reflex arc, involves only two nerves and one synapse. The leg begins to jerk up while thebrain is just becoming aware of the tap. Other simple reflexes, the stretch reflexes, help the body maintain its balance. Every time a muscle is stretched, it reacts with a reflex impulse to contract. As a person reaches or leans, the skeletalmuscles tense and tighten, tending to hold him and keep him from falling."

"text": "Hand splints are metal or plastic devices that are designed to securely hold the hand, wrist, or fingers in a position that will help facilitate the healing process. A hand splint may be utilized in the event of an injury or when some type of medical condition threatens to impair the function of the hand. Different types of hand splints are used, depending on the kind of health issue the patient is currently experiencing. Sometimes referred to as a hand brace or wrist brace, a hand splint is often employed as a means of preventing further damage to the hand while healing is taking place. At the same time, the particular design of the splint may also help keep the fingers straight or provide support to the thumb so that the patient can still make use of the hand during the healing process. The particular type of splint employed will depend on a number of factors, particularly severity of the health problem or injury. Ad One of the more common examples of the splint is known as the resting hand splint. Essentially, this device helps to keep the hand in an open position. Hand braces of this type help to keep the palm flat and the fingers extended and open. The splint also prevents the thumb form curling into the palm."

Thermoplastic splints differ from traditional plaster casts in that they are lighter, easily molded to fit the body of the individual patient and can be removed for cleaning and patient bathing. A thermoplastic splint can also be used to stabilize an injury prior to surgery as well as to provide fast immobilization to areas of trauma in emergency rooms. The two basic types of thermoplastic splints are made from low temperature thermoplastic materials and high temperature thermoplastic materials. Low temperature thermoplastic splints can be softened in hot water and placed directly on the skin and are most appropriate for upper limb fractures or injuries. High temperature thermoplastic splints are made from a cast and require higher temperatures and a longer curing time to harden. These splints are better suited for lower limb or back injuries that generally require a longer healing period.

"text": "\"Copyright © 2011 Model Systems Knowledge Translation Center (MSKTC). Based on research by Burn Injury Model Systems Burn survivors can become frustrated that they still have issues with scarring and wounds after their initial burn injury has healed. Hypertrophic burn scars (scars in the area of the original burn that are raised) are the most common complication of a burn injury and can limit a survivor's ability to function as well as affect their body image. It is difficult to predict who will develop scarring. Research shows that less severe burns (also called superficial partial thickness burns) that heal in less than 10 days generally have no scarring. More severe burns (also called deep partial thickness burns) heal in 14 to 21 days and put you at a risk of scarring. Burns that take more than 21 days to heal (also called full thickness burns) and burns that require skin grafting are at high risk for scarring. Why do scars form? Scarring is related to age, ethnic origin, and the severity, depth and location of the burn. Scars form when the dermal or lower layer of the skin has been damaged, as in the case of a burn."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Positive airway pressure CPAP therapy: flow generator, hose, full face mask [ edit on Wikidata]Positive airway pressure ( PAP) is a mode of respiratory ventilation used in the treatment of sleep apnea. PAP ventilation is also commonly used for those who are critically ill in hospital with respiratory failure, in newborn infants ( neonates ), and for the prevention and treatment of atelectasis in patients with difficulty taking deep breaths. In these patients, PAP ventilation can prevent the need for tracheal intubation, or allow earlier extubation. Sometimes patients with neuromuscular diseases use this variety of ventilation as well. CPAP is an acronym for \"\" continuous positive airway pressure \"\", which was developed by Dr. George Gregory and colleagues in the neonatal intensive care unit at the University of California, San Francisco. [ 1] A variation of the PAP system was developed by Professor Colin Sullivan at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney, Australia, in 1981.

The dual settings allow the patient to get more air in and out of their lungs. Medical uses [ edit]A typical CPAP machine houses the air pump in a case lined with sound-absorbing material for quieter operation. A hose carries the pressurized air to a face mask or nasal pillow."

"text": "\"Print Email Facebook Twitter Diseases & Conditions Arthritis of the Hand The hand and wrist have multiple small joints that work together to produce motion, including the fine motion needed to thread a needle or tie a shoelace. When the joints are affected by arthritis, activities of daily living can be difficult. Arthritis can occur in many areas of the hand and wrist and can have more than one cause. Over time, if the arthritis is not treated, the bones that make up the joint can lose their normal shape. This causes more pain and further limits motion. Description Simply defined, arthritis is inflammation of one or more of your joints. The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, but there are more than 100 different forms. Healthy joints move easily because of a smooth, slippery tissue called articular cartilage. Cartilage covers the ends of bones and provides a smooth gliding surface for the joint. This smooth surface is lubricated by a fluid that looks and feels like oil."

It's a painful, but fairly common sports injury. If you reach, grab, pull, or push while playing your sport, a dislocated finger is always a possibility. Clive Brunskill / Getty Images In most cases, no one will have to tell you what has happened. The dislocation is visually obvious and requires immediate medical care. Don’t try to fix it yourself or let a friend move it back into place. How a Dislocated Fingers Happen A dislocated finger occurs when the bones of a finger are moved out of their normal position because of the impact of the fingers against an object, person, ball, or piece of equipment. There are three joints in each finger (not counting the thumb). The middle joint is the one most frequently injured in athletes. Typical scenarios are a basketball player reaching for a ball, a volleyball player trying to deflect a smash or a football player grabbing his opponent, getting his finger caught in a piece of equipment, or deflecting a quarterback’s pass at close range."

"text": "How to: Beans, Split Peas and Lentilsposted in Food, Vegetables and Beans by Kathy Maisterprevious | next Beans, split peas and lentils (often referred to as “pulses”) are the edible seeds of legume plants. They are a great low-fat source of protein and are high in fiber. This post covers how to cook dried and canned pulses, and provides links to some great recipes. Some beans go by several different names. For example the cannellini bean is also known as a white kidney bean and roman beans are also called cranberry beans, borlotti beans, shell beans, or Christmas beans. Many popular beans, like black beans, cannellini beans, red beans and chick peas can be bought in cans already cooked. The way that you cook dried beans is very different from the way you cook split peas and lentils – it’s all about soaking. Split peas and lentils do not require soaking. They take a short amount of time to cook (about 20 minutes to 1 hour depending on the recipe). Dried beans on the other hand, do require soaking for at least 4 hours. ("

"text": "\"Glycemic Index The glycemic index measures how fast a food is likely to raise your blood sugar. This can be helpful. For example, if your blood sugar is low and continuing to drop during exercise, you would prefer to eat a carb that will raise your blood sugar quickly. On the other hand, if you would like to keep your blood sugar from dropping during a few hours of mild activity, you may prefer to eat a carb that has a lower glycemic index and longer action time. If your blood sugar tends to spike after breakfast, you may want to select a cereal that has a lower glycemic index. The numbers below give that food's glycemic index based on glucose, which is one of the fastest carbohydrates available. Glucose is given an arbitrary value of 100 and other carbs are given a number relative to glucose. Faster carbs (higher numbers) are great for raising low blood sugars and for covering brief periods of intense exercise. Slower carbs (lower numbers) are helpful for preventing overnight drops in the blood sugar and for long periods of exercise. Note that these numbers are compiled from a wide range of research labs, and often from more than one study."

"text": "Carbohydrates, which form a major part of our daily diet, are divided into two main groups -Simple Carbohydrates Complex Carbohydrates Simple carbohydrates are made up of small molecules of sugar, and are found in fruits, milk and milk products, maple syrup, honey, molasses, table sugar, etc. These are easily digested by the body and provide instant energy, thus affecting one's sugar levels. Complex carbohydrates, are made up of long, complex chains of sugar, and are, therefore, not digested quickly. This maintains the blood sugar levels and provides long-lasting energy. Complex carbs consist of dietary fiber and starch. Plants store energy in the form of starch, which is made up with a chain of glucose molecules. Primarily, gastric amylase is the enzyme involved in the process of digesting the starch obtained from vegetables. Digested starch is stored by animal cells in the form of glycogen, which is then used by the body for carrying out various activities. Starch is mainly found in cereals, grains, vegetables, beans, lentils, nuts, and seeds. Following is a list of starchy veggies."

"text": "\"List of Legumes By Beth Asaff Cook When you eat a vegetarian diet, certain nutrients, such as calcium, vitamin B-12, iron, zinc and protein, may be missing from your meals. Substituting legumes for meat intake can help greatly. Mature legume pods contain 20% protein, and unlike animal-derived protein, the protein found in legumes contains no cholesterol and is low in fat. Compared to grains, legumes contain about twice as much protein, and they are a good source of iron, folate, potassium, magnesium and B vitamins as well. Types of Legumes The legume is a wonderful ingredient for any vegetarian meal. From meatless patties to soups, salads, noodles and chips, you can easily incorporate legumes into your diet in fun and delicious ways. Part of the reason legumes are so versatile is that they come in so many varieties. Asparagus Beans Asparagus beans grow in a long, light green pod, but the seeds, or beans, inside are actually dark brown. You can eat the entire pod, and many people frequently steam or boil it first. Because the pod is so long, braid together the pods or tie them into knots before you cook them."

"text": "\"How to Soak and Cook Beans and Legumes Difficulty level: Easy Beans and legumes are an excellent source of vegetarian protein and a staple of many vegetarian diets. The drawback is that they take a long time to cook, but once you know the techniques, you’ll find it’s not difficult at all. Most of the time they are just soaking or boiling on their own; your actual \"\"hands on\"\" time is only about 10 minutes. Washing Beans and Legumes Before using beans and legumes, rinse them thoroughly under cool water, then sort through them for any stones or other debris. If using lentils, mung beans, or split peas, skip the soaking section and go right to the cooking instructions. If using anything other kind of beans, continue to the next step: soaking. Soaking Beans and Legumes All dry beans and legumes except lentils, mung beans, and split peas should be soaked before cooking. Soaking shortens the cooking time and makes the beans more digestible. To soak, cover the washed beans with four times their volume of water (no salt yet), then choose one of these soaking techniques. Normal soak: Leave the beans to soak for at least 8-10 hours (larger beans need more time)."

"text": "\"How Much Protein Do You Need? Find Portion Sizes and Grams0By Lisa Ronco Diet and Nutrition Protein is a vital macronutrient that plays several roles in the body. Not only does protein transport nutrients in the bloodstream and assist in promoting blood clotting, but it also aids in fluid, electrolyte and p H balance. All of the three macronutrients, which consist of protein, carbohydrates and fats, play crucial roles in the body. Protein also has other important roles too. These include the growth and maintenance of lean muscles, bones, nails and the very important muscles of the heart. Athletes, especially those participating in high intensity, weight-bearing sports such as running, are constantly breaking down muscle tissue and consuming protein assists in rebuilding those muscles. There is no denying that protein is crucial to one’s diet, however, there are some misconceptions especially around health conscience and physically active people about what exactly protein’s function is in the body, how much is necessary and what is the best way to incorporate it into a healthy diet. Why is Protein So Important? The human body requires protein to serve as the building blocks for new tissues and to replace worn out cells."

"text": "\"Introduction What distinguishes beans from other plants? Beans have pods with seeds inside them. Aside from beans this includes peas, lentils and some people even include the peanut in this category. All legumes are able to take large amounts of nitrogen from the air and convert it to protein in the seeds. They also return large amounts of nitrogen to the ground and because of this the green plants are sometimes plowed under; as an organic fertilizer. Right along with the early grains, legumes were among the first crops cultivated and date back to the Bronze Age. Beans have been discovered in the tombs of the Pharaohs and Aztecs. The ancient Egyptians considered beans to be an emblem of life and had temples dedicated to them. Later, the Greeks and Romans used them in festivals to worship their gods. The Roman's four most distinguished families were named after beans; Fabius (fava bean), Lentulus (lentil), Piso (pea), and Cicero (chickpea)."

What I keep looking for is food low in saturated fat, without any transfats, and packed with nutritious carbohydrates. Chana dal, which is shown here, looks just like yellow split peas but is quite different. The problem is that many foods high in carbohydrates send our blood sugar levels skyrocketing. But when I found the food of my dreams a couple of years ago, I ignored it because I had no idea what it was. This food—chana dal—is practically unknown in the West, but is becoming available here too. Chana dal is a bean that comes from India, where they appreciate it very much. My interest in chana dal began when I started gathering information for my Web page about the glycemic index, which ranks foods on how they effect our blood sugar levels. This index measures how much your blood sugar increases in the two or three hours after eating. The glycemic index is about foods high in carbohydrates."

Beans can refer generally to the seeds of plants in the family Fabaceae, the legumes, or to more specific varieties. Fabacea includes all the seeds that are called beans, peas, as well as lentils, peanuts and a wide array of plants that aren't used for food. Peas usually refer to the seeds from a the particular species Pisum sativum. If you're using the term 'bean' broadly, you can call peas a type of bean. Or 'bean' is sometimes used to refer only to the specific new world genus of Phaseolus. Phaseolus includes many of the commonly grown and eaten beans such as lima beans, black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, and many others. A number of other old world Fabiceae are called beans or peas including fava beans, black eyed peas, cow peas, mung beans, chickpeas, and soy beans occupying different genera. A pea is generally round and green while other beans are kidney shape and range is size and color depending on the variety: anywhere from tiny white navy beans to big fat red and green calico butter beans."

In part, that's because there are more than 18,000 species of legume plants, growing on every continent save Antarctica, a vast number of which yield the edible seeds we know as pulses and beans. \"\" Seeds are our most durable and concentrated foods,\"\" Harold Mc Gee writes in On Food and Cooking. \"\" In fact,\"\" he adds, \"\"seeds gave early humans both the nourishment and the inspiration to begin to shape the natural world to their own needs...ten thousand turbulent years of civilization have unfolded from the seed's pale repose.\"\" And we don't just thrive on beans ourselves—we use them to feed our livestock, and even to fuel our machines. In many ways, beans make our world go 'round. Much of the popularity and proliferation of legumes is due to their ease of growth (legumes are self-pollinating) and tolerance to drought, which keep prices steady and low. Add their widely touted health benefits, a nitrogen-fixing growth cycle, and capacity for long-term storage, and you have something of a superfood. With their diverse range of flavors and applications, it's no surprise that beans have become cooking staples in almost every cuisine in the world. And yet, for many of us, beans and pulses remain something of a puzzle."

They also do not need to be rehydrated overnight. Since they have been split, they can absorb water faster than whole beans and peas. This means that the peas will break apart while cooking, leaving a thickened soup. When you have finished cooking green split peas, you can use them in one of the most common recipes for them--split pea soup (see Resources). Things You'll Need1 c. green split peas3 c. water Salt and pepper to taste2 qt. pot Step 1Examine the peas and remove any stones that might have gotten caught in the batch.

Cholesterol and saturated fat can raise your blood cholesterol and make heart disease worse. Chicken and fish have less saturated fat than most red meat. The unsaturated fats in fish, such as salmon, actually have health benefits. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish and some plant sources, may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

These cute little dried legumes are both healthy and delicious, but it's worth knowing their varieties and differences. Read on to find out more. The Difference Between Split Peas and Lentils While both are legumes, split peas and lentils come from different varieties of legumes. Split peas are a type of field pea, which is a pea grown specifically for drying, while lentils are their own type of legume, harvested as the seed of the plant and dried. Green Split Peas (Image credit: Christine Gallary)Split Peas Split peas are field peas, which are a variety of yellow or green peas grown specifically for drying. When these peas are hulled and then split in half along the natural seam, they become split peas, which encourages faster cooking and eliminates the need to presoak. Split peas can be stored in an airtight container for up to one year. Split peas are high in protein and fiber, and low in fat."

Healthy foods that contain vitamin A include: organic beef liver, cod liver oil, organic eggs, and organic butter. Vitamin A can also be obtained from beta carotene, which is found in a variety of plants, including spinach, watercress, carrots, sweet potatoes, goji berries, and cantaloupe. Vitamin B1 - Thiamine Vitamin B1 is needed for proper brain function (especially memory) and energy production. Healthy foods that contain vitamin B1 include: lentils, peas, brown rice, spinach, watercress, asparagus, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, raw pecans, and raw brazil nuts. Vitamin B2 – Riboflavin Vitamin B2 is needed for healthy skin, healthy hair, healthy eyes, and energy production."

"text": "Home Food & Drink Recipes Lentils (Dals), Pulses and Beans Used in Indian Cooking Food & Drink Recipes Lentils (Dals), Pulses and Beans Used in Indian Cooking Dried legumes and their edible seeds, known as pulses, are classified into three groups – lentils, beans and peas. Legumes and Pulses are a natural source of protein, high in fibre and low in fat. They have a wide range of flavours and textures and form a large part of the Indian daily diet. They are eaten either whole (with the skin still intact) or split in half (with or without their skins). The term “dal”or “daal” refers to a bean or lentil which has had the outer husk removed and the remaining lentil is then split. This ensures a quicker cooking time and a softer, creamier texture when cooked. The Importance of Lentils and Pulses in Indian Cooking Dal or lentils is the staple food in every Indian home. Both the rich and the common person who lives on the street enjoy it. It is what chicken soup is to the west – it is India’s comfort food. A large percentage of Indians are vegetarian and lentils have long been part of the indigenous diet as a common source of protein."

"text": "\"Special Diets Low-glycemic Superfoods By Gary Gilles Updated March 03, 2017Share Pin Email Print John Carey/Photolibrary/Getty Images Low-glycemic foods contain less sugar (either natural occurring sugar or when added through processing) and therefore will not raise your blood glucose as much as other foods that have a greater amount of sugar in them. There has been a lot of research on the benefits of eating low-glycemic foods, especially for those with diabetes. When low-glycemic foods are incorporated into your regular meal plan, it has been shown to even out many of the large and rapid blood glucose spikes that many with type 1 diabetes experience. Even mixing in a few low-glycemic foods into your current meal plan may help you to better manage your blood glucose levels. The Glycemic Index The research on glycemic foods has resulted in a glycemic index that ranks foods according to their glycemic impact, or how they affect blood sugar levels. The index specifically focuses on carbohydrates and ranks them on a scale from 0 to 100. Foods that are higher on the glycemic index are absorbed more quickly by your digestive tract and therefore cause a faster and greater rise in your blood sugar. Here’s the generally accepted standard for identifying the glycemic ranking of foods: Low glycemic foods have a ranking of 55 or less Medium glycemic foods have a ranking of 56 to 69High glycemic foods have a ranking of 70 or higher So, when using the glycemic index, you want to choose foods in the low glycemic category that have a ranking of less than 55. Glycemic Load To effectively use the glycemic index you also need to consider the glycemic load of a food. The glycemic load tells you how much carbohydrate is in a particular food."

Pinterest Facebook Twitter Email By: Toby Amidor, M. S., R. D., C. D. N. We told you why you should love beans — the next legume: peas. Like beans, dry peas are an inexpensive, nutrient powerhouse. The popularity of the pea is nothing new, but we've got healthy updates on some old favorites like split pea soup -- plus, new ways to try them. Peas, Please Peas supposedly originated in northwest Asia and then sailed the ocean blue to America with Christopher Columbus. Even Thomas Jefferson realized the pea's amazing potential — he grew 30 different kinds in his garden. Peas dry naturally in the summer sun and commonly “split” during processing, which speeds up cooking time. Most folks are familiar with green peas, but have you seen the less common yellow ones at the store? Both come whole or split and range in size from small to medium. Pigeon, Black-eyed, and Field peas are other varieties."

"text": "\"Difference Between Yellow Split Peas & Green Split Peasby MATTHEW LEE Oct. 03, 2017Green and yellow split peas are different varieties of the seeds of the Pisum sativum L., or field pea, plant. Belonging to the legume family, this plant is found throughout the world, with the world's top producers being Russia, China, India, Canada and the United States. Due to the plant's versatility and near universality, split peas are found in the traditional dishes of a variety of cultures around the world. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load History Pisum sativum L. is one of the oldest crops cultivated by human beings. A native of the Fertile Crescent, Pisum sativum L. spread east to China and west through the Mediterranean and across Europe. The gathering of wild, whole peas for use in food may predate the plant's domestication, with peas carbon dated to 9750 B. C. E. found in an ancient settlement in Southeast Asia. Despite its long history in the diets of the ancient Roman, Greek, Babylonian, Persian and Egyptian civilizations, the use of split peas arose thousands of years after the plant's domestication. Splitting Process Evidence of split pea soup dates back to 500 B. C. E. in the Greek and Roman civilizations, with its growing popularity leading to a mention in Aristophenes' play \"\"The Birds\"\" from 414 B. C. E. A mechanical process, splitting the dry seeds of the Pisum sativum L. plant first involves husking, or dehulling, the seeds. This removal of the outer coating of the seed allows for easy division of the pea into its two cotyledons, the parts of the seed that eventually develop into leaves. This removal of the husk and splitting of the pea results in a sweeter, less starchy, earthier taste, softer texture and shorter required cooking time than for whole peas."

A vegetable protein, they contain fewer pesticides than animal products. They’re low in fat, and are versatile enough to absorb flavor from a wide variety of flavors and spices. With so many warnings about chemicals in canned foods, now might be the time to make the switch to home-cooked beans. Dried beans are usually very cheap, although they take a while to cook from scratch so consider energy usage when making price comparisons. Make a large quantity and freeze to make the effort worthwhile. I’ll give a few methods. The following instructions for cooking beans from scratch apply to kidney beans, chickpeas, dried peas, black-eyed peas, white (navy) beans, black beans, pinto beans, lima beans, fava beans, and lentils.

Update: Tilli - fungi are not autotrophic, they derive food from breaking down organic material in soil.1 following 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Because it belongs to the animal kingdom rather than the fungi or plant kingdoms. Sponges are heterotrophic- they feed on existing organic matter, unlike autotrophic plants that make it themselves. They filter feed rather that feed saprotrophically, which distinguishes them from fungi. EDIT: Look, I took the time to answer you question, at least read my answer properly. At no point did I say they were autotrophic. What I said was (just to make it clear) they are HETEROTROPHIC, unlike plants which are AUTOTROPHIC. They filter feed SAPROTROPHICALLY which is what makes them different from fungi. Please at least read my answer thoroughly before you criticise it.

Other than these two, regeneration and parthenogenesis are also considered as asexual reproduction types. Production of offspring without fertilization is known as asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction can be seen in almost all the prokaryotes, some plants, and in certain animals. It involves one parent individual and results in genetically identical individuals, also known as clones. Binary Fission Binary fission is a simple reproduction method which involves mitosis followed by the splitting of a parent individual. It is very common among prokaryotes. In the binary fission, two identical individuals are formed. First, circular chromosome in the prokaryotic genome replicates. Then a new plasma membrane and a cell wall are formed along the midline of the cell, dividing the parent cell into two equally sized cells."

Individual organisms come and go, but, to a certain extent, organisms \"\"transcend\"\" time by reproducing offspring. In a nutshell, reproduction is the creation of a new individual or individuals from previously existing individuals. In animals, this can occur in two primary ways: through asexual reproduction and through sexual reproduction . In asexual reproduction, one individual produces offspring that are genetically identical to itself. These offspring are produced by mitosis. There are many invertebrates, including sea stars and sea anemones for example, that produce by asexual reproduction. Common forms of asexual reproduction include: Budding In this form of asexual reproduction, an offspring grows out of the body of the parent. Hydras exhibit this type of reproduction."

Over the years, scientists have developed several systems for the classification of organisms. From the late 1960's, organisms had been classified according to a Five Kingdom system. This classification system model was based on principles developed by Swedish scientist Carolus Linnaeus, whose hierarchical system groups organisms based on common physical characteristics. The Three Domain System As scientists learn more about organisms, classification systems change. Genetic sequencing has given researchers a whole new way of analyzing relationships between organisms. The current system, the Three Domain System, groups organisms primarily based on differences in ribosomal RNA (r RNA) structure. Ribosomal RNA is a molecular building block for ribosomes. Under this system, organisms are classified into three domains and six kingdoms."

Edibility is typically determined by the lack of poisonous effects on people and a desirable flavor and aroma. Edible mushrooms are either cultivated or harvested wild. Cultivated mushrooms are generally available at grocery stores, while wild mushrooms are typically picked by mushroom hunters. A mushroom must be properly identified as an edible species before eating it, as poisonous mushrooms can easily be confused with edible mushrooms. Puffballs Puffballs (Lycoperdon) are pear-shaped or round mushrooms that are typically gray, tan or white in color. A puffball’s insides start out solid white, but turn brown as the mushroom ages. These mushrooms range in size from an inch to a foot in diameter. Puffballs can be found in woods, pastures or lawns in the late summer and fall. They prefer growing on decaying wood or in rich soil."

Plants have a life cycle in which they alternate between a generation with one set of chromosomes in its cells and a generation called a sporophyte with two sets of chromosomes in its cells. In this lesson, learn more about plant sporophytes. What Are Sporophytes? All plants and some algae have a life cycle in which they undergo alternation of generations. This process involves a haploid multicellular generation called a gametophyte and a diploid multicellular generation called a sporophyte. Haploid means having only one set of chromosomes in your cells and is usually written as 'n.' Diploid means having two sets of chromosomes and is indicated by '2n.' Let's take a closer look at the sporophyte generation. Function of a Sporophyte The job of a sporophyte is to produce spores. This makes sense because 'spore' is part of the word 'sporophyte.'"

Thin coatings of cyanobacteria existed on land about 1.2 billion years ago. About 500 million years ago, plants, fungi, and animals joined them. More than 290,000 species of plants inhabit Earth today. Most plants live in terrestrial environments, including deserts, grasslands, and forests. Some species, such as sea grasses, have returned to aquatic habitats. The presence of plants has enabled other organisms to survive on land. Plant roots have created habitats for other organisms by stabilizing landscapes. Plants are the source of oxygen and the ultimate provider of food for land animals.

The nonsexual phase is the sporophyte.gametophyte A liverwort gametophyte. Eric Guinther In the gametophyte phase, which is haploid (having a single set of chromosomes ), male and female organs (gametangia) develop and produce eggs and sperm ( gametes) through simple mitosis for sexual reproduction. When these unite in fertilization, the zygote then develops into the diploid (having two sets of chromosomes) sporophyte phase, which produces unicellular spores through meiosis. These, in turn, develop into a new gametophyte phase.moss: life cycle Life cycle of moss. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. The character and relative extent of the two phases vary greatly among different groups of plants and algae. Over the course of evolution, the gametophyte stage has become progressively reduced. Thus, the gametophyte stage is dominant in the more primitive (nonvascular) plants ( bryophytes ), whereas the sporophyte is the dominant phase in the life cycle of higher (i.e., vascular) plants. In algae, the dominant phase often depends on environmental conditions, though some species have determinant life cycles.

In these groups, a multicellular gametophyte, which is haploid with nchromosomes, alternates with a multicellular sporophyte, which is diploid with 2 n chromosomes, made up of n pairs. A mature sporophyte produces spores by meiosis, a process which reduces the number of chromosomes to half, from 2 n to n. The haploid spores germinate and grow into a haploid gametophyte. At maturity, the gametophyte produces gametes by mitosis, which does not alter the number of chromosomes. Two gametes (originating from different organisms of the same species or from the same organism) fuse to produce a zygote, which develops into a diploid sporophyte. This cycle, from gametophyte to gametophyte (or equally from sporophyte to sporophyte), is the way in which all land plants and many algae undergo sexual reproduction. The relationship between the sporophyte and gametophyte varies among different groups of plants. In those algae which have alternation of generations, the sporophyte and gametophyte are separate independent organisms, which may or may not have a similar appearance. In liverworts, mosses and hornworts, the sporophyte is less well developed than the gametophyte and is largely dependent on it. Although moss and hornwort sporophytes can photosynthesise, they require additional photosynthate from the gametophyte to sustain growth and spore development and depend on it for supply of water, mineral nutrients and nitrogen.

The sporophyte generation (spore capsules and stalks) extend upward from the gametophyte generation (green vegetation) below. Michael Weber/Getty Images Plant Life Cycle - Alternation of Generations Plants are able to reproduce by what is known as alternation of generations. Alternation of generations describes a plant's life cycle as it alternates between a sexual phase or generation and an asexual phase. The sexual generation in plants produces gametes, or sex cells, and is called the gametophyte generation. The asexual phase produces spores and is called the sporophyte generation. Each generation develops from the other, continuing the cyclical process. Protist organisms including algae also exhibit this type of life cycle. Plant and Animal Reproduction Plants and some animals are capable of reproducing both asexually and sexually. In asexual reproduction, the offspring are an exact duplicate of the parent."

"text": "Alternation of Generations<< Prev Section Next Section >>All plants undergo a life cycle that takes them through both haploid and diploid generations. The multicellular diploid plant structure is called the sporophyte, which produces spores through meiotic (asexual) division. The multicellular haploid plant structure is called the gametophyte, which is formed from the spore and give rise to the haploid gametes. The fluctuation between these diploid and haploid stages that occurs in plants is called the alternation of generations. The way in which the alternation of generations occurs in plants depends on the type of plant. In bryophytes (mosses and liverworts), the dominant generation is haploid, so that the gametophyte comprises what we think of as the main plant. The opposite is true for tracheophytes (vascular plants), in which the diploid generation is dominant and the sporophyte comprises the main plant. Bryophyte Generations Bryophytes are nonvascularized plants that are still dependent on a moist environment for survival (see Plant Classification, Bryophytes. Like all plants, the bryophyte life cycle goes through both haploid (gametophyte) and diploid (sporophyte) stages. The gametophyte comprises the main plant (the green moss or liverwort), while the diploid sporophyte is much smaller and is attached to the gametophyte."

Two plants cannot come together to mate. Instead, they have to find different ways in which to reproduce. One such way is with spores. What Is a Sporangium? A sporangium is a structure in certain plants and other organisms that is charged with making and storing spores. Spores are haploid structures created in organisms that help to germinate and form new organisms. In other words, they help organisms to reproduce. But, what does it mean that they're haploid? Well, it simply means that there's only half of the required chromosomes to form a full diploid organism."

Gametes develop from the multicellular haploid gametophytes (Greek phyton, \"\"plant\"\"). Fertilization gives rise to a multicellular, diploid sporophyte that produces haploid spores via meiosis. This type of life cycle is called a haplodiplontic life cycle. It differs from our own diplontic life cycle, where only the gametes are in the haploid state. Haplodiplontic life cycles are best understood by focusing on where meiosis occurs. Gametes are not the direct result of a meiotic division. Diploid sporophyte cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid spores. Each spore goes through mitotic divisions to yield a multicellular, haploid gametophyte.

Bryophytes are an informal group consisting of three divisions of non-vascular land plants ( embryophytes ), the liverworts, hornworts and mosses. [ 1] They are characteristically limited in size and prefer moist habitats although they can survive in drier environments. [ 2] The bryophytes consist of about 20,000 plant species. [ 3] [4] Bryophytes produce enclosed reproductive structures (gametangia and sporangia), but they do not produce flowers or seeds. They reproduce via spores. Bryophytes are usually considered to be a paraphyletic group and not a monophyletic group, although some studies have produced contrary results. Regardless of their status, the name is convenient and remains in use as an informal collective term. The term \"\"bryophyte\"\" comes from Greek βρύον, bryon \"\"tree-moss, oyster-green\"\" and φυτόν, phyton \"\"plant\"\".

"text": "Full Answer The alternation of generations allows plants to reproduce both sexually and asexually. Even though both gametophytes and sporophytes contain the genetic material of the plant species in question, these different life phases often look different. Most complex vascular plants spend more time as sporophytes, but mosses are different: the visible part of the plant is actually the gametophyte stage for these species. Haploid gametophytes only have one copy of each chromosome in each of their cells, which is why this life phase must reproduce asexually. Eventually gametophytes produce gametes which combine to form a diploid zygote. This zygote grows into the sporophyte form. Diploid sporophytes have two copies of each chromosome and are therefore able to undergo meiosis to form haploid spores that grow into gametophytes, bringing the alternation of generations full circle. Alternation of generations serves an evolutionary function by allowing plant species to combine the chromosomes of individual plants through sexual reproduction while using the haploid phase to eliminate harmful alleles.

A life cycle is the generation-to-generation sequence of stages in the reproductive history of an organism from conception to production of its own offspring. How many chromosomes do the somatic cells in humans have? 46. During mitosis, the chromosomes become condensed enough to be visible under a light microscope. At this point, they can be distinguished from one another by their size, the positions of their centromeres, and the pattern of colored bands produced by certain stains. How many types of chromosomes are there in a somatic human cell? Careful examination of a micrograph of the 46 human chromosomes from a single cell in mitosis reveals that there are two chromosomes of each of 23 types. This becomes clear when images of the chromosomes are arranged in pairs, starting with the longest chromosomes. The resulting ordered display is called a karyotype."

Some, such as Gaylord Perry and Burleigh Grimes, were known to add a little saliva or in Perry's case perhaps a little Vaseline. Doing this would cause the ball to suddenly drop when reaching home plate as if the bottom had fallen out of it. Then there was Whitey Ford, who was said to be able to put a few nicks or scratches in the old cowhide causing the laced sphere to do some mighty strange things. None of these players comes close to being as interesting as baseball legend Professor Vernon Simpson. Professor Simpson was a chemistry professor at a Midwestern college. He was in love with the Dean's daughter, Deborah Greenleaf and hoped that someday they would be married. College professor's salaries being what they were in the late forties, his only hope of being able to financially support Miss Greenleaf depended on an experiment he had devised that would someday change the world. Like all normal American men of his day, Vernon was also known to get caught up in the Rite of Spring better described as the opening of the baseball season. One day while in his lab working intently on his experiment, some of the young college students were outside practicing baseball."

During this quarter of a century slice of stadium building infamy, only in Kansas City did a true baseball-only venue open, and it was a gem. By contrast, preceding and following its entrance into the majors was Veterans Stadium (1971) and the Kingdome (1976), both of which were imploded (for good reason) after short life spans. Kauffman Stadium’s began thanks to the voters of the county in which it resides, Jackson, who in 1967 passed a bond issue allowing for its construction as part of an eventual $70 million package that included the Chiefs’ neighboring Arrowhead Stadium. Three decades later the same populace authorized the funds needed for the baseball stadium’s renovation, a $256 million project completed on July 17, 2009 when the Royals’ sparkling new Hall of Fame building was ready for occupancy. So baseball fans worldwide have the Jackson County citizenship to thank for what was, is and will probably always be one of the best ballparks in Major League Baseball, and one that would be inducted into a Ballpark Hall of Fame, if there was such a thing. Long renowned for its picturesque waterfall fountains in the outfield and sleek, sloping curved design, “The K,” as it’s oft referred with affection, was majestic even before it became new again. But when it did, Kauffman Stadium had a sleek exterior to match the slick style that has always been a hallmark of its interior. The previously exposed concrete exterior façade is now fronted by a lengthy building that was added between the two remaining circular ramps (two others were removed during renovations)."

TV partner (s) CBS Sports Network Mi LB.tv, local tv stations Official website Mi LB.com Minor League Baseball is a hierarchy of professional baseball leagues in the Americas that compete at levels below Major League Baseball (MLB) and provide opportunities for player development and a way to prepare for the major leagues. All of the minor leagues are operated as independent businesses. Most are members of the umbrella organization known as Minor League Baseball ( Mi LB ), which operates under the Commissioner of Baseball within the scope of organized baseball. Several leagues, known as independent baseball leagues, do not have any official links to Major League Baseball. Except for the Mexican League, teams in the organized minor leagues are generally independently owned and operated but are directly affiliated with one major league team through a standardized Player Development Contract (PDC). These leagues also go by the nicknames the \"\" farm system ,\"\" \"\"farm club,\"\" or \"\"farm team (s)\"\" because of a joke passed around by major league players in the 1930s when St. Louis Cardinals general manager Branch Rickey formalized the system, and teams in small towns were \"\"growing players down on the farm like corn. \"\" Major League Baseball and Minor League Baseball teams may enter into a PDC for a two- or four-year term. At the expiration of a PDC term, teams may renew their affiliation, or sign new PDCs with different clubs, though many relationships are renewed and endure for extended time periods. For example, the Omaha Storm Chasers (formerly the Omaha Royals and Omaha Golden Spikes) have been the Triple-A affiliate of the Kansas City Royals since the Royals joined the American League in 1969, but the Columbus Clippers changed affiliations, after being associated with the New York Yankees from 1979, to the Washington Nationals in 2007 and have been affiliated with the Cleveland Indians since 2009."

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( July 2007) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)RFK Stadium, a multipurpose stadium in Washington, D. C. Multi-purpose stadiums are a type of stadium designed to be easily used by multiple types of events. While any stadium could potentially host more than one type of sport or event, this concept usually refers to a specific design philosophy that stresses multifunctionality over specificity. It is used most commonly in Canada and the United States, where the two most popular outdoor team sports – football and baseball – require radically different facilities. Football uses a rectangular field ( Canadian football fields are larger than American ones ), while baseball is played on a diamond and large outfield. This requires a particular design to accommodate both, usually an oval. While building stadiums in this way means that sports teams and governments can share costs, it also imposes some challenges. In North America, multipurpose stadiums were built primarily during the 1960s and 1970s as shared home stadiums for Major League Baseball and National Football League or Canadian Football League teams."

You may improve this article, discuss the issue on the talk page, or create a new article, as appropriate. ( February 2018) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)College baseball is baseball that is played on the intercollegiate level at institutions of higher education. In comparison to football and basketball, college competition in the United States plays a smaller role in developing professional players, as baseball's professional minor leagues are more extensive. Moving directly from high school to the professional level is more common in baseball than in football or basketball. However, if players enroll at a four-year college, they must complete three years to regain eligibility, unless they reach age 21 before starting their third year of attendance. Players who enroll at junior colleges (i.e., two-year institutions) regain eligibility after one year at that level. In the most recently completed 2017 season, there were 298 NCAA Division I teams in the United States (including schools transitioning from Division II to Division I). As with most other U. S. intercollegiate sports, competitive college baseball is played under the auspices of the NCAA or the NAIA. The NCAA writes the rules of play, while each sanctioning body supervises season-ending tournaments."

So, though Baby Elijah is totally wrong about old school video games being lame nowadays (why else would they have so many old school downloads available for Wii? ), Zemeckis called handless/wireless video games being the cool new way to play.

The stirring sight, in Green Bay, Wisconsin, of the Packers charging out of the tunnel at Lambeau Field alongside their legendary leader, Vince Lombardi, who is wearing a football jersey, shoulder pads and a helmet as he prepares to coach his squad to another victory. Or the heroic vision of Coach Phil Jackson with the members of the Chicago Bulls, or the Los Angeles Lakers, gathered around him during a timeout as, wearing his usual game-day attire of shorts, gym shoes and a sleeveless basketball jersey with a number on the front, he maps out on a clipboard the next series of plays for his team to run. What? You say you don't remember scenes like those? You never saw Coach Lombardi on the sidelines dressed like a football fullback, and you never saw Coach Jackson giving instructions to his players while dressed like a point guard? That's because it didn't happen. National Basketball Association coaches dress in street clothes; so do National Football League coaches (albeit with team logos). But -- as you have undoubtedly noticed anew if you've been watching the World Series -- baseball managers don't."

Even at the low end of estimated injuries, eye injuries are much too common, and the majority of injuries are preventable. Sports safety experts agree that eye protection should be a major concern for athletes, coaches, and parents of athletes who play high-risk sports. Paul Spinelli / Getty Images How Eye Injuries Happen Most sports-related eye injuries are caused by a blow to the eye. Examples of blunt trauma injuries are a broken bone under the eyeball (orbital blowout fracture), a broken or ruptured eyeball, and a detached retina. Bruised eyes and eyelids look bad, but they are usually less serious than other blunt trauma eye injuries, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology. According to a British Journal of Sports Medicine report, one-third of all blowout fractures are sustained while playing sports. While a blowout fracture is a serious injury, it may not be as gruesome as the term implies. It's a fracture of the eye socket. The fracture can happen in two ways."

In High-A ball, you'll earn anywhere from $50 to $100 a pop, depending on whether you have to give a speech. Appearances are first-come, first-served—there are usually only three spaces for signatures—and often are scheduled during a player's sleeping hours or on one of the eight days off a player will get over the course of a seven-month season. Still, you can count on the sheet being covered in names within minutes of its posting. Money is so tight in the minors, getting your name on that list is a godsend. Being a minor league player is a brutal experience—a brutal experience you, dear minor league player, can never speak of. If you ever decide to tell the general public of your disgust with professional baseball, that it's paying you in stale beer and day-old hot dogs for the honor of playing among its chosen immortals, expect your words to echo off into the endless vacuum.

As the Sox push for their eighth championship, here’s another change to make. Please, Ye Olde Towne Team, ship “Sweet Caroline” out of Boston. Why now? We’re on the big stage again and our credibility’s at stake. My World Series nightmare isn’t Jon Lester coughing up a three-run homer or Mike Napoli channeling his inner Pete Incaviglia. That’s baseball. My fear: We’re down by a crooked number in the eighth and, when it comes time for the team theme song, instead of gripping our armrests with intent — as if we actually care — we’ll do it like Miami or San Diego or some other third-rate baseball town, swaying to the soft rock as our championship run screeches to a karaoke-choked stop.

"text": "English Springer Spaniel From the hunting fields to the show rings to household family rooms, the versatility of the English springer spaniel has served to maintain the breed's popularity. During the 1600s, English springer spaniels were bred and developed by the Duke of Norfolk in England. The resulting dogs were originally called Norfolk spaniels until their name was changed during the following century to English springer spaniel. The dog was named for its role of springing at birds to flush them out for hunters. English springer spaniels and the smaller English cocker spaniels were both used for hunting birds, and they belonged to the same general breed of dogs. In 1902, the English Kennel Club made the distinction between the two by declaring them as two separate breeds. In 1910, the American Kennel Club recognized the English springer spaniel as a member of the sporting group. The English Springer Spaniel is a medium-sized athletic dog with log legs and large ears. It was bred to hunt and is therefore built for endurance and agility. It has a double coat with a soft, protective undercoat and a medium length outer coat."

"text": "How to Groom your English Springer Spaniel Follow me: Grooming is an important part of looking after your springer spaniel – keeping his fur gleaming and brushed, and his nails trimmed. The process of grooming is pleasurable for the dog, in the main. During grooming you can examine the dog closely and check for ticks, scratches, dirty ears, damaged pads, swollen leg joints and anything unusual. As a working breed they do not need professional grooming, but will look their best with some regular attention which you can do yourself. Starting Early Getting your pup used to regular grooming is the best approach, and if you include with this the commands such as sit and stay, it also forms part of his early training – he might not listen at first, but it will get easier. Their ears will often get wet at the ends eating wet food, so washing will be necessary. He also gets used to having his ears handled – they need to be checked regularly with springer spaniels – they love mud and can be susceptible to ear problems. A soft brush is needed for a pup – it will not pull at his coat or hurt his skin. A stiff brush may be invigorating for an adult dog, but pups have to learn with the soft brush first, and of course, to sit still whilst being brushed. Nails should be trimmed regularly, you can do this yourself with a guillotine clippers, but not too close."

In the early 20th century, Cocker Spaniels also included small hunting Spaniels. Cocker Spaniels were originally bred as hunting dogs in the United Kingdom, with the term cocker deriving from their use to hunt the Eurasian woodcock. When the breed was brought to the United States, it was bred to a different standard, which enabled it to specialize in hunting the American woodcock. Further physical changes were bred into the cocker in the United States during the early part of the 20th century. Spaniels were first mentioned in the 14th century by Gaston III of Foix-Béarn in his work the Livre de Chasse. The \"\"cocking\"\" or \"\"cocker spaniel\"\" was a type of field or land spaniel in the 19th century. Prior to 1901, Cocker Spaniels were only separated from Field Spaniels and Springer Spaniels by weight."

"text": "Sporting Dog Breeds Dog Care > Dog Adoption > Selecting a Dog Breed >10 December 10, 2014 Pet Place.com Veterinarians 18,472 Views Share Throughout the world, there are more than 400 purebred dogs. However, the American Kennel Club only recognizes and accepts breeds with a lineage, as well as those with an active breed group to perpetuate and develop the breed. For that reason, the AKC does not recognize many breeds. Once recognized by the AKC, the breed appears in the AKC Stud Book. Each breed is placed in a specific category, based on temperament, physical appearance and function. When the American Kennel Club was founded in 1884 (then called the Philadelphia Kennel Club), it haphazardly listed its original 29 different breeds. Breeds as different as the dachshund and the mastiff were lumped together on the list. As the list of purebreds slowly grew, club officials realized they needed to organize the many different purebreds into distinct groups. In 1923, the AKC organized the breeds into five categories: Sporting Dogs (including hounds), Working Dogs, Toy Breeds, Terriers and Non-sporting Dogs. Today, there are 163 breeds divided into eight categories: Sporting, Hound, Herding, Toy, Working, Terrier, Non-sporting and Miscellaneous."

The American Kennel Club announced today that the intelligent, family friendly breed has taken the #1 spot on the most popular list for the 23rd consecutive year, the longest reign at the top in AKC history. “ Owning bigger breeds - an economic indicator of sorts - have been on the rise during the past five years,” said AKC Spokesperson Lisa Peterson. “ As the economy has improved, people are turning back to the big dogs they love, which cost more to feed and care for than the smaller breeds that saw a rise in popularity in 2007 and 2008.” Most Notable Dog Trends in 2013 Include Comeback canines! These rare breeds, which have been on the decline over the past decade, made strong gains in 2013.

"text": "Dogs that can be considered of medium size can be found in most of the AKC’s seven groups. Whether it’s the energetic Shetland Sheepdog, the sporty spaniels, or the laid back Bulldog, there is a range of temperament and appearance within this size category. When considering getting a dog, size is a factor, but only one of them. The dog’s personality, activity needs, and grooming requirements are some of the other things to decide before you begin your research. Below are some of the breeds that fall into this size range. No matter what size dog you’re looking for, you’ll be sure to get big love from them!Brittany The Brittany was named for the French province in which it originated as early as AD 150. While it is generally concluded that the basic stock for all bird dogs is the same, most of the actual facts concerning the development and spread of various breeds is lost to us, and early written records are unclear and confusing. However, it seems likely the dogs of Brittany and Wales had the same progenitors and developed along similar paths, quite possibly interbreeding since the lands are close and conducted much commerce. Good evidence for this supposition lies in the inherent resemblance existing between the Brittany and the Welsh Springer Spaniel. The first accurate records to pinpoint the actual Brittany-type dog are the paintings and tapestries of the 17th century, in which the Brittany appears fairly frequently, such as those of Oudry and Steen."

It is an affectionate, excitable breed with a typical lifespan of twelve to fourteen years.

"text": "Springtails One of the most unusual, and smallest, insect inhabitants of Texas lawns are springtails. Far from being harmful, springtails serve as decomposers, one of a community of organisms that help break down organic matter and return valuable nutrients to the soil. Springtails can be found in compost bins, lawns, mulch or nearly anywhere in soil or leaf litter. Occasionally, however, springtails become a nuisance around homes. Identification Springtails are among the smallest insects in the home landscape. Typical species are about .04 inch- (1 mm-) long, barely visible to the eye. Springtails are wingless and do not fly, but under a hand lens or microscope one can see a long tail, which is normally kept folded under the body. This tail, when sprung from its folded position, enables these insects to jump, much like miniature fleas. Springtails come in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes, but to the human eye usually appear as small, grey specks. Springtails can be distinguished from fleas by their appearance and much smaller size."

I will also likely fire up my new Eyeclops toy and see if I can get some cool critter footage!For those of you unfamiliar, White Worms (aka Pot Worms – family Enchytraeidae) are close relatives of the earthworms. Both of these worms are members of the class (might actually be subclass now) Oligochaeta – i.e. they are segmented worms with “few bristles”, unlike the ‘Polychaete’ worms. White Worms are common inhabitants of rich organic environments, such as is found in a compost heap or worm bin. In particular, they seem to favour acidic conditions, and in fact can be used as an indication of decreased p H in a worm bin. Commonly they will spring up (seemingly out of nowhere) when lots of acidic materials are added to the bin, or when starchy materials are added and allowed to ferment. My very first experience with White Worms dates back to shortly after I set up my very first worm bin. I decided to add a large quantity of rice to my bin (not knowing any better at the time)."

"text": "\"Housing Crested geckos thrive at temperatures between 72 and 82 degrees Farenheit, general room temperature for many homes. While they deal fairly well if the temperature dips a few degrees below 72, you will want to avoid temperatures much higher than 82. The excessive heat can cause stress in the animal, which could put it off of its food, and possibly eventually kill it. If you have no means of cooling your home to below 82 in the hot months, a crested gecko is not a good choice for you. Using a digital thermometer and hygrometer to monitor temperatures and humidity is a good idea. It is also a good idea to have a backup plan in place in the off-chance that your power goes out on a very hot day and you can not run your air conditioner. You can put the gecko in a watertight enclosure in a bathtub with a few inches of cold water inside the tub, or you could take a couple of bottles of ice and put them inside the enclosure. Having cooling packs on-hand can also be helpful. However, these are all temporary fixes and may not be sufficient to keep a crested gecko at the proper temperatures for long. A single adult gecko should be given, on the low end, about 20 gallons of space; as they are arboreal, it is preferable that the enclosure be taller than it is longer, though larger long tanks can be used too as long as there are a lot of good climbing spots provided."

If you've found this information useful please consider making a donation so we can continue our work to restore this globally unique landscape. In our modern-day human culture, decomposition and decay have often come to be viewed quite negatively, with the former mainly associated with things that are rotten, have a bad smell and are generally symptomatic of death, while the latter is similarly viewed as very undesirable, whether it be in terms of urban decay, or, on a much more personal level, tooth decay. However, they are vital processes in nature, playing an essential role in the breakdown of organic matter, recycling it and making it available again for new organisms to utilise. Decomposition and decay are the yin to the yang of growth, and together they form two halves of the whole that is the closed-loop cycle of natural ecosystems. Everything dies, and without the processes of decomposition and decay the world would quickly become not only overflowing with the remains of dead plants and animals, but also would experience a decline in new growth, due to a shortage of nutrients, that would be locked up and unavailable in the dead forms. What is decomposition? Decomposition is the first stage in the recycling of nutrients that have been used by an organism (plant or animal) to build its body, and are surrendered back to the ecosystem upon its death. It is the process whereby the dead tissues break down and are converted into simpler organic forms that are the food source for many of the species at the base of ecosystems. The species that carry out the process of decomposition, and feed on the 'waste' products produced by it, are known as detritivores, which means literally 'feeders on dead or decaying organic matter'."

They include insects, such as springtails, beetles, and ants; crustaceans such as sowbugs; arachnids such as spiders and mites; myriapods, such as centipedes and millipedes; and scorpions. Nearly every soil is home to many different arthropod species. Certain row-crop soils contain several dozen species of arthropods in a square mile. Several thousand different species may live in a square mile of forest soil."

"text": "Chapter 1, The Decomposition Process The process of decomposition — the breakdown of raw organic materials to a finished compost — is a gradual complex process, one in which both chemical and biological processes must occur in order for organic matter to change into compost. The decomposition (stabilization) of organic matter by biological action has been taking place in nature since life first appeared on our planet. In recent times, man has attempted to control and directly utilize the process for sanitary recycling and reclamation of organic waste material. Such organic materials as vegetable matter, animal manure and other organic refuse can be converted from otherwise wasted materials to a more stable form for use as a soil amendment by this process. This process is called “composting” and the final product of composting is called “compost”. Generally speaking there are two processes that yield compost: ANAEROBIC (without oxygen) decomposition. AEROBIC (with oxygen) decomposition and stabilization. In these processes, bacteria, fungi, molds, protozoa, actinomycetes, and other saprophytic organisms feed upon decaying organic materials initially, while in the later stages of decomposition mites, millipedes, centipedes, springtails, beetles and earthworms further breakdown and enrich the composting materials. The organisms will vary in the pile due to temperature conditions, but the goal in composting is to create the most favorable environment possible for the desired organisms. Differences between aerobic and anaerobic composting are discussed below."

Photo by David Nance, USDA ARSA healthy soil produces healthy crops with minimal amounts of external inputs and few to no adverse ecological effects. It contains favorable biological, physical and chemical properties. A biologically healthy soil harbors a multitude of different organisms — microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, amoebae and paramecia, as well as larger organisms like nematodes, springtails, insect larvae, ants, earthworms and ground beetles. Most are helpful to plants, enhancing the availability of nutrients and producing chemicals that stimulate plant growth. Among the vital functions of soil organisms are: Breaking down litter and cycling nutrients Converting atmospheric nitrogen into organic forms and reconverting organic nitrogen into inorganic forms that plants can use Synthesizing enzymes, vitamins, hormones and other important substances Altering soil structuren Eating and/or decomposing weed seeds Suppressing and/or feeding on soil-borne plant pathogens and plant-parasitic nematodes A healthy, biodiverse soil will support high levels of potentially beneficial soil organisms and low levels of potentially harmful ones. A soil rich in fresh residues — sometimes called particulate or light fraction organic matter — can feed huge numbers of organisms and foster abundant biological activity. A soil’s physical condition — its degree of compaction, capacity for water storage and ease of drainage — is also critical to soil and plant health."

Types and species of mites that can irritate or paratize humans: Planet Earth is home to more than 48,000 species of mites. A very limited number of them tend to bite or infest humans, live within skin, transmit disease or breed within homes. For a quick look at the mites that can bother people and the level of damage they can do, see the following list. SCABIES MITES: These mites burrow under human skin to complete their life cycle and cause chronic problems that present a challenge to physicians. Unlike other mites that irritate humans, scabies are mostly contracted through skin-to-skin contact; however, indirect transfer from garments or bedclothes can occur. Since scabies can survive up to 36 hours without a human host, direct treatment of bedding is a good idea for victims who share couches or sleeping quarters with others. Mite victims who don’t respond to mainstream chemical treatments may benefit greatly from our indoor cedar oil formulation. Unlike other essential oils sold for beauty or aroma therapy purposes, our product is filtered and purified to the highest degree so that it won’t stain carpets, furniture or bedding.

When suitable habitat occurs, they can develop tremendously large numbers and are one of the most abundant insects. One source estimates you may find millions of springtails naturally in one hectare (about 2.5 acres) of land. However, springtails can be a nuisance when they occur in and around homes and other buildings. Photo: Brenda Postels Springtail close-up (note the furcula at the tip of the abdomen)Identification These insects are very small, commonly between 1/16th and 1/8th inch long. They have moderate length antennae and are usually slender, elongate insects, although there is a group of springtails that is round and stout. Most springtails are dark-colored, brown, grey or black although some species are white, and some are even iridescent and brightly colored. Springtails are wingless and do not fly but they can jump, using a specialized forked appendage called a furcula, located underneath the abdomen. When not in use, the furcula is tucked under the body, set like a mouse trap. When it is released, it extends down rapidly propelling the springtail forward, jumping up to several inches."

In the world, some 900 thousand different kinds of living insects are known. This represents approximately 80 percent of the world's species. The true figure of living species of insects can only be estimated from present and past studies. Most authorities agree that there are more insect species that have not been described (named by science) than there are insect species that have been previously named. Conservative estimates suggest that this figure is 2 million, but estimates extend to 30 million. In the last decade, much attention has been given to the entomofauna that exists in the canopies of tropical forests of the world. From studies conducted by Terry Erwin of the Smithsonian Institution's Department of Entomology in Latin American forest canopies, the number of living species of insects has been estimated to be 30 million. Insects also probably have the largest biomass of the terrestrial animals. At any time, it is estimated that there are some 10 quintillion (10,000,000,000,000,000,000) individual insects alive."

Some microbes are free-living organisms and others are parasites. Even though the words 'microbe' and 'bacteria' are associated with disease for most people, not all microorganisms are 'bad guys'. This topic looks at the interactions between microorganisms and the human body. Microorganisms can be harmless, beneficial or pathogenic, which means harmful. This chapter looks at the beneficial types of microorganisms. What are beneficial microorganisms? Apparently, harmless and beneficial bacteria far outnumber the harmful varieties. Microbes are vital to the environment because they participate in the Earth's element cycles like the carbon and nitrogen cycles. Microorganisms are involved in the production of oxygen, biomass control and 'cleaning' the Earth of remnants of dead organisms."

Rectangle A rectangle is a quadrilateral with all right angles. It is easily shown that it must also be a parallelogram, with all of the associated properties. A rectangle has an additional property, however. Theorem 51: The diagonals of a rectangle are equal. In rectangle ABCD (Figure ), AC = BD, by Theorem 51.

The opposite or facing sides of a parallelogram are of equal length and the opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure. The congruence of opposite sides and opposite angles is a direct consequence of the Euclidean parallel postulate and neither condition can be proven without appealing to the Euclidean parallel postulate or one of its equivalent formulations. By comparison, a quadrilateral with just one pair of parallel sides is a trapezoid in American English or a trapezium in British English. The three-dimensional counter-part of a parallelogram is a parallelepiped. The etymology (in Greek παραλληλ-όγραμμον, a shape \"\"of parallel lines\"\") reflects the definition.

The geometry of these figures were known to man for thousands of years. The subject is explicitly treated in the book “Elements” written by Greek mathematician Euclid. Parallelogram Parallelogram can be defined as the geometric figure with four sides, with opposite sides parallel to each other. More precisely it is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. This parallel nature gives many geometric characteristics to the parallelograms. A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if following geometric characteristics are found.• Two pairs of opposing sides are equal in length. ( AB = DC, AD = BC)• Two pairs of opposing angles are equal in size. ()• If the adjacent angles are supplementary• A pair of sides, which are opposing each other, is parallel and equal in length.

The most common tessellations today are floor tilings, using square, rectangular, hexagonal, or other shapes of ceramic tile, but many more tessellations were discussed in the Tessellations by Polygons chapter. M. C. Escher, Liberation, 1955Escher's primary interest in tessellations was as an artist. He wanted to create tessellations by recognizable figures, images of animals, people, and other everyday objects that his viewers would relate to. He used these figures to tell stories, such as the birds evolving from a rigid mesh of triangles to fly free into the sky in Liberation. In Predestination, flying birds and fish are born from the same black and white tessellation, fly into three dimensionality, and then meet when the fish completes the \"\"predestined\"\" killing of the bird. In his native Dutch, Escher called these tessellations 'Regelmatige Vlakverdeling', and collected them in his sketchbook."

But, just how similar can they be if one is a three-sided polygon, and the other is a specific type of quadrilateral? Let's begin drawing some connections between parallelograms and triangles by finding out how to measure the areas of parallelograms first. Areas of Parallelograms Recall that parallelograms are special a type of quadrilateral whose opposite sides do not intersect. Parallelograms come in the form of rectangles, rhombuses, and squares. When trying to determine the area of a parallelogram, it will be necessary to identify two main components: the base and the height of the parallelogram. The base of a parallelogram can be on any side of the figure. The height of a parallelogram is the perpendicular distance between any two parallel bases. Let's look at these different parts in the figure below. We could have also chosen the left and right sides of the parallelogram as our bases."

Lines and Angles An angle is composed of two lines and is a measure of the spread between them. The point where the two lines meet is called the vertex. On the GRE, angles are measured in degrees. Here’s an example: The ° after the 45 is a degree symbol. This angle measures 45 degrees. Acute, Obtuse, and Right Angles Angles that measure less than 90° are called acute angles.

Your glutes are made up if three different muscles—the gluteus maximus (the largest muscle), the gluteus medius, and the gluteus minimus. The key to firm glutes is to hit all of these muscles from different angles and with a variety of exercises and cardio activities. You can't always change the shape of your glutes, but you can make them firmer and stronger with the right exercises. Squats Ben Goldstein Squats are one of the best exercises to target gluteus maximus, which is the largest muscle in the lower body. Not only does the squat target the glutes, it also works the hips, thighs, calves, and even the core. Squats should be a staple of any basic lower body workout. If squats hurt your knees, you can do alternative forms of the squat. Do It Right Stand with feet hip-width apart and, for added intensity, hold weights at shoulder level or at your sides.

Afterwards, you'll be able to immediately add to your Leg Workouts and other Weight Training Programs. Continue reading to learn more about the benefits of this leg exercise and view our comparison to regular squats or skip directly to the exercise variations. Hack Squat Exercise Benefits The Hack Squat vs. Barbell Squats Many people consider the Leg Press Exercise to be the best alternative to Barbell Squats. However, we prefer these. Like Barbell Squats, the Hack Squat Exercise primarily targets your quadriceps, but also work your glutes, hamstrings, calves, and lower back—It's a complete lower body exercise. We're not dethroning the king here (see our Best Leg Exercises list for confirmation), but if your workout routines have become stale, try out one of these variations listed below. Although they work the same muscles, Hack Squats place more of an emphasis on the lower, inside area of your quadriceps than regular squats."

"text": "\"Glutes That Are Sore From Squatsby JOSHUA BAILEY Sept. 11, 2017Muscle soreness after a good lower body workout may be par for the course, But if you experience soreness the lasts longer than a day or two, you may have damaged muscle tissue by using poor technique or lifting more weight than you are ready for. Recovery from exercise takes 48 hours or longer, so you may need to lay off the squats until your soreness goes away. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Squat Mechanics Almost every muscle in your body is activated when performing a squat. The movement is initiated with a lifted chest and a backward movement of your hips, as if you are going to sit down. Your knees should bend after you initiate your hip movement. Keep your weight on your heels and your knees over your ankles. Your gluteus maximus, a major hip extensor muscle, works to extend your hip on the upward phase, and to control your speed on the downward phase. If other muscles like your quadriceps and hamstrings are weak, your gluts may do more than their share of work, resulting in post-execise soreness. Getting Down The squat requires active deceleration, meaning you must contract your muscles to slow the downward movement of the weight and prevent yourself from crashing to the floor. Moving too quickly in the downward phase can cause small micro-damage to the gluteal muscle fibers."

RELATED: Daily Burn 365: New Workouts, 7 Days a Week How to Squat Like a Pro1. Start Off on the Right Foot Many people play around with their foot position during the squat. Some experts will tell you that pointing your toes outward is best, while others say to do what feels natural. The truth is though, there’s only one correct foot position for the squat. Your feet should be slightly wider than shoulder width apart, with your toes pointed out about 10 degrees, says Andrew Sakhrani, CSCS, a Montreal-based strength coach. “"

The piriformis is a deep hip rotational muscle that turns your leg out. It sits under your glutes and runs from the base of your spine to your outer hip. When severe enough, a tight piriformis can cause a stabbing or dull ache in your butt that makes a long car trip miserable. A tight piriformis also creates SI joint pain and dysfunction since it attaches to the sacrum (the S in SI joint). Needing frequent chiropractic adjustments is another sign something isn't right.

Read further for more info; Squats work nearly every large muscle in your lower body. Body weight or air squats primarily work your lower body muscles, while weighted squats work not only your lower body but also specific muscles in your upper body. No matter how you choose to practice your squat workout, you'll be sure to walk away with firmer legs and tighter, rounder gluteal muscles. Particular parts it works out from your body are: hips, back, legs and abdomin.

Read on to find out!The mind-muscle connection has been popular for decades, and the phrase is common when referring to the 70’s bodybuilding greats such as Arnold, Frank Zane, and Mike Mentzer. Today, some folks take a more evidence-based approach to movement as opposed to relying on how the muscles feel and seeking the pump. While I agree that we shouldn’t always aim for the pump as our number one goal, it shouldn’t be completely overlooked for various reasons. Today we’re going to talk about the concept of mindfulness, and how to apply it to your training for more muscle, higher intensities and better workouts. What is mindfulness? To put it as simply as possible, mindfulness means to be consciously aware of the present moment. I don’t mean to sound new-age-y, but this is a concept most people do not talk much about.

"text": "01/30/2013Deadlift 101By Jim Smith Even though the squat is considered ‘the king of all exercises’, you could easily argue that the deadlift could share top billing. After all, few exercises combine the full body strength required to pick a heavy object up off the floor. Not to mention, most guys like to deadlift because it makes a statement. When you lock out a big weight – especially if it is heavier than what your buddy did – it gives you bragging rights and a sense of pride. That is why most deadlift days typically turn into a competition. Many lifters actually prefer deadlifts to squats because they can get away with a lot more bad technique flaws and still lift a lot of weight. Even if the bar gets away from them or their back rounds, they still can typically manage to finish the lift. What you might not realize is you’re setting the foundation for an inevitable future injury that will significantly stall your progress. That doesn’t mean you should stop deadlifting. Just the opposite; it means you should focus even more time of perfecting your technique."

"text": "ARE SQUATS NECESSARY TO BUILD BIG LEGS? Sean Nalewanyj Legs, Training QUESTION : Are squats necessary to build big legs, or is it possible to achieve an impressive lower body using alternative exercises? ANSWER : Despite the “hardcore” bodybuilding mentality that often treats squats as the “be-all-end-all” of effective lower body development, the reality is that it IS perfectly possible to build big, strong, impressively muscular legs without them. A lot of lifters out there tend to get a bit defensive on this subject, but the simple fact is that there’s no direct physiological reason why a squatting movement is specifically required in order for you to add significant muscle to your lower body. Don’t get me wrong here…Squats are no doubt an extremely effective leg exercise, and I do recommend that you include them in your lower body routine as long as you’re physically able to. A basic barbell squat is probably the single most productive leg exercise out there, and if your goal is to maximize your overall size and strength gains, then by all means treat them as a priority movement in your leg workouts. However, that doesn’t that squats are some sort of “magical exercise” that you absolutely must perform, and it doesn’t mean that you can’t still achieve great results without them. There are a variety of reasons why you might opt to exclude squats from your leg routine…For example, you might have an existing injury to your lower back or knees that gets particularly aggravated when you perform them despite using proper warmups and training technique. Or maybe you’re someone who works out from home and you don’t have access to a proper squat rack in order to do them safely. Or perhaps you simply don’t identify as a “bodybuilder” and you just aren’t interested in maximizing the size of your quads and glutes and would rather perform other exercises out of personal preference."

"text": "Related Articles The Best Exercises to Build Gluteal Muscles Standing Lower AB Exercises Yoga Butt Exercises How to Fix Lower-Back Rounding During Squats Exercises to Tone Your Back Abdominal Internal Oblique Exercises Squatting has the ability to make your butt bigger or smaller, depending on how you're squatting. More often than not, squatting will really just shape up your glutes, making them firmer instead of bigger or smaller. If you are losing body fat on top of performing squats, then your butt will likely shrink. If your glutes are building muscle, however, then your butt will appear larger. Muscle Involvement Squatting works your entire lower body. Your quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes and calves all have to work to perform a squat. If your feet are narrow, then the squat will target your outer hips as well. With a wider stance, your inner thighs will work harder. If you push into your heels as you stand up, this will target your glutes more efficiently Body Weight vs. Weights Body weight exercises are not as efficient in building muscle as exercises performed with weights. Using just body weight, though, will help improve muscle endurance and will still make you stronger."

But scientists were studying squirrel sounds long before spectrograms became common, assembling a set of onomatopoeic words to describe unique calls: kuks and quaas, moans and muk-muks.

Sometimes, knowing which animal to blame is a difficult task. Rabbits Rabbits are neat eaters that nip off chunks of leaves without leaving jagged edges. They also eat the fruit and may strip young seedlings down to the ground. Rabbits generally feed during the evening, night or early morning. They live in grassy areas and don't travel far, usually feeding near their burrows. A hardware cloth or chicken wire fence may be effective, but the fence must be placed tight against the ground to prevent the bunnies from crawling under.

"text": "\"Squirrels Several species of squirrels make their home in Texas, but the one with the widest distribution is the fox squirrel. It prefers an open, parklike woods where large mature trees shade the forest floor and prevent the under-brush from flourishing, but it can adapt to a variety of forest habitats. It is most abundant in the eastern third of the state, and distribution in the wild is about one squirrel for every two or three acres. Since a fox squirrel ranges over an area of at least ten acres during any one season and may cover forty acres during a year's time, the territories of several often overlap. It is not uncommon for squirrels to share winter food supplies. The gray squirrel is smaller and faster than the fox squirrel, and its agility and skittishness have given it a second name – cat squirrel. Acorns are the most important fall and winter food for the fox squirrel. The nuts provide needed energy but are low in protein. Squirrels start eating hickory and other nuts in the dough stage while the nuts are still developing and continue eating them as they mature, burying them until the supply is gone. During the spring and summer the squirrels also eat insects, buds, green shoots, fruits, and seeds."

"text": "\"California Ground Squirrels Otospermophilus beecheyi Named for Frederick William Beechey, who explored much of Northern California in 1826-28 as captain of His Majesty's Ship Blossom, this squirrel is also sometimes called the Beechey Ground Squirrel. Description: Gray, light brown and dusky fur are mixed to give the California Ground Squirrel's upperparts a mottled appearance. A band of slightly darker fur, flecked with light gray, extends from the head over the middle of the back. Gray fur forms a cape over the sides of the head and shoulders. This gray cape may have a protective function, breaking up the animal's body outline and making it more difficult for a predator to spot. Light buff or grayish yellow fur covers the undersides. Whitish fur rings the eyes and perhaps protects the squirrel's eyes from too intense sunlight. Black fur edges the outer rims of the ears. The tail, five to seven inches long and more than half the length of the head and body, is covered with mixed yellowish gray and black hairs and is lighter on the underside. Generally, California Ground Squirrels measure between sixteen and nineteen inches total length."

"text": "Part 1 Preparing for the Hunt1 Obtain a small game license. Squirrels are categorized as small game in most states (interestingly they are classed as vermin in the UK) and are therefore subject to the statutes pertaining to small game hunting. Obtaining a small game license in any given state usually entails filling out a form with your address, a driver’s license number, and other information, as well as paying a small fee. Though small game licenses aren’t usually as regulated, many states only grant a specific number of certain license types each year, so you may want to pay attention to the date your state begins accepting license applications for the year. For any questions you have regarding licensing, seasons, limits, etc. contact the proper governing body in your state. Each state’s hunting regulatory department goes by a different designation as well. For instance, in Nevada, it is the Nevada Department of Wildlife, [2] whereas New York’s equivalent is the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. [ 3]2 Research what squirrels you can hunt. Many states additionally regulate the specific breeds of squirrel you can hunt in any given season."

Here is an A to Z guide to the deadly diseases your pets can catch from pests—with suggestions for disease prevention. Distemper Distemper kills more dogs than any other disease. About 5 to 15 days after a dog is exposed to the distemper virus, it develops a runny noses, mucus-filled eyes, and general lack of appetite and energy. Thick, gooey, yellow mucus are the classic signs of distemper and sign that you need to take your dog to the vet right away. Distemper may also cause diarrhea, dry cough, and blisters on the dog’s stomach. If your dog has a healthy immune system, he or she may survive the first stage of distemper and go on to lead a healthy life. If your dog has an overactive immune system, however, several months later immune reactions to the virus may affect the brain, causing drooling, slobbering, and seizures. The dog may also develop redness and inflammation around the eyes, pneumonia, and thickened paw pads."

"text": "Wildlife Education - Information, Advice, and Techniques for the Safe Removal of Squirrels from Attics Squirrel Diseases and Health Risks Are Squirrels A Health Risk To Humans? Contrary to popular belief squirrels do not pose much of a health risk to humans. Anecdotal evidence may suggest that humans can catch rabies from squirrels, but, this is not confirmed by any reputable research. One of the ways squirrels may be a health risk is because of their droppings. In common with other rodents squirrels take a spray approach with both their feces and urine which may pose the risk of salmonella infection to anyone coming into contact with it. Once you have successfully dealt with your squirrel infestation it is essential that you undertake a deep clean of the whole area used by the rodents – this may also involve replacing any insulation materials. The primary squirrel health risk is linked to ticks and fleas which squirrels tend to be infested with. Ticks carry the danger of tick fever and, once carried into your home by squirrels, may also infest your household pets. Fleas are also associated with squirrels and may also take up residence in your family pet – and once a flea or tick infestation has begun it is notoriously difficult to get rid of as these microscopic insects take up residence in carpets, soft furnishings and furniture. Rabies Although any warm-blooded mammal (that's all mammals, by the way) can get rabies, some animals just aren't really very susceptible, nor are they common vectors of the disease (likely to spread it)."

These furry creatures know how to work hard, gathering nuts and seeds throughout the spring and summer months in order to prepare a nice, tidy stash for the cooler months to follow; but they know how to play hard, too. They will chase each other and frolic in your backyard jumping from limb to limb in seeming death-defying feats of bravery which can be quite amusing to observe. However, when these furry little pests decide to infiltrate your eaves, they can be quite destructive and even dangerous. The most important thing that you must realize about squirrels is that they are rodents. And as members of the rodent family, they have front incisors that never stop growing. This is the reason for their need to gnaw incessantly. They must maintain a healthy length to those teeth in order to eat and survive. This lifelong habit of teething means that they will use anything they can as a teething ring, including the support beams, insulation, pipes, and wires inside your home."

The term is most often used for the medium-sized ground squirrels, as the larger ones are more commonly known as marmots (genus Marmota) or prairie dogs, while the smaller and less bushy-tailed ground squirrels tend to be known as chipmunks.

Well-known members of this largely Holarctic group are the marmots ( Marmota ), including the American groundhog, the chipmunks, the susliks ( Spermophilus ), and the prairie dogs ( Cynomys ). They are highly variable in size and habitus, but most are remarkably able to rise up on their hind legs and stand fully erect comfortably for prolonged periods. They also tend to be far more gregarious than other squirrels, and many live in colonies with complex social structures. Most Marmotini are rather short-tailed and large squirrels, and the alpine marmot ( Marmota marmota) is the largest living member of the Sciuridae, at 53–73 cm in length and weighing 5–8 kg. The chipmunks of the genus Tamias frequently spend time in trees. Also closer to typical squirrels in other aspects, they are occasionally considered a tribe of their own (Tamiini). ["

It is not an easy thing to take care of! The problem is that there are almost always baby squirrels in the attic, along with an adult female. The young are helpless in a nesting area of the attic for the first 6 weeks of life, and can't be trapped. They must be removed by hand - you or the wildlife technician you hire must go into the attic and remove the babies by hand. If you wait longer than 6 weeks after birth, then the young are almost adult sized, and run all around just like the mother squirrel, in which case they can be trapped and removed or excluded all the same way. In the below photo you see some 1-week old squirrels in an attic nest, and then some 7-week old squirrels. They grow quickly! We now service over 500 locations!

Overview Chipmunks, or tamias (meaning \"\"storer\"\"), are a type of rodent related to the squirrel family. Easily identified by their small stature -- much smaller than the average squirrel but larger than a mouse -- with a striped coat, dark eyes, bushy tail and fat cheeks, these rodents dart across lawns and sidewalks in the summer scavenging for food to be stored in underground burrows. In winter, they enter a near-hibernation state, awakening only to eat stored food. Eastern Chipmunk If you live in the eastern United States or southeastern Canada, chances are you've seen the eastern chipmunk. These chipmunks are usually 5 to 6 inches long -- but can get as tall as 11 inches -- and weigh 2.5 to 4.5 ounces. They have a brownish-red coat, two white stripes above and below their eyes, and brown and white stripes down their backs.

"text": "LOOKING AFTER SQUIRRELS - FACTSHEETSIt is vital not to feed a young squirrel until it is warm to the touch. If necessary, see WARMTH AND REHYDRATIONAssuming that your baby squirrel is warm and not dehydrated, it will need feeding as soon as possible. Basically, the younger the squirrel, the less time it can survive without milk. Tiny babies less than 2 weeks old (pinkies) are especially vulnerable. The baby will need feeding with substitute milk, (see recipe at end of this section) regularly throughout the day, using a pipette, or a syringe with the needle removed. Allow the baby to determine the speed of the feeding. Initially, the baby may take a few minutes to get used to feeding this way. Gently offer a drop by perhaps lifting the baby’s lip and putting a drop in the mouth. Be careful to allow baby to swallow at its own speed, as it is easy to feed too quickly and milk can enter the lungs, which can prove fatal. We advise feeding every 2 hours from dawn to dusk, although once the babies reach 5-6 weeks, every 3 to 4 hours will suffice."

There are a few exceptions like the flying squirrel. The flying squirrel will eat small birds, insects and definitely steal eggs from birds nest in order to make a meal. Generally speaking though, squirrels will mainly stick to things that are vegetarian related. The main diet of squirrels is: nuts, seeds, fruits, lichens, buds, mushrooms, roots, pine cones, leaves, twigs, bark, black walnuts, oranges, avocados, apples, apricots. One of their favorites is definitely corn on the cob that is dried and hung up for them.

Because eggs are an animal byproduct, just like milk, many people catagorize eggs as dairy. However, dairy is very specifically designated as the byproduct of the mammary glands of mammals like cows or goats. Essentially dairy is any milk or milk-made product, such as butter or ice-cream.

There are more than a hundred types of gophers, and they include the pocket gopher which is also known as the “true” gopher. They are small with a length of 15 inches and weigh only 230 grams. They live for two to three years. They are diggers and live in tunnels which they turn into a large community of tunnels."

"text": "\"There has been some research on what desert tortoises eat in the wild. The list of foods they consume is quite long--too long for this article, which is more geared towards feeding these creatures in captivity, not the wild (see the links near the end of the article for specific food ideas). However, the list of native foods these tortoises eat does teach us some things about their diet. One is that it is extremely varied (over 200 species of plant consumed), and it also varies significantly over range (some foods exist in some locations, but not in others). It also tells us there is a LOT of fiber in tortoise food, along with a LOT of calcium. There is also a pretty low level of protein in their diets (though some foods do contain quite a bit of protein), and there is absolutely not any dog food or iceberg lettuce in a native tortoise diet (unlike what this poor tortoise to the right here is eating in a local nature preserve). Studies also tell us most of these foods are not available year-round, or often no more than a few weeks or so, so diet changes are a yearly or even monthly experience for most wild desert tortoises. But one thing these studies do NOT tell us is if all the foods these animal naturally consume on their own are actually good for them. There are a number of well-known toxic plants on the food items desert tortoises naturally consume. Do we assume then that these food items are okay for tortoises, or that they are acceptable errors… or that tortoises are simply opportunists and eat whatever comes along their way?"

Squirrels are mainly vegetarians When it comes to squirrels, there are a lot of things that these little critters will eat that make gardeners hate them. Not only are squirrels one of the most hated creatures in the rodent family because of their diet but they are also one of the cutest looking rodents! Squirrels have been an annoyance to many gardeners for centuries and if you are interested in exactly what do squirrels eat, that is what we are going to explore in this article!Most squirrels are vegetarians. There are a few exceptions like the flying squirrel. The flying squirrel will eat small birds, insects and definitely steal eggs from birds nest in order to make a meal. Generally speaking though, squirrels will mainly stick to things that are vegetarian related. The main diet of squirrels is: nuts, seeds, fruits, lichens, buds, mushrooms, roots, pine cones, leaves, twigs, bark, black walnuts, oranges, avocados, apples, apricots. One of their favorites is definitely corn on the cob that is dried and hung up for them. Squirrels are not picky eaters at all and they will pretty much consume anything that is in front of them as long as it tastes good, this is especially true when it comes to flower bulbs!Now that we have explored exactly what a squirrel eats, let’s go ahead and explore why exactly gardeners hate these adorable creatures so much."

