"text": "How Old Your Puppy Should Be When Introduced To The Electric Dog Fence Posted by Byron Pappageorge | Mar 20, 2017 | Dog Containment | 0 |Puppies can be introduced to an electric dog fence from a fairly young age. K9 Electronics provides great tips for introducing young dogs to electric dog fences and selecting the right fence for your pet. One of the most difficult parts of owning an electric dog fence is deciding when to introduce it to a younger dog. Young dogs can react unpredictably to electric dog fences, so understanding a puppy’s development is essential to deciding when to start training the animal with the fence and collar. Generally, puppies should not be introduced to electric dog fences until they’re at least four or five months old. This will lower the chances that the electric dog fence will traumatize the animal – something that occurs due to the “fear” stages that all young puppies go through, not due to the static correction administered by an electric dog fence system. Be sure to use an electric dog fence with adjustable settings when training a puppy. Use the lightest settings and spend plenty of time training the dog. Pay attention to any signs of fear that the dog exhibits; a fearful dog isn’t learning properly, and you should immediately stop your training to avoid traumatizing the animal. Every electric fence is approved for use with puppies and always carefully read the included instructions before you begin electric fence training."

This is written for families starting out with a puppy; if you are acquiring an older dog for your family, the information is still good but many of the puppy issues won't surface. How To Provide Safe Housing for Your New Whippet You will need a secure fence at least five-feet tall with secure gates that lock. Whippets are not outside dogs. They are house dogs--love nothing better than a snooze on the sofa. You will find they do just fine and, in fact, enjoy a romp in the snow/rain/mud as long as they are running and active--but, once tired, they need to be able to get inside and get warm and dry again. The First Nights in the New Home I try to keep my puppies with Mom and siblings until 10-12 weeks old. I am always willing to negotiate that depending on schedules of the new family. But, I do believe it is important that the puppy not leave for its new home before 8 or 9 weeks old as a minimum. Considering that, be prepared for a couple of rough nights."

Collar There are a wide variety of dog collars available in the pet section of most stores. They can be as simple or as extravagant as you like. You will need to purchase several collars as your puppy grows. Most collars are adjustable with either a buckle or sliding snap. Be sure to check your puppy’s collar weekly for the correct size. The collar should be tight enough so that it will not come off the dog’s head without unbuckling it but loose enough so that your dog can breath properly. A collar that’s too tight can also cause skin and hair problems. A good rule of thumb is to measure your dog’s neck circumference and then add one inch."

"text": "\"About the Breed | Breed Standard | Colours & Markings | Health | FAQFREQUENTLY ASKED COCKER QUESTIONSSHOW STRAIN v WORKING STRAIN. What are the differences? If you are buying a pet Cocker puppy, it is important to know that there are two distinct strains within the breed, the show strain (or show type) and the working strain (often referred to as Working Cockers), each bred for different purposes with different attributes. Working Cockers, as the name implies, are bred as working gundogs, capable of staying out all day in the shooting field. However many are now being increasingly sold to pet homes where, in the right hands, they can make very good family dogs for the active home. They are also becoming popular in canine sports such as agility and flyball. Show-strain dogs are the type seen in the show rings (such as at Crufts). Their appealing looks and compact size have made show-type Cockers popular as family pets for many years. If you see a photo of a Cocker on a calendar or in a book, it will be a show-type dog more often than not, although this may be slowly changing with the growing number of Working Cockers in pet homes. Physically, Working Cockers can look quite different to the show-type Cocker."

We are feeding Purina Pro Plan Performance for All Life Stages, Sport 30/20 and you can buy this food at Petsmart. The bag has a purple stripe on it and I feed 1/2 to 3/4 cup per feeding, per puppy.2. How many times per day should my puppy be fed? I feed puppies, 8-12 weeks old 3 x per day. I try to keep them on a schedule such as: 6:00 a.m., 12:00 noon and no later than 6:00 p.m. Once the puppy reaches 12 weeks, I cut them back to eating 2 x per day, eliminating the noon feeding. Increase the amount you feed based on the recommendations you will find on the dog food bag as suggested by weight of the puppy. I do not recommend free feeding – give your puppy about 20 minutes to eat, then pick it up and put it away."

My parents have a 2-year-old Great Pyrenees mix that loves to roam around the 25-acre property. One of his favorite things to do, besides roaming for critters in the woods, is chase outgoing cars to our private gate (we call it an escorting service), which is about 3/4 of a mile from the house. For the 8 months they have owned him he would normally stop at the gate, and turn around and run back to the house. However, in the last month he has been trying to follow the cars past the gate and onto our neighbors’ property. He never wonders far, but he thinks it’s a game to get him back onto “his (my parents) property”. My parents have now invested into a remote shock collar to buzz him when he tries to “escort” cars past the gate. However he doesn’t seem to understand it. I’m thinking it could possibly be a dominance issue, but since I’m away at college I can’t see the behavior myself. Could you give me some insight/ tips on how to correct this behavior please?"

"text": "\"If you're taking on the task of bottle-feeding a kid goat, you'll have your work cut out for you for a while. However, it's not nearly as much of a commitment as bottle-feeding a human kid. A human baby might need bottle-feeding for a year or more, but the caprine variety needs about three months of nursing care. Dairy Goats If you're running a goat dairy, you must breed females -- called does -- to produce kids to produce milk. The flip side is that those kids often can't nurse very much on their mothers, as the milk is your dairy's product. You can bottle- or pan-feed the babies. Because the nursing reflex is instinctual, bottle feeding is easier on the kid than pan-feeding, plus you get a better idea of just how much the baby consumes. For the first three weeks, your kid needs bottle feeding at least four times a day. From the third week on, feed him three times daily, cutting back as he transitions to solid foods. Colostrum If you're hand-raising a baby goat, make sure he gets colostrum as soon as possible."

