"text": "When Can A Baby Use An Umbrella Stroller Mary Ruddy Umbrella strollers are one of the best strollers to use for parents on the go. They are lightweight, easy to manoeuvre, convenient and fold up incredibly small, like an umbrella, making them the perfect strollers to use when you rely on public transportation. This is why many consumers look for the best umbrella stroller for NYC or other large cities where public transport is the transport of choice. However, umbrella strollers are not safe for newborn and infants, and it is important to know just what age your child should be in order to safely ride in this type of stroller. Recommended Age Most manufacturers of umbrella strollers recommend that these strollers should not be used for any infant under 6 months old. This age is set by manufacturers because it is the average age when infants have sufficient strength to sit up and have some head and neck control. This is important because although most umbrella strollers do have a reclining position, some of the models don’t recline enough to give most infants the support their small spines and necks need to avoid injury. However, parents of individual babies are in the best position to decide when their baby has the physical ability to ride in an umbrella stroller safely. Some infants may have no difficulty when they are as young as 4 months, while others may not be ready to sit up well until they are 7 or even 8 months old. If you are not sure whether your infant is developmentally ready for this type of stroller, then seek your paediatricians opinion."

Wolfson Pediatrics In brief: Usually after 6 mos. The jogging stroller companies usually have an age recommendation in their pamphlets/website. I recommend that babies have good head/neck control before entering the world of the runningparent. This stability can occur earlier that 6 months so if the makers of the stroller set an earlier age, see how your baby is doing at that limit. Thank Dr. Jeffrey Bowman Podiatry In brief: Age for u or child? I think you are asking about the baby and i suggest 2 months to make sure immune system is good.

"text": "\"How Much Does Baby \"\"Stuff\"\" Really Cost? Kate Tietje Image Source: Thinkstock Babies can be expensive. I say can be because they really do not have to be as expensive as people make them. I remember seeing lots of estimates of what babies cost before my daughter was born. They seemed entirely ridiculous to me! I just couldn’t see spending so much on one tiny baby!Let’s break it down, what stuff can really cost. ** please note that these costs are assuming you buy new, you buy everything yourself (i.e. don’t receive items for shower gifts) and the higher prices include designer options Car Seat Your baby must have one, and some babies have more than in the first year — depending on how big they are. Most infant seats are around $100, but can be up to $250. Convertible car seats can be from $50 – $300, and they’ll last often from birth to age 3 to 5. Crib Babies need a place to sleep, and most will have a crib."

"text": "\"Home » Infants At What Age Should I Take My Newborn out in Public? By Kathryn Walsh As long as you're there, she'll be safe. Germs have never been such a worry until the day you're taking a newborn out into public for the first time. You want the whole world to know that your baby has arrived, but she's best shared through photos in the early days. Eventually you'll need to come out of the cocoon of home and introduce your little one to the big, bad world, and when you do, you'll keep her safe. Expert Recommendations Your pediatrician is the best source for advice on taking your baby out, but other newborn and parenting experts who weigh in on the subject generally agree that shielding your newborn from crowds is wise at first. Kids Health.org cautions new parents that some pediatricians advise keeping a newborn away from crowds for the first few months of her life, and at Ask Dr Sears.com, pediatrician Dr. Jim Sears makes a similar recommendation. Your newborn's immune system is weak, so she's susceptible to illness and infections caused by other people's germs. Keeping her away from busy public places doesn't mean keeping her locked inside, though. When the weather is mild and you've taken proper precautions, she can accompany you on a walk or a relaxing picnic in a quiet section of a local park."

Simply titled, the blog \"\"Walk\"\" was conceived by Laura Miller, 27, two years ago as an inside joke among her friends, but thanks to recent publicity on Tumblr, the site and its creator have become the center of an at-times-vicious online parenting debate . Is the overuse of strollers breeding a generation of lazy kids? Are parents today coddling their kids into obesity? And more practically, how old is too old for kids to be in a stroller ? \"\" A lot of people have brought up issues of child laziness, parent laziness, which were things I had no intention of touching on when I made the blog,\"\" says Miller, of Jersey City, N. J. \"\"To me [the blog] was more of a humorous thing, but I think that it's given some people an outlet to admit this pet peeve. \"\" Though Miller says the blog is not meaning to \"\"bash parents in any way,\"\" she has received a lot of flak from disgruntled mothers who post on the site's Facebook page and send her hate mail defending their late use of strollers and chastising her for not appreciating the difficulties of parenthood. \"\" These people don't realize that I get that,\"\" Miller says. \"\" I'm not calling anyone lazy.

"text": "Baby’s First Car Seat Shopping for your baby’s first car seat can be an overwhelming task, especially with so many makes and models from which to choose. The following information is designed to help you make an informed decision when purchasing a car seat for your new baby. Things to Remember: Price is not an indicator of safety. Choose a seat that is easy for you to use. Choose a seat with several harness slots at the top and bottom to meet the needs of your growing child. Babies usually outgrow an Infant-only seat between 5 and 11 months-of-age. It is safer for your child to stay rear-facing as long as possible. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children remain rear-facing until age 2 or more. The harness of the rear-facing seat should never come out of the seat above the child’s shoulders. If possible, try the seat in the back of your vehicle (s) to make sure that it can be installed correctly."

I didn’t check ‘em out at the store; I didn’t compare pricing; I didn’t talk to my running mom friends for feedback. The idea of a jogging stroller was not very appealing to me because running has always been me time. I thought, “How can I have my alone time if baby is with me? I don’t want to worry about pushing a stroller – I just want to RUN!”Side note: Since I’ve been talking up our horrible front lawn a lot lately, I want to assure you that is not our yard. That yard is beautiful. And green. Thus, not my yard. Anyway, so I thought I didn’t want a running jogging, and then Henry arrived. I promptly realized that it is very, very difficult to find exercise ‘me time’ four times a week and find that time during daylight hours."

Any bicycle-loving parent will be familiar with the debate that is currently happening in our home: when can we take baby Luke on his first bike ride in a trailer? If you’re from a country where cycling isn’t a mainstream form of transport, the idea of putting an infant in a bicycle trailer may be shocking. Internet searches reveal plenty of people concerned about harm to the baby from vibrations and the risk of accidents but little in the way of actual data to back up these fears. One American website suggests two ways of checking to see if your child is ready to ride in a trailer. It starts off sensibly enough: We would recommend that you do two things before using a trailer: ask your pediatrician if the child is ready. Put a check mark beside point one. We’ve done that.

"text": "Infant and Kid-Friendly Cruise Policies: A Guide March 3, 2011 by Tahira Mammen When it comes to family cruising, there are so many things to research and discover about what the different cruise lines offer to parents wanting to vacation with their little ones. This post should help parents determine which cruise line meets their needs and will be the best fit, especially parents of smaller children – where the options/rules are more limited. In this post, we will focus on three of the biggest cruise lines out there for family vacationing: Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Disney Cruise Lines. How old does your child have to be to travel with you aboard the three different lines? Carnival and Royal Caribbea n have the same policy regarding bringing baby on board: the baby must be at least six months old for most itineraries. If your particular ship will spend three or more consecutive days at sea (Trans-Atlantic or some South American tours), the baby must be at least a year old. Parents are suggested to provide birth certificates to prove the babies age. On Disney, you can bring a baby as young as twelve weeks old, though the restriction for three consecutive sea-days is the same. Are infants cheaper than older children? On most cruises, children are the same price as adults."

"text": "Stroller safety: Tips for parents Stroller safety starts with choosing the right stroller for your baby. Know what to consider when looking for a stroller and how to keep your baby safe on the go. By Mayo Clinic Staff If you're like most parents, you'll likely get at least one stroller for your baby. With so many designs and types of strollers, however, how do you choose? Understand how to pick the best stroller for your baby and important stroller safety tips. What should I consider when looking for a stroller? When looking at strollers for your baby, consider: Your location. If you live in or near a city, you'll likely need a sturdy stroller to maneuver along sidewalks. You might also need to be able to collapse your stroller in a pinch to get on a bus or subway. Suburban parents might want a stroller that's easy to fold and fits into the trunk of a vehicle."

Ah yes, the joy of plane traveling with children. As cute as your kids may seem to you, I have discovered that when push comes to shove, no one else thinks your kids are so adorable when they are trapped with them on an airplane. But alas, summer is approaching and parents around the world are planning their vacations. Well, if your destination requires a flight, and you have young kids, then you better do some advance planning. Trust me, I have learned the hard way. Having traveled on 10 overseas flights and 25 domestic flights in the past few years alone, with anywhere from 1-4 children, and once without my husband, I feel that I have acquired more experience than anyone should ever have for traveling with children on a plane."

If he will be able to use the stroller without fussing at the time we get a new car seat I... show more Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Okay, first an infant seat lasts as long as the manual says it does. Usually the ones sold with travel systems are the bottom of the line that go to 20-22lbs (there are some infant seats that go to 35, Graco and Chicco make them.) There's also some length issues, but again check the manual. Second, travel systems are extremely over-rated. See... you can use the stroller without the car seat! And if the stroller lays flat normally then it's healthier than allowing the baby to sleep in the car seat on the stroller. Leaving them to sleep in car seats actually is connected to oxygen drops in their blood, and while the car seat should be used in the car for travel you should try to avoid it for anything else, including stroller rides. I'll include a link about the studies that have PROVEN this over and over again now. Especially in the first 4 months."

Flag What is the legal age for a child to stay home alone in Missouri? Answer by Rkelley Confidence votes 3.8KThere are two states that have set a minimum age of 13 (Maryland and Illinois). There is not any other states that have a law about what age someone has to be to be left alone. They are more concerned with the child's ability to take care of themself and has the means to do so. Answer (Updated) There are very few states in the U. S. with legal minimum ages, but many state agencies have published guidelines. Missouri currently has no law that states a minimum age. Georgia, Illiniois, Maryland and Oregon are a few of the states with very specific ages. Typically 8 year olds and over can be left at home for up to several hours (usually after school before a parent gets home from work). 12 years old appears to be the most common recommendation."

Especially in the South, where country music and college football have deep roots and zealous fans, it's tempting to see Sara Evans and Jay Barker as an ideal couple, like wedding-cake figurines that have come to life. In reality, they're much more down-to-earth than that -- grounded, they say, by living in low-key Birmingham with their blended family of seven children, aged 10 to 16. \"\" She's my biggest fan and I'm hers,\"\" Barker says. \"\" As great as she is at music, she's even better at being a mom and wife. \"\" With a string of gold and platinum albums to her credit, Evans has won a loyal following, critical kudos, the respect of her peers and a spot on People's 50 Most Beautiful People list. She stays busy -- to thrive or even survive in today's hypercompetitive music scene, performers must exist like sharks, in a state of near-constant activity. That means not only recording and touring but sharing her life in her Simply Sara webisodes on You Tube and on her blog, A Real Fine Place (named after one of her No.-1 singles). This year has seen the release of the albums \"\"Slow Me Down\"\" and \"\"At Christmas,\"\" a collection of holiday favorites, as well as appearances around the country, including the CMA Music Festival in Nashville and (as a real star mingling with fictitious ones) singing her latest single, \"\"Put My Heart Down,\"\" on the TV series \"\"Nashville. \"\"\"\" The Christmas album is close to my heart, because it's timeless,\"\" she says. \"\""

The 17-year-old Hillsboro High School senior wears skirts, makeup and a long wig styled with bobby pins. She even started using the girls' locker room to change for gym class, despite the school's offer of a single-occupancy restroom. \"\" I am a girl. I am not going to be pushed away to another bathroom,\"\" she told CNN affiliate KPLR. In less than two weeks, however, it became clear she was not welcome in the locker room. Because Perry has male anatomy, many students simply see her as a boy in a wig changing in the girls' locker room -- and that makes them uncomfortable. They whispered about her in hallways, complained to faculty and told their parents, who brought it up at the school board meeting on August 27. In a petition read aloud, one parent asked the board to stop extending privileges to \"\"confused teenagers who want to be something they are not sexually\"\" at other students' expense. Another parent, insinuating that the board was avoiding liability, asked which side it would support if he sues them for violating his right to \"\"parent\"\" as he chooses."

The age of majority in Missouri is 17. You are considered an adult in Missouri at that age, although you still can't enter into a contract or vote or anything set by higher (Federal) law. You cannot run away at 17, as an adult can't run a way. You can legally leave and your parents cannot file a runaway report on you. They may be able to file a missing person, but that doesn't mean anything. If you are located, that is the end of it. The police cannot force you to go home, or even make you call Mom and tell her you are OK."

He soon became a member of General William Ashley's exploration and fur-trapping team. Early on in 1823, a grizzly ripped off Smith's scalp and one ear. Fellow trappers treated his wounds.

"text": "\"Answer by Bugsbunnyfan Confidence votes 34Mom of Kyler D says.... The legal age of majority and to be a considered an adult for anything other than a criminal offence is 18 in Missouri. Missouri Revised Statutes, Chapter 210, Child Protection and Reformation, Section 210.110, as used in this section; (4) �Child�, any person, regardless of physical or mental condition, under eighteen years of age. If you commit a crime at 17 you can be prosecuted as an adult. Missouri Revised Statutes, Chapter 211, Juvenile Courts, Section 211.021, does not state emancipation anywhere in it but states that, for the purpose of that section only, juvenile courts, that the term: � (1) \"\"Adult\"\" means a person seventeen years of age or older; (2) \"\"Child\"\" means a person under seventeen years of age. � (4) \"\"Legal custody\"\" means the right to the care, custody and control of a child and the duty to provide food, clothing, shelter, ordinary medical care, education, treatment and discipline of a child. Legal custody may be taken from a parent only by court action and if the legal custody is taken from a parent without termination of parental rights, the parent's duty to provide support continues even though the person having legal custody may not provide the necessities of daily living. This law was put in place to put more children in jail for committing crimes and less in juvenile hall for running away and instead the kids are using it as a law to go live where they want. The same statute they are using to claim it is 17 also says it does not mean that the parent loses control or custody of the child and that you have to go to court to remove that right. Because it is not a crime to run away at 17 the police can't take you to jail for it and juvenile jail won't take you because you are too old. The reason the police claim they can't do anything is due to worry over being sued in the event they take you to an adult jail at 17 and an adult in the jail hurts you."

Murphy was searching for the ideal site to relocate his family and, as the tradition goes, came to find a spring near what is now the St. Francois County Courthouse with the aid of a local Native American. Deciding that this was an excellent place to set up home, Murphy acquired a Spanish Land Grant, allowing him and his family to establish a settlement along the St. Francois River. In his travels back to Kentucky, Murphy died, leaving it up to his wife, Sarah Barton Murphy, and their grown sons to establish the settlement, which they did around 1800, and named the area Murphy's Settlement. Sarah Barton Murphy is known to have assembled the premier Protestant Sunday School west of the Mississippi River."

August 6, 2014Readers — Lest you think America is alone in going plumb crazy with worry for its kids in almost every situation, take heart! Australia is at least as terrified! As the newspaper The Age reports: Parents who leave their children unattended in a car or at home face harsher fines and double the jail time under proposed laws. New legislation will be introduced on Wednesday that will mean any parent leaving a child under the age of 12 unattended could face a jail term of up to six months or fines of $3690. It is not limited to cars and homes but means anywhere a child is left alone. Previously the fine was $2214 or a maximum of three months’ jail. Naturally, the impulse behind this legislation is fear for kids who die when unattended, particularly when in cars. In “recent years,” the paper reports, there have been two counts of this in Victoria, one of the six states of Australia. That sounds like perhaps one a year, or perhaps even a couple years with no deaths."

Source: TMDB (The Movie Database)This post was updated on 9-24-14 to reflect information received from Pam Orren at Hennepin County on DHS Child Maltreatment Screening Guidelines, which include practice guidelines for leaving children unsupervised. Thanks Pam! New additions to this post are underlined. — Heidi I decided to write about Minnesota policy on leaving children home alone, without adult supervision, based on the numerous articles I’ve read over the summer about lack of supervision and child welfare intervention. What makes this topic tricky is that like nearly every other state in the U. S., Minnesota does not have an explicit law pertaining to the specific age at which children can be left home alone. Illinois sets this age at 14, Maryland at 8, and Oregon at 10. For the most part though, cities, counties, and states tend to look at a variety of factors, including age, when determining whether a specific child can be left home alone, unsupervised. As you read this post, please keep in mind that this post is intended only to provide information, not to advise or provide any kind of guidance.

Hyperthermia. The devastating effects of a child being left in a hot car. It's every parent's unfathomable nightmare, yet it happens several times a year. The tragedy can happen almost anywhere, and while hotter months are always the riskiest, the circumstances surrounding child vehicular heatstroke are varied. Hot car deaths are a consistent problem According to the safety organization Kids and Cars, an average of 37 children die each year in hot cars. These include instances where a child has been forgotten in a car, accidentally locks themselves in a car or trunk, or, in a small number of cases, when a child has been intentionally left in a car. No Heat Stroke.org, a data site run by a meteorology and litigation expert, has been collecting data on these incidents since 1998. Since that time, the highest number of deaths per year was in 2010, with 49 deaths. 2015 had the lowest rate of incidents, with 24."

"text": "Features The Apache Wars in Apache Words The Fort Sill Apache chairman looks back 150 Years as he marks the centennial release of Apache prisoners of war in Oklahoma. April 15, 2013 by Jeff Haozous0000In January 1863, Mangas Coloradas went to Pinos Altos, New Mexico, to seek peace with the United States. Other Chiricahua Apache tribal leaders had tried to talk him out of it, but Mangas persisted. Perhaps he was confident because he remembered the peace treaty he had signed in 1852 in which the U. S. pledged to “forever cease” its “hostilities” with the Apaches; to maintain “perpetual peace and amity” with them; and to arrest, try and, if convicted, punish any U. S. citizen who would “murder, rob, or otherwise maltreat any Apache Indian or Indians.” That treaty had led to a period of calm, but in 1863, the Apaches and the Americans were again in conflict. This time, there would be no treaty and there would be no peace. Persuaded to meet alone with the Americans, Mangas was taken captive, tortured and assassinated. Mangas Coloradas was chief of the Warm Springs Apaches, one of four bands of the Chiricahua Apache, whose homelands include present-day southwestern New Mexico, southeastern Arizona and northern Mexico. I am Mangas’s great-great grandson and chairman of the Fort Sill Apache Tribe, the legal successor to the Chiricahua and Warm Springs Apache. I want to share with you the story of our people since Mangas’s assassination 150 years ago."

"text": "At What Age Can a Child Be Left Home Alone?by MOLLY MCADAMS June 13, 2017Although there is no set age at which a child can be left home alone, there are guidelines parents can use to help determine if their child is physically, mentally and emotionally ready for this type of independence. Although most states do not have laws about leaving children home alone, some state agencies have rules on child supervision. Children who are independent, responsible and intelligent often can be left alone at a much earlier age than those who are not as mature. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Considerations As the New York State Office of Child & Family Services points out, some children are ready to be left alone as early as 12 or 13 years of age, while some teenagers are still too immature or irresponsible to stay home without supervision. Another consideration is the amount of time a child will be alone and whether they will have to supervise another child. Some children can be left alone only an hour or two while others of the same age may be able to take care of themselves all day. Guidance There is no set age at which a child can safely be left alone because children, even those of the same age, mature at different rates. Parents should consider whether their children are physically and mentally able to care for themselves, whether they normally obey rules and are capable of making good decisions and whether they are comfortable with the idea of staying home alone. Parents also must determine the length of time a child will be alone and the safety of their home and neighborhood. Safety Parents can help ensure their children are able to stay home alone by having a safety plan."

"text": "\"At What Age Can A Child Be Left Alone? Who are the latchkey kids? Millions of American children let themselves in or out of empty houses and supervise themselves for an hour or more each day. Called \"\"latchkey kids\"\" because of the telltale key around their neck or in their pocket, they are usually children of a single parent home or a home in which both parents work. The number of latchkey children is expected to increase as more women enter the work force and as more families experience separation and divorce. How old should a child be? Although it is generally agreed that a young child in primary school should not be left alone, age is not the only consideration. Some children might function well at home alone, while others might not be ready to assume the responsibility of self-care. Parents must make an informed decision based on their own child. In order to be left alone, a child should want to assume the responsibility, should not be afraid to stay alone, should be able to follow directions, and should be able to solve problems independently."

But an incident last month in Plano, Texas, sparked important discussions about how old children should be before they are allowed to stay home alone or baby-sit. In mid-August, Shykeema Polk, 13, was home baby-sitting her 6-year-old sister when she heard a crash of glass. She saw a man throwing a brick through her back door, according to a report in The Dallas Morning News. She then saw another man; the two were breaking into the house. Shykeema said she instinctively grabbed her sister and the telephone and locked herself and her sister in their parents’ bathroom. She called 9-1-1 then called her parents. Police quickly arrived and arrested the two intruders. Shykeema and her sister were fine, aside from being deeply shaken. But if Shykeema hadn’t acted with such a level head, the situation could have turned out much worse."

Some of the things I have read that people here have reported seem like obvious bad parenting choices/judgment calls but I wouldn't necessarily think to call CPS for them, like spending too much time on a computer. I am not a FP yet but I know when I am one I will be a mandated reporter, I am worried about making something bigger than it is and ruining someones life or underplaying it and not getting a child help they need. So, here are some specific things I, personally, am Iffy about... 1. Living conditions dirty house-obviously there is a difference between cluttered and dirty. If there are maggots crawling on the counter then obviously that's a health issue, but what about just plain old dirty, like food mashed into the carpet (not a one time thing, always there) and dust/dirt everywhere? What about sleeping arrangements-what if they don't have adequate beds, like they sleep on the floor or couches? Does it make a difference with either of those if they are the *only* complaint you have about their parenting VS a dirty house AND sleeping on the floor and whatever else?"

No legal age for leaving children home alone There’s no one law in Australia that says at what age you can or can’t leave your child home alone. In Queensland if you leave a child under 12 years of age for an ‘unreasonable time’ without supervision you have committed a misdemeanour. However, the legislation also says that whether the time is unreasonable depends on all the relevant circumstances. Elsewhere in Australia, the law says you’re legally obliged to make sure that your child is properly looked after. You’re expected to provide food, clothing, a place to live, safety and supervision. You can be charged with an offence if your child is left in a dangerous situation, not fed, clothed or provided with accommodation. The police or Children, Youth and Family Services can remove children from situations where their safety is in serious danger and where there’s no guardian present.

Share Expert Answer Sarah Schenker Dietitian Wait until your baby is a year old before giving her cow's milk as a main drink. It's fine to use a little cow's milk in your baby's food once she's started on solids. Yoghurt and mild cheese are also fine to feed your baby from six months. But cow's milk as her main drink will leave her short of important nutrients before she's one year old. Between six months and a year, your baby needs breastmilk or formula milk as her main drink, together with iron-rich foods, to keep up her supplies of iron. Your baby won't get enough iron if cow's milk is her main drink. When your baby is a year old, you can give her full-fat cow's milk to drink in a beaker with a soft spout or lidded cup. By then, your baby should be getting most of the iron she needs from her meals. Of course, if you and your baby are happy to continue breastfeeding, that's fine, too."

The American Academy of Pediatrics advises that parents can begin low-fat milk after the age of 2 years. Learn when it's appropriate to start your child on different kinds of cow's milk. Best Milk for Babies Before the age of 12 months, a baby should either be breastfeeding or drinking an iron-fortified infant formula. Cow's milk is not appropriate for babies because it doesn't provide enough of certain nutrients. It is also hard for babies to digest due to its content of protein and fat. Best Milk for Kids After a child is 1 year old, you can introduce cow milk. Before your toddler is 2 years old, unless he has a milk allergy, he should be either breastfeeding or drinking whole milk. After age 2 you can start giving him 2 percent, 1 percent, or skim milk, especially if your child is overweight. The USDA recommends 2 cups of milk daily for age 2 to 3 years."

Keep in mind that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that you not give your toddler low-fat milk until they are two years old unless they are already overweight. A toddler formula is a good alternative if your toddler isn't able to drink whole milk, since they are available in soy and elemental formulations, such as Enfamil Toddler Transitions Soy and Ele Care Jr, etc. Since they are iron fortified, standard toddler formulas may also be a good choice if your toddler is simply a very picky eater. Although some parents consider soy milk, almond milk, or even goat milk as alternatives for cow's milk, since these are all low fat, they may not be good substitutes until your toddler is older. Switching to Whole Milk As far as switching from formula to milk, there are several ways to do it. Many parents just take a 'cold turkey' approach and simply change all of their cups or bottles to whole milk once their infant is twelve months old. This often works if you have an easy going baby that adapts well to change. Only giving juice in a cup, and not in a bottle, can make this easier to do. If you have a child who is more stubborn or resistant to change, than a more gradual approach usually works better."

Lower-fat milks can be an option after two years of age unless otherwise instructed by your baby’s pediatrician. Milk based drinks designed especially for toddlers are another option after 12 months. At one year, your Toddler may be ready to make the switch from breastmilk or formula to cow’s milk. Now that he’s eating a variety of foods, cow’s milk can be part of his healthy diet. Why waiting for his first birthday is important: Cow’s milk doesn’t have the proper amounts of all of the nutrients he needs — especially Iron — during the first year. Cow’s milk doesn’t contain the balance of fats infants need, and may not contain the right types of fats to support brain development like DHA. If you’re still breastfeeding, there’s no need to rush to switch to cow’s milk. Introducing milk is something you can gradually do when you and your child are ready."

Photo by Thinkstock. S everal years ago, after an acquaintance asked me if I’d heard about the controversy, I Googled “cow’s milk” and “kids” and a new world opened up to me—one that hysterically warned me that cow’s milk would cause my child to develop diabetes, obesity, and cancer, among other lovely things. I decided that until I learned more, I would switch my toddler from cow’s milk to a 50–50 mixture of cow’s and almond milk. Just, you know, in case. I’m not alone: Many parents are apparently now questioning the conventional wisdom of feeding kids cow’s milk, turning instead to alternative plant-based “milks” such as soy, almond, cashew, rice, or coconut milk, which they believe are healthier. But the science suggests that this “controversy” is pointless, for several reasons. While cow’s milk isn’t perfect, and some of its benefits may be overtouted, many of the scary claims made about it are overblown."

"text": "\"Feeding Guide for the First Year Making appropriate food choices for your baby during the first year of life is very important. More growth occurs during the first year than at any other time in your child's life. It's important to feed your baby a variety of healthy foods at the proper time. Starting good eating habits at this early stage will help set healthy eating patterns for life. Recommended feeding guide for the first year Don't give solid foods unless your child's doctor advises you to do so. Solid foods should not be started before age 4 months because: Breast milk or formula provides your baby all the nutrients that are needed for growth. Your baby isn't physically developed enough to eat solid food from a spoon. Feeding your baby solid food too early may lead to overfeeding and being overweight. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that all infants, children, and adolescents take in enough vitamin D through supplements, formula, or cow's milk to prevent complications from deficiency of this vitamin. In November 2008, the AAP updated its recommendations for daily intake of vitamin D for healthy infants, children, and adolescents."

It starts when you begin feeding your baby in other ways than breast - or bottle-feeding. And it ends when the child no longer breastfeeds or takes a bottle. This process may last several weeks, a few months, or more than a year. Your baby may begin eating solid foods at about 6 months of age. At this point, you may want to offer cup-feeding to supplement breast - or bottle-feedings. Over the next 6 months, your baby may show signs that he or she is ready to wean. It is important to switch gradually to the cup. Although some mothers stop breast- or bottle-feedings abruptly, the baby may not be ready. Babies find comfort from sucking and also may need the closeness and comfort breast- or bottle-feeding provides."

"text": "The Nutritional Benefits of Almond Milk for Babies For many families, milk is the drink of choice for toddlers. But if you have dairy allergies in your family or you’re concerned about health issues like hormones in cow’s milk, then you might question how healthy milk really is. As a result, many parents consider almond milk as a substitute. But is it an effective substitute? When Can Babies Have Milk? No matter what type of milk you’re switching to, don’t make the change while your baby is still a baby. When your baby is young, they need all the nutrients in breast milk or formula. Regular milk (of any kind) isn’t an appropriate substitute. Ideally, you should wait until after your baby hits their 1st birthday to introduce milk. That means that really, they’ll be a toddler when they try their first sip of cow or almond milk."

"text": "\"Constipation is a common problem for infants and children and is the reason for almost three percent of visits to a pediatrician. What do you need to know and what treatments are available? Definition Constipation is usually defined as having infrequent bowel movements that are hard and painful. This is often the case with older children and adults, but the definition is slightly different in infants. Infants who strain or groan when they have a bowel movement are likely not constipated if their stool is soft, even if they only have a bowel movement every two or three days. It is also important to remember that many infants who are exclusively breastfed only have a bowel movement once every week or two. While there are some medical causes of constipation, such as Hirschsprung's disease, cystic fibrosis, and hypothyroidism, most children who are constipated are in normal health. Warning signs that may indicate a more serious condition is present include vomiting, weight loss, poor weight gain, fever, abdominal distention, having a poor appetite, or being severely constipated since birth. Causes One of the things that is frustrating for parents is trying to understand the causes of their child's constipation. Although some parents understand the role that too much cow's milk, a diet low in fiber, and not drinking enough fluids have in contributing to constipation, they may have other children with the same diet who aren't constipated."

"text": "\"Milk and dairy products, such as cheese and yoghurt, are great sources of protein and calcium and can form part of a healthy, balanced diet. Unsweetened, calcium-fortified dairy alternatives like soya milks, soya yoghurts and soya cheeses also count as part of this food group and can make good alternatives to dairy products. To make healthier choices, go for lower-fat and lower-sugar options. Healthy dairy choices The total fat content of dairy products can vary a lot. To make healthier choices, look at the nutrition information on the label to check the amount of fat, including saturated fat, salt and sugar in the dairy products that you are choosing. Much of the fat in milk and dairy foods is saturated fat. For older children and adults, eating too much fat can contribute to excess energy intakes, leading to becoming overweight. A diet high in saturated fat can also lead to raised levels of cholesterol in the blood, and this can put you at increased risk of a heart attack or stroke. Milk The fat in milk provides calories for young children and also contains essential vitamins. But for older children and adults, it's a good idea to go for lower-fat milks because having too much fat in your diet can result in you becoming overweight."

"text": "\"Feeding Your Baby and Toddler (Birth to Age Two)What do I need to know about feeding my new baby? For the first six months of life, your baby needs only breast milk or infant formula to eat. Breastmilk contains a unique mix of fatty acids, lactose, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and other important factors that combine to make the perfect infant food. It has everything a baby needs for easy digestion, brain development, healthy growth, and protection from illness. Find out more about breastfeeding and formula feeding and about feeding your newborn. In Spanish: Alimentando a su recién nacido. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) states that [1]: Breastfeeding is best for all infants, even premature and sick babies, with rare exceptions. Newborns should be nursed when they show signs of hunger, like being more alert or active, mouthing, or rooting. By the time a baby is crying from hunger, they have already been hungry for a while. In the early weeks, newborns should nurse about 8-12 times every 24 hours, usually for about 10-15 minutes on each breast."

"text": "By Vivian Goldschmidt, MADebunking The Milk Myth: Why Milk Is Bad For You And Your Bones Did you know that in Medieval England parents would tie rabbits’ feet around their babies’ necks to ward off illness? Doctors would also spit on wounds because saliva was believed to have healing properties. Indeed, history is replete with unfounded health beliefs, and to everyone’s detriment, the milk myth is among the most tenacious. Milk is much more than just a drink; it’s a cultural phenomenon that can be traced back thousands of years. And still today, the milk myth resonates loud and clear: in 2001, the average American child consumed 104 quarts of cow’s milk. Milk depletes the calcium from your bones The milk myth has spread around the world based on the flawed belief that this protein and calcium-rich drink is essential to support good overall health and bone health in particular at any age. It is easy to understand that the confusion about milk’s imaginary benefits stems from the fact that it contains calcium – around 300 mg per cup. But many scientific studies have shown an assortment of detrimental health effects directly linked to milk consumption. And the most surprising link is that not only do we barely absorb the calcium in cow’s milk (especially if pasteurized), but to make matters worse, it actually increases calcium loss from the bones. What an irony this is!Here’s how it happens."

"text": "\"Rice milk is one of several types of milk that are made from grain and can be used as substitutes for animals' milk. No animal products are used during the production of this beverage, so most vegans and vegetarians consider it an acceptable alternative to animals' milk. It also does not contain lactose, so it is suitable for people who are lactose-intolerant, and it can be used to create dairy substitutes such as coffee creamers and ice creams. Although it has very little protein, it does provide carbohydrates and is often fortified with essential vitamins. Many health food stores sell grain milks, and common grocery stores might carry them in designated areas. Some is shipped in paper containers similar to those containing cow's milk and is kept refrigerated to prevent spoilage. Other producers ship it in aseptic containers, which eliminate the need for it to be refrigerated before it is opened. Rice milk generally has a shelf life of nine months or more before it has been opened and one to two weeks after it has been opened. Making It at Home In some countries, commercially made rice milk — especially the refrigerated versions — can be expensive because of a combination of shipping costs and low demand. In response to these higher retail prices, many people create their own versions at home."

"text": "\"Your baby's first solid foods Introducing your baby to solid foods – sometimes called weaning or complementary feeding – should start when your baby is around 6 months old. How much your baby eats is less important to begin with than getting them used to the idea of eating. They will still be getting most of their nutrients from breast milk or first infant formula. Begin by offering food at a time that suits you both. You'll be able to gradually increase the amount and variety of food your baby eats until they can eat small portions of the same food as the rest of the family. When to start weaning your baby Babies get most of the nutrients they need from breast milk or first infant formula until they are around 6 months old. If you are breastfeeding, having breast milk alone up to the age of around 6 months will help protect your baby against illness and infections. Breast milk will carry on protecting them for as long as you carry on feeding.

In Children Issues, Contested Divorces on February 5, 2011 at 5:17 am I am frequently asked at what age can a child choose which parent he/she wants to live with. There is clearly a misunderstanding about children choosing who they want to live with. In Texas, children do not get to choose who they want to live with. Section 153.009 of the Texas Family Code does allow for children to have a voice on the subject. The law allows for a party to request for the judge to confer with a child. Once a request is made for a judge to confer with a child, the judge must talk with children 12 years of age and older and may talk with children under the age of 12. Therefore, the law allows for children to state their preference, it does not allow them to choose. The interview is merely evidence courts can use to make its decision. The court’s decision is ultimately based on what is in the best interest of the children."

Instead, there are a number of factors that should be considered, including the child's emotional maturity, the layout and safety of the home, the neighborhood where the home is located, the child's ability to respond to an emergency, and whether the child has a mental, physical, or medical disability.

"text": "Can a Child Choose in a custody fight? An extremely common question asked of child custody attorneys and divorce attorneys is: At what age can a child choose which parent she wants to live. The answer astounds many clients because the answer is “never”. Now before everyone reaches for the keyboard to flash flame the author, think about it. What the law allows, and in fact demands, is that a child who is at least 12 years of age may make his or her desires known to the Judge as long as the Judge is the person making the determination of with whom the child will live. Texas Family Code 153.009 provides that in a nonjury trial or at a hearing, any party to the suit (that is either parent, any lawyer involved, any legal representative of the child, or the Judge himself) can make an application and the Judge must interview the child in chambers to determine the child’s wishes as to conservatorship or as to the person who shall have the exclusive right to determine the child’s primary residence for the child. However, the code further provides at 153.009 (c) that the interview “does not diminish the discretion of the court in determining the best interest of the child”. As long as the child is twelve (12) years of age, the Judge has no choice in granting the interview. If any party asks for the interview, the judge must conduct the interview. If the child is under the age of twelve, the interview is completely at the discretion of the Judge."

She was one of the few consumer representatives at this meeting. What is Meningitis? Meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges of your brain; basically, it's a brain inflammation. It can be caused by a few different kinds of organisms, including Neisseria meningococcal—which the meningococcal vaccine is geared toward—pneumococcal bacteria (Streptococcus pneumoniae), and Haemophilus influenza B. (The very first vaccines, smallpox, rabies vaccines, as well as other vaccines like pertussis, MMR and hepatitis B vaccine, can also cause brain inflammation in individual cases. ) Signs and symptoms of meningitis include: Severe headache High fever In babies: high pitched screaming and arching of the back Rigid head and neck and extreme pain when trying to put your chin to your chest Vomiting Diarrhea Convulsions Confusion Meningococcal disease is a serious disease that can result in the loss of limbs, brain damage, and death. The onset and progression can be swift, and requires urgent medical attention. So when you notice the kinds of symptoms listed above, you need to get checked out immediately. Fortunately, meningitis can be effectively treated with intravenous antibiotics if caught in time, but therein also lies the crux. \"\""

Private school education is also an option, as long as the minimum state compulsory attendance requirements are met. States differ on the minimum age to begin your education.

It is a broad specialty that covers everything from general practice to the specialty of children’s oncology. Caring for a child is very different from caring for an adult and the reason is that children have unique medical issues and condition that adults do not. Also their different body size can pose some unique treatment challenges. A pediatrician should have a lot of patience because sometimes a child can be difficult to exam, give shots to, do blood work on, etc. Job description of a pediatrician A pediatrician will do general health exams, exams so a child can play sports like football, soccer, etc, in school, gives vaccinations and shots that a child needs throughout their childhood and are required by schools to have before attending and while attending school, giving flu shots, and treating an assortment of diseases and illnesses like pneumonia, colds, sore throats, etc. If there is a more serious problem they will generally refer them to a specialist that works in the field where there is a problem. The specialist would be considered a pediatrician specialist in such fields as ophthalmology, surgery, psychology, neurology, etc. In addition to working with children that come into your practice sick you will also have to deal with other family members."

"text": "State Child Care Assistance Programs Updated January 10, 2018 by Dawn Leeadvertisement Child care can be expensive. The average fee for full-time care ranges from approximately $4,800 to $17,000 a year, depending on where the family lives, the type of care, and the age of the child. The average cost of full-time infant care is most expensive in Massachusetts and least expensive in Mississippi. These costs far exceed what a mother working full-time at the minimum wage typically can afford on her own. Child Care Assistance Programs (CCAP) — also known as Child Care Subsidies, help eligible families with children younger than 13 pay for child care. In cases in which health or other disabilities exist, older children may also be eligible for the program. The program pays for part of the daycare costs, while parents co-pay for a portion based on the size of the family and the amount of their income. The list below highlights Child Care Subsidy Program offered in each of the 50 states, from Alabama to Wyoming — each with its own eligibility guidelines and application process. Alabama Alabama CCAP is the state subsidy program targeted at low-income Alabama families who need help paying for child care. It provides assistance with payment for child care on a sliding fee basis for eligible parents."

Texas I'm writing on behalf of a 17 year old that wants/\"\"needs\"\" to move away from her home. She has a place lined up, has a job, and will continue school. We've consulted two legal sources and one police officer that have all said that at the age of 17 she can move out, and legally there's nothing her parents could do to \"\"force\"\" her to come back or to prevent her from leaving. She would have to declare she is moving first, and then make it known where it is she is moving to. She would have to keep up her grades, and any legal complications (parking tickets, or arrests), her parents would still be liable for. Unless she is in any danger or feels she was pushed into moving, she can leave consentingly and no legal recourse can be taken towards her hosts. Like I said, we've contacted two lawyers and one police officer who have given the advice, and all seem to agree that while there's no physical abuse or obvious neglect, the situation she's in is something more than she should be dealing with and they all feel she would be capable of making a sound decision in regards to moving out.

"text": "\"In Utah, the wishes of a child are one factor a court may consider when determining the custody arrangement following a divorce. As the child gets older, the court may give more weight to the child's custodial preference. However, even if the child is over 16 years old, the child's wishes likely will not be the determining factor. Custody Overview As in all states, courts in Utah are primarily concerned with what is in the best interest of the child when making custody determinations. In this light, courts may consider the wishes of the child, but the court will also consider a number of other factors that indicate what is in the child's best interest. For example, the court will consider the moral fitness of each parent, the physical distance between the parents, the health and emotional needs of the child, the relationship the child has with each parent, evidence of domestic violence, and similar factors. Divorce is never easy, but we can help. Learn More Weight of Child's Wishes Although the court may consider the wishes of the child when determining custody, a child's preference will not override every other best interest factor. In other words, even if the child insists that he wants to live with one parent, the judge is not obligated to follow the child's wishes, but instead will consider them along with other factors. If the child is older, the court may place more weight on the wishes of the child, particularly if the child is 16 or older."

"text": "My Legal Briefcase Is it true that a child can decide which parent he/she wants to live with at age 14? Posted: Notice: Undefined property: std Class::$post_date in /var/www/webapp/ui/mlb_faq.php on line 96There is no set age for a child to have attained before a court will honour or respect his/her wishes. Parents often believe that there is a magic age where a child can just decide on his/her own to move from one parent to another. Where a custody and access order exists, an access parent who does not return the child to the custodial parent is in breach of that order. The correct thing for the access parent to do is to bring an application to the court to vary the custody order before the child moves. Many parents don?t want to do this because they don?t want to spend the money or they don?t think they have to get a new court order. There is no guarantee that a court will respect the wishes of a 14-year old or a 15-year old, although clearly these wishes will be given a good deal of consideration. The court may want evidence as to the child?s maturity or evidence that the child is not being pressured or bribed to change residences. A 13- or 14-year old may want to live with a parent for any number reasons, some of which may not be beneficial to the child, and a court will want to know what reasons the child has for wanting to change his or her residence. The wishes of a 14-year old who wants to live with the father because the father doesn?t make her go to school are likely not to be given great weight by a court."

"text": "Can Children Choose Which Parent They Want to Live? Attorneys are often asked in consultations: “When can my child choose where he wants to live?” or “When my child turns 12, she can tell the court she wants to live with me and they will let her, right?”The laws vary from state to state as it relates to whether a child has a true right to choose which parent they want to live with. Attorneys often hear from clients that they have heard from relatives or friends that a child can choose where they want to live when they reach a certain age. This magical age is usually believed to be 12, 13, or 14. Clients tend to believe when a child reaches one of these ages they have an inherent right or a “child’s right” to chose the custodial arrangement they want. Can my child choose which parent they want to live with? There is no magical age in which a child has a right to choose the custodial arrangement. The answer can be complicated and is often “situation specific”, i.e., every family is different and thus custody will depend on the situation of that particular family. Depending on both the quality of your family relationships and the degree of court or other third-party involvement with your marital separation, the answer to whether or not your child can choose which parent to live with can be complicated."

"text": "22 Nov At What Age Can My Child Decide Where To Live? Family Law, Parenting children, court, emancipation, Parenting Evaluator We regularly get asked at what age can a child decide which parent she or he will live with. I was asked this again just the other day. Frequently, the person asking is under the impression that a child can make their own decision after they turn 12; I am not sure where this persistent rumor comes from but it may have something to do with parents thinking custody in the event of their death. While I cannot speak to the laws of other states, under Washington State law, an unemancipated person under the age of 18 does not have the ability to make their own residential decisions. The parents (and sometimes the court) are the ones who are empowered to make those and most other decisions for the child. Once a person turns 18, they are an adult and can make their own decisions. Basically, it comes down to the idea that we don’t let children make decisions for their parents, we allow parents to make decisions for their children. This does not mean, however, that the child may not have a voice. Under Washington State law, when making residential decisions the court may consider “the wishes of a child who is sufficiently mature to express reasoned and independent preferences”."

Each individual will have to make his/her own decision on this one. Some young players have been very successful while others have failed miserably at the quest. It will be my intent in this post to bring light on both advantages as well as disadvantages when considering a very young child’s first experience on a musical instrument. Important issues to consider when starting a child on a musical instrument-Does the child have any interest in beginning an instrument? If the child has asked to begin playing an instrument, it is usually prompted by one of a few influences. Many times the young person has been impressed with a musician on television or at a concert and because of this interest; they decide that they would like to perform also. This is commendable and nothing should be done to discourage this interest and selection of one particular instrument. In most cases, young people are impressed by the electric guitar or the drum set."

"text": "\"Most state courts are well aware that children – particularly teenagers – can have firm feelings of their own concerning their parents' divorces. In all but one state – Massachusetts – judges are either obligated to listen to a child's preferences regarding custody or they're permitted to do so if the situation warrants it. Most states' family laws include specific provisions for this, but in 11 states, the trend has developed through case law, in which judges have listened to children and ruled accordingly in landmark cases. Age Limit With or without specific statutes, most states do not set a definitive age at which a child is old enough to voice her opinion regarding which parent she wants to live with. In those that do, the magic number is often a teenage year; the older your child is, the more likely it is the court will listen to her. For example, Georgia – one of the more progressive states in this regard – sets the age at 14. Generally, however, it's incumbent upon the judge to decide whether a child is mature enough to have a reasonable opinion.

"text": "Divorce Attorney in Merrill WI: At What Age Can a Child Decide Which Parent to Live With?by: Dale Eaton Find out how our custody & placement lawyers can assist you. As a divorce attorney in Merrill WI, I am often asked questions such as: “At what age can a child choose which parent he wants to live with?” or “Isn’t it true that a 14 year old can choose which parent to live with?”Based upon the frequency with which I am asked these types of questions, it’s clear that many parents believe that children should be or are allowed to decide where they should live upon reaching some “magical age. ”In a Wisconsin divorce, if the parties cannot reach an agreement regarding physical placement of the child (ren), the court will allocate periods of physical placement of the child between the parties. In doing so, the court is required to consider a number of factors, only one of which is the wishes of the child. To be clear, in Wisconsin, there is no magical age at which a minor child may decide with whom he or she wants to live. Once a child turns 18, he or she is legally an adult, and may, at that time, chose for him/herself where to live. That said, it is likely that, the older a child is, the more his or her preferences tend to influence the judge. When a 16-year-old’s well-reasoned and well-articulated preference for being with one parent the majority of the time, for example, will likely be accorded more weight than that of an 8-year-old. Even if primary placement is granted to one parent, the placement schedule must allow a child to have regularly occurring, meaningful periods of physical placement with each parent and must maximize the time spent with each parent, taking into account geographic distance and accommodations for different households."

When you decide to separate or divorce, you will need to make parenting arrangements for your children. This is easiest when you and the other parent have a co-parenting relationship where you focus on your children. For more information on co-parenting relationships, see Section 3: Parenting After Separation—Focusing on Your Children. When making parenting arrangements, there are three main types of decisions that you'll need to make: How will you decide on things like your children's education, health and religion? Where will the children live and how much time will they spend with each of you? How will you settle any parenting issues that come up in the future? Best interests of the child When you are deciding on parenting arrangements, it's important to focus on the best interests of your children. While there is no precise definition of the \"\" best interests of the child \"\", one way to think about it is to consider what parenting arrangement will best encourage your children's development, happiness and success. This isn't an easy question to answer, as it will depend on many factors."

Many of our clients want to know whether their child or children can choose which parent to live with in South Carolina. The answer is more complicated that a straightforward “yes” or “no.” In South Carolina, there is no exact age when a child may choose to live with one parent or the other. This article examines all of the factors involved in deciding whether a child’s preference carries any importance with a family court judge. The Older the Child Is, The More Likely the Child Can Choose Which Parent to Live with in South Carolina Under South Carolina law, a child is a person who is under the age of 18.

Instead, the court decides how much how much importance to give the child’s preferences based upon the child’s age, experience, maturity, judgment, and ability to express a preference. Obviously, the older a child is, the more weight a family court judge is likely to place on the child’s preference for custody."

I’m always amazed that some folks seem to think that just because I’m an author of fly fishing books for kids that I know a thing or two about teaching kids how to fly fish. Remember the old adage: If you can’t do something, write about it. Or something like that ;). That being said I wish some of the current kids’ fly rods were available when I started my own son out on his journey into fly fishing. He began by using a 9 foot 5wt graphite rod that had been relegated to backup status in my quiver rods. I was a bit hesitant to have him use this rod partially because it might’ve been a bit long for him to handle at first. But I’ll be honest: my real hesitation lie in the fact that I was worried he’d break or otherwise trash my equipment! Fortunately my son has always had a knack for anything involving movements of the arm that resemble a throwing type motion (rocks, baseballs, etc). He was always pretty coordinated as a youngster, and the basics of fly casting came fairly easily to him and my gear suffered no serious damage."

With spring break right around the corner, you might be gearing up to send your kid off to visit Grandma alone for the first time, or to visit her preschool BFF who has since moved to a different state. That’s where airline unaccompanied minor programs come in. For a fee (usually around $100, and usually not covered by Frequent Flyer Miles or airline memberships), most airlines allow kids ages 5-14 to fly alone, with guaranteed supervision from the airplane staff. Different airlines impose additional guidelines, like stating that flyers younger than eight must fly non-stop, or that red-eye flights are forbidden for the pint-sized.

Ear anatomy The ear has three sections: the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. Each section is made up of smaller parts that work together to help you hear. Causes of otitis media The Eustachian tube connects the ear to the back of the throat and helps ventilate (air) and drain the middle ear. Otitis media occurs when mucus or swollen tissues from a cold block the Eustachian tube. The blockage has two main results. It prevents the tube from ventilating the middle ear."

Airlines are free to enforce any rules they want, and no two airlines will have exactly the same polices.

Most airlines have a minimum age for their unaccompanied child service, typically five, and a maximum age, typically 12. Children younger than the minimum age will have to travel with an adult. If your child is appears to be beyond the age limit set by the airline, you or your child may be asked to provide some kind of proof of the child's age, so be prepared to have appropriate documentation to the airport."

Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Ideally, your baby should be at least 2 to 3 months old before he flies. This will give his immune system a chance to grow strong enough to resist the germs that often make the rounds in airplane ventilation systems. It also gives the two of you enough time to settle into a routine and master the art of breast- or bottle-feeding. If you can't wait that long, your baby should be okay to fly after his 2-week checkup — provided he has a clean bill of health and you had a full-term pregnancy without complications. Premature babies are especially susceptible to germs, so it may take longer before they're ready to go on an airplane trip."

Infants then move to a rearfacing (RF) convertible seats and MUST remain RF until at least 1 year AND 20lbs, but should remain RF until the limits of the seat (30-35lbs in the US). Children then move forward facing (FF) in a harnessed seat. Forward facing harnessed seats are outgrown when a child reaches the weight limit, or more commonly when the child's shoulders are above the top harness slots. If the child is 4 years AND 40lbs, then he may move to a booster with vehicle lap shoulder belt seatbelt. If not, then the child needs a larger FF harnessed seat. There are many seats that harness to 55-80lbs. Some are the Britax Marathon, Decathalon, Boulevard, Frontier and Regent; the Sunshine Kids Radian; the Evenflo Triumph ADVANCE; the Graco Nautilus and the Cosco/Safety First Apex."

"text": "Home » Airplane • Safety » Flying with Kids & Carseats – the checked carseat controversy Flying with Kids & Carseats – the checked carseat controversy Posted by Kecia On October 8, 2012 In Airplane, Safety 25 Comments RECOMMENDED CARSEATS | COMPARE | DEALSThe issue of how to best handle flying with kids and their carseats is something that comes up repeatedly on the Car-Seat.org forum. Many safety-conscious parents will bring the carseat with them knowing that their child will need to use it once they reach their destination. I applaud all those parents for doing the right thing! However, for a variety of reasons, most parents don’t actually bring the carseat onto the plane and use it for their child during the flight. I suspect that many of those checked seats that I see on the baggage carousel belong to children who wound up as lap babies on the flight. For the record, here at Carseat Blog we always recommend that you buy a ticket for your child (regardless of their age), bring their carseat and use it on the plane. Regardless of why parents chose to check their carseats, the fact remains that most travelers flying with CRs in tow do check them instead of lugging them through security and using them on the plane. And seats checked with regular luggage probably get tossed around and manhandled the same way luggage does. I somehow doubt that the baggage guys suddenly look at the carseat and decide to handle it with care so they don’t crack the EPS foam, know what I mean? But what if you’ve already traveled with your carseat and checked it?"

"text": "\"How to Help a Young Child Travel Alone on an Airplane In most cases, a minor traveler can fly alone between the ages of 12 and 17 without any restrictions or special services. Unaccompanied minors, or UMs as they are called in the industry, are solo travelers between age 5 and 12 to 15, depending on the airline. Each airline has its own set of fees and procedures that dictate everything from reserving UM travel to the level of extra staff attention and service such a child will receive during a trip. With careful planning, you can prepare your child and help ensure that his flight alone goes smoothly. Compare flight options to find the ideal itinerary. Choose the simplest schedule to limit the occurrence of air travel problems, such as flight delays or missed connections. Contact the airline to clarify its UM policies and procedures, then make your child's reservation. You must book UM travel and pay related fees directly with the airline by phone. Get a direct UM number you or your child can call during his trip should he encounter problems or have questions. Request a gate pass to accompany your child to the departure gate."

Is Driving or Flying Better to Travel With an Infant? How to Travel on a Plane With a 4-Month-Old Baby How to Travel With Babies on Long Plane Rides How Early Should You Take a Newborn on a Plane? What to Take on a Plane for a 1-Year-Old A plane ticket for a domestic flight might cost more than the rent on your first apartment, so shelling out that much for your baby's ticket, too, is downright painful. Luckily, many airlines allow infants to fly for free, but this isn't always the most comfortable option. Consult both your airline and pediatrician before any trip with a little one. When He'll Ride Free If you're taking a domestic flight with your infant, your airline will likely allow the baby to fly at no cost -- provided you hold him on your lap throughout the flight. Generally, American Airlines allows children younger than two years of age to fly for free with a parent or another adult over the age of 18. You'll save cash, though you'll likely be uncomfortable after a short time unless you're traveling with a partner or other adult who can take turns holding the baby. If the plane's not full, you might be able to persuade the gate agent to book you next to an empty seat so your little guy will end up with his own seat after all."

Hi guys, hoping someone can give me some idea, i am 4 months pregnant and will be going home to the Uk from USA very soon and will be staying there to give birth, i want to get back to the usa as soon as i can, is there an age the baby will have to be before it can fly? Follow 2 answers Answers Best Answer: As long as your child has had a check-up with the doctor and everything is fine, your child will be safe to fly almost immediately after birth. I have seen children as young as 1 day old fly. Make sure that even after your initial visit to the doctor, you take your child for another check-up right before you leave. The only thing that might hold you up is the passport. Unless you are able to add him on as a dependent to your passport, your baby will need his/her own. When I went to have my first international flight with my son, he had his Tunisian passport. I was informed by the US Embassy here that since I am American, he automatically has US citizenship and will need a US Passport in order to enter the US. Thankfully, the Embassy grants passports faster than they do in the US itself!"

If you're traveling with an infant or small child, you should know that proper use of a Child Restraint System (CRS) enhances child safety on aircraft. For this reason, Southwest Airlines and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) strongly recommend that infants and small children who weigh 40 pounds or less be secured in an appropriate CRS when traveling by air. See below for additional information. Traveling with the infant on your lap on a domestic flight: One child over 14 days old and under two (2) years of age, not occupying a seat, may be carried free of charge when traveling with an adult (12 years of age or older). Although a boarding pass is not required for the infant, you will need a Boarding Verification Document. See below for additional information. Traveling with the infant in an FAA-approved car seat: Infant Fares are available that enable a Customer to reserve a seat for an infant and use his/her FAA-approved car seat. A boarding pass is required. Online checkin is available if the infant traveling on an Infant Fare is age verified."

Flag What is the age of sexual consent in South Carolina? Answer by Macky Confidence votes 19.5KThe age of sexual consent in South Carolina is 16. Basically, any sexual act with a person 14, 15, or 16 by another person who is 6+ years older can result in a Class B1 felony. If a sexual act takes place with a person 14, 15, or 16 by another person between 4 and 6 years older, it can result in a Class C felony. Most often, \"\"sexual act\"\" refers to \"\"vaginal intercourse,\"\" but can take on different meanings, depending on how serious the matter is. In South Carolina specifically, people 18 years old or younger can have consensual sex with someone as young as 14. South Carolina law also allows prosecutors to try for the death penalty for people who have been convicted twice of having sex with someone under the age of 11. Constitutional law and statutory law for the AOC for South Carolina are conflicting in nature, to say the least. SC Constitution Section 33 sets the AOC at 14."

"text": "Maithreyi Gowda, lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India Answered Jun 21, 2017 · Author has 207 answers and 304.8k answer views Blood donation is a life-saving act which helps in improving one’s health condition. Anyone who gives blood during emergency are applauded for their selfless act that has the ability to enhance the lives of up to three recipients at a time. But there may be reasons wherein you will be denied of an opportunity to donate blood to their own family during emergencies and the reason is “shocking”. The reason for this is their “ new tattoo ” that can affect the blood donation. The reason for this denial is a precaution against cross-contamination & diseases like hepatitis, HIV etc. For this reason Blood banks recommend waiting of 6 to 12 months to allow the tattoo’s design to properly heal. It is always important to check that the artist uses sealed needles before getting any work done mainly to avoid blood borne diseases which may spread by needles. The blood donated by such people carries the risk of being infection & other diseases like hepatitis B, hepatitis C and in rare cases HIV. Studies have revealed that there are 10-30 per cent chances of transfusion of hepatitis B virus infection through infected needles. And in many of the blood banks, a tattoo is acceptable in blood donation if it was applied by a state-regulated or from licensed tattoo shop using sterile needles and ink that is not reused."

There are several different types of child safety seats, including infant seats, convertible seats, and booster seats. Each type of seat has specific age, height, and weight restrictions, and must be installed in a particular way. The law in New Mexico requires all children up to their 7th birthday, regardless of weight, and all children less than 60 pounds, regardless of age, to ride in a child safety seat (car seat or booster seat). The law also states that children ages 7 to 12 must ride in a booster seat until the adult seat belt fits them properly. What type of seat does my child need? Rear-Facing Child Safety Seat Young children have heavy heads and small, flexible bodies. Facing the back of a car, truck, or van in a rear-facing car seat is safer than facing forward, because the child safety seat supports the child's head and neck and spreads energy across the entire back and body in case of a crash. By law, all children must remain rear facing until they are at least 1 year of age and 20 pounds; however, children between the ages of 1 and 2 are 5 times less likely to be injured in a crash rear facing compared to forward facing!"

QAt what age, height, and weight do you take your child out of a front-facing safety seat and use a booster seat in the car? AThere are general guidelines that are given for moving a child to a booster seat. In part, it does depend upon what type of car seat you have and on what type of booster seat you're planning to use. There are some car seats that are engineered to continue to support a child appropriately up through 60 pounds and in that case they may be able to go straight from the car seat into a regular seat belt. However, there are some car seats that are generally made for children up to 40 pounds and, at that point, they will usually go into a booster seat in the car. Most booster seats are made for children to start using at 40 pounds. You really want to make your choice based on the weight and height of your child rather than the specific age. The key feature to keep in mind when you're putting your child into a booster seat is to make sure that the seat belt that you use in the car will still work properly and will fit the child in the proper position if it goes across the shoulder."

NYS law requires children under age eight to be restrained in an appropriate child safety restraint system. An appropriate child restraint system is one that meets the child's size and weight and the specifications of the manufacturer of such system. A child restraint system may be a child safety seat, harness, vest or a booster seat. The vehicle's safety belt alone is not a child restraint system. More information about NYS's law on child passenger safety can be found on the Governor's Traffic Safety Committee website. What is a booster seat? A belt-positioning booster seat is a child restraint that provides the needed lift so that the lap and shoulder belt fit properly.

The use of any booster seat will improve your child's safety, and likely his comfort as well. Chances are, however, that a high-back booster seat will be better on both fronts than a backless booster. ( See our latest booster car seat Ratings . ) A booster seat's most important job is to properly position a vehicle seat belt across a child's chest, shoulder, and hips. Data has shown that boosters reduce the risk of injury for children aged 4 to 8 years by 45 percent versus children of a similar age that are restrained using the vehicle belts alone. ( See our car seat timeline and buying advice to figure out which seat is best for your child, no matter the age. ) Many backless boosters do a decent job of positioning the lap belt on a child's hips. But in vehicles where the upper belt anchors don't fall exactly in line with the child's shoulder, backless boosters are less likely to provide a good fit. High-back boosters have upper back guides that, in most cases, position the shoulder belt properly and keep it in place."

This can cause serious injuries to the head, neck or spine. If the lap only belt is crossing over the child's stomach, it should not be used.

The recommendation to go into a booster seat is both 4 years old AND 40 lbs. This is because before age 4, the bone development of a child will not be able to withstand the forces of a crash with a 3 point belt. It does not matter how tall your son is or how much he weighs as if he is under age 4, he should remain in a 5 point harness seat. A harness seat is outgrown forward facing when ONE of the following happens: -his shoulders are above the top harness slot -when the tips of his ears are even with the shell of the car seat -when he hits the maximum weight limit I wanted to mention that overall height doesn't matter."

By: Elizabeth Grace - Updated: 28 Mar 2018 | *Discuss Tweet We get lots of questions about child car seats, children in the front seats of cars, what age a child can stop using a car seat, use a booster seat instead etc. The main things to remember are: Child under 3 - If there is no room for a 3rd child seat in the back seat (because of children/child seats already in the back) a 3rd child under the age of 3 MUST NOT travel unless they are in the front WITH the correct child seat Child over 3 - If there is no room for the third child seat in the rear, then a child over 3 can sit in the back using an adult belt Child over 3 and up to 135cm - If there is no room for a third child over the age of 3 in the rear then they can use the front seat WITH the correct child seat Children over 3 years of age and up to 135cm (or 12 years of age) - MUST use the correct child seat (usually the type of car seat needed varies according to a child's weight)Where a child over 3 and up to 12 (or 135cm) is using an appropriate seat, this should be used in the rear where possible My son, who is 7 years old and 140cm tall, was picked up from school today by a friend but she was stopped by a traffic warden and advised that he is not allowed in the front seat unless he is over 16 and that he does require a booster seat. From reading the info on this site I understand that as long as he exceeds 135cm, he does not need a booster seat, and I cannot see anything documented that states he cannot sit in the front seat of a car. Can you help? While the laws regarding the transport of children are specific, they can be a bit confusing. Although you didn’t specifically say that your son was wearing a seat belt when your friend was stopped by the traffic warden, I’m assuming that he was. According to current law in the UK, your friend was not acting unlawfully in transporting your son, so the traffic warden was out of line to suggest that she was. If he was unbelted, however, then he would not have been allowed to ride in the front seat and the warden was partially correct. With regards to car seat laws in the UK, here are the specifics that apply to your son, at age 7 and 140cm."

Infants then move to a rearfacing (RF) convertible seats and MUST remain RF until at least 1 year AND 20lbs, but should remain RF until the limits of the seat (30-35lbs in the US). Children then move forward facing (FF) in a harnessed seat. Forward facing harnessed seats are outgrown when a child reaches the weight limit, or more commonly when the child's shoulders are above the top harness slots. If the child is 4 years AND 40lbs, then he may move to a booster with vehicle lap shoulder belt seatbelt. If not, then the child needs a larger FF harnessed seat. There are many seats that harness to 55-80lbs.

"text": "The General History of Car Seats Posted on Jul 16, 2015 in Car Seat Safety by Amie 14 Comments When you ponder the history of car seats and look at the dates of when advances actually took place from the creation to acceptance and from the regulation to the legal requirement of usage, you may wonder if it’s because of critics that things took so long. There always seems to be critics especially when innovations are first developed. While originally, “child seats” started out as nothing more than burlap sacks with a drawstring that hung over the headrest on the passenger’s seat. Later in 1933, Bunny Bear Company produced a seat that was basically booster seats, propping backseat riders up so parents could keep an eye them. In the 40s, manufacturers released canvas seats on a metal frame that attached to the car’s front seat so the child could get a better view out the windshield. Image: mentalfloss.com Early car seats were designed simply to lift the child to allow him to look out the window and to keep the child more or less in one spot in the car. This is really not surprising. After all, occupant safety wasn’t in top form in the early days of automobiles. It wasn’t until 1959 that a 3-point seat belt (lap-shoulder belt) was even available in cars. It took 30 some years before car seats were considered as possible safety devices."

Besides the obvious matter of child safety, the fines for failing to observe these laws are steep and will take a chunk out of your vacation budget!

Let us know if you're either in town or coming to town and we'll deliver a carseat rental your way!From the York, Maine, Police Department's Facebook page: Everyone should know by now that everyone needs to be “properly” secured in a seatbelt. That means the shoulder strap must go over your shoulder. If the strap is behind your back or under your arm you are not “properly” secured in a seatbelt and can be fined. Other questions we are asked is about children and when can they ride in the front seat and when can they be out of a booster seat. When can my child ride in the front seat?

Many jurisdictions require children defined by age, weight, and/or height to use a government-approved child safety seat when riding in a vehicle.

"text": "Leaving Kids Home Alone – At What Ages Are They Ready? By Susan Borowski Posted in: Kids Share 36 Tweet Pin 1 Comments 4It’s tempting to try to save money by eliminating daycare or a babysitter to care for your children in your absence. Although being home alone can help kids learn to be independent, it is imperative for them to be mature enough to handle the responsibility. Kids mature at different rates, so going by age alone is not necessarily the answer. Open and honest communication between you and your children can help you make a determination. However, there are additional guidelines that you must consider as well. How to Determine Readiness Readiness to be home alone depends on both age and maturity, and both must be taken into account for your child’s venture into this new area of responsibility to be successful.1. Take Age Into Account A recent U. S. Census showed that 7 million of the nation’s 38 million children between the ages of 5 and 14 are left home alone on a regular basis, while the average time spent alone is six hours per week. This might be fine for older kids, but it may not be safe for younger children. Only a handful of states legislate at which age a child can legally be left home alone: Both Maryland and North Carolina prohibit children under the age of 8 from being left alone."

No more than one member of a dual military couple may be reimbursed for the expenses for the adoption of the same child. Couples where both spouses are members of a military service may not receive reimbursement under the program totaling more than $5,000 in any calendar year. Benefits are only payable after the adoption is final. Requests for reimbursements must be submitted not later than one year after finalization of the adoption.

"text": "\"What Are the Laws on Teenagers Leaving Home By Amy Newman Attorney Source The teen years are filled with angst and a touch of drama, as teenagers push against the boundaries their parents place on them. Many may even occasionally dream of what it would be like to live on their own, or at least with the \"\"cool family\"\" down the street. For most teenagers, these are just fantasies, but for others, the desire and need to leave is very real. When Can Teens Leave Home Legally? Teens may legally leave home when they reach the age of majority. The age of majority in most states is 18 years old, except for the following: In Alabama and Nebraska, the age of majority is 19. In Mississippi, the age of majority is 21. If a teen chooses to move out of his parents' house when he reaches the age of majority, he will be legally responsible for his support and maintenance. If a teen is still attending high school when he reaches the age of majority and continues to live with his parents, they are obligated to continue to support him until he completes high school. Runaways The National Runaway Switchboard reports that 30 percent of teens run away, and they do so for a variety of reasons including: Family dynamics A desire for more freedom Child abuse or neglect Alcohol and drug use (either by themselves or their parents)Sexual orientation The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention defines a runaway as a child who meets one of the following criteria: Leaves home without his parent or guardian's permission and stays away overnight Is 14 years of age or younger, away from home with his parent or guardian's permission, but chooses not to return and stays away one night Is 15 years of age or older, away from home with his parent or guardian's permission, but chooses not to return and stays away two nights."

"text": "\"Emancipation Law and Legal Definition Emancipation is when a minor has achieved independence from his or her parents, such as by getting married before reaching age 18 or by becoming fully self-supporting. It may be possible for a child to petition a court for emancipation to free the minor child from the control of parents and allow the minor to live on his/her own or under the control of others. It usually applies to adolescents who leave the parents' household by agreement or demand. Some of the most common methods for a minor to become emancipated include marriage, reaching the age of majority, entering military service, or by court order. A parent may also formally or informally agree to give up some or all of his/her parental control. For example, a parent might consent to allowing a child to establish a separate household. In other cases, a parent may force the minor to leave and support him/herself. Generally, parental consent is required, except in cases of parental misconduct that causes the mnior to leave the home. Emancipation may cease to make a parent liable for the acts of a child, including debts, negligence or criminal acts. State laws on emancipation vary, so local laws should be consulted for specific requirements in your area."

One can adopt a stepchild, a relative or a person unrelated to them. It is also possible to adopt an adult. A single person can adopt, as can an unmarried couple or a gay person or couple. Adoptions usually include a change of name of the person being adopted. In order to be able to adopt in Oregon, either the adoptive parent or the placing parent or the person being adopted must have been an Oregon resident for at least six months. Also, note that a child who is 14 or older must consent to his or her own adoption. Information for Birthparents Any decision to place a child must be yours alone, without undue influence from any other person. You are very strongly encouraged to consult a licensed adoption agency and/or an attorney of your own choice in making your adoption plan and have them work with you throughout the process.

Texas I'm writing on behalf of a 17 year old that wants/\"\"needs\"\" to move away from her home. She has a place lined up, has a job, and will continue school. We've consulted two legal sources and one police officer that have all said that at the age of 17 she can move out, and legally there's nothing her parents could do to \"\"force\"\" her to come back or to prevent her from leaving. She would have to declare she is moving first, and then make it known where it is she is moving to. She would have to keep up her grades, and any legal complications (parking tickets, or arrests), her parents would still be liable for. Unless she is in any danger or feels she was pushed into moving, she can leave consentingly and no legal recourse can be taken towards her hosts. Like I said, we've contacted two lawyers and one police officer who have given the advice, and all seem to agree that while there's no physical abuse or obvious neglect, the situation she's in is something more than she should be dealing with and they all feel she would be capable of making a sound decision in regards to moving out.

I’d say that’s the very definition of “attended.” What happened in this particular case is that the 4-year-old sibling some how got out of the house and ventured across the street. Whereupon a “good” Samaritan called the police. To me that is the very definition of a “bad” Samaritan — someone immediately involving the police and dragging the family into the “justice” system, instead of trying to walk the kid back to her house."

Very early spaying can have a serious affect on physical and mental development - your dog's a young adult so the time will be perfect and thank you for spaying. Bowi · 6 years ago1 0 Comment Asker's rating Adoption agencies usually have the dogs fixed before they are placed in a new home. Or they give you a certificate to take to a Vet to have it done, if it is just a puppy. I can't imagine an adoption agency adopting out an intact animal. Neutering an dog can be done very early, some vets will do it when the pups are just weeks old & others say 4 months & some vets want to wait until the dog is 6 months old. You can get her spayed any time now."

"text": "Home Puppies What Age Can You Spay a Puppy What Age Can You Spay a Puppy By Sharon Queano 771Every year, shelters are forced to euthanize millions of animals. While many people are willing to adopt these unwanted pets, there are simply far more animals that there are homes. When bringing home a new puppy, you have the power to help decrease the number of unwanted animals by choosing to have your pet spayed. One of the first questions you may ask after making this decision is at what age can you spay a puppy? First, it’s important to note that if, for some reason, you have put off spaying your dog until she is older, understand that there are always some benefits to having your dog fixed, but that doing so before the dog has her first heat cycle will be most beneficial for your pet. Most dogs go through their first heat cycle between five and six months of age, and that is normally the best time to spay your dog. Some experts say that by preventing her first cycle, you will help prevent your pet from contracting certain diseases. Spaying your dog later in her life will still reduce her chance of getting certain cancers, but doing so prior to her first heat cycle will provide the best benefit. Cancers of the female organs are as dangerous for your dog as they are to a human. The treatments are painful and expensive, and there are many cases when even the most advanced treatments cannot save the life of your dog."

In both cases, the operation is performed while the pet is under anesthesia. How is spaying/neutering good for the pet and the pet owner? Spaying/neutering can lower vet bills! Fixed pets are less prone to a variety of diseases. Spayed females have a lower risk of mammary cancer (90% fatal in cats and 50% fatal in dogs) and life-threatening uterine infections. Neutered males have no risk of testicular disease and a lower risk of prostate diseases. Plus, the cost to have your pet spayed or neutered at The PAWS Clinic’s low-cost spay/neuter clinic is a lot less than the cost to have and care for a litter or litters.

Those of us in the animal sheltering and rescue world usually recommend early-age spay/neuter at 8 weeks of age, or as soon as possible after that. Promoting early-age spay neuter is part of the social responsibility we feel to do all we can to reduce 5,000 dogs and cats euthanized in animal shelters every day. We see the number of puppies and kittens barely 6 months old that come to shelters, suffering from such an early pregnancy. Decades ago, when many vets were receiving their education, 6 months old was the randomly recommended age for fixing a dog or cat – you read that correctly, the 6 month old recommendation is based on clinical sentiment, not than scientific studies!On the other end of the spectrum, you have pet owners who mistakenly think it is better for a female dog or cat to have one heat – or even one litter – before being spayed, or don’t believe in spaying in neutering at all. They believe this myths in spite of vets and scientific organizations supporting the benefits and safety of early-age spay/neuter.

Many owners never consider this when they get a female dog, and they can end up with ruined carpets and unexpected litters. So what is there to know? A female dog will have her first estrus cycle when they reach puberty. It is the stage of the reproductive cycle where the dog is capable of becoming pregnant when there is a male dog to engage in reproduction. This period of estrus is also called «being in heat» or «in season.» On average, most dogs reach this stage at about six months of age, but this can vary according to the breed. Smaller dogs tend to have their first cycles at an earlier age."

"text": "\"The Spay and Neuter Controversy Spaying and neutering refers to the removal of a dog’s reproductive organs to prevent them from reproducing. Spaying and neutering is often encouraged by veterinarians, animal shelters, animal welfare organizations and other pet owners as responsible pet ownership to avoid bringing unwanted puppies into the world that might never find their forever home. Proponents of spaying and neutering domestic pets also say that there are a number of additional benefits for pet owners and their pets, particularly that a spayed or neutered dog will experience fewer health problems down the road than a dog that was left intact (not spayed or neutered). But what if you could make sure your intact (not spayed or neutered) dog never bred? Are the health benefits and positive behavioural effects of spaying/neutering significant? Health effects of spaying and neutering Spaying or neutering your dog has several health benefits, including a decrease in certain cancers. However, when you spay or neuter a dog, you are removing organs that produce hormones which have an effect on how a dog’s body works and grows if the procedure is done earlier in a dog’s life. There is research that suggests neutered/spayed dogs may be at a health disadvantage in some areas as well, somewhat dependent on how early the dog is spayed/neutered. This UC Davis study from 2012 studied 759 Golden Retrievers, and had several different health-effect findings: Males neutered before one year old had double the chance of having hip dysplasia. Males neutered early were three times as likely to suffer from lymphosarcoma (a common malignant cancer in dogs) as intact dogs."

"text": "Dogs in Heat - Heat Cycles and Spaying Dogs When will my dog come into heat? What age will my dog come into her first heat? First heat can vary greatly dog to dog. The youngest is about six months of age though sometimes a female will come into season younger. First heat can start as late as 12 or even 14 months of age or later in rare cases. Again, it can vary dog to dog. How often will my dog come into heat? Again, this varies dog-to-dog – average is every six months but it could be more or less often. I have known one female who came in every four months like clockwork. I have known others who came in once a year or less."

"text": "Neutering dogs – Bitch spay operation: a step by step guide Jenny - Tuesday January 4th, 2011Deciding whether to spay Spaying or neutering a female dog is not a small operation, so owners should think carefully about all the pros and cons before deciding. The main advantages of spaying are preventing pregnancy, preventing infection of the uterus (pyometra), preventing ovarian or uterine cancer and reducing the likelihood of mammary (breast) cancer, all of which can be life-threatening. It also prevents the inconvenience of having a bitch in season with unwanted attention from male dogs. The main disadvantages are major surgery with associated risks, an anaesthetic with associated risks and the increased likelihood of urinary incontinence in later life. Fortunately, the risks involved in anaesthesia and surgery are very small indeed compared with the risks of the other conditions which are prevented by spaying. Urinary incontinence in later life is a nuisance but not very common, and can usually be controlled by drugs. There is no medical reason to let a bitch have one litter before spay, in fact some of the benefits like protection against mammary tumours, are lost if the operation is delayed. Unless an owner is committed to having a litter, with all the work and expense that can be involved, and the bitch is also suitable in temperament and free of any hereditary problems, then breeding should not be considered. Some people expect that their bitch will get fat after spay, but in fact this is entirely preventable with a healthy diet and proper exercise. My own opinion is that most bitches should be spayed because of the health benefits."

By Staff 1956Unless you plan to show or breed your dog, you should strongly consider having it spayed or neutered. There are many reasons to opt to spay or neuter. Most veterinarians agree that spayed or neutered dogs live longer healthier lives. Male dogs that have been neutered have a lower incidence of prostrate cancer than those who were not altered. Female dogs that have been spayed have a lower incidence of uterine and ovarian cancer. Dogs that have been spayed or neutered are far less likely to bite. They show less aggression than animals that have not been altered. For this reason, they often make better companions."

Animals that are adopted, abandoned, and rescued by shelters or animal control facilities make it mandatory to sterilize the dog immediatly when brought into there facility or rescue shelter. It is understandable that people who rescue and see thousands of dogs a year have no homes should want animals to be sterilized, because more animals make a over population, but it is the human that causes these cases. Breeders that require you to spay or neuter your dog in the contract don't necessarily require that because they are afraid of over population, It is because breeders don't want you to breed your pure bred Rottweiler / dog to just any dog with disqualifying faults, heriditary defects, or poor bloodlines. Another reason is because some breeders are \"\"afraid you will steel there type of bloodline they created\"\". Breeders want to keep the standard correct, and puppies sold as breeders to other kennels want them bred to other quality dogs to produce beautiful puppies for the future.

As the dog usually more adult, you can actually see its adult appearance (dogs do change color they grow) as and behavior before getting it. You will also lessen the burden of the shelter. The disadvantages are that the dog may less attached to you (not necessarily a bad thing) and sometime it can be difficult to find the kind of dog you want.

A baby born at 20weeks gestation cannot survive outside of the womb; therefore, the further along the pregnancy, the greater the chances of survival for the fetus. Babies born very premature have immature lungs, brain functioning capabilities, skin is very fragile; therefore these babies are unable to regulate their body temperature.

"text": "Momentum for Late-Term Abortion Limits Elizabeth Ann M. Johnson, M. D. | August 5, 2013. ( Click here for a chart detailing all state abortion limitations: Abortion Funding Limits)In the last three years, an increasing number of states have debated and/or passed statutes limiting abortions beyond a certain point in pregnancy. Most recently, Texas legislators voted to ban abortions after five months of pregnancy and to increase the health and safety regulation of the state’s abortion clinics. On July 18, 2013, Governor Rick Perry signed the bill restricting abortions after 20 weeks, despite a failed filibuster and a mob takeover of the statehouse. In total, 24 states have adopted a variety of gestational age limits on abortion (Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, and Virginia). The statutory age limits vary from the onset of fetal heartbeat (which can be detected as early as six weeks), to the most common limits based on research that shows the fetus is capable of sensing pain as early as 20 weeks, up to the third trimester of pregnancy (typically 28 weeks). Heartbeat Bans Two states have recently passed laws restricting abortion after detecting a fetal heartbeat. Aside from banning abortion not necessary to save the life of the mother (which many state legislatures had done before these laws were struck down by Roe v. Wade ), the fetal heartbeat bans are the strictest abortion laws in the nation. In March 2013, the Arkansas Legislature overrode Governor Mike Beebe ’s veto and passed the Arkansas Human Heartbeat Protection Act. This law bans abortions after 12 weeks if a heartbeat is detected and makes exceptions for pregnancies from rape or incest, or pregnancies that risk the life or physical health of the mother, or when lethal fetal abnormalities exist."

Symptoms range from mild to severe, and it can affect physical and intellectual development. It is a congenital problem, present before birth, and it is caused by the incomplete closing of the embryonic neural tube. It is a neural tube defect. There are four main types of spina bifida: myelomeningocele, spina bifida occulta, closed neural tube defects, and meningocele. Myelomeningocele is the most serious type, and symptoms can be severe.

This cervix has an opening (the os) that leads into the vagina, or birth canal. The placenta is the organ that attaches to thewall of the uterus during pregnancy. The placenta allows nutrients and oxygen from the mother'sblood circulation to pass into the developing baby (the fetus) via the umbilical cord. During labor, the muscles of the uterus contract repeatedly. This allows the cervix to begin to grow thinner (called effacement) and more open (dilatation). Eventually, the cervix will becomecompletely effaced and dilated, and the baby can leave the uterus and enter the birth canal."

"text": "Treatment Overview An intrauterine transfusion provides blood to an Rh-positive fetus when fetal red blood cells are being destroyed by Rh antibodies. A blood transfusion is given to replace fetal red blood cells that are being destroyed by the Rh-sensitized mother's immune system. This treatment is meant to keep the fetus healthy until he or she is mature enough to be delivered. Transfusions can be given through the fetal abdomen or, more commonly, by delivering the blood into the umbilical vein or artery. Umbilical cord vessel transfusion is the preferred method, because it permits better absorption of blood and has a higher survival rate than does transfusion through the abdomen. 1An intrauterine fetal blood transfusion is done in the hospital. The mother may have to stay overnight after the procedure. The mother is sedated, and an ultrasound image is obtained to determine the position of the fetus and placenta. After the mother's abdomen is cleaned with an antiseptic solution, she is given a local anesthetic injection to numb the abdominal area where the transfusion needle will be inserted. Medicine may be given to the fetus to temporarily stop fetal movement."

Yet when I explored the origins of cryptic pregnancy — the clinical name for this condition — I realized that denial or mental illness doesn’t fully explain the phenomenon. Only a minority of cryptic pregnancy cases has been attributed to personality disturbances (eight percent) or schizophrenia (five percent). It appears that most unexpectedly expectant mothers are perfectly sane and educated. Quite simply, they do not know they’re pregnant because they have no symptoms — no weight gain, no nausea, and little to no abdominal swelling. They may still have their periods, or have always had irregular periods. If they have symptoms, they’re so subtle as to be easily mistaken for something else. Indigestion, perhaps."

"text": "A number of Republican House members say scientific research proves a 20-week-old fetus can feel pain. This is a complicated and controversial topic in science, but the ability to feel pain at that specific point in gestation is unproven. The House Republicans made their remarks during a debate on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would ban abortions beyond 20 weeks, with some exceptions for victims of rape or incest and if the mother’s life is in danger. It passed the House on May 13 by a margin of 242-184. Several lawmakers made similar statements on the House floor: Rep. Ralph Abraham, May 13: As a doctor, I know and I can attest that this bill is backed by scientific research showing that babies can indeed feel pain at 20 weeks, if not before. Rep. Dan Benishek, May 13: The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act will prevent abortions from occurring after the point at which many scientific studies have demonstrated that children in the womb can actually feel pain. Rep. Charles Boustany, May 13: The scientific evidence is clear: unborn babies feel pain. They feel pain at 20 weeks post-fertilization. These statements, and others like them, are problematic because of their definitive nature. Scientific research on pain in the fetus is extremely complicated, primarily because pain is a subjective experience and a fetus cannot indicate if something hurts."

Abortion Synonyms Induced miscarriage, termination of pregnancy Specialty Obstetrics and gynecology ICD-10-PCS O04ICD-9-CM 779.6Me SH D000028Medline Plus 007382 [ edit on Wikidata]Abortion is the ending of pregnancy by removing an embryo or fetus before it can survive outside the uterus. [ note 1] An abortion that occurs spontaneously is also known as a miscarriage. An abortion may be caused purposely and is then called an induced abortion, or less frequently, \"\"induced miscarriage\"\". The word abortion is often used to mean only induced abortions. A similar procedure after the fetus could potentially survive outside the womb is known as a \"\" late termination of pregnancy \"\".

Human embryo at 8-cell stage The beginning of human personhood is the moment when a human is first recognized as a person. There are differences of opinion as to the precise time when human personhood begins and the nature of that status. The issue arises in a number of fields including science, religion, philosophy, and law, and is most acute in debates relating to abortion, stem cell research, reproductive rights, and fetal rights.

However, in modernity, the concepts of subjectivity and intersubjectivity, personhood, mind, and self have come to encompass a number of aspects of human being previously considered to be characteristics of the soul. [ 1] [2] With regard to the beginning of human personhood, one historical question has been: when does the soul enter the body? In modern terms, the question could be put instead: at what point does the developing individual develop personhood or selfhood? [ 3]Related issues attached to the question of the beginning of human personhood include both the legal status, bodily integrity, and subjectivity of mothers [4] and the philosophical concept of \"\"natality\"\" (i.e. \"\"the distinctively human capacity to initiate a new beginning\"\", which a new human life embodies). [ 5]Philosophical and religious perspectives [ edit]Answers to the question of when human life begins and when personhood begins have varied among social contexts, and have changed with shifts in ethical and religious beliefs, sometimes as a result of advances in scientific knowledge; in general they have developed in parallel with attitudes to abortion [6] and to the use of infanticide as a means of reproductive control."

Because every scientific study on fetuses prove that the fetus's cells work identical to those of a born human being. Pro-lifers are often criticized for their position that a new, human life begins at conception. Many incorrectly think that this belief is based on some blind religious dogma, a scripture passage somewhere, or some stubborn need to tell women what to do with their bodies. All the while, this same opposition likes to pretend that they are the scientific, logical ones \"\" obviously not blinded by religion or some judgmental God. Of course, this is exactly backwards from reality. The entire basis for a new, human life beginning at conception stems from well documented, universally recognized scientific fact.

Without knowledge gained by prenatal diagnosis, there could be an untoward outcome for the fetus or the mother or both. congenital anomalies account for 20 to 25% of perinatal deaths. Specifically, prenatal diagnosis is helpful for: Managing the remaining weeks of the pregnancy Determining the outcome of the pregnancy Planning for possible complications with the birth process Planning for problems that may occur in the newborn infant Deciding whether to continue the pregnancy Finding conditions that may affect future pregnancies There are a variety of non-invasive and invasive techniques available for prenatal diagnosis. Each of them can be applied only during specific time periods during the pregnancy for greatest utility. The techniques employed for prenatal diagnosis include: Ultrasonography Amniocentesis Chorionic villus sampling Fetal blood cells in maternal blood Maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein Maternal serum beta-HCGMaternal serum unconjugated estriol Pregnancy-associated plasma protein AInhibin AUltrasonography This is a non-invasive procedure that is harmless to both the fetus and the mother. High frequency sound waves are utilized to produce visible images from the pattern of the echos made by different tissues and organs, including the baby in the amniotic cavity. The developing embryo can first be visualized at about 6 weeks gestation. Recognition of the major internal organs and extremities to determine if any are abnormal can best be accomplished between 16 to 20 weeks gestation. Although an ultrasound examination can be quite useful to determine the size and position of the fetus, the size and position of the placenta, the amount of amniotic fluid, and the appearance of fetal anatomy, there are limitations to this procedure."

All kids learn differently, try these methods and see what works best for your child. 1) Bunny Ears Probably the most common method for teaching kids to tie their own shoes is the \"\"Bunny Ears\"\" method.

I tried to teach her the one loop method first, but she didn't get on with that at all. My mate then showed her the \"\"bunny ears\"\" method and she caught on straight away. I found that it's easier to teach them when they haven't got their shoes on, put the trainer on their lap and let them practise that way. There is a book available that shows the movements bit by bit, but i can't for the life of me remember the name about telling the time, i haven't taught her that at home, but they are learning it in school and she's pretty good at telling the time now."

These, to name a few, are the times we talk to an audience of none. Talking to yourself is universal. It’s so common that it has a name: private speech. Most research on private speech is done with kids aged 2 to 7, among whom private speech is a part of normal development. Private speech is kids’ external version of thought — truly thinking out loud. Kids start out their verbal life just playing with words, but eventually start to narrate tough tasks like learning to tie their shoes: “Now, the rabbit goes into the hole,” or make comments to themselves, like “I did it!” or “This is hard.”"

Thankfully most gala usually aren’t like that. So deciding on what to wear to a charity gala depends on the type of event it is. If it’s black tie then it obviously calls for a more upscale attire. Speaking of the Met Gala, did you see what everyone was wearing? One of my favorite for the night was the Stella Mc Cartney midriff ensemble that Rihanna wore.

At times, I found myself using tweezers trying to loosen \"\"boy scout\"\" knots out of his laces. Many occasions he used to come home with his shoe strings raggedy looking as if a dog gnawed on the laces. Oh, and lets not forget about my favorite, no laces at all with his gym shoes flip flopping off of his feet all because he did not know how to tie his shoe laces. Immediately after my son's seventh birthday we were both determined for him to learn to tie his shoes. I began teaching him the technique that I use to tie my shoe laces, which ended in failure and him crying out, \"\"I will never learn how to time my shoes!\"\" As frustrating as it was for him and I must admit myself as well, I knew I had to come up with a technique he could learn and soon. After failing to teach him the way I tie my laces, I asked him to simply watch as I tied my shoe laces. After, I asked him to then try to tie his using his own technique and any of mine that he thought was helpful. As he was going through the motions, I realized that he basically had the steps down but further simplification was needed."