Ishaq | 25 , Jun 2014 | Mammals Ask/Tell About This Mammals Fox Diet Being omnivorous animals, foxes eat meat of birds, and mammals, like rabbits, squirrels and mice, as well as they consume a wide variety of vegetation including grasses, berries, fruits, and so on. However, different species give preference to one diet over the other and sometimes environmental factors also contribute to the selection of diet for these cunning and alert-looking creatures. If you are a staunch animal lover and want to domesticate fox as pet animal, you must be having a bit 'know-how' of what do foxes eat. Here follows a brief description of different kinds of diets for foxes eaten by different species: What Do Red Foxes Eat? Red fox is the most abundant member of the Carnivora and the largest of all the true fox species, with its distribution throughout the entire northern hemisphere ranging from the Arctic Circle to Asia, North Africa and Central America. For its diet, this beautiful organism depends on small rodents and other animals, such as leopard, invertebrates, young ungulates, reptiles and game birds. In addition to the meat and highly protein-rich diet, they have also been found feeding on fruits and different kinds of vegetable matter. Quite interestingly, on one hand, the red foxes kill small predators while, on the other hand, they themselves are susceptible to fatal attack from the large predators, including felines, golden jackals, coyotes and wolves.

It’s easy to forget that most of the developed world assumes meat is inherently unhealthy – for our health, for the environment, and for animals. It’s easy to forget these things because, as Primal Blueprinters, we’re immersed in the literature and are actively involved in what we eat. To that end we understand that man evolved eating meat, that meat is an important part of a healthy human diet, and that meat production doesn’t have to be the unsustainable, industrialized monster it’s mostly become (and which rightly garners the most negative press)."

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Animals and Nature The 21 Basic Mammal Groups Share Flipboard Email Printby Bob Strauss Updated October 27, 2017Classifying a family of vertebrates as broad and diverse as mammals is a notoriously difficult undertaking: different people have different views about what constitutes orders, superorders, clades, cohorts, and all the other confusing terms biologists use when untangling the branches of the tree of life.01of 21Aardvarks (Order Tubulidentata)Getty Images The aardvark is the only living species in order Tubulidentata. This mammal is characterized by its long snout, arched back and coarse fur, and its diet consists primarily of ants and termites, which it procures by tearing open insects nests with its long claws. Aardvarks live in the savannas, woodlands and grasslands of sub-Saharan Africa, their range extending from southern Egypt to the Cape of Good Hope, on the southernmost tip of the continent. The closest living relatives of the aardvark are even-toed hoofed mammals and (somewhat surprisingly) whales!02of 21Armadillos, Sloths and Anteaters (Order Xenarthra)Getty Images Originating in South America about 60 million years ago, only five million years after the dinosaurs had gone extinct, xenarthrans are characterized by their oddly shaped vertebrae (hence their name, Greek for \"\"strange joint.\"\") The sloths, armadillos and anteaters that belong to this order also have the most sluggish metabolisms of any extant mammals, and the males have internal testicles. Today, xenarthrans lurk on the fringes of the mammalian mainstream, but during the Cenozoic Era, they were some of the largest animals on earth: witness the five-ton prehistoric sloth Megatherium, as well as Glyptodon, the two-ton prehistoric armadillo.03of 21Bats (Order Chiroptera)Wikimedia Commons The only mammals capable of powered flight, bats are represented by about a thousand species divided into two main families: megabats and microbats. Also known as flying foxes, megabats are about the size of squirrels, and eat only fruit; microbats are much smaller, and enjoy more varied diets, ranging from the blood of grazing animals to insects to the nectar of flowers. Most microbats, but very few megabats, have the ability to echolocate--that is, bounce high-frequency sound waves off their surroundings in order to navigate dark caves and tunnels.04of 21Carnivores (Order Carnivora)Wikimedia Commons The order of mammals without which no TV nature documentary would be complete, carnivores are divided into two broad categories: feliforms and caniforms. Feliforms include not only obvious felines (like lions, tigers, cheetahs and house cats), but also hyenas, civets and mongooses, while caniforms extend beyond dogs and wolves to also include bears, foxes, raccoons, and numerous other hungry critters, including the classic pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, and walruses). As you may already have surmised, carnivores are characterized by their sharp teeth and claws; they're also equipped with at least four toes on each foot.05of 21Colugos (Order Dermoptera)Wikimedia Commons Never heard of colugos?"

"text": "\"\"\"What day is it? Where am I? \"\" Photo by Kaisa Siren/AFP/Getty Images Bears hibernate. They spend all year eating salmon, blueberries, and picnic baskets and then, sometime around baseball playoffs, they all wander off to a cave full of treasure and explorers’ skulls where they curl up in a big furry ball and snore away the winter. Everybody knows this! Even small children too young to attend to their own biological functions know how these wild animals make it through a period of harsh weather and food shortage. But beyond the fact that bears den up in winter, what do we really know of these lumbering slumber beasts and the secrets they keep beneath the ice and snow? Let’s start with this bit of housekeeping—cursory Googling of bears and hibernation will lead you to all sorts of trash talk saying bears aren’t “true hibernators.” True hibernators, such as Arctic ground squirrels, are capable of dropping their body temperatures below the freezing point of water, conditions so cold that neurons in the brain’s cortex are physically incapable of firing. Not to mention you can do all sorts of awful things to true hibernators while they slumber—like, oh, I don’t know, locking marmots in airtight jars filled with carbonic acid and hydrogen. ("

"text": "Each and every year U. S. citizens have to file taxes with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). When you work for an employer, tax season is rather simple and straightforward. Your employer deducts taxes from your weekly paychecks and, at the end of the year, provides you with a W-2 telling you how much money you made and how much of that money went to the government. That information is then used to file your taxes with the IRS. Tax season isn't so simple and straightforward for Social Security Disability beneficiaries, but it doesn't have to be a financial nightmare. If you have begun receiving payments from the Social Security Administration (SSA), the following information will help you get through the upcoming tax season and will help you understand how to file your IRS tax return. Taxable Amount The first thing you need to understand is that Social Security Disability payments aren't always taxable. If you do not make more than $25,000 a year and file as an individual or your household income is less than $32,000 per year and you file jointly, you will not have to pay taxes on your Social Security Disability benefits. If your income exceeds those limits, a portion of your disability payments may indeed be taxable. The bad news is that, you may have to pay taxes on your disability benefits if your income exceeds a certain amount."

If I receive benefits, will I have to pay income taxes for the disability benefits I receive? Perhaps. Social Security disability benefits and retirement benefits are treated the same for income tax purposes. SSI benefits are not normally subject to income tax. Your taxes will also depend on your other income, credit deductions, and filing status. How should I handle income taxes on my retroactive lump sum payment of disability benefits? Social Security is required to send each benefit recipient an SSA-1099 by February 1 of the following year, specifying how much of the Social Security benefit received in the lump sum was really a payment for some prior year or years.

This article examines the trust fund reserves and cash flows and their interrelationships with the Treasury's cash management operations and the budget of the rest of the federal government. Although some observers view the trust fund reserves and interest income as accounting fictions, a careful tracing of the cash flows reveals that the reserves and their interest earnings are, for all practical purposes, as real as those of any bank account. In addition, an examination of the long-term constraints facing the trust funds and the federal budget clarifies that under the Social Security system's self-financing framework, an improvement in trust fund finances will not relieve the accumulated debt commitments of the rest of the federal government.

"text": "Report Social Security Time to Raise Social Security’s Retirement Age November 22, 2010 24 min read Download Report David John Former Senior Research Fellow in Retirement Security and Financial Institutions David is a former Senior Research Fellow in Retirement Security and Financial Institutions. Copied Select a Section 1 /0Abstract: Americans are living longer, which means they are spending a higher proportion of their lives in retirement, receiving Social Security payments. Yet the government program is a mere five years away from being unable to pay out all of the claims it has promised. Because today’s retirees enjoy longer lives and better health, both Social Security retirement ages (“normal” and “early eligibility”) must be increased. It is common sense, and it is fair. While the retirement ages must be increased, this alone is not change enough to provide a secure future for today’s younger workers. A higher retirement age should be part of a whole package of Social Security reforms, including ending the payroll tax for workers willing to work past their normal retirement age. Heritage Foundation retirement and economic policy expert David C. John explains. As Social Security reaches its 75th birthday, the program is beginning to show signs of age. While it remains a major source of retirement income for millions of Americans, Social Security is running a significant cash flow deficit for the first time in several decades. ["

"text": "401k early withdrawal exemption - spouse disability/medical expenses…My wife was awarded SS Disability in 2005. She had not been able to work for several years. Disability was eff. back to sometime in 2003 ($2157), 2004 ($8,808) and $9,048 total in 2005. We had $10,539 medical expenses in 2004 and $9,228 in 2005, and had some debt run up as a result of her not being able to work. Prior to her award of SSDI, I made a 401k early withdrawal of $50,000 (less 20% tax) to pay medical expenses and bills off. Can we qualify for an exemption to the 10% penalty on the 401k early withdrawal? My adjusted gross income would be $73,262 without the 401k and SSDI. If you don't figure in the 401k funds into our AGI, I would qualify also to deduct a portion of our 2005 medical expenses with my itemized deductions. Is that proper to figure it that way?"

"text": "\"Are Social Security Disability Benefits Taxable? The simple answer to this is that Social Security disability benefits are taxable. However, you \"\"may or may not\"\" have to pay tax on your disability benefits. Social Security issues a miscellaneous SSA 1099 for disability benefits paid each year. The two potential types of Social Security disability benefits that are taxable are: A) Monthly disability benefit payments and B) Lump-sum back payments of disability benefits. How much of your disability benefits will be taxable depends on the total amount of your Social Security disability benefits and any other income. Currently, your Social Security disability benefits may be taxable if your total income exceeds $25000.00 as an individual, or $32000.00 for a couple. Lump sum payments of retroactive disability benefits can be a little more tricky since they often involve payment for years prior to the year you receive your SSA 1099. Conventional wisdom seems to indicate that it is easier to just claim all the lump sum back payment in the year that you receive the payment rather than filing amended returns for any previous years. The IRS publication 915 deals with Social Security benefit taxation and provides useful worksheets to help you figure out if your Social Security disability benefits are taxable."

Eligibility and benefit amounts are determined in part by household income. For premium tax credits, most categories of Medicaid eligibility, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), states and the federal government use a new tax-based measure of income called Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) to assess financial eligibility. The following questions and answers explain MAGI and what counts as income in determining eligibility for premium tax credits, Medicaid, and CHIP.↓ Download PDFHow do marketplaces, Medicaid, and CHIP measure a person’s income? For premium tax credits, most categories of Medicaid eligibility, and CHIP, all marketplaces and state Medicaid and CHIP agencies determine a household’s income using MAGI. States’ previous rules for counting income continue to apply to people who qualify for Medicaid on the basis of age or disability, or because they are children in foster care. MAGI is Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) plus tax-exempt interest, Social Security benefits not included in gross income, and excluded foreign income. Each of these items has a specific tax definition; in most cases they can be located on an individual’s tax return (see Figure 1). ( Medicaid does not count certain Native American and Alaska Native income in MAGI. ) FIGURE 1: Formula for Calculating Modified Adjusted Gross Income Note: An applicant’s most recent tax return can be useful in estimating income if their income has not changed."

"text": "\"A: The average Social Security disability benefit amount for a recipient of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) in 2018 is $1,197 per month, but a beneficiary can receive either less than this or up to $2,788. These benefits are based on average lifetime earnings, not on household income or how severe the individual's disability is. If you've kept your annual Social Security statement, you can find what you are likely to receive in the Estimated Benefits section. The total amount a disabled worker and his or her family can receive is about 150% to 180% of the disabled worker's benefit. Eligible family members can include a spouse, divorced spouse, children, a disabled child and/or an adult child disabled before age 22. What Are Social Security Disability Benefits? Social Security disability benefits come from payroll deductions required by the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) to cover the cost of Social Security benefits such as retirement, spousal and survivors' benefits. Some of this funding goes into the Disability Insurance Trust Fund and pays for disability benefits. According to the Social Security website, to qualify for Social Security disability benefits, you must have worked a certain length of time in jobs covered by Social Security. Generally, you need 40 credits, 20 of which were earned in the last 10 years, ending with the year you became disabled."

No part of the lump-sum death benefit is subject to tax. When figuring the taxable portion of social security benefits, two options are available for lump-sum benefit payments: The first option allows the taxpayer to report the whole payment in the year it was received. When the taxpayer chooses this option, complete the Social Security Benefits Worksheet as usual by including the entire lump-sum payment on line 1. The second option is to treat the payment as received in the earlier year or years."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Medicine Is an antidepressant an agonist or antagonist?neuroanatomy.. Follow 2 answers Answers Best Answer: There are many classes of antidepressants and without knowing exactly which one you are talking about it is hard to answer. However in general non-MAOI antidepressants have fairly similar methods of actions. I will use Paxil (paroxetine), a SSRI, as an example. The effects of Paxil are a result of potentiation of serotonergic activity in the central nervous system resulting from inhibition of neuronal reuptake of serotonin (5-hydroxy-tryptamine, 5-HT). Studies at clinically relevant doses in humans have demonstrated that paroxetine blocks the uptake of serotonin into human platelets. In receptor binding studies, paroxetine did not exhibit significant affinity for the adrenergic (α1, α2, β), dopaminergic (D2), serotonergic (5HT1, 5HT2), or histaminergic (H1) receptors of rat brain membrane. A weak affinity for the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor was evident. The predominant metabolites of paroxetine are essentially inactive as 5-HT reuptake inhibitors. Basically most antidepressants don't actually act as agonists or antagonists of various neurotransmitters, instead antidepressants shut off the transport that allows various monoamines (serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine) to go back into the presynaptic cell, where it is stored. Since the neurotransmitter can't go back into \"\"storage\"\" there is an accumulation in the synapse which increases receptor binding."

Even supplements do have side effects. Read on to find out the side effects of 5 HTP. What is 5 HT?5 HT (5-hydroxytryptamine) is also known as serotonin. It is a neurotransmitter synthesized in the body from the amino acid, tryptophan which is then converted to 5 HTP or 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan. Serotonin is mostly found in the gut, platelets and central nervous system.90% of the serotonin produced in the body is found in a group of cells occupying the gastrointestinal tract called enterochromaffin cells. In the gut, serotonin controls the movement of the intestines. Some of the serotonin secreted from these specialized gastrointestinal cells move into the blood and is stored in platelets. When platelets bind to clots, they release serotonin which then constricts blood vessels promoting clotting and healing. The rest of the serotonin naturally secreted in the body is found in serotonergic neurons of the central nervous system where it acts as a neurotransmitter for regulating mood, sleep and appetite as well as contributing to memory and learning.5 HT Receptors5 HT receptors refers to a family of 7 related receptors each with subtypes."

To discontinue therapy in patients taking 40 mg/day, taper dose to 20 mg once daily for 4 days, then 10 mg once daily for 3 days; to discontinue therapy in patients taking 20 mg/day, taper dose to 10 mg once daily for 7 days. Evidence supporting ideal taper rates is limited. APA and NICE guidelines suggest tapering therapy over at least several weeks with consideration to the half-life of the antidepressant; antidepressants with a shorter half-life may need to be tapered more conservatively. In addition for long-term treated patients, WFSBP guidelines recommend tapering over 4 to 6 months. If intolerable withdrawal symptoms occur following a dose reduction, consider resuming the previously prescribed dose and/or decrease dose at a more gradual rate (APA 2010; Bauer 2002; Haddad 2001; NCCMH 2010; Schatzberg 2006; Shelton 2001; Warner 2006)."

These receptors are also known as 5-HT receptors and they are activated by the neurotransmitter Serotonin. Serotonin (5-HT, 5-Hydroxytryptamine) is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that is linked to feelings of happiness and contentment. When levels of this neurotransmitter are low, symptoms of depression or anxiety may occur, as well as over-eating, irritation, and poor sleep patterns. Seven different Serotonin receptor subtypes have been identified. They are numbered 5-HT1 through 5-HT7 and they are distributed throughout the body, intestinal tract, and central nervous system. Ninety percent of the Serotonin found in the body is located in the enterochromaffin cells in the GI tract. Serotonin receptor locations in the gut are used to regulate digestion and intestinal muscle contractions. However, most Serotonin receptor agonist drugs and supplements target the receptors located in the brain which are involved in mood regulation.5-HTPSerotonergic Supplement Mood Sleep Weight Loss How It Works: Increases Serotonin levels in the brain Enhances mood and alleviates stress Improves sleep and regulates appetite Dosage: Between 50 - 250 mg per day Safety: Generally Well Tolerated Top Serotonin Boosters ❯ View User Ratings ❯Serotonin Receptors Related Topics What is Serotonin Functions & Roles Effects & Benefits Serotonin Deficiency Serotonin and Depression Serotonin for Sleep Serotonin and Anxiety Serotonin for Weight Loss Serotonin Boosters How to Increase Serotonin Best Food Sources Natural Precursors Supplements Review Side Effects Withdrawal Symptoms When Serotonin is released in the brain (or elsewhere in the body), it can bind to Serotonin receptors located on neurons that it comes in contact with.

"text": "This article is for Medical Professionals In this article Epidemiology Presentation Examination Differential diagnosis Investigations Management Complications Prognosis Prevention The term serotonin syndrome (SS) has been used since 1991 following a review of a case series by Sternbach. [ 1] Also known as serotonin toxicity, this is is an adverse drug reaction to serotonergic agents, ie 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) agonists. It can occur as a consequence of normal therapeutic drug use, self-poisoning or drug interactions. [ 2] The syndrome is the consequence of excessive stimulation of the central nervous system and peripheral serotonin receptors. There is a wide spectrum of illness ranging from barely noticeable minor symptoms such as tremor, through to life-threatening acute illness. [ 3]The syndrome is not widely recognised amongst clinicians. A failure to appreciate the syndrome means that mild cases may be overlooked; continuing or increasing the offending drug can cause progression to severe illness. [ 3] It is underdiagnosed due to the heterogeneity of its presentation, because there are evolving diagnostic criteria, a lack of awareness amongst prescribers and mistaking of the symptoms for features of a pre-existing psychiatric illness. It should not be confused with the neuroleptic malignant syndrome. [ 4]There is some controversy about the pharmacology of SS. ["

"text": "\" [–] Doofangoodle 106 points 4 years ago *Dopamine and serotonin are both a type of chemical known as a neurotransmitter. There are many different types of neurotransmitter, and many different types of each type. The brain is made up of long cells known as neurons, which pass electrical currents from one to the next. In between each neuron is an extremely small gap called a synapse. In order to send the signal from one neuron to the next, the electrical signal needs to jump this gap - but it can't. In order to do this, the neuron sending the signal releases neurotransmitters into the synapse, which float across and bind to the receiving neuron. This then effects the activity of the receiving neuron, either by increasing or decreasing its electrical activity. If you are asking what is the function of serotonin or dopamine, it depends on where in the brain they are being released. Both chemicals are released in a wide variety of brain regions, and the effect of their release depends on the types of neurons and their wiring in those different regions. Dopamine is quite often tagged as the 'reward' chemical, because it is released in the 'reward pathway'."

[ 1] The degree of symptoms can range from mild to severe. [ 2] Symptoms include high body temperature, agitation, increased reflexes, tremor, sweating, dilated pupils, and diarrhea. [ 1] [2] Body temperature can increase to greater than 41.1 °C (106.0 °F). [ 2] Complications may include seizures and extensive muscle breakdown. [ 2]Serotonin syndrome is typically caused by the use of two or more serotonergic medications or drugs. [ 2] This may include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), amphetamines, pethidine (meperidine), tramadol, dextromethorphan, buspirone, L-tryptophan, 5-HTP, St. John's wort, triptans, ecstasy (MDMA), metoclopramide, ondansetron, or cocaine.

"text": "A Focus on Agomelatine – Mechanism of Action and Efficacy Posted on October 27, 2017Agomelatine is a novel and atypical antidepressant that acts as a melatonergic antidepressant and has a distinctly favourable side effect profile. The majority of antidepressant research for the past three decades has focused on increasing monoamine levels in the synaptic cleft. This can be achieved either by blocking reuptake, or blocking the breakdown, of synaptic monoamines. It is believed that monoamine-based antidepressants initiate adaptive neuronal changes through binding to monoamine receptors and/or monoamine transporters. Popular first-choice monoamine-based antidepressant drugs include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin–noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). These agents have replaced tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) drugs because of their improved efficacy and more favourable adverse-effect profile. However, SSRI and SNRI drugs only have modest efficacy with response rates reported at approximately 50% [1]. These drugs are also associated with common treatment-emergent adverse events including nausea, sexual dysfunction, weight gain, and insomnia all of which limits tolerability. MECHANISM OF ACTION OF AGOMELATINEAgomelatine is a melatonin receptor agonist and a serotonin receptor antagonist with a favourable side effect profile. There is a lack of sexual dysfunction, sleep benefits, and no discontinuation symptoms – all of which confer valuable clinical benefits in the treatment of depression [2]. Agomelatine exerts affinity for melatonin receptor subtypes, MT1 and MT2, and serotonergic 5-HT2C receptors [3]. Melatonergic effects: The melatonergic receptors, MT1 and MT2, are strongly associated with regulating circadian rhythms. The majority of MT1 receptors are located in the suprachiasmatic nuclei of the hypothalamus while MT2 receptors are mainly located in the retina."

Mirtazapine increases noradrenergic and serotonergic transmission, as measured by on-line microdialysis and by enhancement of noradrenergic locus ceruleus and serotonergic raphe nucleus cell firing. Mirtazapine has a low affinity for 5-HT1A receptors but shows 5-HT1A-agonistic-like effects in a conditioned taste aversion test and by causing lower lip retraction in rats. Mirtazapine therefore causes enhancement of 5-HT1-mediated transmission. Other studies show that both 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors are specifically blocked. The enhancement of both noradrenergic and serotonergic transmission probably underlies the therapeutic activity of mirtazapine. Blockade of 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors possibly prevents side effects associated with nonselective 5-HT activation and may also contribute to the anxiolytic and sleep-improving properties of mirtazapine.\"\" [ Abstract]Schittecatte M, Dumont F, Machowski R, Cornil C, Lavergne F, Wilmotte J.

Share Email Print Feedback Medication Summary Pharmacologic agents used for the treatment of migraine can be classified as abortive (ie, for alleviating the acute phase) or prophylactic (ie, preventive). Abortive medications include the following: Selective serotonin receptor (5-HT1) agonists (triptans)Ergot alkaloids Analgesics Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)Combination products Antiemetics Prophylactic medications include the following: Antiepileptic drugs Beta blockers Tricyclic antidepressants Calcium channel blockers Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)NSAIDs Serotonin antagonists Botulinum toxin Serotonin 5-HT-Receptor Agonists Class Summary Triptans are used as abortive medications for moderately severe to severe migraine headaches. These drugs are selective serotonin agonists, specifically acting at 5-hydroxytryptamine 1B/1D/1F (5-HT 1B/1D/1F) receptors on intracranial blood vessels and sensory nerve endings. The first combination product of a triptan and an NSAID was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in April 2008. The most common side effects of triptans are as follows:- Asthenia- Nausea/vomiting- Dizziness- Somnolence- Chest, throat, or jaw tightness/discomfort- Worsening of head pain (often transient)Drug interactions occur with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors (eg, ketoconazole, itraconazole, nefazodone, troleandomycin, clarithromycin, ritonavir, nelfinavir), which may increase toxicity, and with concurrent administration of ergot-containing drugs, which may increase vasospastic reactions. Zolmitriptan, eletriptan, and naratriptan are primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4. Sumatriptan (Imitrex, Sumavel Dose Pro, Alsuma, Onzetra, Sumavel, Zeculty, Zembrace View full drug information Sumatriptan has the most options for drug delivery. It is available in intranasal, subcutaneous, and oral formulations. The efficacy of sumatriptan is 82% at 20 minutes when administered by injection, 52-62% at 2 hours when administered intranasally, and 67-79% at 4 hours when administered orally. [ 132, 133, 134]Naratriptan (Amerge)View full drug information A selective agonist for serotonin 5-HT1 receptors, naratriptan has higher bioavailability and a longer half-life than sumatriptan, which may contribute to a lower rate of headache recurrences."

Learning how the cells and organs (like the brain) function, help us understand the biological basis behind human psychology. The nervous system is composed of two basic cell types: glial cells (also known as glia) and neurons. Glial cells, which outnumber neurons ten to one, are traditionally thought to play a supportive role to neurons, both physically and metabolically. Glial cells provide scaffolding on which the nervous system is built, help neurons line up closely with each other to allow neuronal communication, provide insulation to neurons, transport nutrients and waste products, and mediate immune responses. Neurons, on the other hand, serve as interconnected information processors that are essential for all of the tasks of the nervous system. This section briefly describes the structure and function of neurons. Neuron Structure Neurons are the central building blocks of the nervous system, 100 billion strong at birth. Like all cells, neurons consist of several different parts, each serving a specialized function ( [link] ). A neuron’s outer surface is made up of a semipermeable membrane."

"text": "\"Home » College Difference Between Subsidized & Unsubsidized Loansby Michael Keenan Subsidized loans are loans in which someone other than the borrower pays some or all of the interest on the loan. With an unsubsidized loan, the borrower is responsible for all of the interest. These loans are most commonly used to pay for college. With the rising cost of college tuition, more students and their families are turning to loans to finance their college education. Advantages of Subsidized Loans If you are offered a subsidized loan to help pay for college, that means that while you are in school the government will make interest-only payments on your loan. The government will continue to make these payments until you graduate or you stop attending school. If you take out an unsubsidized loan, you are responsible for the interest that accrues on your loan while you are in school. Subsidized Stafford Loans Stafford loans are backed by the federal government and can be either subsidized or unsubsidized. Loan offers are determined by the financial need of the student and his family based on their financial need. According to Fin Aid, two-thirds of the subsidized loans are given to students whose family's adjusted gross income is $50,000 or lower."

Dependent undergraduate students may borrow Stafford loans of up to the maximum amounts shown in the chart below. Independent students may borrow the same amounts in subsidized Stafford loans as dependent students, plus an additional $4,000 a year in the first two years of their academic program and $5,000 a year for the remainder of the program, though the unsubsidized Stafford loan program. Graduate and professional students are financially independent and can borrow up to $18,500 ($8,500 in subsidized Stafford and $10,000 in unsubsidized Stafford) per year. No student can borrow more money than the established cost of attendance at the school he or she attends. In addition to annual borrowing limits, there are cumulative limits. Dependent undergraduate students may borrow up to $23,000 during their education.

Dept. of Education · FAFSACost of attendance · Expected Family Contribution Distribution channels Federal Direct Student Loan Program Federal Family Education Loan Program Loan products Perkins · Stafford PLUS · Consolidation Loans Private student loans A Stafford Loan is a student loan offered to eligible students enrolled in accredited American institutions of higher education to help finance their education. The terms of the loans are described in Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (with subsequent amendments), which guarantees repayment to the lender if a student defaults. In 1988, Congress renamed the Federal Guaranteed Student Loan program the Robert T. Stafford Student Loan program, in honor of U. S. Senator Robert Stafford, a Republican from Vermont, for his work on higher education. [ 1]Because the loans are guaranteed by the full faith of the US government, they are offered at a lower interest rate than the borrower would otherwise be able to get for a private loan. On the other hand, there are strict eligibility requirements and borrowing limits on Stafford Loans. Students applying for a Stafford Loan or other federal financial aid must first complete a FAFSA. Stafford Loans are available to students directly from the United States Department of Education through the Federal Direct Student Loan Program (FDSLP, also known as Direct). No principal payments are expected on the loan while the student is in school enrolled at least half-time, referred to as in-school deferment. Deferment of repayment continues for six months after the student leaves school by graduating, dropping below half-time enrollment, or withdrawing, referred to as the grace period."

They are the most common student financial aid loans-they are GSL's (Guaranteed Student Loans) that are backed up by a federal guarantor. Default will lead to severe penalties and you are subject to Administrative Wage withholding (no judgment needed) and having state & Federal tax interception- SSI & SSID are subject to garnishments as well. They are non dischargeable through bankruptcy. There are many government programs to assist if default occurs. Perkins loans are Federal but are actually backed up by the University.

Armed with lower interest rates and better borrowing terms than private or alternative student loans, federal loans are often the saving grace of students who don’t land scholarships or grants. The problem with federal student loans is that many college students don’t understand them at all. Research by the nonprofit youth advocacy group Young Invincibles shows that nearly two-thirds of high-debt borrowers “misunderstood or were surprised by” aspects of their loans or the student loan process. As college students and parents review those financial aid award letters, here’s what they should know about the ins and outs of federal student loans. The 3 flavors of government loans The U. S. government offers three basic types of federal loans — Stafford loans for all students, Perkins loans for qualified low-income students, and PLUS loans for graduate, professional-degree students and parents of students attending school. Each program has its own eligibility requirements, interest rates and borrowing terms. But what they all have in common are fixed rates and government protection in case of financial hardship. They also come with multiple repayment options and the ability to postpone payments in cases of financial hardship."

"text": "\"Return to FAA/Educators History of Student Financial Aid This page provides a summary of events affecting student financial aid, including key Federal legislation.2010 The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (P. L. 111-152) was passed by the House and Senate on March 25, 2010 along party lines and signed into law by President Obama on March 30, 2010. The bill eliminates the federally-guaranteed student loan program (FFELP), with all new federal education loans made through the Direct Loan program starting July 1, 2010. The savings are redirected to the Pell Grant program, deficit reduction, improvements in income-based repayment and a variety of smaller programs. Most of the Pell Grant funding was used to backfill a funding shortfall from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (stimulus bill) and to make permanent the increased maximum Pell Grant from that legislation. The rest of the Pell Grant funding indexes the maximum Pell Grant to the Consumer Price Index for five of the ten years, with the maximum Pell Grant unchanged for the remaining five years. The legislation cuts the monthly payment under income-based repayment by one third from 15% of discretionary income to 10% of discretionary income, and accelerates the loan forgiveness from 25 years to 20 years, but only for new borrowers of new loans made on or after July 1, 2014.2009 The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was passed by the House and Senate on February 13, 2009 largely along party lines. The bill includes a $500 increase in the maximum Pell Grant (discretionary funding) for 2009-10, a $700 increase in the Hope Scholarship tax credit from $1,800 to $2,500 for 2009 and 2010 (along with partial 40%/$1,000 refundability, an increase from 2 years to 4 years and expanded income phaseouts), $200 million in additional Federal Work-Study funding and $200 million in Ameri Corps funding.2008 Congress finally reauthorized the Higher Education Act of 1965 after more than a dozen extension acts. The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (PL 110-315) added numerous new disclosure requirements including the Student Loan Sunshine Act. Other significant changes include veterans' education benefits will no longer be treated as a resource starting in 2010-11, expands the cohort default rate from a two-year to a three-year window, establishes three new up-front loan forgiveness programs, requires education lenders to report repayment status information to all national consumer credit reporting agencies, authorizes a simplified EZ FAFSA form, requires standardization of the financial aid award letter, and softens the 90/10 rule .2008 Congress passed the Ensuring Continued Access to Student Loans Act of 2008 (P. L. 110-227), known as ECASLA, to help avert a crisis in the FFEL program. This legislation allows the US Department of Education to buy unemcumbered Stafford and PLUS loans originated from 10/1/03 to 9/30/09."

If you’re not Beyonce-rich (a category all in it’s own), then you will probably need student loans. While the government is comfortable giving federal student loans to teenagers without a co-signer, banks are businesses, and they will not guarantee you a private student loan unless you meet some eligibility criteria. About 9 of 10 students who use private student loans will do so with the help of a cosigner - but don't fret, there are options for those without one. A cosigner is any creditworthy adult who is willing to accept responsibility for the loan should the primary borrower ( the student) fail to pay. Most often, parents act as the cosigner. However, cosigning comes with many risks for parents."

"text": "Staffordshire bull terriers are smaller than American pit bull terriers. Staffordshire bull terriers and American pit bull terriers -- commonly known as pit bulls -- may look similar at first glance, but they're two distinct breeds. Although both types of dogs sometimes get a bad rap, they can make loyal and loving pets if properly trained and socialized. A Head for Heights One of the most noticeable differences between these two breeds is that pit bulls are taller and heavier than Staffordshire bull terriers. American Kennel Club breed standards state that Staffies should stand between 14 and 16 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh between 24 and 38 pounds. United Kennel Club breed standards for American pit bull terriers say the breed should be roughly between 17 and 21 inches tall -- although taller is OK, as long as they remain in proportion -- and weigh between 35 and 60 pounds. Color Conundrums Although both Staffordshire bull terriers and American pit bull terriers should have short, smooth coats, the latter can come in many more colors. According to the UKC, pit bulls can be any color other than merle and exhibit any coat pattern. On the other hand, the only colors allowed by the AKC for Staffordshire bull terriers are white, red, fawn, blue, black or brindle. White markings are allowed with any of these colors."

"text": "Pit Bull, “pit bull”The ONLY true Pit Bull is the American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT). This is the only breed name with the words “Pit Bull” in it and thus is the only correct breed to abbreviate as such. As the Chow Chow is often abbreviated to “Chow” and the Doberman Pinscher is abbreviated to “Doberman”, the American Pit Bull Terrier is abbreviated to “Pit Bull”. It’s pretty easy to prove this is the case if you take a look at how other breeds are grouped with a common name. For example, all Labradors are part of the Retriever grouping yet not all Retrievers are Labrador Retrievers. When a dog breed is grouped, the name used to describe the group is determined by the word that is common to all the breeds in said grouping. This is one reason why it is incorrect to use “Pit Bull” as an umbrella term for breeds without “Pit Bull” in their full breed name but it is correct to say that the American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) or Pit Bull, is a Terrier. Some groups will use “pit bull” in lower case or in quotes when they are referring to dogs of a breed commonly mistaken for a true APBT. This tactic is employed to make it easy to describe a group of dogs that share some similar physical characteristics and are often targeted by Breed Specific Legislation. We feel this practice is both confusing and misleading and actually dangerous."

Below is a list of the most popular hybrid dogs. The best way to determine the traits of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in all breeds. The Dog Breed Info Center® does not attempt to interpret the temperaments of each individual hybrid mix because the differences in the dogs, even within the same litter, can vary greatly. If you do not feel the temperament of one of the purebreds in the mix is suited for your lifestyle, then that hybrid dog is not for you. Do not take a gamble that the puppy or dog will turn out like the other breed in the mix. Choosing a dog simply for its looks is a foolish way to choose a dog."

"text": "\"Dog Breeds American Bulldog Vs. Pit Bullby Lauren Corona\"\"Why do people keep calling me a bulldog? \"\" There's some confusion over the term \"\"pit bull\"\" as it's often used to refer to multiple breeds. American bulldogs are occasionally called pit bulls, but they're distinct from the pit bull type. American staffordshire terriers, American pit bull terriers and Staffordshire bull terriers all come under the pit bull umbrella. A Brief History Although the name pit bull refers to more than one breed, they all have the same origins. In fact, some breeders consider the American pit bull and the American Staffordshire terrier the same breed. The United Kennel Club registers American pit bulls whereas the American Kennel Club registers American Staffordshire terriers. However, an Am Staff registered with the AKC also can be registered as an American pit bull with the UKC and vice versa. Both these dogs and the Staffordshire bull terrier come from British lines, where they were developed by breeding various terriers to an archaic breed of bulldog."

The Pitbull Breed was initially bred in Britain as fighting dogs in cruel blood sports that often cause damage to their health or in some cases death. Eventually, when immigrants came to America, the focus and purpose of breeding Pitbull Breeds were directed in another direction. Homesteads of immigrants in America needed a reliable and strong protector. Since the various types of Pit Bull breeds they bought with them are already strong, they began producing for domestic purposes. The result is the current Pitbull Breed, who has come far from their blood sports origin. Today there are many types of Pitbull breeds to choose. Bear in mind that most people loosely use the term “Pitbull” for any dog that possesses the physical traits of Pitbull like bulky body and a square-shaped head.

At the cattle market, dogs were set upon bulls, purportedly towards tenderising the meat but actually to provide entertainment for the crowd. Blood sport with bears and other animals was organised as entertainment. The early bull and terrier types were not bred to resemble the breeds of today, but rather for the characteristic known as gameness, with the pitting of dogs against bear or bull; testing the strength and skill of the dogs. Landrace working dogs crossbred with bulldogs provided the ancestral foundation stock for the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. These bloodsports were officially eliminated in 1835 as Britain began to introduce animal welfare laws. Dog fighting involved gambling; dogs were released into a pit, and the last dog still fighting or surviving was recognised the winner. A dog fighting contest was cheaper to organise and easier to conceal from the law. The modern breed is one that has a temperament suitable as a companion dog."

"text": "Home | Dogs | Breeds | American Pit Bull Terrier | History and Health Pit Bull Terrier - History and Health Source: Pet Wave, Updated on July 16, 2015Introduction Appearance & Grooming History and Health Temperament & Personality Pictures History The Staffordshire Bull Terrier was developed in England from a cross between old-style English Bulldogs and assorted terriers. The exact terrier breeds used to create this cross are the subject of much debate, but current opinion suggests that some combination of the White English Terrier, the Black-and-Tan Terrier and/or the Fox Terrier contributed to the mix. The combination became known as the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, which originally were used by butchers to manage bulls and by hunters to help hold wild boar and other game. Eventually, the breed was used for the blood-sports of bull- and bear-baiting. After these “sports” were outlawed in England in the mid-1800s, dog fighting took their place. Dogs were forced to fight one another to the death in hidden arenas called “pits.” The Staffordshire Bull Terrier was highly successful in the fighting ring because of its tenacity, courage, stamina, strength and intelligence. Equally important was its loyal, non-aggressive and responsive nature with people; fighting dogs were expected to be obedient, trustworthy and easily handled by their owners at all times. Staffordshire Bull Terriers came to the United States in the mid-1800’s, and became known as the Pit Bull Terrier, the American Bull Terrier, the American Pit Bull Terrier and later the Yankee Terrier. The breed was the first to be recognized by the United Kennel Club, in 1898."

The SPCA Serving Erie County’s goal is to educate and bring awareness to this issue in our community. The Bred To Love program’s main purpose is to put an end to the myths surrounding this amazing and loving breed. Pit bull terriers are loyal happy go lucky dogs that just adore people and will make a wonderful addition to a family looking for their new pal,” said Lindsay Guiher, a volunteer at the shelter. According to Guiher, most of the dogs coming into the shelter are pit bulls who take longer to adopt than other breeds, which they suspect has to do with common myths surrounding the breed. Some of these myths include the beliefs that pit bulls have locking jaws and are more likely to bite than other breeds. To clear that first one up once and for all, pit bulls do not have any anatomical mechanism that would cause or allow their jaws to lock. No dog does. And while pit bulls still get a lot of bad press, they’re no more likely to bite someone than any other breed."

"text": "4 Evaluating standard uncertainty Additional guidance on evaluating uncertainty components, mainly of a practical nature, may be found in Annex F .4.1 Modelling the measurement4.1.1 In most cases, a measurand Y is not measured directly, but is determined from N other quantities X 1, X 2, ..., X N through a functional relationship f : (1)NOTE 1 For economy of notation, in this Guide the same symbol is used for the physical quantity (the measurand) and for the random variable (see 4.2.1 ) that represents the possible outcome of an observation of that quantity. When it is stated that X i has a particular probability distribution, the symbol is used in the latter sense; it is assumed that the physical quantity itself can be characterized by an essentially unique value (see 1.2 and 3.1.3 ). NOTE 2 In a series of observations, the k th observed value of X i is denoted by X i, k ; hence if R denotes the resistance of a resistor, the k th observed value of the resistance is denoted by R k. NOTE 3 The estimate of X i (strictly speaking, of its expectation) is denoted by x i. EXAMPLE If a potential difference V is applied to the terminals of a temperature-dependent resistor that has a resistance R 0 at the defined temperature t 0 and a linear temperature coefficient of resistance α, the power P (the measurand) dissipated by the resistor at the temperature t depends on V, R 0, α, and t according to NOTE Other methods of measuring P would be modelled by different mathematical expressions.4.1.2 The input quantities X 1, X 2, ..., X N upon which the output quantity Y depends may themselves be viewed as measurands and may themselves depend on other quantities, including corrections and correction factors for systematic effects, thereby leading to a complicated functional relationship f that may never be written down explicitly. Further, f may be determined experimentally (see 5.1.4) or exist only as an algorithm that must be evaluated numerically. The function f as it appears in this Guide is to be interpreted in this broader context, in particular as that function which contains every quantity, including all corrections and correction factors, that can contribute a significant component of uncertainty to the measurement result. Thus, if data indicate that f does not model the measurement to the degree imposed by the required accuracy of the measurement result, additional input quantities must be included in f to eliminate the inadequacy (see 3.4.2 ). This may require introducing an input quantity to reflect incomplete knowledge of a phenomenon that affects the measurand. In the example of 4.1.1 , additional input quantities might be needed to account for a known nonuniform temperature distribution across the resistor, a possible nonlinear temperature coefficient of resistance, or a possible dependence of resistance on barometric pressure. NOTE Nonetheless, Equation (1) may be as elementary as Y = X 1− X 2. This expression models, for example, the comparison of two determinations of the same quantity X.4.1.3 The set of input quantities X 1, X 2, ..., X N may be categorized as:quantities whose values and uncertainties are directly determined in the current measurement."

"text": "Propagation of Uncertainty Last updated May 26, 2016 1:47:00 PM PDT Share Contributed by David Harvey Professor (Chemistry and Biochemistry) at De Pauw University Table of contents In Chapter 4 we considered the basic mathematical details of a propagation of uncertainty, limiting our treatment to the propagation of measurement error. This treatment is incomplete because it omits other sources of uncertainty that influence the overall uncertainty in our results. Consider, for example, Practice Exercise 4.2, in which we determined the uncertainty in a standard solution of Cu 2 + prepared by dissolving a known mass of Cu wire with HNO 3, diluting to volume in a 500-m L volumetric flask, and then diluting a 1-m L portion of this stock solution to volume in a 250-m L volumetric flask. To calculate the overall uncertainty we included the uncertainty in the sample's mass and the uncertainty of the volumetric glassware. We did not consider other sources of uncertainty, including the purity of the Cu wire, the effect of temperature on the volumetric glassware, and the repeatability of our measurements. In this appendix we take a more detailed look at the propagation of uncertainty, using the standardization of Na OH as an example. Standardizing a Solution of Na OH 1Because solid Na OH is an impure material, we cannot directly prepare a stock solution by weighing a sample of Na OH and diluting to volume. Instead, we determine the solution's concentration through a process called a standardization. 2 A fairly typical procedure is to use the Na OH solution to titrate a carefully weighed sample of previously dried potassium hydrogen phthalate, C 8 H 5 O 4 K, which we will write here, in shorthand notation, as KHP. For example, after preparing a nominally 0.1 M solution of Na OH, we place an accurately weighed 0.4-g sample of dried KHP in the reaction vessel of an automated titrator and dissolve it in approximately 50 m L of water (the exact amount of water is not important)."

"text": "Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load What is 'Standard Deviation'Standard deviation is a measure of the dispersion of a set of data from its mean. It is calculated as the square root of variance by determining the variation between each data point relative to the mean. If the data points are further from the mean, there is higher deviation within the data set. In finance, standard deviation is a statistical measurement; when applied to the annual rate of return of an investment, it sheds light on the historical volatility of that investment. The greater the standard deviation of a security, the greater the variance between each price and the mean, indicating a larger price range. For example, a volatile stock has a high standard deviation, while the deviation of a stable blue-chip stock is usually rather low.

"text": "Standard deviation is a statistical value used to determine how spread out the data in a sample are, and how close individual data points are to the mean — or average — value of the sample. A standard deviation of a data set equal to zero indicates that all values in the set are the same. A larger value implies that the individual data points are farther from the mean value. In a normal distribution of data, also known as a bell curve, the majority of the data in the distribution — approximately 68% — will fall within plus or minus one standard deviation of the mean. For example, if the standard deviation of a data set is 2, the majority of data in the set will fall within 2 more or 2 less than the mean. Roughly 95.5% of normally distributed data is within two standard deviations of the mean, and over 99% are within three. To calculate the standard deviation, statisticians first calculate the mean value of all the data points. The mean is equal to the sum of all the values in the data set divided by the total number of data points. Next, the deviation of each data point from the average is calculated by subtracting its value from the mean value. Each data point's deviation is squared, and the individual squared deviations are averaged together."

"text": "\"A: Standard deviation is a mathematical measurement of average variance and features prominently in statistics, economics, accounting and finance. For a given data set, the standard deviation measures how spread out numbers are from an average value. Standard deviation can be calculated by taking the square root of the variance, which itself is the average of the squared differences of the mean. When it comes to mutual fund or hedge fund investing, analysts look to standard deviation more than any other risk measurement. By taking the standard deviation of a portfolio's annual rate of return, you can better measure the consistency with which returns are generated. Mutual funds with a long track record of consistent returns display a low standard deviation. Growth-oriented or emerging market funds, however, likely see more volatility and have a higher standard deviation, and therefore a larger degree of risk. The Consistency of Standard Deviation One of the reasons for the widespread popularity of standard deviation measurements is their consistency. Not only does \"\"one standard deviation from the mean\"\" represent the same thing whether you are talking about gross domestic product (GDP), crop yields or the height of dogs, but it is always calculated in the same units as the data set. You never have to interpret an additional unit of measurement resulting from the formula."

Standard Deviation and Standard Error are perhaps the two least understood statistics commonly shown in data tables.

Standard Deviation Standard Deviation (often abbreviated as \"\"Std Dev\"\" or \"\"SD\"\") provides an indication of how far the individual responses to a question vary or \"\"deviate\"\" from the mean. SD tells the researcher how spread out the responses are -- are they concentrated around the mean, or scattered far & wide?

The normal distribution, also called Gaussian distribution, is an extremely important probability distribution in many fields. It is a family of distributions of the same general form, differing in their location and scaleparameters: the mean (\"\"average\"\") and standard deviation (\"\"variability\"\"), respectively. The standard normal distribution is the normal distribution with a mean of zero and a standard deviation of one (the green curves in the plots to the right). It is often called the bell curve because the graph of its probability density resembles a bell. Contents [ show]Overview Edit The normal distribution is a convenient model of quantitative phenomena in the natural and behavioral sciences. A variety of psychological test scores have been found to approximately follow a normal distribution. While the underlying causes of these phenomena are often unknown, the use of the normal distribution can be theoretically justified in situations where many small effects are added together into a score or variable that can be observed. The normal distribution also arises in many areas of statistics: for example, the sampling distribution of the mean is approximately normal, even if the distribution of the population the sample is taken from is not normal."

Please provide numbers separated by comma to calculate.10,2,38,23,38,23,21Related Probability Calculator | Sample Size Calculator | Statistics Calculator Standard deviation in statistics, typically denoted by σ, is a measure of variation or dispersion (refers to a distribution's extent of stretching or squeezing) between values in a set of data. The lower the standard deviation, the closer the data points tend to be to the mean (or expected value), μ. Conversely, a higher standard deviation indicates a wider range of values. Similarly to other mathematical and statistical concepts, there are many different situations in which standard deviation can be used, and thus many different equations. In addition to expressing population variability, the standard deviation is also often used to measure statistical results such as the margin of error. When used in this manner, standard deviation is often called the standard error of the mean, or standard error of the estimate with regard to a mean. The calculator above computes population standard deviation and sample standard deviation, as well as confidence interval approximations. Population Standard Deviation The population standard deviation, the standard definition of σ, is used when an entire population can be measured, and is the square root of the variance of a given data set. In cases where every member of a population can be sampled, the following equation can be used to find the standard deviation of the entire population: Where x i is an individual value μ is the mean/expected value N is the total number of values For those unfamiliar with summation notation, the equation above may seem daunting, but when addressed through its individual components, this summation is not particularly complicated."

In the Extreme Optimization Numerical Libraries for .NET, numerical variables are implemented by the NumericalVariable class.Constructing numerical variablesNumerical variables can be constructed in a variety of ways. The NumericalVariable class has six constructors that come in three groups.The first group uses a Double array as the source of the data. The first variant has two parameters. The first is a string that specifies the name of the variable. The second parameter is a Double array. The second variant only takes one parameter: a Double array containing the data values.C# VB C++ F#Copydouble [] dataArray = new double [] {62, 77, 61, 94, 75, 82, 86, 83, 64, 84, 68, 82, 72, 71, 85, 66, 61, 79, 81, 73}; NumericalVariable variable1 = new NumericalVariable (dataArray); NumericalVariable variable2 = new NumericalVariable ( \"\"Data\"\", dataArray);The second group uses a Vector < T > as the source of the data. The first variant once again has two parameters. The first is a string that specifies the name of the variable. The second parameter is a Vector < T >. The second variant only takes one parameter: a Vector < T > containing the data values.C# VB C++ F#CopyVector dataVector = Vector.Create (dataArray); NumericalVariable variable3 = new NumericalVariable (dataVector); NumericalVariable variable4 = new NumericalVariable ( \"\"Data\"\", dataVector);The third group of constructors uses a System.Data. DataColumn as the source of the data. The first variant once again has two parameters. The first is a string that specifies the name of the variable. The second parameter is a System.Data. DataColumn. This values in the data column must be of a type that can be converted to a Double. If not, an System. InvalidCastException is thrown. The second variant only takes one parameter: a System.Data. DataColumn containing the data values. The name of the variable is set to the Caption property of the data column.C# VB C++ F#CopyDataColumn column; // Connect to a data source and retrieve the column from a DataTable NumericalVariable variable5 = new NumericalVariable (column); NumericalVariable variable6 = new NumericalVariable ( \"\"Data\"\", column);A number of static (Shared in Visual Basic) methods create numerical variables that span a range of numbers. The CreateRange method is overloaded. The first overload takes one integer argument that specifies a maximum value. It returns a NumericalVariable whose observations are the integers from 0 up to but not including the maximum value. The second overload takes two integer arguments that specify the minimum and maximum values. Once again, the maximum value is not included.The third overload takes three arguments. The first is the number of observations. The second and third arguments are real numbers that specify the lowest and highest value. This method returns a NumericalVariable containing the specified number of observations that are equally spaced between the lowest and highest value. In this case, the highest value is included.The CreateLogarithmicRange method also takes three arguments. The first is the number of observations. The second and third arguments are real numbers that specify the lowest and highest value. This method returns a NumericalVariable containing the specified number of observations whose logarithms are equally spaced between the lowest and highest value. This means that the ratio between two successive observations is a constant. The highest value is included.The following example creates two variables with 5 observations. The first contains the first five multiples of 1000. The second has a logarithmic scale and contains the first 5 powers of 10, starting with 0:C# VB C++ F#CopyNumericalVariable variable7 = NumericalVariable.CreateRange (5, 1000, 5000); NumericalVariable variable8 = NumericalVariable.CreateLogarithmicRange (5, 1, 10000);In addition, variables can be created by VariableCollection objects, by performing arithmetic operations on them (see below), and several other means.Descriptive StatisticsNumerical variables have the widest range of descriptive statistics available. The values are calculated as needed, and cached. For some values, the calculation may be lengthy. In this case, the value is returned by a method instead of a property. The following tables list the descriptive statistics that are available for numerical variables:Measures of LocationThe purpose of a measure of location is to provide a typical or central value to describe the data.Properties for measures of locationPropertyDescriptionMeanReturns the mean or average of all observations.MedianReturns the median.The median is the middle value of a sorted list of observations. If a variable has an even number of observations, then the median is the average of the two middle values.Methods for measures of locationMethodDescriptionGetGeometricMeanReturns the geometric mean of all observations.GetHarmonicMeanReturns the harmonic mean of all observations.GetMidMeanReturns the mean of the middle 50% of observations.GetTrimmedMeanReturns the mean of the observations after eliminating the specified percentage of extreme values.GetWinsorizedMeanReturns the mean of the observations after setting the specified percentage of extreme values to the lowest or highest value.The mid-mean is a special case of the trimmed mean. Providing a value of 100 for the percentage to the GetTrimmedMean method returns the median. The Winsorized mean is similar to the trimmed mean, but instead of eliminating the extreme values, they are set to the lowest or highest value. For example, for the 10% Winsorized mean, the 5% smallest values are set to equal the value at the 5% percentile, while the 5% largest values are set to equal the value at the 95% percentile.The examle below shows how to use some of the most common measures of location:C# VB C++ F#CopyConsole.WriteLine ( \"\"Mean: {0:F1}\"\", variable1.Mean); Console.WriteLine ( \"\"Median: {0:F1}\"\", variable1.Median); Console.WriteLine ( \"\"Trimmed Mean: {0:F1}\"\", variable1.GetTrimmedMean (10)); Console.WriteLine ( \"\"Harmonic Mean: {0:F1}\"\", variable1.GetHarmonicMean ()); Console.WriteLine ( \"\"Geometric Mean: {0:F1}\"\", variable1.GetGeometricMean ());Measures of ScaleMeasures of scale are used to characterize the spread or variability of a data set.Properties for measures of scalePropertyDescriptionVarianceReturns the unbiased variance of the data.PopulationVarianceReturns the variance of the data.StandardDeviationReturns the unbiased standard deviation of the data.StandardDeviationReturns the standard deviation of the data.RootMeanSquareReturns the root-mean-square.RangeReturns the difference between the largest and the smallest value.MinimumReturns the smallest value.MaximumReturns the largest value.The variance and the standard deviation are always the unbiased versions. To get the biased (population) standard deviation, use the RootMeanSquare property.Methods for measures of scaleMethodDescriptionGetAverageAbsoluteDeviationReturns the average absolute deviation from the mean.GetMedianAbsoluteDeviationReturns the median of the absolute deviation from the mean.GetInterQuartileRangeReturns the difference between the first and the third quartile.The average absolute deviation is the mean of the absolute difference between each value and the mean. Because it does not square the distance from the mean, it is less affected by extreme values. The median absolute deviation is the median of the absolute difference between each value and the mean. It is even less influenced by extreme values because the median is less affected by extreme values than the mean.The inter-quartile range is the difference between the 75% and the 25% percentile values. It is a measure of the variability of values close to the mean.The examle below shows some of these properties and methods:C# VB C++ F#CopyConsole.WriteLine ( \"\"Standard deviation: {0:F1}\"\", variable1.StandardDeviation); Console.WriteLine ( \"\"Variance: {0:F1}\"\", variable1.Variance); Console.WriteLine ( \"\"Range: {0:F1}\"\", variable1.Range); Console.WriteLine ( \"\"Inter-quartile range: {0:F1}\"\", variable1.GetInterQuartileRange ());Other properties and methodsThe remaining properties cover the higher moments (skewness and curtosis) and the raw sums:Other properties.PropertyDescriptionSkewnessReturns the unbiased skewness of the data.SkewnessReturns the skewness of the data.KurtosisReturns the unbiased kurtosis supplement of the data.KurtosisReturns the kurtosis supplement of the data.SumReturns the sum of all the elements.SumOfSquaresReturns the sum of the squares.The skewness is a measure for the lack of symmetry of the distribution of a variable. The kurtosis is a measure of the peakedness compared to the normal distribution. The Kurtosis property returns the kurtosis supplement, which is the difference between the 'real' kurtosis and the kurtosis of the normal distribution, which equals 3.CorrelationsSeveral measures of correlation are available. The GetCovariance method returns the covariance between two variables. The GetCorrelation method returns the Pearson correlation between two variables. The GetRankCorrelation method returns the Spearman rank correlation between two variables.Each of these methods has two variants. The first is an instance method that takes the second variable as its only argument. It compares the current instance with its argument. The second variant is a static (Shared in Visual Basic) method that takes two variables as arguments and computes the value for its two arguments.The GetAutocorrelation method returns the Pearson correlation of a variable with itself. An optional integer argument specifies the lag.Handling missing valuesBy default, missing values have the value Double.NaN. You can change this by setting the variable's MissingValue property.Missing values are ignored during the calculation of descriptive statistics. To force a different behavior, you must call the ReplaceMissingValues method. This method takes one or two parameters. The first is a MissingValueAction value that determines the action that is to be taken when a missing value is encountered. The options are summarized in the table below. The second, optional parameter is a replacement value, if one is required. It defaults to zero.MissingValueAction values.Member NameDescriptionMissing values are ignored.All missing observations are discarded.Missing values are ignored.Missing values are replaced with the value of the previous observation. If the first observation is missing, it is replaced with a user-specified value, or 0.Missing values are replaced with the value of the next observation. If the last observation is missing, it is replaced with a user-specified value, or 0.Missing values are replaced with a user-specified value, or 0.A MissingValueException is thrown.The IsMissing method indicates whether an observation is missing. Its only parameter is the index of the observation.Operations on Numerical VariablesNumerical variables can be combined using arithmetic operations to form new variables. The result of such an operation is a variable whose components equal the operation applied to the corresponding components of the operand (s).For languages that support operator overloading, the arithmetic operators, +, -, *, / have been overloaded. For languages that don't support operator overloading, static (Shared in Visual Basic) methods are provided.The operations are summarized in the following table:Numerical Variable operators and their static (Shared) method equivalentsOperatorStatic methodDescription+x (no equivalent)Returns the variable x.-xNegate (x)Returns the negation of the variable x.x + yAdd (x, y)Adds the variables x and y.x + aAdd (x, a)Adds the variable x and the real number a.a + xAdd (a, x)Adds the real number a to the variable x.x - ySubtract (x, y)Subtracts the variables x and y.x - aSubtract (x, a)Subtracts the real number a from the variable x.a - xSubtract (a, x)Subtracts the variable x from the real number a.x * yMultiply (x, y)Multiplies the variables x and y.x * aMultiply (x, a)Multiplies the variable x and the real number a.a * xMultiply (a, x)Multiplies the real number a and the variable x.x / yDivide (x, y)Divides the variable x by y.x / aDivide (x, a)Divides the variable x by the real number a.a / xDivide (a, x)Divides the real number a by the variable x.-Power (x, a)Raises the variable's observations to the power a.-Max (x, y)Selects the largest observation from the variables x and y.-Min (x, y)Selects the smallest observation from the variables x and y.The NumericalVariable class has a number of additional methods that may be useful. The Normalize method returns the variable rescaled to have a mean of zero and a standard deviation equal to one. The Apply method lets you apply any real function with one argument to each value of the variable. The result is a new variable. You can use this method to transform variables in preparation for a regression analysis.The following example prepares data for a fit of the functiony = ae bx 1+cx 2x 3.The dependent variable is transformed using the Math.Log method. A new variable, z, is created to hold the product of x 2 and x 3. This transforms the above function into a form suitable for multiple linear regression:log y = log a + bx 1 + cz.C# VB C++ F#CopyNumericalVariable Y, X1, X2, X3; // ... NumericalVariable logY = Y.Apply ( new RealFunction (Math.Log)); NumericalVariable Z = X2 * X3;Note that, because Visual Basic .NET (2003) does not support operator overloading, the shared Multiply method must be used.The Sort method sorts the observations. The order is ascending by default, but can be specified by passing a parameter of type SortOrder.Copyright (c) 2004-2015 ExoAnalytics Inc.Send comments on this topic to [email protected] © 2004-2018, Extreme Optimization.

"text": "\"Since the Sharpe ratio was derived in 1966 by William Sharpe, it has been one of the most referenced risk/return measures used in finance, and much of this popularity can be attributed to its simplicity. The ratio's credibility was boosted further when Professor Sharpe won a Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1990 for his work on the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). In this article, we'll break down the Sharpe ratio and the sum of its parts. The Sharpe Ratio Defined Most people with a financial background can quickly comprehend how the Sharpe ratio is calculated and what it represents. The ratio describes how much excess return you are receiving for the extra volatility that you endure for holding a riskier asset. Remember, you always need to be properly compensated for the additional risk you take for not holding a risk-free asset. We will give you a better understanding of how this ratio works, starting with its formula: S (x) = (r x - R f) / Std Dev (x)Where: X is the investmentr x is the average rate of return of XR f is the best available rate of return of a risk-free security (i.e. T-bills)Std Dev (x) is the standard deviation of r x Return (r x) The returns measured can be of any frequency (i.e. daily, weekly, monthly or annually), as long as they are normally distributed. Herein lies the underlying weakness of the ratio – not all asset returns are normally distributed. K urtosis, fatter tails and higher peaks, or skewness on the distribution can be problematic for the ratio, as standard deviation doesn't have the same effectiveness when these problems exist. Sometimes it can be downright dangerous to use this formula when returns are not normally distributed."

The symbol ‘Σ X i ’ represents the sum of all scores present in the population (say, in this case) X 1 X 2 X 3 and so on. The symbol ‘N’ represents the total number of individuals or cases in the population. Population Standard Deviation The population standard deviation is a measure of the spread (variability) of the scores on a given variable and is represented by:σ = sqrt [ Σ ( X i – μ ) 2 / N ]The symbol ‘σ’ represents the population standard deviation. The term ‘sqrt’ used in this statistical formula denotes square root. The term ‘Σ ( X i – μ ) 2 ’ used in the statistical formula represents the sum of the squared deviations of the scores from their population mean. Population Variance The population variance is the square of the population standard deviation and is represented by:σ 2 = Σ ( X i – μ ) 2 / NThe symbol ‘σ 2’ represents the population variance. Sample Mean The sample mean is the average score of a sample on a given variable and is represented by:x_bar = ( Σ x i ) / n The term “x_bar” represents the sample mean."

Standard deviation in this case is the level of volatility of returns measured in percentage terms, and usually provided on an annual basis. Standard deviation gives a good indication of the variability of annual returns and makes it easy to compare to other funds when combined with annual return data. For example, if comparing two funds with identical annualized returns, the fund with a lower standard deviation would normally be more attractive, if all else is equal. Unfortunately, and particularly when related to hedge funds, standard deviation does not capture the total risk picture of returns. This is because most hedge funds do not have normally distributed returns and standard deviation assumes a bell-shaped distribution, which assumes the same probability of returns being above the mean as below the mean. Figure 2: Standard Deviation Chart Most hedge fund returns are skewed in one direction or another and the distribution is not as symmetrical. For this reason, there are a number of additional metrics to use when evaluating hedge funds and, even with the additional metrics, some risks simply cannot be measured. Another measure that provides an additional dimension of risk is called value-at-risk (Va R). Va R measures the dollar-loss expectation that can occur with a 5% probability."

Normal distributions are important in statistics and are often used in the natural and social sciences to represent real-valued random variables whose distributions are not known. [ 1] [2] A random variable with a Gaussian distribution is said to be normally distributed and is called a normal deviate. The normal distribution is useful because of the central limit theorem. In its most general form, under some conditions (which include finite variance ), it states that averages of samples of observations of random variables independently drawn from independent distributions converge in distribution to the normal, that is, become normally distributed when the number of observations is sufficiently large."

"text": "Common Core Fact of the Day: Standards v. Curriculum June 03, 2013 • Kristy Campbell The number one question raised by parents and community members alike when it comes to Common Core is: What is the difference between standards and curriculum? Standards are expectations. For instance, we expect students to know that 2+2=4, and why. Curriculum is the program created by local school districts to teach students to learn that 2+2 =4, and why. Standards are statements. Curriculum includes many resources: activities, lessons, units, assessments, and can include publisher textbooks. Standards define what is to be learned by the end of a school year. Curriculum is the detailed plan for day to day teaching. In education terms, decisions about standards are made at the state level, defining for teachers, school leaders and parents what students are expected to know by the end of the year. Curriculum decisions, including which textbook and programs to use, are made by local districts."

"text": "Teacher Autonomy LAST UPDATED: 08.12.14The concept of teacher autonomy refers to the professional independence of teachers in schools, especially the degree to which they can make autonomous decisions about what they teach to students and how they teach it. In recent years, teacher autonomy has become a major point of discussion and debate in American public education, largely as a result of educational policies that, some argue, limit the professionalism, authority, responsiveness, creativity, or effectiveness of teachers. While teacher autonomy is most frequently discussed in terms of what teachers teach to students and how they teach it, the issue may also manifest in other ways. For example, some schools are entirely led and managed by teachers—i.e., the schools do not have formal administrators; teachers assume administrative roles, usually on a revolving basis. In addition, the composition and negotiation of teacher contracts may also vary significantly from place to place. For example, local teachers unions will negotiate annual contracts with school districts in some states, while most states have statewide teacher contracts that are negotiated by state teachers unions. Depending on its provisions, teaching contracts can directly affect professional autonomy, given that contracts may, for example, determine the specific number of hours that teachers can work each week or limit the roles that teachers can play in a school or district. For a related discussion, see autonomy. Debate While debates related to teacher autonomy vary from place to place, the professionalism of teachers is typically a central issue in the debates."

Harris Table of Contents Thinking About Curriculum Everywhere today, curriculum planners are being asked to determine how to implement state standards and other issues when addressing their curricula. But how to go about that? The intent of this revised introductory chapter is to provide an overview of curriculum, so that the subject-specific chapters that follow can be viewed from a broader perspective. The chapter begins by providing a knowledge base for the process of developing curricula. The chapter also analyzes curriculum work at the state, school district, school, and classroom levels. An additional section, Putting Standards to Work in Schools, has been included in this revised chapter to outline the ways in which standards can be incorporated into curricula (see pages 39-57). Curriculum Concepts While curriculum planners have tried for decades to define curriculum—often with very little guidance—two approaches can resolve the debate. The first is to use a simple definition that reflects how most educational leaders use the term: Curriculum is the skills and knowledge that students are to learn. A more complex approach is to analyze the several sources of curriculum; from this perspective there are eight different kinds: The recommended curriculum derives from experts in the field. Almost every discipline-based professional group has promulgated curriculum standards for its field."

"text": "Curriculum LAST UPDATED: 08.12.15The term curriculum refers to the lessons and academic content taught in a school or in a specific course or program. In dictionaries, curriculum is often defined as the courses offered by a school, but it is rarely used in such a general sense in schools. Depending on how broadly educators define or employ the term, curriculum typically refers to the knowledge and skills students are expected to learn, which includes the learning standards or learning objectives they are expected to meet; the units and lessons that teachers teach; the assignments and projects given to students; the books, materials, videos, presentations, and readings used in a course; and the tests, assessments, and other methods used to evaluate student learning. An individual teacher’s curriculum, for example, would be the specific learning standards, lessons, assignments, and materials used to organize and teach a particular course. When the terms curriculum or curricula are used in educational contexts without qualification, specific examples, or additional explanation, it may be difficult to determine precisely what the terms are referring to—mainly because they could be applied to either all or only some of the component parts of a school’s academic program or courses. In many cases, teachers develop their own curricula, often refining and improving them over years, although it is also common for teachers to adapt lessons and syllabi created by other teachers, use curriculum templates and guides to structure their lessons and courses, or purchase prepackaged curricula from individuals and companies. In some cases, schools purchase comprehensive, multigrade curriculum packages—often in a particular subject area, such as mathematics—that teachers are required to use or follow. Curriculum may also encompass a school’s academic requirements for graduation, such as the courses students have to take and pass, the number of credits students must complete, and other requirements, such as completing a capstone project or a certain number of community-service hours. Generally speaking, curriculum takes many different forms in schools—too many to comprehensively catalog here. It is important to note that while curriculum encompasses a wide variety of potential educational and instructional practices, educators often have a very precise, technical meaning in mind when they use the term."

Perhaps the complex nature of the task is one reason for existing gaps between what's outlined in the written curriculum, what gets taught and what gets tested. Researchers Blank, Porter and Smithson documented such gaps when they examined math and science instruction in 11 states in 2001. Researchers of the Second International Mathematics and Science Study attributed the poor performance of U. S. students to uneven exposure to mathematics topics in their classrooms. These and other findings indicate districts are missing out on some potentially significant benefits of curriculum alignment."

Common Core eliminates local control over K-12 curriculum in math and English, instead imposing a one-size-fits-all, top-down curriculum that will also apply to private schools and homeschoolers. Superficially, it sounds good. It creates universal standards that supposedly educate all children for college. But along with the universal standards come a myriad of problems, which the administrators of Common Core are disingenuously denying. The American Principles Project released an analysis last year of Common Core, exposing the duplicitous language. Common Core describes itself as \"\"internationally benchmarked,\"\" \"\"robust,\"\" \"\"aligned with college and work expectations,\"\" \"\"rigorous,\"\" and \"\"evidence-based.\"\" None of this is true. Common Core proponents claim that it is not a federal mandate, instead using language like \"\"state-led\"\" and \"\"voluntary.\"\" The Common Core website asserts, \"\"The federal government was NOT involved in the development of the standards.\"\""

Yes, students with disabilities may be retained; however, careful consideration in the development, implementation, and revision of the student’s individualized education program (IEP) should prevent student failure in most cases. “Research indicates that neither grade retention nor social promotion (the practice of promoting students with their same age-peers although they have not mastered current grade level content) is likely to enhance a child’s learning. Research and common sense both indicate that simply having a child repeat a grade is unlikely to address the problems a child is experiencing. ”Do local governing board-adopted standards for promotion apply to students with disabilities? Local governing board adopted standards for promotion apply to students with disabilities; however, IEP teams should consider whether the student’s disability adversely impacts the student’s potential for learning or rate of learning. If so, the IEP teams should consider whether accommodations or curricular modifications can minimize this impact. Are individualized promotion standards determined by the location where services are provided to students with disabilities? No, for example, a student with significant disabilities who spends all or most of the instructional day in general education classrooms learning social or communication skills may have individualized promotion standards. Yet, a student with emotional or behavioral disabilities who spends most or part of the instructional day in a more restrictive environment may be held to the regular promotion standards."

"text": "Home Uncategorized Education Standardization: Essential or Harmful? Uncategorized Education Standardization: Essential or Harmful? By Marie Bjerede - April 26, 2013Share Tweet Share Pin In my previous post, I described how much of the standardization that exists in our current system of schooling is harmful to students and should be eliminated, but made the argument that not all standardization is harmful – that, in fact, in some cases it is essential to enable innovation and transformation. Today I will discuss some areas where standardization is possible, some advantages and disadvantages of each of these, and my rationale for whether standardization at this level is helpful or harmful. Standardized level, pace, and path of learning Advantages Ease of implementation at scale Meets expectations of educators, community, and politicians Already implemented at scale and doesn’t incur the significant risks associated with change Disadvantages Inefficient for any given student’s learning Contributes to disengagement among students Conclusion: HARMFUL – The most obvious and concrete problem with standardizing level, pace, and path is illuminated by how poorly that serves students who are far from “average” in any given academic area. It isn’t news that students who “get” the material quickly often disengage due to boredom and students who struggle disengage due to hopelessness. Solutions that help mitigate the issue, such as problem, project, cross-disciplinary, or inquiry based learning do so by beginning to break down the assumptions about level, pace, and path yet require tremendous investment of resources to overcome a structural problem that, perhaps, needn’t exist at all. Standardized curriculum Advantages Standardized curriculum supports some level of equity by ensuring all students have access to curriculum which has been found adequate by representatives of their communities Teacher-proofing through scripted curriculum reduces harm that can be done by poor teachers The current system of curriculum adoption with highly invested and influential incumbents (as well as hopeful wanna-be’s) will support continuation of status quo, again not incurring the risks associated with change Disadvantages Standardizing curriculum severely limits the opportunities for students to learn by enforcing a one-size-fits all curriculum Curriculum standardization de-professionalizes teaching by marginalizing the professional judgment, experience, and skill of teachers (to the degree that the curriculum is scripted and prescriptive. ) Standardization here tends to shift professional practice towards content coverage and away from deep understanding Conclusion: HARMFUL – When curriculum is used as a tool (or one of many tools) by a skilled teacher in helping students achieve meaningful outcomes, it counts as highly useful. However, as is far more often the case, when a prescribed curriculum imposes exactly one correct way (generally based on content-transfer pedagogy) for students to achieve those outcomes, it dooms many students to failure where alternative approaches may help them to succeed."

"text": "Scope and Sequence Scope is defined as “a clearly stated set of K-12 learning objectives that reflects local, state, and national expectations. Sequence is the order in which those objectives are taught.” ( Nichols, Shidaker, Johnson, & Singer, 2006) Sequence is often decided by grade level, while scope is more detailed and includes the specific learning objectives which often include benchmarks. For most states, the Scope and Sequence is developed directly from the standards at the state level. “ Together a scope and sequence of learning bring order to the delivery of content, supporting the maximizing of student learning and offering sustained opportunities for learning. Without a considered scope and sequence there is the risk of ad hoc content delivery and the missing of significant learning.” ( ACT Department of Education and Training, 2009) In New Jersey some subject areas are left to the individual district to develop a Scope and Sequence chart. For example, in science, New Jersey details that by the end of grade 2, 5 and 8 certain objectives must be met as indicated by each standard. The school districts are then left to determine which grade level will address the objectives for each standard within those groups. This is not the case with math and language arts."

While these five math strands might surprise you, they cover the basics of what a first grader should learn in math. First Grade Math – What are the Standards and Curriculum? Time4Learning teaches a comprehensive first grade math curriculum using fun activities to build a solid math foundation in the following five major math strands: Number Sense and Operations In first grade math, students will be expected to: Read and write numerals to 100 and to count objects to 100 or more Compare and order whole numbers to 100 or more using a variety of methods including usage of the symbols <, =, and >, and the vocabulary of less than, equal to, and more than Learn ordinal numbers from 1st to 10th or higher Counting is an important skill for a first grade math student. The children will learn to: Count orally to 100 by 2s, 5s, and 10s with or without a hundred chart Count forward or backward by 1s beginning with any number less than 100Using a hundred chart they will learn to count forward by 10s starting at any number less than 10First grade math students will be learning about place value including: The place value of any digit in a whole number less than 100Place value patterns and how zero is a placeholder for expressing place value During this year, first grade math students will learn addition and subtraction. The children will demonstrate that they know addition means putting together, subtraction means taking away, and the following: Solve basic addition facts using concrete objects and thinking strategies such as ‘count on’, ‘count back’, ‘doubles’, ‘doubles plus one’, and ‘make ten’Learn about the commutative and associative properties of addition and learn fact families up to 18Using concrete materials such as coins, diagrams, and number expressions to show equivalent forms of the same number Addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers without regrouping, up to 100, using models and algorithms Solve simple number problems by selecting the proper operation and to describe their thinking when solving number problems Write number sentences associated with addition and subtraction and learn to use a calculator to solve problems Learn about estimation, using it to compare quantities and find reasonable answers to math problems Taught about simple fractions, learning that equivalent fraction parts make a whole Algebraic Thinking Children in first grade math will predict, extend, and create patterns. They will: Transfer patterns from one medium to another, describe pattern rules, identify and generate patterns in lists of related pairs based on real-life situations Explore number patterns on a hundred chart and with a calculator Solve addition and subtraction sentences where an unknown number is represented by a geometric shape Use objects to solve number sentences with equalities and inequalities using <, =, and >,Solve real-world problems where there is one unknown factor Geometry and Spatial Sense Continuing their study of two- and three-dimensional figures which they started in kindergarten math, first grade math students will: Sort figures and objects according to their attributes such as vertices and edges Understand lines of symmetry and demonstrate slides, turns and reflections Combine shapes to form others shapes and find geometric shapes in real-life situations Use a number line from 0 to 100 or more Measurement During first grade math, children will show a basic understanding of measuring lengths, weights, and capacity by selecting appropriate units to use for measurement. Student will: Use standard and non-standard units to measure, compare, and order objects according to their lengths and weights Study time, temperature, and money and show concept understanding by use of digital and analog clocks, calendars, and thermometers Learn and compare money values including the quarter (25 cents), half-dollar (50 cents), and dollar (100 cents)*Math Standards are defined by each state.

By Room 241 Team • January 29, 2013Many people are critical of the traditional public school system in the United States. Public schools have definitely had their share of problems, and it has lead many to look into alternative education options for their children. One of the options that some are embracing is the Montessori curriculum. What is Montessori? The Montessori educational system is named after its founder, Maria Montessori, who was born in 1870 and who was the first female physician in Italy. Her medical career focused mostly on pediatrics and psychology, and she was a practicing physician, not a teacher, at the University of Rome. Still, she was considered a leader in the field of early childhood education and mentored various other experts in child psychology and education including Anna Freud, Jean Paget, and Erik Erikson. Dr. Montessori believed that children have a natural inclination to learn, and through her research she found that when children were put in a setting with their peers where learning opportunities were available, they learned everything from reading and writing to botany without official lessons. While some children begin Montessori education as young as 18 months, the most common starting place is at 3 years of age."

Authored by NYS curriculum and instruction experts, this English Language Arts and Mathematics curriculum is comprehensive and meets the needs of all teachers from Pre-Kindergarten to High School. These curriculum maps should be used by districts across NYS as a foundation to guide the construction of their own curricula based on the NYS P-12 Common Core Standards. Within the NYLearns system, districts can copy this entire body of work to their own district account and then endlessly customize the maps to reflect their local curriculum needs. This allows all districts to leverage a year’s worth of curriculum work and thus save a considerable amount of their own limited resources as they advance a curriculum initiative.

"text": "Home » College The Definition of Curriculum Alignment By Stephany Elsworth Teachers are an important part of curriculum alignment and development. Curriculum alignment is an academic term meaning that the state and local academic standards, educational programs, instructional materials, teaching techniques and academic assessments all coordinate with one another within schools. Different components of curriculum alignment take place at the school, district and state levels. Schools and school districts implement curriculum alignment as part of an effort to improve student performance. Most school districts must provide their states with curriculum guides or other documentation to demonstrate how they are meeting the standards. Vertical and Horizontal Alignment There are two main forms of curriculum alignment. A vertically aligned curriculum is scaffolded so that the information students learn in a lower grade or a previous course prepares them for more advanced grades and more challenging work. A curriculum that is horizontally aligned means that the same material is being taught across different classrooms in a given grade level, and that the material being taught is in alignment with the learning standards and assessments established by the district or state. Federal and state agencies use curriculum alignment to standardize education for the purpose of improving academic achievement and educational quality. The alignment is also used to mitigate factors like race, gender and socioeconomic levels that often cause disparity in academic performance."

It's a particularly compelling view of life in a Core Knowledge school, one that will have you deeply envious! Excerpts from the introduction: When you talk with parents at the Washington Core Knowledge School in Fort Collins, Colo., about the typical public school curriculum, the discussion is often filled with images of erosion. Many describe how the curriculum they knew as children, the one rooted in the granite truths of Western civilization, has disappeared from most schools, or as they like to put it, \"\"washed away. \"\" Listening to them, it's as if whole strata of history, science, and literature have been eroded into a pile of unidentifiable fragments by a series of destructive shifts in the educational climate. Once students as young as 12 could intelligently discuss the causes of the Civil War; now there is talk of learning to appreciate other cultures."

You might find that if you print it in draft mode on your printer it is less straining on the eyes. Curriculum Development: An Overview INTRODUCTIONEver since the term curriculum was added to educators' vocabularies, it has seemed to convey many things to many people. To some, curriculum has denoted a specific course, while to others it has meant the entire educational environment. Whereas perceptions of the term may vary, it must be recognized that curriculum encompasses more than a simple definition. Curriculum is a key element in the educational process; its scope is extremely broad, and it touches virtually everyone who is involved with teaching and learning. This volume focuses on curriculum within the context of career and technical education. In no other area has greater emphasis been placed upon the development of curricula that are relevant in terms of student and community needs and substantive outcomes. The career and technical and technical curriculum focuses not only on the educational process but also on the tangible results of that process."

The 3 major dietary carbohydrates are sugar, fiber, and starch. Some of the most common sugars, also known as simple sugars, include glucose, fructose, sucrose, and lactose. Fiber is made from the sugar, glucose. We do not have enzymes that can break down fiber so we cannot directly access the glucose. But, the plethora of health benefits that fiber provides makes it absolutely necessary that we include it in our diets. That brings us to starch. Specifically, starch is a polymer of glucose."

Carbohydrate is classified according to chemical composition, but these groupings are not always helpful when describing physical and nutrition functions. As a result, a number of terms have emerged to group carbohydrates based on physiological properties and to help focus on specific health benefits. The World Health Organization and Food and Agriculture Organization (WHO/FAO) have recommended that terminology be standardized primarily based on its chemical make-up (i.e., number of sugar units, type of linkage between units). Key terminology used to describe carbohydrate summarized below. Carbohydrates Sugars Sugar Other Terminology References Carbohydrates Carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms; in approximately a 1:2:1 molar ratio, giving the general formula Cx H2x Ox. The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is always 2:1. General names for carbohydrates include sugars, starches, saccharides, and polysaccharides. The term saccharide is derived from the Latin word \"\"sacchararum\"\" from the sweet taste of sugars.

