Killer whales, also known as Orcas, are not really a whale at all but are members of the dolphin family. They are the largest, fastest and most powerful members of the dolphin family. They are called killer whales because they are great hunters. They are a member of the toothed whale group of marine mammals. Males can be as much as 30 feet long and weigh up to 20,000 pounds while still being able swim at a top speed of 30 miles an hour. This allows them to move 75 miles in a day, but is not typical. They are social animals and live in family-related groups known as pods. Pods may have of up to 40 members, made up of both males and females. They are protective of their young."

"text": "10 Reasons to Visit Alaska with Kids Written by Kristi Marcelle There is a reason that Alaska is high on many family travel bucket lists. An Alaska family vacation is a little mysterious, a little off the beaten path and full of adventurous activities and wildlife. It’s impossible not to get caught up in Alaska when you visit — you are surrounded and immersed in the destination. The largest state in the union, it’s twice the size of Texas and has a nearly infinite amount of excitement to offer families. Denali, the highest peak in North America, is one of Alaska’s most unforgettable sights. Photo by Christoph Strassler10 Reasons to Visit Alaska with Kids• It’s closer than you think. It seems so far away, yet it’s only a 2-hour flight from Seattle to the Inside Passage towns of Juneau and Ketchikan. In 3 1/2 hours you can reach Anchorage, gateway to the beautiful Kenai Peninsula, where Alaskans go to play.• It’s the perfect multigenerational destination. With jawdropping scenery as well as adventures geared toward every activity level, Alaska is a destination that appeals as much to a 5-year-old as to an 85-year-old.• Alaska has rich history. You can still experience native Alaskan cultures and customs throughout the state."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Sea otters in the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary are descendants of otters translocated from Alaska in 1969 and 1970. Modern efforts in sea otter conservation began in the early 20th century, when the sea otter was nearly extinct due to large-scale commercial hunting. The sea otter was once abundant in a wide arc across the North Pacific ocean, from northern Japan to Alaska to Mexico. By 1911, hunting for the animal's luxurious fur had reduced the sea otter population to fewer than 2000 individuals in the most remote and inaccessible parts of its range. During the 20th century, sea otter populations recovered from remnant populations in the far east of Russia, western Alaska, and California. Beginning in the 1960s, efforts to translocate sea otters to previously populated areas were also successful in restoring sea otters to other parts of the west coast of North America. Populations in some areas are now thriving, and the recovery of the sea otter is considered one of the greatest successes in marine conservation. [ 1]In two important parts of its range, however, sea otter populations have recently declined or have plateaued at depressed levels. In the Aleutian Islands, a massive and unexpected disappearance of sea otters has occurred in recent decades. The cause of the decline is not known, although the observed pattern of disappearances is consistent with a rise in orca predation."

Credit: Orca image via Shutterstock Orcas are often called killer whales. Though they don't typically attack humans, this name is still well-chosen due to the animal's ability to take down large marine animals, such as sea lions and whales. In fact, orcas will prey on almost any animal they find in the sea, in the air over the water or along the coastline. To hunt, killer whales use their massive teeth, which can grow up to 4 inches (10 centimeters) long. Size Orcas are known for their long dorsal fin (the fin on the animal's back) and black-and-white coloring. Just behind the dorsal fin is a patch of gray called a \"\"saddle\"\" — because it looks like a riding saddle. An orca's body is cylindrical and tapers at both ends to form an aerodynamic shape. According to National Geographic, orcas are considered the largest species of the dolphin family. They weigh up to 6 tons (5,443 kilograms) and grow to 23 to 32 feet (7 to 9.7 meters)."

Various species of whales can be seen throughout Alaska during the months of May through September. It is not uncommon for cruise passengers to see whales right from the deck of the ship. However, you will increase your chances off seeing whales by taking a whale watching tour. The smaller boats allow you to get a closer view of the whales and you will most likely receive interesting facts about the local whale pods from your guide. Best time for Viewing Whales in Alaska. Best Time To See Gray Whales: Your best chance to see the Gray whales would be in Ketchikan, Sitka, Kodiak or Seward during the months of April and May. They can be spotted as they move to the far north Alaska waters of the Bering Sea by late April. Best Time To See Beluga Whales: Beluga whales can be seen along Cook Inlet heading south from Anchorage along what is known as Turnagain Arm in the spring through fall months. They can be viewed year round in in the southern Alaska waters of the Shelikof Strait between Katmai National Park on the Alaska Peninsula and Kodiak Island."

From the remote northernmost town of Barrow, to the lush southeast and even near downtown Anchorage - the state's whale watching opportunities are the crowning jewel of many Alaska vacations. And in the summer, after thousands of whales have made their way to the rich feeding grounds of Alaska waters, sightings are as plentiful as the sun. Imagine enjoying a fine meal at one of Anchorage's waterfront restaurants, the still water of Cook Inlet is punctuated by white flashes - the backs of a passing pod of beluga whales. Or perhaps you're on a tour boat, scanning the waters of Southeast's Glacier Bay. Through binoculars, you watch a dark spot in the distance disappear. Moments later, a humpback whale explodes from the water so close to the boat that binoculars are overkill. It's the stuff of a whale watcher's dream. Depending on your itinerary, numerous whale-watching tours are available. The waters of Resurrection Bay, Prince William Sound and Southeast Alaska are particularly popular and offer several options."

Visitors and residents are treated year-round to sightings of orca whales (killer whales), minke whales, gray whales, and humpback whales. Some of the best sightings are made from whale watching cruises that set out from several Washington waterfront destinations and communities. San Juan Island whale watching is the best known in the region, but whale watching tours also operate from Orcas Island and Anacortes as well as Bellingham, Everett, and Port Townsend. Some of these companies guarantee sightings on every tour, and in part, that's thanks to three resident pods of orca whales that live in the waters around the San Juan Islands and Puget Sound - one of the best studied orca populations in the world. However, whale migration also makes the Washington state coast great for spotting minke whales, humpback whales (which produce the renown whale songs), and gray whales, which are found only off the coast of Korea and the West Coast of North America as they migrate from Alaska to the Baja Peninsula in Northern Mexico. While Washington State whale watching is one of the most popular attractions in the Puget Sound and San Juan Islands, Washington coast vacations also provide stunning looks at many species of birds and marine life, including seals and sea lions, porpoises, bald eagles, albatrosses, pelicans, and other seabirds.

Planning is needed because there are certain whale hot spots – where you have the best chance of seeing them – and because the larger species tend to split their lives between widely separate feeding and breeding grounds, so rarely stay in one place for more than a few months at a time. The 10 best places in Europe to spot whales Everything you need to know about booking a whale watching holiday Patience is necessary because, even under the best conditions, whales can be tricky to find. Having said that, most commercial whale watching trips have a surprisingly high success rate (many guarantee sightings – in the unlikely event you don’t see a whale you get a free trip another day) because they tend to concentrate on well-known whale populations at peak seasons. These days you can join whale watching trips in no fewer than 119 countries, from Ireland and the Azores to Australia and Japan, but here are a few of my favourite locations:1. Alaska, United States The 49th state is arguably best known for one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on the planet – humpback whales lunge-feeding. Groups of humpbacks construct enormous circular fishing nets with bubbles to catch vast shoals of herring then launch themselves high into the air with their mouths wide open. Best in August (but can be observed throughout summer).23 photos that prove America is the most epic place on Earth View Gallery2.

I n 2012, the British Columbia–based Native American Haida tribe launched an effort to restore the salmon fishery that has provided much of their livelihood for centuries. Acting collectively, the Haida voted to form the Haida Salmon Restoration Corporation, financed it with $2.5 million of their own savings, and used it to support the efforts of American scientist-entrepreneur Russ George to demonstrate the feasibility of open-sea mariculture — in this case, the distribution of 120 tons of iron sulfate into the northeast Pacific to stimulate a phytoplankton bloom which in turn would provide ample food for baby salmon. The verdict is now in on this highly controversial experiment: It worked.#ad#In fact it has been a stunningly over-the-top success. This year, the number of salmon caught in the northeast Pacific more than quadrupled, going from 50 million to 226 million. In the Fraser River, which only once before in history had a salmon run greater than 25 million fish (about 45 million in 2010), the number of salmon increased to 72 million. George writes: The fish really came back this fall, a year following our 2012 ocean pasture restoration in the NE Pacific. The wonderful heartening news is they came back in tremendous numbers, more than in all of recorded history in many regions such as SE Alaska nearest to our ocean restoration project location. Now it is being reported that everywhere from Alaska to the lower 48, baby salmon that swam out to sea, instead of mostly starving were treated to a feast on newly vibrant ocean pastures where once they could neither thrive nor survive. They grew and grew and before too long they swam back to our rivers a hundred million strong."

More than a million tourists visit Alaska each year for rare experiences that are almost completely foreign to the other 49 states: Brilliant colors that flash across the night sky like UFOs, a soaking wet 800-pound grizzly using razor sharp talons to spear spawning salmon, or a pack of panting silver huskies pulling a sled 1,500 miles across the frozen tundra. The best time of year to visit Alaska depends on what you're hoping to see and do. Weather Fodor's recommends visiting Alaska from late May through mid-August for the fairest weather, with average temperatures between 60 and 80 degrees F. Summer brings extended daylight, with 19 hours of sunshine on June 21. Frommer's says June is the best month for dry weather and blooming flowers, although mosquitoes are out. Autumn weather patterns bring frequent rain, cool weather and clouds, with clear weather hit-or-miss. December to March is a busy time for activities and outdoor winter recreation for those bold enough to bundle up. Crowds and Prices The peak tourist season runs from July to mid-August, when hotels and places like Denali National Park are packed with people. Since operators have a short season to make their money, they charge high prices during these months. Off-season pricing doesn't begin until after Labor Day and ends before Memorial Day."

"text": "…The Thirty-Five Races of the Barn Owl The Class of Birds (called Aves) consists of 27 different orders. One of these orders, Strigiformes, contains all the worlds owls, and is divided into two families: Strigidae (the so-called true or typical owls) and Tytonidae (known as barn owls). Photo courtesy of Murray Lord Overall there are about 216 species of owls, with around 200 in the typical owl family, and 16 species in the barn owl family. The bird most typically known as the barn owl is Tyto alba, which is what we concern ourselves with here. The diversifying effect of the genetic isolation found on islands is quite evident in the subspecies of Tyto alba: of the 35 races, 20 inhabit only relatively small islands. In fact, the worldwide range of the barn owl is mostly achieved through the ranges of only 11 of its subspecies. Wherever they live, barn owls remain cavity nesters, are attracted to the structures of man, and also can be attracted to nest boxes. New World Barn Owls North American Barn Owl ( Tyto alba pratincola ): This is the barn owl of the United States and Central America. This subspecies has one of the largest ranges of any of the races. Central American Barn Owl ( T. a. guatemalae ): Takes up where pratincola leaves off–ranging through Guatemala, Nicaragua, Salvador, and Panama."

Once widely spread across Africa and Asia, interaction with humans has reduced Asian numbers to a few dozen. The largest concentrations are now found in Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Kenya, and Tanzania. Unlike the other big cats (which technically belong to the genus Panthera ), cheetahs and cougars can’t roar, as they lack the necessary two-piece thyroid bone. Instead, cheetahs chirp like birds —which is, perhaps, appropriate, given their falcon-like speed. No other cat makes a similar noise. Cheetahs also communicate heavily through purring, theoretically done through the use of a hyoid bone in the throat."

In mid January, the Great Gray Owl, and the Northern Hawk Owl arrived in large numbers to the Solana State Forest of Mc Grath, MN, where I live, as well as other areas of Northern Minnesota. The Minnesota DNR reports that the influx of owls started as early as October, caused by early ice storms and lack of sufficient prey to sustain their large population in their natural Northern Canadian habitat, this influx peaked in mid January. I became so intrigued by their peaceful presence, I found myself entranced by observing their beauty and marveling at their \"\"still hunting\"\" techniques. I spent almost every day from mid January through March outside in the snow-banks observing and photographing this \"\"once in a lifetime\"\" event, which peaked my interest in researching this species. The Great Gray Owl is also known as Sooty Owl, Great Gray Ghost, Cinerous Owl, Spectral Owl, Lapland Owl, Spruce Owl, Bearded Owl and Phantom of the North. The Native Americans called the Great Gray Owl \"\"Wa-Sha-Quon-Asin\"\", translated \"\"He Who Flies by Night\"\". Because of this species seemingly magical appearance in winter and disappearance as fast as he came, he earned the nickname \"\"Phantom of the North\"\". Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Aves Order: Strigiformes Family: Strigidae Genus: Strix (latin meaning 'screech owl') Species: nebulosa (latin meaning 'misty' or 'foggy') Description: One of the world's largest, but not heaviest owls, the Great Gray Owl is dark brownish & grey overall interspersed with bars and flecks of light grey and white. When perched, they appear very bulky because of their dense, fluffy plumage which serves as insulation."

"text": "\"Society & Culture Mythology & Folklore Why does an owl symbolize wisdom?what does it do to get this symbol1 following 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: This might give you a better understanding of owls: not all cultures see them as Wisdom, only European. In Greek mythology, the owl, and specifically the Little Owl, was often associated with the goddess Athena, a bird goddess who became associated with wisdom, the arts, and skills, and as a result, owls also became associated with wisdom. They are the unofficial mascot of the high-IQ society Mensa. The Romans, in addition to having borrowed the Greek associations of the owl (see Owl of Minerva), also considered owls to be funerary birds, due to their nocturnal activity and often having their nests in inaccessible places. As a result, seeing an owl in the daytime was considered a bad omen. For example, in Book 12 of Virgil's Aeneid, an owl appears before Turnus toward the end of his battle with Aeneas, prefiguring his death, and \"\"a strange, numbing dread/Washed through Turnus' body; his hair/Bristled with fear; his voice stuck in his throat.\"\" The vampiric strix of Roman mythology was in part based on the owl. Likewise, in Romanian culture, the mournful call of an owl is thought to predict the death of somebody living in the neighbourhood. Such superstitions caused a minor disturbance when an owl showed up at Romanian President's residence, Cotroceni Palace. In France, a difference is made between hiboux, eared owls, which are considered symbols of wisdom, and chouettes, earless owls, which are considered birds of ill omen."

The feathers making up this disc can be adjusted to sharply focus sounds from varying distances onto the owls' asymmetrically placed ear cavities.

Reproduction These large owls breed on the Arctic tundra, where females lay a clutch of 3 to 11 eggs. Clutch size depends upon the availability of food, and in particularly lean times a usually monogamous pair of owls may not breed at all. Parents are territorial and will defend their nests against all comers—even wolves. White Coloring Young owls, especially males, get whiter as they get older. Females are darker than males, with dusky spotting, and never become totally white. Some elderly males do become completely white, though many retain small flecks of dusky plumage. Hunting and Diet The snowy owl is a patient hunter that perches and waits to identify its prey before soaring off in pursuit."

While many people know a little bit about these birds of prey, some owl facts can surprise even the most experienced birders. Owl Trivia There are more than 150 species of owls in the world, and some counts indicate more than 220 species depending on how different owls are classified. The greatest owl diversity is found in Asia, and only 19 owl species are found in the United States and Canada. Owls are found in all different habitats and there are different owl species found on all continents except Antarctica. The greatest diversity of owl species is found in forested habitats, but these birds can be found anywhere prey is abundant, including urban and suburban areas. All owls have upright posture and forward-facing eyes that give them binocular vision, just like humans. Owls' eyes are not spheres, however, but are tubes that provide better depth perception and allow them to see prey from great distances. Up close an owl's vision is not as clear."

"text": "Animals / Types of Birds / Owls / Snowy Owl - White, Arctic Bird of Prey Snowy Owl - White, Arctic Bird of Prey The snowy owl is a beautiful white bird. The white plumage helps them hide in their Arctic habitat. Only the male birds are totally white, the female birds have spotted wings and the chicks are dark colored and spotty. The owls, especially the males, will get whiter and whiter with age. Females never become totally white but elderly males can be 100% white. Their feathers are also long and thick (even covering the talons) which is well-suited for the cold. The snowy owl is one of the larger owls with a length of up to 28 inches (71 cm) and weighing up to 6.5 lbs (3 kg). They are diurnal, unlike most owls, which means the majority of their activity is in the day time. The snowy owl breeds in the Arctic and a clutch can be between three and eleven eggs. The number of eggs is wholly dependent on food availability and when food is particularly sparse pairs may choose not to mate at all, thus laying no eggs."

"text": "\"All You Need to Know about Tortillas a Mexican Food Tradition TORTILLAS The most important use of corn is the one that is centuries old. Corn forms masa, the dough for tortillas and their variations and for tamales. Since antiquity, a Mexican table without tortillas is an empty table. According to ancient techniques, dried corn kernels are cooked with water and limestone until the kernel skins are soft. After standing for one day, the kernels are skinned, and the hearts are ground to form masa. Stone mortars and pestles used to do the job. Today, the process is mechanized in all but remote areas. Despite mechanization, tortillas in Mexico are far from standardized. They are made from white, yellow, blue, or red corn. They may be small -- 2 inches in diameter -- or large -- as wide as 10 inches, as are those sold in the markets of Oaxaca."

Photo by: M. O. Stevens If potassium bromate is dangerous enough to be banned all around the world, why are we still eating it here in the U. S.? Perhaps the United States is way behind the times with not banning this ingredient. Potassium bromate has been banned in many countries including the United Kingdom in 1990 and Canada in 1994 – that’s more than 19 years ago! Potassium bromate has been linked to cancer in laboratory animals, but we still use it in breads and baked goods here in the States. What is Potassium Bromate? Potassium bromate is a flour enhancer that makes dough stronger and allows for better oven spring, higher rising, and faster mixing times, according to King Arthur Flour – a company that does not use bromated flour. When used within the prescribed limits of 15-30ppm, it is cooked up in the baking process and leaves no trace in the actual bread product. However, if the recipe exceeds the appropriate amounts of potassium bromate, or if you don’t bake the bread at a high enough temperature or long enough, then there will be residual amounts of potassium bromate in the bread.

The Mesopotamians recognized the tree's versatility and value; its sweet fruit became an essential part of their diet and the palm offered \"\"three hundred and sixty\"\" uses including needles, thread, lumber, mattresses, rope, baskets and other household items; as well as food and beverage. Date Palms were planted in the Coachella Valley in the 1890s. Well, excuse me, Date Palms were planted in the Coachella Valley of California, which is approximately two hours east of Los Angeles in the early 1890s. And now, plantings cover over 6,500 plus acres. These acres produce over 40 million pounds of our four primary varieties, which are the Deglet-Noor, the Medjool, the Barhi and the Zahidi. The Coachella Valley Date industry maintains a rather steady employment base of around 2,500 people. Incredibly, the 40 million pounds I mentioned earlier is less than 15 percent of the world Date production. California and Arizona produced Dates are the best looking and best tasting in the world.

After all, they're packed with things that are really good for you: raw vegetables and fruit, (usually) grilled meats, seeds and legumes. Spread on a reasonable amount of dressing, and you've got the ticket to weight loss, right? Sadly that's not always the case. Does your salad have cheese? Croutons? Fried chicken?

"text": "Indians 101: Acorns Posted on September 7, 2011 by Ojibwa Long before the arrival of the first Europeans, California was the home to an extremely diverse variety of Indian cultures. The California culture area has the widest variety of native languages, ecological settings, and house types of any North American culture area. One of the mainstays of the diet for the region was the acorn which was used in soup, porridge, and bread. Sixteen different species of oak provided the acorns. Because of the nutrition provided by acorns, the Native American people in California did not develop agriculture. Acorns contributed to the fact that California peoples did not experience annual famine months or develop traditions or legends dealing with famine. It is estimated that among one tribe, the Yokut, a typical family consumed 1,000 to 2,000 pounds of acorns each year. While many of the early non-Indians in California noticed that the acorn oaks which were so important to many of the California Indian nations tended to grow in regular rows, they did not understand that these trees had been planted as orchards by the Indians. There are a number of steps involved in gathering and processing the acorns. They are gathered in September and October."

I was there to collaborate with some wonderful people from the Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales (Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences) at the Universidad de Buenos Aires (University of Buenos Aires). My trip started with a fairly long flight (7,124 kilometers, 4,427 miles) that left at about 10:00 p.m. from Miami, and arrived at about 7:00 the next morning in Buenos Aires. You should note that there is a 1 hour time difference between east coast time and Buenos Aires. Before I landed, I got to see the most wonderful sunrise I have ever seen. Southern Hemisphere, nothing but ocean, from about 30,000 feet (9,144 meters). I arrived at the airport, picked up my luggage, and was in turn picked up by our first contact: Patricia Kandus. Patricia kindly drove us to our hotel the Loi Suites Arenales which is a wonderful hotel in downtown Buenos Aires. There we changed clothes, and cleaned up a little bit before we visited the university. I really like the way they work down there."

Surfing on kottke.org not too long ago, we spotted a remaindered link to a recipe for what was referred to as a \"\"Spanglish Sandwich.\"\" This name is in reference to the movie \"\" Spanglish ,\"\" starring Adam Sandler and Paz Vega. In the movie, Sandler is a famous chef who owns a well-regarded California restaurant, and in one key scene in the movie he makes this sandwich for his romantic interest. We'd watched it as an in-flight movie once, which is pretty much all you need to know about the quality of the movie. As good as the sandwich looked, it couldn't save the script. Anyway, we'd forgotten about it until we spotted the remaindered link to Collective Detective, who reveal the recipe from the DVD extras, as well as the fact that the sandwich recipe was provided by none other than Thomas Keller. He personally taught Sandler how to make this sandwich for the movie. Somewhat fitting, since Sandler's background in the movie is quite similar to Keller's background (a celebrity chef who owns a highly-regarded restaurant in California). The details of the sandwich itself were tantalizing."

"text": "Penguins of Argentina Argentina is home to four species of penguin ROCKHOPPER, MACARONI, MAGELLANIC and GENTOO PENGUINS. SOUTHERN ROCKHOPPER PENGUINS are found at 15 breeding sites around Argentina and Chile, with a further 36 breeding sites in the Falkland Islands. Together they make up a total world population of around 650,000 breeding pairs. These breeding sites are all on offshore islands, with Isla Pinguino near Puerto Deseado (number 9 on the map) being the only site where tourists can see Rockhopper penguins in Chile or Argentina. Populations appear to be stable in Chile, and increasing in Argentina, due to rapid expansion of the Staten Island colony (number 4 on the map). The Falklands population has crashed by nearly 90% from 2,500,000 pairs to around 280,000 pairs, due to poor management of commercial fisheries (See Falklands Penguins Starve to Death). Rockhopper penguins abandoning the Falklands probably helps to explain the rapid increase on Staten Island. Rockhopper Penguin breeding sites in South America. MACARONI PENGUINS are found at 9 breeding sites around Argentina and Chile, all on remote offshore islands. Together they make up a total of about 12,000 breeding pairs, out of a world population of around 9 million breeding pairs."

The Galapagos Penguin is the only penguin specie that ventures north of the equator in the wild. Large penguin populations can be found in countries such as New Zealand, Australia, Chile, Argentina and South Africa. No penguins live at the North Pole. Penguins eat a range of fish and other sealife that they catch underwater. Penguins can drink sea water. Penguins spend around half their time in water and the other half on land. The Emperor Penguin is the tallest of all penguin species, reaching as tall as 120 cm (47 in) in height."

"text": "Share Antarctica is one of the most extreme, but remarkable, places on Earth. Cold, hostile and uninhabited by humans, it is home to birds and mammals such as penguins, whales and seals – many of which are found nowhere else. The continent is an island, surrounded entirely by the Southern Ocean, which is often covered in ice but is biologically rich in marine life. Critical to sustaining this unique ecosystem is krill, a small crustacean that is significant to the entire Antarctic food web. While generally not used for human consumption, krill are being caught at an increasing rate to be processed into feed for aquaculture and high value oils for nutritional supplements. Krill in the Southern Ocean are managed by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), a regional fisheries management organization comprised of 25 nations, including the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, the European Union, China, Norway and Japan. The Antarctic Krill Conservation Project is an international effort managed by Pew, to secure from CCAMLR an ecosystem-based fisheries management program for krill, which is highly precautionary, scientifically-based and protects the unique environment of the southern polar region.

"text": "Beach activities in Argentina include penguin-watching. Argentina may be better-known for its steak and red wine, but its 3,100-mile-long coastline also draws visitors to its diverse range of beach attractions. Choose from the remote coastal reserves in Patagonia or the peaceful Atlantic resorts to the busy city of Mar del Plata. To visit Argentina’s beaches, remember that the seasons are reversed in the southern hemisphere; summer is from December to February, while winter is July through September. The best time of year to visit depends on where you go, what you want to do and whether you want to avoid the crowds. Mar del Plata Argentina's most popular beach destination is the city of Mar del Plata, which is around five hours from Buenos Aires. Visit Mar del Plata in the summer, and you’ll share the sand with the up to 6 million visitors who visit every year, many of them Buenos Aires residents seeking an escape from the city. Summer is when the theaters play to packed houses, and clubs and restaurants are full. Visit outside of the non-summer months, and you are likely to find fewer crowds; however, Mar del Plata doesn’t close down in the off-season. The city has its own cultural and working life aside from tourism; for example, the Mar del Plata International Film festival takes place each November."

"text": "The World of Penguins Protecting Penguins March 24, 19970 SHARES 6 Comments Explore more from this episode Ironically, some of the factors that have so endeared penguins to people have placed their survival in jeopardy. Many penguin species, for instance, are highly social birds that breed in large colonies called rookeries. Since most healthy adult penguins fear few land predators, particularly in colder climates, they have little natural fear of people. Curious birds may waddle right up to a visitor, a behavior that has turned some penguins into favorite subjects for today’s birdwatchers and wildlife photographers. In the past, however, such behaviors made penguins easy targets for human hunters and egg gatherers, who dramatically reduced some populations. At the turn of the century, for example, egg collectors gathered more than 13 million African penguin eggs from colonies on the Cape Islands off South Africa, leading to the loss of some colonies. In 1867, one company killed 405,000 penguins from the Falkland Islands alone, rendering the birds into oil. Such hunting drove the Islands’ King Penguins to the edge of extinction. Today, the threat to penguins from hunting and egg gathering has mostly ended, though, as recently as the 1980s, one Japanese company asked the international body that governs Antarctica to be allowed to harvest Antarctic penguins for oil, meat, and skins (to be turned into high-fashion golf gloves). Luckily for the penguins, the company was turned down."

"text": "\"Penguins Fall Over Watching Planes Are Falkland Island penguins so fascinated by airplanes they fall over onto their backs from watching them?0Claim: Penguins fall over onto their backs while trying to observe airplanes flying overhead. Status: False. Example: [Collected on the Internet, 1994]A Mexican newspaper reports that bored Royal Air Force pilots stationed on the Falkland Islands have devised what they consider a marvelous new game. Noting that the local penguins are fascinated by airplanes, the pilots search out a beach where the birds are gathered and fly slowly along it at the water’s edge. Perhaps ten thousand penguins turn their heads in unison watching the planes go by, and when the pilots turn around and fly back, the birds turn their heads in the opposite direction, like spectators at a slow-motion tennis match. Then, the paper reports, “The pilots fly out to sea and directly to the penguin colony and overfly it. Heads go up, up, up, and ten thousand penguins fall over gently onto their backs.— Audubon Society Magazine Origins: This tale about bemused penguins and the pilots who toy with them has been part of Internet lore since 1994, but a 1985 sighting of the legend long predates that. The attribution of the piece to the Audubon Society’s magazine is understandable — one figures anything to do with wild birds would be found there, as did whoever formed this story into a bit of lore. People find the story plausible because it’s easy to anthropomorphize penguins: They stand upright, they walkrather than fly, and some of their actions seem distinctly human-like."

This theory states that throughout the Paleozoic Era and the Mesozoic Era, South American and Africa shared the same land. It is because of this fact that modern-day Africa and South America share many of the same fossils and rock types. Historians believe that the earliest inhabitants of South American land were people who had crossed over from the Bering Strait to reach North America. Over the years, these humans eventually settled in South America. There are some anthropological signs that point back to humans inhabiting South America since at least the year 9000 BCE. Throughout South America's early history of human inhabitants, it was widely an agrarian society, meaning that its residents survived off of the land, using staples such as fish and beans for food. Animals like llamas and alpacas were also domesticated around this time. From this agrarian society, early civilizations were born. Out of the settlements that we are today aware of, the earliest ones were in what is today modern day Peru."

There is no doubt that many popular penguin species live on ice flows and survive on fish captured in chilly southern waters. However, there are many penguins that live and/or breed in much warmer conditions. Here a few that I have been fortunate to encounter during my many worldwide travels: Galapagos Penguin (Spheniscus mendiculus)This small penguin lives only in the Galapagos Archipelago, 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador in South America. It is the only penguin found north of the Equator. It survives in Galapagos only because of the cold waters of the Humboldt and Cromwell Currents.

You may be looking for an adventure sports vacation, a nature-spotting penguin boat trip or a specialist Patagonia photography tour, so what works for one person may not be ideal for the next. And don’t forget, Patagonia is not a small place, covering 1,043,076 square kilometres of southern Chile and Argentina, so it stands to reason that conditions can vary dramatically across the vast expanse of grassy plains, toothy mountains, mammoth glaciers and fathomless forests. It is, however, still possible to discover the best time to visit Patagonia for you and your trip using our easy guide below!For the weather It’s something of an accepted fact that the best time to visit Patagonia is during the peak summer months of December to February, but that’s not necessarily true. Summer is the warmest time of year, of course, with average high temperatures of around 15°C but it’s also the time of year when Patagonia’s infamous winds are at their strongest and can reach over 120 miles an hour. Spring and fall are slightly cooler, but the winds - while still potentially wild - tend to be less severe. And although some of Patagonia’s most popular hiking trails and multi-day treks are inaccessible in winter, many people consider that winter is one of the most picturesque times of year for a Patagonia day hike, so we wouldn’t automatically rule it out."

There are species that can live in extremely cold conditions and those that live in much warmer regions. Some can live in Antarctica where conditions make it very hard for very many types of creatures to survive at all. There are also those that live in very temperate areas such as the Galapagos Islands – home to the Galapagos Penguins. The habitat and distribution of penguins seems to be very widespread due to their adaptability. They have a body that is covered with feathers, offering them protection from the water and from the cold air. What is very interesting about the distribution of penguins is their size. Studies show that the Bergmann’s Rule does apply here. At the higher latitudes, you have the larger sized penguins. At the lower latitudes, you have those that are significantly smaller in size."

These birds have become highly adapted to aquatic life and can spend as much as half of their lives swimming around in the ocean. There are currently estimated to be as many as 20 species of penguin in existence today. Physical Characteristics The wings of penguins have been transformed into flippers which allows them to swim through the water easily and effortlessly. Unlike other species of bird penguins however are not capable of flying. When traveling on land their tail and flippers help them maintain stability as they waddle across the surface. All species have black backs and flippers and white fronts. It is believed that this coloring allows them to blend in with their environment and avoid being attacked by predators when they are in the water."

During the same period, a few individual breeders in other parts of the United States and Canada were also carrying on private experimental breeding programs. They were looking for a desirable beef-type animal that would retain the Brahman’s natural ability to thrive under adverse conditions in combination with the excellent qualities for which the Angus is noted. The Brangus breed was developed to utilize the superior traits of Angus and Brahman cattle. Their genetics are stabilized at 3/8 Brahman and 5/8 Angus.

"text": "\"Ron Sterbenz, Avid Japanese Show Koi Collector, Founder of the Upper Midwest Koi Club Answered Aug 30, 2016 · Author has 340 answers and 507.9k answer views In Japanese culture, the koi carp is a highly respected and very symbolic fish that is closely tied to the country’s national identity. The koi carp is thought to be a symbol of luck, prosperity, and good fortune within Japan. The name “koi” itself is Japanese and simply means “carp” in the Japanese language. Koi carp were first produced in Japan during the 1920’s, in the town of Ojiya in the Niigata Prefecture, located on the Northeast coast of Honshu Island. The wider world was not introduced to the koi carp until the early part of the 20th century, when selectively bred koi from the Niigata Prefecture were first exhibited at the annual exposition in Tokyo. Interest in koi carp as an ornamental fish quickly spread across Europe and the rest of the world, with all but one of our modern Nishikigoi koi varieties having developed from the small number of ornamental koi originally bred on the Niigata Prefecture. Perseverance Firstly, the koi signifies perseverance, due to the fish’s tendency to swim upstream, never stop moving, and resist simply “going with the flow.” This symbolism represents how a person can remain strong in the face of adversity, never give up, and develop strength of character, purpose and ultimate success through perseverance. Strength The koi is a common symbol of strength and steadfastness in the face of adversity, and the much-admired trait of remaining strong when faced with poor odds. The imagery of koi swimming upriver is often used to symbolize the overcoming of obstacles, and ultimate victory in the face of adversity."

"text": "When a plant or animal is bred with a plant or animal from different stock, the process is known as hybridization. There are numerous reasons to create hybrids, including increasing genetic diversity and breeding for specific traits. It is frequently practiced in agriculture, to make stronger, healthier plants with desirable characteristics. Animal breeders also use the process to create new breeds or to try to breed out unwanted traits, such as hip dysplasia in some purebred dogs. The most common type of hybridization involves crossing two organisms of different breeds within the same species. This is also called crossbreeding. In agriculture, it is used to create healthier crops or new flavors, such as the tangelo, a cross between a tangerine and a pomelo. In agriculture, it is vitally important to maintain genetic diversity, and by extension the health and longevity of a crop. Many large agricultural companies engage in monocropping, planting only one strain of one crop, which is very harmful for diversity and for the plant. Should the crop be susceptible to a particular fungus or insect, the whole field will be lost."

Stephen Coles, a lecturer in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of California, Los Angeles, and co-founder of the Gerontology Research Group. Everybody wants to go down in history, he says. Since 1990, the Gerontology Research Group has assumed the role of record keepers for the world’s supercentenarians, or persons older than 110. Previously, research groups, individual countries and private hobbyists tracked supercentenarians for studies or for census purposes, or simply out of personal interest."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Bilateral features in the face and body, such as left and right eyes, ears, wrists and thighs, often show some extent of fluctuating asymmetry. Some individuals show greater asymmetry than others. As a form of biological asymmetry, fluctuating asymmetry ( FA ), along with anti-symmetry and direction asymmetry, refers to small, random deviations away from perfect bilateral symmetry. [ 1] [2] This deviation from perfection is thought to reflect the genetic and environmental pressures experienced throughout development, with greater pressures resulting in higher levels of asymmetry. [ 1] Examples of FA in the human body include unequal sizes (asymmetry) of bilateral features in the face and body, such as left and right eyes, ears, wrists, breasts, testicles, and thighs. Research has exposed multiple factors that are associated with FA. As measuring FA can indicate developmental stability, it can also suggest the genetic fitness of an individual. This can further have an effect on mate attraction and sexual selection, as less asymmetry reflects greater developmental stability and subsequent fitness. [ 3] Human physical health is also associated with FA. For example, young men with greater FA report more medical conditions than those with lower levels of FA. ["

"text": "\"senescencedefinition : senescence Senescence () or biological aging (also spelled biological ageing) is the gradual deterioration of function characteristic of most complex lifeforms, arguably found in all biological kingdoms, that on the level of the organism increases mortality after maturation. The word senescence can refer either to cellular senescence or to senescence of the whole organism. It is commonly believed that cellular senescence underlies organismal senescence. The science of biological aging is biogerontology. Senescence is not the inevitable fate of all organisms and can be delayed. The discovery, in 1934, that calorie restriction can extend lifespan by 50% in rats, and the existence of species having negligible senescence and potentially immortal species such as Hydra, have motivated research into delaying and preventing senescence and thus age-related diseases. Organisms of some taxonomic groups, including some animals, experience chronological decrease in mortality, for all or part of their life cycle. On the other extreme are accelerated aging diseases, rare in humans. There is also the extremely rare and poorly understood \"\"Syndrome X,\"\" whereby a person remains physically and mentally an infant or child throughout one's life. Even if environmental factors do not cause aging, they may affect it; in such a way, for example, overexposure to ultraviolet radiation accelerates skin aging."

"text": "Tortoise Animal Totem Symbolism & Meanings Hannah Foreman Leave a comment Facebook Twitter Google + Pinterest Tortoise Animal Totem Symbolism The tortoise animal totem lives its life in a slow and steady manner. Because of the simple ways that the tortoise or turtle totem acts, it has inspired stories and symbolism in many cultures all around the world. In some places, the story of the tortoise and the hare is simply a morality tale, while in other countries the tortoise is seen as being like a god, or at least a symbol for a god. The tortoise’s wise looks, old age, and slow pace has encouraged symbolism of itself in many different ways which makes them a highly interesting animal totem. Let’s begin with some simple tortoise animal spirit facts that encourage some of the symbolism surrounding the animal. Although it might be obvious, tortoises don’t actually do all that much. They are not extremely cunning predators or overwhelmingly vulnerable prey. Instead, the tortoise eats only few insects and animals, and they have very little real predators. They do not run into or out of danger, but instead keep more of less of the same slow pace for their whole lives. Just as well, the tortoise spiritual totem’s life is not quick to an end, but instead tortoises have been known to live for more than a hundred years at a time."

It has a highly unusual set of physical traits that enable it to thrive in an otherwise harsh underground environment; it is the only mammalian thermoconformer, almost entirely ectothermic (cold-blooded) in how it regulates body temperature. [ 6]The mole rat lacks pain sensitivity in its skin, and has very low metabolic and respiratory rates. While formerly considered to belong to the same family as other African mole-rats, the Bathyergidae, more recent investigation places the naked mole-rat in a separate family, Heterocephalidae.

Your laptop swallows hours of work with the deadline right around the corner. An innocent mistake in your math causes your bank account balance to dip down into negative numbers. Everyday glitches like these are impossible to avoid: We all have bad days and we all have very, very bad days. Sometimes we have entire weeks or months that are truly awful. But most of the time, the impact on our daily life is temporary. The tire gets fixed, the work shows up miraculously when we restart the computer, we're able to transfer enough from savings to avoid an overdraft fee and all is well. However, life's curveballs can have a significant effect on long-term health and well-being, depending on how we deal with them. Research shows that overreacting, constantly worrying, and living in a state of perpetual anxiety can reduce life expectancy.

Continued education programs and an abundance of online resources help cattlemen stay well informed. Record keeping practices have improved and cattlemen have a good handle on the costs associated with their operation. Tightening margins have forced producers to further evaluate the management plan, running through many different scenarios to find the best production model. For some this was a real eye-opener, for others it reinforced the approach they were taking to manage the herd for a profit. A genetic base complete with a bundle of traits also played a key role in the success of the operation. Many cattlemen have argued with neighbors and colleagues until they were blue in the face over their point of view; however, most will agree longevity built into the female is a definite advantage for most outfits. “Every year I can keep a cow it cuts my costs $1,500. Because that's what it costs to get a female into production,” says James Henderson, Bradley 3 Ranch, LTD, Memphis, Texas. “Operations have to be profit driven."

Gerontology, the study of the aging process, is devoted to the understanding and control of all factors contributing to the finitude of individual life. It is not concerned exclusively with debility, which looms so large in human experience, but deals with a much wider range of phenomena. Every species has a life history in which the individual life span has an appropriate relationship to the reproductive life span and to the mechanism of reproduction and the course of development. How these relationships evolved is as germane to gerontology as it is to evolutionary biology. It is also important to distinguish between the purely physicochemical processes of aging and the accidental organismic processes of disease and injury that lead to death."

METHODSA telephone review was undertaken of all units identified by the National Hip Fracture Database as receiving centres for hip fractures across England to ascertain current practice in the use of hip precautions. A prospective audit of occupational therapy (OT) practice including the cost of equipment provision and OT time was carried out locally. RESULTSAll 174 units in England were successfully contacted. Practice varied between centres but hip precautions were in use at 78% of centres. Prior to stopping hip precautions at the local hospital, we audited the costs associated with their use. Mean equipment costs per patient decreased by £12 (from £49 to £37, range: £0–£83) and mean OT time per patient decreased by 1.5 hours (from 8 hours to 6.5 hours, range: 1–22 hours) following removal of hip precaution guidelines. A mean of 0.25 days' discharge delay (range: 0–4 days) due to equipment provision was identified prior to removing hip precautions with no discharge delay following."

"text": "Shoulder Hemiarthroplasty Deltopectoral approach The deltopectoral approach [ 7, 31] is the most commonly used approach for shoulder arthroplasty. It provides excellent humeral exposure and preserves the deltoid origin, making it an ideal approach for hemiarthroplasty. The approach begins with identification of the coracoid process. A 10- to 15-cm incision is made from the distal tip of the coracoid process towards the deltoid insertion on the humerus. The cephalic vein is identified and dissected free of its pectoral attachment. The internervous plane is developed by retracting the deltoid and cephalic vein laterally and the pectoralis major medially. The fibrous clavipectoral fascia is incised longitudinally, lateral to the conjoint tendon of the short head of the biceps and the coracobrachialis. If adequate exposure is not attainable with medial retraction of the conjoint tendon, the coracoid may be osteotomized prior to medial retraction and later reduced. Keeping the arm adducted during this step reduces risk of injury to the axillary sheath. Avoiding excessive retraction of the conjoint tendon minimizes risk of musculocutaneous nerve neuropraxia."

The ball is the top of the arm bone (the humerus), and the socket (glenoid fossa) is part of the shoulder blade (scapula). The shoulder joint is an amazing joint in that it allows more mobility than any other joint in the body. When shoulder joints have problems, including arthritis and fractures, both pain and disability can occur. There are a number of situations that may require all or part of the shoulder to be replaced. The most common is shoulder arthritis. Arthritis can cause the smooth cartilage lining of the shoulder joint to wear away, exposing bone. Shoulder arthritis is often painful and limits shoulder function. The other common reason to replace a shoulder is a shoulder fracture. Often when the bone around the shoulder joint is broken, the best option is to replace, rather than try to repair the bone."

In a hip hemiarthroplasty the top of the thigh bone (femur) is replaced by a metal implant. The hip joint is a ball and socket joint. The socket is formed by a cup in the pelvis, known as the acetabulum. The ball of the joint is formed by the head of the thigh bone (femur). The top part of the thighbone, just below the head, is called the neck of the femur. A hip hemiarthroplasty may be required if the neck of the femur has been fractured, particularly if the break is close to the hip joint. If the fracture is very close to the hip joint, the blood supply to the head of the femur may be disrupted. In this case, even if the fracture healed, the head of the femur will just crumble away due to lack of blood supply."

You would require a total hip replacement surgery if you suffer from the following: Osteoarthritis, known as wear-and-tear arthritis is a degenerative joint disease that is seen with aging, congenital abnormality of the hip joint, or prior trauma to the hip-joint. It occurs when cartilage present on the end of bone begins wearing away, leading to pain and stiffness. When the cartilage wears off completely, the bones rub directly against each other causing decreased mobility and chronic pain. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, in which the synovial membrane becomes inflamed. This membrane then produces excessive synovial fluid, damaging the articular cartilage. Traumatic arthritis results from a serious hip injury or fracture."

Pain and weakness were the primary complaints. Point tenderness was present in all but two hands. Significant loss of grasp and pinch strength was noted in 18 hands, and loss of wrist motion occurred in 16 hands. Roentgenographic findings included narrowing of the scaphotrapezial trapezoidal joint space, subarticular cortical sclerosis, and cyst formation. A dorsiflexed position of the scaphoid, with a scapholunate angle of less than 45°, was noted in 38 of the 45 hands. Late collapse of the intercarpal joint with dorsiflexion instability of the lunate also was noted. Twenty-nine hands were treated conservatively by protective splints, corticosteroid injections, and avoidance of exacerbating activities. Surgical treatments consisted of fibrous arthroplasty (four), silicone interposition arthroplasty (six), trapezial replacement arthroplasty (three), arthrodesis (five), joint debridement (one), and trapezial excision (one). Late results were more encouraging than were early results and were moderately satisfactory for each method."

Regional anesthesia to numb your arm and shoulder area so that you do not feel any pain in this area. If you receive only regional anesthesia, you will also be given medicine to help you relax during the operation. The shoulder is a ball and socket joint. The round end of the arm bone fits into the opening at the end of the shoulder blade, called the socket. This type of joint allows you to move your arm in most directions. For total shoulder replacement, the round end of your arm bone will be replaced with an artificial stem that has a rounded metal head. The socket part (glenoid) of your shoulder blade will be replaced with a smooth plastic shell (lining) that will be held in place with special cement. If only 1 of these 2 bones needs to be replaced, the surgery is called a partial shoulder replacement, or a hemiarthroplasty."

Conditions that may damage the hip, necessitating a hip replacement, include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, posttraumatic arthritis, hip fracture, avascular necrosis/osteonecrosis, a bone tumor, and childhood hip disease. The goal of replacement surgery is to relieve pain and restore mobility and function of the damaged hip joint. In a total hip replacement (ICD-9-CM code 81.51), the femoral head is removed and replaced with a metal stem, which is placed into the center of the femur, and a metal or ceramic ball. The “socket” part of the acetabulum is removed and replaced with a metal socket. A plastic, ceramic, or metal spacer (also called a liner or insert) is placed between the new femoral head and socket to allow for a smooth surface. Physicians often use the terms “arthroplasty” and “replacement” interchangeably. Arthroplasty is simply defined as the repair of a joint."

The Basics: Check Out the Op Report Be on the lookout for operative reports that look like the following note, which describes the new shoulder resurfacing hemiarthroplasty procedure: -We externally rotated and extended the arm, delivering the humeral head into the wound, and removed the prearticular osteophytes with a rongeur. We placed the trial humeral head into position and inserted a K-wire through the central portion of the humeral head and out the lateral humeral cortex. -We then used the appropriate-size reverse reamer to remove the articular cartilage from the humeral head down to bleeding cancellous bone. We then used the reamer to make the opening for the post for the Copeland prosthesis. -We irrigated the entire humeral head with copious amounts of normal saline. We then impacted the appropriate-size Copeland humeral head resurfacing prosthesis onto the humeral head."

"text": "Shoulder Hemiarthroplasty/ Humeral Head Resurfacing Denver What is a Shoulder Hemiarthroplasty? A shoulder hemiarthroplasty, also known as a humeral head resurfacing or partial replacement, is a shoulder replacement where only the humerus portion of the shoulder joint is replaced and the glenoid portion is not changed. Surgeons typically recommend a partial shoulder replacement rather than a traditional total shoulder in patients that have a good amount of cartilage remaining on the glenoid bone, a severe loss of bone on the glenoid, or for younger and more physically active individuals that would be at risk for the glenoid component loosening prematurely due to their activity level. Shoulder hemiarthroplasties are also done in patients that have severe fractures of the humeral head but have no loss of cartilage on the glenoid. What Can I Expect after Surgery? Most shoulder replacement patients will spend one to two nights in the hospital to work on gentle range of motion with a physical therapist, activities of daily living (dressing, showering, etc) with an occupational therapist, and to find an adequate pain medication regimen. The majority of shoulder replacement patients go home after leaving the hospital but some require a short stay at a rehabilitation facility if they will not have enough support at home after discharge. Case managers evaluate each patient’s situation and will arrange any home care that may be necessary. Most surgeons will have their patients wear a sling for at least the first few weeks after surgery. The incision is typically in the front of the shoulder and is usually around six to eight inches long."

"text": "Neck of femur fractures (NOF) are common injuries sustained by older patients who are both more likely to have unsteadiness of gait and reduced bone mineral density, predisposing to fracture. Elderly osteoporotic women are at greatest risk. Epidemiology It is anticipated that the total number of hip fractures will exceed 6 million people in 2014 4. In patients aged between 65 and 99, femoral neck and intertrochanteric fractures occur with approximately the same frequency 7. Pathology Classification Femoral neck fractures are a subset of proximal femoral fractures . The femoral neck is the weakest part of the femur. Since disruption of blood supply to the femoral head is dependant on the type of fracture and causes significant morbidity, diagnosis and classification of these fractures is important. Neck of femur fractures are considered intracapsular fractures (also called proximal femoral fractures ). Intracapsular fractures include:subcapital: femoral head/neck junctiontranscervical: midportion of femoral neckbasicervical: base of femoral neck Further, severity of a subcapital fracture is graded by the Garden classification of hip fractures. Mechanism Most commonly 9:falls in the elderlysignificant trauma (e.g. motor vehicle collisions) in younger patients In elderly patients, the mechanism of injury various from falls directly onto the hip to a twisting mechanism in which the patient’s foot is planted and the body rotates."

"text": "Hemiarthroplasty for Fracture (Neer Type)Neer developed a four-segment classification system, -which remains the standard for the evaluation and treatment of these injuries. A displaced fragment is defined as one with displacement of more than 1 cm or angulation of more than 45 degrees (Fig. 18-1). The radiographs must be adequate to identify the precise location of the lesser tuberosity, greater tuberosity, humeral shaft, and humeral head segments. These can usually be seen on three standard views: anteroposterior, lateral scapular, and axillary view, the so-called trauma series. If there is any doubt as to the localization of these fragments—there sometimes can be difficulty in elderly osteoporotic or the fat patients—then computed tomography (CT) scan can be extremely helpful. It is assumed that a humeral head devoid of muscle attachment (i.e. through the tuberosities) is also devoid of blood supply and hence has a high chance of developing avascular necrosis. Many methods of internal fixation of proximal humeral fractures have been described, but the above techniques are usually best used when residual unfractured tuberosity or soft tissue are adequate to enable the surgeon to determine that the remaining blood supply to the humeral head is adequate. The articular surface of the humeral head may be involved in the fracture anatomy (i.e., head split fracture) or may be separated from its blood supply as in a four-part fracture. Occasionally, the bone may be of such poor quality that rigid internal fixation is impossible, and reconstruction of the proximal fracture may be better done around a rigid prosthetic scaffold."

Treatment: Initial conservative treatment consists of analgesics, ROM exercises, Corticosteroid injection into the joint Arthroscopic debridement can be done which consists of loose body removal, chondroplasty and capsular release Arthroscopic debridement is most likely to benefit patients with mild glenohumeral arthritis, small lesions, and involvement of only one side of the glenohumeral joint. Arthroscopy is preferred in younger patients to prolong the need for a shoulder arthroplasty Contraindications to arthroscopic debridement include older patients with global arthritis who are candidates for shoulder arthroplasty, marked posterior glenoid wear (or nonconcentric wear), severe joint contracture and bone loss on the humeral side. Arthroscopic Glenoidplasty: reestablishing the normal radius of curvature of the glenoid so that the humeral head is centered in the glenoid, especially in patients with posterior glenoid wear who are susceptible to posterior glenohumeral subluxation. Humeral head resurfacing (hemi and total)appears to be promising because the bone stock is preserved. Long term outcome studies are not yet available for this procedure.– Pre requisites for shoulder resurfacing include adequate proximal humeral bone stock to support the short peg and implant– Obtaining proper lateral offset is the key, since it helps the rotator cuff to function properly– Patient selection is important: motion should be relatively well preserved and there should be minimal/centralized glenoid wear (without posterior static subluxation or concavity)Hemiarthroplasty and Total Shoulder Arthroplasty relieves chronic pain."

As a result of degeneration of the articular cartilage the ends of the two bones rub together and form bony growths (osteophytes). The shoulder is a 'ball-and-socket' joint. The shoulder joint is also called as glenohumeral joint, the joint formed by gelnoid and humerus bones. The shoulder joint is formed when a 'ball' at the top of the upper arm bone, humerus, fits neatly into a 'socket', the glenoid, which is part of the shoulder blade. Glenohumeral DJD is most often seen in people over 50 years. It can also develop after an injury or trauma to the shoulder. The condition may also be hereditary. A person with glenohumeral DJD is likely to have tenderness and shoulder pain that aggravates during activity. Swelling of the joint may also be seen."

Shoulder osteoarthritis can affect a person's range of movement and daily life. Osteoarthritis is the 'wear and tear' form of arthritis affecting the joints. The shoulder is made up of two joints, the acromioclavicular (AC) joint and the glenohumeral joint, also called scapulothoracic joint. The AC joint is the point where the collarbone (clavicle) meets the acromion, which is the tip of the shoulder bone. The glenohumeral joint is the point where the top of the arm bone, or humerus, meets the shoulder blade, or scapula. Osteoarthritis is more commonly found in the AC joint. Who gets osteoarthritis of the shoulder? Osteoarthritis most often occurs in people who are over 50 years old. In younger people osteoarthritis can result from an injury or trauma such as a fractured or dislocated shoulder."

It is a rare disorder present at birth that results in a number of physical, mental, and behavioral problems. A key feature of Prader-Willi syndrome is a constant sense of hunger that usually begins at about 2 years of age. People with Prader-Willi syndrome want to eat constantly because they never feel full (hyperphagia) and usually have trouble controlling their weight. Many complications of Prader-Willi syndrome are due to obesity. If you or your child has Prader-Willi syndrome, a team of specialists can work with you to manage symptoms, reduce the risk of developing complications, and improve quality of life. Prader-Willi occurs in approximately one of every 12,000-15,000 people, in both boys and girls, and in people of all ethnic backgrounds. Prader-Willi syndrome is usually diagnosed by the appearance and behaviors of a child, then confirmed by specialized genetic testing of a blood sample. Although rare, Prader-Willi syndrome is the most common genetic cause of obesity.

These errors in the number or structure of chromosomes can cause a wide variety of birth defects ranging from mild to severe. Some chromosomal abnormalities result in miscarriage or stillbirth. What causes chromosomal abnormalities? Chromosomal abnormalities usually result from an error that occurred when an egg or sperm cell was developing."

"text": "Description Prader-Willi syndrome is a complex genetic condition that affects many parts of the body. In infancy, this condition is characterized by weak muscle tone (hypotonia), feeding difficulties, poor growth, and delayed development. Beginning in childhood, affected individuals develop an insatiable appetite, which leads to chronic overeating (hyperphagia) and obesity. Some people with Prader-Willi syndrome, particularly those with obesity, also develop type 2 diabetes (the most common form of diabetes). People with Prader-Willi syndrome typically have mild to moderate intellectual impairment and learning disabilities. Behavioral problems are common, including temper outbursts, stubbornness, and compulsive behavior such as picking at the skin. Sleep abnormalities can also occur. Additional features of this condition include distinctive facial features such as a narrow forehead, almond-shaped eyes, and a triangular mouth; short stature; and small hands and feet. Some people with Prader-Willi syndrome have unusually fair skin and light-colored hair. Both affected males and affected females have underdeveloped genitals."

"text": "\"Causes Prader-Willi syndrome is caused by a genetic defect on chromosome number 15. Genes contain the instructions for making a human being. They're made up of DNA and packaged into strands called chromosomes. A person has 2 copies of all their genes, which means chromosomes come in pairs. Humans have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). One of the chromosomes that belongs to pair number 15 is abnormal in Prader-Willi syndrome. Around 70% of cases of Prader-Willi syndrome are the result of missing genetic information from the copy of chromosome 15 inherited from the father. This defect is referred to as \"\"paternal deletion\"\". Paternal deletion is thought to occur entirely by chance, so it's practically unheard of to have more than 1 child with Prader-Willi syndrome caused by paternal deletion. However, if Prader-Willi syndrome is caused by a different type of problem with chromosome 15, there's a very small chance you could have another child with the syndrome."

Floppiness Floppiness caused by weak muscles is usually noticed shortly after birth. The medical name for this is hypotonia. Hypotonia can mean your baby:doesn't have a full range of movementhas a weak cryhas poor reflexescan't suck properly, which means they may have feeding difficulties and be underweight until the age of 1, and may need to be fed with a feeding tube (see managing Prader-Willi syndrome)Poor sexual development Baby boys may have an abnormally small penis, and one or both testicles may still be inside their abdomen (undescended testicles). Baby girls will also have underdeveloped genitalia. Children with Prader-Willi syndrome experience puberty later than usual and may not go through full development into an adult. For example:boys may still have a high-pitched voice, and may not have much facial and body hairgirls often won't start their periods until they're in the 30s, and their breasts won't fully develop – when periods do occur, they're usually irregular and very light It's almost unknown for either men or women with Prader-Willi syndrome to have children. They are usually infertile because the testicles and ovaries do not develop normally. However, sexual activity is usually possible, particularly if sex hormones are replaced. Distinctive features Children with Prader-Willi syndrome have several distinctive features, including:almond-shaped eyescrossed eyesa narrow forehead at the templesnarrow bridge of the nosea thin upper lip and a downturned mouthunusually fair hair, skin and eyessmall hands and feet These features are usually noticed at or shortly after birth."

PWS affects males and females with equal frequency and affects all races and ethnicities. PWS is recognized as the most common genetic cause of life-threatening childhood obesity. PWS was first described by Swiss doctors Andrea Prader, Alexis Labhart, and Heinrich Willi in 1956 based on the clinical characteristics of nine children they examined. The common characteristics defined in the initial report included small hands and feet, abnormal growth and body composition (small stature, very low lean body mass, and early-onset childhood obesity), hypotonia (weak muscles) at birth, insatiable hunger, extreme obesity, and intellectual disability. PWS results from an abnormality of chromosome 15, and definitive diagnosis is now based on genetic testing. Download the What Is PWS? Fact Sheet Email *What are the symptoms of Prader-Willi syndrome?

Nowadays premarital testing is considered an important issue, as a result of the increasing in the number of children affected with genetic or blood transmitted diseases. Importance of Premarital Screening He reditary disease, specially or specifically sickle cell disease and to a lesser extent thalassemia, are present with a high prevalence in Gulf and caused great suffering of the children. Since the 1950s, Arab countries have made progress in some health related aspects such as: infant mortality, life expectancy, and access to health care. Data from industrialized countries show that significant genetic diseases or birth defects that may affect approximately 3% of all pregnancies, account for up to 30% of pediatric hospital admissions, and cause about 50% of childhood deaths. In addition, recessively inherited disorders account for less than 20% of single gene disorders and less than 5% of congenital and genetic diseases (Alwan and Modell, 1997). On the other hand, genetic and congenital disorders are responsible for a considerable proportion of perinatal and neonatal mortalities in Arab populations. Considering the facts, recently premarital screening has been made mandatory by the Ministry of Health, UAE and all couples should go through the screening process before getting married. The couples need to provide certifcate stamped by the department of states of premarital screening to the court to proceed with the wedding. Premarital screening mainly aimed at reducing the number of children with inherited diseases."

Causes of Prader-Willi syndrome Prader-Willi syndrome is caused by a fault in a group of genes on chromosome number 15. This fault leads to a number of problems and is thought to affect part of the brain called the hypothalamus, which produces hormones and regulates growth and appetite. This may explain some of the typical features of Prader-Willi syndrome, such as delayed growth and persistent hunger. The genetic mistake happens purely by chance, and boys and girls of all ethnic backgrounds can be affected. It's extremely rare for parents to have more than one child with Prader-Willi syndrome. Diagnosing Prader-Willi syndrome Prader-Willi syndrome can usually be confirmed by carrying out genetic testing.

One of the most remarkable and novel discoveries in the last 400 years was electricity. We might ask, “Has electricity been around that long?” The answer is yes, and perhaps much longer. Its practical use has only been at our disposal since the mid to late 1800s, and in a limited way at first. Some of the earliest public works gaining attention were streets lights in Berlin in 1882, lighting up the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893 with 250,000 light bulbs, and illuminating a bridge over the river Seine during the Paris 1900 World Fair. The use of electricity may go back further. While constructing a railway in 1936 near Baghdad, workers uncovered what appeared to be a prehistoric battery, also known as the Parthian Battery. The object dates back to the Parthian empire and is believed to be 2,000 years old."

S. transportation system primarily relies on oil to transport people and goods from one place to another. Yet the transportation sector faces risks such as uncertain oil supplies and price volatility. The U. S. Energy Information Administration estimates that 76 percent of all the oil consumed in the U. S. is used for transportation and, within the transportation sector, the fuel mix is far from diverse. Approximately 92 percent of the fuel used in the transportation sector comes from petroleum. Many states are working to increase the use of alternative fuels such as electricity, natural gas, hydrogen and biofuels to diversify the fuels used in the transportation sector as well as support greater energy security, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and provide price stability. Electricity may play a significant role in meeting these goals. Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are powered by electricity produced primarily by domestic sources such as coal, natural gas, nuclear and renewable sources. Powering vehicles by using domestic energy sources helps states diversify the transportation fuel mix and increase the use of local energy resources. According to the U. S. Department of Energy, at least 25 plug-in electric vehicle models are currently available in the U. S. and more than 600,000 plug-in electric vehicles have been sold in the U. S. Consumers and fleets need access to affordable, convenient charging stations at home, at work, or in public areas. While access to charging stations has previously been an issue for consumers considering purchasing PEVs, manufacturers, automakers, utilities and state and federal agencies are rapidly expanding the network of stations."

The Mumbles Railway Act was passed by the British Parliament in 1804, and this first horse-drawn passenger tramway started operating in 1807. [ 1] It was worked by steam from 1877, and then, from 1929, by very large (106-seater) electric tramcars, until closure in 1961. The first streetcar in America, developed by John Stephenson, began service in the year 1832. [ 2] This was the New York and Harlem Railroad 's Fourth Avenue Line which ran along the Bowery and Fourth Avenue in New York City. These trams were an animal railway, usually using horses and sometimes mules to haul the cars, usually two as a team. Rarely, other animals were tried, including humans in emergency circumstances. It was followed in 1835 by New Orleans, Louisiana, which is the oldest continuously operating street railway system in the world, according to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. ["

"text": "Article Hugo Griffiths Sep 25, 2017facebook twitter google+ email10With the UK’s charging infrastructure growing at a rapid rate, here’s what you need to know about charging stations Electric cars and plug-in hybrids are more popular and better developed than they’ve ever been and the number of public charging stations is growing by the day. As a relatively new technology, however, there’s still some confusion over the different types of charging station available, while the terminology bandied about can be confusing. This guide sets out what you need to know about charging stations clearly and with as little jargon as possible. While it’s aimed primarily at those interested in purely electric cars (EVs) the information contained here will be of use to those after a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), too. What is a charging station?10No concrete definition exists for charging stations, but in practical terms, a collection of two or more individual charging points amounts to a ‘station’. Don’t expect the full petrol-station forecourt experience, though: often a charging station will exist in the corner of a motorway services car park, or in a section of a shopping centre’s or town centre’s multi-storey. Individual companies such as IKEA have also teamed up with charging station providers, so in all likelihood if you find a charging station, amenities such as loos and shops will likely be close by.

That means motorway service stations provide the most logical sites for charging stations, as EV owners tend to only need to us public charging points on longer journeys."

"text": "\"Here’s what you should know about charging a long-range electric vehicle. With the impending late-2016 arrival of the Chevrolet Bolt EV and the expected late-2017 arrival of the Tesla Model 3, affordable long-range battery electric vehicles are an option for increasing numbers of American drivers. But most prospective owners are confused about how they'll charge their electric vehicles, and where, and how long it will take, and how much range they'll get between charges and how much the electricity is going to cost them. Their confusion is about more than a lack of familiarity with new technology. The EV charging infrastructure is a fractured, multifaceted monster, involving competing or even conflicting charging systems and equipment, and it is rife with complicated pricing schemes. An EV owner charging at home on a regular 110-volt wall plug in one part of the city may pay an entirely different rate than another owner charging the same kind of vehicle, on the same kind of outlet, in a different part of the same city. Rates will vary depending upon which utility the consumer uses, what rate plans are available and what time of day (or night) the vehicle is being charged. Public station offerings are even more varied, including free 110-volt plug-ins at libraries, free 240-volt plug-ins at department stores and free 480-volt superchargers at Tesla charging stations — as well as myriad paid rates at privately run stations that often require special memberships or debit cards. \"\" People have been going to gas stations for a hundred years, but we're just at the beginning of this technology,\"\" said Genevieve Cullen, president of the EV trade group Electric Drive Transportation Assn. \"\" Things seem confusing at first. \"\""

The term is often used for a period of peak congestion that may last for more than one hour. The term is very broad, but often refers specifically to private automobile transportation traffic, even when there is a large volume of cars on a road but not a large number of people, or if the volume is normal but there is some disruption of speed.

"text": "\"For future electric cars, a faster way to charge By David R. Baker Updated 6:00 am, Thursday, January 5, 2017Photo: Michael Cummo, Hearst Connecticut Media Image 1 of 4Electric vehicles have developed a passionate following in California, but they have largely failed to catch on nationwide. As electric vehicles start to offer more miles on a fully juiced battery — enough to take a real trip rather than shuttle between home and office — the stations that recharge them will need to improve too. So on Thursday, a Campbell company is unveiling a recharging station it estimates will be good for the next 10 years of electric-vehicle evolution. Charge Point plans to introduce its Express Plus high-speed charging stations, with installation scheduled for July. The stations can recharge any currently available electric car at the maximum possible speed — a speed determined by the specifics of each car and its battery pack.

"text": "161Sustainable Energy Forget Battery Swapping: Tesla Aims to Charge Electric Cars in Five Minutes Tesla Motors is pushing the limits of charging technology to make electric vehicles as practical as gas-powered cars.by Kevin Bullis July 16, 2013Electric vehicles take too long to recharge to be practical for most consumers. Electric vehicles take too long to recharge. To charge a Tesla Model S just halfway takes five hours at a typical home or public charging station. But in its effort to make electric vehicles more practical, Tesla Motors is quickly reducing the charging times. Last September, it unveiled a network of “supercharging” stations —designed exclusively for its Model S and future electric vehicles—that could charge a battery halfway in 30 minutes. In May, it announced an upgrade that cut that time to 20 minutes. Now Tesla’s chief technology officer, JB Straubel, says the company eventually could cut the time it takes to fully charge the battery to just five minutes—or not much longer than it takes to fill a gas tank. Faster service: A Tesla charging station in Hawthorne, California. Straubel isn’t referring to the battery swap technology Tesla recently unveiled (see “ Why Tesla Thinks It Can Make Battery Swapping Work ”). That system doesn’t charge batteries quickly."

You should never drive Prius Prime without gasoline in the tank. While, under certain conditions, you may drive on electricity alone, the vehicle always requires gasoline to operate properly. Do I need to plug in Prius Prime to use it? No, but it is generally advantageous to keep it charged. Depending on your electricity rate, you could save money by plugging it in. The more often you keep Prius Prime fully charged (at home, work or anywhere with a public charging station), the greater your gasoline fuel savings will be. How does it work? Prius Prime uses a series parallel hybrid system, which means it can drive the wheels using both electric motors and/or its gas engine. If the battery is fully charged, Prius Prime runs on the electric motors only."

This story first appeared at RMI Outlet and is reprinted with RMI's permission. Electric vehicles seem finally to have gained a solid foothold. With continued adoption, there will be an increasing need for access to charging locations. We recognize that many drivers today do most of their charging at home, but many others still require access to a robust nationwide charging station network before even considering the purchase of an electric vehicle. But high costs of equipment and installation currently impede the build-out of such a network. Therefore, cost-effective solutions are needed to ensure future investment in charging stations. We recently interviewed over a dozen companies involved with charging station infrastructure — including utilities, automakers, cities, research institutions and charging station companies — to pull back the veil on current EV charging station infrastructure costs. We've broken down the cost into several categories: 1) the actual charging station hardware; 2) other hardware and materials; 3) electrician and other labor; 4) mobilization, which we define as time for the electrician and others to prep and get to the worksite (often including an initial on-site consultation); and 5) permitting."

A simple charger equivalent to an AC/DC wall adapter. It applies 300m A to the battery at all times, which will damage the battery if left connected too long. Car Battery Charger A battery charger, or recharger, [1] [2] is a device used to put energy into a secondary cell or rechargeable battery by forcing an electric current through it. The charging protocol (how much voltage or current for how long, and what to do when charging is complete, for instance) depends on the size and type of the battery being charged. Some battery types have high tolerance for overcharging (i.e., continued charging after the battery has been fully charged) and can be recharged by connection to a constant voltage source or a constant current source, depending on battery type. Simple chargers of this type must be manually disconnected at the end of the charge cycle, and some battery types absolutely require, or may use a timer, to cut off charging current at some fixed time, approximately when charging is complete. Other battery types cannot withstand over-charging, being damaged (reduced capacity, reduced lifetime) or overheating or even exploding. The charger may have temperature or voltage sensing circuits and a microprocessor controller to safely adjust the charging current and voltage, determine the state of charge, and cut off at the end of charge. A trickle charger provides a relatively small amount of current, only enough to counteract self-discharge of a battery that is idle for a long time."

During the mission briefing scene, rattlesnakes and poison oak are mentioned as potential natural hazards. Later in the film a rattlesnake is briefly glimpsed and heard. While accurate for the film's shooting location in New Mexico, both are obviously wrong for Afghanistan. We all know that rattlesnakes only occur in the Americas and Poison Oak is only found in Western North America. I was unable to identify the type of rattlesnake from the head shot that is on screen for just a few seconds, but I am sure someone here will. I guess it was too tough to track down a Saw-scaled viper (native) or even a Russell's Viper (close by in Pakistan) for a little more geographically accurate snake from the region depicted? Which snake species would be the most hyper accurate for the location and terrain in Pech District of Afghanistan's Kunar Province where Operation Red Wings actually took place? What a tragedy and loss to lose so many valiant soldiers. However I am not bringing this up to start a thread on the movie, or real life incident, or the merits of either, just want to keep it relevant to the snake depicted in the film please."

Rattlesnake Crotalus cerastes Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Subphylum: Vertebrata Class: Reptilia Order: Squamata Suborder: Serpentes Family: Viperidae Subfamily: Crotalinae Genera Crotalus Linnaeus, 1758Sistrurus Garman, 1883Rattlesnakes are a group of venomous snakes of the genera Crotalus and Sistrurus [1] of the subfamily Crotalinae (the pit vipers). The scientific name Crotalus is derived from the Greek κρόταλον, meaning \"\" castanet \"\". [ 2] The name Sistrurus is the Latinized form of the Greek word for \"\"tail rattler\"\" (Σείστρουρος, seistrouros) and shares its root with the ancient Egyptian musical instrument the sistrum, a type of rattle. [ 3] The 36 known species of rattlesnakes have between 65 and 70 subspecies, [4] all native to the Americas, ranging from southern Alberta and Saskatchewan and southern British Columbia in Canada to central Argentina. Rattlesnakes are predators that live in a wide array of habitats, hunting small animals such as birds and rodents. Rattlesnakes receive their name from the rattle located at the end of their tails, which makes a loud rattling noise when vibrated that deters predators or serves as a warning to passers-by. [ 5] However, rattlesnakes fall prey to hawks, weasels, king snakes, and a variety of other species. Rattlesnakes are heavily preyed upon as neonates, while they are still weak and immature. Large numbers of rattlesnakes are killed by humans."

In New Jersey, two color morphs occur - yellow or black. An average of 24 dark brown or black body blotches, crossbands or both are found from the neck to the base of the tail. Often the crossbands are not complete near the head but by mid-body they join to form crossbands having the shape of a chevron. A dark color (black or brown) is found on the last few inches of the tail. Black morphs have a black head and may have much black color throughout whereas yellow morphs have a yellow or light tan head color. The timber rattlesnake’s most distinguishing characteristic is its rattle. The rattle is composed of interlocking segments of dry, horny, keratinized skin that are not lost during shedding.

Guarding against this is not always easy but there are both actions and precautions that you can take. Many of these steps will also keep out other snakes, although be aware that some snakes are good to keep around if you don't mind them, as they deter rattlesnakes. Steps1 Add a low level rattlesnake proof fence around the backyard. While this is not a cheap option, it does work and can reassure you that a particular zone of your home is safe from rattlesnakes. In fact, you don't need to even wall off the whole backyard - you can select an area for the children to play in, for pets to frolic in and for entertainment purposes and only fence off that part. This becomes the \"\"safety zone\"\". Just make sure these specifications are followed in order for the fence to be effective: Use mesh that is not wider than a quarter of an inch in diameter or use solid material. Any untextured material is best because snakes cannot climb smooth surfaces as they cannot get a grip. Make the fence to a minimum height of three feet."

Likewise, lethal and highly toxic do not equate (always) to the level of threat to humans.

For this reason, everyone living here should learn how to recognize this snake species. Rattlesnakes are most known for the rattles on their tails and their large front fangs that deliver a poisonous bite. Prairie rattlesnakes are 35 to 45 inches long (89-114 cm) with a record length of 57 inches (144.8 cm). Although they weigh only about one pound (0.5 kg), they have a heavy or bulky-appearing body. Their gray-green bodies with greenish blotches are camouflaged to blend in with the prairie landscape. Their most identifiable features are their wide, triangular-shaped head, skinny neck, and blunt tail. Rattlesnakes have 2 long, curved fangs that can be folded back inside the mouth. The fangs are attached to the front of the upper jaws. When they intend to bite, rattlesnakes extend the fangs forward and their large jaw muscles squeeze the venom from glands on each side of the snake's head into the hollow fangs."

In Central and South America, they are almost everywhere there is wilderness. Contrary to popular belief, rattlesnakes do not deliberately stalk human beings — their natural diet consists of rats and mice, gophers, small birds, frogs, and even the occasional meaty insect. All the same, a snake's instinct is to protect itself — if you think about it, a snake is a very vulnerable creature without legs, ears, or a large size. So poisonous venom becomes its key defense mechanism, injected via sharp fangs as soon as prey or threats come near. As such, the duty really rests on you to behave responsibly with alertness. Be wary, be certain, and keep safe. Steps1 Know your snake. Is it a rattlesnake or a different kind of snake?

"text": "Rattlesnakes and gopher snakes can look eerily similar to the untrained eye. With similar square- or diamond-shaped markings and no-nonsense temperaments, these two species are often mistaken for each other. However, it’s important to recognize the differences between non-venomous gopher snakes (members of the Pituophis genus) and venomous rattlesnakes (members of the Crotalus genus and viper family). Size and Shape Gopher snakes are often longer than rattlesnakes. The average adult gopher snake measures between 6 and 9 feet long, while (depending on the species) rattlesnakes come in between 3 and 6 feet long. However, while the gopher snake is longer, its body is slender and whip-like compared to the rattlesnake’s heavy-bodied, broad appearance. Rattlesnakes also have a flat, triangular head in comparison to a gopher snake’s narrow, rounded head. Eyes While rattlesnakes and gopher snakes both have round eyes on both sides of their heads, it’s their pupils that give away their identity. Rattlesnakes have vertical, cat-like pupils, while gopher snakes have rounded pupils. Facial Pits Members of the pit viper family, rattlesnakes possess unique openings between their nostrils and eyes called heat-sensing pits."

Held every year since 1958, the event currently attracts approximately 30,000 visitors per year and in 2006 each annual Round-Up was said to result in the capture of 1% of the state's rattlesnake population. [ 5]Round-ups have economic and social importance to the communities that hold them. [ 1] [4] The events often attract thousands of tourists, which can bring hundreds of thousands of dollars of revenue into small towns; the Sweetwater Round-Up's economic impact was estimated to exceed US$5 million in 2006. [ 5] Snake collectors often make large profits selling snakes at the events."

"text": "Renting a car can lead to some unpleasant surprises once you receive the final invoice. Concession fees, gas and going over the mileage limit can all add hefty fees to the bill. Avoid these costly extras by filling the gas tank yourself, reading the terms and renting away from an airport whenever possible. Buy Gas at a Gas Station Rental car companies expect you to return the vehicle with gas in the tank. If the tank was half full when you rented the car, it should have a half tank when you return it, if you want to avoid paying extra fees or the shortage. In some cases, the fee may come close to the price of an extra day of car rental. The rental clerk may also ask if you wish to pre-pay for a tank of gas. This can be a deal if you plan to return the vehicle with an empty tank, knowing ahead of time that your schedule is too hectic to top off the gas on your own. Be aware though, that it's not easy to plan your trip so precisely that you return the tank empty without the possibility that you will run out of gas yourself. To save the most money and eliminate add-on fees, top off the tank at a nearby gas station before returning the vehicle."

"text": "Have you ever been surprised by the added fees on your Rental Car receipt? Do you know what those fees mean and what your actually paying are for? Unlike airlines that are required to display complete ticket costs up front, rental car companies don’t have to disclose all fees and can add big costs to your car rental. Come along for the ride as I explain some of those common rental car fees. Recently our family traveled out-of-state and our group rented cars at the airport from three separate providers (Enterprise, Dollar and Hertz). At the end of our stay we compared rental car costs and were surprised by the differences in fees. Below is a run down on how these companies tallied the fees and taxes for the car rentals. Enterprise T&M – this is the daily charge for your rental car also know and Time and Mileage. Concession Recovery Fee – At certain airport locations where a Rental Car company is an on-airport concessionaire, they are required to collect other mandatory charges from its customers and to remit them to the airport. These are sometimes referred to as Customer Facility Charge (CFC) , Airport Facility Charge (AFC), Transportation Facility Charge (TFC), or Airport Access Fee (AAF) or Concession Recoupment Fee (CRF)."

Regarding this bogus $20 fee being charged at SFO: http://blog.sfgate.com/dgreenberg/20...arging-20-fee/ ----------- According to Mr. Mc Carron, the transportation fee was negotiated between the airport and car rental companies as a means of financing the Air Train system. Rental companies are responsible for training their employees in its application. If a fee is misapplied, a customer may contact the airport and receive a refund (as I did). To be fair, the vast majority of rental car customers do use the Air Train. Thus, in most cases the fee is being charged properly. ------------ So $20 for taking the less-than-smooth Air Train?

In this last one you could buy 13,200 points for $428 dollars. ( There were other package options too). Wait until you find out the interesting things you can do with 13,200 points!Countries you can use Hertz Points for rentals in While you can earn points all over the world, and while they have properties all over the world, you can only use your points for car rentals in specific countries. Here are the different counties in which you can redeem points for rentals: USAustralia Belgium Brail Canada France Germany Ireland Italy Luxembourg Netherlands New Zealand Puerto Rico Spain US virgin islands UKAgain, they may have car rental locations in other countries, but these are the only locations you can actually redeem your points in. What is a little confusing is that of the countries you can redeem points in, each country has different rewards prices. Redeeming your points in the UK will have different prices than redeeming points in the US."

Red Cabbage Nutrition Information Nutrients in Raw Red Cabbage Purple cabbage, more commonly known as red cabbage, is a colorful variety from the brassica family. Purple cabbage has a relatively high ratio of nutrients and vitamins to calories and fat, which makes it an ideal choice for dieters. It is common in salads, coleslaw, braised dishes and pickled treats. Purple Cabbage in Your Diet When cabbage is cooked, it loses many of its valuable minerals and vitamins. However, the antioxidants in purple cabbage are easier for your body to absorb from a cooked state. For the best benefit, eat a mixture of raw and cooked purple cabbage. When you cook the purple cabbage, avoid boiling it, as the water will sap the nutrients from the vegetable."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Food & Cooking Fruits and Vegetables What is kohlrabi? Flag What is kohlrabi? Answer by Salette Andrews Confidence votes 5.6KSalette Andrews, MS, writes about healthy, humane living. Kohlrabi is a vegetable in the cabbage family, but looks like a whitish-green turnip. Its name means \"\"German turnip.\"\" It looks similar to a beet, but it is white in the center with light green or purple skin. The taste, to some, is a blend of cabbage and potato. It's actually the swollen stem of a broccoli-like vegetable and grows just above the ground. There are two main varieties of kohlrabi, white and purple; however, internally, both the \"\"white\"\" (actually light green color) as well as purple types have similar cream-yellow color edible flesh. Some of the popular cultivars of kohlrabi grown worldwide are White Vienna, White Danube, Purple Vienna, and Grand Duke."

Loriel, from Naturally Loriel, is sharing with us today a fantastic Southern boiled cabbage recipe, using one of my favorite cheap eats: the humble cabbage. Make sure you check out her blog for more easy recipes, lots of cute chicken stories, DIYs, and natural health and beauty. She also recently released a new clean handcrafted spice blend line, Naturally Free. I’ve tried them all, and buy them for my own home. Greens and I have never really gotten along very well. I never grew up eating them and quite frankly, leafy greens like kale, turnip greens, and mustard greens really make me want to gag. It’s kinda funny that it works that way too since greens are typically cheaper to eat and are rich in vitamins and minerals. It was only until I met my southern husband that I started to venture out into the leafy green world. I learned to love swiss chard when it was steamed and mixed with lots of butter and feta cheese, and thanks to bits of bacon and bacon grease, I can eat collards like I was the one that grew up in the south (but this moist maple cornbread is a necessity when making my collards)."

FACLM on January 8th, 2015In my video, Dietary Prevention for Age-Related Macular Degeneration, I discussed how eating goji berries with nuts and seeds can help build up yellow plant pigments such as lutein and zeaxanthin in our eyes to help fight age-related macular degeneration. But once we’ve preserved the pigment in our retinal pigment epithelial cells, we need to keep them alive. This may be where anthocyanin phytonutrients come in. Anthocyanins (from the Greek anthos, meaning flower, and kyanos, meaning blue) are natural plant pigments that make pansies look purple and turn green cabbage into purple cabbage, yellow corn into purple corn, brown rice to purple rice, white potatoes to blue potatoes, orange carrots to purple carrots, and keeps blueberries blue and blackberries black. As we age, our critical retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) layer starts to break down. However, we may be able to decelerate that aging with blueberries. In the study I profile in my video, Dietary Treatment of Glaucoma, human RPE cells bathed in blueberry anthocyanins had fewer free radicals and a lower proportion of aged cells, suggesting that blueberries and other red, blue, and purple pigmented fruits and vegetables may help prevent age-related macular degeneration. Blueberries may be especially important for blue eyes, as can be seen in my video Greens vs. Glaucoma."

Unfortunately, these varieties apparently do not grow true from seed. As a result, you must find a source of cuttings if you want to grow tree collards. I’ve been searching for starts for several years without luck, until I read this year that there are some sellers offering them on e Bay. A search revealed two sellers, one with a green variety and the other with a purple variety. I bought several of both. The purple variety showed up quite healthy looking. The cuttings were already leafing out and they have continued to look very good for the past week while soaking. The purple variety is reputed to be the better tasting of the two varieties, but may be less cold hardy than the green type. If, as I have read in a few places, it can only survive temperatures down to 25 degrees F, it might be killed here some years."

The ornamental kale (also known as flowering kale) has been bred to look like a pretty, colorful cabbage, which makes sense since they're related. Ornamental kale is still edible, but you probably wouldn't enjoy it much, as the plant is fairly tough and chewy. And, to confuse things a bit, there are some culinary kales which are just so darned pretty, they're sold as ornamentals. With its upright habit, tightly curled leaves and deep purple color, 'Redbor' is probably the most stunning variety of kale you will ever see - and it's also edible. ( And, as I can attest, it is an extremely tough plant. ) Forthe purposes of this article, we're going to focus on the types of kale commonly preferred for eating.

Symptoms of Pulled Groin Ligament An overuse of the adductor muscles leads to varying degree of tears in the ligaments, a sudden rapid movement can also lead to this. Another cause of pulled groin ligament is strenuous exercises, these exercises put pressure on the tendons, muscles and ligaments, so when there is insufficient warm-up exercises it makes the body unprepared, which could lead to a pulled groin muscle. Pulled groin ligament gives rise to groin pain symptoms. The symptoms vary depending on the degree of pull and severity of the condition. There are three degrees of groin strain, for someone suffering from a first degree strain, it’s basically a mild strain and the symptoms includes slight discomfort, a feeling of pain when performing physical activities like running, a feeling of tenderness on the affected area. If it’s a second degree strain, it’s means the strain is moderate and the symptoms includes a feeling of discomfort, signs of swelling and bruising, pain when trying to do any physical activity, groin pain, a feeling of pain when stretching your legs for long. If it’s a third degree strain, then this is very serious because it means there is an extreme strain on the ligament and the symptoms includes extreme discomfort, pain when pulling both legs together, bruising all over the inner thighs, swelling or inflammation, unable to indulge in physical activity even very simple ones, small lumps around turn muscles, excruciating groin pain."

It shouldn’t be confused with European handball, which is a soccer-like team sport. American handball is both played in organized and league settings -and- recreational settings like street handball courts and fitness centers. One element that contributes to its growing popularity is that American handball requires little equipment - at least one wall; a rubber ball; and, if playing in an organized setting, safety glasses and protective gloves. However, like all sports, handball has a risk of injury. What Are Some Common Handball Injuries? Sprained Finger There are three bones (phalanges) in each finger and two bones in each thumb. Each pairing of phalanges are separated by an interphalangeal joint. Strong bands of soft tissue, called collateral ligaments, run along side each of the joints. These ligaments are what hold the finger joints in place and connect one finger bone to another."

"text": "\"Hip muscle pain and groin pulls You hip is a complicated joint with 17 muscles, 5 bones, numerous tendons, ligaments and bursae connecting your leg bone (femur), pelvis and spine all together. There are two areas of muscles in the hip that you may have strained or pulled. First are your hip adductor muscles help to bring your legs together and rotate your hip inwards towards the midline of your body. The short adductors include the pectineus, adductor brevis, and adductor longus, and the long adductors include the adductor magnus and gracilis. All of these muscles are located on the inside of your thigh. At the end of these muscles are tendons, which are tough, fibrous tissues that connect your muscles to your bones. Most of these muscles and tendons attach your pubic bone (lower part of the pelvis) to your thigh bone (femur); however the gracilis muscle attaches to the lower leg bone (tibia) not the femur. These muscles and tendons start in the groin (crease at the junction of the inner part of the thigh where it meets the body near the external genital area) and move down through the inner thigh to the inside of the knee. Second are your hip flexor muscles are among the most powerful muscles and tendons in your body. They are make-up the deep of set muscles at the front of your hip (iliopsoas), outer hip muscles (tensor fasciae latae), and muscles that lie over the top of the iliopsoas muscles in your front, upper thigh area (rectus femoris and sartorius)."

It is a common cause of Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome. Your gluteal tendons are the tough fibres that connect your gluteal muscle to your hip bone. A tendon injury may seem to happen suddenly, but usually, it is the result of many tiny tears to the tendon that have happened over time. Typically, tendon injuries occur in three areas:musculotendinous junction (where the tendon joins the muscle)mid-tendon (non-insertional tendinopathy)tendon insertion (eg into bone)Non-insertional tendinopathies tend to be caused by a cumulative microtrauma from repetitive overloading eg overtraining. What is a Tendon Injury? Tendons are the tough fibres that connect muscle to bone. Most tendon injuries occur near joints, such as the shoulder, elbow, knee, and ankle.

Effective evaluation of the hip depends upon an understanding of local anatomy and function and the proper performance of a focused physical examination. This topic will review the clinical anatomy and examination of the hip and groin. Specific injuries of structures in the hip or groin are discussed separately in the program. ANATOMY AND BIOMECHANICSThe pelvis is a bony ring-like structure that provides postural support when stationary and during movement ( figure 1 and figure 2) [ 1 ]. In addition, the pelvis provides a stable platform for the hip, a ball and socket joint positioned at each inferolateral aspect of the pelvis that enables rotation, flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation of each lower extremity. The bones forming the hip include the ilium, pubis, and ischium bones. The hip joint consists of the femoral head (ball) and the acetabulum (socket), a cavity created by the hips bones. The depth of the acetabulum is increased by a triangular fibrocartilage structure called the labrum that attaches along its outer rim. Posteriorly the ilium articulates with the sacrum."

The most common sports injuries are strains and sprains Sprains are injuries to ligaments, the tough bands connecting bones in a joint. Suddenly stretching ligaments past their limits deforms or tears them. Strains are injuries to muscle fibers or tendons, which anchor muscles to bones. Strains are called “pulled muscles” for a reason: Over- stretching or overusing a muscle causes tears in the muscle fibers or tendons. “Think of ligaments and muscle-tendon units like springs,” says William Roberts, MD, sports medicine physician at the University of Minnesota and spokesman for the American College of Sports Medicine. “ The tissue lengthens with stress and returns to its normal length — unless it is pulled too far out of its normal range. ”Continue Reading Belowyou might like Preventing the most common sports injuries Sometimes preventing common sports injuries is beyond our control, but many times sports injuries are preventable. “ Some injuries,” Roberts says, “we bring on ourselves because we're not conditioned for the activity.”"

Rana Faure/Photodisc/Getty Images Soccer injuries are generally defined as either cumulative (overuse) or acute (traumatic) injuries. Overuse injuries occur over time due to stress on the muscles, joints and soft tissues without proper time for healing. They begin as a small, nagging ache or pain, and can grow into a debilitating injury if they aren't treated early. Acute or traumatic injuries occur due to a sudden force, or impact, and can be quite dramatic. Common Soccer Injuries Ankle Sprains The most common of all ankle injuries, an ankle sprain occurs when there is a stretching and tearing of ligaments surrounding the ankle joint. Achilles Tendonitis Achilles tendonitis is a chronic injury that occurs primarily from overuse and it felt as pain in the back of the ankle.

The conference detailed key aspects of managing hip and groin pain from world leading researchers and clinicians. I’ve comprised some of the key learning’s alongside clinical research into 3 different posts. Part 1 is in reference to the classification of hip and groin pain from the Doha agreement (1). The Hip and Groin The hip and groin is a complex area, with a wide variety of possible injuries in numerous anatomical structures. In addition imaging such as MRI reveals a high prevalence of ‘abnormal findings’ in athletes without symptoms, increasing the complexity of determining diagnosis in this area (2, 3). There was much confusion on terminology of diagnoses and criteria to reach these definitions. The ‘Doha agreement meeting on terminology and definitions in groin pain in athletes’ was an attempt to resolve these issues. A major outcome of the Doha agreement was the establishment of impairment-based management of hip and groin pain. With clinicians on board with a consistent approach to the hip and groin it means better diagnosis and better outcomes for managing your injuries."

Overlooked in the complexity of trying to diagnose groin pain is ligament laxity. Weakened, frayed ligaments that cause instability. Therefore, physicians experienced in ligament referral patterns should be consulted in cases of groin pain. Iliolumbar syndrome, iliopsoas injury, pubic symphysis injury, and osteitis pubis can be related to ligament laxity and are common causes of groin pain and can be successfully treated with non-surgical injection therapies.

It is defined as weakness or tearing of the rectus abdominus insertion to the superior pubic ramus. Activity restricting lower abdomen and groin pain is a frequent occurrence in some sports, such as soccer, accounting for 10% to 13% of all injuries per year. 1,2 However, most lower abdomen and groin injuries are self-limited and only a small percentage cause symptoms for greater than 3 weeks. 2 There are several causes of chronic lower abdomen and groin pain that may be related to disorders of the hip joint, injury to muscles of the thigh or abdominal wall, and even genitourinary or intraabdominal disease. 3,4 Because the differential diagnosis of chronic lower abdomen and groin pain is so broad, only a small number of patients with chronic lower abdomen and groin pain fulfill the diagnostic criteria of athletic pubalgia (sports hernia). Over the years, many different names have been associated with this injury, such as athletic pubalgia, sports hernia, Gilmore’s groin, pubic inguinal pain syndrome, sportsmen’s groin, footballers groin injury complex, hockey player’s syndrome, and athletic hernia. 3,5–9 None of the terms listed earlier is perfect, but they all seek to describe a poorly understood disease complex that is generally not well accepted by general surgeons as a real syndrome warranting surgical therapy, and for which there is a paucity of good clinical studies. However, sports hernia is becoming more widely diagnosed and more frequently operated on in part because of a greater awareness generated by the media on high-profile athletes. The literature published to date regarding the cause, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of sports hernias is confusing."

"text": "Specific hip conditions Print, Download, Order Some of the specific conditions that affect the hip include the following: Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis is one of the most common causes of hip pain in adults. It’s often linked to earlier fractures, trauma or childhood hip problems, although it can often occur randomly. We don’t yet fully understand why osteoarthritis develops without any pre-existing problems, but it can cause a great deal of pain, restricted movement and a limp. In extreme situations, the leg can become shorter and the hip can become fixed in a bent position, making mobility significantly worse. Paget’s disease of bone Paget’s disease affects the way bone develops and renews itself, causing it to become weaker. It usually affects the pelvis and causes the structure to become deformed. This can often lead to hip pain, but it can be very well treated with a group of drugs called bisphosphonates. Other types of arthritis Rheumatoid arthritis , psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis can all cause hip pain. This can be managed with specific medication for each condition. Hip fractures If you’ve had a fall which resulted in hip pain, you should see your doctor urgently as fractures around the hip are very common, particularly in elderly people with osteoporosis."

"text": "Thigh Pain Symptoms with Movement and Causes of Pain in Thighs Posted by Dr. Chris Tweet What is thigh pain? Thigh pain is any discomfort, soreness or pain in the area lying between the pelvis and knee. In most instances it is due to muscle and tendon pain, but can be associated with any disease or disorder of the ligaments, bone, joints, blood vessels or nerves in the thigh. Sometimes the problem may originate from the pelvis, groin or lower back and radiate to the thigh or cause referred pain to the thigh. The thigh is the part of the lower limb between the pelvis and a knee. It is mainly a muscular part of the body with a single long bone known as the femur. The thigh carries the weight of the upper body, transfers it down to the lower leg and feet, and also aids with mobility. The muscles of the thigh can be divided into three separate compartments, each of which has its own blood and nerve supply. It has some of the largest muscles of the body, which aid with abduction and adduction, flexion and extension at the hip and knee joint. Symptoms of thigh pain Pain in the thigh may be felt in the front (anterior), back (posterior), outer thigh (lateral) or inner thigh (medial)."

[ 4]It is a syndrome characterized by chronic groin pain in athletes and a dilated superficial ring of the inguinal canal. Football and ice hockey players are affected most frequently, and both recreational and professional athletes may be affected. Presentation [ edit]Symptoms include pain during sports movements, particularly hip extension, and twisting and turning. This pain usually radiates to the adductor muscle region and even the testicles, although it is often difficult for the patient to pin-point the exact location. Following sporting activity the person with athletic pubalgia will be stiff and sore. The day after a match, getting out of bed or a car will be difficult. Any exertion that increases intra-abdominal pressure, such as coughing, sneezing, or sporting activity can cause pain. In the early stages, the person may be able to continue playing their sport, but the problem usually gets progressively worse. As pain in the groin and pelvis can be referred from a number of problems, including injuries to the lumbar spine, the hip joint, the sacro-iliac joint, the abdomen, and the genito-urinary system, diagnosis of athletic pubalgia requires skillful differentiation and pubic examination in certain cases where there is intense groin pain."

Photo: Kelvin Ma By Lindsey Konkel February 28, 2013Print Email Under the microscope, Sam Telford surveyed the tiny, spiral bacteria floating in spinal fluid taken from an 80-year-old woman. They looked very similar to the spirochete bacteria that can cause Lyme disease. But in fact, he had discovered yet another public health threat—a brand new disease that people can get from the same ticks that transmit the Lyme bacteria. “We’ve known that this bacteria existed in the Northeast in deer ticks, but there was little data linking it to human disease” until now, says Telford, an expert on tick-borne diseases and a professor in the Department of Infectious Diseases and Global Health at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine. “ We just needed the right patient to confirm the presence of the disease. ”That patient was the elderly woman, who lived on a farm in New Jersey. Over four months, she had experienced progressive mental decline, becoming increasingly confused. Her gait grew wobbly, and she didn’t have much of an appetite. Her immune system was compromised from a previous bout with cancer, so her doctors drew spinal fluid in the hopes of finding out what was going on."

"text": "The Last Cascadia Great Earthquake and Tsunami; 313 Years and Ticking January 24, 2013by Bill Steele The Last Cascadia Great Earthquake and Tsunami; 313 Years and Ticking Thousands of coastal residents settled in for the night on January 26th 1700 when the ground began to shake. For most, the first signs were subtle, dogs barked nervously as the primary or “P” wave vibrations passed by. The earthquake became unmistakable when the “S” (secondary or shear) waves arrived at village after village traveling at about 6 kilometers a second as the entire Cascadia Subduction Zone ruptured. The 1000 km long fault rupture propagated from its origin at about 3 km a second, generating fresh seismic waves as the fault continued to unzip and slip. Assuming the rupture began in Northern California, it likely took over 5 minutes break the entire fault to northern Vancouver Island. The earthquake that released about 1500 times the seismic energy than the 2001 M 6.8 Nisqually Earthquake, and can be seen as a connected series of large earthquakes at least one of which produced very low frequency waves with 10s of meters of displacement, and a dramatic popping up of the sea floor that lifted a great column of water. That uplifted column of water then collapsed producing a series of tsunami waves that would batter the coastline through the night and cross the pacific basin. Though all people west of the Cascades were disrupted by the shaking and some injured by falling logs and possessions, it was the water that likely claimed the hundreds of lives lost that night when villages were overtopped by tsunami generated floods. The 1980s was a decade of discovery of evidence for great earthquakes in the Cascadia Region. Tom Heaton and Hiroo Kanamori published a paper asserting the Cascadia Subduction Zone was indeed actively deforming and is likely to produce great earthquakes."

The killer whale (Orcinus orca) is also known as orca or orca whale, and rarely referred to as blackfish. The whale is a toothed whale and it belongs to the oceanic dolphin family. These whales are known to survive in almost all the major oceans including Arctic, Antarctic and other tropical regions. They have a greater variation in their diets, even though individual populations usually specialize in specific types of prey. There are few species that largely feed on fish, while others prey on several marine mammals including seals, walruses, sea lions, and other whale species. Killer whales are termed as apex predators, lacking normal predators. Killer whales are highly regarded as social mammals and some species are consists of matrilineal groups which are by far the most steady animals species. Some of their attributes including their vocalizations and hunting methods are often described as manifestations of culture. According to the IUCN, some of the orca species are termed as endangered or threatened due to the habitat loss, excessive pollution and prey depletion."

"text": "Home » Dog Conditions Bacterial Infection (Tularemia) in Dogs Francisella tularensis in Dogs Tularemia is a zoonotic bacterial disease that is occasionally seen in dogs. It is associated with multiple animal species, including humans, and can be acquired from through contact with infected animals. Also commonly know as rabbit fever for its mode of transmission, even while it can infect several types of animals and be transmitted via any infected animal, as such, the bacteria can also be acquired by ingestion of contaminated water, or through contact with infected soil, where the organism can remain in an infectious state for up to several months. Infection is often caused by ingestion of an infected mammals' tissue, such as when a dog hunts a small animal, bird or reptile, through water, or by tick, mite, flea or mosquito bite -- all of which can carry and transmit the bacteria. The bacterium may also infect a dog through its skin, or by entering its airways, eyes or gastrointestinal system. Tularemia is found throughout much of the world, including continental Europe, Japan and China, and in the Soviet Union. In the United States, it is most common in Arkansas and Missouri, though it can be found in most parts of the U. S. It also tends to have higher seasonal incidence, with May through August being a time of increased risk. An increase is also seen during the winter rabbit hunting season, in areas where this is a common practice. One of the most common vectors of communication of the F. tularensis bacterium is the tick, which includes the American dog tick, the Lone Star tick, and the Rocky Mountain wood tick, along with other types of ticks. Symptoms and Types Sudden onset of fever Lethargy Dehydration Lack of appetite (anorexia)Enlargement of the lymph nodes Tender abdomen Enlargement of spleen or liver White patches or ulcers on the tongue Jaundice – may be indicated by yellow eyes Causes Bacterial infection ( Francisella)Contact with an infected source Diagnosis You will need to give your veterinarian a thorough history of your dog's health and recent activities, including a recent history of boardings, outings, trips, tick bites, and experiences with other animals or with pests."

The disease is named after Victor Babes, the Hungarian pathologist and microbiologist who identified intraerythrocytic microorganisms as the cause of febrile hemoglobinuria in cattle in 1888. 1 Five years later, Theobald Smith and Frederick L. Kilborne identified a tick as the vector for transmission of Babesia bigemina in Texas cattle. 2 This seminal observation established for the first time that an arthropod could transmit an infectious agent to a vertebrate host. The first documented human case of babesiosis was not recognized until about a half century later, when a splenectomized Croatian herdsman rapidly succumbed to an infection subsequently attributed to B. divergens. 3 The first case in an immunocompetent person was identified on Nantucket Island, off the coast of Massachusetts, in 1969. 4 The causative agent was B. microti, and the vector was the Ixodes dammini tick (now referred to as I. scapularis ). 5 Additional cases occurred on the island, and the disease became known as “Nantucket fever.” During the past decade, the incidence and geographic distribution of babesiosis have increased in the northeastern and upper midwestern regions of the United States."

The tick also occurs in certain areas of Canada, Mexico and the Pacific Northwest of the U. S. (Mcnemee et al. 2003). Dermacentor variabilis is a 3-host tick, targeting smaller mammals as a larva and nymph and larger mammals as an adult. Although it is normally found on dogs, this tick will readily attack larger animals, such as cattle, horses, and even humans. The 8-legged adult is a vector of the pathogens causing Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) and tularemia, and can cause canine tick paralysis. While the American dog tick can be managed without pesticides, when necessary a recommended acaricide is an effective way of eliminating an existing tick infestation near residences. Figure 1.