"title": "https://icatcare.org/advice/neutering-your-cat\nNeutering your cat",
"text": "Neutering your cat From around the age of 4 months, kittens reach sexual maturity and are therefore capable of breeding and producing kittens themselves. Most people do not have the time or desire to breed from their cat and do not wish to add to the number of unwanted cats and kittens already looking for homes. Neutering a cat – castration in the male (removal of the testes), and spaying the female (removal of the ovaries and uterus) – not only prevents unwanted pregnancies occurring, but also curbs unwanted behavioural patterns associated with sexual maturity and reduces the risk of certain diseases. Reasons for neutering female cats Population control. It is important to neuter a female cat before she can have kittens herself. This happens very quickly depending on breed, time of year born and individual development. The first season usually occurs around six months but can be earlier. Queens can have up to three litters in a year. Control of nuisance. Female cats will ‘call’ (come into season and be receptive to the male cat) regularly, about every three weeks during sexually active times of the year if they do not get pregnant."

"text": "Cat Spraying Urine How To Stop Reasons why cats spray urine, prevention, cleaning and treatment What is Cat Spraying. Feline Spraying (also called marking) is a cat depositing a small amount of urine on vertical surfaces, such as furniture, doorways and walls. The spraying cat may be seen to back into the area, the tail may quiver, and with little or no crouching the cat sprays the urine. Spraying is marking behavior, not a litter box problem. The cat does not need to pee, he is leaving a message for other cats. Un-neutered male cats will usually start urine spraying behavior once they reach sexual maturity. The age at which a tom cat sexually matures can vary greatly but in general it occurs between 5 and 12 months. Many factors can affect at which age a male cat starts spraying. Male cats in multi-cat households or in close proximity to other cats are more likely to spray at a younger age. Spraying is territorial and can also be stress related."

In the early 1900's, early neutering was the norm and it was not until much later that questions were raised about the negative side effects of such a procedure. Today most of the experts acknowledge that there has not been enough scientific information available about the most appropriate age to neuter a pet."

Posted on May 25, 2012 by Michael Broad Share Tweet Pinterest How old should a kitten be before being spayed or neutered?by Sonia Atamian (Calgary Alberta Canada)Hi, I would like to know how old a kitten/cat needs to be before it can be spayed. Sonia Hi Sonia…. thanks for visiting and asking. I’ll answer the question in relation to spaying (female) and neutering (male). I’ll quote from the best cat health book: Cat Owner’s Home Veterinary Handbook, Fully Revised and Updated (See all Cat Care & Health Books). Neutering The best time is when the cat is 6 or 7 months of age. By this time the cat’s growth and bone structure are not adversely affected. If castrated before 6 months of age (before development of secondary sexual characteristics} “his penis may remain small”. Spaying The best time is at 5 to 7 months of age before the female cat goes into heat for the first time."

So far, what has worked for me is carrying around a small spray bottle (I got myself two for .99 cents each in the travel sized section items at Wal-Mart) and I spray him when he's doing things I don't approve of. If it seems to not work, I will put ice water in it and he quits."

"text": "Even young kittens can be spayed. While you can have your kitty spayed at any age, the best time to do so is before she goes into heat for the first time. This will prevent not only any unwanted litters but also some possible health issues for your little girl later in life. Reaching Maturity Typically, your furry companion will become mature when she reaches 5 to 8 months old, according to the Feline Advisory Bureau. At this point, your kitten can have kittens of her own, leading to a number of unwanted little babies for you to deal with. Once she goes into her first estrus or heat cycle, she'll remain in heat for 21 to 30 days, according to the University of California Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. During this time, she won't be able to have a spay surgery because of the medical risks involved, and you'll have to wait until she's out of estrus. When to Spay To prevent your little one from going into heat, ideally she should be spayed prior to or right around 5 months of age. The youngest a kitty should be before she's spayed is 8 weeks old. Little ones this young need to be at least 2.2 pounds before surgery, recommends the Ohio Alleycat Resource."

At home, you'll need to give him some extra snuggles and love while he recovers and his incisions heal for seven to 10 days. When to Fix Both girl and boy kitties should be altered prior to 6 months of age, when they reach puberty. As long as they are 2 pounds in weight, they can be fixed as young as 2 months old. In fact, young kitties fixed at an early age tend to heal and bounce back from their surgery quicker than their older counterparts, according to the North Shore Animal League America's Spay USA. The Surgery During your little girl's surgery, your vet will make a small incision in her abdomen through which he removes her uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Your vet will then close the incision with surgical sutures. For the boy kitties, your vet makes two very tiny incisions to remove each of his testicles. Unlike with the ladies, your little guy usually won't require any stitches to close these incisions because they are so small."

The Bengal name was derived from the Asian Leopard Cat’s scientific name, Prionailurus Bengalensis.2. How did the breed come about? The main credit for this breed is given to Jean Sudgen from Covina, California. Jean Sudgen crossed a black shorthaired domestic cat with a female Asian Leopard Cat in 1963.

Plus you’ll be helping to tackle the growing crisis of pets being abandoned, dumped and given away because there aren’t enough homes to go around. What is cat neutering? Neutering means surgically preventing cats from reproducing. In males, the operation is called castration and in females it’s called spaying. With castration both testicles are removed which takes away the main source of the male hormone testosterone. With spaying, both the ovaries and the uterus are removed which means the female is unable to become pregnant. What’s involved in the cat neutering process? Both operations are carried out under general anaesthetic. Every surgical procedure has some risk but modern techniques are very safe."

[ 1] With the increased use of personal watercraft since their inception, the hazards accompanying their use have also increased. According to U.

[ 2] [3] Due to their affordability, ease of use, and relatively low transportation and maintenance costs, personal watercraft have significantly increased the number of water-based enthusiasts in the U.

But it’s not all fun and games out on the water – it’s important to stay safe, too. To help in creating a more positive play environment with our equipment, let’s look at the most common causes of watercraft accidents and how you can avoid them when riding the waves. Lack of Experience Many watercraft accidents happen purely due to a lack of experience on behalf of the operator, says the Boat Owners Association of the United States. As a matter of fact, the National Transportation Safety Board even reported that roughly 84 percent of personal watercraft (PWC) accidents involved drivers who had no boating safety education or instruction. How can you avoid being a statistic? It’s simple, take water safety seriously. Jet Skis are a lot of fun, and they look relatively simple to operate, but if you don’t learn how to ride them with safety in mind, then you are asking for trouble. We provide an overview of all operations with a personal orientation class for each rider before you’re able to ride, and boating licenses are required for all new riders. Keep what you learn in mind and you’ll have a fun and safe time during your rental."

"text": "Jet Ski And Personal Watercraft Accidents Operator Laws In California and Hawaii As with motorboats, laws in California and Hawaii do not require the operators of jet skis to acquire licenses or boating insurance, but (in response to popular demand) these states have passed additional regulations concerning the operation of personal watercraft. California requires jet ski drivers to wear life jackets, as well as a “lanyard cutoff switch” that turns off the jet ski if its operator falls out of the boat; the state also prohibits jet-ski use at night and while intoxicated, as well as stunts like using a jet ski to jump over another vessel’s wake. Otherwise, though, California still allows jet skis to be operated by children as young as 12, provided they’re under direct adult supervision. Hawaii takes a slightly tougher stance on jet skis, classifying these vehicles as “thrill craft” and therefore subject to additional regulation. The most important difference between Hawaiian and Californian jet ski law is that Hawaii requires jet ski users to take a certification class before they can operate their vessels, and mandates a minimum age of 15 years to operate a jet ski (unlike California, where a 12-year-old jet skier can practice her moves under the supervision of an “adult” 18-year-old.) Violators of Hawaiian jet ski law are subject to fines ranging from $50 to $1,000, as well as a 30-day stint in jail. PWC and Jet Ski Accidents in Hawaii PWC and Jet Ski Accidents in California"

"text": "\"ABA Boater Education Program Boater Education Requirements/Laws Boater education prevents accidents and saves lives. Whether or not their state requires it, all boaters have a responsibility to learn about boat operation, communications, navigation, and life-saving techniques before taking to the water. Statistics bear out what logic suggests—those without boater education put themselves and others at risk. Of the approximately 7,700 accidents reported each year, the U. S. Coast Guard found that nearly 70 percent are caused by operator error as opposed to boat or environmental factors. ( Estimates suggest less than 10% of minor boating accidents are reported.) Not only do incompetent boaters cause more accidents, the accidents they cause are more severe. According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), boating fatalities are second only to highway fatalities. Sadly, more than 80 percent of recreational boat operators involved in fatal boating accidents have not taken any type of boater education course. An untrained boater would likely not know the proper steps to take in a life-threatening situation, such as capsizing/man overboard, fire, sinking/flooding, or collision. The lack of education in personal watercraft operators is a cause for concern as well; a 1997 study estimated that 84% of PWC operators (including renters) had received no boating instruction whatsoever."

PWCs have two style categories, first and most popular being a \"\"sit down\"\" or \"\"couch\"\" where the rider uses the watercraft mainly sitting down, and the watercraft typically holds two or more people. The second style is a \"\"stand-up\"\", where the rider uses the watercraft standing up. The stand-up styles are built for one rider and are used more for doing tricks, racing, and use in competitions. Both styles have an inboard engine driving a pump-jet that has a screw-shaped impeller to create thrust for propulsion and steering. Most are designed for two or three people, though four-passenger models exist.

"text": "How To Ride a PWC with a Child Jeff Hemmel May 17, 2011Safely share the joys of PWC with your children If you’re a personal watercraft-riding parent, you’ve probably already faced the dilemma of when to allow your child to come along for a spin. If they’re still toddlers, you may have already outfitted them in a PFD, wedged them between you and your spouse, and taken them for a relatively tame ride on the water. But what do you really need to know about safe riding with young children?“Safe boating with children can be great fun and a fantastic adventure for all,” suggests Cathy Ferriss, a certified YMCA Aquatic Instructor. “ It does, however, require a little thought, planning, and preparation — but what doesn’t when you include kids!”Obviously, safe boating of any kind with children starts with a properly fitted PFD. Try different styles on for comfort, but verify that the vest is Coast Guard-approved and that it is the right one for your child’s weight. That info will be stamped on the inside of the vest. “ The life jacket should go on the child before they ever leave the house, or get out of the car at the launch ramp,” says Ferriss. “ Water is shiny and it moves. You will have your hands full of supplies, and that is when your child will go straight for the water. ”Taking your child out for a ride on a PWC can be fun for everybody."

A: In general, Federal law requires that you must have a Coast Guard-approved wearable, life jacket (Type I, II, or III) for each person onboard your vessel. In addition, boats greater than 16 feet in length must carry a Coast Guard-approved throwable device (Type IV). A throwable device is not required on canoes or kayaks regardless of length.

"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."

"text": "About 550,000 full-time career federal government and U. S. Postal Service could hang it up and move on at anytime because they are eligible to retire, according to government statistics. The eligible workers represent about a quarter of the 2.4 million permanent full-time employees collecting government or postal paychecks. The Office of Personnel Management, which compiles and releases federal personnel and retirement statistics, shared the numbers Thursday following inquiries by The Washington Post. Federal workers, their union leaders and other close observers warned this week that proposals to significantly increase payroll deductions of federal workers to contribute to their pension funds may hasten an exodus of older, experienced workers eligible to retire. Lawmakers and White House negotiators are seriously considering the proposal as one of just a few areas of agreement on how to reduce the federal deficit, The Post reported this week. Federal and postal employees pay into either the Civil Service Retirement System or the newer Federal Employees Retirement System, which is used by workers who were hired in 1984 or after. The OPM retirement figures include postal workers, because though they are paid separately by the Postal Service, they participate in CSRS or FERS. The Postal Service is a quasi-government agency that is funded only by mail-related revenues. USPS employed about 541,000 full-time career workers as of May 1, according to a spokeswoman. A federal or postal worker is currently eligible to retire if they meet one of the following seven criteria:1.)"

"text": "Personal Finance Retirement Planning Social Security Benefits and Your Retirement Share Flip Pin Email By Dana Anspach Updated March 27, 2018For many Americans, Social Security benefits provide 50 percent or more of their income in retirement. By learning how you qualify for Social Security benefits, you can make decisions that help you get the most out of the program. Social Security benefits are available to most people who work and earn income in the United States. There are three main types of benefits; retirement benefits, disability benefits, and survivor benefits. How to Qualify for Social Security Retirement Benefits While you work and earn income, you and your employer each pay 6.2 percent of your earnings into the Social Security system. If you are self-employed, you pay both the employer share and your employee share. Although you pay into the system while working, your benefit amount in retirement is not determined by how much you and your employer contribute. Instead, the following three factors determine how much you’ll get: How long you work How much you earn What age you file for benefits Let's take a look at how each of these factors impact how much you'll get.1. How Long You Work While you work and pay into the Social Security system you accumulate “ credits .” A credit is approximately equivalent to one calendar quarter of work."

You can start work with the United States Postal Service right out of high school as long as you pass the appropriate exams. Job Description While most people probably picture mailmen spending their day out on the street delivering the mail, the day generally starts at the office as you sort the mail by street and address. This takes about three hours. The remainder of your day is spent delivering the mail. Mailmen must be able to lift up to 70 pounds. Most sorting trays weigh around 50 pounds, but you may have to deliver packages up to 70 pounds. While delivering the mail, you’ll carry up to 35 pounds on your back as you work what is called a “park and loop” route."

It highlights changes in both our economy and society and the interactions between them. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) collects this information through its Labour Force Survey (LFS). The LFS is the Bureau's longest running household survey and has provided the basis on which the ABS has built an extensive program of labour and social surveys of the Australian population. The LFS provides official statistics about the number of employed and unemployed Australians and their working arrangements."

"text": "\"Printable PDFSSA Publication No. 05-10198, January 2004, ICN 480199 [ OMB Approval Number: 0960-0554 Expires 12/31/2016]Contents Introduction Coverage and Social Security taxes Certificate of coverage Monthly benefits A CPP/QPP pension may affect your U. S. benefit What you need to know about Medicare Claims for benefits For more information Introduction An agreement effective August 1, 1984, between the United States and Canada improves Social Security protection for people who work or have worked in both countries. It also helps protect the benefit rights of people who have earned Canadian Social Security credits based on residence and/or contributions in Canada. Because the Canadian Social Security system includes a special pension plan operated in the Province of Quebec, an additional understanding has been concluded with Quebec to extend the agreement to that province—also effective August 1, 1984. Terms of the U. S.-Canadian agreement and U. S.-Quebec understanding are very similar, and except where otherwise noted, references in this document to the U. S.-Canadian agreement also apply to the U. S.-Quebec understanding. The agreement with Canada helps many people who, without the agreement, would not be eligible for monthly retirement, disability or survivors benefits under the Social Security systems of one or both countries. It also helps people who would otherwise have to pay Social Security taxes to both countries on the same earnings. For the United States, the agreement covers Social Security taxes (including the U. S. Medicare portion) and Social Security retirement, disability and survivors insurance benefits. It does not cover benefits under the U. S. Medicare program or the Supplemental Security Income program. For Canada, the agreement applies to the Old-Age Security program and the Canada Pension Plan."

"text": "OPM Disability Retirement: The Process & Time Posted on March 17, 2009Time is also part of the entire process of filing for Federal Disability Retirement; time factors involve multiple issues from multiple aspects and perspectives: The Statute of Limitations of filing a Federal Disability Retirement within one (1) year of being separated from federal service; the fact that the 1-year mark begins from the date of actual separation, not from the date of disability, or the date of one’s inability to perform one’s job (although those dates may, on occasion, coincide); the fact that the medical condition must last for at least 1 year (while, at the same time, recognizing that one normally should not wait for the year to pass before filing for Federal Disability Retirement, because most doctors can provide an opinion, within reasonable medical certainty, that the medical condition impacting one’s inability to perform the essential elements of one’s job will last for at least a year, normally quite early on in the process); the time it takes for the doctor to prepare a proper medical narrative report; the time it takes for the Agency to prepare and attach to the disability retirement packets its required forms; the time it takes for Boyers, PA to process the case and assign a CSA Number to it (which begins with a “4” for CSRS employees, and an “8” for FERS employees); the time it takes to get the case assigned once it is sent down to Washington, D. C.; the time it takes, once assigned, for an Initial Approval or Denial. And, of course, all the while, during this entire “process” of time, issues as to whether the applicant should, could, or will continue to work, either at the Agency, in some light duty capacity, or in some other job.

"text": "\"Overview: The United States Postal Service (USPS) is an independent branch of the federal government responsible for providing Postal Service in the United States. The USPS handles the mailing of letters and packages, sorting and delivering mail, and selling postal products like stamps, mailing supplies and commemoratives. The Postal Service has long been one of the most criticized federal operations, accused of rampant inefficiency and bloated bureaucracy. Over the past several years, the critically ill state of the economy and the widespread use of electronic communication have contributed to putting the agency into financial crisis, as it suffers annual multi-billion-dollar losses. In the past five years, mail volume has declined by more than 43 billion pieces, with single-piece First-Class letters declining by 36%. First-Class Mail volume has dropped by 50% in the past 10 years. Calls for privatizing the Postal Service have been uttered time and again, but they have yet to gain any real traction with lawmakers or the White House. The USPS has made a series of proposals to a wary Congress for ways to avoid all-out bankruptcy.more History: Before mail was delivered daily, citizens depended on friends, merchants, and Native Americans to deliver messages around the country, and even to Europe. By 1639, the first official mail service in the colonies was developed by the General Court of Massachusetts. Richard Fairbanks’ tavern in Boston was chosen as the official repository for mail delivered from or going out to places overseas."

Civil service employees work under the state, local, and federal government in order to provide a service to the nation’s citizens, for example as a Postal Worker, Air Traffic Controller, Police Officer, legislator, and other more specialized careers. Because of the vast amount of services the government provides, you can find a career path fit your skill set that you will enjoy far into retirement. Types of professions There are literally thousands of different jobs in the civil service, each requiring a different skillset and different mentality in order to do effectively. The type of work you want to do is up to you, it is all about your career goals and skill set you want to obtain through a traditional or vocational college, job training program, or apprenticeship. Be prepared to obtain some sort of schooling for most positions as a government worker. Some jobs will also require a drug test, background check, exam, or letters of recommendation. In order to truly find out what qualifications you need to get hired onto a specific job, you will want to look at current job requirements for the position. There are a number of places to do this, including USAJobs.gov, Indeed.com, local and state government websites, and other job searching sites. Start your search by looking up broad search terms and then narrow it down by your professional interests."

"text": "\"USPS Retirement Information The Office of Personnel and Management (OPM) administers both USPS retirement programs - the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) and the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS). The CSRS generally applies to employees who received a career appointment before January 1, 1984 while the FERS applies to employees whose initial career appointment was January 1, 1984 or later, and CSRS employees that elected to transfer to FERS. Both systems have the same purposes, however, both operate under a unique set of guidelines and rules. Many employees believe that USPS retirement benefits are some of the most substantial in the nation. Many, upon reaching retirement age, are shocked to learn they will be facing a 50% to 75% or more loss in income after retirement. Although, postal retirement benefits may not be all that public legend has them to be, they can provide a secure retirement with the proper planning. New: FERS Accrued Unused Sick Leave Ruling in Effect5/11/2010The new National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2010 now allows the use of accrued unused sick leave hours to be added to total service in computing the retirement annuity of Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) employees. From October 28, 2009, through December 31, 2013, 50 percent of FERS employees' accrued unused sick leave hours will be added in the computing of their retirement annuity. Retirees after December 31, 2013, will have 100 percent of accrued unused sick leave hours added. This new rule permits the counting of accrued unused sick leave only to calculate a FERS employee’s annuity."

Some 30% of the federal workforce will be eligible to retire in the next three years, according to a Government Accountability Office report. That means the government could be hit by a wave of retirements at a time when it is already dealing with inadequate staffing, because large numbers of employees are on furlough and hiring freezes are in place to save money and dramatically shrink the federal budget deficit. It could lead to disruptions in some key areas. Some 46% of air traffic controllers can retire in the next three years, creating a challenge for the government to replace them with similarly experienced workers. It's a worry, especially at a time when the public has fresh memories of long delays at the nation's airports when the sequester kept controllers at home on furlough. Also, more than a third of all federal veterinarians are eligible to retire. An impending national veterinarian shortage is already fueling fears that the U. S. Department of Agriculture will not be able to easily tamp the spread of a severe disease outbreak in animals, according to several federal reports.

Part of a series on Progressivism History [show]Ideas [show]People [show]By region [show]Philosophy portal Politics portalv t e The term New Frontier was used by liberal Democratic [1] presidential candidate John F. Kennedy in his acceptance speech in the 1960 United States presidential election to the Democratic National Convention at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum as the Democratic slogan to inspire America to support him. The phrase developed into a label for his administration's domestic and foreign programs. We stand today on the edge of a New Frontier — the frontier of the 1960s, the frontier of unknown opportunities and perils, the frontier of unfilled hopes and unfilled threats. ... Beyond that frontier are uncharted areas of science and space, unsolved problems of peace and war, unconquered problems of ignorance and prejudice, unanswered questions of poverty and surplus. [ 2]In the words of Robert D. Marcus: \"\"Kennedy entered office with ambitions to eradicate poverty and to raise America’s eyes to the stars through the space program.\"\" [ 3]Amongst the legislation passed by Congress during the Kennedy Administration, unemployment benefits were expanded, aid was provided to cities to improve housing and transportation, funds were allocated to continue the construction of a national highway system started under Eisenhower, a water pollution control act was passed to protect the country’s rivers and streams, and an agricultural act to raise farmers’ incomes was made law. [ 4] A significant amount of anti-poverty legislation was passed by Congress, including increases in social security benefits and in the minimum wage, several housing bills, and aid to economically distressed areas. A few antirecession public works packages, [3] together with a number of measures designed to assist farmers, [5] were introduced.

Puppy Food Puppy food has more calories and nutritional supplements than adult dog food. The higher content is necessary for your pup's growing and developing body. If a dog stays on puppy food too long, it can lead to obesity and orthopedic problems. Puppy food also has more calcium for developing bones.

Growing puppies should only be fed a high quality growth-type diet. But the amount of food the puppy eats is also important. Pups should not be able to eat at will, so don’t keep his bowl filled all the time. Overeating as the puppy grows can lead to devastating skeletal and nutritional disorders, as well as obesity. Also, supplementing his diet with vitamins and minerals can cause serious illness and should only be done on the advice of your veterinarian. For most breeds, offer food twice a day for 20 minutes."

He is an intelligent dog, devoted to his owner (s), moderately territorial though not blatantly aggressive, and pleasant to live with. His most unique feature, his spots, are either black or chocolate brown, which is properly termed \"\"liver\"\". He is clean by nature and has little, If any, \"\"doggy odor\"\". His short coat does shed almost year-round; regular brushing with a curry comb outdoors helps to minimize shedding. Dalmatians are a hardy breed and their day-to-day upkeep does not involve a lot of fussing. They do best in a household situation and indeed will do poorly if left outside on a chain or are otherwise ignored. They are a people-oriented breed, and they bask in the love and attention of their owners. If your idea of owning a dog consists of leaving the dog outside all the time and patting it once a day when you feed it, do not buy a Dalmatian!"

"text": "How often a puppy needs to eat is a simple question with a rather involved answer. asimms1/i Stock/Thinkstock Dr. Jerry Murray1 year ago The frequency for feeding a puppy is one of the most common questions new puppy owners ask me. The answer, of course, depends on a lot of factors, including how old the puppy is, the puppy’s breed, the puppy food you are using, any medical problems the puppy has, what body condition score the puppy has, the activity level of the puppy, and whether the puppy has been spayed or neutered. I will explain how these and other things can influence how often to feed your puppy.1. How Old Is Your Puppy? The age of the puppy makes a big difference in how often to feed. Neonatal puppies should nurse as frequently as the mom will allow, until they are roughly 6 to 8 weeks of age. The mother’s milk will provide the necessary antibodies to protect the puppy from diseases and provide the necessary nutrition. When the puppy is approximately 4 to 6 weeks of age, you can begin transitioning to puppy food by offering small amounts of puppy food that has been softened with puppy milk replacer or warm water. This should be done three to four times a day."

"text": "\"When The Puppy Is No Longer A Puppy According to most veterinarians, a dog is a puppy from birth till nine months of age. From then on, until 15 months of age, it is considered a young do g, and from then on, an adult. Nevertheless, in order to be practical, we'll refer to dogs as adults at one year of age. And around the seventh or eighth month, the puppy will start to eat only twice a day, in other words, breakfast in the morning, and around eight o'clock at night, the main meal. You must follow this system until the puppy is one year-old. From there, stop feeding your dog breakfast and only continue with the evening meal. There are many people who believe that if they only give their dogs one meal a day they are being cruel, and that their dogs will be unhappy. The system that we have just mentioned is the most indicated by veterinarians, breeders and dog lovers all around the world. However, if you do still want to give breakfast to your dog, make sure it is very early the morning and something very light (almost symbolic). The evening meal should still be the main one."

"text": "How many times a day you feed your dog has many different factors, including your dog's age, breed, recommended weight and amount of exercise and treats it gets. However, you should always check with a vet to determine how many times a day (and how much) your dog should eat. Once your dog is on a regimen, it's important to keep track of its weight to be sure that you're not over- or under-feeding. Feeding a Puppy According to the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine, a newborn puppy (three to four weeks old) should be weaned off of its mother. This means that you should begin by feeding it puppy food mixed with milk in a shallow bowl or plate and lessen the amount each time until the puppy begins eating solid food only. A puppy needs to eat about six times a day. This is because it is important for puppies to get the nutrients they need to grow and mature properly. By the time the puppy is six months old, it will only need to eat two or three times per day. It is important to feed your puppy food specially made for puppies, since it contains essential nutrients that adult food does not. Feeding an Adult Dog According to the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine, an adult dog only needs to eat once (or twice, if your dog is a small or toy breed) per day."

Luckily these days I have the expert help of Karren, Swell Pets’ in-house advisor to lend a hand and explain why getting the best food for your puppy can play a key part in their healthy development. What’s the difference between puppy food and adult dog food? The basic difference between puppy food and adult dog food is that puppy food has been specially formulated to meet the nutritional demands of growing dogs. Like humans, puppies grow quickly in their first few months and so they require food that is rich in higher levels of protein, energy and calcium, plus lots of vitamins and minerals compared to adult dogs. The higher levels of certain ingredients in puppy food are just not suited for adult dogs. Above: An example of how good nutrition turns a puppy into a healthy dog. An excellent adult dog food is Arden Grange Lamb and Rice, but there’s a whole range of adult dog food available through Swell Pets, that are designed to meet the needs of the different breeds. As you may have read in previous blog posts the size of the kibble in a dog food can also be targeted for specific breeds and ages of dog."

Taking any creature away from the one nature intended to raise it too early tends to cause insecurity which can lead to temperament and behavior problems down the road. It is not realistic to think you can replace Mom without causing the pup the separation stress that makes them feel vulnerable and anxious. How they react to this vulnerability can vary from over attachment to defensive even if these behaviors take a while to manifest as the puppy grows.

Speculation has it that the sharpness had two more specific purposes: starting the weaning process and aiding the pups in learning the basics of bite inhibition. Weaning When the pups are growing, their teeth start irritating the mother dog when she nurses.

The umbilical cord normally falls off within 2-3 days of birth. Puppies normally twitch and jerk while sleeping. This helps with the development of their nerves and muscles. A healthy puppy is firm, plump, and vigorous. Puppies should nurse every 2 hours or so. If they nurse until their stomachs appear round and they sleep quietly, they are eating enough. If they are crying and moving a lot, they are not eating enough. A puppy may lose weight in the first 24 hours (less than 10% of birth weight), but after that, the weight should increase steadily."

Great question! Growing puppies should only be fed a high quality growth-type diet which you continue feeding this diet until your dog reaches 80 to 90 percent of his anticipated adult weight. For most dogs, this occurs around 9 months of age. Giant breed dogs pose a special problem. These breeds are prone to skeletal problems if not fed properly during their growing phase. There are now special diets for giant breed puppies. For optimal health, feed your giant breed pup this special diet until he is 12 to 18 months of age. Once your puppy has reached the age for a diet change, gradually begin changing his diet by feeding ¼ adult food and ¾ puppy food for a few days."

Zorba was exceptional, but even so, Mastiffs are a giant breed of dog. In height, adult Mastiffs are usually 70 to 85 cm at the shoulder. This means that their head is at the height of an adult's hip. In weight, an adult Mastiff will generally weigh between 60 and 100kgs, more than many owners. On average, males will be taller and heavier than females but there are plenty of exceptions. A Mastiff puppy looks cute and cuddly but as you will realise from these figures, it will grow into a large and powerful dog.

"text": "House Training Schedules for Puppies Dog Care > Puppy Care >29 Mar, 2016 Dr. Nicholas Dodman 248,712 Views Share Almost the first thing a new puppy owner needs to know is “how do I house train”? How do I do it, what can I expect, what should be my goals? Without the right advice, owners can flounder around trying to house train their puppies for months and, in some cases, years. Opinions and expectations vary greatly on this matter, though there are some common truths. Some maintain that puppies can be adopted already house trained at the age of 9 weeks but you have to understand the certain physiological limitations if you are to achieve and maintain this utopian state. At the other end of the spectrum are certain terrier breeders who maintain that their puppies cannot be fully house trained until they are 1 year of age, but I suspect these folk are doing something wrong. It is probably par for the course to bring home a 2 or 3 month old puppy that, when unsupervised, has occasional accidents on the floor, and it is probably reasonable to expect to have the puppy fully trained by 4 months of age. In order to achieve this goal one has to know what one is doing, to invest some time and attention, and to be very patient. Physiological Limitations Within Young Puppies Young puppies of 2, 3, and even 4-months of age have limitations when it comes to the time for which they can contain their urine. The younger they are the less control they have over the muscles that start and stop the flow of urine and the more frequent “bathroom breaks” need to be."

After about 8, 9, 10 weeks of age, or when the puppy arrives at it's new home, the dog should be taught to go potty outside. Do not have paper or potty pads inside your home. Peeing is for outside only, or you are teaching your new pup it is okay to potty inside your home. Take advantage of any early training the breeder hopefully has already done.

Many people ask this question and so often they are given the wrong advice. People will often recommend flea powders, flea rinses, flea collars, essential oils and other chemicals that are far too dangerous to use on puppies less than 6 weeks old. It is not safe to put chemicals on puppies of less than six weeks of age. Fleas themselves can also be very dangerous to young puppies and can even result in a puppy dying from anaemia so you do need to kill these fleas. If the puppy is with it's mother and nursing it is more than likely that the mother dog has a flea infestation so first you need to treat the mother dog. If there are other cats or dogs in the household you need to treat all pets and also your house. How to treat fleas on a very young puppy The safest way to treat a puppy under 6 weeks of age for fleas is to bathe him using warm water and Dawn dishwashing detergent and then to manually pick off remaining fleas. Dawn dishwashing soap is very effective and it kills fleas quickly. Many breeders bathe their dogs in Dawn."

Livestock Guardian Dogs (LGD) have been bred for thousands of years to provide this protection. From bears to coyotes to packs of roaming dogs, LGD's are the best predator protection available. Other types of livestock guardian animals cannot see as well at night and don't seek out predators with their sense of smell like livestock guardian dogs. There are many breeds and sub-breeds of Livestock Guardian Dogs. Anatolian Shepherd, Great Pyrenees, Komandor, Maremma, Ovtcharka, Karst, Tatra, and Kuvasz are a few of the most recognizable LGD's in this country. All breeds perform their jobs similarly, with subtle differences between them. Some mature faster intelligence-wise, others have long coats adapted for comfort in very cold climates, while some breeds are more even-tempered. I prefer the Anatolian Shepherd breed because of its short hair (perfect for hot, dry, thorny West Texas), its sunny disposition, and its early mental maturity."

"text": "dietpooppuppies S. T. A. R. Puppy Teaching your new puppy to potty at the right time and place is one of the most important first steps you can take for a long, happy life together. House soiling is among the top reasons why dogs lose their homes or end up in shelters. Few people are willing to put up with a dog who destroys rugs and flooring, or who leaves a stinky mess that you have to clean after a hard day at work. That’s why it’s so important to make sure that you do some research in advance, decide what will work best for your own situation, and make a plan. There are three tried-and-true methods for training your puppy, says Mary Burch, Ph. D., director of the AKC’s Canine Good Citizen and S. T. A. R. Puppy programs. These include:crate trainingfrequent trips outdoorspaper training Dr. Burch says that there are pros and cons to each, but they all can be successful if you follow a few basic tips, including:control the dietkeep a consistent schedule; this pertains to trips outside, feeding and exerciseprovide regular exercise—exercise helps with motilityreinforce your puppy for “going” outside Let’s explore some of these concepts in depth. RELATED: How to Housetrain an Adult Dog Crates Rank High As Potty Training Tool Many people new to dogs cringe at the idea of confining their puppies in a crate, but the reluctance to use this tool generally evaporates after a few days of living with a new pet. Crates make life easier. It’s a good idea to get your dog accustomed to one for many reasons, such as vet visits, travel, convalescence, and safety."

Principles of effective housetraining: Realize that patience, supervision, a routine sleep-feeding-outside schedule, and praise are the keys to housetraining. Also realize that it is up to the owner to teach the dog where it is appropriate to relieve himself. Be patient. These techniques can be very effective with young dogs as well as older dogs who were not properly housetrained. You may spend a lot of time going outside initially, but the dog will usually catch on quickly and be trained within a few days. Be reasonable.

Puppies need to relieve themselves approximately six times a day. A puppy should be taken out immediately after each meal since a full stomach puts pressure on the colon and bladder. After about 8, 9, 10 weeks of age, or when the puppy arrives at it's new home, the dog should be taught to go potty outside. Do not have paper or potty pads inside your home. Peeing is for outside only, or you are teaching your new pup it is okay to potty inside your home. Take advantage of any early training the breeder hopefully has already done. Teach your pup to potty on a designated spot outdoors, making him think. After you bring home your new puppy the first thing you need to teach the pup is to walk to the door."

The proper nutrition will enhance his/her genetic potential!We highly suggest that you read the dog food labels, and beware the advertising propaganda which can be extremely deceiving and devious. Unfortunately, some ads infer that they are “CHICKEN & OATMEAL,” however, after reading the label you will find that these ingredients are NOT the first or sometimes even the second ingredient. ALWAYS REMEMBER the QUALITY of the food will show on your puppy's skin, coat, and growth. The higher quality, concentrated premium dog foods are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED…they may cost a little more per bag, but they are concentrated, have a higher digestibility rate, and the puppy will have firm to soft smaller stools…PLEASE DON’T SKIMP ON THE FOOD. We prefer that you use the CHICKEN & OATMEAL or CHICKEN & RICE formulas, and ask you to AVOID PRODUCTS with corn as a 1st-4th ingredient;corn because it is nothing more than a filler, high in sugar with no nutritional value and wheat because some puppies (and adults) are allergic; or basically products containing chemical preservatives; maintain protein levels at 21%-25% and fat levels at 15%+. Keep your puppy on the “adult formula” once you have your new family member at home. The reason we use this method is because the Bullmastiff is a fast growing breed which means that they are susceptible to “Panosteitis” or “wandering lameness,” which can affect puppies between five and twelve months of age. We recommend that you keep the protein levels as close to 22% up until 18 months of age. At this point in time you may increase the protein levels up to 25% if the dog is an active dog, show dog, etc."

"text": "\"Raising Puppies at 3 to 3 ½ Weeks Time to start potty training using the \"\"Misty Method\"\"The Misty Method is for the breeders home only, from 3 to 9 weeks. It teaches the dog that there is a designated spot to potty making it easier for the new owner to potty train their new puppy. Contrary to some beliefs, potty training a puppy should start with the breeder very early in life. It is very important at 3 to 3.5 weeks old, when the pups become mobile and start to potty on their own, to set their room up PROPERLY. It is not really a natural thing for a dog to pee or poop in his crate. Wolf mothers are meticulous about keeping the \"\"nest\"\" very clean. So, once a baby starts eating solid food, and the mother no longer cleans it up because it can walk at this point too (at this point the mama wolf and den mates would have trained the pups to eliminate outside the den), it is up to the BREEDER to keep the box/nest very clean. This causes an aversion to poop and pee. When this is done right, by the time the buyer purchases the pup, he will already be ready to not pee in his crate or bed, as they do not pee or poop where they eat or where they sleep. So believe it or not, what goes on from the time of birth to the time you buy the pup plays a big role on the young life and what a buyer will be faced with."

Hypoglycemia, often known as low blood sugar is known as a condition resulting in a sudden drop in blood glucose in a puppy. It can be a problem frequently noticed in the toy breeds. It can also be present in smaller puppies of a litter in comparison to other litter mates or underweight puppies. It is usually brought on by lack of food consumption, stress, infections or poor diet. Puppies of smaller size alike are most prone to hypoglycemia from 2 days to five months of age. 2 day old puppies having hypoglycemia can usually be attributed to a newborn puppy nursing on its mother but not being successful in getting enough milk. Supplement feeding is required for a puppy in this case to avoid fading puppy syndrome which will result in dehydration and death. Newborn puppies must be weighed at birth and then again everyday to monitor weight gain. If no weight gain is noticed within 24 to 32 hours after birth, or any loss of weight, supplement feeding should be given to avoid fading puppy syndrome."

Contents Establish a routine Supervise your puppy When you can't supervise, confine Mistakes happen Make plans for when you're away Establish a routine Like babies, puppies do best on a regular schedule. The schedule teaches them that there are times to eat, times to play and times to do their business. Generally speaking, a puppy can control their bladder one hour for every month of age. So if your puppy is two months old, they can hold it for about two hours. Don't go longer than this between bathroom breaks or they’re guaranteed to have an accident. Take your puppy outside frequently —at least every two hours—and immediately after they wake up, during and after playing, and after eating or drinking. Pick a bathroom spot outside, and always take your puppy (on a leash) to that spot. While your puppy is relieving themselves, use a specific word or phrase that you can eventually use before they go to remind them what to do."

"text": "\"Obama Rekindles State Debates on Dropout Age But experts warn it will take more than new laws to put a real dent in dropout rates By Lesli A. Maxwell February 7, 2012Printer-Friendly Email Article Reprints Comments President Barack Obama's call for every state to require school attendance until age 18 may spark a flurry of action in some statehouses, but changing attendance laws will do little by itself to drive down the nation's dropout rates, experts on the issue say. In his State of the Union address last month, President Obama said states should require that \"\"all students stay in high school until they graduate or turn 18,\"\" and said that when students aren't allowed to drop out, \"\"they do better. \"\" Twenty-one states and the District of Columbia already require students to remain enrolled until they are 18 years old, while 11 others require attendance until age 17, according to the Denver-based Education Commission of the States. The other 18 states still use the traditional age of 16 as their attendance requirement, though lawmakers in several of those states have tried unsuccessfully in recent years to raise it. While bumping up the compulsory-attendance age in state laws sends a strong message to students and parents about the obligation to remain in school, experts and educators alike say that states and districts won't make much of a dent in their dropout problem without comprehensive strategies for making school engaging and relevant and for spotting and addressing early signs of dropping out. How Long Must Students Stay in School Students are required to attend school until age 18 in 21 states and the District of Columbia. Three states—New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and South Dakota—raised the minimum legal dropout age within the past two years. SOURCE: Education Commission of the States\"\"The president is saying that we shouldn't give up on kids as soon as they turn 16, and that we should all see it as our responsibility that they graduate,\"\" said Hedy Chang, the director of the San Francisco-based Attendance Works, a national effort to combat chronic absenteeism. \"\" But it's not enough to just say, 'Do as I say.' Schools have to answer the question of why it matters for these students to be there. \"\""

"text": "Problems still exist with school fire safety By Thomas M. Cunningham WTC Staff writer We are in the midst of a new school year. Our children and those of neighbors and friends set out in the morning for school. A day full of learning and social interaction with others, but, is your children safe? Some schools during the year may experience random acts of violence, such as shootings, stabbings, and physical attacks perpetrated by fellow students. But in the real world many of these schools have more severe problems. Problems that are severe enough that more lives could be lost in a single incident than those from multiple acts of violence. Ask yourself one question, does the school that your child attends, have violations of the Life Safety Code? If yes, then you should be really concerned, especially if you are a member of the emergency services community. What good is a fully sprinklered education facility if the central alarm panel is inoperatable? What good are evacuation horns or strobe lights if they never activate?"

Homeless youth, sometimes referred to as unaccompanied youth, are individuals who lack parental, foster or institutional care. * The National Runaway Switchboard estimates that on any given night there are approximately 1.3 million homeless youth living unsupervised on the streets, in abandoned buildings, with friends or with strangers. Homeless youth are at a higher risk for physical abuse, sexual exploitation, mental health disabilities, substance abuse, and death. It is estimated that 5,000 unaccompanied youth die each year as a result of assault, illness, or suicide. ** Data suggests that the current recession has yielded an increase in homeless and runaway youth. Between 2005 and 2008, the National Runaway Switchboard saw a 200 percent increase in calls from youth indicating economic reasons for running away from home. The Switchboard also reported an increase in the numbers of youth who were kicked out of their homes. A 2008 survey of school districts showed an increase in the number of homeless students. It is important to note that precise numbers of homeless youth are difficult to determine due to lack of a standard methodology and mobility of the homeless population."

"text": "Dan Caplinger ( TMFGalagan)Jun 4, 2016 at 12:17PMSocial Security provides vital retirement benefits for workers after their careers end. But the program goes beyond helping just workers by offering benefits for widows and widowers after their spouses pass away. For many, these survivors benefits make up an essential part of a widow's or widower's retirement income. Let's look more closely at the benefits that Social Security pays to widows and widowers. What benefits can widows and widowers receive from Social Security? Widows and widowers are entitled to receive survivors benefits from Social Security if their spouse worked long enough paying Social Security payroll taxes to qualify. The amount of time the deceased spouse must have worked depends on age at death. But no one needs to have earned more than 40 Social Security credits -- 10 years of work for most people -- for a surviving spouse to claim widowers or widows benefits. In cases involving minor children, working just a year and a half out of the most recent three years can be enough to guarantee benefits for a surviving spouse caring for those children.

Why so?

Update: Readers have pelted us with hundreds of questions since this column was first published. Read Bob Powell’s follow up answering their questions: Everything you need to know about the Social Security claiming deadline. It’s important to note that April 29 is the deadline for the file-and-suspend strategy, but it is not the deadline for filing a restricted application. “The restricted application strategy doesn’t really have a deadline,” said Jeffrey Levine, a retirement expert with Ed Slott & Co. and author of The Definitive Guide to Required Minimum Distributions for Baby Boomers. “"

( This length of marriage requirement is waived if you are caring for a child of the deceased spouse who is under the age of 16. ) What Age Can You Begin Your Social Security Survivor Benefit? You can collect a monthly survivor benefit as early as age 60, but at this age you will only receive about 70% of the amount you could get if you wait until your survivor full retirement age (which is age 66 for people born in 1945-1956 and will gradually increase to age 67 for people born in 1962 or later.) Note: full retirement age to qualify for survivor benefits uses a different date of birth table than full retirement age to qualify for your retirement benefit. If you are disabled, you can collect a Social Security survivor’s benefit as early as age 50. You can collect at any age if you are caring for a child of the deceased spouse who is under the age of 16. You can collect an immediate one-time death benefit payment of $255 at any age. Survivor Benefit Basics The benefit calculation depends on whether your or your spouse had or had not started receiving benefits.

For example, the earliest age you can collect your Social Security retirement benefits is age 62, but there is an exception for widows and widowers, who can begin benefits as early as age 60.

Robert Schmansky According to the 2009 Social Security period life table, approximately 19 percent of the population will pass before age 67, and this figure is 10 percentage points over the rate at age 57. Although passing before a normal retirement age may only impact a minority of the population, retirement income plans for those who experience the premature passing of a loved spouse may seem as if they are thrown askew. In those cases it can be difficult to know if or when benefits will be available or how Social Security and retirement income might change. A 2004 article titled “The Economic Consequences of a Husband’s Death: Evidence from the HRS and AHEAD” published in the Social Security Bulletin found that death in the years just before retirement can have a devastating impact on the financial outlook for the survivor. The loss of expected financial benefits during those years can significantly impact a non-working or lower-earning spouse as this is typically the time that the higher-earning spouse is at the peak of her earning and saving potential, combined with the fact that many lower-earning spouses will be less likely to develop new skill sets or begin a new career during their final working years. One aspect of Social Security that many approaching their 60s as a widow (er) may not be aware of are the survivor benefits for spouses and divorced spouses of decedents. This is a benefit on the Social Security record of a prior spouse who qualified for benefits. Eligible widow (er)s are those who were married for at least nine months before the death (this is waived if death is due to an accident or military duty), or surviving divorced spouses who were married for at least 10 years and did not remarry until after age 60. If you are in your 50s and disabled, you may also qualify for a benefit, or if you are disabled and divorced after being married for at least 10 years."

"text": "What's the Earliest Age to Claim Social Security? Many people don't know the answer to this basic question about their retirement benefits. Dan Caplinger ( TMFGalagan)Oct 11, 2015 at 8:00AMSource: Flickr user Helga Weber. Tens of millions of Americans rely on Social Security for a substantial amount of their retirement income, but many people don't understand even the most basic elements of how Social Security works. For instance, one of the most important questions about Social Security is when you can start claiming benefits, and surprisingly, a recent AARP survey found that almost four out of 10 Americans don't know the age at which they become eligible to claim. The question of when you should claim Social Security benefits involves a host of personalized factors, but when you can claim is an easy question to answer. As you'll see below, there are a few nuances to consider, but the general rule covers the vast majority of Americans. The magic age: 62 For most recipients, age 62 is the earliest you can claim Social Security benefits. That age applies to anyone claiming retirement benefits based on their own work history. Among those surveyed who didn't know the answer to the question, about three-quarters thought the age was higher, while the remainder believed they could claim earlier."

"text": "\"Jul 29, 2013 @ 2:40 pm By Mary Beth Franklin A young widow contacted me recently to ask about what would happen to her Social Security survivor benefits now that she has returned to work full time. \"\" I know that I qualify for monthly benefits because my child is under the age of 16, but I assumed that once I returned to work full time, those benefits would stop,\"\" Jeana wrote in an e-mail. She had recently received notification from the Social Security Administration that because of the gross pay that she told it she would earn this year, her monthly survivor benefits would resume next month and continue throughout the rest of this year. A widow or widower of any age who is caring for the minor dependent child under 16 of a deceased worker is entitled to survivor benefits equal to 75% of the deceased worker's benefit. A surviving spouse who is full retirement age or older is entitled to benefits worth 100% of the deceased worker's benefit. \"\" I do not want to accept these payments if I am going to have to turn around and pay them back,\"\" Jeana wrote. \"\" Can you clarify my situation? \"\" No worries, Jeana. You can continue to work and collect Social Security benefits for the remainder of the year based on your estimated earnings for 2013. Once your child turns 16, your survivor benefits will stop."

Married couples, divorced individuals, widows and widowers have a multitude of claiming strategies they might employ. But if you or a spouse is currently claiming Social Security disability benefits or has a public pension, it can be even more important to plan ahead. \"\" It can get really muddy,\"\" said Mark La Spisa, a certified financial planner and president of Vermillion Financial Advisors in South Barrington, Illinois.

What is maximum income a widow can make to receive her husband's Social Security? Expert Answers Joseph L. Matthews is a Caring.com Expert, an attorney, and the author of Long-Term Care: How to Plan & Pay for It and Social Security, Medicare, & Government Pensions: Get the Most Out of Your Retirement & Medical Benefits . You can collect Social Security Survivors Benefits based on your husband's Social Security work record as early as age 60. But if you claim benefits before you reach your full benefits age, your survivors benefits will be reduced based on income you earn over the yearly limit. What's your full benefits age? It's the same as your full retirement age for claiming your own Social Security retirement benefits – between 65 and 66, depending on the year you were born. Once you reach full retirement age, there is no limit on the income you can earn and still collect your full survivors benefits. If you are less than full retirement age, though, Social Security deducts $1 from your benefits for each $2 you earn above $13,560. That's the limit for 2008 – it goes up each year. This limit only applies to money you earn from current work."

The agreement helps many people who, without it, would not be eligible for monthly retirement, disability, or survivors benefits under the social security system of one or both countries. The agreement also helps people who would otherwise have to pay social security taxes to both countries on the same earnings. This new agreement replaces the old Agreement between the United States of America and the Swiss Confederation on Social Security signed July 18, 1979, and the Supplementary Agreement signed June 1, 1988. For the United States, the agreement covers Social Security taxes (including the U. S. Medicare portion) and Social Security retirement, disability, and survivors benefits. It does not cover benefits under the U. S. Medicare program or the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. For Switzerland, the agreement covers old-age, retirement, survivors, and disability benefits. This booklet covers highlights of the agreement and explains how it may help you while you work and when you apply for benefits.

Share Flip Pin Email•••By Dana Anspach Updated August 08, 2017The rules on collecting a Social Security widow benefit are complicated. The amount of benefits a surviving spouse can get depends on factors like their age, the age of the deceased, and whether the spouse who passed away had started their own benefits or not. For many widows and widowers, there are ways to get higher benefits, but you have to know the rules. Too many widows and widowers make a quick decision and miss out on money because they do not understand all the choices that are available. It pays to do your homework before claiming a widow/widower Social Security benefit. Here's what you need to know. Who Is Eligible? If you were married for nine months or more to someone who has passed away, and they had worked long enough that at retirement they would receive their own Social Security (even if they had not started benefits yet), then you are eligible for a widow/widower benefit. The earliest age you can collect a Social Security widow/widower benefit is age 60. ("

It cannot lower, and will only increase, your benefits if it is applied. Social Security benefits received before a beneficiary's FRA will be reduced if they have covered earnings above the exempt amount. Spouse's and widow (er)'s benefits can be reduced due to either or both spouses having covered earnings exceeding the exempt amount before FRA. The earnings test is two tiered: Before FRA Year: the benefit is reduced by $1 for every $2 earned over the exempt amount. This reduces the benefits by ½ of the earnings over the exempt amount. In FRA Year: the benefit is reduced by $1 for every $3 earned prior to the FRA over the full annual exempt amount. If applicable, this reduces the benefits by 1/3 of the earnings over the exempt amount. After FRA, the earnings test is not applied. The ARF is applied upon attainment of FRA for beneficiaries who began receipt of retirement, spouse's, or widow (er)'s benefits early and had earnings in excess of the exempt amount."

Also See Is the 4% Rule Still Viable? How to Outsmart Social Security Retire Here, Not There: Maine I know: Waiting to claim Social Security until your mid-60s or later isn't easy. Many people need the cash, are fearful that the program might change (or collapse), or are trying to avoid tapping their savings for as long as possible. But two trends make this a good time to look at \"\"claiming strategies\"\" for Social Security and help illustrate just how much money is involved. First, a recent report from the Census Bureau highlights a startling fact: The 90-plus population is projected to quadruple in size between now and 2050 -- meaning that living into your tenth decade is something to factor into Social Security planning. Second, a growing number of Web-based tools now allow you to run dozens of possible claiming strategies -- and can recommend how to maximize benefits. How to Outsmart Social Security For the examples below, I asked the folks at Social Security Solutions.com in Leawood, Kan., for help; I like that the company's lead researcher, Baylor University finance professor William Reichenstein, has written extensively about how best to tap nest eggs.

Today's first two questions deal with that issue. Q: Following your advice, when I turned 66 I filed for Social Security on my husband's record. I plan to receive a wife's benefit on his account until age 70, at which point I will switch to my own Social Security retirement benefits. I just got a new Medicare card in the mail and it confuses me. It has my husband's Social Security number on it followed by the letter \"\"B.\"\" Shouldn't my Medicare card number match my Social Security number? A: No, the number on your Medicare card will not always match your own Social Security number. What it will match is your Social Security claim number, which may be different from your regular Social Security number. You are currently claiming wife's benefits on your husband's record.

Once they’re able to sit up in a high chair and bring their hands to their mouths (they’ll demonstrate this by putting anything and everything into their mouths! ), they’ll be able to consume a variety of finger foods. These include cereals and other grains (Cheerios, soft breads, crackers, pasta); fruits (bananas, applesauce); vegetables (potatoes, peas, beans); and meats (such as skinless poultry and beef). It’s important to prepare these foods in a way that minimizes choking risks; puree, gently mash, or cut foods into small pieces to make them easier to swallow.

You’ve been told to give him calorie dense drinks like Ensure, Pediasure, or Boost; lots of butter, pudding, whole milk, and cream; and of course, lots of ice cream. Is this healthy? Seeing these common recommendations is one of my least favorite findings as a dietitian in private practice working with kids. There are four problems here that can interfere with restoring your child’s robust health: One, these drinks and foods are made with conventionally raised dairy products, which can contain bovine growth hormone, pesticides, traces of genetically modified feed corn proteins, and antibiotics, not to mention possible heavy metals from agricultural chemicals. All of these agricultural interventions have been linked to problems ranging from higher incidence of ADHD to earlier onset menses, other hormone disruptions in boys and girls, allergies, and neurological disorders. Two, the child’s underweight status may be at least partly due to an undiagnosed milk protein intolerance or allergy – which irritates and inflames the gut, making nutrients and energy even harder to absorb. Be sure to get this sorted out before relying on any milk protein sources in your child’s diet. Three, milk protein (casein) is often a constipating protein source, especially in children with some digestive insufficiency issues, like reflux or imbalanced gut microflora. Healthy gut microflora (bacteria) add enzymes to help us digest and absorb food, and keep bowel habits on track."

The few plant foods that are sources of B12 are actually B12 analogs, which blocks the uptake of true B12 and actually increases your need for it. B12 is stored in your liver, kidneys and other body tissues. As a result, a deficiency may not be apparent for about seven years. Initial symptoms of deficiency include: lack of motivation, apathy, mental fogginess, muscle weakness and fatigue. Chronic long-term B12 deficiency can lead to serious conditions such as depression, dementia, and fertility problems. By Dr. Mercola The average non-vegetarian stores between 2,000 and 3,000 picograms of B-12 per day. B-12 helps change homocysteine into methionine. When this does not happen, homocysteine levels increase, which recent research has associated heart disease and deterioration of the arteries and nerves. Although many vegan foods are said to have active B-12, few are proving to actually raise B-12 or prevent its loss."

Foodborne illnesses are infections or irritations of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract caused by food or beverages that contain harmful bacteria, parasites, viruses, or chemicals. The GI tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. Common symptoms of foodborne illnesses include vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and chills. Most foodborne illnesses are acute, meaning they happen suddenly and last a short time, and most people recover on their own without treatment. Rarely, foodborne illnesses may lead to more serious complications. Each year, an estimated 48 million people in the United States experience a foodborne illness. Foodborne illnesses cause about 3,000 deaths in the United States annually. 1What causes foodborne illnesses? The majority of foodborne illnesses are caused by harmful bacteria and viruses."

Fatty Foods for Infants Food Portion Sizes for Babies at 7 Months Soft Food for Infants The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends that infants exclusively breast-feed during the first six months of life and consume breast milk and complementary foods from 6 to 12 months of age. Infant formula can be used in place of breast milk. Always check with your pediatrician before giving an infant yogurt to make sure the baby is ready. Do not offer an infant yogurt during the first six months of life; low-fat and fat-free yogurt should not be offered to an infant at all. Best Yogurt for Infants If your infant is at least 6 months old and your pediatrician gives the OK, you may offer your baby small amounts of whole-milk baby yogurt. Adult yogurt is simply regular, low-fat or fat-free yogurt marketed to an adult population; baby yogurt is whole-milk based, usually organic and marketed for babies. Many brands of adult yogurts are low-fat or fat-free, which is not ideal for an infant. However, full-fat adult yogurts made with whole milk are acceptable to offer to a baby. Whole-milk yogurt is high in dietary fat, and high-fat diets are essential for an infant's growth and development, especially cognitive development."

She may even be learning to grab finger foods and drink from a cup. Between the ages of 8 and 12 months, it's common for babies to have three meals a day plus a few snacks. But, it's also really important that breast milk (or infant formula if you're not breastfeeding or using breast milk) continue to be a regular part of the daily diet. Exclusive Breastfeeding After the first 4 to 6 months of exclusive breastfeeding, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends the continuation of breastfeeding along with the addition of complementary foods for a year or longer. The World Health Organization recommends that breastfeeding continues for two years or longer. These recommendations are in place because breastfeeding continues to provide many health and developmental benefits to children well after six months of age. Breastfeeding is all your child needs for the first four to six months. But, after six months your breast milk will not be enough to provide your baby with all the nutrition that she needs as she grows. Your child needs additional foods that contain vital nutrients such as iron, protein, and zinc."

Of course, you already know how important a balanced diet full of whole grains, vegetables, fruit and lean proteins is, but when it comes to babies and toddlers, one thing I always found missing from their diet was fish. Parents didn't seem to think it was a \"\"baby\"\" food. But over the years, I'd been reading more and more about the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids, essential nutrients found in seafood. Study after study was proving their contribution to infant brain development and more. I began \"\"prescribing\"\" omega-3's to my patients in 2000 by encouraging their parents to offer them more fish. Since then, I've only grown more convinced that omega-3's are the head-to-toe nutrient because they're good for nearly every organ of a child's body, from the brain to the skin. Most parents, however, are unsure about feeding their babies fish, which is the richest source of DHA, the healthiest type of omega-3 fatty acid for infants. Here's why—and how—to \"\"go fish,\"\" for both your baby and you!Fish facts What eating fish can do for you and your baby: Make your baby smarter. In the '80s and early '90s, initial research suggested that infants who received DHA-enriched formula experienced improved cognitive development, leading the U. S.

In the past, doctors recommended lengthy delays in introducing certain foods to at-risk babies. However, recent research has shown that delaying the introduction of allergenic foods may actually increase the risk of developing severe food allergies. In 2008, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) changed its guidelines for introducing solids to babies and toddlers who are at-risk for food allergies. The AAP now recommends exclusive breastfeeding or hypoallergenic formula for the first 4 to 6 months of age, then a gradual introduction of solid foods, one at a time. The First Four Months Your newborn needs only liquid nourishment. The AAP recommends exclusively breastfeeding your baby or feeding your baby hypoallergenic formula. Both milk-based and soy-based infant formulas have been shown to increase the risk of developing food allergies in at-risk babies. If you are unable to breastfeed or if your baby reacts to food proteins in your breast milk, talk to your baby’s pediatrician about the prescription hydrolyzed formula for your baby. There is no evidence that avoiding certain foods while breastfeeding will prevent food allergies or reduce the risk of your baby developing food allergies."

Age of parents – A University of Queensland, Australia study suggests that becoming a father at age 40 or older is linked to baby at a higher risk of schizopherenia, autism and syndromes that cause facial and skull abnormalities. They also found that those born to older dads scored more poorly on a range of intelligence tests that looked at concentration, memory, reasoning and reading skills.

But \"\"cry it out\"\" (CIO) simply refers to any sleep training approach – and there are many – that says it's okay to let a baby cry for a specified period of time (often a very short period) before offering comfort. In his 1985 book Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems (revised and expanded in 2006), pediatrician Richard Ferber presented one method of getting children to sleep that has become virtually synonymous with cry it out – so much so that you may hear parents refer to cry it out as \"\"Ferberizing. \"\" Ferber himself never uses the phrase \"\"cry it out.\"\" And he's only one of a number of sleep experts who say that crying, while not the goal, is for some children an unavoidable part of sleep training. Most pediatricians agree that crying is normal and cry it out methods work well for many families. What's the theory behind cry it out? The cry it out approach assumes that falling asleep on your own is a skill your baby can master if you give him the opportunity.

You've made it through the worst of the sleepless nights and are ready to move into establishing a bedtime routine for Baby. A full night of sleep is within your reach!By Linda Di Properzio Facebook Pinterest Twitter Email1of 12Stockbyte Sleep Hours By now, your baby's internal clock has kicked in, and he can differentiate between day and night. He should be on the way toward an established sleep pattern. During this time, babies need an average of 14 hours of sleep per day: At 4 months, a baby can go eight hours at night without a feeding; by 5 months, he can sleep for 10 or 11 hours straight. Babies will sleep four to five hours during the day, spread out over three naps. At 6 months, babies need an average of 11 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night, and 3.5 hours of daytime naps spread over two to three naps.2of 12Kaysh Shinn Time to Make the Move? This is usually the stage where a baby becomes too big for the bassinet and is moved to his crib, preferably in his own room where he can sleep without interruption. But what if you've been using a cosleeper or bedside crib? \"\" If you find that you like the idea of cosleeping but everybody is tired all the time -- if it's all 'co-' and no 'sleep' -- consider whether it's time to make a change,\"\" says Kim West, aka \"\"The Sleep Lady\"\" and author of The Sleep Lady's Good Night, Sleep Tight."

It helps to know what to expect and how to support your child through the changes. Social changes and emotional changes: what to expect in adolescence During adolescence, you’ll notice changes in the way your child interacts with family, friends and peers. Every teen’s social and emotional development is different. Your child’s unique combination of genes, brain development, environment, experiences with family and friends, and community and culture shape development. Social changes and emotional changes show that your child is forming an independent identity and learning to be an adult. Social changes You might notice that your teen is:searching for identity: young people are busy working out who they are and where they fit in the world. This search can be influenced by gender, peer group, cultural background, media, school and family expectationsseeking more independence: this is likely to influence the decisions your child makes and the relationships your child has with family and friendsseeking more responsibility, both at home and at schoollooking for new experiences: the nature of teenage brain development means that teenagers are likely to seek out new experiences and engage in more risk-taking behaviour. But they’re still developing control over their impulsesthinking more about “right” and “wrong”: your child will start developing a stronger individual set of values and morals. Teenagers also learn that they’re responsible for their own actions, decisions and consequences."

"text": "Fall 2010Family and Relationships Teaching Children the Art of Self-Control Gina Stepp The breathtaking joys of parenthood are inextricably linked to its immense responsibilities. When these are not met, the joys are diminished for all concerned—often for generations to follow. Of the responsibilities parents tacitly accept when they bring a child into the world, perhaps the most important is teaching how to regulate thoughts, emotions and behavior. Children who reach adolescence without developing this ability are more likely to fail academically, exhibit aggressive behavior, abuse substances, engage in high-risk sexual behavior and—as a result of any or all of these—generally experience negative life events. Unfortunately, many parents who struggle in this area themselves are ill-equipped to pass these skills down. Yet some researchers will go so far as to suggest that most if not all major problems that plague individuals of all ages in our society, including a number of health problems and mental issues, can be traced in some way to an inability to appropriately control aspects of the self.“ Almost everything the self is or does is tied in some way to self-regulation. ”Roy F. Baumeister and Kathleen D. Vohs, Handbook of Self-Regulation (2004)While this crucial skill is often legitimately referred to simply as self-control, a broader term, self-regulation, unites overlapping ideas related to and in some ways inseparable from goal attainment. When a discrepancy arises between our current state and our desired state, we’re motivated to alter our thoughts, emotions or behaviors. The term self-control describes the conscious effort to change behavior and thus reduce this discrepancy, while self-regulation encompasses this as well as more automatic processes—and both are important in human development."

"text": "How Much Does a 3-Month-Old Baby Sleep?by Modern Mom Staff Share Tweet Sleep is a basic human requirement. Without enough of it, it can be difficult to function and make it through the day. While the exact amount of time a 3-month-old baby sleeps can vary slightly from baby to baby, there is a normal amount of sleep that most 3-month-olds require to support healthy growth and development. Sleep Requirements On average, 3-month-old babies sleep about 13 hours per 24-hour period. For most 3-month-olds, this equates to 8 1/2 hours of nighttime sleeping and 4 1/2 hours of daytime sleep. Most 3-month-olds divide their daytime sleep between three to five naps. Importance of Adequate Sleep In addition to being generally happy and content, an adequate amount of sleep allows for proper brain maturation, body growth, learning and memory development. During sleep, the hormones responsible for physical development are released. When a baby fails to get enough sleep on a regular basis, it can lead to immune system dysfunction, stress, exhaustion and issues with health, growth and development. Sleep Routines Around 3 months of age, babies should begin to be on a fairly regular schedule."

He never would sleep in his bassinet.well he is getting bigger and I am worried that he should start to sleep in the crib now.

I have been trying to start with just naps, and he will cry for like 20 mins until I come in there and rub his belly till he falls asleep (usually that takes 10 mins). What age do you think is appropriate for a baby to be moved to his crib?? Any tips to make this transition easier.....on BOTH of us?

"text": "What It Is Gentle Parenting is a scientific, evidence based, approach to raising confident and happy children. It is a parenting ethos characterised by the following four tenets: Empathy Gentle Parents are ‘mind minded’, that is they raise their children in a manner that they are aware and considerate of the child’s feelings. Too many parenting styles consider only the parent’s feelings when resolving problems, yet research shows us that the best way to raise an empathic child (or what many would call “a kind child”) is to be empathic towards them. Most difficult parenting situations arise because the child’s needs are misunderstood, this is largely because most popular parenting methods consider young children “manipulative” or “naughty”. If the parent takes time to consider the child’s feelings and the root cause of their misbehaviour, in most cases it becomes obvious that the child’s behaviour is a sign of distress, unease, anxiety or fear. Once the true feeling and cause behind a behaviour has been identified it can be dealt with and ultimately the reasoning behind the ‘bad behaviour’ is extinguished, leaving the unwanted behaviour extinct. If parents only respond to the superficial behaviour without empathy the root cause is never dealt with and the behaviour will either continue or will manifest in another undesirable behaviour at a later date.2. Respect Most parents demand respect from their children, yet few truly respect their children in turn. This is a two-way equation. If parents respect their children and most importantly their child’s unique feelings and personality, then the child in turn is more likely to respect the parent."

"text": "Room Alone Having a baby sleep in a separate room increases the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and makes it more difficult to respond quickly to their needs. Official guidelines tell parents to keep babies in the parent (s) room until they are 6 months old. This is because the risk of SIDS (cot death) is greater for babies who sleep on their own compared to sleeping in the presence of an adult. The largest UK study (CESDI)? found that out of 321 babies whose death was classified as SIDS, 114 died when they were alone in a room, compared to 81 who were room-sharing. Despite this advice some parents have their baby sleep in its own room from birth because they have prepared a room for the baby, and others move their baby to a separate room at around 3 months of age (babies are most at risk of SIDS at 2-3 months of age). Sometimes this is because there is no room for a cot/crib in the parents' room when a baby outgrows a Moses basket. Other times it is because the baby is preventing one or both parents from sleeping. There are other options you could consider: If there is no room for the baby's cot in your room, could you fit a single bed in the baby's room where a parent could sleep near to the baby? If the baby is disturbing one parent who needs to be alert for work, could that parent sleep in a separate room for a few months instead of the baby?"

But, the morality of suicide is different than the question: is suicide illegal? Rarely do people take the middle ground on the subject of suicide. Similar to capital punishment, the issue of suicide — assisted or otherwise — is polarizing. Most of us believe suicide is either a personal decision that should be left up to individuals or that suicide is an act so egregious that the state simply cannot permit it in any form. The simple answer to the question of whether suicide is illegal or not is two part. Yes, suicide is illegal in some instances while not in others.

Sudden infant death syndrome (also known as SIDS) is defined as the sudden death of an infant younger than 1 year of age. If the child's death remains unexplained after a formal investigation into the circumstances of the death (including performance of a complete autopsy, examination of the death scene, and review of the clinical history), the death is then attributed to SIDS. Sudden infant death is a tragic event for any parent or caregiver. SIDS is suspected when a previously healthy infant, usually younger than 6 months of age, is found dead in bed. In most cases, no sign of distress is identifiable. The baby typically feeds normally prior to being placed in bed to sleep. The infant is then discovered lifeless, without pulse or respiration."

"text": "\"Home » Housing » Section 8 HCV » FAQ E-mail Print Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8) FAQ's Landlord FAQs: How can I tell if my unit is eligible for the Housing Choice Voucher Program? Any type of housing may be rented - apartments, houses, duplexes, row houses etc - as long as the unit is located within the West Palm Beach Housing Authority jurisdiction (Palm Beach County), meets HUD Housing Quality Standards, qualifies as an eligible type and the rent is reasonable for the size, type, and location of unit. How can a landlord increase rent? Rent increases are not automatically implemented and can only be requested 90 days prior to the annual renewal. The landlord must give the tenant at least a ninety (90) day written notice of an increase before it can go into effect. A copy of the increase with the tenant's signature must be submitted to WPBHA before the rent increase can take effect. WPBHA does not put a limit on the amount the landlord can request for an increase; however, the new requested rent must be reasonable in comparison with other similar units in the area. Once WPBHA receives the notice of rent increase, a rent comparability study is conducted to determine if the new rent for the unit is reasonable in comparison to unassisted private market units in the area. If it is determined that the rent is not reasonable, WPBHA will contact the landlord and advise him/her of a reasonable rental amount for the unit. If the landlord does not agree to the amount, the Housing Authority and landlord will have to negotiate another acceptable amount or the owner can provide the family with a notice to vacate."

"text": "Pregnancy Loss Causes and Risk Factors Premature Birth and Survival Statistics Birth weight and steroids affect a preemie's odds of survival By Krissi Danielsson | Reviewed by Meredith Shur, MDUpdated April 08, 2018Share Pin Email Print Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images Many women, especially those who are anxious after a past pregnancy loss, breathe a sigh of relief after the pregnancy reaches the point at which the baby would be able to survive if born early. Pinpointing that date is complicated and many factors affect premature infant survival and the possibility of impairments or disabilities after birth. Age of Viability Strictly speaking, most doctors define the age of viability as being about 24 weeks of gestation. In many hospitals, 24 weeks is the cutoff point for when doctors will use intensive medical intervention to attempt to save the life of a baby born prematurely. A baby born at 24 weeks would generally require a lot of intervention, potentially including mechanical ventilation and other invasive treatments followed by a lengthy stay in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). In the hands of experienced specialists, babies born slightly earlier may have a chance at survival. Babies born at 23 weeks may survive in a state-of-the-art NICU, but the odds of survival are much lower. The odds of survival increase as the pregnancy progresses, and even an extra week in the womb can make a difference. In general, premature babies born closer to 37 weeks will be better off than those born before 28 weeks. Factors Affecting Survival Multiple factors can play into whether or not a baby will survive premature birth, including the baby's birth weight."

My dd started to sit up on her own around 4 months then she never stopped - she pulled herself up one day on to the couch and it was that very same week that she went from the couch to the loveseat - she was only 7 months old - it was crazy. Of course during the time I would let her walk holding her hands so she did know what walking was - but at 7 months she did it on her own. She did not crawl until around 10 months. She started to crawl one day and I had to go grab the video camera and everyone was like what is the big deal she already walks. I said she never crawled before :) Now she is is 22 months old and does not let me put her in a stroller it is a nightmare - I am currently 7 months pregnant and I I am not teaching my new baby how to walk until he starts school. haha Mar 13, 2009Upvote - 0pinkbellethis baby can barely sit up on her own and she doesnt pull herself up on things.. so im skeptical.. i think she was just being a competive mom... the ped told me that aubree should walk between 9 months -15 months well she is almost 10 months now... when i say walking i mean walking on their own without holding on to anything.. just to clarify.. aubree will zoom around the couch and loveseat and even go from the loveseat to the end table which is like 2 feet in between.. but she can not walk unassisted .. i think its her balance.. shes very very wobbly.. and usually falls forward or backwards Mar 13, 2009Upvote - 0cantwait4baby Sounds like she will be just taking off one day when you least expect it - if she is going from one thing to the other without holding on she is going to get those feet moving across the living room in no time."

They can diagnose a pregnancy in various ways depending on how long your guinea pig has been pregnant. Some vets can do ultrasound exams to visualise babies in the womb. In later gestation vets may be able to take an xray or gently palpate the babies. They may be able to feel or see the babies moving. They may also be able to hear the babies' heart beats in the mother’s abdomen. There are vets who specialise in exotic animal medicine and surgery, including guinea pigs: your local vet can refer you to a guinea pig vet if necessary. How long is a guinea pig pregnancy? The guinea pig pregnancy duration is long - approximately 59- 72 days (the average is 65 days) - the duration decreases with litter size (i.e. the smaller the litter, the longer the pregnancy)."

"text": "Toddlers Growth & Development When Will My Baby Will Learn to Walk? By Stephanie Brown Updated August 12, 2017Share Pin Email Print Tom Merton/Caiaimage/Getty Images Babies develop at different rates, and learning to walk is no different. However, some parents worry when their child has not hit this milestone by 12 months old. Not to worry, it's perfectly normal for a child to not be walking at their first birthday. In fact, most babies don't start toddling until around 13 months. Some may not even walk until 15-16 months of age and that's still just fine. Remember that every child is different and has her own developmental timetable. Babies Who Crawl Sometimes Aren't Interested in Walking Now, even though your child is operating at her own pace, know that you can always give a little encouragement. Maybe your child is an expert crawler, for example, who finds little interest in walking. She's completely mobile and crawling serves her well."

"text": "\"Crawling and Walking Growth and Development / Baby / Home / Crawling and Walking Crawling Are you wondering when your baby is finally going to start crawling? They may have been rolling around the room for a couple of months, and inching along on their tummy, or even getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth, they haven't quite figured out how to get their arms and legs coordinated so they can go places. If you're curious to know when your baby is going to start crawling, keep in mind that crawling usually happens after your baby has mastered the art of sitting. Crawling sometimes doesn't happen until several months after they learn to sit, although some babies learn to crawl first and sit soon afterwards. A baby's desire and enthusiasm to crawl will coincide with their desire to lie on their stomach. They may have once hated tummy time, but once they can roll over themselves and get used to laying on their belly, and have then started to get up on all fours, crawling should follow soon after. Floor time play should be encouraged, so your baby can discover the art of holding their head up and pushing up on their hands. A proper crawling position, which is moving along deliberately with the tummy off the ground, is unusual before six months. However, even though your baby has not fully mastered crawling, it doesn't mean that they are totally unable to move at all, so be mindful that they can easily put themselves in dangerous situations. You may turn your back for an instant and turn around to find that they have inched their way over to the TV cord or are pulling at a low-hanging tablecloth!"

"text": "\"Genetic Advantages of Texas Longhorn Cattle By Michael Casey Printable PDF - Genetics Advantages of Texas Longhorn Cattle__________________________________As longhorns migrated throughout the North American continent during the four hundred years between the 16th and mid 19th centuries, they evolved through a process of natural selection. Only the strongest of those cattle, (the ones which could travel very long distances, often with little feed or water, and could efficiently utilize scant grazing resources while still breeding and raising healthy calves each year), could survive and contribute to the gene pool. The strengths of the breed reflect the rugged natural survival requirements they faced. Coincidentally, many of these traits are what make them very special and highly desirable cattle in today's environment. 1. Longevity: Longhorns typically live well into their late teens and often into their twenties. Indeed, there are recorded instances of longhorns living into their thirties. As an example, we have a cow, Day's Bobbie Sue, who is still going strong at 23 and walks up and down the rather steep hills of our California ranch with relative ease, albeit somewhat slower than her herdmates. Longhorn cows are capable of producing as many as twenty or more calves. Thus, the female Longhorn \"\"factory\"\"; has as much as twice the production capacity of the \"\"factories\"\" of other breeds."

The most severe form is called myelomeningocele. Most children with this birth defect survive, but they can be left with many disabilities, including paralysis, difficulty with bowel and bladder control, a Chiari II malformation, hydrocephalus (excessive fluid in the brain), and developmental delay. In general, the higher the spinal opening occurs on the back, the greater the physical impairment. Treatment for Myelomeningocele Infants with myelomeningocele have always had surgery shortly after birth to protect the spinal cord by closing the normal tissues of the back. Very often, a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt was also placed to treat hydrocephalus. Due to the success of the MOMS Study, fetal surgery is now considered to be a treatment option for some cases of myelomeningocele.

But do you really need one? Our 3 guidelines will help you decide. Keep this product's short life span in mind Your baby will probably use a bouncer for only five or six months. In those early days you'll be relieved to have a safe place to put him besides the crib so you can grab a quick bite, for example. But once he can sit up unassisted, he'll probably move on to doing more interesting things, like playing and rolling, and the bouncy seat could become hazardous. At that point, a play yard might be a safer place for your little explorer. Go with baby’s flow Some infants will nap in bouncers, but many babies just enjoy hanging out and interacting with the rest of the family from their own comfortable seat. You might love the look of a bouncer but that doesn't guarantee your baby will like it one bit—even if it has multiple vibrating settings and plays Beethoven."

Since then, Lionel Messi has proven the point over and over again, including an impossible goal against Athletic Bilbao to help FC Barcelona win the Copa Del Rey. In their Group F World Cup match late last month, Argentina and Iran were still deadlocked after 90 minutes. With the game in stoppage time and the score tied at 0-0, Lionel Messi took the ball near the right corner of the penalty area, held it for a moment, then broke left, found his seam, took his strike and curled it in from 29 yards. What was going to be a draw was now a win, and Messi had put Argentina into the Round of 16. It was the sort of play that inspired the phrase “ Messi magic .” But for those who only watch soccer when the World Cup rolls around, this was probably only the second (or at most third) goal they’d seen from the little man they call La Pulga (“The Flea”). Despite having 407 career goals in club and international play (including a record 91 in 2012 alone) and a record four Ballon d’Or (World Player of the Year) awards, until this year’s tournament, Messi hadn’t scored in a World Cup match since 2006. Since scoring an eerily familiar goal in the 2007 Copa Del Rey, Messi has constantly been compared to Argentine great and his former national team coach Diego Maradona. Despite his young age — he turned 27 on June 24 — Messi has taken substantial criticism in Argentina and elsewhere for failing to engineer a World Cup run like that of the man with the “Hand of God."

"text": "When Can A Baby Use An Umbrella Stroller Mary Ruddy Umbrella strollers are one of the best strollers to use for parents on the go. They are lightweight, easy to manoeuvre, convenient and fold up incredibly small, like an umbrella, making them the perfect strollers to use when you rely on public transportation. This is why many consumers look for the best umbrella stroller for NYC or other large cities where public transport is the transport of choice. However, umbrella strollers are not safe for newborn and infants, and it is important to know just what age your child should be in order to safely ride in this type of stroller. Recommended Age Most manufacturers of umbrella strollers recommend that these strollers should not be used for any infant under 6 months old. This age is set by manufacturers because it is the average age when infants have sufficient strength to sit up and have some head and neck control. This is important because although most umbrella strollers do have a reclining position, some of the models don’t recline enough to give most infants the support their small spines and necks need to avoid injury. However, parents of individual babies are in the best position to decide when their baby has the physical ability to ride in an umbrella stroller safely. Some infants may have no difficulty when they are as young as 4 months, while others may not be ready to sit up well until they are 7 or even 8 months old. If you are not sure whether your infant is developmentally ready for this type of stroller, then seek your paediatricians opinion."

They develop this crucial skill, which is the foundation for all later movement such as sitting up and walking, in increments during the first six months of life. When it develops Most babies develop neck muscles strong enough to hold their head up by the age of six months. How it develops Newborns Your baby's neck muscles are fairly weak at birth, so she'll rely on you to support her head and neck for at least the first month or so. Perhaps it's nature's way of ensuring you lots of face-to-face interaction. As you cradle her in your arms, enjoy the chance to gaze into her eyes -- it'll help you bond and make her feel loved. One to two months By the end of her first month, she should be able to lift her head briefly and turn it from side to side when lying on her stomach. At around six to eight weeks, if she's especially strong, she'll raise her head while lying on her back. When you carry her on your shoulder, she'll have enough control to hold her head up shakily, but not for long. She'll also be strong enough to hold up her head in a car seat, infant carrier, or babysling, but she's still too wobbly for a stroller or a backpack."

There are traditional 4 wheeled prams, 3 and 4 wheeled ‘off road’ buggies, pushchairs, strollers and combinations of all four. Prams and buggies seem to be morphing together to make a whole new breed….and one buggy really can be all things to all people!So which pram or buggy will suit your needs? Just which pushchair / pram / buggy is right for you depends on lots things including lifestyle, the number of children you have (or are planning to have), budget, and even the size of your car boot. Of course style and taste come into the mix, but you have got to get the practicalities right first. A pram or buggy is one of your major baby purchases, so it is worth doing a little research. If bought properly, a good pram or buggy will last you through several children and will still have a relatively strong resale value when you have finished your baby years. When buying a pram or buggy you should ask yourself:“What am I buying this for?”“What MUST this pram do?”…not everybody will have the same response or priorities. Do you want a pram that your baby can sleep in from birth, or will you only be using it once baby can sit up?"

"text": "Too Young or Too Old For a Jogging Stroller? December 5, 2012 by Lena 6 Comments Minimum Age and Weight for a Jogging Stroller I often hear a question: How old my kid should be to ride in a jogging stroller? Never start rollerblading or running with a jogging stroller unless your baby is at least 6 months old. To be more precise, your baby must be between 6 to 9 months old to start participating in your running and rollerblading sessions. A minimum weight is always indicated around 5 pounds for most of the jogging strollers. However, it doesn’t mean such a tiny child is recommended for riding. Jogging strollers are designed for kids who can already sit – that’s the first and the most important benchmark. I love this saying: Hurry slowly! Running and rollerblading with a newly born in the jogging stroller is not advisable until your child is 6 to 9 months old. Able to sit without support Why not a jogging stroller for 1-6 moths old: Head Support and Thermoregulation Head Support: The head and neck of a newborn is too weak to experience any kind of bumps or rough surfaces."

"title": "http://www.pregmed.org/baby-developmental-milestones/baby-sitting\nWhen do Babies Sit Up",
"text": "When do Babies Sit Up Babies achieve an important milestone in their developmental process when they learn to sit on their own without any support, trying to get a feel of the world around them. They acquire the skill of sitting when they have mastered the art of rolling over in both directions, also being able to hold their head up in an upright position. Only after being able to sit conveniently, an infant will be able to crawl and finally stand on his own feet. A Baby Sitting What age do babies start sitting up Most babies begin learning to sit up when they are four to seven months of age as their motor skills start developing gradually. In the third and fourth months, the head and neck muscles start gathering strength, helping the baby to raise his head and hold it in that position during tummy time [1]. In between five and six months, your baby usually starts to sit up with your help, holding his head in an upright position, keeping the back straight. He may even be able to sit for a second or so without taking any assistance from you, before toppling down after a while [1]. When do babies learn to sit up on their own As their muscles get stronger with every advancing month, they will be able to sit unsupported for a longer time. By the time they are eight months of age, babies attempt sitting up on their own by thrusting pressure on their arms while lying on their stomach as their back muscles get stronger and balancing ability improves [2,3]. However, most infants have to be brought to a sitting posture till the time they are eleven months old [4]. Babies who spend most of their time lying in their cot or crib without much physical activity develop this sitting milestone during their ninth month. How to help your baby learn to sit up Allow sufficient tummy time: Being on the tummy for a longer time is essential for any motor development, be it rolling over, crawling or sitting. Allow your kid to stay on his stomach when he is awake so that his back, neck and head muscles get stronger, helping him to push himself up and come to a sitting position. Make him practice: Bring your baby to a sitting position either by placing him on your lap or letting him incline his back on some pillows (preferably a nursing pillow) and cushions."

"text": "Let’s be honest: A stroller is a big-ticket item, but unlike all those adorable onesies you scored at your baby shower, a good one will actually last more than a few months. So how do you make sure you buy a stroller (or two, but not four or five) that has everything you need for every age? Read on.0-6 Months What you’ll need At this point, your main concern is keeping baby stable, supported and comfortable. Look for a sturdy, structured stroller with a good suspension system that can absorb bounces and prevent jostling. Another must-have feature: a comfy seat that fully reclines, so your newborn can lie flat on his back. What you’ll want With a travel system or a stroller that accommodates an infant car seat, you don’t have to wake baby every time you take her in and out of the car. Some moms opt for an inexpensive stroller frame at this age, which the car seat snaps right into, and then get a pricier full-sized stroller once baby can sit up on her own. What to consider If you’re a city mom, or you just don’t drive much, instead of a travel system, get a stroller with a bassinet attachment. That'll allow you to lay your little one down and go, with no attachments, adaptors or snaps to finagle with–something you’ll appreciate in the early sleep-deprived, new-mom days. The bassinet can also double as a mini crib.6-12 Months What you’ll need Now that baby is sitting upright, your stroller’s seat is more important than ever."

Will the gate agent announce preboarding for families with young children? Can you check a stroller at the gate? Airline policies change frequently, so it's a good idea to call ahead or check your airline's website every time you fly to make sure you know what to expect. Standard practices for airlines based in the United States Most U. S. airlines follow these policies on domestic flights (though it can't hurt to double-check before you buy your ticket): Typically babies must be at least 7 days old to fly. Some airlines allow younger infants with a doctor's written permission. Others extend the minimum age up to 14 days or have additional restrictions. Lap babies (younger than age 2) fly free on domestic flights, usually one per paying adult. ( You may need to present proof of age.) This does save you money, but it's important to note that babies riding in airplanes are safest riding in government-approved car seats. ("

These wheeled wonders come in all shapes, sizes, and fabrics, with every feature imaginable. From prams to joggers, travel systems, lightweights, and more, it's no wonder that shopping for a stroller can be overwhelming, especially for the first-time parent. Before You Buy Because your stroller will likely be used on a daily basis well through the toddler years, it is important to find one that best suits your needs, keeping in mind that these may shift as baby grows. Naturally, safety and comfort should be high on your priority list, but here are a few more things you should consider: Your lifestyle If you rely on public transportation, size, weight, and portability are essential factors--test how easy it is to quickly fold the stroller for catching a bus, or negotiating a flight of stairs. If you walk more often than drive, look for a sturdy stroller with good suspension and easy maneuverability. If you're a frequent driver, try a lightweight stroller that stores compactly in your trunk. For athletic and outdoorsy types, a jogger might be perfect. Space limitations How big is it, folded and unfolded? Will it fit in the trunk or back seat of your car?"

"text": "At What Age Can a Baby Ride in a Jogging Stroller?by TANYA KONERMAN June 13, 2017Making your baby part of your daily workout routine can be fun and can help to strengthen the bond you share. But it’s important first to learn when she will be old enough to have the neck, head and spinal control necessary to prevent injury, as well as how to choose a safe stroller designed specifically for the rigors of jogging with a baby. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Necessary Infant Development According to Baby Center.com, your newborn has little head control because her neck muscles and motor skills are weak and undeveloped. As she grows stronger and works her muscles more, she will eventually be able to sit up on her own. She will also develop the neck and head control necessary for handling faster movement without the risk of damage to her spine or head. The age for these accomplishments will vary. Jogging Stroller Readiness Determining when your baby is developmentally ready to join you for a run is essential for her safety. Jogging strollers do not recline, so your baby will be sitting fully upright during your jog. Therefore, she must have full head control before it is safe for her to join you as you run. While many jogging stroller manufacturers recommend your child should be at least 6 months old, others recommend waiting until she is at least 8 months old to be sure, according to Consumer Search.com."

"text": "Safety Concerns of Rear Facing and Front Facing Car Seats for Newborn Baby, Infant and Toddlers Rear Facing Car Seats for Premature Babies and Newborn Infants If you aren't sure how to install a car seat, don't fake it! Some estimates say that up to 80% of car seats are not installed properly, and that can cause disaster. If you don't feel very confident that you can install your choice of car seat exactly as it should be, find someone who can do the job for you. There are differences between car seats based on the age of the children riding in them. Infant car seats are built so the baby faces the back of the car, which has been determined the safest seating option for small babies. Infant car seats should sit at a 45 degree angle and shouldn't move more than an inch in any direction at installation. To get the angle right, you may need to place a folded towel under the seat. The harness straps should come to or just below the baby's shoulders, and you shouldn't be able to get more than a finger under the straps at the collarbone. The clip that fastens at the chest should be even with the baby's armpits. Infants should stay in rear-facing seats until they weigh at least 20 pounds, can pull themselves up to stand, or reach one year of age."

"text": "When Do Babies Hold Their Head Up? Soon after birth, a newborn baby has lesser control on his head due to weak neck muscles and under-developed motor skills that are responsible for supporting the head. But in just a few months, the baby acquires this ability. The vital skills develop in the newborn gradually and in a step by step fashion that lays the foundation for upcoming movements such as walking and sitting in his first year. It is important to know when babies hold their head up to gauge the growth of little one so that you can monitor the child’s development and take action if necessary. When Do Babies Hold Their Head Up? At the age of 1 month, the babies usually start making the gesture of lifting head (though most attempts are unsuccessful until the baby is 2 month old). By second month, you will start noticing that your babies try to slowly pop up his head during tummy time, initially for few shaky seconds. If babies do not like tummy time, do not stop the practice as this is vital for the development and growth of their upper body and neck muscles. The baby’s head support and stability will improve steadily within next few months but he may still need the support in holding head (especially while feeding, playing and cradling)."

So it's normal for a baby's skull, which is made up of several bones that eventually fuse together, to be a bit oddly shaped during the few days or weeks after birth. But if a baby develops a lasting flat spot, either on one side or the back of the head, it could be flat head syndrome, also called positional plagiocephaly (pu-ZI-shu-nul play-jee-oh-SEF-uh-lee). Flat head syndrome usually happens when a baby sleeps in the same position most of the time or because of problems with the neck muscles.