Coccidiosis is caused by microscopic protozoan parasites called coccidian (Eimeria spp.). Coccidia go through a complex \"\"life cycle\"\" in the intestinal cells of goats. In the process, they produce large numbers of eggs (technically called oocysts) that are passed in the feces. In the process of growth and multiplication in the goat intestinal epithelial cells, the coccidia may destroy many intestinal cells. This may cause diarrhea and other signs of the disease coccidiosis. Coccidiosis is the most common cause of diarrhea in goats between 3 weeks and 5 months of age. This is especially true when goats are housed in confinement. Coccidiosis commonly strikes young goats shortly after weaning because of the stress of being suddenly separated from their dam. Nearly all (or most) adult goats carry coccidia in their intestines."

Begin by offering food at a time that suits you both.

Answer by Montana Mom Confidence votes 23.2KKittens usually begin the weaning process around 4-6 weeks of age. They begin by taking an interest, or picking at their mother's solid food. At this age they will still be suckling and getting nutrients from their mother, but putting a tiny bit of wet food down every few hours will entice them to eat. You could see if they will lick food off your fingertip or off their own paws. This first stage can take several days. Try mashing up some good quality wet/canned food (look for a brand with a high named meat content and no grain, such as Felidae or Blue Buffalo to avoid tummy upsets) for them. Mixing the food with a little bit of KMR (Kitten Milk Replacer) at first helps the kittens get used to solid food. Mushed up wet food, or wet food that is throughly mixed with a little water or kitten milk is the best type of food for them right now."

So you do not need to milk the cows or anything like that, since when they have a calf, the calves are enough to \"\"milk them out\"\" without worrying about having any leftover milk that you will have to milk out. If you are wanting to raise \"\"cows\"\" for meat consumption only, don't waste your time trying to find any cows (mature female bovines that have had a calf) or heifers (female bovines that have not had a calf) to make a breeding herd. You're better off buying a couple of steers (castrated male bovines) to keep the grass down and have butchered later on. Cows and heifers take a lot of management. They need to be bred to calve once a year, and raise a calf for 6 to 10 months, then you have to decide what should be done with that calf once weaned. The cows themselves need to be bred a couple months after they've calved so that they will produce a calf next year."

"text": "How To Buy a Pygmy Goat: Questions a Buyer Should Askby Maggie Leman How old is this goat? Kids should be at least 8 weeks old before weaning unless you are prepared to bottle feed. Bottle feeding a dam fed kid can be nearly impossible if the kid is more than a couple of days old. We don’t let kids go until they are 12 weeks old and find they are more independent at this age and better able to handle the stress of weaning and going to a new home. Pygmy Goats both male and female can be fertile as young as 12 weeks old; sexes should be separated at that age. Pygmy Goats can live well into their teens and are usually productive (can safely have kids, or sire kids) until 9 or 10 years old. What is this goat eating and how much? Kids should be eating grain and hay well before leaving their dam, not just nibbling. You should be prepared to supply the goat with their regular ration and hay as goats can suffer with severe stomach upsets when their feed is changed suddenly. If you need to change their diet do it gradually over 7 to 10 days by mixing more and more of the new feed into the old at each feeding."

When calves are separated from their dams by a fence or truck, the nursing stops cold-turkey right when the separation is complete.

Pregnant animals will get an enlarged udder starting one to six weeks prior to kidding. Some signs that parturition, or kidding, is approaching include hollowness on either side of the doe's tail, the doe isolating herself from the rest of the herd, and an enlarged udder and teats that begin to fill with milk. At two weeks prior to kidding, the muscles of the ligaments on both sides of the doe will begin to soften and relax.

"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."

Sitting up allows babies to be more independent and to explore their environment in a new and exciting way, says Sheryl Pitner, M. D., assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. In addition, mastering this newfound skill leads to a milestone that your baby is sure to find particularly interesting. \"\" Sitting up with minimal support also means the baby has the proper muscle control needed to transition from a liquid diet of breast milk or formula to solid foods ,\"\" says Jean Moorjani, M.

Often their delight is a good measure of what they need — but sometimes it can lead us astray."

Once his back and neck muscles are strong enough to hold him upright and he's figured out where to put his legs so he won't topple over, it's just a matter of time until he moves on to crawling, standing, and walking. At what age do babies sit up? Your baby will probably learn to sit independently between the ages of 4 and 7 months. Your baby will have mastered rolling over and holding his head up. Most babies can sit well for several minutes without support by the time they're 8 months old. ( Even babies who've mastered sitting will topple over eventually, often because they lose interest in being upright. ) How babies learn to sit up While you can prop your baby in a sitting position almost from day one, true independent sitting doesn't begin until he has head control."

Although there may be some variations, the pattern is predictable. One can know in general what to expect at what age from normal children, i.e. children who follow the norms and standards. These standards are established by observing a large number of normal children. A graphical representation of these norms (called growth curves or growth charts) shows how children growing at different paces would grow (Fig. 1). A child’s growth when assessed subsequently should be on the same line as before. If it goes towards the lower side, the child is faltering.