A carbohydrate is a biomolecule consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms, usually with a hydrogen–oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water); in other words, with the empirical formula C m (H 2O) n (where m may be different from n ).

[ 3] The carbohydrates are technically hydrates of carbon; [4] structurally it is more accurate to view them as aldoses and ketoses . [ 5]The term is most common in biochemistry, where it is a synonym of 'saccharide', a group that includes sugars, starch, and cellulose. The saccharides are divided into four chemical groups: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides.

Gluten Precautions Gluten and starch, although they can be found in the same foods, are not the same thing. They are both components of wheat and are therefore closely intertwined in the foods you eat; however, gluten is a protein and starch is a carbohydrate. Consuming them can add valuable nutrients to your diet, but they can also cause health problems, depending on your body’s reaction to them. Gluten Most of the protein content in wheat comes from gliadin and glutenin, two proteins that collectively make up gluten. These proteins are responsible for giving wheat-based dough its elastic quality, and they function to create pockets that trap air during baking and allow for breads and other yeast-rich baked goods to rise. Gluten is found not only in wheat but also in rye, kamut, barley, spelt and, possibly, oats, although the proteins in these grains are not quite as elastic as those in wheat. As a nutrient, gluten adds amino acids to your diet, but it is also associated with a serious health condition known as celiac disease. Celiac Disease In celiac disease, or gluten intolerance, your body mounts an immune reaction in response to the presence of gluten in your digestive tract. Your immune cells then damage, or even completely destroy, your body’s villi – tiny, hairlike projections lining your small intestine that absorb nutrients following digestion."

"text": "The ME Burner Typesby Jade Teta on October 18, 2010The burner types The body has two main fuels at its disposal, sugar (carbs), and fat. We burn a mix of these two fuels all the time, but our individual genetics as well as our chosen lifestyle habits can determine which fuel dominates. Stress and overeating are two of the biggest influences on which fuel we burn. Both push the body toward a higher proportion of sugar used compared to fat. Too much food or the wrong types of food push us more towards sugar burning and fat storage. Too much stress pushes us toward muscle burning (muscle can be burned to use as sugar) and fat storage. In the Metabolic Effect way of thinking, there are three burner types and they lie on a continuum. On one side there are the sugar burners who tend to be insulin dominant resulting in a metabolic preference to run off of sugar from the food they eat rather than using fat for energy. In the middle there are the mixed burners who burn a relatively even mix of sugar and fat. They have a more balanced hormonal makeup between stress hormones and fat storing hormones."

Boron, for example, has been demonstrated to be required for the growth of many—perhaps all—higher plants but has not been implicated as an essential element in the nutrition of either microorganisms or animals. Trace amounts of fluorine (as fluoride) are certainly beneficial, and perhaps essential, for proper tooth formation in higher animals. Similarly, iodine (as iodide) is required in animals for formation of thyroxine, the active component of an important regulatory hormone. Silicon (as silicate) is a prominent component of the outer skeletons of diatomaceous protozoans and similar organisms and is required in them for normal growth. In higher animals the requirement for silicon is much smaller. A less obvious example of a specialized mineral requirement is provided by calcium, which is required by higher animals in comparatively large amounts because it is a major component of bone and eggshells (in birds); for other organisms, calcium is an essential nutrient but only as a trace element. Mineral elements in wide variety are present in trace amounts in almost all foodstuffs. It cannot be assumed that the nonessential mineral elements play no useful role in metabolism.

Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Bananas Have Moderate Calories While bananas contain a moderate number of calories that can work well within a diet plan, to create a plan, you first need a daily calorie goal. If you’re unsure how many calories you consume, keep track of everything you eat and drink for a few days and tally the total calories. The best way to lose weight and keep it off is to drop just 1 to 2 pounds a week, reports the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. To determine a calorie goal that achieves weight loss at that rate, reduce your daily caloric intake by 500 to 1,000 calories. Now you can plan to work bananas into your menu."

It consists of a molecule of D-galactose and a molecule of D-glucose bonded by beta-1-4 glycosidic linkage. It has a formula of C 12 H 22 O 11. A carbohydrate is a biomolecule consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms, usually with a hydrogen–oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water); in other words, with the empirical formula C m (H 2O) n (where m may be different from n ). [ 1] This formula holds true for monosaccharides. Some exceptions exist; for example, deoxyribose, a sugar component of DNA, [2] has the empirical formula C 5 H 10 O 4. [ 3] The carbohydrates are technically hydrates of carbon; [4] structurally it is more accurate to view them as aldoses and ketoses . [ 5]The term is most common in biochemistry, where it is a synonym of 'saccharide', a group that includes sugars, starch, and cellulose. The saccharides are divided into four chemical groups: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides and disaccharides, the smallest (lower molecular weight) carbohydrates, are commonly referred to as sugars. ["

American Federation of Labor was one of the first federations of labor unions in the United States. It was founded in Columbus, Ohio in December 1886 by an alliance of craft unions disaffected from the Knights of Labor, a national labor association. Samuel Gompers of the Cigar Makers' International Union was elected president of the Federation at its founding convention and was reelected every year except one until his death in 1924. The AFL was the largest union grouping in the United States for the first half of the 20th century, even after the creation of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) by unions that were expelled by the AFL in 1935 over its opposition to industrial unionism. While the Federation was founded and dominated by craft unions throughout the first fifty years of its existence, many of its craft union affiliates turned to organizing on an industrial union basis to meet the challenge from the CIO in the 1940s. In 1955, the AFL merged with its longtime rival, the Congress of Industrial Organizations, to form the AFL-CIO, a federation which remains in place to this day.

Copied Select a Section 1 /0The new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), created by the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, is living up to its billing as one of the most powerful—and unaccountable—federal agencies ever created. [ 1] After just 18 months—and with a staff exceeding 1,000 and funding of $600 million—the bureau is restructuring the mortgage market; devising restrictions on credit bureaus, education loans, overdraft policies, payday lenders, credit card plans and prepaid cards; and amassing unverified complaints with which to assail creditors and bankers. This inordinate control over consumer finance is constraining credit and harming the economy. Prior to passage of Dodd–Frank, authority for some 50 rules and orders stemming from 18 consumer protection laws was divided among seven agencies. [ 2] Title X of the act consolidated this authority within the CFPB, while granting the agency unparalleled, radical powers over virtually every consumer financial product and service. The bureau was designed to evade the checks and balances that apply to most other regulatory agencies. Its very structure invites expansive rulemaking, [3] as does its misappropriation of the emergent theory of behavioral economics that drives bureau decision making. It deems consumers prone to financial irrationality and thus ill-equipped to act in their self-interest. Consequently, the CFPB is compelled to intervene in consumers’ personal financial transactions."

Some experts see a trend toward homogenisation of financial institutions, meaning a tendency to invest in similar areas and have similar business strategies. A consequence of this might be fewer banks serving specific target groups, and small-scale producers may be under-served. [ 3]Contents [ hide ]1 Standard settlement instructions2 Regulation3 See also4 References Standard settlement instructions [ edit]Standard Settlement Instructions (SSIs) are the agreements between two financial institutions which fix the receiving agents of each counterparty in ordinary trades of some type. These agreements allow traders to make faster trades since the time used to settle the receiving agents is conserved. Limiting the trader to an SSI also lowers the likelihood of a fraud. SSIs are used by financial institutions to facilitate fast and accurate cross-border payments. Regulation [ edit]Financial institutions in most countries operate in a heavily regulated environment because they are critical parts of countries' economies, due to economies' dependence on them to grow the money supply via fractional reserve lending. Regulatory structures differ in each country, but typically involve prudential regulation as well as consumer protection and market stability."

Each FHLBank is required to register at least one class of equity with the SEC, although their debt is not registered. A primary benefit of FHLBank membership is access to reliable liquidity through secured loans, known as advances, which are funded by the FHLBanks in the capital markets from the issuance of discount notes or term debt, collectively known as consolidated obligations (COs). COs are joint and several obligations of all the FHLBanks, i.e., any debt issued on behalf of one FHLBank is the responsibility of all for repayment, with the issuing FHLBank having the primary responsibility.

"text": "3 Major Credit Reporting Agencies There are three major credit bureaus in the U. S. – Experian, Equifax and Trans Union – that collect and maintain financial information on consumers to help develop reports about the person’s spending and payment habits. These credit reports are used by banks, card companies and other lenders to assess the quality of a person’s credit worthiness and help determine whether to grant them a loan. The three major credit bureaus have files on 200 million consumers. These are for-profit companies that generated nearly $9 billion in revenue in 2014. They are not affiliated with the U. S. government or with any educational entity. They provide a service to banks, lenders and individuals who pay them fees. Each borrower presents a unique set of risks to any lender and credit bureaus help lenders assess those risks. Credit bureaus combine a detailed history of a borrower’s transactions and payments with analytics on the way the individual deals with certain types of debt. Knowing a person’s borrowing habits, credit history and estimated ability to pay bills helps lenders decide whether to lend them money, how much to lend and what interest rate to charge when loan terms are negotiated. Every time you pay your credit card bill, mortgage, auto loan or insurance premium, that information is forwarded by your creditor to the three credit bureaus and other specialty bureaus that compile similar data."

Outside the Beltway, it is not well known that a Victoria's Secret catalog was responsible for a key aspect of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Read the story here. ( Jan. 2005)Introduction Information that many would consider private--including bank balances and account numbers--is regularly bought and sold by banks, credit card companies, and other financial institutions. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), which is also known as the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999, provides limited privacy protections against the sale of your private financial information. Additionally, the GLBA codifies protections against pretexting, the practice of obtaining personal information through false pretenses. The GLBA primarily sought to \"\"modernize\"\" financial services--that is, end regulations that prevented the merger of banks, stock brokerage companies, and insurance companies. The removal of these regulations, however, raised significant risks that these new financial institutions would have access to an incredible amount of personal information, with no restrictions upon its use. Prior to GLBA, the insurance company that maintained your health records was distinct from the bank that mortgaged your house and the stockbroker that traded your stocks. Once these companies merge, however, they would have the ability to consolidate, analyze and sell the personal details of their customers' lives."

No, it's not another round of stimulus checks for those of you who have been hoping and waiting with bated breath, but rather, it pertains to the FDIC insurance that guarantees the safety and security of bank deposits. The current increased FDIC insurance limits of $250,000 were scheduled to be rolled back to the previous $100,000 limits on the last day of 2009. However just recently, Congress voted to extend the deadline for four more years - through December 31, 2013. Those of us who have significant amounts of money in the bank or sizable funds invested into long term certificates of deposit ( CD rates) undoubtedly have been nervously eyeing the impending December 31 expiration date of the $250,000 threshold. Thus this news ought to come as a tremendous welcomed relief. Those of us who have been considering renewing our certificates of deposit can now consider maturities with a longer time horizon without fear of falling outside of federally protected limits. Avoid Banks That Are Not FDIC Insured, Or Credit Unions That Are Not NCUA Protected As many of you may know, if you have money in a bank account, your bank deposits are generally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to the maximum current limit of $250,000. Similarly, if you have money saved in a credit union account, your deposits are insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) for the same amount as well. As federal government run entities, the two organizations jointly share in the responsibility of���� insuring and regulating the stability & financial health of our nation's banks and credit unions."

Its function, as articulated in its mission statement is to “aid, counsel, assist and protect the interests” of small businesses, to preserve free enterprise and to maintain and strengthen the economy. The SBA fulfills its mission by offering loans, loan guarantees, government contracts, financial counseling and other forms of assistance to America’s small businesses, defined as any business that: Is organized for profit. Has a place of business in the United States. Operates primarily within the United States or makes a significant contribution to the U. S. economy through payment of taxes or use of American products, materials or labor. Is independently owned and operated Is a sole proprietorship, partnership or corporation. Is not dominant in its field on a national basis. To categorize businesses, the SBA has established standards for every private sector industry in the United States, via the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). NAICS standards use the number of employees and/or average annual receipts to determine which businesses are considered small, and these standards are industry specific. For example, to be considered small, a manufacturing business cannot exceed 500 employees; wholesale trade companies cannot exceed 100 employees; retail trade is restricted to annual receipts of $7 million; and general and heavy construction must be below receipts of $33.5 million."

The five largest banks in the United States at December 31, 2011, were JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and Goldman Sachs. [ 1] In December 2011, the five largest banks' assets were equal to 56 percent of the U. S. economy, compared with 43 percent five years earlier. The U. S. finance industry comprised only 10% of total non-farm business profits in 1947, but it grew to 50% by 2010. Over the same period, finance industry income as a proportion of GDP rose from 2.5% to 7.5%, and the finance industry's proportion of all corporate income rose from 10% to 20%. The mean earnings per employee hour in finance relative to all other sectors has closely mirrored the share of total U. S. income earned by the top 1% income earners since 1930. The mean salary in New York City's finance industry rose from $80,000 in 1981 to $360,000 in 2011, while average New York City salaries rose from $40,000 to $70,000. In 1988, there were about 12,500 U. S. banks with less than $300 million in deposits, and about 900 with more deposits, but by 2012, there were only 4,200 banks with less than $300 million in deposits in the United States, and over 1,800 with more.

And one of the things I get asked is do I eat the beaver I trap and yes I do. As a matter of fact it was pretty much the only meat I ate in the winter of 2008, I had just went thru a separation and money was tight as it is at times with these sorta things and was trapping to make a living. And beaver meat is high in protein and probably better than beef and supplemented well, well except for a good ribeye. So, where do ya start, well first you have to find one. Beaver are pretty much located throughout N. America. Most are trapped and some are shot depending on your state regulations. It’s really not hard to find one or you may know a trapper or a landowner that may have them in a pond or river etc. I prefer to eat a fresh beaver for the reason that when trapped they are not bled out."

"text": "\"Seigniorage From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Inflation tax)navigation search Seigniorage / ˈ s eɪ n j ər ɪ dʒ /, also spelled seignorage or seigneurage (from Old French seigneuriage \"\"right of the lord ( seigneur) to mint money\"\"), is the difference between the value of money and the cost to produce and distribute it. The term can be applied in the following ways: Seigniorage derived from specie—metal coins —is a tax, added to the total price of a coin (metal content and production costs), that a customer of the mint had to pay to the mint, and that was sent to the sovereign of the political area. [ 1]Seigniorage derived from notes is more indirect, being the difference between interest earned on securities acquired in exchange for bank notes and the costs of producing and distributing those notes. [ 2]The term also applies to monetary seignorage, where sovereign-issued securities are exchanged for newly minted bank notes by a central bank, thus allowing the sovereign to 'borrow' without needing to repay. [ 3] However, monetary seignorage refers to the sovereign revenue obtained through routine debt monetization, including expanding the money supply during GDP growth and meeting yearly inflation targets. [ 3]Seigniorage is a convenient source of revenue for some governments. By providing the government with increased purchasing power at the expense of the public's purchasing power, it imposes what is metaphorically known as an inflation tax on the public.

Bicentennial Coins More than two decades before the 50 State Quarters and three decades before the Presidential Dollar Series, the United States had a circulating commemorative coin program that lasted 2 years and proved popular among the masses: The Bicentennial coin designs on U. S. circulating quarters, half-dollars, and dollar coins. History Of Bicentennial Coins In 1970, the United States American Revolution Bicentennial Commission proposed the idea of minting special coins to commemorate our nation’s Bicentennial. After pitching the idea to President Nixon and deciding to what extent the special commemorative coin program should reach — both in terms of denominations involved and how the coins should be distribute — the House Committee on Banking and Currency proposed on July 24, 1973 that the U. S. should strike double-dated commemoratives (1776-1976) for quarters, half-dollars, and dollar coins. Furthermore, it was declared that there be an open design competition for a special image on the reverse side of these coins, and that the final designs be ready for release into circulation on July 4, 1975. By December 1973, when the design contest closed, some 900 designs had been submitted. In March of 1974, the designs selected were: Jack L. Ahr’s Revolutionary drummer boy for the quarter Seth Huntington’s rendering of Independence Hall for the half-dollar Dennis Williams’ patriotic image of the Liberty Bell and the moon (on which the U. S. had made several landings from 1969 into the early 1970s) for the dollar. How Many Bicentennial Coins Were Minted? Hundreds of millions of Bicentennial coins were struck during 1975 and 1976 — both in the regular copper-nickel clads for circulation and in a 40% silver clad composition for collectors. The silver Bicentennial coins were sold in mint sets and proof sets. These mint sets and proof sets were first sold in 1975 and remained mint offerings into the mid-1980s."

But you might not know how unemployment taxes work. Here are answers to the most common questions about these taxes: What are Unemployment Taxes? Unemployment taxes are paid by employers to the federal government and states in order to fund unemployment compensation benefits for out-of-work employees. Employers are taxed based on their type of business; the higher the unemployment rate in that type of business, the higher the tax. For example, a fast food restaurant with high turnover would be taxed at a higher rate than a medical office with low turnover. How Much Must I Pay for Unemployment Taxes? Federal unemployment taxes (called FUTA taxes) are paid by employers based on the gross pay of employees (wages or salaries). The FUTA tax percentage may change each year. Currently (2015),For 2015, the FUTA tax rate is 6.0%."

"text": "Business Accounting How to Record Accrued Payroll and Taxes How to Record Accrued Payroll and Taxes Related Book Intermediate Accounting For Dummies By Maire Loughran It’s the nature of the beast that most companies will have accrued payroll and related payroll taxes. In other words, a company owes these taxes but has not yet paid them. This topic is easy to understand if you think about the way you’ve been paid by an employer in the past. Most companies have a built-in lag time between when employees earn their wages and when the paychecks are cut. For example, Green Inc. pays its employees on the 1st and 15th of every month, with 15 days of wages in arrears. This means that when the employees get their paycheck on July 15, it’s for work they did from June 16 through June 30. So to match expenses to revenue when preparing financial statements for the one-month period ending June 30, the gross wages earned but not yet paid as of June 30 have to be added to the balance sheet as a current liability. In addition, you have to add any payroll taxes or benefits that will be deducted from the employee’s paycheck when the check is finally cut. The following are examples of employee payroll–related accruals: Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA): The Social Security portion of this tax provides old age, survivor, and disability benefits. For decades, the FICA rate was 6.2 percent on wages up to a certain wage base dollar amount."

As an employer, it is important to know how to calculate how much you pay in payroll taxes. A few states require employers to pay an employment training tax. Federal payroll tax rates apply to all employers. However, state payroll tax rates vary by state. Follow IRS Circular E procedures for calculating federal payroll taxes and the administering state agency’s guidelines for computing state taxes. Compute federal unemployment tax at 6 percent of the initial $7,000 paid to each employee for the year, at the time of publication; see Circular E. You may take a credit of 5.4 percent against your federal unemployment (FUTA) tax if you paid your state unemployment tax as mandated; this lowers your FUTA tax rate to 0.6 percent. Once you pay federal unemployment tax on the first $7,000 paid to each employee for the year, you owe no more FUTA tax on those employees for the year. Calculate Social Security tax at 6.2 percent of taxable wages paid to each employee, up to $127,200 for the year, at the time of publication; see Circular E. Figure Medicare tax at 1.45 percent of all taxable wages paid to each employee, as of 2017. No annual wage limit applies to Medicare tax."

Withholding taxes occur on a federal, often state, and sometimes local level. Corresponding rules are governed by the federal, state and local revenue agency that oversees the collection of taxes. To figure the amount of taxes that will come out of your paycheck, you must know which taxes apply to you and the respective laws. Federal Income Tax Calculation You're likely required to pay federal income tax, Social Security tax and Medicare tax. Only employees who are exempt from these taxes do not have to pay them, and these exemptions are few. To figure federal income tax withholding, obtain your filing status and number of allowances from lines 3 and 5, respectively, of your W-4. Then use the Internal Revenue Service Circular E withholding tax table to find the withholding amount based on your taxable wages, allowances and filing status. Your taxable wages are your gross wages minus pretax deductions, such as 401 (k) and Section 125 health insurance.

"text": "\"Payroll Tax Basics in Massachusetts By Peter Jason Riley The very first step in hiring and paying employees is to obtain a federal \"\"Employer Identification Number\"\" (EIN). Filing a federal form SS-4 with your local Internal Revenue Service office accomplishes this (call 1-800-829-1040 or visit the Internal Revenue Service Website www.irs.gov to get your EIN number online). Once you have your EIN, many of the forms we mention in this article will automatically be sent to you. Payroll checks have 4 basic taxes that are deducted in order to reach the employees \"\"net check.\"\" These are: Federal income tax Social Security Medicare Massachusetts (State) income tax (The employer may also be withholding pension and other types of employee benefit plans; we will not include these in this discussion.) An example of a basic paycheck calculation is as follows; a married taxpayer making $1000 a week claiming one exemption would have the following check in 2007: GROSS PAY $1000. Federal income tax (use Federal Circular E) -$74. Social Security ($1K*6.2% - capped @ $106K in 2008) -$62. Medicare ($1K*1.45% - no cap) -$14.50Massachusetts state income tax (use Circular M) -$48.95NET CHECK $800.55Federal income tax withheld is calculated using the tables found in the federal Circular E (published annually). The employer must match the amounts \"\"withheld\"\" above for Social Security (the total due is 12.4%) and Medicare (the total due is 2.9%)."

"text": "Adjusted gross income is the figure used by the Internal Revenue Service to determine a taxpayer's eligibility for certain tax benefits. AGI is calculated by adding together all qualified income and subtracting all qualified adjustments. It is in the taxpayer's best interest to get his adjusted gross income as low as possible. Lower AGI qualifies the taxpayer for more tax benefits and ultimately results in a smaller tax bill. Function To determine your adjusted gross income, you must first calculate your gross income. This is the total of all the money you made during the calendar year. Some sources of qualified income are tips, business income, alimony you receive, unemployment benefits, taxable Social Security benefits, income on rental property, royalties, money distributed from retirement accounts, taxable refunds, taxable interest, dividends and capital gains from securities you sold at a profit. Some income is not factored into gross income. These include money from public assistance and income on tax exempt local and state bonds. Add everything up and you have your gross income."

It is dated from the previous paycheck to this paycheck. It is normally in a column which lists the gross amount for each and every paycheck you receive. The net pay is the amount you are allowed to receive once you deposit the paycheck. This is less the deductions from the gross pay. There are pre=tax deductions, and post=tax deductions. Savings plans, such as 401K have pretax deductions, where the amount is deducted from the gross pay before taxes are calculated, therefore allowing the pretax deductions to accumulate savings faster. There are the federal and state taxes. There are healthcare deductions, and life=insurance deductions."

If you have employees, you must report and pay unemployment taxes. You don't have to deduct these employment taxes from employee pay, but you must set aside amounts for this tax and report it on Form 940. What is IRS Form 940? IRS Form 940 is the federal unemployment tax annual report form.

While your pay stub shows total wages paid to you, your W-2 shows gross taxable wages. To figure your true gross earnings, use your pay stub amount.

Boxes 3 and 5 of the W-2 show your gross income that is subject to Social Security and Medicare taxes. If you only want to figure the total amount your employer paid you for the year, your last pay stub of the year should show all of the earnings you received.

Employee Payroll All employers are required to set up a payroll account with the IRS when they hire their first employee. The employee fills out form W-4, which determines how much taxes the employer is required to withhold from each paycheck.

Gross salary is an expense because it is a cost of doing business. The money you pay your employers in exchange for the work they do at your company is gross salary. Net salary is the cash you pay your employees after subtracting their deductions from gross salary. Deductions Deductions are money you withhold from your employee's pay.

In addition to being large, the liver is also a complicated organ involved in at least 200 separate functions. Generally speaking, the liver performs a vital role in regulating, synthesizing, storing, secreting, transforming, and breaking down many different substances in the body.

"text": "About high cholesterol With a high level of certain types of cholesterol you increase your risk of cardiovascular disease, such as heart disease and stroke. This is because it can cause fatty deposits (known as plaques) to build up inside your arteries. Over time, these can make your arteries narrower and narrower, restricting the flow of blood to important organs such as your heart. More importantly though, if the surface of one of the plaques in your arteries breaks, or the plaque bursts, it can cause a blood clot. This can completely block the blood supply to part of your heart, causing a heart attack. Or it might block the blood supply to your brain, which would cause a stroke. Types of cholesterol Cholesterol is carried around your body by a protein in your blood. This combination of fat and protein is called a lipoprotein. There are different types of lipoprotein, and they may be harmful or beneficial to your health. This is why you may have heard about ‘bad’ cholesterol and ‘good’ cholesterol."

"text": "Side effects of statins Statins are medications that are effective in helping to reduce 'bad' cholesterol levels and to help reduce the risk of heart problems, but they can cause side effects for some people. Most people who take statins tolerate them very well. But some people experience statin side effects. Statins are the UK's most commonly prescribed medication – and because they are common, they are often in the news – for good and bad reasons. However, reviews continue to confirm these medications are safe to take. Common statin side effects include: Sore throat Nosebleeds Blocked or runny nose Nausea Headache Constipation Diarrhoea Indigestion Flatulence Muscle or joint pain Taking statins can also affect blood sugar levels and may increase the risk of diabetes. Less common statin side effects include: Being sick Weight gain or loss of appetite Sleep problems Dizziness Tingling or loss of sensation Memory problems Blurred vision Ringing in the ears Liver problems Stomach pain from pancreatitis or inflammation of the pancreas Skin problems or rashes Tiredness or weakness Bruising easily or bleeding easily Jaundice or yellowing of the eyes or skin If a statin causes troublesome side effects, talk to your GP about changing to a different type of statin. Muscle problems In some cases, statins can cause inflammation in the muscles. Make sure you report this side-effect to your doctor promptly. They can arrange a blood test called creatine kinase (CK) to check for muscle inflammation or damage."

They’re commonly prescribed for people who have high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or “bad” cholesterol. Statins can reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease and help prevent heart attack and stroke. If you already have cardiovascular disease, statins may help keep your condition from getting worse. Statins may also help increase your levels of healthy high-density lipoprotein (HDL) — or “good” cholesterol — and improve the health of your arteries. Most people who take statins have no noticeable adverse side effects. But side effects can happen, especially if you have certain risk factors. Many of these effects are the same for all statins. Some statins have unique side effects, as well. Here’s what to know."

For many decades, the idea that saturated fats caused heart disease reigned supreme, and diets shifted sharply away from saturated animal fats such as butter and lard, toward partially hydrogenated vegetable oils and margarine. However, as people abandoned saturated fats and replaced them with trans fats, rates of heart disease continued on a steady upward climb. And, the more aggressive the recommendations for low-fat diets, the worse this trend became. Last year, butter consumption in the US reached a 40-year peak, and the resurgence of butter has been attributed to a shift in consumer preferences away from processed foods and back toward natural foods. This is a positive trend, showing that the old myth claiming that saturated fat is bad for you is finally starting to crumble. People are also starting to recognize that refined sugar is far worse for your heart than dietary fat was, and processed low-fat foods are typically loaded with sugar. The French Paradox According to the film, the long held view that saturated fats and cholesterol caused heart disease came under closer scrutiny in the 1990s, when researchers like Kurt Ellison with the Boston University started taking notice of what became known as the French Paradox."

Apparently, it's possible with statins or medication like Zetia when used in combination with a statin. Statins are designed to lower the \"\"bad\"\" cholesterol thought to be a contributing factor for heart attack and stroke, while leaving the so-called \"\"good\"\" cholesterol to do the good work that good cholesterol, ultimately, does. But trying to separate good cholesterol from bad cholesterol and the impact of statins on heart attack—good and bad—is more like the good, the bad and the ugly. Trying to figure it all out is the ugly. The JUPITER study possesses bragging rights that it was so successful in showing the positive impact of statins (in this case, rosuvastatin) on the reduction of low-density lipo-protein cholesterol (LDL, the so-called \"\"bad\"\" cholesterol) that it was halted seven months early. The study was funded by Astra Zeneca but led by a researcher from Harvard Medical School. The international study recruited 18,000 patients from 26 countries.

In this article Defining angina Diagnosis of stable angina Management of stable angina Preventing future myocardial infarction and death Management of symptoms – beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers and nitrates Revascularisation to treat symptoms of angina References In this article View / Download pdf version of this article Key concepts All patients with suspected angina should be referred appropriately for diagnostic assessment including stress testing or similar further risk stratification, unless significant co-morbidities would preclude this. Results of this assessment will guide management, which may include revascularisation and pharmacological treatment, or pharmacological treatment alone While awaiting assessment, patients with suspected stable angina should be prescribed a sublingual nitrate and provided with an action plan for acute episodes of angina. Minimising the risk of future cardiovascular events is one of the most important aspects of the treatment of stable angina. This includes lifestyle modification and good control of other cardiovascular risk factors. An antiplatelet medicine, usually aspirin and a statin are appropriate for all patients with stable angina to prevent adverse cardiovascular events ACE inhibitors are appropriate for patients with co-existing conditions that would benefit from their use Beta-blockers are an appropriate first-line medical treatment to relieve the symptoms of angina.

Angina is usually due to obstruction or spasm of the coronary arteries. [ 1] Other causes include anemia, abnormal heart rhythms, and heart failure. The main mechanism of coronary artery obstruction is an atherosclerosis. The term derives from the Latin angere (\"\"to strangle\"\") and pectus (\"\"chest\"\"), and can therefore be translated as \"\"a strangling feeling in the chest\"\". There is a weak relationship between severity of pain and degree of oxygen deprivation in the heart muscle (i.e., there can be severe pain with little or no risk of a myocardial infarction (heart attack) and a heart attack can occur without pain).

Rosickf you asked most people what disease is the number one killer in America today, the answer would probably be cancer. However, although cancer does strike one in three Americans, it’s not the top lethal disease—that dubious distinction belongs to cardiovascular disease. According to the American Heart Association, over 60 million Americans suffer from some form of this multifaceted disease, and a significant percentage of them—about 13 million—have coronary artery disease (CAD), the leading cause of death in America. It is estimated that over 600,000 Americans will die from CAD this year. The financial impact of cardiovascular disease on health care is also staggering, with expenditures running over $200 billion annually. Pharmaceutical companies have poured hundreds of millions of dollars into their endless search for medications to decrease cholesterol levels. High levels of LDL-cholesterol (the “bad cholesterol”) put us at high risk for heart disease—most probably in the form of CAD. That is because high LDL levels can lead to atherosclerosis—the buildup of cholesterol-containing plaque inside our blood vessels. This restricts blood flow, increases blood pressure, and damages the vessels themselves."

Angina is discomfort or pain in the chest that happens when not enough oxygen-rich blood reaches the muscle cells of the heart. The most common cause of angina is coronary artery disease. Coronary artery disease is usually caused by atherosclerosis. In this condition, fatty deposits (called plaque) build up along the inside walls of blood vessels that feed oxygen and nutrients to the pumping heart. Angina occurs when one or more of the coronary arteries become narrowed or blocked. The discomfort of angina can be mild at first and gradually get worse. Or it may come on suddenly. Although angina most commonly affects males who are middle-aged or older, it can occur in both sexes and in all age groups. Angina also is called angina pectoris."

"text": "Naturally Reverse Hardened Arteries Wendy Myers Atherosclerosis, also known as “hardening of the arteries,” occurs when fat, cholesterol, and other substances build up in the walls of arteries and form hard structures called plaques. Learn how to naturally reverse hardened arteries. Hardening of the arteries begins with an injury to the endothelium, the lining, of artery walls. The injury is due to high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, high blood pressure, chronic inflammation, eating too much sugar and flour, smoking, free radicals produced by bodily processes and many other factors. In response to the injury, white blood cells, along with lipids (fats), begin to accumulate along the inner layer of the artery. These fats and white blood cells begin to oxidize (become rancid) and build up in the artery walls, forming plaques. These plaques begin to harden and bulge inward, and then grow larger. Even then, there are no symptoms until the narrowing reaches 70 percent. If the plaque is disturbed or bursts, blood platelets can accumulate at the site and form a clot, which can grow until it completely blocks an artery and cuts off the oxygen supply to the heart, brain, or other body part. Pieces of plaque can also break off and move to smaller blood vessels, blocking them."

Side effects Function Who takes statins? Statins are a class of medicines that are used to lower blood cholesterol levels. They do this by blocking the action of an enzyme in the liver that is necessary for making cholesterol. Cholesterol is necessary for normal cell and body function, but very high levels can lead to atherosclerosis, a condition where cholesterol-containing plaques build up in the arteries and block blood flow. By reducing blood cholesterol levels, statins lower the risk of chest pain ( angina ), heart attack, and stroke. Here we will look at how statins work, who uses them, and the associated risks and benefits. Fast facts on statins: Statins are used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. Statins work by inhibiting an enzyme called HMG-Co A reductase. People with atheroma-related disease, diabetes, and a family history of heart attacks are often prescribed statins."

You'll also be asked about any risk factors, including whether you have a family history of heart disease. There are several tests your doctor may order to help confirm whether you have angina: Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). Each beat of your heart is triggered by an electrical impulse generated from special cells in your heart. An electrocardiogram records these electrical signals as they travel through your heart. Your doctor can look for patterns among these heartbeats to see if the blood flow through your heart has been slowed or interrupted or if you're having a heart attack. Stress test. Sometimes angina is easier to diagnose when your heart is working harder. During a stress test, you exercise by walking on a treadmill or pedaling a stationary bicycle.

It is more common in people over the age of 50 years. It is also more common in men than in women. Sometimes it occurs in younger people. This leaflet is about the common type of angina which is caused by narrowing in the coronary arteries of the heart. Sometimes angina can be caused by uncommon disorders of the heart valves or heart muscle. What causes angina? If you have angina, one or more of your heart (coronary) arteries is usually narrowed."

"text": "Drugs for CAD: A Guide to Medications for Coronary Artery Disease Medications to treat angina Medications to prevent clots Cholesterol medications Blood pressure medications Takeaway Overview Coronary artery disease (CAD) occurs when the blood vessels can’t carry enough blood and oxygen to the heart. Typically, this is because the vessels are damaged, diseased, or blocked by a fatty substance called plaque. A buildup of plaque causes a condition called atherosclerosis. This can lead to CAD. The goals of CAD treatment are to control symptoms and to stop or slow the progression of the disease. Your doctor’s first treatment suggestion for CAD might be lifestyle changes such as improved diet and exercise habits. If these changes alone aren’t enough, your doctor may prescribe medications. Drugs can play an important role in treating the complications of CAD. According to the Cleveland Clinic, medication may be the first line of treatment if artery blockage is less than 70 percent and doesn’t severely limit blood flow. Read on to learn how drugs can help treat CAD and prevent related problems."

What are statins and how do they work? Statins (or HMG-Co A reductase inhibitors) are a class of drugs that reduce cholesterol in individuals who have dyslipidemia ( abnormalfats in the blood) and thus are at risk for cardiovascular disease. Dyslipidemia may involve an elevation of total cholesterol, a reduction of low density lipoprotein ( LDL) cholesterol and/or triglycerides, or a reduction of high density lipoprotein ( HDL) cholesterol in blood. Statins work by blocking the enzyme in the liver that is responsible for making cholesterol."

Recent advances in basic science have established a fundamental role for inflammation in mediating all stages of this disease from initiation through progression and, ultimately, the thrombotic complications of atherosclerosis. These new findings provide important links between risk factors and the mechanisms of atherogenesis. Clinical studies have shown that this emerging biology of inflammation in atherosclerosis applies directly to human patients. Elevation in markers of inflammation predicts outcomes of patients with acute coronary syndromes, independently of myocardial damage. In addition, low-grade chronic inflammation, as indicated by levels of the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein, prospectively defines risk of atherosclerotic complications, thus adding to prognostic information provided by traditional risk factors. Moreover, certain treatments that reduce coronary risk also limit inflammation. In the case of lipid lowering with statins, this anti-inflammatory effect does not appear to correlate with reduction in low-density lipoprotein levels. These new insights into inflammation in atherosclerosis not only increase our understanding of this disease, but also have practical clinical applications in risk stratification and targeting of therapy for this scourge of growing worldwide importance.endotheliuminflammationatherosclerosisproteins Over the last dozen years, appreciation of the role of inflammation in atherosclerosis has burgeoned."

"text": "Angina Pectoris By James Wayne Warnica, MD, FRCPC , Professor Emeritus of Cardiac Sciences and Medicine, The University of Calgary Click here for Patient Education NOTE: This is the Professional Version. CONSUMERS: Click here for the Consumer Version Angina pectoris is a clinical syndrome of precordial discomfort or pressure due to transient myocardial ischemia without infarction. It is typically precipitated by exertion or psychologic stress and relieved by rest or sublingual nitroglycerin. Diagnosis is by symptoms, ECG, and myocardial imaging. Treatment may include antiplatelet drugs, nitrates, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors, statins, and coronary angioplasty or coronary artery bypass graft surgery. ( See also Overview of Coronary Artery Disease . ) Overview of Angina Pectoris Etiology Pathophysiology Symptoms and Signs Diagnosis Prognosis Treatment Key Points Angina pectoris occurs when cardiac workload exceeds the ability of coronary arteries to supply an adequate amount of oxygenated blood. Symptoms of stable angina pectoris range from a vague, barely troublesome ache to a severe, intense precordial crushing sensation; they are typically precipitated by exertion, last no more than a few minutes, and subside with rest. Do stress testing with ECG for patients with normal resting ECG or with myocardial imaging (eg, echocardiography, radionuclide imaging, MRI) for patients with abnormal resting ECG. Do coronary angiography when revascularization (percutaneous intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting) is being considered."

"text": "Raw steaks can lose their red color because of oxygen exposure. ( Image: Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images)Many consumers base their decision on which steak to purchase in the supermarket by its appearance, believing that a bright red color is a good indicator of its freshness. However, it is natural for a piece of raw steak to change from red to brown color. While it is natural for beef to lose its red color, color change can also be due to freezer burn and spoilage. Oxymyoglobin Fresh cut beef is burgundy or purplish in color because it contains a lot of myoglobin, which is purplish-red in color. The red color of raw meat is mostly the result of oxygen exposure. When the myoglobin is exposed to oxygen, it becomes oxymyoglobin, which turns the steak into a bright red color. To maintain the bright red color consumers prefer, supermarkets use a plastic wrap that oxygen can pass through to package the beef. Color Change After the beef has turned bright red from the initial oxygen exposure, the beef can then turn brown. The continued exposure of the beef to oxygen and bright light can convert the oxymyoglobin into metmyoglobin, which causes beef to have a brownish-red color."

Here we will show you how to sear steak. Caramelization and the Maillard reaction are key to adding flavor, color and texture that you just won’t find in a bland, gray, spongy piece of boiled meat (of course I’m exaggerating here, as I LOVE corned beef). The key to searing on a grill is heat. Reading between the lines of all the science and chemistry on those Wikipedia pages says the grill needs to be HOT. And not just any kind of heat. You need conductive or radiant heat, either a pan surface, or heat straight from the flames. Convection won’t cut it. That means just closing the lid to get the internal temps up isn’t enough. Some high end steak restaurants use extremely hot gas broilers to cook their steaks with a good sear."

Raw beef, lamb, veal and pork steaks, as well as similar cuts such as chops and roasts, can keep for about three to five days in the refrigerator, according to the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services. After Freezing Because of the significantly cooler temperature, your steaks have a much longer life in the freezer than they do in the refrigerator. Food Safety.gov estimates that fresh beef, lamb, pork and veal steaks hold up for six to 12 months in freezers with temperatures of 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below."

"text": "\"By Meathead Goldwyn Smoke is the essence of barbecue. It is what differentiates barbecue from other types of cooking. \"\"' When a lovely flame dies, Smoke gets in your eyes.' Song 'Smoke Gets In Your Eyes'\"\" by Jerome Kern and Otto Harbach, performed by The Platters Originally all barbecue and grilling was done with logs of dried hardwood as the sole fuel source. Heat cooked the meat, and smoke from the wood and from dripping juices imparted a distinctive seductive scent that is the essence of barbecue. But it is difficult to control the heat and flavor when cooking with logs, so today, only a few expert pitmasters outfitted with special rigs cook with logs only. Today, most grills and smokers use charcoal or gas to produce the heat, although a few use wood pellets or electricity. They get flavor and aroma from the addition of wood in the form of wood chips, chunks, bisquettes, pellets, logs, or sawdust. When heated, they make smoke. Smoke can also come from meat drippings, which are laden with fat, protein, spices, and even sugars from sauces."

Steak is one of the most popular foods for first-time sous vide enthusiasts to cook, and with good reason. Cooking steak the traditional way, in a cast iron skillet or on the grill, leaves lots of room for error, and an over- or undercooked steak is a big mistake to make when there's a prime-grade dry-aged ribeye on the line. Sous vide cooking takes all of the guesswork out of the process, delivering steaks that are cooked to precisely the temperature you like each and every time.

Follow 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: About 10 minutes in Dales Steak Marinade-then hit it with Mc Cormicks Garlic Pepper-turn the flame up on high and cear both sides-then turn the flame down and cook till you like the color. .. also can put some Mesquite-Hickory-or Pecan wood chips in a aluminum foil ball with small holes poked in it and set it directly on the burner or rocks-this will give you a real smoked flavor without making a mess in your grill. ( YUMMMMMM) If you do this-then leave out the Dales-or just sprinkle a little over the surface of the steaks and rub it in evenly before adding the garlic pepper-still turn the flame all the way up and get the grill extra hot to cear both sides and make those awesome looking black grill lines on the steaks-then turn it down to cook Myself when i was younger I used to cook them this way but now I have a huge smoker/grill and cut Pecan and mesquite her where I live-then split and season it... The wood chips described above is the way to go if you only have propane grill-you still get that high end flavor (check your local supermarket for the wood chips in the charcoal section) As for the cut of meat-I prefer a Porterhouse (hard to find a true Porterhouse anymore) after that I prefer Rib Eye ( My wife prefers a leaner cut Sirloin) So it depends on your tastes. A Porterhouse gives you both a filet and a strip steak all in one and there is no better flavor than sucking the bone...lol..the closer the bone the sweeter the meat...hehe...

If a person experiences sinus infections, allergies from dust, excessively dry skin or consistent symptoms of cold due to lack of moisture in the air, using a humidifier could be a good solution. Humidifiers ensure clean and healthy air quality by regulating moisture levels in the room, thus minimizing the concentration of dust, bacteria and other irritants. Different Varieties Of Humidifiers Today, there are countless models of humidifiers to choose from. Humidifiers are mainly classified into two types – warm mist and cool mist. In homes with children, it is better to avoid warm mist humidifiers since a child may get burnt from the hot steam emitted. Also, warm mist humidifiers consume more electricity as they have to heat the water to produce steam. Cool mist humidifiers are considerable safer, but require more maintenance. These units require cleaning with soap and water everyday and changing the filter annually. After deciding to purchase either of these, the next thing to consider is whether the humidifier should be ultrasonic, evaporative or steam-based."

Antiseptic: Typically an antiseptic is a chemical agent that is applied to living tissue to kill microbes. Note that not all disinfectants are antiseptics because an antiseptic additionally must not be so harsh that it damages living tissue. Antiseptics are less toxic than disinfectants used on inanimate objects. Due to the lower toxicity, antiseptics can be less active in the destruction of normal and any pathogenic flora present.

Why should you use a Humidifier for your baby? Thermoregulation —methods for sustaining heat and fluid equilibrium vital to newborns and infants exposed to a dry and cold atmosphere. Humidity —moisture in the air will prevent the loss of heat and water for the baby’s skin and nasal passages. Humidity for a baby ideally should be at 50% with a room temperature of about 70 degrees F. (21 C.). Your baby will benefit with humidly and temperature levels at these numbers. The baby’s room will not feel too warm or too dry. Babies sleep better with a cooler environment and moisture without feeling chilly. In a dry winter atmosphere, a humidifier for your infant, toddler, and older children will loosen the dry and congested membranes so that the secretions can be expelled and moved from the baby’s little body.

The most commonly eaten parts of it are the flowering heads, which are shaped like a tree, coming off a thick and edible stalk. There are three main varieties which are popular in different parts of the world. Calabrese broccoli is the most common and is typically simply shortened to “broccoli” while sprouting broccoli and purple cauliflower are two other varieties of the vegetable mostly found in Europe and the Mediterranean countries.

Fresh dough that's rolled with a rolling pin is wonderful for Chinese-style fried dumplings like guo tie, but gyoza demand thinner, stretchier dough that is rolled pasta-style by machine. My mom wasn't the most talented or passionate cook in the world, but to this day her gyoza remain one of my favorite foods of all time. Those beef and vegetable-stuffed crescents with their crisp bottoms and tender-chewy skins were the start of a lifelong obsession that still seems no closer to ending than it did when it first started. I remember sitting with my sisters around my grandmother's low wooden living room table a few times a year for dumpling-wrapping duty. My mom would make a big bowl of filling, set out a few packages of store-bought dumpling wrappers, and put us to task stuffing and folding. We'd eat a few big platefuls of the dumplings that first night, then my mom would freeze the rest, pulling them out over the course of the next couple months until our stock was depleted and our stuffing night was repeated.

Really good-quality birds do cook in a shorter time so follow the instructions if it has them. This year I’m using a flavoured butter to give a bit of extra love to my turkey, and this is a job you can do the day before. Get your turkey and use a spoon to work your way between the skin and the meat. Start at the side of the cavity just above the leg and work gently up towards the breastbone and towards the back so you create a large cavity. Pick up half of your butter and push it into the cavity you’ve created. Use your hands to push it through the skin right to the back so it coats the breast meat as evenly as possible. Do the same on the other side then rub any leftover butter all over the outside of the bird to use it up. If you’ve got any herb stalks left over, put them in the cavity of the turkey for added flavour as it cooks."

I was just wondering because my parents say steam is good for colds, the flu and other illnesses but they also say that being around steam when your not sick can make you sick. Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: First and foremost, it depends on how hot the steam is. It also depends on what's in the steam. If the steam is too hot, it can actually burn your face and/or lungs. If it's too cold.... well, then it's not really steam, so I won't cover that. If the steam is at a safe temperature, it can work to loosen some of the phlegm in your chest, sinus, and nasal cavities, which is why it can help for SOME symptoms of cold or flu. There are a lot of people that use steam to sweat more and clear out more toxins that way, so it helps a little bit for other illnesses (although not much, but it helps a bit). Many people use steam for pores as well, but that's more skin care than health. As far as \"\"what's in it\"\", I meant if it's pure water, tap water, or something added in the water."

We started by discussing Basic Essential Oils for Daily Living, How to Choose High Quality Essential Oils, Essential Oil Safety, and Incorporating Essential Oils Into Your Herbal Practice, and continue here with a discussion on choosing essential oil carriers. Which carrier oils should you choose, and why? Which carrier oils should you avoid? We invite you to learn here how herbalists choose carrier oils and then join us weekly for additional articles on topics ranging from choosing carrier oils to essential oil sustainability considerations. Why use Carriers in Aromatherapy? When studying the art and science of aromatherapy, we quickly find out that there is much more to it than meets the…nose? Learning the essential oils themselves, with their actions, indications, and contraindications is only the first step in a beautiful and rewarding journey. In previous posts we have learned that in addition to essential oil safety, we must also think about essential oil quality and appropriate application methods. When it comes to using essential oils, there are a variety of vehicles, or carriers, which can be used to accomplish their therapeutic task."

For folks with respiratory complaints, steam rooms do offer some unique benefits (details below). Overall, though, since they both cause you to sweat and they both increase circulation to the surface of the skin, the both offer the same basic sauna benefits. Steam room versus sauna: 2 essential differences1. The effects of moisture in the air In a steam room the humidity level is 100%. This high level of moisture in the air can be highly soothing and beneficial for many respiratory conditions. If you're a parent, you may remember being told to bring a baby with a croupy cough into a bathroom you've filled with steam from a hot shower -- a makeshift steam bath! It can relieve the cough."

I had acne all throughout my teens and I’ve tried an insane amount of different products and routines with varying amounts of success. I’d only just nailed down my “perfect” skin care routine and gotten my skin issues under control when we made the decision to go vegan, and of course, not a single one of the products in my skin care lineup was cruelty free. Ugh, isn’t that how it goes? Now we’ve been vegan for 3 years and I’ve got a collection of natural, vegan products that I love! I’ve finally got my skin under control naturally, it’s completely manageable and I no longer feel the need to wear a full face of makeup just to feel confident enough to leave the house. I’ve picked up a ton of tips throughout the years and I’m excited to share them!So, here is my complete skin care routine and my top vegan skin care recommendations and tips!Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Ayushi, makers of high quality vegan skin care products that use natural, organic ingredients. After using these products for over 4 months now, Ayushi has seamlessly integrated itself into my skin care routine and I’m so happy to support such a quality cruelty-free brand!Daily Routine: Cleansing I cleanse my face 1-2 times a day (morning and/or evening) using Ayushi’s Rose Garden Facial Wash. It works well for both cleansing and removing makeup. It’s potent stuff so I don’t need to use much, as with any cleanser it will be drying if you use too much or leave it on for too long. The pump is great because it only dispenses a little bit at a time so I never waste any of it."

The most frequent way of using essential oils is through massage, although essential oils can also be used in a variety of other ways. The three primary modes of using essential oils are: topical application, inhalation via diffusers, or ingestion. Topical applications are most often for muscular aches and pains, and as support for skin conditions and rejuvenation. When used topically, essential oils are most often diluted in a carrier oil, such as Almond, Hazelnut, Olive, or another “fatty acid. ”Inhalation is commonly used for the psychological effects of oils, as the olfactory sense organs are directly tied to the brain's emotional centers. Inhalation is often also employed for sinus and bronchial congestion, along with other breathing ailments. In certain cases, ingestion is prescribed. Capsules of Peppermint essential oil have been shown to be effective in scientific studies on the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, a debilitating condition thought to be the result of rampant bacterial grown in the intestines.

Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Improved Circulation Steam-Sauna-Benefits.com notes the ideal body temperature is 98.6 degrees F. When you get into a sauna, blood circulation and sweat production are dramatically increased. Dr. Lawrence Wilson, researcher of sauna benefits and author of \"\"Sauna Therapy for Detoxification and Healing,\"\" states, “Heating the body several degrees causes greatly increased circulation as the body attempts to maintain its basal temperature. This helps to dislodge toxins.” The increased blood circulation draws more oxygen and nutrients to the skin's surface. Added oxygen and nutrients leave your skin looking healthy and moisturized. Reproduction of collagen The Patient's Guide says skin is primarily composed of collagen. Collagen is a protein, and it comprises in excess of 80 percent of the skin's makeup."

Taking a steam at a hammam, or Turkish-style bathhouse, is all the rage in Paris—and has been for a number of years. More of them seem to be opening each month. I’ve tried O’Kari, La Mosquée de Paris and Les Bains du Marais, and I have enjoyed each of these hammams in Paris for different reasons. Recently I spent a delightful afternoon at O’Kari, which is for women only. It’s a small hammam, but it does the trick. Many women go to a hammam in twos, with a friend, which is fine if you are comfortable getting naked with a girlfriend, but it can be awkward, depending on how open you are and how at ease you are with your body. This is not an activity for the extremely shy or insecure, because you’ll spend most of your time completely nude, with the exception of a small paper thong that covers most but not all the critical parts. Word to the wise: be sure to put the thong on with the larger side forward. This is obvious to those who wear thong-style panties, but as I was in a rush to put mine on in the dressing room, I committed the embarrassing error of putting it on backward, which I discovered too late."

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

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Genetics Is true bacteria multicellular or unicellular? Flag Is true bacteria multicellular or unicellular? Answer by Dan Atwater Confidence votes 225Many bacteria are free-living unicellular (single celled) organisms, but many also form colonies of genetically identical individuals, and a few are multicellular. It is a common misconception that all bacteria are unicellular. Multicellular bacterial organisms have specialized cells, and the whole organism can't survive without those cells. For example, Nostoc, a species of cyanobacteria, forms multicellular strands. Some cells in the strand fix nitrogen, providing an important resource to the other cells in the strand, which carry out photosynthesis. Without the nitrogen provided by the nitrogen-fixing cell, the others couldn't survive, and without the sugars produced by the photosynthetic cells, the nitrogen-fixing ones would die. Because the individual cells would not survive if they were separated, Nostoc is considered to be multicellular.7 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "\"David Rosen, studied at Brooklyn College Updated Dec 11, 2017 · Author has 3.9k answers and 905.2k answer views Some unicellular organisms can form clonal colonies. They are not unicellular all the time, but they form colonies in one stage of their development. Some unicellular species that occasionally form clonal colonies evolved into multicellular organisms. The multicellular bodies are homologous to these clonal colonies. A clonal colony is a population of diploid cells that have identical genomes. Sometimes, the cells in a clonal colony don’t even stick together. However, they often do. Evolution treats the clonal organism as basically one organism because the cells are genetically indistinguishable. So a de novo mutation in a cell can create an allele that when expressed helps other cells in the colony survive even though it kills the cell where the allele is expressed. The genes in each cell basically leverage with genes in other cells to help make more copies of each gene."

Strawberry Fragaria × ananassa Strawberry fruit Strawberry fruit cross section Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae Clade: Angiosperms Clade: Eudicots Clade: Rosids Order: Rosales Family: Rosaceae Genus: Fragaria Species: F. × ananassa Binomial name Fragaria × ananassa Duchesne The garden strawberry (or simply strawberry; Fragaria × ananassa) [1] is a widely grown hybrid species of the genus Fragaria, collectively known as the strawberries. It is cultivated worldwide for its fruit. The fruit is widely appreciated for its characteristic aroma, bright red color, juicy texture, and sweetness. It is consumed in large quantities, either fresh or in such prepared foods as preserves, juice, pies, ice creams, milkshakes, and chocolates. Artificial strawberry flavorings and aromas are also widely used in many products like lip gloss, candy, hand sanitizers, perfume, and many others. The garden strawberry was first bred in Brittany, France, in the 1750s via a cross of Fragaria virginiana from eastern North America and Fragaria chiloensis, which was brought from Chile by Amédée-François Frézier in 1714. [ 2] Cultivars of Fragaria × ananassa have replaced, in commercial production, the woodland strawberry ( Fragaria vesca ), which was the first strawberry species cultivated in the early 17th century. [ 3]The strawberry is not, from a botanical point of view, a berry."

An idea of how many cookies would help.ellen 08/16/05 Ok, for every 50 people, use 2 watermelons (about 20 pounds total), 6 1-pint baskets of strawberries, 3 medium pineapples, 3 medium cantaloupes, 2 to 3 honeydews or casaba melons, 4 pounds of grapes and a pint or two of blueberries for garnish. You can use the frozen chunks of mixed fruits for part, put in the refrigerator instead of the freezer the night before, by the time you get out of your meeting they will be partially thawed. If you want oranges, get the little tiny tangerines that peel in a flash- they are in season right now. Apples and bananas turn brown if cut and tend to not get picked if not cut- I go with the melon chunks instead- sweeter and nicer looking. Cookies depends on size and type, but you want about 3 ounces per person."

Will Bananas Raise Blood Sugar? Strawberries may taste sweet, but compared to other fruit, they’re not very high in sugar. And to set the record straight, while fruit is a source of sugar, there’s no need to limit your intake because of its sugar content, unless you're following your doctor's guidance. Strawberries and other fruits are filled with nutrients that offer many benefits that improve your health. Sugar in Strawberries One cup of sliced strawberries contains 50 calories, 13 grams of carbs, 8 grams of sugar and 3 grams of fiber. With 4 calories per gram, more than 60 percent of the calories in a cup of strawberries comes from sugar. But it’s still lower in sugar than other popular fruits, including bananas and apples. A cup of sliced bananas has 34 grams of carbs and 30 grams of sugar, and a cup of sliced apples contains 15 grams of carbs and 13 grams of sugar.

"text": "Strawberries are among the first fruit to ripen in the Northeast. The flower buds formed last fall and were tucked away under a layer of straw for the winter. Then an early-spring heat wave pushed the plants along. That made the flowers open early, and growers kept busy protecting them from frost on cold nights, using sprinklers to form ice, which funny as it sounds, gives off heat when it forms. Now the berries are ready and hopefully the weather will be good throughout the harvest period so fruit losses are minimal and the customers come out and pick, too. In the Northeast, strawberry acreage isn’t large, but the crop is quite important to diversified vegetable and berry farms. Strawberries have a high value per acre and provide early season income. The 2007 Census of Agriculture counted 625 farms with 1,659 acres of strawberries in New York; Pennsylvania had 856 farms with 1,254 acres; Massachusetts had 195 farms with 337 acres. In Vermont, we had 122 farms with 185 acres of strawberries. A typical yield is about six thousand pounds an acre, so over a million pounds of Vermont strawberries must be picked and eaten in a relatively short time."

Strawberry lemonade, strawberry rhubarb pie, strawberry jam, and best of all, freshly picked plump ripe strawberries. Strawberries are hybrid fruits that are cultivated worldwide to produce, in my opinion, one of the most delicious treats of all time. The garden strawberry that we know so well and enjoy so readily this time of year is the result of breeding two species the wild plant, one from Eastern North America and one from Chile, and first introduced in France in the 18th Century. The result is a fruit that is not a true botanical berry such as grapes, blueberries, and blackberries, but rather an aggregate accessory fruit, meaning that some of the fruit’s flesh is derived not from the ovary but from some adjacent tissue exterior to the carpel or gynoecium. Once referred to as “false fruits,” other examples of accessory fruits include figs, mulberries, and other pomes such as apples and pears. In addition to being best enjoyed freshly picked, strawberries are prepared into a number of tasty treats such as creams, pies, cereal bars, and smoothies. In Greece, one particularly favorite use of strawberries, is to sprinkle them with sugar before dipping them in Metaxa, a type of brandy. This is a popular dessert there. Beer lovers may notice that the fruit ihas become more and more popular as a flavor component in malted barley brewed beverages."

"text": "Jump to Grow Plant Harvest Varieties Problems Recipes Grow Water frequently while new plants are establishing. Also water during dry periods in the growing season. Water from the bottom as water from overhead can rot the crown and fruit. During the growing season, give strawberry plants a liquid potash feed – such as a tomato feed – every 7 to 14 days. In early spring, apply general fertiliser such as Growmore at a rate of 50g per sq m (2oz per sq yd). In a heated greenhouse or conservatory, it is possible to bring forward flowering by several weeks, so long as the temperature does not go above 16°C (61°F), because this will inhibit flowering. You will also need to hand pollinate the flowers. As fruits start to develop, tuck straw underneath them to prevent the strawberries from rotting on the soil. Otherwise use individual fibre mats if these are not already in position. The straw or matting will also help to suppress weeds."

Characteristics of strawberry guava Effects of strawberry guava on native forests Frequently asked questions (FAQs)Multimedia gallery Characteristics of Strawberry Guava Strawberry guava ( Psidium cattleianum) is native to southeastern Brazil. It commonly grows there in coastal plains and Atlantic forests up to about 4,000 feet (1200 m) in elevation and is occasionally cultivated as an ornamental fruit tree. In Brazil, strawberry guava typically ranges from 3 to 16 feet (1 to 5 m) in height, and its fruit is variable, yellow varieties being more common than red. In 1825, strawberry guava was brought to Hawaii for its fruit and ornamental attributes. It is now common on all of the major Hawaiian Islands between sea level and 4,000 feet in elevation, especially in landscapes that receive moderate to high amounts of rainfall. The tree spreads by both shoots and seeds and grows fast in Hawaii, owing in part to the absence of the predators and diseases found in its native Brazil. Nonnative birds and pigs, which consume the fruit, also play a significant role in spreading strawberry guava to new areas within Hawaii. Strawberry guava's fruit are edible and can be made into juice and other food products. Its smooth bark and glossy leaves also make it an appealing ornamental species."

"text": "Up Next Strawberries are bursting with delicious flavor, and they help with weight loss by eliminating the need for a fatty sweet. Luscious strawberries are the most popular berries and are unique because they are the only fruit with seeds on the outside rather than on the inside. In season, quality strawberries need no extra sweeteners or toppings. These delicate heart-shaped berries range in size from tiny wild varieties to larger cultivated ones. Generally, smaller varieties are more flavorful. Unfortunately, today's cultivated berries are bred with durability, not flavor, in mind. Still, in late spring and early summer, you can find superbly sweet strawberries at farmers' markets and green grocers. Health Benefits As with all berries, they are a fabulous fiber find, with those little seeds providing insoluble fiber that keeps you regular and helps fend off digestive system woes, including hemorrhoids and varicose veins. Most of all, strawberries are a super source of vitamin C, even better than oranges or grapefruit. Strawberries are also a good source of potassium."

( 1)I began making infused water back in April 2012 with my first infused water post Day Spa Apple Cinnamon Water . That recipe turned out to be really popular, and went viral on Pinterest with over 2 million views within the first year. Since then, I have created a lot more infused water recipes, and written a book called Fruit Infusion: A Collection of Day Spa Inspired, Fruit Infused Waters. These simple infused water recipes are inexpensive, have almost zero calories, and taste great too!What Is Infused Water? Also called detox water, fruit flavored water, or fruit infused water; infused water can generally be any combination of fruits, vegetables, and herbs immersed in cold water. While infused water has the benefit of being full of flavor, it also has no calories, making it a very powerful tool in your efforts to lose weight and gain better health. For a full one week detox plan, check out my Detox Diet Week post and give your weight loss a kick start, try a detox smoothie, or a Detox Tea for a hot water detox drink.

"text": "\"VCE Publications / 2906 / 2906-1386Frost/Freeze Protection in Strawberries2906-1386Jeremy A. Pattison, Small Fruit Research and Extension Specialist, Virginia Tech, Southern Piedmont ARECEven though the coldest part of the season has past, beware of temperature fluctuations during bloom that can plunge below freezing and damage emerging flowers. Strawberry crowns are fairly tolerant of low temperatures when fully dormant. However, as the plant awakens, re-hydrates tissues and begins to grow there is a concurrent loss of cold tolerance. Additionally, flower structures begin to emerge from the crown, which are sensitive to low temperatures, and will require some form of protection to avoid damage. Not all frost/freeze events will be similar and strategies to protect your crop can be modified appropriately based on the weather conditions and stage of crop development. There are generally two types of freeze conditions strawberry plants will experience in the field, radiation and advective freezes. Radiation freezing results when heat from the atmosphere and ground is lost continuously to a cloudless sky on a cold, windless night. Advective freeze events occur when temperatures drop below freezing and are accompanied by high winds. The latter presents growers with a challenge in protecting the crop and alternative strategies are required if freeze damage is to be avoided. Under radiational type freezes, overhead irrigation is the typical strategy employed for frost protection."

I always thought them to be the best of fruits – of course, they are not called the queen of fruits for no reason!Did you know that the name ‘strawberry’ is a misnomer as it is not a berry at all? Well, neither did I. Strawberries are considered as an accessory fruit as their fleshy part is not comprised of the plant’s ovaries but of the receptacle that holds the ovaries. A strawberry is an aggregate of several small fruits, each containing one single seed called ‘achene’. Thus, it is the only fruit that has seeds on the outside. Health Benefits Of Strawberries Strawberries can benefit you in numerous ways, and you can use them in several ways to make the most of what they have to offer.

If you’ve been on a quest to find hard liquor that’s not too strong but still provides enough of a kick so it doesn’t need plenty of high calorie mixers, consider rum. Rum is distilled alcoholic drink made from sugarcane products that include molasses, which is what gives it such a sweet taste. The aging process is what gives rum its dark brown color, but you can find rum in ‘golden’ and ‘dark’ variations. Keep reading to get more information on how many calories are in rum!Rum Calories The calories found in rum differ depending on the percentage of alcohol in the rum, also known as proof. Eighty-proof alcohol is what you’re most likely to find in popular bars and restaurants as well as liquor stores. So how many calories in 80-proof rum? There are 64 calories in one ounce of rum. But the greater the percentage of alcohol in rum, the more calories there will be. There are 73 calories per ounce in rum that is 90-proof, which just means that it is made up of 45% alcohol. And the highest proof, 100-proof rum has 82 calories per ounce."

You learn about lots of healthy, filling meals and snacks that can help you not only weigh less but also feel your very best. This healthy meal plan for weight loss includes all kinds of satisfying, hunger-curbing foods like mustard-coated salmon, sweet potatoes, and hearty Italian-style soups. DAY 1Breakfast Oatmeal with Fresh or Frozen (No Sugar Added) Fruit By switching from a bowl of cold, dried cereal to one of hot whole-grain cereal and fruit, you’d take in approximately 100 fewer calories each day. That one simple change to your daily diet could help you drop about 10 pounds in one year. Plus, hot cereal has more “staying power.” It tends to fill you up better – and longer – than dried cereal. Tea or Coffee If desired, add a little nonfat milk or soymilk and a packet of sugar substitute (a good choice is Splenda). Mid-Morning Snack (enjoy only if hungry)Veggie-Salsa Tortilla1 steamed 6-inch corn tortilla with fresh or grilled vegetables (such as onions, green bell peppers, and tomatoes) and no-added-salt salsa.

"text": "Meal Replacements Under the Spotlight Reviewed by Dietitian, Juliette Kellow BSc RDTweet With summer just around the corner, it’s likely many of us will be tempted to stray from our usual sensible diet plan and instead try something a little more extreme to quickly shift those pounds. But while ‘miracle’ pills, patches and potions abound, the number one choice for many of us are meal replacement diets. Yes, in desperate times – we’re talking two weeks until we have to bare all on the beach – many of us are prepared to survive on just one meal each evening and fill up on strawberry shakes, tomato soup and chocolate bars during the day. What’s the theory? As most Weight Loss Resources members know, to lose weight we need to take in fewer calories than our body needs. When this happens, we draw on our fat stores to provide us with the extra energy we require to function properly. In the long term, this means we lose fat – and as a result, the pounds drop off. Quite simply, meal replacement products offer a way to help us control our calorie intake, without having to worry about counting them for two meals a day. Ultimately, most plans provide around 1,200-1,400 calories each day. How do I follow it?"

Find out some of the healthiest foods to eat for heart health, weight loss and healthier skin. Choosing nutritious foods helps your health in two ways. First, a diet packed with fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, lean proteins and healthy fats helps you feel fuller on fewer calories, which is key in keeping your weight in check.

Watch: How Vegetables Can Help You Lose Weight1. Green Beans Filling up on green beans, and other high-fiber foods, can help you prevent weight gain or even promote weight loss—without dieting—suggests new research in The Journal of Nutrition. Researchers found that women who increased their fiber intake generally lost weight while women who decreased the fiber in their diets gained. The scientists boiled the findings into a single weight-loss formula: boosting fiber by 8 grams for every 1,000 calories consumed resulted in losing about 4 1/2 pounds over the course of the study."

"text": "\"Tweet (News Target) Stomach ulcers are small holes or sores in the gastrointestinal tract which affect millions of Americans every year. The most common major symptom of an ulcer is a burning or gnawing feeling in the stomach area that lasts from half an hour up to three hours. Usually, the pain occurs in the upper abdomen, but may sometimes occur below the breastbone. Fortunately, there are several natural remedies which can heal and soothe stomach ulcers without the risk of mainstream drugs. Appetite and weight loss are also common symptoms of ulcers. Other symptoms which may occur include recurrent vomiting, black stool, blood in the stool and anemia. Often ulcer pain is misinterpreted as heartburn, indigestion or hunger. A person with duodenal ulcers may experience weight gain due to eating more to ease discomfort. Also known as peptic ulcers, stomach ulcers are caused by the destruction of the gastric or intestinal mucosal lining of the stomach by hydrochloric acid, an acid normally present in the digestive juices of the stomach. Infection from the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is thought to play an important role in causing both gastric and duodenal ulcers."

Bloating makes our jeans feel a little bit tighter, puffs up our stomachs and can sometimes even give us gas and an uncomfortable feeling of pressure. Bloating is temporary—but you can help your body out by nibbling on certain bloat-busting foods, as well as avoiding a few that cause bloating to begin with. We talked to Diane Blahut, a clinical dietician at Johns Hopkins Nutrition Clinic in Baltimore, for tips on how to beat the bloat!Why does bloating happen?“Bloating is caused by excess air (gas) in the intestines,” Blahut says. It can happen for several reasons: food allergies and intolerances, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation and pre-menstrual syndrome —but more often than not, eating certain foods that either produce gas or cause your body to retain water is the culprit. The way that you eat a food can also make you bloat, too—like eating too quickly or drinking from a straw. “ Air can get into your digestive system by being swallowed. To minimize the amount of air you swallow, eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly,” Blahut says. Bloating is rarely serious, but as it is sometimes associated with certain digestive disorders and allergies, Blahut recommends seeing a doctor if you have frequent, uncomfortable bloating. “"

Normally, a male has up to 5 pus cells/hpf (high power field of microscope) and a female may have 10 pus cells/hpf. Thus, pus cells in urine greater than 10 pus cells/ microlitre of urine can be termed as pyuria, the medical term for pus cells in urine. This condition of increased pus cells in urine indicates that there is something wrong in your urinary tract which can be anywhere from kidney to your bladder. Usually this is an infection. Some of the common causes of pus cells in urine include urinary tract infection, kidney infection, sexually transmitted diseases, or an abscess near the kidney. Sometimes, pyuria may also be caused by presence of stones in the urinary passage or some kind of surgery there and not because of any infection. It is of utmost importance that you get your urine tested in laboratory to find out the intensity of the problem with pus in your urine so that right treatment can follow as this condition is a symptom for some other disease and not a disease itself. If there is nothing very serious, you may treat it with certain home remedies for pus cell in urine. Remedies for Pus Cells in Urine1."

"text": "Home Remedies for Gastritis (33)Prev 1 of 3 Next Gastritis can be defined as inflammation, irritation or erosion of the lining of the stomach, known as the gastric mucosa. All or part of the gastric mucosa may be involved, thus it can be classified as acute or chronic. Symptoms of gastritis vary from person to person, and many people have no symptoms at all. However, the most common symptoms are nausea, vomiting, a feeling of fullness in the upper abdomen after eating, a burning or gnawing feeling in the stomach between meals or at night, indigestion, heartburn, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, dark stools and bloating. While there are several reasons why people suffer from gastritis, there are four primary causes: infection of the stomach mucosa by the Helicobacter pylori bacteria, vitamin B12 deficiency, taking too many pain relievers or other anti-inflammatory drugs, and acidic and spicy foods and drinks. Those who drink too much alcohol, older adults and people suffering from diseases and conditions like HIV/AIDS, Crohn’s disease and parasitic infections are at a higher risk of getting gastritis. Viral or fungal infections and stress can also be contributing factors. Mild cases of acute gastritis usually clear up within a few days. Plus, you can try simple home remedies along with lifestyle and diet modifications to prevent and control the problem. However, if you suffer from chronic gastritis and experience a lot of discomfort, it is advisable to consult your doctor as it can lead to ulcers."

These are important for strong healthy bones. Vitamin C also helps the body heal from injuries and aids in absorption of the accompanying iron.

I have found that you can eat anything or nothing at all and still have swelling. Internal: Internal organs are especially sensitive with lupus patients.

"text": "Home » Blogs » Dr. Ben Kim's blog How To Soothe An Inflamed Stomach Posted by Dr. Ben Kim on Apr 23, 2013Natural Health Solutions If you connect with those who encourage a 100% raw food diet for optimal health, I hope that you'll read this post with an open mind. In my experience, eating plenty of fresh, nutrient-rich raw foods is a huge plus for most people. But where there is a long history of gastrointestinal distress, I have consistently found that during the initial phases of healing and recovery, it's actually better to eat more cooked foods than raw. Please note that this opinion isn't based on theory - it's based on working intimately with people with a wide range of GI conditions, from those with ulcerative colitis who have suffered with bloody diarrhea dozens of times daily, to those with more manageable conditions like mild gastritis or a peptic ulcer. If your GI tract - specifically, the muscles that govern its contractile waves and the mucosal lining that regulates processing of the foods that you eat - has been damaged by many years of inflammation, eating large quantities of plant fibers can actually further stress weakened areas. When you cook plant foods, you soften their fibers, making it easier for your GI tract to break down these foods and extract nutrients from within. Where there is pain from inflammation and ulcerations, I find that potato soup is a reliable soothing remedy. I routinely advise clients to blend steamed Yukon gold potatoes with mineral rich broth (vegetable, chicken, or beef broth work equally well), and to have nothing but this soup until their pain abates. As chronic GI inflammation subsides, you can use a blend of potatoes and other cooked vegetables in soups as preventive tonics to protect against further irritation of a sensitive GI mucosal lining. A good example of this type of soup can be found here: Roasted Cauliflower and Potato Soup In the above example, we combine potatoes with well cooked cauliflower and shallots or onions, but you can blend broccoli, spinach, or any other vegetables along with the potatoes, provided that they are first softened by cooking."

"text": "Foods for Constipation Last Updated: May 20, 2015Constipation is a common and uncomfortable digestive health problem in which the stool gets hardened and won’t pass through the bowels smoothly. In this case, you feel bloated and have little of pain. This problem rises due to high intake of fatty foods, preservatives, lack of laxatives, less intake of water and fiber food in the diet. In some cases, people develop anal fistula in inner tissue of anal cavity that was injured by hard stool and pressure in it and cause bleeding and pus formation. This problem makes you that not to concentrate on work and also unable to eat properly until and unless it overcome across this constipation and the discomfort caused by it. If you’re suffering with constipation for more than 2 – 3 times a week or having any severe pain or bleeding then you have to check it once with your doctor as it can be signs of any digestive disorders. In most cases, constipation causes due to lack of fiber and water content in the body. An average adult generally requires fiber that ranges from 25 – 30 grams per day to get regular bowel movement. So plan your daily diet with more fiber filled foods and also drink more of fluids and liquids to get fiber flow properly in the digestive tract and to have normal and regular bowel movements to prevent constipation. The following are the list of foods which are very effective in treating constipation."

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

The plant is dried and ground up to make the powder, which is primarily used as a thickener in the kitchen, much like cornstarch. Much like cornstarch, it is an excellent thickening agent. It has about twice the thickening power of regular flour. Unlike cornstarch, however, arrowroot is completely flavorless and will not impart a starchy taste into puddings or other dishes that it is used to thicken. Another reason that arrowroot is called for in recipes is that it is extremely digestible, moreso than regular wheat flour. It can be used in cookies and crackers as a substitute for part of the flour, and you can find “arrowroot biscuits” in stores that are often said to sooth the stomach. It is also a very popular ingredient in gluten-free baking. Still, it’s primary use is as a thickener."

Each strawberry contains seeds on the outside of the skin that are consumed without any complication. If you develop an upset stomach from eating strawberry seeds, you need to talk with your doctor to determine the cause. The University of Maryland Medical Center states that strawberries are a common food allergen that can trigger a wide range of symptoms shortly after consumption. Avoid eating strawberries and strawberry seeds until you can be seen by your doctor. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Strawberry Seed Allergy If you’re allergic to strawberries, you’ll also have an allergy to the seeds. Besides, it is very unlikely that you’ll consume the seeds without the fruit. An allergic reaction transpires when you eat strawberry seeds because the immune system mistakes the proteins in the seed as harmful to your body. The immune system responds by creating immunoglobulin E antibodies that attack the strawberry proteins, according to Mayo Clinic.com. The production of these antibodies triggers mast cells to create histamine, which causes inflammation and swelling in soft tissue."

As a result treatment often simply involves 'resting up' and drinking lots of fluids to keep hydrated and flush the virus out. There are, however, several natural remedies for stomach flu that can make the whole experience a lot less unpleasant. Take ginger, for example. This 100% natural remedy for stomach flu works to soothe and settle the stomach, easing nausea and stomach cramps if you have them. You can have ginger in ginger ale or beer (carbonated drinks sometimes settle the stomach and allow you to burp), in the crystallized form, raw in a smoothie or in ginger tea (which is often the best remedy). Ginger is also a natural antioxidant that will clear your system and allow your body to concentrate on ridding itself of the virus. Other antioxidants include all kinds of berry. It's a great idea to make a juice or smoothie with blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and/or goji berries in it. Raw beetroot is also a good antioxidant and natural remedy for stomach flu that when mixed with ginger and carrot, tastes great."

In part, that's because there are more than 18,000 species of legume plants, growing on every continent save Antarctica, a vast number of which yield the edible seeds we know as pulses and beans. \"\" Seeds are our most durable and concentrated foods,\"\" Harold Mc Gee writes in On Food and Cooking. \"\" In fact,\"\" he adds, \"\"seeds gave early humans both the nourishment and the inspiration to begin to shape the natural world to their own needs...ten thousand turbulent years of civilization have unfolded from the seed's pale repose.\"\" And we don't just thrive on beans ourselves—we use them to feed our livestock, and even to fuel our machines. In many ways, beans make our world go 'round. Much of the popularity and proliferation of legumes is due to their ease of growth (legumes are self-pollinating) and tolerance to drought, which keep prices steady and low. Add their widely touted health benefits, a nitrogen-fixing growth cycle, and capacity for long-term storage, and you have something of a superfood. With their diverse range of flavors and applications, it's no surprise that beans have become cooking staples in almost every cuisine in the world.

Starch and Protein The basic groups in the Exchange List system are starches, fruits, vegetables, milk, meats and meat substitutes and fats. The starch group includes starches such as rice, pasta and bread as well as starchy vegetables such as beans, corn and potatoes. A starch exchange is one slice of bread, ½ cup of rice or pasta or ½ cup of starchy vegetables and each starch exchange contains about 15 g of carbohydrates, 3 g of protein, and 80 calories. Meats and meat substitutes are divided into categories depending upon their fat content.

Digestion of starch normally begins in the mouth where an enzyme, salivary amylase, is secreted, catalyzing the break up of the starch by hydrolysis. After a quick passage through our stomachs, additional breakdown of starch occurs in the small intestine with amylase secreted from the pancreas. Glycemia indicates glucose absorption rates, namely, the digestibility of certain starches. For further information on intestinal absorption physiology The Glycemic Index scale measures starch digestibility through comparison. Observation shows that, for similar portions of carbohydrates from one foodstuff to another, the postprandial Glycemic response can vary immensely since there are fractions of starches which cannot be digested and this is what determines their absorption rate. Several factors can cause these variations and the purpose of GIs is precisely to classify starches according to this variation in their digestibility. Glycemic Indexes.

They're widely used throughout Latin America, the Caribbean and the southern United States, but they're now available everywhere.

Eating SCD is a way to “re-boot” your digestion and give you an overall health boost. The diet will probably have you feeling better than ever, even if you don’t have any intestinal damage. But if you are one of the lucky few who needs a bit of digestive support this diet was created especially for you. Where Did SCD Come From?

"text": "Tips on Growing Organic Beans The beans I refer to here are the more common soup, chili, baking, salad and refry beans. Salt Spring Island, where I've been growing for the last 25 years, is situated in British Columbia's Gulf of Georgia between Vancouver and Victoria at 49°N. and 123°W. Salt Spring doesn't get the concentrated summer heat familiar to most continental growers. Summer days rarely go above 80°F (27°C). Annual rainfall is about 39 inches (100 cm), most of which falls between October and April. By the second week in September I usually will have harvested most of my bean varieties. So, unless you're at a latitude or an elevation where there are less than 100 frost free days, don't let concerns about getting dry beans to mature thwart your desire to grow them. I've made it my business to popularize dried beans, as I have been increasingly impressed by their versatility and food value as well as their easy culture and storage. If you are interested in becoming protein self-sufficient, growing dried beans is an excellent place to start. Many gardeners believe beans are not worth their growing space because of low yields and cheap availability. But I have found dozens of high-yielding, short season and great tasting dried beans that are not offered by stores or seed companies."