The disease was named for Lyme, Connecticut, the town where it was firstdiagnosed in 1975 after a puzzling outbreak of arthritis. The organism was named for its discoverer,Willy Burgdorfer. The effects of this disease can be long-term and disabling unless it is recognizedand treated properly with antibiotics. Description Lyme disease, which is also called Lyme borreliosis, is a vector-borne disease. This term meansthat it is delivered from one host to another. It is also classified as a zoonosis, which means that it is a disease of animals that can be transmitted to humans under natural conditions. In this case, a tick bearing the Borrelia burgdorferi organism literally inserts it into a host's bloodstream when it bites the host to feed on its blood. It is important to note that neither Borrelia burgdorferi nor Lymedisease can be transmitted directly from one person to another, or from pets to humans."

The virus can be transmitted from an infected tick to humans through a tick bite. Tick-borne encephalitis occurs across a vast area ranging from western Europe to the east coast of Japan. This includes regions between eastern France to northern Japan and also from northern Russia to Albania. It most commonly occurs from April through to November, with about 8,500 cases being reported each year worldwide. [ 1]Causes The tick-borne encephalitis virus enters the body from the saliva of a tick during a bite. Once inside the body, the virus replicates within cells and particularly affects the central nervous system, leading to inflammation of the brain. Tick-borne encephalitis can also be caused by drinking unpasteurised milk from infected animals.

The only treatment (a type of chemotherapy) is not always succesful, and it can have serious side effects in some horses. Piroplasmosis is found in nearly every country in the world except the United States, Canada, Australia, England, Ireland, Japan, and Iceland. It is estimated that only 10% of the world's horse population is naïve (has not been exposed to or developed antibodies to one or both parasites). Therefore, it is crucial to the naïve U. S. horse population to screen horses from around the world before allowing them into the United States. A new blood test for piroplasmosis was unveiled by the USDA in early 2004. The competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (CELISA) was described as more sensitive that the complement fixation test (CFT), which has been the screening test for piroplasmosis for many years. ( There is one other test for piroplasmosis, an indirect immunofluorescent antibody test, but it is complicated and does not lend itself to testing large numbers of samples. )"

About the size of a grain of rice, these dark colored pests feed on the blood of mammals, birds and sometimes reptiles and amphibians. They are widely distributed throughout the world, though most common in areas with warm, humid climates since ticks require some air moisture to undergo metamorphosis and cold temperatures inhibit egg development. They can be a bane to hikers, pets, livestock, as well as wild animals. Ticks are most common in environments with many large mammals that help to feed and distribute the pests. In addition to the nastiness of having a parasite burrow into the skin, they can be carriers of a number of diseases including Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Despite the repugnant features and habits of ticks, there are measures you can take to minimize their impact when you are hiking in areas known to harbor them. Of course the easiest way to avoid them is to stay out of their habitats, but this leaves many beautiful and interesting places off-limits. Knowing their habits and behavior can help you defend against them and allow you to enjoy an outing without undue anxiety and apprehension. Tick Behavior For the hiker, the most significant threat from ticks is in their adult female form, though ticks in the nymphal stage can also pose a hazard."

In February, higher nonfuel prices more than offset declining prices for imported fuel. Prices for U. S. exports rose 0.2 percent in February following a 0.8-percent advance the previous month. Imports All Imports: The price index for U. S. imports rose 0.4 percent in February, the seventh consecutive monthly increase, after advancing 0.8 percent in January. The last time the index declined on a monthly basis was a 0.2-percent drop in July 2017. Import prices advanced 3.5 percent for the 12-month period ended in February, matching the 12-month rise in November. Those were the largest annual increases since the index rose 3.6 percent for the 12-month period ended April 2017. Fuel Imports: The price index for fuel imports declined 0.6 percent in February, the first monthly decline since July. Prior to February, the index for fuel imports rose 29.1 percent between July 2017 and January 2018. Both petroleum and natural gas prices contributed to the decline in overall fuel prices in February."

A: Quick Answer Animals that eat slugs include ground beetles, ants, firefly larvae, marsh flies, toads, newts, salamanders, snakes, hedgehogs, shrews, moles, nematodes, raccoons, chickens, ducks and songbirds, such as the song thrush. Nematodes are microscopic worms that target and kill juvenile slugs. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Animals Eat Earthworms? What Eats Beetles? What Do Ringneck Snakes Eat? Full Answer The worms enter the slug's body and secrete a chemical that kills the slug. Most animals have trouble eating slugs because of the sticky mucus that encases the body of the animal. However, the hedgehog has developed a means by which it removes the mucus from the slug's body. It rubs the slug in dirt and then brushes the dirt away to remove the sticky film before consuming the slug."

"text": "About Reptiles Reptiles arose over 300,000,000 years ago, having evolved from a salamander-like ancestor. They represent a completion of the transition from life in water to a fully terrestrial lifestyle (although some reptiles have returned to the water). Waterproof skin and a water-resistant egg means that reptiles can live in places and ways that amphibians can’t. There are over 8,700 currently recognized species, a large majority of which belong to the group Squamata, which includes the lizards, snakes, and worm-like amphisbaenians. They range in size from tiny geckos that easily rest on a dime to the giant Komodo dragon, which tops the scales at 150 kg (330 pounds)! Venom is widespread among reptiles, from many lizards and snakes that will, at most, produce an irritating sensation with their salivary secretions to deadly coral snakes and their relatives which produce neurotoxins that can cause cardiac arrest in short order. However, the vast majority of reptiles are absolutely harmless to humans. Reptiles exhibit some remarkable adaptations. Tails of lizards, for instance, are used for many purposes. The fat Gila monster of the Sonoran desert of North America uses its plump tail to store energy in the form of fat."

APPEARANCE : Though eel-like or earthworm-like in appearance, they are neither of these. They have vertebrate characteristics such as jaws and teeth. Their eyes are nearly functionless and even nonexistant on some. They have a groove on either side of the head which contains a retractable sensory tentacle. Most are between 5 to 14 inches long and 1/4 to 1 inches in diameter, but I read that some can get to 4 1/2 feet long!WHAT THEY EAT : Caecilians are carnivorous.

"text": "If you’re wondering why conserving amphibians is so important, take a moment to appreciate just how ancient they are. Most of the distinctive characteristics of living amphibians – such as their permeable skin and their jelly-like eggs – are associated with the fact that although they are able to live on land, most species still need to be closely associated with water for much of their lifecycles as well. Indeed, the word ‘amphibian’ reflects this and means ‘both lives’ in ancient Greek. This key amphibian trait has been inherited all the way back from the first vertebrates ever to climb out of the water onto land, almost 370 million years ago during the Devonian Period – about 140 million years before the earliest dinosaurs. Whereas many people think that the fossil record is full of gaps, we now have an extremely good understanding of the earliest amphibians and how they evolved from fish – nearly all of the vital transitional forms, or ‘missing links’, have been discovered in places like Arctic Canada, Greenland and Latvia, which were then far more tropical than they are today. The closest relatives of the first amphibians were lobe-finned fish related to modern coelacanths and lungfish, in which the fins were supported by bone instead of thin cartilage strips, and which also had a bony girdle to support their forelimbs. These structures did not evolve specifically to allow the animals to walk on land, but instead may have enabled them to drag themselves along the muddy shallows of freshwater swamps like today’s walking catfish, anchor themselves to the bottom in fast-moving currents, or alternately to be ‘sit-and-wait’ predators that could make rapid underwater lunges after smaller prey. One of the most closely related lobe-finned fish, Panderichthys, was over a metre long and could breathe water through a tube in the top of its head, suggesting that it buried itself in the mud as it lay in wait for other fish, and used its powerful forelimbs to spring out for an underwater attack. Although we still don’t really know why amphibians first invaded the land, the fossils of these unusual transitional animals show that they slowly became more and more associated with terrestrial environments, with later species developing key adaptations such as robust ribcages to support the increased weight of their bodies out of water. However, the earliest true tetrapods – the group of four-legged vertebrates that includes all amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds – were still completely restricted to living in water."

"text": "Coniferous Forests Throughout the world, there are variations of flora, fauna, and environment that create biomes – the word that describes a given area’s particular natural characteristics. While there are several types of biomes in the world, ranging from deserts to frozen tundra, the coniferous forest is a type of biome that is seen all over the globe. These are predominantly made up of – you guessed it – coniferous trees, which are so called because their seeds take the form of cones. Coniferous forests are mostly found in regions of the Earth that experience long winters and short summers. Coniferous forests, therefore, are found mainly in the northern hemisphere, although some are found in the southern hemisphere. Coniferous forests (fir, pine, spruce) make up one-third of the world’s forests and are found in northern parts of North America, Europe and Asia where temperatures tend to be lower and winter tends to last longer. Ever wonder what a pinecone really is? Pine trees are some of the best-known conifers, and pinecones are their way of spreading seeds. Most of the trees in coniferous forests are conifers (or evergreens) which are the toughest and longest living trees in the world. They have needle like leaves have a waxy outer coat which prevents water loss in freezing weather."

The state of Texas has a large variety of habitats, from swamps, pine forests in the east, rocky hills and limestone karst in the center, desert in the south and west, mountains in the far west, and grassland prairie in the north. This vast contrast in biomes makes Texas home to a wide variety of herpetofauna. Its central position in the United States means that species found primarily in either the western or eastern reaches of the country often have their ranges meeting in the state. Its proximity to Mexico is such that many species found there and into Central American also range as far north as Texas. Also, the karst topography of central Texas is home to several endemic species. The abundance of amphibians makes the state a prime area for research, and most species in the state are well documented.

Some predators, however, have thick enough skin to withstand a few stings, quick enough speed to avoid stings altogether or deadly enough poison to stand up against the threat presented by wasps and bees. Birds At least 24 species of birds reportedly eat wasps and bees. The most obvious come from the \"\"bee-eater\"\" bird family, which mostly lives in tropical and subtropical regions of Eurasia, Africa and Australasia. North America's northern mockingbird eats a variety of insects in the summer, including bees and wasps, as does the summer tanager, located in southern North America, Central America and South America. The ruby-throated hummingbird will also grab smaller bees flying around nectar. Other bee and wasp eating birds include the blackbird, magpie and starling. Mammals A variety of omnivorous mammals, from small species to larger animals, also prey on wasps and bees. In Great Britain, badgers act as the primary predator of wasps and often destroy colonies for the comb containing young wasps and eggs. In North America, the black bear eats bees and wasps."

At 30 metres (98 ft) in length and 180 metric tons (200 short tons) or more in weight, it is the largest known animal to have ever existed. The Blue Whale’s tongue weighs around 2.7 metric tons (5,952 pounds), about the size of an average Asian Elephant and its heart weighs about 600 kg (1,300 lb) and is the largest known in any animal. Not only is the heart similar size to a mini-cooper car but also comparable in weight. The Blue Whale is thought to feed almost exclusively on small, shrimp-like creatures called Krill.

Sometimes called a “water monster” or Mexican Walking Fish, its name is derived from the Aztec language Nahuatl. The closest translation in English is “water dog. ”These unique creatures were once considered to be a culinary delicacy. They are mole salamanders, and are among the most primitive of their kind, diverging from other salamanders in their development more than 140 million years ago. This fact is only the first in a long list of items that make the axolotl a truly unique creature. The first specimens appeared in Europe in 1863. Today, axolotls are rarely caught in the wild and are listed as a CITES endangered species.

Aleck runs the shop in Yanille where you will also find Leon who will sell you a Hunters' Crossbow for 1,300gp. To make the Bolts for the Crossbow you will need Kebbit Bolts made from Kebbit Spikes and Long Kebbit Spikes. The Hunters' Crossbow requires 50+ Ranging to wield and gives a range bonus of +55. The Hunters' Crossbow also fires faster then normal crossbows, but in turn cannot hold enchanted bolts or spikes. To make 6 Kebbit Bolts you need to give Leon 1 Kebbit Spike and 20gp, or 1 Long Spike and 40gp for 6 Long Kebbit Bolts. At 32 Fletching you can fletch Kebbit Bolts by using a Chisel on Kebbit Spikes, at 42 Fletching you can fletch Long Tipped Kebbit Bolts by using a Chisel on Long Spikes. Advisory to begin hunting is to go to Yanille first because it's closest to the first creatures you can hunt."

They spend time both in water and on land. Their larvae (not yet fully developed offspring) mature in water and breathe through gills, like fish, while adults breathe air through lungs and skin. Amphibians are in the class Amphibia, which includes over 3,500 species. They are further divided into three orders: Anura (frogs and toads), Urodela (salamanders and newts), and Gymnophiona (caecilians, pronounced sih-SILL-yuhns, which are wormlike in appearance). History Amphibians evolved from fish about 400 million years ago, when the amount of dry land on Earth increased greatly. Certain fish adapted to these changing conditions by gradually developing limbs to crawl with and lungs to breathe with. Such organisms, capable of life both in water and on land, came to be called amphibians, a name that means \"\"double life.\"\" Amphibians were the first vertebrates (animals with backbones) to live on land. However, they returned to the water to breed."

Credit: Giulia Curatola, Philipps-Universität Marburg, distributed by the EGU under a Creative Commons license. 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 today (Jan. 22) 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."

This doesn’t affect rankings. Our review process. What is a salamander? There are a whopping 500 species of amphibians that can be classified as salamanders. Salamanders are similar in shape and size to lizards – with a slender body and long tail. What differentiates them from the typical lizard? Salamanders won’t always have four limbs, and can often be seen slithering along without them. They are also commonly brightly colored, although underground species may simply be white or pink in color Let’s take a look at some of the more common species of salamander. Types of Salamanders Here’s a breakdown of the various types of common salamanders."

The main difference is that the lizard is a reptile and the salamander is an amphibian. Lizards, as with most reptiles, generally reproduce and live their entire lives on land. However, amphibians must reproduce and spend a period of time growing in water before eventually moving onto land. Lizards also have dry, scaly skin while salamanders have moist, smooth skin.13 people found this useful Was this answer useful? Yes Somewhat No What is the difference between a salamander and a newt?

Peloso The most species rich genus of frogs is Pristimantis. There are more than 450 species in this genus, with more being described each year ( see the full list here ). These frogs occur in northern South America, mostly in the Andes, with some species found in southern Central America. They are small frogs whose eggs are laid on land and develop directly into small froglets, bypassing the tadpole stage. Bolitoglossa pesrubra © 2008 Eduardo Boza Oviedo The most diverse genus of salamanders, with more than 120 species ( get the latest tally for Bolitoglossa here ), is Bolitoglossa (the \"\"web-footed salamanders\"\"). Members of this genus are found from Mexico throughout Middle America and most of South America to central Bolivia. These are salamanders that lack an aquatic larval stage, are terrestrial rather than aquatic as adults, and frequently are arboreal."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Biology How do amphibians adapt to their environment? Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Amphibians --------------------------------------... Amphibians were the first vertebrates to leave the water to live on land. This occurred about 360 million years ago. Over the next 125 million years, amphibians faced little competition from other vertebrates and evolved into as many as 15 major groups. With the coming of reptiles, and then birds and mammals, the amphibian groups declined to the three of today - 1) frogs and toads, 2) salamanders, and 3) caecilians (a group of worm-like creatures that live in the tropics). Amphibians had to adapt to a life on land as compared to living in the water. Without the buoyancy of the water, their legs had to adapt to not just move the body but also to support it. The gills used for breathing underwater were replaced by lungs and moist skin. The skin had to change to be able to minimize the loss of water through evaporation. Their adaptations have not been entirely successful as most amphibians must return to water to breed."

"text": "\"AMPHIBIANSThree different types of amphibians (am-FIB-ee-uhns) live on Earth today: Frogs are the often-slimy creatures almost everyone has seen hopping into a pond or heard calling on a spring evening. The smallest species reach less than one-half an inch (1.3 centimeters) long, while the largest can grow to more than a foot (30.5 centimeters) in length. Frogs are in the order Anura (ann-UR-uh). Toads are included in this order, too. They are simply one kind of frog. Frogs are different from other amphibians because they do not have tails when they are adults. Some frogs, called the tailed frogs, have little taillike bits of tissue, but they are not really tails. Many frogs have long and strong hind legs for hopping, but a few have short hind legs and typically get around by walking or running. Salamanders are the four-legged, tailed animals that hikers or gardeners sometimes surprise when they turn over a rock or log. The smallest salamanders are less than 1.2 inches (3 centimeters) long, while the largest can grow to 4 feet 11 inches (150 centimeters) in length, or more."

The massive display of snowy-white flowers growing up the trunk actually includes two kinds of flowers: the familiar \"\"lace caps\"\" on long pedicels, which are sterile; and the tiny green flowers in the center, which are fertile and without petals. The leaves are evergreen, lustrous and leathery. Hydrangea seemannii is native to cloud forests of the Sierra Madre Occidental in Mexico. The extensive shade makes climbing to sunlight imperative. This hydrangea may have two types of growth patterns. If planted free standing, it can grow either as a bush or a vine. If there is support nearby, its long shoots reach out for something to hold on to, and it develops into a vine. In general, the vining habit is found in plants that grow where there is little soil, little light and little space to grow. Vines have all kinds of climbing adaptations for clinging to their hosts."

Most selections have large clusters of white flowers in summer. The showy blooms fade to shades of pink or red before drying to beige. In many areas, they dry right on the plant in fall and stay looking good through most of the winter. Learn more about specific hydrangeas in our Plant Encyclopedia. Growing While Hydrangea paniculata likes full sun, it also does well in part shade. It prefers moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter, so it's helpful to amend your soil with compost, peat moss, or other similar materials before you plant it. Hydrangea paniculata is one of the hardiest varieties; it thrives in Zones 4-8.

"text": "\"First, it's important to know that mophead hydrangeas do not have to be pruned back - ever - unless they are very old. Removing dead stems is the only pruning that must be done for the health of the plant, and these can be removed at any time. Dead blooms can also be removed at any time. But if your hydrangea is getting much too large (or old), and you simply must prune it, use one of the following methods. Use Method One if you have mophead or lacecap hydrangeas (these are the only type hydrangeas that are usually blue or pink) or if you have oakleaf hydrangeas (leaves shaped like large oak leaves, white blooms). Use Method Two if you have paniculatas (Pee Gees) or 'Annabelle' (arborescens). Both Pee Gee and smooth hydrangeas bloom white. Before pruning, be sure to know what type of hydrangea you have. When Cutting Back Hydrangeas Can Be Helpful: (1) All dead stems should be removed from hydrangeas every year. ( 2) After the plants are at least 5 years old, about 1/3 of the older (living) stems can be removed down to the ground each summer."

"text": "How To Prune Climbing Hydrangea How-To's, Landscape Care · Written by Roger250 Comments Climbing Hydrangea is a beautiful and useful climber, but it can get crazy on you if you let it. It is deciduous, but considered a 4 season plant mainly because: It has lush dark green leaves. It flowers white in early summer. It has bright yellow fall color and cinnamon colored exfoliating bark. As you can see it’s a great plant, but you need to be aware of its capabilities. The first year or two it grows slow while it establishes. Then the pace picks up and it becomes quite vigorous. As a climber I’ve yet to see its limit in height. Planted at the base of a large tree it will cling and climb until it reaches the top. I’m talking 60′ no problem."

Trellises can be both functional and beautiful. This sturdy Kaleidoscope Obelisk features colored panels of glass that capture sunbeams while supporting vines. S PEND a week or two touring British flower gardens, and you'll come home with a whole new appreciation for how climbing plants can enhance a garden. Everywhere you turn the walls are covered with roses and climbing hydrangeas; the trees and shrubs are threaded with clematis; pergolas, arches and fences are draped in honeysuckle and ivies; obelisks and tripods are woven with sweet peas, morning glories and thunbergia; passion vines, jasmine, mandevillea and bougainvillea fill pots and planters of every shape. Here is a brief review of the options. A couple things to consider first: Choose supports that are sturdy enough for the vines you want to plant. Supports should be made of weatherproof materials (such as galvanized or powder-coated steel, painted or treated wood), especially if you are planting a perennial vine. Also think about whether you want the support — as well as the plant — to be a decorative garden feature, or if the support's only job is to show off the plant. Decorative plant supports can serve as interesting focal points in the garden (arbors marking an entryway, an obelisk marking the end of a pathway), or can provide a sense of enclosure by screening views and/or delineating boundaries (fences, trellis panels, walls, pergolas)."

"text": "Related Articles How to Deadhead Hydrangeas When to Cut Old Flowers Off of a Hydrangea How to Prune a Hydrangea Bush My New Hydrangea Flowers Turn Brown in Early Summer The plant genus Hydrangea contains more than 75 species of flowering shrubs. Hydrangeas are native to South and East Asia and grow in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness 5 through 9. They grow from 3 to six 6 tall, depending on the variety. You don't need to prune them unless they have become unsightly or overgrown. The practice of removing spent flowers, called deadheading, is a separate chore, not a type of pruning. Deadheading and Cutting Flowers You can remove spent blooms any time of year without harming flowering for the next year. Deadhead by cutting short or long stems in June or July. Make your cut above the first set of large leaves. Cut blooms with long stems for flower arrangements in late spring or early summer before the buds have set for the next year. If you cut blossoms in August, cut them with short stems to avoid eliminating buds that will produce blooms the next year."

Bloom in late spring or summer. Flower clusters may contain sterile flowers (conspicuous, with large, petal-like sepals) or fertile flowers (small, starry petaled); or they may feature a cluster of small fertile flowers surrounded by ring of big sterile ones (these are called lace-cap hydrangeas). Sterile flowers last for a long time (often holding up for months), gradually fading in color. Hydrangeas are good looking as single plants, massed, or in tubs on the patio. Grow quickly and easily in rich, porous soil. Related: Spring’s Most Elegant Flowering Shrub In some hydrangea selections, blue or pink flower color is affected by soil p H—bluest color is produced in strongly acid soils (below p H 5.5), pink or red in neutral to alkaline soils (p H 7.0 and higher). Florists control flower color of potted hydrangeas by controlling soil mix; blue-flowered florists’ plants may show pink blossoms when planted out in less acid soil. Flowers can be made (or kept) blue by applying aluminum sulfate to the soil, kept red (or pink) or made redder by liming the soil or applying superphosphate in quantity. Flower-color treatment is not effective unless started well ahead of bloom."

"text": "\"Home »Flowers How Tall Do Hydrangeas Get? By Tarah Damask; Updated September 21, 2017Hydrangea heights vary greatly depending upon species and particular varieties. From low-growing shrubs to small trees, hydrangeas provide great versatility in both size and color. Identify those hydrangeas that belong to different height groups when planting in the home garden. Whether you need a specimen plant, a trailing variety for decorating a fence, or flowers for mass planting, there's a hydrangea to satisfy your gardening space. Optimal Growth For hydrangea plants that reach full height potential, appropriate care is essential. For vigorous plants, plant hydrangeas in full sun exposure during the morning and shade in the afternoon. Morning sun dries dew as a preventive measure to avoid fungal infection. Maintain well-drained soil high in organic content, according to the Clemson University Extension. Do not plant hydrangeas in areas affected by extremely warm temperatures or drought as injury may occur."

"text": "How To Prune Hydrangeas. Despite what you may read, most Hydrangeas do require annual pruning. And the reasons are simple. If you want to keep your Hydrangeas in good shape, producing lots of large flowers and prolong their productive life, you need to prune them. Some need a lot of pruning, some very little, however all will benefit. And they are easy to prune, if you know what sort of wood your hydrangea flowers on you will know when to prune it. Hydrangeas come in a range of types or species, and different Hydrangeas require different pruning techniques, they need to be pruned at different times. The main thing to consider with hydrangeas is to find if it is a type that flowers on old wood, or new wood. Once we know how they flower, we know the best time to prune hydrangeas. For example, those that flower on old growth are best pruned just after after flowering."

Species See text Hydrangea ( / h aɪ ˈ d r eɪ n dʒ i ə /; [1] common names hydrangea or hortensia) is a genus of 70–75 species of flowering plants native to southern and eastern Asia (China, Japan, Korea, the Himalayas, and Indonesia) and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Japan, and Korea. Most are shrubs 1 to 3 meters tall, but some are small trees, and others lianas reaching up to 30 m (98 ft) by climbing up trees. They can be either deciduous or evergreen, though the widely cultivated temperate species are all deciduous. [ 2]Having been introduced to the Azores, H. macrophylla is now very common, particularly on Faial, which is known as the \"\"blue island\"\" due to the vast number of hydrangeas present on the island."

Pinterest Facebook Twitter Email Jason Kisner By: Julie A Martens Related To: Flowers Perennials Plants Shrubs Botanical Names: Hydrangea macrophylla (mophead or French hydrangeas), Hydrangea paniculata (panicle hydrangea), Hydrangea quercifolia (oakleaf hydrangea), climbing hydrangea ( Hydrangea anomala petiolaris ), smooth hydrangea ( Hydrangea arborescens)When are hydrangeas in season? With these versatile shrubs, hydrangea season extends far beyond the actual bloom time because faded blooms add fall and even winter interest. Some hydrangea shrubs, like oakleaf hydrangea, also stage a strong fall foliage show. But if your basic question is when do hydrangeas bloom, you’ll discover the answer isn’t quite so simple. In general, different types of hydrangeas flower at different times of the year. For instance, Hydrangea macrophylla, the mophead or French hydrangea, flowers from late spring to midsummer in the South. The exceptions are the newer reblooming hydrangeas, which can pump out blooms the whole season in good growing conditions. Repeat-blooming hydrangeas extend the traditional hydrangea season by months."

Climbing hydrangeas are desirable for their hardiness, large, beautiful, spring-blooming white flowers and climbing habit, although they can also be grown as shrubs. Climbing hydrangeas are cold-hardy to United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) growing zone 4, according to the University of Connecticut. Petiolaris Petiolaris, a subspecies of Hydrangea anomala, has strong, woody vines and climbs by both twining and putting out rootlets. It can grow to an average height of 40 feet tall, according to the Missouri Botanical Garden. It also has a strong branching habit, and can grow as a shrub to a height and width of about 3 or 4 feet. The leaves are a deep dark glossy green. This plant does not do well in subtropical or tropical climates, as it prefers consistently cool, moist soil and mild temperatures. \"\" Miranda\"\"A variety of the subspecies H. anomala petiolaris, \"\"Miranda\"\" is known for its great heights.

Climbing vines can be used to add background to a garden bed, shield an unsightly view, or supply fragrance. In order to successfully use vines and other climbers, you must first understand the best growing condition for each particular type of plant. The Better Homes and Gardens Plant Encyclopedia provides in-depth growing information on a wide range of vines, such as USDA Hardiness Zone, sun or shade preferences, and moisture limitations. The characteristics -- flowering, fruiting, mature height -- of each climbing vine is also explained, as are design suggestions, plant combinations, and other helpful growing tips.

The blue-green leaves are divided into leaflets, giving it a wonderfully soft texture as it scales walls, pergolas, and other structures. Give it a sturdy support -- akebia can get to be big at maturity and may crush small structures. If the flowers are pollinated, akebia may produce edible, sausage-shaped fruits -- but the vines usually need a different variety planted nearby to produce the fruits."

View in: Quick Time | Real Player Resource Type: Video Format: Quick Time or Real Player Length: 1 min, 1 sec Topics Covered: The Age of Darwin Backgrounder Backgrounder Georges Cuvier: The notion of creatures being simply wiped from the face of the Earth was anathema to many early naturalists. When fossil remains were found that were unlike anything living at the time, some scientists argued that they were unusual examples of living creatures, or that animals known only from fossils must still survive in some unexplored part of the world. There were a few naturalists who believed that animals or plants of which only fossil remains could be found did indeed represent forms that no longer existed. But it was only at the end of the 18th century that the great French paleontologist and anatomist Georges Cuvier was able to demonstrate convincingly that extinctions were real. Much of Cuvier's research produced knowledge that would ultimately support Darwin's theory of evolution, although Cuvier himself did not realize it. He was the first to demonstrate that the different strata of rock in the Paris basin each had its own mammal fauna. Furthermore, he showed that the lower a stratum was, the more different its fossil animals were from species living in the present."

This zone covers more than half the Earth's surface. Also from world.geography.org/5-abyssal-plain.html and enotes.com/earth-science/abyssal-plains It is the flattest and smoothest. This zone is not very much explored because the depth range is 3000-6000 meters below sea level and has temperatures from -0.5c to -4c. There is no water movement in the Abyssal Plain because it is so deep. There is no light in the Abyssal Plain because the dept in meters is 3000-6000 and light from the surface cannot reach that far down. SALT The amount of salt changes throughout this ecosystem.

"text": "The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings Marathon to End All Marathons: A Binge-Watching Guide How did it come to this? After 14 years and more than 20 hours of epic fantasy brought to life onscreen, we come to it at last—the great marathon of our time. The same way nothing was the same when fans walked out of the theater after “Stars Wars” in 1977, “The Lord of the Rings” was the trilogy that changed everything for me. Between ages 10 and 12, I sat mesmerized in theaters each year as LOTR shattered what I thought a movie was capable of depicting and re-forged it on a far grander scale. It was a touchstone for Hollywood and for the 21st century, too. Special effects never went back. The premiere of “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” brings the film count to six with two complete trilogies, equalling the total of current “Stars Wars” films. ( Until next year, that is, when Episodes VII-IX blast the status quo to Alderaan and create a whole new series dynamic to take the binge-watching marathon into uncharted territory.) In the meantime, “Stars Wars” super-fans have their Machete Order, and so too should the noble fellowship of “Lord of the Rings” and “Hobbit” disciples have a selection of creative viewing options when undertaking the bravest of superfan quests: the binge-watching marathon. I’ve embarked upon and finished many a LOTR marathon."

The Geographic South Pole is the southernmost point on Earth. It is located on the ice-covered continent of Antarctica. In the early 1900s, the South Pole was one of the last unexplored places on Earth. Amundsen was in a hurry to start the long journey to the South Pole. He was in a race against British explorer Robert Falcon Scott. Both Amundsen and Scott wanted to be the first to reach the South Pole. Amundsen and his team set out on September 8, 1911, when it was still winter in the Southern Hemisphere. The extremely cold temperatures forced them to turn back."

Could some dinosaurs still be alive in the deep jungles of Africa? | Source Dinosaurs!It's interesting to wonder what the world would be like if there were dinosaurs still alive today. Unfortunately, when we were kids we all learned how they died off in some mass extinction, never to be seen again on this earth. It might have been depressing news for a ten-year-old, but by now most of us surely realize that it’s probably a good thing for humans that dinosaurs aren’t around anymore. In fact, if it wasn’t for the calamity that occurred some 65 million years ago which caused the death of the dinosaurs, we mammals might never have gotten our shot. The prevalent theory is that the impact of a large object zooming in from space caused a global disaster that killed off anything bigger than a rabbit. However, climate changes, geological upheavals and even widespread disease outbreaks have all been pointed out as possible causes. Whatever happened to them, sadly the dinosaurs are gone forever."

"text": "One should be forgiven for thinking that the most under-explored ecosystem in the world is tropical rainforests or cave systems since new species are frequently uncovered in such places. But new research in the open-access journal PLo S ONE finds that the least explored part of the world is the deep sea, especially what lies beneath the open ocean. Ironically, not only does this ecosystem remain the least explored, it is also the world’s largest habitat. Analyzing seven million records of the world’s marine life, the researchers found that the majority of our knowledge of marine species comes from shallow waters. “It’s shocking that in 2010, the International Year of Biodiversity, the largest habitat on Earth remains virtually unexplored. On a more positive note, being able to highlight gaps in our knowledge is an important step towards filling them,” said research head Tom Webb, a marine ecologist from the University of Sheffield. The Bathycyroe fosteri is common among midwater plankton communities. Photo by: MAR-ECO/Marsh Youngbluth. Beginning in the 19th Century, marine scientists theorized that the ocean’s deep waters—between the surface and floor—was largely devoid of life. However, recent research, including the Census of Marine Life, a ten year program to survey life in the world’s oceans that wraps up in October, has shown that is simply not the case."

More simply, fertility isn't easily defined if you get technical about it. Plains tend to be very fertile across large regions, but you can often find better pockets in smaller regions like valleys. You can also push high yields with irrigation in southern regions (which have longer growing seasons), even in poor soils. Nevertheless, my vote goes to corn (maize) out of the US Midwest on a calorie per acre basis, over a large area. If nothing else, it's definitely the winner in situ . You might be able to find potentially equally fertile regions (e.g. Ukraine), but the technology and breeding for Midwestern corn give it the win. Most of the stuff in the upper Midwest is rainfed, by the way. Rice was historically very competitive with corn, but it has fallen behind (for various reasons).

While in previous games in the series it was possible to explore uncharted systems, there was no in-game benefit for doing so. Elite Dangerous changes this by making exploration a central part of the game, including its own ranking system (alongside combat and trading). How Exploring Works Exploration in Elite Dangerous is a deliberate and concentrated effort - it is not just a race to jump into a system before anyone else and quickly run a scan to “claim” the system. To truly “explore” a system and appreciate the value of each planet or other body in a system, it must be scanned with dedicated equipment, one astronomical body at a time. This scanning takes two steps: The “ discovery ” step, where you discover what bodies (i.e. planets, moons asteroid fields etc) are present in a system. The “ scan ” step, where you scan each unexplored body individually to get more details. You can just complete the “discovery” step and move on to the next system, but you get more money the more you scan. Properly exploring a system involves using the “discovery” step to first locate bodies in a system, and the “scan” step to gather detailed information that is worth substantially more money than location alone. Exploring & Fuel To go any distance, you're going to need to have fuel."

"text": "\"Alaka Halder, Princeton University '15Answered Jun 20, 2014 · Author has 310 answers and 1.5m answer views There are no independent variables in observational studies. In an observational study, the researcher compares subjects against a control group and comes to a conclusion. Hypothetical example: if we have a research study comparing the risk of developing liver cancer between (1) people who drink some alcohol daily, and (2) teetotalers. In an observational study, the researcher has no \"\"control\"\" over the experiment. That is, he cannot manipulate or control some kind of \"\"independent\"\" variable. He can only observe the differences that arise in two or more different \"\"groups\"\" of subjects. As there is no independent variable, it’s problematic to assume cause and effect relationships. We are really just observing correlations. Here's a good, introductory treatment of observational studies, their pros and cons, and how such studies differ from experimental studies ( Link). I'm not sure of the questioner's level of statistical knowledge, so I've kept my answer simple."

However, the following steps characterize the majority of scientific investigations: Step 1: Make observations Step 2: Propose a hypothesis to explain observations Step 3: Test the hypothesis with further observations or experiments Step 4: Analyze data Step 5: State conclusions about hypothesis based on data analysis Each of these steps is explained briefly below, and in more detail later in this section. Step 1: Make observations A scientific inquiry typically starts with observations. Often, simple observations will trigger a question in the researcher's mind. Example: A biologist frequently sees monarch caterpillars feeding on milkweed plants, but rarely sees them feeding on other types of plants. She wonders if it is because the caterpillars prefer milkweed over other food choices. Step 2: Propose a hypothesis The researcher develops a hypothesis (singular) or hypotheses (plural) to explain these observations. A hypothesis is a tentative explanation of a phenomenon or observation (s) that can be supported or falsified by further observations or experimentation. Example: The researcher hypothesizes that monarch caterpillars prefer to feed on milkweed compared to other common plants. ( Notice how the hypothesis is a statement, not a question as in step 1. )"

"text": "\"Internal validity From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search In scientific research, internal validity is the extent to which a causal conclusion based on a study is warranted, which is determined by the degree to which a study minimizes systematic error (or 'bias'). It contrasts with external validity, the degree to which it is warranted to generalize results to other contexts. Contents [ hide ]1 Details2 Factors affecting internal validity3 Threats to internal validity3.1 Ambiguous temporal precedence3.2 Confounding3.3 Selection bias3.4 History3.5 Maturation3.6 Repeated testing (also referred to as testing effects)3.7 Instrument change (instrumentality)3.8 Regression toward the mean3.9 Mortality/differential attrition3.10 Selection-maturation interaction3.11 Diffusion3.12 Compensatory rivalry/resentful demoralization3.13 Experimenter bias4 See also5 References6 External links Details [ edit]Inferences are said to possess internal validity if a causal relation between two variables is properly demonstrated. [ 1] [2] A causal inference may be based on a relation when three criteria are satisfied:the \"\"cause\"\" precedes the \"\"effect\"\" in time (temporal precedence),the \"\"cause\"\" and the \"\"effect\"\" are related (covariation), andthere are no plausible alternative explanations for the observed covariation (nonspuriousness). [ 2]In scientific experimental settings, researchers often manipulate a variable (the independent variable) to see what effect it has on a second variable (the dependent variable ). [ 3] For example, a researcher might, for different experimental groups, manipulate the dosage of a particular drug between groups to see what effect it has on health. In this example, the researcher wants to make a causal inference, namely, that different doses of the drug may be held responsible for observed changes or differences. When the researcher may confidently attribute the observed changes or differences in the dependent variable to the independent variable, and when the researcher can rule out other explanations (or rival hypotheses ), then the causal inference is said to be internally valid. [ 4]In many cases, however, the magnitude of effects found in the dependent variable may not just depend onvariations in the independent variable,the power of the instruments and statistical procedures used to measure and detect the effects, andthe choice of statistical methods (see: Statistical conclusion validity ). Rather, a number of variables or circumstances uncontrolled for (or uncontrollable) may lead to additional or alternative explanations (a) for the effects found and/or (b) for the magnitude of the effects found."

"text": "\"Basics Forming a Good Hypothesis for Scientific Research By Kendra Cherry Updated April 08, 2018Share Pin Email Print101cats / Getty Images A hypothesis is a tentative statement about the relationship between two or more variables. It is a specific, testable prediction about what you expect to happen in a study. For example, a study designed to look at the relationship between sleep deprivation and test performance might have a hypothesis that states, \"\"This study is designed to assess the hypothesis that sleep-deprived people will perform worse on a test than individuals who are not sleep deprived. \"\" Let's take a closer look at how a hypothesis is used, formed, and tested in scientific research. How Is a Hypothesis Used in the Scientific Method? In the scientific method, whether it involves research in psychology, biology, or some other area, a hypothesis represents what the researchers think will happen in an experiment. The scientific method involves the following steps: Forming a question Performing background research Creating a hypothesis Designing an experiment Collecting data Analyzing the results Drawing conclusions Communicating the results The hypothesis is what the researchers' predict the relationship between two or more variables, but it involves more than a guess. Most of the time, the hypothesis begins with a question which is then explored through background research. It is only at this point that researchers begin to develop a testable hypothesis. In a study exploring the effects of a particular drug, the hypothesis might be that researchers expect the drug to have some type of effect on the symptoms of a specific illness."

What happens if the lurking variable has no effect on the explanatory variable? With no association between the lurking variable and the explanatory variable, there can be no confounding. Problem with observational studies Observational studies of the effect of one variable on another often fail because of confounding between the explanatory variable and one or more lurking variables. Treatment A specific condition applied to the individuals in an experiment If a treatment has several explanatory variables, a treatment is a combination of specific values of these variables Experimental units Smallest collection of individuals to which treatments are applied Subjects Experimental units that are human beings Factors Another name for explanatory variables.

"title": "https://explorable.com/observational-study\nObservational Study",
"text": "In the fields of social science, psychology, epidemiology, medicine and others, observational study is an essential tool. In classical scientific experiments, the researcher finds a way to manipulate the independent variables to see the effect this has on the dependent variables. However, manipulating the independent variable is sometimes impractical or outright unethical. For example, a neuroscientist may be interested in the outcomes of patients with a rare kind of brain damage. But it will never be feasible to deliberately cause that kind of brain damage (the independent variable here) in an experimental group to measure patient outcomes (the dependent variable). Thus, observational methods (sometimes called “un-manipulated studies”) entail merely observing phenomena that are already underway. For a study of long-term effects of brain damage, for example, researchers have to use patients with pre-existing brain damage or their medical records. An observational study can then make inferences from that small sample to the general population, helping neuroscientists understand any new instances of that kind of brain damage. The researcher may want to study an extremely small sample group, so it is easier to start with known cases and works backwards. The thalidomide cases, for example, are an example of an observational study where researchers had to work backwards and establish that the drug was the cause of certain disabilities."

However, the research of different psychologists is designed with different goals in mind, and the different goals require different approaches. These varying approaches, summarized in Table 2.2 “Characteristics of the Three Research Designs”, are known as research designs.

A research design involves a series of rational decision-making choices depending upon the variousoptions available to the researchers.

Let us look at each one of these elements.1. Purpose of the Study From the perspective of purpose of the study, a research can be exploratory, descriptive, andexplanatory (the distinctions we have already discussed). As we have already covered a number ofsteps in the research process, at this stage it is assumed that we are pretty sure about what we arelooking for whereby we have gone much beyond the stage of an exploratory study (all studies haveelements of exploration in them). Beyond the exploratory stage now we are entering into the formal stage of delineating the plan for datacollection, data processing, and data analysis. Here our focus is on whether our study is going to be adescriptive or explanatory. The essential difference between descriptive and explanatory studies lies intheir objectives."

Provide examples of how social psychologists measure the variables they are interested in. Review the three types of research designs, and evaluate the strengths and limitations of each type. Consider the role of validity in research, and describe how research programs should be evaluated. Social psychologists are not the only people interested in understanding and predicting social behavior or the only people who study it. Social behavior is also considered by religious leaders, philosophers, politicians, novelists, and others, and it is a common topic on TV shows. But the social psychological approach to understanding social behavior goes beyond the mere observation of human actions. Social psychologists believe that a true understanding of the causes of social behavior can only be obtained through a systematic scientific approach, and that is why they conduct scientific research. Social psychologists believe that the study of social behavior should be empirical —that is, based on the collection and systematic analysis of observable data. The Importance of Scientific Research Because social psychology concerns the relationships among people, and because we can frequently find answers to questions about human behavior by using our own common sense or intuition, many people think that it is not necessary to study it empirically (Lilienfeld, 2011)."

It contains the areas of abnormal psychology, biological psychology, cognitive psychology, comparative psychology, developmental psychology, personality psychology, social psychology and others. All branches of psychology can have a research component to them. Research psychology is contrasted with applied psychology. Research in psychology is conducted in broad accord with the standards of the scientific method, encompassing both qualitative ethological and quantitative statistical modalities to generate and evaluate explanatory hypotheses with regard to psychological phenomena. Where research ethics and the state of development in a given research domain permits, investigation may be pursued by experimental protocols. Psychology tends to be eclectic, drawing on scientific knowledge from other fields to help explain and understand psychological phenomena. Qualitative psychological research utilizes a broad spectrum of observational methods, including action research, ethography, exploratory statistics, structured interviews, and participant observation, to enable the gathering of rich information unattainable by classical experimentation. Research in humanistic psychology is more typically pursued by ethnographic, historical, and historiographic methods. The testing of different aspects of psychological function is a significant area of contemporary psychology."

An example of this type of research would be altering the amount of a treatment and measuring the effect on study participants. 2.

"text": "\"Correlation and Linear Regression Author: Lisa Sullivan, Ph DProfessor of Biostatistics Boston University School of Public Health Introduction In this section we discuss correlation analysis which is a technique used to quantify the associations between two continuous variables. For example, we might want to quantify the association between body mass index and systolic blood pressure, or between hours of exercise per week and percent body fat. Regression analysis is a related technique to assess the relationship between an outcome variable and one or more risk factors or confounding variables (confounding is discussed later). The outcome variable is also called the response or dependent variable, and the risk factors and confounders are called the predictors, or explanatory or independent variables. In regression analysis, the dependent variable is denoted \"\"Y\"\" and the independent variables are denoted by \"\"X\"\". [ NOTE: The term \"\"predictor\"\" can be misleading if it is interpreted as the ability to predict even beyond the limits of the data. Also, the term \"\"explanatory variable\"\" might give an impression of a causal effect in a situation in which inferences should be limited to identifying associations. The terms \"\"independent\"\" and \"\"dependent\"\" variable are less subject to these interpretations as they do not strongly imply cause and effect. Learning Objectives After completing this module, the student will be able to: Define and provide examples of dependent and independent variables in a study of a public health problem Compute and interpret a correlation coefficient Compute and interpret coefficients in a linear regression analysis Correlation Analysis In correlation analysis, we estimate a sample correlation coefficient, more specifically the Pearson Product Moment correlation coefficient. The sample correlation coefficient, denoted r,ranges between -1 and +1 and quantifies the direction and strength of the linear association between the two variables."

As such, an understanding of methodology will facilitate our understanding of basic statistics. Validity A key concept relevant to a discussion of research methodology is that of validity. When an individual asks, \"\"Is this study valid? \"\", they are questioning the validity of at least one aspect of the study. There are four types of validity that can be discussed in relation to research and statistics."

"text": "\"Basics Forming a Good Hypothesis for Scientific Research By Kendra Cherry Updated April 08, 2018Share Pin Email Print101cats / Getty Images A hypothesis is a tentative statement about the relationship between two or more variables. It is a specific, testable prediction about what you expect to happen in a study. For example, a study designed to look at the relationship between sleep deprivation and test performance might have a hypothesis that states, \"\"This study is designed to assess the hypothesis that sleep-deprived people will perform worse on a test than individuals who are not sleep deprived. \"\" Let's take a closer look at how a hypothesis is used, formed, and tested in scientific research. How Is a Hypothesis Used in the Scientific Method? In the scientific method, whether it involves research in psychology, biology, or some other area, a hypothesis represents what the researchers think will happen in an experiment. The scientific method involves the following steps: Forming a question Performing background research Creating a hypothesis Designing an experiment Collecting data Analyzing the results Drawing conclusions Communicating the results The hypothesis is what the researchers' predict the relationship between two or more variables, but it involves more than a guess. Most of the time, the hypothesis begins with a question which is then explored through background research. It is only at this point that researchers begin to develop a testable hypothesis. In a study exploring the effects of a particular drug, the hypothesis might be that researchers expect the drug to have some type of effect on the symptoms of a specific illness."

Kidneys play a very important role in heathy body and it serves us in many ways. Impaired kidney function can not guarantee us a normal life, so kidney failure patients need to take some actions to improve their kidney function, so as to live a better life. Many oral medicines can be used to treat kidney failure, but some of them cause serious side effects if applied for a long time. Therefore, natural ways to improve kidney function are urgently needed. In our daily life, there are many things that kidney failure patients can do to support the kidney:1. Foods to support kidney function What we eat affect our physical condition and illness condition directly. Damaged kidneys can not bear heavy burden, so if we are suffering from kidney failure, we need to adjust foods we eat every day to reduce kidney burden. And this will help to protect residual kidney function for being affected to some extent. Foods beneficial for kidney failure patients include low-salt foods, high quality protein foods, foods with minerals calcium and magnesium, vitamin A, B, C, E as well certain enzymes such as L-arginine and L-methionine."

In our daily life, many conditions can cause kidney shrinkage and once this abnormal condition occurs, treatment and a well-planed diet are necessary. Here, we will give an overall introduction about the cause, treatment and diet for kidney shrinkage. What can cause kidney shrinkage? Kidney shrinkage can be attributable to many conditions or illnesses like long standing kidney infection, renal ischemia, blockage of renal artery, reflux nephropathy and kidney failure and so on. In many cases, kidney shrinkage occurs as a result of kidney failure which is the worst kidney condition and also the final consequence of both chronic and acute kidney problem. For people with kidney shrinkage caused by kidney failure, their residual kidney function is proportional to the size of their kidney. Usually, the larger the kidney, the better the kidney function. Therefore, kidney size is a way for us to estimate the residual kidney function."

Knowing how to lower creatinine levels in the kidneys is very important. The amino acids methionine, arginine, and glycine are processed in the kidneys to produce guanidinoacetic acid, which is then sent to the liver where it is converted to another amino acid called creatine. Creatinine is a waste byproduct of metabolizing creatine. The production of natural creatine is a protein building block that is stored in your muscles and used as energy. When your kidneys are healthy, creatinine is safely removed from the body. The aim of normal creatinine levels in the blood should range between 0.6 to 1.2 mg/d L for men, and 0.5 to 1.1 mg/d L for women. Men are thought to have higher creatinine levels because they have greater muscle mass. Those with chronic kidney disease or kidney problems in general will have a buildup of creatinine in the blood. Other factors that lead to higher creatinine levels include strenuous exercise, low water intake and dehydration, diabetes, hypertension, excessive blood loss, thyroid disorders, and taking certain medications like chemotherapy drugs, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors.

He will do more blood tests to see if the liver cells have become damaged: 1) the liver enzymes are made by the liver cells... when there is damage to the liver cells, these enzymes will leak out and go higher in the blood. However, there is only one liver enzyme that is specific to the liver (because it is made mostly by the liver cells) and that is the ALT. The other enzymes are found in other organs, also.

Considering their importance, eating a diet to promote kidney health could be one of the best things you can do. The following seven foods will support your kidneys and make their job easier.7 Foods That Support Kidney Function1. Cherries These tasty little fruits help reduce redness and swelling and contain a healthy amount of vitamin C as well as vitamin K, folate, vitamin B6, magnesium, and citrate. The more tart the cherry, the higher the level of citrate. Citrate reduces uric acid in the bloodstream which can lead to gout and arthritis.

These are the biggest drainage system of the body which flushes out all the toxins and waste products of metabolism that are produced inside the body. What is chronic kidney disease? Kidney disease is better known as chronic kidney disease. It is characterized by a gradual loss of function of both the kidneys over a period of time. Initially it may remain asymptomatic after which symptoms of a full blown kidney disease are evident. Chronic kidney disease if left unchecked or unnoticed may lead to permanent loss of kidney function leading to kidney failure which is an irreversible condition. How diabetes can affect the kidneys? This condition is also called as diabetic kidney disease or “Diabetic nephropathy”. In people with persistently high blood sugar levels (Diabetics), there is damage to the glomeruli which leads to micro seepage of albumin proteins from the blood into the urine."

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is used to estimate how much blood passes through the tiny filters in kidneys, called glomeruli, each minute. If your GFR value is lower than the normal (100ml/min~140ml/min), it indicates that your kidney isn’t functioning optimally. To know how to improve it, we must first know risks of low GFR value. Risks Glomerular filtration rate is considered by medical professionals to be the best measure of kidney function. The following factors are more likely to damage kidney function and then cause decreasing GFR value. ◆ Diabetes◆ High blood pressure◆ Frequent urinary tract infections◆ Family history of kidney disease such as PKD◆ Excessive bleeding◆ Heart disease The above factors all can contribute to triggers of low GFR value, because the kidney functioning cells will be damaged as a consequence of poor blood and oxygen supply when these risks induce kidney damage. How to improve GFR level naturally? Since trends in the GFR provide us with an overview of how the kidneys are functioning, repairing damaged kidney function is the only effective way to improve GFR value. Thereby, the best method is to make the damaged kidney functioning cells alive again."

Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for strokes, heart attacks, heart failure and aneurysms and is a leading cause of chronic renal (kidney) failure. Even moderate elevation of arterial blood pressure leads to a shortened life expectancy. When a person's systolic blood pressure is consistently 140mm Hg or greater, and/or their diastolic blood pressure is consistently 90mm Hg or greater, they are considered to have hypertension. Mayo Clinic website specifies blood pressure is normal if it's below 120/80. In patients with diabetes mellitus (type 2 diabetes) or kidney disease, studies have shown that blood pressure over 130/80 mm Hg should be considered high and warrants further treatment. The only test for hypertension is a blood pressure measurement. If not in the presence of other disorders, hypertension usually produces no symptoms although some people report headaches, fatigue, dizziness, blurred vision, facial flushing or tinnitus. Hypertension is often confused with mental tension, stress and anxiety. While chronic anxiety and/or irritability are associated with poor outcomes in people with hypertension, those stresses alone do not cause it."

"text": "\"There has yet to be a culture discovered which lacks music. Making music is seen historically to be as fundamental as the characteristically human activities as drawing and painting. Many even go so far as to compare music to language and claim that music functions as a \"\"universal language.\"\" But it is rarely the same music, however, that all peoples respond to. What is it that we are responding to when we listen to music? Strictly speaking, music is not a language, (1) because it has neither outside referents nor easily detectable meaning. Ludwig Wittgenstein explains that although we understand music in a similar way as we understand language, music is not a language because we still cannot communicate through music as we can through language. ( 2) More recently, Susanne Langer argues that although we understand music as symbol, because we are so caught up in seeing symbolic form function like language we tend to want to make music into a language. But, Langer argues, music is not a kind of language (3) because the significance of music lies not in what we traditionally call meaning but rather with the articulation of sound. Langer explains that music, like language, is an articulate form. \"\""

Phil Davies | Senior Writer Published September 1, 2007 | September 2007 issue Tweet Share Post Email Print December 12, 1791, was a red-letter day in the financial history of the young United States. That day a bank unlike any previously seen in America opened for business in Carpenters’ Hall in Philadelphia, then the seat of the federal government. The new bank was a national bank, authorized by Congress to hold $10 million in capital—an astronomical sum at the time—and operate across state borders. And it was a quasi-public institution, owned mostly by businessmen and lawyers motivated by profit, but also intended to serve the public interest by improving the financial standing of the federal government and fostering economic growth. Businessmen and investors across the nation had anticipated the opening of the Bank of the United States with mounting excitement for almost a year. In July 1791, a public offering of bank stock sold out in less than an hour, setting off frenzied speculation in bank shares. Stockholders had chosen directors hailing from eight states to run the bank. By December, it was ready to begin accepting deposits, making loans, selling U. S. Treasury bonds and issuing paper currency backed by gold and silver coin stored in its vaults. The following year, bank branches would be established in Boston, New York, Baltimore and Charleston, S. C., to facilitate the flow of money and credit to various regions of the country; four more branches would follow by 1805."

"text": "\"'Taken' Writer to Script Quasi-Sequel to 'Shooter' Called 'The Sword'by Ben Pearson June 6, 2012 Source: Heat Vision Antoine Fuqua's 2007 film Shooter was a barely-serviceable action movie that came and went without much fanfare, but it was actually based on a Stephen Hunter's 1993 novel called Point of Impact, the first of a series that featured the character of Bob Lee Swagger (played by Mark Wahlberg in Shooter ). Now, THR says Taken writer Robert Mark Kamen has been hired to adapt the script for The Sword, a film based on the fourth book in Hunter's book series, The 47th Samurai. In the film, Swagger discovers a priceless sword that the Yakuza are willing to kill for and he must become a samurai in order to survive. More below!There's no word yet on whether or not Wahlberg is attached or interested in reprising his role this time out or if the project will even address the events in Shooter, but this sounds like exactly the type of mid-level action film in which the actor normally shines. Kamen has extensive writing credits in the genre, with The Karate Kid, The Fifth Element, The Transporter, and the upcoming Taken 2 under his belt. This is the latest in a recent string of stories involving the Yakuza, including projects from John Woo, Warrior director Gavin O'Connor, and Safe House helmer Daniel Espinosa. There's no director or start date announced yet, but Kamen's normally got a pretty quick turnaround time on scripts, so we should be hearing more soon.

Given the following definitions of concavity (convexity) and quasi-concavity (quasi-convexity): Definition ( Concavity/Convexity of a function ). Let f: R n → R. We say that f is concave if for all x, y ∈ R n and for all λ ∈ [ 0, 1] we have f ( λ x + ( 1 − λ) y) ≥ λ f ( x) + ( 1 − λ) f ( y). And a function is convex if − f is concave, or f ( λ x + ( 1 − λ) y) ≤ λ f ( x) + ( 1 − λ) f ( y). Definition ( Quasi-concave/Quasi-convex ). Let f: R n → R. We say that f is quasi-concave if for all x, y ∈ R n and for all λ ∈ [ 0, 1] we have f ( λ x + ( 1 − λ) y) ≥ min { f ( x), f ( y) }. And a function is quasi-convex if − f is quasi-concave, or f ( λ x + ( 1 − λ) y) ≤ max { f ( x), f ( y) }. Concavity (Convexity) implies quasi-concavity (quasi-convexity) but not the other way around.

They all were proficient in Latin. From the Middle Ages until about the middle of the 20th century, Latin was a central part of a man’s schooling in the West. Along with logic and rhetoric, grammar (as Latin was then known) was included as part of the Trivium – the foundation of a medieval liberal arts education. From Latin, all scholarship flowed and it was truly the gateway to the life of the mind, as the bulk of scientific, religious, legal, and philosophical literature was written in the language until about the 16 th century. To immerse oneself in classical and humanistic studies, Latin was a must. Grammar schools in Europe and especially England during this time were Latin schools, and the first secondary school established in America by the Puritans was a Latin school as well. But beginning in the 14 th century, writers started to use the vernacular in their works, which slowly chipped away at Latin’s central importance in education. This trend for English-language learning accelerated in the 19 th century; schools shifted from turning out future clergymen to graduating businessmen who would take their place in an industrializing economy. An emphasis on the liberal arts slowly gave way to what was considered a more practical education in reading, writing, and arithmetic."

The two new terms in the equation (compared to what you have seen in physics and dynamics, for example) are the internal energy and the chemical energy. For most situtations in this class, we will neglect the chemical energy. Let’s focus on the internal energy, u. It is associated with the random or disorganized motion of the particles.u is a function of the state of the system. Thus u = u (p, T), or u = u (p, v), or u = u (v,T). Recall that for pure substances the entire state of the system is specified if any two properties are specified. We will discuss the equations that relate the internal energy to these other variables later in the class. The change in energy of a system is equal to the difference between the heat added to the system and the work done by the system. ("

[ 2] It is designed with a sole emphasis on kicks to free the use of one's hands and prevent them from being damaged during a battle, something that is disastrous to a chef like Sanji or Zeff. [ 3] As a result, practitioners tend to drop into certain stances in which their upper-body portions are most relaxed, such as placing their hands inside their pockets or crossing their arms together across their chest, and only puts them into action whenever the event requires them to do certain maneuvers such as handstands, which aren't prohibited. While Zeff and Sanji are the main users of the style, there have been two examples other of characters able to perform it due to Devil Fruit powers being used on Sanji. In Thriller Bark zombie penguin Inuppe was shown using the same style as Sanji's shadow was placed inside him by Gecko Moria. In Punk Hazard, Nami 's body was able to perform it when Law placed Sanji's mind inside her. While Sanji rarely takes it to the level that earned Zeff his nickname \"\"Red Leg\"\", he still displays an intense level of attacking power with each kick and the average fighter simply cannot stand up to him. The only prominent times when (one of) Sanji's feet take on the red-color theme is when he uses his Diable Jambe technique. Some of his attacks are powerful enough to rearrange his opponent's face. As a fighting style, the style boasts a wide and impressive array of kicks, coupled with superior acrobatic skills, making it an extremely versatile fighting technique, allowing Sanji to effectively weave continuous and powerful attacks upon adversaries and combine the power of his kicks with his other crewmates' respective strengths for devastating team combinations."

Think of tempo as the speed of the music. Tempo comes from the Latin word tempus meaning \"\"time.\"\" Once set, the tempo is effective throughout the duration of the music unless the composer indicates otherwise. Tempo is usually measured in beats per minute. A slower tempo has fewer beats per minute, or BPM.

"text": "\"Buy this issue Share |March 2004 | Volume 61 | Number 6What Research Says About Reading Pages 12-17Issue Table of Contents | Read Article Abstract The Science of Reading Research G. Reid Lyon and Vinita Chhabra To prevent reading failure, educators must understand and act on scientific evidence. Because students who do not learn to read will have difficulty mastering academic content, succeeding in school, and fulfilling their life potential, the schools' fundamental responsibility is to ensure that all students read proficiently. Yet that goal remains elusive. The report of the most recent National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) indicates that once again, 4th, 8th, and 12th grade reading scores are abysmally low, particularly among disadvantaged students (National Center for Education Statistics, 2003). This situation is especially distressing because we now know that the majority of students can learn to read irrespective of their backgrounds— if their reading instruction is grounded in the converging scientific evidence about how reading develops, why many students have difficulties, and how we can prevent reading failure (Lyon, 2002; Moats, 1999; Shaywitz, 2003). Unfortunately, many teachers do not have the background or training they need to access this information and implement research-based reading instruction in their classrooms. Instead of looking to authoritative and valid evidence of what works, teachers frequently rely on experience and anecdotal information to guide their teaching. Although experience is valuable, depending on experience alone typically leaves many children behind. To provide reading instruction that will enable all students to succeed, educators must also have basic information about scientific knowledge: how it is developed and how it should guide the selection and implementation of instructional programs, strategies, and approaches (Mc Cardle & Chhabra, 2004; Moats, 1999; Stanovich & Stanovich, 2003). Understanding Scientific Evidence Scientific evidence must become a fundamental part of teaching."

"text": "How Often Should I Replace My Tennis Shoes? Yes We Foot March 1, 2014. Posted in Tips & Tricks No Comments Many people wonder how often they need to replace their tennis shoes. Whether you prefer a thick layer of cushioning between you and the pavement, minimal design for a barefoot feel, or the fast response of a performance-quality shoe, three factors can help you determine when to replace your tennis shoes: Frequency: How often you play or exercise will determine how quickly your tennis shoes wear out. Someone who plays every day will wear out their sneakers quicker than someone who plays just once a week. One suggestion if you work out frequently is to switch back and forth between two pair of sneakers. Playing style: A player’s style of play will create unique wear patterns on their sneakers. For women, tennis shoes might show toe wear if you serve on your toes, or they may wear quicker in the heel if that’s where you plant your foot to pivot. The intensity of game play will also affect wear. Take for example, that for men, tennis shoes might wear more quickly if they play an intense competitive game versus a casual weekend game."

We pay tribute to the greatest sneaker designs in history. Shares Page 1 of 2: Page 1Page 1Page 2Whether you know them by another name (trainers, kicks, runners, daps, or in my case, 'my babies'), there's no denying that sneakers' appeal goes way beyond functional footwear. The logo design, colourway, style and even packaging design all play a part, but there is still an indefinable quality that marks out your favourites. Historically, sneakers have been a mark of our tribe, a product of our time, an outward reflection of context and culture. Countless sneakers have become indisputable design icons, up there with the design classics of any age. Whether you're an indie gal married to your lo-fi canvas Chuckie Ts; a lanky hoop-scoring 'boss' who wouldn't be seen dead in anything but hi-tech fat Air Jordans; or a modern-day casual for whom vintage Adidas Trimm Trabs are everything, you've got to admit that there are some sneaker designs that are so classic, so iconic, so damn influential that they deserve a place on any classic design list, whatever your tastes. So with all that said, agonisingly wrestled down from a long, long list of favourites, here's my take on the 20 best sneaker designs ever – and note, these are not in order!01. Nike Air Max 1Nike Air Max 1The Air Max 1 wasn't the first shoe to use Nike's technologically advanced air cushioning system. That honour falls to trailblazers like the Tailwind, the almighty Air Force 1 and 1982's Air Ace."

"text": "\"Courtesy company Bringing the assembly line to car manufacturing is easily Henry Ford's greatest innovation, but his biggest success was proving It's not surprising that the world's largest maker of sports apparel was started by an athlete. As the co-founder of Nike, Phil Knight basically invented the market for running shoes by first making them must-have gear for serious runners, and then convincing the rest of the world—non-athletic types included—that they should buy them too. Along the way, he built an organization that anticipated many of the trends that have defined modern business, from the rise of Asian manufacturing to the power of celebrities to confer credibility on consumer products. He did all that, and he also ran a a 4 minute, 13-second mile on the University of Oregon track team. Indeed, the winning ethos he absorbed as a competitive athlete seems to have inspired Knight's life as an entrepreneur. \"\" If there was no track, there was no me,\"\" he told the Des Moines Register in April 2009. \"\" I would be somebody entirely different and there wouldn't be a Nike. It all came from there.\"\" Knight never competed at the professional level but like any top athlete, he still wanted to win. Nike was born from a research paper Knight wrote at Stanford Business School in the 1960s."

Follow 12 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Put your laces in the washing machine, and clean your shoes with soap. Either that, or buy new laces altogether. I have never tried toothpaste so i dunno if it works or not. Lucas P · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment Asker's rating You can try washing the laces with some Oxy Clean, the stuff really works. Just follow the directions with water and cleaner and let the laces soak in a bowl for awhile."

It’s a take your time, drink lots of coffee and read the papers sort of day. We wore sneakers when I was a kid, and every summer we’d get a new pair. Most times they were Keds."

"text": "\"05-13-2008, 06:01 AM # 1Teddie2Senior Member (female)Join Date: Mar 2008Location: NYCPosts: 136Ready for shoes after bunion surgery (lol)So its been two months and my doc FINALLY says ok you are ready for shoes. My foot is still swollen on the top as well as the toe and under the toe. WHen I tried to get into a shoe it was tight but I made it in and he said I would be fine.. He added some support to the pad in my shoes which actually gave me even less room. I did not wear them as I did not have the mate.. I had brought in only left shoes so he could tell me which ones were ok... well when I got home later that day .. I could not get my foot into any of them from all the swelling of the day.. so there goes his theory that they were ok.. Now I have the task of buying something in the short term that is not too junky because I want good support but then again not too pricy because I am getting orthotics and don't know how the shoes will fit with the orthotics in them. I am guessing I need a bigger or at least wider shoe for now.. but when you get orthotics do you need a half size larger anyway? He said sandals with good support on the bottom are fine (stiff sole with arch support) the top did not matter. I am thinking about getting some tevas for the short term.. Any advice. I know some people bought some inexpensive shoes for the transition.. but I am concerned about putting my feet into anything that is not a \"\"good\"\" shoe.. hope you all know what I mean.. (good for my foot)Sponsors05-13-2008, 09:48 AM # 2lcweiden3132Inactive (female)Join Date: Mar 2008Location: Georgia Posts: 358Re: Ready for shoes after bunion surgery (lol)Ah...the \"\"transition\"\".... I'm *still* transitioning! ha ha....... Good to know someone else knows what its like. I know that there are some that question using a cheaper shoe, but I just feel like that seemed the smarter route."

After all, if your shoes weren’t a walking advertisement for your favorite bands or current crushes, you had no playground cred. Nowadays, though, we don’t have to take a Sharpie to our kicks in order to personalize them. Many shoe retailers offer customized shoes, so we can color our sneaks without dealing with those shoddy drawings of smiley faces, peace signs and hearts. Vans Cost: $65–$75Since 1966, skaters, surfers and punk rockers have been stomping around in Vans. Along with Converse, Vans are among a rare breed of sneakers that actually look better—and give you street cred—once they’ve been worn in, drawn on and dirtied. Vans keeps its customization service simple yet sleek—just like the design of its shoes. You get to choose from four styles, including the much-loved Slip-Ons (shout- out to the checkered pair that Spicoli rocks in Fast Times at Ridgemont High) and Old Skools. From there, decide whether you want to design your own Vans via a white, black or patterned shoe. There’s a wide range of contemporary colors to play with, and you can mix and match them to your heart’s desire."

For now let's take a look at the companies who got it right this year with The 10 Best Skate Shoes of 2013. Reggie Altema is a Haitian writer from New Jersey who grew up obsessed with music and skateboarding but despised east coast winters, so the former Fat Beats New York employee escaped to Los Angeles where he could skate all year round.

"text": "Mechanism of Action: DIURETIC: Thiazides are sulfonamide related organic acids that are secreted into the proximal tubule by an organic secretory mechanism. ( Thiazides compete for the same secretory process by which uric acid is secreted into the proximal tubule). From within the lumen they act to increase the excretion of Na & Cl by inhibiting the Na/Cl symporter in the distal convoluted tubule. Natriuresis may be accompanied by some loss of potassium and bicarbonate. Thiazides enhance Ca reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule, by increasing Na/Ca exchange (which makes thiazides useful in treating the calcium-subtype of kidney stones). Thiazide diuretics also reduce the urinary excretion of Ca & therefore are employed to treat kidney stones & may be useful for treating osteoporosis. ANTIHYPERTENSIVE: The mechanism for the antihypertensive effects of thiazides is poorly understood. One hypothesis proposed is that thiazides produce a smooth muscle vasodilator effect initiated by a reduction in plasma Na levels, which thereby reduce intracellular Ca levels in vascular smooth muscle via Na/Ca exchange (Adrogue & Madias, 2007). However, other reasonable hypotheses have also been proposed (Ernst & Moser, 2009). Legend."

"text": "Home » Topics A–Z » Sulfa drugs and the skin Sulfa drugs and the skin Author: Dr Marie Hartley, Staff Writer, 2010. Introduction Sulfa drugs (also called sulphur drugs or sulfonamide-containing drugs) is an imprecise term that generally refers to drugs that contain a sulfonamide functional group in their chemical structure. These drugs have a variety of uses and can be classified into antibiotics and non-antibiotic drugs. Sulfonamide-containing drugs are frequently implicated in allergic and non-allergic reactions. Sulfonamide antibiotics Adverse reactions to sulfonamide antibiotics are estimated to occur in 3-6% of treatment courses. The majority of these reactions are not of an allergic nature. Types of non-allergic reactions to sulfonamide antibiotics include nausea and diarrhoea, candidiasis, folate deficiency, and headaches. Sulfa allergy The term “sulfa allergy” (or “sulphur allergy”) most commonly refers to an immunological response to sulfonamide antibiotics. The most commonly prescribed sulfonamide antibiotics include: Sulfamethoxazole, often combined with trimethoprim as co-trimoxazole. This is the most common sulfonamide antibiotic in New Zealand; current brand names include Trimel™, Trisul™, and Deprim™."

"text": "Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Platelets (thrombocytes) are a type of blood cells, which are derived in the bone marrow from large cells called megakaryocytes. They are critical for the clotting of blood and have a lifespan of about 10 days. The normal platelet count ranges from 150,000 - 400,000/ml and a reduction in platelets is referred to as thrombocytopenia. This may be mild (100,000 - 150,000/ml), moderate (50,000 - 100,000/mlƒw) or severe (less than 50,000/ml). Platelets may be low due to: a) Increased destruction (immunologic ¡V infections, drugs; gestational thrombocytopenia) or utilization (disseminated intra-vascular coagulation; abnormal vasculature as seen in hemolytic uremic syndrome & thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura). b) Decreased production (leukaemia, aplastic anaemia, megaloblastic anaemia, drugs, infections. c) Sequestration in the spleen (cirrhosis of liver). Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is the presence of isolated thrombocytopenia with a normal bone marrow and the absence of other causes to account for it. Drugs can can cause platelet destruction by a variety of mechanisms."

Both sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim exist in the blood as unbound, protein-bound and metabolized forms; sulfamethoxazole also exists as the conjugated form. Sulfamethoxazole is metabolized in humans to at least 5 metabolites: the N 4 -acetyl-, N 4 -hydroxy-, 5-methylhydroxy-, N 4 -acetyl-5-methylhydroxy- sulfamethoxazole metabolites, and an N-glucuronide conjugate. The formulation of N 4 -hydroxy metabolite is mediated via CYP2C9. Trimethoprim is metabolized in vitro to 11 different metabolites, of which, five are glutathione adducts and six are oxidative metabolites, including the major metabolites, 1- and 3-oxides and the 3- and 4-hydroxy derivatives. The free forms of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim are considered to be the therapeutically active forms."

This includes forced diuresis. There are several categories of diuretics. All diuretics increase the excretion of water from bodies, although each class does so in a distinct way. Alternatively, an antidiuretic such as vasopressin ( antidiuretic hormone ), is an agent or drug which reduces the excretion of water in urine.

Some diuretics, such as acetazolamide, help to make the urine more alkaline and are helpful in increasing excretion of substances such as aspirin in cases of overdose or poisoning. Diuretics are often abused by people with an eating disorder, especially people with bulimia nervosa, with the goal of losing weight. The antihypertensive actions of some diuretics ( thiazides and loop diuretics in particular) are independent of their diuretic effect. [ 1] [2] That is, the reduction in blood pressure is not due to decreased blood volume resulting from increased urine production, but occurs through other mechanisms and at lower doses than that required to produce diuresis."

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hypertension: Regardless of race or diabetes status, the use of an ACE inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) as initial therapy is recommended to improve kidney outcomes. In the general nonblack population (without CKD) including those with diabetes, initial antihypertensive treatment should consist of a thiazide-type diuretic, calcium channel blocker, ACEI, or ARB. In the general black population (without CKD), including those with diabetes, initial antihypertensive treatment should consist of a thiazide-type diuretic or a calcium channel blocker instead of an ACEI or ARB. Coronary artery disease (CAD) and hypertension: The American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology and American Society of Hypertension (AHA/ACC/ASH) 2015 scientific statement for the treatment of hypertension in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) recommends the use of a thiazide (or thiazide-like diuretic) as part of a regimen in patients with hypertension and chronic stable angina."

"text": "Diuretics – Adverse effects Definition Diuretics are routinely used in the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure. Several classes of diuretics exist, including thiazide diuretics (HCTZ, metolazone, chlorthalidone), loop diuretics (furosemide and bumetanide), carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (acetazolamide), osmotic diuretics (mannitol), and potassium sparing diuretics (spironolactone, amiloride, and triamterene). The different classes have different mechanisms of action. The thiazide diuretics inhibit Na-Cl cotransporters in the distal convoluted tubules of the kidney. This leads to decreased reabsorption of sodium and chloride ions, leading to decreased free water reabsorption and diuresis. Loop diuretics act in the ascending limb of the loop of henle. They inhibit the Na-K-2Cl contransporter to inhibit sodium and chloride reabsorption. This alters the interstitial osmolality leading to less water and sodium reabsorption causing dieresis. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors inhibit the enzyme carbonic anhydrase. Carbonic anhydrase catalyzes the reaction involving the hydration of carbon dioxide and the dehydration of carbonic acid."

"text": "Sulfonamides are a group of man-made (synthetic) medicines that contain the sulfonamide chemical group. They are also called sulfa drugs (sometimes spelled as sulpha drugs or sulphonamides ). Sulfanilamide was the first sulfonamide developed in 1906, although it was not used as an antimicrobial until the late 1930s. Several thousand other substances have since been developed from sulfanilamide. Sulfonamide antimicrobials work by interfering with the synthesis of folic acid in bacteria, which is essential for nucleic acid formation and ultimately DNA and RNA. People obtain folic acid from their diet but bacteria need to synthesize it. When used alone, sulfonamides antibiotics are bacteriostatic (stop bacteria from reproducing but don't necessarily kill them); however, in combination with trimethoprim (co-trimoxazole), which acts at a different enzyme in the pathway of folic acid synthesis, sulfonamides tend to be bactericidal (kill bacteria). Many sulphonamides are rapidly excreted and very soluble in urine so they are used to treat infections of the urinary tract. Not all sulfonamides have antibacterial activity. Thiazide diuretics, furosemide, acetazolamide, sulfonylureas and some COX-2 inhibitors are also sulfonamides."

Some thickeners will help to stabilize your emulsions while some will de-stabilize. Almost none of these are waxes, though they are usually in solid form. Gelling Agents are ingredients that will turn your water, or oil, phase into a gel, which is thickened but, without stiffness. Emulstions thickened with Geling Agents will be more mobile, and fluid, than rather than stiff. Some of these gels will thin when force is applied (thixotropic) and return to viscosity when the force is removed. These gels make it possible to create thick products, that can be shaken, or stirred under high shear, for easier bottling, or for spraying. Rheology Modifiers are ingredients that alter the flow of a product. In doing so they also alter the feel, offering increased slip and silkiness, and behavior, because of the way that they move, smoothly, across the skin. They will usually improve the suspension capability of any gel while also creating a more fluid product, that flows easily."

"text": "Emulsions and Emulsification Particle Sciences - Technical Brief: 2009: Volume 9PDF Version Introduction Emulsions are used in a wide variety of industrial and pharmaceutical products including ocular, topical, mucosal, intravenous, intramuscular, and oral products. Emulsions are also used as precursors to prepare polymer microparticles, solid lipid nanoparticles, inorganic nanoparticles and oil-filled microcapsules and have been developed as precursors to magnetic particles for imaging, diagnostics and drug delivery. Even with their widespread use, they remain an underutilized drug product format. Ina a drug product the emulsion may be: The active component itself An activity-enhancer for a co-administered active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), either acting passively as a solvent/stabilizing system or actively as a penetration/absorption enhancing system or actively as a penetration/absorption enhancing system Pharmaceutically inactive and simply provide an elegant vehicle for an API formulation In its simplest form, an emulsion is a mixture of two immiscible liquids (usually an organic “oil” and water) in which one liquid (the dispersed phase) is in the form of microscopic droplets dispersed in the other (continuous) phase. Emulsions also contain emulsifiers – materials that concentrate at the phase interface to lower the interfacial tension, reducing the energy required to break the dispersed phase into droplets, and also preventing them from coalescing by generating a repulsive force or a physical barrier between them. Emulsions that are formed by dispersing a water-immiscible liquid into an aqueous phase are termed oil-in-water (o/w), while those having aqueous droplets dispersed in a continuous oil phase are termed water-in-oil (w/o). More complex “triple” emulsions have dispersed droplets that contain smaller droplets of continuous phase material. A triple emulsion with water dispersed in oil droplets, themselves dispersed in water, is referred to as a water-in-oil-in-water emulsion (w/o/w) and the less common reverse analogue is termed oil-in-water-in-oil (o/w/o). These emulsions types are shown schematically in Figure 1. Most emulsions contain droplets with a mean diameter of more than around 1 μm, however mini-emulsions and nano-emulsions can be formed with droplet sizes in the 100 – 500 nm range, and with proper formulation, highly stable microemulsions can be prepared having droplets as small as a few nanometers."

"text": "Cooking FAQs Cooking Basics Culinary Glossary What Is an Emulsion In the Culinary Arts? By Danilo Alfaro Updated 03/30/18Share Pin Email Dave King / Getty Images In the culinary arts, an emulsion is a mixture of two liquids that would ordinarily not mix together, like oil and vinegar. There are two kinds of emulsions: temporary and permanent. An example of a temporary emulsion is a simple vinaigrette. You combine the oil and vinegar in a jar, mix them up and they come together for a short time, but if it sits for a while, the oil and vinegar will start to separate. Mayonnaise is an example of a permanent emulsion, consisting of egg yolks and oil. Egg yolks and oil would not naturally mix together, but by slowly whisking the oil into the egg yolks, the two liquids form a stable emulsion that won't separate. Hollandaise sauce is another permanent emulsion, which is made of egg yolks and clarified butter. Clarified butter is best for forming the emulsion because whole butter contains around 15 percent water, and this water can destabilize the emulsion. Certain substances act as emulsifiers, which means they help the two liquids come together and stay together."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search\"\"Thickening\"\" redirects here. For the separation process, see gravity separation. A thickening agent or thickener is a substance which can increase the viscosity of a liquid without substantially changing its other properties. Edible thickeners are commonly used to thicken sauces, soups, and puddings without altering their taste; thickeners are also used in paints, inks, explosives, and cosmetics. Thickeners may also improve the suspension of other ingredients or emulsions which increases the stability of the product. Thickening agents are often regulated as food additives and as cosmetics and personal hygiene product ingredients. Some thickening agents are gelling agents ( gellants ), forming a gel, dissolving in the liquid phase as a colloid mixture that forms a weakly cohesive internal structure. Others act as mechanical thixotropic additives with discrete particles adhering or interlocking to resist strain. Thickening agents can also be used when a medical condition such as dysphagia causes difficulty in swallowing. Thickened liquids play a vital role in reducing risk of aspiration for dysphagia patients. ["

"text": "\"NEXTMayonnaise is made by combining lemon juice or vinegar with egg yolks. Claudio Baldini/ Dreamstime.com Mayonnaise is a thick, creamy sauce or dressing that is made of oil, egg yolks, lemon juice or vinegar, and seasonings. It's not the same as salad dressing, which doesn't contain egg yolks and is generally sweeter than mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is an emulsion, which is a mixture of two liquids that normally can't be combined. Combining oil and water is the classic example. Emulsifying is done by slowly adding one ingredient to another while simultaneously mixing rapidly. This disperses and suspends tiny droplets of one liquid through another. However, the two liquids would quickly separate again if an emulsifier were not added. Emulsifiers are liaisons between the two liquids and serve to stabilize the mixture. Eggs and gelatin are among the foods that contain emulsifiers."

Modernist cuisine uses the following formula: Mass B x bloom B = Mass A x bloom A. Chris Young from Chefsteps, and several gelatin producers propose the following formula: weight of the known gelatin x square root (known gelatin bloom/unknown gelatin bloom) = weight of unknown gelatin As there is no exact way of converting gelatin, the best is to buy the strength that the recipe calls for.

A roux is a combination of flour and butter that are cooked together to be used as a thickening agent for the sauce. The roux may be referred to as a white, blonde, or brown roux, depending on the amount of cooking time of the flour and butter mixture. The mixture increasingly darkens the longer it cooks. Once the roux is ready, the hot milk or stock is stirred into the roux to create a thick sauce that may be seasoned with herbs and spices. Béchamel Sauce A basic French white sauce made by adding hot milk to a white roux (heated butter mixed with flour). In an early era, cream was generally used instead of milk. The roux thickens the milk into a creamy white sauce. Some sauces refer to a blonde and a white roux, the difference being the length of time the flour or mixture was allowed to cook and thus become brown or golden tan in color. Seasonings can be added based on the type of dish served with the sauce and the flavors desired."

"text": "One of the most ominous sounding ingredients in a fruit-flavored beverage is glycerol ester of wood rosin. Indeed, there is actually a trace of real wood rosin in many citrus-flavored sodas and other fruit drinks. There is a perfectly good explanation for its presence, and it has to do with the age-old idea that oil and water do not mix. In order to achieve a pleasing and authentic fruit flavor in a water-based beverage, manufacturers often use flavoring oils derived from citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons or limes. These flavoring oils are very concentrated, and must be balanced out with sweeteners before a beverage becomes palatable. The problem is that fruit oils do not mix well with carbonated water or even natural fruit juices. The flavoring oils would simply float on top of the beverage, even after vigorous stirring or mixing. This is where the wood rosin enters the picture. It is collected from the stumps of long-leaf pine trees, then mixed with other ingredients to form a thickening agent called ester gum. Ester gum is often used to thicken or stabilize food products such as chewing gum or ice cream, but would be too thick for beverages."

By Jack Wogan | Submitted On May 22, 20104 1 2You started redecorating your house but you are not sure you have picked the right paint in order to obtain the best results in all the rooms of your house. Here are some tips regarding home painting using emulsion paint. Even though paint is a very common material, the technology used for obtaining it is quite complicated. Paint usually consists of pigments and a binder (oil or water-based). That is why, long-term storage will cause the two constituents of the paint to separate in the can; when you want to reuse it, the contents of the can must be well stirred (except for the non-drip paints) to ensure that the pigments and the binder are uniformly mixed. While some paints give different surface finishes, others are designed for particular jobs (primer, undercoat, anti-condensation, radiator-paint, fire-retardant, bituminous). This makes the selection of paint quite a difficult task without the help of an expert. Modern emulsion paint is a mixture of two substances that do not mix. It is water-based and due to the vinyl or acrylic resins added, it becomes more hard-wearing than traditional emulsions."

Many food products are emulsions. The most common natural example of an emulsifier is portrayed in milk, a complex mixture of fat suspended in an aqueous solution. Fat and liquid by nature are unmixable, and the goal when mixing a recipe is to form a water-in-fat emulsion. A well emulsified cake batter, for example, should not be curdled or weeping liquid. This is because the butter and liquids are in a stable emersion. If not stable, the batter will loose air cells. This results in a baked cake that is grainy or flat in texture, dry and flavorless, look uneven and may even sink. Emulsifying is done by slowly adding one ingredient to another while whisking rapidly."

Viscosity Profiling Emulsions, suspensions, solutions and gels are all examples of non-Newtonian fluids – that is, their viscosity is not a fixed value but is dependent upon the degree of shear they are exposed to. By far the most common form of non-Newtonian behaviour is shear-thinning where viscosity decreases with increasing applied shear rate. Emulsions, suspensions, polymers solutions and gels are all examples of shear-thinning materials. Shear thinning properties can provide desirable attributes to a product, such as suspension stability or drip resistance when at rest but ease of application or pouring when a stress is applied. The image on the right shows a comparison of shear rate sweeps results of Golden Syrup and mayonnaise. The contrast is striking, with the syrup showing a near-Newtonian viscosity at around 35 Pascal seconds (35000 centipoise) while the mayonnaise shows a significantly-shear-thinning profile starting at a viscosity of around 80 Pa.s at a shear rate of 1 1/s and shearing down to 3 Pa.s at a shear rate of 100 1/s, crossing over the syrup profile at around 3 1/s shear rate. For shear-thinning products measuring viscosity at a single shear rate obviously only provides a tiny glimpse of the \"\"full picture\"\" - instead a “flow curve” of viscosity across a range of shear rates is far more meaningful, from which a viscosity value at a shear rate relevant to the process or product usage conditions can be read."

It's true that DNA is the basic ingredient of our genes and, as such, it often steals the limelight from RNA, the other form of genetic material inside our cells. But, while they are both types of genetic material, RNA and DNA are rather different. The chemical units of RNA are like those of DNA, except that RNA has the nucleotide uracil (U) instead of thymine (T). Unlike double-stranded DNA, RNA usually comes as only a single strand. And the nucleotides in RNA contain ribose sugar molecules in place of deoxyribose. RNA is quite flexible—unlike DNA, which is a rigid, spiral-staircase molecule that is very stable. RNA can twist itself into a variety of complicated, three-dimensional shapes. RNA is also unstable in that cells constantly break it down and must continually make it fresh, while DNA is not broken down often."

"text": "From DNA to RNATranscription and translation are the means by which cells read out, or express, the genetic instructions in their genes. Because many identical RNA copies can be made from the same gene, and each RNA molecule can direct the synthesis of many identical protein molecules, cells can synthesize a large amount of protein rapidly when necessary. But each gene can also be transcribed and translated with a different efficiency, allowing the cell to make vast quantities of some proteins and tiny quantities of others ( Figure 6-3 ). Moreover, as we see in the next chapter, a cell can change (or regulate) the expression of each of its genes according to the needs of the moment—most obviously by controlling the production of its RNA. Figure 6-3Genes can be expressed with different efficiencies. Gene A is transcribed and translated much more efficiently than gene B. This allows the amount of protein A in the cell to be much greater than that of protein B. Go to: Portions of DNA Sequence Are Transcribed into RNAThe first step a cell takes in reading out a needed part of its genetic instructions is to copy a particular portion of its DNA nucleotide sequence—a gene —into an RNA nucleotide sequence. The information in RNA, although copied into another chemical form, is still written in essentially the same language as it is in DNA—the language of a nucleotide sequence. Hence the name transcription. Like DNA, RNA is a linear polymer made of four different types of nucleotide subunits linked together by phosphodiester bonds ( Figure 6-4 ). It differs from DNA chemically in two respects: (1) the nucleotides in RNA are ribonucleotides —that is, they contain the sugar ribose (hence the name ribo nucleic acid) rather than deoxyribose; (2) although, like DNA, RNA contains the bases adenine (A), guanine ( G ), and cytosine (C), it contains the base uracil (U) instead of the thymine (T) in DNA."

"text": "\"Home »Biology What Type of RNA Carries Amino Acids to the Translation Site? By Doug Bennett; Updated April 25, 2017Cells, and the larger organisms they comprise, require proteins for numerous functions. It is the responsibility of the ribonucleic acid (RNA) to facilitate the synthesis of these proteins. To carry out this process, there are three types of RNA: messenger RNA, ribosomal RNA and transfer RNA. It is the transfer RNA that is responsible for delivering the correct amino acids to the translation site. The Three Types of RNAMessenger RNA (m RNA) functions as the blueprint for protein synthesis, and directs the process. Ribosomal RNA (r RNA) functions as the factory, providing the structure for the synthesis process and performing the bonding work. Transfer RNA (t RNA) functions as the delivery vehicle, collecting and dropping off the correct amino acids to the factory, or translation site. Messenger RNAThe cell’s deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) contains all the genetic material of the cell, comprised of segments called genes. Each DNA gene contains the instructions for producing one specific protein."

Answered Jul 9, 2016 · Author has 121 answers and 160.9k answer views Those three types of RNA have radically different functions. While m RNA is translated into a protein, r RNA and t RNA are both forms of non-coding RNA performing both structural and catalytic roles.m RNA: Messenger RNA is the type of RNA that encodes proteins and is translated by the ribosome into proteins. Eukaryotic m RNA usually has a few different regions that look something like this:source: Messenger RNAThe CDS region encodes the actual protein coding sequence to be read by the ribosome. m RNA often has untranslated regions (UTRs) on both ends that can regulate the localization, stability, and translational efficiency of a given molecule. The protein coding region typically lacks any secondary structure while secondary structure can be present in the UTRs. In this case, the secondary structure provides another form of regulation (for e.g. see Riboswitches ). In addition, Eukaryotic m RNAs undergo extensive processing directly after they are transcribed by an RNA polymerase. A cap is added on the 5′ end of the molecule which serves various functions including nuclear export, preventing exonuclease degradation, and aiding in translation initiation."

"text": "How to hold a meat raffle4 Replies Meat raffles are a creative fundraising event in which the prize winner takes home … you guessed it … meat. Meat raffles can be found in Australia, Canada and Britain as well as in the United States, where they are frequently (though not exclusively) held in the Midwest, including western New York, Minnesota and Wisconsin, and areas of New England. VFW and American Legion posts, pubs and bars are often host to these charitable meat raffles, but frequently an organization will rent a hall for larger raffles. Patrons purchase tickets, usually for $1 each, with at least one ticket number on it. In a typical meat raffle, the event is divided into rounds. In each round, a large wheel is spun and an emcee calls out the number of spins that will take place for each round. Some rounds may only have one spin of the wheel, while other rounds could have five or more spins; the more spins, again the better chance of winning. The numbers may or may not be unique to the ticket, so it’s possible that there are multiple winners in each round. If you don’t have an appropriate wheel, you could place all of the ticket stubs into a box and do a blind draw. You would determine the number of rounds by a roll of dice."

This also applies to travel from work to a place of business where you are engaged in work related activities Transport of Patients - A deduction is allowable for the cost of travel attributable to the transport of patients in the course of producing assessable income. This is so, even if the travel begins at the employee nurse's home and ends at his or her regular place of employment. The cost of the total distance travelled (beginning at home and ending at work) is allowable. Between Work Places - A deduction is allowable for the cost of travel from a nursing employee's normal work place to other work places. The cost of travel from the alternative work place back to the normal work place or directly home is also an allowable deduction. Home to Alternative Work Place - A deduction is allowable for the cost of travel from home to an alternative work place."

"text": "\"Nonprofits are businesses organized for a purpose other than generating profit. For that reason, the survival of a nonprofit often depends on acquiring donations from the public. These organizations, however, must comply with state and federal laws that place certain restrictions on the solicitation and use of donated funds. Understanding how these rules affect your nonprofit can ensure the continued existence of the organization.501 (c) (3) Status If your nonprofit furthers a specific charitable, scientific, educational or religious purpose, you may apply for 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt status from the federal government. In addition to your nonprofit being considered exempt from federal income taxes, 501 (c) (3) status allows donors who contribute to your organization to take a deduction on their individual tax returns for amounts donated. This feature can create an incentive to donate. It also brings a sense of credibility to your organization, because detailed reporting and accounting of your business transactions must be provided annually to the Internal Revenue Service. However, certain substantiation rules apply to donors, and your nonprofit is required to provide written acknowledgement for any contribution made in excess of $250 to a donor upon request.

"text": "How to Know If You Can Really Write Off That Donation Learn what types of charitable contributions are tax-deductible. By Valerie Rind March 3, 2018Error setting up player: Invalid license key Your charitable giving can benefit you, too, if you take a charitable contribution deduction. By claiming charitable donations as tax deductions on Form 1040, Schedule A, Itemized Deductions, instead of claiming the standard deduction, you could even lower your taxable income. The IRS website has a tool to help you calculate your standard deduction. Use either the standard deduction amount or the total itemized deductions, whichever results in the lower amount of tax you’d owe. Keep reading to learn what you need to know about donations and taxes. Qualifying Organizations for Charitable Tax Deductions Donations are eligible for tax write-offs only if you make them to qualified organizations. “ An organization has to have received the 501 (c) (3) designation from the IRS for it to qualify as a ‘charitable organization’ in terms of deduction donations for tax purposes,” said accountant Eric Nisall, founder of Account Lancer, which provides accounting, tax and consulting services for freelancers. “ That means your neighbor’s kid’s Little League team selling raffle tickets isn’t a tax write-off unless the team holds that certification. ”Generally, charitable gifts to these types of types of tax-exempt organizations are tax-deductible donations: Churches, synagogues, temples, mosques and other religious organizations Federal, state and local governments, if your contribution is solely for public purposes, such as a gift to reduce the public debt or maintain a public park Nonprofit schools and hospitals The Salvation Army, American Red Cross, CARE, Goodwill Industries, United Way, Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts of America, Boys & Girls Clubs of America and others War veterans’ groups Expenses you paid for a student living with you who is sponsored by a qualified organization Out-of-pocket expenses for serving as a volunteer for a qualified organization See: How to Be an Awesome Human Being — Without Spending a Dollar Non-Qualifying Organizations for Charitable Tax Deductions Many causes deserve your generous gifts."

This time, we’re going to address the commonly held misconception that all charitable donations are tax deductible. They’re not. Charitable donations must meet specific criteria to be deductible. And even then, there are situations when the entire value may not be subtracted from your returns. General Rules for Charitable Donations We’ll get to those situations in a second. But first, three general rules apply: Charitable donations must be made to a 501 (c) (3) exempt organization to be deductible;You must keep records — bank statements, a letter, a receipt — to deduct a donation; and Donations are tax deductible only when you itemize. The first rule is particularly important — the cute kid selling candy may not belong to a properly registered non-profit. Check the IRS database to be sure."

"text": "\"When Are Prize Winnings From Raffles, Sweepstakes And Contests Taxed? The IRS has unusually complicated rules for the taxation of prize, contest, raffle and sweepstakes wins for non-resident gamblers in the United States. The IRS taxes prize winnings when both of the following criteria are fulfilled:* The prize winnings (or equivalent cash value) are at least $600 USD above the original wager; and* The prize winnings are at least 300 times the cost of the original wager. For instance, if you purchased a raffle ticket for $2 USD in the United States and have prize winnings of $600 USD, you will not have any raffle tax assessed. The value of the initial wager ($2 USD) is subtracted from the value of the raffle win ($600 USD), resulting in a net of $598 USD (slightly less than the minimum threshold of $600 USD for taxes on prizes). Similarly, if you purchased a raffle ticket for $300 USD and have won a prize of $750 USD, you will also not have any prize tax assessed because the value of your raffle win is less than the 300:1 minimum ratio for raffle tax. Having described two scenarios where you have escaped taxes on prizes, let us go through a scenario where you will be assessed raffle tax on your prize winnings. If you bought a raffle ticket for $100 USD and subsequently win a car, with an equivalent cash value of $35,000 USD, you will have raffle tax assessed at a rate of 30% of your raffle win. In this scenario, both criteria previously listed are fulfilled. You have won more than $600 USD above the original wager ($100 USD subtracted from $35,000 USD cash value of the car results in a net raffle win of $34,900 USD) and your raffle win is more than 300 times the cost of your original wager (300 multiplied by $100 USD wager is $30,000 USD)."

In a tight economy, attendees might hesitate to bid on a big auction item, but almost everyone can afford a raffle ticket. While everyone likes a nonprofit raffle, many nonprofits don’t realize the registration and reporting that raffles require. Many organizations give the winner a 1099 and hope for the best. If you’ve done that in the past, you’re not alone. Unfortunately, that’s not the right way to run a raffle. The IRS has increased its scrutiny of gaming activities and has partnered with many states to compare state gaming registrations to proper IRS reporting.

"text": "by Matthew R. Berlinger Heinold-Banwart, Ltd. Organized outings like sporting and entertainment events provide opportunities for networking, promoting and strengthening local businesses. When organizing all of the details surrounding one of these events, tax implications are usually the least of a person’s concerns. However, giving proper consideration to how an event will be treated for tax purposes can prove beneficial when tax planning. For the purposes of this article, the term “taxpayer” refers to a business that would be deducting sports and entertainment expenses on its tax return. General Rules The discussion regarding the deductibility of sports and entertainment event expenses begins with whether the event is directly related to the conduct of the business. These expenses typically include athletic events, theatre productions and other similar events. In order to determine this, the taxpayer must determine if there is an expectation to receive income or other benefit at some time in the foreseeable future from a person or group in attendance. In order to be directly related to the business, the taxpayer must also have a business relationship with the person or organization being entertained and the business discussion must be the primary reason for attending the event. If a legitimate business discussion takes place either before or after the event, the associated entertainment expenses may still be allowable. Included in these types of expenditures are expenses to obtain new business or strengthen existing business relationships."

"text": "\"Home » Managing Your Money Guidelines for Tax Deductible Donations to Schoolsby Jane Meggitt; Updated March 15, 2018The IRS allows you to deduct contributions to nonprofit, 501 (c) 3 organizations, but such charities are not the only groups for which a donation is tax-deductible. The IRS permits deductions to schools that are either nonprofit or supported only by local or state government funds. It doesn’t matter whether the educational institution serves preschoolers or college students, as long as it meets IRS criteria. The majority of schools are either public or nonprofit; for-profit schools include many online and vocational schools, rather than traditional colleges and universities. Keep in mind you must itemize expenses on Schedule A of Form 1040 in order to claim charitable deductions. Prior to 2017, certain tuition and other fees were tax-deductible, but that is no longer the case. School Fundraising Events Schools hold fundraising events all the time, and you’ve probably contributed to your fair share of them. Are these contributions tax-deductible? It depends. Suppose the school holds a fundraising dinner with tickets priced at $100 each."

"text": "\"Matthew Frankel ( TMFMath Guy)Aug 17, 2015 at 6:41AMSource: Flickr user Caitlin Regan. With back-to-school time right around the corner, many parents are preparing for various school-related expenses. Some school-related expenses can qualify for various tax breaks, but the rules governing them can be confusing. For example, many parents will send their children to after-school programs or obtain tutoring services for their children -- but only one of these expenses is deductible. With that in mind, here are some school-related expenses you may be able to write off, along with a few you can't. The child-care tax credit The IRS offers a credit, known as the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit, which is intended to reduce the burden of child-care expenses from working parents. The credit is worth between 20% and 35% (depending on income) of the first $3,000 in qualifying expenses for one child, or up to $6,000 in expenses for more than one child. In general, the expenses you claim must be for a child under 13 years old, and you can claim a partial-year deduction for the year in which the child turns 13. And the expenses must be paid while you're working, looking for work, or attending school full time. What school-related expenses count toward the credit and which ones are excluded?"

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

By Valerie Rind March 3, 2018Error setting up player: Invalid license key Your charitable giving can benefit you, too, if you take a charitable contribution deduction. By claiming charitable donations as tax deductions on Form 1040, Schedule A, Itemized Deductions, instead of claiming the standard deduction, you could even lower your taxable income. The IRS website has a tool to help you calculate your standard deduction. Use either the standard deduction amount or the total itemized deductions, whichever results in the lower amount of tax you’d owe. Keep reading to learn what you need to know about donations and taxes. Qualifying Organizations for Charitable Tax Deductions Donations are eligible for tax write-offs only if you make them to qualified organizations. “ An organization has to have received the 501 (c) (3) designation from the IRS for it to qualify as a ‘charitable organization’ in terms of deduction donations for tax purposes,” said accountant Eric Nisall, founder of Account Lancer, which provides accounting, tax and consulting services for freelancers. “ That means your neighbor’s kid’s Little League team selling raffle tickets isn’t a tax write-off unless the team holds that certification. ”Generally, charitable gifts to these types of types of tax-exempt organizations are tax-deductible donations: Churches, synagogues, temples, mosques and other religious organizations Federal, state and local governments, if your contribution is solely for public purposes, such as a gift to reduce the public debt or maintain a public park Nonprofit schools and hospitals The Salvation Army, American Red Cross, CARE, Goodwill Industries, United Way, Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts of America, Boys & Girls Clubs of America and others War veterans’ groups Expenses you paid for a student living with you who is sponsored by a qualified organization Out-of-pocket expenses for serving as a volunteer for a qualified organization See: How to Be an Awesome Human Being — Without Spending a Dollar Non-Qualifying Organizations for Charitable Tax Deductions Many causes deserve your generous gifts."

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

"text": "Home » Understanding Donations Nonprofit Management 101Understanding Donations10 months ago 5 min read To be deductible, charitable contributions must be made to qualified organizations. Qualified organizations include, but are not limited to, federal, state, and local governments and organizations organized and operated only for charitable, religious, educational, scientific, or literary purposes, or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals. Organizations can tell you if they are qualified and if donations to them are deductible. If your contribution entitles you to merchandise, goods, or services– including admission to a charity ball, banquet, theatrical performance, or sporting event– you can deduct only the amount that exceeds the fair market value of the benefit received. For a contribution of $250 or more, you can claim a deduction only if you obtain a written acknowledgment from the qualified organization. The written acknowledgment required to substantiate a charitable contribution of $250 or more must contain the following information: Name of the organization;Amount of cash contribution;Description (but not value) of non-cash contribution;Statement that no goods or services were provided by the organization, if that is the case;Description and good faith estimate of the value of goods or services, if any, that organization provided in return for the contribution; and Statement that goods or services, if any, that the organization provided in return for the contribution consisted entirely of intangible religious benefits, if that was the case. Generally, you can deduct your cash contributions as well as the fair market value of any property you donate to qualified organizations. The fair market value of most household or personal items is generally much less than the price paid when new. You should claim only what the item would sell for at a garage sale, a flea market, or a second hand or thrift store. You must fill out Section A of Form 8283 (PDF) if your total deduction for all noncash contributions is more than $500."