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": "How should a rear-facing child sit in his car seat? Posted in: Rear-Facing Seats There are two important components to properly seated rear-facing children: recline angle, shoulder-strap positioning. Recline Angle For safety and comfort, newborns should ride semi-reclined, so that the angle of the car seat (where their head and back rests) is reclined enough to keep their head back and their chin off their chest, but never more than 45 degrees from vertical. Most newborns will require a 45-degree angle to keep their head well-positioned and their airway open. We must position a newborn’s head and neck for him, because he doesn’t have the neck muscles required to hold his head up himself. Without this reclined position, a child’s head could easily fall down onto his chest, pinching off his airway. As he grows older and can hold up his own head, you can move the car seat into a more upright position (if permitted by the car seat manufacturer) to provide better crash protection and make an older child happier by giving them a better view out the back window. WRONG: Chin on chest (dangerous for breathing), straps too loose (dangerous for a crash)Many infant car seats now come with removable head supports. It has been our experience that the vast majority of these head supports are ineffective or worsen the positioning of the baby’s head. Most of these head supports place more padding behind the child’s head, which further encourages the head to fall forward–exactly what we don’t want to occur!Before removing the head rest on your car seat, read the owner’s manual as some head rests are structural parts of the car seat and can not be removed – like those with a no-rethread harness including the Cybex Aton Q, UPPAbaby Mesa, Peg Perego 4-35 and others."

Wondering what the average age is for most babies to roll over, sit up on their own, crawl, walk and talk? Read on to discover when your little one may master these remarkable skills. Birth to six months Rolling over Your little one may begin rolling over (and around) at two to three months. Rolling from her tummy to her back is likely to come first, followed by back to tummy around the age of five to six months. This first major skill comes from the development of her neck and arm muscles, which she’ll strengthen by pushing her upper half from the floor to take a peek around during tummy time. Once she masters the art of flipping from one side to the other, watch out! She’ll be on the move to get to you or that toy that has caught her twinkling eyes. Sitting up Quick tip: As confident as baby may be with her new ability, always stay close by and cushion the surrounding floor, in case she topples over or gets bored sitting up. At five months, your little roller may begin to gain control of her upper body and sit up on her own."

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."

You need to provide them with a nest box and suitable nesting material. I usually place some nesting material in the nest box and then provide more on the cage floor. This allows the male to pick up the material and take it to the female sitting in the nest. This material should include small round pieces that the baby bird can grasp with his toes. This prevents the legs from spreading out sideways making it impossible for the baby to walk. You also need to provide them with food, grit, and water or they will not stay in the nest on the eggs. The birds usually lay two eggs, two days apart. Once the baby has hatched it will begin to soil the nest with its stools. Most diamonds will then want additional nesting material to cover the old, dirty material."

This is not to say that your baby may not start crawling sooner than this, but on average babies start crawling around 7-10 months. If your baby spends time on the floor and gets lots of tummy time, he may master the skill of crawling sooner. Some babies, however, skip the crawling stage all together and go straight to walking. If your baby isn’t crawling by the time he is 7-10 months, try not to panic. If he is reaching his other developmental milestones and finding some way to get around that is what is important. Some babies don’t crawl, but they still find a way to get around on the floor by scooting on their bottoms or sliding across the floor on their bellies. Your baby may even scoot around backwards or sideways before he figures out how to move in a forward direction Tummy time and crawling In order for your baby to start crawling, he will need to be able to support his upper body with his arms and have strong leg and back muscles. Tummy time helps your baby to strengthen his muscles."

How babies learn to crawl How to help your baby crawl What to do if your baby doesn't crawl After your baby crawls – what's next? Where to go next En español Reviewed by the Baby Center Medical Advisory Board Last updated: June 2015Crawling is your baby's first method of getting around efficiently on his own. In the traditional crawl, he'll start by learning to balance on his hands and knees. Then he'll figure out how to move forward and backward by pushing off with his knees. At the same time, he'll be strengthening the muscles that will soon enable him to walk. When do babies start crawling? Most babies learn to crawl between the ages of 7 months and 10 months. Your baby may opt for another method of locomotion around this time, though – like bottom shuffling ( scooting around on her bottom, using a hand behind and a foot in front to propel herself), slithering on her stomach, or rolling across the room. Don't worry about her style – it's getting mobile that's important, no matter how your baby does it."

How babies learn to sit up How to help your baby sit up What to do if your baby doesn't sit up After your baby sits up – what's next? Where to go next En español Reviewed by the Baby Center Medical Advisory Board Sitting independently gives your baby a new perspective on the world. Once his back and neck muscles are strong enough to hold him upright and he's figured out where to put his legs so he won't topple over, it's just a matter of time until he moves on to crawling, standing, and walking. At what age do babies sit up? Your baby will probably learn to sit independently between the ages of 4 and 7 months. Your baby will have mastered rolling over and holding his head up. Most babies can sit well for several minutes without support by the time they're 8 months old. ( Even babies who've mastered sitting will topple over eventually, often because they lose interest in being upright. ) How babies learn to sit up While you can prop your baby in a sitting position almost from day one, true independent sitting doesn't begin until he has head control."

"text": "Parenting Resource Steps Toward Crawling Feb 19, 2016The process of learning to crawl is actually pretty complex. Try these tips to support your baby as they explore movement through crawling. Between six and ten months old, most babies are really starting to move. At first they may get up on all fours and rock back and forth—like a rocket at countdown, waiting to take off. But unlike a rocket ship, little ones might stay in “countdown” mode for a weeks before they are ready to start moving. The process of learning to crawl is actually pretty complex. Babies need to coordinate the movement of their arms and legs, and develop the muscle strength in their arms, shoulders, and legs to support their weight. How Babies Learn to Crawl A baby’s first jump forward might actually be a scoot backward. As babies figure out how to do that arm-leg-arm-leg crawling movement, they sometimes go backward first, and then learn how to crawl forward. So, for a while, babies might cry in frustration as they somehow finds themselves scooting away from the very object or person they are so determined to reach."