In botany the term legume has two meanings. Legume is a species of plant but the term also refers to any fruit that develops seeds lined up in a pod (most often the pod splits open down a seam on one side like “peas in a pod”). Legumes are also known as Pulses. Legumes are great sources of protein and fiber. I have written on this in many columns and sidebars on the Dr. Gourmet site.

While many refined carbs break down quickly in your body—causing you to accumulate belly fat and leaving you hungry all the time —if you choose the right starchy foods, it turns out they can actually help you trim down and finally tip that scale in your favor. We're talking about resistant starches, one of the most powerful waist-whittlers of them all. This class of carb acts in a similar way that soluble fibers do. By just looking at the name, we can glean what's going on in your gut: these carbs actually resist digestion, passing through your gut without being broken down, leading to prolonged feelings of fullness. Instead of feeding you, these resistant starches fuel the healthy gut bacteria in our small intestine, which ferment the fuel into butyrate, a fatty acid that encourages the body to burn fat as fuel instead of glucose. Higher levels of butyrate reduce inflammation in your body and help reduce insulin resistance as well. Less inflammation means less bloating and a slimmer you. On top of encouraging more efficient fat oxidation, studies also suggest that resistant starch can boost immunity, improve blood sugar control, and lower cancer risk. And that's not all—resistant starches may also play a role in controlling your hunger hormones."

While some refined starches, like white flour, should be avoided, there are lots of healthy starches to choose from. Whole grains, starchy vegetables and beans are excellent sources of healthy starches. Learning about healthy starches can arm you with the knowledge you need to make healthy food choices. Importance of Healthy Starches Starches contain concentrated carbohydrates, making them ideal for times when you need a lot of energy. In addition to carbohydrates, starches contain valuable calcium, iron, B vitamins and fiber. Fiber has many benefits, including regulating bowel movements, reducing cholesterol levels, controlling blood glucose levels and aiding in weight loss. Starchy Vegetables Starchy vegetables, such as corn, potatoes, squash, peas and yams, offer a variety of healthy benefits. Acorn squash, butternut squash, winter squash, white potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, corn and green peas are all rich in potassium, a mineral that helps preserve bone health and reduce blood pressure."

Next Section Abstract Evidence-based practice is an expected core competency of all health care clinicians regardless of discipline. Use of evidence-based practice means integrating the best research with clinical expertise and patient values to achieve optimal health outcomes. Evidence-based practice requires nurses to access and appraise evidence rapidly before integrating it into clinical practice. Role modeling and integrating the skills necessary to develop evidence-based practice into clinical and nonclinical courses is an important part in developing positive attitudes toward evidence-based practice, an essential first step to using evidence to guide practice decisions. The step-by-step approach to evidence-based practice proposed by Melnyk and colleagues provides an excellent organizing framework for teaching strategies specifically designed to facilitate nurses’ knowledge and skill development in evidence-based practice. Nurses are required to adhere to accepted standards of practice and professional performance. These standards mandate the use of evidence-based interventions and the integration of research findings into practice."

For other uses of the term assessment, see Assessment (disambiguation). Educational assessment is the systematic process of documenting and using empirical data on the knowledge, skill, attitudes, and beliefs to refine programs and improve student learning. [ 1] Assessment data can be obtained from directly examining student work to assess the achievement of learning outcomes or can be based on data from which one can make inferences about learning. [ 2] Assessment is often used interchangeably with test, but not limited to tests. [ 3] Assessment can focus on the individual learner, the learning community (class, workshop, or other organized group of learners), a course, an academic program, the institution, or the educational system as a whole (also known as granularity ). [ citation needed] The word 'assessment' came into use in an educational context after the Second World War. [ 4]As a continuous process, assessment establishes measurable and clear student learning outcomes for learning, provisioning a sufficient amount of learning opportunities to achieve these outcomes, implementing a systematic way of gathering, analyzing and interpreting evidence to determine how well student learning matches expectations, and using the collected information to inform improvement in student learning.

Overview and Introduction to Assessment Defining assessment:“Assessment” is a word that has multiple meanings, both within the educational context and outside of it. First and foremost, assessment is about student learning. As teachers, we are constantly assessing individual students’ performances against explicit and implicit benchmarks. When we “assess student learning outcomes” we are stepping back to get a bigger picture of learning than is represented by one student in one class section. We are trying to assess how our students as a whole are achieving across courses and throughout our curriculum. The goal is not to determine the success or failure of an individual student, or that of an individual faculty member, in a specific course. Rather, is our curriculum as a whole producing the types of graduates that we want to be known for? If so, where are the successes and how can we build on those strengths to make our programs even more successful? If not, where are the deficiencies and how can we improve them? Assessment of student learning provides the tools and opportunity to help us achieve our educational goals."

S. medical schools; admissions committees use this test to predict future accomplishment. Although there is evidence that the MCAT predicts success on multiple choice-based assessments, there is little information on whether the MCAT predicts clinical-based assessments of undergraduate and graduate medical education performance. This study looked at associations between the MCAT and medical school grade point average (GPA), Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) scores, observed patient care encounters, and residency performance assessments. Methods: This study used data collected as part of the Long-Term Career Outcome Study to determine associations between MCAT scores, USMLE Step 1, Step 2 clinical knowledge and clinical skill, and Step 3 scores, Objective Structured Clinical Examination performance, medical school GPA, and PGY-1 program director (PD) assessment of physician performance for students graduating 2010 and 2011. Results: MCAT data were available for all students, and the PGY PD evaluation response rate was 86.2% (N = 340). All permutations of MCAT scores (first, last, highest, average) were weakly associated with GPA, Step 2 clinical knowledge scores, and Step 3 scores. MCAT scores were weakly to moderately associated with Step 1 scores. MCAT scores were not significantly associated with Step 2 clinical skills Integrated Clinical Encounter and Communication and Interpersonal Skills subscores, Objective Structured Clinical Examination performance or PGY-1 PD evaluations. Discussion: MCAT scores were weakly to moderately associated with assessments that rely on multiple choice testing."

"text": "EXPLORING RELIABILITY IN ACADEMIC ASSESSMENTWritten by Colin Phelan and Julie Wren, Graduate Assistants, UNI Office of Academic Assessment (2005-06)Reliability is the degree to which an assessment tool produces stable and consistent results. Types of Reliability Test-retest reliability is a measure of reliability obtained by administering the same test twice over a period of time to a group of individuals. The scores from Time 1 and Time 2 can then be correlated in order to evaluate the test for stability over time. Example: A test designed to assess student learning in psychology could be given to a group of students twice, with the second administration perhaps coming a week after the first. The obtained correlation coefficient would indicate the stability of the scores. Parallel forms reliability is a measure of reliability obtained by administering different versions of an assessment tool (both versions must contain items that probe the same construct, skill, knowledge base, etc.) to the same group of individuals. The scores from the two versions can then be correlated in order to evaluate the consistency of results across alternate versions. Example: If you wanted to evaluate the reliability of a critical thinking assessment, you might create a large set of items that all pertain to critical thinking and then randomly split the questions up into two sets, which would represent the parallel forms. Inter-rater reliability is a measure of reliability used to assess the degree to which different judges or raters agree in their assessment decisions."

James Popham Educators are experiencing almost relentless pressure to show their effectiveness. Unfortunately, the chief indicator by which most communities judge a school staff's success is student performance on standardized achievement tests. These days, if a school's standardized test scores are high, people think the school's staff is effective. If a school's standardized test scores are low, they see the school's staff as ineffective. In either case, because educational quality is being measured by the wrong yardstick, those evaluations are apt to be in error. One of the chief reasons that students' standardized test scores continue to be the most important factor in evaluating a school is deceptively simple. Most educators do not really understand why a standardized test provides a misleading estimate of a school staff's effectiveness. They should. What's in a Name? A standardized test is any examination that's administered and scored in a predetermined, standard manner."

Classroom observation is a process by which the institute of nursing-Academic Support Person (ASP) sits in on one or more classroom sessions, records the instructor's teaching practices and student actions, and then meets with the instructor to discuss the observations. The main purpose behind the classroom observation is to allow a teacher to get feedback from an objective, experienced observer and to involve in context-specific discussions about teaching with adviser. The observation should not be an endorsement for promotion and tenure, a judgment of the teacher's teaching methods, styles and skills, or an assessment of the teacher's knowledge of disciplinary content. It is purely developmental rather than intimidation and making decisions. Classroom observation has been used many years ago to evaluate the quality of teaching provided and the consistency between the curriculum plan and the actual delivery of the material by teachers. Wagg (1999) stated that \"\"the purpose of looking at implementation is to see whether there is mismatch between intention and strategies\"\".

Good enough at what? How do we know? and Who should decide? \"\" This is so much better! \"\" commented Carla, a 4th grade teacher, following an evaluation conference with her supervisor: Before, I had no idea what my principal was looking for—I had to be a mind reader! So I just played it safe, taught a familiar lesson, one I knew would go well—but did the process improve my teaching? Not at all! In my old school, the principal just came in with a checklist, but we never really talked. But this time, we had a great conversation about how to help my students want to write."

"text": "December – 2014Promoting Distance Learners’ Cognitive Engagement and Learning Outcomes: Design-Based Research in the Costa Rican National University of Distance Education K. P. Joo 1, Carmen Andrés 2, and Rick Shearer 31 Korea National Open University, Korea, Republic of, 2 The Costa Rican National University of Distance Education, 3 The Pennsylvania State University, United States Abstract To explore effective learning design for students’ cognitive engagement, a design-based case study was conducted in a quality control course in the Costa Rican National University of Distance Education between the 2011 and 2012 academic years. The course was revised for the 2012 provision in terms of the assignment structure, the number of face-to-face sessions, and facilitation strategies. This study documents how the course redesign impacted the distance learners’ cognitive engagement and learning outcomes. Theories of cognitive engagement and transactional distance informed the design-based investigation. Research findings indicate that the design revisions positively influenced both students’ cognitive engagement and learning outcomes within this distance higher education context; however, the student performance represented by their assessment grades might not always reflect this improvement. Keywords: Distance higher education; transactional distance; cognitive engagement; learning outcomes; design-based research Introduction Design-based research integrates empirical investigation with theory-based learning design (Swan, Mattews, Bogle, Boles, & Day, 2012). The ultimate goal of design-based research is to improve students’ learning in real-world educational environments through systematic innovations (Wang & Hannafin, 2005). Since research and development simultaneously occur through continuous cycles of design, enactment, analysis, and redesign in a design-based research project (Cobb, 2001), this approach enables educators to elucidate “how, when, and why educational innovations work in practice” (The Design-Based Research Collective, 2003, p. 5). Particularly, design-based research entails the study of learning in context through systematic design and instructional strategies (Brown, 1992). It thus leads to “contextually-sensitive design principles and theories” (Wang & Hannafin, 2005, p. 7), which also can create a number of meaningful implications for distance education."

"text": "Understanding Standards Learning standards are one of the most important issues in public education today, influencing every dimension of our educational system, from high-stakes standardized testing to the topics and skills students are taught in school to the professional development that teachers need to be effective. But understanding learning standards—what they are, how they work, why they matter, and how they affect schools and students—is no easy task, particularly given the wide range of terms and synonyms that educators use when discussing the topic. The following guide, comprising a selection of our entries, is intended to provide a comprehensive introduction to learning standards and how they work in our education system, which extends to related standards-based strategies such as proficiency-based learning, curriculum mapping, and backward design. Our goal, quite simply, is to make this complex topic more accessible and understandable to journalists, parents, and community members—anyone with an interest and investment in our public schools. If you are looking for more detailed information and discussion, just click through to the full entries for each term. We also encourage educators to use this guide with their community, republish the content on their website, or print it out for use during meetings, discussions, and community forums. All of our entries and guides have been published under a Creative Commons license —so if it helps you out, go ahead and use it. As always, we welcome your recommendations for improvement.

"text": "Homeschooling Info for Miami-Dade County, FL• How does a parent/guardian register their child (ren) for the Florida Home Education Program in Miami-Dade County? The parent or legal guardian will need to submit a letter of intent to the Superintendant at the Miami-Dade County Public Schools, stating their intent to home educate their child (ren) which includes the student's name (s), address, birthdate (s), and parent’s signature. This letter of intent should be mailed to: Miami-Dade county Public Schools, Attendance Services, 489 East Drive, Miami Springs, Florida 33166. Sample Notice of Intent• What are the basic requirements? The parent/guardian must direct his/her child, with progressive instruction, in order to satisfy the requirements of Florida Statutes. The parent/guardian is responsible for the curriculum, materials, and textbooks, as well as the maintenance of a portfolio of samples of the child's work. The parent/guardian must also maintain a chronologically documented log of academic instruction and activities as well as a list of books used in their homeschooling. The student (s) must be academically evaluated each year, by one of the methods listed below, with the evaluation being filed with the Home Education office in Attendance Services by the annual anniversary date of the institution of your home school. In addition, a homeschool parent/guardian must make the portfolio, log, and list of books used available for inspection by a MDCPS representative, if they have been notified in writing by the county within 15 days. The inspection is only to make sure the portfolio is legal; the superintendant cannot evaluate its contents. ("

"text": "\"Home Response Rates and Accuracy Worried about the accuracy or validity of the course evaluations system? Online evaluations save money, lower staff workload, decrease the margin for error, preserve class time that would otherwise be spent on in-class evaluations, and allow quick data turnaround. Still, going online is a huge change from having paper evaluations. As a faculty member, you naturally care about the feedback your students have to offer, and want to keep the accuracy and volume of that feedback and high and quality as possible. Many faculty have questions about online evaluations, and wonder if online evaluations can retain the positives they’ve come to depend on with paper evaluations. Below, some common faculty concerns are detailed, along with some of the literature that speaks to those concerns. Are online evaluations as accurate as paper evaluations? Yes. There is a prevalent belief that paper evaluations will come closer than online evaluations, to a rating that most accurately reflects the quality of a faculty member’s teaching. If this was true, scores between paper and online evaluations would differ substantially."

"text": "Developed by the American Federation of Teachers National Council on Measurement in Education National Education Association This is not copyrighted material. Reproduction and dissemination are encouraged. 1990The professional education associations began working in 1987 to develop standards for teacher competence in student assessment out of concern that the potential educational benefits of student assessments be fully realized. The Committee [1] appointed to this project completed its work in 1990 following reviews of earlier drafts by members of the measurement, teaching, and teacher preparation and certification communities. Parallel committees of affected associations are encouraged to develop similar statements of qualifications for school administrators, counselors, testing directors, supervisors, and other educators in the near future. These statements are intended to guide the preservice and inservice preparation of educators, the accreditation of preparation programs, and the future certification of all educators. A standard is defined here as a principle generally accepted by the professional associations responsible for this document. Assessment is defined as the process of obtaining information that is used to make educational decisions about students, to give feedback to the student about his or her progress, strengths, and weaknesses, to judge instructional effectiveness and curricular adequacy, and to inform policy. The various assessment techniques include, but are not limited to, formal and informal observation, qualitative analysis of pupil performance and products, paper-and-pencil tests, oral questioning, and analysis of student records. The assessment competencies included here are the knowledge and skills critical to a teacher's role as educator."

Evaluation is the process of collecting data on a programme to determine its value or worth with the aim of deciding whether to adopt, reject, or revise the programme The developer or planner wants to know how to improve the curriculum product. The public want to know whether the curriculum implemented has achieved its aims and objectives Teachers want to know whether what they are doing in the classroom is effective2. Curriculum evaluation should be concerned with assessing the value of a program of study and a course of study a field of study3. Worthen and Sanders (1987) define curriculum evaluation as “the formal determination of the quality, effectiveness, or value of a programme, product, project, process, objective, or curriculum”4. Ornstein and Hunkins (1998) define curriculum evaluation as “a process or cluster of processes that people perform in order to gather data that will enable them to decide whether to accept, change, or eliminate something- the curriculum in general or an educational textbook in particular”5. Plan for Curriculum Evaluation The basis for evaluation Objectives of evaluation Curriculum description Evaluation report Evaluation design6. Need for Curriculum Evaluation To provide a conceptual framework for specific purpose of the evaluation. Several experts have proposed different models describing how and what should be involved in evaluating a curriculum."

"text": "All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vs. Four-Wheel Drive (4WD)What is the difference between an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) car and a Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) car? Both cars drive all four wheels so in one sense there is no difference except that AWD has become an accepted description for a car that drives all of the wheels, all of the time. 4WD is generally accepted as a car or more typically a larger SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) that uses a driver selectable system that mechanically engages the drive to all four wheels.4WD is normally used on large SUV Four-Wheel Drive (4x4) vehicles designed to use the extra traction of 4WD in off road situations. These vehicles are predominately truck based platforms with large wheels and off road tyres that combined with a manually selected and a locked 4WD driveline enables the vehicle to venture off-road and negotiate very difficult terrain. A locked 4WD driveline means that there is direct mechanical link between front and rear axles with no mechanism to allow any difference in the number rotations of the front and rear axles. This means that when the 4x4 vehicle turns a corner because the radius of turn is different for front and rear axles, the tyres on the axle with the smaller radius of turn must be able to slip on a loose slippery ground surface. If the ground surface is not slippery and the tyres do not slip, then the driveline (axles and propeller shaft etc) will twist and stress will be induced. This is known as ‘wind up’ and ultimately if the twist cannot dissipate the vehicle will no longer be able to move as it becomes ‘locked up’. This will generally only happen at lower speeds on ground surfaces with no slip. At higher speeds or on slippery road surfaces, the tyre is able to slip and the ‘wind up’ is released."

One-shot voice-recognition entry. Cons Less cargo space than most competitors. Lackluster power while passing. No connected navigation. Bottom Line The 2015 Buick Encore Premium AWD has a premium look and feel, along with unique features that are unmatched by other crossovers in this price range. Buick used to be known for big luxury boats and stodgy design, but the General Motors brand has successfully pivoted, and is now providing smaller, luxury-lite sedans. And with less being more since the recession — and small crossovers a hot-selling car segment — the 2015 Buick Encore Premium AWD fills a sweet spot in the brand's lineup, and a unique niche in the market. Even the base model comes with features found only on more expensive crossovers, like onboard 4G LTE connectivity."

"text": "\"First Drive: The 2017 Nissan Rogue Hybrid surprises and wows the crossover SUV segment BY Beverly Braga NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Monday, October 24, 2016, 7:01 AMfacebook Tweet email Car buyers don’t generally like surprises – expensive add-ons, inaccurate price quotes, unavailable anything. And when shopping the segment of mundane (i.e., utilitarian crossovers), unforeseen changes cause frustration as these vehicles are generally fixated on with a specific budget due to being seen as everyday family haulers at best and I-just-don’t-want-a-wagon at worst. Hence their annual uptick in sales, per a recent report from Bloomberg, which shows that the top 10 vehicles in year-to-date sales include two compact crossover SUVS: the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. Just outside this list is the Nissan Rogue. For 2017, Nissan introduces the first-ever hybrid variant for its Rogue compact SUV model line. ( Beverly Braga)FOLLOW DAILY NEWS AUTOS ON FACEBOOK. ' LIKE' US HERE. But that could soon change as Nissan recently announced its refreshed 2017 model and debuted the Rogue’s first-ever – surprise! – hybrid. After experiencing a fleeting but fulfilling drive with pre-production versions of the new crossover last month, it’s safe to say that while the 2017 Nissan Rogue Hybrid won’t ruffle any feathers, it’s an unexpected but welcome addition for consumers."

"text": "\"John Voelcker 19 Comments May 12, 2015 Follow John2015 Chevrolet Trax LT AWD, Catskill Mountains, NY, Apr 2015 2015 Chevrolet Trax LT AWD, Catskill Mountains, NY, Apr 2015 2015 Chevrolet Trax LT AWD, Catskill Mountains, NY, Apr 2015 2015 Chevrolet Trax LT AWD, Catskill Mountains, NY, Apr 2015 2015 Chevrolet Trax LT AWD, Catskill Mountains, NY, Apr 2015Image 1 / 5Sport-utility vehicles are all about hauling stuff, so collecting a set of 40-year-old wheels seemed like the perfect road test for the new 2015 Chevrolet Trax. The subcompact SUV offered cargo space for the wheels--which, frankly, would have fit into a sedan--along with decent gas mileage on our long highway trip from upstate New York to suburban Virginia and back. DON'T MISS: 2015 Chevrolet Trax - review The Trax is more accurately a subcompact crossover utility vehicle, built on the underpinnings of the Chevy Sonic hatchback, but with all-wheel drive available as an option. It's the least expensive Chevy with all-wheel drive, and while the styling won't turn any heads, it's a practical entry-level utility vehicle with decent space inside. Our weekend highway jaunt covered a total of 767 miles; over two tanks of gasoline, the trip computer logged an overall fuel-economy reading of 30.7 miles per gallon. That's about what we'd have expected from our AWD Trax, which is rated by the EPA at 27 mpg combined (24 mpg city, 31 mpg highway).2015 Chevrolet Trax The lighter front-wheel-drive Trax comes in slightly higher, at 29 mpg combined (26 mpg city, 34 mpg highway). And each of those ratings beats its sibling-under-the-skin, the all-wheel-drive Buick Encore, by 1 mpg. Eliminating the AWD, however, puts the Trax into competition with subcompact hatchbacks that offer higher fuel economy--right up to the 50-mpg Toyota Prius C hybrid. In the all-wheel-drive group, three somewhat larger Subaru compact models are rated higher: the XV Crosstrek at 29 mpg, and the XV Crosstrek Hybrid and standard Impreza hatchback at 31 mpg. ALSO SEE: 2015 Chevrolet Trax: First Drive The Trax had space for three of the 13-inch steel wheels in the rear load bay, with the four in a rear-seat footwell."

"text": "\"2016 Subaru Forester XT Review – More Isn’t Always More By Aaron Cole on October 16, 2015Tweet2016 Subaru Forester XT2-liter DOHC horizontally opposed 4, intercooled/turbocharged (250 horsepower @ 5,600 rpm; 258 pounds-feet of torque @ 2,000-4,800 rpm)Lineartronic continuously variable transmission (CVT) with manual modes, all-wheel drive23 city/28 highway/25 combined (EPA Rating, MPG)24.6 mpg on the 65/35 city/hwy “getting lost in suburbia” cycle (Observed, MPG)Tested Options: 7-inch Starlink Multimedia Navigation, Eye Sight Driver-Assist System, Steering Responsive Fog Lights, Auto Dimming Compass Mirror. Base Price (Forester XT): $34,645*As Tested Price: $36,250** All prices include $850 destination fee. According to my nephew and me: If one is good then 100 is a good place to start. My nephew is 11. I’m 33. Hopefully his gene pool is deeper than mine. But excess is extra good in my life. I appreciate a larger-than-I-need TV most nights and not one, but two, cheeseburgers in my value meals sometimes. If a Forester is good then a turbo Forester must be great according to my juvenile definition of the world. Already one of the best crossovers on the market, the Forester actually benefits from Subaru’s glacial powertrain pace: flat-four up front, all-wheel drive underneath — and they’ll check back sometime during the next decade."

"text": "\"Home Buying Do You Need an All-Wheel-Drive or Four-Wheel-Drive Car?by Ronald Montoya October 17th, 2017 buying Share: Car shoppers looking at any vehicle with all-wheel drive (AWD) or four-wheel drive (4WD) as an option face a difficult decision. Is AWD that much safer and worth the roughly $2,000 premium these systems command? The short answer is this: AWD and 4WD help a vehicle accelerate in slippery conditions, but they don't aid with braking and only sometimes improve handling. That said, you shouldn't necessarily cross the feature off your shopping list. The terms AWD and 4WD are often used interchangeably, but they operate differently and are found on different vehicles. The Edmunds Car Glossary defines the two as follows: Just because a car like this Audi S5 has AWD doesn't mean it's ready to hit the snow. The S5 comes standard with summer tires. Opting for 4WD on a pickup truck can decreased its combined fuel economy by 5 to 10 percent. Opting for 4WD on the 2013 Ford F-150 adds $3,725 and 250 pounds, and takes a 6 percent hit on its combined fuel economy. Just because a car like this Audi S5 has AWD doesn't mean it's ready to hit the snow."

I am considering the following,,, Subaru Forrester, Toyota Rav, Nissan Murano or Rogue. Would prefer 2006-2008Xebadaih 2008-09-30 18:08:21 UTC #2Out of those choices I’d pick the Toyota Rav unless you want AWD, then I’d go with the Subaru instead of the Rav. But that is just what I would do, those are all good vehicles. What you listed were all crossovers. Are there any suv’s you are very interested in? What is important to you in a vehicle, mpg, AWD, towing, interior space?texases 2008-09-30 18:24:46 UTC #3Latest Consumer Reports rates the Forester first among all small SUVs. I just bought an '07. Test drive the Murano and Rogue, they have terrible visibility to the rear, in my opinion. I didn’t get the Rav because I’ve seen several where the driver backed into something, hitting the spare tire and bending in the rear hatch."

"text": "\"Best AWD or 4WD wagon or crossover SUVGeneral Discussionbendgirl 2013-08-12 03:40:43 UTC #1My Geo Prizm took a crap and I’m looking to replace it. I have a budget of $10,000 and would like to get something with less then 150,000 miles on it but hopefully closer to 100,000. I’ve been looking at Honda CR-V’s, Toyota Rav4, and Subaru’s but leaning more towards a Honda CR-V. I’ve also been intrigued by the AWD Audi Quatro and AWD VW Passat but everyone that I talk to says both of those are expensive to repair at shops and difficult for the regular home mechanic to fix. I like they look pretty damn sexy but don’t want to pay an arm and a leg to fix it. I’d also like to keep my gas mileage as high as possible, in the 30’s on the hwy seems realistic. What are people’s thoughts on the best AWD or 4WD wagon or crossover SUV out there?bscar2 2013-08-12 04:20:05 UTC #2If you want 30mpg on the highway from a newer crossover, then you’re pretty much gonna be stuck with hybrid models or models out of your price range. The new Mazda CX-5 can get 35mpg on the highway, and that’s pretty much top of the heap for crossovers right now; and only in FWD versions, add AWD to it and your MPGs fall even lower. If you can lower your expectations to 25mpg, then your choices open up quite a bittexases 2013-08-12 04:28:35 UTC #3Avoid the Audi and VW, used ones can be money pits. For $10k and 30 mpg highway minimum, you’ll need to look at something besides a CUV/SUV, like @bscar2 said. Do you need AWD?"

John Le Blanc, Brian Harper, Lesley Wimbush, Honda, Driving, Honda Snow and ice are no match for these affordable, all-weather beastsby Paul Choi | November 3, 2015Small Medium Large Here in the Great White North (a.k.a. the zone of perpetual winter), every little bit helps when it comes to traversing the snow and ice. Winter rubbers are a must, of course. Traction control and antilock brakes are almost obligatory. Heated seats … well, that’s a bit of a luxury but, hey, take those, too, if you can. Oft-overlooked, however, is all-wheel drive. While it won’t necessarily make you invincible (driving too fast for the conditions will spell disaster regardless of the drivetrain), it will help you slice through the white stuff like butter and keep you on the straight and narrow when facing slippery conditions. RELATEDThink AWD makes you invincible in the snow? Think again Unlike standard two-wheel-drive setups, AWD (or four-wheel drive) systems allow all four wheels to receive torque from the engine."

"text": "\"LIVING / Finance NEXT STORYAre subscription boxes really worth the money? Dec 05, 2014by Jennifer Calonia Image: 401 (K) 2013 via Flickr Print We put 4 popular subscription boxes to the test to see if they're worth the money Share Tweet Pin Share Tumble Comment Now Recently made popular by services such as Shoe Dazzle and Dollar Shave Club, modern subscription businesses have consumers digging into their wallets for monthly curated boxes of themed products. With as many as 191.1 million Americans shopping online in 2013, there's undoubtedly an audience for any and every niche, but the question remains: Are subscription boxes really worth their contents?1. Stitch Fix Not everyone has the Hollywood gravitas to merit — or afford — a personal stylist, but Stitch Fix is a fashion-friendly solution for women with a modest bankroll. The San Francisco-based subscription service requires subscribers to fill out a 40-question style profile, including measurements, personal style preferences, budget and lifestyle. A dedicated Stitch Fix stylist then reviews your profile and selects clothing and accessories he or she thinks align with your size, style and price point. Cost: $20 styling fee (applies as credit toward any purchase within the box) + balance of entire purchase (varies)Frequency: By request, unless automatic monthly shipment option is activated Inside the box: For my first box, I received a personalized note from my stylist about why she made the selections she did. She noted that the dress she picked out had a similar cut, color and look of an item I'd pinned (I knew exactly what she was referring to, so they do reference Pinterest boards). Here's what I received: Pixley Perry Hammered Disc Layered Necklace in Gold, $42TCEC Taira Faux Leather Jacket in Tan, $7441Hawthorn Franklin Striped Side Gathered Knit Shirt in Black, $58Just Black Jimmy Ankle Length Skinny Jean in Navy, $8841Hawthorn Elaine 3/4 Pleat Waist Dress in Burgundy, $74The merchandise total was $336, which is pretty steep considering I set all price preferences to \"\"the cheaper, the better\"\" in my profile. Stitch Fix does offer a 25 percent off discount when all five items in the box are purchased, so after applying my $20 styling fee credit, the total purchase price was $237 for everything in the box."

"text": "Zamplebox Review – The Best Vaping Subscription Box (2017)Monthly subscription boxes have increased quite a bit in popularity over the past couple of years, and the rate at which they’ve been growing is insanely impressive. Whether you’re looking for a subscription box that’s centered around clothing, makeup, video games, or even for making meals, you can bet that there’s a service out there for you. However, what about a monthly subscription box that’s made just for people like us who enjoy to vape? The idea itself isn’t crazy at all, but it’s a field that hasn’t been experimented with a whole lot just yet. Zamplebox is perhaps the most well-known company that’s ventured into the field of monthly subscription boxes for vapes and e-cigarettes, and with so few competitors out there in this field, I thought that now would be a better time than ever to do a review of Zamplebox and everything it’s bringing to the table. So, without any further ado, here’s by complete and in-depth Zamplebox e-liquid subscription review!Zamplebox Ratings Zamplebox Review The whole idea of monthly subscription boxes for vaping is still a relatively new concept, but there’s no doubt at all that Zamplebox is one of the leaders of this movement that’s quickly creating for a lot of talk and a lot of buzz. Some of the main highlights for Zamplebox includes an incredibly easy and simple process for signing up for the service, very snappy shipping times, and an impressive array of available products and discounts that are offered with each box that is sent out. All of the flavors of liquid that Zamplebox includes with their monthly boxes taste absolutely fantastic, and while I would like to see Zamplebox partner up with some bigger brands in the vaping world that are more well-known, this isn’t nearly enough of a reason to not consider giving the service a try. If you enjoy vaping and messing around with e-cigarettes, it should become quite clear early on throughout my review on Zamplebox as to why this company is the tops. CLICK HERE TO CHECK PRICES!Pros Very Easy-To-Understand Sign-Up Process Upon deciding that you’d like to give Zamplebox a try, you’ll need to visit the company’s website and go through the online signup process."

"text": "\"media.info Television How to How to get rid of Sky TV and save money on great television Here are some cheaper alternatives to Sky for TV without the monthly subscription cost By James Cridland Posted 3 February 2017, 8.12pm est James Cridland What are the alternatives to Sky? Sky TV can be expensive. As at February 2017, a full subscription to Sky, including HD, costs £80 a month - that's £960 a year. Even a cheap subscription to Sky+, excluding the movies and the sport, costs £22 a month - that's £264 a year. And all those costs are on top of the TV Licence fee, a charge of £145.50 which pays for the BBC domestic TV services, radio, and some S4C programmes. After you've been with Sky for many years, you can miss the advances on other platforms. And the benefits of Sky+ or Sky Q - one touch recording that records every single episode - are often cited as a good reason to keep Sky and the accompanying fees. In fact, you can get rid of Sky and still keep a large choice of channels - as well as all the benefits from a hard-disc recorder like Sky+. Here's what to look for. Have you got anything else from Sky?"

"text": "By John Patrick Pullen March 10, 2017With over-the-top television services like Direc TV Now, Playstation Vue, and Sling TV gaining popularity, the great unbundling is upon us — and it’s now easier than ever to dump your cable subscription for shows delivered via the Internet. But in order to watch your favorite online programs on a big screen, you’ll probably need a streaming media device (unless you have a smart TV or a games console.) Improving all the time, these media streaming devices can connect you to everything from Amazon Video to You Tube TV, with apps and games added to the mix, too. One caveat: Even if you cancel cable TV, you’ll still need to pay for Internet service to use these. Amazon Fire TVAffordable and easy to use, the Amazon Fire TV can do a lot for your living room for little money. The 4K-compatible streamer obviously connects with Amazon’s online video and rental store. And Amazon Prime members not only get the added perk of thousands of movies and television shows for free, but they can also subscribe to online channels like HBO Now, Showtime, and many others through the box, which has an ecosystem of more than 7,000 apps, including the usual suspects like Netflix and Hulu. Sling TV is also available if you want to bring live television to the mix. This is all standard fare for streaming boxes, but where the Fire TV ups its game is with its Alexa Voice Remote, which not only lets you search for content via voice control, but also brings Amazon’s Alexa assistant technology into your living room. Considering the Alexa-enabled Amazon Echo Dot costs $49, the $89 Fire TV — with its video streaming capabilities — is a heck of a deal. ("

The monthly option can be cancelled at any time and offers the same benefits as paying annually for a one-off sum of £79. Amazon wants to encourage people to sign up to Prime who have been put off by the annual fee and want the flexibility of being able to cancel. It might allow people to try the service at a lower cost but those who don't cancel the monthly subscription for 12 months will end up paying nearly £17 more. The total yearly cost of paying monthly is £95.88 compared to the £79 annual fee. Amazon Prime is now available for a monthly fee of £7.99 or an annual charge of £79 to most of the UKAmazon attracted some criticism in the last couple of years for the way it marketed this one-month free trial, with many Amazon-users feeling they had been hoodwinked into paying the £79 annual fee, which they then had to argue hard to get back. The new payment structure has been launched in the US but it is still in a 'testing' period in the UK so it is not yet available to everyone.

You CAN Do That On A Chromebook!Today we take a look at one area where a lot of people still harbour many misconceptions about Chromebooks - offline movie playback. Read More The idea of renting movies “offline” might remind you of the days when there used to be Blockbusters in almost every town, and prices ranged from $2 to $8 a rental. Once streaming movies on the Internet became commonplace, all of those rental stores went out of business. For a while, everyone could enjoy great movies with Amazon Prime, where you could rent great movies for $2.99 – a whole-night movie marathon might cost less than $20; less than the cost of going to the theater!Unfortunately, Amazon Prime hiked its prices, so all of those “affordable” movies are now roughly $3.99 or more.

First they make you purchase 2 times a month and the packaging is so ridiculously small that even at $6.95 subscription fee it's still a rip off.

"text": "\"Glands in the Skin Skin consists of several layers. Some of the accessory structures of the skin, e.g. hair follicles, sweat glands and oil glands originate in the dermis layer (of the skin) and protrude through the epidermis layer (of the skin) resulting in hairs, sweat and sebum (oil) emerging from the surface of the skin. There are several types of tiny structures call glands in the dermis. Different types of glands in the skin release different types of biochemicals. The chemicals emerge from the glands via pores (in the skin), which are tiny channels or openings through the outer (epidermis) layer of skin that open at the outer surface of the skin where they can release e.g. sweat, oils, etc.. This is important for many reasons incl. e.g. regulation of body temperature via release and evapouration of sweat and protection of the skin against fungal and bacterial infections by sebum. There are millions of pores and associated glands throughout the surface of the skin. Different areas of skin (parts of the body) have different quantities and concentrations of the different types of glands in the skin. How many different types of glands are located in and associated with the skin ? Some sources say that there are only 2 types of glands in the skin: sweat glands (sudoriferous glands) and oil glands (sebacious glands)."

If you've ever experienced a reaction to a sulfa drug, your doctor may have diagnosed you with a sulfa allergy. Inform other treating physicians of this allergy and your medical chart will be flagged with this information. If you're ever hospitalized, you may wear a bracelet that informs hospital personnel that you have a sulfa allergy. But sulfa drugs and foods that contain sulfites or sulfates aren't chemically related, so you don't have to worry about sulfa in your diet. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Sulfa Allergy Antibiotics such as Co-Trimoxazole, sold under the brand name Septrin; Sulfamethoxazole, brand-name Gantanol; and Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole, brand name Bactrim; are classed as sulfonamides. These drugs may be used to treat bacterial infections of the digestive or reproductive tracts. They're effective for many people, but some people develop an immune system response to sulfonamides that produces an allergic reaction. The sufonamide bonds to human protein, producing large molecules that can cause you to break out in hives, or swelling of the lips and other mucous membranes, or even difficulty breathing.

Crohn’s disease causes parts of the GI tract to become inflamed. It can affect any part of the GI tract, but it’s usually found in the colon. Ulcers (sores or lesions), fistulas (openings), or cracks can develop in the intestines. These problems can block the passage of food and waste. Crohn’s is a chronic disease. There is no cure.

These drugs have a variety of uses and can be classified into antibiotics and non-antibiotic drugs. Sulfonamide-containing drugs are frequently implicated in allergic and non-allergic reactions.

Types of non-allergic reactions to sulfonamide antibiotics include nausea and diarrhoea, candidiasis, folate deficiency, and headaches. Sulfa allergy The term “sulfa allergy” (or “sulphur allergy”) most commonly refers to an immunological response to sulfonamide antibiotics.

Sulfites or sulphites are compounds that contain the sulfite ion (or the sulfate (IV) ion, from its correct systematic name), SO 2−3. The sulfite ion is the conjugate base of bisulfite. Although its acid ( sulfurous acid) is elusive, [1] its salts are widely used. Sulfites are substances that naturally occur in some foods and the human body.

In each resonance structure, the sulfur atom is double-bonded to one oxygen atom with a formal charge of zero (neutral), and sulfur is singly bonded to the other two oxygen atoms, which each carry a formal charge of −1, together accounting for the −2 charge on the anion. There is also a non-bonded lone pair on the sulfur, so the structure predicted by VSEPR theory is trigonal pyramidal, as in ammonia (NH 3 )."

"text": "Sulfur is a nonmetallic chemical element which appears in numerous forms and compounds. It is used extensively in many industries, as are its ions, such as sulfides and sulfates. In addition to having industrial applications, sulfur is also an important part of all living organisms, and it is also used as a food source by some bacteria, such as those found around hydrothermal vents. On the periodic table of elements, sulfur is identified by the symbol S. The element has an atomic number of 16, and a number of different ions. An ion is a form of an element which has gained or lost electrons, changing the chemical structure and electrical charge of the element. Many consumers are familiar with sulfites, sulfur ions which are used in the preservation of many food products. Sulfates, another common ion, are used in a number of applications. There is some dispute over the spelling of sulfur. In the United States, and many other countries, the word is “sulfur.” In nations which use British English, the name is more usually spelled as sulphur."

Sulphur exists in many forms, and individuals allergic to elemental sulphur may also be allergic to sulfites used as preservatives in foods and medications, and sulfate compounds used in soaps, cosmetics and drugs. An allergic reaction to sulphur is categorized as a sulfonamide allergy, sulfite allergy or sulfate allergy. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Sulfonamide Type 1 Allergic reaction Three percent of patients develop a sulfonamide allergy reaction to compounds containing the SO2NH2 moiety. This allergic reaction is typically caused by sulfonamide antibiotic drugs, including Sulfamethoxazole, Sulfadiazine and Sulfacetamide. The allergic reaction these antimicrobial agents is caused by an improper breakdown of the aromatic amine connected to the sulfone group. A type 1 Ig E mediated immune reaction is the most type of allergic reaction to sulfonamides, and caused by the release of histamine into the blood. The most common symptom of this allergic reaction is the development of a maculopapular or urticarial rash within one to three days of drug administration. The rash may be flat or raised, and begins as discreet pink or red spots that begin on the trunk of body, and eventually cluster together to form sheets of blotchy rashes on the extremities. A urticarial rash, also known as hives, typically occur within 24 of exposure to the drug, and results in itchy, swollen, raised spots with a pale center."

There is a common misconception that all sulfonamide drugs have the potential to cause allergy, but this is not entirely true. Antibiotic sulfonamides (used to treat bacterial infections) are more likely to trigger an allergic reaction than nonantibiotic ones. While all drugs have the potential to cause an allergy, non-antibiotic sulfonamides are less likely sources. Overview In the majority of cases, a person with a sulfa allergy will have experienced an allergic reaction to one or more of the following antibiotic drugs: Septra (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim)Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim)Pediazole (erythromycin and sulfafurazole)These reactions are not all that uncommon and affect around three percent of all people. This is a rate similar to what is seen with other types of antibiotics, including penicillin. Certain people appear to be at higher risk of sulfa allergy than others. These include individuals who, for various reasons, metabolize the drug slowly or have a suppressed immune system (such organ transplant recipients and people with HIV). Symptoms The symptoms and severity of a sulfa allergy can vary but typically involve the appearance of a widespread rash. Hives and light sensitivity ( photosensitivity) are also common."

Sulfamethoxazole is an antibacterial sulfonamide Sulfonamide (also called sulphonamide, sulfa drugs or sulpha drugs) is the basis of several groups of drugs. The original antibacterial sulfonamides are synthetic antimicrobial agents that contain the sulfonamide group. Some sulfonamides are also devoid of antibacterial activity, e.g., the anticonvulsantsultiame. The sulfonylureas and thiazide diuretics are newer drug groups based upon the antibacterial sulfonamides. [ 1] [2]Allergies to sulfonamide are common. According to data the overall incidence of adverse drug reactions to sulfa antibiotics is approximately 3%, close to penicillin; [3] hence medications containing sulfonamides are prescribed carefully.

These reactions may be caused by food, insect stings, medications, and some foods. Although sulfites are not considered to cause a true allergic reaction, sulfite sensitive people may experience similar reactions as those with food allergies. Trim Down Club, Jan 29, 2013 Sulfites are substances that used as food additives and preservatives to maintain food color and prolong shelf-life, prevent the growth of micro-organisms, and maintain the potency of certain medications. Sulfites are used keep potatoes white and lettuce green, and are also used in the production of some food packaging materials (e.g. cellophane). Sulfites are considered generally safe to eat for the majority of consumers. However, asthmatics, and people who are prone to allergies or deficient in the enzyme sulfite oxidase, tend to have more problems with sulfites. Sulfite Oxidase converts sulfites to sulfates, which are not harmful. Sulfites can trigger asthma and symptoms of anaphylaxis, which is a life-threatening allergic-type reaction where breathing and heart activity are impaired. Even when no sensitivity to food containing sulfites has been reported, there have been reported reactions to inhaled sulfites which caused an allergic reaction,."

However, they need to be used in a responsible manner, and producers should strive to minimize drug use and not use drugs in place of good management and feeding practices. In the US, drugs are approved (for use) by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA). Some drugs may be purchased over-the-counter (OTC), without veterinary involvement, whereas other drugs require a veterinary prescription (Rx). OTC drugs are available from from many sources, including veterinarians, feed and farm supply stores, and via the internet. Prescription (Rx) drugs can only be purchased and used under the guidance of a licensed veterinarian. Usually, they must be purchased from a veterinarian.

Unorganized sediment includes amorphous structures such as urates and phosphates as well as crystals. Crystals are termed unorganized urinary sediment although they usually manifest distinct, specific, and characteristic forms. In general, crystals found in urine have little or no diagnostic importance. Most of them have been precipitated because they are present in excessive amounts or their solubility has changed as a result of temperature decrease. Crystal deposition is also likely if the urinary p H has altered due to changes in dietary habits. Although the majority of crystals found in fresh urine are not clinically significant, they may be important if present in large numbers; in this case, they may be associated with the formation of urinary calculi. Likewise, certain other pathologies are accompanied by the excretion of abnormal crystals (for example, cystinuria) or by elevated excretion of normal sediments (for example, gout).b."

Acetaminophen Toxicity in Cats and Dogs Tufts University KEY FACTS I The toxic dose of acetaminophen is 10 mg/kg in cats and 150 to 200 mg/kg in dogs. I Cats have deficiencies in glucuronide and sulfate conjugation that contribute to acetaminophen toxicity. I Cats are more susceptible to methemoglobinemia and Heinzbody anemia, whereas dogs are more prone to hepatic necrosis. I Precursors of glutathione synthesis, such as N-acetylcysteine, are essential for treatment of acetaminophen toxicity. Nancy S. Taylor, DVM Nishi Dhupa, BVM, MRCVS ABSTRACT: Acetaminophen toxicity continues to occur in veterinary patients. Dogs are more prone to the hepatic necrosis that occurs with such toxicity, whereas cats are more prone to methemoglobinemia and Heinz-body anemia. The primary goal of treatment is to decrease formation of the reactive intermediate N-acetyl-para-benzequinoneimine."

Furosemide is a sulfonamide, but not a thiazide. Sulfamethoxazole is an antibacterial sulfonamide Sulfonamide (also called sulphonamide, sulfa drugs or sulpha drugs) is the basis of several groups of drugs. The original antibacterial sulfonamides are synthetic antimicrobial agents that contain the sulfonamide group. Some sulfonamides are also devoid of antibacterial activity, e.g., the anticonvulsantsultiame. The sulfonylureas and thiazide diuretics are newer drug groups based upon the antibacterial sulfonamides. [ 1] [2]Allergies to sulfonamide are common. According to data the overall incidence of adverse drug reactions to sulfa antibiotics is approximately 3%, close to penicillin; [3] hence medications containing sulfonamides are prescribed carefully. It is important to make a distinction between sulfa drugs and other sulfur-containing drugs and additives, such as sulfates and sulfites, which are chemically unrelated to the sulfonamide group, and do not cause the same hypersensitivity reactions seen in the sulfonamides.

"text": "\"Side Effects of Sodium Sulfiteby ANGELA BRADY Oct. 03, 2017If you've browsed the high-end section at a wine cellar, you may have noticed labels that say \"\"no added sulfites.\"\" That designation may not mean much to you, but to a small portion of the population, it means the difference between a relaxing glass of wine and a possible trip to the emergency room. The \"\"sulfites\"\" on the label refer partly to sodium sulfite, a food and beverage preservative that was widely used in the first half of the 20th century, until a rash of adverse reactions prompted new regulation. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Sulfites Sulfites are food additives that help preserve freshness. Sodium sulfites in particular were commonly added to fresh produce and meats to help retain color until reactions of varying severity began arising, prompting the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, to take action. After a lengthy investigation into the possible health risks of sulfites, the FDA restricted their use in 1986, disallowing their use in fresh produce or foods containing vitamin B-1, which is destroyed by sulfites. The only exception to the rule is pre-cut potatoes, for which no suitable substitute preservative has been found. Producers of foods containing sulfites are, however, required to declare the presence of sulfites in quantities greater than 10 parts per million on the label. Side Effects Sulfite sensitivities can manifest in symptoms as mild as a headache or as severe as anaphylactic shock, and they can occur within 15 to 30 minutes after ingestion. Most reactions are mild, resulting in wheezing or respiratory irritation, but severe symptoms can include a narrowing of the airways and difficulty breathing, and emergency treatment may be required."

However, do these food additives really “add” any value to your food? Food additives find their way into our foods to help ease processing, packaging, and storage, but how do we know which food additives are in that box of macaroni and cheese, and why does it have such a long shelf life? A typical American household spends about 90 percent of their food budget on processed foods and in doing so they get exposed to a plethora of artificial food additives, many of which can have serious consequences to your health. Some food additives are worse than others. Here’s a list of the top food additives to avoid:1. Artificial Sweeteners Aspartame, (E951) more popularly known as Nutrasweet and Equal, is found in foods labeled \"\"diet\"\" or \"\"sugar-free\"\". Aspartame is believed to be carcinogenic and accounts for more reports of adverse reactions than all other foods and food additives combined. Aspartame is not your friend.

If wine and dried fruit don't cause you much trouble, you probably don't have to worry about sulfites. When you suspect a sulfite allergy or intolerance, the logical thing to do is try avoiding sulfites. If this helps you to feel better, you have made a great discovery. Sensitive people have many different reactions to sulfites and sulfur dioxide including typical allergic symptoms like hives, rosacea, facial swelling, throat constriction, leg cramps, digestive upsets, headache and allergic shock. Many diseases are complicated by sulfites including autism, asthma, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, G6PD deficiency, heart arrhythmia, irregular blood pressure, thyroid and liver problems, Marfan syndrome and Behcet's vasculitis. If any of these symptoms or diseases is not under control, you might try avoiding the major sources of sulfite as suggested by the following chart. Easy List of Foods to Avoid Age Avoid for Reduced Sulfite Exposure All Instant potatoes, dried fruit, lemon juice concentrate, molasses, taurine, biotin, fastfood french fries, hash browns or pizza, plus any food with a label that declares sodium sulfite, bisulfite, metabisulfite or sulfur dioxide."

As a result of several deaths related to the use of sulfites on raw foods (especially in cafeterias and salad bars where vegetables were soaked in a sulfite solution for long periods of time), the FDA banned its use on raw fruit and raw vegetables. Sulfites are also used in food packaging. Labeling is required when added sulfites exceed 10ppm (FDA) and 10mg/kg (EU). Products that include ingredients that contain sulfites, do not need to indicate that sulfites are present."

"text": "Loren Cordain, Ph D, Professor Emeritus Posted on August 18, 2014Alcohol Consumption during the Paleolithic Era In all of my popular Paleo Diet books including The Paleo Diet, The Paleo Diet for Athletes, The Paleo Diet Cookbook and The Paleo Answer, I have always suggested that moderate alcohol consumption is consistent with the health goals of the Paleo Diet, despite our research 1 showing that virtually all humans living as hunter gatherers during the Paleolithic era likely did not consume alcohol (ethanol). Our foraging ancestors simply did not have the technological means to manufacture this compound and consume it on a regular basis. As our species made the transition from the Paleolithic era (2.5 million years ago to 10,000 years ago) to the Neolithic era (10,000 to 5,000 years ago), there is no doubt that the knowledge to produce fermented beverages containing low concentrations of ethanol became common place. An extensive ethnographic literature demonstrates non-westernized, indigenous people worldwide produced alcoholic beverages with only minimal technology. 2 – 5 However, the alcohol concentration in their beverages was and is typically low. Distilled spirits did not exist. 4 Accordingly, the risk of alcohol abuse and diseases of alcoholism was likely low to non-existent. Natural fermentation can spontaneously occur in fruit juices, fruit mashes or fruit purees when airborne or other environmental yeasts contaminate the fruit products and subsequently metabolize the sugars in the fruit into alcohol. If the fermentation process (spoilage) is allowed to continue, the waste products of yeast metabolism of fruit sugars produce carbon dioxide and ethanol, which of course is the element (ethanol) desired in alcoholic beverages. Fruits high in sugar allow the yeast to produce beverages with higher alcoholic (ethanol) concentrations, but eventually increasing ethanol concentrations kill the very yeasts that produce it."

"text": "About Food preservatives are substances ‘that are added to food items in order to inhibit, retard or arrest the process of fermentation, acidification, and decomposition of food items’. Or, in other words, preservatives in food help keep the food safe, without spoiling, for longer. Food preservatives are classified as: ► Class I preservatives or the natural preservatives such as salt, sugar, vinegar, syrup, spices, honey and edible oil; and ► Class II preservatives or the chemical preservatives such as benzoates, sorbates, nitrites and nitrates of sodium or potassium, sulfites, glutamates, glycerides and the like. The food standards regulations require that not more than one class II preservative to be used on one particular food item. Both, natural and chemical preservatives are categorized into 3 types: ► Antimicrobials that destroy or delay the growth of bacteria, yeast and molds. E.g. nitrites and nitrates prevent botulism in meat products. Sulfur dioxide prevents further degradation in fruits, wine and beer. Benzoates and sorbates are anti-fungals used in jams, salads, cheese and pickles. ► Anti-oxidants that slow or stop the breakdown of fats and oils in food that happens in the presence of oxygen (Oxidation) leading to rancidity. Examples of anti-oxidants include BHT, BHA, TBHQ, and propyl gallate."

"text": "« Back to Articles Sources and Impact of Sulfur Compounds in Beer10/24/2013Sulfur-Struck — Sources and Impact of Sulfur Compounds in Beer Originally Published by Scott Bickham (Brewing Techniques Volume 6, Number 3)Sulfur compounds are at the root of off-flavors as diverse as skunk, rubber, and vegetables, but they can also serve as antioxidants. This column focuses on the sources and control of sulfur flavors in beer. The importance of sulfur compounds in brewing has been recognized since 1898, when hydrogen sulfide was identified as the source of the unpleasant odor released in fermentation gases (1). These compounds are usually volatile, with very low aroma and taste thresholds (detectable when present in parts per billion). In fact, trained tasters are often able to recognize sulfury flavors even when the compounds responsible are too minute to be identified by modern laboratory techniques. An additional characteristic complicating the analysis of sulfur compounds is that they readily convert into other compounds in response to changes in p H, temperature, and staling reactions (see previous installment, “Staving off Staling Compounds”) (2). Sulfury compounds have been divided into four categories with more than a dozen sub-descriptors, represented as Class 7 on the Beer Flavor Wheel (see Table I). The first category of sulfur compounds is described as sulfide, which brings to mind the aroma of a struck match. These flavors should not be confused with the sulfidic flavors in the second category, which vary from the smell of rotten eggs (hydrogen sulfide), to skunky, light-struck aromas (mercaptans), to a rubbery or shrimplike stench (autolyzed yeast). The third category consists of cooked vegetable flavors, which are primarily caused by dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and related compounds."

Hydocyclnaicoxonzated what? – The need-to-know Just so we’re all on the same page, preservatives are a type of food additive added to food to prolong shelf life and keep the products from being broken down by microorganisms (yummy). Mold, bacteria, and yeast can cause food spoilage and are found practically everywhere (including the air we breathe). And these modern additions have certainly made an impact. In fact, some researchers believe preservatives have changed eating habits and food production patterns more than any other type food additive.

Vegetable Nutrition Foods With Sorbitol Overview When talking about preservatives in food, it might be easier to ask which foods don’t contain preservatives than which foods do. Unless you slaughter your own meat, raise your own chickens and grow your own fruits and vegetables, nearly everything you eat contains some type of preservative. The three main types of preservatives include antimicrobials, which slow bacterial growth; antioxidants, which slow oxidation in fats that causes food to become rancid; and substances that slow the natural ripening process that occurs after picking a fruit or vegetable. Canned and Boxed Foods Nearly every food that comes in a can, box or pouch contains some type of preservative. Since many processed foods sit on store shelves or in kitchen cabinets for months, adding preservatives keeps them from spoiling; spoiled, inedible food wastes money. One reason processed foods contain such high amount of sodium is because salt acts as a preservative. Antioxidants butylated hydroxytoluene, or BHT, and butylated hydroxyanisole, or BHA, keep oil from going rancid. Both are found in cereals, potato chips, oils and chewing gum and both have increased cancer risk in small animal studies. Propyl gallate, another antioxidant, is often used with BHA and BHT."

Papaya pomace is basically what's left after the juice has been extracted from the papaya fruit. I've seen studies on dried forms of these papaya \"\"leftovers,\"\" but I assume they bear little resemblance to the dried whole fruit that we would purchase in a natural foods grocery. Enzymes, including the papain enzyme found in papaya, are heat sensitive and become denatured upon exposure to too much heat. Therefore, the heat involved with the commercial drying of papaya will deactivate its enzymes. While enzymes from fresh, raw foods can sometimes be viable and aid digestive activity in our intestinal tract, deactivated enzymes cannot. If you decide to buy dried papaya, it's important to remember that, like other dried fruits, it may be treated with sulfites. To avoid these sulfites, either look for dried papaya that notes that it contains no sulfites or buy organic dried papaya since sulfites are not added to organic food products. ( Whether dried or fresh, I would always recommend purchasing organic papaya in order to avoid potential pesticide residues found on non-organic papaya and to take advantage of the greater nutrient benefits associated with organically-grown foods. ) It's important to remember, though, that papain is most concentrated in green unripe papaya and not ripe papaya, from which dried papaya is made."

Lots of confusing and contradictory information out there so here's a few things I've noted. 1. The US FDA estimates that only 1% of the population are actually allergic to sulfites. Curiously most people who believe they get a headache from wine due to sulfites can happily consume other foods/drinks with far higher sulfite levels. 2. Organic wines are not guaranteed to have lower sulfite levels than non-organic. Since it occurs naturally as a result of fermentation it is quite conceivable that an organic wine could have a natural higher level. In some cases producers still add sulfites to wines using organically grown grapes so you still need to check the label. For example Villa Theresa of Italy adds sulfites."

Aug. 14, 2017Sulfites are used in the food industry to prevent oxidation and spoilage of food, preserve flavor, control bacterial growth and bleach food starches. Sulfites are metabolized by the enzyme sulfite oxidase. However, according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology some people are enzyme deficient, which can lead to a sulfite intolerance or allergy. A sulfite allergy can cause asthma, hives, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, seizure, anaphylactic shock, dizziness and skin disorders. You can manage a sulfite allergy by avoiding sulfites, sulfur dioxide, sodium sulfite, sodium bisulfate, potassium bisulfate, sulfating agents and sulfurous acid, all of which indicate the presence of sulfites.

Cut off tops of peppers (retain tops) and remove seeds and membrane. Place tomatoes and peppers in a pan large enough to hold them comfortably and give each veg a tiny dash of sugar with the tips of your fingertips (I really think this is important!). Take tomato flesh and process it until pureed. Add olive oil, rice, onion, garlic, mint, parsley, nuts, cheese, sultanas, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper (or season to taste). Stuff the vegetables evenly with this mixture. Replace tops of tomatoes and peppers. Combine 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup olive oil with a scant tablespoonful of tomato paste and a little salt and pepper and pour this around the veg."

"text": "Keeping Pheasants Share Tweet +1 Pin it Pheasants can make wonderful pets. Many people are used to see wild pheasants, or associate them with game shooting, so they don’t consider them as potential pets. With their beautiful plumage, they are a great addition to any aviary and can live with other birds such as chickens and ducks. Most are as easy to keep as poultry. What do you need to consider before you buy your first pheasant? The most important consideration is “do you have the room”. Whether you plan to keep them in an aviary or outdoors, they will need room to roam and shelter from the elements. If you live in the countryside, you must also look at what predators are in the vicinity, and if you have any vermin problems. Rats love grain and eggs, so you will need to protect your birds. Traps in small tubes can help clear nests, as well as getting a few outdoor cats."

By Pippa Stephens Health reporter, BBC News1 April 2014Share Science Photo Library Experts say eating a range of fruit and veg is best, as part of a balanced diet, to protect against illness Research suggests eating at least seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day is more effective at preventing disease than the government's current five-a-day recommendation. Is five a day enough? The government says yes - but people should eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. The advice is based on World Health Organization guidelines, which are 25 years old. Emma Kim/CULTURA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARYDietitians say eating five a day is enough to get the protective benefits of fruit and veg - although eating more may be additionally beneficial. What counts as a portion? DANIEL SAMBRAUS/SPLFor an adult, a minimum of 400g of fruit and veg should be eaten every day, or five portions of 80g. The amount varies for children, based on activity levels and age, but a rough guide is that one portion should fit in the palm of their hand. Fruit and vegetables do not have to be eaten on their own and can be cooked in dishes such as soups, stews or pasta meals."

A rich source of iron, antioxidants, and fiber, currants will give your diet a super nutritional boost. Currants vs. Raisins Currants and raisins, along with close relative sultanas, are all naturally sweet dried fruits made from different varieties of raisins.

Grain foods, which include cereals, are dietary staples for many cultures around the world and Australia is no exception. Cereals provide the average Australian with around one fifth of their daily nutrient requirements. Current research around the world is discovering the many and varied health benefits that wholegrain cereal foods can offer, particularly in reducing the risk of diseases such as coronary heart disease, cancer and diabetes Much of the attention for phytochemicals has focused on fruit (especially grapes and apples), vegetables (especially onions, broccoli, tomatoes) and legumes (especially soy). Grains include wheat, barley, oat, rye, corn, rice, triticale. Wholegrains include wholemeal or wholegrain breads or crispbreads, dark 'seedy' breads, wholegrain breakfast cereals, wheat germ, brown rice, puffed whole grains, bulgar, couscous, pop corn and oatmeal. Refined cereals include sweet rolls, cake, desserts, white bread, pasta, muffins, sweet or savoury biscuits, refined grain breakfast cereals, white rice, pancakes, waffles and pizza. The US Food & Drug Administration permits food manufacturers to make a health claim on whole grain food products, as possibly reducing the risk of coronary heart disease and some cancers as long as the product contains 51% or more wholegrain ingredients by weight per reference amount, with dietary fibre 2.3g per 50g or 1.7g per 35g and the food must be low in fat. Nutritional content of whole grain cereals The kernels of grains (such as wheat, barley, oat, rye, corn, rice, triticale) consist of 3 major parts: Bran- this is the outer layer of the grain (14-16% of wheat, 5-6% of corn) Endosperm - this is the main part of the grain Germ - this is the smallest part of the grain. Wholegrains contain all three layers of the grain."

"text": "Forget that it’s trendy — coconut is one of most unique foods on the planet and one of the best for you too! It has a unique fatty acid and amino acid structure unlike no other food; it’s filled with electrolytes, B vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, and to beat all, there are multiple ways you can use all parts of the coconut. From the meat (pulp) to the oil to the milk and drying the meat of the coconut to make shreds or whip it into coconut butter, most no other food comes with so much versatility in raw form. Plus, coconut makes for a great dairy replacement if you’re looking to go dairy-free, are allergic, or just trying to add more plant-based foods into your diet. Coconut milk is one of the most unique forms of coconut because it’s easy to make dairy-free whipped cream, use in place of typical coffee creamer, can be used anywhere dairy milk is called for, is easy to digest, full of good fats, and also easy to find in organic forms. You can even make it yourself in just a few minutes! If you buy store-bought coconut milk, look for organic and non-genetically modified sources to be sure you’re choosing the best. Then, opt for culinary style coconut milks (either in BPA-free cans or in Tetra-pak containers) versus highly processed coconut milks that have lots of additives and sugar. Not only is this better for you, but pure coconut milk also works better in recipes since it’s thicker and adds more viscosity wherever it’s added. Pure coconut milk is an excellent thick milk all on its own."

They are not scorpions either, as their respective nicknames would lead you to believe. They are sollifugae and are a common domestic insect that shares some genetic and physical characteristics as spiders and scorpions. A sun spider can range in size from one to three inches and share a similar physical appearance to a scorpion but with a thick fur that covers their body like a spider. A sun spider make for great pest control and are generally harmless to humans. A sun spider is not venomous, but they do have a very strong jaw and can cause a nasty bite if provoked. These jaws help them feed on an assortment of insects and plants. Those who live in deserts or dry, hot terrains are most likely to come into contact with this creature. They may come into the home seeking darkness, as the sun spider heavily dislikes sunlight. Their sun spider name is a poor translation from the Latin sollifugae which means “to detest light”."

You MUST see a doctor if you are concerned about a bite you receive. Many other animals also produce symptoms similar to some spider's bites. Some of these are - kissing bugs, fleas, bed bugs, flies, mites, wasps, ants and blister beetles all of which have produced lesions similar to a brown recluse spider bite. Many skin disorders and medical conditions can produce lesions that can also mimic a brown recluse spider bite. Some of these include infected herpes outbreaks, bedsores, diabetic ulcers, poison oak and Lyme disease which can be caused by a tick bite. Again, use common sense: If there is a wound that is not healing as expected or getting worse, see your doctor! ! If a spider is not listed here, like the orb weaving family of spiders, it is because their bite is not significant being no worse than a bee or wasp sting. However, any person can be allergic to spider bites so a doctor should be consulted if any symptoms of an allergic reaction are present."

The capillaries just under the skin are very delicate and can dilate or break. Once they are broken, they will not return to their normal condition. There may be preventable causes for broken capillaries, such as vigorous scrubbing of the skin, washing with too-hot water and excessive sun exposure. Some of the causes of broken capillaries may not be preventable. These include: Hormones During pregnancy, menopause and puberty, there are hormonal changes in the body that may provoke broken capillaries. This may be because of changes in progesterone and estrogen levels. Genetics Some people have a family gene that makes them more vulnerable to broken capillaries, spider veins and varicose veins. If one or both of your parents have broken capillaries, there is a good chance you will, too."

"text": "Myths, Bites, and Habitats,By Anders Nielsen, Ph.d. The camel spider belongs to the order Solifugae of the class Arachnida. It is related to both spiders and scorpions but is neither. The Greeks were the first to recognize camel spiders as an individual group of animals and gave them the name phalangium because they appear to have five legs. [ 1] . Camel Spiders vs. Scorpions and Insects Camel spiders are related to the other arthropods, but several hundred million years ago a divergence occurred between the two lines. They really are different; for example, the breathing system of camel spiders is similar to that observed in insects. [ 2] . This breathing system is with trachea, which allows for a relatively fast oxygen uptake when necessary, and hence the ability to move fast. They are not dangerous, but because of their appearance and the many myths circulating about them, primarily made up by soldiers deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, camel spider have a reputation as brutal and merciless desert animals."

"text": "10 Most Poisonous Spiders in the World July 19, 2011 By paul 23 Comments Poisonous spiders have a bad reputation and it is justly so. Some of these little terrorists may kill humans or cause them severe symptoms, varying from swelling of the area, to coma. However, most of us are fascinated by these interesting creatures, especially the big, exotic types which look so alien but so beautiful in the same time! If you care to know more of their lethal potential, here is some information concerning the most venomous spiders in the world:1. Brazilian Wandering Spider This spider may be found (though I can’t imagine why someone would want to look for it!) in the tropical forests of South and Central America. The Brasilian wandering spider is not only the world’s most venomous spider -as ranked by Guinness World Records in 2010- but it is an aggressive one too. These combined features of toxicity and aggressivity allow us to name this spider the most dangerous in the world. Its venom is so deathly that sometimes even the antivenin won’t work and the most chances are that the victim will die.2. Sydney Funnel Web The Sydney Funnel Web is not only one of the most poisonous spiders in the world, but one of the most dangerous as well."

"text": "Dalvenjah Fox Fire /Flickr/CC by-SA 2.0Knowing how to attract nesting hummingbirds can help you entice these flying jewels to raise their delicate families in your yard. This can give you an unparalleled opportunity to witness the birds’ amazing growth and the nurturing a hummingbird mother offers her chicks. To make your yard attractive to nesting hummingbirds, however, it is important to understand what the birds need to nest and how to make your yard a safe place for baby hummingbirds. Hummingbird Nesting Habits Hummingbirds are not cavity-nesters and will not use birdhouses, no matter what the dimensions, shape, or color of the house. Instead, hummingbird nests are built out of a variety of materials including moss, lichen, plant down, feathers, and spider silk. Depending on the hummingbird species and the general climate, a nest may be used for just one brood or for several broods in the same season, but nests are not frequently reused from year to year. If your yard is safe and attractive, however, you can easily encourage hummingbirds to nest nearby for many years. Making Your Yard Attractive The first step toward attracting nesting hummingbirds is to be sure your yard is hummingbird-friendly. To do so, your yard should include: Food: Nectar-producing flowers and hummingbird feeders are great options, but also avoid spraying for spiders or other insects. Spider silk is a critical material for building hummingbird nests, and insects provide necessary protein for the mother bird to feed her growing chicks."

Those that do should stop reading here. While most of the spiders that we come into contact with on a routine basis are small, there are many that are huge. And while you may not suffer from arachnophobia, chances are running into one of them is not something you have any desire to do. Let’s look at ten of the largest spiders in the world — including the largest by weight and the largest by legspan — so you know what you’re facing if you ever stumble across one in a rainforest or desert in the near future.10 Cerbalus Aravaensis Cerbalus Aravaensis, a type of huntsman and the largest spider in the Middle East Leg Span: 5.5 inches Discovered in late 2009 wandering around in the ridiculously hot Sands of Samar dunes in Israel’s Arava region, this is the largest spider in the Middle East. Due to the dunes’ close proximity to Jordan, they can also be found there too. However, the Sands of Samar are rapidly disappearing due to the area’s extensive development, so it remains to be seen how the species will fare over time. Due to the barren habitat, the Cerbalus Aravaensis — a type of huntsman spider (see entry number two below) — primarily eat small lizards, beetles, gerbils, and beetles. There has been some disagreement as to whether or not they are venomous, but most scientists believe they are not. That being said, it’s unlikely anyone will be volunteering to see if they are any time soon.9 Brazilian Wandering Spider The Brazilian Wandering Spider."

"text": "\"\"\"So You Found A Tarantula! \"\" Brent Hendrixson Millsaps College Native USA Tarantulas There are over 50 species of tarantulas native to the southwestern and central portions of the United States, including several undescribed species (unknown to science). They can be found in all or parts of (going in a circle): California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Utah, and Nevada. Their eastern border is the Mississippi River and further to the north, the Missouri River. There is an introduced population of Brachypelma vagans in central Florida, but this species is indigenous to southern Mexico and Belize. People living in these areas often encounter wandering tarantulas at different times of the year. Depending on the species, many have a more or less set mating season which may occur in the spring (e.g., much of central and South Texas), summer (e.g., portions of southern New Mexico and Arizona), or fall (e.g., the high plains of the Texas Panhandle and southeastern Colorado). In desert areas, the mating season is not as clear, and it may depend entirely on rainfall; large numbers of Aphonopelma chalcodes from Arizona are often found wandering immediately after the heavy deluges produced by the summer monsoons. In some years, the entire crop of males may be lost if the rains are absent. The tarantulas observed are usually mature males wandering about in search of the burrows of mature females."

( Photo by Salima Ikram, North Kharga Oasis Survey, cropped by Owen Jarus. ) Archaeologists have discovered a panel containing the only known example of spider rock art in Egypt and, it appears, the entire Old World. The rock panel, now in two pieces, was found on the west wall of a shallow sandstone wadi, or valley, in the Kharga Oasis, located in Egypt's western desert about 108 miles (175 kilometers) west of Luxor. Facing east, and illuminated by the morning sun, the panel is a \"\"very unusual\"\" find, said Egyptologist Salima Ikram, a professor at the American University in Cairo who co-directs the North Kharga Oasis Survey Project. The identification of the creatures as spiders is tentative and the date of it uncertain, Ikram told Live Science in an email. Even so, based on other activity in the area, the rock art may date to about 4000 B. C. or earlier, which would put it well into prehistoric times, before Egypt was unified, noted Ikram, who detailed the finding in the most recent edition of the journal Sahara. [ See Photos of the Newfound Spider Rock Ar t]The main panel shows what appear to be a few spiders, with a \"\"star\"\" that's possibly meant to depict a web next to the spider on the far left. There are also comblike drawings that are more enigmatic; Ikram said they could be insects being trapped by the spiders, plants or even silken tubes spun by the spiders. A piece of rock that appears to have been broken off the main panel depicts creatures drawn in a different style, their limbs not flexed, but ratherhave a flat appearance."

From the Web MD Archives As a curious child, you might remember staring at an older relative's thick stockings at the blue, gnarled veins lying under the skin like bumpy snakes. Known as varicose veins, these blood vessels, which return blood from the legs to the heart, are actually a more superficial system. The real, working venous system for the legs lies deeper, says to Robert A. Weiss, MD, assistant professor of dermatology at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore. This is good news, because it means that if the surface veins begin to clump up and bulge, they can be removed or destroyed without ruining circulation to the leg. The National Institutes of Health estimates that 60% of all men and women suffer from some form of vein disorder. A quarter of varicose vein sufferers are men, although Weiss notes that it is almost always women who seek help for spider veins. Spider veins, the more delicate red or blue tracings that can pop up on the skin's surface like kinky spider webs, are a minor form of varicose veins and can precede development of the more unsightly variation or cause cosmetic concerns of their own. Sun exposure can make spider veins worse by breaking down collagen under the skin. Continue Reading Belowyou might like Both varicose and spider veins result when valves designed to keep blood from running backward away from the heart and back down into the leg fail or become loose and flabby -- allowing backwash, which stretches veins and even slowly leaks into ankle and leg tissue, causing swelling."

More than 3500 species of spiders live in the United States but there are only a few spider species that are considered dangerous. Spiders are not commonly aggressive, but if they feel threatened, they certainly will bite. All spiders are venomous but they usually can not harm a human being because they do not have enough venom to do so. That being said, we have to mention the fact that some spider species in the US can produce a harmful, sometimes potentially life threatening bite. Here are some of those spiders: Brown Recluse Spider: The brown recluse is mostly tan to medium brown in color. It is a specific species because it only has six eyes, unlike the usual eight eyes in other spiders. This spider is a highly venomous one and its bite can leave serious damage to the skin. Its bite may cause a tissue destroying symptom and severe necrosis. This spider can be found worldwide and all the way from the west to the east coast in the US."

It has a rough, hairy stem, broad, coarsely toothed, rough leaves and circular heads of flowers. The heads consist of many individual flowers which mature into seeds, often in the hundreds, on a receptacle base. From the Americas, sunflower seeds were brought to Europe in the 16th century, where, along with sunflower oil, they became a widespread cooking ingredient. Leaves of the sunflower can be used as cattle feed, while the stems contain a fiber which may be used in paper production. Long before the coming of the white man and the exploitation of Sunflower-oil, the American Indians were using the seeds of the larger species of Sunflowers as important sources of food. Slightly parched and ground into flour, they serve in making bread, cakes and rich soups; or the oil, separated by boiling the crushed seeds and skimming the oil from the surface of the water, was used by the Indians, as it is now by the Americans, as table-oil. Several explorers state that the roasted shells, after the starch has been removed by roasting, crushing and sifting, or the roasted seeds were used in preparing a drink “tasting just like coffee”."

"text": "| Share Estimating Sunflower Yield (8/16/12)The sunflower yield for oil sunflower can be calculated by the number of plants per acre, the head diameter, the seed size, the number of filled seeds per head, and observing how much of the center of the head is filled. The yield is calculated by multiplying 2,450 by the “multipliers” from the charts below. First estimate the plant population from a number of locations within a field, away from the head lands. The value of the multiplier can be calculated for plant population numbers in between listed values in Table 1. The next measurement is the sunflower head diameter. Measure a number of heads in the field, and take the average. Plants with more space tend to have larger heads so it is important to take a representative field sample. The next multiplier is related to the seed size. Remove several seeds approximately one to two inches from the edge of the head and compare to the seed outlines in Table 3. To obtain a percentage of good seed, cut a slice out of the sunflower head, hand remove the seeds, and estimate the percent filled seeds."

How to harvest and roast the sunflower seeds from your sunflowers. Photography Credit: Elise Bauer Looking out my living room window one afternoon I saw the strangest sight, a squirrel, about 8 feet off the ground, upside down, with his tail sticking straight up in the air. Quietly walking closer to investigate, I found that the squirrel had climbed up one of my tall sunflower plants, the top of which was bending over due to the weight of the squirrel, who, clutching the plant stalk with his hind legs, now greedily was digging into the sunflower flower to eat the ripening seeds. Oh, where is the camera when you need it? By the time I had retrieved mine, the squirrel was already heading down the plant. But that did get me thinking, why leave all the sunflower seeds to the squirrels? The sunflower variety the squirrel was enjoying produces small seeds, too small for me to bother with. But I had other sunflowers, the mammoth variety, which produces big seeds, the kind that can easily be roasted. By the time I got around to it, the squirrels and birds had already eaten all the seeds from every flower except one."

These benefits include reducing the risks of certain cancers, bone health, and other general health as they are packed full of nutrition. Sunflower Seeds Health Benefits Vitamin E: Sunflower seeds are an excellent source of vitamin E, which is the body’s primary fat-soluble antioxidant. Vitamin E neutralizes free radicals throughout the body that would otherwise harm fat-containing structures and molecules. The damage these free radicals do to the fat-containing causes significant inflammation, which is a common symptom of asthma, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. So essnetially, sunflower seeds offer a great anti-inflammatory effect that can reduce the risks and/or symptoms of the diseases mentioned above. Vitamin E also plays a large role in the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

Dissolvable sutures are made of materials which are broken down in tissue after a given period of time, which depending on the material can be from ten days to eight weeks. They are used therefore in many of the internal tissues of the body. In most cases, three weeks is sufficient for the wound to close firmly. The suture is not needed any more, and the fact that it disappears is an advantage, as there is no foreign material left inside the body and no need for the patient to have the sutures removed.

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

In fact there were many cultures including Egyptians, Greeks and Romans that routinely used stitches or sutures in their medical treatment of wounds and surgical procedures. The first types of needles were primitive and were made of fine shards of bone or metals. This meant that the suture material tended to be coarser and heavier and was most likely originally made from plant materials. The first people to actually use surgical sutures are believed to the ancient Egyptians. The culture routinely used suturing in the preparation of mummies for burial and it was also used in medical practices of the time on living patients. Hippocrates used sutures, which were plant based, and would have been considered very crude by today's standards. It is very likely that individuals that received these types of sutures had considerable scaring and infection yet they were also likely to have been very effective in closing wounds in a more permanent way than binding the wounds with the material available at that time. The specific transition of surgical sutures from plant based fibrous materials to animal products is not clearly known. It is reported that in the second century AD Galen of Pergamon, a Roman doctor that was very interested in human anatomy, is considered the first person to use catgut suture."

September 6, 2015 by woundcaresociety Leave a Comment Wisdom teeth removal might be the most well-known mouth surgery around the world. More than 80 percent of adults round the world have their wisdom teeth extracted to avoid complications. Despite how scary and uneasy this procedure might seem, wisdom teeth extraction is classified as a minor oral surgery, which usually lasts only for 45 minutes. After have the tooth removed from its bed, the patient will get their tooth bed stitched with either dissolvable or non-dissolvable stitches to close it and avoid foods excess from accumulating in it. What is dissolvable stitches? Stitches is common with oral surgeries. Tooth extraction definitely needs sutures to close the opened tooth socket after the extraction surgery performed. Dissolvable stitches may be used on deep surgical or surface wounds. Dissolvable stitches are commonly made from polyglactin or polyglycoid, which is likely to loosen up within four weeks and dissolve after four months post-surgery."

It's what I use, and it's what I've always seen used. It typically takes at minimum one week for the suture to dissolve, i.e. be resorbed by the body. If the suture knot was tied improperly or if the suture was placed in the floor of your mouth where it would be submerged in saliva, you'll likely find that suture has come undone and is now missing (you've swallowed it). One week is just a minimum. Sometimes I see the suture there for two weeks even, but rarely. There are other materials used in the mouth, however."

Fogoros, MDUpdated March 06, 2018Share Pin Email Print David Seed Photography / Getty Images You are probably familiar with standard sutures, also known as stitches. The most common of sutures are the type you may have received when you had a deep cut on your finger or a similar injury. Suture material, a sterile type of thread, is used to literally sew a wound closed. Those stitches stay in place for a week or two while the wound heals. Then, a nurse or a doctor removes them once the wound has closed. The sutures have to be removed to prevent them from growing into the new and healthy skin that has formed. Absorbable sutures, or absorbable stitches, do not need to be removed. They are made of special materials that can remain in the body for an extended period of time. Over weeks or months, your body dissolves the sutures, well after your incision has closed. Absorbable sutures are often used internally to close the deepest parts of an incision, but they are also used on the surface of the skin."