Simple practices like changing a baby's sleep position, holding your baby, and providing lots of \"\"tummy time\"\" can help.

The idea of a jogging stroller was not very appealing to me because running has always been me time. I thought, “How can I have my alone time if baby is with me? I don’t want to worry about pushing a stroller – I just want to RUN!”Side note: Since I’ve been talking up our horrible front lawn a lot lately, I want to assure you that is not our yard. That yard is beautiful. And green. Thus, not my yard. Anyway, so I thought I didn’t want a running jogging, and then Henry arrived.

There are many different breeds, strains and colours of quail. They are bred for meat as well as for eggs. They make great pets, provide delicious and nutritious miniature speckled eggs and are very curious and flighty in nature. In the wild, common quail live in small groups and scratch for insects and seeds. Quail migrate to central Africa near the southern edge of the Sahara desert for winter and return to England in spring. The most common breeds kept for eggs are: Japanese Quail or Coturnix japonica They are known as the migratory quail. They grow to 20cms in height. This breed is ideal for aviaries and is proven to be less flighty if enough cover is provided for nesting.

Being the smallest quail in the world, they are about the size of a Bumble Bee when they first emerge from their shell, and just about as active. As soon as they hatch and dry off, they are ready to explore their world and they do it with much enthusiasm. They are charming, adorable and delightful. The Incubator: While you can use any type of incubator, the best hatch will occur when using a forced air (fan) rather than a still air (no fan) incubator. Forced air incubators give a much more even heat, and since Chinese Blue Breasted Quail are so small, they just do better under those conditions. Turning the Eggs: You will also get a much better hatch if your incubator is equipped with an automatic egg turner. Turning or rotating of eggs in your incubator is critical. When a hen incubates her own eggs, she turns them approximately every eighteen to thirty minutes. The reason turning is so important is that at the start of incubation the embryo (called a germ at this stage) appears in a small white spot (called the germinal disc) on the upper side of the yolk."

"text": "Northern Bobwhite Quail Northern bobwhite ( Colinus virginianus ), commonly called “Bobwhite Quail”, are native to Louisiana. Adult plumage varies from chestnut to gray with rich browns on the back and white to buff on the breast and belly. Males have a distinctive white mask and throat, whereas females have a buff mask and throat. Both sexes have a prominent black eye stripe. Food In general, bobwhite are opportunistic granivores foraging on a wide variety of weed seeds and cultivated grains. During the breeding season bobwhite consume primarily seeds, fruits, green vegetation and hard mast. Invertebrates are an important source of protein for reproductively active females and are eaten almost exclusively by chicks during the first several weeks of life. Reproduction Quail nest in Louisiana from early May through September with most of the hatching occurring from June to August. Clutch size ranges from 12 to 15 eggs. After 23 days of incubation the chicks hatch and are totally flightless for about two weeks."

Quail hunting is usually done in pairs of men or women with a pair of specially trained dogs. Quail hunting is one of the only hunting sports I know in which you do not have to hide from your prey with camouflage.

Button Quail can sometimes be found in pet stores. I would be very careful about purchasing these Quail from anyone other than a breeder. If you would decide on getting them from a store or even a Button Quail Breeder for that matter, ask for records on the quail your interested in. If they have no records, I would not purchase them. Buying these birds from a pet store could result in Quail that are highly inbred, which can result in disease and early death.

To those of you who do not hunt, pheasants and quail are easily obtainable; our local high-end supermarket has them all the time. They will have even less of a wild flavor than their country cousins, but they are still a fair piece better than your average chicken. And yes, chicken can be subbed in for any pheasant dish.

"text": "Reader Approved How to Get Quails to Lay Eggs Quails sometimes stop laying eggs due to stress, lack of calcium or minimum sunlight. However, there is no need to worry as this problem can easily be taken care of if you give your quails the proper care they need. Steps1 Figure out if you have female or male quails. Like any other bird, only the female lays the eggs. It’s easy to tell a quail's gender and there is more than one way. Observe their behaviour. Male quails tend to be more aggressive than females. Look at their feathers. Most male quails will have brighter feathers around their neck, head and back whilst females will have more plain colours.2 If your quails are new, give them time to settle in. Quails can get stressed from all the new surroundings and from the long move."

"text": "The familiar chuck-chuck-chuck of quail hiding in the weeds and scrub along the edges of a housing development remind us that nature is never far away. With 130 species scattered around the globe, the ground-dwelling small birds live on every continent except Antarctica. While quail will live next to humans if they must, they prefer tall grasses and scrub on hillsides and brush-filled canyons for their nests. The Nest Most quail species, such as the California quail (Callipepla californica), bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) and Montezuma quail (Cyrtonyx montezumae) scratch out hidden hollows in the ground under tall grasses or low-growing brush, against a tree trunk or near rock formations. California quail and Gambel's quail (Callipepla gambelii) will also build a nest in a shrub or tree if a secure platform is available. Lined with grasses, leaves and feathers, the nests are usually 5 to 7 inches in diameter and 1 1/2 to 3 inches deep. Pairing Up From September until April, quail flock together in coveys. In spring, mating rituals begin, and in April, May and June, the birds build nests and lay their eggs. An average clutch is 10 to 16 eggs, although some species may lay up to 28 small, speckled eggs. The eggs hatch in 21 to 23 days."

"text": "\"Featured Articles Bobwhite Quail Production and Management Guide30 May 2002By W. A. Dozier, III and K. Bramwell, Extension Poultry Scientists, Poultry Science Department at the University of Georgia - This report looks at Bobwhite Quail bird management practices, including tips on disease prevention and breeder and hatchery management. Each year in Georgia, approximately five million Bobwhite quail are produced and marketed for use at hunting preserves and plantations. In Georgia, it is required that public use hunting preserves obtain annual permits through the Department of Natural Resources. Approximately 175 hunting preserves are permitted annually through the Department of Natural Resources. In addition to the large number of hunting preserves in Georgia, there are many other plantations in the adjoining southern states. The total number of hunting preserves and plantations in the southern region provides an excellent market for Bobwhite quail producers. With the associated problems of agronomic crops such as droughts and volatile market prices, Bobwhite quail production has received attention as an alternative enterprise for many farming operations. Most successful producers typically raise breeders with the intent to market the resultant chicks at one day of age to growout producers, or they specialize in the growout of day-old chicks until approximately 17 weeks of age to sell as flight-ready birds to game preserve owners. Breeder producers typically sell day-old chicks at $0.25-0.30/bird, whereas flight-ready bird producers market 17 week-old birds at approximately $2.80-3.00/bird. The quality of bird produced and the time of year they are available may greatly influence the price received for flight-ready Bobwhite quail."

It is a small tabletop model with an hourly egg turning mechanism that works well with small finch eggs. There are a number of different turning rings for automatic turning of eggs as large as a goose egg to as small as a waxbill's egg. For turning finch eggs, get the universal turning ring (940-28). It can handle eggs that range from 1/4\"\" to 1-1/4\"\". I recommend the model TX-7 over the TX-6 for a number of reasons. Namely, the highly accurate 10 turn solid state thermostat. Each full turn of the control adjusts the temperature approximately 1.7 degrees F. The TX-6, built on the same \"\"body\"\" as the TX-7 has a less accurate thermostat. This is fine for larger chicken eggs, but not for the smaller finch eggs that are more sensitive to the fluctuations in temperature. They don't have the mass to hold the temperature for a long period that larger eggs do."

Like all quail, they are ground dwellers, with feet unable to perch on sticks or branches. Button Quail Facts Average Adult Size up to 4 inches long, head to end of tail Average Life Span 4+ years with proper care Diet omnivores Bird owners should avoid non-stick cookware and appliances as they can release fumes hazardous to your bird's health. Diet A well-balanced Button Quail diet consists of: High-quality, fresh, game bird diet or equivalent should make up 60-70% of diet, fresh vegetables and fruits; grit should also be offered in a shallow bowl large enough for the bird to sit in. Clean, fresh, filtered, chlorine-free water, changed daily. Do not feed birds avocado, fruit seeds, chocolate, caffeine or alcohol as these can cause serious medical conditions. Avoid sugar and high fat treats. Feeding Things to remember when feeding your Button Quail: Fresh food and water should always be available. Vegetables and fruits not eaten within a few hours should be discarded. Ensure water and food containers are placed one to two inches above the habitat floor to prevent contamination by bedding or feces."

Most states, like Connecticut, do not have laws regarding a minimum age for a child to be left alone. Here’s what our state has to say about it: Connecticut law does not specify at what age a child may be left home alone. When deciding whether or not to leave a child home alone, a parent should consider the child’s age. Many experts believe that children should be at least 12 years of age before they are allowed to stay home alone. Experts also believe that children should be over the age of 15 before caring for a younger sibling. Additionally, parents should consider other factors when deciding if their child is ready to stay at home alone. A child’s maturity should be considered."

Source: TMDB (The Movie Database)This post was updated on 9-24-14 to reflect information received from Pam Orren at Hennepin County on DHS Child Maltreatment Screening Guidelines, which include practice guidelines for leaving children unsupervised. Thanks Pam! New additions to this post are underlined. — Heidi I decided to write about Minnesota policy on leaving children home alone, without adult supervision, based on the numerous articles I’ve read over the summer about lack of supervision and child welfare intervention. What makes this topic tricky is that like nearly every other state in the U. S., Minnesota does not have an explicit law pertaining to the specific age at which children can be left home alone. Illinois sets this age at 14, Maryland at 8, and Oregon at 10. For the most part though, cities, counties, and states tend to look at a variety of factors, including age, when determining whether a specific child can be left home alone, unsupervised. As you read this post, please keep in mind that this post is intended only to provide information, not to advise or provide any kind of guidance.

If there are maggots crawling on the counter then obviously that's a health issue, but what about just plain old dirty, like food mashed into the carpet (not a one time thing, always there) and dust/dirt everywhere?

A co-signer or guarantor is typically a parent or trusted relative or friend who guarantees the lease of the home in case the renter fails to pay his or her rent. If the renter is under the age of 18, a guarantor is typically required, since the potential tenant most likely does not have an established credit history. According to U. S.

Flag What is the legal age to leave a child at home alone in the state of Louisiana? Answer by Rkelley Confidence votes 3.8KLouisiana as almost every other US state, does not have a specific age law for such circumstances. At one time there was a LA code referring to the age of 9-years being the middle ground. The basic premise is that the parents will use good judgment as to the ability of the child to be left unsupervised. The law presumes that if there is a problem with a minor being left home alone such as the child being injured, then \"\"just cause\"\" for neglect or endangerment charges to be filed must be supportable. For example a very young child (IMO,under 12) or any child left in an unsafe environment, no food, water, heat, access to firearms, alcohol, an so forth. However, a very upsetting statistic for Louisiana is it ranks second in child deaths and serious injuries for children under the age of 6-years not being supervised properly. This includes children in home child care, home parental/older sibling care and those (believe it or not) left totally alone or in charge of younger siblings.

Realizing that their mother is not coming back, and that they cannot go home (as their father walked out before the youngest child was born), the children travel together, mostly on foot, trying to reach Bridgeport. There, they hope to find their missing mother at the home of a relative they have never met. The children find themselves on a journey that is emotional as well as literal; during their weeks on the road, their adventures and the people they meet along the way help them to find out more about who they are and what is important to them, as well as to cope with the loss of their mother and to understand society's reaction to her poverty, isolation, mental illness and the fact that she was an unmarried mother of four. Thirteen-year-old Dicey Tillerman, and her brothers James (10) and Sammy (6), and sister Maybeth (9), lived in a wooden house out in the dunes in Provincetown, Massachusetts. The family is poor, their father walked out just before Sammy was born, and only Dicey retains any memory of him."

I will do my best to give you some honest and accurate guidance as I answer your question. I am a licensed attorney, and I will be glad to try and answer your question. I hope that the following information will be helpful to you, but please just write back if you have any follow-up questions or need clarification on anything after reviewing the following information. Arizona has not passed legislation about leaving children at home. However, there are child welfare laws that can be applied if the child is left in a hazardous situation and is not able to look after themselves. There are very few states in the U. S. with legal minimum ages, but many state agencies have published guidelines. Georgia, Illinois, Maryland and Oregon are a few of the states with very specific ages. Typically 8 year olds and over can be left at home for up to several hours (usually after school before a parent gets home from work)."

The creeping idea that anytime our kids are outside without us they are in DANGER, thus it is CRIME to take our eyes off them. The writer of the note below, from Western Maryland, also pens this blog. Here’s what’s happening out by her: Dear Free-Range Kids: Our kids have always been “Free -Range.” Unfortunately, today, someone called the police because of the “unsupervised children” running around the neighborhood. My son is six (seven in September), and we allow him to ride his bike to friend’s houses up the street (we live in a small, three-street neighborhood far from any major roads), rollerblade down the road, play with friends in the little patch of woods across the street from our houses, play in sprinklers with the neighbors, etc. There are constantly kids running around our neighborhood, playing with their friends — kids of all ages. The officer said that kids under ten, by law, are not allowed outside, unsupervised except in their parents’ yard. The officer did not come to our house, but visited the mom of two of my son’s good friends. The people who called reported that all the way back in the winter, a “whole bunch of unsupervised kids were sled riding down the hill” that is across from our townhouse units."

"text": "\"The Kids At What Age Is It Okay for Kids to Stay at Home by Themselves?by Suzanne Robin, RN Dec 11, 2012If your 10-year-old is begging to stay home alone for a few hours after school rather than go to the after-school program, you may be in a quandry over whether or not to let him. Kids are ready to stay alone for a few hours at wildly different ages, depending on their maturity level, their quotient of common sense and, last but not least, the laws in your state, if any, on the legal age for leaving children without an adult present. State Laws Because state laws are more than a guideline—they're a legal requirement that could land you in court if something goes wrong—it's always best to start there when deciding when it's time for a little freedom on the home front. Only a few states have laws mandating when children can be left alone, according to the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Maryland, for example, specifies that children must be at least 8 years old to stay alone but also lists a number of stipulations that parents should consider, such as the duration of time alone, the child's access to help and whether he understands what to do in an emergency. Illinois lists the age as 14, but also qualifies this by saying the amount of time left, whether other kids are present and the circumstances also should be considered. Your Child's Desires Some kids love the idea of a few hours alone in the house, while others are paralyzed with fear at the thought. If your child is on the young side for being left alone—age 10 or 11—don't push the idea if you know they're apprehensive about it. Most authorities believe that the average 12-year-old can handle staying at home alone for a few hours, according to the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services. To assess your child's readiness for this step, according to child psychologist and author Dr. Ellinor Burke, \"\"Give the child several opportunities at being home alone."

Follow 12 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: I'm not sure, but please, it's in your best interest not to leave a kid under the age of 11 at home by themselves. I remember in the late 80's, when I was in first or second grade, I'd walk home from school with kids and be the first one at home until my mom or dad came back from work. Then again that was the 1980s...and my parents would be home like an hour or two after I got home. Anything longer than that, my parents would leave me with a neighbor or my grandmother. Children of elementary age are really too young to know what to do if something happens. Not only are the kids themselves more in danger of starting a fire or something...but they're more likely to be coerced by a stranger. Child predators can get around the \"\"Don't talk to strangers\"\" lingo and convince a child to let them in! You don't want to leave a child that age alone...not only because the child could be kidnapped, but because you could probably go to jail and lose custody. If you can't find a babysitter or relative, you need to stay home."

"text": "Home / Children's Health / Doctor Visits, Vaccines & Medications / Medications for Children How can I teach my child to swallow a pill? Jo Ann Rohyanspediatrician Some children as young as age 3 or 4 can swallow a pill, while some teenagers still can't accomplish the task!When your child is ready to try, have him practice with something small and hard-coated, like Tic Tac breath mints. Here's how: With a mouthful of water, have your child look up at the ceiling. Then put the mint in through the corner of his mouth. While he's looking up, have him swallow the water with a big gulp. The mint — like a real pill — is dense and will go down first, having sunk to the back of his mouth. With capsules (which float), you do just the opposite: Have your child look down at the floor instead of up at the ceiling while you slip the capsule into his mouth. Have him swallow while still looking at the floor. The capsule should float to the back of his mouth and roll down his throat with the water.

What we do know is that for most children who find it hard to swallow pills, the problem persists through the teenage years and even into adulthood. That’s if no one addresses the inability to swallow pills in a serious way. Inability to Swallow Pills: Parenting Fail? That’s a shame, because research has shown that children as young as 6-11 years, can be taught to swallow pills with the right methods and lots of patience. Researchers may know how to teach kids to swallow pills. Parents, on the other hand, may not know of any effective methods to teach pill-swallowing. They may even be embarrassed to discuss the problem with the child’s pediatrician, thinking it reflects poorly on their parenting skills. Parents may struggle with their children for years over their inability to swallow pills."

"text": "\"Patient Rights Treatment Decisions & Safety How to Take Oral Medications (Pills, Liquids and More)Oral medications can be swallowed, chewed or placed under the tongue By Michael Bihari, MDUpdated June 26, 2017Share Pin Email Print Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images The most common way people take medications is orally (by mouth). Depending on what your physician prescribed, your oral medication can be swallowed, chewed or placed under your tongue to dissolve. Medications that you swallow travel from your stomach or intestine into your bloodstream and then are carried to all parts of your body. This process is known as absorption. The speed with which absorption occurs depends on several factors: The type of medication you are taking (e.g., liquid or tablet)Whether you take your medication with food, after food or on an empty stomach The ability of your medication to pass into your bloodstream – some medications have a special coating and dissolve slowly in your stomach How your medication reacts with the acid conditions in your stomach Whether your medication interacts with other medications you are taking at the same time If a quick effect is desired, your physician may prescribe a medication that will dissolve in your mouth and rapidly enter your bloodstream. Types of Oral Medications Tablets and Capsules In general, you should take tablets and capsules with water. For example, taking certain pills, such as Lipitor (Atorvastatin) and Viagra (Sildenafil), with grapefruit juice can cause potentially dangerous side effects. Additionally, milk can block the absorption of some antibiotics, such as Cipro (Ciprofloxacin). Your healthcare provider or pharmacist will tell you whether you should take your medication on an empty stomach or before or after eating. This information is very important because food in your stomach and intestine can interfere with your medication dissolving and passing into your bloodstream."

Esophagitis can cause painful, difficult swallowing and chest pain. Causes of esophagitis include stomach acids backing up into the esophagus, infection, oral medications and allergies. Treatment for esophagitis depends on the underlying cause and the severity of tissue damage. If left untreated, esophagitis can damage the lining of the esophagus and interfere with its normal function, which is to move food and liquid from your mouth to your stomach.

Since then, Majerus, a professor at Washington University, has maintained a deep respect for this little white pill, which has been around since the 1800s. “Aspirin is the most effective drug that we have,” Majerus says. “ If we eliminated all but three drugs, aspirin would be one” of the three drugs we should keep, he says. Much of America agrees with him. Aspirin is in virtually everyone’s medicine cabinet. Doctors still like it because, while there’s a pill for every ailment aspirin addresses, aspirin is the only pill that takes care of so many conditions. Consumers still like it because it’s the least expensive and most versatile drug on the market. “To the consumer, it is almost a miracle drug,” says Nimita Thekkepat, assistant professor of pharmacy at St. Louis College of Pharmacy. “"

It doesn’t matter if it is a vitamin or an aspirin. The pill inevitably lodges in her throat, and she panics. “I choke on anything bigger than a raisin,” said Ms. Quinn, who runs a test preparation service for children. “ If I want to take a ‘grown-up’ vitamin, I have to open up a capsule and pour it on my oatmeal, which kind of ruins the oatmeal. So I take as many gummy vitamins as I can. ”Most children start swallowing pills around age 10, said Dr. Tanya Altmann, a pediatrician in Calabasas, Calif., and a spokeswoman for the American Academy of Pediatrics. And 20 percent to 40 percent are unable to swallow a standard-size pill or capsule, according to a recent study in the journal Pediatrics. “Age doesn’t really impact your ability to swallow a pill,” said the lead author, Dr. Kathleen Bradford, a professor of pediatrics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “"

"text": "Teaching Your Child How to Swallow Pills Swallowing a pill is an important skill that many of us take for granted until we have a child who needs to swallow a pill. Many things — from anxiety to stubbornness — can make it harder for some kids to swallow pills. But don’t worry. Just like any skill, learning to swallow a pill takes practice. If you teach your child at the right time and in the right way, it can be a positive experience that builds your child’s confidence. In no time, it’ll be something that you both take for granted. Why Pills? While a lot of medicines come in chewable or liquid form, some medicine is best taken as a pill or tablet. In fact, certain pills that are meant to be swallowed whole should never be crushed or chewed, as this can be dangerous. And some medicines are meant to work over a few hours instead of all at once."

The function of this organ includes trapping microorganisms, prevent them to go into digestive tract and thus, keeping most of the illnesses at bay. It is for this reason, this tiny organ is not advisable to remove unless severely affected or infected (as in cancer). The inflammation of uvula can happen due to many reasons but the condition is not so commonly seen. The condition occurs on both adults and children. What Causes Swollen Uvula?

For sporadic tension headaches, or mild to moderate daily headaches, we do use limited amounts of acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or caffeine.

The Gestation period of a donkey (how long she is pregnant) is 12 months (give or take some, we have reports of 13 1/2 months). When the foal is born, it will be on it's feet within the first hour. Equines are relatively developed at birth - in that the baby can walk, and run on it's first day. Human babies are very undeveloped at birth - they cannot crawl for several months and are 100% dependent on the parents. An equine foal (horse, donkey, mule or zebra) is usually able to eat adult food (ie grain or grass) at a month old, although they don't get much value from it. By 4 months, they are nearly ready to switch off mother's milk and start eating grain or grass. This is the EARLIEST they should be weaned, unless it is medically necessary for the health of baby and mother BOTH."

"text": "Donkeys are Different: An Overview of Reproductive Variations from Horsesby Debra J. Hagstrom, M. S. Equine Extension Specialist, University of Illinois In the world today it is believed there are approximately 44 million mules and donkeys. These two groups of equids are currently receiving a lot of attention as recreational animals in the United States. They very well may be the fastest growing part of the recreational equine industry. Mules in particular can be found doing everything from trail riding and packing, to dressage, racing, jumping and western pleasure. Donkeys, in many instances, are family pets and of course are a necessary ingredient in the production of mules. Though commonly called a donkey in North America, ass is the correct name for members of Equus asinus. The name donkey comes from the old English word dunkey meaning an animal that is grayish-brown in color. A male donkey is referred to as a jack and a female donkey is called a jenny or jennet. Donkeys fall into three basic size ranges. Mammoth donkeys are those that at maturity stand more than 56 inches at the withers."

They are only 28 to 38 inches tall at the withers (shoulder) and weigh between 250 to 450 pounds.

Throughout the ages, man has speculated about the possibility of copulating with animals, impregnating them, and, as a result, begetting offspring. This subject has fascinated philosophers, theologians, scientists, poets, authors, and ordinary mortals for countless centuries; nevertheless, up to the present moment, there does not yet appear to be even one shred of scientifically-acceptable evidence that human beings and animals are able to mate successfully. In spite of this, sex contact between man and lower animals has occurred at various times and in various places. The ancient Greek historian Herodotus tells about women copulating with goats.

A species is usually defined as a group of animals that can reproduce like examples, and the mule cannot reproduce. Likewise, Tygons and Ligers (crosses between Tigers and Lions) are not in themselves Species. They too are hybrids, exactly like Mules and Hinnies.

Heat is not necessary, but a tight building is important, especially for those who live in cold climates. A small barn or outbuilding will do nicely depending on the part of the country you live in. In cold climates you might want something more substantial. The flooring should be appropriate to drain or absorb urine and be easy to clean or \"\"muck out\"\".

The horse's breed is used to designate the mule's breed; a Belgian mule, for example, has a Belgian mare for its dam. The mare may be any breed, and may be mated to a jack of appropriate size: Miniature Mediterranean (Sicilian) Donkey, Standard Donkey, Mammoth Jack, or Spotted Ass. A mule inherits its size and strength from the horse, and its surefootedness and supreme sense of self-preservation from the donkey. Only rarely does a female, or molly, mule give birth, as most mules are sterile. The five common classes of mule are named according to the ways mules are used: Miniature mules— sometimes called \"\"pony mules\"\" because they are bred from pony mares, stand 40\"\" to 48\"\" at the withers.

[ 1] This area may need to be cleaned, starting at a young age after breeding and the birth season, but particularly in geldings. [ 2] [3] [4] Not only can smegma, a waxy substance that includes dirt and dead skin cells, accumulate, but some geldings (and occasionally, stallions) may also form a \"\"bean,\"\" a hardened ball of smegma inside the sheath or even the urethra that, in extreme cases, can interfere with urine flow. Although a gelding retains the same beneficial microorganisms in the sheath as a stallion, they seem to accumulate smegma and other debris at a higher rate, probably because geldings rarely fully extrude the penis, and thus dirt and smegma build up in the folds of skin. [ 1] Thus, it is recommended that the sheath be cleaned once or twice a year. [ 5] Cleaning the sheath is a specialized task requiring a mild cleaner with grease-cutting properties, generally designed specifically for the process, along with warm water and many clean (usually disposable) towels. Rubber gloves for the handler are recommended, as the job is rather smelly and messy. [ 5]Some horses object to sheath cleaning and require sedation, others will tolerate it if the groom is careful and patient, though light sedation may help the horse \"\"drop\"\" for easier cleaning. [ 1] Ideally, the horse will be desensitized by careful training to tolerate the procedure. To begin, a gentle stream of warm water is run into the sheath from a hose or a large, needleless syringe."

To keep a horse in top shape, you should put it to bed no later than 10 pm. Your horse needs to be boarded in an equestrian center so that you can put it to bed at the end of the day.

Asses were first domesticated around 3000 BC, probably in Egypt or Mesopotamia, [6] [7] and have spread around the world."

Of that 41 million, roughly 96 percent of those donkeys are in undeveloped countries, where they are used as pack animals. Donkeys often provide relatively cheap agricultural work for those living at or below subsistence levels. In China, the country with the most donkeys, donkey meat is considered a delicacy."

S. census information [2], which are both applications of demography. No matter how much data is collected, unknown variables remain, so there are alternate possiblities for the future world population. Species and populations are probably the two most commonly used ecology terms, but they are often difficult concepts to grasp. Throughout this chapter, they will be discussed in detail, expanding on the definitions from previous chapters and explaining why there are no universally acceptable definitions. Factors influencing population growth and ways to measure and predict population growth will also be subjects of specific focus. Populations can be affected by so many factors that it is almost impossible to take every variable into account. Demography is the statistical study of the age structure of a population, and it can be used in research to determine what is causing a decline or increase in population size over time. It is worthwhile to understand species concept and population growth even though they are such broad aspects, because they are fundamental to the science of ecology.

"text": "Horse Ownership FAQs What Is a Foal By Katherine Blocksdorf Updated 03/13/18Share Pin Email Image: John P Kelly/Getty Image What is a baby horse called? It’s called a foal. A foal is a baby horse, donkey, mule, zebra or pony under one year old. If you need to specify what species the foal is of, you can describe a baby zebra as a zebra foal, a baby donkey as a donkey foal or a baby mule as a mule foal. Specific foal genders are colt for a male foal and filly for a female foal. So you might hear someone talk about a filly foal or a colt foal, or they will use the term colt or filly on their own. How the Word Foal Is Used The terms colt and filly may be used until a horse is about two to three years old, after which it will be referred to as a mare, stallion, or gelding. In the racehorse world, the terms colt and filly may be used until the horse is in its fourth year. Occasionally, a very young stallion may be called a stud colt. A mare is said to be ‘in foal’ if she is pregnant."

HISTORY: Miniature donkeys are native to the Mediterranian islands of Sicily and Sardinia. It is difficult to import them now because 1) The quality of donkey left in Sicily and Sardinia is not good, and, 2) It is very difficult to pass the tests given by quarantine stations at the Dept. of Agriculture. However, this writer purchased two donkeys imported into this country from Sicily some time ago so the task is not impossible, just improbable. Miniature Donkeys have not been bred down in size per se. The 25-30 Miniature Donkeys originally imported into the U. S. were between the sizes of 32\"\" and 38\"\" with the majority of them being in the 35\"\"-37\"\" size range. Over the years, breeders have concentrated more on the 32\"\"-33\"\" size and today your most desirable and well-conformed donkeys are from 31\"\" to 35\"\". The word \"\"miniature\"\" usually connotates animals that have been bred-down in size, so keep in mind that 'miniature donkeys' are simply diminutive and not bred down such is the case of many other 'miniature' animals. COLOR: The most prevalent color for Miniature Donkeys is gray-dun which consists of a gray colored body, light colored nose - or dark colored nose -, light colored belly and inside legs, with a dark color dorsal stripe down the back and over the shoulders."

Parents across the UK spend on average £311 a month on childcare, compared to £77 on food and nearly £60 on holidays, according to the latest study from Halifax. The total cost of bringing up a child averages at £600 a month per child or £7,500 a year, it found. London is the most expensive city to raise a child, with childcare costs in the capital standing at £386 – nearly a £100 more expensive than in North England at £289 - bringing the cost of raising a child to secondary school to a higher than average £10,000 a year.+2Spending time.. and money: The cost of raising a child from 0 to 11 years old is on average £85,000 in the UKThe second most expensive region for childcare costs is the South, with costs standing at £330 a month, followed by the East, where parents incur an average of £310 a month for childcare. Parents in the capital also end up paying nearly twice as much to take their children on holiday than their peers in East of England, and they pay out over two and a half times the average on furniture for their child.

But as children reach school age and less money needs to go towards childcare, the annual cost of raising a child falls to a low of around £6,489 for a child aged between five and eight years.

Steve and Darlene Goldstein could be on a crash course to a difficult reckoning. With a six-figure annual income, they shouldn’t have a worry in the world. But Darlene recently retired as a substitute schoolteacher, and Steve, 68, a program manager for a national security technology company in Las Vegas, wants to join her. Only he can’t—not while the couple is still supporting their daughter, Abby, 25, a yoga instructor who lives more than 1,200 miles away. To assist Abby with rent, utilities, and other living expenses, the Goldsteins have forgone home improvements, and Steve just pushed his retirement date out two more years.

And are you cut out for the job? By Uyen Vu | Sep 27, 2013Photo: i Stockphoto Like many moms, Melissa Huff loved being home with her baby — so much so, she began to wonder about ways she could avoid the traditional nine-to-five. When she reluctantly returned to work, as a sales manager for a Calgary rent-to-own business, she put her daughter, Brooklyn, into a home daycare. But after four months back on the job, Huff was looking for a change. She’d long wanted to work with children. If she opened her own home daycare, she reasoned, she’d save on child-care costs and have the freedom to be her own boss. She decided to go for it."

All of these documents are important, but some are more important than others. Also, how long do you have to keep them? This is especially a problem for child care providers who have been in the business for many years. After fifteen years in business you might need an entire room in your house to store all of these records!So, what records should you keep, and what can you get rid of? The general rule is that you don’t have to keep any records, unless you are required to do so, or doing so will protect you. Therefore, you should save records to:* Meet state child care requirements * Protect yourself against a lawsuit * Defend your tax deductions in an IRS audit Meet State Child Care Requirements As with everything else involving family child care, check with your regulator or licensor first."

The good news is that you can check quotes from different insurance companies and minimize the damage to your wallet. Let us guide you through buying car insurance for young drivers to help you save money. Find out about… • Policies • Rates • Discounts • Cars • Insurance for College Students Policies Before your teen starts driving, you should know: All drivers in a household need to be added to a car insurance policy. There is no easy or cheap way to get around car insurance for a new driver. Either you need to add your teen to your policy, or the teen needs his own policy. Sharing a joint policy with a teen is cheaper than paying for separate policies. Additionally, there is no benefit to a teen getting his own policy. This doesn't mean, however, that you should simply add your teen to your current policy and be done with it. Adding a new driver means your company generates your rates all over again, and a different company may give you a better deal."

Even if your state doesn't require it as part of divorce proceedings, it can be a good idea for any co-parenting couple. Many conflicts can potentially be avoided between parents who do not live together if important decisions such as visitation, medical care, daily care, schooling and financial contributions are agreed upon together. Use the Parenting Plan document if: You are getting a divorce and your state requires you to submit a Parenting Plan. You are getting a divorce or separation and want to make a Parenting Plan for your own needs. You need to create a co-parenting agreement with someone who is not a spouse. At the minimum, a Parenting Plan should clearly detail custody and visitation schedules and financial obligations. However, the best parenting plans also address other important topics such as medical rights, religion, vacations, transportation, education and extracurricular activities. Other names for this document: Custody Agreement, Parenting Plan Form, Custody and Visitation Agreement How is child custody decided?

Explain It to me!December 09, 2009 | By Kathy Reinhard Of The Morning Call Q My adult child has a college degree but is having trouble finding a job in the current economy. How long can I keep her on my health insurance? A Until Monday, insurance companies in Pennsylvania were obliged to offer coverage of dependent children on their parents' insurance only until the age of 19. Now they must offer employers plans that cover adult children up to age 30. The law, passed in May, essentially allows parents to put adult children back on their plans, even if the young adult has a job and no longer lives at home. Part of Gov. Ed Rendell's Prescription for Pennsylvania, it was designed to help one of the state's most underinsured groups. It would cover young adults who: Live in Pennsylvania or attend institutions of higher learning in other states. Have no other health insurance or similar government benefits. Are single and have no dependents."

"text": "Author: Yolanda Evans, MD, MPHAugust 15, 2011 | General Health and Safety Comments Tweet Print this Article Health rights of teens are important for every parent to understand. A major task during the teen years is to navigate the balance between autonomy and parental support. Developmentally, teenagers are going through the process of maturing: they shift from concrete to more abstract thinking, they question boundaries, and they start to take responsibility for their own health. This time can be amazingly fun and extremely challenging at the same time. When it comes to health, teens may seek medical care less often, but when they go, they’ll often be accompanied by parents. The question I hear from teens and parents alike is “How old do I need to be to consent for my own health care? Do I need to be 18?” My answer is “It depends. ”Minor consent laws vary by state, but all states and the District of Columbia have laws that allow teens to consent for special circumstances, such as for mental health care or substance use treatment, without the consent of their parents or legal guardian. The ages vary by state, but I’ll outline to laws for Washington State."

It doesn’t cost much for Mr. Wyse, a New York communications professional, to enroll his daughter in his plan, which also insures his wife. But the daughter’s new job is in Maryland, where doctor visits would be reimbursed at lower out-of-network rates under the Wyses’ New York-based plan, meaning her out-of-pocket costs would be higher. While she is healthy, she has had two knee injuries that required surgery. Her employer’s premiums, however, might be higher than her parents’. Many families are crunching the numbers on various such scenarios, now that the Affordable Care Act, or ACA, presents young adults in particular with more health-insurance options than they had before. Pressmaster / Shutterstock.com A mother discussing health-care options with her daughter. Since 2010, the ACA has required insurers to allow dependents to stay on their parents’ plan until age 26, even if they have a job with benefits. In 2014, young adults will also be able to buy insurance on the new state exchanges if they can’t get affordable coverage (costing 9.5% of income or less) through an employer. ( This assumes, of course, that the young adult complies with the ACA; another option is to skip insurance and pay the penalty. )“"

"text": "\"Print Overview Pap test A Pap smear, also called a Pap test, is a procedure to test for cervical cancer in women. A Pap smear involves collecting cells from your cervix — the lower, narrow end of your uterus that's at the top of your vagina. Detecting cervical cancer early with a Pap smear gives you a greater chance at a cure. A Pap smear can also detect changes in your cervical cells that suggest cancer may develop in the future. Detecting these abnormal cells early with a Pap smear is your first step in halting the possible development of cervical cancer. Why it's done A Pap smear is used to screen for cervical cancer. The Pap smear is usually done in conjunction with a pelvic exam. In women older than age 30, the Pap test may be combined with a test for human papillomavirus (HPV) — a common sexually transmitted infection that can cause cervical cancer in some women. Who should have a Pap smear? You and your doctor can decide when it's time for you to begin Pap testing and how often you should have the test."

Abnormal findings are often followed up by more sensitive diagnostic procedures, and, if warranted, interventions that aim to prevent progression to cervical cancer. The test was invented by, and named for, the prominent Greek doctor Georgios Papanikolaou. A Pap smear is performed by opening the vaginal canal with a speculum, then collecting cells at the outer opening of the cervix at the transformation zone (where the outer squamous cervical cells meet the inner glandular endocervical cells). The collected cells are examined under a microscope to look for abnormalities. The test aims to detect potentially pre-cancerous changes (called cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) or cervical dysplasia; the squamous intraepithelial lesion system (SIL) is also used to describe abnormalities), which are caused by human papillomavirus, a sexually transmitted DNA virus. The test remains an effective, widely used method for early detection of pre-cancer and cervical cancer. While the test may also detect infections and abnormalities in the endocervix and endometrium, it is not designed to do so. In the United States, Pap smear screening is recommended starting around 21 years of age until the age of 65. However, other countries do not recommend pap testing in non-sexually active females. ["

"text": "Abnormal Pap Smears And HPVAbnormal Pap Smears are typically caused by strains of the Human Papilloma Virus, HPV. An abnormal pap smear result does not mean you have cervical cancer. High risk strains can cause more serious cellular changes. Typically, both high and low risk strains of HPV go away within 24 months. It's recommended that you get your first pap smear at age 21. WHAT CAUSES AN ABNORMAL PAP SMEAR RESULT? HPV, Human Papiloma Virus, causes abnormal Pap smear results because HPV is a virus which infects skin cells. When subclinical HPV infects the skin cells in the cervix (skin cells on the cervix are called squamous cells), it causes the cells to change and become abnormal. When HPV causes abnormal cell changes on the cervix this is called cervical dysplasia. It is important to note that there are other reasons besides HPV for abnormal Pap smear results such as infection, although the most common reason for abnormal Pap smear results is HPV."

While healthy women used to undergo a Pap smear once a year, medical societies (for example, the American Cancer Society) now have spaced out the timing to every three years. There are also set guidelines in place for when and at what age a woman should undergo HPV testing. The HPV test identifies women who are infected with high-risk strains of HPV that could lead to cervical cancer if left unmonitored or untreated. With that, here is a summary of the recommendations from two medical societies: the American Cancer Society (ACS) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). Cervical Cancer Screening Guidelines for Healthy Women A woman should start screening for cervical cancer, which means undergoing her first Pap smear, at the age of 21, regardless of whether or not she is sexually active. Then, between the ages of 21 and 30, a woman should undergo a Pap smear every three years. In other words, if your first pap smear is at age 21, your next would be at age 24, then at age 27, and then at age 30."

"text": "Angela T. Valle, MD on behalf of UCLA Health OBGYN (Obstetrics & Gynecology)After age 65, doctors generally recommend that you can stop having Pap smears if all of the following criteria are met: Your last two Pap smears were normal. One of these last Pap smears was in the last five years. You have no history of precancerous changes. Obviously, these are fairly general guidelines, and you need to have a discussion with your health care provider. A woman with a history of cervical cancer or with cervical precancer is going to have a different screening regimen than a woman with a history of normal Pap smears. Heidi Fantasia on behalf of Honor Society of Nursing (STTI)Nursing According to the guidelines set forth by the American Cancer Society (ACS), women who are over the age of 65 and have had regular Pap smear screenings with normal results do not need to be screened for cervical cancer. Women who have had a hysterectomy (uterus and cervix removed) and have no history of cervical cancer or pre-cancer do not need to be screened with pap smears. Women who have a history of abnormal pap screenings or other gynecologic concerns should speak with their health care provider about the best options for them. Patricia Geraghty, NPWomen's Health A woman over 30 years old, who has had normal pap smears and negative HPV tests, should continue to have pap smears every 5 years. She may stop having pap smears at age 65."

"text": "How Long Does It Take to Get Pap Smear Results How And Why To Have A Pap Smear It usually takes around two weeks for a doctor to get the results of a Pap smear back from the lab. It isn’t odd for the test results to take a week or two longer, but I would call after two weeks to check on the progress. When you are talking about cancer, it is important to learn as soon as possible. This is especially important with Pap smears, because a positive test results in another round of tests. Who Is at Risk? Cervical cancer in young women is related to sex practices and a few other activities. Therefore, doctors suggest that young women who are sexually active should have a pap smear every year. Women should have a pap smear by the age of 18, and sooner if they have had had sexual relations. These tests should take place every year once sexual activities begin. After three such negative tests are taken, women can slack off and have a Pap smear every three years."

"text": "Overview A Pap smear, also called a Pap test, is a screening procedure for cervical cancer. It tests for the presence of precancerous or cancerous cells on the cervix. The cervix is the opening of the uterus. During the routine procedure, cells from your cervix are gently scraped away and then examined for abnormal growth. The procedure is done at your doctor’s office. It may be mildly uncomfortable, but doesn’t usually cause any long-term pain. Keep reading to learn more about who needs a Pap smear, what to expect during the procedure, how frequently you should have a Pap smear test, and more. Pap smear by age Who needs a Pap smear?

"text": "Pap smears are like routine car service. You’re not exactly sure what they are checking for, but you know you should do it. Even well-informed women who know that a Pap test is primarily a screen for cervical cancer are still unsure as to whether it also checks for sexually transmitted infection, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer and general “gynecologic wellness.” So, what exactly is a Pap test? In 1928, after spending months observing his own wife’s cervical cells under a microscope, Dr. George Papanicolaou invented the Pap smear as a method to detect cervical cancer. His discovery has stood the test of time. And Dr. Papianicolaou can be credited with the fact that cervical cancer is now a rare cause of death in the US in spite of the fact that it remains the leading cause of death in countries where Pap smears are not routinely done. ( Though it seems Mary Papanicolaou should get at least some of the credit after submitting to countless Pap smears to support her husband’s research! ) Most women are familiar with the basic process: a speculum is inserted into the vagina in order to sample cells from the surface and canal of the cervix. The cells are then sent to a lab where they are checked for abnormal cell growth, also known as dysplasia, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or CIN."

Cervical cancer can be diagnosed by having regular Papanicolaou tests, or Pap smears. A Pap smear is essentially a microscopic examination of cells taken from the cervix. It is a painless, noninvasive procedure in which doctors use to screen for pre-cancerous changes of the cervix (neck of the womb). This procedure involves Sampling cells from the cervix and the vagina Preparing the cell sample for evaluation under a microscope Examination of the cell sample for infections and abnormal cells that may become cancerous Although this screening test is used to detect cervical cancer or cervical abnormalities that may become cancer in women who do not have any symptoms, the pap smear cannot prove that a woman does not have cervical cancer. However, it can detect 95 percent of all cervical cancers and precancerous abnormalities. Why are regular Pap Smears so important? Having regular Pap smears is the most important thing a woman can do to protect herself from developing cervical cancer. Pap smear is important because It can detect early pre-cancerous cervical changes before they become cancerous."

A: Quick Answer In most states, 7-year-old children are permitted to sit in the front seat of a car provided they are in a child or booster seat; however, in California, Georgia, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Wyoming and Washington, a 7-year-old is only allowed to sit in the front seat if the back seat is unavailable or, in Washington's case, impractical. Despite the varying state regulations, it is recommended by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that all children aged 12 or less are seated in the back seat of a car, which is a recommendation that is law in Puerto Rico.

"text": "\"At What Age Can Children Sit in the Front Seat of a Car? By: Elizabeth Grace - Updated: 28 Mar 2018 | *Discuss Tweet We get lots of questions about child car seats, children in the front seats of cars, what age a child can stop using a car seat, use a booster seat instead etc. The main things to remember are: Child under 3 - If there is no room for a 3rd child seat in the back seat (because of children/child seats already in the back) a 3rd child under the age of 3 MUST NOT travel unless they are in the front WITH the correct child seat Child over 3 - If there is no room for the third child seat in the rear, then a child over 3 can sit in the back using an adult belt Child over 3 and up to 135cm - If there is no room for a third child over the age of 3 in the rear then they can use the front seat WITH the correct child seat Children over 3 years of age and up to 135cm (or 12 years of age) - MUST use the correct child seat (usually the type of car seat needed varies according to a child's weight)Where a child over 3 and up to 12 (or 135cm) is using an appropriate seat, this should be used in the rear where possible My son, who is 7 years old and 140cm tall, was picked up from school today by a friend but she was stopped by a traffic warden and advised that he is not allowed in the front seat unless he is over 16 and that he does require a booster seat. From reading the info on this site I understand that as long as he exceeds 135cm, he does not need a booster seat, and I cannot see anything documented that states he cannot sit in the front seat of a car. Can you help? While the laws regarding the transport of children are specific, they can be a bit confusing. Although you didn’t specifically say that your son was wearing a seat belt when your friend was stopped by the traffic warden, I’m assuming that he was. According to current law in the UK, your friend was not acting unlawfully in transporting your son, so the traffic warden was out of line to suggest that she was. If he was unbelted, however, then he would not have been allowed to ride in the front seat and the warden was partially correct. With regards to car seat laws in the UK, here are the specifics that apply to your son, at age 7 and 140cm."

The budget airline said there was nothing they could do to help Chris and Kim Parr after splitting-up their booking so their daughter Lily was sat by herself for the Faro to Liverpool flight - because they hadn't forked out extra to reserve specific seats.

Chris only realised toddler Lily was placed in a seat elsewhere on the plane four days before their flight home, when he printed off his family's boarding passes in the Portuguese resort of Vilamoura. Despite pleading with Ryanair staff on Twitter, the 33-year-old was refused the chance to have any of his seats reassigned - unless he stumped up a fee.

Now that Jasper is 17 months old, I feel like I can confess my deepest, darkest parenting secret: we turned Jasper around to face forward in his car seat at 6 months. Before you jump all over me, understand that we had incredibly good reasons for doing so. And yes, I watched the You Tube videos about car accidents, and read all about the risks we were taking by doing this. Jasper was born in Portland (Oregon) and spent the first two months of his life traveling by bus. In fact, we didn't even buy a car seat, since we didn't plan on buying a car, and our NICU actually let us walk out with him securely wrapped up in a sling for the bus ride home. In hind sight, that's kind of amazing, because from what I understand, it's not exactly legal for them to do so. Also, as a side note, I recommend buying a car seat even if you don't drive — we ended up at the E. R. around Jasper's second month birthday and the cab driver almost didn't take us because we didn't have one. Anyway, when we moved to Alabama, we immediately had to get a car because it's more or less impossible to get around efficiently by bus."

Dupart Bronze plaque on the side of the Plessy tomb in New Orleans, Louisiana Homer Adolph Plessy (March 17, 1862 – March 1, 1925) was the American Louisiana Creole of Color plaintiff in the United States Supreme Court decision in Plessy v. Ferguson. Arrested, tried and convicted in New Orleans of a violation of one of Louisiana 's racial segregation laws, he appealed through Louisiana state courts to the U. S. Supreme Court and lost. The resulting \"\"separate-but-equal\"\" decision against him had wide consequences for civil rights in the United States. The decision legalized state-mandated segregation anywhere in the United States so long as the facilities provided for both blacks and whites were putatively \"\"equal\"\". The son of French-speaking Creoles (see octoroon ), Homer Plessy was born on St. Patrick's Day in 1862, at a time when federal troops under General Benjamin Franklin Butler were occupying Louisiana as a result of the American Civil War and Reconstruction, and had liberated African Americans in New Orleans who had been in bondage. Blacks could then marry whomever they chose, sit in any streetcar seat and, briefly, attend integrated schools. [ 1]As an adult, Plessy experienced the reversal of the gains achieved under the federal occupation, following the withdrawal of federal troops in 1877 on the orders of U. S. President Rutherford B. Hayes. [ 2]Due to his \"\"fair\"\" appearance, Plessy could have ridden in a railroad car restricted to people classified as white. However, under the racist policies then in force, he was classified as \"\"1/8 black\"\" or, according to the language of the time, an octoroon."

The medallion number, which is located on the hood, license plate and top of the taxicab as well as on the partition and your receipt, is the four-letter/number combination unique to that cab. It is comprised of a number, followed by a letter, followed by two numbers. If you lost property in a cab or wish to complain about or compliment a driver, the TLC can identify the driver/taxicab from the medallion number. Without this information or the name of the driver and the license number, it is difficult to identify the taxicab without the driver first contacting the TLC or the passenger. It is a good idea to always take a receipt when exiting the taxicab. [ Back to Top]• What is the light located on the back of taxicabs called and what is it used for? This light is called a trouble light and is located on the back of the Taxi, just to the left of the trunk lock. It is used to send out a silent distress call in the event of a crime."

More information about NYS's law on child passenger safety can be found on the Governor's Traffic Safety Committee website. What type of restraint should my child use when riding in the car? Have your child use lap and shoulder belts rather than lap only belts. In a crash, the upper body of a child using only a lap belt may be thrown forward until he or she is stopped by something in the car, such as the dashboard, front seats, consoles, door frames, even the floor of the vehicle or the child's knees. This can cause serious injuries to the head, neck or spine. If the lap only belt is crossing over the child's stomach, it should not be used. Serious injuries can occur to vital organs and the spine if a crash occurs."

"text": "PUBLIC SPECTACLES AND ROMAN SOCIAL RELATIONSJonathan Edmondson. Dpt. of History, York University, Toronto, Canada In A. D. 58 two Frisian leaders, Verritus and Malorix, traveled from the far-distant shores of the North Sea to the city of Rome to petition the emperor Nero. They tried, unsuccessfully it transpired, to persuade him to reverse an order issued by the Roman governor of Lower Germany that they should abandon the lands their people had occupied in Roman territory on the left bank of the Rhine. While they were waiting for their audience with the emperor, they went on a sight-seeing tour of the city's monuments. They were particularly attracted by the Theatre of Pompey and decided to spend some time there, since a public spectacle was taking place. The historian Tacitus reports at some length (Ann. 13.54) how intrigued they were by the seating arrangement of the crowd (the consessus caveae) and by the distinctions of rank ( discrimina ordinum) that it so clearly revealed. To pass the time (for in their ignorance they took no delight in the shows), they asked a series of questions about the seating arrangements of the audience ( consessus caveae) and the distinctions between the social orders ( discrimina ordinum ): who were the equestrians and where were the senators sitting? They then noticed some men wearing foreign clothes sitting in the senators seats."

"text": "Q: I have a debate with some of my friends with kids. We have elementary school kids to haul around at times, and sometimes end up with four kids, all under age 13. We want to know if it is legal to put the biggest or oldest in the front seat as long as he or she is over age 8 and has outgrown the car seat. Can you help shed some light on this? We’d rather not have to buy a minivan just to haul around the fourth neighbor kid to the soccer game. A: The answer comes from State Patrol Trooper Cliff Pratt: The law on this is referenced in RCW 46.61.687 subsection 1c: (c) The driver of a vehicle transporting a child who is under thirteen years old shall transport the child in the back seat positions in the vehicle where it is practical to do so. As written by the Washington State Legislature, you can seat children over 8 years old secured in a properly adjusted safety belt in the front seat if there is no other practical place for them to sit. If a child must ride in the front, move the seat as far back as possible, to be away from the air bag and take extra care to make sure the child is buckled up properly. The Washington State Patrol recommends that all children 13 and under sit in the back seat when practical and reminds drivers that all children under 40 pounds are required to use a child safety seat. Those over 40 pounds should use a booster seat until they can wear a safety belt comfortably."

"text": "\"Mom provides security and nutrition for her little ones. Puppies ideally need to stay with their mothers until they reach 12 weeks old. Separating your puppy from his mom before he's 6 weeks old not only may impact his health, but also his behavior later in life. In some areas, separating such a young pup is illegal. Nourishment A newborn puppy must feed from his mother to get the nutrition he needs from her milk. The little one doesn't begin the weaning process until he reaches between 3 and 4 weeks old. During this process, your pup begins to eat solid foods, while still nursing from his mother, although less frequently than he did as a newborn. Overall, the weaning process lasts around four weeks, meaning that your pooch won't be eating only solid foods until he reaches between 7 and 8 weeks old. Separating him from his mom before this time means that he won't get the proper nutrition he needs to thrive. Health Taking away a puppy from his mother before he's 6 weeks old could be detrimental to his health."

"text": "Taking a puppy away from its mother in the transitional stage (2-4 weeks) can create a number of problems for later life. Any time before 8 weeks even, can cause problems – so that a puppy is pre-disposed to become fearful of other dogs. Ideally the whole litter should be kept together until at least 8 weeks. Puppies removed from their mothers even at 6 weeks and certainly less, exhibit appetite and weight loss, increased distress, higher mortality rates and higher susceptibility to disease. Also, bite inhibition needs to be learnt from the siblings and the mother of the puppy and this can not happen if it is removed from the nest too early. Dogs will not learn that they can not play too rough when removed from mum and their siblings too soon and this is a serious issue that can arise from leaving the family group early. Puppies can also become too clingy to their new humans and have serious issues of separation anxiety when removed from their mothers during the transitional period. Overall it is the fearfulness created by early separation that can create problems such as not eating and not sleeping properly. One write up I found suggested that toy pups should actually stay with their mothers until 14-16 weeks of age because they mature slowly and will learn better skills staying as a family until this age. Having said this, we must also consider how taking a puppy away right in the middle of its “sensitive period for socialisation” can also cause issues and this is why it is essential that breeders start to understand the important role they have in bringing up the puppies."

Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Toys: Firstly, know your dog will be a heavy chewer so you need to plan for that. Buy toys made of natural rubber, like kongs. The kong classic is a must because you can fill it with kibble, peanut butter, yogourt, moisten, and then freeze it. It'll keep your dog occupied and help later with teething."

The process takes place only in mammals, as only mammals produce milk. The infant is considered to be fully weaned once it is no longer fed any breast milk (or bottled substitute).

"text": "Stages Of Puppy Development By dogtime (Picture Credit: Getty Images)Just as the saying “a chip off the old block” often holds true for humans, it can apply to dogs as well. Puppies that are well-socialized are more likely to come from dogs that are well-socialized. A basic part of a pup’s socialization is based on their mother’s attitude–relaxed or skittish–toward people. The way you interact with your new puppy can play a big role, too. Playing, petting, and talking with your pup can help him or her develop the “people skills” needed to be a good member of the family and the neighborhood. While weaning for puppies can take place at six to seven weeks, they are still learning important skills from their littermates as their mother gradually leaves them for longer periods of time. Puppies that stay with their litter for at least three months are more likely to develop good social skills as they act as role models for each other. When puppies are separated from their littermates too early, they often fail to develop key social skills, such as sending and receiving signals, the hierarchy process (who is in charge), how far to go in play-wrestling, what mouthing pressure is acceptable (inhibited bite), and so forth. Play is important for puppies. It increases their dexterity, social interaction, and helps them to learn their boundaries."

Comstock/Comstock/Getty Images I f you're planning on selling the puppies, the answer is clear: most states prohibit the sale of puppies less than eight weeks old, according to the Animal Legal & Historical Center at the Michigan State University. If you're thinking of giving the pups away to loving homes, it then becomes a question of what's best for the little furry ones and when they're ready to leave the nest. Best Time For Separation Ideally, puppies should stay with mom until they're at least two months old. This gives the pups enough time to develop physically and emotionally. According to a 2011 study published in \"\"The Veterinary Record\"\" journal, puppies who stay with mom for at least 60 days have a much better track record of behavior -- less fearfulness, less food and toy possessiveness, and less excessive barking -- once they reach adulthood than puppies taken away from mom when they are 30 or 40 days old. Puppy's Physical Development Puppies can start to eat by themselves by the time they are four weeks old, according to the Animal Services Department of the City of Austin. At this age, they would be able to eat only canned dog food, not dry kibble, and preferably mixed with water to make it softer, as many young puppies will lick, rather than try to chew. Unless you're ready to bottle-feed the puppies every few hours, just as you would any non-furry baby, puppies younger than four weeks always should stay with mom. Pups should be able to start eating dry food by the age of six or seven weeks."

"text": "Puppy Vaccinations - How, When And Why Share Tweet +1 Pin it Vaccines are biological agents administered to a healthy animal in order to give that animal immunity against a specific disease or condition. Vaccinations generally contain minute doses of de-activated microorganisms that in their live state, could potentially cause illness or disease. Introducing a minute amount of the de-activated agent of a vaccinatable disease causes the body to recognise it as an invasive agent without being exposed to the risk of the live form of the infection or organism. This triggers the immune system of the dog to fight off the agent, and so, build up antibodies against it that will remain in place to fight off the live form of the micro-organism in future, should the dog becomes exposed to it. Not every potentially dangerous condition or illness can be vaccinated against, and even among those that can, what conditions are vaccinated against as standard vary from country to country, depending on the prevalence of the condition within the canine population as a whole. In the UK, each condition that we commonly vaccinate dogs against requires a different vaccination agent, although these are usually combined and administered together in one or two treatments, to avoid the need for multiple vet visits and injections. Why do puppies need vaccinations? Vaccinations are the most important way to safeguard the long-term health and wellness of dogs and puppies within the UK, and when the vast majority of dogs within a given area or country are vaccinated, this reduces the risk factors for all of the dogs in the area, even those that are not vaccinated. Vaccinating dogs and puppies is therefore very important, not just for the ongoing health and wellbeing of each individual dog, but for the overall health and condition of the dog population within the UK. While adult dogs can be vaccinated at any age against the main transmissible conditions that they may come into contact with, vaccination is especially important for puppies and young dogs."

Hemera Technologies/Able Stock.com/Getty Images E ver wondered why mamma dog seems to enjoy nursing for the first weeks, but then as the puppies grow, she starts resenting it and loses her patience? Most likely those sharp puppy teeth are playing a role. Weaning those shark-mouthed pups gives momma relief and puts those teeth to work. Going Slow and Steady Weaning is the term used to depict the process of introducing pups to food while withdrawing their supply of milk. Slow and steady wins the race when it comes to this process. Mother dogs are not just milk factories; there is much more into their parenthood role, and rushing through the process is not good. While the puppies may at a certain point not nurse much anymore, they still need guidance from their mother and littermates on how to inhibit their bite and develop good canine social skills. Weaning gradually is also preferable because it's best to dry up momma dog's milk supply at a slow pace. Exploring New Food Options Generally, the weaning process is started when the puppies are between 3 and 4 weeks of age, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals."

Also known as the \"\"Snap Dog\"\", whippets are capable of running very fast with records of them reaching 56 km/h miles when in full flight which in short, means they are superb racing dogs. They are gentle characters by nature and are known to be one of the cleanest dogs around, but with this comes the \"\"hound\"\" in them which in short means that a Whippet would feel the need to chase anything that moves. They thrive on human company and are highly adaptable being just at home in a country house or large castle as they would be living in a smaller house providing there is a very secure back garden for them to safely let off steam as often as possible. They are one of the most popular sporting-type dogs on the planet for these very reasons with Whippets being high on the list of favourite family pets and companions in the UK."

Although if you are breeding them intentionally you should wait until the female is at least one year of age. Rabbits can breed as young as 12 weeks however this is really not good for them. If you absolutely have to breed your rabbit it is best to wait until they have reached at least 1 year old first for females. Males become sexually mature much sooner and are able to breed at 12 weeks with no problems. Waiting to breed your does until they are a year old means you are risking them becoming too fat to conceive, storing fat around the fallopian tubes. Breeding your bucks at 12 weeks will stunt their growth."

The virus probably originated from a less virulent form present in rabbit populations for many years. It was first reported in China in 1984 and soon after in other countries in Asia and Europe and in Mexico. These reports alerted scientists to a potentially new biological control for wild rabbits in Australia and New Zealand. The virus was taken into quarantine at the CSIRO Australian Animal Health Laboratory in Geelong for comprehensive testing over three years from June 1991. During fields trials in 1995 it escaped from Wardang Island, South Australia. The virus swept across the Flinders Ranges through the arid zone and killed large numbers of rabbits."

"text": "Iberian Lynx - Ecology & Habitat Do not disturb The Iberian lynx is found in Mediterranean woodland and maquis thicket, and favours a combination of dense scrub for shelter and open pasture for hunting rabbits. In addition, this species also requires sufficient water supplies, and low levels of human disturbance. The species generally lives between an altitude of 400 m and 1,300 m. Social Structure Except for the mating period, Iberian lynx are mostly solitary animals. Rearing the young is the exclusive task of females. Life Cycle Young lynx wean anywhere between 8 and 23 months of age; Young males disperse up to 30 km and females may either inherit a territory from their mothers, or live in a neighbouring area. Provided that a suitable area has been found, a lynx will establish and remain in its territory. Although the species can live up to 13 years in the wild, they usually die before that age, especially when there are significant impacts from humans in the area. Breeding Female lynxes generally give birth between March and April, although when females do not find a mate or do not become pregnant, they can enter oestrus again and give birth at any time of the year. It is thought that females are able to reproduce in their second year. The average litter size is three, with rarely more than two young surviving weaning."

"text": "Full Answer Wild rabbits see threats from more species than urban rabbits, including several species of owls and larger birds. One of their main avian predators is the Great Horned Owl. Great Horned Owls, like rabbits, classify as nocturnal. They feed and hunt during the nighttime, making swift and silent attacks on rabbits. Rabbits and hares, larger close cousins of rabbits that live in the Western United States, comprise nearly 75 percent of the owls' diet. While wild rabbits fear raptors and large mammals, urban rabbits face threats from household pets and even humans. Sometimes people accidentally disturb and damage rabbit nests performing routine activities like mowing the lawn. As with other animals, disease and illness pose threats to some rabbit populations; these animals are susceptible to tularemia, a disease that transmits to humans. Rabbits do not often survive beyond 3 years of age. To offset the losses due to predation, rabbits have very high reproductive rates."

Rabbits have many predators, including: Cats - e.g. pet cats, lions, lynx, bobcats, mountain lions, tigers Dogs - e.g. pet dogs, wolves, foxes, coyotes Large birds, birds of prey - e.g. hawks, owls, eagles, falcons, kestrels Weasels - e.g. stoats, mink, ferrets, wolverines, badgers Bears Racoons Snakes Humansand probably any carnivore or wild animal that's hungry and can fit the rabbit in its mouth If you have a pet rabbit, especially if you live near a park or lots of trees, or if there are foxes or racoons around your house, it's widely recommended that you keep it inside or have a secured cage or secure wooden or sturdy pastil cage outside that it can sleep in at night so that those predators don't get to them. However, rabbits can also die from shock or heart attack just because a predator is stalking around outside the hutch - to really protect your rabbit, you should let the rabbit escape and hide, like into a private box in the hutch. Keep a close eye on your rabbit while it is out. Almost everything is a rabbit's predator.

The New Rabbit Disease RHD2The recent RHD2 virus has sent panic up and down the country and with a vaccine in very scarce supply and only available at limited vets, it is unfortunate for me to report that many rabbits are dying at an alarming rate. It is at times like these when all rabbit owners must do their due diligence and step up hygiene protocols and environmental routines. Perhaps this is nature's message. We cannot continue to let our rabbits endure the squalor, appalling conditions and treatments many have had to suffer for so many years.

"text": "\"Why Spay or Neuter my rabbit? Some Scary Numbers...by Dana Krempels, Ph. D. If you are contemplating getting a bunny, it's imperative to spay or neuter your companion for his or her health and longevity. But aside from the individual rabbit's wellbeing, another factor to consider is just how quickly these prey animals can reproduce, if left to their own devices. More than one rescuer in the U. S. has been faced with the daunting task of trying to find homes for a backyard breeding operation that has gotten horribly out of control. Most of us are familiar with the estimate that one cat and her offspring have the potential to bear more than 40,000 cats in seven years. But this impressive number pales in comparison to what a rabbit can produce! Here are those numbers, for sharing and scaring. A single female rabbit can have 1-14 babies per litter, but let's be conservative and say that the average litter size is six. We'll also make the assumption (remember, this is all hypothetical) that only half of those are females, and we will calculate the potential fecundity of our bunny population only from these hypothetical three females per litter, since females are the limiting factor in a population when it comes to making babies."

Depending on fern type, they can reproduce by spores, rhizomes, offsets or stems. Spores The recognizable plants we call ferns are only one step in a bi-generational life cycle. As flowerless plants, ferns do not bear seeds. Instead, they produce spores typically on the backs of their leaves, which are called fronds.

Flag Can two people who have Down syndrome have a baby? Answer by Bokkos Confidence votes 54Yes, however there are risks involved. First of all, most males with Down's Syndrome tend to be infertile, or have a sperm-count so low they cannot effectively reproduce. If they do manage to reproduce, there are many issues that can arise due to the production of gametes (sex cells) during meiosis. For example in males, they will produce 2 normal sperm and 2 sperm with the ability to form trisomy-21 (the cause of Down's Syndrome). However, two normal gametes must meet in order for a healthy child to be produced, and it only takes one abnormal gamete to create an embryo with trisomy-21 - Down's Syndrome. Furthermore, if two abnormal gametes fuse, the result is an embryo with 48 chromosomes, which causes spontaneous abortion. Individuals with Down's Syndrome are usually counselled to utilize contraceptive methods, or are simply not taught how to procreate. However, if two individuals with Down's Syndrome wish to have a child, special genetic and life counselling is necessary in order to reduce costs and increase quality of life."

"text": "\"Herman Mays, Evolutionary biologist, museum curator, zoologist and professor teaching evolution, genetics and general bi... Answered Jun 15, 2011Originally Answered: Is evolution by natural selection a random process? Evolution by natural selection is not a random process. Selection is a function of particular environments. Individuals with certain characteristics in a particular environment will contribute more offspring to the next generation relative to other individuals with an alternative set of characteristics. The greater relative contribution of some individuals over others can be due to a survival advantage, an advantage in finding and securing mates or fertility, or all of the above, either way it doesn't matter, all that matters in terms of selection is that some individuals are contributing more to the next generation relative to others. Because there are certain characteristics that outperform other characteristics in the context of a particular environment then the process of selection is not random rather it is contingent on the environment. The differential representation of the offspring of some individuals relative to others is evolutionary fitness. It is important to note that fitness is always defined in relative terms, thus avoiding the circular argument of \"\"survival of the fittest\"\" (a phrase first used not by Darwin but by Herbert Spencer and only appearing in later editions of Darwin's Origin of Species ). The relative nature of natural selection is important to understand. Selection does not produce best-of-all-worlds solutions."

These extra hours are for shift changes, processing of illegal aliens, and other tasks that cannot be scheduled. You can also expect to work in various times of the day or night and will be required, depending on your schedule to work weekends or holidays. The work hours of a Border Patrol Agent (BPA) is no 9 – 5! ! Of course, this isn’t unpaid work!All border patrol agents receive an additional 25 percent over and above their base salaries. So where can you expect to be assigned? Most of the BPAs work in duty stations found along the U. S. Southwest border with Mexico in the states of California, Arizona, New Mexico, or Texas. You may tell your superiors that you want to be stationed in a particular border region location but placements are usually made on where agents are actually needed. So get ready to make new neighbors!Duty stations are usually found in small communities that are seemingly isolated from the rest of civilization. It is not uncommon to find poor schools and inadequate medical facilities in the area."

"text": "\"2008 Trafficking Law Largely Inapplicable to Current Border Crisis Facebook Twitter Google+ Email Print By Jon Feere on July 16, 2014Download a PDF of this Backgrounder Jon Feere is the Legal Policy Analyst at the Center for Immigration Studies. The recent influx of Central American illegal immigrants has resulted in a significant debate about how the United States should deal with the newly arrived families and children. Despite the attention it has received, by its own terms, the \"\"William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008\"\" — a law aimed, in part, at \"\"unaccompanied alien children\"\" who are victims of trafficking — may have little applicability to the current situation on the border: It appears that a significant majority of children coming across are not \"\"unaccompanied alien children\"\" according to the definition found in federal law. Federal law defines an \"\"unaccompanied alien child\"\" as an illegal alien under the age of 18 who is without \"\"a parent or legal guardian in the United States\"\". Data from government agencies suggest that the overwhelming majority of minors arriving on the U. S. border have family in the United States. There is little evidence to suggest that the recent arrivals are victims of trafficking, which involves coercion. Instead, families and their children are willing participants in smuggling operations, having paid smugglers to bring them into the United States. As ICE explains, \"\"Human trafficking and human smuggling are distinct criminal activities, and the terms are not interchangeable. \"\" Even where the 2008 trafficking act is applicable, provisions within the law allow its application to be limited in \"\"exceptional circumstances\"\", which — as one prominent Democratic senator recently suggested — might include the current border crisis. It is important to remember that trafficking laws are not responsible for the current illegal immigration surge and any changes that might be made will likely have little impact."

This guide to provide policymakers, the media, and the public with an easy-to-understand guide to the main components of S. 744 and the purpose behind them. The guide follows the structure of the bill, with a separate section addressing the cost-benefit analysis of S. 744, a resources page, and a glossary. The Basics What is S. 744? The “Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act,” or S. 744, is a broad-based proposal for reforming the U. S. immigration system written by a bipartisan group of eight Senators known as the “Gang of Eight.” Senators Charles Schumer (D-NY), John Mc Cain (R-AZ), Richard Durbin (D-IL), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Michael Bennet (D-CO), and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) drafted S. 744 in the spring of 2013. The bill addresses all aspects of the immigration process from border and enforcement issues to legal immigration reforms. It makes changes to the family and employment-based visa categories for immigrants, provides critical due-process protections, increases the availability of nonimmigrant workers to supplement all sectors of the workforce, and provides legal status to 11 million undocumented immigrants within the United States. The Senators intended this legislation to address these issues “…by finally committing the resources needed to secure the border, modernize and streamline our current legal immigration system, while creating a tough but fair legalization program for individuals who are currently here. ”If enacted, S. 744 would require that a series of enforcement measures, or “triggers,” go into effect prior to completing the legalization process."

In fact, with the exception of Native Americans, everyone living in this country is either an immigrant or the descendent of voluntary or involuntary immigrants. Yet every wave of immigration has faced fear and hostility, especially during times of economic hardship, political turmoil, or war: During the depression of the 1840s, mobs hostile to immigrant Irish Catholics burned down a convent in Boston and rioted in Philadelphia. In 1882, Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, one of our nation's first immigration laws, to keep out all people of Chinese origin. During the \"\"Red Scare\"\" of the 1920s, thousands of foreign-born people suspected of political radicalism were arrested and brutalized. Many were deported without a hearing. In 1942, 120,000 Americans of Japanese descent had their homes and other property confiscated, and were interned in camps until the end of World War II. During the same period, many Jews fleeing Nazi Germany were excluded under regulations enacted in the 1920s. In the 1950s, a government program targeted Mexicans, exclusively, for deportation."

Bipolar campaigners and psychiatrists say the delays are \"\"staggering\"\" and are worrying because those with the illness are 20 times more likely than the general population to take their own lives. In a survey of 706 people with bipolar, it emerged that the average wait until someone was correctly diagnosed was 13.2 years. While 15% of participants did get diagnosed promptly, the other 85% experienced difficulties in having their illness identified. Most of those were wrongly told they had depression. Among the 85% whose diagnosis was delayed, 71% said that their symptoms had become worse as a result of receiving inappropriate treatment, such as antidepressants or sleeping pills. \"\" A delay of this length has a significant impact for individuals and families, with sometimes devastating consequences, as bipolar has the highest rate of suicide of any psychiatric illness,\"\" said Suzanne Hudson, chief executive of Bipolar UK. It conducted the survey along with the Royal College of Psychiatrists and Bipolar Scotland in order to highlight the often lengthy delays in diagnosing the condition, to coincide with Wednesday's first National Bipolar Awareness Day. Bipolar disorder is one of the most common causes of lost years of life and health in those aged 15 to 44, ahead of war, violence and schizophrenia, according to the World Health Organisation. Research suggests that between 1% and 2% of the population become bipolar at some point."

One review of adults with ADHD demonstrated that 42 percent had one other major psychiatric disorder.

One showed me at about eight months old, crawling on the grass of Golden Gate Park. I was looking directly at the camera, my tongue sticking out of the corner of my mouth, and I was laughing. My face was lit from within, and looked happy, confident and even a little mischievous. I was absolutely transfixed by that photograph for days. I would continually take it out of my wallet and stare at it, torn between laughter and tears. For a while I couldn’t figure out what it was about the picture that drew me. Finally it hit me; this was the only picture of myself as a child that I had seen which showed me laughing. All the photos I had ever seen depicted a child staring solemnly or smiling diffidently, but never laughing. I looked at the Golden Gate Park picture and wished that I had remained that happy, and that depression had not taken away my childhood."

"text": "Could I have been misdiagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder at age 17? By Holly Counts, Psy. D. Q: When I was in high school I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder shortly following my father’s death. I feel that this diagnosis is inaccurate seeing as how I was in fact an emotional teenager and anyone in that situation at that age would present symptoms of BPD. I was later hospitalized for 3 months and diagnosed with bipolar 1 disorder as I suffered from psychosis as well. However shortly before my discharge I was given back my diagnosis of BPD (I was 18) by a different psychiatrist. Since then my diagnosis has gone back and forth. I personally feel (& my current therapist agrees) that at this point in life I clearly do not present BPD seeing as how I have not self harmed in over 2 years, and I have no desire to be around people, I clearly have no attachment to anybody, I haven’t had any kind of drama in my life and my moods last longer cycling a few weeks at a time. My question is, could my diagnosis be incorrect as I was diagnosed at what I feel is a young age and how do I a get a new psychiatrist to determine this as most psychiatrists fear my BPD diagnosis when they read my file & since I live in Canada, I fell through the cracks of the system and am completely unable to get a new psychiatrist even though I’m taking psychiatric medication. Thank you so much for any tips you can give me."

Lamictal, known as lamotrigine in its generic form, is an anticonvulsant medication prescribed in tandem with other medications to prevent and control seizures in children over age two, adolescents, and adults. It treats partial onset seizures, generalized tonic-clonic seizures, and generalized seizures of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. It is not known if Lamictal is safe or effective when prescribed as an antiepileptic on its own. Lamictal can also be used to prevent the sudden mood changes that occur as a symptom of bipolar disorder in adults (ages 18-65). The safety and effectiveness of Lamictal is not known for treating bipolar disorder in individuals under age 18 and over age 65. How to Use Lamictal Before starting or refilling a Lamictal prescription, read the medication guide included with your pills, as it may be updated with new information. This guide should not replace a conversation with your doctor, who has a holistic view of your or your child’s medical history, other diagnoses, and other prescriptions. If you have questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist before you begin taking the medication. Dosage for Lamictal As with all medications, follow your Lamictal prescription instructions exactly."

"text": "Early Cannabis Use and BDNF Gene Variant Increase Psychosis Risk May 3, 2017 · Posted in Genetics, Risk Factors · Comment Normal variations in genes can affect risk of mental illness. One gene that has been implicated in psychosis risk is known as BDNF. It controls production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, a protein that protects neurons and is important for learning and memory. Another important gene is COMT, which controls production of the enzyme catechol-O-methyltransferase, which breaks down neurotransmitters such as dopamine in the brain. Several forms of these genes appear in the population. These normal variations in genes are known as polymorphisms. Certain polymorphisms have been linked to disease risk. A study by Anna Mané and colleagues published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research in 2017 explored links between COMT and BDNF polymorphisms, cannabis use, and age at first episode of psychosis. Mané and colleagues found that among 260 Caucasians being treated for a first episode of psychosis, the presence of a BDNF polymorphism known as val-66-met and a history of early cannabis use were associated with younger age at psychosis onset. The val-66-met version of BDNF occurs in 25-35% of the population."

This page includes a description of the main symptoms of bipolar disorder, followed by a short discussion of bipolar disorder triggers. When I was first diagnosed with bipolar disorder I thought to myself, “I have mania and depression, so I will get help with these and get better.” Well, it didn’t work that way, because there are just so many more symptoms that those of us with this illness have to deal with. These include anxiety, psychosis, paranoia (a type of psychosis), sleep problems, ADHD symptoms, OCD symptoms, and more.

There are many theories about causes such as biological and genetic factors, environmental influences, and childhood or developmental events. However, it is generally believed that clinical depression is most often caused by the influence of more than just one or two factors. For instance, a person whose mother had recurrent major depression may have inherited a vulnerability to developing clinical depression (genetic influence). This combined with how the person thinks about him- or herself (psychological influence) in response to the stress of going through a divorce (environmental influence), may put him or her at a greater risk for developing depression than someone else who does not have such influences. Related Features Articles Mental Disorders in America The Invisible Disease: Depression What Every Woman Should Know Books The Feeling Good Handbook, by David Burns Control Your Depression, by Peter Lewinsohn and Associates More Books... The causes of clinical depression are likely to be different for different people. Sometimes a depressive episode can appear to come out of nowhere at a time when everything seems to be going fine. Other times, depression may be directly related to a significant event in our lives such as losing a loved one, experiencing trauma, or battling a chronic illness.

Description Bipolar disorder is characterized by alternating manic episodes in which the individual feelsabnormally euphoric, optimistic, and energetic and depressive periods in which the individual feelssad, hopeless, guilty, and sometimes suicidal. Manic or depressive periods may last for days,weeks, or months and run the spectrum from mild to severe.

Bipolar I disorder is characterized by at least one manic episode without a major depressiveepisode. Manic episodes are the \"\"high\"\" of the manic-depressive cycle. A person experiencing a manic episode often has feelings of self-importance, elation, talkativeness, increased sociability,and a desire to embark on goal-oriented activities, coupled with the characteristics of irritability,impatience, impulsiveness, hyperactivity, and a decreased need for sleep.

This scenario offers the best chance for lambs to survive and thrive. Of course, it also creates a food supply for young predators that are born in the spring. Ewes are mostly \"\"short-day \"\"breeders. When day length becomes shorter (in the fall), this triggers the ewe's brain to release hormones that jump start her reproductive system. The further away from the equator the sheep breed originated, the more likely it is to exhibit these seasonal breeding patterns. Conversely, sheep breeds developed in the tropics or nearer to the equator are less likely to display seasonal breeding patterns. Breeds in the U. S. that have less seasonal breeding patterns include the Dorset, Rambouillet, Polypay, Karakul, Merino, Finn, and hair sheep. Ewes are also called \"\"seasonally, polyestrus\"\" because their reproductive cycle is controlled by the photoperiod (season) and they come into heat (estrus) every ~17 days (until they become pregnant), but only during their fertile period."

I know there are many variables involved such as breed, soil, weeds, not to mention the price of meat but would appreciate a ballpark figure to see if our dream is even close to a reality. I have read a bit about hectares needed for sheep per 100mm of rainfall. If we are looking at buying a property in an area with average rainfall of 600mm per annum;1. In your experience how many sheep (counting ewes only I suppose) could we sustain on 50 hectares of average land assuming the 600m per annum average rainfall? I know this comes down to how much feed can be obtained from the land but just looking for an average figure to start further research and guidance with.2. Can 1 ram service 100 sheep? What is the recommended limit or average ewes per ram? Lastly I suppose I am trying to get a rough ballpark figure on gross profit (I know I am excluding all capital and variable costs to see if it is even profitable). Through my research as a beginner I have estimated that a lamb at 5 months of age might weigh 40kg with a carcass weight of 19kg (depending on breed)."

S. in the 1980s from South America (Peru, Bolivia and Chile). There are two types of alpaca – the Huacaya (pronounced wah–kay–ya), and the Suri (pronounced sir-ee). The main difference between the two is in the appearance of their fiber. The Suri has fine fiber that is quite straight and appears to hang in dreadlocks from their body. The Huacaya has very crimpy fiber, which gives them a woolly and round appearance. Both types come in a wide variety of natural colors – 22 different ones in fact - ranging from bright white to true black with all shades of brown and gray. Q. What is a cria? A.

Regardless of genetic merit, eye appeal, price or showring placing, if a sheep will not reproduce it is worth no more than current slaughter value. To a large extent, the goals and objectives we have for our next lamb crop are determined before and during the breeding season. Increasing ewe productivity while decreasing labor, time and facilities requirements during the lambing season can be realistic objectives. Reproduction in sheep is influenced by numerous factors. These include: genetic potential, nutritional status, environmental factors, daylength or photoperiod effects, health status and other factors. These factors are important in both the ram and the ewe. Because many sheep have the potential for multiple births we can use management practices to influence these factors and to increase the reproductive rate.

This is the only protection they have from predators. There is safety in numbers. It is harder for a predator to pick a sheep out of a group than to go after a few strays.

"text": "\"Icelandic sheep (both rams and ewes) can be horned or polled. Mixing the horn and polled genetics results sometimes in scurred animals ( see ewe at right) . We have made the decision to breed - for the most part - for homozygous horns (breeding horned ewes to horned rams). We have occasionally brought in ewes that were polled (see black ewe bottom right photo) because they had other special genetics that we were looking for at the time (superb fleece or conformation or an outcross line). After years of breeding Icelandic sheep, we believe that it is best to breed horned sheep to horned sheep and polled sheep to polled sheep. Since the horned genetics are recessive to the polled genetics, it is important to help preserve the horned trait. If breeders continued to breed polled sheep to horned sheep, eventually the horn genetics would be lost. Because the lamb inherits polled/horned genetics from each of its parents, it is possible to breed horn or polled traits into a line in a few generations of breeding. Horns consist of an internal bony structure that continues to grow upward and outward from the base of the skull. The internal structure of this \"\"live\"\" horn is made up of blood vessels."

Like most ruminants, sheep are members of the order Artiodactyla, the even-toed ungulates. Although the name \"\"sheep\"\" applies to many species in the genus Ovis, in everyday usage it almost always refers to Ovis aries. Numbering a little over one billion, domestic sheep are also the most numerous species of sheep. An adult female sheep is referred to as a ewe ( / juː / ), an intact male as a ram or occasionally a tup, a castrated male as a wether, and a younger sheep as a lamb. Sheep are most likely descended from the wild mouflon of Europe and Asia. One of the earliest animals to be domesticated for agricultural purposes, sheep are raised for fleece, meat (lamb, hogget or mutton) and milk. A sheep's wool is the most widely used animal fiber, and is usually harvested by shearing."

Although small dogs can be more aggressive and some seem to enjoy biting ankles, these larger breeds can do a lot more damage if they attack. Most of the dogs listed here were originally bred to guard and protect and a few of them were (and, sickeningly, still are) used for dog fighting. Personally, I believe that any breed of dog can show aggression and act unpredictable if raised incorrectly by irresponsible owners and unfortunately, the following dogs seem to have had a lot of media coverage regarding their temperament and disposition. Most dogs will only attack if they, their family or their property is threatened in any way. They should be socialised from a very early age, and trained using positive techniques such as rewarding good behaviour, and a high-quality dog training collar. Never hit your dog. Please!! ! Responsible breeders have tried to breed the aggression out of certain breeds but irresponsible owners have been known to incorrectly raise their dog and then breed from it to sell the puppies for money, with little regard to monitoring their temperament. If you plan on getting one of these breeds then please make sure you check out the dog's parent's temperament if possible."

The Gansu Alpine Finewool was initially based on Mongolian and Tibetan ewes and was developed through backcrossing to Merino type, followed by selection. The breed was developed in the Huangchen District of Gansu Province, China, which has an altitude of 2,600 to 4,000 m (8,530-13,123 ft), an annual mean temperature of 0 to 3.8°C (32-39°F), an annual precipitation of 257 to 461 mm, and an average humidity of 35 to 58 percent. The sheep are well adapted to this particular ecological condition. The average weight of grease fleece in ewes is about 4.6 kg (10.1 lbs), and the wool quality is 60-64's (20-25µm).

Thirty years later, breeding of these sheep started more in Westfalia and Eastern Prussia than in Saxony. The Merinofleischschaf (Merino mutton sheep) was prevalent in Saxony. Westfalia, with its high precipitation was the perfect area for the Schwarzkopf Fleischschaf, and it is still the main breeding area.

( signed) Needing a New Animal Companion Gentle Reader: In general, all animals kept by people in Viking Age Scandinavia, including dogs and cats, were working animals (as is the case today in rural areas and on farms). None the less, people kept animals as companions as well as for their utility around the farm. Pets Cats Dogs Bears Hawks and Falcons Other Pets Domesticated Animals Pigs Sheep Cattle Goats Horses CATSCat design on bronze tortiose-shell brooch, Jutland The Vikings kept cats for their valuable skills as mousers as well as keeping cats for pets. Kittens were sometimes given to new brides as an essential part of setting up a new household. It is especially appropriate that brides should receive cats, since cats were associated with Freyja, the goddess of love. The Vikings believed that Freyja rode a cart drawn by a team of cats. It might seem absurd to imagine a cart drawn by cats, until one realizes that Viking cats were not your standard Felis domesticus -- they were the Skogkatt (Norwegian, meaning literally \"\" Forest Cat \"\"), a wild breed native to the North. In Denmark, these cats are called Huldrekat ( huldre are female forest spirits, literally, \"\"the hidden folk\"\"). The Skogkatt is a large breed, known for their strong bones and muscular forms."

How long should a kid sit in a booster seat? When can a child be buckled into the front seat of the car? Gov. Chris Christie signed legislation last week that rewrites many of the rules on using car seats in New Jersey. The revised law, which goes into effect in September, includes new rules requiring babies and toddlers to remain in rear-facing car seats until they are 2 years old and 30 lbs. Older children must remain in booster seats until they are 8 years old or 57 inches. Parents and caregivers who don't follow the new regulations could face fines ranging from $50 to $75. Lawmakers said New Jersey's old car seat laws were vague and antiquated. \"\" With advances in research and car safety technology, recommendations to protect children in motor vehicles are always changing.

You can have the world’s best seat but if your child is too big for it or in the wrong position then the car seat will be worthless. Today we are going to talk about when you need to upgrade car seats (such as a convertible to a booster) and when to change positions (such as rear facing to forward facing)When to Change Car Seats Only upgrade car seats when you have to. Upgrading to the next seat up should not be based solely on age but rather on if your child has met a limit of their old seats. Note: These are all the basic guidelines. Each state has slightly different car seat laws so make sure you check out your state’s car seat laws; they may be more strict then these basic guidelines. When to Move Out of Infant Seats Note on Infant Seats: As you could use a convertible seat starting from newborn, you could upgrade to a convertible seat at any age/height/weight. However, here are the maximum limits for infant seats so that if you do use an infant seat, you can know when you must upgrade. Weight Limit – If your child is over the weight limit then they need to upgrade car seats. This will vary depending on your infant seat."

They raise the child and help keep the vehicle’s adult seat belt where it needs to be, to help protect your child. Don’t transition to this important stage unless you are sure:your child has outgrown their child car seat, andthe regulations in your province allow it On this page Checking the fit of the booster seat Checking the fit in your vehicle Buckling up your child Checking to make sure the seat belt stays in place When to move your child from a booster seat to a seat belt Contact Motor Vehicle Safety Checking the fit of the booster seat Even if a booster seat meets Canadian regulations, the seat you choose needs to fit your child, and your vehicle. A booster seat that fits will better protect your child during a sudden stop or a crash. The lap belt must fit snuggly on the hips. This will help the seat belt bring your child to a stop during a sudden stop or crash and helps protect your child from injuries. The shoulder belt should sit in the middle of your child’s shoulder because:this is most comfortable for your childthis makes it less likely for your child to wiggle out of the belt or put it behind him or herthis makes the belt less likely to slip off your child’s shoulder during a sudden stop or crash Try the booster seat in your vehicle before you buy it, if possible. Otherwise, ensure that the seat can be returned if it does not fit your child and your vehicle. Check provincial or territorial regulations to make sure that your child meets the age, height and or weight requirements for a booster seat. Checking the fit in your vehicle Read the booster seat manual and the section of your vehicle user manual that describe how to install child seats and booster seats."

"text": "\"Kids Health / For Parents / Booster Seat Safety What's in this article? Listen Booster seats are vehicle safety seats for kids who have outgrown forward-facing or convertible car seats but are still too small to be properly restrained by a vehicle's seatbelts. Booster seats lift kids up so that seatbelts lie across the strong bones of the chest and pelvis instead of the belly and neck, where they can do serious damage in a crash. Many states have laws requiring booster seats for kids up to 8 years old and 80 pounds (36 kilograms), or 4 feet 9 inches (about 150 centimeters) tall. Guidelines for Choosing a Booster Seat Choose a seat with a label that states that it meets or exceeds Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213. Accept a used seat with caution. Never use a seat that's more than 6 years old or one that was in a crash (even if it looks OK, it could be structurally unsound). Avoid seats that are missing parts or are not labeled with the manufacture date and model number (you'll have no way to know about recalls), or do not come with an instruction manual. Also, check the seat for the manufacturer's recommended \"\"expiration date.\"\" If you have any doubts about a seat's history, or if it is cracked or shows signs of wear and tear, don't use it."