No two babies begin crawling, walking or talking at the same age, even if they're in the same family. Each child develops at an individual pace, although most children fall into a certain range for meeting developmental milestones.

"text": "\"Shutterstock When will my baby sit up, crawl and walk? What is considered \"\"normal\"\" when it comes to reaching milestones? What I tell new parents about their baby's development is this: Infants' growth once was viewed as a sort of developmental elevator. Baby went from floor to floor, stopping at each level to learn a new skill. But there's more to that story. Babies build their skills based on the environment they find on each floor. If the interaction with you or other caregivers is responsive and enriching, she gets back on the elevator with even more skills, and the ride to the next stage is much smoother. Knowing how your baby acquires new cognitive and motor skills not only teaches you about him, it's also a worthwhile reminder that every infant is a little different (and it may even help you avoid the neighborhood race to see whose baby sits or crawls or walks first). Here are the average time frames and descriptions of some of the most important first-year accomplishments. Birth to 3 months Lifts and turns head Stretches out arms and legs Opens hands and swipes at things Holds eye contact and studies faces Smiles Makes first sounds During the first year, motor development simply means that baby is learning to lift more of his body off the ground."

They are not born with all the visual abilities they need in life. The ability to focus their eyes, move them accurately, and use them together as a team must be learned. Also, they need to learn how to use the visual information the eyes send to their brain in order to understand the world around them and interact with it appropriately. From birth, babies begin exploring the wonders in the world with their eyes. Even before they learn to reach and grab with their hands or crawl and sit-up, their eyes are providing information and stimulation important for their development. Healthy eyes and good vision play a critical role in how infants and children learn to see. Eye and vision problems in infants can cause developmental delays. It is important to detect any problems early to ensure babies have the opportunity to develop the visual abilities they need to grow and learn. Parents play an important role in helping to assure their child's eyes and vision can develop properly."

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."

He is around a yr and 1/2 behind. He has made progress learning to crawl and now stand holding on, he can even climb the stairs, although obviously does not understand safety etc. My little boy did start babbling mama, dada, nana a long time ago but although he is very vocal those babbles disappeared. I am not really sure how much he understands. It is difficult because he is so happy and placid and obviouly he wants to do alot more than he can. We have had an MRI done which showed up an left temporal lobe arachnoid cyst, which apparently is not likely to be causing the delay. We have also had some genetic tests for some syndromes done, but have had no diagnosis. I went to see his Paediatrician a few days ago who hit me with the bombshell that he is moderate to severe and he may require special school placement until leaving age around 20 and then went on to talk about possible housing and adaptions. I am now terrified they may be thinking something worse and not telling me until they are certain."

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."

When she is molting (losing feathers for new ones) she will lay little or no eggs. This happens when she is a year old and will happen once a year after that.

"text": "\"Home »Nature How Do Chickens Fertilize Eggs? By Anne Minard; Updated January 29, 2018Chickens — like other birds — lay fertilized eggs via sexual reproduction. Depending on the breed of chicken, a hen will begin laying eggs between five and seven months of age. The frequency of egg-laying varies between breeds, over different seasons, with moulting and with age, but most breeds that are used for egg production will lay an egg every one to two days. TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)Chickens reproduce via sexual reproduction: a rooster mates with a hen, who then lays a fertilized egg. When Are Eggs Fertile? An egg will only yield a chick if the hen has mated with a rooster before the egg was formed. Most production-oriented farms don't have a rooster milling about, unless it's time to make a new batch of egg-laying hens. This means that almost all eggs in the supermarket are unfertilized. Roosters are more often seen in small or hobby flocks."

Answered Oct 29, 2014 · Author has 436 answers and 1.1m answer views Most popular chicken breeds (ie: those who are bred to lay the maximum amount of eggs, not for meat, or to look fancy) lay about one egg per day from spring to late autumn/early winter. Once the days get darker and shorter, they get less sunlight and their bodies don't produce eggs so regularly, often stopping altogether for a few months. In commercial farms they are often kept under artificial lights to trick their bodies into thinking its summer all year, and keep them laying at least an egg per day no matter the season. Sometimes their hours of darkness are limited to the extreme, to get them laying more than one egg per day. ' Fancy' chickens and meat chickens tend to lay a lot less, and for a much shorter time. Our 'Indian Game' hen (or 'Cornish Game', to American chicken keepers), for example, lays about one egg every two days, for most of the summer and often takes a long break in the middle to go broody before resuming her scanty laying schedule. We love her all the same. Age also reduces the number of eggs laid. Our chickens are pets, kept well into old age, and it seems like their bodies go a bit haywire as they ge t older - they'll lay less and less regularly, the eggs can be oddly shaped or extremely small."

Then the hen rests about 30 minutes or so before starting to make another one. In addition to resting about 1/2 hour each time an egg is laid, some hens rest about every 3 to 5 days and others rest about every 10 days. Some hens hardly rest at all.

Egg laying is largely dependent on the length of the day, and most hens will stop laying when they receive fewer than 12 hours of daylight. When exactly this will happen depends on the chicken, though. Most of ours did go “off lay” as the days grew shorter and the seasons changed. They laid fewer and fewer eggs until, one day, they simply stopped. One or two continued to lay sporadically throughout the cold, dark days of winter, although most of those eggs froze and cracked before we got out to collect them.