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

To help ease recordkeeping for both you and your employees, consider establishing these three separate expense categories within your company's expense report.

Model X SUV Reveal Image Credit: Bloomberg via Getty Images While lightweight is usually better for electric vehicles, the new Tesla Model X is going to be pleasantly plump for some purchasers. It turns out that the CUV's curb weight of 5,441 pounds means that it will qualify for something called a Section 179 tax break. For the right buyer, that means that the federal government will take $25,000 off the price of a new Model X. We were turned on to this possibility by discussion on the Tesla Motors forum and the Tesla Motors Club, where the possibility of the Section 179 benefit was talked about before the car was revealed in late September. As you can see in this picture from the event, the official GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of Elon Musk's Model X is 6,768 pounds. Armed with this knowledge, we asked Tesla what the official word is, and Tesla's Alexis Georgeson told Autoblog Green, \"\"Yes, the curb weight of Model X is 5,441 lbs. So we expect the GVWR to exceed 6,000 lbs. This means a Section 179 deduction could be taken for to up to $25,000 of the purchase price.\"\" To qualify for a Section 179 tax break, the IRS requires that the item purchased be acquired for business use and that the property must also be, \"\"An integral part of ... furnishing transportation.\"\" It doesn't seem like the Model X would have a problem meeting that second definition but Georgeson cautioned potential buyers by saying that, \"\"Tesla always encourages its customers to consult with their personal tax accountant as each individual's tax situation may be different and Tesla does not guarantee this deduction.\"\" You can find the official IRS information about Section 179 here."

No, it’s not an actually hobby, but if you’re a dog owner, you should know the types of ticks in your neck of the woods. Ticks are a type of arachnid that commonly chooses cats and dogs as their host bodies. These external parasites may be small but they carry the potential to transmit deadly diseases to your pet including Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. To protect your pet from ticks you should administer a monthly topical flea and tick preventive – you should also take the time to learn about the different ticks to which your dog may be exposed. Related: How To Remove A Tick From A Dog Types of Ticks Found in the U. S. There are many different species of ticks found around the world but there are five species which are most common. These types of ticks are: Deer Tick ( Ixodes scapularis ): Also known as the blacklegged tick, the deer tick is most commonly found in deciduous forest areas. These ticks are primarily distributed by whitetail deer and they can carry several different diseases in both the adult and nymph stages including Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, and Babesiosis. American Dog Tick ( Dermacentor variabilis ): These ticks are most commonly found in grassy areas with little to no tree cover. American dog ticks feed on hosts of all sizes and they can carry Tularemia and Rocky Mountain spotted fever."

There are less than 1000 species of ticks that can be found all over the world. Ticks live in moist and warm habitats. Some species tolerate temperatures near zero. Ticks are parasites that transmit numerous diseases. Humans use chemicals, birds (which eat ticks) and wasps (which lay eggs inside the ticks) to keep these animals under control. Interesting Ticks Facts: Size of tick depends on the developmental stage. Larva is large as grain of sand, nymph as poppy seed and adult animal as apple seed. Females are larger than males."

"text": "Share Four common ticks in Pennsylvania. Tick-borne diseases and prevention, tick distributions, life histories and control. Background Information Ticks, of which there are more than 500 species world-wide, are parasitic arthropods closely related to mites. Most ticks feed on the blood of warm-blooded mammals but some species also feed on birds, reptiles and even amphibians. Fish are apparently the only vertebrates not plagued by these little blood-suckers. Many species of ticks can transmit diseases (zoonoses) from an infected host to other uninfected hosts. Some of the more frequently transmitted organisms include parasitic worms, viruses, bacteria, spirochetes and rickettsias. The most important of these to Pennsylvanians are spirochetes which cause Lyme disease, and rickettsias which cause Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Currently, more than 25 species of ticks have been identified in Pennsylvania. Of these, four species account for nearly 90 percent of all submissions to Penn State for identification."

The disease was named for Lyme, Connecticut, the town where it was firstdiagnosed in 1975 after a puzzling outbreak of arthritis. The organism was named for itsdiscoverer, Willy Burgdorfer. The effects of this disease can be long-term and disabling unless it is recognized and treated properly with antibiotics. Description Lyme disease, which is also called Lyme borreliosis, is a vector-borne disease. This term meansthat it is delivered from one host to another. It is also classified as a zoonosis, which means that it is a disease of animals that can be transmitted to humans under natural conditions."

These are two examples of tabby, or striped, cat. In the early days of cat exhibitions, tabbies were divided into banded and spotted. Their name was said to have been derived from a street in Baghdad celebrated for the manufacture of its watered or moire silks. When sold in England, this silk was called atabi or - by those who misheard - taffety. The cat fancy recognises four basic types of tabby (ticked, mackerel, classic, spotted) with breed-specific variations on each of these types. For example the \"\"marbled tabby\"\" seen in Bengals is a variation on the \"\"classic tabby\"\". Nature isn't so restricted in its patterns and there are numerous variations found in random-bred cats and emerging breeds (particuarly those with hybrid ancestry) that aren't recognised by the cat fancy. So as well as the cat fancy definitions, I've covered as many variations as I can and there are no doubt many more out there!MACKEREL AND BLOTCHED TABBIESThe two most common tabby patterns are \"\"mackerel tabby\"\" and \"\"classic tabby\"\" (blotched tabby, oyster tabby). These two patterns are common in random-breeding pet and feral populations."

About the size of a grain of rice, these dark colored pests feed on the blood of mammals, birds and sometimes reptiles and amphibians. They are widely distributed throughout the world, though most common in areas with warm, humid climates since ticks require some air moisture to undergo metamorphosis and cold temperatures inhibit egg development. They can be a bane to hikers, pets, livestock, as well as wild animals. Ticks are most common in environments with many large mammals that help to feed and distribute the pests. In addition to the nastiness of having a parasite burrow into the skin, they can be carriers of a number of diseases including Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Despite the repugnant features and habits of ticks, there are measures you can take to minimize their impact when you are hiking in areas known to harbor them. Of course the easiest way to avoid them is to stay out of their habitats, but this leaves many beautiful and interesting places off-limits. Knowing their habits and behavior can help you defend against them and allow you to enjoy an outing without undue anxiety and apprehension. Tick Behavior For the hiker, the most significant threat from ticks is in their adult female form, though ticks in the nymphal stage can also pose a hazard."

"text": "Tweet Key Difference: Ticks are arachnids that feed on blood from their host and change hosts after feeding. Lice are parasites that attach themselves to the host’s hair and feed on blood, particles and skin. Ticks and lice are parasitic infestation that can cause problems for humans, animals and other creatures. These two creatures survive on the blood of the host they attach to. Lice are commonly found in the hair, while ticks can be found all over the body, including hair, arms, stomach, clothes, etc. Ticks and lice are often confused as the same due to their similarities in appearance; however they differ from each other in many ways. Ticks are tiny, wingless, ectoparasites that belong to the Arachnida class, the same class that spiders belong to. There are various different types of ticks such as the American deer tick, sheep tick, and cattle tick. Ticks can be classified into three families: Ixodidae (hard ticks), Argasidae (soft ticks) and Nuttalliellidae. The hard ticks often have a small hard shell on the back of their mouths."

When I first started to plan my trip around the world, working out which vaccines I needed to get and where to get them was one of the most daunting tasks. I struggled to find one single website that could explain which vaccines I needed for which country, what the diseases actually were, and what sort of risk I’d be taking by not getting them. I’ve been researching solidly for the past three months and have combined everything I’ve learned in this post. There are so many vaccinations. Which ones do you need and which ones don’t you? How expensive will they be? Can you get some for free? Is it possible to have lots together or do they need to be spread out? How soon before your departure date should you start getting them?"

"text": "Controlling deer ticks By Richard C. Falco, Fordham University Considering the large amount of press given to mosquitoes and West Nile virus in recent years, it may surprise you to know that when it comes to public health, the most important arthropod in the nation is still the deer tick. This tiny tick is responsible for more people getting sick in this country than all other arthropods combined. During the past ten years, more than 100,000 cases of Lyme disease have been reported in the United States, in addition to cases of babesiosis and the more recently described ehrlichiosis. The pathogens that cause all three of these diseases are transmitted to humans by the bite of the deer tick. The deer tick ( Ixodes scapularis ), also known as the black-legged tick, is found throughout the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest and some areas of the Southwest. Not coincidentally, Lyme disease is also reported in these areas, with the real “hot spot” being in the tri-state region of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. In many of these areas, deer tick populations continue to increase. As their populations grow, so does the risk of contracting a tick-borne disease. As a consequence, there is increased pressure on landscape professionals to develop and implement programs designed to effectively control deer ticks and reduce the risk for Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis and babesiosis in both residential and recreational settings. Life cycle of the deer tick To understand how best to control ticks, you must understand the tick's life history."

Fleas, mites (chiggers), lice, or ticks transmit it when they bite you. Fleas, mites, lice, and ticks are types of invertebrate animals known as arthropods. When arthropods carrying around rickettsial bacteria bite someone, they transmit the bacteria that causes typhus. Scratching the bite further opens the skin and allows the bacteria greater access to the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, the bacteria continue to reproduce and grow. There are three different types of typhus:epidemic (louse-borne) typhusendemic (murine) typhusscrub typhus The type of typhus you are infected with depends on what bit you. Arthropods are typically carriers of a typhus strain unique to their species. Typhus outbreaks usually only occur in developing countries or in regions of poverty, poor sanitation, and close human contact."

They include the genera Rickettsiae, Ehrlichia, Orientia, and Coxiella. These zoonotic pathogens cause infections that disseminate in the blood to many organs. Rickettsia Clinical Manifestations Rickettsia species cause Rocky Mountain spotted fever, rickettsialpox, other spotted fevers, epidemic typhus, and murine typhus. Orientia (formerly Rickettsia ) tsutsugamushi causes scrub typhus. Patients present with febrile exanthems and visceral involvement; symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, encephalitis, hypotension, acute renal failure, and respiratory distress. Structure, Classification, and Antigenic Types Rickettsia species are small, Gram-negative bacilli that are obligate intracellular parasites of eukaryotic cells. This genus consists of two antigenically defined groups: spotted fever group and typhus group, which are related; scrub typhus rickettsiae differ in lacking lipopolysaccharide, peptidoglycan, and a slime layer, and belong in the separate, although related, genus Orientia. Pathogenesis Rickettsia and Orientia species are transmitted by the bite of infected ticks or mites or by the feces of infected lice or fleas."

Both are ectoparasites, meaning they live and feed on the outside of the body of their hosts. Chewing lice are mainly external parasites of birds and with a few feeding on mammals. As their name implies, chewing lice chew on their hosts feeding on skin, feathers and blood serum. Sucking lice suck the blood of their hosts that are primarily mammals. It is quite easy to distinguish a chewing louse from a sucking louse. Chewing lice have well developed mouthparts that are equipped with large jawlike mandibles while the mouthparts of sucking lice are mainly small needle-like structures for piercing and sucking the blood of their host. As a consequence the head of a sucking louse is small and is much narrower than the thorax. The head of chewing lice is relatively large and as wide as or wider than the width of its thorax. The difference in the size of the head of these 2 types of lice can be attributed to the size of the muscles in the head, which are necessary to move the different types of mouthparts."

"text": "Judy Stone Contributor Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own. Pharma & Healthcare 4/14/2015 @ 1:32PM 69,730 views Powassan -- Tick-Borne Terror Virus Or Too Much Media Hype? Powassan is a virus, related to West Nile flavivirus, and is transmitted by ticks. While it is rare—diagnosed less than 50 times in the past 10 years —it is scary because it can cause encephalitis, or a brain infection. More often, people who are infected develop no symptoms, but surveys show that about 1-4% of people in endemic areas show antibodies to the virus, indicating past exposure without illness . How is Powassan different than Lyme disease? Both infections are transmitted by deer tick (Ixodes Scapularis) bites, but Lyme is a bacterial infection. The tiny tick must remain attached and feeding for about 24 hours to transmit the disease, so careful and frequent tick checks are very effective in reducing your risk of illness. Though Lyme can be difficult to diagnose, it is usually effectively treated with oral antibiotics like doxycycline. What is scarier to me about Powassan is that transmission does not require the tick to remain attached for very long; infection is transmitted in under an hour."

Spray twice the first month every two weeks, then once a month for maintenance. Mix the Fenva Star ECO Cap (2 oz per one gallon of water). For additional help, use an insect growth regulator (Tekko Pro IGR) that prevents the immature ticks from becoming breeding adults. Spray these products at the edges of the room and pet areas (do not spray pets with these products). If you have hard floor surfaces, the Precor 2000 Plus Aerosol would adhere to the surface better and it is ready to use. Bifen IT is limited to cracks and crevices only, not the whole floor surface area, so it would not be an appropiate product inside for both tick and flea control. Bifen It is fine for just tick control treatment inside or outside. It you want a product for both tick and flea control, choose Fenva Star Eco Cap or Precor 2000 Plus. * Fenvastar Eco Cap and Precor 2000 Plus Aerosol may be used for inside flea treatment as well. ("

These pests transmit infectious diseases that can lead to fatigue, muscle soreness, fever, paralysis, and even death. Get the facts on some of the most common tick-borne diseases and make sure to protect your pet year-round with a flea and tick preventative. Fact 1: Lyme Disease In most cases, a tick must be attached for 36-48 hours or more before Lyme disease-causing bacteria can be transmitted. It’s important to check your dog regularly for ticks after outdoor playtime and walks. If you find a tick, swiftly remove it and watch your dog for symptoms. Fact 2: Babesiosis Babesiosis targets a dog’s red blood cells and causes anemia. Signs of babesiosis in dogs are typically severe, including pale gums, depression, dark-colored urine, fever, and swollen lymph nodes. Fact 3: Lyme Disease Lyme disease’s connection to ticks wasn’t proven until 1981. Although it was first recognized in 1975, researchers didn’t prove the connection until the next decade."

It is a vector for several diseases of animals, including humans ( Lyme disease, babesiosis, anaplasmosis, Powassan virus disease, etc.) and is known as the deer tick owing to its habit of parasitizing the white-tailed deer.

Two adult males and an adult female of the western blacklegged tick in host-seeking posture before feeding. “Erythema migrans” rash on forearm two weeks after removal of a tick. Lyme disease is a potentially serious disease, and can be localized or affect multiple body systems. In the United States, the disease is caused almost exclusively by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, a corkscrew-shaped bacterium. Five additional species of Lyme disease-group spirochetes have been described from California, but only one of them, Borrelia bissettii, has been found to occasionally infect people. Lyme disease spirochetes are transmitted to humans and other animals by the feeding activities of certain ticks. Of the 48 tick species established in California, 6 species attach to humans with some regularity, but only nymphs (an immature tick life-stage) and adult females of the western blacklegged tick, Ixodes pacificus, transmit Borrelia burgdorferi to people. A closely related tick species, the blacklegged or deer tick (Ixodes scapularis), transmits B. burgdorferi in eastern North America, but that tick does not occur in California."

Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia mayonii cause Lyme disease in the United States, while Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii are the leading causes of Lyme disease in Europe and Asia. The most common tick-borne illness in these regions, Lyme disease is transmitted by the bite of an infected black-legged tick, commonly known as a deer tick. You're more likely to get Lyme disease if you live or spend time in grassy and heavily wooded areas where ticks carrying the disease thrive. It's important to take common-sense precautions in areas where ticks are prevalent. Symptoms Lyme disease rash The signs and symptoms of Lyme disease vary and usually appear in stages. Early signs and symptoms A small, red bump often appears at the site of a tick bite or tick removal and resolves over a few days. This is normal after a tick bite and does not indicate Lyme disease. However, these signs and symptoms may occur within a month after you've been infected: Rash. From 3 to 30 days after an infected tick bite, an expanding red area might appear that sometimes clears in the center, forming a bull’s-eye pattern."

"text": "How Long do Tick Bites Last – When Do They Heal? Ticks are small insects belonging to the arachnid family which feed on blood to survive. They attach to their hosts as they pass by to where the ticks are waiting to latch on. They feed on hosts like mammals, birds, reptiles and also humans. Once attached to the human host for instance, they head on to warm and moist areas like the armpits or groin areas then attach on the skin to bite and feed on blood. Tick bites can be harmless or can cause serious medical problems. Some ticks do not carry diseases and their bites are typically harmless. However, tick bites are also able to transmit diseases from one host to another. Some of these ticks carry bacteria and transfer these to their hosts through a bite. A few examples of diseases that ticks may transmit include Lyme disease, Colorado tick fever, Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Tularemia."

"text": "Mouse Diseases According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), mice spread numerous diseases worldwide. The diseases are spread to humans directly: through contact with mice feces, saliva or urine, mouse bites and mere contact. Mouse diseases, however, can also be spread indirectly: ticks, fleas and mites that have fed, at some point, on the infected mouse and then transmit that infection to humans. Diseases That Mice Can Transmit Hantavirus Hantavirus is a life-threatening disease transmitted by rodents, particularly deer mice. The virus is found in rodent urine and feces, but it does not make the host animal sick. It is believed that humans can become sick if they come in contact with contaminated dust from mice nests or droppings. However, hantavirus is not spread from humans to humans. As of November 1, 2012, there were 10 confirmed cases of hantavirus in Yosemite National Park. Three of the confirmed cases were fatal. The early symptoms of the disease are: chills, muscle aches and fever."

"text": "\"News > Medscape Medical News Lyme Disease Cases Rising in Affected Regions Tara Haelle July 16, 2015The number of US counties experiencing high incidence of Lyme disease has grown considerably from 1993 through 2012, according to a study published online July 15 and in the August issue of Emerging Infectious Diseases. \"\" Despite the substantial increase in the number of counties with high incidence, the limited movement of the geographic centers suggests relatively constant rates of geographic expansion in all accessible directions,\"\" write Kiersten J. Kugeler, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Fort Collins, Colorado, and colleagues. \"\" Our results show that geographic expansion of high-risk areas is ongoing, emphasizing the need to identify broadly implementable and acceptable public health interventions to prevent human Lyme disease. \"\" Lyme disease develops when an infected tick bites a person and transmits the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria to the person. Historically high-risk regions for Lyme disease include the northeastern, mid-Atlantic, and north-central states in the United States, but officials have noted increasing cases during the past 2 decades. The researchers grouped all confirmed Lyme disease cases during the study period into four intervals of 5 years each. Using census data, the researchers calculated the incidence of the disease at the county level and then mapped the incidence, identifying counties that fell wholly or partly \"\"within a defined, statistically significant high-risk spatial cluster. \"\" In the earliest period, from 1993 to 1997, there were 69 counties with high incidence of Lyme disease; this number climbed to 130 counties for the period from 1998 to 2002, 197 counties in 2003 to 2007, and 260 counties in 2008 to 2012. In contrast, just four counties in the southeastern United States identified as high incidence in the 1993 to 1997 period dropped off the list during the following period, most likely because the early cases were misdiagnosed cases of another tick-associated illness, southern tick-associated rash illness, which has similar symptoms to those of Lyme but does not involve B burgdorferi. The region with the greatest incidence, the northeastern states, saw a more than 320% jump in countries with high incidence, from 43 counties in the first period to 182 in the most recent."

"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."

Their distribution relies greatly on the distribution of its reproductive host, white-tailed deer. Both nymph and adult stages transmit diseases such as Lyme disease, Babesiosis, and Anaplasmosis. Dermacentor variabilis (American Dog ticks)American Dog ticks are found predominantly in areas with little or no tree cover, such as grassy fields and scrubland, as well as along walkways and trails. They feed on a variety of hosts, ranging in size from mice to deer, and nymphs and adults can transmit diseases such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Tularemia. American dog ticks can survive for up to 2 years at any given stage if no host is found. Females can be identified by their large off-white scutum against a dark brown body. Amblyomma americanum (Lone Star ticks)Lone Star ticks are found mostly in woodlands with dense undergrowth and around animal resting areas. The larvae do not carry disease, but the nymphal and adult stages can transmit the pathogens causing Monocytic Ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and 'Stari' borreliosis. Lone Star ticks are notorious pests, and all stages are aggressive human biters."

The ticks breed and grow in the field mouse population. By doing things that reduce, or push away from the house, the field mouse population you will reduce the ticks. When I lived on a farm they recommended putting Deet soaked cotton balls around the edges of the yard. The mice use them to build their nest and the Deet discourages the ticks."

But with the mounting evidence of people becoming stricken with Lyme’s disease after a tick bite, outdoor enthusiasts are right to be aware of this potential threat from tick bites, and to take reasonable precautions to keep ticks at bay. The concerns associated with tick bites are well-founded, but awareness and a few simple precautions are effective measures at combatting ticks. This summer the fun and fascination of nature await outdoor enthusiasts, so don’t let the fear of tick bites keep you indoors. Here below are 5 simple strategies which you can adopt which will minimize the likelihood of tick-related problems for your family. Be sure to pass along this information to your children, as this is basic knowledge which young people can understand and implement.1. Recognize tick habitat Ticks vary in size and some can be nearly impossible to spot with the naked eye. So rather than look for ticks, look for tick habitat and then apply proper precautions against coming into contact with them. Ticks occur mostly in tall grass and wooded areas. In tall grass ticks are well situated to crawl on to passing animals and people as their legs brush against the grass."

They flourish in warm climates where thick bush allows for hospitable environments in which they wait for a host. They are common to many places in south-west America and live in other regions as well, though less frequently. They are native to America and have been found as far north as Maine. Like most other ticks, lone star ticks are a vector for many diseases, and a bite may incur a nasty rash and possible secondary infections. Medical attention should be sought in the case of a bite, and patients are usually treated with a course of antibiotics. Lone star ticks in general are found in long, grassy areas, and these areas should be especially avoided in summer months when the lone star females lay their eggs. You can identify them from their one single white star on the shell. Lone Star Tick Identification The Lone Star Tick resembles a miniature crab a with fat, round body, a hard, glossy shell and eight shorts legs.

These chunks are said to be in the player's chunk update range. As the player moves through the world, new chunks that come into range are added to the list of updated chunks and older chunks that pass out of range are removed. Only the chunks in the list are updated to reflect the passage of time. This means, for instance, that if a player spends a lot of time exploring or in another dimension, his crops won't grow and any cooking, smelting, or automated farming underway when he left will still be unfinished when he returns.

"text": "Lyme Disease in Dogs: Recognizing the Signs May 20, 2015What Exactly Is Lyme Disease? Lyme disease, or Borreliosis, is a very infectious disease in dogs that comes from exposure to ticks. It has many dominant symptoms that you can quickly notice in your dog, mainly lameness in the joins. It’s one of the most common tick-transmitted diseases, but despite that, it still only causes symptoms in 5-10% of affected dogs. The ticks get into the dog’s bloodstream through a bite and once in the bloodstream, the bacteria travels to different parts of the body and cause stiffness in specific joints and overall illnesses. When a dog has Lyme disease, it suffers from inflammation in the joints, which means recurring lameness. This is a horrible sensation for dogs to feel and alongside it, they can also suffer from loss of appetite and depression, just to name a few. You don’t want your furry friends to suffer from Lyme disease since it’s a very uncomfortable disease that can escalate into something fast, so it’s good to spot any red flags as early as possible. When not detected on time, complications can arise from Lyme disease such askidney problems, heart diseases, and nervous system failures. These are very rare but Labrador Retriever s, G olden Retriever s, Shetland Sheepdog s, or Bernese Mountain Dogsare unfortunately more at risk for kidney-related problems caused by Lyme disease."

They start hatching out in the early spring, as soon as we have several consecutive 60 degree days. As the weather gets cold, the fleas will be killed after a few good frosts, but ticks can persist late into the fall or even through a very mild winter. Of course, if fleas are already in your house, they can remain there throughout the cold weather. Contrary to popular belief, fleas do not live out in the grass. Adult fleas only live on animals.

Ticks don’t jump, and they don’t hang around in the trees waiting to drop on you. So if ticks don’t jump, how do they get onto humans? Ticks Ambush Their Hosts Ticks, as you likely know, are blood-feeding parasites. Almost all ticks use a behavior called questing to ambush their hosts. When in search of a blood meal, a tick will crawl up a plant stem or tall piece of grass and simply extend its front legs. This is called the questing posture."

The danger from ticks is highest during outdoor activity in spring through summer in most regions of the world, but precautions can minimize the chances that you'll become a victim, according to a Purdue University entomologist. The two most common tick-borne diseases in the United States are Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease, but ticks, which are neither insects nor spiders, also spread organisms that cause many other illnesses. Many of these pathogens are on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Select Biological Agents and Toxins list. \"\" The list of diseases that ticks can transmit seems to be ever-increasing,\"\" said Catherine Hill, an entomology geneticist. \"\" It's pretty clear that a number of the diseases they carry could be intentionally introduced pathogens. \"\" Ticks are arthropods, meaning they have a hard outer layer, called an exoskeleton, rather than an internal skeleton, and jointed legs, but no antennae or lower jaw. They feed off blood during their larval, nymph and adult stages. These meals are needed for development during the first two stages, and in the final stage for the adult female to nourish the thousands of eggs she'll lay. The life cycle of ticks is from a few months to two years depending on the species, of which there are about 850 worldwide."

Flea season typically begins in early May and reaches its peak in late summer and early fall. So why are fleas and ticks such a problem for pets? Extreme discomfort causes excessive itching or scratching If left untreated, bites may lead to health problems and illnesses such as typhus and Lyme disease So what can you do to prevent flea and tick bites in the first place? Simply avoid areas where fleas and ticks are likely to lurk – such as heavily wooded areas and high grasse Administer flea and tick control products onto your pet – contact your local veterinarian for specific products like Bravecto that target the fleas and ticks Mow your grass and cut your bushes back – fleas and ticks are not immune from your lawn, keep your grass short to minimize the chances of infestation Complete “tick checks” daily – a few fleas or ticks on your pet isn’t a major problem but can become a major problem once an infestation occurs. This preventative measure is very easy and doesn’t take much time out of your day. Taking a preventive rather than reactive approach can amount to reduced stress and less money out of your pocket in the long-term. If you must take a reactive approach, be sure to check your pet often as fleas and ticks can be very difficult to completely remove once they have established themselves. By taking these few steps, you can enjoy outside time with your pet without having to worry about you and your pet’s health."

We went to internationally known flea and tick expert Michael Dryden to find out how to fight fleas and eliminate ticks. Dryden has a doctorate in veterinary parasitology, is a founding member of the Companion Animal Parasite Council, and has conducted research on almost every major flea and tick product on the market. Q: How did my dog get these fleas and ticks? A: The way animals get fleas is some other flea-infested animal - a stray dog or stray cat, or some other neighbors’ dog or cat, or urban wildlife, mainly opossums and raccoons - went through your neighborhood, your yard, and the female flea is laying eggs and the eggs are basically rained off into your environment. We call them a living salt shaker. And then those eggs developed into adults and those fleas jumped onto your pet. That’s how it happened.

Tick-borne diseases are also known as zoonotic diseases. A zoonotic disease is an infectious disease that can be transmitted between animals and humans. Ticks are very effective transmitters of disease because most ticks take blood from a large variety of small and large mammals, reptiles and even birds. In general, ticks must ingest a blood meal before they can molt and move to the next stage in their life cycle. Ticks become infected with a disease-causing agent by feeding on infected mammals or birds. For example, a tick can pick up Lyme disease from a field mouse, and later in its life transmit bacteria to a deer, dog or human."

"text": "How to get rid of ticks How to get rid of ticks What is a tick? A tick is a small, blood-sucking mite. Normally it lives on blood from larger animals, like deer, but it may also attach itself to humans. The tick sits on tall grass and trees, waiting for a possible \\'host\\' to walk by. If a tick attaches itself to someone, it will typically find its way to a warm, moist and dark place on the body. It will then insert a probe into the skin and begin sucking blood. In most cases the tick will leave after a while, or the host will get rid of it without any harm having been done. Ticks come in with pets that are outdoors. If you have a lot of long grass around your home, you might want to consider chopping down this grass so that the ticks do not get on your pets.

Although my hatred for lawns is well established, this is one area where even I will admit that they have their advantages. If ticks are a serious problem in your area, keeping a swath of lawn 2-4 inches high around your home, children's play areas, and dog yards or livestock pastures will significantly reduce tick populations in the mowed areas.

They literally \"\"tie\"\" the front wheels together so that they will turn together. As such, if a tie rod breaks or becomes disconnected, the driver can lose control of the vehicle, possibly causing an accident. This makes the tie rod a safety item that needs to be checked regularly and replaced if excessively worn. Tie rods are long-life parts, but they do need to be checked periodically for wear, particularly on their ends. The rod itself does not wear out, but the tie rod ends can and do wear out with time. This is normally checked when the suspension and steering of the car is lubricated, as the tie rod ends are a lube point on most vehicles. Worn tie rods must be replaced. If the tie rod ends are allowed to wear excessively, it affects the steering and handling of the vehicle. This may be noticed by the car tending to wander, forcing the driver to make constant steering corrections when going down a straight highway."

If you are driving and a tie-rod breaks the steering will be very vague, light, and unresponsive … at-best. If you are turning and the outside wheel tie-rod breaks, the car will suddenly understeer and barely respond to steering inputs. You likely will find a curb, field, or wall to visit at a higher-than-optimal rate of speed. If you are turning and the inner wheel tie-rod breaks, you will get a moderate amount of understeer and be able to control the vehicle much better. The tire naturally wants to follow the least amount of resistance, which is always straight ahead. This is fortunate in some instances, and very bad in others. This occurs due to “align torque” forces. Because align torque is considerably stronger in vehicles with highly-positive caster angles, they are going to have amplified symptoms. Grippier tires and conditions also will amplify symptoms."

Contents [ hide ]1 Subtypes and examples of applications2 Physics and engineering principles3 Geometry4 See also5 References Subtypes and examples of applications [ edit]Tie rods and anchor plates in the ruins of Coventry Cathedral In airplane structures, tie rods are sometimes used in the fuselage or wings. Tie rods are often used in steel structures, such as bridges, industrial buildings, tanks, towers, and cranes. Sometimes tie rods are retrofitted to bowing or subsiding masonry walls (brick, block, stone, etc.) to keep them from succumbing to lateral forces. The rebar used in reinforced concrete is not referred to as a \"\"tie rod\"\", but it essentially performs some of the same tension-force-counteracting purposes that tie rods perform. In automobiles, the tie rods are part of the steering mechanism. They differ from the archetypal tie rod by both pushing and pulling (operating in both tension and compression). In the UK, these items are generally referred to as track rods. In steam locomotives, a tie rod is a rod that connects several driving wheels to transmit the power from the connecting rod."

"text": "Bounce Nymphing September 15, 2014“Bounce Nymphing” is another technique that will enable you to keep in contact with the bottom and keep a tight line to your flies. The rigging method is a variation of a tight line rigging method. I have a friend, John, who I fished the Upper Sacramento River with, and I watched as he vacuumed a run right in front of my eyes. He was using a very tight line and kept most of his fly line off the water. As I’ve since discovered he was “Bounce Nymphing”. I came across an article in “ Fly Fisherman ” magazine, written by Larry Tullis. I’ll give you a dose of his medicine. Bounce Nymphing Any of us that have spent any time nymphing know that trout feed subsurface most of the time. In streams and rivers the bugs drift along in the current and are gobbled up by trout waiting for food to come to them. Most of this “nymphing” occurs in the lower third of the water column."

"text": "NEXTImage Gallery: Car Safety One of the most noticeable signs of tie rods going bad is a knocking sound coming from the front end of the vehicle when you turn into a parking space. See more car safety pictures .i Stockphoto/ Thinkstock Most modern vehicles use a steering system called rack and pinion, which incorporates tie rods to help move the wheels. Tie rods are attached on both ends of the steering rack and as the pinion rolls over the slotted rack, they help push and pull the front tires as the steering wheel is turned. Tie rods offer an important function to a vehicle's steering and therefore a car's overall safety. But how long do tie rods typically last? Like most automotive parts, tie rods don't simply go bad because they were manufactured on a specific date and their time has merely expired; they go bad because of normal wear and tear. Tie rods can last for years and years and some car owners may never have to replace them at all, but their longevity can be affected by certain driving conditions. Driving obstacles like potholes, poor road conditions or even minor accidents can cause tie rods to work incorrectly. Because of their importance and high usage, some people recommend having the tie rods inspected regularly. If you don't get your tie rods inspected on a regular basis, there are some warning signs to watch (and listen) for."

"text": "You will find that Yellowstone may require some fly-fishing gear that is different from that you prefer to use at other fly-fishing destinations. Here are some suggestions that may be of help in choosing gear. Fly Line: Most all of the fly-fishing you would be doing can be done using a floating fly line. A sinking or sinking tip line may be needed for specific or special fishing methods. Line sizes would vary depending on the fly you choose to use. Small dry flies fished in the very small streams may suggest you use as small as a three weight line. Most anglers would use a four (4) or five (5) weight however. A five (5) weight fly line would probably be the best all around size for the park if you were limited to one line size. Six (6) and seven (7) weight lines would be preferred for nymphing because you need some added strength to cast the weight you may be attaching to the nymphs. A six (6) or seven (7) weight line sizes would generally be preferred for streamer fishing."

As an important part of your vehicle’s steering and suspension system, tie rods act as the link between your vehicle’s steering system and the steering arm, which is attached to the steering wheel. When you turn the steering wheel, the steering arm moves the front wheels through the steering system. The inner and outer tie rods connect to the steering arm in order to move the wheels of your vehicle. In the common rack-and-pinion steering system, the inner tie rods connect to the steering rack while the outer tie rods connect to the steering arms. The tie rods make steering and turning possible by moving your wheels in the desired direction. Without properly functioning tie rods, the steering mechanism would no longer operate as intended. Because inner and outer tie rods play such a significant role, replacing tie rods as necessary is important for overall vehicle maintenance."

This condition also makes the vehicle less responsive and generally unpleasant to drive. The number and location of ball joints can vary depending on what type of suspension your vehicle has. The ball joints allow movement in your suspension so it can conform to the contours of the road. If a ball joint goes bad, it does not allow the wheel and tire of the vehicle to move as intended, which can not only cause undesired tire wear but also be potentially dangerous if the joint itself fails completely. Most of the joints are designed to be non-serviceable. However, if the boot wears out or is torn, they will lose their grease and wear at an accelerated rate. Some joints do have grease fittings where you can reapply grease and should be inspected when the vehicle is serviced. A ball joint failing often makes a clicking noise, grinding noise or even a clunking noise when going over a bump. One way to diagnose ball joints is to lift the vehicle until the tires clear the ground and apply pressure to the wheel."

"text": "\"Steering Box and Alignment There's always been some play in the steering wheel since I bought the car. A long time ago, I researched this and found that the steering box was the culprit. There's an adjustment that takes out the play. This works by moving a cone that's on the sector arm up or down in the worm gear. The worm gear is turned by the steering wheel and the sector arm has the pitman arm attached with the tie rods that moves the wheels. Back then, I just adjusted the cone until I had removed the free play. When I test drove the car, there was no play when going straight, but I almost didn't make the first curve as it was too tight when turning. The worm gear was worn just in the center area. That makes sense since the steering wheel is centered during most driving and the wear during a turn is spread out over the rest of the worm gear. I ended up having to back off the adjustment until it was tight during turns but loose when centered."

One critical step is placing the reinforcing bars, or rebar, correctly, and this article will explain how this is done. Steps1 Plan the project. For structural concrete construction, an engineer and architect will usually do the technical design work and provide specific information regarding the sizes, configuration, and placement of rebar in the associated concrete work. Planning the actual fabrication and placement, as well as the schedule of the work is your first task.2 Purchase the rebar. For simple projects like typical building foundations and slab reinforcement, you can most likely buy the necessary rebar from a building supply center or home improvement warehouse. For complicated applications such as grade beams, foundation walls, tanks, and other projects, you will need to have specific shapes formed by a rebar fabrication specialist. Here are some examples: Stirrups - These are shaped rebar that hold the lateral reinforcement in a certain configuration, often called a cage. They create a framework that keeps these larger bars in position, and may be round, square, rectangular, or even complex combinations of shapes. Dowels - These are usually L shapes, or straight lengths of rebar with a ninety degree bend on one end."

Although they prefer the sea grass ecosystems of the costal areas, they occasionally inhabit other areas due to prey availability. Tiger sharks spend approximately 36 % of their time in shallow coastlne habitats (Heithaus et al., 2002), generally at depths of 2.5 to 145 m. This species, however, has been documented several kilometers from the shallow areas and at depths up to 350 m. Females are observed in shallow areas more often than males."

Photo © Justin Lewis / Getty Images.by Laura Klappenbach Updated March 08, 2017Cartilaginous fishes (Chondrichthyes) are a group of vertebrates that includes sharks, rays, skates and chimaeras. Members of this group include the largest and most formidable marine predators alive today such as the great white shark and the tiger shark as well as large filter feeders such as the manta ray, whale shark and basking shark. Cartilaginous fishes have a skeleton that consists of cartilage (in contrast to their cousins the bony fish, whose skeletons are made up of true bone). Cartilage is both tough and flexible and it provides sufficient structural support to enable cartilaginous fishes to grow to considerable size. The largest living cartilaginous fish is the whale shark (about 30 feet long and 10 tons). The largest known cartilaginous fish ever to have lived is Megalodon (about 70 feet long and 50-100 tons). Other large cartilaginous fish include the manta ray (about 30 feet long) and the basking shark (about 40 feet long and 19 tons). Small cartilaginous fishes include the short-nose electric ray (about 4 inches long and weighs 1 pound), the starry skate (about 30 inches long), the pale catshark (about 8 inches long) and the dwarf lantern shark (about 7 inches long). Cartilaginous fishes is that they have jaws, paired fins, paired nostrils and a two-chambered heart."

This way of measuring differs from the PSI as it also accounts for the size of the body of the animal that bites. Just for your reference, an average grownup male would have a PSI of 150.

"text": "Pets & Animals Marine Life Sharks Q: How Do Hammerhead Sharks Protect Themselves? A: Quick Answer The hammerhead shark has highly sensitive sensory organs located in its head, one of which is the ampullae of Lorenzini. This detects electric fields emitted by other predators, a system similar to the way sonar operates. Its sandpaper-like skin can tear flesh, and it's equipped with a body that has the ability to bend and twist in sharp movements for both offensive and defensive maneuvers.

Full Answer The eyes of the hammerhead are located on the outer edges of the hammer and allow for sight above and below but with a blind spot directly in front. The great hammerhead generally travels alone, but the smaller scalloped hammerhead is often found in schools for greater protection, especially the females for protection from the males. Because a hammerhead's mouth is so small, many become bottom feeders, and their heads allow them to easily scan beneath the surface of the sand for food."

I've just seen a video of different animal fights and their violence is unbelievable. Animals fight for their lives and only then would you see their real power. Tigers are rarely attacked hence you rarely see them fight with all of their strength. When little animals get hurt they become two times faster and more fierce, something you can rarely see in lions and tigers also because of their courage. Same thing applies to other large animals. But, taken all into account, speed, stamina, prowess, ability in general, tiger takes the top. It beat lions almost always and lions beat crocodiles and rhinos...

Hammerhead sharks are large carnivorous fish that prey on large fish and occasionally hammerhead sharks will hunt small water mammals. Hammerhead sharks are found in the warmer waters of oceans worldwide but hammerhead sharks are particularly found in coastal waters, and along continental shelves. The shallow waters that the hammerhead sharks inhabit allow the hammerhead shark to hunt prey more easily. There are 9 different species of hammerhead shark worldwide, ranging from 3ft to 20ft in length! Hammerhead sharks are not commonly known to attack humans but can be aggressive if a human came into contact with a hammerhead shark. The flat shaped head of the hammerhead shark is thought to allow the hammerhead shark to detect prey more easily, as it increases the hammerhead sharks sensitivity to sonar activity. Hammerhead sharks are thought to use sonar waves detection in a similar way to their five main senses, so its like the hammerhead shark has a sixth sense. The shape of the head of the hammerhead shark is made up of two projections on either side of the face of the hammerhead shark, which gives the hammerhead shark the head shape that resembles a hammer almost rectangular in shape. The eyes and nostrils of the hammerhead shark are found at the ends of the hammer allowing the hammerhead shark to have better vision and smell of the surrounding water."

There are 21 different species of Albatross found across the southern seas, but sadly 19 of the different Albatross species are said to be threatened with extinction today. The Albatross is closely related to other sea-birds including Petrels, which are all unique among Birds due to the tubular nostrils on either side of the top of their bill, meaning these Birds are often referred to as Tubenoses. The Albatross was first brought into the public spotlight with Coleridge's 1798 poem, the Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Albatross Anatomy and Appearance The Albatross is one of the largest Birds in the skies as the wingspan of the male Wandering Albatross can easily reach 3.5 meters or more in length, meaning that it has the largest wingspan of any Bird. The Wandering Albatross also has a body that is more than 1 meter long (including the tail), with the size of other species generally being slightly smaller. The Albatross is an easily identifiable Bird with long, narrow wings, a large head, and a long, strong bill which is hooked at the end and has sharp blades on either side to handle slippery prey. There are three toes on each of the Albatross's feet with webbed skin between each one. Unlike many other species of Bird, the Albatross has no hind toes as these sea-birds simply have no need for them. Albatross Distribution and Habitat All 21 different species of Albatross are mainly distributed throughout the southern Pacific, with some species found far into the Southern Ocean."

"text": "Bull Shark Bull Shark – Carcharhinus leucas The bull shark is also known as the zambezi shark. It should not be confused with the sand tiger shark ( Carcharhinus taurus), which is also called bull shark in other languages. Many people consider the bull shark one of the most dangerous sharks in the world since this species has many attacks on humans registered, and according to the Internation Shark Attack File, it is the third species with most attacks on humans, only after the great white shark and the tiger shark. Besides, its aggressiveness and its ability to live in saltwater as well as freshwater, add further concern. It is a member of the order Carcharhiniformes, Carcharhinidae, and Carcharhinus. DESCRIPTIONThe reason why it is called “bull shark” refers to the short, sturdy form of its body that resembles a bull, and perhaps it is also due to its hostile behavior. It has a blunt snout, rounded and wide but not very long. It has two dorsal fins with a triangular shape, of which the second is visibly smaller but the tips of both are dark in young specimens. They do not have an interdorsal ridge. The reason why it is called “bull shark” refers to the short, sturdy form of its body."

Plants are at the bottom of this chain. They get their energy from the sun, which allows them to manufacture the substances they need for their development.

"text": "WHY IS LION CALLED KING OF THE JUNGLE - LION VS TIGERbodhispeak Subscribe 134KAdd to Share More1,008,969 views9,3151,914Published on Jan 13, 2017Welcome back to Bodhispeak! Today, let’s explore one of the old legends that we often refer to. Why do we consider the lion as the king of the jungle? Yes, it is at the top of the food chain, but it definitely is not the strongest or the biggest of the wild cats around. Pound for pound, the average tiger is a larger animal, faster, more lethal and equipped with higher intelligence than an average lion. Besides, the lion does not actually live in the jungle! Its the tiger that lives in the jungle, while the lion lives in the savanna or grasslands! So, why do old sayings still equate a lion with strength, bravery, courage as in ‘fought like a lion’ or ‘has a lion’s heart’ and not any other animal - be it a tiger, elephant, hippopotamus or a crocodile? Why is the lion more represented than any other wild animal in national emblems or Royal Coat of arms of various countries, which include the UK, India, Netherlands, Luxemborg and Bulgaria? Let’s look at some possible reasons!"

A smaller population of lions lives in forests of western India. When it comes to habitat, these big cats are very diverse. Although lions are indeed massive, tigers (Panthera tigris) are larger. Lion Average Weight In general, fully grown male lions weigh in at around 420 pounds, according to Animal Diversity Web of the University of Michigan. They are significantly bigger than female lions, which generally weigh about 280 pounds. The heftiest weight reported for a male lion is approximately 600 pounds -- almost 200 pounds more than the average. Large as some lions are, Siberian tigers -- a Panthera tigris subspecies -- grow to more than 930 pounds in weight in extreme cases. The average height of the Siberian tiger is slightly under 4 feet at the shoulders. Lion Average Height Male lions are also usually a little bit taller than female lions, although not usually by a lot."

"text": "\"Difference Between Tiger and Cheetah Posted on December 14, 2011 by Naveen Tiger vs Cheetah Tiger and cheetah are two different feline carnivores with many different characteristics between each other. They both are top predators with camouflaging coats of fur, so that the prey species cannot see them. Despite these differences, the two species are still mixed up by those who are not familiar with these majestic creatures. Tiger Tiger, Pantheratigris, is one of the flagship species, and they are the largest among all the felids in terms of body size. They are naturally distributed in South and Southeast Asia in dispersed forest patches with a limited number of individuals. In fact, they have been categorised as an endangered species by the IUCN since many years. There are six subspecies of tigers, and the Bengali tiger is a type of species. The Sumatran tiger, Javan tiger, Malaysian tiger, Chinese tiger, and Siberian tiger are the other subspecies. These large animals average more than 300 kilograms of weight among males. However, their females are considerably smaller than males with a recorded maximum weight close to 170 kilograms."

Sabre-toothed tigers roamed the mid-western US and parts of both North and South America and were named for the enormous canines which skeletons show, protruded quite far out of their mouths. It became extinct in the Quanternary period (the end of the dinosaur period) and during the ice age. Despite it's name, the sabre-toothed tiger was not actually related to the modern tigers that are found throughout the jungles of Asia. It is thought that the sabre-toothed tiger would have roamed across the grassland plains and open woodlands throughout both North and South America where individuals would of varied slightly depending on the area which they inhabited. The sabre-toothed tiger is one of the best known ice-age animals but little is really known about them as they are thought to have become extinct around 10,000BC which is a long time ago. The sabre-toothed tiger was named for the canines that could grow to more than 7 inches in length and were capable of fatally wounding their prey with one bite. Sadly, the colour of the sabre-tooth tiger is unknown but it is thought that is would of been of a similar colouration to the modern day lion found in Africa (and which it is not closely related to). The sabre-toothed tiger also had a powerful, muscular body which meant that it could quickly catch and pounce on it's prey before using it's knife-like teeth to cause to the fatal blow. In the same way as modern day felines, the sabre-toothed tiger was a carnivorous animal and would of been the most dominant predator within its environment."

Created by the mating of a male Lion with a female Tiger, Ligers tend to far exceed the size of both of their parents and although they share similar characteristics with both of them, the Liger tends to be more like a Lion rather than a Tiger. A Tigon is the result of breeding a female Lion with a male Tiger, with this animal tending to be less like a Lion having more Tiger-like qualities. Due to the fact though that Lions and Tigers live in different areas of the world, it is very unlikely that Ligers (or Tigons) would occur naturally in the wild. Today there are a handful of Ligers found in zoos around the world, which are a result of either accidental or deliberate Human intervention. Liger Anatomy and Appearance The Liger is an enormous animal with a large muscular body and broad head. Ligers tend to have sandy or dark yellow fur which is covered in the distinctive faint stripes inherited from their mother. Although other variations in fur colour have been known (including white when their mother is a White Tiger), the Liger generally has a more Lion-like appearance including the manes of the males. Although a Liger's mane is not as big or as impressive as that of an adult Lion, they can grow quite large on some individuals but it is not uncommon for a male Liger to have no mane at all. Along with their stripes which tend to be most noticeable around their hind quarters, the Liger may also inherit the spots found on the backs of Tiger's ears along with the tufted fur around their chins."

Apart from the extinct animals we will never see, these rare felines are so few since they are either threatened by loss of habitat or they have suffered from rare color mutation. Take a look at the rarest animals in the world!1. The Maltese Tiger The Blue tiger was reported mostly from the Fujian Province of China, being characterized by a bluish fur with dark stripes. The Maltese tigers have been reported as a subspecies of the South Chinese tiger, that is critically endangered. A blue tiger cub was born in 1964, in the Oklahoma Zoo, but died in its infancy. There are no blue tigers in zoos or private collections, and no known blue tiger pelts.2. The Golden Tabby Tiger The golden tiger has its white coat and gold patches due to an extremely rare colour variation caused by a recessive gene. Around 30 tigers are believed to exist in the world but many more are carriers of the gene. Records of the golden or strawberry tiger date back to the 1900s, in India."

To the best of my knowledge, no one has ever documented the speed of a full on run of any of these three cats in their natural environment.

"text": "Tigers in Africa - their future? Join Daryl & Sharna Balfour with legendary film-maker & conservationist John Varty at a unique tiger sanctuary in South Africa where you will have unheard of opportunities for seeing and photographing Asian tigers living in the wild. Tigers are the most endangered big cats in the world. Probably the most iconic and recognized animal on earth, tiger numbers in the wild in their home range states in Asia have plummeted from over 100 000 a century ago to perhaps fewer than 3000 today! Despite international efforts to conserve tigers in Asia it appears that the home states neither have the will nor the wherewithal to take positive conservation measures. John Varty, co-owner of world famous class-leading Londolozi Game Reserve on the western borders of Kruger Park, after visiting India and China on several occasions and getting nothing but disheartening impressions, decided to do something about the situation. His far-sighted if controversial plans are to “privatise tigers” by establishing privately owned tiger game reserves wherever suitable land and prey is available. To this end he has been engaged for more than a decade in establishing tiger sanctuaries in South Africa. His initial ideas of breeding viable wild, free-ranging, self-sustaining tigers to be returned to Asia in the future, has been set aside in favour of rather turning Africa into the world’s new and premier tiger viewing destination. “ Why send tigers back to places where they are not adequately protected; where dead tigers are worth more than living tigers; where tigers compete for space with more than half of all mankind?”"

The reasons for the same are simple yet exciting, India currently has more than 500 national parks, wildlife sanctuaries and tiger reserves. These national parks and sanctuaries house the largest population of tigers in the world, a large number of mighty one horned Rhino, the highly endangered and almost extinct Asiatic Lion and a huge tusker population. These are just a few of the thousands of animal and bird species who have made the jungles of India their home. Indian wildlife expedition is a compelling and pleasurable thought in itself. The choices are immense and unending. Imagine moving through a thick forest in search of a striped predator on the back of a huge tusker...seems wonderful. Isn't it? Most of the national parks and wildlife sanctuaries in India provide various facilities for jungle watching that include bird watching on jeeps, elephants, cycle or just trekking through the uneven pathways."

"text": "The 50 best safari holidays3Most travellers are keen to see the big five Credit: Stevie Mann Brian Jackman13 February 2017 • 1:00pm T o go on safari is to take part in one of life’s last great adventures – and the word from the bush is that safaris are likely to get a lot more adventurous still in 2017, the industry’s response to demand from those looking for an extra dash of adrenalin. Most safari newcomers are keen to see the Big Five: elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard. But after an initial bush baptism, you might be tempted to stray off the regular tourist trail, sign up for a walking safari, go gorilla tracking, seek out a remote destination, or choose one of the less visited parks such as Kafue in Zambia. Overall, tourism to Africa has bounced back after the shock of Ebola and the wider fears of terrorism. Namibia is doing so well that it’s wise to book early, and South Africa should also remain popular because of the favourable currency exchange rate. As for Kenya, the sleeping giant of African tourism, there are signs that the country is recovering from the terrorist threat of Al-Shabaab. The Indian Ocean coast is coming back into favour, at least south of Mombasa where luxury lodges such as Kinondo Kwetu and Saruni Ocean are doing well. The Maasai Mara and its epic wildebeest migration continue to be a priceless asset and Kenya could be the surprise destination of 2017. But that will depend on trouble-free elections when it goes to the polls in August. The biggest concern for cash-strapped Britons is the Brexit effect."

Long extinct in the wild now, this most majestic of cats was characterized by its massive size and great mane that covered as much as half of its body surface. The lion roamed over a large part of northern Africa, in an area ranging from Atlas Mountains in the west (modern day Morocco) to Nubia in the east (modern day northern Sudan) and was thus known as Atlas or Nubian Lion. The scientific classification is Panthera Leo Leo. Physically, the Barbary Lion was amongst the largest of all recorded lion subspecies in history. It is thought to have weighed nearly five hundred and fifty pounds on average for adult males. Females were around three hundred and fifty pounds in weight. The body length was believed to be as much as eleven feet. The built was compact and muscular and legs were short. Even as the Barbary Lion stood only three feet tall, nearly a foot shorter than the modern day African Lion, it was approximately fifty percent bigger than lions of today in overall size."

The term \"\"zoological garden\"\" refers to zoology, the study of animals, a term deriving from the Greek zōon (ζῷον, 'animal') and lógos (λóγος, 'study'). The abbreviation \"\"zoo\"\" was first used of the London Zoological Gardens, which was opened for scientific study in 1828 and to the public in 1857. [ 1] The number of major animal collections open to the public around the world now exceeds to 1,000, around 80 percent of them are in cities.

The two surviving cubs, both females, were removed from Changbai when she showed no interest in taking care of them. Both two-week-old cubs are in seclusion in the Zoo hospital, housed in a 90-degree ambient temperature enclosure, with a base warmed to 85 degrees to sustain the cubs’ warmth. “We are hand feeding the babies five times a day,” explained Zoo Director Gregg Dancho. “ They are being given a feline milk replacement formula, supplemented with vitamins. They are a little underweight, possibly due to the age of their mother and the fact that there were four kittens in the litter.” Survival of the two remaining cubs is still a challenge. Zoo veterinarians and animal care staff are doing everything they can to get them through this critical time. It will be several more weeks before the cubs will be available for viewing by the public. Zoo staff was aware of the tiger’s pregnancy through fecal hormone testing, and had been keeping a 24-hour watch on Changbai for the past few weeks."

Tin cans only found wide-spread use during the American Civil war and, since then, manufacturing and metallurgical processes have improved, allowing the creation of newer and better \"\"tins\"\" to keep food. TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)Contrary to its name, a tin can made using modern processes actually contains no tin. Tin is relatively rare, and modern cans are usually made of aluminum or other treated metals. About Tin While tin is technically considered a \"\"common\"\" metal instead of a precious metal like gold, tin is still rare. It may be the least available of all common metals. This means that making anything out of pure tin — especially common objects —would be difficult and very expensive."

"text": "Types of Ceiling Tiles By Beth Asaff Kitchen and Bathroom Designer Source The ceiling is one of the largest unbroken expanses seen in any room of your home. It can be plastered, aggregate, vaulted, dropped or tiled for aesthetic or functional reasons. If you're considering what to do with your ceiling, don't overlook the many types of ceiling tiles available on the market. Four Types of Ceiling Tiles There are four broad types of ceiling tiles - acoustical, plastic, tin and cork. Within those categories there is a further break down of tiles by design, installation and use. Acoustical Ceiling Tiles Source Acoustical ceiling tiles are used to help soundproof a room. They are usually made of fiberglass, and are installed using a drop-ceiling method. This means that metal strapping is installed across the ceiling and the tiles are dropped or hung from the straps, although some brands do make tiles that can snap together without visible straps. Acoustical ceiling panels usually need to be installed by a professional to ensure their acoustical and insulating properties, but some brands can be put up by an experienced DIYer. Acoustical ceiling tiles are often also used for insulation because the same materials that make them soundproof also insulate the room thermally."

"text": "50 Jaw-Dropping Ideas for Upcycling Tin Cans Into Beautiful Household Items!February 5, 2016 By Vanessa Beaty 10 Comments Even (maybe even especially) when you are strapped for cash, you probably stock up on canned foods every month. Canned foods are cheap, they don’t go bad, and you can use them for all kinds of recipes. What do you do with the cans when you are done cooking, though? You probably throw them right into the recycling bin. Maybe you wait a while to accumulate a bunch before you chuck them out, or maybe you toss them every week. Either way, you are parting ways with a valuable craft supply. Seriously, you are just not going to believe all of the things you can create using tin cans and other simple and cheap craft supplies! I first fell in love with the idea of converting tin cans into household décor when I saw some gorgeous tin can wind chimes (which I’ll be sharing with you later in the post). But then I ran a few searches online and I stumbled across a ton of equally amazing ideas. These projects don’t stop at decorative items either."

In fact, it is actually one of the more popular options when it comes to roofing, possibly because of its low cost and high durability. Homeowners looking to have a new roof installed in the near future may wish to consider tin roofing as an option. Furthermore, homeowners in need of roof replacement may also consider this type of roof. The Costs The minimum reported cost of tin roofing is $6.60 per square foot. The average cost of tin roofing is $8.30 per square foot. The maximum reported cost of tin roofing is $12.50 per square foot. All About Tin Roofing What many people do not realize is that tin roofing is typically not made entirely of tin. On the contrary, tin roofs tend to be comprised of a number of materials. Tin is one of these, of course, but other common materials found in tin roofs include galvanized steel, aluminum and copper."

I got the basic gist of how to work it out from Ruth Clemens on her Pink whisk blog. You take your basic recipe and then measure the volume of water that the cake tin will hold. Now my Madeira cake recipe is for an 8″ cake but I find that the cake isn’t as deep as I’d like it to be. It usually only comes out about 3/4 of the depth of the tin, so I have been experimenting. My goal was to have a cake that would rise to just above the rim of the cake tin so that I could skim off the top to make sure that it’s perfectly flat – ready for decorating. So I used my 8″ recipe in a 6″ tin and voila. Perfect result. So that was my base to work with. How to measure the volume of a cake tin The reason you need to measure the volume is so you know how much cake mix fits in your cake tin."

Usually tin roofing is made with small ridges at the ends and the middle of each panel or sheet. These ridges are there to ensure a good seal between joints, but not all sheets will fit perfectly onto your roof and so cutting is necessary. The best way to cut tin roofing depends on the cut you need to make and your experience working with metal roofing materials. Prepare Before You Cut No matter which cutting tool you use, planning your cuts is by far the best way to cut tin roofing. Measure and make note of the location of roof vents, chimneys and other areas that will require cuts. Use a tape measure to make precise markings on the tin and a marker to sketch the cuts. A carpenter’s square or a two-by-four is useful for marking straight cuts. When marking your cuts, draw on both sides of the tin. Preparing the cuts ensures that you make only the cuts you need, because you get them right the first time."

It is a swatch of natural fabric (such as cotton or linen) that has been burned very slowly so that it is similar to charcol and ignites with a single spark. This is done by putting the cloth in a containre with a small hole, which is then placed on campfire coals and allowed to cook slowly until the cloth is properly charred.

Unlike the recorder, there is no thumb hole on the tin whistle, and the upper octave is reached by overblowing. The tin whistle is generally held with the left hand above the right hand, and with the index, middle, and ring fingers of the left hand covering the top three holes, while the same fingers on the right hand cover the bottom three holes. The tin whistle, like all pennywhistles, may be conical, with a bore that is tapered, or cylindrical, with a straight bore. While \"\"tin whistle\"\" clearly refers to a metal instrument with a mouthpiece made of molded plastic, identical instruments in all but materials, called whistles or pennywhistles or Irish whistles, are made entirely of wood or plastic. The plastic whistles claim to have more pitch stability in the face of changing air temperature. A tin whistle may or may not come with a thumb rest, but some companies sell a detachable thumb rest that can be added. Some tin whistles are tunable, but others are nontunable, and there are one-piece and two-piece models. In addition, some brands of tin whistle are available with 1 or 2 keys, rather than just open holes, making the holes easier to reach.

"text": "\"Book Marks In Article Grades of Lead Sample Alloy Recipes Alloy Maintenance Key Points Related Articles Common Bullet Alloys Endnotes Lead Antimony Tin Arsenic Linotype Wheel Weight Automotive batteries Just about every alloy containing lead has been used to cast bullets at one time or another with varying degrees of success. Many bullet casters use an alloy simply because it’s what they have available without giving much consideration to the type of shooting the bullets are intended for. If competition and the best possible accuracy and velocity, or hunting bullets with a known amount of or lack of expansion are the goals, repeatability from batch to batch of the alloy is mandatory and a reliable, consistent source of alloy is needed, more on this further on. Informal plinking or practice ammo and very short ranges can tolerate much more variation in bullet alloy. Accuracy is a relative thing, what is outstanding accuracy for one person and his type/style of shooting, his type of firearm and his skill level would send another bullet caster running back to the drawing board to find out what went terribly wrong. Your type of shooting, your firearms and most important, the level of accuracy that you are willing to accept should guide you in selecting bullet alloys. A very common misconception is that cast bullets lead the bore because the alloy is too soft, in reality this is very rarely the case. Poor bullet fit in the firearm is responsible for more leading problems than is the alloy BHN (Brinell hardness number) being too low. Poor or improper chamber and bore dimensions with incorrectly sized bullets and poor or inadequate lubrication rank next in causing leading ahead of bullet BHN. This is not to say that there aren’t soft bullets, its just not the first thing you should think of."

Being so soft, tin is rarely used as a pure metal; instead, it is combined with other metals in order to make alloys that possess tin's numerous beneficial properties. These include a low toxicity level and a high resistance to corrosion. Tin is also both malleable (easy to press and shape without breaking) and ductile (able to be stretched without tearing). Properties Atomic Symbol: Sn Atomic Number: 50Element Category: Post-transition Metal Density: 7.365g/cm3Melting Point: 231.9°C (449.5°F)Boiling Point: 2602°C (4716°F)Moh's Hardness: 1.5Production Tin is most often produced from the mineral cassiterite, which is made-up of about 80% tin. Most tin is found in alluvial deposits, riverbeds, and former riverbeds, as a result of erosion of ore bodies containing the metal. China and Indonesia are currently the world's largest producers. Tin is smelted at temperatures of up to 2500°F (1370°C) with carbon to produce low purity tin and CO 2 gas. It is then refined to high purity (>99%) tin metal through boiling, liquation or electrolytic methods. Applications Many everyday items that we associate with tin, such as \"\"tin cans\"\" and \"\"tinfoil\"\", are actually misnomers."

These toads are very large in size, often reaching 8 or 9 inches when mature and are typically only found in certain parts of North American, including the region between Arizona and California and in Florida, Texas, Hawaii, and other tropical areas (respectively). The Marine toad is considered to be more poisonous, and most dogs poisoned by these toads will die if untreated. Just mouthing or holding the toad in the mouth can result in poisoning and death. Dogs can even be poisoned by drinking the water out of container that a toad sat in. Poisoning is due to steroids compounds (bufotoxins and bufodienolids) and biogenic amines such as bufotenins, bufotionins, epinenephrine, serotonin, and others found in the toad’s parotid glands and skin. Mouthing, chewing or otherwise playing with the toad causes compression of the glands and secretion of the poison. Contact with the mucous membranes or ingestion can result in severe, immediate drooling, followed by an elevated temperature, brick red mucous membranes, abnormal heart rhythms, difficulty breathing, seizures, and even death. If you suspect your pet mouthed, licked or ingested a toad, rinse the mouth out immediately and call your veterinarian or Pet Poison Helpline for immediate life-saving advice. Poison type: Envenomations Alternate names: Bufo toads, cane toads, Colorado River toad, Marine toad, frogs, bufotoxins, bufodienolids, bufagins, bufotenins, bufotionins"

Introduction Dendrobates are amphibians and are members of the family Dendrobatidae. They are most recognized for their extravagant colours that warn potential predators of their highly toxic defensive chemistry. Their common names are the Poison Dart Frogs or Poison Arrow Frogs. Classification The poison arrow frogs are classified as follows: Kingdom: Amimalia Phylum: Chordata Subphylum: Vertebrata Class: Amphibia Order: Anura Family: Dendrobatidae Genus: Dendrobates There are ten species belonging to genus Dendrobates. The most common are Dendrobates auratus, the green and black poison dart frog, Dendrobates azureus, the blue poison dart frog, Dendrobates histrionicus, Dendrobates lehmanni, Dendrobates leucomelas, the yellow-banded poison dart frog, Dendrobates pumilio, the strawberry poison dart frog, and Dendrobates tinctorius. The class Amphibia includes other tetrapod organisms such as salamanders and toads. Amphibians are ectothermic and do not have amniotic eggs. The name of the order Anura translates to “without tail,” a characteristic that is recognized as a synapomorphic trait of frogs and toads. The specialized fusion of their bones in the tibia and fibula is also a synapomophic character state that supports jumping in frogs and toads."

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

"text": "“What’s one man’s poison, signior, / Is another’s meat or drink.” — Beaumont and Fletcher, “Love’s Cure”In A Nutshell Animals like snakes and spiders are often described as either being venomous or poisonous; both are harmful, but there is a difference. That difference is in the delivery system of the animal’s toxic substance. Animals that are venomous must inject their target with their toxin, whether through a bite or a sting. Those that are poisonous have toxins that must be swallowed or inhaled in order to be dangerous. The Whole Bushel The difference between a poisonous snake and a venomous snake is essentially the delivery system. While both types pose a threat to humans and other animals alike, it’s the venomous animals that have an aggressive form of defending themselves and delivering the toxin. For an animal to be venomous, the toxin has to be somehow injected into the body of the victim. Whether they use fangs or stingers, venomous animals have to get their toxins beneath the skin and then into the bloodstream to be effective. Poisonous animals, on the other hand, have a passive-aggressive form of toxicity."

Unfortunately, the world’s amphibians are under threat from a variety of factors and amphibian populations are declining worldwide. The Amazon still contains the highest diversity of different amphibians and many animals could be going extinct before we even know they exist. Similarly to many animals in the Amazon, the Amazon Rainforest amphibians are less diverse in the eastern Amazon compared to the west. The western Amazon Rainforest has been found to support a much higher diversity of different animals, which could be linked to proximity to the Andes mountain range. Amphibian communities differ for each area within the Amazon Rainforest, which intensifies the need for research on these animals. Harlequin Frog Harlequin Frog True Toads Defense Behavior Harlequin frogs are really true toads in the genus Atelopus, but as they have a smooth skin and lack the toad-like warty appearance they’re more similar to frogs. Usually there is no scientific difference between what we know as frogs and toads.

Signs of illness may include the following: Vomiting Diarrhea Seizures Blood in the stool Lethargy Loss of appetite Bruising Nosebleeds Irregular heartbeat Inability to urinate Types of poisoning symptoms in dogs and cats Gastrointestinal poisoning symptoms Gastrointestinal symptoms, including loss of appetite and vomiting, result from eating poisons like garbage or lead paint and from toxic plants, such as English ivy and English holly. Diarrhea is caused by eating garbage, medications, some snake bites, chocolate, and many toxic plants, including Chinaberry, iris, poinsettia, pokeweed and daphne. Seizures and neurologic poisoning symptoms Seizures and neurologic symptoms are caused by several poisons including strychnine, tobacco, aspirin, antidepressants, alcohol, marijuana, flea repellents, insecticides, gasoline, drain cleaners, dishwasher detergent, and furniture polish. Some frogs, toads, spiders, and snakes also cause seizures in pets, including Coral snakes, the Florida marine toad, the Colorado River toad and the brown recluse spider. Some plants also cause neurologic symptoms, including horse chestnuts and buckeyes. Bleeding and anemia from poisoning Bruising, nosebleeds, blood in the stool, and anemia are caused by rat and mouse poisons. Excessive amounts of onions and garlic, sweet clover, and bracken fern also cause anemia and possible death.

"text": "\"Giant Toad Bufo marinus Description: The Giant Toad (a.k.a. Marine Toad or Cane Toad) is the largest of the frogs and toads found in Florida. The giant toad is not native to the United States. It was originally released in the U. S. in sugar cane fields to help control “white grubs,” larvae of pest Scarabaeidae. B. marinus became established in southern Florida as result of accidental release of about 100 specimens from the stock of a pet dealer at Miami airport in 1955, and by subsequent releases by pet dealers in the 1960s (Krakauer, 1968). Giant Toads are a highly predacious exotic species that will eat all types of native frogs and toads. This species is skilled at locating all types of food, they have even been known to eat pet food. Reproduction: The giant toad breeds year-round in standing water, streams, canals and ditches. CAUTION: When this non-native species is threatened or handled, it secretes a highly toxic milky substance from its large parotoid glands at the back of its head, behind the ears. This secretion can burn your eyes, may irritate your skin, and can kill cats and dogs if they ingest the secretion."

The term \"\"toad\"\" tends to refer to the \"\"True Toads\"\".... which are members of the family Bufonidae, containing more than 300 species. Toads are fat-bodied, where frogs are generally slim. Toads have warts, where a frog's skin is smooth. Toads can live in drier climates, where most frogs usually live in or near water. In the Tropics, where most anuran (members of the order comprising the frogs, toads, and tree toads) species occur, however, the differences are harder to determine, and some species could qualify as either toads or frogs. APPEARANCE : Toads are characterized by: stubby bodies with short hind legs, warty and dry skin (usually preferring dryer climates), and prominent bony ridges on top of their heads with conspicuous swellings (parotoid glands) behind the eyes. The physical distinctions of toads to frogs, can easily get blurred because sometimes the features appear mixed or less obivious, and certain species even legitimately fall into both categories."

Adult Cane Toads are active at night during the warm months of the year and can survive temperatures ranging from 5-40 degrees celsius. Cane Toad spawn occurs in long gelatinous strings with double rows of black eggs with females laying between 8-35 000 eggs at a time.

"text": "Husky Edibles – Tomatillos & Ground Cherries Posted on Sep 10, 2017 in Fearless Food | 5 comments Tomatillos and ground cherries both belong to the nightshade family, and although they taste very different, they look very similar. Both fruits grow like paper lanterns, enclosed in an inedible husk. Tomatillos are medium sized, while ground cherries produce a cherry-sized fruit and closely resemble their distant relative, the cape gooseberry. Even though tomatillos are sometimes called “green tomatoes,” they should not be confused with green, unripe tomatoes (tomatoes are in the same family, but a different genus). Purple and red varieties often have a slight sweetness, unlike the green and yellow varieties commonly used in Latin cuisine (salsa verde), and are therefore somewhat more suitable for fruit-like uses such as jams and preserves. Another characteristic is that they tend to have a sappy sticky coating on the fruit, which can be easily washed off. Ground cherries are commonly grown for snacking, as they are bite-sized and taste like a mix between a pineapple and a tomato: sweet and citrusy. If you’ve never tried one, you’re missing out! They grow laterally, sprawling out like a ground cover, and the fruit grows from bright yellow flowers that blossom on the undersides of the plant stems. How do you know when they are ready to harvest?"

I am a huge fan of Gazpacho soup in the summertime. I also love Salsa Verde and cucumbers, so I decided to change up the ingredients for traditional gazpacho and make a tomatillo-cucumber version of gazpacho soup. I pureed the tomatillo with some additional vegetables for a nice smooth texture that reminds me of the flavors of Salsa Verde. I also diced up the rest of the vegetables to add in, since I enjoy the crunchy texture of raw vegetables. This resulted in a very tasty and refreshing summer soup to keep cool during the hot summer evening. Top this Tomatillo and Cucumber Gazpacho Soup with some shrimp and fresh mozzarella cheese and you have a nice light dinner. My husband gave this gazpacho soup a big thumbs up! Make a large batch so you can enjoy for lunch the next day or another meal. Please check out Spanish Gazpacho Soup and Gazpacho Soup with Avocado Creme Fraiche."

The main difference between regular salsa and salsa verde is that tomatillos are used instead of red tomatoes. Due to the tomatillos, salsa verde has a tangy, zesty flavor with the underlying tastes of hearty roasted green chiles and onions. What You'll Need12-15 tomatillos, husks removed, quartered5 cloves of garlic1 medium white or yellow onion, skin removed, coarsely chopped1 bunch cilantro1 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon vegetable oil1 jalapeno, seeds removed3 large green chiles, (such as Poblano, Ancho, Anaheim or Hatch) roasted and skins removed1 tablespoon lime juice How to Make It Add onions, jalepeno and tomatillos into a food processor and pulse 4-5 times. Add in remaining ingredients and pulse until desired consistency. Salsa verde can be served immediately, but is better when it sits in the refrigerator overnight to let the flavors meld.

I start trying out party menu items weeks in advance, taking every opportunity to whip up some fine Mexican foods. Of course no Cinco de Mayo affair would be complete without salsa, and my current favorite is Rick Bayless's roasted tomatillo salsa. Although the original recipe has the tomatillos cooked stovetop in a skillet, it's easily adaptable to the grill, and I actually find it cleaner and easier to make this over the flames. I grill tomatillo halves until they're completely soft, then pulse them together with some garlic, chiles, cilantro, and water. After adding in chopped onion, I adjust the seasoning with sugar and salt, and so quickly a beautiful and fresh salsa with a complex mix of tart, sweet, and spicy is ready to go. I always make a double recipe of this, because I usually finish a single myself before anyone else even gets a chance at it. Grilled Tomatillo Salsa Adapted from Mexican Everyday by Rick Bayless.

"text": "\"What Are Tomatillos Good For?0Disponible en Español Tomatillo Talk Botanical name: Physalis philadelphica It's ironic that even though the Aztecs probably used them as one of their staple crops, it may have been Spanish conquistadors who introduced tomatillos (which translates to \"\"little tomatoes\"\" in Spanish) to the New World, after first carrying them back to Spain. Sometimes called husk cherries or tomato verde, tomatillos are a small, green Mexican fruit with a Japanese lantern-type shell surrounding it. While they're from the tomato family, and in fact do resemble small, green tomatoes inside the papery covering, tomatillos appear more like cape gooseberries. When removing the covering, don't be surprised when the fruit seems a little sticky – this can be easily washed off. The fruit contains a pectin-like substance that thickens as it cools. Tomatillos have a faintly tart, lemon-like essence, which is tastier when picked green than if the fruit is allowed to darken to yellow, red, or even purple. They're about the size of a large walnut or a small lemon. Blended with garlic, onions, and herbs like cumin and cilantro, tomatillos lend themselves well to lively Mexican recipes such as enchiladas, tacos, and burritos. They're also excellent in soups, sandwiches, and salads. Salsa verde is a favorite using tomatillos as the main ingredient, but they also can be a great base for any type of salsa."

"text": "Market Watch: Tomatillos Pinterest Facebook Twitter Emailjatrax By: Abigail Chipley Though they look like small, green tomatoes encased in papery husks, these tangy little fruits have a flavor all their own. Denser in texture and more acidic than their larger relatives, tomatillos, or “tomates verdes,” have been a staple ingredient in Mexican cooking since Mayan times. In the fairly recent past, all that was available to American cooks were the canned type. But now, from late summer until the first frost, you’re likely to find them in well-stocked grocery stores and farmer’s markets. The most common variety ranges from size from a walnut to a golf ball and is light to bright green in color. If you’re lucky, you might happen on a more unusual type, such as the pineapple tomatillo, with its sweet, bright flavor, or the beautiful purple tomatillo. Tomatillo Facts Tomatillos are an excellent source of soluble fiber and are packed with vitamins C, K, and potassium. They are rich in the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, which help protect your vision and prevent macular degeneration. What’s more, they contain a mere 42 calories per cup. Choose firm tomatillos that have grown to fill their husks; if the husk is larger than the fruit, they are not fully mature."

Tomatillo is a member of the nightshade family, related to tomatoes. It now grows everywhere in the Western Hemisphere and is common in Texas gardens. The fruit of the tomatillo is green and about the size of a large cherry tomato. The inside is white and meatier than a tomato. They grow to maturity inside of a husk. They can range in size from about an inch in diameter to the size of apricots. They are covered by a papery husk which may range from the pale green color of the fruit itself to a light grocery-bag brown. The husks are inedible and should be removed before use.

"text": "\"Growing Fruit How to Grow Organic Ground Cherries in the Garden The fruit for gardeners who don't have room for fruit By Colleen Vanderlinden Updated 10/09/17Share Pin Email Image Source/Image Source/Getty Images Ground cherries (Physalis pruinosa) are one of the least well-known fruits to grow in your garden. These small, yellow berries have a sweet-tart flavor that is similar to pineapple with a very faint background flavor of tomato. Ground cherries—also known as cape gooseberry and husk tomato—are grown as annuals in areas that experience winter freezes. If you want to grow more fruit in your garden, but don't have the space for trees or large brambles, ground cherries may be just the thing. Where to Grow Ground Cherries Ground cherries grow well in any area that has a relatively long growing season, particularly in USDA zones 4 and higher. The plant is not overly picky about soil, but well-draining soil amended with compost is ideal. You can grow ground cherries in traditional bed, raised beds and containers. Just make sure any container is at least 8 inches deep to allow for the plant's fairly large root system. Full sun is preferable, but ground cherries produce with a bit of shade as well. Planting Ground Cherries Ground cherries should be started from seeds indoors, six to eight weeks before the last spring frost date in your area."

"text": "\"25 Ways to Use Tomatillos Pinterest Facebook Twitter Email By: Contributor Stephen Murello, Stephen Murello A tomatillo is a lot like a present in fruit form. You unwrap the sticky husks and are left with a super versatile, slightly sour golf-ball-size green fruit. Tomatillos are available year-round, but you can find them local and ripe at the end of the summer — the perfect time of year for endless salsas on everything from homemade tortilla chips to barbecued meat and shellfish. Store tomatillos in the fridge for up to a week with the husks still intact. When you're ready to use, peel the husks off of your tomatillos and gently rinse them (and your hands at that point) to remove the sticky residue left behind. All parts of the fruit are edible except for the husk, so you can just toss the seeds and all of that good stuff into whatever you're making. Cape gooseberries are the smaller and sweeter, but similarly husked, cousin of the tomatillo, and they also start to pop up in very limited quantities toward the end of summer and beginning of fall. Get peeling!Wow your guests with handmade olive tortillas or, if you're running short on time, buy premade tortillas for the Olive Oil Poached Shrimp with Olive Tortillas, Cumin-Scented Black Beans and Tomatillo Avocado Salsa recipe.

"text": "Fitness & Nutrition Cooking With a Mexican Favorite, the Tomatillo Recipes for Health By MARTHA ROSE SHULMAN SEPT. 13, 2010Andrew Scrivani for The New York Times If you’ve eaten salsa verde in a Mexican restaurant, you’ve eaten tomatillos. Though the name suggests that tomatillos are small green tomatoes, they are not. They’re in the same family as tomatoes but more closely related to the cape gooseberry and surrounded by a similar papery husk. Always look for tomatillos that have filled their husks, as they are not fully mature until they do. Remove the husks, then rinse the tomatillos, which will be sticky, and they’re ready to cook. Tomatillos have a rounder, fruitier and more acidic flavor and a richer texture than regular green tomatoes. I wouldn’t try to substitute one for the other. Happily it’s not difficult to find fresh tomatillos in supermarkets that stock Mexican ingredients. If you can find only canned tomatillos, an 11-ounce can be substituted for 1 pound of fresh tomatillos in this week’s recipes."

Blake Royer Profile Twitter Facebook Contact5 Printer-Friendly Version [ Photograph: Blake Royer]When I set out to make chilaquiles, I had in mind the brunch dish, a sort of tortilla and egg casserole with melted cheese. And while I found recipes for what I was looking for, I also stumbled into a fierce debate about the difference between chilaquiles and a Texas dish called migas, which I've cooked before for Dinner Tonight. The answer was that proper chilaquiles are not defined by eggs at all: The only essential ingredients are thick tortilla chips, a salsa of some kind, and cheese—a tortilla casserole. While Nick has covered Chilaquiles Rojos, I turned to this Rick Bayless recipe for the verde version, which is baked in the oven rather than finished on the stove, making it a little less attention-hungry. But the salsa alone is the real story here: charred tomatillos and onion, pulsed to a purée and loosened with rich chicken stock and Mexican crema. it is rich and gently acidic, chickeny and creamy. The result here is soul-satisfying fare, comforting and delicious.

Updated Apr 26, 2013 · Author has 2.6k answers and 12.5m answer views The premise of the Paleolithic diet is that foods that are appreciably genetically distant from those we are used to consuming may cause unexpected problems and thus tomatoes aren't ideal from a paleo perspective. Tomatoes belong to the nightshade family and many of the other foods in that family are toxic when eaten raw. When humans begin eating a foreign food, sometimes it contains things that humans are not used to consuming and it can take an extremely long time for humans to evolve to adequately handle that. We haven't been eating tomatoes enough time for that to have occurred. That helps explain why other foods in the nightshade family contains some compounds that are harmful to health. To say it another way, it takes time for evolution to allow humans to adapt to new food groups and humans have not evolved to deal with some compounds present in the nightshade family. The nightshade family contains several commonly eaten foods [1] The most famous food members of the nightshade family include potatoes (Solanum tuberosum), tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum), many species of sweet and hot peppers (all species of Capsicum, including Capsicum annum), and eggplant (Solanum melongena)."

They also contain a wide array of beneficial nutrients and antioxidants, including lycopene, folic acid, beta-carotene and lutein. Despite their good-for-you properties, some people find it difficult to tolerate the higher acid levels of tomatoes and their derivatives. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Tomato Intolerance Vs. Allergy Food allergies are an abnormal response to a food, triggered by the body’s immune system, while an intolerance is often identified by gastric discomfort and intestinal distress. Tomatoes are a cause of both food allergies and food intolerance, and they can trigger a number of nonspecific reactions. Those with food allergies to tomatoes may experience difficulty breathing, swelling of the tongue or throat and other severe symptoms. Avoid this fruit at all times if you have such a reaction. These cases of severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reactions -- known as anaphylactic shock -- require immediate medical attention or a previously prescribed injection of adrenalin. Signs of an intolerance will often be less severe and may include headache, diarrhea, a burning sensation or tightness of the skin, or asthmalike symptoms."

For clients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), these symptoms can greatly impact their quality of life. And yet 76% of those who suffer from IBS can better manage them by following a novel dietary approach that originated in Melbourne, Australia.1 Monash University researchers call this approach the low-FODMAP diet, known as fermentable oligo-, di-, and monosaccharides and polyols, a group of short-chain carbohydrates. These carbohydrates can exert luminal distention via osmotic effects and rapid fermentation, resulting in gas, pain, and diarrhea in sensitive individuals. Since the majority of IBS sufferers acknowledge symptom improvement when following the low FODMAP diet, it’s important for RDs to be proficient in providing dietary guidelines and strategies to clients to help them plan menus, grocery shop, read labels, and make healthful food choices while dining out. Research Behind FODMAPs FODMAPs are found in everyday foods, including milk and ice cream (lactose); apples, pears, honey, and watermelon (free fructose); wheat, onions, garlic, and inulin (fructans); legumes (galacto-oligosaccharides [GOS]); and prunes, sugar-free gum, and mints (polyols). FODMAPs have a cumulative impact on gastrointestinal symptoms. Individuals may tolerate small amounts, but symptoms can develop if they consume quantities that surpass their threshold."

There are many many food items you can give your ducks other than their feed/scratch/foraging. Giving your ducks treats and supplements to their diets is good for their health, and keeps things interesting for them. They appreciate something new from time to time. Treats can be given as often as daily or weekly/monthly depending your personal needs/schedule/budget. My ducks get a few treats daily, (but that's because they are spoiled rotten ) ---Whenever feeding a duck anything, make sure they have access to water for drinking, so they do not choke.--- I put *stars* next to each item to signify which treats ducks seem to like the most, based on my own experiments thus far. One Star* means this treat is not always a favorite of ducks, while five stars***** means most ducks really enjoy the treat. This however is not always the same in every duck, but rather is a guide in helping you chose which treats to experiment with. I encourage all duck owners to experiment with different treats, finding which your ducks enjoy the most."

Diarrhea may be various colors and contain mucous, blood or pus. In general diarrhea is caused by a gastrointestinal problem, but may be a symptom of some underlying ailment such as: irritable bowel syndrome, diverticular disease, bowel cancer, celiac disease, pancreatitis, hyperthyroidism, Crohn's disease, dysentery, AIDS or ulcerative colitis, among others. It is important, therefore, to discover the cause of the diarrhea. Diarrhea is one of Nature's defense systems used to help rid the body of toxins and poisons as quickly as possible. It is important to know what diarrhea does to the body besides the obvious effects. The salivary glands in the mouth, the mucous membrane in your stomach, and the liver and pancreas produce saliva which is used in the digestive process to break down food. When diarrhea strikes the saliva is lost and the digestive process is interrupted. In addition, diarrhea depletes the body of important minerals, called electrolytes, needed for good health. They are: potassium, magnesium, chloride, sodium and calcium."

Cats often gravitate toward plastic or wool, and many a dog will chew on whatever it can get its chops around. And then there are plants. Whether garden plants, houseplants, plants in the wild, or flowers from the florist–plants can provide a tasty and tempting diversion for animals, one that can be at odds with your pet’s health. In order to prevent poisoning by cut flowers or house plants, avoid placing toxic ones in your home where pets may be able to access them. Or better yet, avoid buying flowers and plants that are known to be toxic. Outside is trickier, especially if your dog or cat has a wide range to roam. For dogs, the animal science department at Cornell University suggests adding bran flakes to his food or switching her diet to one higher in vegetable fibers to deter cravings for vegetation. The only other thing to do is to watch your dog’s behavior when walking outside, and try to prevent them from munching on vegetation unless you know it is harmless. When you see symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, difficult breathing, abnormal urine, salivation, weakness, and any other abnormal condition, take your pet to the veterinarian because he may be poisoned."

Six Wise When the U. S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion compiled their Healthy Eating Index for 1999-2000, they found only a slight reason to smile. Ten percent of the population had a good diet. This was based on 10 aspects including how many servings of fruits, vegetables and meat were being consumed, along with how much sodium and cholesterol, and variety in a person's diet. The rest of their findings left something to be desired:16 percent of the population had a \"\"poor\"\" diet The rest of the population (74 percent) had a diet that \"\"needed improvement\"\"As the USDA pointed out, poor or inadequate diets are linked to four of the top 10 causes of death -- heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes. And as it turns out, most of us have less-than-ideal diets that essentially leave our bodies starving for more nutrients. Along with poor diets, studies have found that key nutrients in foods have declined from 1909 to 1994, likely because the soil is not as nutrient-dense as it once was and processing of foods degrades nutrients that do exist. So not only are we eating fewer healthy foods, but those we do eat contain fewer nutrients than they once did. As a result, many Americans -- even those who think they are eating relatively healthy -- may be suffering from a nutritional deficiency. Some of the more common ones in the United States include: Zinc Iron B vitamins Magnesium Calcium Vitamins E and C Phosphorus Vitamin D Fiber Folic Acid Essential Fatty Acids Chromium If you are experiencing any unusual health symptoms, a nutrient deficiency could be to blame. Below is a list of common and not-so-common nutrients, along with deficiency symptoms and foods you should eat if you think you need more."

These Diverticula form along the mucous membrane that lines the colon and often protrude through the muscular outer wall of the colon, or more rarely, through other regions of the large intestine. When Diverticula become infected and inflamed, Diverticulitis occurs. Many people with Diverticulosis do not experience any discomforting symptoms, but Diverticulitis with inflammation usually brings discomfort in several forms including constipation and/or diarrhea and pain as intestinal cramps in the lower left abdomen area. Lack of adequate quality water and fiber, with attendant constipation are the most common causes.

"text": "How To Prevent Tonsil Stones Without Surgery November 27, 2013 by tsr Leave a Comment If you want to know how to prevent tonsil stones you need to first learn what tonsil stones are and what causes them to show up in the first place. The medical name for this condition is known as tonsilloliths and it can be defined as being an abnormally shaped, white or yellow colored, bad smelling combination of mucus, bacteria, food particles, and other unwanted materials trapped at the back of the throat inside the tonsils. The combination of mucus, bacteria, sulphur compounds, nasal drip, and other stuff is what causes the bad breath that tonsil stones are associated with. After a while these unwanted materials inside the pockets of the tonsils begin to harden and the end result is the formation of tonsil stones. Usually these stones are small and don’t cause any serious or life threatening harm. However, there are times when the stones can grow to be very big and can become a dangerous problem. Smaller stones will cause symptoms such as discomfort or pain in the throat, pain while swallowing, earache, irritated tonsils, and more. When it comes to treatment there are a variety of things that can be done, but if the stones are small they usually don’t need to be treated. The body’s defense mechanisms will be able to remove the built up materials on its own. However, for some people this is not the case and tonsil stones prevention is necessary in order to stop the frequency of this problem."

Together, they are part of a ring of glandular tissue (Waldeyer's ring) encircling the back of the throat. The tonsils are the two masses of tissue on either side of the back of the throat. Small depressions are often found on the surface of the tonsils, called crypts. These crypts may appear deep and contain stones called tonsilliths (tonsilliths may create a foreign object sensation in the back of the throat and may also result in bad breath). The adenoids are located high in the throat behind the nose and soft palate (the roof of the mouth). Unlike tonsils, the adenoids are not easily visible through the mouth. The tonsils and adenoids are thought to assist the body in its defense against incoming bacteria and viruses by helping the body form antibodies. However, this function may only be important during the first year of life. There is no evidence to support a significant role of the tonsils and adenoids in long-term immunity."

"text": "Coughing up White Mucus For Weeks – What Could Be a Reason? Home » White Mucus »Coughing up white mucus can be alarming, but when it’s chronic and lasts for more than a few days, it can be even more unnerving. In most cases, mucus is a necessary and healthy part of biological makeup. It serves as a natural lubricant for all sorts of body processes, including those in the respiratory system, sinuses and digestive tract. But, it can also be a sign of illness and conditions like strep throat and allergies. In most cases, mucus that is related to illness comes as goes as the sickness runs its course. But, sometimes it can be persistent, lasting up to weeks at a time. It’s easy to speculate what can be the underlying cause of week after week of coughing up white mucus, but with some of the reasons being markedly apparent, while others being less obvious, it may not always be easy to tell what is causing the white mucus laden cough. The Cedars-Sinai Medical Group explains that bronchitis can be one very common cause of coughing up mucus that is white for longer than normal periods. The cough associated with the condition in many cases will start out dry before the cough begins to produce phlegm."

These two almond-shaped balls of tissue are situated towards the back of your mouth and on either side of your throat. The tonsils play an important role as part of your body's immune system, helping to fight off viral and bacterial infections before they reach the respiratory tract and other parts of the body. The tonsils contain certain cells that trap any infection entering your body. At times however, the tonsils itself may get infected by the very same germs that it works to resist. When this happens the tonsils get swollen and inflamed causing pain and discomfort. In some cases, the tonsils may show white spots covering the surface coating indicating an infection. Referred to as tonsillitis, infected tonsils can affect adults, but the condition is more prevalent in children. School-going children are especially prone to infections transmitted via the nose and mouth and tend to contract tonsillitis easily. Tonsillitis can be acute and it can recur over time and turn chronic as well."

Thankfully, there are ways to remove them and keep them from coming back. Also known as tonsilloliths, tonsil stones are small balls made up of left over food particles, bacteria, mucus, and other debris that form inside your tonsil crypts: Enlarged Tonsil Crypts Tonsil Crypts Infected With Tonsil Stones What Are Tonsil Crypts Your tonsil crypts are pretty much folds or crevices that are naturally found inside your tonsils. Depending on the person there can be anywhere from 10 to more than 20 different tonsil crypts in the tonsils. Although your tonsils themselves are designed to keep you protected against viruses and bacteria, the crypts or pockets inside them can cause dirt, left over food particles, and other debris to build up. Also, your tonsil crypts don’t get a lot of oxygen as it is so they are the perfect environment for bacteria to grow and cause an infection, inflammation, and of course more stones. Causes The formation of tonsil stones is caused by the different debris and bacteria accumulating in the tonsil crypts and calcifying (hardening). A few of the other things that can cause tonsil stones include: Prescription medicines such as high blood pressure medications that cause dry mouth as a side effect when taken can also cause tonsil stones to grow."

This is rare. Having said that, mostly people get sore throat after tonsillectomy & they mistake it for tonsillitis. Sore throat can mean infection of the back wall of the throat, or the surrounding structures of the throat! Most people confuse sore throat with tonsillitis - which may not necessarily be the case.

Tonsil stones are also known as tonsilloliths. Calcification of the tonsil crypts formed due to the concentration of fragmented remains of dead and damaged cells inside the tonsil is called Tonsillolith or Tonsil stones. They can occur in palatine tonsils and also in lingual tonsils. Tonsils contain white blood cells or lymphocytes which provide immunity to the throat by trapping foreign particles and bacteria. Sometimes this may result in the formation of a white or as it is calcified bone like debris. These are tonsil stones. The biofilm of the white or yellowish hard concretions in the tonsil is composed of calcium hydroxyproline, calcium carbonate and other minerals like phosphorus, ammonia and magnesium. They have a weight of 0.3 to 42g approximately."

Each tonsil is composed of tissue similar to lymph nodes, covered by pink mucosa (like on the adjacent mouth lining). Running through the mucosa of each tonsil are pits, called crypts. The tonsils are part of the lymphatic system, which helps to fight infections. However, removal of the tonsils does not seem to increase susceptibility to infection. Tonsils vary widely in size and swell in response to infection. What causes tonsil stones? Your tonsils are filled with nooks and crannies where bacteria and other materials, including dead cells and mucus, can become trapped. When this occurs, the debris can become concentrated in white formations that occur in the pockets. Tonsil stones, or tonsilloliths, are formed when this trapped debris hardens, or calcifies."

"text": "Dental Health How to Tell the Difference Between Tonsil Stones and Tonsillitis By Kingsley Felix Last updated Jul 27, 201711Share Tonsils were once removed through routine procedures. This is no longer the case today. Doctors no longer recommend that their colleagues remove healthy tonsils. However, researchers still agree that tonsils are among the most frustrating internal organs to deal with for most people. It may not be reasonable to perform surgery on them right away, but people who have chronic and repeated tonsillitis infections might be better off with the surgery in the long run. Tonsils essentially trap bacteria and viruses as they enter the human throat, thus preventing them from reaching the body. The tissue of tonsils contains lymphocytes, which partly enables tonsils to do their job. However, people develop problems with their tonsils far more regularly than they do with many other parts of the body. These structures might trap bacteria and viruses sometimes, but they can just as easily become infected with the very viruses and bacteria that they are trying to trap in the first place. It is possible that tonsils are just not equipped to deal with the levels of bacteria that people will encounter on a regular basis today."

The pharynx (Greek pharynx = throat; pharanx = gulf, chasm) is a cavity within the throat that serves as an air and food passage. The other main part of the throat is the larynx. Functions of the Pharynx Functions of the pharynx include:1. Swallowing When food or fluid enters the pharynx, muscle contraction — swallowing reflex — pushes it toward the esophagus. Disorders of swallowing — dysphagia — can be caused by dry mucous membrane, dry food, disorders in the pharyngeal wall, psychological reasons or neurological disorders. Touching of the soft palate or the back wall of the pharynx with the finger can trigger vomiting reflex.2. Breathing Pharynx carries air from the nose and mouth toward the larynx. Inflamed adenoids or tonsils, sudden swelling from an insect bite or allergic reaction, stuck food or detached dentures, or injury of the pharynx can all impede breathing.3. Speech Pharynx, together with the larynx, tongue and soft palate, helps to form sounds.4."

Each tonsil is composed of tissue similar to lymph nodes, covered by pink mucosa (like on the adjacent mouth lining). Running through the mucosa of each tonsil are pits, called crypts. The tonsils are part of the lymphatic system, which helps to fight infections. However, removal of the tonsils does not seem to increase susceptibility to infection. Tonsils vary widely in size and swell in response to infection. What causes tonsil stones? Your tonsils are filled with nooks and crannies where bacteria and other materials, including dead cells and mucus, can become trapped. When this occurs, the debris can become concentrated in white formations that occur in the pockets. Tonsil stones, or tonsilloliths, are formed when this trapped debris hardens, or calcifies."

"text": "\"Tonsil stones also known as tonsillolith are small white calcareous clusters that accumulate in the crypts of your tonsils. Tonsil stones can commonly be identified by the volatile sulfuric gasses that the bacteria in these whitish yellow particles produce. Individuals commonly discover tonsil stones when they experience discomfort in the back of their throat and unexpectedly cough up what appears to be a squishy white mass. Most people readily identify tonsil stones by the smell and up until the last 2 -3 years have been unable to identify what they are. ''- With the proliferation of the Internet individuals have become increasingly aware of what these white stuff on their tonsils are and how they can get rid of them. The largest roadblock in treating tonsil stones has been the lack of general knowledge by the medical community, specifically Ear Nose and Throat doctors. Most tonsil stone suffers who present these tonsil rocks to an ENT specialist commonly experience a lack of an explanation as to what causes tonsil stones. Within the last three years communities and products have developed around the growing curiosity of tonsil stones. Many digital e-books have been produced that attempt to alleviate the problems by promising cures and natural remedies made from household items. The effectiveness of information contained in these digital-books has been largely shunned by the tonsil stone community and are considered to be “scammish”."

"text": "While you may not know it, you’ve got two bodyguards in the back of your throat: your tonsils. These soft collections of tissues in the back of your throat collect and filter out unwanted bacteria and viruses in your body. But sometimes more than bacteria and viruses get caught in your tonsils — some people have extra pockets or crypts in their tonsils, which can collect food material and old cells. This condition is known as tonsil stones. Evolution of Tonsil Stones Tonsil stones are called “stones” because they are much harder than your average piece of food. However, they tend to start off softer. A piece of food, such as a small piece of bread, becomes stuck in your tonsil crypts. When you swallow, digestive enzymes in your saliva start to break down the softer portions of your food. The remaining portion is harder. The food particle in your tonsil starts to collect some “friends” over time."

They are formally known as tonsilloliths. They are objects usually made of calcium that grow and develop over time in the crypts and crevasses of the tonsils. They are usually white with a yellow hue in color and some people describe them as white spots in the throat or white spots on the tonsils. Tonsil stones are common in adults and are rare for children and babies.

"text": "Removing Tonsil Stones By Dr. Harold Katz - Bad Breath Expert Tonsil stones (also called tonsilloliths) are caused by an accumulation of sulfur-producing bacteria, fungus, dead cells, food debris, and mucus that collect in the tiny pockets/crevices (crypts) dotting the surface of the tonsils. If you have allergies, sinus issues, or ear infections, the associated fluid can drain into your tonsils, creating a buildup. Treating these health problems can help alleviate or reduce the number of tonsil stones. If tonsil stones do not cause any symptoms, they can be left alone and eventually will break down on their own. Tonsil stones can be removed using home remedies, but larger ones may require the attention of a medical professional. A key component of combatting tonsil stones is oxygenation. The bacteria and debris that cause tonsil stones are effectively reduced when subjected to sufficient levels of oxygen. Simple Home Remedies Coughing: Although a simple solution, tonsil stones can sometimes be dislodged with a few strong coughs. For added force, push the root of your tongue up and forward, as if you're trying to squeeze your tonsils. Tonsil stones smell foul, so remember to cough into a facial tissue and discard this immediately."

Tonsil stones are caused by the accumulation of sulfur-producing bacteria and debris that become lodged in your tonsils. These can also lead to bad breath, but this can be countered with good oral hygiene. Sometimes people make the drastic decision to have their tonsils taken out, which will eliminate tonsils stones, but bad breath from the tonsil area can still occur. Rather than removing one’s tonsils, it is possible to prevent tonsilloliths without surgery. Tonsil stones can be somewhat allusive. It’s possible that people that suffer from halitosis but do not know the source of their oral odor might have tonsil stones. They are not always visible, since they become logged in crypts within the tonsils. Tonsil stones are very smelly because they contain a high amount of sulfur. This smell is emitted when a person with tonsil stones breathes out from the mouth."

Tonsillitis often causes throat pain when swallowing, fever and chills, ear or jaw ache and a fever. Still, eating nutrient-rich foods that are easy to swallow is ideal to promote healing and decrease the tonsil infection. Johns Hopkins Medical Center states that children between the ages of 5 to 15 most commonly suffer from tonsillitis, but adults may also be diagnosed with the infection. Patients with frequent bouts of tonsillitis or who have difficulty breathing caused by enlarged tonsils may opt for surgical removal.

"text": "Instructor: Kat Kadian-Baumeyer Kat has a Master of Science in Organizational Leadership and Management and teaches Business courses. Substantive law and procedural law work together to ensure that in a criminal or civil case, the appropriate laws are applied and the proper procedures are followed to bring a case to trial. In this lesson, we'll discuss the differences between the two and how they relate to the legal system as a whole. Substantive Law Explained Substantive law consists of written statutory rules passed by legislature that govern how people behave. These rules, or laws, define crimes and set forth punishment. They also define our rights and responsibilities as citizens. There are elements of substantive law in both criminal and civil law. Civil law differs from criminal law in that it applies to interactions between citizens. Rather than dealing with crime, civil law deals with tort, or actions that aren't necessarily illegal but can be proven to be damaging in some way. For example, if you sue a neighbor for cutting down a tree and letting it land on your house, that would be a civil case dealing with tort rather than a criminal case dealing with crime."

