Army's Special Operations Forces--the Green Berets, the Rangers, and Delta Force--appear to have been deployed to the Middle East. Another elite group, the 82 nd Airborne Division, also trains for extraordinary missions. How do these four elite units differ, and what specifically do they do? Advertisement The Green Berets, Rangers, and Delta Force all report to Army Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg, N. C. Special Ops are specially trained teams that support conventional Army operations or undertake missions of their own when conventional troops are stymied. ( Click here to read the Special Ops' list of \"\"truths,\"\" including \"\"Humans are more important than Hardware.\"\") The 82 nd Airborne reports to the Army's Forces Command, and according to a spokesperson, is currently conducting \"\"business-as-usual\"\" operations at Fort Bragg.

Lee · 9 years ago4 1 Comment Marine Special Forces Source (s):https://shrink.im/a7Zuq? · 2 years ago0 0 Comment I served four years in the Marine Corps infantry. You have to first understand that the Marine Corps is often referred to do as the bastard child of the military. Meaning when there is any military budget cutbacks the Marine Corps usually gets hit the hardest. This is important because the Marine Corps special forces has gone through a bunch of changes because of these budget cutbacks. Back in the day the two elite special forces was Force Recon and Recon. Force Recon was the more elite and was on the Divisional Level whereas Recon was on the Regimental Level. However because of budget cutbacks during the Clinton era Force Recon and Battalion Recon were brought together. From what I understand there were some differences between Force Recon and Recon during this era but they tried to keep them together under what they referred to as the MAGTF umbrella for budget reasons."

Military berets are usually pushed to the right to free the shoulder that bears the rifle on most soldiers, but the armies of some countries, mostly Europe, South America and Iran have influenced the push to the left.

As an officially required military headdress, its use dates back to the Carlist Wars of Succession for the Spanish Crown in the 1830s by order of Carlist General Tomás de Zumalacárregui who wanted a local and non-costly way to make headgear that was resistant to the mountain weather, easy to care for and could be used on formal occasions. [ citation needed]The French Chasseurs alpins, created in the early 1880s, were the first regular unit to wear the military beret as a standard headgear. These mountain troops were issued with a uniform which included several features which were innovative for the time, notably the large and floppy blue beret which they still retain. This was so unfamiliar a fashion outside France that it had to be described in the Encyclopædia Britannica of 1911 as \"\"a soft cap or tam o'shanter \"\". [ 1]Berets have features that make them attractive to the military: they are cheap, easy to make in large numbers, can be manufactured in a wide range of colors, can be rolled up and stuffed into a pocket or beneath the shirt epaulette without damage, and can be worn with headphones (this is one of the reasons why early tank crews adopted the beret). The beret is not so useful in field conditions for the modern infantryman, who requires protective helmets, and non-camouflage versions are seldom seen on operations."

"text": "The Birth of the Special Forces The term “Special Operations” is nothing new to the American warrior. Long before the Green Berets, there were men stalking the enemy using guerilla tactics in the woods and swamps of America during the French and Indian War. These elite fighting men were known as Rogers’ Rangers. During the Civil War, a Colonel John Singleton Mosby of Virginia formed a band of southern raiders that were extremely effective. Mosby and his hand picked volunteers cut off communications and supplies lines, destroyed railroads and raided many posts behind enemy lines. Because these warriors were so cunning and uncanny, Mosby and his cadre came to be known as the “Gray Ghosts. ”During WWII, the Devil’s Brigade was a joint Canadian-American venture activated in July of 1942, at Fort William Henry Harrison. Darby’s Rangers was activated in June of 1942, in Ireland. They fought throughout Western Europe, but achieved their greatest fame when they scaled the cliffs of Pointe du Hoc, during the D-Day invasion of Normandy. Yet, another special operations group was Merrill’s Marauders, a 3,000-man force, who fought the Japanese in the Burmese jungles and won 5 major battles and 17 skirmishes, causing heavy casualties to be suffered by Japanese forces."

"text": "FROM BATTLEFIELD TO BOARDROOMThe Green Berets’ elite military training is the perfect preparation for a CEOColin James Nagy & Brady Moore May 11, 2015 (Blake Miles/Green Beret Foundation)Normally known as the “Quiet Professionals,” Green Berets have long been characterized as a community that shies away from the spotlight, a profession where humility and quietly doing your job well is prized over showmanship and accolades. But 34-year old Nate Boyer’s journey to the NFL has garnered headlines because of its unlikely story: a 29-year-old walking on to the University of Texas football team as a long snapper after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan as a Green Beret. Boyers was signed by the Seattle Seahawks after the draft concluded on May 2. It is an unlikely transition, sure, but one that shows what is possible when you take some of the most highly-trained men in America and set them toward a difficult goal. There’s versatility, there’s work ethic, and there’s defying what conventional wisdom says is possible. All things honed during long deployments in some of the most austere conditions on earth. To put it into business terms, a prized commodity that can add a large amount of value is not being priced correctly. As Green Berets return from long deployments in Iraq, Afghanistan and other far-flung places around the world, the Green Beret Foundation’s Next Ridgeline initiative has been thinking about a specific kind of transition: helping members of this qualified find success in the business world after their service. I have previously outlined why Special Forces are some of the strongest candidates for precisely this kind of successful transition. But after talking to some of the smartest businesses in the world in the next phase of our research, myself and other advocates realized that while these businesses and CEO’s may understand the potential at a high level, it is worth briefly unpacking the specific skill-sets and training that molds superior soldiers, and by the same token, superior businessmen."

Photo Nabil Ismail/AFP/ Getty Images The Delta Force is one of two military outfits in the United States charged with counterterrorist operations. Like the other, the Navy 's Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU), Delta Force can deploy at a moment's notice. But unlike DEVGRU, Delta Force doesn't officially exist. In the 1970s, the world began to see an outbreak of extremism. Groups like Germany 's Red Army Faction and the Palestinian Liberation Organization introduced new words into the global vocabulary -- words like terrorism and hijacking. As a response to the sudden and widespread emergence of terrorist ideologies, United States Army Colonel Charles Beckwith proposed that the government create a small, skilled tactical team capable of responding with quick and deadly force to terrorist activities [source: SOC ]. In 1977, Beckwith assembled the force and recruited from the Green Berets, the Army Rangers and the Airborne divisions. Beckwith created a grueling training course based on that of the British Special Air Service (SAS) -- an elite commando unit capable of carrying out highly specialized missions. Beckwith spent a year in an exchange program with the SAS and was inspired by his experience [source: SOC ]."

"text": "\"A group of U. S. Navy SEALs clear a room during a no-light live-fire drill near San Diego on Dec. 4, 2015. Daniel Stevenson/Navy Associated Press By Lolita C. Baldor WASHINGTON -- The men in the U. S. military's most dangerous jobs care little about political correctness or gender equality. And they have a message for their political leadership. When they are fighting in the shadows or bleeding on the battlefield, women have no place on their teams. In blunt and, at times, profanity-laced answers to a voluntary survey conducted by the Rand Corp., more than 7,600 of America's special operations forces spoke with nearly one voice. Allowing women to serve in Navy SEAL, Army Delta or other commando units could hurt their effectiveness and lower the standards, and it may drive men away from the dangerous posts. An overwhelming majority of those who agreed to respond to the RAND survey said they believe women don't have the physical strength or mental toughness to do the grueling jobs. Some of the broader conclusions of the survey, taken from May through July 2014, were disclosed by The Associated Press earlier this year, but the detailed results and comments written by respondents had not been released. The Pentagon released the summer survey and other documents when Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced last week that he was opening all combat jobs to women. That decision was based on recommendations by the military service secretaries and the leaders of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Special Operations Command."

The Navy SEAL Teams were designed as the maritime counterpart to the Army Special Forces “Green Berets.” They deployed immediately to Vietnam to operate in the deltas and thousands of rivers and canals in Vietnam, and effectively disrupted the enemy’s maritime lines of communication. The SEAL Teams’ mission was to conduct counter guerilla warfare and clandestine maritime operations. Initially, SEALs advised and trained Vietnamese forces, such as the LDNN (Vietnamese SEALs). Later in the war, SEALs conducted nighttime Direct Action missions such as ambushes and raids to capture prisoners of high intelligence value. The SEALs were so effective that the enemy named them, “the men with the green faces.” At the war’s height, eight SEAL platoons were in Vietnam on a continuing rotational basis.

S. military is currently structured so that all branches are capable of performing special missions, including projecting force outside of formal combat zones. The Navy SEALs probably get the most attention in the media, but the Army Special Forces, the Marine Special Operations Command and the USAF's Pararescue teams are all equally highly trained combat and survival specialists. Delta Force is an ultra-elite special-ops force composed of the best of the best from all branches of the military. Navy SEALs SEAL stands for sea, air and land, and Navy SEALs are trained to perform rescue and combat missions in all three environments. SEALs undergo a rigorous seven-month training program including basic training, SCUBA training and land warfare training. According to the official SEAL website, only 250 of 1000 candidates who enter SEAL training every year complete the program. After completing SEAL training, SEALs undergo another year of specialized training before they are mission-ready. Army Special Forces The Army Special Forces are also known informally as the Green Berets. The Army Special Forces were first formed in 1952, and came into their own during the Vietnam-war era as a jungle counter-insurgency force. These highly trained military professionals act as scouts for the entire U. S. military, and are experts in unconventional warfare."

Experts in direct action and masters of unconventional warfare, Special Forces soldiers infiltrate foreign countries, provide humanitarian aid, raise armies, and train them for combat effectiveness. Here are a few things you might not know about them.1. The ending of Dr. Strangelove wasn't so strange after all. During the Cold War, there were contingency plans in case the Soviet Union attempted to roll their tanks across Europe. The goal would be to stop them at all costs, and this would require obliterating key highways, tunnels, airfields, and bridges. While conventional explosives might do the job, it would take hours to achieve, and only slow the Soviet advance by days at best, when weeks were needed. Project GREENLIGHT sought to address this problem.

Despite the Hollywood heroism of the hit single, the album offered an occasionally gritty portrait of the war and, unlike Johnny Seay's American Reflections album from the same year, focused on the dedication and hardships of American men and women in Vietnam rather than explicitly political or patriotic concerns. Sadler wrote all of the material himself, and his sentimental vignettes struck a chord with Americans who were desperate for a less-contentious perspective on the war. Mostly a historical artifact today, Ballads of the Green Berets is a nostalgic trip back to a tumultuous time. Ballads of the Green Berets CDby SSgt Barry Sadler Click for sample1.

It's a huge market and an article I read this week said that the marketing is subtly aimed at gays and lesbians, portraying slightly homoerotic scenes and so under-the-radar that most straight people don't pick up on it. If you are gay, you will notice it more. I would say that this ad falls under that category. I find a lot of the American Apparel ads to be similar."

And while God rested, the devil created Heavy Metal ...1967 - Before the Storm Lately things don't seem the same... ( Jimi Hendrix Experience - Purple Haze)Unlike the creation of, well, creation, which (allegedly) only took six days, Heavy Metal took a slightly longer bath in the primordial stew before making it's grand entrance onto the world stage. For the sake of brevity, we begin our journey in the 1960's. The early half of the decade witnessed an unparalled explosion of popular music. Vanguard acts, such as The Beatles ( I Wanna Hold Your Hand ), The Rolling Stones ( Paint It Black ), The Who ( My Generation ), and The Kinks ( You Really Got Me ), emerged as the \"\"third generation\"\" of rock and roll (behind the blues originators and the Elvis Presely/Little Richard generation). Each of these groups contributed to the creation the \"\"rock band\"\" archetype: loud, unpredictable, rebellious, and even dangerous. By the latter half of the 1960's, the next generation of \"\"rock stars\"\" began to sow first seeds of protypical Heavy Metal. Drawing inspiration from their blues and rock and roll forebearers, \"\"hard rock\"\" acts, like Cream ( Tales of Brave Ulysses ), Led Zeppelin ( Communication Breakdown ), and The Jimi Hendrix Experience ( Voodoo Child ), provided the soundtrack for a generation increasing disaffected by social injustice and the escalating war in Vietnam. What differentiated these acts from their predecessors was technological advances that enabled new heights in sonic disruption (Blue Cheer - Summertime Blues). These acts were markedly louder not only in volume, but in weaving of brutally blunt social commentary into their lyrics."

In the video \"\"Best Friends Forever\"\" it is shown that Brian has a bad habit of killing every friend Danny makes, and even anyone who tries to be his friend as well. This is shown when Danny tries to get him to befriend another ninja named Ninja Jim."

"text": "\"Shark Sonic Duo Carpet and Hard Floor Cleaner review: the good and the bad uncovered October 8, 2014 by Jason Roberts 92 Comments Review of: Shark Sonic Duo Producer: Shark Version: ZZ550Reviewed by: Jason Roberts Rating: 4On October 8, 2014Last modified: April 29, 2016Summary: Shark Sonic Duo has been around for almost 1 year, but most people are still unaware about the great cleaning power of this product. The system scrubs dirt out of every floor, carpet or rug. Shark uses special cleaning solutions, different for carpets and hardwood floor, in order to enhance the power of this machine. The microfiber washable pads are performing 1000 scrubs every single minute! Other features of the Sonic Duo include the Air Glide maneuverability, the head lights and of course, the swivel steering. This is not a hybrid vacuum cleaner per se: it is mostly a scrubber cleaner. Since the is literally no other tool like this produced by competition, I going to rate it using a modified VGMhy scale. More Details I’ve had the Shark Sonic Duo for a couple of weeks now, so I’ve decided to make a review. Right here I’m going to try to give you the most comprehensive guide possible, and see if I can cover all the necessary details, features, as well as all the benefits and queries I’ve noted about this item since I unpacked it. Note, I’ve already analyzed the similar (and yet so different) Bissell Symphony, you can check out that review if you ever need some comparing terms."

"text": "\"By Rheanna O'Neil Bellomo and Sarah Weinberg Mar 13, 2017Facebook / Sonic Drive-In1. It all started in 1953 in Shawnee, OK. What started as a humble root beer stand soon grew to a handful of car-to-kitchen restaurants called Top Hat, the New York Times reports. In 1959, after discovering that name was already trademarked, founder Troy Smith changed the company name to Sonic. A little #tbt love for SONIC founder, Troy Smith, and his first partner in biz, Charlie Pappe. A post shared by SONIC Drive-In (@sonicdrivein) on Jul 11, 2013 at 4:40pm PDT2. It's not named after the hedgehog. Smith couldn't keep the Top Hot name since it was already trademarked, so he went with something inspired by the stand's tagline: \"\"Service with the Speed of Sound.\"\" The first drive-in with this name was opened in 1959 in Stillwater, OK. It's all about the skates and shakes @sonicdrivein #Perfect Form #tbt A post shared by SONIC Drive-In (@sonicdrivein) on Jan 30, 2014 at 12:20pm PST3."

This song has the curious chorus line of: They call Alabama the Crimson Tide Call me Deacon Blues At the time, the University Of Alabama was a football powerhouse, winning the National Championship in 1973 and losing just one game in each of their next two seasons under the direction of their famous coach Paul \"\"Bear\"\" Bryant. Alabama is known as \"\"The Crimson Tide,\"\" a grandiose name that Steely Dan's Walter Becker and Donald Fagen found amusing. The \"\"Deacon\"\" is often thought to be the Wake Forest University \"\"Demon Deacons,\"\" whose football team struggled for much of the '70s, winning just seven games from 1972-1975. According to Fagen, however, that name came from Deacon Jones, a star football player with the Rams and Chargers who got a lot of attention in the media because of his aggressive play and outsized personality. The name fit well into the song, with \"\"Deacon\"\" matching up sonically with \"\"Crimson. \"\" The song is about a guy who Becker describes as a \"\"Triple-L loser.\"\" He told The Wall Street Journal: It's not so much about a guy who achieves his dream but about a broken dream of a broken man living a broken life.\"\" Fagen added: \"\"Many people have assumed the song is about a guy in the suburbs who ditches his life to become a musician."

The place itself was about 28'000 square feet and the DJ booth was a humongous smiling clown's face that was something like 20 feet high by 20 feet wide, with the DJ right in the middle. There was a stage in the front and then another stage in the back. There was also the game room, with about 50-60 video games. All the popular games like Pac Man, Space Invaders and similar was found in the room together with a punching bag and other amusement park games."

There are many products on the market, but for the uninitiated it can be difficult to know which ones really work and which may do more harm than good. Finding a Jewelry Cleaner When searching for information on jewelry cleaners, speaking to a jeweler is a good place to start. One can either get a recommendation from the place of purchase or ask a jeweler what type of cleaning products or methods they use. If the name of a particular product is known, one can find information and user reviews on the manufacturer's website. Types of Jewelry Cleaners Here is a guide to different types of jewelry cleaners, how to use them, and their effectiveness. Household Cleaners and Detergents The most common type used is ammonia, which works well to cut greasy build up from hand cream or lotions. Mix with warm to hot water and a little mild detergent. Dish soap and other common household detergents in small amounts will usually do the job. They can be used to hand clean a piece or in conjunction with a jewelry cleaning machine."

[ 1] [2] A countercultural movement expresses the ethos and aspirations of a specific population during a well-defined era. When oppositional forces reach critical mass, countercultures can trigger dramatic cultural changes. Prominent examples of countercultures in Europe and North America include Romanticism (1790–1840), Bohemianism (1850–1910), the more fragmentary counterculture of the Beat Generation (1944–1964), followed by the globalized counterculture of the 1960s (1964–1974), usually associated with the hippie subculture [3] and the diversified punk subculture of the 1980s.

Most are these tribute acts and cover bands are the short-lived side projects of local studio musicians, guitar techs and hobbyists. But a select few have built full-fledged careers upon the bands, genres and eras that inspired them.

Skapeche Mode Skapeche Mode does an excellent job of “ruining both the eighties and ska” — as they say on their Facebook page — with their cross-wired mix of romantic Depeche Mode covers and rockin', pogo-worthy ska arrangements. The band features some seasoned ska players — including two original members of Save Ferris — and their goofy music reportedly helped lift singer Kebin \"\"Skrince\"\" Smith out of a depression."

Are they really alright kids who were just mean to Vanellope because Turbo took away their memories, and are genuinely apologetic for what they've done once they've gotten their memories back? Or are they still fantastic racists against glitches and they're only apologizing because they realize Vanellope has the power to punish them for their actions? Even if fear of punishment doesn't play a factor into the racers regretting being mean to Vanellope, there's also the possibility it's because she wasn't actually a glitch and they will still display Fantastic Racism against \"\"real\"\" glitches . Then there are those who insist that Taffyta Muttonfudge was only bullying Vanellope because Vanellope is secretly evil, and that paint Taffyta as a freedom fighter of Sugar Rush who views King Candy as a father figure. That interpretation doesn't go over very well. To go along with that: if you subscribe to the above interpretation of Taffyta, is she a \"\"freedom fighter\"\" because she would rather see Sugar Rush made into a democracy rather than ruled by a princess? Or is it that she wants to rule the game herself and saw cozying up to King Candy as a way to eventually do it? The Surge Protector."

"text": "\"Home Gay Why it still matters that Fox’s Shep Smith is gay Why it still matters that Fox’s Shep Smith is gay10/31/13 1:03pm by John Aravosis 55 Comments Tweet There’s a lively debate going on over at the New York Times about the recent re-outing of Fox News anchor Shepard Smith. Smith has been repeatedly outed over the years, the most recent a week ago by Gawker. David Carr and Alex Williams at the NYT, in competing columns, find Smith’s outing to be oh-so-six-minute-ago. I disagree. Let’s discuss. First Carr: The culture has moved on. People see other people who happen to be gay at their workplaces, in their schools and on their televisions. Somewhere along the way, what was once a scarlet letter became just another consonant in the personal résumé. And now that gay marriage is a fact of life, a person’s sexual orientation is not only not news, it’s not very interesting. Then Williams: At a time when gay people can marry and fly helicopters in the Marines, is it time to consign outing to history, alongside other ’90s crazes like Zima and square-toed shoes?…But as the puzzled responses from some Gawker readers would suggest, outing seems to have run its course. “"

"text": "\"The Weight Game: Understanding Pickup Classes--And Where They Came From Posted by Mark Williams | March 31, 2012By Mike Magda Learning the idiomatic differences among modern half-, three-quarter- and one-ton pickups is a rite of passage in becoming a truck enthusiast. We understand truck lingo, and we use its terms fluidly when chatting with other enthusiasts at truck shows or at the 4x4 shop. Judging by questions in various web forums and talking with a number of clueless sales reps at dealerships, we’ve noticed that many people involved with trucks don’t get it. They either haven’t heard of certain terms or fail to grasp that these terms are no longer literal references to payload capacity. In today’s truck enthusiast vernacular, half-, three-quarter- and one-ton designations help differentiate consumer pickups by a manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight rating, or GVWR. They help distinguish the “class” of truck we drive instead of trying to reveal a specific capability. But where did these terms originate, and how did they evolve into a different meaning within today’s truck lingo? We’re not completely sure, but with a little research we’ve developed a theory — albeit one with a couple holes that our readers might be able to help close. Defining Terms: GVWR GVWR represents manufacturer’s maximum allowable weight for a fully loaded vehicle. This includes the vehicle weight, maximum cargo and passengers."

Tobias Rossmann, a research engineer with Advanced Projects Research and a visiting researcher at the California Institute of Technology, provides the following explanation. Image: U. S. Navy photo by ENSIGN JOHN GAYAN F/A -18 HORNET BREAKS THE SOUND BARRIER in the skies over the Pacific Ocean. Any discussion of what happens when an object breaks the sound barrier must begin with the physical description of sound as a wave with a finite propagation speed. Anyone who has heard an echo (sound waves reflecting off a distant surface) or been far enough away from an event to see it first and then hear it is familiar with the relatively slow propagation of sound waves. At sea level and standard atmospheric conditions of 22 degrees Celsius, sound waves travel at 345 meters per second (770 miles per hour). As the local temperature decreases, the sound speed also decreases, so for a plane flying at 35,000 feetwhere the ambient temperature is 54 Cthe local speed of sound is 295 meters per second (660 miles per hour). Because the propagation speed of sound waves is finite, sources of sound that are moving can begin to catch up with the sound waves they emit. As the speed of the object increases to the sonic velocity (the local velocity of sound waves), these sound waves begin to pile up in front of the object. If the object has sufficient acceleration, it can burst through this barrier of sound waves and move ahead of the radiated sound."

Operation Bongo ). The boom caused by Concorde generated substantial public opposition in the United States and eventually in other countries around the world with airspace the aircraft was supposed to fly through. This opposition made it impossible for Concorde to be a commercial success. The sonic boom issue was also a significant factor in the eventual cancellation of the Boeing 2707. [ 1]Shock waves develop around aircraft as they near Mach 1 (1225.0 km/h). At ground level, these are perceived as a loud double boom or bang. Their intensity varies due to factors such as weather, refraction from different layers of atmospheric density, and size of the aircraft, but in general, from a supersonic aircraft of the size of a civilian airliner, the overpressure created at ground level is enough to rattle windows."

It is possible to reproduce a stereo recording in an ordinary living room such that listeners have the illusion that the two loudspeakers have disappeared. When they close their eyes, they can easily imagine to be present at the recording space, as they listen to the phantom audio scene in front of them. The vast majority of loudspeakers that have been sold - the typical box speakers - can only produce this effect to a limited degree because of a fundamental limitation: they radiate sound into the room with different intensity at different frequencies and angles, though they measure flat on axis. Consequently the many reflections from room surfaces are sonically colored in a way that is characteristic for box loudspeakers. We always recognize the sound as coming from a box rather than being live. It is the generic loudspeaker sound. It has been a fascinating journey for me to come to this understanding Loudspeakers with frequency independent, constant directionality such as omni, dipole or cardioid loudspeakers, cause reflections in a room that are essentially delayed replicas of the direct sound and which are therefore less colored. Your ear/brain perceptual apparatus does not get confused by sound replicas. Instead it compares them to the familiar acoustic behavior of your room and readily blankets the redundant information and thereby the room. This automatic brain response is related to the Precedence Effect in psychoacoustics and is essential for creating the illusion of \"\"being there\"\" by withdrawing attention from the living room acoustics."

The Black Hills in South Dakota and the Adirondack Mountains in New York are upwarped mountain ranges. Volcanic mountains are the accumulations of large amounts of volcanic lavas and pyroclastic material around the volcanic vent, such as seamounts and stratovolcanoes. The Hawaiian and Aleutian Islands are volcanic mountains. Fault-block mountains result from tensional stress. They are bounded by high-angle normal faults, and usually form a series of horsts and grabens. Folded, or complex, mountains are created by intense compressional forces that fold, fault, and metamorphose the rocks, resulting in many of the world's biggest mountain belts, such as the Himalayas.

The Hawaiian name \"\"Mauna Loa\"\" means \"\"Long Mountain.\"\" Lava eruptions from it are silica-poor, thus very fluid: and as a result eruptions tend to be non-explosive and the volcano has extremely shallow slopes.

[ 2] Its magma comes from the Hawaii hotspot, which has been responsible for the creation of the Hawaiian island chain for tens of millions of years. The slow drift of the Pacific Plate will eventually carry the volcano away from the hotspot, and the volcano will thus become extinct within 500,000 to one million years from now.

Structurally, Kīlauea has a large, fairly recently formed caldera at its summit and two active rift zones, one extending 125 km (78 mi) east and the other 35 km (22 mi) west, as an active fault of unknown depth moving vertically an average of 2 to 20 mm (0.1 to 0.8 in) per year. Kīlauea's eruptive history has been a long and active one; its name means \"\"spewing\"\" or \"\"much spreading\"\" in the Hawaiian language, referring to its frequent outpouring of lava. The earliest lavas from the volcano date back to its submarine preshield stage, samples having been recovered by remotely operated underwater vehicles from its submerged slopes; samples of other flows have been recovered as core samples. Lavas younger than 1,000 years cover 90 percent of the volcano's surface. The oldest exposed lavas date back 2,800 years. The first well-documented eruption of Kīlauea occurred in 1823 (Western contact and written history began in 1778), and since that time the volcano has erupted repeatedly."

It is the only state within the tropics. Both of these facts contribute significantly to its climate, as do also its division into separate, widely spaced islands and its topographic diversity. The islands of the State are the eastern-most members of the Hawaiian island Chain. This Chain extends for a distance of 2,000 miles from Kure and Midway Islands at the northwest to the Island of Hawaii at the extreme southeast end. There are six major islands in the State which occupy a narrow zone 430 miles long. From west to east these are Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui, and Hawaii. Taken together with the much smaller islands of Niihau and Kahoolawe, their total area is 6,424 square miles, about 30 percent greater than that of Connecticut.

They rise an average of 4,572 meters (15,000 feet) to reach sea level from their base on the sea floor with the highest (Mauna Loa) climbing an additional 4,170 meters (13,680 feet) above sea level. As shield volcanoes, they are built by thousands of accumulated lava flows growing no more than 3 meters (10 feet) at a time to form a broad, gently sloping, flat domed volcanic cone. The islands progressed from northwest to southeast with the first volcanoes becoming extinct as the activity moved southeast. Some researchers believe the archipelago, or group of islands, originated from the accumulation of basalt piles over a great fissure, with the activity shifting progressively to the south. Another hypothesis suggests the Pacific plate is moving over a fixed \"\" hot spot \"\" in the mantle. Today only two volcanoes are left active, the Mauna Loa and the Kilauea at the southeasternmost end of the chain. After volcanic mountains reach the surface, they are subject to the effects of erosion; unless lava continues to flow, the whole mass could wear away."

It is an active shield volcano, with a volume estimated at approximately 18,000 cubic miles (75,000 km³ ), [1] although its peak is about Template: Convert/ft lower than that of its neighbor, Mauna Kea. The Hawaiian name \"\"Mauna Loa\"\" means \"\"Long Mountain\"\". The Lava eruptions from Mauna Loa are silica -poor, thus very fluid: and as a result eruptions tend to be non-explosive and the volcano has extremely shallow slopes. Mauna Kea is slightly higher, by several hundred feet, at 13,500 feet abo The volcano has probably been erupting for at least 700,000 years and may have emerged above sea level about 400,000 years ago, although the oldest-known dated rocks do not extend beyond 200,000 years. [ 2] Its magma comes from the Hawaii hotspot, which has been responsible for the creation of the Hawaiian island chain for tens of millions of years. The slow drift of the Pacific Plate will eventually carry the volcano away from the hotspot, and the volcano will thus become extinct within 500,000 to one million years from now. Mauna Loa's most recent eruption occurred from March 24 1984, to April 15 1984. No recent eruptions of the volcano have caused fatalities, but eruptions in 1926 and 1950 destroyed villages, and the city of Hilo is partly built on lava flows from the late nineteenth century. In view of the hazards it poses to population centers, Mauna Loa is part of the Decade Volcanoes program, which encourages studies of the most dangerous volcanoes."

The state of Hawaii is made up of eight islands, of which six are major islands for tourists to choose from: Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui and the Big Island. Each island boasts its own unique personality, offering distinct adventures, activities and sights to its visitors. Here's how to choose which island is right for your vacation needs. Kauai, the \"\"Garden Isle\"\"Kauai is the oldest of the Hawaiian islands, located the farthest north in the island chain. Its age has graced it with valleys, mountains and cliffs unlike those on any of the other islands, as well as lush rainforests, rivers and waterfalls. Visitors can choose from an array of top-notch resorts on gorgeous beaches, but if you're spending time on Kauai, make sure to get off the resort once in a while, as well. The island's dramatic green scenery makes it the perfect spot for outdoor activities, like kayaking, snorkeling and hiking, so it's a perfect spot for the adventure traveler. Flights to Kauai tend to cost a little more relative to the other islands, but for the traveler who values a balance between thrill and relaxation, the trip is well worth it. On Kauai, you'll discover Hanalei Bay, Poipu Beach and Kokee State Park, as well as Waimea Canyon State Park – otherwise known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific."

The Hawaiian Islands were first settled as early as 400 C. E., when Polynesians from the Marquesas Islands, 3550 km (2200 mi) away, traveled to Hawaii's Big Island in canoes. [ 1] The islands were later 'discovered' by Captain James Cook in 1778, who named the archipelago the Sandwich Islands.

Image: NASA One hundred plus years later in 1893, a Hawaii-based secret society called the Hawaiian League, a group of planters and businessmen (mainly white men of North American origin) led a coup against Queen Liliuokalani, the monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaii, and established an oligarchical government. The anti-monarchist and pro-American group sought annexation by the United States, but then incumbent President Grover Cleveland rejected their requests. In 1898, however, President Mc Kinley and the American public were more favorably disposed toward acquiring the islands.

There are really only two seasons in Hawaii: summer ( kau) from May to October and winter ( hooilo) from November to April. The average daytime summer temperature at sea level is 85° F (29.4° C), while the average daytime winter temperature is 78° (25.6° C). Temperatures at night are approximately 10° F lower than the daytime. Temperature & Climate Zones The islands are an incredible collection of diverse micro-environments, each with its own unique weather plants and animals. As a result of the shielding effect of volcanic mountains and the differences in weather at various elevations, you can find tropical rainforests, cool alpine regions, arid deserts and sunny beaches—all within the span of just a few miles Rainfall & Trade Winds Throughout the year, Hawaiian weather patterns are affected primarily by high-pressure zones in the north Pacific that pump cool, moist trade winds down onto the islands’ northeastern slopes. These winds are forced upslope by the mountain heights, where their moisture condenses into clouds that produce rain. Most of the rain falls in the mountains and valleys on the windward (northeastern) side of the islands. It is this weather phenomenon that creates Hawaii’s rich, green, tropical environment. The wettest months are from November to March, but winter rains do not generally disrupt vacation plans, since the weather is very localized."

They harbor valuable medicinal and food plants and rare and beautiful animal species, and are important biological corridors and sanctuaries for plants and animals long since eliminated from the more transformed lowlands. Science has identified and documented some of these natural resources of the Himalayas, and scientists continue to be surprised by new discoveries of the flora, fauna and mineral wealth of the region. E-HERBARIAThe Himalayas are a storehouse of several species of the most rare & valuable species of medicinal & aromatic plants. A bio-geographically unique region, it has the maximum degree of endemism in the Asian region, and its range of altitudes provides it with diverse agro-climatic conditions that support about 18,440 species of plants, of which 25.3% is endemic to the region, and several among these possess medicinal and aromatic properties. Some of these are: Aconitum heterophyllum, Dactylorhiza hatagirea, Picrorhiza kurroa, Carum carvi, Angelica glauca, Nardostachys jatamansi. View All Documents CULTIVATION PACKAGESDeforestation and climatic changes in the Himalayan region, compounded by overuse of the medicinal and aromatic plants that grow in the region, and the destructive harvesting practices used, and the absence of positive interventions of soil & water conservation measures, have led to the valuable medicinal & aromatic plants of the Himalayan region getting depleted at an alarming rate. Cultivation of high-value herbal species as alternative cash crops by local communities, has potential however as an alternative channel of supply. View All Documents ETHNOBOTANIC DATABASEThe medicinal & aromatic plants found in the Himalayas are an integral part of the culture of the local communities of the Himalayas, woven into their lives in innumerable ways. They are a major input for the healthcare of the rural poor and the basic ingredients for traditional medicines with extensive use in Ayurvedic, Siddha, Unani, Tibetan, as well as Allopathic systems of medicine."

The area has long been recognized as a rich centre of primitive flowering plants and is popularly known as the ‘Çradle of Speciation’ . Species of several families of monocotyledons, Orchidaceae, Zingiberaceae and Arecaceae are found in the area. Gymnorperms and Pteridophytes (ferns) are also well represented here. The area is also rich in wild relatives of plants of economic significance e.g. rice, banana, citrus, ginger, chilli, jute and sugarcane. It is also regarded as the centre of origin and diversification of five palms of commercial importance, namely coconut, arecanut, palmyra palm, sugar palm and wild date palm. Tea (Thea sinensis) has been cultivated in this region for the last 4,000 years."

Upadhye, 21.03.1611 0 0On International Day of Forests, scientists say changing patterns in the number of rainy days are adding to the woes of the Western Ghats, already threatened by unplanned developmental activity (Image by Amit S. Upadhye)The Western Ghats, one of India’s largest natural carbon sinks and a biodiversity hotspot, is facing a new threat due to changing rainfall patterns besides continuing pressure from developmental activity, recent research indicates. A more uncertain rainfall pattern is one of the biggest impacts of climate change, scientists say. The Sahyadri, a 1,600km long mountain range that runs parallel to the west coast of India, records more than 500 cm of rainfall in many places but new weather models show that there are now changes that do not bode well for this Unesco World Heritage Site. The rainfall pattern in the Western Ghats in Kerala is changing for the worse, according to an ongoing study by the Energy and Wetland Research Group of the Bengaluru-based Indian Institute of Science (IISc). The researchers are looking at the rainfall data of the past 100 years and the initial patterns are shocking. In line with other weather models, the latest research is indicating increase in the rainfall volume over a shorter period of time. The study indicates that the rain that earlier fell over four months may now occur within a span of a few days or weeks. ( Image by Amit S. Upadhye)Ecologists are also worried about temperature variation in the Western Ghats. Even a little shift in temperatures in the Ghats may wipe out a variety of fauna including those that are yet to be discovered, according to environmental economist Madhav Gadgil, who has worked in the area for many years. “The effect of climate change is equal on all forest types."

In many cases, statistics for the Caribbean are lumped with those for Latin America or Central America or presented for the wider Caribbean. However, national overviews of threats do exist as part of National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs). These can vary considerably in the depth and quality of information and analysis. As part of this review, key threats and barriers were identified through the national and regional workshops. Terrestrial biodiversity in the hotspot has been impacted by humans since the arrival of the Amerindians in the Caribbean some 6,000 to 7,000 years ago, but negative impacts increased substantially following the arrival of Europeans in the 1490s (Brooks et al. 2002) and have escalated in the last 50 years due to the rapidly increasing island populations and economies in the region. The main threats to the terrestrial biodiversity of the insular Caribbean are habitat destruction and fragmentation due to agricultural, urban tourism and industrial/commercial development driven by increasing population and affluence; overexploitation of living resources; and predation and competition by invasive alien species (see Table 10). Climate change is viewed as an increasingly significant threat."

The islands' biodiversity prompted Charles Darwin to formulate his theory of evolution. Galapagos species evolved to have an almost total lack of interest in humans; they remain in place when people pass by, unperturbed, which, before they were protected, allowed them to be easily hunted.

"text": "What is a “Biodiversity Hotspot”? By Alan Lee Many readers will I am sure have heard that the Tambopata is part of a World Biodiversity Hotspot. But what actually is a hotspot? The simple answer is that Biodiversity hotspots are geographic areas that contain high levels of species diversity but are threatened with extinction. To qualify as a hotspot, a region must meet two strict criteria: It must contain at least 1,500 species of vascular plants (> 0.5 percent of the world’s total) as endemics It has to have lost at least 70 percent of its original habitat. Three factors that usually determine hotspots The number of total species (species richness) The number of unique species (endemism) The number of species at risk (threat of extinction). Some interesting hotspot facts: 34 biodiversity hotspots have been identified. They once covered 15.7 percent of the Earth’s land surface. 86 % of the hotspots’ habitat has already been destroyed. The intact remnants of the hotspots now cover only 2.3 % of the Earth’s land surface."

The Buxa range of Indo-Bhutan is also a part of the ancient rocks of the Himalayas. The ancient folds, running mainly along an east-west axis, were worn down during a long period of denudation lasting into cretaceous times, possibly over a hundred million years. During this time the carboniferous and permian rocks disappeared from the surface, except in its north near Hatisar in Bhutan and in the long trench extending from Jaldhaka River to Torsa River, where limestone and coal deposits are preserved in discontinuous basins. Limestone deposits also appear in Bhutan on the southern flanks of the Lower Himalayas. The rocks of the highlands are mainly sandstones of the Devonian age, with limestones and shales of the same period in places."

"text": "\"10 of the world’s most threatened biodiversity hotspots April 18, 2012 · by Natalie Mayer · in Biodiversity, Eco-tourism . · The word “biodiversity” describes the richness of an area in terms of its genes, species and ecosystems. Places with the highest levels of biodiversity in the world tend to be concentrated in tropical and sub-tropical regions. Sadly, human activity has seen typical extinction rates increase by 100 to 10 000 times, mainly due to the destruction of habitat. To focus protection efforts, Conservation International has identified 25 biodiversity “hotspots”, areas which contain more than 1500 endemic plant species and which have lost more than 70% of the original habitat. Biodiversity hotspots – and where to see them Here is a list of 10 of these hotspots, where biodiversity is both richest and most threatened:#1: Atlantic Forest – Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina Originally this biodiversity hotspot extended over 1.2 million km2, but sugar and coffee plantations have ravaged the forest, leaving less than 0.1 million km2. The hotspot is home to 8 000 endemic plant species and almost 950 birds. The Black-faced Lion Tamarin is just one of the 25 critically endangered species in the forest. See it: Discovery Coast Atlantic Forest Reserves, Brazil#2: Cape Floral Region – South Africa Located in the Western Cape, this hotspot has the world’s highest concentration of different plant species per square kilometer – even higher than the Amazon. Of the 9 000 different plant species, about 6 210 are endemic, and 1 435 have been identified as threatened."

The savannas we are most familiar with are the East African savannas covered with acacia trees. The Serengeti Plains of Tanzania are some of the most well-known. Here animals like lions, zebras, elephants, and giraffes and many types of animals with hooves graze and hunt. Many large herbivores can survive here because they can move around and eat the plentiful grasses. There are also lots of carnivores who eat them in turn. Threats to Biodiversity The primary threats to the savanna biome are humans (for example, poachers are killing elephants for their ivory tusks and hunting animals to the brink of extinction) and global climate change. Primary Productivity of the Savanna On average, the annual primary productivity of savannas is 3000kcal per square meter. This is higher than most other biom s because of the high number of herbivores that transfer nutrients from the grasses to animals."

In the meantime, scientists developed explanations to explain the locations of fossils on widely different continents (land bridges) and the similarity of rock sequences across oceans (geosynclines), which were becoming more and more cumbersome. When seafloor spreading came along, scientists recognized that the mechanism to explain drifting continents had been found. Like the scientists did before us, we are now ready to merge the ideas of continental drift and seafloor spreading into a new all-encompassing idea: the theory of plate tectonics. Lesson Objectives Describe what a plate is and how scientists can recognize its edges. Explain how mantle convection moves lithospheric plates.

The human population dynamics of these areas, however, are not well quantified. Here we report estimates of key demographic variables for each hotspot, and for three extensive tropical forest areas 1 that are less immediately threatened. We estimate that in 1995 more than 1.1 billion people, nearly 20% of world population, were living within the hotspots, an area covering about 12% of Earth's terrestrial surface. We estimate that the population growth rate in the hotspots (1995–2000) is 1.8% yr -1, substantially higher than the population growth rate of the world as a whole (1.3% yr -1) and above that of the developing countries (1.6% yr -1 ). These results suggest that substantial human-induced environmental changes are likely to continue in the hotspots and that demographic change remains an important factor in global biodiversity conservation. The results also underline the potential conservation significance of the continuing worldwide declines in human fertility and of policies and programs that influence human migration.

Indo-Burma and South Central China are considered biodiversity hotspots—that is, areas of high animal and plant diversity, but with high rates of habitat destruction. One group of plants (called a genus) is native to this region, so is especially diverse there: the Rhododendron. This is genus of flowering shrubs and trees with large showy flowers. It’s a common garden plant around the world. There are approximately 1,000 species (and many, many more hybrids) and about half of these species can be seen while trekking in the Himalayas of Tibet (Xizang), Nepal, and Bhutan. It is particularly stunning to trek at high elevation through a blooming rhododendron forest: the gnarled branches covered in moss topped with shiny evergreen leaves and large, showy flowers is truly a sight you’ll not easily forget. If you’d like to see Rhododendrons in bloom in their natural habitat, you must plan your visit for early in the season.

The idea was first developed by Norman Myers in 1988 to identify tropical forest ‘hotspots’ characterized both by exceptional levels of plant endemism and serious habitat loss 1, which he then expanded to a more global scope 2. Conservation International adopted Myers’ hotspots as its institutional blueprint in 1989, and in 1999, the organization undertook an extensive global review which introduced quantitative thresholds for the designation of biodiversity hotspots. 3 A reworking of the hotspots analysis in 2004 resulted in the system in place today. 4 Currently, 35 biodiversity hotspots have been identified, most of which occur in tropical forests."

California is one of the 25 most biologically diverse places on the planet, and is the only biodiversity hotspot in North America. Biological diversity (or biodiversity) is a measure of ecosystem health and function. The California Public Resources Code Section 12220 [b] defines biodiversity as the number and genetic richness of different individuals found within the population of a species, of populations found within a species range, of different species found within a natural community or ecosystem, and of different communities and ecosystems found within a region. California has at least 2,153 endemic taxa of vascular plants (species, subspecies, varieties). This means that 34% of the 6,272 native plant taxa in California are found nowhere else on the planet."

"text": "\"Common buzzard Binomial name: Buteo buteo ( Carolus Linnaeus, 1758)The common buzzard (Buteo buteo) is a medium-to-large bird of prey, whose range covers most of Europe and extends into Asia. It is usually resident year-round, except in the coldest parts of its range, and in the case of one subspecies. Description The common buzzard measures between 40 and 58 cm in length with a 109 - 136 cm wingspan and a body mass of 427 - 1364 g, making it a medium-sized raptor. This broad-winged raptor has a wide variety of plumages, and in Europe can be confused with the similar rough-legged buzzard (Buteo lagopus) and the only distantly related European honey buzzard (Pernis apivorus), which mimics the common buzzard's plumage for a degree of protection from northern goshawks. The plumage can vary in Britain from almost pure white to black, but is usually shades of brown, with a pale 'necklace' of feathers. Systematics The common buzzard was first described by Linnaeus in his Systema naturae in 1758 as Falco buteo. Buzzard subspecies fall into two groups. The western Buteo group is mainly resident or short-distance migrants. They are: Buteo buteo buteo: most of Europe B. b. rothschildi: Azores B. b. insularum: Canary Islands B. b. arrigonii: Corsica and Sardinia B. b. menetriesi: Caucasus B. b. harterti: Madeira, doubtfully distinct from nominate buteo The eastern vulpinus group includes B. b. vulpinus (steppe buzzard): Eurasia: migrant breeder B. b. burmanicus (Himalayan buzzard): Himalayas and western China B. b. japonicus: Japan: resident B. b. toyoshimai: Izu Islands and Bonin Islands B. b. oshiroi: Daito Islands Birdlife elevates japonicus to species status. Two resident forms on islands close to Africa are often assigned to the first group, but appear to be distinct species, more closely related to the African long-legged buzzard, based on biogeography and preliminary mt DNA cytochrome b sequence data: Buteo bannermani (Cape Verde buzzard): Cape Verde Islands Buteo socotraensis (Socotra buzzard) of Socotra Behaviour The common buzzard breeds in woodlands, usually on the fringes, but favours hunting over open land."

The danger for tourists is low, but nearly 30,000 Vietnamese rice farmers get bitten every year, mostly by stepping on hidden snakes. If you’re walking through national parks or rice paddies, make sure to wear long pants and appropriate shoes; if you see a snake, maintain a respectful distance. If it has a triangular head (as many poisonous snakes do), simply leave the area. Snake bites, even poisonous ones, aren’t usually life-threatening if treated quickly and properly. Don’t bother snakes, and they shouldn’t bother you.

"text": "Karen The Karen languages are comprised of a group of languages spoken primarily in lower Myanmar and coastal areas of Thailand. Karen languages exhibit a unique variety of traits that have made it difficult for scholars to determine their origins and confidently classify them in a specific linguistic category. Classification of the Karen Languages The origins of the Karen languages are not totally clear, but the languages are generally believed to be related to the Tibeto-Burman group of the Sino-Tibetan family of languages. The Sino-Tibetan languages were formerly known as Indochinese; however, this label is now restricted to including the languages of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Tibeto-Burman languages are spoken in Tibet and in areas of the Himalayas, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Southeast Asia, and central China. The members of the Sino-Tibetan language family are all thought to have originated from a common ancestral language. Based on the way that the Sino-Tibetan languages are distributed, it appears as though the languages developed and spread along the many rivers throughout Asia. It is believed that the different languages that comprise the Sino-Tibetan language family today developed because various groups of people who spoke this ancestral language migrated and became isolated from one another, allowing distinct languages to develop. Uncertain Origins of the Karen Language One reason that linguists have difficulty agreeing on the origins of the Karen languages is that they exhibit a wide variety of influences from very different sources. Although Karen languages do show evidence of a relationship with other Tibeto-Burman languages, they also appear to have been significantly influenced by the Tai and Austro-Asiatic language families."

Characterised by large heads, short tails, and powerful bills and feet, nuthatches advertise their territory using loud, simple songs. Most species exhibit grey or bluish upperparts and a black eye stripe. Most nuthatches breed in the temperate or montane woodlands of the Northern Hemisphere, although two species have adapted to rocky habitats in the warmer and drier regions of Eurasia. However, the greatest diversity is in Southern Asia, and similarities between the species have made it difficult to identify distinct species. All members of this genus nest in holes or crevices. Most species are non-migratory and live in their habitat year-round, although the North American red-breasted nuthatch migrates to warmer regions during the winter. A few nuthatch species have restricted ranges and face threats from deforestation."

The inclusion of the North and South American monsoons with incomplete wind reversal has been debated.

"text": "\"The Himalayas: Two continents collide Among the most dramatic and visible creations of plate-tectonic forces are the lofty Himalayas, which stretch 2,900 km along the border between India and Tibet. This immense mountain range began to form between 40 and 50 million years ago, when two large landmasses, India and Eurasia, driven by plate movement, collided. Because both these continental landmasses have about the same rock density, one plate could not be subducted under the other. The pressure of the impinging plates could only be relieved by thrusting skyward, contorting the collision zone, and forming the jagged Himalayan peaks. About 225 million years ago, India was a large island still situated off the Australian coast, and a vast ocean (called Tethys Sea) separated India from the Asian continent. When Pangaea broke apart about 200 million years ago, India began to forge northward. By studying the history -- and ultimately the closing-- of the Tethys, scientists have reconstructed India's northward journey. About 80 million years ago, India was located roughly 6,400 km south of the Asian continent, moving northward at a rate of about 9 m a century. When India rammed into Asia about 40 to 50 million years ago, its northward advance slowed by about half. The collision and associated decrease in the rate of plate movement are interpreted to mark the beginning of the rapid uplift of the Himalayas."

Climate, soil type, topography, and elevation are the main factors that determine the type of forest. Forests are classified according to their nature and composition, the type of climate in which they thrive, and its relationship with the surrounding environment. Forests can be divided into six broad types, with a number of sub types. Moist tropical Montane sub tropical Wet evergreen Broad leaved Semi-evergreen Pine Moist deciduous Dry evergreen Littoral and swamp Dry tropical Montane temperate forests Dry deciduous Wet Thorn Moist Dry evergreen Dry Sub alpine Alpine Moist Dry Moist tropical forests Wet evergreen Wet evergreen forests are found in the south along the Western Ghats and the Nicobar and Andaman Islands and all along the north-eastern region. It is characterized by tall, straight evergreen trees that have a buttressed trunk or root on three sides like a tripod that helps to keep a tree upright during a storm. These trees often rise to a great height before they open out like a cauliflower. The more common trees that are found here are the jackfruit, betel nut palm, jamun, mango, and hollock. The trees in this forest form a tier pattern: shrubs cover the layer closer to the ground, followed by the short structured trees and then the tall variety. Beautiful fern of various colours and different varieties of orchids grow on the trunks of the trees."

Mountains usually have more-or-less steep sides meeting in a summit that is much narrower in width than the mountain's base. Although single mountains exist, most occur as a group, called a mountain range. A group of ranges that share a common origin and form is known as a mountain system. A group of systems is called a mountain chain. Finally, a complex group of continental (land-based) ranges, systems, and chains is called a mountain belt or cordillera (pronounced kordee-YARE-ah). The greatest mountain systems are the Alps of Europe, the Andes of South America, the Himalayas of Asia, and the Rockies of North America. Notable single peaks in these systems include Mont Blanc (Alps), Aconcagua (Andes), Everest (Himalayas), and Elbert (Rockies). The Himalayas is the world's highest mountain system, containing some 30 peaks rising to more than 25,000 feet (7,620 meters).

Over the past century, most of the world’s mountain glaciers and the ice sheets in both Greenland and Antarctica have lost mass. But glacier melt is not limited to these areas. Glaciers are located on every continent, except Australia and they are all receding with severe consequences. In December 2010, 193 countries met in Cancun for climate talks and developed The United Nations Cancun Adaptation Framework. They concluded climate change is real and unavoidable, and confronting it with blending climate science and technology, indigenous community’s adaptive skills, engineering and risk management is the future. Like blending families, this process takes a fair amount of cooperation, compromise and conversation. Peru is taking the warnings seriously with a proactive approach for a 20-30 year plan. César Portocarrero is a glacial engineer in Peru, and his specialized skill is building retention dams and drainage tunnels to avert catastrophic floods from glacial lakes. Climate change in the last sixty years has impacted high mountain glaciers in places like the Andes in Peru and The Himalayas, and many of the large glaciers melted rapidly, possibly from global warming, creating large glacier lakes."

Flag Which mountain range has the world's highest peak? Answer by Suma rongi Confidence votes 22.2KThe Himalayas, a large mountain range in southern Asia, contains Mount Everest, the world's highest mountain peak when measured from sea level. The Himalayan range forms a barrier between the Plateau of Tibet to the north and the plains of the Indian subcontinent to the south. It constitutes the greatest mountain system on Earth and includes more than 110 peaks rising to elevations above 24,000 ft (7,300 m). Other candidates for \"\"world's highest peak\"\" Measured in Distance from Earth's Center There are several mountains which are higher than Everest, as measured from the centre of the earth, rather than measuring from sea level. This is because of the \"\"equatorial bulge\"\", in which the radius of the Earth at the equator is greater than that at the poles or mid-latitudes. The highest of these mountains are Ecuador's Chimborazo and Peru's Huascarán, both in the Andes. Measured in Height above its Base The volcano Mauna Loa in Hawaii is the tallest mountain from its undersea base to its summit, a total of 33,465 feet (4400 feet higher than Everest).27 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "February 9, 2015 by David Urmann 2The Weather and Climate of the Himalayas If you have not been to the Himalayas before you might make the mistake of thinking the climate is fairly uniform across the entire mountain range but nothing could be further from the truth. If you’re planning a trip its key to understand how the weather changes throughout the year in each part of the Himalayas. The Indian monsoon is the main driver of climate and the impact of the monsoon or lack of it is of key importance for predicting the weather. A monsoon is best described as a seasonally reversing wind system. It works because during the hot part of the year the sun warms up the earth’s surface causing the atmosphere to rise and as it does it pulls in moist air from the ocean. When the sun is no longer heating the surface during the winter this mechanism reverses and a generally dry subsiding air mass dominates. The monsoon first reaches the Himalayas in far eastern India, Bhutan and Nepal in early June and remains over these regions for the longest time. For this reason, the western Himalayas in contrast to the eastern Himalayas are much drier and the monsoon starts later in the year. When to Visit the Himalayas Let’s jump first to how the weather impacts where you can visit in the Himalayas and when is the best time to visit. Region Season to Visit Kashmir June to Sept Ladakh June to Sept Lahaul and Spiti June to Sept Himachal Pradesh Mar to May & Oct to Nov Uttaranchal Mar to May & Oct to Nov Nepal Mar to May & Oct to Nov Tibet April to September Sikkim Mar to May & Oct to Nov Bhutan Mar to May & Oct to Nov Arunachal Pradesh Mar to May & Oct to Nov Himalayas Map Kashmir : Kashmir is only lightly influenced by the monsoon but heavy snows in the mountains preclude trekking during the winter."

The mountains span the countries of India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Tibet in South Asia and are the location of the tallest mountains in the world. The Himalayan Mountains, however, have not always been the natural wonder that they are today. 100 Million years ago, in fact, the whole Indian sub-continent, sans Himalayas, was its own island. Farming the slopes of the Himalayas, Nepal How the Himalayas Formed The present-day continental formations on the world are, geologically speaking, relatively recent formations. 250 Million years ago, the continents were part of one giant super-continent, called Pangea. Due to plate tectonics, the crustal plates of the earth moving independently, pushing and pulling into one another and creating constant geologic activity, the continent of Pangea was ripped apart. The new continents slowly spread around the world creating the continents and oceans that we know today. As a part of this ripping apart, the Indian plate broke off from the bottom of Pangea and began to move northward, toward the larger Eurasian plate. India charged across the ocean at a rate of 10 – 15 cm/ year, an unusually fast rate for crustal plates."

Both senators and representatives are chosen through direct election, though vacancies in the Senate may be filled by a gubernatorial appointment. Congress has 535 voting members: 435 Representatives and 100 Senators. The House of Representatives has six non-voting members representing Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, the U. S. Virgin Islands, and Washington, D.

What are its branches and how do they interact with each other? The United States of America is a federated nation of Sovereign states in a Republic, managed by the Federal Government of the United States. The U. S. Federal Government has three branches: Congress (they write U. S. Federal Law for the USA)Executive Branch (the President of the United States is head of this)Judicial Branch (the U. S. Supreme Court is the highest court)All of this is spelled out in the U. S. Constitution which describes the basic principles of how these three entities are to operate, and also spells out Civil Rights for individuals in The Bill of Rights which is the first ten amendments to the Constitution, adopted at the same time as the rest of the Constitution over 200 years ago. It's an easy read: just a few pages. People who take the time to read it tend to be shocked at how short and apparently simple it is. One important point about the Constitution: it contains a procedure for amendment - we can change our federal government structure or operation as much or as little as we want at any time; we just have to agree sufficiently to do so. The Congress is bicameral (two parts): the U. S. Senate, and the House of Representatives. Everyone in both houses of Congress is directly elected by the citizens of the USA, though at one time, U. S. Senators were appointed by the legislatures of the States that they represented. The Congress writes the laws of the USA, which is to say, the rules we all live under."

E. 2540] Constitution)The Role of the King: Thailand is a constitutional monarchy, under which form of government the King serves the People of Thailand as \"\"HEAD OF STATE\"\", under the terms of the Constitution of Thailand. ( It should be noted that the Constitution provides that the successor to the King may be a Princess, and not necessarily a Prince, and therefore some translators use the word \"\"Monarch\"\" instead of the word \"\"King\"\" in translating this Constitution into English. The word \"\"monarch\"\" is a non-sexist term, which indicates a monarch may be either a man or a woman.) Thailand adopted a new Constitution in October of 1997, which is now in effect, although certain provisions of that Constitution will not take full effect until after new elections are held. ( Those provisions are known as \"\"Transitory Provisions\"\", and some do not take effect for several years after its adoption, to give the parliament enough time to enact appropriate new laws.) Bills passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate become law upon approval of the bill by the King. The King has the power to approve or disapprove bills adopted by the Parliament; bills do not become effective as laws without the approval of the King, unless later re-approved by the Parliament. If the King disapproves a bill as a proposed law, the bill is returned to the Parliament to consider the King's objections. If the parliament nonetheless approves the law again, by at least a 2/3 vote of both houses of the parliament, the bill is returned to the King for reconsideration. If the King still declines to sign the bill into law, the Prime Minister is authorized to promulgate the bill as a law by publishing it in the Government Gazette, the official newspaper of the Government, as if the King had signed it."

The United States Constitution outlines the powers of the legislative branch, Congress, which is divided into two houses: the Senate and the House of Representatives. Every state within the country has a legislative branch, which acts in a similar fashion to the federal legislative branch. Article I of the Constitution outlines the federal legislative branch.

Congress and senate represent the legislative branch of the government, which is one of the three branches; other two being executive ( President) and judicial ( courts ). If you too remain confused between congress and senate, read on as this article will clear all doubts from your mind. Though both have similar functions as legislative bodies involved in law making, there are differences in the roles and responsibilities of the senate and the house that will be highlighted in this article. What is Congress? To make things clear about legislative bodies, congress is the name used to refer collectively to the House of Representatives and the Senate. Thus, House or the House of Representatives is one of the two parts that make up the Congress in US politics, the other being Senate. Thus, to remember it once and for all, here is the equation. Congress = House of Representatives (House) + Senate The House of Representatives in US is the equivalent of the British House of Commons.

It was to the Congress that power was given to make laws, tax, spend and even declare war. The President and the Supreme Court may act independently of the Congress or even contrary to its wishes, but the Constitution extends to the Congress a much larger menu of powers than it does to the other branches. While the Constitution affords the Executive and Judicial branches powers which can be used to check and balance the Legislative branch, the Framers took the additional precaution of dividing the Congress in two, creating a House of Representatives and a Senate. This was made necessary, Madison argued in The Federalist No. 51 because:. . . It is not possible to give to each department an equal power of self-defense. In republican government, the legislative authority necessarily predominates. The remedy for this inconveniency is to divide the legislature into different branches; and to render them, by different modes of election and different principles of action, as little connected with each other as the nature of their common functions and their common dependence on the society will admit. Consequently, while the Legislative branch is granted the most impressive array of powers by the Constitution, it can only exercise those powers when both the House and the Senate are in agreement."

Article I of the Constitution established Congress, the collective legislative body made up of the Senate and the House. The primary function of these two bodies is to write, debate and pass bills and to send them on to the president for his approval or veto. If the president gives his approval to a bill, it immediately becomes law. However, if the president vetoes the bill, Congress is not without recourse. With a two-thirds majority in both houses, Congress may override the presidential veto. Congress may also rewrite a bill in order to win presidential approval; vetoed legislation is sent back to the chamber where it originated for reworking."

It was ratified by conventions in 11 states. It went into effect on March 4, 1789. The first 10 constitutional amendments ratified by three-fourths of the states in 1791 are known as the Bill of Rights. The Constitution has been amended 17 additional times – for a total of 27 amendments – and its principles are applied in courts of law by judicial review. The due process clause of the Constitution was partly based on common law and on Magna Carta (1215), which had become a foundation of English liberty against arbitrary power wielded by a tyrant. The philosophers John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, and Monstesquieu substantially influenced the underlying principles embodied by the Constitution, such as the notion that the government ‘s duty under a social contract among the sovereign people is to serve them by protecting their natural rights. There is a viewpoint that some Americans have come to see the documents of the Constitution, along with the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights, as being a cornerstone of a type of civic religion.

The General Assembly was created in 1777 shortly after the outbreak of the American Revolution, making it older than the United States Congress. Its Senate and House meet in separate chambers on opposite sides of the third floor of the Capitol. As of the 2010 census, the 56 members of the Senate each represent approximately 172,994 citizens. The General Assembly is required by law to convene on the second Monday of January each year and meet for no longer than 40 legislative days.

Flag What branch of government can check the power of the judiciary by excercising the power of impeachment? Answer by Asapwnz Confidence votes 19The Legislative Branch: The House of Representatives has the sole power to bring \"\"articles of impeachment\"\" (charges) against a member of the Judicial Branch; the Senate has the sole authority to conduct the trial of an impeached individual. If two-thirds of the Senate votes for conviction, the official is removed from office; if the vote for conviction is less than two-thirds, the official is acquitted and resumes serving on the bench. The House of Representative has the power to bring Articles of Impeachment against a government official (like grand jury charges) and votes to determine whether the official should be tried for wrongdoing. If the House votes to impeach, the Senate holds a trial, then votes whether to convict or acquit. If the official is convicted, he or she is removed from public office and disqualified from holding office in the future. There are no legal penalties associated with impeachment.53 people found this useful Was this answer useful? Yes Somewhat No J. P.

Constitution reserves for the Senate special powers not available to the other branch of Congress, the House of Representatives. These powers include the trial of all impeachments of federal officials; the ratification, by a two-thirds vote, of all treaties obtained by the president of the United States; and approval or rejection of all presidential appointments to the federal judiciary,ambassadorships, cabinet positions, and other significant Executive Branch posts. The Senate, with terms of six years for its members—as opposed to two years for members of the House of Representatives—and a tradition of unlimited debate, has long prided itself as the moredeliberate of the two branches of Congress. Under its rules a senator may speak on an issueindefinitely, which is known as the filibuster. Sixty senators present and voting may pass a motion of cloture to stop debate. Members Under Article II, Section 3, of the Constitution, the Senate is made up of two members from eachstate, each of whom has one vote.

The lymphatic system was first described in the seventeenth century independently by Olaus Rudbeck and Thomas Bartholin. Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system is not a closed system. The human circulatory system processes an average of 20 liters of blood per day through capillary filtration, which removes plasma while leaving the blood cells. Roughly 17 litres of the filtered plasma are reabsorbed directly into the blood vessels, while the remaining three litres remain in the interstitial fluid. One of the main functions of the lymph system is to provide an accessory return route to the blood for the surplus three litres. [ 2]The other main function is that of defense in the immune system. Lymph is very similar to blood plasma: it contains lymphocytes. It also contains waste products and cellular debris together with bacteria and proteins."

"text": "Science & Mathematics Biology What does the lymphatic system do?can you explain what the lymphatic system does? thanks Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The lymphatic system is a network that runs throughout the human body, which has a number of different functions. Serving as one of the body’s main vessels of immunity, the lymphatic's primary function is to create immune cells. The system also helps to shuttle away fluids from tissue in the body, as well as absorb fat and move that fat to the circulatory system. It is easiest to think of the lymphatic system as being, in many ways, analogous to the circulatory system. Both are extensive networks of tubes that go virtually everywhere in the body. But where the circulatory system moves blood around the body, the lymphatic system moves a clear liquid known as lymph throughout the body. Lymph is full of white blood cells, also known as lymphocytes, which are the body’s main tools in the immune response. When plasma is released into tissue to help the body, the lymph vessels are where it ultimately drains, so that they can transport it away from the tissue to the thoracic duct, where it is returned to the circulatory system. At a point along the body within the lymphatic system there are small nodes, known as lymph nodes."

This will aid in your study of human anatomy and physiology. At the end of the lesson, a quiz will test your knowledge. Organ System Defined An organ system is a group of anatomical structures that work together to perform a specific function or task. Although we learn about each organ system as a distinct entity, the functions of the body's organ systems overlap considerably, and your body could not function without the cooperation of all of its organ systems. In fact, the failure of even one organ system could lead to severe disability or even death. The human body is composed of 11 different organ systems. These include the following: Integumentary Muscular Skeletal Nervous Circulatory Lymphatic Respiratory Endocrine Urinary/excretory Reproductive Digestive Some scientists add the immune system to this list to make a total of 12 organ systems, but most people consider the immune system to be a part of the lymphatic system. You may also find texts where the lymphatic and immune systems are both included within the circulatory system, which would give us a total of ten organ systems."

"text": "\"The Immune System The immune system consists of a large number of different types of cells and proteins that function to distinguish between normal and abnormal cellular components and between 'self' and 'non-self'. As an example, when a thorn gets stuck in the body, the immune cells are able to recognized the thorn as a foreign object (i.e. 'non-self') and attack it. The same is true for bacteria, viruses or other organisms that can invade our bodies. A more subtle distinction between self and non-self occurs in the recognition of cancer cells by the forces of the immune system. The cancer cells are recognized and attacked because they differ from the normal 'self' from which they arose. The cells and proteins of the immune system participate in two broad and somewhat overlapping types of immunity- Non-specific and Specific 1 Further information on the topics on this page can also be found in most introductory Biology textbooks, we recommend Campbell Biology, 11th edition. 2The sections that follow describe some major components and activities of the immune system: The Innate Immune System The Acquired Immune Response Cells of the Acquired Immune System How the Immune System Sees the World The Lymphatic System The Immune System and Cancer Inflammation and Cancer Chronic vs Acute Inflammation Chronic Inflammation and Cancer Inflammation Prevention Immune System and Inflammation Summary You might also want to view our section on Cancer Vaccines The Innate Immune System The innate immune system gets its name from the fact that we are all born with it already in place, and it changes little throughout our lives. This division of the immune system provides protection by recognizing general features of possible pathogens. For instance, barriers such as the skin block entry of many kinds of organisms. Similarly, cells of the innate immune response recognize general features of pathogens, such as the cell walls of bacteria."

Without it our bodies would swell up like balloons, swamping our cells with stagnant fluid. The lymph system’s impact is so far reaching that many don’t even realize that minor aches and pains, low energy or susceptibility to colds and flu may be due to a sluggish lymph system and a compromised immune system. In this article we’ll discuss the anatomy of the lymph system, what happens during edema and how lymph drainage massage can help, as well as contraindications to lymphatic massage. LYMPH VESSELS: Lymph vessels make an intimate meshwork that covers every inch of your skin, and surrounds each organ in great detail. The lymph vessels start very small in what are called the initial lymphatic. Over 70% of the initial lymphatics are in and just under the skin. The initial lymphatic is a very delicate structure, one cell thick. Those cells are supported within the connective tissue by collagen and elastin fibers that help to anchor them in place. When the pressure within the interstitial space increases due to a buildup of fluid, or when the skin is slightly stretched, the filaments deform the wall of the initial lymphatic, opening it up."

Most people are aware of their cardiovascular system but less commonly aware that the cardiovascular system is only a part of their overall circulatory system. The Cardiovascular system, with the help of red blood cells (RBC), carries and distributes nutrients, oxygen, neurotransmitters, chemicals and hormones to distal parts of the body through arteries and arterioles. The RBCs and their cargo are dropped off in the tissues for cell use. The target cells use these substances and create waste products in return. The Capillaries pick up these RBCs and wastes and carries them in veins to filter the blood through the kidneys and liver before returning to the heart and lungs to do it all over again. The Lymphatics are a series of veins that run from distal parts of the body toward the heart but don’t have a set of arteries leaving the heart. It is a one-way system. The Lymphatic system houses a high concentration of white blood cells and T-cells that are responsible for our immune response."

Distinguish between the composition of the three fluids. interstitial fluid and plasma create pressures that encourage movement of lymph fluid; plasma has proteins, interstitial fluid has proteins, lymph -interstitial: water, fatty acids, salts -plasma: proteins, enzymes, nutrients, hormones, gases -lymph: similar to plasma (considered interstitial until it enters lymphatic vessels)Describe the structure of lymphatic capillaries. Compare and contrast the structure of lymphatic and blood capillaries. lymphatic capillaries are more permeable (endothelial cells are not tightly joined - minivalves vs. blood capillaries that have tight junctions/gap junctions), are very wide spread; not present in RBM, bones, entire CNSDescribe the process of lymph formation (i.e., how/why fluid enters the lymphatic capillaries). When fluid pressure in interstitial space is greater than pressure in lymphatic capillary minivalve flaps open, fluid enters lymphatic capillary. When fluid pressure is greater in lymphatic capillary, minivalves close, preventing lymph from leaking back out as pressure moves it along the vessel. ("

"text": "How Does Lymphoma Cancer Spread?by MELISSA LINGOHR-SMITH Aug. 14, 2017Lymphoma cancers develop in cells of the immune system or in cells of the lymphatic system. They are classified as Hodgkin's or non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and whether they are slow-growing or aggressive. More than 10 different types of non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas exist. The National Cancer Institute or NCI reports that the age-adjusted incidence rate for lymphoma is 22.4 per 100,000 men and women per year. The NCI also notes that the overall five-year survival of people with lymphoma is 70 percent. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Lymphatic System The lymphatic system is composed of a network of interconnected nodes and vessels that transport fluids and nutrients and immune system cells. The thymus and bone marrow are involved in synthesis or maturation of the cells of the immune system that are transported by the lymphatic system. Lymphomas can develop in multiple different types of white blood cells and because they are within the lymphatic system the tumor cells can spread from one lymph node to another via lymphatic vessels. The NCI reports that people with lymphoma often have non-localized cancer in which tumor cells have moved to other parts of the lymphatic system. Malignant Cells The lymphoma-derived tumor cells transported in the lymphatic system need not be malignant."

For the massage technique, see Manual lymphatic drainage. Lymphatic system Human lymphatic system Details Identifiers Latin systema lymphoideum Me SH D008208TA A13.0.00.000FMA 74594Anatomical terminology [ edit on Wikidata]The lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system and an important part of the immune system, comprising a network of lymphatic vessels that carry a clear fluid called lymph (from Latin, lympha meaning \"\"water\"\" [1]) directionally towards the heart. The lymphatic system was first described in the seventeenth century independently by Olaus Rudbeck and Thomas Bartholin. Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system is not a closed system. The human circulatory system processes an average of 20 liters of blood per day through capillary filtration, which removes plasma while leaving the blood cells. Roughly 17 litres of the filtered plasma are reabsorbed directly into the blood vessels, while the remaining three litres remain in the interstitial fluid. One of the main functions of the lymph system is to provide an accessory return route to the blood for the surplus three litres. [ 2]The other main function is that of defense in the immune system. Lymph is very similar to blood plasma: it contains lymphocytes."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Biology What is the difference between blood plasma, tissue fluid and lymph?2 following 8 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The definitions of Plasma, tissue-fluid and lymph are as under. The difference can be understood from these definitions. Blood plasma is the liquid component of blood, in which the blood cells are suspended. Plasma is the largest single component of blood, making up about 55% of total blood volume. Serum refers to blood plasma in which clotting factors (such as fibrin) have been removed. Blood plasma contains many vital proteins including fibrinogen, globulins and human serum albumin. Interstitial fluid (or tissue fluid, or intercellular fluid) is a solution which bathes and surrounds the cells of multicellular animals. It is one of the two components of extracellular fluid, the other being plasma. On average, a person has about 11 litres (2.42 gallons) of interstitial fluid providing the cells of the body with nutrients and a means of waste removal. The lymphatic system is a complex network of lymphoid organs, lymph nodes, lymph ducts, and lymph vessels that produce and transport lymph fluid from tissues to the circulatory system."

In a unique arrangement for the league, the Jets share Met Life Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey with the New York Giants. The franchise is legally and corporately registered as New York Jets, LLC. [ 5]The team was founded in 1959 as the Titans of New York, an original member of the American Football League (AFL); later, the franchise joined the NFL in the AFL–NFL merger in 1970. The team began to play in 1960 at the Polo Grounds. Under new ownership, the current name was adopted in 1963 and the franchise moved to Shea Stadium in 1964 and then to the Meadowlands Sports Complex in 1984. The Jets advanced to the playoffs for the first time in 1968 and went on to compete in Super Bowl III where they defeated the Baltimore Colts, becoming the first AFL team to defeat an NFL club in an AFL–NFL World Championship Game. [ 6] Since 1968, the Jets have appeared in the playoffs 13 times, and in the AFC Championship Game four times, most recently losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2010. ["

State lines don't necessarily divide metro areas. Bam Bam · 9 years ago0 2 Comment I guess it's just not cool to name your team after our state : ( for the record the Devils moved out of the Meadowlands and play in Newark the state's biggest city in a nice new arena called the Prudential Center (wish the Nets would do the same because the IZod Center is out of shape) But back to the question. They are called New York I believe because that's where they started playing and for marketing reasons. There isn't any place or room where they can build an NFL Stadium in New York so they have to play in Meadowlands in NJ and just stuck with the name."

He is one of only two players to win five Super Bowls (the other being defensive player Charles Haley) and the only player to win them all playing for one team. After playing college football for the University of Michigan, Brady was drafted by the Patriots in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft. Due to his late draft selection, Brady is considered to be the biggest \"\"steal\"\" in the history of the NFL Draft. [ 1] [2] [3] In Brady's 16 seasons as a starter, [a] he has quarterbacked the Patriots to eight Super Bowl appearances, the most for any player in history. Brady has been honored with four Super Bowl MVP awards ( Super Bowl XXXVI, XXXVIII, XLIX, and LI ), the most ever by a single player, has won three league MVP awards (2007, 2010, 2017), has been selected to 13 Pro Bowls, and has led his team to more division titles (15) than any other quarterback in NFL history. As of the end of the 2017 regular season, Brady is fourth all-time in total career passing yards, tied for third (with Drew Brees) in career touchdown passes [6], and third in career passer rating. His career postseason record is 27–10, winning more playoff games than any other quarterback, and he has appeared in more playoff games than any player at any position."

He remained in Cleveland for five seasons, and was fired following the team's 1995 season. Belichick then rejoined Parcells, first in New England where the team lost Super Bowl XXXI, and later with the New York Jets. After being named head coach of the Jets in early 2000, Belichick resigned after only one day on the job to accept the head coaching job for the New England Patriots on January 27, 2000. Since then, Belichick has led the Patriots to 15 AFC East division titles, 12 appearances in the AFC Championship Game, and eight Super Bowl appearances.

The upstart AFL operated in direct competition with the more established NFL throughout its existence. It was more successful than earlier rivals to the NFL with the same name, the American Football League (1926), American Football League (1936), American Football League (1940), and the later All-America Football Conference ( (1944-1950), played 1946-1949). This fourth version of the AFL was the most successful, created by a number of owners who had been refused NFL expansion franchises or had minor shares of NFL franchises. The AFL's original lineup consisted of an Eastern division of the New York Titans, Boston Patriots, Buffalo Bills, and the Houston Oilers, and a Western division of the Los Angeles Chargers, Denver Broncos, Oakland Raiders, and Dallas Texans. The league first gained attention by signing 75% of the NFL's first-round draft choices in 1960, including Houston's successful signing of college star and Heisman Trophy winner Billy Cannon. While the first years of the AFL saw uneven competition and low attendance, the league was buttressed by a generous television contract with the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) (followed by a contract with competing National Broadcasting Company (NBC) for games starting with the 1965 season) that broadcast the more offense-oriented football league nationwide."

It is officially known as the NFL Annual Player Selection Meeting. The draft was held April 26–27, 1983, at the New York Sheraton Hotel in New York City, New York. [ 1] [2] No teams elected to claim any players in the supplemental draft that year. This year's draft is frequently referred to as the draft with the quarterback class of 1983, because six quarterbacks were taken in the first round, an unusually high number. Of these quarterbacks, four played in the Super Bowl, four were selected to play in the Pro Bowl, and three have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The next highest number of quarterbacks taken in the first round is the five taken in the 1999 NFL draft. All six quarterbacks were drafted by American Football Conference (AFC) teams, with every member of the five-team AFC East (the Colts, Dolphins, Bills, Jets and Patriots) selecting a quarterback. [ 3] In eleven of the sixteen years following this draft, the AFC was represented in the Super Bowl by a team led by one of these quarterbacks: the Denver Broncos by John Elway (five times), the Buffalo Bills by Jim Kelly (four times), the Miami Dolphins by Dan Marino (once), or the New England Patriots by Tony Eason (once). They met with little success in the Super Bowl, however, compiling a 2–9 record among them, with an 0–9 record for their first 14 years in the league."

Immediately thereafter, artist Phil Bissell developed the \"\" Pat Patriot \"\" logo. [ 2]The Patriots' time in the AFL saw them without a regular home stadium. Nickerson Field, Harvard Stadium, Fenway Park, and Alumni Stadium, all in or near Boston, served as home fields during their time in the American Football League.

It is part of the Meadowlands Sports Complex and serves as the home stadium for two National Football League (NFL) franchises: the New York Giants and the New York Jets. The stadium is owned by the Met Life Stadium Company, a joint venture of the Giants and Jets, who jointly built the stadium using private funds on land owned by the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority. The stadium opened as New Meadowlands Stadium in 2010. In 2011, Met Life, an insurance company based in New York City, acquired the naming rights to the stadium. At a construction cost of approximately $1.6 billion, it was the most expensive stadium ever built, [8] at the time it opened, and is the second-largest stadium in the NFL in terms of seating capacity. Met Life Stadium is the only NFL stadium shared by two clubs since the 2000s. Los Angeles' Staples Center ( the Clippers and the Lakers) of the National Basketball Association (NBA) is the only other facility to currently house two teams from the same sports league in the United States.

"text": "Bill Belichick, byname of William Stephen Belichick, (born April 16, 1952, Nashville, Tennessee, U. S.), American professional gridiron football coach who led the New England Patriots of the National Football League (NFL) to five Super Bowl titles (2002, 2004, 2005, 2015, and 2017), the most for an NFL head coach. Belichick’s father was an assistant collegiate football coach, primarily at the United States Naval Academy, who taught his son the finer points of the sport from an early age. The young Belichick attended team meetings and film sessions and knew how to diagram complex plays before he became a teenager. Although possessed of a precocious football intelligence, he was a limited football player who received no interest from top-division colleges and instead played centre and tight end at the smaller Wesleyan University, Middletown, Connecticut. Upon his graduation in 1975, Belichick was hired as a special assistant for the Baltimore Colts. He moved on to assistant-coaching positions with the Detroit Lions and the Denver Broncos before joining the coaching staff of the New York Giants in 1979. He served as special-teams coach and then linebackers coach before being promoted to defensive coordinator by head coach Bill Parcells in 1985. Capitalizing on the presence of future Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor, Belichick developed one of the NFL’s most dominant defenses of the 1980s. In four of his six seasons as coordinator, his Giants defenses ranked in the top five of the NFL in yards and points allowed and were integral to the team’s two Super Bowl victories (1987, 1991) during that span. As a result of his success with the Giants, Belichick was named the head coach of the Cleveland Browns in 1991."

Television brought professional football into prominence in the modern era after World War II. Since then, National Football League broadcasts have become among the most-watched programs on American television, and the financial fortunes of entire networks have rested on owning NFL broadcasting rights. This has raised questions about the impartiality of the networks' coverage of games and whether they can criticize the NFL without fear of losing the rights and their income. Since the 1960s, all regular season and playoff games broadcast in the United States have been aired by national television networks. Until the broadcast contract ended in 2013, the terrestrial television networks CBS ($3.73B), NBC ($3.6B) and Fox ($4.27B) — as well as cable television's ESPN ($8.8B) — paid a combined total of US$20.4 billion [1] to broadcast NFL games. From 2014 to 2022, the same networks will pay $39.6 billion for exactly the same broadcast rights. [ 2] The NFL thus holds broadcast contracts with four companies ( CBS Corporation, Comcast, 21st Century Fox and The Walt Disney Company / Hearst Corporation, respectively) that control a combined vast majority of the country's television product. League-owned NFL Network, on cable television, also broadcasts a selected number of games nationally. In 2017, the NFL games attracted the top three rates for a 30-second advertisement: $699,602 for NBC Sunday Night Football, $550,709 for Thursday Night Football (NBC), and $549,791 for Thursday Night Football (CBS).

The primitive kidney is built for osmoregulation and functions in marine, freshwater and land environments. Nitrogenous waste can be removed by diffusion through the skin in aquatic environments, but on land, the removal of nitrogenous waste is a primary function of kidneys. Kidneys consist of several renal corpuscles (glomerulus in a Bowman’s capsule) each connected to a tubule leading to a common tubule which is segmentaly attached to a longitudinal collecting duct. Gonads produce gametes and maintain secondary sex organs (reproductive ducts and glands) and secondary sex characteristics. They arise from genital ridges medial to the nephric tissue. Germ cells migrate into the genital ridges. Genes and hormones determine whether the germ cells will form ovaries or testes. Eggs are released into the coelom before entering the oviduct. Sperm is always in a closed system of vessels."

"text": "Effusion Definition, Types, Causes, Symptoms, Treatment Posted by Dr. Chris Tweet Effusion Definition Effusion is the term for accumulation of fluid in a body cavity particularly within the cranial cavity, in the middle ear, around the lungs, around the heart, in the abdomen (peritoneal cavity) and in the joint spaces. It is also referred to as fluid retention or water retention because most of the fluid is composed of water. However, sometimes blood or pus can be mixed with the fluid and collect in these cavities. Difference between Effusion and Edema Fluid retention can also refer to edema which is commonly known as tissue swelling. Edema is the accumulation of excess fluid within the tissues whereas the term effusion indicates collection of fluid within a cavity of the body. There is sometimes confusion about these terms, particularly with certain organs like the lung. For example if there is fluid in the lung then it is known as pulmonary edema but fluid around the lung is known as a pleural effusion. Effusion Meaning What is an effusion? An effusion is an abnormal collection of fluid within a cavity. Sometimes there is a little fluid within some of these cavities that is considered to be normal and is mainly for lubrication or proection."

"text": "Uroabdomen (Urine leaking in abdominal cavity) in Cats4 Aug, 2015 Dr. Anne Marie Manning 164,782 Views Share Uroabdomen (Urine Leaking in Abdominal Cavity) in Cats The normal urinary tract is composed of two kidneys, two ureters, a urinary bladder and a urethra. As blood flows through the kidneys of the cat, waste products are removed and pass through thin tubes called ureters into the bladder. The urinary bladder is a reservoir for these waste products. When the bladder is sufficiently full, there is an urge to urinate and the urine is voluntarily released from the bladder, through the urethra and out the body. Any damage of the urinary tract can lead to leakage of urine outside of the urinary tract, resulting in urine accumulation within the abdomen. This is referred to as uroabdomen or uroperitoneum. A uroabdomen is a life threatening condition. Accumulation of urine in the abdomen creates serious disturbances in electrolytes such as potassium, which has adverse effects on the heart. Waste products that normally are cleared by the kidneys and eliminated in the urine are retained within the abdomen causing serious elevations in kidney values. Additionally, irritation and inflammation of the lining of the abdomen (peritonitis) results."

"text": "Peritoneal Dialysis: Dose & Adequacy When kidneys fail, waste products such as urea and creatinine build up in the blood. One way to remove these wastes is a process called peritoneal dialysis (PD). The walls of the abdominal cavity are lined with a membrane called the peritoneum. During PD, a mixture of dextrose (sugar), salt, and other minerals dissolved in water, called dialysis solution, is placed in a person's abdominal cavity through a catheter. The body's peritoneal membrane enclosing the digestive organs allows waste products and extra body fluid to pass from the blood into the dialysis solution. These wastes then leave the body when the used solution is drained from the abdomen. Each cycle of draining and refilling is called an exchange. The time the solution remains in the abdomen between exchanges is called the dwell time. During this dwell time, some of the dextrose in the solution crosses the membrane and is absorbed by the body. Many factors affect how much waste and extra fluid are removed from the blood."

This is referred to as renal replacement therapy. Dialysis may be used in those with rapidly developing loss of kidney function, called acute kidney injury (previously called acute renal failure); or slowly worsening kidney function, called Stage 5 chronic kidney disease, (previously called chronic kidney failure and end-stage renal disease and end-stage kidney disease ). Dialysis is used as a temporary measure in either acute kidney injury or in those awaiting kidney transplant and as a permanent measure in those for whom a transplant is not indicated or not possible. [ 1]In Great Britain and the United States, dialysis is paid for by the government for those that are eligible. The first successful dialysis was performed in 1943.

"text": "\"Home » Dog Conditions Painful Abdomen in Dogs Peritonitis in Dogs Peritonitis is often associated with acute abdominal pain due to the sudden inflammation of the abdominal tissues, or peritoneum, hence the name for the condition. This causes fluid to shift into the peritoneal cavity, leading to severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Peritonitis may be due to infectious causes such as the stomach flu or non-infectious causes such as a hernia. While younger dogs tend to have acute abdomen due to infectious and traumatic causes, malignant cancers are more often the cause of acute abdomen in older dogs. It is crucial to determine the underlying cause of the acute abdomen as your veterinarian may have to perform emergency surgery to resolve it. Symptoms and Types Lethargy Trembling Crying, Whimpering Abnormal posture (i.e., may be \"\"guarding\"\" the stomach by curling up, or leaning forward with back end higher in attempt to relieve pain)Heavy breathing Swollen abdomen (may be rigid to the touch Diarrhea, which may be black (also referred to as melena)May have vomiting if the stomach or intestines are involved Causes Infectious Causes Holes in the dog's stomach lining Viruses of the stomach or intestinal tract Feline infectious peritonitis virus Viral enteritis (stomach flu)Parasites of the stomach or intestines Bacterial infection of the uterus Abscesses of the liver, spleen, and/or pancreas Non-infectious Causes Tumors Cancers Poisoning Congenital Defects Trauma to the abdomen, possibly involving rupture of organs (hernia)Rupturing of the ureters (tubes which carry urine), bladder or of a pregnant uterus Congenital hernia causing entrapment of organs Obstruction of the urethra or ureters Kidney or gallbladder obstruction (e.g., calculi deposits)Gastric dilation and volvulus Diagnosis Your veterinarian will need a complete medical history to begin to identify what is causing the acute abdomen. The history you provide may give your veterinarian clues as to which organs are causing the sudden abdominal pain. He or she will also perform a complete physical examination to see if the pain is really in the abdomen and not the kidneys or back. If your dog has a swollen abdomen, your veterinarian will use a fine needle to withdraw some of the fluid from the abdomen to send to the laboratory for analysis. A complete blood profile will be conducted, including a chemical blood profile, a complete blood count, an electrolyte panel and a urinalysis."

While in dogs and cats, that isn't always possible unless an exploratory is performed, visualization of internal organs can be easily undertaken in birds. What is so different about a bird that makes endoscopy so practical? The unique anatomy and physiology of birds makes them perfect candidates for endoscopic procedures. Birds do not have a diaphragm and they have air sacs in addition to lungs. Mammals must have carbon dioxide pumped into the peritoneal cavity in order to more easily identify organs by endoscopy. This is not required, nor advised, in avian species, due to the natural inflation of the air sacs. Birds don't have a peritoneal cavity that is analogous to that found in mammals. There are 16 separate and distinct cavities enclosed within the body wall of an adult bird. Eight are cavities of the air sacs and the other eight cavities are those of the coelom proper."

"text": "\"kidney dialysis Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia . Dialysis, Kidney Definition Dialysis treatment replaces the function of the kidneys, which normally serve as the body'snatural filtration system. Through the use of a blood filter and a chemical solution known as dialysate, the treatment removes waste products and excess fluids from the bloodstream, whilemaintaining the proper chemical balance of the blood. There are two types of dialysis treatment:hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Purpose Dialysis can be used in the treatment of patients suffering from poisoning or overdose, in order to quickly remove drugs from the bloodstream. Its most prevalent application, however, is forpatients with temporary or permanent kidney failure. For patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), whose kidneys are no longer capable of adequately removing fluids and wastes fromtheir body or of maintaining the proper level of certain kidney-regulated chemicals in thebloodstream, dialysis is the only treatment option available outside of kidney transplantation. In 1996 in the United States, over 200,000 people underwent regular dialysis treatments to manage their ESRD. Precautions Blood pressure changes associated with hemodialysis may pose a risk for patients with heartproblems. Peritoneal dialysis may be the preferred treatment option in these cases."

Kidney failure occurs when the kidneys are no longer able to remove waste and maintain fluid balance in the body. Without some form of treatment, this would result in death. The two types of treatment for kidney failure are dialysis or transplantation. There are two different kinds of dialysis: hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. During hemodialysis, tubes connect the patient to a machine that filters the blood. Hemodialysis is usually done three times a week for 3-4 hours each time. It is usually done at a dialysis center, although in some cases families can be trained to do the treatment at home. People on hemodialysis must adhere to a strict diet, restrict their fluid intake and may feel unwell especially after dialysis. Peritoneal dialysis uses the abdominal cavity membrane called the peritoneal membrane to filter the blood."

Symptoms Side effects People with failed or damaged kidneys may have difficulty eliminating waste and unwanted water from the blood. Dialysis is an artificial way of carrying out this process. Dialysis substitutes the natural work of the kidneys, so it is also known as renal replacement therapy (RRT). Healthy kidneys regulate the body's levels of water and minerals and remove waste. The kidneys also secrete certain products that are important in metabolism, but dialysis cannot do this. What is dialysis? The kidneys filter and eliminate waste. A healthy person's kidneys filter around 120 to 150 quarts of blood each day. If the kidneys are not working correctly, waste builds up in the blood."

Definition The organs of the abdomen are contained in a sac or membrane called the peritoneum. Normally the peritoneal cavity contains only a small amount of fluid, although in women this can vary (by 20ml, or less than an ounce) depending on the menstrual cycle. \"\" Ascites is the term used to denote increased fluid in the peritoneal cavity, a situation that is not normal. There are a variety of diseases that can cause the fluid to accumulate and the reasons that the ascites occurs may be different for each disease. Cancer that spreads to the peritoneum can cause direct leakage of fluid, while other illnesses cause an excess accumulation of water and sodium in the body. This fluid can eventually leak into the peritoneal cavity. Most commonly, ascites is due to liver disease and the inability of that organ to produce enough protein to retain fluid in the bloodstream as well as obstruction to flow through the scarred cirrhotic liver. Normally, water is held in the bloodstream by oncotic pressure."

Purpose There are two reasons to take fluid out of the abdomen. One is to analyze it for diagnostic purposes; the other is to relieve pressure. Liquid that accumulates in the abdomen is called ascites. Ascites seeps out of organs for several reasons related either to disease in the organ or fluid pressures that are changing. Liver disease All the blood flowing through the intestines passes through the liver on its way back to the heart. When progressive disease such as alcohol damage or hepatitis destroys enough liver tissue, the scarring that results shrinks the liver and constricts blood flow. Such scarring of the liver is called cirrhosis. Pressure builds in the intestinal blood circulation, slowing flow and pushing fluid into the surrounding tissues. Slowly the fluid accumulates in areas with the lowest pressure and greatest capacity."

The serous membranes are primarily responsible for secreting enough fluid lubrication for the purpose of digestion. The serous membranes have two segments - the visceral segment (which house the internal organs) and the parietal segment (which line the body wall). The serous membranes that take care of the lungs are called pleurae, and those that look after the abdominal cavity are called peritoneum (or peritoneal membranes). The parietal peritoneum line the whole abdominal cavity. The parietal peritoneum folds over itself, creating an existential fold near the back wall of the abdominal cavity.

It is important to appreciate that it is the angles between the projection of the axes that are being discussed and not the true angles between the axes themselves which is always 90º. To explain the \"\"Projection of the axes\"\" lets take a view of a cube so that its three principal faces are visible. Lets place a transparent sheet of perspex in front of the cube and draw lines where the front edges of the cube meet at a point. The angle between adjacent edges of a cube is always 90º. After drawing the outline of the converging edges on the perspex we can measure the angles between them. We can see that the angle between adjacent edges is greater than 90º in all three cases i.e µ>90º,ß>90º and Ø>90º. These are the angles between the projection of the axes. Theses axes are known as the axonometric axes. If the angle between all three axes are the same then an isometric view results ( µ=ß=Ø); if two of the angles are the same then a dimetric view results (e.g.µ<>ß, ß=Ø); finally if all three angles are different a trimetric view results (i.e. µ<>ß<>Ø). In third angle the planes of projection are in front of the object so the projection of the axonometric axes will be along the front corner of the object. The cube in the animation is in third angle as the axonometric axes intersect at its front corner. These axes would be used to solve questions in third angle."