As your child begins to walk, you may have your first questions about what shoes he or she should wear. A growing child will need new shoes frequently, and more questions will arise. You should ask yourself the following questions when selecting your child's shoes: How does the shoe fit? How is the shoe made? Is the type of shoe appropriate for your child's age? The Fit Pay attention to the shoe's proper length, width and depth when fitting your child's shoe. Poorly fitting children's shoes can cause toe problems, ingrown toenails, hammer toes, calluses and bunions. Children's feet grow in spurts, and they require new shoes every three to four months. Most early toddlers (under 16 months of age) grow more than one-half a foot size in two months."

In most situations, when the patient is non-weight bearing, there will be some sort of discernible arch, however, that arch quickly disappears when the patients stands up. This distinction needs to be made because there are individuals who exhibit a more rigid flat foot both standing and sitting. These individuals generally have more symptomatic problems and this discussion will briefly look into that condition at the end. The ‘flexible flat foot’ that we are going to discuss here may occur in one or both feet, and the degree of flattening can vary between the two feet. In many people flat feet are not an issue at all and these people go through life without any foot problems. In others, the long term effects of flat feet can not only lead to foot and ankle pain, but many people will also experience knee, hip and lower back pain as a result of their feet being flat. Flat feet are common if not almost normal in infants and toddlers simply due to the fact that the arch of the foot has not yet developed. The arch generally will develop during childhood as part of a normal relationship between the foot’s muscles, tendons, ligaments and bone."

Sever’s disease occurs in children when the growth plate (which is the growing part of the heel) is injured. The foot is one of the first body parts to grow to full size. This usually occurs in early puberty. During this time, bones often grow faster than muscles and tendons. As a result, muscles and tendons become tight. The heel area is less flexible. During weight-bearing activity (activity performed while standing), the tight heel tendons may put too much pressure at the back of the heel (where the Achilles tendon attaches).

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."

"text": "\"Foot Pain In-Depth Report Background Foot pain is very common. About 75% of people in the United States have foot pain at some time in their lives. Most foot pain is caused by shoes that do not fit properly or that force the feet into unnatural shapes (such as pointed-toe, high-heeled shoes). The foot is a complex structure of 26 bones and 33 joints, layered with an intertwining web of more than 120 muscles, ligaments, and nerves. It serves the following functions: Supports weight Acts as a shock absorber Serves as a lever to propel the leg forward Helps maintain balance by adjusting the body to uneven surfaces Because the feet are very small compared with the rest of the body, the impact of each step exerts tremendous force upon them. This force is about 50% greater than the person's body weight. During a typical day, people spend about 4 hours on their feet and take 8,000 - 10,000 steps. This means that the feet support a combined force equivalent to several hundred tons every day. Foot Problems and Their Locations Foot pain generally starts in one of three places: the toes, the forefoot, or the hindfoot. The Toes."

"text": "\"Primitive Reflexes The \"\"primitive reflexes\"\" are those that appear and disappear in an expected order during infant development. They are important signs of a normally functioning nervous system when present at the right stage of development; likewise, abnormal absence of an expected reflex at a given stage of infant development, or presence of (or reappearance of) a reflex beyond the normal time it is normally found implies some abnormal function of the nervous system. Moro reflex, startle reflex The infant is placed in a semiupright position and the head is momentarily allowed to fall slightly backward into the examiner's hand; the child will symmetrically fling the arms out from the body and flex the thumbs, followed by a reverse flexion of the arms as if grasping onto his mother. An asymmetric response may signify a fractured clavicle or a birth injury to the nerves of the arm which does not function properly. Absence of the Moro reflex in a newborn is an ominous finding, implying some sort of serious neurologic condition. Grasp response The grasp response is obtained by placing a finger or object in the open palm of each hand; a normal infant will grasp the object and will resist attempted removal with a tighter grip. This reflex is sometimes strong enough in a really vigorous baby to briefly support the child's body weight as if he were doing pull-ups. Tonic neck reflex,fencing reflex The TNR is produced by turning the baby's head to one side while he lies on his back; he extends his arm on the side to which the head is turned, and flexes the other arm, in a pose that mimics a fencer. For an infant to remain in a constant tonic neck response is always abnormal. Parachute reflex The child is suspended by the trunk the child suddenly lowered as if the child were falling for an instant."

Causes Diagnosis Treatment Complications Exercises Most people have a gap under the arch of their foot when they are standing. The arch, the inner part of the foot is slightly raised off the ground. People with flat feet or fallen arches either have no arch, or it is very low. The feet of people with fallen arches may roll over to the inner side when they are standing or walking, known as overpronation. The feet may point outward. Some simple devices and exercises can help reduce the discomfort of flat feet. What are flat feet? If there is no space under the arch, the person has flat feet. In a person with fallen arches, one or both feet may be flat on the ground, and shoes may wear unevenly, especially on one side, or they may wear out more quickly than usual."