"text": "\"Nearly everyone has four separate wisdom teeth. There are two in the top part of the mouth and two located in the lower part of the mouth. Many times, these teeth don't come out but become impacted. When this happens, the tooth only grows within the gums or only comes out part of the way. If this happens, the wisdom teeth need to be removed through surgery. After surgery, wisdom teeth stitches are often placed to seal up the hole where the tooth was once located. Uses of Wisdom Teeth Stitches The dentist may decide to put stitches in your mouth after the wisdom tooth has been excised. The main reason for this is to close off the hole where the tooth came out of. They help lessen the distance between the cut parts of the soft tissue, so the wound can become stronger. When stitches are put into the place where the wisdom teeth were removed, they put compression on the soft tissue so that bleeding after surgery is lessened."

Applicable codes should be used based on the definitions below. Wound repairs Wound repairs may be classified as simple, intermediate, or complex and should be coded using the following guidelines: Simple A simple wound repair code should be used when the wound is superficial (e.g., involving primarily epidermis, dermis, or subcutaneous tissues without significant involvement of deeper structures) and requires a simple one-layer closure/suture. CPT codes for simple wound repair include local anesthesia and chemical or electrocauterization of wounds not closed. The repair of a superficial wound that does not require sutures but may be closed with adhesive strips is included in the fee for the evaluation and management (E/M) visit and should not be billed separately. Intermediate An intermediate wound repair code includes the repair of a wound that, in addition to the above, requires a layered closure of one or more of the deeper layers of subcutaneous tissue and superficial (non-muscle) fascia in addition to the skin (epidermal and dermal) closure. The single-layer closure of a heavily contaminated wound that requires extensive cleaning or removal of particulate matter also may also be considered an intermediate repair. Complex A complex wound repair code includes the repair of a wound requiring more than a layered closure (e.g., scar revision or debridement), extensive undermining, stents, or retention sutures. It may also include debridement and repair of complicated lacerations or avulsions. For wound repair to be eligible for payment at the complex level, an operative report must be submitted with the claim."

In a review of the literature, Schuster [ 1] found that falls, straddle injuries, and a variety of other miscellaneous causes were the least common sources of testicular fractures. More than half were caused by sporting injuries and kicks to the groin. Motor vehicle and motorcycle accidents were implicated in 9% to 17% of cases. Patients ranged in age from 8 to 71 years (average, 25.1 years), with the majority of trauma incidents occurring in those between 16 and 20 years. Fractures were transverse (58%), longitudinal (21%), multiple (8%), and stellate (8%), when reported. An internal hematoma and avulsion of a pole each occurred 6.5% of the time. In another review, Brown and Dinchman [ 2] found no specific symptoms or signs that separated testicular rupture from other acute scrotal emergencies and stressed the importance of clinical correlation. Although most patients had acute severe pain often associated with nausea and vomiting, physical findings were nonspecific, including exquisite tenderness with a variable amount of scrotal swelling, hematoma, and ecchymosis."

The diagnosis requires a high degree of suspicion and confirmation by percutaneous biopsy. The treatment consists of resection of the periosteum and affected bone. Despite reports of successful conservative treatment using antibiotics alone, early surgical intervention plus bacterial control is the definitive treatment; it reduces morbidity, and is the most cost-effective approach for the patient. We report a case of primary osteomyelitis surgically treated with debridement and antibiotics, followed by hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Case presentation: A 39-year-old Brazilian man without a significant medical history presented with primary osteomyelitis. After a normal chest radiograph and normal laboratory test results, he was treated with 2 weeks of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. One month later a presumptive diagnosis of Tietze syndrome was made and he was prescribed prednisolone (60mg/day) for 3 weeks. The following month he presented to our service with swelling, redness, and warmth in the area between his left third and fourth ribs."

If your dog's incision requires special care, your veterinarian will discuss the details of this care with you. Are there different methods of closing a surgical incision? Yes. If a surgical incision extends through several layers of tissue, each layer will be closed separately. Therefore, there may be multiple rows of sutures in a single incision site. The surface or skin layer of your dog's surgical incision may have been closed with surgical glue or with one of several different types of sutures and suture patterns. The suture pattern that is used to close the skin depends on the length of the incision and how much tension is present across the incision, or on the preference of the veterinary surgeon. As long as there is minimal tension on the surgical incision, your dog's veterinarian will use regular suture material and a standard suture pattern. In these cases, the stitches may be placed on the skin surface using a non-absorbable suture material, or they may be buried beneath the skin surface using absorbable suture material."

With some conditions, it is possible to resolve the pain with rest, modifying one’s behavior, and a physical therapy and/or anti-inflammatory regimen. Such conservative treatments have been successful in reducing pain and swelling. How to Manage Hip Pain If you find yourself with hip pain, it's important to consult a physician. An examination will help to determine what's causing the soreness, since hip pain can actually come from locations other than the hip, such as the spine, pelvis or leg. While waiting to see a physician, there are some modifications and exercises that may provide some relief. View the modifications and exercises. Anti-Inflammatories Anti-inflammatories, commonly known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (usually abbreviated as NSAIDs or NAIDs) are used primarily to treat mild to moderate pain associated with inflammation. This inflammation may be the result of muscular tears, bursitis, tendonitis, arthritis, labral tears, or synovitis."

Sections Overview Workup Treatment Media Gallery References Medical Therapy The latest research on wound care has resulted in increased use of interactive and active dressings rather than passive dressings that cover and absorb. Interactive hydrocolloid dressings provide a controlled microenvironment for wound healing. Active dressings deliver substances such as growth factors, which are important in the healing cascade. Interactive dressings are typically occlusive dressings. They provide important moisture and supply a favorable microenvironment for the growth of new tissue. The advantages of moist occlusive dressings are numerous. Exudate is controlled, while epithelial cell migration is encouraged. Eschar is liquefied and fibrin is lysed to allow convenient debridement. Infection is managed through wound fluid rich in leukocytes. These dressings are also believed to provide symptomatic relief, such as decreased pain and pruritus."

SURGICAL FINDINGS: A 6 cm long by about 4 cm deep wound dehiscence PROCEDURE PERFORMED: Debridement of ischial wound by curettage with secondaey wound closure. PROCEDURE: The patient was intubated and turned in the prone postion. The area was prepped with Betadine scrub and solution and draped in routine sterile fashion. The area was curettaged down to bleeding granulation tissue. I was reluctant to restart by complete debridement of all these areas, because there are factors operativw in this wound that are probably beyond our control. We nevertheless completed debridement of the granulation down to bleeding tissue and put far/near, near/far tension sutures in the wound using #2 Ethibond. I then put some Xeroform underneath the sutures that were holding the wound together and put three boxes of Kerlix Fluffs on top of this to cover some of the open areas on the thigh."

Key Points Controlled levels of negative pressure accelerate debridement and promote healing. From animal studies a negative pressure value of 125 mm Hg appears to be optimum when applied in a cyclical fashion. Technique can be used in the treatment of many types of soft tissue injuries including degloving injuries, donor sites, infected sternotomy wounds and various soft tissue injuries prior to surgical closure, grafting or reconstructive surgery. Although the cost of VAC treatment is not insignificant, there is some evidence to suggest that it compares favourably with other more conventional therapies. Abstract The application of controlled levels of negative pressure has been shown to accelerate debridement and promote healing in many different types of wounds. The optimum level of negative pressure appears to be around 125 mm Hg below ambient and there is evidence that this is most effective if applied in a cyclical fashion of five minutes on and two minutes off. It is believed that the negative pressure assists with removal of interstitial fluid, decreasing localised oedema and increasing blood flow. This in turn decreases tissue bacterial levels. Additionally, mechanical deformation of cells is thought to result in protein and matrix molecule synthesis, which increases the rate of cell proliferation."

"text": "Peroneus Brevis PERONEAL TENDONS By: Robert H. Sheinberg, D. P. M., D. A. B. P. S., F. A. C. F. A. S. The peroneal tendons are two strong tendons that connect the muscles on the outside of the leg to the bones in the foot. They run behind the bone in the ankle called the fibula. When they contract they move the foot down and out. They play an important role in stabilizing the foot on uneven surfaces. When the foot turns excessively in (i.e. attempt at ankle sprain) these tendons contract and stabilize the ankle so that it does not twist too far in. Tendons are covered by a ligament called the peroneal retinaculum. It is a strong ligament that connects the outer leg bone (fibula) to the heel (calcaneus). The ligament covers the peroneal tendons and helps keep them in a groove behind the fibula. Under normal circumstances it helps to allow the tendons to contract with extremely high forces without dislocating. Without this ligament restraint, the muscle tendon unit cannot generate enough force during activity."

"text": "By Terri Brame, MBA, CHC, CPC, CPC-H, CGSC, CPC-ISurgical wound closure can be confusing and vague, but you can sew up your wound closure knowledge by returning to the basics. CPT® foundation concepts always apply and can help you navigate wound closure and delayed closure procedures. Define Your Terms Keep the definitions of primary, delayed primary, and secondary in mind when you code for wound closures: Primary closure – Actively closing a wound immediately after completing the procedure with sutures, Steri-Strips, or another active binding mechanism. Delayed primary closure – Actively closing a wound, but at a later operative session beyond the procedure. Secondary closure – Usually means allowing the wound to close without intervention (without suture or other closure); however, when active wound closure is described as “secondary,” the term is used in place of delayed primary closure. Primary Closure – What’s Included? The wound closure portion of a global surgical package involves smaller procedures. Any typical procedure required to close the surgical wound is bundled with the primary procedure. Some repair level—simple, intermediate, or complex—always is included as part of the wound closure. For laparotomies and sternal thoracotomies, the code assumes the surgeon will close this major incision, and with rather complex closure."

"text": "Find three important details in the report, and you’ve got the case all sewn up.by G. J. Verhovshek, MA, CPCWhen coding for wound repair (closure), you must search the clinical documentation to determine three things: The complexity of the repair (simple, intermediate, or complex)The anatomic location of the wounds closed The length, in centimeters, of the wound closed Each of these variables is specified in the repair CPT® code descriptors. For example:12013 Simple repair of superficial wounds [complexity] of face, ears, eyelids, nose, lips and/or mucous membranes [location]; 2.6 cm to 5.0 cm [length]12035 Repair, intermediate [complexity], wounds of scalp, axillae, trunk and/or extremities (excluding hands and feet) [location]; 12.6 cm to 20.0 cm [length]13150 Repair, complex [complexity], eyelids, nose, ears and/or lips [location]; 1.0 cm or less [length]Complexity Comes First First, determine the complexity of the performed repair (s). Your CPT® codebook is the definitive source, providing full definitions for each type of repair:“ Simple repair is used when the wound is superficial; eg, involving primarily epidermis or dermis, or subcutaneous tissues without significant involvement of deeper structures, and requires simple one layer closure. ”Simple repairs are—as the name indicates—fairly straightforward, and require only single-layer closure of the affected area. Such repairs involve only the skin; deeper layers of tissue are unaffected. By contrast:“ Intermediate repair … require [s] one layered closure of one or more of the deeper layers of subcutaneous tissue and superficial (non-muscle) fascia in addition to the skin (epidermal and dermal) closure. ”In other words, wounds requiring intermediate repairs are deeper than those requiring simple repair. Per CPT®, some single-layer closures may qualify as complex repairs, if the wound is “heavily contaminated” and requires “extensive cleaning or removal of particulate matter. ”When searching documentation for clues as to the complexity of repair, statements such as “layered closure,” “involving subcutaneous tissue,” and/or “removal of debris,” “extensive cleansing,” etc., point to an intermediate repair."

Advances in endoscopic surgery of the hip have created opportunities to better evaluate and treat pathology in the peritrochanteric compartment. We reviewed the literature on trochanteric pain syndrome and gluteus medius tendon injuries. Existing techniques for endoscopic and open gluteus tendon repair and potential challenges in restoration of abductor function were analyzed. Partial-thickness undersurface tears of the gluteus medius were identified as a common pathologic entity. Although these tears are otherwise analogous to partial-thickness tears of the rotator cuff, the lack of arthroscopic access to the deep side of the gluteus medius tendon represents a unique technical challenge. To address the difficulty in visualizing and thus repairing undersurface tears of the gluteus medius, a novel endoscopic trans-tendinous repair technique was developed. The purposes of this article are to review the anatomy, pathology, and existing repair techniques of gluteus medius tendon tears and to describe the rationale and surgical steps for endoscopic trans-tendinous repair. Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is a common complaint with an estimated incidence of 1.8 per 1,000 persons. 1 Patients usually present with a dull pain on the lateral aspect of the hip, sometimes with radiation posteriorly and into the thigh."

"text": "SQL Server 2005: using symmetric keys to encrypt data★ ★ ★ ★ ★★ ★ ★ ★★ ★ ★★ ★★Laurentiu Cristofor [MSFT] October 14, 2005 16Share 0 0In SQL Server 2005, the recommended method for encrypting data is to use symmetric keys. In this post, I'd like to comment on three topics related to using symmetric keys:1) basics of using a symmetric key 2) ways to restrict access to a symmetric key 3) how to prevent a symmetric key loss So, let's tackle each of these:1) Basics of using a symmetric key A symmetric key can be created using the CREATE SYMMETRIC KEY statement. Information about symmetric keys is stored in the sys.symmetric_keys catalog. Encryption and decryption using a symmetric key is done through the Encrypt By Key and Decrypt By Key builtins; the latter also has two additional flavors, Decrypt By Key Auto Cert and Decrypt By Key Auto Asym Key, which I'll address later in this post. Before using a symmetric key, however, the key must be opened - this is done using the OPEN SYMMETRIC KEY statement. The opening of the key is the operation through which the key is decrypted and made ready for use. A key that is opened will only be available in the current connection, and this availability will last until either the key is explicitly closed using a statement like CLOSE SYMMETRIC KEY or until the connection will end. Keys that are opened in the current session can be listed by executing:select * from sys.openkeys;Caveat: There is currently a defect (#409522) in sys.openkeys that can break the DMV if it is used in a query that searches for a specific key in the catalog. This bug will occur whenever there are multiple keys opened and the one that is specifically searched is not the last entry in the catalog. For example, the defect can be hit by executing a query like: select * from sys.openkeys where key_name = 'key_Data Encryption'; The defect behavior is that such a search can leave the catalog in a bad state, so that all subsequent queries over the catalog will return no results."

"text": "\"Changing Default Database File Locations in SQL Server 2014by Thomas La Rock | Feb 24, 2015 | MSSQL, SQL MVP, SQL Server Performance, SQLServer Pedia Wiki | 16 comments When you create a database in SQL Server and do not specify a file location for your data and log files SQL Server will rely on the default database file locations as defined in the server properties. You can see these properties for yourself by right-clicking on the instance name inside of SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and navigating to the ‘Database Settings’ tab: If we create a simple database we can verify that the files are written to these directories: CREATE DATABASE Test File Loc GO SELECT filename FROM sys. sysaltfiles WHERE name LIKE 'Test File Loc%';The second query returns the locations of our data and log files, which we see are the defaults: Changing the defaults is easy enough, we can just update the file locations inside of SSMS. I will create two new folders (C:\\SQL\\Data\\ and C:\\SQL\\Logs\\) to store the data and log files for new databases. It is important to note that updating these locations will NOT migrate the current data and log files to the new directories. These changes will only apply to new databases created from this point forward. Let’s update the settings to point to the new directories: Press OK, and we’ll run our create database script, modifying the database name, and the results now look like this: Whoa, what happened here? First, like I said earlier, updating those defaults will not migrate existing files. You can see that in the first two rows of the result set. Second, setting the default locations requires a restart of the SQL instance for the changes to take effect."

At the core of this component is a new type of RDD, Schema RDD. Schema RDDs are composed of Row objects, along with a schema that describes the data types of each column in the row. A Schema RDD is similar to a table in a traditional relational database. A Schema RDD can be created from an existing RDD, a Parquet file, a JSON dataset, or by running Hive QL against data stored in Apache Hive. All of the examples on this page use sample data included in the Spark distribution and can be run in the spark-shell. Spark SQL is currently an alpha component.

This sounds very interesting. Could you provide us with an explanation and the details to implement it? Solution TDE is a new feature in SQL Server 2008; it provides real time encryption of data and log files. Data is encrypted before it is written to disk; data is decrypted when it is read from disk. The \"\"transparent\"\" aspect of TDE is that the encryption is performed by the database engine and SQL Server clients are completely unaware of it. There is absolutely no code that needs to be written to perform the encryption and decryption. There are a couple of steps to be performed to prepare the database for TDE, then the encryption is turned on at the database level via an ALTER DATBASE command. We've probably all heard of incidents where backup tapes containing sensitive information have been lost or stolen. With TDE the backup files are also encrypted when using just the standard BACKUP command once encryption is turned on for the database."

"text": "14 SQL Server Indexing Questions You Were Too Shy To Ask One of the first things one needs to understand well about SQL Server is indexes, but somehow many of the basic questions don't often get asked or answered much on forums. Rob Sheldon answers some of these shy-making questions about SQL Server Indexes and indexing: the ones we somehow feel silly asking in public, and think twice about doing so. Why can’t a table have two clustered indexes? The short answer? A clustered index is the table. When you define a clustered index on a table, the database engine sorts all the rows in the table, in ascending or descending order, based on the columns identified in the index definition (the key columns). The clustered index is not a separate entity like it is with other index types, but rather a mechanism for sorting the table and facilitating quick data access. Suppose you have a table that contains data about the company’s sales transactions. The Sales table includes such information as the order ID, line item ID, product number, quantity, order and shipping dates, and so on. You create a clustered index based on the Order ID and Line ID columns, sorted in ascending order, as shown in the following T-SQL code:12 CREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX ix_oriderid_lineid ON dbo."

To add a node to an existing SQL Server failover cluster, you must run SQL Server Setup on the node that is to be added to the SQL Server failover cluster instance. Do not run Setup on the active node to manage the other nodes. Depending on how the nodes are clustered, the SQL Server failover cluster is configured in the following ways: Nodes on the same subnet or the same set of subnets - The IP address resource dependency is set to AND for these types of configurations. Nodes on different subnets - The IP address resource dependency is set to OR and this configuration is called a SQL Server multi-subnet failover cluster configuration. For more information, see SQL Server Multi-Subnet Clustering (SQL Server). The following options are available for SQL Server failover cluster installation: Option1: Integration Installation with Add Node SQL Server integrated failover cluster installation consists of the following steps: Create and configure a single-node SQL Server failover cluster instance. When you configure the node successfully, you have a fully functional failover cluster instance.

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

What is a foreign key in SQL Server? A foreign key is a way to enforce referential integrity within your SQL Server database. A foreign key means that values in one table must also appear in another table. The referenced table is called the parent table while the table with the foreign key is called the child table. The foreign key in the child table will generally reference a primary key in the parent table. A foreign key can be created using either a CREATE TABLE statement or an ALTER TABLE statement.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Fairy tale (disambiguation). Template: For a comparison of fairy tale with other kinds of stories, such as myths, legends and fable1865 illustration of Hop-o'-My-Thumb and the ogre A fairy tale, wonder tale, magic tale, or Märchen is folklore genre that takes the form of a short story that typically features entities such as dwarfs, dragons, elves, fairies, giants, gnomes, goblins, griffins, mermaids, talking animals, trolls, unicorns, or witches, and usually magic or enchantments. Fairy tales may be distinguished from other folk narratives such as legends (which generally involve belief in the veracity of the events that has described) [1] and explicitly moral tales, including beast fables. The term is mainly used for stories with origins in European tradition and, at least in recent centuries, mostly relates to children's literature. In less technical contexts, the term is also used to describe something blessed with unusual happiness, as in \"\"fairy tale ending\"\" (a happy ending) [2] or \"\"fairy tale romance \"\". Colloquially, a \"\"fairy tale\"\" or \"\"fairy story\"\" can also mean any far-fetched story or tall tale; it is used especially of any story that not only is not true, but could not possibly be true. Legends are perceived as real; fairy tales may merge into legends, where the narrative is perceived both by teller and hearers as being grounded in historical truth. However, unlike legends and epics, they usually do not contain more than superficial references to religion and actual places, people, and events; they take place once upon a time rather than in actual times. [ 3]Fairy tales are found in oral and in literary form; the name \"\"fairy tale\"\" was first ascribed to them by Madame d'Aulnoy in the late 17th century. Many of today's fairy tales have evolved from centuries-old stories that have appeared, with variations, in multiple cultures around the world. ["

Bestia, Vol. 5 (1993) (Note: Those who want immediately to find the definition I offer should use this bookmark link . ) In its short history, Bestia has already furthered discussion on the definition of fable, in particular through the keynote addresses of Professors Jan Ziolkowski (\"\"The Form and Spirit of Beast Fable,\"\" Bestia II [1990] 4-40) and Pack Carnes (\"\"The Fable and the Anti-Fable: The Modern Faces of Aesop,\"\" Bestia IV [1992] 5-34). This article reviews briefly what they offer on the definition of Aesopic fable, questions one point, and proposes a more specific definition. I attempt then to demonstrate the value of the definition by trying it out in some test cases. I move on finally to offer two comments on fable definitions operative in recent publications. It has of course not been easy to define Aesopic fable. The tides of time have shifted sands in peculiar fashion around the word \"\"fable.\"\" Bulfinch's The Age of Fable has nothing to do with what we most often mean by \"\"fable.\"\" A recent cartoon book called Freaky Fables is a funny account of ancient legends, including the story of the Trojan War, in which a can of cleanser labelled \"\" Ajax \"\" runs around the battlefield."

"text": ">> Columns >> Biology Bytes How the Eucalyptus Came to California A Cautionary Tale Saturday, January 15, 2011By Teisha Rowland ( Contact)Article Tools Print friendly E-mail story Tip Us Off ( 5)Share Article It seems harmless enough; how can releasing just a few plants or animals into a new area hurt anything? But again and again, we’ve seen just how devastating introducing a foreign organism can be, whether it was on purpose or inadvertent. This has led to declining populations of bats, honeybees, and amphibians, among others, and explosive population increases among garden snails in California. Even when it doesn’t look like the non-native organism is doing any harm, it’s still tilting a biological scale that had carefully balanced itself over millennia. Courtesy Photo The blue gum ( Eucalyptus globulus) has become embedded in much of California’s scenery, though how this came to be is a cautionary tale that emphasizes the importance of thinking before planting. When we think of organisms being introduced to new lands and wreaking havoc upon the natives, animals more readily come to mind than plants do. But the often over-looked plant invaders have significantly sculpted the California landscape to become what we know it to be today. Europeans started to settle in California in the late 1700s, and soon many non-native plant species made their way to California as well. By the early 1800s, there were 16 non-native plant species, but this jumped to about 134 species by 1860. The number has been increasing ever since; today, there are over 1,000 non-native plant species living in California (and nearly 5,000 native species)."

"text": "\"Arts, Music, and Recreation ›Whimsy What Exactly Are Urban Legends? Infrequently answered questions Share Flipboard Email Print Donald Bowers / Getty Imagesby David Emery Updated May 17, 2017Urban legends are popular stories alleged to be true and passed from individual to individual via oral or written (e.g. forwarded email) communication. Typically, said stories concern outlandish, humiliating, humorous, terrifying, or supernatural events — events which, in the telling, always seem to happen to someone other than the teller. In lieu of evidence, the conveyor of an urban legend relies on narrative flourishes and/or reference to putatively trustworthy sources (e.g., \"\"I heard this from a friend of a friend,\"\" or \"\"This really happened to my sister's co-worker's hairdresser\"\") to buttress its credibility. Sometimes, but not always, there's an implied moral message, e.g., \"\"Be careful, or the same horrible (or embarrassing, or enraging, or inexplicable, etc.) thing might happen to you! \"\" Urban legends are a type of folklore — defined as the beliefs, stories and traditions of ordinary people (\"\"the folk\"\") — so one way of differentiating between urban legends and other kinds of narrative (popular fiction, for example) is by examining where they come from and how they're disseminated. Legends arise spontaneously and are rarely traceable to a single point of origin. And again, they're spread primarily through interpersonal communication and only in atypical cases via mass media or other institutional means. Because they end up being repeated by many different people in many different places, the stories tend to change over time."

Mainstream scientce considers the Yeti as nothing more than a haox or misidentification of an already known speicies, but thost who have seen the Yeti have a much different belief. The Western name Yeti is derived from the Tibetan word Yeh-Teh, which translates into �little man-like animal�. It is a false cognate with Old English geottan, or yettin in modern English, which is an antiquated word for an orc or troll. In the Sherpa language, the word Yeti actualy means �That there thing�. In 1921 the name Abominable Snowman was coined by British Lieutenant Colonel Charles Kenneth Howard-Bury. While leading �The Everest Reconnaisance� group on the Lhakpa La in the Mount Everest region, Howard-Bury�s team discovered strange footprints at about 20,000 feet up. When Howard-Bury returned to Calcutta he discribed his sighting to Henry Newman, a reporter for The Statesman. While documenting the story, Newman mistranslated the word Metoh from the full name Meteh Kangmi, the words the Sherpas had used to describe the creature, Meteh meaning dirty, fifthy or discusting and Kangmi meaning man of the snow. Instead of translating the name Meteh as he should he translated the word Metoh which was mistranslated into abominable."

Open Document Ideal Woman In magazines stuffed with models and advertisements, billboards on the highway, and actresses on television, the message of what women should look like is everywhere. Advertising is a powerful force in our culture due to the exposure. The decided presence of these images in effect shapes the image of women today. It is very unfortunate that the media influences American society to the point that it defines the \"\" ideal woman \"\". The \"\"ideal woman\"\" is defined as someone that is thin, young, and beautiful. Today it seems as if being thin is the only way to go. There is a wealth of businesses that depend upon the American desire to be thin to survive. Exercise and diet companies are a perfect example. In order to create a market for their product they attempt to make women feel imperfect about their own bodies through advertisement. Advertisers manipulate women into thinking their value is dependent on their physical appearance."

Prehistoric animals of colossal size; Mammoth, Bison, Camel, Bear, vulcher, and even beaver, of very large proportions have co-existed with our ancient ancestors in the dawn of pre-history between 2 million and 5,000 years ago in America and the entire globe. Examples of these giants would be: Teratornis-meriamii or Teratornis Woodburnensis, a giant vulture whose wingspan spread between 12 and 20 feet wide. Or how about the Columbian, or Imperial mammoth who stood 12-16 feet at the shoulder, Giant short faced bears 10- 12 feet tall, Beavers 6 to 8 feet long, Bison 9 feet tall at the shoulder, and camels 12 to 18 feet high."

He inspired the people, gave them hope and protected them, much as he had as Prince Charming before. There was nothing he wouldn’t do to be reunited with Mary Margaret and Emma, including being put under a sleeping curse, and he was overjoyed when they found their way home. He encouraged Mary Margaret to find a better way to deal with Cora, but when she finally confessed to him that her heart had been darkened, he stood by her as well. Now his grandson, Henry, has been kidnapped and taken to Neverland by agents of Peter Pan, and this steadfast warrior sets off to once again defend his family and save Henry. Season 2Charming is everything you would look for in the quintessential heroic prince. Incredibly brave and selfless, he’s a born leader who doesn’t quit, even in the face of insurmountable odds. They say that true love is the most powerful magic of all, and Charming’s feelings for Snow provide him with the conviction and strength necessary to accomplish any task. However, when he awoke in Storybrooke after twenty-eight years in a coma as David Nolan, he appeared to be a man split in two. Unable to reconcile the life he was told he used to live—married to Kathryn Nolan—and the feelings he felt for Mary Margaret, David was plagued by indecision."

"text": "Print Cite Even if you disagree with Napoleon Bonaparte’s famous remark that “history is a set of lies that people have agreed upon,” there’s little doubt that myths, misconceptions and outright fabrications have often shaped our understanding of the past. In some instances, these legends have become so ingrained that they overshadow the actual facts of a historical figure’s life. Find out the truth about seven notable people who’ve become forever linked with something they never did. Abner Doubleday (for inventing baseball)Abner Doubleday was a Civil War general and abolitionist who famously ordered the first Union shots in defense of Fort Sumter. But while he had a distinguished military career, Doubleday is more commonly remembered for inventing baseball—even though he did no such thing. The story dates back to 1905, when former National League president A. G. Mills headed a commission to investigate the origins of America’s favorite pastime. Based on a letter from a man named Abner Graves, the commission incorrectly concluded that Doubleday had invented baseball in Cooperstown, New York, in 1839. In truth, Doubleday was attending West Point in 1839 and had never claimed any involvement with baseball. Nevertheless, the myth persisted for years, and the Baseball Hall of Fame was even established in Cooperstown on the sport’s mistaken centennial in 1939. Lady Godiva (for her naked horseback ride)Lady Godiva is best known for defiantly riding naked through the streets of medieval Coventry to protest the crippling taxes her husband had levied on the townspeople."

Tall tale tellers usually claim some sort of personal involvement in the story. I was curious about the origin of the phrase itself, and in the course of poking around, I found that tall in this phrase means exaggerated, so \"\"tall tale\"\" means an \"\"exaggerated story. \"\" What I can't seem to find is where this term originated. It seems to be sometime in the middle to late 1800s in the US, but who coined this term? Was it a famous author? Did someone publish a book of tall tales around that time? ( More specifically, the argument revolves around whether or not Mark Twain was responsible, although if it's not him, then who? ) EDIT: According to Etymology Online, tall \"\"meaning 'exaggerated' (as in tall tale) is Amer."

"text": "Info Barrel > Health How Common is Shingles in Young Adults By Sonni57Jan 26, 20120 Shares 0 0 0 0Shingles Virus How common is shingles in young adults is a question that is asked more often than it used to be and for good reason. Shingles in young adults didn't used to be as common as it is these days and you're probably thinking why this is. Well, I can't prove it, but I believe that it's due to young people having weaker immune systems than they used to. Young adults aren't as healthy as they were 30 or 40 years ago or even 10 -20 years ago and it's getting worse not better. Statistics will tell you this if you want to see for yourself. It is common knowledge that young people abuse their bodies more than ever with anything or in any way they can. Obesity is at an all time high and health problems abound, creating an ever weakening immune system. Whether you know it or not one of the primary triggers of shingles outbreaks is a weak immune system. This is the main reason why the elderly are at such a high risk for shingles since the immune system is known to weaken with age. This isn't to say that a weak immune system causes shingles, because it doesn't, but a weak immune system can trigger shingles."

This is impossible, however, without a well-shingled roof, as water will just drip through and potentially damage everything inside. Shingling your shed roof is fairly simple and straight forward fortunately, and if done correctly, it won't need replacement for some time. Safety Measures Always put safety first in any DIY project. In this case, wear goggles and work gloves at all times. Take special caution while you are on the roof as well, and wear the appropriate shoes to keep you steady. Any number of accidents can happen while up high, and most of them are caused by negligence; pay attention to where you step and always keep your balance. Step 1 - Strip old Roofing Materials If this is an old shed, you will need to remove the existing shingles before you can lay the new stuff. Use a fork to work the edges lose, and then begin to strip them off with a shovel. Take care where you discard the existing materials for the time being, and make sure to get rid of them properly later."

I know one part of the roof needs new wood on the roof (what the shingles sit on) but most of it is just replacing the shingles. I am wondering if it would be cheaper now and in the long run to do metal panels instead of shingles. So my questions would be1. Lifetime- comparison of the 2, which lasts longer2. Price- (lowes has panels for $16.00 compared to $30.00 for shingles)3. Weathering- How will in comparison the metal hold up to high winds, and hail? Will it cause the house to heat up dramatically in the summer?4. Ease of installation- Which is easier and cheaper for the roofers to install?5. Does roof pitch or angles make a difference when using metal panels?6."

Posted By Lyons Roofing If you know it’s time for a new shingle roof on your home, you may have heard that you can just put a new layer of shingles over the existing one. But is this true? In short, the answer is yes, but doing so may not always be a good idea. In this article we’ll explain: When roofing over your existing shingles can be a good idea When you should tear off your roof and start from scratch, instead. Why Installing New Shingles over Old Shingles Can Be Good Let’s start with the good. Many Arizona homeowners with shingle roofs do decide to roof over their existing shingles because: Less expensive. You can save money because there’s no dump fee for removing your old roofing, and there’s no need for additional felt paper over the old roof. Less hassle. Installing a new roof over shingles takes less time than tearing off the old roof."

"text": "\"Can You Lay New Roof Shingles Over Old?45SHARES Posted by Philip Schmidt | Jan 23, 2014Get free estimates from qualified pros Get free quotes »Photo: John Morgan/Twitter The answer is yes, you can lay new roof shingles over old ones. Now that we've taken care of the primary question at hand, we'll consider a couple of reasons why you might want to do this. Then we'll look a lot more reasons why you might not want to do this. But before we get started, one thing must be clear: adding new roofing over old (sometimes called a \"\"re-roof\"\") is possible only with asphalt shingles (also called \"\"composition shingles\"\"). You can't do it with wood or slate, for example, and you should never mix materials, such as laying asphalt shingles over cedar shakes. Also, the old roofing has to be in pretty good condition. Otherwise you're just putting lipstick on a pig. Why Add New Roof Shingles Over Old? Contrary to what might seem like an obvious benefit, having multiple layers of shingles does not necessarily make a roof more waterproof, and it often creates its own problems. So why would you lay new roof shingles over old?"

They can be, but they're not very risky to use. Tampons can cause TSS (toxic shock syndrome) which can be fatal. It can happen to anyone, even with proper use (changing them often and not leaving them in too long), but it is VERY rare. Do they make you lose your virginity? No. They can break your hymen (the membrane that partially covers your vagina), but that can also be broken by sports or even riding a bike. A virgin is someone who has never had sex.

Its name comes from the ancient greek for \"\"hymenaeus,\"\" which means \"\"vaginal-flap.\"\" It was also the name for the Greek god of marriage, later also the Greek god of membranes; \"\"Hymenaios.\"\" [ 2] [3] A slang term is \"\" cherry \"\", as in \"\"popping one's cherry\"\" (losing one's virginity). It forms part of the vulva, or external genitalia. [ 4] [5] The most common formation of the hymen is crescentic or crescent -shaped, although several other formations are possible. [ 6] After a woman gives birth she may be left with remnants of the hymen called carunculae myrtiformes or the hymen may be completely absent. [ 7]The hymen has no known anatomical function. In societies which value chastity, the greatest significance of the hymen is a traditional belief that an intact hymen indicates a state of intact virginity. However, it is not possible to confirm that a woman or post- pubescent girl is not a virgin by examining the hymen. ["

Women aged 15 to 25 years who use tampons during menstruation appear to have a higher risk of developing toxic shock syndrome (TSS), but it can happen to anyone. The condition was first noted as a health hazard for women of reproductive age in 1980, when several healthy women from different states died, following an unexplained illness that involved a fever, shock, and multiple organ failure. Various cases had been noted since the 1920s, but in 1980, TSS became a notifiable disease. TSS is rare. Small studies suggest that it affects around 3 women of reproductive age in every 100,000 every year in the United States. In 1980, the annual incidence was around 6 in every 100,000 women aged 19 to 44 years, in the U. S. However, after 1986, following the introduction of federal regulations and the removal of super-absorbent tampons from the market, the numbers decreased, according to the National Organization for Rare Diseases (NORD), and they may be as low as 1 in every 100,000. Signs and symptoms Tampon use can increase the risk of TSS. The two types of TSS are: Staphylococcal TSS, caused by the Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria Streptococcal TSS (STSS), caused by group A Streptococcus, or \"\"strep,\"\" bacteria Signs and symptoms of TSS develop suddenly and progress quickly. The first indication is normally a sudden, high fever."

Answered Sep 6, 2015 · Author has 544 answers and 2.8m answer views In most cases nothing of note will happen if you leave your tampon in overnight, but it does increase your risk of developing a vaginal infection such as Bacterial Vaginosis or of developing Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). Tampons should be changed every 4-6 hours - most people sleep for longer than this so overnight there's risk of you leaving the tampon in too long, the longer the tampon is left the longer bacteria have to multiply and they do so exponentially so even a few hours extra can make a significant difference. Tampons should be alternated with pads - tampons prevent vaginal cleaning, impact on vaginal p H, and damage vaginal tissues. Alternating with pads allows the vagina a chance to clean, adjust, and heal after tampons use - overnight is the most convenient time to switch to pads. Tampon absorbency is important - higher absorbency means higher vaginal tissue damage, allowing bacterial toxins easier access to the bloodstream, overnight when laying down less blood may flow down into the vaginal canal so there's a risk of using too high an absorbency when using overnight. If you use tampons it's best to use pads overnight, alternatively consider safer options like menstrual cups or softcups which can be worn for up to 12 hours with any flow and no need to alternate with pads so safe overnight.8.2k Views Your response is private.

Fingering yourself or having your partner finger you could stretch the hymen or break it. If the hymen were already gone because of physical activity, the bleeding and pain would be minimal.

But as I'm not a tampon-user (nor wish to become one), I'm not exactly sure how painful intercourse will be, for the first time, nor what will happen to the hymen. I always assumed it was a thin membrane that, upon penetration, would shrink evenly to the sides. But I seem to have what you might call a flesh tab, and though I've looked at pictures offered in Our Bodies, Ourselves, I'm not sure I understand how an opening will be created, and have the horrifying idea that a piece of flesh is going to drop out or be torn right out of me. Is it normal to have a flesh tab? What will happen to it? And if I tried inserting a tampon, would that facilitate the tearing process? Please help."

Tampons are so commonplace in the lives of most women that we rarely stop to question their history. Unlike menstrual pads, which have gone through an elaborate evolution over their hundred or so years of commercial production, tampons have remained pretty much the same. While pads went from reusable rags to disposable cotton worn attached to a belt, from bulky rectangular sponge-like things to ultra-thins with wings, tampons have always been wads of cotton or rayon fibers attached to a cord and sometimes inserted with an applicator of one variety or another."

"text": "\"Dear Alice,Okay, a question has been asked amongst my friends, and no one seems to know the answer: What is the physiological purpose of the hymen? Dear Reader,The physiological purpose of the hymen is one of the eternal mysteries of women's bodies. Although it doesn't seem to have a specific function, it's thought that hymen tissue remains as a vestige of vaginal development. Embryologically, it tended to keep germs and dirt out of the vagina. In infants and children, the hymen can serve a protective purpose by helping to prevent things from being pushed into the vagina; sometimes, a damaged hymen is looked at as an indicator of abuse and incest. Throughout history, there have been cultures that forbid sexual activity outside of marriage; some of these have considered an \"\"intact\"\" hymen \"\"proof\"\" of purity. This connection continues to have a psychological and cultural impact today. Medically speaking, however, the concept of an \"\"intact\"\" hymen is a myth. That's because hymens vary in shape, size, and thickness. Among the multiple possibilities are hymens that surround the entire vaginal entrance, with an open space in the center (called an annular hymen), and hymens that appear open with a thin line of skin down the middle (a septate hymen)."

"text": "Anilyn Badua, Medical Assistant Answered Mar 10, 2016 · Author has 139 answers and 60.5k answer views Tannins (commonly referred to as tannic acid) are water-soluble polyphenols that are present in many plant foods. Tannins in these fruits thus serve as a natural defense mechanism against microbial infections. The antimicrobial activities of tannins are well documented. The growth of many fungi, yeasts, bacteria, and viruses was inhibited by tannins. Tannins are found in many of the foods you eat, including fruits, teas, wine and edible grasses -- like corn. Tannin blocks the orifices of tiny cells in the body, which absorbs nutrient from eaten food. When tannin reaches stomach it disturbs the secretion of juices for digestion of food. The consequence is indigestion, constipation that affects liver. More tannins would be more likely to seem watery, weak, or thin-bodied. Anyway tannins have both positive and negative effects on health, and like most substances, are healthiest in moderation.989 Views · View Upvoters Your response is private."

Usually tea is steeped for roughly 3-5 minutes. Loose teas with larger leaves you can steep for longer. Some loose teas, like oolong and jasmine or green teas are left in the pot when they are served at table in restaurants and are not removed from the pot - and that's fine, there's no harm. Tannins are not tannic acid, they are polyphenols that contain flavonoids that have antioxidant effects and are beneficial for health. Tannic acid is usually sourced from oak, and while it is a polyphenol, like tea, it is not found in tea, that's a misunderstanding. Tannic acid it's a byproduct of tannins, it has to be commercial processed by extraction to become tannic acid There's no harm in leaving tea in the cup for a long time. Tea steeped for a long time can can make the tea taste a little more bitter because it is strong, and has an astringent effect in the mouth, leaving you feeling dry and puckery.

Find out how your daily tea or coffee could be affecting your levels of iron. As a coffee and tea-loving nation we manage to get through an amazing 235 million cups every day, but could the substances in your daily cuppa be affecting your iron absorption? Both tea and coffee contain chemical compounds called tannins. Tannins are naturally occurring organic substances known as polyphenols and are present in wine, beer, fruit juices, berries, pomegranates, nuts, smoked foods, legumes, some herbs and spices. These tannins could be affecting your iron absorption. One study has shown that tea consumption may reduce iron absorption by as much as 60% and coffee reduces its uptake by 50%. The tannins in both tea and coffee adversely affect iron availability, which could lead to iron deficiency anaemia. Another study showed just 5mg of tannins inhibited absorption by 20%, 25mg by 67% and 100mg by 88%, whereas some research inferred you would have to drink more than 3 strong cups of tea a day to have this effect."

"text": "Phenols Various compounds of phenols are common in plant tissues, each of which may enclose a number of grams per every kilogram. Phenol compounds present in plant tissues begin to blend as a result of stimulants on the outer surface like ultraviolet radiation, microbial infections or and chemical changes. Most phenol amalgams are phytochemicals that are basically found in some plant tissues and there are as many as 4000 such compounds. All plants create numerous organic amalgams that are always not related to the basic metabolism like progress, growth and development and the functions of these natural compounds in plants have only been noticed recently in a diagnostic perspective. Although these organic amalgam produced by the plants do not help in growth, they are effective in other ways. While some of these protect plants from predators and pathogens, others help in the reproductive process by fascinating pollinating agents or scattering the seeds. Many of them are also useful as they help to produce poisons that protect the plants. Most of the organic products found in plants may be grossly put into three broad categories - alkaloids, phenylpropanoids and terpenoids. While phenylpropanoids are mostly phenolic amalgams, terpenoids are made up of five carbon elements that are blended through the acetate or mevalonate method or the glyceraldehydes 3-phospate/pyruvate process. Many of the terpenoids produced by the plants are a sort of contaminants that protect the plants from being devoured by herbivores creatures or functionally attractants for pests and animals."

According to Chanchal Cabrera, salicylate-rich herbs are “…antiseptic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, diaphoretic, anti-pyretic, anti-thrombotic, [and they] stimulate peripheral circulation and promote epithelial regeneration” (27). To reduce fever these herbs act on the hypothalamus (in charge of thermoregulation) which starts the diaphoretic action. I often hear herb commerce and the media call meadowsweet and other salicylate-rich plants the “herbal aspirins”. Aspirin got its name, of course, from spirea (salicylic acid, the active ingredient in aspirin, is named after another rich source, Salix, or willow). While it is certainly true that plants share an ingredient of aspirin, it is not a one-for-one trade. Jill Stansbury states “ [Botanical medicines] are more comprehensive tools than aspirin or acetaminophen. Furthermore, they are better tolerated, have fewer side effects, and are more readily excreted via the kidneys, liver, and intestines then are pharmaceutical [s]” (123). For instance, aspirin and its chemical relatives are harmful to the stomach. Meadowsweet is healing to the stomach."

Your aquarium’s p H can be “normal”, “low”, or “high”, and they each mean something different. What is “Low” p H? – A low p H means that there is an increase of hydrogen ions, making the water more acidic.

The word tannin stems from the use of this compound to “tan” leather. Which is why your tongue feels a little like leather when drinking a high tannin wine without food. Wikipedia defines tannins as “an astringent, bitter plant polyphenolic compound that binds to and precipitates proteins and various other organic compounds including amino acids and alkaloids”. That is certainly a mouthfeel but the key points are that it is bitter and that it binds with proteins. Both of these characteristics is what leads to that dry taste red wines are known for. Wines pick up tannins from the stems, seeds, and skins of winemaking grapes. White wines, as you know, do not undergo a long maceration (aging on the skins). Because of this they have little in the way of tannins and they don’t pick up the coloring of the skins."

Individuals can develop diarrhea for a variety of reasons, ranging from a mild intestinal illness to a serious case of food poisoning. Generally, diarrhea will clear up within a few days. Regardless of the underlying cause, it is important to take the necessary steps to bring the condition under control. There are many home remedies that can be used to help you get a handle on diarrhea and alleviate the symptoms associated with the condition. Stay Hydrated When experiencing bouts of diarrhea, the body rapidly loses excess fluids. It doesn’t take long for dehydration to occur. If the diarrhea is accompanied by vomiting, the potential for becoming dehydrated is even greater. When dehydration occurs, it worsens your symptoms, leading to nausea and a loss of appetite, which makes it more difficult for you to drink fluids."

But tea also contains tannins, which can be good for certain reasons, but the compounds aren't always beneficial. Teas contain different levels of tannins, depending on their color, and learning how to tell the difference will help you choose what tea, if any, belongs in your healthy eating plan.

Tannins also help proteins retain their molecular structure, Cornell University notes. This means that the proteins are able to function normally in your body. The exact amount of tannins in various types of tea varies depending on what color the tea is and how long it was steeped before drinking it. Black and White Tea Fresh leaf tea contains more tannins than processed teas, according to Victor R. Preedy, author of \"\"Tea in Health and Disease Prevention.\"\" The color of tea influences tannins, too. White tea, for example, has fewer tannins than black tea, according to the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine."

Tanned leather in Marrakesh Tanning is the process of treating skins and hides of animals to produce leather. A tannery is the place where the skins are processed. Tanning hide into leather involves a process which permanently alters the protein structure of skin, making it more durable and less susceptible to decomposition, and also possibly coloring it. Before tanning, the skins are unhaired, degreased, desalted and soaked in water over a period of 6 hours to 2 days. Historically this process was considered a noxious or \"\"odoriferous trade\"\" and relegated to the outskirts of town. Traditionally, tanning used tannin, an acidic chemical compound from which the tanning process draws its name (tannin is in turn named after an old German word for oak or fir trees, from which the compound was derived). The use of a chromium (III) solution was adopted by tanners in the Industrial Revolution.

"text": "Dog Diseases & Conditions A-ZOverview There are many types of tapeworms that can affect dogs, even some that can cause deadly disease and infect people. Luckily, by far the most common type, Dipylidium caninum, is basically harmless to your pooch and of no worry to you. The following article concerns this common type of tapeworm, which can sometimes live in your dog’s small intestine -- feeding off the food she eats as it makes its way through her digestive system. It's totally disgusting to think that in the early 1900s, it was vogue to consume tapeworms as an easy means of weight loss. So, what exactly is a tapeworm? Tapeworms get their name from the fact that they look like — you guessed it — tape. The body of the tapeworm is segmented up to its neck. Its mouth is filled with six sets of teeth that the parasite uses to attach itself to the intestinal lining. Once it’s attached, it moves in permanently and starts stealing its meals from your pooch.

Animals can become infected with these parasites when grazing in pastures or drinking contaminated water. Eating undercooked meat from infected animals is the main cause of tapeworm infection in people. Although tapeworms in humans usually cause few symptoms and are easily treated, they can sometimes cause serious, life-threatening problems. That's why it's important to recognize the symptoms and know how to protect yourself and your family. Tapeworm Causes Six types of tapeworms are known to infect people. They are usually identified by the animals they come from -- for example, Taenia saginata from beef, Taenia solium from pork, and Diphyllobothrium latum from fish. Tapeworms have a three-stage lifecycle: egg, an immature stage called a larva, and an adult stage at which the worm can produce more eggs. Because larvae can get into the muscles of their hosts, infection can occur when you eat raw or undercooked meat from an infected animal. It is also possible to contract pork tapeworms from foods prepared by an infected person."

Invasion by the Cestoda tapeworm results in a medical condition that is referred to as cestodiasis. The tapeworm species can include Taenia, Dipylidium Caninum, Echinococcus, and Mesocestoides. Treatment to destroy tapeworms is a critical step in preventing transmission to humans (typically children), and for averting damage to the cat's body. When treated promptly, prognosis is positive. Tapeworm Symptoms in Cats As the tapeworm grows, pieces of it break off into segments and pass into the intestines. You may see dried, white to cream colored segments, or pieces of tapeworm in your cat's feces or stuck to the fur under the tail. Some tapeworm species will break off into segments that are too small to see, while the segments of other tapeworm species will resemble sesame or cucumber seeds in size and appearance. Still other species of worms will pass directly into the feces, where they can be readily seen."

"text": "\"Veterinary Advice Online - Taenia Tapeworm Life Cycle. The tapeworm Genus Taenia comprises many different important species of tapeworm parasite infesting dogs, cats, humans, rodents and livestock animal species. Species of parasitic Taenia tapeworms important to human and animal medicine include: Taenia saginata (known as 'the beef tapeworm') - the adult form of the tapeworm resides in the human intestine (technically making it as much a human tapeworm as a 'beef' or cattle tapeworm) and the juvenile stage of the tapeworm (the stage of the tapeworm life cycle contagious to humans) resides in the muscles or meat of cattle (and to a lesser extent buffalos, llamas, giraffes, sheep, goats and certain deer species); Taenia solium (the pork tapeworm) - a very dangerous tapeworm species whose adult form resides in the human gut and whose lethal juvenile or larval form resides in the muscles and organs of pigs and people (this page contains loads of information on the dangerous Taenia solium pork tapeworm so read on); Taenia pisiformis - a canine tapeworm whose larval form is carried by rabbits and hares; Taenia ovis - a canine tapeworm whose larval form is carried in the muscles and hearts of sheep; Taenia taeniaeformis - a tapeworm in cats whose larval form is carried by rodents such as rats, muskrats and voles; Taenia hydatigena - a canine tapeworm whose larval form is carried by sheep, goats, pigs, cattle, deer and wild livestock ungulates; Taenia multiceps - a canid (dog and dog-related species) tapeworm whose larval form isgenerally carried in the brains of sheep and goats (occasionally horses, rabbits and cattle); Taenia crassiceps - a tapeworm of foxes or dogs whose juvenile stages are generally carried by rodent animals; Taenia serialis - a fox and dog tapeworm carried by rabbits, hares or rodents. Taenia brauni - a fox and dog tapeworm carried by gerbils. The different species of Taenia all tend to be very species specific with regard to the animal hosts, both definitive and intermediate (intermediate hosts and definitive hosts are discussed in section 1), that they will activelyinfest. For example, Taenia saginata: the beef tapeworm, will only infest humans (definitive host)and, for the most part, cattle (intermediate host). Likewise, Taenia pisiformis: one of the two major 'rabbit tapeworms', will only infest canine species (definitive host) and rabbits (intermediate host). Having said this, despite there being vastly differing kinds of host animals involved in each of the Taenia species' life cycles, the overall two-host life cycle structure of the various Taeniid species does seem to be similar in all cases. For this reason, the different Taenia species can all be discussed using a common Taenia life cycle diagram, which is what I have chosen to do (see section 1). This Taenia tapeworm life cycles page contains a detailed, but simple-to-understand explanation of thecomplete Taeniid tapeworm life cycle."

Most owners detect the small, flat, white, rice-like segments of the tapeworm which are shed in the intestine and passed out the anus onto the hair or on the bowel movement. When these segments fall off the haircoat onto the bedding,, they dry and look like dried grains of rice, only flatter. These segments contain the tapeworm eggs. Evolution developed this nifty form of ensuring a continuing population of tapeworms by placing the egg containing segments in the same environment (the bedding where the pet lays) as the flea eggs which fall off the coat in the same location. When the flea eggs hatch, the flea larvae eat the tapeworm segments and become infected, allowing for the development of the tapeworm in the flea. When the flea is later groomed off the coat by the pet and ingested, the pet becomes infected with tapeworms. You can often see the dried sections of tapeworm around the dogs anus.

They belong to a different family than hookworms and roundworms, which are the other common intestinal parasites of dogs and cats. Several types of tapeworms are known to infect cats. Dipylidium caninum is by far the most common species observed in cats. The tapeworm uses its hook-like mouthparts for anchoring to the wall of the small intestine. Eventually, adult tapeworms may reach several inches in length. As the adult matures, individual segments called proglottids break off from the main body of the tapeworm and pass into the cat's feces.

Adult worms are about 18 inches long. Eggs (or “egg clusters” or “egg balls”) are passed in the host's feces and ingested by fleas, which are in turn ingested by another mammal after the tapeworm larvae partially develop. Examples of fleas that can spread D. caninum include: Ctenocephalides canis and Ctenocephalides felis. As in all members of family Dipylidiidae, proglottids of the adult have genital pores on both sides (hence the name double-pore tapeworm). Each side has a set of male and female reproductive organs. The scolex has a rostellum with four rows of hooks, along with the four suckers that all cyclophyllid cestodes have. In cats, sometimes proglottids are visible hanging out of a cat's anus. Inside fleas, eggs hatch and form oncosphere larvae that move through the wall of the flea intestine into the body cavity where they become cysticercoid larvae, which are infective to mammal hosts.

"text": "Tapeworms Tapeworms are long, flat worms that attach themselves to your cat’s intestines. A tapeworm body consists of multiple parts, or segments, each with its own reproductive organs. Tapeworm infections are usually diagnosed by finding segments—which appear as small white worms that may look like grains of rice or seeds—on the rear end of your cat, in your cat’s feces, or where your cat lives and sleeps. There are several different species of tapeworms that may infect your cat, each with stage (s) in a different intermediate (in-between) host, which the cat eats. Some use fleas as the intermediate host; others use small rodents, such as mice and squirrels, as intermediate hosts. How will tapeworms affect my cat? Cats rarely show any signs associated with tapeworm infection. Occasionally infection with uncommon tapeworms results in disease, however. How do I prevent my cat from getting tapeworms? Try to keep your cat from coming in contact with intermediate hosts that contain tapeworm larvae."

The tapir is found in moist, dense forests in the more temperate regions of the Southern Hemisphere. There are four known species of tapir today, all of which are classified as endangered. The different species of tapir are the Baird's Tapir which is native to Central America and the northern parts of South America. The Baird's Tapir can be identified by the fact that this species of tapir has a cream coloured marking on it's face. The Malayan Tapir (also known as the Asian Tapir) is the largest of the tapir species and has a distinctive white band across it's body. The Malayan Tapir once roamed the tropical forests across South East Asia but the Malayan Tapir today has a much smaller range primarily due to habitat loss. The Mountain Tapir is the smallest of the four different tapir species and (as the name suggests) it inhabits more mountainous regions rather than lowland forests. The Mountain Tapir is found in the high forests in the Andes mountains across Colombia, Ecuador and parts north of Peru. The Brazilian Tapir (also known as the South American Tapir) is known to be a fantastic swimmer and the Brazilian Tapir is generally found close to water in the Amazon Rainforest."

It is one of four ‘big cats’ in the ‘Panthera’ genus, along with the tiger, lion and leopard of the Old World. The jaguar is the third largest feline after the tiger and the lion. The jaguar is the largest and most powerful feline in the Western Hemisphere. The Jaguars present range extends from Mexico (with occasional sightings in the southwestern United States) across much of Central America and south to Paraguay and northern Argentina. Jaguar Characteristics The Jaguar is a compact and well-muscled animal. Rainforest jaguars are generally darker and considerably smaller than those found in open areas, possibly due to the fewer large herbivorous prey in forest areas. Jaguars grow to be about 1.62 – 1.83 metres (5.3 – 6 feet) in length and stand about 67 – 76 centimetres (27 – 30 inches) tall at the shoulders. Their tail is 2 – 3 feet (0.6 – 0.9 metres) long. Jaguars weigh around 36 kilograms (80 pounds)."

The four tapir species are most closely related to horses and rhinos, since they have an odd number of toes (four toes on each front foot, three on each back foot). Their eyes and ears are small, and the body is teardrop shaped: tapered in the front and wider at the rear, designed to walk through thick vegetation. Male tapirs are slightly smaller than females. The tapir's nose and upper lip combine into a flexible snout like an elephant's trunk.

They have a herbivorous diet, small brains (400–600 g) for mammals of their size, one or two horns, and a thick (1.5–5 cm) protective skin formed from layers of collagen positioned in a lattice structure. They generally eat leafy material, although their ability to ferment food in their hindgut allows them to subsist on more fibrous plant matter when necessary. Unlike other perissodactyls, the two African species of rhinoceros lack teeth at the front of their mouths, relying instead on their lips to pluck food.

Even though Belize has healthy numbers of the biggest feline in the Western hemisphere (up to 6ft long and 250lb in weight), your best chance of seeing one, as with many other species, is still at the Belize Zoo. They’re widely distributed, living almost anywhere that has large expanses of thick forest. The biggest populations and most frequent reported sightings are in the Chan Chich area and Rio Bravo Conservation & Management Area. You stand a good chance of seeing their tracks and maybe the remains of their meals in Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, which was established as a jaguar reserve in the 1980s, when the then highly endangered jaguar became protected in Belize. Belize has four smaller wildcats, all elusive like the jaguar: the puma (aka mountain lion or cougar), almost as big as the jaguar but a uniform gray or brown color (occasionally black); the ocelot, spotted similarly to the jaguar but a lot smaller; the margay, smaller again and also spotted; and the small, brown or gray jaguarundi.^ Back to top Monkeys The endangered black howler monkey exists only in Belize, northern Guatemala and southern Mexico. Its population has made a comeback in several areas, especially in the Community Baboon Sanctuary, set up in the 1980s specifically to protect this noisy animal. The sanctuary is now home to some 3000 individual monkeys. Other places where you stand a good chance of seeing and hearing howlers include: the Lamanai ruins; Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary; Chan Chich Lodge; and the Rio Bravo area.

"text": "February 3, 2008Home Endangered Species Moderately Endangered Saltwater Crocodile Saltwater Crocodile By Ezoic Moderately Endangered 12 Comments The saltwater crocodile is an endangered species, found throughout southeast Asia, and in northern Australia. In the northern territories of Australia, they are called “salties”. An adult male will reach a length of 15 to 21 feet long and can weigh up to 1700 pounds. There are many documented cases of them being larger than this though. The females are usually quite a bit smaller than this, with an average length of around 15 feet. Reportedly in 1957, a specimen that measured 28 feet was shot on the Norman river in Queensland, but the only evidence that remains is a plaster cast and so this is not considered to be an official case. This species has fewer plates on its neck than other crocodiles, and a very wide body, which in the past may have led many to believe that it was an alligator. The number of saltwater crocodiles has severely declined throughout much of their previous range. Sightings in places like Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand, where they were common, have become extremely rare, and they may actually be extinct in some of these places as no confirmed sightings have been recorded. They are quite rare in most parts of India, can be commonly found in the northeastern part of the country."

Their body temperature remains the same all the time even though the temperature of their environment might change. Being able to maintain their body temperature and having hair of different thicknesses for protection means mammals can live in almost every habitat on earth.

The Sumatran Tiger is classed as ‘critically endangered’ by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (on the IUCN ‘red list’), with numbers in the wild falling. The animals remaining in the wild may number in the hundreds. Threats include habitat loss as palm oil plantations are extended through their natural range, hunting for traditional medicine (although this is illegal in all countries), and loss of prey.

These wonderful mammals are extremely intelligent and live in large social groups that are dotted across Asia. As with too many species in today’s world the Asian Elephants are walking the path to extinction thanks to loss of habitat, poaching and becoming the victims of angry villagers who are protecting their crops at all costs, killing these elephants without a second thought. The Asian Elephant’s are large heavy built mammals who wield a powerful trunk and boasts the title of largest mammal in the whole of Asia. Smaller than the African elephant the Asian Elephant can be easily distinguished from its cousin by taking not of the curved back, smaller ears and unique dual dome type structures on its head. The Asian Elephant’s are of a gray/brown color and are covered in thin coarse hairs with a trunk that differs slightly from the African elephant. On occasion the Asian Elephant may be spotted with pink blotches on its skin usually around the face, these are common skin pigment deficiencies. The male Asian Elephant’s are often much larger than the females and can but up to twice the size. Female Asian Elephant’s may also lack tusks completely. Asian Elephant A young Asian Elephant The Asian Elephant can be found usually in grassy plains of woodland in large social groups."

Argueda Red-backed Squirrel Monkey (Titi monkey) An endangered species of red-backed squirrel monkey, Saimiri Oerstedii Citrinellus, also referred to as Mono Titi, is found within Manuel Antonio National Park. Habitat loss, traffic on busy highways and electrocution from power lines are all threats to this precious primate. White faced monkeys at the Rescue Center White-faced Capuchin Monkey They grow to just 6 pounds, but the few pounds they accumulate are full of attitude and character. Social by nature, these animals love to greet new members of the family, grooming and sniffing each infant that enters the clan. The males often engage in mock battles, swinging through the trees with high-pitched howls. Having seen these monkeys up close, I can truly say that they are the acrobats of the jungle. Kinkajou Three-toed Sloth & Two-toed Sloth In Manuel Antonio you will find an animal with 2 toes, but sometimes 3. The two-toed and three-toed sloths are a sight to see. These slow moving (hence the name “sloth”) animals move at a top speed of 1 mile in 4 hours. Sloths can hold food in their stomachs for a week, so it’s no surprise that they only “use the facilities” once a week."

Here are some important features that distinguish them: Mammals have advanced brains that benefit them in many ways. Hair on their bodies insulates from the cold. Finally, they do not lay eggs, but bear live young (this way, they can stay mobile during pregnancy instead of having to guard eggs). And the production of milk provides an ever available source of food for the offspring. Of around 4800 mammal species worldwide, 200 can be found in Costa Rica. Spotting mammals requires similar attention as spotting birds. Early in the morning is a good time (as nocturnal animals make their way to sleep) and zones around water bear a better chance of being frequented by mammals. As with most animals, try to remain quiet as you walk along: if they won’t hear you, you might hear them!Sloth (esp: perezoso)Of the five sloth species occurring in Costa Rica, there are two main families of sloths: two-toed and three-toed sloths. As is well-known of them, they are very slow movers, that spend most of their lives on trees, where they feed on leaves."

Hutchins TASTE BUDS AND CELLSFigure 5 Figure 6 Figure 7Circumvaliate Click here for larger image Foliate Click here for larger image Fungiform Click here for larger image Taste buds are found primarily in the tongue papillae. The tongue contains 4 types of papillae, the most common type, filiform, are thin and wire shaped and do not contain taste buds. On the dorsal, anterior border of the tongue are mushroom shaped papillae, fungiform, these have taste buds located near the middle or in a cleft of the papillae. The foliate papillae are leaf shaped with taste buds on the side of the papillae, and these are along the border. The circumvallate papillae contain taste buds along the sides of whorls and are located in the posterior third of the tongue in the shape of a V. Taste buds are also located in the oral mucosa of the palate and epiglottis. The taste cells are modified epithelial cells that function as sensory receptors. About 50-60 taste cells are located in pear-shaped taste buds and the taste cells through microvilli project into a taste pore. There are non-receptor basal cells which are located on the basement membrane which do not project into the taste pore. These basal cells differentiate through a series of morphological steps into a mature taste cell. The taste cells are replaced about every 10 days."

"text": "Taste Buds on the Human Tongue Posted by Dr. Chris Tweet What are the taste buds? The taste buds are the functional unit of the sense of taste. It is stimulated by certain chemicals in food and relays signals to the brain where it is perceived as the five taste sensations – sweet, salty, sour, bitter and . Odor (smell) and the texture of food can also alter the sense of taste. Apart from making the process of eating a more pleasurable experience and influencing the appetite, the sense of taste allows a person to select food base on the body’s nutritional needs. The human tongue has between 3,000 to 10,000 taste buds. Each taste bud is about 0.03 millimeter in diameter and about 0.06 millimeter long. Children have the most amount of taste buds and after the age of approximately 45 years, many taste buds begin to degenerate. Location of the Taste Buds The taste buds are housed on the papillae of the tongue where taste receptors are able to detect different chemicals. There are other taste receptors on the palate, epiglottis and upper esophagus but it is the receptors on the tongue that are the primary organ of taste."

Recent evidence suggests that this effect is mediated through specific l -glutamate receptors located on the taste buds. However, l -glutamate receptors are also present elsewhere in the gastrointestinal tract, such as the stomach. Here, l -glutamate exerts physiologic actions beneficial to gut function by stimulating l -glutamate receptors linked to the gastric vagus nerve. In addition, dietary l -glutamate also appears to be an important energy substrate for gut tissue."

"text": "\"The major salivary glands (together accounting for about 90% of the fluid production) include the paired parotid glands, which are located opposite the maxillary first molars, and the submandibular and sublingual glands, which are found in the floor of the mouth. Minor glands (that produce less than 10% of the total volume of saliva) are found in the lower lip, tongue, palate, cheeks, and pharynx. The terms major and minor refer to the anatomic size of the glands. Major glands do produce more saliva than minor glands, but the quality of content and thus the type of protection varies. Paradoxically, it could be argued that the minor salivary glands are the most important because of their protective components. The parotid glands are \"\"serous\"\" glands, for their acinar cells contain only serous-secreting cells, whose secretions are devoid of mucin compared to that of the submandibular and sublingual glands, which contain both serous- and mucin-secreting cells. The parotid glands produce a thin, watery, and amylase-rich fluid on stimulation which accounts for up to 50% of the mouth volume of saliva under stimulated conditions, whereas it contributes much less (20%) to the unstimulated saliva secretion. As compared with the parotid, the submandibular glands (comprising both serous and mucous acinar cell types) secrete a more viscous, mucin-rich saliva. They contribute predominantly (65%) to the unstimulated saliva secretion, and less (35%) to saliva under stimulated conditions. The viscosity of the submandibular saliva usually decreases with increasing flow rate since the serous cells have a greater response to stimulation than do the mucin-secreting cells."

They have:– Apical domain, directed towards the exterior surface.– Lateral domain, communicates with adjacent cells and is characterized by specialized attachment areas.– Basal domain, rest on the basal lamina anchoring the cell to underlying connective tissue.• Specific biochemical characteristics are associated with each cell surface.• The Apical Domain and its modifications1)Microvilli• Microvilli are small, slender, fingerlike projections of the apical cell surface formed by tube-like evaginations of the apical plasma membrane, with a core of cytoplasm containing microfilaments of actin.• Microvilli vary in length and number ad provide an increase in surface area.• Cells with a principle absorptive function, such as intestinal and kidney tubule epithelia, show closely packed, long, parallel microvilli on their apical surfaces, visible by light microscopy as a brush or striated border.• In these cells, the terminal web is well developed and appear as a horizontal network of microfilaments lying ing cytoplasm just below the basis of microvilli and extending peripherally to the zonula adherens.• Actin filaments lie superficially in this network and pass to the zonula.• Myosin is also present in the terminal web and an actin-myosin interaction results in shortening of microvillus core bundles and contraction of microvilli to aid the absorptive process.2) Stereocilia, microvilli of unusual length Limited to epididymus of male reproductive system (absorptive) and sensory hair cells of ear (receptor device3) Cilia• The cilia are fine, hair-like processes of the free apical surface of some epithelial cells.• They may be very numerous for example in respiratory epithelial cells, where they function to transport material (mucus) in one direction along the surface of the membrane.• Each cilium, undergo a rapid forward beat with a slower recovery stroke.

Occluding Junctions• The zonula occludens represents the most epical component in the junctional complex between epithelial cells and is created by localized sealing of adjacent plasma membranes.• It is not a continuous seal but is a series of focal fusions between the cells.• The transmembrane protein occludin has been identified as the sealing protein. Zonula occludens• Distribution: Fusion sites/strands highly variable (sparse ; kidney tubules- partially permeable, numerous ; intestinal epithelia & urinary bladder- impermeable)• In some tissues, tight junctions can be disrupted by removing calcium ions or treating with protease. The zonula occludens separates the luminal space from the intercellular space and connective tissue compartment.• It plays an essential role in the selective passage of substances from one side of an epithelium to the other• This transport must occur by active means and requires specialized membrane transport proteins.• The zona occludens, thus establishes functional domain in the plasma membrane."

Learning about which zodiac signs get along with another, we get an idea about the strongest compatible signs. Compatibility is a heavy word for couples - its importance is monumental in deciding whether two people can work things out in the long haul. If two people find it easy to connect in the beginning but hard to sustain later, it becomes quite clear that compatibility was out of the love equation. Love fades for some, it strengthens for others. The governing factor here is of course their compatibility ratio. When it comes to life in general, we can never say just how compatible we are with someone unless we've spent a good amount of time with them, during moments both good and bad. Time tests relations (of all kinds) and its resistance to change, drama, pain, loss, and the like. When the balance is disturbed, compatibility can be under a ton of pressure before one of the two in the relationship cracks, and reveals his / her true colors."

Looking at just a person's sun sign (or main astrology sign) isn't always a sure-fire way to predict true star sign compatibility, but it does give a general idea of which signs are the most harmonious. This list includes all of the star signs, in order, followed by their four most compatible signs. It also includes specifics about the various astrological signs' elements. When determining true compatibility in relationships (known as synastry), an astrologist analyzes more than just the sun signs, though that's certainly a starting point. Other factors that come into play with horoscope signs compatibility include specific moon signs' compatibility. Placements of Venus and Mars in a person's astrological birth chart are also important considerations. In short, it's key to consider the specific placements of a planet in a person's natal horoscope chart to find out whether or not they'll be compatible with another person.

"text": "celestial objects The Least Compatible Zodiac Signs Madame Ruby796.6k views 12 items Follow Embed The least compatible astrology signs are those that typically clash with one another. Each sign has some specific traits -- and if those traits don't mesh well with another sign's trait, problems can arise. This holds true in romance, friendship and/or business relationships. That being said, there are always exceptions: Some signs that shouldn't gel well at all wind up enjoying wonderful, life-long partnerships filled with harmony and light. This list includes each astrology sign's least compatible signs and opposite signs, along with some of the reasons they're incompatible. They say opposites attract -- but do they? Yes, in some cases, they do. This is particularly true with astrology. When a star sign is in the seventh position of another sign, they're considered opposites. The initial attraction might be extremely strong, but if a relationship between opposite signs is to work, both people have to be willing to compromise or face incompatibility."

Sagittarius is a perfect temperamental match for Aries. They are both active, spontaneous people who like socializing, have extravagant tastes in common, and enjoy the good life. The Aries' optimism and his good sense of humor will help to overcome propensity of the Sagittarius to argue and will bring a funny side into the process of making love. The mutual understanding achieved in a bedroom can create a favorable atmosphere for the relationship. This is a certainly successful and recommended union. The marriage will be connected closely in the area of physical satisfaction. In other words, if they make it in the bedroom, they'll make it everywhere else. Sagittarius and Taurus love compatibility They are two very different personality types. Extremely sexual Taurus will be pleased with the Sagittarius, but also angry with his/her aspiration to search for love wherever it is possible."

Which Star Signs should an Aquarius man or woman date? Aquarius Compatibility Here’s the strange thing about Aquarius. On the one hand, because it’s such a brilliant mixer it seems to get along easily with absolutely everyone. On the other hand, it’s a Star Sign that’s incredibly hard to get close to, due to its independence and emotional aloofness. For optimum compatibility, Aquarius does best with a partner for whom intimacy is somewhat less important than camaraderie and friendship. Signs Most Compatible With Aquarius As a Star Sign ruled by the element of Air, the safest bet for an Aquarius is probably one of the other two Air signs, i.e. GEMINI or LIBRA. The favorable 120° – or 4 signs – spacing between Zodiac signs in the same element makes for an especially harmonious relationship and a level of compatibility well above the norm."

Libras are beings that are very much concerned with fairness, justice, and most of all peace. They really do seem to live by the motto “can’t we all just get along” more than any other sign. Libras, like the other air signs, are also known for their high degree of sociability and love of intellectual pursuits, music, and the arts. They are definitely considered to be one of the most easy-going, agreeable signs. However, Libras also have a bad reputation for being wishy-washy individuals that avoid taking a stand, often out of fear of offending someone. Many Librans also have a tendency to want to be all things to all people, which can be a recipe for disaster. They must take care that this desire to please doesn’t turn into a tendency toward dishonesty in order to avoid rocking the boat. When it comes to love match astrology, Libras do best when matched with fellow air signs, but also get along well with complimentary fire signs. Best Matches Aquarius: Both Aquarius and Libra love socializing, talking, and being around people."

This means that any two zodiac signs are more or less compatible. So what is the difference between highly compatible signs and less compatible ones? Well, the degree of compatibility between two zodiac signs simply means how easily they can get along. In other words, a good understanding can always be achieved, but sometimes this comes easily and sometimes this takes patience and a lot of effort. Two people whose zodiac signs are highly compatible will get along quite easily no matter how careless, hasty and upset they might be at times. They are just \"\"on the same wavelength\"\" most of the time. By contrast, two people whose zodiac signs are less compatible will need to constantly \"\"tune in\"\" to each other's \"\"wavelength\"\".

"text": "\"In astrology compatibility, mode matters – that is, the mode of the sun signs concerned. In astrology, there are three modes (or methods of operating): cardinal, fixed and mutable. There are four cardinal signs, four fixed signs and four mutable signs, one from each element of fire, earth, air and water. Star sign compatibility suggests that signs sharing the same mode will get on well together romantically, but how does that work in practice? Find out by winning one of our free compatibility charts, or read on for a summary of how cardinal signs relate to one another. The four cardinal signs of the zodiac are Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. These dynamic individuals all take the initiative in life – these are go-getters, action orientated people, people who will take a leap of faith and just do something instead of wondering about it or planning it. They are dynamic people, the leaders of the zodiac. And when these signs fall in love? In astrological compatibility, mode tells us how the two sun signs interact with each other, so when two cardinal signs fall in love with each other, you know that it’s going to be a question of two leaders going head to head."

This is almost always only the privilege of someone who owns a small business. However, claiming utility bills often draws the attention of the IRS when it chooses who to audit. If you deduct utility bills on your taxes, prepare to back up your claim with verifiable evidence. Home Office Deduction If you have a brick-and-mortar business, you can always deduct expenses, such as utility bills. If you have a home office, you can also deduct a portion of your maintenance costs. The deduction for utility bills or any other recurring expense depends on the ratio of the size of the home office to your home. For instance, if your office takes up 5 percent of your home's square footage, you can deduct 5 percent of your utility bills. Rental Income You can deduct utility bills for a rental property, such as a timeshare or an apartment complex. If you have a dwelling you use for personal and business needs, you can only deduct utilities based on the amount you use the property for business."

Most times you just action and then toss them. But you may in fact be creating legal or tax issues by not keeping certain documents . Where possible you should try and retain a hard copy and electronic version ( scanned and stored in an external USB or hard drive) of all the relevant documents listed below. Tax Records – Business and Personal (7 years)The IRS only requires 3 years of tax records if you are audited. But if they find you are under-reporting your income (i.e. you owe taxes) they can request up to 7 years of tax records. However, where the IRS suspects fraudulent or missing returns, there is no limit on how far they can go back. Keep records for 3 years from the date you filed your original return or 2 years from the date you paid the tax, whichever is later, if you file a claim for credit or refund after you file your return. Keep records for 7 years if you file a claim for a loss from worthless securities or bad debt deduction.

For entrepreneurs who don’t have access to a spouse’s group health insurance plan, being self-employed usually means purchasing a policy in the individual health insurance market. And for those who are used to having an employer cover all or most of the premiums on a group plan, paying for an individual policy can induce a bit of sticker shock. This was particularly true prior to 2014, when the self-employed had to pay the full premium for an individual policy. But thanks to the ACA’s premium tax credits, many self-employed Americans are now getting help paying for their coverage. In addition to the premium tax credits, there are other ways that the self-employed can save a few dollars when it comes to healthcare. One obvious place to look is on their tax forms, but one look isn’t enough: federal deductions for health insurance change regularly, so keep up with code changes. For 2017 tax returns, the self-employed have several deductions and tax credits to utilize: Deduction for self-employed isn’t new If you buy your own health insurance, you should definitely know about the long-standing health insurance premium deduction for the self-employed. Congress implemented a 25 percent deduction for self-employed health insurance premiums in 1987 and made it permanent in 1994. The self-employed received even better news in 2003 when premiums became 100 percent deductible."

By keeping close tabs on those business deductions allowed by the Internal Revenue Service and adding up all those seemingly incidental purchases, you may be able to lessen the bite at tax time. The Internal Revenue Code allows you to deduct all \"\"ordinary and necessary\"\" expenses of operating your business — these can vary depending on the type of business. Below are some of the most common deductions small businesses take. You should speak with your tax advisor to see what other deductions your company can take advantage of.

February 21, 2014 in Financial Planning by Justin Mc Curry Facebook Twitter Google+ 0 Linked In Most people grow accustomed to the big chunk of federal income tax withheld in each paycheck. The more you make, the more they take. Americans paid over $1.3 trillion dollars in federal income tax during 2012. Most of the tax burden fell on the highest income earners. According to the IRS, the top half of taxpayers paid 98% of all federal income tax with the top 5% of taxpayers paid 59% of the all taxes. Those taxpayers falling in the lower half of the income distribution paid only 2% of the total income tax burden despite earning roughly 13% of all income. Every election season, the equity and fairness of our tax structure is a hotly debated topic. Some say we pay too much tax, period. Others say the hardest working, most productive members of society are unfairly burdened with a disproportionate share of the total tax bill."

But in the rush, you may be overlooking significant tax savings that homeownership can bring if you’re planning to itemize your deductions this year. Already done with your taxes? The good news is that these are 12 tax saving tips you can plan ahead for — and utilize next year, too!Mortgage Deduction The tax code allows homeowners to deduct the mortgage interest from their tax obligations. For many people, this is a huge deduction since interest payments can be the largest component of your mortgage payment in the early years of owning a home. Some Closing Cost Deductions The first year you buy your home, you’re able to claim the points (also called origination fees) on your loan, whether they’re paid by you or by the seller. And because origination fees of 1 percent or more are common, the savings are considerable. Property Tax Is Deductible Real estate property taxes paid on your primary residence and a vacation home are fully deductible for income tax purposes. Tax Deductions on Home Equity Lines In addition to your mortgage interest, you can deduct the interest you pay on a home equity loan (or line of credit). This allows you to shift your credit card debts to your home equity loan, pay a lower interest rate than the horrendously exorbitant credit card interest rates, and get a deduction on the interest as well."

"text": "Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load What is a 'Write-Off'A write-off is a deduction in the value of earnings by the amount of an expense or loss. When businesses file their income tax return, they are able to write off expenses incurred to run the business and subtract them from their revenue to determine their taxable income. For example, if you spent money on dinner to take out a client, a portion of that expense acts as a write-off against your business income because the cost of the dinner is a business-related expense. Next Up Schedule AInventory Write-Off Above The Line Deduction Interest Deduction BREAKING DOWN 'Write-Off'Similarly, imagine one of your business clients owes money to you but the client's business declared bankruptcy and became unable to pay the invoice to your company. The uncollectible debt is considered a loss your accountant can write off on your tax return. A write-off is a type of deduction, and in some cases, the words may be used interchangeably. For example, when a self-employed person or small business owner files his income tax return, he often refers to his business write-offs as deductions. Standard Deductions, Itemized Deductions and Write-Offs Not every deduction is considered a write-off. In particular, the Internal Revenue Service allows individuals to claim a standard deduction on their income tax return, and most tax filers do not refer to this deduction as a write-off. As of 2016, the standard deduction for a married couple is $12,600, meaning a married couple who files their tax return together may automatically deduct this amount from their income in addition to any other deductions for which they qualify."

Food can interact with the effectiveness of medications in many different ways. Food can change the rate at which medication is absorbed into the bloodstream. Food can also increase or decrease the total amount of the medication absorbed. Therefore, food can alter the time of medications’ reaction in the body and the total amount of medication delivered. Different types of food/ drink can have different effects on medication. A meal high in fat may actually increase the absorption of some products, while significantly decreasing delivery of other medications. The temperature of food and drink can also have a varying effect on medication. Hot liquids, like coffee and tea, can dissolve the release mechanism of certain timed-release products. This may produce higher than desirable blood levels soon after the medication is taken."