"text": "We explain what perpendicular means and how children are taught angles throughout KS1 and KS2. What is perpendicular? When two lines are perpendicular, they are at right angles to each other. All of these diagrams show pairs of lines that are perpendicular to each other. Learning about right angles and perpendicular lines in primary school Children learn about quarter, half and full turns in Key Stage 1, where they are usually encouraged to stand up and make turns to face objects in the classroom to give them an idea of what a quarter, half and full turn are. In Year 3, children need to be aware that a straight line is made up of two right angles and that a quarter turn is a right angle. They will be asked to identify these in 2D shapes. At this point, they will also learn that two lines at right angles to each other are called perpendicular lines. Identifying perpendicular lines in shapes Example geometry questions a Key Stage 2 child might come across are: Tick the two shapes that have perpendicular lines: In this case, they would need to tick the first and fourth shapes, as these have perpendicular lines (lines at right angles to each other). Add two lines to this drawing to make a shape that has perpendicular lines: Tick the shape that has a pair of perpendicular lines and an acute angle: (They would need to tick the second shape. )"

Bisector of an Angle The steps required to bisect (cut in half) an angle are shown in the following example. Example 3Use a ruler and compass to bisect the angle ABC: Solution: Step 1: Draw an arc with B as the centre to cut the arms, BA and BC, of the angle at P and Q respectively. Step 2: Using the same radius, draw an arc centred at P. Step 3: With centre Q and using the same radius, draw an arc to cut the arc in Step 2 at R. Step 4: Join, B, the vertex of the angle to the point R. BR bisects the angle ABC, and is called the bisector of angle ABC. Perpendicular Bisector of a Line Segment The steps required to construct a perpendicular bisector of a line segment are shown in the following example. Example 4Use a ruler and compass to perpendicularly bisect a line, AB, 8 cm long. Solution: Step 1: Draw a line, AB, 8 cm long. Step 2: Draw an arc centred at A with a radius of more than half of the length of AB. Step 3: Using the same radius, draw an arc centred at B to cut the arc drawn in Step 2 at P and Q.

Field of the Invention This invention relates to tools for aligning concrete blocks in construction and particularly to spacers that are used to align concrete blocks.2. Description of the Prior Art In masonry construction, one of the most used items is the ubiquitous concrete block. These blocks are used to build everything from foundation and walls to backyard bar-b-ques. These blocks are designed to assemble easily and quickly. However, a block construction must be monitored to ensure that the particular construction (e.g., a wall) remains level, plumb and square, with the courses of block remaining in proper alignment throughout the construction. This is a constant problem for experienced professional, it is even more problematic for less skilled workers, especially in a stack bond type of construction. Thus, it takes a substantial amount of time to ensure that the construction remains level, plumb and square, with the courses of block remaining in proper alignment throughout the construction. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTIONThe instant invention overcomes this problem. It is a spacer that attaches to wire grids used in laying concrete block or similar type block."

Perpendicular Lines Since we are going to be talking about the relationship of the slopes of perpendicular lines, I think we can agree that we should probably have a quick review of what perpendicular lines are, right? Perpendicular lines are two lines that intersect in such a way that they have a right angle, or a 90 degree angle, between them. Perpendicular Lines You probably observe perpendicular lines every day without even realizing it! For example, perpendicular lines can be observed on floor tiles, on fences, on traffic signs, or on furniture. These are just a few examples. I bet if you looked around the room you are in right now, you could find some perpendicular lines.

"text": "\"To design for visual comfort, you need to know how to measure light. The measurement and perception of light can be an in-depth topic, and effectively analyzing daylight requires being precise with the terms and metrics used. Jump down to...- Basic Metrics- Luminous Flux & Intensity = light from a source- Illuminance = light falling on a surface- Comfortable Illumination Levels- Luminance = light reflected by a surface- Other Measures- Daylight Factor- Daylight Autonomy- Useful Daylight Illuminance Basic Metrics The \"\"brightness\"\" of light can mean different things: for example, the amount of light coming from a light source is luminous flux (lumens), the amount of light falling on a surface is illuminance (lux), and the amount of light reflected off a surface is luminance (cd/m2). These quantities are different because the farther a surface is from a light source, the less light that falls on the surface, and the darker a surface is, the less incident light it reflects. This is because light follows the inverse-square law. For example, a point source like a candle that causes an illuminance of 1 lux on an object one meter away would cause an illumination of 1/4 lux on the same object two meters away, or 1/9 lux on the object when it is 3 meters away. Being precise about metrics for lighting and daylighting is important. Luminous Flux and Intensity = Light Coming from a Source The amount of light being given off by a particular source, in all directions, is called luminous flux (or “luminous power”) and is a measure of the total perceived power of light. It is measured in lumens. Lumens are a useful metric for comparing how bright a light source is (i.e. a 60W incandescent bulb is about 850 lumens – see Electric Light Sources for more about lighting efficiency)."

"text": "Aliza Morgan Answered Apr 1, 2015 · Author has 52 answers and 58.2k answer views A light-emitting diode ( LED) is a two-lead semiconductor light source. It is a pn-junction diode, which emits light when activated. When a suitable voltage is applied to the leads, electrons are able to recombine with electron holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence, and the color of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photon) is determined by the energy band gap of the semiconductor. There are several types of multi-color white LEDs: di-, tri-, and tetrachromatic white LEDs. Several key factors that play among these different methods, include color stability, color rendering capability, and luminous efficacy. Often, higher efficiency will mean lower color rendering, presenting a trade-off between the luminous efficiency and color rendering. For example, the dichromatic white LEDs have the best luminous efficacy (120 lm/W), but the lowest color rendering capability. However, although tetrachromatic white LEDs have excellent color rendering capability, they often have poor luminous efficiency. Trichromatic white LEDs are in between, having both good luminous efficacy (>70 lm/W) and fair color rendering capability.16.2k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private."

The images below are designed to help you pick optimal brightness/contrast settings.

In North America they’re usually red, and can also be amber. Almost everywhere else in the world, they have to be amber. Traffic moves and changes quickly. Fractions of a second make the difference between a crash and a miss. That means that clear, unambiguous brake and turn signals must convey their message without requiring any unnecessary decoding — as in, a red light = brakes and amber = turn. Amber wins over red even without the less dramatic niceties: in traffic, drivers looking well ahead can make better decisions about lane changes; traffic congestion is reduced. But safety regulations aren’t based on common sense; they’re supposed to be based on evidence, facts, and science."

"text": "\"SHARPENING: UNSHARP MASKAn \"\"unsharp mask\"\" is actually used to sharpen an image, contrary to what its name might lead you to believe. Sharpening can help you emphasize texture and detail, and is critical when post-processing most digital images. Unsharp masks are probably the most common type of sharpening, and can be performed with nearly any image editing software (such as Photoshop). An unsharp mask cannot create additional detail, but it can greatly enhance the appearance of detail by increasing small-scale acutance. CONCEPTThe sharpening process works by utilizing a slightly blurred version of the original image. This is then subtracted away from the original to detect the presence of edges, creating the unsharp mask (effectively a high-pass filter). Contrast is then selectively increased along these edges using this mask — leaving behind a sharper final image. STEP 1: Detect Edges and Create Mask Higher Contrast Original–Original–Blurred Copy=Unsharp Mask STEP 2: Use Mask to Increase Contrast at Edges–Higher Contrast Original+Unsharp Mask+Original=Sharpened Final Image Note: Step 2 combines the three images using a \"\"mask overlay,\"\" which is when image information from the layer above the unsharp mask passes through and replaces the layer below in a way which is proportional to the brightness in that region of the mask. The upper image does not contribute to the final for regions where the mask is black, while it completely replaces the layer below in regions where the unsharp mask is white. If the resolution in the above image is not increasing, then why is the final text so much sharper?"

What medical conditions can involve problems with this part of the body? A pleural effusion is the buildup of excess fluid in the pleural cavity, the fluid-filled space surrounding the lungs. It is one of several disorders affecting the pleural cavity and one that can directly interfere with the expansion of the lungs and a person’s ability to breathe. The accumulation of fluids can range from anything from a few extra ounces to several liters. Viral infection and congestive heart failure are among the many causes. Similar conditions involve the buildup of air or blood in the pleural space. Anatomy of the Pleural Cavity The pleural cavity is the space that lies between the pleura, the two thin membranes that line and surround the lungs. The pleural cavity contains a small amount of liquid known as pleural fluid, which provides lubrication as the lungs expand and contract during respiration. The pleural cavity consists of the parietal pleura attached to the chest wall and the visceral pleura attached to the lungs."

Pleural effusion, also called water on the lung, is an excessive buildup of fluid in the space between your lungs and chest cavity. Thin membranes, called pleura, cover the outside of the lungs and the inside of the chest cavity. There’s always a small amount of liquid within this lining to help lubricate the lungs as they expand within the chest during breathing. Certain medical conditions can cause a pleural effusion. Pleural effusions are common, with approximately 1 million cases diagnosed in the United States every year, according to the American Thoracic Society. It’s a serious condition associated with an increased risk of death. In one study, 15 percent of hospitalized people diagnosed with pleural effusions died within 30 days. Causes How does pleural effusion develop? The pleura creates too much fluid when it’s irritated, inflamed, or infected."

Each lung is contained within a pleural cavity, the space between the outside of the lung and inside of the chest wall. Pleural membranes cover the outside of the lungs and line the inside of the chest wall. The lungs remain expanded when we breathe due to a vacuum effect within the pleural cavity. Pleural Cavities and Membranes The thoracic cavity contains the lungs along with other organs, such as the heart. Each lung is contained within a pleural cavity. Each pleural cavity is defined by a space surrounding each lung and is lined by a pleural membrane. The pleural membrane is made up of two layers. These layers can be illustrated in a transverse section of the thoracic cavity: Transverse section of the thoracic cavity The visceral or pulmonary pleura covers the outside of the lungs, and the parietal or costal pleura lines the inside of the chest wall, and it extends over the top of diaphragm. The pleural membranes secrete a lubricating fluid which allows them to move freely against each other during ventilation, like pistons within a cylinder of an engine."

The membranes and associated fluid serve to protect the lungs and to provide lubrication. Lung tissue is delicate and easily damaged compared to muscle, bone, or connective tissue. Protecting the lungs from damaging interactions with other tissues is important. The lungs are also constantly expanding and contracting. The pleural membranes and fluid allow the lungs to easily move within the body cavity with minimal friction from other organs.

"text": "Thoracic cavity, also called chest cavity, the second largest hollow space of the body. It is enclosed by the ribs, the vertebral column, and the sternum, or breastbone, and is separated from the abdominal cavity (the body’s largest hollow space) by a muscular and membranous partition, the diaphragm. It contains the lungs, the middle and lower airways—the tracheobronchial tree—the heart, the vessels transporting blood between the heart and the lungs, the great arteries bringing blood from the heart out into general circulation, and the major veins into which the blood is collected for transport back to the heart. The heart is covered by a fibrous membrane sac called the pericardium that blends with the trunks of the vessels running to and from the heart. The thoracic cavity also contains the esophagus, the channel through which food is passed from the throat to the stomach. The lungs serve as the gas-exchanging organ for the process of respiration. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. The chest cavity is lined with a serous membrane, which exudes a thin fluid. That portion of the chest membrane is called the parietal pleura. The membrane continues over the lung, where it is called the visceral pleura, and over part of the esophagus, the heart, and the great vessels, as the mediastinal pleura, the mediastinum being the space and the tissues and structures between the two lungs. Because the atmospheric pressure between the parietal pleura and the visceral pleura is less than that of the outer atmosphere, the two surfaces tend to touch, friction between the two during the respiratory movements of the lung being eliminated by the lubricating actions of the serous fluid."

Related Book Clinical Anatomy For Dummies By David Terfera, Shereen Jegtvig The thoracic cavity is basically the chest, including everything between the neck and the diaphragm. It’s home to the thoracic organs and is protected by the thoracic cage. The heart and lungs are essential for survival and both are prone to certain diseases, so you need to be able to examine them. The thoracic cavity has three compartments: the mediastinum and two pleural cavities. The mediastinum is home to the heart, trachea, great vessels, and some other structures. The pleural cavities are on either side of the mediastinum and contain the lungs and the pleural linings. The mediastinum The mediastinum is the compartment that takes up the middle portion of the thoracic cavity. It’s lined by mediastinal pleura and extends from the superior thoracic aperture (where the thoracic cavity opens into the neck) down to the diaphragm (the main muscle for breathing)."

"text": "The pleural cavity is an area which surrounds the lung. Each lung is inside an isolated pleural cavity, with the lungs forming inside the cavity during fetal development. This space inside the body is formed between the parietal and visceral pleura which line the lungs and body cavity. It allows room for the lungs to expand and contract, and is designed to make it easy for the lungs to inflate after they have deflated. If problems develop inside the pleural cavity, people can experience difficulty breathing. This structure is also known as the pleural space or pleural membrane. In healthy human beings, it is filled with a small amount of fluid which acts as a lubricant. As the lungs inflate, the lubricant allows the pleura to slide without resistance so that the lungs can expand and as they deflate, it reduces friction inside the pleural cavity so that the lungs deflate smoothly. Like other body fluids, pleural fluid cycles continuously, with the body constantly making more of the fluid while excess old fluid is carried away. One problem which can emerge in the pleural cavity is mesothelioma, a type of cancer which attacks the tissues found in the pleural cavity."

"text": "\"Pleural Effusion in Cats By Ernest Ward, DVMEmergency Situations, Medical Conditions What is a pleural effusion? Pleural effusion refers to an accumulation of fluid within the pleural cavity. This fluid is usually located within the pleural sac which is a serous membrane covering the lungs. The pleural sac can be thought of as a \"\"plastic wrap\"\" around the lungs that can potentially hold fluid or air (a potential space). It normally contains only a small amount of fluid, sufficient to keep the lung surfaces slippery and prevent them from sticking to the chest wall. \"\"... pleural effusion involves fluid on the outside or surrounding the lungs...\"\"When excess fluid enters this space, it compresses the lungs so that they cannot fully expand and results in impaired breathing. It must be emphasized that a pleural effusion involves fluid on the outside or surrounding the lungs, not within the lung tissues. Fluid accumulation within the lungs is generally called pulmonary edema. What are the clinical signs of pleural effusions? Clinical signs are related to the specific cause of the fluid accumulation but most commonly include: Dyspnea (labored or difficulty breathing)Tachypnea (increased respiratory rate)Orthopnea (difficulty breathing except in the upright position)Cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin and mucous membranes)Open-mouth breathing Exercise intolerance Loss of appetite Lethargy \"\"Many cats will present with open-mouth, rapid breathing. \"\""

A bulldozer makes its way past palm trees on Hulhumale, an artificial island built by Maldives. Emmanuel Dunand/AFP/Getty Images Countries struggling with climate change could learn a lot from a constellation of tiny islands in the Indian Ocean. The Republic of Maldives was one of the first countries to recognize the danger of rising sea levels. It's also one of the first to come up with a plan to adapt to a warmer world. It's easy to see why this nation is so attuned to climate change. In the Maldives, you can climb a small palm tree and be higher than the highest point of land. These islands burst through the surface of the ocean thousands of years ago when a chain of underwater volcanoes erupted. They've been subsiding ever since.

There may be coral islands or cays on the rim. [ 3] ( p60) [4] The coral of the atoll often sits atop the rim of an extinct seamount or volcano which has eroded or subsided partially beneath the water. The lagoon forms over the volcanic crater or caldera while the higher rim remains above water or at shallow depths that permit the coral to grow and form the reefs. For the atoll to persist, continued erosion or subsidence must be at a rate slow enough to permit reef growth upwards and outwards to replace the lost height.

"text": "10 Most Captivating Atolls in the World Last updated on October 24, 2017 in Beaches and Islands, Landscapes 5 Comments An atoll is a ring of coral that originally grew completely around the shoreline of an island, and which continued to grow upward on top of itself as the island subsided or eroded away. As reef building corals thrive only in warm waters, atolls are only found in the tropics and subtropics. In other words; atolls are made up of turquoise lagoons and colorful reefs teaming with marine life, offering picture postcard beaches and a Robinson Crusoe life style.10. Funafutiflickr/ Lily-Anne Homasi Tuvalu is an island nation located in the Pacific Ocean, midway between Hawaii and Australia, probably best known for its “.tv” internet domain name. It is the second-least populous sovereign state in the world, with only Vatican City having fewer inhabitants. Because of the country’s remoteness, few tourists ever visit Tuvalu. It’s capital Funafuti is a small coral atoll; the width is only about 20 meters (66 ft) at the narrowest parts, and about 400 meters (1300 ft) at the widest part of the island. It has an estimated population of 4,500 and is a low key place. There is a cluster of administrative buildings near the air terminal along with a beautiful church and one hotel.9.

Maldives is a country of South Asia, situated in the Indian Ocean, south-southwest of India. It consists of approximately 1,190 coral islands grouped in a double chain of 26 atolls, spread over roughly 90,000 square kilometers, making this one of the most disparate countries in the world. Composed of live coral reefs and sand bars, the atolls are situated atop a submarine ridge 960 kilometers long that rises abruptly from the depths of the Indian Ocean and runs from north to south. Only near the southern end of this natural coral barricade do two open passages permit safe ship navigation from one side of the Indian Ocean to the other through the territorial waters of Maldives. For administrative purposes the Maldives government organized these atolls into nineteen administrative divisions. [ 1]The largest island of Maldives is Gan, which belongs to Laamu Atoll or Hahdhummathi Maldives. ["

"text": "Maldives Islands Paradise awaits you… If your idea of paradise is a pristine tropical island with swaying palm trees and pure white beaches surrounded by crystalline lagoons of varying shades of blue – then the Maldives Islands will definitely fit the bill. Indeed, it is not without reason that the Maldives has been described as ‘ (the) flower of the Indies’ by Marco Polo and ‘one of the wonders of the world’ by Ibn Batuta. It is no wonder that a large percentage of tourists who come to the Maldives are repeat visitors – people who came once and fell so in love with the place that they simple had to come again. The beauty of Maldives is indeed addictive. Once you sample the heady mixture of secluded serenity, thrilling water sports activities, soothing spas, relaxing beaches all wrapped in the luxurious comfort of modern amenities – you are bound to want the experience again. Sunny, unique and unspoiled, the islands of Maldives offers you sunshine, no matter what time of the year you decide to visit the Maldives – islands that are truly heaven on Earth. Maldives Atolls Maldives Islands is an archipelago comprising 1,190 low-lying coral islands scattered across the equator, in groups of 26 naturally occurring atolls which are divided into 20 for administrative purposes. The atolls of Maldives are in fact part of a greater structure known as the Laccadives-Chagos Ridge, which stretches over 2000 kilometres. The islands of Maldives are very low lying with the highest point at approximately 8 feet above sea level. ‘ Faru’ or ring-shaped reef structures form the atolls and these provide natural defense against wind and wave action, on the delicate islands."

"text": "Weather in March 201824 SHARESThe weather in March in the Northern Hemisphere is paired with longer, lighter days and the first shoots of spring, which is enough to convince many British holidaymakers that this is a good month to go away - after the depths of winter and before the crowds of summer. The tide is just starting to turn on the seasons, so you will find a few places close to home that enjoy very pleasant weather in March, while beach lovers will still have to fly a little further. Popular holiday destinations in March Algarve Bali Barbados Benidorm Cancun Costa del Sol Cyprus Dominican Republic Dubai Fuerteventura Gran Canaria Ibiza Jamaica Lanzarote Majorca Maldives Malta Miami Morocco Orlando Sri Lanka Tenerife Destination When▼Weather▼Best holiday weather in March We've scoured the globe to bring you our highlights of destinations which offer something for everyone, be it a bustling culture-rich city, an outdoorsy sort's paradise, or that sandy beach just calling for a sunlounger - read on to see if you could be tempted to jet off somewhere exciting that has truly inviting weather in March: Short haul Long haul - up to 10 hours Long haul - 10 hours or more Weather in March © Cestomano - Flickr Creative Commons Short haul: Algarve, Tunisia, Gambia and more We may not be short of places close to home with warm and sunny weather in March, but we are still a little light on seriously hot beach holiday destinations. The following resorts and countries all offer some fabulous spring conditions, but are best viewed as places to investigate and discover instead of necessarily working on the tan and swimming in the sea. While March is the first month of the year when we can mention the Algarve with any real conviction, there's still a big caveat: the weather in March, specifically around the resort of Albufeira, is certainly the sunniest in mainland Europe with over seven hours per day, but temperatures still peak at about 18°C, and the sea is a definite no-no for swimming, maxing out at just under 16°C. The weather in March in southern Portugal is actually very similar to the eastern Med island of Cyprus at this time. While you may not find yourself lying on the beach, both destinations are great for those who fancy a spot of hiking, cycling, and simply want to feel some warming rays. Vineyard in volcanic landscape, Lanzarote © Quatte - Dreamstime.com By comparison, year-round favourite the Canary Islands, located just under 800 miles to the southwest of the Algarve, also has about seven hours of sunshine each day, with Lanzarote and Fuerteventura being the sunniest of the lot - just. The weather in March sees pretty consistent temperatures across the islands, reaching 21°C, so it is that bit warmer, although you'll need to add an extra hour and half on to your journey compared with flying to the Algarve. Hopping east to the continent of Africa, you're presented with a variety of different options when it comes to places with the best weather in March."

It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. Indonesia was the hardest-hit country, followed by Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand. It is the third-largest earthquake ever recorded on a seismograph and had the longest duration of faulting ever observed, between 8.3 and 10 minutes. [ 10] It caused the entire planet to vibrate as much as 1 centimetre (0.4 inches) [11] and triggered other earthquakes as far away as Alaska.

The local economy is heavily dependent upon tourism, but this has been carefully managed and is restricted to fewer than 100 islands. The majority of the islands are little more than low-lying uninhabited sand bars, in danger of being swallowed by rising sea levels. The smaller islands and atolls support only scrub vegetation, while the largest ones are sizable enough to sustain pockets of lush tropical plants and trees along with bamboo, banana, and coconut palms. The island of Fuamulaku is particularly fertile with pineapples, oranges, and mangoes cultivated. Beautiful beaches such as the one on Veligandu can be found throughout the islands with coral white sand and palm trees. Most of the islands are surrounded by coral reefs, creating calm turquoise lagoons, which remain warm all year."

"text": "\"Coral Reef Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: Mika Specta Coral reefs are not only spectacular marine environments, but they are one of the oldest ecosystems (community of plants and animals interacting with their environment) on Earth. They are created by colonies of organisms called coral polyps (pronounced PAH-lips). Among biological organisms, only humans have the ability to alter the surface of the planet more than these tiny marine creatures. Over thousands to millions of years, they may form massive structures of limestone that alter the shoreline of continents. Although coral reefs cover 0.2 percent of the total area of the oceans, they are critically important for a diversity of marine species. They provide a habitat for at least 25 percent of all marine animals, including sponges, more than 4,000 different species of fish, anemones, sea stars, crabs and other crustaceans, and clams and other mollusks. Home to so many different species, coral reefs are often referred to as the \"\"rainforests of the oceans.\"\" They also provide physical barriers to the force of strong waves, protecting beaches, lagoons, and other coastal features lying behind them. Yet they are highly vulnerable to pollution, an increase in water temperature, and damage from tourism and coastal development. By the early twenty-first century, these threats had already claimed more than one-quarter of the world's coral."

You don't get anywhere by not \"\"wasting\"\" time – something, unfortunately, which the parents of teenagers tend frequently to forget. He was in Pavia. He had joined his family having abandoned his studies in Germany, unable to endure the rigours of his high school there. It was the beginning of the 20th century, and in Italy the beginning of its industrial revolution. His father, an engineer, was installing the first electrical power plants in the Paduan plains. Albert was reading Kant and attending occasional lectures at the University of Pavia – for pleasure, without being registered there or having to think about exams. It is thus that serious scientists are made. After this, he registered at the University of Zurich, and immersed himself in the study of physics. A few years later, in 1905, he sent three articles to the most prestigious scientific journal of the period, the Annalen der Physik."

Only around 200 of the islands are inhabited – 44 of these occupied solely by luxury holiday resorts. Being equatorial, daylight hours vary little in the islands all year round, with dawn arriving around 6am and night falling at 6pm. There are only two seasons in the Madives – dry and wet. The rainy season, running from the end of April, through May, June, July, August and September up until the end of October, can bring heavy, south-westerly monsoon rains, occasional strong winds and storms. During November and December the winds shift to the northeast, bringing drier, less humid conditions which last through January and February into March. This sounds like a great deal of rain, but the rainfall is evenly distributed across the year and usually comes in short, torrential bursts. During the wetter months the Maldives still enjoy an average four hours a day of sunshine, and up to nine hours in the dry season. Temperature-wise the equatorial heat is tempered on the Maldives by the surrounding ocean, which provides some cool sea breezes. The temperature ranges between a pleasant 24 °C and rather steamier 33 °C all through the year, feeling warmer at times because humidity can be high, particularly in the wet season."

"text": "Storytelling Six More Character Archetypes to Ditch August 15th, 2015 by Oren Ashkenazi Bad characters abound in our media, threatening to overwhelm our bastions of good storytelling. Or at least that’s how it can seem when you turn on the TV or flip through a random book. Many of these characters come from flawed archetypes that writers use thoughtlessly; these aren’t good ideas done poorly but bad ideas to start with, and our stories would be better without them. We’ve touched on this issue before at Mythcreants but barely scratched the surface. With so many bad archetypes and so little time, let’s jump right in.1. The Overpowered Savant In Angel, Fred is so smart, she knows how to defeat an enemy before the other characters have even identified it. Unfortunately, she’s been through so much trauma that she’s not stable. The team can’t count on her smarts in a crisis. Fred eventually works through her issues and learns to control herself, but once she does, her godlike intelligence is nowhere to be seen. In Heroes, Hiro Nakamura has the incredible power to manipulate space and time."

William Gibson Gibson promoting the French release of Spook Country in Paris, March 17, 2008Born William Ford Gibson March 17, 1948 (age 70) [1]Conway, South Carolina, U. S. Occupation Novelist Nationality American, Canadian Period 1977–present Genre Speculative fiction, science fiction Literary movement Cyberpunk, steampunk, postcyberpunk Notable works Neuromancer (novel, 1984)Notable awards Nebula, Hugo, Philip K. Dick, Ditmar, Seiun (all 1985); Prix Aurora (1995) [2]Websitewilliamgibsonbooks .com William Ford Gibson (born March 17, 1948) is a Canadian-American speculative fiction writer and essayist widely credited with pioneering the science fiction subgenre known as cyberpunk. Beginning his writing career in the late 1970s, his early works were noir, near-future stories that explored the effects of technology, cybernetics, and computer networks on humans—a \"\"combination of lowlife and high tech \"\" [19] —and helped to create an iconography for the information age before the ubiquity of the Internet in the 1990s. [ 20] Gibson notably coined the term \"\" cyberspace \"\" in his short story \"\" Burning Chrome \"\" (1982) and later popularized the concept in his acclaimed debut novel Neuromancer (1984). These early works have been credited with \"\"renovating\"\" science fiction literature after it had fallen largely into insignificance in the 1970s. [ 21]After expanding on Neuromancer with two more novels to complete the dystopic Sprawl trilogy, Gibson collaborated with Bruce Sterling on the alternate history novel The Difference Engine (1990), which became an important work of the science fiction subgenre steampunk. In the 1990s, Gibson composed the Bridge trilogy of novels, which explored the sociological developments of near-future urban environments, postindustrial society, and late capitalism. Following the turn of the century and the events of 9/11, Gibson emerged with a string of increasingly realist novels— Pattern Recognition (2003), Spook Country (2007), and Zero History (2010)—set in a roughly contemporary world. These works saw his name reach mainstream bestseller lists for the first time. His more recent novel, The Peripheral (2014), returned to a more overt engagement with technology and recognizable science fiction concerns."

"text": "HR Magazine Managing the Matrix Effective use of complex organizational structures requires significant assistance from HR professionals. By Eric Krell Apr 1, 2011How do managers at a 15,000-employee global manufacturing company thrive within the matrix?“It requires constant education,” says Lucinda Smith, GPHR, senior vice president for human resources of AGCO Corp., a global manufacturer of agricultural equipment based in Duluth, Ga. It helps when your chief executive officer has authored a management book that promotes the benefits, and acknowledges the challenges, of matrix-style organizational structures. “Since the classical organization forms—especially the functional organizational structure—no longer satisfy modern requirements, overlapping organizational forms were developed,” AGCO CEO Martin Richenhagen writes in Simply Management (Indigo Custom Publishing, 2006). The matrixed organization develops a “double management and command structure” that provides greater visibility, stronger governance and more control in large, complex companies. A dual-reporting relationship is the defining characteristic of the matrix that AGCO’s 450 global managers work within. Dual reporting differentiates the matrix-style structures from the traditional hierarchical structures they are replacing at many companies across all industries. Executives interested in reaping the benefits of matrix-style structures need significant assistance from their human resource professionals to ensure that the approach is suitable to the organization, properly implemented and monitored on an ongoing basis. HR leaders have strong ties to many of the levers that make or break the matrix structure, says Carol Cooley, SPHR, vice president of human resources for Total Community Options, a Denver-based health care assisted-living services company. Those levers include recruiting, training, leadership development and performance management, notes Cooley, a member of the Society for Human Resource Management’s Organizational Development Special Expertise Panel. She previously worked for Wellpoint, a matrixed Fortune 50 health care company."

Open Document Comparing or Contrasting Two Items There are two basic formats to Comparing or Contrasting two items. If one were to compare apples and oranges, for example, we would consider the fruits the items, and qualities such as flavor, color, texture, \"\"juicability\"\" and the like as the aspects. Both are designed to evaluate the relative merits of two items so that the reader may come to some sort of conclusion. The writer's goal is to be as complete and fair as necessary; in other words, no important information should be omitted, especially any that would be likely to skew the overall picture from one side to another. Also, the writer must compare the same or similar aspects of the two items. One cannot fairly compare apples to oranges by merely comparing the oranges in juice form to the apples in sauce form. It would be fair, however, to include a discussion of the superior nutritive value of orange juice over that of apple juice. One could also discuss the \"\"unsaucability\"\" of oranges and compare it to the popularity of apple sauce. The purpose is to appear as unbiased as possible; if your favorite item is superior, then let it stand on its own merits. The first style is side by side."

What happened to Neo was that he realized something the Oracle had tried to explain to him. The Oracle had said, 'Everything that has a beginning has an end'. This has everything to do with what happend to him. Neo realized that, as the Oracle had again explained to him, Agent Smith was Neo's 'opposite'.

Whether they will make changes is a different matter. In general, the ticket is deemed to be 'owned' by whoever booked it - generally either the airline itself, or a 3rd party travel agency. That party is the one that has been paid to issue the ticket, and is generally responsible for making any changes at least up until the start of the first flight. So in general, any changes - at least before the start of travel - will need to be made by Expedia. Some airlines do give you the option for them to \"\"take over\"\" the ticket so that they can make changes, however (at least in the US) they will generally charge you for doing this. eg, the United Airlines Contract of Carriage states : UA will assess a 50.00 USD/50.00 CAD fee to assist with a voluntary change on tickets originally issued via any external ticketing source (travel agency, internet agency, other airline, etc.). The fee is non-refundable and applies in addition to all applicable charges. American Airlines call it a \"\" External Reservation Handling Charge \"\", along with a US$25-35 fee."

She has also won the Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize, the Ambassador Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award. In 2012 she was awarded The Sunday Times Award for Literary Excellence. [ 1] She is recognized for her fully developed characters, her “brilliantly imagined and absolutely accurate detail,” [2] and her “rigorous and artful style” and “astute and open language.” [ 3] While many of her characters have been described as quirky or eccentric, she has managed to make them seem real through skillfully fleshing out their inner lives in great depth. Her subject in all her novels has been the American family and marriage: the boredom and exasperating irritants endured by partners, children, siblings, parents; the desire for freedom pulling against the tethers of attachments and conflicted love; the evolution over time of familial love and sense of duty. Tyler celebrates unremarkable Americans and the ordinary details of their everyday lives. Because of her style and subject matter, she has been compared to John Updike, to Jane Austen, and to Eudora Welty, among others."

"text": "\"Agent Smith is the main antagonist of the Matrix Trilogy, and is portrayed in all three films by Hugo Weaving. Initially conceived as a \"\"starter villain\"\" by the Wachowskis', Smith was merely the first of many threats to be faced by Neo and his friends. However, Hugo Weaving's performance of Smith became so iconic, the writer/directors decided to upgrade him to the role of primary antagonist for the remainder of the series. In \"\"The Matrix\"\", Agent Smith is the de facto leader of the \"\"Agents\"\", a program designed by the Matrix to cleanse the system of any undesirable material and/or resistance. Smith's role in the film is to track down the leader of said resistance, Morpheus, and retrieve vital information the controlling machines need to destroy the rebel fighters, more specifically the location of their home city, Zion. Smith appears to behave as robotic and subservient as the other \"\"agents\"\", until he confesses, mid-interrogation, to Morpheus that he has grown to \"\"hate\"\" the Matrix and all its inhabitants, and thusly feels an urge, border lining on psychotic, to \"\"leave\"\" the Matrix once his task is completed. Neo, the prophecised hero of the rebel movement, confronts Smith after Morpheus is rescued. Smith seemingly executes Neo by shooting him at point blank range, but Neo persists. He invades Smith's program and destroys him from within, essentially deleting his program. In \"\"The Matrix Reloaded\"\", Smith returns, claiming that Neo's deletion of him in effect \"\"freed\"\" him from the machines' control."

"text": "The Five Key Turning Points Of All Successful Movie Scripts By Michael Hauge Share |Hollywood movies are simple. Though writing a successful Hollywood movie is certainly not easy, the stories for mainstream Hollywood films are all built on only three basic components: character, desire and conflict. All film stories portray a hero who faces seemingly insurmountable obstacles as he or she pursues a compelling objective. Whether it's Clarice Starling trying to stop Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs, Captain Miller Saving Private Ryan, or Billy Elliott trying to gain admission to a ballet school, all these protagonists confront overwhelming conflict in their pursuit of some visible goal. Plot structure simply determines the sequence of events that lead the hero toward this objective. And whether you're writing romantic comedies, suspense thrillers, historical dramas or big budget science fiction, all successful Hollywood movies follow the same basic structure. In a properly structured movie, the story consists of six basic stages, which are defined by five key turning points in the plot. Not only are these turning points always the same; they always occupy the same positions in the story. So what happens at the 25% point of a 90-miniute comedy will be identical to what happens at the same percentage of a three-hour epic. These percentages apply both to the running time of the film and the pages of your screenplay."

Martin began his career at age 12 with the all-boy pop group Menudo. After five years with the group, he released several Spanish-language solo albums throughout the 1990s. He also acted on stage and on TV in Mexico, where he achieved modest stardom. In 1994, he appeared on the US TV soap opera General Hospital, playing a Puerto Rican singer. In early 1999, after releasing several albums in Spanish, Martin performed \"\" The Cup of Life \"\" at the 41st Annual Grammy Awards show, which became a catalyst in bringing Latin pop to the forefront of the U. S. music scene. [ 1] Following its success, Martin released \"\" Livin' la Vida Loca \"\", which helped him attain enormous success worldwide; it is generally seen as the song that began the Latin pop explosion of 1999 and made the transition easier for other Spanish-speaking artists to move into the English-speaking market. Since its release, the song has sold over 8 million copies, making it one of the best selling singles of all time. ["

Things Have Changed Since The Cameras Stopped Rolling By Alexis Rhiannon Feb 1 2016Charley Gallay/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images By now, I'm sure we've all noticed that everyone's favorite reality TV show doesn't have the highest record for getting couples together that stay together, but what about after the show? Who are the former Bachelor stars dating now? After all, it's not like the cameras go off and After The Final Rose airs, and, if you haven't found love yet, you disappear into a puff of smoke! Sure, the majority of the viewing public goes from intensely interested in your relationship and all of your choices to largely losing interest when and if things don't work out, but we're not the majority. I personally am still very interested in where people end up once the microphones are off and the roses are no longer on the table. So let's find out, shall we? I don't need no stinking camera crew to tell me who my favorite Bachelor and Bachelorette stars are dating now. I wait for no reunions or televised weddings. Instead, I roll up my sleeves, pull out my pop culture magnifying glass, and get to the bottom of this myself."

"text": "Previous Post Next Post Ben Eldridge Retires from Seldom Scene Posted on January 15, 2016 by David Morris Nothing lasts forever, but Ben Eldridge’s 44-plus years with the Seldom Scene seemed to come close. His long run with the legendary bluegrass band came to an official end this morning, when remaining members announced his retirement and the addition of Rickie Simpkins to the lineup. But in reality, his decision was months in the making, a matter of if, not when, as back problems and issues with his left hand took their toll and kept him from performing regularly with the band that started out in his living room in 1971.“It was a very hard decision to make, but I’ve been wanting to stop for a while,” Eldridge told me. “ I’m 77, I don’t like traveling much anymore, and I’m not playing that well. My left hand is going south on me. ”Eldridge, the last original member of the band, is in IBMA’s Hall of Fame along with other founding members of the Scene. He shared his decision with band mates Lou Reid, Dudley Connell, Fred Travers and Ronnie Simpkins – Rickie’s brother – at a show last weekend in Virginia, where he visited with the band. His final performance was New Year’s Eve at the Birchmere Music Hall in the Washington suburbs, joining the band on stage at the end of the night. “It’s the end of an era,” Travers said. “ We’ll miss Ben immensely."

"text": "\"Arab, Alabama Keith & Kathy Thibodeaux It was a cool fall evening in 1997 when I made a trip to the Birmingham Civic Center to see one of my childhood idols; a guy who had been my role model in my younger days. He was one of five cast members from a super-popular 1960s television sitcom who were making a public appearance together. Perhaps you remember the television program - \"\"The Andy Griffith Show\"\" (TAGS). No, it wasn't only Don Knotts (Barney Fife), Betty Lynn (Thelma Lou), Elinor Donahue (Miss Ellie), or Maggie Peterson (Charlene Darling) that I was there to see. I certainly enjoyed meeting all of those excellent performers, but it was a young actor who made only a dozen or so appearances on TAGS that I really wanted to meet. He portrayed one of Opie's (Ron Howard) friends, Johnny Paul Jason, on the show. But that wasn't the character the youngster played in which he became my idol. Instead, it was his portrayal of Little Ricky on \"\"I Love Lucy\"\" that caught my attention. I often thought how fun it must have been to be Little Ricky. He was famous, his parents were famous, he wore spiffy clothes, he played the drums, and he had the neatest toys that I had ever seen."

Read Full Biography Overview Biography Discography Songs Credits Awards Related Share this pagefacebook twitter google+Artist Biography by Richie Unterberger Rick Nelson was one of the very biggest of the '50s teen idols, so it took awhile for him to attain the same level of critical respectability as other early rock greats. Yet now the consensus is that he made some of the finest pop/rock recordings of his era. Sure, he had more promotional push than any other rock musician of the '50s; no, he wasn't the greatest singer; and yes, Elvis, Gene Vincent, Carl Perkins, and others rocked harder. But Nelson was extraordinarily consistent during the first five years of his recording career, crafting pleasant pop-rockabilly hybrids with ace session players and projecting an archetype of the sensitive, reticent young adult with his accomplished vocals. He also played a somewhat underestimated role in rock & roll's absorption into mainstream America -- how bad could rock be if it was featured on one of America's favorite family situation comedies on a weekly basis? Nelson entered professional entertainment before his tenth birthday, when he appeared with father Ozzie (once a jazz musician), mother Harriet, and brother David on a radio comedy series based around the family. By the early '50s, the series was on television, and Ricky grew into a teenager in public. He was just the right age to have his life turned around by rock & roll in 1956 and started his recording career almost accidentally the following year. The story's sometimes been told that he had no professional singing ambitions until he recorded his debut single to impress a girlfriend."

The boys began performing together in 1997, with Joe “Blue” Smith taking the role of manager and taskmaster. ( Early reports said that Joe Smith is the father of all four, though only Spectacular and Baby Blue have the same mother. As of 2018, Wikipedia suggested that only Baby Blue and Spectacular are brothers, with Slick ‘Em as a cousin and Pleasure P as a “family friend. ”)In 2004, Pretty Ricky’s single “Grind On Me” began to get heavy airplay on Miami radio, which lead to a deal with Atlantic Records and national exposure. The band specialized in synthesizer-heavy R&B with lyrics that were heavily romantic and often raunchy; “Grind With Me,” a sanitized version of their hit single, powered their debut album Bluestars. In 2005 the band toured with Omarion and other pop-friendly R&B acts in the Scream Tour IV concert series. Their second release, Late Night Special (2007), debuted at #1 on Billboard’s album sales chart, and included the hit singles “On the Hotline” and “ (I Wanna See You) Push It, Baby. ”Pleasure P left the band in 2007. Pretty Ricky used a succession of lead singers, including vocalists 4Play, Lingerie and J. Long, before Pleasure P returned to the band in 2015. The group’s later albums include Eighties Babies (2008, previewed but never formally released) and the extra-naughty Pretty Ricky (2009, with the single “Tipsy In Dis Club”)."

Their clean, smooth style alternately embraces sincere piety, romance, and the joyful, sometimes comic pleasures of a simpler bygone era. Moreover, they have opened doors for such secular acts as the Statler Brothers and the Oak Ridge Boys. The Jordanaires, however, have made their biggest mark as Nashville’s preeminent backing vocalists, singing on literally thousands of recording sessions, including those of Elvis Presley, Ricky Nelson, Patsy Cline, Jim Reeves, George Jones, and the Judds. They made rock ‘n’ roll and country music palatable to pop music audiences, and introduced some innovative studio practices along the way. Formed in Springfield, Missouri, in 1948, the very first lineup of the Jordanaires—Bob Hubbard, brothers Bill and Monty Matthews, and Cully Holt—patterned their early style after the Golden Gate Quartet. Yet, despite the biblical allusion in their name, the Jordanaires sang more than gospel music. Although sacred themes dominated their early recordings for RCA and Decca, old-time barbershop tunes were a popular feature of their live performances.

Ricky is a Gemini, so even though his actual birthdate isn't ever given, it is possible to narrow down the possibilities of what month his birthday is in. Ricky is very close to his Uncle Alberto, and it's possible that one of Ricky's middle names was chosen to honor this uncle. Not much is known about his childhood in Cuba, but he often talks about it fondly. He was raised on a Cuban cigar farm."

"text": "\"Difference Between Musket and Rifle Posted on August 4, 2014 by admin Musket vs Rifle Musket and rifle are the names of two different types of firearms that confuse people because of their similarities. Muskets were used earlier than rifles and were slowly replaced by rifles as rifles could shoot more accurately. There are many more differences between a musket and a rifle that will be discussed in this article. What is a Musket? Musket was a firearm that was used by the infantry during wars in the 18th and 19th century. While arquebus was the predecessor of musket, the musket was later replaced by a more advanced firearm called rifle. Musket was not only lighter than arquebus, it also had a bayonet making it much better weapon for the troops especially during close encounters. Muskets were in use in armies around the world even in the 16th century though they were hefty. This firearm evolved over a long period of 300 years and was most popular during the 19th century. Muskets had to be loaded from the end of their barrels and the soldier had to tear apart a packet containing powder and the shot."

By that logic the internet, telephones, television, the telegraph, blogging, radio, and so forth aren't covered under the concepts of free speech and free press. But they are. And the idea that as means of communications and news dissimination improved the concepts of \"\"speech\"\" and \"\"press\"\" still applied to them is pretty well accepted. And frankly there's a much greater difference between a newspaper and the internet then there is between a musket and an AR-15."

"text": "\"The Death of Magellan, 1521Printer Friendly Version >>>B orn in Portugal, Ferdinand Magellan took part in a number of Portuguese expeditions exploring and conquering the East Indies during the early 1500s. By 1517, however, he found himself out of favor with King Emanuel and shifted his allegiance to King Charles I of Spain. The Spanish king accepted Magellan's proposal to lead a voyage westward to the riches of the Spice Islands of present-day Indonesia. Magellan, from a contemporary painting On September 20, 1520, Magellan led a flotilla of five ships with a crew of 250 out of the Spanish port of Sancar de Barrameda. Their goal was to find a water passage around the Americas and continue on to the East Indies. This was a true journey into the unknown - equivalent in adventurous risk to the twentieth century landing on the moon. Contemporary wisdom had no knowledge of what lay beyond the shores of South America and assumed it was a short distance across the Pacific Ocean to the Spice Islands. The journey was long and arduous, punctuated by starvation, disease, mutiny and desertion. Magellan didn't live to reach his goal - he lost his life while battling natives on an island in the Philippines. Reduced to two ships, the remainder of his crew pressed on with their mission, successfully reaching the Moluccas - the Spice Islands."

Though the muzzle-loading percussion cap rifle was the most numerous weapon, being standard-issue for both the Union and Confederate armies, many other firearms, ranging from the single shot breech-loading Sharps and Burnside rifles to the Spencer and the Henry rifles, two of the world's first repeating rifles, were issued by the hundreds of thousands, mostly by the Union.

The flintlock, which had been in use for over two hundred years, had been replaced by the caplock in the 1840s. Muzzle-loading rifles had been in use for many years but prior to the Civil War had been very rare in military use. The black powder at the time quickly fouled the barrel, making reloading slower and more difficult since the balls had to be patched and matched closely to the bore size for rifles. Loads used for smoothbore muskets did not need to fit as tightly or be pushed past rifling grooves in the barrel and, therefore, did not suffer from the slow loading problem common to rifles."

"text": "Home Daily Military History Revolutionary War Weapons: The American Long Rifle Military History Revolutionary War Weapons: The American Long Rifle• November 11, 2015Add Comment Email This Post Print This Post The American long rifle was a legendarily accurate weapon in the hands of dead-eye frontier marksmen during the Revolutionary War. By David Alan Johnson By the mid-1700’s, the American long rifle had acquired an almost supernatural reputation. To the British troops who were unfortunate enough to come up against it in combat during the Revolutionary War, the rifle was more an affliction than a weapon. And the men who used it against them seemed to have a demonic talent for shooting—they never seemed to miss. Evolution of the American Long Rifle The ancestor of the weapon used during the war was brought to William Penn’s colony in North America by German and Swiss immigrants. The original rifles were fairly heavy and of very large caliber, ranging from .45- to .60-caliber. As they were taken to other colonies, including the backwoods of Virginia and Kentucky, the old country rifle evolved into something lighter and smaller, between .40- and .45-caliber. This new hybrid was easier to carry in the field and used less powder than its more cumbersome ancestor. By about 1750, the rifle that had been developed was light and deadly accurate. It was long—between five and six feet in length—but graceful and well-balanced."

Neumann As galloping express riders and ringing church bells spread across New England during the early hours of April 19, 1775, thousands of farmers and tradesmen carrying a variety of firearms poured out of their homes and headed toward Lexington and Concord to intercept the British Army column approaching from Boston. America’s War for Independence had begun. Yet, despite their deeply held convictions, these provincials had no realistic chance to win. “3rd Pennsylvania Regiment, 1777”In opposition against the finest army and navy in the world, the Colonists possessed no trained armed forces, no established central government, no financial reserves and no industry to supply their effort. The Northern American Colonies had been settled to enrich the mother country by exporting raw materials to England’s factories and then serve as a market for their finished goods. Thus, the manufacturing facilities, such as those needed to produce arms and support a war, did not exist this side of the Atlantic. As a young society gripped in a pioneering spirit, however, the rebels possessed an explosive vitality and ability to innovate. How they defied the impossible and drew upon this “new world energy” to successfully equip their spawning armies is one of the untold stories of our incredible path to freedom. Militia Organizations: In the beginning, the only existing American military groups were the individual militia systems of each colony."

"text": "Hobby Lark » Tabletop Gaming » Pathfinder A Guide to the Musket Master Gunslinger (Pathfinder)Updated on June 7, 2016kcmorris more Kevin has been playing tabletop games for almost as long as he can remember and currently edits for Jon Brazer Enterprises. Contact Author We are a nation founded on gunslinging, clearly. The Overview Pathfinder’s latest base class, the gunslinger, brings with It a truckload of different firearms, and they’re tailor-made to use them. Due to the necessity of the Rapid Reload feat for gunslingers to function properly, just about every gunslinger’s going to be specialized in a particular type of firearm, and luckily, there’s an archetype for each of the two primary types: the musket master and the pistolero ( Ultimate Combat 50-51). Both of these archetypes offer some very nice benefits, and most gunslingers will probably want to take one of the two of them. This guide’s going to take a look at the musket master, which happens to be the main way to make a gunslinger with a two-handed firearm viable (if you’re not using advanced firearms). Unlike the standard gunslinger, musket masters are only proficient with two-handed firearms; they have to take Exotic Weapon Proficiency (firearms) to gain one-handed firearm proficiency and to be able to use firearm siege weapons. As part of this, a musket master has to choose a musket as his battered firearm at 1st level, but that shouldn’t surprise you, given the archetype’s name. The musket master swaps out two deeds (gunslinger’s dodge and utility shot) to gain steady aim and fast musket. As long as the gunslinger has 1 grit, steady aim lets him take a move action to extend his firearm’s range increment by 10 feet, letting him target touch Armor Class with his shots a bit farther out than normal."

"text": "The First Battle Of The Civil War – Philippi *facebook twitter linkedin pinterest print By Gerald D. Swick 3/14/2011 • America's Civil War*Note on Philippi, the Civil War’s First Battle Inland: Many people ask, “What was the first battle of the Civil War?” The answers that are often given are ‘The Battle Of First Bull Run’ or ‘Fort Sumter.’ Chronologically, Fort Sumpter was the first battle, but it consisted of only a bombardment. And though the battle of First Bull Run was the first major battle of the civil war, the battle of Philippi, which took place over a month earlier, still involved almost 4,000 soldiers, and therefore can arguably be considered the first battle of the American Civil War. An Omen at Philippi Flaws in the Confederate strategy were evident in the Civil War’s first brief land battle On the night of June 2, 1861, and into the early hours of the next morning, thunderstorms lashed the mountains of northwestern Virginia and drenched the little town of Philippi—named not for the Macedonian city of antiquity, but for Philip Pendleton Barbour—a former Supreme Court justice and states’ rights advocate. Some maps showed it as Phillipa. Flashes of lightning reflected off the Tygart River, the town’s western boundary, illuminating a covered bridge spanning its steep banks, and a handful of tents pitched nearby. Rain drummed on wagons loaded with supplies and accoutrements of war in the streets. About 800 Confederate volunteers were encamped among the community’s 300 or so residents, but they would be leaving soon. Their commander knew thousands of Federal troops planned to attack, and his untrained warriors lacked adequate weapons or ammunition."

This is an editorially independent series sponsored by Tactical Firearms Training Secrets.—While people on both sides of the Second Amendment debate are consumed by the contemporary legalities surrounding guns, few have taken the time to pause and consider the unique history of firearms — a robust and colorful timeline that dates back centuries. Regardless of where one stands on the legislative front, it’s hard not to appreciate the unique developments that have been ingrained in the protection and progression of our society. Firearms have been around for quite some time. Believe it or not, guns were being used as early as 1364. Obviously, the weaponry being employed in early days is nothing like what we have today, but understanding this expansive history offers a fascinating lens into the past. From primitive guns to modern-day automatic weapons, the evolution is noteworthy. Medieval hand cannon from around 1350 (Photo Credit: National Firearms Museum)THE WORLD’S FIRST GUNSIt was in 1364 that mankind first recorded the use of a firearm.

"text": "\"Minie Ball Facts, information and articles about the Minié Ball, a Civil War bullet Minie Ball summary: The Minié ball, or Minie ball, is a type of bullet used extensively in the American Civil War. The muzzle-loading rifle bullet was named after its co-developer, Claude-Étienne Minié. Although the Minié ball was conical in shape, it was commonly referred to as a \"\"ball,\"\" due to the round shape of the ammunition that had been used for centuries. Made of soft lead, it was slightly smaller than the intended gun bore, making it easy to load in combat. Designed with two to four grooves and a cone-shaped cavity, it was made to expand under the pressure to increase muzzle velocity. When fired, the expanding gas deformed the bullet and engaged the barrel’s rifling, providing spin for better accuracy and longer range. Its design dramatically increased both range and accuracy, which has long been accepted as the reason for the high number of casualties in the Civil War, although some historians today are questioning that because accuracy also depends on the soldier who pulls the trigger and throughout the Civil War, when target practice was minimal, the combatants tended to aim too high. History of the Minie´ ball Prior to the development of this new ammunition and weapons designed to use it, \"\"rifles\"\" were essentially smoothbore muskets with much longer barrels, such as the famed Pennsylvania or Kentucky rifle of the Revolutionary War and War of 1812. They were cumbersome, slow to load, and couldn’t be used with a bayonet, all of which limited their use to a few special units. Some muskets were created with a type of rifling, but the problem of providing a tight enough fit for the load within the barrel did not permit the true rifling that would come as a result of the Minie´ ball."

[ 1] The agreement is considered by the Haudenosaunee to be the basis of all of their subsequent treaties with European and North American governments, and the citizens of those nations, including the Covenant Chain treaty with the British in 1677 and the Treaty of Canandaigua with the United States in 1794. The treaty is spiritually and culturally revered and widely accepted among the Indigenous peoples in the relevant territories, and documented by the wampum belts and oral tradition.

The following summary is presented as an introduction to clarify and amplify statements in the following sections on the development and use of coin substitutes in New Netherland. The Dutch in America: From Discovery to the First Settlement, 1609-1621In 1602 the States General of the United Provinces, known as the Netherlands, chartered the United East India Company (the Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie, called the VOC) with the mission of exploring for a passage to the Indies and claiming any [unchartered?] territories for the United Provinces. On September 3, 1609, the English explorer Henry Hudson, on behalf of the United East India Company, entered the area now known as New York in an attempt to find a northwest passage to the Indies. He searched every costal inlet and on September 12th took his ship, the Halve Maen (Half Moon), up the river which now bears his name, as far as Albany and claimed the land for his employer. Although no passage was discovered the area turned out to be one of the best fur-trading regions in North America. As early as 1611 the Dutch merchant Arnout Vogels set sail in the ship St. Pieter for what was probably the first Dutch trading expedition to the Hudson Bay. This secretive mission was so successful in 1612 Vogels chartered the ship Fortuyn which made two, back-to-back trips to the area. The initial trip of the Fortuyn was under the command of Captain Adriaen Block."

We all know that Dutch women don’t get depressed. They also have the happiest kids in the world. Who wouldn’t want to be friends with these tall gorgeous happy blonde beauties with flawless biking skills? A common complaint among fellow expats is how difficult it is for them to actually make friends with Dutch people. Expat forums are filled with questions and concerns on just how to infiltrate the local Dutch circles. Sometimes expat women spend their entire stay in the Netherlands not having any real Dutch female friends. Being a seasoned expat for the past 6 years now, I’ve gained some valuable insight on how to establish real, genuine friendships with these wonderful women. I’ve also learned a thing ( or two or more) actually about how not to make friends with them. Some of the mistakes I made are long-lasting and quite irreparable."

Some are wearing bold red lipstick, some boast short skirts, and a brave few are even topless, exposing their breasts proudly with conviction and defiance. Welcome to Amsterdam’s first Slutwalk. On June 4, this march was coordinated by feminists around the world to protest the idea that women can be blamed for being raped because of the way they dress. Slutwalk affirms the right of women to wear what they want to, regardless of having to fear social and physical rebuke. While the group of participants was certainly diverse, one face was missing from the crowd. Where were the women in headscarves? In many ways, the Slutwalk symbolizes the current direction of the feminist movement in Western countries like the Netherlands. During the past few years, feminists have been advocating for sex-positivity: an ideology which promotes open discussion about sexual activity, and encourages sexual pleasure and experimentation; especially for women whose sexual pleasure and agency have historically been denied. The absence of women in hijabs or niqabs at this event is particularly salient, as it reflects the broader tensions that have propagated between immigrant Muslim women and white (secular) feminists in the Netherlands."

The following summaries are presented to clarify statements in the various sections of this site that mention events concerning the Dutch; below are capsule histories (a) on the formation of the states of Belgium and the Netherlands and (b) the development of the province of New Netherland in America. The Division of Belgium and the Netherlands For the most part the cities and provinces in the area known as the Low Countries developed independently from the Ninth through the mid Fourteenth centuries. From 1363-1472 the area was gradually assimilated by four generations of the Dukes of Burgundy from Philip the Bold to Charles the Bold. Eventually the lands passed by marriage to the Hapsburg Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V. Upon Charles's abdication in 1556 the lands reverted to his son Philip II of Spain. Philip then sent his sister Margaret of Parma to rule the area. The Calvinist Dutch in the northern provinces especially disliked the Spanish Catholics. They feared the Inquisition would be brought to the Netherlands, and that personal and economic as well as religious freedom would be lost, so they revolted. Philip then sent Ferdinand Alverez, the Duke of Alba to bring order to the area."

[ 1]It was initially a trade-based entity which derived most of its influence from merchant enterprise and Dutch control of international maritime shipping routes through strategically placed outposts, rather than expansive territorial ventures. [ 2] [1] With a few exceptions, the majority of the Dutch Empire's overseas holdings consisted of coastal forts, factories, and port settlements with varying degrees of incorporation of their hinterlands and surrounding regions. [ 2] Dutch chartered companies often dictated that their possessions be kept as confined as possible to avoid unnecessary expense, [3] and while some such as the Dutch Cape Colony (modern South Africa) and Dutch East Indies (today's Indonesia) expanded anyway due to the pressure of independently minded Dutch colonists, others remained undeveloped, isolated trading centres dependent on an indigenous host nation. [ 2] This was reflective of the fact that the primary network of the Dutch Empire was commercial exchange as opposed to sovereignty over a homogeneous landmass. [ 2]The imperial ambitions of the Dutch were bolstered by the strength of their existing shipping industry, as well as the key role they played in the expansion of maritime trade between Europe and the Orient. [ 4] Because small European trading companies often lacked the capital or the manpower for large scale operations, the States General chartered the Dutch West India Company and the Dutch East India Company in the early seventeenth century.

However, the question arises whether and to what extent recent international developments in taxation, such as the changes to the EU Parent-Subsidiary Directive and the OECD BEPS-project, will have impact on its scope and functioning. CEN v CIN and aggressive planning In dealing with cross-border activities, from a tax perspective a country can choose either a Capital Export Neutrality (CEN) approach or a Capital Import Neutrality (CIN) approach. Under a CEN approach, the home country levies tax on the total world income, irrespectively of where the income has actually been realised. A credit is granted for any foreign tax levied. The CEN approach is based on the idea that domestic and foreign investments of the resident taxpayer should not be treated differently. In general, a CEN approach is favoured by countries with a large and/or closed domestic market, such as the US."

To liberate Nazi occupied Europe, the Allies (including Britain, Canada, United States) executed Operation Overlord. This is also known as the D-Day Normandy landings, which was the largest amphibious invasion in history. All of the Allied countries collaborated with each other and pooled their resources together in order to ensure there were enough resources to mount a cross channel invasion. Mark Zuehlke, author of Juno Beach: Canada's D-Day Victory, June 6th 1944, argues that \"\"the Western Allies were gambling that they could win and hold a beachhead in France from which they could drive to the Rhineland and into Germany's heart - the most direct route to bring the war to a rapid conclusion. [ 1] \"\" D-Day was a \"\"winner take all\"\" operation that was imperative to defeating Nazi Germany. [ 1] Canada was in charge of storming Juno Beach and establishing a beachhead. Canada was successful in securing Juno Beach which enabled the constant flow of Allied troops and supplies to pour in over the coming weeks. The Allies had seen significant success freeing occupied countries since the Normandy landings. The Allies next goal was a full out offensive over the Rhine river."

While the first Dutch fort in Asia was built in 1600 (in present-day Indonesia ), the first forts and settlements on the Essequibo River in Guyana date from the 1590s. Actual colonization, with the Dutch settling in the new lands, was not as common as with other European nations. Many of the Dutch settlements were lost or abandoned by the end of the 17th century, but the Netherlands managed to retain possession of Suriname until it gained independence in 1975, as well as the Netherlands Antilles, which remain within the Kingdom of the Netherlands today.

Along the way, Dutch explorers were charged to claim any uncharted areas for the United Provinces, which led to several significant expeditions and, over time, Dutch explorers founded the province of New Netherland. By 1610, the VOC had already commissioned English explorer Henry Hudson who, in an attempt to find the so-called northwest passage to the Indies, discovered and claimed for the VOC parts of the present-day United States and Canada. Hudson entered the Upper New York Bay by sailboat, heading up the Hudson River, which now bears his name. On March 27, 1614 the States General would move away from traditional monopolistic endeavors and take a new and freer approach to exploration and commercial development of the New World; the issuance of the General Charter for Those who Discover Any New Passages, Havens, Countries, or Places stated that \"\"the said undertaking to be laudable, honorable, and serviceable for the prosperity of the United Provinces and wishing that the experiment be free and open to all and every of the inhabitants of this country, have invited and do hereby invite all and every of the inhabitants of the United Netherlands to the aforesaid search.\"\" [ 1]In 1614, Adriaen Block led an expedition to the lower Hudson River in the Tyger, and then explored the East River aboard the Onrust, becoming the first known European to navigate the Hellegat in order to gain access to Long Island Sound."

Only English speakers call us \"\"Dutch\"\" In our own language it's like this: Country: Nederland People: Nederlanders Language: Nederlands (makes sense, doesn't it?) Holland is only a part of the country, in fact it's two provinces: North-Holland and South-Holland. The capital city Amsterdam is in North-Holland, and the world's largest harbour Rotterdam is in South-Holland. So, most non-Dutch only know the name Holland, mainly from the time our ships sailed the oceans for trade and colonialism. The two provinces of Holland are at the west-coast. So, most people in the west of The Netherlands don't mind if you call the place \"\"Holland\"\". But it's not correct when meaning any of the other 12 provinces (like calling a New Yorker a \"\"Texan\"\"). The word \"\"Dutch\"\" is not based on \"\"Duits\"\" It's based on \"\"Dietsch\"\" which is the most ancient language of this area, from which Dutch, Flammisch and German languages have developed. 10 points please ;-)Source (s): Multi-langual native Dutch Endie v B · 1 decade ago11 0 Comment Asker's rating For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/axpbb When the country Nederland came into existence Holland was one of the provinces that joined the new country."

Haring ‘Hollandse Nieuwe’Haring or ‘Hollandse Nieuwe’ (Dutch new herring) is probably the most famous Dutch food. If you like fish you should at least try it once. The raw herring is served together with chopped raw onions and gherkins. Also the way of eating is a real Dutch tradition. In the Netherlands new herring is eaten by lifting up the herring by its tail into the air and then take a bite upwards. Of course you can also enjoy this Dutch delight by eating it in little pieces or on a sandwich called ‘broodje haring’. Herring can only be called ‘Hollandse Nieuwe’ if the fish is caught between May and July. Also the preparation is quite special and must be done according to the Dutch tradition. The herring is cleaned, the head is removed and it is conserved in a special way (with salt)."

"text": "Legal Forms For Doing Business in the Netherlands In the Netherlands, a business can be performed through legal entities like the Dutch BV and through non-legal entities, like a partnership. The most important difference between these two legal forms for doing business in the Netherlands relate to liability, whereas your complete wealth may be exposed to creditors of a partnership instead of the invested amount as would be the case with a BV (although exceptions exist in case of e.g. negligence by the directors). Another essential difference is that a legal entity is regarded as a “person”, i.e. it can hold the legal title of property itself, can be party in agreements et cetera. Next to Dutch legal forms, business can be conducted in the Netherlands through the usage of foreign legal forms, like the UK Ltd. Furthermore, a foreign entity can perform its business in the Netherlands through a branch or a subsidiary, for which we refer to our section branch vs. subsidiary. Below we outline the most commonly used legal forms for doing business in the Netherlands. Dutch civil law makes distinction between the following legal forms: Legal entities: BVNVCooperative SESCEFoundation Association Non-legal entities One-man business Partnership (maatschap)Partnership under common firm (VOF / Vennootschap Onder Firma)Limited partnership (CV)Foreign legal forms active in the Netherlands through e.g. a branch BVThe Dutch BV (which is an abbreviation of besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) is the most commonly used legal form by foreign investors for example for doing business, act as a holding company, IP licensing company, finance company et cetera. The BV is a private limited liability company with legal personality, of which risks are limited to the amounts invested by its shareholders. A BV’s capital is divided into one or more shares, whereas the holders are registered (in BV’s shareholders register). Since 1 October 2012 the BV regime has been made more flexible (hence its commonly used name “flex BV”). The following are some examples of changes regarding this new BV regime: The minimum capital required is no longer € 18,000, an amount of € 0.01 is sufficient BV’s capital can be divided into shares which have no voting power or profit rights attached to them, e.g. for the purpose of financiers;A bank statement and an auditor’s statement in case of contributions in kind will no longer be required;The shareholders’ meeting can be held outside the Netherlands; and Option to limit the transferability of shares;A Dutch BV is incorporated through a notarial deed before a Dutch civil-law notary and registered with the Dutch trade register (Chamber of Commerce)."

WEIRD AND VERY WONDERFUL, BUT WHAT ARE THEY? For the Vikings the haunting appearance of the northern lights was an ethereal reflection of the ghosts of virgins. Many Inuit peoples interpreted the eerie sight as walrus spirits playing with human skulls. The Native American Tlingit of Alaska believed the strange sky visions were dancing spirits of the deceased. Scientific explanations are somewhat more prosaic. The weirdly moving lights, seen variously in shades of red, green, blue, violet and (slightly disappointingly) simply as glowing white smudges, are caused by great quantities of electrically charged particles blown from the sun and attracted to the earth's magnetic poles. Hence the northern hemisphere's aurora borealis - a term roughly meaning \"\"red dawn\"\" which was coined by the 16th-century mathematician, Galileo - and the southern hemisphere's aurora australis. The earth's magnetic field shields most of the planet from these potentially cataclysmic elements but when they collide with its gases they glow - electrons passing through the gases of a neon tube light up in much the same way. The dancing of the lights and the shapes they etch out in the sky are caused by the magnetic field buckling as it is hit by high-velocity gusts of these charged particles."

But as locals here always say, “September is a Gamble. ”What do they mean by that? Mostly, it’s about the weather. And while brochures may wax poetic about how early fall can be the perfect time to visit Alaska—it can be—you should decide for yourself, based on where you’re going and what you want your Alaska experience to be. Here’s our lowdown on the ups and downs of this very interesting month in Alaska: What’s it Like? Overall, September is a time of dramatic transformation: the tundra is ablaze in color, autumn colors peak by mid-month (even earlier farther north, or in Denali) and you even have a chance of seeing the northern lights at night. You also start seeing snow on the mountains, which we locals refer to as ‘Termination Dust” (as in, the termination of summer, and the beginning of the long winter ahead). Plus, the mosquitos are gone. Really, assuming it’s not raining, September here can be divine."

"text": "The Northern Lights light-up the horizon at Yellowstone National Park. ( Ryan Buff, Share the Experience)To watch the aurora borealis feels downright otherworldly. Shimmering and swirling, somewhere between smoke and paint, this glowing colorful phenomenon, though natural, creates a surreal experience for any viewer. Your chances of viewing the Northern Lights greatly increase the more north you travel—think: Alaska, Canada and Scandinavia. However, during a year when the aurora is particularly strong, you’ve actually got a shot at seeing this magical occurrence in the northernmost states of the lower 48. And though there are no guarantees, fall is the perfect time to try, with its dark skies and warm weather. Some scientists assert that the aurora ring is most active during the equinoxes (September 20 and March 20, approximately). Because this phenomenon can be very hard to predict, use NOAA's Aurora 30-minute Forecast tool to deduce the highest likelihood of seeing the Northern Lights and help you plan your trip.

There's no simple answer to that question since Sweden has much to offer visitors any time of year. If you're on a budget, you may want to avoid the summer high season. If you like winter sports, skiing and dogsled riding are huge attractions. While it's up to the individual traveler to decide what most appeals to them, here are some suggestions for planning your trip to Sweden. Tourist Time in Sweden: Summer The most popular time of year to visit Sweden, at least as far as tourist activity goes, is mid-to-late summer. The weather is warm and pleasant and there are plenty of outdoor events and activities, including swimming at some of Sweden's beautiful beaches. This includes many clothing-optional beaches if you're feeling a little Bohemian. During the month of June, you can avoid the late-summer crowds and can experience outdoor events (like Midsummer's Eve) and activities, warm weather and the long hours of daylight known as the Midnight Sun. May and July are also good options for the visitor who likes outdoor recreation."

Seasons result from Earth's orbit around the Sun and Earth 's axial tilt relative to the ecliptic plane. [ 2] [3] In temperate and polar regions, the seasons are marked by changes in the intensity of sunlight that reaches the Earth's surface, variations of which may cause animals to undergo hibernation or to migrate, and plants to be dormant. Red and green trees in autumn (fall)During May, June, and July, the Northern Hemisphere is exposed to more direct sunlight because the hemisphere faces the Sun. The same is true of the Southern Hemisphere in November, December, and January. It is Earth's axial tilt that causes the Sun to be higher in the sky during the summer months, which increases the solar flux. However, due to seasonal lag, June, July, and August are the warmest months in the Northern Hemisphere while December, January, and February are the warmest months in the Southern Hemisphere. In temperate and subpolar regions, four calendar -based seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn or fall, and winter. Ecologists often use a six-season model for temperate climate regions: prevernal, vernal, estival, serotinal, autumnal, and hibernal."

We thought that was pretty darn amazing but then he announces to the whole restaurant that the Northern Lights were showing outside so everyone gets up, walks out on his request, puts on a warm ski suit onesie provided by the hotel, and we see the sky lit up!! That’s the first time we’d ever seen them. The wake up calls are brilliant, we had one every night. And the lights were fantastic. Very handy just being outside the hotel as you could just go to bed straight after."

That’s logical, but not the case, for Earth. Photo via Manish Mamtani Photography2016’s September equinox happens September 22: Everything you need to know. Nearly everyone enjoys the change of seasons on Earth – from winter to spring, from summer to fall. But why do our seasons change? Some assume our planet’s changing distance from the sun causes the change in the seasons. That’s logical, but not the case, for Earth. Instead, Earth has seasons because our planet’s axis of rotation is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees relative to our orbital plane – the plane of Earth’s orbit around the sun. The tilt in the axis of the Earth is called its obliquity by scientists. Autumn in New Jersey’s Pinelands, by our friend Jeanette York."

Queens of the winter flowers, Camellias are attractive evergreen shrubs that are highly prized for the beauty of their exquisite blooms, their splendid evergreen foliage and their compact shapely habit. Bursting into flower for weeks when the rest of the garden offers little, Camellias are ranked as one of the very best flowering shrubs. Following the fall-blooming camellia sasanquas, most of these winter bloomers are Japanese camellias (Camellia japonica). This pre-eminent species of the genus counts over 30 000 cultivars in a wide array of flower forms and colors. The blooms can reach 5 in. across (12 cm) and create a gorgeous floral display from late winter to spring. Slow grower, these broadleaved, evergreen shrubs enjoy a shapely habit and a handsome, glossy foliage. Generally blooming after the Japanese camellias, Camellia hybrids such as the Camellia x williamsii varieties include particularly attractive winter blooming cultivars. These hybrids result from the cross of Camellia japonica and Camellia saluenensis."

A major plus: Everything is cheaper, from flights to hotel rooms and possibly train tickets. A significant concern: the weather. Europe is generally colder sooner than the United States, and November could be chilly and wet most of the time in some locations. Fall brings the start of arts seasons across Europe, and if that is one of your prime interests, that is a plus. Crowds have all but disappeared another plus. Whether November in Europe is a good choice for you largely depends on your reasons for going and how much you are bothered by less than mild weather. What's Happening Across Europe in November Spain: This is jazz festival season, with events happening in Barcelona, Madrid, and Granada.

For an illustration of that process, see this image. Now, it's clear that apsidal precession combined with changes in orbital eccentricity will affect climate - at minimum, this changes the mean (year-averaged) Earth-Sun distance, which one would of course expect to have an effect on climate. I'm not really following how apsidal precession alone is supposed to affect climate, though. Let us suppose that the Earth's \"\"rotational parameters\"\" (e.g. axial tilt) are held constant, and that the orbit of the Earth is static except for apsidal precession (i.e. no changes in eccentricity, no orbital decay, etc.). In this case, the total insolation experienced by the Earth over the course of a year should be independent of how much the apses have precessed - indeed, an observer looking at the Sun-Earth system from above the ecliptic plane should not be able to distinguish between, say, a 5-degree precession of the apses and a 5-degree rotation of the observer in the opposite direction. Since the latter cannot affect the Earth's climate, we should neither expect the former to. Clearly, I'm making some sort of mistake here, but I'm not sure where exactly my thinking has gone wrong.

The Great White North is one of the best places in the world to admire Mother Nature's light show, sending vibrant purples, greens, reds and yellows slithering into the country's dark skies. The aurora borealis is a unique celestial display caused by charged particles from the sun interacting with the molecules and atoms in Earth's atmosphere. The result is mesmerising, brightly-colored streamers in the sky. These eight places across Canada are some of the best in the world for catching a glimpse of the ethereal northern lights.1.

"text": "Winter is best for seeing northern lights, but not for cruising. If your dream Alaska vacation involves both cruising along the state's dramatically beautiful coastline and catching a once-in-a-lifetime glimpse of the northern lights, get ready to do some research and make some difficult decisions. Unfortunately, for visitors who desire both a cruise and aurora-viewing experience in one, the limited summer cruise season in Alaska is also the time when you stand a slim-to-none chance of witnessing the lights. Pick the right cruise at the right time and you can improve your odds somewhat, but otherwise you'll have to choose the experience that matters to you most. Don't let the reality of the matter crush your Alaskan dreams. Just try to plan a return trip in another season. The Bad News The same geographic extremes that make Alaska such an appealing place for adventurous travelers are also responsible for making the northern lights such an unlikely treat for summer cruise visitors. According to the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, which offers an Alaskan aurora forecast on its website, the conditions that create the aurora borealis (attributable to magnetic fields) are present all year long, but seeing the lights requires dark, clear skies along with good fortune. Due to Alaska's northerly latitude, the requisite darkness is elusive in summer, when daylight lasts as long as 21 hours a day. The May to September cruise season coincides exactly with the least likely time of year to see the northern lights, which are generally visible from late September through April."

Degrees of latitude are parallel so the distance between each degree remains almost constant. Each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers) apart. The distance varies (due to the earth's slightly ellipsoid shape) from 68.703 miles (110.567 km) at the equator to 69.407 (111.699 km) at the poles.

The first is to map the past positions of the continents and ocean basins, and the second is to illustrate Earth’s changing geographic features through time. Mapping past continents and oceans The past positions of the continents can be determined by using six major lines of evidence: paleomagnetism, linear magnetic anomalies, hot-spot tracks, paleobiogeography, paleoclimatology, and geologic and tectonic history. Paleomagnetism By measuring the remanent magnetic field often preserved in rocks containing iron-bearing minerals, paleomagnetic analysis can determine whether a rock was magnetized near one of Earth’s poles or near the Equator. Iron-bearing minerals forming in igneous rock align themselves with Earth’s magnetic field as the molten rock cools. These minerals also align themselves when they are deposited in sediments, and they retain their orientation as they lithify into sedimentary rock."

Blue paths represent deep-water currents, while red paths represent surface currents. Thermohaline circulation Thermohaline circulation ( THC) is a part of the large-scale ocean circulation that is driven by global density gradients created by surface heat and freshwater fluxes. [ 1] [2] The adjective thermohaline derives from thermo- referring to temperature and -haline referring to salt content, factors which together determine the density of sea water. Wind -driven surface currents (such as the Gulf Stream) travel polewards from the equatorial Atlantic Ocean, cooling en route, and eventually sinking at high latitudes (forming North Atlantic Deep Water ). This dense water then flows into the ocean basins. While the bulk of it upwells in the Southern Ocean, the oldest waters (with a transit time of around 1000 years) [3] upwell in the North Pacific. [ 4] Extensive mixing therefore takes place between the ocean basins, reducing differences between them and making the Earth's oceans a global system. On their journey, the water masses transport both energy (in the form of heat) and matter (solids, dissolved substances and gases) around the globe. As such, the state of the circulation has a large impact on the climate of the Earth."

Although the sea is sometimes considered a part of the Atlantic Ocean, it is usually identified as a separate body of water. Geological evidence indicates that around 5.9 million years ago, the Mediterranean was cut off from the Atlantic and was partly or completely desiccated over a period of some 600,000 years, the Messinian salinity crisis, before being refilled by the Zanclean flood about 5.3 million years ago. It covers an approximate area of 2.5 million km 2 (965,000 sq mi), but its connection to the Atlantic (the Strait of Gibraltar) is only 14 km (8.7 mi) wide. The Strait of Gibraltar is a narrow strait that connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea and separates Gibraltar and Spain in Europe from Morocco in Africa."

"text": "\"Difference Between a Basin and a Valley Posted on December 23, 2010 by admin Last updated on: October 3, 2014Basin vs Valley There is a clear difference between a basin and a valley though there is some similarity in their shapes too. Basin and valley are different formations on the surface of the earth. According to the Oxford dictionary, a basin is “a circular or oval valley or natural depression on the earth’s surface, especially one containing water.” A valley is “a low area of land betweenhills or mountains, typically with a river or stream flowing through it.” We can give the same definition in these words as well: A river basin is the land area that is drained by a river and its tributaries. A valley is a low land surrounded by hills or mountains often having a river or stream running along the bottom. What is a Basin? Basin is derived from the Old French word bacin. Any land that descends into a river or a stream is called a basin. It is interesting to note that the surface of the land covering its highest point down to the bottom of the stream or river is taken as part of the stream’s drainage."

Digital Vision/Getty Imagesby Amanda Briney Updated March 17, 2017The Mediterranean Sea is a large sea or body of water that is located between Europe, northern Africa, and southwestern Asia. Its total area is 970,000 square miles (2,500,000 sq km) and its greatest depth is located off the coast of Greece at around 16,800 feet (5,121 m) deep. The average depth of the sea, however, is about 4,900 feet (1,500 m). The Mediterranean Sea is connected to the Atlantic Ocean via the narrow Strait of Gibraltar between Spain and Morocco . This area is only about 14 miles (22 km) wide. The Mediterranean Sea is known for being an important historic trade and a strong factor in the development of the region around it. History of the Mediterranean Sea The region around the Mediterranean Sea has a long history that dates back to ancient times. For example, Stone Age tools have been discovered by archeologists along its shores and it is believed that the Egyptians began sailing on it by 3000 B. C. E. Early people of the region used the Mediterranean as a trade route and as a way to move to and colonize other regions. As a result, the sea was controlled by several different ancient civilizations."

Australia was still attached to Antarctica and ancestral New Zealand was still attached to Marie Byrd Land in Antarctica. The southern continents were beginning to break from Gondwana, and the effects on the world were enormous. As the continents moved from Gondwana the new arrangement of the land masses led to new circulation patterns in the oceans and the atmosphere. The result was a huge effect on the climate of the world. In the Early Cetaceous there was a global sealevel rise as the continents separated. Around the world vast areas of land were flooded. At 110 Ma the sealevel reached its maximum height, after which it rapidly dropped, and by the Late Cretaceous most continental areas were again dry land. Resulting from the plate movements, mountain building surged in many places. It was at this time that the Rockies of North America, the Andes of South America and the Alps of Europe were uplifted."

The basement of the North Sea was formed in an intraplate setting during the Precambrian. Rigid blocks were overlaid with various depositions, sands and salts. These rigid blocks were transformed to a metamorphic base due to tectonic processes such as continental collisions which cause horizontal pressure, friction and distortion in the Caledonian plate cycle as well as the Variscan plate cycle. The blocks were also subjected to metamorphic evolution during the Triassic and Jurassic periods when the rock was heated up by the intrusion of hot molten rock called magma from the Earth's interior. The Caledonian (Iapetus) plate cycle saw the formation of the Iapetus suture during the Caledonian orogeny. The Iapetus suture was a major weakness creating a volcanic fault in the central North Sea during the later Jurassic period. The Iapetus ocean was replaced with a suture line and mountain range when Laurentia, Baltica and Avalonia continents collided. This collision formed Laurussia. [ 1]: [51]The Variscan (Rheic) plate cycle resulted in the formation of Pangaea when Gondwana and Laurussia collided."

Most people use this draw naturally when they first start shooting. [ citation needed] This is often called the \"\"primary draw/release\"\"; the advantage of this draw is that the release is very clean; when the pull reaches a certain point, friction can no longer hold the arrow and it flies free. However, this release prevents the drawing of a stiff bow unless the archer possesses enormous strength in the fingers. It was widespread in traditional archery in the Americas and is seen (with the Mediterranean draw) in the earlier Assyrian reliefs of Ashurnasirpal II.

"text": "\"The Olympic Flag, which flies in the main stadium and all other venues of the Games, is white with five interlaced rings in the center. The rings are blue, yellow, black, green and red, with the blue ring high on he left, nearest the flag pole. These rings represent the five continents joined in the Olympic Movement. The proper arrangement and interlacing of the rings is shown on the sketch below. here is no country that has not one or more of these colours in its national flag. It was created in 1913, at the suggestion of Baron de Coubertin, and was used for the first time at the Olympic Games in 1920 at Antwerp. There are official flags for both the Olympic Games and the Olympic Winter Games. ( Source document: The Olympic Games, IOC Lausanne, 1958, page 75)The seventh Olympic Games Baron Pierre de Coubertin President, International Olympic Committee........... This time ( Olympic Games 1920 Antwerp) , there were two innovations; first, the pledges taken by the athletes, spoken aloud by one of them (a Belgian holding the flag of his country) in the name of all, al follows:\"\"We swear that we are taking part in the Olympic Games as loyal competitors, observing the rules governing the Games, and anxious to show a spirit of chivalry, for the honor of our countries and for the glory of the sport. \"\" Thus modern Games go back, little by little, to their illustrious ancestors by the successive restoration of both the ceremonies and the symbolic acts which gave to the former so great and deep a meaning. The second innovation was the appearance of the Olympic flag , with its five entwined circles, multicolors on a white background, evoking the five parts of the world united by Olympism, and at the same time reproducing the colors of every nation."

The bridge crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London and has become an iconic symbol of London. Because of this, Tower Bridge is sometimes confused with London Bridge, situated some 0.5 mi (0.80 km) upstream. Tower Bridge is one of five London bridges now owned and maintained by the Bridge House Estates, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation. It is the only one of the Trust's bridges not to connect the City of London directly to the Southwark bank, as its northern landfall is in Tower Hamlets. The bridge consists of two bridge towers tied together at the upper level by two horizontal walkways, designed to withstand the horizontal tension forces exerted by the suspended sections of the bridge on the landward sides of the towers. The vertical components of the forces in the suspended sections and the vertical reactions of the two walkways are carried by the two robust towers. The bascule pivots and operating machinery are housed in the base of each tower."

This event has its roots in a comprehensive cavalry test which required mastery of several types of riding. The competition may be run as a one-day event ( ODE ), where all three events are completed in one day (dressage, followed by cross country and then stadium) or a three-day event ( 3DE ), which is more commonly now run over four days, with dressage on the first two days followed by cross country the next day and then show jumping in reverse order on the final day.

Silver has become a material of innovation that appears in many unexpected places. Images copyright i Stockphoto / Jorge Farres Sanchez, Tatiana Buzuleac, Nigel Spooner, and Stephanie Frey. The White Metal Silver, the white metal, has an illustrious reputation for its use in jewelry and coins, but today, silver's primary use is industrial. Whether in cell phones or solar panels, new innovations are constantly emerging to take advantage of silver's unique properties. Silver is a precious metal because it is rare and valuable, and it is a noble metal because it resists corrosion and oxidation, though not as well as gold. Because it is the best thermal and electrical conductor of all the metals, silver is ideal for electrical applications. Its antimicrobial, non-toxic qualities make it useful in medicine and consumer products. Its high luster and reflectivity make it perfect for jewelry, silverware, and mirrors. Its malleability, which allows it to be flattened into sheets, and ductility, which allows it to be drawn into thin, flexible wire, make it the best choice for numerous industrial applications."

This Audi emblem signs the association of the brand Audi with others: Horch, DKW, Wanderer: the initial ring from at the left side represents Audi, the next represents DKW, the third is Horch, then the fourth ring is Wanderer. Its congeniality to the Olympic logo caused the World Olympic Committee to pursue Audi in World Trademark Court, where they lost. The four rings depicted on the Audi symbol are remindful of the four oldest car makers in Germany that immersed together to found the company in 1932. Previously these motor vehicle manufacturers were independent. Their names are: Audi, DKW, Wanderer and Horch. These companies became the foundation pillars on which the modern AUDI AG is founded. The logo was lately changed in 2009, to celebrate Audi’s 100th birthday. Logo Description The Audi logo became recently modified some years ago, in 2009, on Audi’s 100th birthday.

Circulatory systems and Immunology: Xylem thick-walled, often hollow cells located on the inside of the vascular bundle. They carry water and nutrients up the plant and their thick walls give the plant support. The outer layer of the xylem is alive and called sapwood. Process of rising water Transpiration- as water evaporates from the leaves of plants, a vacuum is created that pulls water up the stem capillary action- any liquid within a thin tube will rise due to its surface tension of the liquid and interactions between the liquid and the tube. root pressure- water entering the root hairs exerts a pressure that pushes water up the stem.

Pulmonary Edema Definition Pulmonary edema is a condition in which fluid accumulates in the lungs, usually because theheart's left ventricle does not pump adequately. Description The build-up of fluid in the spaces outside the blood vessels of the lungs is called pulmonaryedema. Pulmonary edema is a common complication of heart disorders, and most cases of thecondition are associated with heart failure. Pulmonary edema can be a chronic condition, or it can develop suddenly and quickly become life threatening. The life-threatening type of pulmonaryedema occurs when a large amount of fluid suddenly shifts from the pulmonary blood vesselsinto the lung, due to lung problems, heart attack, trauma, or toxic chemicals. It can also be thefirst sign of coronary heart disease. In heart-related pulmonary edema, the heart's main chamber, the left ventricle, is weakened anddoes not function properly. The ventricle does not completely eject its contents, causing blood to back up and cardiac output to drop. The body responds by increasing blood pressure and fluidvolume to compensate for the reduced cardiac output."

"text": "\"Part VI - General Hazards Français Chapter 42 - Heat and Cold PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSES TO THE THERMAL ENVIRONMENTW. Larry Kenney Humans live their entire lives within a very small, fiercely protected range of internal body temperatures. The maximal tolerance limits for living cells range from about 0°C (ice crystal formation) to about 45°C (thermal coagulation of intracellular proteins); however, humans can tolerate internal temperatures below 35°C or above 41°C for only very brief periods of time. To maintain internal temperature within these limits, people have developed very effective and in some instances specialized physiological responses to acute thermal stresses. These responses—designed to facilitate the conservation, production or elimination of body heat—involve the finely controlled coordination of several body systems. Human Thermal Balance By far, the largest source of heat imparted to the body results from metabolic heat production (M). Even at peak mechanical efficiency, 75 to 80% of the energy involved in muscular work is liberated as heat. At rest, a metabolic rate of 300 ml O 2 per minute creates a heat load of approximately 100 Watts. During steady-state work at an oxygen consumption of 1 l/min, approximately 350 W of heat are generated—less any energy associated with external work (W). Even at such a mild to moderate work intensity, body core temperature would rise approximately one degree centigrade every 15 min were it not for an efficient means of heat dissipation."

This selectively-permeable membrane controls the exchange of materials, receives hormone messages and is very thin. It can be described as a phospholipid bi-layer - meaning that it's made from phospholipid molecules and has two layers. Structure [ edit]A phospholipid bi-layer The phospholipid bi-layer is so thin it can barely even be seen by an electron microscope - a x100,000 magnification is required, and only shows a double black line around 7 nm wide. Since we cannot properly see the membrane, we have to take what we know about it and create a model - in this case known as a fluid mosaic model. Fluid Mosaic Model [ edit]A diagram of the fluid mosaic model can be seen below. Features of the fluid mosaic model;The membrane primarily consists of a bilayer of phospholipid molecules. These molecules can move about by diffusion in their own layer. Width is about 7 nm on average Some of the phospholipids are saturated and some are unsaturated. This affects the fluidity of the membrane, a heavily unsaturated membrane means a more fluid membrane."

"text": "\"The distribution of the total body water in mammals between the intracellular compartment and the extracellular compartment, which is, in turn, subdivided into interstitial fluid and smaller components, such as the blood plasma, the cerebrospinal fluid and lymph Extracellular fluid ( ECF) denotes all body fluid outside the cells. Total body water in humans makes up between 45 to 75% of total body weight. About two thirds of this is intracellular fluid within cells, and one third is the extracellular fluid. [ 1] The main component of the extracellular fluid is the interstitial fluid that bathes cells. Extracellular fluid is the internal environment of all multicellular animals, and in those animals with a blood circulatory system a proportion of this fluid is blood plasma. [ 2] Plasma and interstitial fluid are the two compartments that make up at least 97% of the ECF. Lymph makes up a small percentage of the interstitial fluid. [ 3] The remaining small portion of the ECF includes the transcellular fluid (about 2.5%). The ECF can also be seen as having two components – plasma and lymph as a delivery system, and interstitial fluid for water and solute exchange with the cells. [ 4]The extracellular fluid, in particular the interstitial fluid, constitutes the body's internal environment that bathes all of the cells in the body."

"text": "Anaesthesia & Intensive Care Medicine Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2007, Pages 73-78Physiology Capillary dynamics and the interstitial fluid-lymphatic system Jim Waterhouse Marina Sawdon Emrys Kirkman Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.mpaic.2006.12.012 Get rights and content Abstract The capillaries are the ‘business end’ of the circulatory system, where materials exchange between the plasma and tissues. Water-soluble molecules can diffuse through pores in the capillaries, and a Gibbs–Donnan equilibrium exists between the plasma and interstitium. There are several types of capillaries, which vary in their anatomical integrity and permeability. There is also a bulk flow of fluids between the plasma and interstitium, described by the Starling forces. Originally these forces were thought to cause fluids to leave the capillaries at the arteriolar end and return at the venular end; the role of the lymphatics was to provide an ‘overflow’ mechanism due to protein leakage out of the capillaries. More recent work indicates that this concept needs modification. Lymph flow and interstitial colloidal osmotic pressure are now known to be greater than first thought, and the interstitium has a slightly negative hydrostatic pressure. It is now believed that filtration takes place along most of the capillary, and the lymphatic system plays a more important role in maintaining plasma–interstitium equilibrium and preventing oedema. The system acts as a ‘closed’ one in that the changes in fluid formation (e.g. following haemorrhage or cardiac failure) are self-limiting. However, in some circulations (e.g. those to the kidneys, glands and the gut) net fluid production or absorption is required."