"text": "\"Apert syndrome Hand in Apert syndrome with syndactyly Specialty Medical genetics Apert syndrome is a form of acrocephalosyndactyly, a congenital disorder characterized by malformations of the skull, face, hands and feet. It is classified as a branchial arch syndrome, affecting the first branchial (or pharyngeal) arch, the precursor of the maxilla and mandible. Disturbances in the development of the branchial arches in fetal development create lasting and widespread effects. In 1906, Eugène Apert, a French physician, described nine people sharing similar attributes and characteristics. [ 1] Linguistically, in the term \"\"acrocephalosyndactyly\"\", acro is Greek for \"\"peak\"\", referring to the \"\"peaked\"\" head that is common in the syndrome; cephalo, also from Greek, is a combining form meaning \"\"head\"\"; syndactyly refers to webbing of fingers and toes. In embryology, the hands and feet have selective cells that die in a process called selective cell death, or apoptosis, causing separation of the digits. In the case of acrocephalosyndactyly, selective cell death does not occur and skin, and rarely bone, between the fingers and toes fuses. The cranial bones are affected as well, similar to Crouzon syndrome and Pfeiffer syndrome. Craniosynostosis occurs when the fetal skull and facial bones fuse too soon in utero, disrupting normal bone growth. Fusion of different sutures leads to different patterns of growth on the skull."

The First Month Age 1-3 Months Age 4-7 Months Age 8-12 Months On to Toddlerhood When to Seek Medical Care For More Information on Infant Milestones What Are Infant Milestones? 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."

Rotational and angular problems are two types of lower extremity abnormalities common in children. Rotational problems include intoeing and out-toeing. Intoeing is caused by one of three types of deformity: metatarsus adductus, internal tibial torsion, and increased femoral anteversion. Out-toeing is less common than intoeing, and its causes are similar but opposite to those of intoeing. These include femoral retroversion and external tibial torsion. Angular problems include bowlegs and knock-knees."

Flat feet Synonyms Pes planus, fallen arches A flat foot Specialty Orthopedics Flat feet (also called pes planus or fallen arches) is a postural deformity in which the arches of the foot collapse, with the entire sole of the foot coming into complete or near-complete contact with the ground. An estimated 20–30% of the general population have an arch that simply never develops in one or both feet. There is a functional relationship between the structure of the arch of the foot and the biomechanics of the lower leg. The arch provides an elastic, springy connection between the forefoot and the hind foot. This association safeguards so that a majority of the forces incurred during weight bearing of the foot can be dissipated before the force reaches the long bones of the leg and thigh. [ 1]In pes planus, the head of the talus bone is displaced medially and distal from the navicular. As a result, the Plantar calcaneonavicular ligament (spring ligament) and the tendon of the tibialis posterior muscle are stretched, so much so that the individual with pes planus loses the function of the medial longitudinal arch (MLA). If the MLA is absent or nonfunctional in both the seated and standing positions, the individual has “rigid” flatfoot."

"text": "Pretty soon these kittens can give birth to kittens of their own. When it comes to reproduction, cats are quite prolific breeders. One female kitty has the ability to produce an average of about 12 kittens each year if not spayed. To avoid a houseful of kitties, spay or neuter your furry companions to prevent unwanted litters. Puberty and Kittens Once a kitten reaches puberty, typically between 5 months and 9 months of age, he or she will be able to reproduce. Some kitties mature as young as 3 1/2 months of age, usually after they reach 4.4 pounds in weight, according to the Santa Barbara Humane Society. Outdoor kitties or those around mature, intact felines tend to mature more quickly than those that aren't. A sexually mature kitten can have kittens herself, as early as her first heat cycle. Pregnancy in kitties lasts approximately 65 days, after which that nursing mom can immediately go into heat, even while nursing, and become pregnant again. As for male kitties, they can impregnate countless numbers of females in heat."

However, when a kitten doesn't survive, it is so very sad. What is so Difficult About Newborn Kitten Care? 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."

There are some who argue that a kitten is ready to be sold at age 10 weeks; while most responsible breeders do not believe that this is best, it’s within acceptable ranges. However, any breeder who offers you a kitten younger than 10 weeks of age is not up on his or her research and doesn’t have the kitten’s best interest in mind. Run -- don’t walk -- from a breeder selling kittens so young. A kitten younger than 10 weeks of age is not fully weaned or socialized. Most are not fully weaned or socialized until age 12 weeks or older. While some kitten buyers believe \"\"the younger, the better\"\" and that an older kitten will not bond, this simply isn’t true. Cats are not pack animals and are able to bond with new humans at any time through their lives, even into old age."

Over 10 million dogs and cats in the United States alone are being put to death by euthanasia each year in animal shelters because there are no homes for them. And, the great majority of these animals are perfectly healthy, friendly and young. Because of this, great care should be taken to prevent pets from unplanned breeding, or breeding without homes available and waiting for the babies. The best solution to this problem is to spay your female pets and neuter your male pets. There are additional benefits to the pet owner for having this procedure performed on their pets: these benefits include the pet having, for the most part, a longer and healthier life; improved behavior and more responsiveness to their human family; increased safety as spayed and neutered pets are less likely to want to roam the streets outside and become injured or lost in search of a mate; no unwanted kittens; less tendency of the spayed or neutered pet to \"\"mark\"\" or damage household furnishings, and a marked decrease in many medical problems such as mammary cancers and uterine infections which are fairly common in unaltered cats. Simply put, spaying or neutering removes an animal's ability to reproduce. Spaying of females involves removing the female's uterus and ovaries surgically. Neutering involves the surgical removal of the male's testicles."

"text": "\"Frequently Asked Questions How do you tell if the cat is a stray/feral or belongs to someone who is letting it out? It is often difficult to know the difference. 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."

An orphaned kitten could potentially carry illness into your home that could affect your resident animals’ (or humans’) health. To protect people, young children should not handle the kittens and everyone should wash their hands after handling animals, fecal waste, or litter boxes. To protect other cats, the orphaned kittens should be separated from household pets for at least two weeks.