"text": "Don’t ditch your child’s booster seat too soon In the last 20 years, America has seen a 71 percent drop in infant fatality rates from vehicle crashes, thanks to the proper use of car seats. For children ages 5 to 12, vehicle crashes remain the number one cause of death in California, according to a California Department of Public Health study. The reason? Many parents stop using booster seats for their children too soon. California law requires children stay in a child or booster seat until they are 6 years old or weigh at least 60 pounds. However, at that size, kids are still too small for an adult safety belt. Booster seats represent the third stage in your child’s car-seat evolution. Kids are ready for a booster when they can no longer be safely restrained by their forward-facing seat’s five-point harness. Check your car-seat manual to determine when that is, because every seat and every child is different. Generally, most kids are not ready for a booster until they’re around 4 years old and weigh 40 pounds, but that’s not always the case, says Myra Weiman, safety service manager of the Foundation for Safety and Education, a nonprofit affiliate of the American Automobile Association (AAA)."

"text": "\"Community / Children & Parenting / Safety Find Child Care State Car Seat Laws: What You Need to Know Sandra Gordon July 3, 2015like (0) comments (0)State car seat laws aren't perfect. Use them as basic guidelines for keeping your kids safe on the road, but don't be afraid to go the extra mile for your kid's safety. You know that strapping your children in for every car ride is important for their safety and statistics back that up. For infants and toddlers, child restraints reduce fatal injuries by up to 71 percent, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But did you also know that your state has laws that mandate which car seats your child should be using when? \"\" States regulate how long kids should stay in child restraints and how the law should be enforced,\"\" says Jessica Jermakian, senior research scientist for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. State car seat laws require kids to travel in an approved child restraint device until they reach a certain age or weight, and some require older children to use adult safety belts. But car seat laws vary among states, especially regarding when kids are old enough to use a seat belt instead of a car seat. For example, children who are as young as 6 or are at least 60 pounds may use an adult seat belt without a booster seat in Arkansas. But in Illinois, children can't use an adult seat belt without a booster seat until age 8, if they weigh more than 40 pounds."

This means that a 5-year-old child who tops the scale at 35 pounds will need to stay in a child safety seat, even though he is old enough to use a booster. The Ohio Department of Public Safety recommends keeping kids in a rear-facing seat until they reach at least 20 pounds and their 1st birthday. Booster Seat Requirements Once your child reaches his 4th birthday or weighs more than 40 pounds, Ohio law requires him to use a booster seat unless he is 4 feet, 9 inches or taller. He must sit in a booster seat until age 8 or until he reaches the height limit. The law applies to anyone who transports your child, including grandparents and babysitters, so you will need to buy an extra booster seat, or switch it out if your child rides in a different car."

A booster seat that fits will better protect your child during a sudden stop or a crash. The lap belt must fit snuggly on the hips. This will help the seat belt bring your child to a stop during a sudden stop or crash and helps protect your child from injuries. The shoulder belt should sit in the middle of your child’s shoulder because:this is most comfortable for your childthis makes it less likely for your child to wiggle out of the belt or put it behind him or herthis makes the belt less likely to slip off your child’s shoulder during a sudden stop or crash Try the booster seat in your vehicle before you buy it, if possible. Otherwise, ensure that the seat can be returned if it does not fit your child and your vehicle. Check provincial or territorial regulations to make sure that your child meets the age, height and or weight requirements for a booster seat. Checking the fit in your vehicle Read the booster seat manual and the section of your vehicle user manual that describe how to install child seats and booster seats."

This means that, in most vehicles, the side seats have lower anchors AND tether anchors, while the center seat has a tether anchor but NO lower anchors. This diagram above shows the varied locations you may find the tether anchor in the vehicle. ALWAYS check the vehicle owner’s manual to make sure that what you have found is indeed the tether anchor (and not a cargo hook, which can not withstand the force of a crash).

However, kids should sit in the rear seat with a seat belt on until they are at least 13 years old. Some experts say older, but no younger than 13 in the front seat. Keep in mind what is the minimal \"\"legal\"\" requirement is not necessarily the best safety practice. The 80 pounds/age 8 restriction is for a child seat/booster requirement. A lot of cars with passenger side airbags are not going to be safe unless minimal height requirements are also met.

A child restraint system may be a child safety seat, harness, vest or a booster seat. The vehicle's safety belt alone is not a child restraint system.

Retirement 1/24/2014 @ 11:39AM 236,313 views When It Makes Sense To Take Social Security Income At 62Financial decisions are rarely cut and dry since rules don’t necessarily apply to every situation. For example, a 61½-year-old former financial planning client of mine was dead set to delay applying for Social Security. He’d heard (correctly), the longer he delays starting his payments up to age 70, the higher the monthly benefit he receives from Social Security for the rest of his life. In his situation however, “the delay as long as possible” rule of thumb doesn’t work. The concept is spot on though. Waiting until your full retirement age can provide a higher lifetime income. When you file for Social Security at your full retirement age (which depends on your birthdate and is currently age 66), you receive 100% of your benefit. If you take your benefit early, at age 62, you only receive about 75% of your monthly benefit. Every year you delay taking it, your benefit goes up until age 70."

Here are some frequently asked questions and answers about when and if to apply for the different types of Medicare. Who needs to apply for Medicare? You may not need to sign up for Original Medicare, Part A and Part B, but you may have options about the type of Medicare coverage you receive. To be eligible for Medicare, you must be either a U. S. citizen or a legal permanent resident of at least five continuous years. Generally, if you're receiving Social Security or Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) benefits, you'll be automatically enrolled in Medicare when you turn 65. If you're under 65 and have been receiving disability benefits from Social Security or the RRB for two years, or if you have ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also called Lou Gehrig's disease), you also qualify for automatic enrollment. If you don't qualify for automatic enrollment in Medicare, you need to apply when you become eligible. For details about whether you need to apply for Medicare, see Do I Need to Apply for Medicare?

A secondary limit is that you can only contribute \"\"compensation\"\" -- money you earn from work. Even if you've worked for years to earn Social Security, that doesn't count. Wages, commissions, salaries, tips and self-employment income all qualify, and so does alimony.

Since you are not quite at full retirement age, then the most you can earn without penalty to your social security check is $14,160. If you earn more than that, then 50% of the extra is deducted from your social security (for example, if you earned $15,160, they would take back one-half of $1,000 or $500). If you reach full retirement age during the year, then the limit is higher. One way out of this, although it is little known, is to ask SS to stop and restart your benefits. If you have been collecting for a while at the reduced benefit level, you can (if you have the cash) stop and repay all you received before, and restart at the higher benefit level. Very few employees at ss even know about this, and it is hard to do because you have to come up with so much cash, but it is useful if you recently started collecting and decided instead to continue working.

Thirty-four states had pending legislation regarding identity theft during the 2012 legislative sesion. Alabama enacted three bills creatingd the Alabama Digital Crime Act, amending the definition of dealing in false identification documents and expanding the defintion of identity theft to include using a person's identity to gain employment. California revised and expanded existing law that requires a county welfare department to request a consumer disclosure, pursuant to federal law, on behalf of a youth in a foster care placement in the county, when the youth reaches his or her 16th birthday, in order to ascertain whether the youth has been the victim of identity theft, as specified. Colorado added a surcharge for individuals convicted of identity theft against at-risk adults or juveniles. Delaware authorizeed and required DSCYF to run a credit report for each child in its care within 30 days of the child’s 16th and 17th birthdays. DSCYF will then review the credit report for any possible identity theft. Illinois included using, possessing, or transferring a radio frequency identification device capable of obtaining or processing personal identifying information from a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag or transponder with knowledge that the device will be used by the person or another to commit a felony violation of state law as identity theft and amended the false personation of public officials provision. A second enacted bill provided that no applicant may receive a license from the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services and no person may be employed by the Department or a child care facility licensed by the Department who has been convicted of committing or attempting to commit specified offenses, including identity theft, unless, after careful review of the circumstances surrounding the convictions, through questioning of the applicant and accessing and reviewing official documents, the Department determines that the applicant does not pose a threat to state resources or clients. Kentucky and Michigan now allow exceptions to an insurer’s use of credit information with regard to rates, rating classifications, tier placement and underwriting guidelines for specific life events, including identity theft."

( i Stock Photo)If you take money out of your 401 (k) or individual retirement account too soon or too late, you'll be penalized. There are also penalties if you claim Social Security and Medicare benefits early or late, respectively. Take care to avoid these five significant retirement penalties: IRA early withdrawal penalty. If you withdraw money from your IRA before age 59½, you will generally have to pay a 10 percent early withdrawal penalty in addition to income tax on the amount withdrawn. So, if you withdraw $5,000 from your IRA at age 40, you’ll need to pay a $500 tax penalty. However, there are a variety of ways to avoid the 10 percent penalty. If you use the money to pay for college costs or purchase a first home (up to $10,000), the penalty doesn’t apply. You don’t need to pay the penalty if the distribution is for some specific circumstances, including significant medical expenses that exceed 10 percent of your adjusted gross income, purchasing health insurance after a layoff or paying for expenses associated with a significant disability. You can also set up a series of annuity payments from your IRA without incurring the 10 percent penalty."

"text": "\"Chuck Saletta ( TMFBig Frog)May 9, 2016 at 6:03AMOne of the biggest decisions you'll face in your retirement is when to take Social Security. On average, seniors receive 39% of their income from the program, and over half of seniors get more than half of their income from Social Security. You can start receiving Social Security retirement benefits as young as age 62, and between age 62 and 70, the longer you wait to start, the higher your benefit will be. Key factors you should consider in your decision include: How long you reasonably expect to live,When you expect to stop working for pay,What other sources of income you'll have, and What expenses you'll need to cover. The ages that count There are three key age-related milestones in the Social Security system, age 62, your full retirement age, and age 70. Most people start collecting as they reach one of those milestones, with the specific age they choose depending on their own personal circumstances. Age 62: This is the minimum age that you can start claiming retiree benefits from Social Security. The advantage of claiming at age 62 is that you will receive your benefit for the longest possible time. The key disadvantages are that your monthly check will be smaller by claiming early than it would be by waiting until your full retirement age and that if you're still working, you could face a penalty that reduces your monthly check. If you're below your full retirement age and still working while collecting Social Security, your Social Security benefit for the year will be reduced by $1 for every $2 you earn above $15,720."

You may be able to collect on a pension from your employer, or you may have investment returns piled up in various accounts, such as a 401 (k), 403 (b), profit-sharing plan or an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). Finally, there is Social Security, the mainstay for millions of Americans in their 60s and beyond. No matter where your retirement money comes from, however, once you start to collect it or withdraw it from your accounts, it becomes income. This makes it essential to understand the tax implications of contributing to and cashing in your retirement funds. Taxable Income What is taxable? The answer, perhaps not surprisingly, is that taxes must be paid on most types of retirement income. Here are some examples: Unless they come from certain public pension funds, pension payments generally are taxable at the time that they’re issued. Money in 401 (k)s and similar accounts that you funded with regular contributions from your paycheck becomes taxable when you withdraw it. Remember: You contribute to these accounts on a pre-tax basis, which means the money is deducted from your gross salary before taxes are calculated on your pay."

Chuck Saletta ( TMFBig Frog)Nov 5, 2014 at 10:05AMSource: pixabay.com. The general rule for your Social Security benefit is that the more you earn during your working career (up to the program's maximums), the higher your benefit will be. There is one set of circumstances, however, where earning more money can actually reduce what you receive from Social Security. That happens when all three of the following are true: You are below your full retirement age. You are collecting Social Security benefits. You are still working and earning more than the exempt amount. Why would you collect and still work? Most people view and treat Social Security as part of their retirement plans, but there are a few cases where you might wind up in the situation of collecting while still working. For instance, if you find yourself unexpectedly laid off at age 62 and view your prospects of finding another job as slim, starting Social Security early might seem like a reasonable way to get yourself some income."

"text": "Maurie Backman ( TMFBook Nerd)Feb 8, 2017 at 6:18PMMedicare provides critical health benefits to countless seniors. You can register for Medicare during the seven-month enrollment period surrounding your 65th birthday, but if you don't enroll on time, you'll face not only a period without coverage, but a penalty that could increase your premiums -- for life. That's why it's important to pay attention to Medicare enrollment deadlines and sign up without delay. Enrolling in Medicare Though you're not eligible for Medicare benefits until you turn 65, you can actually enroll in the program beforehand. In fact, your initial enrollment period encompasses a seven-month period that begins three months before the month in which you turn 65 and ends three months after the month in which you turn 65. IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES. If you fail to sign up for Medicare during your initial enrollment period, you still get more chances to register. Namely, you can sign up during the general enrollment period of January 1 through March 31 of each year. But not signing up during your initial enrollment period could end up costing you. While most Medicare enrollees don't pay a premium for Part A, which covers hospital visits and the like, they do pay a premium for Part B, which covers preventative care and diagnostic services."

"text": "\"Many baby boomers say they want to work into their mid-60s and beyond, for both financial and social reasons. But going back to work after you sign up for Social Security can affect your benefits if you earn too much money. Here's a look at the effect of working after age 62: Working without claiming your benefit can increase your monthly check. You can claim Social Security benefits at age 62, but continuing to work without signing up for Social Security until you reach full retirement age or further delaying up until age 70 will increase your retirement benefits, assuming you now make more than you did in your 20s. \"\" Every year you keep working, your benefit gets recomputed,\"\" says Olivia Mitchell, a professor of insurance and risk management at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. \"\" If you can replace some low-earning years when you were young with some higher-earning ones in your 60s, that could enhance your benefit. \"\" While employed, you can also continue to tuck money into 401 (k)'s, IRAs, and other retirement savings. \"\" What Social Security does is calculate the average of your 35 best earnings years,\"\" says Peter Diamond, an economics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. \"\" If this year's earnings are not higher compared to the lowest of those years, then that is not going to add to your benefit. \"\" Watch out for income limits."

True, postponing retirement can have its advantages — you can delay tapping your 401 (k) nest egg and may even add to it while you’re working. But you can run into problems if you begin collecting Social Security checks or taking withdrawals from some tax-deferred retirement plans while you earn a paycheck. Generally speaking, overstaying your welcome at work could have some serious health care, Social Security and pension ramifications. Consider these four factors before signing on for another year. Income tax One of the most common caveats would-be retirees frequently fail to consider is that staying on the job an extra year might bump them into a higher tax bracket. “People forget that any extra distributions or benefits they receive on top of their salary also count as income,” says Kevin Seibert, managing director of the Lubbock, Texas-based think tank, the International Foundation for Retirement Education. “ It’s taxable, just like their regular salaries."

"text": "\"Declawing Kittens\"\"Declawing kittens (feline onychectomy), while possible, is considered to be inhumane by many. Kittens do recover quickly from the surgery which usually occurs between 3 to 5 months of age. The procedure is usually done on the front claws and only for indoor cats. Outdoor cats need all of their claws for climbing and protection. Declawing involves removing the claw which is the last bone of each cat finger. It is considered to be a surgery of last resort after behavior modification, claw covers and scratching posts fail. \"\" Declawing kittens is a practice which is not recommended by the American Association of Feline Practitioners. Their guidelines state the following:1. Declawing should only be considered after all other solutions have failed or if the cat poses a health risk to a family member (families where one member has a weakened immune system).2. Scratching is a normal feline behavior which is the way cats mark territory with a scent and for conditioning the claw (removing the covering sheath or husk).3."

Place a heating pad into the box as well, set to low. Wrap it in a towel or blanket so it won't accidentally burn your kitty. Leave enough room in the box so your furbaby can move away from the heating pad if he gets a bit too warm.

Their innate good looks are intoxicating to many. Kittens have a sweet innocence that will eventually disrupt the entire home with antics that can only be defined as wonderfully mischievous. There will be many milestones in the kittens’ first year.

It can be difficult to discover a cat’s age unless they are very old or very young, because cats give definite signs of what age they are in, but not how long they have to go to complete it. Cats also play with our perceptions by acting more confident, and older, than they feel. Most kittens are born quick-minded, and with nurturance, they only become more so. We can’t go by size to discover a kitten’s age, since cats can vary so much in size, and can have growth spurts at different ages to thwart best guesses."

Bringing home a kitten can be exciting — and daunting. Whether you're a novice cat owner (welcome to the club) or a veteran pet parent, it's always good to go over the basics when you start with a new bundle of fluff. If you get your kitten's health care, training and socialization right when she's young, she'll be healthy and well behaved as she grows into adulthood. Here are nine fundamental steps for taking care of your new kitten.1. Verify Your Kitten's Age Your kitten's age is more than just a number — in fact, it's a crucial part of her health care. For the first eight weeks of their lives, kittens have very specific developmental needs. Many breeders and shelters prefer that kittens not be released until they are at least 10 to 12 weeks. If you find yourself with a kitten under 8 weeks old, you'll need to consult your vet for special instructions.2. Find a Good Vet If you don't already have a veterinarian, ask friends or your cat's breeder or shelter for a referral."

Follow 17 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Before you decide to have your cat declawed, there are many things you should know before you make your decision. The surgery is basically an American trend, and is considered inhumane and is illegal in many countries, (England, Scotland, Wales, Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Denmark, Finland, Slovenia, Portugal, Belgium, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Yugoslavia and Japan). If that doesn’t impact your opinion about declawing, maybe this website will help you decide: http://community-2.webtv.net/stopdeclaw/... I believe that people who have their cats declawed are uneducated. It is not very difficult to train your cat to use a scratching post. The surgery is not simply a trimming of the claws, it’s an amputation of the distal phalanx, including bones, ligaments, and tendons! To remove the claw, the bone, nerve, joint capsule, collateral ligaments, and the extensor and flexor tendons must all be amputated. If you were to make a comparison, it would be like having the last joint of each of our fingers chopped off. So of course it is a painful surgery, with a painful recovery."

"text": "How to choose and fit a collar for your cat See our You Tube Channel for our video on how to fit a collar for your cat. The first thing to consider is whether your cat really needs to wear a collar. Some people need to attach magnetic or electronic keys to a collar in order to give the cat access through the cat flap (now flaps can also be programmed to open with the identification microchip located in the scruff of your cat’s neck). Others wish to have some form of visual identification (rather than just microchipping) in case the cat becomes lost or run over, or just to make sure that the neighbourhood knows the cat is owned. These are all acceptable reasons for wanting a cat to wear a collar. However, wearing a collar for the sake of ornamentation is not acceptable. There are potential dangers and few merits. Choosing a collar This cat caught his front leg in his collar and became badly injured after the collar cut deep into his body Avoid collars with elastic inserts - these can stretch to different extents and some will allow cats to get a leg stuck through. The collar can then become stuck and cause injuries in what we would think of as the 'armpit', (ie, under the front leg) – see pictures right. Some cats can also get collars stuck over their jaw in the same way."

By Vincent Iannelli, MD, a board-certified physician Updated November 06, 2017Share Pin Email Print Mieke Dalle/Getty Images Surprisingly, you can get shingles at almost any age, and about five percent of cases occur in children under age 15. Still, shingles is much more common in adults. In fact, 75% of shingles cases occur in adults over age 45. Shingles Shingles, which is also called herpes zoster, is a reactivation of previous chicken pox or varicella zoster virus infection. After a case of chicken pox, the chicken pox virus remains latent or dormant, but can at some point become reactivated -- causing shingles. Some facts about shingles include that: Shingles is rare in children under ten years of age Younger children who do develop shingles tend to have milder symptoms than adults with shingles People have a 10 to 15 percent chance of developing shingles at some point in their life if they once had chicken pox Children are thought to be at increased risk for developing shingles if they had chicken pox before they were 12 months old or if their mother had chicken pox in her third trimester of pregnancy Did you daughter ever have chicken pox? If not, did she get the chicken pox vaccine? Shingles Symptoms Classic shingles symptoms are a little different in children, which can make diagnosis difficult. Unlike adults, in which shingles symptoms often begin with a burning or tingling pain in one area of their body, which is followed by a rash with fluid-filled blisters, younger children often don't have much or any pain."

S.0November 02, 2010 • 556,618 views Previous Next Story at-a-glance Before the chickenpox vaccine was licensed in the US in 1995, children acquired natural immunity to the illness by age six. While it is contagious, chickenpox is a mild disease without any long-term or fatal complications. Normally, when you recover from chickenpox, the virus remains dormant in your nerve roots for many years, unless triggered by physical or emotional stress. When the virus is awakened, it surfaces as shingles, a painful illness marked with a blister-like rash on one side of the body. The chickenpox vaccine only provides temporary immunity, unlike the long-lasting immunity you get from getting the condition. At the same time, there are reports of serious reactions, injuries, and deaths from the mass use of the vaccine. Voluntary health choices are important in preventing vaccine issues. Help raise public awareness by arming yourself with vaccine information. Diane Murphy, MD, is the Director of the FDA's Office of Pediatric Therapeutics (OPT).

It can travel along roof panels or lumber in the attic before dripping onto your insulation and leaving the telltale yellow water spot on your ceiling. That means the leak can be far away from where the ceiling shows damage. Unless you have good detective skills when it comes to roof leaks, you'll want to enlist a roofing contractor to help track down the cause of the problem. Crowe points out that water spots on the ceiling don't automatically mean the roof is leaking. \"\" It could be caused by windows, condensation, plumbing, or even condensation on the plumbing pipes,\"\" she says. However, if the spots only appear, darken, or grow in size after it rains, the roof is likely the culprit.2Problem: Water Spots Appear on Exterior Walls Chris Darling/Flickr What the Roof is Trying to Tell You: The step flashing where the roof meets a wall is loose, rusted, or otherwise damaged."

"text": "\"What if Pain Persists Even After a Shingles Rash Clears Up?35 answers | Last updated: Jan 05, 2018A fellow caregiver asked... What does it mean if pain persists even after a shingles rash clears up? Expert Answers Dr. Leslie Kernisan is the author of a popular blog and podcast at Better Health While Aging.net. She is also a clinical instructor in the University of California, San Francisco, Division of Geriatrics. It's common for pain to continue for several weeks after the telltale rash and blisters of shingles have cleared. When pain is still present more than four months later, this is called postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). This condition causes the pain of shingles to last for weeks or months, sometimes years. At this point, there's no rash, only shooting or tingling pain in a particular area. Some people are also sensitive to touch (even the feel of a sheet on the skin) or to light. PHN is a common complication of shingles -- about 5 to 7 percent of adults under age 60 develop it, and the risk rises with age to about 15 to 20 percent of those over age 80. To reduce the odds of developing PHN after shingles: Get vaccinated for shingles (before it happens)."

But pluses and minuses make for a complicated equation. Vaccinations aren't just kid stuff anymore, and now there's another one that older Americans are being urged to get in addition to their annual flu shot, the pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine at age 65, and a tetanus booster every 10 years. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the group that sets vaccine policy for Americans, made its official recommendation for the shingles vaccine in 2008. All Americans ages 60 or older should get the shot, the committee says, even if they've already had shingles. The committee's recommendation of the need for the vaccine after shingles is a departure from the FDA-approved instructions for the vaccine (the package insert), which is silent on the subject. And it contradicts a question-and-answer sheet posted on the agency's Web site when the vaccine was approved, which suggests that it is unnecessary after you've had shingles because \"\"it's unlikely that people who have had shingles will suffer from them again. \"\" It's difficult to gauge the practical effects of the recommendations. Doctors may be more inclined to urge their patients to get the vaccine."

For the most part, it is not possible to get shingles more than once. Occasionally a person will get shingles twice in their lifetime, but rarely more. Most times, people only acquire shingles one time. Having shingles allows your body to build up antibodies to fight against it, which is why a recurrance is unlikely. If the immune system is compromised by some chance, the ability to develop shingles will arise, and in this case it would be possible for a person to experience them again periodically. In one known case of a person with a compromised immune system, he battled shingles four times in his adulthood. Ladynajera answered... Actually BCassin43 your wrong.

Puppy mills and large catteries have fallen prone to indiscriminate breeding and in many instances horrific conditions. Read as many gerbil sites as you can and one thing will become absolutely clear. “ You won't get rich raising them!” The only reason to raise gerbils, or any other animal, is love. We have stewardship over each gerbil that comes into our home. We are responsible for their health and happiness. This will require a great deal of time, money, and patience.

Do a search in this category and you'll find a question from a few days ago where someone was wondering what to do with the seven baby gerbils they already had and the litter that was on the way because the person couldn't fid homes for them and the pet store wouldn't take them either. Make sure your gerbils are healthy and are not related to each other (which they probably are if you got them from the same cage at the pet store). Rodents usually breed pretty easily and don't need much help in caring for their young. Remove the male/s to a separate cage once the female is pregnant and keep them separated from her until you're ready to breed again. Be ready to separate the babies by sex as soon as they're old enough to differentiate."

In 1954 gerbils arrived in the United States to be used in research and quickly won the hearts of lab workers who began taking them home as pets. Gerbils are about the same size as a small hamster. They weigh between 2 to 4 ounces and are about 4 1/2 inches long. The tail is as long as a gerbil’s body and is covered with fur. The hind legs are very muscular and they have large feet. Gerbils often stand on their haunches when not moving instead of crouching down. They often have a golden coat with white underbelly but gerbils can be a variety of different colors. A gerbil will usually live 3 to 3 1/2 years. Gerbils As Pets Gerbils are very intelligent, entertaining animals that love to play."

Blend Images/Dream Pictures/Vanessa Gavalya/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images Kinds of Gerbil Food Seed Mixes - These are loose mixtures of seeds, sometimes with pellets or dried vegetables and fruits added. Most of these will be nutritionally balanced but only if your gerbil eats everything in the mix. Unfortunately though, many gerbils will pick out their favorite items and leave the rest of the mixture in their bowl which can lead to a dietary imbalance if there are components your gerbils consistently avoid. This may be especially true if there are large amounts of sunflower seeds in the mixture (which are often favored by gerbils but are quite fatty) and alone are not a balanced diet. Because loose seed mixtures don't ensure a complete and balanced diet without eating all of the contents, they are not ideal for use as your gerbil's sole food. Pellets and Lab Blocks - These gerbil diets have the advantage of being nutritionally balanced. Pellets are the smaller pieces and lab blocks are the larger chunks of food that resemble small biscuits. Both are good options, although some people believe the lab blocks are the most ideal because of some thorough scientific research behind them."

"text": "\"Although some tiny and fluffy rodents are rather territorial and independent animals, such as the Syrian hamster, gerbils are definitely not part of this \"\"loner\"\" category. Gerbils are actually extremely gregarious, amiable and social little animals, and typically are much happier when they live in cages alongside at least one other companion. Gerbils often play wrestle, snuggle and groom each other when in the same cage. Pair of Gerbils Together Because of the social nature of gerbils, the ASPCA recommends housing a minimum of two of them together. To stop conflict and aggression, however, the younger the gerbils are brought together, the better. Sibling gerbils are ideal -- the little ones have been together for their entire lives and are used to each other, after all. If you're thinking about placing three or four gerbils in one cage, make sure your cage is spacious enough to accommodate them all comfortably. Also remember that three or four male gerbils typically can live together very serenely, although that doesn't always apply to females. Units of more than two females together may fight, and aggressively so, so always be cautious when planning gerbil living arrangements. Avoid Opposite Gender Pairings Keep gerbils of the opposite sex out of the same cage."

"text": "Hamsters reproduce at an astonishing rate: They're capable of producing litters as frequently as monthly. Hamsters can breed at just 3 weeks of age, which means your knowledgeable action is necessary to separate pups from their mother and put them into gender-specific housing groups as soon as they are weaned. Failure to do this can result in lots of unwanted hamster babies in a couple fortnights. Hamster Litters A typical female hamster can give birth to as many as 20 pups in a litter, though six to 12 is average. The mother will nurse and care for her babies the first two to three weeks of life, after which they will be able to transition to a commercial hamster diet. During this time , a mother hamster should be well-fed and hydrated, and kept in a quiet, low-stress environment. Anxious, underfed hamster mothers may otherwise kill their young. Weaning A mother hamster will start weaning her babies at 2 to 3 weeks of age. This time frame many vary based on how many pups are in the litter and how well individual pups are thriving. Pups may continue to try to nurse during this period but will be discouraged by their mother once they begin to reach maturity."

This means that ferrets are meat-eaters and one of the members of the weasel family. A common misconception is that ferrets are rodents. This is absolutely not the case, as rodents are a completely different scientific order. Scientific classifications then break down animals into specific species.

"text": "\"About How Many Weeks Are Guinea Pigs Pregnant? By Lisa Mc Querrey Guinea pigs have the longest gestation period of rodents commonly kept as pets. Pregnancy of a female guinea pig (sow) lasts 63 to 68 days, or about nine weeks. Unlike hamsters, gerbils and rats, baby guinea pigs (piglets) are born with open eyes, erupted teeth and a furry coat. Although they will nurse for as long as three weeks, piglets begin eating adult commercial guinea pig food within a few hours of birth. Breeding Guinea Pigs Guinea pigs are social animals who do well living in same-sex pairs of approximately the same age. Housing a male and female together will quickly result in pregnancy, as sows enter estrus every 16 days. During estrus she might exhibit increased appetite, mount cage mates, lift her rear when touched, and growl. If these behaviors cease, it is a good indication she is pregnant. If you are intentionally breeding guinea pigs, it is advisable for a sow to have her first litter at 3 to 7 months of age."

The risks outweigh the benefits, the relative costs are strictly prohibitive, and rats don’t display hormone-related behavioral problems such as those dogs experience. Rats sure will breed, though; so it's crucial to separate the genders; otherwise you’ll end up with far more rats than you bargained for. Males and females have different care needs. Physical Differences After they reach the age of about 5 weeks, rats are easier to sex than many other small rodents. The males have obvious genitalia; the females do not.

Toy and Small breeds can start to swap over to adult food from 5 months especially if they are desexed. Medium breeds (e.g. cocker spaniel size) begin swapping over at about 8 months, Large breeds (such as Golden retriever) must stay on puppy food for at least 12 months and Giant breeds (e.g. Great Danes) stay on puppy for for 18-24 months. When swapping the food ensure you do it over 7 days. Give 90% old food and 10% new and then increase new food each day until its totally on adult food. This helps avoid gastrointestinal upsets.

A Newfoundland may be a \"\"giant\"\" breed but they are possibly one of the most vulnerable dogs in terms of health and exercise. If you want to take your dogs on long walks whilst young, then a Newfoundland is possibly not for you. It is vitally important that you build your exercise up very gently. This is to be built up over time and when there is an obvious growth stage, take extra care. Walks should be built up at a steady pace to build muscle correctly. The growth of these dogs is so vast in such a short space of time, therefore their joints need to adapt and change constantly. This is why an overweight puppy can too lead to joint problems in early life. If growth is too quick most advise you switch you puppy onto adult food to slow down the growth process. For me, it is important not so much the protein if you are feeding a high quality kibble, but you do not want to feed a kibble too high in calcium and phosphorous."

You will be training your puppy from the moment you bring it home and start to house train. Puppies start learning from birth and good breeders begin handling and socialization right away. Some training can begin as soon as the puppy can open its eyes and walk. Young puppies have short attention spans but you can expect them to begin to learn simple obedience commands such as “sit,” “down,” and “stay,” as young as 7 to 8 weeks of age. Formal dog training has traditionally been delayed until 6 months of age. Actually, this juvenile stage is a very poor time to start. The dog is learning from every experience and delaying training means missed opportunities for the dog to learn how you would like him to behave. During the juvenile stage, the dog is beginning to solidify adult behavioral patterns and progresses through fear periods. Behaviors learned in puppyhood may need to be changed."

They have a keen sense of smell, love to work, and work for long periods of time without getting distracted. These are the reasons so many law enforcement agencies, and search & rescue organizations rely on them as service dogs. Your diet is important to you, so the diet you give to your GSD should be just as important. GSDs grow to be large dogs, weighing in between 70 and 100 pounds when they’re full grown, which requires a healthy blend of fats, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. A lot of owners believe dog food is dog food and take the route of saving money over looking at what is actually inside of the food that they’re giving their dogs.

"text": "Weaning Puppies A Guide to Weaning Puppies The definition of weaning – is to wean the young from the mother, from the mothers milk. Referring to the stage when puppies are introduced gradually to puppy food other than mothers’ milk or milk formula. A puppy should be on 100% mothers milk (if orphaned then milk substitute) until the age of three weeks. From the age of three weeks the weaning process begins by giving some soaked puppy food. Weaning puppies will result in gradually reducing Mum’s milk (naturally) and increasing the solid food over a period of time. The food should be soaked in a formula milk as part of the introductory phase. Puppy porridge (as it is often referred) is offered to the puppy so it can be lapped from a saucer. Over a period of time as the puppy gets used to the food, the liquid content is reduced so the food becomes more solid. This is so the puppy learns to be able to chew up the biscuit. The dam is capable of supplying milk to her offspring for several months (unless complications arise such as eclampsia)."

In raising the Great Pyrenees pups which are very fast growing puppies I started them on mushy, milk-canned dogfood mixture the day they opened their eyes which is usually 10 days. Doing this by 14 days I had them eating slightly moistened dry dogfood and by three weeks they were completely eating the dry food I left available for momma dog. I do agree with the good dog food mentioned above. To find a good dogfood read the list of ingredients on the bag and if there is \"\"wheat middlings, beet pulp, rice hulls, or corn husks\"\" listed in the first 5 ingredients that will be 90 % of what is in that bag and it is of no food value only a filler to make the dog feel full and does nothing but make a lot of poop to clean up.

"text": "Puppy Development - When Does A Puppy Become An Adult Dog? Share Tweet +1 Pin it There is no binary figure or calculation that can tell you for certain the age at which your puppy is considered to be an adult dog, or when they will themselves feel like an adult dog, or be viewed as such by other dogs. The development from puppy to adult is not necessarily linear, and it will pass through a range of stages that each individual dog will reach at different points of their lives. For the purposes of things like buying age-appropriate dog food and getting insurance coverage, dogs are often widely considered to be adult dogs once they turn one year old, but for many dogs, both physical and emotional development will continue until the dog is eighteen months or even two years old. Also, the time that a puppy reaches sexual maturity and is capable of reproducing is often considered to be a pivotal age point, but again, sexual maturity does not mean that any given dog should be considered an adult, and they will almost certainly have a lot of growing and maturing left to do. Read on to learn more about the stages of puppy development to reach adulthood, and how you can judge when your puppy has become a fully fledged adult dog. The baby stage During the first twelve weeks of your puppy’s life, they are growing and developing at the fastest rate, and physical and mental development slows down after this stage. Formative points of the young puppy’s life include gaining their eyesight and hearing, beginning to eat solid foods, moving away from their beds to go to the toilet, and beginning to pick up the very basic rules of etiquette when it comes to their interactions with their dam, littermates and people. Socialisation and learning about the world From twelve weeks onwards, your puppy continues to grow physically, but the biggest leap made during this time is the process of socialisation, learning about other dogs and people, and finding out about the wider world. At this age, your puppy should be allowed to socialise with both other puppies and adult dogs as much as possible."

Puppies and adult dogs were not meant to eat corn and wheat. If the first ingredient in your dog food is a corn, wheat, meat by-product, bone meal or anything but a real specified type of meat, steer clear. By-products are the leftovers, such as the eyes, hooves, skin, feathers and feet, that are not good for human consumption (unless the dog food specifically states otherwise.) Beware of ingredients that do not list exactly what it is, such as words like \"\"animal\"\" and \"\"meat\"\" as opposed to \"\"chicken,\"\" \"\"beef,\"\" \"\"duck,\"\" etc. See Rendered Products in Dog Food. The first ingredient on the label should represent what the dog food is most made out of, but beware, as this is not always the case... Using chicken as an example, when a dog food lists a meat in the ingredients such as \"\"chicken\"\" it is going by the weight in the meat’s raw state, before it was cooked. Chicken in its raw state weighs about 80% more than it does once it is cooked and processed into a dry pellet. Once it is processed you are left with only 20% of the actual meat."

By Mayo Clinic Staff Giving your baby his or her first taste of solid food is a major milestone. Here's what you need to know before your baby takes that first bite. Is your baby ready for solid foods? Breast milk or formula is the only food your newborn needs, and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive breast-feeding for the first six months after birth. But by ages 4 months to 6 months, most babies are ready to begin eating solid foods as a complement to breast-feeding or formula-feeding. It's during this time that babies typically stop using their tongues to push food out of their mouths and begin to develop the coordination to move solid food from the front of the mouth to the back for swallowing. In addition to age, look for other signs that your baby is ready for solid foods. For example: Can your baby hold his or her head in a steady, upright position?"

For about the first six months of life, your baby uses iron stored in her body from when she was in the womb. She also gets iron from your breastmilk and/or infant formula. But your baby’s iron stores go down as she grows. And by around six months, she can’t get the iron she needs from breastmilk or infant formula alone. Introducing solids is also important for helping your baby learn to eat, giving him experience of new tastes and textures from a range of foods, developing his teeth and jaws, and building other skills that he’ll need later for language development.

Some foods will be eaten up within seconds, while others will be spit out (and possibly thrown across the room).

Some foods pose health risks to babies under one year of age, some are just not soft enough for our children to handle, and some may pose as a high allergy risk. One food that often comes to mind is blueberries. Blueberries are a type of fruit packed with vitamins, fiber and antioxidants and are perfectly safe to give to your baby around eight months of age. Blueberries are very healthy for your child and are great served with other foods during breakfast or lunch, or served alone as a snack."

Whether you choose to give your baby a vegetable puree, rice cereal, pureed chicken, or a wedge of watermelon to gnaw on, offer him just one new food every three days, and watch closely for signs of allergic reaction.2of 137 Foods to Feed Baby Before Age 1NETWORK ERRORCannot Contact Server RELOAD YOUR SCREEN OR TRY SELECTING A DIFFERENT VIDEOWin Baby Gear!3of 13Ivee Stephens Berries Babies eat with their eyes, just as grown-ups do, and what's more beautiful than bright red or dusky blue berries?

Photo by Suzanne Plunkett/Reuters When my son was 6 weeks old, he would cry and cry and cry and cry. Even though I knew, of course, that babies did this—crying is their M. O.—the fact that nothing I did remedied my son’s shrieks and that I couldn’t identify a cause made the scientist in me crazy. There has to be something logical going on here, I would tell myself. Something I can fix. Several Google searches later, I decided that his wails were my fault: My son, I surmised, was allergic to cow’s milk, and my smoothies and more-than-occasional ice cream indulgences were probably infiltrating my milk and making his tummy hurt.

"text": "Why Ditch The Infant Cereals?by Kristen Michaelis 239 Comments| Affiliate Disclosure Share Tweet Pin Share Stumble Perhaps one of the biggest and most frightening crimes against young infants by pediatricians, food marketers, and parents everywhere is the recommendation that young infants should be eating rice cereals or other grains. Ages ago, when I had my first child, I enrolled in the government program for Women, Infants and Children (commonly known as WIC ). In my first (and only) appointment with the government-provided nutritionist, I learned two things. One, I was anemic. And two, I should start feeding my yet-to-be-born son rice cereal at the age of 4 months. This is a very common assertion backed up with absolutely no science or tradition and perpetuated by food marketers intent on creating a market for industrially-produced infant foods. What’s wrong with infant cereal? So glad you asked!It’s not traditional. In the Food Renegade’s nutritional philosophy, tradition has weight. After all, we’ve survived anywhere from 7,000 to 77,000 generations on this planet (depending on whose science you believe)."

"text": "\"Although honey is a delicious natural sweeter, it should not be fed to infants under one year of age because of the risk of infant botulism. In the United States, most honey products are labeled to indicate this, although the reason why is not spelled out, which confuses some consumers. In addition, the label does not specify that infants should not be fed any honey products, including baked goods with honey in them. Infant botulism is a type of food poisoning that can result in death. Botulinum spores are widely found throughout nature, although honey tends to harbor them more than other foods. In fact, botulinum can appear in other sweeteners, such as maple syrup, as well as corn syrup. Botulinum can even be found in dust, indicating that it is an extremely widespread toxin. As a result, most humans adapt to it and are able to fend off small amounts of the toxin, such as those present in honey. Infants, however, do not have a completely matured digestive system and are susceptible to botulism food poisoning. While honey does not always contain the spores, it is more likely to contain botulinum than some other food products, and therefore parents are recommended to avoid it unless it is pasteurized."

Still, by sticking to the right timing and sequence of your baby's first \"\"real\"\" foods, you can improve his nutrition and health. Before you start, remember that offering solids is a gradual process. Until now, your baby has only known breast milk or formula (and he'll continue to need them until he's 1). If he pushes food out of his mouth or presses his lips together when you eagerly try to spoon-feed him, don't force it. He may not be ready to eat solids yet. And even when he is, it can take as many as 20 times before he warms up to a particular food. The first few times you offer him something he's never eaten before, one or two teaspoons is enough."

"text": "\"Babies Growth & Development Your Baby Week Fifteen By Vincent Iannelli, MD, a board-certified physician Updated June 28, 2017Share Pin Email Print1 Thumb Sucking Image Source/Digital Vision/Getty Images Parents often find that their babies enjoy sucking on their fingers, thumb, and sometimes even try to put their whole hand in their mouth at around three months. Although thumb sucking has a bit of a negative stigma associated with it, typically because parents worry that their baby just won't stop, it is a normal and natural thing for babies to do. Even the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry states that sucking on fingers, thumbs, and pacifiers, \"\"is completely normal for babies and young children\"\" and that most children stop before any \"\"harm is done to their teeth or jaws. \"\" Why do so many babies begin to suck their thumb at around two or three months of age? It is at this age that they can more consistently find their fingers and thumb. They are also awake for longer periods of time, giving them more opportunities to suck their thumb, especially when they need to comfort or calm themselves. So don't worry about your baby's thumb sucking habit. She will likely give it up by the time she is six or seven months old. If not, then she may stop later on, when she is two to four years old. Your child may have some dental problems and may need some help if she doesn't stop by that age, though.2 Baby Potty Training Vladimir Godnik/Getty Images Most parents are familiar with the traditional advice that their child will likely be ready for potty training when they are some time between 18 months to 3 years old."

It starts when you begin feeding your baby in other ways than breast - or bottle-feeding. And it ends when the child no longer breastfeeds or takes a bottle. This process may last several weeks, a few months, or more than a year. Your baby may begin eating solid foods at about 6 months of age. At this point, you may want to offer cup-feeding to supplement breast - or bottle-feedings. Over the next 6 months, your baby may show signs that he or she is ready to wean. It is important to switch gradually to the cup. Although some mothers stop breast- or bottle-feedings abruptly, the baby may not be ready.

Until 6 months, breast or formula milk provides all the nourishment that babies need. At 6 months you can gradually introduce mashed foods (also known as ‘solids’). However, you should continue to give your baby her regular formula milk feeds until she is at least one year old. You may continue to breastfeed your baby for as long as you wish. Learning to eat Just as your baby had to learn to feed from your breast or a bottle, so she needs to learn how to eat solid food. This is a gradual process which shouldn’t be rushed. Be patient and allow your baby to develop her eating skills and tastes at her own pace. By her first birthday, your baby should be able to enjoy more or less the same food as the rest of the family. Developing a healthy approach to eating from the very start will stand her in good stead for the rest of her life."

How old do you think you should be before your parents can leave you at home while they go out? Should there be an age limit?

"text": "How Old Do Children Have to Be to Stay Home Alone in Montgomery County, Maryland?by ASHLEY GARAY July 01, 2013State laws differ as to what age you can leave your child home unattended, but Montgomery County, Maryland offers clear guidelines as to what qualifies as unattended and as to the age range appropriate for staying home alone and for babysitters. While age is important, you must also consider your child's maturity level and ability to follow instructions when considering leaving a child unattended for any length of time. Video of the Day Under Age 8You should never leave a child under age 8 alone, even for short periods. Maryland Child Protective Service Procedures classifies a child under age 8 as unattended if he is alone or under the care of a sitter under 13 or a caregiver who is otherwise considered unqualified or unreliable. Age 8 to 12If your child is between 8 and 12, Maryland Protective Services states that your child can stay home alone and unsupervised for short periods, such as before and after school, but not for an entire day. Children must have access to their parents or neighbors phone numbers and be instructed in what to do in an emergency. Children under 12 may not be the primary caregiver for younger children -- even siblings. Age 13 and Up Children over 12 are legally allowed to babysit younger children, and are legally allowed to be left unattended. However, although there are no laws dictating how long you can leave a child over 12 alone, as a parent or caregiver, you must use appropriate judgment -- particularly with children at the younger range of this spectrum -- when leaving children unattended for an extended time or overnight. Of course, you must leave children over 12 with resources such as emergency contacts, emergency instructions and access to food, water and transportation for school."

Share this conversation Answered in 21 minutes by: 8/27/2007Lawyer: Attorney & Mediator California has no specific legal age where a child can stay home alone. Rather, the law provides that the parent must be able to make the determination if their child is competent and capable of taking care of themselves and to handle every possible risk of harm which can occur if left alone. Below is a standard guide that the California Department of Health and Services has provided about this issue. If you wish to learn more about this contact your county's department of social services that handles this issue. In California, there is not a legal age at which a minor can be left unsupervised. Age in and of itself is not a reliable guide. There are several additional factors that influence whether it is appropriate to leave a child alone, even for short periods of time. Parents should use good judgment in deciding if their child (ren) is mature enough to be left without adult supervision."

Parents found guilty of this charge serve one to three years in prison, according to Illinois Legal Aid. Illinois law lists several criteria to determine the severity of the child neglect when the minor is left alone, including the person's age, access to food, whether or not emergency contact numbers were left with the child, weather conditions, time of day and location of the parent/guardian at the time the child was unsupervised."

If you don't check this out and a neighbor or police ever catch wind of you leaving an under-aged child alone for hours you can be jailed for this and your child (children) can be taken away. My sister just visited from Wisconsin, and she said that children can watch their own siblings by the age of 10 legally, but not others children. Personally, as a mother, I think that it all depends on the child and how responsible they are. 11 seems like a good age to start babysitting siblings and/or others children."

"text": "\"When Should You Start Claiming Social Security Benefits? Download article as a PDFFiguring out at what age you should start claiming Social Security benefits is a tricky decision, and it's one that cannot be undone. Should you, for instance, start claiming Social Security benefits at the early age of 62 and trade-off higher payments for a certain payment? Or, on the other hand, should you wait until the age of retirement, putting off monthly social security payments in exchange for receiving larger monthly checks when you do decide to collect? This choice is a hard one to make, and it is important to make the right decision the first time because you can't go back and change once you've made your choice. What follows is a guide that will help you determine at what age you should start collecting Social Security benefits. Three Options -- Early, Full and Late Retirement Under the Social Security laws, you can begin to receive your retirement payments once you hit the age of 62 (early retirement), at full retirement age (varies by year you were born), or at late retirement age (any age after your full retirement age). As the laws are currently set up, your full retirement age will be somewhere between 65 and 67 years of age, and is based upon the year you were born. To find out your retirement age, consult the following chart, which can also be found at the Social Security Administration's Website ( www.socialsecurity.gov) (valid as of January 2010). Year of Birth Full Retirement Age1937 and Earlier65193865 and two months193965 and four months194065 and six months194165 and eight months194265 and ten months1943-195466195566 and two months195666 and four months195766 and six months195866 and eight months195966 and ten months1960 and later67 (If born on January 1st, use the previous year's full retirement age)Claiming before your Full Retirement Age If you choose to claim your Social Security retirement benefits before you reach your full retirement age, you will receive an amount less than you would if you waited until your full retirement age."

"text": "If You Are The Survivor Just as you plan for your family's protection if you die, you should consider the Social Security benefits that may be available if you are the survivor—that is, the spouse, child, or parent of a worker who dies. That person must have worked long enough under Social Security to qualify for benefits. How Your Spouse Earns Social Security Survivors Benefits A worker can earn up to four credits each year. In 2018, for example, your spouse can earn one credit for each $1,320 of wages or self-employment income. When your spouse has earned $5,280, they have earned their four credits for the year. The number of credits needed to provide benefits for survivors depends on the worker's age when they die. The younger a person is, the fewer credits they must have for family members to receive survivors benefits. But no one needs more than 40 credits (10 years of work) to be eligible for any Social Security benefit. However, benefits can be paid to the worker's children and the surviving spouse who is caring for the children even if the worker doesn't have the required number of credits. They can get benefits if the worker has credit for one and one-half years of work (6 credits) in the three years just before their death."

En español | Social Security provided benefits to nearly 61 million Americans last year. Among beneficiaries age 65 and older, 21 percent of married couples and 43 percent of unmarried people rely on Social Security for 90 percent or more of their income. And 48 percent of married couples and 71 percent of unmarried persons in this age group receive 50 percent or more of their income from Social Security. Is Social Security just for retired workers? No. As of June 2016, 16 percent of beneficiaries were disabled workers and their dependents, and 13 percent were survivors (such as widows, widowers and children). At what age can I start collecting Social Security benefits? Workers can begin receiving retirement benefits at age 62, but your benefit will be greater if you wait until your full retirement age (currently 66 for those born after 1942) or later. Widows, widowers, surviving children, the disabled and children of the disabled can start collecting earlier."

It cannot lower, and will only increase, your benefits if it is applied. Social Security benefits received before a beneficiary's FRA will be reduced if they have covered earnings above the exempt amount. Spouse's and widow (er)'s benefits can be reduced due to either or both spouses having covered earnings exceeding the exempt amount before FRA. The earnings test is two tiered: Before FRA Year: the benefit is reduced by $1 for every $2 earned over the exempt amount. This reduces the benefits by ½ of the earnings over the exempt amount. In FRA Year: the benefit is reduced by $1 for every $3 earned prior to the FRA over the full annual exempt amount. If applicable, this reduces the benefits by 1/3 of the earnings over the exempt amount. After FRA, the earnings test is not applied. The ARF is applied upon attainment of FRA for beneficiaries who began receipt of retirement, spouse's, or widow (er)'s benefits early and had earnings in excess of the exempt amount."

"text": "\"December 7, 2017 • 6 min read by Jane Young 23 Comments The loss of a spouse is devastating, and in that situation, the last thing you want to worry about is money. Unfortunately, as a widow or widower, money is often one of the most important things to think about. And Social Security benefits are usually one of the first—and trickiest—financial resources to navigate. To help you wade through these waters, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide to Social Security survivors benefits. The Breakdown of Social Security Benefits If you’re an eligible age and meet other qualifications, Social Security benefits are available to you after your spouse passes away. But it can be tough figuring out if you can receive these benefits and when you should start. Here are some of the main factors that impact how much survivors benefits you’re entitled to: The length of the marriage Your age and your spouse’s age When you want to start receiving benefits Understanding these factors and the rules to which they apply can help you make informed decisions and maximize your benefits payments. The Length of the Marriage Matters In nearly every case, you need to have been married for at least nine months to claim Social Security survivors benefits. However, there are a few exceptions: You share a child. If you were married fewer than nine months but your spouse was the parent of your child, you can claim survivors benefits."

"text": "Best age for Social Security retirement benefits Lance Davis @lrd0015 September 27, 2017 in Retirement Daniel Grill/Getty Images When should you start collecting your Social Security benefits? The key to the answer lies in what is considered your “full retirement age.” It used to be that you could retire “early” by collecting reduced benefits starting at age 62 or you could wait until you were 65. But now, depending on the year you were born, you will not reach your full retirement age until between 65 and 67. People born in 1937 or earlier reach “full retirement age” at 65. From 1938 on, it rises gradually to age 67. You even have an option of delaying your benefits past your full retirement age, thereby locking into an even higher monthly check. If you plan on working during retirement, you may want to delay benefits, as your earnings could negatively affect the amount. However, there are also instances where taking early benefits will most likely pay off. If you start collecting at the earliest opportunity — age 62 — you’ll receive a permanently reduced benefit, but you could make out better overall if you live long enough to offset the reduction."

Duncan Smith — Eugene, Ore.: I have recently become disabled and am receiving Social Security disability benefits (SSDI). I have an adult daughter with Down Syndrome who receives $721 in Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments. Now I have been told that since she is my daughter, instead of SSI, she will have to get SSDI payments based on what I receive. Although this is a little bit more than her SSI, she will lose her current benefits from Section 8 (housing vouchers) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and actually come out negative, compared to if she just received her SSI amount."

Amount of Widow (er)'s Insurance Benefit407.1 How is the widow (er)'s benefit rate computed?

( See § 720 . ) 407.2 When is the benefit rate less?

See §§ 723 - 725 for an explanation of how the reduced rate is computed;You choose to receive and are paid a reduced widow (er)'s benefit for months before you reach retirement age. A reduced benefit rate is payable for as long as you are entitled to widow (er)'s benefits. For a possible adjustment at age 62 and retirement age, see § 728;Note: Entitlement to this reduced rate may result in a reduction in any disability or retirement insurance benefit to which you may later become entitled."

( Getty Images)Financial advisors may have different approaches when it comes to retirement planning, but they seem to agree on one thing: Most people don’t understand how to make the most of Social Security spousal benefits. “There are so many details and different variables,” says Aries Jimenez, director of business development for San Diego Wealth Management. “ People don’t take the time to plan. ”Spousal benefits are one way to maximize what you receive from Social Security. However, financial advisors caution that the money alone shouldn’t dictate how you claim your retirement Security benefits. Here’s what you need to know about spousal benefits. The Basics Spousal benefits allow a husband or wife to receive up to 50 percent of a spouse’s Social Security benefits. These benefits are available even if one spouse has never worked. For married couples, the following criteria must be met: The individual claiming spousal benefits must be age 62 or older."

It's possible that you and your employer together have contributed more than $200,000 into the system on your behalf over time. If you also figure in the time value of money on these contributions, your total contribution to the system could be twice as much. Now the time is approaching to turn the tables and determine what the Social Security Administration (SSA) owes you. ( For background reading, see Introduction To Social Security . ) Anticipating Your Social Security Income Of course, we know two facts: Social Security benefits are not guaranteed, and some changes will be necessary to keep the system solvent in the future, as millions of baby boomers retire and begin to receive their Social Security benefits. While these facts add uncertainty, it's also true that the quality of your retirement depends on your planning - and you must start planning somewhere. A good starting point is to find out the amount of retirement benefits that all your years of Social Security contributions entitle you to under current law. There are three ways to do this: You can visit a local Social Security office to get a record of your taxed Social Security earnings and an estimate of retirement benefits (though it won't take into account future earnings or other changes that could impact your payouts).

"text": "Is a contract signed by a minor valid?by Free Advice staff In all states, the age requirement to sign a contract is 18 years of age. A child under the age of 18 is considered a minor and is unable to sign a contract unless it is for essential items. Essential items include medicines, food, and medical services. Otherwise, the minor child must have a parent or guardian consent to the contract in order for it to be legally binding. If your minor child has signed a contract for a non-essential item without your approval, the contract is not valid. In other words, you can contact the business and have the contract destroyed. Valid contracts are only so if the parent or guardian consented to the contract. Any items that the child purchased on contract would need to be returned. Fortunately, the retailers must return the items regardless of their return policy, since they violated the state’s law in allowing the minor to sign the contract in the first place. If your child is emancipated, meaning the court awarded them adult status while they were still underage, then their contracts are considered valid."

Many people are surprised to learn, whether from an employment contract or employee handbook, that they are an \"\" at-will employee .\"\" This means that your employer can terminate you at any time, for any cause -- with or without notice. An employer has every right to walk up to an at-will employee and say, \"\"I don't like that your favorite color is purple. You're fired.\"\" There are very few, if any, remedies for you, unless your employer did something to violate your employee rights or broke labor laws. All states but one ( Montana) have adopted laws that protect the employer in an at-will setup. That is, the employer does not have to have good cause to terminate your employment. Unless you signed some sort of employment contract that states you cannot be terminated without good cause, it is assumed that you are an at-will employee. Many times, an employer will come right out and say that you are an at-will employee."

"text": "\"INTRODUCTIONEmployee reductions and terminations have been an unfortunate result of the current economic downturn. Even in good economic times, however, businesses of every size carefully assess their operational structures and may sometimes decide to reduce their workforce. Often, employers terminate older employees who are eligible for retirement, or nearly so, because they generally have been with the company the longest and are paid the highest salaries. Other employers evaluate individual employees on criteria such as performance or experience, or decide to lay off all employees in a particular position, division, or department. [ 1] An employer’s decision to terminate or lay off certain employees, while retaining others, may lead discharged workers to believe that they were discriminated against based on their age, race, sex, national origin, religion, or disability. To minimize the risk of potential litigation, many employers offer departing employees money or benefits in exchange for a release (or “waiver”) of liability for all claims connected with the employment relationship, including discrimination claims under the civil rights laws enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) -- the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Equal Pay Act (EPA). [ 2] While it is common for senior-level executives to negotiate severance provisions when initially hired, other employees typically are offered severance agreements and asked to sign a waiver at the time of termination. When presented with a severance agreement, many employees wonder: Is this legal? Should I sign it? This document answers questions that you may have if you are offered a severance agreement in exchange for a waiver of your actual or potential discrimination claims."

A combination of housing, meals, personal care and support, social activities, 24-hour supervision and, in some residences, health-related services is usually provided. Assisted living facilities are a great choice for those who can’t live on their own, but do not need nursing care.

Others go beyond these services and furnish transportation and certain health services. Facilities range from small homes with just a few residents to high-rise apartment-style buildings with hundreds of residents.

Other policies are designed to increase the chance that a pregnancy will result and that the process will be safe for both donor and recipient. Commonly, egg donors must be a certain age, usually 21, and be no more than 30,at the time of donation. You should be 29 when you sign up for the process. The lower limit ensures that a woman can legally enter into a contract. The upper limit reflects the fact that older women respond less well to fertility drugs. There is also a chance that an older woman’s eggs will be abnormal, making pregnancy less likely or increasing the risk of a birth defect."

"text": "If you rent a car in the US, can you add another driver to your contract? In general, yes, you can, but it might cost you – plenty. Not too long ago, you would have expected, perhaps, to pay a fee to add an additional authorized driver to your rental car contract, unless that extra driver happened to be your spouse or domestic partner. Companions of disabled renters were also exempt from additional authorized driver charges. The situation is a little more complicated today. Some rental car companies allow renters to add spouses and domestic partners to their contracts free of charge. Others charge for domestic partners but not spouses or companion drivers. A few rental car companies charge to add even spouses as additional authorized drivers – except in certain states. How to Avoid Paying for Another Driver on Your Rental Car Contract The best way to avoid paying for additional authorized drivers is to do your homework early, well before you go to pick up your rental car. You can get information from the rental car company's website or call a customer service representative, but the answers you receive may not be accurate for your rental location."

Most of these relationships result in \"\"contracts\"\" that have legal consequences. Most contracts don't have to be in writing to be enforceable. The purpose of this summary is to provide an overview of the basic principles of contracts law. What is a Contract? A contract is a legally enforceable agreement between two or more parties. The core of most contracts is a set of mutual promises (in legal terminology, \"\"consideration\"\"). The promises made by the parties define the rights and obligations of the parties. Contracts are enforceable in the courts. If one party meets its contractual obligations and the other party doesn't (\"\"breaches the contract\"\"), the nonbreaching party is entitled to receive relief through the courts."

An adult caregiver is accountable for the child's care and inadequate supervision can be a type of neglect (neglectful supervision).

Other policies are designed to increase the chance that a pregnancy will result and that the process will be safe for both donor and recipient. Commonly, egg donors must be a certain age, usually 21, and be no more than 30,at the time of donation. You should be 29 when you sign up for the process. The lower limit ensures that a woman can legally enter into a contract. The upper limit reflects the fact that older women respond less well to fertility drugs. There is also a chance that an older woman’s eggs will be abnormal, making pregnancy less likely or increasing the risk of a birth defect."

"text": "\"Selling Your Parent's Home When They Have Alzheimer's9 Comments Follow Comments By Lori Johnston It may be your beloved family home, or a house your parents bought and even downsized into after you moved out. Either way, if one of your parents is incapacitated due to Alzheimer's, at some point you or a sibling may need to sell the home, so they can move into a nursing home, assisted living facility or in with you. Elder law attorneys say the sale of a parent's home is an issue they receive inquiries about daily. Here's what caregivers need to know before sticking the \"\"for sale\"\" sign in the yard. Questions and Answers about Selling Your Parent's Home Q: Why can selling a parent's home be such a complicated issue? A: The bottom line is: Only the person who owns the house can transfer the house to a buyer, says Henry Carpenter, a certified elder law attorney with Bucks County Elder Law in Pennsylvania and a member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys. If a parent has become incapacitated, he or she needs to have identified – through a power of attorney – someone who can act on their behalf, for the sale to take place. Q: What rights does a caregiver have to sell their parent's home? A: \"\"If the caregiver has no legal authority, then the caregiver has absolutely no right to sell the home. Period,\"\" says Wesley E. Wright, a certified elder law attorney with Texas-based Wright Abshire Attorneys."

In Alaska, the age of majority is 18. This means that an 18 year old is considered an adult for most legal purposes. An important exception is that an 18 year old does not have the right to possess and consume alcohol, which is legal only for those who have reached the age of 21. Another exception is that persons under the age of 19 are not legally allowed to buy or use tobacco. What restrictions on legal rights apply to minors? Minor is a legal word used to mean a person who has not yet turned 18. Some of the things a minor is not allowed to do are: Vote Join the military Sign contracts Buy or sell real estate Sign a lease to rent a house Serve on a jury Buy and use tobacco or alcohol Get a tattoo A minor needs a parent’s permission to: Get married Go to a doctor or dentist, except in certain circumstances Get a driver’s license Get a body piercing What does emancipation mean? Emancipation is a process that gives a person who is between the ages of 16 and 18, the legal status of an adult for many purposes. An emancipated minor is no longer subject to the authority of a parent or guardian, and has the legal right to do certain things—but not drink alcohol or use tobacco-- that are otherwise prohibited for a person under the age of 18."

Retroviruses are species specific. FIV is in the same family as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which is the cause of AIDS. Because both FIV and HIV are retroviruses, thus only felines can contract FIV and only humans can contract HIV. However, felines tend to weather FIV better than humans weather HIV. In fact, 90% of cats will go on to live out their normal lifespan. This feline virus was first discovered in a California cattery in 1986 when some of the felines were exhibiting the same symptoms humans do with HIV. This doesn't mean that FIV is a new virus. In fact, there is evidence that it has been around long before it was actually discovered. What You Need to Know About Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV)?"

Can they still be carried on their parent's insurance? Answer: State laws vary greatly regarding at what age someone can title a car in their own name. To find out if your state has a minimum age set for placing a car in your name solely and registering it, you need to check with your state's Department of Motor Vehicles or like agency. And yes, if the teen owns the car, he can still be under his parent's insurance policy. In fact, that is recommended because car insurance for young drivers is more expensive when the teen has his own policy. In general, a juvenile/minor cannot enter into a contract so thus cannot be a sole owner of a motor vehicle. A minor typically cannot own property, his or her parents technically own that property until the child becomes an adult. In many states, if a parent will co-sign on a loan for a car, the juvenile can buy a car, but the parent will be the legal owner."

Is it possible to roll over my retirement savings, such as my 401k, IRA, or 403 (b) accounts into an annuity without paying taxes? A. You can roll over your IRA, 401 (k), 403 (b), or lump sum pension payment into an annuity tax-free. Annuities funded with an IRA or 401 (k) rollover are \"\"qualified\"\" plans, enabling an insurance company to create an \"\"IRA annuity\"\", into which you can deposit your retirement funds directly. Additionally, you can have your employer roll over your 401 (k) funds into an annuity without withholding any taxes since no mandatory withholding requirements pertain to funds directly transferred into an annuity by an employer. Q. If I decide to roll over my IRA, 401 (k), or lump sum pension payment into an annuity, will I be hit with a distribution tax? A. NO. The reason you're permitted to roll over these payments into an annuity tax-free is because when you buy an annuity with IRA or 401k money the first thing the insurance company does is create an IRA holding account to receive your transferred funds. So really buying an annuity with IRA money is the same as moving your money from its current IRA or 401k trustee to another IRA trustee. This kind of transaction is considered a \"\"direct transfer\"\" or a \"\"direct rollover\"\" which is tax-free."

It may be difficult for you to track your investments, you are probably paying custodial fees for each IRA, you are probably too diversified that you are not earning a high rate of return. Scenario 1: Your rollover IRA is a traditional IRA. Currently you can only roll your 401k into a traditional IRA."

"text": "Should You Use Your Retirement Money to Pay Student Loans? Michelle Argento Updated on July 28, 2016Advertiser Disclosure With roughly $25,000 in student loan debt, Chris Herding of Portland, Oregon thought he was doing okay for himself. After graduating in 2010 with a degree in computer science, he had managed to find a well-paying job in his field and was chugging along with monthly payments on his loans. That all changed two years later, when Herding’s employers went under, leaving him with just a small severance package and a little information regarding his employee-sponsored 401k plan. Months passed and Herding struggled to keep up with his loan payments, refusing to take the loan deferment to which a job loss entitled him. “I was getting desperate and angry… so when a letter came in from the company holding my 401k, I wanted to make it all go away.” In a self-described “moment of desperation,” Herding researched using his 401k to pay off debt and cashed out almost all of his $40,000 savings. In two months’ time, Herding found himself free of student loan debt and the monthly burden of his loans off of his back. Herding’s story is not unique. Many recent graduates are now more and more concerned about carrying large student loan debts for long periods of time."

Miller Last updated: January 2, 2018 46 Comments401K Employer Maximum Contributions I’d like to clear up a very common 401K misconception surrounding maximum contribution limits. Question: The individual IRS maximum 401K contribution limit is $18,500 for 2018. But what exactly does this mean? Does this mean that if my employer matches my contribution dollar-for-dollar that I can only contribute half of the maximum? Answer: No. The IRS maximum 401K contribution is how much you can personally contribute to your 401K during the year. Your employer’s maximum 401K contribution limit is entirely up to them – but the max on total contributions (employee plus employer) to your 401K is $55,000 in 2018 (or 100% of your salary, whichever is less). Technically, this means that your employer could contribute up to $36,500 in 2018, if they wanted to, and it would not count against your personal contribution maximum.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A Solo 401 (k), (also known as a Self Employed 401 (k) or Individual 401 (k)), is a 401 (k) qualified retirement plan for Americans that was designed specifically for employers with no full-time employees other than the business owner (s) and their spouse (s). The general 401 (k) plan gives employees an incentive to save for retirement by allowing them to designate funds as 401 (k) funds and thus not have to pay taxes on them until the employee reaches retirement age. In this plan, both the employee and his/her employer may make contributions to the plan. The Solo 401 (k) is unique because it only covers the business owner (s) and their spouse (s), thus, not subjecting the 401 (k) plan to the complex ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974) rules, which sets minimum standards for employer pension plans with non-owner employees. Self-employed workers who qualify for the Solo 401 (k) can receive the same tax benefits as in a general 401 (k) plan, but without the employer being subject to the complexities of ERISA. Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Qualifications3 Types4 Contribution Limits5 Tax Implications6 Differences between a Solo 401 (k) and a SEP IRA7 See also8 References History [ edit]Prior to 2001, self-employed workers were limited to a profit sharing retirement plan that did not include any employee deferral options in contrast to a multiple employer 401 (k) Plan. There existed a retirement platform unique to self-employed workers, the SEP IRA and the Keogh Plan, but it lacked many of the benefits of the typical corporate 401 (k) platform, such as employee deferral. Congress remedied this situation in 2001 with the passing of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act (EGTRRA). [ 1] Although EGTRRA was primarily known for its tax reductions, it also amended tax law to allow for self-employed individuals to access a 401 (k) style retirement platform. [ 2] This platform became popularly known as the Solo 401 (k)."

"text": "What Is a Roth Federal Thrift Savings Plan (TSP)By Pat SPosted in: Retirement Share 2 Tweet Pin Comments 4The U. S. Federal Government’s Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) is a deferred contribution retirement plan for Federal employees. The TSP is administered by the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board, an independent government agency, for the benefit of civilian Federal employees as well as active duty and reserve military members. The TSP offers similar savings and tax benefits to a traditional 401k plan. You can contribute up to $16,500 of pre-tax income if you are under the age of 50, or $22,000 if you are 50 or older. The amount you contribute plus any matching funds deposited by the government accumulate tax-free until you withdraw funds during retirement (defined as age 59 1/2 for tax purposes). At this point, the entire withdrawal is taxed as ordinary income. However, some employees prefer the Roth model, where contributions are taxed, but withdrawals are tax-free. Fortunately for these investors, a new retirement option is soon becoming available to Federal employees called the Roth TSP. The Roth 401k Over the past few years, more and more employer-sponsored retirement plans have begun to offer a Roth 401k option as an alternative to the traditional tax-deferred 401k plan. Unlike the traditional 401k, the Roth alternative allows investors to contribute after-tax income to the fund."

"text": "The 401k Loan: How to Borrow Money From Your Retirement Plan and What You Need to Know By Jeremy Vohwinkle 140 Comments Tweet The 401k Loan May Have Benefits, but it Isn’t Without Pitfalls Roughly 75% of 401k plans have a loan provision. This is good news for participants who find themselves in a bind and need quick access to some cash, but it also potentially puts a lot of retirement nest eggs at risk. In fact, about 30% of employees who have the ability to take a loan from their 401k plan have done so and currently have an outstanding loan balance. This number picked up a bit during the economic downturn as people found themselves in difficult situations and in need of a little extra money. In an ideal world we’d leave our retirement plans alone, rely on our emergency fund in a time of need, and continue adding the maximum 401k contribution. But let’s face it, life happens. As much as we try to plan ahead and put money aside for that very reason there are times when that just isn’t possible or those funds aren’t sufficient to cover a major crisis. So, having the ability to tap into your 401k a little early may be your saving grace. Unfortunately, it isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Taking a loan against your 401k may have devastating consequences if you’re not careful and the decision to borrow from your retirement nest egg should not be taken lightly.401k Loan Basics While each plan may set their own specific loan features and restrictions there are a number of similarities."

Update: my puppy is a toy poodle Follow 12 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: You can start taking your puppy to the groomer at about 12 weeks of age. Do not take your puppy anyplace until he has had all his vaccinations. That includes parks. At 12 weeks they should have all their shots, you can also have their rabie shot at 12 weeks. Source (s): Pomeranian and Bichon breeder Anonymous · 1 decade ago3 0 Comment Asker's rating You can take your puppy to the groomer as soon as he has had all of his vaccines. This is for the protection of other dogs as well as yours. Your dog has not been vaccinated for Rabies yet, and that can be dangerous for other dogs. Your dog is still susceptible to parvo and worms and a couple of other not so common K9 contagious diseases, or it is better for all to just wait> And b4 you take your puppy for his 12 week shots I would call the groomer that I want to use and see if she requires any additional vaccinations, or proof of vaccinations for that matter, so when you get there, you aren't turned away for being unprepared! ** Also, as a owner of multiple long coated pets let me say that a good groomer is key, it is a very dramaticf experiance for the puppy the first few times, and I will also tell you to start them out grooming young, and have them groomed regularly so they don't fight it when they are older."

The Rottweiler descends from dogs used by the Romans to drive the herds of cattle that fed the army as it marched through Europe. The Rottweiler is one of the more recognizable breeds with his large head, solidly muscled body, and distinctively handsome black-and-tan markings. He is intelligent, strong, and loyal. His fans seem to fall into two camps: Those who consider their dogs to be large but gentle love bugs, and those who wish their dogs to be anything but. News stories of killer Rotties in the hands of inexperienced or less-than-savory owners have turned many people off the bad-to-the-bone dogs, but reputable breeders are picking up the pieces and restoring the reputation of the breed. A word to the wise: Don’t underestimate this dog’s power and protectiveness."

The Disney adventure movie “Eight Below” is based on the true story of the 1957 Japanese expedition to the South Pole and stars six Siberian Huskies. Not every breed made its American debut with as big a splash as the Siberian Husky. A team of these lean, fast sled dogs, originally developed by the seminomadic Chukchi people of Northeastern Asia to pull sleds over long distances, proved just what they were made of while racing across the frozen Alaskan wilderness to deliver life-saving diphtheria serum to remote Nome, Alaska, in January 1925. Some of the dogs were taken on a tour of the Lower 48 after news of the courageous men and dogs spread, and they were met with wild acclaim. From that day on, the Siberian has been popular. For those looking for a calm dog to settle with on the couch in the evenings and maybe enjoy a short stroll around the block a few times a week, the Siberian Husky isn’t a match."

The breed originates from northern Italy and is registered with The Kennel Club in the toy group. They are known for their intelligence, their loyalty and the fact they are extremely adaptable being just at home living in a big house in the country as they are in a smaller flat in town. The Bolognese is an energetic dog and as such enjoy being taken out of plenty of interesting walks although they are not overly demanding on the exercise front. They adore being part of a family and being included in everything that goes on in a household although a Bolognese is better suited to households with older children rather than toddlers. History It is thought that the Bolognese is a descendant of the Bichon Frise, a breed that hails from Malta and southern Italy."

There is no upper limit for the height of the Old English Sheepdog. Females are typically 21 inches and up, males 22 inches and up. That’s because sheep varied in size, so the dogs used to herd them also varied in size. When you first look at an Old English Sheepdog, the hair is what you notice most, but when you live with one, it is the personality that stands out. On the surface, the Old English is a silly charmer, but underneath his shaggy coat lurks an independent thinker. The Old English has evolved from a multipurpose farm dog to a companion and show dog without losing the strong herding instinct that made him the sheep-raising farmer’s best friend in the 19th century.

Adult drivers permit holders have only one requirement that needs to be observed and that is no driving alone, while teenage drivers have to observe a large number of other permit restrictions, including cell phone, passenger and curfew limitations. These permit rules were set to discourage drivers from committing the most common mistakes and help them to avoid being involved in a traffic accident. Who Needs Learners Permit Restrictions If you just got your Washington learners permit, you are probably wondering why you need to observe these restrictions that may seem kind of pointless to you. The motive behind forcing these restrictions onto you is the fact that as a new driver, you don't have any driving experience whatsoever. And this makes you dangerous, not only to yourself, but to others around you. You have neither the knowledge to prevent a potentially dangerous situation, nor the skills to deal with it, which makes you a likely cause of a traffic accident, in which you may hurt yourself, another driver or a pedestrian. This is even more true when it comes to teenage drivers. Statistics show us that teenage drivers are much more likely to have a traffic accident than drivers of any other age group. Teenage drivers are frequently unable to predict the consequences of their actions, which may lead to a disaster."

In order to assure that all drivers in the state are aware of traffic laws, rules of the road and road signs to avoid accidents, anyone wishing to operate a motor vehicle must first obtain a license. This can be done at your local Driver and Vehicle Services office. Which License is for you? A provisional driver’s license is specifically for minor drivers under the graduated license program; you must be 16 years old and completed all previous requirements. A Class D DMVCheat Sheets.com license is the average license obtained in the state by individuals wishing to operate a motor vehicle for personal use.

At the moment, teenagers are required to complete at least 50 hours of driving before they can make an appointment for their drivers license test, but this is just the minimum, no one says you can't do more than that. Adult drivers should follow the same recommendation. Remember: the more you practice now, the easier it will be for you to pass your 2013 Ohio driving test at the BMV.

"text": "Alaska Learners Permit Restrictions - AK Driving Permit Rules Alaska Permit Restrictions Every first time drivers license applicant in Alaska has to apply for an Alaska learners permit first. A learners permit allows you to start practicing driving, but it does not grant you full driving privileges and carries a number of learners permit restrictions you need to observe at all times. Supervised driving only, curfew and mandatory seat belts - these are just some of the Alaska permit restrictions. Although these restrictions and limitations may seem as a nuisance to you right now, you must understand that they were created for your own protection and are there to keep you safe during your first hours of driving. If you are wondering why do you even have to apply for an Alaska learners permit and can't apply for a drivers license right away, there is a simple answer to that. It was found that lack of driving experience underlies a very large portion of traffic accidents and introduction of a learners permit stage is an attempt to lower your risk of being involved in an accident during your first months of driving. A learners permit gives you the chance to practice driving while there is a more experiences driver seated next to you. The supervising driver can help you with advice or take control of the vehicle should the situation become dire. Permit Restrictions - 18 Years of Age and Older If you are at least 18 years of age, there are not that many Alaska permit restrictions for you to follow. The only real limitation to your permit is that you cannot drive unless there is another driver at least 21 years of age seated next to you while you are practicing."

To apply for a learner permit you must be able to demonstrate that you are normally resident in Ireland; this generally means that you live here at least 185 days each calendar year because of work or personal ties. If you are studying or working abroad you may still be considered normally resident in Ireland provided you return here regularly. Where a person lives some part of the year outside of Ireland the question of personal, family and community ties helps determine whether or not you are normally resident. You can apply to renew a learner permit up to three months before the expiry date of your learner permit. If your licence has expired for five years or more you must start the application process afresh and take a driver theory test, mandatory driving lessons and a driving test. If you are an applicant for a learner permit you will be required to verify your identity as part of the face to face application process in an NDLS centre. This means that you will have to submit documentation to prove your identity, your address & your PPSN, as well as confirmation of your country of birth/residency entitlement Period of a learner permit A first and second learner permit usually lasts for two years each time while a third and subsequent permit lasts for one year.

While it may go by various names — drivers permit, learners permit, learners license — this simple piece of paper can mean the world to a new driver. It allows you to get behind the wheel with a licensed driver and practice the act of driving, preparing you for the challenges you’ll face once you’re on the road on your own. In order to obtain a learners permit, teen drivers are required to pass a written test. Typically they will prepare for this exam by completing a drivers education course. Though not a requirement in all states, drivers ed is the easiest way to be thoroughly prepared for the complicated driving laws and scenarios you’ll face on the permit exam. Once you pass your permit test and earn a permit, there may still be certain restrictions attached to this provisional license — such as requiring a licensed driver over a certain age to be seated in the passenger seat, limiting your driving to daylight hours, and other state-mandated rules. General United States Permit Requirements While each state has its own set of guidelines, in general, teens between 14 and 18 years of age can start the drivers education and learners permit process. Once a teen driver has obtained a learners permit, there are additional state-specific requirements they must meet before they can apply for their drivers license. Before obtaining a learners permit in any state, a teenager is required to pass a driving knowledge test."

Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: A young chicken is called a chick. A male chicken is a cock or a cockerel, depending on its age. Similarly, a female chicken is called a pullet or a hen. The age at which a pullet becomes a hen and a cockerel becomes a cock depends on what type of chicken is being raised. Purebred poultry producers have very age-specific definitions. A chicken is a cockerel or pullet if it is less than one year of age."

However, the only good broiler breeder egg is a fertilized egg. Fertility, the percentage of eggs laid that are fertilized, is very important in poultry production. If an egg is not fertilized, then, of course, it will not contain an embryo and will not hatch. Simply put, \"\"Hatchability can never be better than fertility.\"\" Hatchability is around eight percentage points lower than fertility because many chick embryos are usually lost during incubation. For example, even if 93 percent of the eggs laid are fertilized, then under normal incubation conditions only 85 percent of the eggs will hatch. This example illustrates how fertility must be very good to get above average hatchability and hatch bonus pay. Breeders need to be kept under ideal conditions for maximum life of flock fertility. The chicken's reproductive system is very sensitive to the bird's environment, and under poor conditions the reproductive system will dwindle."

"text": "Keeping Chickens Identifying The Age Chickens“My chicken venture recently started when I was given two pairs of chickens, a Rhode Island Red pair and a white Cochin pair. Any chance I can tell the age of them?” ~ Janelle Burnett Hi Janelle, thanks for the question. It can be difficult to tell the age of a chicken but there are a few indicators to help give you an idea. The condition of your chickens’ shanks may help you determine their ages. A younger chicken will have smooth shanks, an older bird will have rougher and larger shanks. The easiest way to tell the age of a rooster is by the length of his spurs as smaller spurs would indicate a cockerel (a male under 1 year of age.) The challenge is that if the spurs have been removed from a mature rooster, they will be small too. The age at which a rooster crows is not a good indicator because some will try to start crowning as early as a few weeks of age, others will wait until they are 6 months to start and some never crow at all. The indicators for aging hens may be a little more accurate, and since you received your birds in pairs I’m assuming the male and female are similar in age."

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

"text": "\"Categories: All > Chicken Facts All Q: At what age does a rooster begin crowing? A: The age a rooster will first crow varies, but generally speaking, he will begin crowing at about four or five months of age, at about the time he begins to look like a mature rooster. It can certainly vary considerably, though. We've seen roosters hold off crowing until they're eight or nine months old, and we've seen them start as early as two months. ( Talk about cute!) That said, if you have a crowing bird that is younger than three months old, don't be in a hurry to find a home for \"\"him,\"\" however. Hens can crow, too, so you will want to wait until your bird is about three months old to be sure. At that time, you should be able to see the difference in feather shape between hen and rooster (see how to tell if your juvenile bird is a rooster by feather shape, in the related questions below for more information on this.) We hear from people every year who have given away their \"\"roosters,\"\" only to later find out that \"\"he\"\" turned out to be a great layer!

"text": "How to Sex Chickens: Male or Female, Hen or Rooster? Print Page A re you wondering how to tell the sex of your chicks or older chickens? The question of gender is important to many chicken keepers for a variety of reasons, most commonly because roosters are either not allowed in the neighborhood or not needed in a backyard flock. In this article, we’ll look at a variety of chicken sexing methods that make it possible to determine the gender of chickens at various ages. My goal is to give you some basic tools to learn to distinguish male chicks from female chicks, cockerels from pullets and roosters from hens. Ready to learn how to sex chickens? Let’s go!Throughout this discussion, please bear in mind the obvious: there are only two possible outcomes of any sexing technique: male or female, so the probability of any sexing technique, trick or method being correct is always 50-50. So, while you may read or hear claims about various methods that “always work for me,” ANY method has a shot at being right half the time. Better to flip a coin than to invest much credence in most of the old wives’ tales. When purchasing chickens from a hatchery or feed store, remember that even chicks being sold as female (aka: sexed, pullets) risk being male."

Answer by Tanswer Confidence votes 23\"\"Snuff the Rooster\"\" is an old expression meaning to extract a rooster from a hen house. Roosters are very territorial birds and highly protective of hens. Farmers use to try to keep their rooster (s) separate from their hens and the hen house, unless, of course, the farmers wanted breed the birds. If the rooster got into the hen house then they were difficult to get out because they would become aggressive due to all the hens being around. In order to get the rooster out of the hen house farmers would first remove all the hens and then fill the hen house with smoke. The rooster would begin snuffing the smoke and would eventually leave the hen house. Whenever a rooster would get in the hen house farmers would tell each other it was time to snuff the rooster and that's how the expression \"\"Snuff the Rooster\"\" came about.

Flea treatment for kittens, however, must be SAFE! In simple terms, fleas use the kitten's blood to ripen their eggs and anemia results more quickly in a kitten's small body than in an adult cat or dog, although I have seen many adult cats with severe anemia from fleas. Kittens with fleas also develop tapeworm because fleas are the hosts for tapeworms meaning that fleas play a necessary role in the life cycle and reproduction of a certain type of tapeworm. Briefly, the adult form of the tapeworm Dipylidium caninum lives in the cat's intestines. Eggs are passed in the cat's feces. An immature form of a flea eats the tapeworm eggs. The eggs develop into immature forms of tapeworms while inside the flea. When a cat eats the flea while grooming or biting/licking an itchy area, the immature form of the tapeworm is released from the flea. This immature tapeworm develops into an adult while in the cat's intestine and the life cycle is completed."

There are many brands to choose from and many manufacturers make specific kitten food.

Check the packaging for wording such as 'Total nutritional requirements for cats and kittens'.

Most infected cats do not show signs of having worms; however, heavy burdens of worms can cause weight loss, vomiting and diarrhoea, irritation around the anus and failure to thrive. Importantly, while worms can sometimes cause problems for the cat itself, some worms can also be passed on to humans and on rare occasions can be a cause of serious human disease. For these reasons, regular treatment of cats and kittens to prevent or eliminate worms is very important. Types of worms Roundworms Intestinal roundworms are the most common intestinal parasites in cats and occur in cats of all ages throughout the world. The two common roundworms of cats are called, Toxocara cati and Toxascaris leonina. Eggs from these worms are passed in the faeces and can remain viable in the environment for several years. These eggs can infect other cats in two ways. First, a cat may eat (ingest) eggs directly from a contaminated environment. Second, if another animal eats the eggs (eg, a mouse or rat), these can act as ‘intermediate hosts’ and pass on the infection to a cat if it preys on (and eats) the infected intermediate host."

If you have fleas in your carpets, one of the best remedies that is non toxic to your pets can be regular table salt, it causes great irritation of the fleas, and dehydrates them so they cannot live. Sometimes if you live near the ocean maybe salt water would help temporarily for fleas on a dog or cat? Now IF the animal can be kept out of the area, I can recommend a formula of RAID that specifies that it also kills the eggs of the fleas, the last time I bought any of it, it was in a dark purple can and had all kinds of warnings on it! IT SAYS ON THE CAN THAT IT WILL KILL THE EGGS IF YOU TREAT YOUR CARPETS WITH IT. BUT...if it leaves behind enough poison to kill flea eggs then it may also leave down enough poisons to be absorbed through your skin or your animals' feet. Perhaps you could find an organic material that will help kill the fleas off (if they ever become a problem)... I do know that they do not like table salt because it causes them to dry out and die! Fleas like most critters cannot live without moisture! Good luck with your kitty, teach it to love rats while it is young, we are taking over the world, and I want to improve Cat/Rat relations in this country and Internationally."

However there are a few things that need to be considered before making one part of your family... Bringing your new kitten home Firstly make sure you check for any potential hazards, make sure that all the windows and doors to the outside are closed, and that any nooks and crannies are blocked off. Kittens are extremely inquisitive and can easily find themselves lost or stuck in the most unlikely places, so it’s important to supervise them as much as possible until they are really familiar with their new home. Kittens are naturally hygienic and will prefer to have their litter away from their food and water bowls. Cats also prefer to drink at a separate location to where they eat, so you might want to consider placing their water bowl away from their food dish. Provide them with a small cosy bed (although don’t be surprised if they make their own minds up about where they would like to sleep!). On the first few nights a warm (not hot) water bottle under a blanket may help compensate for the absence of the kitten’s mother or littermates. When you’re a tiny little kitten the world can be an enormous place so to help them get familiar with where they feed, drink, sleep and where they go to the loo, it’s a really good idea to start them off in just one room. This will be particularly useful with regards to housetraining as once the habit of using the litter tray is strong, they will seek it out when they have access to the rest of your home."

In the case of feral cats, the kittens may have been taken from the mother for taming. Kittens should not be taken from the mother before 5 to 6 weeks of age if possible. ( For wild kittens you may want to take them away from the mother at 4 weeks to tame them. As they get older, taming gets progressively harder.) The longer the mother cat is able to feed the kittens the better since young kittens need mother's milk for best nutrition as well as important antibodies. This passive immunity usually lasts until the kittens are 6-14 weeks of age. Since orphans have no such protection, they are especially vulnerable to disease."

Cat scratch fever, also called cat scratch disease (CSD), is a bacterial infection. The disease gets its name because people contract it from cats infected with Bartonella henselae bacteria. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 12,000 people will be diagnosed with cat scratch fever, and 500 people will be hospitalized each year in the United States. Cases surge both in January — possibly due to increased adoptions of kittens — and in the period between August and November. Causes What causes cat scratch fever? You can get cat scratch fever from a bite or scratch from an infected cat. You can also get the disease if saliva from an infected cat gets into an open wound or touches the whites of your eyes.

Fleas have seemed to explode in numbers and there are huge efforts aimed at controlling them. Ticks can transmit a number of diseases, so tick control is also receiving more attention. Today's insecticides for pets have made great advancements and a wide array of different compounds have been formulated. The goal of this article is to explain some of the common, active ingredients listed on the labels of various flea and tick control shampoos, dips, sprays, powders, foggers, etc. We have included a table at the end of the article to help summarize the information on those flea and tick control products used on dogs and cats. Note: For completeness, information on ingredients that should not be used in cats but are found in products for dogs (e.g., permethrin and amitraz) are included in this article. Pyrethrins Pyrethrins are one of the most widely used insecticides in today's flea and tick products and have been used as insecticides for over 100 years. Pyrethrins are natural extracts made from flowers of chrysanthemum plants. These plants grow naturally in the Middle East, Europe, Japan, and most importantly, Kenya."

Colette Dear Colette, Female cats in heat are induced ovulators, meaning that they do not release an egg until after the act of mating is finished. So if this was the first encounter for your cat, a pregnancy is unlikely. In addition, female cats' heat cycles stop upon their being impregnated, which of course is the successful fertilization of a female's eggs with a tomcat's sperm (which can take a while)."

Activyl can be used for both dogs and cats, and kills not only adult fleas, but also flea eggs and larvae too; thereby, breaking the flea's lifecycle. For: Dogs and Cats 8 weeks of age or older Benefits: New technology for flea control Kills fleas, flea eggs and larvae Breaks flea's lifecycle Quick-drying and fragrance free Waterproof even after bathing Activyl works to break the flea's lifecycle by killing not only adult fleas, but also flea eggs and larvae, which reduces the chances of your pet becoming reinfested. Activyl is spread through your pet's skin and coat. When a flea lands on your pet, it takes up the active ingredient of Activyl and causes the enzymes in the flea to change. Activyl then reaches its full active form and the flea becomes paralyzed and unable to feed."