The fluids reenter the capillaries at the venous end becauseThe fluids leave the capillaries at the arterial end because VasodilationVasodilator VasoconstrictionWhich of the following statements is NOT true concerning blood vessels? Blood flow isUnder the microscope, the wall of a blood vessel is observed to contain only a tunica intima. This must be a (n) Upon dissection of a capillary, it is found to contain intercellular clefts, but otherwise no pores, openings or gaps in the vessel wall. This is probably a __________ capillary.Capillaries have only a CapillariesCapillaries Which vessel drains capillaries?The vessels that are responsible for carrying blood away from the heart are After blood passes through capillaries in the small intestine, it flows to capillary beds in the liver. This is an example of a simple pathway.Tunica intima is the innermost tunic of a blood vessel, and contains predominantly smooth muscle cells supported by elastic fibers. Under the microscope, a blood vessel is observed to have a relatively thin wall, a large lumen, is collapsed, and contains a thick tunica externa. This is probably a (nIn both pulmonary and systemic circulation, gas exchange occurs at the Capillary exchange is the process by which cells receive everything they need to survive and to eliminate metabolic waste.By far the most important means by which capillary exchange occurs is filtration. A small amount of fluid moves out of capillaries at their venous ends, and most of that fluid reenters the capillaries at their arterial ends. fFiltration pressure is the force responsible for moving fluid across capillary walls. If blood flow in the capillaries was too fast, there might not be sufficient time for exchange of nutrients and waste between tissues and blood.Local control of blood flow is achieved by the periodic relaxation and contraction of precapillary sphincters regulating blood flow through the tissues. Precapillary sphincters relax as the tissue concentration of nutrients, such as oxygen, glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids, increases.Vasodilator substances are produced in the extracellular fluid as the rate of metabolism increases. In a working tissue like skeletal muscle, carbon dioxide may accumulate along with an increase in lactic acid. In this example, carbon dioxide and lactic acid will act asDuring ____________ , there is an increase in ____________ due to a faster and stronger heartbeat and because blood is removed from the âreservoirsâ of the veins to the ____________ . There is also a ____________ of blood. In contrast, ____________ total blood flow is distributed to the abdominal organs, ____________ digestive processes; less is transported to the kidneys, which ____________ urine output to maintain blood volume and blood pressure.When carbon dioxide accumulates in a tissue, local arterioles will _________, increasing perfusion and decreasing carbon dioxide levels. A patientâs systolic pressure is 130 and diastolic pressure is 90. What is the pulse pressure?Blood pressure is highest in the ___________ and lowest in the _____________. As the cross-sectional area of blood vessels increases, velocity of blood flowWhich of the following is a mechanism that assists venous return? The pressure gradientGravity The skeletal muscle pumpThe thoracic (respiratory) pump The cerebral arteries dilate when the systemic BP drops and constrict when it rises.During liver disease, levels of blood proteins may be low. This would __________ blood colloid osmotic pressure. The best estimate of MAP isResistance in the blood vessels is primarily controlled by altering Blood pressure increases with sustained increased resistance becauseWhen a person changes position from lying down to standing, the blood pressure in the veins of the lower limbs __________. A long-term response to an increase in blood pressure would involveThe renin-angiotensin system results in multiple hormones that raise blood pressure. At rest, veins contain the largest percentage of blood in the body.An albumin protein from the blood may diffuse through the endothelial cell membrane and enter the tissue fluid. The thyroid gland is highly perfused. Therefore, it has a ______ degree of vascularization.Angiogenesis is the generation of new blood vessels in tissues that require them. During exercise, blood is shifted from the __________ into systemic circulation.The region of the nasal cavity immediately internal to the nostrils is the _________; it contains coarse guard hairs. There are two gases that are exchanged during respiration. Carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli while the other gas, ____________ , diffuses from the alveoli into the blood.Which do not belong to the respiratory zone of the respiratory system? The respiratory tract is a passageway for air between the external environment and the ____________ (air sacs) of the lungs.Receptors located in the superior regions of the nasal cavity called ____________ receptors detect odors as air moves across them. The vocal cords of the ____________ (voice box) vibrate as air moves across them to produce sound. Sounds then resonate in upper respiratory structures.Components of the respiratory mucous membrane include all of these EXCEPT: Nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium can be found lining what area of the respiratory tract?The nasal cavity is divided into left and right portions by the The largest unpaired laryngeal cartilage is theThe trachea bifurcates at the level of the sternal angle (where the manubrium and body of the sternum articulate) into the right and left The smallest respiratory bronchioles subdivide into thin airways calledThe right lung has ________ lobes, and the left lung has ________ lobes. The pleural cavityThe trachea extends inferiorly through the neck into the mediastinum and lies immediately posterior to the esophagus and the sternum. Respiratory bronchioles typically are lined by a simple cuboidal epithelium, and both the alveolar ducts and alveoli are lined by a simple squamous epithelium.The respiratory membrane is only 0.5 micrometer thick and consists of an alveolar epithelium and its basement membrane, and a capillary endothelium and its basement membrane. Change in the _______ of breathing is accomplished by altering the amount of time spent in both inspiration and expiration, whereas altering the _______ of breathing is accomplished through stimulation of accessory muscles, which results in greater thoracic volume changes.During lung inflation Pulmonary ventilation (breathing) can also be described asDuring inhalation, the thoracic cavity ___________; during exhalation, the thoracic cavity ___________. The control of breathing muscles comes fromAirflow is a function of what two factors? The amount of air that is moved between the atmosphere and alveoli in 1 minute isExternal respiration involves the exchange of gases between the atmosphere and the blood. Boyleâs law states that at a constant temperature, the pressure of a gas decreases if the volume of the container decreases, and vice versa.Shallow breathing is more effective for maximizing alveolar ventilation than slower, deeper breathing. Total lung capacity can be calculated as: vital capacity + residual volume.You cannot consciously hold your breath long enough to die. As the lungs expand while breathing, the pressure in the lungs decreases.The respiratory membrane, across which gas exchange occurs, is formed by the wall of the respiratory bronchiole and the pulmonary capillary. During inspiration, thoracic cavity volume increases.As the diaphragm relaxes, it is depressed (moves inferiorly). The partial pressures of gases in cells of systemic tissues result fromThis ability of bronchioles to regulate airflow and arterioles to regulate blood flow is called During alveolar gas exchange, blood P (CO2)During systemic gas exchange blood P (O2) Bronchioles have a proportionately thicker layer of smooth muscle than bronchi and contraction of this smooth muscle narrows the diameter of the bronchiole, referred to as bronchodilation.The gas exchange surfaces of the lungs are part of the pulmonary circulation, while the bronchial circulation is part of the systemic circulation. If a partial pressure gradient exists between two regions for a given gas, then the gas moves from the region of its lower partial pressure to the region of its higher partial pressure.Dalton's law states that at a given temperature, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is dependent upon the partial pressure of the gas in the air and the solubility coefficient of the gas. Physiologic adjustments, like ventilating alveoli well and providing ample blood to pulmonary capillaries, contribute to maximum gas exchangeThe partial pressure of each gas in the cells remains relatively constant because the continuous delivery of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide corresponds with the amounts associated with cellular respiration. During exercise, both oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production increase in response to elevated rates of cellular respiration but blood P (O2) and P (CO2) levels remain relatively the same.As the volume in the alveoli increases, the pressure decreases. The alveoli never attain equal pressure with the ambient (outside) air.Gases diffuse because of differences in partial pressures from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure. When partial pressures for a given gas are equal between the capillaries and the tissue fluids, no net movement of that gas occurs.The largest percentage of carbon dioxide is transported in the blood Hemoglobin is capable of transportingThe respiratory center is composed of the medullary respiratory center and the pontine respiratory center. Oxygen diffuses across the respiratory membrane from the alveoli into the capillaries because of the P (O2) partial pressure gradient.The largest percentage of carbon dioxide is carried from the tissue cells to the lungs attached to the globin portion of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is able to transport carbon dioxide, oxygen, and hydrogen ions at the same time without affecting each other.Perfusion ArteriesArteries VeinsVeins Left ventricleRight ventricle Right Side of the Heart pumps _____________ blood to the lungs.The left side of the heart pumps _______________ blood to the body.Pulmonary CircuitSystemic Circuit Basic patter of blood flow through the heartLocation of the heart PericardiumFibrous Pericardium Parietal layer of the serous pericardiumVisceral layer of the serous pericardium Cardiac muscle cell structureIntercalated Discs DesmosomesGap Junctions Functional SyncytiumCardiac Muscle Metabolism Coronary ArteriesCardiac Veins Coronary SinusFunctional End Arteries Sinoatrial (SA) NodeAtrioventricular (AV) Atrioventricular (AV)BundlePurkinje Fibers Innervation of the HeartCardioinhibitory Center Cardioacceleratory CenterAtrial Reflex Nodal Cells in SA NodeResting Membrane Potential (RMP) Na + / K + PumpsCalcium Ion pumps (Ca 2+) Voltage-gated Channels in Nodal CellsElectrical Events at the SA Node Reaching Threshold (SA node)Depolarization (SA node) Repolarization (SA node)Pacemaker Potential Vagal ToneCardiac Muscle Stimulation Overview Electrical Events of Cardiac Muscle Cell DiagramThe Sarcolemma of Cardiac Muscle Cells Depolarization (Sarcolemma)Plateau (Sarcolemma) Repolarization (Sarcolemma)Tetany Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)Waves and Segemnent of ECG TachyarrhythmiaCardiac Cycle SystoleDiastole End-diastolic Volume (EDV)End-systolic Volume (ESV) Stroke Volume (SV)Isovolumetric Contraction Isovolumetric RelaxationHeart Sounds Cardiac OutputCardiac Reserve Factors that Influence Heart RatePositive Chronotropic Agents Negative Chronotropic AgentsVenous Return The Frank Starling LawIntropic Agents AfterloadVariables that Influence CO AnemiaAplastic Anemia Hemorrhagic AnemiaPernicious Anemia Sickle-cell diseasePolycythemia Physical Characteristics of BloodComponents of Blood Blood SmearCollins Osmotic Pressure Plasma proteinsAlbumin GlobulinsFibrinogen Regulatory ProteinsOther Solutes w/I Plasma Electrolytes in PlasmaNutrients in Plasma HemopoiesisMyeloid Line Lymphoid LineErythropoiesis LeukopoiesisThrombopoiesis Red Blood CellsHemoglobin OxyhemoglobinDeoxyhemoglobin CarbaminohemoglobinErythropoietin (EPO) Erythrocyte destructionIron Component of Hemoglobin during Destruction of Erythrocytes The Heme Group of Hemoglobin During Erythrocyte DestructionSurface Antigens AntibodyAgglutination ABO Blood TypesRh Factor White Blood CellsPlateletsHemostasis CoagulationIntrinsic Pathway Common PathwayExtensive Pathway Clot RetractionFibrinolysis Compensatory PolycythemiaRelative Polycythemia ErythrocytosisPolycythemia Vera: LeukemiaAcute leukemia Chronic leukemiaHemophilia Hemophilia AThrombocytopenia ThrombusEmbolus EmbolismStroke Pulmonary EmbolismAngina pectoris Myocardial infarctionPericarditis Cardiac arrhythmiaAtrial flutter Atrial FibrillationVentricular fibrillation Cardiac arrestHeart murmur Valvular stenosisBradycardia TachycardiaSimple Pathway Includes Alternative Pathway IncludesAnastomosis The Three Tunics of Vessel Walls (in order from outermost to innermost)Vasoconstrictor AutoregulationVasa vasorum Companion vesselsVasomotor Tone Bulk FlowFiltration Hydrostatic PressureColloid Osmotic Pressure Net Filtration a pressureAngiogenesis Total Blood FlowBlood Pressure Blood Pressure Gradient",

General Biology Textbook Getting Started General Biology | Getting Started | Cells | Genetics | Classification | Evolution | Tissues & Systems | Additional Material The word biology means, \"\"the science of life\"\", from the Greek bios, life, and logos, word or knowledge. Therefore, Biology is the science of Living Things. That is why Biology is sometimes known as Life Science. The science has been divided into many subdisciplines, such as botany, bacteriology, anatomy, zoology, histology, mycology, embryology, parasitology, genetics, molecular biology, systematics, immunology, microbiology, physiology, cell biology, cytology, ecology, and virology. Other branches of science include or are comprised in part of biology studies, including paleontology, taxonomy, evolution, phycology, helimentology, protozoology, entomology, biochemistry, biophysics, biomathematics, bio engineering, bio climatology and anthropology. Characteristics of life Not all scientists agree on the definition of just what makes up life. Various characteristics describe most living things. However, with most of the characteristics listed below we can think of one or more examples that would seem to break the rule, with something nonliving being classified as living or something living classified as nonliving."

"text": "\"A&P CH22 The Respiratory Systemfront 1respirationback 1 (A) The general term for the set of physiological mechanism used to carry oxygen from the atmospheric air to the mitochondria of every cell in the body; this involves bulk transport (ventilation, circulation) and diffusion (in alveoli, across the alveolar membrane into the erythrocytes and from the capillary beds through the interstitial fluid and into the cell cytoplasm and ultimately to the mitochondria); it is generally divided into three stages: (1) ventilation - the process of inhaling and exhaling, i.e., breathing; (2) external respiration - the diffusion of gases between the alveolar air and the blood; and (3) internal respiration - the diffusion of gases between the blood and the cells. ( B) The oxidative process occurring within living cells by which the chemical energy of organic molecules is released in a series of metabolic steps, some occurring in the cytoplasm and some within the mitochondria, involving the consumption of oxygen and the liberation of carbon dioxide and water. aka - aerobic respirationfront 2pulmonary ventilationback 2The process of exchange of air between the lungs and the atmosphere; it is sometimes divided into two components: (1) pulmonary ventilation - the total exchange of air, usually measured in liters/minute, and (2) alveolar ventilation - the effective ventilation of the alveoli in which gas exchange with the blood actually takes place; the movement of air is accomplished by the muscles of respiration under the autonomic control of the respiratory center in the medulla.front 3external respiration = alveolar gas exchange = pulmonary gas exchangeback 3The interchange by diffusion (through the alveolar walls) along concentration gradients of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the alveolar air and the blood (plasma and suspended erythrocytes).front 4internal respiration = tissue gas exchangeback 4The interchange by diffusion along concentration gradients of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the cells of the body and the interstitial fluid surrounding them, which in one sense is a process of nutrition.front 5cellular respirationback 5The oxidative process occurring within living cells by which the chemical energy of organic molecules is released in a series of metabolic steps with the production of ATP, some occurring in the cytoplasm and some within the mitochondria, involving the consumption of oxygen and the liberation of carbon dioxide and water; it is generally divided into two stages: (1) anaerobic glycolysis in the cytoplasm followed by (2) the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation at the electron transport chain in the mitochondria. aka - aerobic respirationfront 6bulk flowback 6The movement of volumes of water and the solutes (unrestricted by size or charge) dissolved in that water under the influence of hydrostatic or osmotic pressures between cells in the tissues; the movement occurs rapidly through intercellular clefts (not across or through cell membranes); it is the major means of transport across capillary walls.front 7diffusionback 7The spontaneous intermingling of molecules or the particles of two or more substances as a result of random thermal motion within a solution (gas or liquid); it is the major means of transport for uncharged molecules across or through cell membranes; it is a form of passive transport which does not require additional ATP expenditure; the rate is dependent on the concentration gradient and the surface area available. aka - simple diffusion, free diffusionfront 8upper respiratory system = conducting portionback 8The system of airways for ventilating the lungs, consisting of the nasal and oral cavities, the pharynx, the larynx, and the trachea which divides into a series of ever-smaller branches (about 23 anatomical divisions are recognized): the main bronchi, lobar bronchi, segmental bronchi, and so on, to the smallest bronchioles which do not have alveoli, the terminal bronchioles; all these branches have smooth muscle in their walls and are lined with bronchial epithelium, either pseudostratified columnar, columnar, or cuboidal; although the base airway diameter decreases with branching, the overall or total cross-sectional diameter increases tremendously so that peripheral resistance to air flow decreases as the air moves closer to the alveoli; the volume of the air in this system of airways is not available for actual gas exchange, so it has been referred to as the anatomic dead space (normally that is ~0.15 L, i.e., ~30% of a tidal volume).front 9lower respiratory system = respiratory portionback 9That portion of lung tissue where external respiration, actual gas exchange, takes place; all included structures have alveoli present in them; the structures involved include 2-5 \"\"generations\"\" or anatomical divisions lined by cuboidal epithelium with smooth muscle in their walls termed respiratory bronchioles, though minimal gas exchange occurs through their walls, then the final branches from the respiratory bronchioles, which have no muscle in their walls, and are lined by a squamous epithelium, the alveolar ducts, and, finally, the alveolar sacs and individual alveoli, which are lined by alveolar type I and type II squamous cellsfront 10List the anatomical and physiological defenses the body uses to provide clean \"\"sterile\"\" air to the respiratory membranes of the lungs.back 10 (1) the conducting portion of the airways are lined with mucous membranes: (a) mucous traps dust particles and microbes (b) mucous contains lysozyme and other non-specific resistance factors (c) mucous contains Ig A class antibodies for immune resistance (d) much of the mucous lining is ciliated (trachea to smaller bronchioles) and ciliary motion sweeps trapped dust particles and microbes upward (the \"\"mucociliary elevator\"\") to be swallowed and sterilized in the acid bath of the stomach (e) beneath the mucous membranes lining the conducting portion of airways are collections of lymphatic tissue, e.g., the tonsils, to provide immune defensive cells to prevent infection (2) the respiratory portion of the airways where gas exchange occurs are patrolled by alveolar macrophages = \"\"dust cells\"\" which will phagocytize and attempt to destroy any dust particles or microbes which reach this locationfront 11Sketch and label: A frontal section of the thorax illustrating the organs, membranes, and (cavities) spaces involved in ventilation.back 11The Frontal Section is on the right.

"text": "\"pulmonary edema (redirected from Lung Congestion) Also found in: Encyclopedia . Pulmonary Edema Definition Pulmonary edema is a condition in which fluid accumulates in the lungs, usually because theheart's left ventricle does not pump adequately. Description The build-up of fluid in the spaces outside the blood vessels of the lungs is called pulmonaryedema. Pulmonary edema is a common complication of heart disorders, and most cases of thecondition are associated with heart failure. Pulmonary edema can be a chronic condition, or it can develop suddenly and quickly become life threatening. The life-threatening type of pulmonaryedema occurs when a large amount of fluid suddenly shifts from the pulmonary blood vesselsinto the lung, due to lung problems, heart attack, trauma, or toxic chemicals. It can also be thefirst sign of coronary heart disease. In heart-related pulmonary edema, the heart's main chamber, the left ventricle, is weakened anddoes not function properly. The ventricle does not completely eject its contents, causing blood to back up and cardiac output to drop. The body responds by increasing blood pressure and fluidvolume to compensate for the reduced cardiac output."

The human body and even its individual body fluids may be conceptually divided into various fluid compartments, which, although not literally anatomic compartments, do represent a real division in terms of how portions of the body's water, solutes, and suspended elements are segregated. The two main fluid compartments are the intracellular and extracellular compartments. The intracellular compartment is the space within the organism's cells; it is separated from the extracellular compartment by cell membranes. [ 1]About two thirds of the total body water of humans is held in the cells, mostly in the cytosol, and the remainder is found in the extracellular compartment. The extracellular fluids may be divided into three types: interstitial fluid in the \"\"interstitial compartment\"\" (surrounding tissue cells and bathing them in a solution of nutrients and other chemicals), blood plasma and lymph in the \"\"intravascular compartment\"\" (inside the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels ), and small amounts of transcellular fluid such as ocular and cerebrospinal fluids in the \"\"transcellular compartment\"\". The interstitial and intravascular compartments readily exchange water and solutes but the third extracellular compartment, the transcellular, is thought of as separate from the other two and not in dynamic equilibrium with them.

Will Smith at the Walmart Shareholders Meeting (Flikr)Will Smith The Fresh Prince of Bel Air has dominated both music charts and the big screen.

My heart still broke when Stone lost on Oscar night, but I took comfort in knowing that she would have many chances in the future. Having now seen all of the likely 2016 Best Actress contenders, it pains me to say that I just don’t believe that this is going to be Stone’s year. I honestly hope that I’m wrong, and welcome any arguments to persuade me to change my prediction back to her. But in the meantime, here are five reasons why I believe that Natalie Portman has the Best Actress Oscar all sewn up for “ Jackie .”Sign up: Gold Derby’s free newsletter with experts’ latest predictions and breaking news1.

"text": "Award-Winning Walt February is Awards Season, and The Walt Disney Family Museum is celebrating, with film presentations and visitor programs throughout the month. Walt personally won 32 Academy Awards® throughout his career. To this day, Walt still holds the record for the most Oscars® won by an individual, and there is only one place where you can get an up-close look at more than 20 of the famous statuettes—The Walt Disney Family Museum. Disney historian and author Jim Korkis has penned this excellent article about Walt and the Oscars, exclusively for Storyboard. Even decades after his passing, Walt Disney still retains the honor of being the individual with the most Academy Award nominations and the most Oscar wins. While the listing of these awards for animation, live action and more is very impressive, it is fun to take a quick look behind some of the stories of those golden statuettes. OSCAR BRACELET. The largest single collection of Oscars outside Hollywood is at The Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco. In the early Sixties, Walt had a very special bracelet fashioned with twenty miniature Oscar statuettes, each of which was engraved underneath with the name of the film for which it was awarded. Made of 18K gold, Walt envisioned having a necklace made with these charms given to him by the Academy; but Lilly said she’d prefer a bracelet."

Two of the five nominees for Best Picture were British productions: Laurence Olivier's superb black and white UK film Hamlet (with a total of seven nominations and four wins), a two and one half hour Shakespeare adaptation Michael Powell's-Emeric Pressburger's production of the richly beautiful, Technicolor balletic melodrama The Red Shoes (with a total of five nominations and two wins), the top money-maker of the year about a young ballerina forced to choose between love and career The two British films earned six Oscar awards between them ( Hamlet - (4) for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best B/W Art/Set Decoration, and Best B/W Costume Design, and The Red Shoes - (2) for Best Color Art/Set Decoration and Best Score). [ Powell and Pressburger had already teamed up to produce The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1944), I Know Where I'm Going (1945), and Black Narcissus (1947) . ] Hamlet was both the first British production and the first non-American or non-Hollywood (foreign-made) film to be presented with the industry's top honor - Best Picture. It is the only film adapted from one of William Shakespeare's plays to win Best Picture."

"text": "\"Why Are the Academy Awards Statuettes Called \"\"Oscars\"\"? BY Daven Hiskey February 24, 2017Getty Images In 2013, the Academy Awards were officially rebranded as simply The Oscars, after the famed statuette that winners receive. \"\" We're rebranding it,\"\" Oscar show co-producer Neil Meron told The Wrap at the time. \"\" We're not calling it 'the 85th annual Academy Awards,' which keeps it mired somewhat in a musty way. It's called 'The Oscars.'\"\" But how did the statuette get that nickname in the first place? The popular theory is that the nickname for the Academy Award of Merit (as the statuette is officially known) was coined by Academy Award librarian and future Director of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Margaret Herrick. The story goes that when Herrick first saw the statue in 1931, she said that it looked like her Uncle Oscar. According to Emanuel Levy, author of All About Oscar: The History and Politics of the Academy Awards, columnist Sidney Skolsky was there when Herrick said this and would later write that, “Employees have affectionately dubbed their famous statuette ‘Oscar. ’”More from mental floss studios An unanticipated problem was encountered, check back soon and try again Error Code: MEDIA_ERR_UNKNOWNSession ID: 2018-04-11:5b9230794649068f62a7f7d6 Player Element ID: my Player IDOKWhile the first documented use of “Oscar” as the nickname for the statuette was made by Skolsky—in a 1934 New York Daily News article—there doesn’t seem to be any evidence that Skolsky was actually responsible for the above quote."

Sylvester Stallone may have waited 39 years for another shot at an Oscar for playing Rocky Balboa, but he came up empty-handed in his quest for gold. Stallone was considered the favorite to win the best supporting actor award at Sunday night's Academy Awards, with both The Hollywood Reporter 's awards analyst Scott Feinberg and chief film critic Todd Mc Carthy picking the actor, who reprised his role as Rocky Balboa in Creed, as the person who would and should win . Mc Carthy said it was \"\"impossible to deny him,\"\" while Feinberg argued, \"\"Not long ago, a Sylvester Stallone win would have been as unfathomable as Matthew Mc Conaughey and Sandra Bullock wins once were, but voters love a great narrative. During the 39 years since his previous noms, for the first Rocky, he's made lots of crap, but he hung in there and in this film rose to the occasion. Expect him to win by a TKO over the other four nominees. \"\" But Stallone lost out to Bridge of Spies ' Mark Rylance. Read More Oscars: The Complete Winners List Math-based Oscar prognosticator Ben Zauzmer, however, noted that Stallone was merely a slight frontrunner in the \"\"closest race of the night,\"\" noting that since Beasts of No Nation 's Idris Elba won the SAG Award and wasn't nominated for the Oscar, there's \"\"no clear favorite\"\" looking solely at the math. \"\" Mark Rylance of Bridge of Spies built a last-minute case with his BAFTA victory, but Creed ’s Sylvester Stallone picked up Golden Globe and Critics' Choice wins and those just barely give him the edge,\"\" wrote Zauzmer. \"\" Not to turn to a cliche, but this is still anyone’s Oscar. \"\""

The buzz in the air this week is only going to get stronger as we approach the 90th Academy Awards. Next month, the best and brightest actors will take over the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood in hopes of coming home with one (or more) of the 24 Oscar awards. While we watch celebs receive their Oscars every year, the statues themselves are shrouded in mystery. We'll probably never get to touch one ourselves, but Wallet Hub released some helpful trivia so we can at least pretend. First off, what's it like to actually hold the award? The 24 karat gold-plated Oscar statue is worth $629 and is 13.5 inches tall. At 8.5 pounds, it's no wonder pretty much everyone who receives one is surprised by just how heavy it is. Advertisement That's a lot of money and gold for one small statue, but it's nothing compared to the cost of the whole ceremony. The 16,500-square-foot red carpet costs a whopping $30 thousand, which is probably why the show adds up to $42.8 million per year."

"text": "Mango Mangifera indica The common mango, botanically known as the Mangifera indica, is reported to have originated as alloploid and its native home is suggested as Eastern India, Assam to Burma or possibly further in the Malay region. According to some experts, the centre of origin of mango is also suggested to be the Indo-Burma region. The introduction of superior varieties of mango into the Malay region from India is also an evidence of its origin in India. Based on detailed study of the history, fossil records, and evidence of numerous wild and cultivated varieties in India, experts considered origin of genus Mangifera probably in Burma, Siam, Indo-China and the Malay Peninsula, but the birth of common mango was in the Assam-Burma region and not in Malay. There is ample evidence to prove that people have been cultivating mango for over 4,000 years and has found a significant place in Hindu mythology as well as religious ceremonies. Today, the mango is a well-known fruit in all areas of the tropic zones, and is as significant there as the apple is in temperate climates. The mango trees belong to the sumac family. In fact, there are hundreds of assortments of mangos, and they can range from the size of plums to that of apples, frequently weighing a pound or more. The familiar color of the mango is orange, although the color of the fruit may vary from green, yellow or red. The genus Mangifera belongs to the Sapindales order in the Anacardiaceae family that mainly includes tropical species with 73 genera with a few representatives in temperate regions."

"text": "Foraging Edible Sumacsstaghorn stemstaghorn berries There are 3 varieties of edible sumac in our area of New England--staghorn sumac (Rhus typhina), smooth sumac (Rhus glabra), and dwarf sumac (Rhus copallina). Staghorn sumac twigs are covered in soft hairs, similar to a young deer's antlers, and the berries are very hairy. Smooth sumac has a purplish midrib between the toothed leaflets, and smooth twigs. Their berry clusters are usually larger and the berries are smooth. Dwarf sumacs have a winged rib between each mostly toothless leaflet and small, darker berry clusters. The berries are pink, red or dark red when ripe, but are not edible as-is, since there is no juicy flesh like traditional berries. It is the ascorbic acid, malic acid, gallic acid, and tannic acid on the outside of the hard berries that you want to use a a tart flavoring agent in spice mixes and beverages. UPDATE: There is no oxalic acid on the berries. Thanks to Mike Krebill for clearing that up. Edible sumacs are botanically related to cashews and mangoes, so those with allergies to them should also avoid sumacs."

The name rambutan came from the Malay word rambut, whose literal translation means hairy, logical when you see the distinctive “hair” that covers the skin of this small fruit. Description: A hearty tree growing to an average height of 30-60 feet, the flowers are small and emit a faintly sweet pleasant scent. Mature trees in fruition brim with oval shaped fruit bunches that grow in a loose hanging clusters of around 10-20 specimens. The rather thick and clean peeling skin is generally reddish, orange or yellow in color and is covered with a thick hairy texture, making this fruit easy to identify. The coveted flesh of the fruit is translucent, whitish or a very pale pink, with a sweet, slightly acidic flavor, similar to that of grapes, but with it’s own uniquely tropical flavor. Be careful not to ingest the large single seed found buried within the sweet fleshy part, as it can be mildly poisonous when raw, but can be eaten when cooked properly. ( I have personally never tried that, so anyone who has, feel free to chime in on how that works!)"

By Adam Benfer Smooth, Staghorn, and Fragrant sumac are three of the most common species of Rhus, which not only resembled each other, but were used similarly. The sumacs are members of the Anacardiaceae (or Cashew Family), like cashews, mangos, and a few common poisonous species. Although they are close cousins of poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac, they have notably different appearances. All of these poisonous relatives have white or yellowish berries. Remember that all edible sumac berries are red and you will never have a problem misidentifying them. However, anyone with known allergies to any member of the Cashew Family should avoid consuming sumac. These edible plants are also known as smooth upland sumac, scarlet sumac, dwarf sumac, lemonade tree, vinegar tree, shining sumac, mountain sumac, hairy sumac, velvet sumac, Virginian sumac, and winged sumac (Angier [2008] 1974: 224; Kindscher 1987: 191; Medve and Medve 1990: 183).

"text": "\"Techniques The Best Way to Cut a Mango Daniel Gritzer Profile Twitter Contact35 Printer-Friendly Version [Photographs: Vicky Wasik]The mango is one of the fruits that's trickiest to peel and cut, leading to a lot of different ideas about how best to do it. A few things make it hard. First, there's the skin, which is too thick to blanch off, like with a tomato or a peach, and too clingy to just pull off, like for an orange or a banana. Then there's the pit, which refuses to be torn from the surrounding flesh, and, speaking of that flesh: It's slippery as a bar of soap. For years, I followed the common advice of cutting off the lobes of flesh on either side of the pit, then scoring the flesh of each lobe with a knife, and finally cutting or prying it from the peel, but it never worked as well as I wanted. First, it's easy to accidentally cut yourself when scoring the flesh if you're holding the mango in your free hand—any sharp knife can pass right through the skin and into your palm. And second, the pieces never come out looking neat and clean. There's a better way, and the key to it is to have a good peeler. In my experience, there's one kind of peeler that's better than all the rest: a carbon steel–blade Y-peeler. I've waxed poetic about them before, but some folks have a hard time being convinced."

To help you get an idea of what you could use to vary your selection of low calorie foods and eat generally more healthy products we compiled the following chart. We took the well known, extensive and authoritative USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference and selected the raw foods with calorie count ranging from 0 kcal to 99 kcal per 100g. As expected, the selection consisted mostly of vegetables, fruits, berries, some shellfish and fish. The unexpected was the number of different foods under 100 calories - almost 300 of them. There was also one important conclusion: plain water is the only truly zero calorie food. Everything else contains some energy, though it might be very low, it still is more than zero. Then we added pictures of all the foods because some of them we didn't know before and came up with the following chart of the lowest possible calorie foods.

From the Rosacea family, which includes many other fruits (some which seem completely unlike pears) such as cherries, raspberries, and even almonds, edible pears come in two basic varieties: Asian and European. Asian varieties generally offer a firm, crisp texture, while the European type becomes soft and juicy when allowed to ripen. From the stem down, most pears are narrower at the top than at the bottom. The color can range from yellow to red to rust. While one of the most satisfying aspects of eating a pear is the lusciously sweet flavor, there's also the curiously grainy texture that helps make this fruit so distinctive. While this may make it more difficult to determine maturity, you'll know your pears are ripe and ready to eat when they give in to slight thumb pressure. To slow the ripening process and preserve the optimal nutrients, pears can be refrigerated for a few days. Whatever type you use, pears are excellent for snacking, adding to garden salads, mixing with other fruits such as pineapples, peaches, or mangoes for a fruit salad. Overripe pears can be used in cooking and baking."

Originally from the Mexican peninsula, jicama has played an important part in traditional cuisines of populations living in Central and South America, the Caribbean, and parts of Asia from thousands of years. Jicama Nutrition Facts Jicama (which has the plant species name Pachyrhizus erosus) is composed of about 86 percent to 90 percent water, so it’s naturally low in calories, natural sugars and starch — and, therefore, it has a low score on the glycemic index. It’s also a good source of immune system-boosting nutrients such as vitamin C, magnesium, potassium and fiber. A one-cup serving of sliced raw jicama (pronounced hee-cama) has about:49 calories0 fat6 grams fiber1 grams protein11 grams carbs2 grams sugar2 milligrams vitamin C (40 percent DV)180 milligrams potassium (5 percent DV)1 milligram manganese (4 percent DV)7 milligrams iron (4 percent DV)4 milligrams magnesium (4 percent DV)4 micrograms folate (4 percent DV)7 Benefits of Jicama1. Great Source of Prebiotic Fibers Although it’s a root veggie, jicama is surprisingly low in starch, sugar and carbs compared to other vegetables like potatoes, turnips, beets and rutabaga. Where jicama really stands out is its standing as a high-fiber food — with about 25 percent of your daily fiber needs in every one-cup serving. Jicama’s fiber contains a beneficial type of prebiotic fructan carbohydrate called oligofructose inulin. Because it’s indigestible within the human digestive tract and ferments in the gut, inulin is considered to have zero calories, yet it benefits the digestive organs and, therefore, your entire body (including the immune system) in a few different ways. Inulin acts like a prebioti c once it reaches the intestines, which means it helps probiotics (or “good bacteria” living within the GI tract) do their job best."

The House and the Senate are the two houses of congress. They have fairly similar levels of power, in that they both have to pass a bill in order for it to become law (which is the chief power of congress). The difference between them is that Representatives are based on population, each one intended to represent a specific group of citizens. Originally, the plan was to have a Representative for every 30,000 Americans, but the population grew too big for that, so we've capped the number of Representatives at 435. In any case, each state is divided into congressional districts, and your congressperson is supposed to represent you in the Federal government. They're the one you're supposed to go to if you have a problem with how the country is being run. The Senate, on the other hand, is supposed to represent the interests of the states."

"text": "U. S. House of Representatives: Powers and Functions July 8, 2011 By Site Admin 8 Comments The chief job of the House of Representatives—aka, “the House”– is to represent the interests of the people—those American citizens that vote and elect each representative. Compare this to the role of the Senate: to represent the interests of each state. The U. S. House of Representatives makes up one half of Congress. The other half is made up by the Senate. Together they are also known as the legislative branch of government—the part that introduces and handles laws and amendments to laws. At any one time the House has a variable number of representatives. Unlike the Senate, which has 2 senators from each state, the number of representatives per state depends on its population, but all must have at least one. The more populous the state—like Florida or California—the greater the number of representatives. Article I of the U. S. Constitution, defines the unique powers of both the Senate and the House. Despite the fact that there is some overlap in responsibility, there are key differences in powers."

The amendment supersedes Article I, §3, Clauses 1 and 2 of the Constitution, under which senators were elected by state legislatures. It also alters the procedure for filling vacancies in the Senate, allowing for state legislatures to permit their governors to make temporary appointments until a special election can be held. The amendment was proposed by the 62nd Congress in 1912 and adopted in 1913 upon being ratified by three-fourths (36) of the state legislatures. It was first implemented in special elections in Maryland (November 1913) and Alabama (May 1914), then nationwide in the November 1914 election.

"text": "Chapter 5Congress: The First Branch Chapter Study Outline Introduction Established in Article I, the U. S. Congress is the Constitution’s first branch of government, being endowed with significant powers that make it both a prominent (formerly, the predominant) player in American national politics. Moreover, Congress is atypically strong, perhaps unique, among the world’s legislatures in terms of its ability. Possessing more than merely the power to legitimate or affirm policies made by the executive, Congress actually governs in the realms of domestic policy and, albeit to a lesser extent, foreign policy. Inasmuch as these are the formal and traditional powers of Congress, modern presidents are more powerful than were nineteenth-century presidents and have gained a great deal of power over domestic and foreign policy making that previously had belonged to Congress. As contemporary legislators struggle with presidents, Congress seeks both to represent important groups and forces in American society and to exercise its power to the extent possible given the current political context. Representation How well do House members and senators represent their constituents? And, by extension, how well does Congress represent the American people? Members of Congress might be thought of as agents who are selected (“hired”) to represent the interests of their constituencies and who also are subject to removal in subsequent elections (“firing”) should the constituency feel that its agent has failed to adequately represent its interests in Congress. As agents, members of Congress adopt different styles of representation, giving varying weight to the interests and views of their constituents as opposed to their own personal views and priorities. Members who follow constituent views closely are said to adopt the style of a delegate, whereas members who are apt to substitute their own judgment are said to act as trustees."

Trump need to do to get himself impeached? The constitution says only “ treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors .” The framers deliberately left it fairly broad, to give lawmakers and the people, a great deal of discretion. And yet it is not without meaning. To truly understand the meaning of “high crimes,” it is necessary to dip into English Parliamentary history, when Parliament could do nothing — generally speaking — to attack the king, but it could impeach and even force the removal of, the king’s ministers. And if you look into history, the definition of “high crime” as opposed to just a “crime” is not, generally speaking, an issue of how bad the crime is. Not really. Now don’t get me wrong. I think if a President of the United States were guilty of a wrongful death (I’m not speaking of the death of bin Laden), it would be so difficult for him to stay in office he would have to go. But believe it or not, that is not the usual standard."

"text": "\"From The Center for Constitutional Studies Democratizing the Constitution: The Failure of the Seventeenth Amendment C. H. Hoebeke * [From HUMANITAS, Volume IX, No. 2, 1996 © National Humanities Institute ]It was with no small sense of vindication that Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan signed the proclamation of 31 May 1913, declaring the Seventeenth Amendment duly ratified and incorporated into the fundamental laws of the United States. More than twenty years earlier as a Nebraska congressman, \"\"The Great Commoner\"\" had joined the struggle to free the Senate from the control of corrupt state legislatures, and despite three failed campaigns for the presidency, he never wavered in his determination to make the Senate a popularly elected body. 1 Now, after the most protracted political battle in that usually bloodless revolution historians refer to as the Progressive Era, Secretary Bryan put his seal upon the reform that, in the expectations of those who had labored for it, would end the dominance of party \"\"bosses\"\" and the state \"\"machines,\"\" stamp out the undue influence of special interests in the Senate, make it more responsive to the will of the people, and of course, eliminate, or greatly reduce, the execrable practice of spending large sums of money to get elected. As we shall see, even while the amendment was still being considered by the American public, there were ample reasons to doubt its effectiveness and to question the credulity, if not the integrity, of those who proposed it. But more than eight decades after the amendment, the current condition of Senate elections and Senate politics makes the sanguine predictions of 1913 look wholly na‹ve. Progressive Era reformers scandalized by the rare campaign expenditure of a hundred thousand dollars might be shocked senseless to learn that by the 1990s the average cost of a Senate seat would be well over five million dollars, that a candidate would not even approach the threshold of scandal until he had spent fifteen or twenty million dollars. 2 If there was once cause for concern in the muckraking stories of industrial tycoons and railroad barons buying Senate influence through contributions to the state legislators, then the largess of lobbyists and activists that is today handed openly and directly to Senate candidates (overwhelmingly in favor of incumbents) should be a cause for outright alarm. And if in 1913 the old-time brokers of Senate elections were cleared from their smoke-filled rooms, the current regime of media consultants, professional pollsters, mass-market specialists, and \"\"constituent-minded\"\" software is hardly the victory over political cynicism that Bryan and the Progressives had envisioned. 3In retrospect, the amendment failed to accomplish what was expected of it, and in most cases failed dismally."

By Todd Phillips As is typically the case, the race for the presidency dominated the news headlines throughout the election cycle. But in our system of government, the presidency is not where the real power lies — the real power lies with Congress. Congress is considered the first branch of our government because it writes the laws, levies taxes, authorizes the borrowing of money, declares war, and regulates commerce. The House of Representatives has the power to impeach the president. It is Congress that has the biggest impact on the lives of Americans, and as such it is the Congressional elections that we should be most concerned about. Surveys have found that Americans are deeply dissatisfied with Congress. As recently as three months ago, the Gallup organization found that 90 percent of Americans disapproved of the way Congress was handling its job. A Rasmussen Reports survey found that just 8 percent think Congress is doing a good job. A New York Times /CBS News Poll survey published in February 2010 found that 80 percent of Americans believe members of Congress were more interested in serving special interests than the people they represent."

"text": "\"The Renaissance and the Enlightenment name two distinctly different periods of European history. They both heralded major changes in culture, art, philosophy, science, and mathematics. The Renaissance is associated with advances in literature, architecture, humanism, and a world economy, while the Enlightenment is associated with the scientific method, industrialization, rationality, astronomy, and calculus. The Renaissance occurred during the 14th-16th centuries, following the Middle Ages. In French, the name translates as \"\"rebirth,\"\" meaning that this was a Golden Age of artistic, cultural, and intellectual thought and production. During this era, great contributions were made to music, astronomy, painting, architecture, poetry, drama, and philosophy. Some famous people of this period include Galileo, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Niccolo Machiavelli. Financial, political, and technological innovations contributed to this explosion in civilization. The Black Plague killed many people but ended up redistributing wealth, remapping cities, and establishing a literate middle class. The Gutenberg press allowed people to translate and widely distribute written material."

Petrarch, who conceived the idea of a European \"\"Dark Age\"\". From Cycle of Famous Men and Women, Andrea di Bartolo di Bargilla, c. 1450The \"\" Dark Ages \"\" is a historical periodization traditionally referring to the Middle Ages, that asserts that a demographic, cultural, and economic deterioration occurred in Western Europe following the decline of the Roman Empire. [ 1] [2]The term employs traditional light-versus-darkness imagery to contrast the era's \"\"darkness\"\" (lack of records) with earlier and later periods of \"\"light\"\" (abundance of records). [ 3] The concept of a \"\"Dark Age\"\" originated in the 1330s with the Italian scholar Petrarch, who regarded the post-Roman centuries as \"\"dark\"\" compared to the light of classical antiquity. [ 3] [4] The phrase \"\"Dark Age\"\" itself derives from the Latin saeculum obscurum, originally applied by Caesar Baronius in 1602 to a tumultuous period in the 10th and 11th centuries. [ 5] The concept thus came to characterize the entire Middle Ages as a time of intellectual darkness between the fall of Rome and the Renaissance; this became especially popular during the 18th-century Age of Enlightenment. [ 3]As the accomplishments of the era came to be better understood in the 18th and 20th centuries, scholars began restricting the \"\"Dark Ages\"\" appellation to the Early Middle Ages (c. 5th–10th century).

This period began with a demographic downturn at the end of the Roman imperial era, with European populations shrinking and many cities and rural estates abandoned. A cooling climate, disease, and political disorder each played a part in this opening period which saw Classical Mediterranean civilization eclipsed. Across Europe, there emerged smaller, more localized hybrid societies combining Roman, Christian and Germanic or Celtic barbarian influences. By the 9th and 10th centuries, populations had reached their minima, and Europe became a largely rural and somewhat backward region. Commerce and learning flourished in the Islamic world, China and India during the same period. Islamic armies conquered Spain during the 7th and 8th centuries, but were defeated by the Frankish kingdom in 732 when they attempted to enter France."

They understood themselves to be separate from the past, and one result was that a serious interest in studying history, classical literature, art, and philosophy developed. To some extent, this had the effect of beginning to loosen the grip of the Church on culture and socio-political life, and with the advent of the printing press, new ideas and interests could spread much more rapidly. These new developments helped lead to the Reformation of the 16th century and even to a slowly developing interest in science and the natural world, which eventually blossomed into the scientific revolution of the 17th century. Ultimately, they led to the Enlightenment of the 18th century. That's putting it all very simply, but it should give you a start on some things to investigate and think about."

By Jessie Szalay, Live Science Contributor | July 7, 2016 11:56pm ETMOREThis painting, by John Trumbull, depicts the moment on June 28, 1776, when the first draft of the Declaration of Independence was presented to the Second Continental Congress. The document incorporated many Enlightenment ideas. Credit: Architect of the Capitol The Enlightenment, also known as the Age of Reason, was a philosophical movement that took place primarily in Europe and, later, in North America, during the late 17 th and early 18 th century. Its participants thought they were illuminating human intellect and culture after the \"\"dark\"\" Middle Ages. Characteristics of the Enlightenment include the rise of concepts such as reason, liberty and the scientific method. Enlightenment philosophy was skeptical of religion — especially the powerful Catholic Church — monarchies and hereditary aristocracy. Enlightenment philosophy was influential in ushering in the French and American revolutions and constitutions. Historians disagree on precisely when the Enlightenment began, though most agree that the Enlightenment's origins are tied to the Scientific Revolution in the 1600s, according to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. The Enlightenment culminated in the French Revolution (1789-1799) and was followed by the Romantic period."

The term \"\" Enlightenment \"\" refers to a loosely organized intellectual movement, secular, rationalist, liberal, and egalitarian in outlook and values, which flourished in the middle decades of the eighteenth century. The name was self-bestowed, and the terminology of darkness and light was identical in the major European languages — \"\"Enlightenment\"\" for English speakers, si è cle des lumi è res in France, illuminismo in Italy, Aufkl ä rung for Germans and Austrians. Although it was international in scope, the center of gravity of the movement was in France, which assumed an unprecedented leadership in European intellectual life. Emblematically, the single most famous publication of the Enlightenment was the French Encyclop é die, ou, Dictionnaire raison é des sciences, des arts, et des m é tiers (1751 – 1772; Encyclopedia, or, Rational dictionary of the sciences, arts, and professions), a massive compendium of theoretical and practical knowledge edited in Paris by Jean Le Rond d'Alembert and Denis Diderot. The cosmopolitanism of the Enlightenment was genuine, however. It was a German admirer of d'Alembert and Diderot, Immanuel Kant, who produced the most enduring definition of the movement. In a famous essay of 1784, Kant defined enlightenment as \"\"emancipation from self-incurred tutelage\"\" and declared that its motto should be s apere aude — \"\"dare to know.\"\" Writers and thinkers associated with the Enlightenment were certainly capable of profound disagreement among themselves. But the common aspiration defined by Kant — knowledge as liberation — is what permits us to see a unified movement amid much diversity."

The value of these attempts has most often been in the suggestive and penetrating things said by the way. Such discussions help us very little to enjoy what has been well done in art or poetry, to discriminate between what is more and what is less excellent in them, or to use words like beauty, excellence, art, poetry, with a more precise meaning than they would otherwise have. Beauty, like all other qualities presented to human experience, is relative; and the definition of it becomes unmeaning and useless in proportion to its abstractness.

By Alana Shilling Gutenberg is best known for what is considered a masterpiece, the \"\"Gutenberg Bible. \"\" In 1452, German engraver Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press and changed the course of history. Before Gutenberg’s innovation, books were copied by hand in manuscript form — the process was costly, time-consuming and left much room for human error. The printing press used movable type to transfer words to the printed page. It allowed books to be produced cheaply and quickly. Although it sounds like a modest invention, Gutenberg’s press was transformative. It shaped a historical period of great importance that was flourishing at that time, the Renaissance. Some think that without Gutenberg, the Renaissance would not have had the same transformative influence.

[ citation needed] Many countries are \"\"republics\"\" in the sense that they are not monarchies. This article covers only the ideology of republicanism. The word \"\"republic\"\" derives from the Latin noun-phrase res publica, which referred to the system of government that emerged in the 6th century BC following the semi-legendary [1] expulsion of the kings from Rome by Lucius Junius Brutus and Collatinus. [ 2]This form of government in the Roman state collapsed in the latter part of the 1st century BCE, giving way to what was a monarchy in form, if not in name. Republics re-occurred subsequently, with, for example, Renaissance Florence or early modern Britain. The concept of a republic became a powerful force in Britain's North American colonies, where it contributed to the American Revolution. In Europe, it gained enormous influence through the French Revolution and through the First French Republic of 1792–1804.

"text": "\"1|Page Anonymous-ess1/9/13AP Euro Pope Leo X Paper Time Period Introduction The Renaissance started around the 14th Century and went until about the 17th Century, and is often argued to be a bridge between the middle ages and the modern era. Beginning in Italy, the Renaissance was a cultural movement that later spread to the rest of Europe. The influence of the Renaissance was felt in almost all aspects including literature, philosophy, art, music, politics, science, and religion. In a political aspect, the urban city-states of the Italian Renaissance were the first nations to see the importance of diplomacy. Scholars of the time period studied diplomacy, with Lorenzo de' Medici being a master of it. Furthermore, the citystates of the Italian Renaissance were among the first nations to abolish the feudal structures that were so widespread throughout Europe (22). In an economical aspect, the Renaissance saw the foreshadowing of some of many modern institutions. In addition, in the case of the Italy, it was an urban, capitalist society where a part of social status was determined by wealth. This rapidly growing and advancing society led other nations to model certain aspects of their own economies on the models of the Italian city-states (22). In a social aspect, the Renaissance in more cases than not led to the increase of wealth to the general public."

The Enlightenment (Age of Reason) is generally considered to have spanned the same time frame with the convenient end date being 1789, the beginning of the French Revolution. The Scientific Revolution/Enlightenment saw many advances in physics, astronomy, biology, and chemistry. Although previous periods did contribute to the ken of science and technology, this period was more productive and was inspired by dramatic shifts in world views. One shift was from geocentric to a heliocentric picture of the universe (solar system) offered by Copernicus in 1543. This is often described as one of the seminal moments in the nascent stages of the Scientific Revolution because it marked a shift from religious explanation to scientific explanation. It was declared sacrilegious to suggest that the Earth (humans) were not the center of the universe. Another aspect was the emergence of empiricism in line with the scientific method. This was a departure from the deductive approach championed by Aristotle. Francis Bacon favored an inductive approach."

"text": "Voices Our Voices Battle of Ideas The ‘Dark Ages’ were a lot brighter than we give them credit for We still view European history as taking off with the Renaissance and Enlightenment, but this position gets more out-of-date the more we learn Richard Swan Wednesday 17 October 2012 16:05 BST 0 comments Click to follow Independent Voices We tend to have a very blinkered view of the past, and the nature of those blinkers is often signalled by the terms we use: Dark Ages, Renaissance, Enlightenment. A moment’s reflection is all that is needed to see the fallacy of the simplifying mindset underlying the introduction of such expressions, but they are surprisingly persistent. We still tend to view European history and culture as ‘taking off’ with the Renaissance and Enlightenment, after a thousand-year period of stagnation following the fall of the Roman Empire. Our view is moulded by a long-standing reverence for the Classical period, and the populist image of this being swept away by hordes of barbarians whose names still resonate: Huns, Vandals, Visigoths. There is no excuse for this. We’ve known better since Victorian times, and the Victorians would be appalled by our continuing ignorance. The 19th century was a great age of rediscovery, when huge numbers of documents and manuscripts were published and medieval history and culture became widely respected and celebrated. The Dark Ages – dark only because of our ignorance of them – were dark no more. The Houses of Parliament and Tennyson’s Morte D’Arthur remain eloquent testimony to that. The process has continued unabated, and both scholarly and popular attention has given us an increasing understanding of the whole medieval period."

This design was a collaboration by Disney, the United States Steel Corporation, [3] [4] [5] and Los Angeles architect Welton Becket. To construct the building, steel frames were erected on-site and modular pre-constructed rooms, designed by California architect Donald Wexler, were lifted into place by crane. Most of Disney's Polynesian Village Resort and the Court of Flags Resort were built the same way, except rooms were stacked instead of slid in. In 2006, Disney filed plans for a project on the site of the Contemporary Resort's North Garden Wing. [ 6] Bay Lake Tower ultimately contained 281 timeshare units."

This luxury resort gives guests an all-inclusive experience with more food and drink options than you can count on both hands, all-day and night activities, soft sand and coral rock beaches, wildlife, a huge hydrotherapy based spa with gym (there's a fee to use facilities), and relaxing nature-filled grounds. Accommodations range from slightly dim but authentically decorated contemporary Standard Rooms to chicer suites; some rooms have outdoor showers. Decor is a notch above what is found on the White Sand and Riviera side, but that side offers more affordable two-room Suites. The adult-only Royal Suites has the nicest (but priciest) rooms.

However, the remaining four resorts are unofficially grouped based on their location -- Kantenah shares space with Colonial, and White Sand with Riviera -- but guests staying in any of these four resorts has access to all the features, food, drinks, and entertainment of the others. The largest (and oldest) sub-section of the resort is the Colonial and Kantenah side. Both resorts have their own large lobbies, reception desks, and entrances, located in what is essentially one massive building split into two sections. Kantenah's entrance is large; a big, open-air building with a brown palm frond roof, cream marble tiles, and a huge lobby surrounding a large Mayan statue."

Check out The Best Disney World Deluxe Resorts for a comparison of the eight Deluxes in a variety of categories including Best Layout, Best Dining, Best Transportation, Best Location, Best Rooms, Best Pool, and Best Overall Deluxe Resort. Address:4401 Grand Floridian Way Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830-1000Direct Phone : 1- 407-824-3000, Fax: 1-407-824-3186, General Reservations: 1-407-WDISNEY (1-407-934-7639)Resort Class: The Grand Floridian is a Deluxe resort, the most expensive resort type. There are 20 different types of rooms, suites, views, and categories with prices ranging between $410 per night for a Garden View room during Value Season all the way up to $2,965 per night for the Two-Bedroom Grand Suite during the Holiday Season. During Holiday Season, the Grand Floridian has 14 room types that cost more than $1,000 a night, making it the most expensive Deluxe resort. The Grand Floridian is also the newest of the Monorail Resorts, having opened in 1988, 17 years after the Contemporary and Polynesian. Location: The Grand Floridian was actually built on top of a man-made peninsula on Seven Seas Lagoon, near the Polynesian. On the monorail, the Grand Floridian is the most convenient resort to the Magic Kingdom because it’s only one stop away. Although the Grand Floridian is close to the Magic Kingdom, it is relatively far from Epcot and Hollywood Studios and one of the furthest resorts away from the Animal Kingdom. Size : The Grand Floridian is made up of the main building and five outlying guestroom buildings."

As previously reported, repair works to a section of the A158 and B1202 crossroads at Wragby were being held over a 12-week period. Lincolnshire Country Council said the road had “reached the end of its working life” due to recent icy winters. Traffic light signals were also replaced and the existing pedestrian crossing replaced with a more modern system. Three new pedestrian crossings have been installed, and the footpath that runs alongside the Marketplace and A158 will be widened for accessibility. Today, final improvements are being made to an adjacent footpath, which require temporary traffic lights until 3pm. Once this is complete the A158 and B1202 will be fully open as normal. Now the works are complete, the council will not have to return to the site for another 20 years. The £350,000 scheme has been completed slightly ahead of schedule."

Start this programby Martin Rooney, M. H. S., P. T., C. S. C. S. Share Tweet Print +/-Comments How do you improve on perfection? It's a question whose answer would seem self-evident, a rhetorical query designed to deter the hubris of anyone who would needlessly try to fix something that isn’t broken. It’s easy to understand why so many people consider Bruce Lee perfect. Although he left us prematurely more than 40 years ago, there are few people today not familiar with the martial arts icon. Through his movies, his martial arts innovations—he developed Jeet Kune Do—and his physique, Lee’s legacy has continued to positively affect and inspire people around the world since his passing in 1973 at the age of 32. Before I developed my system, Training for Warriors (TFW), I was certified in Jeet Kune Do and studied Lee's training methods extensively. I am convinced that as a result of the combination of current training methods and his progressive philosophy, he would have been even better today. Training methods, like technology, have come a long way since 1973. For a quick example, in '73, IBM developed one of the first personal computer prototypes called the SCAMP."

"text": "R74 route condition Note: Please check Recent Comments on this page for updated Route Conditions Attention all Gauteng Runtheberg-ers. As most of you know, the primary route to the Northern Berg from the Highveld takes you on the N3 past Harrismith and onto the R74 that runs alongside the spectacular Sterkfontein Dam and down the equally spectacular Oliviershoek pass on to the mountains. Sadly, as many of you will already no doubt be aware, the section of the R74 that runs along the dam has fallen into terrible disrepair over the past few years as the apparent result of a dispute between the Free State Provincial authorities and contractors. This road, which should in fact be a national treasure has sadly become a national disgrace. That being said, it IS driveable, and this past weekend (12 & 13 July) I took my city slicker old BMW 330 down to the Berg from JHB and from the Bergview 1-Stop Engen garage in Harrismith (the huge Wimpy / Nando’s / Mugg & Bean / Spur complex) compared the two main routes in and out. Route 1 – the long way round via Bergville From Harrismith Bergview 1-Stop get back onto the N3 towards Durban. Continue on the N3 for approximately 75km to the Bergville turn-off, and follow the signs to Bergville (a further 35km). As you get into Bergville look for the signs that direct you to the Northern Drakensberg / World Heritage Site / Drakensberg Resorts / Nondela, and drive for another +-29km to the turn-off to the left into the mountains (the signs indicate all of the Drakensberg Resorts (including The Cavern, Montusi, Alpine Heath etc.) and the Royal Natal National Park).

The Lazy Janitor (May have more mood fluctuations and volatility) The Good Janitor (A more suitable balance; not all defects are negative) The Hardworking Janitor (May have higher burdens of metals, aluminum & virus). The COMT V158M +/+ can be a big problem! Though it isn’t the most important area to address first, it is critical to consider the COMT enzyme as this defect can contribute to many challenges when adding in supplements, particularly methyl donors (see methyl groups list below). This is one of the second priority mutations. The COMT H62H also reduces activity leading to “super COMT ++ status” in those with a V158M ++ This enzyme defect allows you to spare dopamine and nor-epinephrine, also known as the “feel good hormones”. A partial defect can be useful in maintaining these important neuro-talkers within the community, particularly when bacteria are present. Bacteria often deplete tyrosine, the major precursor to dopamine so that anyone with bacterial issues (history of recurrent infections, gut issues, etc. ), tend to have lower levels."

"text": "Auto products giant eyes airport site New building will have 345 new jobs, distribution, manufacturing functionslocal By Thomas Gnau - Staff Writer... Updated: 5:36 p.m. Monday, June 13, 2016 | Posted: 3:12 p.m. Monday, June 13, 2016STP Products Manufacturing Co. plans to build a 570,000-square-foot distribution site at the Dayton International Airport, creating 345 new jobs and an array of potential future uses for the location, state documents show. The Dayton Daily News was the first to report Monday what has been a secret among local economic development and company officials. The company’s name and its plans for a $33 million center were revealed in a request for $660,000 in road-work money by the Ohio Development Services Agency on behalf of the Montgomery County Transportation Improvement District. “That is the company,” Erik Collins, development director for Montgomery County, said Monday. He said county officials will have more to say about the project later. Dubbed by local officials in recent weeks as “Project Gloss” to protect the company’s identity, the airport project will have future uses — a manufacturing component and, in its second year, a research and development component, Ford Weber, economic development director with the city of Dayton, has said recently. A message left with Spectrum Brands Holdings Inc. — owner of the STP brand — was not returned. The planned roadwork will include reconstruction and widening of approximately 3,750 feet of Concorde Drive, according to state documents. The roadway also will consist of the installation of a new traffic signal at the intersection of Concorde and National Road, the request says. Improvements will be meant to provide access for trucks and cars to the new distribution facility."

There are loads to choose from with plenty of different features for all different needs. The Techy Stuff Sat navs use GPS, which stands for Global Positioning System. GPS devices use information sent down from satellites orbiting the earth, and this info helps them to locate their position to within a few metres; they're incredibly accurate! They're transferable from one vehicle to another and are ready to use straight from the box. Different map levels You can buy sat navs with different maps. They range from sat navs with just UK and ROI maps (including motorways, major and minor roads) through to ones with full European mapping (45 countries), or even world mapping (100+ countries). Because a sat nav's internal memory is limited, not all maps will come pre-loaded on your device and you'll be required to download them from the manufacturer's website. All of our sat navs come with lifetime map updates to ensure your sat nav is as up to date as possible; take a look at our How To Update a Sat Nav guide to find out more."

The first stable line-up consisted of Brian Jones (guitar, harmonica), Mick Jagger (lead vocals), Keith Richards (guitar, backing vocals), Bill Wyman (bass), Charlie Watts (drums), and Ian Stewart (piano). Stewart was removed from the official line-up in 1963 but continued as a touring member until his death in 1985.

After Taylor left the band, Ronnie Wood took his place in 1975 and has been on guitar in tandem with Richards ever since. Following Wyman's departure in 1993, Darryl Jones joined as their touring bassist.

Blondie consisted of Debbie Harry (vocals), Chris Stein (on guitar), Frank Infante (on guitar), Clement Burke (on drums), Gary Valentine (on bass until replaced by Infante), Nigel Harrison (on bass), and James Destri (on keyboards) The band formed in New York in 1974 after Harry left a folk-rock group called Wind In The Willows (she had previously been in an all-girl band called The Stilettoes where she met Stein). The band's name is said to have come from what truck drivers used to call Harry when she walked by - some argue its from the popular comic strip character. Blondie released their first LP, Blondie.

"text": "As The Rolling Stones celebrate their fiftieth anniversary, Clash looks back at the band’s forgotten founder member who set out the template for the ‘Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Band in the World’. 1. While many consider Keith Richards the epitome of rock ‘n’ roll behaviour, he was still a fresh-faced youngster while Jones was in full debauched stride, even before The Stones had been formed. And Jagger’s hip-shaking, crowd taunting moves? Pilfered from a certain blonde-bobbed guitarist who hit the ground running when stardom came calling. 2. Like all good rock stars Jones gave himself a pseudonym, favouring the nom-de-blues of Elmo Lewis, a corruption of the name of his blues idol Elmore James. James’ song ‘Dust My Broom’ is a key song in the early Stones history, as it was the song Jones was playing with Alexis Korner when Mick and Keith first set eyes on him. 3. It was widely acknowledge that Brian was an incredible natural musician, quickly moving on from his mastery of slide guitar to more exotic instruments like the auto-harp, sitar and marimba."

Once the 'probation' period ended, his pay was reduced (at his request) to £20 a week, which was what the other band members were getting.

"text": "Born24 October 1936Lewisham, UKBill Wyman When Bill Wyman first went to rehearse with the Rolling Stones in December 1962 he arrived with his homemade bass, two amps and big bass cabinet. He gave the band the kind of sound they were looking for – more powerful, more electric and his spare amp did not go amiss. For the next thirty-one years Bill became one half of rock’s most reliable and rock solid rhythm sections. Born William George Perks on Saturday 24 October 1936 at Lewisham Hospital in South East London, he later changed his surname to Wyman, the name of a friend, in the early days of the Stones. His wartime childhood was unremarkable other than the fact that he was evacuated twice. Like Brian and Mick he went to grammar school but unlike the rest of the Stones he also did three years of National Service, joining the RAF, during which time he served in Germany from 1955. Being introduced to rock ‘n’ roll through American Forces Radio in Germany he heard Elvis, Jerry Lee and the others who changed the face of popular music earlier than most people in Britain. Returning to southeast London and civilian life he got a job as a storekeeper and also formed a band whose drummer got the job of drumming with the Rolling Stones in the summer of 1962. This led to Bill being introduced to Mick, Keith, Brian and Ian Stewart and as often been repeated, “he brought electricity to the Stones. ”Always a lover of rock ‘n’ roll Bill quickly learned to love the blues and true to character, he has said he would love to have been an archivist in a museum, he set about studying the blues and became an avid record collector and information."

"text": "\"Review: The Rolling Stones Reinvigorate the Blues on 'Blue and Lonesome'Our take on rock legends' first LP since 2005Read our review of 'Blue and Lonesome,' the Rolling Stones' vital new album of blues covers. David M. Benett/Getty By David Fricke December 2, 2016On April 7th, 1962, three young Englishmen obsessed with American blues met for the first time, at the Ealing Jazz Club in London. Two of them – singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards from an aspiring combo, Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys – were attending a performance by the local blues scene's leading troupe, Blues Incorporated, led by guitarist Alexis Korner. The third man, guitarist Brian Jones, was playing with Korner's group, under the pseudonym Elmo Lewis. Three months later, on July 12th, Jagger, Richards and Jones made their live debut as the Rollin' Stones at the Marquee Club, with bassist Dick Taylor, later of the Pretty Things, and pianist Ian Stewart, who would become the Stones' devoted road manager and true-blues conscience. Between those spring and summer landmarks, Jagger also did time with Blues Incorporated in a lineup that included the Stones' eventual drummer Charlie Watts, singing imported electric-Chicago standards such as \"\"Got My Mojo Working,\"\" a 1957 single by Muddy Waters, and a late-1955 recording by Jimmy Reed's guitarist Eddie Taylor, \"\"Ride 'Em on Down.\"\" Fifty-four years later, on Blue and Lonesome, Jagger turns back to that Taylor stomp, chewing on the words – descended from a starker Delta blues, \"\"Shake 'Em on Down,\"\" codified on a 1937 release by Bukka White – like a favorite meal as the air gets thick with Richards and Ron Wood's sniping guitars and Watts' rifle-volley snare fills. Related The Rolling Stones' New Blues: Inside Their Roots Revival, Bright Future Why iconic band took just three days to make 'Blue & Lonesome,' its first album in 11 years Recorded last December in just three days with co-producer Don Was at British Grove Studios in the London suburb of Richmond – almost spitting distance from the site of the Crawdaddy Club, where the Stones played a life-changing 1963 residency – Blue and Lonesome is the band's first all-covers studio release since the 1964 U. K. EP The Rolling Stones, and the Stones' first pure, straight blues record ever. It is also the working lineup of the world's biggest blues band – with Wood in his 41st year as the new boy and bassist Darryl Jones as Watts' co-anchor since 1993 – doing what comes naturally in a dozen songs mostly associated with sweet home Chicago: Reed, Howlin' Wolf, singer-guitarist Magic Sam and especially harp master Little Walter, with four of his Fifties and Sixties singles here. There is deep South too."

"text": "\"artists > K > Keith Richards > Bio Keith Richards Bio If Mick Jagger is the face and the brain of the Rolling Stones, guitarist Keith Richards is its heart, the embodiment of the band's rakish rock and roll spirit and commitment to hard rhythm and blues. He's become one of the most iconic figures in music: a hard-drugging rock pirate who also happens to be a guitar innovator and great songwriter. At the heart of his appeal is his rhythm guitar playing: a fluid, easy, rambunctious style that puts feel and groove way before technical prowess. Apart from the Stones, he's released solo albums and collaborated with other legendary musicians ranging from Berry to country singer George Jones. Born in Dartford, Kent, England, on December 18, 1943, Richards grew up around music. His maternal grandfather was a member of a jazz band and his mother introduced him to the music of Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday and Duke Ellington, and bought him his first acoustic guitar. He knew Jagger as a child in primary school, but had moved away from his old neighborhood and lost contact with his old friend until the early Sixties when the two bumped into each other on a train. By then Richards was attending art school, where he had discovered the American blues of artists like Little Walter and Big Bill Broonzy. Richards and Jagger realized they shared similar musical interests and in 1962 formed the Rolling Stones along with fellow blues enthusiast Brian Jones. The combination of Richards' raw attack and interwoven rhythms and leads with Jones provided the fire behind Jagger's bluesy vocals on early Stones songs, mostly covers of rock & roll and R&B hits like Chuck Berry's \"\"Come On\"\" and Marvin Gaye's \"\"Can I Get a Witness,\"\" and later workouts with subsequent Stones guitarists Mick Taylor and Ron Wood on classics like 1972's \"\"Tumbling Dice\"\" and 1981's \"\"Start Me Up. \"\""

He did not receive any individual songwriting credits for songs that the Rolling Stones recorded; he did not sing lead vocals on any of their records; and he was not a star guitar soloist. Nevertheless, he is more famous than any of the Rolling Stones except Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, and for good reasons. His attitude and stage presence did a good deal to help define the Rolling Stones ' image in the 1960s, and his skills on a variety of instruments lent many of their records a diversity and eclecticism that the group would never match after his departure. He also did a couple of little-known recordings under his own name, although those were ones in which he was a composer or a documentarian, as opposed to a featured performer. Jones was already a rebel who embodied the more flamboyant aspects of the Rolling Stones ' lifestyle even before the Rolling Stones formed. As a teenager he got into trouble by fathering illegitimate children, and despite his high IQ, he shunned academic studies in favor of his passions for playing jazz and blues. In the early 1960s he was spotted by Keith Richards and Mick Jagger playing Elmore James -styled guitar while sitting in at an Alexis Korner gig. Jones moved to London and joined forces with Richards and Jagger to form a band, the Rolling Stones, who played their first shows in 1962."

It may be debatable whether they have actually, at any given moment, been the “greatest rock-and-roll band in the world,” as their time-honoured onstage introduction has claimed them to be; that they are the mold from which various generations of challengers—from the Who, Led Zeppelin, and Aerosmith via the New York Dolls, the Clash, and the Sex Pistols all the way to Guns N’ Roses and Oasis—have been struck is not. In their onstage personae, Jagger and Richards established the classic rock band archetypes: the preening, narcissistic singer and the haggard, obsessive guitarist."

The blues was always the touchstone, and this 22-track collection dips into some of the band's obvious influences, beginning with the Muddy Waters track \"\"Rolling Stone,\"\" a version of Robert Petway 's \"\"Catfish Blues\"\" (which is also included here) that gave the group its name, and reaching through to songs like Robert Wilkins ' \"\"That's No Way to Get Along,\"\" which appeared on the Stones ' Beggars Banquet album as \"\"Prodigal Son,\"\" and Robert Johnson 's \"\"Love in Vain,\"\" which the Stones ' covered wonderfully on Let It Bleed. Even setting the Rolling Stones connection aside, this set makes for a varied little survey sampler of the different strains of the blues, from the swampy, lazy malaise feel of Slim Harpo 's \"\"I'm a King Bee\"\" to the blastoff electric slide guitar riff that drives Elmore James ' \"\"Dust My Broom\"\" (one could make a strong case that this track exemplifies everything the Stones aspired to be) and the Bo Diddley roots of Buddy Holly 's \"\"Not Fade Away,\"\" the song that first broke the Stones to an American audience. Again, it's no secret that these songs provided the template for the band that the Stones became, so in that sense this set isn't exactly revelatory, but hearing these original versions underscores just how strongly the Stones absorbed, expanded, and relied on the blues every step of the way. It is revealing, even if it isn't much of a surprise.

The members of The Band first came together as rockabilly singer Ronnie Hawkins 's backing group, the Hawks, which they joined one by one between 1958 and 1963. In 1964, they separated from Hawkins, after which they toured and released a few singles as Levon and the Hawks and the Canadian Squires. The next year, Bob Dylan hired them for his U. S. tour in 1965 and world tour in 1966. [ 1] Following the 1966 tour, the group moved with Dylan to Saugerties, New York, where they made the informal 1967 recordings that became The Basement Tapes, the basis for their 1968 debut album, Music from Big Pink."

"text": "Overview of the Spinal Nerves Spinal nerves, a part of the peripheral nervous system (PNS), are mixed nerves that send motor, sensory, and autonomic signals between the CNS and the body. Learning Objectives Describe spinal nerves of the peripheral nervous system Key Takeaways Key Points Afferent sensory axons bring sensory information from the body to the spinal cord and brain; they travel through the dorsal roots of the spinal cord. Efferent motor axons bring motor information from the brain to the body; they travel through the ventral roots of the spinal cord. All spinal nerves—except the first pair—emerge from the spinal column through an opening between vertebrae, called an intervertebral foramen. The spinal nerves are typically labeled by their location in the body: thoracic, lumbar, or sacral.

Spinal Nerve Anatomy The term spinal nerve generally refers to a mixed spinal nerve that carries motor, sensory, and autonomic signals between the spinal cord and the body. Humans have 31 left–right pairs of spinal nerves, each roughly corresponding to a segment of the vertebral column: eight cervical spinal nerve pairs (C1–C8), 12 thoracic pairs (T1–T12), five lumbar pairs (L1–L5), five sacral pairs (S1–S5), and one coccygeal pair. The spinal nerves are part of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). A spinal nerve: Spinal nerves arise from a combination of nerve fibers from the dorsal and ventral roots of the spinal cord."

"text": "The sacral region (sacrum) is at the bottom of the spine and lies between the fifth segment of the lumbar spine (L5) and the coccyx (tailbone). The sacrum is a triangular-shaped bone and consists of five segments (S1-S5) that are fused together. Article continues below Components of the Sacral Region (Sacrum)The first three vertebrae in the sacral region have transverse processes that come together to form wide lateral wings called alae. These alae articulate with the blades of the pelvis (ilium). As part of the pelvic girdle, the sacrum forms the back wall of the pelvis and also forms joints at the hip bone called the sacroiliac joints. The sacrum contains a series of four openings on each side through which the sacral nerves and blood vessels run. The sacral canal runs down the center of the sacrum and represents the end of the vertebral canal. A healthy sacral region is rarely fractured except in instances of serious injury, such as a fall or trauma to the area. However, patients with osteoporosis or rheumatoid arthritis are inclined to develop stress fractures and fatigue fractures in the sacrum. Back pain or leg pain ( sciatica) can typically arise due to injury where the lumbar spine and sacral region connect (at L5-S1) because this section of the spine is subjected to a large amount of stress and twisting during certain activities, such as sports and sitting for long periods of time."

The five sacralvertebrae are fused to form the sacrum, and the four coccygeal vertebrae are fused to form thecoccyx. The weight-bearing portion of a typical vertebra is the vertebral body, the most forward portion. This is a cylindrical structure that is separated from the vertebral bodies above and below by disks of cartilage and fibrous tissue.

Main Anatomy Index | Muscles of the hip and thigh Last updated 30 March 2006The Sacrum General In older adults this large, triangular wedge-shaped bone is composed of five fused vertebrae. The triangular shape of the sacrum resulted from the rapid shrinkage in the size of the lateral masses. The inferior half is not weight bearing and therefore diminished rapidly in bulk. The sacrum (L. scared bone) provides strength and stability to the pelvis and transmits the weight of the body to the pelvic girdle through the sacroiliac joints. On the pelvic and dorsal surfaces, there are typically four pairs of foramina between its vertebral components for the exit of the ventral and dorsal divisions of the sacral nerves. Observe that the anterior (pelvic) sacral foramina are larger than the posterior (dorsal) ones. Components of the Sacrum The base of the sacrum is formed by the superior surface of S1 vertebra.

"text": "\"Introduction The most common symptom of the lumbar and sacral areas, by far, is pain. In fact, back pain is one of the most prevalent symptoms in America today, second only to headache. Its causes may be direct or referred and be the result of dysfunction or disease, either focal or general in nature. The multiplicity of causative and effected ailments is almost endless. At times, the cause is readily apparent. At other times, it is a frustrating determination because of the spinal column's complex structure, weight-bearing chores, and close relationship with the nervous system and cerebrospinal circulation. The confusion can only be relieved through knowledge of the structure, function, and pathophysiology of the body that is producing the symptoms and signs, and an intelligent interpretation of all findings. Functional Considerations As in the thoracic spine, the movements of the lumbar spine are flexion, extension, lateral bending, and rotation. Lateral flexion is relatively free in the lumbar region, followed in order of mobility by extension, flexion, and rotation (minimal). The range of lumbar motion is determined by the disc's resistance to distortion, its thickness (Table 12.1), and the angle and size of the articular surfaces."

"text": "Home Biology Movement and Locomotion in Animals The Vertebral Column Or Spinal Column Vertebral column is also called back bone or spine and encloses the spinal cord. It is a flexible,curved , vertical rod, and consists of a row of 33 movably articulated ring like bones called vertebrae. Between each of the two bones the space is supplemented by pads of fibro-cartilage called the intervertebral discs. The vertebrae are held together by ligaments which prevent their dislocation, but permit a degree of movementt, making the backbone flexible. The adult vertebral column measures 60-70 cm in length. The vertebrae are grouped and named according to the region they occupy. Seven cervical vertebrae form the neck or cervical region. Twelve thoracic vertebrae form the back of the thorax or chest. Five lumbar vertebrae form the lumbar region or loins. Five sacral vertebrae form the sacrum."

Main Document The human spinal cord consists of nerves that connect the brain to nerves in the body. It is a superhighway for messages between the brain and the rest of the body. The spinal cord is surrounded for most of its length by the bones (vertebrae) that form the spine. The outer layer of the human spinal cord consists of white matter, i.e., myelin-sheathed nerve fibers. These are bundled into specialized tracts that conduct impulses triggered by pressure, pain, heat, and other sensory stimuli or conduct motor impulses activating muscles and glands. The inner layer, or gray matter, is mainly composed of nerve cell bodies. Within the gray matter, running the length of the cord and extending into the brain, lies the central canal through which the cerebrospinal fluid circulates. How Long is the Spinal Cord? The human spinal cord, part of the central nervous system, is around 45 cm (18 in) in men and around 43 cm (17 in) long in women."

The area is highly mineralized (the Colorado Mineral Belt) and figured in the gold and silver mining industry of early Colorado. Major towns, all old mining camps, include Creede, Lake City, Silverton, Ouray, and Telluride. Large scale mining has ended in the region, although independent prospectors still work claims throughout the range. The last large scale mines were the Sunnyside Mine near Silverton, which operated until late in the 20th century and the Idarado Mine on Red Mountain Pass that closed down in the 1970s. Famous old San Juan mines include the Camp Bird and Smuggler Union mines, both located between Telluride and Ouray. The Summitville mine was the scene of a major environmental disaster in the 1990s when the liner of a cyanide -laced tailing pond began leaking heavily. Summitville is in the Summitville caldera, one of many extinct volcanoes making up the San Juan volcanic field. One, La Garita Caldera, is 35 miles (56 km) in diameter."

"text": "Back to Multiple Property Submissions Mining was far and away the most significant industry in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Colorado and has remained important since that time. The Pike’s Peak Gold Rush brought unprecedented numbers of people into the region and that in turn led to powerful social, economic, and political changes that brought about the creation of Colorado Territory in 1861, culminating in the admittance of Colorado to the Union in 1876. Mining in all its phases remained the great engine of the Colorado economy until the early twentieth century. The industry also contributed to significant technological advances and that, combined with the professional studies of all aspects of the industry, had powerful ramifications in the industry’s global expansion in both the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Though sometimes derided as a “mom and pop” industry and one of quaint ruins, mineral development in the Centennial State both reflected and contributed to the dramatic industrial and technological advances of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Moreover, the powerful advance of industrial metal mining, coupled with immense coal production, contributed immeasurably to state, national, and international development. This document provides a basic historical overview of mining activities and related technology in order to assist cultural resource professionals, landowners and managers, and the general public in identifying and evaluating mining and mining-related properties in relation to the eligibility criteria established by the National Register of Historic Places. The document focuses on the three closely related mining industries-precious and base metals, coal, and industrial metals. The geographic area includes the entire State of Colorado, although mining activities, particularly of metal ores, occurred primarily in the mountainous western half of the state. As the document’s title infers, the historic contexts relate to the business and technology of the major mining functions of extraction, beneficiation and refining."

It is bordered by Colorado on the north; by Oklahoma and Texas on the east; by Texas and the Mexican state of Chihuahua on the south; and it borders Arizona on the west. The geographic center of the state is in Torrance County. The landscape of New Mexico comprises four land regions: Great Plains: The region extending from a high plateau in the north to south across the Pecos River is referred to as the Great Plains. The region is used for cattle ranches. High Plains: The area along the eastern edge of the state, south of the Canadian River is known as the High Plains. The region is also known as the Staked Plains. Rocky Mountains: The central part of New Mexico is covered by the Rocky Mountains. These extend from New Mexico to Colorado. The highest mountain peak in the state, Wheeler Peak, is found in this range."

The road was originally planned by the Denver Mountain Parks system to link Summit Lake Park and Echo Lake Park to their lower altitude parks in the foothills. As originally planned, the road ran from Bergen Park near Evergreen to Echo Lake, and then to the summit, while the road from Echo Lake down into Chicago Creek Canyon was a secondary branch. From the start, the road was planned in terms of the scenic vistas along the way. [ 1] The route was set by Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr., and for a while, between 1915 and 1920, it was to be the primary access road for a proposed National Park comprising much of what is now the Mount Evans Wilderness Area.

The Rocky Mountains stretch more than 3,000 miles (4,830 km) from the northernmost part of British Columbia, in western Canada, to New Mexico, in the southwestern United States. Within the North American Cordillera, the Rockies are somewhat distinct from the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Cascade Range and Sierra Nevada which all lie farther to the west. The Rocky Mountains were formed from 80 million to 55 million years ago during the Laramide orogeny, in which a number of plates began to slide underneath the North American plate. The angle of subduction was shallow, resulting in a broad belt of mountains running down western North America. Since then, erosion by water and glaciers have sculpted the Rockies into dramatic peaks and valleys. At the end of the last ice age, humans started to inhabit the mountain range. After Europeans, such as Sir Alexander Mac Kenzie and the Lewis and Clark expedition, started to explore the range, minerals and furs drove the initial economic exploitation of the mountains, although the range itself never became densely populated."

"text": "\"VOLCANOESMayon Volcano, a beautifully symmetrical but dangerous composite volcano on Luzon Island, Philippines. A volcano is a mound, hill or mountain constructed by solid fragments, lava flows, and or dome-like extrusions deposited around a vent from which the material is extruded. The vent is a conduit that extends from the earth's upper mantle or lithosphere to the surface. Most of the material is deposited close to the vent, but some is carried high into the atmosphere to be spread by winds hundreds or thousands of kilometers from the source. Types of Volcanoes The form, or shape, of a volcano is governed by the composition of erupting magma and type of erupted products (volcaniclastic products of various kinds such as pyroclastic and autoclastic fragments; or effusive lava). Their shapes are determined in large part by the explosivity of eruptions, and volume of water that interacts with magma. Shield Volcanoes View northward toward Mauna Loa volcano from Pohue Bay, south coast of Hawaii. The broad curving horizon line is the summit of Mauna Loa that stands over 14,000 feet above sea level and 30,000 feet above the sea floor. It is the highest mountain on earth. Shield volcanoes are large volcanoes with broad summit areas and low-sloping sides (shield shape) because the extruded products are mainly low viscosity basaltic lava flows."

The city population was 118 at the 2010 United States Census, [10] making Black Hawk the least populous city (rather than town) in Colorado. The tiny city is an historic mining settlement founded in 1859 during the Pike's Peak Gold Rush. Black Hawk is a part of the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, CO Metropolitan Statistical Area. Black Hawk is located adjacent to Central City, another historic mining settlement in Gregory Gulch. The two cities form the federally designated Central City/Black Hawk National Historic District. The area flourished during the mining boom of the late 19th century following the construction of mills and a railroad link to Golden. The town declined during the 20th century, but has been revived in recent years after the 1991 establishment of casino gambling following a statewide initiative in 1990."

August 26, 2012 | By Rosemary Mc Clure The marina at Roche Harbor, on San Juan Island’s north end, includes… (Rosemary Mc Clure )FRIDAY HARBOR, Wash. — Two dozen hardy travelers were clustered near me on the top deck of a 114-foot ferry, most of us shivering under cloudy skies as a colorful mosaic of water and land slid by the vessel, the Victoria Clipper III. We were sailing through the San Juan Islands, an archipelago of hundreds of isles between mainland Canada, Vancouver Island and Washington state's northwestern coast. As we cruised north from Seattle, rolling hills were replaced by dark green forests and rocky bluffs that overlooked fiord-like inlets. Eagles soared, mountain sheep clung to steep hillsides and harbor seals hauled out to nap on the shoreline. It had been overcast and drizzling all morning, but as we approached Friday Harbor, our San Juan Island destination, the clouds parted as if on cue. I saw palatial homes, mega-yachts in the harbor and a pretty little town marching down a hillside to the sea, all competing with unspoiled nature for attention. Nature won, no contest.

"text": "An alpine landscape dominates the summits of the Colorado Rockies. Shaped like a near-perfect rectangle, a land area of nearly 104,000 square miles makes Colorado the eighth-largest state in the nation. Geographically, it is considered one of the Four Corners states, along with neighboring New Mexico, Arizona and Utah. Colorado’s landforms and elevations are quite varied, as the state straddles both the flat Great Plains and the jagged peaks of the Rocky Mountains. Great Plains Although the word “Colorado” most often conjures up images of rugged, snow -capped mountains, the Great Plains actually usurp nearly 40 percent of the state. Strictly flat in some places and gently rolling in others, the plains cover the entire eastern portion of Colorado, extending eastward into neighboring Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma. Occasional bluffs and canyons disrupt the otherwise featureless terrain, with numerous varieties of grasses growing throughout this mostly treeless landscape. Farming, particularly livestock production, is the dominant industry of this rural region. For those wanting to visit there are several mine tours and Gold Rush towns. The Rocky Mountains The Rocky Mountains form the spine of the state, comprising most of its central portion."

"text": "When to Capitalize Seasons Knowing when to capitalize seasons can be confusing. The seasons used in the English language have specific capitalization rules that depend on how they are used. Whether they are generic or proper nouns or used in titles dictate when they are capitalized. There are a few exceptions to the general rules as well. Seasons as generic nouns/adjectives When used generally, the seasons (summer, spring, fall or autumn and winter) are not capitalized because they are not proper nouns. When seasons are used generically, make sure to use them in all lower case. Consider the following examples: Example 1: The temperature in Michigan drops considerably in the fall, and in the winter, the temperatures are sometimes below zero degrees Fahrenheit. Example 2: Last summer’s humidity levels were higher than normal. Example 3: The best time to plant your garden is in the spring. Seasons as proper nouns When seasons are part of a proper noun, they are capitalized."

It is best not to use them if there is any doubt. Rule 1. Capitalize the first word of a document and the first word after a period. Rule 2. Capitalize proper nouns—and adjectives derived from proper nouns. Examples:the Golden Gate Bridge the Grand Canyon a Russian song a Shakespearean sonnet a Freudian slip With the passage of time, some words originally derived from proper nouns have taken on a life, and authority, of their own and no longer require capitalization.

It was written by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, and directed by Daniel Minahan. Set to air May 29, 2011, the episode was released in advance immediately following the conclusion of \"\" A Golden Crown \"\" to HBO customers with access to HBO Go. The episode furthers the story line of deterioration of the political balance of the Seven Kingdoms, with Eddard Stark revealing what he has discovered to Cersei Lannister while King Robert is still away on a hunt. The title of the episode is part of a quote from Cersei Lannister during the final confrontation with Eddard: \"\"When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground.\"\" The catchphrase has been frequently used during the promotion of both the books and the television series. [ 2]The episode was generally well received by critics for its well-acted dramatic tension, but with several criticizing the coupling of exposition and nudity as \"\" sexposition \"\"."

"text": "\"Capitalization Rules Capitalization is the writing of a word with its first letter in uppercase and the remaining letters in lowercase. Experienced writers are stingy with capitals. It is best not to use them if there is any doubt. Rule 1. Capitalize the first word of a document and the first word after a period. Rule 2. Capitalize proper nouns—and adjectives derived from proper nouns. Examples:the Golden Gate Bridge the Grand Canyon a Russian song a Shakespearean sonnet a Freudian slip With the passage of time, some words originally derived from proper nouns have taken on a life, and authority, of their own and no longer require capitalization. Examples:herculean (from the ancient-Greek hero Hercules) quixotic (from the hero of the classic novel Don Quixote) draconian (from ancient-Athenian lawgiver Draco)The main function of capitals is to focus attention on particular elements within any group of people, places, or things. We can speak of a lake in the middle of the country, or we can be more specific and say Lake Michigan, which distinguishes it from every other lake on earth."

"text": "\"ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONSthe requirements and patterns to development Edited By: Robert Guisepi The Ancient City of Jericho The term civilization basically means the level of development at which people live together peacefully in communities. Ancient civilization refers specifically to the first settled and stable communities that became the basis for later states, nations, and empires. The study of ancient civilization is concerned with the earliest segments of the much broader subject called ancient history. The span of ancient history began with the invention of writing in about 3100 BC and lasted for more than 35 centuries. Mankind existed long before the written word, but writing made the keeping of a historical record possible. The first ancient societies arose in Mesopotamia and Egypt in the Middle East, in the Indus Valley region of modern Pakistan, in the Huang He (Yellow River) valley of China, on the island of Crete in the Aegean Sea, and in Central America. All of these civilizations had certain features in common. They built cities, invented forms of writing, learned to make pottery and use metals, domesticated animals, and created fairly complex social structures with class systems. Apart from written records and carved inscriptions, the knowledge about ancient peoples is derived from the work of archaeologists. Most of the significant archaeological findings have been made in the past 200 years."

In order to be deductible, a business expense must be considered both ordinary and necessary. \"\" Ordinary\"\" expenses are ones that are common in a particular industry, and \"\"necessary\"\" expenses are those that are helpful to conducting business. Cost of goods expenses, personal expenses and capital expenses are distinguished from business expenses, meaning that deducting costs from receipts in order to determine profits precludes those costs from also being deducted as a business expense.

Encompassing carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids, macromolecules exhibit a number of similarities. For example, all except lipids are long chains made up of smaller building blocks, and digestion reduces the size of macromolecules so your body can absorb their component parts. However, they also demonstrate distinct differences. Carbohydrates Carbohydrates consist of single-sugar units called monosaccharides, double-monosaccharide units known as disaccharides and multiple-monosaccharide molecules that make up starches. The predominant purpose of the carbohydrates you eat is to provide fuel to your cells. Disaccharides and starches undergo digestion to reduce them to their individual sugars, and, once absorbed, they travel to the cells and tissues throughout your body to power your physical activities. A special type of carbohydrate, known as fiber, passes through your gut undigested. While fiber doesn’t provide you with cellular energy, it improves your digestive health by regulating your bowel function."

"text": "\"Naturally Cultured Yogurt, A High-Class Health Food Yogurt has been part of the human diet for thousands of years. And good thing, because all natural yogurt is one of the most nutritious foods available to us—it’s rich in vitamins and minerals and it provides an excellent source of calcium and protein. All of these nutritional benefits are the building blocks of healthy body tissues, and all are essential for gastro-intestinal health. What is Yogurt? Yogurt is milk that has been inoculated with live active cultures such as Lactobacillus bulgaricus ( L. bulgaricus) and Streptococcus thermophilus ( S. thermophilus ). The active cultures break down the sugars in milk to produce lactic acid. If you drink milk, your body has to go through the process of breaking it down to produce lactic acid. With yogurt however, this process is done before you eat it, so in Ayurvedic medicine (which has recommended yogurt as a medicinal food for thousands of years), it is considered to be a \"\"pre-digested\"\" food – one that is very easy on the digestive system. Cup Full of Benefits Since it is a pre-digested food, the nutrients of yogurt are rapidly absorbed by the digestive tract and assimilated into the body tissues. The live active cultures in yogurt are known as probiotics – beneficial bacteria that naturally reside in your digestive tract."

Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The purpose of protein synthesis is to create chemical compounds called proteins. They serve different crucial purposes in the human body. For example, enzymes are a type of protein that reduces the total amount of energy needed for a chemical reaction to take place. This allows your body to carry out biological processes at a lower energy cost, thus making your body more efficient. Source (s):previous knowledge Pian-o-matic · 7 years ago0 1 Comment Protein synthesis is just the fancy way of saying \"\"making proteins\"\". Proteins are one of the three main groups of molecules needed for life; the others are carbohydrates and fats. We eat protein when we eat meats such as beef, pork, chicken, fish and lamb. What we are actually eating is the animal's muscles, and muscles are made of protein. Proteins come in all shapes and sizes and these molecules have a huge variety of functions."

"text": "Metabolic processes are sequences of biochemical reactions that take place within living cells to maintain life. They can be divided into two main types. Catabolic processes, or pathways, involve the breakdown of complex molecules from food into smaller units that can be used as building blocks for new molecules or to provide energy. Anabolic pathways involve the use of energy to build new chemicals that become components of cells. These reactions are made possible by a number of organic catalysts known as enzymes. Together, the two types of metabolic processes allow the transformation of the raw materials, or nutrients, that are taken in by an organism into tissue. One compound, common to all cellular life, is essential to these transformations. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is used to store energy obtained from nutrients, such as carbohydrates, and to release energy when it is required for the building of new molecules. Catabolic Processes Some organisms, such as green plants, make their own food from inorganic materials, while others, such as animals, consume organic materials to obtain their nutrition. The food consumed by animals can be broken down into three main types — carbohydrates, lipids (fats and oils), and proteins."

Polysaccharides are made from monosaccharides, proteins from amino acids, nucleic acids from nucleotides, lipids from fatty acids and glycerol. 2. Polysaccharides, proteins and nucleic acids are formed from repeating identical or similar subunits called monomers, and are therefore polymers. These build up into large molecules called macromolecules. 3. The smaller units are joined together by condensation reactions. Condensation involves removal of water. The reverse process, adding water, is called hydrolysis and is used to break the large molecules back down into smaller molecules."

"text": "Trypsin is part of the digestive system and degrades proteins, making it an enzyme known as a protease. It is initially formed as a larger, inactive molecule in the pancreas and is transported to the small intestine, where it is activated to digest food molecules. This protease is also a regulator of many other digestive proteases. A lack of its production in the pancreas is a component of the disorder cystic fibrosis. Food that is made up of proteins is partially broken down in the stomach by proteases, and the smaller pieces travel into the small intestine. Proteases are enzymes that speed up the breakdown of proteins. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and they are linked together by peptide bonds. The end goal of the digestion of proteins is to degrade them to amino acids, which can be utilized in cellular metabolism. Trypsin is originally synthesized in the pancreas in a form known as trypsinogen, a zymogen. This larger molecule is inactive until it is transported to the small intestine and acted upon by enteropeptidase, another type of protease."

Genetics and Human Health: A Primer DNA, RNA, genes and chromosomes [2]2.2 Every cell in the human body contains a nucleus, with the exception of red blood cells, which lose this structure as they mature. Within the nucleus are tightly coiled threadlike structures known as chromosomes (see Figure 1). Every chromosome has a long arm and a short arm, with a pinch point known as a ‘centromere’. Humans normally have 23 pairs of chromosomes, one member of each pair derived from the mother and one from the father (see Figure 2). One those pairs consists of the sex chromosomes—with two X chromosomes determining femaleness, and one X and one Y determining maleness. The other 22 chromosomes are known as ‘autosomes’.2.3 Each chromosome has within it, arranged end-to-end, hundreds or thousands of genes (see Figure 3), [3] each with a specific location, consisting of the inherited genetic material known as DNA. Some chromosomes are significantly larger than others, and some are more densely packed with genes. Under the standard system of identification, scientists have numbered these autosomes from 1–22 in size order (that is, the number of base pairs), [4] with chromosome 1 being the largest (279 million base pairs, and an estimated 2968 genes). [ 5] Of the sex chromosomes, the X (163 million base pairs and an estimated 1184 genes) is similar in size to chromosome 7, while the Y is the smallest chromosome (51 million base pairs and an estimated 231 genes).

Well, it is. The act of chewing (the technical term for it is mastication) is the first step in digesting. Your body must break down food into smaller and smaller pieces so that the nutrients contained in the food can be released from the food and used by your body. After all, the true purpose of eating and digestion is to gain nutrients to keep your body functioning. Mmmm. . . . Your mouth is a busy place During mechanical digestion, the teeth start breaking down the food into smaller bits, but the rest of your mouth gets involved, too. Your taste buds detect the chemicals that make up the food you are eating — such as carbohydrate, protein, fat — so that the appropriate enzymes are produced and secreted throughout your digestive system. Your saliva contains an enzyme that starts breaking down long carbohydrate molecules as soon as you put food in your mouth. Salivary amylase is the enzyme that begins splitting apart the bonds between glucose molecules in a long chain of starch."

History, language, customs, and an Islamic heritage make Algeria an integral part of the Maghrib and the larger Arab world, but the country also has a sizable Amazigh (Berber) population, with links to that cultural tradition. Once the breadbasket of the Roman Empire, the territory now comprising Algeria was ruled by various Arab-Amazigh dynasties from the 8th through the 16th century, when it became part of the Ottoman Empire. The decline of the Ottomans was followed by a brief period of independence that ended when France launched a war of conquest in 1830. Algeria Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. By 1847 the French had largely suppressed Algerian resistance to the invasion and the following year made Algeria a département of France.