If you provide proper care and training when they’re young, it increases the odds they’ll grow up to be healthy, well-adjusted adults. So if you recently adopted a kitten, start incorporating this advice as soon as possible. MJ the kitten.1) Don’t Treat Your Kitten Like an Adult Cat Just as a human infant has vastly different needs than a teenager, a kitten will have care requirements distinct from those of a fully matured cat. In addition, you should consider a kitten’s various stages of development when caring for her: Under eight weeks of age. At this early age, a kitten should still be with her mother and litter mates. Because kittens this young are unable to regulate their own temperatures, they rely on one-another’s body heat to survive. In addition, they are still developing vision and leg coordination. If you adopt or foster an orphan kitten in this age group, special care will need to be taken, including bottle-feeding the kitten for every two hours up to four weeks of age and possibly helping your kitten pee and poop. It’s best to consult with a veterinarian for specific instructions and advice."

Part of umbilical cord may still be attached. Weight < 4oz.1 week-10 days - Eyes beginning to open, ears still flat. A kitten this age is smaller than your hand. 4 to 6oz weight.2 weeks - Eyes open bright blue color, kittens will crawl a bit on their tummies, and basically just sleep and nurse."

"text": "\"Cat Reproductive Health Mating and Conception in Cats The Cats Mating Game By Franny Syufy Updated 11/08/17Share Pin Emaildata/Getty Images Like other cat advocates, I strongly urge that whole pet female cats be spayed as early as possible, for a number of reasons. In fact, the current thinking is that early spay and neuter is preferred, Once a female cat reaches puberty, she becomes a queen, and estrus - sometimes spelled \"\"oestrus\"\" (heat) - cycles will start. In domestic cats heat cycles run generally from January through August, depending on location and climate. Until she mates or is spayed, these estrus cycles will repeat as often as every two or three weeks, causing distress to both the queen and her human companions. During these cycles, Queenie's entire focus will be on escaping the house to mate, or to mate with a male housemate, if you are careless enough to have whole male cats in the same household. She will be single-minded in her need to mate, will loudly vocalize (call), and lurk near doors, just waiting for the chance to meet up with one of the noisy feline Romeos who will cluster near your home, fighting for the privilege of impregnating your queen. While it is assumed that most people have good intentions about spay/neuter of their cats, sometimes females mature earlier than anticipated, and the unwary caregiver will find herself with a female in heat. Here are answers to some questions you may have on what happens during estrus, or if she indeed finds a mate: What Happens During Estrus? Estrus is described as the period of receptivity to mating, and is linked with the production of estrodial (a type of estrogen) produced by ovarian follicles. It is not to be confused with menstruation in human females, and you will rarely, if ever, see any signs of blood, although occasional mucous discharge may be evident."

"text": "\"Cats are rebellious teens at around the half-year mark. Trying to get a grasp on a cat's age can be confusing. After all, the cuties have different typical lifespans than humans, and they tend to retain their youthful appeal, even deep into older age. As with humans, the age of maturity depends on what facet of maturity you're considering. Reproductive Maturity Cats typically reach adolescence when they're around 6 months old, but the age of puberty varies. Certain breeds bloom much more rapidly than others. Siamese kittens may become reproductively capable at a mere 4 months, while a Persian kitty may not come into season for the first time until she's up to a full year old. The behavior of a cat who hasn't been spayed or neutered will unmistakably communicate the arrival of reproductive maturity. Male cats start roaming, display aggression, spray urine and vocalize. Females begin regular heat cycles and exhibit behaviors such as incessant meowing, crying, escape attempts and spraying."

For some people, acne may last well into adulthood but with the right treatment you can \"\"cure\"\" it. Acne is a common skin disease that usually starts in the teenage years. For some, it resolves without treatment while others need aggressive treatments to prevent acne from staying right on into adulthood. The question of when does acne stop is one that has a different answer for every person. Mild and moderate acne usually produce lesions such as comedones (whiteheads and blackheads), papules or pinheads, pustules or pimples and seborrhea or red, scaly skin. In severe cases, these lesions may be joined by inflamed bodies such as nodules or large papules, cysts and acne scars. Acne is mostly present on the skin in the parts of the body with the highest population of sebaceous follicles. These sites include the face, the back, and the upper chest."

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."

"text": "\"Acne and spots What is acne? The skin is covered in hundreds of microscopic hair follicles, often known as pores, and many of these, especially on the face, neck, back and chest, are close to grease glands called sebaceous glands that produce an oily product called sebum, which flows out of the pores. These follicles sometimes overproduce cells and become blocked, trapping the sebum and preventing it from draining to the surface of the skin. Bacteria that normally live on the skin surface thrive in this oily environment. This can lead to inflammation that we all recognise as acne spots. The most common bacteria involved in acne is called Propionibacterium acnes ( P. acnes ). All acne spots (also known as lesions) start out as microcomedones, which are invisible to the eye but can be seen under a microscope if a sample of acne-prone skin is examined. The different acne lesions include: Whiteheads, which form when the trapped sebum and bacteria create a deep plug in the follicle. Blackheads, which form when a pore becomes plugged at its opening. The black/brown colour is a build-up of the normal skin pigment called melanin (the same pigment that is responsible for a suntan) in the sebum after it has oxidized – it is not dirt and cannot be washed away."

Acne vulgaris is triggered by the hormonal changes that occur in puberty . Description Acne is a condition in which pimples appear on the face, chest, and back. In teenagers, acne usually appears on the forehead, nose, and chin. It is caused by the overproduction of sebum. Sebum is an oily substance that forms in glands just under the surface of the skin called sebaceous glands. Sebum normally flows out hair follicles onto the skin to act as a natural skin moisturizer. The glands are connected to hair follicles that allow the sebum, or oil, to empty onto the skin through a pore. If hair follicles become blocked by sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria, acne is the result."