During the menstrual cycle, a woman’s body expels blood and tissues that have accumulated along the walls of her uterus. Typically lasting three to seven days, a woman’s period generally occurs once every month until she reaches late adulthood. Many girls wonder if they can still go swimming during a menstrual cycle. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Get in the Swim To answer the question quite simply, yes, you absolutely can go swimming during your menstrual cycle. In fact, your period really should not stop you from doing any activity. Some women even have sexual intercourse during menstruation; although the activity might get a bit messy, it is perfectly safe. Whether you are swimming in gym class, as part of a club or simply for fun, your menstrual cycle should not stop you from jumping in the pool. Be Prepared for Action That said, you must use the proper supplies while swimming during your period. Be sure to tuck extra tampons or a menstrual cup in your swim bag."

Tips on Swimming On Your Period You can’t wear a pad Pads absorb liquids and that includes the pool water. Even if you wear an ultra-thin pad and wear shorts to cover it, a pad in the water will poof up and won’t absorb your period. You can swim on your period when you wear a tampon Tampons are worn inside your body to absorb your period before it leaves your body. When you change your tampon, you may find that your tampon is a little wet at the bottom closer to the string. This is because a tiny bit of pool water enters your vagina when you go swimming. That’s completely normal and your tampon just absorbs it.

It’s normal to feel nervous, especially if you have any unanswered questions about tampons. What are tampons and how do they work? Tampons, like pads, are products used to absorb your menstrual flow. They are made of soft cotton pressed together to form a cylinder-like shape, so that they can be easily inserted into the opening of the vagina. A tampon absorbs your menstrual flow, or blood, before it has a chance to leave the body. Tampons come in all different sizes and absorbencies.

There is much more in a vagina than just blood even during menstruation, those secretions are important and should not be absorbed.

"text": "Tweens Growth & Development Should Tween Girls Use Tampons? Tampons Are an Option If Your Daughter Is Ready to Use Them By Jennifer O'Donnell Updated November 02, 2017Share Pin Email Print Nancy R. Cohen/Photodisc/Getty Images When tween girls learn about menstruation, they may ask questions about pads, and whether or not they can use tampons. While many preteens girls opt for menstruation pads when they first get their periods, some may prefer to use tampons instead. Girls who are active in sports, or want to swim at summer camp, may worry that menstrual pads will interfere with their activities. Deciding whether or not a girl can use tampons depends on two things: is she responsible enough to use tampons safely and is she OK with idea of using them in the first place? If your tween is asking about using tampons, she probably already knows a bit about using them and may be ready to give them a try. How Tampons Work Tampons are used by girls and women to provide protection when they are menstruating. Tampons are cylinder-shaped or oblong and are made of compacted, soft, cotton-like material. The walls of the vagina hold the tampon in place, and a string attached to the bottom of the tampon is used to remove the tampon when it's absorbed or for when it's time for a replacement. Many girls are turned off by the thought of using tampons, and those girls probably shouldn't use tampons until they are emotionally ready to do so."

It will keep you feeling and smelling fresh, and once you get the hang of it, it is really no big deal. Steps1 Remove your pad, tampon (optional) or menstrual cup (optional). Showering without any feminine hygiene products may be scary or seem gross if you’re not used to it, but there’s nothing wrong with it. Equally, it's okay to take a shower wearing a tampon or menstrual cup. The menstrual fluid will just go down the drain, and even if the bleeding seems shocking at first (the water will make it look like there’s more than there really is), it should clear up after the initial rush. Consider showering this way to give your body a blessed break from wearing tampons that can cause TSS (toxic shock syndrome) through bacterial infection or bulky pads. Dispose of the tampon or pad before stepping into the shower (you may even want to stand inside the shower while doing this if the trash can is within arm’s reach). If you are showering during gym or in another public place, you will probably want to continue using a tampon or menstrual cup. If you prefer pads to insertable products, you will have to either make an exception while showering, allow yourself to bleed in the shower, or exempt yourself from the shower (talk to your gym teacher if necessary).2 When you begin your shower, thoroughly rinse your privates with water."

Many of us still remember the line “Do you ever get that not-so-fresh feeling?” from a douche commercial years ago that made many a woman begin doubting their vaginal cleanliness at a very young age. The truth is that most women’s natural scent is normal. Your vagina doesn’t need to smell like that field of flowers on the box of feminine deodorant spray. Why does the vagina smell? The vagina is a carefully balanced ecosystem of fluid (discharge) and bacteria meant to keep the vaginal PH at a healthy 4.5. This combination of fluid and bacteria that make up the vaginal discharge that can, at times, emit certain odors. Most of these odors are natural and normal, but there are times when excess odor can signal a problem."

"text": "Derek Jeter Executive, Entrepreneur, Philanthropist and former New York Yankees Captain By the time he stepped away from baseball in 2014 after a historic 20-year career, Derek Jeter had established himself as one of the most respected men to ever have played the game. With a reputation as an unmatched leader both on and off the field, Jeter has quickly transitioned into a second career leading a variety of successful business ventures and entrepreneurial investments. Most recently, he became part-owner of MLBs Miami Marlins, for whom he also now serves as CEO, overseeing the day-to-day for both the business and baseball operations for the team. He is the first African-American to serve in this role for any major league team in the history of the sport. Jeter is also the founder of The Players Tribune, an innovative multimedia company where world-class athletes share their honest and unique perspectives, bringing fans closer to the games they love. In November 2013, Jeter and Simon & Schuster announced the Jeter Publishing imprint, which includes both adult and childrens books verticals. The first booked released, The Contract, debuted at #2 on The New York Times Childrens Middle Grade Best Seller list. In October 2014, the imprint released a full-color photo book called Jeter Unfiltered, also a Best Seller, providing fans an in-depth look at his life through never-before-published images taken over the course of his final season. He also serves as Partner and Brand Development Officer of Luvo, a transformational lifestyle food brand where he is involved in product development, brand awareness and strategic partnerships. Jeter continues to be the driving force behind the Turn 2 Foundation, which he established in 1996 to give back to the communities with which he has a close connection, including West Michigan, Tampa and New York City."

"text": "After stellar Yankee career, Derek Jeter still has it going on off the field BY Christian Red NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Sunday, May 14, 2017, 11:00 AMfacebook Tweet email Derek Jeter's career is only entering its second act as a businessman. ( Andrew Theodorakis/ for New York Daily News)Jennifer Steinbrenner Swindal had a front row seat to Derek Jeter’s playing career, a stretch that began in 1992 when the Bombers drafted the shortstop with the sixth overall pick, and which lasted through the 2014 season, Jeter’s last in pinstripes. What still impresses Swindal to this day, is thinking back to the Yankee captain’s path through the team’s farm system and into his rookie season, 1996, when he led the Bombers to their 23rd World Series title. Even then, says Swindal, Jeter understood the Yankee brand, and he understood the importance of respect toward the team’s then owner, Swindal’s late father, George Steinbrenner. “I’ve always said — Derek is the pride of the Yankees of our generation, on and off the field. He’s been amazing. He’s given back to the world. He’s been respectful of fans. He’s been respectful of his teammates. He’s been respectful of my father and our family, and most importantly, the Yankee logo,” says Swindal."

"text": "Home Celebs Derek Jeter Derek Jeter Retired baseball player Derek Jeter was born on June 26, 1974 in Pequannock Township, New Jersey to a biracial couple. His mom, Dorothy, is white and his dad, Charles, is black. Jeter has a sister, Sharlee. The Jeter family moved to Kalamazoo, Michigan when he was four, but he grew up as a New York Yankees fan and set the goal at a young age that he would play for the team. He was drafted straight out of Central High School and spent the entirety of his 20-year MLB career as the shortstop for the Yankees, winning five World Series Championships in pinstripes and serving as the club’s captain. Jeter retired in 2014 and his number two jersey was retired in 2017. He was given a plaque in Monument Park. Jeter also won the Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year Award in 2009. Since retiring, Jeter has remained busy with business, entrepreneurial, and philanthropic endeavors. He is a part-owner and CEO of the Miami Marlins, founder of multimedia company The Players Tribune, and partner and brand development officer for food brand Luvo."

The topic was Greensboro, N. C., in 1993. He was a 19-year-old shortstop prospect who had committed so many errors – a whopping 56 of them that summer – that the poor official scorer, a great guy name Ogi, would consider each one with the tortured deliberations of a jury in a death penalty case before muttering into the microphone. “E-6.”I was sitting next to Ogi a lot that summer.

"text": "\"Philo T. Farnsworth, 14-year-old Inventor of Television Fri, 09/09/2011 - 8:36am Eighty-four years ago, the first known video transmission was made from an idea conceived by a child who was only 14 years old. August marks the birth of the man known as the Father of Television, Philo T. Farnsworth, and it seems fitting to tell a bit of his tale. Was he a child prodigy? Or just a visionary with the drive to make something of his vision? Growing up in a home without electricity, one can imagine he might have often had power sources on his mind. Born 105 years ago in 1906, its an interesting fact that as popular and worldwide his invention has become, hes not very well-known at all, and in fact, he lived his life in obscurity and died nearly penniless. Farnsworth came up with the idea of picture transmission when he was 14 years old* and showed his chemistry teacher sketches for a vacuum tube that would electronically copy images on a screen, one line at a time. His first transmission was a 60-horizontal line image of a dollar bill and he subsequently applied for and earned the patent for an all-electronic TV in 1927. Electronics engineers at the time were testing other methods of transmitting images using spinning discs. In the 1930s,engineers at RCA (Radio Corporation of America) were in the process of inventing a different type of television using a cathode tube."

Reporter Jenny Gold notes one of the problems: GOLD: This isn’t the first time hospitals have gone doctor shopping. In the 1990s, hospitals bought up as many practices as possible. Dr. Bill Jessee is the president of the Medical Group Management Association. He remembers the ’90s as something of a disaster.

As new technologies have emerged, artists have integrated photography, film, radio, television, computers and the Internet into their artistic practices. Created during diverse historical periods, the components of the artworks illustrate an integral aspect of our relationship with technology and its evolution. Timeline The development of media art has been influenced by both technological advancements and 20 th century avant-garde art movements that sought new ways of making, viewing and understanding art. By situating major technological and artistic influences, this abridged timeline traces the roots of media art from the 1830s to the present day.19 th Century1830s British mechanical engineer and mathematician Charles Babbage (1791 – 1871) invents the analytical engine, a precursor to the modern day computer. Using punch cards, it is able to calculate numerical data. 1French artist and chemist Louis Daguerre (1787 – 1851) develops the daguerreotype, an early form of photography."

You may have had some smart ideas and probably some really dumb ideas, but nothing every really followed you into the future. However, there were some kids who decided to spend their childhoods coming up with ideas for devices that would eventually change the world.10 Robert Patch Toy Truck Photo credit: APWhat would your childhood have been without toy trucks? Boy or girl, plastic or wood, chances are you’ve had some experience with these tiny vehicles. At age five in Chevy Chase, Maryland, Robert Patch decided he wanted a toy to play with that could easily be assembled and disassembled by a child. He wanted the toy to be able to change into different types of trucks. For example, it could be a dump truck but easily change into a semi-truck. He created his original prototype out of a shoebox, bottle caps, and nails. Conveniently, his father was a patent attorney, so he applied for a patent at the age of five, before he even knew how to sign his name.9 Ralph Samuelson Waterskiing Photo credit: Scinauticando.com In the summer of 1922, 18-year-old Minnesotan Ralph Samuelson decided to have some fun with his brother while boating on Lake Pepin in Lake City, Minnesota. He and his brother wanted to know why you couldn’t ski on water just like in the snow."

Two years later in 1927 he showed the \"\"phonovision\"\" system of recording TV. Designs and patents for electro-mechanical television systems had been proposed as early as 1884 by German student Paul Gottlieb Nipkow but never built. It was this invention, the Nipkow disc, that Baird used for his televisor. An all-electronic moving-image television system somewhat similar to that used today was invented and demonstrated in 1929 by Philo Farnsworth. In the same year, the BBC in London began the first television broadcasts available to the public. They used Baird's Televisor system which remained in use until 1936 when the BBC moved to an all electronic higher definition system. Television broadcasts were halted in 1939 at the start of World War II, the same year that RCA began their broadcasts in the US, representing the start of publicly available television in North America. In 1946, scientists at the laboratories of the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) developed the Image Orthocon Tube, a far more sensitive light sensor than previous cameras used. The new tube made production far easier and effective."

Answer by Greenlight Automation Confidence votes 16.4KThe first video cameras were produced in the 1920s in support of the early television systems. John Logie Baird built a camera as part of his television system demonstrated in 1925. Philo Farnsworth made a fully electronic camera that was demonstrated in 1929. The video camera, or television camera, is a fundamental part of television so cameras have been around for as long as television has existed. Color cameras were developed and trialled in the 1950s and were used commercially in 1954 by RCA when they began successful broadcasting of color television in the US. The next ambition among developers was to produce a portable, combined camera and recorder. The size of cameras and recorders in the 1950s made it impossible to call any device portable. It took the development of video cassettes to enable a truly portable \"\"camcorder\"\" They were first developed for television production, especially for news telecasts of on-the-spot events; but they were soon marketed as a family resource-the record keeper of milestones such as weddings and graduations and a baby's first steps."

"text": "Who Invented the Television? Who invented the television is a hotly debated question. The invention of the television grew out of the invention of the radio. Since you can easily send sound through the air waves many inventors starting thinking of the possibility of not only sound being sent through the airwaves, but also images. On December 2, 1922, Edwin Berlin who is the patent holder of numerous technologies including the transmission of photographs or images by wire, by radar device and by fiber optics demonstrated in Sorbonne France a mechanical device that is said to be the predecessor of the modern TV set. Although this device was related to the modern TV set, it was far from the actual technology that was eventually used. This device was able to take an image or actually flashes of light that were sent through a selenium element to another device that produced sound waves. Since at the time, sound waves could be transmitted through the air, these sound waves were then transmitted and received in the new location where the sound waves were demodulated back into flashes of light onto a new mirror. Because Berlin’s device does not come close enough to the standard TV set, he is not acknowledged with inventing the TV set. Unfortunately, there is no clear inventor; it usually comes down to two different people."

Rather it was through the efforts of many people working together and alone over the years that contributed to the evolution of the technology. So let's start at the beginning. At the dawn of television history, there were two competing experimental approaches that led to the breakthroughs that made the technology possible. Early inventors attempted to either build a mechanical television system based on the technology of Paul Nipkow's rotating disks or they tried to build an electronic television system using a cathode ray tube developed independently in 1907 by English inventor A. A. Campbell-Swinton and Russian scientist Boris Rosing. Because electronic television systems worked better, they eventually replaced mechanical systems. Here now is a brief overview of the major names and milestones behind one of the most important inventions of the 20th century. Paul Gottlieb Nipkow (Mechanical Television Pioneer)German inventor Paul Nipkow developed a rotating disc technology to transmit pictures over wire in 1884 called the Nipkow disk. Nipkow is credited with discovering television's scanning principle, in which the light intensities of small portions of an image are successively analyzed and transmitted. John Logie Baird (Mechanical)In the 1920's, John Logie Baird patented the idea of using arrays of transparent rods to transmit images for television."

Farnsworth and he knew very little about electronic theory. Three years earlier his family had moved to a farm in Idaho. The farm had electricity. Philo became fascinated with it and one day when his father and several adults were puzzling over why their farm generator had stopped, Philo surprised everyone by stepping in and repairing the generator. Philo loved to experiment by building electric motors in an attic loft that soon became his own inventor’s lab. One night in the dead of winter Philo read an article about the possibility of combining radio and motion pictures and transmitting this new media instantly into homes just as radio was now doing. He had read science fiction accounts that used spinning mirrors, but they didn’t seem to be fast enough to capture the light of a moving image. Philo pondered the problem for months and in a moment had an inspiration – why not capture light in a jar and transmit it in a series of individual lines of electron beams. You could magnetically deflect each line one at a time so that together they would form a moving picture."

Sometimes people have come up with a groundbreaking idea only to find someone else beat them to the punch, thereby missing the fame and accolades due to them. Every once in a while, a person who produced something incredible ends up living in obscurity and gets “discovered” later in life. However, for every George Michael, there's an Andrew Ridgely. Yes, I'm talking about people who came that close to becoming a household name, but didn't quite get there. There certainly are a lot of people who didn't get recognition or the fame that they so richly deserved. In the words of Maxwell Smart from TV's Get Smart, “Missed it by that much!”1 Claudette Colvin: The woman who refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus nine months before Rosa Parks In 1955, an African American woman in Montgomery, Alabama refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white person. She challenged the law and got arrested, but was left with her dignity intact by resisting racial segregation. This lead to a court case that eventually overturned bus segregation laws in both the city of Montgomery and the state of Alabama. The woman became a bold catalyst for the Civil Rights movement."

His struggles presaged the battle between Bill Gates and Netscape.by Evan I. Schwartz September 1, 2000Presiding over the landmark Microsoft antitrust case, Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson made international headlines when he compared Microsoft’s market power to the hegemony enjoyed by John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil a century ago. But perhaps another, less chronicled story actually serves as a better model for what is happening today and what may yet take place in the years to come. Way back during the birth of broadcasting, a largely forgotten but portentous battle raged between a lone inventor and the indomitable mogul at the helm of the first electronic media-age monopoly. The conflict differed sharply from the Rockefeller case, which involved the supply of a physical product-oil-as well as the system for piping and transporting this commodity. By contrast, the primary product in broadcasting was information, broadly defined. And the primary issue at hand wasn’t pricing but innovation itself. Innovation in the early days of radio was controlled so tightly by David Sarnoff, the stocky, domineering, Russian-born visionary who led the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), that the federal government was compelled to investigate. What government trustbusters found was something that had been obvious to industry insiders for years: Sarnoff’s company had an iron grip on every aspect of radio, from the patents on the device itself to the creation and distribution of programming. “"

On this page I list some of the most important, famous and interesting inventions that occurred back in the 1920's. It was in the early twentieth century when many professional, science based inventions started appearing. Inventions were no longer limited to the sole inventor, often inventions would be created by large, well-educated teams that worked together as teams in research laboratories. The 1920's are often referred to as the 'Roaring Twenties' due to a period of sustained economic prosperity. Many of the inventions created during this period were thought to kick start the modern world as we know it. Inventions of the 1920s include: American Hammond Organ The American Hammond organ worked via a rotating tone wheel and a permanent magnet. Band Aid The adhesive bandage which is still popular today for covering graze and cuts. It was invented by Earle Dickson who was an employee of Johnson & Johnson.

In fact, the first states to authorize and fund direct subsidy programs did so in 1975. Between 2000 and 2006 at least 26 states authorized and/or started pharmaceutical assistance programs, many intended to aid low-income elderly or persons with disabilities who do not qualify for Medicaid. By 2009, a total of at least 42 states had established or authorized some type of program to provide pharmaceutical coverage or assistance; several of those are not currently operational. The subsidy programs, often termed \"\"SPAPs,\"\" utilize state funds to pay for a portion of the costs, usually for a defined population that meets enrollment criteria. In addition, an increasing number of states use discounts or bulk purchasing approaches that do not spend state funds for the drug purchases, listed as \"\"Discount Programs\"\" below. Since the passage of the federal Affordable Care Act (ACA), state legislatures have been less active on SPAP issues. CHANGING NUMBERS AND FEATURES:38 states enacted laws over the past 30 years to create SPAP programs; others were created by executive branch action only.

But there's much that Medicare doesn't cover, as well as an alphabet soup of coverages, premiums, deductibles, and eligibility requirements that can be difficult to navigate -- especially for someone facing a health crisis. Find Out What Medicare Will (and Won't) Cover >>Here are the basics everyone should know about Medicare, and where to look for more information if you need it: What is Medicare? Medicare consists of four categories: Part A covers hospitalization, some skilled nursing facility and home health care, and hospice. Part B covers doctors' services and outpatient care such as X-rays, laboratory work, some home health care, physical and occupational therapy, and some preventive screening. Then there's Part C, also known as Medicare Advantage, which is Medicare received through a private managed care system such as an HMO (health maintenance organization) or PPO (preferred provider organization). When someone enrolls in a Medicare Advantage plan, they receive all the benefits of Medicare Parts A and B, as well as some additional coverage provided by the private plan. As with other managed care, however, Medicare Advantage plans limit where and how their members may receive care."

"text": "\"Home » Managing Your Money At What Age Can a Person Collect Medicare?by Barbie Carpenter; Updated July 27, 2017As the nation's largest health insurance program, Medicare covers more than 40 million people in the U. S. with a range of backgrounds and health conditions. Participants in Medicare have to meet certain eligibility requirements in order to sign up for this health insurance. Age is the primary determining factor in Medicare eligibility, though some individuals who do not meet the age limit can obtain Medicare as well. Eligible participants can take advantage of a number of Medicare services. Age Eligibility Under normal circumstances, individuals who are age 65 and older can receive Medicare benefits. Sixty-five-year-olds are eligible for Medicare if they can or do receive Social Security or railroad retirement benefits, if the individual or his spouse worked in a government job long enough that he paid Medicare taxes or if the individual is the dependent parent of a deceased child who was fully insured. Age Exceptions Some individuals under 65 can receive Medicare benefits depending on their health condition. An individual who has been on Social Security disability benefits for at least 24 months can receive Medicare benefits, no matter her age. Individuals or widows over the age of 50 or individuals who worked for the government, paid Medicare taxes and meet disability requirements are also eligible. Finally, individuals receiving benefits because of Lou Gehrig's disease or kidney failure can sign up for Medicare under the age of 65."

Although the two programs are very different, they are both managed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a division of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services. Medicare is a social insurance program that serves more than 44 million enrollees (as of 2008). The program costs about $432 billion, or 3.2% of GDP, in 2007. Medicaid is a social welfare (or social protection) program that serves about 40 million people (as of 2007) and costs about $330 billion, or 2.4% of GDP, in 2007. Together, Medicare and Medicaid represent 21% of the FY 2007 U. S. federal government. Both Medicaid and Medicare were created when President Lyndon B.

The traditional government-run Medicare is Part A and Part B. For an overview of all the options, see How Much Does Medicare Cost. Medicare Part B covers outpatient health care, including doctors' visits. However, Medicare Part B only covers a portion of the cost of medically necessary procedures; for more comprehensive coverage, most people also buy a supplemental (Medigap) policy from a private insurance company. For more details, see How Much Does Medicare Supplemental Cost. Typical costs: Typically, the premiums for Medicare Part B are deducted from the individual's monthly Social Security check. For 2014, the standard premium for Medicare Part B is $104.90 a month ( $1,258.80 a year), but premiums can cost $146.90-$335.70 a month ( $1,762.80-$4,028.40 a year) if total annual income in 2012 was more than $85,000 for a single person or $170,000 for a married couple. Medicare.gov lists Medicare premiums and deductibles for 2012, including a Part B premium chart by income level. With Medicare Part B, the patient must pay a deductible amount as well as coinsurance payments and copays. For 2014, the deductible is $147 per year and the coinsurance payments will be a percentage of the amount approved by Medicare for the medical services provided."

In this article, we’ll outline the Medicare eligibility requirements so that you can enroll in the Medicare program, which is overseen by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. We’ll also provide detailed information on some of the things you can do to prevent your enrollment process from being delayed or unnecessarily complicated. Who is eligible to receive Medicare benefits? Medicare was designed to ensure that eligible disabled persons and seniors age 65 and older would have accessible, quality health care, regardless of income. To receive Medicare benefits, you have to be a U. S. citizen or a legal resident of at least five continuous years, and you must be entitled to receive Social Security benefits. As a general rule, all U. S. citizens aged 65 or older are eligible for Medicare Part A and Part B. These two parts form original Medicare, and age is definitely the most common qualifying factor when enrolling in the program. Created in 1965, Medicare is a government-backed healthcare insurance plan for senior citizens. It’s also designed for people who might be under 65 but who have certain disabilities, such as end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or Lou Gehrig’s disease. You don’t have to be retired to enroll in Medicare Part A. This portion of Medicare, which covers hospital stays and related care, is available if you’re over the age of 65, even if you’re still working."

Medicare Part A is health insurance offered by the federal government to United States citizens and legal immigrants who have permanently resided in the U. S. without a break for at least five years. You’re eligible if you’re 65 and older or under age 65 with certain disabilities. You may also qualify at any age if you have end-stage renal disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease).

Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) helps cover a variety of services, including the following: Inpatient hospital care: May include semi-private rooms, meals, nursing services, and prescription drugs needed for your treatment. Medicare Part A hospital coverage may include inpatient care you receive in long-term care hospitals, inpatient mental health hospitals, acute care hospitals, and critical access hospitals.

The penalty for screwing up is ending up having to pay an additional 10% penalty for each year you are late in starting. The current premium for Part B (for the year 2009) is $96.40 per month. The second \"\"BUT\"\" to take into consideration (and this could be a good one for you) is that in your particular case, you might not have to sign up for Medicare at age 65.

"text": "I love chickens. They are a beautiful bird that not only provides us with endless amounts of eggs and easy to cook, delicious meat, but they are a joy to own. Just to stop what you are doing and watch them peck the ground, dust in the sand and interact with one another is not only relaxing, it is entertaining. And that is exactly why I asked for chickens for my Mother’s Day gift this year. We have raised chickens, hatched eggs, sold the eggs, done our own meat birds and just plain enjoyed them at different times in our lives. But about 6 years ago a weasel invaded the coop and killed our last 33 chickens within three nights. It was not a pretty sight. It looked as if a ‘chicken vampire’ had evilly drifted through leaving dead chickens with holes in their necks in its wake. We had set traps for the callous weasel, but never caught it. My husband announced, no more chickens until we have the time."

"text": "What Minimum Temperature Do Hens Need to Lay Eggs? By M. B. Lachlei Temperature can affect egg production in chickens. Cold weather, especially an extreme change, can cause hens to stop laying eggs. However, there are other factors that can cause your chickens to stop laying. Too Hot to Handle Extremes of hot or cold temperatures can cause your chickens to stop laying eggs. Heat affects egg production in chickens more than cold. Chickens lay well when the ambient temperature is between 11 and 26 degrees Celsius, or about 52 to 79 degrees Fahrenheit. Below that temperature, egg production diminishes. However, hearty winter breeds are able to keep laying eggs as long as they have enough food and water. Seasonal Changes Once chickens begin laying eggs, they need 14 hours of light to continue laying."

We’ve heard of different things people have tried to encourage broody behavior (sitting on eggs to hatch them), so in a recent survey, we asked our poultry advisory group which methods have worked for them. You can see all the results of the survey, but here’s a quick look at the highlights. Nearly 100 people took the survey. Thirty-seven people said cooping a hen in a small, dark space with a nest of eggs works sometimes. Twenty-nine people said increasing hours of daylight with artificial lighting works sometimes. Sixty-six people said selecting for broodiness in a breeding program works every time (27 people) or sometimes (39 people). But people who took the broody hen survey said that Buff Orpingtons, Silkies, Dorkings and Ameraucanas tend to go broody easily. In the Survey of Chicken Breeds and Hybrids, Silkies, Aseels, Modern Games, Old English Games and Cochins were rated as best breeds for natural incubation."

Straight run chicks are generally less expensive, but they are roughly 50% females and 50% males. Pullets have been sexed by the hatchery and are usually sexed 90% accurately. Most hatcheries or feed stores will refund your money or buy back the cockerels which exceed 10%. With straight run chicks you will have to rehome, or raise the extra males for the table. 2.

But this is when actually the chicken lays their egg based on the overall average. Lighter pullet breeds will start to lay eggs anytime from 3-6 months. These kinds of chicken are being bred for a higher rate of production and to reach sexual maturity earlier. Production of eggs depends on the breed type of the pullet. The breeders want nice large eggs that will be more likely to give a successful hatch rate. Most breed starts to lay around 5-7 months and you can be able to maximize there laying capacity by letting them eat laying pellets but it also depends on breed of the chicken if they suitable of the laying pellets you gave to them. Chicken can still lay egg if you let them free roam from your area. Naturally the hens have the ability to lay eggs but it will be faster if you give them pellets that will quicken their laying rate.

"text": "A Comparison of Egg-Laying Breeds of Chickens By Deborah Stephenson Turning to backyard chickens for eggs is neat, but choosing the right ones is complicated. It is important to know which chickens will give you the greatest number of eggs for the expense of keeping them. You'll also consider size, temperament and general health when choosing breeds for your flock. High Production Breeds If your main concern is to get a steady supply of eggs, you will not do better than the leghorn. This old heritage breed is a standard for most commercial poultry operations since leghorn hens will usually lay an egg daily except during molting. The leghorn is usually white but may also be brown or other colors. The leghorn lays pure white eggs, usually about 300 per year. Other chickens used for egg production include the hybrid sex-linked varieties – red stars and black stars, primarily – whose sex can be determined at an early age by the feather color. Sex-linked breeds, as hybrids, will not breed true in successive generations. The Hy-line brown and golden comet are other popular and productive hybrids."

Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The only commercial brown egg laying hybrid proven for over 25 years to be genetically suitable for free range; Black Rocks originate from the Harco/Arbor Acres breeders of America. They are a true first-cross hybrid from especially selected strains of Rhode Island Red (male line) and a Barred Plymouth Rock (female line). Probably the most successful hybrid for modern free range. It has dense feathering, a highly developed immune system and good body weight. Their thick rich plumage not only protects them from all weather conditions but they have been observed to be less susceptible to Red Mite. They love the outside, come rain, snow or shine. This together with their highly developed natural immune system means they have the potential to have a long productive life. We have heard of instances where hens of up to 10 years old are still going strong, with good egg production, (dependant on local conditions, feed, light, lack of predators etc). Being very docile they are not easily stressed, e.g. by over flying \"\"things\"\" and as a result do not need de-beaking."

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

To ensure a lifelong, satisfying relationship with your dog, you need to understand the nature of this ancient working breed and anticipate and plan ahead as to how you will handle some of their unique characteristics should they present themselves. The Anatolian Shepherd is NOT a German Shepherd!With most dog breeds such as the German Shepherd and the Australian Shepherd, the word “shepherd” means “sheep herder”. These shepherd breeds are herding dogs and are used for rounding up livestock. The name “Anatolian Shepherd” was given to our breed because it is a direct translation of the Turkish name for the shepherd dogs. In Turkey, the livestock guardian/protection dogs that travel with the flocks are called “Coban Kopegi” which means “Shepherd’s Dog” – a dog that works with the human shepherd to keep the flock safe from predators. Another name for the country of Turkey is “Anatolia”. Thus was the translation from \"\"Coban Kopegi\"\" to Turkish shepherd’s dog or “Anatolian Shepherd”. Anatolian Shepherd’s Dog may have been a more accurate name. An Anatolian Shepherd is a full time guardian, whereas a German Shepherd is a fulltime herding dog."

( February 2017) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court1889 frontispiece by Daniel Carter Beard, restored Author Mark Twain Country United States Language English Genre humor, satire, alternate history, science fiction ( time travel ), fantasy Published 1889 ( Charles L. Webster and Co.) [1]Text A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court at Wikisource A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is an 1889 novel by American humorist and writer Mark Twain. The book was originally titled A Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Some early editions are titled A Yankee at the Court of King Arthur. In the book, a Yankee engineer from Connecticut named Hank Morgan receives a severe blow to the head and is somehow transported in time and space to England during the reign of King Arthur. After some initial confusion and his capture by one of Arthur's knights, Hank realizes that he is actually in the past, and he uses his knowledge to make people believe that he is a powerful magician. Twain wrote the book as a burlesque of Romantic notions of chivalry after being inspired by a dream in which he was a knight himself, severely inconvenienced by the weight and cumbersome nature of his armor."

"text": "Home / Baby / Baby Development / Social & Emotional Development My baby cries when someone new holds her. What can I do? David Gellerpediatrician Your baby is going through one of her first emotional milestones — stranger anxiety. Children this age become very clingy and anxious around new and even familiar people and may cry if suddenly approached by a stranger. Your child may also be more anxious around new people when she's tired, hungry, or sick. Keep this in mind when you're around people she doesn't know, and try not to be upset or embarrassed when she cries in someone else's arms. To calm her down, take her back and hold her yourself. If you explain that your child is going through a normal phase, your friends will understand. Tell them that when they approach the baby, slow gentle movements will produce less anxiety than sudden ones. If your child refuses to be held by a friend or relative, try a slow desensitization process."

"text": "\"Cognitive development Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: Bruce Rolff Definition Cognitive development is the construction of thought processes, including remembering, problem solving, and decision-making, from childhood through adolescence to adulthood. Description It was once believed that infants lacked the ability to think or form complex ideas and remained without cognition until they learned language. It is now known that babies are aware of their surroundings and interested in exploration from the time they are born. From birth, babies begin to actively learn. They gather, sort, and process information from around them, using the data to develop perception and thinking skills. Cognitive development refers to how a person perceives, thinks, and gains understanding of his or her world through the interaction of genetic and learned factors. Among the areas of cognitive development are information processing, intelligence , reasoning, language development , and memory. Historically, the cognitive development of children has been studied in a variety of ways. The oldest is through intelligence tests, such as the widely used Stanford Binet Intelligence Quotient (IQ) test first adopted for use in the United States by psychologist Lewis Terman (1877–1956) in 1916 from a French model pioneered in 1905. IQ scoring is based on the concept of \"\"mental age,\"\" according to which the scores of a child of average intelligence match his or her age, while a gifted child's performance is comparable to that of an older child, and a slow learner's scores are similar to those of a younger child."

Jan Koum and Brian Acton, founders of Whats App, are the self-described “yin and yang” of the hugely popular messaging service, which counts 450 million active members, most of them international and thus very alluring to Facebook. Yesterday, Zuckerberg’s behemoth announced it will acquire Whats App for a total of $19 billion in cash and stock options — upon approval, both Koum and Acton, who hold 45 and 20 percent of the company, respectively, will be instant billionaires. Luckily, like all good veterans of Silicon Valley ready to hit it big any day, their bios and personalities already veer into self-mythology, including bits of influence from Soviet Russia, the dot-com bust, Kanye West, and Fight Club. The Origin Story Koum, who was born in Ukraine, came to the United States at the age of 16. His family struggled growing up and “collected food stamps a couple of blocks from the unmarked Mountain View office that now houses his messaging company, Whats App,” reports Wired. He did not own a computer until he was 19. Acton, on the other hand, grew up in Florida with a professional golfer for a stepdad. While he graduated from Stanford, where he studied computer science, Koum, who “hated school anyway,” dropped out of San Jose State University. The pair met while working at Yahoo, where Acton was employee No."

Or possibly your neighbor’s eleven month old is walking, but your thirteen month old has not attempted to walk. Maybe you are worried that your baby’s development is not where it should be and wonder what this means for his or her future. Comparing your baby’s development to other infants or to norms on developmental charts should be avoided. Instead it is important to know that babies develop at different rates and should only be compared to their individual milestones from the previous week or month. Categories of Infant Development: Infant development is divided into four categories: Social: How your baby interacts to the human face and voice. Examples include learning to smile and coo. A social delay may indicate a problem with vision or hearing or with emotional or intellectual development. Language: Receptive language development (how well baby actually understands) is a better gauge of progress than expressive language development (how well baby actually speaks). Slow language development can indicate a vision or hearing problem and should be evaluated."

"text": "73 shares Share Pin it! Tweet 14Tags: separation anxiety Separation and Stranger Anxietyby Dr. Anna Kaplan Babies go through many stages of social development, just as they go through phases of language development and motor development. Between 6 and 12 months of age, babies begin to show separation anxiety and stranger anxiety. Stranger anxiety may begin between 6 months and a year, usually around 8 to 9 months of age. While the word “anxiety” makes it sound like something is wrong, these are in fact normal stages of development. Separation anxiety is fear of the parent leaving. Babies who seemed perfectly happy to stay with a sitter or grandparent may change dramatically during this time and only want to be with parents or even one parent in particular. Leaving the baby with a sitter or in childcare can be much more upsetting for the baby and the parents. { MORE: Still Having Separation Anxiety at School? } Related to this is stranger anxiety."

Whoever thought this was a family movie (the MPAA rates it PG - not even PG-13!) must think kids are made of stern stuff. The film is a gloomy special-effects extravaganza filled with grotesque images, generating fear and despair.

If your baby was born more than three weeks early, you may have more questions about your baby—and how he or she will grow—than a parent whose baby was born on time. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) lists important milestones—or achievements—in a child’s growth, so you know what to watch for at each age. It is important to remember that development is not a race. Babies develop at their own speed and in their own way. Some children do not reach every milestone at the same time. This is especially true if they were born early. How to Adjust Your Baby's Age If your baby was born early, she has 2 important days to mark on the calendar.

Babies grow at an amazingly rapid rate during their first year of life. In addition to babies' physical growth in height and weight, babies also go through major achievement stages, referred to as developmental milestones. Developmental milestones are easily identifiable skills that the baby can perform, such as rolling over, sitting up, and walking. These milestones are usually classified into three categories:motor development,language development, andsocial/emotional development. Babies tend to follow the same progression through these milestones; however, no two babies go through these milestones at exactly the same time. There is a range of time when a specific developmental milestone will be accomplished (for example, babies learn to walk independently between 9-16 months of age). Babies also spend different amounts of time at each stage before moving on to the next stage. Contact a health-care professional with any concerns about a baby's development."

"title": "http://www.pregmed.org/baby-developmental-milestones/baby-laughing\nWhen do Babies Start Laughing",
"text": "When do Babies Start Laughing In the initial months after birth, babies would mostly express their needs to parents by crying. As they advance in age, the sobbing gets replaced by amazing squeals of laughter which is a very effective way of letting their near and dear ones know of their appreciation of things going around them. Laughing is an important mode of communication as a baby laughs approximately three hundred times every day, whereas an adult laughs only twenty times [2]. The common sounds of laughter emitted by the baby at the beginning is a low chuckle, cooing or gurgling that ultimately transforms to a full on belly laugh [1, 2]. A Baby Laughing When do babies start laughing Babies usually laugh out loud for the first time when they are about three to four months of age though some may acquire this skill in their fifth or sixth months. Their laughter may be a result of anything funny or amusing that has caught their sight [1]. The babies’ first laugh will not just leave their parents spellbound but also shock or surprise the little ones because of the suddenly emitted noise. Gradually the kid will enjoy listening to his voice as well as watching others enjoying his laughter and by the fifth month the low squeals or giggles will transform into a complete belly laugh. Moreover, by producing a lot of squealing, cooing and other sounds, they are learning the proper usage of their mouth and tongue, which in turn will be beneficial for speaking [2]. Till six months, infants laugh in response to any auditory or tactile stimulus like tickling, hearing funny noises and blowing raspberries. As their brain and sense of perception matures further after the sixth month, they begin to grow humorous, laughing at their own tricks like throwing things out of the basket or while playing a pass-and-snatch game with their parents [1, 2]. Why do babies laugh in sleep People have certain myths about why a baby giggles away while in bed. Some say that they may be visited by angels whereas others feel that babies may have been transcended into a heavenly world. Though the actual reason behind this mechanism is unknown, it is speculated that as they spend about 50% of their sleeping time in Rapid Eye Movement (REM) they dream more as the brain remains very active then [4]. Some of the funny dreams might cause babies to laugh in their sleep. How to make a baby laugh Blow bubbles: Make your baby burst into squeals of laughter by blowing bubbles using a bubble blower."

Read at your own risk. ] That sound you hear is baby girls crying everywhere. After 11 years and (probably) 103 broken doors and 214 tackles, Shemar Moore exited Criminal Minds on Wednesday's episode. Directed Moore's \"\"little brother\"\" Matthew Gray Gubler, and written by his \"\"baby girl\"\" Kirsten Vangsness and showrunner Erica Messer, the episode quickly reveals the aftermath of last week's shooting: Morgan's (Moore) pregnant wife Savannah ( Rochelle Aytes) was shot, but she and their baby survive. It's all hands on deck once again to catch the unsub — Chazz Montolo ( Lance Henriksen ), the father of Dirty Dozen hit man Giuseppe Montolo — minus one. Hotch ( Thomas Gibson) removes Morgan from the case because it's too personal and he doesn't want Morgan's family to suffer the same fate his did after his tango with The Reaper (RIP Haley). Obviously, that doesn't sit well with Morgan. But after getting some hints from Reid (Gubler) and an actual message from Montolo from JJ ( A. J. Cook ), who doesn't agree with Hotch's call, Morgan goes rogue and heads to one of his renovated houses (callback! ), where he finds Montolo, who (wrongly) believes Morgan killed his son earlier this season."

Well, you’ll be glad to know that babies start giggling at different ages. I remember my little sister started to giggle at a few days old but my mom said it wasn’t giggling; it was gas, so there you go! Cutest baby giggle Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 1:30 I asked my family for stories of when their babies started to giggle. It surprised me to know that the first giggle was on the same level of the first smile, the first goo-goo, the first da-da or ma-ma and was remembered almost as clearly as the first step or the first potty success. Babies start giggling at the weirdest things With one of my relatives, her child was in a baby carrier, maybe three months old, when her father started to play with a laser type light, causing the dog to chase around in circles to catch an uncatchable red beam. The little girl began a funny chuckle but not quite then a little squeal and she then began to giggle so hard she lost her breath and as small as she was, it turned into a laughing that surprised them all."

PLOT: Having survived the previous meltdown of their ice age world that's now returned to its snowy status, Manny the mammoth (voice of RAY ROMANO) and his mate Ellie (voice of QUEEN LATIFAH) are expecting their first child, all of which has left Diego the saber-toothed tiger (voice of DENIS LEARY) and Sid the sloth (voice of JOHN LEGUIZAMO) feeling like third and fourth wheels. Having lost his edge and stamina in hunting down prey, Diego thinks it's time for him to move on, while Sid feels he's losing his unorthodox family and longs to have one of his own. When he ends up falling through a layer of ice down into a hidden cave, he \"\"adopts\"\" three eggs, unaware that they're about to hatch into baby T-Rexes. Yet, rather than eat him, the three baby dinos (that are bigger than him) view Sid as their mother, a development that doesn't sit well with their real and significantly larger mom who carries them and Sid back into her underground tropical world where all manners of other dinosaurs exist. Despite Ellie being near labor at any moment, she, Manny and Sid, along with possums Crash (voice of SEANN WILLIAM SCOTT) and Eddie (voice of JOSH PECK), set out on a rescue mission. Their unexpected guide into this prehistoric world is Buck (voice of SIMON PEGG), a one-eyed swashbuckling weasel who wants to get his revenge on an enormous T-Rex he's nicknamed Rudy. While saber-toothed squirrel Scrat continues his obsession with getting his paws on the ever-elusive acorn and must contend with competition from female saber-toothed squirrel Scratte, the unlikely group of mammals set out to find and rescue Sid, all while trying to avoid the monstrous carnivore that would like to make lunch of all of them.

"text": "What Age Do Babies Start Teething?by Elizabeth San Filippo As a parent, you become familiar with every one of your child's cries. One day there will be a new one: a cry that signals your baby is growing his first tooth. Before that new cry comes, here is some information all parents should know about when babies start to grow their first teeth and what they can do to alleviate their teething pain. At What Age Do Babies Start Teething? According to the American Dental Association (ADA), a baby's first tooth often appears anywhere from eight months to a year of age. The last teeth to grow in are usually the molar, or back teeth, which often start making an appearance anywhere from 13 months all the way up to 33 months. When a tooth starts to break through the gumline the process will naturally cause your little one some discomfort. Some of the symptoms of teething include tender gums, drooling, irritability, trouble sleeping and gnawing and biting on toys. All of this is completely natural. Many of these symptoms will occur throughout the teething process, and every new tooth will take from a couple days to a few weeks to completely break through."

"text": "(Getty Images/i Stock)One of the most important things parents can do, beyond keeping kids healthy and safe, is to read with them. That means starting when they are newborns and not even able to talk, and continuing well beyond the years that they can read by themselves. Study after study shows that early reading with children helps them learn to speak, interact, bond with parents and read early themselves, and reading with kids who already know how to read helps them feel close to caretakers, understand the world around them and be empathetic citizens of the world. We spoke with Liza Baker, the executive editorial director at Scholastic, which just released its Kids & Family Reading Report. “It’s so important to start reading from Day One,” she says. “ The sound of your voice, the lyrical quality of the younger [books] are poetic … It’s magical, even at 8 weeks old they focus momentarily, they’re closer to your heart.” As they begin to grow, families should make sure books are available everywhere in the home, like it’s your “daily bread.” ( Amen.) But it shouldn’t end when kids begin to read on their own. “ As they become independent readers, we tend to let them go, but even kids in older demographics love nothing more than that time with their parents,” Baker says. “"

"text": "When Do Babies Typically Roll Over From Their Tummy to Back?by SHARON SECOR June 13, 2017Motor development timing varies considerably among babies, but the order of the developmental tasks remains the same. Head and neck muscles are the first to come under a baby's control. Muscle control moves downward, toward the feet. Babies typically roll from tummy to back first beginning at around 4 months of age and then back to tummy around 6 months of age, according to the A. I. Du Pont Hospital for Children. Many factors can affect when a baby rolls from tummy to back for the first time, making a fairly wide range of time for the milestone to happen. If your baby hasn't turned over at all by the sixth month, contact your pediatrician, advises the Centers for Disease Control. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Activity Promotes Motor Development To roll from tummy to back, a baby needs to strengthen his torso and arm muscles, according to Kids Health. Plenty of tummy time and floor play each day is the ideal way to develop these muscles. Many babies don't get the daily activity their developing muscles need, spending most of their awake time in baby seats. Multipurpose car seats that go from car to stroller to home have made this especially common, according to a University of Indianapolis Health Sciences article."

"text": "\"Babies Growth & Development Why Is Tummy Time Important for Your Baby? By Vincent Iannelli, MD, a board-certified physician Updated December 07, 2017Share Pin Email Print Getty Images/Copyright Crezalyn Nerona Uratsuji As much as experts have been stressing that you put your baby to sleep on her back, it is likely a bit surprising that you sometimes hear about the importance that your baby also spend some time on her stomach, which is called tummy time. Although it would seem like these recommendations contradict each other, there is an important difference: Tummy time is just for when your baby is awake. You should continue to put your baby to sleep on her back to reduce the risk of SIDS. Importance of Tummy Time One reason that tummy time is important is usually obvious to parents, and that is because many babies develop a flat head from sleeping on their backs. Although often temporary, this condition, called positional plagiocephaly can often be prevented and treated by helping your child spend less time in the same position on her back and more time on her tummy when she is awake. And unfortunately, some children do need medical treatment, like with a DOC band or helmet, for their positional plagiocephaly when more conservative methods don't work. Spending less time prone or on their stomach also can cause some delays in picking up milestones, including rolling over, sitting up, and crawling. Fortunately, by the time we're toddlers, these delays all seem to disappear no matter how your baby sleeps, so it likely more appropriate to describe these kids as having a 'lag' in their development and not a true delay. Still, if you want to avoid this 'lag,' you might try some tummy time during the day."

"text": "Have you been diligently practicing tummy time, all the while wondering—when do babies roll over? We don’t blame you. One of baby’s first milestones is rolling over, and it’s such a fun—not to mention important—development, since it’s the first sign baby is becoming more mobile and independent. Once baby can roll from belly to back and back to belly, sitting up and crawling are usually not far behind. Read on to learn at what age do babies roll over and how to help baby learn to roll over on his or her own. When Do Babies Roll Over? Babies can start rolling over as young as 3 to 4 months old, says pediatrician Deena Blanchard, MD, MPH, since it takes them a few months to build up the necessary strength—including neck and arm muscles and good head control—to pull off this physical feat. Newborns have what’s called a fencing reflex, which is meant to prevent them from rolling over in those first few weeks. When a newborn’s face is turned to one side, baby’s arm and leg on that side extend while the opposite arm and leg flex. “ It’s nature’s built-in mechanism for preventing SIDS ,” says pediatrician Cheryl Wu, MD."

He stayed on his tummy on my chest for hours during the day, and when I had to use the bathroom, I'd leave him on his tummy for 2-4 minutes at a time. He may have occasionally fallen asleep but I'd just pick him up and either roll him over or hold him. But I think it's never too early for them to get used to being on their bellies. The sooner you start, the earlier they'll accept it. If you all of a sudden start tummy time when he's 2 months old, he'll probably object to the new feeling and fuss more than if he'd been introduced earlier. Because I gave my son ample tummy time, he was lifting his head and pushing up at 2 months, as opposed to the 'average' age of 4 months. He was crawling by 6 months, which is also 2 months earlier than 'average'. I don't know if you're wanting your son to develop 'early' but I was pretty proud that tummy time helped my son so much."

Babies enjoy looking at faces, seeing you smile and hearing your voice. They are learning language now, so talk and sing to your baby. Development Talk to your baby in long sentences so he or she can hear and learn the grammar of your language. Also spend time making baby sounds, like \"\"ba ba ba,\"\" to encourage language development. Pause and allow your baby time to respond. Your baby will also try to copy funny faces that you make. If your baby will hear more than one language at home, begin exposing him or her to both languages now. It is much easier for children to speak more than one language if they've heard both languages from infancy."

"text": "Babies Growth & Development Developmental Milestones by Ages and Stages Your Child's Developmental Milestones By Vincent Iannelli, MD, a board-certified physician Updated February 09, 2018Share Pin Email Print Parents often look forward to when their infant, toddler, or other young child reaches their developmental milestones, such as smiling, rolling over, sitting up, taking his first steps, counting to ten, and tying his shoes, etc. Review photos of common developmental milestones and the ages at which children normally reach them, both so that you can recognize when your child's development is delayed and you know when he is right on track. A photo of a group of mothers together with their infants, a time when moms often compare their children's milestones... Parents are often discouraged from comparing the growth and development of their own child against that of other children. The reason is that there is a wide range for when children reach most milestones. For example, most children begin to walk well on their own sometime between 11 and 15 months. If you have a group of 12-month-olds, you will likely see some walking well already, and many others still just cruising around while holding onto things. And all can be developing normally. And even beyond the wide range of normal development, there are always those early bloomers and late bloomers who are also developing normally, too. If your child isn't reaching his developmental milestones on time though, it would be good to talk to your pediatrician to see if there might be a problem with his development and any kind of developmental delay. Take that group of 12-month-olds again."

"text": "10 tips for helping babies learn to roll April 29, 2012 by christiekiley Rolling is one of baby’s first significant motor milestones. Hello, mobility!Not only is rolling the first step in developing postural control (important for later development of fine motor skills such as handwriting), it is also important because it engages a part of the brain responsible for making the left and right sides of the body “talk” to and coordinate with each other (important for reading, writing, and developing higher motor skills). Cool, huh…or am I the only nerd in the room? Some babies are ready to roll from the get-go, while others take their time. On average, babies tend to first roll from tummy to back between 2-5 months, from back to side between 4-5.5 months, and from back to tummy between 5.5-7.5 months. Regardless of whether babies take the fast or slow road to rolling, their bodies begin preparing to roll wayyyyyy before they ever flip themselves over that very first time. And, guess what? YOU get to be a part of that preparation! This post contains affiliate links for your convenience (see full disclosure here ). Here are 10 tips for helping babies learn how to roll:1."

Currently, as part of my licensing requirements, I must take a yearly class on SIDS. Statistically, most cases of SIDS occur between 2-4 months of age with 90% of SIDS deaths occurring before 9 months. SIDS is not typically used as a diagnosis after 12 months. The most common recommendation is to initially place infants to sleep on their backs for the first 12 months. However, when the infant is able to roll over on their own in to the sleep position of his/her choice than it is fine to leave the baby in that position."

Just wanted to get other peoples thoughts..1 following 11 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Crawling is actually not a milestone listed on most development charts. The reason for this is that not all babies crawl plus it is not a prerequisite to have crawling mastered before another milestone can be reached. If a baby is going to crawl, the average age range is 7-10 months to develop proficiency. Since this is an average, some babies will be able to crawl as early as 5-6 months while others can be as old as 12-14 months before they are able to crawl in the traditional sense."

"text": "Developmental milestones: rolling over Approved by the Baby Center Australia Medical Advisory Board Share In this article Rolling over When it develops How it develops What's next Your role When to be concerned Rolling over After gaining head control and right before (or about the same time as) coming to grips with sitting on their own, most babies learn to roll over. This skill is pretty self-explanatory - babies who have mastered rolling over can flip from lying on their back to being on their tummy and vice versa. This is one of your baby's first steps in being able to move himself from place to place and is often motivated by a desire to grab an elusive toy or just get a little closer to you. When it develops Some babies can flip themselves from front to back as early as three months, but most need the strong neck and arm muscles they'll have at about five or six months to flip the other way - from back to front. How it develops At about three months, when he's placed on his stomach your baby will lift his head and shoulders high, using his arms for support. This mini-pushup helps him strengthen the muscles he'll use to roll over. At this point he may amaze you (and himself!) by flipping from his back to his front, or vice versa. ( While babies often flip from front to back first, doing it the other way is perfectly normal too.) At five months your baby will probably be able to lift his head, push up on his arms, arch his back to lift his chest off the ground, and possibly rock on his stomach, kick his legs, and swim with his arms."

"text": "7 tips for making tummy time a little less…um…miserable. March 25, 2012 by christiekiley 71 Comments Ahhh, tummy time. If you’ve spent any amount of time around babies or grown-ups who care for them in the last few years, then I’m sure you’ve heard at least a little about this topic. Tummy time — as the name clearly indicates — is time awake that a baby spends on his, um, tummy. This trendy title is apparently a fairly recent addition to the vocabulary of American parents, as very few adults of my parents’ generation (parents who raised kids in the 80’s) seem to be familiar with it. This makes sense, since it wasn’t until the early 90’s that the “Back to Sleep” campaign was launched and, suddenly, babies nationwide found themselves on their backs for much of their early days, causing them to miss out on all that time that used to be spent lying on their tummies. Tummy time is important because the skills learned while on the tummy are essential for later development. Think about it, most of the big milestones in the first year of life involve the prone position in one form or another (e.g., lifting and turning the head, rolling, pushing the chest off the ground, getting up to hands and knees, scooting, crawling). Tummy time also gives the back of baby’s head a break in an effort to prevent flat spots from forming (something called “positional plagiocephaly”). And, as an occupational therapist, I should mention that tummy time also contributes to the strength and skills needed in the upper body and hands for school-age tasks such as handwriting."

Babies need time on their tummies to develop strong neck muscles which will help your baby accomplish all of her physical milestones like sitting, crawling, and walking. Your baby will naturally start trying to lift her head to see what is going on around her but she won't be able to hold her head up for long periods of time until she's around 3 or 4 months.

Plagiocephaly is a condition that causes a baby's head to have a flat spot (flat head syndrome) or be misshapen. The most common form is positional plagiocephaly. It occurs when a baby's head develops a flat spot due to pressure on that area. Babies are vulnerable because their skull is soft and pliable when they're born. Positional plagiocephaly typically develops after birth when babies spend time in a position that puts pressure on one part of the skull. Because babies spend so much time lying on their back, for example, they may develop a flat spot where their head presses against the mattress. Starting in the early 1990s, parents were told to put their babies to sleep on their back to reduce the risk of SIDS. While this advice has saved thousands of babies' lives, experts have noticed a fivefold increase in misshapen heads since then. ("

Healthy children aren't physically and emotionally ready to start using a potty until they are between 18 months and three years old. Boys tend to be ready a few months later than girls . Most parents start the training when their children are between two years and three years old. But there's no official age, and you needn't potty train your toddler at all if you don't want to. Your child may copy others without needing any instructions, as long as you make it clear to her what she has to do, and where she must do it. You shouldn't force your child to use a potty if she doesn't want to, or if she is not ready to start. Some parents start potty training when their babies are younger than four months."

"text": "\"The Kids At What Age Do Kids Gain Control of Their Bladder?by Suzanne Robin, RN Jan 11, 2013If your best friend is holding her six-month-old over the toilet every few hours and claiming the baby is trained, you might look askance at your 2-year-old and wonder why she isn't getting this \"\"wetting on demand\"\" thing. Infant bladder training, also known as elimination communication, is all the rage in some circles today. But most American kids don't achieve true bladder control for a few more years, between 18 and 24 months or, in some cases, not until age 30 months, although early toilet training is common in other parts of the world. Defining Bladder Control If you define bladder control as your little one's ability to recognize signs that urination is imminent, take himself to the bathroom, undress, sit on the potty, go and then get cleaned up and dressed, obviously bladder control isn't achieved by infants. But if you define it as the ability to go on demand and to hold urine for a very short time, you might be able to bladder train an infant. For most kids, bowel control precedes bladder control and staying dry during the day comes before staying dry all night. Each kid is an individual and will develop bladder control at a different age. RELATED: Potty-Training 101Traditional Potty Training Traditional potty training in the United States means waiting until your child shows an awareness that he needs to use the potty, develops an interest in urinating like everyone else does and is able to sit on some sort of urine-containing pot, whether it be a child's potty or the commode. Being able to pull pants up and down -- a skill girls master around 29.5 months and boys around 33.5 months, according to Beth Choby, M. D., assistant professor at the University of Tennessee–Chattanooga -- is also helpful for kids who tend to rush to the potty at the last minute. If your child can stay dry for two hours on his own, he has the bladder control to start potty training."

( As an aside, “normal” is defined as the mean plus or minus two standard deviations [encompassing 95% of the population]. Normality can be what is socially or culturally acceptable to a particular group. It can also be used to mean healthy, without pathology [i.e. no excess risk of future disease or psychopathology].)A. Important Concepts in Childhood Development Two important concepts of normal child development are:temperamentmental retardation Temperament is the style of behavior that is stable and present in all developmental stages.1. Three types of temperament: The Easy Child: A child that can quickly establish regular routines and adapts easily to new experiences. They are a delight to parents and have a relatively low risk of emotional or behavior problems. The Difficult Child: A child that has irregular daily routines and tends to act negatively to new experiences. These children are at the highest risk of developing behavior problems as they grow up. The Slow-to-warm-up Child: A child that is inactive, shows low-key reactions to environmental stimuli, may be negative in mood and adjusts slowly to new experiences. They tend to be at risk for developing behavioral problems, but their risks can be reduced with sensitive management by parents and teachers."

Don't expect miracles, though-at 8 weeks, she's not going to be housetrained-more like 4-6 months before she's reliable. Many dogs are in the 4 month range before they are even physically capable of holding it long enough to even consider them partially housebroken. If you're crate training, it will be not only easier to train, but much faster, too...if you're not, I suggest you look into it. Leigh · 9 years ago0 0 Comment Asker's rating Puppies don't really have full control over their bodily functions until they are around 6 months old. Always keep her on a leash while you are toilet training her. You need to take her to a designated spot and tell her to 'go potty' or whatever phrase you wish to use."

"text": "\"Toddlers Everyday Care Potty Training When Should You Start Potty Training Your Child? By Vincent Iannelli, MD, a board-certified physician Updated July 25, 2017Share Pin Email Print Steve Wisbauer/Digital Vision/Getty Images Most children begin potty training between 18 months and three years of age. When Kids Start Potty Training Although many parents feel like three years is a magic age by which a child must be potty trained, that is not always the case. For example, a poll on keepkidshealthy.com showed that almost 25% of kids weren't potty trained until they were three-and-a-half or four years old. In addition, research has revealed that girls tend to show an interest in potty training and show signs of readiness about two to three months earlier, on average, than boys. How to Know If Your Child is Ready for Potty Training Even in an older child, it is important to look for signs of readiness before you begin potty training, including: Staying dry for at least two hours at a time Having regular bowel movements Being able to follow simple instructions Being uncomfortable with dirty diapers and wanting them to be changed Asking to use the potty chair Asking to wear regular underwear Showing that he or she is ready to urinate or have a bowel movement by his or her facial expressions, posture, or speech Is your child showing signs that he is ready to start potty training? How to Encourage Your Child to Start Potty Training There are a few ways that you can help your son warm up to the idea. Get him a potty chair and have him decorate it with stickers and sit on it in his clothes while watching TV to help him get used to it. If your child has begun to tell you about having a dirty diaper, you should praise him for telling you and encourage him to tell you in advance next time. Whenever your child shows signs of needing to urinate or have a bowel movement, ask him if he wants to use the potty or take him to the potty chair and explain to him what you want him to do."

"text": "\"QUESTIONWhen should I move my child from a cot to a bed, and how? Share ANSWERPenney Hames Clinical child psychologist and journalist. There is no set time that you should get rid of your child's cot and put him in a bed, although most children make the move sometime between ages 18 months and three and a half. Many parents switch their child to a bed when they feel he has outgrown the cot, but the arrival of another baby is one of the most common reasons to make the move. If you're having another baby, make the switch at least six to eight weeks before you're due. You want your older child settled in his new bed before he sees the baby taking over his cot. You could also delay the switch until the new baby is three or four months old. The newborn may spend those months sleeping in a bassinette anyway, and your older child will have time to adjust to the new baby, making the transition easier. You may also think of changing to a bed when your child tries to climb or jump out of his cot. This may or may not be a good time to switch to a bed."

Read complete review As babies grow older they transform into toddlers and one of the signs of toddlerhood is the transition from diapers to toilets. Fortunately, there are many products available to assist with making this changeover and one that we purchase with great frequency is **Huggies Pull Ups with Learning Designs for Girls**, a brand of training pants designed with little girls in mind. ** Pull- Up Commentary:** Huggies Pull Ups with Learning Designs for Girls are shaped like a diaper, but with pre-attached sides so that a child can grab the pull- ups and slide their legs through the openings with ease. The material used in the construction of these training pants is similar to a diaper, but these pull- ups are a little less comforable than a diaper and a little thinner. Elastic on the sides helps keep the pull- ups held up against the child's skin and a second, elastic ridge helps to guard further against leaks. Velcro on the sides of these pull- ups make it easy to open up and re- seal, if necessary. Small heart- shaped designs on the front will fade if the diaper becomes wet, which is supposed to encourage potty training. And since these pull- ups are designed for girls, they have the absorbant padding placed in the right part of the pull- up, for maximum protection."

"text": "Question When should I start potty training? Share Answer Jill Irving Baby Center's health visitor. When your child shows signs of readiness, and not before. Healthy children aren't physically and emotionally ready to start using a potty until they are between 18 months and three years old. Boys tend to be ready a few months later than girls . Most parents start the training when their children are between two years and three years old. But there's no official age, and you needn't potty train your toddler at all if you don't want to. Your child may copy others without needing any instructions, as long as you make it clear to her what she has to do, and where she must do it. You shouldn't force your child to use a potty if she doesn't want to, or if she is not ready to start. Some parents start potty training when their babies are younger than four months."

"text": "U. S. Two Experts Do Battle Over Potty Training By ERICA GOODE JAN. 12, 1999Toilet training is not rocket science, says John Rosemond, a syndicated columnist and best-selling author of parenting books. He considers it ''a slap to the intelligence of a human being that one would allow him to continue soiling and wetting himself past age 2.'' The process, he says, should be as simple and straightforward as housebreaking a 4-month-old puppy. The noted pediatrician T. Berry Brazelton says there is more to it than that. Parents who force toilet training, he says, can cause lasting problems. '' Don't rush your toddler into toilet training or let anyone else tell you it's time -- it's got to be his choice,'' Dr. Brazelton advises in a television commercial for Pampers size-6 diapers, suitable for children 35 pounds and over. What does he think about Mr. Rosemond's arguments? '' They sound very logical -- for a puppy. '' So goes the newest round in the toilet-training wars."

"text": "\"How to potty train Using a potty is a new skill for your child to learn. It's best to take it slowly and go at your child's pace. Being patient with them will help them get it right, even if you sometimes feel frustrated. Children are able to control their bladder and bowels when they're physically ready and when they want to be dry and clean. Every child is different, so it's best not to compare your child with others. Bear in mind that most children can control their bowels before their bladder. By age one, most babies have stopped doing poos at night. By age two, some children will be dry during the day, but this is still quite early. By age three, 9 out of 10 children are dry most days – even then, all children have the odd accident, especially when they're excited, upset or absorbed in something else. By age four, most children are reliably dry during the day."

By Alice Park Tuesday, Mar. 03, 2009Tweet Read Later Image Source / Corbis Related Baby Einsteins: Not So Smart After All Email Print Share Reprints Follow @TIMEEarly parenting choices are never clear-cut, and deciding whether to allow your infant to watch television or DVDs ranks as one of the more perplexing. Thanks to marketing claims for TV shows and DVDs created for babies, many parents believe that watching educational programming will stimulate infants' brains and actually promote learning. It's a seductive line of reasoning. Certainly, exposing a baby to brain-engaging DVDs will put him on an early path to becoming, well, a baby Einstein, right? Maybe not. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no television time for toddlers younger than 2, in large part because no studies have yet established that TV exposure improves babies' learning. Now a new study published in the current issue of Pediatrics confirms that position. ( See the 100 best TV shows of all time. ) Marie Evans Schmidt, a research associate at the Center on Media & Child Health at Children's Hospital Boston, studied more than 800 youngsters from birth to 3 years, recording the time they spent watching television or DVDs as reported by their mothers, as well as their performance on language and motor-skill tests."

The series premiered worldwide on February 1, 2008. It is also the first DCOS to premiere simultaneously worldwide. The show's official US premiere was marketed as Phineas and Ferb-uary, due to new episodes being shown on many of the days during the month of February. Many of the show's voice actors also appear on other Disney Channel shows; such as Hannah Montana and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. According to the theme song, since there's 104 days of summer vacation, it was considered that the series will consist of 104 11-min episodes or 52 22-min episodes. On August 25, 2011, the show was picked up for a fourth and final season on Disney Channel, later known to be 37 episodes, a possible spin-off on Isabella and the Fireside Girls and a feature film for the series. The series also had a live show that was shown in over 80 different cities across the United States. On June 9, 2014, Phineas and Ferb broke the all-time record of half-hour episodes, set by Dumbo's Circus with 120. It is the longest running Disney Channel Original animated Series, beating Kim Possible 's 5 years and 3 months."

"text": "\"News: Downton Abbey Season 6 to Be Final Season Carnival Films and MASTERPIECE on PBS Announce Upcoming Season 6 to Be Final Season of Downton Abbey Series Is Most-Watched Drama in PBS History Season 5 Seen by 25.5 Million Viewers; Episodes Streamed More Than 12.6 Million Times Carnival Films and MASTERPIECE on PBS announced on March 26, 2015, that Season 6 will be the final season of the hit drama series Downton Abbey. Carnival’s Managing Director and Executive Producer of Downton Abbey, Gareth Neame said, “Millions of people around the world have followed the journey of the Crawley family and those who serve them for the last five years. Inevitably there comes a time when all shows should end and 'Downton’ is no exception. We wanted to close the doors of Downton Abbey when it felt right and natural for the storylines to come together and when the show was still being enjoyed so much by its fans. We can promise a final season full of all the usual drama and intrigue, but with the added excitement of discovering how and where they all end up…”A runaway hit since it debuted on PBS in 2011, Downton Abbey —a Carnival/MASTERPIECE co-production—is widely credited with reigniting American viewers’ passion for British drama. It is the top PBS drama of all time, the most popular series in MASTERPIECE’s 44-year history, and one of the most-watched dramas on American television, frequently beating the competition in its Sunday night time slot. MASTERPIECE is presented on PBS by WGBH Boston. “PBS and our member stations have been so proud to be the home of Downton Abbey on MASTERPIECE in the United States,\"\" said Paula Kerger, President and CEO, PBS. “ We, like the fans, simply cannot wait to see what will happen to the Crawley family and their beloved staff as this incredible series culminates in Season 6. The series has enjoyed such success over the past five seasons and we'll certainly be working alongside Carnival, MASTERPIECE and PBS member stations to make Season 6 the biggest yet."

"text": "\"10 Television Shows That Were Cancelled and Why…Kind of13By Shell Harris on November 5, 2010 Humor, Movies & Television Television shows are canceled for many reasons, from the fact they just suck to they didn’t quite live up to our sophisticated expectations. Every fan of a canceled television show develops his own reasoning behind the departure ranging from the conspiratorial, such as the studio hated the director, to the supernatural, such as The Seinfeld Curse. Below are some of my favorite reasons for some canceled shows.10. Highlander the Series When the movie came out in the 80’s, I was hooked on the emotionally tortured immortal that was forced to fight other immortals for the gift of mortality. When the movie was transferred to the series with Adrian Paul, I was a faithful follower for many seasons. Why did this series get canceled? The immortal got old. Pretty soon, Paul was going to have to give up his katana for a cane and shuffle about France in a Hoveround. While it may have been too much for weekly viewers to handle seeing crows feet appear on the immortal, it didn’t stop him from making several horrible movies that featured a ton of concealing dark lighting.9. Alf This endearing story about a furry alien from Melmac and his adventures with an Earth family, was a favorite in the 80’s, but was suddenly canceled with a season ending cliffhanger."

Baughman University of Wisconsin, Madison When television finally came to America in the late 1940s, few could disguise their fascination with what some dubbed \"\"the home screen.\"\" Many saw their first telecasts in bars, which won or retained customers by installing sets, often tuned to an early filler of the schedule, professional wrestling. In department store appliance departments and store windows, people stared at television sets and asked about prices and installation costs. Many entrepreneurs temporarily entered TV set retailing. In some localities, sets could be bought at beauty parlors, gas stations, and dry cleaners. Television sales took off in the late 1940s following the start of individual stations in the largest cities. Only in such heavily populated places was the relatively high cost of starting and operating a station considered economically viable. TV set ownership thus initially possessed a big-city or, more accurately, metropolitan-area bias."

During their wanderings, ancient Jewry happened upon some of the most abominable practices of the pagan world, including child-sacrifice. The contrast between the world’s wanton violence and promiscuity on the one hand, and the Torah’s pristine standards and sensitivities on the other, must have been astounding. For those who had seen the dark side of polytheism and yet knew of a brighter truth, nothing could have been as repulsive as cultures of idol worship. One would think there was little danger of Jewry being drawn into pagan rituals. God did not feel the same confidence. He saw a vulnerability through which even those who knew both paganism’s horrors and Torah’s wholesomeness could succumb: If Jewry would bring idols into their own homes, even for aesthetic enjoyment or academic study, they could corrupt Jewish sensibilities. “ Do not bring an abomination into your house since you will become accursed like it,” He warned His chosen people. “ You should utterly detest [an idol] and utterly abhor it, for it is an objectively cursed thing.” ( 1) Ancient Israel needed a commandment to detest the detestable, abhor the abhorrent, and keep it far from their homes, the Torah teaches, because once even the most crass influence passes within, it grows gradually less offensive and more acceptable."

"text": "\"�Liver Fluke Control in Beef Cattle 1M. B. Irsik, Charles Courtney III, and Ed Richey 2The common liver fluke ( Fasciola hepatica) is recognized as one of the most damaging parasites in Florida cattle. The liver fluke is a problem in the Gulf Coast states and the Pacific Northwest; in Florida, most infected cattle are found grazing low-lying pastures in the peninsula, south and east of the Suwannee River. Few, if any, liver flukes are found in the panhandle of Florida. Life Cycle The adult liver fluke resides in the bile ducts of the animal's liver. The adult liver flukes produce eggs which are carried with bile to the gut and are then passed in the feces (see Figure 1).. In the fecal pat, a ciliated larva called a miracidium develops inside the liver fluke egg. Complete development of the miracidium requires between 10 days to several months depending upon the temperature and moisture available. Development of the miracidium is known to occur at temperatures between 50 o F and 86 o F, ideal Florida weather. When a fluke egg is exposed to sunlight a developed, free-swimming, ciliated miracidium hatches. After hatching, the miracidium (see Figure 2).must find and penetrate a suitable snail host within a few hours or die. Inside the snail host, the miracidium multiplies and transforms into many tadpole-like cercariae which exit the snail."

It depends on hard a cow is milked. Some of the big dairy units will only milk for 2 -3 years before the cow is sent barren and slaughtered. This I feel , even as a Dairy farmer's wife, is cruel as they are milked really hard, 3 times a day before they are of no use any more. We don't do this, we have 2 cows that are 13 years old already and are still being milked."

Reviews Every Twelve Seconds: Industrialized Slaughter and the Politics of Sight By Timothy Pachirat Yale The Y ale Agrarian Studies completist is always an easy person to buy for, but his smile may slip a notch when he unwraps Every Twelve Seconds: Industrialized Slaughter and the Politics of Sight. As if the title weren’t off-putting enough, the cover photograph shows a faceless man in full-body rubber apron and rubber boots, the whole getup spattered with fresh blood. Is that an elastic band on the slick red floor, or a tapeworm? Mercifully, the book deals only in small part with the actual killing of animals, being a firsthand account of various kinds of slaughterhouse work. Liver hanger, cattle driver, quality-control worker: in five months undercover, Timothy Pachirat did it all. The comprehensiveness of his experience makes Every Twelve Seconds especially valuable, considering the meat industry’s campaign to stamp out precisely this sort of research. Iowa and Utah have already passed laws making it a crime to gain employment at a slaughterhouse for the purpose of documenting abuses and code violations; similar “ag gag” bills have been proposed in other states."

Not only do they provide us with food and fiber, but they also help to recycle nutrients and add to soil fertility. Over recent decades, however, the farming of animals has become increasingly separated from its natural existence on the land. Today, most farm animals in the United States are raised in confinement on huge industrialized systems that are more like factories than farms. Today feedlots with 1,000 head or more of capacity comprise less than 5 percent of total feedlots but market 80-90 percent of fed cattle F - in fact the 10 largest cattle feeding operations in the US comprise approximately 30% of the total feedlot capacity. F In 1999 the top ten hog farms, all corporately owned, had an estimated 1.5 million sows and were responsible for 25-30% of the total pork production in the US. F In 2005 the top three hog companies owned 21% of all US sows in production. F In a recent survey of broiler farms only 0.4% of birds were produced by independent operations F - outside of the industrial broiler production contracts that dominate the industry.

Download PDF Save For Later Print Purchase Print Articles Bison Bison, commonly referred to as the American Plains Buffalo, are not only native to the Great Plains and the Midwest but also once roamed the mountain slopes and valleys of Pennsylvania. The state’s last native bison was shot in 1801. Commercial breeders and bison enthusiasts have since reintroduced bison to Pennsylvania. The northeastern United States has nearly 175 domestic herds with a total of over 3,800 bison. According to the USDA 2012 Census of Agriculture, nearly 60,000 bison are sold annually in the United States, and the USDA Meat, Poultry, and Egg Product Inspection Directory lists about 90 bison-processing facilities nationwide. Although bison still have many of their wild tendencies and are only semi-domesticated, they are an agricultural alternative that may be appropriate for some small-scale and part-time farms. Bison adapt to a wide range of environments, feed sources, and management systems. A herd should consist of at least one bull and 10 to 15 cows. In Pennsylvania, herd sizes range from small operations with fewer than 25 bison to large operations with more than 200 bison."

What Services Do Commercial Feed Yards Offer? Feeding cattle to slaughter weights Commercial feed yards are specialists in feeding cattle high-concentrate finishing rations. Rations vary from region to region, but all feed a diet high in grains or grain byproducts. However, no matter what the ration, the manager should have experience feeding high-concentrate diets to slaughter cattle. Many feedlots will use the services of private or feed industry nutritionists to formulate rations and provide technical advice on feeding management. Financing Many feed yards will offer their clients financing for cattle, feed and other charges. This usually is accomplished through local banks or finance companies associated with the feedlot."

But what do these terms mean, and how are they different from feedlot beef? What is Feedlot Beef? Cattle in the U. S. start life on a pasture, nursing from their mothers and eating grass. When the calves are about 12-18 months old, they are transferred to a feedlot where they eat mostly grain. Grain is an unnatural diet for cows, but raising cows in feedlots is cheaper than raising them on large pastures, where they can roam and graze on grass. Because the cows in feedlots are crowded, they are more likely to become sick, and are more likely to be given routine antibiotics as a preventive measure. Cows raised in this way are also typically given growth hormones so that they can reach slaughter weight faster. Because grain-fed cows grow faster, farmers can produce more meat in a shorter amount of time."

When they head to the backyard to check it out, open the freezer and say, “Sorry guys, he’s in here. ”Maybe that sense of humor won’t fly at your house, but a smart and informed shopper can bring home the best possible, high-quality beef from the field to her freezer, at a cost savings. You’ll need to know a few terms, have a few hundred bucks saved up, and be armed with questions, both to ask and to answer. The benefits: You’ll have your freezer stocked with an animal that grazed in lush, green pastures and gained weight naturally on grass. Compare that to the cattle who was prematurely separated from his mother, lived in cattle-lined stock pens, fed corn, protein supplements and growth hormones, sold at the auction and slaughtered at a young age.

Irsik, Charles Courtney III, and Ed Richey 2The common liver fluke ( Fasciola hepatica) is recognized as one of the most damaging parasites in Florida cattle. The liver fluke is a problem in the Gulf Coast states and the Pacific Northwest; in Florida, most infected cattle are found grazing low-lying pastures in the peninsula, south and east of the Suwannee River. Few, if any, liver flukes are found in the panhandle of Florida. Life Cycle The adult liver fluke resides in the bile ducts of the animal's liver. The adult liver flukes produce eggs which are carried with bile to the gut and are then passed in the feces (see Figure 1).. In the fecal pat, a ciliated larva called a miracidium develops inside the liver fluke egg. Complete development of the miracidium requires between 10 days to several months depending upon the temperature and moisture available. Development of the miracidium is known to occur at temperatures between 50 o F and 86 o F, ideal Florida weather. When a fluke egg is exposed to sunlight a developed, free-swimming, ciliated miracidium hatches. After hatching, the miracidium (see Figure 2).must find and penetrate a suitable snail host within a few hours or die. Inside the snail host, the miracidium multiplies and transforms into many tadpole-like cercariae which exit the snail."

Most cattle in the US have a diet that is composed of at least some forage (grass, legumes, or silage ). In fact, most beef cattle are raised on pasture from birth in the spring until autumn (7 to 9 months). [ 1] Then for pasture-fed animals, grass is the forage that composes all or at least the great majority of their diet. Cattle fattened in feedlots are fed small amounts of hay supplemented with grain, soy and other ingredients in order to increase the energy density of the diet. The debate is whether cattle should be raised on diets primarily composed of pasture (grass) or a concentrated diet of grain, soy, corn and other supplements.

Calcium is especially important as a building block of bone tissue. We must get calcium from the foods we eat. If we do not have enough calcium in our diets to keep our bodies functioning, calcium is removed from where it is stored in our bones. Over time, this causes our bones to grow weaker. Loss of bone strength can lead to osteoporosis — a disorder in which bones become very fragile and more likely to break.

Over a 12-month period, the first group, consisting of 55 women, was instructed to consume 100 grams of dried plums (about 10 prunes) each day, while the second -- a comparative control group of 45 women -- was told to consume 100 grams of dried apples. All of the study's participants also received daily doses of calcium (500 milligrams) and vitamin D (400 international units). The group that consumed dried plums had significantly higher bone mineral density in the ulna (one of two long bones in the forearm) and spine, in comparison with the group that ate dried apples. This, according to Arjmandi, was due in part to the ability of dried plums to suppress the rate of bone resorption, or the breakdown of bone, which tends to exceed the rate of new bone growth as people age."

Tresca | Reviewed by Emmy Ludwig, MDUpdated February 21, 2018Share Pin Email Print PASIEKA / Getty Images If you have inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), your doctor may have prescribed steroids such as prednisone to decrease inflammation during a flare-up. The common side effects of steroids range from annoying to debilitating, but most of them will go away when the dosage is tapered down and discontinued. However, steroids can also contribute to the development of potentially serious and permanent effects, especially when they are taken in high dosages or for longer periods of time. One of these conditions is steroid-induced osteoporosis. It's well-known that steroids can contribute to bone loss. For those that are taking steroids, asking a doctor about osteoporosis and having periodic testing are important things that can help catch any bone loss early. What Is Osteoporosis? Osteoporosis is a weakening of the bones, which causes them to lose their density and become brittle and more susceptible to fracture. It is largely thought of as a disease of post-menopausal women, which is true in part, but it can happen to men or women of any age who are at risk. Some of the risk factors include: Age (over 65)Being of Caucasian or Asian descent Family history of osteoporosis Thin/small build (less than 154 lbs)Previous fracture Use of certain medications (including steroids and thyroid hormones)Early menopause Inadequate calcium intake; inadequate vitamin intake High-protein diets Sedentary lifestyle Smoking Alcohol abuse Parathyroid disease Steroid-Induced Osteoporosis While steroids do decrease inflammation, they also decrease the formation of new bone, increase the breakdown of old bone, and decrease the absorption of calcium from food by the body."

That is the natural course of life. We women, especially, have to deal with a lot when it comes to aging, and menopause is the biggest change! Another health issue that often crops up with aging is osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is the term given to the condition of the bones in which they start deteriorating. In this condition, one’s bone mass decreases, eventually resulting in weakened bones. In case of people suffering from this condition, the formation of bones is slower than the usual, resulting in a greater loss in density, which makes the bones more prone to fractures. Bones become porous due to osteoporosis. The condition is also called the silent disease because there are no apparent symptoms to look out for. Because there are no obvious symptoms, chances are that the person suffering from the condition may not even know about it."

"text": "\"Osteoporosis Screening: Who, How, When, and Why Submitted by Nicola V. Hawkinson, DNP, RN, RNFA on May 5th, 2008Question: I'm in my mid-70s, and I've always been a fairly active, healthy lady. My neighbor, who's about my age, has me worried, though. She was recently told that she had broken a bone in her back because of osteoporosis. Now my neighbor says that I should get tested for osteoporosis, too. In fact, she says all women should be tested. My doctor has never mentioned a test, so I assume my bones are healthy enough. Do you think I should get tested? I have a 51-year-old daughter. Should she be worried about osteoporosis, too? — Lake Forest, IL Answer: Your neighbor is right on this one: as a woman over 65, you should be screened for osteoporosis."

"text": "Causes Osteoporosis causes bones to become less dense and more fragile. Some people are more at risk than others. Bones are at their thickest and strongest in your early adult life and their density increases until your late 20s. You gradually start losing bone density from around the age of 35. This happens to everyone, but some people develop osteoporosis and lose bone density much faster than normal. This means they're at greater risk of a fracture. Risk groups Osteoporosis can affect men and women. It's more common in older people, but it can also affect younger people. Women Women are more at risk of developing osteoporosis than men because the hormone changes that occur in the menopause directly affect bone density. The female hormone oestrogen is essential for healthy bones."

Bone strength has two main features: bone mass (amount of bone) and bone quality. Osteoporosis is the major underlying cause of fractures in postmenopausal women and the elderly. Fractures occur most often in bones of the hip, spine, and wrist, but any bone can be affected."

Your bones also help protect your heart, lungs, and brain. Even though your bones feel hard and rigid, bones are living tissues that are constantly rebuilding themselves during your life. Your bones need calcium, vitamin D, and weight-bearing physical activity to stay healthy and strong. If you don't have a healthy diet full of these bone-building nutrients and don’t get enough of certain kinds of exercise, your bones can start to weaken early in your life without you knowing about it. Smoking, heavy alcohol use, and being underweight also can put your at risk for bone loss. During your childhood and teenage years, your body adds new bone faster than it gets rid of old bone. After about age 30, you can start to lose bone faster than your body makes bone, which makes your bones weaker and more likely to break. Some bone loss is natural as both men and women age. Still, it's important to take steps to make sure you don't lose too much bone and put yourself at risk of easily breaking a bone by falling or tripping."

Regular bouts of low-impact strength training can improve your bone density and reduce the risk of fractures. Given the relationship between exercise and bone health, it's no surprise that doctors often recommend exercise to treat or prevent ailments related to the bones, such as osteoporosis. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Benefits to Bone Structure During exercise, the pull of muscles against your bones actually promotes their growth. The tension created from the pull of the muscle triggers the body to increase the bone's density. The bone density of young adults may increase, through exercise, by up to 8 percent in one year, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Especially before the ages of 25 to 30, regular exercise can strongly affect bone development, resulting in a denser and stronger overall structure. Even after your formative years have passed, regular exercise can continue to have the same positive effect, improving bone density and strength. Exercise Tips Weight-bearing exercises, in which you use your muscles against gravity, are the most effective at improving bone structure. In addition to weightlifting, these exercises may include jogging, hiking, aerobics or dancing, all of which require you to move and hold your body against gravity."

Osteoporosis Definition The word osteoporosis literally means \"\"porous bones.\"\" It occurs when bones lose an excessiveamount of their protein and mineral content, particularly calcium. Over time, bone mass, andtherefore bone strength, is decreased. As a result, bones become fragile and break easily. Even a sneeze or a sudden movement may be enough to break a bone in someone with severeosteoporosis. Description Osteoporosis is a serious public health problem. Some 44 million people in the United States are at risk for this potentially debilitating disease, which is responsible for 1.5 million fractures (brokenbones) annually. These fractures, which are often the first sign of the disease, can affect any bone,but the most common locations are the hip, spine, and wrist. Breaks in the hip and spine are of special concern because they almost always require hospitalization and major surgery, and maylead to other serious consequences, including permanent disability and even death."

C., when Hippocrates is said to have employed it as a treatment for a variety of disorders. Taking copper supplements can help ensure that you get the 900 micrograms of copper daily needed to prevent deficiency, according to the Institute of Medicine, and the mineral offers a number of potential health benefits. Copper supplements, however, can also cause side effects and interact with medications, so you should only take them under the supervision of a doctor. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Prevents Copper Deficiency Taking copper supplements helps prevent or treat copper deficiency. That can occur if you aren't getting enough copper in your diet or you take medication that reduces your body's copper levels. Copper deficiency negatively affects your blood cells. It causes anemia -- a condition that occurs when your red blood cells can't supply enough oxygen to your tissues. Low copper levels also have the potential to harm your nervous system and reduce skin pigmentation. Supports Immune Function Taking copper supplements plays a beneficial role in immune function because you need copper for healthy white blood cells -- the cell type tasked with seeking out, identifying and destroying pathogens. Low copper levels lower your white blood count, leaving you vulnerable to infection."

These dresses are covered with a cape and apron and are fastened with straight pins or snaps. They never cut their hair, which they wear in a bun on the back of the head. On their heads they wear a white prayer covering if they are married and a black one if they are single. Amish women do not wear jewelry. Men and boys wear dark-colored suits, straight-cut coats without lapels, broadfall trousers, suspenders, solid-colored shirts, black socks and shoes, and black or straw broad-brimmed hats. Their shirts fasten with conventional buttons, but their suit coats and vests fasten with hooks and eyes. They do not have mustaches, but they grow beards after they marry. The Amish feel these distinctive clothes encourage humility and separation from the world. Their clothing is not a costume; it is an expression of their faith."

From an evolutionary viewpoint the beard is a part of the broader category of androgenic hair. It is a vestigial trait from a time when humans had hair on their face and entire body like the hair on gorillas. The evolutionary loss of hair is pronounced in some populations such as indigenous Americans and some east Asian populations, who have less facial hair, whereas people of European or South Asian ancestry and the Ainu have more facial hair."

I took a poll on our Facebook page and asked followers if there were any questions about beards I could answer for them. “ How can I make my beard grow faster?” was one of the most popular, so here you go. For those with short attention spans, here is the summary: eat protein, wash infrequently, take your vitamins, use beard oil, and get a chin massage. How Beards Grow Fast Grow a beard faster by eating enough protein, and getting a chin massage. Click To Tweet To better understand beards and how they grow, we need a little background. If you read my previous article on how long it takes to grow a beard, you’ll remember that genetics are the primary dictator of beard length, and that a man’s beard can take anywhere from two months to six years to reach its maximum length. The same is true for the speed at which a beard can grow. Beards grow when the hair is in the first of three phases of life, called the “anagen” phase, or growth phase."

Crown Heights, Boro Park and Williamsburg are three of the largest Hasidic communities in the world. For three hundred years, Hasidic male dress has mimicked that of the late-medieval Polish Nobility, yet each Hasidic court has its own style or uniform. To an outsider these subtle differences may go undetected but to a Hasid the signals are obvious. There are at least seven different courts (sects) that thrive in Brooklyn and possibly 100 worldwide. Called the urban Amish, they are a mega-pious group (Hasid is Hebrew for pious). As a Hasid, it is the utmost to let people know that one is Jewish and dress is one way this is achieved. Here, I will decipher some of these codes of dress, focusing on the Lubavitch Chabad of Crown Heights, Bobov of Boro Park and Satmar Hasidim of Williamsburg's Southside.

A beard is the collection of hair that grows on the chin and cheeks of humans and some animals. In humans, usually only pubescent or adult males are able to grow beards. From an evolutionary viewpoint the beard is a part of the broader category of androgenic hair. It is a vestigial trait from a time when humans had hair on their face and entire body like the hair on gorillas. The evolutionary loss of hair is pronounced in some populations such as indigenous Americans and some east Asian populations, who have less facial hair, whereas people of European or South Asian ancestry and the Ainu have more facial hair."