Caffeine will help keep you alert (but sleep is more important); sugar in coffee & energy drinks will give you a short burst of energy but will be followed by a crash. 2) Tea is not 'more healthy' than coffee. Coffee has 4x the antioxidants found in tea and studies have proven coffee reduces the chances of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Type II diabetes, and certain cancers. A recently published study shows people who drink a lot of coffee (regular or decaf) that develop prostate cancer have a greatly reduced chance of getting the most fatal variety.

Caffeine, like nicotine, is legal, and, if not addictive, it's definitely habit-forming. Caffeine is found in a number of plants: tea, coffee beans, guarana berries and cocoa nuts (although the quantity is quite small, around 0.2-0.4 per cent), where it acts as a toxin to defend against herbivores. Surprisingly, it's the leaves of the tea plant that contain the most caffeine, around 5 per cent compared to 1 to 2 per cent for coffee beans. How much? The scientific description of caffeine is 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine. We consume it in tea, coffee, soft drinks, energy drinks and chocolate. It's also an ingredient in cold medications, appetite suppressants and pain relievers and is effective against headaches and drowsiness. Green, black and white tea all come from the Camellia sinensis plant and contain similar amounts of caffeine, although Assam tea tends to have the higgest caffeine levels (red tea or Rooibos tea comes from a different plant and contains no caffeine)."

Caffeine is a bitter, white crystalline alkaloid extracted from the leaves, seeds and fruits of certain plants including coffee seeds, tea leaves and kola nut. This alkaloid acts as a pesticide in the plants producing it but a stimulant for the central nervous system in humans. Because of caffeine’s unique ability to temporarily prevent drowsiness and keep people alert, it has become the most popular, legal psychoactive drug in the world. Therefore, caffeine is naturally found in or added to teas, coffee and drinks including cola, soft and energy drinks. Regular intake of large amounts of caffeine can lead to a condition called caffeinism.

"text": "Dangers of Dehydration and The Importance of Kidney Cleansingby Andreas Moritz The human body is composed of 75 percent water and 25 percent solid matter. To provide nourishment, eliminate waste and regulate all the functions in the body, we need water. Most modern societies, however, no longer stress the importance of drinking water as the most important “nutrient” among all nutrients. Entire population groups are substituting water with tea, coffee, alcohol and other manufactured beverages. Many people don’t realize that the natural thirst signal of the body is a sign that it requires pure, plain drinking water. Instead, they opt for other beverages in the belief that this would satisfy the body’s water requirements. This is a false belief. It is true that beverages such as tea, coffee, wine, beer, soft drinks and juices contain water but they also contain caffeine, alcohol, sugar, artificial sweeteners or other chemicals that act as strong dehydrators. The more you drink these beverages, the more dehydrated you become because the effects they create in the body are exactly opposite to the ones that are produced by water. Caffeine containing beverages, for example, trigger stress responses that have strong diuretic effects (causing increased urination, at first)."

S., RD, CSSD, CSOWM, FAND – Senior Director, Worldwide Nutrition Education and Training 0 Comment Coffee, tea, fruit juice – water is everywhere. Water is important for your health, but do other beverages count toward meeting your daily fluid needs? You’ve probably heard the old expression, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.” Well, I’ve got plenty of clients who are just like that horse. They know water is important to their health, and they’ve heard the common advice that they should drink about eight glasses of water a day. But as one client said to me recently, “This is going to sound strange, but I just hate water—there’s no way I can choke down eight glasses of plain water a day.” Which leads to the question: Can I drink water alternatives, and do any other beverages count? In a word, yes—other beverages do count towards your daily liquid consumption. Many people take the water advice a bit too literally and assume that, even if they are drinking other beverages, they still need to drink eight glasses of plain water, too. Do Coffee or Tea Count?"

Answered Dec 12, 2011 · Author has 2.6k answers and 12.5m answer views Caffeine can relieve symptoms of fatigue. Subjects with colds reported decreased alertness and were slower at performing psychomotor tasks. Caffeine increased the alertness and performance of the colds subjects to the same level as the healthy group and decaffeinated coffee also led to an improvement. [ 1] However, although caffeine may make you feel better, it may not be the best decision health-wise. Caffeine can dehydrate you - which is often enough of a concern on its own anyway when you're sick. Caffeine is a diuretic and in general it makes sense to avoid diuretics when you're already concerned about staying hydrated. Coffee may reduce some measures of immune function slightly while leaving others unchanged. However, this effect is very low, so it's likely not a major factor. The effect of coffee consumption on the immune system, studied in 15 men and women, showed that the responses to PHA and Con A were about one-third lower during coffee drinking compared to a period of abstinence from coffee (117335, 99856 and 181236, 153315, P less than 0.004, 0.009 respectively)."

"text": "Coffee is typically considered a diuretic, at least from an official medical or dietary standpoint. A diuretic is any substance that stimulates urination in the body. Many of these sorts of compounds are synthetically created, usually for use in the treatment of certain specific conditions; some also occur naturally, as is the case where coffee is concerned. There isn’t usually anything about coffee itself that is intrinsically diuretic, except to the extent that it contains caffeine. Naturally occurring caffeine, be it in coffee beans, tea leaves, or elsewhere, typically has a mild diuretic effect. People who drink a lot of coffee often find themselves urinating more frequently than they would had they consumed only water. This more frequent flushing of the urine has some to believe that caffeine can dehydrate a person, though this isn’t usually accurate except in the cases of extreme or excessive consumption. Excessive caffeine consumption of any kind can also lead to a number of negative health consequences. Most experts recommend that coffee consumers drink plenty of water each day to maintain optimal health and avoid potential side effects. Understanding Diuretics Generally Diuretics are a class of chemicals that stimulate the production of urine, often forcing the kidneys to fill the bladder even when there isn’t otherwise a pressing need for fluid elimination."

Mc Mullen | Updated October 18, 2017The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) lives in the Yangtze Basin, one of the most biologically diverse regions of China. Found in mixed broadleaf and evergreen forests, pandas live in a narrow range of altitude, between 4,200 and 12,000 feet. The mountainous forests of the Yangtze Basin are home to an amazing diversity of animal species, including many rare and endemic species. Because the region is also a major economic center for China, many species are threatened with extinction. Red Panda Found only in the mixed foliage forests of eastern China and Nepal, red pandas (Ailurus fulgens) live in the same ecosystem as the giant panda. Although it is called a panda, the species is actually a relative of raccoons. Small and arboreal, red pandas are named for their striking rust-red coat, which is accented by white facial markings, a dark belly and striped tail. Solitary and nocturnal, they mark their territory with glandular secretions and urine. Like the giant panda, the red panda subsists on bamboo, supplementing its diet with eggs and insects. Although protected, they still face extinction due to habitat destruction."

If you want to breed your hamsters – or if you think your female hamster may get pregnant unexpectedly – then you’ll want to know how long you can expect to wait before you have lots of baby hamsters on your hands!One thing it’s important for us to point out is that the hamster gestation period (the time from when a baby hamster is conceived to when it is born) is different for different breeds of hamster. The gestation period for a Syrian hamster is 16 days; for dwarf and Chinese hamsters it is 18 – 21 days, and for Roborovski Hamsters it is 23 – 30 days. If you deliberately breed your hamsters then it’s a good idea to make a note of the mating period, as this helps you to know when the babies will be born. How can you tell if a hamster is pregnant? If you don’t know when mating took place you may not have a lot of warning before the babies arrive. And sometimes it’s difficult to tell whether a hamster is pregnant at all. Some hamsters do act differently early in their pregnancy. They may become more nervous or jumpy, or they may start to hoard nesting material."

In fact, one of the hardest parts of breeding and raising dwarf hamsters is leaving the babies alone with the mother for a long enough period of time before starting to touch them, mostly because – like all babies of all species – the little ones are so darned cute. There are five major types of coloring that dwarf hamsters have, and these are often a help in identifying which type of dwarf hamster one owns. These are: Agouti: Medium brown back, white belly. Albino: All white, no dorsal stripe, red eyes, and pinkish ears Argente: Light brown that ranges from sandy through cream to apricot, with a usually gray dorsal stripe. They generally have ruby eyes, unless they are BEAs (black-eyed argentes), which have black eyes instead. Black: The darkest browns and black, with a black dorsal stripe that is almost invisible because of the darkness of the rest of their fur. Opal: Silvery-blue, with a white or cream belly, and a dark gray dorsal stripe. Within these groups, there are many variations, such as Fawn, Blue, Dove, and Champagne. Some coats are banded (which means having a white collar at the neck), and some are solid colors, with no visible dorsal stripe."

Learn more about how long most hamsters live, and what you can do to ensure that your new, cuddly creature will live a full, healthy life under your roof, below. How Long do Hamsters Live? A hamster’s lifespan is a good deal shorter than that of most other common household critters, and any of the five species of domesticated hamster will generally live for two to three years, said Claudie, the proprietor of the Westchester Rescued Hamster Haven. Any hamster that is a year and a half old is considered elderly, she said, and how much your hamster shows his or her age will depend on a number of things, including their individual personality and energy level. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to help your hamster live a healthy, fulfilling life. Keeping Your Hamster Healthy The easiest thing to keep in mind when caring for your hamster is consistent hand washing. “Hamsters can actually catch colds from people,” Claudie says, “but what’s just a plain old cold for us can quickly turn into a bacterial respiratory infection in a hamster.” Thorough sanitizing shouldn’t be a practice exclusive to pet owners inflicted with the sniffles. “ Even if [you’re] not sick … it’s important to wash your hands because you could be carrying germs in from the great outdoors and not even know it,” she said."

Wendy Mead Aug 12, 201589SHARESPresident Franklin Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law on August 14, 1935. From the Great Depression to World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt guided the United States through challenging times. He sought to help the American people in many different ways, including creating social safety nets for the elderly and the unemployed. In 1935, FDR signed the Social Security Act to provide aid to the country's most senior citizens and others in need. FDR considered the Social Security Act to be one of his greatest accomplishments. In a 1934 speech to Congress, he said that \"\"I place the security of the men, women and children of the Nation first.\"\" FDR believed that the American people deserved \"\"some safeguard against misfortunes which cannot be wholly eliminated in this man-made world of ours.\"\" He accomplished this goal with the creation of Social Security."

A Democrat, he won a record four presidential elections and became a central figure in world events during the mid-20th century. Roosevelt directed the United States federal government during most of the Great Depression, implementing his New Deal domestic agenda in response to the worst economic crisis in U. S. history. As a dominant leader of his party, he built the New Deal Coalition, realigning American politics into the Fifth Party System and defining American liberalism throughout the middle third of the 20th century. His third and fourth terms were dominated by World War II. He is often rated by scholars as one of the three greatest U. S. Presidents, along with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Roosevelt was born in Hyde Park, New York, to a family made well known by Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States. FDR attended Groton School, Harvard College, and Columbia Law School, going on to practice law in New York City."

"text": "By Brandon Rottinghaus and Justin Vaughn February 16, 2015 (Mike Stewart/Associated Press)Although it has been celebrated officially since 1879, Presidents’ Day serves essentially two purposes: a patriotic excuse for retail discounts and an irresistible occasion to engage in armchair analysis of the nation’s presidents. To add some systematic evidence to the perennial conversation, in 2014 we surveyed 162 members of the American Political Science Association’s Presidents & Executive Politics section and asked them to rate the U. S. presidents. Here is what we found. The most highly ranked presidents contained many of the usual suspects. Abraham Lincoln was rated the greatest president, with an average score of 95 out of 100, followed by George Washington and Franklin D. Roosevelt. The rest in the top 10 were Teddy Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson, Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Bill Clinton, Andrew Jackson and Woodrow Wilson. Those presidents with a score of more than 50 are graphed below. Graph by Brandon Rottinghaus This list is similar to past lists, except that both Clinton and Eisenhower crack the top 10. We also asked respondents which president should be added to Mount Rushmore, and Franklin Roosevelt was the overwhelming favorite. Almost two-thirds of respondents chose him."

Roosevelt. Critics have questioned not only his policies and positions, but also charged him with centralizing power in his own hands by controlling both the government and the Democratic Party. Many denounced his breaking the no-third-term tradition in 1940. [ 1]By the middle of his second term, much criticism of Roosevelt centered on fears that he was heading toward a dictatorship by attempting to seize control of the Supreme Court in the Court-packing incident of 1937, attempting to eliminate dissent within the Democratic Party in the South during the 1938 mid-term elections and by breaking the tradition established by George Washington of not seeking a third term when he again ran for re-election in 1940. As two historians explain: \"\"In 1940, with the two-term issue as a weapon, anti-New Dealers [...] argued that the time had come to disarm the \"\"dictator\"\" and to dismantle the machinery\"\".

He was the eldest son of President Theodore Roosevelt and First Lady Edith Roosevelt. Roosevelt is known for his World War II service, including the directing of troops at Utah Beach during the Normandy landings, for which he received the Medal of Honor. Roosevelt was educated at private academies and Harvard University; after his 1909 graduation from college, he began a successful career in business and investment banking. Having gained pre- World War I army experience during his attendance at a Citizens' Military Training Camp, at the start of the war he received a reserve commission as a major. He served primarily with the 1st Division, took part in several engagements including the Battle of Cantigny, and commanded the 26th Infantry Regiment as a lieutenant colonel. After the war, Roosevelt was instrumental in the forming of the American Legion. In addition to his military and business careers, Roosevelt was active in politics and government. He served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy (1921–1924), Governor of Puerto Rico (1929–1932), and Governor-General of the Philippines (1932–1933).

That's what it was all about. There were more opportunities in the Democratic party for someone of his last name and star power. The 'Roosevelt brand' at the turn of the century was all about Republican politics. The opportunities for another Roosevelt were there in the Republican party but it would all be sort of a 'so what' when he ran as a Democrat in GOP district - that gave him pull in the party. And he moved up the ranks fast. From an obscure State Senator in 1911, to Assistant Navy Secretary in 1913, to Vice Presidential Candidate of the party less than a decade after his first election. It was also the relevant party in the state that Franklin Roosevelt lived in at the time. While in TR's time, the GOP owned New York State politics, by 1910, the Democratic Party was resurgent. Indeed 1910-1942 was a period of mostly Democratic domination of New York politics with only 8 years of GOP governors in control during that time."

The first recorded spelling was rendered Frankelein dating back to the late 12th century when the feudal system was alive and well in medieval Europe. This particular surname identified a “free man” or holder of land as opposed to the laborers who worked the land. They were gentlemen of society but ranked below the nobility. Probably the most notable surname bearer was American statesman and man of many talents, Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), whose father had immigrated to Boston from England in the 1680s. Adding additional currency to the name was Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945), 32nd President of the United States. Popularity of the Name Franklin Given the current trendiness of surnames as first names, we were surprised to see that Franklin has actually been on the decline. From the late 19th century through the mid-20th century, Franklin was always a moderately popular choice. Not surprisingly, the height of the name’s usage came in the 1930s and early 40s as Franklin D. Roosevelt decisively guided this nation through its greatest economic crisis only to be followed by World War II. Winston Churchill said of FDR: “Meeting Franklin Roosevelt was like opening your first bottle of champagne; knowing him was like drinking it.”"

A Democrat, he won a record four presidential elections and became a central figure in world events during the mid-20th century. Roosevelt directed the United States federal government during most of the Great Depression, implementing his New Deal domestic agenda in response to the worst economic crisis in U. S. history. As a dominant leader of his party, he built the New Deal Coalition, realigning American politics into the Fifth Party System and defining American liberalism throughout the middle third of the 20th century. His third and fourth terms were dominated by World War II. He is often rated by scholars as one of the three greatest U. S. Presidents, along with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Roosevelt was born in Hyde Park, New York, to a family made well known by Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States. FDR attended Groton School, Harvard College, and Columbia Law School, going on to practice law in New York City."

FDR needed the support of labor, and labor needed the support of the national government. Francis Perkins, the first women cabinet member, was appointed as Secretary of Labor and she successfully promoted many elements that became part of the New Deal and helpful to labor. She and FDR urged the passage of the National Labor Relations (Wagner) Act which increased the rights of unions and created the National Labor Relations Board. The Taft-Hartley Labor Act was amended to enlarge the powers of the NLRB and allowed the government to intervene in strikes affecting the nation's safety or health. The NRA set minimum wages and maximum hours. It did away with child labor, something organized labor favored, and established the right of workers to organize. This allowed for collective bargaining."

In the event a tenant sues for injuries suffered on the property, are there insurance policies which cover landlords? Yes. Just as there are insurance policies which compensate landlords for damage or loss due to fire, flooding, earthquakes, and burglary, among other things, there is insurance which that can purchased to cover damages from tenant injuries. While they are not cheap, comprehensive general liability policies are often necessary, particularly for owners are multiple unit properties.

Property owners may be liable to the tenants and guests for injuries if they fail to keep their premises safe for them. Injuries can be caused by some defective conditions of the rental property, environmental hazards or criminal activity. If you are an owner of the property that you rent or lease out to tenants, you need insurance on your property which will protect you from risk of having to rebuild your premises and paying excessive costs in case something goes wrong. The common causes of damage to buildings are fire, smoke, hail, airline or automobile impact. Landlord Liability Insurance can protect property owners against these hazards. Landlords Insurance can be referred to a wide range of coverage from Landlords Buildings to Landlords Contents and Property Owners Liability. Since the risks associated with let properties differ from the risks associated with owner occupied properties, it is necessary to consult with an insurer who specializes in this type of Property Insurance. The fact is that a Standard, Buildings or Contents Insurance policy on a property will not provide coverage for the property or contents when you start letting it. You will need a Building Insurance policy for landlords properties (buy to let building insurance)."

"text": "\"Outline - Landlords' And Tenants' Responsibilities For Habitability And Repairs: Legal Guide LT-8Printer Friendly Version May 2012General Rule: When a landlord (property owner) rents an apartment or a house to a tenant (renter), the rented property must be fit to live in. In other words, the rented property must be \"\"habitable.\"\" During the time that the property is being rented, the landlord must do maintenance work and make repairs which are necessary to keep it habitable. However, a landlord is not responsible for repairing damage caused by the tenant, or the tenant's guests, children or pets. Landlord's Responsibilities California Civil Code section 1941 states that when a landlord rents property to a tenant as a place to live, the property must be in a \"\"habitable\"\" condition. (\"\" Habitable\"\" means fit to live in; \"\" un inhabitable\"\" means not fit to live in.) Section 1941 also states that the landlord must repair problems that make the property uninhabitable – except for problems caused by the tenant or the tenant's guests, children or pets. In order for the property to be habitable, it must have all of the following:a) Effective waterproofing and weather protection of roof and exterior walls, including unbroken windows and doors.b) Plumbing facilities in good working order, including hot and cold running water, connected to a sewage disposal system.c) Gas facilities in good working order.d) Heating facilities in good working order.e) An electrical system, including lighting, wiring and equipment, in good working order.f) Clean and sanitary buildings, grounds and appurtenances (for example, a garden or a detached garage) which are free from debris, filth, rubbish, garbage, rodents and vermin.g) Adequate trash receptacles in good repair.h) Floors, stairways and railings in good repair. In addition, the rented property must have all of the following:i) A working toilet, wash basin, and bathtub or shower. The toilet and bathtub/shower must be in a room that is ventilated, and that allows for privacy.j) A kitchen with a sink, which cannot be made of an absorbent material (for example, wood).k) Natural lighting in every room through windows or skylights."

The answer to this question is “no” but there is a further question that requires asking namely must the landlord “pay” for alternative accommodation? This is a totally different question but first let’s consider the duty to re-house. Duty to provide alternative accommodation As discussed above, there is no rule, act of Parliament or case law which provides in the event of a property rendered uninhabitable by some disaster that the landlord must start ringing round accommodation providers or hotels, arranging alternative accommodation and providing the details or keys to the tenant. It is submitted this is the case even if the landlord was at fault and somehow caused the fire. However, the local authority does have such a duty.

Disclaimer A tenant who occupies rental property with the landlord`s consent and makes rent payments without a written lease is called a tenantatwill. Georgia landlordtenant law, including eviction laws and security deposits laws, still applies. A tenantatwill has the right to occupy and use the rented premises subject to any restrictions upon which the landlord and the tenant have agreed. Because there is not a written lease, Georgia law regulates the type of notice which a tenantatwill and the landlord of the tenantatwill must give to terminate or change the original rental agreement. A tenant must give thirty (30) days notice to the landlord to terminate or change the original agreement. A landlord who has a tenantatwill must give sixty (60) days notice to the tenant before seeking to terminate the agreement or change any term of the original agreement. This means the landlord must give a tenantatwill sixty (60) days notice before imposing a rent increase. To protect your legal rights any and all notices should be in writing. When a tenantatwill fails to pay rent the landlord is not required to give the sixty days notice before terminating the tenancy."

"text": "\"The actions taken in the initial minutes of an emergency are critical. A prompt warning to employees to evacuate, shelter or lockdown can save lives. A call for help to public emergency services that provides full and accurate information will help the dispatcher send the right responders and equipment. An employee trained to administer first aid or perform CPR can be lifesaving. Action by employees with knowledge of building and process systems can help control a leak and minimize damage to the facility and the environment. The first step when developing an emergency response plan is to conduct a risk assessment to identify potential emergency scenarios. An understanding of what can happen will enable you to determine resource requirements and to develop plans and procedures to prepare your business. The emergency plan should be consistent with your performance objectives. At the very least, every facility should develop and implement an emergency plan for protecting employees, visitors, contractors and anyone else in the facility. This part of the emergency plan is called “protective actions for life safety” and includes building evacuation (“fire drills”), sheltering from severe weather such as tornadoes, “shelter-in-place” from an exterior airborne hazard such as a chemical release and lockdown."

If the tenant has admitted that his/her actions caused the fire, then take good notes of what he/she said (ideally, he/she made a statement admitting fault, and did so in front of not just you, but some other third person as well, who could then be a witness to the tenant's admission). Any such statements could be vital if this matter became the subject of litigation and/or an insurance claim. If the tenant has renter's insurance, then he/she should certainly make a claim under that renter's policy."

"text": "Tenant’s Right of Privacy and Landlord’s Right of Accessby Free Advice staff In every state, a landlord may enter rented premises without notice to the tenant if there is an emergency such as a fire, gas leak, or severe water leak. When a Landlord May Enter Tenants may give landlords permission to enter at any time. If a landlord has not received specific permission from the tenant to enter, most states require the landlord to give the tenant notice of an intention to enter for a valid purpose, such as to make a repair, assess the need for repair, or show the unit to a prospective buyer or renter. The landlord cannot enter simply to inspect how the tenant is using the premises. Before entering, the landlord must give 24–48 hours advance notice; and in some states the landlord may only enter during ordinary business hours. This is usually understood to be the time period from 8 AM to 5 PM. If the tenant refuses the landlord’s request, the landlord can enter without permission at a reasonable time. In deciding if a time was reasonable, a court will consider how much the landlord was interfering with the tenant’s privacy or use of the unit. The time of day when a landlord can enter is defined by state law and need not appear in the lease or rental agreement. Landlords may also enter rented premises that have been abandoned by the tenants, and some states allow landlords to enter to check on premises during an extended absence of the tenant, sometimes defined in the state law as seven days or longer."

Apartment Regulations on Heat & Temperature Most Common Problems in Installing a Window Air Conditioner Air conditioners can make apartment living bearable, especially in hot climates or during the summer. Whether an apartment can have an air conditioner depends on a variety of factors, such as local ordinances, the apartment lease agreement and the landlord. Before a tenant decides to rent an apartment with or without air conditioning, it's a good idea to become familiar with some of the landlord/tenant laws concerning installation and maintenance of air conditioners. Air Conditioners Not Required While some people may consider air conditioners a necessary item, California law considers them amenities. In other words, air conditioners are not required in rental properties to make them habitable. According to California Civil Code 1941, habitable rental units must have working gas, heat, electric and plumbing systems; sanitary conditions with adequate trash receptacles; working sink, toilet and tub or shower; fire and emergency exits; working smoke detectors and deadbolt locks on all outside doors. Air conditioning is not on the list of features that landlords must provide with an apartment, so tenants cannot force a landlord to put in an air conditioner. Air Conditioner Installation Tenants cannot install an air conditioner in an apartment without written permission from the landlord. Most apartment leases will not allow tenants to make changes or improvements to the rental unit without the landlord's consent."

"text": "Tent Caterpillars: Are They Dangerous? May 20, 2011A reader recently wrote to us inquiring about the possible health threat that tent caterpillars (sometimes called “tent worms” because, well, caterpillars look like worms) may present to children. The reader is worried that a child’s habit of playing with tent caterpillars (or perhaps just a single tent caterpillar) is dangerous. In this article, we’ll cover the potential dangerous of tent caterpillars, first addressing the topic with regard to humans, and then with regard to animals and plants. Given that playing with caterpillars is a great amusement (er, for children, that is), we are happy to report that playing with tent caterpillars is not very dangerous, as they are generally not poisonous (at least not to humans). However, tent worms do have small hairs on their bodies that can be irritating to people and animals. If a child is experiencing irritation, most likely on the skin, this may be due to him or her playing with tent caterpillars. Tent caterpillars can also cause problems beyond mere skin irritation in animals. For example, a large number of mares in Kentucky were being afflicted by a phenomenon known as Mare Reproductive Loss Syndrome, which causes pregnancy failures in female horses, and this was attributed to an outbreak of tent caterpillars. As we have seen, tent caterpillars aren’t very harmful to humans, and only in rare instances do they negatively affect animals."

In 1897 the caterpillars came out in such numbers they destroyed everything. I did not take any special pains to get rid of them until after they had eaten up everything. We had no fruit that year, and we have had none in 1898. While feeding, the caterpillars would devour leaves, fruit, buds and all. In 1896 only one small tree was attacked the next year they attacked the cherry, elm, pear and apple trees. They came into the house; the walks and fences were also covered with them. For three or four days I went out every morning and swept them off the planks. Last winter I cut off all the tents, so that we did not have any this year."

Pesticides can create more problems than they solve. Spraying garden chemicals to get rid of bugs and weeds not only cause health risks, they often aren’t even that effective. Initially, they will kill off a lot of pests, but eventually these pests can develop resistance to the pesticide and come back even stronger. Another problem is the side effects many synthetic pesticides can have on unintended targets (think of DDT and birds). The best plan is to avoid the need to use pest control in the first place by starting with healthy fertile soil, matching your plants to the soil type, ensuring proper sunlight levels and watering conditions, and using appropriate organic fertilization and pruning, when necessary. But, if that doesn’t work there are many alternatives to chemical pesticides that can reduce pests while leaving a healthy environment for your plants, pets and family.

However, it is the responsibility of the applicator to determine the appropriateness, correct timing, and safety requirements of a chemical application. We encourage applicators to manage pests using integrated pest management (IPM) techniques. Before spraying pesticides, use economical and effective nonchemical methods such as cultural, mechanical, and biological control. Important goals in IPM are to properly time pesticide application to the vulnerable stage of the pest, use biorational pesticides that conserve beneficial insects, and minimize plant damage. Integrated pest management utilizes insect identification, knowledge of the pest insect's life cycle, monitoring techniques, timing insecticide application to the pest's most vulnerable stage, choosing the most appropriate pesticide, and monitoring after application. Information on application times and dates are based on an average season; adjust timing of treatments when an early or late season is encountered. Seasonal dates apply to central Minnesota, including the Twin Cities. Expect pests approximately 7 days earlier for southern Minnesota and approximately 7–10 days later for northern Minnesota. It is the responsibility of the applicator to ensure the target pest is present before applying pesticides."

"text": "\"Elm (Ulmus)Plant Health Problems Diseases caused by Fungi: Dutch elm disease, Ophiostoma novo-ulmi. This disease has important historical significance, especially here in Connecticut. The causal fungus is carried in the mouth and on the bodies of the elm bark beetle, and trees are inoculated during feeding in the early spring. In August, wilting and dying of leaves on small to large branches (referred to as flagging) may be seen in the canopy and reddish-brown streaks are occasionally found in the sapwood. The fungus proceeds through the vascular system of the tree and can kill a large tree in three or four years. For control of the disease, the best course is to control the elm bark beetles (see below). Branches with symptoms should be pruned 10 feet below symptoms in order to prevent spread of the fungus in the tree. dead trees should be promptly removed from areas with living elms, as beetles carrying the fungus may emerge from galleries in the dead bark in the spring. A number of new cultivars are available with some resistance to this pathogen. In the past, injection of the trunk with fungicide was recommended, but the wounds produced by injection are often invaded by other pathogens causing more damage."

Insects that appear to be worms infesting trees are often the immature offspring of moths, beetles or borers. Some wormlike larvae weave large webs while others may suddenly seem to rappel from the foliage on long strands of silk. Caterpillars Several varieties of moths lay eggs in outdoor trees, which hatch into caterpillars that feed on the tree's foliage and tender, new growth. Caterpillars vary in length and width, but may be colorful.

Tussock moth larvae are hairy, distinguishing them from other species. Codling moth larvae look like pink worms and may be found feeding inside some fruits.

In fact, the appearance, food habits, and other characteristics of these three species are so different it is hard to believe they belong to the same family. However, ornithologists (or-na-THAL-ah-jists), people who study birds, consider more than just outward appearances when they group birds. They recognize that despite their many differences, these birds also have many characteristics in common. All of them are slender birds with rounded wings, curved bills, and long floppy tails. Their tail feathers also are graduated in size, with the shortest ones on the outer edges, and the males and females within each species look alike. Another family trait can be seen in the tracks, which look like X's. This strange track, which makes it hard to tell whether the birds are coming or going, occurs because their feet have two toes pointing forward and two pointing back. This arrangement enables them to climb and grasp. The roadrunner's running speed has been clocked at about fifteen miles per hour."

Fall webworm outbreaks occur every year in our area and are most noticeable in late summer and fall. The good news is fall webworms rarely cause serious damage and in most cases there is no reason to do anything about them. Where Do They Come From? Fall webworms are native to much of North America and are one of the few insect pests that has been introduced from our continent to other parts of the world. The caterpillars that are currently feeding on trees in our area hatched from eggs laid by adult fall webworm moths, which are snow white and approximately 1 ½” long.

During the winter months, when plants and trees are dormant, we see the recommendation to spray dormant oil or horticultural oil to control insects on everything from fruit trees to lilacs. But what kind of oil is it that we are being told to spray? What Is The Difference Between Horticultural Oil and Dormant Oil? The main difference between many of the newer commercial horticultural oils is that they are more highly refined than past dormant oil products and they can be used year-round. Most commercially available horticultural oils (i.e. Sunspray, Scalecide, Volck) are refined from petroleum oil with the impurities filtered out. The final oil is then combined with an emulsifying agent that allows the oil to mix with water so they can be sprayed. A true dormant oil originally referred to heavier weight, less well-refined oils that were unsafe to use on plants after they broke dormancy because they would burn and kill plant foliage. These older dormant oils, however, have been replaced with more refined, light-weight oils that can be applied to plant foliage year-round without damage. Dormant oil now refers to the time of application rather than to any characteristic type of oil."

Fowler's Toad (above left) is told from the American Toad by the presence of 3 or more \"\"warts\"\" within each large black spot (The American Toad has but one or two per black spot). The two toads hybridize, and I think the toad in the photo above right might be such a hybrid. The Gray Treefrog (below) is not a toad, although it has a warty skin. It is actually a treefrog; its toepads give this relationship away. The underside of the hind thighs are bright yellow; this is warning coloration to warn a predator that the frog's skin is poisonous."

Depending on the magnolia species, these trees and shrubs grow in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 to 9. Magnolias are susceptible to various problems, but with the proper care and prevention you can keep them at bay. Pests Several species of common pests -- such as scales, aphids, thrips and caterpillars -- can attack the magnolia causing various degrees of damage, but they generally won’t threaten the magnolia’s life. Scales, aphids and thrips feed on the cell content of plants causing wilted and discolored leaves that may die and fall off the tree prematurely. Most of these pests can be controlled by introducing predatory insects near the magnolia to feed on the pests. For example, ladybugs, parasitic wasps and lacewings are natural enemies of scales, thrips and aphids. Leaf eating caterpillars are a food source for birds so increasing the amount of your feathered friends that visit the area with birdhouses will keep the caterpillars under control. For large infestations of scales, thrips and aphids, applying neem oil or horticultural oil to the magnolia will control the pests."

Distributed throughout much of the United States and Canada, these caterpillars multiply rapidly and can defoliate a large number of deciduous trees and shrubs in a short time. They are often seen on roadside trees and in neglected orchards. Besides defoliation the larvae produce large unsightly webs, or tents, in the crotches of tree branches. These webs are used to protect the caterpillars from predators and the elements. Although tent damage is unsightly, infestations rarely threaten the lives of trees. Four species are commonly discussed: Identification Eastern Tent Caterpillar ( Malacosoma americanum) – Found east of the Rockies and north into southern Canada. Full grown caterpillars (2 inches long) are sparsely hairy and black in color with a row of pale blue spots on each side. They have a white stripe down the center of their backs that makes them easy to identify. Adults (1-1/2 inches long) are reddish brown moths with two white bands running diagonally across each forewing."

They don't cause a health risk to humans, but the presence of hundreds or thousands of caterpillars can be a real headache. Fortunately, the nuisance associated with FTC outbreaks can be reduced by individual homeowners. The effect of FTC defoliation on shade trees, ornamental plantings and gardens is also important consideration for the homeowner. Nuisance Homeowners may want to adopt two basic strategies. First, identify the trees or buildings that you want to protect. Then work to protect the things you selected and ignore the rest (or at least try to). It takes a lot of time and energy to try to protect everything on your property. Second, be persistent."

Hardiness zones 5 to 9 are the best climates for growing pecans. The trees will be quite large at maturity, easily reaching 100 feet in height and a branch spread of 50 feet or more. It’s not a tree that you can easily grow in a small yard. Like walnuts, pecans are messy trees. Through the year they will drop male flowers and sap everywhere. So if you don’t mind the mess, the trees will produce a wonderful harvest of buttery tasting nuts with easy-to-crack shells. Starting Your Tree Select a sunny location with excellent drainage. Pecans will not thrive if their roots sit in water too often. Don’t plant your trees in any low-lying areas."

Thanks!Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Rain will weeken any pestiside if it rains day of application. If that happens you will have to re apply. But it is ok to apply a few hours after rain because alot of bugs come out after a rain. But for best results I'd say apply when you have at least two days or more of dry weather to give the best chance of the pestiside to work and not be washed away or deluted by rain.

"text": "\"This section applies to current, former and retired employees. Note Premiums you pay for employees' group life insurance that is not group term insurance or optional dependent life insurance are also a taxable benefit. A group term life insurance policy is one for which the only amounts payable by the insurer are policy dividends, experience rating refunds, and amounts payable on the death or disability of an employee, former employee, retired employee, or their covered dependants. Note Beginning in 2018, employers who pay Group Term Life Insurance premiums on behalf of retirees, when it’s the only income reported on the T4A slip, are only required to report the premium if the amount is greater than $50. Term insurance is any life insurance under a group term life insurance policy other than insurance for which a lump-sum premium has become payable or has been paid. Life insurance for current employees would usually be term insurance, although it is sometimes provided for retired employees. A lump-sum premium is a premium for insurance on an individual's life where all or part of the premium is for insurance for a period that extends more than 13 months after the payment of the premium (or more than 13 months after the time the premium became payable, if it is paid after it became payable). Calculating the benefit If the premiums are paid regularly and the premium rate for each individual does not depend on age or gender, the benefit is:the premiums payable for term insurance on the individual's lifeplusthe total of all sales taxes and excise taxes, excluding GST/HST that apply to the individual's insurance coverageany provincial insurance levies or sales tax (8% for Ontario and Manitoba, 9% for Quebec, and 6% for Saskatchewan) that employers have to pay on some insurance premiumsminusthe premiums and any taxes the employee paid either directly or through reimbursements to you In any other situation, a detailed calculation is required.

"text": "\"Editor's Note: This Technical Report is currently being revised. A news alert will be issued when the revised edition is published. A charitable remainder trust is a trust that provides for a specified distribution, at least annually, to one or more beneficiaries, at least one of which is not a charity. The distribution must be paid at least annually for life or for a term of years, with an irrevocable remainder interest to be held for the benefit of, or paid over to, one or more qualified charities. The specified distribution must be either a sum certain, which is not less than five percent and not more than fifty percent of the initial net fair market value of all property placed in trust (a charitable remainder annuity trust), or a fixed percentage, which is not less than five percent and not more than fifty percent, of the net fair market value of the trust assets, valued annually (a charitable remainder unitrust). Technical Overview Charitable Contribution Deduction Gift and Estate Tax Considerations Operational Considerations Investment Considerations Cash Flow Planning Technical Overview Qualification as a Charitable Remainder Trust In order to qualify as a charitable remainder trust, the trust must meet all of the requirements set forth in IRC §664, the regulations promulgated thereunder, Revenue Rulings, and Procedures. 1In Rev. Proc. 91-3 and subsequent rulings the IRS announced that it will no longer issue advance rulings regarding whether a transfer to a charitable remainder trust described in section 664 of the Code that provides for annuity or unitrust payments for one or two measuring lives qualifies for a charitable income, gift or estate tax deductions under sections 170 (f) (2) (A), 2522 (c) (2) (A) or 2055 (e) (2) (A). The Service will, however, continue to rule regarding provisions that deviate from those found in the sample documents published in the Revenue Procedures. 2Caution: A trust that does not contain a required governing provision or otherwise fails to qualify as a charitable remainder trust will cause the loss of the trustor's income tax deduction, will cause all transactions within the trust to be taxable, and may also subject the transfer to gift tax even though made to charity."

This increase changes the calculation of any deduction or credit limited by AGI -if an additional dollar of AGI triggers a decrease in one or more deductions/credits, the tax cost of such dollar will be greater than the apparent marginal rate would suggest Elusive Tax Rate the inverse relationship between AGI and certain deductions and credits can cause a hidden surtax not reflected by the apparent statutory rate Marginal Rate on Child's Unearned Income for any child under the age of 18, tax law states that the child's unearned (investment) income in excess of an inflation-adjusted base amount ($1,900) is taxed at the parents marginal rate -commonly described as the kiddie tax Child Credit -individuals can claim a $1000 child credit for a dependent who is a qualifying child under age 17 at the close of the year -credit phases out for high income taxpayers Dependent Care Credit -individuals with one or more dependents who are either under 13 or physically or mentally incapable of caring for themselves may be eligible for a dependent care credit -based on the cost of care for these dependents -provide tax relief to people who must incur costs to be gainfully employed (nanny, daycare) -limited to $3,000 for 1 dependent and $6,000 for 2 or more Earned Income Credit -enacted by Congress in 1975 to offset the burden of the payroll tax on low-income workers and to encourage individuals to seek employment rather than to depend on welfare -based on a % of the individual's earned income -refundable: taxpayers may receive a refund of the credit that exceeds pre-credit income tax -23 million families qualify for credit Making Work Pay Credit (2009 & 2010) -equals the lesser of 6.2% of an individual's earned income or $400 ($800 jointly) -equivalent to a refund of SS tax on the first $6,452 of earned income -represented a stimulus payment from the federal government to every low and middle-income worker -phased out for high income earners AMT Trap the original purpose of the individual AMT was to guarantee that high-income taxpayers who dramatically reduced their regular tax by overindulging in tax preferences would still pay a fair share of income tax -more middle-income taxpayers now pay because regular tax rates are adjusted for inflation, but AMT rates are not -has evolved into a broad-based tax, the narrowing spread between regular and AMT rates can trigger an AMT even for an individual with no AMT adjustments or preferences for the year Estimated Tax Payments -tax on non-compensation items such as net profit from a sole proprietorship or investment income must be p"

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

This is completely different from the word 'annuity' used in finance or math or the time-value-of-money equations for 'Present Value of an Annuity' or 'Future Value of an Annuity' . That use of the term refers to a stream of equal payments as well, but there is no transfer of value between population cohorts. That is a concept, not a product. If you find something called an 'annuity calculator' on the web, chances are it is a TVM calculator with nothing at all to do with annuity products."

"text": "NOTE: This guide is current through the publication date. Since changes may have occurred after the publication date that would affect the accuracy of this document, no guarantees are made concerning the technical accuracy after the publication date. Issue Description Corporate executives often receive extraordinary fringe benefits that are not provided to other corporate employees. Any property or service that an executive receives in lieu of or in addition to regular taxable wages is a fringe benefit that may be subject to taxation. In 1984, the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) was amended to include the term “fringe benefits” i n the definition of gross income found in §61. A fringe benefit provided in connection with the performance of services, regardless of its form, must be treated as compensation includible in income under §61. Whether a particular fringe benefit is taxable depends on whether there is a specific statutory exclusion that applies to the benefit. For example, when §61 was amended to include the term “fringe benefits”, §132 was added to provide exclusions for certain commonly provided fringe benefits that had previously not been addressed in the Code. Section 132 provides exclusions for working condition fringes, deminimis fringes, noadditional cost services, qualified employee discounts, qualified moving expenses, qualified transportation fringes, and qualified retirement planning services. Although it is clear that fringe benefits are taxable, employers may not treat them as wages for income and employment tax purposes."

"text": "Identifying and Reporting Employee Fringe Benefits Payment Processing Article12/23/2013What are fringe benefits? Fringe benefits are a form of pay, often from employers to employees, and considered compensation for services beyond the employee's normal rate of pay. They can be made in the form of property, services, cash, or cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are things that can be turned into cash fairly quickly, such as savings bonds. Generally, fringe benefits are taxable to the employee, must be included as supplemental income on the employee's W-2, and are subject to withholding and employment taxes. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provides guidance on fringe benefits in a publication titled, Employer's Tax Guide to Fringe Benefits For use in 2013. It’s important for employers to distinguish between taxable fringe benefits and nontaxable fringe benefits so they can understand how they are valued and report them properly. Examples of taxable fringe benefits Bonuses Vacation, athletic club membership, or health resort expenses Value of the personal use of an employer-provided vehicle Amounts paid to employees for moving expenses in excess of actual expenses Business frequent-flyer miles converted to cash Group term life insurance provided to employees in excess of $50,000Examples of fringe benefits excluded from gross income Employer-provided spending accounts such as medical flexible spending accounts and dependent care accounts Payments made on employees' behalf for public transportation to and from work and parking while at work Up to $5,000 paid by the employer for child- or dependent-care services Group term life insurance provided to employees, up to $50,000No-additional-cost services such as complimentary flights for airline employees Employee discounts Working condition fringe benefits such as the use of company vehicles Tuition reduction De minimis fringe benefits such as employee use of office equipment, holiday gifts, parties or picnics, and entertainment events. In this category the value of the property should be considered minimal Athletic facilities primarily used by employees, if located at the place of employment Retirement planning services Adoption assistance program Use of business frequent flyer miles for personal travel Moving expense reimbursements for actual costs paid or incurred Valuing fringe benefits The general rule for placing a value on a fringe benefit is to use the fair market value of the benefit given. In many cases, the fair market value and the cost of the item are the same."

In the following FAQs, we answer questions most often asked by employers regarding fringe benefits, often considered compensation beyond the employee's normal wages. What are Fringe Benefits? Fringe benefits for employees can take the form of property, services, cash, or some cash equivalent (something that can be turned into cash, such as a gift card or savings bonds). Generally speaking, fringe benefits are taxable to the employee and must be included as supplemental income on the employee's W-2 form. These fringe benefits are also generally subject to withholding and employment taxes. What are the Potential Advantages of Offering Fringe Benefits to Employees? For many small businesses, offering fringe benefits may be a way to differentiate themselves from the competition and to attract and retain new employees. At the same time, employers who choose to offer such benefits need to be aware of federal (and state if applicable) income tax withholding requirements. These benefits are considered taxable income unless specifically excluded by current tax laws."

In tax terms, some income is called ‘taxable’ – you have to pay tax on it, and some is ‘non taxable’, ‘not taxable’, ‘exempt’ or ‘tax free’ – you do not have to pay tax on it. If you have income that is not taxable, you do not normally need to tell HM Revenue & Customs (‘HMRC’) about it. It is not always easy to know if a certain type of income is taxable or not. We list the most common types of taxable income and tax free income to help you. As the tax rules are complex, it has not been possible to include all types of income on this page.

Earned income Wages and salaries, including holiday pay, bonuses and tips Profits from self-employment Pensions from occupational pensions, private pensions, personal pension plans or retirement annuity policies Foreign pensions - 100% (90% up to 2016/17) and lump sums paid under overseas pension schemes in certain circumstances One off payments from pension funds Benefits in kind, which might also be called ‘perks’ of your job.

There are no tax consequences if the total amount of such policies does not exceed $50,000. The imputed cost of coverage in excess of $50,000 must be included in income, using the IRS Premium Table, and are subject to social security and Medicare taxes. Carried Directly or Indirectly by the Employer A taxable fringe benefit arises if coverage exceeds $50,000 and the policy is considered carried directly or indirectly by the employer. A policy is considered carried directly or indirectly by the employer if: The employer pays any cost of the life insurance, or The employer arranges for the premium payments and the premiums paid by at least one employee subsidize those paid by at least one other employee (the “straddle” rule). The determination of whether the premium charges straddle the costs is based on the IRS Premium Table rates, not the actual cost. You can view the Premium Table in the group-term life insurance discussion in Publication 15-B. Because the employer is affecting the premium cost through its subsidizing and/or redistributing role, there is a benefit to employees. This benefit is taxable even if the employees are paying the full cost they are charged. You must calculate the taxable portion of the premiums for coverage that exceeds $50,000. Not Carried Directly or Indirectly by the Employer A policy that is not considered carried directly or indirectly by the employer has no tax consequences to the employee."

These actions give rise to a host of legal obligations and potential pitfalls, including obligations to give advance notice to workers who may be affected under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“Federal WARN Act”). Workers who claim that they did not receive the legally mandated advance notice of a reduction can sue for lost wages, benefits and various penalties, as illustrated by a recent putative class action filed against Lehman Brothers under the Federal WARN Act. Under certain circumstances, lenders of entities in bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings may also assume liability for a debtor’s non-compliance with such notice requirements. Many large employers are already familiar with the notice requirements under the Federal WARN Act. Early next year, however, employers in New York will have to comply not only with the Federal WARN Act but also with the recently enacted New York State Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“NY WARN Act”). The NY WARN Act, which was signed into law by Governor Paterson on Aug. 5, 2008 and which will become effective on Feb. 1, 2009 as Article 25-A to the New York Labor Law, is broader than the Federal WARN Act in several important respects. It is therefore critical that New York employers become familiar with their expanded obligations under the new state law. Broader Coverage Of The NY WARN Act The NY WARN Act is broader than the Federal WARN Act in several significant ways. First, the NY WARN Act covers a larger group of employers."

"text": "Related Articles1Six Main Functions of a Human Resource Department2Employee Rights After Termination3Employee Termination Types4Primary Responsibilities of a Human Resource Manager The human resources department oversees most aspects of an organization's employee relation responsibilities including recruitment, hiring and termination. The department makes sure the employer has complied with employment and labor laws in making the decision to fire an employee. It also ensures worker's rights are protected during the termination process. Interpretation of Employment Laws Several employment and labor laws prohibit employee termination on the basis of legally protected characteristics. The HR department interprets employment and labor laws to ensure the employer does not intentionally or unintentionally violate the worker's rights. Anti-discrimination laws such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the American's With Disabilities Act prohibit terminating an employee based on protected characteristics like gender, race, nationality, sexual orientation or disability. Human resource's role in the termination process is to review the reasons for the termination and ensure compliance with public policy and laws that prohibit discrimination. Reason for Termination Along with the worker's supervisor or manager, human resources is responsible for explaining to an employee the reason for the termination. If the worker is terminated for misconduct, harassment or other reasons, human resources explains why the employee's actions are in violation of company policies. Human resources also documents the employee's actions and responses to the termination."

Some users distinguish downsizing from a layoff , with downsizing intended to be a permanent downscaling and a layoff intended to be a temporary downscaling in which employees may later be rehired. Businesses use several techniques in downsizing, including providing incentives to take early retirement and transfer to subsidiary companies, but the most common technique is to simply terminate the employment of a certain number of people. Rightsizing is downsizing in the belief that an enterprise really should operate with fewer people. Dumbsizing is downsizing that, in retrospect, failed to achieve the desired effect.

WIOA was signed into law on July 22, 2014, and it represents the first major overhaul of the federal workforce system since the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998. WIOA seeks to improve services to both the job seeker and the employer; aligns programs, services, and data collection for adults, youth, dislocated workers, adult basic education participants, and vocational rehabilitation clients; and emphasizes use of career pathways and industry sector partnerships to promote employment for in-demand industries and occupations. WIOA State Plan WIOA requires states to submit a four-year workforce plan to the USDOL. Alaska submitted its original WIOA Plan on March 29, 2016, and a revised plan on September 1, 2016, which addressed clarifications requested by USDOL.

"text": "Introductory Guide to Hospice and Palliative Care Social Work By Kaitlin Louie Hospice and palliative care settings provide medical care, pain management services and treatments, as well as psychological, emotional, social, and spiritual support to patients across the age spectrum who are suffering from severely debilitating conditions or terminal diagnoses. Patients who require hospice care and their families can experience a number of severe hardships, such as depression, anger, and anxiety, intense physical pain or discomfort, financial strain, social isolation, and family conflict. Hospice social workers help both patients and their families navigate the difficult process of end-of-life planning; manage the mental, emotional, familial, and monetary stressors of debilitating physical illness; understand their treatment plan and be vocal about their needs; overcome crisis situations; and connect to other support services in the area. Hospice workers are advocates for patients and their families, and possess a deep knowledge of what their clients need and what resources are available within and outside of hospice settings to help them. Hospice and palliative services are delivered, not only at hospice centers, but also through in-home care services and palliative care departments of hospitals. Hospice and palliative care social workers can work in one or more of these settings; for instance, they might conduct home visits to help patients and their families with establishing effective palliative care in patients’ homes, while also providing services to visitors of hospice centers and following up with terminally ill patients who must visit the hospital for intensive medical care. Hospice and palliative care social work can be a challenging field, as it involves helping individuals through some of the most difficult and stressful times of their lives. However, the rewards of the field can include making deep connections with individuals, learning and celebrating their life stories, and having a dramatically positive impact on patients and their families. The Difference Between Hospice and Palliative Care While very much related, hospice and palliative care are distinct from each other in several key ways. Hospice care involves caring for patients who are suffering from an acute terminal illness that has progressed to the point that they have fewer than six months to live."

A Schedule Loss of Use award (known as an SLU) is an additional cash payment. It pays you for an injury that leaves you with less ability in a body part than you had before the injury. If you don’t get back the same level of use in the injured body part, because you now have a permanent disability, you may be eligible for an SLU payment. You can receive this money even if you never missed time from work or if you’ve already returned to work. WHO DESERVES A SCHEDULE LOSS OF USE AWARD?

"text": "Benefits Military Pay Allowances Dislocation Allowance Military.com The purpose of Dislocation Allowance (DLA) is to partially reimburse a servicemember, with or without dependents, for the expenses incurred in relocating the member's household on a PCS, housing moves ordered for the Government's convenience, or incident to an evacuation. This allowance is in addition to all other allowances and may be paid in advance. The amount varies by rank and family status. Normally you can receive DLA only one time per fiscal year. It is important to keep in mind that DLA is intended to partially reimburse relocation expenses not otherwise reimbursed and probably will not reimburse all of your relocation expenses. A member who has no dependents and who is assigned to government quarters (including a ship) at the new PCS location is not entitled to any DLA. National Guard and Reserve servicemembers coming on or leaving active duty are not eligible for DLA. The exception to this if you come on active duty for more than 20 weeks at one location and are authorized PCS allowances (not TDY allowances) and you move your dependents from your home to your new PDS or a designated place. You are also not authorized DLA on your separation or retirement from active duty service. Dislocation allowances change every year, the current rate information can be found on the Do D Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee website."

S. workers—and workers around the world—they do not amount to the dislocation of industry from the United States—or the abolition of the industrial working class globally. Capital is “freer” than before, but the ability to move production is exaggerated in order to foster protectionism and nationalism among workers—as part of the propaganda that accompanies the drive to constantly increase production—and to create a sense of powerlessness in the face of supposedly unstoppable economic forces. While there has been a relative decline in the size the manufacturing workforce in the advanced economies, in other nations such as China and South Korea the industrial proletariat has exploded in size. These are certainly shifts in production, but they are not shifts from the centrality of production. The many faces of the service sector The size of the manufacturing workforce has declined in the advanced economies of the North—relative to the growth of what are called “services.” According to the AFL-CIO, most of the top ten jobs projected to grow the most are in services. 66 In most of these occupations the average wage is under $10 an hour. However, the growth in services is not in opposition to industrial society but as a direct result of the needs of highly advanced—more productive—global lean production. Proponents of the idea that society is becoming post-industrial frequently cite the growth of services as a sign of the diminishing importance of industry. In purely empirical terms they are right—services as a percentage of total jobs have skyrocketed while manufacturing has declined."

Kight Bio email Shughart Thomson & Kilroy [ad/articles728.htm]The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (known appropriately as \"\"WARN\"\"), 29 U. S. C. 2101, was enacted by Congress in 1988 to provide employees with advance notice of a plant closing or mass layoff at their company. The WARN Act requires employers who are planning a plant closing or a mass layoff to give affected employees at least 60 days notice prior to any employment action. As the air escapes from the dot-com balloon and upstart internet companies fail, they face the same employee protections faced by the traditional brick-and-mortar businesses. Generally, when a company employing at least 100 people decides to shut-down, it would have an obligation to provide 60 days written notice to employees, the state dislocated worker unit, the chief elected official of the unit of local government where the lay-off is to occur, and any labor organization representing affected employees. However, there are some important exceptions to these obligations. Most notably , employers are only required to provide 60 days notice to its employees in cases where either a \"\" plant closing \"\" or a \"\" mass layoff \"\" occurs. The definition of a plant closing under WARN is fairly straight-forward. A plant closing under WARN means the permanent or temporary shut-down of a single site of employment, if such a shut down results in the loss of 50 or more employees during any 30-day period. 29 U. S. C. § 2101 (a) (2)."

The program is designed to encourage and enable unemployed workers to create their own jobs by starting their own small businesses. Under these programs, States can pay a SEA allowance, instead of regular unemployment insurance benefits, to help unemployed workers while they are establishing businesses and becoming self-employed. Participants receive weekly allowances while they are getting their businesses off the ground. This is a voluntary program for States and, to date, Delaware, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New York, and Oregon have active Self-Employment Assistance programs. The State Workforce Agency websites for these states can be accessed at http://www.servicelocator.org/OWSLinks.asp. Eligibility Generally, in order to receive these benefits, an individual must first be eligible to receive regular unemployment insurance under State law. Individuals who have been permanently laid off from their previous jobs and are identified (through a State's profiling system) as likely to exhaust regular unemployment benefits are eligible to participate in the program. Individuals may be eligible even if they are engaged full-time in self-employment activities - including entrepreneurial training, business counseling, and technical assistance. Benefits SEA allowances are the same weekly amounts as the worker's regular unemployment insurance benefits."

Layoff notice requirements are intended to protect employees, their families, and communities by giving employees a transition period in which they can adjust to losing their jobs, obtain other work, or pursue training for other work.

You’ll find answers to your FLSA compliance questions, plus detailed guidance to help you manage requirements and keep your costs under control during this transition. Although the basic idea behind the WARN Act is fairly straightforward, the law is filled with technical requirements which can trip up supervisors and HR specialists. In a nutshell, the WARN Act requires businesses that have at least 100 employees to give 60 days advance notice of any mass layoff or plant closing to affected employees, unions, and local and state governments. To determine how many employees an employer “has” under the WARN Act, it must count all employees at every location, not just the location where employees are being laid off. A number of states also have WARN Act layoff notice laws that may be stricter than the federal law and may apply to smaller employers. State-by-state comparison of 50 employment laws in all 50 states including plant closings, health insurance continuation, unemployment compensation, and employment at will Layoff notice is required when an employer experiences a “plant closing” or “mass layoff” in which at least 50 employees lose their jobs during a 30-day period. Although part-time employees are not counted in determining whether a reduction in force affects enough employees to trigger the WARN Act, they are entitled to WARN Act notice if they’re being laid off."

The contents focus on employee turnover, the factors that influence the employee turnover: personal characteristics, job satisfaction, organisational commitment and perceived alternative job opportunities. Employee turnover has been defined by Price (1977) as the movement of members across the boundary of an organisation. As Mobley (1982) defined that turnover is the voluntary cessation of membership in an organisation by an individual who receives monetary compensation for participating in that organisation. This definition emphasises voluntary behavior because primary turnover model seek to explain what motivates employees to withdraw from the workplace. Furthermore, this concept focuses on separation from an organisation and not includes accession, transfer, or other internal movements through an organisation. Moreover, there are many definitions in same perspective from many authors as Van der Merwe and Miller (1996) stated that employee turnover is a permanent withdrawal and also function of the person-work relationship."

A.’s legal market is still in a gray area) had started a small-scale grow operation with his wife, he soon realized the growing popularity of cannabis oils and extracts. Upon puffing on a vape pen himself, he realized many of these concentrate-filled cartridges had a harsh, artificial taste to them. “Why did I buy an OG Kush that tasted like Pine Sol?” he says. What he soon realized was that many oil manufacturers use chemicals or synthetic materials to fake the taste and aroma of the cannabis strains they’re named after. Ever wonder why Girl Scout Cookies weed tastes so much like, well ... Girl Scout Cookies? The answer, without going down a scientific rabbit hole, is terpenes. A terpene is an organic compound found in all plants — fruits, vegetables and cannabis included — which provides the product with its aroma and flavor. Terpenes commonly found in cannabis strains include Pinene (which smells like a pine forest and is the most traditionally dank smell), limonene (which has a bright, citrusy vibe) and Humulene (a hoppy, woodsy aroma)."

Some cannabis consumers may be aware of terpenes, the cannabinoid-like chemicals that give herb such a pungent aroma. What most do not know is that terpenes also deliver therapeutic relief, just like their cannabinoid cousins. Terpenes are produced in special secretory cells within the trichomes of the plant, the nearly microscopic resinous stalks that cover the flowers and sometimes leaves. This is also where all cannabinoids, like THC and CBD, are created. About 20,000 terpenes exist in nature; around 200 have been identified in cannabis (compared to 111 cannabinoids). Like amino acids, terpenes are powerful building blocks within the plant’s physiology that aid in the production of vitamins, hormones, pigments, resins, and — yes, that most cherished part of the herb — cannabinoids. Cannabis plants release more terpenes when temperatures are higher. Beyond odor, terpenes play several roles, including protecting the cannabis plant against predators like insects and animals. These special molecules constitute roughly 10 to 20 percent of the total pre-smoked resin in the trichome."

Share Tweet Sponsored by Evolab What’s in Your Vape Pen Oil Cartridge? Vaporization is gaining popularity in the medical cannabis community, and for good reason. Not only does vaporizing provide you with a means of safely ingesting the active cannabinoids, terpenoids, and flavonoids found in your favorite strains, but it also removes the risk of inhaling potentially carcinogenic fumes from plant material that is lit on fire. Because of this, many manufacturers have developed cannabis oil products that are designed to be vaporized including portable pen vaporizers with interchangeable oil cartridges. “Unfortunately, most of the early comers to the vape oil market used controversial cutting agents and didn’t employ methods with a focus on terpene preservation or patient safety. ”But have you become increasingly frustrated or unhappy with your attempt to vaporize cannabis oil? Has your opinion of vaping oil been swayed by misinformation or have you developed your beliefs about vaping by painstaking trial and error? We hear all too often – “all oil-based vape pens are alike; the vape tastes weird or bad, and doesn’t taste anything like my favorite strain; vaping carries a less potent experience versus smoking flower or using concentrates; it just doesn’t hit me the same as smoking does; and/or it seems to be missing some of the other effects I get from medicating with dried herbs…”Some of the blame for this dislike of vaping oil is justified and attributable to early-market vape pens that have since been improved by either the original companies or by one of their competitors. Unfortunately, most of the early comers to the vape oil market used controversial cutting agents and didn’t employ methods with a focus on terpene preservation or patient safety."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Many terpenes are derived commercially from conifer resins, such as those made by this pine. Terpenes ( / ˈ t ɜːr p iː n /) are a large and diverse class of organic compounds, produced by a variety of plants, particularly conifers, [1] and by some insects such as termites or swallowtail butterflies, which emit terpenes from their osmeteria. They often have a strong odor and may protect the plants that produce them by deterring herbivores and by attracting predators and parasites of herbivores. [ 2] [3] The difference between terpenes and terpenoids is that terpenes are hydrocarbons, whereas terpenoids contain additional functional groups. They are the major components of resin, and of turpentine produced from resin. The name \"\"terpene\"\" is derived from the word \"\"terpentine\"\", an obsolete form of the word \"\" turpentine \"\". In addition to their roles as end-products in many organisms, terpenes are also major biosynthetic building blocks within nearly every living creature. Steroids, for example, are derivatives of the triterpene squalene. When terpenes are modified chemically, such as by oxidation or rearrangement of the carbon skeleton, the resulting compounds are generally referred to as terpenoids. Some authors will use the term terpene to include all terpenoids."

I'm confused = ( Thanks for your help =)Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The term 'lipid' was first used by the german biochemist Bloor in 1943 for a major class of tissue components and foodstuffs. The word 'fat' is most commonly used as synonym for lipid. These are hydrophobic in nature. The lipids are divided into three groups 1) Simple lipids Eg: Triglycerides and Triacyglycerols 2) Compound lipids Eg: Phospholipids and Glycolipids 3) Derived lipids Eg: Fatty acids, Alcohols, Steroids, Carotenoids, Terpenes, mono and diglycerides Triglycerides: The triglycerides ae the most abundant of all lipids and are commonly called neutral fat. They constitute about 98% of total dietary lipids; the remaining 2% consists of phospholipids and cholesterol and its esters. In animals, the fat cells/adipocytes contain very large quantities of triglycerides in the form of fat droplets, which fill almost the entire cell volume Cholesterol: Steriods containing hydroxyl groups are often reffered to as sterols. The animal sterols or zoosterols are cholesterol, cholestanol, coprostanol etc.) and plant sterols or phytosterols are ergosterol, stigmasterol, spinasterol etc.) are Cholesterol literally means ' Solid alcohol from bile\"\")."

For many people the word “ terpene ” is a strange and unfamiliar term, but it won’t be for much longer. As science and technology carry us to better understandings of cannabis, we’re beginning to see that there’s a lot more to marijuana than its cannabinoid content. To get a hint of the other therapeutic compounds in your strain, just give it a sniff. Terpenes are fragrant oils that give cannabis its aromatic diversity. They’re what give Blueberry its signature berry smell, Sour Diesel its funky fuel flavor, and Lavender its sweet floral aroma. These oils are secreted in the flower’s sticky resin glands, the same ones that produce THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids. Terpenes are by no means unique to cannabis; they can be found in many other herbs, fruits, and plants as well. Click on the infographic to enlarge it."

"text": "© Malcolm Park / Alamy A week or so after the big day and all the Christmas trees have been evicted from our homes. For a couple of weeks they had pride of place in lounges and halls – softly lit with strings of twinkling lights – but now they are outside slumped against wheelie bins. There is one aspect of these trees, however, that we shouldn’t dismiss so quickly. Terpenes are the chemicals that give Christmas trees their inviting pine scent. It therefore makes sense that they are used as fragrances. Pinene, for example, smells like woodland, while limonene smells of lemon. They have other uses too; oil of turpentine, a mixture of several different terpene chemicals distilled from pine sap, is traditionally used in oil painting. Some terpenes and their derivatives are even used as medicines. Broadening their appeal Despite their humble origins, terpenes could soon find widespread use as a replacement for crude oil. Much of our modern way of life – from fuels, to plastics, to deodorants – is built using chemicals derived from oil."

Is CBD the magic cannabis molecule, or a misleading fad? There’s certainly a major trend toward CBD-only products on the cannabis market, and a push in some states leery of medical marijuana to legalize only one or two cannabinoids. Yet many are fighting back against this approach. That’s because there’s an interactive synergy between cannabis compounds, known as the entourage effect, and many benefits attributed broadly to cannabis can only be unlocked through “whole plant medicine” – that is, with THC, CBD, terpenes, and other cannabinoids working together in sync. RELATED STORY5 Experts Weigh in on Cannabis Concentrates and How to Use Them Whole plant medicine has been widely debated as many states consider limited legalization of cannabinoids like CBD, and the idea that the entourage effect is integral to using cannabis as medicine is increasingly accepted. In fact, some products are being designed specifically to maximize the value of whole plant medicine for the consumer. Take Firefly ’s vaporizer technology, which sets out to capture all the myriad benefits of the entourage effect through dynamic convection technology. “ [ Firefly 2 was] truly designed around the plant…in order to deliver all the cannabinoids and terpenes in the most efficient way,” says Rachel Dugas of Firefly. Yet given the complexities of these chemical interactions, it’s still hard to pin down how exactly this maximizes the benefits of cannabis."

"text": "A Cannabis Enthusiast’s Guide to Understanding Terpenes One of the most fun aspects of being a cannabis consumer or patient is the ability to smell the array of fragrances that the plant’s flowers produce. With scents ranging from fruity aromas to cheese-like smells, the cannabis plant can require the consumer to develop a level of familiarity and expertise with its unique makeup. So what exactly is behind these fragrances that trigger such connections? And what is it that makes them so unique? You may have heard of terpenes or terpenoids, the chemical that gives cannabis its different types of scents. Terpenes are organic hydrocarbons found in the essential oils of plants. With the rise of the legal cannabis industry, the discussion around terpenes has recently heated up. We’re here to break down what these chemicals are, and exactly what they are doing to make your cannabis experience so unique. First, the words terpenes and terpenoids are often used interchangeably, although the meanings do vary. Terpenes are the naturally occurring combination of carbon and hydrogen, whereas terpenoids are terpenes that have been modified through a drying and curing process (chemical modification), altering the oxygen content of the compound."

I guess you don't want to lost all your valuable data when seeking a solution only to delete i Messages history. Sometimes, we all need to completely delete i Messages we get on our i Device, Whether that's because you want to keep your i Messages app tidy or because the imessage had something private info in it you don't want others to see, a simple deletion is not far enough. It turns out that deleting i Messages from your i Phone or i Pad isn't so simple."

This can add up to 128GB of extra storage space!How to see the un-required stuff crammed on to your device When you sync your i Phone, i Pad or i Pad to i Tunes you will notice that a yellow bar titled ‘other’ listed in the usage bar graph. If it is anything like mine it can take up loads of storage space.click to enlarge This is something I noticed on my own i Phone and after it creeped up to 4GB I decided I had to find out what this other data was and how to delete it. After all removing it creates loads of extra space for storing important stuff like photos and videos. What is i Tunes other data? When you look at the i Tunes usage bar you will see that there are separate coloured bars for: Photos Music Apps Video Books Documents and data Other Basically, the ‘other’ data is stuff that doesn’t belong in any of the other categories."

Dictating text messages on an i Phone can be extremely convenient, but it costs you some privacy and data consumption. When you enable voice dictation via Siri, you allow Apple to store your verbal commands, messages and contacts on its servers for better speech-to-text efficiency going forward. When you’re traveling or without access to Wi-Fi, voice text messaging could incur cellular charges because your i Phone requires the Internet for dictation to work. You can temporarily restrict voice dictation for times such as these or disable it altogether if you work in a sensitive field with special privacy concerns.

The answer depends on which model you buy, if you’re eligible for a discounted i Phone from AT&T and which AT&T plans you select. Those who are happy with their current i Phones will definitely appreciate many of the improvements found on the i Phone 4, but there are viable alternatives for those who are displeased with their current devices or AT&T’s network. The total cost of the i Phone 4 is much, much higher than the $199 price tag you’ll see in Apple’s marketing materials over the coming months. This isn’t a surprise for current smartphone owners, but it may come as a surprise for those upgrading from standard ‘dumbphones. ’Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available.

That’s with the bare-bones 250MB per month data plan, 450 peak minutes per month, 200 text messages and zero paid applications or downloads. If you never use more data, messages or minutes than your allocated, you can squeak under $2,000 over the contract after taxes and fees. Those who opt for premium AT&T data plans and advanced options such as tethering will feel it in the pocketbook."

With this new feature, you can block telemarketers, spammers, and their ilk from spamming you with annoying texts. Just keep in mind that this will only block them once they hit your phone, not your carrier, so if you have to pay to receive a text, it'll still show up on your bill. The feature also comes in handy if you have enemies who like to harass you via SMS, or maybe an annoying friend who keeps text-bombing you.

"text": "\"Jim Edwards May. 14, 2014, 10:06 AM 303,140Stephan Ridgway / Flickr, CCFor years, Apple has said very little about persistent rumors that its i Phone text messaging system in some way discriminates against Android users, either by delivering messages to them late or not delivering them at all. Now an Apple customer support employee has admitted to Lifehacker's Adam Pash that, in fact, \"\"a lot\"\" of users have this problem: If you switch from an i Phone to an Android, i Message won't deliver texts from i Phone users to your new Android phone. UPDATE: Apple has been sued over the Android texting issue. There is no fix in sight, Pash says he was told. ( At Business Insider, I've had a version of this problem firsthand: My i Phone colleagues get my texts immediately; those on Android seem to get them later, up to a few minutes behind. ) The issue was raised earlier this year by The New York Times, Mashable and Fast Company. The latter went so far as to allege, \"\"Apple is punishing you for ditching your i Phone by cutting you off from your friends, and they want to make it feel like you need to be on an Apple device to talk to the people you care about. \"\" We spoke to Apple recently and it pointed us to this customer support page which instructs users how to turn off i Message so that other i Phones don't continue to try to deliver messages to your disused i Message address. The technical issue here is that i Message is not the same as a regular mobile phone text. It's a separate, different system."

"text": "\"By Michael Aquino Updated 05/17/17Share Pin Email•••Southeast Asia’s governments impose the toughest drug laws on the planet. You can’t blame them – the legendary “Golden Triangle”, a patch of real estate bordering Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar, is smack in the heart of the region and is a world hotspot of narcotics production. In spite of such draconian measures, certain places are flush with illegal drugs. However, you should still defer to local laws when offered a chance to indulge – your status as a foreigner does not make you less likely to be punished for drug use, quite the opposite!Some general, unsolicited advice: Don’t bring your personal stash with you. Don’t get conned into carrying drugs for others, whether as personal favors or for profit. The risks far outweigh the possibility of getting away with it. You can bet the Bali Nine or Schapelle Corby (see Notable Arrests below) thought they could get away with it, too. If you’re bringing prescription drugs with you, play it safe and bring the prescription for these drugs. Notable Drug Arrests in Southeast Asia The following visitors to Southeast Asia fought the law, and the law won - with often terminal results to the lawbreakers.

Therefore, IUCN considers the wild species of Gaur under Bos gaurus, while referring to the domestic form (Mythun, Mithan or Gayal) as Bos frontalis Lambert, 1804 (see Gentry et al. 2004). Traditionally, three subspecies of Gaur have been recognized: Bos gaurus gaurus in India, Nepal, and Bhutan; B. g. readei in Myanmar (Burma), southern China, Lao PDR, Viet Nam, Cambodia, and Thailand north of the Isthmus of Kra (Lydekker 1903); and B. g. hubbacki in Thailand south of the Isthmus of Kra and in West Malaysia (Lydekker 1907). ( In addition, Hubback (1937) thought that there may be two subspecies of Gaur in Malaysia, one with a well developed dewlap and one without.) However, this trifid arrangement, based largely on differences in colouration and size, is no longer widely recognized (Grzimek 1990, Corbet and Hill 1992)."

( August 2010) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Military Assistance Advisory Group ( MAAG) is a designation for United States military advisers sent to other countries to assist in the training of conventional armed forces and facilitate military aid. Although numerous MAAGs operated around the world throughout the 1940s–1970s, the most famous MAAGs were those active in Southeast Asia before and during the Vietnam War. Typically, the personnel of MAAGs were considered to be technical staff attached to, and enjoying the privileges of, the US diplomatic mission in a country. [ 1] Although the term is not as widespread as it once was, the functions performed by MAAGs continue to be performed by successor organizations attached to embassies, often called United States Military Groups (USMILGP or MILGRP). The term MAAG may still occasionally be used for such organizations helping promote military partnerships with several Latin American countries such as Peru and the Dominican Republic as well as in African countries such as Liberia.

The Funanese Empire stretched across Southeast Asia and had contact with the Romans, and both trade and cultural exchanges with India. The Chenla Kingdom emerged from the Funanese, conquering Funan by 628. The Chenla Kingdom broke up in the 8th century, and one of the new provinces formed was called Kambuja. The Khmer Empire rose to power in the 9th century, quickly expanding their territory until the 13th century when it began its decline. European explorers from Portugal and Spain arrived in the 16th century, as early as 1555. When Cambodia's neighbors, Siam (now Thailand) and Vietnam, faced conflict, Cambodia was caught in between. Though Cambodia was a protectorate of Siam, Vietnam invaded and claimed much of Cambodia's territory. Cambodia became a French protectorate in 1863, then part of the French colony of French Indochina. During World War II, Cambodia was occupied by Japan."

With a total area of about 69,898 square miles, Cambodia is slightly smaller than Oklahoma, which makes it the world’s 90th nation by surface. In 2014, Cambodia has a population of about 15,300,000 people and a density of 211.8 inhabitants per square mile. By 2018 population, it is ranked 68th out of all the countries in the world. Cambodia’s capital and largest city is Phnom Penh, with a population of 2,300,000 people and a density of 8,800 persons per square mile. Basic History of Cambodia Cambodia, which became independent from France in November 1953, is now a multiparty democracy under a constitutional monarchy promulgated in 1993. Before being a democracy, Cambodia had its deathly years under the dictatorship of Pol Pot, a communist revolutionary who led the Khmer Rouge (the name given to the followers of the Communist Party of Kampuchea in Cambodia) from 1963 until his death in 1998. Pot’s rule became known as the era of the “killing fields” when the cities were emptied and about quarter of the country’s 8 million people were slaughtered by the Khmer Rouge. More precisely, Pol Pot’s name came to symbolize the deaths of 2 million people under his rule in Cambodia for four horrific years: 1975 to 1979. Ruled by King Norodom Sihamoni (since 29 October 2004) and by Prime Minister Hun Sen (since 14 January 1985), Cambodia is divided in 23 provinces and one municipality."

These merchants not only established trading stations in Southeast Asia, but also brought their religions and cultures with them. Under their influence, the local people began to practise a mixture of Buddhism and Hinduism, while retaining at the same time many of their old beliefs and customs. Dharma Wheel: Thai (Dvaravati style) from the 7th - 9th century. Buddhism in Burma As early as the time of King Ashoka of India, monks were sent to Thaton to spread the Buddha's teachings. Thaton was a trading centre of southern Burma. However, from the first century C. E. onwards, trade between India and Burma expanded and there was increased contact with the Indian traders and their religious beliefs. Buddhism was widely accepted by the people in Thaton as more Buddhist missionaries arrived from Indian Buddhist centres. Thaton soon became an important centre for Theravada Buddhism. In later centuries, Vajrayana Buddhism was introduced to the people in northern Burma."

The river gathers momentum, becoming a roaring torrent as it swirls through deep gorges, dropping an astonishing 4,500 metres in elevation through Tibet and China, over a distance of 1,800 kilometres—before turning tamer in Laos. The entire length of the river is estimated at 4,350 kilometres. The river is known under many names as it courses through different nations: Dza Chu (Tibet), Lancang Jiang (China), Mekaung Myit (Burma), Menam Khong (Thailand), Tonle Thom (Cambodia), and Song Me Kong (Vietnam). There are more name variations for upper, middle or lower reaches within China. In Vietnam, at the tail-end of the river, the sprawling Mekong Delta is called Song Cuu Long (Nine Dragons River).

For 300 years Lan Xang had influence reaching into present-day Cambodia and Thailand, as well as over all of what is now Laos. After centuries of gradual decline, Laos came under the domination of Siam (Thailand) from the late 18th century until the late 19th century when it became part of French Indochina. The Franco-Siamese Treaty of 1907 defined the current Lao border with Thailand. In 1975, the Communist Pathet Lao took control of the government ending a six-century-old monarchy and instituting a strict socialist regime closely aligned to Vietnam. A gradual return to private enterprise and the liberalization of foreign investment laws began in 1986. Laos became a member of ASEAN in 1997.

The French were already in control of Luang Phrabāng, and with the support of the Prince of Champāsak they were also regaining control in the south. When it became clear that the King would not budge from his loyalty to France, Phetxarāt (who had no fondness for the King and the Crown Prince) unilaterally declared the unification of the country, nominally under the crown of Luang Phrabāng, and then declared Lao independence. In September the Chinese Army arrived to find that a Lao government of sorts was in command of Viang Chan. Uncertain what to do, the Chinese commander recognised Phetxarāt, and in Luang Phrabāng the Chinese disarmed the French forces. But the Allied governments refused to recognise Phetxarāt's government, and in October de Gaulle advised the King by telegram to dismiss him as Prime Minister of Luang Phrabāng."

The country is located in the southeastern part of the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia, it is bordered by Vietnam to the east and south, Laos in northeast, Thailand in west/northwest, and by the Gulf of Thailand in west. With an area of 181,000 km² Cambodia is about half the size of Germany or slightly smaller than the U. S. state of Oklahoma. Cambodia has a population of about 14.6 million people (in 2013). Capital city is Phnom Penh. Spoken languages are predominantly (90%) Khmer, a Mon–Khmer language, and Vietnamese (5%). Cambodia | Kampuchea Country Profile Background: Following a five-year struggle, communist Khmer Rouge forces captured Phnom Penh in 1975 and ordered the evacuation of all cities and towns; over 1 million displaced people died from execution or enforced hardships. A 1978 Vietnamese invasion drove the Khmer Rouge into the countryside and touched off 13 years of fighting. UN-sponsored elections in 1993 helped restore some semblance of normalcy, as did the rapid diminishment of the Khmer Rouge in the mid-1990s."

It has been observed that as economies continue to grow, the demand for labor is at an all-time high in the industrial sector and the sex tourism sector. A mix of impoverished individuals and the desire for more wealth creates an environment for human traffickers to benefit in the Southeast Asia region. Many nations within the region have taken preventative measures to end human trafficking within their borders and punish traffickers operating there. Contents [ hide ]1 Nature of the problem2 Causes3 Source countries4 Destination countries5 Victims6 Traffickers7 Prevention policies8 References Nature of the problem [ edit]Human trafficking, is defined by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in their Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons document as “the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation.” [ 1] This definition applies to harvesting of organs, slavery or forced labor, and sexual exploitation. According to an International Labour Organization (ILO) a report using a methodology based off national surveys reported, as recently as 2012, 20.9 million people were being held against their will in various forms of forced labor around the world. The majority of these laborers were women at 55% and males at 45%. [ 2] According to Besler, annual profits from industries specializing in forced labor have averaged 44.3 billion dollars in 2005. [ 3]Beyond the scope Southeast Asia, the Asia-Pacific region contains the largest number of forced laborers anywhere in the world but only has a prevalence rate of 3.3 per 1000, which is one of the lower prevalence rates when compared by region.