They have been denied their basic and advanced human rights, as they were persecuted to varying degrees in most of the above countries.

One cannot argue with the installed, oppressive despots of the region at large, but after the (staged) uprisings in North Africa, Moroccans at last overwhelmingly voted for a referendum to recognise Berber language as an official language in the constitution, while Libya's NTC made no mention of \"\"Berber\"\" as an official language in its unjust \"\"Constitutional Declaration\"\", despite the Berbers' pivotal role in capturing crucial Tripoli. The perplexed term Berberism is generally used to describe the thriving \"\"political movement (s) of the Berber populations of North Africa\"\". Berberists are the Berber activists who campaign for greater cultural and political freedom for the Berbers or Imazighen of North Africa. Their initial activities primarily revolved around cultural revival, picking the loose pieces, and increasing awareness of the Berbers' persecuted state; followed by an exuberant growth of cultural associations to document the great efforts of the pioneers and the martyrs of the Berbers' cultural revolution – the peaceful revolution, of course; before they began to internationally campaign for the recognition of their unique identity and Berber language Tamazight as one of the official languages of the various countries of North Africa, as well as FOR an immediate end to the economic neglect they were made to endure under \"\"imposed\"\" dictatorship, corrupt monarchies, and colonial intruders. Thence the Amazigh World Congress (AWC) was created in exile, allegedly, to organise the political and cultural movements of the diaspora and to fight oppression in a jubilant world seemingly too alien to them and to their dire needs. The Imazighen of North Africa have suffered for decades, if not for centuries, from exclusion, atrocities and marginalisation at the hands of the highest authorities and their instruments of brutality; imprisoning, torturing and assassinating writers, intellectuals and Berberists, and collectively punishing whole communities for failing to abandon their \"\"identity\"\" and embrace that of tyranny instead; eventually yielding neglect, poverty, alienation and the agonising attempts to destroy their historical legacy – the untold saga of human's longest misery in history – the massacre of identity."

"text": "\"Margari Hill, Stanford University January 2009 available in PDF format ( 1.14 MB )While the presence of Islam in West Africa dates back to eighth century, the spread of the faith in regions that are now the modern states of Senegal, Gambia, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali and Nigeria, was in actuality, a gradual and complex process. Much of what we know about the early history of West Africa comes from medieval accounts written by Arab and North African geographers and historians. Specialists have used several models to explain why Africans converted to Islam. Some emphasize economic motivations, others highlight the draw of Islam’s spiritual message, and a number stress the prestige and influence of Arabic literacy in facilitating state building. While the motivations of early conversions remain unclear, it is apparent that the early presence of Islam in West Africa was linked to trade and commerce with North Africa. Trade between West Africa and the Mediterranean predated Islam, however, North African Muslims intensified the Trans-Saharan trade. North African traders were major actors in introducing Islam into West Africa. Several major trade routes connected Africa below the Sahara with the Mediterranean Middle East, such as Sijilmasa to Awdaghust and Ghadames to Gao. The Sahel, the ecological transition zone between the Sahara desert and forest zone, which spans the African continent, was an intense point of contact between North Africa and communities south of the Sahara.

The beginning of the legend can be traced to 1324, when the Emperor of Mali made his pilgrimage to Mecca via Cairo. In Cairo, the merchants and traders were impressed by the amount of gold carried by the emperor, who claimed that the gold was from Timbuktu. Furthermore, in 1354 the great Muslim explorer Ibn Batuta wrote of his visit to Timbuktu and told of the wealth and gold of the region."

Berbers or Amazighs ( Berber languages: ⵉⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖⵏ Imaziɣen; singular: ⴰⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖ Amaziɣ / Amazigh) are an ethnic group indigenous to North Africa, primarily inhabiting the Maghreb. They are distributed in an area stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Siwa Oasis in Egypt, and from the Mediterranean Sea to the Niger River in West Africa. Historically, they spoke Berber languages, which together form the Berber branch of the Afroasiatic family. Since the Muslim conquest of North Africa in the seventh century, a large number of Berbers inhabiting the Maghreb ( Tamazgha) have in varying degrees used as lingua franca the other languages spoken in North Africa. After the colonization of North Africa by France, \"\"the French government succeeded in integrating the French language in Algeria by making French the official national language and requiring all education to take place in French.\"\" [ 31] Foreign languages, mainly French and to some degree Spanish, inherited from former European colonial powers, are used by most educated Berbers in Algeria and Morocco in some formal contexts, such as higher education or business."

The Mali empire developed from the state of Kangaba, on the Upper Niger River east of the Fouta Djallon, and is said to have been founded before ad 1000. The Malinke inhabitants of Kangaba acted as middlemen in the gold trade during the later period of ancient Ghana. Their dislike of the Susu chief Sumanguru’s harsh but ineffective rule provoked the Malinke to revolt, and in 1230 Sundiata, the brother of Kangaba’s fugitive ruler, won a decisive victory against the Susu chief. ( The name Mali absorbed the name Kangaba at about this time. ) In extending Mali’s rule beyond Kangaba’s narrow confines, Sundiata set a precedent for successive emperors. Imperial armies secured the gold-bearing lands of Bondu and Bambuk to the south, subdued the Diara in the northwest, and pushed along the Niger as far north as Lac Débo. Under Mansa Mūsā (1307–32?) Mali rose to the apogee of its power. He controlled the lands of the Middle Niger, absorbed into his empire the trading cities of Timbuktu and Gao, and imposed his rule on such south Saharan cities as Walata and on the Taghaza region of salt deposits to the north."

After independence from France in 1960, Mali suffered droughts, rebellions, a coup and 23 years of military dictatorship until democratic elections in 1992. In 2013, France intervened militarily upon the government's request following the capture of the town of Konna and its troops overran Islamist strongholds. Authorities agreed a United Nations-sponsored ceasefire with Tuareg separatists in 2015, but parts of the country remain tense, with Tuareg rebels sporadically active.

The history of West Africa began with the first human settlements around 4,000 BCE. It has been commonly divided into its prehistory, the Iron Age in Africa, the major polities flourishing, the colonial period, and finally the post-independence era, in which the current nations were formed. West Africa is west of an imagined north-south axis lying close to 10° east longitude, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and Sahara Desert. Colonial boundaries are reflected in the modern boundaries between contemporary West African states, cutting across ethnic and cultural lines, often dividing single ethnic groups between two or more states. Early human settlers arrived in West Africa around 12,000 BCE. In the fifth millennium, as the ancestors of modern West Africans began entering the area, the development of sedentary farming began to take place in West Africa. The Iron industry, in both smelting and forging for tools and weapons, appeared in Sub-Saharan Africa by 1200 BCE, and by 400 BCE, contact had been made with the Mediterranean civilisations, and a regular trade included exporting gold, cotton, metal, and leather in exchange for copper, horses, salt, textiles, and beads. Culture developed further with the Nok culture (1000 BCE to 200 or 300 BCE), Serer people 's ancient history, and construction of the Senegambian stone circles (between the third century B. C. and the sixteenth century C. E.). The Sahelian kingdoms were a series of kingdoms or empires that were built on the sahel, the area of grasslands south of the Sahara."

It left an indelible mark on the world with its construction techniques, advanced irrigation and farming systems, its system of mathematics and medicine and its popular Pharaohs. Other kingdoms came into existence after the Egyptian era, and below are 10 of the most significant ones: The Axum Empire The Axum Empire [also known as Aksum Empire] was located in modern day northern Ethiopia and Eritrea, and rose to prominence and prestige around 100 BC. The empire was an important marketplace for ivory, which it exported throughout the ancient world. It also traded in exotic animal skin and gold with other countries in the ancient world, which resulted in abundant wealth and power. It built a centralized state that tightly controlled its people. The empire’s geographical location enabled it to benefit from trade and moving goods as it took advantage of the trading system that linked the Roman Empire with India. Their Adulis port by the red sea became the main port for export, and by the third century, Axum had succeeded Meroë, the capital of Kush, in becoming the supplier of African goods to the Roman Empire. It is also the first African empire to manufacture its own coins."

The adaptation of Islam in the Mali empire was a source of controversy among historians and the different arguments will be outlined.

Historians tend to point to the first king of Mali as Barmandana, who converted in 1050, mentioned by Ibn-Khaldun, a famed Arab historian/traveler. [ 2]For Barmamdana, converting to Islam had many advantages politically and economically. Caravans coming to and from Mali were subjected to raids from Arab-Berber/Muslim tribes living within the empire. When the conversion of Islam took place, these tribes were able to work in the government of the empire. Tribes also had to pay tribute to the Mali government, caravans were now protected and secure.

Source (s): RNessentiallysolo · 10 years ago0 0 Comment Asker's rating What is the main difference between arteries and veins? In simplest terms, arteries pump oxygen-rich blood FROM the heart, veins return oxygen-depleted blood TO the heart. Differences between types of blood vessels Here are some of the key differences between the two main types of blood vessels: Arteries Take blood away from the heart Walls are thick and elastic Transports oxygenated blood Has small lumen Has a pulse and blood travels in spurts Has no valves thick muscle layers with elastic fibers Veins Take blood to the heart Walls are thin Transports de-oxygenated blood Has large lumen Has no pulse and blood travels smoothly Has valves thin muslce layers with elastic fibers Veins have no pulse-unlike arteries, there is no pump to push the blood through the venal system. Veins fight gravity to get the blood from the feet to the heart by using small and large muscular contractions that massage the veins, and push the blood along. Any small movement of the leg muscles push the blood on up - soldiers who have to stand still on parade for long periods of time have to wiggle their toes to keep the blood moving Differences You can distinguish between an artery and a vein based upon the pull-back - if you have hit an artery, the blood inside the needle will be bright red and foamy, due to the concentrated amount of oxygen in the blood of an artery. Most of the time there is no problem because veins are closer to the surface of the skin, although not all of these are safe (i.e. hands, wrists, and neck should be avoided)."

Explain please. :] I'm very curious.1 following 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: arteries are the blood vessels that carries blood away the heart, usually the blood that is leaving the blood is oxygenated (in the general circulatory system,) however the blood that leaves the heart to get to the lungs (pulmonary circulatory system) is de-oxygenated (thats the reason why its going to the lung in the first place.) The opposite for veins, the ones that carries blood toward the heart are usually de-oxygenated unless they are carrying blood to the heart but they come from the lung, in this case they are oxygenated. Keep in mind that vein/arteries definitions does not depend on the kind of blood they transport but rather in whether they transport it toward or away from the heart, it happens though, that the blood that is carried away from the heart is USUALLY oxygenated, and the blood that is going into the heart is USUALLY de-oxygenated.

"text": "Science & Mathematics Medicine Where does pulmonary circulation begin , and where does it end? Follow 15 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Pulmonary circulation is the movement of blood from the heart, to the lungs, and back to the heart again. This is just one phase of the overall circulatory system. The veins bring waste-rich blood back to the heart, entering the right atrium throughout two large veins called vena cavae. The right atrium fills with the waste-rich blood and then contracts, pushing the blood through a one-way valve into the right ventricle. The right ventricle fills and then contracts, pushing the blood into the pulmonary artery which leads to the lungs. In the lung capillaries, the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen takes place. The fresh, oxygen-rich blood enters the pulmonary veins and then returns to the heart, re-entering through the left atrium. The oxygen-rich blood then passes through a one-way valve into the left ventricle where it will exit the heart through the main artery, called the aorta. The left ventricle's contraction forces the blood into the aorta and the blood begins its journey throughout the body."

When veins become abnormally thick, full of twists and turns, or enlarged, they are called varicose vein. This happens most commonly in the veins in the legs and thighs. The thickened, twisting or dilated parts of the vein are called varicosities. Varicose veins can form anywhere in the body, but they are most often located in the legs. Varicose veins tend to be inherited, and become more prominent as a person ages. Veins in the leg are either superficial or deep. The superficial veins and their branches are close to the skin."

However, is there anything that would cause the veins to \"\"suddenly\"\" start bulging out more? I've also had issues with my hands feeling a bit more sore occasionally. Could this be related? Sorry if the category is inapproriate, but I couldn't find a better one. Did you find this post helpful?"

"text": "Science & Mathematics Biology How do the arteries and veins differ from each other?1 following 11 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: ARTERIES are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. In general (Not always!!! as some people think) arteries carry oxygenated blood. The two exceptions are the pulmonary artery and the umbilical artery (umbilical artery is in the foetus). VEINS are blood vessels that carry blood toward the heart. Venous blood is poor in oxygen , with the exceptions being the pulmonary vein and the umbilical vein (umbilical vein in the foetus). The structure of arteries and veins also differ. ARTERIES are elastic and thick, because they need to transport high-pressure blood. The walls of arteries contain smooth muscle fibre that contract and relax under the instructions of the sympathetic nervous system. The walls of VEINS consist of three layers of tissues that are thinner and less elastic than the corresponding layers of aerteries."

Blood vessels that take blood away from the heart are arteries. Arteries divide into smaller arteries as they go away from the heart. The smaller arteries that connect to the capillaries, are called arterioles. Blood vessels that take blood towards the heart are veins. Veins get bigger as they go towards the heart. The smallest veins are called venules. Capillaries go between arteries and veins. Capillaries are quite thin, hence the name which comes from the Latin capillus [1] meaning \"\"hair. \"\" So blood moves: heart → artery → arteriole → capillary → venule → vein → heart."

"text": "0Question: What is the biggest vain in the body? Asked by wildrosa to Hywel, Keith on 25 Jun 2010 in Categories: General.0Hywel Vaughan answered on 25 Jun 2010: Hi wildrosa, The biggest vein in the body is the ‘inferior vena cava’ – this is the vein that returns the blood from the bottom of your body to your heart The blood is de-oxygenated, and enters the right atrium of your heart – this is at the lower right, back side of your heart. The vein is behind your abdomen and runs next to your spine…0Keith Brain answered on 25 Jun 2010: Interesting. First, lets think about the fattest (widest) vein: Veins tend to get bigger as they get closer to the heart (because they’re draining blood from more places, so need to be able to cope with bigger flows. So, the biggest vein from the body going back into the heart is probably the last one … except that there are two “last ones”, the superior and inferior vena cavae. However, because there is more blood flow from the lower parts of the body, I’d suppose that its going to be the inferior vena cava. However, there are a few potential tricks here … (1) The entire blood flow has to pass back from the lungs to the heart through the pulmonary veins, so these are big, but there are several of them, so I’d guess that these are smaller (2) Lots of blood flows to the gut (which extends from the oesophagus [the food pipe in your neck] all the way down to your rectum … the far end …) and it all has to flow through the liver, ultimately through a very big vein called the hepatic portal vein. However, this blood still has to flow into the inferior vena cava, so .. I think its the inferior vena cava, or “IVC” for short!Secondly, what’s the longest? Well, the IVC is fairly long (stretching almost the length of the abdomen and about half the length of the chest), but legs are quite long … so, I’ve checked it out on me (with a tape measure, using where I estimate the veins to start and end) and I think that longest vein in the body will be the longest one in the legs: the great saphenous vein."

The vessel closes soon after birth because The fetus doesn't use their lungs until after they are born, so they are getting oxygenated blood from their mother. In most of the body, the arteries carry oxygenated blood and the veins carry deoxygenated blood. The exception to this pattern is the heart. Specific arteries and veins of the heart are different from the pattern seen in the rest of the body because Arteries carry blood away from the heart, and veins bring blood to the heart. The exception to this pattern is that blood from the pulmonary artery is oxygenated blood that actually goes to the lungs. The mechanisms put in place to prevent blood from flowing in the wrong direction through the heart is the valves."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Medicine Why does atherosclerosis not affect veins? Why isn't the thrombosis of veins as dangerous as that of arteries? I am confused (.com)..lol please you explain as fully as possible... I don't understand all of these medical terms1 following 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Atherosclerosis is a process that occurs in areas of high shear stress. The plaques tend to form as a result of injury to the blood vessel linings, influx of fatty materials, and then clearance of that material by macrophages which are a cell type involved in cleaning up messes in the body. The fat laden macrophages are eventually encased in a fibrotic plaque where the muscular layer of the arterty appears to thicken in compensation for the events mentioned above. It's ultimately a complex process that results, in part, from the dragging/shearing force of the high-pressure high-speed blood going by. This is why it's a problem of arteries and not veins. Arteries have lots of shear stress, and veins have almost none. People with arterial disease are at risk of having these plaques \"\"rupture\"\" and either send chunks of fibrous plaque tumbling downstream, or else the rupture itself starts forming a blood clot to seal the hole and it instead seals off the whole artery. Either way, solid material can block the artery at some location."

The lower part consists of the lower part of the trachea, bronchi, and lungs (which contain bronchioles and alveoli). The nose and nasal cavity The nose is the only external part of the respiratory system. It is made of bone and cartilage (tough connective tissue) and is covered with skin. The two openings to the outside, called nostrils, allow air to enter or leave the body during breathing."

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

"text": "\"What Patients Should Know in Decision Making Written by Gregory T. Wolf, M. D. Head and Neck Oncology Program; Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery Cancers arising in the larynx (voice box) are devastating malignancies that account for roughly 200,000 deaths annually worldwide. Although this only represents 2-5% of all malignancies, these cancers have special importance because of their significant effects on voice, swallowing and quality of life. In the United States, it is estimated that over 12,000 new cases are diagnosed each year and that this incidence is increasing during a time that many other cancers are decreasing. Tobacco use is known to be the major predisposing factor for laryngeal cancer. However, alcohol use, nutritional deficiencies, genetic predisposition and viral factors may also play a role. The vast majority (85-90%) of cancers of the larynx are squamous cell carcinomas that arise from the covering of the vocal cords. Common Symptoms of Laryngeal or Voice Box Cancer Common symptoms are hoarseness, painful swallowing, earache or development of a mass in the neck. When diagnosed early, these cancers are readily curable. Modern treatment approaches have become increasingly complex, as sophisticated methods have been developed to try and preserve vocal function. Because of this, a variety of treatment options are available and selecting the optimal treatment has become a complex and often confusing process for patients."

"text": "\"Gross Anatomy The larynx is located within the anterior aspect of the neck, anterior to the inferior portion of the pharynx and superior to the trachea. Its primary function is to protect the lower airway by closing abruptly upon mechanical stimulation, thereby halting respiration and preventing the entry of foreign matter into the airway. Other functions of the larynx include the production of sound (phonation), coughing, the Valsalva maneuver, and control of ventilation, and acting as a sensory organ. The larynx is composed of 3 large, unpaired cartilages (cricoid, thyroid, epiglottis); 3 pairs of smaller cartilages (arytenoids, corniculate, cuneiform); and a number of intrinsic muscles (see the image and video below). The hyoid bone, while technically not part of the larynx, provides muscular attachments from above that aid in laryngeal motion. [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]Larynx anatomy.

The nose and paranasal sinuses are part of the upper respiratory tract. The functions of the nose include the sense of smell and conditioning of inhaled air by warming it and making it more humid. Hairs inside the nose prevent large particles from entering the lungs. Nasal mucosa and cilia help prevent pathogens and dust from reaching the lungs. Sneezing helps remove foreign particles that irritate the nasal mucosa. The paranasal sinuses are air-filled spaces around the nasal cavity that have many possible functions.

"text": "Check out Karyn's channel for more informative, practical content!The Larynx: Structure and Function (Page 1 of 3)Most singers and speakers are aware of the existence of the larynx, colloquially known as the 'voice box', but understand very little about its structure and function, and the role of the vocal folds, (formerly called 'vocal cords'), in voice production and in the creation of pitch. While I don't believe that it is necessary for a singer to memorize all the parts and functions of the individual structures within the throat - we can leave that for the medical students - I do believe that gaining a better understanding of how the larynx works and what the vocal folds are and do can help a student of voice achieve technical proficiency and maintain vocal health. My intention in this section is to provide some basic information about the highly complex structure of the larynx, and how the primary structures of the larynx affect vocal function. I'll attempt to make descriptions and explanations as succinct and as clear as possible, and focus only on the principle cartilages, joints, bones, ligaments and muscles that help to produce the voice. However, given that the parts that make up the larynx are intricate and function in unique ways, and given that scientific and/or medical terms are sometimes the best ones (or the only ones) to use when discussing human anatomy, it may be impossible to truly simplify everything as much as I would like to. My suggestion is that singers thoroughly read the following sections and attempt to understand and learn whatever they can. Again, what is most important is that the student of voice gains a glimpse into the fascinating and complex - far more complex than any other instrument - structure that produces the voice and comes to develop a better appreciation for his or her built-in instrument.

During this period US Air Force and Navy aircraft engaged in a bombing campaign designed to force Ho Chi Minh to abandon his ambition to take over South Vietnam. The operation began primarily as a diplomatic signal to impress Hanoi with America's determination, essentially a warning that the violence would escalate until Ho Chi Minh \"\"blinked,\"\" and secondly it was intended to bolster the sagging morale of the South Vietnamese. The Johnson administration also imposed strict limits on the targets that could be attacked, for China and the Soviet Union were seen as defenders of communism who might intervene if the North Vietnamese faced defeat. Consequently, the administration tried to punish the North without provoking the two nations believed to be its protectors. By the beginning of 1965, the situation in South Vietnam was rapidly reaching crisis proportions. The three basic choices available to the United States were not particularly palatable. The United States could continue with a role essentially limited to aid and advisory action and risk humiliation if the situation continued to deteriorate and South Vietnamese resistance collapsed. Alternatively, the United States could recognize that the situation was irretrievable and cease to support the South Vietnamese. Such a “cut-and-run” strategy, many believed, might cast other American collective defense commitments in doubt and undermine important alliance arrangements."

The idea of an armored warship was not new; the Vikings used to line the sides of their longships with their shields, several shipbuilders came up with the idea of a ship encased in lead, and, most famously, the Koreans built a \"\"turtle\"\" ship in the sixteenth century, armored with iron and propelled by oars. None of these really led to further warship designs, so they are only historical curiosities. The steam-propelled ironclads of the 1800s, on the other hand, led directly to the warships of today. At about the same time, shipbuilders began to experiment with using iron instead of wood to build the hulls of ships. Having an iron hull didn't make a ship an ironclad, though. There were ironclads with wooden hulls, just as there were unarmored ships with iron hulls. As a comparison, consider the difference between a normal passenger car and a tank. They're both made of steel, but the steel body of the car isn't really armor, while the tank's steel is much thicker and is arranged in special ways to deflect shot."

"text": "Rolling Thunder 1965: Anatomy of a Failureby Col Dennis M. Drew Abstract The Vietnam War was many things to many people. It represented, among many other things, the clash between the views and objectives of America’s civilian leadership and traditional military doctrine. It illustrated thedifficulty in prosecuting a conventional war against an unconventional enemy and in waging a limited war against an enemy waging an essentially unlimited war. The Rolling Thunder campaign, the longest sustained aerial bombingcampaign in history, was a microcosm of the problems the United States faced in the war as a whole. American air power doctrine was based on the concept of strategic bombardment, a concept based on two fundamental assumptions. The first assumption was that any American war would be waged to destroy the enemy’s ability to wage modernwarfare. The second assumed that any enemy the United States might engage would be a modern industrialized state. In Vietnam, neither assumption held true. The American objective, when engaging the North Vietnamese, was to persuade the North Vietnamese to desist in their support ofthe war in South Vietnam. Further, North Vietnam was anything but a modern industrialized state."

"text": "Angel Thunder – Personnel Recovery Exercise By John Friberg 07.01.2016 #Military News Email Share Tweet One of the missions that special operations forces are sometimes tasked with is Personnel Recovery (PR). Personnel Recovery is the sum of military, diplomatic and civil efforts to effect the recovery and return of military, Do D civilians and contractors, and others who are isolated, missing or captured. The premier exercise – at least from the U. S. Air Force perspective – for Personnel Recovery is the Angel Thunder Exercise [1] held in the Southwestern United States each year. Angel Thunder is considered to be the world’s largest combat search and rescue exercise. The Angel Thunder exercise was established in 2006 at Davis-Monthan AFB. The Air Force unit responsible for planning the exercise is Detachment 1 of the 414 th Combat Training Squadron at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona. Participants of the Angel Thunder exercise include many of the military services, U. S. governmental agencies, and members of foreign nations. The number of individual participants will sometimes reach up to 2,000 with over 80 aircraft taking part in the exercise. Air Force participants include air crews flying the HC-130J Combat King and the HH-60G Pave Hawk. Other Air Force personnel are Pararescuemen (PJs), Combat Rescue Officers, and SERE specialists."

The Gates of Ahn'Qiraj can only be opened by a series of player-driven quests (part of which is the Ahn'Qiraj War Effort. When completed, this triggers a World Event, and the gates open. Once the gates are open, the spoils of the kingdom will be available for anyone on the server that can rise to the challenge. Although the instance was not activated until 1.9, the Scarab Wall (the gate to Ahn'Qiraj) has been present since early on in the game's release."

The Staff of Ice shoots blasts of ice when fired, and similarly to the Winter's Howl, will slow down zombies, eventually freezing them and cracking them apart. Once upgraded to the Ull's Arrow, it functions the same as its previous version, however its blast of ice has more range and a wider area of effect. The player can also hold down the firing button in order to charge it up, at the cost of more ammo per charged shot. When charged and released, it fires an initial blast of ice, then expands in a circle, creating a blizzard attracting nearby zombies towards it and instantly freezing and killing them. If a player shoots three burning wagons located around the map with the ice staff, a Zombie Blood will appear at the top of the excavation site. This can be done once every round. The three wagons are located: Just outside the excavation site, by the MP-40 wall-buy. By the footprint with the stone chest outside of Generator 5 and Stamin-Up . Just outside of the trenches behind the excavation site, (the Church), more towards Generator 4."

To let your Xbox One console communicate with Xbox Live, you might have to open or forward ports, which means you'll be making a configuration change to your firewall or network hardware, such as a router. Port forwarding for Xbox One is done on your router or other network hardware, not on the Xbox console itself. Ports required to use Xbox Live These ports must be open for Xbox Live to work: Port 88 (UDP)Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)Port 53 (UDP and TCP)Port 80 (TCP)Port 500 (UDP)Port 3544 (UDP)Port 4500 (UDP)Note Some game developers require you to open additional ports. You should always check the game developer's website to see if the game you're playing needs additional ports to work. We've gathered some ports you might need and have added them to the Additional Network Ports for Multiplayer Gaming forum. If you're connected to a network through your workplace or school, ask the network administrator to open these ports. If you receive a NAT warning when you connect to Xbox Live, see the Xbox One Multiplayer Game Solution. How to set up port forwarding To get information about how to configure your compatible network hardware, go to the Networking Hardware Information forums.

Microsoft’s Windows 10 update is about as friendly as Windows software upgrades get and that has some people worried. Microsoft isn’t charging home users running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 to upgrade to Windows 10. That’s hard for users to accept in itself, new upgrades of Windows have cost over $100 in the past. Second, the Windows 10 release has ushered in tons of other consumer friendly ideas from the company. Office Mobile, is completely free for devices with screen sizes smaller than 10-inches. Microsoft’s Xbox Live multiplayer gaming service is coming to the operating system for users absolutely free of charge. Read: Windows 10 Review – A Love Affair Suspicious minds have leveled all sorts of charges at Windows 10, claiming that the operating system does everything from log what users are doing, to scanning their video games to make sure they aren’t stolen. Some even claim that Microsoft is pulling a bait and switch, hoping to get more users to download the Windows 10 upgrade so that it can charge them for large future upgrades down the road."

But what exactly does that mean? And why can such major, (generally) secure services be impacted by these attacks? Denial-of-service attacks have been around for the equivalent of eons in the internet age. Online video game services are no strangers to being targets of DDo S attacks; previous generations of gaming have experienced them, though there has been a frequent spate of successful attacks against multiple gaming networks over the past year that have included Battle.net and specific games in addition to XBL and PSN. Why are they so difficult to defend against? We reached out to security experts to shed some light on the issue. ( We also contacted several video game publishers, but they declined to comment. )"

"text": "Lorrie Shaw | Contributor It's that time of year again, and a running joke amongst those who share life with pets is that it would be great to be able to claim them on yearly tax returns. Really, it's an idea that has been traditionally approached from a tongue-in-cheek perspective. But in 2011, you'll remember that I wrote about proposed legislation with regard to allowing some deductions in one state, and here in Michigan, the HAPPY Act was put on the table Despite any snickers from those who scoff at the notion, there are some instances where tax deductions are allowable if you have a dog. As noted on Dogster, if the status of your pooch falls in a certain category, the government might just cut you a bit of a break. Pets in transition Two instances may apply to many households and really don't seem that outlandish. Fostering a pet is a rewarding way to help impact the issue of homeless pets. They get a chance to be in a stable home environment — and in some cases, better socialized — and as a result their chances of being rehomed are higher. Those who foster pets in their home may be able to deduct the costs associated with their care, like food, vet care and more. Adoption is a common way to welcome a pet to the family, and some fees related to the adoption may be deductible. Not-so-common instances that may apply You might be interested to know that there are other cases might be the case in a smaller part of the population."

The Court of First Instance went on to hold that ‘it would be incorrect ... to dissociate the activity of purchasing goods from the subsequent use to which they are put’, and that ‘the nature of the purchasing activity must ... be determined according to whether or not the subsequent use of the purchased goods amounts to an economic activity’. In particular, what, if any, discussions took place in relation to the rights of those holders?

Since it is the activity consisting in offering goods and services on a given market that is the characteristic feature of an economic activity, the CFI rightly deduced, in the judgment under appeal, that there is no need to dissociate the activity of purchasing goods from the subsequent useto which they are put in order to determine the nature of that purchasing activity, and that the nature of the purchasing activity must be determined according to whether or not the subsequent use of the purchased goods amounts to an economic activity. The Court of First Instance rightly deduced that there is no need to dissociate the activity of purchasing goods from the subsequent use to which they are put in order to determine the nature of that purchasing activity and that the nature of the purchasing activity must be determined according to whether or not the subsequent use of the purchased goods amounts to an economic activity.

Borrowing in US dollars to pay US dollar accounts payable and subsequently using US dollar cash flow to repay the loans and interest, is called a \"\"natural hedge\"\" -- that is, using US cash flow to pay US dollar debt eliminates the Canadian/US dollar foreign exchange risk. Secondly, maintaining that constructing and operating an airport only amounts to an economic activity once commercial aviation has successfully been attracted would lead to unacceptable conclusions: there is no cause to dissociate the preparatory activity of building or enlarging infrastructure from the subsequent commercial use to which it is put; indeed, the nature of the development activity must be determined according to whether or not the subsequent use of the infrastructure which has been built amounts to an economic activity (35)."

"text": "What Medical Expenses Can Be Written off on Taxes?17 Comments Follow Comments By Marlo Sollitto| Last Updated 3.5.2018Many caregivers and their aging loved ones rack up thousands of dollars every year in medical expenses. This includes items and services not covered by Medicare, co-pays and deductibles, even the amount of gas used to get to and from doctor’s appointments. Depending on the total amount you’ve spent over the past year, you might be able to deduct those medical expenses on your taxes. However, you must have an awful lot of medical expenses to take the deduction. “There are a number of requirements that a caregiver must meet to deduct medical expenses for themselves and the person they care for,” says Mark Luscombe, CPA, JD, LLM, principal federal tax analyst at Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting. First and foremost, the person receiving care must meet certain support, income, relationship, citizenship and other tests to be claimed as a dependent by their caregiver. ( You can read more about whether you can claim a loved as a dependent here . )“ Secondly, the medical expenses must be of the type approved by the IRS as qualifying for the medical expense deduction,” Luscombe says. To qualify for the deduction, the total cost of your eligible unreimbursed medical expenses must exceed 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income (AGI). For example, if your AGI is $50,000, then the first $3,750 of medical expenses don’t count."

[ 1] Its name comes from the earliest such plans that allowed employees to choose between different types of benefits, similar to the ability of a customer to choose among available items in a cafeteria. Qualified cafeteria plans are excluded from gross income. [ 2] To qualify, a cafeteria plan must allow employees to choose from two or more benefits consisting of cash or qualified benefit plans. [ 3] The Internal Revenue Code explicitly excludes deferred compensation plans from qualifying as a cafeteria plan subject to a gross income exemption. [ 4] Section 125 also provides two exceptions. [ 5]If the cafeteria plan discriminates in favor of highly compensated employees, the highly compensated employees will be required to report their cafeteria plan benefits as income. [ 6] The second exception is that if \"\"the statutory nontaxable benefits provided to key employees exceed 25 percent of the aggregate of such benefits provided for all employees under the plan,\"\" then the key employees must report their cafeteria plan benefits as income. [ 7] Effective January 1, 2011, eligible employers meeting contribution requirements and eligibility and participation requirements can establish a \"\"simple\"\" cafeteria plan. Simple cafeteria plans are treated as meeting the nondiscrimination requirements of a cafeteria plan and certain benefits under a cafeteria plan. ["

In general, it may be difficult to claim massages on your taxes, but if you meet certain requirements, then you may qualify for the deduction. Whether your massage is a deduction depends on a variety of factors. Medical Expense Deduction You may take a deduction for certain medical and dental expenses incurred during the taxable year. You claim these deductions on Schedule A of the Form 1040; however, the aggregate amount of your medical and dental expenses must exceed 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income. If your expenses do not exceed that amount, you may not take a medical expense deduction. Basic Tax Requirements The IRS defines medical expenses as the costs that are associated with the \"\"diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease and the costs for treatments affecting any part or function of the body.\"\" Whether a massage will count as a medical expense depends largely in part on your medical situation as the IRS does not specifically include massages in its list of medical expenses. When Would a Massage Constitute a Medical Expense? Since a medical expense is expected to primarily alleviate or prevent a physical defect or illness, if your doctor prescribed massage as a form of physical therapy, that prescription would certainly assist in making the argument that massage is a medical expense."

The one question last-minute Americans will be asking before the April 18 deadline, “Can I deduct this?”They may be shocked by how often the answer is “yes,” and the sheer variety of expenses they can deduct. Most people know that business-related items are usually tax deductible — no matter how odd. That could include body oil for a masseuse or professional body builder, says Dave Du Val, vice president of customer advocacy at Tax Audit.com, which is based in Sacramento, Calif. Ditto, free beer used for a sales promotion. But a recent survey showed that only 51% of more than 1,000 people surveyed understood relatively basic questions about their income taxes, and the estimated average $2,840 tax refund for 2017 likely does not include the refunds that people did not know they could claim. Don’t miss: 5 things not to buy with your tax refund Of course, most people know many charitable donations are deductible, but some people are especially watchful for deductions others might miss. Grafton “Cap” Willey, managing director at CBIZ Tofias, an accounting and professional services provider in Providence, R. I., helped a client who’d bought a house and land — and wanted to build a better house — write off the fair market value of the windows, lumber and other usable items from the property that he donated to a homeless charity. And documentation is critical. “ Take a photo with your i Phone of that bag of clothes you donate, and get a receipt. That all counts as evidence."

Ordinarily, diapers, known as incontinence supplies, are not deductible as a medical deduction to your taxes, and in fact the primary government documents specifically exclude them. However, this does not end our search for the answer. The best place to look for information on how to deduct medical expenses is IRS Publication 502.

"text": "\"Rental home remodeling offers several types of tax write-offs. One of the advantages to owning rental property is being able to write off the costs of maintenance, repairs and improvements. The Internal Revenue Service treats repairs and improvements differently, so it's vital to know the difference, and how to claim your expenses on your tax return. No matter how extensive the remodeling, you can write off the full amount, as long as the property remains a rental once the improvements are completed. Improvements to Rental Property Remodeling your rental home falls under the IRS definition of improvements: \"\"an addition to or partial replacement of property that adds to its value, appreciably lengthens the time you can use it, or adapts it to a different use.\"\" This includes new floors, a new roof, insulation, additions, a swimming pool, a deck, landscaping, completely painting at least one room, among other upgrades. How to Take the Write-off Unfortunately, you must depreciate remodeling and other improvements rather than deduct them as expenses in the year you make them. In fact, the IRS requires you to depreciate the improvements as separate property over the course of several years. Over time, you can write off the complete cost of materials, labor, licenses and permits. Residential rental improvements are not eligible for the section 179 deduction to recover costs in full for the year you place them in service, but remodeling an office located in a residential unit may qualify."

These include expenses to cover your deductible, and other medical expenses like dental and eyeglasses. But many don't realize that HSA funds can be used to pay for virtually any type of medical service, as long as it pertains to the treatment or prevention of a specific health condition. Because money withdrawn from a health savings account to pay medical expenses is tax-free, anyone who has an HSA can funnel all alternative medical expenses through their HSA and get a tax write-off. This could include biofeedback, naturopathy, Ayurvedic medicine, aromatherapy, magnetic healing, reflexology, and the list goes on. People who use complementary therapies are often very health conscious, and go to traditional physicians less often. So it does not make sense for them to be paying a high premium for a traditional health insurance plan with a co-pay, particularly when their medical treatments are not covered anyway. Instead, many are choosing a low cost high-deductible HSA plan. Alternative Therapies Becoming Mainstream Many hospitals are now offering complementary treatments. The website for the Memorial Sloan-Keating Cancer Center states that complementary therapies are used to \"\"help alleviate stress, reduce pain and anxiety, manage symptoms, and promote a feeling of well-being. \"\""

These costs are generally standardized for covered services under Original Medicare, Part A and Part B. If you’re enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan or Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan, your out-of-pocket costs may vary by plan. A premium is the monthly amount you pay for your Medicare coverage or Medicare insurance plan. A deductible is the amount you must pay out-of-pocket each year before your Medicare plan begins sharing costs with you. ( Your other out-of-pocket costs may include coinsurance and copayments. ) Premium and deductible amounts may change each year. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) usually publishes the Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B rates for the following plan year around the middle of October or November. Medicare-approved private insurance companies publish the new stand-alone Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan and Medicare Advantage plan premium and deductible rates for the following year during the fall. If you’re already enrolled in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or a Medicare Advantage plan, the plan sends you a document called an Annual Notice of Change. Medicare Part A premiums Most beneficiaries over age 65 don’t pay a monthly premium for Medicare Part A coverage if they or their spouse paid Medicare taxes for at least 10 years (or 40 quarters) while working."

"text": "\"A Health Savings Account (HSA) is like a personal savings account, but the money is used only for qualified health care expenses. The account can be set up with you as the sole beneficiary, or for you plus your spouse and/or dependents. Established in 2003 as part of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act, HSAs allow people with High-Deductible Health Plans to pay for current healthcare expenses and save for future expenses on a tax-favored basis. Here, we look at the eligibility requirements, pros and cons and other important details about Health Savings Plans. Eligibility To be eligible for an HSA, you must be enrolled in a special health insurance plan called a High-Deductible Health Plan, or HDHP. While these plans have high deductibles, monthly premiums are typically much less than for plans with lower deductibles, which makes them appealing to people trying to minimize up-front costs associated with healthcare. HDHPs are intended to cover serious illness or injury, and with the exception of preventive care (such as annual physicals, child and adult immunizations, and screening services), your annual deductible must be met before any plan benefits are paid. According to federal guidelines, you can open and contribute to an HSA if you are: Covered under a HDHP on the first day of the month Not covered by any other non-HDHP plan (with some exceptions for certain plans with limited coverage, such as dental, vision and disability)Not enrolled in Medicare Not claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return The IRS establishes guidelines (adjusted for inflation) for HSAs and HDHPs each year, based on individual and family coverage. For 2014, all HDHPs must have a minimum deductible of $1,250 for individuals and $2,500 for families. The out-of-pocket maximum (including deductibles, co-payments and coinsurance, but not premiums) cannot exceed $6,350 for individuals and $12,700 for families. ("

Department of Transportation, if you're between the ages of 35 and 54, you probably drive more than 15,000 miles a year.

They are large, crystalline spheres (of varying sizes and colors) that feature five-pointed stars (ranging from one to seven, and also varying in sizes and colors, along with being either rigid or flat in appearance) inside of themselves (akin to glass art); individually, they have no powers, but united they have the ability to call forth their associated Eternal Dragon who can grant (usually) one wish (s). Contents [ show]Concept In the Dragon Ball: Bouken Special, the Dragon Ball manga author, Akira Toriyama, explains that there are seven Dragon Balls because there are eight balls in Hakken-Den, a famous Edo-era Japanese novel, and that he would have hated for them to be exactly the same number, so he had the amount of Dragon Balls be changed to seven in number. Unlike other forms of fiction that involve wishes being granted, the Dragon Balls seem to grant a wish exactly as the wisher imagined it, rather than warping the wish so that it is technically granted, but ends up making the wisher's life even more difficult. For example, when King Piccolo wished for youth, he was not reduced to an infant, but rather, appeared in his prime. Also, when a victim is revived from the dead, they are not undead, but rather, are truly alive. This is likely so that there is a legitimate reason to pursue the Dragon Balls by the protagonists, as they would not have a justification to rely on them if they knew they would never grant a proper wish. Also, unlike wishes in other literary works, the eternal dragons are actually sentient beings; thus, they may be capable of interpreting a wish however they see fit, but usually choose to interpret them how they know the wisher actually wants, as a courtesy rather than as a rule. Credence is lent to this theory in the movie Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn, where Shenron was asked to move all the dead people back to the Other World."

By completing the hidden conditions of a parallel quest, you have the chance to trigger a special event. Please consider that these special events will not always appear after completing the hidden conditions, thanks to the RNG element of Dragon Ball Xenoverse. How to unlock all Parallel quests: There are three things you have to do in order to unlock all PQs in Dragon Ball Xenoverse. First of all, you have to finish the main story, including the Bardock and Broly Saga, to get access to the majority of the parallel quests. After you’ve done that, you have to talk to some well-known characters in the city. Probably you’ve already seen the few NPCs with question marks but no mentor emblem over their heads. These characters, like Raditz, Nappa, (Kid) Gohan, Guldo, (Teen) Gohan, #17, Goten, Majin Buu, (Kid) Trunks and Broly are quest givers and will provide you with a new PQ after you’ve finished their mission on your own. If you’ve completed the story and finished every quest of the characters in Toki Toki City, there should still be some missing spots in your quest list. To get these, you have to finish the PQs that come before the missing ones."

Indoors, the tree reaches only 3 to 4 feet tall, and it takes about 10 years to attain that height. Outdoors, dragon's blood, which gets its name from the red sap it bleeds when cut, is hardy in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 through 11. It grows indoors in any zone. Caring for the Tree1Ensure the dragon's blood tree is in a container at least 6 inches larger in diameter than diameter of the tree's root ball. The container must have drainage holes in its bottom so the tree's roots don't become waterlogged. When the roots fill the pot, it is time to repot the tree in a larger pot. Because the tree grows slowly, one pot may be a suitable size for the tree for years.2Place the dragon's blood near a window that receives bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid placing the tree near a vent.3Water the tree when the top 1 inch of its soil dries out. Dragon's blood is drought-tolerant but doesn't do well with constantly wet roots."

It's set to be released in 2015 for the Play Station 3, Play Station 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. Xenoverse will be the fifteenth title in the franchise. You Tube/Screenshot The upcoming game will be the first in the series to feature a totally different plotline, where in previous games the story usually follows the original storyline. Dragon Ball XV will also be the first in the series to feature full character creation. The fact was confirmed after a mysterious character with red hair, a scouter, and a Capsule Corp. logo on his sleeve appeared during the E3 announcement trailer. Even with Dragon Ball XV not following the original storyline, notable characters like Goku or Vegeta will still be making their appearances in the game as playable characters. The gameplay for Dragon Ball XV will still be the same as previous games with battles being fought on fully destructible 3D environments. Players aren't limited to a single plane while fighting, as characters may choose to fight in the air, on the ground, or underwater. Characters show a great deal of complexity as they will show a variety facial expressions and dialogues while fighting, where they react to damage being delivered by and to them as the battle goes on."

Last year's Dragon Ball Z: Battle of The Gods was the first Dragon Ball Z theatrical release in Japan in 17 years, and its even making its way stateside this summer. Thankfully, we won't have to wait another 17 years for the next installment of Goku's story, as series creator Akira Toriyama has announced a new DBZ flick will be released in Japan in 2015. The new film doesn't appear to have an official title yet, but is currently scheduled to premiere during the \"\"Golden Week\"\" holiday period in Japan (a string of Japanese holidays that straddle the end of April and beginning of May). Just like Battle of The Gods (and unlike the forgettable Dragon Ball GT ), Toriyama will have direct involvement with the new movie, taking charge of the character designs and script. He revealed that it will serve as both a sequel to Battle of The Gods, and a broader continuation of the Dragon Ball Z manga. \"\" I've been getting into the minute details of fine-tuning the dialogue,\"\" he added. \"\" Really, it's too much for a guy my age to be taking on, but I just got caught up in the excitement of making the movie. \"\" Toriyama also said that he has made a \"\"conscious effort to ramp up the action\"\" this time around.

It is the sequel to the Dragon Ball anime and adapts the latter 325 chapters of the original 519-chapter Dragon Ball manga series created by Akira Toriyama. Dragon Ball Z aired in Japan on Fuji TV from April 26, 1989 to January 31, 1996, before getting dubbed in territories including the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe, India and Latin America. Dragon Ball Z follows the adventures of Goku who, along with his companions, defend the Earth against villains ranging from conquerors, androids and other creatures; such as Frieza, Cell and Majin Buu. While the original Dragon Ball anime followed Goku from childhood to early adulthood, Dragon Ball Z is a continuation of his adult life, but at the same time parallels the lives of his sons, Gohan and Goten, as well as the evolution of his rivals Piccolo and Vegeta from enemies to allies. Due to the success of the anime in the United States, the manga chapters comprising its story were initially released by Viz Media under the title Dragon Ball Z. Additional works called animanga were released in Japan, which adapt the animation to manga form. Dragon Ball Z' s popularity has spawned numerous releases which have come to represent the majority of content in the Dragon Ball universe; including 17 movies and 148 video games, many of them being only released in Japan, and a host of soundtracks stemming from this material. Dragon Ball Z remains a cultural icon through numerous adaptations, including a more-recent remastered broadcast titled Dragon Ball Kai.

A friend of mine, who is also in love with bearded dragons, told me that he bought some toys for his dragon now and that he is doing a little bit of playing and training with his dragon. Since I´ve never heard of beardies playing with toys, I was very curious what kind of toys bearded dragons actually use. With “use” I mean actually playing, or doing something with it. Since I am running this website here, I am always up for something new, I am always up for some experiments so I can share my new impressions with you guys, my readers. Besides that I also got two beardies and of course I want to entertain them. I think that bearded dragons really need something to do. They need a little bit of exercise."

Over the past 3,500 years Mount Etna has erupted constantly. Although, volcano eruptions can be said to be catastrophic, with the disruption caused by the thick blanket of smoke in the air, which can adversely affect air travel, the most recent eruption from Mount Etna that occurred October 2013, caused activities at Catania airport to come to a halt, the airport was temporarily closed down as a result of volcanic activity. In fact, the most famous active volcano in Italy is Mount Etna, so most people think there is only one active volcano in Italy. Less famous but still active is volcano Stromboli, and for this reason we can talk about active volcanoes in Italy. Italy is renowned for its recurrent volcano eruptions, although volcano eruptions are usually not well received all over the world as they instigate feelings of fear and destruction in people. The recent eruption of Mount Etna in October 2013, did not cause any significant damage to the locals as lava diverters were put in place.

The activity started rather abruptly at about 16:50 UTC and has rapidly intensified, accompanied by a sudden increase of volcanic tremors. After 18:30 UTC, the amplitude of volcanic tremor began to decline, and the episode was substantially completed at 20:00 UTC, Osservatorio Etneo reported. The eruption was characterized by lava fountains and lava flows, but the very bad weather prevented clear identification of the craters involved. Two or three lava flows descended to the east and northeast, towards the Valle del Bove. A column of gas and tephra rose few kilometers above the volcano, and was pushed by strong winds to the east. Etna is the largest and tallest volcano of Europe, and one of the most active volcanoes on the Earth. Its eruptions occur both at the summit, where currently there are four craters, and from its flanks, down to a few hundred meters above the sea-level.

New oceanic crust is being formed by hot molten rock slowly cooling down and solidifying. In these places, the crust is very thin and eruptions occur frequently because of the pull by the tectonic plates.

"text": "Mount Vesuvius Facts For Kids | The Most Active Volcano in Europe The Vesuvius is probably the most active volcano in the entire Europe which is believed to have caused as much damage as any other volcanic eruption. The volcano has long been admired for its silent yet deadly nature to the inhabitants of Europe and to the residents of Southern Italy in particular. Mount Vesuvius Facts For Kids The Vesuvius is a distinctive cone-shaped mountain the height of which is measured around 4000 feet on the north-eastern side of the Bay of Naples. While Mount Vesuvius is commonly seen as a regular cone-shaped mountain, it nevertheless consists of two peaks that are almost equal in elevation. One of these peaks is called Monte Somma while the other that seems properly applicable is known as Vesuvius. Both these peaks stand on the great mountain called Mount Vesuvius. The Mount Vesuvius measures around 30 miles in circumference and is almost entirely circular in shape. The mountain seems to have a circular base that indeed supports the two small mountains—one is cone-shaped and is comparatively taller whereas the other one is semicircular ridge little less in elevation. Mount Vesuvius The Vesuvius was formed when two tectonic plates collided with each other. These two plates were Eurasian and African."

They stand as permanent reminders of the fragility of the human race—constantly at the mercy of the unpredictable ruthlessness of the natural world. Volcanic eruptions create and destroy landscapes, fascinate and terrify observers, and can even control our climate. Explore the history of volcanoes, revealed in the world's 10 greatest eruptions. Thera, Greece—c. 1600 BCAt its height, c. 1600 BC, the Minoan civilization collapsed quickly and without warning. Their towns appeared to have been destroyed and their civilization entered eternal decline. With no prior indications of any systemic decline before this, archaeological debate has focused on trying to explain the phenomenon as the result of a massive natural disaster. Is it possible that the Minoan civilization was wiped off the face of the earth as a result of one of the biggest volcanic eruptions of all time?"

"text": "Volcanologist jobs (Also known as Geodesic Volcanologist) Volcanologists are scientific researchers who study the properties of volcanoes and develop the science of predicting volcanic eruptions accurately. Volcanoes are the results of fissures in the earth's crust, from which magma, gases, rocks and ashes can erupt. There are about 1500 potentially active volcanoes around the world. Some of them, like Etna and Stromboli in Italy, have been in continuous eruption for more than 2,000 years. 360 volcanoes exploded in the 20th century, one of the most famous being Mount Etna, the largest active volcano in Europe. Volcanic eruptions and their impact on the atmosphere are investigated by specialist geologists known as volcanologists. Volcanologists are scientists who use a variety of sophisticated equipment to measure and analyse volcanic activity, lava, rock, ashes and gases as well as earthquakes caused by eruptions. They also measure the magnitude and intensity of explosions, placing them on a scale from 1 to 8 (volcanic explosivity index). Volcanologists monitor both active and dormant volcanoes to try to predict eruptions and minimise adverse effects on people and their environment. They also spend a lot of time collecting and analysing samples of debris, rocks and other products from extinct volcanoes to gain a better understanding of the processes behind volcanic activity and the impact former eruptions had in shaping the climate."

Types of Volcanos Plate Volcanoes - The majority of volcanoes are formed when two of the Earth’s plates meet and collide. These volcanoes actually occur on the ocean floor. If the amount of magma is significant enough, then the magma rises above the surface of the ocean. This is known as an island. When the two plates collide and one plate forces the other plate beneath it, a different reaction occurs. If this happens, then the friction that is caused during this reaction makes the plate melt that is beneath the other plate. This then causes magma to rise up, and this creates a volcano. The volcanoes that form by this method are usually the most dangerous and the most volatile ones."

A volcano is an opening, or rupture, in a planet's surface or crust, which allows hot magma, volcanic ash and gases to escape from the magma chamber below the surface. Volcanoes are generally found where tectonic plates are diverging or converging. A mid-oceanic ridge, for example the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, has examples of volcanoes caused by divergent tectonic plates pulling apart; the Pacific Ring of Fire has examples of volcanoes caused by convergent tectonic plates coming together. By contrast, volcanoes are usually not created where two tectonic plates slide past one another. Volcanoes can also form where there is stretching and thinning of the Earth's crust in the interiors of plates, e.g., in the East African Rift, the Wells Gray-Clearwater volcanic field and the Rio Grande Rift in North America.

"text": "A volcano is an opening in the Earth's crust where magma from the mantle reaches the surface, sometimes in a slow, dribbling fashion, called an effusive eruption, and sometimes in a violent event called an explosive eruption. Volcanoes usually occur in divergent boundaries between tectonic plates, places where the crust is weak and magma can rise to the surface due to the immense pressure of the mantle below. When magma reaches the surface, it is called lava. Thousands of volcanoes have been recognized on Earth, and they are found on every continent and scattered across the ocean floor. Among the most famous are Mount Etna in Sicily, Mount Vesuvius in Italy, Mount Merapi in Indonesia, Sakurajima in Japan, Mauna Loa in Hawaii, Mount Rainier in Washington, USA, and Mount Erebus in Antarctica. Volcanic activity is how the world's islands get formed. Measured from the ocean floor, Mauna Loa in Hawaii is actually a taller mountain that Mt. Everest in Nepal. The main types of volcano include the following:shield volcanoes, which are broad and shield-shaped, created by the slow eruption and long flow of viscous lavas;lava domes, formed by viscous lava that does not flow very far;cinder cones, which are small (98 to 1,312 feet (30 to 400 meters)), cone-shaped hills that occur on the flanks of larger volcanoes;stratovolcanoes, tall conical ones, like Mt. Fuji in Japan and Vesuvius in Italy;supervolcanoes, massive structures that explode very rarely;submarine volcanoes, located on the ocean floor; andsubglacial volcanoes, located beneath continental glaciers. Volcanoes and their eruptions have occasionally changed the course of history. In prehistory, it is thought that the eruptions of the supervolcanic Yellowstone Caldera 650,000 years ago and Lake Toba eruption 75,000 years ago almost wiped out the human species by producing especially cold winters for entire centuries."

Even without alcohol being physically present, law enforcement will attempt to determine whether the defendant has any manifestations of consumption (odor of alcohol, blood shot eyes, slurred speech, coordination issues, etc.) Most cases have an admission of consumption by the defendant and / or a positive reading on a portable breath test (PBT). It is almost never advisable to admit to consumption (everyone has a Constitutional Right to remain silent). Also, it is generally not advisable to consent to a portable breath test. PBT’s are unreliable for a numeric reading and are only good for a positive or a negative indication. Additionally, there are many factors that could lead to a false positive (mouth wash, bread, certain medications, etc.).

The 18 th Amendment was also the only amendment to restrict individual liberty rather than restrict government power. 1 As the only such restriction, it was the only constitutional amendment at odds with the unalienable rights outlined in the Declaration of Independence and contrary to the natural inclination of humanity for freedom. The failure of the 18 th Amendment demonstrates the results of government attempting to impose on its population laws contrary to human nature. Government loses its legitimacy and general lawlessness is the result. The Eighteenth Amendment had been the product of 178 years of efforts to ban alcohol in the United States that started with a ban in Georgia in 1742. The ban of the Eighteenth Amendment went into effect January 16, 1920. It lasted a mere thirteen years.21st Amendment Passed in 288 Days, Ending Prohibition The stories of Prohibition, including gangsters like Al Capone and federal enforcers such as Eliot Ness and the Untouchables are well known.

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

"text": "The Missouri court's primary concern when deciding issues of custody is the best interests of the child. Generally, the court considers allowing both parents access to their child to be in the child's best interest. However, under Missouri law, specific problems a parent may have can make it dangerous, physically or emotionally, for the child to visit with that parent alone. In such circumstances, the court may order supervised visitation, which allows the parent access in an environment safe for the child. Supervised Visitation The point of supervised visitation is to allow a troubled parent to spend time with his child in an environment that ensures the child's safety. Supervised visitation can range from visits between a parent and his child in the presence of a court-approved adult to visits that must take place at a court-approved facility in the presence of child behavioral specialists. Missouri law specifies there must be strong evidence, such as documented past patterns of dangerous or criminal behavior, that the child will be in danger if left alone with the troubled parent before a Missouri court can order supervised visitation. Divorce is never easy, but we can help. Learn More Drug or Alcohol Abuse If evidence such as police reports, arrest records or direct testimony from witnesses or therapists shows that a parent has a history of drug or alcohol abuse, the court may order supervised visitation. If the court finds, however, that there is another way to eliminate the danger to the child, it may order a less restricted alternative."

"text": "John Pemberton John Pemberton invented “Coca-Cola”John Stith Pemberton was the inventor of Coca Cola, perhaps the best known soft drink in the world today. Pemberton was an American pharmacist, born in 1831 in Knoxville, Georgia. He studied at a local medical school in Georgia, and became a licensed pharmacist in 1850, at the age of nineteen. He married Ann Eliza Clifford Lewis (or Cliff, as she was affectionately called) in 1853 and the couple had one child, a son, born in 1854. Pemberton established a successful wholesale drug business before being drafted into the army during the American Civil War, during which he suffered a painful injury in 1865. In those days, many wounded war veterans used morphine to help dull the pain of their injuries. Pemberton too, became addicted to the use of morphine, but being a chemist, he decided to discover a cure for his addiction himself. The first of these was an opium free painkiller, and then came a formula known as “Pemberton’s French Wine Coca”. This contained extracts from coca leaves (which are used in the production of cocaine), albeit in a very restricted quantity, and certainly not enough to cause the potent effects that cocaine does. The use of coca leaves was later completely removed from the formula."

Some states permit alcoholic beverages to be sold at all stores selling groceries while others have more restrictive laws, with laws of many states specifying different restrictions for different categories of alcoholic beverages. The following table of alcohol laws of the United States provides an overview of alcohol-related laws by first level jurisdictions throughout the US. This list is not intended to provide a breakdown of such laws by local jurisdiction within a state; see that state's alcohol laws page for more detailed information. On July 17, 1984, Congress passed the National Minimum Drinking Age Act. The bill would force all states to raise their drinking age from 18, 19, or 20 to 21. States that did not choose to raise their drinking age to 21 would risk losing 8% (10% before 2012) of federal highway funding as a penalty."

Tom Barrett trained as a pharmacist in the Army in the mid-1980s and continued the work after leaving the service in 1990, holding his last job with a national drugstore chain in Augusta, Georgia. His expertise did not lend immunity to certain pitfalls. Barrett grew addicted to a steady supply of opioid painkillers Army doctors gave him for lower-back pain, though eventually the problem turned out to be kidney stones, which were blasted away with shock waves. But the pill-monkey remained on his back. Barrett, 53, battled it for years, supplementing with alcohol. After a 2007 car crash—sober and no drugs, blood tests would show—in which he suffered multiple skull fractures that left him in a coma, Barrett lost grasp on the fragile normalcy he'd managed to maintain as a husband and father of three now-grown men. He wound up divorced, homeless and broke, and in April 2012 he was arrested for stealing a $2 can of beer from an Augusta convenience store. Though not sentenced to time behind bars, his inability to pay a $200 fine would lead to him cycling in and out of jail, initially for almost two months, despite the fact that U. S. and state constitutional protections prohibit such punishment. Someone with means would have walked out of the courtroom free."

The Wisconsin legislature passed a law in 1849 that made liquor sellers liable for the costs incurred by local governments in supporting alcoholics. Ten years later, the state prohibited liquor sales on Sundays. [ 1]In 1872, alcohol regulation reached new heights in the state with the passage of the Graham Law. This legislation prohibited drunkenness and the sale of alcohol to minors, and required all liquor sellers to post a $2,000 bond (more than $30,000 in 2007 U. S. dollars). [ 2] German-Americans fought the new law in the courts and at the ballot box. Although they lost challenges in the courts, they were able to elect a legislature friendlier to alcohol consumption. In 1874, the new lawmakers passed less restrictive laws that lowered the bond to $500, allowed Sunday liquor sales, and created certain safe havens for liquor sellers to escape liability for alcoholics. [ 1]Alcohol consumption was banned in Wisconsin during Prohibition (1920-1933)."

However, all 50 states and the District of Columbia have statutory laws requiring a person receiving a tattoo be 18 years or older. This is partially based on the legal principle that a minor cannot enter into a legal contract or otherwise render informed consent for a procedure. Most states permit a person under the age of 18 to receive a tattoo with permission of a parent or guardian, but some states outright prohibit tattooing under a certain age regardless of permission, with the exception of medical necessity (such as markings placed for radiation therapy ). In all jurisdictions, individual tattooists may also choose to place additional restrictions based on their own moral feelings, such as refusing any clients under a specific age even with parental consent despite it being legal, or limiting the type and/or location of where they are willing to tattoo (such as refusing any work around intimate parts of the body). They may additionally refuse to perform specific artwork, including if they merely find it inappropriate or offensive, or refuse to work on a client that they suspect may be intoxicated.

Alligators (remember, folks, there's 20-some-odd species of croc, only two species of true alligator) lack these glands. Alligators spend most of their time in fresh water, but yes, if you're referring to the ICW through Fl, especially the Indian River Lagoon System, alligators ARE in brackish water a LOT. However, they do need to retreat to fresh water on a regular basis to rinse the salt out of their system. ( notice when you do see a gator in the IRL, it's usually near a storm culvert outfall, or very close to a freshwater retention pond.) I know someone who saw an alligator two miles out from Port Canaveral... probably not very happy, but he was pointed towards shore, so he knew how to get \"\"home\"\"."

"text": "Crocodile, Alligator, and Caiman Leather – How to Tell the Difference Crocodile Leather, Posts Most consumers cannot tell the difference between crocodile leather, alligator leather, and caiman leather when it comes to purchasing high-end luxury items. This is a daunting task for the untrained eye - if you want to distinguish between the three, you should first understand the difference in market value: Alligator and Crocodile have significantly higher market value than caiman skin. This is due to their strength and availability, you will find that alligator and crocodile are true luxury goods while Caiman leather, even though its a genuine leather and similar in appearance (thus its appeal in lower budget markets), it has significantly lower value and significantly lower durability. It is very important to distinguish between these when purchasing high-end consumer goods like handbags, purses, wallets, belts, etc. to avoid purchasing an inferior product at a premium cost. Sometimes dishonest salesman and exporters will claim that their products are genuine Crocodile leather, only to find out later that what they have actually purchased is a much cheaper Caiman skin product. The biggest difference between Caiman and Alligator or Crocodile leather is that the Caiman leather is not near as durable. A Caiman fuscus crocodile have small bony plates - if you bend the leather across these plates you will see that the leather creases between the scales. While the skin is still pliable and very strong, these thick scales are the telltale signs that you have Caiman leather. A proper Alligator or Crocodile hide will not have these bony scales."

However, there is no doubt that some species of crocodiles can attain extremely large adult sizes. It's no surprise that questions over which is the largest are extremely common, and I'll try to shed some light on the answer. The largest species of crocodile in the world is generally considered to be Crocodylus porosus, the saltwater or estuarine crocodile. In fact, this is the largest living reptile in the world by overall weight. Snake afficionados may argue that there are longer snakes, but none combine both length (over 6 metres) and body mass (well over 1,000 kg) to reach such large overall sizes like the saltwater crocodile can. But there are many arguments, conflicting evidence, tantalising skulls and romantic stories surrounding giant crocs... HATCHLING SALTWATER CROCODILEHow fast do they grow? Hatchling saltwater crocodiles, like the one on the left, emerge from the egg at around 25 to 30cm (1 foot) in length. They can easily sit on the lens of a camera, weighing only 70 grams (2.3 oz)."

Crocodylinae, all of whose members are considered true crocodiles, is classified as a biological subfamily. A broader sense of the term crocodile, Crocodylidae that includes Tomistoma, is not used in this article. The term crocodile here applies to only the species within the subfamily of Crocodylinae. The term is sometimes used even more loosely to include all extant members of the order Crocodilia, which includes the alligators and caimans (family Alligatoridae ), the gharial and false gharial (family Gavialidae ), and all other living and fossil Crocodylomorpha. Although they appear similar, crocodiles, alligators and the gharial belong to separate biological families. The gharial, with its narrow snout, is easier to distinguish, while morphological differences are more difficult to spot in crocodiles and alligators. The most obvious external differences are visible in the head, with crocodiles having narrower and longer heads, with a more V-shaped than a U-shaped snout compared to alligators and caimans. Another obvious trait is that the upper and lower jaws of the crocodiles are the same width, and the teeth in the lower jaw fall along the edge or outside the upper jaw when the mouth is closed; therefore, all teeth are visible, unlike an alligator, which possesses in the upper jaw small depressions into which the lower teeth fit."

[ 1]Bowfishing is a method of fishing that uses specialized archery equipment to shoot and retrieve fish. Fish are shot with a barbed arrow that is attached with special line to a reel mounted on the bow. Some freshwater species commonly hunted include common carp, grass carp, bighead carp, alligator gar, and paddlefish. In saltwater, rays and sharks are regularly pursued.

Crocodylinae, all of whose members are considered true crocodiles, is classified as a biological subfamily. A broader sense of the term crocodile, Crocodylidae that includes Tomistoma, is not used in this article. The term crocodile here applies to only the species within the subfamily of Crocodylinae. The term is sometimes used even more loosely to include all extant members of the order Crocodilia, which includes the alligators and caimans (family Alligatoridae ), the gharial and false gharial (family Gavialidae ), and all other living and fossil Crocodylomorpha. Although they appear similar, crocodiles, alligators and the gharial belong to separate biological families. The gharial, with its narrow snout, is easier to distinguish, while morphological differences are more difficult to spot in crocodiles and alligators. The most obvious external differences are visible in the head, with crocodiles having narrower and longer heads, with a more V-shaped than a U-shaped snout compared to alligators and caimans. Another obvious trait is that the upper and lower jaws of the crocodiles are the same width, and the teeth in the lower jaw fall along the edge or outside the upper jaw when the mouth is closed; therefore, all teeth are visible, unlike an alligator, which possesses in the upper jaw small depressions into which the lower teeth fit."

It dates from the early Cretaceous Period of what is now Africa and South America and is one of the largest crocodile-like reptiles that ever lived. It was almost twice as long as the modern saltwater crocodile and weighed up to 8 tonnes (7.9 long tons; 8.8 short tons). The first remains were discovered during several expeditions led by the French paleontologist Albert-Félix de Lapparent, spanning from 1946 to 1959, in the Sahara. These remains were fragments of the skull, vertebrae, teeth and scutes. In 1964, an almost complete skull was found in Niger by the French CEA, but it was not until 1997 and 2000 that most of its anatomy became known to science, when an expedition led by the American paleontologist Paul Sereno discovered six new specimens, including one with about half the skeleton intact and most of the spine.

"text": "Where Do Crocodiles Live in the Wild – Crocodile Habitat and Distribution Get ready for the most exciting facts about where do crocodiles live in the wild and how they are widely distributed. Crocodile (Crocodylinae) is a large reptile that speaks high of its furious and uncompromising nature when it comes to potential predators. They occupy a wide range of habitats and have cosmopolitan distribution throughout Africa, Americas, Australia, and Asia. Crocodiles predominantly exist in shoreline habitats, and would rather live in shallow and deep waters. Apart from human encroachments, there are some micro-environmental features that do influence the crocodile distribution. The population density, population size-class and crocodile size plays a vital role in defining the overall patterns of crocodiles’ habitats. Where Do Crocodiles Live in the Wild Where Do American Crocodiles Live Habitat and Distribution American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) is the most common crocodilian species inhabiting America. It is known to occupy diverse habitats including river mouths, mangrove swamps, salt lakes, and fresh waters. It is abundant in the southern Florida, southern Mexico, Caribbean Islands, Columbia, Ecuador, and Greater Antilles. Many of these species are found in Costa Rica, in Ypersaline Lake, Lago Enriquillo, in the Dominican Republic, with few of them inhabits Jamaica."

However, true alligators only live in two places in the world, and neither is a rainforest environment: the Southeastern US and the Yangtze River in China. The black caiman ( Melanosuchus niger) is the largest of the six caiman species, reaching a length of almost 17 feet (5 meters). The spectacled caiman ( Caiman crododilus) has the largest range, inhabiting tropical and subtropical waters from Mexico to northern Argentina. The spectacled caiman grows to a length of around 7 feet (2.2 meters). Like all crocodilians, caimans eat a variety of fish, amphibians, turtles, birds and mammals—whatever creature happens to be unlucky enough to wander near them. They in turn are preyed upon by a variety of other animals, at least when they are small. Aside from man, however, full-grown caimans have few worries about other predators, except perhaps for the jaguar or a particularly large anaconda. Watch a video of a black caiman hunting. T he rainforests of Asia, Africa, Australia and the South Pacific are home to a variety of crocodile species of different sizes, from the 5-foot-long dwarf crocodile of West Africa to the giant saltwater crocodiles ( Crocodylus porosus) of Northern Australia, Indonesia, New Guinea and Southeast Asia."

Jaw An alligator (left) with a rounded U-shaped snout and a crocodile (right) with a V-shaped snout In alligators, the upper jaw is wider than the lower jaw and completely overlaps it. Therefore, the teeth in the lower jaw are almost completely hidden when the mouth closes, fitting neatly into small depressions or sockets in the upper jaw. This is called an \"\"overbite\"\". The large fourth tooth on each side of the alligator’s lower jaw fits into a socket in the upper jaw. However, in crocodiles, the upper jaw and lower jaw are approximately the same width, and so teeth in the lower jaw fit along the margin of the upper jaw when the mouth is closed. Therefore, the upper teeth interlock (and \"\"interdigitate\"\") with the lower teeth when the mouth shuts. The large fourth tooth on each side of the crocodile's lower jaw projects outside the snout when the mouth is closed.

They are gray-green or olive-green with long, slender snouts, which distinguish them from their cousin, the alligator. Also unlike the alligator, the fourth tooth on the bottom jaw of the American crocodile is visible when its mouth is closed. South Florida is the only place where you can find both crocodiles and alligators. Diet An American crocodile's diet consists mainly of small fish, invertebrates, reptiles, birds and mammals. Population There are more than 1,000 American crocodiles, not including hatchlings, in Florida. American crocodiles are found in southern Florida, the Caribbean, southern Mexico and along the Central American coast south to Venezuela. Behavior American crocodiles inhabit brackish and saltwater habitats and are typically found in coastal mangrove wetlands, ponds, coves, creeks and canals. Decidedly less aggressive than the infamous Nile and Australian crocodiles, American crocodiles are shy, reclusive and rarely seen by people. Reproduction Mating Season: January and February."

While any animal bite can be scary, wild animals may seriously endanger your life. If you have ever been nipped by a domestic dog, cat or your pet hamster, this is nothing compared to the bit of a wild animal. Animal bites are actually measured in “pounds per square inch” (psi) which is the force that their jaw closes down when biting. The weight of the animal delivering the bite is a lso taken into consideration. These two factors will give you the bite force of an animal. To put what animal has the strongest bite into perspective, a domestic dog has a bite force of around 200 to 300 psi. There are wild animals out there that deliver a much more powerful bite.

This is a document about crocodilians - alligators, caimans, crocodiles and gharials - and their care in captivity. It has two main goals. First, and perhaps most importantly, its goal is to persuade the majority of readers that crocodilians do not make good pets. Once you've read the whole thing, you might be inclined to agree. In the words of John Levell \"\"Hopefully you're reading this document before possibly making the biggest mistake of your life.\"\" The second goal is to get essential information on crocodilian care to dedicated owners (both private and professional) of these creatures. Through the pet trade, various crocodilian species have become more widely available in several countries, yet there is virtually no information available on the Internet or in published books on how to look after them properly in captivity - nor whether they even make good captives at all. Spectacled and dwarf caimans are the most commonly kept crocodilian species - they are the most widely available, and are promoted by pet stores as growing to small adult sizes."

"text": "Andy Wijaya, Medical doctor. Answered Jan 30, 2014Antigens are antibody generators (hence the name). They generate antibody by making contacts with the white blood cell. Unlike red blood cells and platelets, the white blood cells consist of many types. Lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, basophiles, and eusinophiles, and each of them has different roles. Anything that goes into our blood, whether it is from bacteria, virus, or anything else may bring antigens with them, which maybe just a little part of their structure. This antigen then would be presented to the lymphocytes. These lymphocytes, which is a kind of white blood cell, then would generate antibody which is specific to that antigen, so that the antibody may bind that certain antigen to make it easier for other white blood cells to engulf or attack the bacteria or virus who brings the antigen with them. This is a simplified explanations and I have omitted some steps of the antibody generations, but I think this is a detailed enough explanation for laymen, and if you study biology or medicine or something, you should not get your answers from Quora, lol. Such antibody may backfire if some cells of our body has antigen who has a cross-reactivity with the antigens of bacteria or viruses, hence the presence of autoimmune disease which appears after a bacterial or viral infection."

The test classifies blood into four groups designated A, B, AB, and O. Antibody screening is a test to detect atypical antibodies in the serum that may have been formed as a result of transfusion or pregnancy. An antibody is a protein produced by lymphocytes (nongranular white blood cells) that binds to an antigen, facilitating its removal by phagocytosis (or engulfing by macrophages) or lysis (cell rupture or decomposition). The type and screen (T&S) is performed on persons who may need a transfusion of blood products. These tests are followed by the compatibility test (cross-match). This test insures that no antibodies are detected in the recipient's serum that will react with the donor's red blood cells. Purpose Blood typing and screening are most commonly performed to ensure that a person who needs a transfusion will receive blood that matches (is compatible with) his or her own; and that clinically significant antibodies are identified if present. People must receive blood of the same blood type; otherwise, a severe transfusion reaction may result. Prenatal care Parents who are expecting a baby have their blood typed to diagnose and prevent hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN), a type of anemia also known as erythroblastosis fetalis. Babies who have a blood type different from their mother's are at risk for developing this disease."

A: Transplantation is a procedure (or set of procedures) in which diseased and/or nonfunctioning organs, tissue or bone marrow is replaced with the same obtained from another healthy person. Transplants between identical twins will not be rejected because all the genes (antigens) are identical. Q: What is histocompatibility? A: “Histo” is a Greek word that means “tissue”. Histocompatibility refers to the quality or state of being histo or tissue compatible. This term is used in transplantation to describe the ability of a donor’s tissue or organ to be accepted by a recipient. There is a group of genes present in all animals called the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). In humans the MHC is called human leukocyte antigen (HLA)."

There are three lines of defense: the first is to keep invaders out (through skin, mucus membranes, etc), the second line of defense consists of non-specific ways to defend against pathogens that have broken through the first line of defense (such as with inflammatory response and fever). The third line of defense is mounted against specific pathogens that are causing disease (B cells produce antibodies against bacteria or viruses in the extracellular fluid, while T cells kill cells that have become infected). The immune system is closely tied to the lymphatic system, with B and T lymphocytes being found primarily within lymph nodes. Tonsils and the thymus gland are also considered lymph organs and are involved in immunity. We often don't realize how effective the immune system is until it fails or malfunctions, such as when the lymphocytes are attacked by HIV in an AIDS patient. The Immune System as a Castle [ edit]The immune system is a silent wonder. While we are very aware of our heart beating and the breaths we take, we are much less aware of our immune system that protects us from thousands of potentially deadly attacks every day. In this chapter we will discuss the immune system we each possess that is working around the clock, protecting us from disease and death. A good way to start understanding the immune system is to liken it to a castle."

Related to small lymphocyte: monocytelymphocyte [ lim´fo-sīt] any of the mononuclear nonphagocytic leukocytes found in the blood, lymph, and lymphoid tissues;they comprise the body's immunologically competent cells and their precursors. They are divided on the basis of ontogeny and function into two classes, B and T lymphocytes, responsible for humoraland cellular immunity, respectively. Most are small lymphocytes 7–10 μm in diameter with a round or slightly indented heterochromatic nucleus that almost fills the entire cell and a thin rim of basophilic cytoplasm that contains few granules. When activated by contact with antigen, smalllymphocytes begin macromolecular synthesis, the cytoplasm enlarges until the cells are 10–30 μm in diameter, and the nucleus becomes less completely heterochromatic; they are then referred to as large lymphocytes or lymphoblasts. These cells then proliferate and differentiate into B and T memory cells and into the various effector cell types, B cells into plasma cells and T cells intohelper, cytotoxic, and suppressor cells.

It contains different cells such as red blood cells and white blood cells. Red blood cells account for 45 % of the total volume while white blood cells account for just 1 %. The rest of the 55 % consists blood plasma. The bone marrow of bones synthesize the red blood cells. White blood cells are responsible for our immunity. Red blood cells are important in oxygen and nutrients transportation to respective tissues. There are four main types of blood groups named as A, B, AB and O. They are named based on the presence or absence of specific antigen on the surface of red blood cells. And these antigens are known as antigen A and antigen B. Based on their presence (+) or absence (-), the blood types are further classified into A +, A –, B +, B –, AB +, AB –, O +, and O –. The key difference between A and B antigens is that antigen A can be found only in people who have blood group A and blood group AB while antigen B can be found only in people who possess blood group B and blood group AB."

The primary function of blood is to supply oxygen and nutrients as well as constitutional elements to tissues and to remove waste products. Blood also enables hormones and other substances to be transported between tissues and organs. Problems with blood composition or circulation can lead to downstream tissue malfunction. Blood is also involved in maintaining homeostasis by acting as a medium for transferring heat to the skin and by acting as a buffer system for bodily p H. The blood is circulated through the lungs and body by the pumping action of the heart. The right ventricle pressurizes the blood to send it through the capillaries of the lungs, while the left ventricle re-pressurizes the blood to send it throughout the body. Pressure is essentially lost in the capillaries, hence gravity and especially the actions of skeletal muscles are needed to return the blood to the heart. Blood is a fluid tissue of human body, classified as a tissue of inner environment."

Under various abnormal conditions thetotal numbers or proportions, or both, may be characteristically increased, decreased, or unaltered, and leukocytes may be present in other tissues and organs. Leukocytes representthree lines of development from primitive elements: myeloid, lymphoid, and monocytic series. On the basis of features observed with various methods of staining with polychromatic dyes (for example, Wright stain) cells of the myeloid series are frequently termed granularleukocytes, or granulocytes; cells of the lymphoid and monocytic series also have granules in the cytoplasm, but owing to their tiny size and varied properties (frequently not clearlyvisualized with routine methods), lymphocytes and monocytes are sometimes termednongranular or agranular leukocytes. Granulocytes are commonly known as polymorphonuclear leukocytes (also polynuclear or multinuclear leukocytes), inasmuch as the mature nucleus is divided into two to five rounded or ovoid lobes that are connected withthin strands or small bands of chromatin; they consist of three distinct types: neutrophils,eosinophils, and basophils, named on the basis of the staining reactions of the cytoplasmicgranules. Cells of the lymphocytic series occur as three types, based on the identity of theirsurface receptors: B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, and null cells. Morphologically, there aretwo, somewhat arbitrarily designated, normal varieties: small and large lymphocytes; theformer represent the ordinary forms and are conspicuously more numerous in the circulatingblood and normal lymphoid tissue; the latter may be found in normal circulating blood but aremore easily observed in lymphoid tissue. The small lymphocytes have nuclei that are deeply or densely stained (the chromatin is coarse and bulky) and almost fill the cells, with only a slight rim of cytoplasm around the nuclei; the large lymphocytes have nuclei that areapproximately the same size as, or only slightly larger than, those of the small forms, butthere is a broader, easily visualized band of cytoplasm around the nuclei. Cells of themonocytic series are usually larger than the other leukocytes, and are characterized by a relatively abundant, slightly opaque, pale blue or blue-gray cytoplasm that contains myriadextremely fine reddish-blue granules."

Learning Objectives List the types of lymphocytes in the vertebrate immune system and their roles in innate or humoral immunity Key Takeaways Key Points A lymphocyte is a type of white blood cell in the vertebrate immune system. NK cells are a part of the innate immune system and play a major role in defending the host from both tumors and virally infected cells. T cells are involved in cell-mediated immunity whereas B cells are primarily responsible for humoral immunity (relating to antibodies ). Helper T-cells coordinate immune responses, while cytotoxic T-cells lyse (break down) pathogens associated with T cell’s specific antigen. Memory B cells are formed at the end of an adaptive immune response and will produce antibodies more quickly when the antigen is detected again, which is effective at preventing recurrent infections from the same pathogen. Sometimes the body will present antigens that aren’t harmful (allergy) or antigens from otherwise normally functioning body parts (autoimmunity). The latter can cause severe antibody and T-cell induced immune responses and diseases. Key Termshumoral immunity: Immunity to infection due to antibodies that circulate in the blood and lymph and are produced by B cells.antigen: Any molecule that activates an immune response from a host organism, such as a toxin produced by bacteria or a molecule expressed on the cell wall of a virus -infected cell.lymphocyte: A type of white blood cell that includes T cells, B cells, and NK cells.

Knowing the medical terminology also helps. In addition to mechanical barriers there are various components which comprise the innate immune system and the adaptive immune system. Those components are molecules, cells, tissues, organs, and chemical mediators. The chief molecules are surface markers and receptors which recognize antigens and respond to mediators. The main cells of the immune system are various types of white blood cells. They all originate in the bone marrow but develop into more specialized cells in other lymphoid organs and tissues.

Months before her GP finally suspected ovarian cancer, a friend of mine began doing more exercise, including crunches, to flatten her growing belly. But by the time her doctor finally joined all the dots including weight gain, indigestion and bloating - all easily attributable to diet - the cancer had spread. It's a familiar story. For 75 per cent of women, ovarian cancer is advanced before it's found. Paula Benson, now director of Ovarian Cancer Australia, was luckier. It was hard to blame her weight gain on lifestyle, coinciding as it did with a new regime of healthy eating, running and going to the gym. \"\" I had this little tummy and when I'd try to pull it in it just wouldn't go in,\"\" she told me last week. \"\" Then when I put on a dress I hadn't worn for a while, it wouldn't fit.\"\""

"text": "CAUSES OF MIDDLE-AGE WEIGHT GAIN: The “Bad News” and the “Good News”!February 10th, 2011This article address the underlying causes to alleviate or prevent middle-aged weight gain along with other symptoms commonly experienced by middle- aged women.90% of women gain weight between the ages of 35-55. The average weight gain is about 15-20 pounds, with a disproportionate amount of this weight being an increase in body fat. What is unfair about this, is the fact that much of this weight gain and/or body fat increase, can occur without, increasing caloric intake. This is different than the weight you gain because you eat too much of the wrong foods and don’t exercise enough. It’s the stubborn, difficult weight gain or increases in body fat percentage (without weight gain) that occur in middle-aged and beyond women. Why does this phenomenon occur in so many women in this age range, and what can you do to prevent or reduce the good chance this may happen to you? There are specific techniques and natural supplements that can help balance a female body that is desperately trying (and in many cases with limited success) to balance many physiological processes, that by design, change with age. These changes can cause uncontrolled and undeserved weight or body fat percentage gains. Much of this new weight will NOT be gained as much around the hips and thighs but in the stomach and waist area. Shifting/fluctuating hormones, stress and insulin resistance are the guilty parties."

Available in non-fat and low-fat varieties featuring either 1 percent or 2 percent milk fat, cottage cheese can be a good addition to your diet if you're trying to lose weight and decrease your saturated fat or cholesterol intake. It can be substituted for other soft cheeses like ricotta in recipes, used as a nutrition-dense topping for potatoes or mixed with fresh or dried fruit, vegetables, seeds and nuts for a quick and filling snack or breakfast. If you are limiting your sodium consumption, look for low- or no-sodium cottage cheese that contains only 60 milligrams of sodium in every 1/2-cup serving. Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images Can You Freeze Food Containing Cottage Cheese? You can freeze cooked dishes like lasagna that contain cottage cheese without a change in the cheese's texture or taste, but beware of freezing cottage cheese on its own, advises the cooking site The Kitchn. The curds and whey in frozen creamed cottage cheese will separate during thawing, causing the cheese to become watery and grainy. While you can still eat and cook with this cottage cheese, it won't resemble its original appearance and texture. \"\" Good Housekeeping\"\" reports you can successfully freeze dry-curd and uncreamed cottage cheese since these types won't separate when thawed.

Bid adieu to chubby cheeks and the dreaded double chin naturally with these easy facial exercises. Exercises for Double Chin The sagginess of the chin that is caused mainly due by increasing age, loss of collagen and excessive weight is called a double chin. Thankfully, the chin and neck can be toned effectively with these face exercises without the need for surgery. Chin Lifts The chin lift exercise is the best way to get rid of a double chin. It helps in working and stretching most of the facial muscles including the jaw, throat and neck. But make sure not to use any other facial muscle other than the lips while doing this exercise.

Used by athletes to reach peak physical condition, plyometric exercises manipulate the elasticity and strength of muscles by increasing the speed and force of their contractions. This gives plyometric workouts the ability to produce fast and powerful movements that provide explosive power for a variety of sports. There has been little research done into formulating best practices for plyometric training. The National Strength & Conditioning Association and others have proposed some guidelines but it has been left mainly to the experience of coaches to formulate their own training plans. Therefore, plyometric exercises should only be done by fit individuals under supervision to avoid any risk of injury. Good physical strength and flexibility are required to cope with the powerful forces that are generated during plyometric workouts. What are Plyometrics? Plyometric exercises are a method of power training used by many team and individual sports. In the simplest of terms, plyometrics are exercises that involve a jumping movement."

"text": "\"Chest workouts The 10 greatest chest press variations of all time Here's how to amp up the tried-and-true upper body strength builder.by Brittany Smith TThe chest press—or to use the traditional term, “bench press”—has been a staple in strength programs since men started picking things up and putting them down. You're hitting your pectoralis major, deltoids, and triceps, in addition to a host of stabilizers and helpers including your rotator cuff, upper trapezius, pectoris minor and rhomboids. This is all well and good until you plateau. That’s where exercise variations come in. Based on what you want to accomplish with your overall fitness plan, goals, needs and current abilities, we've got 10 variations of the popular, multi-faceted resistance training movement, provided by Robert Reames, C. S. C. S., National Spokesperson for Pear Training Intelligence/Coaching System and Gold's Gym. Reames recommends having at least one session with a qualified professional trainer to learn the basics of the exercise and proper form first. But you can consider this your road map for diversifying your repertoire of chest press exercises thereafter (or if you're an experienced lifter). Just as a refresher, let's go over the proper technique of a traditional chest press: Traditional supine bench press w/ Olympic bar Muscles worked: Pectoralis major, anterior and lateral deltoids, and triceps. “ This exercise is used in athletic testing like the NFL combine,” Reames says. “ If you’ve ever been asked, ‘How much do you bench?’,"

By Dov Michaeli, MD, Ph D - February 21, 2012When you get two different answers to a question, sometimes even diametrically opposed, you can assume that there is no convincing evidence for either. One example is the seemingly age-old question: Shall I use heat or cold to treat muscle soreness? My answer is: It depends. What does cold treatment do? First, it numbs the local pain neurons, so the sense of relief is immediate. It also reduces the local tissue temperature, which in turn reduces inflammation and swelling."

"text": "\"Deep Muscle Soreness And Body-Shock Fatigue In my experience there are two distinct types of muscular fatigue associated with intense progressive resistance training (only intense training is sufficient to trigger muscle hypertrophy) and these two types should be recognized and understood. The first type of fatigue is direct muscle soreness and is the result of a particular exercise targeting a specific muscle. Scientists are at odds as to the exact cause of muscle soreness but most believe that it is associated with some sort of cellular micro-trauma. Direct muscle soreness is usually the type of pain and discomfort that most folks experience when they begin serious progressive resistance training program. There are varying degrees of muscle soreness and sometime the intensity of soreness can become so severe as to be debilitating. The muscles are actually sore to the touch. I have self-induced this type of soreness to every degree on every muscle - once, as a 14-year old novice, I found a 10-pound solid dumbbell and proceeded to do 50-repetitions in the one-arm curl for each arm every hour on the hour for 10-straight hours. It seemed like a cool idea to my young and dumb mind but that went out the window the next day when both arms locked up to such a degree that I could not straighten my arms. Both biceps were so traumatized that they remained involuntarily contracted for the next 36-hours. My hands were held at my face and any attempt to straighten my arms resulted in excruciating pain."

"text": "\"Anatomy & Physics of Muscles In our last newsletter, we examined the physiology of the human muscle system from an alternative health perspective. In this newsletter, we continue with that theme by exploring both the physics of muscle movement and the code that underpins muscle anatomy. And no, the goal is not to teach you the names of all 799 skeletal muscles in the body, but rather to show you \"\"how\"\" the muscles are named. Muscle names are not just a bunch of random Latin words, but rather, are named according to a set of informal rules; and once you understand those rules, you can pretty much tell where any muscle is located and what it does. By itself, though, this is not important; but once armed with the information, we will then be able to talk about exercise -- and exactly how to exercise our muscles to accomplish specific goals and achieve optimum health. The Physics of Muscles Before we can discuss the naming system for muscles, we need to understand the principle of levers that make the whole musculoskeletal system work since many muscle names are derived from that principle. The reason for this is simple: all skeletal muscles provide stability and produce movement in the body by acting as the force or effort applied to the levers of our bones -- and by using opposing forces to achieve mechanical advantage. Or to put it another way, muscles move bones around joints. There are actually three types or classes of levers, but when we think of levers, we normally think of what are known as first class levers. These are the levers where the fulcrum is located between the effort (or force) we exert and the load (or weight) we are trying to move."

The brachioradialis is a muscle that serves to provide flexion at the elbow as well as support the extension of the wrist, and it spans the length of the forearm from just above outside of the elbow to the thumb side of the wrist. An example of this muscles activation can be appreciated when lifting a suitcase straight up, with the palms facing towards the ground (pronated) and elbows kept at the sides of the body. For reference sake, palms facing up is called supination and can be easily remembered if you imagine holding a bowl of soup—supination. The brachioradialis muscles bring the forearms back in a neutral position after it has been supinated or pronated. Additionally, this muscle stabilizes the wrist when gripping objects and prevents the wrist from bending, which is the motion that the flexors of your hand and wrist would make with powerful gripping motions. Another function of the brachioradialis muscles is to stabilize the elbow, as it moves very fast and high centrifugal forces develop—a common occurrence when punching. Brachioradialis pain symptoms and trigger point activation Brachioradialis pain can be appreciated if the muscles in the forearm become very tight, sending shooting pain up the forearm or elbow during use. Some cases include pain that may extend to the back of the hand and even into the index finger and thumb. The pain is often confused with a condition called “ tennis elbow ,” but this is due to inflammation of the tendons of the elbow due to overuse, with brachioradialis pain only being a contributor and not a cause."

Teaching Points: The patient is in a relaxed position with the upper arm supported. The therapist fully pronates the hand (so the palm faces down) to stretch and lengthen the supinator muscles. A mild stretch may be felt in the wrist and forearm. This position can be held for up to a minute, provided it does not cause pain.

"text": "I know that some of the facial exercise programs have a variety of “daily” routines with different levels from beginners to advanced. The creators of these programs claim all kinds of reasons for these many different levels and they all sound somewhat plausible. However, I’ve found a very interesting phenomenon with facial exercises that does not make any of these levels and “different” routines necessary. Hitting a Plateau with Facial Exercises One such claim to offering a variety of routines is that we hit a plateau with facial exercises so we have to either “train harder” or change out our routine to something new to continue to build. Actually, I agree that we do hit a plateau with facial exercises; however, I think this is a good thing. Once you achieve the perfect build, you want to keep it. Therefore, we do not have to change from the perfect workout as is offered with the CFFitness™ system and this is why. The Body is Efficient First of all, hitting a plateau happens when the muscles build to a particular size when using a particular workout routine. The body is very efficient. It will build muscle only to the place that the workout you’re using demands and it will build no further."

The best place to start to get bigger arms quickly is by concentrating on the triceps muscle. This is because the triceps muscle makes up two thirds of the upper arm!!! The triceps muscle is made up of three parts a long head which originates at the scapula, a lateral head which originates at the back of the arm (humerus) and the short head which originates on the humerus a bit lower than the lateral head.

While resistance training, the muscles are prevented from \"\"maxing out,\"\" but are nevertheless fully activated throughout both the concentric (lifting) part and eccentric (lowering) part of an exercise. This leads to better range of motion, overall strength, total burn, and even cardio if you go for long sets with little rest or try supersetting. Plus, resistance bands are a snap to store!Using the Right Resistance Bands Resistance bands should be chosen based on your existing strength in the muscle groups being targeted.

"text": "\"The glaciers of the Andes Mountains have retreated at an unprecedented rate in the past three decades, with more ice lost than at any other time in the last 400 years. That's according to a new review of research that combines on-the-ground observations with aerial and satellite photos, historical records and dates from cores of ice extracted from the glaciers. The retreat is worse in the Andes than the average glacier loss around the world, the researchers report Tuesday in the journal The Cryosphere.\"\" Tropical Andes glaciers have lost on average between 30 to 50 percent (depending on the mountain ranges) of their surface since the late 70s,\"\" study researcher Antoine Rabatel, a scientist at the Laboratory for Glaciology and Environmental Geophysics in Grenoble, France, wrote in an email to Live Science. Sensitive glaciers The Andes Mountains of South America are home to 99 percent of tropical glaciers — permanent rivers of ice at high enough elevations not to be affected by the types of balmy temperatures usually associated with the tropics. But these glaciers are particularly sensitive to climate change, because there is little seasonality in temperatures in the tropics, Rabatel said. \"\" Glaciers of the tropical Andes react strongly and more rapidly than other glaciers on Earth to any changes in climate conditions,\"\" he said. [ Ice World: Gallery of Awe-Inspiring Glaciers]To piece together the story of the glaciers over the past centuries, Rabatel and his colleagues drew on disparate strands of data. Historical records from early settlements reveal glacier boundaries, as does ice core data taken by drilling down into the annual layers of ice that make up glaciers. Even the lichens (symbiotic organisms made of fungus and an algae or bacteria) that survive on the rocky debris, or moraine, that forms around a glacier have a story to tell."