Beards can start appearing as early as fourteen years of age, or it can take a man until his early twenties, or even later. For some people, a beard is the art of manliness. They contend that a man’s facial hair separates men from boys. With today’s men’s style, it appears that beards are back in fashion. This article is a rough guide to facial hair growth in men. Trivia: Do you know that a man who never shaves in his lifetime can grow a beard as long as 30 feet!Why Do Only Men Have Facial Hair Actually, women grow facial hair too. Like men, women have facial hair, but the strands are very light and are barely noticed. When a boy reaches puberty, his hair starts to grow thick and dark. The adolescent stage brings a lot of physical changes in men, including facial hair growth."

Email to a Friend!Bearded dragons, also known as the genus Pogona, are the animals that give us hope that dragons can exist outside of fantasy novels. But how big do they really get? A few things contribute to their size. Major contributing factors include the dragons’ species, sex, their health and diet, and what’s going on in their environment. Bearded dragons grow to their largest sizes in the wild. That’s because they’re able to better acclimate themselves to the environment, roam and find food when they want. In captive environments, they don’t get the nutrients they need to grow as large, and the result is that captive dragons grow to about 10 percent smaller than those in the wild."

Some will say that this is \"\"probably because the proper view has been so readily accepted in the past, having been an inbred lesson of nature.\"\" 1 Let us further examine these points. HAIR REMOVAL IN THE BIBLEFrom the words previously examined, few refer to cutting a woman's hair. We will now examine some of these Scriptures.1.

"text": "While adult bearded dragons are large enough to repel many predators, young ones are bite-size snacks for a wide variety of predators. Because of this, bearded dragons grow very quickly, and are capable of reaching adulthood in less than a year. Do not be frustrated if your bearded dragon takes longer than this to mature; by providing top-notch husbandry you can accelerate their growth rate. Bearded Basics Bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps) are omnivorous lizards hailing from central and eastern Australia. They derive their colloquial name from the dark scales on the throats of adults. When threatened by a predator, bearded dragons will puff this dark throat out and gape to make themselves look larger and more intimidating. Bearded dragons are semi-arboreal omnivores that consume a variety of insects and small vertebrates as well as fruits, flowers and vegetation. Usually reaching about 18 to 22 inches in length, they are perfectly suited for captivity; they grow large enough to allow moderate interaction, yet not so large that they are difficult to house. Before Their First Birthday Bearded dragons are approximately 3 to 4 inches in total length when they hatch. When provided with optimal husbandry, they will double this length by the time they reach 6 or 7 weeks of age."

Proof of this is all around: full beards on the pasty white faces of 22-year-olds; Ho Chi Minh goatees on the chins of drug dealers, the homeless, karate kids, bankers, supermarket clerks and bicycle messengers. And in that other hairy world, or the world of facial stubble, the famous five o’clock shadow has become the nearly permanent 10 o’clock shadow, proving — as if you needed proof at this point — that this is the season of facial hair. If you want additional proof that in Philadelphia the beard is king, stand under the El at Front and Girard on a Friday evening as students from Penn, Drexel and Temple stream onto Girard Avenue from the El to the Fishtown bars. Try counting the number of men with beards and I guarantee your mental calculator will go off the charts as the number of beards will spin into the hundreds. While beards look great on some people, the operative word here is some. The beard, or the 10 o’clock permanent shadow, has become a sort of conformist non-conformity badge, like tattoos and piercings. Men today grow beards whether or not they have faces that look good in hair. Only one thing matters: to have a beard! With so many faces hidden behind Jerry Garcia paste-on hair, it’s as if life has become a never-ending celebration of Halloween."

Most cataracts develop in people over age 55, but they occasionally occur in infants and young children. Usually cataracts develop in both eyes, but one may be worse than the other. The lens is located inside the eye behind the iris, the colored part of the eye. Normally, the lens focuses light on the retina, which sends the image through the optic nerve to the brain. However, if the lens is clouded by a cataract, light is scattered so the lens can no longer focus it properly, causing vision problems. The lens is made of mostly proteins and water. Clouding of the lens occurs due to changes in the proteins and lens fibers. Cataracts generally form very slowly."

For people who have cataracts, seeing through cloudy lenses is a bit like looking through a frosty or fogged-up window. Clouded vision caused by cataracts can make it more difficult to read, drive a car (especially at night) or see the expression on a friend's face. Most cataracts develop slowly and don't disturb your eyesight early on. But with time, cataracts will eventually interfere with your vision. At first, stronger lighting and eyeglasses can help you deal with cataracts. But if impaired vision interferes with your usual activities, you might need cataract surgery. Fortunately, cataract surgery is generally a safe, effective procedure. Symptoms Signs and symptoms of cataracts include: Clouded, blurred or dim vision Increasing difficulty with vision at night Sensitivity to light and glare Need for brighter light for reading and other activities Seeing \"\"halos\"\" around lights Frequent changes in eyeglass or contact lens prescription Fading or yellowing of colors Double vision in a single eye At first, the cloudiness in your vision caused by a cataract may affect only a small part of the eye's lens and you may be unaware of any vision loss.

A common question is, “Does Medicare cover cataract surgery?” Fortunately, it does. Many who have medical insurance make the mistake of believing this important procedure is not covered because they know they do not have “vision insurance. ”Most major medical plans do cover cataract surgery costs when the cataract is “medically necessary. ”Vision Insurance vs. Medical Insurance Vision insurance covers routine eye exams, glasses, and contact lenses.

A: A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens, which gradually loses its normal transparency with age. At first the effect is to scatter light, causing glare from sunlight and headlights. As the lens becomes cloudier, the vision gets blurrier. The eye may eventually become legally blind unless cataract surgery is performed. Q: How has cataract surgery changed over time?

Roberts Fordham University, Department of Natural Sciences 113 West 60th Street, New York City, NY 10023 [email protected] Introduction The primary function of the human lens is to focus light undistorted onto the retina. While the transmission properties of most of the components of the eye are stable, the transmission properties of the lens change throughout life, as seen in Figure 1. Figure 1. The changes in the human lens throughout life. Pictured are at birth, 40 years and 80 years. Exposure to the intense light of the sun can pose a particular hazard to the lens of the eye, and lead to the formation of a cataract [a clouding of the lens], which impairs vision. Both UV-A and UV-B exposure [Andley et al. 2004; Roberts 2001; Balasubramanian 2000] are major risk factors for the induction of a cataract, especially in those above 70 years old, because with age the eye's ability to protect itself against light damage is compromised. Exposure to UV radiation from the reflection off of water, sand, or snow is particularly damaging to the lens of the eye [Sliney 2005; Merriam 1996; Coroneo 1990]. In addition to UV radiation alone, there are many dyes, drugs and herbal medication that in the presence of both visible light and UV radiation can induce a cataract [Roberts 2002]. This phototoxic reaction causes a very early cataract [about 40 years old]. Any modification in the clarity of the lens will degrade the quality of the image presented to the retina, and greatly affects visual perception. In this module, we will learn about the photochemistry and photobiology of the lens, and how these properties affect not only the retina, but overall human health [Roberts 2000]. Structure of the Front of the Eye (Anterior Segment) The human eye is composed of several compartments, as seen in Figure 2."

The natural lens sits behind the colored part of the eye ( iris) in the area of the pupil, and cannot be directly seen with the naked eye unless it becomes extremely cloudy. The lens plays a crucial role in focusing unimpeded light on the retina at the back of the eye. The retina transforms light to a neurologic signal that the brain interprets as vision. Significant cataracts block and distort light passing through the lens, causing visual symptoms and complaints.

"text": "A nuclear cataract is an eye condition characterized by a centralized clouding of the lens that interferes with one’s vision. Risk factors for this form of cataract development include advanced age, certain existing medical conditions and lifestyle factors. Treatment for a nuclear cataract generally involves surgery to replace the affected lens. As with any invasive medical procedure, cataract surgery does carry some risk for complication, including excessive bleeding and infection. Cataracts generally form due to a genetic predisposition or in the wake of either injury or lens deterioration induced by advanced age. Forming either uni- or bilaterally, meaning in one or both eyes, a nuclear cataract forms when the center of the eye's lens thickens and loses its flexibility. Unable to focus light as it should, the affected lens’ tissue deteriorates, forming a cataract. Though the cataract itself is not necessarily a threat to one’s sense of sight, it can impair one’s ability to see properly. Ad Pronounced vision changes that occur with nuclear cataract development will generally prompt a visit to the ophthalmologist. A diagnosis of a nuclear cataract will generally be made following the administration of a vision acuity test and other diagnostic exams."

"text": "Causes, Treatments and Symptoms of Cataracts Cataract Surgery | January 31, 2017One of the ironies about cataract symptoms is that they develop so slowly – over years, in most cases – and they can be hard to detect. The time when most people learn just how much their cataracts had affected their vision is after surgery, when yellowed tones become white again and what looked like muted colors or blurry details return to their true clarity. A quick tour of the eye When you look in the mirror, you see the round black centers of your pupils, the color of your irises and the whites of your eyes. The cornea is the transparent, gel-like tissue across the front of your eyes. And what can’t be seen without special tools is the lens of the eye, which is made mostly of protein and water and is located just behind the pupil and iris. The lens helps focus light on the retina, which sends images to the brain to be “seen. ”That lens is ordinarily clear. But if the protein in the lens starts to clump together, a cataract begins to form and that lens begins to turn cloudy. This worsens over time, which means images lose sharpness and colors lose their intensity. A sky that would look light blue to a normal eye may seem brownish or overcast to a person with severe cataracts."

Eye Vitamins & Foods: Are You Getting Enough?1081 81 2484Diminishing eyesight might seem like an unavoidable annoyance as you get older, but with the right diet you can hold on to accurate vision for longer than you might think. For example, carrots and leafy green veggies are considered some of the best foods for your eyes because they provide antioxidants and eye vitamins, including vitamins C, E, A and zinc, along with carotenoids like lutein and zeaxanthin. These protect the eye’s macula, lens and cornea while also lowering free radical damage and inflammation, which destroy tissue in the eyes. As we get older, the eyes become more susceptible to damage caused by an unhealthy lifestyle and overactive immune system, which results in the body becoming flooded with defense cells and hormones that damage parts of the eyes. How can eye vitamins keep your eyes young and sharp into older age? The Age-Related Eye Disease Study, a clinical trial concluded in 2001 that was sponsored by the National Eye Institute, found that a poor diet was a major risk factor for age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. Obtaining plenty vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene and zinc were all found to significantly lower people’s risk, making them great natural treatments for macular degeneration and cataracts. ( 1)It’s been estimated that up to half of adults suffer from some sort of cataracts by the time they’re 75 years old. ( 2) Anti-inflammatory foods and those high in antioxidants have positive and preventative effects against eye-related disorders besides macular degeneration and cataracts too, including glaucoma, retinal nerve damage, loss of eye strength and partial vision loss."

For people who have cataracts, seeing through cloudy lenses is a bit like looking through a frosty or fogged-up window. Clouded vision caused by cataracts can make it more difficult to read, drive a car (especially at night) or see the expression on a friend's face. Most cataracts develop slowly and don't disturb your eyesight early on. But with time, cataracts will eventually interfere with your vision. At first, stronger lighting and eyeglasses can help you deal with cataracts. But if impaired vision interferes with your usual activities, you might need cataract surgery. Fortunately, cataract surgery is generally a safe, effective procedure. Symptoms Signs and symptoms of cataracts include: Clouded, blurred or dim vision Increasing difficulty with vision at night Sensitivity to light and glare Need for brighter light for reading and other activities Seeing \"\"halos\"\" around lights Frequent changes in eyeglass or contact lens prescription Fading or yellowing of colors Double vision in a single eye At first, the cloudiness in your vision caused by a cataract may affect only a small part of the eye's lens and you may be unaware of any vision loss.

"text": "\"Cataracts Overview A cataract is a clouding of the eye's normally clear lens, leading to a progressive blurring or dimming of vision. It is the world’s leading cause of blindness and among the most common conditions related to aging – by age 65, you have a 50 percent chance of developing a cataract and by age 75, it jumps to 70 percent. Cataracts can also result from injury, chronic eye diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa and ailments such as diabetes, or past use of corticosteroid medications or radiation treatments. Some researchers believe that lifestyle habits such as smoking and not wearing sunglasses to protect eyes against ultraviolet light are also risk factors. A cataract occurs when proteins in the lens begin to clump together, forming a cloudy area. As these clumps grow, they interfere with vision by distorting or blocking the passage of light. Many cataracts begin to form in your 40s or 50s, but don’t affect vision until years later. Cataracts can occur in infants, usually the result of an infection during pregnancy such as toxoplasmosis, rubella, syphilis or herpes simplex. In children, a cataract can also result from metabolic disease. There are three primary types: Nuclear cataracts are the most common, typically known as “age-related cataract.”"

Over the age of 65, we all have a 1 in 4 chance of developing vision loss. With these odds, chances are you probably know someone who lives with vision loss right now. Some basic information helps to better understand the loss of vision. It is important to remember that any two people, even with the same visual condition, may be affected differently and that a person’s vision may fluctuate from day to day. Cataracts When the lens—the part of the eye directly behind the pupil—becomes opaque, a cataract has developed. This clouding usually occurs first in the central vision and then extends outward. Blurry vision, double images or intolerance to bright sunlight can be signs of developing cataracts. Cataracts associated with aging are the most common. There also are cataracts that exist at birth, secondary cataracts due to disease and cataracts that follow injury to the eye."

"text": "Categories: All All > Chicken Facts All > Chicken Health > Not Laying Q: At what age do hens start laying eggs? A: On average, pullets, or juvenile hens, start laying eggs at about 6 months of age, depending on the breed. Larger, heavier birds like Wyandottes, Plymouth Rocks and Orpingtons will lay on the later side whereas lighter, smaller breeds like Leghorns, Stars, and Australorps will start laying sooner. However, if your birds come into maturity at the coldest, darkest part of the year, they will sometimes not begin laying until spring: six months is just the average! We guarantee you that every day past five months that they haven't begun to lay will seem like an eternity! There are a number of reasons your chickens might not be laying, though, so if you suspect there's something more to it than this, have a look at this list of other possible reasons your chickens aren't laying.

"text": "Raising Chickens for Egg Production Small and Backyard Flocks May 05, 2015Written by: Dr. Jacquie Jacob, University of Kentucky If you plan to start or have started raising chickens for egg production, you need to understand flock production capabilities. You need to know how to gauge the number of eggs your flock can produce and be aware of the variables that affect egg production. You should be able to identify which hens are laying and determine why your hens are not laying. By having a firm grasp of these factors, you will help ensure the success of your flock. Production Expectations and Variables Affecting Production A hen can lay only one egg in a day and will have some days when it does not lay an egg at all. The reasons for this laying schedule relate to the hen reproductive system. A hen’s body begins forming an egg shortly after the previous egg is laid, and it takes 26 hours for an egg to form fully. So a hen will lay later and later each day. Because a hen’s reproductive system is sensitive to light exposure, eventually the hen will lay too late in a day for its body to begin forming a new egg. The hen will then skip a day or more before laying again."

"text": "\"How Long Does It Take for Chickens to Mature? By Jen Davis | Updated August 11, 2017Generally speaking, chickens are said to be adults when they reach the point of sexual maturity and begin laying eggs. This typically occurs when the chickens are between 16 and 24 weeks of age, depending on breed, but even some individuals within a breed will develop more quickly or slowly than others. The ballpark age for when a young chicken is considered mature is 18 weeks. The Egg Laying Process The life cycle of a chicken starts when an egg is formed within the body of a hen. The yolk forms inside the ovary, travels through the oviduct by way of the hen's vagina. The entire development and egg laying process takes 25 to 26 hours per egg. Once an egg has been laid, it will take approximately 21 days after incubation begins to hatch into a fully developed chick. Healthy baby chicks are covered in soft downy feathers; their eyes are open when they hatch. Chick Growth and Development Baby chicks shed their down and begin developing actual feathers when they are between 3 and 6 weeks old."

Check for these limitations with your city: Size of Flock Roosters Many times roosters are not allowed because they are the ones to make noise."

The benefits you earn based on your own work history are your primary benefits. Benefits that a family member may claim from your record are called auxiliary benefits.

Introduction for VA compensation payments The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) pays compensation payments based on a service-connected disability or death. VA compensation payments may or may not be a needs-based benefit.1. Disability compensation Veterans are eligible for disability compensation when they have disabilities that result from diseases or injuries incurred or aggravated during active military service. VA graduates the disability compensation benefit amount according to the degree of a veteran’s disability on a scale from 10 to 100 percent (in increments of 10). NOTE: VA disability compensation payments are not a needs-based benefit.2. Surviving spouse Dependency Indemnity Compensation (DIC)The VA provides monthly surviving spouse DIC payments to surviving spouses and surviving children of veterans who died during military service or after discharge from military service because of a service-connected disability. NOTE: Surviving spouse DIC payments are not a needs-based benefit.3. Surviving child DICThe VA provides monthly surviving child DIC payments to independent surviving children of veterans who died during military service or after discharge from military service because of a service-connected disability. Independent means a surviving child is independent of the surviving spouse of a deceased veteran (e.g., the surviving child is no longer in the custody of the surviving parent or the surviving parent is deceased). An independent surviving child receives VA benefits on his or her own award."

"text": "Dan Caplinger ( TMFGalagan)Jun 3, 2016 at 5:01PMImage source: Social Security Administration. Most people think of Social Security as primarily offering benefits to workers in retirement. Yet what many are surprised to learn is that children can receive Social Security benefits under certain circumstances. In particular, benefits for children are available as dependent benefits under the regular Social Security program, or as SSI disability benefits under the Supplemental Security Income program for children with disabilities. Below, we'll go through the various situations that make Social Security benefits for children available and what you have to do to get the payments you deserve. Children's benefits under regular Social Security Qualifying children are generally able to receive children's benefits under Social Security if their parents receive either retirement benefits or disability benefits. In order to qualify, the child must be unmarried, and generally must be under age 18. There are two exceptions to the age requirement, with high-school students allowed to keep receiving benefits even if they are 18 or 19 years old, and disabled children have no age limit if their disability occurred before they turned 22. Adopted children and stepchildren are eligible, as are dependent grandchildren under some circumstances. Children under Social Security get benefits equal to as much as half of the full amount the parent receives."

MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY BENEFITS1) What is the definition of disability? Disability is defined in the Social Security Act as the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.2) What is a Medically Determinable Impairment? Medically determinable impairment is an impairment that results from anatomical, physiological, or psychological abnormalities which can be shown by medically acceptable clinical and laboratory diagnostic techniques. A physical or mental impairment must be established by medical evidence consisting of signs, symptoms, and laboratory findings - not only by the individual's statement of symptoms.3) What determines who may be eligible for disability benefits? Under the Social Security Administration's (SSA) disability insurance program (title II of the Act), there are three basic categories of individuals who may be able to qualify for benefits on the basis of disability:a disabled insured worker under the age of 65;a person who became disabled before age 22 who is a dependent of a deceased insured parent or a parent entitled to title II disability or retirement benefits; anda disabled widow or widower age 50-60 if the deceased spouse was insured under Social Security. Under title XVI, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), there are two basic categories under which a financially needy person can get payments on the basis of disability:an adult age 18 or over who is disabled anda child (under age 18) who is disabled.4) What is the difference between title II and title XVI? Title II provides for payment of disability benefits to individuals who are \"\"insured\"\" under the Act by virtue of their contributions to the Social Security Trust Fund through the Social Security tax on their earnings, as well as to certain disabled dependents of insured individuals. Title XVI provides for SSI payments to individuals (including children under age 18) who are disabled and have limited income and resources. SSI is not the same as Social Security, even though the program is run by the SSA."

Children of disabled, retired or deceased parents may receive Social Security benefits, which are intended to help families provide for their children through high school.

"text": "\"Adult Children With Disabilities Can Qualify For Benefits on Parents' Work Records Although the typical Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) recipient has worked for a fairly long time before the onset of his disabling condition, an adult who became disabled before turning 22 can also qualify for SSDI if she has a parent who meets certain qualifications. SSDI is a federal program primarily designed to aid people who have become disabled after having worked for a certain amount of time. Unlike Supplemental Security Income (SSI), SSDI is not a needs-based program, which means that there are no income and asset restrictions. Instead, a beneficiary typically has to have paid into the Social Security system for at least 10 years prior to his disability. An SSDI benefit depends on the beneficiary's income before he became disabled, the size of his family, and the amount he paid into the Social Security system. Finally, SSDI recipients can receive Medicare two years after qualifying for SSDI. Most people who have a serious disability before turning 22 are not able to assemble the necessary work record to qualify for SSDI on their own. But people in this situation may instead be able to qualify for SSDI on their parents' work record, in certain situations. First, the \"\"adult disabled child\"\" (the Social Security Administration's (SSA) term for a person with a disability that manifested itself before age 22) must be completely disabled according to the SSA's adult disability standards. Second, the disability must have occurred before the potential beneficiary turned 22."

Coordinating the Survivor Benefit With Your Own Benefit The Survivor Benefit is exclusive of the surviving spouse’s own retirement benefit. If the surviving spouse is eligible for a retirement benefit that is greater than the Survivor Benefit, only the greater of the two will be payable. Technically the surviving spouse can choose between the two benefits, if he or she is eligible for both at the same time. This can work to the surviving spouse’s advantage if the Survivor Benefit was taken early. By starting the Survivor Benefit early, the Surviving Spouse could wait to take his or her retirement benefit, allowing this retirement benefit to earn the delayed retirement credits up to age 70."

Because they are common, inexpensive, and have been around for a long time, people tend to think of a Budgie as boring. Nothing can be further from the truth. Some of the coolest birds I have known have been Budgies. I grew up with a Budgie, who lived to be 13. At the time that was fairly remarkable, but nowadays with improved diet and veterinary care, Budgies commonly live into their teens. They are full of energy, playful and clownish, with a bit of a mischievous side. They are easy for children to handle, if brought up around children who handle them regularly. Budgies' beaks are small enough that they may pinch a bit when they bite, but you can basically ignore it. They are very personable, and the males make quite good talkers if purchased when they are young and worked with."

"text": "Parrot Mutations & Geneticsby Heike Ewing Ott Genetics as it relates to colors in parrots is a fun and interesting subject — especially once you understand the basics. The following article explains some common terms such as split, recessive, cinnamon, lutino and more. Why do you refer to some color mutations as “split”. It would be interesting for someone to explain the terminology for the different colors. The green color of many parrots is composed of blue and yellow, one of which (I -think- it’s the blue) is the result of the structure of the feather, and the other, presumably the yellow if I’m remembering correctly, is the actual -color- of the feather. Combined, they make the bird look green. Since a different gene is responsible for each, any green species of parrot could produce individuals that are missing the yellow gene, resulting in a blue bird, and others that are missing the blue gene, resulting in a yellow bird. Cinnamons have a weaker “blue” gene, producing a lighter and yellower green bird. With me? Cockatiels, on the other hand, get their grey color from the pigment melanin in their feathers (the same stuff that turns your skin dark when you tan), and the yellow and orange are feather color."

Share this conversation Answered in 2 hours by: 11/13/2008Bird Specialist: Anna Hello, Your parakeet isn't ill, but excessive egg-laying isn't good for her. One thing you can try is to let her have a nest box for her eggs. Be sure to provide her with plenty of calcium. She'll stop laying when she has a clutch and will set on the eggs. Many birds know after three weeks that the eggs won't hatch, and will leave the nest. If she doesn't, you can remove the nest while she's eating. This is sometimes enough to break the cycle of egg-laying. It can also help to provide lots of toys and interesting things to do in her cage. Give her only part of her toys at a time, and change them every week."

I believe it isn't fair to let a pet bird go unclipped. I clip wings of all my pet birds and those I sell as pets, for their safety. Can you imagine the heartbreak you would feel if your pet cockatiel flew into the ceiling fan, a tub full of hot water, or worse yet, out an open door or window never to be seen again? Remember, your bird is domestic and is not accustomed to having to find it's own food or fight off larger animals. You can easily clip your cockatiels wings without the aid of others. Clipping wings will reduce your bird's ability to fly. This in turn can make the taming process easier. With your bird's wings properly clipped, it won't be as apt to fly out an open door or window accidentally. Many pet birds have been lost forever due to being fully flighted."

Hints of a turquoise sheen can be seen on the bird during overcast days. When the bird is in full flight, the wings and tail feathers will showcase a bright yellow that is only visible underneath the parrot when in flight. Their beaks are cherry red and mature ringnecks will have yellow and black eyes. These birds are sexually dimorphic, which means the birds can visibly be sexed by reviewing their colored feathers. The males develop a black ring between 18 months and by three years the ring is highlighted with pink and blue. The females do not have the ring; however, they do show a lighter green ring that can be seen upon closer inspection. The normal green Indian Ringneck today has been bred to encompass many mutations. These birds can be purchased in solid colors such as blue, yellow, white, or gray. Along with these solid colors, there are many other mutations such as cobolts, clear tails, pieds, cinnamons, and lacewings just to name a few."

"text": "\"For anyone interested in breeding birds, whether they be a novice or boast years of experience, I think the Quaker is an excellent choice for many reasons. We have found that they are, by far, the easiest of all birds to breed. For one, the cost associated with starting a hobby or business of breeding birds will be considerably less, due to the availability of these birds and their very reasonable purchase price. And unlike some other birds who can be unusually \"\"picky\"\", a Quaker will usually bond quite closely with any mate provided to them---the only minor problem being that to provide a suitable mate, you will almost certainly have to have them surgically sexed or DNA tested to ensure that you do indeed have both a male and a female! If money and space permits, a simpler way to pair Quakers (although not 100% reliable every time) is to buy several youngsters, put them all together in a large flight cage, provide several Cockatiel or conure-sized nest boxes and let them pair up naturally. Quakers generally have no problems with picking a suitable mate. Also, Quakers are sexually mature in as little as 12 to 18 months of age, meaning that even if you purchase them quite young and keep them as pets in your home, you won't have long to wait before you have potential parents. If you choose to breed them in a colony environment, their group nesting behavior is especially interesting, with their huge communal nest providing a spectacular display for any aviary. The increasing demand for Quakers as their popularity continues to grow is another reason they are an excellent choice, and their ability to withstand extreme temperatures makes breeding them a viable option for almost anyone, regardless of the climate. The following information that we are providing on breeding is based mostly on our personal experiences and is in no way intended as a complete and comprehensive guide to breeding and raising Quakers."

About Cockatiels Cockatiels are dainty, smallish parrots that are part of the family Cacatuinae. They typically grow to between 11 and 14 inches in length. As far as plumage coloration goes, cockatiels are frequently gray, white or yellow, although with prominent and bright orange blots. However, many diverse color mutations of the species also exist, whether snow-white albinos, \"\"gold cheeks\"\" or any of numerous other varieties. Their temperaments are often companionable and pleasant, and they are adept at copying voices and other sounds. Out in the wild, cockatiels tend to gravitate away from coastal regions. They are not big fans of thick woodlands and seem to appreciate airy settings. Common habitats for them include farming sites, savannas and scrubland."

"text": "Pets Birds Trimming a Cockatiel’s Wing Feathers Trimming a Cockatiel’s Wing Feathers You can give your cockatiel varying amounts of flight capability depending on the amount of feathers you clip on her wings. With cockatiel chicks who haven’t mastered flying, it’s a good idea to gradually clip their wings. Cockatiels who learn to fly, land, and use their bodies to move about a cage are surer of themselves when they’ve lost the ability to fly. For this reason, start by clipping just the two outer flight feathers on each wing of a cockatiel who is just learning to fly. The cockatiel will be slowed down but will still fly quite well. About a week later, clip the next two feathers. The next week, clip the next two feathers, and so on. With this schedule, by the time a cockatiel is grounded, she will have gradually lost the ability to fly and gotten progressively better at controlling her mobility. She’ll still confidently hop about a cage and will know how to land. Ideally a breeder will use this method of clipping before you ever get your bird."

Holes in trees aren't usually accessible to cockatiels who live indoors. Once cockatiels mate, nests become an immediate requirement. Appropriate Nest Boxes While nest boxes that are suitable for cockatiels can be purchased from many pet supply stores, the DIY approach also works well. Look around your home for a clean cardboard box that is 1 foot both in length and width. As far as height goes, boxes that are between 1 foot and 16 inches usually work well. Make sure to add a square aperture to the box that has a diameter of about 4 inches, as these function as doors. Wood boxes of similar sizes also work well.

Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images I f your dog spends any time outdoors, mosquito bites may put him at risk for heartworm infection. The key to preventing heartworm disease is knowing when to begin treatment and maintaining a constant defense against these parasites. Prevention Typically, you should begin heartworm treatment in puppies around 6 to 8 weeks of age, although some heartworm preventatives are suitable for even younger dogs. Once a dog reaches 6 months of age, however, you should not begin a preventative cycle without first having your dog tested for infection. Heartworm preventatives require your dog to be heartworm-free in order to avoid a potential anaphylactic reaction. Frequency The frequency of heartworm medication depends on where you live. In northern climates, you may need to give your dog heartworm preventives only in the spring and summer, when mosquitoes are active in your region. In the South, and particularly near the Mississippi River, mosquitoes can be a year-round nuisance, so vets generally recommend giving preventives year round. Consult with your vet to work out a prevention plan tailored to protect your pet."

Photo via David Fulmer Maybe, but chances are this is probably not safe if you're doing this sort of thing on a long term basis. Why? The reason why you should not split your dog's heartworm prevention pills is quite simple."

"text": "Jun 29, 2013Are drug companies honest about Heartworm? By Dr. Peter Dobias, DVMIn health-knowledge... Shares Holistic look at heartworm prevention A few days ago, one of my friends living in Vermont called me. She was wondering what I thought about heartworm prevention. She asked me to help her determine if the monthly administration of heartworm preventive medication is really necessary. The question threw me back to the 90s when heartworm prevention drug manufacturers decided to take North America by storm. I remember the drug reps visiting vet clinics on a regular basis telling us that it was only a matter of time and heartworm would be widespread in Canada. These visits were also accompanied by a subtle suggestion that selling heartworm tests and preventive drugs could be a significant source of income for the practice. As time progressed, the heartworm doom and gloom scenario didn’t happen and the risk of heartworm infection in my area was clearly exaggerated. On the basis of my findings, I made the decision not to recommend heartworm preventive drugs in the area of my practice because the risk was practically zero and administering any drugs is never optimal. In reality, no one can be absolutely certain if preventive medication doesn’t increase the tendency to chronic disease, organ failure or even cancer down the road."

The other type of worm that is of main concern to dog owners is heartworm since it can invade the heart and circulatory system. Other types of worms includes those that invade the lungs and kidneys such as flatworms. Digestive tract worms can trigger symptoms ranging from no symptoms (asymptomatic) to dogs that show symptoms such as weight loss and diarrhea. All four digestive tract worms can be spread from one dog to another. There is also a risk of hookworms and roundworms being transmitted to humans. Most puppies are born with roundworms from the mother while adult dogs contract worms from feces. The one exception is the tapeworm which is spread through an ingested flea. Each type of parasite (another name for worms) has its own characteristics which can be helpful in worm identification. Worms vary in size and how they effect your dog."

May 29| See Comments Like with everything, there are good things and bad things about getting your pet a heartworm shot. Heartworm prevention is vital in keeping your pet safe, healthy and happy. However, there are many different preventatives available on the market. Learn more about the heartworm shot here in order to help you decide if it is the best option for you and your pet. Heartworms are parasites transmitted by mosquitoswho leave a larval form of the parasite behind when they bite. When the heartworms reach adulthood, they travel to the lungs, and if left untreated, can cause a whole host of health problems that threaten your pet’s survival. That is why most people choose to give their pets heartworm preventatives like Heartgard or Sentinel for dogs. Dogs tend to be targeted by heartworms more often than cats, and because of this, treatment for heartworm disease is only available for dogs. However, preventative measures are available to both dogs and cats, and according to the American Heartworm Society (AHS), prevention is much safer and much less costly than treatment."

Trifexis kills fleas and prevents flea infestations, treats and controls hookworms, whipworms and roundworms, and prevents heartworm disease. Trifexis is for use in dogs and puppies 8 weeks of age or older and 5 pounds of body weight or greater. If you do not administer Trifexis monthly throughout the year, the final dose must be given no fewer than three months following the last exposure to mosquitoes. Q: Why has my veterinarian prescribed Trifexis? Your veterinarian has prescribed Trifexis as a way of preventing your dog from developing problems caused by infection with three commonly occurring parasite categories. Heartworm infection can make dogs very sick and can even be fatal. This parasite is spread to dogs by mosquitoes. Trifexis can prevent flea infestations from becoming established, and can also remove any fleas that are on your dog at the time of treatment."

"text": "Dogs > Puppies Heartworm Medication for Puppies Heartworm medication effectively treats adult heartworms and prevents the development of new worms in the pet’s body. Your puppy can suffer from heartworms if he gets bitten by an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes generally carry heartworm larvae and transmit them to pets through bites. Although most pets are required to undergo a heartworm blood test before they’re given any preventive medications, pets that are 6 to 8 weeks of age don’t have to do this test in order to take the medication. Heartworms in Puppies Once the larvae are deposited into the pet’s body they migrate and develop into adult worms. The heart is the organ that’s targeted as these parasites thrive on the lining of the heart. To prevent this from happening you should start administering heartworm preventive medications as soon as your pet becomes 6 to 8 weeks old. There are several over the counter heartworm preventive medications that are available commercially. However, you should find out which medication is ideal for your pet as some puppies may be sensitive to certain active ingredients that are present in heartworm drugs. You could also consider administering preventive medications that prevent and control both worm and flea infections."

"text": "Dog Worms: A to Zby Fred Lanting, Breeder/Judge/Organic Chemist First, you need to know what kinds of worms animals get, how worms develop, and how to keep your pets free from intestinal parasites. Most worms (nematodes) settle and grow in the small intestine, though some species are found in the cecum, heart, lung, and other tissues in various stages of development. The intestinal nematodes produce eggs, which are carried with the digestive products to exit in the feces. But since the egg-laying does not always coincide with the dog’s bowel movements, stool samples may not show the presence of worms. A 5 day sampling will probably reveal some eggs if hookworms or roundworms are present, but tapeworms or whipworms may still escape detection. For this reason, many breeders rely instead on outward signs of poor coat, flatulence and/or diarrhea, loss of weight, and an abnormal look or smell to the stool. In many breeds, the topcoat should lie flat, straight, and smooth, giving a water resistant thatch over the softer undercoat and skin. If these coarse, straight guard hairs stand up and out, or if the ends curl out away from the body, it may be a temporarily “open” condition due to worms. Lustre and texture also is gone, and the feel is rough and dry, the natural lubrications being lost when worms take their tariff from the intestinal lining’s rich supply of blood vessels, or otherwise interfere with normal absorption of nutrients. In this article you will see the word anthelmintics, which is the more accurate word for “wormer,” “worm medicine,” etc."

Some worms can be tolerated in small numbers, but in high numbers can create serious problems. Generally a dog should be treated every six months for roundworms and tapeworms. They are the most common, with roundworm being the bigger problem. Puppies should be treated starting at 2 to 3 weeks of age and every 2 weeks after until the puppy reaches about 3 months old as advised by your vet with vet recommended medicine.

Lufenuron, the other active ingredient, is an insect development inhibitor that breaks the flea life cycle by inhibiting egg development. Lufenuron prevents most flea eggs from hatching or maturing into adults and thus prevents and controls flea populations by breaking the life cycle.

Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal disease in pets in the United States and many other parts of the world. It is caused by foot-long worms (heartworms) that live in the heart, lungs and associated blood vessels of affected pets, causing severe lung disease, heart failure and damage to other organs in the body. Heartworm disease affects dogs, cats and ferrets, but heartworms also live in other mammal species, including wolves, coyotes, foxes, sea lions and—in rare instances—humans. Because wild species such as foxes and coyotes live in proximity to many urban areas, they are considered important carriers of the disease. Dogs. The dog is a natural host for heartworms, which means that heartworms that live inside the dog mature into adults, mate and produce offspring.

In their third year, the elks will grow a set of 4-5 point, lightweight antlers, and continue to grow more points in the following years. The average elk antlers have about 6 points per side. Some elk bucks grow antlers with up to 10 points on each side, weighing up to 40 lbs., and measuring up to 5 ft in length.

Photo USFWS/Tupper Blake M any deer hunters and wildlife watchers eagerly search the woods in winter and early spring for sheds, the discarded antler racks from buck deer. People sometimes call these horns, but these are antlers, not horns. Antlers are temporary projections of bone grown and shed each year. Though the bone looks quite solid, it has a honeycombed structure at the microscopic level. Antlers arise from a pair of pedicels, knobby, skin-covered nubs atop the buck's skull. The pedicles are the “buttons” between the ears of a buck fawn. Pedicels are permanent structures and are the point at which the antlers break off and regenerate. Antlers are found only on cervids, such as deer, elk, moose and caribou. They are generally found only on males, but both male and female caribou have antlers."

"text": "\"White-tailed Deer Wildlife Note PDFThe white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus, was so named because the underside of its tail is covered with white hair, and when it runs it often holds its tail erect so that the white undersurface is visible. Whitetails belong to the Cervidae family, which in North America includes the elk, moose, caribou and mule deer. Cervids are split-hoofed mammals with no incisor teeth in the front of the upper jaw. They are classed as ruminant animals, meaning they have a four-chambered stomach and frequently chew a \"\"cud.\"\" Adult male whitetails grow and shed a set of antlers each year. On rare occasions, females also grow antlers. Whitetails are the most widely distributed large animal in North America. They are found throughout most of the continental United States, southern Canada, Mexico, Central America and northern portions of South America as far south as Peru. White-tailed deer are common throughout Pennsylvania. The species is absent from much of the western United States, including Nevada, Utah and California (though its close relatives, the mule deer and black-tailed deer, can be found there)."

Matt Knox Deer Project Coordinator Antlers are found on all members of the deer family (Cervidae) in North America including deer, elk, caribou, and moose. Caribou are the only species in which antlers are typically found on females. Antlers are often called “horns” by deer hunters, but they are not. Horns are found on sheep, goats, and cows and are formed from hair-like tissue that grows over a bony core. Horns are typically not shed, and some species, like big horn sheep, can be aged by counting the annual growth rings on their horns. Unlike horns, antlers are true bone and are composed primarily of calcium and phosphorus and are deciduous. Deciduous means antlers are dropped or shed and grown anew each and every year. They grow from pedicels located on the frontal bone of the skull. The pedicels which begin growing at a couple months of age in buck fawns provide the base from which the antler will grow."

A bull (male) elk's antlers may reach 4 feet above its head, so that the animal towers 9 feet tall. Preparation for Breeding Season Bull elk lose their antlers each March, but they begin to grow them back in May in preparation for the late-summer breeding season. In early summer, elk migrate to high mountain grazing grounds where the cows (females) will give birth. Each cow typically has a single calf, which can stand by the time it is 20 minutes old. Antlers and Mating During the late summer breeding season the bugling of bull elk echoes through the mountains. These powerful animals strip the velvet off their new antlers using them in violent clashes that determine who gets to mate with whom."

They live in all locations except for Antarctica where it is too cold. They also don’t live in Australia but there isn’t really a known reason why. Only one species of them lives in all of Africa. The most popular types of deer include elk, White Tail Deer, moose, and caribou. To help simplify things there are five main categories of species of deer that have been identified. They include the White Tailed Deer, Caribou, Elk, Moose, and Mule Deer. Those are the ones that we will cover here. Of course you should also consider doing more research on your own to evaluate the various sub species that fall into each one of these categories. The White Tailed Deer is considered to be small in size."

They have a characteristic buff colored rump and long thin legs. The head, neck, belly, and legs are darker than the back and sides. Elk generally have a long head with large ears. The adult male, know as a buck, has widely branching antlers as long as 1 to 1.5 m from tip to tip (see photo). Where they live: Elk were once found throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere, from Europe through northern Africa, Asia, and North America. Extensive hunting and habitat destruction have limited elk to a portion of their former range. Elk populations in eastern North America were reduced as a result of over-hunting. Today large populations of elk in North America are found only in the western United States from Canada through the Eastern Rockies to New Mexico, and in a small region of the northern lower peninsula of Michigan. Elk prefer open woodlands and avoid dense unbroken forests."

"text": "\"Antler Hunting What is antler hunting? Male deer, elk and moose grow impressive antlers each year, some reaching impressive sizes by mating season in the fall. These antlers eventually fall off in the late winter/early spring, and the cycle begins again. The size of the antler rack usually gets larger each year as the animal grows and matures. The dropped antlers, or sheds, are sought by people who enjoy getting out for recreation and finding a 'treasure' and by people who sell the antlers to those who use them for commercial purposes. The activity of going out and searching for shed antlers is called antler hunting. For some people in Wyoming it is a casual sport, for others it is a competitive business. New laws related to antler hunting (updated March 2014) Wyoming Board of Land Commissioners Restrict Antler Hunting on State Lands West of the Continental Divide from January 1 – April 30At their October 4, 2012 meeting, the Wyoming Board of Land Commissioners approved a restriction prohibiting antler hunting on all parcels of land under the jurisdiction of the Board of Land Commissioners West of the Continental Divide, excluding the Great Divide Basin, from January 1 through April 30 of each calendar year. This restriction will begin on January 1, 2013. These lands are often referred to as “state lands” and are usually blue in color on land status maps."

When a monster steps out, a hunter often has no time to count antler points, much less compute scores. But not always. Sometimes there’s ample chance to really focus and size up an elk in your search for the bull of a lifetime. Will you know a world-class trophy if you see one? “ All elk hunters are fascinated by antlers, but not everyone recognizes what it takes to grow trophies. Big headgear is a product of genetics, age and nutrition provided by great habitat,” said David Allen, president and CEO of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. “ Learning to field judge antlers will help you understand even more about the elk you’re looking at, whether it’s one for the record books—or one to let walk away and grow up.” RMEF offers the following general guidelines adapted from material provided by Boone and Crockett Club.

The United States' share in the global market place continues to grow as more venison availability is stimulating more aggressive marketing. Some traditional crop and livestock producers are turning to deer farming as an excellent way to start a new enterprise that diversifies their existing operation in a lower-input and more environmentally sound manner. Deer farming also is an expandable enterprise that can be transitioned into with moderate land and capital investments, and species that fit individual interests and business aims. Additionally, many deer farm businesses combine some sort of farming operation and a tourism component that may incorporate leisure activities or educational activities for school groups and other interested parties. This may include an educational outreach program for family, church or school groups; an associated trout pond for fishing or an aquaculture fish production system; bed and breakfast lodging; and in some cases, contract hunting of deer (cervids) or game birds in a preserve setting. As with all other agritourism operations, the emphasis is on a quality experience in a clean, well-organized environment. Venison, or deer meat, is the primary product produced by most deer farmer/ranchers. In the United States, the venison market currently is in a developmental stage."

Some specific references are noted within the text. Caribou Migration Caribou Biology Caribou Migration Why are some Porcupine Caribou herd calves born in Canada or the mountains? In spring the Porcupine caribou herd migrates hundreds of miles from winter ranges located south of the Brooks Range in Alaska, and from areas in Yukon Territory, to its traditional calving grounds on the Arctic Refuge's coastal plain and foothills. In years when there's deep snow on the winter range and along the migration routes, and when the spring snow melt is delayed by cold temperatures, caribou cows are delayed in reaching these preferred calving grounds. When this happens, the calves are born along the migration routes and on calving habitats in Canada. This happened in 1987, 2000 and 2001. Sometimes caribou are not delayed during the spring migration, but when they arrive at the edge of the foothills they find it is still covered by snow because cold temperatures have delayed snow-melt. In this case, the cow caribou give birth in snow free or partially snow free areas to the south, near or in the northern mountain valleys."

A t what age can a heifer be bred and a bull sire a calf? I keep my weaned calves together in one pasture up until they're about a year old and was wondering if there was any chance of them breeding to each other”. **************************************************************************************** At what age does a heifer reach puberty? Heifers can reach puberty and start to ovulate at a very early age sometimes as young as 4 months old. The average age though is about one year old at which time she is capable of conceiving. In rare instances a heifer can conceive naturally at a much earlier age which is something producers don't plan or expect to happen. Recently, a C-Section was performed on a 14 ½ month old heifer which means that she was bred when she was around 5 to 5 ½ months old. In this particular situation the heifer wasn't weaned yet and more than likely her sire or a yearling bull in the same pasture bred her. It's rare for heifers to calve this young, but unfortunately it does happen."

This isolated, mountainous area (2000 to 6000ft) noted for its rough, rocky terrain and harsh, damp climate is characterised by poor soil and a wide range of temperatures throughout the summer and long winter. As the topography allowed for little cereal grain production, the Salers cattle were forced to become foragers with bred-in range-ability to utilise, almost entirely, native grasses in summer and hay in winter. The breed Salers is one of the oldest breeds in the world, with prehistoric cave paintings suggesting that a similar type of animal has been bred in the area for 7-10,000 years. The drawings were found near Salers, a small medieval town in the centre of France. Until modern times Salers cattle were respected not only as beef animals, but as milk producers for cheese products and were also used as strong sources of animal power. Photo courtesy of Rigel Pedigree, www.rigelpedigree.com The traditional management practice in the region was to join the cows to the bulls for a 45 day period in the spring and then walk the herds up to 100 kilometres into the surrounding mountains, where the herds were grazed on communal pastures for the summer without any bulls. Calves were kept shut in a pen. Twice daily each calf was brought from the pen and tied to the front leg of its mother while the cow stood un-tethered to be milked by hand. Some milk was left for the calf to suckle before the calf was re-penned."

Colloquially, the term \"\"cow\"\" is also in reference to the Bos primigenius species of domestic cattle, regardless of age, gender, breed or type. However for most people who work with or raise cattle, this term is not used in the same reference as previously noted. Bull: a mature, intact (testicles present and not removed) male bovine used for breeding purposes. Steer: a male bovine (or bull) that has been castrated before reaching sexual maturity and is primarily used for beef.

This writers intended purpose in presenting the following information is to make available information of specific nature, which will allow you the opportunity to satisfactorily determine if the prospective bull you are about to select is fertile, sub-fertile or sterile and get your cows pregnant on time. Also allow you to produce the type of cattle the consumer or breeder is searching for. A high fertile bull will impregnate 80% - 90% of the cows he services in the first 21 days of the breeding cycle. The sub-fertile bull will impregnate 60% - 75% in the first 21 days of the breeding cycle. A bull below the sub-fertile line can be as low as 10% conception. I will discuss each of these animals and the requirement for each category later. You can have a high fertile bull and not have the body conformation needed to pass on to the progeny."

"text": "During the past 50 years that AI has been practiced in the U. S. the fertility of virgin heifers has remained relatively constant at approximately 65% first service conception; whereas, the first service conception rate for lactating cows has decreased approximately 33% from 60 to 40%. Conception per insemination is the outcome resulting from a multitude of factors that interact in an intricate fashion. Female fertility, male fertility, environmental factors, and techniques used in AI are the four general categories that determine the ultimate outcome of conception per insemination. Female fertility refers to any factors directly related to the heifer/cow that may alter her probability of becoming pregnant, including condition of the reproductive tract, nutritional status, changes in body condition from calving to insemination, age, and breed. Male fertility can not be controlled by the dairy producer; however, Estimated Relative Conception Rate or ERCR values calculated by the Dairy Records Management Systems in Raleigh, NC can be used to eliminate low conception rate sires (bulls with ERCR values less than -3). There is a greater reduction in fertility during the summer for lactating cows than for non-lactating heifers. High milk yield intensifies the effects of heat stress on conception and is related to increased metabolic rates and decreased thermoregulatory ability for cows with high milk yield. When a cow is exposed to temperatures above 75°F her rectal temperature increases 0.03°F for each 2 lbs of fat-corrected milk she produces above 55 lbs per day. The fourth category is techniques involved with AI and include accuracy of heat detection, timing of insemination, and semen handling and placement in the reproductive tract. What is normal?"

Your cow will provide you with milk, cheese and butter if you take good care of her. Cows are hardy animals that can help you to make a quick buck by selling their dairy products. Steps1 Choose your cow: There are many suitable breeds of cows that can be used for milking. Holstein Fresian: These cows are most commonly found in commercial dairy farms since they tend to produce the highest quantity of milk. Jerseys: This breed is the second-most common dairy breed in North America, and is recognized for its high quantity of butterfat in the milk these cows produce. Jerseys are beautiful, gentle creatures (except for the bulls) and are relatively easier to manage and care for than Holsteins, though some Jerseys can be kickers when it comes to milking time. Other common breeds to consider for personal dairying are Brown Swiss, Milking Devons, Milking Shorthorns, Dexters, Red Polls, Guernseys and Ayrshires.2 Care taking: Like all animals, your cow needs food, water, shelter and space enough to move around at her free will. Depending on where you live, you will need adequate shelter for her to spend the night in and to go to during adverse weather conditions. A shed or barn is favorable for this."

"text": "\"Cattle Breeds - Dairy Shorthorn Dairy Shorthorn History The Shorthorn breed of cattle has evolved over the last two centuries, from Teeswater and Durham cattle found originally in the North East of England in the Tees river valley and Durham. In the late 18th Century two brothers, Charles and Robert Colling started to improve these Durham cattle using line breeding techniques established so successfully by Robert Bakewell on Longhorn cattle. In 1783 Charles Colling found four particular cows recorded as Duchess, Cherry, Strawberry, and Old Favourite among others, and at the same time his brother Robert had noticed the superiority of calves in the local market bred from a bull known as Hubback, which he subsequently bought for £8. It was a combination of these bloodlines, which led to the birth of the bull Comet bred by Charles Colling in 1804, and later sold at the Ketton sale in 1810 for 1,000gns. This was the first 1,000 guinea bull ever recorded, but the wisdom of this bid was later to be justified by his progeny and he has since become a legend in cattle breeding. The breed was used in the early part of the 20 th Century, primarily as a dual purpose breed, but specialisation for beef and milk led to the beef breeders starting their own section of the herd book in 1958. The dairy breeders sought to improve the dairy aspect of their animals, and a blending scheme to introduce outside blood from other breeds was introduced in 1970. Some breeders did not wish to participate in this scheme, and so there is now quite a diversity of type within the Shorthorn breed. This diversity of type means that the Shorthorn can be used in a variety of different systems. In Ireland, the majority of Shorthorns are used for their suckler/beef capabilities, whereas in the UK the milking qualities of the breed have been developed."

"text": "\"Droughtmaster Best of Both Worldsphoto by: Jenny Underwood All information is provided by the Droughtmater Society of Australia Combining the best characteristics of both the British (Bos taurus) and Tropical (Bos indicus) breeds, the Droughtmaster produces high quality beef economically despite parasites, poor pasture ans climatic extremes. Droughtmaster was the name originally coined by a group of astute cattlemen in North Queensland for the breed of cattle which they evolved though cross-breeding Bos taurus and Bos indicus breeds to over come the perennial problems of drought, cattle ticks, heat, eye cancer and many other ailments. With Shorthorn, Devon and Zebu breeds as its base, the Droughtmaster is renowned for its high fertility, calving ease, heat tolerance, parasite resistance and quiet temperament. Tolerance to Adverse Conditions The Droughtmasters ability to forage ans walk long distances enables them to thrive where many other breeds can't. Originally developed to handle the extreme heat, humidity and parasites of North Queensland, the breed is providing itself an above average performer in all conditions. Even in the temperate areas of southern Australia where seasons are more reliable, the Droughtmaster is rapidly building a reputation for performing as well as the traditional British breeds in the good seasons, and outperforming them in the dry times which invariably come about. Their walking and foraging abilities are also great assets in the ranges and steep foothills that are a major feature of the eastern seaboard of Australia. Fertility The pioneer breeders of Droughtmasters made sure that cows which didn't calve each year were culled at every opportunity and this resulted in a highly fertile breed, with exceptional weaning percentages of 85% to 90% in the extensive production areas of northern Australia. Fertility was and still is, a most important characteristics - extra calves weaned will always have the greatest economic affect. Traits and Characteristics* High Fertility * Calving Ease * Hardiness * Docility * Resistance to Parasites * High Quality Lean Beef Production * High Libido * Easycare / Low Maintenance * Meat Quality The Droughtmaster can be either horned or polled (majority polled), they have sleek chestnut to red coats and show a moderate hump with deep even fleshing and a shallow fat cover."

Local adjustments and adaptations in some areas may be necessary due to differences in types of grass and cattle, amount of rainfall, length of growing season or other factors. Assistance in making these adjustments for local farms is immediately available to cattle producers by calling or visiting the county or area Extension office. J A N U A R YFall Calving Spring Calving If a high percentage of cows return to heat after 40 days of breeding, have bulls rechecked for fertility and cows and bulls examined for reproductive diseases by a veterinarian. Change bulls if necessary, and re-evaluate the nutrition program. Assign yearling bulls 15 to 20 cows, two- and three-year-olds 20 to 25, and aged bulls 25 to 40. Continue supplemental feeding of bulls, cows, and calves. If small grain pasture is available, adjust supplemental feeding to requirements of cows. If a creep feeding program is desired, limit-feed a high protein (30-40%) supplement, such as recommended in the Oklahoma Silver program.

This paper analyses and reports the views of pastoralists regarding reproduction, ecotypes, and breeding in dromedary camels in some selected villages of the Nigeria-Niger corridor. Two villages (Kursilla in Diffa Region and Gujjo in Zinder Region) in southeastern Niger Republic and one village (Garin Alkali in Yobe State) in northeastern Nigeria were purposively selected for this study. Data were collected using formal questionnaires and focus group discussion. Results showed that dromedary camels in the study area mate and calve during the early-dry season of October to December. Different signs used by pastoralists to detect rut, oestrus and pregnancy in camels were reported. Different camel ecotypes were defined based on coat colour. Though the dark-brown ecotype was the most preferred, camels in the study area were bred more towards an “ideal herd” rather than an “ideal animal”. This probably brings to light a survival strategy that supports pastoral life in a fragile ecosystem, which depends largely on the complementary performance of assortment of camel ecotypes in different seasons of the year. Overall, results show that pastoralists in the current study possess a repertoire of knowledge about their camels which, when harnessed and repackaged according to the peculiarities of their production environments, could enhance the efficiency of their production systems and livelihood."

Failure to detect estrus (heat) is a major factor contributing to low fertility. Approximately half of the heats are undetected on dairy farms in the United States. In addition, research based on levels of the hormone progesterone in milk shows that up to 15 percent of the cattle presented for insemination are not in heat. Failure to detect cows that are in heat and breeding cows not in heat result in economic loss for the producer because of extended calving intervals and additional semen expense. If a herd producing 16,000 pounds of milk per year and maintaining a 12.5 month calving interval is compared with the same herd maintaining a 13.5 month calving interval, the loss in potential milk alone is between $35 and $45 per cow per year, depending on milk price and feed costs. Therefore, poor heat detection is costly to the producer and should be considered the critical component of reproductive management. Efficient heat detection and timely insemination also are important to beef producers who use artificial insemination. Failure to detect estrus early in the breeding season or improper timing of insemination due to heat detection errors results in extended calving intervals and additional semen expense."

The pattern is inherited as the heterozygous genotype. The two homozygotes are white or colored. A relatively small proportion of the the white females are sterile due to a phenomenon known as White Heifer Disease. Because both of these breeds are usually also spotted, the roan only occurs in the areas where solid colored patches would have occurred. The heifer at the left above is an example of a roan Belgian Blue/Simmental crossbred. Note that she has white facial markings and some white spots and the roan has only occurred where the dark colored patches would normally have been. A Shorthorn roan heifer is pictured at the right.

( Many parts of the world today Angus cattle are known as Aberdeen-Angus) The first Angus bulls were brought to the United States in 1873 by George Grant, a native Scotsman, who brought four Angus bulls for use on his ranch near Victoria, Kansas. The Ankole-Watusi cattle is an ancient hybrid of long-horned, humpless domestic cattle from Egypt and longhorn Zebu from Pakistan and India. The mixture of these two breeds produced the Sanga breed which could be found in 2,000 B. C. E. in modern day Sudan, Uganda, Kenya, and other parts of eastern Africa, and became the base stock of many of the indigenous African breeds. In Uganda, the Nkole tribe's Sanga variety is known as the Ankole. In Rwanda and Burundi, the Tutsi tribe's Sanga variety is called the Watusi. Traditionally, Ankole-Watusi were considered sacred. The Ayrshire breed is originally from the County of Ayr in Scotland in the 17th century. During its development, first it was referred to as the Cunningham, secondly it was reffered to as the Dunlop, and now it is referred to as the Ayrshire. Its characteristics gradually became well enough established to consider it a distinct breed, and in 1786, the first Ayrshire show was sponsored by the Highland Agricultural Society."

"text": "�Converting the Beef Cow Herd to a Controlled Breeding Season 1Tim Wilson, Cindy Sanders, Mark Warren, Matt Hersom, and Curt Lacy 2Introduction Controlled breeding in beef cattle production is defined as developing specific predetermined strategies on when to begin and end a breeding season. The length of a controlled breeding season varies depending on factors such as the marketing objective, size of the operation, and personal preference. Some controlled breeding seasons last only a few weeks whereas others last several months. Although controlled breeding seasons have been recommended for a long time, approximately 45% of cow-calf operators in the Southeast United States continue to breed using a year-round breeding season (USDA 2010). Implementing a controlled breeding season to manage the length of the calving season is a cost-effective management practice that beef cattle producers can adopt (Troxel 2011). The advantages of establishing a controlled breeding season include the following (adapted from Triplett SR1005): Nutrition can be adjusted according to physiological status Cows can be closely observed for calving difficulty Calf crop will be more uniform in weight and age for marketing Application of management and labor can be concentrated Identification of reproductively unsound cows is facilitated How to Convert to a Controlled Breeding Season Beef cattle producers who use year-round breeding and would like to convert to a 90-day controlled breeding season can do so in a three- to four-year program. This conversion will involve choosing a final day for breeding. Cattle not pregnant after this date will be culled. Once a date has been determined, managers should assess production records and determine if a large number of cows will be culled. If so, it may be necessary to re-evaluate the breeding dates."

"text": "\"Featured Articles Minimizing Calving Difficulty in Beef Cattle18 September 2006By Pete Anderson, University of Minnesota. Contents Introduction Understanding the Causes of Dystocia Reducing Dystocia Summary Introduction Calving difficulty (dystocia) contributes heavily to production losses in beef cow/calf herds. A Nebraska study estimated that calving difficulty results in annual losses of $25 million in that state alone. The obvious losses are due to calves or cows that die at or soon after calving. Less noticeable losses are due to delayed rebreeding, more open females, an extended calving season and increased labor costs. While occasional dystocia is almost unavoidable, cattlemen can minimize dystocia through proper management. Control of both genetics and environment (nutrition) is necessary to minimize dystocia. As noted in Table 1, approximately 70% of the calves that are lost between birth and weaning are born dead or die within 24 hours of birth. Most of these losses are related to calving difficulty. Research at the U. S. Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) in Clay Center, Neb., has shown that calves that experience calving difficulty are about four times as likely to be born dead or die within 24 hours of birth than those born without difficulty (16 vs. 4%)."

After a girl gets her first period, she will typically grow about 1-2 more more inches in height. A girl will typically reach her full adult height by age 14 or 15 . This age could be younger or older depending on the age when she entered puberty. When do Girls Stop Growing? Girls do initially grow faster than boys, but it turns out, the age a girl stops growing is dependent on the age she enters puberty and gets her first period. Additionally, how tall a girl will be is ultimately controlled by genetics. There is a very broad range of age in which a girl enters puberty-related growth spurts. Many girls start puberty between ages of 8 and 13, and have a growth spurt between the ages of 10 and 14."

As the children step into their teens, their height increases pretty quickly and before you know it, they are of the same height as you. The height of girls can grow as fast as 8cm per year, while for boys this rate is even higher at 9cm per year. Perhaps this is the reason for the clumsiness associated with teenagers-- the minds of the teenagers can’t keep pace with their incredibly fast growing bodies. Read on to learn why teenage growth spurts happen and how to respond to it as a teenager yourself or as a parent. What Triggers Teenage Growth Spurts? Puberty is usually the reason behind the rapid rise in a teenager’s height. The increasing level of testosterone, also known as the sex hormone, does not only boost the development of the sexual organs in boys and girls, but is also the trigger which increases their height. The skeletal and developmental growth in teenagers is interrelated with each other meaning that you can easily get an idea about a teenager’s puberty by gauging the strength of the bones in his wrist.

Of course that doesn't mean you can't fulfil your genetic height potential - many people may have a 'programmed height' of 6 foot, but various factors during childhood might mean they inhibit their growth and not reach that potential, while others do reach their maximum. Most people by the age of 21 will have finished growing - it is rare for anybody to grow noticeably beyond that, but not impossible. Boys generally keep growing later than girls. Growth in your 20's If you're already in your 20's then the easiest way for you to grow taller is simply by purchasing lifts or elevator shoes. Sure, your barefoot height won't change, but how other people perceive you in public will - lifts might add anywhere from 1-1.5 inches and the wearing of elevator shoes certainly improves how you stand. Anything more than an extra 1-1.5 inches becomes impractical and would start to feel like you are wearing ladies high heels. There are a myriad of programs (and scammers who try to sell these programs by using Photos from Celebheights as 'Proof' of growth, pills or exercises out there that purport to increase your height - I used to have an exercise booklet for 'growing taller' that my Dad had from his own youth. All of the exercises you see today are basically the same ones that have been around for 60+ years. The claims in that old leaflet were rather hilarious - 'J Brown writes to tell us he gained 5 inches after 3 months of using the program' etc - absolute pie in the sky stuff."

"text": "\"By Margaret Renkl There are few issues that preoccupy new parents more than this: Is my baby growing normally? When the percentiles seem off-kilter, we worry -- but experts say there's rarely reason for concern. A growth chart can be used to monitor where a child's height and weight falls in relation to national averages. For starters, healthy kids come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, and they don't grow at a steady rate, either. Your child can look very different from your friends' kids -- or from his own siblings at the same age -- and still be completely normal. What influences growth At birth: A baby's size when he's born is based partly on genetics. Firstborns tend to be smaller than subsequent children because the uterus is smaller and tighter in first-time moms. Boys are larger than girls, and multiples, boys and girls, are smaller than average. Some environmental factors that can influence a newborn's size:• the mother's weight -- very heavy women tend to have larger babies• weight gain during pregnancy -- a very low gain (under ten pounds) usually means a smaller baby• whether or not Mom smokes or drinks a lot of caffeine -- both of which can limit an unborn baby's growth• a mom's chronic illness -- diabetics, for instance, often have very large babies. During the first two years: A baby's growth is based on a combination of her birth size and the size she's genetically programmed to be: A small newborn who's going to be a big child will grow faster in the first two years than a big baby who's going to be a small child."

The first change that the female will probably notice is the change in their breasts. Then you should get a cupped bra. Shortly after the breast development she will notice the beginning of pubic hair. Around 12 years old she will notice the growth of underarm hair and on their legs; shaving may be necessary around this age. The females menstrual period will most likely come between the ages of ten and 16 1/2. A period is when you pee blood. Once the female has her period, her ovaries will release an egg."

"text": "When Do Girls Stop Growing and What to Do to Grow Taller By Jenny Hills, Medical Writer and Researcher Health Girls experience growth spurts at the start of puberty and many parents may wonder when do girls stop growing. The rate of growth up until a girl reaches puberty at the age of 8 to 13 happens very gradually. However, with the onset of puberty, the body starts to release hormones which cause a growth spurt as well as many changes in a girl’s body. Generally, girls stop growing between the ages of 15 and 17. When Do Girls Stop Growing? Girls generally grow fast in height around the ages of 9-12. Girls experience their fastest growth spurts around the ages of 11 and 12. During this time a girl grows in height on average around 3 inches (7 – 8cm) per year. When a girl has her first period, around the age of 12, growth slows down a little and a girl will grow a few more inches. So, the majority of girls will stop growing and reach their final height when they are around the age of 17 years old."

It begins with the first signs of sexual development, about two years before menarche (for girls) or first ejaculation (for boys). The process continues for about another three years before the person reaches reproductive maturity. You don't say what you mean by \"\"puberty characteristics\"\". If you had first ejaculation at age 13, you should be finishing puberty about now. But if you just mean that your growth spurt began at 13, you should still have another two years of development ahead of you. And the inability to hold an erection for a long time is a very typical characteristic of young men. Physical growth does not always end at the same time as puberty. I've heard of young men continuing to grow taller even as late as 20 years old. If you're a later developer, it can seem that you'll never grow up and always be behind your friends."

There is no REAL EXACT DEFINITE age that your height growth stops, in Men or women. For some unfortunate people, it never stops. Men start puberty anywhere between 10 and 15 years old (and there are outliers in both directions). Puberty lasts usually 2-5 years (again, with outliers in both directions). So you could be going through a growth spurt potentially between the ages of 9 and 24 [1] [2]There are plenty of factors that go into when your puberty starts and how long it lasts, genetics, nutrition, and other environmental factors that we don't really know about yet. Studies performed on both fraternal twins (to try to control environmental issues), and identical twins (to try to control genetics) are constantly being performed to learn more about this. Here's a standard growth chart based on population averages: This is for boys aged 2 to 20. You can see how most boys grow pretty steadily until they're about 16 or 17 and then it tapers off.

So the chances are pretty good that most, if not all flock owners will at some stage find an irregular egg. This article is about the most common egg irregularities and problems and their causes. A few members have asked me if these odd eggs are safe to eat. That depends on the cause of the deformity/irregularity. Most of these eggs, though some may look rather unappetising, are perfectly safe for human consumption. If the cause of the deformity/irregularity is disease or treatment for disease/pest I would play it safe and discard the eggs rather as many drugs given to chickens leaves a residue in their eggs during the withdrawal period (usually 3 weeks). To help us understand these problems and how they occur, let's first look at how an egg is formed: How an Egg is Formed An egg is formed over a period of about 25 hours.

Hens and eggs Female chickens are called pullets for their first year or until they begin to lay eggs. For most breeds, around 20 weeks is a typical age for the first egg. Some breeds lay eggs daily, some every other day, some once or twice a week. Some individual hens never lay eggs, due to narrow pelvises or other anomalies. Normal laying routines can be interrupted by molting, winter daylight shortage, temperature extremes, illness, poor nutrition, stress, or lack of fresh water."

Generally, they begin laying around 18 weeks of age, but sometimes it will take longer for them to get started. They reach their peak production when they're about a year or 2 old, laying fewer eggs as they age. Breed Determines Weight Consider that the ideal weight for a Chihuahua is vastly different for a German shepherd. Just as a dog's target weight depends on his breed, a laying hen's target weight is determined by what kind of chicken she is. The size of laying hens varies widely, according to breed. Henderson's Chicken Breed Chart lists a wide array of chickens, starting as small as 3.5 pounds. The leghorn is a popular hen on the small size, weighing about 4.5 pounds. This lady matures early and regularly produces large white eggs, making her a popular layer."

"text": "If you want to hatch baby chicks from the eggs your hens lay, you'll definitely need to have a rooster around to fertilize the eggs. But if your goal is just to increase the egg production from your backyard flocks, a rooster won't do anything to increase their production. In fact, the hens will do just as well on their own if you ensure they are healthy, comfortable and well-fed. Egg-Laying Egg production in hens is stimulated by increasing the amount of light they receive. The egg production will occur whether a rooster is in the flock or not. So, when the days begin to get longer in the spring and summer, your hen will naturally lay more eggs. Hens need between 14 and 16 hours of light a day for best egg production. But expect your hen to lay less or even stop when the days are shorter. Age If your goal is to have your hens lay more eggs, scrutinize their overall situation.

A female chicken will lay an egg reguardless if a male chicken is around. However if a male chicken is around she would be more inclined to lay more eggs. The male chicken after the female has laid the egg will come along and fertilize it and if left alone will hopefully hatch. Any egg laying animal does not need a male of its species to lay the egg J Rebel · 1 decade ago2 3 Comment Asker's rating The Egg. Pullet (female) chicks when hatched are born with very large numbers of underdeveloped ova in the ovary, the ovary being located high up within the abdominal cavity. The number of ova which eventually develop into yolks (ovums) will depend on two basic facts, its genetic breeding & how well each bird is reared. The ova grow slowly until their diameter is 6mm. As each pullet reaches sexual maturity the rate of growth of the ovum (yolk) is enormously increased at the rate of 6mm per day, the fully formed yolk takes seven days to develop from 6mm to full ripeness. When fully ripe, the follicle splits along the line of stigma, releasing the yolk from the ovary, the ruptured follicle later degenerates."

There are some breeds that will not produce eggs until they are over six months old and lay one egg per day. out of interest one day I found an egg with a soft shell and found out that's why we had a big grit feeder for them as it was lacking calcium.

Egg production will also drop when the hen molts or if nutritional needs are not met.

Hybrids are the earliest birds to start laying, starting about 1 month earlier than non-hybrids. Non-hybrids, which include our rare and heritage breeds, typically begin laying about one month later than hybrids. Hybrids Most of the egg laying hybrids start laying at 4 to 5 months of age. These include Pearl White Leghorns, Black Stars, and Red Stars. Hybrid egg layers are bred by crossing two different lines or breeds. They are known for their excellent productivity and high feed conversion ratio. Non-Hybrids Most non-hybrids start laying at 5 to 7 months of age. These include New Hampshire Reds, Black Australorps, Buff Orpingtons, Barred Rocks, Wyandottes, and many of our other breeds. My hens are the right age, so why aren’t they laying?"

Hey guys, It's my understanding that a horse's knees close around age 2- 2 1/2. My gelding JUST turned 3. A couple days ago in fact. Will a horse's knees almost certainly be closed by that age? I'm not increasing his workload or anything. As a matter of fact, it is more the fact that his knees look a bit lumpy and I am wondering if that is just the way his knees will always be, or if they are still trying to close. If I feel them, they still have a bit of a hollow or crease in the center. Not as much as when he was a baby, but more than my 20 yr old horses whose knees are nice and flat. So I guess I am just wondering if the knees he has now are the final product?"

Harness racing is a worldwide sport where a special breed of horses, called Standardbreds, race around a track while pulling a driver in a two-wheeled cart, called a sulky. It is seen in more than 30 countries by millions of fans who wager more than $3 billion annually. The horses reach speeds of more than 30 mph. Whether you love the majesty of the horses, or the thrill of gaming, or just like to relax and enjoy people watching, then going to the racetrack and watching harness racing is the ideal recreational activity. To really feel the power of the horses, watch the races from the fence, which is as close as you can get to the action without actually driving in the race. It is a thrill to see the horses strive to do what they do best—go fast and win!What is the difference between a Trotter and a Pacer? Harness horses compete using 2 different gaits: the trot or the pace, rather than the gallop. When pacers move down the track, the legs on the same side of their body move in unison. They can also be identified by the straps around all four legs, called hobbles, which help them maintain their gait."

"text": "\"If you own a young horse, you are probably anxiously awaiting the day when you can ride him. Breaking a young horse too early can lead to soundness problems later in life, but if you wait too long your horse may be difficult to train. It is important to work with your trainer and your veterinarian to determine when your horse is ready to ride. The Average Horse Young horses should not be ridden hard until they have physically matured enough to safely carry weight. For most breeds, this will occur when the horse is approximately 2 years old. Some trainers choose to start training when the horse is a late yearling, meaning he is between 18 and 24 months of age, while others will wait until a horse is 2 1/2 before training starts. Physical Development Regardless of the age of the horse, it is essential that you do not ride a horse whose knees have not finished closing. If your horse's knees have not closed, it means that the knees have not fully developed and are extremely vulnerable to damage that can occur as a result of putting too much pressure on the joints. When horses are ridden too early, it can damage their joints and affect their soundness for the rest of their lives. Breaking Your Horse Your veterinarian will be able to tell you if your horse is physically ready to be saddled and ridden."

In the sport of athletics, hurdling forms the basis of a number track and field events which are a highly specialized form of obstacle racing. In these events, a series of barriers known as hurdles are set at precisely measured heights and distances which each athlete must pass by running over.

She made his helm and shield burn with unwavering flame, like that of Sirius the star of harvest, who when he has bathed in the Ocean depths rises to shine brightest of all. Such was the fire that streamed from his head and shoulders, as she thrust him into the heart of the fight where the enemy were strongest. Now, there was a rich and peerless Trojan named Dares, priest of Hephaestus, who had two sons Phegeus and Idaeus, trained in all manner of warfare. These two detached themselves from the ranks and advanced in their chariot to meet Diomedes, while he charged forward on foot. When they were within range, Phegeus first let fly his long-shadowed spear, whose point flew over Tydeus’ shoulder without touching him. Tydeus replied, and the bronze-tipped shaft sped from his hand, striking his enemy in the chest, and knocking him from the chariot. Idaeus leapt backwards out from the rear, not daring to defend his brother’s corpse. He indeed escaped black fate only because Hephaestus shielded him, spiriting him away cloaked in darkness, so his aged priestly father might not be destroyed by grief."

"text": "The Equine Suspensory Ligament Dr Peter Gillespie. BVSc MACVS. Injuries to the suspensory ligament are a common occurrence in athletic horses. They can occur in both the fore and hind legs and have the potential to bring a horse’s competitive career to an end. Where is the suspensory ligament and what does it do? To describe it in simple terms, it runs down behind the cannon bone between the knee and the fetlock in the fore leg and between the hock and the fetlock in the hind leg. To be more precise, in the fore leg it originates on the distal row of carpal bones at the back of the knee and on the back of the upper part of the metacarpus (cannon bone). In the hind leg, it originates mainly on the upper metatarsus, although there are some attachments to the distal row of tarsal (hock) bones. Two thirds of the way down the metacarpus (or metatarsus) it divides into medial and lateral branches which continue down to attach to the outside surface of the sesamoid bones at the fetlock joint. From there it continues below the fetlock as lateral and medial extensor branches which insert on the Common Digital Extensor tendon at the front of the pastern between the fetlock and the foot."

If your arches collapse, then your feet roll inwards, which drags your knees and then your hips inwards as well. If you strengthen the arch muscles in your feet, then straightness will rise up your body from that strong foundation. This is the most natural, least invasive, and longest lasting way to take care of things. Of course, as Brian Hatten, M. D. pointed out, there are different causes of any given condition. While weak arches is the most common, it is not the only cause. Of course, there is no down-side to being strong. Therefore, I recommend that you strengthen your arches, and then if the problem does not go away, you need to look for other causes.26.5k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private.

The French word culotte is (a pair of) panties, pants, knickers, trousers, shorts, or (historically) breeches; derived from the French word culot, meaning the lower half of a thing, the lower garment in this case. In English-speaking history culottes were originally the knee-breeches commonly worn by gentlemen of the European upper-classes from the late Middle Ages or Renaissance through the early nineteenth century. The style of tight trousers ending just below the knee was popularized in France during the reign of Henry III (1574–1589).

The 2002 season has brought 11 cases in horses all under the age of 8 years being unloaded from trailers for training here and one or both of theses issues were present. Ten years ago, we were averaging 3 to 4 cases a year and in most cases it was more often stifle problems on Tennessee Walking Horses. I am experiencing hindquarter lameness issues in more clinic's than in past as well. We are now seeing both an increase of serious hock problems on virtually everybreed of gaited horse, be it a Rocky Mountain horse, Icelandic, Peruvian Paso, etc. I have worked with many veterinarians over the years with diagnosis and treatments and myself own a horse with bone spavin in the right hind hock. Please, understand that I am not a veterinarian and am writing out of my own experience, which I have accumulated over many years with many horses. It is through the great work and help of many veterinarians that I express my opinions on this subject, and urge you to consult a veterinarian if you suspect a soundness issue in your horse. It is very common for horses with behavior problems under saddle or that have gaiting issues to be thought of by the owners as a stubborn or unruly horse. When a horse starts to behave in this manner they are trying to communicate that something is wrong; they do not understand what we are asking, are being put under more pressure than they are ready for, or physical discomfort."

"text": "\"Predict a horse's adult height by its measurements as a foal Progressive Cattleman Staff Stew Nelson Published on 01 June 20111 Comment Related Vaccine storage and handling: It really does matter Pasture flies, impact and control strategies Parasitic wasps: A complementary fly control Often speculation arises about how tall a foal will become at maturity. Many years ago, somebody taught me about predicting the future height of a horse from measurements taken when it was just a foal. The method of measurement shown me was one taken on a straight line from the front of either front leg starting at the corona or hairline and extending to the middle of the knee joint. This gives a measurement in inches that would convert directly to hands on the adult animal. I was also told that this measurement would be true from 3 months old upward and would always be accurate throughout the lifetime of the horse. Example: a foal measuring 15 ¼ inches translated to a mature horse measuring 15.1hh, (61” tall at the highest point on the withers). This handy measurement, when broken down, is easily seen to be one-quarter of the horse’s mature height. Example: 14 ¼ inches multiplied by 4 = 57 inches, or 14.1hh; 15 ¾ inches multiplied by 4 = 63 inches or 15.3hh. I had people tell me before that they could predict if a young horse was still going to grow. They would pull a string out of their pocket and measure from the horse’s elbow to his fetlock or knee or point of the shoulder or some other measurement, then take the same distance from one of those points and extend the string and mark a point in the air anywhere from 3 to 10 inches above his withers and say “See, this horse is not done growing."

"text": "The Psoas Muscle and its role in Ridingby Carol-Anne Robinson,Registered Physiotherapist The psoas muscle plays an important part in our posture in general, and has a crucial influence on rider biomechanics. First let’s examine some general information regarding the muscle called the psoas, also referred to as the iliopsoas or hip flexor muscle. It is located deep with the abdomen, and originates along the sides of the vertebral bodies of the 12th thoracic vertebrae to the 5th lumbar vertebrae, and along the sides of the intervertebral spinal discs. The psoas muscle travels from deep in the abdomen to attach below the lesser trochanter of the femur (long thigh bone) which is located towards the inner thigh region. The iliacus (hence ilio -psoas) originates along the inner aspect of the ileum (the inside of the pelvis bone) and joins the psoas muscle in a common tendon, attaching again just below the lesser trochanter. S ome different views of the ilio-psoas muscle and its attachments to the spine, pelvis and femur. How does the Ilio- Psoas Muscle function? The function of the psoas muscle is to bend the hip, which in essence brings the upper leg and knee upwards closer to the abdomen, a necessary function for walking standing and sitting, amongst many others functional activities. The psoas can also control the position of the spine as the upper body bends over the leg (bending forwards at the waist in a leaning position), and the psoas can assist with maintaining a neutral alignment of the bones of lower back. This is how the Ilio-psoas typically functions."

The racehorse industry is very irresponsible. Horses are backed (saddled and taught to carry weight) as yearlings and raced as two-year-olds. The strain caused by working this hard before their full strength causes most racehorses to wear up and die around age 15 (compared to 30 for a well-looked-after horse.)

The CDC and its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) now recommend that all adolescents aged 11-18 get vaccinated against meningococcal disease. That's not a radical change from the CDC's old meningitis vaccination schedule. \"\" In the past, vaccination of adolescents and young adults was recommended to coincide with specific ages or events,\"\" the CDC's Tom Clark, MD, said at a news conference today. Clark is a medical epidemiologist with the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. He explains that the meningococcal disease vaccine MCV4 was previously recommended for kids \"\"at ages 11-12, and if they weren't previously vaccinated, for teens at high school entry, or for college freshmen living in dorms. \"\" The new recommendations will become official CDC policy when published in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. But teens and young adults shouldn't wait until then to get vaccinated, since they're more likely than other age groups to get meningococcal diseases, which can be fatal. \"\" Meningococcal disease is extremely serious and much better to prevent than to treat,\"\" says Clark.

"text": "\"Yet another vaccine is now being seriously considered for inclusion on the childhood vaccination schedule: the meningococcal vaccine for meningitis. Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) recently attended a vaccine stakeholder engagement meeting sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), where this topic was discussed. She was one of the few consumer representatives at this meeting. What is Meningitis? Meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges of your brain; basically, it's a brain inflammation. It can be caused by a few different kinds of organisms, including Neisseria meningococcal—which the meningococcal vaccine is geared toward—pneumococcal bacteria (Streptococcus pneumoniae), and Haemophilus influenza B. (The very first vaccines, smallpox, rabies vaccines, as well as other vaccines like pertussis, MMR and hepatitis B vaccine, can also cause brain inflammation in individual cases. ) Signs and symptoms of meningitis include: Severe headache High fever In babies: high pitched screaming and arching of the back Rigid head and neck and extreme pain when trying to put your chin to your chest Vomiting Diarrhea Convulsions Confusion Meningococcal disease is a serious disease that can result in the loss of limbs, brain damage, and death. The onset and progression can be swift, and requires urgent medical attention. So when you notice the kinds of symptoms listed above, you need to get checked out immediately. Fortunately, meningitis can be effectively treated with intravenous antibiotics if caught in time, but therein also lies the crux. \"\""

To avoid any confusion, we've put together a quick go-to list that you can use to get your teen up-to-date before they start school. As with any medical decision, parents should check with their primary care physician to determine the best course of action for their child. More: 15 life skills every kid should know before they leave for college Vaccine facts The Centers for Disease Control Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends following a specific vaccination schedule for teens entering high school or college. Each state, however, has its own vaccine requirements, so parents should check with their state health department. In addition, some states allow exceptions to the standard vaccination requirements based on religious or personal reasons. The CDC suggests parents of college freshmen determine if their child needs \"\"catch-up doses\"\" — vaccines the child should have received at a younger age. According to the CDC, some colleges may also require students to be vaccinated against diseases like meningitis to live in residential housing. As children get older, some early childhood vaccines may wear off and compromise a child's protection against certain diseases."

Some infectious diseases, such as polio and smallpox, have been eliminated in the United States due to effective vaccines. It is now rare for children in the United States to experience the devastating and often deadly effects of these diseases that were once common in the United States and other countries with high vaccination coverage. The vast majority of vaccines are given to healthy babies, children and adults; therefore, it is critical that vaccines be demonstrated to be safe and effective. Ensuring the safety and effectiveness of vaccines is one of the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) top priorities. The Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) is the center within FDA that has regulatory oversight of vaccines in the United States assuring the availability of safe and effective vaccines. Because immunization programs of the 20th century were so successful, many of today’s parents have never seen many vaccine-preventable diseases and do not understand the potential for them to re-emerge. If too many individuals choose not to vaccinate themselves or their children, some diseases that are now rare or non-existent in this country may resurface. The viruses and bacteria that cause vaccine-preventable diseases and death still exist and can cause disease in people who are not protected by vaccines. For example, although measles has not been constantly present in the United States since 2000, sporadic cases continue to occur, primarily from unvaccinated visitors who are bringing the disease into the United States from other countries or unvaccinated U. S. travelers returning to the U. S. from countries where measles is still common, including countries in Europe, Asia, the Pacific, and Africa."

Meningococcal disease is a bacterial infection caused by Neisseria meningitidis. Meningococcal disease usually presents clinically as meningitis (about 50% of cases), bacteremia (38% of cases), or bacteremic pneumonia (9% of cases). N. meningitidis colonizes mucosal surfaces of the nasopharynx and is transmitted through direct contact with large-droplet respiratory tract secretions from patients or asymptomatic carriers. Meningococcal disease can be severe. The overall case-fatality ratio is 10%–15%, and 20% of survivors have long-term sequelae such as neurologic disability, limb or digit loss, and hearing loss. N. meningitidis is classified into at least 13 serogroups based on characteristics of the polysaccharide capsule. Most invasive disease (such as meningitis and sepsis) is caused by serogroups A, B, C, W, and Y. The relative importance of serogroups depends on geographic location and other factors such as age. Serogroups B, C, and Y are the most frequent causes of disease in the U. S., each accounting for about one third of reported cases. Serogroup A is common in Sub-Saharan Africa but is rare in the U. S. Nasopharyngeal carriage rates are highest in adolescents and young adults who serve as reservoirs for transmission of N. meningitidis."

Combination Vaccines No, they are not magical shots that will cure or prevent all children's illnesses, but your kids may think you have special powers as you decrease the number of shots they need to get when they are little. The new 'super' vaccines simply combine multiple vaccines into a single shot. Combination Vaccines Currently Available There are many new vaccine combinations. While some are still in the clinical trial stage, the following vaccines are currently available: Pediarix is a combination vaccine that combines the immunizations for Diphtheria, Tetanus and acellular Pertussis (DTa P), Hepatitis B and Inactivated Polio (IPV), which used to require three separate shots. Pediarix is given to children as a three-dose series at 2, 4, and 6 months. So instead of 9 shots for the series to get protection against Diptheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (Whooping Cough), Hepatitis B and Polio, you can now get the same protection for your kids in just 3 shots. Pentacel - Pentacel is a similar combination vaccine that combines DTa P, IPV, and Hib. Pro Quad - Pro Quad combines the MMR and Varivax ( chicken pox) vaccines into a single shot, but is typically only given at the 4-year-old visit. Kinrix - Kinrix is the latest combination vaccine."

"text": "\"From start to end, weaning typically lasts about one month. During a litter of kittens' tender earliest weeks, mama's milk is all that is necessary for health and survival. Soon after, however, weaning procedures begin -- when a queen cat slowly but surely starts her little ones on other foods. In general, weaning takes about four weeks in all. Age The ASPCA indicates that mother cats usually start weaning the little fluff balls when they are about 1 month old. In general, kittens need their mother's milk until they are a minimum of 4 weeks old. The complete weaning process generally takes about a month, meaning that the wee kittens are usually fully weaned when they are between 8 and 10 weeks in age. Towards the end of the run, however, kittens should be receiving the vast majority of their dietary intake via food that is made specifically for kittens. Once weaning begins, kittens are usually ready to start eating dry food part-time, even though they are still simultaneously nursing with mom. When it comes to getting kittens to eat \"\"real\"\" food, the process moves slowly."

Even though Simon, who was in the middle of a US book tour, had just arrived from Miami, he made time to chat with me for an hour. Simon’s Cat vs. The World My first question was about Simon’s new book, Simon’s Cat vs. The World, which features Simon’s white cat in color for the first time: I was curious how he liked working in color, after doing the films, as well as the earlier books, in black and white all these years. “ I loved doing the book,” said Simon. “ Even though I kept the cat white, color allowed me to do so much more with the other characters.” Simon’s true love is wildlife, and he really enjoyed being able to bring all the non-cat characters in the book to life. I asked how doing a book differed from doing the animated films. “ The biggest difference is that in the films, each animation is one gag,” explained Simon. “ In the book, each page is a different gag.” “ I only had three months to do the book,” he added, “and I kept begging them for more weeks!”How it all began I asked Simon to go back to when it all began. “"

Additionally, it is primarily in our culture (America), that this is “normal.” We believe it is “normal” because that’s what we are being taught in our culture."

"text": "How Old Should Kittens Be Before They Leave Their Mother? Share Tweet +1 Pin it There is considerable debate over what age it is considered to be appropriate to separate a kitten from their mother, and allow them to go on to their new homes where they will live for the remainder of their lives. In the wild, kittens will usually stay with their mother until the mother becomes pregnant again, when she will naturally begin to push them away in preparation for raising her new litter. If the queen does not have any further litters, or lives as part of a colony of cats, the kittens will begin to gradually draw away as they reach sexual maturity, and set out in search of mates of their own. However, all of these processes can take several months to a year, and of course, when we deliberately breed kittens in a domestic situation, they will be separated from the queen well before this in order to allow them to go off to their new owners. But at what age should this happen, and why? Read on to learn more. Nutrition and basic needs When the kittens are newborn and unable to fend for themselves, they rely upon their mother to fulfil all of their needs. Obviously this includes feeding, as the young kittens need to suckle in order to gain nutrition before they are old enough to eat solid foods, but there is much more to it as well!The queen will keep her kittens safe and warm, protect them from predators, lick them and clean them, and lick their eyes to encourage them to open when the time is right. They also need assistance from the mother to defecate and urinate, as this requires manual stimulation until the kittens are a little older, so in reality of course, kittens are totally helpless at this stage and need to remain with their mother in the very first stages of their development."

THE BIG PICTUREThe best possible mother for any kitten is ... their own natural mother!! However, there are times when human intervention, to varying degrees, is necessary to save a kitten's life. Those times may occur when the mother cat (called a \"\"queen\"\") gives birth to too many kittens in her litter to adequately care for them all, or when she may not make enough milk to feed them. Occasionally, the queen may contract an infection, such as mastitis, and be unable to nurse, or she may even die. When a queen has to deliver by way of Cesarean section, this often upsets the natural flow of her milk, and she needs to be allowed to heal before allowing her kittens to nurse. Sometimes, the kittens themselves may be sick with a viral or bacterial infection that upsets their instincts to nurse, or they may not be able to nurse due to a blocked nose, and not being able to smell their mother or her milk. And, rarely, a queen may abandon her litter, or reject her kittens. When orphaned or rescued kittens are without their natural mother, the next best thing for them is to find another female cat who is nursing her own litter and is willing to accept the newcomers. Of course, this is not always possible, and when that is the case, YOU must become the mother."