However, if you feel it is expected your thank you notes should be written and sent out within 2-3 weeks of receiving the flowers. If you don't feel up to it, enlist the help of a family member or friend who can help with the purchasing of the stationery and be responsible for the mailing. That leaves you to only think about the wording. Bear in mind your family and friends won't expect a lengthy note, a few lines of gratitude is all that is necessary. Simple thank you wording is all that is required. Hand write the thank you notes if possible. You funeral home can usually supply tasteful cards with appropriate funeral thank you verses or even funeral thank you poems on them. That leaves you just to write a simple \"\"Thank you very much\"\". Alternatively you can purchase pre-printed cards and write a line or two and perhaps write a more personal thank you once you are feeling up to it."

Good morning everyone - I'm on here because my husband was diagnosed with male breast cancer back in April. He had surgery on 16th May to remove the tumour behind his left nipple, the nipple itself, and they also took away three lymph nodes under his left arm, as a precaution. He now has a very large scar! Last Friday, he went to see the chemotherapy nurse, and has found that he has been scheduled for six sessions of chemo over 18 weeks. Quite understandably, he is dreading this (as am I), and has started wondering if a) he HAS to have it b) are there alternatives and c) what if he has nothing more in the form of treatment? So far, whilst he has obviously had an operation, he has not been \"\"ill\"\", and I can't bear the thought of my good-natured, upbeat, positive Scotsman becoming sick, tired and depressed. As far as we both know, in follow up scans, there is no sign that his cancer has spread anywhere else, and his surgeon was delighted with the outcome of his operation. We both know that no two people are the same when it comes to side effects, but sure as eggs are eggs, there will be side effects."

"text": "No Thank You: New Rules About Thank You Notes After the Death of a Loved One By Hello Grief Email Print By guest writer, Catherine Tidd I was brought up with a Southern mother who drummed into us the lesson that it doesn’t matter if someone gives you a diamond or a dandelion…thank you notes are a must. And for the most part, I completely agree. For whatever the gift or sentiment, the giver thought of you, took the time out of their day to give you something, and that action should be acknowledged. Even now, with my kids as young as they are, I have them write their own thank you notes. And I even have them write thank you notes to each other after a birthday or holiday. We all know, that as the giver, it gives us a little smile to know that someone is enjoying the gift we gave them. However… Immediately after the death of someone close to you, you’re either one of two things: You’re running around manically trying to get a million things done at once so you don’t have to think about what’s going on, OR you’re laying in your bed, trying your hardest not to move just in case the grief monster is in the room, notices you, and plans a sneak attack. Either way, you’re really not up for calmly sitting down and writing a thank you note for the potted plant someone brought to the funeral or the ham you never had the appetite to eat. Because, in the grand scheme of things (and nothing gives us a glimpse into The Grand Scheme of Things like the death of a loved one…) compared to the size of your grief…is a thank you note really that important? And don’t even get me started on the effort it takes to address the things."

Though casing is the first molding profile noticed in a home, and often the first molding installed in a home, baseboard is usually the first molding that an apprentice carpenter learns to cut, and for good reason. The first big challenge in finish carpentry is learning how to identify and cut inside and outside corners—both miters and copes.·THISis Safety Please don’t try anything you see in THISis Carpentry, or anywhere else for that matter, unless you’re completely certain that you can do it safely.·Understand Baseboard Joinery Most carpenters are never taught how to recognize inside and outside corner miters. Instead, they’re assigned a closet in the back of a home and told to figure it out on their own. That’s a tough way to learn, and it explains why many carpenters never learn the simple basics of miter joints. Watch most carpenters at work, and sooner or later you’ll see them close their eyes and try to visualize the direction they need to miter a piece of molding. Learn these basic rules—the Short-point-Long-point Method—and you’ll never wonder which way to miter your moldings, even when you’re cutting them upside down and backwards (yes, crown molding is next!). Understanding Miters Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 2:261. For outside corners, the short point of the miter is always at the back of the molding, against the wall, and against the miter saw fence—for outside corners, you measure to the short point of the miter and you cut to the short point of the miter.

If you are like many students, you likely received a number of gifts and cash as graduation gifts from friends and family. Now you may be wondering what is the proper way to thank all these generous people for those gifts. If you thought it would be okay to thank people for the graduation cash and gifts you received with an email or text, you would be wrong. Even in this digital age where online greeting card are acceptable, you still need to hand write thank you notes to everyone who gave you a graduation gift. The good news is, writing that thank you card isn’t all that difficult. It’s not necessary to write a long, drawn out letter telling the person what’s going on in your life. In fact, you can get away with writing as little as three sentences, although you’re more than welcome to write even more. The important step is it should be handwritten, not typed and printed off a computer. It should also be written on stationery or a card, not a random piece of computer paper."

Wait at least a week after the interview to make contact again. If she gave you a timeline on when the company plans to make a decision, wait until after the date she specified.

Typically, invitations are sent out 8-10 weeks ahead of the wedding. In smaller towns about 4-6 weeks is sufficient. Some parts of the country may require less time. What information should I put on a birth announcement? Typically the baby’s weight, name, date of birth, and parents and/or siblings names, are put on the announcement. Sometimes people include a picture of the baby, but that is optional. Is it necessary to sign every holiday card? If the name of the person sending the card has had their name pre-printed on the card, then it is not necessary. It is always a nice touch to write a little note to personalize the card a bit, but it is not essential."

Should mass cards be acknowledged? And how much time can you take to send acknowledgments? My policy is to mail acknowledgments to those who sent flowers, food, etc. or made a contribution to a charity or institution in memory of the deceased. Mass cards fall into the latter category, since people usually do contribute something. I also send acknowledgments to someone who wrote a personal note (either a stand-alone note or a handwritten note added to a printed card) as opposed to simply signing a condolence card. People who were particularly helpful should also be acknowledged, i.e. someone who picked up out-of-town relatives from the airport or babysat when necessary. I have never received a printed acknowledgment for simply attending a funeral– and do not expect one. I don’t send them myself and have usually thanked attendees in person at the funeral."

Ideal Timing Ideally, you want your interviewers to receive your thank you when your interview is still relatively fresh in their minds. Compose your thank you note within two business days of your interview, advises Virginia Tech Division of Student Affairs. Address your letter to the interviewer by name -- or write separate notes, each addressed to the different members of the committee if more than one individual conducted the interview. To ensure that you have the correct name, spelling and contact information, ask for the interviewers’ business cards as you leave. Put these communications in the mail immediately after writing them. Email Option You don’t have to send your thank you letter via snail mail. Email can be your ally in this process, as an electronically sent communication will have none of the lag time as a traditional letter."

Today I’m sharing test-selection advice from Adam Ingersoll, a co-founder of Compass Education Group, which is a large test-prep firm in Southern California. I wrote about his predictions regarding the SAT changes to come in this recent blog post: Predictions About the New SATHere are four things Ingersoll suggests students should do:1. Decide what test to take at the end of 10th grade. To find out if you should devote your time to the SAT or ACT, take a practice test for each. A significant minority of teenagers do better on one of these tests. A slight majority do equally well on each test. You can find the practice tests on the ACT and College Board websites."

Not yet. You want to know how well you performed on the test, and to do so, you need your ACT score report. This post will give you all the details you need to get your ACT scores. When Does ACT Release Test Scores? The ACT is really good about getting scores to students as soon as possible, instead of waiting longer to release all scores at once. Hundreds of thousands of students take the ACT on each test date, so waiting to release scores until all tests are processed and essays graded would take quite a while. Good on ACT for expediting the process; however, because of this rolling release of scores, some students might receive score reports much later than others for a certain test date."

Many schools claim to be college preparatory, but do they do anything outside the ordinary to set kids on the road to college?by: Crystal Yednak | March 9, 2016Print article College preparatory indicates that a school prepares students for college. In theory, of course, every high school should prepare students for college, but that’s not always the case — even for schools that adopt the college preparatory label. With a national focus on readying students for college and careers, many schools — even elementary schools — are using the college preparatory title in their names and promotional materials, but what does it actually mean? College prep: elite boarding school or urban charter? Among the many schools that call themselves college preparatory, you’ll find elite boarding schools that have sent generations of graduates to the Ivy Leagues and other top universities. You’ll also find inner-city charter schools that pledge every graduate will be admitted to a four-year college or university. You’ll also, unfortunately, find schools that do nothing outside the ordinary to ensure that students go to college, but claim the college preparatory label because they know it’s what many parents are looking for. There are public , private, parochial, and charter schools that call themselves college preparatory. And while these schools can be selective — requiring testing and interviews for admission — they could also be open enrollment, accepting anyone who shows up."

The question of how much to pay for tutoring is important to consider when planning your test prep budget. After all, you want to make sure that you are spending your money wisely! This means that paying $30/hr to a high school senior who took the test once, got a 1450, and has never taught before is not the right option for comprehensive tutoring. On the other hand, just because a tutoring service is more expensive doesn’t mean it’s the best one for you. A so-called expert SAT/ACT tutor can cost you anywhere from twenty to hundreds of dollars an hour, so it can be hard to know where you should be looking.

I was really upset recently to find out that I wasn't a competitive applicant for the air force academy based on my act/sat scores...apparently they do this thing where you have to a certain score before they even let you apply (that is send you an application) to the university. My teachers/counselor had said... show more Follow Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The Air Force Academy does set a minimum standard re: SAT and ACT scores. The reality is that it doesn't really matter why they do that, does it? Fact is, it's there, and you must meet that minimum in order to even be considered. Most successful applicants to the Air Force Academy have ACT scores averaging in around the 27-31 range. SATs are average: Critical Reading:570-650 Math:600-690 Writing:640-700 Students who score below 24 English/reading and 25 math/science on the ACT normally will not be considered. You can learn how to take these tests, and do better on them. You should strongly consider taking an ACT test prep class this summer, and then retaking that exam after having worked really hard at that class, and having done a lot of sample exams. You may know the subjects - it may have been a while since you've done those specific aspects of those subjects, so the review will be good."

First, it can be difficult to gauge how colleges use the ACT essay score because the score is not used to calculate the Composite score, which is the score that colleges use for admissions. Second, the ACT essay seems to be scored on a more difficult scaling than the other sections of the test. Almost every student will have a lower essay score than English score (will explain more below). Third, the ACT keeps flip-flopping on how to score the test. Frequently Asked Questions#1: How Is the ACT Essay Score Used by Colleges? Most colleges will not tell you exactly how much the ACT essay score is specifically used in the admission process. From admissions, I usually hear something like: \"\"We want students to take the ACT with Writing, but we value other parts of the application more\"\".

I tuned in with even more glee than usual to a show that had already won me over with its portrayal of a mixed-race, same-gender couple filling a home with love and chosen family. Of course, I wish I already lived in a world where a 17-year-old trans actor landing a role on a hit show was not cause for celebration and the entertainment industry already aimed to fill trans roles with trans actors. But my dream isn't yet reality, so it felt like a victory to watch Tom Phelan bring Cole to life. Though a young actor, they (Phelan prefers gender-neutral pronouns) don't disappoint as a fierce and guarded Cole. They skillfully brood, bristle, explode and eventually reveal a tender heart, embodying a character who stands up for himself; a young man entitled to inhabit his rightful gender, body and space. Cole affirmed me as a transmasculine viewer, even as his narrative diverged from my own — which felt right since trans lives are each unique and complex.

"text": "vulture roundtable September 28, 2016 11:00 a.m. A Roundtable Discussion With the Transgender Talent Behind Transparent By Stacey Wilson Hunt Share Tweet Share Email Photo: Emily Berl/Vulture When Transparent creator and now two-time Emmy-winning director Jill Soloway released a rallying cry at the Emmys on September 18 to “topple the patriarchy,” there was a palpable shifting of audience members in their seats. After years of more traditional comedy series contenders seeing their directors take to the Emmys stage (think Modern Family ), the fight for trans and female inclusion in Hollywood was suddenly being televised and Soloway was its fearless leader. But Soloway and Transparent star Jeffrey Tambor, who nabbed a second consecutive trophy for his work as the series’ trans protagonist Maura Pffeferman, are the first to acknowledge that their work on the critically acclaimed Amazon series — which premiered its third season on September 23 — is impossible without the groundbreaking, and at times painfully personal, contributions of its transgender writers, producers, directors, and actors. Actress Alexandra Billings (“Davina”); producer Zackary Drucker; producer Rhys Ernst; actress Alexandra Grey (“Elizah Edwards”); director Silas Howard; writer Ali Liebegott; actress Trace Lysette (“Shea”); and writer Our Lady J, sat down with Vulture at Edendale restaurant in L. A.’s Silver Lake neighborhood to reflect on how the series has changed the way we tell trans stories, the hopefulness they now feel for trans children, and why they disagree on how important it is to cast trans people in transgender roles. How did it feel to see Jill and Jeffrey use their Emmy moments to advocate so publicly for the trans community? And how have your lives — personally and professionally — been impacted by their support and working on the show? Trace Lysette: Their speeches were the highlight of the night and really drove home again how important our representation is in Hollywood. The show didn’t win, but I feel like we won anyway. Our Lady J: When I transitioned, I’d go to the LGBT center for my support group. Now I just show up at work."

"text": "“Orange Is The New Black,” Netflix’s newest hit show, has been widely acclaimed for its dynamic representations of diverse and authentic characters. And few people are more excited by this arguably unparalleled diversity than the show’s own cast. One such cast member is Laverne Cox, who plays transgender prison inmate Sophia Burset. Cox, a trailblazing producer,actress and activist is no stranger to breaking barriers on TV as an African-American transgender woman. She is also no stranger to the difficulties transgender folks face — in the media and beyond. Cox views “Orange Is The New Black” as an exciting opportunity both as a woman in the entertainment industry and a member of a minority group. “ We don’t see enough multidimensional portrayals of trans women and women in jail who are of different races, ages, body types,” Cox told Salon on July 25th. “ We don’t see enough multidimensional portrayals of women in general, that show the diversity of womanhood. ”And Cox believes that the enthusiastic response of viewers to such interesting characters will encourage the historically exclusive entertainment industry to create more interesting roles for talented actors. She said in an August 7th NPR interview: The industry historically doesn’t think that we [trans people, women, black actors] are marketable, or they want to cast us in very limited ways."

"text": "Starting in 1944, Ingrid Bergman won Oscars for all the wrong moviesby Mike D'Angelo Truly great acting is seldom recognized in its own time—at least officially, with trophies and such. Performance Review takes a retrospective, highly opinionated look at past award-winners. Each entry focuses on a specific category in a given year, in several different awards ceremonies, in an effort to determine the year’s most criminally overlooked performance. Best Actress, 1944• Academy Award: Ingrid Bergman, Gaslight Hollywood began its tradition of rewarding its greatest actors for the wrong roles early. Ingrid Bergman was somehow not even nominated for her performances in Casablanca, Notorious, or Journey To Italy, yet she won three Oscars for work that’s much less fondly remembered today. Gaslight, which came out a year after Casablanca, unquestionably provided her with a memorable showcase; the movie is about a woman who’s being slowly, deliberately driven insane, and Bergman plays her with a range that encompasses every emotion on the spectrum from low-grade anxiety to full-scale panic. It’s solid work, but everything’s right on the surface, and director George Cukor tends to place Bergman at the center of the frame and have her react with exaggerated alarm to conversations behind her or noises above her. Compare this performance to her turn as a frustrated wife in 1950’s Stromboli, the first film she made with future husband Roberto Rossellini, and it’s clear she was capable of a great deal more complexity than Gaslight allows her, even in a circumscribed context involving marital torment. This is a role that any number of actors could have fretted their way through equally well, and in some ways, Diana Wynyard plays it more adroitly in the British version of the film, made four years earlier—Bergman cranks every reaction up to 11, whereas Wynyard maintains a steady thrum of subterranean apprehension, which is frequently more effective. Mostly, though, I’m just a bit gobsmacked to be reminded that Bergman’s three Oscars were for Gaslight, Anastasia, and Murder On The Orient Express, rather than for any of the canonical classics with which she’s most associated."

"text": "\"Transgender Trans Folks Respond to 'Bathroom Bills' With #We Just Needto Pee Selfies A viral social media campaign reveals what trans people are really in the bathroom to do — and it's not as scary as right-wing politicians suggest. By Mitch Kellaway March 14 2015 6:00 AM EDTWhile politicians in the U. S. and Canada continue to debate the so-called dangers of allowing transgender people to use the public or school restrooms that accord with their genders, trans people themselves have taken to social media to show they have only one agenda in the restroom: peeing. Using #We Just Need To Pee on social media — a hashtag that is currently going viral — trans women and men have been posting photos of themselves in the restrooms of the gender they were assigned at birth, at times adding signs to highlight how ill-fitting their presence is. The selfie-protest trend started with Canadian trans woman Brae Carnes, who began February 26 posting a series of Facebook pictures of herself in front of men's urinals holding a sign stating, \"\"Plett Put Me Here,\"\" in reference to conservative Senator Donald Plett's statement that the 2013 proposed addition of gender identity to the Canadian Human Rights Act \"\"allows for pedophiles to take advantage of legislation we have in place.\"\" Gay Star News reports that the Conservative-led Senate finally approved the trans-inclusive addition last month, but then effectively killed it by introducing an amendment exempting \"\"sex-specific\"\" facilities, including public bathrooms, from protection. Minnesota trans man Michael C. Hughes then followed in Carnes's path, adding words to a Twitter image that read, \"\"Do I look like I belong in women's facilities? Republicans are trying to get legislation passed that will put me there, based on my gender at birth. Trans people aren't going to the bathroom to spy on you, or otherwise cause you harm. # wejustneedtopee. \"\" Hughes and many others are protesting recent legislation that targets trans students in Minnesota, Kentucky, and Texas school restrooms and locker rooms, as well as recently proposed legislation in Florida and Texas that seeks to fine and jail anyone \"\"caught\"\" in a public facility that does not match their \"\"biological\"\" gender."

And last summer she graced the cover of Time, with the headline “The Transgender Tipping Point” suggesting that Cox’s success, as an actress and an activist, symbolises a new acceptance of trans people. Still, she is reluctant to break out the bunting. “ I think there’s something shifting in terms of visibility and media representation,” she tells me when we meet. “ But in terms of the day-to-day lives of trans people, we still experience violence at a disproportionate rate, as well as homelessness, unemployment, the denial of health care, and being criminalised and incarcerated. There are still over 30 states in the US that don’t have any anti-discrimination protections for trans people at all. ”Read: Orange is the New Black, season 4, spoiler-free review: 'is this the darkest season yet?

When we talk about “family,” we are not referring only to people related by genetics. Families can come in all configurations, including adoptive or foster parents, grandparents, extended family, mentors, or one’s chosen family made up of close friends. Many youth have been rejected by their genetic and adoptive families and need support from other adults.

Thus our resources in this section, and in our work in general, are for all types of “family” and all adults who “parent” a child."

The film tells the story of Ron Woodroof, an AIDS patient diagnosed in the mid 1980s when HIV /AIDS treatments were under-researched, while the disease was not understood and highly stigmatized. As part of the experimental AIDS treatment movement, he smuggled unapproved pharmaceutical drugs into Texas for treating his symptoms, and distributed them to fellow people with AIDS by establishing the \"\"Dallas Buyers Club\"\" while facing opposition from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Two fictional supporting characters, Dr. Eve Saks ( Jennifer Garner ), and Rayon ( Jared Leto ), were composite roles created from the writers’ interviews with transgender AIDS patients, activists, and doctors. Screenwriter Borten interviewed Woodroof in 1992 and wrote the script, which he polished with writer Wallack in 2000, and then sold to producer Robbie Brenner. Several other actors, directors, and producers who were attached at various times to the development of the film left the project. Universal Pictures also tried to make the film, but did not. A couple of screenwriters wrote drafts that were rejected. In 2009, producer Brenner involved Matthew Mc Conaughey, because of his Texas origins, the same as Woodroof's. Brenner selected the first draft, written by Borten and Wallack, for the film, and then Vallée was set to direct the film."

"text": "Adrenal Fatigue And Your Immune System The hormones produced by your adrenal glands, particularly the stress hormone cortisol, play an important role in regulating your immune system. If your cortisol levels go too low or too high, this can lead to regular infections, chronic inflammation, autoimmune diseases or allergies. Maintaining a balanced level of cortisol is an important part of staying healthy. One of cortisol’s many functions is to reduce inflammation. When your body encounters a pathogen, the immune system responds by quickly attacking it. This causes inflammation, which is often a good thing (it means the immune system is working). In those with healthy immune and endocrine systems, cortisol works to moderate the inflammation caused by an immune system response, but it does not completely eliminate it. Cortisol levels can become imbalanced during the different stages of Adrenal Fatigue. In fact, your cortisol levels will largely depend on which stage of the condition you have reached. If you are still in the early stages, your cortisol levels are likely to be elevated, along with epinephrine and norepinephrine."

( Or will at some point of your life.) Many proponents of this condition estimate that almost every person can experience adrenal fatigue, also known as hypoadrenia, to some degree at a particularly stressful point in his or her life. According to James Wilson (author of “Adrenal Fatigue: The 21st Century Stress Syndrome”), chronic stress and lifestyle affect the body’s ability to recuperate from physical, mental or emotional stress. Because of the vast influence of the adrenals on the body, symptoms of adrenal fatigue can mimic a number of disorders and isn’t always easily recognizable. Most sources agree that adrenal fatigue symptoms include extreme fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, insulin resistance and others (more on that below). While the mere fact you feel fatigued is not necessarily indicative of adrenal fatigue, and adrenal fatigue tests aren’t always straightforward, there is evidence that high cortisol levels found in saliva are associated with reduced immune function, increased blood pressure, increased heart rate and delayed growth in children. ( 1)These symptoms and more can be indicative of a few different disorders and are often overlooked by doctors, but more and more people are starting to realize that a combination of these could indicate the onset of adrenal fatigue. Some people at high risk for the symptoms of adrenal fatigue include busy new parents, students in college or post-graduate studies and caregivers, such as nurses or family members caring for invalid relatives. If you have adrenal fatigue, it can also be a major cause of excess fat storage and low energy levels."

"text": "Home Adrenal Glands Overview Hormonal Disorders: Adrenal Glands Table of Contents Causes Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment Cushings Q&A Brochures Overview: Causes: The adrenal gland is a flat gland that is on each side of the two kidneys. The gland has two parts: Cortex: , releases steroid hormones such as cortisol (stimulates the liver to produce glucose and also affect fat distribution, protein use, affects the immune system and helps to reduce inflammation)Medulla: releases epinephrine (helps to regulate the nervous system - adrenaline) and norepinephrine (helps to regulate blood pressure, heart rate and an aggressive response). Several well known conditions are caused by the adrenal glands producing too much or too little of a particular hormone. These include adrenal gland tumor, Canine Cushing's Disease (hyperadrenalcorticism) and Canine Addison's Disease (hypoadrenocorticism). Symptoms: If your dog has an adrenal gland tumor, symptoms include: Excessive urination (Polyuria)Abnormal Thirst (Polydipsia)Excessive Eating (Polyphagia)Obesity Body getting larger Thinning Coat Failure to regrow hair Hair loss (Alopecia)Thin Skin Panting Muscle Weakness Lethargic Behavior Other Dog Adrenal Gland Symptoms that are not common: Exhaustion due to becoming overheated Scaling skin (seborrhea)Blackheads on the skin (comedo)Dark spots on the skin (hyperpigmentation)Lesions on the skin (calcinosis cutis)Bruises on the body Shrinking testicles (atrophy)No period (no cycle)Paralysis in the face Shrinking clitoris (atrophy)Diagnosis Your veterinarian will do a physical exam to identify many of the symptoms described above. A urine test (urinalysis) will be done since bacteria accumulation and high cholesterol levels are other signs of a canine adrenal gland problem. Tests will help to determine if your dog has an adrenal gland tumor, a problem with the pituitary gland called pituitary dependant hypercortisolism (PDH) or another condition called hyperadrenocorticism (HAC). Your veterinarian may also choose to use ultrasound to provide another level of information before making a diagnosis. Tumors If your dog is diagnosed with having a tumor, your veterinarian will determine if the adrenal tumors affect only one of the two glands or as in 10% of the cases, both glands. It is common for dogs with adrenal gland tumors to also have a pituitary tumor as well."

The medulla is located in the center of the gland and makes adrenaline and noradrenaline. These hormones are also known as epinephrine and norepinephrine. These hormones control the \"\"fight or flight response\"\" i.e. put your body on \"\"high alert.\"\" These hormones increase the heart rate, increase blood pressure, increase the amount of oxygen you breathe in, and temporarily improve the eyesight. Adrenaline also causes the liver to release extra glucose, or sugar, into the bloodstream to provide instant energy. Things that cause the adrenal medulla to release adrenaline and noradrenaline include anxiety, pain, upright posture, exercise, and cold. Once released, these hormones are broken down into normetanephrine and metanephrines, which are metabolites or waste products. The cortex is located on the outer layer of the adrenal gland and makes a number of different hormones that help control the heart, kidneys, GI tract, bones, genitalia, and immune system. These hormones control carbohydrate metabolism, muscular integrity, hemodynamic changes, and sexual maturity."

Baucom, MD, FACOG, FAAAM August 25, 2008Adrenal Glands The adrenal glands are two triangular orange-colored glands that are positioned one on top of each kidney. The glands are absolutely vital for our existence. There are two parts of the adrenal gland:1) The outside or shell cortical layer (like an M&M candy) has three layers. Each layer secretes different hormones directly into the bloodstream to take care of:• blood sugar regulation • electrolytes (NA+, K+); and • cortisol or steroids for stress2) The inside of each gland (chocolate part of M&M), or the adrenal medulla, secretes the neurotransmitter noradrenaline (also called norephinephrine) and epinephrine (also called adrenaline). Adrenaline causes excitement and stimulation of the circulation and muscular action. Noradrenalin has little effect on muscles and cardiac output, but increases blood pressure resulting from vasconstriction. The adrenal glands are vital for our immune system, as well as our overall hormone health. Click here to read more about the adrenals. Cortisol Cortisol is one of several hormones released by the powerful adrenal glands. It is released as a “stress hormone” and is vital to the feeling of well-being."

These glands secrete a variety of hormones, which travel to specific target organs via the bloodstream. Hormones have specific functions such as regulating growth, metabolism, temperature and reproductive development. Like the nervous system, the endocrine system acts as a signaling pathway, although hormones are slower acting than nerve impulses. Endocrine signals can last from a few hours to a few weeks. The main control center for the glands in the endocrine system is the hypothalamus in the brain. The field of medicine concerned with the endocrine system is known as endocrinology. Glands of the Endocrine System Endocrine glands tend to be vascular and do not have ducts. Ducts are instead found in exocrine glands, which produce hormonal signals outside of the body. The hormones of endocrine glands are stored in vacuoles or granules, ready to be released."

Pantethine is the more active form of Pantothenic Acid, and plays an important role in energy metabolism and detoxification. Small amounts of pantethine are present in some foods, but these amounts aren’t quite enough to provide your body with its therapeutic benefits. For this reason, Pantethine is best taken in a concentrated form as a supplement. Pantethine benefits Candida sufferers by supporting healthy metabolism, particularly when it comes to breaking down acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde is one of the toxic byproducts released by the Candida yeast during its growth and die-off phase. It’s a nasty chemical that affects your metabolic, endocrine, neurological and immune systems, often resulting in that ‘brain fog’ symptom that is so characteristic of Candida. Acetaldehyde is produced by the Candida yeast during your Candida infestation, and it is also released by yeast cells during the Die-Off reaction. Pantethine also supports the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands are responsible for producing a number of important hormones required for bodily functions, including the immune system."

"text": "Chapter One: Adrenal Insufficiency and Hypothyroidism The adrenal glands play an extremely important role in the body. They are, first and foremost, involved in immune function and the body’s stress response. They also regulate blood sugar levels, blood pressure, inflammation, blood vessel constriction, and electrolyte balance in the cells, among other things. They help mobilize protein for energy use by the body, and aid in carrying thyroid hormones from the blood to the cells. Adrenal insufficiency is a condition in which the adrenal glands fail to produce proper amounts of steroid hormones and adrenalin, which are used by the body for all of the aforementioned processes. The condition is due to prolonged stress from disease, trauma, or toxins. Sometimes it is caused by adrenals that are inherently weak. Based on my research and experience, I believe that adrenal fatigue is a principal, or triggering cause of illness in many people with tick-borne infections, chronic fatigue syndrome, and other conditions involving severe autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Adrenal insufficiency can cause detoxification problems, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, dysautonomias, and other neuroendocrine problems (which are usually attributed to the effects of tick-borne infections). Adrenal insufficiency can be caused by tick-borne infections, but it can also be what triggers tick-borne illness."

MSH influences skin pigmentation and is chemically similar to ACTH (produced in the anterior lobe). The hypothalamus inhibits secretion of MSH by secreting melanocyte-inhibiting factor (MIF). Posterior Lobe The posterior lobe of the pituitary, also called the neurohypophysis, is actually an outgrowth of the hypothalamus and is embryonically derived from the nervous system. Hormones are not secreted there but are stored and released. The hypothalamus and pituitary gland are in close proximity to each other. The two hormones released by the posterior lobe, oxytocin and vasopressin, are secreted in the hypothalamus by neurosecretory cells, and then released by the neurohypophysis (see Fig. 20-2). Oxytocin (from neurosecretory cells) stimulates the uterus to contract during delivery and helps to keep it contracted after delivery (to prevent hemorrhage). It also stimulates the release of milk from a new mother’s breasts."

The Adrenals: Little Gland, Big Trouble The adrenals are two little glands, about almond size that sit on top of the kidneys. The one on the right kidney has a triangular shape and the one on the left kidney has a sort of half moon shape. Each of the adrenals has different inner and outer parts or zones. The inner zone or the medulla is what secretes adrenalin and norepinephrine and just the right amount of dopamine. These are the stress hormones. The outer zone…… (cue Rod Serling)You’re traveling through another dimension — a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of the imagination."

The adrenal glands have a rich blood supply and experience one of the highest rates of blood flow in the body. They are served by several arteries branching off the aorta, including the suprarenal and renal arteries. Blood flows to each adrenal gland at the adrenal cortex and then drains into the adrenal medulla. Adrenal hormones are released into the circulation via the left and right suprarenal veins. Figure 1. Both adrenal glands sit atop the kidneys and are composed of an outer cortex and an inner medulla, all surrounded by a connective tissue capsule. The cortex can be subdivided into additional zones, all of which produce different types of hormones. LM × 204.

The endocrine system secretes hormones directly into the bloodstream. The primary glands of this system include: Hypothalamus Pineal gland Pituitary gland Thyroid gland Parathyroid glands Adrenal glands Pancreas Ovaries Testes These organs are not the only organs that secrete endocrine hormones; the digestive system, the kidneys, the liver and bone also excrete endocrine hormones. In addition, hormones are secreted by the exocrine system. Cells throughout the body use hormones to communicate. The thyroid, like every other gland, relies on other hormones to properly regulate its hormone production. When one gland or an organ is not working, the whole endocrine system becomes stressed. The follicular cells of the thyroid gland produce T3 and T4, and the pituitary gland produces TSH to regulate the thyroid hormone production."

Endocrine glands are glands whose secretions (called hormones) are collected by the blood and reach tissues through circulation. The hypophysis (pituitary gland) and the adrenal glands are examples of endocrine glands. Exocrine glands are a glands whose secretions are released externally through ducts (into the skin, the intestinal lumen, the mouth, etc.).

It is rightly associated with a multitude of health related problems brought on by chronic stress and the body's response to it. But that is only half the story. How much cortisol is circulating in your system at a given time, and how often, determines whether it is helping or harming your health oveall. What is Cortisol Cortisol is a steroid hormone, meaning it is a steroid that acts as a hormone. A steroid is an organic compound. Hormones are signalling molecules produced by the glands. Cortisol is produced in the adrenal cortex part of the adrenal glands. It is classified as a glucocorticoid, a hormone that plays a role in glucose, or blood sugar, metabolism."

The right gland is tetrahedral in shape and lies lower than the left, which is semilunar in shape and usually the larger of the two. Each gland weighs approximately 5 grams and measures approximately 50mm vertically, 30mm across and 10mm thick. When cut in half each gland consists of an outer cortex, yellow in colour and an inner medulla, which is dark red, or grey. The cortex consists of three distinct zones. They are: Zona glomerulosa Zona fasciculata Zona reticularis Diagram illustrating zones of adrenal cortex - click to enlarge Each zone has a characteristic histology and secretes different types of hormones. The zona glomerulosa secretes a mineralocorticoid (aldosterone) which is responsible for the regulation of salt and water balance in the body.

"text": "Alternative Title: noradrenaline Norepinephrine, also called noradrenaline, substance that is released predominantly from the ends of sympathetic nerve fibres and that acts to increase the force of skeletal muscle contraction and the rate and force of contraction of the heart. The actions of norepinephrine are vital to the fight-or-flight response, whereby the body prepares to react to or retreat from an acute threat. Norepinephrine is classified structurally as a catecholamine —it contains a catechol group (a benzene ring with two hydroxyl groups) bound to an amine (nitrogen-containing) group. The addition of a methyl group to the amine group of norepinephrine results in the formation of epinephrine, the other major mediator of the flight-or-flight response. Relative to epinephrine, which is produced and stored primarily in the adrenal glands, norepinephrine is stored in small amounts in adrenal tissue. Its major site of storage and release are the neurons of the sympathetic nervous system (a branch of the autonomic nervous system ). Thus, norepinephrine functions mainly as a neurotransmitter with some function as a hormone (being released into the bloodstream from the adrenal glands). Norepinephrine, similar to other catecholamines, is generated from the amino acid tyrosine. Norepinephrine exerts its effects by binding to α- and β-adrenergic receptors (or adrenoceptors, so named for their reaction to the adrenal hormones) in different tissues. In the blood vessels, it triggers vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels), which increases blood pressure."

The body can be equipped to face these changes under the influence of the adrenal glands. These yellow, asymmetrical organs, located suprarenally and bilaterally in the retroabdominal cavity, are responsible for secreting stress hormones that stimulates the physiological adaptations necessary to mitigate the change in the external environment. Adrenal gland This article will evaluate the development of the adrenal glands, the relationship between its structure and function, neurovascular and lymphatic components and some pathological conditions that they are associated with. Embryology The adrenal glands have two embryonic origins, and consequently produce two different types of signalling chemicals. The outer cortex is of mesodermal origin and releases steroidal hormones, while the inner medulla is derived from ectoderm and secretes adrenergic neurotransmitters (also known as catecholamines). In the 5th developmental week, mesothelial cells enter the mesenchymal layer. Subsequently, large acidophilic cells differentiate, forming a primitive cortex. Smaller cells then migrate and engulf the acidophilic cells; these will go on to form the definitive cortex. Recommended video: What is a gland?"

In atrophy of an organ or body part, there may be a reduction in the number or in the size of the component cells, or in both. One example of atrophy is the progressive loss of bone that occurs in osteoporosis (normal bone shown on left; osteoporotic bone shown on right). © International Osteoporosis Foundation Certain cells and organs normally undergo atrophy at certain ages or under certain physiologic circumstances. In the human embryo, for example, a number of structures are transient and at birth have already undergone atrophy. The adrenal glands become smaller shortly after birth because an inner layer of the cortex has shrunk. The thymus and other lymphoid tissues atrophy at adolescence. The pineal gland tends to atrophy about the time of puberty; usually calcium deposits, or concretions, form in the atrophic tissue. The widespread atrophy of many tissues that accompanies advanced age, although universal, is influenced by changes of nutrition and blood supply that occur during active mature life."

Hormones are synthesized in one type of cell and then released to direct the function of other cell types. All multicellular organisms (including plants) produce hormones. The best known hormones are those produced by endocrine glands of vertebrate animals, but hormones are produced by nearly every organ system and tissue type in a human or animal body. Hormones are chemical substances made by endocrine glands. These glands pass the hormones directly into the bloodstream, which carries them around the body. In this way, a hormone can cause a change in the body at some distance from the gland where it was made. Hormones are at the center of control for a myriad of biochemical reactions and metabolism. A great number of hormones have been identified in the human body and have been found to be secreted by a number of different organs."

Hormones act as \"\"messengers,\"\" and are carried by the bloodstream to different cells in the body, which interpret these messages and act on them. It seems like a far fetched idea that a small chemical can enter the bloodstream and cause an action at a distant location in the body. Yet this occurs in our bodies every day of our lives. The ability to maintain homeostasis and respond to stimuli is largely due to hormones secreted within the body. Without hormones, you could not grow, maintain a constant temperature, produce offspring, or perform the basic actions and functions that are essential for life. The endocrine system provides an electrochemical connection from the hypothalamus of the brain to all the organs that control the body metabolism, growth and development, and reproduction. There are two types of hormones secreted in the endocrine system: Steroidal (or lipid based) and non-steroidal, (or protein based) hormones. The endocrine system regulates its hormones through negative feedback, except in very specific cases like childbirth. Increases in hormone activity decrease the production of that hormone."

Describe the pathologic characteristics of neurogenic tumors in the abdomen.•. Recognize the typical clinical and imaging findings in these tumors. Introduction Section: Choose prevnext Various types of neurogenic tumors can affect the abdomen. These tumors can be classified as being of ganglion cell origin (ganglioneuromas, ganglioneuroblastomas, neuroblastomas), paraganglionic system origin (pheochromocytomas, paragangliomas), or nerve sheath origin (neurilemmomas, neurofibromas, neurofibromatosis, malignant nerve sheath tumors) ( 1 – 3 ). Abdominal neurogenic tumors usually follow the distribution of the sympathetic ganglia along paraspinal areas or arise from the adrenal medulla or the organ of Zuckerkandl. Occasionally, however, other sites in the abdomen (eg, urinary bladder, bowel wall, abdominal wall, gallbladder) can be involved ( 3 ). The urinary bladder is an unusual site of involvement because the trigone of the bladder contains cells of neural crest origin. The optimal treatment for abdominal neurogenic tumors is surgical removal when they are localized with no evidence of distant metastasis. Recently, laparoscopic surgery has been used ( 4, 5 ). Thus, accurate preoperative localization and characterization of neurogenic tumor is important in allowing a direct surgical approach. Although all neurogenic tumors have similar clinical and radiologic findings, predominant or specific features are present in each type."

"text": "\"Animal Science 434 - 2/3/98Integration of Body Functions Nervous System The nervous system is a rapid communication network which serves to detect stimuli and coordinate responses to stimuli. The basic \"\"circuitry\"\" of the nervous system involves sensory nerves that detect and transmit information about a stimulus to the brain. The brain is a very complex network of nerve cells that processes the information and transmit a response to an effector organ via motor nerves. In most cases the effector organ is a muscle. Some noxious stimuli, such as a hot burner, require an immediate response if injury is to be avoided. In this case, a rapid \"\"reflexive\"\" response occurs in which the relatively slow brain processing step is eliminated. The functional unit of the nervous system is the nerve cell, or neuron. Although their size, shape and biochemical characteristics vary considerably, their basic morphology is similar. A neuron consists of a cell body that contains the nucleus, a single long slender process called the axon, and several dendrites which are processes of the cell body. The dendrites are similar to the axon but are generally shorter."

Answered May 5, 2013 · Author has 180 answers and 409.5k answer views Alkali metals are known for being some of the most reactive metals. This is due in part to their larger atomic radii and low ionization energies. They tend to donate their electrons in reactions and often have an oxidation state of +1. These metals are characterized as being extremely soft and silvery in color. They also have low boiling and melting points and are less dense than most elements. Li, Na, and K have the ability to float on water because of their low density. All of these characteristics can be attributed to the large atomic radii and weak metallic bonding these elements possess. Group 1 elements have a valence electron configuration is ns1 and are good reducing agents (meaning they are easily oxidized). All of the alkali metals are found naturally in nature, but not in their pure forms. Most combine with oxygen and silica to form minerals in the Earth and are readily mined as they are of relatively low densitys and thus do not sink.15.7k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private."

Newlands, an English chemist and Mendeleev, a Russian chemist both worked on the problem by arranging the elements or order of their atomic weight (mass) and looking for patterns in their properties. Both were successful to some extent, but Mendeleev was much more successful because.a) He recognized that there were some elements still to be discovered, so he left gaps in his tableb) He was not afraid to change the order of some elements in the table where it seemed to make sense.c) He was able use the table to successfully predict the properties of some elements which had not yet been discovered. Later when more elements had been discovered and chemists realized that the elements should be in order of atomic number rather than atomic mass, Mendeleev’s Table was shown to be extremely successful. The Modern Table The periodic tables patterns are now known to be based on the structure of the atom. Elements in the periodic table are arranged in order of atomic number (number of protons in the nucleus)The group number of an element shows the number of electrons in the outer shell. The period number shows the number of shells of electronse.g. Sodium is element number 11 and has the structure 2.8.1 It therefore has 11 protons, it is in Group1, period 3 of the periodic table. GROUP 1 , The Alkali Metals. ( Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr)Similarities1) All elements have 1 electron in the outer shell: Li: 2.1 Na: 2.8.1 K: 2.8.8.1 etc.2) For this reason they all form 1+ ions when they react: Ions are Li +, Na +, K +etc.3) They have similar physical properties."

The alkali metals are so reactive that they are never found in nature in elemental form. Although some of their ores are abundant, isolating them from their ores is somewhat difficult. For these reasons, the group 1 elements were unknown until the early 19th century, when Sir Humphry Davy first prepared sodium (Na) and potassium (K) by passing an electric current through molten alkalis. ( The ashes produced by the combustion of wood are largely composed of potassium and sodium carbonate.) Lithium (Li) was discovered 10 years later when the Swedish chemist Johan Arfwedson was studying the composition of a new Brazilian mineral. Cesium (Cs) and rubidium (Rb) were not discovered until the 1860s, when Robert Bunsen conducted a systematic search for new elements. Known to chemistry students as the inventor of the Bunsen burner, Bunsen’s spectroscopic studies of ores showed sky blue and deep red emission lines that he attributed to two new elements, Cs and Rb, respectively. Francium (Fr) is found in only trace amounts in nature, so our knowledge of its chemistry is limited."

They constitute alkali metals because they readily dissolve in water to form hydroxides, which are strongly alkaline in nature. They also form alkaline oxides. The element francium is radioactive. Occurrence Lithium occurs mainly as silicate minerals such as spodumene [Li Al (Si O3) 2 ], lepidolite [ (Li,Na,K) 2 Al 2 , (Si O 3) 3 (F,OH) 2] etc. It is the 35 t hmost abundant element by weight. Compounds of sodium and potassium have been known from ancient times. Sodium and potassium are seventh and eighth most abundant elements by weight in the Earth's crust and together make up over 4% of the Earth's crust by weight. Na Cl and KCl also occur in large amounts in seawater. Rock salt (Na Cl) is the major source of sodium."

Atoms want to be stable. 2 electrons in the outermost s-orbital is stable. Alkali metals, in Group 1 of the Periodic table, have only 1 electron in the outermost s-orbital, therefore they are very reactive. They want to give that electron away, giving them an oxidation state of +1. Because of their high reactivity, they must be stored under oil to prevent reaction with air. They are soft silvery metals, found naturally only in salts (not as the free elements). They are called alkali metals, because they react with water to form alkalies (strong bases capable of neutralizing acids) and hydrogen gas.

In this context, alkali is referred to the alkali metals. Alkali Alkali term is commonly used for the metals in the group 1 of the periodic table. These are also known as alkali metals. Although H is also included in this group, it is somewhat different. Therefore, lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), Rubidium (Rb), Cesium (Cs), and Francium (Fr) are members of this group. Alkali metals are soft, shiny, silvery color metals. They all have only one electron in their outer shell, and they like to remove this and form +1 cations. When the outer most electrons are excited, it comes back to the ground state while emitting radiation in the visible range. The emission of this electron is easy, thus alkali metals are very reactive."

Follow Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The alkali metals are a group in the periodic table consisting of the chemical elements lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), caesium (Cs), [note 1] and francium (Fr). This group lies in the s-block of the periodic table as all alkali metals have their outermost electron in an s-orbital. The alkaline earth metals are a group of chemical elements in the periodic table with very similar properties: they are all shiny, silvery-white, somewhat reactive metals at standard temperature and pressure and readily lose their two outermost electrons to form cations with charge +2. The alkaline earth metals are beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), and radium (Ra). This group lies in the s-block of the periodic table as all alkaline earth metals have their outermost electron in an s-orbital. In chemistry, the term transition metal (or transition element) has two possible meanings: The IUPAC definition states that a transition metal is \"\"an element whose atom has an incomplete d sub-shell, or which can give rise to cations with an incomplete d sub-shell\"\". Most scientists describe a \"\"transition metal\"\" as any element in the d-block of the periodic table, which includes groups 3 to 12 on the periodic table. All elements in the d-block are metals. In actual practice, the f-block is also included in the form of the lanthanide and actinide series."

By Henri Bauholz; Updated April 24, 2017The word alkaline has an unique etymology, for it is derived from the Arabic word, al qaliy, which refers to the calcined ashes that were combined with animal fat to make soap. Today, alkaline is often defined as being the opposite of acidic, also called basic. However, scientifically speaking, alkaline has a much narrower definition, for it refers to substances derived from two columns or groups on the Periodic Chart and the various salts and compounds that can be formed from these elements. This article will be mainly concerned with the scientific definition of alkaline. The Periodic Chart The Periodic Chart is a chart of all of the elements that occur in nature (in recent years this chart has grown to also include a few man-made elements such as plutonium). At first glimpse the layout of the chart may appear random, but in fact the layout is far from random, for each vertical column contains a series of related elements. On the far right of the Periodic Chart one will find the elements lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium and francium. These are the alkali elements. The next line over consists of the elements beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium, which form the group of elements that are known as alkaline earth metals."

This group lies in the s-block of the periodic table of elements as all alkali metals have their outermost electron in an s-orbital: this shared electron configuration results in their having very similar characteristic properties. Indeed, the alkali metals provide the best example of group trends in properties in the periodic table, with elements exhibiting well-characterised homologous behaviour. The alkali metals are all shiny, soft, highly reactive metals at standard temperature and pressure and readily lose their outermost electron to form cations with charge +1. They can all be cut easily with a knife due to their softness, exposing a shiny surface that tarnishes rapidly in air due to oxidation by atmospheric moisture and oxygen (and in the case of lithium, nitrogen ). Because of their high reactivity, they must be stored under oil to prevent reaction with air, and are found naturally only in salts and never as the free elements. Caesium, the fifth alkali metal, is the most reactive of all the metals. In the modern IUPAC nomenclature, the alkali metals comprise the group 1 elements, [note 3] excluding hydrogen (H), which is nominally a group 1 element but not normally considered to be an alkali metal as it rarely exhibits behaviour comparable to that of the alkali metals. All the alkali metals react with water, with the heavier alkali metals reacting more vigorously than the lighter ones. All of the discovered alkali metals occur in nature as their compounds: in order of abundance, sodium is the most abundant, followed by potassium, lithium, rubidium, caesium, and finally francium, which is very rare due to its extremely high radioactivity; francium occurs only in the minutest traces in nature as an intermediate step in some obscure side branches of the natural decay chains."

The Amish are a specific religious denomination, descended from followers of Jakob Ammann, a seventeenth-century Anabaptist. ( Anabaptists generally were people who broke with the Catholic tradition of infant baptism, believing that the decision to be baptized was an adult one). Ammann came from Alsace, an area presently divided between Germany and France, but it would have been German-speaking at the time. Mennonites are so called because their founder was Menno Simons, another Anabaptist, who lived in the sixteenth century. Moravians (though Moravia is now part of the Czech Republic) are another Germanic Anabaptist sect who established a substantial presence in the Appalachian foothills. The city of Bethlehem was founded by Moravians. The Protestant Reformation, which established the Lutheran church, challenged the influence of the Roman Catholic church, but didn't do a whole lot for the Anabaptists. They found the religious tolerance offered by \"\"Penn's Woods\"\" attractive and Pennsylvania became the home to settlers from all these groups, as well as some Lutherans and Catholics from other areas of Germany.

"text": "What is Pennsylvania Dutch? Pennsylvania Dutch is an American language that developed from the immigration of German speakers to colonial Pennsylvania. Many scholars and some speakers of the language call it Pennsylvania German in order to emphasize its historical connection with German rather than the Dutch (Netherlandic) language. Though it is widely believed that the Dutch in Pennsylvania Dutch is due to a mistranslation of the word Deitsch (or Deutsch, in standard German), that is not correct. In earlier British and American English, both Dutch and German could refer to speakers of what we would today call German. The term Dutch had more of an informal ring than German, so since most active speakers of Pennsylvania Dutch have been rural dwellers of modest social status, they have typically identified themselves as Dutch rather than German when speaking English. Also, very quickly, the Pennsylvania Dutch came to view themselves as distinct from European Germans, as well as German Americans, whom they called Deitschlenner (literally, ‘Germany people’). In Pennsylvania Dutch itself, the word Deitsch can be translated as either ‘Pennsylvania Dutch’ or ‘German’. See the 1950 article by Dr. Don Yoder, “‘Pennsylvania Dutch’ … Or ‘Pennsylvania German’?”Dr. Yoder, who was the leading figure in Pennsylvania Dutch studies, passed away on August 11, 2015, at the age of 93."

Why did so many Germans migrate to North America? During the 1600s and 1700s, wars ravaged Germany. Marching armies trampled down fields of grain, stole cattle, and burned down farmsteads. In their wake, famines spread over the land. Taxes, levied to pay for the war, added to the people's plight. Religious disputes also drove people to leave their homes."

There is a large group of people in this country, as many as 100,000, who will never see the How Stuff Works Web site because they don't have computers, don't have the electricity to run computers, and don't want the electricity to run computers. These folks get around in horse-drawn buggies and use lanterns for light. The people to whom I refer are collectively known as \"\"the Amish.\"\" That the Amish have been able to maintain an 18th century lifestyle in a 21st century world is amazing!In this article, we will explore how and why the Amish live as they do. You may have heard of the Amish from the film \"\"Witness\"\" starring Harrison Ford and Kelly Mc Gillis. This is a work of entertainment and not a documentary of Amish life. You may also have heard that the Amish are \"\"stuck in time,\"\" but this is not true, either, as you will see. If you have actually visited \"\"Amish Country,\"\" then you may know a little more about these people. The Amish are not easy to get acquainted with because their religious beliefs require separation from the non-Amish world."

The groups included Swiss Mennonites, Baptist Dunkers, Schwenkfelders, Moravians, Amish, and Waldensians; most German immigrants belonged to the main Lutheran and Reformed churches. The central colonies received the greatest part of this immigration, especially Pennsylvania . As many as half of these immigrants came as redemptioners, that is, they agreed to work in America for four to seven years in exchange for free passage across the Atlantic. German settlers designed and built the Conestoga wagon, which was used in the opening of the American Frontier.1731 - Protestants were expelled from Salzburg, Austria, in this year.

"text": "\"View Gallery Plan Your Pennsylvania Dutch Country Vacation Check-in Check-out Guests Rooms Search Hotels Photo: John Wollwerth / Shutterstock Plan Your Pennsylvania Dutch Country Vacation Neatly-painted farmhouses dot the countryside of Lancaster County, nearly 65 miles west of Philadelphia. Whitewashed fences outline pastures, and the landscape looks like a patchwork quilt of squares and rectangles. On the back roads the Amish travel in horse-drawn buggies and lead a lifestyle that has been carried on for generations, while a new group of makers and artisans are transforming the downtown areas into buzzy culture hubs. Here the plain and fancy live side by side. You can glimpse what rural life was like 100 years ago, because whole communities of the \"\"Plain\"\" people—as members of the Old Order Amish are called—shun telephones, electricity, and the entire world of American gadgetry. Clinging to a centuries-old way of life, the Amish, one of the most conservative of the Pennsylvania Dutch sects, eschew the amenities of modern civilization, using kerosene or gas lamps instead of electric lighting, and horse-drawn carriages instead of automobiles. Ironically, in turning their backs on the modern world, the Amish have attracted its attention. Today the county's main roads are lined with souvenir shops and sometimes crowded with busloads of tourists. The area's proximity to Philadelphia, Harrisburg, and Baltimore has brought development as non-Amish farmers sell land. In fact, the National Trust for Historic Preservation has put Lancaster County on its list of the nation's most endangered historic places because of rapid suburbanization."

A lot of words I recognize, like couch, 17, etc. Update: Then why do they have so many of the same words in English? Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The Amish are bilingual, and some are trilingual. Their first language is a German dialect often referred to as Pennsylvania Dutch. It is comprised of about 75% German and 25% English, which is why you probably recognize some of the words, and is spoken with a local accent. All Amish speak this dialect, regardless of if they live in PA or some other state. The Amish all learn English when they attend school. Adults and teens are fluent English speakers. Some Amish also learn to speak High German, and most at least understand it because it is the language used in their religious services."

"text": "\"Who are the Amish? The roots of the Amish and Mennonite beliefs and practices extend back hundreds of years, to the time of the Protestant Reformation in Europe. In 1525, the Anabaptist movement began. Eventually, the first Amish immigrant left Switzerland and came to America, where they settled first in Pennsylvania and as numbers spread, came to Iowa, bringing some customs with them and leaving others behind. One thing the Amish brought with them was the Ordnung, or rules for living. These rules explain the reasoning behind living the plain life, and forbids many things, including color in clothing or on walls, and other material things in life. The Bishops of each district also give members another set of rules. As of 2010, there are seven districts in Kalona. The Amish have their own schools that are supervised by the consolidated district of Mid Prairie Schools. Those outside the faith, referred to by the Amish as \"\"English,\"\" are often curious about the Amish and why they forego modern amenities?"

C. Wenger's comprehensive essay from the mid-1950s and Robert Kreider's 1989 update. Both articles focus primarily on Mennonites in the United States, though they describe a number of Mennonite groups in Ontario, and small Mennonite groups located elsewhere in Canada . ] 1956 Article Introduction Distinctive religious costumes have been worn by custom or by requirement by many and varied groups in Christian history; for example, by religious and monastic orders (monks and nuns), clergy of various ranks, and Salvation Army workers. Special garments have been prescribed for certain important religious occasions such as baptism, confirmation, weddings, and funerals. However, none of these has been directly based on the Scriptures and none has had any bearing or influence on Mennonite distinctive costume or dress regulations. It is difficult at times to determine, either in Europe or America, whether what seems to have been (and may still be) a distinctive Mennonite item of costume is the result of deliberate choice on religious grounds established and maintained by action of the church, or is purely a sociological phenomenon such as the retention of older forms of costume because of resistance to change. Much of the peculiarly Mennonite costume and clothing regulation is probably of the latter character. For most Mennonites, with the exception of Holland and the North German city congregations, have been rural, and rural people have been notorious for their resistance to change, particularly in earlier times before modern urban culture penetrated rural areas, as well as in current pockets of cultural isolation. Religious sanctions have, of course, often been imposed to maintain earlier costume forms, and at times even Biblical sanctions by specific verses have been claimed, sometimes with a faulty exegesis or application of quite irrelevant passages (e.g., \"\" boots \"\" from the German of Ephesians 6:15, \"\"an den Beinen gestiefelt,\"\" or the beard requirement from Leviticus 19:27, \"\" [not] mar the corners of thy beard,\"\" etc.). Actually, the customs or traditions originated first, to be reinforced later by church sanctions."

"text": "\"by Mark Biernat Language of the Amish – Speak Pennsylvania Dutch The Amish of America speak a hybrid dialect called Pennsylvania Dutch or Pennsylvania German. It is a Germanic language with a good amount of English mixed in. If you sit and listen to two Amish speaking, you may be surprised that what seems like every fifth or tenth or twentieth word is actually English. Occasionally you find you can sort of follow along as they speak. PA Dutch is a largely unwritten language. When the Amish write notes and letters to one another, they usually use English. Amish farmers saying hello in PA Dutch. You can almost understand it because of the similarity to English. But the typical Amish child will not speak much or any English until he or she reaches school age. PA Dutch is the first language they learn as toddlers, and the language that most Amish are most comfortable conversing in."

"text": "April 4, 2013 by dhgbeth Why is “Pennsylvania Dutch” called “Dutch”? What’s that language that the Amish speak? It’s called “Pennsylvania Dutch” or just “Dutch”. It confusing because it’s not the Dutch that people in Holland speak – it’s a dialect of German. So why is everything in Amish country is called “Dutch” when the dialect spoken is really German? This will require a short history lesson, so bear with us. Deutschland, the homeland The original Anabaptist Christian movement (meaning “re-baptizers”) began in the 1500’s in German-speaking Switzerland. Many Anabaptists lived in the mountains around Bern, Switzerland, the Alsace-Lorraine and the German Palatinate. In 1693, a conservative sect of these Swiss Anabaptists broke away from the main branch and followed the teachings of Jakob Amman, later known as the Amish. The main branch of the movement was eventually called the Mennonites, after a priest from Holland named Menno Simons."

"text": "\"Rose De Witt Bukater wearing the Heart of the Ocean. The Heart of the Ocean was a rather large, heavy and as Rose De Witt Bukater said an overwhelming necklace that disappeared on the Titanic. It is based off the real Hope Diamond. The origins of the necklace date back to revolutionary France when it was worn by Louis the XVI and was known as the Blue Diamond of the Crown. When the revolution occured in 1789, Louis was executed and the French monarchy disestablished. From that point on it had disappeared and presumed destroyed. Also during this time, it went under significant changes. It was cut to be smaller, and fastened into the pendant it became to be in 1912. It's name also changed to Le Cœur de la Mer, or The Heart of the Ocean. By 1912, Nathan Hockley had purchased it for his son Caledon to give to his fiance Rose De Witt Bukater as an engagment present that Cal originally planned to bequeath to Rose at their rehearsal gala."

Sid Vicious (real name John Beverly) wasn't an original member of the Pistols, but rather joined the band after original bassist, Glen Matlock dropped out after personality clashes with lead singer Rotten. On stage, Sid (often stripped to the waist) would incite the audience to get wilder and more frenzied, and his infamous antics included spitting and spraying beer into the audience. The British establishment despised the Pistols with a passion, and Sid was viewed as a crude, foul mouthed hoodlum corrupting English youth with his unclean image. Unfortunately for a naive Sid, he fell into the company of alleged drug user, Nancy Spungen, and his world spiralled out of control leading to the break up of the Pistols (their last show being in San Francisco), and Sid's lame attempts to kick start his own solo career, which included a demented cover of the popular Frank Sinatra song \"\"My Way\"\", accompanied by a violent video clip. Vicious and Spungen took up residency in the Chelsea Hotel in New York City in early 1978, however their self destructive personalities meant a tragedy was fast approaching, and on October 12th 1978, Spungen was found dead in their hotel room from stab wounds. Vicious was charged by police with Spungen's murder and released on bail, pending trial. However, only four months later in February 1979, Vicious himself was found dead of a heroin overdose. Sid was dead at aged 21. His will requested his ashes be poured over Nancy's grave at the King David Cemetery in Bucks County, Pennsylvania."

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Health Death and Dying Burial and Cremation Do ashes from cremation contain DNA? Flag Do ashes from cremation contain DNA? Answer by Alvella Hutcheson Confidence votes 36Because no two funeral homes or crematoriums are the same, the only way to know if DNA is present in cremated remains is to test them in a laboratory that specializes and uses the latest technology in forensic cremation. Finding DNA in cremated remains is contingent upon the amount of oxygen that was available, length of time in, and of course the temperature of, the incinerator. These all drastically vary because each funeral home & crematorium have different models and types of incinerators and each will vary in age and quality of maintenance which will affect the overall effectiveness of the cremation. No funeral home or crematorium have the same incinerator and do not cremate a body the same way. The majority of the cremated remains sent and tested by Private Lab Results typically will have large fragmented bone and or teeth that can be tested for trace amounts of DNA. In the past five years new research has greatly heightened forensic scientists' knowledge of how to detect and extract DNA from skeletal remains that have been subjected to extreme heat. However, most forensic scientists and laboratories around the world still struggle to retrieve usable DNA. This is because many do not have access to, or are unaware of, new alternative approaches which can undeniably increase the amount and quality of DNA information drawn from cremated human remains."

[ 1] Cremation may serve as a funeral or post-funeral rite as an alternative to the interment of an intact dead body in a coffin or casket. Cremated remains (aka \"\"cremains\"\" or simply, \"\"ashes\"\"), [2] [3] which do not constitute a health risk, may be buried or interred in memorial sites or cemeteries, or they may be retained by relatives and dispersed in various ways. Cremation is an alternative in place of burial or other forms of disposal in funeral practices. Some families prefer to have the deceased present at the funeral with cremation to follow; others prefer that the cremation occur prior to the funeral or memorial service. In many countries, cremation is usually done in a crematorium. Some countries, such as India and Nepal, prefer different methods, such as open-air cremation.

Ever since he’d first met Shawn, he’d been curious as to why he always seemed to wear a necklace with beads on it. Sometimes Shawn wore it out in the open, other times it was tucked safely away under his shirt, and Lassiter wanted to know why. After all Shawn wore the thing like it was a wedding ring! All it was, was a piece of brown twine with two beads. One blue, and one pink. Why was Lassiter so curious? He didn’t even know. But he knew he had to figure it out or he wouldn’t be able to focus on anything really important. So when Spencer showed up at the precinct striding up to his desk with pineapple smoothie in hand, Lassiter decided to satisfy his growing curiosity. “"

You want passion and adventure, and even a little danger... ”— Damon ' s first words to Elena in The Departed The relationship between the cured vampire / humandoppelgänger, Elena Gilbert and the curedvampire / human, Damon Salvatore , is a complicated, but a popular and powerful romantic pairing, and a significant relationship in the series . Though initially started on antagonistic terms, their relationship develops throughout the series. He was the narcissistic evil vampire, who came to town to seek revenge on his younger brother, who Elena happened to develop an interest in. When everyone had written Damon off as a bad guy who couldn't be redeemed, Elena, who was unafraid of him and willing to call him on his crap, saw something in him that hinted he wasn't entirely evil. And so there marked the start of a tentative friendship. Over the seasons, their bond continues to grow, from becoming allies to friends, to best friends and, ultimately, lovers. He’s always saving her from danger and she’s saving him from his dark self, they both care deeply for each other, regardless of any obstacles that may come in their way They both love each other with a passion that consumes them. For him, she is the best thing that has ever happened to him in his life."

There are so many decisions to be made and you can be overwhelmed by this, especially if a death has already occurred. This brief guide to arranging a funeral or cremation in New Mexico aims to provide a starting point and give you an overview of some of the main things you need to consider, including New Mexico funeral legislation rules. Whilst the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) does govern how funeral homes operate, this is superseded by New Mexico state law. Who is responsible for making the funeral arrangements in New Mexico? New Mexico law determines who can make the funeral arrangements [New Mexico Statutes § 45-3-701]. This is determined as:1. your surviving spouse (if you have not filed for divorce)2. a majority of your adult children3. your parents4. a majority of your siblings5."

"text": "\"Ancient Hellenic Burial Rites by Fotopoulou Sophia Archived in Culture section | Latest Approved Revision on: Mon. 08/12/2002Who knows then whether Life be not Death, and what we here call Death be called Life there below? In ancient Greece the myth and cult of death is centred on the different beliefs concerning the inherent nature and fate of the psyche. Although \"\"psyche\"\" is often translated as \"\"soul,\"\" that is too simplistic to be entirely correct. The psyche was the life force that combined with the body made a person human. One could see evidence of the psyche in the phenomena of dreaming, ecstatic states and fainting, when it left the body, usually temporarily. The psyche was often thought to occupy the midriff. Whenever it became visible, it took the form of a snake. The snake appears throughout Greek mythology, as a soul, a chthonic entity, an ancestor or a house spirit. Almost every custom associated with death and burial that was practiced by the average Greek shows a belief in the continuance of the soul after death."

I was walking through a hallway by myself and a big man grabbed me and dragged me into a side hallway, where there were no people. On the wall was a machine about head-high like a gas mask sticking out of the wall. He shoved my face into this thing that was mould-like which clamped over my nose. He told me to 'breathe deep' and though I couldn't smell anything, I felt myself passing out. When I awoke, I was standing in the middle of a crowded room - full of kids and adults and I looked like a life-size blue dog cartoon character and I was giving a speech to all those people. Behind me were two other life-size dog-like cartoon characters who were also going to speak to the people when I was finished. I don't know what I said and I woke up at that point. I don't watch cartoons so I don't know who these cartoon characters were either."

For example seat 1 in section \"\"5\"\" would be on the aisle next to section \"\"4\"\" and the highest seat number in section \"\"5\"\" would be on the aisle next to section \"\"6\"\". For theaters and amphitheaters (i.e. venues that don't have sections around the entire stage) seat numbers follow a different logic. Instead the lower numbered seats are typically closer to the center of the stage while higher seat numbers are further from the center of the stage.

For example, obstructed view seats at New Amsterdam Theatre would be listed for the buyer to consider (or review) prior to purchase.

"text": "Return to Theatre Index Return to Main Page On October 4, 1996 the Ambassador Theater in St. Louis was demolished. It passed with little notice, except by those, like myself, who had wondered at it and tried to save this survivor of 70 years. I was working for the State Office of Historic Preservation at the time, but my efforts went against city hall and proved fruitless – see my article, “The Ambassador Theatre: An Endangered Species”, Missouri Preservation News, Fall, 1977. My first experience in the Ambassador was also my first in any movie theater at a time when many Movie Palaces were beginning to fall to the wrecking ball. I was a child when I stepped into its palatial “Franco-Spanish Carnival” lobby, but when I saw the silver-gilt and crystal fantasy set with colorful “jewels” and dripping with heavy teal-blue velvet drapes I knew that this place, this experience of going to the movies, was something special, one that I would never forget. The exterior and lobby of the Ambassador theatre, St. Louis, MO. The Theatre images in this section are taken from postcards andpersonal photographs in my collection. In the auditorium, Stan Kann at the “Mighty Wurlitzer” organ filled the huge enclosure with the overture to the first in the series of “Cinerama” movies. As my mother and I settled into the plush velvet seats, I asked her in a whisper if this was a castle because there was a coat of arms over the stage. She laughed and said no, but as the lights dimmed I felt as excited and special as a princess in the fairyland of that beautiful theater."

Showing the battle between good and evil, Mickey and various Evil personas from the Disney Movies and of course Mickey is the victor. Every time Fantasmic! is shown, Mickey wins. What a wonderful world, and what a fantastic imagination Mickey Mouse has!The bright colors, beautiful music, and water screens standing so tall make this a show that everyone needs to see at least once. I have had the opportunity to see this show many times. The first time, when Fantasmic! premiered, we sat up against the rail at the Rivers of America for almost 2 hours to have a front row center seat. I still remember feeling the cold from the water screens, and the heat from the fire."

The landscape is very rugged and mountainous here with small fishing villages and many, sometimes deserted, sandy beaches. The Sithonia Peninsula is a popular holiday destination for both Greeks and foreign tourists. The capitol of the peninsula is Nikiti. There are some interesting sites on Sithonia like the ancient city of Torini, which dates from the 8th century BC. One of the most popular resorts is Vourvourou which is located in the northeast of the Sithonia peninsula at 120 kilometers distance of Thessaloniki en 10 kilometers south of the town of Agios Nikolaos. Here you will find a pretty nature, beautiful white sandy beaches and the most beautiful blue water. Vourvourou has about 150 permanent residents, but in high season the village attracts many tourists. You will find many shops, mini markets and there is plenty of choice in restaurants and accommodations. In front of Vourvourou there are nine islands in the sea, making it a very picturesque sight."

"text": "The Michigan Theater was built for the Kunsky circuit in 1926 by Chicago-based firm Rapp & Rapp, in their traditional French Renaissance style, and sat over 4,000 in its cavernous auditorium. It cost over $5 million and was extravagantly elegant. The Michigan’s four-story lobby was decorated with a set of huge chandeliers, towering columns painted to resemble multi-colored marble, and oil-paintings and sculpture from Europe. Its grand staircase swept up-wards to a mezzanine level complete with a sitting area with antique furniture and another staircase led to the balcony levels. The auditorium featured a large orchestra pit, and a $50,000 Wurlitzer organ. Its stage was large enough to accommodate the most elaborate stage shows of the day. Opening day August 23, 1926 featured the film, “You’ll Never Know Women”. The first sound film at the Michigan Theater was in 1928, “Sawdust Paradise”. In 1933, United Detroit Theaters acquired the Michigan from Paramount-Publix/Balaban & Katz, who had in turn, purchased it from Kunsky. By the end of the 1930’s, both the live stage shows and the grand Wurlitzer organ were gone, and the theater featured only movies."

The chic lobby makes a great first impression, with its stylish seating and understated gray palette complemented by pops of teal blue. Attracting a blend of couples, families, and business travelers, the hotel does a solid job of catering to a diverse crowd. The large pool, kids’ club, and crowd-pleasing array of restaurants are a great fit for families.

A: Quick Answer There are seven basic crystal shapes: cubic (isometric), tetragonal, orthorhombic, hexagonal, trigonal, triclinic and monoclinic. A crystal's shape is determined by one of seven crystal lattice systems, which are used to describe the crystal's geometric symmetry. Continue Reading Keep Learning Why Do Crystals Have Different Shapes? What Are Different Types of Crystalline Structures? What Is the Difference Between Diamond and Graphite? Full Answer All crystals can be described by the Bravais Crystal Lattices, an assemblage of types of crystal lattices and the rules that define them. Isometric crystals are defined by one lattice point on each corner of a cube, and each lattice point divided congruently between eight adjacent cubes. Tetragonal crystals result from rectangular prisms with a square base, caused by stretching one cubic lattice along a vector. When stretched along two cubic vectors, an orthorhombic crystal results, wherein a rectangular prism has a rectangular base."

This line is a symmetry line for the figure. The capital letters A, B, C, D, E, H, I, K, M, O, T, U, V, W, X, and Y are often written as reflection symmetric figures. Some are symmetric about a horizontal line (BCDEHIKOX) whereas others are symmetric about a vertical line (AHIMOTUVWXY). As you can see since some are in both lists (HIOX), there may be more than one line of symmetry. A challenge would be to find words such as DIXIE or COOKBOOK composed entirely of letters with a horizontal line of symmetry or MOM, WAXY, YOUTH (written vertically!) composed entirely of letters with a vertical line of symmetry. After collecting enough of these words you might make them into a crossword puzzle (for extra credit)!Our textbook states and proves what they call the Flip-Flop Theorem: (reflection is symmetric). If F and G are points/figures, and r l (F)=G, then r l (G)=F . From this it can be proved that every segment has two lines of symmetry: itself and its perpendicular bisector."

A prism is a three-dimensional transparent object which has flat surfaces. It is made up of at least three flat and polished surfaces. In prism, there are at least two surfaces that are inclined at an angle from each other. In geometry, there are different types of prisms - Triangular prisms, rectangular prisms, polygonal prisms etc. Even, cubes and cuboids are examples of prisms. Here, we are going to study about triangular prisms. A traditional triangular prism is a solid figure which is made up of two triangular bases and three rectangular faces. The two triangular bases face each other and are joined together with the help of three rectangles. Triangular prism is the most useful prism in geometry as well as in optical physics."

L ateral A rea is often abbreviated L. A. Imagine a soup can. Now cut down the side of the can and roll it flat. What was the circumference of the base is now the length of a rectangle. To find the area of this rectangle which is the same as the lateral area, multiply this length by the width, which was the height of the can. Lateral Area of a prism: perimeter × height Lateral Area of a cylinder: circumference × height. Lateral Area of a regular pyramid: ½ perimeter × slant height. Lateral Area of a right cone: ½ perimeter × slant height. The lateral area of a regular pyramid or right cone is similar to that of prisms, but since each face is a triangle (or triangle-like), there is a factor of one half. The lateral area is thus half the slant height times the perimeter."

"text": "\"Classifications of 3-dimensional Objects Basic Solids In geometry the basic three dimensional objects can be classified according to whether they have flat surfaces or curved surfaces. A three-dimensional shape whose faces are polygons is known as a polyhedron. This term comes from the Greek words poly, which means \"\"many,\"\" and hedron, which means \"\"face.\"\" So a polyhedron is a three-dimensional object with many faces . The faces are polygons whose sides are edges and whose vertices are vertices of the polyhedron. Cubes and pyramids are examples of polyhedra (plural of \"\"polyhedron\"\"): The standard objects with curved surfaces are cylinders, cones and spheres: Prisms A prism is a polyhedron in which two faces are parallel and congruent polygons, called its bases and whose other faces are parallelograms, called its lateral faces . The edges of the lateral faces are called lateral edges of the prism and are parallel and congruent. A prism also has an altitude, which is the perpendicular distance between the planes of the bases: Prisms are often classified by the shape of their bases. Thus a triangular prism is a prism whose bases are triangles, and a hexagonal prism is a prism whose bases are hexagons. A right prism is a prism in which its lateral edges are perpendicular to its bases."

For example, give a strategy to start at one vertex and continue naming letters clockwise or counterclockwise. When you write \"\"naming\"\" polygons, I think you meant \"\"classifying\"\" polygons. Number of Sides One way to classify polygons is by the number of sides they have. Regular Polygon - When a polygon is equiangular (all angles are equal) and equilateral (all sides are equal) we say that it is regular. Regular polygons that we are familar with would be the equilateral triangle or the square. Irregular Polygon - When a polygon's interior angles are not equal and its sides are not equal in length.

The holiday started in 1792 as an Italian-American heritage celebration in New York. The day was declared a federal holiday in 1937 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In Hawaii, the second Monday in October is known as Discoverers' Day rather than Columbus Day and it is not a state holiday. Until 1971, the holiday was observed on Oct. 12 every year. Since Monday is a recognized holiday in New Jersey, a number of services and some businesses may be closed. Here's a guide to help you get through the day. There will be no mail delivered on Monday. UPS and Fed Ex will be making deliveries that day though. The financial and stock markets will be open Monday."

"text": "\"Education & Research > Indiana History 1800 - 1860 > Travel and Transportation Travel and Transportation Transportation Developments in the Early Republic Early 19th-century America was a rapidly expanding nation and its people constituted a highly mobile population, pushing further west into newly opened lands, blazing trails and clearing passages for others to follow. However, as the number of westward migrants increased, the small trails could not accommodate the heavy traffic, nor did the existing modes of transportation facilitate quick and easy access to the nation's interior. For the people, inadequate transportation was more of a stumbling block than an actual hinderance to the settling of western territories. For the nation, the absence of good transportation prevented its ability to transport goods and produce from the interior to Eastern markets at reasonable costs. Thus, the future of American's economic system depended upon the nation's ability to design and construct a network of transportation systems that extended from the small villages of the interior to the centers of commerce, manufacture, and trade. To respond to its serious needs, America embarked upon a course of internal improvements and technological developments, labeled by historian George Rogers Taylor as \"\"the transportation revolution.\"\" Internal Improvements in National Politics The nation experienced a transportation boom in the early 19th century as a result of three major events: (1) the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, which increased the land holdings of the United States by some 568 million acres, essentially doubling the size of the nation; (2) the War of 1812, which brought attention to the need for communication with and security for the interior portions of the nation; (3) the westward migration, which required the ability to handle people and goods between the East and new western settlements and which also resulted in an emerging political base in the West with which the Eastern establishments had to deal. One of the earliest allowances for internal transportation developments came in 1803 when Congress provided the new state of Ohio with 5% of proceeds from public land sales for use in the construction of roads. This Congressional act established a precedent for other states and also opened the door to other federal appropriations through land sales. The foundation for later transportation developments was the April 1808 report of Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin regarding the construction of public roads and canals throughout the nation."

That experience is the basis of our story. It is also why I started the NJ Flea Markets Calendar. I was never very successful at this endeavor but I did meet some wonderful characters and I learned a lot about flea markets. Eventually I learned to give the most people what they wanted the most and I finally began to make better money. When I gave up on fine art and prints and concentrated on selling as many dollar items as I could load up in my van, I doubled my income. I was then able to eat, buy gas and pay my rent. Life as a junk man was pretty damn good. Sometimes I still miss those days and it’s still hard to pass by a pile of treasures on the curb that someone just got rid of.↓ Continue reading below ↓My New Jersey flea guide will feature some markets that I know quite well and others that I’ve only heard about.

Northwest Africa (the Maghreb) was known as either Libya or Africa, while Egypt was considered part of Asia. European exploration of Sub-Saharan Africa begins with the Age of Discovery in the 15th century, pioneered by Portugal under Henry the Navigator. The Cape of Good Hope was first reached by Bartolomeu Dias on 12 March 1488, opening the important sea route to India and the Far East, but European exploration of Africa itself remained very limited during the 16th and 17th centuries. The European powers were content to establish trading posts along the coast while they were actively exploring and colonizing the New World. Exploration of the interior of Africa was thus mostly left to the Arab slave traders, who in tandem with the Muslim conquest of the Sudan established far-reaching networks and supported the economy of a number of Sahelian kingdoms during the 15th to 18th centuries."

Several slightly different conventions are in use. The number of continents is most commonly considered seven but may range as low as four when the Americas and Afro-Eurasia are each considered a single continent. According to the definition of a continent in the strict sense, an island cannot be part of any continent, but by convention and in practice most major islands are associated with a continent. There are three overland boundaries subject to definition:between Europe and Asia (dividing Eurasia ): along the Turkish Straits, the Caucasus and the Urals (historically also north of the Caucasus, along the Kuma–Manych Depression or along the Don River)between Asia and Africa (dividing Afro-Eurasia into Africa and Eurasia ): at the Isthmus of Suezbetween North America and South America (dividing the Americas ): the Isthmus of Panama While the isthmus between Asia and Africa and that between North and South America are today navigable, via the Suez and Panama canals, respectively, diversions and canals of human origin generally are not accepted on their own accord as continent-defining boundaries; the Suez Canal happens to traverse the isthmus between the Mediterranean Sea and Red Sea, dividing Asia and Africa. The remaining boundaries concern the association of islands and archipelagos with specific continents, notably:the delineation of Southeast Asia from Australasiathe delineation between Africa, Europe and Asia in the Mediterranean Seathe delineation between Asia and Europe in the Arctic Oceanthe delineation between Europe and North America in the Atlantic Oceanthe delineation between North and South America in the Caribbean Seathe delineation of Asia from North America in the North Pacific Ocean Contents [ hide ]1 Europe and Africa2 Europe and Asia2.1 History2.2 Modern definition2.3 Islands3 Europe and North America3.1 Islands4 Africa and Asia5 North and South America5.1 Mainland5.2 Islands6 Asia and North America7 The Americas and Oceania8 Asia and Oceania9 Antarctica10 See also11 References Europe and Africa [ edit]The Mediterranean Sea The Atlantic Ocean around the boundary The European and African mainlands are non-contiguous, and the delineation between these continents is thus merely a question of which islands are to be associated with which continent. At its nearest point, Morocco and the European portion of Spain are separated by only 13 kilometres (8.1 miles). The Portuguese Atlantic island possession of the Azores is 1,368 km (850 mi) from Europe and 1,507 km (936 mi) from Africa, and is usually grouped with Europe if grouped with any continent. By contrast, the Canary and Madeira islands off the Atlantic coast of Morocco are much closer to, and usually grouped with, Africa (the Canary Islands are only 100 km (62 mi) from the African coast at their closest point, while Madeira is 520 km (320 mi) from Africa and 1,000 km (620 mi) from Europe).

Henrique of Portugal, Duke of Viseu (4 March 1394 – 13 November 1460), better known as Prince Henry the Navigator ( Portuguese: Infante Dom Henrique, o Navegador ), was a central figure in the early days of the Portuguese Empire and in the 15th-century European maritime discoveries and maritime expansion. Through his administrative direction, he is regarded as the main initiator of what would be known as the Age of Discovery. Henry was the third [1] child of the Portuguese king John I and responsible for the early development of Portuguese exploration and maritime trade with other continents through the systematic exploration of Western Africa, the islands of the Atlantic Ocean, and the search for new routes. King John I founded the House of Aviz. Henry encouraged his father to conquer Ceuta (1415), the Muslim port on the North African coast across the Straits of Gibraltar from the Iberian Peninsula. He learned of the opportunities offered by the Saharan trade routes that terminated there, and became fascinated with Africa in general; he was most intrigued by the Christian legend of Prester John and the expansion of Portuguese trade."