Generally, criminal trials are used by the government to protect and provide relief to the generalpublic by attempting to punish an individual. Civil trials can be used by anyone to enforce, redress, or protect their legal rights through court orders and monetary awards. The two types of trials arevery different in character and thus have separate procedural rules and practices. Procedural law is distinguished from Substantive Law, which creates, defines, and regulates therights and duties of individuals.

"text": "Civil Civil justice in England and Wales Civil justice in England and Wales is mainly dealt with in the county courts and, in the case of more substantial or complex cases, the High Court. The jurisdiction covers a very wide range – from quite small or simple claims, for example damaged goods or recovery of debt, to large claims between multi-national companies. Civil cases involve hearings in open court which the public may attend, hearings in the judge’s private room from which the public are excluded, and matters decided by the judge in private but on the basis of the papers alone. Most civil disputes do not end up in court, and those that do often don’t go to a full trial. Many are dealt with through mediation (a process taking place outside a court to resolve a dispute) or by using established complaints procedures. But where a case does go through the courts, the aim is to make it as simple as possible. For smaller claims there is a speedy and cheap way of resolving disputes – through the small claims court. Judges in the civil jurisdiction do not have the power to imprison a losing party. Ordinarily, but not always, they award financial ‘damages’ to the successful party, the size of which depends on the circumstances of the claim. A judge hearing a civil case Before trying a civil case the judge reads the relevant case papers and becomes familiar with their details."

"text": "\"EXCLUSIONARY RULEThe exclusionary rule permits a criminal defendant to prevent the prosecution from introducing at trial otherwise admissible evidence that was obtained in violation of the Constitution. In a sense the term \"\"exclusionary rule\"\" is misleading, because there are many exclusionary rules. Some, such as the rule against hearsay, exclude evidence because it is not very reliable. Others, such as a rule prohibiting a witness from testifying if the calling party did not disclose the witness before trial, are sanctions for the failure to comply with a nonconstitutional rule. While every legal system excludes some evidence deemed irrelevant or untrustworthy, the constitutional exclusionary rule is unusual in rejecting highly probative evidence, often with the consequence of nullifying a meritorious prosecution. It is therefore not surprising that the exclusionary rule has occasioned sustained and sometimes bitter controversy. A simple example helps to explain both the practical operation, and the controversial nature, of the exclusionary rule. Suppose the police stop a driver for speeding, and in the course of issuing the citation they discover cocaine in the glove compartment of the car. If the defendant did not consent to the search, and if the police did not have probable cause to believe illegal drugs could be found in the glove compartment, the search would be illegal under the Fourth Amendment. To invoke the exclusionary rule the defendant would move before trial to suppress the drugs as illegally seized."

"text": "\"Differences between Civil and Criminal Law in the USACopyright 1998 by Ronald B. Standler Table of Contentsintroductionpunishmentburden of proofprotections for criminal defendantsignorance of the law is no excuse Introduction Criminal law is much better known to laymen than civil law, as a result of journalists' reports of famous criminal trials. In talking with people about law, I find that they often misapply principles from criminal law to situations in civil (e.g., tort) law, which results in their misunderstanding. They are surprised when they learn the actual legal principles that apply to a problem. The purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast criminal and civil law. In civil law, a private party (e.g., a corporation or individual person) files the lawsuit and becomes the plaintiff. In criminal law, the litigation is always filed by the government, who is called the prosecution.punishment One of the most fundamental distinctions between civil and criminal law is in the notion of punishment.criminal law In criminal law, a guilty defendant is punished by either (1) incarceration in a jail or prison, (2) fine paid to the government, or, in exceptional cases, (3) execution of the defendant: the death penalty. Crimes are divided into two broad classes: felonies have a maximum possible sentence of more than one year incarceration, misdemeanors have a maximum possible sentence of less than one year incarceration.civil law In contrast, a defendant in civil litigation is never incarcerated and never executed. In general, a losing defendant in civil litigation only reimburses the plaintiff for losses caused by the defendant's behavior. So-called punitive damages are never awarded in a civil case under contract law. In a civil case under tort law, there is a possibility of punitive damages, if the defendant's conduct is egregious and had either (1) a malicious intent (i.e., desire to cause harm), (2) gross negligence (i.e., conscious indifference), or (3) a willful disregard for the rights of others."

[ 1]In Anglo-American jurisdictions the term is most commonly used to refer to a type of tort lawsuit in which the person bringing the suit, or \"\"plaintiff,\"\" has suffered harm to his or her body or mind. Personal injury lawsuits are filed against the person or entity that caused the harm through negligence, gross negligence, reckless conduct, or intentional misconduct, and in some cases on the basis of strict liability. [ 2] [3] Different jurisdictions describe the damages (or, the things for which the injured person may be compensated) in different ways, but damages typically include the injured person's medical bills, pain and suffering, and diminished quality of life.

The term personal injury also incorporates medical and dental accidents (which may lead to medical negligence claims ) and conditions that are often classified as industrial disease cases, including asbestosis and peritoneal mesothelioma, chest diseases (e.g., emphysema, pneumoconiosis, silicosis, chronic bronchitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and chronic obstructive airways disease), vibration white finger, occupational deafness, occupational stress, contact dermatitis, and repetitive strain injury cases. Of these, the most common are automobile collisions. [ 5] Personal injury cases may also include toxic torts, in which a contaminant transmitted by air or water causes illness, injury, or death (as in John Grisham 's book, A Civil Action ). Some non-economical damages such as pain and suffering attributed to the damages, like for example having anxiety after a car accident, may be attributed to general damages that can be proved in court and may be entitled to monetary means of compensation. There are other torts, both intentional and non-intentional, that may be pursued and or mixed with personal injury."

"text": "\"Summary offence From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A summary offence is a crime in some common law jurisdictions that can be proceeded against summarily, without the right to a jury trial and/or indictment (required for an indictable offence ). Contents [ hide ]1 Canada1.1 Summary conviction offences1.2 Indictable offences2 Hong Kong3 United Kingdom4 United States5 See also6 References Canada [ edit]In Canada, summary offences are referred to as summary conviction offences. [ 1] As in other jurisdictions, summary conviction offences are considered less serious than indictable offences because they are punishable by shorter prison sentences and smaller fines. These offences appear both in the federal laws of Canada and in the legislation of Canada's provinces and territories. For summary conviction offences that fall under the jurisdiction of the federal government (which includes all criminal law ), section 787 of the Criminal Code specifies that, unless another punishment is provided for by law, the maximum penalty for a summary conviction offence is a sentence of 6 months of imprisonment, a fine of $5,000 or both. As a matter of practical effect, some common differences between summary conviction and indictable offences are provided below. Summary conviction offences [ edit]Accused must be charged with a summary conviction within 6 months after the act happened. Limitation periods are set out in the Criminal Code. The police can arrest under summary conviction without an arrest warrant if found committing a summary offence notwithstanding s. 495 (2) (c) of the Criminal Code. [ 2]If the police do not find committing a summary offence, an arrest warrant is required."

"text": "When someone intentionally injuries a person or interferes with a person’s property, an intentional tort has been committed. An intentional tort differs from an unintentional tort in that the perpetrator of an intentional tort intends to bring about a specific result or consequence. If Sam deliberately swings a stick at Joe and hits him in the head giving him a concussion, an intentional tort has occurred. An intentional tort also has to cause injury. If your neighbour spreads a false rumour that you are using your basement as headquarters for drug dealing, for example, and as a result, you are asked to resign from your coaching position on the local basketball team, your reputation has been damaged and an injury has taken place. Intentional Interference with the Person One of the largest categories of intentional torts is known as “intentional interference with the person” and it includes offences such as assault, battery, medical battery, false imprisonment, and malicious prosecution. When we hear the word assault, we tend to think of a harmful physical act. In tort law, however, the plaintiff simply has to prove that the defendant threatened harm, the plaintiff believed the threat was genuine, and the defendant could have carried out the threat. Assault is often followed by battery, the intentional touching of someone without that person’s consent. The touching doesn’t have to injury anyone, but it has to offend the person in some way."

"text": "\"trespass Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Financial, Idioms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia . Trespass An unlawful intrusion that interferes with one's person or property. Tort Law originated in England with the action of trespass. Initially trespass was any wrongfulconduct directly causing injury or loss; in modern law trespass is an unauthorized entry upon land. A trespass gives the aggrieved party the right to bring a civil lawsuit and collect damages as compensation for the interference and for any harm suffered. Trespass is an intentional tort and, in some circumstances, can be punished as a crime. Common-Law Form of Action Trespass is one of the ancient Forms of Action that arose under the Common Law of England as early as the thirteenth century. It was considered a breach of the king's peace for which thewrongdoer might be summoned before the king's court to respond in a civil proceeding for the harmcaused. Because the king's courts were primarily interested in land ownership disputes, the morepersonal action of trespass developed slowly at first. Around the middle of the fourteenth century, the clerks of the king's courts began routinely giving outwrits that permitted a plaintiff to begin a trespass action."

What Is the Difference Between Criminal Law and Civil Law? What Are the Two Main Functions of Criminal Law? Full Answer Some of the key differences between tort and criminal cases include: While criminal cases require the defendant to prove they are innocent, tort cases require the victim to prove the defendant's action resulted in their injury or wrong. Although criminal defendants are guaranteed trial by jury, this is not always the case for tort defendants. Tort derives from common law that passes down from generation to generation with small alterations, whereas criminal law derives from statutes."

[ 2] The area of tort law known as negligence involves harm caused by failing to act as a form of carelessness possibly with extenuating circumstances. The core concept of negligence is that people should exercise reasonable care in their actions, by taking account of the potential harm that they might foreseeably cause to other people or property. [ 3]Someone who suffers loss caused by another's negligence may be able to sue for damages to compensate for their harm. Such loss may include physical injury, harm to property, psychiatric illness, or economic loss. The law on negligence may be assessed in general terms according to a five-part model which includes the assessment of duty, breach, actual cause, proximate cause, and damages.

Patric Schneider, Freelance Image 1 of 3Sixth-grade students from Lanier Middle School arrive Friday at George Bush Intercontinental Airport for a flight to Washington, D. C. The group's White House tour had to be canceled due to sequester cuts. Students and parents at Houston ISD's Lanier Middle School were thrilled about their chance to visit the White House and learn firsthand how the government operates. The students boarded planes for Washington on Friday after having learned a more painful lesson. Their White House tour was scrapped, a victim of federal budget cuts stemming from the sequester. \"\" Our kids are learning a terrible lesson in civics,\"\" said Heather O'Connor, whose 12-year-old son was one of the 80 students who had been scheduled to visit the White House early Saturday. \"\" This is extremely disappointing. \"\" An email from the White House Visitor's Office on Tuesday announced that all White House tours had been canceled effective Saturday, just as many schools start their spring break. The email cited staffing cuts resulting from the sequester - automatic federal spending reductions triggered by the lack of a budget agreement between Congress and President Barack Obama. Parents from Lanier applied for the tour six months in advance. Lanier, scheduled for the earliest tour time of 7:30 a.m. Saturday, will be the first school affected by the cancellations."

The gem which was given to Taylor by Richard Burton as a 40h birthday present sold for $8.8 million in December 2011 at an auction of her jewelry collection in New York. However, according to People magazine on Thursday, the auction house subsequently canceled the sale at the buyer's request and asked for the money back and Taylor's estate refused. Scroll down for video+7Symbol of love: Taylor had the 17th century heart-shaped gem placed on a gold necklace with rubies and diamonds. It was a gift from her fifth husband Richard Burton+7Disputed diamond: The Taj Mahal diamond pendant belonging to Elizabeth Taylor sold for $8.8 million at auction in 2011. Christie's auction house later canceled the sale because the buyer claimed there was no proof it belonged to the emperor who built the Taj Mahal in India The Taj Mahal diamond got its name because ti was believed it had belonged to Shah Jahan who commissioned the Taj Mahal monument in Agra in India. In presenting it to Taylor in 1972, Burton famously quipped: 'I would have liked to buy her the Taj-Mahal but it would cost too much to transport. ' The heart-shaped diamond pendant on a 20th century Cartier gold neckchain set with rubies and diamonds was expected to fetch between $300,000 and $500,000 at auction but an anonymous buyer ended up bidding more than 20 times its estimated value. However, People, quoting the LA Times, reported that the buyer later asked for a refund alleging the jewel hadn't actually belonged to a Mughal emperor. Taylor's estate responded by claiming the sale cancellation violated Christie's own policies and that the auction house never guaranteed the diamond's age or Mughal origins."

On Friday’s “Happening Now,” Lee pressed Carney about the issue. “The White House is going to be open for the Easter Egg Roll for families, for Congress,but not open for families that are just, you know, regular families out there that want to visit the White House,” she said. “Well actually Jenna, again, if you did a little reporting, you’d know that the Easter Egg Roll is open to a lot of military families,” Carney shot back. “ It’s paid for by the sale of those eggs that come out, as well as from donations on the outside. It’s a totally different budget. These are apples and oranges. ”“As a member of a military family, I appreciate that military families are invited to that Easter Egg Roll,” Lee replied."

Thinking nothing of it, he carried on with everyday life, not realising something more sinister was afoot - until a chance meeting with his postman. John, 52, said: 'I was walking down the street and bumped into my postman, who asked what I was doing there. Whoops! Royal Mail blunders allowed meant mail got into the wrong hands'He told me he thought I had moved as all my post was being redirected to an address in North London. I was completely taken aback. I had no idea what was happening. ' Unfortunately for John, he was soon to find out he had become the latest victim of a multi-million-pound fraud that has hit thousands of people across the UK.

So given the choice of staying at home for two weeks or getting on the big Airbus 380 double decker with the bottomless bar we decided to go. “ Quack” Fourteen hours later we land in Sydney with five hundred other pilgrims and wait in the rain for the promoter. “ Wiggle” Two hours later a big van arrives and we load up our gear and check in to a very nice hotel in the middle of the city with rooms overlooking the famous harbor with the bridge and magnificent opera house. We have a band promoter production meeting over lunch and discuss logistics equipment and promotion all the while there is national coverage of Justin Bieber all over the TV right above the mash potato. At this point everything seems fine. I’m not one to pass judgement on someone’s looks and their ability to perform a function but their shades of the movie ‘The hangover’ in the promoter and his partner but no worries as they say down under. Later that evening we’re invited to dinner to meet the eight members of our crew who all turned out to be very nice and quite enthusiastic about the tour so nice in fact me, Scotty and Stacey decided we’d travel on the coach down to Melbourne leaving later that night rather than sensibly taking an early flight out the next morning. So we rush back to the hotel and repack our cases and wait for the bus to pick us up from the hotel."

SHEAR and PETER BAKER MAY 29, 2013Air Force One, shown preparing to depart for Chicago on Wednesday, costs $179,750 per hour to operate. Jose Luis Magana/Associated Press CHICAGO — Perhaps it is nothing more than an accident of timing that as federal workers brace for a summer filled with unpaid furlough days, their leaders are traveling the nation and globe on trips that exude luxury. On Wednesday, President Obama left the White House for two Chicago fund-raisers in the hope of helping Democrats retake the House in next year’s elections. The cost of flying aboard Air Force One to his hometown: $180,000 per hour. The same day, Michelle Obama traveled to Massachusetts to lunch with rich donors who had paid up to $37,600 per ticket at the Taj Boston Hotel. The meal included roasted Chilean sea bass with a fricassee of asparagus. Meanwhile, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his wife, Jill, were in Rio de Janeiro, part of a six-day swing through Latin America to discuss trade and investment, including a stop in Trinidad and Tobago. “We’ve got kind of an Obama cabal in this room,” the president joked Wednesday night during a $32,400-per-couple fund-raiser with about 70 of his friends at the home of Bettylu and Paul Saltzman, longtime supporters. He said returning to Chicago for the day was like “Old Home Week. ”For a leader presiding over automatic budget cuts and a slow-moving economic recovery, there are growing political costs to presidential travel."

An NBC insider tells Dailymail.com that the plan is for the former Fox News darling to get her own hour of morning television that would not fall under the Today show brand, would be a new brand, and would cancel the fourth hour of it altogether. The news comes on the heels of Tamron Hall abruptly leaving the network, refusing an offer of over $2million a year, after Today cancelled her 9 am hour with Al Roker. Kathie Lee and Hoda are expected to move to 9 am from 10, and the 10 am hour could be cancelled. The news of their cancellation was announced to Roker and Hall on same day it was confirmed that they had beaten Live Kelly in the key demo for the month of January, according to an insider.+5More changes: Al Roker (right with Jenna Bush Hager) is said to be furious his co-anchor from 9-10am Tamron Hall (left) has apparently been forced out despite a new $2m package Tamron Hall goes out with friends after quitting her NBC job Loaded Progress 0:00/0:00And they had won they key demo for eight straight weeks when Today decided to inform them of the Kelly news.

' Al's upset because it's his friend, but he's also upset because he lost the show. And this is the second time the network has done this to him,' a network source told Dailymail.com.

Since June 2015, it has consisted of guitarist Steve Howe, drummer Alan White, keyboardist Geoff Downes, singer Jon Davison, and bassist Billy Sherwood, with no remaining founding members. Yes have explored several musical styles over the years, and are most notably regarded as progressive rock pioneers. Yes began in 1968, performing original songs and rearranged covers of rock, pop, blues and jazz songs, as evident on their first two albums. A change of direction in 1970 led to a series of successful progressive rock albums until their disbanding in 1981, their most successful being The Yes Album (1971), Fragile (1971) and Close to the Edge (1972). Yes toured as a major rock act that earned the band a reputation for their elaborate stage sets, light displays, and album covers designed by Roger Dean."

"text": "\"President Obama and older daughter Malia step off Air Force One last month outside Washington. ( Mandel Ngan / AFP/ Getty Images)Malia Obama will take a gap year after graduating from high school and then attend Harvard University in the fall of 2017, the White House said Sunday, a decision that frees her from the scrutiny of arriving on campus while her father is still president. Obama, 17, the older of the president's two daughters, visited more than a dozen schools, including Stanford, Yale and Columbia, before making her decision. The White House did not say what she would spend her gap year doing, and an official familiar with the situation said she is still considering her options. A Harvard spokeswoman confirmed Malia had been admitted beginning in 2017. Students who take a gap year after high school typically use the time to travel overseas, volunteer, work or explore special interests. It's a well-regarded way to catch one's breath before four or more years of university study, and a detour that Harvard and other top universities encourage. In Malia’s case, waiting to start college until her father is out of office could mean more privacy for her. The tall, poised teenager will be one of the most famous members of her class — and a standout for the Secret Service agents who will be in tow, even after her father leaves office in January of 2017. The older Obama daughter was 10 when he took the highest office in the land."

The Changing of the Guard is a formal ceremony in which a group of soldiers is relieved of their duties by a new batch of soldiers. The Queen’s Guard soldiers actually work in shifts of 2 hours each, which means new guards begin their shift every 2 hours. When we talking about The Changing of the Guard, we are referring to the replacement of the entire group (who have been sharing the 2-hour shifts between them) with a new group of soldiers, who will then take it in turn to work their own 2-hour shifts. Although guards technically change every 2 hours, it is the changing of each larger group that is referred to when discussing the Changing of the Guard and it is only during this change that guests will see the marching band, parade, etc."

[ 1]The White Stripes used a low-fidelity approach to writing and recording. Their music featured a melding of garage rock and blues influences and a raw simplicity of composition, arrangement, and performance.

But a network spokesman confirmed the program has been shelved and will not air at all on HLN, Variety reports. However, Telepictures, who produced ‘Heads Up!’ with De Generes’ A Very Good Production company, could find a home for the show somewhere else.

"text": "\"This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( June 2010) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)In comics, a trade paperback (often shortened to trade) is a collection of stories originally published in comic books, reprinted in book format, usually capturing one story arc from a single title or a series of stories with a connected story arc or common theme. Traditionally, a trade paperback will reproduce the stories at the same size as they were originally presented in comic book format. However, certain trades have been published in a smaller, \"\" digest-sized \"\" format, similar in size to a paperback novel. Other works (usually material likely to sell well) are published in a larger -than-original hardcover format. Many comics collections are published in hardcover (or in both formats). The bulk of this article applies to both paperback and hardcover collections. In the comics industry, the term \"\"trade paperback market\"\" can be casually used to refer to the market for any collection, regardless of actual cover."

Paperback bindings for the One-Click Black/White Suites, Ultimate, Basic, and Economy packages are perfect bound and must be at least 18 pages in length at the time of publication. If your book is shorter than that, there are ways to make it long enough and your author rep will help you with that. Paperback bindings for the One-Click Chidren's Suite and the Full-Color are perfect bound for books of at least 24 pages with standard color interior paper, and at least 18 pages for standard color interior paper. Full-Color books between 4 pages in length and 23 pages in length are saddle-stitched (maximum up to 47 pages) and available only with standard color paper in select trim sizes. Perfect bound paperbacks are the most common binding of books found in stores and libraries and for that reason we do not offer alternate forms of bindings like coil bindings (bookstores dislike them). The pages of a perfect bound book are held together within the cover with a strong adhesive. Saddle-stitched bindings are common for children's books with few pages, and are held together with two strong staples along the spine."

"text": "Publishers and Imprints Posted by Ashley7th October, 2013Books Bitchin' Book Blog, Imprints, Publishers, Publishing Companies Hi, Ashley!Do you know of a really good list of publishers and their imprints? I’m a little OCD (lol, self-diagnosed) and like to sub-categorize my publishers—but sometimes it gets really confusing. Going to the publishers websites usually helps but not always—for example: Little, Brown and Company looks like it is it’s own entity, but Little, Brown Books for Young Readers is an imprint of Hachette Book Group—when I dig further, I find that Little, Brown and Company IS under the Hachette Group umbrella. As I said, it’s confusing at times!Is there an easier way to do this? Or a site that lays them all out there in flowchart? LOL!Thanks!Bree Hi Bree!Unfortunately I don’t know of a good website or flow chart, but I can at least tell you how I deal with this and maybe it will help you!I usually have a three-step process, which I tie into how I format book reviews. My book reviews always contain a link to Goodreads and Amazon, so that’s what I do first. Step #1: Check Goodreads As you probably know, Goodreads won’t tell you who the “parent” publisher is, but that’s where I get the original imprint name. It’s just my starting point. While I’m at Goodreads, I paste the page URL into my book reviews."

"text": "How To Determine The Ideal Trim Size For Your Book Published by Book Fuel at January 28, 2015 Categories Tags When a professional designs the interior of a book, they make dozens of choices. This is what sets true designers apart from hobbyists—a sense of intentionality instead of making arbitrary choices. The trim size of a book may affect those design choices more than anything else. Most authors choose a trim size just because they’ve got an idea in their head of how they want their book to look, and that’s not all that bad. You can do better, though. Before we even start, we encourage you to grab a ruler and pull a few books off of your shelves. Measure them. Get a feel for what the trim sizes we’ll be talking about actually look and feel like. What is Trim Size? When a book is printed, the pages are slightly larger than their final size."

An Imposing Story Page imposition is a system used by printers to save paper when printing. Printing pages in the way that we read them (one page at a time) would be quite wasteful. Instead, book printers print pages in sets of 16 or 32 (or 4 or 8). However, instead of using readers' spreads (with pages 2 and 3 together), they use printers' spreads, so that when the pages are folded, cut and collated they form a conventional book layout. If you are printing a book or booklet yourself, it is useful to know how this works. Printers' spreads start with the first and last pages together and end with the middle pages together."

Marvel had previously used the name for a Western character whose name was later changed to Phantom Rider. The first supernatural Ghost Rider is stunt motorcyclist Johnny Blaze, who, in order to save the life of his father, agreed to give his soul to \"\" Satan \"\" (later revealed to be an arch-demon named Mephisto ). At night and when around evil, Blaze finds his flesh consumed by hellfire, causing his head to become a flaming skull. He rides a fiery motorcycle and wields blasts of hellfire from his body, usually from his skeletal hands. He eventually learns he has been bonded with the demon Zarathos."

"text": "\"Humanities ›Geography Coriolis Effect An Overview of the Coriolis Effect Share Flipboard Email Print Pilots need to correct their flight path based on the earth rotating under the airplane, which is the Coriolis effect. Chris Thomaidis/Getty Imagesby Amanda Briney, Contributing Writer Updated March 06, 2017The Coriolis effect (also called the Coriolis force) is defined as the apparent deflection of objects (such as airplanes, wind, missiles, and ocean currents) moving in a straight path relative to the earth's surface. Its strength is proportional to the speed of the earth's rotation at different latitudes but it has an impact on moving objects across the globe. The \"\"apparent\"\" portion of the Coriolis effect's definition is also important to take into consideration. This means that from the object in the air (i.e an airplane) the earth can be seen rotating slowly below it. From the earth's surface that same object appears to curve off of its course. The object is not actually moving off of its course but this just appears to be happening because the earth’s surface is rotating beneath the object. Causes of the Coriolis Effect The main cause of the Coriolis effect is the earth's rotation. As the earth spins in a counter-clockwise direction on its axis anything flying or flowing over a long distance above its surface is deflected. This occurs because as something moves freely above the earth's surface, the earth is moving east under the object at a faster speed."

"text": "Teacher Site Map Earth Systems Science Core Science H ome P age USOEHow Does Earth's Spinning Affect Wind And Ocean Patterns? If Earth did not rotate on its axis, winds would blow from the north toward the south and from the south toward the north. A straight line, as drawn from the equator towards the north pole or from the north pole to the equator, as indicated in the example to the left, models this kind of wind direction. As you probably already know, the earth rotates on its axis from west to east. This rotation causes both the wind and ocean currents to move from east to west. Thus, the wind movement and ocean currents in the northern hemisphere goes clockwise and counter clockwise in the southern hemisphere. Because Earth rotates on its axis from west towards the east, air near the surface from the tropics is moved toward a westerly direction (toward the right as it is often called) in the northern hemisphere. Notice the difference between the lines drawn when the globe did not move (shown with arrow heads) and the lines which were drawn as Earth rotated. T he Coriolis Effect also causes ocean surface currents to be deflected to the right of the winds. At the equator, there is no Coriolis Effect so there is very little to no deflection."

"text": "Science & Mathematics Earth Sciences & Geology What is the Coriolis Effect?can someone explain in a simple way and detailed way Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Coriolis effect is caused by an apparent force brought about by the rotation of the earth. This is further explained below. Consider the hot air which rises in the tropics and spreads north and south towards the poles. Because of the earth's rotation,the air does not travel in a straight line but is deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere. This is called the coriolis effect. This coriolis force varies with latitude and wind speed. It is maximum at the poles and zero at the equator. This force can be illustrated as follows. Start rotating a turn table (like that of a gramaphone). With a ruler and chalk piece,quickly draw a straight line from centre to the circumference."

Twenty minutes and 200 yards later, Simon read out a question from a listener whose five year-old daughter had asked \"\"What would be different if the Earth spun the other way?\"\" Easy, I thought - everything would travel the other way across the sky and we would greet the sun from the west every morning. My smugness lasted until Chiswick, when I realised I'd forgotten the little matter of Coriolis. The Coriolis effect transfers the spin of the earth into the circular motion of winds around a weather system. Storms spin anti-clockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the south. Reverse the rotation of the Earth and you put the storms into reverse too. Interesting, but apart from confused weather forecasters I couldn't imagine a huge impact. Reaching the M4, the pace of traffic is picking up to a gentle jog and this seemingly simple question is quickening my thought processes too."

"text": "Full Answer Elevation refers to the distance above or below sea level. The higher the elevation of a region, the colder it is. Even a location near the equator, such as Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa, can have cold temperatures if its elevation is high enough. Latitude refers to distance from the equator. The equator and tropical areas get more direct sunlight than areas to the north or south. The more direct sunlight received, the warmer the climate, which is why the poles are colder than the equator. Warm air rising in the tropics causes cool air to be drawn from the surrounding areas, creating trade winds that blow in subtropical regions. Some of the air mass is drawn away from the equator toward the poles. These air masses create winds that help set weather patterns and determine a location's climate. Earth’s rotation, surface winds and the Coriolis force create the surface currents of oceans."

"text": "Coriolis effect The Coriolis effect causes a deflection in global wind patterns. The anticlockwise rotation of the Earth deflects winds to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere. What is the Coriolis effect? The Earth's rotation means that we experience an apparent force known as the Coriolis force. This deflects the direction of the wind to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere. This is why the wind-flow around low and high-pressure systems circulates in opposing directions in each hemisphere. The Coriolis effect was described by the 19th-century French physicist and mathematician Gustave-Gaspard de Coriolis in 1835. He formulated theories of fluid dynamics through studying waterwheels, and realized the same theories could be applied to the motion of fluids on the surface of the Earth. The Coriolis effect in action One of the most common examples of the Coriolis effect in action is seen through the deflection of winds on Earth. Another example of the Coriolis effect can be demonstrated by looking at a typical playground roundabout."

Centuries ago the local residents named this annual event El Ni�o (span. \"\" the child\"\") based on Christian theology that assigned this period of the year the name-giving Christmas season. Normally, these warm countercurrents last for at most a few weeks when they again give way to the cold Peruvian flow. However, every three to seven years, this countercurrent is unusually warm and strong. Accompanying this event is a pool of warm, ocean surface water in the central and eastern Pacific. El Ni�o has made frequent appearances over the last century, with particularly severe consequences in 1891, 1925, 1953, 1972, 1982, 1986, 1992, 1993, and 1997. Today, scientists use the term El Ni�o for these episodes of ocean warming that originally bore that name. In order to understand the complex interaction that contributes to the phenomenon known as El Ni�o, several crucial factors have to be viewed at in more details. Fig.1 Video of El-Ni�o event '97/98 (740k B)Forces Causing Surface Currents The southeast trade winds move the surface water to the left of the wind and westward, forming the South Equatorial current (fig.2 - center & bottom scan)."

"text": "The Coriolis Effect in Action Prev NEXTAlthough the Coriolis effect doesn't determine the direction of toilet flushes or knuckle balls, it does have a significant impact on weather patterns. If you've ever watched The Weather Channel, you've probably noticed all those arrows swirling around the meteorologist's map to indicate wind direction. The direction those arrows are pointing toward is largely determined by the Coriolis effect. If the Earth didn't rotate, winds would travel either north or south due to differences in temperature and pressure at different latitudes. But since the Earth does rotate, the Coriolis force deflects these winds to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemisphere, this deflection causes the wind flow around high pressure systems to go clockwise while flow around low-pressure systems travels counterclockwise. Imagine a low-pressure system as a vacuum that sucks all the surrounding air straight towards it, creating many vectors of wind that all focus on one spot. Because of the Coriolis effect, each of these vectors gets twisted to the right, which in turn creates a counterclockwise flow. With a high-pressure system, air gets forced outward and the Earth's eastward spin creates a clockwise flow. In the Southern Hemisphere, the opposite takes place: Wind around low-pressure systems circles clockwise while wind around high-pressure systems circles counterclockwise."

"text": "Introduction Wind can be defined simply as air in motion. This motion can be in any direction, but in most cases the horizontal component of wind flow greatly exceeds the flow that occurs vertically. The speed of wind varies from absolute calm to speeds as high as 380 kilometers per hour (Mt. Washington, New Hampshire, April 12, 1934). In 1894, strong winds in Nebraska pushed six fully loaded coal cars over 160 kilometers in just over three hours. Over short periods of time surface winds can be quite variable. Wind develops as a result of spatial differences in atmospheric pressure. Generally, these differences occur because of uneven absorption of solar radiation at the Earth's surface ( Figure 7n-1 ). Wind speed tends to be at its greatest during the daytime when the greatest spatial extremes in atmospheric temperature and pressure exist. Figure 7n-1: Formation of wind as a result of localized temperature differences. Wind is often described by two characteristics: wind speed and wind direction."

"text": "\"Unit 2: Atmosphere // Section 6: Atmospheric Circulation Patterns Jump to a section: 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 // 10 //Atmospheric circulation is set up when mass moves in the atmosphere. This motion may be vertical, as when warm air rises and becomes buoyant. It can also be horizontal: wind is created by air moving from high pressure areas, where air is densely compressed, to low-pressure areas, where air is less dense, although horizontal winds follow curved trajectories due to the rotation of the earth (see below). Atmospheric forces cause the air to move, modifying the difference in pressure. On a weather map, pressure differences are demarcated by parallel lines called isobars that show changes in pressure, usually in increments of 2 to 4 millibars. Sea breezes show how vertical and horizontal movements combine to modify temperature and pressure at a local level. During the day coastal land regions heat up more than the sea because land warms more quickly than water. Air over the land is thus warmed and rises, increasing pressure in the atmosphere above the surface, where it starts to cool and form clouds. It then flows at altitude from the area of high pressure over land to lower pressure over the sea. Because there is then less mass over the land and more over the sea, pressure at the surface is higher at sea, so air flows in from the sea to the land."

"text": "Flight Environment PREVAILING WINDSHEMISPHERIC PREVAILING WINDSSince the atmosphere is fixed to the earth by gravity and rotates with the earth, there would be no circulation if some force did not upset the atmosphere's equilibrium. The heating of the earth's surface by the sun is the force responsible for creating the circulation that does exist. Because of the curvature of the earth, the most direct rays of the sun strike the earth in the vicinity of the equator resulting in the greatest concentration of heat, the largest possible amount of radiation, and the maximum heating of the atmosphere in this area of the earth. At the same time, the sun's rays strike the earth at the poles at a very oblique angle, resulting in a much lower concentration of heat and much less radiation so that there is, in fact, very little heating of the atmosphere over the poles and consequently very cold temperatures. Cold air, being more dense, sinks and hot air, being less dense, rises. Consequently, the rising warm air at the equator becomes even less dense as it rises and its pressure decreases. An area of low pressure, therefore, exists over the equator. Warm air rises until it reaches a certain height at which it starts to spill over into surrounding areas. At the poles, the cold dense air sinks. Air from the upper levels of the atmosphere flows in on top of it increasing the weight and creating an area of high pressure at the poles."

The Coriolis force applies to movement on rotating objects. It is determined by the mass of the object and the object's rate of rotation. The Coriolis force is perpendicular to the object's axis. The Earth spins on its axis from west to east. The Coriolis force, therefore, acts in a north-south direction. The Coriolis force is zero at the Equator. Though the Coriolis force is useful in mathematical equations, there is actually no physical force involved. Instead, it is just the ground moving at a different speed than an object in the air."

Nelson The Ocean-Atmosphere System This document last updated on 14-Nov-2016The Ocean-Atmosphere System The oceans and the atmosphere are the two large reservoirs of water in the Earth's hydrologic cycle. The two systems are complexly linked to one another and are responsible for Earth's weather and climate. The oceans help to regulate temperature in the lower part of the atmosphere. The atmosphere is in large part responsible for the circulation of ocean water through waves and currents. In this section we first look at how the atmosphere controls weather and climate, and we will explore some the introductory material necessary to understand our upcoming lectures on severe weather. Weather and Climate Weather is the condition of the atmosphere at a particular time and place. It refers to such conditions of the local atmosphere as temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity (the amount of water contained in the atmosphere), precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, & hail), and wind velocity. Because the amount of heat in the atmosphere varies with location above the Earth's surface, and because differing amounts of heat in different parts of the atmosphere control atmospheric circulation, the atmosphere is in constant motion. Thus, weather is continually changing in a complex and dynamic manner."

At only $15, it easily drank like a wine costing twice as much if not more. So I went back to the Trader Joe’s Wine Section with the idea that I would stock up on this screaming Spring Mountain Cabernet value only to find that it had already sold out completely!Apparently the Trader Joe’s wine experience is more similar to that of Shopping for Wine at Costco than I had imagined… So having learned my lesson and not wanting to leave empty handed, I decided to try the Trader Joe’s Grand Reserve Meritage Napa Valley 2011. Appearance: Very dark and nearly opaque at the core. It turns a vivid ruby red at the rim and has good legs. Nose: There are perfumed aromas of raspberries, cherries, plums and blackberries along with notes of incense, spice and toasty cedar. On the palate: The Trader Joe’s Grand Reserve Meritage is medium-bodied with a polished, sophisticated mouthfeel. At it’s core it is soft and spicy with liqueur-like red and black fruits and coffee flavors. It benefits from a lingering, smooth finish with just a hint of supple tannin.

"text": "Uncategorized Which Brand of Stevia is Best (Not Bitter)? The Stevia Story and Ultimate Taste Test Comparison This post contains affiliate links. Last year, I sent out an email to everyone who had purchased the cookbook to see which stevia extract was the best-tasting, least bitter product out of the vast array that’s currently on the market. You guys kept sending in emails with suggestions for different brands of stevia to try, so I went out and bought them all! I tested 11 different stevia extracts, and now I feel like a crazy cat lady, only with bottles of white powder in place of fluffy, adorable balls of fur. Why did I undertake this expensive and time-consuming experiment? Because I didn’t want you guys to deal with the frustrating experience of buying and trying a multitude of stevias in hopes of finding one that wasn’t bitter. Quitting sugar is one of the most difficult yet transformative journeys to undertake, and the right sugar-free sweetener can make or break that experience . You might still be wondering what all the fuss is about stevia. Why go to all the trouble of finding a good stevia as opposed to just using another sugar-free sweetener?"

She aspires to be a travel writer. While there is something deeply gratifying about the sweet, creaminess of peanut butter (unless you lean crunchy), and the way that it often sticks to the roof of the mouth, studies demonstrate, it might be time to switch the nut. Almond butter, which also comes creamy or crunchy, offers more on a strictly nutritional basis. Raw Almonds (courtesy of Hopkins AG)BATTLE OF THE NUTS: The spreads compared What they share: Both butters are rich in protein (about 7-8 grams per 2T serving), fiber and fatty acids and have the same amount of fat (16 grams) and calories (190) per 2 tablespoons. They also have about the same amount of carbohydrates. Almond butter takes the lead: Almond butter has 26% more Vitamin E, 3% more Iron, and 7% more Calcium than peanut butter.

"text": "\"Recent Naval Academy graduate Ensign Ali Marberry publicly transitioned to female and came out to her commanding officers. She has been waiting for a change in U. S. military policy that would allow her to continue to serve. ( Joshua Mc Kerrow / Capital Gazette)The Pentagon on Thursday lifted a long-standing ban against transgender men and women serving openly in the military, removing one of its last discriminatory hurdles and placing gender identity on par with race, religion, color, sex and sexual orientation. The announcement by Defense Secretary Ashton Carter is part of a fundamental shift in the straight-laced, male-dominated U. S. military, which in 2011 ended discrimination against gays and lesbians. More recently, it opened all combat positions to women and appointed the first openly gay Secretary of the Army, Eric K. Fanning. \"\" Our mission is to defend this country, and we don't want barriers unrelated to a person's qualification to serve preventing us from recruiting or retaining the soldier, sailor, airman or Marine who can best accomplish the mission,\"\" Carter said. \"\" We have to have access to 100% of America's population for our all-volunteer force to be able to recruit from among them the most highly qualified — and to retain them. \"\" Ending the transgender ban, which followed an extensive one-year review, will affect a small fraction of individuals serving in the armed forces, or about 0.1% of the approximately 2 million active and reserve members in the U. S military. Still the social and political ramifications are likely to be felt more broadly. The military has often been a trailblazer in taking steps against discrimination, most notably ending segregation of African Americans in the 1940s."

Subscribe to our free newsletters. The number of transgender Americans may be twice as big as we thought. According to a new analysis of state and federal data, an estimated 1.4 million adults in the United States, or 0.6 percent of the total population, identify with a gender that does not match their birth sex. The analysis by the Williams Institute at UCLA comes as policymakers increasingly consider questions of transgender rights in schools, workplaces, and the military. Previously, the most widely accepted estimate suggested 0.3 percent of American adults were transgender. That figure came from a smaller analysis by the Williams Institute in 2011, based on a health survey in Massachusetts and a survey about tobacco use among LGBT people in California. The new analysis draws on a much bigger set of data from 19 states that have since started asking about gender identity in questionnaires about health risk behaviors run by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The researchers also used Census Bureau data to estimate the transgender populations in the 31 other states. Williams Institute The study’s authors say their analysis is the first in the United States to estimate the transgender population in each state."

Although there is not a primary or an overarching central organization that represents all LGBT+ people and their interests, numerous LGBT rights organizations are active worldwide. The earliest organizations to support LGBT+ rights were formed in the 19th century. A commonly stated goal among these movements is social equality for LGBT people, but there is still denial of full LGBT+ rights.

This list consists of many notable people who identify as transgender. The individual listings note the subject's nationality and main occupation. In many non-Western and ancient or medieval societies, transgender people are seen as a different gender in itself, and there is a separate category for them, one that is different from the binary 'men' and 'women'. They are often described collectively as ' third genders .' These societies traditionally have separate social spaces for third gender people, which are separate from both men's social spaces and women's social spaces. Some of the persons listed here crossdressed during wartime for various purposes. It should also be noted that transgender people are by definition not \"\"transvestites\"\" or \"\"drag performers\"\" because the latter do not live or identify their gender as being different to the gender assigned at birth consistently in their daily lives.

R. 2965, S. 4023) is a landmark United States federal statute enacted in December 2010 that established a process for ending the Don't ask, don't tell (DADT) policy ( 10 U. S. C. § 654 ), thus allowing gays, lesbians, and bisexuals to serve openly in the United States Armed Forces. It ended the policy in place since 1993 that allowed them to serve only if they kept their sexual orientation secret and the military did not learn of their sexual orientation. The Act established a process for ending the \"\"Don't ask, don't tell\"\" policy. According to the Congressional Research Service, the Act: [3]Provided for repeal of the current Department of Defense (DOD) policy concerning homosexuality in the Armed Forces, to be effective 60 days after the Secretary of Defense has received DOD's comprehensive review on the implementation of such repeal, and the President, Secretary, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) certify to the congressional defense committees that they have considered the report and proposed plan of action, that DOD has prepared the necessary policies and regulations to exercise the discretion provided by such repeal, and that implementation of such policies and regulations is consistent with the standards of military readiness and effectiveness, unit cohesion, and military recruiting and retention. The Act did not ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in the military, as provided for in the proposed Military Readiness Enhancement Act. President Barack Obama, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen provided the certification required by the Act to Congress on July 22, 2011.

"text": "Sunday Review171Editorial An Openly Gay Man Runs the Army An Openly Gay Man Runs the Army Rebekka Dunlap By The Editorial Board May 21, 2016Last week an openly gay man, Eric Fanning, became secretary of the Army. Read that sentence again and contemplate what it reveals about how much and how quickly American society has changed. Only five years ago, openly gay people were barred from serving in its armed forces. During Mr. Fanning’s lengthy confirmation process, his sexual orientation was simply not an issue. That is a tribute to those who fought so hard to repeal the ban, and a measure of the nation’s at times uncertain, but as yet unfailing, march toward equality. In retrospect the fight that convulsed this country over whether gay Americans should serve in uniform seems senseless, almost absurd. Yet it is instructive, if only because a Pentagon plan to allow transgender Americans to serve openly in uniform remains stalled by a similar, albeit quieter, debate. There is broad agreement that prohibiting openly gay people from serving was a cruel policy that abetted bigotry. It legitimized the notion that being gay was shameful and incompatible with the valorous profession of arms. It cut short the careers of talented people who had been performing vital work in wartime, which weakened the military."

"text": "Rep. Jackie Speier, California Democrat. ( AP Photo/Paul Sakuma) ** FILE ** more >Print By Jacqueline Klimas - The Washington Times - Tuesday, June 23, 2015A House member plans to introduce a bill this month that would allow transgender troops to serve openly in the military by repealing a ban that she says is outdated and doesn’t serve any military or medical need. Rep. Jackie Speier, California Democrat, is writing a bill that would lift the ban on transgender troops serving and has asked other lawmakers to sign on as co-sponsors of the bill in a “Dear Colleague” letter. “The current ban has hurt our troops and damaged our national defense for too long. Many in uniform endure tremendous challenges and setbacks — emotional, financial, and professional — because they are forced to serve in silence,” Ms. Speier wrote in the letter dated June 4. “ We have the opportunity to follow through on our promise to support our troops, no matter their gender identity. Now is the time to allow our transgender troops to serve openly and honestly. ”An estimated 134,000 transgender troops have served in the military, including about 15,500 who are currently serving, according to the letter. Although the 2011 repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy allowed gays to serve without worrying that they could be kicked out for disclosing their sexual orientation, transgender troops still can be discharged for revealing their gender identity. “They fight our wars, they serve honorably, but they do so at a price."

These laws prohibit discrimination based on certain characteristics or protected categories. The United States Constitution also prohibits discrimination by federal and state governments against their public employees. Discrimination in the private sector is directly constrained by the Constitution, but has become subject to a growing body of federal and state law. Federal law prohibits discrimination in a number of areas, including recruiting, hiring, job evaluations, promotion policies, training, compensation and disciplinary action.

"text": "\"Authored by Legal Match Law Library Managing Editor, Ken La Mance, Attorney at Law Understanding the 14 th Amendment Tweet The U. S. Constitution was created by the founding fathers on September 17, 1787 and serves as an outline of rules that our government must follow. Different events throughout history have resulted in many changes being made within the constitution. These changes are known as amendments, and currently there are a total of 27, many of which outline fundamental rights associated with the important area of constitutional law. One of the most important amendments under the constitution defined the status of citizenship within our country. The 14 th amendment, ratified on July 28, 1868 was created as part of the Reconstruction Amendments and said that all people born or living in the United States are citizen and should be treated equally under the law. The creation of this amendment changed the way Americans look at equality, and the effects it had on our history are still as important today as they were over 200 years ago. At the time the 14 th Amendment was created, The Civil War had just come to an end, defeating the Confederacy. Abraham Lincoln, who was acting President, had declared the slaves freed at the end of the war; however, there were still a lot of lingering questions regarding the former Confederates and the status of slaves in the country. To answer these questions, congress created the Reconstruction Amendments which included the 13th, 14 th, and 15th amendments to the constitution. The 13th Amendment was ratified in December of 1865 and officially put an end to slavery within the United States."

"text": "\"Allowing Transgender People to Serve in the US Military Is 'Inevitable'Photo by Neil Ward Americas Allowing Transgender People to Serve in the US Military Is 'Inevitable'By Jordan Larson August 29, 2014 | 6:50 am Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel made headlines in May when he said that the policy excluding transgender people from serving in the military should \"\"continually be reviewed,\"\" and that he \"\"would be open\"\" to rethinking the ban. His remarks led many to hope that a change in regulations for transgender service members could happen in the near future. Since the 2010 repeal of \"\"Don't Ask, Don't Tell\"\" — a policy enacted by the Bill Clinton administration that required gay and lesbian service members to remain closeted about their sexuality — the campaign to end the exclusion of transgender people in the military has also picked up steam. This effort was aided by reports from the Palm Center think tank in March 2014 and the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law in May, which estimate that around 15,500 people currently serving in the US military are transgender. Data from the National Transgender Discrimination Survey and the US Census Bureau shows that there are about 134,300 transgender veterans, and that military service is more common among transgender people than it is among the general American population. No data is available on whether these individuals are pre- or post-transition. With the support of a number of retired generals, the Palm Center, which focuses on gender and sexuality in the military, released another report on Tuesday on how to navigate and implement the necessary policy changes to allow transgender people to openly serve. \"\" We have men and women around America that are willing to serve, that would like to come in, or are actively serving, and what we ask them to do when they're inside the military — to pretend that they're not transgender — is just wrong,\"\" Gale Pollock, former acting surgeon general of the US Army and co-chair of the commission that produced the report, told VICE News.

"text": "Report Civil Society Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) Laws Threaten Freedom November 30, 2015 33 min read Download Report Ryan Anderson@Ryan TAnd Senior Research Fellow in American Principles and Public Policy Ryan T. Anderson, Ph. D., researches and writes about marriage, bioethics, religious liberty and political philosophy. Copied Select a Section 1 /0America is dedicated to protecting the freedoms guaranteed under the First Amendment to the Constitution, while respecting citizens’ equality before the law. None of these freedoms is absolute. Compelling governmental interests can at times trump fundamental civil liberties, but sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) laws do not pass this test. Rather, they trample First Amendment rights and unnecessarily impinge on citizens’ right to run their local schools, charities, and businesses in ways consistent with their values. SOGI laws do not protect equality before the law; instead, they grant special privileges that are enforceable against private actors. SOGI laws could also have serious unintended consequences. These laws tend to be vague and overly broad, lacking clear definitions of what discrimination on the basis of “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” mean and what conduct can and cannot be penalized. These laws would impose ruinous liability on innocent citizens for alleged “discrimination” based on subjective and unverifiable identities, not on objective traits."

Transgender people have been present in the land now known as the United States at least since the early 1600s. Before Western contact, some Native American tribes had third gender people whose social roles varied from tribe to tribe. People dressing and living differently from their sex assignment at birth and contributing to various aspects of American history and culture have been documented from the 17th century to the present day. In the 20th and 21st centuries, advances in sex reassignment surgery as well as transgender activism have influenced transgender life and the popular perception of transgender people in the United States.

[ citation needed] These include \"\"berdaches\"\" (a derogatory term for people born male and who assumed a traditionally feminine role), and \"\"passing women\"\" (people born female who took on a traditionally masculine role). The term berdache is not a Native American word; rather it was a European slur covering a range of third-gender people in different tribes. [ 1] Starting in the 1990s, LGBT and indigenous activists have promoted the use of the term Two-Spirit to describe gender-variant Native Americans.

"text": "\"Trapdoor Spiders The name Trapdoor spider covers several families and many different species. Trapdoor spiders can be distinguished from the more dangerous Funnel web spider by its brown or mottled markings. When in danger, a Trapdoor spider will freeze or flee whereas a Funnel web will rear back aggressively. One of the most common is the Brush Footed Trapdoor spider which has tufts of \"\"tooth-ended\"\" hairs on their feet which allow them to climb smooth, vertical shafts. Brush Footed Trapdoor spiders are also known as Bird Eating spiders. One was seen to eat a baby domestic chicken. Trapdoor spiders construct burrows lined by their silk and closed by a hinged door of silk, moss, and soil. There they lie in wait for passing prey, usually an insect; when the prey touches silken threads radiating out on the ground near the door, the spiders quickly open the door and seize it. Closely related to Tarantulas, Trapdoor Spiders make up the family Ctenizidae. They are generally small, are harmless to humans, and are found in many warm climates."

Spiders often get a bad rap, and some people are afraid of them. But only a few species are dangerous to humans, and even then they won't bite unless they feel threatened. Spiders are not insects, and they are different in many ways. For example, spiders have two body parts: the front body section, called the cephalothorax (seff-a-la-THOR-ax), and an abdomen; insects have three body parts: a head, thorax, and abdomen. Spiders have eight legs while insects have six, and, in general, spiders have \"\"simple\"\" eyes instead of the \"\"compound\"\" eyes that give many insects much better vision. All spiders are both carnivorous and venomous, but only a small percentage of them are potentially dangerous to humans. Spiders use their venom to paralyze their prey and only bite if cornered or trapped. Black widows are one of the most feared and misunderstood spiders. They do have powerful venom, but they are timid and shy."

Ants, rats, spiders – they can pop up without warning, leaving you to deal with their removal or extermination. One such problem you may encounter is a yard mole. Most don’t even think of these creatures when imagining a pest in their yard, but the problem is real. Moles are small, furry animals that spend their time underground. Their large forearms are ideal for digging through the dirt where they burrow, eat earthworms, and stay mostly out of sight. The issues you go through in regards to a mole in your yard are sometimes mild, but sometimes severe. Luckily, there are ways to get rid of the animal. Table of Contents Signs That You’ve Got a Mole in Your Yard Get Them Out of the Garden Controlling Moles The Best Way to Remove Yard Moles Signs That You’ve Got a Mole in Your Yard Everyone has heard the saying “Don’t make a mountain out of a mole hill.” Mole hills are a telltale sign that you’ve got the creatures in your yard."

[ 1] Atracinae consists of three genera: Atrax, Hadronyche, and Illawarra, comprising 35 species. A number of the species produce venom which is dangerous to humans and bites by spiders of six of the species have caused severe injuries to victims.

"text": "\"Share Spiders Commonly Encountered In Pennsylvania and the Northeast Introduction Spiders, along with daddylonglegs, ticks, mites, and scorpions, belong to the class Arachnida. They are beneficial animals that feed on all sorts of arthropods, including insects. About 3,000 species of spiders are found in the United States. Spiders rarely bite people, and most species found in the world are harmless. However, some people may be allergic to a spider’s bite, and a few species of spiders are known to produce bites that may have serious medical implications for humans. Two of the more medically important types are the black widow spiders, and the brown recluse spider and its relatives. These two types of spiders are rarely encountered in Pennsylvania. Although black widows can be found native in Pennsylvania, the brown recluse spiders must be introduced and cannot survive in Pennsylvania’s climate unless they remain inside heated structures. Many spiders indigenous to Pennsylvania will come into homes, mostly during the autumn, and a few of the more common and important of these will be discussed here. To facilitate an accurate description of each of these species, and to aid the reader, a glossary of terms is included at the end of this publication."

I have heard it repeatedly in the United States and even heard a schoolteacher misinforming her class at a museum in Brisbane, Australia. This is incorrect, but to clarify it, several points need to be explained first. The animals Most folks who retell this tale have no idea that they are referring to two completely separate groups of animals: \"\"daddy-longlegs\"\" and \"\"daddy-longlegs spiders\"\". In the animal class Arachnida, there are several lower level divisions called Orders. Scorpions are in the Order Scorpiones, spiders are in the Order Araneae, ticks and mites are in the Order Acari. The creatures most correctly called daddy-longlegs are in their own separate Order which is Opiliones. Common names for this Order are 1) daddy-longlegs, 2) harvestmen and 3) opilionids. They are characterized by having one basic body segment which shows segmentation on the posterior portion, at most 2 eyes and all 8 legs attach to the pill-like body segment."

"text": "Australia’s Most Dangerous Spiders1 November 19, 2013Australia is renowned for having being home to some of the deadliest creatures on the planet. The sea is full of man-eating sharks, it has the deadliest snakes on Earth and there is even a bird capable of killing a man – granted it can’t fly, but you get the picture. However, if australia is infamous for one particular group of terror inducing beasties it is our eight-legged friends the spiders. If you are arachnaphobic, which frankly most people seem to be, then Australia, with its 10,000 species of spiders could present a few problems. Whilst all spiders are venomous in reality very few are capable of biting a human and even fewer pose any potential risk. In fact Australian spiders are statistically so un-dangerous that there hasn’t been a death from a spider bite since 1981. That’s puts them on a par with, er, wombats!So, now you are in possession of the facts and realise there is nothing at all to be scared of allow me to introduce you to ten of Australia’s not so deadly spiders.10. Common Garden Orb Weaver Spider Photo: Ilena Gecan The name “common garden orb weaver spider” pretty much sums this spider up. It’s very common in Australian gardens where it weaves an intricate orb shaped web. It is similar to the garden spiders around the world with its big, bulky abdomen and distinctive patterning."

The straps hold the prisoner down during the injection. Photograph courtesy of the Arizona Department of Corrections. Eight Different Ways to Kill a Human Being Rulers have always devised gruesome ways to do away with prisoners: boiling them in oil, throwing them in snake pits, dragging them under boats, flaying them, poisoning them, burying them alive, drawing and quartering them, and on and on. Today, governments tend to be more civilized -- or at least less creative -- in the way they kill their citizens. The eight execution methods discussed here are those most widely practiced in an official capacity in the modern world. But it's worth mentioning that governments (including, at times, the U. S. Government) have been known to kill prisoners through other, less \"\"official\"\" means--ranging from gunshots (no questions asked) to chemical weapons (as Saddam Hussein authorized against thousands of Iraqi Kurds during the Anfal Campaign of 1988) to starvation (the primary means by which the North Korean government manages to kill so many prisoners without handing out formal death sentences). Lethal injection is the most prevalent form of capital punishment in the United States today, but this does not necessarily mean that it's the most civilized. History In 1982, the United States became the first country to perform executions by lethal injection. China became the second in 1997, and several other countries have since followed."

Standard Common Name Redback Spider Alternative Name/s Red-back Spider Identification Redback spiders ( Latrodectus hasselti ) belong to the Family Theridiidae, which is found worldwide. The notorious Black Widow Spider ( Latrodectus sp) of the United States is a close relative of the Redback Spider, and only differs in appearance by the absence of a red dorsal stripe. Other species of Latrodectus occur in Africa, New Zealand (the Katipo), the Pacific Islands, Europe and North and South America. Female Redback Spiders are black (occasionally brownish) with an obvious orange to red longitudinal stripe on the upper abdomen, with the red stripe sometimes being broken, and an \"\"hourglass\"\" shaped red/orange spot on the underside of the abdomen. Juveniles have additional white markings on the abdomen. Females have a body about the size of a large pea and slender legs. The males' red markings are often less distinct. The body is light brown with white markings on the upper side of the abdomen, and a pale hour-glass marking on the underside."

"text": "Answer The answer to this question depends greatly on climate and the species of spider in question. Spiders reproduce year round in tropical regions. North American spiders can breed in the spring, summer, or fall, or all three seasons. Typically, spiders in the U. S. and Canada appear more abundant in autumn because most of the large orb weavers reach adulthood at that time, and as the foliage falls from trees their webs become ever more obvious. Further, fall is mating time for many of the hunting spiders like tarantulas, trapdoor spiders, wolf spiders, and others; and the males will frequently enter homes and other buildings looking for mates, even those species normally confined to webs. Female orb weavers north of Mexico generally produce egg sacs in the fall and some species overwinter in that condition. Look for wolf spider females to be toting egg sacs from their spinnerets, often in spring or summer. Additional Questions General Spider Questions What is a spider? How do I identify a spider?

So how do we do spider identification and how many types of spiders are out there? Before we go on to spider identification and discussing the types of spiders, we must first define what are spiders in the first place. Types of Spiders – What are Spiders? Spiders are arthropods which breathe air. They have eight legs and inject venom through their chelicerae. They are of the order Araneae and are the largest in the order of arachnids.

"text": "Treadmills: Accurate or Bullsmack? November 23, 2010 by Ali OWhilst out having drinks with some of the most brilliant ladies I know, Ciana and I found ourselves in a side conversation about treadmills. Yes, I know that in the past I have waxed annoyance with the ever-faithful treadmill, and I certainly do have plenty of reasons to prefer running in the great outdoors. As our days grow shorter and it’s too overcast to see more than a few feet in front of myself, I’ve been trying to find my stride on those mechanical beasts over at the YMCA. Last week, on my first day back on the ‘mill, I noticed that the distance counter seemed to think I was running at a 15 minute mile pace, which shocked me. I relayed this to Ciana, who agreed that she often felt misled by her ‘mills ability to log her miles correctly. So of course, I had to turn to the internet to try and find out if we were right, or if perhaps we’re just a little slower than we imagined. First off, it’s entirely possible we’re running at a more tortisey-pace when ‘milling than when we’re outside. According to Fit FAQ.com, “Because you run with less effort on a treadmill, you need to raise the elevation to at least one-percent. If you leave it at zero percent elevation, you’ll be running slower than the mile-per-hour setting indicates because you don’t have to overcome wind resistance on the treadmill."

It can be used to communicate with others, view notifications from an i Phone and even pay for items with Apple Pay. It's also a dedicated activity tracker that can measure active calories burned, active minutes, the number of times you stand throughout the day, your daily step count and distance traveled. We've been testing the Apple Watch over the past few weeks, and focused on those final two metrics -- steps taken and distance traveled -- to see how it stacks up against the competition. How the Apple Watch measures distance To be clear, steps taken and distance traveled are two related -- but discrete -- metrics. The former is exactly what it sounds like: the number of footfalls in a given period, while the latter is the resulting linear distance. While both should be absolute numbers, they'll differ from person to person based on height and stride. But take nothing for granted."

It's easy on your knees and joints, but when it comes to your cardiovascular system, it can be as easy or as hard as you want it to be The biggest advantage that an elliptical offers is that it does not subject your musculo-skeletal structure to the same impact forces that a treadmill would. When you run, your feet repeatedly pound on the ground at forces significantly higher than our body weight. If you're running long distances, not wearing the right shoes, carrying extra weight on you, not running with the proper posture etc, then this can sometimes lead to injuries. An elliptical eliminates that risk. However, that in no way means that en elliptical workout is easy. A good elliptical machine will have one of these on it: (Image Source: Horizon Fitness EX-69-2 Elliptical Trainer) A control panel like this generally gives you access to two settings:1) Incline- Similar to a treadmill, you can make your workout increasingly harder by increasing the incline of the elliptical machine.2) Resistance- This setting basically controls how hard it will be to do each cycle on the elliptical. The higher the resistance, the more effort you will need to apply on each cycle. If you're just starting out, you will first want to go with 0 incline and minimum resistance to gauge your level of fitness."

If you've just jogged on the treadmill for 10 minutes, congratulations, you've done something that's good for your heart, lungs, muscles and overall health. However, you can't make an assumption about how far you've just run based on the time. The distance you've covered will depend on a number of factors, including your fitness level. On average though, if you're running an average of 1 mile in 10 minutes, consider yourself in moderately decent shape. Less Conditioned People If you don't normally do moderate- or vigorous-intensity exercise, chances are your body is in a deconditioned state, and those 10 minutes you spent on the treadmill probably added up to less than 1 mile. A slow to moderate running pace is about 5 miles per hour, or about a 12-minute mile. Even when you walk at a moderate pace, you're walking at about 4 miles per hour, or a 15-minute mile pace. If You're More Fit Here's another way to look at it: For a middle-aged man, not being able to run a 10-minute mile, or about a 6-mile-per-hour pace, is considered \"\"unfit,\"\" according to Dr. Jarett D. Berry, assistant professor of internal medicine and cardiology at Southwestern Medical School, in an article in \"\"The New York Times.\"\" A middle-aged woman would be \"\"unfit\"\" if she can't run a 12-minute mile."

Every 2 seconds I would change my pace. I know we have all been there. If you are working on training for a race and you aren’t doing tempo, intervals or speed work, here are some tips. Never run so fast that you lose your breath. You should be “breathy”, but still be able to talk. If you can’t talk you will run out of steam before you finish a long run because chances are you have the treadmill set too fast. Find a comfortable pace where you feel like you are breathing heavier than normal, but can still answer a question if someone was talking to you. That is a good rule of thumb."

Contents [ hide ]1 History1.1 Modifications1.2 Results1.3 Underlying Heart Rate Formulas1.4 Karvonen method2 References History [ edit]Before the development of the Bruce Protocol there was no safe, standardized protocol that could be used to monitor cardiac function in exercising patients. Master's Two-Step test was sometimes used, but it was too strenuous for many patients, and inadequate for the assessment of respiratory and circulatory function during varying amounts of exercise. Most physicians relied upon patients' complaints about exertion, and examined them only at rest. To address these problems, Bruce and his colleagues began to develop a treadmill exercise test. The test made extensive use of relatively new technological developments in electrocardiographs and motorized treadmills. A Bruce exercise test involved walking on a treadmill while the heart was monitored by an electrocardiograph with various electrodes attached to the body. Ventilation volumes and respiratory gas exchanges were also monitored, before, during and after exercise. Because the treadmill speed and inclination could be adjusted, this physical activity was tolerated by most patients. Initial experiments involved a single-stage test, in which subjects walked for 10 minutes on the treadmill at a fixed workload."

You might go days on end without thinking about calories, but as soon as you commit to hitting the gym in an effort to lose weight, calories zip to the forefront of your mind. Burning calories is integral to weight loss, but knowing exactly how many calories you burn during your workout helps you track the workout's efficiency and ensure you're on track with your goals. Treadmills help you monitor the calories you burn, and many are more accurate than you might expect. Trust Your Treadmill If your treadmill requires you to input your weight before you begin the workout, you've got reason to smile. By factoring in your weight, the treadmill will provide a more accurate calorie reading than a treadmill that doesn't ask your weight, as an individual's calorie burn is closely tied to her weight. If the treadmill doesn't ask your weight, it will calculate your calorie burn based on a weight that might be more or less than your weight -- and the reading will be inaccurate. Increase the Burn Inputting your weight into the treadmill before your workout is only half the battle. If you don't walk or run with the proper technique, you'll get an inaccurate reading. According to \"\"Shape\"\" magazine, leaning on the treadmill's hand supports can cut your calorie burn by as much as 40 percent, but the machine won't reveal this difference."

With many treadmills offering advanced computer technology and media entertainment integration, you might find it easier than ever to exercise on a treadmill for an extended period of time. The amount of time you should run on a treadmill, however, really depends on your fitness goals. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Weight-Loss Goal When combined with healthy eating and strength training, running on a treadmill can help you lose weight and maintain your weight loss. If you are a beginner with little experience running, start out by running at a slow comfortable pace for 15 minutes, three days a week. You may even need to run a minute and walk a minute until you are able to run the full 15 minutes. Slowly increase the amount of time you are running on a treadmill to 30 minutes four days a week to maintain your healthy weight. Improve Your Overall Fitness If you want to improve your overall level of fitness, you need to exercise at a level of moderate to vigorous intensity. Pay attention to how long you are running on the treadmill, as well as how intensely you are running. Run for 150 minutes each week at a moderate level of intensity or 75 minutes each week at a vigorous intensity level."

"text": "It's no wonder that one of the top reasons people take up running is for weight loss: The sport burns more calories than many other recreational activities. But the rate of calorie burn can vary widely depending on a number of variables. You've probably heard the old adage that a person burns about 100 calories running one mile, but this is just a very loose average that is highly inaccurate for heavier runners, as you'll see below. In this article, we put calorie myths to rest and give you the tools to calculate just how many calories you burn during different types of running workouts. The Variables The number of calories you burn while running depends on metabolic variables, like body weight, age and body composition, and performance variables such as pace and incline. Because body composition is difficult to determine accurately, and because age has a relatively low effect on metabolism, most formulas use body weight as the only metabolic variable when calculating calorie expenditure during activity. Calories Burned Running This Walk/Run Metabolic Calculator on Ex Rx.net is fun to play around with and more accurate than some other calculators because it factors in the grade (or incline), as well as average pace and the runner's body weight. For weight loss, this calculator is also useful because it allows a runner to view both gross calories and net calories burned. Gross calories are the total number of calories burned in a certain amount of time. Net calories, meanwhile, are the number of calories burned, minus the number of calories you would have burned sitting around doing nothing for the same period of time."

By Wendy Bumgardner Updated September 26, 2017Share Pin Email Print Westend61/Getty Images It certainly feels like you are burning more calories when you walk uphill or add incline to your treadmill workout. But how many more calories are you burning by walking uphill? The answer comes from two sources: research measurements for metabolic equivalents, and equations used by the American College of Sports Medicine. Burning More Calories Walking Uphill Research in metabolic equivalents uses actual measurements of the calories expended by people walking uphill at a brisk 3.5 miles per hour with those walking on flat, firm ground at the same speed. The difference was an increase of calories burned by 60 percent or by an additional 48 calories per mile for a 150-pound person. On flat ground, that person would burn 80 calories per mile. This research of metabolic equivalents (MET) is used in walking calorie charts and some calculators. The second method uses the equations from the \"\"American College Of Sports Medicine's Resource Manual for Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription.\"\" It shows: For every 1 percent of grade, you increase your calories burned by about 12 percent or about 10 more calories per mile for a 150-pound person."

From insane monsters to even crazier citizens, Pandora's moon Elpis (and the super-laser-equipped space station hovering above it) can pose a serious threat to any Vault Hunter that attempts to tame its harsh galactic wilderness. That's where this guide comes in. While the Pre-Sequel shares many (and I mean many) things in common with prior games, there are a few new features to keep in mind as you explore. And whether you're a newbie to the world of Borderlands or a veteran of the vault, these tips will help you get on your feet and shooting fools in no time. Co-op is way better than single player Hell might be multiplayer in virtually every other scenario, but in Borderlands, other people make the game that much better. The different character classes complement each other, and the numerous dangerous enemies fall much faster under the might of a handful of players. You will have to fight over who gets what loot, though, so keep that in mind. That's not to say solo players will find the game impossible, but they will have a much harder time than those who bring a few friends along, especially by the last third of the game. Having someone there to revive you in case you die makes the massive boss fights that much more palatable."

Make your way to the entrance to Headstone Mine. This is basic urban combat for the most part. It's easy to retreat and take cover. Near the exit of the first camp there's a sniper up above. Nearby on the north side, there's a building with a weapons chest that you should definitely check out. The next area is a bit harder. There's a gun turret in the west that you can't effectively take out at long range, so scope it out and stay aware of it while sniping. Make your way into the building in the west (there's a weapons chest and lots of loot here) and then make your way up the steps where you can hit the turret with grenades and seek cover. A bit east of here on the upper level you can find a red chest in a building, or follow the tracks the other way to continue."

Photo by Silver Screen Collection/Getty Imageby Christopher Minster Updated May 28, 2017We’ve all seen the movies where one-eyed, peg-leg pirates make off with great wooden chests full of gold, silver, and jewels. But is this image really accurate? It turns out that pirates very rarely got their hands on gold, silver or jewels. What sort of plunder did pirates actually take from their victims? Pirates and their Victims During the so-called \"\"Golden Age of Piracy,\"\" which lasted roughly from 1700 to 1725, hundreds of pirate ships plagued the waters of the world. These pirates, while generally associated with the Caribbean, did not limit their activities to that region: they struck off the coast of Africa and even made forays into the Pacific and Indian Oceans. They would attack and rob any non-Navy ship that crossed their paths: mostly merchant and slaver vessels plying the Atlantic. The plunder the pirates took from these ships mainly traded goods that were profitable at the time. Food and Drink Pirates often plundered food and drink from their victims: alcoholic drinks, in particular, were rarely if ever allowed to continue on their way."

"text": "\"Modding Borderlands is fairly simple, and it can be more fun than playing the game alone, and it's easy to do with a few basic tools and skills!First and foremost, Borderlands is technically a mod itself since at the heart of the game is a modded Unreal Engine, so it feels only natural to mod Borderlands. The process of modding any game is being able to transfer the game save file to a computer program in order to alter or fix any negative bugs or glitches that game developers were unable to correct or missed within the parameters of the game/program or just to make better since modders creativity is not restricted by deadlines and incorrigible co-workers. It also allows players to create their own personalized experience, and to help make things new again. As of late there is a negative stigma around modding since modders have been known mostly for cheating, but just like anything in life there is a responsibility for modders to use it for good, and not evil, so go out there, and make the game better, and more exciting instead!Main cause for the negative attitude towards modding: Games like Borderlands utilizes a system called a Token Economy (an adult version of gold stars). The statement below describes the psychology of what happens when modded gear, and duping are introduced into this virtual economy…\"\"Token economies are fragile. If Billy breaks into the teacher's desk after hours and starts handing everyone fistfuls of gold stars, they become worthless and the economy collapses, irrecoverably. In high-end fashion handbag terms, counterfeit products threaten to destroy the token value. In game terms: game balance is hard, and getting it wrong can tank the economy. \"\"\"\" All this is just another way of saying that rarity creates desirability. It's hardwired into the human brain."

TIPS are considered an extremely low-risk investment since they are backed by the U. S. government and because the par value rises with inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, while the interest rate remains fixed. Next Up TIPS Spread Inflation Trade Principal30-Year Treasury BREAKING DOWN 'Treasury Inflation Protected Securities - TIPS'Interest on Treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS) is paid semiannually. TIPS can be purchased directly from the government through the Treasury Direct system, in $100 increments with a minimum investment of $100, and are available with 5-, 10-, and 30-year maturities. Because the semiannual inflation adjustments of a TIPS bond are considered taxable income by the IRS, even though investors don't see that money until they sell the bond or it reaches maturity, some investors prefer to get TIPS through a TIPS mutual fund or exchange traded fund (ETF), or to only hold them in tax-deferred retirement accounts to avoid tax complications. Purchasing TIPS directly, however, allows investors to avoid the management fees associated with mutual funds. TIPS are also valuable because they are exempt from state and local income taxes. Example of Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Adjustments Suppose an investor owns $1,000 in TIPS at the end of the year, with a coupon rate of 1%. If there is no inflation as measured by the CPI, the investor will receive $10 over the year in coupon payments. If inflation rises by 2%, however, the $1,000 principal will be adjusted upward by 2% to $1,020."

"text": "5 Things To Do Before Interest Rates Go Up By Stephen D. Simpson, CFA July 7, 2010 — 2:00 AM EDTLow interest rates are great, but even this silver lining has a cloud to it - those rates are eventually going to go up again. And when you really think about it, we should all be happy to see rates go up. Rising rates are a normal part of healthy economic growth and rock-bottom rates are usually a sign of a long-term malaise (like Japan) or bubbles in the making (like the U. S. housing market). With rates likely to head higher someday, what should investors do to prepare themselves? IN PICTURES: 5 Steps To Attaining A Mortgage Buy a House or a Car If you have been thinking about buying a house, buying a car or refinancing an older mortgage (or a floating-rate mortgage with a lock about to expire), now might be the time. Although it is true that the interest rates for mortgages and car loans do not move in lock-step with the Federal Reserve's discount rate or the prevailing prime rate, they do all move together in general. If rates move up 1% and you are looking at a 30-year loan for $175,000, that move can cost you about $40,000 over the life of the loan. That is certainly no small amount. Move to Shorter Bonds As rates go up, the price of bonds goes down - but they do not all go down uniformly. There is a concept with bonds called duration, and it is a weighted measure of the length of time the bond will pay out, taking interest payments paid out into account."

One is the amount of money a person can use to invest in securities (and that can include money the investor borrows in order to buy securities). The other more common definition is the quantity of goods or services that a dollar can buy. A decrease in buying power is called inflation. How It Works Let's assume that $1 bought 1.50 gallons of gas in 1987. Today, $1 buys about 0.50 gallons. This is an example of the change in the buying power of the American dollar. Two general theories explain decreases in buying power. The first, the demand-pull theory says that prices increase when demand for goods and services exceeds their supply."

Fixed-income investments can be used to diversify one's portfolio, as they pose less risk than equities and derivative investments. Retired individuals typically tend to invest heavily in fixed-income investments because of the reliable returns they offer. Next Up Fixed-Income Security Bond Bond Fund Straight Bond BREAKING DOWN 'Fixed Income'There are two main types of investments in the capital markets: debt and equity. Equity, or company shares, is considered ownership in the company, and investors receive a return based on share price appreciation and/or dividends. As the name suggests, a fixed income is a pre-determined amount of income that is paid by an issuer and earned by an investor. Fixed-income investors do not have an ownership stake in the company but act as lenders of capital. In exchange for interest, fixed-income investors lend their money to firms. As a result, they are considered creditors and often have a higher claim than shareholders in case of bankruptcy or default, making the investment less risky than equity. Fixed Income as a Product The most common example of a security that yields a fixed income is a bond."

In addition, we must build in pressures toward fiscal responsibility by the government with respect to the production of balanced budgets and reduction of debt.

Savings Bonds for yourself or as gifts? Then you need to know about a big change in the way they’re now issued. As of Jan. 1, you can no longer purchase U. S. Savings Bonds at your local bank or credit union. Not only that, you can’t buy paper versions of the bonds — with one exception. Purchases of U. S. Savings Bonds must be made through the U. S. Treasury's website. ( The Treasury Department expects the move to save the government about $70 million over the next five years. ) Here's a quick refresher course on the difference between EE and I Bonds: Both types can be bought in denominations of $25, earn interest for 30 years, are exempt from state and local taxes, and can be cashed in after 12 months (with a three-month interest penalty if you redeem them within the first five years). EE Bonds issued after May 2005 earn a fixed rate of interest; the current rate is 0.60 percent. I Bonds, which offer inflation protection, earn a combination of a fixed interest rate (it's currently 0.00 percent, however) and a rate pegged to inflation (now 1.10 percent).

The argument against an investor ever owning individual corporate, high yield, or emerging market bonds (even in a ladder) is that the effect of a single default (such as a corporation or city brought down by fraud), even if unlikely, could be devastating to the investor's portfolio. For municipal bonds the picture is less clear, as default rates are quite low for investment grade securities; [1] nevertheless for small-to-medium-sized portfolios ( Swedroe suggests $500k minimum portfolio size whereas Alan Roth suggests $50m for holding individual bonds) diversification requirements and high bid/ask spread transaction costs suggest that most investors would be best served by holding municipal bonds in low cost diversified mutual funds.

Inflation affects all aspects of the economy, from consumer spending, business investment and employment rates to government programs, tax policies, and interest rates. What is inflation? Inflation is a sustained rise in overall price levels. Moderate inflation is associated with economic growth, while high inflation can signal an overheated economy. As an economy grows, businesses and consumers spend more money on goods and services. In the growth stage of an economic cycle, demand typically outstrips the supply of goods, and producers can raise their prices. As a result, the rate of inflation increases. If economic growth accelerates very rapidly, demand grows even faster and producers raise prices continually. An upward price spiral, sometimes called “runaway inflation” or “hyperinflation,” can result."

"text": "\"Inflation and Debt John H. Cochrane Fall 2011F or several years, a heated debate has raged among economists and policymakers about whether we face a serious risk of inflation. That debate has focused largely on the Federal Reserve — especially on whether the Fed has been too aggressive in increasing the money supply, whether it has kept interest rates too low, and whether it can be relied on to reverse course if signs of inflation emerge. But these questions miss a grave danger. As a result of the federal government's enormous debt and deficits, substantial inflation could break out in America in the next few years. If people become convinced that our government will end up printing money to cover intractable deficits, they will see inflation in the future and so will try to get rid of dollars today — driving up the prices of goods, services, and eventually wages across the entire economy. This would amount to a \"\"run\"\" on the dollar. As with a bank run, we would not be able to tell ahead of time when such an event would occur. But our economy will be primed for it as long as our fiscal trajectory is unsustainable. Needless to say, such a run would unleash financial chaos and renewed recession. It would yield stagflation, not the inflation-fueled boomlet that some economists hope for."

The principal balance of TIPS changes with the Consumer Price Index, or CPI. With inflation, the principal rises, while deflation causes the principal to go down. Since the principal amount fluctuates with the CPI, so does the actual interest rate paid on TIPS. The principal repaid at maturity is either the adjusted principal or the original one, whichever is greater. Thus, investors are protected against deflation. As of August 2015, TIPS ETFs have generated an average annual return of about 3 to 4% over the last five to 10 years.

The longer the maturity date, the higher the interest rate that the T-Bill will pay to the investor. Purchase Process The pricing of T-Bills is unique among government debt issues; rather than providing interest payments like Treasury Bonds or Notes do, T-Bills are sold at a discount and the entire return is realized upon maturity. The interest rate earned on T-Bills is equal to the difference between the purchase price and maturity value, divided by the maturity value.

"text": "\"Home » Managing Your Money What Is the Difference Between a Treasury Bill, Treasury Note & a US Savings Bond?by Tim Plaehn; Updated July 27, 2017The U. S. Treasury issues a range of debt and savings securities to raise money for the government to use. Treasury bills, notes and savings bonds are significantly different from each other and serve different purposes for investors. Treasury bills and notes are marketable, meaning they can be sold on the secondary market where their value will fluctuate based on how interest rates compare with prevailing rates. Savings bonds are non-marketable and can only be redeemed to the Treasury Department by the registered owner. The one common factor is all of these, as well as other security types issued by Treasury, are guaranteed by the U. S. government. Treasury Bills Treasury bills are short-term debt securities sold by the Treasury through an auction process and traded on the secondary markets. T-bills have initial maturities of 4, 13, 26 or 52 weeks. Treasury bills are purchased at a discount to the face amount, and the amount of discount is the interest to be earned. For example, a $100,000 bill costs an investor $99,800. The $200 difference is the interest the investor will earn when the bill matures, and the face amount is paid out to the investor by the Treasury."

T-bills are very short-term bonds (26 weeks or less). They are issued at a discount to face value. You receive full face value at maturity. The difference between the offering price that you pay and the face value that you receive is your interest. Treasury notes are bonds of 2, 5, or 10 years.

S. government's debt obligations. Looked at another way, the Treasury yield is the interest rate that the U. S. government pays to borrow money for different lengths of time. Treasury yields don't just influence how much the government pays to borrow and how much investors earn by investing in this debt, they also influence the interest rates that individuals and businesses pay to borrow money to buy real estate, vehicles, and equipment.

S. Treasury notes or bonds. They are sold by the U. S. Treasury Department to pay for the U. S. debt. The most important thing to realize is that yields go down when there is a lot of demand for the bonds. That's why yields move in the opposite direction of bond values. How They Work Treasury yields are determined through supply and demand. The bonds are, in the beginning, sold at auction by the Treasury Department. It sets a fixed face value and interest rate. If there is a lot of demand, the bond will go to the highest bidder at a price above the face value. This lowers the yield. The government will only pay back the face value plus the stated interest rate."

It lacked both a stable currency and supply of credit along with revenue and banking systems. By the time the sixteenth president, Abraham Lincoln, took the oath of office on March 4, 1861, the country was not only on the verge of Civil War but also a financial disaster. The nation’s coffers were almost empty, left in disarray from three decades of Jacksonian fiscal policies, and the government faced a continuing liquidity crisis in light of the demands generated by Civil War expenditures. Early in his administration, Lincoln recognized that the war’s outcome would be largely determined by resources. Thus, he understood the imperative of raising funds to carry out the war effort. It was against this backdrop that Lincoln appointed Salmon P. Chase to the Treasury, authorizing Chase alone to act on all matters pertaining to the country’s finances. Chase, like most everyone else at the time, underestimated the severity of the War—both its duration and its cost. Just as dangerous, perhaps, Chase overestimated the usefulness of Jackson era financial policies to deal with the crisis. Upon taking office, Chase “found on hand less than $2,000,000, all of which was appropriated ten times over."

The unfinished pyramid design was a precursor to the reverse side of the Great Seal of the United States. By the end of 1778, Continental Currency retained only between 1⁄ 5 to 1⁄ 7 of its original face value. By 1780, Continental bills – or Continentals – were worth just 1⁄ 40 of their face value. Congress tried to reform the currency by removing the old bills from circulation and issuing new ones, but this met with little to no success. By May 1781, Continentals had become so worthless they ceased to circulate as money. Benjamin Franklin noted that the depreciation of the currency had, in effect, acted as a tax to pay for the war.

Treasury Issues Treasuries are among the most liquid of investments. The government sells securities directly to investors through the primary market when they are first offered. In addition, there is a very large secondary market for Treasuries. Although Treasuries have almost no credit risk, their prices may fluctuate with changes in interest rates. All Treasuries are sold in book-entry form, which means the investor never receives the paper security."

"text": "Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load What is a 'Treasury Note'A treasury note is a marketable U. S. government debt security with a fixed interest rate and a maturity between one and 10 years. Treasury notes are available from the government with either a competitive or noncompetitive bid. With a competitive bid, investors specify the yield they want, at the risk that their bid may not be approved; with a noncompetitive bid, investors accept whatever yield is determined at auction. Next Up Yield Curve Risk Treasury Bond - T-Bond Bull Steepener Bear Flattener BREAKING DOWN 'Treasury Note'Treasury notes are extremely popular investments, as there is a large secondary market that adds to their liquidity. Interest payments on the notes are made every six months until maturity. The income for interest payments is not taxable on a municipal or state level but is federally taxed, similar to the Treasury bond. The only difference between a Treasury note and bond is the length of maturity. A Treasury bond’s maturity can last from 10 to 30 years, making Treasury bonds the longest-dated, sovereign fixed-income security. Interest Rate Risk The longer the maturity, the higher the note’s or bond’s exposure to interest rate risks. In addition to credit strength, a note/bond’s value is determined by its sensitivity to changes in interest rates."

"text": "Are Frogs Nocturnal? Posted by Staff Writer in Frogs ANSWER: Most species of frogs are nocturnal, but many others are diurnal. There are over 4,800 distinct frog species living in a variety of habitats, and each species has adapted a sleep pattern that suits its diet and surroundings. Nocturnal Frogs The majority of frog species are nocturnal: they are most active at night. Many different types of frogs are nocturnal, from pond and river frogs that spend most of their lives in water to tree frogs that jump and climb high above the ground. Frogs tend to be nocturnal because night is the best time for them to catch prey such as insects and worms. Nocturnal terrestrial frogs are often brown or gray with spotted backs, while nocturnal tree frogs are usually green. These camouflage colors keep them hidden from predators as they sleep during the day. Many nocturnal frogs have loud, distinctive calls so they can communicate in the dark and across long distances. Some nocturnal frogs will hunt during the day if they are especially hungry."

[ 1] These orders exhibit a variety of different characteristics with respect to vision; and some orders have been studied more extensively than others. For example, frogs such as the Leopard Frog ( Rana pipiens ); Bullfrog ( Rana catesbeiana ); and the Common Toad ( Bufo bufo) have been used as model organisms for the study of the visual system for over 70 years [26]. Other well-studied Amphibians include: the Tiger Salamander ( Ambystoma tigrinum ); and Old World newts ( Triturus) In contrast, very little is known about the Caecilians. [ 2]Over 65 million years, the amphibian eye diverged very little from that of fish, with the same inflexible lens that accommodates by moving forward or backward within the eyeball. [ 3] The transparent nictitating membrane (an apparent advantage for aquatic creatures) was also retained in amphibians. Amphibians have eyes which are adjusted to seeing both on land and in water. Amphibians are unique in that they are capable of extra-ocular vision - sensing light energy using structures other than the eyes. [ 1] [4] For example, amphibian skin acts as a sense organ which often replaces the need for vision. Light sensitivity in the amphibian's eye depends on the extent of diurnal, crepuscular, nocturnal, and/or fossorial behavior of any given species. [ 2] Some species, such as the Texas Blind Salamander, dwell underground or in caves and have thus evolved to not have eyes since they live in complete darkness. ["

They are winged beetles, commonly called fireflies or lightning bugs for their conspicuous use of bioluminescence during twilight to attract mates or prey. Fireflies produce a \"\"cold light\"\", with no infrared or ultraviolet frequencies. This chemically produced light from the lower abdomen may be yellow, green, or pale red, with wavelengths from 510 to 670 nanometers. [ 2]About 2,100 species of fireflies are found in temperate and tropical climates. Many are in marshes or in wet, wooded areas where their larvae have abundant sources of food. Their larvae emit light and often are called \"\" glowworms \"\" in Eurasia and elsewhere. In the Americas, \"\"glow worm\"\" also refers to the related Phengodidae. In New Zealand and Australia the term \"\"glow worm\"\" is in use for the luminescent larvae of the fungus gnat Arachnocampa [3]. In many species of fireflies, both male and female fireflies have the ability to fly, but in some species, the females are flightless. ["

Within the genus, there are two groups of owl monkeys, the gray-necked ( lemurinus and subspecies, hershkovitzi, trivirgatus, and vociferans ), found north of the Rio Amazonas (Amazon River) and the red-necked ( miconax, nancymaae , nigriceps, azarae and subspecies), found south of the Rio Amazonas (Groves 2001). Because this change in taxonomy was introduced fairly recently and is disputed, some published research continues to refer to the entire group as A. trivirgatus rather than distinguishing among species and subspecies. It may be necessary to generalize about some of the characteristics of owl monkeys because of the confusion of taxonomy in the literature in addition to the limited published information about this taxonomic group (Wright 1994; Sussman 2000). MORPHOLOGYSeparated into two groups based on their coloration, karyotype, and geographic distribution, owl monkeys have gray-tan to brown bodies and either gray or red fur on the sides of their necks (Ford 1994). They have pale yellow to orange fur on their stomachs, underarms, and inner legs, light gray to white markings above and below their eyes, and three conspicuous, black stripes from the top of their head to either side of each eye and straight down the forehead between the eyes to the bridge of the nose (Ford 1994; Rowe 1996; Groves 2001). Their coats range in thickness and length depending on the altitudes at which they are found, with species living at higher elevations having thicker, shaggier coats than those living at sea level (Wright 1981; Groves 2001). They are unusual in their appearance compared to other primates because of their disproportionately large, brown eyes which have evolved as an adaptation to their nocturnal lifestyles. All owl monkeys are at least somewhat nocturnal and they are the only New World monkeys active at night (Wright 1994). While a nocturnal lifestyle is associated with primitive primates like prosimians, owl monkeys are not primitive but rather they re-evolved nocturnality from diurnal ancestors (Wright 1994; Rowe 1996)."

The word \"\"nocturnal\"\" means that an animal is active (foraging, hunting) primarily at night. Examples are owls, bats, and some mammals that avoid daytime predators. The term \"\"diurnal\"\" means that an animal is active during the daytime, and normally sleeps at night. Many birds and mammals are diurnal.

Characterized by their long slender bodies, short limbs, short, round ears, thick fur, and sharp teeth, these efficient predators are can be found all over the world (with the exception of Australia and Antarctica), and vary in habitat, from primarily aquatic species, such as the Sea Otter on the west coast of the US to the arboreal Marten, which can be found in our region. Mustelids are primarily carnivorous although some have been known to supplement their diets with plant matter. Oddly enough the smaller of the weasels often attack and kill prey, such as rabbits and birds, much larger in size. Mustelid fur is prized for its thickness and texture. The Mink, also found in this region, being one of the most prized for its coat. Trapping weasels for fur has been a human tradition since prehistoric times, was one of the biggest economies during colonial America, and still continues today, legally and illegally, in New York State. Some Interesting Facts:♦ A common household pet, the ferret, is a Mustelid, domesticated 2,500 years ago in Europe. ♦ Weasels have been brought into many non-native habitats and a non-destructive means for controlling rabbit populations. ♦ A group of weasels can be called a boogle, gang, pack, and confusion."

"text": "Are Hedgehogs Nocturnal, Crepuscular, or Diurnal? Jun 6, 2013 by Millermeade Farms Nocturnal vs. Crepuscular vs. Diurnal Animals can generally be described as nocturnal, crepuscular, or diurnal, based on the time of day they are awake. These terms can basically be defined as follows: Nocturnal—Animals that are awake primarily at night Crepuscular—Animals that are awake during late evening and early morning Diurnal—Animals that are awake during the day Some hedgehogs may exhibit crepuscular activity, meaning they are active in early morning and early evening, but hedgehogs are considered to be primarily nocturnal. No matter how the hedgehog is technically defined or described, each is going to have its own schedule of activities or routine. Built for the Dark Many hedgehog experts and enthusiasts agree that hedgehog senses are adapted to work best at night. Whether naturally active at night only or at dawn and dusk, the point is that hedgehogs are active when the levels of light are very low or even pitch black. Hedgehog activity typically is not determined by the hour of the day, but rather by the level of light. Hedgehogs have very poor eyesight so their other senses are sharper to compensate for this weakness. Generally speaking, the world is much more calm and quiet during the night. Hedgehogs are naturally timid and afraid of new things, such as strange smells or sounds."

These animals are unique to the island and display a range of interesting behaviors from singing like a whale (the indri) to sashaying across the sand like a ballet dancer (the sifaka). Below you will learn more about these fascinating creatures. Lemur history Madagascar lacks the dominant form of primate distributed worldwide, those of the suborder Haplorhini (monkeys, chimps, gorillas, and Homo sapiens). Instead, their niche has been filled by an older group of primates, the lemurs. Lemurs belong to the sub-order Strepsirhini together with bushbabies, lorises, and pottos which—like the original lemurs—are nocturnal, insectivorous primates characterized by a small body, a long nose, and large eyes. Lemurs have an interesting evolutionary history and the only reason they still exist today is because of Madagascar's isolation. Until around 160 million years ago, Madagascar was attached to the African mainland as part of the super continent Gondwanaland (formed of Africa, South America, Australia, Antarctica, India, and Madagascar). As Gondwanaland broke apart, Madgascar moved away from Africa. The first lemur-like primates on the fossil record appeared roughly 60 million years ago in mainland Africa and crossed over to Madagascar shortly thereafter."

Some species of the family Dendrobatidae exhibit extremely bright coloration along with high toxicity, while others have cryptic coloration with minimal to no amount of observed toxicity.

"text": "\"Crepuscular, diurnal, and nocturnal are terms which are used to describe the period of the day during which an animal is active. Many animals develop distinctive behavioral patterns which are part of their overall adaptation to the environments that they live in. Periods of activity tend to be easy for biologists to observe, and they are commonly used as tools to assess whether or not animals are stressed, frustrated, or pressured into unusual behavior. Knowledge about when an animal is supposed to be active can also be used as an indicator to suggest that an animal might be sick; owls, for example, are usually seen at night, making an owl a cause for concern if it is seen at noon. When an animal is said to be crepuscular, it is active during the twilight hours at dawn and dusk. The word \"\"crepuscular\"\" is derived from a Latin word which means \"\"twilight.\"\" Many animals take advantage of the twilight to feed, seek out water, and engage in other behaviors because they know that predators are not as active in the twilight. Visibility is also challenging at dawn and dusk, making it easier for animals to hide from potential threats. Rabbits and cats are both famously crepuscular. Ad Nocturnal animals, on the other hand, only come out at night."

Behavior Most sasquatches are observed walking, and the observer almost invariably comments on their smooth, long and fluent stride (\"\"like cross country skiing\"\" or \"\"like riding a bicycle\"\") with wide arm swings. This effect is produced by their so-called compliant gait, meaning that they do not lock their knees during a step but keep them bent and thereby suppress the up-and-down oscillations of the upper body that is so characteristic of the human gait. Part of the sasquatch gait is a high foot rise in back during the swing phase and a longer bipedal contact with the ground. Step length averages 5’ ( Fig. 14 ), an interval that is uncomfortable or impossible to duplicate or sustain for any distance by a would-be hoaxer. The gait has very little straddle, i.e., feet are put in line. Running sasquatches constitute about 10% of all sightings. From observed walking cadence, step length and reports of animals running alongside moving vehicles, their top speed probably rivals that of a running horse (near 40 mph). The step length (measured from heel to heel) changes little whether the animal walks on the level or uphill."

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

"text": "\"Home History of Pretoria History of Pretoria In 1855, Pretoria was founded by Marthinus Pretorius, a Voortrekker leader. His intention was to name it after his father, Andries, who was instrumental in the Voortrekker victory over the Zulus in the monumental Battle of Blood River. It took some time to settle on a name for the new town though, options like \"\"Pretoriusdorp\"\", \"\"Pretorium\"\", \"\"Pretoriusstad\"\" and \"\"Pretoria-Philadelphia\"\" were all considered, but Marthinus finally settled on Pretoria. Today the area has been renamed the City of Tshwane, but the CBD still keeps the name of Pretoria. Pretoria continues as the administrative capital of South Africa.

Despite it mainly being a governmentally significant city, it is also alive with culture, housing many museums, monuments and theatres. The area was originally occupied by Ndebele in the early 1600s, but it wasn't until 1840, when the first Afrikaans settlers arrived, that the area was established as a permanent settlement. Pretoria has been recognised as an important place since early in its history. In 1860, a mere 5 years after its founding, it became the capital of the Independent Republic of the Transvaal."

Lophira laceolata is a tree that is more resistant to fire. Fauna The mixture of forest and grassland provide habitat for a range of species from large mammals such as African leopard, forest elephants, hippopotamus and antelopes such as the red-flanked duiker to the common tortoise as well as more localised species including patas monkeys and Ghana worm lizards ( Amphisbaenia ).

Ambohimanga is a hill and traditional fortified royal settlement ( rova) in Madagascar, located approximately 24 kilometers (15 mi) northeast of the capital city of Antananarivo. The hill and the rova that stands on top are considered the most significant symbol of the cultural identity of the Merina people and the most important and best-preserved monument of the precolonial Merina Kingdom. The walled historic village includes residences and burial sites of several key monarchs. The site, one of the twelve sacred hills of Imerina, is associated with strong feelings of national identity and has maintained its spiritual and sacred character both in ritual practice and the popular imagination for at least four hundred years. It remains a place of worship to which pilgrims come from Madagascar and elsewhere. The site has been politically important since the early 18th century, when King Andriamasinavalona (1675–1710) divided the Kingdom of Imerina into four quadrants and assigned his son Andriantsimitoviaminiandriana to govern the northeastern quadrant, Avaradrano, from its newly designated capital at Ambohimanga. The division of Imerina led to 77 years of civil war, during which time the successive rulers of Avaradrano led military campaigns to expand their territory while undertaking modifications to the defenses at Ambohimanga to better protect it against attacks. The war was ended from Ambohimanga by King Andrianampoinimerina, who successfully undertook negotiations and military campaigns that reunited Imerina under his rule by 1793. Upon capturing the historic capital of Imerina at Antananarivo, Andrianampoinimerina shifted his royal court and all political functions back to its original locus at Antananarivo's royal compound and declared the two cities of equal importance, with Ambohimanga as the kingdom's spiritual capital."

Biblical Account and Commentary Preface The Hebrews, nomadic branch of the Semites, were enslaved in Egypt for centuries till their exodus c.14th century BC guided by Moses. He, though an offspring of Hebrew slaves, was educated at the royal Pharaonic court under the patronage of an Egyptian princess. Biblical records, if to be trusted for historical references, indicate that he lead the Hebrews out of bondage in Egypt and through the Sinai desert on their way to southern Canaan/Phoenicia. Egyptian Stand on Race As a people, the Egyptians had a very racist and antagonistic stand vis-à-vis all other races. They considered Semitic Hebrews, Canaanites, Libyans, Black Nubians (even though Nubian Pharaohs ruled Egypt for 100 years), Ethiopians and other non-Egyptians as sub-human. Hence, they treated the aforesaid Hebrew nomads with disdain. It is, therefore, safe to say that most Hebrews in Egypt were not permitted to rise as a people and they suffered in ignorance and poverty. Forty Years in the Desert On their way out of Egypt, the Hebrews spent 40 years wandering in the desert of Sinai. During this time all who left Egypt died, including Moses himself who saw the \"\"promised\"\" land but did not live long enough to enter it."

In Japan, the flowering cherry tree or \"\"Sakura,\"\" as it is called by the Japanese people, is one of the most exalted flowering plants. The beauty of the cherry blossom is a potent symbol equated with evanescence of human life and epitomizes the transformations Japanese Culture has undergone through the ages. The date when the Yoshino cherry blossoms reach peak bloom varies from year to year, depending on weather conditions. For the past century, people from all over the world have gathered in Washington, DC to welcome the arrival of spring and to share the special season with each other."

It grows to a height of 8 m (26 ft) and has phyllodes (flattened leaf stalks) instead of true leaves. Sickle -shaped, these are between 9 and 15 cm ( 3 1⁄ 2 and 6 in) long, and 1–3.5 cm ( 1⁄ 2 – 1 1⁄ 2 in) wide. The profuse fragrant, golden flowers appear in late winter and spring, followed by long seed pods. Plants are cross-pollinated by several species of honeyeater and thornbill, which visit nectaries on the phyllodes and brush against flowers, transferring pollen between them. An understorey plant in eucalyptus forest, it is found from southern New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, through Victoria and into southeastern South Australia. Explorer Thomas Mitchell collected the type specimen, from which George Bentham wrote the species description in 1842. No subspecies are recognised.

In this primer, we will introduce some basic botany terms, discuss secondary growth, outline changes in the plant body during secondary growth, and look at wood structure. While creating this review, we kept you, the dendrochronologist, in mind. Introduction The primary plant body consists of roots, leaves, and stems. As dendrochronologists, we are most interested in stems (although some very interesting dendrochronological work has been performed with roots). Stems serve several functions such as support and conduction. When we look at tree rings, we are looking at some of the conductive and supportive structures that are produced in a stem."

Germination - seed contains embryo in stage of arrested development - germination = resumption of growth; process governed by environmental factors and genes - environmental factors: no. of hours of daylight, availablity of water, soil temperature, oxygen levels; example: imbibing water needed to cause seed coat to split --> more oxygen reaches embryo to allow aerobic metabolism - root cells activated first (usually) --> cell division and elongation --> primary root breaks through seed coat (= end of germination 2. Primary growth patterns - cell division increases capacity for growth, but only about 1/2 of daughter cells undergo enlargement [Text fig. p. 532] - water uptake drives cell enlargement; when plant cell enlarges, cell wall thickened by polysaccharide deposits - selective expression of genes results in differentiation of daughter cells and determines specifics of subsequent growth; descendent cells divide in prsecribed planes and expand in specific directions --> plant parts of specific shapes, functions (e.g., leaf formation) - plant hormones produced when some cells express genes for those hormones 3.

Buried in soil many people never see them, yet their presence and functions are critical to the plant and to our own survival. Roots produce their own lateral branch roots to form an expanding network of cylindrical structures that penetrate soil, anchor the plant, mine the soil of minerals, and drain the soil of water for use by the plant. The Root Apex The apex is where the root grows. Near the tip is where new cells are made and recently-made cells elongate. This growth in length by cell number and cell length is how the root makes its way through soil and may find untapped minerals and water. The expanded network of roots provides better anchorage too. So a discussion of roots generally needs to start with the apical growth of roots. Here is a micrograph of the longitudinal section of a root apex.