The Nazca plate in the base of the Pacific Ocean and the Brazilian Shield crashed together and created mountain structures. A large portion of magma was also pushed upwards by the same phenomenon. All of this aroused volcanic activity along the coast. Several volcanic cones emerged and formed most of the volcanic range. Some of the volcanoes are still active and smoke from time to time. The rocky outcrops formed the Eastern sections of the range (including Apolobamba, Cordillera Real, and Quimsa Cruz ranges in Bolivia), and the volcanic cones made up the Western Volcanic Range A large portion of water was trapped in between the ranges creating a huge inland sea.

Western Volcanic Range This range (Cordillera Occidental) is composed of Cenozoic (65 million years ago to the present) volcanoes, domes, flows, ignimbrites (huge hot ash flows), and sedimentary rocks derived from this volcanic activity.

The rock and snow of Mount Aconcagua reach up to meet the clear, blue Argentine skies. Due to the cold and dry clime, few plants grow here. Description Rising to a height of 22,838 feet, Mt. Aconcagua is not only the highest peak in South America and the Southern and Western Hemispheres, but it is also the second highest peak among the Seven Summits of the World. The mountain rises in the Mendoza province of west-central Argentina, and is a part of the Andes Mountain range. The western slopes of the mountain rise from the coastal lowlands of Chile, while its summit lies but 15 kilometers from the Chile-Argentina border. The mountain is bounded by the Valle de las Vacas to the north and east, and the Valle de los Horcones Inferior to the south and west. In 1983, the Aconcagua Provincial Park was established to protect the mountain and its surrounding areas' ecosystems. Historical Role The name of Mt. Aconcagua is thought to have developed from the Quechuan name Ackon Cahuak, meaning the ‘Sentinel of Stone’ in that language."

According to the Köppen system, Chile within its borders hosts at least seven major climatic subtypes, ranging from low desert in the north, to alpine tundra and glaciers in the east and southeast, humid subtropical in Easter Island, Oceanic in the south and Mediterranean climate in central Chile. There are four seasons in most of the country: summer (December to February), autumn (March to May), winter (June to August), and spring (September to November). On a synoptic scale, the most important factors that control the climate in Chile are the Pacific Anticyclone, the southern circumpolar low pressure area, the cold Humboldt current, the Chilean Coast Range and the Andes Mountains. Despite Chile's narrowness, some interior regions may experience wide temperature oscillations and cities such as San Pedro de Atacama, may even experience a continental climate.

Lonnie Thompson, a glaciologist at Ohio State University, said there is strong evidence from a variety of sources of significant melting of glaciers - from the area around Kilimanjaro in Africa to the Alps, the Andes, and the icefields of Antarctica because of a warming climate. Ice is also disappearing at a faster rate in recent decades, he said. \"\" It is not any single glacier,\"\" he said. \"\" It is very clear that these glaciers are behaving in a similar fashion. \"\" The United Nations' climate science experts admitted today that it did not have the evidence to support the claim in its 2007 report that Himalayan glaciers could melt away by 2035. Thompson, in a conference call with reporters, would not be drawn into making specific predictions on the future of the Himalayan glaciers. He said only about 800 of the 46,000 glaciers in the Himalayas are being monitored by scientists. Data from those under observation suggests that 95% of glaciers are in retreat, but it is still unclear how much mass the glaciers are losing without knowing the depth of the affected places. Scientists still do not have enough of that data, he said."

See key word list for words in bold below: Farming: Many subsistence farmers grow a variety of crops on the steep slopes. They adapt by using terraces. These flat areas retain water and stop the soil moving downslope. Most crops are grown in the lower valleys, some cash crops (crops grown to sell) such as soya beans, rice and cotton are grown. Peruvian farmers using terraces. Hydroelectric power (HEP): The steep slopes and narrow valleys are ideal for HEP as they can be dammed and the rapid flow of water ensures the generation of electricity.

Do you ever find yourself asking what glaciers have to do with global warming? Have you ever wondered what exactly your friend meant when she told you that you moved at a glacial pace? Either way, read on, and learn all about these frozen landforms. Glacier Basics A glacier is essentially a huge mass of ice resting on land or floating in the sea next to land. Moving extremely slowly, a glacier acts similarly to an immense river of ice, often merging with other glaciers in a stream-like manner. Regions with continuous snowfall and constant freezing temperatures foster the development of these frozen rivers. It is so cold in these regions that when a snowflake hits the ground it does not melt, but instead combines with other snowflakes to form larger grains of ice. As more and more snow accumulates, mounting weight and pressure squeeze these grains of ice together to form a glacier. A glacier cannot form unless is it above the snowline, the lowest elevation at which snow can survive year round."

"text": "Glaciers Are Melting: Causes, Consequences and Innovation Jun 10th, 2011 | By Climate Himalaya | Category: CLIMATE SCIENCE, Climatic Changes in Himalayas, Disasters and Climate Change, Glaciers, Information and Communication Glaciers are the world’s largest reservoir of fresh water, holding approximately 75% of the world’s fresh water. Over the past century, most of the world’s mountain glaciers and the ice sheets in both Greenland and Antarctica have lost mass. But glacier melt is not limited to these areas. Glaciers are located on every continent, except Australia and they are all receding with severe consequences. In December 2010, 193 countries met in Cancun for climate talks and developed The United Nations Cancun Adaptation Framework. They concluded climate change is real and unavoidable, and confronting it with blending climate science and technology, indigenous community’s adaptive skills, engineering and risk management is the future. Like blending families, this process takes a fair amount of cooperation, compromise and conversation. Peru is taking the warnings seriously with a proactive approach for a 20-30 year plan. César Portocarrero is a glacial engineer in Peru, and his specialized skill is building retention dams and drainage tunnels to avert catastrophic floods from glacial lakes. Climate change in the last sixty years has impacted high mountain glaciers in places like the Andes in Peru and The Himalayas, and many of the large glaciers melted rapidly, possibly from global warming, creating large glacier lakes."

This muscle tension that occurs at any given time, leads to restricted movement and lack of control over our body. In fact, what happens when we take muscle relaxers is that they interrupt the nerve impulses that produce these tensions in the muscle tissues that controls movement. Besides being used in mild cases, muscle relaxers natural apply to cases of muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis and pain relief from injuries or surgeries."

I have the constant feeling like adrenalin is coursing through my veins... heart racing, head racing, the whole bit. I can go days where I don't sleep until 6am and then only sleep on and off until noon. It's literally hell on earth... there's not much that is more debilitating physically, mentally and emotionally as long term sleep deprivation....... and then I'll sleep for a day and start all over again. Anyways, long story short, doxy has made the insomnia worse, so my doc suggested Pheni Tropic, a variety of Phehibut which is a derivative of GABA (inhibitory neurotransmitter). Just wondering if anyone has tried this and if so what reaction you had. I'm going to call and order it tomorrow, but I'd love to hear your experiences!

"text": "HERBALIFE LIVER CANCERHerbalife Side Effects: Herbalife Liver Cancer Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is primary liver cancer. The disease is usually secondary to some preliminary and often untreated liver disease such as toxic hepatitis and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Due to the dormant nature of these less serious liver ailments they are often unrecognized until they have attacked your liver and progressed into HCC. hepatocellular carcinoma is one of, if not the, most developed and serious liver diseases. More often than not it cannot be treated and eventually leads to complete liver failure. In these cases the only way to survive HCC is with a liver transplant. Like many other liver diseases there is an established link to Herbalife supplements. Correctly or not, doctors around the world hold the Herbalife company responsible for certain cases of HCC. While the toxins in these products do not directly cause the cancer many doctors are confident that the regular use of Herbalife’s unsafe dietary, nutritional, and skin care products can lead to any number of primary liver diseases. For example, if toxins in the Herbalife supplements cause non-alcoholic steatohepatits that eventually develops into hepatocellular carcinoma then it is not a very big leap to say Herbalife should be held accountable if what the lawsuit states is correct."

You dread that horrible migraine attack which not only brings nausea, vertigo and dizziness along with headache but also makes you confined to your bed in a dark room. The analgesics seem incompetent when it comes to relief from migraine. Even if they work for you, overusing painkillers can actually worsen off the condition. If you take OTC pain killer twice a week, it’s all right but more than that may ‘rebound’ your migraine. It will initially decrease the pain but eventually will bring back your migraine headache which is even stronger and worse than ever.

D. Kava is the term used for both the root plant and the beverage made from it. The beverage is prepared from the root of a shrub called the pepper plant, Piper methysticum, found in Polynesia, Melanesia, and Micronesia, including the islands of Vanuatu, Fiji, and Tonga. The kava root is ground to a powder, and it has a brownish color. The brownish powder is then mixed with water and drank as a beverage, without being fermented. Extracts from the root are placed in capsules and sold as supplements. I don't recommend the use of kava in children or by teenagers. This stress reducing herb should only be used by healthy adults, and only occasionally. Additional herbs and nutrients involved in relaxation, stress relief and anxiety reductions include passion flower extract, tryptophan, 5-HTP, ashwagandha, lemon balm, theanine, GABA amino acid, and valerian herb.

Acu-Yoga Acu-Yoga is a system of exercises integrating the knowledge of two holistic methods of health maintenance—acupressure and yoga. Both relax muscular tension and balance the vital life forces of the body. Yoga does this through controlling the breath while holding the body in certain postures. Acupressure does this by directly manipulating body energy through a system of points and meridians. Each Acu-Yoga posture naturally presses and stretches certain nerves, muscles, and acupressure points, awakening the meridians and releasing the tension in the points so that energy (chi) can circulate freely. This energy is the source of all life, and its flow is the key to radiant health."

Muscle spasms or cramps can happen to anyone at any time and occasionally last for a few minutes. For longer lasting muscle pain, there may be an effective alternative to medication. Natural muscle relaxers do exist. We will examine various pain relievers, including natural muscle relaxers for back pain, one of the more common health concerns. Muscle relaxers are typically used to relieve pain or tenderness in the back, legs, and head, or for symptoms associated with various disorders. Those with fibromyalgia, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, hypothyroidism, and chronic fatigue syndrome in particular experience mild to excruciating pain.

The theory behind using these toxins is that it will destroy the fast growing cancer cells before it does too much damage to normal cells.

Normally, when blood cells wear out in the body, they are replaced by new ones from the bone marrow. When the chemotherapy drugs damage these fast growing cells, it can cause a low blood count, which can result in other side effects such as fatigue, headaches, and chills.

The mint-after-a meal custom in fact dates back to ancient Rome, and Pliny, the first-century Roman historian and scientist, included mint in his Natural History in 77 A. D. Mint was not used formally in medicine until the mid-18th century, but mint tea has been a favorite cure for indigestion since Biblical times. Modern peppermint is actually a hybrid of water mint and spearmint, and has stronger medicinal properties than either of the two originating plants. Menthol and methyl salicylate are the main active ingredients of peppermint. Internally, they have anti-spasmodic actions, with calming effects on the muscles of the stomach, intestinal tract, and uterus.

"text": "The Nutritional Value of Celery Is Well, Surprising The nutritional value of celery has baffled me. Celery always seems like one of the least nutritive vegetables. What I've discovered about celery, however...is pleasantly surprising. Except for the distinctive crunch of celery, celery has always seemed to reside in the nutritional background. It was what I considered a “quiet vegetable.” I never thought much of the nutrients in celery simply because I mistakenly believed that it did not have all that much. Whether you are a raw foodist or not, celery always seemed to appear on raw vegetable platters— and stay there — after the more vibrant vegetables were consumed. Celery nutrition is not as famous as some other vegetables, but maybe it should be. After doing some research into this “quiet vegetable,” celery's nutritional value both surprised and impressed me. Celery is a member of the apiaceae or umbelliferae family."

Its weight loss benefits are well-known, but you would be surprised at its other amazing health properties. We consider it a powerfood that should be eaten daily.13 Health Benefits:1. Celery has blood pressure reducing properties. It contains active phthalides, which relax the muscles of the arteries that regulate blood pressure so the vessels dilate. Phthalides also reduce stress hormones, which can cause blood vessels to constrict.2. The fiber is very good for weight loss.3. Celery is purported to be a negative calorie food, which means it takes the body more calories to digest it than the food itself contains. While this is not strictly accurate, a single stalk of celery still has only a few calories due to being full of cellulose.

A harvest period in late June or early July, and one in October, would fill market voids when other major celery producing areas are not harvesting. Celery, however, is not an easy crop to grow. Although it is a cool season crop, exposure of juvenile plants to temperatures below 40 to 50°F for more than 5 to 10 days can cause premature bolting, ruining the crop and making it unsalable. Special attention must be given to maintaining a steady water supply and providing the proper amount of nutrients to allow for constant growth. To realize a profit, North Carolina growers should: Use varieties that will successfully compete with the market standard Adopt recommended management practices Offer an attractive pack Varieties Varieties more resistant to premature bolting should be used for spring crops in North Carolina.

Posted on April 23, 2015 by Ben Phillips, Michigan State University Extension; and Mary Hausbeck, Michigan State University Extension, Department of Plant, Soil and Microbial Sciences Tweet Pin It Chlorothalonil ( Bravo / Echo / Equus) is a FRAC M5 fungicide that is well known for its ease of use as a stand-alone product or tank mix partner for protecting against a range of pathogens of vegetable crops. Some examples of uses of chlorothalonil fungicide for disease control includes Alternaria leaf blight and fruit rot on tomato, late blight of tomato, Anthracnose ripe fruit rot of tomato, Cercospora and/or Septoria leaf and petiole blight of celery, Alternaria and Cercospora leaf and petiole blight of carrot, purple spot of asparagus, purple blotch in onions, garlic, and leeks, and Alternaria blight of cucumbers, squash, pumpkins, and melons. In addition to these disease examples, chlorothalonil has been important as a tank-mix partner for fungicides targeting downy mildew. Due to its multiple modes of action, this product can be used repeatedly and sequentially. It appears that chlorothalonil-based fungicides may be in short supply this year and changes in fungicide programs may be needed. Luckily, other fungicides are available and can be selected to ensure that vegetable crops remain protected. Michigan State University Extension recommends paying attention to FRAC codes when deciding on an alternative broad-spectrum fungicide. Mancozeb, available as Manzate or Dithane, is a broad-spectrum FRAC M3 fungicide that acts similarly as chlorothalonil. It can be used to fill in many of the gaps that could pose a problem due to the short supply of chlorothalonil."

( Unlike starchy polysaccharides that provide plants with a way to store simple sugars, these non-starch polysaccharides in celery help provide this vegetable with its unique structure and are not made from simple sugars but rather from pectins. ) In addition to well-known antioxidants like vitamin C and flavonoids, scientists have now identified at least a dozen other types of antioxidant nutrients in celery. These antioxidants include dihydrostilbenoids like lunularin as well as furanocoumarins like bergapten and psoralen. The antioxidant support we get from celery is largely due to its phenolic nutrients that have been shown to help protect us against unwanted oxidative damage to our cells, blood vessels, and organ systems If you are planning to steam vegetables as part of your meal, you can include celery without having to worry about excessive loss of its phenol-based antioxidants. In a recent study, researchers compared the impact of steaming (10 minutes) versus boiling (10 minutes) versus blanching (3 minute submersion in boiling water) on the total phenolic antioxidant nutrients in celery. Both boiling and blanching resulted in substantial loss of these antioxidants, in the range of 38-41%. With steaming, however, 83-99% of these antioxidants were retained in the celery even after 10 minutes."

"text": "Juicing for Anemiain Juicing for Health, Vegetable Juices Before considering exactly how juicing can help you with Anemia, let us first see what Anemia is in the first place. Anemia is a blood-related condition. The red blood cells (erythrocytes) are responsible for carrying oxygen from your lungs to virtually every single cell of your body. Your red blood cells contain an iron-based protein called hemoglobin, which is crucial in the mechanism of oxygen transport. If it happens that the levels of hemoglobin are low, your blood will no longer be efficient in supplying oxygen throughout the body. This is the point when anemia kicks in. Food Advertising by One of the immediate consequences of anemia is the need for additional effort on the part of the heart. If the concentration of hemoglobin in the red blood cells is lower than needed, your heart will have to do the extra work in order to supply enough oxygen for the normal operation of the organs and tissues. That’s why anemic people feel weak and are easily tired. There are different causes of Anemia."

But can you really buy asthma inhalers over the counter, and how effective are these inhalers! We will try to know all this through this Buzzle article. Tagged Under: Asthma Inhalers Advertisement Asthma, also referred as bronchospasm, is a chronic lung disease, wherein the airways of the lungs become narrow. As a result, the patients find difficulty in breathing in and out, and suffer breathing problems like wheezing (a whistling sound when you breathe), shortness of breath, tightness in the chest, and coughing. The condition is more common in children, but is also noticed in adults who have a weak immune system. Asthma mainly occurs due to some allergic reactions to dust, pollens, dust mites, animal fur, molds, pollution, etc., which lead to inflammation and swelling of the airways. This inflammation further results in mucus production and muscle tightening, causing wheezing and dry cough in patients."

February 13, 2012 | Jessica Pauline Ogilvie Asthma sufferers have long relied on inhalers for relief from wheezing or coughing attacks. But as of Dec. 31, Primatene Mist -- the only available over-the-counter asthma inhaler -- was taken off shelves because of its adverse effect on the environment. Other inhalers are available, but these require a doctor's prescription. Some people with asthma aren't happy about the change, but lung doctors and asthma specialists agree that Primatene Mist wasn't the best option for patients anyway. The disease, they say, can be controlled more effectively with prescription medication than with an over-the-counter product. Still, patients who used Primatene Mist may not know where to turn. Here's the latest information about what you can do if you're one of them.--What is Primatene Mist, and why was it withdrawn? Primatene Mist is an inhaler that uses the active ingredient epinephrine.

Albuterol can quickly relieve shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, and chest tightness. It's in a class of drugs known as bronchodilators, which work by relaxing and opening air passages to the lungs. This medicine is sometimes used to treat or improve muscle paralysis in people with a condition that causes paralysis attacks (such as hyperkalemic periodic paralysis). The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved albuterol in 1982. Albuterol Warnings You should keep albuterol with you at all times and get your prescription refilled before you run out of this medication. Albuterol can control symptoms of asthma and other lung diseases, but it doesn't cure them. You should not stop taking this medicine without first talking to your doctor.

Data from a large placebo-controlled US trial that compared the safety of salmeterol with placebo added to usual asthma therapy showed an increase in asthma-related deaths in subjects receiving salmeterol (13 deaths out of 13,176 subjects treated for 28 weeks on salmeterol versus 3 deaths out of 13,179 subjects on placebo). Currently available data are inadequate to determine whether concurrent use of inhaled corticosteroids or other long-term asthma control drugs mitigates the increased risk of asthma-related death from LABA. Because of this risk, use of SEREVENT DISKUS for the treatment of asthma without a concomitant long-term asthma control medication, such as an inhaled corticosteroid, is contraindicated. Use SEREVENT DISKUS only as additional therapy for patients with asthma who are currently taking but are inadequately controlled on a long-term asthma control medication, such as an inhaled corticosteroid. Once asthma control is achieved and maintained, assess the patient at regular intervals and step down therapy (e.g., discontinue SEREVENT DISKUS) if possible without loss of asthma control and maintain the patient on a long-term asthma control medication, such as an inhaled corticosteroid. Do not use SEREVENT DISKUS for patients whose asthma is adequately controlled on low-or medium-dose inhaled corticosteroids. Pediatric and Adolescent Patients: Available data from controlled clinical trials suggest that LABA increase the risk of asthma-related hospitalization in pediatric and adolescent patients. For pediatric and adolescent patients with asthma who require addition of a LABA to an inhaled corticosteroid, a fixed-dose combination product containing both an inhaled corticosteroid and a LABA should ordinarily be used to ensure adherence with both drugs. In cases where use of a separate long-term asthma control medication (e.g., inhaled corticosteroid) and a LABA is clinically indicated, appropriate steps must be taken to ensure adherence with both treatment components."

Steven Pray, Ph D, DPh Bernhardt Professor, Nonprescription Products and Devices College of Pharmacy, Southwestern Oklahoma State University Weatherford, Oklahoma US Pharm. 2010;35 (2):12-15. Researchers have charted an alarming rise in the number of persons with hypertension. For example, the number rose by 30% from 1994 to 2000. 1 The CDC estimated the percentage of noninstitutionalized adults aged 20 years and above with hypertension to be 32%. 2 The number of ambulatory visits that have hypertension as the primary diagnosis is estimated to be 40.5 million. 2 In 2006, there were 23,855 deaths due to hypertension, or 8 per 100,000 population. 2The National Institutes of Health has provided this hypertension advice for the lay public: “Most of the time, high blood pressure can be controlled with medicine and lifestyle changes.” 3 Of course, this optimistic statement assumes that patients do not unknowingly take any action that would raise their blood pressure. For instance, some nonprescription medications may cause dangerous rises in blood pressure, and the labels reflect that danger by recommending that patients speak to a physician before using them."

Dr. Stuart Stoloff, an active member of the committee which wrote the new EPR-3 asthma clinical practice guidelines, decried the lack of a generic asthma controller medication in the United States. Sadly, as I’ve mentioned here before, the FDA and the inhaler manufacturers have worked together during the past couple of years to ensure that new patents for all asthma inhalers which contain an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) will not expire for another 15 years. The prices of 0 to 0 per month for an ICS will be maintained since no generics will be introduced. Another speaker, well connected with the FDA and major inhaler manufacturers, showed the expected FDA approval dates for about 8 new ICS or combination ICS plus LABA inhalers during the next 8 years. All of these are “me too” inhalers, with any differences between them and existing ICS or combo inhalers possibly exaggerated in an attempt to gain a slice of the billion per year worldwide market for asthma and COPD inhalers. Of course, all of these new inhalers will be priced about the same as the existing ones (0 to 0 per month). No truly innovative inhalers are “in the pipeline” (in phase II or III clinical trials). This is a sad situation for under-insured folks in the United States with asthma (or a child with asthma). Okay, back to the title of this blog."

Progesterone plays a role in maintaining pregnancy. The hormone is produced in the ovaries, the placenta (when a woman gets pregnant) and the adrenal glands. It helps prepare your body for conception and pregnancy and regulates the monthly menstrual cycle. It also plays a role in sexual desire. COULD YOU BE PREGNANT? 4 Weeks Pregnant Symptoms During the reproductive years, the pituitary gland in the brain generates hormones (follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH] and luteinizing hormone [LH]) that cause a new egg to mature and be released from its ovarian follicle each month. As the follicle develops, it produces the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone, which thicken the lining of the uterus. Progesterone levels rise in the second half of the menstrual cycle, and following the release of the egg (ovulation), the ovarian tissue that replaces the follicle (the corpus luteum) continues to produce estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen is the hormone that stimulates growth of the uterine lining (endometrium), causing it to thicken during the pre-ovulatory phase of the cycle."

Indicate important differences between hormonal and neural controls of body functioning The means of control and the speed of the endocrine system are very different from those of the nervous system. • The nervous system regulates the activity of muscles and glands via electrochemical impulses delivered by neurons, and those organs respond within milliseconds. • The endocrine system influences metabolic activity by means of hormones, which are chemical messengers released into the blood to be transported throughout the body. Binding of a hormone to cellular receptors initiates responses that typically occur after a lag period of seconds or even days. But, once initiated, those responses tend to be much more prolonged than those induced by the nervous system. o Reproduction o Growth and Development o Maintenance of Electrolyte, water, and nutrient balance of the blood o Regulation of cellular metabolism and energy balance o Mobilization of body defenses2.

All steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol. They are transported through the bloodstream to the cells of various target organs where they carry out the regulation of a wide range of physiological functions. Major pathways involved in the biosynthesis of steroid hormones. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. These hormones often are classified according to the organs that synthesize them: the adrenal steroids are so called because they are secreted by the adrenal cortex, and the sex hormones are those produced by the ovaries and testes. This distinction is not exclusive, however, because the adrenal cortex also secretes sex hormones, albeit to a lesser extent than do the gonads, and the ovaries under abnormal conditions may produce adrenal steroids. The adrenal cortex produces the adrenocortical hormones, which consist of the glucocorticoids and the mineralocorticoids. Glucocorticoids such as cortisol control or influence many metabolic processes, including the formation of glucose from amino acids and fatty acids and the deposition of glycogen in the liver. Glucocorticoids also help to maintain normal blood pressure, and their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive actions have rendered them useful in treating rheumatoid arthritis and preventing the rejection of transplanted organs. Mineralocorticoids such as aldosterone help maintain the balance between water and salts in the body, predominantly exerting their effects within the kidney."

Although heavy menstrual bleeding is a common concern, most women don't experience blood loss severe enough to be defined as menorrhagia. With menorrhagia, you can't maintain your usual activities when you have your period because you have so much blood loss and cramping. If you dread your period because you have such heavy menstrual bleeding, talk with your doctor. There are many effective treatments for menorrhagia. Symptoms Signs and symptoms of menorrhagia may include: Soaking through one or more sanitary pads or tampons every hour for several consecutive hours Needing to use double sanitary protection to control your menstrual flow Needing to wake up to change sanitary protection during the night Bleeding for longer than a week Passing blood clots larger than a quarter Restricting daily activities due to heavy menstrual flow Symptoms of anemia, such as tiredness, fatigue or shortness of breath When to see a doctor Seek medical help before your next scheduled exam if you experience: Vaginal bleeding so heavy it soaks at least one pad or tampon an hour for more than two hours Bleeding between periods or irregular vaginal bleeding Any vaginal bleeding after menopause Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic Causes Fibroid locations Uterine polyps Adenomyosis In some cases, the cause of heavy menstrual bleeding is unknown, but a number of conditions may cause menorrhagia. Common causes include: Hormone imbalance. In a normal menstrual cycle, a balance between the hormones estrogen and progesterone regulates the buildup of the lining of the uterus (endometrium), which is shed during menstruation. If a hormone imbalance occurs, the endometrium develops in excess and eventually sheds by way of heavy menstrual bleeding. A number of conditions can cause hormone imbalances, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), obesity, insulin resistance and thyroid problems."

Arizona Sugar itself doesn’t cause water retention, but an over-indulgence in sugar can make your body over-produce the hormone insulin. It’s this insulin which causes water retention. Insulin helps your body turn sugar into energy or into fat (if you have eaten so much sugar that you cannot use it all).

Anatomy of the Endocrine System Hypothalamus The hypothalamus is a part of the brain located superior and anterior to the brain stem and inferior to the thalamus. It serves many different functions in the nervous system, and is also responsible for the direct control of the endocrine system through the pituitary gland. The hypothalamus contains special cells called neurosecretory cells—neurons that secrete hormones: Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH)Growth hormone-inhibiting hormone (GHIH)Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (Gn RH)Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH)Oxytocin Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)All of the releasing and inhibiting hormones affect the function of the anterior pituitary gland. TRH stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to release thyroid-stimulating hormone. GHRH and GHIH work to regulate the release of growth hormone—GHRH stimulates growth hormone release, GHIH inhibits its release. Gn RH stimulates the release of follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone while CRH stimulates the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone. The last two hormones—oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone—are produced by the hypothalamus and transported to the posterior pituitary, where they are stored and later released. Pituitary Gland The pituitary gland, also known as the hypophysis, is a small pea-sized lump of tissue connected to the inferior portion of the hypothalamus of the brain. Many blood vessels surround the pituitary gland to carry the hormones it releases throughout the body."

Pyometra is considered a serious and life threatening condition that must be treated quickly and aggressively. \"\" Pyometra is a secondary infection...\"\"Pyometra is a secondary infection that occurs as a result of hormonal changes in the female's reproductive tract. During estrus (\"\"heat\"\"), white blood cells, which normally protect against infection, are inhibited from entering the uterus. This allows sperm to safely enter the female's reproductive tract without being damaged or destroyed by these immune system cells. Following estrus (\"\"heat\"\") in the dog, progesterone hormone levels remain elevated up to two months and cause thickening of the lining of the uterus in preparation for pregnancy and fetal development. If pregnancy does not occur for several consecutive estrus cycles, the uterine lining continues to increase in thickness until cysts often form within the tissues (a condition called Cystic Endometrial Hyperplasia). The thickened, cystic lining secretes fluids that create an ideal environment for bacteria to grow in. Additionally, high progesterone levels inhibit the ability of the muscles in the wall of the uterus to contract and expel accumulated fluids or bacteria."

[ 5]Shark species are increasingly becoming threatened because of commercial and recreational fishing pressures, the impact of non-shark fisheries on the seabed and shark prey species, and other habitat alterations such as damage and loss from coastal development and marine pollution. [ 6] Rising demands for shark products has increased pressure on shark fisheries, but little monitoring or management occurs of most fisheries. ["

Sperm whale photo by Tim Cole, National Marine Fisheries Service. Photos are available for media use. The government on Monday reversed course after issuing a draft permit last month for the fishery to kill and seriously injure endangered sperm, fin and humpback whales. More than 13,000 comments were submitted in opposition to the permit. “This is a huge victory for sperm whales and other marine mammals. Nobody wants this many whales to die in California gillnets for a swordfish steak,” said Catherine Kilduff with the Center for Biological Diversity. “ These incredible whales are already struggling under the stress of climate change, loud noises from military exercises and other threats. At the very least we can ensure they don’t get snared in indiscriminate fishing nets. ”Drift gillnet fishing involves setting out mile-long nets at dusk that drift freely where fish, sharks, turtles and marine mammals feed during the night."

And like humans, they are warm-blooded mammals who nurse their young. A thick layer of fat called blubber insulates them from cold ocean waters. Some whales are known as baleen whales including blue, right, bowhead, sei and gray whales. This refers to the fact that they have special bristle-like structures in their mouths (called baleen) that strains food from the water. Other whales, such as beluga or sperm whales, have teeth.

Even though these projections are highly beneficial while hunting, they do tend to make the shape and characteristics of the animal quite distinct. Despite this unique hunting advantage with their visual acuity, there is some disadvantage handed to the hammerhead, with their mouths smaller than the average of the rest of their body, an anomaly among sharks. Species Variant There are nine variants of hammerhead shark and an additional species that is similar. The Winghead shark, native to the South Asian coastal waters, has larger cephalofoils than any other hammerhead sharks, though they are smaller than the largest of the hammerhead sharks, the Great Hammerhead. The other hammerhead species are the Bonnethead, the Great Hammerhead, the Scalloped hammerhead, Carolina hammerhead, Scoophead shark, Smalleye hammerhead, Smooth hammerhead and the Whitefin hammerhead. Anatomy On an average basis, the hammerhead shark ranges from 1m to 6m+, with the largest being the Great Hammerhead. They can range in weight from 3 to 550 kg. The hammerhead family ranges from dark brown to grey on their dorsal side and have a grey or white belly, sometimes even olive in colour which performs as a sort of camouflage while hunting. Previous to scientific research, it was thought that the cephalofoils were used to enhance poor vision in the shark but studies have shown that not only do the hammerheads have excellent vision but also possess the ability to turn quickly and sharply due to the the aided maneuverability the cephalofoils provide."

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

"text": "What do sharks eat? With so many species, sharks have evolved to an extent that will literally eat anything that moves. Their eating habits vary widely and depend on their habitat, and the variety of food and prey that is available therein. Sharks also adapt quickly when they find themselves in different habitats and situations. Being carnivorous, sharks can be broadly classified on their feeding habits asspeedy hunters, slow moving hunters and filter feeders. The three types occupy a different but distinct niche at the top of food chain. Sharks are lithe and built for speed with a strong muscular and streamlined shape which makes them great hunters. The speedy killing machines The tiger shark, the great white shark, the blue shark, the mako and the hammerhead are large, fast moving and ferocious predators, and are at the apex of the food pyramid of the oceans and the seas. These predators have strong jaws and prey on almost any marine life that is available to them under water. Large sharks are known to have more than six rows of sometimes more than 400 teeth."

Several years ago scientists began predicting that the world's seafood supply would collapse completely by the year 2050 if current rates of overfishing don't change. But for most of us, even this dire warning conjures up nothing more serious than a lack of choice at the supermarket or the sushi place. In \"\"Countdown to Extinction,\"\" VICE correspondent Isobel Yeung traveled to several communities on the Indian Ocean where the consequences of overfishing are urgent and visible, changing not just the array of what's on ice in the supermarket case but actually reshaping the way people live. Yeung visited and fished with the Vezo people, a group of nomadic fishermen who move around the coastal areas of Mozambique, following the catch. For generations, the Vezo have caught sharks—a single shark can feed several families."

"text": "Using a Colon Cleanse With Garcinia Cambogia Taking Garcinia Cambogia while doing a Colon Cleanse can have rather dramatic effects in purging the body of toxins and fat. First, let’s talk about what a colon cleanse does before we discuss the benefits of Garcinia Cambogia. Then you’ll see how using both together works very well for most people. A colon cleanse is the most underused and misunderstood way a person can use to help them feel better and lose weight. Also, I should mention that Garcinia Cambogia compliments a colon cleanse very well. It’s almost like they team up with each other to help the person out. What Does A Colon Cleanse Do? If you have a high amount of roughage in your diet, eating raw fruits and fresh vegetables for 75% of your daily meals, then a colon cleanse is probably not necessary. However, for most people who eat a diet high in processed foods, a colon cleanse will flush the toxins that build up in your colon due to a sluggish elimination process. These toxins often come from artificial ingredients used to preserve packaged foods."

However as with any weight loss ingredient there are bound to be those who wish to exploit its popularity. Auto-ship programs allow you to ‘ trial ’ a product for a small amount of money, however what most people don’t seem to realise is that you will often be charged an extortionate amount at the conclusion of the trial. These auto-ship programs are also notoriously difficult to cancel, with some companies even claiming not to have received the cancellation and therefore continuing to charge for a product you do not want. One product currently being offered as a trial is the Pure Garcinia Cambogia Slim System, is this another auto-ship program that you should be avoiding? Claims made by Pure Garcinia Cambogia Slim System The Pure Garcinia Cambogia Slim System makes the following claims: To burn fat quicker Stop fat from forming To be 100% natural To cause no side effects Ingredients of Pure Garcinia Cambogia Slim System The first worrying aspect of the Pure Garcinia Cambogia Slim System is the fact that no ingredients are listed on its website. It is pretty obvious that it contains Garcinia Cambogia, however there is no mention of the dosage found in the capsules nor of any other ingredients. Without knowing this basic information it is impossible to say how effective this product could be. Price of Pure Garcinia Cambogia Slim System The price for the 14-day trial is $4.95, with $89.95 being taken from your account once this time has elapsed. You will then be billed $89.95 until you cancel, which is claimed to be an easy task."

If you’ve been trying to lose weight, you’ve most likely heard of garcinia cambogia – a fruit believed to hold the very key to healthy weight loss. If you’ve never considered using garcinia cambogia extract supplements for weight loss before, then it’s about time you should. Garcinia cambogia is a tropical fruit found in the countries of Southeast Asia. People who live in the region have long used this incredible tiny fruit to make dishes more filling. Western scientists who encountered the fruit, decided to study its weight loss abilities and discovered that the rind contains massive amounts of HCA – which is short for Hydroxycitric Acid. HCA is the very key ingredient why garcinia cambogia supplements are making a massive name in the weight loss industry today. HCA is known to suppress appetite and prevent your body from making fat tissues – leading to fast and effective weight loss done through the most natural and safest way possible. Why Is Garcinia Cambogia So Popular?

While some people might have heard of this extract, few know exactly what is in it or why it works. A question that comes up frequently is whether Garcina Cambogia contains caffeine. The simple answer is that the fruit itself does not contain any caffeine. There are certain products, however, that contain Garcina Cambogia and that use a mixture of other ingredients including caffeine. This means it is important to check the ingredients on any products that are not made from 100 percent Garcina Cambogia to make sure they do not contain harmful amounts of caffeine. Caffeine is actually a very harmful substance especially when it is consumed in large quantities. Caffeine is a stimulant. Unlike the nutrients that are contained naturally in Garcina Cambogia, caffeine has absolutely no nutritional value."

By Stacy Cooper | Submitted On March 22, 20131 1When you start to hear a lot of media buzz about a diet product, it makes sense to do your research to find out the product is safe, and if it will be safe for you. So, if you are interested in using Garcinia Cambogia is a diet supplement to help you reach your weight loss goal, then here is some information on Garcinia Cambogia side effects and what you should expect. How Does Garcinia Cambogia Work? What makes this particular diet product so unique is that it is actually like two different diet products in one. It is known for being a particularly potent appetite suppressant, which means that it will make you less likely to eat between meals, and it will also make you consume fewer calories during each of your main meals. Recent studies show that people who use this particular diet supplement tend to eat 200 to 300 less calories at each of their main meals. Is this a fat burner? The other reason why this natural diet supplement seems to work for so many people is that in addition to it being an appetite suppressant, it is also a natural fat burner as a result of it being extremely high in antioxidants. It also includes enzymes that inhibit the future growth and storage of fat cells, so not only will it burn fat, but it will also reduce your chances of putting on more fat."

Several studies on rats have demonstrated significant weight loss, belly fat reduction, and lowered blood glucose levels ( 4 , 5 , 6 ). We looked at all the randomized, double-blind clinical studies on humans. Some we excluded were either too short (2 weeks), used too small a dose, or had other flaws such as a low fat, high carb diet which researchers believe had a negative impact on the results.

"text": "Smell & Taste Patient Health Information Problems with these senses have a big impact on our lives. Smell and taste contribute to our enjoyment of life by stimulating a desire to eat which not only nourishes our bodies, but also enhances our social activities. When smell and taste become impaired, we eat poorly, socialize less, and feel worse. Smell and taste warn us of dangers, such as fire, poisonous fumes, and spoiled food. Loss of the sense of smell may indicate sinus disease, growths in the nasal passages, or, at times, brain tumors. HOW DO SMELL AND TASTE WORK? Smell and taste belong to our chemical sensing system (chemosensation). The complicated process of smelling and tasting begins when molecules released by the substances around us stimulate special nerve cells in the nose, mouth, or throat. These cells transmit messages to the brain, where specific smells or tastes are identified.

"text": "\"Chemoreception - How it works Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: Aleksandr Kurganov The Senses The term sense, which also may be called sensory reception and sensory perception, refers to the means by which an organism (usually an animal) receives signals regarding physical or chemical changes or both in its environment. Sensory reception and perception entail the translation of these signals, which represent changes in the matter or energy of the environment, into processes within the body and brain. For example, if you eat a cookie, your sense of taste translates the chemical data from that cookie into the sensation of sweetness, a sensation your brain most likely perceives as a pleasing one. In everyday language, people are accustomed to speaking of five senses possessed by humans and, to a greater or lesser degree, by other animals: sight, touch, smell, hearing, and taste. The reality is rather more complex. For one thing, there are not really just five senses; rather, there are at least five others—and there may be more, depending on just how one defines and classifies the senses. These other senses include the kinesthetic sense, or the discernment of motion; the sensation of temperature, or distinguishing relative heat and cold; the awareness of pressure; the sense of equilibrium or balance; and the perception of pain. All of these senses involve a response to stimuli, which may be defined as any phenomenon (that is, an observable fact or event, such as an environmental change) that directly influences the activity or growth of a living organism. Each of these senses has a biological component as well as a physical or a chemical one. In the next few paragraphs, we briefly discuss what this means, first by considering the nervous system in general terms and then by looking at the physical and chemical receptors that transmit data through that system."

It is even possible that being able to smell was the stimulus that took a primitive fish and turned a small lump of olfactory tissue on its nerve cord into a brain. We think because we smelled. The argument is simple. Before sight and sound hijacked our attention, we shared with all life a sort of common sense, a chemical sense that depended on direct contact with matter in the water or the air. And for 90 per cent of our time on Earth, that was how things worked. Then the emphasis shifted. We learned to live instead with waves of energy, making sense of chaos, and becoming conscious. Which, of course, was a good thing ... but we need now to go back and pick up some useful talents that we abandoned on the way."

Smelling and Throwing Away Our Dirty Socks If you've come across a dirty sock, you not only got to experience one of the worst smells in the world, but you probably threw the sock as far away from yourself as possible in order to avoid the smell. What you did, smell the sock and then throw it far away, involved quite a bit more than you probably think about at any given time. You first had to sense an unpleasant odor through your nose. After your nose guided you to the smelly sock laying on the couch, you were able to visualize it as well. Once you combined your visual stimulation with that of the smell, you realized it was best to get rid of the sock. You initiated a series of hand and leg movements, which then resulted in you throwing the sock as far away as possible. All of this smelling and moving about involves certain types of special nerve cells that send signals to and from your brain in order to recognize the smelly sock and throw it away. Afferent Neurons Afferent neurons sense stimuli and send information to the brain."

Some 17th century writers claimed to have watched snakes catch flies or other animals between the forks of their tongues, using them like forceps. It is a common myth even today that snakes can sting you with their tongues. But none of those hypotheses is likely.

"text": "Select An Article Metallic taste or other bad taste in the mouth Sometimes our normal sense of taste can temporarily change, causing a metallic or other bad taste in the mouth. This may occur for a number of reasons. How do we taste? Tastes are detected within our mouth by special structures known as taste buds. There are an average of 10,000 taste buds in the mouth, mostly on the tongue, but some are also located on the roof of the mouth and in the back of the throat. Each of these taste buds has around 50 sensory receptors cells that respond to food and drink. The taste buds are sensitive to five basic tastes: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami (a meaty/savoury taste). Saliva in our mouth dissolves chemicals in the food and drink we consume, and tiny taste hairs on the receptor cells send signals along nerves to taste centres inside the brain. Smell also plays an important part in how we taste our food. The lining of the nose contains smell receptors, which pick up the smell of food, and these sensations work in combination with those picked up by the taste buds to distinguish numerous different flavours."

The main sensory organ of the visual system is the eye, which takes in the physical stimuli of light rays and transduces them into electrical and chemical signals that can be interpreted by the brain to construct physical images. The eye has three main layers: the sclera, which includes the cornea; the choroid, which includes the pupil, iris, and lens; and the retina, which includes receptor cells called rods and cones. The human visual system is capable of complex color perception, which is initiated by cones in the retina and completed by impulse integration in the brain. Depth perception is our ability to see in three dimensions and relies on both binocular (two-eye) and monocular (one-eye) cues. Key Termsphototransduction: The process whereby the various bodies in the retina convert light into electrical signals.retina: The thin layer of cells at the back of the eyeball where light is converted into neural signals sent to the brain.photoreceptor: A specialized neuron able to detect and react to light.

They have simple eyes (ocelli) which can only differentiate dark from light; they cannot form an image. They are composed of photoreceptors (light-sensitive cells) and pigments. Most caterpillars have a semi-circular ring of six ocelli on each side of the head. Butterflies and moths (like many other adult insects) have compound eyes and simple eyes. These eyes are made up of many hexagonal lens/corneas which focus light from each part of the insect's field of view onto a rhabdome (the equivalent of our retina).

Sensation is the process by which our sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent stimulus energies from the environment. Perception is the process by which we organize and interpret this information. Although we view sensation and perception separately to analyze and discuss them, they are actually parts of one continuous process. Bottom-up processing is sensory analysis that begins at the entry level, with informstion flowing from the sensory receptors to the brain. Top-down processing is analysis that begins with the brain and flows down, filtering information through our experience and expectations to produce perceptions. Distinguish between absolute and difference thresholds, and discuss whether we can sense stimuli below our absolute thresholds and be influenced by them. Each species comes equipped with sensitivies that enable it to survive and thrive. Psychophysics is the study of the relationships between the physical characteristics of stimuli and our psychological experience of them.

A mouthful of bittersweet chocolate cake with a molten centre can trigger potent memories of pleasure, lust and even love. But all it takes is one bad oyster to make you steer clear of this mollusc for life. Neuroscientists who study taste are just beginning to understand how and why the interaction of a few molecules on your tongue can trigger innate behaviours or intense memories. The sensors in our mouths that detect basic tastes — sweet, salty, bitter, sour and umami, and arguably a few others — are only the start of the story (see 'The finer points of taste', page S2 ). The way the brain represents these tastes is just as important. Researchers have recently developed a 'gustotopic map' based on the idea that, just as each taste bud on the tongue responds to a single taste, so there are regions of the brain that are similarly dedicated 1. The other recent revelation in taste research is that the receptors that detect bitter, sweet and umami are not restricted to the tongue. They are distributed throughout the stomach, intestine and pancreas, where they aid the digestive process by influencing appetite and regulating insulin production. They have also been found in the airways, where they have an impact on respiration, and even on sperm, where they affect maturation."

At brunch you order a vegetable omelet with turkey bacon while your best friend asks for blueberry pancakes and yogurt. You likely don't give your meals a second thought, but you don’t realize just how many things impact whether you have a sweet or salty tooth and tend to favor crunchy or smooth foods. Our gustatory receptor cells—that’s science lingo for taste buds—perceive four basic tastes: sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. You have about 10,000 buds, and not all are located on your tongue: Some are found on the roof of your mouth and others in your throat, which explains why medicine is so unpleasant going down the hatch. “Each taste bud has a receptor and is connected to sensory neurons that relay information about a particular basic taste to the brain,” says Joseph Pinzone, M. D., an endocrinologist and professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. And while everyone’s taste buds are similar, they are not the same. Studies show that our ability to taste begins in the womb. Amniotic fluids transfer flavors to the fetus, which eventually will begin to swallow different tastes at different rates. These first exposures stick with you after birth. ["

Perception is the process by which the brain selects, organizes, and interprets sensations; it is often influenced by learning, memory, emotions, and expectations. The human senses include sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch, as well as kinesthesia and the vestibular senses. Input from our senses is taken in through the body’s sensory receptors, which then convert the input energy into neural impulses. These neural impulses enter the cerebral cortex of the brain, where they are interpreted and organized in the process of perception.

Your body is trying to tell you it needs something or that something’s wrong, but what on earth is it? In some cases, a deficiency in your diet could be causing it, and a couple of simple tweaks can help alleviate the issue. Sometimes the hair loss isn’t related to the diet, but a result of illness or something else in your life that’s changed. Sometimes, if you have really thick, long hair like mine, and you don’t get regular trims, the hair gets so heavy that it can pull on the hair, causing more to fall out. While it’s normal to lose up to 100 hairs per day, or even 250 on the days you wash your hair, if you’re watching more and more strands fall to the floor as you brush your hair, or you notice excessive amounts on the shower floor, take a look at your diet and lifestyle to see if you can get to the root of the problem (no pun intended!). Deficiencies That Could Cause Hair Loss Protein: If you aren’t eating enough protein, you could notice that your hair is thinning. Your hair is mostly made of protein. You can get enough protein on the Beauty Detox diet (no animal products required! ), but if you just aren’t eating enough food in general or you tend to shy away from some of the plant protein sources because you don’t like them, you could try adding a deliberate boost."

"text": "If your hair is thinning or falling out, here are some natural ways to reinforce strength and vitality. “Doctor, my hair is thin and falling out. What should I do?”I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard this complaint from patients. There are many reasons for unhealthy hair: hormone imbalances, inadequate nutrition, lack of key minerals necessary for vibrant hair, smoking, and stress are the most common. Changes in skin and hair provide clues to underlying vitamin deficiencies. Since hair and skin reflect the overall condition of the body, I take a close look when my patients complain about thinning hair. What Hair is Made Of Knowing what hair is made of helps guide food and nutrients choices for strong hair. It also helps maintain skin and nail health. Hair is an outgrowth of filamentous (“hair-like”) cells made of keratin that grow from follicles found in the dermis—that biologically active layer of the skin. Keratins are structural proteins."

Encouraging hair growth takes a multipronged effort that starts with your breakfast and ends with the products you use before you turn in for the night. While some nutritional and lifestyle techniques are universal, black men should pay extra attention to moisturizing and accommodating the cuticle structure of African-American hair to promote growth.credit: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images No matter how long you're looking to grow your hair, you'll need to practice patience. From the Inside Out No matter your skin color, a good diet is the foundation for healthy hair. Focus on colorful fruits and vegetables full of vitamins A, C and E, and greens such as kale, spinach and broccoli. Vitamin B-rich foods are also key, as are those with plenty of protein, iron and zinc. In addition to a balanced diet, always stay hydrated to promote growth and discourage breakage. Speaking to Ebony, nutritionist Dr. Ro Brock recommends taking in half of your body weight, only in ounces -- so, 90 ounces for a 180-pound man -- of water per day, as well as taking biotin and multivitamin supplements to encourage hair growth. Lifestyle Changes Although exercise helps any type of hair grow, it's particularly important for African-American hair growth. A minimum of 30 minutes of exercise per day stimulates healthy blood flow to the hair follicles, according to Real Health magazine."

"text": "\"\"\"Gray hair is a sign of age, not wisdom. \"\" Having gray hair is a common occurrence to almost everyone especially at the adulthood stage. Hair has a tendency to lose its natural colour with advancing age and turn grey, but premature greying is a morbid condition and it makes even the young look older. Graying of hair may occur to some people who have medical conditions, but this should not worry you if you do not have any illness. If you knew that a healthy diet could prevent grey hair, would you change your eating habits? We keep being told that lifestyle and food intake are key factors in staying healthy and looking younger, but many of us just buy the food we like without analysing the contents to make sure we are consuming the right balance of vitamins and minerals. Greying hair often begins at age 35, and continues as we get older. By the age of 50, around half of the population has significant loss of colour. Natural remedies such as a good hair vitamin, having a balanced diet and maintenance of cleanliness have considerable effects in preventing gray hair. So, maintaining your youthful appearance is the best gift that you can give to yourself."

"text": "Vitamin Supplements for Natural Hair Loss Last updated: July 26th, 2017What causes hair loss - symptoms Hair loss can be caused by factors ranging from illness, medication, poor diet, hormones and over-styling. Any one of these causes can interfere with the hair growth cycle, and can prevent hair follicles from growing new hair. We lose on average 100-150 hairs per day, and hair grows at an average of ½ inch per month. But when you notice more extreme hair shedding or slowed hair growth than this, it could be a hair loss symptom. For women, your hair loss symptoms may be thinning hair or gradually more exposed scalp on the top of your head. For men, you may find a growing bald spot on top of your head. About 50% of people have some kind of hair loss by the age of 50. For hair loss symptoms due to aging or hormones, women’s loss tends to be temporary while men’s is most often permanent. But never fear, if men take action early and take supplements for hair growth like Viviscal Man, they can nourish thinning hair to prevent further hair loss symptoms. Hair loss symptoms can cause psychological stress for women, especially because society places such an emphasis on beautiful hair and hair as a source of women’s femininity."

"text": "Generally, if you want to change your hair color, you need to have your hair dyed. Constantly coloring your hair can lead to stripping and damaging of hair that only makes it weaker over time. If you want to go the non-chemical route, you can take Melancor. This is a supplement that allows the melanin in the pill to combine with your hair's natural melanin that gives it its color. When the two combine, hair cells become revitalized and natural color begins to come back and replace the gray.credit: Medioimages/Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images Step 1Swallow the Melancor pill whole; do not crush it. Melancor forces melanocytes to increase your body's natural formulation of melanin pigments. It also prevents DHT from hindering the growth of hair follicles, which also leads to gray hair. Step 2Take two pills twice daily. You should take them either during or after meals. You need a full stomach so that the pill does not make you nauseous."

Hair color is the pigmentation of hair follicles due to two types of melanin: eumelanin and pheomelanin. Generally, if more eumelanin is present, the color of the hair is darker; if less eumelanin is present, the hair is lighter. The darker a person's natural hair color is, the more individual hair follicles they have on their scalp. Levels of melanin can vary over time causing a person's hair color to change, and it is possible to have hair follicles of more than one color on the same person. Particular hair colors are associated with ethnic groups."

But, I hope I’m wrong! What’s your opinion about these products? Answer: For starters, let’s briefly review what causes the graying of hair and the potential role of catalase. The loss of melanin, a pigment which colors hair, is partially induced by a build up or overproduction of hydrogen peroxide in hair follicles. Catalase, an antioxidant enzyme produced by the body, helps convert hydrogen peroxide into two, non-bleaching substances – oxygen and water."

If the skin seems flakey or crusty or is cracking, or if the nose seems to be losing pigmentation, you’ll want to have your vet take a look at it. Your pet’s nose can change color either temporarily or permanently, for benign reasons or more serious ones. There are a wide variety of causes for nose pigmentation changes.

"text": "There are several features of a symptom or illness that make it a convenient target for proponents of unconventional therapies. Subjective symptoms are more likely to be targeted than objective conditions – you don’t see many so-called “alternative” birth control treatments. Symptoms for which placebo effects alone are likely to produce the illusion of effectiveness are good targets for ineffective treatments. Symptoms that vary naturally over time also are good targets – patients are likely to seek treatment when their symptoms are maximal, which means spontaneous regression to the mean will provide an effective illusion of efficacy for any intervention. Illnesses with a substantial psychological component (such as those that are worsened by emotional stress or that are emotional, such as anxiety) are likely to benefit from non-specific effects of the therapeutic interaction, rendering the treatment itself irrelevant. Finally, any condition or symptom for which there is currently no effective treatment provides a market ripe for exploitation. Tinnitus has many of these features. Tinnitus describes the subjective experience of spontaneous noise perceived in one or both ears, which can be a buzzing, hiss, tone, or ringing sound. The severity of the tinnitus, its loudness, can vary over time, but perhaps more importantly the degree to which the tinnitus is bothersome can vary considerably. The sound is distracting and can have a significant impact on quality of life."

Over 50 million Americans have experienced tinnitus or head noises, which is the perception of sound without an external source being present. About one in five people with tinnitus have bothersome tinnitus, which distresses them and negatively affects their quality of life and/or functional health status. Those individuals with persistent and bothersome tinnitus will often seek medical care. Tinnitus may be an intermittent or continuous sound in one or both ears. Its pitch can go from a low roar to a high squeal or whine or it can have many sounds. Persistent tinnitus is tinnitus that lasts more than six months. Prior to any treatment, it is important to undergo a thorough examination and evaluation by your otolaryngologist (ENT doctor) and audiologist. An essential part of the treatment will be your understanding of tinnitus and its causes. What causes tinnitus?"

Fife Current as of 15 February 2017Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-809324-5.03778-0 Get rights and content Abstract Tinnitus is the perception of noise or ringing in the ears when there is no external sound source. Tinnitus is very prevalent and increases with increasing age. The most common presentation is high pitched cricket sounds, buzzing or ringing in both ears and often but not always associated with hearing loss. There are many possible causes of tinnitus but few specific established treatments. This article reviews current classification, outlines an approach for evaluating tinnitus in patients and a review of its management. Keywords Hearing loss; Pulsatile tinnitus; Ringing; Tinnitus Introduction Tinnitus is the medical term for the perception of sound in the absence of an external environmental sound. The perceived sounds are not limited to ringing, however. People with tinnitus often describe abnormal sounds as ringing, cicada-like, buzzing, hissing, or humming. Tinnitus can be pulsatile, roaring, clicking, and high or low pitched, and it may seem to come from one ear or from both ears or even inside the head. Approximately 10% of the population seeks medical attention for tinnitus, though only 0.5% reports a severe impact on their quality of life."

"text": "Print Diagnosis Your doctor will examine your ears, head and neck to look for possible causes of tinnitus. Tests include: Hearing (audiological) exam. As part of the test, you'll sit in a soundproof room wearing earphones through which will be played specific sounds into one ear at a time. You'll indicate when you can hear the sound, and your results are compared with results considered normal for your age. This can help rule out or identify possible causes of tinnitus. Movement. Your doctor may ask you to move your eyes, clench your jaw, or move your neck, arms and legs. If your tinnitus changes or worsens, it may help identify an underlying disorder that needs treatment. Imaging tests. Depending on the suspected cause of your tinnitus, you may need imaging tests such as CT or MRI scans."

"text": "\"Harvard Women's Health Watch Tinnitus: Ringing in the ears and what to do about it Constant noise in the head -- such as ringing in the ears -- rarely indicates a serious health problem, but it sure can be annoying. Here's how to minimize it. Updated: August 16, 2017 Published: September, 2011Tinnitus (pronounced tih-NITE-us or TIN-ih-tus) is sound in the head with no external source. For many, it's a ringing sound, while for others, it's whistling, buzzing, chirping, hissing, humming, roaring, or even shrieking. The sound may seem to come from one ear or both, from inside the head, or from a distance. It may be constant or intermittent, steady or pulsating. Almost everyone has had tinnitus for a short time after being exposed to extremely loud noise. For example, attending a loud concert can trigger short-lived tinnitus. Some medications (especially aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs taken in high doses) can cause tinnitus that goes away when the drug is discontinued. When it lasts more than six months, it's known as chronic tinnitus."

"text": "Tinnitus Diet Posted by Anne in Useful Information · 6 Comments Yes…Diet can make a difference in lessening the effects of tinnitus…but instead of just masking the problem, we recommend focusing on solving the root cause as this is the only sure way to give permanent relief. We recommend a program called “Tinnitus Miracle”, you can check it out here: www.tinnitusmiracle.com A good diet has been proven to reduce tinnitus sounds in sufferers. A tinnitus diet would require the total elimination of “Fast Foods” and would be the first step towards reducing tinnitus sounds. Most “Fast Foods” contain high levels of saturated fats, salt and many chemicals to enhance the longevity of the product, all of which will increase the volume of the tinnitus. The Mediterranean Diet It is recommended that the most successful diet for tinnitus sufferers to follow is the Mediterranean Diet. It works best with regular activity and the one component that sets the Mediterranean diet apart from the rest is the olive oil. The United Nations gave it recognition in November 2010. The diet consists predominately of: Fresh fruit & Vegetables Cheese & Yogurt Whole grains & Nuts Fish & Poultry Olives & Olive oil The intake of red meat is restricted to once a week Red wine is consumed in moderation After going onto the Mediterranean diet, it can be noted that the tendency to have hypertension and inflammation is brought down significantly. Reduced hypertension may also result in reduced tinnitus. Other Diet Strategies As part of a tinnitus diet the eating of liver has been shown as a useful food in the treatment of tinnitu s. It is often thought that liver was a high source of fat and calories."

"text": "What is Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears? Tinnitus (“tin-eh-tus” rather than “tin-EYE-tus”) is the common ringing sound, buzzing, or hissing that people hear inside their ear. It is an abnormal perception of a sound when no sound is actually present. Tinnitus is a very common disorder affecting over 50 million people in the United States. The ringing in ears may be intermittent, constant or fluctuant, mild or severe, and may vary from a low roaring sensation to a high pitched type of sound. It is commonly associated with hearing loss. << Back to Other Ear Conditions What causes it? Tinnitus itself is not a condition but a sign of a change inside the ear or sound processing centers in the brain. The auditory system involves highly complicated inner ear structures, many neural pathways leading to and throughout the brain in a complex neural network. Tinnitus can be intermittent or constant and present as a ringing in the ears — or buzzing, hissing, static, or other sound."

"text": "\"There are presently no FDA-approved drugs specifically for tinnitus, and no medications that have been shown to reverse the neural hyperactivity at the root of tinnitus. Drugs cannot cure tinnitus, but they may provide relief from some severe tinnitus symptoms. Patients should consult their healthcare providers for guidance on medications that may be most appropropriate for their situation. Not all drugs are effective or appropropriate for all patients. Moreover, the introduction of any drug can result in undesired side effects and/or counteract existing prescription drug treatments. Antidepressants and Antianxiety Drugs The medications most often used in tinnitus management are psychoactive drugs that treat the behavioral issues related to tinnitus. These drugs can help relieve the stress, anxiety, and depression related to tinnitus, minimizing the psychological burden of the condition. Because there is a circular relationship between negative emotions and tinnitus (tinnitus causes anxiety, which makes tinnitus seem worse, which causes more anxiety...) it is also possible that psychoactive drugs may make tinnitus itself less noticeable for some patients. Common antidepressant drugs used in relation to tinnitus include: Clomipramine (Anafranil)Desipramine (Norpramin)Imipramine (Tofranil)Nortriptyline (Pamelor)Protriptyline (Vivactil)Commonly used antianxiety medications include: Alprazolam (Xanax)Clonazepam (Klonopin)Diazepam (Valium)Lorazepam (Ativan)Again, antidepressants and antianxiety drugs may help to alleviate the emotional and psychological burden of tinnitus for some patients, but they do not appear to impact tinnitus itself. Research shows very limited efficacy in patients without anxiety, depression or obsessive compulsive disorder."

It may be soft or loud, high pitched or low pitched. You might hear it in either one or both ears. Roughly 10 percent of the adult population of the United States has experienced tinnitus lasting at least five minutes in the past year. This amounts to nearly 25 million Americans. What causes tinnitus? Tinnitus (pronounced tin-NY-tus or TIN-u-tus) is not a disease. It is a symptom that something is wrong in the auditory system, which includes the ear, the auditory nerve that connects the inner ear to the brain, and the parts of the brain that process sound.

Nothing could be further from the truth. While Ginkgo biloba extract is available in any health food store and many discount stores, individuals with tinnitus should exercise care when selecting a product. Due to the lack of regulation of the herbal and vitamin markets within the United States, most ginkgo products are not what they appear to be. C onsumer Labs has tested many nationally recognized brands of Ginkgo biloba and found that less than 23 percent contained all the active ingredients necessary to make a clinically effective extract. Either they had less than the specified amount or they do not meet the minimum requirements for standardized 24/6 Ginkgo Biloba Extract (GBE). T oday, inferior quality ginkgo products are flooding the market at deceptively low prices. Many of these products are Chinese in origin and they do not meet the barest minimum standards.

Healthy Eating with the Seasons What's New and Beneficial about Green Peas We don't usually think about green peas as an exotic food in terms of nutrient composition—but we should. Because of their sweet taste and starchy texture, we know that green peas must contain some sugar and starch (and they do). But they also contain a unique assortment of health-protective phytonutrients. One of these phytonutrients—a polyphenol called coumestrol--has recently come to the forefront of research with respect to stomach cancer protection. A Mexico City-based study has shown that daily consumption of green peas along with other legumes lowers risk of stomach cancer (gastric cancer), especially when daily coumestrol intake from these legumes is approximately 2 milligrams or higher. Since one cup of green peas contains at least 10 milligrams of coumestrol, it's not difficult for us to obtain this remarkable health benefit. The unique phytonutrients in green peas also provide us with key antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits."

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)."

Often times, if not almost exclusively, Cichlids' color appears washed out because of a poor or incorrect diet. Not all fish foods are created equally, and therefore, it becomes necessary to use discretion when selecting the food you will feed them. You want to avoid foods that have any mammalian fat, and those containing high amounts of protein should be fed in small amounts. I personally recommend you only get foods with 40-48% Min. Crude Protein, 2-8.5% Min. Crude Fat, and 2% Min. Crude Fiber (and no more than 8%). But any flake food containing Spirulina is recommended above any other type.

"text": "Peas Pea is a frost-hardy, cool-season vegetable that can be grown throughout most of the United States, wherever a cool season of sufficient duration exists. For gardening purposes, peas may be classified as garden peas (English peas), snap peas and snow peas (sugar peas). Garden pea varieties have smooth or wrinkled seeds. The smooth-seeded varieties tend to have more starch than the wrinkled-seeded varieties. The wrinkled-seeded varieties are generally sweeter and usually preferred for home use. The smooth-seeded types are used more often to produce ripe seeds that are used like dry beans and to make split-pea soup. Snap peas have been developed from garden peas to have low-fiber pods that can be snapped and eaten along with the immature peas inside. Snow peas are meant to be harvested as flat, tender pods before the peas inside develop at all. The Southern pea (cowpea) is an entirely different warm-season vegetable that is planted and grown in the same manner as beans. Recommended Varieties The following varieties (listed in order of maturity) have wrinkled seeds and are resistant to fusarium wilt unless otherwise indicated."

"text": "\"Growing Super Sprouts, Types of Sprouts and Their Benefits What are super sprouts exactly? Sprouts are a raw, living superfood germinated from the seeds of various plants. When sprouted, they provide a highly concentrated source of predigested vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, chlorophyll and other health enhancing phytochemical compounds unique to each sprout variety. Living seeds release these nutrients upon sprouting to naturally help the plant develop during the beginning stages of its growth cycle. This results in a highly nourishing food that is full of fiber as well as a fresh lively flavor and texture. The concept of sprouting seeds from grains and vegetables has been recorded to some degree throughout human history, with references in the Book of Daniel as well as evidence of use among ancient Chinese physicians who were believed to have used them to heal and cure illnesses. Sprouts, like alfalfa, broccoli and wheatgrass, have been utilized as a dietary food source among health conscious communities around the world since the 1960's. It wasn't until the 80's and 90's, however, that consuming raw sprouts as a salad vegetable became popular amid a more mainstream audience. They became particularly famous in 1997, when researchers from John Hopkins University discovered that broccoli sprouts contained major amounts of the substance glucoraphanin, a precursor to the natural antioxidant and cancer-inhibiting detoxifying isothiocyanate called sulforaphane (SGS). ( Source)Today, many health institutions are endorsing sprout consumption as part of a health promoting diet to help in the treatment of serious diseases and chronic illnesses."

While I firmly believe that regular use of whole food supplements can ensure optimal health, I also believe that your primary source of natural vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients and macronutrients should be fresh, whole foods (locally grown, whenever possible). What follows is a list of all of the major vitamins and minerals that you need to be at your best, as well as common healthy foods that are naturally rich in each vitamin and mineral. If your health research leads you to believe that you need to consume more of any particular vitamin or mineral, before you turn to whole food supplements, I encourage you to focus on eating more whole foods that are rich in the vitamins and/or minerals that you need. Vitamin AVitamin A is needed for night vision, healthy skin, proper digestion of protein, healthy mucosal linings, and a healthy immune system. 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.

Having fruits during pregnancy is always considered healthy, but there are few fruits which when taken in larger amounts,harms both mother and developing fetus.1) Grape is one such fruit, while many doctors suggest not to have grapes during pregnancy, few doctors give green signal to having it in first two trimesters, as they provide nutritional benefits to both baby and mother, provided taken in little amounts. The major concern with grapes is, the fruit contains large amounts of a toxic compound called Resveratrol, this toxic compound is harmful for the expectant mother whose hormones are imbalanced. Experts also suggest to avoid grapes during third trimester as consuming grapes increases excessive heat in the expectant mother.

"text": "Pineapple’s Amazing Health Benefits By Jenny Hills, Medical Writer and Researcher Food & Nutrition, Health Pineapple is one of my favorite fruits, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. And indeed pineapples became one of the of the most popular tropical fruits in the world. Actually, they are second only to bananas as America’s favorite tropical fruit. They are delicious, juicy and balance the tastes of sweet and tart. A short history Pineapple (Ananas comosus) belongs to the Bromeliaceae family, from which one of its most important compounds, the enzyme bromelain, was named. The plant was indigenous to South America and was first discovered by Columbus in 1493 on the Caribbean island Guadalupe. He brought it back with him to Europe and there were attempts to grow this fruit in Europe, but since this fruit needs tropical climate, it didn’t flourish in this region. Advertisement By the end of the 16th century, Portuguese and Spanish explorers introduced pineapples into many of their colonies in Asia, Africa and the South Pacific, where the pineapple is still being grown today. Because of its rarity and high price in those times, it was considered as a status item. In the 18th century, pineapples began to be cultivated in Hawaii."

"text": "4 Foods That Dissolve Blood Clots Bust blood clots and stay strong, one bite at a time When we sustain an injury and bleed, our blood naturally clots to prevent us from bleeding to death. Ironically, this life-saving process is also one of the contributing causes of heart attack and stroke, the leading causes of death and disability in the US. Clotting in arteries is often linked to atherosclerosis, a silent condition in which the diameter of the vessel is narrowed by plaque deposits. As the arteries continue to narrow, pressure builds up as the blood tries to force its way through the constricted opening. Eventually, the plaque succumbs to the pressure and ruptures, triggering the formation of thrombus, or what is commonly known as a blood clot. The process in which blood clots inside the blood vessel is called thrombosis. If a thrombus blocks the blood supply to the heart, a heart attack occurs. If this happens to the brain, it is called a stroke. Blood clots can also form in the major veins, especially in the legs (think “economy class syndrome”). If a blood clot in the veins dislodges and gets stuck in the lungs, we get an equally dangerous condition called pulmonary embolism."

Unfortunately, oranges, like all citrus fruits, are acidic and are likely to give babies younger than 12 months old rashes. The acid can cause terrible diaper rashes and even rashes around the mouth an lips due to the high levels of acidity. With that being said, many parents have offered their younger infants tastes of oranges, orange juice or other acidic fruits and have had no reactions. If you want to introduce citrus earlier than by all means give it a try but please be on the lookout for possible reactions!With new studies being released since 2008, the AAP now says that there may be no need to delay foods that are typically allergenic. This applies mostly to babies who have no known allergy/sensitivity risks. If you wish to introduce citrus foods earlier than previously recommended, just watch for any reactions. As with other acidic foods, if your baby is prone to sensitivities with foods, you may want to wait to introduce Oranges until after his first birthday."

We all know the spiky fruit is delicious, but is there any truth to the claim that pineapple can help reduce inflammation? Aside from being a great source of Vitamin C, pineapples contain the enzyme bromelain, which is a natural anti-inflammatory agent that plays a role in the body’s healing process. Research indicates that bromelain helps reduce swelling, bruising and pain in musculoskeletal injuries, and can reduce symptoms of arthritis, bursitis and tendonitis. According to the American Cancer Society and the University of Maryland Medical Center, bromelain may also help with these 9 things: Side effects of chemotherapy Diarrhea and inflammation for people suffering from inflammatory bowel disease (IBS)Digestive issues – bromelain helps your digestive heath by breaking down the excess in your digestive tract and flushing it out your system Blood clotting – it keeps platelets in the blood from sticking together Arthritis due to its anti-inflammatory effect Surgery, sprains and strains and tendinitis Sinusitis Wounds and burns Infection Although these studies look promising, further research is needed. The good news is, most of us who have tried pineapple for these things have had good results. I've had many people in our community tell me their stories, too. What can be stated with certainty is that the German Commission E has approved bromelain (issued as a supplement) to treat swelling and inflammation after surgery - a clear endorsement of its positive effects. So if you want to discover nature’s cure for inflammation, consider increasing your bromelain intake by having pineapple juice for inflammation. The best store of natural bromelain is fresh pineapple, as pineapple quickly loses its natural bromelain stores on heating."

In the Islamic world, however, calligraphy has been used to a much greater extent and in astonishingly varied and imaginative ways, which have taken the written word far beyond pen and paper into all art forms and materials. For these reasons, calligraphy may be counted as a uniquely original feature of Islamic art. The genius of Islamic calligraphy lies not only in the endless creativity and versatility, but also in the balance struck by calligraphers between transmitting a text and expressing its meaning through a formal aesthetic code. The Arabic language, and subsequently the art of calligraphy, is held in great esteem by Muslims because Arabic was the language in which the Qu’ran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad in the 7th century. The Arabic text of the Qu’ran is sacred to Muslims, and its high status gave rise to an associated respect for books in general. However, it is important to remember that while the Qu’ran’s holy status provides an explanation for calligraphy's importance, by no means all Arabic calligraphy is religious in content."

The United Nations established supervising and reporting agencies to monitor the established armistice lines. In addition, discussions related to the armistice enforcement, led to the signing of the separate Tripartite Declaration of 1950 between the United States, Britain, and France. In it, they pledged to take action within and outside the United Nations to prevent violations of the frontiers or armistice lines. It also outlined their commitment to peace and stability in the area, their opposition to the use or threat of force, and reiterated their opposition to the development of an arms race.

"text": "\"Sufism {soo' - fizm}General Information The word Sufism, which is probably derived from the Arabic suf (\"\"wool\"\"; hence sufi, \"\"a person wearing an ascetic's woolen garment\"\"), denotes Islamic mysticism. Although outside movements have had some influence on Sufi terminology, Sufism is definitely rooted in Islam itself. Its development began in the late 7th and 8th centuries when worldliness and loose morals in ruling Umayyad circles evoked a strong reaction among certain pious persons. Individuals such as Hasan of Basra (d. 728) urged the Muslim community to heed the Koranic call to fear God, its warnings for Judgment Day, and its reminders of the transitoriness of life in this world. A new emphasis on the love of God brought the transition from asceticism to mysticism. The woman saint Rabia of Basra (d. 801) called for love of God \"\"for his own sake,\"\" not out of fear of hell or hope for heaven. Sufism was early criticized by those who feared that the Sufis' concern for personal experiential knowledge of God could lead to neglect of established religious observances and that the Sufis' ideal of unity with God was a denial of the Islamic principle of the \"\"otherness\"\" of God. The execution (922) of al - Hallaj, who claimed mystical communion with God, is related to this second issue, and in later centuries some Sufis did indeed move to a theosophical monism (for example, Ibn Arabi, d. 1240; and Jili, d. c. 1428). By combining a traditional theological position with a moderate form of Sufism, al - Ghazali made mysticism widely acceptable in the Muslim world.

S24 1979Orientalism is a 1978 book by Edward W. Said, about the cultural representations that are the bases of Orientalism, defined as the West 's patronizing representations of \"\" The East \"\"—the societies and peoples who inhabit the places of Asia, North Africa, and the Middle East. According to Said, orientalism (the Western scholarship about the Eastern World) is inextricably tied to the imperialist societies who produced it, which makes much Orientalist work inherently political and servile to power. [ 1]According to Said, in the Middle East, the social, economic, and cultural practices of the ruling Arab élites indicate they are imperial satraps who have internalized the romanticized \"\" Arab Culture \"\" created by French, British and, later, American Orientalists; the examples include critical analyses of the colonial literature of Joseph Conrad, which conflates a people, a time, and a place into a narrative of incident and adventure in an exotic land. [ 2]The critical application of post-structuralism in the scholarship of Orientalism influenced the development of literary theory, cultural criticism, and the field of Middle Eastern studies, especially regarding how academics practice their intellectual enquiry when examining, describing, and explaining the Middle East. [ 3] The scope of Said's scholarship established Orientalism as a foundation text in the field of post-colonial culture studies, which examines the denotations and connotations of Orientalism, and the history of a country's post-colonial period. [ 4]As a public intellectual, Edward Said debated Orientalism with historians and scholars of area studies, notably, the historian Bernard Lewis, who described the thesis of Orientalism as \"\"anti-Western\"\". [ 5] For subsequent editions of Orientalism, Said wrote an \"\"Afterword\"\" (1995) [6] and a \"\"Preface\"\" (2003) [7] addressing criticisms of the content, substance, and style of the work as cultural criticism.

The area (also known as Land of Israel and as Palestine) is the birthplace of the Hebrew language, the place that the Hebrew Bible was composed and the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity. It contains sites sacred to Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Samaritanism, Druze and the Bahá'í Faith. The Land of Israel has come under the sway of various empires and has been home to a variety of ethnicities, but was predominantly Jewish from roughly 1,000 years before the Common Era (BCE) until the 3rd century of the Common Era (CE). [ 1]The adoption of Christianity by the Roman Empire in the 4th century led to a Christian majority which lasted until the 7th century when the area was conquered by the Arab Empire. It gradually became predominantly Moslem until the Crusades between 1096 and 1291, when it was the focal point of conflict between Christianity and Islam. From the 13th Century it was mainly Moslem with Arabic as the dominant language and was first part of the Syrian province of the Mamluk Sultanate and then part of the Ottoman Empire until the British conquest in 1917. A Jewish national movement, Zionism, emerged in the late-19th century (partially in response to growing anti-Semitism) and Aliyah (Jewish immigration to the Land of Israel) increased. After World War I, Ottoman territories in the Levant came under British and French control and the League of Nations granted the British a Mandate to rule Palestine which was to be turned into a Jewish National Home. A rival Arab nationalism also claimed rights over the former Ottoman territories and sought to prevent Jewish migration into Palestine, leading to growing Arab–Jewish tensions."

History [ edit]The site of Rosetta was inhabited throughout the history of Ancient Egypt, then known as Khito [ citation needed], a hieratic word meaning \"\"the populace\"\", under Menes reign. In the Ptolemaic era, the town was renamed to Bolbitine ( Bolbitinum, Bolbitinon, the name of one of the seven mouths of the Nile in Herodotus ).

The Rosetta Stone, not to be confused with the language learning software, is a fragment of a granite-like rock with a text carved in three different languages. It was found by troops of Napoleon in 1799 in the wall of a fort in the city of Rosetta (Rashid in Arabic), Egypt, which is near Alexandria. It is about 45 inches high. 28.5 inches wide, and 11 inches thick, weighing in at about About ¾ of a ton (1676 pounds - our replica weighs 90-95 pounds). It is a broken piece of granodiorite stone that was originally part of a 5-6 ft. tall stela, or column, located in a temple elsewhere in the Nile Delta. The stone passed into British hands and was taken to England. It is now housed in the British Museum in London, where it is the most popular attraction in the museum. The writing on the stone is a decree issued jointly by the Pharaoh, Ptolemy V Epiphanes (205-180 BC), and a council of Egyptian priests."

President Carter and the U. S. Government played leading roles in creating the opportunity for this agreement to occur. From the start of his administration, Carter and his Secretary of State, Cyrus Vance, pursued intensive negotiations with Arab and Israeli leaders, hoping to reconvene the Geneva Conference, which had been established in December 1973 to seek an end to the Arab-Israeli dispute. President Jimmy Carter with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin at Camp David, Maryland in September 1978. ( Jimmy Carter Library)As Carter and Vance met with individual leaders from Arab countries and Israel during the spring of 1977, negotiations for a return to Geneva appeared to gain some momentum. On May 17, 1977, an Israeli election upset stunned the Carter administration as the moderate Israeli Labor Party lost for the first time in Israel’s history. Menachem Begin, the leader of the conservative Likud Party and the new Israeli Prime Minister, appeared intractable on the issue of exchanging land for peace. His party’s commitment to “greater Israel” left Carter with an even more challenging situation during the summer of 1977. In addition to the new reality of a Likud government in Israel, long-standing rivalries among Arab leaders also played a role in blocking substantive progress in negotiations for a Geneva conference. By early November, Egyptian President Sadat found himself frustrated by the lack of movement and made a dramatic move, announcing on November 9 that he would be willing to go to Jerusalem."

Sadat was a senior member of the Free Officers who overthrew King Farouk in the Egyptian Revolution of 1952, and a close confidant of President Gamal Abdel Nasser, under whom he served as Vice President twice and whom he succeeded as President in 1970. In his eleven years as president, he changed Egypt 's trajectory, departing from many of the political and economic tenets of Nasserism, re-instituting a multi-party system, and launching the Infitah economic policy. As President, he led Egypt in the Yom Kippur War of 1973 to regain Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, which Israel had occupied since the Six-Day War of 1967, making him a hero in Egypt and, for a time, the wider Arab World. Afterwards, he engaged in negotiations with Israel, culminating in the Egypt–Israel Peace Treaty; this won him and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin the Nobel Peace Prize, making Sadat the first Muslim Nobel laureate. Though reaction to the treaty—which resulted in the return of Sinai to Egypt—was generally favorable among Egyptians, [2] it was rejected by the country's Muslim Brotherhood and the left, which felt Sadat had abandoned efforts to ensure a Palestinian state. [ 2] With the exception of Sudan, the Arab world and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) strongly opposed Sadat's efforts to make a separate peace with Israel without prior consultations with the Arab states. [ 2] His refusal to reconcile with them over the Palestinian issue resulted in Egypt being suspended from the Arab League from 1979 to 1989. [ 3] [4] [5] [6] The peace treaty was also one of the primary factors that led to his assassination.

"text": "Dog birth control should be taken into consideration by pet owners who want to avoid unwanted pregnancies. The birth control options range from neutering to pills. Weighing the pros and cons and deciding on the best choice for your dog is important. Spaying Spaying is a permanent sterilization of the dog. Spaying or ovariohysterectomy is the surgery that removes the uterus and the ovaries of a female dog. The best time for spaying is when the dog is between 6 to 9 months old, but spaying can be done at any age in the dog's life. The procedure is uncomplicated, but some dogs may react negatively to anesthesia. The dog should recover within 24 hours after the surgery. The pros for spaying are: No heat cycles and behavioral changes related to these cycles The dog will be friendlier Fewer behavioral problems Zero risk of breast and reproductive system cancers A spayed dog is more prone to: Joint problems Obesity, so the dog's diet must be supervised and the calorie intake should be reduced to prevent weight gain Cancers Thyroid disease Dog Birth Control Pill The dog birth control pill is an alternative to spaying, and is effective if the pills are administrated and taken properly. The pill contains megestrol acetate and is administrated at the beginning of the heat cycle of the female dog."

A big advantage is the ease of administering the beef and pork flavored tablet but it should be administered on full stomach. And while it avoids the oily liquid pesticides on the back that many clients don ' t like, if a pet is allergic to beef or pork this is a big disadvantage. The best thing about this product (which is similar to Capstar) is the quick kill of adult fleas working within 30 minutes and being almost 100 percent effective against fleas within 4 hours of giving it, and lasting for a month!!! ( much longer than a Capstar pill.) A big problem is not only the expense but it also has no tick coverage."

"text": "Medical Uses of the Birth Control Pill Posted under Health Guides. Updated 2 June 2016. Key Facts Adolescent girls and young women are often prescribed birth control pills for irregular or absent menstrual periods, menstrual cramps, acne, PMS, endometriosis, Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) and for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Girls who are diagnosed with PCOS are often prescribed oral contraceptives to lower their hormone levels and regulate their menstrual periods. Birth control pills (sometimes called “the Pill,” oral contraceptive pills-OCP’s, combined oral contraceptives-COC’s, or hormonal pills) contain one or two types of synthetic (man-made) female hormones, estrogen and progestin. Similar hormones are normally made by the ovaries. There are many different types of oral contraceptive pills. What kinds of medical conditions can be helped with birth control pills? Birth control pills are used to treat many different conditions including: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): is a hormonal imbalance which causes irregular menstrual periods, acne, and excess hair growth. For girls whose menstrual periods are irregular (too few or not at all), birth control pills work by lowering certain hormone levels to regulate menstrual periods."

By Dawn Stacey, Ph D, LMHC | Reviewed by Meredith Shur, MDUpdated March 23, 2018Share Pin Email Print Jonathan Nourok/Getty Images One of the most common questions that people ask is whether or not they can buy over-the-counter birth control pills. Although there are some great birth control options that you can buy over-the-counter, unfortunately, birth control pills are not one of them. As of now, the only available over-the-counter birth control pills are for emergency contraception. How to Get Birth Control Pills You need a doctor's prescriptions to get birth control pills (either progestin-only pills, combination pills, or extended cycle pills ). In order to write this prescription, you will need to talk with your doctor about your medical history and get your blood pressure checked. Your doctor may require a pelvic exam and a breast exam, but this is not universal. Why Aren't There Over-The-Counter Birth Control Pills? There is a lot of debate on this topic. Many women argue that menstruation and preventing pregnancy are not diseases."

Target advertises the $9-per-month birth control pills on its website, and CNSNews.com confirmed and reconfirmed that the $9 pills were in fact available at the Target near Georgetown Law. “Without insurance coverage, contraception can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school,\"\" Fluke testified before Pelosi's panel.

The mini-pill has only progestin in it. Because this pill doesn’t contain estrogen, it may not have as many side effects Path to improved health This pill works in three different ways. First, the progestin-only pill thickens the mucus between your uterus (where a baby grows) and your vagina, the tube leading to the uterus. Sperm have a hard time getting through the thick mucus to reach the egg. Second, like regular birth control pills, the progestin-only pill makes your body “think” that you are pregnant and stops your ovary from releasing an egg. This does not happen as often as with combination birth control pills. Forty percent of women taking the progestin-only pill will continue to ovulate. Third, the mini-pill causes changes in your uterus that make your uterus less likely to let a pregnancy get started, even if an egg is released."

"text": "\"Birth Control Pills - Breakthrough Bleeding Medically reviewed on Mar 19, 2018 by L. Anderson, Pharm D. Why Do I Get Breakthrough Bleeding? When any birth control pill is started, there is a chance that breakthrough bleeding (also called spotting) may occur during the first few months of use. Breakthrough bleeding occurs as your body adjusts to different hormone levels. Breakthrough bleeding is normal and is usually a temporary side effect with birth control use. The chances for breakthrough bleeding are greater with progestin-only pills (POP or \"\"mini-pill\"\"), continuous-cycle or extended-cycle birth control pills. These types of contraceptive regimens may lead to more irregular bleeding than the traditional 28-day schedule (21 days of an active pill and 7 days of inactive pill). Progestin-only pills include brands such as: Camila Errin Heather Jolivette Nora-BENor-QDWith extended-cycle birth control pills your period occurs 4 times a years. Extended-cycle dosing is given as 84 days of active pills and 7 days of inactive pills.

Answer by Trisha R Confidence votes 15.2KStopping birth control changes your hormone level, that's why the tender breasts. Unless you have had unprotected sex and are prego. Tender swollen breasts are not usually a symptom seen with stopping the pill. As stated above, it is a symptom of pregnancy however.

"text": "\"Aspirin Dosage for Dogs By Amber L. Drake Canine Behaviorist Reviewed by Veterinarian Clare Deming Source Aspirin can be used to treat dogs that are in pain. However, before you give your dog aspirin, it's important to understand the correct dosage for your dog, as well as the possible side-effects aspirin can have on your pet. Correct Aspirin Dosage The following dosage guidelines are provided for informational purposes only and are not meant to replace professional veterinary consultation and care. Consult your vet directly to determine if administering aspirin is the right treatment for your pet and confirm the correct dosage based on your dog's exact weight. As a general guideline, the following table may be utilized: Aspirin for Dogs (once or twice daily)Weight Amount of Aspirin Common Dog Breeds~5 lbs 25-50 mg OR 1/2 baby aspirin Chihuahua, Pomeranian, Chinese Crested~10 lbs 50-100 mg OR 1 baby aspirin Pekingese, Boston Terrier, Miniature Fox Terrier~20 lbs 100- 200 mg OR 1/2 adult aspirin Miniature Poodle, Beagle, Pembroke Welsh Corgi, West Highland Terrier~40 lbs 200- 400 mg OR 1 adult aspirin Samoyed, Vizsla, Shar-Pei~60 lbs 300- 600 mg OR 1-2 adult aspirin Staffordshire Terrier, Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever~80 lbs 400- 800 mg OR 2 adult aspirin Akita, Cane Corso, Rottweiler~100 lbs+ 500- 1000 mg OR 2-3 adult aspirin Bullmastiff, Great Dane, Saint Bernard According to Vet Info.com, while aspirin should never be given to puppies because their systems can't break it down, you can give your adult dog aspirin to relieve pain and/or inflammation, and you should always give it with food. The recommended dosage is 5 mg to 10 mg of aspirin per pound of a dog's weight, as recommended by your veterinarian, and it can be given once every 12 hours. Let your vet know how many milligrams are in the type of aspirin tablet you intend to use, as found on the container label, and your vet will recommend how to cut the tablet down to reach the proper dosage. Side Effects of Aspirin Usage While aspirin can be effective and is readily available, there are possible adverse side effects, as well as reasons aspirin use is not advisable in some circumstances. Stomach upset - Aspirin can upset a dog's stomach, which can interfere with the ultimate goal of relieving your dog's pain if he throws up the medication. Buffered aspirin is usually easier on a dog's stomach than non-buffered aspirin, especially if your vet advises you to give repeated doses."

Doctors prescribe amoxicillin to treat infections caused by bacteria that are sensitive to the drug, including E. coli, staphylococcus, streptococcus, H. influenzae, and H. pylori. Your doctor may prescribe amoxicillin to treat infections of the skin, throat, ears, nose, stomach, lungs, and urinary tract infections (UTI). However, the drug will not work against infections caused by viruses such as cold and flu. Also, guidelines urge doctors to prescribe amoxicillin only when an infection is strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) first approved amoxicillin in the 1980s. Today, different drug companies produce this antibiotic: Brand names include Amoxil and Moxatag. Amoxicillin Warnings It's important to know that once you start a course of amoxicillin, you should finish the whole course. Do not stop taking amoxicillin, even if you feel better; instead, finish your entire prescription. Not treating your infection completely can make it come back stronger."

"text": "Breastfeeding and Birth Control For the nursing mother who wants to space her pregnancies, there are many birth control options to choose from. Each method offers advantages and disadvantages. As long as the nursing mother is exclusively breastfeeding, (nursing frequently day and night with no supplemental feedings), the baby is younger than 6 months of age, and the mother has not started having periods, she is more than 98% protected against pregnancy. This period of exclusive nursing means not only no supplemental feedings of water or formula, but also little or no pacifier use. All of the baby’s sucking needs are met at the breast, which means cue feedings around the clock. As long as the mother has had no vaginal bleeding after 56 days postpartum, and the baby receives no supplemental feeds, she has only about a 2% chance of becoming pregnant (this compares to the combined birth control pill, which is about 98%-99% effective if taken every day without missing a dose). It is important to understand that as soon as there is a decline in breastfeeding, due to the baby eating supplemental feedings or nursing less often, the contraceptive protection decreases, and other methods should be considered. Fertility is most effectively suppressed when the baby goes no longer than 4 hours during the day and 6 hours at night between feedings. The pattern of breastfeeding is a key factor, but the mother’s own body chemistry also has an influence. Some mothers nurse without supplements and still start having periods within the first few months of nursing."

This bone is called the ethmoid. There are then 2 nasal bones a little lower (you can feel how solid your nose is at the top - definitely bone! Not the tip, the top). The rest of the nose is mainly cartilage. There is, however, a bony part to the nasal septum (the part that separates the nostrils) too. Again, you can feel this.

Broken Nose Symptoms Broken Nose Causes Broken Nose Treatment What is there to know about a Broken nose? A nose that is broken is also known as a fracture of the nose, and is a crack or break of a bone in the nose – most frequently the bone which is above the bridge of the nose. The most common reasons of a nose that is broken can include sports which involve contact, fights, and falls as well as vehicle accidents which cause facial trauma. Symptoms and signs of a nose that is broken include swelling, pain, bruising around the nose and especially under the eyes. The nose can appear crooked and it can be hard to breathe. Management of a nose that is broken can include measures to realign the nose. Surgery normally is not necessary. Broken Nose Symptoms Symptoms as well as signs of a nose which is broken can develop immediately or can in some cases occur up to 3 days later. Symptoms and signs can include: Tenderness or pain, particularly when touching the nose Bleeding from the nose Nose as well as surrounding area has swelling Bruising around the eyes or nose Misshapen or crooked nose Problems breathing thru the nose Mucus discharge from the nose Sensation that either one or both of the passages of the nose are blocked An individual should seek medical consideration if they experience an injury of the nose accompanied by: Neck or head injury that may be accompanied by severe neck pain, headache, loss of consciousness or vomiting,Problems with breathing Bleeding that can not be stopped Visible altering in the contour of the nose that is not linked to swelling, for instance a twisted or crooked appearance Fluid which is clear draining from the nose Broken Nose Causes Since the nose is one of the more outstanding features of the face – it protrudes unprotected from the profile – it is also the feature of the face which is more at risk of being injured."

The anatomy of the nose can be used to refer to the structure of the nose while discussing facial features. Dr. Rizk stresses the importance for any surgeon to understand the nose structure before performing rhinoplasty. This is necessary so that the surgeon can develop the rhinoplasty surgery plans according to the structure of the nose. The nasal anatomy is very complicated. The support of your nose is made of nasal bones (which are not moveable and which you can feel between your eyelids) and of cartilage (which is moveable and makes up the support of the middle part and end of your nose (nasal tip). The space inside your nose is divided into two passages by your nasal septum. Your nasal cavities are lined with nasal mucous membrane, except for the areas just inside your nostrils, which are lined with skin and hair. The vertical structure between the two nostrils that attaches your nasal tip to your upper lip is called columella. The attachments of your nostrils on each side to your cheeks are called alae."

A multidisciplinary team approach is extremely important in caring for children with cleft lip or cleft palate, because these children have a broad range of treatment needs that no one type of specialist can effectively fulfill. The Craniofacial Anomalies Program at the University of Michigan is one of the most experienced cleft lip and cleft palate repair programs in the nation, and the largest program of its type in Michigan.

The outlook for these children in terms of appearance, function, and psychosocial well-being is greatly improved by this innovative approach. What is a cleft lip and cleft palate? Cleft lip and palate refers to an abnormal separation of the lip and/or the roof of the mouth (palate). Multiple portions of the upper lip come together during development to form one piece during the sixth week of pregnancy. The development of the palate occurs later than the lip, during the last part of the first trimester. Because the lip and palate develop at different times, it is possible for a child to be born with only a cleft lip, only a cleft palate, or with both a cleft of the lip and the palate."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Human Anatomy and Physiology Skeletal System What makes up cartilage? Flag What makes up cartilage? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Cartilage is a type of connective tissue in the body. It is made of cells called chondrocytes embedded in a matrix, strengthened with fibers of collagen and sometimes elastin, depending on the type. There are three different types: hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilage, and fibrocartilage. This tissue serves to provide structure and support to the body's other tissues without being as hard or rigid as bone. It can also provide a cushioning effect in joints. This type of tissue is avascular, meaning that it is not supplied by blood vessels; instead, nutrients diffuse through the matrix. Cartilage is usually flexible, again depending on the type."