"text": "\"Male Cat Behavior By Beth Asaff Reviewed by Dr. Pippa Elliott, Veterinarian BVMS MRCVSTypical male cat behavior tends to lead some people to believe that toms really only make second choice pets. In reality, there isn't much difference in the way males behave than the way female cats do. Typical Male Cat Behavior When you examine both genders closely, there really isn't a great deal of difference between the way the sexes behave, especially in neutered cats. However, an entire tomcat has strong natural urges to protect his territory and find a mate, which can result in behaviors considered anti-social by some. Urine Spraying Probably the worst offense attributed to male cats is the habit of urine spraying. Males spray their territory as a warning of the boundaries to other cats. Toms also spray as an advertisement of their sexual prowess when seeking females to mate with. An anxious cat may also spray to comfort himself by spreading his own scent. That said, urine spraying is not always behavioral by nature. A case of kidney stones can drive a cat to spray in an effort to pass the blockage and gain a little relief."

Cats are interesting creatures, with many traits and behaviors that are easily recognized as being uniquely feline — the way they curl up tightly to take a nap, for example, or their characteristic grooming rituals after enjoying a meal. Cat kneading is another common feline behavior. The kneading is a motion cats make by pushing in and out with their paws, alternating between right and left. Some cats knead with claws completely retracted, while others will extend their claws as they push in and retract as they pull back. So, why do cats knead? Let’s take a look.

Your furry friend had a litter of kittens and now those cuties are ready to find forever homes of their own. You might worry how Mom will handle losing her kittens after all the time they've spent together. No need to fear; it's natural for kittens to leave the nest. Weaning Kittens When they're around 4 weeks old, Mom will begin to wean her kittens. She'll begin teaching them how to hunt and will expect them to start eating solid food instead of suckling. She may growl at them when they try and nurse to encourage them to look elsewhere for food. She may move her kittens to an area near her favorite hunting grounds, or the food dish, to make it easier for her little fur babies to have access to solid food. Once the kittens are fully weaned, around 10 to 12 weeks old, they are old enough to move away from their mama. Empty Nest When her kittens first leave, your cat may be a little upset."

If you think you'll be a pro when caring for a newborn kitten just because you've lived with cats all your life, you're in for a surprise. Caring for a newborn kitten is not at all the same as caring for a grown cat. Newborn kitten care involves taking care of a much more delicate creature for the following reasons:- They are more susceptible to disease than older kittens.- Crowded by siblings- After birth, kittens are completely unable to care for themselves in any way. They cannot survive without care.- Kittens cannot see or hear when they are born. They are almost 2 weeks old before their eyes are open and they can hear.- Newborn kittens cannot urinate or defecate by themselves.- A Newborn kitten can’t run or walk.- kittens are prone to injury if handled roughly- newborn kittens are prone to hypothermia Due to their fragility, some kittens do not do well and do not live long."

If you are buying, or thinking of buying, a rabbit and want to find out how to care for, and what to feed a young rabbit, then please go to Buying a Rabbit The breeding season for most rabbits lasts 9 months with the average size of a litter usually between 4 to 12 babies (kits), but this does vary. Larger breeds of rabbits can have the larger litters. Babies are born furless with their eyes closed. A kit can be weaned (taken away from mother's milk and introduced to solid foods) at about 4 to 5 weeks. A young doe is able to breed at about 5 or 6 months and a young buck at around 6 or 7 months. Due to the very nutritious nature of a mother rabbit's milk, babies (kits) only need to be nursed for a few minutes, once or twice a day. In the nest, adults have a scent and babies do not. For this reason a wild mother rabbit knows that staying with her offspring will attract a predator's attention. Domestic rabbits also instinctively sense this, so the same applies."

Share this conversation Answered in 3 minutes by: 8/18/2010Cat Veterinarian: Dr. Erica Chat Conversation Started Dr. Erica : Usually somewhere between 5 and 6 months would be the time when a male cat begins to reach sexual maturity and starts to spray. Although not all cats will do this, it is highly likely in unneutered males, especially if there are other cats in the house. That is why it is recommended to get them neutered before 6 months of age. Once a male cat begins to spray, neutering will help but it may continue to some extent if it has become a habit. Neutering him before he ever starts is the best way to stop this unwanted behavoir. JACUSTOMER-y5lvm48i- : I think he has started to spray, the odor is atrocious, he was scheduled for neutering next month, but he will be under the knife before then believe me (lol), he is big for his age , he weighs almost 7.5 pounds and his testicles have gotten noticably larger in the last month . it sounds like he may continue to ''spray\"\" occasionally after the procedure. Dr. Erica : It is possible that now that he has done it once he may do it occassionaly even after surgery. At 7.5 pounds with giant testicles, he may be older than you think (or just hit early puberty)."

( The five pound weight requirement correlates.) There is a link between neutering a male before the age of six months to an increase in the likelihood that he will develop kidney/urinary tract disease. Yes, I know that the vast majority of pet organizations ask people to have their pets spayed and neutered right away. These organizations are dealing with the entire cat population and they are willing to risk the health of individual cats in order to cut down on the size of the cat population.

For female cats, spaying after they go into heat the first time will be more expensive at most vets. For male cats, waiting too long to neuter your cat will result in that strong urine odor male cats develop. Remember your cat can get pregnant before your even realize she's been in heat.

If your neutered male cat is spraying -- or urinating outside the litter box at all -- the first thing you should do is take him to the vet. Once you’ve ruled out medical problems, you can look for other causes. Health Problems Neutered male cats are especially prone to bladder and urinary tract problems -- including infections, obstructions and urinary stones -- so get him a medical checkup pronto. Male cats have longer, slimmer urethras than female cats, and neutering can narrow the urethra even more, making blockages more likely. If your cat does have a medical problem, he may need antibiotics, a catheter, a change in diet or even surgery. Environment Issues Your cat’s spraying may be a response to something in his environment. If you and your partner have recently started your nest together, moved to a new home or introduced another pet, these may stress your cat; spraying could be his reaction.

You may find that they might try and use your plants as a litter box. A kitten that was born and raised, for the first several weeks, inside by its mother will have the advantage of its mother's help in the litter training process, and other domestications. Kittens, generally, can begin to use a litter box at about four weeks of age, and a kitten being raised without its mother or adult cat will take slightly longer to litter train; so, keep this in mind when you begin the task of litter training your kitten. - Place the kitten in the box 1/2 hour after play or meals. -"

The cat does not need to pee, he is leaving a message for other cats. Un-neutered male cats will usually start urine spraying behavior once they reach sexual maturity. The age at which a tom cat sexually matures can vary greatly but in general it occurs between 5 and 12 months. Many factors can affect at which age a male cat starts spraying. Male cats in multi-cat households or in close proximity to other cats are more likely to spray at a younger age. Spraying is territorial and can also be stress related."

I know someone said it may be bad to spay/neuter at such a young age, but all three of my cats were under 6 months old, I have 2 males and 1 female. They received a pain shot and all did marvelous. We had no complications and they were acting normal later that day. That's great that you are being such a responsible pet owner and getting all of your kitties fixed. They will mate with each other if they aren't fixed and are old enough (many people don't know that siblings will). You may be able to check on a low cost spay/neuter clinic in your area."

How Will Neutering Help? \"\" Fixing\"\" your cat won't affect the strength of the odor of his urine, but it should curb his compulsion to mark his territory. If you can get your cat to stop spraying the urine odor will be greatly reduced. On average, 90 percent of male cats with a spraying habit will stop after being neutered. Male cats reach sexual maturity between the ages of 6 and 12 months, so having your kitty neutered before then should keep him from ever having the urge to spray.

"title": "http://icatcare.org/advice/neutering-your-cat\nNeutering your cat",
"text": "Neutering your cat From around the age of 4 months, kittens reach sexual maturity and are therefore capable of breeding and producing kittens themselves. Most people do not have the time or desire to breed from their cat and do not wish to add to the number of unwanted cats and kittens already looking for homes. Neutering a cat – castration in the male (removal of the testes), and spaying the female (removal of the ovaries and uterus) – not only prevents unwanted pregnancies occurring, but also curbs unwanted behavioural patterns associated with sexual maturity and reduces the risk of certain diseases. Reasons for neutering female cats Population control. It is important to neuter a female cat before she can have kittens herself. This happens very quickly depending on breed, time of year born and individual development. The first season usually occurs around six months but can be earlier. Queens can have up to three litters in a year. Control of nuisance. Female cats will ‘call’ (come into season and be receptive to the male cat) regularly, about every three weeks during sexually active times of the year if they do not get pregnant."

Even if you're the most diehard cat lover, urine spraying can be difficult -- not to mention icky -- to handle, especially if you're on clean-up duty that day. The territorial marking behavior usually begins when male cats reach sexual maturity, although females in heat often do it, too. Reproductive Maturity For the most part, kittens begin spraying urine when they hit reproductive maturity. This stage varies in cats, but can range anywhere from about 4 months to just over a year. Some kitties are early bloomers and others are late bloomers, similar to humans. Once your kitten is old enough to be interested in mating -- and to actually do so -- he is old enough to spray the walls of your home! When a cat marks with urine, it is a territorial behavior, but it also indicates his availability to nearby females. Essentially, it's a mating ritual. Nerves Although urine spraying is mostly a territorial and mating behavior, it also can be a simple sign of fear, stress or anxiety."

If you just brought a fluffy female kitten home and are worried about spraying, your concerns are definitely understandable. Though spraying is often thought of as a tomcat habit, it is also very common in females. Thankfully, spaying usually takes care of the messy and pungent issue -- phew. Reproductive Maturity Female kittens do not begin spraying until they have become fully sexually mature, which occurs with the first heat cycle at roughly 6 months old. However, your cat can reach reproductive maturity as early as 4 months and as late as 1 year. Along with spraying, a female cat may exhibit other common signs of estrus, including affectionate behavior, uncharacteristic irritability and frequent vocalization. All of these signs point to one thing -- that your kitten is ready and able to mate and breed. Pediatric Spaying In many cases, early fixing prevents pesky spraying behaviors from ever starting. If your cat gets fixed at a young age before ever going into heat, her chances of ever spraying become less and less."

Feral cats normally are afraid of humans and will run away if they see you. Stray cats may be friendly and will sometimes meow. A responsible owner whose cat goes in and out will have already sterilized it to prevent pregnancies. If the cat you see is exhibiting territorial or breeding behaviors such as fighting, yowling in heat, spraying urine, or showing signs of pregnancy, it should be caught and sterilized to help manage these troublesome behaviors and receive vaccinations. If the owner has not taken the responsibility to help the pet, you can still help it by bringing it in for surgery and vaccinations. How can I tell if a cat is unsterilized? Unneutered males roam up to 1 mile in search of females, fight with other cats, and spray urine on buildings or plants to mark their territory. Unspayed females make loud vocalization to attract males and stick their back end up while lowering the front of their bodies."

Many people resign themselves to living with the serious symptoms caused by hormone imbalance, accepting them as an unchangeable and an untreatable part of the aging process. However, maintaining optimum levels of hormones promotes an improved quality of life and prevents many of the degenerative illnesses commonly associated with aging. In order for your body to function at its full potential, it needs to produce sufficient levels of hormones. As you age, production of these hormones declines, and a wide range of symptoms can be a result: hot flashes, weight gain, lack of sexual interest – just to name a few. Bioidentical Hormone Therapy is used to bring these hormonal levels to balance. The effective use of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy for the relief of symptoms caused by age-related hormone imbalances found in women and men, can optimized and balanced hormones are essential to good health and a feeling of well-being. By providing hormones that are an exact biochemical match of your own hormones, it is possible to restore your hormones back to the balance you had in your 20’s and 30’s.

For both women and men, sexual desire or drive decreases gradually with age. However, testosterone, the hormone which primarily controls sexual drive in men, never stops being produced entirely. Some men in their 70s and 80s have an active libido even with decreased testosterone levels. Beyond aging, some reasons why libido may be affected for temporary periods of time at any point in the life cycle include stress, fatigue, preoccupation with work, side effects of medications, medical conditions, dissatisfaction with a relationship, and lack of desire for a partner, among others. A man's sexual life changes with age even as the desire may be maintained. In their 20s, men are less likely to experience wet dreams and some report that they masturbate less often.

This poor hormone gets some bad publicity as it seems to drive a lot of men’s thoughts and decisions for several years of their life (and from a woman’s perspective, not always in a good way!). Differences in testosterone and estrogen balance do account for many differences between men and women, and sometimes it seems to create a disconnect. But testosterone is such an important hormone for men, and too much of it or too little of it can certainly have far-reaching effects. We joke about men in their 20’s and 30’s and how testosterone drives them. Not just sexually either – it fuels their energy, their strength, their ambition. Testosterone is truly a whole-body hormone with highly complex and comprehensive roles in the body. This is true in women too but the amounts are much smaller and women have other more dominant hormones that “drive” us (and we confess, not always in a good way either!). Men, by design, are providers and protectors – they have to go out hunting the deer to bring home for dinner; they have to fight off the wild animals and the boogie-men, they have to keep everyone safe and well-protected. Testosterone is one of the major hormones that allow them to be that way."

Men and women reach their sexual peaks between their late teens and early 20s, before it slowly starts to decline with age. Typically, sex is a sign of health, but if we stop having it on the regular, can we really lose it if we don’t use it? The short answer is “yes. ”Sex is like a muscle; if you don’t exercise it, it’s gone. As April Masini, relationship expert and author, explains, the incidence and frequency of sex revives our sexual health. \"\" The more often you have sex, the more confident you become about having it — both your own ability and the ability of the relationships in which you’re having the sex,\"\" she told Medical Daily in an email. So, in a way, that confidence and the strength of the relationship will make it so that sex can \"\"take care of itself. \"\" Men: When Sex Needs A Tune-Up Erections are key when it comes to preserving male sexual function."

Many of them are clinically tested and proven to be effective. The problem is that there are hundreds of testosterone boosters out there, and most guys have a hard time weeding through the duds to get to that miracle supplement. If you don’t choose the right one, you could end up wasting your money and experiencing unwanted side effects. In addition, there are several testosterone boosters out there that are designed for younger men who are looking to use testosterone boosting as a bodybuilding aid. Men over the age of 50 should avoid supplements that are directed towards younger bodybuilders because they often do not contain the ingredients that are most beneficial to aging men. We have done the research and weeded out the duds and the supplements that are strictly designed for bodybuilders, and discovered the 5 best testosterone supplements for men over 50. Do Testosterone Supplements Work? The biggest reason testosterone supplements are so widely used today is because almost all men end up suffering from low testosterone levels at some point in their lives. Generally, testosterone levels tend to gradually decrease when men reach their thirties."

What exactly is male menopause and how does it affect men?male menopause More What is male menopause? Andropause, the medical name given to male menopause is receiving a lot of attention today. Although the WHO does not define andropause, recent research carried out has shown that there are a lot of possibilities to consider. Male menopause is used to describe age related changes in men along with changes in sexual function, mood and energy levels. What is testosterone? Testosterone is the male sex hormone (or androgen)and the male version of oestrogen in females. Testosterone decreases naturally by 1% every year after the age of 30 so in the elderly it has decreased as much as 50% from what it was originally. This low testosterone, many believe leads to symptoms of male menopause. Testosterone is important to maintain various bodily functions like development of male sex organs, maintaining bone strength and muscle mass, carbohydrate and fat metabolism and change in voice and growth of facial hair."

[ 1] It is the result of a gradual drop in testosterone; a steady decline in testosterone levels of about 1% per year can happen and is well documented in both men and women. [ 2] [3]Contents [ hide ]1 Terminology2 Symptoms, diagnosis, and screening3 Causes4 Management4.1 Adverse effects5 Outcomes6 Epidemiology7 History8 Society and culture9 Research directions10 See also11 References12 External links Terminology [ edit]Late-onset hypogonadism is an endocrine condition as well as a result of aging. [ 1]The terms \"\"male menopause\"\" and \"\"andropause\"\" are used in the popular media and are misleading, as they imply a sudden change in hormone levels similar to what women experience in menopause. [ 4]Symptoms, diagnosis, and screening [ edit]As of 2016, the International Society for the Study of the Aging Male defines late-onset hypogonadism as a series of symptoms in older adults related to testosterone deficiency that combines features of both primary and secondary hypogonadism; the European Male Aging Study (a prospective study of ~3000 men) [5] defined the condition by the presence of at least three sexual symptoms (e.g. reduced libido, reduced spontaneous erections, and erectile dysfunction) and total testosterone concentrations less than 11 nmol/l (3.2 ng/ml) and free testosterone concentrations less than 220 pmol/l (64 pg/ml). [ 1]Some men present with the symptoms, but with normal testosterone levels, and some men with low testosterone levels have no symptoms; the reasons for this are not known. [ 1] [6]Some men in their late 40s and early 50s develop depression, loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, and other physical and emotional symptoms such as irritability, loss of muscle mass and reduced ability to exercise, weight gain, lack of energy, difficulty sleeping, or poor concentration; many of these symptoms may arise from a midlife crisis or as the results of a long-term unhealthy lifestyle (smoking, excess drinking, overeating, lack of exercise) and may be best addressed by lifestyle changes, therapy, or antidepressants. [ 4]If a person has symptoms of late-onset hypogonadism, testosterone is measured by taking blood in the morning on at least two days; while immunoassays are commonly used, mass spectrometry is more accurate and is becoming more widely available. [ 6] The meaning of the measurement is different depending on many factors that affect how testosterone is made and how it is carried in the blood. Increased concentrations of proteins that bind testosterone in blood occur if the person is older, has hyperthyroidism or liver disease, or is taking anticonvulsant drugs (which are increasingly used for depression and various neuropathies ), and decreased concentrations of proteins that bind testosterone occur if the person is obese, has diabetes, has hypothyroidism, has liver disease, or is taking glucocorticoids or androgens, or progestins.

"text": "Hot Flashes Posted by Christiane Northrup, M. D. Menopause Hot flashes, or vasomotor flushes, are characterized by the feeling of heat and sweating, particularly around the head and neck. They are the most common menopausal symptom, affecting anywhere from 50 to 85 percent of women at some point during their climacteric years. Mainstream medicine considers hot flashes to be a result of declining estrogen levels at menopause. Indeed, hot flashes are seen in women with low estrogen; however, women with high estrogen levels or fluctuating estrogen levels also experience hot flashes. It is not uncommon for women to experience hot flashes during pregnancy, and also premenstrually. Hot flashes often start just before or during the menstrual period during perimenopause. While hot flashes tend to go away a year or two after menopause, many women experience hot flashes post-menopausally. Depending on the intensity of a hot flash, some women may get accompanying headaches or feel dizzy, tired, weak, or lose sleep. Others experience heart palpitations or erratic heart beats. Many women flush, sweat and then become chilled afterward."

If you’re just joining us, I recommend checking out our two previous posts in the series: the benefits of testosterone and a short primer on how T is made. Today we’ll be taking a look at what’s considered a normal testosterone level and how you can get your testosterone levels tested. As I began researching testosterone levels and hormone testing for this series, I quickly learned that there’s a lot of conflicting and confusing information out there — some websites will say that “X” is a normal testosterone level, while another website says “Y” is the ideal range. Even medical labs give conflicting numbers on what’s a normal testosterone level. Why so much confusion? The problem is that there hasn’t been much standardization in hormone testing, particularly regarding T levels. Different labs use different methods (and measurements), which has only created confusion among consumers and even family doctors about what testosterone level results even mean. Hopefully, the current state of confusion will soon change. The Center for Disease Control here in the U. S. started a project in 2010 to get labs to agree on standard hormone testing procedures."

Estrogen-only HRT is linked to endometrial cancer, but duration of both hormones is associated with breast cancer. Blood clots, or venous thrombosis, is likely if you have previous risks or take oral HRT. If you’re going through menopause, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) might be on your mind. This involves taking doses of female sex hormones: estrogen, progesterone, or both. HRT is used to ease the unpleasant symptoms that are typically associated with menopause.

This is something that sets the living apart from non-living. Even though the reproductive system is essential to keeping a species alive, it is not essential to keeping an individual alive. This chapter describes the different parts of the female reproductive system: the organs involved in the process of reproduction, hormones that regulate a woman's body, the menstrual cycle, ovulation and pregnancy, the female's role in genetic division, birth control, sexually transmitted diseases and other diseases and disorders. Reproduction Reproduction can be defined as the process by which an organism continues its species. In the human reproductive process, two kinds of sex cells ( gametes), are involved: the male gamete (sperm), and the female gamete (egg or ovum). These two gametes meet within the female's uterine tubes located one on each side of the upper pelvic cavity, and begin to create a new individual."

When a woman permanently stops having menstrual periods, she has reached the stage of life called menopause. Often called the change of life, this stage signals the end of a woman's ability to have children. Many health care providers actually use the term menopause to refer to the period of time when a woman's hormone levels begin to change. Menopause is said to be complete when menstrual periods have ceased for one continuous year. The transition phase before menopause is medically referred to as perimenopause or climacteric. During this transition time before menopause, the supply of mature eggs in a woman's ovaries diminishes and ovulation becomes irregular. At the same time, the production of estrogen and progesterone decreases. It is the enormous drop in estrogen levels that causes most of the symptoms commonly associated with menopause.

"text": "Given that there is such a strong correlation between when people become estrogen deficient and loss in bone mass, it is important to know just when estrogen levels begin to lower. Interestingly the menstrual cycle symptoms of declining estrogen levels are seen long before a womans final menstrual cycle. Estrogen and the menstrual cycle During the menstrual cycle the levels of estrogen fluctuate, during the start of the menstrual cycle, whilst the women is bleeding estrogen levels are low, they then start to increase after about day 8 and increase to a maximum at day 14. Following the end of the follicle stage ovulation is triggered by luteinizing hormone at around day 15 of the menstrual cycle. At this stage there is a reduction in the levels of estrogen due to the release of the egg at the follicle. At this stage the follicle converts to a corpus luteum and estrogen production is stimulated (as is the production of progesterone). The levels of both progesterone and estrogen then begin to decline to very low levels at around the 22 nd day of the cycle. This decline stimulates the uterus lining to grow, if the women is not pregnant then menstrual bleeding will occur at day one. The final period or menopause occurs when the follicle, which no longer contains eggs, can no longer produce hormones due to lack of eggs. This results in a lack of endometrial formation and therefore there is no need for a woman to bleed."

"text": "\"4.7 Respiration Contents - Previous - Next Respiration is the process by which plants take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide. As shown in Figure 4.5, oxygen from the air breaks down carbohydrates in the plant into carbon dioxide and water. This reaction produces energy in the form of heat. Respiration is a basic reaction of all plant material, both in the field and after harvest. It is a continuing process in the growing plant as long as the leaves continue to make carbohydrates, and cannot be stopped without damage to the growing plant or harvested produce. Fresh produce cannot replace carbohydrates or water after harvest. Respiration uses stored starch or sugar and will stop when reserves of these are exhausted; ageing follows and the produce dies and decays.4.7.1 Effect of air supply on respiration . Respiration depends on a good air supply. Air contains about 20 percent of the oxygen essential to normal plant respiration, during which starch and sugars are converted to carbon dioxide and water vapour. When the air supply is restricted and the amount of available oxygen in the environment falls to about 2 percent or less, fermentation instead of respiration occurs."

The first little wiggle Children naturally start to lose their baby teeth (otherwise known as deciduous, milk, temporary or primary teeth) around 5 to 6 years. ( Children whose baby teeth erupt early may lose them before late teethers do. )“ Girls also tend to lose their first baby tooth earlier, and the first tooth to go is usually in the lower front,” says Jennifer Hill, DDS, Dr Med Dent, Ph D, associate professor of pediatric dentistry at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) Dental Branch.

The excitement of a visit from the Tooth Fairy is balanced with the fact that something in their body is falling out -- a phenomenon some kids like, while others dread. Everyone loses their baby teeth, although exactly when a child loses his baby teeth varies from child to child. Video of the Day4-Ingredient Banana Pancakes Next Up Roasted Beet Hummus00:44The Incisors The incisors are the front teeth, the four that appear in the front and middle of your child's mouth on the top and on the four corresponding bottom teeth. The American Dental Association explains that the incisors are often the first teeth a baby will get, with the bottom lateral, front-most incisors erupting before the top teeth. The average age to cut primary incisors is 6 to 12 months old, but some children get them earlier. Likewise, these are usually the first teeth to fall out. Most kids lose their top and bottom baby incisors between 6 and 7 years old. The Cuspids The cuspids, also called canines, are the pointy-shaped teeth next to the incisors. Looking in the mirror, you'll see your child's cuspids toward the middle-back of your child's mouth."

"text": "Horse Teeth - Age, Anatomy and Growth Horse teeth continue to grow for the life of the horse. Because of this continual growth it is necessary that horses receive regular dental care with a procedure called floating. Floating teeth keeps the grinding surfaces even, ensuring proper food digestion. The changes that take place to the horse’s teeth over time help determine the age of a horse. Aging a horse by its teeth is very accurate in young horses and during specific time periods in a horse’s life. As the horse grows older, this tooth aging process becomes less accurate. The teeth are made up of materials that vary in hardness. This variation causes portions of the teeth to wear at different rates. The combination of wear marks, the presence or absence of baby teeth, tooth shape, and identifying grooves all help in aging a horse by its teeth. Horse Teeth and Age1 yr: have 24 baby teeth2- 2½ yrs: will have second set of permanent molars3 yrs: 2 permanent central incisors erupted4 yrs: canine teeth erupted (males and some mares)5 yrs: all permanent teeth are in, grinding surfaces are oval from side to side6 yrs: permanent incisors showing wear7 and 8 yrs: cups of the middle, lower incisors disappear8 and 9 yrs: cups of the corner, lower incisors disappear10 yrs: Galvayne’s groove appears at gum line11 yrs: cups in corner, upper incisors disappear12 yrs: chewing surfaces on central incisors become round instead of oval14-16 yrs: corner incisors develop ridges17 yrs: all incisors have round surface18 yrs: central incisors become triangular20 yrs: Galvayne’s groove runs the length off the corner incisors23 yrs: all incisors become triangular24 to 29 yrs: The grinding surfaces become oval again, but this time from front to back30 yrs: Galvayne’s groove gone Over 30+ yrs: short teeth, small tooth nubs, loss of teeth An adult horse has 36 teeth: 12 incisors, 12 premolars and 12 molars."

One day there will be a new one: a cry that signals your baby is growing his first tooth. Before that new cry comes, here is some information all parents should know about when babies start to grow their first teeth and what they can do to alleviate their teething pain. At What Age Do Babies Start Teething? According to the American Dental Association (ADA), a baby's first tooth often appears anywhere from eight months to a year of age. The last teeth to grow in are usually the molar, or back teeth, which often start making an appearance anywhere from 13 months all the way up to 33 months. When a tooth starts to break through the gumline the process will naturally cause your little one some discomfort. Some of the symptoms of teething include tender gums, drooling, irritability, trouble sleeping and gnawing and biting on toys. All of this is completely natural. Many of these symptoms will occur throughout the teething process, and every new tooth will take from a couple days to a few weeks to completely break through."

His incisor baby teeth have just all been replaced and his testicles have just dropped….and his voice has changed (Didn't know that dogs' voices changed). Also, at what age/stage should he be neutered? Thanks very much. Nancy Mason Answer Hi Nancy – thanks for your email. You have a couple questions – first when do the testicles drop in a puppy and how old is he based on his teeth? As far as when do the testicles descend in a puppy, it occurs in most puppies within 7 weeks after birth. Failure of the testes to descend into the scrotum is called cryptorchidism."

"text": "What Happens To The Roots Of Baby Teeth Y ou may be wondering what happens to the roots of baby teeth if you examine your child’s first lost tooth and do not notice any roots attached to the tooth. The roots of baby teeth dissolve when the new permanent teeth grow, so you won’t be able to ever see the roots of baby teeth. When Do Children Start to Get Teeth? Baby teeth, also called primary or milk teeth, have very thin roots that look like threads. Your baby will start to get teeth somewhere around six months of age, but the first tooth can appear anytime between three and twelve months of age. Your child should have 20 baby teeth by around age three—10 on the bottom row and 10 on the top row. When Do Children Lose Baby Teeth? Children start to lose teeth anywhere between five to seven years of age, but some kids can begin losing teeth as early as age four. Kids usually lose their teeth in the order they first appeared. The top and bottom front teeth, called central incisors, are usually the first to come in and the first to fall out."

"text": "Family Health Magazine - CHILDHOODTooth Injuries in Childhood Your dentist can help As babies start to crawl and explore the world, they meet many obstacles where they might be hurt. Through the active years of childhood and adolescence, these obstacles become even more common. Injuries causing damage to the teeth, bone, gums, cheeks and lips are common. Childhood dental injuries can have a long lasting and serious effect. They may lead to discomfort, discolouration, altered tooth development, infection (if left untreated) or tooth loss. The most likely causes of dental injuries in children are falls and tripping over objects. For young children, playing near sharp-edged coffee tables or fireplaces, running at the swimming pool, and wearing socks on slippery linoleum floors are common activities that often cause falls and dental injuries. Anyone of any age who plays sports without the protection of a mouthguard also risks severe dental injury. A tooth may be knocked out, moved, broken or suffer from a severe blow (concussion) when left unprotected. Other dental injuries seen by dentists result from fights, car accidents, rough play, electrical burns and, unfortunately, child abuse."

Foster & Smith Educational Staff TOP VIEWED ARTICLESPuppy Tooth Loss: What Age?4th Premolar (Carnassial Tooth) Infections Dental Treat Comparison Chart One of the biggest challenges in raising a puppy is dealing with all of the chewing they do. It can be a bit less frustrating if you consider that for almost the first year of his life, your puppy is dealing with some big changes going on in his mouth. Dogs have two sets of teeth: 28 deciduous (baby) teeth, which will eventually be replaced by 42 permanent (adult) teeth. When a puppy is two or three weeks old, the deciduous teeth begin to erupt through the gums, starting with the incisors, followed by the canine teeth, and finally the premolars. All of the deciduous teeth should be in place by about eight weeks of age. These first teeth are small, and painfully sharp, as owners of young puppies know. This is part of the reason most mother dogs begin to wean their pups at five or six weeks of age. Losing Their Baby Teeth By eight to twelve weeks of age, the roots of the deciduous teeth are starting to resorb and the teeth begin to loosen and fall out."

His bunny teeth have been hanging out in a little pair by themselves for the last 4 months and I was beginning to wonder if and when we’d see more pop through. In true Arlo fashion, he decided to go big or go home with the presence of the top four front teeth all pushing through at his gum line. Four at once! Can you imagine? So all of this teething business got me curious as to the natural order of when and how teeth come in. What’s the average age for a baby’s first teeth to come through?

Sure, your kid will look adorable when he smiles and shows those two tiny bottom teeth, but the process of getting them isn't much fun -- for your baby or for you. The good news is, all the suffering isn't for nothing. Teething, like crawling, walking and talking, is an important milestone that shows your child is on the right track developmentally, says Tanny Josen, D. D.

The move from that gummy grin to a mouthful of gleaming teeth is a rite of passage that can take your child his first three years to complete. The journey starts in the womb. While you were pregnant your baby developed tooth buds, the foundation for baby teeth (also called milk teeth). Those buds begin to break through the gum surface sometime between three and 12 months. You'll often see that first tooth -- a tangible sign that your baby's growing up -- around six months, which is usually the time his diet begins to include solid foods. By the time he's three, he'll have a mouthful of choppers that he can begin to brush himself (with a little bit of help from you) -- a basic step on the road to self-care.

Follow 2 answers Answers Best Answer: Parents often think that their babies are teething when they begin drooling and putting their fingers in their mouth, when they are around three or four months old. However, this is often simply a normal developmental milestone and has nothing to do with actual teething. Very often, even when infants have these classic 'teething symptoms,' they will not get their first tooth for a few more months or sometimes not until they are more than a year old. So until you see swollen gums or that first tooth coming in, any other symptoms may just be a coincidence. Teething Symptoms In addition to drooling, other teething symptoms can include: a decreased appetite for solid foods biting ear rubbing gum rubbing irritability a rash on your child's face sucking waking up at night And these symptoms occur about 4 days before and up to 3 days after your baby's tooth comes in, although the more bothersome symptoms, including decreased appetite, not sleeping, rash, and ear rubbing are most common on the day the tooth actually erupted or a day or 2 beforehand. That means that teething is not going to last for weeks or months, as some parents believe, unless your child has one tooth after another coming in. Keep in mind that many experts do believe that teething doesn't cause any symptoms for most children and that 'teething is the scapegoat for many other events occurring between about 6 and 24 months of age.' What You Need To Know teething is relatively painless for many children the first tooth can come in anytime between 3 to 15 months, with an average age of 4 to 7 months for most infants if teething does cause symptoms, it is usually about 4 days before and until 3 days after the tooth comes in don't blame serious symptoms, especially a high fever or irritability, on teething don't overuse teething gels and teething tablets, since they shouldn't be needed for the average teething child teething was once thought to be such a big problem that infant's gums were lanced to help the teeth come in!Source (s):http://pediatrics.about.com/od/teething/a/0107_teething.htm Msackles · 9 years ago0 0 Commentconsumer-friendly a lengthy time period is 6-9 months, notwithstanding the drooling is going on for ever, they tend to drag at their ears too, my daughters continuously were given a temp, undesirable nappy, and undesirable nappy rash, day beforehand one got here by using, you could attempt rubbing they gums woith some problem cool, teething ring infridge, toddlers can actully be born with a tooth, so its any time truly, yet from the starting up ti at the same time as they arrive may be some months. toddlers positioned each and everything into their mouths to hit upon, no longer in basic terms teethinghy · 1 year ago0 0 Comment Perhaps you would like to learn more about one of these?"

They are just baby teeth, why fix them? Most babies get their first tooth around 6 or 7 months of age; usually the bottom front two incisors. Some kids are a little slower erupting the first tooth causing parental worry. It can be even around 12 months for the first one to poke through. Additional baby teeth will continue to come in till almost three years of age. There really is a lot of variability on the sequence. Don’t feel bad if your child does not get his teeth just like your neighbor’s baby or even his own twin sister. This is important: look at the chart below and you will see that some baby teeth START falling out around 5-6 years old (again give or take a little), but the back molars do not fall out till around 12 years of age! If your child develops a cavity in a baby tooth the decay will slowly (and sometimes rapidly) get bigger and deeper."

"text": "Reasons Why Baby Teeth Don't Come inby ERICA ROTH Aug. 14, 2017The majority of babies are born with their baby, or primary teeth, already lying in wait under the gums. Babies generally start to cut their baby teeth beginning at 6 months, according to the American Dental Association. Primary teeth may continue to erupt until age 3. The age at which your child's baby teeth will appear ranges widely from child to child. In some rare cases, baby teeth do not come in, and in fact have never developed. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Genetic Abnormalities Genetic birth defects that affect a child's physical development may also affect his appearance in that he may not cut baby teeth. The National Institutes of Health's Medline Plus information service explains that babies born with progeria or Down syndrome could end up missing a set of primary teeth. Progeria is a condition in which a child's body ages much more rapidly than her peers. Down syndrome, referred to medically as trisomy 21, occurs when a person is born with three chromosomes instead of two in a particular section of her DNA. Science Daily reports that a gene mutation in a gene called PAX9 can also cause tooth abnormalities and even missing teeth, but that this situation usually consists of a person developing baby teeth and not forming adult teeth."

When we move teeth orthodontically, what happens is that a small pressure exerted over a long period of time stimulates the cells in the bone to resorb in the direction of tooth movement. Once a space is made, the tooth is pushed into the space. Bone fills in behind where the tooth once was located. The process repeats itself again till the tooth is in the final desired position. This process can take place at any age. Yes, you can get braces at 40 years of age! The only caveat is that it usually is easier when the patient is younger. Isn’t most everything? There are however, certain things that can only be done in a growing patient (a preteen or teenager)."

My child's front tooth is turning dark. If a child bumps his or her primary baby tooth, it may turn dark. Usually this happens two to three weeks after an accident. It's usually a gray or purple like color. Whether it turns dark or not doesn't always depend on the severity of the injury. I will say, however, that if the tooth is displaced or knocked very loose at the time of the injury, there seems to be a greater chance of it turning dark. If it doesn't turn dark after a month, it likely won't have any further problems. Sometimes it can turn a pink color which can be another thing called internal resorption where the tooth resorbs from the inside out. Will the tooth ever lighten back up?"

Well, it may surprise you to learn, adult teeth don’t ‘die’, which means they don’t fall out from natural causes (unless you call falling head-first off your bike or being punched in the face a natural cause!) Disease or trauma are the main culprits for adult teeth dying. Most people assume losing teeth is a natural consequence of the aging process. Not so. All too often, just like most things in life, if you lose your teeth and end up with false teeth, you’re probably the cause. Baby teeth fall out on their own to be replaced with adult permanent teeth. However, adult teeth don’t fall out from natural causes. So that’s the good (and the bad) news. You don’t have to lose your teeth, but if you do, don’t blame nature, in most cases the cause can be found a little closer to home."

"text": "\"In this article Overview What causes ADEM? Who gets ADEM, and when? How is ADEM different from MS? Overview Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a brief but intense attack of inflammation (swelling) in the brain and spinal cord and occasionally the optic nerves that damages the brain’s myelin (the white coating of nerve fibers). Other terms used to refer to ADEM include post-infectious encephalomyelitis and immune-mediated encephalomyelitis. ADEM is sometimes difficult to distinguish from multiple sclerosis (MS) because the symptoms common to both \"\"demyelinating\"\" disorders include loss of vision, weakness, numbness and loss of balance. Both ADEM and MS involve immune-mediated responses to myelin in the brain and spinal cord. What causes ADEM? The cause of ADEM is not clear but in more than half of the cases, symptoms appear following a viral or bacterial infection, usually a sore throat or cough and very rarely following vaccination. ADEM is thought to be an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly identifies its own healthy cells and tissues as foreign and mounts an attack against them."

Prognosis and life expectancy for MS vs. ALSMS (multiple sclerosis) vs. ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) quick comparison of differences Share Your Story ALS ( amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Lou Gehrig’s disease) and MS ( multiple sclerosis) are not the same disease. They sometimes are confused because they have some similarities. However, they have more differences than similarities. MS is neurodegenerative disease that results in the destruction the protective coating (myelin sheath) on nerves of the CNS (central nervous system), which causes a faulty relay of instructions from the brain to the body. Many people may have mild symptoms for years with periods of remission. In contrast, ALS destroys the nerve cells (neurons) so that the body cannot communicate with the brain. Symptoms of ALS progress continually, and result in paralysis, and death a few years after the initial diagnosis. The similarities between these two conditions are that both MS and ALS are so-called neurodegenerative diseases that affect the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system or CNS). Both affect the body's muscles and nerves."

People with multiple sclerosis (MS) experience a wide range of symptoms. Due to the nature of the disease, symptoms can vary widely from person to person. They can also change in severity from year to year, month to month, and even day to day. Two of the most common symptoms are fatigue and difficulty walking. About 80 percent of people with MS report having fatigue. Fatigue that occurs with MS can become debilitating, affecting your ability to work and perform everyday tasks. Difficulty walking can occur with MS for a number of reasons:numbness of your legs or feetdifficulty balancingmuscle weaknessmuscle spasticitydifficulty with vision Overwhelming fatigue can also contribute to the problem.

In This Article Abstract and Introduction Immunosenescence: How the Immune System Ages Gender & Immunity Aging & the Development of Autoimmunity Specific Effects of Estrogen on Autoimmunity What is Known About the Estrogen Deficiency of Menopause & Specific Autoimmune Diseases Conclusion Expert Commentary Five-year View References Sidebar What is Known About the Estrogen Deficiency of Menopause & Specific Autoimmune Diseases It is known that many natural, pathological and therapeutic conditions can change serum estrogen levels, including the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, menopause, use of oral contraceptives, use of hormonal replacement treatment and disease. The estrogen withdrawal of menopause, however, is a significant hormonal transition, and one with numerous physiologic ramifications. The normal immunosenescence evidenced in both sexes may be modulated in some degree by changing levels and forms of endogenous estrogen. The production of cytokines IL-6, IL-1, and TNF-a increase after menopause, as does the physiological response to those cytokines. [ 10] There is a postmenopausal decrease in CD4 T and B lymphocytes, as well as decrease in the cytotoxic activity of natural killer cells. [ 31]In vitro analysis of three different T-cell signaling proteins (Janus kinase 2 [JAK2], Janus kinase 3 [JAK3], and CD3-z) found that postmenopausal levels were substantially reduced compared with premenopausal levels. [ 11] In addition, Jurkat T cells exposed to premenopausal levels of E2 also formed significantly more IL-2 producing colonies compared with those exposed to premenopausal levels (75.3 ± 2.2 vs 55.7 ± 2.1 [p < 0.0001]). [ 11] Studies suggest a normalization of cellular response after hormone-replacement therapy (HRT). ["

"text": "\"The Difference Between Muscular Dystrophy and Multiple Sclerosisby STEPHEN CHRISTENSEN Aug. 14, 2017Medically Reviewed by George Krucik, MD, MBAProgressive muscular weakness, muscle wasting, loss of coordination, balance problems and walking difficulties are characteristics of a number of diseases. These signs and symptoms can stem from any condition that interferes with muscle function, whether it damages the muscles themselves or interrupts the nerve impulses that regulate muscle movement. Therefore, disorders that appear to cause similar symptoms, such as the muscular dystrophies and multiple sclerosis, may have completely different underlying causes. Furthermore, treatment for these conditions can be radically different. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Causes Multiple sclerosis occurs when your immune system attacks the nerve cells in your brain and spinal cord. The damage that results from this autoimmune activity can lead to problems with vision, bowel and bladder control, sensation and muscular function. It is not clear what initially stimulates your immune system to attack your nerve cells. Muscular dystrophies -- Duchenne, Becker, limb-girdle and others -- are inherited disorders that lead to abnormalities of specific proteins within your muscle cells. Over time, these defective proteins cause progressive loss of muscle function. Unlike multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy does not damage the nerves in your central nervous system."

"text": "Print Overview Multiple sclerosis Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a potentially disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system). In MS, the immune system attacks the protective sheath (myelin) that covers nerve fibers and causes communication problems between your brain and the rest of your body. Eventually, the disease can cause the nerves themselves to deteriorate or become permanently damaged. Signs and symptoms of MS vary widely and depend on the amount of nerve damage and which nerves are affected. Some people with severe MS may lose the ability to walk independently or at all, while others may experience long periods of remission without any new symptoms. There's no cure for multiple sclerosis. However, treatments can help speed recovery from attacks, modify the course of the disease and manage symptoms. Find out why Mayo Clinic is the best place for your care. Symptoms Myelin damage and the nervous system Multiple sclerosis signs and symptoms may differ greatly from person to person and over the course of the disease depending on the location of affected nerve fibers. They may include: Numbness or weakness in one or more limbs that typically occurs on one side of your body at a time, or the legs and trunk Partial or complete loss of vision, usually in one eye at a time, often with pain during eye movement Prolonged double vision Tingling or pain in parts of your body Electric-shock sensations that occur with certain neck movements, especially bending the neck forward (Lhermitte sign)Tremor, lack of coordination or unsteady gait Slurred speech Fatigue Dizziness Problems with bowel and bladder function When to see a doctor See a doctor if you experience any of the above symptoms for unknown reasons."

There are special concerns and unique medical considerations present in litigating a TBI in the elderly that are not present themselves in other cases.

It is believed that neuroplasticity, or the ability of the brain to heal itself and reroute brain function around injured portions of the brain, decreases with age. Atrophy of the brain increases with age and this in turn increases the distance between the brain and the skull, making dural vessels more vulnerable with shearing damage (as we saw in the case of Natasha Richardson). ( Cummings and Benson, 1992). In a comparison of patients older than and younger than 55 years old, matched for injury severity and gender, it was observed that the older patient group had a significantly longer mean linking the rehabilitation stay, higher total rehab charges and slower rate of improvement on functional measures.

It is the preferred imaging method to help establish a diagnosis of MS and to monitor the course of the disease. MRI has made it possible to visualize and understand much more about the underlying pathology of the disease. How it works Unlike a computed tomography (CT) scan or conventional X-ray, MRI does not use radiation. Instead, MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to measure the relative water content in tissues — both normal tissue and abnormal — in the body . MRI works in the following way: A very strong magnetic field causes a small percentage of the hydrogen protons in water molecules to line up in the direction of the magnetic field. The percentage lined up is small, but large enough to give a strong signal for imaging. Once the hydrogen protons have been lined up, radio waves and some additional but weaker magnetic fields are used to knock them out of line. When the radio waves are stopped, the protons relax back into line. As they relax, the protons release resonance signals that are transmitted to a computer."

But demand answers if you’re experiencing symptoms–treatment can help. Karen Pallarito January 04, 20181 of 10What is autoimmune disease? Your immune system is a multifaceted, around-the-clock security operation capable of recognizing and responding to all sorts of malicious threats by viruses, bacteria, and other bugs. But sometimes it mistakenly attacks healthy cells instead of the bad guys. Conditions like lupus, multiple sclerosis, and psoriasis are among more than 100 different diseases thought to be caused by a faulty immune response. “What makes it an autoimmune disease is the fact that the immune system is producing antibodies against your own tissue,” explains longtime patient advocate Virginia T. Ladd, president and executive director of the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association (AARDA). Along with greater recognition of these conditions, there has been a steady rise in the prevalence of the diseases. “ We used to think autoimmune disease is very rare. In fact, individual diseases are rare, but in a collective sense they are quite common,” says Noel Rose, MD, Ph D, a pioneer in the field regarded as the “father of autoimmune disease."

Because these nerves provide messages to so many different areas of the body, the symptoms of multiple sclerosis can involve many systems of the body. You may experience problems walking, talking, speaking, swallowing, or difficulty thinking. It’s not known exactly what causes multiple sclerosis, but researchers think that vitamin D may play a role. Some studies show that vitamin D helps to control your immune system, but how this may play a role in multiple sclerosis is not fully understood. Some research shows that vitamin D improves the symptoms of multiple sclerosis, but these studies are small. Research hasn’t shown conclusively yet whether taking vitamin D supplements may help reduce your chances of developing multiple sclerosis, treat symptoms once the disease has already started, or both. There are other things that researchers think may increase your likelihood of getting multiple sclerosis, including being a carrier for certain genes. Because of all the differences in the research studies, it’s difficult to know for certain what role vitamin D plays in preventing or treating multiple sclerosis. If you have multiple sclerosis and want to take vitamin D, it’s unlikely to harm you or make your symptoms worse."

Fox, MDPublished: June 2014Contents Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) and is one of the most common causes of nontraumatic disability among young and middle-aged adults. MS-related healthcare costs are estimated to be more than $10 billion annually in the United States (US). As symptoms of MS are extremely variable and often quite subtle, diagnosis and management have been greatly enhanced by the development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Therapies that slow progression of disease are available; therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are important in limiting the impact of this potentially devastating disease. Definition Figure 1: Click to Enlarge As outlined in Figure 1, there are several different forms of MS. Since these classifications were based upon clinical characteristics, they are empiric and do not reflect specific biologic pathophysiology. Nonetheless, they provide an organized framework for diagnosis and long-term management. Relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) is the most common form of the disease, where symptoms appear for several days to weeks, after which they usually resolve spontaneously. After tissue damage accumulates over many years, patients often enter the secondary progressive stage of MS (SPMS), where pre-existing neurologic deficits gradually worsen over time. Relapses can be seen during the early stages of SPMS, but are uncommon as the disease further progresses."

"text": "Description Multiple sclerosis is a condition characterized by areas of damage (lesions) on the brain and spinal cord. These lesions are associated with destruction of the covering that protects nerves and promotes the efficient transmission of nerve impulses (the myelin sheath) and damage to nerve cells. Multiple sclerosis is considered an autoimmune disorder; autoimmune disorders occur when the immune system malfunctions and attacks the body's own tissues and organs, in this case tissues of the nervous system. Multiple sclerosis usually begins in early adulthood, between ages 20 and 40. The symptoms vary widely, and affected individuals can experience one or more effects of nervous system damage. Multiple sclerosis often causes sensory disturbances in the limbs, including a prickling or tingling sensation (paresthesia), numbness, pain, and itching. Some people experience Lhermitte sign, which is an electrical shock-like sensation that runs down the back and into the limbs. This sensation usually occurs when the head is bent forward. Problems with muscle control are common in people with multiple sclerosis. Affected individuals may have tremors, muscle stiffness (spasticity), exaggerated reflexes (hyperreflexia), weakness or partial paralysis of the muscles of the limbs, difficulty walking, or poor bladder control."

It has two major features: Destruction of myelin, a fatty insulation covering the nerve fibers, is the main characteristic of MS. The end results of this process, called demyelination, are multiple patches of hard, scarred tissue called plaques or lesions. Sclerosis comes from the Greek word skleros, which means hard. Damage of axons, the fibers that carry electric impulses away from a nerve cell, is also a major factor in the permanent disability that occurs with MS. Myelin is the layer that forms around nerves. Its purpose is to speed the transmission of impulses along nerve cells. The symptoms, severity, and course of MS vary widely depending partly on the sites of the plaques and the extent of the demyelination.

The current generation of 25 to 36-year-olds, the traditional age group for first-time buyers, is split into 'property haves' and 'property have-nots' who face very different prospects. Those that manage to buy their first home by 29 will have a family-sized home by the age of 36 and pay off their mortgage by 61, creating a 'golden inheritance' for their children to later invest in their own property.+2Mixed opportunities: The current generation of 25 to 36-year-olds, the traditional age group for first-time buyers, is split into 'property haves' and 'property have-nots' who face very different prospects While younger people who have managed to get on the property ladder did so typically at 29, the 'have-nots' do not expect to buy their first home before the age of 35, according to the report. Researchers predict this six-year head start for those who are already on the property ladder could have a variety of knock-on effects for people throughout their lives - including the level of financial support they are able to offer their own children when they want to buy their first home. The report, titled First Time Buyers: The New Property Path, suggests that those who have already bought a starter home will take their next step on the property ladder and buy a family home around the age of 36.

Also known as the \"\"Snap Dog\"\", whippets are capable of running very fast with records of them reaching 56 km/h miles when in full flight which in short, means they are superb racing dogs. They are gentle characters by nature and are known to be one of the cleanest dogs around, but with this comes the \"\"hound\"\" in them which in short means that a Whippet would feel the need to chase anything that moves. They thrive on human company and are highly adaptable being just at home in a country house or large castle as they would be living in a smaller house providing there is a very secure back garden for them to safely let off steam as often as possible. They are one of the most popular sporting-type dogs on the planet for these very reasons with Whippets being high on the list of favourite family pets and companions in the UK."

So what can you do with your home and investment properties when you go your separate ways? Can I remove my partner? Yes, you can remove your partner from your home loan. However, you’ll need to be able to qualify for the mortgage on your own. If you qualify then: You can refinance and extend your mortgage to 95% of the property value. You can increase your home loan to pay out a divorce settlement. Your mortgage broker can get you a better interest rate when refinancing. You must meet standard bank policy without your partner’s income. You may have to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) if you borrow more than 80% of the property value."

All gone: Cecile Harris' £250,000 savings have been eaten up (read her story below)Everyone should read this guide to who qualifies for help, what you have to pay and whether you can protect yourself Putting a loved one in long-term care is one of the hardest — and most stressful — decisions a family has to make. To confront the fact that your mother or father may no longer be able to look after themselves is heart-breaking. And then there is the upheaval of moving them from a home where they may have lived for decades. But this dreadful situation is made worse for thousands of families every year who are confronted by the minefield of funding long-term care. They can be forced to sell their parents' home and spend a lifetime's savings because the state cannot afford to foot the bill. There are almost half a million elderly people currently in care. But the system is beset with problems, including:• Care funding is a postcode lottery, with some health authorities more likely than others to help towards costs;• Health authorities can act as judge and jury when deciding who gets help;• Just 30,000 elderly people receive NHS support for care;• Typical residential care fees are £25,000 a year, while nursing homes cost £34,000, according to analysts Laing & Buisson;• Local councils paid £1bn last year to elderly residents who ran out of cash — this is expected to increase to £3 billion over the next 20 years; and• Council grants are to be slashed by a quarter. The average life expectancy for those committed to care homes is just two years. But according to immediate care annuities specialist Partnership, self-funders more typically survive for four years."

What Determines the Total Cost of Your Mortgage August 19, 2015 • min read by Christine Di Gangi 0 Comments A lot of people have this idea that buying a house is something you do once you’re married and ready to “settle down.” Maybe you buy your first house so you have room for your kids, or you’re preparing to need that room. That’s mostly how it used to be. Historical data shows that the majority of first-time homebuyers in the ’70s were about 29 or 30, married and had a family of nearly three people to move into that first nest. Now, first-time homebuyers are more likely to be single and about 32.5 years old. Only 40% of first-time homebuyers were married between 2010 and 2013, down from 47% between 2000 and 2004 and down from 52% in the late 80s, according to a report from real estate company Zillow. About 30 years ago, the median age of someone buying his or her first house was 29.6 years old, but by 2010 through 2013, the median was up to 32.5 years."

The problem was when her 13-14 year old son started doing all the talking after i told her options. That's when i noticed that she was there to purchase a mod for her severely under aged son. Needless to say i didn't sell them anything and ask them to leave because i don't sell to minors or to people that might be purchasing for minors. She ended up getting extremely pissed and treated to shut me down. What do you guys think. Should i have just sold them the mod and pretend like i didn't notice."

This 32-page Social Security Board booklet was published in 1937 as part of the Board's efforts to educate the American public about the rationale underlying the new Social Security program. Why Social Security? \"\" SECURITY was attained in the earlier days through the interdependence of members of families upon each other and of the families within a small community upon each other. The complexities of great communities and of organized industry make less real these simple means of security. Therefore, we are compelled to employ the active interest of the Nation as a whole through government in order to encourage a greater security for each individual who composes it.... This seeking for a greater measure of welfare and happiness does not indicate a change in values. It is rather a return to values lost in the course of our economic development and expansion. \"\" Franklin D. Roosevelt: Message of the President to Congress, June 8, 1934.

While it's natural that people in different locations develop different preferred words for things, the terminology for beef has left the realm of \"\"live stock\"\" and moved to \"\"laughing stock.\"\" Butchers have a good deal to answer for in this. They've had a marked tendency over the years to rename cuts in an attempt to refresh consumers' interest. That tendency grew more marked during the 1970s in Canada, US and the UK, when under the failed Wage and Price Control policies in all three countries butchers simply renamed cuts to escape the price controls attached to the more well-known names. And since then, the marketers have taken over and gone into full flight. Thing is, it all became jargon that only people in the trade understood."

Halifax raised the age limit for mortgage borrowers by five years to 80 with another big lender, Nationwide, following hot on their heels with a rise of their own from 75 to 85. And thoughts are other lenders will not be far behind. With two big lenders looking to up the maximum age limit on mortgages, the chances of now getting a mortgage in later life have just improved. What’s the impact? Despite changes to employment habits, with many workers staying in their jobs until the age of 70 or more, the older borrower has still not proved an attractive option for lenders, up until now it would seem. Nationwide’s head of mortgages Henry Jordan said: “Access to the mainstream market has been a challenge for older customers, resulting in their needs going unfulfilled. We are taking a series of steps to meet a growing demand from customers to be able to borrow in later life”. How could it look? This move by Britain’s biggest mortgage lender Halifax means that a 54-year-old customer could now take out a 25-year loan and repay the loan before his or her 80th birthday."

Follow 25 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: You can begin breeding as soon as one year but for the best possible breeding age should be 3 years. The reason behind this is The male seed becomes strong and it will take at a rate of 90% where as a year your take is 30% so you triple your percentage which means faster results. less mating and a stronger more healthier litter. which is important for breeding is to have healthy pups. As for the female also 3 years is best because the instinct to care for her young without neglect is far better. Like I said you can begin early but if your in the breeding business you want the best possible results and not take careless chances with your investment."

We'll see. What is known is that, as usual, most people didn't make a contribution at all during the last RRSP season. The number of Canadians who contributed to an RRSP for the 2010 tax year actually fell slightly from the previous year to 5,956,010 — about a quarter of all eligible tax filers.

"text": "Age limits The credit crunch has put paid to the plentiful supply of lending into retirement products and now older people are facing a rapidly shrinking market as providers cut the maximum age on their standard mortgage ranges By Robert Thickett 6 th November 2013 12:00 am Wind the clock back six years ago to the peak of the UK’s housing market and mortgage options for homeowners approaching, or already in, retirement were plentiful. Most banks and building societies would lend up to the age of 85, making it relatively easy for a large number of borrowers in their 60s to get a home loan. Back in 2007, there were even press reports that a 102 year-old man from East Sussex had been given a 25-year remortgage loan on his buy-to-let property. Fast forward to today and the picture is very different for older borrowers. Their mortgage choice has shrunk rapidly as lenders have pulled specialist lending into retirement product ranges and cut their maximum lending age limits en masse. Mortgage Strategy’s recent poll found that 68 per cent of respondents believed banks and building societies are too strict when it comes to lending to the over 60s. In the past two months alone, three lenders have cut the maximum age on their standard mortgage ranges from 80 to 75. In September, Leeds Building Society reduced the maximum a borrower can be at the end of their mortgage term to 75 and also withdrew its lending into retirement range, aimed at borrowers typically aged 60 and over, from the market. This followed similar moves by Skipton and Newcastle Building Society in August. Mortgage brokers say the catalyst for this change was the credit crisis back in 2008."

If I needed some extra help, I could get it without having to bother my children. ”Schuessler can’t know if she’ll ever need long-term care, but she does know her LTCI plan will help pay for long-term care costs, lessening the impact a health care crisis would have on her children. When a person can no longer care for herself, long-term care helps with the tasks of daily living, such as bathing or eating. This assistance can be necessary for many reasons: after an injury or debilitating illness; due to chronic illness or disability; because of a severe cognitive impairment, such as Alzheimer’s disease; or due to deteriorating physical or mental health. LTCI is a relatively new product, as this arm of the industry began just 33 years ago. Only about 8% of Americans have purchased LTCI, but as the average life expectancy rate continues to climb, more people are realizing the need to plan for a long life. Whether you are researching LTCI for yourself or a loved one, it is important to know the benefits and potential drawbacks of purchasing a plan, policy and premium terms, and the nature of LTCI plans."

The budget included an increase in the stamp duty threshold for first-time buyers – but who will be eligible, asks Rupert Jones Rupert Jones and Patrick Collinson Fri 26 Mar 2010 20.17 EDT5 11Stamp duty has been scrapped for some first-time buyers. Do you qualify? Photograph: Murdo Macleod First-time buyers (particularly those who don't drink cider) were among the biggest winners in the budget after Alistair Darling said they will not have to pay stamp duty on homes costing up to £250,000. For many homebuyers, stamp duty is the biggest add-on cost, so this tax break – worth up to £2,500 – is not to be sniffed at. But who or what exactly is a first-time buyer? Some might think that a daft question, but accountants say the taxman's definition is very strict, and that some buyers who might have assumed they were eligible may be surprised to discover that they are not. The government says the £250,000 threshold, which took effect at midnight on Wednesday and will last two years, means nine out of 10 people buying their first home will not pay the tax. It was generally welcomed by commentators, who said it would put the dream of home ownership back within reach of thousands of hard-pressed homebuyers. But many experts were quick to home in on the difficulties of defining a first-time buyer, and warned policing the system to ensure people do not abuse it was likely to be a headache for the authorities. The Council of Mortgage Lenders, which represents the banks and building societies, cautiously welcomed the move but claimed that there will be \"\"genuine practical barriers to effective implementation,\"\" and that it would clearly be far simpler – but more expensive – to exempt all properties under £250,000, rather than just those being bought by people who have never owned a home."

Many lenders offer mortgages of up to 95% loan-to-value (LTV) - that is, 95% of the cost of the property - and lone borrowers can usually raise up to 3.5 times their salary. This is enough for many borrowers, but rising house prices are making it increasingly difficulty for those who haven't got a 5% deposit to save one.

Like humans, dogs have two sets of teeth in their lives. The 28 baby teeth erupt through the gums between the third and sixth weeks of age. Puppies do not have to grind much food, so they do not have molars. Puppy teeth begin to shed and be replaced by permanent adult teeth at about four months of age. Although there is some variation in breeds, most adult dogs have 42 teeth, with the molars coming last, at about six or seven months. The order of tooth replacement is incisors first, then canines (fangs), and finally premolars. The teething period can be frustrating; the puppy clamps his mouth on everything he can reach, from body parts to Johnny's $80 sneakers, in an attempt to relieve the discomfort. Teething can be accompanied by drooling, irritability, and fluctuations in appetite. Boomer has six incisors on the upper jaw and six on the lower."

Under the puppy it says, “What I Expected,” and under the raptor, it says, “What I Got.” Now, your puppy isn’t about to hunt you down and eat you for breakfast, but when you’re dealing with puppy teething, the velociraptor description is surprisingly apt and probably has every dog parent wondering, “When do dogs stop teething?”Let’s find out all about how a dog’s teeth grow, what happens during puppy teething, when dogs stop teething and what you can do to avoid getting bitten and inadvertently teaching your dog a bad behavior as your puppy teethes. Dogs Grow Teeth in Sets Like We Do How dogs grow teeth is pretty similar to how humans grow teeth. Photography ©Chalabala | Thinkstock. Just like us humans, dogs grow two sets of teeth. Baby teeth come in first, followed by adult teeth. Unlike us humans, who take months and years to get all our teeth in, dogs do it in a matter of months. In fact, your puppy’s baby teeth start coming in between 3 to 5 weeks of age, and all their baby teeth are full grown by the time they’re 8 weeks old. Around age 4 to 6 months, the process starts all over again, with a dog’s adult teeth coming in."

Puppies mature into adults at a different time, which means that a large dog breed will mature into an adult at about 15 months, while smaller breeds will be puppies for only 9 months. So, you’ll need to feed a larger dog breed specially formulated puppy food for much longer than you would a smaller dog breed. They're not puppies forever Puppies experience many physical changes as they develop into adult dogs. Physical size and shape change as the bones lengthen and harden, joints mature and muscles, ligaments and tendons all grow to adult size. The coat changes from a soft, fluffy one to a denser adult dog coat. Baby teeth fall out and are replaced with permanent adult teeth. And the immune system matures so your dog is ready to handle the big, wide, outside world. Puppy age calculator Do you know if your dog is still a puppy?

"text": "\"Puppies Dogs Getting Started Puppy Teething Timeline By Amy Shojai Updated 01/15/18Share Pin Email ML Harris/The Image Bank/Getty Images Puppy teeth are particularly sharp and erupt from the gums in the jaw in a predictable timeline, referred to as puppy teething. Almost without exception, puppies are born without teeth. Deciduous teeth, or \"\"milk teeth\"\" begin to appear at about three weeks of age. By six to eight weeks of age, the puppy will have a full set of 28 baby teeth. During teething, your puppy may target all kinds of unexpected objects to gnaw and chew to relieve the discomfort. But most dogs never outgrow the urge to chew. Puppy Teething A puppy's age can be estimated by which teeth have erupted. While it can vary somewhat between breeds, here is the progression you can expect as your puppy develops new teeth: The incisors are the first to appear at about two to three weeks of age. Puppies have six incisors on both the top and bottom jaw at the front of the mouth. Four needle-like canines appear at age four weeks and frame the incisors, one on each side, top and bottom."

"text": "What Age Do You Need to Start Brushing Puppies' Teeth?by Lauren Corona Dog Care » Grooming Keep his teeth healthy for life with regular tooth brushing. Jupiterimages/Photo Objects.net/Getty Images O ral hygiene is just as important for dogs as it is for humans. If left without brushing, your dog's teeth will get a buildup of plaque and bacteria that is likely to lead to gum disease. Start brushing your puppy's teeth early and you can avoid any discomfort for him and inconvenience or expense for you that would be caused by tooth and gum problems later in life. When to Start Brushing There's no fixed age your puppy should be when you start brushing his teeth. Although it's not completely necessary to start until he begins losing his puppy teeth and gaining his permanent adult teeth, at between 4 and 6 month of age, the sooner you get started the better. Regularly brushing his teeth as a young puppy will get him used to you doing so and will make it much easier for you when he's fully grown. What You'll Need Before you get started, your puppy will need a toothbrush and some toothpaste, just like you do. Buy a specialist dog toothpaste, as they come in flavors that are more palatable to your puppy. Always avoid human toothpaste as it often contains xylitol, which is poisonous to dogs, and other ingredients that are designed to be spat out rather than swallowed."

"text": "Teeth line the upper and lower jaws of dogs and are used for tearing and shredding food. Puppies have 28 teeth, while adults have 42. The exact number can vary slightly. The teeth are living tissue and are covered with enamel, the hardest substance in the dog's body. Dentine is the next layer, and the core is called the pulp. The pulp contains blood vessels and nerves which nourish the teeth. The root of the tooth is buried beneath the gum. Some teeth, such as incisors, have one root, while the others, such as the upper fourth premolars, have as many as three roots. Teething in the puppy refers to the process of growing baby teeth (deciduous teeth) and ends with the adult or permanent teeth. The first baby teeth, sometimes referred to as 'milk teeth,' erupt from the gumline around four weeks of age."

When you purchase your puppy from a dog breeder, you are given information about her health, weight, temperament, precise age and parents. However, the age and background are seldom known about puppies who are strays, rescued, adoptable, living in shelters or being sold at pet stores. Estimating a puppy's age is possible if you examine tooth development or observe appearance and behavior. Teeth Step 1Open your puppy’s mouth carefully so you can look at and feel her gums. When puppies are born their teeth have not emerged, and this phase lasts until they are about 1 month old. This toothless state allows puppies to nurse without hurting the mother dog. Step 2Check your puppy’s gums to determine if you can see or feel any signs of teeth. When puppies are about 1 month old, deciduous or baby teeth begin to erupt."

Dogs are living beings like humans, and have a natural life cycle we need to be aware of. They are born from their parents, raised until the proper age, grow up to be mature adults, explore the world, and eventually pass away like us. They share experiences with their owners and fellow dogs – hence they are social animals and need to learn proper skills. When raising a dog, proper training for socialization, discipline, and many other factors are very important to prevent unwanted behavior when the dog grows up. Here are some basic stages of a dog’s complete life cycle, and some of the things a dog needs during those various stages: Natural Life Cycle of a Dog Embryonic Stage0-19 days: This is the start of fertilization. An embryo is formed from the joining of 2 cells. As time passes, they multiply to 4 and eventually 64 or more.20-33 days: The eyeballs, legs and paws start to take shape on the embryo.40 days: The embryo is now a fetus and begins to have a noticeable heartbeat.55 days: Their movement increases in this stage. A coat of hair, along with nails and paws appear, as well as milk teeth inside the gums. The most important thing we owners can do during this stage is to make sure the expectant mother gets proper nourishment, and has her comfort needs met."

When does this normally take place?— Tooth Fairy Troubles in Tucson Dear Tooth: Puppies do have very sharp teeth, especially when you feel them grabbing at your naked ankles in a friendly game of “look at me.” Just like humans, dogs have two sets of teeth, puppy and adult. The puppy teeth appear at about three weeks old. Because puppies don’t eat a lot of hard food when they are young and still relying on mother’s milk for nutrition, they don’t have any grinding molars. At around four months of age — and it can vary from breed to breed and even from dog to dog — the 28 puppy teeth are replaced with 42 adult canine teeth, which include the molars. You will see six incisors on the top and bottom (these are the smaller front teeth located between the large fang-like canines)."

It can be a bit less frustrating if you consider that for almost the first year of his life, your puppy is dealing with some big changes going on in his mouth. Dogs have two sets of teeth: 28 deciduous (baby) teeth, which will eventually be replaced by 42 permanent (adult) teeth. When a puppy is two or three weeks old, the deciduous teeth begin to erupt through the gums, starting with the incisors, followed by the canine teeth, and finally the premolars. All of the deciduous teeth should be in place by about eight weeks of age. These first teeth are small, and painfully sharp, as owners of young puppies know. This is part of the reason most mother dogs begin to wean their pups at 5 or 6 weeks of age. By eight to twelve weeks of age, the roots of the deciduous teeth are starting to resorb and the teeth begin to loosen and fall out. This makes room for the permanent teeth to erupt normally. As with the deciduous teeth, the permanent incisors are the first to come in, followed by the canine teeth, and the premolars."

Natural foods also include raw meaty bones Always check with your vet first that raw bones are suitable for your particular puppy (e.g. some puppies may have misshapen jaws and may have difficulty chewing on raw bones)Bones must always be raw Choose human-grade raw meat and raw meaty bones because some pet meat /pet mince/pet rolls /pet meat and bone products can contain preservatives that can be detrimental to the puppy's health (e.g. sulphite preservative induced thiamine deficiency which can be fatal)."

"text": "What to Expect from Your 6 month old Puppy Dog Care > Puppy Care >29 Mar, 2016 Pet Place.com Veterinarians 346,505 Views Share At about 5 to 6 months, if you have more than one pup, you may find that play becomes more aggressive and exhibits some nipping, growling, and other general displays of dominance. Many males, and some females, will begin humping each other at this stage as they rehearse for their adult roles. Such behavior is acceptable as long as it is not directed towards you. Puppies can be taught to sit, lie down, wait, stay, leave it, and other such useful commands that will stay with them for the rest of their lives. Once these behaviors have been learned they should be reinforced periodically throughout life. This is the usual time for formal puppy training classes outside the home. Such classes are extremely helpful as long as they are conducted in a non-confrontational way. The following list will help you know what to expect from your puppy has he develops.

If you are interested in the why's and how's of it, this article will provide you with something to \"\"put your teeth into. \"\" If you're the owner of a young puppy, you may want to learn more about the process, some causes for concern and how you can best take care of your puppy's teeth. Why Are Puppy's Teeth So Sharp? One obvious purpose is that, back in time, pups needed some teeth in order to chomp on their very first samples of meat. Speculation has it that the sharpness had two more specific purposes: starting the weaning process and aiding the pups in learning the basics of bite inhibition. Weaning When the pups are growing, their teeth start irritating the mother dog when she nurses. It's totally normal, therefore, for her to start resenting nursing (and who can blame her!) and start moving away."

"text": "\"Frequently Asked Questions What do I need to know about my Yorkies teeth? Puppies start to get their puppy teeth at the age of 3 to 4 weeks. They will start with 28 puppy teeth. These teeth will be replaced with their 42 permanent adult teeth at about the age of four months. Dogs have four different types of teeth: Molars – used for chewing Premolars – hold and break up the food Canines – used to hold and tear the food into small pieces Incisors – cut and nibble As with all other dogs, Yorkies have two sets of teeth in their life. The first set of teeth is the 28-piece deciduous teeth (often referred to as \"\"milk teeth\"\", \"\"baby teeth\"\" or \"\"puppy teeth\"\"). The second set is the 42-piece permanent or adult teeth. Sometimes the number of permanent or adult teeth may vary, which is fine as long as they do not cause a bad bite (over-bite/under-bite). When puppies are born, they have no teeth because milk is the only food they need. The deciduous teeth will grow from the age of 3 to 8 weeks old, in the order of incisors, canine/ fangs and premolars."

Why does the American Maltese Association code of ethics require a Maltese puppy be 12 weeks of age before they are placed in homes? There are many reasons!! I am going to compare lab puppies to Maltese puppies because I have had experience with both breeds in hopes of making it more easily understandable as to why this \"\"12-week-old\"\" rule exists for Maltese and many other \"\"toy\"\" breeds. At birth there is not a lot of difference between Maltese puppies and lab puppies.......both litters depend on their moms for food, comfort, and heat. Shortly there after the differences start to become very apparent. A litter of three week old lab puppies are up playing and maneuvering around pretty well and are usually 3 pounds or more in weight. They are also getting their teeth and starting to eat gruel. A litter of Maltese puppies at three weeks of age have an average weight of 13.5 ounces and are just barely starting to get up on their legs and maneuver around readily....they have very little coordination at this point."

They lose their baby teeth from about four to six months and their adult teeth begin to grow in at about six to ten months. It is important to allow your puppy to chew to help his teeth come in, however you need to teach your puppy what is OK to chew and what is not. During this time your puppy's teeth will feel very uncomfortable and the pup will want to chew on everything trying to relieve the discomfort. He is not chewing purposely to upset you, he is simply uncomfortable. Do not allow your puppy to chew or bite on humans as it will be setting yourself up for problems in the future. The best way to handle a teething puppy is, every time the pup chews on something he is not allowed to chew on take it away and immediately give him something he is allowed to chew on."

My response is always the same...it's not about stopping the chewing but about managing the chewing. I find that when I explain that a puppy has a biological need to chew that the person's focus quickly shifts from how-to-stop-the-chewing to how-to-manage-the-chewing. Puppies Need to Chew!Teething: Between approximately 4 months to 7 months of age, puppies start to break in their new adult teeth. Just like with babies, there is a certain discomfort associated with these new teeth coming in. This is the stage when puppy chewing is in full force. ( Seems weird, I know.

In that short window, a dog’s experiences shape his opinions about what’s safe and what’s scary — opinions that can be hard to change later on. During puppyhood, your dog will: Learn how to get along with other dogs, if he has lots of positive interactions with them. A dog who misses out on these interactions — part of what trainers call socialization — can grow up to be fearful or aggressive around other canines. Learn how to be safe and friendly around humans, if he has lots of positive interactions with people of all sorts. Without these interactions — also an important part of puppy socialization — a pup can grow up to be fearful or aggressive with humans. This goes for all breeds. Get used to the hustle and bustle of family life. If you expose your pup to dishwashers, vacuum cleaners, other pets, cars — basically all the things he’ll be living with as a family dog — he’s more likely to take all those things in stride as an adult."

Sexual maturity, the loss of the sweet fuzzy puppy fuzz that is replaced with the dog hair that will clog up your vacuum for the rest of his life, and that beautiful day when he figures out once and for all exactly where the potty for puppies is makes a dog’s human proud and gives us the sense that our time and energy is being well spent.

I have a puppy now and I'm dreading the day the puppy breath disappears and dog breath takes over. There are differing opinions on what causes it. Some think it's the mother's milk, although I doubt this as puppy breath lasts for another month or so after the puppies stop nursing.

When you purchase your puppy from a dog breeder, you are given information about her health, weight, temperament, precise age and parents. However, the age and background are seldom known about puppies who are strays, rescued, adoptable, living in shelters or being sold at pet stores. Estimating a puppy's age is possible if you examine tooth development or observe appearance and behavior. Teeth Step 1Open your puppy’s mouth carefully so you can look at and feel her gums. When puppies are born their teeth have not emerged, and this phase lasts until they are about 1 month old. This toothless state allows puppies to nurse without hurting the mother dog. Step 2Check your puppy’s gums to determine if you can see or feel any signs of teeth. When puppies are about 1 month old, deciduous or baby teeth begin to erupt."

Dogs' sizes range from 2-pound Chihuahuas to 200-pound mastiffs. Your little buddy stops growing before he's 1 year old, while your gentle giant won't reach full growth until he's 3. Growth Stages Whether your playful new pal is a small or large breed, he will grow in two significant phases. The first, from birth to 4 or 5 months of age, is rapid as the main part of your puppy's skeleton develops. The second phase is slower. Muscles develop, and your youngster continues to gain weight until he has reached full growth. The duration of this second phase varies considerably, depending on the ultimate size of the adult dog. Because growth in phase one is so rapid, your puppy's energy requirements are double those of an adult dog."

It can be frustrating for an owner, as puppies are not able to understand the boundaries yet, which means elimination happens in places it shouldn’t. When they need to go, they go, and you need to be aware of that as an owner. This is actually the approach that puppies take to everything, including eating, sleeping, and playing. They think of very little outside of those things. What that means is that it fall on you, the owner, to tech your puppy responsible behavior. You need to teach them what your requirements are, unless of course you just want them to keeping doing things the way you don’t like. There are 4 elements to be found in every successful puppy potty training regimen:1. Confinement2. Training3."

Under the puppy it says, “What I Expected,” and under the raptor, it says, “What I Got.” Now, your puppy isn’t about to hunt you down and eat you for breakfast, but when you’re dealing with puppy teething, the velociraptor description is surprisingly apt and probably has every dog parent wondering, “When do dogs stop teething?”Let’s find out all about how a dog’s teeth grow, what happens during puppy teething, when dogs stop teething and what you can do to avoid getting bitten and inadvertently teaching your dog a bad behavior as your puppy teethes. Dogs Grow Teeth in Sets Like We Do How dogs grow teeth is pretty similar to how humans grow teeth. Photography ©Chalabala | Thinkstock. Just like us humans, dogs grow two sets of teeth. Baby teeth come in first, followed by adult teeth. Unlike us humans, who take months and years to get all our teeth in, dogs do it in a matter of months. In fact, your puppy’s baby teeth start coming in between 3 to 5 weeks of age, and all their baby teeth are full grown by the time they’re 8 weeks old. Around age 4 to 6 months, the process starts all over again, with a dog’s adult teeth coming in."

"text": "\"How to Tell When a Puppy Is Full Grown By Kelly Roper Dog Breeder and Exhibitor Sometimes it's difficult to judge whether or not a puppy is fully grown. Many people follow the old adage that a puppy is automatically finished growing and maturing by the time it's one year old, but this isn't always the case. It's also important to make a distinction between the time that puppies reach their full adult size versus the time it takes them to mature. Signs a Pup Is Fully Grown Most canines reach their full size by the time they are 12 to 18 months old, although it does take longer for some of the largest breeds to finish growing. Some breeds even reach a full frame within the first six months of life, although it takes longer for the rest of the body to catch up. Here's a general guideline that will show you when you can expect your puppy to stop growing. Small Breeds These pups tend to reach their full-sized framework between six and eight months old, and they'll typically fill out to their full weight by 12 months old. Medium Breeds You can expect breeds that fall into this group to reach their full-sized framework between 12 and 15 months old, but they usually won't reach their full weight until they're closer to 18 months old. Large Breeds This group is slower growing, and most large puppies won't reach their full-sized frame until 15 to 18 months old and their full adult weight until they're about two years old. Giant Breeds Dogs like Mastiffs, Great Pyrenees, Saint Bernards and Newfoundlands take the longest to reach full size."

An inordinate amount of growth and development is occurring in an incredibly brief amount of time. While it takes weeks for the puppy to be able to stand and walk around, that's still only the beginning. Neonatal Period: Survival The first two weeks of a puppy's life are called the neonatal period, and it's all about survival. The puppy is born utterly dependent -- unable to see, hear, walk, or even sustain his own body temperature. He does, however, have the sense of smell, as well as the sense of touch, and he'll use both to find and remain near his mother, the source of warmth and food. During this time the puppy spends 10 percent of his time eating and 90 percent of his time sleeping, often twitching, kicking and whimpering as he slumbers in what is called \"\"activated sleep.\"\" This sleep activity is the newborn puppy's only means of exercise, and it helps his muscles strengthen and develop.

Follow 8 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: 8-12 weeks Age to Separate from Litter Puppies should not be separated from their mother and littermates before 8 weeks of age. Many recommend 10 weeks minimum. This is related to physical considerations such as weaning and psychological considerations such as the puppy's readiness to leave the litter. Many breeders believe it is best to NOT have two puppies together. They tend to bond to each other and not to you and that can cause serious problems when it comes time to train them. Having two puppies needing housetraining at the same time can make that process go on for much longer. This implies that you would not introduce a second dog before the other six months old and properly trained."

That isn’t to say that dogs shouldn’t be spayed or neutered; that’s a personal decision best left to the pet owner. Like vaccines and most routine veterinary procedures however, vets spend a lot of time discussing why you should spay or neuter your dog, but spend very little time talking about why you shouldn’t. The goal of this article is to give you the information your vet doesn’t, so you can make the best possible decision for your dog. I’ll preface the article by stating that I breed Labrador Retrievers, a breed that can be prone to hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as cruciate tears. The families that get one of my puppies receive a warranty of sorts, saying that I have done everything I can to prevent these issues. If, despite my best efforts, the puppy I’ve bred ends up with a debilitating joint issue, I will refund the purchase price to the puppy’s family. There is one disclaimer however and it’s as follows: if the family decides to spay or neuter the puppy before 24 months of age, my warranty is null and void. The reason is that research shows I can’t guarantee the puppy’s joints won’t be affected by this seemingly simple medical procedure."

I f you own an intact dog, you might want to discuss the idea of getting him fixed with a veterinarian.

Intact dogs also frequently exhibit hormonal behaviors that are stressful not only to themselves, but also to the people in their lives. Early Age Spaying and Neutering It's thought to be safe to spay and neuter young puppies once they're 8 weeks old, indicates the ASPCA. Puppies living in shelters are frequently fixed when they're around this age, before going home with their future families. When dogs are this tender age, their anesthesia needs are lower than those of more mature canines, according to author Kim Campbell Thornton and veterinarian Debra Eldredge.

I highly recommend watching the free video series belowas the information is very beneficial when training a GSD. The main reason I have been reluctant to add this in the past - because so many people, especially new owners, get so caught up in these numbers that they almost forget everything else about their GSDs growth. It's almost as if, in their zeal to raise their new puppy, that they become obsessed with matching these numbers and eventually become overwhelmed. Especially if their German Shepherd puppy does not match these numbers exactly. So just remember: RELAX! These numbers are only AVERAGES!If you don't forget that rule, then you will be just fine. But if you get obsessed with the numbers that you see in the German Shepherd Growth Chart above and think your GSD puppy must match them exactly, then you will probably never be completely happy because I can almost certainly assure you that your German Shepherd Dog puppy will never perfectly match the numbers on this chart .

A Newfoundland may be a \"\"giant\"\" breed but they are possibly one of the most vulnerable dogs in terms of health and exercise. If you want to take your dogs on long walks whilst young, then a Newfoundland is possibly not for you. It is vitally important that you build your exercise up very gently. This is to be built up over time and when there is an obvious growth stage, take extra care. Walks should be built up at a steady pace to build muscle correctly. The growth of these dogs is so vast in such a short space of time, therefore their joints need to adapt and change constantly. This is why an overweight puppy can too lead to joint problems in early life. If growth is too quick most advise you switch you puppy onto adult food to slow down the growth process. For me, it is important not so much the protein if you are feeding a high quality kibble, but you do not want to feed a kibble too high in calcium and phosphorous."

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Animal Life Mammals Land Mammals Domestic Dogs Dog Breeds What age can you breed a pit bull male? Flag What age can you breed a pit bull male? Answer by Summer Maple Confidence votes 37.5KTechnically you could breed a male dog starting at about 9 months of age. However, this is a very bad idea - the dog has not finished growing yet and you don't know if he has bad conformation or traits yet either. Ideally you wouldn't breed a dog until he is at least 3 years old. This allows the dog to grow into his full frame and muscle development and allows you to see if there are any subtle conformation or behavioral problems that would make him unsuitable for breeding. Also, you may want to ask why you are breeding your dog in the first place. There are thousands of dogs that are euthanized every year because they were unwanted or abandoned. Breeding your dog will only add to the pet overpopulation problem, unless you are being very careful about what you are breeding, how many puppies there are and who you are selling them to. Pit bulls in particular tend to end up in pounds and shelters because there is a perception that they are dangerous.1 person found this useful Was this answer useful?"

Anyway, the site that the person posting before me posted will tell you how to try to discover, and the site probably has pictures too, use them. The harder part is trying to figure out if you're seeing an o (which would be a male) or a teardrop looking thingy (which would be female).santana84_02 · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment Bunny Sex Source (s):https://shrinks.im/babx0hamack · 1 year ago0 0 Comment How To Sex Baby Rabbits Source (s):https://shorte.im/bb8M4swenson · 1 year ago0 0 Comment5 weeks is a little young to tell- they may look female, but turn out male later because they weren't developed yet. Some males are developed at that age, other's aren't. All you need to do is flip the rabbit upside down, and on the top fuzzy lip sticking out between their legs (not by the anus), just press down on both sides and something will pop out. If it is a short lip, maybe a half cm or so, it is a female (or an underdeveloped male) if it sticks out a cm or more, it is a male. This website has pictures, but remember these are adult rabbits- babies won't be as pronounced."

Follow 23 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: We feed our six year old indoor bunn carrots and pellets and parsley and mint every day, and he's extremely healthy. And hay and water is always available to him of course too :-) Generally speaking, before six months, bunnies' main diet should be hay, water, and lucerne pellets. Some say you can begin introducing vegetables at four months, some say not until six months of age. Most importantly, when you begin to introduce vegies, you must do it VERY slowly and gradually - begin with just one slice or one very small piece of your chosen vegie or fruit, and make sure it doesn't give her diarrhoea over the next 24 hours before giving any more. Please see my website, where I've written articles on this, at http://au.geocities.com/leaswebsite/bunn...

Various types of dry and fresh grasses and plants with leaves comprise the largest portion of the wild rabbit diet. Rabbits will also eat bark on trees, tender twigs and sprouts, fruits, seeds and other nutritious foods in much small amounts. This is important to know when we decide what is a healthy diet for our house rabbits. The majority of the house rabbit diet should be composed ofgrass hay (any variety). Grass hay is rich in Vitamin A and D as well as calcium, protein and other nutrients. Eating hay promotes healthy teeth and gastrointestinal tract and should be available to your rabbit at all times. Varying the type of grass hay or mixing hays is a great idea (such as timothy, orchard, oat hay, brome, etc). Avoid the use of alfalfa hay as the primary source of hay due to the fact it is very high in calories and protein, far more than the average house rabbit needs. Alfalfa is not a grass, but rather a legume (in the pea and bean family)."

"text": "By Helen-Anne Travis What do you feed a rabbit? The answer is simple. Rabbits thrive on high-fiber diets rich in grass hays including timothy, brome and orchardgrass hay. Those new to rabbit ownership may think the big bags of pellets for sale at the local pet store are all a rabbit should eat. Instead, the pellets are more like a rabbit multivitamin, providing supplemental minerals, protein and fiber. “Pellets are far too rich to make up the bulk of [a rabbit’s] diet,” said Dr. Peter Helmer, a specialist in small mammals at Blue Pearl Veterinary Partners in Clearwater, FL. “ Rabbits have evolved eating grasses and roots; there are no pellet dispensers in the wild. ”You can also feed your pet rabbit fresh vegetables, but not the carrots we associate with Bugs Bunny. Carrots have more sugar than adult rabbits’ digestive tracts prefer. Small amounts are fine as treats, Helmer said, but dark leafy greens are preferred."

Researching and analyzing \"\"premium,\"\" \"\"prescription,\"\" \"\"natural,\"\" and even vegetarian foods on the market is time consuming, but having precise knowledge about the quality of ingredients, digestibility, and protein-fat ratio in the various foods has given me confidence that what our animals are eating is making them healthier and perhaps even extending their lives. I had felt frustrated because the same quality and choices were not available to me in rabbit food, but recent reviews of dietary data by veterinarians who treat house rabbits, combined with their practical experience, have changed all of that. Although much of the research on rabbit nutrition has been conducted with more of an emphasis on productivity rather than longevity, even this research makes it clear that we can do a great deal for our rabbits by making sure that what they eat is affecting them positively, rather than contributing to the life-threatening digestive disorders we all fear. While it is not possible to state definitively what the \"\"best\"\" feeding plan is, the experiences of HRS fosterers, members, and veterinarians have given us valuable information on what works and what doesn't. Internal Affairs To begin with, it is important to understand the way a rabbit's gut works. Because a rabbit's digestive system is set up to ingest cellulose in the form of tough, woody stems and fibrous vegetation, it functions best when it has something to work with (Brown 1994). However, large quantities of finely ground feed, sugars, and high levels of carbohydrates can overwork the gut. Therefore, the key to keeping rabbits alive and happy longer is to make sure their digestive tracts stay viable and motile, while striking a balance between indigestible fiber and nutrition. More Like Horses Than Cats Like horses, rabbits have long digestive tracts that slowly break down and process cellulose."

But fiber, while important, is only part of the story. Protein and fat and the sources from which they come are also vital pieces in the nutritional puzzle. Because rabbits are still not considered “equal” to dogs and cats by the pet food industry, information about rabbit nutrition and what is best for rabbits is slow in coming. Animal Fat and the Protein Myth Humans are now learning that we require a lot less protein than previously believed. Even strict vegetarians may consume more protein than necessary. Rabbits possess neither the need for animal protein nor the capacity to process it, and their fat requirement is also low; 1-2% is plenty for most. Studies have shown that rabbits, like human beings, develop atherosclerosis-like symptoms when exposed to the cholesterol in animal fat (Cheeke 1987, 325; Beynan 1990, 185-186). Experts in rabbit nutrition have said that “it is well recognized that vegetable oils usually are more digestible and have a higher energy value for swine and poultry than do animal fats. This appears to be true in rabbits also” (Cheeke 1987, 99)."

What to Feed Rabbits Fiber is vital to the normal function of the digestive system in rabbits. Fresh grass hay and vegetables should make up the bulk of the diet for house rabbits. Feeding a diet consisting mainly of pellets may result in obesity and increase the likelihood of digestive problems. While there is some fiber in pellets, it is finely ground and does not appear to stimulate intestinal function as well as the fiber found in grass hays. Roughage, such as hay, also aids in the prevention of hairballs and keeps teeth trimmed. The addition of some pellets does add some balance to the diet, however, if your rabbit is a picky eater. Anything other than hay, vegetables, and pellets is considered a treat and should be feed in strict moderation. The digestive system of a rabbit is very susceptible to serious upsets ( ileus) if the diet is inappropriate. The number of pellets should be restricted, especially in overweight rabbits, but any reduction in pellets should be made up with a variety of fresh vegetables and unlimited access to hay."