These two tissues extend from the leaves to the roots, and are vital conduits for water and nutrient transport. In a sense, they are to plants what veins and arteries are to animals. The structure of xylem and phloem tissue depends on whether the plant is a flowering plant (including dicots and monocots) or a gymnosperm (polycots). The terms dicot, monocot and polycot are summarized in the following table. Class Monocotyledoneae: Monocots Flower parts in 3's or multiple of 3's; one cotyledon inside seed; parallel leaf venation; includes Lilium, Amaryllis, Iris, Agave, Yucca, orchids, duckweeds, annual grasses, bamboos and palms. Class Dicotyledoneae: Dicots Flower parts in 4's or 5's; 2 cotyledons inside seed; branched or net leaf venation; contains the most species of flowering herbs, shrubs and trees; includes roses ( Rosa ), buttercups ( Ranunculus ), clover ( Trifolium ), maple ( Acer ), basswood ( Tilia ), oak ( Quercus ), willow ( Salix ), kapok ( Ceiba) and many more species. Gymnosperms: Plants With Naked Seeds Gymnosperms include pines ( Pinus ), spruce ( Picea ), fir ( Abies ), hemlock ( Tsuga) and false hemlock ( Pseudotsuga ). Some of the coniferous genera (division Coniferophyta) are the most important timber trees in the world. Since these species have several cotyledons inside their seeds, they are conveniently referred to as polycots."

Science Faction/Super Stock By definition, tissues are absent from unicellular organisms. Even among the simplest multicellular species, such as sponges, tissues are lacking or are poorly differentiated. But multicellular animals and plants that are more advanced have specialized tissues that can organize and regulate an organism’s response to its environment. Plants Bryophytes (liverworts, hornworts, and mosses) are nonvascular plants; i.e., they lack vascular tissues (phloem and xylem) as well as true leaves, stems, and roots. Instead bryophytes absorb water and nutrients directly through leaflike and stemlike structures or through cells comprising the gametophyte body. In vascular plants, such as angiosperms and gymnosperms, cell division takes place almost exclusively in specific tissues known as meristems. Apical meristems, which are located at the tips of shoots and roots in all vascular plants, give rise to three types of primary meristems, which in turn produce the mature primary tissues of the plant. The three kinds of mature tissues are dermal, vascular, and ground tissues. Primary dermal tissues, called epidermis, make up the outer layer of all plant organs (e.g., stems, roots, leaves, flowers)."

Plants are composed of specialized cells and tissues In plants, the formation of new cells, tissues and organs is restricted almost entirely to regions known as meristems Meristems: There are 3 main types of meristematic tissue in vascular seed plants —- apical, intercalary, & lateral meristems Apical Meristem occur at the tips of roots and shoots and are responsible for the length-wise extension of the plant body known as primary growth Cells in apical meristems are produced by mitosis & then differentiate into specialized cells & tissues The apical meristem gives rise to 3 primary meristems — Protoderm (gives rise to outer covering of plant), Procambium (gives rise to vascular tissue), and Ground meristem (gives rise to the 3 types of plant cells)Root Tip with Meristems Some monocots, such as grasses & bamboo, have intercalary meristems located above the bases of leaves and stems allowing them to regrow quickly after being cut down Woody plants have meristem between xylem & phloem to produce wood Lateral meristems produce outward growth in plants or secondary growth Lateral meristems are called cambium (cambia, plural)Vascular cambium makes wood & vascular tissues and cork cambium makes cork & bark Plants without lateral meristems have only primary, not secondary growth and are called herbaceous plants Specialized Plant Cells: Plants have 3 basic types of cells — parenchyma, collenchyma, & sclerenchyma Parenchyma cells are the most abundant & least specialized Parenchyma are loosely-packed, cube shaped or elongate cells with a large central vacuole & thin cell walls Parenchyma Cells Parenchyma cells can specialize for various functions (storage, photosynthesis, etc. ) Parenchyma form the bulk of non-woody plants such as the fleshy part of an apple Collenchyma cells are irregular in shape with thicker cell walls & support the growing parts of plants Collenchyma cells Collenchyma cell walls are also flexible to support new growth regions of the plant (example: tough strings on a celery stalk)Sclerenchyma cells support non-growing parts of plants because they have thick, rigid, non-stretchable cell walls Sclerenchyma Cells Sclerenchyma cells often die at maturity leaving empty, box-like structures Two types of sclerenchyma cells are fibers & sclereids Fibers are cells up to 50cm long that usually occur in strands such as linen & flax Sclerenchyma Fibers Sclereids have thicker cell walls & come in many shapes Sclereids may be single cells or groups of cells and give pears their gritty texture & give hardness to peach pits & walnut shells Other Plant Tissues & Systems: Tissues are groups of cells with similar structures & functions Plants have 3 tissue systems — ground, dermal, and vascular tissues Plant tissues make up the main organs of a plant — root, stem, leaf, & flower Ground tissue makes up most of the plant’s body, dermal tissue covers the outside of the plant, & vascular tissue conducts water & nutrients Dermal Tissue: Covers the plant body and consists of epidermis in young plants & non-woody plants that is replaced later by periderm in woody plant Epidermis is made of parenchyma cells in a single layer Epidermis on stem and leaves prevents water loss by transpiration & produces a waxy material called cuticle Epidermis Of a Leaf Epidermal cells on roots form extensions called root hairs to absorb H20 & nutrients Openings in the epidermis on the underside of a leaf where gases are exchanged are called stomata (stoma, singular)Sausage-shaped guard cells are found on each side of the stoma to help open and close the pore to prevent water loss Dead cork cells replace epidermis in woody stems & roots Ground Tissue: Ground tissue constitutes the majority of the plant body and contains parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma cells Ground tissue of the leaf (called mesophyll) uses the energy in sunlight to synthesize sugars in a process known as photosynthesis Spongy Mesophyll of Leaf Ground tissue of the stem (called pith and cortex) develops support cells to hold the young plant upright Ground tissue of the root (also called cortex) often stores energy- rich carbohydrates Vascular Tissue: Vascular tissues transport water and dissolved substances inside the plant and helps support the stem The 2 types of vascular tissue are xylem & phloem Xylem carries water and dissolved ions from the roots to stems and leaves Phloem carries dissolved sugars from the leaves to all other parts of the plant Xylem has 2 kinds of conducting cells — tracheids & vessel elements Xylem Cells Tracheids are long, narrow sclerenchyma cells with walls and pits for water to move between them Vessel elements are short, wide sclerenchyma cells without end walls stacked on top of each other Angiosperms (flowering plants) have tracheids & vessel elements, while gymnosperms (cone bearers) only have tracheids Phloem moves sap (dissolved sugars & minerals) from source (where they are made) to sink (where they will be used)Phloem Cells Phloem is made of cells called sieve tube members and companion cellssieve tube members are stacked to form tubes called sieve tubes with porous sieve plates between the cells for movement of sugars Companion cells are along each sieve tube member & help in loading sugar into the sieve tube Root System: Roots grow underground (subterranean part of the plant)Roots have 3 main functions — (1)anchor plants (2) absorb and conduct water & minerals (3) store food Root & Shoot System of a Plant The first root to emerge from the most seeds is called the primary root or taproot & can grow deep to reach water Taproots may store food (carrot & beet)Taproot Monocots have highly branched, roots called fibrous roots that grow near the surface & spread out to collect water Fibrous roots such as in grasses often help prevent erosion Fibrous Roots Adventitious roots grow from a stem or leaf above ground in some plants and serve to prop up or support the plant (corn)Adventitious Roots Aerial roots obtain water & minerals from the air & enable the plant to climb (orchids & ivy)Aerial Roots of an Orchid Structure of the Root: Root cap covers the apical meristem (growth tissue) at the tip of the root & produces a slimy substance so roots can more easily grow through the ground Apical meristem replaces cells of the root cap as they are damaged Root Structure Epidermis covers the outside of the root & has extensions called root hairs that absorb water & minerals and increase the surface area of the root Root Hairs The core of the root is called the vascular cylinder & contains xylem & phloem A band of ground tissue called cortex surrounds the vascular cylinder A single cell layer called endodermis separates the cortex & vascular tissue Endodermal cells are coated with a waxy layer called the Casparian strip so water is channeled into the vascular tissue The Pericycle is the outermost layer central vascular tissue & forms lateral roots Vascular tissue in dicots is at the center of the root In monocots, vascular tissue forms a ring around pith at the root center Secondary growth begins when the vascular cambium forms between Xylem and Phloem Vascular Cambium produces secondary xylem toward the inside of the root and secondary phloem toward the outside Root Functions: Anchor plants Absorb water & nutrients (13 essential)May store carbohydrates (carrots, potatoes, turnips)May store water for dry periods Plant Cells use minerals, such as nitrogen and potassium in LARGE amounts; called macronutrients Minerals needed in SMALL amounts are called micronutrients Mineral deficiencies or excess minerals can kill plants Stem Structure & Function: Adapted to support leaves Transport water & minerals Transport sugars (usually sucrose) from Source (where they’re made) to Sink (where they’re stored)Movement of sugars is called translocation Store food and/or water Tubers (potatoes) underground food storage stems Stems grow from the tip or apical meristem Stems increase in circumference by lateral meristems Leaves are attached to stems at nodes & have lateral buds that can develop into new stems or branches Internode is space between nodes on a stem The tip of each stem usually has a Terminal Bud enclosed by specialized leaves called Bud Scales Vascular Tissue is arranged in bundles with xylem

Stems and their function A stem is a collection of integrated tissues arranged as nodes and internodes. ����������� Nodes - regions where leaves attach to stems. ����������� Internodes - parts of the stem between successive nodes. A cross section of a dicot stem would reveal:����������������������� a. An epidermis to the outside (covered by a cuticle, a waxy layer that reduces water loss from the surface). ����������������������� b. Inside the epidermis is the cortex, a layer several cells thick that is part of the plant�s ground tissue system, containing parenchyma, collenchyma , and sclerenchyma cells. From these cells we can see the stem provides 3 functions: photosynthesis, storage, and support. ����������������������� c. The vascular tissue provides conductance and support."

Learning Objectives Evaluate the evolution of seedless vascular plants Key Takeaways Key Points The life cycle of seedless vascular plants alternates between a diploid sporophyte and a haploid gametophyte phase. Seedless vascular plants reproduce through unicellular, haploid spores instead of seeds; the lightweight spores allow for easy dispersion in the wind. Seedless vascular plants require water for sperm motility during reproduction and, thus, are often found in moist environments. Key Termsgametophyte: a plant (or the haploid phase in its life cycle) that produces gametes by mitosis in order to produce a zygotesporophyte: a plant (or the diploid phase in its life cycle) that produces spores by meiosis in order to produce gametophytestracheophyte: any plant possessing vascular tissue (xylem and phloem), including ferns, conifers, and flowering plants Seedless Vascular Plants The vascular plants, or tracheophytes, are the dominant and most conspicuous group of land plants. They contain tissue that transports water and other substances throughout the plant. More than 260,000 species of tracheophytes represent more than 90 percent of the earth’s vegetation. By the late Devonian period, plants had evolved vascular tissue, well-defined leaves, and root systems. With these advantages, plants increased in height and size and were able to spread to all habitats. Seedless vascular plants are plants that contain vascular tissue, but do not produce flowers or seeds."

The only conifers native to the British Isles are the yew tree, the juniper bush and the Scot's Pine. This article will focus primarily on the Scot's Pine ( Pinus sylvestris) which forms part of the ancient Caledonian Forest fragments in Scotland, along with birch and aspen trees.

Plants are able to continue growing indefinitely like this due to specialized tissues called meristems, which are regions of continuous cell division and growth. Meristematic tissue cells are either undifferentiated or incompletely differentiated, and they continue to produce cells that quickly differentiate, or specialize, and become permanent tissues (dermal, ground, and vascular). Meristematic tissues consist of three types, based on their location in the plant. Apical meristems contain meristematic tissue located at the tips of stems and roots, which enable a plant to extend in length. Lateral meristems facilitate growth in thickness or girth in a maturing plant. Intercalary (also called basal) meristems occur only in some monocots, at the bases of leaf blades and at nodes (the areas where leaves attach to a stem). This tissue enables the monocot leaf blade to increase in length from the leaf base; for example, it allows lawn grass leaves to elongate even after repeated grazing or mowing. Meristems contribute to both primary (taller/longer) and secondary (wider) growth. Primary growth is controlled by root apical meristems or shoot apical meristems, while secondary growth is controlled by the two lateral meristems, called the vascular cambium and the cork cambium."

"text": "Transport in Plants Carbon Fixation by Roots The main source of carbon for plants comes from the atmosphere as carbon dioxide and fixation of this carbon dioxide by leaves and other green parts of the shoot system in the presence of light as an energy source - the process of photosynthesis. Some of this fixed carbon is converted into fuels for respiration, such as glucose, some is stored as compact materials like starch, and some is used in building blocks, such as proteins, nucelotides and phospholipids, to build the plant body. Fixation is an odd word, and one that stems all the way back to alchemy. It makes perfect sense, however, when you think of gases as mobile, with their molecules constantly moving around by diffusion due to their thermal kinetic energy. Fixation means to render less mobile, and was historically depicted by clipping the 'wings' of the gaseous or volatile substance (by converting it into a solid or non-volatile liquid, for example). However, it is a little known fact that roots can also fix carbon. Roots do not photosynthesise, however, and they fix carbon in the absence of light with the use of enzymes. Ordinarily roots only fix enough carbon for their own secretory activities, with the bulk of carbon fixation occurring in the shoot system. Root-fixed carbon is used, for example, to produce root secretions which leak into the soil around the roots (the rhizosphere). These secretions probably have various functions, but appear to encourage plant-friendly microbes, signaling to mycorhizal fungi, for example, advertising the root and encouraging the fungus to form a symbiosis with it."

Once known as familial tremor, benign tremor or hereditary tremor, essential tremor (ET) is a neurological condition that causes a rhythmic trembling of the hands, head, voice, legs or trunk. Some people even feel an internal shake. ET is often confused with Parkinson’s disease although it’s eight times more common, affecting an estimated 10 million Americans and millions more worldwide. But essential tremor is more than just a tremor. Because of stereotypes and a lack of awareness, many people with ET never seek medical care.

As with all things, there will be different opinions as to which category a particular defect is assigned to. The availability of medical or surgical care may be a factor in many regions; country-specific legislation also plays a part. The definitions used here are those in current usage by cat breeders and veterinarians. Researchers working independently of each other may use different terms for what is later found to be the same syndrome or anomaly and have slightly different descriptions. The list of genetic anomalies continues to grow with better reporting and better genetic screening. CATEGORYSUB-DIVISIONLETHALClassical Lethal: kittens die in utero or are reabsorbed Teratological lethal: kittens are stillborn or die shortly after birth (major birth defects; \"\"teratological\"\" means \"\"monster-like\"\") Deferred lethal (sub-lethal, semi-lethal): lethal if the kitten inherits 2 copies of the mutated gene, impairing or not evident if only 1 copy is inherited (e.g. Manx mutation, polycystic kidney disease [PKD])IMPAIRINGNon-lethal, non-cosmetic, but difficult or impossible to control with medicine or surgery at the current state of knowledge. Non-lethal, non-cosmetic, but requires surgery to give cat good quality of life (e.g. mild cleft palate) Non-lethal, non-cosmetic, but requires long-term or lifelong medical treatment COSMETICCosmetic with medical or physical repercussions Cosmetic, but cat can live healthy life without surgery or medical treatment, but with some limitations e.g. indoor only Cosmetic with no known medical or physical repercussions In genetics-speak, mutations are often referred to as \"\"defects\"\" as they are different from normal. Since one person's defect is another person's breed trait, the term \"\"anomaly\"\" is preferred by breeders. Genetic anomalies are most often noted in purebreds for several reasons: Purebreds have pedigrees maintained over 3 or more generations making familial links easier to identify; some breeds are based on genetic anomalies."

Synonyms of Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy Leber's optic atrophy Leber's optic neuropathy LHONGeneral Discussion Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is mainly characterized by bilateral, painless subacute loss of central vision during young adult life. In most cases, symptoms begin with one eye first, followed a few weeks later by visual failure in the other eye. Extremely rarely there may be neurologic abnormalities, such as peripheral neuropathy, postural tremor, nonspecific myopathy, and movement disorders. LHON is caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA and it is transmitted by maternal inheritance. LHON affects approximately 1:50,000 people. Many carriers never suffer significant visual loss; males are about four to five times more likely than females to be affected. Signs & Symptoms Individuals with LHON typically display symptoms in their young adult years. If vision is lost, then it usually occurs before 40 years of age. The acute phase of LHON is characterized by a loss of central vision, including blurring and reduced perception of color."

It is regarded as a medical emergency independent of its cause, and requires swift diagnosis and treatment to prevent long-term disability due to irreversible spinal cord injury. Contents [ hide ]1 Signs and symptoms2 Diagnosis3 Treatment and prognosis4 References Signs and symptoms [ edit]Symptoms suggestive of cord compression are back pain, a dermatome of increased sensation, paralysis of limbs below the level of compression, decreased sensation below the level of compression, urinary and fecal incontinence and/or urinary retention. Lhermitte's sign (intermittent shooting electrical sensation) and hyperreflexia may be present. Diagnosis [ edit]Diagnosis is by X-rays but preferably magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the whole spine. [ 1] The most common causes of cord compression are tumors, but abscesses and granulomas (e.g. in tuberculosis) are equally capable of producing the syndrome. Tumors that commonly cause cord compression are lung cancer (non-small cell type), breast cancer, prostate cancer, renal cell carcinoma, thyroid cancer, lymphoma and multiple myeloma. Treatment and prognosis [ edit]Dexamethasone (a potent glucocorticoid) in doses of 16 mg/day may reduce edema around the lesion and protect the cord from injury. It may be given orally or intravenously for this indication. Surgery is indicated in localised compression as long as there is some hope of regaining function."

Description Though it seems simple and effortless, normal movement in fact requires an astonishingly complex system of control. Disruption of any portion of this system can cause a person to produce movements that are too weak, too forceful, too uncoordinated, or too poorly controlled for the task at hand. Unwanted movements may occur at rest. Intentional movement may become impossible. Such conditions are called movement disorders. Abnormal movements themselves are symptoms of underlying disorders. In some cases, the abnormal movements are the only symptoms. Disorders causing abnormal movements include: Parkinson's disease Parkinsonism caused by drugs or poisons Parkinson-plus syndromes (progressive supranuclear palsy, multiple system atrophy, and cortical-basal ganglionic degeneration)Huntington's disease Wilson's disease Inherited ataxias (Friedreich's ataxia, Machado-Joseph disease, and spinocerebellar ataxias)Tourette syndrome and other tic disorders Essential tremor Restless leg syndrome Dystonia Stroke Cerebral palsy Encephalopathies Intoxication Poisoning by carbon monoxide, cyanide, methanol, or manganese.

Exposure to toxic substances can lead to a variety of symptoms, characterized by an altered mental status, memory loss, and visual problems. Toxic encephalopathy can be caused by various chemicals, some of which are commonly used in everyday life, or cyanotoxins which are bio-accumulated from Harmful algal blooms (HAB's) which have settled on the benthic layer of a waterbody. Toxic encephalopathy can permanently damage the brain and currently treatment is mainly just for the symptoms.

The most prominent characteristic of toxic encephalopathy is an altered mental status. Acute intoxication is a reversible symptom of exposure to many synthetic chemical neurotoxicants. Acute intoxication symptoms include lightheadedness, dizziness, headache and nausea, and regular cumulative exposure to these toxic solvents over a number of years puts the individual at high risk for developing toxic encephalopathy. Chronic exposure to low levels of neurotoxic chemicals can also cause reversible changes in mood and affect which resolve with cessation of exposure."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Primary lateral sclerosis This condition is inherited via an autosomal dominant manner [1]Specialty Neurology Primary lateral sclerosis ( PLS) is a rare neuromuscular disease characterized by progressive muscle weakness in the voluntary muscles. PLS belongs to a group of disorders known as motor neuron diseases. Motor neuron diseases develop when the nerve cells that control voluntary muscle movement degenerate and die, causing weakness in the muscles they control. PLS only affects upper motor neurons. [ 2] There is no evidence of the degeneration of spinal motor neurons or muscle wasting ( amyotrophy) that occurs in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Contents1 Symptoms and progression1.1 Spasticity2 Cause3 Diagnosis4 Treatment5 Prognosis6 References7 External links Symptoms and progression [ edit]Onset of PLS usually occurs spontaneously after age 50 and progresses gradually over a number of years, or even decades. The disorder usually begins in the legs, but it may start in the tongue or the hands. Symptoms may include difficulty with balance, weakness and stiffness in the legs, and clumsiness. Other common symptoms are spasticity (involuntary muscle contraction due to the stretching of muscle, which depends on the velocity of the stretch) in the hands, feet, or legs, foot dragging, and speech and swallowing problems due to involvement of the facial muscles. Breathing may also become compromised in the later stages of the disease, causing those patients who develop ventilatory failure to require noninvasive ventilatory support. ["

Tremor results from contractions of agonist and antagonist muscles entrained by a signal pattern originating from an oscillator in the CNS. Resting tremor occurs in a body part that is not activated and completely supported against gravity. Action tremor refers to tremor occurring with voluntary muscle contraction and is subdivided into postural tremor, isometric tremor and kinetic tremor. The latter is further subdivided into simple kinetic, intention tremor, and task specific tremor, such as writing tremor. The etiology of tremor is diverse, and includes hereditary, degenerative, and idiopathic disorders such as Wilson’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and essential tremor, respectively; metabolic diseases (such as thyroid-, parathyroid-, liver disease and hypoglycemia); peripheral neuropathies (associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth, Roussy-Levy, diabetes mellitus, complex regional pain syndrome); toxins (nicotine, mercury, lead, CO, Manganese, arsenic, toluene); drug-induced (narcoleptics, tricyclics, lithium, cocaine, alcohol, adrenaline, bronchodilators, theophylline, caffeine, steroids, valproate, amiodarone, thyroid hormones, vincristine); and psychogenic disorders. Clinically tremor can be classified into physiologic tremor, enhanced physiologic tremor, essential tremor syndromes (including classical ET, primary orthostatic tremor, and task- and position-specific tremor), dystonic tremor, parkinsonian tremor, cerebellar tremor (often associated with multiple sclerosis), Holmes’ tremor (a.k.a. rubral tremor), palatal tremor, neuropathic tremor, toxic or drug-induced tremor, and psychogenic tremor. Essential Tremor Contributed by Hubert Fernandez, MD Head, Movement Disorders Department of Neurology Cleveland Clinic Cleveland, Ohio USAEssential tremor (ET) is the most common tremor syndrome seen in adults. The characteristic tremor seen in ET is postural and action tremors, with a frequency of 4-7 Hz."

"text": "\"tricyclic antidepressants Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus. Related to tricyclic antidepressants: SSRIAntidepressants, Tricyclic Definition Tricyclic antidepressants are medicines that relieve mental depression. Purpose Since their discovery in the 1950s, tricyclic antidepressants have been used to treat mentaldepression. Like other antidepressant drugs, they reduce symptoms such as extremesadness, hopelessness, and lack of energy. Some tricyclic antidepressants are also used to treat bulimia, cocaine withdrawal, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorders, certaintypes of chronic pain, and bed-wetting in children. Description Named for their three-ring chemical structure, tricyclic antidepressants work by correctingchemical imbalances in the brain. But because they also affect other chemicals throughout thebody, these drugs may produce many unwanted side effects. Tricyclic antidepressants are available only with a physician's prescription and are sold in tablet,capsule, liquid, and injectable forms. Some commonly used tricyclic antidepressants areamitriptyline (Elavil), desipramine (Norpramin), imipramine (Tofranil), nortriptyline (Pamelor), andprotriptyline (Vivactil). Different drugs in this family have different effects, and physicians canchoose the drug that best fits the patient's symptoms."

Anyone considering the use of clomipramine hydrochloride or any other antidepressant in a child, adolescent, or young adult must balance this risk with the clinical need. Short-term studies did not show an increase in the risk of suicidality with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults beyond age 24; there was a reduction in risk with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults aged 65 and older. Depression and certain other psychiatric disorders are themselves associated with increases in the risk of suicide. Patients of all ages who are started on antidepressant therapy should be monitored appropriately and observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Families and caregivers should be advised of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber. Clomipramine hydrochloride is not approved for use in pediatric patients except for patients with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) (see WARNINGS, Clinical Worsening and Suicide Risk; PATIENT INFORMATION; and PRECAUTIONS, Pediatric Use ).

Researchers reviewed 50 studies of 19 different antidepressants in the treatment of pain caused by nerve tissue damage, also known as neuropathic pain. They found that the older class of antidepressants called tricyclics can provide significant pain relief. These include medications such as amitriptyline, imipramine, clomipramine, desipramine, and nortriptyline. Anticonvulsant drugs were also shown to alleviate neuropathic pain. Nerve pain from diabetes, called diabetic neuropathy, occurs after chronically elevated blood sugars damage nerves throughout the body. A complication of shingles called postherpetic neuralgia causes nerve pain for weeks to years after the shingles rash has disappeared. And some cancer treatments -- radiation and some chemotherapy drugs -- can also result in nerve damage. There is limited evidence that newer antidepressants, called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), may also provide neuropathic pain relief. Researchers say more studies are needed before they can be recommended for this use."

Not all headaches require medical attention. Treatment may include education, counseling, stress management, biofeedback, medications, and physical therapy education. The treatment prescribed for you will be tailored to meet your specific needs. Headache education includes identifying and recording what triggers your headache, such as lack of sleep, eating certain foods or additives, caffeine, or stress. Your healthcare provider may give you a headache diary to record the characteristics of your headaches and help you manage headache triggers. Bring the diary with you to all of your doctor appointments; this information will help your healthcare providers correctly treat your headaches. In addition to medical treatment, your doctor may recommend techniques for managing your headaches at home. Read more about these in the section on managing headaches. When your doctor starts a treatment program, keep track of the results and how the treatment program is working."

Tension-type headaches are the most common type of headache, accounting for about half of all headaches. The pain is usually mild-to-moderate in intensity, with a steady pressing or tightening quality (like a vise being squeezed around the head). The headache is not accompanied by nausea or vomiting, and the pain is not increased by routine physical activity such as walking or climbing stairs. A tension-type headache attack can last anywhere from 30 minutes to an entire week. Who Gets Tension-Type Headaches? Women are slightly more likely to get tension-type headaches than men. Nearly everyone will have at least one tension-type headache at some point in their lives and more than a third of people will experience a tension headache each year. Many people who have migraine headaches also have tension-type headaches. What Is The Difference Between Tension-Type Headaches and Migraine Headaches?"

Its mechanism of action in man is not known. It is not a monoamine oxidase inhibitor and it does not act primarily by stimulation of the central nervous system. Amitriptyline inhibits the membrane pump mechanism responsible for uptake of norepinephrine and serotonin in adrenergic and serotonergic neurons. This interference with the reuptake of norepinephrine and/or serotonin is believed by some to underlie the antidepressant activity of amitriptyline.top Indications and Usage For the relief of symptoms of depression. Endogenous depression is more likely to be alleviated than are other depressive states. Amitriptyline, because of its sedative action, is also of value in alleviating the anxiety component of depression."

"text": "Tricyclic antidepressants and tetracyclic antidepressants Tricyclic and tetracyclic antidepressants affect brain chemicals to ease depression symptoms. Explore their possible side effects and whether one of these antidepressants may be a good option for you. By Mayo Clinic Staff Tricyclic and tetracyclic antidepressants, also called cyclic antidepressants, are among the earliest antidepressants developed. They're effective, but they've generally been replaced by antidepressants that cause fewer side effects. However, cyclic antidepressants may be a good option for some people. In certain cases, they relieve depression when other treatments have failed. Cyclic antidepressants are designated as tricyclic or tetracyclic, depending on the number of rings in their chemical structure — three (tri) or four (tetra). How cyclic antidepressants work Cyclic antidepressants ease depression by impacting chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) used to communicate between brain cells. Like most antidepressants, cyclic antidepressants work by ultimately effecting changes in brain chemistry and communication in brain nerve cell circuitry known to regulate mood, to help relieve depression. Cyclic antidepressants block the absorption (reuptake) of the neurotransmitters serotonin (ser-o-TOE-nin) and norepinephrine (nor-ep-ih-NEF-rin), increasing the levels of these two neurotransmitters in the brain."

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 4:28Major depression, aka clinical depression, is a serious mental illness. The first and most critical decision the therapist or doctor must make is whether to hospitalize a patient for treatment of major depression. Clear indications for inpatient major depressive disorder treatment are: Risk of suicide or homicide Grossly reduced ability to care for self in areas of food, shelter, and clothing The need for medical diagnostic procedures A patient with mild to moderate depression can receive depression treatment in the therapist's or doctor's office. The patient's support system (family members, relatives, close friends) should be strengthened and involved in depression treatment whenever possible. Antidepressants for Treatment of Major Depression Studies have shown antidepressant treatment for major depression can dramatically reduce suicide and hospitalization rates. Unfortunately, very few suicide victims receive antidepressants in adequate doses, and - even worse - most receive no clinical depression treatment whatsoever. One of the biggest problems with antidepressant treatment is most patients don't stay on their antidepressant medication long enough for it to be effective. A recent study found only 25% of patients started on antidepressants by their family physician stayed on it longer than one month. Antidepressant treatment of major depressive disorder usually takes 2-4 weeks before any significant improvement appears (and 2-6 months before maximum improvement appears)."

"text": "Antidepressants & Blood Pressure: More Research Print Certain treatments—rather than depression itself—may contribute to hypertension The long-held notion that depression and anxiety can elevate your blood pressure certainly seems plausible. After all, a mood or anxiety disorder—and the toll it takes on your life—leads to chronic stress, which contributes to hypertension. Plus, depression is a known risk factor for heart disease, and it was often assumed that high blood pressure partly explained the link. While recent evidence affirms the link between anxiety and elevated blood pressure, it does not do the same for depression and hypertension. In fact, investigators are finding that people with depression are more likely to have low blood pressure than those without depression. When depressed individuals do have hypertension, it could be caused by certain antidepressant medications—namely tricyclics or serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). The Antidepressant-Hypertension Link Several studies in the past decade have found that, contrary to the prevailing consensus, depression is actually linked with low blood pressure. One of the most recent is a 2009 article published in Hypertension in which researchers in the Netherlands looked at depression and blood pressure in 2,618 adults ages 18 to 65. Scientists divided the participants into three groups: those who had no history of anxiety or depression; those who had depression or anxiety but did not take antidepressants; and those who took antidepressants for depression or anxiety. The majority of the participants on medication (442) took a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), the most popular class of antidepressants that includes fluoxetine (Prozac) and escitalopram (Lexapro)."

Carbohydrates are needed for your body to function well, but eating excessive amounts of carbs can raise triglyceride levels. According to the American Heart Association, high levels of triglycerides, or fats in the blood, are linked to coronary artery disease, diabetes and fatty liver disease. Limiting the amount of carbs you consume, along with other lifestyle changes, will help keep your triglycerides in a healthy range. Triglycerides The fat in your body is stored in the form of triglycerides, which are found in foods and manufactured by your body, according to registered dietitian Joy Bauer. Your triglycerides are typically measured when you get a cholesterol test. High triglyceride levels – 150 milligrams per deciliter or above – make blood thick, sticky and more likely to form clots that could trigger a heart attack or stroke. One study reported by the American Heart Association found that young people with the highest triglycerides levels were four times more likely to develop heart disease than those with the lowest triglyceride levels. The AHA says that cutting down on carbohydrates is one way to lower triglycerides. Carbohydrate-Triglyceride Connection According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, high triglycerides are associated with a diet that is high in carbohydrates, defined as 60 percent of total calories."

The liver lies at the nexus of metabolism and nutrient flow, particularly carbohydrates and proteins. Situated immediately downstream from absorptive surface of the intestines, those nutrients enter the blood in the portal circulation and pass directly to the liver. The major exception is dietary fat, which is absorbed as chylomicrons directly into the lymphatic system where it empties into the bloodstream without first passing the liver. As the major organ responsible for storing and distributing energy, it is naturally the main site of action of the hormone insulin. When carbohydrates and proteins are absorbed, insulin is released from the pancreas. It travels in the portal vein, heading expressly to the liver. Concentrations of glucose and insulin are often 10 times higher in the blood of portal system and liver compared to the rest of the body and the systemic circulation. Insulin promotes storage of food energy for later use. This is crucial in the survival of the species, since food is not constantly available."

D.; Updated July 20, 2017Related Articles Causes & Cures of High Triglycerides How to Get Rid of Triglycerides The Foods to Eat to Lower Trigylcerides\"\"Can Eating Smaller, More Frequent Meals Help Lower Triglycerides? \"\" High blood triglyceride levels are associated with increased risk for heart disease and stroke, and often accompany other conditions such as metabolic syndrome, obesity and uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes. Foods containing high levels of saturated fats and trans-fats contribute most to high triglycerides, and should be avoided if you're trying to get yours under control. Exercise and a healthy diet can usually bring down your weight and reduce high triglycerides to a normal level, but if necessary your physician can prescribe medications to speed the process. Limit Cholesterol and Saturated Fats Circulating in the bloodstream, triglycerides are a type of stored fat comprised of fat and sugar molecules bound together. Triglycerides are closely connected with “good” blood cholesterol, or HDL. They act in much the same way as a see-saw: Any food that lowers HDL tends to raise triglycerides. Foods high in cholesterol and saturated fat elevate triglyceride levels, so limit your intake of fatty red meat, poultry skin, butter, lard, high-fat dairy products and shellfish. Replace these with leaner cuts of meat and polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats such as olive oil, canola oil, avocados, nuts and nut butters and low- or non-fat dairy products. Restrict Trans Fat Intake Foods containing trans fat also raise triglyceride levels."

"text": "\"Organic Compounds Essential to Human Functioning Organic compounds typically consist of groups of carbon atoms covalently bonded to hydrogen, usually oxygen, and often other elements as well. Created by living things, they are found throughout the world, in soils and seas, commercial products, and every cell of the human body. The four types most important to human structure and function are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleotides. Before exploring these compounds, you need to first understand the chemistry of carbon. The Chemistry of Carbon What makes organic compounds ubiquitous is the chemistry of their carbon core. Recall that carbon atoms have four electrons in their valence shell, and that the octet rule dictates that atoms tend to react in such a way as to complete their valence shell with eight electrons. Carbon atoms do not complete their valence shells by donating or accepting four electrons. Instead, they readily share electrons via covalent bonds. Commonly, carbon atoms share with other carbon atoms, often forming a long carbon chain referred to as a carbon skeleton. When they do share, however, they do not share all their electrons exclusively with each other."

"text": "Insulin Resistance Syndrome A Common Cause of Carbohydrate Cravings, Fatigue, Depression and Obesity Many people with fatigue, depression, hypoglycemia, overweight, or sugar/starch cravings are suffering from dysglycemia, which is a disruption in blood sugar metabolism caused primarily by diet. Other conditions that can also be linked to this problem include high blood pressure, some types of high cholesterol, metabolic syndrome, prediabetes, adult onset diabetes, and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Blood sugar problems occur on spectrum of disease with fatigue, depression, hypoglycemia, and cravings at one end, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome in the middle, and prediabetes and adult-onset diabetes at the other end.---------|-----------------------|----------------------|---------------------|---------------------|----------------------|----Hypoglycemia Fatigue Depression Weight gain Insulin resistance Metabolic syndrome Prediabetes Diabetes All of these conditions are caused by the same basic problem, dysglycemia, with where you are on the spectrum indicating the severity of your disease. It is important to point out here that not everyone with fatigue, depression, high cholesterol or high blood pressure has dysglycemia or insulin resistance, but many of them do. Virtually everyone with metabolic syndrome, prediabetes, or adult-onset diabetes, however, does have insulin resistance. Insulin Resistance Insulin resistance occurs when cells which would normally take sugar out of the blood, and hence lower blood sugar, become resistant to the action of insulin. It therefore takes more insulin to keep a person’s blood sugar in check. People with insulin resistance syndrome will consequently have normal blood sugar levels and elevated insulin levels. People with insulin resistance tend to gain weight and suffer from carbohydrate cravings that in some cases can be quite intense. They may not feel satisfied if they eat a meal that doesn’t contain carbohydrates, and they may find it difficult to stop eating carbohydrates once they’ve started, even bingeing at times."

"text": "What Are Triglycerides? Patients usually seek medical attention regarding their cardiac risk when lab tests show their total cholesterol, triglycerides, or blood sugar levels to be high. Most people know a bit about cholesterol (enough to be often frightened by mere mention of the word) and blood sugar. However, most people are left wondering, “what are triglycerides?”. Triglycerides are the most common type of fat found in your body. They come primarily from the carbohydrates – the calorie sources − that you eat. Triglycerides are carried in the bloodstream and distributed to tissues for energy. When you consume an excess of calories from carbohydrates, sugar, and even alcohol; your body stores those triglycerides as fat when their metabolism is insufficient. Abnormally elevated levels of triglycerides in the blood are indicative of an increased risk of inflammation, atherosclerosis, and diabetes. Healthy Triglyceride Levels Triglycerides have a close relationship with HDL cholesterol, a protective form of cholesterol produced by your body."

"text": "\"CYCLING PERFORMANCE TIPSLast updated:11/2/2015EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGYENERGY PRODUCTION IN THE CELL Energy to power muscle contractions is released when oxygen combines with carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in the cell to produce Adenosine Triphosphate or ATP. These are termed oxidation reactions (literally \"\"a combination with oxygen\"\") and are only a few of the many reactions (metabolism) within the cell that maintain cell viability. The amount of energy produced in oxidation reactions is limited by either the amount of oxygen available to the cell for oxidation, or limited fuel (carbohydrates, fats, and protein) to be oxidized. The foods we eat provide these three energy containing compounds: carbohydrates, fats, and protein. Carbohydrates are the primary energy source for short, maximum performance events (sprints at or near 100% VO2 max). Both fats and carbohydrates can serve as an energy source for the cell in endurance events (generally performed at less than 50% VO2 max.) Proteins are used to maintain and repair body tissues, and are only rarely used as an energy source to power muscle activity (almost always when severe Calorie restrictions are in effect such as with starvation or malnutrition). The cardiovascular system delivers the oxygen necessary for oxidation. Oxygen is extracted by the lungs from the air we breathe and then transported via the circulatory system (bound to hemoglobin) to the cells where it will be utilized. One of the end products of energy production, carbon dioxide, is transported from the cell back to the lungs by the circulating blood and then leaves the body in expired air."

Chemical digestion, on the other hand, is a complex process that reduces food into its chemical building blocks, which are then absorbed to nourish the cells of the body ( [link] ). In this section, you will look more closely at the processes of chemical digestion and absorption. Digestion and Absorption Digestion begins in the mouth and continues as food travels through the small intestine. Most absorption occurs in the small intestine. Chemical Digestion Large food molecules (for example, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and starches) must be broken down into subunits that are small enough to be absorbed by the lining of the alimentary canal. This is accomplished by enzymes through hydrolysis. The many enzymes involved in chemical digestion are summarized in [link]. *These enzymes have been activated by other substances.

"text": "Triglycerides, phospholipids and sterols are the most common members of the lipids family, the class of nutrients made up primarily of dietary fats. Lipids are naturally occurring compounds that all share one trait in common: they’re insoluble in water. Although fats often get a bad rap, the body needs a certain amount of lipids to function properly. However, trouble can occur if your body’s lipid levels are either too high or too low. Lipids Are a Source of Energy While both carbohydrates and lipids provide the fuel to energize your body, carbohydrates are the most readily available source of energy, and lipids function primarily as the body’s backup energy reserves, according to Virtual Chembook. However, your body is able to store far more energy in the form of lipids than in glycogen, the carbohydrate-based energy stores. When glycogen available to the body is exhausted, it begins to use lipid-based energy. Gram for gram, lipids outstrip glycogen in terms of available energy by more than two to one. A gram of lipids yields 9 kilocalories, compared with 4 kilocalories in every gram of glycogen. On the downside, particularly for those watching their weight, high-fat foods contain more than twice the calories per gram as foods that are high in carbohydrate."

Fogoros, MDUpdated September 11, 2017Share Pin Email Print Roche/Getty Images It's not surprising to have high triglyceride levels if you have type 2 diabetes. About 80% of people with diabetes struggle with this problem. Elevated triglyceride levels are also a component of metabolic syndrome, a group of disorders that increase your risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Other symptoms of this syndrome include high blood sugar, high blood pressure, low HDL (good cholesterol), and excess belly fat. Definition Triglycerides are fat molecules that make up most of your body fat and the fat found in food. Along with cholesterol, they are one of the lipids that circulate in your blood. The medical term for having elevated levels of triglycerides is hypertriglyceridemia. In fasting laboratory tests, a normal triglyceride level is below 150 mg/d L. Borderline high is 150 to 199 mg/d L. High is considered 200 to 499 mg/d L. Very high is over 500 mg/d L. High triglyceride levels can increase your risk for heart disease, stroke, and nerve damage. There is a link between chronically elevated triglyceride levels and atherosclerosis, as well as insulin resistance. Causes of High Triglycerides There are many causes for high triglyceride levels."

There’s no doubt that omega-3s do this quite effectively. After all, the FDA approved prescription fish oil, Lovaza ®, to treat a condition called familial hypertriglyceridemia, a genetic condition in which very high triglyceride levels, typically 500 mg/dl or greater, develop. Omega-3 fatty acids, prescription or otherwise, reduce triglycerides in this condition by hundreds of milligrams. While most of us don’t need this much triglyceride reduction, omega-3 fatty acids can still exert substantial triglyceride reduction even when we have less marked elevations to start. Omega-3 fatty acids stand out for their unique triglyceride-reducing property. No other fraction of fatty acids, like omega-6, monounsaturated or saturated, can match the triglyceride-reducing effect of omega-3s. Ounce for ounce, omega-3 fatty acids are at least 10-fold more potent for triglyceride reduction than any other food oil. But why and how does fish oil reduce triglycerides?

"text": "\"20.2 Stage I of Catabolism Learning Objective Describe how carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are broken down during digestion. We have said that animals obtain chemical energy from the food—carbohydrates, fats, and proteins—they eat through reactions defined collectively as catabolism. We can think of catabolism as occurring in three stages ( Figure 20.4 \"\"Energy Conversions\"\" ). In stage I, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are broken down into their individual monomer units: carbohydrates into simple sugars, fats into fatty acids and glycerol, and proteins into amino acids. One part of stage I of catabolism is the breakdown of food molecules by hydrolysis reactions into the individual monomer units—which occurs in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine—and is referred to as digestion. In stage II, these monomer units (or building blocks) are further broken down through different reaction pathways, one of which produces ATP, to form a common end product that can then be used in stage III to produce even more ATP. In this chapter, we will look at each stage of catabolism—as an overview and in detail. Figure 20.4 Energy Conversions The conversion of food into cellular energy (as ATP) occurs in three stages. Digestion of Carbohydrates Carbohydrate digestion begins in the mouth ( Figure 20.5 \"\"The Principal Events and Sites of Carbohydrate Digestion\"\" ), where salivary α-amylase attacks the α-glycosidic linkages in starch, the main carbohydrate ingested by humans. Cleavage of the glycosidic linkages produces a mixture of dextrins, maltose, and glucose. ("

These may be anatomic and physiologic problems with the health of the zygote, embryo, or fetus, either before gestation even starts (as in preimplantation genetic diagnosis) or as early in gestation as practicable. Screening can detect problems such as neural tube defects, chromosome abnormalities, and gene mutations that would lead to genetic disorders and birth defects, such as spina bifida, cleft palate, Downs Syndrome, Tay–Sachs disease, sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, and fragile X syndrome. Some tests are designed to discover problems which primarily affect the health of the mother, such as PAPP-A to detect pre-eclampsia or glucose tolerance tests to diagnose gestational diabetes. Screening can also detect anatomical defects such as hydrocephalus, anencephaly, heart defects, and amniotic band syndrome. Prenatal screening focuses on finding problems among a large population with affordable and noninvasive methods. Prenatal diagnosis focuses on pursuing additional detailed information once a particular problem has been found, and can sometimes be more invasive. The most common screening procedures are routine ultrasounds, blood tests, and blood pressure measurement. Common diagnosis procedures include amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling. In some cases, the tests are administered to determine if the fetus will be aborted, though physicians and patients also find it useful to diagnose high-risk pregnancies early so that delivery can be scheduled in a tertiary care hospital where the baby can receive appropriate care."

"text": "Fetal Development: First Trimester Home / Your Developing Baby / Fetal Development: First Trimester The First Trimester of Pregnancy Week 1 & 2 – Gestational Age Your menstrual period has just ended, and your body is getting ready for ovulation. For most women, ovulation takes place about 11 – 21 days from the first day of the last period. During intercourse, several hundred million sperm are released in the vagina. Sperm will travel through the cervix and into the fallopian tube. If conception takes place, the sperm penetrates an egg and creates a single set of 46 chromosomes called a zygote, which is the basis for a new human being. The fertilized egg spends a couple days traveling through the fallopian tube toward the uterus, dividing into cells ; it is called a morula. The morula becomes a blastocyst and will eventually end up in the uterus. Anywhere from day 6-12 after conception, the blastocyst will imbed into the uterine lining and begin the embryonic stage. Week 3 – Gestational Age (Fetal Development – Week 1)The embryo is going through a lot of basic growth at this time, with the beginning development of the brain, spinal cord, heart, and gastrointestinal tract. Week 4 & 5 – Gestational Age (Fetal Development – Weeks 2 & 3)Arm and leg buds are visible, but not clearly distinguishable."

"text": "Abortion Procedures Home / Unplanned Pregnancy / Abortion Procedures Abortion Procedures During First, Second and Third Trimester The type of abortion procedure used in elective pregnancy termination is primarily determined by how far a woman is into pregnancy. During the first trimester, you will usually have the option of having a medical abortion procedure or a surgical abortion procedure. Before considering the options, it is recommended that you obtain a sonogram to determine if the pregnancy is viable (uterine, non-ectopic pregnancy) and for accurate pregnancy dating. Need to Talk About Your Options? For information about abortion you may call the APA toll-free helpline at 1-800-672-2296, or search locally by zip code below. Find a Abortion Alternative Specialist in your area What abortion procedures are used during the first trimester? In most cases, you will have a choice between medical or surgical abortion procedures during the first trimester. Medical abortions are only available up through nine weeks gestation. The types of abortion procedures performed during the first trimester are: Methotrexate & Misoprostol (MTX): a medical abortion procedure used up to the first seven weeks of pregnancy. This medication combination is not as commonly used in the U. S. with the availability of mifepristone, which works more effectively for this use."

However, recent evidence provides important insight into the role of chronic uteroplacental ischemia and angiogenic imbalances in the mechanism of injury of this obstetric syndrome. This Opinion reevaluates the association between chronic uteroplacental ischemia and pre-eclampsia using Hill's criteria of causation in the light of recent developments. A possible role of the fetus in the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia and the possibility that relative uteroplacental ischemia may be operative in late-onset pre-eclampsia are also discussed. Between 1938 and 1940, Ernest W. Page published the results of a series of experiments providing transcendental insight into the understanding of the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia. Ogden, Hildebrand and Page described one of the earliest reports of experimental uteroplacental ischemia in pregnant animals 1. They reported that placement of a clamp in the aorta below the renal arteries in pregnant animals, aiming to reduce the femoral pressure by half, produced a gradual increase in the carotid blood pressure. Of note, this effect was not observed in non-pregnant animals or in pregnant animals that underwent hysterectomy following placement of the aortic clamp."

"text": "In The Womb: How Your Baby’s Senses Develop René Pregnancy Q&ATweet Pin It Humans have five basic senses: Sight, smell, taste, hearing and touch. You may be wondering just when, during your pregnancy, your tiny baby can start feeling, smelling, tasting, hearing and see. You will be surprised to know that it is a lot earlier than you think!Your Baby’s Senses – When do they develop? Your baby’s senses begin to develop from the moment of conception with all the senses established by week 8 (gestational age) but maturing at varies rates. What this means is that although the senses begin to develop very early on, they only really start functioning properly later in your pregnancy. What is The First Sense a Baby Develops in The Womb? Before you even knew you were pregnant, at just 3 weeks after conception, your baby’s first sense to develop is the sense of touch. The skin, which contains millions of sensory receptors, is the sensory organ for touch. Research done by Montagu (1978) with a single light hair stroke on the embryo, showed that just before 8 weeks gestational age, “the first sensitivity to touch manifests in a set of protective movements to avoid a mere hair stroke on the cheek”. Skin sensitivity then extends to:• The genital areas by 10 weeks gestational age,• The palms by 11 weeks gestational age,• The soles of the feet by 12 weeks gestational age,• The abdomen and buttocks by 17 weeks gestational age and• The entire body with the exception of the top of the head by 32 weeks gestational age."

List the differential diagnoses for echogenic bowel in the fetus.•. Describe the possible causes of hepatic and peritoneal calcifications.•. Discuss the features that allow differentiation between adrenal hemorrhage and neuroblastoma. Introduction Section: Choose prevnext The fetal abdomen is a common site for congenital anomalies. Many of these lesions can be documented during routine examination of the fetus, particularly in the current era of high-quality scanning equipment combining variable-frequency transducers with improved spatial resolution compared to that available with earlier scanning equipment. Improved visualization of the intraabdominal structures can, however, lead to documentation of previously undetected anomalies and normal variants. Fetal abdominal echogenic lesions are common, and many carry little or no additional risk to the fetus or neonate. Accurate presumptive in utero diagnosis can be made with careful evaluation of the lesion echotexture, associated calcifications, additional findings, and evolution over time. The purpose of this review is to illustrate a practical approach to the interpretation and management of echogenic lesions observed within the fetal abdomen. Such lesions include echogenic bowel, gastric pseudomass, abdominal calcifications, noncalcified liver lesions, enteric duplication cysts, and lesions of the adrenal region. Echogenic Bowel Section: Choose prevnext Echogenic bowel is the most common echogenic mass in the fetal abdomen. To ensure that the bowel is truly echogenic, it must be as bright as adjacent bone."

"text": "\"Obstetric Coding in ICD-10-CM/PCSBy Ann Barta, MSA, RHIAICD-10-CM/PCS will capture a greater level of specificity for obstetric coding. This article highlights some of the new features in coding obstetric cases with ICD-10-CM/PCS. OB Diagnoses Coding with ICD-10-CMObstetric cases require diagnosis codes from chapter 15 of ICD-10-CM, “Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Puerperium.” It includes categories O00–O9A arranged in the following blocks: O00–O08, Pregnancy with abortive outcome O09, Supervision of high-risk pregnancy O10–O16, Edema, proteinuria, and hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium O20–O29, Other maternal disorders predominantly related to pregnancy O30–O48, Maternal care related to the fetus and amniotic cavity and possible delivery problems O60–O77, Complications of labor and delivery O80, O82, Encounter for delivery O85–O92, Complications predominantly related to the puerperium O94–O9A, Other obstetric conditions, not elsewhere classified Similar to ICD-9-CM, ICD-10-CM obstetric codes in chapter 15 have sequencing priority over codes from other chapters. Additional codes from other chapters may be used in addition to chapter 15 codes to further specify conditions. The episode of care (delivered, antepartum, postpartum) is no longer a secondary axis of classification for obstetric codes. Instead, the majority of codes have a final character identifying the trimester of pregnancy in which the condition occurred. Because certain obstetric conditions or complications occur during certain trimesters, not all conditions include codes for all three trimesters. For example, preterm labor without delivery can only occur in either the second or third trimester; therefore the subcategory O60.0, Preterm labor without delivery, is further subdivided as O60.00, Preterm labor without delivery, unspecified trimester; O60.02, Preterm labor without delivery, second trimester; and O60.03, Preterm labor without delivery, third trimester. Additionally, trimester is not a component of some obstetric codes because the condition either always occurs in a specific trimester or the trimester concept is not applicable."

TUROK, MD, MPH, University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City, Utah Am Fam Physician. 2009 Jun 1;79 (11):985-992. Patient information: See related handout on first trimester bleeding, written by the authors of this article. Vaginal bleeding in the first trimester occurs in about one fourth of pregnancies. About one half of those who bleed will miscarry. Guarded reassurance and watchful waiting are appropriate if fetal heart sounds are detected, if the patient is medically stable, and if there is no adnexal mass or clinical sign of intraperitoneal bleeding. Discriminatory criteria using transvaginal ultrasonography and beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin testing aid in distinguishing among the many conditions of first trimester bleeding. Possible causes of bleeding include subchorionic hemorrhage, embryonic demise, anembryonic pregnancy, incomplete abortion, ectopic pregnancy, and gestational trophoblastic disease. When beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin reaches levels of 1,500 to 2,000 m IU per m L (1,500 to 2,000 IU per L), a normal pregnancy should exhibit a gestational sac by transvaginal ultrasonography. When the gestational sac is greater than 10 mm in diameter, a yolk sac must be present."

"text": "INTRODUCTIONToday's obstetrician gynecologist is required to interpret and in many cases perform ultrasound scans in the first trimester. In fact, certification of residency programs in many countries requires documentation of adequate exposure to and training in the evaluation of first-trimester ultrasound. Failure to understand the limitations of diagnostic ultrasound or inadequate training of physicians in this technique can result in grave complications for the patient and liability for health-care providers. The benefits of routine transvaginal ultrasound at 6–7 weeks from the LMP include: Correct dating of gestational age since 10–15% of women will have inaccurate assignment of gestational age of more than 1 week based on menstrual history. Identification of missed abortion, ectopic pregnancy, and C-section scar pregnancies. Early identification of multiple gestation and correct determination of chorionicity. The standard of care for performing routine ultrasound examination at 6–7 weeks varies from country to country. The disadvantages of performing this examination routinely are related to cost, errors in diagnosing ectopic pregnancies that in fact are intrauterine, increased training requirements for providers, and potential biologic hazards to the fetus that are presently unknown. The potential benefits of a subsequent ultrasound examination at 12–14 weeks from the LMP include: Early diagnosis of certain severe and lethal anomalies. Early diagnosis of major trisomies as part of nuchal screening."

My patient had a negative Quad Screen. What should I do next? Prenatal screening provides information about a fetus’s chance of having trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), trisomy 18, or an open neural tube defect (ONTD). Prenatal diagnosis will tell whether or not the fetus has any of these disorders. A negative screen means it is unlikely the fetus has Down syndrome, trisomy 18, or an ONTD. But a negative screen does not guarantee the birth of a healthy baby. The screening test only screens for Down syndrome, trisomy 18, and ONTDs; it is not a diagnostic test. The demographic information provided at the time of testing is used in calculating the patient’s risk for having a fetus with Down syndrome, trisomy 18, and ONTD.

"text": "\"Ultrasound of Fetal Biometrics and Growth U ltrasound Measurement of Fetal Size: Biometrics The development of ultrasound scanning of the obstetric patient includes the ability to make measurements of various fetal structures. By evaluating large groups of fetuses found to be normal at birth, it has been possible to create standard tables and curves of fetal growth. Shown below is such a curve outlining the length of the femur in a normal fetal population: Notice the large r value, in this case 0.987, indicating over 97% of the change in femur length is explained by gestational age. Using such curves, accurate conclusion can be drawn regarding gestation age or fetal growth. Biometric Interpretation: There are two basic approaches to biometric data:1.) If we assume a fetus is growing normally, biometric measurements are determined by gestational age, and we can estimate the gestational age and thus the due date ( EDC - estimated date of confinement). The accuracy of this estimation is about 8% (+/- 8% of estimate includes 95% of population), or at 20 weeks age, 8% = 1.6 week or +/- 11 days (2 Standard Deviation). When the date of the last menses preceding conception is known, it is usually a more accurate estimate (+/- 5 days) of EDC, however when the menstrual age is unknown, or if confounding factors are present (i.e. inconsistent menses, recent pregnancy or oral contraceptives) ultrasound biometry represents a useful estimate. When using ultrasound to estimate gestational age, remember that we are assuming the fetus is growing normally. Conditions which alter fetal growth will make the estimates less reliable.2.)"

That would depend on where you are going, what are you doing and what clothes are you comfortable with. Generally, a lightweight jacket is a must, of course depending on the time of year and the weather you will be facing. Our Travel Vest is also essential, great for security reasons and also adds an extra carry-on, especially since most airlines charge for baggage now. Our Ultimate Cargo pants are very versitile and great for carrying all your essentials and electronics while you are site-seeing or traveling. Our Travel Pants and Shorts are also a great choices. There are travel websites that can give you even more specifics of what to pack, if that helps. Here are a few I looked at Hope this helps you.

By studying the teeth of dinosaurs, scientists can find important clues about what the different types of dinosaurs ate and how they got their food. Dinosaurs that ate meat needed teeth that were as sharp as knives. Dinosaurs that ate plants needed special teeth that would pull the leaves off of branches and grind them up. Each dinosaur tooth served a special purpose to help a dinosaur eat. T-Rex Fossil A T-Rex with a full set of teeth Dinosaurs were alive during the Mesozoic Era, which began around 230 million years ago. The Mesozoic Era has three different periods in it, which are the Triassic Period, the Jurassic Period, and the Cretaceous Period. Dinosaurs were all different sizes, with some as small as a chicken and others that weighed almost 90 tons. Some dinosaurs were carnivores, which are animals that eat meat, while others were herbivores, which are animals that eat plants. A few dinosaurs were omnivores, which means that they ate both plants and meat. \"\""

"text": "\"Some things to keep in mind about dinosaurs Not everything big and dead is a dinosaur All too often, books written (or movies made) for a popular audience include animals such as mammoths, mastodons, pterosaurs, plesiosaurs, ichthyosaurs, and the sail-backed Dimetrodon. Dinosaurs are a specific subgroup of the archosaurs, a group that also includes crocodiles, pterosaurs, and birds. although pterosaurs are close relations, they are not true dinosaurs. Even more distantly related to dinosaurs are the marine reptiles, which include the plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs. Mammoths and mastodons are mammals and did not appear until many millions of years after the close of the Cretaceous period. Dimetrodon is neither a reptile nor a mammal, but a basal synapsid, i.e., an early relative of the ancestors of mammals. Not all dinosaurs lived at the same time Different dinosaurs lived at different times. Despite the portrayals in movies like King Kong and Jurassic Park, no Stegosaurus ever saw a Tyrannosaurus, because Tyrannosaurus didn't appear on the scene until 80 or so million years following the extinction of stegosaurs. The same goes for Apatosaurus (\"\"Brontosaurus\"\") — it's bones were already well-fossilized by the time T. rex came along. Dinosaurs are not extinct Technically."

The 67,000 described species range in size from Stygotantulus stocki at 0.1 mm, to the Japanese spider crab with a leg span of up to 12.5 ft and a mass of 44 lb. Like other arthropods, crustaceans have an exoskeleton, which they moult to grow. They are distinguished from other groups of arthropods, such as insects, myriapods and chelicerates, by the possession of biramous limbs, and by the nauplius form of the larvae. Most crustaceans are free-living aquatic animals, but some are terrestrial, some are parasitic and some are sessile. The group has an extensive fossil record, reaching back to the Cambrian, and includes living fossils such as Triops cancriformis, which has existed apparently unchanged since the Triassic period. More than 10 million tons of crustaceans are produced by fishery or farming for human consumption, the majority of it being shrimp and prawns. Krill and copepods are not as widely fished, but may be the animals with the greatest biomass on the planet, and form a vital part of the food chain. The scientific study of crustaceans is known as carcinology, and a scientist who works in carcinology is a carcinologist."

Most are 0.2–6.0 mm (0.01–0.24 in) long, with a down-turned head with a single median compound eye, and a carapace covering the apparently unsegmented thorax and abdomen.

The most well-known and publicized period of the three dinosaur times is the Jurassic. Why is this so? Why Is The Jurassic Period so Famous? Well, the Jurassic period, which ran from 199 million years ago to 145 million years ago, saw the large dinosaurs that we are so familiar with. Of the dinosaurs that roamed the earth during the Jurassic period there were the Sauropods, the Theropods, and the Ornithopods."

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Animals and Nature150 Million Years of Bird Evolution The Evolution of Birds, from Archaeopteryx to the Passenger Pigeon Share Flipboard Email Print Iberomesornis, an early (and tiny) genus in the line of bird evolution (Madrid National Science Museum).by Bob Strauss Updated April 20, 2017You'd think it would be an easy matter to tell the story of bird evolution--after all, it was the striking adaptations of finches on the Galapagos Islands that, in the 19th century, led Charles Darwin to formulate the theory of evolution. The fact is, though, that gaps in the geological record, differing interpretations of fossil remains, and even the exact definition of the word \"\"bird\"\" have prevented experts from coming to a consensus about the distant ancestry of our feathered friends. Still, most paleontologists agree on the broad outlines of the story, which goes as follows. Archaeopteryx & Friends - The Birds of the Mesozoic Era Although its reputation as the \"\"first bird\"\" has been overblown, there are good reasons to consider Archaeopteryx the first animal to inhabit a place more on the bird than on the dinosaur end of the evolutionary spectrum. Dating from the late Jurassic period, about 150 million years ago, Archaeopteryx sported such avian features as feathers, wings and a prominent beak, though it had some distinctly reptilian traits as well (including a long, bony tail, a flat breastbone, and three claws jutting out of each wing). It's not even certain that Archaeopteryx could fly for extended periods of time, though it would easily have fluttered from tree to tree. ( Recently, researchers announced the discovery of another \"\"basal avilian,\"\" Aurornis, that predated Archaeopteryx by 10 million years; it's unclear, though, if this was any more a true \"\"bird\"\" than Archaeopteryx was. ) From whence did Archaeopteryx evolve? Here's where matters become a bit ambiguous. While it's reasonable to assume that Archaeopteryx derived from small, bipedal dinosaurs ( Compsognathus is often cited as a likely candidate, and then there are all those other \"\"basal avilians\"\" of the late Jurassic period), that doesn't necessarily mean that it lay at the root of the entire modern bird family."

"text": "Kiwi Bird Facts – Kiwi Bird Habitat & Egg This article lays down some of the most amazing and interesting kiwi bird facts that you may want to share with your kids. Kiwi bird is a flightless bird found in New Zealand. It is the smallest member of the group of all the flightless running birds of which ostrich and emu are the largest flightless birds. It is named after its characteristic sound or shrill cry ‘kee-wee kee-wee’ usually produced by the male kiwis. Its natural habitat is found in New Zealand (North and South Islands and Stewart Island) and now I think you may have figured out why the people of New Zealand call themselves Kiwis!Kiwi Bird Facts The most prominent feature of kiwi bird is that it is both tailless and wingless bird. Its entire body is covered with brownish grey down feathers. The body of a male kiwi is approximately 45 cm long whereas the bodies of female kiwi are bigger than male maximum up to 54 cm. Kiwi has a characteristic long beak about 1/3 of its body length that is used by it to find food by dipping it repetitively into leaf litters in search of food. Kiwi is a flightless bird because of its unnoticeable short wings that are only 5cm in length and are hidden under its feathers. Kiwi has strong and powerful legs with claws that help them in digging its burrow."

Getty Imagesby Bob Strauss Updated January 29, 2018Many people find it difficult to grasp life in all its diversity: not only the birds, reptiles and mammals that everyone knows and love, but also viruses, bacteria, protists, invertebrates, and trees and fungi. On the following images, you'll go on a guided tour of the biggest organisms on Earth, ranging from a giant (by microscopic standards) virus, to a gigantic (by anyone's standards) clonal colony of trees — with all your favorite whales, elephants, and anacondas in between.01of 25Biggest Virus - The Pithovirus (1.5 Micrometers Long)Pithovirus, the world's biggest virus. Wikimedia Commons We can quibble about whether or not viruses are really living organisms — some biologists say yes, some aren't so sure – but there's no question that the Pithovirus is a true giant, 50 percent bigger than the previous record-holder, Pandoravirus, and (at 1.5 millionths of a meter) slightly larger than the smallest identified eukaryotic cell . You might think a pathogen as big as the Pithovirus would make a habit of infecting elephants, hippopotamuses or even human beings, but don't worry: it actually preys on amoebas only a little bit bigger than itself.02of 25Biggest Bacterium - Thiomargarita (0.5 Millimeters Wide)Thiomargarita, the world's biggest bacterium. Wikimedia Commons It sounds like a mixed drink, but thiomargarita is actually Greek for \"\"sulfur pearl,\"\" a reference to the granules of sulfur incorporated in this bacterium's cytoplasm (which give it a lustrous appearance) and the fact that the roundish thiomargarita tends to link up in long, pearl-like chains as it divides. Completely harmless to humans and other animals — it's a \"\"lithotroph,\"\" meaning it subsists on inert chemicals on the ocean floor — the half-millimeter wide thiomargarita may be the world's only bacterium that's visible to the naked eye.03of 25Biggest Amoeba - The Giant Amoeba (3 Millimeters Long)The Giant Amoeba, the world's biggest amoeba. Wikimedia Commons You can't beat the genus name attached to the giant amoeba: \"\"Chaos,\"\" which presumably refers to this single-celled organism's constant undulations, as well as the fact that it harbors literally hundreds of separate nuclei in its cytoplasm. While falling well short of the monstrous amoebas that populate comic books and science-fiction movies, at up to 3 millimeters long, the giant amoeba is not only visible to the naked eye, but capable of (slowly) engulfing and digesting smaller multicellular organisms in addition to its usual diet of bacteria and protists.04of 25Biggest Insect - The Goliath Beetle (3-4 Ounces)The Goliath Beetle, the world's biggest insect. Getty Images The appropriately named Goliath beetle, genus name Goliathus, is never seen in the wild outside the tropical forests of Africa — which is a good thing, since this insect weighs as much as a full-grown gerbil."

"text": "Why do flightless birds have wings? See this page in: Dutch There are at least two possibilities as to why flightless birds such as ostriches and emus have wings, either: The wings are indeed “useless” and derived from birds that once could fly. This is possible in the creationist model. Loss of features is relatively easy by natural processes, whereas acquisition of new characters, requiring specific new DNA information, is impossible. Loss of wings most probably occurred in a beetle species that colonized a windy island. Again, this is a loss of genetic information, so it is not evidence for microbe-to-man evolution, which requires masses of new genetic information. [ 1]The wings have a function. Some possible functions, depending on the species of flightless bird, are: balance while running, cooling in hot weather, warmth in cold weather, protection of the ribcage during falls, mating rituals, scaring predators (emus will run at perceived enemies of their chicks, mouth open and wings flapping), sheltering of chicks, etc. If the wings are useless, why are the muscles functional, allowing these birds to move their wings?

But these were mere pioneers of the air. Think of them, in aviation terms, as the flimsy open-cockpit planes of the early 20th Century. Then, several hundred million years ago, huge and often terrifying new life forms, Pterosaurs, or flying dinosaurs, took the ascendancy. These massive creatures had wings of skin, stretched between one enormously elongated finger and their flanks. Around 150 million years ago they were joined by - or, as many scientists say, they began to turn into - a much more aerodynamic, feathered creature. The bird was born.

Amongst these organisms, fish covers more than 80% of penguins’ diet. These flightless birds usually consume less fish in winter as compared to the summer. Emperor penguins also feed on cephalopods apart from the squid and lantern fish. Because these flightless birds travel too much, they need fat-oriented diet that helps them to gain strength and allow them to live for quite a few days without eating anything. These birds do not eat anything during the breeding season. What do Penguins Eat Penguins are flightless birds that belong to the family of Spheniscidae."

"text": "\"Find Audubon Near You Visit your local Audubon center, join a chapter, or help save birds with your state program. Explore the Network Wahlberg's honeyguide Photo: Wikimedia Commons, Alan Manson Some animals are known for their keen scent-detecting abilities. Sharks respond to one part of blood to one million parts of water – the equivalent to one teaspoon in an average swimming pool. And a dog has more than 220 million olfactory receptors in its nose, while humans have only 5 million. While birds are admired for their colorful plumage and graceful flight, their olfactory prowess isn't often discussed. Carolyn Shea answered the question in Audubon: To some birds, the whiff of certain fragrances is like the sight of the Golden Arches: a sure sign of lunch. To others, following scents may be as good as reading a road map, since smell helps them navigate the skies. All birds possess some of the sensory equipment necessary for perceiving odors, but whether all use it is an age-old question. John James Audubon was among the first to try to find out: His experiments in 1826 convinced him that, contrary to popular opinion, vultures did not use smell to zero in on the dead animals they ate. Later research with birds such as pigeons did little to resolve the conundrum. \"\""

Credit: Image Focus | Shutterstock Ostriches are large, flightless birds that have long legs and a long neck that protrudes from a round body. Males have bold black-and-white coloring that they use to attract females. Females, on the other hand, are light brown. Ostriches are bigger than any other bird in the world. They can grow up to 9 feet (2.7 meters) tall and can weigh up to 320 lbs. ( 145 kilograms), according to the African Wildlife Foundation, and an ostrich's eyes are 2 inches (5 centimeters) in diameter — the largest of any land animal. The ostrich is the only bird that has two toes on each foot. All other birds have three or four toes, according to the American Ostrich Association. Where do ostriches live?"

As you carve your turkey this year, delight your tikes with a fun biochemistry lesson about myoglobin. Myoglobin is similar to hemoglobin, which gives blood its bright red color and carries oxygen through the bloodstream. Myoglobin is found in muscle tissue and also has an affinity for oxygen. \"\" It is the binding state of oxygen to the myoglobin that creates the variation in meat color,\"\" explains Daniel L. Fletcher at the University of Connecticut Department of Animal Science. \"\" The more myoglobin, the darker the meat. \"\" Turkey meat is turkey muscle.

The new bar boasts multiple textures and “delivers on [Snickers] satisfaction pledge with the chew of caramel and the crunchy crispiness of rice and peanuts. ”Like the recent Snickers Peanut Butter Squared that came out five years ago, these are actually two squares in one package instead of a single bar. The new bar is supposed to be in response to consumers wanting healthier options. I’m not sure what would make this bar healthier than a regular Snickers, though this one has crisped rice in it, instead of nougat and is actually 12 grams lighter, which means fewer calories per serving. Each square is about 1.25 inches on each side. They’re about two or three bites. The bar smells well roasted and a bit like toffee. The bite is very soft, the caramel on top has a lot of give to it, but not much pull. The chew has a nice texture, with the peanut butter coated crisped rice as a highlight."

Why are there two Twix bars in one wrapper? Finally, after years upon years of vexation, the Twix company has shared the details of its troubled past, shedding light on the question of candy bar bifurcation. About a year ago, Twix released this commercial, which begins to explain one of life’s greatest mysteries: It seems that almost immediately after Twix was unveiled, the company’s two like-minded founders—Seamus and Earl—fell into an abyss of irreconcilable disagreement. Realizing that they could no longer continue on as co-workers, they decided to split the company in two. What emerged from the division were two rival companies alike in nearly every way, Left Twix and Right Twix. While obvious to the outside world, the overwhelming similarities between the two chocolaty corporations went unnoticed by the myopic executives of each respective “side."

"text": "History The product was first created by Mars Limited in the UK in 1967 at the company’s factory in Slough which is also where the current Mars Bar was invented by Forrest Mars Sr. in the 1930s. In the years after its creation the Twix candy bar was released throughout Western Europe under the name Raider. The Twix candy bar was finally made available in 1979 in the US sporting a gold colored wrapper with orange text, it was branded as the Twix Cookie Bar. Advertising for the Twix was always tastefully photographed with one of the bars snapped in two and the caramel from one piece curling out slightly to show how soft and chewy the candy was. The first ads in the US adopted the slogan “Chocolate, Caramel and a Surprising Cookie Crunch!” A period of continuing sales through the early 1980s would have suggested Mars, Inc were happy with the performance of their Twix brand, in fact the candy bar was not performing quite as well at retail and the hunt was on for a replacement or improvement which in 1983 came about with the peanut butter Twix. The caramel was removed and a soft peanut butter blend was added. The market reacted very positively following the news innovation to the chocolate candy bar. During 1991, Mars rebranded the Raider chocolate bar to Twix in line with their global branding but the decision meets with public disrespect."

Borchard Associate Editor ~ 5 min read By far my most popular post is the gallery, “12 Depression Busters.” But those suggestions were actually a response to Beyond Blue reader Peg’s query on how to stop smoking. They absolutely do help a person fight depression and the ongoing war against negative thoughts; however they were designed as techniques to use when getting pulled into addictive behaviors. The last month or so I have used every single one of these. And I’m happy to report that I actually feel a lot freer from insidious, destructive behavior than I did several weeks ago.

The Cow Pies are three rounded platforms with concentric rings that superficially look like cow pies from the air. They are also supposedly one of the \"\"vortex centers\"\" of Sedona. So, it is likely you will see rocks lined up on the platforms by folks to represent various things. But, in addition to the interesting features and spectacular views, this hike also has a wonderful surprise over on the saddle of Mitten Ridge you have to check out. To get to the trailhead, head on Hwy 179 south from Uptown Sedona and at the traffic circle directly south of the Oak Creek Bridge, turn up Schnebly Hill Road. Follow the road up until it turns into dirt. Then, follow it up 3.6 miles of rough going to the trail with a small sign saying \"\"Cow Pies\"\" on the left and a large rock platform parking area. I do not recommend trying to get up onto that platform, unless you want to scrape bottom; but rather park on the roadside. A dried up vernal pool The trail heads about 1/2 miles through Arizona cypress and juniper until arriving at an open slick-rock area."

And there's a lot more running in soccer. Soccer is played by two teams of 11 players each. The field for international matches is in the range of 110-120 yards long and 70-80 yards wide. The length must always be greater than the width. American football has 11 players per side.

The inspiration came from the walls that are inside the OC Mart Mix. We know our limits…so we knew we’d need some help on this project. We enlisted our contractor to help us with the final installation, but the leg work started with us. First off, we headed to Lowes to purchase pine. Lots and lots of 1×4 pine boards. After hauling all that wood home, we started distressing. I’m talking everything from kitchen utensils to an ax. Brent set up a little work station for us in the backyard and we lined up all the wood for staining. This process took quite a bit of time and about 5 cans of stain."

"text": "How to Remove Salt Stains From Suede By Matt Oden | Comments | Chemical Stains → Salt | Leather and Suede Stains If you're interested in learning how to remove salt stains from suede, it's important to understand what makes salt such a difficult stain to remove from suede. Suede is a leather product, often produced from goat, sheep, or deer skin. It is a comparably softer and more porous material than other leathers, and therefore should be maintained with care. If you get stains on your suede they should be removed immediately, salt especially. Salt Gets on Suede During the Winter Since suede leather is used for boots and shoes, the fabric is more vulnerable to salt stains when walking on sidewalks during the winter. If the salt stains are left on the suede, it can ruin them forever. The salt will corrode the suede and eventually eat it away. During the winter months salt is used on stairs, driveways, walkways, roads, and sidewalks in order to melt large quantities of ice. It makes it safer to walk, but unfortunately walking through that salt will damage your shoes. If you keep your suede leather shoes polished, they run a lesser chance of needing suede salt stain removal during the winter months, but having additional protection might not be enough."

Photo: REXA counting game: track the number of Uggs whose paths you cross today. From the moment you set out to the turn of the latch on your return, tally each one. Related articles US middle school to ban Ugg boots Ugg-style boots 'damage feet due to lack of support'Sales of Ugg boots climb uphill, as shoppers seek out wooly footwear Arriving at a friend's house for brunch, you'll spot three pairs of the lumpen sheepskin boots in the entry hall; on the way home, four teenage girls forming a chain across the pavement wear matching Uggs, the water stains like age rings. A baby's feet dangling out of a pushchair are shod in miniature booties (pale-pink: it's a girl), and a woman immediately ahead of you in the coffee queue boasts a prickly-looking gold sequin pair. Chances are, around Ugg 15, you'll forget to count - they're everywhere. Clumpy or comfortable, hideous or heaven-sent, few shoe styles have proved as divisive as Uggs. The boots - originating from Australia - have outlasted all forecasts of their demise, and rocketed to ubiquity as one of the footwear industry's biggest success stories of the past decade. The genesis of the original Australian sheepskin boot is tough to trace, as surfers improvised the boots to keep feet warm after catching a wave before they were ever commercially produced. Uggs as we know them landed in the US with the Aussie surfer Brian Smith, who hauled a few dozen pairs of his Ugg Australia-brand boots to California in 1978."

"text": "\"O nce upon a time, buying winter boots was pretty simple. You didn't have a lot of choices, and what was available was frequently warm enough for an arctic expedition and weighed just slightly less than a heavy ball and chain. Hmmm...how times change. Today, there are enough winter and snow boot varieties available to fill a sizable shoe store all by itself. Unfortunately, along with all these choices has come a bewildering array of insulation types, much of which is couched in rather obscure but important sounding terminology. So let's cut through the jargon, and get to what is important—what type of insulation you want in a boot and how much you need. Since this page is rather lengthy, here are quick links to all sub-sections: What's Isn't Winter Boot Insulation Thinsulate & Other Synthetic Boot Insulation Shearling Boot Insulation Understanding a Boot's Temperature Rating What Isn’t Insulation There’s lots of terminology slung around today when shopping for winter boots. With all this terminology floating around, it is often difficult to determine precisely \"\"what is what.\"\" In particular, I’ve found lots of confusion surrounds two words commonly found online when shopping for winter boots— Gore-Tex and Thermaplush. Gore-Tex is not insulation."

For the American brand known as \"\"UGG\"\", see UGG (brand). A pair of ugg boots Ugg boots [1] are a unisex style of sheepskin boot originating in Australia and New Zealand. The boots are typically made of twin-faced sheepskin with fleece on the inside, a tanned outer surface and a synthetic sole. The term, ugg boots, originated from Australia, initially for utilitarian footwear worn for warmth, and which were often worn by surfers during the 1960s. In the 1970s, the boots were introduced to the surf culture of the United Kingdom and the United States. Sheepskin boots became a fashion trend in the U. S. in the late 1990s and as a world-wide trend in the mid-2000s. In Australia, they are worn predominantly as slippers and often associated with \"\" daggy \"\" fashion sense and \"\" bogan \"\" culture. [ 2]Prior legal disputes between some manufacturers of sheepskin boots arose as to distinguish whether \"\"ugg\"\" is a protected trademark, or a generic term and thus ineligible for trademark protection."

"text": "\"Are Ugg Boots Made from Sheepskin? Many consumers have been surprised to find that Ugg brand boots are actually made with sheepskin, not just wool.2KCLAIMUgg boots are made from sheepskin. RATINGTrue ORIGINUgg boots (also known as uggs) are a type of fleece-lined sheepskin boot which originated in Australia and/or New Zealand. Today the term “ugg” both generically refers to that type of boot and specifically to particular trademarked brands of boots (most prominently the UGG brand manufactured by the Deckers Outdoor Corporation of California). Ugg boots are typically made from sheepskin with attached fleece (rather than wool attached to a synthetic base), a raw material derived from sheep that have been killed and skinned rather than simply sheared of their coats. In recent years various celebrities and animal rights groups have urged boycotts of ugg boots, calling upon manufacturers and consumers to instead choose boots made from synthetic materials rather than animal products. In 2008, for example, the Princeton Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) staged a protest on the campus of that university against the fashion fur industry in general and ugg boots in particular: Defying February’s climatic dictates, students lay in the newly fallen snow on the Frist Campus Center’s North Front Lawn, feigning death, wearing coats covered with fake blood and sporting signs that read, “What if you were killed for your coat?”The protest, based on a campaign started by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and organized by the Princeton Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), was designed to raise awareness of animals’ suffering as part of the fashion fur industry. The protest focused on Ugg boots, which are made from sheepskin and are popular among college-age women. In addition to Uggs, which are openly noted as derived from animals, fur marked as fake may not actually be, PAWS vice president Alex Barnard explained, adding that clothing imported from China is often unregulated, and recent studies indicate that cat and dog fur may be mislabeled as “faux fur. ”PAWS hopes to address these issues and change people’s perceptions of fashion through the protest."

Thyroid UK is frequently contacted by patients who do not realise that natural desiccated thyroid hormone (NDT) - 'Armour', manufactured by Forest Pharmaceuticals, 'Nature-Throid' and 'Westhroid', both manufactured by RLC Labs, and 'Thyroid' manufactured by Erfa Canada Inc. - can be prescribed by their GP on a “named patient” basis. If you do obtain a prescription for NDT and you find that your normal pharmacy cannot obtain this, it might be a good idea to try another pharmacy. If you still have problems obtaining NDT the following pharmacies may be able to help: Tollesbury Pharmacy UK based registered pharmacy dispensing NHS and private prescriptions including brands of natural thyroid hormone. They have dealt with natural thyroid hormone brands such as Armour and Erfa for over 10 years and have wide experience in sourcing these products from reputable wholesalers within the UK. They comply with GPh C standards and are members of the NPA and RPSGB. They are also wholesalers and are registered with MHRA. They may not need a letter of clinical need but check with them first. They send the medicine back to the patient by Royal Mail Registered Post or via a secure courier, which means that all medication can be tracked and has to be signed for to ensure the safety of the medication and safe and accurate receipt to the patient, to comply with their audit procedures.

Bea Pea 5 years ago 6 Replies I posted on the following blood test results on the forum back in December as I have been suffering from very achy arms for over a year (2 years 3 months on Levo for hypothyroidism, already treated for Vit D) and want to know if this could be the result of thyroid issues. December thyroid results: Serum TSH = 4.22 m U/L (0.35-5.00)Free T4 = 15.6 pmol/L (9.0-19.1)It was recommended by volunteers on the forum that I ask my GP for an increase in Levo dose (I'm currently on 100mgs) showing him the Toft article as the TSH was at the top end of the normal range and it should be below 1, ideally. ( I had asked him before this result for an increase based on my symptoms but he said no. ) Anyway, I decided it might be a good idea to get a private, more comprehensive test done first to see if I have a T3 conversion issue or if any other problems show up which might convince him to adjust or change my meds. The results from this are as follows. Everything else seems normal except the antibodies. The TSH seems lower but the measuring unit and ranges are different so it's hard to tell. Though what does the positive last result mean? Is that significant even given that I have a known thyroid condition and am already on Levo?"

My numbers are very good now so Dr. is keeping me on this dose. PROBLEM IS: about a week after starting Armour I noticed my hair was falling out significantly. I have probably lost 30-50% of my hair volume in the past month. My QUESTION IS: Will my body become accustomed to Armour, quit loosing hair and regrow the lost hair? I am hoping this is the case, because I don't want to go back to the debilitating exhaustion, foggy brain and allergies that were plaguing me prior to Armour.

If you've been diagnosed as hypothyroid by your primary care doctor, gynecologist, GP, or other doctor, you may wonder if you should you go to an endocrinologist for your thyroid treatment? Or if you have been diagnosed and are being treated for hypothyroidism but still do not feel well, would a second opinion from an endocrinologist offer ideas that would help you feel better? Some of you may also wonder if an endocrinologist would be more likely to know about and prescribe Armour Thyroid, or T3 drugs. There's no clearcut answer as to whether or not you need an endocrinologist. There are times when an endocrinologist is absolutely called for, and there are other times when an endocrinologist is probably not the type of practitioner that will best serve your interests.

If you are interested about any of them it is a good idea to consider each product and weigh each of its pros and cons to make sure that you make the right choice. There are plenty of products in the market that are designed to treat hypothyroidism, and they range from prescription drugs to natural supplements and medicines. Prescription drugs, like Synthroid contain a synthetic version of the thyroid hormone thyroxine. Natural medications like Armour Thyroid on the other hand, contain natural thyroxine replacements derived from porcine thyroid glands. So, if you have hypothyroidism, you may consider one of the two types of treatments. And although your doctor will usually be the one to choose the treatment for you, it is a good idea to check out different alternatives that you can consider and bring the idea up during your visit to your doctor. Synthroid Synthroid is a prescription medication manufactured by Abbott Laboratories. Its main component is Levothyroixine sodium, which is identical to thyroxine or the T4 hormone in the body."

If you have researched thyroid disease and treatments, no doubt you have come across widely different approaches and convincing arguments for each. I will not go into those here. I encourage you to actively participate in your medical decisions, and encourage a balanced approach. Getting into an adversarial relationship is not productive, and a mix of openness and skepticism will most likely bring you to your most appropriate treatment. One authoritative and balanced resource I recommend is The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Thyroid Disease, by Dr. Alan Christianson and Hy Bender.

Estimates show that about 500,000 new cases of peptic ulcers are reported each year in the U. S. alone, and at any given time about 5 million people are affected. ( 1) In addition, one in 10 adults can expect to deal with painful ulcers at one point or another. ( 2)For many years, doctors thought that high amounts of stress alone could cause a stomach ulcer to form by increasing production of stomach acid, but then research emerged in the 1980s showing that frequent use of anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs like apsirin ), a poor lifestyle and a type of bacterial infection caused by the strain Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori) were more likely to be the real culprits of ulcers. Ulcers form when any combination of excess gastric acids, bacteria, drugs or other “toxins” cause damage and small openings to the mucosa, the tissue that lines the stomach, parts of the small intestine and other organs to protect particles from leaking out. Ulcer symptoms are not only painful, but can also lead to complications, such as infections, changes in appetite and ongoing nausea/vomiting. Research shows that by making changes to your diet, reducing stress and inflammation, and enhancing your immune system can lower your chances of suffering from a stomach ulcer greatly. The Most Common Stomach Ulcer Symptoms Stomach ulcers (often called peptic ulcers) are painful sores that develop in the lining of your digestive system. They usually form in the stomach but can also sometimes develop in the small intestine (especially a part called the duodenum) or the esophagus. Ulcers can cause a range of symptoms, some that are more mild and go away quickly, but others that linger and cause a good deal of pain."

Even those spicy foods won't cause an ulcer. In the past, it was believed stress and diet caused peptic ulcers. Later, researchers stated stomach acids ( hydrochloric acid and pepsin) contributed to the majority of ulcer formation. Today, however, research shows that most ulcers develop as a result of infection with a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori. Helicobacter pylori Research studies have shown that most ulcers are caused by an infection by a bacteria called Helicobacter pylori -- also referred to as H. pylori. While the other factors listed below can also cause ulcers, H. pylori are now considered the cause of most ulcers. The H. pylori bacterium is found in the stomach, and along with acid secretion, can damage the tissue of the stomach and duodenum, causing inflammation and ulcers.

"text": "Stomach ulcers, often called peptic ulcers, are painful sores that develop in the lining of the stomach. They occur when the thick layer of mucus that protects the stomach from digestive juices is reduced, thus allowing the digestive acids to eat away at the tissues of the stomach lining. Peptic ulcers usually form in the stomach, however they can also develop in the small intestine (a part called the duodenum) or the esophagus. Stomach ulcers are a common problem. One in 10 adults can expect to deal with painful ulcers at one point or another. According to the American Gastroenterological Association, an estimated 4 million Americans have peptic ulcer disease. No single cause has been found for stomach ulcers. However, experts report that an imbalance between digestive fluids in the stomach and duodenum can cause an ulcer. Most ulcers are caused by an infection from a type of bacteria called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Other causes include long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and excess acid production (hyperacidity) in the stomach caused by gastrinomas or Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, a rare disease."

Gastric and duodenal ulcers are two kinds of peptic ulcers. A peptic ulcer is a sore that’s on the inside of the stomach lining (gastric) or the upper part of the small intestine (duodenal). A person can have one or both ulcers at the same time. Having both types is known as gastroduodenal. Where else do peptic ulcers form? » Symptoms How do symptoms differ? One way of telling if you have a gastric or duodenal ulcer is figuring out where and when symptoms occur. As food travels, it can cause stomach pain at different times, depending where your ulcer is."

Under normal conditions, mucosal integrity is maintained by defense mechanisms, which include preepithelial factors (mucus-bicarbonate-phospholipid “barrier”), an epithelial “barrier” (surface epithelial cells connected by tight junctions and generating bicarbonate, mucus, phospholipids, trefoil peptides, prostaglandins (PGs), and heat shock proteins), continuous cell renewal accomplished by proliferation of progenitor cells (regulated by growth factors, PGE 2 and survivin), continuous blood flow through mucosal microvessels, an endothelial “barrier,” sensory innervation, and generation of PGs and nitric oxide. Mucosal injury may occur when noxious factors “overwhelm” an intact mucosal defense or when the mucosal defense is impaired. We review basic components of gastric mucosal defense and discuss conditions in which mucosal injury is directly related to impairment in mucosal defense, focusing on disorders with important clinical sequelae: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-associated injury, which is primarily related to inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX)-mediated PG synthesis, and stress-related mucosal disease (SRMD), which occurs with local ischemia. The annual incidence of NSAID-associated upper gastrointestinal (GI) complications such as bleeding is approximately 1%–1.5%; and reductions in these complications have been demonstrated with misoprostol, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) (only documented in high-risk patients), and COX-2 selective inhibitors. Clinically significant bleeding from SRMD is relatively uncommon with modern intensive care. Pharmacologic therapy with antisecretory drugs may be used in high-risk patients (eg, mechanical ventilation ≥48 hours), although the absolute risk reduction is small, and a decrease in mortality is not documented.

How the gastric mucosa maintains structural integrity and resists autodigestion by substances such as 0.1 mol/L HCl and pepsin puzzled clinicians and investigators for more than 200 years. An early hypothesis proposed by Hunter in 1772 and supported by Virchow in 1853 was that continuous circulation of alkaline blood through the mucosa neutralizes acid."

"text": "The Stomach Gastritis Overview Gastritis is an inflammation or irritation of the stomach lining and is associated with a variety of conditions. It develops when the stomach's powerful protective layer - the mucous-bicarbonate barrier - is overwhelmed and the stomach lining is exposed to the caustic gastric acids the body uses to break down food. While gastritis is often caused by a bacterial infection, it can also occur as a result of too much alcohol, long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as aspirin), or even stress. It can be a painful condition that, left untreated, may lead to more serious problems such as blood loss, ulcers, or an increased risk of cancer. In most cases, however, patients will see a rapid improvement with the proper medical care. [ Top ]Symptoms Gastritis is most commonly associated with recurrent stomach pain and upset. Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, indigestion, bloating, loss of appetite, and a feeling of fullness or burning in the upper abdomen. More serious signs such as vomiting blood and black or bloody stools indicate that your stomach lining may be bleeding and call for immediate medical attention. [ Top ]Causes and Risk Factors A number of conditions can lead to gastritis including: Bacterial infections such as Helicobacter pylori, E. coli, or Salmonella Excessive alcohol consumption or cocaine use Regular or prolonged use of pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs Stress Major surgery Severe injury or burns Certain diseases such as pernicious anemia, bile reflux, and autoimmune disorders [ Top ]Diagnosis Your physician will discuss your medical history and symptoms with you, which is usually enough to identify gastritis. However, additional testing may be necessary to isolate the underlying cause that is triggering gastritis, particularly to determine if an infection is the root problem."

Acute Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis is a severe and painful inflammation of the gums, which causes deep ulcerations of the gingival tissues. The condition is caused by poor oral hygiene combined with poor nutrition and weak immune system. If left untreated, the infection can lead to the necrosis of gum tissues and may spread to other areas of the body. What is Acute Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis? Acute Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis, also referred by its acronym ANUG, is known with several other terms such as ‘acute membranous gingivitis’, ‘fusospirochetal gingivitis’, or by the names Vincent’s stomatitis, Vincent’s angina, or Vincent’s infection after the French bacteriologist Jean Hyacinthe Vincent (1862-1950) who is credited with the discovery of the organisms that cause the disease. Another common name for Acute Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis is ‘trench mouth’ which comes from World War I, when many soldiers suffered from the disease as they were fighting in the trenches under extremely stressful conditions and without the means to take proper care of their teeth and gums. Acute Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis is a much more severe condition than normal gingivitis, which can finally lead the death of gum tissue. The infection may lead to rapid destruction of the periodontal tissues and can spread into nearby tissues such as the cheeks, lips or jawbone (developing into necrotizing stomatitis). It can also spread to the tonsils and pharynx."

The two common types of ulcers in digestive system are stomach ulcers and duodenal ( the upper part of the intestine ) ulcers. Can you die from a bleeding ulcer? You can actually die from a bleeding ulcer if you don’t get proper treatment in a timely manner. Bleeding ulcer in the stomach or the duodenum can cause severe life threatening blood loss. Most patients with rapidly bleeding ulcer are very sick and unstable. However, due to recent advances in bleeding ulcer treatment, bleeding ulcer death is very rare as long as you get proper medical care.

There are three types of peptic ulcers: gastric, esophageal, and duodenal. The different types of peptic ulcers describe where the ulcer is located, whether that is in the stomach, esophagus, or small intestine. Many people believe that consuming high amounts of spicy foods can lead to peptic ulcers, but this is merely a myth and no truth stands behind it. Furthermore, stress does not lead to peptic ulcers either. Peptic ulcer causes, symptoms As mentioned, peptic ulcers are commonly caused by bacteria or erosion due to stomach acid. The most common bacterium that causes peptic ulcers is H. pylori. Other causes of peptic ulcers include frequent use of aspirin, ibuprofen, and other anti-inflammatory medications, as well as smoking, drinking excessive alcohol, radiation therapy, and stomach cancer. The main symptom of peptic ulcers is a burning sensation in the abdomen, which can be felt from the belly button up to the chest. This burning sensation can vary in intensity and may change from the moment you wake up to when you go back to sleep."

They can be small round and painful sores in the mouth which can really interfere with eating and brushing your teeth. These small annoying little sores can have a red appearance with a whitish center. Two common types are ulcers affecting the mouth (apthous ulcers or canker sores) and cold sores (fever blisters, oral herpes). Cold sores however around the lip are caused by viruses, and not by trauma or a nutritional deficiency. When you have one of these ulcers, certain foods can really trigger pain, like chili or pepper.

Depleted stores of vitamin B₁₂ can lead to pernicious anemia. Chronic Gastritis cont Chronic gastritis is associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer. Chronic Gastritis Categorized: Type A: non-erosive; associated with presence of antibodies to parietal cells and intrinsic factor Type B: most common form, caused by H. pylori.

When they occur in the duodenum, which is the upper part of the small intestine that connects to the stomach, they are known as duodenal ulcers. When in the stomach wall itself, they are known as gastric ulcers. Ulcers are caused when the mucous lining of the stomach or duodenum is not sufficient to protect them against the corrosive action of stomach acid and the digestive enzyme called pepsin. Ulcers are very common, and one in ten men and one in twenty women may expect to have one in their lifetime. Fortunately we've learned a great deal about them in the recent past and there's very good news about their cause and cure. The common symptom of peptic ulcers is burning and discomfort in the upper gastric area at the base of the sternum before meals, sometimes after meals, or at night. The pain can radiate to the back or the chest. This pain can sometimes be relieved by more food or an antacid.

Dietary Modifications for Peptic Ulcers In the area of diet, doctors in the past had advised people with ulcers to avoid spicy, fatty and acidic foods. However, it has been shown that a bland diet is ineffective for treating or avoiding ulcers. This doesn't mean a bland diet is bad for ulcer sufferers. In fact, it may make them feel better. Some people who have peptic ulcers can eat whatever they want with no problems. For many others, however, eating certain foods can cause irritation, excessive acid production, and heartburn."

"text": "\"Your Baby Are Ultrasounds Accurate for Predicting Due Dates? Find Out How Well a Sonogram Can Tell You Your Due Date By Krissi Danielsson Updated October 27, 2017Share Pin Email Print Credit: Tim Robberts / The Image Bank / Getty Images Every pregnant woman wants to know her due date, and a due date that is calculated from her last menstrual period often doesn't match the due date that is estimated by her first ultrasound (also known as a sonogram). Ultrasounds During Pregnancy During an ultrasound, a technician will spread a warm gel over the lower part of your abdomen and then press a tool called a transducer against your belly to examine your fetus using sound waves. An image of your fetus will appear on an accompanying computer screen and while looking at this image, the technician will take some standard measurements from different angles and listen for a heartbeat. Don't worry: This type of exam is painless and risk-free, and seeing your baby for the first time will likely be an enjoyable experience. Naturally, one of the most common questions asked about ultrasound accuracy is: Just how accurate are the due dates that are predicted by an ultrasound? Due Date Accuracy Evidence suggests that, in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy, the first ultrasound may be the most accurate tool for predicting when your baby will be born. But early ultrasound due dates have a margin of error of roughly 1.2 weeks, so doctors will usually keep the original due date (the one generated by the date of your last menstrual period) if the ultrasound due date is within that margin of error. If you can't remember your last menstrual period date or if you have consistently irregular cycles, the doctor can use an early ultrasound to give you a fairly reliable due date. When Your Due Dates Don't Match If your first ultrasound gives you a due date that is more than 1.2 weeks away from what was expected, there is a good chance that everything is still fine."

"text": "\"FAILURE TO THRIVEChildren who fail to grow properly have always existed. In earlier times when many children did not survive the first few years, small or sickly children were a fact of life. More recently, medicine has increasingly turned its attention to the unique problems of children, among them the problems of growth failure and most interestingly to the problem of malnutrition and growth failure in children without obvious organic illness. The case of so-called nonorganic failure to thrive, growth failure without apparent medical cause, is the main focus of this discussion. The medical concept of \"\"failure to thrive\"\" in infants and young children dates back about a century. L. Emmett Holt's 1897 edition of Diseases of Infancy and Childhood included a discussion of a child who \"\"ceased to thrive.\"\" Chapin correctly recognized in 1908 that growth failure was primarily caused by malnutrition, but that temporarily correcting caloric in-take and improving growth often proved futile after the child returned to her (often impoverished) environment. By 1933 the term \"\"failure to thrive\"\" formally entered the medical literature in the tenth edition of Holt's text. Failure to thrive is not a discreet diagnosis or a single medical condition (such as chicken pox), but rather a sign of illness or abnormal function (as a rash or fever may be a sign of chicken pox virus infection). In infants and young children, the term \"\"failure to thrive\"\" is most broadly defined as physical growth that for whatever reason falls short of what is expected of a normal, healthy child."

According to the American Diabetes Association, as many as 9.2 percent of pregnant women have gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes occurs because the hormonal changes of pregnancy make it more difficult for your body to effectively use insulin.

Gestational age is the age of the pregnancy from the last normal menstrual period (LMP), and fetal age is the actual age of the growing baby. Most references to pregnancy are usually in gestational age rather than fetal age development, but we have included both so that it is clear what stage development is at. Measurements will be given in total length from crown to rump (CRL) or [head to buttucks] up to week 20 and after week 20 are then given as head to heel."

The countdown begins – 280 days until your estimated due date in 40 weeks. The average length of a normal pregnancy is 280 days (or 40 weeks), and it starts with the first day of your last menstrual period. On day 1 of pregnancy week 1, you just started your period. You’re bleeding, so there is no possible way that you’ve conceived (and you won’t actually conceive for another two weeks). Keep track of this monumental date, however, since this is the date that doctors use to pinpoint your estimated due date (EDD). If you are serious about conceiving, use this week to start planning your pregnancy. Video: How to Calculate Baby's Due Date Your Menstrual Cycle: Why You Should Keep Track of It Now that you’re trying to conceive, you have to pay attention to your menstrual cycle and the changes in your body during the month. You need to be tracking your menstrual cycle, if you haven’t already. This means keeping tabs of when your period starts, how many days it lasts, and the average length of your cycles."

But don't let that stop you from scheduling an appointment as soon as possible. This meeting helps your doctor learn as much as possible about you and your baby. All these things can help to determine whether you have any particular problems or risks that need to be considered. Your first prenatal visit will be longer and more involved than other visits. It will include: Discussing your medical history Administering tests and a physical exam Estimating your due date Your History Your doctor will ask lots of questions during your first visit. It is essential that you answer these questions to the best of your ability; your answers may provide clues to possible complications. Expect to be asked about your health history, and the history of your family, the baby's father, and his family. Your doctor will also ask about your lifestyle and any past pregnancies."

Updated: October 4, 2017If you’re trying to get pregnant, you’re probably on the look out for ovulation symptoms, in order to work out what day you’ll ovulate. Once you’ve identified it, you can then have intercourse, and hopefully it results in a pregnancy. Bear in mind that when you do ovulate, you only have a short window of time to conceive before the egg starts to die. Therefore, to optimise your chances of conception, it’s important to understand your cycle. Ovulation Symptoms Let’s start by looking at the important basics of your cycle, as well as the ovulation symptoms you might expect. Understanding Your Cycle Understanding your menstrual cycle can be a great deal easier if you know what you’re looking for. You don’t need to be an expert! You can become knowledgable enough to be able to detect ovulation after just one cycle. With such simple, yet wonderful knowledge, you could shorten your journey to becoming pregnant."