Located in the North Atlantic Ocean off the southwest coast of Morocco, all seven islands in this archipelago flaunt enviable strips of shoreline that roll out into aquamarine waters. Surfers, windsurfers, scuba divers and sunbathers all flock to different shores to revel in the gnarly waves, vibrant underwater world and soft sands. And if you're visiting some of the bigger islands — namely Gran Canaria, Tenerife and Lanzarote — you'll find the requisite plush resorts. These luxury accommodations boast gourmet restaurants, sprawling golf courses and prime beach access. But we'd argue that the Canaries are as much about the four natural parks as they are about beaches and resorts. Take the Parque Nacional del Teide on the island of Tenerife, for instance: It contains the globe's third-largest volcano — and visitors can hike it. Lanzarote houses Timanfaya National Park, where travelers can take camel rides across the almost lunar-looking terrain. Upon discovering this combination of beautiful beaches, luxurious accommodations and out-of-this-world natural parks, you're sure to feel like the cat that swallowed the canary.read more Rankings The U.

The composition of Madagascar 's wildlife reflects the fact that the island has been isolated for about 88 million years. The prehistoric breakup of the supercontinent Gondwana separated the Madagascar-Antarctica-India landmass from the Africa-South America landmass around 135 million years ago. Madagascar later split from India about 88 million years ago, allowing plants and animals on the island to evolve in relative isolation. [ 1]As a result of the island's long isolation from neighboring continents, Madagascar is home to an abundance of plants and animals found nowhere else on Earth. [ 2] [3] Approximately 90 percent of all plant and animal species found in Madagascar are endemic, [4] including the lemurs (a type of strepsirrhine primate), the carnivorous fossa and many birds.

Species About 120–150 species; see text Limonium is a genus of 120 flowering plant species. Members are also known as sea-lavender, statice, caspia or marsh-rosemary. Despite their common names, species are not related to the lavenders or to rosemary. They are instead in Plumbaginaceae, the plumbago or leadwort family. The generic name is from the Latin līmōnion, used by Pliny for a wild plant and is ultimately derived from the Ancient Greek leimon ( λειμών, ‘meadow’). [ 1]Contents1 Distribution2 Description3 Features4 Species5 References6 External links Distribution [ edit]The genus has a subcosmopolitan distribution in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and North America. By far the greatest diversity (over 100 species) is in the area stretching from the Canary Islands east through the Mediterranean region to central Asia; for comparison, North America only has three native Limonium species. [ 2]Description [ edit]Sea-lavenders normally grow as herbaceous perennial plants, growing 10–70 cm tall from a rhizome; a few (mainly from the Canary Islands) are woody shrubs up to 2 metres tall. Many species flourish in saline soils, and are therefore common near coasts and in salt marshes, and also on saline, gypsum and alkaline soils in continental interiors."

"text": "\"Travel Africa & Middle East Morocco Is Morocco considered part of Europe or part of Africa? Follow 2 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Since Morocco is on the African continent, it is geographically considered a part of Africa, though Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt are usually called \"\"North Africa\"\" and linked together with the Middle East with the title MENA (Middle East/North Africa). Moroccans do not see themselves as African, typically - they will say \"\"Arab\"\" first. Morocco's culture is closer to Middle Eastern and European (specifically French) cultures than it is to most African cultures, although in the south of Morocco and the disputed Sahara territory, things are arguably more African. Morocco is, however, an associate EU member, but will likely never be a full member of the EU.

Flights to Cayman Brac land at Charles Kirkconnell International Airport (CYB), and flights to Little Cayman land at Edward Bodden Airfield (LYB). Both airports also fly to some other Caribbean islands, including Jamaica. Cayman Airways Car Renting a car is the best way of getting around, especially if you want to explore beyond Seven Mile Beach.

If you've ever dreamed of getting married on the beach, barefoot at sunset with a steel drum band playing in the background -- you've found your destination. What to Know Whether you choose to get married in the Bahamas or Barbados, each Caribbean island has its own distinct personality. If old world charm is what you're after, try a historic hotel in the center of Old San Juan. If you prefer the secluded romance of a quiet island -- investigate some of the less-traveled spots on St. Baarts or Grenada. When choosing your date, avoid hurricane season -- the period between June 1 and November 30 (unless your island is below the hurricane belt, as Aruba is). Plan early if you want to wed over a long weekend. Marriage Requirements Each island has its own set of legal requirements, so check with your specific island's tourism board, or hire a local wedding planner who can guide you through all the red tape. The U. S. Virgin islands and Puerto Rico tend to be the most hassle-free. U. S. Virgin Islands Residency requirement: None Necessary documents: Driver's licenses or passports; proof of divorce or death certificate of former spouse/s (if applicable); letter accompanying application for marriage stating date of visit, length of stay, and preferred wedding date if having ceremony performed by a judge Note: Application must be received at least 2 weeks prior to wedding."

The Cayman Islands consist of three islands: Grand Cayman, Little Cayman, and Cayman Brac. The capital is George Town, on Grand Cayman. The Turks and Caicos Islands consist of some forty islands forming the southeastern end of the Bahamas archipelago. The capital is Cockburn Town, on Grand Turk Island. English is the official language of both territories. Christopher Columbus sighted the Caymans during his 1503 voyage, naming them \"\"Las Tortugas\"\" because of the large number of turtles he found there. By 1530 the islands were known as the Caymanus, a name that may have derived from confusion between the iguana, which is found on the islands, and the alligator ( cayman in Spanish). Ponce de Leon is generally believed to have discovered the Turks and Caicos in 1512, but some scholars still speculate that Columbus may have landed on one of the islands, probably East Caicos or Grand Turk Island, on his great voyage in 1492. No serious effort was made to settle either group of islands in the first decades after European discovery."

[ 1]Structure Edit The CICC is split into 7 detachments: John Gray Detachment-2Lt Barrington Griffiths Clifton Hunter Detachment 2Lt Chin Sinn South Sound 2Lt Ebanks Cayman Brac Detachment Lt Bennett Triple C Detachment 2Lt Hunt Marine Detachment (LSG) Thompson Band Detachment Capt Manyeh Syllabus Edit The Organisation has been modeled on the UK Army Cadet Force organisation (ACF). The organisation aims to provide citizenship training via military-style activities, including instruction in military knowledge, drills, leadership, public speaking, field craft, land and sea navigation, signaling, physical fitness, first aid, arms skills, and music. The Cayman Islands is a British Overseas Territory and uses the same school curriculum as the UK. In September 2005 the CICC began working with the Cadet Vocational Qualification Organisation (CVQO) in the UK to add a vocational training element that has resulted in qualified cadets gaining the BTEC First Diploma in Public Services, which is equivalent to passes in four subjects at GCSE. The CICC became the first Cadet Corps in the Caribbean to offer such a diploma. The CICC has an overseas exchange program with UK, Canada and other Caribbean Islands ."

Various islands in the Caribbean that were colonies of the United Kingdom, including Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Jamaica, and those on the Leeward and Windward Islands, came together to form the Federation, with its capital in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. The expressed intention of the Federation was to create a political unit that would become independent from Britain as a single state—possibly similar to the Canadian Confederation, Australian Commonwealth, or Central African Federation; however, before that could happen, the Federation collapsed due to internal political conflicts over how the Federation itself would be governed or how it would viably function. The territories that would have become part of the Federation eventually became the nine contemporary sovereign states of Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago; with Anguilla, Montserrat, the Cayman Islands, and Turks and Caicos Islands becoming British overseas territories. British Guiana (Guyana) and British Honduras (Belize) held observer status within the West Indies Federation.

There are two international airports, one in George Town, Grand Cayman and the other in Cayman Brac. Several major airlines fly to Cayman and there are daily flights to Miami and weekly flights to major North American and European cities. Cayman is politically stable; under the 1972 constitution, the Governor represents the Queen and assigns portfolio responsibilities to five elected Ministers of government, although the constitutional relationship between the Cayman Islands and the UK is undergoing change. There are no taxes in the Cayman Islands: government revenue comes from customs duties, stamp duty and annual fees levied on corporations. The population of 56,125 (2012 census) is of mixed British and Jamaican stock, with more than 70 nationalities present in the work-force. The economy is highly dependent on tourism, with financial services also important.

Photo by André Helbig, licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0. The subject of white tea and caffeine is clouded to a large degree by myths and misinformation. In the U. S., there has been a widespread myth that white tea is lowest in caffeine and highest in antioxidants. This myth is usually combined with the oversimplification that caffeine is bad and antioxidants are good, and used as a marketing technique to push white tea. Researchers studying the chemical composition of white teas relative to green and black teas concluded that the claims that white tea is lower in caffeine and higher in antioxidants than green tea are \"\"complete nonsense\"\". [ 4] This article presents accurate information about the caffeine content of white teas, explores how these myths have been perpetuated, and highlights companies that have been working to promote accurate info in their marketing. For more on these topics you can explore our articles on white tea and the antioxidants in tea. White tea is not necessarily low in caffeine White teas are diverse and have a wide range of caffeine contents, ranging from some of the milder, low-caffeine teas (around 15mg/cup), up through the teas with the highest caffeine content (around 75mg/cup). A 2009 study comparing one sample of white, green, black, oolong, and yellow tea found the white tea to be highest in caffeine; the study used white peony tea, a typical example of white tea. ["

Synthetic diamond is also widely known as HPHT diamond or CVD diamond after the two common production methods (referring to the high-pressure high-temperature and chemical vapor deposition crystal formation methods, respectively). While the term synthetic is associated by consumers with imitation products, artificial diamonds are made of the same material (pure carbon, crystallized in isotropic 3D form). [ 1] In the U. S., the Federal Trade Commission has indicated that the alternative terms laboratory-grown, laboratory-created, and [manufacturer-name]-created \"\"would more clearly communicate the nature of the stone\"\". Numerous claims of diamond synthesis were documented between 1879 and 1928; most of those attempts were carefully analyzed but none were confirmed. In the 1940s, systematic research began in the United States, Sweden and the Soviet Union to grow diamonds using CVD and HPHT processes. The first reproducible synthesis was reported around 1953. Those two processes still dominate the production of synthetic diamond. A third method, known as detonation synthesis, entered the diamond market in the late 1990s. In this process, nanometer-sized diamond grains are created in a detonation of carbon-containing explosives."

"text": "\"A final judgment in a divorce case is the end result, whether you and your former spouse reached an amicable settlement or had a contested evidentiary hearing. If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of your divorce in Florida, there are several avenues you may take to overturn the final decree. Overturning an amicable settlement typically requires proof that you were mislead by your spouse. A contested divorce decree can be challenged either by a request for a new hearing or by appeal to a higher court. Deciding the proper course of action requires close examination of the facts and, most likely, the assistance of an experienced attorney. Overturning an Amicable Divorce Decree Overturning a final judgment of dissolution in Florida is difficult when the parties agreed on the terms and did not request an evidentiary hearing. In this type of case, the trial judge relies on the parties to resolve matters and generally does little more than enter a final judgment approving the agreement of the parties. It is difficult for you to change this type of final judgment because the court expects you to have been fully aware of the terms. However, an amicable divorce settlement can be overturned if you can establish that your spouse was not honest with you at the time of the agreement. For example, if you can show that your spouse has been engaging in behavior that might be dangerous to the well-being of your children, such as drug or alcohol abuse, and that you were unaware of this at the time you signed the agreement, you can ask the trial judge to set aside the final judgment."

Power Levels range from 8-105k VA (1 Phase) to 25-750k VA (3 Phase). Each converter will accept any input (Shore Power) service between 40-70Hz and 170-520VAC, producing the desired, pre-programmed output power form required by your yacht. Dual conversion is the preferred technique for high performance AC power conversion. This conversion technique is standard on every ASEA Power Systems' product. Utilizing this technology, the shore power service is isolated by transformers, then converted to DC (Direct Current) power by the PFC (Power Factor Corrected) Power Supply. Then high efficiency, high performance amplifiers (inverters) convert DC voltage to AC (Alternating Current) voltage. This dual conversion technique will produce various AC voltages at specified frequencies to form the correct power form required by the yacht and its loads. ASEA Power Systems' comprehensive line of Shore Power Converters has been designed specifically for the yachting industry. This careful attention to detail has produced a system capable of sustaining the harshest marine environment."

A defamatory statement made in writing, or “published,” it is considered “ libel ,” a defamatory statement that is spoken is considered “ slander .” Defamation is not considered a criminal act, but a civil wrong. As the Constitution of the United States promises its citizens freedom of speech, there is often a fine line between exercising that right and making defamatory statements that harm another person. To explore this concept, consider the following defamation definition. Definition of Defamation Noun. A spoken or published statement that harms the reputation of a person. Noun.

"text": "\"LCR Health Active-PK Reviews Based on 9 Reviews Website: www. Deep Fat Solution.com Nutritional Supplement , Weight Loss Review It About LCR Health Active-PKLCR Health Active-PK, found online at Deep Fat Solution.com, is a new nutritional supplement that promises to help people rid themselves of “deep fat” by activating an enzyme in their body for weight loss benefits. How Does It Work? LCR Health Active-PK is a new supplement created by Dr. Rand Mc Clain, who is described as a “world-famous doctor” known for keeping celebrities and professional athletes healthy and beautiful. According to their website, there is a type of fat that most people are unaware of and they refer to it as “deep fat,” a type of fat that builds up around your organs and can cause health problems like cirrhosis of the liver. And one of the concerns about deep fat is that even athletic or slender people can have this kind of fat. It is also difficult to attack this kind of fat with standard diet and exercise, which is why LCR Health created a nutritional supplement that claims to activate their AMPK enzyme, a special enzyme within your cells that they call the “Master Switch” and has the ability to attack deep fat and metabolizes it for energy. Ingredients and Side Effects Unfortunately this company does not appear to provide any written statements regarding their ingredients anywhere on their promotional website or even on the LCR Health website, making it difficult for customers to evaluate this product for themselves or to determine whether or not this product may include ingredients that users are allergic to or have other known negative side effects to. Cost/Price Plans Their website actually provides customers with three different options for purchasing this product right now. First, customers can purchase a single month's supply for $46.99, which is described as being a 47% discount off their traditional retail price of $88.99 per bottle."

It has taken 16 years of research and 20 million dollars to achieve this major scientific breakthrough. This exciting medical discovery can have a direct impact on improving your health and significantly improving your athletic performance!Reactive Molecules & Anti-oxidants Anti-oxidants protect us from free radical damage and aging. However, anti-oxidants cannot function properly in our bodies without balanced reactive molecules to trigger them. As we age the cells in our body produce fewer and fewer reactive molecules. This is one reason why as we grow older it takes longer to heal from an injury or recover from an illness. Our body needs to maintain a proper chemical balance of these reactive molecules at all times in order to sustain optimum health. Fortunately, there is now a safe, natural way to supplement the body's production of balanced reactive molecules. A revolutionary new health supplement has been developed as a result of this scientific research. The product is called ASEA ."

"text": "Health Care Reimbursement Account (HCRA)How it Works Eligible Expenses More Details One of the best ways you can manage your health care budget is to take advantage of a Health Care Reimbursement Account (HCRA). A Health Care Reimbursement Account (HCRA) allows you to pay for qualified health care expenses with pre-tax dollars. Contributions to your HCRA are made from your pay before taxes are withheld. This decreases your taxable income, which reduces your Federal income and payroll taxes. How it Works The ASEA Health Trust’s HCRA works like a personal checking account. First, decide on the total amount you want to set aside in your account, up to the IRS-determined limit. The minimum is $20 per month and the maximum $2,600 per year (effective 7/1/2017). Use this worksheet to help determine your election amount. You may want to review receipts from last year for your out-of-pocket health care expenses.

Principle 2 – Promises are to be kept; keep your word, tell the truth, be honest in all things (dishonesty cannot be tolerated within the company or in outside relationships, as it is ultimately destructive)There are a couple of parts to this belief: First is keeping promises. Again, a principle that seems easy enough, but in reality it requires discipline to keep promises. If you do not intend to do something, do not promise to do it. In today’s busy work environments, a great deal of discernment is required to sort out plans. Another part of this discipline is to work as hard as you can to keep your promise. It may not be easy, but it is essential to living by this principle. Often, it is the way you keep your promises that brings glory to God. The second part is simply being honest in all things. Honesty is an imperative part of any successful business."

"text": "The History And Development Of Six Sigma Categorized in: History of Six Sigma A question that is often asked is ‘was Six Sigma developed as a competitor to the existing systems?’ But in reality, this question is groundless because Six Sigma was developed independently, like every other quality management system. However, if it pays to have more than one quality management system, then why not develop another system in addition to the existing ones? So let’s see how Six Sigma evolved and eventually went on to become one of the most commendable quality management systems on the globe. The Early Saga The roots of Six Sigma can be traced back to the early industrial era, during the eighteenth century in Europe. Carl Frederick Gauss introduced it as a conceptual normal curve metric. The evolution of Six Sigma took one step ahead with Walter Shewhart showing how three sigma deviations from the mean required a process correction. Later in 1980, Six Sigma got a definitive form when a Motorola engineer coined the term Six Sigma for this quality management process. Motorola not only implemented this system in their organization, but they copyrighted it as well. The Japanese Connection Japanese people are known to have crossed many boundaries to perfect their technological achievements."

"text": "Actress Jessica Alba, co-founder of the ironically named “The Honest Company,” recently declared, “One billion feels like a small number.” Alba was referring to her companies’ profits, made not by being honest with consumers but by spreading lies about her competitors. The Honest Company sells a variety of organic and eco-friendly baby and personal-care products, such as diapers, baby wipes, sunscreen, soap, face wash, shampoo and toothpaste. Yet the company’s main commodity is fear — and a false promise that its products are better and much safer for you and your child than those sold by other companies. It’s a marketing strategy that clearly works. Alba often boasts that she really cares about her customers and implies those other guys — her competition — do not. Relaying the story of why she started her company, Alba told ABC News that after doing research, she “found that there are a lot of toxic chemicals in everyday products, and I was more horrified to find that there are more toxic chemicals in baby products. ”Is this true? Are there toxic chemicals in baby products? Of course there are, and for good reason."

In 2001, they claimed they conducted five million studies with people in their homes. It is sad that those who work so hard are teaching false doctrines instead of the truth. The sect known as “Jehovah’s Witnesses” had its beginning in the late 1800’s with a man named Charles Taze Russell. Russell taught Christ would return to the earth in 1914. The fact that He did not return proved Russell was a false prophet ( Deuteronomy 18:21, 22; Matthew 24:36-51 ). Charles T. Russell began an organization to spread his ideas. It is called The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. Since this organization began, they have distributed more than one billion tracts and books, promoting the doctrines of Russell and those who followed him."

D., Helgen, K., Reid, F., Pino, J. & González-Maya, J. F. Reviewer (s): Duckworth, J. W. Justification: This species is listed as Least Concern because although it is locally threatened as a result of ongoing habitat loss and hunting (Glatston 1994), it is not declining at a rate to nearly sufficient to qualify even for Near Threatened. It has a wide distribution range and is present in many protected areas across its range. Previously published Red List assessments:2008 – Least Concern (LC)1996 – Lower Risk/least concern (LR/lc)Geographic Range [top]Range Description: White-nosed Coati ranges from Arizona and parts of southern New Mexico in the United States through Mexico (except the Baja peninsula and central Sierra Madres) and Central America to Panama and marginally into South America in areas west of the Andes (Glatston 1994), especially in Colombia (González-Maya et al. 2011).

Population [top]Population: The numbers of this species are unknown and population estimates range from rare to common. It is rare in the United States and can be anything from common to scarce in Central America where its status is less well known, but indications are that its numbers have been greatly reduced (Janson 1981). The Mexican population has probably been severely reduced and it may even be extirpated in certain areas (Valenzuela and Ceballos 2000). Population density is greater in the tropics than in south-western United States (Gommper 1995, 1997)."

The coatimundi or coati is diurnal which means active during the day. The coatimundi ranges over a wide variety of country, Central and South America. The White-Nosed Coatimundi ranges southwestern Arizona, southwestern Texas, and southwestern New Mexico. The white nosed Coatimundi is also in eastern Mexico and southern Mexico. The spelling variations of Coatimundi are coati mundi and coatimondi. The variation for white-nosed coatimundi is white-nosed coati. As with many exotic animals often found in homes as an exotic pet the coatimundi is diminishing in numbers, for the exact same reasons animals that are now extinct or endangered, deforestation, poaching, and hunted for meat. Be sure to purchase captive bred animals from a known breeder, or consider exotic pet adoption from a pet rescue. Pet rescue adoption can be highly fulfilling as well as helping an unwanted animal."

Subtropical plants dominate the Gran Chaco in the north, with the Dalbergia genus of trees well represented by Brazilian rosewood and the quebracho tree; also predominant are white and black algarrobo trees ( Prosopis alba and Prosopis nigra ). Savannah-like areas exist in the drier regions nearer the Andes. Aquatic plants thrive in the wetlands of Argentina. In central Argentina the humid pampas are a true tallgrass prairie ecosystem. [ 1]The original pampa had virtually no trees; some imported species like the American sycamore or eucalyptus are present along roads or in towns and country estates ( estancias ). The only tree-like plant native to the pampa is the evergreen Ombú. The surface soils of the pampa are a deep black color, primarily mollisols, known commonly as humus. This makes the region one of the most agriculturally productive on Earth; however, this is also responsible for decimating much of the original ecosystem, to make way for commercial agriculture. The western pampas receive less rainfall, this dry pampa is a plain of short grasses or steppe. ["

Sure, they are often treated like babies by their owners putting them in diapers and strollers but they also act like babies, permanently, with all the messes and screaming included.

Thus restricted, the Procyonidae is restricted to the New World, from southern Canada to northern Argentina. Procyonids can be found in a wide variety of habitats, including desert, northern forests, tropical rainforest, and wetlands. Procyonids are generally small to medium-sized animals, ranging from slightly less than 1 kg to over 20 kg in weight. Some species have slender bodies, while others are stocky. All have medium or long tails. The pelage is gray or brown, sometimes with contrasting markings on the face and light and dark rings around the tail. Most species have relatively short, broad faces; and short but erect ears, which may be rounded or pointed. Forefeet and hindfeet have 5 digits, and procyonids are plantigrade, often walking with a bear-like shuffle."

They are large members of the family Procyonidae (the raccoon family), with the males growing to be as heavy as 27 lbs at maturity while the females are usually between 6 and 13 lbs. The name \"\"coati\"\" (pronounced ko-WAH-tee) is derived from the Tupi term \"\"akwa'tim\"\", meaning \"\"pointy nose\"\". The coati's nose is incredibly flexible and is able to bend 60 degrees in any direction. They use their nose, coupled with their powerful and heavily-clawed paws, to forage for grubs and insects in the earth."

"text": "Types of Eagles – What Do Eagles Eat – Where do Eagles live Not many of you would be aware of these types of eagles. This article lays down some of the important facts about different eagle species. Eagles are one of the largest birds of prey that belong to the family of Accipitridae. Most of these species are endemic to Eurasia and Africa; out of which bald eagles and golden eagles are the only species that subsides in the North America and Canada only. Eagles generally build their nests on lofty trees in tropical and subtropical forests where water is abundant. Like other raptors, females are slightly larger as compared to males. These are the aggressive birds and do not allow anyone to approach their nests. While they migrate toward north in spring season; these birds of prey travel to south in fall in quest for food. They have long eye brows that provides a shade against sunlight. Eagles rarely miss any prey for the reason that they have sharp eyesight and powerful talons that makes the kill almost unmoved."

The Evolution of Diet By Ann Gibbons Photographs by Matthieu Paley Some experts say modern humans should eat from a Stone Age menu. What's on it may surprise you. Fundamental Feasts For some cultures, eating off the land is—and always has been—a way of life. It’s suppertime in the Amazon of lowland Bolivia, and Ana Cuata Maito is stirring a porridge of plantains and sweet manioc over a fire smoldering on the dirt floor of her thatched hut, listening for the voice of her husband as he returns from the forest with his scrawny hunting dog. With an infant girl nursing at her breast and a seven-year-old boy tugging at her sleeve, she looks spent when she tells me that she hopes her husband, Deonicio Nate, will bring home meat tonight. “ The children are sad when there is no meat,” Maito says through an interpreter, as she swats away mosquitoes. Nate left before dawn on this day in January with his rifle and machete to get an early start on the two-hour trek to the old-growth forest."

The tropical seasonal forest has more or less densely growing trees which lose their leaves during the dry season. The savanna is a grassland with individual trees or groups of trees dotting the landscape. If you look at the climate diagrams to the right, you will see that the temperature regime is the same for both; with average annual temperatures over 20� C . Rainfall can vary from less than 50cm/year to almost 300 cm/year . Savannas would occupy the dryer part of this range. The figure to the left was taken at the Santa Rosa National Park in Costa Rica . This park has a typical tropical seasonal forest, and gets about 130 cm of rain per year. The rainfall is highly seasonal; with most of the rain falling in the months from May to November, May being both the end of the dry season and the wettest month overall, at least in the year pictured here. This strong seasonality of rainfall is characteristic of the tropical seasonal forest."

Kinkajous are arboreal and possess many adaptations common to arboreal species, such as a long, fully prehensile tail, nimble clawed fingers, and fully reversible hind feet. During terrestrial locomotion, captive kinkajous exhibit a variety of unpredictable footfall patterns yet remain graceful and feline-like when moving. Kinkajous are considered “adept yet deliberate climbers” (Mc Clearn 1992, p. 254). They utilize their extreme spinal flexibility to maneuver among the tree limbs and obtain food at terminal branches."

Narchuk.com / Moment / Getty Imagesby Jennifer Kennedy Updated May 22, 2017The word phylum (plural: phyla) is a category used to classify marine organisms. In this article, you can learn the definition of phylum, how it is used, and examples of phyla used to categorize marine life. How Are Marine Organisms Classified? There are millions of species on Earth, and only a small percentage of them have been discovered and described. Some organisms have evolved along similar paths, although their relationship to each other isn't always obvious. This evolutionary relationship between organisms is known as the phylogenetic relationship and can be used to categorize organisms. Carolus Linnaeus developed a system of classification in the 18th century, which involves giving each organism a scientific name, then placing it in broader and broader categories according to its relationship to other organisms. In order of broad to specific, these seven categories are Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. Definition of Phylum: As you can see, Phylum is one of the broadest of these seven categories."

Authorities differ in what they consider a phylum, and in the actual name of the phylum. Despite this, there is agreement on most phyla. Most modern surveys include groups above the phylum: superphyletic groupings based on evidence of common descent.

Sea urchins and sand dollars are found in all the world's oceans. Like most other echinoderms, they are pentaradially symmetrical (the have five sides arranged around a central point). Characteristics Sea urchins range in size from as small as a couple of inches in diameter to over a foot in diameter. They have a mouth located on their upper part of their body (also known as the oral surface) although some sea urchins have a mouth located towards one end (if their body shape is irregular). Sea urchins have tube feet and move using a water vascular system. Their endoskeleton consists of calcium carbonate spicules or ossicles. In sea urchins, these ossicles are fused into plates that form a shell-like structure called a test. The test encloses the internal organs and provides support and protection. Sea urchins can sense touch, chemicals in the water, and light."

"text": "\"Suitability for Aquaria? D espite their success in nature, which is fostered in no small part by their odd organ systems and strange body structures, relatively few echinoderms are appropriate for aquaria. This lack of suitability is due, in part, to their strange internal morphology, which makes them particularly sensitive to changes in salinity. Echinoderms, in general, are animals requiring full strength seawater and they are intolerant of changes in salinity. Although many aquarists maintain their aquaria properly, often at least some tanks along the distribution and dealer network contain water that is hyposaline or have otherwise inappropriate conditions. Rapid, unnecessary and inappropriate changes in salinity during transit may result in the animals being injured and dying a slow and lingering death, often in the tank of some hobbyist who really is not to blame. Most echinoderms are not suitable for reef tanks for an entirely different reason. With only a few exceptions, they are just too large to be kept successfully in the average aquarium. No echinoderm reaches a huge size, although the largest are sea stars may reach a diameter of about 10 feet. At the other extreme, except during their larval stages, there are no really tiny ones, either."

"text": "\"Echinoderms and Chordates Deuterostomes include the phyla Echinodermata and Chordata (which includes the vertebrates) and two smaller phyla. Deuterostomes share similar patterns of early development. Echinoderms Echinodermata are named for their spiny skin (from the Greek “echinos” meaning “spiny” and “dermos” meaning “skin”). The phylum includes about 7,000 1 described living species, such as sea stars, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, sand dollars, and brittle stars. Echinodermata are exclusively marine. Adult echinoderms exhibit pentaradial symmetry and have a calcareous endoskeleton made of ossicles ( [link] ), although the early larval stages of all echinoderms have bilateral symmetry. The endoskeleton is developed by epidermal cells, which may also possess pigment cells, giving vivid colors to these animals, as well as cells laden with toxins. These animals have a true coelom, a portion of which is modified into a unique circulatory system called a water vascular system. An interesting feature of these animals is their power to regenerate, even when over 75 percent of their body mass is lost. Physiological Processes of Echinoderms Echinoderms have a unique system for gas exchange, nutrient circulation, and locomotion called the water vascular system."

The adults are recognizable by their (usually five-point) radial symmetry, and include such well-known animals as sea stars, sea urchins, sand dollars, and sea cucumbers, as well as the sea lilies or \"\"stone lilies\"\". [ 3] Echinoderms are found at every ocean depth, from the intertidal zone to the abyssal zone, the phylum contains about 7000 living species, [4] making it the second-largest grouping of deuterostomes (a superphylum), after the chordates (which include the vertebrates, such as birds, fishes, mammals, and reptiles ). Echinoderms are also the largest phylum that has no freshwater or terrestrial (land-based) representatives. Aside from the hard-to-classify Arkarua (a Precambrian animal with echinoderm-like pentamerous radial symmetry), the first definitive members of the phylum appeared near the start of the Cambrian. One group of Cambrian echinoderms, the cinctans ( Homalozoa ), which are close to the base of the echinoderm origin, have been found to possess external gills used for filter feeding, like chordata and hemichordata. [ 5]The echinoderms are important both ecologically and geologically. Ecologically, there are few other groupings so abundant in the biotic desert of the deep sea, as well as shallower oceans. Most echinoderms are able to regenerate tissue, organs, limbs, and reproduce asexually; in some cases, they can undergo complete regeneration from a single limb."

The word \"\"echinoderm\"\" means spiny skin, which describes most of the organisms in this phylum. Echinoderms all live in water and are predators or scavengers, the underside of the animal has a mouth and their arms are used to pry open shelled prey such as mollusks. One of the more unusual aspects of echinoderms is their ability to regenerate lost arms. A starfish that loses an arm can grow a new one if just a couple of weeks. Echinoderms are radially sysmetrical, which is obvious from the way their stars (which can vary in number) radiate from the mouth opening. Echinoderms are usually found in the shallow water near the shore. They spend much of the time resting in the sand or on rocks. Starfish can move using specialized structures called tube feet. Each arm of the starfish has hundreds of tubes with suckers on them to help them navigate over rocks and sand."

[ 1] Their tests (hard shells) are round and spiny, typically from 3 to 10 cm (1.2 to 3.9 in) across.

Sea urchins and sand dollars are found in all the world's oceans. Like most other echinoderms, they are pentaradially symmetrical (the have five sides arranged around a central point). Characteristics Sea urchins range in size from as small as a couple of inches in diameter to over a foot in diameter. They have a mouth located on their upper part of their body (also known as the oral surface) although some sea urchins have a mouth located towards one end (if their body shape is irregular). Sea urchins have tube feet and move using a water vascular system. Their endoskeleton consists of calcium carbonate spicules or ossicles. In sea urchins, these ossicles are fused into plates that form a shell-like structure called a test. The test encloses the internal organs and provides support and protection. Sea urchins can sense touch, chemicals in the water, and light."

"text": "Is Credit Karma Free Credit Score a Scam? By Lori Kelley, March 10th, 2014 | 47 Comments »When people first hear about Credit Karma and the free credit scores they provide, the first question that comes to mind is whether or not Credit Karma a scam? They want to know if it’s truly legit. Is it really a “free” credit score or is there a catch to it? It’s a valid question. There have been a lot of companies in the past that have touted a “free” credit scores, but you must give your credit card information in order to access it, and then get charged if you don’t cancel a promotion before a certain period of time. In this sense, Credit Karma isn’t the same as those, but it’s important to understand that it isn’t necessarily “free” either. There are some definite non financial costs that come with getting your score, mostly in the form of advertising. Credit Karma is a website that provides financial monitoring and credit tools to help you keep track of your credit score and credit report. There is no cost to use their main services, and they provide a credit score which is generated from the Trans Union credit bureau’s data."

What I found interesting is that it correctly states my revolving balance. I recently paid everything down to zero except one account which I left $1 on. That what it says is I have $1 of revolving balance. But, here at MYFICO I have not been alerted to some of the accounts being paid to zero or any score watch alerts showing an increase since I paid my utilization from 75% to less than 1%. I pulled a Tranunion report and in fact the accounts have not been updated with my payments. So, how can credit karma have my revolving balances correct and the myfico reports not be updated yet?

I am not sure if this is ever removed from your history--but please do not confuse this with your credit report--they are two seperate things. The only think that you can do if your employer or perspective employer does such a check is to be straight forward with him/her and tell them it is on your record and give them a good reason as to why. If you say nothing, or worse, lie, you can be refused the position at this point or worse, fired for lieing on your app if they find out after the fact. I know someone that this happened to several years after they had been hired and had done an exemplary job during their tenure. However, it says in the app that you may be fired for giving false information or telling an untruth. Don't do it, it is not worth the shame later on."

"text": "\"As a Credit Karma member, you have access to free Vantage Score 3.0 credit scores from two major bureaus, Trans Union and Equifax. We also provide an auto insurance score and home insurance score from Trans Union. Aside from the Vantage Score 3.0 score provided by Equifax, which uses your Equifax credit report, each score is calculated using the data in your Trans Union credit report. Vantage Score Vantage Score 3.0, which ranges from 300-850, is a credit scoring model created collaboratively by the three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian and Trans Union. With this score, the credit bureaus aim to make credit scoring more consistent and accurate across all the bureaus. Traditional credit scoring models weigh credit history heavily, and consumers with shorter credit histories often generate a \"\" thin file .\"\" The Vantage Score model tries to remedy this by putting more weight and emphasis on the past 24 months of credit history. Auto insurance score Your Auto Insurance Score, with ranges from 150 to 950, is calculated using data from your Trans Union credit report and is used primarily by auto insurance companies. It helps insurance companies assess the risk of insuring a consumer by measuring the likelihood that a claim might be filed. The fact that data in your credit report can affect your auto insurance rates may seem unfair, but studies show that there is a correlation between credit behavior and the likelihood a consumer will file a claim."

For a few years, Credit Karma has been offering a product that lets consumers see what lenders and employers see when they look at the consumers’ credit reports. After securely and privately providing your personal information, Credit Karma retrieves your credit report from one of the credit reporting bureaus, either Experian, Equifax, or Trans Union. Credit Karma then analyzes your details and assigns a grade, A through F. The various categories receiving grades relate to the items that determine your credit score. Lenders review these items when deciding whether to extend credit to you, how much credit to extend, and at what cost. This is a free service, supported by advertising. Yesterday, Credit.com announced they will also be offering a similar free service, providing a credit report card to help you evaluate and improve your credit report. So which service is better? I took both services for test drives."

Advertiser Disclosure There are few numbers in life that matter as much to your financial well-being as your credit scores. Whether you’re applying for a credit card or buying a home, these three-digit numbers can go a long way in determining whether a lender will do business with you. The problem is, there are so many credit scoring models out there. How can you keep track of them all?

"text": "A new service from Credit Karma provides access to your Trans Union credit report any time at no charge. By Cameron Huddleston, Online Editor August 12, 2014Consumers are entitled to receive a free credit report annually from each of the three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian and Trans Union. It's the law. These free yearly credit reports can be requested online at Annual Credit Report.com. But for anyone who thinks a once-a-year check isn't enough, there's good news: Credit-monitoring Web site Credit Karma is offering consumers the ability to examine their Trans Union credit report free of charge any time they want. SEE ALSO: How to Get a Free FICO Score Credit Karma, Credit Sesame and Credit.com all have been providing consumers with the ability to check credit scores for free and get an overview of their credit profile. But Credit Karma is the first to give its 25 million registered users free access to a full credit report from Trans Union, which is updated once a week. Since 2012, Credit Karma has offered free credit monitoring that notifies those who enroll in the program if there are meaningful changes to their Trans Union credit report, such as a new account opened in their name or a change of address on an account. While these alerts can be useful in flagging potential problems, Credit Karma CEO Ken Lin says users were seeking the added ability to review their credit report as needed without charge to determine if an alert was the result of a legitimate problem such as fraud or creditor error. So to make it easier for consumers to monitor their Trans Union credit report on an ongoing basis, Credit Karma launched its newest free service July 30 – and it’s already the Web site’s most popular tool, Lin says."

So paying the card off first will save you money. Secondly it will also increase your score as your utilization percentage will go down. Utilization percentage ( equal to the amount you owe on your credit cards divided by your total credit limit) is a HIGH weight factor in determining your credit score. Thirdly, paying a car off closes the account, and does not help your utilization. This forum is rife with stories about how people's score actually dropped after paying an auto loan off. It makes no sense, but it is the way they do it. Finally, once you pay on your auto, you can't get it back. If you have an emergency and need to spend money unexpectedly, the cash you apply to your auto loan is unavailable to you. At least if you pay the credit card first, you will benefit from increasing your available credit."

The eight-county region, officially named the Raleigh–Durham–Chapel Hill combined statistical area (CSA), comprises the Raleigh and Durham–Chapel Hill metropolitan areas and the Dunn, Henderson, Oxford, and Sanford Micropolitan Statistical Areas. A 2013 Census estimate put the population at 2,037,430, making it the second largest metropolitan area in the state of North Carolina behind Charlotte. [ 1] The Raleigh–Durham television market includes a broader 24-county area which includes Fayetteville, and has a population of 2,726,000 persons. [ 2]The \"\"Triangle\"\" name was cemented in the public consciousness in the 1950s with the creation of Research Triangle Park, home to numerous high-tech companies and enterprises. Although the name is now used to refer to the geographic region, \"\"the Triangle\"\" originally referred to the universities, whose research facilities, and the educated workforce they provide, have historically served as a major attraction for businesses located in the region."

Ideally a bull or heifer calf out of a first calver and calving ease bull should weigh about 60-75 pounds and 75-95 out of a mature cow. Most semen sales cataloges have the breed average EPD's in them. For angus BW=+2.2, CED=+5. I dont know what the average BW EPD for angus heifers would be, just the appropiate numbers to look at when looking for a sire. EPD's are calculated at universitys, and I believe each breed is done at a different place.

"text": "6 Theories on the Origin of the Bullpen BY David K. Israel October 15, 2009No one really knows where the term bullpen comes from, and no one theory has enough compelling evidence to support or refute the origin. No more certain is the debate about when the word bullpen was first used. OED sites the earliest use dating back to a 1924 Chicago Tribune article, while other sources say the area referring to where pitchers warm up (especially relief pitchers), was first called the bullpen in a Baseball Magazine article published in 1915. Regardless, the National League Championship series between the Dodgers and Phillies opens tonight, and the pen is certainly going to figure heavily in it. So we thought we'd take a look at six popular bullpen origin theories that have been going around for some time. If we left one of your favorites off the list, by all means tell us about it in the comments below.

The fans herded like cattle theory One of the more likely theories goes like this: In the 1800s, a few innings after a game started, fans could get tickets at the box office for a big discount. But cheap tickets came with a, er, catch: you had to stand in a roped-off area off to the side of the field in foul territory. So the fans were treated a bit like cattle in a pen."

As he'll quickly point out, he had never hit 15 home runs in a season, either. Myers, and the Royals, see him as a middle-of-the-order hitter, not a table-setter. Middle-of-the-order hitters don't settle for line-drive singles and doubles. So Myers decided to do something about that. \"\" If I'm in the middle of the order, they won't want me to hit 10 home runs in a year,\"\" Myers said. \"\" You have to know where you're hitting in the order. ( Hitting for power) was a conscious effort for me. \"\" Like a chef tweaking a recipe, Myers decided to alter his approach this year. He stood more upright at the plate, which enabled him to get more backspin on the ball, and he started to take more aggressive swings later in at-bats."

"text": "Travel10 Things To Do In Chapel Hill and Durham With Kids Allison Barrett Carter Chapel Hill and Durham, North Carolina, are kind of like Nicole Richie & Paris Hilton back in their heyday: They both need each other, they love each other, but they really just want the spotlight all to themselves. Get what I am saying? So, if you come this way, you don’t want to offend either one of these beautiful cities. See both! Here are my favorite things to do in Chapel Hill and Durham with kids…1. Museum of Life + Science (Durham) This spot is the number 1 pick for families in our area, always. The Museum of Life + Science has indoor and outdoor activities for kids of all ages and it keeps it fresh for everyone with special rotating exhibits. ( And PS- if you are visiting a Durham resident have them take you on a Wednesday between 1 – 5 pm as it is free for Durham residents then.2. UNC’s campus (Chapel Hill). UNC-Chapel Hill is the original school of the UNC system, the oldest public University in the country."

"text": "\"Sports & Active Lifestyle Classic Sports Baseball Q: Why do they call it a bullpen? A: Quick Answer There are many contradictory theories about the origin of the term \"\"bullpen\"\" in baseball. The most prevalent theory claims that the term arose because Bull Durham tobacco placed ads in every ballpark in the nation in 1910 and pitchers used the shade of the Bull Durham signs to warm up. However, the term \"\"bullpen\"\" has been used to describe a holding area, often with negative connotations, since the 19th century. Continue Reading Keep Learning What is a \"\"balk\"\" in baseball? How do you improve how fast you can throw a baseball? How do you watch live baseball? Full Answer Another popular theory connects the term to an actual bullpen that existed at the Polo Grounds in New York in the late 1800s. Pitchers would use an area near the bullpen to warm up, and so the name stuck. Others claim that the area was originally a place to put fans who bought cheap tickets and that they were herded into the spot like cattle."

There was Artis Gilmore, uncharacteristically eloquent, chatty and funny and Tex Winter looking strong standing astride son Chris. There was a wonderfully dramatic talk raising the horrors of the segregated South by the son of the late Harlem Globetrotter Reece “Goose” Tatum, an evocative walk by Chris Mullin through his trials and triumphs, a passionate thanks from four time Olympic gold medalist Teresa Edwards and a comfortable-as-your-next-door neighbor session with NCAA wins leader Herb Mc Gee from Philadelphia University.

He took pride in the fact that he could rebound the basketball. And when he’d chase down the ball or be in a crowd and tip it and tip and tip it until he came up with the ball, those were plays that energized our fans and our team. ”While Rodman may now be known more for his personality and figure in the pop culture world, when he enters the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on Aug. 12, you can be certain it’s his defensive and rebounding abilities that will be recalled."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Business & Finance Personal Finance Money Management Credit Where did the term the 'bullpen' originate? Flag Where did the term the 'bullpen' originate? Answer by Crystal Ponti Confidence votes 21.0KCrystal Ponti is the founder of Blue Lobster Book Co., a full-service, self-publishing boutique. Origin of Bullpen The origin of the term bullpen is debated with no one theory gaining unanimous, or even substantial, prevalence over another. The term first appeared in wide use shortly after the turn of the 20th century and has been used since in roughly its present meaning. Some of the most common theories are: The bullpen symbolically represents the fenced in area of a bull's pen, where bulls wait before being sent off to the slaughter. The relief pitchers are the bulls and the bullpen represents their pen. Late arrivers to ball games in the late 19th century were cordoned off into standing room only areas in foul territory. Because the fans were herded like cattle, this area became known as the bullpen, a designation which was later transferred over to the relief pitchers who warmed up there. At the turn of the century, outfield fences were often adorned with advertisements for Bull Durham Tobacco."

"text": "\"Difference Between Dutch and German• Categorized under Culture, Miscellaneous | Difference Between Dutch and German Dutch vs German Dutch is a Germanic language spoken in numerous European territories. Countries that speak Dutch as a native language are Belgium, Netherlands and Suriname. There are smaller communities as well, in France and Germany, as well as many former colonies of the Dutch, that use it as a first language. The Dutch language is very similar to various West Germanic languages, for instance, German and English. It gave rise to many other creole languages, including one of the official languages spoken in South Africa, Afrikaans. Like Dutch, German is also a West Germanic language that is closely related to English. In Europe, it is the first language spoken in Germany and Austria, and amongst a large section of the natives in Switzerland. There are other communities outside of Europe that widely speak German, especially in the US, Canada, Argentina and Brazil. Roughly speaking, Dutch lies somewhere between German and English (Germanic). There are some conspicuous similarities between the vocabularies of English and Dutch, as well as between Dutch and German."

"text": "April 4, 2013 by dhgbeth Why is “Pennsylvania Dutch” called “Dutch”? What’s that language that the Amish speak? It’s called “Pennsylvania Dutch” or just “Dutch”. It confusing because it’s not the Dutch that people in Holland speak – it’s a dialect of German. So why is everything in Amish country is called “Dutch” when the dialect spoken is really German? This will require a short history lesson, so bear with us. Deutschland, the homeland The original Anabaptist Christian movement (meaning “re-baptizers”) began in the 1500’s in German-speaking Switzerland. Many Anabaptists lived in the mountains around Bern, Switzerland, the Alsace-Lorraine and the German Palatinate. In 1693, a conservative sect of these Swiss Anabaptists broke away from the main branch and followed the teachings of Jakob Amman, later known as the Amish. The main branch of the movement was eventually called the Mennonites, after a priest from Holland named Menno Simons."

I’ve always understood why people believe Dutch and German are similar, because technically Dutch can be seen as a dialect of German. However, the stretch from Dutch to Danish was surprising to me and, after some research, I can now see why people believe these languages are similar. Both Are Germanic Languages There are also sub-groups in the Germanic languages: West Germanic, East Germanic, and North Germanic. Dutch falls in the category of West Germanic, along with German, Afrikaans, English, and West German. Sadly, East German is not used much any more, and is on the verge of extinction. Danish is categorized under North Germanic, which also includes Norwegian, Icelandic, and Swedish. Even though both Dutch and Danish are Germanic languages, there have striking differences. Grammar Danish still uses the æ , whereas Dutch does not."

"text": "Dutch between German and English Posted by Transparent Language on Oct 22, 2008 in Dutch Language Dutch: More like German or more like English? Dutch is often called the bridge language between German and English. And it is understandable why. In one case Dutch seems very alike German and in the other Dutch seems very alike English. I think it’s both true. Okay, important differences between Dutch and German you’d have to keep in mind: in Dutch we don’t use cases for noun words. And we don’t have the ‘ringel-s’ à βSome say that Dutch has an overlay of German likeness due to linguistic influence, but that on a basic level, Dutch is more like English. While others say that Dutch is more like German because like German it is a ‘verb second language’ and sends the finite verb to the end of the sentence in subordinate clauses. I think this is also the case in English though. In the next few examples, you can clearly see how Dutch is more similar to German one time and more similar to English the next."

German is the most difficult of the four. It has the most complex grammar and the most irregularities. Once you know it, you still have to deal with the fact that even if written German is quite uniform, with minimal variations in Austria and Switzerland, spoken German is strikingly heterogeneous. I have lived in Frankfurt-am-Main and in Göttingen. The German that I learned in the U. S. at secondary school and university served me well there, even if some features of the Hessian dialect spoken in Frankfurt-am-Main, particularly the evolution of the historical intervocalic voiced velar stop into an alveolar-palatal fricative, e.g. sagen [ˈzɑːʒə̃] ‘to say’, took some getting used to."

Getty Images/Credit: Roger Holdenby Hyde Flippo Updated January 16, 2018First of all, we can quickly dispose of the \"\"Pennsylvania Dutch\"\" misnomer. The term is more properly \"\"Pennsylvania German\"\" because the so-called Pennsylvania Dutch have nothing to do with Holland, the Netherlands, or the Dutch language. These settlers originally came from German-speaking areas of Europe and spoke a dialect of German they refer to as \"\"Deitsch\"\" (Deutsch). It is this word \"\"Deutsch\"\" (German) that has led to the second misconception about the origin of the term Pennsylvania Dutch. Did Deutsch Become Dutch? This popular explanation of why the Pennsylvania Germans are often incorrectly called Pennsylvania Dutch fits into the \"\"plausible\"\" category of myths. At first, it seems logical that English-speaking Pennsylvanians simply confused the word \"\"Deutsch\"\" for \"\"Dutch.\"\" But then you have to ask yourself, were they really that ignorant—and wouldn't the Pennsylvania Dutch themselves have bothered to correct people constantly calling them \"\"Dutchmen\"\"?"

"title": "http://padutch.net/what-is-pd/\nWhat is Pennsylvania Dutch?",
"text": "What is Pennsylvania Dutch? Pennsylvania Dutch is an American language that developed from the immigration of German speakers to colonial Pennsylvania. Many scholars and some speakers of the language call it Pennsylvania German in order to emphasize its historical connection with German rather than the Dutch (Netherlandic) language. Though it is widely believed that the Dutch in Pennsylvania Dutch is due to a mistranslation of the word Deitsch (or Deutsch, in standard German), that is not correct. In earlier British and American English, both Dutch and German could refer to speakers of what we would today call German. The term Dutch had more of an informal ring than German, so since most active speakers of Pennsylvania Dutch have been rural dwellers of modest social status, they have typically identified themselves as Dutch rather than German when speaking English. Also, very quickly, the Pennsylvania Dutch came to view themselves as distinct from European Germans, as well as German Americans, whom they called Deitschlenner (literally, ‘Germany people’). In Pennsylvania Dutch itself, the word Deitsch can be translated as either ‘Pennsylvania Dutch’ or ‘German’. See the 1950 article by Dr. Don Yoder, “‘Pennsylvania Dutch’ … Or ‘Pennsylvania German’?”Dr. Yoder, who was the leading figure in Pennsylvania Dutch studies, passed away on August 11, 2015, at the age of 93."

Since 1782, the bald eagle has been the United States' national emblem and mascot. The bald eagle isn't actually bald; it gets its name because its white head against its dark brown body makes it seem bald from a distance. Even though they are a symbol for freedom in the United States, these birds are known for harassing smaller birds and stealing their prey, according to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. According to PBS Nature, Benjamin Franklin once said, \"\"For my own part, I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen the representative of our country. He is a bird of bad moral character. He does not get his living honestly. … Besides he is a rank coward: The little king bird not bigger than a sparrow, attacks him boldly, and drives him out of the district.\"\" Franklin wanted the wild turkey to be the national bird, according to the American Eagle Foundation. Size Bald eagles have a massive wingspread of about 7 feet (2.13 meters), according to the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service."

In most Native cultures, eagles are considered medicine birds with impressive magical powers, and play a major role in the religious ceremonies of many tribes. Sponsored Links Among the Pueblo tribes, eagles are considered one of the six directional guardians, associated with the upward direction, spirituality, and balance. The Zunis carve stone eagle fetishes for protection, ascribing to them both healing and hunting powers, and the Eagle Dance is one of the most important traditional dances held by the Hopi and other Pueblo tribes. In the mythology of some tribes, Eagle plays a leadership role (either as king of the birds, or as a chief who humans interact with.) In other legends, Eagle serves as a messenger between humans and the Creator. The golden eagle, also known as the \"\"war eagle,\"\" is particularly associated with warriors and courage in battle, and it is golden eagle feathers that were earned by Plains Indian men as war honors and worn in their feather headdresses. ( In some tribes, this practice continues to this day, and eagle feathers are still given to soldiers returning from war or people who have achieved a great accomplishment.) In some Northwest Coast tribes, the floor used to be dusted with eagle down at potlatches and other ceremonies as a symbol of peace and hospitality. Because eagles are considered such a powerful medicine animal, the hunting or killing of eagles was restricted by many taboos."

"text": "\"Home » Classroom What Is the Meaning of the American Eagle Symbolism? By Hallie Engel; Updated September 29, 2017The Great Seal is used on many official documents, including passports. On the Great Seal of the United States, a bald eagle majestically spreads his wings in a show of power. The bird represents freedom, thanks to its ability to soar through the skies, but was also chosen for its power and strength, and a belief held at the time of the seal's creation in the 18th century that it only lived in the U. S. Other Symbols Related to the Eagle The bald eagle on the Great Seal of the United States is surrounded by other powerful symbols. In his talons, the eagle holds a quiver of arrows and an olive branch, representing war and peace. The shield on the eagle is red, white and blue, colors taken from the American flag. White signifies purity and innocence, red, hardiness and valor and blue vigilance, perseverance and justice. The shield or escutcheon, which is held by the eagle without assistance, demonstrates that the American states \"\"ought to rely on their own virtue,\"\" according to the State Department. The number 13 also appears on the seal several times, as it has 13 stars above the eagle's head, arranged in a constellation signifying a new nation taking its place among the other countries in the world, 13 stripes on the shield and 13 arrows, all representative of the original 13 colonies. References U. S. Department of State: The Great Seal of the United States State Symbols USA: American Eagle American Bald Eagle Information: The Eagle, Our National Emblem About the Author Hallie Engel is a food and lifestyle writer whose work has appeared in several international publications."

As you probably know, the eagle feather is sacred for some Native Americans. That’s why probably plenty of Native Americans get eagle tattoos, feather tattoos and related tattoos. Hindu mythology: the eagle is found in the Hindu culture also. Take for example Garuda – used to have an eagle beak. The legend says he was so big, he could even block the entire sun. While this is not true, the legend is interesting. I just love how ancient people used to think/use the eagle symbol so much. Greek mythology: Do you know that the eagle is the symbol of Zeus?"

Certified Silver Eagles are coins which have been submitted for grading, and are certified with a certain grade by a professional coin rating company like NGC or PCGS.

"text": "\"United States Coins American Silver Eagles American Silver Eagles The American silver eagle came along after silver stockpiles teemed with excess at the National Defense Stockpile in the 1970s. With the tens of millions of ounces in stockpiled silver, the United States government began to look for a way to sell off some of its reserves without crashing the price of silver. Despite strong resistance from mining companies and others in the bullion business, Congress began drafting plans in 1982 for new silver coins as part of the strategy for reducing silver stockpiles. The initial bills drafted died in the House of Representatives. But in 1985 the Liberty Coin Act was passed and signed into law by president Ronald Reagan, ushering in the era of the American silver eagle, a coin that would become one of the most popular silver bullion items ever. Silver American eagles were first issued on September 1, 1986 as a result of the Liberty Coin Act empowering the Treasury to mint and issue silver bullion coins. Purity is set by law to be 0.999 fine (99.9% pure silver) and weight is stipulated as one troy ounce. The face value of the American silver eagle is $1 and the Walking Liberty design on the obverse side was borrowed from Adolph A. Weinman's popular Walking Liberty half dollar, which was produced from 1916 through 1947. The reverse of the silver eagle boasts the seal of the United States of America with 13 stars representing the original colonies. Silver eagles have enjoyed spectacular success with an almost constant increase in mintage year after year."

Accounting for Preferred Stock Redemption Rights A company's earnings available for common stockholders helps it determine its earnings per share, or EPS, one of the most commonly used measures of corporate profitability. Calculating earnings available for common stockholders isn't complicated; you simply subtract one number from another. The Formula To calculate earnings available for common stockholders, take the company's after-tax profit -- also called net income or earnings -- and subtract any amount of that profit that must be distributed to a senior class of shareholders. Dividends on preferred stock are the most common example of such a distribution. Holders of preferred shares typically get guaranteed dividends, which must be paid before any earnings can become available to holders of common stock. Example Say a corporation reports an after-tax profit of $15 million. The company has 1 million shares of preferred stock outstanding, and each preferred share is guaranteed a dividend of 30 cents per quarter."

Taxes 2/04/2014 @ 9:04AM 307,991 views Tax Geek Tuesday: Reasonable Compensation In The S Corporation Arena As tax advisors, we often find ourselves at odds with our S corporation shareholder-employee clients when it comes to setting compensation. Typically, the shareholder-employee wants to minimize compensation in favor of distributions to reduce payroll taxes. We, however, are faced with a body of governing authority that establishes that the shareholder-employee cannot avoid the imposition of payroll taxes by forgoing “reasonable” compensation. Unfortunately, until recently this governing authority had offered little in terms of how to actually determine this “reasonable” compensation, leaving us with sparse guidance upon which to rely when recommending salary amounts to their clients. Over the past few years, however, three cases have emerged that provide the direction tax advisors have been seeking. JD & Associates, Watson, and Mc Alary shed much needed light on the methodology the IRS and the courts employ in determining reasonable compensation in the S corporation arena, providing an analytical approach tax advisors can follow when guiding clients. S Corporations and Employment Taxes As pass-through entities, S corporations generally do not pay entity-level tax on their taxable income. Instead, taxable income and other attributes are allocated among the shareholders, who report the items and pay the corresponding tax on their personal income tax returns."

Chapter Outline Study Objective 1 - Understand the Concept of Sustainable Income¨ The value of a company is a function of its future cash flows.¨ When analysts use this year's net income to estimate future cash flows, they must make sure that this year's net income does not include irregular revenues, expenses, gains or losses.¨ Net income adjusted for irregular items is referred to as sustainable income.¨ Sustainable income is the most likely level of income to be obtained in the future.§ Sustainable income differs from actual net income by the amount of irregular revenues, expenses, gains, and losses included in this year’s net income.§ Users are interested in sustainable income because it helps them derive an estimate of future earnings without the “noise” of irregular items. Study Objective 2 - Understand how Irregular Items are Presented¨ Irregular items are identified by type on the income statement. Three types of irregular items are reported - discontinued operations, extraordinary items, and changes in accounting principle.¨ Discontinued operations refers to the disposal of a significant component of a business, such as the elimination of a major class of customers or an entire activity.§ When the disposal of a significant component occurs, the income statement should report the gain (or loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax.§ To illustrate, assume that Rozek Inc. has revenues of $2.5 million and expenses of $1.7 million from continuing operations in 2004. The company therefore has income before income taxes of $800,000. During 2004 the company discontinued and sold its unprofitable chemical division. The loss on disposal of the chemical operations (net of $90,000 taxes) was $210,000. Assuming a 30% tax rate on income before income taxes, the income statement presentation would be as follows: ROZEK INC. Income Statement (partial)For the Year Ended December 31, 2004Income before income taxes $800,000Income tax expense 240,000Income before irregular items 560,000Discontinued operations Loss from disposal of chemical division, net of$90,000 income tax saving (210,000)Net Income $350,000¨ Extraordinary items are events and transactions that meet two conditions: They are unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence.§ To be considered unusual, the item should be abnormal and only incidentally related to customary activities of the entity.§ To be regarded as infrequent, the event or transaction should not be reasonably expected to recur in the foreseeable future.§ Both criteria must be evaluated in terms of the environment in which the entity operates.§ Extraordinary items are reported net of tax in a separate section of the income statement immediately below discontinued operations.§ Assume that in 2004 a revolutionary foreign government expropriated property held as an investment by Rozek Inc. If the loss is $70,000 before applicable income taxes of $21,000, the income statement presentation will show a deduction of $49,000, as illustrated below: ROZEK INC. Partial Income Statement For the Year Ended December 31, 2004Income before income taxes $800,000Income tax expense 240,000Income before irregular items 560,000Discontinued operations: Loss from disposal ofchemical division, net of $90,000 income tax saving ( 210,000)Extraordinary item: Expropriation of investment,net of $21,000 income tax saving (49,000)Net income $301,000§ If a transaction or event meets one but not both of the criteria for an extraordinary item, it should be reported in a separate line item in the upper half of the income statement, rather than being reported in the bottom half as an extraordinary item.·"

"text": "\"Return To Publications Download This Publication Control Premiums, Minority Discounts, and Marketability Discountsby Philip Saunders, Jr., Ph. D. The value of the company can be estimated, but cases are usually not about the value of a company but about the value of shareholdings in a company. Shares may be subject to a premium or discounts, depending upon whether they represent controlling or minority interests. All shares are equal, but some are more equal than others, to borrow from George Orwell.16.1 Control Premium16.1 (a) Reasons for Control Premium Control confers value. Stockholders holding a controlling interest in a company can determine the nature of the business; select management; enter into contracts; buy, sell, and pledge assets; borrow money; issue and repurchase stock; register stock for public offering; and liquidate, sell, or merge the company. The controlling party can also set management compensation and perquisites, declare (or not declare) dividends, make capital distributions, and control contracts and payments to third parties. In privately held companies the ability to set compensation iscritical, for owner/managers frequently distribute proceeds as compensation rather than dividends in order to avoid double taxation. Minority stockholders often have minimal influence on these important activities.16.1 (b) Amount of Control Premium Whether anyone will pay a premium for a controlling interest (a control premium) depends largely upon whether the potential buyer believes he or she can enhance the value of the company. If the company is being run satisfactorily by current management and new ownership could neither do better nor create synergies to increase value, what extra value could be created through acquisition? It is the potential for a new owner to increase value that makes buyers willing to pay a premium for control."

"title": "http://definitions.uslegal.com/c/c-corporation/\nC Corporation",
"text": "\"C 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."

Owners and creditors alike have a keen interest in these metrics because they share business risks and rewards in proportion to their share of the funding. Leverage metrics show how a firm's owners and creditors share business risks and rewards. What are Financial Leverage Metrics? Financial leverage metrics compare the funds supplied to a firm by creditors to the funds supplied by owners. If creditors provide more funding than owners, the firm is said to be highly leveraged. Both creditors and owners share enterprise risks and rewards, but in proportion to their share of the funding. Thus, when a high leverage business fails, creditors have more to lose than owners. Why Do Firms Use Leverage? Why would a profitable firm borrow funds when it can continue operating without doing so?"

GENERALTaxation is a general concept for devices used by governments to extract money or other valuable things from people and organizations by the use of law. A tax formula contains at least three elements: the definition of the base, the rate structure, and the identification of the legal taxpayer. The base multiplied by the appropriate rate gives a product, called the tax liability, which is the legal obligation that the taxpayer must meet at specified dates. A tax is identified by the characteristics of its base, such as income in the case of an income tax, the quantity of distilled spirits sold in the case of a liquor tax, and so on."

"text": "\"S CORPORATIONFollow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: buriy A small business has the option of incorporating at the beginning of its existence or after years of doing business. Once it incorporates, it has two choices: to be a regular C corporation by default or to elect S corporation status, a name derived from Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. This status was derived in an effort to make incorporating more attractive to small businesses and allow them to enjoy some of the benefits of corporate status while avoiding some of the drawbacks. While most small businesses are eligible for S status, there are some requirements that must be met, such as limitations on the number and kind of stockholders the corporation may have. In Choosing a Legal Structure for Your Business , Stuart Handmaker explains that \"\"Essentially, there isn't any difference between a C corporation and an S corporation. Each of them is a corporation, and each one has the same characteristics, shareholders, directors, officers, records, minute books, problems, and the like. The only real difference is that the S corporation has filed a special form with the Internal Revenue Service stating that it wants to be an S corporation. \"\" What makes the S corporation different from the C corporation, then, is that it has special status in the eyes of the IRS. In short, the S corporation is viewed as a partnership or sole proprietorship for taxation purposes. This means that the corporation itself is not taxed, as C corporations are; rather the S corporation's profits are passed on to its shareholders, who pay income tax on that money."

"text": "What is 'Accumulated Earnings and Profits'Accumulated earnings and profits (E & P) is an accounting term applicable to stockholders of corporations. Accumulated earnings and profits are a company's net profits after paying dividends to the stockholders, and serves as a measure of the economic ability of a corporation to pay such cash distributions. Next Up Accumulated Income PRegulation PRegulation EBREAKING DOWN 'Accumulated Earnings and Profits'End-of-year accumulated earnings and profits is the sum of beginning-of-year E & P and current period E & P less distributions to shareholders during the period. Income and losses are part of a period's E & P, but certain items - recognized for financial accounting purposes but not for income tax reporting purposes - are subject to adjustment. Since E & P is used as a metric for the capacity of a firm to pay distributions, items such as tax-exempt income or nondeductible expenses, which factor into income tax reporting, must be added back or subtracted from the E & P account. Calculating E & P each year is painstaking work for tax departments within a company, but it is very important to keep records current because they come into play for many corporate transactions. For example, a C corporation conversion to REIT requires a thorough accounting analysis of accumulated E & P before it is allowed to proceed. Is Accumulated E & P the same as Retained Earnings? No. Even though they may seem synonymous, technically they are different primarily because E & P is determinant in a corporation's ability to fund distributions."

"text": "\"MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONSFollow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: Scott Maxwell A merger occurs when one firm assumes all the assets and all the liabilities of another. The acquiring firm retains its identity, while the acquired firm ceases to exist. A majority vote of shareholders is generally required to approve a merger. A merger is just one type of acquisition. One company can acquire another in several other ways, including purchasing some or all of the company's assets or buying up its outstanding shares of stock. In general, mergers and other types of acquisitions are performed in the hopes of realizing an economic gain. For such a transaction to be justified, the two firms involved must be worth more together than they were apart. Some of the potential advantages of mergers and acquisitions include achieving economies of scale, combining complementary resources, garnering tax advantages, and eliminating inefficiencies. Other reasons for considering growth through acquisitions include obtaining proprietary rights to products or services, increasing market power by purchasing competitors, shoring up weaknesses in key business areas, penetrating new geographic regions, or providing managers with new opportunities for career growth and advancement. Since mergers and acquisitions are so complex, however, it can be very difficult to evaluate the transaction, define the associated costs and benefits, and handle the resulting tax and legal issues. \"\""

"text": "The United States’ High Tax Burden on Personal Dividend Income March 5, 2014Kyle Pomerleau Download FISCAL FACT No 416: The United States’ High Tax Burden on Personal Dividend Income Download FF416 Data Set Key Findings The combined federal and state top marginal personal dividend tax rate in the United States is 28.6 percent. The United States’ top marginal tax rate on personal dividend income is 9 th highest in the OECD and 5 percentage points higher than average of the 34 member nations. Taxpayers in certain states face top marginal rates far higher than the OECD average; Californian taxpayers face the 6 th highest top marginal rate in the OECD at 33 percent. This double tax on corporate profits biases corporate behavior, leads to lower levels of saving and investment, lower wages, and slower economic growth. Introduction Dividends are payments made by a corporation to an individual who owns that corporation’s stock. Corporations distribute these dividends to investors from their after-tax profits. Once these shareholders receive this dividend income, they must pay personal income taxes on it. Unfortunately, taxpayers in the United States currently face a high tax burden on personal dividends income. The United States’ top federal marginal tax rate on qualified [1] dividend income is 23.8 percent. U. S. states also tax dividend income at rates ranging from zero to 13.3 percent. ["

Thus, if levered firms are priced too high, rational investors will simply borrow on personal accounts to buy shares in unlevered firms. Related Terms: Debt leverage The amplification of the return earned on equity when an investment or firm is financed partially with borrowed money.degree of operating leveragea factor that indicates how a percentage change in sales, from the existing or current level, will affect company profits; it is calculated as contribution margin divided by net income; it is equal to (1 - margin of safety percentage)degree of operating leverage (DOL)Percentage change in profits given a 1 percent change in sales. Financial leverage Use of debt to increase the expected return on equity. Financial leverage is measured by the ratio of debt to debt plus equity.financial leverage The equity (ownership) capital of a business can serve as the basis for securing debt capital (borrowing money). In this way, a business increases the total capital available to invest in its assets and can make more sales and more profit. The strategy is to earn operating profit, or earnings before interest and income tax (EBIT), on the capital supplied from debt that is more than the interest paid on the debt capital. A financial leverage gain equals the EBIT earned on debt capital minus the interest on the debt. A financial leverage gain augments earnings on equity capital. A business must earn a rate of return on its assets (ROA) that is greater than the interest rate on its debt to make a financial leverage gain."

"text": "\"A savvy business owner must carefully consider both nontax and tax ramifications when deciding how to structure the business. It is unwise to select a business structure based solely upon tax considerations. But, it is also unwise to neglect to consider the tax impact of your decision. For example, if you run a business that engages in operations that are considered \"\"risky\"\" or subject to frequent lawsuits, your legal advisers are likely to urge you to incorporate or form an LLC. While doing so will complicate your taxes, you would be foolish to put your assets at risk for the sake of a easy-to-prepare tax return. Nontax considerations that may make incorporation the best choice areease of obtaining investment capitalincreased ability to recapitalize and reorganize the business as it grows largerincreased latitude in succession planning In addition, there are tax advantages. Incorporating provides access to tax strategies that aren't available otherwise, such as accumulating income within the corporation or providing income to the shareholders using both salary and distributions. There are some potential disadvantages as well—although with recent tax law changes these are not as discouraging as they were. For example, income of a regular corporation may be \"\"taxed twice.\"\" The income can be taxed on the corporation's own tax return and once again on the shareholder's individual return."

"text": "\"GOLD CLASSICS LIBRARY - OPINIONby Dr. Edward Flaherty Author's preface - Is the Federal Reserve System secretly owned and covertly controlled by powerful foreign banking interests? If so, how? These claims, made chiefly by authors Eustace Mullins (1983) and Gary Kah (1991) and repeated by many others, are quite serious because the Fed is the United States central bank and controls U. S. monetary policy. By changing the supply of money in circulation, the Fed influences interest rates, affecting the mortgage payments of millions of families, causing the financial markets to boom or collapse, and prompting the economy to expand or to stumble into recession. Such awesome power presumably would be used to benefit the U. S. economy. Mullins and Kah both argued that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is owned by foreigners. Although the New York Fed is just one of twelve Federal Reserve banks, controlling it, they claimed, is tantamount to control of the entire System. Foreigners use their command of the New York Fed to manipulate U. S. monetary policy for their own and, as Kah asserted, to further their global political goals, namely the establishment of the sinister New World Order. This essay examines the accuracy of these claims. Specifically, it investigates the charge that the New York Federal Reserve Bank is owned, directly or indirectly, by foreign elements, whether the New York Fed in effect runs the whole Federal Reserve System, and whether its enormous annual profits accrue primarily to foreigners or to the U. S government."

Almost nothing is more effective at killing bacteria, viruses, fungus and mold. It’s also inexpensive and a little bit goes a long way. Unfortunately, chlorine bleach can be as harmful to our health as it is effective at killing germs. The fumes from chlorine can sting our eyes, burn our lungs, give us headaches and cause major health issues with long-term exposure. Household disinfectants that contain chlorine bleach can also make our homes look clean, while leaving behind dirty chemical residue in the air and on the surfaces that touch our food, our body soap, our toothbrushes and more. A Safer Alternative to Chlorine Bleach White vinegar is a highly effective alternative that kills nearly all household germs, bacteria, mold, and mildew without the harmful fumes or residue of chlorine bleach. Vinegar is just as economical and it is completely safe to use around children and pets. Vinegar is also biodegradable, so you can wash your sinks, drain and toilets without worrying about chemicals being flushed into your local water system. If you prefer premixed cleaning solutions to vinegar, look for natural alternatives that use hydrogen peroxide, citric acid, grapefruit seed extract, tea tree oil or thyme oil to effectively disinfect your home."

It was a hazmat style operation to scoop the shit out of the little compartment under the aft end of the vberth where that built in seat is. We found that a decent painting respirator from lowes works wonders for getting up close and personal with shit. After scooping it out and then cleaning the respirator does wonders when you paint the bilge areas After cleaning out the leakage we came back the next day and cut out and removed the head, all hoses, fittings and the holding tank. We then did a single rough clean and rinse of the compartment the leakage was in and the big v-berth compartment that the holding tank had been in. As to odor.. the next day we cleaned all the lockers and bilge areas twice with oxyclean and a brush on a handle, then we cleaned twice with the brush and a very strong clorox solution. the second clorox cleaning we put it on strong and didn’t rinse it till the next day. Just left it brushed on. The next day we cleaned twice with vinegar water."

Different strategies include using abrasives such as gravel or washers, using acids such as muriatic acid or vinegar, using a battery and washing soda, using a tank coating kit, or using a combination of the aforementioned strategies. No matter which method you use, clamping a hose to the gas tank outlet hole like shown here (if possible) makes life a lot easier. Abrasives Many people recommend using nuts and bolts inside the tank to help scrape or knock off big chunks of rust. While this can be an effective way to start the cleaning process, it will probably not be entirely effective by itself. Also, doing this in a step-through moped can be very frustrating because it will be difficult to remove all of the nuts and bolts. Ice can be used as a substitute for nuts and bolts -- it will still act as an abrasive, but it will melt, which will save you from having to dig 50-100 nuts and washers out of your gas tank. NOTE: you can use a section of chain, tied off w/ fishing line to mostly eliminate the issue of getting all the nuts and bolts out. Only problem is the rare instance when the chain works itself into a knot inside the tank.

In doing this it reduces the growth of mildew and mold. That being said, the Damp Rid website describes it as a nontoxic inorganic mineral salt called Calcium Chloride which is very clever little crystals that only get going when the humidity goes above sixty per cent. They lay dormant when the levels are below sixty per cent and will not harm plants, children, or animals. The Claim From evaluating the feedback on Damp Rid it really does seem to make a difference. The crystals are completely odorless and don’t release any fumes or gasses. These crystals absorb the excess moisture turning the crystals into a solid mass which then release the excess water into the bottom of the container. Due to this you must take extra care when emptying, you don’t want dirty salty water all over your carpets, having to repeat the process. The amount of water released and how long it takes to release water depends on the moisture content in the air. The Hype The exciting thing about this product is that it doesn’t release fumes or gasses and removes excess water from the air, an ideal choice for anyone suffering with asthma or allergies."

In many households it is one of the most commonly used and relied upon cleaners. It is most infamously known for it’s ability to keep clothes white, to assist in removing mold and mildew from a shower or tub and it’s disinfectant properties. For these specific purposes chlorine bleach certainly can be classified as effective, but for quite sometime now the negative side effects and potential dangers to using this cleaning product have been discussed in the public spotlight.advertisement - learn more The most obvious danger of Chlorine Bleach is printed clearly on the label. It is a heavily corrosive material capable of irritating the eyes, skin and respiratory tract often by simply inhaling the gases its use emits. This inhalation has been noted to deteriorate the lungs and esophagus lining in addition to the scarring of the respiratory tract that I previously mentioned. These side effects may not occur to a visibly notable extent with each exposure to bleach, but the chemicals impact is never favourable, especially over a long period of time. It is important to note that there is no FDA-type organization that regulates the cleaning products that are brought into your home. Instead groups such as the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) make warnings of the use of Chlorine Bleach publicly available."

Follow 8 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: it isn't necessary anyway as pine-sol is a disinfectant. Dararie · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment Asker's rating Pine Sol Bleach Source (s):https://shrinkurl.im/a8OQ9als · 1 year ago0 0 Comment I do not use chemical cleaners any more but if I remember correctly, pine sol has ammonia in it- you never want to mix bleach and ammonia - this produces a very dangerous gas. Even if it does not have ammonia, you should never mix cleaning chemicals- it can be very dangerous to breathe or to the skin. Mixing these cleaners will not make either any more effective in disinfecting - to be honest a steam cleaner, hot water, vinegar and scrub brush will do a fine job of disinfecting and will be safe for breathing and handling. Worshipful Heart · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment If you mix bleach with cleaners such as pine-sol, you will release chlorine gas, and that can make you very sick & cause death in sensitve individuals.

Looking closely at it you will detect a lot of particles and little globs of solid zinc stuck to it. This item may work fine for rabbits, but it is dangerous for parrot-type birds as they can easily break off these toxic particles with their strong beaks potentially ingesting them. Wires: The problem with galvanized wires: Galvanized means iron / steel is coated with zinc, which is highly toxic. Please refer to Heavy Metal Toxicities in Birds. The wire used for aviaries and large breeder cages is generally galvanized wire. The most common hardware used on cages, such as nuts, bolts, chain, washers and quick links are either galvanized or zinc plated. Galvanized products are dull, plated products are shiny. Galvanizing is used to coat steel or iron with zinc."

Each of these solutions is as effective as the others, however you will have to decide which will be best for you depending on the area of the odor as well as your preference in cleaning supplies and products.

"text": "How Do Chemicals Keep your house clean? There are hundreds of specialty cleaners on the market that claim to fight stains, blast mildew, and get tough on grime. But how do these chemical cleaners work to get the job done? There is chemistry behind every cleaner underneath your kitchen sink. In many environments, like hospitals, schools, and even homes, these chemical cleaners are essential to remove harmful bacteria, mold removal and reduce the spread of infection. Chemical cleaners can also be used for aesthetic appeal—to keep a surface clean and free from dust and dirt. Cleaning products are made with a number of potent chemicals designed to eradicate contaminants, such as bathroom and tile cleaners, stain removers, all-purpose cleaners, glass cleaners, and furniture polishes. While every cleaning product has its purpose, they each contain different chemical ingredients. Before you use any cleaner in your home or business, it’s important to read labels carefully. Most over-the-counter cleaners are made with toxic ingredients and should be kept out of reach of children."

There are many ways to add colour into Jewellery work, applying patinas are one of the simplest methods; requiring very little equipment or in some kinds expense. Copper takes a patina especially well. Every metal has its own personality; I like to think of Copper as an Old, Smelly, Dirty, Drunk, Homeless Man; if you've worked with it, you understand why. Because Copper is such a dirty Metal it likes to oxidize; in simple terms: put it next to a chemical and it will react by changing colours. This process is called Patination. There are hundreds of Chemical Patina Recipes; many requiring expensive, hard to find and potentially dangerous Chemicals, all things I like to avoid whenever possible. Instead, my favorite Patinas are made by more common household chemicals. My current favorite household patina, is a brilliant blue made by using: 1.

"text": "Etienne Voss Absorb Paint Fumes Quickly And Safely By Amy Westervelt Clean & Deodorize Oh, the smell of a freshly painted room! It signals the beginning of a creative new endeavor and a fresh, clean start. It also signals that it’s time to open a window and put on the fan! But if the fan isn’t getting rid of the fumes fast enough and you’re starting to get a headache, try absorbing the fumes instead of swirling them around the room. Salt, lemon and vinegar all have the power to soak up paint smells pretty quickly. And because you’re absorbing the chemicals instead of blowing them around, they won’t linger in your air ducts or spread to other parts of the house. Absorb the paint fumes First, grab some bowls and fill them halfway with water. Add a few slices of lemon and/or a quarter cup of salt to each bowl. Or instead of lemon & salt, fill a few bowls halfway with vinegar. Place the bowls around the room and let them sit overnight or until the paint smell is gone."

"text": "Every cook has burned or boiled a pot dry at one time or another. If the burned pot or pan is stainless-steel, however, you are in luck. Stainless-steel pots and pans are among the safest forms of cookware, as long as they receive proper care and usage. If you burn a stainless-steel pot or pan dry, it will still be safe to cook with as long as you clean it well. The Facts Stainless steel remains one of the safest forms of cookware because it does not require a high heat level during cooking. Because stainless steel heats more efficiently than other varieties of cookware, you do not need to turn the heat higher than required. Also safe for broiling, stainless-steel pans can be used in ovens up to 500 degrees. Stainless-steel cookware does not get treated by chemicals, so it is considered a healthy choice for cooking meals in. Dangers Never allow any type of cooking pot to overheat and/or burn dry. If this occurs, it may smoke and cause a kitchen fire, handles may melt and the bottoms of non-stainless-steel pans may melt."