Fracture reduction efficacy has not been demonstrated. Calcitonin Salmon (synthetic origin) Nasal Spray should be reserved for patients for whom alternative treatments are not suitable (e.g., patients for whom other therapies are contraindicated or for patients who are intolerant or unwilling to use other therapies). Important Limitations of Use Due to the possible association between malignancy and calcitonin salmon use, the need for continued therapy should be re-evaluated on a periodic basis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]. Calcitonin Salmon (synthetic origin) Nasal Spray has not been shown to increase spinal bone mineral density in early postmenopausal women. Slideshow Osteoporosis: A Battle For Your Bones Calcitonin-Salmon Nasal Spray Dosage and Administration Basic Dosing Information The recommended dose of calcitonin salmon nasal spray is 1 spray (200 USP Calcitonin Salmon Units) per day administered intranasally, alternating nostrils daily. Priming (Activation) of Pump Unopened calcitonin salmon nasal spray should be stored in the refrigerator. Before using the first dose of calcitonin salmon nasal spray, the patient should wait until it has reached room temperature. To prime the pump before it is used for the first time, the bottle should be held upright and the two white side arms of the pump depressed toward the bottle, repeat until a full spray is released. The pump is primed once the first full spray is emitted. To administer, the nozzle should first be carefully placed into the nostril while the patient’s head is in the upright position, then the pump should be firmly depressed toward the bottle."

I just wondered, because you can feel things that feel likes bones in your nose, but when you see pictures of skulls they have a hole where your nose usually is. Follow 11 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Actually the nose does have bones... The root of the nose - between the eyes - is the nasal parts of the frontal bone (forehead bone). This bone is called the ethmoid. There are then 2 nasal bones a little lower (you can feel how solid your nose is at the top - definitely bone! Not the tip, the top). The rest of the nose is mainly cartilage.

"text": "Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, nose surgery or nose reshaping, is one of the most common types of cosmetic plastic surgery performed each year. This, however, is hardly surprising, because the nose is something that is constantly on display, and if you don’t like your nose, you will become motivated to do something about it. For a lot of people, this motivation eventually leads them to visit a plastic surgeon for rhinoplastic surgery. Noses Suitable for Rhinoplasty Surgery Noses come in lots of different shapes and sizes, and you may be wondering whether a cosmetic surgeon will be able to change the appearance of your nose? Below are listed some of the main distinguishing features of different nose types and what nose surgeons can do to alter their appearance. Irregular Nasal Tip Your nasal tip sits right at the end of your nose, and in some people, one side of their nasal tip looks different from the other. For example, one side may be bigger, smaller, higher, lower or slightly twisted to one side. Since the shape of the tip of your nose is largely dependent upon the underlying cartilage, irregular looking tips usually occur as a result of your genetics or an injury. A cosmetic surgeon can operate on the cartilage under the nasal tip so that both sides appear symmetrical ( the same ). Crooked Nose Many people go throughout much of their life never realizing that they have a crooked nose."

Nepalese castes are directly derived from the Hindu castes found in India, but the Pakistani social structure is not widely recognized as castes, despite carrying similarities.

Food availability is probably the most common reason is just following or finding new sources of food. But the reasons for the lack of availability are numerous. Climate change, competition, disaster, disease, land fatigue and aggression. Humans evolved as foragers. Farming and animal husbandry are very recent developments, maybe no more than 10 thousand years at most. That's really a short period of time considering our current species has been around for maybe 100 thousand years.

The character Marlow describes how England was once �one of the dark places of the earth. � (Conrad 5) He continues by imagining how the Romans first came up the Thames and how these �were men enough to face the darkness,� cheered on by thought of �promotion,� but how many would succumb to the �mysterious life of the wilderness that stirs in the forest, in the jungle, in the hearts of wild men. � (Conrad 6) What he has done is provide us with a �map� of the terrain we are about to follow--from the delta of civilization to the headwaters of humankind. Conrad warns us of the �fascination of the abomination� and the �regrets, the longing to escape, the powerless disgust, the surrender, the hate� (Conrad 6) that would ensue when we encounter the truly wild other out there. The �map� to man�s interior that Conrad draws takes us to a shamanistic dawn where �herds of men� followed the visions of an �alpha male� until he dropped. We know this because shamanism arose at a time when humans emulated wolf packs and lion prides or lone hunters--the bear and the solitary cats. Mircea Eliade, in A History of Religious Ideas (Vol. 1), states the shaman �is able to penetrate even into the source of animal life, the bony element. � �The so-called X-ray drawings, ...showing the skeleton...of the animal, have also been referred to shamanism."

These infestations have been feared and revered throughout history. Unfortunately, they still wreak havoc today. Swarming Locusts are related to grasshoppers and the two insects look similar. However, locust behavior can be something else entirely. Locusts are sometimes solitary insects with lifestyles much like grasshoppers. But locusts have another behavioral phase called the gregarious phase. When environmental conditions produce many green plants and promote breeding, locusts can congregate into thick, mobile, ravenous swarms. Impact on Agriculture Locust swarms devastate crops and cause major agricultural damage and attendant human misery—famine and starvation."

Throughout the world there are 2,000 species that have been discovered. The praying mantis plays a huge part in keeping the bug population at a reasonable number, especially those that are harmful to farmer's crops. The name \"\"praying mantis\"\" is derived from the Greek language. Mantis means \"\"diviner\"\", or \"\"prophet.\"\" Praying was put in front of mantis due to the insect's prayer-like stance. Surprisingly enough, scientists have said that this insect is closely related to the cockroach. Morphology The body of the praying mantis includes three distinct body regions: the head, the thorax, and the abdomen. The legs and sometimes wings are attatched to the thorax, as well. They use their front legs ( raptorial legs) for grabbing and holding prey, and because of their strong spikes, they work well as graspers."

"text": "\"One of the aims of the Dutch Government, when it established the West India Company in 1621, was to obtain a share in the African slave trade which was largely controlled by the Portuguese. At that time Portugal was united with Spain, with whom the Dutch were at war. Therefore, the Dutch also attacked the Portuguese and seized many of their slave trading posts in West Africa. With the expansion of plantations in the Americas, and the increasing market for slaves, other European countries, including England and France, also established trading companies to supply slaves to their colonies. It is estimated that the English transported 1,900,000 slaves to their colonies in the Caribbean from 1651 to 1807 when they finally abolished the slave trade. The French, whose trade lasted between 1664 and 1830, shipped about 1,650,000 to their colonies. In roughly the same period, the Dutch took 900,000 to the Guianas and the West Indies. Of course, these figures do not include those who died on the sea voyage and those who were killed by slave hunters in the gathering process in Africa. The European slave trading companies and also independent slave traders carried out their slave collecting in western Africa in the areas of Senegal, Gambia, the Gold Coast, the Niger delta, and even as far south as the Congo River and Angola. The captains of slave ships traded directly with African chiefs or through \"\"factors\"\" who were European agents in charge of slave collecting centres."

Her father qualified as a doctor and worked for the Earl of Pembroke. Both men had a love of travelling and together they produced a book of their foreign journeys, South Sea Bubbles. Her mother was an invalid and Mary was expected to stay at home and look after her. Mary had little formal schooling but she did have access to her father's large library of travel books. When her father was at home Mary loved to hear his stories about life in other countries and willingly agreed to help him with his proposed book he was writing on the customs and laws of people in Africa. Although Kingsley did not consider taking his daughter with him on his travels, she was given the task of making notes on relevant material from his large collection of books on the subject. In 1891 Kingsley returned to England after one journey suffering from rheumatic fever. With both her parents invalids, Mary took complete control over the running of the household. Mary even subscribed to the journal, English Mechanic, so that she could carry out repairs on their dilapidated house."

The genus contains 31 recognized species [2] distributed worldwide, including the North American black widows ( L. mactans, L. hesperus, and L. variolus ), the button spiders of Africa, and the Australian redback spider. Species vary widely in size. In most cases, the females are dark-coloured and readily identifiable by reddish markings on the abdomen, which are often (but not always) hourglass -shaped. While rarely fatal, or even serious, the venomous bite of these spiders is seen as particularly dangerous because of the neurotoxin latrotoxin, which causes the condition latrodectism, both named after the genus. The female black widow has unusually large venom glands and its bite can be particularly harmful to humans. However, despite the genus' notoriety, Latrodectus bites are rarely fatal. Only female bites are dangerous to humans.

The females and young gorillas swung away into the trees. The angry male started towards the three humans, roaring ferociously. When the male was only twenty yards away, the woman asked one of the warriors why he did not fire. “I must wait,” he replied. “ The other man’s powder is wet!”And wait he did, until the gorilla was only inches away from the muzzle of his old-fashioned rifle. Then he fired, and the beast fell dead at their feet. The woman was Mary Kingsley, explorer, naturalist and champion of the African."

Since recent anthropological discussions encourage a degree of skepticism when dealing with accusations of cannibalism, this paper considers the charges as instances of \"\"labelling,\"\" whereby social relations are expressed using a symbolic stereotype, rather than relying on the traditional explanation of a misunderstanding of eucharistic \"\"body and blood\"\" imagery, or of a mistake in the identification of real cannibals. Examination of Greek and Roman sources reveals that there were many ancient \"\"cannibals,\"\" who for the purposes of anal- ysis can be conveniently classified as \"\"philosophical,\"\" \"\"exotic,\"\" \"\"mythical\"\" and \"\"political.\"\" The various attributes of these \"\"cannibals\"\" are also found in the charges against Christians, which represent a perceived threat to society as a whole, expresssed in terms of the human body as depicted in the fantastic sto- ries of ritual murder. CHRISTIAN CANNIBALS Many attempts to explain the accusations of cannibalism made against the early Christians have looked straight to the \"\"flesh and blood\"\" imagery applied by the Gospel accounts to Jesus' last supper and employed in reference to continuing eucharistic meals.2 Yet the obvious symbolic corre- 1.

The ladybird is an insect that belongs to the family of Coccinellidae which is the beetles’ family. The ladybird falls in the order of Coleoptra and is widely distributed all throughout Ireland, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Malta, India, Australia, UK, New Zealand, few parts of U. S. and Canada and South Africa. These insects are also known as lady bugs especially across North America. There are some entomologists that tend to call this species by the name of lady beetles or ladybird beetles for the fact that they cannot be regarded as true bugs. Even though occasionally, ladybirds are also called as lady cow or lady fly. Ladybirds are actually small insects and their sizes may range from 1 mm to 10 mm (0.04 – 0.4 inches). They may display orange, yellow or scarlet colors together with dark black spots making it easily distinguishable. These species have, like mosquitoes, antennae and black legs. The sizes of these black markings differ considerably from species to species."

She came from a family of writers, as she was also the niece of novelists Charles Kingsley and Henry Kingsley. The family moved to Highgate less than a year after her birth, the same home where her brother Charles George R. (\"\"Charley\"\") Kingsley was born in 1866, and by 1881 were living in Southwood House, Bexley in Kent. Her father was a doctor and worked for George Herbert, 13th Earl of Pembroke and other aristocrats and was regularly away from home on his excursions. During these voyages he collected information for his studies. Dr. Kingsley accompanied Lord Dunraven on a trip to North America in 1870-1875. During this trip, Dr. Kingsley was invited to accompany George Armstrong Custer 's U. S. Army expedition against the Sioux Indians. The reported massacre of Custer's force terrified the Kingsley family, but they were relieved to learn that bad weather had kept Dr. Kingsley from joining Custer. It is possible that her father's views on injustices faced by the Native Americans helped shape Mary's later opinions on British cultural imperialism in West Africa. ["

After a hoax in which a German restaurant appeared willing to serve spare body parts as gourmet meals, I tackle the burning question of the day: what does human flesh taste like? Martin Robbins@mjrobbins Wed 8 Sep 2010 04.32 EDT04.32 EDT25Recent reports suggested that a German restaurant was looking for diners willing to donate body parts that it said it would turn into gourmet meals - that annoying spare finger or testicle that you've been lugging around all these years, for example. Although exposed this week as a publicity stunt, many people (well, me) are curious to know what human would actually taste like. So in the spirit of public service, I tried to find out. One company supposedly started selling a \"\"Healthy Human Flesh Alternative\"\" based on Tofu - Hufu - back in 2005. They described the taste of their dubious product as follows:\"\"If you've never had human flesh before, think of the taste and texture of beef, except a little sweeter in taste and a little softer in texture. Contrary to popular belief, people do not taste like pork or chicken. \"\" Unfortunately it turned out to be a spoof, so \"\"sweet soft beef\"\" is a dubious claim at best, and it certainly flies in the face of the overwhelming \"\"pork\"\" consensus that appears from a Google search on the subject. If we want to get the true flavour of cannibalism, we need to find out from people who have actually tasted human flesh."

Hurrying to the chief's house, Ma found the natives blowing smoke into the dying lad's nostrils, shouting into his ears and rubbing ground pepper into his eyes.

No-Carb Food List Meat & Animal Protein All naturally-occurring meats contain no carbohydrates; however, pre-packaged and deli meats are often processed with a sugar and salt solution or seasoning blends, conferring carbohydrates to the meats. Processed and cured meats, such as sausage, ham, bacon, and frankfurters regularly contain small amounts of carbohydrates. Eggs also have a trace amount of carbs (about .6g per egg).

The main functions of the liver are to remove few toxins and process food nutrients. Blood from your digestive system generally filters through the liver before travelling anywhere else in the body. What is fatty liver disease ? Fatty liver disease is also called as steatosis that is the buildup of excess fat in the liver cells, and is a common liver complaint mostly in Western countries. It affects about one in every 10 people. It is normal for the liver to contain some fat, but if fat accounts for more than 10 percent of the liver’s weight, then you have fatty liver and you may develop more serious complications. Fatty liver is reversible if you make lifestyle and behavioral changes. In the early stages, this condition presents with no symptoms and does not result in permanent damage. However, when repeated damage occurs to your liver, permanent scarring can take the place of normal liver cells."

On this diet, you can have an unlimited amount of protein and fat but your carbohydrates must be controlled. Eggs are much less expensive than meat and can be used in unlimited quantities while on the egg diet. There are several variations of the egg diet ranging from just eating eggs and drinking water to using eggs as the main source of protein in the diet while eating other low carb foods. One variation that is really popular is the egg and grapefruit diet which despite having no affiliation is frequently referred to as the Mayo Clinic Diet. When you dramatically restrict your carbohydrates while increasing fat and protein your body produces ketones, going into a state called ketosis. Ketones are the indicator that your body is using fat instead of protein or sugar for energy. When your body converts fat to glucose, ketones are created as a by-product. The ketones are then eliminated from the body by the kidneys. While on the egg diet it is important to monitor your ketones to see how well you are burning fat, the best way to do this is an inexpensive product called keytone strips."

The first step in adopting a low-carb diet involves eliminating heavy starches such as pastas and breads, since most low-carb meals include protein with plenty of non-starchy vegetables and healthy fats. Poultry, game meats, beef, pork, fish and seafood are essentially carb-free and a good source of protein. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Chicken and Other Poultry Poultry refers to domestic fowl raised for their meat or eggs, including chicken, duck, turkey, goose, ostrich and pheasant. Each of these birds is naturally carb-free, yet some cooking methods add carbs. For example, 3 ounces of roasted chicken is carb-free, while the same size serving of fried chicken contains 8 grams of carbohydrates. This is because breading, batter or flour used to coat chicken before frying typically contains wheat or starch. Instead of frying, try roasting a couple of chicken breasts alongside a cup each of cherry tomatoes and cooked broccoli florets for a dinner with 10 grams of net carbs. \"\" Net\"\" carbs are the digestible carbohydrates -- total carbs minus the fiber grams. When purchasing poultry luncheon meats, avoid flavored varieties since these can contain added sweeteners or starches."

Most commercial dry dog foods contain between 30% and 70% carbohydrates; cat foods usually have a lower level than dog foods. If we examine the diets of the wild canines and felines that most closely resemble our domestic pets, we recognize that the wild relatives do eat some carbohydrates through the consumption of the intestinal contents of their prey.

There are several different types of vegetarians, such as vegans, who do not eat meat, eggs or dairy, and lacto-vegetarians, who avoid meat, fish, poultry and eggs, but eat dairy. The common thread in all types of vegetarian diets is the avoidance of meat such as chicken, beef and pork.

Digestion of Meats Digestion is the process of breaking down foods and getting nutrients from them. Meats are naturally free of carbohydrates, containing only protein and fat.

All of these foods are grouped together, because the majority of the calories they contain come from carbohydrates, these foods also contain some protein and sometimes fat. Cooked beans, peas, and lentils also belong in this group, but because they contain more protein they are also part of the meat and meat substitutes group. For this reason, eating one serving of beans, peas or lentils will count as one serving from the starch group and one serving from the meat group. This concept is explained in further detail in the section titled The Meat and Meat Substitutes Group. People with diabetes do not need to avoid foods found in the starch and starchy vegetables group. In fact, people with diabetes need to eat foods from this group to help meet their daily requirement for calories, macronutrients, fiber, vitamins, and minerals and for overall good health. Foods in this group, however, do contain carbohydrates that can raise blood glucose. It is important to space servings from this group (and the milk and fruit groups) evenly throughout the day, and only eat the number of serving that your doctor or dietitian has recommended.

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.

The Hellers’ state that the goal of the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet is permanent weight loss. Dieters should not aim for quick weight loss, but instead slow and steady weight loss.

"text": "\"Edit Midnight Run (1988)Trivia Showing all 48 items Jump to: Director Cameo (1) | Spoilers (1)Paramount Pictures originally owned the rights to the film, and they wanted a big name star to appear opposite Robert De Niro, in order to improve the film's chances at the box-office. It was suggested that the character of John \"\"Duke\"\" Mardukas be changed to a woman, and be played by Cher, who had had recent box-office success with The Witches of Eastwick (1987), Suspect (1987), and Moonstruck (1987). It was felt that casting Cher opposite De Niro would lend some \"\"sexual overtones\"\" to the relationship between the two characters. Director Martin Brest however, rejected the gender switch idea, so Paramount Pictures suggested giving the role to Robin Williams, who had recently had a big hit with Good Morning, Vietnam (1987). Williams read and liked the script, and agreed to audition. In the meantime, however, Brest had auditioned the less famous Charles Grodin, and had liked Grodin's interaction with De Niro. As such, Brest cast Grodin without auditioning Williams, and Paramount Pictures decided to drop out of the project, selling the rights to Universal, who went ahead with the De Niro and Grodin casting.86 of 86 found this interesting | Share this The idea to have Jack Walsh ( Robert De Niro) continually checking his watch, and the whole back-story related to his habit, was all De Niro's own idea.84 of 84 found this interesting | Share this Charles Grodin has permanent scars resulting from the real handcuffs he had to wear for a great deal of the film.88 of 89 found this interesting | Share this The boxcar scene where Jack Walsh ( Robert De Niro) and John Mardukas ( Charles Grodin) discuss whether or not they could ever be friends, was almost entirely improvised on-set. As regards Grodin's famous, \"\"You ever had sex with an animal, Jack?\"\" line, he was told by Director Martin Brest to come up with something that was guaranteed to make even Robert De Niro laugh.77 of 78 found this interesting | Share this John Ashton said that Robert De Niro got into the part so much, that during the fight scene on the train, De Niro actually hit him.46 of 46 found this interesting | Share this After doing The Untouchables (1987), Robert De Niro was looking for some lighter material to do next. Initially, he wanted to play the lead in Penny Marshall 's Big (1988), but the studio wasn't interested in having De Niro play the role."

L-R: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, Joey Bishop The Rat Pack is a term used by the media to refer to an informal group of entertainers centered on the Las Vegas casino scene. Having its origins in a group of friends that met at the Los Angeles home of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, by the 1960s, it was the name used by the press and the general public to refer to a later variation of the group that called itself \"\"the Summit\"\" or \"\"the Clan\"\", featuring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop among others; they appeared together on stage and in films in the early 1960s, including the movies Ocean's 11, [1] Sergeants 3, and Robin and the 7 Hoods (in the last film, Bing Crosby replaced Lawford). Sinatra, Martin, and Davis were regarded as the group's lead members.

[ 4] [5] Several explanations have been offered for the famous name over the years. According to one version, the group's original \"\"Den Mother\"\", Lauren Bacall, after seeing her husband, Humphrey Bogart, and his friends return from a night in Las Vegas, said words to the effect of \"\"You look like a goddamn rat pack.\"\" [ 4] \"\"Rat Pack\"\" may also be a shortened version of \"\" Holmby Hills Rat Pack\"\", a reference to the home of Bogart and Bacall [4] [5] which served as a regular hangout.

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is \"\"the oldest, largest, most prestigious, and most media-hyped gaming competition in the world\"\". [ 1] It is held annually since 1970 in Las Vegas. Since 1972, the Main Event of the WSOP has been the $10,000 buy-in no-limit Texas Hold 'Em tournament. The winner of the WSOP Main Event receives a World Series of Poker bracelet, millions of dollars (with the exact amount based on the number of entrants), and the right to be considered the year's World Champion of Poker. [ 2] Since 2008, the nine players who make it to the final table of the Main Event are called the November Nine, a reference to the fact that the final table competes in November, months after the Main Event's preliminary rounds are completed. Until 2005, the WSOP was held at Binion's Horseshoe. In 2005, the event moved to the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino. [ 3] The 2005 Main Event was not played completely at the Rio."

It’s a common resting spot for people on their way to New Vegas and for troops moving to and from the dam. There are not many intact buildings, as it was the site of intense fighting between NCR and Caesar’s Legion during the First Battle of Hoover Dam. The Rangers lured some of the toughest veteran Legionaries into the town and blew it to pieces with explosives that had been strategically placed ahead of time. [ 1]Although this won the battle, the city was almost entirely demolished as a result. After the battle, a monument to the NCR soldiers who fell during the battle was placed in the remains of the town."

The city population was 118 at the 2010 United States Census, [10] making Black Hawk the least populous city (rather than town) in Colorado. The tiny city is an historic mining settlement founded in 1859 during the Pike's Peak Gold Rush. Black Hawk is a part of the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, CO Metropolitan Statistical Area. Black Hawk is located adjacent to Central City, another historic mining settlement in Gregory Gulch. The two cities form the federally designated Central City/Black Hawk National Historic District. The area flourished during the mining boom of the late 19th century following the construction of mills and a railroad link to Golden. The town declined during the 20th century, but has been revived in recent years after the 1991 establishment of casino gambling following a statewide initiative in 1990."

They're doing all the planning for that week but as I've never spent any time in Arizona, I'm going to leave 5 days early and visit the Grand Canyon (via I-10, 95, 40, & 64) for 2 nights, then Sedona for 3 nights before getting to New Mexico. My question is what to see on the return trip?? And the best route to drive? And the best place to spend the night? It's about a 10 hr drive home direct from Albuquerque and as I'll already have been on the road for 2 weeks, I'm thinking just one night somewhere, max 2. I've already penciled in the Petrified Forest (perhaps drive the road thru the park and then 180 back to I-40?). Should I just return to Palm Springs the way I came, maybe stopping along Rte 66? Or over to Jerome / Prescott? ( If the latter, then back to I-17 and to I-10 via Phoenix or another road south to I-10?)."

"text": "\"Great Lakes Circle Tour > The Circle Tours > Lake Superior Circle Tour Lake Superior Circle Tour As the first \"\"official\"\" routing of the Great Lake Circle Tours, the approximately 1,300-mile long Lake Superior Circle Tour can trace its history back to a loosely-organized \"\"circle coute\"\" around the Big Lake in the 1960s. Promoted by local tourist organizations by way of brochures, pamphlets and other promotional materials, the earlier incarnations of a loop route around the largest freshwater lake in the world were not signposted and travellers had to rely on the tourist brochures to find their way. In 1985, Michigan First Lady Paula Blanchard, who was an advisor to the Michigan Department of Commerce at the time, pitched the idea to establish a tour route around Lake Superior at a tourism conference that fall. Soon after, the Michigan Department of Transportation drafted a design for the signs and, working with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (Wis DOT), Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) and the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO), helped devise a route around the largest of the Great Lakes. LSCT signs were posted during the summer of 1986. The Lake Superior Circle Tour is 1,287 miles (2,071 km) long. Even though the direct distance between Ironwood and Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan is less than the direct distance from Sault Ste. Marie to Pigeon River, Ontario, since the LSCT travels the length of the Keweenaw Peninsula as well as looping through the Tahquamenon Falls region, there is actually more route mileage in Michigan (40%) than in Ontario (37%). Minnesota and Wisconsin each share an almost equal amount of the remainder of the route, at 12% and 11%, respectively."

An unlit, filtered cigarette A cigarette is a narrow cylinder of finely cut tobacco leaves that are rolled into thin paper for smoking. The cigarette is ignited at one end, causing the cigarette to smolder and allowing smoke to be inhaled from the other end, which is held in or to the mouth; in some cases, a cigarette holder may be used, as well. Most modern manufactured cigarettes are filtered, although this does not make them any safer. Cigarette manufacturers have described cigarettes as a drug administration system for the delivery of nicotine in acceptable and attractive form. [ 1] [2] [3] [4] Cigarettes are addictive (because of nicotine) and cause cancer, heart problems, and other health problems. The term cigarette, as commonly used, refers to a tobacco cigarette but is sometimes used to refer to other substances, such as a cannabis cigarette."

They are produced in a wide variety of sizes and shapes. Since the 20th century, almost all cigars are made up of three distinct components: the filler, the binder leaf which holds the filler together, and a wrapper leaf. Often the cigar will have band printed with the cigar manufacturer's logo. Cigar tobacco is grown in significant quantities primarily in Central America and the islands of the Caribbean, including Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Panama, and Puerto Rico; it is also produced in the Eastern United States, the Mediterranean countries of Italy and Spain (in the Canary Islands ), and in Indonesia and the Philippines of Southeast Asia.

They comprise tobacco wrapped in a tendu or temburni leaf (plants native to Asia) and may be secured with a colorful string at one or both ends. Bidis can be flavored (e.g., chocolate, cherry, mango) or unflavored. 1,2Kreteks—sometimes referred to as clove cigarettes—are imported from Indonesia and typically contain a mixture of tobacco, cloves, and other additives. 3,4Bidis and kreteks have higher concentrations of nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide than conventional cigarettes sold in the United States. 1,3,5,6Neither bidis nor kreteks are safe alternatives to conventional cigarettes. 4,5Health Effects Bidis Because of the low prevalence of use, a limited amount of research on the long-term health effects of bidis has been conducted in the United States. 7 However, research studies from India indicate that bidi smoking is associated with cancer and other adverse health conditions. 2Bidis are a combustible tobacco product. Smoke from a bidi contains three to five times the amount of nicotine as a regular cigarette and places users at risk for nicotine addiction."

"text": "Newer posts →R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company R. J. Reynolds is still one of the largest tobacco companies around, but as early as the late 1800s the company was already a major player in the tobacco industry. The company was founded in 1875 when R. J. Reynolds himself moved to Winston-Salem, N. C. and opened a factory to produce chewing tobacco. Reynolds used new technologies like steam power and machinery to grow his business and buy up other competitors. In 1907 Reynolds introduced the Prince Albert brand of tobacco using the image of Prince Albert (Edward VII) of England. The Prince Albert brand was very popular and is still sold today for pipe smoking. Tins from the Prince Albert brand are exceptionally common and nearly any version of a Prince Albert tin will be worth around $5-10. These can be found commonly on e Bay at virtually any time. The one exception is the “Now King” tin which was made for only a year or two before the King died in 1910 and can be quite valuable and is very rare. The company heavily advertised the Prince Albert brand and it is probably the most common tin seen in the market. Following on the success of the Prince Albert brand, in 1913 Reynolds ventured into the pre-rolled and pre-packed cigarette market, which at the time was not thought to be widely profitable as most people rolled their own cigarettes."

( August 2012) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Cigarettes labeled as Lights, Milds, or Low-tar, are considered to have a lighter, less pronounced flavour than regular cigarettes. [ citation needed] These cigarette brands may also contain lower levels of tar, nicotine, or other chemicals inhaled by the smoker. [ 1] However, the scientific evidence is that switching from regular to light or low-tar cigarettes does not reduce the health risks of smoking or lower the smoker's exposure to the nicotine, tar, and carcinogens present in cigarette smoke. [ 2] [3] [4]The filter design, which may include perforated holes, is one of the main differences between light and regular cigarettes. In some light cigarettes, the filter is perforated with small holes that theoretically diffuse the tobacco smoke with clean air. In regular cigarettes, the filter does not include these perforations. In ultra-light cigarettes, the filter’s perforations are even larger, and in theory, they produce an even smaller smoke to air ratio.

"text": "A cigarette burn on the skin can be treated using some kind of cold application, natural herbs, or medications. Some burns may need a combination of treatment depending on the size of the burn. This type of injury can be very painful, and it can leave a scar in some cases. Treatment should be started immediately after the burn takes place. The skin that has the burn should be placed under cold running water or have ice put on it right away. The cold sensation will help to reduce the pain quickly, and the ice should stay on the burned skin for at least 15 minutes. If the pain continues, replacing the ice pack and keeping it on the burnt skin a little longer may help. After the pain is less severe, the burned area should be washed with water and antibacterial soap. Cleaning the area is important and will reduce the chance of infection. Warm water is best when washing skin, but it may be too painful."

This clear, sticky substance helps keep the air passages clean by catching particles and chemicals from the air you breathe. Ecological particles or infectious agents can cause the usually clear mucus to appear black or tinged with black streaks. Depending upon the cause, black mucus can be inconsequential or a sign of a serious medical problem. Causes of Black Mucus in Nose Dirt and Dust It has almost certainly took place to you at some point– you blow your nose and discover the fluid in your tissue looks black. The most typical reason for gray or black mucus is dirt and dust. When you are operating in the garden, cleaning up a dirty attic or doing some other dirty job, tiny dirt and dust particles are stirred into the air. As you breathe these particles in, they adhere to the respiratory mucus and are subsequently eliminated when you blow your nose or cough. Smoke Inhaling smoke can cause black mucus. Although cigarette smoking more typically turns the mucus brown, it can also be tinged black."

Most state laws dealt with the sale of tobacco products, including the issue of selling to minors and licensing of distributors. By 1950, most states had laws prohibiting the sale of tobacco products to minors, which at the time, the purchase age differed in each state. In 1992 the federal government required states to set a minimum age of at least 18 years to purchase tobacco products, which was amended in all states by 1993. [ 2]In 1964, Surgeon General Luther Terry issued a report on smoking and health saying that tobacco causes lung cancer and is a main contributor to bronchitis. Members of the Federal Trade Commission read the report the day it was released and quickly proposed a mandatory cigarette label that warned, \"\"CAUTION: cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health and may cause death from cancer and other diseases.\"\" However, legislation ultimately passed by Congress required a warning label with less dire language:\"\"CAUTION: CIGARETTE SMOKING MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH.\"\" [ 3] [4] In 1965, the United States Congress passed the Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act (FCLAA), which required a health warning on all cigarette packs."

They are produced in a wide variety of sizes and shapes. Since the 20th century, almost all cigars are made up of three distinct components: the filler, the binder leaf which holds the filler together, and a wrapper leaf. Often the cigar will have band printed with the cigar manufacturer's logo. Cigar tobacco is grown in significant quantities primarily in Central America and the islands of the Caribbean, including Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Panama, and Puerto Rico; it is also produced in the Eastern United States, the Mediterranean countries of Italy and Spain (in the Canary Islands ), and in Indonesia and the Philippines of Southeast Asia.

"text": "May 2012Free Speech vs. Compelled Speech By Thomas A. Briant, NATO Executive Director The U. S. Food and Drug Administration’s proposed nine graphic image and text statement cigarette health warning labels have resulted in the tobacco industry drawing a figurative, yet extremely important, line in the sand to protect First Amendment free-speech rights. The line drawn by the industry in the form of two lawsuits fi led against the FDA to overturn the graphic cigarette labels is a pivotal break point because the images are so controversial. On March 19, 2012, the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit issued an opinion upholding the mandate for color graphic and text warning labels on cigarette packaging; the ban on using cigarette and smokeless-tobacco brand names for sponsorships; the prohibition of printing such brand names on merchandise; the ban on free gifts with a purchase of these tobacco products; and the prohibition of sampling except for smokeless products in an adult-only facility. However, on the issue of the mandate for color graphic and text warning labels on cigarette packaging, the three circuit court judges split, with two in favor of the mandate and one dissenting on the mandate. In contrast, the second federal lawsuit has resulted in two district court rulings in favor of the tobacco industry, including a temporary injunction against the enforcement of the FDA’s new graphic image warnings and a decision on the merits of the case that the mandated graphic image warning labels are unconstitutional compelled speech. One of the fundamental tenets of constitutional law as decided by the U. S. Supreme Court is that the First Amendment to the Constitution protects not only the right to speak freely, but also the right to not speak at all. Numerous court decisions have extended the free-speech rights to include advertising, because companies “speak” to their customers through advertisements. When the government mandates that an individual or a company make a statement that a person or corporation would otherwise not make if given a choice, then the law requiring the statement alters the content of speech. This is known as “compelled speech,” and the Supreme Court has ruled that this form of speech is presumptively unconstitutional. This does not mean that the government is prohibited from compelling companies to make certain kinds of statements in their advertisements or about their products."

Some of the other, less common problems that may occur if this condition is left untreated include scarlet fever, meningitis, and brain abscess. Complications of Strep Throat: An Overview Strep throat is a mild illness caused by an infection with group A streptococcus bacteria. Research has shown that even if left untreated, the body will cure this infection on its own most of the time. However, for anyone diagnosed with strep throat, treatment with an antibiotic is recommended. One of the reasons is that untreated strep throat increases the chances of complications. Some of these possible complications of strep throat can be potentially dangerous. Treatment with antibiotics almost always eliminates the chance of these complications.

Guess what—ear infections are not alone. Strep throat is another common pediatric infection that is over-diagnosed and over-treated. In adult patients, it’s easy to make a case for not treating it at all. And although kids aren’t just little adults, and the evidence is a little less clear-cut, pediatricians may need to back off, too. I know you already don’t believe me (nor do some of my patients…or my mother), but let me make my case: Group A Streptococcal pharyngitis (which will henceforth be referred to as “strep throat”) is a sore throat caused by a type of bacteria called Streptococcus pyogenes. The same organism causes other infections as well, but I’ll focus on the throat. Common symptoms seen with strep throat include sore throat, fever, headache, and nausea. This disease is more common in school-age children and teenagers than it is in adults, but rarely seen in kids under 3. It’s one of the most commonly treated conditions in a pediatric office."

A sore throat, also called a throat infection or pharyngitis, is a painful inflammation of the back part of the throat (pharynx). Pharyngitis can involve some or all of these parts of the throat:the back third of the tonguethe soft palate (roof of the mouth)the tonsils (fleshy tissue that are part of the throat's immune defenses). The most common cause of sore throat is infection with bacteria or a virus. Because an infection of the pharynx almost always involves the tonsils, tonsillitis (inflammation of the tonsils) was once a common name for infectious pharyngitis. About 90 percent of throat infections are caused by a virus. Although people who have the flu (influenza), cold sores (oral herpes simplex) or infectious mononucleosis (\"\"mono\"\") also commonly have a sore throat, these viral infections usually cause other telltale symptoms in addition to throat pain. In regions that have warm summers and cool winters, viral pharyngitis typically peaks during the winter and early spring. This is a time when people are more likely to gather in poorly ventilated rooms. The viruses that cause pharyngitis spread easily."

Strep throat and scarlet fever are caused by an infection with streptococcus bacteria. Rheumatic fever is most common in 5- to 15-year-old children, though it can develop in younger children and adults. Although strep throat is common, rheumatic fever is rare in the United States and other developed countries. However, rheumatic fever remains common in many developing nations. Rheumatic fever can cause permanent damage to the heart, including damaged heart valves and heart failure. Treatments can reduce damage from inflammation, lessen pain and other symptoms, and prevent the recurrence of rheumatic fever. Symptoms Rheumatic fever symptoms vary. You can have few symptoms or several, and symptoms can change during the course of the disease. The onset of rheumatic fever usually occurs about two to four weeks after a strep throat infection."

Strep throat is treated with prescription antibiotics, such as penicillin, amoxicillin, and erythromycin, among others. Many with the infection also turn to over-the-counter options, like ibuprofen, or home remedies to reduce pain and ease other uncomfortable symptoms. Getting a doctor to confirm that what you're experiencing is indeed strep is important, as that diagnosis will help ensure you get the treatment needed to address the infection and thwart complications that can arise when it persists. Prescriptions Prescription antibiotics are the treatment of choice for strep throat for several reasons: Proper treatment reduces the duration of symptoms. Treatment prevents the rare, but serious complications of untreated streptococci infections , such as rheumatic fever (immune system-triggered damage to heart valves) or glomerulonephritis (damaged kidneys). Treatment reduces the spread of infection. If you do not have an allergy to penicillin, you will likely be prescribed: Penicillin VAmoxicillin However, if you do have a penicillin allergy , there are safe alternatives to the above: Cephalexin Cefadroxil Clindamycin Azithromycin Erythromycin Clarithromycin Note: Any antibiotic that ends in -cillin is part of the penicillin family and will not be used.

This bacteria can cause infections in other parts of the body as well, but is most commonly seen as a cause of throat infection in school-age children. Symptoms The most common symptoms of strep throat include: Sore or painful throat Fever Feeling tired White patches in the back of the throat Headache Nausea or stomachache Red rash on torso, known as a scarlet fever rash Strep throat is most common in children between the ages of 5 and 15. Children younger than 5 can get it, as can adults, but it occurs less frequently in these age groups. Strep throat is very rare in children under 3. The group A strep bacteria will usually affect a different part of the body in these children. Diagnosis Strep throat is diagnosed by a throat swab taken at your doctor's office. This is called a rapid strep test and can usually give you results in about 5 to 10 minutes. If the rapid strep test is negative, your child's doctor may send an actual throat culture off to see if it grows the strep A bacteria. This usually provides results in 24-48 hours and is considered the gold standard in diagnosis."

A peritonsillar abscess is a bacterial infection that usually begins as a complication of untreated strep throat or tonsillitis. It generally involves a pus-filled pocket that forms near one of your tonsils. Peritonsillar abscesses are most common in children, adolescents, and young adults. They often occur at the beginning or end of the winter season, when illnesses like strep throat and tonsillitis are most widespread. Causes Causes of a peritonsillar abscess Peritonsillar abscesses usually occur as a complication of tonsillitis. If the infection breaks out of a tonsil and spreads to the surrounding area, an abscess can form. Peritonsillar abscesses are becoming less common due to the use of antibiotics in the treatment of strep throat and tonsillitis. Mononucleosis (commonly referred to as mono) can also cause peritonsillar abscesses, as well as tooth and gum infections. In much rarer cases, it’s possible for peritonsillar abscesses to occur without an infection."

Group A streptococcus causes more than 10 million noninvasive infections each year. It's also responsible for life-threatening invasive infections that you need to catch fast. Jump to: There are many reasons not to minimize the significance of Streptococcus pyogenes, better known as group A streptococcus (GAS). GAS is not only a common source of pharyngitis and skin infections that are relatively easy to treat, it can also lead to complications like rheumatic fever and streptococcal glomerulonephritis. 1 GAS can also cause invasive life-threatening infections, such as necrotizing fasciitis (NF) and streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS). In 2001, there were approximately 11,000 cases of invasive GAS infections in the United States. 2 Of those infections, 6% were due to STSS and 7% were from GAS-related NF."

Fever, chills, headaches, and decreased appetite can also occur. All of these, however, are also typical of most viral infections. Because of this, signs and symptoms alone cannot be used to diagnose strep throat, though a doctor will certainly look for them to help determine if strep testing is necessary. Frequent Symptoms Strep throat typically has a two- to five-day incubation period. This is the time between exposure to the bacteria and development of strep throat symptoms. You are considered contagious in this timeframe. The most common signs and symptoms of strep throat include: Sore throat, especially when swallowing Fever and chills Headaches Fatigue and lack of energy Decreased appetite Enlarged lymph nodes, which may feel like lumps on the sides of your neck or in your armpits Small red or purple spots on the roof of your mouth Swelling in the back of your throat Redness around the back of your throat White patches in the back of your throat Once you begin to experience any symptoms or notice signs, you should start taking precautions not to infect those around you. You can spread the infection to other people through sneezing, coughing, and touching objects (if your hands have been in contact with your saliva and mucus). Covering your mouth when coughing or sneezing, avoiding sharing beverages, and regular hand washing can help."

"text": "What You Need to Know About Zelle, the New Player in Peer-to-Peer Payments Comments (81) Post a Comment POSTED ON SUNDAY, JUNE 18, 2017 BY Sheryl Nance-Nash There’s a new kid on the digital payment block. Zelle, a person-to-person payments network from bank-owned Early Warning Services, could give Venmo, a subsidiary of Pay Pal, and Apple Pay a run for their money. This marks the start of Zelle’s year-long rollout to more than 86 million U. S. mobile banking customers at 30 financial institutions, small and big, including Bank of America, Wells Fargo and others. What’s the appeal? There’s no additional app to download. It’s fast. Money can be sent from one bank account to another in minutes, with merely the recipient’s email address or cell phone number. It’s being touted as safe, easier than hitting up the ATM to get cash, and makes you wonder once again why you need checks that seem to be edging toward extinction. If you think this is a passing fad, the numbers tell a different story. A recent Javelin Strategy & Research report, Making Payments Faster: The $20 Trillion Opportunity, by Michael Moeser, showed significant growth in digital P2P payment use, from 62 million customers in 2013 to 84 million 2016."

By Lindsay Tigar Facebook Pinterest Twitter Email1of 19Tinseltown/Shutterstock Katey Sagal While Katey Sagal was starring as Peggy Bundy on the hit TV show “Married…with Children” back in the 90s, the actress really was married with children. She even had a little nursery next to her dressing room for the two little ones she was raising with then-husband Jack White. After she and White split in 2000, Sagal tied the knot with “Sons of Anarchy” creator Kurt Sutter. “ He’d never had his own biological children, so about five years into the relationship we started toying with the idea of maybe we should raise a child together,” she recently told People. But since Sagal was too old to carry a child at that point, the couple decided to go the surrogacy route. “ We went through the whole in vitro fertilization process and our embryos were not really strong, but we thought, ‘Let’s give it a shot and if it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be,’” she explained. “ And if it wasn’t, we weren’t going to do it. But then our little Esme came through,” Sagal says of welcoming her third daughter in 2007, at age 52, with the help of a surrogate. “"

"text": "\"Rockefeller Center Properties, Inc.©Bracken White, MPPM, 1996Rockefeller Center is one of the grandest office complexes in the world. At the center of Manhattan, fronting Fifth Avenue a few blocks from Central Park, it consists of twelve Art Deco buildings built during the Depression by John D. Rockefeller Jr. From its inception, the Center has been a landmark property in a city of remarkable buildings. As a great commercial success and a significant part of New York's civic life, Rockefeller Center enhanced the wealth and status of the family which built and operated it for over fifty years. In 1985, the Rockefellers' sold Rockefeller Center to two partnerships owned by Rockefeller Group, Inc. (RGI). Though the transaction was complicated, it essentially allowed the Rockefeller family trusts to liquidify their holdings in the Center while deferring tax liabilities. RGI was owned by Mitsubishi Estate Company and various Rockefeller family trusts. Mitsubishi increased its stake to 51% in 1989 and later to 80%, its current level of participation. This stepped up investment reflected a cumulative investment of $1.4 billion. RGI's purchase of the Center was funded in large part by a 1.3 billion-dollar mortgage held by a newly formed real estate investment trust, Rockefeller Center Properties, Inc. (RCPI). The mortgage had a maturity date of December 2007 but could be converted at RCPI's option to a 71.5% limited partnership interest in December 2000."

An Arctic Circle cruise not only brings the Northern Lights within reach, but also offers a holiday that’s enjoyable in so many other ways, not least through participation in some truly out-of-the-ordinary excursions and activities. Here is my pick of the 10 best Northern Lights cruise itineraries for 2017-2019.1. Norway, Greenland and Iceland How often does the chance arise to see three far-flung countries in one trip? Norway (Spitsbergen), eastern Greenland and Iceland all feature on an Aurora Borealis voyage offered by the Small Cruise Ship Collection ( small-cruise-ships.com ). Expect to see autumn colours on guided shore hikes, plus, if you’re lucky, some of the world’s best light displays. The 14-night Spitsbergen, North-east Greenland, Aurora Borealis cruise costs from £4,635 per person excluding flights, departing Sept 5 2018. Best excursion: Visit an Inuit settlement and meet the people of Ittoqqortoormiit.2. France, Belgium, The Netherlands and Norway This 20-night trip ticks plenty of sightseeing boxes as it travels to Norway via France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Departure is in 2018, from Bristol, and the itinerary takes in medieval Rouen, Rotterdam (pictured) and the Belgian city of Antwerp, before travelling north along Norway’s stunning coastline in search of the Aurora Borealis."

"text": "Top 8 Places to See the Northern Lights January 25, 2016 by Zoe Smith Action, Adventure & Adrenaline, List Mania: Viator's Top Picks, Things to Do, Travel Advice & Inspiration Tweet Pin It One of the world’s most dazzling natural phenomenons, few vistas can top the Northern Lights, officially known as the Aurora Borealis (signifying the meeting of Aurora, Roman goddess of the dawn, and Borealis, the Greek god of the North Wind). Created by solar winds interacting with charged particles in the earth’s magnetic field, the lights appear as otherworldly streaks of green, red, yellow and purple dancing across the arctic skies. Visible throughout the so-called Northern Lights Oval, countries lying in the far-northern latitudes, optimally between 10 and 20 degrees from the magnetic North Pole, are most likely to catch the spectacle, which occurs predominantly between late September and late March, often close to midnight. While travelers flock to the world’s northernmost countries for a glimpse of the Northern Lights, seeing them is no exact science and there’s no guarantee. From the snow-enveloped wilderness of Siberia to the northernmost tip of Canada, here are some of the best places to see the Northern Lights. So wrap up warm, pick a clear night and cross your fingers.1. Iceland Northern Lights in Iceland With its stark beauty, starry skylines and magnificent frosted landscapes, Iceland’s unique backdrop makes it a favorite place for photographers to capture the Northern Lights. Auroral activity is greatest during the mid-winter months, and the lights are visible from locations all over the country (on clear nights, you might even catch a few glimmers in Reykjavik). Two of the most popular watching areas are the Golden Circle — encompassing Thingvellir National Park and the Haukadalur geothermic valley — and the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, home to the famous Snaefellsjokull glacier, both easy trips from Reykjavik. For some of the clearest views away from the crowds, head to the northern coast on the brink of the Arctic Circle — the volcanic Reykjanes Peninsula and northern city of Akureyri are both great choices."

"title": "https://www.cruisecritic.com/articles.cfm?ID=133\nBest Time to Cruise",
"text": "\"By Laura Randall Cruise Critic Contributor Save Share It's one of the most common cruising questions: When is the best time to cruise Alaska, Australia, the Caribbean, Canada/New England, Hawaii, Europe or the South Pacific? The answer depends on many variables. Fall foliage enthusiasts, for instance, will find September and October the best time to take that Canada/New England cruise, whereas water sports-lovers (and families) much prefer to sail the region in the summer when school is out and temperatures are warmer for swimming. The best time to cruise to Alaska will vary depending on your preferences for viewing wildlife, fishing, bargain-shopping, sunshine, warm weather and catching the northern lights. For most cruise regions, there are periods of peak demand (high season), moderate demand (shoulder season) and low demand (low season), which is usually the cheapest time to cruise. High season is typically a mix of when the weather is best and popular travel periods (such as summer and school holidays). However, the best time to cruise weather-wise is usually not the cheapest time to cruise. The cheapest time to cruise is when most travelers don't want to go because of chillier temperatures or inopportune timing (too close to holidays, the start of school, etc.). But the lure of cheap fares and uncrowded ports might make you change your mind about what you consider the best time to cruise. As you plan your next cruise, you'll want to take into consideration the best and cheapest times to cruise and see what jibes with your vacation schedule."

May 3, 2015, 10:47 AMAdding this post to the FAQ due to the frequency of posters who have the impression that either:1. The Geirangerfjord is the crown in the jewel among the iconic fjords.or2. It is necessary to see all the iconic fjord areas during one visit and with very limited time. The Geirangerfjord is equally beautiful as the other iconic fjords; Sognefjord and Hardangerfjord. The Geirangerfjord area is the smallest of the three and it is the fjord furthest away from Bergen and Oslo. If your stay in Norway is short, 5-6 days or less, visit the Sognefjord and/or Hardangerfjord instead. There is one good option, which let you experience the Geirangerfjord and Sognefjord with public transport. It is called the 'Geirangerfjord & Norway in a Nutshell' and you need minimum 4 days to complete it. Details here: norwaynutshell.com/en/…Feel free to add your comments below."

And while scientists predicted that December 2013 would be the peak of the current solar cycle, and thus the best time to see the northern lights, recent celestial activity suggests that this winter will offer plenty of viewing opportunities as well, with earlier-than-expected sightings in August as far south as the United Kingdom. The viewing season typically lasts until March, and ideal viewing conditions are crisp, cold, clear, and cloudless skies in locations with little light. If you want to catch nature’s most impressive light show, head to one of these ten destinations near the Arctic. And if you want to capture the astonishing sights, check out our top tips for photographing the northern lights. By Lola Akinmade Akerstrom Lola Akinmade Akerstrom / imagebank.sweden.se/Sweden Best Viewing Locations: Kiruna, Abisko, Swedish Lapland The area around Abisko in Swedish Lapland is scientifically proven to be an ideal viewing spot due to a unique microclimate. Close to Abisko National Park, the dark winter night is perfect for watching the night sky. The 43-mile-long Torneträsk Lake helps create the infamous “blue hole of Abisko,” a patch of sky that remains clear regardless of the surrounding weather patterns. PLAN YOUR TRIP: Visit Fodor’s Sweden Travel Guide Courtesy of Visit Finland / Jorma Luhta Finland Best Viewing Locations: Luosto, Nellim, Utsjoki, Ivalo, Kakslauttanen Head to Luosto in Northern Finland to the Hotel Aurora where, upon arrival, you’ll be handed an “Aurora Alarm” that beeps whenever the northern lights appear.

"text": "\"By Erica Silverstein Cruise Critic Senior Editor Save Share Updated September 21, 2017Many Alaska cruises tend to explore the same southeastern ports of Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway and Sitka. Yet to immerse yourself in the land of sled dog and Arctic tundra (and a chance to see the northern lights), requires a trip to Alaska's northwest interior. Cruise lines have the answer: the cruise tour. The cruise tour is a land tour of interior destinations before or after a cruise. In conjunction with seven-night Alaska cruises, three- to eight-night land programs extend each trip with visits to interior destinations, such as Anchorage, Denali National Park, Talkeetna, Fairbanks and the Kenai Peninsula. Cruise lines with the most established cruise tour programs in Alaska include Holland America, Princess, Celebrity and Royal Caribbean, each with its own hallmarks. It's hardly a cruise on wheels. The go-go-go pace might have you putting luggage outside your doors at 6 a.m., leaving the hotel an hour later and not arriving at the next destination until the evening. But, that's not all you need to know about Alaskan cruise tours -- here are six other aspects of the best Alaska cruise tours...and the worst.1.

But after partying in the world's great urban centres, the quiet charms of Iceland's nightlife quickly become apparent.

Its 14-night Scandinavia and Russia cruise in June is a round-trip from Southampton and there are additional diversions in Oslo and Bruges (port of Zeebrugge).

This may have disappointed a few P&O regulars, but it indicates the line's policy to combine a traditional British atmosphere with an up-to-date cruise experience. About Aurora219Reviews18Cabin Types New features added in the refurbishment include the Sindhu fine dining restaurant, with an Indian-fusion menu overseen by Michelin-star chef Atul Kochhar, and the Glass House restaurant and bar, with wines selected by TV presenter Olly Smith, which has replaced Cafe Bordeaux. Both these restaurants are on P&O Cruises' twin giants Azura and Ventura. The buffet restaurant and Sidewalk Cafe were also completely refurbished and include a new Costa Coffee and Grab and Go countermand flexible \"\"Freedom Dining\"\" in the Medina Restaurant, plus more tables for two; and Marco Pierre White dishes on gala evenings. The recent refit has transformed the public rooms and they are now bright and attractive, with exceptionally comfortable seating. But some of the rooms and corridors are distinctly chilly, and there is evidence of minor wear and tear in places, despite the refurbishment which is inevitable with a ship that is now more than 15-years-old. Fellow Passengers Aurora is a family-friendly ship and has extensive kids' facilities, so expect a large proportion of children during holiday times. However, outside of school holidays the ship reverts to its traditional demographic of 50-something and older Brits. Aurora Dress Code There are normally two formal nights per seven-night cruise."

Smaller areas occur in Australasia and southern South America. [ 3] Examples of typical trees in the Northern Hemisphere's deciduous forests include oak, maple, beech and elm, while in the Southern Hemisphere, trees of the genus Nothofagus dominate this type of forest. The diversity of tree species is higher in regions where the winter is milder, and also in mountainous regions that provide an array of soil types and microclimates.

Though disappearing around the world they are also found in South America, Scandinavia, New Zealand, Ireland, and Scotland. Habitat Description When you think of a rainforest, do you picture monkeys, parrots, and huge, coiled snakes? Not all rainforests are tropical. The temperate rainforests on the west coast of North America are very different from the tropical rainforests of South America. Temperate rainforests have a long growing season, though unlike tropical rainforest they do have a change of seasons. Temperatures change from 80°F in summer down to near freezing in winter. The cooler temperatures mean that temperate rainforests have less diversity than tropical rain forests. ( This means that there are fewer types of animals and plants found there.) This doesn’t mean though that things don’t grow there."

They are the fifth largest order of mammals, consisting of 10 families, 80 genera, and approximately 210 species. Although the majority of artiodactyls live in relatively open habitats, they can be found in all habitat types, including some aquatic systems, and are native to every continent, excluding Australia and Antarctica. As would be expected in such a diverse group, artiodactyls exhibit exceptional variation in body size and structure. Body mass ranges from 4000 kg in hippos to 2 kg in lesser Malay mouse deer. Height ranges from 5 m in giraffes to 23 cm in lesser Malay mouse deer. ( Grzimek, 1990; Grzimek, 2003; Nowak, 1999)Artiodactyls are paraxonic, that is, the plane of symmetry of each foot passes between the third and fourth digits. In all species, the number of digits is reduced by the loss of the first digit (i.e., pollex), and many species have second and fifth digits that are reduced in size. The third and fourth digits, however, remain large and bear weight in all artiodactyls. This pattern has earned them their name, Artiodactyla, which means \"\"even-toed\"\"."

These important mammals are herbivorous and live in herds. There are noticeable differences between these two, especially in geographical distribution, diversity, and physical characteristics. It would be important to have a particular look at their characteristics separately and then to understand the differences, as in this article. Deer Deer are a group of many species with several genera including Muntiacus, Elaphodus, Dama, Axis, Rucervus, Cervus, and few more. They naturally range in all the continents except Australia and Antarctica. Their bodyweights vary in a broad spectrum, which is from 10 to 250 kilograms. They feed on a herbivorous diet, and they are usually browsers. Moreover, deer can select their feed in such a way that it will be more nutritious. Deer are ruminants, i.e. they have a four-chambered stomach to let the food go through a thorough process of digestion and absorption of nutrients."

Along with the space agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) keeps a constant watch on the hole above the Antarctic, which reached its annual peak on 11 September. The size of this year’s hole at its largest point was 9.3 million square miles (24.1 million square kilometres) – almost identical to the maximum in 2013. It is far smaller than the largest single-day ozone hole ever recorded by a satellite, which was 11.5 million square miles (29.9 million square kilometres) in September 2000. The phenomenon was worst between 1998 and 2006 and ozone levels in the hole area seem to be gradually recovering. The hole forms and expands over the Antarctic during the Southern Hemisphere spring between August and September. This image shows ozone concentrations above Antarctica on 11 September 2014. The depletion of the ozone layer became a cause of international concern because it is needed to shield life on Earth from potentially harmful ultraviolet radiation that can cause skin cancer and damage plants. The Montreal Protocol of in 1987 aimed to protect the ozone layer by reducing production of substances responsible for depleting it, such as chlorine and bromine, found in chlorofluorocarbons and halons. In 2014, the level of these substances had declined by about nine per cent from the record maximum in 2000."

Located at latitudes 55° to 70° North, the tundra is a vast and treeless land which covers about 20% of the Earth's surface, circumnavigating the North pole. It is usually very cold, and the land is pretty stark. Almost all tundras are located in the Northern Hemisphere. Small tundra-like areas do exist in Antarctica in the Southern Hemisphere, but because it is much colder than the Arctic, the ground is always covered with snow and ice. Conditions are not right for a true tundra to form. Average annual temperatures are -70°F (-56°C). Tundra comes from the Finnish word \"\"tunturia\"\", which means a barren land. The ground is permanently frozen 10 inches to 3 feet (25 to 100 cm) down so that trees can't grow there."

Credit: Mauricio Anton The Pleistocene Epoch is typically defined as the time period that began about 2.6 million years ago and lasted until about 11,700 years ago. The most recent Ice Age occurred then, as glaciers covered huge parts of the planet Earth. There have been at least five documented major ice ages during the 4.6 billion years since the Earth was formed — and most likely many more before humans came on the scene about 2.3 million years ago. The Pleistocene Epoch is the first in which Homo sapiens evolved, and by the end of the epoch humans could be found in nearly every part of the planet. The Pleistocene Epoch was the first epoch in the Quaternary Period and the sixth in the Cenozoic Era. It was followed by the current stage, called the Holocene Epoch. A period of 'global cooling’ of just .6°C during the years 1500 to 1850 caused droughts that led to wars in Europe. Climate historian Dagomar Degroot studies that period, explains how climate change led to a call to arms. Worldwide ice sheets At the time of the Pleistocene, the continents had moved to their current positions."

As with the preceding Paleocene epoch, the Eocene was characterized by the continuing adaptation and spread of prehistoric mammals, which filled the ecological niches left open by the dinosaurs' demise. The Eocene constitutes the middle part of the Paleogene period (65-23 million years ago), preceded by the Paleocene and succeeded by the Oligocene epoch (34-23 million years ago); all of these periods and epochs were part of the Cenozoic Era (65 million years ago to the present). Climate and geography. In terms of climate, the Eocene epoch picked up where the Paleocene left off, with a continuing rise in global temperatures to near-Mesozoic levels. However, the later part of the Eocene saw a pronounced global cooling trend, probably related to decreasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which culminated in the re-formation of ice caps at both the north and south poles. The earth's continents continued to drift toward their present positions, having broken apart from the northern supercontinent Laurasia and the southern supercontinent Gondwana, though Australia and Antarctica were still connected. The Eocene epoch also witnessed the rise of North America's western mountain ranges. Terrestrial Life During the Eocene Epoch Mammals. Perissodactyls (odd-toed ungulates, such as horses and tapirs) and artiodactyls (even-toed ungulates, such as deer and pigs) can all trace their ancestry back to the primitive mammalian genera of the Eocene epoch."

"text": "\"Ancient Europe Was Full of Lions, Elephants, Rhinoceros and Hippopotamuses GOPlans to re-introduce extinct megafauna Jun 1, 2007 14:06 GMT · By Stefan Anitei · Share: During the Ice Age, huge beasts forming the megafauna, like mammoths, saber-toothed cats and woolly rhinos roamed the continents of our planet. But the Ice Age ended some 10,000 years ago and most of the megafauna disappeared, a fact which is connected to the spread of modern humans. This fauna loss left the Holocene, the current era (which started 10,000 years ago) with a very poor megafauna. Species like the American mastodon, dire wolf, giant deer and ground sloth are long vanished, but some species, or related subspecies, still persist, and a Pleistocene-like megafauna and their ecosystems can be re-created. A few years ago, scientists made a \"\"re-wilding\"\" plan aimed at restoring North America's lost Pleistocene ecosystems, while providing a sanctuary for megafauna barely surviving in conflict-ridden, unstable or densely populated areas. But there are other candidates for the re-wilding, like in Siberia, where Pleistocene-like grasslands are preserved and extended, but also Europe, which is a more proper candidate for re-wilding than North America. Most American lost species do not have any close living relatives. Even if in some cases, Europe's megafauna also has irreversible extinctions, like the scimitar cat, cave bear, woolly mammoth, woolly rhinoceros, steppe rhinoceros and giant deer, the other species still have close wild or domestic relatives elsewhere in the world. Moreover, Europe's megafauna disappeared more recently than in North America, many species persisting well into the Holocene. Some megafauna has been successfully reintroduced: see the case of the European bison, extinct in the wild in the early 20th century, which is now present among scattered populations across eastern Europe."

The most popular types of deer include elk, White Tail Deer, moose, and caribou. To help simplify things there are five main categories of species of deer that have been identified. They include the White Tailed Deer, Caribou, Elk, Moose, and Mule Deer. Those are the ones that we will cover here. Of course you should also consider doing more research on your own to evaluate the various sub species that fall into each one of these categories.

Archaea are a group of microscopic organisms that were discovered in the early 1970s. Like bacteria, they are single-celled prokaryotes. Archaeans were originally thought to be bacteria until DNA analysis showed that they are different organisms. In fact, they are so different that the discovery prompted scientists to come up with a new system for classifying life. There is still much about archaeans that is not known. What we do know is that many are extreme organisms that live and thrive under some of the most extreme conditions, such as extremely hot, acidic, or alkaline environments."

Of these, 375 are venomous. © Jeffrey Meyer Diet Snakes consume a variety of items including termites, rodents, birds, frogs, small deer and other reptiles. Snakes eat their prey whole and are able to consume prey three times larger than the diameter of their head because their lower jaw can separate from the upper jaw. To keep prey from escaping, snakes have rear-facing teeth that hold their prey in their mouths. Venomous snakes inject their prey with venom, while constrictors squeeze their prey. They do not need to hunt everyday. Anacondas and pythons can survive for up to a year without food after feeding. Snakes hunt mostly at night."

Native to China and Korea, there are two subspecies: the Chinese water deer ( Hydropotes inermis inermis) and the Korean water deer ( Hydropotes inermis argyropus ). Despite its lack of antlers and certain other anatomical anomalies—including a pair of prominent tusks (downward-pointing canine teeth ), it is classified as a cervid. Its unique anatomical characteristics have caused it to be classified in its own genus ( Hydropotes) as well as its own subfamily ( Hydropotinae ). [ 2] However, studies of mitochondrial control region and cytochrome b DNA sequences placed it near Capreolus within an Old World section of the subfamily Capreolinae. [ 3] [4] Its prominent tusks (elongated canines ), similar to those of musk deer, have led to both being colloquially named vampire deer in English-speaking areas to which they have been imported. The species is listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN.

The etymology of the species name corresponds to the Latin word inermis meaning unarmed, defenceless — itself constructed from the prefix in- meaning without and the stem arma meaning defensive arms, armor —, [7] and refers to the fact that the water deer is antlerless. Habitat and distribution [ edit]Korean water deer Water deer are indigenous to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, coastal Jiangsu province ( Yancheng Coastal Wetlands ), and islands of Zhejiang of east-central China, and in Korea, where the demilitarized zone has provided a protected habitat for a large number."

This region is called the Amur Region, named after the Amur River which forms a small portion of the eastern border between China and Russia. This region is characterized by mountainous areas and coniferous forests. The climate of the Amur region largely varies from summer to winter. In the summer, it may be mild to hot. In the winter, it may be bitterly cold, especially at higher altitudes. Amur tigers, like other tigers, are solitary. Each tiger will have a large territory that they will roam in search of food and at times a mate. Male tigers' territories will often cross those of several females' territories, but will generally not cross the territories of other males. In their territories, Amur tigers may have a den or lair in a cave or other area."

In the summer months, its coat is mainly reddish- to yellowish-brown (2) (3) (4) (6), with a dark line running down the centre of its back from head to rump (2) (3) (4) (6) and numerous white spots patterning its body (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7). In the winter months, the coat of the sika deer generally becomes greyer (4), with males turning dark grey to black (3) (5) and females turning light brown to grey (5), and the white spots become far less conspicuous (2) (3). The underparts of the sika deer are whitish or grey (2), and there is a large, white, heart-shaped patch across the rump and tail (2) (4) (5) (6) which is edged with black. A thin, dark line also runs down the white tail (6). Male sika deer, known as stags, are much larger than the females (4), and can be distinguished by the presence of antlers which are narrow (2) and branched (3), usually with between two and five points or ‘tines’ (2). These antlers typically reach between 30 and 66 centimetres in height (2). A pronounced V-shaped mark can be seen on the brow of the male sika deer (5), and distinct white glands are visible on the lower hind legs (3) (5). The sika deer produces a wide range of vocalisations (2) (3), which are typically most noticeable during the mating season (2). During this time, known as the ‘rut’, males make long, drawn-out whistling cries which are said to sound like a siren and can become more scream-like as the rut progresses (5)."

In addition, numerous introductions have resulted in established populations in Australia, Austria, Denmark, England, France, Ireland, Jolo Island (south of the Philippines), New Zealand, Poland, Scotland, Maryland, Morocco, Oklahoma, Texas, Wisconsin, and Virginia (Feldhamer 1980, http://www.assateague.com/sika.html 1997, Nowak 1991, and Whitehead 1972). Biogeographic Regions nearcticintroducedpalearcticintroduced nativeorientalintroduced nativeethiopianintroducedaustralianintroduced Habitat Cervus nippon is primarily a forest-dwelling deer that particularly prefers forested areas with a dense understory (Nowak 1991). However, these animals are able to adapt quite well to a variety of other habitats such as freshwater marshes (Maryland) and grasslands (New Zealand) (Nowak 1991). In addition to their environmental adaptability, sika deer are found at a variety of elevations from sea level to 1800 m, and populations participate in seasonal altitudinal migrations of up to 700 m depending on such factors as snowfall and its subsequent melt, reproductive periods, and plant defoliation (Feldhamer 1980). The summer ranges of these animals are generally higher and larger than their winter ranges (Nowak 1991). Habitat Regions temperate terrestrial Terrestrial Biomes savanna or grassland forest scrub forest mountains Wetlands marsh Range elevation0 to 1800 m0.00 to 5905.51 ft Physical Description Cervus nippon is a small to medium-sized deer with a head and body length of approximately 950-1,800 mm, a tail length of about 75-130 mm, and a height (measured at the shoulder) of 640-1090 mm (Feldhamer 1980, Nowak 1991). On average, males grow until they are 7-10 years old, while females stop growing at age 4-6 years (Nowak 1991). This results in the sexual dimorphism of males averaging 8.7% larger than females (Feldhamer 1980 and Nowak 1991). The pelage of C. nippon ranges from chestnut-brown to reddish-olive and exhibits a great deal of variation resulting in colors such as yellow-brown, gray-brown, tan, black, or gray depending on the subspecies (Feldhamer 1980, Flerov 1952, Nowak 1991, Putman 1988, and Whitehead 1972)."

The last census, in 2005, found 450. Photograph: Mathieu Belanger/Reuters With a yelp of excitement, Pavel Fomenko slammed on the brakes and jumped out of his four-wheel drive. To most eyes, little would appear extraordinary about the vista ahead – just another stretch of bumpy, snow-covered track deep inside the endless Siberian taiga. Fomenko, however, had spotted exactly what he was looking for from the corner of his eye. He lay flat on the ground to get a close-up look at the faint imprint in the snow. “A cub, about two years old, judging from the paw size. It was here yesterday,” he said, whipping out a metal ruler to log the exact size of the print. A tiger cub’s print.

Perennial gardeners who live in areas with a lot of deer learn to interplant attractive plants with plants that deer avoid. Tiger lilies make a lovely choice for deer-resistant plantings. Considerations Most deer damage occurs during winter when food is scarce. Increasingly, though, human population shifts to rural areas, elimination of predators and growing controls of hunting have forced deer populations to forage in areas inhabited by humans. Barriers, noise and repellents have limited success against starving deer. Identification Lilium lancifolium, commonly called tiger lilies, are native to China but are ancient adaptees to the United States. They are perennial bulbs that grow to 6 feet tall and bloom in midsummer. Formerly named L. tigrinum, their scentless flowers are reddish orange to yellow pendant 3- to 5-inch recurved blooms. Their petals are covered with purplish-brown spots."

"text": "\"Cork Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur An incredibly versatile natural material, cork is harvested from living cork oak trees somewhat like wool is gathered from sheep. The trees are unharmed by the process, and they continue producing cork for an average of 150 years. Background Cork is composed of dead cells that accumulate on the outer surface of the cork oak tree. Because of its honeycomb-like structure, cork consists largely of empty space; its density (weight per unit volume) is one-fourth that of water. Unlike a honeycomb, however, cork consists of irregularly shaped and spaced cells having an average of 14 sides. With 625 million of these empty cells per cubic inch (40 million per cubic centimeter), cork is like many layers of microscopic Bubble Wrap, making it an effective cushioning material. Its low density makes cork useful in products like life preservers and buoys. The large amount of dead-air space makes cork an effective insulation material for both temperature and noise. Furthermore, it is fire retardant; flames will only char the surface, and no toxic fumes are generated. Cutting the surface of cork turns many of the microscopic cells into tiny suction cups, creating an effective non-slip surface."

"text": "Subfloor Floors & Stairs Repair Flooring Materials Choosing Underlayment for Laminate Flooring By Joseph Lewitin Updated 11/12/17Share Pin Email Dustin & Lori Slater/Creative Commons/Flickr The underlayment is the thin, flexible sheet of resilient material that is installed on top of a subfloor in order to act as a base for the laminate sheets or tiles that you are installing. While the subfloor provides the foundational support for the room, the underlayment is the foundation for the floor and is intended to enhance and protect the flooring itself. It has several functions: it slightly levels the flooring; it cushions the laminate planks; it reduces sound transmission; it slightly improves the R-value of the floor. Proper selection and installation of underlayment is important because it can affect how your laminate flooring feels and how it wears over time. The type of underlayment chosen should be based on the environment that it is being installed in, the type of floor that has been purchased, and your own personal needs for space. It is very important to follow all vendor-provided instructions about underlayment when installing laminate flooring, as improper installation or the use of a substandard underlayment can void the manufacturer's warranty on the material. Subfloor Considerations Concrete subfloors: When installing over a concrete subfloor, the main concern is moisture considerations. Concrete is a porous material that can allow water to seep up into it and through to your flooring. This can cause adhesives to loosen, tiles to warp, and mold and mildew to develop. With a concrete subfloor, you need an underlayment that acts as a vapor barrier, in order to prevent moisture from penetrating through to your laminate installation."

Some people swear by classic hardwood to increase a home’s value, while others love the look of tile and some homeowners insist on the affordable faux versions like laminate or vinyl. From triple-digit costs to DIY options, here’s a look at the flooring choices for your real estate needs: Hardwood$3-$8 per square foot DIY Installation: Difficult This Seattle home for sale features hardwood flooring Always a classic, hardwood has great staying power in a home and can fit with a number of floor plans and home styles. Many people prefer it for its “warm” look and its ability to blend rooms — ideal in houses that boast open-floor plans. While hardwood is great for living areas, it is not ideal for places with a lot of moisture, and some only suggest it in the kitchen if it’s factory pre-treated with a polyurethane sealing. Even then, hardwood should be resealed every five or six years and be treated with care. Cork & Bamboo$4-$12 per square foot DIY Installation: Medium This Knoxville home for sale has cork flooring in the kitchen Both cork and bamboo flooring are considered to be more durable and more environmentally friendly than traditional hardwoods. Cork can be harvested without killing the tree and bamboo is a fast-growing plant."

Flooring Underlayment, Defined Flooring is composed of many different layers. What you see on the surface-- laminate, wood, vinyl, for example--is not everything. More layers below this top layer (called a floor covering or sometimes a finish floor) support that top layer. Flooring underlayment is a thin material that rests between the floor covering at top and the subfloor at the bottom. Because underlayment is a catch-all term, it can take different forms-- soft like foam or felt, hard like cement board, fiberboard, or plywood. Its purpose is to provide a smooth place for the floor covering to rest; to deaden footfall; to dampen some sound; and, in some cases, to act as a moisture barrier. Here is one typical composition of flooring layers: Top Layer - Floor Covering: The finish floor, such as hardwood, laminate, or tile. This is the layer that you see and walk on. Second Layer Down - Underlayment: Plywood, fiberboard, or cementboard, and is usually either 1/4\"\" or 1/2\"\"."

Although the cork flooring of yesteryear is different from today's trend with floating cork floors, the older style construction is still available but the time to prepare, install and finish is considerably longer.

A little refresher course never hurts, though, so we’re going to go over how to do it and why it matters. Think of acclimation like an adjustment period. You and your new floors take some time to get used to each other and get comfortable, as it were. Acclimating your floors prior to installation is important because flooring material (particularly hardwood) is affected by the temperature and humidity in your home. These materials will expand or contract (their way of adjusting to your home) based on its environmental conditions, and will have settled at the end of the acclimation period. So, how do you acclimate a new floor? Read on. HARDWOODAcclimation periods for hardwood can range anywhere from one to seven days."

If problems arise, all warranties are void without proof of proper moisture tests before, during and after installation. The adhesives required to install cork flooring are extremely sensitive to moisture – especially in a cement slab. Hydrostatic pressure must be less than 3lbs/1000sf in 24 hours. By industry standards, this is ranked as “very sensitive”. For the uninitiated, most other forms of glue-down or mortar-in-place floors can accept 5-8lbs/1000sf in 24 hours before special measures must be taken. “"

Since radon is a cancer-causing, radioactive gas, it is important that all homes are tested and re-tested; and that the tests are done properly. I think a lot of people don't understand how much the amount of radon in a home can fluctuate in a given day or year, due to changes like weather or home usage. A house that has a low level of radon one year can have a high level a year or two later, especially if energy improvements have been made.

Looking at radon mitigation systems in central New York you will see a wide range of installation methods including the location of radon vent pipes. Very often radon system installations do not follow the EPA or similar radon mitigation standards. There are several reasons for this confusion including: Some radon mitigators install the quickest cheapest system possible disregarding all radon mitigation standards. Many parts of country have no codes or regulatory oversight regarding radon mitigation. Areas where radon mitigation falls under the building codes there is often confusion due to lack of education on the part of code enforcement. Many code enforcement officers simply don’t have time to inspect radon mitigation systems, unless complaints are filed. Building codes change from year to year. Some of the radon mitigation standards are considered outdated by some radon mitigators and radon supply manufacturers. Some states are just beginning to look at implementing codes and educating code enforcement officers for radon mitigation including New York State."

"text": "\"Archives | 1991Some Scientists Say Concern Over Radon Is Overblown by E. P. A. By JANE E. BRODYView page in Times Machine, Page 00004 The New York Times Archives RADON, described as the nation's most damaging cancer-causing pollutant and second leading cause of lung cancer, may be less of a hazard to the average American than is generally believed, a number of critics contend. Study after controversial study has failed to document an epidemic of disease and death traceable to radon. With direct evidence of a hazard meager at the most, scientists have begun to challenge the basis for the high level of concern that the Environmental Protection Agency and other organizations have tried to generate about this radioactive pollutant, which can seep into homes from the earth. The agency estimates that eight million American homes are dangerously contaminated by radon. It has also projected from preliminary data that radioactive particles from radon inhaled over a lifetime may cause up to 20,000 deaths from lung cancer each year. \"\" We're trying to convey the message that if you're concerned about environmental risks, this is a serious problem,\"\" said Margo T. Oge, director of the E. P. A. 's radon division. \"\" All we're asking people to do is spend $10 to $20 to find out if they have a problem, because we have no way of identifying the eight million homes at greatest risk. \"\" But several reputable scientists say that the extent and seriousness of radon contamination have been greatly exaggerated. In one of the studies that diverges farthest from the assumption of serious risk, covering 170,000 households in nearly 1,000 counties across the country, Dr. Bernard L. Cohen, professor of physics and radiation health at the University of Pittsburgh, found that counties with high radon levels tended to have low rates of lung cancer, and vice versa. Survey Said to Exaggerate Further, \"\"the E. P. A. surveys exaggerate the number of people living at or above the agency's action level of four picocuries per liter of air,\"\" said Naomi Harley, environmental radiation specialist at New York University's Institute of Environmental Medicine."

The report confirms that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and that it is a serious public health problem. The study fully supports EPA estimates that radon causes about 15,000 lung cancer deaths per year. Public Summary: The Health Effects of Exposure to Indoor Radon Radon is a naturally occurring gas that seeps out of rocks and soil. Radon comes from uranium that has been in the ground since the time the earth was formed, and the rate of radon seepage is very variable, partly because the amounts of uranium in the soil vary considerably. Radon flows from the soil into outdoor air and also into the air in homes from the movement of gases in the soil beneath homes. Outside air typically contains very low levels of radon, but it builds up to higher concentrations indoors when it is unable to disperse. Some underground mines, especially uranium mines, contain much higher levels of radon. Although radon is chemically inert and electrically uncharged, it is radioactive, which means that radon atoms in the air can spontaneously decay, or change to other atoms."

Although you may still occasionally hear remarks such as “radon is a hoax!” or “some radon is good for you,” there is no scientific doubt that exposure to high radon levels can cause lung cancer. Radon is measured in pico (peeko) curies and the US EPA considers 4.0 p Ci/L (pico curies perliter of air) as an “action level,” above which measures should be taken to reduce exposure to “as low as reasonably achievable.” Living in a home with 4.0 p Ci/l is the equivalent of each family member smoking ½ pack of cigarettes a day. For this reason the World Health Organization lowered its recommended action level from 4.0 to 2.7 p Ci/l. The state of Ohio is classified as a Zone 1 Radon Area. This means that the average home in the state exceeds the EPA action level of 4.0 p Ci/l. Below is a risk table taken from EPA Publication 6604J, “Air and Radiation. ”Need more information?"

Buyers and sellers remorse happens all the time in our business. When you sign a real estate contract as either a buyer or a seller, you have committed yourself to an agreement that is legally binding. Ideally, this would mean you would meet all terms of the contract and conduct the transaction as planned. But in real life, unexpected things happen, and the contract you were so happy with at the beginning may start to seem like a ball and chain that you want to be removed at any cost. Fortunately, it is possible to break your contract. You just have to be prepared to deal with the consequences, whatever those happen to be. In Massachusetts, breaking a real estate contract is not so simple, and there is almost always complications involved with doing so. What the ramifications are could depend on which type of real estate contract you are breaking. So when people ask “can I cancel my real estate contract”, you really need to know exactly what is kind of contract."

"text": "\"21.9 Biological Effects of Radiation We are continually bombarded by radiation from both natural and artificial sources. For example, we are exposed to infrared, ultraviolet, and visible radiation from the Sun, radio waves from radio and television stations, microwaves from microwave ovens, and X rays from various medical procedures. In addition, we are also exposed to radioactivity from the soil and other natural materials. The different energies of these various kinds of radiation are important in understanding their different effects on matter. When matter absorbs radiation, the energy of the radiation can cause either excitation or ionization of the matter. Excitation occurs when the absorbed radiation excites electrons to higher energy states or increases the motion of molecules, causing them to move, vibrate, or rotate. Ionization occurs when the radiation removes an electron from an atom or molecule. In general, radiation that causes ionization, called ionizing radiation, is far more harmful to biological systems than radiation that does not cause ionization, called nonionizing radiation. Most living tissue contains at least 70 percent water by mass. When living tissue is irradiated, most of the energy of the radiation is absorbed by water molecules."

"text": "Removal of Radon from Water REMOVAL OF RADON FROM WATER SYSTEMSClearadon Aeration in Crawlspace The removal of radon from water is limited to two practical options. One technique uses activated carbon to adsorb the radon gases from the water. The radon gas then finishes decaying in the carbon. Activated carbon should only be used if the radon concentration in the water is below 5000 p Ci/L. This low level is recommend by the EPA in their “Consumer’s Guide to Radon Reduction” because of the concern over the accumulation of radioactivity in the carbon. Aeration is used for treating water with radon levels above 5000 p Ci/L. The radon is released from the water by bubbling air through the water. The radon is then vented to the outdoors. There is no build up of radioactive materials when this technique is used. Aeration units do require the repressurization of the water after it is treated and care must be taken to properly vent the radon gas. This venting is done above the roof line just like an air radon system. An auxiliary fan outside of the living space provides for safe removal of the radon gas."

In this lesson we will break down the three main types of nuclear decay particles and discuss their composition, their effect on the nucleus, and their applications. Introduction What images come to mind when you hear the words 'nuclear radiation'? Most likely these words conjure up a graphic scene of three-eyed fish and glowing green ooze. There are many misconceptions flying around out there when it comes to nuclear radiation, and the best thing you can do is educate yourself on the subject. Who knows; someday you may be voting on whether a nuclear facility is built near you. Nuclear Radiation Did you know that less than 1% of all the radiation you are exposed to comes from the nuclear industry? Most of it comes from natural sources like rocks.

Recent studies have confirmed the EPA and Surgeon General estimates that as many as 20,000 lung cancer deaths are caused each year by radon in the United States. If your home or building has tested high for radon, the EPA recommends radon mitigation. What is radon mitigation? A properly installed radon mitigation system lowers the amount of radon in your home or building, making it as safe and radon free as practically possible. This can be accomplished in several ways depending on the construction of the home or office building. Generally a radon mitigation system is referring to an \"\"active\"\" system or one with a radon fan. There are also \"\"passive\"\" radon systems, those without radon fans, which usually rely on ventilation and sealing. A basic overview of different ways to reduce radon in your home are discussed in EPA’s “A Citizens Guide to Radon: The Guide to Protecting Yourself and Your Family from Radon\"\".

Because radon is a colorless and odorless gas, many homeowners do not feel compelled to ensure radon infiltrations are eliminated from their homes. While radon gas is a common element found in soil and rocks, it is only considered harmless when released into unconfined air such as in crawl spaces, basements, and buildings. Radon is a natural radioactive decay by-products of uranium, contained in soil and rocks. Health Risks Radon zone map showing the prevalence of radon gas throughout the United States. The sources attributing radon exposure to lung cancer are numerous. They have conducted studies to support findings that estimate 21,000 deaths per year are from lung cancer caused by radon gas inhalation or radon gas ingestion. Deaths from radon exposure in lung cancer patients are second only to deaths from lung cancer caused by smoking. The American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists provides biological and epidemiological data resources, connecting radon exposure to lung cancer. When radon is inhaled into the lungs, a radioactive decay process begins."

In fact, recent studies have highlighted the fact that radon gas inhalation kills nearly 20,000 individuals in the United States every year. The irony lies in the fact that the signs of radon gas poisoning are not clearly obvious. Small amount of radon can be easily absorbed by our body without the presence of noticeable symptoms. Once inside the body, the radon breaks down into lead that penetrates into our lungs. Subsequently, one falls prey to lung cancer with passing days. Almost anyone out there can get affected by radon gas.

Introduction Everyone is exposed to radon, but some populations described in the literature are at higher risk of exposure to increased radon levels. In addition, some populations are more at risk of adverse health effects from radon exposure. Radon exposure is, after tobacco smoke, the leading environmental cause of lung cancer death (Copes 2007; EPA 2009a). Thus for nonsmokers, radon exposure is the leading cause of lung cancer death, period (EPA 2009b). The risk of lung cancer from radon exposure is estimated at between 10 to 20 times greater for persons who smoke cigarettes as compared with those who have never smoked. Radon Exposure Dose Theory holds that everyone is at risk from radon exposure, and this health risk increases linearly with dose. Approximately 6 million homes in the United States have radon levels above 4 picocuries per liter (p Ci/L), which is the remediation level EPA recommends. Miners in uranium, tin, silver, coal, and other types of underground mines may have increased radon exposure. Good ventilation can effectively reduce the incidence of lung cancer in miners."

Because of this, special attention must be paid to the features and capabilities of these components. It is often necessary to split a television signal that is coming from a single cable outlet on a wall so that multiple televisions can receive the signal. This is far more practical and much less expensive than calling an electrician to install an entirely new outlet. There are other cases where a user may want to combine different television signals to connect them to a single television, which is something that combiners enable a user to do. The devices themselves appear very simple, but there are some features that buyers should be familiar with before making a purchase. This guide will detail the basics of using TV signal splitters and combiners, including an explanation of how they work, the different types of splitters and combiners that are available, and their common uses. How Do TV Signal Splitters and Combiners Work? TV signal splitters and combiners either split or combine television signals, depending on the preferences and needs of the user.

"text": "\"What Does \"\"RG-6\"\" Mean? We sometimes run into a bit of confusion about \"\"RG\"\" numbers--RG-6, RG-59, RG-11, et cetera...here's a little piece to explain just what these are, and what they really mean (or don't mean). All of the common RG designations apply to various types of coaxial cable. Some people think \"\"coax\"\" or \"\"coaxial\"\" cable means \"\"antenna cable,\"\" or \"\"cable with F-connectors,\"\" or some such thing, but coax is a much more general classification. Any cable which has two conductors which share a single common axis is a coaxial cable--a center conductor, accompanied by a shield, the two being kept apart by a dielectric and wrapped in an outer jacket. All common video cable types are coaxial cables, though that's harder to see in some than in others--for example, s-video cable typically is two mini-coaxial cables combined either in a common outer jacket or a zip-cord type arrangement. The origin of the RG designations is in old, long-obsolete military specs; RG stands for \"\"Radio Guide,\"\" and the RG numbers are completely arbitrary. Most cables today are referred to as RG-# \"\"type,\"\" meaning that they don't strictly conform to the original Radio Guide specifications. The result is that the RG designations are so non-specific that it's not really possible to say how a cable will perform just from knowing its RG number. We see a lot of discussions on message boards and the like where it's asserted that \"\"RG-59 has lower bandwidth than RG-6\"\" or \"\"RG-59 is not as well shielded as RG-6\"\"; statements like that are never really strictly correct."

"text": "\"Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) on TV Antenna Systems By Ben Stallions, Stallions Satellite and Antenna Introduction Electromagnetic interference (EMI), is a type of interference that is very common in metropolitan areas and can be seen most visably on the lower VHF TV channels (2-6). Although this kind of interference can be very difficult to get rid of, knowing what causes it and how to reduce it on your TV's can be of great help. Causes of EMI Interference There are two main causes of EMI interference. The first is when twinlead, a two conductor antenna lead-in wire, is used between the receiving TV antenna and the TV and/or VCR. Twinlead is the original type of downlead, but should never be used in modern TV antenna systems. Since it is not shielded, it can pickup stray interference. Instead, coaxial-type cable should be used, which has aluminum foil and braiding to reject interference. Twinlead Coaxial Cable The second leading cause of EMI interference on TV antenna systems is the utility poles in your neighborhood being grounded poorly. Normally this is not the fault of the power companies, but because of the ground being dry. Since water is the best form of an electrical ground, utility poles are grounded much better when the ground is wet than when the ground is dry."

The \"\"female\"\" connector is generally a receptacle that receives and holds the \"\"male\"\" connector. On occasion, the terms \"\"male\"\" and \"\"female\"\" are respectively referred to as the A and B ends [ citation needed], though the names of some standards conflict with this as they contain the letters A or B within the name; unambiguous, though rare, terms include plug and socket or jack. The assignment is a direct analogy with genitalia and heterosexual sex; the part bearing one or more protrusions, or which fits inside the other, being designated male in contrast to the part containing the corresponding indentations, or fitting outside the other, being designated female. Extension of the analogy results in the verb to mate being used to describe the process of connecting two corresponding parts together. In some cases (notably electrical power connectors), the gender of connectors is selected according to rigid rules, to enforce a sense of one-way directionality (e.g. a flow of power from one device to another). This gender distinction is implemented to enhance safety or ensure proper functionality by preventing unsafe or non-functional configurations from being set up."

"text": "\"What is Network Cabling? Cable is the medium through which information usually moves from one network device to another. There are several types of cable which are commonly used with LANs. In some cases, a network will utilize only one type of cable, other networks will use a variety of cable types. The type of cable chosen for a network is related to the network's topology, protocol, and size. Understanding the characteristics of different types of cable and how they relate to other aspects of a network is necessary for the development of a successful network. The following sections discuss the types of cables used in networks and other related topics. Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cable Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Cable Coaxial Cable Fiber Optic Cable Cable Installation Guides Wireless LANs Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cable Twisted pair cabling comes in two varieties: shielded and unshielded. Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) is the most popular and is generally the best option for school networks (See fig. 1)."

Read on, tune in and don't drop that remote... IR Transmission Theory Infrared light transmission has been the standard for line-of-sight type A/V remote controls since the early 1980s. IR transmitters use near-infrared light which is just below the visible spectrum [Factoid: remote control IR transmitted signals can be seen with digital cameras and camcorders as appearing to be visible, purple light]. By using near-IR wavelengths, manufacturers can use cheap, plentiful, IR LEDs which are nearly identical to their visible-light counterparts save for emitting frequencies just below what the human eye can detect. Unfortunately, infrared light as a transmission medium does have its drawbacks in the form of many other competing IR sources. The sun, light bulbs, fluorescent bulbs, fireplaces and in fact, anything that radiates heat, also radiates infrared light. Using IR for a remote now sounds like a recipe for disaster right? Wrong. Thanks to some applied modulation theory, the transmitted infrared signal will not be swamped by interference from other light sources."

Users should understand how the coaxial cable works before installing it. Video of the Day Coaxial cables are used for many electrical appliances attached to a television. Coaxial Cable The coaxial cable is a copper-based wire cable. It is composed of four separate layers. The center of the cable has a thin wire conductor. Surrounding the copper wire is a layer of plastic insulation. On top of this layer is a wire mesh providing another layer of insulation and a shield from outside interference. The final and outermost layer of the coaxial cable is another rubber layer, providing the last means of insulation."

The inner conductor is typically a straight wire, either solid or stranded and the outer conductor is typically a shield that might be braided or a foil. Coaxial cable is a cable type used to carry radio signals, video signals, measurement signals and data signals. Coaxial cables exists because we can't run open-wire line near metallic objects (such as ducting) or bury it. We trade signal loss for convenience and flexibility. Coaxial cable consists of an insulated ceter conductor which is covered with a shield. The signal is carried between the cable shield and the center conductor.

It was one of the first connectors capable of carrying microwave -frequency signals, and was invented in the 1940s by Paul Neill of Bell Labs, after whom the connector is named. [ 2]Contents [ hide ]1 Design2 Power rating3 Impedance options4 Variations4.1 Snap N4.2 HN5 See also6 References Design [ edit]Originally, the connector was designed to carry signals at frequencies up to 1 GHz in military applications, but today's common Type N easily handles frequencies up to 11 GHz. More recent precision enhancements to the design by Julius Botka at Hewlett Packard have pushed this to 18 GHz. The male connector is hand-tightened (though versions with a hex nut are also available) and has an air gap between the center and outer conductors. The coupling has a 5/8-24 UNEF thread. The center coaxial contacts are identical to TNC and BNC connectors. Amphenol [2] suggests tightening to a torque of 15 inch-pounds (1.7 N⋅m), while Andrew Corporation suggest 20 inch-pounds (2.3 N⋅m) for their hex nut variant. As torque limit depends only on thread quality and cleanliness, whereas the main operational requirement is good RF contact without significant steps or gaps, these values should be seen as indicative rather than critical. Power rating [ edit]The peak power rating of an N connector is determined by voltage breakdown/ionisation of the air near the center pin."

"text": "\"Digital coaxial cables are cables that have been specially designed to carry a digital electronic signal. Theoretically they can be used to carry almost any type of digital information from one receiver to another, and they do have a number of different applications in industry and information science. Ordinary consumers are usually most familiar with them when it comes to audio and video connections for television, gaming, and high-speed internet modems, though. They are also important to many “ surround sound ” systems. In most cases they’re basically the same as standard coaxial cables in terms of appearance and basic infrastructure, though they are usually better and handling digital, as opposed to analog, signals thanks to slightly different insulating techniques. Experts frequently compare them to optical cables, and there is some debate in the marketplace when it comes to which of these two options is best for various multimedia settings. Coaxial Cable Basics Coaxial cables, whether digital or standard, are in most cases simply a central wire wrapped by an insulating material, covered by a metal shield, and finally sealed with a plastic casing. The signal is transmitted along the cable as an electromagnetic wave, which travels through the insulation. Coaxial cables are available with a variety of different plugs at either end for connecting to different equipment such as a television sets and cable boxes. Ad Their job is primarily to carry signals related to sound and imaging from a host, like a cable provider or network television station, to a receiver in a device."

"text": "There are three common types of diverticular disease: diverticulosis, diverticulitis, and diverticular bleeding. The diseases are caused when pouches, called diverticula, form inside the large intestine. They can also form in the esophagus, small intestine, or stomach, but these are rarer. The pouches are common, and the likelihood of having them increases as a person ages. While only 10 percent of people over age 40 have diverticular disease, 50 percent of people over age 60 do. A person has diverticulosis simply by having the pouches on his intestinal wall. Diverticulosis is the type of diverticular disease that usually does not have any symptoms. If a person does experience symptoms, they are usually mild, such as cramps. Diverticula can form in the colon when a person is constipated. Pressure from straining pushes the pockets outward on weakened areas of the intestinal wall."

"text": "Diverticular Disease - Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment What is diverticular disease ? It is the formation of pouches of gastrointestinal lining which bulge through the muscle of the colon wall. It is a bit like having lots of little hernias in your large intestine. The intestinal walls are made up of many different layers. The inner most layers the mucosa and the sub mucosa are delicate and weak and the muscle layers underneath are stronger and contract in order to push your stool along to the back passage and then out through the anus when you have a bowel movement. Think of it a bit like a bicycle tire with an inner tube and an outer tube. The muscular layers normally keep the delicate inner layer in position. As we age however, the intestinal wall weakens and pressure against the wall can cause the inner layer to push through the muscle layer forming pouches called diverticula. This is far more likely to happen if we have constipation as when the stools are hard they exert far more force against the intestinal wall than when they are soft. This is an illustration showing the openings leading to the diverticula."