"text": "\"The Best and Worst Reasons to Induce Labor Although few true reasons to induce labor exist, labor induction is rapidly becoming routine procedure despite mounting research evidence that inductions are twice as likely to end in cesarean section and put the baby at twice the risk of experiencing fetal distress. At present, 1 in 5 labors are induced, more than twice the recommended level. OVERDUE PREGNANCYOne of the most commonly-cited reasons for induction is an overdue pregnancy. However, this is an arbitrary statement, especially as the average gestation of a first-time pregnancy worldwide is 41 weeks, 1 day. In the US, however, for many doctors it is routine procedure to induce labor by 40 weeks, despite research evidence showing women can safely carry to 42 weeks in low-risk pregnancies. It is still unknown what combination of factors causes labor to spontaneously begin. It can be initiatied through various medical ways to induce labor or by other natural ways to induce labor, but not in the same manner in which spontaneous labor begins. The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) now recommends elective induced labor should not occur before 39 weeks gestation in response to current research evidence showing decreased fetal outcomes in induced labors and doubled risks of cesarean section. Another variable is the accuracy of the due date itself. Due dates are typically calculated from the first day of the woman's last period (LMP)."

This was developed in the 1850’s by a Dr. Nägele, who determined that the average human pregnancy was 266 days from conception, or 280 days (40 weeks) from the start of the last menstrual period. To calculate this, begin with the first day of your last period (LMP). Add 7 days, then subtract 3 months. ( ( LMP + 7 days) - 3 months) = Expected Date of Delivery EX: ( (April 1 + 7 days) - 3 months) = January 8This “rule” doesn’t take into account the fact that many women are uncertain of the date of their last menstrual period, not all women have 28 day cycles, and not all women ovulate on day 14 of their cycle. Another Calculation In 1990, researchers ( Mittendorf, et al) re-examined this issue for modern American women. Results indicated that, for first-time Caucasian moms, an average pregnancy lasts 274 days from conception (approximately 288 days from the last menstrual period). This research and other studies also show us many other factors influence the length of pregnancy, including: mother’s age, weight, ethnicity, prenatal care, prenatal nutrition and smoking, number of prior pregnancies, and more."

"text": "The placenta is an organ which develops within the uterus of a pregnant woman and provides blood, oxygen and nutrition to the fetus. The placenta is connected to the fetus by an umbilical cord. Inside the cord are two arteries and a vein; both arteries are referred to as umbilical arteries. The two arteries wrap around the umbilical vein which carries oxygenated blood and nutrients from the placenta to the fetus. Once the oxygen and nutrients have been used, the umbilical artery transfers the deoxygenated blood and waste from the fetus back to the placenta. This waste and depleted blood then passes through the placenta and into the mother’s bloodstream, where it is carried to her kidneys for disposal. These arteries extend from the cord into the pelvis. After birth, the arteries constrict when the umbilical cord is cut and tied. Within the body, these arteries become part of the medial umbilical ligament, a fibrous cord which runs from the navel to the pelvis, and the superior vesical artery, which supplies the bladder. Ad In a small number of cases, one umbilical artery, usually the left, is missing; a condition referred to as single umbilical artery (SUA)."

F246The fetus depends on the mother for placental exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. This in turn relies on adequate maternal blood gas concentrations, uterine blood supply, placental transfer and fetal gas transport. Disruption of any of these can cause fetal hypoxia, which, despite compensatory mechanisms, may lead to acidosis. When severe and acute (lasting hours), but especially if prolonged (days or weeks), hypoxia and therefore acidosis, are associated with significant morbidity and mortality with potential long term sequelae. Whether this damage is primarily due to reduced cell energy availability, as a result of hypoxia, or secondary to cell poisoning, as a result of acidosis, is unclear and indeed acidosis could simply be a marker of the cause and severity of the hypoxia. Key points The causes and consequences of acute (minutes or hours) and chronic (days or weeks) fetal acidosis are different In the past much attention has been paid to acute acidosis during labour, but in previously normal fetuses this is rarely associated with subsequent damage In contrast, chronic acidosis, which is often not detected antenatally, is associated with a significant increase in neurodevelopmental delay The identification of small for gestational age fetuses by ultrasound scans and the use of Doppler waveforms to detect which of these have placental dysfunction mean that these fetuses can be monitored antenatally Delivery before hypoxia has produced chronic acidosis, may prevent subsequent damage and good timing of delivery remains the only management option at present. The very different aetiologies of acute vs chronic acidosis and the possible consequences will be reviewed, whether directly caused by the acidosis or indirectly by the hypoxia What is acidosis?"

"text": "Nuchal Cord & Birth Asphyxia A nuchal cord is a complication that occurs when the umbilical cord wraps around the baby’s neck. This is common and occurs in about 20-30% of pregnancies. In some cases, nuchal cords do not impact pregnancy outcomes, but in others, they pose a significant risk of lowered blood flow, hypoxia (low oxygen levels), and delivery complications. Nuchal cords caninterrupt normal blood, nutrient, and oxygen exchange, resulting in serious injuries to the baby. Nuchal cords are oftendetected via ultrasoundwith a precision of up to 83-97% with color Doppler. Doctors manage nuchal cords by preventing umbilical cord compression during labor/delivery or in the weeks leading up to delivery. Because nuchal cords can cause hypoxia, they may be managed with immediate delivery, and in some cases by emergency C-section. If C-section is not performed quickly enough, this can make the effects of hypoxia and ischemia significantly worse. It is paramount that the medical team handling a pregnancy be skilled in handling complications like nuchal cords. It is medical negligence if doctors do not monitor and treat the mother and baby properly, or do not follow standard practices."

The foetal and maternal blood never mix, instead they interface at the placenta. Consequently the liver and the lungs are non-functional, and a series of shunts exist in the foetal circulation so that these organs are almost completely by-passed. Shunt 1: The Ductus Venosus Oxygenated blood travels from the placenta via the umbilical vein and most of it bypasses the liver by way of the ductus venosus. The ductus venosus links the umbilical vein to the caudal vena cava and the flow of blood is controlled by a sphincter, enabling the proportion travelling to the heart via the liver to be altered. Shunt 2: The Foramen Ovale The foramen ovale is an opening between the two atria enabling blood to be channelled directly into the systemic circulation thereby bypassing the lungs. The septum secundum directs the majority of the blood entering the right atrium through the foramen ovale into the left atrium. Here it mixes with a small volume of blood returning from the non-functional lungs via the pulmonary veins. Shunt 3: The Ductus Arteriosus The ductus arteriosus connects the pulmonary artery to the aorta and allows equivalent ventricular function in the foetus."

Identifiers Anatomical terminology [ edit on Wikidata]In animals that give live birth, the fetal circulation is the circulatory system of a fetus. The term usually encompasses the entire fetoplacental circulation, which includes the umbilical cord and the blood vessels within the placenta that carry fetal blood. The fetal (prenatal) circulation works differently from normal postnatal circulation, mainly because the lungs are not in use. Instead, the fetus obtains oxygen and nutrients from the mother through the placenta and the umbilical cord. [ 1] The advent of breathing and the severance of the umbilical cord prompt various neuroendocrine changes that shortly transform fetal circulation into postnatal circulation. The fetal circulation of humans has been extensively studied by the health sciences. Much is known also of fetal circulation in other animals, especially livestock and model organisms such as mice, through the health sciences, veterinary science, and life sciences generally.

When AREDV occurs prenatally, a close follow-up or expeditious delivery should be contemplated. AREDV in the umbilical artery is associated with intraventricular hemorrhage, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and perinatal mortality. It may be associated with respiratory distress syndrome, necrotizing enterocolitis, and long-term neurodevelopmental impairment. Available data suggest that women with high-risk pregnancies, such as preeclampsia, gestational hypertension and intrauterine growth restriction, should be evaluated with umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry to reduce the possibility of perinatal mortality and morbidity. Previous article Next article Key Wordsabsent or reversed end-diastolic velocity fetal growth retardation perinatal mortality placental insufficiencypreeclampsia pregnancy complications Taiwan J Obstet Gynecol • September 2009 • Vol 48 • No 3 225 ■ REVIEW ARTICLE ■ Introduction Doppler velocity measurement has been extensively ap- plied in prenatal diagnosis for more than two decades. Blood flow in numerous vessels has been investigated to predict fetal condition, especially in the umbilical artery [1–7]. Histopathologic studies suggest that ab- normal umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry is correlated with a pathologic lesion of the placenta characterized by obliteration of arterioles in the tertiary stem villi; the umbilical artery flow velocity waveform is primarily de- termined by placental villous vascular architecture [8,9]. The increased placental vascular resistance is reflected as a decreased diastolic phase of the umbilical artery waveform; moreover, end-diastolic flow of the umbilical artery vanishes and ultimately reverses in the progres- sively worsened condition, and absent or reversed end- diastolic velocity (AREDV) flow is finally present in the Doppler waveform [3,4,10,11]. AREDV during preg- nancy is a strong indication of placental insufficiency. Previous studies have clarified that an increased um- bilical artery systolic/diastolic ratio is a significant risk factor for progression of fetal acidosis, fetal distress, preterm delivery, low Apgar scores, and even perinatal death [12–15]. Mortality and morbidity (such as intra- ventricular hemorrhage [IVH], periventricular leukoma- lacia [PVL], bronchopulmonary dysplasia [BPD], respiratory distress syndrome [RDS], necrotizing entero- colitis [NEC], and long-term neurodevelopmental im- pairment) of fetuses with AREDV in the umbilical artery have been well discussed, especially in growth-restricted fetuses [1,2,10,16,17]. When AREDV occurs prenatally, close follow-up or expeditious delivery should be consid- ered. High-risk pregnancies, such as preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), have abnormal development of the placenta vasculature which can be revealed in the abnormal Doppler velocimetry [9,18].

Not adapted Original English Version!Learning Objectives for Peri FACTS Case #680: Upon completion, the learner will be able to: Describe components of fetal heart rate tracing interpretation. Explain the biological characteristics and significance of early, variable, and late decelerations. INTRODUCTIONThe clinical practice of auscultating fetal heart tones began in 1818, when Swiss surgeon Francoise Mayor reported hearing the fetal heart rate (FHR) by placing his ear against a gravid woman’s abdomen. Later, in 1888, an American named Kilian was the first to suggest that FHR information be used to identify the need for intervention for fetal distress. It was not until the 1970s, however, that recording continuous fetal heart rate and uterine activity became widely used in obstetric care. This introduction of electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) as a primary method for assessing fetal well being during labor dramatically altered obstetric practice. It is important to note that, to date, research studies have not demonstrated a significant reduction in overall perinatal morbidity or mortality with the use of continuous EFM as compared with properly performed auscultation by a skilled practitioner. What we have gained from more than three decades of research and experience with EFM is considerable information about the nature and implications of many types of FHR changes. For example, FHR patterns that correlate closely with a favorable neonatal outcome have been identified. Likewise, FHR patterns associated with adverse neonatal outcomes also have been described."

"text": "Fetal circulation Dr Bruno Di Muzio ◈ and Dr Aditya Shetty ◉ et al. Fetal circulation differs from the adult circulation due to the presence of certain vessels and shunts. These shunts will close after birth, and most of these fetal vessels will be seen as remnants in the adult circulation. The function of these shunts is to direct oxygen-rich venous blood to the systemic circulation and to ensure oxygen-deplete venous blood bypasses the underdeveloped pulmonary circulation. There are three shunts in the fetal circulation:ductus venosus (DV)foramen ovale (FO)ductus arteriosus (DA)Pathway for oxygenated blood The lungs finish their development after birth. Before this, the lung's function is taken over by the placenta, which therefore becomes the oxygen-transfer organ during fetal life. Oxygen-rich blood is carried by the umbilical vein from the placenta to the fetus. The umbilical vein enters at the umbilicus and divides into two branches:right umbilical branch passes to the right side of the liver and is joined by the portal vein ; the blood from the liver eventually drains into the inferior vena cava (IVC) via the hepatic veinsleft umbilical branch gets shunted via the ductus venosus into the IVCAppropriate channelling of blow flow is required to ensure sufficient oxygen and nutrient supply to vital organs. This is achieved by unique features of blood vessels which help create differences in velocities and direction of blow flow. Role of ductus venosus The ductus venous diameter is one-third the diameter of the umbilical vein hence the blood is shunted to the IVC under pressure."

Unofficially, they staged their first show four hours earlier, during an informal press conference in an arena meeting room. The first thing Brooks did upon entering the room where two dozen writers, radio and TV hosts, and photographers waited? Apologize for being 30 minutes late. The second thing? Peel off his sweatshirt, in full view of the assembled cameras, giving everyone a glimpse of his ample bare belly - and not for the last time. In his sweatshirt, T-shirt, jeans, running shoes and baseball cap, Brooks - the best-selling solo artist in the history of the music industry - was nearly indistinguishable as he mingled, indulging requests for selfies and answering anything he was asked. He was exceptionally gregarious and unpretentious on the eve of playing to more than 65,000 people during four shows at the Smoothie King Center. He started off the press conference alone, after explaining that \"\"Ms. Yearwood\"\" would be along shortly, after changing out of her flip-flops."

This Horrifying Story Will Make You Think Twice About Using Dry Shampoo April 17, 2016 by Kelsey Garcia First Published: April 11, 2016215 Shares Who would have thought that dry shampoo — our beloved miracle product — could be the cause of one woman's horrifying hair nightmare? In a Facebook post, Nicole Baxter explained how her consistent use of dry shampoo caused a bald patch in her hair. She was diagnosed with triangular alopecia, a typically temporary type of hair loss, after experiencing pain and discomfort related to the spot. \"\" My scalp was also very itchy and flaky. I had wee red sores and blisters all over my scalp and a terrible burning sensation all over my head — to the point where I would wake up several times a night. \"\" Despite her diagnosis, Baxter was still unable to get to the root of the problem (no pun intended). Her doctor then advised her to return for a biopsy without wearing any sort of styling products — including the dry shampoo she had been consistently using. When she came back for the biopsy, the blisters and sores were gone. ADVERTISEMENTBaxter said, \"\"She compared my scalp today to the pictures that were in my file from February and asked what had I done differently in the last six to seven weeks that may have helped it?"

How close did they come? Quite literally within inches. The Americans had to settle for yet another silver medal after dropping a 3-2 heartbreaker to Canada. However, they were certainly in position to win the game late. Team USA held a 2-1 lead with about a minute and a half to play in the third period with a faceoff coming in the American zone. With the Canadian net empty, the American skaters worked to at least clear the zone. The puck went to the boards where Team USA’s Kelli Stack and Canada’s Catherine Ward chased after the puck. For some reason, the linesman got too close to the play and ended up getting in Ward’s way. That allowed Stack to chip the puck down the ice."

They generally twist the hair and threading pulls out a whole row of hair, as opposed to tweezing where only one single hair is pulled out.

That, apparently, wasn’t the plan in Houston, but now it’s a reality. The Rockets were reportedly shopping Howard aggressively but were unable to get any takers. That’s not much of a surprise, though; the 30-year-old can opt out of the final year of his deal with Houston and become a free agent this summer. ESPN sources say Houston also talked Dwight Howard with Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Miami. Looming free agency big obstacle— Marc Stein (@ESPNStein Line) February 18, 2016Still, that teams were unwilling to give up assets for Howard says a lot about his status as a top player in the league: He’s no longer viewed as a cornerstone player. It’s probably a bit unfair, but Howard is largely seen as player who doesn’t really care about winning. A lot of that is based on his time in Los Angeles and his clash with Kobe Bryant.

My mom gave me a lesson in eyebrow plucking just before I entered middle school. I wasn’t the sort of child to care about the bushy unibrow growing above my eyes, but my mom probably knew that my transition into middle school would go better if I had two separate brows.

Of course this sounds like a good proposition to many of us, but it’s not as if it is the first hair removal product to make these claims and then fall short. So how well does it measure up, and is it really going to be your one-stop solution for any unwanted hair, wherever it may grow? Overview Getting rid of unwanted body hair is a pretty recent notion for society. Back in the Victorian Era they weren’t too worried about it, and even up until the 1950’s it didn’t seem like such a big deal. But as modernity marches on, more and more people want to look like the hairless celebrities they see featured in magazines and movies. It’s all part of the ideal image, and one that most people strive for in one way or another. For women, it’s not very feminine to have hair growing on the face, and for men it’s preferred not to have hair on the back, and most male models feature a hairless chest. The Claim Revitol Hair Remover Cream is big on the claims they make. They say that their process is totally pain-free, which would make it preferable over painful things like waxing."

"text": "\"Quick Books Payroll Tip – Tracking Union Fringe Benefits Published January 25, 2011 | By Nancy Smyth Setting up and tracking Union Fringe Benefits in Quick Books can be a fairly straightforward task, after all Union Fringes are just a specified hourly dollar amount that the company pays to the Union on behalf of the employee. Union fringes often consist of contributions to Vacation/Holiday, Health & Welfare, Pension, Training, and sometimes Travel & Subsistence, Savings, or Fund Administration. Depending upon the Union that you are dealing with, some of the fringe benefits could be subject to payroll taxes, while others are not. Most of the time fringes are calculated and paid based on the number of hours the employee works on the jobsite, occasionally, however, they are a based on a percentage of gross pay. Regardless of how they are paid (based on an hourly amount or a percentage of gross) or if they are taxable or not; in Quick Books, each of these specific types of hourly fringe benefits should be set up in the Payroll Item List as Company Contribution items. Now that you know some basic information about Union Fringe Benefits and how you would track them in Quick Books, let’s take it a step further and explore some of the more complex issues. Not every employee will have the same fringe benefit package or the same fringe benefit rates. This is where it becomes more complex. So before you begin setting things up in Quick Books; take the time to plan things out and ask yourself these questions: Do my employees ALWAYS perform work under the same Work Classification/pay rate/fringe rate combination? Is the Work Classification/pay rate/fringe rate combination the same for all the jobs that employees work on?"

"text": "Traps for FBT Exempt & Rebatable Employers - Preparation season is now upon usby Bill d'Apice01 April 2010Share: Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT/ return preparation season is now upon us and it is timely to highlight potential traps for FBT-exempt and rebatable employers when completing the FBT return. Broadly, the FBT exemption allows employers to provide benefits to their employees without having to pay FBT in respect of these benefits. The exemption may be available for publicand non-profit hospitalsand ambulance services (subject to a capping threshold of $17,000 per employee), and to public benevolent institutions and health promotion charities (subject to a capping threshold of $30,000 per employee). The thresholds apply to the grossed-up taxable value of benefits provided. Rebatable employers (such as religious institutions and trade unions), may be entitled to the FBT rebate of 48% of the employer's FBT liability. The rebate is subject to a cap of $30,000 per employee (grossed-up taxable value). Trap 1: Disclosure requirements for FBT-exempt employers These are different to those for most employers, specifically: Where the relevant capping threshold has been exceeded for an employee, only item 13C must be completed with the aggregate grossed-up value of benefits in excess of capping amounts. Many exempt entities incorrectly disclose figures in items 13A and/or 13B. Where a capping threshold has been exceeded for an employee, item 22 requires the disclosure of the total value of taxable benefits provided (with the exception of benefits to be excluded from the capping amounts noted above, including meal entertainment, entertainment facility leasing expenses and car parking benefits). Trap 2: The payment or reimbursement of an employee's car parking expenses and grocery bills are not excluded from the concessional caps The payment or reimbursement of an employee's car parking expenses is an expense payment fringe benefit, and is to be distinguished from an employer providing a car parking benefit. The taxable value of car parking benefits are excluded from the concessional cap."

"text": "8 Types Of Non-Taxable Income By Michael Diaz. May 7th 2016It’s almost time for tax season. Everyone knows that your earned wages will be taxed by the IRS. What many people do not realize is that there are numerous sources of income that are not taxed by the federal government. If you can increase your income from these sources, then you will reduce your overall tax burden. But what are these sources and how can you take advantage of them. Here are eight sources of income that are not taxable under the federal tax code. Interest Earned From Tax Exempt Municipal Bonds As the name suggests, interest earned from tax exempt municipal bonds is not subject to federal taxes. In fact, many states also give state tax exemption if the bonds were issued in the state in which you file your taxes. This tax exemption applies to both individual tax exempt municipal bonds and to shares in tax exempt municipal bond funds."

Your company has elected to use the Wheels Driver Tax Compliance Program as the means for collecting your information and calculating your fringe benefit amount. The information below addresses common questions you may have regarding personal use, the Wheels Driver Tax Compliance Program and your responsibility in this area. The questions are divided into the following categories: Calculation of personal use benefit Driver responsibilities Reporting procedures CALCULATION OF PERSONAL USE BENEFITQ: What is personal use? A: Personal use is the use of a company-provided vehicle for non-business purposes. The following are examples of personal use: Weekend driving unrelated to business Vacation driving Commute mileage Midday drive away from office: solely or primarily for personal reasons (e.g., for personal banking, personal mail, medical appointments, lunch, etc. ) Loan of a car to authorized family member (s) for use unrelated to company business The IRS/CRA considers this use as a taxable fringe benefit from your employer to you."

Employees save on federal income taxes. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act signed into law by the President on December 22, 2017 did make changes to Qualified Transportation Fringe Benefits. Employers may still provide tax-free qualified transportation fringe benefits to employees for parking, transit and commuter highway vehicles. In addition, an employer cannot deduct the expenses for providing tax-free qualified transportation fringe benefits. On the other hand, if an employer treats the transportation fringe benefits as taxable W-2 wages to the employee, the employer can deduct the expenses of providing those benefits. Qualified bicycle commuting reimbursements, previously allowed up to $240 per year, can no longer be provided tax-free. They can continued to provide the bicycle benefit as a taxable benefit."

"text": "August 2005 Volume 1 Number 12Federal Tax Issues Related to Professional Courtesy and Cafeteria Discounts by Joy Bode, Mike Watson and J. A. (“Tony”) Patterson, Jr., Fulbright & Jaworski, L. L. P. Historically, many hospitals have provided discounts on medical services (“professional courtesy discounts”), and cafeteria meals (“cafeteria discounts”) to non-employee physicians on the hospital’s medical staff (“staff physicians”). Some time in the late 1980s and early 1990s, for various reasons, hospitals began discontinuing professional courtesy and cafeteria discounts. One of the driving forces in this change was the enactment of the Stark Law restrictions on physician self-referrals, which affected for-profit and tax-exempt hospitals and hospital systems alike (42 U. S. C. § 1395nn). During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) also weighed in on the topic of professional courtesy and cafeteria discounts with respect to tax-exempt hospitals and hospital systems. During the course of IRS audits of these exempt organizations ( “EOs”), the IRS often raised concerns about the taxability of discounts provided to physicians and the effect of such discounts on the EO’s tax-exempt status. Many of these EOs were forced as part of their settlements with the IRS to discontinue providing discounts to staff physicians. In addition, the IRS often required the EO to send Forms 1099 to physicians who received discounts during a number of previous years, treating such discounts as income. As a result of these audits, many, if not most, EOs discontinued providing cafeteria and professional courtesy discounts to staff physicians. The Stark Law regulations issued March 26, 2004, include an exception that allow hospitals to provide professional courtesy discounts to staff physicians under certain circumstances (69 Fed. Reg."

When and How to Pay and Report Federal Unemployment Taxes Share Flip Pin Email•••By Jean Murray Updated October 12, 2017What is Federal Unemployment Tax? The Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA) is paid by employers to fund the unemployment account of the federal government, which pays employees who leave a company involuntarily. Businesses also may have to pay state unemployment taxes, which are coordinated with the federal unemployment tax. Your responsibility as an employer is to pay unemployment taxes to the IRS and to make reports to the IRS on Form 940. How Do Unemployment Taxes Work? The unemployment tax system works like this: Employers into the system, based on a percentage of total employee wages The amount paid is put into a fund which pays unemployment benefits to employees who have been laid off (not for those who have left voluntarily).

If you receive any of these nontaxable fringe benefits, regardless of whether it’s a cash payment, personal use of company property or an outright gift, your employer does not report them on your W-2 form. Tuition Reimbursements If your employer provides you with a tuition reimbursement for your educational expenses, you can exclude it from your gross income as long as the annual amount doesn’t exceed $5,250 and your employer has a written educational assistance program. Your employer’s assistance program must not provide owners of the company with more than 5 percent of the annual tuition reimbursements, favor highly-compensated employees or allow employees to choose other benefits in lieu of the tuition reimbursement. In addition, your employer must publicize its educational assistance program to all eligible employees. If even one of these requirements isn’t met, the IRS treats the reimbursement you receive as taxable income. Employer Lodging If your employer provides you with free housing, you can exclude the housing value from your gross income if your employer satisfies certain requirements. The lodging must always be on the employer’s premises, acceptance of the on-site housing is a condition of your employment and there must be a business reason for providing the lodging, which means the housing is solely for the convenience of your employer and not yours. De Minimis Benefits There are some fringe benefits your employer may provide that have such little value that the IRS doesn’t require them to be accounted for in your W-2. This typically includes the infrequent meals and transportation your employer pays for when you work overtime, infrequent personal use of company equipment such as copiers or telephones, and the holiday parties your employer caters for you and your colleagues."

Fringe benefits are defined as a form of pay for performance of services given by a company to its employees and/or shareholders as a benefit. Fringe benefits must be included in an employee’s pay unless specifically excluded by law. Please note the actual value of the fringe benefits provided must be determined prior to December 31 in order to allow for the timely withholding and depositing of payroll taxes. Below you will find important information regarding the identification and accounting for several customarily provided fringe benefits. Please be aware that the 2016 tax year Forms W-2 and 1099-MISC (with income reported in Box 7) are now due to the IRS by January 31, 2017. The failure to include taxable fringe benefits in an employee’s/shareholder’s Form W‑2 may result in lost deductions and additional tax and civil penalties. Common Taxable Fringe Benefits Employer-paid group-term life insurance coverage in excess of $50,000 This fringe benefit is subject to the withholding of Social Security and Medicare taxes (FICA) only. Though the amount is included in gross wages, federal and state income tax withholding is not required. Employee business expense reimbursements/allowances under non-accountable plans Any payments of an allowance/reimbursement of business expenses for which the employee does not provide an adequate accounting (i.e., substantiation with receipts or other records), or return any excess allowance/reimbursement to the company, is considered to have been provided under a non-accountable plan and are required to be treated as taxable wages for purposes of federal, state and local (if applicable) income tax withholding; employer and employee FICA tax; and federal and state unemployment taxes (FUTA and SUTA)."

"text": "Printable version Fringe benefits tax - a guide for employers This document has changed over time. View its history. Chapter 20 - Fringe benefits tax exempt benefits20.1 What is an exempt benefit? A number of benefits are exempt from fringe benefits tax (FBT). Although these are popularly called 'exempt fringe benefits', they are referred to in the FBT legislation as 'exempt benefits' - in fact, by definition, an exempt benefit can't be a fringe benefit. Exempt benefits are not only exempt from FBT, they are also (with one exception) exempt from income tax in the hands of the employee to whom they are provided. The exception relates to car expense payments, which is explained in section 20.2 .20.2 Transport exemptions Cars There are circumstances in which private use of a car may be exempt from FBT. An employee's private use of a taxi, panel van or a utility designed to carry less than one tonne, or any other road vehicle designed to carry a load of less than one tonne (that is, one not designed principally to carry passengers) is exempt if their private use of such a vehicle is limited to:travel between home and worktravel that is incidental to travel in the course of performing employment-related dutiesnon-work-related use that is minor, infrequent and irregular - for example, occasional use of the vehicle to remove domestic rubbish. Example: Exempt use An electrical company employee takes the company van (carrying capacity of less than one tonne) home each night because there is no security at the company premises. The only non-work-related use during the FBT year was a trip to pick up some furniture and take it to the employee's home - this use of the van would be exempt from FBT."

"text": "Business Day United Airlines Delays Flights Because of Computer Problem By JAD MOUAWAD JUNE 2, 2015A United Airlines jet parked at Newark Liberty International Airport. Julio Cortez/Associated Press United Airlines flights were grounded Tuesday morning because of an unidentified computer problem, leading to widespread delays. The airline said it began delaying all flights at 9 a.m. Eastern time until it made sure its planes could take off “with proper dispatching information.” It did not explain the nature of the problem but said departures resumed about 40 minutes later. United said the ground stop affected about 150 flights, or 8 percent of its morning schedule. Some stranded passengers reported on social media networks that pilots were telling them the delays were caused by erroneous flight plans. All United flights at IAD are held up because erroneous flight plans have been filed and need to be redone. Anyone know more? I am stuck.— Stuart Staniford (@stuartstaniford) June 2, 2015The grounding coincided with reports of bomb threats made against several carriers, including a United flight, but those turned out to be unfounded."

"text": "Best and Worst Airlines According to Consumer Reports Readers In our latest survey, 55,000 members rate carriers on staff service, seat comfort, pricing transparency and more By Octavio Blanco March 13, 2018For most passengers, air travel has become a constant struggle to avoid ultra-tight seating, hefty luggage fees, and itinerary-wrecking delays. But a small number of carriers deliver consistently good travel experiences, according to our readers in the latest airline ratings survey conducted by Consumer Reports. To identify the best and worst airlines, we surveyed more than 55,000 members last summer, who reported on nearly 98,000 domestic economy flights and 8,700 first-class and business-class flights. These readers weighed in on almost a dozen factors, including their airline seat’s comfort and legroom, cleanliness, service by airline staff, food and beverage selection, Wi Fi connectivity, and pricing transparency. More On Airline Travel Secrets to Stress-Free Flying How to Get the Cheapest Airfares When Booking Flights for Several People Why You May Want to Fly a European Airline on Your Next Trip Out of the 11 airlines surveyed, Southwest landed at the top of the ratings chart for overall satisfaction by passengers on economy flights. It earned high scores for staff service and ease of check-in, and cabin cleanliness. And it was the only airline to earn top marks for pricing transparency—this no-frills carrier clearly lists its fees and lets you check two bags for free. Alaska Airlines, Jet Blue, Virgin America, and Hawaiian Airlines are also among the highest rated airlines for economy flights. Like Southwest, these airlines also received favorable ratings for staff service, check-in ease, and cabin cleanliness. Among the lowest-rated airlines by coach passengers are Frontier, Spirit, United, American and Allegiant Airlines."

Here's how to claim compensation ... which could be as much as £480Passengers can claim compensation for flight delays going back six years If flights are disrupted by ordinary technical faults, airlines must pay out Flights delayed or cancelled due to extraordinary circumstances exempt By Fred Mawer For Mail On Sunday Published: 03:00 EDT, 27 November 2014 | Updated: 05:27 EDT, 27 November 2014160shares84View comments There's been some good news recently for flyers. Supreme Court rulings last month have improved the likelihood of getting compensation if your flight has been disrupted. Under EU rules, when a flight is delayed or cancelled, airlines can avoid having to pay compensation if it's due to 'extraordinary circumstances'. All too often, they have cited technical problems with aircraft as being an example of extraordinary circumstances. But thanks to one of the court rulings, it is clear that airlines are obliged to pay compensation for flights that have been disrupted by ordinary technical faults. Scroll down for video+3New Supreme Court rulings have improved the likelihood of getting compensation for disrupted flights The other ruling, made against Thomson, has spelt out that passengers can claim compensation for flight delays going back six years - the holiday firm had been dealing with claims related to incidents up to a maximum of two years. The Civil Aviation Authority says that where airlines have put claims on hold pending the court's decisions, they should now pay any compensation due.

"text": "Review: United Airlines 787 Dreamliner Business First, Houston to Lagosby Brad · May 28, 2014@bta7Although I was flying to a new and exciting destination, the initial part of this trip was pretty typical for me, with domestic flights on United. Thankfully, they were uneventful, and actually arrived ahead of schedule. I got to Houston with plenty of time to relax before the long flight to Lagos. Unfortunately, when I checked this status upon landing, this flight had already posted a delay. It was strange in that the inbound flight (from Heathrow) had arrived on time, but it seems like it was some sort of scheduled maintenance on the 787. Sigh…While waiting, I looked at other options to get to Lagos, but the nonstop from Houston is one of the last international departures of the day, so there weren’t really any other reasonable options. I also had a separate ticket to Accra that was looking pretty certain I would miss that flight. I’ll talk about that soon. Despite having a ‘first class’ meal on the flight from O’Hare to Houston, I began to get pretty hungry. Both many of the restaurants in Houston, and the United club were about to close."

"text": "United Airlines Ticket Change Fee Rises to $200-$300 and Airline Ticket Change Fees Compared April 20, 2013 0United Airlines has quietly raised its ticket change fee by $50 to $200-$300 on paid tickets, from the previous change fee of $150-$250. United doesn't make the ticket change fee easy to see for paid tickets, but you can easily view it with a search on ITA, clicking on the “Rules” link and scrolling down to the Penalties section. Here's an example from a domestic U. S. roundtrip ticket: Not surprisingly, United isn't exactly publicizing the change, although at least one competitor, American Airlines, has taken notice and emailed some of its elites the following, touting its Choice Essential fare that bundles in free ticket changes:“Dear [AAdvantage Elite member name]Do your travel plans sometimes change? With our new travel options, such as Choice Essential, you have the freedom to change your flight without a change fee. Additionally, with Choice Essential, you'll receive one checked bag and early boarding, all designed to make your travel experience more enjoyable. Since you are an AAdvantage elite status member, a third checked bag is included. Learn more about the flexibility of Choice Essential and our other customized travel options. ”While it's still possible to buy a bare bones nonrefundable ticket on American, the Choice Essential and Choice Plus fares, introduced in December 2012, allow you to include ticket fee changes (Choice Essential) for an additional $68, or ticket fee changes, same day standby and same day flight change fees (Choice Plus) for an additional $88, for domestic tickets. Here's a chart courtesy of Flyer Talk poster SFO777So far United, Delta and US Airways don't have anything similar to American's Choice fares. If you buy a paid ticket, you either buy a cheap nonrefundable ticket and will pay change fees, or buy an expensive full fare refundable ticket, which isn't worth it for most travellers."

If you think flying is stressful, just imagine how the experience must impact an innocent, unknowing dog or cat when packed away in the cargo hold of a commercial jet. Air travel, in fact, is not just stressful for animals. It can be dangerous, no matter how smooth the landing, timely the departure or friendly the flight attendants. Conditions in the cargo hold of commercial jets are not always friendly; temperatures can fluctuate wildly, noise can be tremendous and air pressure can drop significantly, and pets that are checked into this dark space beneath the passenger cabin sometimes die. In 2011, thirty-five pets died while (or shortly before or after) traveling on commercial flights with U. S. airline companies. Nine animals were injured and two lost entirely. And in 2012, 29 pets died, 26 were injured and one was lost."

You may improve this article, discuss the issue on the talk page, or create a new article, as appropriate. ( May 2013) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)One of the flights shown here is delayed A flight delay is when an airline flight takes off and/or lands later than its scheduled time. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) considers a flight to be delayed when it is 15 minutes later than its scheduled time. A cancellation occurs when the airline does not operate the flight at all for a certain reason. In the European Union, Flight Compensation Regulation 261/2004 states that flight delays for over three hours, cancellations and denied boarding entitles passengers to a compensation from €250 up to €600 per passenger from the airline. [ 1]In the United States, when flights are canceled or delayed, passengers may be entitled to compensation due to rules obeyed by every flight company, usually Rule 240, or Rule 218 in certain locations. This rule usually specifies that passengers may be entitled to certain reimbursements, including a free room if the next flight is the day after the canceled one, a choice of reimbursement, rerouting, phone calls, and refreshments. When a flight is delayed, the FAA allocates slots for takeoffs and landings based on which flight is scheduled first. [ 2] The Transportation Department imposes a fine of up to $27,500 per passenger for planes left on the tarmac for more than three hours without taking off (four hours for international flights). ["

"text": "Recognizing the significant strain placed by flight delays on the U. S. air transportation system, in August 2008 the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) commissioned five NEXTOR universities (UC Berkeley, MIT, George Mason University, the University of Maryland and Virginia Tech) and the Brattle Group to conduct a comprehensive study on the total delay impact (TDI) in the United States. On December 16, 2010, NEXTOR published its revised final report, entitled Total Delay Impact Study: A Comprehensive Assessment of the Costs and Impacts of Flight Delay in the United States. The study analyzed data from 2007 to calculate the economic impact of flight delays on airlines and passengers, the costs of lost demand, and the toll on U. S. gross domestic product (GDP). Growing delays threaten the competitiveness of the U. S. in the world economy by limiting the ability of the air transport system to serve the needs of the U. S. economy… In addition to improving business performance generally, air transport impacts the economy through the jobs and revenue it directly creates in air transport-related industries, the expenditures of air travelers on auxiliary goods and services, and the secondary impacts that result as these dollars recycle throughout the economy. The authors found that increased delays directly correlate with increased costs:“ Flight delay is a serious and widespread problem in the United States. Increasing flight delays place a significant strain on the U. S. air travel system and cost airlines, passengers and society many billions of dollars each year… The $8.3 billion airline component consists of increased expenses for crew, fuel and maintenance, among others. The $16.7 billion passenger component is based on the passenger time lost due to schedule buffer, delayed flights, flight cancellations and missed connections. The $2.2 billion cost from lost demand is an estimate of the welfare loss incurred by passengers who avoid air travel as the result of delays…In addition to these direct costs imposed on the airline industry and its customers, flight delays have indirect effects on the U. S. economy. Specifically, inefficiency in the air transportation sector increases the cost of doing business for other sectors, making the associated business less productive… The TDI team estimates that air transportation delays reduced the 2007 U. S. GDP by $4 billion. One can certainly expect that new aviation technologies and procedures, including those associated with the Next Generation Air Transportation System (Next Gen), coupled with appropriate government policies and infrastructure investments, have the potential to reduce the identified costs by a very large percentage."

"text": "Passenger Rights Aug 12, 2015What Does My Airline Owe Me If It Cancels My Flight? Jessica Labrencis See recent posts by Jessica [email protected] Dear Jessica,What does my airline owe me if it cancels my flight?—P. F. Dear P. F.,Airlines do not guarantee flight schedules, so flight times are subject to change. In most cases, you shouldn’t expect much if a flight is cancelled. Airlines cancel flights for many reasons, and the compensation you’re entitled to depends on the circumstances of the cancellation. Some airlines will attempt to contact passengers if the flight is canceled prior to the day of departure, using contact information from the reservations process. And, airlines suggest that passengers confirm their itineraries at least 24 hours prior to departure. If an airline cancels for reasons beyond its control (e.g., weather, air traffic delays, or a strike), it will not, in most cases, offer compensation to delayed passengers. However, if a flight is cancelled due to events within the airline’s control (e.g., required maintenance, lack of flight crew), travelers may be entitled to compensation. The first step airlines make is to rebook you on the next flight with available seats, in the same class of service as your original flight, at no additional charge. Some (but not all) airlines will rebook passengers in a higher class of service if the original class is full."

"text": "\" ( updated Jan. 1, 2014)Here's some very useful information about changing or canceling an airfare within 24 hours of booking, as well as tips about getting a refund or making a change outside the 24-hour window. If you use Twitter or Facebook, please do hit the \"\"Tweet\"\" or \"\"Like\"\" button at the top of this post, because I'm pretty sure your followers will find this essential information. Non-refundable airfares are much cheaper than refundable ones, but if you cancel or change your flight, you'll pay a hefty fee. But there are some loopholes and workarounds. If you are booking an airfare in the United States, U. S. Department of Transportation regulations require that, as long as you've booked a non-refundable ticket 7 days ahead of your flight, you're entitled to hold your reservation and the fare and change or cancel your reservation within 24 hours of booking, without paying a cancellation fee (typically $200 on the remaining large \"\"network\"\" carriers for a domestic fare, but much more (up to $450 for some international fares), a bit less on other airlines, as this chart shows. You can either cancel the reservation entirely, or change it, within the 24-hour window. If you change it however, a fare difference may apply, but there is no change penalty. This applies not just to U. S.-based airlines, but any airline selling airfares in the U. S. You still have to pay for the airfare, and then get a refund without penalty, except that American Airlines is a bit different in that it allows you to hold your seat and the fare for 24 hours without paying for it. On American, you should NOT pay for the fare, but merely choose the 24-hour hold option without payment. If you pay for the fare rather than holding it, you will be hit with a change/cancel fee on American!"

S. Constitution, \"\"There were Indians, also, in several, and probably in most, of the states at that period, who were not treated as citizens, and yet, who did not form a part of independent communities or tribes, exercising general sovereignty and powers of government within the boundaries of the states. \"\" Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution states that \"\"Congress shall have the power to regulate Commerce with foreign nations and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes\"\", [2] determining that Indian tribes were separate from the federal government, the states, and foreign nations; [3] and The Fourteenth Amendment, Section 2 amends the apportionment of representatives in Article I, Section 2 above. [ 4]These basic provisions have been changed or clarified by various federal laws over the history of the United States. Regulate historically meant facilitate, rather than control or direct in the more modern sense. Therefore, the Congress of these United States was to be the facilitator of commerce between the states and the tribes. [ 5]These Constitutional provisions, and subsequent interpretations by the Supreme Court (see below), are today often summarized in three principles of U. S. Indian law: [6] [7] [8]Territorial sovereignty: Tribal authority on Indian land is organic and is not granted by the states in which Indian lands are located. Plenary power doctrine: Congress, and not the Executive Branch, has ultimate authority with regard to matters affecting the Indian tribes."

Beyond issues common to all jurisdictions attempting to regulate water's uses, water law in the United States must contend with: Public regulation of waters, including flood control, environmental regulation —state and federal, public health regulation and regulation of fisheries The interplay of public and private rights in water, which draws on aspects of eminent domain law and the federal commerce clause powers;Water project law: the highly developed law regarding the formation, operation, and finance of public and quasi-public entities which operate local public works of flood control, navigation control, irrigation, and avoidance of environmental degradation; and Treaty rights of Native Americans. The law governing these topics derives from all layers of US law. Some derives from common law principles which have developed over centuries, and which evolve as the nature of disputes presented to courts change. For example, the judicial approach to landowner rights to divert surface waters has changed significantly in the last century as public attitudes about land and water have evolved. Some derives from state statutory law. Some derives from the original public grants of land to the states and from the documents of their origination. Some derives from state, federal, and local regulation of waters through zoning, public health, and other regulation.

By James Ho August 25, 2015In response to increasing frustration with illegal immigration, lawmakers and activists are hotly debating various proposals to combat incentives to enter the United States outside legal channels. Economic opportunity is the strongest attraction, of course. But another magnet, some contend, is a long-standing provision of U. S. law that confers citizenship upon persons born within our borders. [ 1]There is increasing interest in repealing birthright citizenship for the children of aliens – especially undocumented persons. According to one recent poll, 49 percent of Americans believe that a child of an illegal alien should not be entitled to U. S. citizenship (41 percent disagree). [ 2] Legal scholars including Judge Richard Posner contend that birthright citizenship for the children of aliens may be repealed by statute. [ 3] Members of the current Congress have introduced legislation and held hearings, [4] following bipartisan efforts during the 1990s led by now-Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and others.

Schultz, editor (Phoenix, AZ: The Oryx Press, 2000), pp. 569-580. ISBN: 1573561495] Native American issues in late 20th century American politics present the same basic conflicts as in the late 18th century: land and water rights, hunting and fishing, religious freedom, criminal and civil jurisdiction. That this may be surprising is itself evidence of suppression of an accurate history of the United States. Neither the indigenous histories and concerns of native peoples nor the complex relations between them and the Euro-Americans can be comprehended by the providential history that has generally passed for the actual history of the United States. To include these would undermine the construction of the particular ideological history that has shaped \"\"America\"\" as a virgin land settled by God's chosen people.... [O'Connell, xvii] America was not a virgin land when the United States was formed, nor previously in the colonial era. From the earliest days to the present, Native Americans have been a factor in American politics. In an even wider perspective, current Native American issues reflect the scope and content of relations between indigenous peoples and colonizers on the continent as a whole beginning over five centuries ago: Wampanoag and Narraganset fishermen charged with violations of Massachusetts and Rhode Island regulations for fishing in ocean bays where their peoples have fished since time immemorial; United States antagonism to traditional leadership of Hopi and Western Shoshone peoples; Alaska native land title ignored or denied; native spirituality interfered with or destroyed by government action; civil and criminal jurisdiction over Native Americans on their own lands the subject of heated controversy. These are only a very small sample of 20th century conflicts that can also be dated in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. There are from time to time nationally and internationally visible \"\"hot spots\"\" -- Ojibwa fishing in Wisconsin and Puyallup fishing in Washington, Black Hills in the Dakotas and 2 Big Mountain in Navajo and Hopi territory, Venetie Village in Alaska and Mohawk communities on the New York-Canadian border, Pequot gaming in Connecticut and Seminole gaming in Florida."

"text": "\"In the United States, persons of Native American descent occupy a unique legal position. On the one hand, they are U. S. citizens and are entitled to the same legal rights and protections under the Constitution that all other U. S. citizens enjoy. On the other hand, they are members of self-governing tribes whose existence far predates the arrival of Europeans on American shores. They are the descendants of peoples who had their own inherent rights—rights that required no validation or legitimation from the newcomers who found their way onto their soil. These combined, and in many ways conflicting, legal positions have resulted in a complex relationship between Native American tribes and the federal government. Although the historic events and specific details of each tribe's situation vary considerably, the legal rights and status maintained by Native Americans are the result of their shared history of wrestling with the U. S. government over such issues as tribal sovereignty, shifting government policies, treaties that were made and often broken, and conflicting latter-day interpretations of those treaties. The result today is that although Native Americans enjoy the same legal rights as every other U. S. citizen, they also retain unique rights in such areas as hunting and fishing, water use, and gaming operations. In general, these rights are based on the legal foundations of tribal sovereignty, treaty provisions, and the \"\"reserved rights\"\" doctrine, which holds that Native Americans retain all rights not explicitly abrogated in treaties or other legislation.

[ 1] The regulation defined the scope of federal water protection in a more consistent manner, particularly over streams and wetlands which have a significant hydrological and ecological connection to traditional navigable waters, interstate waters, and territorial seas. It is also referred to as the Waters of the United States rule, which defines all bodies of water that fall under U. S. federal jurisdiction. The rule was published in response to concerns about lack of clarity over its scope from legislators at multiple levels, industry members, researchers and other science professionals, activists, and citizens.

"text": "Land Tenure History Key factors that have shaped U. S. Indian policy and led to the fractured state of Indian land tenure in Indian Country today include countless federal laws and legislative acts. Perhaps the single most devastating federal policy was the General Allotment Act of 1887, also called the Dawes Act after Senator Henry Dawes, the Act’s lead proponent. History of Allotment The U. S. federal government began the policy of allotting Indian land as early as 1798. Several treaties with Indian tribes included provisions that stated land would be divided among their individual members. After 1871, however, Congress declared that no further treaties would be made and all future dealings with Indians would be conducted through legislation. Why Allotment? There were several reasons that allotment proponents supported the policy. First, many of them considered the Indian way of life and collective use of land to be communistic and backwards. They also saw the individual ownership of private property as an essential part of civilization that would give Indian people a reason to stay in one place, cultivate land, disregard the cohesiveness of the tribe, and adopt the habits, practices and interests of the American settler population. Furthermore, many thought that Indian people had too much land and they were eager to see Indian lands opened up for settlement as well as for railroads, mining, forestry and other industries."

Wilkins, 112 U. S. 94 (1884), was a United States Supreme Court case respecting the citizenship status of Indians. John Elk, a Winnebago Indian, was born on an Indian reservation and later resided with whites on the non-reservation US territory in Omaha, Nebraska, where he renounced his former tribal allegiance and claimed citizenship by virtue of the Citizenship Clause. [ 1] The case came about after Elk tried to register to vote on April 5, 1880 and was denied by Charles Wilkins, the named defendant, who was registrar of voters of the Fifth ward of the City of Omaha. The court decided that even though Elk was born in the United States, he was not a citizen because he owed allegiance to his tribe when he was born rather than to the U. S. and therefore was not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States when he was born. The decision was later reversed with the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924. Contents [ hide ]1 Background2 Decision3 Subsequent legislation4 See also5 References6 External links Background [ edit]The question then was whether an Indian born a member of one of the Indian tribes within the United States is, merely by reason of his or her birth within the United States and of his afterward voluntarily separating him or herself from the tribe and taking up residence among white citizens, a citizen of the United States within the meaning of the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution.

And there is a system of administrative hearings to help resolve disputes when a local or state government agency takes an action against an individual or business. This section explains the different types of courts in California and gives you an overview of how court cases work.

The California Constitution also establishes the Judicial Council, which is the governing body of the California courts and is chaired by the California Supreme Court Chief Justice. Trial Courts Trial courts are also called \"\"superior courts.\"\" In the trial or superior court, a judge, and sometimes a jury, hears testimony and evidence and decides a case by applying the law to the facts of the case. Superior courts handle: All civil cases (family law, probate, juvenile, and other civil cases);All criminal cases (felonies, misdemeanors, and infractions, like traffic tickets);Small claims cases and appeals of small claims cases;Appeals of civil cases involving $25,000 or less; and Appeals of infraction (like traffic) and misdemeanor cases.

Federal laws vest the Department of Justice with primary jurisdiction over most felonies that occur on Indian lands in most states. As such, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the United States Attorneys' Offices are the primary federal law enforcement agencies responsible for investigating and prosecuting most serious felony crimes that occur in Indian country including homicides, aggravated assaults, sex offenses, and large scale theft or embezzlement. Other federal law enforcement agencies are also active in Indian country; for example, the Drug Enforcement Administration (drug offenses), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (firearms offenses and arson), United States Marshals Service (fugitives and sex offender investigations), and Customs and Border Protection (border offenses). Most common less serious misdemeanor crimes are usually investigated and prosecuted by tribal law enforcement agencies. Tribal police and tribal courts handle the majority of criminal offenses occurring in Indian country and often do so in ways that are appropriate given the priorities, needs, and resources of each particular tribal community. Federal Bureau of Investigation The Federal Bureau of Investigation provides Special Agents who investigate serious felony crimes in Indian country. The FBI has a number of field offices located on or near Indian reservations. In addition, the FBI is home to the Indian Country Special Crimes Unit (ICSCU). The mission of the ICSCU is to develop and implement strategies to address the most egregious crime problems in Indian Country where the FBI has responsibility and to support joint investigative efforts with the BIA, Tribal law enforcement agencies, and Safe Trails Task Force personnel."

The objective of the CWA is to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation's waters. The 1977 law continued the FWPCA requirements to set water quality standards for all surface waters. It also established the basic structure for regulating discharges of pollutants into the waters of the United States and for addressing problems of nonpoint source pollution. The CWA gave the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) authority to implement pollution control programs and to delegate the authority to do so to states and Indian tribes.

The tribe is headquartered in New York, where the tribe originated and held its historic territory long before European colonialism. It is an Iroquoian-speaking people, and its early nation was one of the Five Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy, or Haudenosaunee. Three other recognized Oneida tribes operate in locations where they migrated during and after the American Revolutionary War: one in Wisconsin in the United States, and two in Ontario, Canada. Today the Oneida Indian Nation owns tribal land in Verona, Oneida, and Canastota, New York, on which it operates a number of businesses. These include a resort with a Class III gambling casino. Since the late 20th century, the OIN has been a party to land claim suits against the state of New York for treaties and purchases made after the American Revolutionary War without ratification by the United States Senate, as required under the US Constitution. Litigation has been complex, related to trust lands, property, and collection of sales taxes. A landmark agreement entered into on May 16, 2013 resolved this and many other issues.

The work of Community Corrections employees revolves around monitoring defendants and other people under supervision and offering them access to programs and services designed to discourage future law-breaking behavior. In addition to the monitoring and program access, the emphasis with adult offenders and juvenile delinquents over the last 10 years has been focused on changing behaviors through the use of evidence-based practices. Community corrections programs, which are alternatives to confinement, include pretrial services, diversion, probation, parole, and community-based residential and non-residential programs (e.g., day reporting centers and halfway houses). It should be noted that in some jurisdictions, those who work in the community corrections arena are certified peace officers, and training reflects not only this role, but the roles previously stated (see pre-service training area for more detail). Community Corrections agencies supervise most of the adult and juvenile correctional populations in local, state, federal, and tribal jurisdictions across the United States. To learn more about how Community Corrections is administered within these jurisdictions, click on the links below. Local and State Federal Tribal Local and State Pretrial services can be administered by a wide array of agencies and organizations including, but not limited to: local government, state agency, non-profit organization or court. Diversion services (designed to divert an individuals’ further involvement with the justice system) are often administered by pretrial or probation agencies; however, these programs can also be overseen by the prosecutor’s office, the court or nonprofit organizations.

The 1978 and 1983 amendments to the Constitution decreased the powers of the executive and increased those of the legislature, but the executive branch of government remains the dominant power in the governmental system as defined by the Constitution. The executive organ is headed by the president and two vice presidents. They, together with the twelve ministers of state, make up the Cabinet Council, which is given several important powers, including decreeing a state of emergency and suspending constitutional guarantees, nominating members of the Supreme Court, and overseeing national finances, including the national debt. These officials, together with the FDP commander, attorney general, solicitor general, president of the Legislative Assembly, directors general of various autonomous and semiautonomous state agencies, and president of the provincial councils, make up the General Council of State, which has purely advisory functions. The president and the two vice presidents, who must be nativeborn Panamanians and at least thirty-five years of age, are elected to five-year terms by direct popular vote. Candidates may not be related directly to the incumbent president or have served as president or vice president during the two preceding terms. Should the president resign or be otherwise removed from office, as was the case with President Ardito Barletta in 1985, he is replaced by the first vice president, and there is no provision for filling the vacancy thus created in the vice presidential ranks. Under the Constitution, the president has the exclusive right to appoint or remove ministers of state, maintain public order, appoint one of the three members of the Electoral Tribunal, conduct foreign relations, and veto laws passed by the Legislative Assembly. In theory a veto may be overridden by a two-thirds majority vote of the assembly."

Once, all fats were deemed unhealthy, and responsible for all manner of diseases, from cardiovascular disease to diabetes. But years of research have changed our thinking. We now start with the premise that all fats are not created equal—that there are good fats, bad fats, possibly-not-so-bad fats, and very bad fats. Let's take a closer look: The Good: Unsaturated Fats Even today, some people need convincing that the term good fats is not an oxymoron. These unsaturated fats help fight the very diseases that consuming excess fat was said to cause. Unsaturated fats are divided into monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats, and both types are thought to have beneficial effects on cholesterol levels. Monounsaturated fats help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol while also boosting HDL (good) cholesterol. Polyunsaturated fats are also thought to help lower total and bad cholesterol. But monounsaturated fats tend to be favored over polyunsaturated fats because some research suggests that polyunsaturated fats are less stable, and can reduce levels of good cholesterol as well as bad."

Certain nuts are also high in \"\"good\"\" fats which can help lower your risk for heart disease. Let's go a bit deeper into the nutritional content of nuts, including which nuts you should opt to munch on to optimize your heart health. Nuts Are High in Fat, So How Do They Lower Your Risk for Heart Disease? Nuts, such as almonds, pistachios, and walnuts, contain high amounts of unsaturated fat or “good” fats, which increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and lower low-density lipoprotein ( LDL ). LDL is a “bad” cholesterol because it clogs up your arteries. This is why high LDL levels increase a person's risk of heart attacks and strokes. HDL, on the other hand, is your \"\"good\"\" cholesterol because it carries \"\"bad\"\" cholesterol away from the arteries to the liver. Lower HDL levels are linked to heart disease whereas higher HDL levels may actually help prevent heart attacks and strokes. While nuts lower your risk of heart disease by lowering your LDL cholesterol, research suggests that the frequent eating of nuts benefits the heart beyond this cholesterol lowering."

Understanding the role fats play in the human body can help us include the right type of fat in our diet. Fats help with the absorption of the ‘fat soluble’ vitamins - vitamin A and the carotenoids, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin K. Fatty acids, the building blocks of many important substances in the body, are essential to cell membranes, maintaining a regular heart beat, providing an anti-inflammatory function, regulating cholesterol and contributing to brain and eye development in a developing baby. Fats provide a concentrated source of energy (calories) therefore eating too much can lead to weight gain. The optimum amount of fat in our diet depends on our stage of life. Extremely low fat diets will limit the amount of fat soluble vitamins and essential fats in our diet. There are 3 main types of fats: saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and two types of unsaturated fatty acids - monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). For adults fat intake should not exceed more than 33% of total food energy intake, limiting saturated fat to 11% of food energy intake. This equates to a maximum overall daily fat intake of 95g for men and 70g for women, of which saturates should be no more than 30g and 20g respectively. Mono- and poly- unsaturated fats should each provide around one third of our fat intake."

Fat is a necessary nutrient for using fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and a dense energy source. Additionally, the fat in the diet helps with growth, brain and nervous system function, healthy skin, bone protection, insulation, and works as a cushion for your organs. But not all fats are the same or provide the same health benefits. All foods containing fats have a varying mixture of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends that healthy adults should consume fats at a range of 20-35 percent of their total daily energy intake. They also recommend an increased consumption of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and limited intake of saturated and trans fats. All fats provide 9 calories per gram, but depending on if they are in concentrated oil form or solid, the per tablespoon calories change. On average, a tablespoon of oil is about 120 calories. Whether the fats you eat are in liquid form like oil, or solid form like margarine, they become broken down by your body into fatty acids and glycerol."

Common sources of polyunsaturated fat are safflower, sesame and sunflower seeds, corn and soybeans, many nuts and seeds, and their oils. Monounsaturated oils are liquid at room temperature but start to solidify at refrigerator temperatures. Canola, olive, and peanut oils, and avocados are sources of monounsaturated fat.

Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Recommended Total Fat Intake for Women The amount of total fat women need is expressed as an Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range, or AMDR, which represents the minimum amount of fat needed to stay healthy and the maximum amount you can consume without increasing the risk of chronic disease. According to this recommendation, 20 to 35 percent of total daily calories should come from fat. Based on a consumption of 2,000 calories daily, the range is 400 to 700 calories from fat, which works out to 44 grams to 78 grams of fat daily. Rather than choosing a percentage, simplify the process and go with 30 percent of daily calories, which is the amount used by the Cleveland Clinic to calculate fat intake recommendations. Most women need 1,600 to 2,400 calories daily, depending on age and activity level, reports the Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion. Using an intake of 30 percent of calories from fat, women who consume 1,600 calories need 53 grams of fat daily."

Oct. 03, 2017Peanut butter contains healthy unsaturated fats and unhealthy saturated fats, but the mere presence of bad fat does not suddenly kick it into the unhealthy camp, according to Harvard Health Publications. It's more important to look at the ratio of good to bad fats. As long as you stay within daily fat and calorie goals, the benefits you'll gain from the high amount of good fats in peanut butter outweigh any bad fats.

These good fats, when used in moderation, can benefit your health by decreasing your risk for certain diseases such as heart disease. Unsaturated fats lower bad cholesterol and improve good cholesterol, according to Harvard Health Publications. You'll get these healthy fats from fish oils and plant-based foods, such as vegetable oils, nuts, seeds and soybean oil. Two tablespoons of peanut butter contain 8 grams of monounsaturated fats and 4 grams of polyunsaturated fats. Bad Fats Saturated and trans fats are considered the bad fats because they have a negative effect on heart health. Saturated fats increase levels of bad cholesterol without affecting good cholesterol."

And fat isn't only tasty, it's also an essential nutrient we need to survive. Fat maintains cell membranes and blood vessels, it helps produce essential hormones that regulate numerous bodily functions, it provides your body with energy, and helps maintain healthy skin and hair. Fat is also required in order to absorb the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K which are essential for proper function of your eyes, immune system, and bones. But when it comes to fat, it's not all good news. The crucial fact is, not all fats are created equal. Some fats harm, some fats heal One of the biggest conclusions drawn from over 50 years of research into eating patterns throughout the Mediterranean and Asia, is that saturated fat (found in high amounts in red meat and dairy products) plays a pivotal roll in the onset of many chronic diseases."

A good working understanding of just what they are and how they work is an essential part of any well conceived diet. Fats and oils, certainly as much and perhaps more than any other single dietary component, directly impact our health in profound ways. The difference between fats and oils is in their melting point. Fats tend to be solids at room temperature; oils tend to be liquid at room temperature. To turn a fat into an oil, merely raise its temperature above its melting point. If the temperature continues to increase beyond the melting point to the point where some smoke becomes evident, the molecular structure of the oils will change and a number of toxic molecular isomers will be produced in the oil. If the oil is allowed to cool or to resolidify, the toxic products will remain. The temperatures where this damage is done to our fats and oils is about half the temperatures reached in the refining and Hydrogenation processes.

These infectious pathogens are highly contagious, especially when dogs congregate in high-density areas such as pet stores, animal shelters, boarding facilities, dog parks or dog shows, and even more so when those areas are not kept clean. Immunocompromised dogs, puppies and unvaccinated dogs are at an increased risk for developing URT disease. Bacteria and Viruses Bordetella bronchiseptica is the most common primary bacterial pathogen causing canine URT infection (it causes infectious tracheobronchitis, commonly called “kennel cough”). The signs associated with URT infection caused by Bordetella bronchiseptica are indistinguishable from the early signs caused by secondary bacterial pathogens, including Pseudomonas, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Pasteurella, Streptococcus, Mycoplasma and several other bacterial species. Viral causes of canine upper respiratory tract infection in dogs include the canine distemper virus, canine adenovirus type 1 or 2 (CAV-1 causes infectious canine hepatitis and CAV-2 is a cause of kennel cough), canine parainfluenzavirus (CPI), canine influenza virus (CIV), canine reovirus type 1, 2 or 3 and canine herpes virus. CAV-2 and the canine parainfluenzavirus can damage the respiratory epithelium so severely that affected dogs are highly likely to develop serious upper airway disease. Parasites The canine nasal mite, Pneumonyssoides caninum, is an arthropod found in the nasal cavities and sinuses of dogs. When present, these mites cause sneezing, chronic nasal discharge (runny nose), coughing, inflammation and swelling of the nasal mucosa and epistaxis (nose bleeds), and can predispose infected dogs to secondary bacterial infections of the upper respiratory tract. They are transmitted between dogs based on direct contact with an infected animal."

One of the most common canine diseases, kennel cough is mainly seen in dogs that are kept in groups (as in kennels). This respiratory disease is highly contagious and spreads easily, as the infected dog comes in contact with other dogs. Disease-causing pathogens spread through the air, as the infected dog coughs or sneezes. A healthy dog can contract this disease, even through contact with contaminated surfaces. So, dogs can contract kennel cough easily. Being close to dogs, humans too may contract upper respiratory infection. Can Humans Contract Kennel Cough?"

Canine Bordetella Symptoms When a dog is infected with canine Bordetella, he will usually display a dry, hacking cough. Some describe the cough as having a “honky” sound. The dog may act like he has something stuck in his throat and may actually vomit or retch after the cough. A cough caused by canine Bordetella may also worsen with activity or excitement and can last for a few minutes. Dogs who have canine Bordetella may also have a watery nasal discharge, as well as conjunctivitis and sneezing. Typically, those affected by canine Bordetella have their normal appetite and activity levels. In severe cases and those where secondary bacterial pneumonia has developed, dogs can have fevers, lethargy, breathing difficulties and anorexia.

The origin of the word distemper is from the Middle English distemperen, meaning to upset the balance of the humors, which is from the Old French destemprer, meaning to disturb, which is from the Vulgar Latin distemperare: Latin dis- and Latin temperare, meaning to mix properly. Infection Dogs from four months to four years old are particularly susceptible. Canine distemper virus (CDV) spreads through the air and through contact with infected bodily fluids, including food and water contaminated with these fluids. The time between infection and disease is 14 to 18 days, although there can be a fever from three to six days postinfection. Canine distemper virus has a tropism for lymphoid, epithelial, and nervous tissues. Therefore, the typical pathologic features of canine distemper include lymphoid depletion (causing immunosuppression and leading to secondary infections), interstitial pneumonia, encephalitis with demyelination, and hyperkeratosis of foot pads . Histologic examination reveals intranuclear and intracytoplasmic eosinophilic inclusion bodies in numerous tissues. Symptoms Dullness and redness of the eye Discharge from nose Vomiting and diarrhea Cough Shivering Fever Loss of appetite and energy Weight loss Seizures Thickened footpads Tooth enamel hypoplasia Diagnosis The above symptoms, especially fever, respiratory signs, neurological signs, and thickened footpads found in unvaccinated dogs strongly indicate canine distemper.

A: Canine influenza (CI), or dog flu, is a highly contagious respiratory infection of dogs that is caused by an influenza A virus. In the U. S., canine influenza has been caused by two influenza strains. The first strain reported in the United States, beginning in 2004, was an H3N8 influenza A virus. This strain is closely related to the virus that causes equine influenza, and it is thought that the equine influenza virus mutated to produce the canine strain. In 2015, an outbreak that started in Chicago was caused by a separate canine influenza virus, H3N2. The strain causing the 2015 outbreak was almost genetically identical to an H3N2 strain previously reported only in Asia – specifically, Korea, China and Thailand. In Asia. This H3N2 strain is believed to have resulted from the direct transfer of an avian influenza virus – possibly from among viruses circulating in live bird markets – to dogs. Since March 2015, thousands of dogs have been confirmed positive for H3N2 canine influenza across the U. S. Two clinical syndromes have been seen in dogs infected with the canine influenza virus—a mild form of the disease and a more severe form that is accompanied by pneumonia."

The cough associated with acute infectious tracheobronchitis, (ITB) or kennel cough, is a high-pitched, honk-like cough, sometimes followed by retching. Kennel cough is a highly contagious inflammation of the trachea (windpipe) and bronchial tree caused by a contagious virus (adenovirus, parainfluenza virus, canine distemper virus) or bacterium ( Bordetella bronchiseptica ). The disease is associated most often with dogs housed in a high-density population or boarding kennel. The infectious agents can be transmitted through the air or by contact with contaminated surfaces. Puppies and younger dogs are at greatest risk, but even old dogs can acquire kennel cough. The incubation period from the time the dog first contracts the infection to the time that symptoms develop is typically between 3 to 10 days, and the symptoms can last for days to weeks. A mild to moderate cough without other symptoms is usually self-limiting; however, occasional cases become lingering and cause chronic bronchitis. What to Watch For Kennel cough causes a variety of symptoms that can vary in severity. Signs of upper respiratory problems such as conjunctivitis (irritated eyes), rhinitis (runny nose) or sneezing may be observed."

Yes, although I don't believe the strains are similar or contagious between humans, cats, dogs.

Overview Bordetella bronchiseptica is a bacterium commonly associated with respiratory disease in dogs. It can also infect cats, rabbits and, in rare cases, humans. It is one of the more common bacterial causes of canine infectious tracheobronchitis, which is also sometimes called kennel cough. Bordetella bronchiseptica is one of several viral and bacterial agents responsible for kennel cough syndrome. Bordetella is highly contagious, easily transmitted through the air or direct contact, and resistant to destruction in the environment. In healthy adult dogs, Bordetella typically causes no more than a mild illness. In puppies or dogs with underlying health issues, however, it can cause severe illness or even death. The same can be said for cats who suffer this infection. A safe and effective vaccine for the upper-respiratory infection is available for dogs and cats."

It’s up to you to give her all the care she needs every day. It can be a little intimidating—she needs nutritious food, plenty of attention, gentle training, safe toys, socialization, a comfortable home, and proper veterinary care. And that includes puppy vaccinations throughout her first year. Which Vaccinations Do Puppies Need? Going to the vet repeatedly over several months for vaccinations, and then for boosters or titers throughout your dog’s life, may seem like an inconvenience, but the diseases that vaccinations will shield our pets from are dangerous, potentially deadly, and, thankfully, largely preventable. RELATED: Your Puppy’s First Vet Visit–What to Expect We read about so many different vaccinations, for so many different illnesses, that it can sometimes be confusing to know which vaccinations puppies need and which ones are important but optional. Here is an overview of the diseases that vaccinations will help your pet to avoid.

Canine influenza is caused by varieties of influenzavirus A, such as equine influenza virus H3N8, which in 2004 was discovered to cause disease in dogs. Because of the lack of previous exposure to this virus, dogs have no natural immunity to it. Therefore, the disease is rapidly transmitted between individual dogs. Canine influenza may be endemic in some regional dog populations of the United States. It is a disease with a high morbidity (incidence of symptoms) but a low incidence of death. [ 1]A newer form was identified in Asia during the 2000s and has since caused outbreaks in the US as well. It is a mutation of H3N2 that adapted from its avian influenza origins.

A. urinae is a gram-positive coccus that grows in pairs and clusters, produces alpha-hemolysis on blood agar, and is negative for catalase and pyrrolidonyl aminopeptidase. Some of these characteristics and its being absent from the databases of most commercial identification systems could allow A. urinae to be misidentified as a streptococcus, enterococcus, or staphylococcus. We report two cases of urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by A. urinae and characterize these isolates by morphology, biochemical testing, whole-cell fatty acid analysis, 16S r RNA gene sequencing, and antibiotic susceptibilities. Most patients infected with A. urinae are elderly males with predisposing conditions who present initially with UTI. Because A. urinae is resistant to sulfonamides, treatment could be inappropriate, with infections resulting in serious complications, including death. It is important for the clinician and the microbiologist to consider A. urinae a potential pathogen and proceed with thorough microbiological identification.

Pierson, DVMCystitis and stones are extremely common in the cat and can be very painful and life-threatening. Cystitis can lead to inappropriate urination – urinating outside of the litter box – and stones can cause a fatal rupture of the bladder by blocking the outflow of urine. Any cat that is repeatedly entering the litter box but not voiding any urine is in need of immediate medical attention. It is important to note, however, that \"\"crystals\"\" are not the same thing as stones. Crystals are often a normal finding in a cat's urine and it is not appropriate to put the cat on a \"\"special urinary tract\"\" formula when these are found in the urine. I often see too much clinical significance placed on the identification of crystals in the urine without regard to how the urine sample was handled. It is very important to understand that crystals will often form once outside of the body within a very short period of time, as little as one hour. If the veterinarian does not examine the urine right away and either sends it to an outside laboratory or uses a free-catch sample that the owner brought from home, an erroneous diagnosis of crystals may be made. This is called a \"\"false positive\"\" report and results in unnecessary worry on the part of the owner and often leads to the cat being placed on an inappropriate diet. With regard to overall kidney and bladder health, I cannot stress strongly enough how important water, water, water is in both the prevention and treatment of diseases involving this organ system."

It’s an awful feeling knowing your poor kitty is in pain when all it wants to do is use its litter box. Why Do Cats Develop Urinary Problems? Cats with urinary track problems often experience difficulty emptying their bladders. Blockages may eventually form in the urethra that if left untreated could potentially be fatal for the cat; they can build up and become complicated to handle. There are a few different causes for urinary track problems in felines; it is important to understand what causes the blockages and infections. Causes vary from kidney stones to infections or even cancer. Stones and debris may form when the urine is too alkaline. Magnesium in the cat’s body reacts to the highly alkaline urine and creates kidney stones.

"text": "Difference Between Cystitis and Pyelonephritis December 2, 2016 by Embogama 6 min read Main Difference – Cystitis vs Pyelonephritis Urology is a branch of medicine which studies about disease conditions related to the urinary system-kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Cystitis and Pyelonephritis are two common urological conditions, and the usage of these terms can be quite confusing without an exact diagnosis since their presentation in patients shares a lot of common features. The main difference between cystitis and pyelonephritis is that cystitis is an infection of the bladder or urethra, most commonly due to a bacterial etiology whereas pyelonephritis is a complication of it, caused when the damage extends up to the kidney through ureters. This article explains,1. What is Cystitis – Signs and Symptoms, Cause, Risk Factors, Diagnosis and Treatment2. What is Pyelonephritis– Signs and Symptoms, Cause, Risk Factors, Diagnosis and Treatment3. Difference between Cystitis and Pyelonephritis What is Cystitis Cystitis is defined as an infection of the bladder or urethra, most commonly due to a bacterial etiology. Cystitis affects both males and females, but accounts for a significant female predominance possibly due to the short urethra present in females,Bacteria, especially Escherichia coli type, which is a part of the normal flora in the body, sometimes becomes highly virulent, especially in immune-comprised states and invades the walls of the bladder and urethra. They will then get attached to the walls using their pili and multiply, resulting in inflammation and irritation of the wall lining. Cause and Risk Factors of Cystitis The major cause of cystitis is known to be ascending infections where virulent bacteria enters the target organ, through external genitalia."

You check your cat and cannot find any obvious signs of injury until you notice that they're urinating blood in the most inappropriate places, regardless of being perfectly house trained. Concerned, you schedule an appointment with your veterinarian. Causes of blood in cat urine, a condition medically known as hematuria, may vary. The most common is a condition known as FLUTD, or a urinary tract infection. Often, owners have difficulty telling if their pet is urinating blood or defecating blood, as they find them straining and producing only a few drops of blood. More often than not, they are urinating blood, and because it is mixed in the urine, the blood drops usually assume a pinkish diluted tint. The following are some of the most common causes of hematuria in cats.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an infection caused by a type of Staphylococcus, or staph, bacteria that’s resistant to many different antibiotics. These bacteria naturally live in the nose and on the skin and generally don’t cause any harm. However, when they begin to multiply uncontrollably, a MRSA infection can occur. These infections typically occur when there’s a cut or break in your skin. MRSA is very contagious and can be spread through direct contact with an infected person. It can also be contracted by coming into contact with an object or surface that an infected person has touched. Though a MRSA infection can be serious, it may be treated effectively with antibiotics. Pictures Pictures of MRSA (staph) infection Types What are the different types of MRSA? MRSA infections are classified as either hospital-acquired (HA-MRSA) or community-acquired (CA-MRSA)."

Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus is a bacterial infection resistant to antibiotic methicillin. Staphylococcus aureus, sometimes referred to simply as \"\"staph,\"\" or \"\"staph A\"\" is a common bacterium found on the skin of healthy people. If staph gets into the body it can cause a minor infection such as boils or pimples or serious infections such as pneumonia or blood infections. One antibiotic commonly used to treat staph infections is methicillin. While methicillin is very effective in treating most staph infections, some staph bacteria have developed a resistance to methicillin and can no longer be killed by this antibiotic. The resistant bacteria are called methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus or MRSA. Who is susceptible to MRSA infection? MRSA usually infects hospital or other health care facility patients. Persons with long-term illnesses or who are immuno-suppressed are at higher risk."

Some cause disease and harm the body, but others are beneficial and cause no harm.

Vaccines are available for some specific bacteria: Pneumococcus, tetanus, and diptheria. Staphylococcusor Staph is commonly found in the soil, dirty surfaces, on human skin, and in the intestinal tract of healthy people.

Many of these cases are slight enough to not merit a visit to the doctor and go unreported. However, about 5,000 deaths per year are associated with contaminated food. Knowing the symptoms of foodborne illness can help save your life; it can also keep you from spreading diseases to others. Many foodborne pathogens are easily transferred from person-to-person via contaminated surfaces and foods. This following list is not intended to diagnose foodborne illnesses. If you believe something you ate or drank has made you sick, seek medical help. That important step can shorten the duration of your symptoms and may keep you from suffering potentially long-term complications associated with enteric (intestinal) diseases. Severe infections of the intestine, especially by strong toxins and tissue-invading pathogens, can lead to chronic gastrointestinal problems such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). And some foodborne illnesses begin with gastrointestinal distress but can advance to systemic infections and become fatal."

Most are caused by bacteria called E. coli. But some types of staph bacteria, primarily one known as Staphylococcus saprophyticus, can also cause a urinary infection. Fortunately, the same antibiotics successfully treat most UTIs regardless of the specific bacteria causing the infection. Your doctor will determine the best antibiotic to treat your UTI. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Antibiotics for Bladder Infections If you have symptoms typical of a bladder infection -- such as burning when you urinate and needing to go frequently -- but are otherwise well, your doctor will likely prescribe a short course of an antibiotic that is effective for most bladder infections. Preferred antibiotics for treating most simple UTIs include nitrofurantoin (Macrodantin, Macrobid), fosfomycin (Monurol) and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (Septra, Bactrim, SMZ-TMP), according to the Infectious Disease Society of America. Your doctor may prescribe another antibiotic -- such as ciprofloxacin (Cipro), amoxicillin clavulanate (Augmentin) or cefdinir (Omnicef) -- if one of the usual antibiotics is not a good option for you. These antibiotics are usually similarly effective and can successfully treat most UTIs, including those caused by E. coli and Staphylococcus saprophyticus."

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ( MRSA) is a type of staphylococcus or \"\"staph\"\" bacterium that is resistant to many antibiotics. Staph bacteria, like other kinds of bacteria, normally live on your skin and in your nose, usually without causing problems. But if these bacteria become resistant to antibiotics, they can cause serious infections, especially in people who are ill or weak. MRSA is different from other types of staph because it cannot be treated with certain antibiotics such as methicillin. MRSA infections are more difficult to treat than ordinary staph infections. This is because the strains of staph known as MRSA do not respond well to many common antibiotics used to kill bacteria. When methicillin and other antibiotics do not kill the bacteria causing an infection, it becomes harder to get rid of the infection. MRSA bacteria are more likely to develop when antibiotics are used too often or are not used correctly."

The reason: they’re recovering from a drug-resistant infection. The affected individuals may be permanent residents of the facility, or they may be visiting specifically to recover from the infection, according to Kristi Lott, a nurse at the facility. In the latter case, they may come from an assisted living center, a hospital, or at-home care. “They come to get antibiotics for six weeks, in the more serious cases,” Lott says. “ To clear someone, they have to get at least three negative cultures. ”Hospitals and other health care facilities are seeing a rising rate of drug-resistant infections, according to officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These infections, called methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections, are unable to be treated by traditional antibiotics such as penicillin, amoxicillin and methicillin. The proportion of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics has risen steeply during the last thirty years, as the bacteria adapt to the antibiotics intended to kill them, according to CDC research.

While anyone can get a Staph infection, some conditions put people at higher risk including: Newborns Women who are breastfeeding Diabetes Vascular or lung disease Cancer Weakened immune system Those who inject drugs or medications Skin injuries or disorders Surgical incisions Use of intravenous catheters What Are the Signs and Symptoms of a Staph Infection? Symptoms of staphylococcal disease of the skin include pus-filled abscesses (also called boils or furuncles). Pain, swelling, and redness in the area of the infection is common, along with drainage of pus. If the staph infection is in the blood (called bacteremia or sepsis) symptoms can include fever, chills, and low blood pressure ( hypotension )."

"text": "Navy Reserve Merchant Marine Officers Merchant Marine officers in the Navy Reserve are professionally licensed deck, engineering and radio officers employed in the maritime industry. The Merchant Marine program is composed of a corps of actively sailing officers who serve on naval vessels in time of war or national emergencies. Additionally, these officers serve as shoreside cadre assigned to Navy Reserve activities in support of sealift readiness, namely the Military Sealift Command (MSC). Basic Education Requirements Graduation from the U. S. Merchant Marine Academy, a state maritime academy or an accredited industry school, and successful completion of the prescribed course in naval science. Most graduates will typically be offered a Navy Commission in the Individual Ready Reserve. Accept it, as it will otherwise be difficult to obtain later. With this commission, it is practically effortless to affiliate with a Selected Reserve unit, should you choose to do so. Age Requirement At least 19 but less than 40 at time of appointment. This age maximum can be waived up to 42, with prior military service."

The Reserve consists of 108,718 (64,715 SELRES and 44,003 IRR) officers and enlisted personnel who serve in every state and territory as well as overseas as of September 2012. Selected Reserve (SELRES) [ edit]See also: Selected Reserve The largest cohort, the SELRES, have traditionally drilled one weekend a month and two weeks of annual training during the year, receiving base pay and certain special pays (i.e., flight pay, dive pay, etc.) when performing Inactive Duty Training (IDT, aka \"\"drills\"\"), and full pay and allowances while on active duty for Annual Training (AT), Active Duty for Training (ADT), Active Duty for Operational Support (ADOS), Active Duty for Special Work (ADSW), or under Mobilization (MOB) orders or otherwise recalled to full active duty. Every state, as well as Guam and Puerto Rico, [2] has at least one Navy Operational Support Center (NOSC, formerly the Naval Reserve Center), staffed by Full Time Support (FTS) personnel, where the SELRES sailors come to do their weekend drills. The size of these centers varies greatly, depending on the number of assigned reservists. They are intended mostly to handle administrative functions and classroom style training. However, some NOSCs have more extensive training facilities, including damage control trainers and small boat units."

S. Fleet Cyber Command United States Navy Reserve United States Naval Special Warfare Command Operational Test and Evaluation Force. Fleets in the United States Navy take on the role of force provider; they do not carry out military operations independently, rather they train and maintain naval units that will subsequently be provided to the naval forces component of each Unified Combatant Command. While not widely publicized, groups of ships departing U. S. waters for operational missions gain a Task force type designation, almost always with the Second or Third Fleets. On entry into another numbered fleet's area of responsibility, they are redesignated as a task group from that fleet. For example, a carrier task group departing the Eastern Seaboard for the Mediterranean might start out as Task Group 20.1; on crossing the mid-Atlantic boundary between Fleet Forces Command and United States Naval Forces Europe - Naval Forces Africa, it might become ('inchop') [6] Task Group 60.1."

Although warships were used by the English kings from the early medieval period, the first major maritime engagements were fought in the Hundred Years War against the Kingdom of France. The modern Royal Navy traces its origins to the early 16th century; the oldest of the UK's armed services, it is known as the Senior Service. From the middle decades of the 17th century, and through the 18th century, the Royal Navy vied with the Dutch Navy and later with the French Navy for maritime supremacy. From the mid 18th century, it was the world's most powerful navy until surpassed by the United States Navy during the Second World War. The Royal Navy played a key part in establishing the British Empire as the unmatched world power during the 19th and first part of the 20th centuries. Due to this historical prominence, it is common, even among non-Britons, to refer to it as \"\"the Royal Navy\"\" without qualification. Following World War I, the Royal Navy was significantly reduced in size, [3] although at the onset of World War II it was still the world's largest."

Commonwealth countries which use the rank include Canada (Naval Cadet), Australia, Bangladesh, Namibia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and Kenya. In the 17th century, a midshipman was a rating for an experienced seaman, and the word derives from the area aboard a ship, amidships, either where the original rating worked on the ship, or where he was berthed. Beginning in the 18th century, a commissioned officer candidate was rated as a midshipman, and the seaman rating began to slowly die out. By the Napoleonic era (1793–1815), a midshipman was an apprentice officer who had previously served at least three years as a volunteer, officer's servant or able seaman, and was roughly equivalent to a present-day petty officer in rank and responsibilities. After serving at least three years as a midshipman or master's mate, he was eligible to take the examination for lieutenant. Promotion to lieutenant was not automatic, and many midshipmen took positions as master's mates for an increase in pay and responsibility aboard ship. Midshipmen in the United States Navy were trained and served similarly to midshipman in the Royal Navy, although unlike their counterparts in the Royal Navy, a midshipman was a warrant officer rank until 1912. During the 19th century, changes in the training of naval officers in both the Royal Navy and the United States Navy led to the replacement of apprenticeship aboard ships with formal schooling in a naval college."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Birthday of Naval Aviation)navigation search The history of the United States Navy divides into two major periods: the \"\"Old Navy\"\", a small but respected force of sailing ships that was also notable for innovation in the use of ironclads during the American Civil War, and the \"\"New Navy\"\", the result of a modernization effort that began in the 1880s and made it the largest in the world by the 1920s. The United States Navy claims 13 October 1775 as the date of its official establishment, when the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution creating the Continental Navy. With the end of the American Revolutionary War, the Continental Navy was disbanded. Under first President George Washington threats to American merchant shipping by Barbary pirates from four North African Muslim States, in the Mediterranean, led to the Naval Act of 1794, which created a permanent standing U. S. Navy. The original six frigates were authorized as part of the Act. Over the next 20 years, the Navy fought the French Republic Navy in the Quasi-War (1798–99), Barbary states in the First and Second Barbary Wars, and the British in the War of 1812. After the War of 1812, the U. S. Navy was at peace until the Mexican–American War in 1846, and served to combat piracy in the Mediterranean and Caribbean seas, as well fighting the slave trade off the coast of West Africa. In 1845, the Naval Academy was founded at old Fort Severn at Annapolis, Maryland by the Chesapeake Bay. In 1861, the American Civil War began and the U. S. Navy fought the small Confederate States Navy with both sailing ships and new revolutionary ironclad ships while forming a blockade that shut down the Confederacy's civilian coastal shipping. After the Civil War, most of its ships were laid up in reserve, and by 1878, the Navy was just 6,000 men."

The academy states its objective as seeking to train young men and women who will \"\"successfully complete the Academy experience\"\" and become \"\"officers of character for service to the Air Force and our nation.\"\" Tuition, room and board (for both in- and out-of-state residents) are paid for by the federal government, though there is a book fee of several hundred dollars."

Since then, the insignia of ranks have included such symbols as feathers, sashes, stripes and showy uniforms. Even carrying different weapons has signified rank. The badges of rank have been worn on hats, shoulders and around the waist and chest. The American military adapted most of its rank insignia from the British. Before the Revolutionary War, Americans drilled with militia outfits based on the British tradition. Sailors followed the example of the most successful navy of the time -- the Royal Navy. So, the Continental Army had privates, sergeants, lieutenants, captains, colonels, generals for instance. The three branches of the service who share the same ranks by name and insignia are the Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps. Rank, title, and collar devices are the same for these branches."

"text": "\"If your primary investing objective is to preserve capital while generating a tax-free income stream, municipal bonds are worth considering. Municipal bonds (munis) are debt obligations issued by government entities. When you buy a municipal bond, you are loaning money to the issuer in exchange for a set number of interest payments over a predetermined period. At the end of that period, the bond reaches its maturity date, and the full amount of your original investment is returned to you. Taxes While municipal bonds are available in both taxable and tax-exempt formats, the tax-exempt bonds tend to get the most attention because the income they generate is, for most investors, exempt from federal and, in many cases, state and local income taxes. Investors subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT) must include interest income from certain munis when calculating the tax, and should consult a tax professional prior to investing. Types of Municipal Bonds Municipal bonds come in the following two varieties:general obligation bonds (GO)revenue bonds General obligation bonds, issued to raise immediate capital to cover expenses, are supported by the taxing power of the issuer. Revenue bonds, which are issued to fund infrastructure projects, are supported by the income generated by those projects. Both types of bonds are tax exempt and particularly attractive to risk-averse investors due to the high likelihood that the issuers will repay their debts. While buying municipals bonds is viewed as a conservative investment strategy, it is not risk-free."

Yet to the beginning investor, these items are a bit unclear: what are they? How are the returns? How can an individual investor get them? The Simple Dollar did a bit of research and found some answers. The United States Treasury Department regularly issues securities that exist for the sole purpose of financing the debt of the United States government. These securities are sold at auction to the highest bidder, maximizing their immediate value for the government; they are also actively traded on the secondary market, which means you can usually find a buyer if you need to. They are considered highly stable investments (often described as “zero risk”) because they are based on the stability of the government of the United States, simply because the likelihood of government default or overthrow is basically nonexistent. There are four main types of securities issued by the Treasury Department: Treasury bills (or T-bills) are investments that mature in one year or less and they are considered to be the baseline “risk free” investment. They are offered with maturity dates of 28 days, 91 days, or 182 days."

"text": "\"By Jeffrey R. Kosnett, Senior Editor and David Landis, Contributing Editor March 1, 2008At first glance, stocks seem to have an advantage over bonds when it comes to taxation. Bond interest payments are taxed as ordinary income, so rates can be as high as 35% -- more than double the maximum 15% levy on stock dividends. But bond investors have an escape not available to stock owners. They can buy municipal bonds and pay no federal taxes at all on the interest. And if you buy muni bonds from in-state issuers, you can avoid state and local taxes as well. ( Retirees take note: Nontaxable interest is included in the formula to determine how much of your Social Security benefits is taxed. ) The stated yields of bonds issued by state and local governments and their agencies are usually lower than those of comparable government and corporate bonds. But if you're in a high tax bracket, that shortcoming disappears. A 4% yield on a muni is the equivalent of a 5.6% payout on a taxable bond if you're in the 28% tax bracket and 6% if you're in the 33% bracket. And these yields are relatively safe."

D. has written about the differences between bond funds and individual bonds [1] : While you can invest in any sector of the bond market either through a bond fund or by buying individual bonds, the two are radically different investments. The main difference is that an individual bond has a definite maturity date and a fund does not. If you hold a bond to maturity, on that date it will be redeemed at par, regardless of the level of interest rates prevailing on the bond’s maturity date. Assuming a default has not occurred, you get back 100% of your principal. You have also earned a predictable income for the period that you have held the bond, consisting of coupon interest and, if coupons were reinvested, of interest-on-interest."

The IRS counts savings bond interest as income rather than capital gains, just as it does other interest. Interest isn't paid until you redeem a savings bond. Instead, it accrues and earns more interest. No taxes are due until either you redeem a savings bond or it matures after 30 years. Deferring Savings Bond Interest The person who owns a savings bond is responsible for paying income tax on the interest. When you share ownership with another person, each owner is liable for taxes in proportion to how much money each invested.

Savings Bonds Savings bonds are the safest investment there is, since they're backed by the government, and they're guaranteed not to lose principal. They don't offer exceptional yields, but they do offer the highest degree of safety among all of the options in the bond market. They're easy to buy through Treasury Direct, and they're tax-free on both the state and local levels. In addition, they may also be tax-free on the federal level is used to pay for education. The one drawback is that they aren't as liquid (easily bought and sold) as some other types of investments - you can't cash them in within the first year of their life, and if you have to cash them in within the first five years, you will pay a three-month interest penalty. U. S. Treasuries Despite the deteriorating finances of the United States government, U. S. Treasury bonds remain one of the safest investments out there - providing you hold individual bonds until maturity. In this case, there is no risk of default and interest rate risk isn't a factor. Keep in mind, however, that mutual funds and exchange-traded funds that invest in Treasuries don't mature - meaning that they are highly sensitive to interest rate risk. U. S. Treasuries typically offer lower yields than other types of bonds due to their lack of credit risk (or in other words, the risk of default)."

It's income, subject to the ordinary income tax rates. It includes the obvious, such as what you earned on that money you put aside in a bank or money market account, as well as on a few not-so-obvious sources: bonds, loans you made to others and even that piddling little amount your home lease security deposit brought in. There Are a Few Exceptions Interest on U. S. treasury bonds and savings bonds is taxable on your federal return, but it's usually tax-free at the state level. And interest on municipal bonds is tax-free at the federal level. Municipal bond interest is also often tax-free at the state level if you invest in a bond that's issued in the same state in which you reside. Some municipal bonds are private activity bonds. Interest on these is safe from ordinary tax, but it's taxable for the alternative minimum tax. The AMT has been around since 1969. It's an \"\"extra\"\" tax imposed by the IRS to prevent wealthy taxpayers from taking advantage of so many credits and deductions that they effectively avoid paying any taxes at all."

"text": "Earning qualified dividends will significantly reduce your income tax bill compared to earning dividends that are fully taxable. The characteristics -- and tax consequences -- of dividends paid by a particular exchange traded fund depend on the type of securities owned by the fund. Qualified Dividends Internal Revenue Service rules state that dividends from U. S. and foreign corporations qualify for lower income tax rates for investors who earn the dividends. Qualified dividends are dividends earned from owning stock. The tax status of dividends paid by an ETF is determined by the type of securities held by the fund. To pay qualified dividends, an ETF must own stock paying qualified dividends. Bonds pay interest so a bond fund does not pay qualified dividends. Types of Bond ETFs The tax nature of a bond ETF depends on the type of bonds in which the ETF invests. The types of bond ETFs include Treasury bond funds, government bond funds, foreign bond funds, corporate bond funds and municipal bond funds. The dividends paid by each type of fund will carry the tax consequences of the type bonds owned in the fund."

"text": "Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load What is a 'Treasury Note'A treasury note is a marketable U. S. government debt security with a fixed interest rate and a maturity between one and 10 years. Treasury notes are available from the government with either a competitive or noncompetitive bid. With a competitive bid, investors specify the yield they want, at the risk that their bid may not be approved; with a noncompetitive bid, investors accept whatever yield is determined at auction. Next Up Yield Curve Risk Treasury Bond - T-Bond Bull Steepener Bear Flattener BREAKING DOWN 'Treasury Note'Treasury notes are extremely popular investments, as there is a large secondary market that adds to their liquidity. Interest payments on the notes are made every six months until maturity. The income for interest payments is not taxable on a municipal or state level but is federally taxed, similar to the Treasury bond. The only difference between a Treasury note and bond is the length of maturity. A Treasury bond’s maturity can last from 10 to 30 years, making Treasury bonds the longest-dated, sovereign fixed-income security. Interest Rate Risk The longer the maturity, the higher the note’s or bond’s exposure to interest rate risks. In addition to credit strength, a note/bond’s value is determined by its sensitivity to changes in interest rates."

Each has a component that offers inflation protection. And even if we find ourselves in a deflationary environment instead of facing inflation, at least you will always get back the face value of the bond, and interest can never fall below zero.

Both free weights and machine weights can help you increase your strength. Other types of resistance, such as using resistance bands or body weight, also can help increase your strength. The choice of using free weights or machine weights is based on your personal preference, your physical fitness level, your fitness goals and your access to equipment.

"text": "Strength Strength Training Workouts The 8 Most Effective Triceps Exercises By Paige Waehner Updated March 14, 2018Share Pin Email Print Strong arms are important for almost every upper body movement you do each day and your triceps are often the heavy lifters. Anytime you push something—a door, a stroller, a lawnmower or a barbell, you're using your triceps. Strong is important and, for many of us, so is having shapely, toned arms. In other words, most of us don't like it when our triceps keep waving even after we've stopped. The best way to build strong, firm triceps is to choose the exercises that hit all those muscle fibers from every angle. The triceps, as the name suggests, has three different heads—the long head, lateral head, and the medial head. All of these heads contract during triceps exercises, but some moves emphasize different parts of the triceps. Also, some triceps exercises are more effective than others, something we know from the American Council on Exercise. In an ACE-commissioned study, researchers took exercisers through eight of the most common triceps exercises and recorded muscle activity by attaching EMG electrodes to their triceps. With this information, they were able to rank the best triceps exercises."

"text": "There are many types of resistance training equipment, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some are more appropriate for home gyms, and others are better suited for public gyms. The biggest difference between the many types of resistance training equipment is the means by which they provide the resistance that is crucial to effective resistance training. The different types of resistance training equipment include free weights, weight machines and resistance bands or tubes. The most common form of resistance equipment is free weights. This kind of weight training equipment consists of some combination of dumbbells, barbells and weight benches and racks. Sometimes the dumbbells have adjustable amounts of weight, but it is more common for each dumbbell to be a fixed amount of weight, thus potentially requiring a large collection of them to allow an athlete to perform a wide array of exercises. Ad Free weights have several distinct advantages and disadvantages. They are very effective for resistance training because, as their name implies, the weights are not attached to anything. This means that the athlete must balance the weight as he or she performs a lift, and this balance engages the body's stabilizer muscles."

The task of lifting your whole body to climb the stairs can be a very strenuous activity for many, making it the perfect workout. This has propelled stair stepper machines to popularity and they continue to be one of the best exercise equipment in the market today. Maxi Climber Vertical Climber Rock and wall climbing enthusiasts may not find traditional stair steppers to be engaging enough for their days off, so a vertical climber was created to meet their needs. The Maxi Climber Vertical Climber may not exactly be a stair stepper since it is designed to mimic vertical climbing movements instead of stair climbing movements, but it’s still well within the stepper territory as it requires you to lift your body up repeatedly. This helps create a challenging workout that will really help you burn off the calories you’ve consumed. The very first thing that you’ll notice about the Maxi Stepper is that it looks nothing like the other stair steppers in the market today. In fact, it resembles a lot of upper body weight equipment without a seat. It has two foot pedals and two hand grips, offering a whole body workout for users. Pros: It has a super quiet flywheel so you don’t have to bother anyone else while working out."

BICEPS POWERwritten by by Doug Daniels source: Powerlifting USA Magazine, May 2010 – Vol. 33 No. 7This will not be a ‘Curls for Girls’ article on biceps training—I promise—but when biceps training is mentioned, the average powerlifter pictures bodybuilders posing down under the lights. However, bicep power is very important to success in powerlifting. One of my favorite old articles was by Dr. Terry Todd and Paul Anderson in Bob Hoffman’s Muscular Development magazine. These powerlifting legends were firm believers in the role of bicep power for the bench press. Look at the top benchers from the last 30 years and you’ll see biceps that would make Governor Arnold take notice. Biceps are not directly involved in powerlifting, but they serve as stabilizers for the lift and lend indirect benefits to the squat and deadlift as well. Powerful biceps also balance out arm strength with powerlifters’ tricep power which can reduce the chance of injury."

The restriction to resistant bodies sets hydraulic and other fluid machines aside; these deserve special treatment."

All the above effects are influenced by a number of factors like, composition of the acid cellulase, history of pretreatments given to the fabrics and process parameters used at the time of treatment. Various developments have taken place in the eco-friendly processing of textiles involving enzymes. Among the various enzymes, cellulase is extensively used on cellulosic material. There are two types of cellulase, namely, acid cellulase and neutral cellulase. Acid cellulase used in biopolishing, which is very popular finishing treatment given to cellulosic fabric.

"text": "Home Cardio Ellipticals Benefits Of An Elliptical Trainer Workout Benefits Of An Elliptical Trainer Workout Ellipticals No Comments Over the last ten years elliptical trainers have taken the fitness market by storm. You can now buy a home elliptical for about the same price as a mid level home treadmill and most gyms have ellipticals as standard items of exercise equipment. The question on most peoples mind when looking to buy fitness equipment is does it work? Can I get a good workout off an elliptical, what does it work and is an the exercise effective? We look at some of the key benefits here. Quick Navigation [ show]How These Machines Work These machines are low impact trainers that offer a full body workout. Essentially the equipment consists of two footplates that the user stands on and moves elliptically in a stepping/sliding motion and two arm paddles that the user pumps whilst simultaneously carrying out the legwork on the footplates. The two key benefits to how the elliptical works is that upper and lower body are worked together to give a full body workout and whilst in use, non of the limbs are required to leave the machine during operation. This means the machine is low impact – it has few harmful effects on your joints or lower back. If you suffer from damaged knees you’ll find that an elliptical machine is good for knees where other machines such as treadmills and steppers may cause pain."

"text": "What Kind of Nerve Damage Can You Get From Lifting Weights?by CAT NORTH Sept. 11, 2017Strength training provides health benefits beyond those of regular exercise. Lifting weights develops muscle and bone mass, tone and strength. It also burns calories and helps with weight management. Weight lifting can help to reverse the decline in muscle and bone mass people naturally experience with age. However, incorrect use, sudden overuse or repetitive use of weights can cause sports injuries, including a pinched nerve or nerve damage, while lifting weights. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load About Nerve Injury and Damage You can sustain a pinched nerve when excess pressure or compression from bone, cartilage, muscles or tendons is placed on a nerve, according to Mayo Clinic. For example, a herniated spinal disk can compress a nerve root causing a pinched nerve. Carpal tunnel syndrome adversely affects nerves due to repetitive or regular improper movements. Long-term nerve pressure, such as incorrect posture, osteoarthritis, obesity, injury or sports and other exercise, can lead to nerve damage, says Mayo Clinic. An untreated pinched nerve or serious nerve injury can lead to chronic or long-term nerve damage."

"text": "Strength Strength Training Workouts The 8 Most Effective Triceps Exercises By Paige Waehner Updated March 14, 2018Share Pin Email Print Strong arms are important for almost every upper body movement you do each day and your triceps are often the heavy lifters. Anytime you push something—a door, a stroller, a lawnmower or a barbell, you're using your triceps. Strong is important and, for many of us, so is having shapely, toned arms. In other words, most of us don't like it when our triceps keep waving even after we've stopped. The best way to build strong, firm triceps is to choose the exercises that hit all those muscle fibers from every angle. The triceps, as the name suggests, has three different heads—the long head, lateral head, and the medial head. All of these heads contract during triceps exercises, but some moves emphasize different parts of the triceps. Also, some triceps exercises are more effective than others, something we know from the American Council on Exercise. In an ACE-commissioned study, researchers took exercisers through eight of the most common triceps exercises and recorded muscle activity by attaching EMG electrodes to their triceps. With this information, they were able to rank the best triceps exercises."

It's easy on your knees and joints, but when it comes to your cardiovascular system, it can be as easy or as hard as you want it to be The biggest advantage that an elliptical offers is that it does not subject your musculo-skeletal structure to the same impact forces that a treadmill would. When you run, your feet repeatedly pound on the ground at forces significantly higher than our body weight. If you're running long distances, not wearing the right shoes, carrying extra weight on you, not running with the proper posture etc, then this can sometimes lead to injuries. An elliptical eliminates that risk. However, that in no way means that en elliptical workout is easy. A good elliptical machine will have one of these on it: (Image Source: Horizon Fitness EX-69-2 Elliptical Trainer) A control panel like this generally gives you access to two settings:1) Incline- Similar to a treadmill, you can make your workout increasingly harder by increasing the incline of the elliptical machine.2) Resistance- This setting basically controls how hard it will be to do each cycle on the elliptical. The higher the resistance, the more effort you will need to apply on each cycle. If you're just starting out, you will first want to go with 0 incline and minimum resistance to gauge your level of fitness."