If you have also adopted a pet wild rabbit then it is important for you to be aware of two important points. First, these rabbits feed on every possible thing that they find around, so keep your garden out of their reach. Second, they need to eat most of them time when they are awake, so have enough stock of their food. There are 16 species of wild rabbits and all of these are herbivorous. Another important thing for you to realize is that rabbits cannot alone survive on carrots and spinach. In fact, excess of these things can even cause death in some wild rabbits.

Answered May 21, 2011 · Author has 1k answers and 2.5m answer views On the whole, racehorses are amongst the worst group to greneralise about these things, of all horses. It depends on the owner, their attitude, the fertility of the horse and their ambitions for it. The commonest thing to kill a racehorse, is, frankly, the wallet of its owner. If the horse is a stallion, he is often only run enough times to prove himself, before retirement to stud: the risk of losing a good breeder is too high to run him to a greater reputation. A mare faces a similar future, except her outcome is more dependent on the kindness of her owners, versus the cruel financial decisions about how many successful gestations can be had from her within one lifetime of breeding: she is a mare, after all. A gelding can live as long as his owners and his fame allows him, after he leaves the track. Red Rum lived past twenty, and died in October 1995 - how we love to remember these exceptions, because it almost absolves us of the harsh and hard-nosed decisions that dominate the fates of most racing geldings. All these things in racing, rely upon the owners and their aims, ambitions and sympathies, you see? In private horse ownership, things are different."

Delmar has an elevation of 881 feet above sea level. Anyone reading up on the history of old Winston has probably come across the probable stories of how the town of Delmar got its name. We all have heard that it was once called Frog Level (presumably because of the swampy area that existed around the community at that time), but in the newspaper, even in 1938, the story of the Spanish racehorse was circulating. Here is the paragraph from the first volume heritage book: \"\"The exact origin of the name \"\"Delmar\"\" is not known. But a popular belief has it that Delmar got its name from a famous racehorse…During the construction of the railroad through Delmar during the 1800s, there was a construction engineer who owned a retired racehorse by the name of ‘Del Mar’ or ‘Delmar,’ [which means ‘from the sea.’] The horse was well-known and loved by the community. When the construction work was completed and the engineer and the horse left, the people renamed their community after the horse.\"\" Other suggestions are going around that it was spelled backward to \"\"Ramled\"\" because of the wild rams in the area at that time.

Many people are under the impression that it's okay to begin riding a horse at 2 years old.

And I might as well go ahead and say it: This must be one of my #1 pet peeves when it comes to horses. What many people don't realize is that yes, racehorses are ridden at 2 (often at 1 yr old) BUT racehorses are usually retired by 6 or 7 years of age. Many are retired before that. The most sickening part is that many are permanently lamed and many have to be euthanized (put to sleep) by the age of 2, 3 or 4.

After Lester Piggott he was the next most successful jockey of the modern era winning 11 titles – the same number as Piggott - four Arc de Triomphes, three Epsom Derbys, two Breeders’ Cup races and, during a career riding which spanned 36 years from 1967 to 2003 he rode the winners of 4,633 races. Only Sir Gordon Richards has ridden more winners since the war. Pat Eddery, pictured at Kempton racecourse in 2014After he retired he took up training in 2005 from his stud in Buckinghamshire but it never really took off although he preserved with it and had his last runner at Chelmsford on Saturday. Irish-born from a racing family, he was a natural size for a Flat jockey he had an empathy with horses which would be the envy of nearly every jockey in the weighing room because you do not ride that many winners if horses do not run for you.

I get so many kids each year that come to me looking for some sort of advice and direction into this career of being a jockey. It's tough to find any information unless you know someone in the business. There is no guide, handbook, or general rule on how to become a jockey or what is involved, but I hope that I can somewhat enlighten anyone and everyone about this mysterious career. Jockey Frank Lovato Jr at Arlington Park 2004ARE YOU THE RIGHT SIZE? The first question I get when asked what it takes to be a jockey is \"\"you have to be short, right?\"\" To me that would compare to asking what it takes to be a lawyer and just needing a briefcase. Of course it doesn't hurt being short but it's more about the weight of the person, not the height. Jockeys tend to be short people only because they can make the weight assignments required in thoroughbred horse racing. I am 5' but I was one of the shorter jockeys."

"text": "Sports Horse Racing How many years can a race horse race before you haft to retire the race horse?1 following 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: It really depends on the horse, many racers are already retired by the age of three or four. This is sad that their career ends so soon, but racing is hard and breeding is worth more money. However, some horses peak at older ages, and race as late as six years old, or even later. It is rare to see a top quality pro racers older than six. Many racers are considered to be prime racing age at three years of age, this is when all the important races are such as the Kentucky Derby. Steeple-chasers are different, they tend to be racing longer, sometimes into their teen years. Keep in mind your question is a total opinion question. Horses generally do not mature fully until the age of four to six, so as you can see racehorses are all still babies at the height of their career. This is why it is SO important that your racers get lots of rest, and train in NOTHING but racing. Racing is hard enough for them, so please if racing be sure to rest your babies and keep them ONLY racing until they retire from their racing career. :)"

"text": "Sports | HORSE RACINGHORSE RACING; Where No Gelding Has Gone Before By JOE DRAPE JUNE 1, 2003The saga of Funny Cide is a fairy tale, beginning with his place in history as the first New York-bred horse to capture the Kentucky Derby and down to the charm of his small-time owners -- a cross of upstate high school buddies and devotees of horse racing's Brigadoon, Saratoga Springs. They have boarded a yellow school bus in Louisville and again in Baltimore to watch their modest purchase run off with the first two legs of the Triple Crown. Now Funny Cide is a victory from becoming the 12th horse to sweep the series and the first since Affirmed did so in 1978. His owners are just the mile-and-a-half distance of the Belmont Stakes, the Test of the Champion, from pocketing a $5 million bonus. But one textbook fact slows the narrative and erodes some of the romance of this tale: Funny Cide is a gelding, or a castrated horse. It is not uncommon to find geldings in races at tracks across the nation: of the 72,825 individual thoroughbred starters in North America in 2002, 18,796 -- or 25.8 percent -- were geldings, according to Jockey Club officials, who say that estimate is on the low side because of incomplete reporting. They win, too, taking down more than $282 million in purse money last year, or 23.1 percent of the purses available in North America in 2002. It is also not unusual to find geldings in the pantheon of the sport's great and most beloved horses. Kelso was named Horse of the Year five years in a row from 1960 to 1964, Forego claimed that title three times in the 1970's and John Henry twice in the 1980's. But a gelding has never challenged for a Triple Crown."

A: Quick Answer Though considered one of the greatest racehorses in history, Seabiscuit never ran in any of the Triple Crown Races.

Though he began his racing career at the age of two, Seabiscuit was considered too lazy by his owner and was consigned to smaller races. Seabiscuit grew out of this state late in his fourth year, but this was too late to participate in the Triple Crown.

Flag At what age can a horse start training? Edit Answer by Laura Frog Confidence votes 4.0KMost horses that are responsibly trained by responsible owners begin training as two or three year olds. The racehorse industry is very irresponsible. Horses are backed (saddled and taught to carry weight) as yearlings and raced as two-year-olds. The strain caused by working this hard before their full strength causes most racehorses to wear up and die around age 15 (compared to 30 for a well-looked-after horse.) Responsibly-trained horses are backed as two-year-olds, ridden lightly as three-year-olds, and begin a training schedule aged 2 or 3.2 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Sudden death syndrome describes a sudden, unexpected death which may occur during sleep, while awake, or just after exercise Most are due to a heart condition and are known as sudden arrhythmia death or sudden cardiac death syndrome Sudden arrhythmia death is most commonly due to a serious abnormal change to the heart's rhythm known as an arrhythmia, such as ventricular tachycardia Sudden cardiac death describes a sudden death as a result of an un-resuscitated cardiac arrest or heart attack There are a number of heart conditions that can cause sudden death syndrome however the cause of sudden death can often remain unknown until a post-mortem has been performed Dr Evans said racehorses go through 'massive changes' in their cardiovascular system when they were racing because they were going from a gentle life in a paddock to training at high speeds."

Thoroughbred Thoroughbred race horse Country of origin England Traits Distinguishing features Tall, slim, athletic horse, used for racing and many equestrian sports Breed standards The Jockey Club Australian Stud Book General Stud Book Equus ferus caballus The Thoroughbred is a horse breed best known for its use in horse racing. Although the word thoroughbred is sometimes used to refer to any breed of purebred horse, it technically refers only to the Thoroughbred breed. Thoroughbreds are considered \"\" hot-blooded \"\" horses that are known for their agility, speed, and spirit. The Thoroughbred as it is known today was developed in 17th and 18th-century England, when native mares were crossbred with imported Oriental stallions of Arabian, Barb, and Turkoman breeding. All modern Thoroughbreds can trace their pedigrees to three stallions originally imported into England in the 17th century and 18th century and to a larger number of foundation mares of mostly English breeding. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the Thoroughbred breed spread throughout the world; they were imported into North America starting in 1730 and into Australia, Europe, Japan and South America during the 19th century. Millions of Thoroughbreds exist today, and around 100,000 foals are registered each year worldwide. Thoroughbreds are used mainly for racing, but are also bred for other riding disciplines such as show jumping, combined training, dressage, polo, and fox hunting. They are also commonly crossbred to create new breeds or to improve existing ones, and have been influential in the creation of the Quarter Horse, Standardbred, Anglo-Arabian, and various warmblood breeds."

Jun 13, 2015Gary West Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Emailprintcomment Winning the Triple Crown was a great accomplishment, but did it make American Pharoah a great racehorse? Well, not necessarily. Twelve horses have swept the famed series, not all of them were great and, frankly, the jury's still out on the latest. And for American Pharoah, that will be the focus of horse racing's second season, its second half of the year. The first season, as always, focused on the Triple Crown. For most of the country's outstanding horses, the second season is about championships because this is where they'll win them. But for American Pharoah, it's all about legacy because this is where he'll build it. In 1919, after Sir Barton became the first horse to sweep what became known as the sport's Triple Crown, he lost four of his next five races. In 1935, making his first start after winning the Belmont Stakes, Omaha ran third in the Brooklyn Handicap, so in his only meeting that year with older horses, he failed miserably, eased up while finishing 12 lengths behind Discovery."

They're bathed, groomed, wrapped, fed a LOT (my horse acted like he was starving when he went to two pounds of grain a day because he wasn't WORKING any more), they get regular exercise, when they're given a layoff health allowing they're turned out (most high-value show horses don't get unlimited turnout as turnout is probably the most dangerous thing horses ever do-I've seen them die from getting kicked, snapping legs, impaling themselves on uncapped T-posts or broken boards, and while a scar on a racehorse doesn't really matter a scar on a show horse can destroy their value even if they're still sound), they're hand-walked at the track or put on hot-walkers. Their daily lives generally involve a lot more human interaction than most horses get. Once retired, if they're sold for breeding, they's spend most of their time turned out (in Australia, Black Caviar even foaled in her turnout! ), stallions may get ridden a little as the notion of letting them get grossly fat is going out of fashion, especially after no work and too much food lead to Secretariat's early death from laminitis. Seattle Slew, meanwhile, was ridden often while standing at stud until he was quite old and began suffering from an age-related degenerative nerve problem. Training centers are different again--similar routine with stalls, constant exercise, but more opportunities for hand-grazing and turnout. ( Our stakes horse is at a barn in MD that has me drooling with envy. Dickinson basically built a UK/Ireland-style facility with all the therapeutic bells and whistles too-I'd like a salt-water spa bath! The training track, meanwhile, is a huge long ride. )"

Emotions unfold over time and depend on appraisal, reactivity, and regulatory mechanisms. This article discusses discrete negative, positive, and self-conscious emotions and the neuroanatomical systems that support them. Implications for psychiatric disorders and neurological diseases that impact emotion are also reviewed. Keywords Affect; Anger; Autonomic nervous system; Behavior; Disgust; Emotion; Facial expression;Fear; Happiness; Limbic; Sadness; Self-conscious emotion; Sympathetic Emotions For centuries, emotions have taken center stage in the writings of philosophers and psychologists. Despite this scholarly attention, however, there continues to be much debate around what emotions are, how to measure them, and how they manifest in the brain and body. The past century has brought advances in our understanding of the architecture and neuroanatomical correlates of emotion. More recently, the fields of neurology, psychiatry, and neuroscience have begun to integrate basic emotion theory and methods into patient studies and animal models of psychiatric and neurological disorders, highlighting the importance of emotional mechanisms in a variety of clinical problems. A Historical Perspective Great thinkers have long speculated about the nature and substance of emotion. In the fourth and third centuries (BC), Plato wrote that the rational, appetitive, and ‘spirited’ aspects of the soul were centered in the head, liver, and heart, respectively."

"text": "The Difference Between Premonition and Precognition Premonition and precognition are two distinct words often confused and used interchangeably. This article will serve to define the two terms individually, and explore both their similarities and their unique differences. The realm of parapsychology, defined by Wikipedia as the “study of a number of ostensibly paranormal phenomena”, is extensive, covering everything from telepathy to reincarnation. While frequent debate occurs regarding the scientific validity and soundness of the field itself, equal conflict exists when attempting to define its very terms. The issue is further complicated by the portrayal of parapsychology in mainstream media and entertainment. Television shows dealing with the paranormal and occult practices continue to flourish, though rarely bothering to correctly define their terms and accurately portray the major ideas of the field. The unavoidable result is a sorely misinformed public, only able to grasp a vague generalization of what parapsychology is all about. Case in point, the confusion between premonition and precognition. Both clearly cover similar grounds, having to do with ‘the before’. Both deal with certain elements of clairvoyance, and both terms originated from Latin roots."

However, pain is more than a sensation, or thephysical awareness of pain; it also includes perception, the subjective interpretation of thediscomfort. Perception gives information on the pain's location, intensity, and something aboutits nature. The various conscious and unconscious responses to both sensation and perception,including the emotional response, add further definition to the overall concept of pain. Description Pain arises from any number of situations. Injury is a major cause, but pain may also arise from an illness. It may accompany a psychological condition, such as depression, or may even occur in the absence of a recognizable trigger.

It is often contrasted with the similarly inclusive pain, or suffering, of all our feeling bad. [ 1] Nowadays “ happiness ” is often used similarly, which leads to confusion with older uses signifying overall good fortune or success in life that figure in self-reports of happiness and in ‘happiness studies’ of the diverse sources of these. Pleasure presents as good and attractive – itself, when it comes to our notice, and all else that appears aglow in its light. This suggests simple explanations both of why people pursue pleasure and why there are reasons to do so. That we may prefer and choose something for its pleasure suggests that there are facts about pleasure that make some such choices better than others. Philosophers, taking this suggestion further, have sometimes taken pleasure to be a single simple (feature of) experience that makes experiences good and attractive to the extent it is present . This simple picture has often been associated with more sweeping normative and psychological claims, all ambiguously called “ hedonism ”. These take pleasure’s goodness and attractiveness (and pain’s badness and aversiveness) to (between them) explain all of human value, normative practical reasons, and motivation. Pleasure and pain would, if views of all three kinds were true, be the only ultimately good- and bad-making features of human (and relevantly similar animal) life and also both the only actual ultimate ends and the only justified ultimate ends of all our voluntary pursuit and avoidance."

"text": "20 Twin Flame Signs – Who is Your Mirror Soul?by Aletheia Luna 136 Comments Share Stumble Pin Whats App Email20KSave The moment you meet your twin flame is the moment the earth beneath your feet begins to shift. I like to think of the meeting of two mirror souls as an existential earthquake: all of a sudden you can sense that an immensely important person has entered your life. All of a sudden you get the overwhelming feeling that your life is going to change in a way you aren’t even aware of yet – and yet you intuitively know that the changes will be great, greater than what you’ve ever experienced, and breathtaking in their magnitude. I know all of this because I am fortunate enough to have met my own twin flame a few years ago, so I have already gone through the fiery, intense and transformative process of meeting my soul’s mirror. Although I feel immense gratitude for the gift of connecting with my twin flame, I am happy to say that this blessing is open to everyone; however such a gift is not always received openly or even recognized by us on a conscious level. Sometimes we’re at a point in our lives where we are simply not receptive to both ourselves and our twin flame’s presence due to stress, over-work, lifestyle habits and negative thought patterns that lead to low self-esteem. For this reason I believe that it’s important to identify some of the major twin flame signs that you might experience, or have already experienced, in your lifetime. In the end, the appearance of our mirror soul is always a mystery and can rarely be predicted. So pay attention. What is a Twin Flame?"

[ 1]Defence mechanisms may result in healthy or unhealthy consequences depending on the circumstances and frequency with which the mechanism is used. [ 2] In psychoanalytic theory, defence mechanisms ( German: Abwehrmechanismen) are psychological strategies brought into play by the unconscious mind [3] to manipulate, deny, or distort reality in order to defend against feelings of anxiety and unacceptable impulses and to maintain one's self-schema or other schemas. [ 4] These processes that manipulate, deny, or distort reality may include the following: repression, or the burying of a painful feeling or thought from one's awareness even though it may resurface in a symbolic form; [2] identification, incorporating an object or thought into oneself; [5] and rationalization, the justification of one's behaviour and motivations by substituting \"\"good\"\" acceptable reasons for the actual motivations. [ 2] [6] In psychoanalytic theory, repression is considered as the basis for other defence mechanisms. [ 2]Healthy persons normally use different defences throughout life. An ego defence mechanism becomes pathological only when its persistent use leads to maladaptive behaviour such that the physical or mental health of the individual is adversely affected. Among the purposes of ego defence mechanisms is to protect the mind/self/ego from anxiety or social sanctions or to provide a refuge from a situation with which one cannot currently cope. [ 7]One resource used to evaluate these mechanisms is the Defense Style Questionnaire (DSQ-40). ["

By Christof Koch on September 1, 2009Credit: Mehregan Javanmard MOTHERS will want to crucify me for this seemingly cruel question, but it needs to be posed: How do we know that a newly born and healthy infant is conscious? There is no question that the baby is awake. Its eyes are wide open, it wriggles and grimaces, and, most important, it cries. But all that is not the same as being conscious, of experiencing pain, seeing red or smelling Mom’s milk. It is well recognized that infants have no awareness of their own state, emotions and motivations. Even older children who can speak have very limited insight into their own actions. Anybody who has raised a boy is familiar with the blank look on your teenager’s face when you ask him why he did something particularly rash.

Have you ever given much thoughtful consideration to WHAT emotions are?... I mean what they REALLY and TRULY are?

Developmental milestones are things most children can do by a certain age. Children reach milestones in how they play, learn, speak, behave, and move (like crawling, walking, or jumping). During the second year, toddlers are moving around more, and are aware of themselves and their surroundings. Their desire to explore new objects and people also is increasing. During this stage, toddlers will show greater independence; begin to show defiant behavior; recognize themselves in pictures or a mirror; and imitate the behavior of others, especially adults and older children. Toddlers also should be able to recognize the names of familiar people and objects, form simple phrases and sentences, and follow simple instructions and directions. Positive Parenting Tips Following are some of the things you, as a parent, can do to help your toddler during this time: Read to your toddler daily. Ask her to find objects for you or name body parts and objects. Play matching games with your toddler, like shape sorting and simple puzzles."

Here’s what your toddler might be doing, how you can help and when to see a child health professional. Toddler development at 18-24 months: what’s happening Helping toddler development at 18-24 months Parenting a toddler at 18-24 months When to be concerned about toddler development at 18 months When to be concerned about toddler development at 2 years Toddler development at 18-24 months: what’s happening Feelings At this age, your toddler starts to experience new emotions like anger and frustration, guilt, shame, possessiveness and excitement. These ‘big’ emotions can be hard to deal with for your toddler, and you might see some temper tantrums as a result. Although your child’s separation anxiety peaks around 18 months, by two years it should start to settle down. Your child is also beginning to think about how she feels, and might link her feelings with words – for example, she might tell you she’s ‘sad’. She might show affection by giving you a kiss or hugging a doll, which is also part of developing empathy. Everyday skills Around this time, your child is keen to do more things for himself. For example, your child is learning to eat by herself using a spoon and cup, and maybe even a fork – there might even be fewer spills than before!Your child might try to help when he’s getting dressed and undressed. At this age, it’s easier for him to take off socks, shoes and clothes without buttons."

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 2:03If you’ve followed this blog for awhile, you’re likely no stranger to the concept of sleep regressions. You’ve probably experienced them first-hand, right? If you’re new here, however, let us fill you in. A sleep regression refers to a period of time when a baby or toddler who’s been sleeping well suddenly begins waking at night and during naptime, or even refusing to go to sleep at all. There are several distinct regression phases that most babies and toddlers experience: one at 4 months, another at 8, 9, or 10 months, a third around 18 months, and (as if three weren’t enough!) a final one around 2 years. This article will focus on some of the challenges surrounding your 2 year old’s sleep, including elements that are part of the 2 year sleep regression.5 Facts About Your 2 Year Old’s Sleep1: Your 2 year old’s awake time is longer. As your toddler grows, she needs progressively less sleep than she did as an infant. Most 2 year olds need approximately 12 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period, on average; compare that to a newborn’s need for about 16 hours of sleep!"

CHILD DEVELOPMENT THEORIESCognitive (thought) development skills typical for toddlers include: Early use of instruments or tools Following visual (then later, invisible) displacement (moving from one place to another) of objects Understanding that objects and people are there, even if you can't see them (object and people permanence)Personal and social development in this age focuses on the child learning to adjust to society's demands. At this stage, children try to maintain independence and a sense of self. These milestones are typical of children in the toddler stages. There can be some variations. Talk to your health care provider if you have questions about your child's development. PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENTThe following are signs of expected physical development in a toddler. GROSS MOTOR SKILLS (use of large muscles in the legs and arms)Stands alone well by 12 months Walks well by 12 to 15 months (If a child is not walking by 18 months, talk to a provider. ) Learns to walk backwards and up steps with help at about 16 to 18 months Jumps in place by about 24 months Rides a tricycle and stands briefly on one foot by about 36 months FINE MOTOR SKILLS (use of small muscles in hands and fingers)Makes tower of four cubes by around 24 months Scribbles by 15 to 18 months Can use spoon by 24 months Can copy a circle by 24 months LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENTUses 2 to 3 words (other than mama or dada) at 12 to 15 months Understands and follows simple commands (such as \"\"bring to mommy\"\") at 14 to 16 months Names pictures of items and animals at 18 to 24 months Points to named body parts at 18 to 24 months Begins to answer when called by name at 15 months Combines 2 words at 16 to 24 months (There is a range of ages at which children are first able to combine words into sentences.

"text": "Parenting Resource How to Care for Infants and Toddlers in Groups Feb 8, 2010In this article, we explore six key components of early group experience. Out-of-home child care for infants and toddlers, if done well, can enrich children’s early experience. It can also be a therapeutic component of services to at-risk children, providing a safe and consistent base for protection, prevention, and treatment. Unfortunately, although more and more children in this country are moving into group care at younger ages and for longer periods of time, we are missing opportunities to provide quality care. Indeed, current practices in many infant/ toddler child care settings actually hinder caregivers, children, and parents from forming and sustaining the deep, responsive, and respectful relationships that are the hallmark of quality. In this article, we will explore six key components of early group experience: group size; quality of the physical environment; primary caregiving assignments; continuity of care; cultural and familial continuity; and meeting the needs of the individual within the group context. How these components of group care are addressed determines, to a large extent, the opportunities for responsive caregiving and caring relationships in infant/toddler child care. Challenges to Quality Care American society remains unwilling to take the profession of infant/toddler child care seriously. We have traditionally viewed the care of children from birth to three as a job done in the home, as part of daily life, for free. Despite overwhelming research evidence for the social benefits of high quality infant/toddler child care and family support, we are not yet willing to pay infant/toddler caregivers a living wage."

"text": "How to know if your toddler has autism Naline Lai, MD and Julie Kardos, MD | Conditions | May 11, 2013155Share Tweet Share About half of all children in the United States with an autistic spectrum disorder are diagnosed at age five or older according to a May 2012, NCHS (National Center for Health Statistics) data brief. However, many parents are suspicious much sooner. As part of autism awareness month, we bring you clues in toddler development that can alert you to a potential issue. Pediatricians often use a questionnaire called the M-CHAT (Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers) as a screening tool. This test can be downloaded for free. In our office, we administer the M-CHAT at the 18-month well-child visit and again at the two-year well visit, but the test is valid down to 16 months and in kids as old as 30 months. Not every child who fails this test has autism, but the screening helps us to identify which child needs further evaluation. At 15-18 months of age, children should show the beginnings of pretend play. For example, if you give your child a toy car, the toddler should pretend to drive the car on a road, make appropriate car noises, or maybe even narrate the action: “Up, up, up, down, down, rrrroooom!” Younger babies mouth the car, spin the wheels, hold it in different positions, or drag a car upside down, but by 18 months, they perceive a car is a car and make it act accordingly."

"text": "Parenting Resource Toddlers and Challenging Behavior: Why They Do It and How to Respond Feb 29, 2016This article explores the meaning behind challenging behaviors and how parents and caregivers can set age-appropriate limits for their toddlers. The year between age 2 and age 3 is an exciting one. Toddlers are realizing that they are separate individuals from their parents and caregivers. This means that they are driven to assert themselves, to communicate their likes and dislikes, and to act independently (as much as they can!). Toddlers are also developing the language skills that help them express their ideas, wants, and needs. At the same time, toddlers do not understand logic and still have a hard time with waiting and self-control. In a nutshell: Two-year-olds want what they want when they want it. This is why you may be hearing things like “no” and “me do it” and “no diaper change!” more than ever before. Learning to Handle Strong Feelings As a parent, your job is to help your young toddler navigate the tide of strong emotions she is experiencing this year."

"text": "Toddler Talking Milestones Toddlers learn many new words and begin to form simple sentences. The number of words in a toddler’s vocabulary expands rapidly. By 2 years of age, children typically begin to connect words, such as “go” and “bye, bye” to make the simple sentence “Go bye-bye.” By 3 years, many toddlers are able to form a variety of sentences with three or four words. Young toddlers both babble and use real words. Parents and caregivers will be able to understand a toddler some of the time, but they may have difficulty understanding the child on other occasions. People outside the toddler’s family may also have difficulty understanding all of his words. Toddlers can use language to imitate and to talk about pretend things and past experiences. As your toddler engages in pretend play, she thinks out loud and talks to herself. She also develops an ability to talk about past experiences in one or two sentences."

Sorting out the Differences in Toddlers & Preschoolers March 16, 2008 by Laura 14 Comments0 0 0 0Many parents who start researching speech disorders have questions about the differences in apraxia, or motor planning difficulties, as compared to a phonological disorder. “ They sound the same to me,” is what many parents tell me. Actually many professionals have questions too! This is a common debate during the diagnostic process for many clinicians. First, I’ll provide a brief overview of both disorders, then I’ll give you my clinical opinion. Apraxia/Verbal Dyspraxia Apraxia is a neurological speech disorder that affects a child’s ability to plan, execute, and sequence the movements of the mouth necessary for intelligible speech. Apraxia can also be referred to as developmental verbal apraxia, childhood apraxia of speech, or verbal dyspraxia. Most SLPs use the terms interchangeably. Characteristics of apraxia include: Limited babbling is present in infancy."

You've both survived the first year (whew!) and now that you look back, you can't imagine how time went so quickly. There's much to look forward to over the next year, not the least of which is the amazing journey that your child will take as she grows from a babbling baby into a talking toddler. At the end of the previous stage of language development ( 6-12 months ), your baby was just starting to use her first real words. If you arrive at 12 months only to find that your baby isn't yet talking, though, fear not. Many children will take up to 15 months of age to utter their first real word. It's well worth the wait! Even if your child isn't yet talking, you'll notice that she continues to become more and more social . Between the ages of 12 and 18 months, you'll see her really start to point at things that interest her, show you things to get your attention, and give you objects to interact with you."

"text": "Can Your Baby Sleep Too Much?by Nicole Johnson in baby sleep patterns — 14 Comments Whether you have a newborn baby or a toddler or a baby aged in between, there comes a time in most parent’s lives when you ask yourself if your baby is sleeping too much. Granted, many people arrive at The Baby Sleep Site® because your baby is not sleeping enough, but once you have helped your baby sleep through the night and helped your baby nap better, you may come across a time when you aren’t sure if your baby is sleeping too much or not. On the other hand, there are babies who are naturally good sleepers whose parents may wonder how their baby will learn to sit up, crawl, walk, or talk, if all they do is sleep! What would parenthood be without worry? This article will help you figure out if your baby is sleeping too much. Before we get started, if you EVER have any question about the health of your baby, talk to your doctor first and foremost! That is why they are there and don’t worry about being an over-protective parent. Trust your instincts and if you feel like something might be wrong, it does not hurt to ask, but it might hurt not to!Your Newborn Baby’s Sleep Newborn babies need to sleep A LOT. If you have read the book or watched the DVD, The Happiest Baby on the Block, you know the author, Dr. Karp, believes that babies actually need another trimester in the womb, but if a baby were to stay longer, we’d never be able to give birth to such a large baby.

But before she wants to leave the house dressed in cowboy boots and tutus, here's what you need to know about her developing sense of style. By Andrea Stanley Facebook Pinterest Twitter Email Photo Alto/Veer When your child reaches toddlerhood, there is a burst in development as she begins to walk, talk, and start potty training, but self-dressing is particularly essential because it uses so many different skills. \"\" A child being able to dress herself is such an important psychological and emotional milestone,\"\" says Karen Ruskin, Psy. D., LMFT, a family therapist in Sharon, Massachusetts. Because children are driven to be independent, you can bet that your own tot's got her eye on wearing that floral-print bathing suit of hers -- even on a frosty January day! Without opportunities to experience being independent, the less confident a child will feel. The feeling of accomplishment really affects a child's self-esteem in a positive way, Dr. Ruskin says. Self-dressing also lays the foundation for being able to tackle additional gross and fine motor challenges, like gripping objects (e.g., writing, drawing, cutting) and self-feeding.

Why would our sweet darling throw her toy at us when we’ve just asked her not to, and then add insult to injury by smirking? Is she evil? Does she have a pressing need to practice throwing skills? Maybe she just hates us…Sensitive, intensely emotional, and severely lacking in impulse control, toddlers often have “unusual” ways of expressing their needs and feelings. If it’s any consolation, these behaviors don’t make sense to our children either. The simple explanation is the unfortunate combination of an immature prefrontal cortex and the turbulent emotions of toddlerhood. More simply: children are easily overwhelmed by impulses bigger and stronger than they are. In other words, your child very likely understood that you didn’t want her to hit you or her friends, siblings and pets, dump her food or water onto the floor, whine, scream and call you “stupid”, but her impulses made a different choice. And though she smirks, this isn’t out of ill will."

Developmental milestones are things most children can do by a certain age. Children reach milestones in how they play, learn, speak, behave, and move (like jumping, running, or balancing). Because of children’s growing desire to be independent, this stage is often called the “terrible twos.” However, this can be an exciting time for parents and toddlers. Toddlers will experience huge thinking, learning, social, and emotional changes that will help them to explore their new world, and make sense of it. During this stage, toddlers should be able to follow two- or three-step directions, sort objects by shape and color, imitate the actions of adults and playmates, and express a wide range of emotions. Positive Parenting Tips Following are some of the things you, as a parent, can do to help your toddler during this time: Set up a special time to read books with your toddler. Encourage your child to take part in pretend play. Play parade or follow the leader with your toddler."

To help her along: For throwing, start by rolling a small soft ball back and forth between you, moving farther and farther apart with each pass. Soon, she'll want to throw it. For kicking, show her how to use her feet instead of hands to roll a ball back and forth between the two of you. For catching, have her roll it up a small incline to catch on the way down. Pushing and pulling (12 to 18 months)Once your child's a confident walker, he'll discover the joy of dragging or pushing toys along. And all the while he'll improve his coordination, since he'll be walking forward while occasionally looking back. So offer him some pull or push toys to play with, or make your own by attaching a string to a toy car (make sure to supervise or limit the length of the cord to 12 inches to avoid a strangulation hazard). Squatting (12 to 18 months)Up to now, your baby has had to bend down to pick things up off the ground. But soon, she'll attempt to squat instead."

If so, never fear — it’s the question we’re answering in today’s article!When To Transition Your Toddler From Crib to Bed First, let’s tackle the “when” of making the crib-to-bed transition. There’s no easy answer to this one — ages for making this transition vary from family to family. However, it’s interesting to note that the average age for making the switch from crib to bed is between 3 and 4 years. Typically, we here at The Baby Sleep Site® recommend that you don’t rush into making this transition. Why? Because once you remove those crib bars, you remove your little one’s bedtime boundaries.

During their first three years of life, children grow quickly, become mobile, learn language, begin to understand how the world works and form social relationships. Environmental changes such as parental divorce can affect a child's development, but parents have the power to help their children adjust to family changes. This guide is part of a series aimed at helping families in which parents are separated or divorcing and who share parenting responsibilities for children. We will use the terms divorce and separation interchangeably to describe parents who are separated from each other. Young infants (birth to 8 months)Infants do not understand divorce, but they pick up on changes in their parents' feelings and behavior. Following a divorce, parents might become temporarily depressed, have less energy and be less responsive to their infant. Young infants do not have much control over their emotions, which are influenced by their parents' feelings. When a parent acts worried or sad, their infant is likely to mirror those feelings. Infants cannot tell adults how they feel, so adults must interpret infants' behavior."

Today this question may be “Does my child have autism?” The word “autistic” has become offensive to some and is not used by professionals, but parents do continue to use this term during their initial search for answers. Many people assume, incorrectly of course, that because a child isn’t talking by age two or three, he or she must be on the autism spectrum. There are many reasons for speech-language delays in toddlers, and autism is only one of them. Late talking in and of itself usually does not mean autism. Autism spectrum disorder is a complex disorder that lasts throughout a person’s life. Autism is called a developmental disorder because issues start before age three, during the critical period of development, and it causes problems in the way a child develops, learns, and grows.

"text": "Are you in your sexual prime? If you’re around 28 years old, according to a recent survey, the answer is yes. Through a poll of 1,281 British men and women, British sex toy company Lovehoney found that women have their best sexual experiences around 28 while men “peak” at 33, the Daily Mail reported. This (unscientific survey) contradicts the oft-cited conventional wisdom that women peak sexually in their 30s, while men hit their sexual prime at 18. The poll also found that women and men both reported having the most sex in their 20s — 25 for women, 29 for men. Relationship expert Tracey Cox told the Daily Mail that the survey’s findings make sense because it takes time to learn what you want out of sex and how to get it. “ We tend to have the most sex at the start of relationships when desire is fresh, and the best sex once we’re more in tune with our bodies and our partner,” she said. “ Despite the female sexual system being far more complex than a man’s, women are discovering what works and doesn’t faster than men. ”However, many have disputed that women and men even have a “sexual peak.” For starters, it’s hard to define what constitutes your “sexual prime.”"

In various cultures, older men and younger women often seek one another for sexual or marital relationships. [ 4] Older women sometimes date younger men as well, [5] and in both cases wealth and physical attractiveness are often relevant. [ citation needed] Because most men are interested in women in their twenties, adolescent boys are generally sexually interested in women somewhat older than themselves. ["

"text": "An estimate of the global prevalence and incidence of herpes simplex virus type 2 infection Katharine J Looker a, Geoffrey P Garnett a, George P Schmid b Introduction Genital herpes may be caused by either herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2) but, globally, the large majority of cases are caused by HSV-2; infection is common in both the industrialized and developing worlds, and HSV-2 uncommonly causes infection by non-sexual means. 1 – 5 The ability of the virus to successfully avoid clearance by the immune system by entering a non-replicating state known as latency leads to lifelong infection, although whether latency always accompanies infection is unclear. 4 Periodic reactivation from latency is possible and leads to viral shedding from the site of the initial infection. The large majority of persons with genital herpes do not know they have the disease 6 and infection and reactivation are typically “asymptomatic” although, with teaching, most persons with positive HSV-2 serology (46 of 53, in one study) recognize genital lesions. 5 Despite the typically asymptomatic nature of genital herpes, which facilitates its spread in the population, and means it is a useful marker of sexual behaviour, 7 genital herpes is associated with considerable morbidity and even mortality. Genital lesions due to herpes are often very painful, and can lead to substantial psychological morbidity. 4 The virus can also be passed from mother to child during birth. Neonatal infection can be very serious. 8 Without treatment, 80% of infants with disseminated disease die, and those who do survive are often brain damaged. 9 In one study in the United States of America (USA), four of nine infants born to women who acquired genital herpes shortly before labour developed neonatal infection, of whom one died."

By: William Wong ND, Ph D, Member World Sports Medicine Hall of Fame. With all the ballyhoo in the US congress about anabolic steroid use in sports (to the point where athletic performance in the pro sports will decline to pre 1968 levels - boring), the line between anabolic steroid drugs and natural testosterone has been blurred to the point of not being recognizable. So, let’s point out the facts and put some distance between the growth drugs and testosterone. Let’s also take a serious look at the good that testosterone replacement can do in both men and women to improve their overall health without the danger of creating other problems such as cancer (as the estradiol docs prescribe so freely often does). Androgens, or male hormones have two main functions #1 to be androgenic or to produce libido, sexual ability, grow the penis and testicles, make sperm, increase mental drive and sexual desire. The #2 function is to be anabolic; to build bone, build muscle. Natural Testosterone has both the androgenic and anabolic functions. Anabolic steroids are a synthetic androgen having almost no androgenic ability while only having anabolic ability."

Testosterone, the hormone that boosts sexual desire, sperm production, bone density, and muscle mass, peaks at about age 30. Men might experience less interest in sex as the level declines, or not be able to sexually perform as well as they would like. A dip in sexual interest can cause depression and could damage important intimate relationships. It’s natural to want to do something about it.

When Male Fertility Peaks, When It Declines, and the Risks of Older Fatherhood By Rachel Gurevich | Reviewed by Anita Sadaty, MDUpdated March 30, 2017Share Pin Email Print Rob & Julia Campbell Male fertility does change with age. You might get the impression that age only matters in female fertility. While the change in fertility is more drastic in women, men have biological clocks, too. When Does Male Fertility Peak and When Does It Decline? One research study conducted at Soroka University in Israel looked at semen quality in normal males and compared the quantity and quality of semen to the men’s ages. The study looked at everything a semen analysis would, including how often they had sex. This is important to consider because sexual abstinence can lower semen quality. Frequent sex creates healthier sperm. Researchers found that semen quantity peaked between the ages of 30 and 35. ("

Go ahead and get your guffaws out of the way. Certainly, someone who makes a life out of exploring intimacy should know the distinctions, you are thinking. I sheepishly admit that until the nuances were brought to my attention, I viewed them interchangeably. Shame on me (in a good shame sort of way). On the other hand, if you’re intrigued and asking if lust is not sexual desire, then what is it? And which comes first, female arousal or the desire to have sex? And how do these change over the course of a woman’s lifetime?"

By Bridget Murray Law March 2011, Vol 42, No. 3Print version: page 44Most animals aren’t shy about showing their interest in mating. The male frigate bird puffs out his throat into a gigantic red balloon. Female cats yowl and spray urine during estrus, their time of ovulation and sexual receptivity. And in female chimps, estrus swellings of the external sex organs can get as large as a cantaloupe — not something a male could easily miss. In humans, signs of sexual interest aren’t nearly so obvious. The male of the species generally doesn’t broadcast his constant readiness for sex, and during her window of fertility at ovulation, the female doesn’t display any outward signs. Some biologists and anthropologists have theorized that this “loss of estrus” in people makes us less driven by sex hormones than other animals. But according to a steady stream of new studies by evolutionary and biological psychologists, that may not be the case."

Aging men with erectile problems have had several prescriptions drugs to enhance their sexual experience. Women have no FDA-approved drug to improve their sexual outcomes. Here at Web MD, we recently posted a news story about the use of an over-the-counter hormone called DHEA, which was said to “ease menopausal symptoms and improve women’s sex lives.” When that same release showed up on the start page of my computer it seemed time to investigate these claims. Let’s try and answer these important questions: Does DHEA improve sexual function? Is over-the-counter DHEA safe? What is the future for DHEA?"

When a woman has a sexual problem, it can impact many aspects of her life, including her personal relationships and her self-esteem. Many women are hesitant to talk about their sexuality with their health care professionals, and many health professionals are reluctant to begin a discussion about sexuality with their patients. Instead, women may needlessly suffer in silence when their problems could be treated. Sexual activity includes a wide variety of intimate activities, such as fondling, self-stimulation, oral sex, vaginal penetration and intercourse. Every woman differs in her sexual interest, response and expression. A woman's feelings about sexuality can change according to the circumstances and stages of her life. Women also can experience a variety of sexual problems, such as lack of desire, difficulty becoming aroused, difficulty having an orgasm or pain during sex. When a physical or emotional problem associated with sex persists, it's time to contact a health care professional.

The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome ( PCOS ) is a disease of the female sexual sphere which is characterized by the violation of the development of female sexual hormones, increase in the ovary sizes with the appearance of cysts, impairments of a menstrual cycle, infertility, and other symptoms. The reasons for the development of PCOS are unknown at present; however, it is supposed that a certain role in the development of this disease is played by hereditary factors, traumas, inflammatory diseases of genitals, etc. The PCOS diagnostics is based on the definition of characteristic symptoms, ovary ultrasound check-up, research of the level of hormones in blood, etc. The PCOS treatment depends on the age, weight, desires of a woman to become pregnant, and other factors; it also includes the normalization of body weight, hormonal or surgical treatment. Causes Why does PCOS develop? The development of female sex hormones (progesterone and estrogen) in the female organism is under hypophyseal control: Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone ( LH ) . During the menstrual cycle, the level of these hormones is not identical. PCOS women have an increased level of LH and a decreased level of FSH, which leads to the disorders in the regulation of the menstrual cycle. The increased level of LH leads to the development of surplus of man’s sexual hormones (androgens) and estrogen in the female organism."

This is just my perspective on the situation, it is not the scientific way to never get caught with a fake ID ever. A little about me: I am from another state in the US and quickly figured out after moving to NYC that I wasn't going to meet many people without having access to the bar scene. To me, my fake ID's purpose is not for drinking, but a tool for socializing. That being said, drinking itself was never the top goal -- getting into the bar was. This approach to using a fake ID has allowed me to figure out some pretty cool psychological and sociological shit that'll help you out with your time at the bar. This guide is for bars only, and from my experience in NYC. General tips may be universal, while some may not be as relevant to your location. Some of these tips might seem trivial to the braveheart types who are completely comfortable with their ID."

"text": "Can You Fly If Your Driver’s License or ID Card Were Lost or Stolen? BY Beth Williams Flying without ID at airport Contrary to popular belief, passengers 18 years of age or older are not automatically denied boarding if they cannot provide proper identification – they may still fly on domestic flights in the US, provided that they go through additional identity and security screening at the security checkpoint. This policy is specifically noted on the TSA’s website, at the page linked below. So the answer is yes, you can fly without a driver’s license or ID if they were lost or stolen but read on to understand fully what is required. The reason this policy exists is that it is hardly a productive outcome for either the TSA or you if they forbid you to fly without an ID, particularly if it was lost or stolen while you were on vacation and you had no way of getting a replacement until you are home. If You Must Fly Without ID, Do The Following1. Plan on getting to the airport significantly earlier than you would normally because the additional screening will take longer.2. If checking luggage you must do so inside the airport at the check-in counter, a skycap won’t be able to help you curbside. Airports now mandate that all passengers over the age of 18 present a government-issued form of photo identification at check-in Document organizer with RFID shielding you can wear cross-body or tuck into a bag. Acceptable forms of ID are military ID, driver’s license, or a passport at the time of check-in."

"text": "\"When to See a Fertility Specialist How to Choose a Good Fertility Doctor What is the definition of infertility? In 2008, the American Society of Reproductive Medicine released a revised definition of infertility. Infertility is a disease, defined by the failure to achieve pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected intercourse. Earlier evaluation and treatment may be justified based on medical history and physical findings and is warranted after 6 months for women over age 35. How to choose a fertility specialist for testing and infertility treatment If you are being treated, or considering seeking infertility treatment, it is appropriate to start with either a good general gynecologist or with an infertility specialist - also referred to as a reproductive endocrinologist. Some general gynecologists are very good at the initial fertility evaluation and very basic infertility treatment. However, you should know about your doctor's training and experience. Many women think they are being treated by a fertility specialist when they are not You should know whether your doctor is a fellowship trained fertility specialist If you do not know, ask whether he/she did a fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility A fellowship is 3 additional years of specialized infertility training after the doctor completes 4 years of Obstetrics and Gynecology residency training If your physician is a general gynecologist, you should ask at what point he/she will refer you to an infertility specialist. In general, you should be referred to a fertility specialist either immediately - or after up to 6-12 months of treatment with the gynecologist. This will also depend on the female partner's age and the cause of the infertility."

"text": "Menstrual Disorders Cycle Disorders9 Reasons for a Late Period What to Do When You Have a Missed Period By Robin Elise Weiss, Ph D | Reviewed by Anita Sadaty, MDUpdated September 03, 2017Share Pin Email Print Caiaimage/John Wildgoose/Getty Images Pregnancy is the first thing women think of when their period is delayed but is it the only reason for a late period? The answer is a resounding no. There are several factors that can influence the timing of your period. In many cases, simple changes to your everyday routine are to blame and being mindful of them can get your period back on track. In other cases, a visit to the doctor might help sort things out. Here are nine common reasons your period may be delayed.1) Stress Sometimes we're so stressed out that our body decreases the amount of a hormone called Gn RH, which causes us to not ovulate or menstruate. If you know that you're stressed—perhaps you're coping with a difficult situation, or have a lot going on at work or school—carve out some time to help you relax. Even small steps, like 5 minutes of meditation, a massage, or a short walk, can make a difference. If you're experiencing prolonged stress and more than one missed period, work with your doctor to help you figure out what you need to do to relax and get back on schedule. Note that this issue can sometimes take a few months or more to work itself out, but once you have identified and relieved the stress, your cycles should return.2) Illness Both sudden, short illnesses and chronic conditions can cause your periods to be delayed."

"text": "Most women have been there: Lying faceup on an exam table wearing a paper or cloth gown that makes a Snuggie seem flattering, feet positioned awkwardly in metal stirrups, butt scooted down to the very end of the table with a man or woman (sometimes two) who’s basically a stranger staring right at your vagina. EDITOR'S PICKDo You Really Need to Go Run and Get an IUD Right Now? Ah, the Pap smear. Super important, yes, but insanely uncomfortable (not so much physically but certainly emotionally). And confusing. In 2012 the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) and the U. S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) announced that women ages 21 to 29 who haven't had a prior abnormal Pap test should get one every three years, but not all doctors immediately adapted to the change, leaving patients confused about whether they still needed an annual test or if it was safe to skip the screening. By now most gynecologists agree that once every three years is adequate (for women with normal results), and the American College of Physicians released a paper at the end of April 2015 with their guidelines, which basically parallel those from ACOG. But these are just recommendations: Every woman needs to do what is right for her body, so take the time to familiarize yourself with the Pap smear and other down-there tests so you can make the best decisions (with your doc’s input, of course). The Pleasure of a Pap Some of the best lifesaving practices (think Heimlich maneuver, colonoscopy, Pap) are also some of the most incredibly awkward ones. Before the Pap smear (or test, as some call it) was adopted as a standard screening test in women’s health in the 1950s, cervical cancer was the top cause of cancer death in women."

Note: This is not an exhaustive list and is not meant to be a substitute for medical advice. If your period is acting weird, call your doctor.1. OK, are you sure you're not pregnant? This is obviously this first thing you'll want to cross off the list, even if you've been super careful or using birth control. \"\" Half of all pregnancies in the U. S. are unplanned,\"\" Dr. Mary Jane Minkin, clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Yale School of Medicine, tells Buzz Feed Health. And it's not just late or missing periods that could signal pregnancy. You can also get irregular bleeding at the beginning of a pregnancy, which many people mistake for an early period, says Minkin. So if your period is early/late/missing and it's even remotely possible that you could be pregnant, go ahead and pee on a stick.2."

"text": "Brain & Nervous System Down Syndrome Does Maternal Age Affect Pregnancy? Increased maternal age can increase your child's risk of certain conditions By Kathleen Fergus Updated March 01, 2017Share Pin Email Print Agnieszka Wozniak/Caiaimage/Getty Images A woman is born with all of the eggs she will ovulate with for the rest of her life. So if you're 30 when you conceive, then the egg you conceived with is also 30 years old. If you are 45 when you conceive, then the egg you conceive with is 45 years old. As eggs age, the more likely they are to have errors that can result in trisomies, including trisomy 21 (Down syndrome). Does the Father’s Age Count? Men can make sperm continuously throughout their life. So a man may be 45, but the sperm he produces may only be a few weeks old. Since the sperm is young, it is thought to be protected from Down syndrome and other trisomies. While a father's age doesn’t contribute to the risk for chromosome abnormalities, men are not off the hook."

"text": "Health Women's Health What is the difference between an OB GYN and a Gynecologist? I've never been to either, but also don't know the difference.6 following 12 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: A gynaecologist basically is a physician who specialises in the treatment of the female reproductive system such as the ovaries, uterus and fallopian tubes. Gynaecologists can perform surgeries (such as laparoscopy or laparotomy) to diagnose or treat conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, ovarian cancer and perform hysterectomies. In simple terms gynaecology plainly means “the science of women”. Some or most gynaecologists are also obstetricians (called OB/Gyn's). Obstetrics is the surgical speciality dealing with the care of a woman and her baby during pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (the period shortly after birth). Midwifery is the equivalent non-surgical specialty. Most obstetricians are also gynaecologists (OB/Gyn's). In obstetric practice, an obstetrician sees a pregnant woman on a regular basis to check the progress of the pregnancy, to verify the absence of problems and diseases, to monitor the state of pre-existing disease and its possible effect on the ongoing pregnancy. I hope this helps answer your question."

If your answer is \"\"no\"\" and you are 21 or older, pick up your phone today and make an appointment with your doctor or a family planning clinic in your area. On the other hand, if your answer is \"\"yes,\"\" then how long has it been since your last Pap smear and pelvic exam? All women should have a Pap smear every three years between the ages of 21 and 29, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Women aged 30 to 64 should have a pap smear alone every 3 years, or pap smear and an HPV test every 5 years. When Do Women Need Pelvic Exams? Teenage girls should see an OB/GYN between the ages of 13 to 15. While pelvic exams are rarely required during this first visit, this visit helps to establish a relationship with the doctor of your choice and to go over your medical and sexual history (even if you have not had sexual intercourse.) This is a good time to ask questions about sexually transmitted diseases and contraceptives. You should always see your gynecologist if you experience: Any unusual and/ or persistent vaginal discharge Bleeding between periods Bleeding after sexual intercourse While a yearly Pap smear is not, in most cases, necessary after age 30, all women still require an annual pelvic exam to check for any other changes or infections."

Why does menstruation occur? Menstrual bleeding occurs when the endometrium peels off The inside of the uterus is covered with what is called an endometrium. The endometrium grows thicker in proportion to the menstrual cycle. By the time the period just before menstruation comes, the endometrium would have become about 1cm thick. When we say lining membrane, some people may imagine something like a wall; however, in fact, it is a kind of tissue that includes the cell, capillary, and secretory gland that produces the secretory fluid. Once menstruation begins, a tissue of the intima’s surface called stratum functionale peels off and starts to bleed. As this endometrium is destroyed, enzyme is produced. This enzyme works to destroy the coagulation factor, which makes the blood harden. As a result, it goes out of the body as menstrual bleeding."

A: You've asked a lot of excellent questions that will have a broad spectrum of readers interested. And you're right, screening guidelines are changing. A Pap test, also called a Pap smear, is used to screen for cervical cancer. It's a routine procedure that checks for cell changes on the cervix, which is the opening of the uterus. The test looks for abnormal cells that might become cervical cancer if not treated appropriately. During a Pap smear, cells and mucus from the cervix are collected and then examined under a microscope."

"text": "\"Rising Cost of OB/GYN Medical Malpractice Insurance Tags: | Comments: 0 | February 3rd, 2011The cost of OB/GYN medical malpractice insurance is rising rapidly with every passing year. Medical malpractice premiums have many factors that go into determining the premium; specialty, risk, location, part time, full time, and existing claims. But, one factor always stays the same – medical malpractice insurance for OB/GYN physicians will always have expensive premiums . OB/GYN physicians also have the longest “tail” exposure and expensive tail coverage costs. In most states there is a two year statute of limitations to file a medical malpractice claim. However, most states have a stipulation that states the injured party has two years from “time of discovery” to file their claim. In addition, the two years statute of limitation does not start until the injured party reaches the age of eighteen. This means that OB/GYN patients theoretically have up to twenty-one years to file a medical malpractice claim . Medical malpractice insurance companies that insure OB/GYN physicians assume a much more risk due to the long period of time that patients have to file a claim. Here are examples of how much OB/GYN malpractice insurance premiums fluctuate from state to state."

"text": "Exploring a Master's Degree in Psychology Maybe you’re a recent graduate with a bachelor’s degree or perhaps you’re considering going back to school to pursue a new career. Psychology can be an exciting field, especially as you learn more about the varied possible fields and the many different ways you can apply your psychology degree in the workplace. When you’re ready to pursue a Master’s Degree in Psychology, it’s important to choose an area of specialization and determine whether you want to work in the clinical, educational, research or business setting. To get into a program, you will need to have completed the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), demonstrating the required passing score, while keeping a solid grade point average (GPA) at an accredited university for undergraduate work. You can pursue a masters degree in psychology if your bachelors is in another area, but it is important to have undergraduate psychology classes on your college transcript. Once accepted into a program, expect close to 60 hours of coursework, which will vary by institution and state standards. Many universities require at least a 1-year internship, while some will also expect a master’s thesis. Some universities stipulate both. There are a lot of things to consider when deciding on a master’s degree program in psychology and we hear from many students asking questions about their options. Below are the top five most frequently asked questions about psychology master’s degrees."

"text": "Child Support: Age of Emancipation In Your State By Matt Allen Editor, Dads Divorce.com Emancipation is the point at which a minor comes of age. Child support is typically paid until the child reaches the age of emancipation, which is usually 18, 19, or 21 years old depending on the state. Keep in mind, the courts can in their discretion order support to be paid after reaching the age of majority, but only under limited circumstances, such as during post-majority education (college), or where the child is mentally or physically disabled. Also, support does not automatically terminate in most states. To stop the collection, you may have to file a motion with the court that originally ordered the support. You and your attorney will be able to discuss the procedure required in your state. If you have any questions regarding the emancipation age in your state, or if you need to terminate your child support upon emancipation, get in touch with a men’s divorce attorney as soon as possible. Read the list below to find out the age of emancipation in your state. Child Support: Termination Procedures By State Alabama: 19Alaska: 18, or 19 if unmarried and pursuing a high school diploma. Arizona: 18, unless the child is still in high school in which case child support would continue while the child continues to attend high school but not beyond the child’s 19th birthday."

Neutering is the kindest thing a caring owner can do to protect their cat. A female kitten can get pregnant while she’s still a kitten herself, so should be spayed at four months to protect her from an unplanned pregnancy. Around 85% of litters are un-planned! Neutering your male kitten will help keep him safe - ensuring that he doesn't get into constant fights over females, and also that he doesn't feel the urge to wander off in search of a mate. It's all too common for un-neutered males to get lost or killed on the roads, because they haven't been neutered."

The Illinois Animal Control Act defines a feral cat as the following: \"\"a cat that (i) is born in the wild or is the offspring of an owned or feral cat and is not socialized, (ii) is a formerly owned cat that has been abandoned and is no longer socialized, or (iii) lives on a farm. ”What is an eartip and why is it required for feral cats? An ear-tip is the surgical removal of approximately ¼” of the left eartip. This procedure is completely safe and it is performed under general anesthetic. Eartipping identifies free-roaming cats that have been sterilized. Eartipping provides immediate visual identification, which alerts animal control that a cat is part of a colony. It also helps colony caretakers track which cats have been trapped and altered, and identify newcomers who have not. Once a cat is trapped, the caretaker should look for an eartip. If the cat has an eartip it should be released immediately."

"text": "Neutering your cat From around the age of 4 months, kittens reach sexual maturity and are therefore capable of breeding and producing kittens themselves. Most people do not have the time or desire to breed from their cat and do not wish to add to the number of unwanted cats and kittens already looking for homes. Neutering a cat – castration in the male (removal of the testes), and spaying the female (removal of the ovaries and uterus) – not only prevents unwanted pregnancies occurring, but also curbs unwanted behavioural patterns associated with sexual maturity and reduces the risk of certain diseases. Reasons for neutering female cats Population control. It is important to neuter a female cat before she can have kittens herself. This happens very quickly depending on breed, time of year born and individual development. The first season usually occurs around six months but can be earlier. Queens can have up to three litters in a year. Control of nuisance. Female cats will ‘call’ (come into season and be receptive to the male cat) regularly, about every three weeks during sexually active times of the year if they do not get pregnant."

As long as a queen cat is sexually mature, she can carry a litter of kittens. Reproductive Maturity A young cat is classified as being a \"\"kitten\"\" from birth up until roughly 1 year in age. Most female cats reach full sexual maturity at around 5 to 6 months, although it varies greatly. Some cats hit puberty as young as 4 months, while it can take over a year for others. Early puberty is especially common in breeds such as the Siamese, while others, such as the fluffy Himalayan, are comparatively late bloomers.

Ask ten people, and you may get ten different answers! Those of us in the animal sheltering and rescue world usually recommend early-age spay/neuter at 8 weeks of age, or as soon as possible after that. Promoting early-age spay neuter is part of the social responsibility we feel to do all we can to reduce 5,000 dogs and cats euthanized in animal shelters every day. We see the number of puppies and kittens barely 6 months old that come to shelters, suffering from such an early pregnancy. Decades ago, when many vets were receiving their education, 6 months old was the randomly recommended age for fixing a dog or cat – you read that correctly, the 6 month old recommendation is based on clinical sentiment, not than scientific studies!On the other end of the spectrum, you have pet owners who mistakenly think it is better for a female dog or cat to have one heat – or even one litter – before being spayed, or don’t believe in spaying in neutering at all. They believe this myths in spite of vets and scientific organizations supporting the benefits and safety of early-age spay/neuter. To clarify: Early-age spay/neuter includes both pediatric surgery which happens at 6 weeks to 16 weeks, and spay/neuter done before 5 months of age."

Neutering also reduces the chance of disease transmission due to fighting. While veterinarians traditionally neutered cats at about 6 months of age, early neutering is becoming more acceptable and common. Once your male kitten weighs at least 3 pounds, he's a candidate for this simple surgery. Kittens sitting on a wooden staircase.credit: DAJ/amana images/Getty Images Early Neutering If you adopted your male kitten from a shelter, there's a good chance he was already neutered. Many shelters are neutering -- and spaying -- kittens early to eliminate the possibility that adopters won't sterilize their pets and the cats continue contributing to the feline overpopulation problem. The ASPCA recommends neutering kittens as young as 2 months old. If you don't want to neuter your kitten when he's that small, make sure you do so before he reaches the age of 6 months. Not only is that the age of puberty for most male cats, but it's also when they might start urine spraying and marking."

If that seems like a lot, you can take solace in the fact that it usually costs double that to spay a female cat. Other costs are sometimes added—many cats, especially kittens, get vaccinations during the same visit—so make sure you and your veterinarian are on the same page about what services you're in the market for. A Clinical Approach If you take advantage of waivers, special offers or low-cost clinics, your neutering bill can drop to well below the typical range. It might even be free.

Share this conversation Answered in 3 minutes by: 8/18/2010Cat Veterinarian: Dr. Erica Chat Conversation Started Dr. Erica : Usually somewhere between 5 and 6 months would be the time when a male cat begins to reach sexual maturity and starts to spray. Although not all cats will do this, it is highly likely in unneutered males, especially if there are other cats in the house. That is why it is recommended to get them neutered before 6 months of age. Once a male cat begins to spray, neutering will help but it may continue to some extent if it has become a habit. Neutering him before he ever starts is the best way to stop this unwanted behavoir. JACUSTOMER-y5lvm48i- : I think he has started to spray, the odor is atrocious, he was scheduled for neutering next month, but he will be under the knife before then believe me (lol), he is big for his age , he weighs almost 7.5 pounds and his testicles have gotten noticably larger in the last month . it sounds like he may continue to ''spray\"\" occasionally after the procedure. Dr. Erica : It is possible that now that he has done it once he may do it occassionaly even after surgery. At 7.5 pounds with giant testicles, he may be older than you think (or just hit early puberty)."

At this time, your little boy will become sexually mature and able to reproduce. He'll also start urine marking and roaming, so it's best to have him fixed to avoid such issues. Puberty When your little boy kitty reaches between 6 and 9 months of age, he will enter into puberty, according to the Animal Humane Society. While he won't technically be considered an adult until he reaches 1 year old, he'll still be able to reproduce with a female at this point. You'll notice that your formerly playful and sweet little boy has become a bit of a handful to deal with, marking everything in sight with urine and possibly starting fights with any other kitties in your home, including his own siblings. The little furball will also become quite the escape artist in his attempts to go outside and find a mate. What to Look For When your little kitten enters puberty, not only will you notice behavioral changes, but you'll notice physical ones as well. At puberty, a male kitty becomes muscular and develops thick pads of flesh on his cheeks to protect him when he gets into fights with other males, according to the Mar Vista Animal Medical Center."

Some aspects of feline maturity occur more quickly than others. Opting to spay or neuter your cat can make a big difference in how -- and how fast -- your cat grows up. General Guidelines In general, a kitten is considered an adult cat when it reaches 1 year of age, but your cat may not actually be fully grown at this point. Kittens typically reach a length and weight close to their full-grown size by 9 to 12 months of age. After the 1-year mark, most cats continue to grow at a much slower rate until at least 18 months of age. Large breeds, such as Maine coon cats, typically take even longer to grow to their full size. These cats may not be fully grown until they reach 2 to 4 years of age. Reproduction Sexual maturation in cats, what is essentially puberty in feline terms, takes a few months from start to finish."

The individual glycoconjugates are compounded to formulate Prevnar 13. Potency of the formulated vaccine is determined by quantification of each of the saccharide antigens and by the saccharide to protein ratios in the individual glycoconjugates. Each 0.5 m L dose of the vaccine is formulated to contain approximately 2.2 μg of each of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, 23F saccharides, 4.4 μg of 6B saccharides, 34 μg CRM 197 carrier protein, 100 μg polysorbate 80, 295 μg succinate buffer and 125 μg aluminum as aluminum phosphate adjuvant."

Pneumococcal disease is an infection caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria (“pneumococcus”). These bacteria can cause many types of illnesses, including: pneumonia (infection of the lungs), ear infections, sinus infections, meningitis (infection of the covering around the brain and spinal cord), and bacteremia (blood stream infection). Pneumococcus bacteria are spread through coughing, sneezing, and close contact with an infected person. Symptoms of pneumococcal disease depend on the part of the body that is infected. They can include fever, cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, stiff neck, confusion and disorientation, sensitivity to light, joint pain, chills, ear pain, sleeplessness, and irritability. In severe cases, pneumococcal disease can cause hearing loss, brain damage, and death."

Pneumococcal disease is a very serious infection that causes pneumonia, meningitis, and bloodstream infection (sepsis). About one million US adults get pneumococcal pneumonia every year and 5 to 7 percent will die from it. Fewer will get pneumococcal meningitis or sepsis, but the mortality rate in this group is higher (10 percent or more). In the US, pneumococcal pneumonia, meningitis, and bloodstream infections kill tens of thousands each year, including 18,000 adults age 65 years and older. Pneumococcal disease can cause serious illness and lifelong complications. Pneumococcal meningitis can cause hearing loss, seizures, blindness, and paralysis. Serious heart problems are common among patients hospitalized with pneumococcal pneumonia. In its worst forms, pneumococcal disease kills one in every four to five people over the age of 65 who gets it. Which adults need pneumococcal vaccination?"

"text": "Introduction During this session, Dr. Barry Brause, Director of Infectious Diseases at Hospital for Special Surgery, presented an update on infectious disease prevention today. He reviewed various infectious diseases covering how they are spread, the different types of vaccinations available, and his recommendations for protecting yourself from infectious diseases. Higher Risk of Infection in Patients with Rheumatic Disease Dr. Brause began his presentation by describing how patients with rheumatic diseases, such as lupus, have a higher risk of infection. The increased risk is related to the suppression of the immune system, also called immunosuppression, due to the underlying disease and the treatment associated. Treatments that suppress the immune system may include the following: Corticosteroids Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDS), for example, methotrexate, leflunomide (Arava), azathioprine (Imuran), cyclosporine. Biologic agents (ex. Anti-TNF agents such as etanercept (Enbrel) or adalimumab (Humira)Immunosuppressive drugs for SLE specifically include the following: Azathioprine (Imuran, Arasan)Belimumab (Benlysta) – biologic agent Corticosteroids (prednisone)Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan)Methotrexate (Trexall, Rheumatrex)Mycophenolate (Cell Cept, Myfortic)Rituximab (Rituxan) – biologic agent Biologic agents are distinguished from other immunosuppressives in that they are produced by living systems, such as bacteria or plant or animal cells. As soon as one starts to modify their immune system through these drugs, one modifies the immune system’s ability to fight off and prevent infection. Immunosuppressive Drug therapy can increase the risk of infection, including: Bacterial sepsis Mycobacterial-TB infection recrudescence Fungal infection / re-activation (Histoplasmosis, Coccidiodomycosis,Blastomycosis, Aspergillus, Candida)Viral re-activation e.g. Varicella-Zoster virus (shingles) or worsening of a chronic viral infections, e.g. hepatitis B infection In the event that a patient acquires a serious infection while on biologic agent therapy, the therapy is suspended. The patient may return to the biologic agent therapy once the infection is under control, if felt appropriate by the prescriber."

When germs enter the body, the immune system recognizes them as foreign substances (antigens). The immune system produces the right antibodies to fight the antigens. Vaccines contain weakened versions of a virus or versions that look like a virus (called antigens). This means the antigens cannot produce the signs or symptoms of the disease, but they do stimulate the immune system to create antibodies. These antibodies help protect you if you are exposed to the virus in the future. Vaccines not only help keep your child healthy, they help all children by stamping out serious childhood diseases.

Kroger, Raymond A. Strikas Recommendations for the use of vaccines and other biologic products (such as immune globulin [IG] products) in the United States are developed by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and are harmonized with ACIP liaison organizations including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American College of Physicians, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and others. Recommendations voted on by the ACIP are reviewed by the CDC director and, if adopted, become official recommendations of the Department of Health and Human Services/CDC upon publication in CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR). ACIP recommendations are based on scientific evidence of benefits (disease immunity) and risks (vaccine adverse reactions) and, where few or no data are available, on expert opinion. Recommendations include information on general immunization issues and the use of specific vaccines. Box 2-01 provides more information about ACIP. This section is based primarily on the ACIP General Recommendations on Immunization. Evaluation of people before travel should include a review and provision of routine vaccines recommended based on age and other individual characteristics. Additionally, some routine vaccines are recommended at earlier ages for international travelers. For example, MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine is recommended for infants aged 6–11 months who travel abroad to protect them from measles. Recommendations for specific vaccines related to travel will depend on itinerary, duration of travel, and host factors."

( May 2015)Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine ( PCV) is a pneumococcal vaccine and a conjugate vaccine used to protect infants, young children, and adults against disease caused by the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus). There are currently three types of PCV available on the global market, which go by the brand names: Prevnar (called Prevenar in some countries), Synflorix and Prevnar 13. Prevnar (PCV7) is a hepta valent vaccine, meaning that it contains the cell capsule sugars of seven serotypes of the bacteria S. pneumoniae (4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F and 23F), conjugated with diphtheria proteins. It was manufactured by Wyeth (which has since been acquired by Pfizer). [ 1] In the United States, vaccination with Prevnar is recommended for all children younger than 2 years, and for unvaccinated children between 24 and 59 months old who are at high risk for pneumococcal infections. [ 2]Synflorix (PCV10) is produced by Glaxo Smith Kline. It is a deca valent vaccine, meaning that it contains ten serotypes of pneumococcus (1, 4, 5, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F and 23F) which are conjugated to a carrier protein."

Pneumococcal disease can cause pneumonia, bloodstream infection (sepsis), or meningitis. The bacteria spread through coughing or sneezing, or through direct contact such as kissing. Pneumococcal infection kills tens of thousands of people in the US each year. Older people are most likely to die from pneumococcal disease, but younger adults with certain health conditions are also at increased risk for severe illness and death. Symptoms Pneumococcal disease can come on quickly and without warning and the symptoms are not the same for everyone. Depending on whether the infection causes pneumonia, bloodstream infection, or meningitis, people may have some combination of the following: abrupt onset of fever, shaking/chills, cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, stiff neck, disorientation, and sensitivity to light. Prevention There are two safe and effective vaccines recommended to protect adults against pneumococcal disease; a pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) and a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13).

S.? Influenza is the most frequent cause of death from a vaccine-preventable disease in the United States. In a study of influenza seasons from 1976–1977 through 2006–2007, the estimated number of annual influenza-associated deaths from respiratory and circulatory causes ranged from a low of 3,349 (1985–1986 season) to a high of 48,614 (2003–2004 season), with an average of 23,607 influenza-associated deaths. In addition to fatalities, seasonal influenza is also responsible for more than 200,000 hospitalizations per year. Rates of infection from seasonal influenza are highest among children, but the risks for complications, hospitalizations, and deaths are higher among adults ages 65 years and older, children younger than 5 years, and people of any age who have medical conditions that place them at increased risk for complications from influenza. A novel H1N1 virus was first detected in March 2009 and quickly spread to pandemic levels. In the U. S., it is estimated that approximately 43–89 million persons became ill with 2009 pandemic H1N1 from April 2009 to April 2010. The virus also resulted in significant hospitalizations and deaths among children, adults 19–65 years, obese persons, and pregnant and post-partum women. The pandemic virus has continued to circulate. It was the predominant virus isolated during the 2013–2014 season."

Meningococcal disease is a bacterial infection caused by Neisseria meningitidis. Meningococcal disease usually presents clinically as meningitis (about 50% of cases), bacteremia (38% of cases), or bacteremic pneumonia (9% of cases). N. meningitidis colonizes mucosal surfaces of the nasopharynx and is transmitted through direct contact with large-droplet respiratory tract secretions from patients or asymptomatic carriers. Meningococcal disease can be severe. The overall case-fatality ratio is 10%–15%, and 20% of survivors have long-term sequelae such as neurologic disability, limb or digit loss, and hearing loss. N. meningitidis is classified into at least 13 serogroups based on characteristics of the polysaccharide capsule. Most invasive disease (such as meningitis and sepsis) is caused by serogroups A, B, C, W, and Y. The relative importance of serogroups depends on geographic location and other factors such as age. Serogroups B, C, and Y are the most frequent causes of disease in the U. S., each accounting for about one third of reported cases. Serogroup A is common in Sub-Saharan Africa but is rare in the U. S. Nasopharyngeal carriage rates are highest in adolescents and young adults who serve as reservoirs for transmission of N. meningitidis."

A: A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens, which gradually loses its normal transparency with age. At first the effect is to scatter light, causing glare from sunlight and headlights. As the lens becomes cloudier, the vision gets blurrier. The eye may eventually become legally blind unless cataract surgery is performed. Q: How has cataract surgery changed over time? A: Tremendously. In the early days of cataract surgery, the only thing that surgeons could do was remove the cloudy lens."

Your doctor may conduct several tests, including: Visual acuity test. A visual acuity test uses an eye chart to measure how well you can read a series of letters. Your eyes are tested one at a time, while the other eye is covered. Using a chart or a viewing device with progressively smaller letters, your eye doctor determines if you have 20/20 vision or if your vision shows signs of impairment. Slit-lamp examination. A slit lamp allows your eye doctor to see the structures at the front of your eye under magnification. The microscope is called a slit lamp because it uses an intense line of light, a slit, to illuminate your cornea, iris, lens, and the space between your iris and cornea. The slit allows your doctor to view these structures in small sections, which makes it easier to detect any tiny abnormalities. Retinal exam."

The eyes however, can get cloudy for different reasons, like cataracts (a breakdown of the fibres which make up the lens of the eye). How can you tell the difference? The truth is, is that you can’t tell the difference between nuclear sclerosis and cataracts by just looking at the dog. Nuclear sclerosis is the normal cloudy eye that develops with age.

"text": "Health Vision Q: What Causes Cloudy Vision After Cataract Surgery? A: Quick Answer Individuals who have undergone cataract surgery sometimes experience clouding in vision, which can occur months or years later. This is caused by the outer lining wall of the cataract that remains in the eye, according to Web MD. The lining, or cataract capsule, is left to secure the new implant in place. Continue Reading Keep Learning Can Poor Vision After Cataract Surgery Be Corrected? What Can One Expect From Their Eyesight Immediately After Cataract Surgery? What Are Problems Associated With Cataract Surgery? Full Answer If clouding has occurred after cataract surgery, normal vision can be restored through a painless office procedure called a YAG laser, explains Web MD. A small hole is opened in the original outer lining of the eye that is holding the new lens implant. While 98 percent of cataract surgeries are performed without complications and with a quick return to normal activities, individuals may feel mild pain immediately after the procedure, which is treated with over-the-counter pain relievers."

"text": "\"Print Overview What a cataract looks like How a cataract affects your vision A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens of your eye. For people who have cataracts, seeing through cloudy lenses is a bit like looking through a frosty or fogged-up window. Clouded vision caused by cataracts can make it more difficult to read, drive a car (especially at night) or see the expression on a friend's face. Most cataracts develop slowly and don't disturb your eyesight early on. But with time, cataracts will eventually interfere with your vision. At first, stronger lighting and eyeglasses can help you deal with cataracts. But if impaired vision interferes with your usual activities, you might need cataract surgery. Fortunately, cataract surgery is generally a safe, effective procedure. Symptoms Signs and symptoms of cataracts include: Clouded, blurred or dim vision Increasing difficulty with vision at night Sensitivity to light and glare Need for brighter light for reading and other activities Seeing \"\"halos\"\" around lights Frequent changes in eyeglass or contact lens prescription Fading or yellowing of colors Double vision in a single eye At first, the cloudiness in your vision caused by a cataract may affect only a small part of the eye's lens and you may be unaware of any vision loss. As the cataract grows larger, it clouds more of your lens and distorts the light passing through the lens."

Randall, MDPrint Text Size: A A AIf you are lucky enough to have good eyesight, you may be surprised when your diabetes care team recommends that you make an appointment with an eye doctor. If your vision is stable, and your eyes don’t bother you, why should you have your eyes checked? The answer is that many potentially devastating eye problems develop without causing discomfort or distorting vision. Glaucoma and cataract are examples of eye problems that occur commonly in older adults and more frequently in people with diabetes. Generally, these conditions are treatable, but if not caught early enough, they can lead to vision loss or even blindness. Advertisement In addition, there’s diabetic retinopathy, a serious complication that is more likely to occur in people with Type 1 diabetes but may develop in anyone with diabetes. Tight blood glucose control can significantly reduce the incidence and severity of diabetic retinopathy, but the only way to identify this and other eye problems in their earliest and most treatable stages is to have regular, comprehensive eye examinations.-- Keep an eye on your vision! Learn about preventive steps and treatments for diabetic retinopathy from retinal specialist Dr. Charles Wykoff. >>There’s no reason to avoid an eye exam; it involves a series of painless tests that check your visual acuity and general eye health and screen for signs of disease.

ICL. The quality of vision with the ICL is superior to laser vision correction, especially with your prescription. The comments from another Ophthalmologist about your eye being crowded are not correct. The only answers that are meaningful are from surgeons that have done both procedures and have seen the results from both. Anecdotal accounts of one patient's individual experience are just that, one patient's experience. Their age, prescription, corneal thickness, goals, budget may be entirely different. Again, in skilled hands, the ICL procedure yields superior vision, is additive, does not weaken the cornea, can be removed or exchanged (if necessary or if you develop a cataract years later), can both be done in one day and be enhanced with laser surgery or limbal relaxing incisions if necessary. I have found with your minimal cylinder, a separate procedure for the astigmatism treatment with the ICL is often unnecessary. Naturally, neither procedure is without risks."

Although LASIK is not the only form of vision correction surgery, it is the most commonly selected procedure. The term LASIK is an acronym for “laser assisted insitu keratomileusis”. LASIK surgery uses a laser to reshape the cornea, also known as the “windshield” of the eye, so that light entering the eye can be focused better on the retina, allowing for clearer vision. Having laser vision correction is a big decision, and like most people you probably have some questions and concerns. AIO continues to be a Center of Excellence and at the forefront of technology.

Is there any sort of age requirement or age limit to have laser eye surgery?eyesightvision correction Answers ( 15)Ideal age for LASIK is when your vision is stable As a general rule, we recommend that patients are at least 21 years of age for LASIK or PRK vision correction. Some patients have been treated younger than this with excellent and stable results and the minimum is probably 18. More important than age is the health of the eyes and the stability of the refraction. This means that the eyes are no longer changing for the previous year so that the treatment has a higher likelihood of being permanent. One benefit of being younger is that there are more years to enjoy the benefit of improved vision, the eyes tend to heal quicker and stabilize faster, and there is less side effects with things such as dry eyes. There is also less problems with reading vision than in older patients. At first LASIK seemed to be most popular with an older demographic of average age around late 30's or early 40's but now we are seeing many more generation Y patients in their 20's who have discovered the benefits of laser vision correction.

They are the main cause of vision loss in people aged over 40 years. Cataracts cause more vision problems globally than any other eye condition or disease, and the number of cataracts is increasing with the aging population. In the United States in 2010, there were 20.48 million cases, rising to 24.41 million in 2015. By 2050, nearly 50 million Americans are expected to have cataracts. A cataract causes a part of the lens to becomes opaque, or cloudy. Light does not pass through easily, and vision becomes blurry, like looking through a fogged-up window. The cloudier the lens, the worse the vision will be. Congenital cataracts may be present at birth or appear shortly after, or at some time during infancy or childhood.

They spend little or no time thinking about how or what they will teach their new puppy. Yes, a puppy needs nutritious food and a safe, warm place to live, but another equally powerful and important biological necessity is the need for a strong pack leader.

Do you have any suggestions for house training? A. Patience is key when it comes to housebreaking because every pup will pick up the process at his own pace. And unless a dog is taught where to eliminate, he'll look for any spot that's convenient and safe, which often ends up being the carpeting! Unfortunately, dogs aren't born with the moral reasoning to understand that going to the bathroom inside the house is wrong. Since dogs innately want to keep their personal area clean, they will venture away from their own territory to use the bathroom. But many owners make the mistake of giving a puppy too much space too fast. In this case, the dog has little incentive to wait to go outside, since his personal roaming space only makes up a small portion of the home. Tip #1: Get a Crate It's best to use confinement to teach your dog that he has to wait to go to the bathroom outside the house. You can do this by purchasing a crate, so the puppy has just enough space to turn around and lie down."

House-training a puppy is a lesson in patience, and it's not always over quickly. Some puppies have it down pat in just a few weeks, while others take closer to a year. Age to Start Most puppies aren't able to control when they go until they are at least 12 weeks old. After she's about 6 weeks old, you can start taking her outside at least every hour to give her the chance to go. While this can cut down on indoor accidents, she won't be ready for true house-training until 12 weeks. Learning the Basics Most puppies have a good understanding of where they're supposed to potty after about a month of house-training. By the time she is 4 months old, your pup knows to wait for you to take her outside, and she might understand ways to tell you she has to go, such as barking or scratching at the door.

Generally, puppies should stay with their mother and litter mates until they are at least 8 weeks old. A study conducted by veterinarians L. Pierantoni, M. Albertini and F. Pirrone found that puppies removed from their mothers and litter mates and adopted out between the ages of 30 and 40 days were more likely to develop behavioral problems than puppies adopted out at 60 days. Set up realistic expectations. Consider that 6-week-old puppies are still not able to control those muscles responsible for allowing them to \"\"hold it,\"\" according to Dog Breed Info Center. However, don't despair yet; even though puppies generally get better at this once they are about 12 weeks of age, you can still introduce some basics that will help make the house-training process smoother. Organize a plan to help set your puppy up for success."

"text": "\"Member Sign Up The Book - Print & e Book Yorkie Training Tips Pokey, 18 month old medical alert dog Photo courtesy of Lizette Mierisch The 10 Most Important Tips for Housebreaking & Command Training# 1- Training goals should be age appropriate. Certainly owners should plan to train their Yorkie for housebreaking, commands and socialization...and to a key to success is to have appropriate expectations. Puppies can begin training at 8-weeks-old. In regard to housebreaking, it is important to understand that bladder and bowel muscles need to develop and strengthen as the pup grows. During the weeks (and first couple of months) that a pup is being shown what to do and where to go, these lessons will start to be instilled while muscles are developing... And the end result by the age of 3 to 4 months, is a well trained dog.# 2 - Age in Months = Hours Needs can be Held The best way to estimate how long you can expect a puppy to hold his needs is to remember that a 2 month old can hold on for only about 2 hours, a 3-month-old no more than 3 hours and so on. This continues until the Yorkie can hold on for about 8 hours. Expecting more than this length of time is unrealistic.# 3 - Choose One Area Simply just choosing \"\"outside\"\" as the bathroom area is not going to teach solid lessons. Owners should choose one specific location that will only be used for housebreaking."

"text": "\"Housebreaking Your New Puppy Housebreaking your new puppy is going to take patience. You should begin to housebreak as soon as you bring your new puppy home. Puppies need to relieve themselves approximately six times a day. A puppy should be taken out immediately after each meal since a full stomach puts pressure on the colon and bladder. After about 8, 9, 10 weeks of age, or when the puppy arrives at it's new home, the dog should be taught to go potty outside. Do not have paper or potty pads inside your home. Peeing is for outside only, or you are teaching your new pup it is okay to potty inside your home. Take advantage of any early training the breeder hopefully has already done. Teach your pup to potty on a designated spot outdoors, making him think. After you bring home your new puppy the first thing you need to teach the pup is to walk to the door."

"text": "March 6, 2014 by Matthew Kinneman Puppy Crate Training A litter of Pitbull Puppies bred at Kinneman Kennels in 2007Before you crate train your puppy, please know that if a dog that is left in a crate for long hours can become neurotic, restless and noisy. It is suggested that you find someone who can take your dog out for a long walk and spend time with it outdoors. Try as far as possible to only use the crate at night. Otherwise, you must leave your dog in a separate room with reusable housebreaking pads, some healthy food, ample water and exciting toys. Arrange the room in such a way that the bed and food are at one end and the pee pads at the other. Spread the toys in the middle of the room. Dogs are intelligent and thinking creatures and they need to find something to occupy their mind. The scientific crate training method is as follows: Use a crate for the first 3 to 4 weeks to confine your puppy in it when you are not with him. Take care to ensure that the crate is neither too big nor too congested without moving space. It should be large enough for the puppy to lie down in bed for a comfortable sleep and be able to stand up and stretch its limbs."

"text": "Housebreaking your puppy: Do's and don'ts By Cesar Millan The process of housebreaking often brings on feelings of nervousness and worry, but the process does not have to be stressful—for you or the puppy. The truth is this is a situation in which you have Mother Nature working with you right from the start while puppy training. When the puppies are first born, they eat and they relieve themselves inside the den, but the mother always cleans them. There is never a scent of urine or feces where the puppies eat, sleep, and live. When they get old enough, they learn to use outside areas as they imitate their mother. Conditioning In this way, all dogs become conditioned never to eliminate in their dens. From two to four months of age, most pups pick up on the concept of housebreaking and crate training quite easily since it is part of their natural programming. Related: Secrets to housebreaking adult dogs Puppy’s digestive tract Another built-in plus when it comes to housebreaking is our puppy’s digestive tract, which is extremely quick and efficient. Five to 30 minutes after the puppy eats, she’ll want to defecate. So with a consistent eating schedule, and your attention to the clock, your puppy can maintain regular trips outside."

"text": "Yorkie Potty Training, Yorkie Housebreaking0 Comments The hardest thing most Yorkie owners have to deal with is Yorkie potty training, also known as Yorkie housebreaking. Yorkshire Terriers, also known as Yorkies, are a little harder to train than some other breeds of dogs. This results from their own nature to work without human assistance. The independent nature of Yorkies make them difficult to housebreak, but if you monitor their diet, as well as be consistent with their training, it will help your Yorkie become much easier to housebreak. All you really need to do is be patient, as well as persistent, with your Yorkshire Terrier and invest a lot of time into training him or her. You have to be very patient and it doesn’t just happen overnight. The Yorkie must have time to learn your commands, and you must be persistent to be successful at Yorkshire Terrier Potty Training. Until you get your Yorkie trained to potty on command, you must take them outside every 30 minutes. Also, if your Yorkie just ate, you need to take him or her outside 5 to 10 minutes after they have finished eating. Once you start getting them to potty outside, you must keep them on a schedule for Yorkshire Terrier housebreaking."

Jupiterimages/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images W hen you bring a new canine home, one of the first orders of business is house training, or teaching your puppy appropriate places to use the bathroom. If you work long hours, have health issues that prevent you from walking your dog, or live in a high-rise apartment, going outside regularly isn't always an option. It may be beneficial to simultaneously train your dog to eliminate outside and train him to use pee pads inside. Set the Rules Start establishing firm habits from Day 1. Choose specific places to be your outdoor puppy bathroom and your indoor puppy bathroom. Stay away from high-traffic areas or locations unsuitable for a potty area, like a frequently used bathroom, kitchen, children's room or living area. Pick a place you can live with long-term, as relocating your dog’s inside bathroom later can cause problems. Use commercial puppy pads or, alternatively, newspapers or even a cat litter box filled with sod. Alternate where you take your dog so he gets used to both spots."

"text": "\"Essential Bulldog Information Home General When looking for that perfect puppy, make sure to take the time and check out everything from your breeder. They should be willing to offer you advise and answer any questions you have. Tell the breeder you want to know about the puppies parents and pedigree. What screening has been done on the parents and if there have been any tests done on the puppies..... Remember that Bulldogs and heat do not mix well so make your Bullie an inside dog and see to it he has all his new toys, crate,collar and anything else he needs ready for him. Did you know that the AKC registers over 140 dog breeds and that the Bulldog has been in the top 40 every year? In the past 25 years (1973 thru 1998), there were 234,600 Bulldogs registered with the AKC. In 1973, there were 6,608 registered compared to the #1 registered breed of that year (the Poodle) with 28,899 registered. In 1998 there were 13,836 Bulldogs registered compared to 157,936 Labrador Retrievers in the same year. When getting food bowls for your bullie, invest in solid heavy duty stainless steel bowls. They will reduce the rash and redness from the bullies face, can be cleaned easily, and provide a much better feeding and watering system than plastic."

"text": "\"Dog Training How to Housebreak a Bulldogby Katherine Barrington If you are consistent, housebreaking can be accomplished in a matter of weeks. Whether your bulldog is an adult or just a puppy, housebreaking is not the difficult process you might believe it to be. By confining your dog to a crate while you are away and by supervising him when you are at home, housebreaking can actually be accomplished fairly quickly. Supervise your bulldog closely while you are at home to prevent him from having an accident. If you notice your dog walking in circles, sniffing the ground, it is a sign that he has to go and you should take him outside immediately. Designate a certain area of your yard as the potty area and be consistent about taking your bulldog to this area when you bring him outside. By training your dog to use only a certain area of the yard to do his business it will make the task of cleaning up after him much easier. Wait for your dog to do his business then praise him in an excited tone and give him a reward such as a belly rub. By praising your dog immediately after he does his business in the preferred area you will be teaching him that you approve of this behavior and he will be more likely to repeat it in the future. Set up a crate for your dog inside your home and line it with a soft blanket or dog bed."

But in their first eight months or so, puppies will develop two sets of teeth, and there’s more to caring for those chompers than just making sure they don’t leave marks on your furniture legs. Here’s all information you need to know about those cute (and sharp!) little puppy teeth. How Many Teeth Do Puppies Have? In the beginning, none. Like us, dogs are born toothless. Puppies will quickly develop a set of 28 teeth, though, and as adults they’ll have 42. When Do Puppies Get Their Teeth“Puppy teeth erupt starting at about 2 weeks of age, and are usually completely in by about 8-10 weeks old,” says Dr. Kris Bannon, veterinarian and owner of Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery of New Mexico."

Which is great when they're learning the stuff you're teaching them - not so great when they're picking up bad habits or figuring out how to do things that you don't want them to do!Dogs are creatures of habit and they learn through repetition. Once they've done something several times it begins to become a habit and after a while it will be instinctive behavior - ie they won't even need to think about it, they'll just DO it.