In this slide show we will discuss colonic diverticula, which are bulging sacs that push outward on the colon wall. Diverticula can occur anywhere in the colon, but most commonly form near the end of the colon on the left side (sigmoid colon). What Is Diverticulitis? If a diverticulum becomes inflamed or infected or the area around the diverticulum is swollen, it is called diverticulitis. If the inflammation or infection becomes severe enough, the diverticulum can rupture, spreading bacteria from the colon to the surrounding tissues, causing an infection called peritonitis, or forming a pocket of infection called an abscess. What Is Diverticulosis? When a patient has diverticula (bulging sacs) in the colon this is called diverticulosis, or diverticular disease. How Common Is Diverticular Disease?"

A diverticulum (if there are more than one they are known as \"\"diverticula\"\") is a protrusion of the inner lining of the intestine through the outer muscular coat to form a small pouch with a narrow neck. The commonest site for diverticula to develop is the lower left part of the colon. The presence of diverticula is often referred to as diverticulosis. What causes diverticula to form? Some people are born with a diverticulum, most often from the small intestine. Most diverticula develop during later life and are more and more common with increasing age. In Britain over half the well population aged more than 70 years have diverticula of the large intestine. In some rural areas of the world, particularly in Africa, diverticula are rarely seen. This difference from Western countries is not fully understood but is thought to be due to diet."

However, these pouches can protrude without becoming infected. This is known as diverticulosis, and the pouches are called diverticula. Many individuals have a number of diverticula but feel no ill effects. However, when a pouch becomes infected, it can be very painful. Around 50 percent of people are thought to have diverticulosis by the age of 50 years. An estimated 10 to 25 percent of people with diverticulosis will go on to develop diverticulitis, although this figure is debated, and some believe it may be as low as 1 percent. By the age of 80 years, an estimated 65 percent of people have diverticulosis. A study found that the incidence of diverticulitis among young obese adults is growing. A National Institutes of Health (NIH) report revealed that the cost of digestive diseases is now more than $141 billion a year in the United States."

"text": "\"Posted by Stony Brook Surgery on June 21, 2012Dr. Paula I. Denoya Diverticulitis and diverticulosis are two big medical terms. They may sound alike, but they refer to different, albeit related, conditions of the digestive tract. Knowing the difference between them, and how to prevent the painful disease associated with them makes good sense — plus what the best treatment is, in case you ever need it. Here, Paula I. Denoya, MD, assistant professor of surgery and a member of our Colon and Rectal Surgery Division, answers a few of the frequently asked questions about diverticulitis and diverticulosis, and she clarifies the difference between them and their management. Q: What causes diverticulosis to turn into diverticulitis? A: Diverticulosis is a condition where small pockets occur in the wall of the colon, or large intestine. These pockets are believed to be caused by high pressure within the colon pushing out against weak spots in the colon wall. These pockets, called diverticula, become more common as people age, though they can be found in patients as young as 25. Diverticulosis can lead to bleeding or diverticulitis."

Diverticula are small bulges or pockets that can develop in the lining of the intestine as you get older. Most people with diverticula don't get any symptoms and only know they have them after having a scan for another reason. When diverticula cause symptoms, such as pain in the lower tummy, it's called diverticular disease. If the diverticula become inflamed or infected, causing more severe symptoms, it's called diverticulitis. You're more likely to get diverticular disease and diverticulitis if you don't get enough fibre in your diet. Symptoms of diverticular disease and diverticulitis Symptoms of diverticular disease include:tummy pain, usually in your lower left side, that tends to come and go and gets worse during or shortly after eating (emptying your bowels or passing wind eases it)feeling bloatedconstipation, diarrhoea or bothoccasionally, mucus in your poo If your diverticula become infected and inflamed (diverticulitis), you may suddenly:get constant, more severe tummy painhave a high temperature of 38C or abovefeel sick or vomitfeel generally tired and unwellget blood in your poo or bleeding from your bottom ( rectal bleeding )When to get medical advice Contact your GP as soon as possible if you have symptoms of diverticular disease or diverticulitis. If you've already been diagnosed with diverticular disease, you usually don't need to contact your GP – the symptoms can be treated at home.

Diverticula often exist within the body without infection or inflammation. This condition is called diverticulosis, a less serious condition than diverticulitis. Diverticulosis becomes more common as you age, occurring in about half of Americans over age 60. With diverticulitis, these diverticula are inflamed or infected, or they may tear."

"text": "\"Diverticulosis and diverticulitis From Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine, 4/6/01 by Rosalyn S. Carson-De Witt Definition Diverticulosis refers to a condition in which the inner, lining layer of the large intestine (colon) bulges out (herniates) through the outer, muscular layer. These outpouchings are called diverticula. Diverticulitis refers to the development of inflammation and infection in one or more diverticula. Description Diverticula tend to occur most frequently in the last segment of the large intestine, the sigmoid colon. They occur with decreasing frequency as one examines further back toward the beginning of the large intestine. The chance of developing diverticula increases with age, so that by the age of 50, about 20-50% of all people will have some diverticula. By the age of 90, virtually everyone will have developed some diverticula. Most diverticula measure about 3 mm to just over 3 cm in diameter. Larger diverticula, termed giant diverticula, are quite infrequent, but may measure as large as 15 cm in diameter. Causes & symptoms Diverticula are believed to be caused by overly forceful contractions of the muscular wall of the large intestine."

Another category of chronic disease has been termed symptomatic uncomplicated diverticular disease and is defined as diverticulosis associated with chronic gastrointestinal symptoms in the absence of diverticulitis or overt colitis.

It might not seem intuitive that something your body can't digest can benefit your health, but it can. Cellulose is a type of fiber called insoluble fiber, and its benefits include helping food move through your digestive system more quickly, thus preventing constipation, and reducing the risk of developing a condition called diverticular disease. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load A Closer Look at Cellulose The most abundant of all natural organic compounds, cellulose is a structural component of plant foods found in the cell walls of plants. About 33 percent of vegetable matter, 90 percent of cotton and 50 percent of wood is composed of cellulose. In addition to occurring naturally in the foods you eat, it is also used in the manufacture of paper, fabric, plastic and photographic film. You can also find it in the supplement aisle in powder form. Primary Purpose of Insoluble Fiber Cellulose is considered insoluble because it does not bind with water nor change form in the digestive tract. Another type of fiber, called soluble fiber, does bind with water and become a gel-like substance -- that type of fiber serves different purposes in your body. Because insoluble fiber travels through your digestive system unchanged, it helps move waste through your digestive tract, which prevents constipation."

"text": "Large intestine pain is often caused by an intestinal obstruction, intestinal polyps, or Crohn’s disease. Each of these affect different parts of the large intestine, but the pain is often localized in the abdominal area. The different symptoms that accompany each of these diseases and conditions can help to distinguish which one an individual is suffering from. All of these causes require medical attention because of the risk of cancer and other serious illnesses. The treatments often range from medications to minor surgeries, and there are natural remedies to help alleviate symptoms. Intestinal obstruction is a common cause of large intestine pain. Some of the symptoms include abdominal pain, constipation, and sometimes rectal bleeding. The three main causes of intestinal obstruction are colorectal cancer, volvulus, and diverticular disease. Volvulus is the twisting of the bowel, which forms a closed loop. Diverticular disease is when pouches, called diverticula, surrounding the large intestine constrict it and make the passage inside too narrow."

They are most closely related to mosses and liverworts. They never have flowers and fruits but instead reproduce by spores typically produced on the lower side of the fronds or ‘leaves’ or on specialized spore-bearing fronds. Do ferns make good garden plants? Ferns make good, low maintenance garden plants that have surprisingly few pests and diseases. Many ferns prefer light to moderate shade, somewhat moist conditions and soil rich in organic matter. Ferns are adapted to a wide variety of conditions–some ferns prefer dry rocky sites or wet marshy conditions while others thrive in limestone-rich soils. There are garden ferns for just about every condition you encounter in a garden."

"text": "Is There Anything Deer Will Not Eat?— Written By N. C. Cooperative Extension Ornamental grasses like this pink muhly grass are rarely bothered by deer. High populations and disappearing woodland habitat are forcing deer to seek food in our backyards and gardens. One of the easiest ways to minimize deer damage in your yard is to landscape with plants deer prefer not to eat. While no plant is deer proof, there are many good landscape plants for this area that deer find less palatable – a solution that is both effective and relatively low-cost, once you know which plants to choose. Deer Resistant Trees and Shrubs Like goats, deer are browsers who feed on a variety of plants, including trees and shrubs. Large trees tend to be spared simply because they are too tall for deer to reach all but the lowest branches, leaving small trees and shrubs to bear the brunt of the damage, especially in winter. There are several trees and shrubs that have withstood the test of time and proven to be deer resistant. This does not mean deer will not eat them if it comes down to a choice between eating something they don’t like and starving to death. But most of the time these are varieties deer will pass over in favor of other plants."

Perhaps they have struggled to keep turf grass alive under a tree canopy and are looking for a better solution. Perhaps they have a small yard and the area beneath the tree's canopy is critical to their being able to have flowerbed space in their yard. Perhaps they are tired of mowing or have admired blooming boulevards planted by others in their neighborhood and would like to follow suit. Whatever the circumstances, under planting trees with plants other than turf is an option that can be aesthetically pleasing and also beneficial to the tree, if done with certain practices and principles in mind. Tools, Supplies and Equipment: A garden fork Small garden trowel Garden gloves Rope, a hose and / or spray paint Organic mulch (shredded leaves, cocoa bean hulls, shredded bark or wood chips)Slow release Nitrogen fertilizer Roundup A water source* Do not use large or power equipment, even if available!Site Situations and Considerations: Avoid Tree Root Damage In all instances, care needs to be taken to minimize disturbance and damage to tree roots during the preparation and planting processes. There is a common misconception that most tree roots are deep and create a mirror image of the tree's crown. In reality, most roots are fairly close to the surface and reach even beyond the drip-line of the crown (Figures 1a and 1b). If the tree has turf growing (or struggling to grow) up to its trunk, this grass needs to be carefully removed before planting takes place. Studies have shown that young trees grown without turf beneath their canopies enjoy a more vigorous root system and grow larger and faster above ground, as well."

The colour is maintained in the older fronds, but darker in contrast with the younger growth. The colour develops more fully as the plant matures. Plants are very cold hardy, and can withstand quite heavy frosts. A shady location in humus-rich media is preferred, but plants in good light develop the best colour."

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

"text": "\"Related Articles Guide to Ferns How to Identify Ferns The Types of Large Coarse Ferns Varieties of Fern Plants Ferns may be notorious for growing in places with rich, moist soil and full to partial shade, but you can find nonconformists that do well in other conditions. The roughly 20,000 species of this seedless and flowerless plant reproduce via spores, which develop on its fertile fronds. In the landscape, gardeners frequently plant ferns as edging and to add texture. Some types do well in containers, and most resist rabbits and deer. Ground Cover and Cut Flower Arrangements Some types of ferns make ideal ground covers and look lovely in cut flower arrangements. The Japanese painted fern (Athyrium niponicum) “Red Beauty” bears arching, triangular, fronds with intense burgundy-red veins and stems. It’s exceptional in mixed containers and grows 16 to 29 inches tall by 12 to 18 inches wide in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 through 9. Himalayan maidenhair fern (Adiantum venustum) features uncharacteristic, small leaves with black stems and is semi-evergreen in mild winter climates. It does best in consistently moist soil and grows 8 to 12 inches tall by 12 to 23 inches wide in USDA zones 5 through 9. Tolerates Full Sun While most ferns need at least partial shade, some thrive in full sun."

"text": "Japanese holly fern (Cyrtomium falcatum) has a unique form compared to other related plants, adding texture and contrast to a garden or landscape. Its hardiness -- in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 6 through 10 -- and its wide adaptability make it easy to grow in many different environments across the country. Description Japanese holly fern grows in a mound that reaches about 1 to 2 feet high and 2 to 3 feet wide, with each individual frond growing 24 inches in length and about 4 to 7 inches in width. The fronds arch gracefully as they grow outward from the middle, creating a vase shape. Unlike the usual deep-cut foliage of other ferns, this plant has leathery holly-like leaflets, called pinnae. Spores grow under each pinnae, and spread with the wind. In the right conditions, the fern can spread quickly with these spores. Culture and Care Japanese holly fern thrives in full or partial shade and well-draining, acidic soil. Although it prefers moist soil with consistent watering during the growing season, it can tolerate arid conditions due to its leathery frond texture. For optimum growth, provide 1 inch of water per week during the hot summer months when the plant does not receive it from rainfall."

"text": "Ferns Q: Please give me some alternatives to Boston fern. A: We have several different ferns which behave themselves to much better than Boston fern but still have similar light (shady) requirements. Here are just a few: Royal fern, Osmunda regalis, can be found growing in cold hardiness zones 3-10; shrives in rich, organic soils, can reach heights up to 6 feet but will generally die back in the winter. Good news – the deer don’t seem to like it. New growth in the spring is a pretty pale pink. Giant leather fern, Acrostichum danaeifolium, is a Florida native fern. This can grow in cold hardiness zones 8b – 12b – definitely not a northern U. S. fern. Individual fronds can grow up to 12 feet tall and the plant can spread to 5 feet wide. This fern prefers to grow in moist soil and is often found along fresh water swamps. To keep the plant looking its best in cultivated areas, consider removing old fronds and annual fertilization is not required."

There are many types with varying preferences and sizes. Some ferns are evergreen and leathery, while others die down to the ground in fall and return in spring. How to grow: Find the right fern for the soil type and exposure you have, and it will make itself at home. Most types prefer moist shade. Some ferns spread rapidly, so if your space is small, select nonrunning types. Water plants well after planting to help them settle in. Before long they will be totally carefree except for removing last year's fronds from deciduous types. Related genera: Athyrium nipponicum or pictum, the Japanese painted fern, is noninvasive."

Shown are the Infantrymen of the 13th Canadian Infantry Brigade Group disembarking from a landing craft during operation COTTAGE, the invasion of Kiska. Library and Archives Canada, accession number 1967-052 NPC, item Z-1995-31This resource guide is designed to aid students and teachers in researching Alaska’s World War II history. Alaska’s role as battlefield, lend-lease transfer station, and North Pacific stronghold was often overlooked by historians in the post-war decades, but in recent years awareness has been growing of Alaska’s wartime past. This renewed interest generates exciting educational opportunities for students and teachers researching this chapter in the history of our state. Few people know that the only World War II battle fought on U. S. soil took place in Alaska or that Japanese forces occupied two Aleutian Islands for more than a year. Still fewer know of the Russian pilots who trained in Fairbanks, the workers who risked their lives building the Alaska Highway, or the Alaska Scouts who patrolled the Bering Sea coast. The lives of Alaskans were forever changed by the experience of war, and the history of that dramatic era is still being written. A map of important World War II sites, followed by a summary of Alaska’s World War II experience is included. Information about National Historic Landmarks and Monuments related to World War II in Alaska is also included."

"text": "\"Where did it come from? The answer seems to be Eastern China, in the mountains to the west of Shanghai. Although there have been various suggestions of earlier dates, and of the possibility of the ginkgo being indigenous to Japan, the first reliable records suggest that the tree came to be known in the early 1000s (Sung dynasty), in the Xuangcheng province of Anhui region. It was cultivated almost immediately, but it takes a long time for a planted tree to begin to bear seeds. It became more widely known over the next couple of centuries, so that a book published in 1313 was able to complain that ginkgo seeds no longer had their former (rarity) value. Unfortunately, it's still not clear whether the tree was discovered in a truly wild state in 10-something, or whether it had been cultivated in the backwoods of China for centuries before. After all, this was a thousand years ago. Unfortunately, it's also still unclear whether the tree survived in the wild into the last thousand years. There appear to have been intermittent reports of discoveries (which sometimes surface in web pages that talk about the ginkgo being \"\"discovered\"\" in China in the 1700s), but none are consistently confirmed. So when did it come to Japan?"

"text": "Types of Lyme Disease Testsby ldgadmin on May 27, 2011There are a number of different types of Lyme disease tests, all with varying degrees of accuracy, and applications in a variety of patient scenarios. Western blot, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction ( PCR) can all be carried out through a blood test after venipuncture, or by testing the cerebrospinal fluid following a lumbar puncture (spinal tap). Lumbar puncture gives a more reliable diagnosis but is more difficult to perform and the antigens are often elusive in cerebrospinal fluid leading to a positive finding in only 10-30% of those patients cultured. PCR Tests for Lyme Disease Standard Lyme disease testing involves either an ELISA or an IFA followed, if positive or indeterminate, by a Western blot test. More expensive and time-consuming tests such as PCR tests require experienced laboratory technicians and are still susceptible to false positives particularly from blood and cerebrospinal fluid samples. PCR is more reliable for detecting Osp A DNA in synovial fluid however, making it useful in diagnosing Lyme arthritis . PCR is the only practical means of directly detecting the presence of the infectious Borrelia bacteria, with other tests, such as those mentioned above, merely testing for antibodies to the organism. As such, a positive result may indicate either current or previous infection and is not necessarily proof of active infection causing Lyme disease. PCR tests, along with serological tests rely on detecting the genetic material (DNA) of the suspected infectious spirochaete or the antibodies to such bacteria. Where a patient has stored a removed tick for analysis it can be helpful to perform PCR testing on the tick to detect the presence of Borrelia bacteria and other possible infectious organisms."

"text": "What to do after a Tick Bite There are many different types of ticks in the United States, some of which are capable of transmitting infections. The risk of developing these infections depends upon the geographic location, season of the year, type of tick, and for Lyme disease only, how long the tick was attached to the skin. While many people are concerned after being bitten by a tick, the risk of acquiring a tick-borne infection is quite low, even if the tick has been attached, fed, and is actually carrying an infectious agent. Ticks transmit infection only after they have attached and then taken a blood meal from their new host []. A tick that has not attached (and therefore has not yet become engorged from its blood meal) has not passed any infection. The risk of acquiring Lyme disease from an observed tick bite, for example, is only 1.2 to 1.4 percent, even in an area where the disease is common. If a person is bitten by a deer tick (the type of tick that carries Lyme disease), a healthcare provider will likely advise one of two approaches: Observe and treat if signs or symptoms of infection develop Treat with a preventive antibiotic immediately – only under certain circumstances There is no benefit of blood testing for Lyme disease at the time of the tick bite; even people who become infected will not have a positive blood test until approximately two to six weeks after the infection develops (post-tick bite). The history of the tick bite will largely determine which of these options is chosen. Before seeking medical attention, the affected person or household member should carefully remove the tick and make note of its appearance. Only the Ixodes species of deer tick causes Lyme disease."

The deer tick, Ixodes scapularis, was associated with the transmission of the disease in 1977, but the cause of the disease remained unknown until Willy Burgdorferi discovered Borrelia burgdorferi in 1981. The disease is caused by three species of bacteria all belonging to Borrelia - Borrelia burgdorferi, Borrelia afzelii, and Borrelia garinii. Borrelia burgdorferi is the main cause of Lyme disease in North America, where the other two species affect Europe [1, 2]. Borrelia burgdorferi Description and Structure Figure 1.

I am asked frequently whether it is possible to recover from Lyme disease without the use of antibiotics. It’s a great question, but unfortunately not one for which I have a definitive answer. Rather, my answer is “sometimes”. I wish I could tell people that of course they can treat their Lyme disease 100% naturally and have great outcomes every time, but that is just not realistic. I definitely have patients who I work with without the use of antibiotics, where herbal antimicrobials and immune support, coupled with dietary changes and other supportive nutritional supplements have recovered them to the point where they are back out in their lives, either completely symptom free or at 90-95% of their normal (pre-Lyme) level of functioning. I love these cases as they really reinforce the power of natural medicine, and show us that God has instilled healing properties in the plants He has given us. More often than not, when patients opt for all-natural treatment, I select a variety of modalities to cover as many bases as possible. An example is to combine the immune-supportive properties of transfer factors (both general and Lyme-specific), with herbal antimicrobials (teasel, cats claw, olive leaf, etc), with Lyme-specific homeopathic remedies, and as I said, base all of that on a solid foundation of good nutrition. We want to address the infection from several directions at once to maximize the impact and our success."

Lyme disease is transmitted through the bite of an infected tick. Clinical signs of Lyme disease are not always obvious, so periodic testing can identify dogs that have been infected.

This sense of “biological vector” is the primary one in epidemiology and in common speech. Lyme borreliosis or Lyme disease is one of the most common among vector-borne diseases and the carriers are often ticks. However, as a tick can transmit up to 100 different infections, it shares common traits with other hosts transmitting some of the same infections – hence the name “vector-borne”. Examples of other vectors are lice, fleas, mice, mosquitos etc. They carry bacteria, viruses, multicellular microscopical parasites and other pathogens that may transmit a disease through feeding activity. In the following, a general outline on tick-borne diseases such as Lyme Borreliosis and other associated infections will be presented. Lyme Borreliosis Infections transmitted by ticks are well known.

There is no set protocol for treating tick-borne diseases, because every case is different. Variables such as duration of infection without treatment, spread of infection to different areas of the body and brain, and presence of co-infections make it impossible for doctors to treat any two cases the same way. Lyme manifests itself in myriad ways, and people respond differently to various treatments. Some patients suffer more from joint pain, while others’ chief complaints are neurological.

Although most melanomas arise in the skin, they may also arise from mucosal surfaces or at other sites to which neural crest cells migrate, including the uveal tract. Uveal melanomas differ significantly from cutaneous melanoma in incidence, prognostic factors, molecular characteristics, and treatment. ( Refer to the PDQ summary on Intraocular (Uveal) Melanoma Treatment for more information. ) Incidence and Mortality Estimated new cases and deaths from melanoma in the United States in 2018: [ 1]New cases: 91,270. Deaths: 9,320. Skin cancer is the most common malignancy diagnosed in the United States, with 5.4 million cancers diagnosed among 3.3 million people in 2012. [ 1] Invasive melanoma represents about 1% of skin cancers but results in most deaths. [ 1, 2] The incidence has been increasing over the past 30 years. [ 1] Elderly men are at highest risk; however, melanoma is the most common cancer in young adults aged 25 to 29 years and the second most common cancer in those aged 15 to 29 years. ["

"text": "What is Metastatic Melanoma?04 October 2012, By oncosec , 0 Comments As the largest organ of the body, the skin protects us from a myriad of conditions, parasites, and other foreign agents. Be that as it may, it is also highly susceptible to different diseases, viruses, and cancers. Different skin types can be more resistant or more susceptible to different conditions. One type of cancer that aggressively attacks the skin is melanoma: the later stage of which is known as metastatic melanoma. Often referred to as the most hazardous form of skin cancer, melanoma tends to start as spots or moles on the skin. As a fast spreading cancer, this can quickly move into the surrounding skin and organs. Described as a cancer of the melanocytes (the cells which produce melanin: a pigment responsible for color in the skin), melanoma can actually start in many areas of the body. However, it is predominantly found in the skin. While it is less common than other types of skin cancer, melanoma is notorious for having low life expectancies – especially if not treated until the later stages – and becomes progressively more difficult to treat, as the cancer advances. The incidence for melanoma is expected to be 76,250 in 2012 according to the National Cancer Institute."

As such, it is difficult to talk about cancer without understanding the specific type of cancer someone has developed. There are several ways in which cancers are categorized. Understanding how cancers are named and classified may help you better understand some of the foreign sounding terms used when talking about these concerns. Classification of Cancer Types Some of the ways cancers are separated into different groups include: By the type of cell or tissue where the cancer began By the organ or organ system where the cancer originated Cancers may also be referred to as \"\"solid\"\" or blood-related cancers. Blood-related cancers include leukemias, lymphomas, and myelomas, while solid cancers include all other cancers. Other distinguishing characteristics of tumors are discussed below. Article Myeloma Is the Least Common Type of Blood Cancer Article Could That Nail Discoloration Be a Melanoma? Primary Cancer and Metastases An often confusing point in discussing cancer types occurs when a cancer spreads ( metastasizes) to another region of the body.

Use the menu to see other pages. Staging is a way of describing where the cancer is located, if or where it has spread, and whether it is affecting other parts of the body. Doctors use diagnostic tests to find out the cancer's stage, so staging may not be complete until all of the tests are finished. Knowing the stage helps the doctors decide what type of treatment is best and can help predict a patient's prognosis, which is the chance of recovery. There are different stage descriptions for different types of cancer. Factors used for staging melanoma To determine the stage of a melanoma, the lesion and some surrounding healthy tissue needs to be surgically removed and analyzed using a microscope. Doctors use the melanoma’s thickness, measured in millimeters (mm), and the other characteristics described in the Diagnosis section to help determine the disease’s stage."

Because OM is resistant to conventional systemic therapies, early diagnosis and treatment is essential. If the melanoma has metastasized, or spread, it can be more difficult to treat.

Treatment of Primary Ocular Melanoma The primary goals of treating the eye tumor include preventing metastasis, sparing the eye and preserving vision.

What were the basic results? How did the researchers interpret the results? Conclusion“Skin cancer: Genetic mutations 'warn of risk',” reports BBC News today. The science behind the headline involved sequencing the genetic material of 184 people with a strong family history of malignant melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer. The aim was to identify previously unknown genetic variations that may increase the risk of melanoma; information that could possibly have a future role in the early detection of people with a high genetic risk. The genetic profiling narrowed in on variations in the POT1 gene, a gene involved in the protection of the ends of chromosomes, large bundles of densely packed DNA in cells. The people involved mostly came from families where:numerous people had been affected by melanomawere individuals that presented with multiple separate melanomas, orhad developed melanoma at a very early age, suggesting there could be a genetic link for their cancer As such the research was a step forward in understanding the genetics of melanomas in people with a strong family history, but the results cannot be applied to all people with melanoma."

Different cancers have different risk factors. Some risk factors, like smoking, can be controlled. Others, like a person's age or family history, can't be changed. But risk factors don't tell us everything. Having a risk factor, or even many risk factors, does not mean that you will get the disease. And many people who get the disease may not have had any known risk factors. Even if a person with basal or squamous cell skin cancer has a risk factor, it is often very hard to know what part that risk factor may have played in getting the cancer. These are risk factors for basal and squamous cell skin cancer: Ultraviolet (UV) light Sunlight is the main source of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can damage the genes in your skin cells."

"text": "Overview Melanoma Melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer, develops in the cells (melanocytes) that produce melanin — the pigment that gives your skin its color. Melanoma can also form in your eyes and, rarely, in internal organs, such as your intestines. The exact cause of all melanomas isn't clear, but exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight or tanning lamps and beds increases your risk of developing melanoma. Limiting your exposure to UV radiation can help reduce your risk of melanoma. The risk of melanoma seems to be increasing in people under 40, especially women. Knowing the warning signs of skin cancer can help ensure that cancerous changes are detected and treated before the cancer has spread. Melanoma can be treated successfully if it is detected early. Symptoms Moles Melanoma Melanomas can develop anywhere on your body. They most often develop in areas that have had exposure to the sun, such as your back, legs, arms and face. Melanomas can also occur in areas that don't receive much sun exposure, such as the soles of your feet, palms of your hands and fingernail beds."

The Epidermis does not contain blood vessels (non-vascular). It contains the pigment melanin which gives skin colour and allows the skin to tan, uneven distribution of melanin causes 'freckles'. The protein keratin stiffens epidermal tissue to form finger nails. Nails grow from a thin area called the 'NAIL MATRIX', growth of nails is about 1 mm per week on average. The l UNULA is the crescent shaped area at the base of the nail, this is a lighter colour as it mixes with the matrix cells.

Like other melanomas, it begins in melanocytes – the cells that produce the pigment melanin that colors the skin, hair, and eyes, as well as forms moles. Although sometimes these terms are used synonymously, they are, in fact, different. Here is a brief explanation: Uveal melanoma: The uvea is a three-layered part of the back of the eye. It is made up of the choroid, iris and ciliary body. Uveal melanoma can form in any of the three layers and is named for where it forms. Melanoma in the iris occurs in the front, colored part of the eye. Iris melanomas usually grow slowly and do not typically metastasize, or spread, to other parts of the body outside the eye. Ciliary body melanomas occur in the back part of the eye and are grouped by the size of the tumor. Melanomas in the ciliary body tend to grow and metastasize to the liver more quickly than iris melanomas."

Our cancer experts have extensive experience in properly staging and diagnosing the disease, and developing a treatment plan that's tailored to your specific type of pancreatic cancer. There are two types of pancreatic cancer, that of the exocrine gland and that of the endocrine gland. About 95 percent of pancreatic cancers begin in the exocrine (enzyme-producing) cells of the pancreas. Exocrine tumors: Most tumors affecting the exocrine gland are called adenocarcinomas. This type of cancer forms in the pancreas ducts. Treatment for these tumors is based on stage of growth. Endocrine tumors: These tumors are less common and are most often benign. Though rare, cancer stemming from a pancreatic endocrine tumor (PET) affects the hormone-producing cells. These tumors are also called islet cell tumors or neurendocrine tumors."

Pancreatic cancer starts when cells in the pancreas start to grow out of control. The pancreas is an organ that sits behind the stomach. It's shaped a bit like a fish with a wide head, a tapering body, and a narrow, pointed tail. In adults it's about 6 inches long but less than 2 inches wide. The head of the pancreas is on the right side of the abdomen (belly), behind where the stomach meets the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine)."

Pancreatic tumors are classified as exocrine and neuroendocrine (endocrine) tumors. Exocrine tumors account for more than 95% of all pancreatic cancers. These tumors start in the cells of the pancreas that are responsible for producing the enzymes that help in digestion. Within this category, the vast majority of tumors are adenocarcinomas. Adenocarcinoma is the most common type of pancreatic cancer and accounts for approximately 90% of all pancreatic cancers. Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (also called endocrine or islet cell tumors) account for less than 5% of all pancreatic tumors.

There are many types of pancreatic tumors, each with its own unique prognosis and treatment recommendations. Currently, there is no screening exam of proven value for detecting pancreatic cancer in the general population. In making a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, your doctor may conduct the following tests. Medical History and Physical Examination A series of tests may be necessary to make a definite diagnosis. Your doctor will first start by asking about your medical history and any physical complaints or symptoms, specifically recent weight loss, pain and changes in appetite, bowel patterns or skin color. The doctor will then complete a thorough physical exam, which will include palpation and observation of the chest and abdomen. Lab Tests Blood specimens may be collected and less commonly, urine or stool samples. Of particular interest to the doctor is the level of \"\"bilirubin\"\" and \"\"liver enzymes\"\" in a patient's blood, which measures liver and pancreas function. Another blood test commonly performed is CA19-9 (carbohydrate antigen 19-9)."

Coomer The consumer group, Public Citizen, has filed a petition with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requesting that the agency immediately remove the diabetes drug, Victoza, from the market because it puts patients at a higher risk of thyroid cancer, pancreatitis, serious allergic reactions and kidney failure that outweigh any documented clinical benefits. Public Citizen claims that the diabetes drug, Victoza, has a number of possible side effects including pancreatic cancer. This side effect is extremely dangerous, because once a person has pancreatic cancer and that cancer spreads, a patient stands just a 1.8% chance of surviving for longer than five years. If you have lost a loved one from Pancreatic Cancer or have suffered acute pancreatitis, hemorrhagic pancreatitis, accute necrotizing pancreatitis, or pancreas cancer; and have been using Victoza or another diabetes drug, please report the adverse action to the prescribing medical doctor as soon as possible.

The loss of a spouse, child, parent, or loved one to pancreatic cancer, pancreas cancer, or thyroid cancer can be devastating. It is often worse to then find out that the loss of your loved one was unnecessary and could have been prevented if the defective diabetes drug manufacturer had properly disclosed the drug's potential dangers. In these situations, where a loved one is lost from taking a defective diabetes drug and the drug company knew of the dangers of the drug, but marketed as safe to make a profit; families are needed to stand up and make sure that the drug company does not get away with this and will not repeat this action to other families. In fatal cancer diabetes drug lawsuits, diabetes drug attorneys will work with families to seek compensation for the loss of their loved one."

Causes and Symptoms Treatments and Diagnosis Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by out-of-control cell growth, and pancreatic cancer occurs when this uncontrolled cell growth begins in the pancreas. Rather than developing into healthy, normal pancreas tissue, these abnormal cells continue dividing and form lumps or masses of tissue called tumors. Tumors then interfere with the main functions of the pancreas. If a tumor stays in one spot and demonstrates limited growth, it is generally considered to be benign. More dangerous, or malignant, tumors form when the cancer cells migrate to other parts of the body through the blood or lymphatic systems. When a tumor successfully spreads to other parts of the body and grows, invading and destroying other healthy tissues, it is said to have metastasized. This process itself is called metastasis, and the result is a more serious condition that is very difficult to treat. In the United States each year, over 30,000 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Europe sees more than 60,000 diagnoses each year."

"text": "Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer Your physician may select one or more of the following tests to help diagnose pancreatic cancer. The following is an overview of blood tests, diagnostic imaging tests, and biopsy, which can be ordered to assist in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Blood Tests Research is advancing methods for diagnosing pancreatic cancer. Tumors release certain “markers” into a patient’s system, and biomarkers are being identified to help diagnose pancreatic cancer. The development of accurate blood tests is a major focus of medical research, but these tests are still being created and studied. There are multiple blood tests that can be helpful for diagnosing pancreatic cancer, and may be monitored on an ongoing basis to track disease progression and therapy progress: Liver function test: Measures liver enzymes and levels of bilirubin (pancreatic cancer causes elevated bilirubin in the blood)CA19-9: Measures a type of protein in the blood that is often associated with pancreatic cancer (this protein can be present in non-cancerous conditions as well)Carcinogenic Antigen (CEA): Measures a type of protein in the blood (different from CA19-9) that is often associated with pancreatic cancer (this protein can be present in non-cancerous conditions as well)Diagnostic Imaging Tests Diagnostic imaging tests can see the location of a tumor and indicate whether cancer cells have spread, or metastasized, to other parts of your body. Computed tomography (CT): Provides the physician with computer-generated, cross-sectional images of the body by taking multiple x-rays from different angles. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): Provides the physician with computer-generated, detailed images of the body by using magnetic/radiofrequency technology. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP ): Type of imaging test used in the evaluation of patients with known or suspected pancreatic cancer. An MRCP is a type of MRI programmed to look at the pancreatic and biliary tree."

For example, imaging tests can show if the cancer has spread. Imaging tests show pictures of the inside of the body. Doctors may also do tests to learn which treatments could work best.

Our bodies are made up of millions of cells, grouped together to form tissues or organs such as muscles and bones, the lungs, or the liver. Genes inside each cell order it to grow, work, reproduce and die. Normally, our cells obey these orders and we remain healthy but sometimes cell’s instructions get mixed up and behaves abnormally. After a while, groups of abnormal cells can form lumps or tumours, or can spread to through the bloodstream and lymphatic system to other parts of the body. Tumours can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Benign tumour cells stay in one place in the body and are not usually life-threatening. Malignant tumour cells are able to invade the tissues around them and spread to other parts of the body. Cancerous cells which are spread to other parts of the body are called metastases."

The word cancer is derived from the Latin word for crab because cancers are often very irregularly shaped, and because, like a crab, they \"\"grab on and don't let go.\"\" The term cancer specifically refers to a new growth which has the ability to invade surrounding tissues, metastasize (spread to other organs) and which may eventually lead to the patient's death if untreated. The terms tumor and cancer are sometimes used interchangeably which can be misleading. A tumor is not necessarily a cancer. The word tumor simply refers to a mass. For example, a collection of fluid would meet the definition of a tumor. A cancer is a particularly threatening type of tumor. It is helpful to keep these distinctions clear when discussing a possible cancer diagnosis.neoplasm- A neoplasm is an abnormal new growth of cells."

When symptoms occur, they are often vague at first and may depend on where in the pancreas the cancer is. The commonest symptoms are pain typically in the upper central abdomen but can be any part of teh abdomen, back pain, loss of appetite and loss of weight and steatorrhoea (see below). The symptoms experienced with other forms of pancreatic cancer may be different. The pain often starts as general discomfort or pain in the abdomen (tummy) which can spread to the back. Early on the pain may come and go but it can become persistent as the disease develops. Pain is often described as getting worse after meals or by lying down. Some patients have pain at night and disturbed sleep. Sometimes they report pain as a pulled muscle or as joint or bone pain."

It is a gland which secretes hormones that control various functions in the body. It is also responsible for pancreatic juice which is a digestive aid that is passed into the digestive tract to help with the breaking down of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. The pancreas is situated in the abdominal cavity and sits below the stomach. Because it is vital in digestion, injury or infection that occurs to the pancreas is considered to be extremely dangerous and must be attended to immediately. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most dangerous forms of cancer with an extremely low rate of patient survival. The pancreas is responsible for the production of insulin, somatostatin and glucagon which are important hormones in the human body. The pancreas is an organ that plays a significant role in the performance of the digestive tract within the body. It is responsible for the breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats and does this with the help of digestive juices that are present within the organ as well as a certain proportion of juices that are created by the intestines. As with any cancer, the development of abnormal cells within the organ will start to have an adverse effect on the overall functionality of the organ."

Not including non-melanoma skin cancer, the combination of lung cancer, prostate cancer, and colorectal cancer accounts for nearly half of these deaths. Cancer mortality is higher among men than it is among women. Based on statistics from 2008-2012, the rate of cancer death is 207.9 per 100,000 men and 145.4 per 100,000 women. Overall, 39.6 percent of men and women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lifetime (excluding skin cancer. ) Thankfully, survival rates overall are improving, even for some difficult to treat cancers, and more people are living beyond cancer. From 2001 and 2011, cancer death rates decreased by 1.8 percent among men, although for some specific cancers there was an increase. Better treatments, as well as early detection (especially for colon cancer), is saving lives. The best cure, however, is prevention."

The correct diagnosis of the tumor type is important since the prognosis for survival is dependant on the tumor type and surgical removal of some tumors in the pancreas can be associated with a normal life span. Often the type of tumor that is present in the pancreas can be diagnosed from specialized studies such as radioisotope studies and CT scans. There are many different types of tumors that can develop in the pancreas. A pancreatic specialist can evaluate your tumor and determine which type of tumor is present in your pancreas. Approximately 85% patients have very aggressive type of tumor called adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. In about 15% of patients other tumors in the pancreas are found that are less aggressive types of tumors which are often curable. An evaluation in a center that is experienced in the treatment of pancreatic cancer is important for determining appropriate treatment for pancreatic tumors.

How will my dizziness be treated?and more…Feeling unsteady or dizzy can happen due to poor circulation, vertigo, injury, infection, allergies, or neurological disease. Dizziness is treatable but it is important for your doctor to help you determine the cause so that the correct treatment is used. While each person will be affected differently, symptoms that warrant a visit to the doctor include a high fever, severe headache, convulsions or ongoing vomiting, chest pain, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, inability to move an arm or leg, a change in vision or speech, or hearing loss. What is dizziness? Dizziness can be described in many ways, such as feeling lightheaded, unsteady, or giddy. Vertigo is a type of dizziness experienced as an illusion of movement of self or the environment and is usually unpleasant. Others experience dizziness associated with motion sickness, a nauseating feeling brought on by the motion of riding in an airplane, on a roller coaster, or aboard a boat. Dizziness, vertigo, and motion sickness all relate to the sense of balance and equilibrium."

"text": "Vertigo and Bed Spins — not alcohol related Posted on July 12, 2012 by Yes Five A couple of years ago, we took our kids to Disney. Because I was pregnant with my twins, I got excused from all the thrill seeking and was able to observe, from a safe distance, all the spins and twists. I loved rides as a kid, but now, the sign that reads, “ Must Be Accompanied by an Adult ” prompts an immediate wave of nausea. My husband went on every roller coaster in ALL the parks, and the only ride with the ability to erase the I-am-a-kid-again-woohoo smile off his face was the Tea Cups. Yes, they look harmless … pastel cups and saucers, charmingly chipped in all the right places. But beware — while toddlers can spin and spin until they fall down just for the fun of it, adults do not have the same luxury. Sadly, even our inner ears have aged.

Since most forms of vertigo are readily treated, we recommend anyone with this condition to seek further attention despite the fact that prior visits to one's physician may not have resulted in alleviation of this condition. What exactly is vertigo? The precise definition of vertigo is an illusion of motion. But it also refers not just to illusions of motions, but chronic or intermittent sensation of loss of balance. What are common causes of vertigo? There are a large number of causes of vertigo, but the three most common causes are: Cold viruses Head trauma Meniere's disease Those are the most common causes. What do these conditions do to cause this problem?"

She did not know when an attack might happen, so she stopped driving and her social activities came to a halt. She began taking Inner Ear Balance and within weeks noticed a difference - her hearing seemed better as she was able to hear even in crowded rooms and she now feels confident enough to take short driving trips because the attacks has become so infrequent. We are both grateful that Inner Ear Balance has worked so well for her and has given her back her quality of life. **\"\" --- J. Patterson, Nashville, TNMeniere's Disease episodes can be unpredictable and incapacitating. Our customers report this is the most difficult part of having the disease - they may not be in a safe place when an episode occurs. Furthermore, many find that they are exhausted and must sleep for several hours after a severe attack. Symptom durations vary greatly with some experiencing brief \"\"shocks\"\" while others have constant unsteadiness. In general, an average Meniere's attack lasts 2 to 4 hours and involves:severe dizziness*spinning*imbalance*nausea*vomiting*sensitivity to light, motion, and sound*We understand the frustration of being misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all.

Follow Up for Vertigo Vertigo Prevention Vertigo Prognosis Vertigo Quick Overview The definition of vertigo is the feeling of a sense that your environment is spinning. It is a form of dizziness. Vertigo is caused by problems in the brain or inner ear, including sudden head movements, inflammation within the inner ear due to a viral or bacterial inner ear infection, Meniere's disease, tumors, decreased blood flow to the base of the brain, multiple sclerosis, head trauma and neck injury, migraine headaches, or complications from diabetes. Symptoms of vertigo include a sensation of disorientation or motion, which may be accompanied by nausea or vomiting, sweating, or abnormal eye movements. Other symptoms of vertigo may include hearing loss and a ringing sensation in the ears, visual disturbances, weakness, difficulty speaking, a decreased level of consciousness, and difficulty walking. Vertigo is diagnosed by a medical history and physical exam. CT scans, blood tests, magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ), and electrocardiogram ( ECG) may also be performed depending on the suspected cause."

The Clinical Problem Acute spontaneous vertigo results from an imbalance in tonic vestibular activity. The patient has an intense sensation of rotation that is aggravated by head motion and change of position. It is difficult to stand and to walk, and there is a tendency to veer toward the affected side."

BPPV is a mechanical problem in the inner ear. It occurs when some of the calcium carbonate crystals (otoconia) that are normally embedded in gel in the utricle become dislodged and migrate into one or more of the 3 fluid-filled semicircular canals, where they are not supposed to be. When enough of these particles accumulate in one of the canals they interfere with the normal fluid movement that these canals use to sense head motion, causing the inner ear to send false signals to the brain. Figure 1: Inner ear anatomy. Otoconia migrate from the utricle, most commonly settling in the posterior semicircular canal (shown), or more rarely in the anterior or horizontal semicircular canals."

Furman, MD, Ph DSections Topics Share Print The Case A 64-year-old woman, with no prior medical history, complained of sudden onset of severe vertigo and vomiting, without headache. Her initial blood pressure in the emergency department (ED) was 170/90 (at about 4:00 PM). Physical examination was limited because the patient's vertigo dramatically worsened when she opened her eyes. Neurological exam was grossly normal—the patient could follow commands and there was no focal weakness. A provisional diagnosis of labyrinthitis was made, and prochlorperazine (Compazine) 10 mg IV was administered. An hour later, however, the patient noted little improvement, and so lorazepam 2 mg IV was given. An hour after that, the patient was signed out to a second attending, who administered atropine 0.5 mg IV. Four hours later, she was signed out to a third attending. At that point (10:00 PM), the physician decided to hold her overnight in the ED and admit her if she was not better in the morning. At 11:00 PM, the patient complained of a headache and was given acetaminophen 650 mg by mouth."

"text": "\"Types of Vestibular Disorders Is there more than one kind of vestibular disorder? The vestibular system includes the parts of the inner ear and brain that process the sensory information involved with controlling balance and eye movements. If disease or injury damages these processing areas, vestibular disorders can result. Vestibular disorders can also result from or be worsened by genetic or environmental conditions, or occur for unknown reasons. The most commonly diagnosed vestibular disorders include benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), labyrinthitis or vestibular neuritis, Ménière’s disease, and secondary endolymphatic hydrops. Vestibular disorders also include superior semicircular canal dehiscence, acoustic neuroma, perilymph fistula, ototoxicity, enlarged vestibular aqueduct, migraine-associated vertigo, and mal de débarquement. Other problems related to vestibular dysfunction include complications from aging, autoimmune disorders, and allergies. Acoustic Neuroma Acoustic neuroma (also called a vestibular schwannoma) is a serious but nonmalignant tumor that develops on the sheath of inner ear's vestibulo-cochlear nerve, which transmits both balance and sound information to brain. ( This nerve is also referred to as the acoustic nerve, hence the name.) As an acoustic neuroma grows, it compresses the vestibulo-cochlear nerve, usually causing hearing loss, tinnitus, and dizziness or loss of balance."

The term encompasses a variety of sensations that can mean different things to different people. If you have ever been dizzy, you may have found it difficult to describe exactly how it made you feel. Some people who report feeling dizzy say they feel as if everything is spinning around them, or as if they are spinning or turning themselves. This is what doctors usually mean when they refer to vertigo. Others describe feeling wobbly or unsteady as if they were on a boat. And still others may describe their dizziness as a feeling of “floating”, lightheadedness or “giddiness”. Dizziness can be caused by a number of different factors, including a variety of problems within the balance control mechanism itself. How we control our balance is a complex process involving many different parts of the body. This process, as well as the physical problems that can develop, is described under How To Control Your Balance."

Along with adding nutritious foods to your diet, you must take out the ones that are unhealthy, such as foods high in trans fat, sugar and bad cholesterol. If you continue to consume these foods, it may hamper your treatment of vertigo . Anti-Inflammatory Foods for Inflammation-Related Vertigo At the heart of several conditions that cause vertigo (labyrinthitis, acoustic neuroma and multiple sclerosis) is inflammation. To combat it, you must rely on organic, whole foods that provide all the essential vitamins and minerals your body needs, along with essential fats and antioxidants that can cleanse your body of toxins. Make sure you add these foods to your diet:• Omega-3 Fatty Acids Omega-3 is a type of healthy fat that is known to help with inflammation, improve your cardiovascular health and regulate your cholesterol levels. Fish is abundant in omega-3, but certain vegetables and nuts have generous amounts of this healthy fat as well. If you're going to choose fish, one of the best sources is wild-caught Alaskan salmon, but sardines and anchovies are viable alternatives. Remember that when purchasing fish, always go for organic sources because commercially raised fish contains pollutants that may harm your health further. If you cannot get omega-3s from fish, however, consider taking a krill oil supplement.• Shiitake Mushrooms Shiitake mushrooms contain a special antioxidant called ergothioneine that is known as a \"\"cytoprotectant,\"\" or a cell protector."

No matter who you are, where you live, or how much money you make – no one is “immune” to cancer. You can exercise, eat right, never pick up a cigarette, and still get cancer. As of now, there is no “magic-bullet” that works for every diagnosed patient.

The following is a list of the most common infectious diseases throughout the world today. Accurate caseload numbers are difficult to determine, especially because so many of these diseases are endemic to developing countries, where many people do not have access to modern medical care. Approximately half of all deaths caused by infectious diseases each year can be attributed to just three diseases: tuberculosis, malaria, and AIDS. Together, these diseases cause over 300 million illnesses and more than 5 million deaths each year. The list does not include diseases that have received a significant amount of media attention in recent years-such as Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever or West Nile Virus > but which in fact have infected a relatively small number of people African Trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness): African trypanosomiasis is spread by the tsetse fly, which is common to many African countries. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that nearly 450,000 cases occur each year. Symptoms of the disease include fever, headaches, joint pains, and itching in the early stage, and confusion, sensory disturbances, poor coordination, and disrupted sleep cycles in the second stage. If the disease goes untreated in its first stage, it causes irreparable neurological damage; if it goes untreated in its second stage, it is fatal.

After years of lobbying and angling, Glaxo Smith Kline finally got their new vaccine for Hepatitis A tacked onto the mandated schedule as of Jan 2002, with no public fanfare. ( www.aap.org) The vaccine is called Havrix, and is delineated on p.1544 of the 2002 Physicians Desk Reference, which incidentally was printed much earlier last year. Merck also has a hepatitis A vaccine – Vaqta. The CDC’s mandated schedule is the brass ring that all vaccine manufacturers are going for – approval of a vaccine can mean annual revenues of $1 billion or more, which is about what Merck pulls in for their current Hepatitis B vaccine. Hepatitis A vaccine appears in a brand new category on the mandated schedule called the ‘high risk’ category. The significance of this new category will soon become apparent.

A recent study by researchers of the University of Hawaii at Manoa and the Oregon State University indicates that the SAR11 clade of bacteria shares a relatively recent common ancestor with the mitochondria existing in most eukaryotic cells. Cyanobacteria and α-proteobacteria are the most closely related free-living organisms to plastids and mitochondria respectively.

ATPBiological oxidation reactions serve two functions, as described in the previous chapter. Oxidation of organic molecules can produce new molecules with different properties. For example, increases in solubility is observed on hydroxylation of aromatic substrates by cytochrome P450. Likewise, amino acids can by oxidized to produce neurotransmitters. Most biological oxidation reactions occur, however, to produce energy to drive thermodynamically unfavored biological processes such as protein and nucleic acid synthesis, or motility. Chemical potential energy is not just released in biological oxidation reactions. Rather, it is transduced into a more useful form of chemical energy in the molecule ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This chapter will discuss the properties that make ATP so useful biologically, and how exergonic biological oxidation reactions are coupled to the synthesis of ATP."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search RNA editing is a molecular process through which some cells can make discrete changes to specific nucleotide sequences within a RNA molecule after it has been generated by RNA polymerase. RNA editing is relatively rare, and common forms of RNA processing (e.g. splicing, 5'- capping, and 3'- polyadenylation) are not usually included as editing. Editing events may include the insertion, deletion, and base substitution of nucleotides within the edited RNA molecule. RNA editing has been observed in some t RNA, r RNA, m RNA, or mi RNA molecules of eukaryotes and their viruses, archaea, and prokaryotes. [ 1] RNA editing occurs in the cell nucleus and cytosol, as well as within mitochondria and plastids. In vertebrates, editing is rare and usually consists of a small number of changes to the sequence of affected molecules. In other organisms, extensive editing ( pan-editing) can occur; in some cases the majority of nucleotides in a m RNA sequence may result from editing. RNA-editing processes show great molecular diversity, and some appear to be evolutionarily recent acquisitions that arose independently. The diversity of RNA editing phenomena includes nucleobase modifications such as cytidine (C) to uridine (U) and adenosine (A) to inosine (I) deaminations, as well as non-templated nucleotide additions and insertions. RNA editing in m RNAs effectively alters the amino acid sequence of the encoded protein so that it differs from that predicted by the genomic DNA sequence. ["

However, only the aerobic slow-twitch fiber and the anaerobic fast-twitch fiber are found in human skeletal muscle. For the purpose of gaining additional insight provided by comparative study, the cardiac muscle fiber and aerobic fast-twitch fiber will also be discussed. Aerobic means with oxygen. In body metabolism, it also means with mitochondria. The mitochondrial structure acts as a substrate to bring reactants together and catalyze reactions. The structure also helps control and neutralize the radicals, which also occur in oxidative reactions. The mitochondria also produce enzymes, which further catalyze the reactions so that they will occur at body temperature. Three of the four fibers are aerobic, with the mitochondria in each being different from the other two."

Bhagavan, Chung-Eun Ha, in Essentials of Medical Biochemistry, 2011Source and Transport of Acetyl-Co AAcetyl-Co Ais synthesized in mitochondria by a number of reactions: oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate; catabolism of some amino acids (e.g., phenylalanine, tyrosine, leucine, lysine, and tryptophan); and β -oxidation of fatty acids (see above). Since acetyl-Co A cannot be transported directly across the inner mitochondrial membrane to the cytosol, its carbon atoms are transferred by two transport mechanisms.1. Transport dependent upon carnitine: Carnitine participates in the transport of long-chain acyl-Co A into the mitochondria and plays a similar role in the transport of acetyl-Co A out of mitochondria. However, carnitine acetyl transferases have a minor role in acetyl-Co A transport.2. Cytosolic generation of acetyl-Co A (citrate shuttle): This pathway is shown in Figure 16-8. Citrate synthesized from oxaloacetate and acetyl-Co A is transported from mitochondria to the cytosol via the tricarboxylate anion carrier system and cleaved to yield acetyl-Co A and oxaloacetate. Co AThus, citrate not only modulates the rate of fatty acid synthesis but also provides carbon atoms for the synthesis. The oxaloacetate formed from pyruvate may eventually be converted (via malate) to glucose by the gluconeogenic pathway. The glucose oxidized via the pentose phosphate pathway augments fatty acid synthesis by providing NADPH."

"text": "\"oxidative phosporylation Oxidative phosphorylation is the ultimate metabolic pathway of cellular respiration, and follows glycolysis and the Krebs cycle. The enzymes of oxidative phosphorylation are membrane-bound – at the plasma membrane of prokaryotes, and the analogous inner mitochondrial membrane of eukaryotes. Energy sources such as glucose are initially metabolized ( glycolysis) in the cytoplasm and the products are imported into mitochondria, which continue catabolic metabolism employing metabolic pathways that include the Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle), beta-oxidation of fatty acids, and oxidation of amino acids. Tables Enzymes Functions Krebs cycle Enzymes Cofactors of Krebs Cycle Electron Transport vs Oxidative Phosphorylation : In oxidative phosphorylation, the energy carrier molecules generated by the citric acid cycle (NADH & FADH 2) enter an electron transfer chain that generates a proton gradient by pumping protons (H +) across the membrane. Electrons from the donors are passed through an electron transport chain to O2, which is reduced to H2O. This multi-step redox process occurs at the mitochondrial inner membrane. The enzymes that catalyze these reactions simultaneously create a proton gradient across the membrane, producing a thermodynamic high-energy state with the potential to do work. Although electron transport occurs with great efficiency, a small percentage of electrons are prematurely leaked to oxygen, resulting in the formation of the toxic free radical, superoxide. Intracellular mitochondria are remarkably similar to free-living bacteria. The known structural, functional and DNA similarities between mitochondria and bacteria provide strong evidence that mitochondria evolved from intracellular prokaryotic symbionts that took up residence in primitive eukaryotic cells.

Introduction Statin drug use has steadily increased over the last several decades, due to the widespread belief that cholesterol reduction is an important step in preventing heart disease. It is undeniable that statins are effective: they can decrease serum cholesterol levels from over 300 db/ml to well within the normal range in a matter of weeks. For a person who already has normal cholesterol levels, statins can drive their cholesterol down to levels not seen in nature. Statins have also been shown to reduce the relative risk of heart attacks in men in their 50's by as much as 30%, but, because heart attacks are relatively rare for this segment of the population, the absolute risk reduction is only on the order of 2%, a point that is often missed by the person being treated. All drugs have potential side effects, and with any drug it's a matter of weighing the risk/benefit factors to decide whether the drug is warranted."

Depletion of GR caused proliferation arrest at the G 1 phase of the cell cycle under aerobic conditions. Multicopy suppressors that restore growth were screened, and one effective suppressor was found to be the trx2 + gene, encoding a mitochondrial thioredoxin. This suggests that GR is critically required for some mitochondrial function (s). We found that GR resides in both cytosolic and organellar fractions of the cell. Depletion of GR lowered the respiration rate and the activity of oxidation-labile Fe-S enzymes such as mitochondrial aconitase and cytosolic sulfite reductase. Trx2 did not reverse the high ratio of oxidized glutathione to GSH or the low respiration rate observed in GR-depleted cells. However, it brought the activity of oxidation-labile Fe-S enzymes to a normal level, suggesting that the maintenance of Fe-S enzymes is a critical factor in the survival of S. pombe. The activity of succinate dehydrogenase, an oxidation-insensitive Fe-S enzyme, however, was not affected by GR depletion, suggesting that GR is not required for the biogenesis of the Fe-S cluster."

"text": "\"Mitochondria and Chloroplast Edit 0 3 …0 Tags No tags Notify RSSBacklinks Source Print Export (PDF)Mitochondria Mitochondria are rod-shaped organelles that can be considered the power generators of the cell, converting oxygen and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate ( ATP ). ATP is the chemical energy \"\"currency\"\" of the cell that powers the cell's metabolic activities. This process is called aerobic respiration and is the reason animals breathe oxygen. Without mitochondria (singular, mitochondrion), higher animals would likely not exist because their cells would only be able to obtain energy from anaerobic respiration (in the absence of oxygen), a process much less efficient than aerobic respiration. In fact, mitochondria enable cells to produce 15 times more ATP than they could otherwise, and complex animals, like humans, need large amounts of energy in order to survive. The number of mitochondria present in a cell depends upon the metabolic requirements of that cell, and may range from a single large mitochondrion to thousands of the organelles. Mitochondria, which are found in nearly all eukaryotes, including plants, animals, fungi, and protists, are large enough to be observed with a light microscope and were first discovered in the 1800s. The name of the organelles was coined to reflect the way they looked to the first scientists to observe them, stemming from the Greek words for \"\"thread\"\" and \"\"granule.\"\" For many years after their discovery, mitochondria were commonly believed to transmit hereditary information. It was not until the mid-1950s when a method for isolating the organelles intact was developed that the modern understanding of mitochondrial function was worked out."

Some cells in some multicellular organisms may however lack them (for example, mature mammalian red blood cells ). A number of unicellular organisms, such as microsporidia, parabasalids, and diplomonads, have also reduced or transformed their mitochondria into other structures. [ 1] To date, only one eukaryote, Monocercomonoides, is known to have completely lost its mitochondria. [ 2] The word mitochondrion comes from the Greek μίτος, mitos, \"\"thread\"\", and χονδρίον, chondrion, \"\"granule\"\" [3] or \"\"grain-like\"\". Mitochondria generate most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), used as a source of chemical energy. [ 4]Mitochondria are commonly between 0.75 and 3 μm in diameter [5] but vary considerably in size and structure. Unless specifically stained, they are not visible. In addition to supplying cellular energy, mitochondria are involved in other tasks, such as signaling, cellular differentiation, and cell death, as well as maintaining control of the cell cycle and cell growth.

"text": "IRON IS INDISPENSABLE for life, serving as metal cofactor for many enzymes, either nonheme or hemoproteins. In the latter, iron is inserted like a gem in the center of the heme prosthetic group. Hemoproteins are involved in a broad spectrum of crucial biologic functions including oxygen binding (hemoglobins), oxygen metabolism (oxidases, peroxidases, catalases, and hydroxylases), and electron transfer (cytochromes). 1 Therefore, heme is formed in almost all living systems, except for a few obligatory anaerobes and certain unicellular organisms auxotrophic for porphyrins and/or heme. Interestingly, metal-bound porphyrin rings were present at the time that photosynthesis evolved 2 (and S. I. Beale, personal communication, July 1996), indicating that some organisms synthesized heme before oxygen appeared in the earth's atmosphere. All animal cells can synthesize heme, with the exception of mature erythrocytes and perhaps some other cells at the very end of their differentiation pathways. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, the laboratories of David Shemin and Albert Neuberger elucidated the basic aspects of heme biosynthesis and showed that glycine and succinyl Co A were the source of all the heme. 3 At the same time, in vitro heme synthesis was demonstrated in red blood cells of birds 4 and human reticulocytes. 5 In 1963 Burnham and Lascelles 6 demonstrated that heme biosynthesis in the bacterium Rhodobacter spheroides is subject to a negative feedback control by heme, the end-product of biosynthetic pathway. Higher organisms remain faithful to this basic principle of heme synthesis control, although the step at which feedback regulation is executed differs in various tissues."

But did you know that you can exercise your eyes as well? Much like any other part of the body, the eyes require exercise in order to function and perform at their best. Advertisement Eye exercises are designed to strengthen your eye muscles, improve focusing, eye movements, and stimulate the vision center of your brain. Although there is no scientific proof that eye exercises will improve your eyesight, the exercises may help to counteract existing eye problems you may have and maintain your current eyesight level. How to Prepare for Eye Exercises Before you attempt eye exercises, it’s a good idea to get a professional eye exam done by your optometrist. Your optometrist can then tell you if you have any existing eye problems or issues. Before you try eye exercises, you should ask your optometrist if these exercises would benefit your eyes. Keep in mind that eye exercises will not help people who have nearsightedness, dyslexia, or excessive blinking or squinting of the eyes. Also, these exercises are usually not effective for paralysis of an eye muscle, or eye muscle spasms such as eyelid twitching."

Health providers now consider dietary preferences, exercise regimens, the types of relationships the person is engaged in, as well as the particular symptoms that brought him or her into treatment in determining treatment strategies. I believe that eyesight is not an isolated phenomenon but is rooted in our totality. Our being includes our genetic makeup, the food we eat, our work environment and exposure to air borne toxins, as well as our belief systems about ourselves and our world. Each unique individual literally takes in the world through the senses, primarily vision. The way we see the world is, to some degree, a reflection of who we are."

"text": "Can Eyes Get Sunburned? Although exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun or artificial sources, like a tanning bed, can be damaging to your vision, your eyes do not get sunburned the same way your skin does. They will not turn pink or red, or become a darker color. When eyes are sunburned, this usually means that the retina (the layer in the back of the eye that is very sensitive to light) or that the cornea (the colored part of your eye) has been damaged. Have you ever looked directly at the sun? The way you most likely react to the bright light is by squinting your eyes or shielding them with your hand. It definitely isn’t a comfortable feeling! In a sense, the UV rays hurt your eyes so much that you do not want to stare at the sun for too long, which is something that you shouldn’t do anyway. If you damage your retina, you could impair your vision or even become blind. How Light Affects Your Eyesight The term used to describe eyes that have been damaged by natural or artificial UV rays is called “photokeratitis.”"

When a patient has amblyopia, the brain focuses on one eye more than the other, virtually ignoring the \"\"lazy\"\" eye. If that eye is not stimulated properly, the nerve cells responsible for vision do not mature normally. In the United States, amblyopia affects approximately 2 percent of all children. It is the most common cause of partial or total blindness in one eye in the U. S. The term \"\"lazy eye\"\" is misleading because the eye is not lazy. In fact, it is a developmental problem in the nerve connecting the eye to the brain, not a problem in the eye itself. Fast facts on amblyopia Symptoms of lazy eye include blurred vision and poor depth perception. Lazy eye is not a problem with the eye, but the connections to the brain. Amblyopia can be caused by a number of factors, including a muscle imbalance or eye disease. Treatment can be effective and the sooner it begins, the better."

Untreated, glaucoma can lead to blindness (it is, in fact, the second leading cause of worldwide blindness). It’s a condition that must be taken seriously as it is progressive and worsens with age. Even if you haven’t yet been diagnosed with glaucoma, you should take the time to learn more about glaucoma if you are diabetic, have a family history of glaucoma or have pre-existing vision problems. Don’t Take Unnecessary Risks with Your Eyesight!As we age, we expect to have some difficulty with our vision. Many people don’t realize that the problems they are having with their vision are not simply a normal result of aging. Glaucoma can sneak up on people because some of the symptoms are difficult to spot. Even people who have never had a vision problem should begin to have regular eye exams after age 40. Make sure that you tell your eye doctor all the changes you may have noticed in your vision. They can only help if they know there is a problem."

When should I consider eye exercises? An eye specialist may recommend eye exercises for a specific condition or to help improve vision, or you may want to consider a daily workout for your eyes to help with eye fatigue. This can be common with computer screen use. What do the eye exercises involve? Eye exercises can help strengthen eye muscles. Specific exercises will be recommended for certain eye conditions. For most people though, eye exercises are unlikely to help preserve vision. However, some eye experts recommend doing relaxing eye movements, such as taking time to: Look up and down your nose several times Look from side to side several times Look up and down diagonally from top right to bottom left, then top left to bottom right Shut eyes firmly then blink several times."

"text": "Diagnosis Your doctor will review your medical history and conduct a comprehensive eye examination. He or she may perform several tests, including: Measuring intraocular pressure (tonometry)Testing for optic nerve damage Checking for areas of vision loss (visual field test)Measuring corneal thickness (pachymetry)Inspecting the drainage angle (gonioscopy)Treatment The damage caused by glaucoma can't be reversed. But treatment and regular checkups can help slow or prevent vision loss, especially in you catch the disease in its early stage. The goal of glaucoma treatment is to lower pressure in your eye (intraocular pressure). Depending on your situation, your options may include eyedrops, laser treatment or surgery. Eyedrops Glaucoma treatment often starts with prescription eyedrops. These can help decrease eye pressure by improving how fluid drains from your eye or by decreasing the amount of fluid your eye makes. Prescription eyedrop medications include: Prostaglandins. These increase the outflow of the fluid in your eye (aqueous humor) and reduce pressure in your eye. Examples include latanoprost (Xalatan) and bimatoprost (Lumigan)."

The child learns that he/she is not stupid or lazy, but that their vision was holding them back from achieving success in school, with reading and math, and in sports. Body: Body awareness and being able to overcome gravity to stand upright is the foundation for visual and spatial awareness. Developmental optometry enhances a child’s coordination by using visually-guided motor activities, reinforces a child’s midline and bilateral integration of the body and eyes, then develops the ability to cross midline efficiently and effectively. The child develops a more grounded self and can start to explore visually rather than through tactile senses. Mind: A picture is worth a thousand words. A child’s mind that learned to utilize vision can learn non-phonetic spelling of words through visual memory, rather than using spelling rules and verbal/auditory memory. Higher levels of visual processing include the ability to create visual pictures in the mind’s eye; such as seeing a movie play in your mind while reading words in a book, which is important for reading comprehension. Emotions: A child’s emotions become more stable through vision therapy."

By Rob Murphy, with updates by Marilyn Haddrill and Gary Heiting, ODLike This Page? Please Share!Self-help programs of eye exercises that claim to reduce or eliminate your need for glasses and contacts have been around since the 1920s. But before you spend time and money on anything that promises you will be able to \"\"throw away your glasses,\"\" be aware that these programs remain highly controversial and most vision experts contend there is little or no scientific evidence that shows they work. In fact, several popular eye exercise programs have been removed from the marketplace for making apparently false claims about their effectiveness. For example, an Iowa district court in November 2006 halted all sales of See Clearly Method kits that had been marketed for several years by a company called Vision Improvement Technologies as a way to improve vision through eye exercises. Based on allegations that included misleading advertising, the state court ordered the Iowa company to pay $200,000 into a restitution fund to compensate consumers who had paid about $350 for each of thousands of kits. In the lawsuit, Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller accused the company of making \"\"dramatic claims for its product that could not be substantiated. \"\" Steven M. Beresford, Ph D, is founder and CEO of American Vision Institute (AVI) — the entity behind the original See Clearly Method. Beresford told All About Vision.com via e-mail in late 2008: \"\"In our opinion, the Iowa attorney general was paid off by the AOA [American Optometric Association] by means of a bribe or campaign contribution to carry out a proxy attack. \"\""

However, the latest evidence would have it that myopia is in fact, not inherited!Myopia is generally not inherited, but acquired due to bad visual habits. You can reverse the changes of myopia by changing these habits and performing specific eye exercises for myopia. Many people are misinformed about myopia, and eye doctors have an interest in preserving this inaccurate information. Why? Because if myopia were inherited, the only way you could treat it is via surgery, or by wearing glasses for the rest of your life.

"text": "What Is Depth Perception and How Important Is It? The ability of the human eye to see in three dimensions and judge the distance of an object is called depth perception. It takes both eyes working in sync to look at an object and develop an informed idea about an object, like its size or how far away it is. Your two eyes look at the object from different angles and that information is processed in your brain to form a single image. Depth perception is also responsible for forming an idea of the length, width and height of an object. The best part of depth perception is that it takes previous knowledge and uses it to understand the world around us. It usually occurs unconsciously and very quickly. It happens thousands of times a day without you ever realizing that you are using it. Depth Perception is also known as stereopsis. People with normal binocular vision (vision created by two separate eyes working together to form a single image) can perceive the depth and distance of objects."

If you are experiencing unexplained blurry vision, first and foremost, visit your doctor. Blurred vision can stem from numerous medical problems that should be diagnosed and treated before any home remedies are attempted. Commonly, blurred vision is caused by refractive errors, conditions wherein the retina is prevented from receiving the appropriate amount of light in order to generate nerve impulses. Conditions caused by refractive errors are myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism (blurriness at all distances), which can all be corrected with glasses, contact lenses or laser eye surgery. However, there are more sinister medical conditions that may be the culprit. Diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts, cardiovascular disease and detached retina can all cause blurred vision, and are conditions necessitating immediate medical assistance. If serious medical conditions have been ruled out, there are some easy things you can do in your everyday life besides wearing prescription glasses to help reduce your chances of experiencing blurry vision or possibly even correct it. Here are three tips: Make sure you’re getting the appropriate nutrients. Vitamin A, C, E and zinc deficiency can cause blurred vision, since these nutrients are essential to retinal health and are believed to slow the progression of advanced age-related macular degeneration."

If you love to read or if your job entails working on a computer for hours, you already know how irritating and stressful it can be to have your vision blur. Your eye doctor may have already suggested that you have surgery or stronger eye glasses to combat this condition. There is a third option you may want to consider. Eye exercises and eye vitamins can help to strengthen your vision and correct the problems caused by astigmatism. Astigmatism is caused by the front surface of your cornea not curving the way it should: usually one side will be more flat than the other. Light tries to pass through the cornea but because of the incorrect curving, the light does not pass through evenly and this results in the blurry vision you may be experiencing. Believe it or not, eye exercises can help you with your astigmatism. The idea of exercising your eyes may seem strange to you, but if you think about it your eyes have muscles that need exercise to remain strong just like the rest of your body. When you look at it that way it only makes sense that exercising your eyes would be a good idea."

This 'treating fleas on kittens' page features only the safest and most effective of the commercially-available flea control products marketed for use in felines.

Be aware that my site is Australia-based so certain overseas product formulations may not be mentioned even if they are wonderful at treating fleas on kittens. In the interest of providing you with safe, effective flea control, you will not find mention of flea collars, flea rinses, flea soaps, flea powders or flea shampoos on this 'fleas on kittens' page. Whilst certain individual brands may be quite effective at killing fleas on kittens and providing flea prevention (when used correctly), some products may provide incomplete and non-continuous flea control (i.e. they may only kill fleas during the wash, but not in the days afterwards, necessitating frequent, repeated treatment) and some may contain ingredients that are highly toxic to cats and kittens (accidental, incorrect use of a dog flea collar on a cat, for example, could result in the paralysis and death of the cat)."

I am not paid to promote Advantage For Dogs and Cats (the trading name of Imidacloprid flea control in Australia) or any of the other products containing the Imidacloprid insecticide (e.g. Advantix®, Advocate®), however, I can say that I have used the product in practice and have found that it acts well as an effective, monthly flea killer for cats and dogs (the function for which it was designed). Furthermore, in a review of flea control products selected for use in a shelter situation (lots of dogs and cats and loads of fleas coming in the door every day), Advantage for Dogs and Cats was selected by my team as one of the three flea control products favoured for use (nitenpyram and selamectin being the other two), a decision that was based on many factors including: efficacy, safety, speed of action, environmental flea control, animal species treated (ferrets and rabbits also included) and cost-effectiveness. Advantage®, Advantix® and Advocate® are registered trademarks of Bayer AG, Leverkusen, Germany.

"text": "\"Symptoms and Treatment of Feline Fleas\"\"Feline fleas is the most common cat skin problem. Even if your cat is an indoor cat, fleas can be transported into the home by people or other pets. They are skilled at hiding ,making detection even more difficult. The parasites can cause disease and other problems such as anemia (low red blood cell counts, lethargy). Flea products are effective and will kill all fleas on your cat. A cat's home or environment will need to be treated as well to ensure that the problem doesn't reoccur or to avoid human bites. \"\" Feline Fleas Overview Feline fleas is the cause of most cat skin disorders. When a flea attaches itself to your cat, it injects saliva into the skin. This saliva causes an allergic reaction which results in what looks like red scales. The flea also deposits its eggs into the coat of your cat."

"text": "Flea Bombs That Work To Get Rid Of Flea Infestations In Your Home6By: KCJones In: Flea Control Flea bombs have their use Surprised that flea bombs are actually recommended on this site? The problem is, natural methods of flea control and treatment take a while to be effective. While natural methods are always the safest for your pet and family, sometimes other things impact our decision on how to get rid of fleas in the home. For example, if you have a toddler who is always crawling around the ground, you definitely don’t want them getting all bit up. Or if someone is severely ill, you don’t want to complicate matters with these blood sucking parasites living in your home. When To Use Flea Bombs You do not necessarily need to use a flea bomb just because your dog has fleas. While fleas do reproduce in large quantities and fairly quickly, if you get a handle on your dog’s flea problem early on, you will not have to endure a flea infestation. Remember, the best flea bomb is no flea bomb. Fleas on dogs is not the same as a flea infestation. An infestation occurs when you are getting bit by fleas, or when, right after you remove fleas from your dog, they are getting them right back."

From now to the end of May there will be many and eggs hatching and turning into water larvae and then wild flies. Any time someone travels close to a river, the vehicle will get crusty pretty fast. If you run into a major hatch, your car can look like it was carpeted in just a few minutes."

"text": "\"The Flea Lifecycle - A Simplified Description. 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. 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 lifecycle. In particular, animal owners need to know how and where theflea parasite reproduces and also where the ample juvenile forms (egg, larva, pupa) of the parasite's lifecycle hide out and 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). Knowing the flea lifecycle 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 lifecycle 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. This flea life cycle page contains a detailed, but simple-to-understand explanation of thecomplete flea life cycle. It comes complete with a full flea lifecycle diagram for ease of understanding."

"text": "How long can fleas live without host blood? Summary Fleas removed from their host will die of starvation within four days. Young fleas that haven’t fed can live slightly longer without a blood meal, around one week. Pre-emerged adults, remaining inside their cocoons, can enter into a dormant-like state. They can survive for up to 155 days without feeding. Details Adults within Cocoons After pupating, adult fleas can remain quiescent (dormant-like) within their cocoons for an extended period of time. Their metabolic activity is slowed down, allowing them to survive without food. Depending on ambient temperature, cocoon emergence can be delayed as long as five months. However, the quiescence quickly ends once a nearby host is detected. Emerged, Unfed Adults After emerging from their cocoons, adult cat fleas must quickly find a host."

Many health care providers are also beginning to explore the use of these therapies in their practices. For those of us who work in conventional health care settings, this is a new venture. But for many of our patients who have been self-medicating with supplements, it is not. This article reviews how micronutrient requirements are determined and summarizes current recommendations for supplementation and the most pertinent research on the use of key vitamins and minerals in diabetes management. Vitamins and minerals play diverse roles in our bodies. Initially, the nutrition community focused on the roles micronutrients play in preventing deficiency diseases such as scurvy, pellagra, and rickets. As our understanding of nutritional science grew, it became clear that nutrients act in far broader ways. We now know that micronutrients can regulate metabolism and gene expression and influence the development and progression of many chronic diseases. 1 Eventually, we may be able to tailor nutritional recommendations to individuals’ unique genetic makeup, thus increasing the potential benefit and positive outcomes of medical nutrition therapy."

"text": "\"Magnesium Stearate: Does Your Supplement Contain This Potentially Hazardous Ingredient?0June 23, 2012 • 1,033,056 views Edition: English Previous Next Story at-a-glance Many supplement makers add “flow agents” and other fillers to their supplements. One potentially hazardous additive commonly used is magnesium stearate. Magnesium stearate is essentially a chalk-like substance, which prevents the supplements from sticking together and allows the machinery to run smoother and faster, which equates to cost savings during the manufacturing process. Magnesium stearate is not a source of magnesium and has no benefits, but may have a detrimental effect on your immune function as stearic acid has been linked to suppression of T cells. The filler also stimulates your gut to form a biofilm, which can prevent proper absorption of nutrients in your digestive tract By Dr. Mercola It's common knowledge that drugs, vitamins or supplements contain more than just the active ingredient. Something has to encapsulate them―hold them together―in a form that not only makes them usable, but producible by a manufacturer in massive quantities. In the U. S. many supplement makers are adding \"\"flow agents\"\" into their capsules. Their only purpose is to keep ingredients from sticking to equipment during mixing and compression. They make manufacturing faster and easier, but it's not impossible to produce the final product without them. Not using them simply adds to manufacturing costs and final sales price of the product, but there is clearly no reason this ingredient is added for consumer benefit."

Intro Foods RDA The Problem Processed Food Source Beyond Food With magnesium deficiencies on the rise, a common question is, “How do you get enough magnesium in your diet?”Magnesium content in vegetables has seen declines from 25-80%. Yet — while it’s always important to seek out magnesium rich foods — many are unaware of the drastic declines in food-based nutrient sources that have occurred over the last century. These factors, coupled with poor food choices, now cause many health professionals to question the ability to get sufficient magnesium exclusively from food. Magnesium content in vegetables has seen declines from 25-80% since pre-1950 figures, and typical grain refining processes for bread and pasta remove 80-95% of total magnesium. What is happening to our food sources, and how is it shaping the rise of chronic diseases such as hypertension and metabolic disorder? Foods High In Magnesium Magnesium food sources were once commonly consumed, but have diminished in the last century due to industrialized agriculture and changing diets. The average American diet contains barely over 50% of the conservative US recommended daily allowance (RDA) for magnesium 1 2, and roughly three quarters of the population consumes a magnesium insufficient diet. 3 4 5 6The foods magnesium is found in include: Beans and nuts Whole grains such as brown rice and whole wheat bread Green leafy vegetables Given current food preferences, however, it’s easy to see how it’s hard to achieve 100% of RDAs for magnesium.% Daily Value in Magnesium Containing Foods The majority of good magnesium sources contain only about 10% or less of recommended daily amounts, as seen in a list of the magnesium content in common food sources of magnesium. Those that do contain more, such as certain nuts, fish and whole grains, are often eaten in too small quantities by the average person."

"text": "\"Tweet (Natural News) In a perfect world, humans would easily get all the nutrition we need from basic foods. But since the world is far from perfect, dietary supplementation is often necessary to overcome the nutritional shortfalls we face as a result of nutrient-depleted soils, environmental toxins, processed foods, and various other negative factors. Here are eight nutritional supplements you should be taking every day to help level the nutritional playing field and boost your health to where it was meant to be: 1) Vitamin D. In general, humans need far more vitamin D than can be obtained from the normal food supply. And since many people who live in developed countries spend most of their daylight hours indoors -- sunlight exposure is the most abundant natural source of vitamin D -- millions of people are grossly deficient in this important pro-hormone. Because of this, it is crucial to supplement with natural vitamin D3, or use a tanning bed when access to natural sunlight is not an option. The Vitamin D Council has a wealth of information on the role of vitamin D in vibrant health, including information about how much to take to avoid chronic illness. You can learn more here: http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/2) Omega-3s. The modern food supply is severely imbalanced when it comes to fatty acid composition. The ideal ratio of omega-3 fatty acids to omega-6 fatty acids is roughly 1:2, or even less. But in the U. S., the typical diet hovers around a 1:17 ratio, which has created an epidemic of chronic inflammation and disease."

Supplements for Children…Another time when nutrition is incredibly important and sometimes difficult to accomplish is during childhood. I can’t emphasize enough how important a healthy diet is for growing children, but some nutritional gaps can still occur because of soil deficiencies, lack of variety in the diet, or environmental factors. A high quality and varied diet should absolutely be the top priority but there are some supplements that can help fill in any holes in a child’s diet. Just as during pregnancy or nursing, this is a time when one should be very careful about the supplements given and choose only high-quality supplements from verifiable sources after checking with a healthcare practitioner. On top of making sure that kids are consuming a lot of protein from quality sources, an abundance of green veggies and plenty of healthy fats, I often find that children benefit from: Probiotics If they’ve ever been on antibiotics, children can greatly benefit from quality probiotics. Their gut flora is still developing, and supporting gut health during childhood will have much more of an effect than attempting to supplement later in life (though I recommend it then too). We use several different types of probiotics on a rotating basis, and alternate between: Bio Kult probiotics, The kids prefer these and they are small and easy to swallow (or even to chew for really young kids!). The capsules are individually wrapped and don’t have to be refrigerated, which makes them much more convenient. One capsule is typically adequate for children up to 12 years old."

"text": "\"By Dr. Mercola If you eat a balanced, whole-food diet like the one described in my nutrition plan, you’re probably giving your body more-than-adequate amounts of the vitamins and minerals it needs to function. If not (and this applies to the majority of the U. S. population), there’s a good chance your body is lacking in important nutrients. Even if you do eat well, other factors – such as your age and certain health conditions (digestive issues and others) – can impact your body’s ability to absorb the nutrients in your food. Meanwhile, soil quality, storage time, and processing can significantly influence the levels of certain nutrients in your food, such that even healthy produce may not be as nutrient-rich as you may think. Nutrient deficiencies can be sneaky, too. Unless you are seriously deficient for some time, you may notice no symptoms at all, leading you to believe (falsely) that your body is getting all the nutrition you need. More often, however, such deficiencies do cause symptoms, which can range from minor to severe. Unless you know what to look for, however, you’re likely to mistake the signs for something else…5 Signs Your Body May Be Nutrient Deficient If you’ve noticed a mysterious health symptom that has no apparent cause, it’s worth considering whether a nutrient deficiency may be to blame. Q for Equinox recently shared 5 examples to watch for. As Dr. Susan Blum, founder of the Blum Center for Health, said: 1“You may not get a disease but you can end up with impaired functioning, because vitamins are co-factors for all the bio-chemical reactions in the body."

Doctors and scientists do not fully understand the causes and triggers of these primary headaches, but migraines are probably genetically based, and the propensity for this condition is inherited, according to a February 2011 article by Dr. Mark Green, director of the Mount Sinai Center for Headache & Pain Medicine in New York. Various triggers and causes of migraines have been posited. These include vitamin, mineral and nutrient deficiencies, food sensitivities, external stimuli, stress and hormonal fluctuations. Video of the Day Magnesium A magnesium deficiency resulting in low levels of magnesium in the brain causes the brain to become irritated and may trigger migraine attacks. Migraines may be the result of changes in the blood vessels and the blood or oxygen flow in the scalp and brain. These vascular changes are triggered by biochemicals, such as serotonin, which circulates in your blood, and by stress-related muscle contractions. If you have a magnesium deficiency, the serotonin flows too quickly, constricts your blood vessels and releases pain-producing chemicals, according to Dr. Burton M. Altura in a November 2002 at the Magnesium Online Library. Acceptable magnesium levels not only prevent the release of pain-producing substances but may also reduce or stop their effects, says Altura. Calcium Magnesium and calcium interact with each other."

"text": "\"Low Magnesium May Play Key Role in Insulin Resistance and Diabetes2KMay 10, 2014 • 549,210 views Edition: English Previous Next Story at-a-glance Magnesium plays a key role in preventing insulin dysregulation and type 2 diabetes, according to several recent studies—yet 80 percent of Americans are likely magnesium deficient One study found those with the highest magnesium intake reduced their risk of metabolic problems by 71 percent Another study concluded magnesium is highly protective for those at high risk for type 2 diabetes Inadequate magnesium intake creates a vicious cycle of low magnesium levels in your body, elevated insulin and blood glucose levels, and excess loss of magnesium in your urine The best source of magnesium is whole, organic foods, especially dark green leafy vegetables; other good sources include seaweed, dried pumpkin seeds, unsweetened cocoa, flaxseed, almond butter, and whey Of the many forms of magnesium supplements available today, a newer form called magnesium threonate shows particular promise due to its ability to penetrate cell membranes, even those in your brain By Dr. Mercola Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in your body. If you don't have enough of it, your body simply cannot function at its best. Insufficient cellular magnesium levels set the stage for deterioration of proper metabolic function that typically snowballs into more significant health problems. As reported by Green Med Info, 1 researchers have now detected 3,751 magnesium-binding sites on human proteins, reflecting how important this mineral is to a great many biological processes. For example, magnesium plays a role in your body's detoxification processes and therefore is important for minimizing damage from environmental chemicals, heavy metals, and other toxins. Even glutathione, considered by many to be your body's most powerful antioxidant, requires magnesium in order to be produced. Magnesium also plays roles in preventing migraine headaches, cardiovascular disease (including high blood pressure, heart attacks, and strokes), sudden cardiac death, and even reduces death from all causes. This important mineral is required by more than 300 different enzymes in your body, which play important roles in the following biochemical processes, many of which are crucial for proper metabolic function: Creation of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy molecules of your body Proper formation of bones and teeth Relaxation of blood vessels Action of your heart muscle Promotion of proper bowel function Regulation of blood sugar levels Low Magnesium Levels Consistently Found in Those with Elevated Insulin In just the past year, there have been several significant studies about magnesium's role in keeping your metabolism running like a well-oiled clock—specifically in terms of insulin sensitivity, glucose regulation, and protection from type 2 diabetes. Here are just a few: One 2013 study involving pre-diabetics found that most had inadequate magnesium intake. Those with the highest magnesium intake reduced their risk for blood sugar and metabolic problems by a whopping 71 percent."

"text": "6 Essential Mineralsby NORENE ANDERSON Oct. 03, 2017The minerals required by your body for healthy functioning are of two types: trace minerals, or minerals of which the body needs only a small amount, and macrominerals--minerals of which a larger amount is required. A healthy diet of a wide variety of foods can supply all the minerals you need, or a doctor may recommend a mineral supplement for any mineral deficiency. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Calcium Calcium, the most abundant mineral in your body, is required for developing and maintaining strong bones and teeth, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. About 99 percent of the calcium in your body is stored in your bones and teeth. Calcium requires the presence of phosphorus, magnesium and vitamins D and K for adequate absorption. If you have a calcium deficit, it may cause or contribute to conditions such as osteoporosis, hypertension, elevated cholesterol and rickets. Dietary sources rich in calcium include cheese, milk, yogurt, almonds, broccoli, dark leafy greens, oysters and sardines. Many foods, such as cereals, juices, rice milk and soy milk, are fortified with calcium. Chloride Chloride is an electrolyte that works with sodium, potassium and carbon dioxide to maintain the acid-base balance in your body and to keep the proper balance of body fluids, states Medline Plus. Elevated chloride levels may indicate the presence of conditions such as dehydration or respiratory alkalosis."

Check out this list of foods that can help lower blood pressure and reduce your risk of heart disease. High blood pressure, aka hypertension, is the stealthy, sometimes invisible killer of millions of people in the United States and around the world every year. Often, you won't feel a thing for years, even decades, while the damage to your cardiovascular system mounts. Finally, one day, when blasting through a workout or simply relaxing, it happens—a heart attack or stroke that either ends or forever alters your life. This condition affects one in three Americans, and once their blood pressure rises, it's very hard to bring down. For most people, this involves relaxing and sleeping more, exercising regularly, taking medications daily, and perhaps hardest of all, changing eating habits. The cruel twist? Feeling stressed by all of this will only make things worse. 1Normalizing blood pressure is one of the most important things—if not the most important thing—you can do to improve your health and increase your life span."

Needless to say, a scary trip to the hospital and a stomach pumping followed. And I’ve hated taking pills ever since. Having said that, I don’t think we can get every nutrient we need from our diets. Unfortunately, our depleted soils produce foods that aren’t as nutritionally dense as they could be. I also live a busy life, and don’t always get as many vegetables and fat soluble vitamins in each day. So, I take pregnancy supplements, and I’ll list them out below. Now, as you can see, I took a lot of different things but the majority are FOOD-BASED and easy for our bodies to recognize and utilize. This is me using food as medicine :). The food-based doses are much less than synthetic vitamins and minerals."

"text": "\"Stress Supplements Sometimes unplugging, drinking herbal tea and doing yoga aren't enough to relieve stress. As much as we'd like to think that stress is strictly the result of external factors, the truth is that part of the reason you're stressed has to do with problems that you're experiencing internally. When that happens, one of the most common things that people look to is stress supplements. Supplements of any kind are just that, supplements. They're not meant to replace healthy eating and living habits, but to add-on to what you're already doing and fill in the missing gap. For instance, many bodybuilders and weight lifters take protein supplements to get additional protein because they aren't able to get as much as they need from food alone. Stress supplements don't \"\"cure\"\" stress. What they can do however, is help alleviate some of the annoying symptoms that come along with stress like a lack of sleep, chronic headaches, anxiety and tension. Stress supplements aren't going to make you magically fall in love with your stressful job, or fix your financial problems. But they can help level your mood out a bit so that the stress of your job or money doesn't control you."

"text": "Forestry in Iraq BY G. W. CHAPMANTHE natural forests of Iraq are confined almost entirely to the northeast region of the country, in mountains occupied by Kurdish tribes. Here the forests clothe the mountain ranges, while the intervening valleys are mostly given up to cultivation or to grazing. Outside the mountain areas, forests exist only as small patches of river-bank scrub (akhrash) along the Euphrates and Tigris and their main tributaries. The remainder of the country is treeless. The mountain forests have not yet been surveyed or delimited, so that their exact area is unknown. It is estimated that their area is around 20,000 km 2, which is roughly two-thirds of the total mountain area in the Northeast region. About 50 percent of the mountain forests are of good stock and may be regarded as productive forests; the remainder represents degraded scrub with a sparse stock of bushes, or cutover forests not likely to become exploitable within the present generation. The lowland riverine forests have for the most part been surveyed during the course of land settlement and their total area is stated to be 80,538 donums, or a little over 200 km. 2Oak trees form the main species of the mountain forests. Quercus brantii (balut) has the widest range, with Q. infectoria commonly admixed, occurring more frequently on the more favorable sites."

You can see there are three main groups. The most important are Iraq's Shia Arabs (Shiiism is a major branch of Islam), who are the country's majority and live mostly in the south. In the north and west are Sunni Arabs. Baghdad is mixed Sunni and Shia. And in the far north are ethnic Kurds, who are religiously Sunni, but their ethnicity divides them from Arab Sunnis. Iraq's government is dominated by the Shia majority and has underserved Sunni Arabs; the extremist group that has taken over much of the country, ISIS, is Sunni Arab. Meanwhile, the Kurds, who suffered horrifically under Saddam Hussein, have exploited the recent crisis to grant themselves greater autonomy.

The Tigris and Euphrates river basin and its drainage network. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. The two rivers have their sources within 50 miles (80 km) of each other in eastern Turkey and travel southeast through northern Syria and Iraq to the head of the Persian Gulf. The total length of the Euphrates (Sumerian: Buranun; Akkadian: Purattu; biblical: Perath; Arabic: Al-Furāt; Turkish: Fırat) is about 1,740 miles (2,800 km). The Tigris (Sumerian: Idigna; Akkadian: Idiklat; biblical: Hiddekel; Arabic: Dijlah; Turkish: Dicle) is about 1,180 miles (1,900 km) in length. The rivers usually are discussed in three parts: their upper, middle, and lower courses. The upper courses are restricted to the valleys and gorges of eastern Anatolia, through which the rivers descend from their sources, lying 6,000 to 10,000 feet (1,800 to 3,000 metres) above sea level. Their middle courses traverse the uplands of northern Syria and Iraq, at elevations varying from 1,200 feet (370 metres) at the foot of the so-called Kurdish Escarpment to 170 feet (50 metres) where the rivers empty onto the plain of central Iraq."

Environmental damage associated with conflict, including disruption of agriculture and infrastructure, is a cost of war that may hinder a nation’s ability to recover after hostilities have ceased. Since World War II, it is estimated that there have been more than 150 wars. Of these, relatively few have been large scale conflicts between countries; most – about 80 percent – have been civil wars in developing countries. Policymakers and scholars have studied these conflicts closely to try to understand why violence occurs and how future conflicts may be prevented, agreeing that the root of conflicts are complex and that many political, economic, and historical factors together cause states to fail. One ongoing debate concerns the extent to which environmental abundance or scarcity contributes to underlying causes of conflict. Throughout history, countries have battled over natural resources. Between 1950 and 1976, fishing rights contributed to disputes between England and Iceland in three Cod Wars, although the disputes were ultimately settled through diplomatic means. One natural resource that will be a likely source of major conflict is water as many of the world’s major rivers and underground aquifers cross national boundaries. So far, even in politically tense areas of the world such as the Middle East, neighboring countries have generally succeeded in maintaining agreements for the sharing water supplies."