"text": "Text Size: Why Influenza Mandates are Ineffective From 2001 to 2007 less than 200 non-autism vaccine injury claims were filed annually with the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) . By 2010 reported claims have almost tripled, with the increase in claims largely due to adult influenza vaccine injury claims. 1 According to the U. S. Department of Justice approximately 65% of claims filed with the VICP are for alleged injuries from influenza vaccine, 2 with two-thirds of those claims being adult claims. WHAT RESEARCH DEMONSTRATES: Influenza viruses constantly evolve and, depending upon the year, the flu shot may or may not match strains associated with reported influenza cases; 3The influenza vaccine is less than 70 percent effective in preventing influenza, 4 and like all pharmaceutical products, use of influenza vaccine is not without risk of vaccine injury; 5Influenza rarely kills healthy people under age 65 and 5 to 20 percent of Americans may experience type A or type B influenza in an average flu season 6, with the majority having uncomplicated cases. The natural immunity developed from influenza protects people during future influenza outbreaks; 7Over 200 viruses cause influenza and influenza-like illness and can produce similar symptoms. It is estimated that 80% of flu-like illness reported during the “flu season” is not caused by influenza. 8 Some researchers estimate that, at best, vaccines might be effective against only influenza A and B, which represent about 10% of all circulating viruses. 9Most influenza studies are poorly designed and have failed to demonstrate that influenza vaccine is effective or safe; 10 11Out of 308 million Americans, CDC estimates that about 12,000 deaths were associated with influenza in 2009, a pandemic year; 12I nfluenza-related deaths usually involve bacterial pneumonia complications, which rarely occur in healthy children and adults; 13Influenza transmission can be prevented or reduced in home and health care settings with hand washing, masking, and separating sick and healthy persons; 14 15WHY MANDATES WON’T WORK: Surveys reveal that 60-70% of Americans do not want to get a flu shot even in pandemic years 16 17 and more than 50% of American parents are concerned about vaccine safety in general; 18Studies reveal that 60% of health care professionals do not want to get influenza shots and are concerned about the vaccine’s ineffectiveness and side effects; 19Threatening and forcing Americans to get vaccinated, including firing health care workers who refuse flu shots, 20 will further erode public trust in vaccines and public health policies; 21 22 23The tax dollars spent to purchase, distribute and enforce use of flu shots will guarantee big profits for drug companies but will not guarantee a healthier population; 24 25 26NVIC’S POSITION: One size-fits-all vaccine mandates do not recognize biodiversity and the fact that individuals have unique biological and genetic factors that can make them more or less susceptible to suffering a vaccine reaction, injury or death. NVIC does not advocate for or against use of vaccines but defends the ethical principle of informed consent to medical risk-taking, including the right for all Americans to make informed, voluntary decisions about vaccination for themselves or their children. 27 We maintain that every individual has the human right to be informed about the risks and complications associated with infectious diseases and vaccines and make a voluntary decision about whether or not to use every government recommended vaccine, a few vaccines or no vaccines at all."

"text": "\"Chickenpox Vaccine Protection Fails; Booster Needed\"\"In the New England Journal of Medicine, the researchers confirm what doctors have already known — that the vaccine has sharply reduced the number of cases in children but that its protection does not last long. With fewer natural cases of the disease, the study says, unvaccinated children or those whose first dose of the vaccine fails to work are getting chickenpox later in life, when the risk of complications is higher. “ If you’re unvaccinated and you get it later in life, there’s a 20-times greater risk of dying compared to a child, and a 10- to 15-times greater chance of getting hospitalized,” said Dr. Jane Seward of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, who worked on the study.... The United States has been vaccinating against chickenpox since 1995. But tests have shown that the vaccine is not very effective in 15 percent to 20 percent of children who receive only one dose. A second dose would provide extra protection, but it is not clear how much..\"\" - Reuters, New York Times, March 15, 2007, Chickenpox Vaccine Loses Effectiveness in Study \"\"Children between the ages of 8 and 12 years who had been vaccinated at least 5 years previously were significantly more likely to have moderate or severe disease than were those who had been vaccinated less than 5 years previously. The annual rate of breakthrough varicella significantly increased with the time since vaccination, from 1.6 cases per 1000 person-years within 1 year after vaccination to 9.0 per 1000 person-years at 5 years and 58.2 per 1000 person-years at 9 years.\"\" - Sandra Chavez, M. D. et al., New England Journal of Medicine Loss of Vaccine-Induced Immunity to Varicella over Time, March 15, 2007 Barbara Loe Fisher Commentary: In March 1995, when Merck's chickenpox vaccine, VARIVAX, was licensed, the National Vaccine Information Center issued a public statement and I appeared on NBC's \"\"Today Show\"\" questioning why the CDC and AAP were calling for mass use of the live varicella zoster vaccine by all healthy children. Originally developed for leukemic children for whom chicken pox could be deadly, it had taken Merck decades to get VARIVAX licensed for healthy children because it had such a high failure rate: efficacy was known to be 80 percent or less. In 1995, NVIC went on record as opposing chicken pox vaccine mandates for the following reasons: (1) the childhood disease is highly communicable but mild for the vast majority of young children; (2) disease-induced immunity is qualitatively superior and lasts longer than vaccine induced, temporary immunity so mass vaccination sets up the need for booster shots; (3) mass vaccination will change the epidemiology of the disease and drive it into atypical older age groups where it is far more likely to cause permanent injury or death; (4) shingles cases may increase as chicken pox cases decrease."

By Jed Lipinski Demonstrators with autistic children take part in a rally calling to eliminate toxins from children's vaccines in Washington on June 4, 2008. Government agencies and nongovernment health experts agree there is no evidence that links autism to any kind of vaccine. Photo by Yuri Gripas/Reuters What if a mother decided not to vaccinate her daughter for measles, based on rumors that the vaccine causes autism, and her daughter gets the disease at the age of 4 and passes it to a 1-year-old, who is too young for the vaccine, at her day care center. And what if that baby dies? That’s the sad scenario, more or less, of a Season 10 episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. And it’s the hypothetical case study in a provocative paper in the Journal of Law, Medicine and Ethics that explores whether there’s a case for holding people legally accountable for the damage they cause by not vaccinating their children. “ One can make a legitimate, state-sanctioned choice not to vaccinate,” the bioethicist Arthur L. Caplan and his co-authors write, “but that does not protect the person making that choice against the consequences of that choice for others.” Since epidemiologists today can reliably determine the source of a viral infection, the authors argue, a parent who decides not to vaccinate his kid and thus endangers another child is clearly at fault and could be charged with criminally negligent homicide or sued for damages."

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.

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. But before we get into that, let’s take a look at Hepatitis A the disease and assess the necessity for a mandated vaccine. WHAT IS HEPATITIS A?

Moore Fam Pract Manag. 2007 Jul-Aug;14 (7):33-34. You are probably familiar with the coding and billing process for the limited number of preventive vaccines that Medicare has traditionally covered under Part B (i.e., influenza, pneumococcal and hepatitis B). With the advent of the new herpes zoster (shingles) vaccine and its coverage under Medicare Part D, this familiar routine has been interrupted. Here's what you need to know to get paid for Part D vaccines and their administration. Payment for the vaccine Payment for vaccines covered under Part D comes solely from participating prescription drug plans. Medicare does not pay for the vaccines themselves through Medicare Part B carriers. Consequently, unless your practice is considered a specialty pharmacy for Part D purposes, you should charge your Medicare patients for vaccines that are covered under Part D. To facilitate a patient's reimbursement for the vaccine by his or her Part D plan, you should also complete a CMS-1500 form for the vaccine and give it to the patient to file as an unassigned, out-of-network claim. A Web-based billing program may be available later this year that will enable you to bill and get paid for Part D vaccines directly from prescription drug plans."

Then, as the incidence of smallpox declined over time, some governments loosened requirements, while other mandates remained in place. At the same time, a variety of govermental agencies and regulations emerged to oversee the production and testing of vaccines. The judicial branch of U.

A variety of court decisions have considered the validity of vaccination mandates and have attempted to address the conflict between individual rights and protection of the public’s health.

Katherine was reportedly a newlywed, and was required to receive the flu shot as part of her employment. She was a radiology technician and worked at St. Catherine’s Medical Center in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin according to WISN. Mc Question’s mother said her daughter was healthy, beautiful and smart. She married in September, and her funeral was held on Tuesday. ( Source . ) A health official interviewed by WISN stated that this is “rare”, and that everyone should get their flu shot. She apparently failed to mention that the CDC has stated that this year’s flu shot is mostly ineffective against the current influenza strains."

"text": "\"Tags: vaccines | california | mandatory | law Mandatory Vaccine Measure Signed Into Law in California Tuesday, 30 Jun 2015 08:15 PMEmail Article | Comment | Contact | Print | A ATweet California Governor Jerry Brown on Tuesday signed a bill eliminating the state's personal beliefs exemption for school vaccine requirements - legislation that was prompted by a measles outbreak at Disneyland linked to low vaccination rates. The new law, which makes California only the third state to eliminate religious and other personal vaccine exemptions, generated vociferous opposition from some parents, many of them fearing what scientists say is a debunked link between childhood vaccinations and autism. \"\" The science is clear that vaccines dramatically protect children against a number of infectious and dangerous diseases,\"\" Brown, a Democrat, wrote in his signing message. \"\" While it's true that no medical intervention is without risk, the evidence shows that immunization powerfully benefits and protects the community.\"\" In December, more than 100 people were sickened in a measles outbreak traced to the Disneyland theme park in Southern California. Epidemiologists later said the outbreak was linked to vaccination rates, which have dropped in parts of the state where parents, many of them liberal and affluent, fear their children will suffer side effects or develop autism if they comply with recommended vaccine schedules. California, like other U. S. states, mandated vaccinations for school children decades ago, after it was shown that inoculation could prevent such childhood scourges as polio, pertussis and measles. But the state allowed parents to opt out based on personal or religious beliefs. Brown's decision to sign the bill marks an about-face for the governor, who three years ago opposed eliminating the religious exemption for school vaccines. Opponents took out a full-page ad in the Sacramento Bee, an influential newspaper in California's state capital, urging him to veto the measure by invoking the argument that pharmaceutical companies are behind the push to vaccinate children. \"\""

"text": "Health Impact News Editor Comments Mainstream news media sources (which are heavily funded by Big Pharma) would like everyone to believe that those in the medical field are united in their support of vaccines. However, there are many doctors and healthcare officials questioning the safety and efficacy of vaccines today. Since they often put their careers on the line by speaking out against the status quo regarding vaccines, they are, of course, the minority voice. That voice does exist, nonetheless. This is especially true regarding the issue of mandatory flu vaccinations for healthcare workers. Doctors, nurses, and others are increasingly speaking out against mandatory flu vaccinations, especially in Canada. A recent report in the Vancouver Sun quoted an emergency room doctor, Dr. Derrick Moore, as stating that he and 10 nurses refused to comply with mandatory flu vaccinations for healthcare workers at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital in Victoria B. C. Dr. Moore’s comments were made after the government claimed that only one health care worker refused to get vaccinated or wear a mask during the past flu season. That one person, reportedly an aide, was fired. Dr. Moore went public stating that this was not true, and that medical personnel all across Canada were refusing the mandated flu vaccines. “ Their idea that Mr. Hoekstra was the only person in the province who wasn’t masking and was not compliant is certainly not true, and they know that’s not true,” Dr. Moore reportedly said."

"text": "How often should a dog be vaccinated for rabies? Chery Pitcairn, PAVaccines are perennially controversial in veterinary medicine. However, there is one vaccine that causes almost no controversy whatsoever. I am referring to the canine rabies vaccine. In the United States, local or state governments dictate the frequency of rabies vaccination in dogs. Veterinarians and people with dogs must comply with the laws. Most municipalities require an initial rabies vaccination after the dog is 16 weeks old. Vaccines given before that date may be considered invalid. The initial vaccine generally is valid for one year. In some places, subsequent vaccines are good for three years."

"text": "\"State Considering Making Vaccine For Meningitis Mandatory Posted: Thu 12:37 PM, Jun 19, 2014 | Updated: Thu 3:38 PM, Jun 19, 2014North Carolina's public health rulemaking body is closing in on requiring seventh-graders to be vaccinated against potentially deadly meningitis and related diseases starting next summer. The North Carolina Commission on Public Health recently approved requiring vaccinations against meningitis and other meningococcal diseases by seventh grade, as well as mandating an additional booster for 12th graders beginning in July 2020. The requirement must be finalized next month before it can take effect for students entering the seventh grade after July 1, 2015, the state Department of Health and Human Services said. Though North Carolina only averages 16 cases a year, meningococcal disease can result in death and exorbitant medical costs, the state agency said. Half of North Carolina teens are not vaccinated against meningococcal diseases, which are caused by a type of bacteria. The best known illness from this family is meningitis, an infection of the brain and spinal cord. The bacteria can also cause bloodstream infections. \"\" Vaccines are the most effective tool to prevent meningococcal disease, including meningitis, and other diseases for which teens are at risk,\"\" said Dr. John Rusher, president of the North Carolina Pediatric Society, which backed the requirement. \"\" Bacterial meningitis is most common in people between the ages of 15 and 21, yet only half of North Carolina teens are currently vaccinated against it. Immunizing middle-schoolers and 12th graders against meningococcal disease is a huge step in protecting North Carolina students both now and later, as they enter college and young adulthood. \"\""

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 13:14by Barbara Loe Fisher National Vaccine Information Center Americans have never been big fans of flu shots. During the 2009 “swine flu” influenza A pandemic, only about 40 percent of adults bothered to roll up their sleeves. 1 Last year, flu vaccine rates were still just 47 percent for adults but pediatricians had vaccinated 75 percent of children under two years old. 2Perhaps it is because parents are being thrown out of pediatricians’ offices if they don’t give their children every federally recommended vaccine – or maybe it is just because adults can talk about how they felt after getting vaccinated and infants and children under age two cannot. How many times has someone told you: “The year I got a flu shot is the only year I got sick” or maybe you learned that the hard way yourself after getting vaccinated. Doctors insist that just because we get sick with a fever, headache, body aches and a terrible cough that hangs on for weeks after getting vaccinated, it doesn’t mean the vaccine made us sick. They say it was just a “coincidence” because correlation does not equal causation. 3 4Well, that may be true some of the time, but now the CDC is admitting that flu shots don’t prevent influenza most of the time. 5 In fact, studies show that a history of seasonal flu shots can even make people more susceptible to getting sick with a fever, headache, body aches and a terrible cough that hangs on for weeks!"

"text": "\"Gardasil Side Effects A Public Forum on Gardasil Side Effects Sunday, December 14, 2008How Long Will Gardasil’s 3-Shot Series Be Effective? Share Update: As of May 8 2009, Merck reported that Gardasil showed a 96 percent protection against HPV type 16 after 8.5 years. That strain, one of four, covered by the vaccine, currently accounts for about 53.2 percent of invasive cervical cancers although a recent study showed that 16 was already losing ground to non-vaccine HPV types prior to the introduction of Gardasil. At the same time, Merck reported that researchers had found a 17 to 45 percent reduction in abnormal Pap smears for vaccinated subjects in two randomized, placebo-controlled trials, 3.6 years into the study. The subjects had tested negative for HPV at the start of the study and had had normal Pap smears. Proponents of Merck’s HPV vaccine, Gardasil, are quick to dismiss its side-effects as well worth the risk. After all, it’s the first vaccine against cancer, protecting young girls against perhaps 70 percent of the strains of HPV that can cause cervical cancer as well as some unpleasant little items like genital warts. But how long will that protection actually last? My daughter’s doctor couldn’t answer, even though he advised me to get her the shot. Merck’s own Gardasil website doesn’t address the question, nor does it provide a mechanism for asking it."

Rather, it begins with the long history of infectious disease in humans, and in particular, with early uses of smallpox material to provide immunity to that disease. Evidence exists that the Chinese employed smallpox inoculation (or variolation, as such use of smallpox material was called) as early as 1000 CE. It was practiced in Africa and Turkey as well, before it spread to Europe and the Americas. Edward Jenner’s innovations, begun with his successful 1796 use of cowpox material to create immunity to smallpox, quickly made the practice widespread. His method underwent medical and technological changes over the next 200 years, and eventually resulted in the eradication of smallpox. Louis Pasteur’s 1885 rabies vaccine was the next to make an impact on human disease. And then, at the dawn of bacteriology, developments rapidly followed. Antitoxins and vaccines against diphtheria, tetanus, anthrax, cholera, plague, typhoid, tuberculosis, and more were developed through the 1930s. The middle of the 20 th century was an active time for vaccine research and development."

Herd immunity refers to the idea that the pathogen will have trouble spreading when a significant part of the population has immunity against it. This protects those unable to get the vaccine due to medical conditions, such as immune disorders.

Valium is a benzodiazepine prescribed by medical doctors and psychiatrists to treat anxiety and panic attacks. Historically, Valium has been a popular pharmaceutical agent--widely used for its muscle relaxant, anti-convulsant, and sedative properties. The substance is also known by its generic name, diazepam. Valium is a depressant drug that strengthens the effects of a neurotransmitter in the brain called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). GABA works to slow down brain activity, so increasing GABA neurotransmission will result in less activity and reduced anxiety."

Diazepam, which is sold under the trade name Valium, is a prescription drug that is used to treat anxiety disorders, sleep disorders, seizures, muscle spasms, alcohol withdrawal, and restless leg syndrome. The U. S. Drug Enforcement Administration classifies Valium as a Schedule IV narcotic, meaning that it is less addictive than drugs like heroin, cocaine, or methamphetamine. However, the widespread availability of Valium, and the pleasant calming effects that it produces, have made diazepam a common drug of abuse. Long-term use of diazepam can lead to chemical dependency and, eventually, to severe addiction. Understanding the health complications of Valium addiction may encourage nonmedical users of this drug to reach out for help. Physical and Psychological Effects The central nervous system is continuously transmitting electrical signals through the brain and nerves to control our movements and influence our reactions to the world around us. When these electrical signals become overactive, abnormal movements such as tremors, seizures, or convulsions can occur."

Anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Valium may also be prescribed to treat the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal known as \"\"delirium tremens. \"\" Additionally, the drug can treat muscle spasms from injury, inflammation, or nerve disorders. Doctors sometimes prescribe Valium along with other medications to treat convulsions or seizures. Valium belongs to a class of drugs called benzodiazepines, which work by increasing the effects of GABA, a neurotransmitter that moderates the activity of nerve signals in the brain. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved diazepam in 1963 under the brand name Valium for the Roche drug company. In 1985, the FDA approved generic diazepam, manufactured today by several drug companies. Benzodiazepines are widely prescribed drugs: According to reports in The New York Times and elsewhere, U. S. doctors issued more than 50 million prescriptions for Valium each year during the 1970s, when it was America's most popular prescription drug. Abuse of benzodiazepines, especially in combination with opiate painkillers, has become increasingly common in recent years."

"text": "Content Overview What is the Withdrawal Time for Benzos? Most benzo withdrawal symptoms start within 24 hours and can last from a few days to several months, depending on the length of the abuse and the strength of the benzo used. Prolonged withdrawal isn’t uncommon, however. About 10 percent of people who abuse benzos still feel withdrawal symptoms years after they have stopped taking the drugs. Table of Contents Onset of Withdrawal Poly-Drug Abuse Withdrawal Phases There is no specific timeline dictating exactly how long withdrawal from a benzo, or benzodiazepine, medication will last. While each individual may experience withdrawal differently, certain estimations can be made. Benzodiazepine withdrawal duration and intensity depend on several factors, including: Length of time taking benzodiazepines Dosage amount Type of drug used/abused Method used to take or abuse benzodiazepines Underlying medical or mental health issues Abuse of other drugs or alcohol concurrently Family history and/or previous drug or alcohol dependency Benzodiazepines are Schedule IV controlled substances per the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). They are sedatives and tranquilizers prescribed to treat symptoms of insomnia, anxiety, panic, seizure disorders, and muscle tensions or spasms. Common benzodiazepines include Xanax (alprazolam), Klonopin (clonazepam), Restoril (temazepam), Ativan (lorazepam), and Valium (diazepam). Alprazolam, the generic name for Xanax, was the 13th most prescribed medication in the country in 2012, according to a survey done by IMS Health."

Skate shoes come in a large range of styles with a number of different traits specifically designed for certain types of skateboarding. What's the history of skate shoes? Companies like Vans and Vision Street Wear started making skateboard specific shoes as early as the mid-sixties and seventies, although the skate shoe market has literally exploded over the past 10 to 15 years. Today's skate shoes are generally defined as having a flat sole made of soft rubber with a reinforced canvas or leather upper. Many skate shoes come equipped with special features like extra stitching in the ollie area, lace protectors, a mid-top or high-top silhouette, and skateboarding-impact-specific padding in the tongue, collar, and heel. What's the difference between vulcanized and cupsole construction? In the long run every skater will eventually have a certain style or type of skate shoe that he or she prefers, but one of the most defining aspects of the skate shoe is the sole construction. The sole construction is a huge factor when deciding on a skate shoe, with the vulcanized sole and the cupsole being the most dominant and preferred constructions that are available. Vulcanized soles are usually quite thin and flexible, offering the rider a greater amount of board feel and control for technical tricks."

If you're interested in something that will be easy to hop right on and go, or something to get you from place to place, a longboard is definitely the way to go. They're not great for tricks, so if you're interested in popping ollies, it's not the best option. Skateboards are what you think when you think \"\"skateboard.\"\" With tapered ends perfect for kicking tricks and jumps, and an easy soft maneuverability, these boards are excellent for skating around at quick speeds, though they'll take a little more practice to get balanced when you're first starting out. If you want to eventually drop into a half-pipe, though, this is the board for you. Custom boards are built and assembled yourself with basic tools.

The ollie is a skateboarding trick where the rider and board leap into the air without the use of the rider's hands. [ 1] It is basically the combination of popping, sliding, and jumping on the skateboard all at the same time. Originated in vertical skateboarding, and later on flat ground, it is not intuitively obvious how the liftoff is achieved, making the movement visually striking. The ollie is a fundamental skill in skateboarding and is used to leap onto, over, or off obstacles, or over gaps of unfriendly terrain such as grass or stairs. As so many tricks depend on it - for example the kickflip and heelflip - the ollie is often the first skill to be learned by a new skateboarder. The ollie typically takes considerable practice to learn.

[ 2] [3] There are numerous references to Alan Gelfand's Ollie with most notably pictures in the 1970s skateboarding magazine \"\"Skateboarder\"\". In 1982, while competing in the Rusty Harris contest in Whittier, California, Rodney Mullen debuted an ollie on flat ground, which he had adapted from Gelfand's vertical version by combining the motions of some of his existing tricks."

Skateboarding Skateboarders in Beijing, China Characteristics Mixed gender Yes, separate competitions Presence Country or region Worldwide Olympic Yes, starting in the 2020 Olympics Skateboarding is an action sport which involves riding and performing tricks using a skateboard, as well as a recreational activity, an art form, a entertainment industry job, and a method of transportation. [ 1] Skateboarding has been shaped and influenced by many skateboarders throughout the years. A 2009 report found that the skateboarding market is worth an estimated $4.8 billion in annual revenue with 11.08 million active skateboarders in the world. [ 2] In 2016, it was announced that skateboarding will be represented at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan. [ 3]Since the 1970s, skateparks have been constructed specifically for use by skateboarders, Freestyle BMXers, aggressive skaters, and very recently, scooters. [ 4] However, skateboarding has become controversial in areas in which the activity, although illegal, has damaged curbs, stoneworks, steps, benches, plazas and parks.

"text": "If You Like Supreme & Palace You’ll Love These 25 Independent Skateboard Brands By Alexis Castro in Style Jul 16, 2014 42 Comments If you’re reading this, there’s a chance that you have a Thrasher shirt and/or a pair of Vans Old Skools and are hoping to get put onto the next “hot, underground brand” to rep that your homies have yet to get their hands on. And that’s fine. We are all well aware of fashion’s ongoing obsession with skateboarding (which has been going on for longer than anyone had anticipated), and there’s no use in anyone fighting it anymore. Alexander Wang has included a “ skate shoe ” in a recent collection, Dior Homme has turned a runway into a “ skate park ”, and Gucci forever tainted a song that was used in one of the best skate parts of all time. That being said, there is a lot more to know about some of these independent skateboard brands beyond the fact that Travis Scott or Frank Ocean has worn a piece of their clothing in an Instagram photo or in a music video. Treat this list as a little crash course in some of the skate brands that are offering something new and fresh in today’s heavily saturated market. Alltimers Alltimers The first time I came across an Alltimers board, I was stunned and came to a standstill. As I walked into Supreme New York, I locked eyes with a board shaped like a cutout of Rihanna, which was hanging right next to another board shaped like a cutout of a yellow Lamborghini. Combined, these were the dumbest, yet most genius skateboard products I had seen in a long time. It was only a few months later that I saw their Marissa Tomei-shaped board featured on Conan O’Brien, which fully convinced me that Alltimers had found its lane in the industry."

Always great service and super friendly but not pushy sales people. Recently after nearly a decade of wearing vans daily my new pair was faulty. There was a patch of extra hard glue in the right heel that felt terrible to walk on. The shoes sat in my closet for weeks because I already trashed the receipt and the box and thought I was stuck with them. Luckily I took a chance and brought them down one day and after not too long or too much hassle they sent me out the door with my favorite comfy vans. Thanks guys. :) Was this review …?"

Maybe not that last one. Skateboarding shoes generally have a flat sole, standard lacing, and often a reinforced outer fabric for protection against wear. There are two types of sole construction in skateboarding shoes: vulcanized and cupsole. A vulcanized consists of 2 essential pieces: a flat rubber sole and a strip of rubber stretching around the shoe’s bottom perimeter to which the sole is bonded. A vulcanized sole skateboarding shoe is extremely flexible, and allows a rider to feel his/her skateboard as well as possible. A cupsole is one piece of molded rubber, which includes the bottom of the shoe and the strip of rubber surrounding the shoe’s bottom perimeter. A cupsole skateboarding shoe is thicker and generally more durable than a vulcanized sole skate shoe, which allows greater impact protection. Within these two types of skateboarding shoes, there are different adaptations that each uses to compensate for its relative shortcomings. Vulcanized sole skate shoes will often include an extra padded insole to make up for what it lacks in impact protection."

"text": "\"Entertainment & Music Comics & Animation Did rob dyrdek create DC shoes? Follow 2 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: DC Shoes is an American based footwear company in Vista, CA founded in 1993 who specialize in producing shoes for skateboarding as well as snowboarding boots and outerwear. On March 10, 2004, DC Shoes was acquired by Quiksilver. DC Shoes was created by two main owners, Ken Block and Damon Way, older brother of professional skateboarder Danny Way. A few years later, the two hired an accountant by the name of Clayton Blehm, who had just lost his job a few months earlier and was living in his daughter's garage. He was later given the chance to own one third of the company, yet he refused the offer, only to reconsider two years later. He has since been dismissed from the company which resulted in a lawsuit for wrongful dismissal and a counter-suit by DC, which has since been settled. The company was originally called \"\"Eightball\"\" and only made T-shirts for skate shops. The owners were sent a cease and desist letter by a man in Seattle who had allegedly already copyrighted the name \"\"Eightball.\"\" The man had made an offer to allow them to use the name \"\"Eightball\"\" if they had given him a large sum of money and a cut of the action."

That \"\"everything on the inside and not so much on the outside\"\" formula has been working lately in skateboarding and you can imagine that trend will carry on into 2014. For now let's take a look at the companies who got it right this year with The 10 Best Skate Shoes of 2013. Reggie Altema is a Haitian writer from New Jersey who grew up obsessed with music and skateboarding but despised east coast winters, so the former Fat Beats New York employee escaped to Los Angeles where he could skate all year round.

Longboarding also has competitive races down hill, with some riders reaching speeds exceeding 50 miles per hour. A longboard varies in shape and size unlike its set counterpart, the skateboard, and has more stability, traction and durability due to larger wheel size and lower wheel durometers. Many, but not all longboards, use trucks (axles) that contain different geometric parameters than a skateboard as well. These factors and their variation have given way to a variety of disciplines, functions and purposes for a longboard."

Vans, a longtime purveyor to surfers and skateboarders, contends that a new offering by Skechers U. S. A. bears far too close a resemblance to its own checked pattern. The shoe has been tightly identified with Vans ever since Sean Penn wore the company’s classic black-and-white slip-ons in the 1982 movie “Fast Times at Ridgemont High. ”Anticipating a fight, Skechers beat Vans into court. The company filed suit last March in Federal District Court in Los Angeles, seeking a ruling that its shoe does not infringe the Vans trademark on the pattern. Skechers submitted evidence that a dozen other manufacturers had used the checkerboard pattern. Then, when Vans filed a claim to block Skechers from selling its version, the judge denied its request. Vans is now appealing. “The checkerboard is central to our design ethic, and it’s been one of our best-selling shoes for 25 years,” said Chris Overholser, spokesman for Vans."

"text": "\"E-Cigarette Vapor's Potentially Harmful Particles Raises concerns about safety of e-cig chemicals, but industry representative says they're safe From the Web MD Archives By Dennis Thompson Health Day Reporter WEDNESDAY, May 7, 2014 (Health Day News) -- E-cigarettes may not be as harmless as they initially seemed. New research suggests that e-cigarette vapor produces tiny particles that users suck deep into their lungs, potentially causing or worsening respiratory diseases. The particles are of comparable size to those contained in cigarette smoke, and as many as 40 percent of them reach the deepest part of the lungs when inhaled, said Jonathan Thornburg, lead investigator and a senior research engineer at RTI International, a North Carolina research institute. That means if the particles turn out to be harmful, they'll be causing damage throughout the lungs. \"\" These small particles have a high surface area-to-volume ratio,\"\" Thornburg said. \"\" When they deposit in your lungs, it makes it easy for whatever chemicals are in them to dissolve into your lung tissue.\"\" Those chemicals potentially could cause or worsen respiratory problems such as asthma or bronchitis. Continue Reading Belowyou might like In its review of emissions from two types of e-cigarettes, Thornburg's team did not find any toxic substances in the vapor produced by the devices. \"\" Everything we found was what the [U. S. Food and Drug Administration] and others generally regard as safe,\"\" he said, noting that the cancer -causing agents produced by burning tobacco are not present in e-cigarettes. But another new study raises the possibility that the liquids used to produce e-cigarette vapors could contain carcinogens or harmful ingredients, The New York Times reports."

However, there has been little research on the rising trend - leaving some questioning the potential health risks of vaping. And now, a new infographic created by Yahoo Health reveals what is known so far about what happens to a person's body immediately after vaping an e-cigarette, exploring how a few puffs may affect your mouth brain, and lungs - and it’s certainly not all as ‘healthy’ as you might think. In fact, as the infographic explains, smoking an e-cigarette can often lead to the same feeling of ‘cotton mouth’ that most smokers experience after inhaling traditional cigarettes, as well as a scratchy throat and a cough. Scroll down for video+2Healthier option? Although there are very few studies on e-cigarettes, a new infographic explores how vaping may affect your brain, heart, lungs and mouth And then there’s the risk e-cigarettes pose to your lungs; while the dangers might not be quite so apparent as they are when it comes to actual cigarettes, vaping can still cause some serious damage to these organs. According to the infographic, ‘nanoparticles from e-cigarette vapor’ can become embedded in the lungs, causing inflammation and increasing the risk of further infection. Much like the traditional option, e-cigarettes also release a feeling of pleasure as dopamine levels rise and enter the brain – but those with nicotine can also raise heart rate and blood pressure. E-cigarettes are considered to be a healthier option for smokers because they simulate the feeling of smoking without any smoke or burning, and a new study by a UK health agency deduced that vaporizers are 95 per cent less harmful than traditional cigarettes, suggesting that they can even help people quit tobacco. ' They’re simpler than cigarettes,' Jonathan Foulds, a professor of public health sciences and psychiatry at Penn State University’s College of Medicine and Cancer Institute told Yahoo Health. '"

Answered Oct 12, 2015 · Author has 1.2k answers and 1.9m answer views Yes Nicotine can be absorbed through the skin, but it is a fairly slow process at the dilutions most people are likely to come across. Pure nicotine on the skin can kill, large quantities of dilute nicotine can also kill, but really have to work at it. The only confirmed case of death from nicotine poisoning that I have found was a gardener spraying his plants using a dilute nicotine mist in an enclosed space. He died because he overdid it and was wearing no protective clothing or mask. Apparently he was dripping wet from overspray and just collapsed in the middle of the greenhouse. If he had stopped when he realised he was getting wet and had a shower, then he would have had a very good chance of surviving. At e-cig strengths (0 to 40mg/ml, that's 0 to 4%), nicotine is still toxic and not advised for drinking at all, but 10ml of 40mg/ml (400mg) is, by current research, only likely to make you vomit and feel really bad. The LD50 stated in most textbooks is based on self-testing in the last century, and is usually stated at about 60mg. Recent research has shown that this is hopelessly out, and it should be between 1000mg and 1200mg."

Posted on 20 March 2015 by Carl V Phillips | 31 Commentsby Carl V Phillips There is much confusion about states of matter as they relate to e-cigarette “vapor”. This post is intended to explain what you need to know about them. The word “vapor” has become a generally accepted term for “what comes out of an e-cigarette”. That means what it means, and that is fine. Common language often takes technical terms and uses them in a way that is “incorrect” if interpreted as if it were the technical term. But this can create confusion. Vapor (in the normal sense of the term) refers to the gas phase of something that is “normally” a liquid. So the bits of H2O that evaporate into the air are “water vapor” (not to be confused with fog — keep reading). There is no actual technical definition for what subset of gasses are called vapor."

Don’t miss out on this chance to improve your health!Cleaning your lungs in a natural way is very easy. Before everything else, though, you should keep in mind that if you smoke, all of the tar from the cigarettes settles in your lungs, making it very difficult to take in oxygen to your cells and expel carbon dioxide. Nevertheless, whether or not you’re a smoker, you can clean your lungs by following these simple, practical tips. First of all, it’s important that your diet is rich in citrus fruits, since these fruits have a high vitamin C content, which can help you eliminate free radicals that can cause pulmonary congestion. If you suffer from asthma, we recommend that you always eat a diet rich in citrus fruits. One or two oranges a day if you are a smoker is highly recommended to help clean out the respiratory system. Other foods that can help you are alfalfa or wheat, and brewer’s yeast, because these foods are rich in vitamin E, which is one of the best nutrients to help your lungs fight against the air pollution found in large cities. Seasonal changes As we all know, autumn and winter are the two worst seasons for your lungs. Illnesses will multiply in number, and everybody can suffer from the most characteristic pulmonary problems: colds and the flu."

Updated Oct 14, 2017 · Author has 2.6k answers and 2.3m answer views Originally Answered: Is a non nicotine vape with just flavourings bad for you? Nobody knows the final answer to this, and no one will know until a 20 year data resource becomes available around 2025. From the components in regular vapour, it appears that there are no obvious routes to morbidity (illness), and therefore a vanishingly low risk for mortality (death). From the day almost ten years ago that Dr Laugesen published the first technical analysis of ecig vapour and stated without reservation that it was impossible for vaping to cause lung cancer, until today, nobody has ever published any reasoned explanation of how vaping could possibly lead to serious illness. Nicotine content is completely irrelevant to any measure of health impact, negative or positive, except for infrequent cases. It is simply not relevant at all to health, unless (a) you have severe heart disease or a family risk for terminal vascular disease [1], in which case you might profitably avoid high-dose dietary supplementation of nicotine. Conversely, (b) a family risk for neurodegenerative or auto-immune disease [2], in which case you will probably want to consider high-dose dietary supplementation of nicotine or even low-volume smoking, since the alternative is a significant risk for serious disease and early death. Abuse of the system invalidates all estimates. That is to say, if you vape 30ml a day of highly-flavoured refills, at insane temperatures, in order to get the largest clouds of vapour and the the strongest flavour possible, then - quite frankly - all bets are off."

"text": "What Is Vegetable Glycerin?by Dr. Edward Group DC, NP, DACBN, DCBCN, DABFMLast Updated on November 24, 2015Vegetable glycerin, or glycerol, is a clear, odorless liquid produced from plant oils, typically palm oil, soy, or coconut oil. Palm and coconut oils are natural triglyceride mixtures; each triglyceride is composed of three fatty acids esterified with glycerin. Vegetable glycerin has a number of valuable applications that include cosmetic products, foods, and as a replacement for alcohol in herbal and botanical tinctures. How is Vegetable Glycerin Made? Vegetable glycerin is produced using an extraction process called hydrolysis. During hydrolysis, oils are placed under the combined force of pressure, temperature, and water. The ester bond breaks and causes the glycerin to split from fatty acids and be absorbed by water; at which point the resultant is further isolated by distillation to increase purity. Purified vegetable glycerin has a texture similar to an oil or syrup due to its organic molecular makeup, specifically, three hydroxyl groups. The Benefits of Vegetable Glycerin? Vegetable glycerin used in food applications is USP grade or over 99% pure and has a sweet taste."

The tobacco industry has become master mixologists with the additives. Some ingredients are added for flavor, but research has shown that the key purpose of using additives is to improve tobacco’s potency resulting in increased addictiveness–and the additives they choose to use are dreadful. I remember hearing something about “the list” back in the 1990s when tobacco companies first started being taken to task for their dastardly ways, but seeing the list again now that I’m educated about chemistry and health, I am absolutely staggered. It’s amazing this isn’t in the news everyday. It’s bad enough that many of these ingredients are approved for use in food–but that they haven’t been tested for burning? When burnt, the whole mess results in over 4,000 chemicals, including over 40 known carcinogenic compounds and 400 other toxins. These include nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide, as well as formaldehyde, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, arsenic, and DDT. You know it’s bad when the Phillip Morris website has this posted on their homepage: Nearly 5,000 chemicals have been identified in tobacco smoke to date. Public health authorities have classified between 45 and 70 of those chemicals, including carcinogens, irritants and other toxins, as potentially causing the harmful effects of tobacco use."

"text": "\"Nate Davis, Writer, Tobacconist, Bookseller, Manager Answered Apr 21, 2017Natural American Spirits were long considered to be a more natural, additive free cigarette. I always had my doubts about this, as it turned out they were a subsidiary of R. J. Reynolds. Now it turns out they are being sued for false advertising because of their attempt to portray this brand as a more healthy, natural alternative. Whether this says anything about the ingredients or not, I’m not sure. I always thought that the “luxury” brands like Nat Sherman and Dunhill tasted more natural, and as they have a long history behind them, perhaps their legacy gives them more of an incentive to maintain the historical content of their smokes. But in any case, cigarette manufacturers are pretty private and protective about their ingredients and manufacturing procedures, so it’s not going to be easy for a consumer to get a definitive answer about what goes in. And the FDA can look at the list of chemicals (naturally occurring or not) that emerge when tobacco is burned and point to the toxins and health risks. This is coming from the perspective of a pipe and cigar smoker who only occasionally smokes cigarettes, and who puffs on them in much the same way…without inhaling. So take my advice with a grain of salt. One thing to look out for, though: if you put the cigarette down in your ashtray for a couple of minutes, does it go out on its own?"

Wisegeek 1 gives this definition of diacetyl: A naturally occurring chemical that is produced as a byproduct of yeast during the fermentation process. Used in a wide variety of food products, it is best known as a flavoring in microwave buttered popcorn. Most recently, diacetyl has earned a bad name for being the probable cause of several popcorn factory workers developing what has been dubbed ‘popcorn lung’, or bronchiolitis.

It has been life changing! I started at 12 mg of nicotine, went down to 9 after a couple of weeks and then settled in at 6 where I have happily stayed for almost 3 months of this journey. My ultimate goal is to go down to 0, but for now I would like to try 3 but am nervous lol. Any tips on how to make the transition easier? I'm about to place a juice order and am wavering about whether to go one more round at 6 or to just bite the bullet. Any help or advice would be appreciated!19 comments share save hide reportall 19 commentssorted by: best Want to add to the discussion?

I live in Michigan, and they charge $600 or more for a vault. Expert Answers Rebekah Peoples, CFSP, CPC, Is a licensed funeral director and embalmer. She is passionate about serving others and believes that giving clients honest, accurate information empowers them to create tributes and services that are meaningful and appropriate. Her tips about funerals and life can be found at www.funeral411.com . You ask a good question about something that probably many people have wondered. Although not a state law, the state allows cemeteries to create their own ordinances and burial requirements regarding a vault or burial container for the casket. Almost all cemeteries in Michigan require one, with the exceptions usually being some Jewish cemeteries and also some \"\"green\"\" cemeteries that use what they call \"\"natural burial. \"\" You're right about the price range starting around the $600 price range. If you're not Jewish or are not interested in a green cemetery burial, but price is an issue, talk to your funeral director."

"text": "Burial Vaults and Weight-Bearing: Resisting Loadsby Wilbert Vault There are several factors or types of loads that weigh upon a burial vault. Understanding the types of loads and how they each impact the burial vault is essential to understanding the importance of a quality lined burial vault. Static Load A static or stationary load is simply the weight of the earth that rests directly over a burial vault. This load has decreased since the 1920s. In most cemeteries today, the average grave has 18 inches of earth covering, which results in a static load of approximately 4,000 pounds (two tons). Dynamic Load A dynamic load is a load that varies in intensity. This load is transferred to a burial vault as heavy cemetery equipment passes over the grave. The equipment used in cemeteries is much larger and heavier today. Some cemeteries use a backhoe, which weighs close to 25,000 pounds on average. Impact Load An impact or shock load is produced by a mechanical tamper or the dropping of a backhoe bucket and delivers a very concentrated force through the soil."

"text": "\"Funeral Costs and Expenses Funeral Costs - a detailed price breakdown Introduction The quality of a funeral is not pinned to the amount of money spent. Whether the loss is sudden and unexpected or the result of a long illness, it's important to honor the life of someone who has died and to come together as a community to share grief and get support from each other. This can be accomplished by spending a few hundred dollars on a direct cremation with private memorial gathering or by spending $100,000 on an elaborate funeral. Both can be dignified and meaningful choices. The National Funeral Directors Association states that the average cost of a \"\"regular adult funeral\"\" (funeral with embalming, viewing and a metal casket) is now $7,323. This sum is based on data from 2006 and does not including the cemetery plot, grave marker, flowers or obituary notices that are typically part of this type of funeral. With those added expenses and inflation the \"\"regular adult funeral\"\" is more realistically around at least $9,000. There are less expensive options. The least expensive direct cremation we’ve found is $540 offered by a crematory in Los Angeles, California. This includes only the basics – transportation of the body to the crematory, cremation procedure and placement of the ashes (cremains) into a simple container for pick-up."

This is the most common form of final disposition and is usually performed in a cemetery or a memorial park. There are several products and choices available when choosing this option and a basic understanding of the terms and products can be very helpful in making proper choices. GRAVE SPACE OR “PLOT”: This is the land space for burial. Typically it is about three-and-half feet wide by eight feet in length. This can vary greatly by rules and regulations of the cemetery. The depth of a grave also can vary for many reasons. It is not always true that a grave must be six feet deep. This was probably the desired depth when a simple burial was done in a field or prairie, simply to protect from animals or vandals. Today there are better ways to protect and bury, so the depth can vary."

Thinkstock By the editors of Kiplinger's Personal Finance Updated January 2015Let's face it: Most people don't plan their own funerals.

And because it's not something most people do very often, few would know what to do, anyway. See Also: The Basics Special Report As a result, we fall back on familiar choices: the \"\"Catholic\"\" funeral home, or the \"\"Polish\"\" funeral home, or, if we've been in one place long enough, the place our family has always used.

We can cite national averages but no rules of thumb. Some funeral homes are busy all the time, others aren't.

With some 1800 funeral homes in Pennsylvania, around 1000 cemeteries and memorial parks, and some 500 crematories, it can be quite a task choosing a funeral home or cremation provider. Most people usually consider recommendations from family, friends or associates who have had prior experience of arranging a funeral. However, you may either have not had any recommendations, or be requiring something different. As people are shifting more towards cremation as a disposition option, this can often mean people are seeking out new service providers. Or, cost has become such a significant aspect of death care these days, that many need to shop around to compare prices between funeral homes.

Average funeral costs continue to rise and there are many elements to consider: services, casket, vault, embalming, gravesite, and more. To make matters worse, funeral service providers and cemeteries expect payment in full at the time of the funeral. It’s little wonder that shopping for a funeral can be overwhelming. How much does a funeral cost? Funeral costs vary widely depending on where you live and what components you want to be included in the funeral ceremony. Based on our research and industry studies, average funeral costs are: The average cost of cremation with a traditional funeral service (the casket is present and you have a visitation) is $10,000-$12,000. The average cost of cremation with a memorial service (takes place sometime after the cremation, the casket is not present, and does not include a visitation) is $8,000-$10,000. The average cost of cremation with no funeral or memorial service is $2,000. The average cost of burial with a traditional funeral service (visitation and the casket is present) is $15,000."

Many things can be done by the individual rather than waiting for the funeral service provider to do it all. A typical funeral home funeral includes: 1 embalming, 1 hearse, 1 visitation, 1 funeral ceremony at the church or the funeral home, often one limousine, and the average cost for this is $5000-7000.

"text": "How Did 6 Feet Become the Standard Grave Depth? BY Matt Soniak November 29, 2012It all started with the plague: The origins of “six feet under” come from a 1665 outbreak in England. As the disease swept the country, the mayor of London literally laid down the law about how to deal with the bodies to avoid further infections. Among his specifications—made in “Orders Conceived and Published by the Lord Major and Aldermen of the City of London, Concerning the Infection of the Plague”—was that “all the graves shall be at least six feet deep. ”The law eventually fell out of favor both in England and its colonies. Modern American burial laws vary from state to state, though many states simply require a minimum of 18 inches of soil on top of the casket or burial vault (or two feet of soil if the body is not enclosed in anything). Given an 18-inch dirt buffer and the height of the average casket (which, based on the ones I just looked at, appears to be approximately 30 inches), a grave as shallow as four feet would be fine.

It’s less of a hospitable environment for microbes than the grave used to be. For untypical burials, though—where the body isn’t embalmed, a vault isn’t used, or the casket is wood instead of metal or is foregone entirely—even these less strict burial standards provide a measure of safety and comfort."

There one can see a triple-wide coffin -- 44 inches across, compared with 24 inches for a standard model. With extra bracing, reinforced hinges and handles, the triple-wide is designed to handle 700 pounds without losing what the euphemism-happy funeral industry calls its ''integrity. '' When Keith and Julane Davis started Goliath Casket in the late 1980's, they sold just one triple-wide each year. But times, along with waistlines, have changed; the Davises now ship four or five triple-wide models a month, and sales at the company have been increasing around 20 percent annually. The Davises say they base their design specifications not on demographic studies so much as on simple observations of the world around them.

"text": "Are Vegetarians Healthier Than Non-Vegetarians? Tags:vegetarian The answer is they can be, but aren't always. In general, vegetarian diets are lower in saturated fats, cholesterol and animal protein, and higher in fiber and folate than non-vegetarian diets. Consequently, vegetarians tend to have substantially reduced risks for obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, and some forms of cancer - particularly lung cancer and colon cancer. In western countries, vegetarians often live longer, on average, than non-vegetarians. However, differences in lifestyle – not just eating habits – also play a huge role in vegetarian health. People who choose to follow a vegetarian diet are often non-smokers, have a lower body weight, and exercise regularly. And, of course, not all vegetarians eat healthily. If a vegetarian replaces meat with high-fat cheeses, junk food and so on, they’re unlikely to reap many health benefits – after all, there’s no meat in ice cream, potato chips, or fudge brownies! It’s certainly possible to be a vegetarian and still consume large quantities of high-fat, high-sugar empty calories."

If not, please stick around and make sure you have your nutritional bases covered for a long term healthy, happy vegetarian lifestyle. First of all, kudos to you for being a vegetarian as it is a great choice for the environment. Plant based eating is much more sustainable than animal based eating. The environment in turn immediately rewards you, as vegetarians also consume less toxins and pesticides. Toxins are mostly stored in fat and concentrate as we move up the food chain. So eating vegetarian is clearly healthier for the environment, but is it healthier for you? As a physician, I could answer that question either way. In the long term, vegetarian eating reduces your incidence of developing cancer and cardiovascular disease."

"text": "I am a vegetarian. I am a vegetarian by choice, and not for health reasons; in fact, I would likely be healthier if I had animal proteins in my diet. As an ethical responsible human being, you should have a moderate intake of healthy animal products. Yes, you read that correctly. I am a vegetarian and I endorse you eating that steak. If you look throughout history at the human diet, it consists of a large amount of raw plant products, and some meat for important proteins. Not to delve too deeply into the science behind all this, but the easiest way to get all of your essential amino acids is by eating meat. Granted, you don’t need four steaks and a chicken breast a day, but having at least some meat on the table once a week is going to be healthier for you unless you are very carefully planning your amino acid intake. Humans didn’t evolve our incisors for chomping down on leaves, and we didn’t evolve our molars to try and rip the flesh off of a bone. Omnivorous diets are what we as a species are designed for."

"text": "The short answer is a resounding yes; it has been conclusively proven through extensive worldwide studies by independent, highly respected international health advisory boards that a vegetarian diet is significantly healthier than one which includes meat and animal products. This is true for all ages, infant to adult, and includes pregnant and lactating women. Studies have found a direct statistical correlation between decreased meat intake and increased health benefits. The chances of developing chronic diseases including high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary heart disease, obesity, kidney failure, osteoporosis and cancer, is markedly decreased among vegetarians and vegans by as much as forty percent. Along with this favorable news, chances for longevity might increase by some twenty percent. Owing to these benefits, health insurance companies commonly offer discount rates to vegetarians and vegans. For decades, a common public misconception was that a vegetarian diet lacked protein. The meat industry began a series of promotional commercials with slogans such as “meat is real food,” implying a vegetarian diet was somehow lacking. As more information came to light about the benefits of being vegetarian, the public misconception changed. It then became, vegetarians can get enough protein, but it isn’t easy, which is equally untrue."

While many will likely believe that my decision to start incorporating fish into my diet is exactly that, I do not agree. It is what is best for me at this point in my life. But I have not always felt that way. I have to admit that when I first started eating seafood again back at the beginning of December, I felt guilty. I felt like a fraud for continuing to call myself a vegetarian. I also thought it was necessary to keep this choice a secret from pretty much everyone that I knew. My parents knew and my boyfriend knew, and that was it. I guess you could say that I was embarrassed for not being “strong enough” to maintain the way of life I had chosen three years before. While I was a “closet fish eater” in my apartment and at my parents’ house during the holidays, I do not want to be that anymore."

As a long-time vegetarian vet, I'm often asked whether I feed my pets meat. I’m never certain whether it’s an honest question or an attempt to trip me up. It’s similar to being asked, “If you don’t eat meat, where do you get your protein?”My protein comes from the same place the animals people eat happen to get theirs — plants. Can Your Cat or Dog Be Vegetarian or Vegan? The simple answer is that dogs can do just fine on a carefully balanced vegetarian or vegan diet, while cats cannot. Sure, you can try to work around the whole cats-are-obligate-carnivores thing by supplementing certain synthetic amino acids, but it gets tricky — not to mention dangerous to the cat’s health. So the answer is yes for dogs, but no for cats. The comment that I most often hear after I state that dogs can be fed a vegetarian or vegan diet is that canines do better on a meat-based diet. Again, I’m not going to argue."

To a committed carnivore, adopting a vegan diet - no meat, no fish, no dairy, no eggs - sounds like a dramatic step. But a growing trend for giving up all animal products doesn't involve going vegan forever. Nor does it even require being morally opposed to eating meat. In fact, it might only last a matter of weeks. More people are pledging to go vegan for seven or 30 days, according to the Vegan Society.

"text": "Why You Should Think Twice About Vegetarian and Vegan Dietson February 20, 2014 by Chris Kresser 1,867 comments Facebook 2.3k Tweet Pin 102 Google+Brand X Pictures/Stockbyte/Thinkstock There are many reasons why people choose to go vegetarian or vegan. Some are compelled by the environmental impact of confinement animal feeding operations (CAFO). Others are guided by ethical concerns or religious reasons. I respect these reasons and appreciate anyone who thinks deeply about the social and spiritual impact of their food choices—even if my own exploration of these questions has led me to a different answer. But many choose a vegetarian diet is because they’re under the impression that it’s a healthier choice from a nutritional perspective. It is this last reason that I’d like to address in this article. For the last fifty years, we’ve been told that meat, eggs and animal fats are bad for us, and that we’ll live longer and enjoy superior health if we minimize or avoid them. This idea has been so thoroughly drilled into our head that few people even question it anymore. In fact, if you asked the average person on the street whether a vegetarian or vegan diet is healthier than an omnivorous diet, they’d probably say yes. But is this really true?"

Many people in fact are under the impression that if a food is plant or vegetarian based, then it automatically makes it healthy (or healthier). The same goes for people thinking that if it is organic, then it is healthy. Both those ideas are not always true. What is the common catch? The food being a processed food. Whether it is an organic vegetable soup, or imitation meat, we cannot allow ourselves to be fooled by processed food. If we consider all the attributes of an optimally healthy diet such as being natural, organic, plant-based, raw, acid-alkaline balanced, and if you could only apply one of those in your life, the most important one and the one which would make the most impact on your health is the idea of natural. Therefore if something is a processed food, it doesn’t matter if it is organic or what health claims it may have, the point is it is not going to create a healthy environment within your body. This brings us to the topic of this article— textured vegetable protein."

Photo courtesy of Shutterstock Share Tweet Share E-mail With all the encouragement to eat healthy that’s come out of anti-obesity campaigns, it would make sense that people who eat mostly fruits and vegetables would be ahead of the general population in terms of health. Studies have shown vegetarians live 20 percent longer than the average meat eater, and while this is largely due to the abundance of fruits and veggies they eat, it’s also because they’ve chosen to abstain from meat, which has been shown to cause cancer. Now, a new study shows just how much skipping meat can protect a person from colorectal cancer. Conducted by researchers at Loma Linda University in California, the study found that it really doesn’t matter what kind of vegetarian a person is, because they all confer a reduced risk by skipping meat. Out of four categories of vegetarians, pescovegetarians — those who also eat fish — saw the lowest risk of developing the deadly cancer, at 49 percent. Vegetarians who also ate milk and eggs (lacto-ovo vegetarians) came in next with an 18 percent lower risk, while vegans had a 16 percent lower risk and semi-vegetarians had an eight percent lower risk, according to a press release . Overall, vegetarians had a 22 percent lower risk of all colorectal cancers. The researchers said that while science has made great strides in preventing colorectal cancer through screening, prevention through lowering risk factors like a poor diet has remained an important goal — as with many other conditions like obesity. This screening has reduced cancer diagnoses and death rates significantly ; however, it remains the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States."

When comparing dentures vs veneers, you will find that each serves a different purpose. Do You Really Need to Treat One Chipped, Cracked or Missing Tooth? First, if you just have a cracked or chipped tooth, your dentist will recommend whether it needs to be repaired.

So if you have a missing tooth, your dentist will recommend getting it replaced in most circumstances. Sure, you can get by without a tooth and still eat most things."

A composite veneer can be helpful for one or two teeth but for more than that porcelain veneers are typically the way to go. This minimally invasive technique is a wonderful way to brighten your smile and improve any minor imperfections. Once placed, you will be pleased to see that dental veneers look and feel like natural teeth and resist staining.

As a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, by far the largest and most respected cosmetic organization, Dr. Bauer has been specially trained to provide you with the utmost esthetic results possible with veneers.

"text": "How Long Do Porcelain Veneers and Crowns Last?badem Prague, Czech Republic My teeth have a yellow shade because of a wrong high dose antibiotic treatment I had as a child. I am now 43 and after many years thought I could give myself shiny bright teeth as a present. There is nothing wrong with the shapes of my teeth. The doctor I consulted said whitening would not work for my problem and porcelain would be the answer. Unfortunately I don't remember what he suggested exactly but he said this porcelain on my front teeth would have to be renewed every 10 years. As the best quality treatment cost around 20,000 USD!!!

"text": "Cosmetic Dentistry 101 – How Long Do Veneers Last? Porcelain Veneers Almost every patient that comes to see me about getting a beautiful smile sooner or later asks “How long do porcelain veneers last?” This is a very valid question everyone should ask, but let me answer it here for everyone as a reference. Porcelain veneers, or porcelain laminates, are very thin but become bonded to the outside surface of your tooth, permanently. If the veneer is bonded to the enamel, the strong outside layer of your tooth, then we achieve a bond that is so strong that the porcelain would fracture before the bond would break. Then some patients always say: “My friend has veneers and some of them just popped off”. Well, if that happens then the veneers were not bonded on correctly. I can honestly say I have only seen this happen once about 10 years ago on a patient in California that I worked on, and the reason the veneer popped off was because there was a manufacturers error in one of the bonding solutions. We corrected it and it never happened again. So if veneers are coming off then there is a problem with the bond, usually."

"text": "Dental veneers Main page > Dental veneers We discussed dental crowns last time. Although having teeth crowns seems to be a good solution if the teeth are significantly damaged by cavity or friction, there is another type of framework you could have in case you do not have/wish to have your teeth filed down so drastically. This solution is called veneers. And guess what? Dental veneers can be used to give your teeth a whole new look, and get rid of those worn-out teeth like this: What are veneers? Teeth veneers are unbelievably thin shells that are placed over your teeth and used to cover them, as well as to protect them from further damage. They can even cover dark spots caused by coffee-drinking. Thanks to veneers teeth can be totally reconstructed. These instant veneers cover all the cracks or chips and improve your overall appearance and the strength of your teeth significantly. In some cases, they use temporary veneers, which are strictly temporary (as the name indicates) coverings that are used to protect sensitive teeth."

"text": "What are Lumineers? Lumineers are a type of dental restoration that is used to cover up teeth that are misaligned or discoloured to create the appearance of a perfectly straight, white smile; they are made out of a special porcelain that makes them very strong and natural-looking. Veneers are wafer-thing laminates that are shaped to fit one individual tooth and then cemented over the top of it to disguise malocclusions and make the teeth appear to be perfect; although they are very strong they will not last forever and have to be replaced at some point if the smile is to stay in its original condition. This type of cosmetic dentistry is becoming increasingly popular as more and more people strive for that flawless ‘Hollywood’ smile seen on TV and in the movies. Although they are expensive, many patients will be prepared to save their money and spend it on getting the perfect smile with a brand new set of Lumineers; this sort of treatment can provide you with flawless teeth in a matter of weeks, where orthodontic appliances could take months or even years to make the desired changes. How are Lumineers different to normal veneers? Although both restorations are designed with the same aim in mind – to create a perfect smile with beautifully white teeth that are completely aligned – they are slightly different in both their application and function. Let’s take a look at the main differences;Lumineers are strong – Lumineers are made out of treated porcelain that gives them a much stronger structure, this means they can last longer in great condition, without incurring signs of wear and tear, such as chips, cracks, and discolouration. Lumineers are thin – Despite the fact Lumineers are cut much thinner than the traditional variety of veneers, this does not mean they are weaker or any less durable; because the ceramic has been carefully manufactured to be much stronger than the alternatives, it can be cut very thin without losing its integrity. Lumineers last a long time – Most types of porcelain veneer will perform well for at least ten years, before they will start to look worn and need to be replaced or removed."

Contact Jephson Street Dental on (07)3870 3220 to see if you are a suitable candidate for veneers!One of the most effective restorative procedures for rectifying teeth that are chipped, stained or discoloured, crooked or have gaps between them is dental veneering. Finely crafted from thin pieces of porcelain, when veneers are bonded to the front surface of your teeth, they become incredibly strong and durable. Porcelain veneers are an ideal solution to capturing the look you have always wanted with only minimal disturbance to your tooth surface. As with other restorative procedures, once your teeth are meticulously prepared, a mould is taken to construct the veneers. We ensure to achieve a perfect alignment with your gum-line and a flawless natural look. Optimal oral health will significantly contribute to the success and longevity of your new veneers, therefore the Jephson Street Dental team may prescribe a stringent oral hygiene routine, including the use of a special mouthwash for several weeks prior to commencement of your treatment. Types of Dental Veneers Celebrities are often noted for their gleaming white, perfectly aligned teeth, but many often have cosmetic dentistry and dental veneers to thank for their Hollywood smile. Dental veneers can also be used as an alternative to crowns as they are less likely to show discolouration where the restoration meets the gum line. There are two types of veneers that are used by our dentists: Porcelain and composite."

Many dentists now offer this service to meet patient demand. Veneers are a wonderful service that can have a significant impact on our patients’ smiles and self esteem, and can even be a life-changing event. But when done poorly these can be devastating for the patient and dentist. Veneers can be one of the more technically challenging procedures dentists perform. They typically involve multiple teeth, affect the patients’ occlusion, and deal with multiple colors of tooth structure. They need to be created in harmony with the soft tissue, can affect the patients’ speech, and require a working knowledge of many different dental materials. On top of that, we place veneers right where the patient and public can see them so that they are out there for everyone’s inspection.

"text": "Teeth Whitening vs Dental Veneers If you’ve been looking for ways to makeover your smile, you might find the treatment options a little overwhelming. A smile makeover can be as simple as a slight cosmetic tweak, or as involved as a full mouth reconstruction. Two of the more popular treatments involved in smile makeover are teeth whitening and veneers. Both treatments have their share of benefits, but which is right for you? How They Work Teeth whitening is a commonly performed cosmetic dentistry treatment that involves applications of a bleaching agent (hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide) to whiten the teeth. Also commonly called tooth bleaching, the treatment specifically targets tooth discoloration by removing staining and reversing the effects of routine wear. Although the best whitening results are most often achieved when performed by a dentist, there are a wide range of do-it-yourself teeth whitening options available (dentist prescribed and over the counter). Basic over-the-counter whitening options have the lowest concentration of peroxide, limiting their whitening strength. The treatment procedure varies depending on the specific whitening option you select. In-office whitening generally takes one hour or less, during which a bleaching gel is applied to the surface of the teeth for one or more periods of 15 to 30 minutes."

This is because they make your smile white, uniform, etc. They can cover chips, stains, imperfections, gaps, etc. Think \"\"movie star smile\"\" - those are usually veneers. They are put on by a cosmetic dentist over several visits, and, with care, will generally last 10, 15, even 20 years. Dr. Benjamin S Fiss DDSDentist Laminate veneers, like plastic-resin bonding, cover stained and damaged teeth. Usually made of porcelain, laminate veneers are cemented onto the surface of teeth to give the tooth a smooth, complete surface and a natural shine. The material used for laminate veneers is extremely thin, preventing the bulkiness that can be a problem with plastic resin. Significantly stronger than plastic bonding resin, laminate veneers last approximately 10 to 15 years. \""

Beyond the professionally managed teeth whitening options like Britesmile , Opalescence and Zoom whitening, people are employing new, everyday products in their ongoing struggle against yellow teeth and other forms of discoloration. From whitening strips and take-home trays to whitening toothpaste and chewing gum, people are going to various lengths to achieve and maintain a white, attractive smile. Types of Discoloration Tooth discoloration falls into two main types: extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic discoloration occurs in the outer layer of the tooth, called the enamel; enamel stains can range from white streaks to yellow tints or brown spots and pits. Intrinsic discoloration occurs in the inner structure of the tooth, called the dentin, when the dentin darkens or displays a yellow (or gray) tint. Whereas extrinsic staining can be effectively treated using various whitening techniques, intrinsic staining may be more stubborn, potentially requiring alternative cosmetic treatment such as veneers.

Dental technology has advanced substantially in recent years, which gives patients like you many more options for correcting any worn, cracked, chipped, or discolored teeth. Dental veneers are quickly becoming the cosmetic option of choice over dental crowns and implants for those who want to enhance the aesthetic and function of their smiles.

Benefits of Dental Veneers Self-consciousness about discolored or broken teeth can have a significant impact on how you interact with others, affecting both your professional and personal life. While professional teeth whitening treatments and restorative dental care can definitely make an impact on your smile, sometimes cosmetic dentistry is a better option if aesthetics are a concern for you.

But even as the Modernist movement was radically changing the outward appearance of houses, underneath, many of them were still framed the conventional way, with old-fashioned sawn lumber. That's the way it was with this season's TOH TV Cambridge project house. Today, even in traditional-looking homes, the \"\"futuristic\"\" stuff is often the framing itself. And there's a new language to go with it. Besides understanding the true sizes of dimensional lumber—that a 2x4 is really about 1 1/2 by 3 1/2—carpenters now need to know a host of abbreviations: LVL, OSB, I-joist. They also need to understand more about load and force as strong, efficient engineered woods and steel replace milled stock. Then there are the countless metal ties and brackets—more than 1,700 hangers alone—they'll encounter. A house isn't just wood and nails anymore. A look at the framing done at the Cambridge house by TOH general contractor Tom Silva and his crew gives you a good idea of what some of these newer materials can do: allow for higher ceilings, larger open spaces, and even cantilevered rooms."

"text": "Something has been bothering me. I haven’t really gotten into it on the blog, but the case studies I’m doing on the furniture industry make me very uncomfortable. For the past couple of decades, there has been a drastic increase in the percentage of consumer furniture and goods manufactured using a material known as MDF. The average guy on the street probably isn’t familiar with the term, so it is understandable some of you might be asking, “What is MDF?”. It is an acronym for M edium D ensity F iberboard. Technically, MDF contains a mixture of wood solids, wax, and resin bonded together under high temperatures and high pressure to create a uniform wood-like product that is far cheaper than real wood. In layman terms, MDF is sawdust held together with glue; sort of a higher quality (that’s an oxymoron, in my opinion) material that serves as the base for the piece-of-trash furniture you get from office supply stores or certain shall-not-be-named furniture chains. I’ve heard some individual furniture makers say they believe casegood furniture constructed out of a core of MDF might have a life span of 1/10th or 1/4th that of something made from solid wood, properly constructed. To be fair, it also costs roughly 1/4 to 1/10th as much as real wood. If that weren’t bad enough, a lot of MDF is manufactured using formaldehyde, a known human carcinogen."

"text": "\"Posted on: July 21, 2015When wondering, “how long do veneers last on front teeth?”, it helps to understand what they are and the process of applying them. Dental veneers, which are usually made of porcelain or a composite resin, are wafer-thin \"\"shells\"\" that are custom-made to fit over the front surface of one or more teeth, similar to a false fingernail. When Are Dental Veneers Used? Dental veneers are typically used to improve the appearance of teeth that are stained or discolored, which can be attributed to a number of different factors. The antibiotic tetracycline, as well as a few other drugs, are well-known for causing tooth discoloration. Root canal treatments and an overuse of fluoride can also cause a tooth to change color, as can a heavy consumption of red wine and even tea. Dental veneers are also used to quickly, effectively, and painlessly change the shape of one or more teeth that may be chipped, uneven, misaligned, or even worn down. They can also be used to close small gaps between teeth. Veneers are a nice intermediate option for people who want to change the shape or color of their teeth with more than what can be done with bonding, but the problems are not significant enough to need a crown."

One study by the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) estimates that the capital cost of construction accounts for only 11% of the total cost of building ownership. Energy, maintenance and alterations each have more than twice the impact on total cost. A similar study by The National Research Council places the capital cost of construction at 15% of the total cost of building ownership. Whatever the number, the message is the same – building owners who focus solely on minimizing the capital cost of construction are wasting an opportunity to positively impact 80-90% of their future costs. Unfortunately, though, the cost of short-sighted upfront decisions is only realized once a building is occupied and operational —when it’s too late to make changes. Looking to Benjamin Franklin’s advice, the best way to reduce total cost of building ownership is to prevent operating inefficiencies during initial design and construction."

"text": "Do-it-yourself DIY Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Demesne It doesn’t take many years before your kitchen can look a little the worse for wear. Colors change, cabinet styles change, and what suited you ten years ago may no longer please you. If you have a country kitchen, but crave a contemporary look, cabinet refacing can provide the look you want for much less than replacing the cabinets. Refacing can range from simply repainting existing cabinets and drawer fronts and updating hardware to stripping cabinet doors and applying veneer or other decorative elements. Refacing can also include completely replacing cabinet doors in a new style using new materials. If you’re so inclined you can reface your cabinets and drawers yourself by purchasing materials and supplies from a DIY do-it-yourself kitchen cabinet refacing company, or you can hire a company that specializes in cabinet refacing to do the work for you. Different companies have slightly different definitions of cabinet refacing. Some build new drawers and doors for existing cabinets while some clean, install new veneers, and add new hardware. The key, if you choose to go with a professional, is to be clear about the range of services and what exactly they can offer you for a given price. Reface or replace?"

"text": "Stone veneer siding is an attractive and affordable alternative to stone and other traditional sidings. It's made from natural ingredients such as cement, iron-oxide pigment and aggregate. Stone veneer looks almost identical to real stone and is a popular choice for those looking for a more cost-effective solution. The warmth and beauty of stone veneer comes in a variety of styles and colors, which make it appealing to builders. The Costs Average minimum cost: $9.00Average maximum cost: $16.00The average costs based on a 1,500-square-foot home are between $13,250 and $24,000. Stone veneer is considerably more expensive than other cheaper options such as vinyl but is mostly maintenance free and durable, making it a longer-lasting, cost-effective option. The general rule of thumb for calculating the amount of stone needed is by figuring out the square footage covered with stone, and to deduct one square foot for each linear foot of corners. Materials Needed to Install Siding Although it is recommended to hire a professional to have the job done right and with a guarantee, some homeowners choose to go the DIY route. To get started with installing stone veneer, the basic tools and materials should be on hand, like a masonry brush, saw, trowel, grout and hammer. Also, be sure to have some protective ground covering under the stone such as a tarp."

But here’s the deal: renovating a house involved a LOT of different technical skills, and you don’t have to walk into it with any of them, really. I didn’t! And while I think it’s good to dip your toe into all sorts of things to learn how they work and whether you actually like them, after you’ve done that I think it’s OK to be honest about what you find enjoyable/gratifying and cut yourself some slack on what you don’t. For me, I’ve found that I really enjoy some woodworking/carpentry times, basic electrical, tedious crazy tasks that wouldn’t really make financial sense to hire out (removing and planing down all the original clapboard on my house, for instance! ), and plenty of other things like painting and restoring windows that’s neither fun nor un-fun but manageable and fine and kind of satisfying. And then there are other things that I have very little interest in, like plumbing and, you guessed it, skim coating."

Find out why composite woods are becoming so popular for a wide range of home improvement projects. Advantage of Composite Wood Boards, planks, structural lumber, and decking made of composite wood tend to be stronger and more versatile than traditional lumber. Composite wood also makes better use of trees. Almost every fiber in the entire tree can be used in the manufacture of composite wood, compared to only about 40 percent that may be used for solid lumber. The main eco-concern with composite wood is the addition of formaldehyde and other volatile organic compounds in bonding the wood fibers. However, manufacturers are finding alternatives to these unhealthy chemicals. As sustainable traditional wood becomes scarcer and composite woods become safer to use, the range of options is expanding. Here are some of the types of composite wood on the market."

"text": "\"Skateboard Veneer Skateboard decks are made by layering thin pieces of wood called veneer on top of one another. Veneer is available in many different species, grades and thicknesses. Acer Saccharum (hard maple) is the preferred species for skateboards because of it's hardness, resistance to shock and pop or rebound among other things. Hard maple veneer, also known as sugar maple and hard rock maple, grows in south east Canada and north east United States. The most sought after of this species is located in the great lakes regions. The most commonly used thickness of veneer in the skateboard manufacturing industry today are, 1/17th of an inch (.058 / 1.47mm) for the face and core layers and 1/20th of an inch (.050 / 1.27mm) for the cross band layers of veneer. They are called cross band layers because their grain runs from side to side, opposed to end to end. Different combinations and order of veneer layers are common, however most decks have a total thickness of approximately 10mm. You can deviate from this but thinner skateboard decks tend to break easier and thicker skateboard decks seem to be too heavy. The moisture content of the skateboard veneer should be near 8 percent humidity but depends greatly on where you are located and what time of the year it is."

Unfortunately, a meniscus tear is a most common cartilage injuries of the knee joint. Get to know the importance of meniscus in our knee and, the available treatment options if you get injured, what are the primary measures to be taken care, and more in detail. About Meniscus Tear The meniscus is a piece of cartilage in your knee that cushions and stabilizes the joint. It protects the bones from wear and tear. However, all it takes is a good twist of the knee to tear the meniscus. In some cases, a piece of the torn cartilage breaks loose and catches in the knee joint, causing it to lock up. Moreover, meniscus protects the joint surface and absorbs the shock produced by activities such as walking, jumping and running.

The meniscus is the most commonly injured structure in the knee joint. Imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging may be warranted but are no substitute for thorough clinical history and examination. Objective/s This article outlines the aetiology, presentation, diagnosis (both clinical and radiographic) and management of these important injuries. Discussion Magnetic resonance imaging can confirm clinical concern for meniscal tear, review intra- and extra-articular anatomical structures and exclude alternative diagnoses. Meniscal tears can be assessed arthroscopically for stability and vascularity. Even partial meniscectomy may lead to osteoarthritis. On the basis of the findings, treatment can be considered in terms of four Rs: Rest and Rehabilitate the patient (with physiotherapy), and if the patient is not improving on Review, Refer to an orthopaedic surgeon. New experimental surgical techniques seek to replace damaged tissue. These include meniscal allograft transplantation, biosynthetic scaffolds, growth factor and gene therapy, or a combination of these."

The most common knee injuries include fractures around the knee, dislocation, and sprains and tears of soft tissues, like ligaments. In many cases, injuries involve more than one structure in the knee. Pain and swelling are the most common signs of knee injury. In addition, your knee may catch or lock up. Many knee injuries cause instability — the feeling that your knee is giving way. Fractures The most common bone broken around the knee is the patella. The ends of the femur and tibia where they meet to form the knee joint can also be fractured. Many fractures around the knee are caused by high energy trauma, such as falls from significant heights and motor vehicle collisions.

"text": "\"Meniscus Tears… Why Surgery Isn’t Always Necessary Last Updated October 4, 2017 by Howard J. Luks, MDMeniscus tears are very common. Each knee has two menisci which serve as cushions. They can tear due to degeneration, or they can tear due to trauma or a sports injury. The treatment of a meniscus tear will depend on the type of tear you have, whether or not you also have osteoarthritis and the nature of your complaints. Many people do not understand why many meniscus tears do not require surgery. Having a firm understanding of what the meniscus does and why some tears do not require surgery should go a long way in assisting you in your surgical decision-making. Meniscus tears are a very common source of pain in the knee. They are also commonly seen on MRIs obtained for other reasons – and are not necessarily the cause of your pain. Many people come in on a daily basis and ask if surgery for their meniscus tear is always necessary.

"text": "Nov 12The Essentials About A Torn Meniscus What you need to know How do meniscus get torn? Meniscal tears can occur in all age groups. All it can take is one single event such as a twisting movement at the knee while your leg is bent to damage your meniscus or it can gradually wear out because of age and overuse called a degenerative tear. Meniscus tear injuries often occur during athletic activities, particularly in contact sports such as football and hockey. Motions that involve pivoting and sudden stops, in sports like tennis and basketball can also cause a meniscus injury. Deep squatting or kneeling, especially when lifting a heavy weight can also cause a tear. Traumatic tears are most common in active people from 10–45 years old. They are frequently radial or vertical in the meniscus and can produce a moveable fragment that can catch in the knee and therefore require surgical treatment. It is not uncommon for a meniscal tear to occur with injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament ACL and the medial collateral ligament MCL. When these three problems happen together, it is known as the “unhappy triad."

If a meniscus is so badly damaged it cannot be repaired, it may need to be removed or trimmed out. Without the meniscus cushion, persistent knee pain and arthritis can develop. For many older patients with this condition, a knee joint replacement might be the right option. But active people younger than 55 may be eligible for an alternative treatment: meniscal transplant surgery. A meniscal transplant replaces the damaged meniscus with donor cartilage. Meniscal transplants are not right for everyone. If you already have arthritis in your knee, a meniscal transplant may not help you.

Clinical Question What is the most appropriate evaluation for a patient with an acute knee injury? Evidence Summary Traditionally, physical examination maneuvers, such as the Lachman test, the pivot shift, the anterior drawer, and the Mc Murray test, have been recommended for patients with acute or subacute knee injury. A recent systematic review 1 identified 35 studies that used results of arthroscopic surgery as the reference standard; however, in most of these studies, the arthroscopists were not blinded to the physical examination findings, and most studies had other design flaws. Nevertheless, they still provide important guidance regarding the relative accuracy of the most widely used maneuvers. 1 Data for the physical examination are summarized in Table 1. A positive Lachman test or pivot test is strong evidence of an existing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear, and a negative Lachman test is fairly good evidence against that injury. Although widely used, the anterior drawer is the least helpful maneuver for diagnosing an ACL tear. Joint line tenderness is not very helpful at ruling in or ruling out meniscal injury, while a positive Mc Murray test is most helpful for confirming the diagnosis."

It is a tear that occurs in the middle layers of a tendon and not on the outside layers. An intrasubstance tear is most seen in the rotator cuff and the knee although it is possible in other tendons as well. Since the advent of the MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), it is more likely that an intrasubstance tear will be diagnosed. In the rotator cuff, this is a tear between the middle layers of the rotator cuff but there are no changes which can be seen on the articular or bursal sides of the tendon. Rotator cuff tears come in many different places and in many different sizes. A full thickness tear is often causes when there is a big trauma like a car accident or a fall or other injury. There is massive crushing. Other rotator cuff tears are less obvious. These, like the intrasubstance tear, can be more hidden and partial."

Methods We conducted a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trial in 146 patients 35 to 65 years of age who had knee symptoms consistent with a degenerative medial meniscus tear and no knee osteoarthritis. Patients were randomly assigned to arthroscopic partial meniscectomy or sham surgery. The primary outcomes were changes in the Lysholm and Western Ontario Meniscal Evaluation Tool (WOMET) scores (each ranging from 0 to 100, with lower scores indicating more severe symptoms) and in knee pain after exercise (rated on a scale from 0 to 10, with 0 denoting no pain) at 12 months after the procedure. Results In the intention-to-treat analysis, there were no significant between-group differences in the change from baseline to 12 months in any primary outcome."

"text": "\"Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure orthopaedic surgeons use to visualize, diagnose, and treat problems inside a joint. The word arthroscopy comes from two Greek words, \"\"arthro\"\" (joint) and \"\"skopein\"\" (to look). The term literally means \"\"to look within the joint. \"\" In an arthroscopic examination, an orthopaedic surgeon makes a small incision in the patient's skin and then inserts pencil-sized instruments that contain a small lens and lighting system to magnify and illuminate the structures inside the joint. Light is transmitted through fiber optics to the end of the arthroscope that is inserted into the joint. By attaching the arthroscope to a miniature television camera, the surgeon is able to see the interior of the joint through this very small incision rather than a large incision needed for surgery. The television camera attached to the arthroscope displays the image of the joint on a television screen, allowing the surgeon to look, for example, throughout the knee. This lets the surgeon see the cartilage, ligaments, and under the kneecap. The surgeon can determine the amount or type of injury and then repair or correct the problem, if it is necessary. Why is arthroscopy necessary?"

It helps the knee bones glide easily over each other, absorbs shock and acts to stabilize the joint. The knee joint contains an inner (or medial) meniscus and an outer (or lateral) meniscus (Figure 1). The medial meniscus is torn much more often than the lateral meniscus. There are many shapes and sizes of meniscal tears and some cause more problems than others. Small tears that stay in proper position within the knee can often be treated without surgery. Repair of more complicated large tears, especially if they move and are loose in the joint, requires surgery. Figure 1. CAUSESMeniscal tears can occur due to injury or may result from gradual wear. The most common cause of meniscus tears is knee twisting, especially with rapidly changing direction (pivoting and cutting) or falling during sports."

It actually serves many functions in the knee other than shock absorber. It acts as a stabilizer preventing the lower leg from sliding forward on the femur. It also helps to push joint fluid into the surface of the joint to help the cartilage cells survive. The joint has a small coefficient of friction which is the same thing as saying it glides 10 times better than 2 pieces of ice sliding on one another.

We systematically review the literature on clinical outcomes following partial meniscal replacement using different scaffolds. Sources of data We performed a comprehensive search of Medline, CINAHL, Embase and the Cochrane Central Registry of Controlled Trials. The reference lists of the selected articles were then examined by hand. Only studies focusing on investigation of clinical outcomes on patients undergoing a partial meniscal replacement using a scaffold were selected. We then evaluated the methodological quality of each article using the Coleman methodology score (CMS), a 10 criteria scoring list assessing the methodological quality of the selected studies (CMS). Areas of agreement Fifteen studies were included, all prospective studies, but only 2 were randomized controlled trials. Biological scaffolds were involved in 12 studies, 2 studies investigated synthetic scaffolds, whereas 1 remaining article presented data from the use of both classes of device. The mean modified CMS was 64.6. Areas of controversy Several demographic and biomechanical factors could influence the outcomes of this treatment modality."

This includes fractures of: Patella: accounts for 1% of all fractures, most common in ages 20-50Femoral condyles: these usually fracture when the knee is stressed. Tibial eminence: caused by accidents, such as a blow to the proximal tibia when the knee is flexed, or if the knee is hyperextended during an accident. Usually seen in patients aged 8-14. Tibial tuberosity: more common in men than in women, and in younger patients rather than adults; often seen in athletes, especially those involved in jumping sports. Tibial plateau: compressive fractures of the articular surface, typically from extreme force such as fall from a height or being hit by a vehicle, although in patients with osteoporosis minimal force may be needed. Segond's fracture: this is an avulsion fracture of the lateral tibial condyle immediately beyond the articular surface with the knee. Although not directly a part of the knee joint, it occurs in association with tears of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), medial meniscus and lateral capsular ligament, and is thus included here. Knee fracture can result in neurovascular compromise or compartment syndrome. Soft tissue infection or osteomyelitis may occur with open fractures."

ICD-9-CM 80.2Me SH D001182OPS-301 code 1-697Medline Plus 007471 [ edit on Wikidata]Arthroscopy (also called arthroscopic or keyhole surgery) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure on a joint in which an examination and sometimes treatment of damage is performed using an arthroscope, an endoscope that is inserted into the joint through a small incision. Arthroscopic procedures can be performed during ACL reconstruction. While commonly used for meniscal injuries to the knee, this use is not supported by any evidence for its claimed positive results. [ 1]The advantage over traditional open surgery is that the joint does not have to be opened up fully. For knee arthroscopy only two small incisions are made, one for the arthroscope and one for the surgical instruments to be used in the knee cavity. This reduces recovery time and may increase the rate of success due to less trauma to the connective tissue. It is has gained popularity due to evidence of faster recovery times with less scarring, because of the smaller incisions. ["

The knee provides both strength and flexibility during leg movements, while being loose enough to allow the freedom for quick movements and changes in directions. This strength and flexibility in the knee also makes it more risk for have an injury. Any one can suffer from a meniscus injury what puts you at great risk are athletes who play contact sports such as football, rugby, hockey, and/or repetitive stress activities (such as running and skiing) It also can be job related where you spend a lot of time in the squat position (i.e. construction labor, carpet-laying, warehouse worker). Although knee injuries are more common in women than men, men experience more meniscus injuries and tears (approximately 2.5 males: 1 female). This is believed to be due to men's participation in more aggressive sports and manual activities. For men, meniscal injuries occur most often between the ages of 31 to 40; for females meniscal tears usually occur between 11 and 20 years. The most common causes of meniscus injuries are acute trauma to the knee and degeneration of the knee joint tissue. In either case, a piece of the meniscus can loosen or tear and move around in your joint interfering with your normal knee movement and function."

"text": "\"By The Astro Twins Jul 19, 2017Daily Weekly Monthly Profile Compatibility See All Signs AQUARIUS + ARIES (March 21 - April 19) ♥♥♥♥You're laugh-a-minute friends who make a fine comedic duo, but the romance isn't as hearty as your side-splitting guffaws. You're amazed by how quickly the other delivers a hilarious comeback or a clever opinion, and it turns you on. Banter leads you to the bedroom fast, where the sex is playful and experimental (though not heavy on the emotional connection). It's as though you've met your twin; and alas, you may soon feel more like siblings than lovers. After a couple weeks, the Bickersons sideshow routine gets old, especially for Aries, and you run out of things to talk about. While casual Aquarius likes to keep the conversation light, Aries has intense, brooding spells that demand way too much emotional attention. For Aquarius, problems are solved with steely logic or left alone, but Aries is unable to curb obsessive thinking, which drives Aquarius mad. Your styles of affection are different, too. Cool Aquarius gets overwhelmed by the Ram's passion and physicality—there's way too much touching, grabbing and kissing for the airy Aquarian temperament. If you're determined to be together, push yourselves to go beyond platonic borders by traveling, taking classes, even performing on stage together."

Outgoing, and social, it's important to align their interests and values. Taurus: Can be frustrating. Their energies are different and move at a different pace. But there is romance and passion, which can keep them coming back to each other. Gemini: There are challenges as Aries is a doer, and Gemini is a thinker. They need mutual love and purpose can last the distance. Cancer: Ruled by the Moon, Cancer can often be too sensitive for Aries, taking their comments and actions too seriously. There needs to be give and take on both sides. Leo: As fire signs, these two are in sync, and have a good understanding and knowingness, almost like a code they and only they, understand."

"text": "\"VIRGO MALE FACTS (From the book \"\"Sextrology: The astrology of sex and the sexes\"\" by Starsky and Cox) Virgo man is a complicated, often confounding character. To him, the world is an imperfect place fraught with pitfalls and disappointments. He is especially predisposed to a defeatist view of relationships, which can't help but fall short of his signature pristine expectations. Masking profound sensitivity and a wealth of emotional wounds behind a superior cynicism, Virgo man projects an impenetrability that alternately puts people off or piques their curiosity. He is a master of disguises, putting on different faces for different people, careful to keep his friendships seperate and, thus, others' illusions of him alive. He fears upset-conflicts are to be avoided at all costs-so he keeps his distance in relationships, typically entering into bonds where clear out control can be maintained. Vigo is vulnerable to a litany of doubts, insecurities, and fears from an early age. He not only feels socially cast off, but because Virgo is often born at a time when his parents are embroiled in a struggle or strife, he also senses a lack of familial love. Though often musically and artistically gifted, Virgo fights and uphill battle in the trenches of human relationships. He is the zodiac's misanthrope, a Charlie Brown, the cartoon Everyman who often finds himself positioned low on the totem pole."

A watcher of the occult in media, Vigilant Citizen calls this Beyonce's Symbolic Occult Rebirth. Vigilant Citizen explains how record companies own the image of performers like Beyonce. And many are in secret societies, as is evident by all the dark occult symbols used in pop culture today. VC writes, \"\"They believe in the powers of the mind, channeling spirits, Black and White Magick, demon possession, sacred rituals and entities populating the ethereal spheres. \"\" Performers like Beyonce are tools of an industry that is delivering dark images of a dystopian future. She seems genuinely nice, so I find it sad. And her performances have been like a mass initiation into the dark occult, and it's unbelievably destructive to our society. VC's article explains it all, and here's the original article based on the more \"\"reserved\"\" Beyonce Knowles. The Birth Data for Beyonce Giselle Knowles: Born September 4th, 1981 in Houston, TX, USA (birth time not available)."

"text": "Virgo Moon Sign Virgo Moon looks to the little things in life for their happiness and security. They may deny it, but they actually enjoy activities like running errands, taking care of details, and so on. They may complain about it, but as long as they feel appreciated they will do their best to not only take care of themselves, they'll take care of you, too. They will usually be the first to volunteer to help someone else. They may be a bit low in self-esteem, but many are very happy to have a normal, pedestrian life. Simplicity is their mantra and they feel most at home when they can go through life without a lot of public attention. Because of this, they may be accused of being an underachiever or not setting their sights high enough. In reality, they are easily stressed, and they are much happier when they stay within their comfort level. Virgo Moon Sign loves routine. They are very unhappy without one, or at least feeling they have a job that is necessary."

The Aries Dog will live by the motto \"\"Me First\"\" and there will be no \"\"please\"\" about it. Life to this canine is an exciting, all-consuming challenge. This is a quick-tempered dog and, in extreme case, downright selfish. Given his or her position in the Zodiac, however, it is only natural that the Aries Dog would want to be leader of the pack. Physically, the Aries Dog is an active, energetic and urgent type of canine with an almost endless capacity for exercise who demands (and needs) long walks several times a day. This dog will enjoy a variety of activities, such as agility classes or playing frisbee. On a visit to the countryside, he or she will soon be picking up a scent or acting as a trailblazer. The Aries Dog is prone to accidents since, by nature, this canine is reckless and daring. Headaches are often a problem for this dog, as is sunstroke during the Summer months."

"text": "\"Ceres Juno Pallas Athene Sedna Chiron Lilith Astronomical Description The asteroid, Vesta, was discovered by German astronomer, Heinrich Wilhelm Olbers, on March 29, 1807. She resides in the main asteroid belt, has a diameter of 503 kilometers, and an orbital period around the Sun of 3.63 years. Vesta's basalt-like surface has a very high albedo, or reflectivity, and a spectral curve which resembles that of achondrite meteorites. It's the brightest of the main-belt asteroids and barely visible to the naked eye in clear dark skies. Mythological Background Vesta, or Hestia to the ancient Greeks, is best known as the goddess of the hearth and keeper of the sacred flame. In Greek mythology, Vesta was the first born of Cronus (Saturn) and Rhea and the last to be reborn when Zeus (Jupiter) freed his siblings from Saturn's stomach. Vesta chose to remain a virgin, refusing to marry either Apollo or Poseidon. Considering some of the men she had to choose from, this was not rocket science. Every home as well as the central public hearth in every city contained a shrine to this goddess, who watched over the family and state. Roman priestesses whose duty was to tend the sacred flame were known as vestal virgins ."

"text": "\"By Susan Miller Jan 9, 2012Beloved singer, actress, dancer and fashion design celebrity, Virgo Beyoncé Knowles, and her equally famous husband, Sagittarius music mogul Jay, announced the birth of their baby girl, Blue Ivy Carter, on Saturday evening, January 7, 2012. Their baby is a Capricorn, with her moon in loving, family-oriented Cancer. Though confirming Blue Ivy's exact birth time proved difficult, I used clues gathered through various media reports to determine that Ivy is most likely a Virgo rising, so I set her chart at 9:50PM EST in New York City. Mother Beyoncé is earth sign Virgo, and with her baby's three earth planets (Sun, Mercury, and Pluto) in earth sign Capricorn, with a possibly Virgo rising, this little girl will always be emotionally close to her Mama. Beyoncé's natal moon is in Scorpio, blending beautifully and intuitively with her newborn's Cancer moon. This will insure a magical closeness during all their lives. This child's relationship with her father will be close too, for together Baby Blue and her father will crackle with intellectual excitement. No doubt, as she grows up, they will have plenty of discussions about various ideas and projects. Indeed, there is ample reason to feel that both parents will contribute to this baby's happiness and development of her talents. With baby Blue's moon in Cancer, family will always be \"\"all\"\" for Baby Blue."

Jefferson became America ’s first secretary of state, its second vice president and, from 1800-1808, the third president of the United States . He was responsible for pushing through the Louisiana Purchase , which more than doubled the size of the American nation. A man of strong idealism, he was an early advocate of the total separation of church and state and for the duration of his life the most eloquent American proponent for the preservation of individual freedom as the core meaning of the American Revolution. He was a staunch enemy not only of foreign imperialism and despotism, but opposed a strong central government (advocated by the Federalists) as a return to the abuses which the Revolution had defeated. A man of many and varied talents, he was also an inventor and scientist, a passionate lover of music and literature and a distinguished architect. He was both the architect and founder of the University of Virginia . An Astrorayological Overview Although Jefferson can easily be linked to the first ray through his ongoing interest in government, his unspectacular manner, his preference for working largely through the written word and in committee, and his intelligent and versatile power of manifestation upon the physical plane link him, arguably, more closely to the seventh ray and the Department of Master R., just a Benjamin Franklin can be similarly linked."

But there are no hard and fast rules, and some opposite signs get on better than others. Astrological Opposites, Pair by Pair Aries star sign – Libra star sign The attraction of opposites can be so powerful it can knock people for six with a sucker punch that can cause them to take leave of their senses. Look what it did to Bonnie ( Libra) and Clyde (Aries). Aries is ruled by Mars, the masculine, and Libra, by the feminine Venus, and so there’s a sense that by coming together, two halves become a whole and hang the consequences. These are two lively signs and the energy that exists between them can be electric. They’re also the signs of high achievement, and are political creatures: David Cameron and wife Samantha is an Aries-Libra couple, as were the late Tony Benn and his wife Caroline. Aries represents the ‘self’ in the zodiac, the ego, and Libra rules how we all get along together, and so Aries teaches Libra the art of self-awareness, and Libra can smooth away some of Aries rougher edges to teach them how to make the most of social situations. They may not always see eye to eye, but they can usually hammer out their differences through reasoned debate."

Virgo is represented by the virgin maiden. It is ruled by the planet Mercury. The planet Mercury symbolizes the sharing of ideas, communication, and dexterity. When coupled with the other zodiac elements, the planet Mercury can indicate an indecisive and fickle-minded nature. But when combined with a Virgo’s earth element, the flighty qualities of Mercury are provided stability and a stunning attentiveness to detail. Typical characteristics and personality traits of Virgo The Virgo astrology sign is a passive or an introvert birth sign due to its negative polarity."

The Aries Dog will live by the motto \"\"Me First\"\" and there will be no \"\"please\"\" about it. Life to this canine is an exciting, all-consuming challenge. This is a quick-tempered dog and, in extreme case, downright selfish. Given his or her position in the Zodiac, however, it is only natural that the Aries Dog would want to be leader of the pack. Physically, the Aries Dog is an active, energetic and urgent type of canine with an almost endless capacity for exercise who demands (and needs) long walks several times a day. This dog will enjoy a variety of activities, such as agility classes or playing frisbee. On a visit to the countryside, he or she will soon be picking up a scent or acting as a trailblazer. The Aries Dog is prone to accidents since, by nature, this canine is reckless and daring. Headaches are often a problem for this dog, as is sunstroke during the Summer months."

Ruled by the planet Uranus, it is a complex sign that is known for its unpredictable nature and intellectual levels. It is an Aquarian characteristic of always going in pursuit of knowledge, be it about technology or human behavior. Nothing excites individuals born under this sign more than a long, deep argument. Although calm and quiet from the exterior, every Aquarian has a strong rebellious streak prodding him to question set norms. He is a born non-conformist, whose fearless disposition of questioning the authorities is a blessing for those who are oppressed.

"text": "How to Emotionally Detach From Someone You Care About Here are five tips on how to emotionally detach from someone you care about. It’s a process, but learning healthy emotional detachment will help you retain a sense of yourself in your relationship. Being detached from someone you love doesn’t mean you’re closed off, aloof, or emotionally unavailable. It simply means that you love without expecting anything in return. You are freely able to give and receive love. And, perhaps more importantly, you are free able to let go of someone you love. These tips for healthy detachment from someone you care about are inspired by several comments on Emotional Disconnection in Marriage – How to Feel Less Alone. I originally wrote this article for people who are healing after a breakup, but then realized that detaching emotionally is important for people who are in relationships. So I updated these tips to reflect a healthy detachment (or interdependence) in existent and broken relationships.

"text": "By Lane Moore Jun 15, 2016Getty Images While there are so many factors that could contribute to whether or not you'd cheat on your partner, if you're an astrology geek, you might have a hunch your sign plays a factor. To help figure it out I talked to Cosmopolitan.com's own Maressa Brown to get the real deal on how much your sign influences how likely you are to stray. Aries: You're super competitive, so if you feel like your partner doesn't think you're hot AF, you might turn your love life into The Hunger Games. Not in the way that someone will die, but you might get into dicey territory while you're trying to make people fight for you. Be careful. Taurus: You are known for being stubborn as hell and loyal AF, so once you commit to someone, you're in for life. Still, if you feel like your partner isn't giving you all the rose petals and sexy One Direction mixes you deserve, you might look for that in someone else. Gemini: You already know you're pretty indecisive and have a short attention span, which sadly makes you pretty prone to needing more from a relationship than what one partner can provide. Also, if you feel like your partner can't banter with you like you're in a rom-com, you might go looking for someone else you can verbally vibe with. Cancer: You're a fountain of emotions and really crave stability, thus making you one of the least likely signs to cheat."

Like an icon, they tell us a bigger story - representing the essence of your sign, and its place in the zodiac. Astrologers use these zodiac symbols to identify sun signs, or the sign a planet is passing through at a particular time. And once you’re tuned in to them you’ll see them everywhere – perhaps even tattooed onto a bare shoulder….. So what does your zodiac symbol mean? ARIES Element: Fire Ruling Planet: Mars Symbol: The Ram. The glyph shows the horns of the ram – an aggressive, adventurous and indefatigable animal. The energy and assertive, feisty qualities of the ram are always associated with the sun sign Aries. Another interpretation of the glyph is that it shows the eyebrows and nose of a human face.

"text": "Psychoanalysis Detached Personality And Freedom By Michael Schreiner | April 29, 2015People with detached personality are highly sensitive to any type of coercion, perceived or real. Their obstinate refusal to go along with this coercion can’t exactly be called rebelliousness since rebels are typically concerned with overthrowing the existing structure of things. Those who are emotionally detached just want nothing to do with the existing structure of things, they wish to be left in peace. This sensitivity to coercion is why they stay away from groups of all kinds, why they prefer jobs where they aren’t required to work closely with colleagues and where there is little oversight, why they’re unlikely to have many intimate relationships. What does this strategy accomplish from the psychological point of view? If we think of the masochistic solution as letting oneself be put into bondage in the symbolic or literal sense and the sadistic solution as seeking out others to put into bondage in the symbolic or literal sense, we can think of the detached solution as escaping bondage altogether, eliminating existential anxiety through running away from all forms of connection and the supposed coercion these connections entail. Emotional detachment is usually rationalized as simply the desire for freedom. But the freedom those with detached personality have in mind is conceptualized in the negative sense, it’s freedom from not freedom for anything. They don’t seek out this freedom for the purposes of growth, out of the desire for authentic love or creative work, but rather to avoid being beholden to anything or anyone. These people were hurt earlier in life, usually by abusive primary caregivers."

"text": "By Jennifer Angel Apr 6, 2015 1k Alexi Lubomirski In astrology language, your Sun sign dictates your zodiac personality, while your Moon sign, the second most important influence in your horoscope chart after the Sun, represents your emotions, your inner mood. And the two together strongly influence your emotional mode of operation. Your Sun sign is easy to determine, through your day and month of birth. Your Moon sign can be determined by a calculation of your full date, place and time of birth. The Moon moves quickly around the zodiac, taking one month to visit all signs and stays in each sign an approximate two-day period, hence, if the Moon is about to ingress to the next sign on the day of your birth, you will need to know your time of birth for an accurate Moon sign placement. An exact time of birth is always the most favorable, but even if you have an approximate time, depending on how close it is to the Moon changing signs, an astrologer can determine your Moon sign. Emotional ARIES: Aries are ruled by the red-hot, strong-minded planet Mars, and the energy can either be motivating and assertive or determined and aggressive. The influence of Mars can make you impulsive, intense and quick to act and overreact. Emotionally, you can be fiery with a short temper. The very essence of Aries needs competitive challenge and strives on a certain level of excitement in any form."

Virgos work almost like a computer. Thoughts, emotions and their discriminatory behavior and yours all needs to be processed first and foremost, before any rash decisions can be made or even considered. They are very skeptical of love and romance. So anything related or anything that closely resembles it needs to be thoroughly examined for any deficiencies. Love is patient and kind so they possibly live by this and go with that belief. For some virgo men, love is overrated because they are very logical and they firmly believe love stems from emotions so therefore emotions can cloud ones judgment. So, all in all, you have quite a challenge on your hands by even getting one to fall in love and see things differently."

The science behind astrology may have its roots in astronomy but don't confuse these two disciplines. Astronomy can explain the position of the stars in the sky but it's up to you to determine what, if anything, their alignment signifies. In short, as you'll see below, your Zodiac sign is not what you think it is, and your corresponding horoscope can't be right. [ Related: Wobbly Earth Means Your Horoscope Is Wrong]The constellations of the Zodiac The ecliptic, or the path of the sun as it's perceived from the revolving Earth, passes through the constellations that formed the Zodiac: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Astrologers skip a 13th constellation that also resides on the ecliptic: Ophiuchus. Babylonian astrologers, and later the Greeks, originally determined Zodiac signs by which constellation the sun was \"\"in\"\" on the day you were born. Early astronomers observed the sun traveling through the signs of the Zodiac in the course of one year, spending about a month in each. Thus, they calculated that each constellation extends 30 degrees across the ecliptic."

"text": "\"Home » Classroom Types of Tones Used in Narrative Essays By Michael Stratford; Updated September 26, 2017Types of tone are divided by emotional intensity. Tone is an author's attitude towards his subject and audience (see References 1). Since a narrative essay (see References 2) is essentially an autobiographical story making a point, the tone of the essay depends upon the emotional investment, or lack of it, the author demonstrates. The types of tone in a narrative essay are divided by emotional intensity: some types are negatively passionate, some are positively emotionally charged and some are detached. Detached types of tone An author may have an emotional investment in a narrative for which s/he purposefully demonstrates little emotion. Types of tone for these essays are detached. These tones include reflective, which is contemplative and introspective; factual, which is coldly logical and unbiased; and emotionally estranged, which demonstrates an impartial attitude, indicating a disconnect between heart and mind. Joan Didion's \"\"On Self Respect\"\" is a narrative essay of the detached tone type; she recounts earlier devastating failures and dissects what they mean to her and others with aloofness and emotional restraint. Positive Emotionally Charged Tones Tone reveals emotion invested in an author's attitude, and emotionally charged types of tone for narrative essays are more numerous. Positive types of tone for essays include cheerful, compassionate, humorous, strongly nostalgic, optimistic, serene and whimsical."

Cells have membranes that prevent DNA from simply diffusing in or out. This is the initial barrier that scientists must overcome in order to insert foreign DNA into a cell. The four ways of accomplishing this goal are transduction, transformation, transfection and injection. But before these four methods are employed, scientists must prepare the foreign DNA by cutting it into smaller pieces or by using restriction enzymes to cut the DNA and insert the desired portion into a bacterial plasmid. Plasmids are circular pieces of DNA that can be passed between bacteria and viruses. Viral Transduction Transduction is the insertion of foreign DNA into a cell via a virus (See Reference 1 and 2). Viruses are made of a protein coat that houses DNA within. Viruses can bind to living cells and inject their DNA. Or, viruses can push into the host as a membrane-bound vesicle, before releasing their DNA inside the host."

"text": "Science, Tech, Math ›Science What Is a Bacteriophage? Share Flipboard Email Printby Regina Bailey Updated March 08, 201701of 01What Is a Bacteriophage? Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria. T- phages consist of an icosahedral (20-sided) head, which contains the genetic material (either DNA or RNA), and a thick tail with several bent tail fibers. The tail is used to inject the genetic material into the host cell to infect it. The phage then uses the bacterium's genetic machinery to replicate itself. When a sufficient number have been produced the phages exit the cell by lysis, a process that kills the cell. KARSTEN SCHNEIDER/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY/Getty Images A bacteriophage is a virus that infects bacteria. Bacteriophages, first discovered around 1915, have played a unique role in viral biology. They are perhaps the best understood viruses, yet at the same time, their structure can be extraordinarily complex."

Viruses can infect all types of life forms, from animals and plants to microorganisms, including bacteria and archaea. [ 1]Since Dmitri Ivanovsky 's 1892 article describing a non-bacterial pathogen infecting tobacco plants, and the discovery of the tobacco mosaic virus by Martinus Beijerinck in 1898, [2] about 5,000 virus species have been described in detail, [3] although there are millions of types. [ 4] Viruses are found in almost every ecosystem on Earth and are the most abundant type of biological entity. [ 5] [6] The study of viruses is known as virology, a sub-speciality of microbiology. While not inside an infected cell or in the process of infecting a cell, viruses exist in the form of independent particles. These viral particles, also known as virions, consist of two or three parts: (i) the genetic material made from either DNA or RNA, long molecules that carry genetic information; (ii) a protein coat, called the capsid, which surrounds and protects the genetic material; and in some cases (iii) an envelope of lipids that surrounds the protein coat."

The existence of submicroscopic infectious agents was suspected by the end of the 19th cent. ; in 1892 the Russian botanist Dimitri Iwanowski showed that the sap from tobacco plants infected withmosaic disease, even after being passed through a porcelain filter known to retain all bacteria,contained an agent that could infect other tobacco plants.

It is estimated that 30.6 million people throughout the world were infected with HIV by the end of 1997. After a person has been infected with HIV, the virus usually remains dormant for long periods of time. Then the virus begins a cycle of attacking cells of the immune system by incorporating its genetic material into the cells, using the immune cells' machinery to make more viruses from the incorporated genetic material, and then breaking the cells apart (killing them) so that the new viruses can infect more cells. In this manner, the immune system is weakened, so that the body can no longer defend itself against the pathogens that it encounters every day. Sadly, patients typically die within a few years of showing symptoms of AIDS ( i.e., signs of drastically decreased immunity due to the virus's attack on the cells of the immune system). Because so many people are affected by HIV, and because the virus is so deadly, much research has been devoted to finding ways to fight this epidemic. Researchers are seeking treatments for HIV-infected individuals, cures, and vaccines. So far, the most promising findings have been treatments to lessen the damage to the immune system from HIV; several treatments that have been developed have dramatically improved the outlook for many HIV patients. However, these treatments have many severe side effects, and in most cases are too costly to be administered widely in many parts of the world."

Drug delivery systems are engineered technologies for the targeted delivery and/or controlled release of therapeutic agents. Drugs have long been used to improve health and extend lives. The practice of drug delivery has changed dramatically in the past few decades and even greater changes are anticipated in the near future. Biomedical engineers have contributed substantially to our understanding of the physiological barriers to efficient drug delivery, such as transport in the circulatory system and drug movement through cells and tissues; they have also contributed to the development several new modes of drug delivery that have entered clinical practice. Yet, with all of this progress, many drugs, even those discovered using the most advanced molecular biology strategies, have unacceptable side effects due to the drug interacting with healthy tissues that are not the target of the drug."

Now, these and other medicines can be made by specially-modified bacteria, called transgenic bacteria. These single-celled organisms have foreign genes along side their own DNA. They live and reproduce like ordinary bacteria, but they also do a bit of extra duty, and produce human proteins for medicines and vaccines. Farm animals have also been put to work making drugs for humans. It's called gene pharming. For example, antithrombin III, which prevents blood clotting during surgery, is secreted in the milk of transgenic goats. To create these transgenic goats, scientists used a needle thinner than a human hair to inject the DNA sequence for antithrombin III into goat eggs. Then they transplanted the fertilized transgenic eggs into female goats."

"text": "BIOL 1406Pre Lab 9a.2How are vectors used in gene cloning? Gene cloning is a method for making many identical copies of a gene by inserting the gene into a living host cell. Under appropriate conditions, the host cell will replicate the “foreign” DNA along with its own DNA whenever it divides. With each cell division, the number of copies of the “foreign” gene doubles. This technique permits biologists to produce large quantities of a single gene so that they can study the gene in detail. Biologists can also induce cells containing cloned genes to produce large quantities of the protein coded for by the gene. By making large amounts of “proteins to order” in this way, scientists can study the protein’s structure and function. They can also produce large quantities of a protein for commercial or medical use. For example, scientists can produce proteins that are used as enzymes in commercial food processing techniques or proteins that can be used to treat disease.

How are bacteria and viruses different from one another? Bacteria are a type of living organism (cell) whereas viruses lack a lot of the things that all cells have, and are just a type of nucleic acid wrapped inside a protein coating without any free-floating amino acids and nucleotides and so they are really small. They are incapable of metabolism, replication, or motility unless they find a host cell, then they are able to replicate its genetic material through the host. There are different kinds of viruses that infect different organisms such as a bacteriophage (virus that infects bacteria), animal virus and plant virus.

It is apparent that the number of ways in which such disruption can occur is strictly limited and there may be as few as forty cellular genes in which mutation or some other disruption of their expression leads to unrestrained cell growth. There are two classes of these genes in which altered expression can lead to loss of growth control: Those genes that are stimulatory for growth and which cause cancer when hyperactive. Mutations in these genes will be dominant. These genes are called oncogenes. Those genes that inhibit cell growth and which cause cancer when they are turned off. Mutations in these genes will be recessive. These are the anti-oncogenes or tumor-suppressor genes. Viruses are involved in cancers because they can either carry a copy of one of these genes or can alter expression of the cell's copy of one of these genes. These are the oncogenic virus (otherwise known as oncoviruses or tumor viruses)."

Insight into the infection process could facilitate new therapeutic strategies for viral and bacterial diseases as well as food preservation. An article by Aksyuk et al (2009) published in this issue sheds light on the still mysterious infection process. It reports the first crystal structure of a significant portion of the bacteriophages T4 tail sheath protein. Together with fittings into existing cryo-EM reconstructions, it suggests a mechanism of genome delivery into the host cell for the Myoviridae phages. Viruses can be considered as mobile genetic particles, containing instructions for reproducing themselves using foreign cellular resources.

Walter Last At first glance it sounds far out to link Alzheimer's disease (AD) to an apparently harmless over-the-counter analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). Paracetamol, is called acetaminophen in the U. S. and Canada, and often sold under the brand name Tylenol. In Australasia, Africa, Asia, Europe and Central America Panadol is the most widely available brand. As opposed to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen, which reduce pain and inflammation mainly by local action, paracetamol has recently been shown to work mainly by affecting the brain where it blocks the reuptake of analgesic cannabis chemicals or endocannabinoids. This only reduces pain without improving inflammation. It also gives us an indication as to why paracetamol is more likely to be associated with a degenerative brain disease than NSAIDs with their mainly local mode of action and anti-inflammatory properties. That paracetamol is far from harmless can be seen from its tendency to cause kidney and liver damage. According to a recent study 'over use' of acetaminophen is the most common cause of acute liver failure in the United States. Paracetamol has a very narrow therapeutic index."

Share Email Feedback Sections Overview Presentation DDx Workup Treatment Medication Follow-up References Background Hypophosphatemia is defined as a serum phosphate level of less than 2.5 mg/d L (0.8 mmol/L). Phosphate is critical for a remarkably wide array of cellular processes. It is one of the major components of the skeleton, providing mineral strength to bone. Phosphate is an integral component of the nucleic acids that comprise DNA and RNA. Phosphate bonds of ATP carry the energy required for all cellular functions. It also functions as a buffer in bone, serum, and urine. The addition and deletion of phosphate groups to enzymes and proteins are common mechanisms for the regulation of their activity. In view of the sheer breadth of influence of this mineral, the fact that phosphate homeostasis is a highly regulated process is not surprising. Phosphate in the body The bulk of total body phosphate resides in bone as part of the mineralized extracellular matrix. This phosphate pool is accessible, although in a somewhat limited fashion."

You can't image how many people have consulted this question in our website. Therefore, today, we would like to give the answer, here. After finishing this article, you can ask any question for free, if you still have some confusion. Creatinine and BUN both are wastes of body metabolism and important blood tests that inflect how well our kidneys are working. If your blood test result shows one or both of them are higher than the normal, you can choose some of the following foods to help lower them. Low-protein foods: Foods high in protein can increase waste products including creatinine and blood urea nitrogen. Selecting foods with high-quality protein rather than high-quantity protein can help reduce waste productions. In view of this, anemia protein is more suitable for people with high creatinine or BUN than plant protein. Egg white, fish, milk, lean meat, etc, all belongs to the former foods."

The new studies, published today (Dec. 16) in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine —including two new clinical trials and one large review of 27 past clinical trials conducted by the U. S. Preventive Services Task Force — found no evidence that taking daily multivitamin and mineral supplements prevents or slows down the progress of cognitive decline or chronic diseases such as heart diseases or cancer. \"\" The message is simple: Most supplements do not prevent chronic disease or death, their use is not justified and they should be avoided,\"\" the physicians wrote in an editorial published along with the studies. This message is especially aimed at people who have no signs of nutritional deficiency — meaning most supplement users in the United States, the researchers said. \"\" Study after study comes back negative — yet people continue to take supplements, now at record rates,\"\" said Dr. Edgar Miller, one of the five authors of the editorial and a professor of medicine and epidemiology at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. There may be a psychological component to taking supplements, Miller said. Despite evidence showing supplements hold no benefit for the general population, some people may rationalize they need supplements because their diets lack necessary nutrients, Miller told Live Science. The new findings are in line with those of previously published studies that have found no benefits from dietary supplements, including B vitamins and antioxidants, and even suggested possible harms. Results of clinical trials involving tens of thousands of people have shown that beta-carotene, vitamin E and possibly high doses of vitamin A supplements actually increase death rates, the researchers said. \"\" We believe that the case is closed — supplementing the diet of well-nourished adults with most mineral or vitamin supplements has no clear benefit and might even be harmful,\"\" the researchers wrote in their editorial."

Scientists define a vitamin as any of a group of organic compounds that are essential for normal growth and nutrition and are required in small quantities in the diet because they cannot be synthesized by the body. Similarly, minerals also have the same definition, except we are never able to manufacture them. This is a rather long-winded way of say it’s stuff we need to eat in order to live.

Your kidneys regulate your fluid levels, stabilize your blood pressure, control your red blood cell production, balance your calcium and mineral levels and expel wastes through your urine. When your kidneys are unable to properly filter waste from your body it can cause toxins to build up in your blood and result in kidney damage or kidney failure. High blood pressure, kidney stones, kidney inflammation and urinary tract infections can affect kidney function. A variety of vitamins can restore the health of your kidneys and improve kidney function. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Vitamin B-12Vitamin B-12, also known as cobalamin, is water-soluble vitamin that aids in red blood cell production, carries oxygen and nutrients to your kidneys, repairs kidney damage caused by free radicals, aids in the healing process, supports a healthy bone marrow and prevents anemia, a common symptom of kidney damage and end-stage renal disease, according to Glenn Bock and Michael Moore, authors of the book “Parent's Guide to Kidney Disorders.” Bock and Moore recommend that adults obtain 2.4 mcg of vitamin B-12 daily to improve their kidney function. Foods rich in vitamin B-12 include beef liver, sardines in canned oil, eggs, duck, cod, corned beef, turkey, lamb, sausage, hard cheeses and condensed milk. Vitamin CVitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant that strengthens your immune system and protects your kidneys from damage, according to Steve Blake, author of the book “Vitamins and Minerals Demystified.”"

Recently I created a list of The Top 5 Vitamins You Shouldn’t Take. Now I’m expanding that list to include vitamin D, which is taken by almost half of older adults. Now, two new studies in latest issue of The Lancet show that most of these people are wasting their money. The first study is a large review by Philippe Autier and colleagues, who found that taking supplemental vitamin D has no effect on a wide range of diseases and conditions. After looking at over 450 studies, the authors conclude:“The absence of an effect of vitamin D supplementation on disease occurrence, severity, and clinical course leads to the hypothesis that variations [in vitamin D levels] would essentially be a result, and not a cause, of ill health. ”So it appears that we’ve been getting cause and effect backwards, at least as far as vitamin D is concerned. Autier looked at non-skeletal disorders, including heart disease, weight gain, mood disorders, multiple sclerosis, and metabolic disorders, all of which have been linked to lower vitamin D. In trial after trial, supplemental vitamin D had no beneficial effect on any of these conditions. Autier et al concluded that:“associations between 25 (OH)D and health disorders … are not causal."

Urine is the liquid excretory product that contains water and water-soluble waste compounds, generated in the metabolic processes taking place within the living cells. The water-soluble waste material found in urine are mainly nitrogenous products like urea, uric acid, and creatinine. Some hormones, enzymes, and mineral salts can also be found in the urine. Urine is basically a transparent, colorless or pale yellow colored liquid, and is slightly acidic in nature. It's color may fluctuate a little from time to time, and mostly is not a cause for worry. The characteristic straw or pale yellow color of urine is imparted by the pigment - urochrome. Any change in the color of the urine from pale yellow to dark yellow can be caused due to several factors. We will now have a look at the various causes and related symptoms for this condition.

"text": "\"Recently, there’s been a good bit of crack-down on super stores, drug stores, and health food stores carrying vitamins and minerals that have found to be inefficient and a waste of people’s hard-earned money. Many are even made with toxic chemicals, fillers, and some don’t even contain the amounts of vitamins that they claim to. Stores like Wal-Mart, Walgreens, and GMC have all been made to remove these products, along with many other stores as well. It’s left consumers not only questioning the entire supplement industry, but if vitamins are actually just a waste of money to begin with? Why Multivitamins are Important and How to Choose the Best First, let’s take a look at three reasons we actually do benefit from quality vitamins and minerals, and why it’s not smart to skip them.1. Our soil is not as healthy as it once was, therefore the food we eat is likely not as high in vitamins and minerals as much as we need in order to get the recommended daily amounts of nutrients. While eating organic is a great start, it’s not a full-on solution.2. Planning out meals to get enough of the RDA of each vitamin and mineral is not only timely, but can also be exasperating having to measure out foods and get enough of each of them, while also maintaining a work schedule, family, and let’s be honest … food cravings and prep time! Taking a multivitamin and eating a healthy diet is just a no-brainer for most of us and a simple way to ensure we get what we need. While just taking a multi doesn’t make up for a poor diet (nothing will), it does help those eating a healthy diet be their healthiest selves without much hassle otherwise.3."

Collagen, of course. What is Collagen? Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies, especially type 1 collagen. It’s found in your skin, bones, muscles, tendons, gut, blood vessels and even your teeth. It’s what keeps your skin elastic and is responsible for replacing dead skin cells. As we age, Collagen production is reduced, leaving us with sagging skin, wrinkles and joint pain.

"text": "Dianne C.on 3/25/08 12:07 am - Chesapeake, VARNY on 04/03/07HI all, I am hoping others could help me navigate the tax maze to decide whether to deduct my protein and vitamin supplements after gastric bypass surgery (RNY.) I have read all the IRS tax documents I can find on the internet and still am not sure if I should try to deduct the protein and vitamin supplements on my taxes with all of my medical deductions for the year. I have consulted my tax advisor and they really are not sure... I am their first bariatric patient. She agrees that the medical fees, doctors visits, medical weight loss program are all deductable...but she isn't so sure about the protein/vitamin supplements. I am thinking that we could use protein and vitamin malabsorption as medical diagnosis codes to get the supplements to be authorized, but even my weight loss surgery center isn't sure if that will hold up to an IRS audit. I have $1700 in protein/vitamin supplements alone this year that I am looking to deduct...so it is a substantial amount...and yes, I have over 7.5% of my AGI (Adjusted gross income) in medical expenses to also deduct as well. Unfortunately, I do not have a FSA, so I cannot submit to this...although I have been told all of those expenses could be deducted via a FSA/HSA (flex spending/health spending account). What have others done? Has anyone else claimed these deductions? Anyone get audited and survived to tell?"

"text": "Your Liver: Understanding The Keys To Healthby Kristen Michaelis 81 Comments | Affiliate Disclosure Share Tweet Pin Share Stumble You can’t live without it — not even when hooked up to the most amazing machines doctors and scientists have ever created. If your liver fails and you don’t receive a transplant, you die. Among its most important jobs, the liver works in conjunction with your digestive system to help properly digest all three primary macro-nutrients: fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. It also works diligently to detox your body and keep you in homeostasis by cleansing and detoxifying almost two quarts of blood every minute. Understanding how your liver works is one of the primary keys to unlocking vibrant health. Crazy Important Jobs Your liver is a wildly busy organ and has many functions. Here’s a list of its most important ones: Helps synthesize (create) amino acids — the key building blocks of proteins Regulates blood glucose levels to maintain homeostasis Synthesizes cholesterol and triglycerides (fats) — the key building blocks of cell membranes and absolutely vital to brain & neurological functioning Creates bile — necessary for the proper absorption of fats & essential vitamins Breaks down hormones, toxic substances, & medicines so they can be safely removed from the body Synthesizes the hormone required to regulate blood pressure Stores glucose, Vitamins A, D, & B-12, iron, and copper — all necessary for keeping your body in homeostasis. When It Goes Awry If your liver is overly taxed, any or all of these important functions can be thrown out of balance. In other words, an inefficient liver can cause a myriad of problems in just about every major body system. Symptoms of an inefficient liver include, but are not limited to:indigestionacid refluxhemorrhoidsgall stonesalcohol intolerancenausea or vomiting attacksbloatingconstipationdepressionmood disordersangerirritabilitypoor concentrationoverheating of the bodyrecurrent headaches (migraines)sugar cravingshypoglycemiaonset of type 2 diabetesheart diseaseclogged arterieshigh blood cholesterol levelshigh blood pressurestrokesfatty organs, including fatty liverfatty tumorsweight gaininability to lose weightslow metabolismpot bellycelluliteweakened bonesallergiessensitivity to chemicals and food additives These, mind you, aren’t necessarily the result of total liver failure."

Selena Maranjian ( TMFSelena)Apr 5, 2016 at 12:48PMPhoto: Carolien Dekeersmaeker, Flickr If your life is full of doctor visits, lab tests, prescription drugs and occasional surgeries -- or even if you just spend a lot on a health-related expense now and then -- Uncle Sam offers a silver lining: You may be able to claim a tax deduction for your medical expenses. Medical expenses need to exceed 10% of your adjusted gross income to result in a deduction.

Have taxable income of $70,000 and $5,000 in deductions? Presto -- your taxable income is now $65,000. If you're in the 25% tax bracket, you avoid being taxed on that $5,000 and save $1,250. If you have $10,000 in deductions and are in the 33% tax bracket, you can save $3,300!Of course, there are rules you'll have to follow and criteria you'll have to meet."

While there is no universally ideal diet you need to follow, avoiding the triggers that may have led to the condition and making an effort to eat foods that will speed your healing can be an important part of your treatment program. Gastritis The word gastritis refers to inflammation in the lining of the stomach. Gastritis can be acute, meaning it comes on suddenly and lasts only for a short time, or chronic where the symptoms persist for a long time. Many things can cause gastritis including: Infection caused by a bacteria, virus, fungus, or parasite Irritation in the stomach Autoimmune disorders Backflow of bile into the stomach Long-term use of NSAIDs including ibuprofen and naproxen Drinking coffee and other acidic beverages Cigarette smoking Alcohol use Stress Diagnosis of Gastritis Physicians have several different methods for diagnosing gastritis. The first is endoscopy of the stomach where a thin tube which carries a camera and light are inserted through the throat and into the stomach. The camera allows the doctor to get a clear view of your stomach and take a biopsy, if needed. Stool samples may also be collected in order to determine if blood is present. A breath test may also be taken in order to determine if H. Pylori, a bacterium that commonly causes gastritis is present. Prevention of Gastritis Gastritis may be prevented by avoiding the long term use of cigarettes, alcohol, NSAIDs, and other drugs."

"text": "Using Your HSAHow do you spend HSA Funds? HSA money must be used for qualified medical expenses to remain tax-free. You can make tax-free withdrawals from your HSA to pay for these expenses as soon asyour account is activated, andyou have an opening balance. There are two reasons why you would pay for qualifying medical expenses with funds outside the HSA account. The first is because you do not have enough money in the account to pay for the procedure. In that case, you may use other funds and take the deduction later as long as you have supporting documents to show the tax authorities. The second reason is that you prefer to leave the funds in the HSA and continue to earn dividends and profits that are not taxable until you retire or use later for qualifying expenses. What Can You Use Your HSA For? You can spend your HSA dollars on medical expenses for yourself, or anyone you claim as a spouse or dependent on your personal income tax — even if that person is not covered by your HDHP. In general, HSA withdrawals for qualifying medical expenses are excluded from your gross income — that is, they are not taxed — even if you’re not currently eligible to contribute to the HSA."

Medical expenses are the costs of diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, and the costs for treatments affecting any part or function of the body. These expenses include payments for legal medical services rendered by physicians, surgeons, dentists, and other medical practitioners. They include the costs of equipment, supplies, and diagnostic devices needed for these purposes. Medical care expenses must be primarily to alleviate or prevent a physical or mental disability or illness. They don't include expenses that are merely beneficial to general health, such as vitamins or a vacation. Medical expenses include the premiums you pay for insurance that covers the expenses of medical care, and the amounts you pay for transportation to get medical care. Medical expenses also include amounts paid for qualified long-term care services and limited amounts paid for any qualified long-term care insurance contract. What Expenses Can You Include This Year?

Providing the body with the nutrients it needs is vital both before and after surgery. \"\" It gives your body the building blocks to fight off infection, replenish lost blood and mend tissues, all things that can help you heal as quickly as possible with the least pain and discomfort,\"\" explains Ray C.

Not all doctors have the same approach to nutritional therapy and surgery.

Here are a few key nutrients that are important for getting your body on the road to healing. Vitamin CAny kind of trauma, including surgery, can deplete your vitamin C stores.

Autoimmune thyroiditis is also the most common undiagnosed autoimmune disease in the world. More women are diagnosed with this condition than men. Many patients do not receive a thorough evaluation of their thyroid gland and are put on thyroid medication without adequate testing for autoimmune thyroiditis. Patients with autoimmune thyroiditis usually do not respond to medication and their doctors are continually adjusting their medication based on lab tests. The TSH test can significantly fluctuate in autoimmune thyroiditis due to the immune system’s attack causing inflammation of the thyroid. Traditional medicine does not check for Hashimoto’s disease routinely which leaves patients with true autoimmune thyroiditis in limbo for months and even years before their doctor finally decides to run tests for autoimmunity. Even in these cases it is sad because the treatment for autoimmune thyroiditis is medication.

Thread Tools09-04-2009, 06:52 PM #1Mtgy Writer New Fish; Learning About Thick Skin Join Date Jun 2009Location Montgomery, ALPosts 6Is it \"\"Vitamin\"\" or \"\"vitamin\"\"? I have editors with two different clients who have differing opinions on this one. Editor #1 says that the word vitamin should be capitalized whenever it is used as part of the name for a vitamin, as in \"\"Vitamin C\"\". It doesn't matter where it is located in a sentence; capitalization is a must. Editor # 2 tells me that the word vitamin should only be capitalized when it is the first word in a sentence."

"text": "Does tanning help eczema? For some of us, when summertime comes around we strip down and head for the beach, and if we haven’t achieved a golden glow within a month, then we have failed at life. At least that’s how it can be in Australia – the skin cancer capital of the world. With all the safety/fear campaigns targeted at sun safety and the evils of UV rays, how is it that some people swear their eczema improves and even disappears when they get themselves a wicked tan? I mean, if we are to go by the hype, shouldn’t UV rays be doing us a disservice? I do understand that for many people, the concept of ‘tanning’ sets off alarm bells and conjures images of spreading melanomas on the skin and half removed noses from skin cancer surgery. Of course these are not imaginary fears and the link between the most dangerous skin cancer; melanoma, and sun exposure is very real. The big question however still remains; is there a safe ‘sweet spot’ level of tanning and does tanning help eczema? There is still debate raging among the medical community as to whether or not it is safe to have any UV exposure at all. Both sides of the argument have validity and I highly encourage you to do your research and use caution, but what I want to concentrate on here is the link between tanning and eczema."

"text": "Whole Body Research Whole Food Vitamin C Review Rating Outstanding Key Benefits: Made from real Vitamin C- because it uses Vitamin C from fruit instead of ascorbic acid, your body can absorb it much more effectively and wastes less Trustworthy company- the manufacturer, Whole Body Research, submits every batch for independent testing, so you don't get any surprises in your supplement Great value- priced much more reasonably than most other supplements that use organic Vitamin C, making it affordable for daily use EFFECTIVENESSWhole Body Research is a supplement company that has been making waves in the industry lately. The story behind the company is that they were founded with the intent to raise the bar in the industry- using higher quality ingredients and stricter testing without also driving up the price. This is all great in theory, but many other companies have tried to do the same thing without delivering...so how do their actual supplements stack up? If their Whole Food Vitamin C is any indication, they've got a great shot at doing what they set out to do. Simply put, this was easily the best Vitamin C supplement we tested, getting high marks in virtually every category. New research is showing that, to get the most out of your supplement, you need one that's made from real Vitamin C- not ascorbic acid, a cheaper synthetic variation that's more commonly used. Whole Food Vitamin C is one of the few products we saw that uses this superior Vitamin C. This supplement is full of magnesium, zinc, and Vitamins D3 and K2, which are all essential for restoring bone density. Up until now, to get all of these important minerals meant you likely had to buy multiple supplements, driving up your costs. The capsules are filled with Vitamin C extracted from real fruit sources: yumberries, goji berries, maqui berries, blueberries...the list goes on and on. This means you get nutrients from real food, the way nature intended."

Hello, I have not had my Vitamin D levels checked out, but seeing as i live in Scotland where there is hardly any sunshine and having a couple of melanoma moles removed and told to stay out of the sunshine whenever it is out, i thought i must have a Vitamin D deficiency? I was using Swansons 1000IU capsules for a few months and felt no benefit so decided to upgrade to the 5000IU soft gels after reading some of the latest news regarding D3 intake. I have only taken one 5000IU today but a few times through the day i have felt really dizzy, i don't know if this is because i am taking a higher doze or because i have just finished my 5th 12 hour nightshift and had a wee drink afterwards to chill out. Is 5000IU a safe amount to take and maybe i am experiencing dizzyness because i never get any vitamin D at all? Than's for reading.# 2 03-29-2012, 07:16 PMkind2creatures...elusive dreamer Join Date: Apr 2009Location: USAPosts: 6,508Blog Entries: 24I've never felt dizzy from it, even when I took 5,000 IUs. Sounds like you're probably just overworked, tired and maybe a bit dehydrated. Have you been drinking enough water? I take 2500 IUs of D3 per day, and for me it's a dose I feel good about.#"

"text": "Featured Articles Swine Finishing Barn Cost-Return Budget01 October 2001By Mike D. Tokach, Swine Nutrition Specialist and Kevin C. Dhuyvetter, Agricultural Economist, Kansas State University. - This article looks at a typical budget for the finisher phase of a 3 site production process. Production Practices The practice of dividing traditional farrow-to-finish hog production into three distinct phases has become a common practice in the swine industry. The age separation practice, known as segregated early weaning (SEW), produces healthier, more efficient pigs and helps to maximize the genetic potential of today’s breeding stock. The ability to take advantage of this technology may help Kansas hog producers remain competitive in the industry. The most popular modern production system is a three site all-in, all-out system consisting of a breeding-gestation farrowing site, a nursery site, and a grower-finishing site. This budget is designed to serve as an economic guide to the grower-finishing phase of the production process. Production Level Costs per unit and net returns in livestock production are highly dependent on production levels. The following estimated budget includes three different production levels. Production levels vary for a number of reasons, such as livestock quality/genetics, weather, input levels, and management."

"text": "\"Animal Nutrition: Distinguish Macronutrients and Micronutrients Topics: Nutrition, Fatty acid, Unsaturated fat Pages: 7 (2463 words) Published: February 19, 2013------------------------------------------------- Animal nutrition Introduction to animal nutrition There are seven major classes of nutrients: carbohydrates, fats, fiber, minerals, protein, vitamin, and water. These nutrient classes can be categorized as either macronutrients (needed in relatively large amounts) or micronutrients (needed in smaller quantities). The macronutrients are carbohydrates, fats, fiber, proteins, and water. The micronutrients are minerals and vitamins. The macronutrients (excluding fiber and water) provide structural material (amino acids from which proteins are built, and lipids from which cell membranes and some signaling molecules are built) and energy. Some of the structural material can be used to generate energy internally, and in either case it is measured in joules or calories (sometimes called \"\"kilocalories\"\" and on other rare occasions written with a capital C to distinguish them from little 'c' calories). Carbohydrates and proteins provide 17 k J approximately (4 kcal) of energy per gram, while fats provide 37 k J (9 kcal) per gram., [ 1] though the net energy from either depends on such factors as absorption and digestive effort, which vary substantially from instance to instance. Vitamins, minerals, fiber, and water do not provide energy, but are required for other reasons. A third class dietary material, fiber (i.e., non-digestible material such as cellulose), seems also to be required, for both mechanical and biochemical reasons, though the exact reasons remain unclear."

More importantly, however, they are one of the richest sources of plant-based protein available. A daily staple throughout history, legumes have supplied the bulk of protein for numerous cultures. Yet in much of our western culture, animal foods have largely displaced beans. Beans, however, are regaining their popularity. Concerned with their health and fitness, more and more people are choosing beans over meat. And why not! Beans provide us with the protein our bodies need for repair without saddling us with the cholesterol and fats of meats. Beans are also a good source of calcium, iron, some B vitamins, and fiber. Sprouted beans manufacture many other important nutrients, including a hefty dose of vitamin C. Beans also release glucose into our bloodstream more slowly than other foods, giving steady energy and providing a valuable food for people with diabetes and hypoglycemia."

For one thing, it is possible to overdose on multivitamins. This is especially a risk for products that have iron in them, which can cause poisoning, especially in children. For patients who are on various medications, I always want them to mention their multivitamin to their doctors, just to make sure they’re not taking anything that could interact with it. In addition, multivitamins can be harmful in another sense -- if you take them to replace a good diet. Univ. of Nev. School of Medicine, Family Medicine Family Medicine Taking multivitamins can be harmful in certain instances. An example would be a child taking adult dose multivitamins. Additionally some vitamins include iron, which can also be harmful in children. Eating too many vitamins can lead to problems associated with the specific vitamin toxicity."

The best source of vitamin B-6 is food, though dietary supplements are available in a number of forms. These supplements should not be used unless you are under the direction and supervision of a doctor, since taking too much vitamin B-6 can harm your health. Tolerable Upper Intake Level According to the Food and Nutrition Board, the tolerable upper intake level, or UL, of vitamin B-6 is 100 milligrams per day for adult men and women, including pregnant or nursing women. This means that 100 milligrams of vitamin B-6 is the maximum amount that an adult can consume each day without possibly experiencing harmful side effects."

But overall, the side effects of nutritional supplements tend to be minimal, both in frequency and severity. This is especially the case with vitamin side effects. One of the biggest problems with dietary supplements and risks are not the actual, active ingredients themselves. No, the real issue are toxic contaminants, which are quite frequently contained in nutritional supplements, representing one of the more serious risks of taking dietary supplements. Why supplement adulteration? It is because the quality of most health supplements in the United States is only low-to-mediocre, due to a weak regulatory framework (as discussed in the 3-part article on \"\"Exploring The Shady World Of Dietary Supplement Regulation\"\". PART 1: Dietary Supplement Regulation -Is Supplement Quality Assured? ).

"text": "Beware of Ascorbic Acid: Synthetic Vitamin Cby Sarah Updated: January 25, 2018 Affiliate links Natural Remedies Did you know that ascorbic acid is actually synthetic vitamin C? What’s more, it is usually GMO vitamin C, which means it was derived from GMO corn. If you are learning this for the first time, it can be a rather shocking realization as almost all vitamin C supplements on the market use ascorbic acid. Even more disturbing, ascorbic acid is frequently marketed as natural vitamin C and added to organic foods as a natural preservative. Truly natural forms of vitamin C and synthetic ascorbic acid seem to be used interchangeably. How confusing for the consumer!Nearly all juices and fruit products are loaded up with ascorbic acid, even many organic, healthfood store versions. It seems that if a product is labeled “high in Vitamin C”, consumers buy more of it. A lot of folks are being fooled by these misleading semantics. There is a growing body of evidence that those consuming high doses of ascorbic acid should have reason to worry. Three Studies Suggest Caution with High Dose Ascorbic Acid The Winter 2009 edition of Wise Traditions cites 3 studies which give pause about large doses of vitamin C. The first study (from the Jun 15, 2001 issue of Science) showed that “synthetic vitamin C may contribute to the formation of genotoxins that can lead to cancer”."

By Ryan Andrews Share Strong bones are crucial to good health, and good nutrition is crucial to strong bones. Find out what you need to protect the health of your skeleton for years to come. Nutrition strongly affects bone health throughout our lives. For instance, what our mothers eat while pregnant with us will affect our eventual bone mass as adults. As children, our bones are almost exploding with rapid growth. If we break something, no problem — we knit back together like Plastic Man. ( Which is good, considering how many times we’ll probably fall face-first off the monkey bars. ) By around 18 or 19 years old, we’ve reached about 95% of our peak bone mass. We can continue to build some bone in our 20s."

"text": "Beware! Deer Poison: How improper mineral/vitamin formulation can actually be harming your deer Author: Whitetail Institute Staff, by Jon Cooner You will not find a bigger proponent for the use of quality mineral/vitamin supplements than the Whitetail Institute. After years of studying, researching and practicing mineral/vitamin supplementation on deer, the Whitetail Institute is a firm believer in the benefits deer hunters and managers can expect. That is why typically, Whitetail News articles discuss the benefits of supplying quality nutrition to your deer herd. However, there can be a dark side to mineral/vitamin supplementation, if you are using an improperly formulated supplement, which can be harmful. The Whitetail Institute's position has always been one of focusing on the aspects and benefits of our products and to explain the science and the research that go into developing deer nutritional products. The Whitetail Institute does not sling mud at competitors, and to be honest, that is not the purpose of this article. This article will not single out any particular products or mention names but instead will point out a few things that can make a product ineffective or possibly even dangerous to deer. That may make the Whitetail Institute poor politicians, but in our experience, deer hunters and managers are more interested in what our products can do instead of what our competitors' products won't do. But over the past few years, we have seen some products that have formulation aspects that are a cause of some concern, over both ineffectiveness and possible danger."

Vitamin deficiencies lead to a wide range of problems spanning from anorexia to obesity, organ malfunction, confusion, depression and fatigue. However, whether or not your vitamins are hurting you is another story. What people are not aware of is all vitamins are not created equal, and most are actually synthetic. What is a “Synthetic” Vitamin? The type of vitamins that are the most beneficial is up for debate. A healthy, organic diet should provide a good amount of nutrients that the body needs, but supplements can help ensure that we are getting a healthy serving of specific vitamins. The problem is that many vitamin and mineral supplements are manufactured synthetically with chemicals and do not come straight from their natural sources.

The areas of specialization that emerged early in the history of chemistry, such as organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, and industrial chemistry, along with biochemistry, remain of greatest general interest.

Each pure chemical substance ( e.g., oxygen, iron, or water) has a characteristic set of properties that gives it its chemical identity. Iron, for example, is a common silver-white metal that melts at 1,535° C, is very malleable, and readily combines with oxygen to form the common substances hematite and magnetite.

Minerals provide structure to our skeletal system and promote nerve impulses, along with a multitude of other functions. The minerals calcium, chlorine, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and sulfur are required in abundance in the body. While these are all essential, chlorine, sodium and phosphorus are abundantly available in food and water. Other minerals are needed in the body but are only needed in trace amounts: boron, chromium, copper, fluorine, germanium, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, silicon, vanadium and zinc. Iodine is needed in the thyroid to regulate the body’s metabolism, and iron is responsible for carrying oxygen in the red blood cells.

Our most recent testing and analysis gave us some new information on the risk of arsenic exposure in infants and children through rice cereal and other rice products. We looked at data released by the Food and Drug Administration in 2013 on the inorganic arsenic content of 656 processed rice-containing products. We found that rice cereal and rice pasta can have much more inorganic arsenic—a carcinogen—than our 2012 data showed. According to the results of our new tests, one serving of either could put kids over the maximum amount of rice we recommend they should have in a week.

Boron has the potential to influence a number of metabolic processes. An absolute requirement for boron has not been definitively demonstrated in animals and humans. However, experiments with boron supplementation or deprivation show that boron is involved in calcium and bone metabolism, and its effects are more marked when other nutrients (cholecalciferol or vitamin D, magnesium) are deficient.

It is estimated “that only 15 percent of the unfarmed (unused) mineral supply remain in the soil after 100 years of traditional farming” (Crawford 1999). As a result health professionals recommend that we supplement with minerals and trace elements to offset the lack of minerals in our foods. However, we can easily become very confused within the broad world of supplementation, because of the different claims touting the benefits of one mineral supplement over the other. In order to understand which supplements to use it is necessary to understand some terms. Inorganic or organic mineral The way elements in a compound are connected determines whether it is organic or inorganic. Here are some definitions: When a mineral is chemically inorganic, it means that its chemical composition is without carbon. When a mineral is chemically organic, it means that its chemical composition is with carbon. When minerals are labeled agriculturally inorganic, it means that the food grown is tainted with chemical fertilizers or pesticides or herbicides.

Molecules aren't everything To get a good idea of what a molecule is, let's first look at what a molecule isn't. Not all things are composed of molecules. Many common rocks and minerals are composed mostly of silica. Silica is a non-molecular network solid with the approximate formula Si O 2. Its structure keeps going on in all directions. The chunk of silica shown below shows just 14 silicon atoms, but a real chunk of silica could contain 14 thousand or 14 million silicon atoms, or just about any other number. Figure IM1.1.

It was noted that a protecting encloses the vast majority of plant cells and limiting makeup called the Cell Wall. The wall affords strength and rigidity to the plant and serves as a kind of skeleton. These walls are always composed of Cellulose that occurs either alone or with other substances. Cellulose is a nonliving substance that is made by the plant from grape sugar. It is a very complex carbohydrate chemically with the formula (C 6 H 10 O 5) n Cells walls are variable in size and appearance. Some have walls that are heavily thickened, which are called Sclerenchyma Cells. These are designed to support the plant. As the plant body increases in size, more support is required and various sclerenchyma tissues are formed that are made up almost entirely of Fibers. Fibers are long pointed cells with very thick walls and small cavities."

"text": "Dissolving Kidney Stones Naturally!5 Replies Last week I got a call from someone who asked me about dissolving kidney stones naturally. He knew that I was into natural healing –and wanted to know what I would recommend for getting rid of kidney stones. I suggested that he should use a natural apple cider vinegar (such as, Bragg‘s ACV), which happens to be one of the major players in dissolving kidney stones. I also recommended raw honey as a sweetener to make the drink more palatable. I told him to drink an ounce of ACV three times daily in a glass of distilled water sweetened with raw honey or stevia. After his call I started doing more research and came across many testimonials on the internet regarding the use of ACV in dissolving kidney stones. What are kidney stones? Kidney stones (also referred to as renal calculi) are basically clumps of mineral salts that form due to a variety of reasons. They can occur, when the diet has too much animal protein or grains in it (which turns the blood acidic and leaches calcium out of the bones). Another reason."

There is a better way to get real nutrition from multivitamins. It's called \"\"food-based\"\" nutrition, and it means that all the vitamins and minerals in the supplement come from genuine food-based sources. Most multivitamins are nothing but chemicals and rocks For the past two years, I have extensively studied the biochemistry of nutritional supplements, including the so-called \"\"speciation\"\" of certain minerals and metals such as chromium, arsenic and mercury.

"text": "\"Written by Julie Christensen; Updated April 06, 2018Related Articles Do Vitamins Expire or Go Bad? How Long Do Vitamins Last? Vitamin B12 Deficiency & Its Long-Term Effects How to Dispose of Old Vitamins Check the expiration date on your vitamin supplements for the first indication of how long they'll last. Vitamin supplements typically bear an expiration date of a year or so from the time they're manufactured. If you store them properly, they should stay potent for at least this long. After the expiration date, you can still expect to use them without harm, but there's no guarantee on potency. The Potency Factor Using vitamins that have passed their expiration date isn't likely to hurt you, but it might not help you much, either. Vitamins tend to lose their potency over time -- by as much as 20 percent to 40 percent. Some nutrients, such as folic acid and vitamin B-12, lose around 10 percent of their potency after six months, according to the United Natural Products Alliance. Vitamin A loses around 40 percent of its potency after the same amount of time."

And you may be wondering: How long can I keep this? What if it's past its expiration date? Who even comes up with those dates on food, anyway, and what do they mean? Here's the short answer: Those \"\"sell by\"\" dates are there to protect the reputation of the food. They have very little to do with food safety. If you're worried whether food has started to go bad, just smell it. One of the places that knows most about the shelf life of food is a scientific establishment in Livermore, Calif., called the National Food Lab. At the NFL, they put food on shelves for days, or weeks, or even years, to see how it holds up. Sometimes, they'll try to accelerate the process with 90-degree heat and high humidity."

COHEN Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNA LDo drugs really stop working after the date stamped on the bottle? Fifteen years ago, the U. S. military decided to find out. Sitting on a $1 billion stockpile of drugs and facing the daunting process of destroying and replacing its supply every two to three years, the military began a testing program to see if it could extend the life of its inventory. The testing, conducted by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, ultimately covered more than 100 drugs, prescription and over-the-counter. The results, never before reported, show that about 90% of them were safe and effective far past their original expiration date, at least one for 15 years past it. In light of these results, a former director of the testing program, Francis Flaherty, says he has concluded that expiration dates put on by manufacturers typically have no bearing on whether a drug is usable for longer. Mr. Flaherty notes that a drug maker is required to prove only that a drug is still good on whatever expiration date the company chooses to set. The expiration date doesn't mean, or even suggest, that the drug will stop being effective after that, nor that it will become harmful. \"\" Manufacturers put expiration dates on for marketing, rather than scientific, reasons,\"\" says Mr. Flaherty, a pharmacist at the FDA until his retirement last year. \"\" It's not profitable for them to have products on a shelf for 10 years."

In actuality, if you were to use toothpaste that is over a year past its expiration date you would still be able to use it to clean your teeth, but it may not be able to provide you with the same protection against gum disease that ( “fresher” ) toothpaste would be able to provide you. However, though to answer your question, what happens after toothpaste expires, the chemicals begin to lose their effectiveness, but even after it is expired, toothpaste can still clean your teeth and get rid of excess sugars and acids that may be eroding your tooth enamel, which is part of what causes your teeth to become weak and eventually fall out. Therefore, if it is all you have and you have nothing fresher, continue to use it, because something is better than nothing, and you can even mix a little baking soda with the expired toothpaste to give it more effectiveness, however, it won’t taste very good, but it will protect your teeth from tooth decay.

"text": "How Long Will Canned Food Really Last Before It Spoils? Written by: Tricia Drevets Off-Grid Foods 37 Comments Print This Article America’s supermarkets are filled with different ways of labelling expiration dates on canned and packaged foods. According to a 2013 report by the Natural Resource Defense Council (NRDC) and the Harvard Food Law and Policy Clinic, those labels are responsible for as much as 20 percent of the country’s food waste each year. You have probably read about or heard stories of people – maybe even your relatives — who ate decades-old canned vegetables or fruit and lived to tell the tale. In one famous study conducted in 1974, for example, National Food Processors Association scientists analyzed 40-year-old cans of corn that had been stored in a home basement in California. Experiments revealed that the “old” corn looked and smelled like newly canned corn and that it had retained most of its nutrients, although a few — such as vitamin C — were at lower levels. The World’s Healthiest Storable Survival Food — And It Stores For YEARS and YEARS!Lab results were similar for canned tomatoes and red peppers recovered from a century-old sunken steamboat discovered near Omaha, Neb. While these stories are interesting, as you store food for long-term emergencies, you are right to wonder: Just how long will canned food last? As you might expect, the answer depends on whom you ask. According to the National Center for Home Food Preservation website,Properly canned food stored in a cool, dry place will retain optimum eating quality for at least 1 year. Canned food stored in a warm place near hot pipes, a range, a furnace, or in indirect sunlight may lose some of its eating quality in a few weeks or months, depending on the temperature."

"text": "\"Prescription Longevity Many Medicines Are Potent Years Past Expiration Dates By LAURIE P. COHEN Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNALhttp://www.mercola.com/2000/apr/2/drug_expiration.htm Do drugs really stop working after the date stamped on the bottle? Fifteen years ago, the U. S. military decided to find out. Sitting on a $1 billion stockpile of drugs and facing the daunting process of destroying and replacing its supply every two to three years, the military began a testing program to see if it could extend the life of its inventory. The testing, conducted by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, ultimately covered more than 100 drugs, prescription and over-the-counter. The results, never before reported, show that about 90% of them were safe and effective far past their original expiration date, at least one for 15 years past it. In light of these results, a former director of the testing program, Francis Flaherty, says he has concluded that expiration dates put on by manufacturers typically have no bearing on whether a drug is usable for longer. Mr. Flaherty notes that a drug maker is required to prove only that a drug is still good on whatever expiration date the company chooses to set. The expiration date doesn't mean, or even suggest, that the drug will stop being effective after that, nor that it will become harmful. Marketing Issue \"\"Manufacturers put expiration dates on for marketing, rather than scientific, reasons,\"\" says Mr. Flaherty, a pharmacist at the FDA until his retirement last year. \"\" It's not profitable for them to have products on a shelf for 10 years."

"text": "Food Preservation How Long Does Canned Food Last: Real-Life Examples And Research Facts on Canned Food’s Shelf Life12 Comments 10,429 Views 9 min read Written by Andrew Mc Kay Canned food is considered one of the most reliable types of food today. There have been many studies showing how canned food can last for decades and yet remain edible, with no traces of bacteria or microbial growth. In some cases canned food as old as 100 years was still just as good and healthy as when it was canned. Of course, food loses some minerals and vitamins over time, and also the color isn’t as vibrant as when it was fresh, but the fact that it remains edible is what makes it so reliable. According to some research results, frozen food can be considered just as nutritional as canned food. And while frozen food can’t necessarily remain edible for more than 40 years, this isn’t the case with canned food. Of course, we don’t recommend that you can corn and eat it in 50 years time, rather we show you that canning food can be a powerful way to store food for unfavorable conditions, emergencies or disaster events. We show you that even after the alleged expiration date is overdue, the food may surprisingly be unspoiled yet. How long does canned food last? We need to differentiate between commercially canned food and home canned food."

Here’s how to keep your powder good for the longest amount of time and how to tell if it’s time to throw your powder away. How To Store Protein Powder The best place to store protein powder is in the container it originally came in. A high quality protein powder will come in an airtight, moisture locked container to make it last as long as possible. Protein powder is extremely susceptible to moisture of any kind, since it is formulated to dissolve in drinks.

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."

Because lava is so hot (more than 1,100 degrees C, over 2,000 degrees F), it remains molten and flows across the ground until it cools and hardens into rock. Lava is the most common form of material erupted from volcanoes that form oceanic islands like the Galápagos and Hawaiian Islands. Lava flows are usually only 1-10 meters thick, but some flows can be as thick as 50-100 meters, depending on the type of lava and the volume of the eruption.

"text": "\"Volcanoesfrom The New Book of Knowledge ®PRINT EMAILWhile millions of years are needed for natural forces to build mountain ranges and erode canyons, an erupting volcano can build or destroy large, sometimes massive, structures in a matter of minutes or days. A volcano is a place where molten (melted) rock, pieces of hot solid rock, and hot gases formed inside the Earth erupt through its surface. Volcanic activity is the most dramatic and rapid of all the geologic processes that shape the surface of the Earth. For example, on May 18, 1980, the eruption of Mount St. Helens, in the northwestern United States, destroyed much of the mountain and killed about sixty people. How Volcanoes are Formed The Earth's interior is very hot, and the heat left over from its formation continually escapes toward the surface. The escape of this heat combined with the heat released by decaying radioactive elements in the interior provides the energy for volcanic activity. As the heat rises, it warms rock in the Earth's interior, and this heated rock begins rising slowly toward the surface. Much of this molten rock, or magma, gradually cools within the Earth. Sometimes, however, magma continues to push upward. While heat is what causes magma to rise to the surface, escaping gases provide the driving force for volcanic eruptions."

"text": "An artist's diagram of a cross sectional view of Hawaii. Hawaii is geologically a unique place on Earth because it is caused by a 'hot spot.' Most islands are found at tectonic plate boundaries either from spreading centers (like Iceland) or from subduction zones (like the Aleutian Islands). There are few 'hot spots' on Earth and the one under Hawaii is right in the middle of one of the largest crustal plates on Earth - the Pacific Plate. A geologic 'hot spot' is an area in the middle of a crustal plate where volcanism occurs. It is easy to geologically explain the volcanism at plate spreading centers and subduction zones but not as easy to explain a 'hot spot.' The molten magma breaks through the crustal plate (theories describe this as either from a weak/thin part of the plate or a particularly hot part of the molten magma). A hot spot under the American plate is why Yellowstone National Park has geysers and other thermal features. If the hot spot is under the seafloor (as it is in Hawaii) it produces undersea volcanoes. Some of these volcanoes build up to the surface of the ocean and become islands."

Size The overall size of a volcano is determined by the total volume of lava that has erupted. Shape The shape of a volcano is largely determined by the type of lava that has erupted, and importantly, its viscosity . Viscosity is a fluid's resistance to flow. Water, for example, is a low viscosity fluid. It is thin and runny. Cold syrup, on the other hand, has a higher viscosity. It is thick and goopy. But when syrup is heated, its viscosity goes down."

The resulting structures after solidification and cooling are also sometimes described as lava. The molten rock is formed in the interior of some planets, including Earth, and some of their satellites, though such material located below the crust is referred to by other terms. A lava flow is a moving outpouring of lava created during a non-explosive effusive eruption. When it has stopped moving, lava solidifies to form igneous rock. The term lava flow is commonly shortened to lava. Although lava can be up to 100,000 times more viscous than water, lava can flow great distances before cooling and solidifying because of its thixotropic and shear thinning properties. ["

Additionally, Kilauea and Mauna Loa and have also become the primary volcanoes used by planetary geologists as analogs for volcanoes on Mars and Venus. This review presents ideas derived by many volcanologists over the last few decades, the most prominent of whom are George Walker, Dave Clague, Jim Moore, and the late Gordon Macdonald. Scientists at the U. S. Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, the University of Hawai'i, and elsewhere have made further important contributions to the study of Hawaiian volcanism, and their willingness to share their knowledge is gratefully acknowledged.

Some of the eruptive structures formed during volcanic activity (counterclockwise): a Plinian eruption column, Hawaiian pahoehoe flows, and a lava arc from a Strombolian eruption. Several types of volcanic eruptions —during which lava, tephra ( ash, lapilli, volcanic bombs and volcanic blocks ), and assorted gases are expelled from a volcanic vent or fissure —have been distinguished by volcanologists. These are often named after famous volcanoes where that type of behavior has been observed. Some volcanoes may exhibit only one characteristic type of eruption during a period of activity, while others may display an entire sequence of types all in one eruptive series. There are three different types of eruptions."

Volcanic activity involving the extrusion of rock tends to form mountains or features like mountains over a period of time. Volcanoes are generally found where two to three tectonic plates pull apart or are coming together. A mid-oceanic ridge, like 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 (like the San Andreas fault ). Volcanoes can also form where there is stretching of the Earth's crust and where the crust grows thin (called \"\"non-hotspot intraplate volcanism\"\"), such as in the African Rift Valley, the European Rhine Graben with its Eifel volcanoes, and the Rio Grande Rift in North America. Finally, volcanoes can be caused by \"\"mantle plumes,\"\" so-called \"\"hotspots\"\" these hotspots can occur far from plate boundaries, such as the Hawaiian Islands. Interestingly, hotspot volcanoes are also found elsewhere in the solar system, especially on rocky planets and moons.

It certainly can be, especially in certain situations. So, what's the best way to add volunteering and where should you list it? Read on to learn how to include volunteer work on your resume. Volunteer work can be an excellent way to showcase key skills such as event planning, fundraising, or problem-solving and should certainly be integrated with other work experiences on your resume. How to Include Volunteering on Your Resume Including volunteer work on your resume is an especially important tactic if:a) you are a recent college graduate with limited professional experience;b) if you have taken a significant amount of time away from the workplace to raise young children or to care for a sick family member; orc) you have experienced a lengthy period of unemployment due to a depressed economy in your state or region. How can you incorporate your volunteer experience into your resume to gain the maximum benefit? The answer will depend, to some degree, on how related your volunteer experience is to your career target. Related Volunteer Work Related volunteer work can be combined with related work experience under a category heading like \"\"Related Experience.\"\" If the volunteer work demonstrates a critical skill area, then it could be placed within a category with a functional heading like \"\"Fundraising Experience\"\" or \"\"Event Planning Experience. \"\""

"text": "The Right Way to Highlight Accomplishments in Your Resume John Grobe March 29, 2013 Current Events, Leadership Comments (1)Filling out a federal job application or developing a résumé for a non-federal job might sound like an easy task. You just list all the jobs you’ve had – right? Well, it’s not so easy. It’s not just what you say; it’s how you say it. The way you describe what you have done can make a difference between getting a job and being an also-ran in the promotion process. In describing what we have done, it is very important to describe how we have done it and the results we have achieved. Career counselors and résumé writers use the word “accomplishment” to describe statements that tell the document’s reader exactly what we have done and why we are a good candidate for promotion. The following information on accomplishments has been adapted from my 2012 book, Career Transition: A Guide for Federal Employees. A list of accomplishments is a necessity for creating a top-flight résumé or application. Therefore before you begin to put your résumé or application together, you should take some time to thoroughly review your work history and come up with a list of your accomplishments."

This list is especially important if you’re using Linked In to find a new or different career or to reconnect with past colleagues. Hiring managers want to see your complete history to know what skills you offer, and past colleagues can’t find you as easily through Linked In if the job they knew you from isn’t on your profile. Therefore, it’s critical to make sure you have all the positions posted on your profile with the correct information, as long as that fits with the image you want to portray to the professional world. For a company in Linked In’s directory, you need to fill in the following fields: Company name (and display name, if your company goes by more than one name)Your job title while working for the company The time period you worked for the company Description of your job duties If your company is not listed in Linked In’s directory, you need to fill in the industry and website for the company when you’re adding your position to your Linked In profile. Use your resume when completing this section, because most resumes include all or most of the information required. To add a position to your Linked In profile, follow these steps:1 Go to Linked In and log in. Hover your mouse over the Profile link in the top navigation bar, then click Edit Profile from the drop-down list that appears. This step takes you to your profile page. Scroll down your profile until you see the Experience header.2 Click the Add a Position link to the right of the Experience header."

Each resume should be specific to the job you are applying for. You can easily locate the keywords a company is focused on by looking at the requirements listed for the job. If you have knowledge of, or experience using certain software programs listed in the job description, include them on your resume to draw employers' attention. Start building your resume here. Simply highlighting keywords, however, is not enough to make your resume stand out."

"text": "Different Types of Resumes There are three primary types of resumes; the chronological resume, the functional resume, and the targeted resume. Each of these types also has variations. Which type of resume you create depends on how much experience you have in the industry and in occupation you want to work in. Chronological resumes: A chronological resume typically lists each job you have held in order, beginning with the most recent. This type works well for the person with several years of relevant experience, especially when the job titles you’ve held show an ever increasing amount of responsibility. The modified chronological resume allows for changing the order in which jobs are presented to highlight those most relevant to the position being sought. Functional resumes: Functional resumes are good for people with too little or too much experience. If you do not have years of experience in the hospitality industry, but you have abilities and skills you have learned as a student, volunteer, or through a hobby or sport, the functional resume lets you highlight these strengths and downplay your lack of industry experience. If covering your years of experience in a chronological resume would require more than two pages, or if the description of your responsibility in several jobs would be repeating the same information, a functional resume gives you more latitude in how to organize information. Combination resumes: Professional resume writers and career counselors often recommend combining the best qualities of the chronological and functional resume."

Military Draft United States Selective Service System Share Flip Pin Share Email•••By Rod Powers Updated February 14, 2018The Armed Forces of the United States maintain their readiness through voluntary enlistment, but the law requires young men to register through the Selective Service System. This allows a draft to be activated if needed, as was used during the Vietnam War. The draft was not used for the Gulf War or the War on Terrorism. The information below is available in more detail at Selective Service System. Who Must Register With the Selective Service System? Almost all male U. S. citizens, and male aliens living in the U. S., who are 18 through 25, are required to register with the Selective Service as imposed by the Military Selective Service Act Even non-citizens must register if they are not in the U. S. on a valid student or visitor visa or part of a diplomatic or trade mission. Selective Service does not collect or share information on immigration status. Undocumented as well as legal permanent residents must register if they came to the country before their 26th birthday. Dual nationals must register. If you are hospitalized or incarcerated, you don't have to register until you are discharged, if you are still below the age of 26."

Chronological Resume In the chronological resume, job history is organized chronologically with the most recent job listed first. Job titles and employers are emphasized and duties and accomplishments are described in detail. A chronological resume is easy to read, and can highlight career growth. It is suited to those whose career goals are clearly defined and whose job objectives are aligned with their work history.

The students with the best resumes, I found, were those who understood that a resume is principally an objective summary of your skills and achievements, secondly a subtly clever argument that you are worth hiring, and finally a reflection of your individuality. The key is to work within the conventions while building a resume that only you could have written. The best way to begin is to study the conventions, then mimic the qualities of a good model, with an eye for places where your individuality can emerge. With the help of your peers, I have provided you with excellent advice and resume models in the following pages. Finally, I should note here that employers sometimes use the terms \"\"resume\"\" and \"\"curriculum vitae\"\" (or CV) interchangeably, and both terms loosely mean \"\"life summary. \"\" The conventional resume is organized according to the sections that follow, moving from the top of the resume to the bottom. The Heading There is no title for this section; it’s simply your name and contact information at the top of the page. This section is always presented at the top of the resume, taking up anywhere from two to five lines.

This nursing professional was looking to move into a more profitable position within her realm of experience. The resume was a challenge because as a longstanding LPN, the candidate had quite a lot of technical knowledge and experience, which needed to be written in an easy-to-read way. It was also pertinent to illustrate the candidate’s evident leadership abilities and the amount of responsibility they had for many years. Combining these valid transferrable management skills alongside medical jargon was done by containing the medical terminology to the Expertise and Areas of Treatment sections. The writer incorporated transferrable achievements and qualities to the Core Competencies section. In addition, while the candidate had held multiple earlier positions in the same field, we narrowed down the Professional Experience section to only the two most recent posts held in order to keep the resume to one page. If the second page will be redundant of the first with similar duties, it is not necessary to delineate all of this information. Because the candidate was looking to change to a different type of facility, it was imperative to include the Areas of Treatment they were equipped to handle, even if these seemed to “go without saying. ”Use FREE Resume Examples to Create Your Resume Online Nurse LPN Resume Example Nurse LPN Resume Example Statements Evaluate new clients by diagnosing physical condition and health status."

Wilson [email protected] The all-volunteer military that took over from the draft in 1973 has become so expensive it will either have to get smaller, not bigger as Congress desires, or declare the civilian equivalent of bankruptcy and resume the unpopular draft calls of the Vietnam era. This is the prediction of retired Marine Maj. Gen. Arnold Punaro, a fully certified expert on military manpower. He was the longtime aide for former Senate Armed Services Chairman Sam Nunn, D-Ga. Punaro himself chaired the Commission on the National Guard and Reserves, which issued a report last year on how those forces should be transformed. He was also on President Obama’s short list for Army secretary.

Volvo offers this contraption only in vehicles at the higher end, specifically those that are offered in 5 and six speed options and that have an engine displacement greater than 2.4 liters. The advantage of this system is that it gives the user an automatic machine that can be used as a manual one. The car will shift gears automatically when it feels the need.

The plant – which is part of a £500m investment – will be staffed by 1,400 workers and is set to produce an engine every 36 seconds at full capacity. The engines will be aluminium four-cylinder petrol and diesels of JLR’s own design and the new Jaguar XS saloon will be the first to get one of the new engines. Neither Jaguar or Land Rover has used an engine designed and built in-house since the late 90s. The first prototype engines will be produced in the spring.• Details on JLR's new Brazil engineering plant Following their initial use in Jaguar’s new compact saloon, expect to see the engines used across most of the Jaguar line-up and Land Rover’s smaller models like the Evoque and Freelander. There were no details on power or engine capacities, other than the news that the manufacturing process is flexible so it’s easy to change engine capacity and add new technology into the design. Engineers are hopeful that the new units will be among the most powerful and fuel efficient on sale. The plant itself is the size of 14 football pitches and consists of three buildings; a machining factory where the cylinder head, block and crankshaft are built, and separate petrol and diesel assembly houses. As it stands, the machining plant is 55 per cent complete, the diesel assembly 15 per cent complete and the petrol assembly about 5 per cent finished. When the plant is fully operational machining will be done six days a week on a three-shift rotation, while the petrol and diesel assemblies will work five days a week."

There are many Volvo factories worldwide but not all of them manufacture the same Volvo models, so each area that produces Volvo cars has a slightly different selection for locals to choose from. It is cheaper to buy a Volvo model that was manufactured locally than to buy one that has to be shipped overseas to your location because overseas shipping is more expensive than overland shipping. Also, the higher supply of Volvo models that are being manufactured drives the price of those models down for that local region. The following is a list of the countries where Volvo cars are built and which models are being produced there. Sweden With two separate factories in Sweden, one in Torslanda and one in Uddevalla, Sweden produces a wide variety of Volvo models. The plant in Torslanda manufactures the Volvo S80, the Volvo S40, the Volvo S60, the Volvo V50 and the Volvo XC60, while the Uddevalla plant only produces the Volvo C70. Belgium There is one Volvo factory in Belgium that is currently producing cars. It is located in Ghent, and builds the Volvo C30, the Volvo S40, the Volvo S60, the Volvo V50 and the Volvo XC60."

Noah Joseph Feb 9th 2016 at 10:10AMSubscribe0Comments Volvo wagons are icons. Sure, the company may be focusing more on crossovers lately, but it's getting back to its roots next week with the launch of the new V90. Scheduled to debut on February 18 in the Swedish capital of Stockholm, the V90 will build on the foundation already set down in the XC90 crossover and S90 sedan. Expect it to virtually mirror the specs of the latter, but with more of the utility offered by the former. We wouldn't be surprised to see it incorporate some kind of new safety feature as well, but as for styling, we already have a pretty good idea of what to expect. The new Volvo V90 is set to finally replace the old V70 that was introduced in 2007 and which is still on sale in markets overseas. It will eventually yield a Cross Country version that will relieve the XC70 still sold here. But as long as those have been around, they're still far from the first wagons that Volvo ever made. That honor will forever belong to the Duett that debuted in 1953."

"text": "\"Home Buying Free Car-Maintenance Programsby Ronald Montoya September 3rd, 2015 buying Share: Automakers often offer free car maintenance as an added incentive to buyers. If you visit a dealership whose brand offers free maintenance, you'll hear about this coverage in the sales pitch. But do these programs save any money? In most cases no, but there are reasons why they still may be appealing to car buyers. Not all free car maintenance programs are the same. The better free vehicle maintenance programs come from luxury car brands, which have higher-priced vehicles than their non-luxury competitors. That factor typically offsets any savings from the free maintenance. The average savings from the automotive brands with less expensive vehicles and shorter coverage, like Chevrolet or Toyota, amounts to less than $500. Audi only offers one free service, and instead prefers to sell prepaid maintenance plans that offer a discounted rate when compared to the dealership. Jaguar's intermediate coverage is good for about five maintenance visits."

"text": "Cars & Transportation Car Makes Volvo Are Volvo's good cars? Follow 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Volvo's are great cars. There is this incredible myth in the public that Volvo's are incredibly expensive to fix. The same after market suppliers that supply all other car makers also supply parts for Volvo... if you take care of your engine, give the car good gas and never allow it or any car to run down to empty then you will have a good car. I have a 2002 volvo s40 1.9T (85000 miles). Outside of Oil changes and brake work I have had only one problem there the other day after 8 years on the road. A corroded wire to the starter. Volvo doesn't believe in mass advertising so therefore it will have a long time to diffuse this myth. It's simply not true... All they can do is continue to produce luxury cars that last for a long time... that is advertisement enough Source (s):volvo owner Hurricane · 8 years ago1 1 Comment You have received some great answers.

"text": "\"How Long Do Volvos Last?by Susan De Feo The word Volvo is Latin for \"\"I roll,\"\" and the luxury car company has been rolling along since 1927. While you may not see many Volvos on the road from that era, average life-span figures ranging from 18.7 to 20.7 years are still quite impressive. Considerations U. S. cars from the 1950s to 1970s had an average life span of 100,000 miles, or eight years. Today, the median life expectancy of an American-made automobile is 12 years, or about 128,500 miles. Comparison While figures vary, the average life span of a Volvo is second only to a Mercedes. At 19.7 years, the \"\"brick,\"\" as a Volvo is sometimes referred to, is renowned for its safety and reliability. Expert Insight Consumer Reports expert John Ibbotson says today's cars should reach 200,000 miles and that poor maintenance is to blame for the low numbers. Volvo owners, however, are known for routinely maintaining and servicing their autos. Benefits The Volvo High Mileage Club, open to those with 150,000 miles or more on their Volvos, has six cars with more than 1 million miles and one car with more than 2.6 million miles registered. Fun Facts Sweden is home to the Volvo Museum, which chronicles everything Volvo from 1927 until today."

"text": "Why Volvo gave away the patent for their most important invention The life-saving three-point seat belt was too significant not to share, according to Volvo Wednesday 7 August 2013 Share this article on Google+Share this article on Facebook Share this article on Twitter Volvo opened up the patent for the three-point seatbelt, which has now saved over 35,000 lives. Photo courtesy: Volvo Pinterest Nils Bohlin, an engineer at Volvo, invented the three-point seat belt in 1959. The 1950s were a time when pilots and racing drivers wore harnesses, but seatbelts – where they were fitted in cars – took the form of a rudimentary two-point waist restraint. In crashes, sometimes these did more harm than good. The reason the three-point seatbelt is so widely adopted is actually because Volvo opened up the patent so that any car manufacturer could use it in their design. They decided that the invention was so significant, it had more value as a free life saving tool than something to profit from. Volvo’s managing director Alan Dessell is quoted as saying: “The decision to release the three-point seat belt patent was visionary and in line with Volvo’s guiding principle of safety. ”The man who saved a million lives Pinterest Nils Bohlin, inventor of the three-point seatbelt, received a gold medal from the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Science in 1995 and, in 1999, was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame. Bohlin, a former aviation engineer at Saab who worked on ejector seats, knew an effective belt must absorb force across the body yet be so easy to use even a child could buckle up. His ingenious solution took the form of a combined lap belt with a diagonal belt across the chest."

Like other vultures, they have a highly sensitive sense of smell and a baldhead. The baldhead of a turkey vulture is red and resembles a wild turkey – hence the name, turkey vulture. Black vultures are large scavenging birds also widely distributed throughout the southern United States. They will often be found in large groups with turkey vultures. Unlike turkey vultures, they do not have a keen sense of smell and locate their prey visually. Occasionally, they will follow turkey vultures to a fresh kill, capitalizing on the turkey vultures’ ability to smell a fresh carcass from a long distance. Black vultures are slightly smaller than turkey vultures and their heads are a wrinkled leathery looking grey. Vultures do not suffer from botulism or other illnesses caused by the bacteria in rancid meat because their nervous system and immune systems are specially adapted for their particularly gruesome diet; however, the pathogens found in their droppings may present a health hazard to humans and other animals. Vulture droppings are also unsightly and smell unpleasant."

Researchers proved fairly long ago that Turkey Vultures can smell. In 1938, the Union Oil Company discovered that by injecting a strong-smelling organic chemical called mercaptan into gas lines, they could readily find leaks by monitoring vulture activity above the pipelines. Some mercaptans smell like rotting cabbage or eggs. They and related chemicals are released as carcasses decompose. To us, mercaptans smell horrible, but for vultures they are associated with fine dining. In a 1986 study in Panama, Turkey Vultures found 71 of 74 chicken carcasses within three days."

"text": "TURKEY VULTURECathartes aura Of the seven species of the New World vultures, the Turkey Vulture is the most common and the most widely distributed, ranging from south Canada to southern South America. In winter this efficient scavenger migrates from the northern part of its range, where a carcass will freeze, to the southern part of the United States and south into South America. The Turkey Vulture breeds throughout Texas, but the winter population is largely confined to east of a line running from Wichita Falls (Pulich 1988) south to Del Rio. It might be noted, however, that there are records for this bird in Big Bend National Park for every month of the year except January (Warner 1973). Casual winter lingerers in the west were also noted by Oberholser (1974). DISTRIBUTION: The Turkey Vulture breeds throughout Texas, adapting to the forests and swamplands of east Texas, the open prairies farther west, and the high, arid lands of the Trans-Pecos. Abundant in the east, and common to fairly common throughout much of the state, the species can be scarce in the northwest and far west quarters of the state. Oberholser observed this pattern as did, more recently, TBBA atlasers. The relative dearth of observations in the western Panhandle and the Trans-Pecos may also be in part a reflection of limited numbers of observers, and because of the paucity of public lands in Texas, lack of access to many areas. Significantly, the heavily visited Big Bend area produced no fewer than six confirmed breeding records."

They are like nature's trash trucks; they take care of the waste. No energy is ever wasted. When an animal dies, its body still contains energy. Scavengers and decomposers help to make the most of that leftover energy. Let's look at an example. A turkey vulture is a scavenger. It eats carrion, or dead animals. When searching for food, the vulture uses his strong sense of smell. To this large bird, the smell of a rotting animal is like the ringing of a dinner bell."

"text": "This Is What Happens to Your Body After You Die Moheb Costandi5/05/15 7:15am Filed to: science 214 45Most of us would rather not think about what happens to our bodies after death. But that breakdown gives birth to new life in unexpected ways, writes Moheb Costandi. “It might take a little bit of force to break this up,” says mortician Holly Williams, lifting John’s arm and gently bending it at the fingers, elbow and wrist. “ Usually, the fresher a body is, the easier it is for me to work on. ”Williams speaks softly and has a happy-go-lucky demeanour that belies the nature of her work. Raised and now employed at a family-run funeral home in north Texas, she has seen and handled dead bodies on an almost daily basis since childhood. Now 28 years old, she estimates that she has worked on something like 1,000 bodies. Her work involves collecting recently deceased bodies from the Dallas–Fort Worth area and preparing them for their funeral. “Most of the people we pick up die in nursing homes,” says Williams, “but sometimes we get people who died of gunshot wounds or in a car wreck. We might get a call to pick up someone who died alone and wasn’t found for days or weeks, and they’ll already be decomposing, which makes my work much harder."

"text": "Decomposers and food chains Unit Home Topic Home Chapter Home 3 Pictures 0 Animations 1 Videos Chapter Summary 0 Activities 1 Exams Organic matter is recycled in an ecosystem by decomposers. Decomposers are organisms such as bacteria and fungi that break down the organic matter in the dead bodies of plants and animals. As the decomposers feed from the dead animals, they break down the organic compounds into simple nutrients. These simple nutrients are returned to the soil and can be used again by the plants. The energy transformation chain begins again. Decomposers Decomposers are nature's recyclers as they break down the organic matter found in the dead bodies of plants and animals. The term 'organic matter' refers to the matter that comes from living organisms. Decomposers are chiefly the micro-organisms such as bacteria and fungi in the form or yeasts and moulds that break down bodies of dead organisms and release compounds that can be used by producers. Some of these compounds include nitrogen, phosphorus and magnesium. There are more than 100 000 different types of decomposer organisms."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Zoology Identify the niche of producers, consumers, and decomposers in a local ecosystem? Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: First, let us define \"\"niche\"\" -The function or position of an organism or population within an ecological community. http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dic... Producers Producers convert energy from the environment into carbon bonds, such as those found in the sugar glucose. Plants are the most obvious examples of producers; plants take energy from sunlight and use it to convert carbon dioxide into glucose (or other sugars). Algae and cyanobacteria are also photosynthetic producers, like plants. Other producers include bacteria living around deep-sea vents. These bacteria take energy from chemicals coming from the Earth's interior and use it to make sugars. Other bacteria living deep underground can also produce sugars from such inorganic sources. Another word for producers is autotrophs. http://www.marietta.edu/~biol/102/ecosys... Consumers Consumers obtain their energy from green plants."

"text": "The Ruppells Griffon Vulture; The Highest Recorded Flying Bird September 26, 2012 at 7:58 pm We’ve all traveled in a plane, whether it was just for business or for vacation. We’ve all been thousands of feet up in the air in the comfort of an airplane admiring the beauty of the ground below us. Unfortunately, none of us will ever be able to experience what it’s like to soar as high as the Ruppell’s Griffon Vulture; the highest flying bird ever recorded. This vulture is one of the largest scavengers alive and without its presence in the skies of Africa; the wilderness would be littered with waste. These birds tend to move in flocks and devour the remains of leftover kills and are useful for recycling rotting flesh. Unfortunately, this species has become endangered as the number of vultures slowly starts to decline. The bird weighs in anywhere from 15-20 pounds and has a wingspan of about 8.5 feet. Birds such as the bar-headed goose (Which have been recorded at approximately 27,000 ft) have been reported to be in close competition to the altitude with the Ruppell’s Vulture. Although this vulture still dominates with a recorded altitude of 36,000 feet. That’s the equivalent to about 120 football fields!"

"text": "\"With hundreds of sportboat and runabout models on the market from scores of builders, making a decision as to which boat to buy can be difficult. Throw in the fact that there are four distinctly different types of boat in this category -- sterndrive, outboard, jet drive, and inboard powered -- and the fact that different watersports are best done with certain boat configurations, and you begin to see the magnitude the of problem. Making a decision among sportboats between one boat and several others is often perplexing for even long-time boat owners. But like virtually all things in boating, if the \"\"mission\"\" of the boat is narrowly defined, then the decision becomes much easier. Most boats are built primary for one or two specific activities and other uses for the boat are tertiary. By first identifying what your primary goal for your new boat is, and then by finding out what the builder's intention was when he designed the boat, sportboat buyers can zero-in on a short list of models that will meet their needs. Adding a price-point consideration creates yet another dimension to the search for the best boat for any given need and purse. Then there is the matter of warranty and aftermarket customer service. But before drilling down to those details, you must get the type of boat selected first. This week Seattle yacht broker Martha Comfort provides us with installment #6 in a series of articles on boat buying."

Boating Checks & Balances You can go through an entire boating season, even an entire boating career, without simultaneously going broke - and you don't have to live like Ebenezer Scrooge. Just be dead honest with yourself about your finances so that you know how much a boating season will really cost and whether you can really afford it. If you can, great; if you can't, you can cut back on your boating lifestyle to bring it within your budget. Your finances, of course, are nobodys business but yours, so stick to the task of honestly breaking down the cost of a boating season. Calculate your boat payments To go boating, you need a boat, the biggest expense of any boating season (until you pay it off). Even if you only use the boat a few months out of the year, you make payments every month. A number of variables affect your monthly boat payment such as the final purchase price, your down payment, and the interest rate. Most lenders offer amortization calculators that help you get an idea of the monthly payments in advance. You can also find a number of these calculators online."

Surrounded by the San Bernardino National Forest, Big Bear Lake is a year-round playground for winter and summer sports enthusiasts, as well as a refuge for city dwellers to relax and enjoy the beauty of the majestic pine trees that cover the landscape, the abundant wildlife, the wildflowers in the spring, and the snow in the winter. View of the lake from the Artic Circle Big Bear Lake is located in the San Bernardino Mountains and is an easy drive from most areas in southern California. It is about 93 miles northeast of Los Angeles, an approximate 2 hour, 10 drive depending on traffic and road conditions. From Beverly Hills it is approximately a 2 hour, 20 min. drive and from the City of San Bernardino (29 miles) - depending on traffic it is a 40 to 45 minute drive. There are three roads that lead in and out of the Big Bear Valley. From the I10 you can choose between the Hwy330 which turns into Hwy18 (called the front way) through Running Springs, or the Hwy38 through Mentone. From the 210 Freeway you can also choose the Hwy330 which takes you directly up the mountain or you can proceed towards Redlands and take Hwy38 if you prefer that route. Hwy38 usually has less traffic, but Hwy330 is quicker."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Not to be confused with Waterboarding. Wakeboarding First played 1980s, United States Characteristics Type Outdoor Equipment Wakeboard Venue Cable skiing Wakeboarding Wakeboarding is a surface water sport which involves riding a wakeboard over the surface of a body of water. The wakeboard is a small, mostly rectangular, thin board with very little displacement and shoe-like bindings mounted to it. It was developed from a combination of water skiing, snowboarding, and surfing techniques. The wakeboard is usually towed behind a motorboat, typically at speeds of 30–40 km/h (18–25 mph), depending on the board size, weight, type of tricks, and comfort. This speed could also depend on the year, make, and model of the boat because some boats, which are not designed for wakeboarding, create a different size wake in which one may not feel comfortable with. The wakeboard can also be towed by other means, including closed-course cable systems, [1] [2] winches, and personal water craft.

Here you’ll find unmatched splendor and beauty, nestled in the quiet mountains of Western Maryland. Built in 1925, Deep Creek Lake has been a beloved place to both live and play. Deep Creek Lake is the largest fresh water lake in Maryland, covering 3,900 ac with 65+ miles of shoreline. A hydroelectric dam controls the lake, and during the off-season, water is drained from the lake to supply several tributaries used for top class white water rapids. The lake and the buffer strip surrounding the water are owned by the State of Maryland and are protected by several environmental laws. These restrictions help protect the beauty of Deep Creek Lake while keeping it a safe place to play and swim. Deep Creek Lake life is always exciting, especially during the summer months.

Kneeboards are ridden in ocean surf, or while being towed behind a boat on a lake or river. Kneeboard riders generally wear life jackets or wet suits and catch the wave by paddling and kicking or dipping their hand in the water . Advantages to kneeboarding include an extremely low center of gravity, less wind resistance, the ability to ride higher and farther back in the tubes, and taking off on a steeper part of the wave. Towed kneeboarding is an offshoot of kneeboard surfing; kneeboard riders compete tricks, and expression session events. Towed kneeboards have a padded deck contoured to the shape of the shins and knees and a strap holds the rider to the board."

Boats come in all sizes and types; to know which one best fits your ideal boating scenario or just to learn about boats in general, take a cruise around the links below where you will learn distinguishing characteristics that set different boats apart and which boating activities are recommended for each. Fishing Boats Mitch Diamond/Photodisc/Getty Images There are many types of fishing boats for both freshwater and saltwater including bay boats, flats boats, center console and walkaround boats. Fishing boats are designed with a specific marine environment in mind such as offshore, inshore or flats fishing. Before you buy a fishing boat, it's important to match the boat to your needs. These include the type of fishing you will be doing, the marine environment, fuel capacity, and rod holders. It pays to do your research to find out which boat is best in the area in which you plan to do most of your fishing. If you like different types of fishing and can't afford multiple boats, be sure you get one that can be used in a variety of types of fishing environments. Watersports Boats© Mastercraft Wakeboarding, water skiing, and tubing are some of the most popular watersports.

"text": "\"Cars & Transportation Boats & Boating What size boat/motor do you need to pull a waterski or wakeboarder?want a toy but not sure where to start. can a jetski pull a skier easily? advice please as we dont know where to start Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Actually, jet skis are much worse regarding towing skiers/wakeboards due to their small weight and shallow draft. This makes piloting the jet ski more difficult, especially with a heavy individual being towed. In all states in the US, a 3 seater jet ski is the law for any towable sports involving a PWC (skiing, tubing, etc) If you have the room to store it and vehicle to tow it, I recommend you search hard and get a well maintained used ski boat. Minimum HP requirement for a ski boat should be 85hp with a regular boat hull. Don't even think about getting a pontoon boat if you intend on doing anything with the words \"\"ski\"\" or \"\"wakeboard\"\" in it. Jet skis are exciting and fun when you get them, however the novelty and limits of what you can do with them starts to be apparent. This is especially so if you intend on waterskiing or wakeboarding often. Yes, a jetski can do it but its not as effective or economic as a ski boat in my view."

But sorting through all of the different options can be quite difficult. Which is best for the type of boating you enjoy? Is newer technology necessarily better? And which engine and drive systems are evolving the fastest? Let’s take an in-depth look at motorboat engines and power systems. No matter what sort of powerboat you're interested in, choosing the right powerplant is a key factor in becoming a happy boater. Strictly speaking, the engine is what creates power and the drive system is what transfers that power into thrust. So logically, you want to distinguish between the two. There’s just one problem: many power and drive systems are integrated."

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

They comprise the extant families Odobenidae (whose only living member is the walrus ), Otariidae (the eared seals: sea lions and fur seals ), and Phocidae (the earless seals, or true seals). There are 33 extant species of pinnipeds, and more than 50 extinct species have been described from fossils. While seals were historically thought to have descended from two ancestral lines, molecular evidence supports them as a monophyletic lineage (descended from one ancestral line). Pinnipeds belong to the order Carnivora and their closest living relatives are bears and musteloids ( weasels, raccoons, skunks, and red pandas ), having diverged about 50 million years ago. Seals range in size from the 1 m (3 ft 3 in) and 45 kg (99 lb) Baikal seal to the 5 m (16 ft) and 3,200 kg (7,100 lb) southern elephant seal, which is also the largest carnivoran. [ c] Several species exhibit sexual dimorphism. They have streamlined bodies and four limbs that are modified into flippers. Though not as fast in the water as dolphins, seals are more flexible and agile."

"text": "Marine life Extreme Arctic sea ice melt forces thousands of walruses ashore in Alaska Survival of walruses threatened as they wash ashore on a remote barrier island just before Obama is due to visit region to draw attention to climate change Suzanne Goldenberg US environment correspondent@suzyji Thu 27 Aug 2015 16.51 EDT12.39 ESTThis article is over 2 years old15,293 631Aerial photograph of thousands of Pacific walrus coming ashore near Point Lay, on the north-west Arctic coast of Alaska, on Sunday. Photograph: Gary Braasch/Corbis The extreme loss of Arctic sea ice due to climate change is forcing thousands of walruses to crowd ashore on a remote barrier island off Alaska, and threatening their survival. Barack Obama will be the first US president to visit the Alaskan Arctic on 31 August on a three-day tour to draw attention to the drastic consequences of climate change for the Arctic, such as warming winters and the rapid retreat of sea ice. The first reported sighting of animals forced to come ashore in the Chukchi Sea was by a photographer on 23 August, and confirmed by villagers in the remote hamlet of Point Lay late on Thursday, the US Fish and Wildlife Service said. Such landings, forced by the absence of sea ice on which to rest and feed, put the animals at risk of stampede in the limited space of the barrier island. The animals are easily spooked by aircraft or onlookers, government scientists warned. Trampling deaths are one of the biggest natural risks. Sea ice cover in the winter months fell to a new low this year because of climate change and abnormal weather patterns. Some scientists believe the Arctic could be entirely ice-free in the summer months by the 2030s – with profound effects for local indigenous communities that rely on the ice, as well as wildlife that depend on extreme conditions. Since 2000, the forced migration of walruses and their young to barrier islands such as Point Lay – known as a “haul out” – has become an increasingly regular occurrence, according to US government scientists."

Thought to be most closely related to Fur Seals, Walruses are the second largest ocean-dwelling mammals that come ashore to breed after Elephant Seals and are highly distinctive amongst pinnipeds due to their sensitive whiskers and long tusks. There are two different species of Walrus that vary slightly in appearance but mainly in geographic location which are the Atlantic Walrus and the Pacific Walrus. However, it is widely debated as to whether or not there is actually a third species known as the Laptev Walrus that is found in the Laptev Sea, which many believe to simply be a population of Pacific Walruses that specifically inhabit the area. The Walrus is considered to be an increasingly vulnerable animal species although gathering data on these elusive creatures can be difficult so it is hard to determine exactly the current status of Walrus populations in the wild. Walrus Anatomy and Appearance Walruses have large and elongated bodies that are wider at the head and neck and taper towards their tail which is embedded in a web of skin. Their tough and wrinkled skin is covered by a layer of sparse, coarse hairs and is generally grey or brown in colour. However, whilst sunbathing out of the water, the skin of the Walrus (which can be up to 4cm thick) develops a pink-red colouration. Walruses have two pairs of flippers that are used to help to propel these large animals with great agility through the water, with their bodies powered by their back flippers while the front flippers are used to steer them in the right direction. On land, they move about awkwardly on all fours, curling their back flippers underneath them at right angles to give them more support."

"text": "Long in the Tooth Both male and female walruses have long ivory tusks, although the tusks of the males tend to be longer and thicker than those of females. The tusks are the walrus' very long upper canine teeth, and they grow to an average length of about 36 cm / 14 inches, but they can grow as long as 100 cm / 39 inches in males. ( This makes Dracula seem sort of puny, doesn't it?). The walrus uses its long ivory tusks for many things: as hooks for hauling its heavy body up onto land or ice floes, foraging for food on the ocean floor (clams are a favorite food), and as a defensive weapon for protection from polar bears or killer whales. However, the main role of the tusks is a social one, and walruses use them in dominance and mating displays. They are only secondarily used as weapons, but when walruses cross tusks, there are often injuries involved. The scars seen on the necks and shoulders of adult males are evidence of tusking. MORE...

Vulnerablelc nt vu en cr ew ex Least Concern Extinct Current Population Trend: Unknown About the Walrus The mustached and long-tusked walrus is most often found near the Arctic Circle, lying on the ice with hundreds of companions. These marine mammals are extremely sociable, prone to loudly bellowing and snorting at one another, but are aggressive during mating season. With wrinkled brown and pink hides, walruses are distinguished by their long white tusks, grizzly whiskers, flat flipper, and bodies full of blubber. Walrus Tusks Walruses use their iconic long tusks for a variety of reasons, each of which makes their lives in the Arctic a bit easier. They use them to haul their enormous bodies out of frigid waters, thus their “tooth-walking” label, and to break breathing holes into ice from below. Their tusks, which are found on both males and females, can extend to about three feet, and are, in fact, large canine teeth, which grow throughout their lives. Male walruses, or bulls, also employ their tusks aggressively to maintain territory and, during mating season, to protect their harems of females, or cows. Arctic Adaptations The walrus' other characteristic features are equally useful."

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

Marine mammals have all the characteristics of mammals, yet they are distinctive in their appearance and survival strategies. Learning to identify marine mammals is made easier by learning their scientific classification or taxonomy. Order Carnivora includes five families of marine mammals: Three of the families within the order are called “pinnipeds” which means “flipper-footed”. Pinnipeds regularly come out on land to rest, breed, and give birth and are comprised of the following three families: Family Otariidae: sea lions and fur seals have visible external ears and can walk on all four flippers by rotating their rear flippers forward under their body. They are more mobile on land than true seals and are often seen in zoos and aquariums. Their swimming power comes from their large front flippers. In California, this family includes the California sea lions, Steller sea lions, northern fur seals , and Guadalupe fur seals. Family Phocidae: true seals have no external ears and crawl on land because their front flippers are small and their hind flippers cannot rotate forward. Their swimming power comes from their large, fan-like rear flippers."

The walrus was named for ‘toothwalker’ because it often uses its distinctive tusks to help itself drag its body across the ice or land. Formally called Odobenus rosmarus, most scientists consider the walrus to consist of two subspecies – the Pacific walrus ( Odobenus rosmarus divergens) and the Atlantic walrus ( Odobenus rosmarus rosmarus ). The Pacific walrus is larger, darker and much more numerous. Resting walrus group of mixed males, females and babies. There is no accurate population census for the walrus but it is believed there are over 200,000 Pacific walrus and only a few thousand Atlantic walrus individuals.

Their diet consists mainly of ringed and bearded seals. These are usually male walruses, recognizable because they are usually larger than other males, with powerful shoulder and chest muscles. Their skin may become grease-stained from the blubber of the seals they prey on. Food Intake Adult walruses eat about 3% to 6% of their total weight per day.

Although they can be found swimming throughout all of the worlds major oceans orca typically prefer living in colder regions of the world where they can consume other marine mammals such as sea lions, walruses and other large prey. Orca that live in warmer tropical regions on the other hand tend to stick to a diet consisting of fish, squid and other small marine animals. Whether hunting for prey, playing around, resting or traveling throughout the ocean orca are extremely social animals and almost always travel in pods (groups) with other family members and friends. In fact their complex social structure, organized hunting techniques and long-term relationships is often compared to the social complexities of humans and elephants. The orcas lifestyle has even been considered by some researchers and marine biologists to have its own culture just like the culture of humans where different pods have different personalities, diets and behaviors. While these marine mammals are known for traveling in large pods some groups prefer living in larger pods than others. For instance killer whales that live in offshore pods tend to have anywhere from 25 – 75 pod members in a group while transient pods may contain an average of 2 – 6 pod members in a group. When it comes to raising their children female orca are very protective of their young and are very family oriented often caring for their calves for several years and remaining very protective of them over the course of their relationship. In addition to the mother other females within the pod will also care for and protect the calves and as many as four generations of family members may be seen living together in a single pod."

Section 306 (a) prohibits any director or executive officer of an issuer of any equity security from, directly or indirectly, purchasing, selling or otherwise acquiring or transferring any equity security of the issuer during a pension plan blackout period that temporarily prevents plan participants or beneficiaries from engaging in equity securities transactions through their plan accounts, if the director or executive officer acquired the equity security in connection with his or her service or employment as a director or executive officer. In addition, the rules specify the content and timing of the notice that issuers must provide to their directors and executive officers and to the Commission about a blackout period. The rules are designed to facilitate compliance with the will of Congress as reflected in Section 306 (a), and to eliminate the inequities that may result when pension plan participants and beneficiaries are temporarily prevented from engaging in equity securities transactions through their plan accounts. Dates: Effective Date: January 26, 2003. Compliance Date: Issuers must comply with §245.104 (b) (3) (i) and (iii) of Regulation BTR beginning March 31, 2003."

"text": "\"Does \"\"Bankruptcy Remote\"\" Mean \"\"Bankruptcy Proof\"\"? By Jeremy R. Fischer – December 3, 2014To file a voluntary petition for relief under the Bankruptcy Code, an entity’s directors must approve a resolution authorizing such action, subject to the requirements of the entity’s organizational documents. A copy of such authorization is generally filed along with the voluntary petition. In bankruptcy parlance, “bankruptcy remote” is a term used to describe provisions of an entity’s organizational documents that make it difficult (or impossible) for the entity to voluntarily seek bankruptcy relief. Entities are generally made bankruptcy remote for the benefit of one or more key classes of creditors or equity holders, and two typical provisions in the organizational documents act in concert to achieve this result—one that requires the appointment of at least one “independent” director loyal to the class that wishes to avoid bankruptcy and one that requires unanimous approval of the entity’s directors to authorize a filing. When a bankruptcy remote entity faces distress, constituencies that wish to invoke the protections of the Bankruptcy Code must utilize unconventional tactics. In some instances, independent directors are swiftly replaced immediately before the key vote to authorize a voluntary filing. See, e.g., In re Gen. Growth Props. Inc., 409 B. R. 43 (Bankr. S. D. N. Y. 2009)."

The word warrant simply means to \"\"endow with the right\"\", which is only slightly different from the meaning of option. Warrants are frequently attached to bonds or preferred stock as a sweetener, allowing the issuer to pay lower interest rates or dividends. They can be used to enhance the yield of the bond and make them more attractive to potential buyers. Warrants can also be used in private equity deals. Frequently, these warrants are detachable and can be sold independently of the bond or stock."

There are different ways to access capital, but all require that the home have enough equity to warrant a refinance loan. You also must meet all credit and income requirements to get the refinance approved. Cash-Out Refinance Typically, a cash-out refinance takes your existing first mortgage and refinances it while also pulling out equity, creating a new loan for a new term, often 30 years. You get this equity as cash at the time of loan funding. This is a good option if interest rates are lower than your original loan's rate, and it gives lenders confidence in holding a first-position loan for the entire debt. Keep in mind that you might have to pay additional premium mortgage insurance if the new balance on the loan exceeds an 80 percent loan-to-value ratio. A PMI requirement would be a drawback to this option. Home Equity Loan A home equity loan is a second mortgage."

"text": "Venture Capital Terms: Warrant Coverage Last week I posted a short description of some common terms that are used to describe a company’s valuation on a venture capital term sheet. While everyone who negotiates a term sheet is likely aware of the importance of valuation during the negotiation, many other terms have a large impact on the deal and yet are often overlooked by entrepreneurs raising capital. When a term sheet includes warrants issued to investors, the equity held by entrepreneurs and other common stockholders at the company will be further diluted. Therefore, the effect of warrant coverage should be carefully considered while negotiating the terms of a venture financing. What is warrant coverage? Warrants are additional shares that are issued to VCs on top of the shares they purchase with their invested dollars. The issued warrants typically carry the same terms and privileges as the purchased shares (e.g. liquidation preference ). The warrants that are issued as part of a financing can be expressed as a flat share count, but they are often expressed as a percentage of the purchased shares, called warrant coverage. For example, if a VC invests $1M in a company at $1 / share, they will purchase 1M shares. If the terms of the financing include 30% warrant coverage, the VC will also receive an additional 300,000 shares in the form of warrants."

When the rights are for equity securities, such as shares, in a public company, it is a non-dilutive pro rata way to raise capital. Rights issues are typically sold via a prospectus or prospectus supplement. With the issued rights, existing security-holders have the privilege to buy a specified number of new securities from the issuer at a specified price within a subscription period. In a public company, a rights issue is a form of public offering (different from most other types of public offering, where shares are issued to the general public). Rights issues may be particularly useful for all publicly traded companies as opposed to other more dilutive financing options. As equity issues are generally preferable to debt issues from the company's viewpoint, companies usually opt for a rights issue in order to minimize dilution and maximize the useful life of tax loss carryforwards.

These lines allow investors to compare the performance of the fund with the performance of a benchmark index and the fund's Morningstar category. Both lines are plotted on a logarithmic scale, so that identical percentage changes in the value of an investment have the same vertical distance on the graph.

FP&AAnonymous ( Accounting Manager) | Aug 17, 2013Any insight into the proper accounting treatment for detachable warrants Answers Topic Expert Jim Brendel (Partner, Hein & Associates LLP) | Jan 10, 2012The accounting treatment for detachable warrants is a complicated area. Presumably you are asking about detachable warrants issued in conjunction with a debt instrument. The first step is to allocate the proceeds to the debt instrument and the warrants, based on their relative fair values (ASC 470-20-30-2). Next you will need to determine whether the warrants are classified as equity or liabilities. There is a good discussion of this process in the SEC Staff's Current Issues and Rulemaking Projects - copied below:1. Freestanding Instruments - Warrants Since warrants are freestanding instruments, the warrants should be analyzed to determine whether they meet the definition of a derivative under SFAS 133 (paragraphs 6 -9 ), and if so, whether they meet the scope exception in paragraph 11 of SFAS 133. If the warrant does not meet the definition of a derivative under SFAS 133, it must be evaluated under EITF 00-19 to determine whether the instrument should be accounted for as a liability or as equity. In order to determine that equity classification of the contract is appropriate, all of the criteria for equity classification in paragraphs 7-32 of EITF 00-19 must be met. These criteria relate to contract terms, not the likelihood of any particular term being triggered."

[ 1] It is used to evaluate new projects of a company. It is the minimum return that investors expect for providing capital to the company, thus setting a benchmark that a new project has to meet.

Given a number of competing investment opportunities, investors are expected to put their capital to work in order to maximize the return. In other words, the cost of capital is the rate of return that capital could be expected to earn in the best alternative investment of equivalent risk; this is the opportunity cost of capital. If a project is of similar risk to a company's average business activities it is reasonable to use the company's average cost of capital as a basis for the evaluation. However, for projects outside the core business of the company, the current cost of capital may not be the appropriate yardstick to use, as the risks of the businesses are not the same. [ 2]A company's securities typically include both debt and equity, one must therefore calculate both the cost of debt and the cost of equity to determine a company's cost of capital. Importantly, both cost of debt and equity must be forward looking, and reflect the expectations of risk and return in the future."

It is a hybrid security with debt- and equity-like features. [ 1] It originated in the mid-19th century, and was used by early speculators such as Jacob Little and Daniel Drew to counter market cornering. [ 2]Convertible bonds are most often issued by companies with a low credit rating and high growth potential. Convertible bonds are also considered debt security because the companies agree to give fixed or floating interest rate as they do in common bonds for the funds of investor. To compensate for having additional value through the option to convert the bond to stock, a convertible bond typically has a coupon rate lower than that of similar, non-convertible debt. The investor receives the potential upside of conversion into equity while protecting downside with cash flow from the coupon payments and the return of principal upon maturity."

Shortly after, Houghton also founded a publishing company with partner George Mifflin. In 1880, Ticknor and Fields and Houghton and Mifflin merged their operations, combining the literary works of writers with the expertise of a publisher and creating a new partnership named Houghton, Mifflin and Company.

For more general information, see Gains Keeper Blog entry dated 5/7/2007. What Contracts Are Treated as Section 1256 Contracts Subject to These Rules? The following types of contracts are Section 1256 contracts: 1) regulated futures contracts (futures contracts); 2) certain qualifying foreign currency contracts; 3) \"\"nonequity options\"\" (this definition is discussed in more detail below); 4) dealer equity options and 5) dealer securities futures contracts. For most individual investors, the two types of Section 1256 contracts that they are most likely to hold are futures contracts and nonequity options. Some may also hold foreign currency contracts treated as Section 1256 contracts but the determination of which foreign currency contracts are Section 1256 contracts and which are not (particularly because of the requirement that such contracts must be traded in the interbank market) is beyond the scope of this discussion. It is clear whether an investor holds a futures contract because all futures contracts are exchange traded and therefore should be readily identifiable as such. However, there is a tricky and confusing aspect of the definition of a Section 1256 contract. The determination of whether an option constitutes a \"\"nonequity option\"\" subject to the Section 1256 mark-to-market rules can be difficult. As a threshold matter, only exchange listed options fall within the definition."

Writs to the sheriff, to assist a receiver, sequestrator, or other party to a suit in chancery, to get possession, under a decree of the Court, of lands withheld from him by another party to the suit. These writs, which issue from the equity side of the Court of Exchequer, or from any other Court of Chancery, are at least as old as the reign of James I., and are still in common use in England, Ireland, and some of the United States. But, whether from the odium attached to the name here, or from the practice in this Commonwealth to conform processes in equity to those at law, no instance is known of such a writ having been issued in Massachusetts.3."