Slaughtering animals was considered a form of entertainment, and people scoured the countryside for bears, Lions, stags and boars to pursue with spears and dogs (Attenborough 1987). As the Roman Empire grew to encompass the entire Mediterranean basin, its citizens traveled throughout the region to hunt and bring back animals to be killed in primitive contests in the coliseums of Rome and other cities. The coliseum games continued for more than 400 years in more than 70 amphitheaters, the largest seating up to 50,000 people on stone benches arranged around a central arena (Attenborough 1987). Roman emperors curried favor with the public by upstaging their predecessors in killing more animals and producing more spectacular displays of slaughter (Morris 1990). Emperor Titus inaugurated the Roman Coliseum by declaring 100 days of celebration, during which enormous numbers of animals were speared by gladiators. On the opening day, 5,000 animals were slaughtered, and over the next two days, 3,000 more were killed (Morris 1990). The caged animals were kept underground in dungeons where they were not fed, and on the day of the festival, they were hauled in their cages onto lifts that brought them into the center of the arena. As the crowd roared with excitement, drums were beaten, trumpets blown, and the terrified animals were set loose (Attenborough 1987)."

[ 1] Since 2010, the lion population in and around Gir Forest National Park has steadily increased. [ 4] In May 2015, the 14th Asiatic Lion Census was conducted over an area of about 20,000 km 2 (7,700 sq mi); the lion population was estimated at 523 individuals, comprising 109 adult males, 201 adult females and 213 cubs. [ 5] [6] In August 2017, the Asiatic Lion Census revealed 650 wild individuals. [ 7] [8]The Asiatic lion was first described by the Austrian zoologist Johann N. Meyer in 1826 under the trinomen Felis leo persicus. [ 9] Its historical range included eastern Turkey, Iran, Mesopotamia, and from east of the Indus River to Bengal and Narmada River in Central India. [ 10] [11]The lion is one of five pantherine cats inhabiting India, along with the Bengal tiger, Indian leopard, snow leopard and clouded leopard.

What I initially found most distressing is that it appeared that Bush, like a middle ages alchemist, fabricated a sudden immanent need for a war against Iraq. In July there was no appreciable mention of Iraq in any of the news. By September the headline in all US newspapers was Bush ranting that Iraq with it’s weapons of mass destruction is suddenly an immediate threat to our national security. Therefore, I turned to writing to clarify my thoughts on the matter. Here they are. With the UN and virtually all of our allies except Britain disagreeing, with even our own intelligence sources disagreeing and Bush’s rhetoric about the need to act unilaterally, it was easy - too easy - to align with the rapidly developing protest against this fabricated need to wage war with Iraq and assume that Bush and his administration were a collection of war mongering madmen. The very day that I was e-mailing Senator Graham to vote against the resolution giving Bush a free hand to go to war with Iraq, Graham was submitting an amendment to the resolution to allow Bush to not only go after Iraq, but also Iran, Lybia, North Korea, and a few other “evil axis” states. What’s going on here? Can it really be that Bush, his cabinet and all these elected officials in congress are simply crazy or is that too simple an answer?"

Brown coal - also known as lignite - makes up around a quarter of Germany's power production. Its persistence is controversial and a contradiction. As Germany phases out nuclear energy in favor of solar, wind and other renewables, coal is touted by some as a necessary temporary backup for fluctuating green energy, even as the country prepares to host the COP23 climate conference, set to take place in November in the nearby city of Bonn.

Known for its silky, fluffy feathers, the Silkie Chicken comes in full-sized and bantam varieties and is among the most docile of chicken breeds. Interesting to look at, famously friendly, and soft to the touch, this breed makes a great pet as well as a decent layer. History of the Silkie Chicken While no one knows exactly when or how this breed was developed, the Silkie Chicken has been around for centuries. Most notably, it was mentioned in Marco Polo’s travel journals in the 13th century. The Silk Route brought the breed out of Asia and into the west and with them came a lot of myths and stories about this strange looking bird. For a time, Dutch breeders claimed that the Silkie Chicken was a cross between rabbits and chickens. There was, of course, no truth to these claims. The American Standard of Perfection accepted the breed in 1874 and by the 21st century the breed was a popular ornamental chicken breed for backyard farmers. Breed Characteristics A small chicken, even a full size male Silkie Chicken weighs only 4 lbs."

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

Sometimes it’s the texture of a mushroom that strikes you most, other times it’s texture and flavor working in an eerily gorgeous kind of symbiosis. We asked Ian Garrone, founder of Far West Fungi in San Francisco, to guide us through the most common (and delicious) culinary specimens. Garrone comes from a family of mushroom hunters and growers, and his shop in the San Francisco Ferry Building overflows with familiar and exotic species, from the beige buttonlike cremini to the bright orange lobster mushroom, curled like a fist. And please note: This is a buying guide, not a foraging guide. Leave foraging to the experts, and leave eating and enjoying these amazing varieties to the rest of us. Shiitake The shiitake is native to East Asia, but its popularity has led to its cultivation worldwide. It is a good source of vitamin D, niacin, and potassium. Shiitakes are admired for their bold, savory, garlic flavor, and are so fleshy in texture that some people find them too chewy. “ Cook for over 10 minutes,” recommends Garrone, and they’ll soften up."

In fact, it's one of the worst indicators you can use, as comb size varies by breed and even individual. For instance, one of my hens has a larger comb than any of her sisters of the same breed, and a larger comb than any of my roosters, too. When sexing most juveniles, the best, most fail-safe method is to look at the saddle feathers in front of the tail when the bird is about 3 months old. By that age, cockerels will have long and pointy saddle feathers, while a hen's will be rounded. Take a look at this rooster's saddle feathers. See how long and skinny and pointy they are? Here's a close up of the feathers in a rooster's saddle. They are golden in this photo: Those saddle feathers start coming in at about 3 months. ("

Amongst his many other exploits, Marco Polo is believed to have introduced this bird to the western world sometime between 1254 and 1324. Appearance It only takes one look at this chicken to see how it got its name. This soft, hairy-feathered fowl looks unlike most other poultry. The Silkie’s feathers lack barbs which would otherwise hold the strands together, thus the individual strands sit free of each other. Each of these strands are approximately 50mm to 75mm long and give the bird a soft and, well, silky appearance. The Chinese Silkie is available in two types, bearded and non-bearded, and differences are also apparent between males (cocks) and females (hens). Non-bearded silkies have large wattles (a fleshy appendage) about 25mm-40mm long below the beak. However the hen’s wattles are much smaller than the cock’s."

I’ve included the smallest animals in the world.1) World Smallest Horse World Smallest Horse Smallest Horse The 5 year old horse, known as “Thumbelina” weighed 60 lbs and 17 inches tall, and recognized as the world’s smallest horse. Smallest Horse Einstein, World Smallest horse Einstein, a pinto stallion bred, weighed 2.7 kilograms and 35 centimeters tall from New Hampshire, United States. Einstein could possibly break Thumbelina’s record which is 43 centimeters tall.2) World Smallest Cattle / Cow World’s Smallest Vechur Cattle The 16 year-old Vechur cattle breed from India , a rare breed of cattle, have the average height from 31 – 35 inches (81 -91 cm) tall. The 16 year-old pygmy Vechur cattle bred is shown here with a 6 year-old HF cross-breed cattle. Swallow the World Smallest Cow Swallow is a Dexter-bred cow from Halifax, United Kingdom, measuring 33.5 inches (85 cm), is the world’s smallest cow.3) Smallest Goat Dark Gary Agouti Pygmy Goat Pygmy Goat Pygmy Goat Pygmy goats originated from Cameroon Valley, West Africa, and a small domestic breed of goat, and are usually raised as backyard pets, rather than dairy product or goat meat purposes. Doe or female goat weigh 23 to 34 kg (51 to 75 lb), while the bucks or male goat 27 to 39kg (60 to 86 lb). Their heights range from 16 to 23 inches (41 to 58cm) tall. Enchanted Hill Nigerian Dwarf goat The Nigerian Dwarf goat is the smallest size in dairy goat breed of West Africa. Nigerian dwarf goat are now becoming popular as domestic pets due to easy maintenance and easy to train."

Salmon Faverolles are classified as a heavy breed and have beards, feathered feet, and five toes per foot, rather than the usual four. Faverolles are well adapted both to confinement or free range. When battery cages began to be used at the very beginning of the twentieth-century, Salmon Faverolle tolerated the close confinement better than the Houdan breed. Faverolles was the primary breed that produced eggs for the Paris market during the early part of the century. Although primarily kept today as an ornamental and exhibition breed, it remains an excellent layer, as well as a fine meat chicken. The most common color of the Salmon Faverolle is Salmon. The plumage of salmon females is mainly brown and creamy white."

"text": "The lifespan of a chicken is normally between 5 to 7 years. ( Photos.com/Photos.com/Getty Images)A chicken is a type of winged domestic bird that cannot fly. With over 150 different breeds, they outnumber every other kind of bird in the world, and have proven to be tremendously useful to humans, primarily as a food source. The average lifespan of a chicken varies, usually between 5 to 7 years -- though there have been cases of chickens that have greatly exceeded this, even beyond 20 years. Although there is no truly reliable way to tell a chicken's exact age, there are some indicators which can give you a rough idea. Check the chicken's lower legs, called their shanks. Older birds tend to have larger and rougher shanks than younger ones. A younger chicken's shanks are smooth. Examine the length of the spurs, if they are still present. Smaller spurs will usually indicate a male under 1 year of age, unless they have been removed, in which case they would also be small."

F) and ‘Bantam’. Not all breeds of large fowl can be found in bantam size and vice-versa. Where there is a bantam size only, these are called ‘True Bantams’. For many large breeds, bantams are created afterwards as a miniature version by selecting the smallest birds repeatedly for many generations, sometimes crossing out to other small bantams in the process to reduce their size. As well as Large Fowl and Bantam sizes, there is another distinction made with ‘Hard’ and ‘Soft’ Feather breeds. Generally, hard feather breeds are ‘Game’ varieties, who historically were cock fighting birds. These have a tighter feathering than the soft feather chicken breeds, who are more fluffy."

"text": "Caring for Broody Hens: Facilitating Egg-hatching Print Page A s much as I enjoy pulling up a chair and watching chicks hatch from eggs in an incubator in my kitchen, there is no question that allowing a hen to hatch eggs is significantly easier than monitoring and managing the process in an electric box. Mother hens handle all of the hatching details from humidity to temperature and egg-turning to raising the chicks. Managing mother hens can be done the easy way…or the hard way. In this article, I’ll discuss the hard way and the easy way to care for broody chickens to facilitate egg-hatching, but first, let’s discuss broody basics. WHAT IS A BROODY HEN? A hen that is committed to hatching chicks is known as a broody. The state of being broody is controlled by instinct, hormones and lighting conditions. Left to her own devices, a broody will lay a clutch of eggs, then stop egg-laying and sit on them for 21 days (more or less) until they hatch. Freida, my White Silkie. Not every hen will become broody in her lifetime, but those that do are fiercely protective of their nests."

"text": "\"Categories: All > All About Eggs All Q: Which bantam breeds should I choose if I want them for eggs? A: Bantam eggs in general are quite small by comparison to what you see in the grocery store. That makes sense! Smaller birds lay smaller eggs. Below you see two cochins, one a bantam and the other a regular-sized large fowl cochin. Of course the bantam cochins will lay smaller eggs. ( They have smaller chicks, too!) Regardless, bantam chicken eggs taste the same as the eggs of larger chickens, and certainly if your birds have access to pasture, bantam or large fowl, the eggs will taste MUCH better than what you can get in a grocery store. However, some bantams lay more eggs, and larger eggs, than others. Quail Antwerp eggs are teeny, tiny--and they don't lay very well!"

Most of us know that awe-inspiring feeling standing watching a black night sky scattered with stars light up in rainbow colors during a fireworks display, yet this does not compare to Planet Earth’s rendition of magical light called Aurora. These unbelievably stunning displays can ordinarily be seen at the Northern and Southern Poles and are considered one of the natural wonders of the world. Over the Arctic they are called Aurora Borealis and over the Antarctic it is called Aurora Australis. Contact encounters between gaseous particles in the atmosphere of the Earth and charged particles released from the atmosphere of the Sun result in the display of colors in the sky called the Northern Lights. The varying colors are as a result of specific types of gas particles that are bumping into each other. The scientific name for the Northern Lights are the Aurora Borealis. The aurora effect starts on the surface of the sun with solar activity, injecting a cloud of gas, scientifically known as a coronal mass ejection (CME)."

Most of the carbon (the basis of life) and particulate matter (crucial building blocks of solar systems like ours) in the universe is manufactured and dispersed by red giant stars. When the red giant star has ejected all of its outer layers, the ultraviolet radiation from the exposed hot stellar core makes the surrounding cloud of matter created during the red giant phase glow: the object becomes a planetary nebula. A long-standing puzzle is how planetary nebulae acquire their complex shapes and symmetries, since red giants and the gas/dust clouds surrounding them are mostly round. Hubble's ability to see very fine structural details (usually blurred beyond recognition in ground-based images) enables us to look for clues to this puzzle. -- Credit: NASAThe Glowing Pool Nebula Credit: Hubble Heritage Team (STSc I/AURA/NASA) NGC 3132 is a striking example of a planetary nebula. This expanding cloud of gas, surrounding a dying star, is known to amateur astronomers in the southern hemisphere as the \"\"Eight-Burst\"\" or the \"\"Southern Ring\"\" Nebula. The name \"\"planetary nebula\"\" refers only to the round shape that many of these objects show when examined through a small visual telescope. In reality, these nebulae have little or nothing to do with planets, but are instead huge shells of gas ejected by stars as they near the ends of their lifetimes. NGC 3132 is nearly half a light year in diameter, and at a distance of about 2000 light years is one of the nearer known planetary nebulae."

This can put projects and people at risk by revealing the presence of submarines, or even Navy SEALs swimming around covertly. Dark Freshwater Most scientists point to two reasons why so few freshwater organisms exhibit bioluminescence. First, freshwater habitats have not been around as long as marine habitats—evolution is a slow process and freshwater habitats do not yet have the biodiversity of oceans. Second, freshwater species wouldn't really benefit from bioluminescence. Freshwater habitats are often murkier, and deepwater species use other adaptations (such as a catfish's sensitive \"\"whiskers\"\") to hunt and defend in the environment. Bioluminescence is light produced by a chemical reaction within a living organism.

Everybody learns in school that comets are chunks of ice and dust and rocks that get close to the Sun in their orbits. Solar heating and the action of the solar wind can change the appearance of a comet drastically, which is why they are so fascinating to observe. However, planetary scientists also treasure comets because they represent a fascinating part of our solar system's origin and evolution. They date back to the earliest epochs the history of the Sun and planets and thus contain some of the oldest materials in the solar system. Comets in History Historically, comets have been referred to as \"\"dirty snowballs\"\" since they were thought to simply be large chunks of ice mixed with dust and rock particles."

"text": "The Blue Glow Of Quinine By Steve Fentress Posted August 9, 2011Try this experiment at home and learn why quinine has a blue glow!Loading... 0:00Photo: Paul Garland (Flickr)Under black light, water and tonic water look very different!Try This Experiment…Get two similar colorless, clean drinking glasses or jars. Fill one with ordinary tap water and the other with tonic water. Set both containers on a piece of dark cloth in direct sunlight. Look down through both liquids. In the tonic water you will see a faint blue glow against the dark background. In comparison, ordinary clean tap water does not glow. What Is Quinine? That blue glow comes from quinine, the substance that gives tonic water its bitter taste, shining by the process of fluorescence. A material is said to be fluorescent if it emits light of one color whenever it is exposed to light of some other color from another source. In this particular case you are exposing quinine to ultraviolet light, the invisible component of sunlight that produces sun tans and sunburns."

This light can be in a range of color visible to the eye (such as the LED on a PC monitor which indicates that power is on), or can be invisible to the naked eye, such as infrared LEDs on a camera or remote control. IR: Infrared Light which is invisible to the naked eye, with a wavelength longer than that of red light. Infrared light is used for night vision LEDs on cameras and accessories, and in remote controls. LUX: A unit measurement of the intensity of light. For example, the light of a full moon is about 0.1 Lux, while bright sunlight is about 100,000 Lux. Cameras rated for 0.0 Lux are considered to be night vision cameras. Can I see an image in pitch-black conditions? Yes."

Sometimes though, the Moon and stars are joined by other objects. If you looked into the sky on an evening early in 1997, you may have been able to see what looked like a star which had been smudged. In fact, this smudged star was a comet, one of the brightest comets visible from Earth for many years. It was named Comet Hale-Bopp and remained visible from Earth for 19 months, being at its brightest and clearest during the first half of 1997. Comets are balls of ice, dust and gas which travel in elliptical orbits around the Sun. At their most distant, they are invisible. However, when they get closer to the Sun, they begin glowing, forming a coma and tails as dust and gas is burnt off the comet by the Sun's heat. It is only when they have begun glowing that they become visible from Earth with telescopes."

Now after sometime, bring them inside and switch off the lights and close the windows and doors. In the darkness you'll see them start glowing. This does not mean that it was not giving out light when kept in the sun. It was due to the sun's glare that we were not able to see it.

"text": "UV, or ultraviolet, light is an invisible form of electromagnetic radiation that has a shorter wavelength than the light humans can see. It carries more energy than visible light and can sometimes break bonds between atoms and molecules, altering the chemistry of materials exposed to it. UV light can also cause some substances to emit visible light, a phenomenon known as fluorescence. This form of light — which is present in sunlight — can be beneficial to health, as it stimulates the production of vitamin D and can kill harmful microorganisms, but excessive exposure can cause sunburn and increase the risk of skin cancer. UV light has many uses, including disinfection, fluorescent light bulbs, and in astronomy. The term “ultraviolet” means “beyond violet.” In the visible part of the spectrum, wavelength decreases — and the energy of the electromagnetic waves increases — from red through orange, yellow, green, blue and violet, so UV light has a shorter wavelength, and more energy, than violet light. Wavelengths are measured in nanometers (nm), or billionths of a meter, and ultraviolet wavelengths range between 10nm and 400nm. It can be classified as UV-A, UV-B or UV-C, in order of decreasing wavelength. An alternative classification, used in astronomy, is “near,” “middle,” “far,” and “extreme."

"text": "Objective: To distinguish the growth characteristics of microorganisms in various differential, selective and enriched media. Principle: Much of the study of microorganisms depends on its ability to grow in the laboratory, and this is possible only if suitable culture media are available for the growth of microorganism. A culture medium is defined as a solid or liquid preparation used for the growth, transport, and storage of microorganisms. The effective culture medium must contain all the nutrients required for the growth of the microorganism. Specialized media are widely employed for the isolation and identification of microorganisms, testing the antibiotic sensitivities, analysis of water and food, industrial microbiology, and other activities. Although all microorganisms need sources of energy, nitrogen, carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, and various minerals, the exact composition of a satisfactory medium will rely on the species one is trying to identify and cultivate because nutritional requirements vary so greatly among the microorganisms. Knowledge of microorganism’s normal habitat is often useful in selecting a suitable culture medium because its nutrient requirements reflect its natural surroundings. A medium is used to select and growing specific microorganisms or to help identifying a particular species. In these cases, the function of the medium also depends on its composition. In addition to nutrients necessary for the growth of all bacteria, special-purpose media contain one or more chemical compounds that are essential for their functional specificity."

"text": "September 30, 2015 by Sagar Aryal Mac Conkey Agar- Composition, Principle, Uses, Preparation and Colony Morphology 4.45 / 5 ( 339 )Advertisement Mac Conkey Agar- Composition, Principle, Uses, Preparation and Colony Morphology Mac Conkey agar (MAC) was the first solid differential media to be formulated which was developed at 20th century by Alfred Theodore Mac Conkey. Mac Conkey agar is a selective and differential media used for the isolation and differentiation of non-fastidious gram-negative rods, particularly members of the family Enterobacteriaceae and the genus Pseudomonas. Composition of Mac Conkey Agar Ingredients Amount Peptone (Pancreatic digest of gelatin)17 gm Proteose peptone (meat and casein)3 gm Lactose monohydrate 10 gm Bile salts 1.5 gm Sodium chloride 5 gm Neutral red 0.03 gm Crystal Violet 0.001 g Agar 13.5 gm Distilled Water Add to make 1 Liter Final p H 7.1 +/- 0.2 at 25 degrees C. Principle of Mac Conkey Agar Mac Conkey agar is used for the isolation of gram-negative enteric bacteria and the differentiation of lactose fermenting from lactose non-fermenting gram-negative bacteria. Pancreatic digest of gelatin and peptones (meat and casein) provide the essential nutrients, vitamins and nitrogenous factors required for growth of microorganisms. Lactose monohydrate is the fermentable source of carbohydrate. The selective action of this medium is attributed to crystal violet and bile salts, which are inhibitory to most species of gram-positive bacteria. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic balance in the medium. Neutral red is a p H indicator that turns red at a p H below 6.8 and is colorless at any p H greater than 6.8. Agar is the solidifying agent. Uses of Mac Conkey Agar Mac Conkey agar is used for the isolation of gram-negative enteric bacteria."

"text": "A number of techniques can be used for the identification of specific species and subspecies of Enterobacteriaceae. Speciation is important because it provides data regarding patterns of susceptibility to antimicrobial agents and changes that occur over a period of time. It is also essential for epidemiological studies such as determination of nosocomial infections and their spread. In an effort to simplify the speciation of the Enterobacteriaceae and reduce the amount of prepared media and incubation space needed by the clinical lab, a number of self-contained multi-test systems have been commercially marketed. Some of these multi-test systems have been combined with a computer-prepared manual to provide identification based on the overall probability of occurrence for each of the biochemical reactions. In this way, a large number of biochemical tests can economically be performed in a short period of time, and the results can be accurately interpreted with relative ease and assurance. The Entero Pluri- Test (see Fig. 22) is a self-contained, compartmented plastic tube containing 12 different agars (enabling the performance of a total of 15 standard biochemical tests) and an enclosed inoculating wire. After inoculation and incubation, the resulting combination of reactions, together with a Computer Coding and Identification System (CCIS), allows for easy identification. The various biochemical reactions of the Entero Pluri- Test and their correct interpretation are discussed below."

However, a child's bones are also subject to a unique injury called a growth plate fracture. Approximately 15% to 30% of all childhood fractures are growth plate fractures. These often require immediate attention because the long-term consequences may include limbs that are crooked or of unequal length. Although growth plate injuries are common, serious problems are rare. Growth deformity occurs in 1% to 10% of all growth plate injuries. Appropriate evaluation by an orthopaedic surgeon experienced in orthopaedic trauma will determine the nature of the growth plate injury, will provide counseling about treatment options, and will allow for longer term follow up to assess the outcome of the injuries. What is a growth plate? The growth plate (physis) is an area of developing tissue near the ends of long bones, between the widened part of the shaft of the bone (the metaphysis) and the end of the bone (the epiphysis)."

Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The horny epidermal derivative covering the dorsal aspect of the terminal phalanx of each finger and toe. The replacement of sharp claws with flattened nails in primates is considered part of the evolutionary development of a hand able to grasp objects. The nails start to develop in the fetus by the end of the third month, and are formed from the same epidermal tissue as the skin. They reach the ends of the fingers and toes about a month before birth. The mature nail is a plate of the protein keratin which is also present in hair and skin. The pale ‘half-moon’ at the base — often exposed above the nail-fold only on the thumbs and big toes — marks the area of the bed of the nail where its substance is formed and from which it grows — the germinal matrix. The rest of the nail bed provides a surface for the growing nail to slide over as it advances at the rate of about 0.1 mm/day. The germinal cells continually divide to replace those which generate, and disappear into the non-cellular substance of the nail."

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, fingernails grow an average 2 or 3 millimeters per month, while toenails grow about 1 millimeter per month. Many factors influence how fast individual nails may grow. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Age The speed of nail growth changes throughout a person's lifetime. Infant nails grow more slowly than adult nails, but children's nails grow more quickly than those of adults. Nails tend to grow the fastest between the ages of 10 and 14. After that, growth begins to slow, and continues to slow with age. Location Toenails grow more slowly than fingernails, and the growth rate of each fingernail also differs."

An antimicrobial is a substance that kills or inhibits the growth of micro-organisms such as bacteria, fungi, or protozoan's, as well as destroying viruses. Copper is also an antibacterial as well as an antifungal agent and used in the treatment of skin disease and wounds today as it was thousands of years ago. Of course thousands of years ago they didn't know all of this; they simply used it because it helped. Copper is also used in UD's for birth control because of its factors. Copper is a trace element needed for healthy growth and function of bones, collagen, the brain, the heart, the skin and immune system."

The bone has been damaged such that it is no longer intact. None of these terms indicate the severity of the bone damage. Bones are the body's storage place for calcium. Under hormone control, calcium content of bone is constantly increasing or decreasing. Bones break when they cannot withstand a force or trauma applied to them. Sometimes the bones are so weak that they cannot withstand the force of gravity, such as compression fractures of the back in the elderly. Fracture descriptions help explain how the breakage appears. For example, these descriptions may tell whether or not the fragments are aligned (displaced fracture) and whether or not the skin overlying the injury is damaged ( compound fracture )."

The fingers and toes on a baby are so very much smaller than ours yet they become quite huge over time. How do bones get so much bigger over time? Bones grow longer over time but they also get thicker. There are mechanism that allow for bones to grow in both length and width. Growth in length To make a bone longer just add bone tissue to the ends. The problem is, we can't add directly to the end of a bone, it has to move at the joints. If tissue is added at the end of the bone the skeleton could not move properly. It's like closing both lanes on an interstate until the bridge is repaired. For this to work, bone tissue must be added below the joint somewhere along the length of the bone."

Getty The growth plate (physis) is the area of developing tissue near the end of the long bones in children. Each long bone has at least one growth plates at each end. When growth is complete during adolescence, the growth plates are replaced by solid bone. These growth plate injuries occur in children and adolescents. The growth plate is the weakest area of the growing skeleton so a serious injury to a joint is more likely to damage a growth plate than the ligaments around it. An injury that would cause a sprain in an adult can be a potentially serious growth plate injury in a young child. Most injuries to the growth plate are fractures. They are twice as common in boys. Growth plate fractures occur most often in the long bones of the fingers (phalanges), then the outer bone of the forearm (radius) at the wrist."

BACKGROUND- Prior Art-Introduction The diagnosis of infectious diseases has traditionally relied upon microbiological culture methods to identify the organism responsible for the infection and then determine the appropriate antimicrobial treatment. These methods continue to be important for analysis, despite recent advances in molecular and immunological diagnostics. While the development of rapid and automated methods has served to increase the efficiency of microbiological analysis, traditional quantitative culture methods remain critical for definitive diagnosis of infections. ( Baron & Finegold, Diagnostic Microbiology, 8 th ed. C. V. Mosby, [1990], p 253. These traditional methods are even more valuable in countries unable to afford newer methods including automated methods. In addition, many areas of the world are devoid of any adequate clinical microbiology facility. Throughout history, humanity has fallen victim to pandemics of cholera, plague, influenza, typhoid, tuberculosis and other infectious maladies so widespread, that few people made it into middle age. As recently as the 19 th century, the average life span in Europe and North America was around 50 years."

They are horn-like envelopes covering the dorsal aspect of terminal phalanges of fingers and toes of human body. Parts of a nail: Each nail has the following parts. Root: Root is the proximal hidden part which is buried into the nail groove and is overlapped by the nail fold of the skin. Free border: Free border is the distal part free from the skin. Body: Body is the exposed part of the nail which is adherent to the underlying skin. The proximal part of the body presents a white opaque crescent called lunule. Each lateral border of the nail body is overlapped by a fold of a skin, termed the nail wall. The skin (germinative zone + corium) beneath the root and body of the nail is called nail bed. The germinative zone of the nail bed beneath the root and lunule is thick and proliferative (germinal matrix), and is responsible for the growth of the nail."

It can be inherited from a parent who has Apert, or may be a fresh mutation. It occurs in approximately 1 per 160,000 to 200,000 live births. Apert syndrome is primarily characterized by specific malformations of the skull, midface, hands, and feet. The skull is prematurely fused and unable to grow normally; the midface (that area of the face from the middle of the eye socket to the upper jaw) appears retruded or sunken; and the fingers and toes are fused together in varying degrees."

Form follows function in the hand; therefore, any injury to the underlying structures of the hand carries the potential for serious handicap. To reduce this risk, even the smallest hand injuries require proper medical evaluation. The goal with injuries to the hand is a rapid and accurate initial evaluation and treatment. In other words, once an injury occurs, the doctor strives to begin medical treatment quickly so the short- and long-term effects on the hand can be minimized. The hand consists of 27 bones (including the 8 bones of the wrist). When the other associated structures (nerves, arteries, veins, muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint cartilage, and fingernails) are considered, the potential for a variety of injuries exists when trauma involves the hand. The most common cause of the injuries was blunt trauma, followed by injury from a sharp object. Hand Injury Causes Hand injuries can be divided into six general categories:lacerations (cuts),fractures and dislocations,soft tissue injuries and amputations,infections,burns, andhigh pressure injuries (grease and paint guns). Other common hand injuries includenail injuries,finger injuries,finger infection,wrist injuries, andbroken hand."

A wire which you have heated in the flame of a candle, bunsen burner, or gas kitchen stove flame, or dipped in rubbing alcohol will work nicely. Sterile sticks are sometimes more convenient. If you smear the bacteria very thinly on a sterile potato slice or petri dish of an agar medium, you can cause a single bacterium to grow into a colony after a day or two and that is a pure culture of a single strain of bacteria. If you the restreak that colony, you can make sure it is pure (grew from on bacterium)."

"text": "Internal jugular vein The internal jugular vein is a major blood vessel that drains blood from important body organs and parts, such as the brain, face, and neck. Anatomically, there are two of these veins that lie along each side of the neck. They each rest beside the thyroid gland at the center of the neck, just above the collarbone and near the trachea, or windpipe. These veins functions to carry oxygen-depleted blood from the brain, face, and neck, and transport it to the heart through the superior vena cava. Generally, the left vein is somewhat smaller and thinner than the right, but both contain valves that assist with blood transport. The vein appears dilated (wider) at two points, and these distinct parts are called the superior bulb and the inferior bulb. The vein plays an important role in assessing jugular vein pressure, especially among people with heart disorders. Measurements of jugular vein pressure are used to evaluate central venous pressure, which indicates how much blood is returning to the heart and how well the heart is pumping blood back into the arteries. Because this vein is also larger than most others, it is commonly used as an entry point to place venous lines, which are tubes (catheters) that are used to carry medicine or nutrients into the body. Because of its superficial location (near the outside of the body), the internal jugular vein is quite susceptible to injury, trauma, or damage."

VEINS ASSOCIATED WITH THE HEAD AND NECK STRUCTUREDrawing down the lateral side of the neck, these veins are superficial to the sternocleidomastoid muscle and then alternatively run deep into the platysma muscle. They then follow the system to the left and right subclavian veins which are positioned right beneath the clavicle. The internal jugular veins are responsible for the drainage of the brain and meninges, as well as the deeper regions of the facial area and the neck. These veins run deeper into the interior portions of the body and are larger than the external jugular veins. A variety of cranial venous sinuses yield the internal jugular veins, which can be located in between the two layers of dura mater. The venous sinuses are responsible for the reception of blood from the cerebral, cerebellar, ophthalmic, and meningeal veins. Tucked away in the inferior region of the neck, the internal jugular vein runs down alongside the common carotid artery and the vagus nerve .

In the treatment of head and neck cancer, three areas must be addressed: the primary site, the neck, and sites of distant metastasis. Of these, disease in the neck is the least straightforward. Even when there is no clinical or radiologic evidence of disease in the neck, 20-30% of patients may still harbor occult metastasis. In particular, cancers of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, and supraglottis are the most likely sites to have neck disease at presentation. Neck disease reduces survival rates for head and neck cancers by half. Therefore, control of the neck is of utmost importance in the successful management of these cancers. There are two major modalities used to address the neck: surgical cervical lymphadenectomy with or without postoperative radiation therapy or radiation therapy in conjunction with chemotherapy. Surgery provides precise pathologic staging of the neck and can also provide definitive treatment."

The jugular venous pressure ( JVP, sometimes referred to as jugular venous pulse) is the indirectly observed pressure over the venous system via visualization of the internal jugular vein. It can be useful in the differentiation of different forms of heart and lung disease. Classically three upward deflections and two downward deflections have been described. The upward deflections are the \"\"a\"\" (atrial contraction), \"\"c\"\" (ventricular contraction and resulting bulging of tricuspid into the right atrium during isovolumetric systole) and \"\"v\"\" = venous filling The downward deflections of the wave are the \"\"x\"\" (the atrium relaxes and the tricuspid valve moves downward) and the \"\"y\"\" descent (filling of ventricle after tricuspid opening).

"text": "\"Circulatory Pathways Virtually every cell, tissue, organ, and system in the body is impacted by the circulatory system. This includes the generalized and more specialized functions of transport of materials, capillary exchange, maintaining health by transporting white blood cells and various immunoglobulins (antibodies), hemostasis, regulation of body temperature, and helping to maintain acid-base balance. In addition to these shared functions, many systems enjoy a unique relationship with the circulatory system. [ link] summarizes these relationships. As you learn about the vessels of the systemic and pulmonary circuits, notice that many arteries and veins share the same names, parallel one another throughout the body, and are very similar on the right and left sides of the body. These pairs of vessels will be traced through only one side of the body. Where differences occur in branching patterns or when vessels are singular, this will be indicated. For example, you will find a pair of femoral arteries and a pair of femoral veins, with one vessel on each side of the body. In contrast, some vessels closer to the midline of the body, such as the aorta, are unique. Moreover, some superficial veins, such as the great saphenous vein in the femoral region, have no arterial counterpart."

"text": "Chapter 23 Hanging and Strangulation“We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”– Ben Franklin Summary Hanging and strangulation are effective methods of suicide. Both can be carried out by people with limited physical abilities. Hanging doesn’t require complete suspension. Death occurs within about 5-10 minutes after cutoff of oxygen or blockage of blood flow to the brain (anoxia); however convulsions are common and the noise may attract attention. Pain can be minimized by protecting and padding the front of the neck. Since finding the body will probably be traumatic, care should be given to choosing a location. These are highly lethal methods and cannot be done safely as a suicidal gesture. Lethal intent: High Mortality: High, around 80%Permanent injuries in survivors: Moderately infrequent What are the pros and cons of hanging as a means of suicide? Pros: Quick unconsciousness Fairly quick death Easily accomplished with materials found around the house Can, if necessary, be done without leaving bed Cons: Possibility of brain damage if interrupted Sometimes a gruesome cadaver, which may be upsetting for whoever discovers the body Introduction Suspension hanging is often lumped (and confused) with judicial-type (“drop”) hanging, suffocation, strangulation, and even choking."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Biology What side of your own neck is jugular vein?1 following 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: There are two sets of jugular veins: external and internal. The internal jugular vein is formed by the anastomosis of blood from the sigmoid sinus of the dura mater and the common facial vein. The internal jugular runs with the common carotid artery and vagus nerve inside the carotid sheath. It provides venous drainage for the contents of the skull. The external jugular runs superficially to sternocleidomastoid. The left and right external jugular veins drain into the subclavian veins. The internal jugular veins join with the subclavian veins more medially to form the brachiocephalic veins. Finally, the left and right brachiocephalic veins join to form the superior vena cava, which delivers deoxygenated blood to the right atrium of the heart.eli · 7 years ago0 2 Comment For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/axvq6 Bringing a knife to a bear fight - is like bringing a knife to a machine gun fight.

Other names commonly used for paraganglioma include chemodectoma, glomus tympanicum, and glomus jugulare tumors. Tumors are classified according to whether they are benign or malignant. Benign tumors, in general, grow slowly and do not spread throughout the body, whereas malignant tumors have a faster growth pattern and can spread to other organs in the body. In most instances, paragangliomas behave as benign tumors. In very rare circumstances, these tumors can behave like malignant lesions and spread to lymph nodes in the neck.

"text": "Famous Jungles around the World March 8, 2013 , zubair , 3 Comments Long before the term ‘rainforest’ was introduced in 1970 in English, the word ‘jungle’ had been in use. It was derived from the Sanskrit word ‘jangala’ meaning ‘uncultivated land.’ Although the rainforest finds popular usage, yet it has not totally replaced the word ‘jungle,’ and practically both words co-exist sometimes with a little variation in their description. A jungle differs from a forest in that a forest has tall trees with a thick canopy allowing only one percent of light to penetrate to the forest floor. In a jungle, the floor is fully exposed to sunlight allowing the thick growth of shrubs and grasses. Distinguishing features of jungles or rainforests include their warm and humid environment as well as an excess of precipitation.1. The Amazon Jungle The Amazon Jungle The Amazon Jungle, also known as the Amazon rainforest, or Amazonia, includes most of the South American Amazon basin. The total area of this basin is 7 million square kilometers, and 5.5 million square kilometers of it is comprised of the jungle. The Amazon Jungle is the largest jungle in the world and covers an area that is equal to almost half of the total area of the jungles of the world. The Amazon Jungle falls within the territories of nine countries."

"text": "\"The Phantom Edit Share Cover to DC Comics' The Phantom # 1 (1988) Art by Joe Orlando and Dave Gibbons The Phantom is a comic strip created by Lee Falk (also creator of Mandrake the Magician ), recounting the adventures of a costumed crime-fighter called the Phantom. The series began with a daily newspaper strip on February 17, 1936, which was joined by a colour Sunday strip in May of 1939; both are still running as of 2006 and are read by millions of people every day. Lee Falk died in 1999, and the newspaper comics are now written by Tony De Paul and drawn by Paul Ryan (daily strip) and Graham Nolan (Sunday strip). Previous artists on the newspaper strip include Ray Moore, Wilson Mc Coy, Bill Lignante, Sy Barry, George Olesen, Keith Williams and Fred Fredericks. The Phantom is also successfully published in comic books throughout the world, by several different publishers. The Phantom is credited as being the first \"\"costumed superhero\"\", i.e. the first crimefighter to wear the skintight costume attributed to comic book superheroes, and being the first hero to have white eyes behind his mask, a phenomenon very common with superheroes. Previous fictional crime fighters, such as Zorro and Doc Savage, were not designed especially for newspaper comi Contents [ show]The character Edit The Phantom wears a black mask and a purple skintight costume. Creator Lee Falk had originally envisioned a grey costume and even considered naming his creation \"\"The Grey Ghost\"\" before settling on \"\"The Phantom\"\". It was not until the Phantom Sunday strip debuted in 1939 that the costume was shown to be purple, something that apparently was a printing mistake and Lee Falk himself did not approve beforehand. Lee Falk wanted the costume to be gray, but the colorist while colouring the strip decided that Phantom would look better in purple."

Actually the name Babaji is somewhat generic and has been applied to many sages over the years. The word Baba means father and the suffix \"\"ji\"\" is one of respect.

Hariakhan Baba Maharaj is a Great One, said to have been alive for thousands of years, dwelling in various caves in the Himalayas, appearing sometimes among men to accomplish some particular goal but always watching over the welfare of mankind from the sidelines. Though many people saw him in both the 19th and the 20th century, his appearance was always that of a young man in early manhood. He was tall and slender with a noble and dignified appearance and in nature was humble, kind and childlike. His complexion was light and his hair sometimes worn long and sometimes short. Details of his appearance varied even when he was observed by several people at the same time. He spoke little and seldom ate unless given food by devotees."

"text": "\"Elephant Riding Vacations If you've ever dreamed of riding atop the tough, wrinkled skin of a gigantic creature while exploring the landscapes of a foreign country, the idea of an elephant riding trip may sound thrilling. These creatures, gentle giants thriving in Southeast Asian countries or wild, massive spectacles roaming throughout Africa, have long been the delight of animal lovers all over the world. The opportunity to fulfill that dream is becoming more and more possible as elephant tours proliferate for people with a variety of tastes and styles. Where to Ride Tourists in India, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam experience life in the jungle on the backs of these mighty creatures. Some South African safari tours give you a chance to see the bush from an elephant's back, too, but this opportunity is rare in Africa, as the African elephant is much larger and more untamed than the Asian elephant. While elephant rides in Laos and Vietnam focus more on experiencing the culture of local people within a larger tour, day trips with the sole purpose of riding an elephant are common in Thailand. Indian elephant tours are often part of a safari expedition, as in South Africa. How to Ride Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothes to mount the elephant. If you are on a safari, consider trying to blend in with the elephant or the surroundings so you will not be as noticeable to animals you may encounter on the path. While you are not expected to dress in full camouflage, it helps to remain inconspicuous in the jungle."

Are they synonyms? Do they mean the same? Can jungle be used for every instance where forest is to be used? These are the questions that need to be answered. This article will explain the differences to clear any misunderstanding on this count. Though one can find use of Jungle with reference to a forested area, writers find it more suitable when they are describing a geographical area in Asia or Africa rather than Europe or America. However, there are people who have seen jungles in India and other parts of Asia as well as forests in the western world are of the opinion that differences do exist (and it may be due to difference in weather conditions and natural vegetation rather than anything else). What is a Forest? A forest generally means any wooded land and is present in both equatorial and tropical climatic zones."

Even though they differ from each other in appearance yet they all belong to one single family, the Felidae. The Tiger (Panthera tigris) With an average length of 9-10 ft, Tigers inhabit the length and breadth of India from the lofty heights of the Himalayas to the forests of Southern India. The size varies according to the type of habitat they live in, Tigers from the Himalayas being larger in size from the ones from Central & Southern India. The Indian Tiger also known as the Royal Bengal Tiger is bright in color with well developed stripes and a short luxuriant coat. It is mainly a solitary animal keeping itself to the densely forested areas. It is only during the mating when a Tiger and a Tigress come together for a number of days. The rearing and taking care of the cubs is essentially a Tigress’s job and takes around two years till the time the cubs grow up to take independent territories. In India the remains of the tigers have been found till the altitude of 10,000 ft which shows its adaptability. It can be found in the dense evergreen forests, in the forests on the foothill of the Himalayas, in the forests of central India and in the Sunderbans where it leads a sort of amphibious life."

This bantam mottled cochin enjoys the diversity of plants and insect foods. Chickens can be tightly confined and still produce a lot of eggs, but productivity is not necessarily a measure of contentment. Have you ever wondered how chickens would live if they could choose? I think the best place to look for an answer is in Asia, where their wild relatives evolved. Genetic studies suggest that chickens were domesticated largely from red jungle fowl, so we can use information about red jungle fowl habitats and habits as guidance in creating an environment that will best allow chickens to express their natural behaviors. I will address some common questions about chickens, using what is known about red jungle fowl. What is a “normal” flock size? Aside from the smallest of backyard flocks, most domestic chickens are kept in large groups. But according to a study in India, flocks of red jungle fowl are actually quite small."

The Jungle Book Embossed cover of first edition with artwork by John Lockwood Kipling Author Rudyard Kipling Illustrator John Lockwood Kipling (Rudyard's father)Country United Kingdom Language English Series The Jungle Books Genre Children's book Publisher Macmillan Publication date 1894Preceded by \"\"In the Rukh\"\"Followed by The Second Jungle Book The Jungle Book (1894) is a collection of stories by the English author Rudyard Kipling. Most of the characters are animals such as Shere Khan the tiger and Baloo the bear, though a principal character is the boy or \"\"man-cub\"\" Mowgli, who is raised in the jungle by wolves. The stories are set in a forest in India; one place mentioned repeatedly is \"\"Seonee\"\" ( Seoni ), in the central state of Madhya Pradesh. A major theme in the book is abandonment followed by fostering, as in the life of Mowgli, echoing Kipling's own childhood. The theme is echoed in the triumph of protagonists including Rikki-Tikki-Tavi and The White Seal over their enemies, as well as Mowgli's. Another important theme is of law and freedom; the stories are not about animal behaviour, still less about the Darwinian struggle for survival, but about human archetypes in animal form. They teach respect for authority, obedience, and knowing one's place in society with \"\"the law of the jungle\"\", but the stories also illustrate the freedom to move between different worlds, such as when Mowgli moves between the jungle and the village. Critics have also noted the essential wildness and lawless energies in the stories, reflecting the irresponsible side of human nature. The Jungle Book has remained popular, partly through its many adaptations for film and other media."

"text": "\"Difference Between Jungle and Rainforest• Categorized under Nature | Difference Between Jungle and Rainforest Jungle vs Rain forest Though jungle and rainforest might appear to be similar, there are differences between the two. A rainforest area is often surrounded by a jungle, with the primary difference being that a rainforest has a very thick canopy of tall trees, which make it very difficult for light to penetrate to the ground level making it difficult for plants to flourish. A jungle floor on the other hand will usually have a thick undergrowth of plants and vegetation. Jungles are sometimes artificially created. If part of a rainforest is cleared, the remaining trees will let in more light towards the forest floor, thus encouraging growth of vegetation, and thereby making a jungle out of a former rainforest. Another difference is in a cultural sense. Forests in the Indian sub-continent have always been known as jungles, whereas the rainforests have really been identified with the Amazonian basin in Brazil. The word jungle is taken from the Hindi language, and as such its association is really with the rich and varied flora and fauna of India and its surrounding countries. Rainforests on the other hand straddle the equatorial belt and can be found in South America, the Congo basin of Africa and South East Asia. Another difference lies in the importance of tropical rainforests to the ecological health of the earth, which is immense."

I don't think I've met anyone who has any idea of his support for imperialism. That doesn't mean that there aren't any, but only a small percentage. Those who have read his other works and know about his views, will probably have different opinion. But not many among general populace have heard of 'The White Man's Burden'. On contrary almost everyone knows about 'The Jungle Book' partly because his name used to appear at the end of titles in the tv show of same name. Therefore even the people with no idea about Kipling's works have heard of him as a children's story writer. Also he was born in India so he's generally liked in India.

Calcium chloride is a chemical compound made up of calcium and chlorine. It contains two atoms of chlorine and one atom of calcium. Thus its chemical formula is Ca Cl2. It is also known as a common salt, as referred to in chemistry. Calcium chloride can be prepared by various methods. When calcium carbonate or calcium oxide is dissolved in hydrochloric acid, calcium chloride is produced. Calcium chloride is obtained on a large scale as a byproduct of the Solvay process or the ammonia-soda process. In this process, when calcium carbonate reacts with sodium chloride, sodium carbonate and calcium chloride are formed. If we are aware of the basic physical and chemical properties of calcium chloride, we can utilize this chemical substance more effectively. Some important points are given below: *Physical Properties of Calcium Chloride Physical state: Calcium chloride can be found in solid state at room temperature, and is available as flakes, granules and powdered form."

"text": "The New Health Care Law and Annual and Lifetime Coverage Limits Your questions answeredby Susan Jaffe, AARP Bulletin, August 23, 2010Red James/Getty Images Q. Does the new health care reform law eliminate annual and lifetime limits on health care coverage in insurance policies? Yes. On Sept. 23, lifetime limits are effectively banned for all plans that begin or are renewed after that date. Insurance companies can no longer cut off policy holders when their medical expenses reach a lifetime limit. Annual limits on coverage will be phased out over the next few years, beginning this year. Currently, more than 100 million Americans have insurance that stops when medical claims exceed their policy’s lifetime limit. The new rule especially will help people with serious diseases that require expensive treatment. Ten percent of cancer patients surveyed recently said they hit their lifetime limit and their insurers would not pay for further medical care. Federal health officials mention the example of an Indiana teenager battling leukemia who reached the $1 million lifetime limit on his family’s policy in a couple of months. To pay for his bone marrow transplant, his desperate parents appealed to the public for donations and raised more than $500,000."

It has already expanded coverage of young adults by allowing them to stay on their parents’ plans until they turn 26, outlawed lifetime limits on what insurance will cover, lowered the cost of drugs for seniors on Medicare, caused 13 million consumers to get premium rebates totaling some $1.1 billion, and expanded access to free preventive care for patients of all ages. Last summer it survived a challenge in the U. S. Supreme Court. But all that is prelude to the transformation coming in 2014, when almost all Americans will have access to affordable health insurance that covers essential care.

This article is part of a series on Taxation in the United States of America Federal taxation [show]State and local taxation [show]Federal tax reform [show]United States portalv t e The Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax ( / ˈ f aɪ k ə /) is a United States federal payroll (or employment) tax [1] imposed on both employees and employers to fund Social Security and Medicare [2] —federal programs that provide benefits for retirees, disabled people, and children of deceased workers. The tax also provides funds to the health care system for institutions that provide healthcare for workers that do not have health insurance and cannot afford healthcare treatment. Because the tax falls exclusively on wages and not on physical or financial capital, payroll taxes may lead to underinvestment in human capital such as higher education. [ 3] Social Security benefits include old-age, survivors, and disability insurance (OASDI); Medicare provides hospital insurance benefits for the elderly. The amount that one pays in payroll taxes throughout one's working career is associated indirectly with the social security benefits annuity that one receives as a retiree. [ 4] Consequently, Kevin Hassett wrote that FICA is not a tax because its collection is directly tied to benefits that one is entitled to collect later in life. [ 5] The United States Supreme Court decided in Flemming v. Nestor (1960) that no one has an accrued property right to benefits from Social Security. The Federal Insurance Contributions Act is currently codified at Title 26, Subtitle C, Chapter 21 of the United States Code. ["

I’m about to go into the hospital for major surgery and will need rehabilitation therapy afterward. I’m concerned about how long Medicare will pay for my care. A. A hospital benefit period is one of those aspects of Medicare coverage that many people find especially difficult to understand. Which isn’t surprising. You’d think that a benefit period would simply be a length of time during which Medicare would cover your care if you’re admitted to the hospital. But it doesn’t work like that. A benefit period begins on the day you’re admitted and ends when you’ve been out of the hospital for 60 days in a row. So if you’ve left the hospital on a certain day, and are then readmitted before 60 days from that date is up, you’re still within the same benefit period. But if you go back into the hospital after that 60th day, you’re then in a new benefit period."

Most healthcare providers, whether licensed individuals or institutions, find that the majority of their income comes from the care and treatment of Medicare beneficiaries. Medicare is a federal healthcare program that covers approximately 43 million individuals who are over the age of 65, or who are under the age of 65 and are disabled. Because of the demographics of Medicare beneficiaries, they are more frequent consumers of healthcare than younger, healthier individuals. Title XVIII of the Social Security Act established Medicare in 1965. Since then, programs have been added and coverage has expanded. Medicare is currently composed of four parts that cover a wide range of medical services. Professional medical billers and certified medical coders are cognizant of all parts of the Medicare system, its benefits, and its limitations. With a certified educational foundation, and ongoing continuing education, medical coders and medical billers understand how to assign codes correctly to describe medically necessary services, as well as how to assemble that information in meaningful ways to the applicable Medicare program. This article describes how professional medical billers and coders interact with Medicare program in order to receive appropriate reimbursement for services."

CONNECT TWEET LINKEDIN COMMENT EMAIL MOREIn 2015, most premiums are going down or holding steady for Medicare recipients – and that's just one way your Medicare costs are lowering. The monthly premium for Original Medicare Part A is going down in 2015 – from $426 to $407 – while the Part B monthly premium will remain steady at $147 for the third straight year. Due to changes implemented by the Affordable Care Act, it's estimated the average person with traditional Medicare will save $5,000 from 2010 to 2022, according to a report from the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services. In part, that's because under the ACA, there are now no copays or deductible for many preventive services. Since the passage of the Affordable Care Act, Medicare Advantage premiums have decreased by 6 percent, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The law is also closing the Medicare Part D coverage gap, or \"\"donut hole,\"\" for prescription drug coverage. CMS estimates more than 8.3 million people have saved more than $12 billion on prescription drugs through July 2014. The gap will continue to close every year until 2020, when beneficiaries will pay only 25 percent of the cost for covered brand-name and generic drugs while in the gap. Here's a look at what you can expect to pay in premiums, deductibles and copays in 2015: Part A (Hospital Insurance)Premiums: Ninety-nine percent of beneficiaries do not pay a monthly Part A premium because they or a spouse have 40 or more calendar quarters of Medicare-covered employment and paid Medicare taxes while working."

If you have a Medicare Part C Medicare Advantage plan: Medicare Part C Medicare Advantage plans, also called Medicare Advantage plans, must cover everything that's included in original Medicare Part A and Part B coverage.

To find out whether your plan provides extra coverage or requires different co-payments for inpatient mental health treatment, contact the plan directly. What Medicare Pays Medicare Part A coverage for inpatient mental healthcare varies depending on the location of the inpatient care: Care in a general hospital. Medicare Part A pays for inpatient mental healthcare in a general (nonpsychiatric) hospital under the same terms and conditions as it pays for any other hospital inpatient care, with a deductible, daily coinsurance amounts for long stays, and limits on the total days covered. Care in a psychiatric hospital. Medicare Part A pays for inpatient mental healthcare in a psychiatric hospital -- meaning one that accepts patients only for mental healthcare -- under the same terms as for a general hospital, with one exception: For care in a psychiatric hospital, Medicare Part A covers only a total of 190 days in a patient's lifetime. Care in a skilled nursing facility.

"text": "Medicare Part A only covers some of the costs of inpatient hospital stays for up to 90 days per benefit period. However, you may be able to use Medicare lifetime reserve days to extend your Part A coverage if you need inpatient hospital care past the 90-day limit. You have a total of 60 lifetime reserve days that you can use for this purpose. Medicare Part A inpatient hospital insurance covers “hospital services, including semi-private rooms, meals, general nursing, drugs as part of your inpatient treatment, and other hospital services and supplies,” according to Medicare.gov. Medicare lifetime reserve days require a $670 daily co-insurance payment in 2018. All 10 standardized Medicare Supplement insurance plans will pay for this co-insurance cost. They also will cover hospital health care costs up to an additional 365 days after your Medicare benefits are used up. Medicare Part A and hospital care To use a lifetime reserve day, first you must be eligible for inpatient hospital care that is covered by Medicare Part A. To qualify for inpatient hospital care, your hospital doctor must make an official order stating that “you need 2 or more midnights of medically necessary inpatient hospital care to treat your illness or injury and the hospital formally admits you.” Medicare.gov provides a guide to determine if you are a hospital outpatient or inpatient. You must use Medicare Part A hospital inpatient services for more than 90 days in a benefit period in order for a Medicare lifetime reserve day to be used."

Since 1965, the program has been serving a unique purpose in the lives of millions of Americans.

We derived such estimates using data representative of the U. S. national population. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We aggregated annual medical expenditures from the age of diabetes diagnosis to death to determine lifetime medical expenditure. Annual medical expenditures were estimated by sex, age at diagnosis, and diabetes duration using data from 2006–2009 Medical Expenditure Panel Surveys, which were linked to data from 2005–2008 National Health Interview Surveys. We combined survival data from published studies with the estimated annual expenditures to calculate lifetime spending. We then compared lifetime spending for people with diabetes with that for those without diabetes. Future spending was discounted at 3% annually. RESULTS The discounted excess lifetime medical spending for people with diabetes was $124,600 ($211,400 if not discounted), $91,200 ($135,600), $53,800 ($70,200), and $35,900 ($43,900) when diagnosed with diabetes at ages 40, 50, 60, and 65 years, respectively."

This article explains Medicare Part A (hospital insurance). Medicare Part A is part of Original Medicare (along with Part B), the government-sponsored health insurance program for those who qualify by age, disability, or certain health conditions. Medicare is generally available to United States citizens and permanent legal residents of at least five years in a row, who are at least 65 years old or receive disability benefits. Most of those who qualify for Medicare are automatically enrolled in the program. For more information about eligibility, see Medicare Eligibility. Most people do not have to pay a premium for Medicare Part A. If you or your spouse worked at least 10 years (40 quarters) and paid Medicare taxes while working, you’ll get premium-free Part A. If you don’t qualify for premium-free Medicare Part A, you’ll typically pay a monthly premium. What is Medicare Part A? Medicare Part A is hospital insurance provided by Medicare through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Part A coverage includes (but may not be limited to) inpatient care in hospitals, nursing homes, skilled nursing facilities, and critical access hospitals."

These complex diagnoses include, but are not limited to – Traumatic Brain Injury, conditions requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation, paralysis, very significant wound care, and other conditions resulting in organ failure – resulting in the patient requiring a hospital-level of care for an extended period. To qualify as a Long-Term Care Hospital for Medicare payment, a facility must meet Medicare’s conditions of participation for acute care hospitals and have an average length of stay greater than 25 days for its Medicare patients. Medicare is a major payer for most LTCHs, accounting for about two-thirds of LTCH discharges. QUICK SCREEN – WHEN SHOULD MEDICARE COVERAGE BE AVAILABLE FOR INPATIENT HOSPITAL REHABILITATIONMedicare claims for Long-Term Care Hospital care are suitable for Medicare coverage, and for appeal if they have been denied, if they meet the following criteria: The patient’s physician ordered an inpatient hospitalization for treatment of the patient's condition. The hospital (or a unit within the hospital) meets Medicare guidelines to qualify as a Long-Term Care Hospital. The individual requires treatment for a medically complex condition that can only be provided in a hospital setting. Additionally, the patient requires a longer length-of-stay for treatment – usually greater than 25-days – as well as programs of care provided by the Long-Term Care Hospital, including, but not limited to, comprehensive rehabilitation, respiratory therapy, and pain or wound management (although this is not an all-inclusive list)."

"text": "Medicare Hospital Benefit Period Explained Guide to explaining the Medicare hospital benefit period Under Medicare, the hospital benefit period starts once you’ve been admitted to the hospital and expires once you’ve been at home for 60 consecutive days. Say that you’ve been released from the hospital on a particular day, but you had to go back before that 60-day period has ended. Your stay will still fall within the hospital benefit period. Unfortunately, if you have to return to the hospital after that period has expired, it’s considered to be another benefit period. The differences between each situation will affect your medical costs. This situation is made more difficult if you have to be admitted into a nursing facility or convalescent center in order to receive additional care or rehabilitation aid once you’ve been released from the hospital. This stay is considered to be part of the hospital benefit period, but the rules and fees are a bit different. Furthermore, the costs you accrue for each period can vary, based on whether you’re covered by Medicare’s traditional program or a Medicare Advantage plan. Traditional Medicare hospital coverage Here is a breakdown of how much Medicare will cover and how much you’ll owe out-of-pocket for individual hospital benefit periods: You will be expected to pay for the initial cost of your hospital stay up to a limit of $1,288. This is your hospital deductible for Medicare Part A. As opposed to other Medicare deductibles, it begins anew with every hospital benefit period, rather than your first admission to the hospital each year."

Click here for pictures of lone star ticks Southern Tick Associated Rash Illness (STARI), also known as Masters disease, occurs after the bite of the lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum. The disease is thought to be caused by the bacterium Borrelia lonestari. However, this hypothesis is based on a single case of B. lonestari infection in a STARI patient. No other report has confirmed B. lonestari infection in a suspected STARI patient. Borrelia burgdorferi (the causative agent of Lyme disease) has been ruled out as the cause of STARI because lone star ticks do not transmit B. burgdorferi. Early STARI symptoms are similar to symptoms of early Lyme disease (LD). A skin lesion (or rash) that looks like a Lyme disease erythema migrans (EM) appears at the site of the tick bite. Treatment with an antibiotic regimen similar to that used for LD helps resolve STARI. In some patients, STARI resolves on its own without antibiotic treatment."

It is most commonly found from central Texas east across the southern states and along the Atlantic coast as far north as Maine. It is rarely, if ever, fatal. What are the symptoms? STARI is characterized by an expanding rash, mild symptoms such as fever, malaise or headache, occurring in spring or summer, and a recent history of a Lone Star tick bite at the site of the rash. These symptoms are similar to Lyme disease, but the serious complications like heart, neurological and arthritic problems are rare with STARI. How is Southern Tick Associated Rash Illness treated?"

All members of this group have four pairs of legs as adults and have no antennae. Adult insects have three pairs of legs and one pair of antennae. Ticks are among the most efficient carriers of disease because they attach firmly when sucking blood, feed slowly and may go unnoticed for a considerable time while feeding. Ticks take several days to complete feeding. Ticks have four life stages: egg, six-legged larva, eight-legged nymph and adult. After the egg hatches, the tiny larva (sometimes called a “seed tick”) feeds on an appropriate host. The larva then develops (molts) into the larger nymph. The nymph feeds on a host and then molts into an even larger adult. Both male and female adults find and feed on a host, then the females lay eggs sometime after feeding."

"text": "Ehrlichiosis/Anaplasmosis Introduction Recent phylogenetic studies have prompted an extensive taxonomic reorganization of bacteria from the Ehrlichieae tribe, a group of parasitic microbes that invade and occupy specific compartments in host cells, called vacuoles, that are responsible for nutrient uptake and the release of cellular waste. The updated classification scheme, implemented over the last several years, now places these bacteria in the family Anaplasmataceae, which currently consists of six genera, including Anaplasma and Ehrlichia. These two genera comprise all tick-transmitted pathogens that infect cellular elements of peripheral blood, such as erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells) and platelets. The term “ehrlichiosis” is still sometimes used generally to describe infection by any organism from the former the Ehrlichieae tribe, and at other times to refer specifically to infection by species within the newly reorganized Ehrlichia genus. This inconsistency can cause confusion; for the purpose of this review, “ehrlichiosis” and “anaplasmosis” will be used separately to describe infection with species belonging to the Ehrlichia and Anaplasma genera, respectively. Although the clinical manifestations of the two diseases are similar, there are notable zoonotic and epidemiological differences between them. Ehrlichiosis Overview Bacteria from the genus Ehrlichia have long been recognized as veterinary pathogens, but the first human case of ehrlichiosis was not identified until 1986. Since that year, the number of case reports has grown fairly steadily and currently stands at around 500 per year. Although ehrlichiosis is a nationally reportable disease, reporting is passive, and the true incidence of the Ehrlichia infection is thus assumed to be significantly higher. This suspicion is bolstered by the high rates of background seroprevalence (~12-15%) in endemic areas, a finding that also indicates that many infections are mild and self-limiting or asymptomatic."

"text": "Tick Fevers & Diseases The disease organisms that cause tick-borne diseases are transmitted through blood feeding by tick larvae, nymphs and adults. When a tick gets on a host and finds a feeding spot on its host, the tick grabs ahold and pierces its mouthparts into the host’s skin. Many tick species also discharge a cement-like substance that keeps them firmly attached during the blood feeding process. Ticks may secrete saliva that contains an anesthetic compound so the host can’t feel that the tick has attached itself. Any pathogen a tick carries may be transmitted to a host during the blood-feeding process. Diseases known to be transmitted by ticks are Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Colorado tick fever, babesiosis, tularemia, ehrlichiosis, southern tick-associated rash illness (STARI), tick-borne relapsing fever, anaplasmosis, Powassan disease, rickettsiosis, heartland virus, 364D richettsiosis and tick-borne relapsing fever. Some of the more common symptoms of tick-related illnesses are fever and chills, muscle aches and headache pains, plus rashes that are symptomatic of several diseases that produce distinctive rashes. Tick-borne diseases that often include rash symptoms include Lyme disease, southern tick associated rash illness (STARI), Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Colorado tick fever and ehrlichiosis. Lyme disease Lyme disease is the most common disease United States residents may contract from ticks. This disease is caused by a bacterium that is transmitted by the blacklegged tick in the northeastern and north-central United States and the western blacklegged tick, in the Pacific coastal states."

Males of the species have white lines or streaks around the edges of the top of their body, but these markings are not as noticeable as the markings on the female. Often, lone star ticks are mistaken for blacklegged ticks, one of two tick vectors of Lyme disease. However, lone star ticks are not known to transmit Lyme disease. How Did I Get Lone Star Ticks? The lone star tick feeds on the blood of humans and mammals such as white-tailed deer, horses, cattle, dogs, skunks, squirrels, raccoons and migratory birds, so these animals often bring ticks into yards or perhaps into a person’s home if a tick infested dog or other pet comes inside. Also, raccoons, stray cats or opossums can cause tick problems in a home’s crawl space.

Many of them carry bacteria, viruses or other pathogens that cause disease in humans and/or animals. In the midwestern and eastern United States, Ixodes scapularis or deer tick is the primary vector of Lyme disease. On the West Coast, the spirochete is carried by Ixodes pacificus or western black-legged tick. In the South, lone star ticks (Amblyomma americanum) can also transmit Lyme disease or a closely related illness. Ticks have four life stages: egg, larva, nymph and adult.

A wiry man with graying brown hair, he is most at home in a kayak on the ponds behind the wooded Jacksonville campus. He jogs and lifts weights, when he is well enough to do so. Clark has spent years all over the South crawling through underbrush and kicking up leaf litter to collect ticks that transmit infections. Despite innumerable tick bites, Clark never had a medical problem until the day he dragged for ticks in the town of Fayetteville, a suburb south of Atlanta. Clark was giving a talk on Lyme disease at a gathering of the Dougherty County Medical Society in Albany, Ga., where he met Fayetteville resident Liz Schmitz, president of the Georgia Lyme Disease Association. When he heard how many people from Schmitz’s town had been sickened after tick bites, he agreed to come up and investigate."

Since the late 1980s, physicians in the south central and southeast United States have observed Lyme disease-like rashes on patients with a recent history of tick bite. However, the tick vector associated with these lesions is Amblyomma americanum, the Lone Star tick, rather than either of Ixodes tick species – I. scapularis or I. pacificus - known to transmit Lyme disease in the United States. In the absence of proof that the causative agent of Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, is associated with these rashes (and considerable evidence that it is not), this clinical entity has been differentiated from Lyme disease and is called Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness, or STARI. It is also sometimes referred to as Masters disease, in honor of Edwin Masters, the Missouri family physician who first reported these cases to his state’s Department of Health. Despite vigorous efforts, the causative agent of STARI has never been cultured and is not currently known. However, some evidence exists that a recently discovered spirochete, Borrelia lonestari, may be responsible: B. lonestari has been detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in Lone Star ticks removed from humans, as well as in Lone Star ticks collected during general epidemiological studies. More convincingly, B. lonestari DNA was detected by PCR in the biopsied skin lesion of a patient with a history of recent Lone Star tick bite, while B. burgdorferi DNA was absent in the same sample. However, other studies have been unable to confirm this finding; in one Missouri investigation, biopsies from the lesions of 31 patients with Lone Star tick bites were negative by both culture and PCR for B. lonestari."

Infections due to tick and deer fly bites usually take the form of ulceroglandular or glandular tularemia. Handling infected animals Lone star tick ( Amblyomma americanum)F. tularensis bacteria can be transmitted to humans via the skin when handling infected animal tissue. In particular, this can occur when hunting or skinning infected rabbits, muskrats, prairie dogs and other rodents."

However, the three most commonly found species are the blacklegged tick (aka deer tick), the lone star tick, and the American dog tick. Free Home Evaluation What are the common ticks found in Tennessee? Brown dog tick - Brown dog ticks can be found throughout the eastern United States and in some parts of the west, but are more likely to inhabit warm environments in the southern part of the country. They are a reddish brown color and are approximately 1/8 of an inch in length if they haven't taken a blood-meal and up to a 1/2 inch in length if they have fed. Canines are their preferred host. Lone star tick - Of the three species, the lone star tick is the least likely to come into contact with people living in Tennessee. They are about 1/8 of an inch in length and brown in color; the females have a white spot in the middle of their backs. They are most active from April through July."

"text": "Medication Strategies For Stress Relief Harry Mills, Ph. D., Natalie Reiss, Ph. D. and Mark Dombeck, Ph. D. Jun 30, 2008Because stress manifests as a function of the body and brain, both of which are essentially chemically driven systems, a wide variety of medications can be used to aid in the process of stress relief and prevention. There is no one specific family of medicines that is used to decrease stress. Instead, physicians may prescribe a range of medications to address specific stress-related symptoms. For instance, sedatives (also referred to as tranquilizers, hypnotics, and/or anxiolytics), antidepressants, and beta-blockers have all been used to help people cope with stress. A note of caution is appropriate with regard to using medicines for stress relief. Many of the medications that are useful for stress relief are also addictive. Serious behavioral and health problems are possible and even likely to occur as a result of using such substances unless care is exercised."

Stress tests are tests performed by a doctor and/or trained technician to determine the amount of stress that your heart can manage before developing either an abnormal rhythm or evidence of ischemia (not enough blood flow to the heart muscle). There are many different types of stress tests, including: Treadmill stress test As long as you can walk and have a normal ECG, this is normally the first stress test performed. You walk on a treadmill while being monitored to see how far you walk and if you develop chest pain or changes in your ECG that suggest that your heart is not getting enough blood. Cardiolite Stress Test A Cardiolite Stress Test helps diagnose coronary artery disease or identifies areas of the heart that lack an adequate blood supply due to narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. Coronary arteries are located on the outside of the heart and bring oxygen rich blood to the heart muscle. While walking on a treadmill Cardiolite is injected at peak exercise through an I. V. in the arm. Cardiolite (a radioactive substance known as a tracer) travels in the blood stream to the heart where it is picked up by the heart muscle cells. Areas of the heart muscle that lack an adequate blood supply pick up the tracer very slowly or not at all. After exercising you will be asked to report to the Radiology Department for the imaging session."

Cold sweats refer to any sudden sweating that is not brought on by exertion or heat. It usually occurs due to the body’s response to stress. This is the body’s natural flight or fight response. It can also be a sign of an illness or injury and should be recognized as a possible symptom when applying first aid. Recognizing Cold Sweats It can come on suddenly due to a number of reasons. You would expect sweating after some physical activity, but cold sweats are brought on by other things. They can be worse when occurring at night because people have a tendency to fight the sweats when they come. This causes even more anxiety and the inability to sleep due to fear, creating a vicious cycle of anxiety and cold sweats. Symptoms That Can Occur with Cold Sweats It typically occur in conjunction with other symptoms."

Onset of depression more complex than a brain chemical imbalance Updated: April 11, 2017 Published: June, 2009It's often said that depression results from a chemical imbalance, but that figure of speech doesn't capture how complex the disease is. Research suggests that depression doesn't spring from simply having too much or too little of certain brain chemicals. Rather, there are many possible causes of depression, including faulty mood regulation by the brain, genetic vulnerability, stressful life events, medications, and medical problems. It's believed that several of these forces interact to bring on depression. To be sure, chemicals are involved in this process, but it is not a simple matter of one chemical being too low and another too high. Rather, many chemicals are involved, working both inside and outside nerve cells. There are millions, even billions, of chemical reactions that make up the dynamic system that is responsible for your mood, perceptions, and how you experience life. With this level of complexity, you can see how two people might have similar symptoms of depression, but the problem on the inside, and therefore what treatments will work best, may be entirely different. Researchers have learned much about the biology of depression."

Legg, Ph D, CRNPContents of this article: What is stress? Types Causes Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment Management Stress, in everyday terms, is a feeling that people have when they are overloaded and struggling to cope with demands. These demands can be related to finances, work, relationships, and other situations, but anything that poses a real or perceived challenge or threat to a person's well-being can cause stress. Stress can be a motivator. It can be essential to survival. The \"\"fight-or-flight\"\" mechanism can tell us when and how to respond to danger. However, if this mechanism is triggered too easily, or when there are too many stressors at one time, it can undermine a person's mental and physical health and become harmful. According to the annual stress survey conducted by the American Psychological Association (APA), average stress levels in the United States (U. S.) rose from 4.9 to 5.1 on a scale from 1 to 10 in 2015. The main reasons given are employment and money. Fast facts on stress: Here are some key points about stress."

Literature review current through: Mar 2018. | This topic last updated: Jan 03, 2018. URINARY INCONTINENCE OVERVIEWUp to 50 percent of women experience urinary leakage during their lifetime, and 10 to 20 percent suffer from bothersome leakage. It is important to understand that leakage is not a normal part of aging and that treatments are available to reduce or eliminate the problem. Your health care clinician can help you with treatment if you are bothered by leaking urine, having to rush to the toilet frequently, or getting up from sleeping to go to the toilet."

"text": "\"Health Health & Well-Being Injuries Have you ever pulled the muscle between your rib cage and your lungs?if you have how long does it take to heal............yes i have and yes it hurts i've been off work 3 weeks going into my fourth week Update: jenna and nancy pain is so bad glad u understand xx midnight rambler i luv you but u are so naughty xx mwah to u all drugs are starting to take over got to go to bed xx nite nite Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The Muscles between the ribs are called \"\"The Intercostal Muscles\"\" These muscles are found between the ribs, and there are two kinds: the internal and external intercostals. The internal intercostal muscles (in the inside of the rib case) extend from the front of the ribs, and go around back, past the bend in the ribs. The external intercostal muscles (on the outside of the rib case) wrap around from the back of the rib almost to the end of the bony part of the rib in front. Other Muscles that can cause pain in this area are three flat muscles called Internal oblique muscles these lie immediately underneath ribs. Treatment for muscle strains is normally rest along with Non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) analgesic (Ibuprofen). If your diagnosis is muscle strain in the chest area you possible have increased pain when breathing deeply. Because it is difficult to rest this muscle group recovery can take anything from 6 - 12 weeks normally you should be able to manage the pain after about 4 weeks. This though depends on the individual and what activities are being performed. This answer is not intended as and does not substitute for medical advice - the information presented is for patient education only. Please see your personal physician for further evaluation of your individual case."

Those are the finger-like muscles that extend from the back of the ribs to the abdominal muscles. The intercostals -- the small muscles between your ribs -- also contribute to the appearance of a muscular torso. These muscles automatically get worked when you do bench presses, push ups and dips, but a few bonus exercises can help you really zero in for a more chiseled torso. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Choose one to three of the following exercises and perform three to five sets of eight to 20 repetitions once or twice a week. Make sure you watch your diet to stay lean enough. Just as with your abs, if you've got too much body fat you'll never see these muscles even though you've worked hard to get them. Dumbbell Pullovers Exercise specialist Cory Gregory credits dumbbell pullovers for his deep serratus anterior muscles that really stand out. You'll need a bench and one dumbbell to do this exercise. Step 1Grab a dumbbell and position yourself so you're perpendicular to the seat."

The scalene muscles are three paired muscles of the neck, located in the front on either side of the throat, just lateral to the sternocleidomastoid. There is an anterior scalene (scalenus anterior), a medial scalene (scalenus medius), and a posterior scalene (scalenus posterior). They derive their name from the Greek word skalenos and the later Latin scalenus meaning \"\"uneven\"\", similar to the scalene triangle in mathematics, which has all sides of unequal length. These muscles not only have different lengths but also considerable variety in their attachments and fiber arrangements. As you will see from the descriptions below, these muscles are in a very crowded place and are related to many important structures such as nerves and arteries that run through the neck. Get the The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook Now. The scalenes run deep to the sternocleidomastoid. They all start at the cervical vertebra and run to the first to second ribs. The anterior scalene runs almost vertically and its upper part is concealed by the SCM and the lower part is concealed by the clavicle."

Thoracic outlet syndrome refers to a group of conditions that develop when the blood vessels or nerves in the thoracic outlet become compressed. The thoracic outlet is the narrow space between your collarbone and first rib. Blood vessels, nerves, and muscles that extend from the back to the arms pass through this area. If the space in the thoracic outlet is too narrow, these structures can become compressed. The increased pressure on the blood vessels and nerves may cause pain in your shoulders, neck, and arms. It can also cause numbness or tingling in your hands. The cause of thoracic outlet syndrome isn’t always known. However, it may be triggered by physical trauma from a car accident, repetitive movements, or certain structural abnormalities. Treatment for thoracic outlet syndrome typically consists of physical therapy and medication."

"text": "Sore Ribs Facts about Sore Ribs Sore ribs can be one of the most uncomfortable injuries a person can have. The ribs are the skeletal protection for the chest cavity that contains the heart and the lungs. The rib bones and the rib muscles can expand or contract, enabling the chest to move during breathing. Sore ribs can be caused by an injury to these bones or muscles, or can occur from a disorder or infection of the entire area. Not only is this type of problem very painful when breathing, it also affects how the patient sleeps and eats. Essentially having sore ribs can put your entire life on hold until the pain goes away. One of the most common causes of sore ribs is injury to the torso area of the body. The rib bones can be fractured or broken due to blunt injury or severe trauma. This type of injury is not only painful, but misaligned or protruding ribs may puncture a lung and lead to more serious problems. Sprains or strains of the muscles surround the ribcage may also cause a feeling of soreness."

"text": "Rib Injury, The Annoying Pain by Fotopoulou Sophia Archived in Medicine section | Latest Approved Revision on: Wed. 02/19/2003The human body has twelve pairs of ribs; ten pairs attach to the spine and wrap around to attach to the sternum in the front of the chest, and the two lower pairs only attach to the spine in the back. The ribs serve to protect the internal organs, lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, spleen, from injury. The bones have a lot of nerve endings so when damage occurs, pain is significant. Clinical Symptoms A patient with an isolated rib fracture or a minor costochondral separation usually has a history of falling on the side of the chest, being struck by a blunt object, coughing violently or leaning over a rigid edge. The initial chest pain may subside, but over the next few hours or days pain increases with movement, interfering with sleep and activity and becoming severe with coughing or deep inspiration. The patient is often worried about having a broken rib, and may have a sensation of bony crepitus or abnormal rib movement. Breath sounds bilaterally should be normal unless there is substantial splinting or a pneumothorax or hemothorax is present. There is point tenderness over the site of the injury and occasionally bony crepitance can be felt. The general principle for treating broken bones is to put them back into the right place anatomically, and allow time for healing."

"text": "A rib fracture is a crack or break in one of the bones of the rib cage. A break in the thick tissue (cartilage) that connects the ribs to the breastbone may also be called a fractured rib, even if the bone itself is not broken. It is important to see a doctor after a rib injury. A blow that is hard enough to fracture a rib could also injure your lungs, spleen, blood vessels, or other parts of your body. The ribs have two main jobs: They protect the organs in your chest. They help you breathe by keeping space open inside your chest while the muscles you use to breathe squeeze in, or contract. This leaves plenty of space for your lungs to fill up with air. The muscles used for breathing pull on the ribs, so breathing may be very painful when you have a fractured rib. Flail chest is a serious problem that happens when three or more ribs are broken in more than one place. If you have flail chest, the broken area can't hold its shape when you take a breath."

I have fibromyalgia and arthritis. I get muscle spasms in my stomach and rib cage muscles. The last time I had these was last Friday night, and they lasted for two hours. The pain does not come and go, but is continious. Does anyone else get this pain in stomach and rib cage? I have had them before this, but they never lasted for two hours."

"text": "\"Health General Health Care Pain & Pain Management Sharp pain in upper middle-right side of ribcage when breathing?the right half of my ribcage has always kind of been more elevated than the left. it looks kinda bigger. well the past couple days its had these periods where it stings when i breathe in im thinking i couldve slept on it funny?1 following 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: \"\"Upper back pain upon taking a deep breath could be a rib head out. What happens is that when the back muscles get into a spasm, they can actually pop the head of your rib up and it can lay against a nerve pathway, causing more pain and spasm. Also the intercostal cartilage between your ribs could be in spasm as well. The best way to tell if you have a rib out is that you take a deep breath and get a sharp pain, usually localized to one spot. It can also give you discomfort in the chest side as well. Also just plain back muscle spasm could be the problem. A chiropractor is the best remedy for that rib out though. Deep tissue massage, if it is done right can be very effective as well."

Certain foods are natural diuretics, meaning they increase and encourage urine production, which can provide relief from edema, or fluid retention. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load When to Use a Diuretic There are different types of diuretics but in general, they help to rid the body of sodium and water and are used to treat a variety of conditions in addition to edema, such as high blood pressure, glaucoma, osteoporosis and kidney stones. Diuretics work by stimulating your kidneys to produce more urine, extracting water from the blood and reducing pressure on the walls of the arteries, which may be beneficial for people with high blood pressure and other heart-related conditions. Caffeinated Foods and Beverages as Natural Diuretics Drinks that contain caffeine, such as tea and coffee, are diuretics because caffeine, in addition to being an energy booster, encourages your body to urinate more frequently. Caffeine is found naturally in the fruits and seeds, including kola nuts, cocoa beans and is considered safe for regular consumption. It is also made synthetically and added to sports drinks and some types of pain and flu medications. In traditional medicine systems, tea, with its naturally occurring caffeine content, was used as a stimulant and diuretic. Tea leaves are processed to make black, green, white and oolong. The recommendation is that that adults consume no more than 200 to 300 milligrams of caffeine per day."

If you have too much fluid backing up in your feet or in your lungs, these medications will signal your kidneys to produce more urine to get the fluid moving out. They also affect the electrolytes, or nutrients, in your body to help move the fluid out of the tissues. According to Mayo Clinic.com, there are three different types of diuretics: loop diuretics, thiazide diuretics and potassium sparing diuretics. Each type moves fluid in a different way and has different side effects."

Potassium is a crucial mineral for restoring healthy blood pressure balance in your body, and when you don't have enough potassium, symptoms can start to emerge that may eventually be diagnosed and labeled as \"\"high blood pressure.\"\" Here, we bring you a collection of useful information about how potassium can help regulate and normalize your blood pressure. Potassium and high blood pressure The sudden death that can occur in fasting, anorexia nervosa or starvation is often a result of heart failure caused by potassium deficiency. Many population studies have found links between low potassium intakes and an increased risk of high blood pressure and death from stroke. Increasing the amount of potassium-rich foods in the diet can lead to a reduction in high blood pressure. The ratio of sodium to potassium in the diet appears to play an important role in the development of high blood pressure. The typical Western diet is low in potassium relative to sodium. -"

"text": "\"GOUT FROM A DIURETICThis page is concerned only with what is called properly \"\"secondary gout\"\", or gout which is caused by an agent or drug of some sort, rather than true \"\"classical\"\" gout. There are three types of \"\"gout\"\":a) True \"\"gout\"\", which is the result of overly high uric acid naturally occurring in the system.b) Pseudo-gout. This has nothing to do with \"\"gout\"\" as such, but is a symptomatically gout-like condition involving calcium deposits on the bones of the foot.c) \"\"Secondary Gout\"\", which is a gout condition arising from high uric acid in the blood, but caused by a drug used for another medical purpose. Hence the name \"\"secondary\"\". This is the topic of this discussion.1) Diuretics like THIAZIDE and a variety of similar drugs, have been used for years as one of the ways to reduce high blood pressure by excreting water from the system. This is a basic process of programming the kidneys to remove water from the blood, it is effective and the use of such \"\"water pills\"\" is widespread.2) Diuretics are known in the pharmacological literature as causing an increase in uric acid in the system. This produces a situation in which crystalline deposits from the uric acid are liable to be deposited in joints and muscles, especially in the foot and lower limbs, and the resulting condition is well documented in medical textbooks as \"\"secondary gout\"\".3) If a diuretic is administered without consideration of existing uric acid levels, or the necessity of concomitant use of an anti- uric-acid agent such as allopurinol or probenecid, there is a fair chance that the continued use of the diuretics will produce an attack of the gout. This can be anything from a sore toe, to incapacitating crippling of the foot and ankle.4) If you are taking a diuretic, your uric acid levels should be checked regularly, but gout can occur even with median level uric acid readings. Often diuretics are prescribed for continued, even life-long use, so you should be completely sure that your blood pressure level really requires this treatment.5) A drug (allopurinol, probenecid.........) may be required along with the thiazide diuretic to control the uric acid level. CASE HISTORY: The patient had never had an attack of the gout, his uric acid levels were well within the acceptable range on multiple testings."

It is best to consult with a health care professional before using any form of these drugs. Diuretics are used for many reasons. They may be indicated for people who suffer from edema, an intense accumulation of fluids in the body's tissues, and those who suffer from high blood pressure or other heart related diseases. Increasing the production of urine not only releases fluid, but also helps rid the body of excess salts and may reduce blood volume. Some people use water pills as a weight loss aid, usually when a large amount of weight needs to be lost in a short amount of time. The fact is that diuretics are not proven to promote the loss of fat; they simply remove retained fluid. While the scale may show the loss of a few pounds, it is a temporary loss."

Edema, also known as fluid or water retention, and is caused by the accumulation of excess fluids in the circulatory system and areas between the body's cells. It can cause different body parts to swell, with the face, hands, feet, ankles and legs being most common. Edema often affects pregnant women, but anyone can develop the condition. Certain diuretic and potassium-rich foods can help combat edema. Causes of Water Retention According to University of Maryland Medical Center, there are many potential causes of water retention, such as the body’s reaction to humid weather, hormonal changes during menstration, pregnancy, menopause and side effects of oral contraceptive pills among women. Nutritional deficiencies, hypothyroidism, heart or liver disorders could be the reasons behind water retention for both, men and women."

For instance, last night I've been trying to cure a skin condition with raw apple cider vinegar at night and tea tree oil during the day. It works, but he fussed that I stunk to high heaven. I could smell the oil today through my jeans at school. Obviously people probably think I smell weird outside of Jeremy, but I just can stomach going to the doctor if I don't have to. This week has been one of those dietary gross weeks. After 4 days of state testing and chewing gum constantly while pacing like an angry lion I've become bloated and ick. When I start feeling gross my brain immediately goes to some over the counter solution for instance today it was a laxative.

They were much favored by the Romans who spread them to other parts of Europe but they didn't get to England until about the 14th century and have to be grown in hothouses there. Cucumbers arrived in the Americas in the early 16th century. When they arrived in China and Japan is uncertain but is thought to be somewhat later than their arrival in Rome. The durable \"\"green blimp\"\" cucumbers we are accustomed to in the U. S. are a relatively recent development. In earlier times cucumbers were similar to the Persian and often thinner and longer. Besides the fruits, which botanists call a \"\"modified berry\"\", young shoots and leaves of the vine can be cooked and eaten as greens. Using Cucumbers There are two locations of flavor in cucumbers, the skin and the seed mass. Sample an over-ripe cucumber and you'll find the slightly yellow seed mass to have a stronger and quite distinctly cucumber flavor. Personally I don't mind that flavor, in moderation, but some people don't like it."

They not only give you a tiresome appearance but also make you look ages older than you are. The skin around our eyes is the thinnest skin of the body. The blood traveling through the veins nearer to the skin surface shows off as a bluish tint. The more thinner your skin, the more darker it looks. If your eyes itch due to some allergy then also you’ll get dark circles. Anemia which signifies lack of iron in the body also leads to dark circles. This can be a temporary condition too as during menstruation and pregnancy, women tend to suffer from deficiency of certain minerals including iron. Lack of sleep, aging, liver problems and hyperpigmentation around eyes are some more causes of dark circles. Sometimes it is just heredity that gives you dark circles and in such a case there’s very little you can do to get rid of them."

Freshly made raw juices can have a remarkable effect on your skin’s tone and texture over time. This is not a quick fix. But if you want to have perfect skin, the only long-term way to do it is from the inside out and it all starts with your liver. Why Your Skin Reflects the Health of Your Liver Your liver is one of the most essential organs in your body. It performs more than 300 critical metabolic functions related to either transforming or eliminating substances within your bloodstream. With tens of thousands of man-made chemicals polluting our environment, water and food, and over 700 contaminants in the average American body at any one time, your liver is working harder than ever before. Burdened with trying to eliminate an ongoing stream of chemicals and other toxins, it recruits your skin to help with the process of detoxification. Now, instead of receiving the nutrients and vitamins your skin needs to look its best, it is sent more and more foreign and often toxic compounds to get rid of. It’s hardly surprising that trying to process out these substances often leads to inflammatory skin diseases like dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, adult acne, liver spots and rashes, along with dry and dull skin and premature aging."

"text": "What Degree is Needed to Become an Optometrist? If the idea of becoming an eye doctor interests you, then you may be wondering about the kind of degree needed to become an optometrist. With an aging population more prone to vision issues, the United States is seeing a surge in the need for healthcare professionals who specialize in eye health. The U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts an almost 25 percent growth in employment opportunities for optometrists, which means earning your Doctor of Optometry degree can open the door to a lucrative, in-demand profession. What is an Optometrist? An optometrist is a doctor of optometry who delivers primary health care for the eyes. As the American Optometric Association explains, they are state-licensed professionals who do much more than write prescriptions for eyeglasses or contacts. They examine, diagnose and advise their patients on surgical and nonsurgical treatment options for a broad range of disorders, diseases and injuries to the eye, the visual system, and even systemic conditions that affect the eye like diabetes and hypertension. Optometrists do write prescriptions for eyeglasses and contacts; they also prescribe medications, therapies and rehabilitations. Some even perform certain types of eye surgeries, although they will generally refer patients needing surgery to ophthalmologists."

Traditionally, the field of optometry began with the primary focus of correcting refractive error through the use of spectacles. Modern day optometry, however, has evolved through time so that the education curriculum additionally includes intensive medical training in the diagnosis and management of ocular disease in countries where the profession is established and regulated. Optometrists (also known as Doctors of Optometry in the US and Canada for those holding the O. D. degree [1] or Ophthalmic Opticians in the United Kingdom [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]) are health care professionals who provide primary eyecare through comprehensive eye examinations to detect and treat various visual abnormalities and eye diseases. Being a regulated profession, an optometrist's scope of practice may differ depending on the location. Thus, disorders or diseases detected outside the treatment scope of optometry are referred out to relevant medical professionals for proper care, more commonly to ophthalmologists who are physicians that specialize in tertiary medical and surgical care of the eye. Optometrists typically work closely together with other eye care professionals such as ophthalmologists and opticians to deliver quality and efficient eyecare to the general public. The term \"\"optometry\"\" comes from the Greek words ὄψις ( opsis; \"\"view\"\") and μέτρον ( metron; \"\"something used to measure\"\", \"\"measure\"\", \"\"rule\"\"). The word entered the language when the instrument for measuring vision was called an optometer, (before the terms phoropter or refractor were used)."

"text": "\"An ophthalmologist, also known as an eye doctor, is a medical professional who deals exclusively with parts of the body related to the visual passageways — the eyes, parts of the brain, and the areas around the eye, such as the eyelids. This doctor will inspect the eye for disease, and may perform surgery in some cases. He or she may also be able to identify problems that aren't directly related to vision, such as brain tumors or diabetes mellitus. This vision professional is different from an optometrist. An ophthalmologist is a fully licensed medical doctor who is qualified to practice surgery, while an optometrist has completed a graduate degree in optometry. Optometrists deal with prescribing glasses or contact lenses for vision problems, but cannot perform surgery. Sometimes, an ophthalmologist may have a particular specialty, such as diseases of the cornea, retina, and vitreous diseases; glaucoma; eye problems in children; or plastic surgery. He or she may have a more generalized practice, however, and may be involved with testing vision and prescribing corrective eye wear or contact lenses, as an optometrist would. When surgery is required to correct a vision problem, there are several different techniques that an ophthalmologist may use. In some cases, he or she may need to use a scalpel and other invasive tools to remove obstructions from the eye; however, recently, laser eye surgery, or LASIK, has become very common."

An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor, specially trained in the medical and surgical care and treatment of the eyes. Becoming an ophthalmologist can take 12 or more years of advanced education and training. Ophthalmologists must complete 5 to 6 years of medical school, and 1 to 2 years of housemanship (hospital training). After that, the doctor undergoes 3 to 5 years of hospital residency to train in the medical specialty of ophthalmology. It may seem surprising that a doctor would require so much training to treat such a small body part. But when we consider how important vision is to us all, and how complex and delicate the eye is, it isn’t so surprising after all."

"text": "Dry Eye What causes dry eyes? How is dry eye diagnosed? How is dry eye treated? Dry eye is a condition in which a person doesn't have enough quality tears to lubricate and nourish the eye. Tears are necessary for maintaining the health of the front surface of the eye and for providing clear vision. Dry eye is a common and often chronic problem, particularly in older adults. With each blink of the eyelids, tears spread across the front surface of the eye, known as the cornea. Tears provide lubrication, reduce the risk of eye infection, wash away foreign matter in the eye and keep the surface of the eyes smooth and clear. Excess tears in the eyes flow into small drainage ducts in the inner corners of the eyelids, which drain into the back of the nose. Dry eyes can occur when tear production and drainage is not in balance."

Like eyeglasses, contact lenses help to correct refractive errors and perform this function by adding or subtracting focusing power to the eye's cornea and lens. Contacts provide a safe and effective way to correct vision when used with care and proper supervision. They can offer a good alternative to eyeglasses, depending on your eyes and your lifestyle. Over 24 million people in the United States now wear contact lenses. For certain conditions, contact lenses may be considered medically necessary. Cosmetic contact lenses are used to correct the same conditions that eyeglasses correct: Myopia (nearsightedness)Hyperopia (farsightedness)Astigmatism (distorted vision)Presbyopia (need for bifocals)The health of your eyes should be your main concern. Choose an optometrist who is knowledgeable and experienced with contact lenses. It is recommended that all patients have a back-up pair of eyeglasses."

If you have 20/20 vision, you can see clearly at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. If you have 20/100 vision, you must be as close as 20 feet to see what a person with normal vision can see at 100 feet. Q. Does 20/20 mean perfect vision? A. No. 20/20 vision only indicates the sharpness or clarity of vision at a distance. Other important vision skills, including peripheral awareness or side vision, eye coordination, depth perception, focusing ability and color vision, contribute to your overall vision ability. Q.

While in high school, prospective optometric students should concentrate on the basic sciences including chemistry, physics and biology, as well as English and mathematics. After graduation from high school, achieving a career as an optometrist requires 3 years of pre-optometric study at a college before being able to apply to an accredited optometry school. Admission into optometry school is competitive and once accepted students face a 4 year program in order to obtain a Doctor of Optometry degree. Students must also successfully pass exams administered by the National Board of Examiners in Optometry. The arduous training ensures that an optometrist is knowledgeable and ready to perform a variety of techniques on their patients. The term optometrist is sometimes confused with 'optician' and 'ophthalmologist'. An optician is neither trained nor responsible for any type of eye exam; they help a patient choose eye glass frames and adjust them to fit correctly.

Getting a regular eye exam is important not only to check for vision problems that require glasses or contact lenses, but also to check for diseases, such as glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration, that can lead to blindness if left untreated. While the cost of a comprehensive eye exam can be as low as $50, the average price for an eye exam is slightly more than $100, with the exact amount dependent on a number of factors.