"text": "Overview Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It often causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples, and usually appears on the face, forehead, chest, upper back and shoulders. Acne is most common among teenagers, though it affects people of all ages. Effective treatments are available, but acne can be persistent. The pimples and bumps heal slowly, and when one begins to go away, others seem to crop up. Depending on its severity, acne can cause emotional distress and scar the skin. The earlier you start treatment, the lower your risk of such problems. Symptoms Common acne Cystic acne Acne signs and symptoms vary depending on the severity of your condition: Whiteheads (closed plugged pores)Blackheads (open plugged pores)Small red, tender bumps (papules)Pimples (pustules), which are papules with pus at their tips Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface of the skin (nodules)Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface of the skin (cystic lesions)When to see a doctor If self-care remedies don't clear your acne, see your primary care doctor. He or she can prescribe stronger medications. If acne persists or is severe, you may want to seek medical treatment from a doctor who specializes in the skin (dermatologist)."

Is there any significant reason why bald eagles have yellow eyes? A. Great question. I really don't know if there is any reason that the adult iris is light, except that it is a morphological difference with the immature birds which have darker, brown iris' till sexual maturity. Could the yellow eyes look more threatening? Q. Does a female bald eagle have a white head like a male? A. Yes, they look identical. The female is larger than the male though, and measurements taken of certain body parts such as the bill and rear claw (hallux talon) can distinguish the two sexes; otherwise you can't tell. Q. How does an eagle see an animals on the ground while soaring high above? A. They have extremely keen vision. Their eyes are specially designed for long distance focus and clarity."

Golden and bald eagles are among the largest and most powerful birds in the world. They rank second in size next to the California condor among the birds of prey in North America. On inspection at close range, eagles look fierce and proud, and gracefully soar high in the air as they look for food and survey their aerial domain and the landscape beneath them.

"text": "Drone Tech Winners and Losers at the Precision Aerial Ag Conference 2014Last week my colleague Mitch Solomon and I were privileged to be in the company of more than one thousand farmers in rural Decatur, IL, for the two-day Precision Aerial Agriculture Show 2014 (PAAS 2014). Mitch covers five key takeaways from the show in his post about the event – including the most salient one: There is no killer drone app for farmers – rather, drones are a tool with many apps and high ROI. In this post, I’ll give an accounting and analysis of the players in attendance that are supporting the market for drones in agriculture. Some were present, others were mentioned but weren’t present, and still others were surprisingly absent on all counts. Bottom line Regardless of which vendors attended or exhibited, here’s what you need to know with regard to the drones vendors serving or intending to serve the agriculture market: Most of the companies that serve this market are small businesses. It is clear they are working hard to learn firsthand what farmers want from small drones and in doing so are establishing networks of distributors and service providers that will lock other players out of the market. Manufacturers of small drones for precision agriculture are consolidating around DJI and 3DRobotics for their flight control and mission planning software – mainly because of functional maturity and low-cost. The large aerospace companies and Department of Defense (Do D) contract vendors do not have a presence in this market. Even though some have participated in agricultural academic studies, as a whole their products are unknown in the farming community. These vendors simply have not established the necessary relationships with growers, dealers, coops, agronomists, and local service providers."

"text": "\"Journey North: Ask the Expert Answers From the Peregrine Falcon Expert We think you will find that Skip Ambrose's answers are fascinating and more than enough to keep you busy!From NEW JERSEY: Q. Why do Peregrines only have three to four eggs? Are they hard to take care of? A. No one really knows the answer to this question, but biologists think that peregrine falcons have three to four eggs because this is as many eggs as the female can keep warm during incubation (because her body is only so big) and because it is hard to feed more than three or four young falcons. Q. When Alyson Cocchiaro was trying to find where her Peregrine Falcon lived she discovered that in a book it said that Peregrine Falcons only lived in Baffin Island and Africa, but others in our group found their Falcons in other parts of the world such as Galapogos Islands, Belize, Central America and Northern Canada. Why? A. Peregrine falcons are truly a world-wide species and occur nearly everywhere. The biggest reason for this wide distribution is because they can live and nest in a wide range of habitats--from the desert to the forests--and because they eat a wide range of prey--they are not \"\"specialists\"\" and they eat all types of other birds. So peregrine have no limiting factors that keep them out of some areas--they seem to fit in almost anywhere. The other reason is that peregrines are very good at what they do: this is, catching other birds to eat and defending their territory and young from other predators. Q. Does any culture eat Peregrine Falcons or is D. D. T. the reason why they have disappeared in numbers?"

It provides a bolt-on Infrared Search and Track (IRST) system for optically hunting down enemy aircraft, especially stealthy ones, that our radars have trouble detecting. Advertisement The Legion Pod is pitched as a plug-and-play system that can be rapidly adapted to suit different aircraft and customers needs. Presumably, different sensors could end up being carried in the 18 inch thick pod system, not just the IRST and the data-link alone that the pod was unveiled with. Still, even as an IRST alone, it and other systems like it, may be absolutely essential when it comes to retaining America's air supremacy edge in what is quickly becoming an increasingly uncertain age of air combat. The USAF, Navy and Marines, should be funded to field the pod en masse after its capability is verified, as the Pentagon is living in denial of its aging and very prevalent 4th generation fighter force's ability to remain relevant over the battlefields of tomorrow. At the very least, we need to train our fighter forces to counter this capability as threats that are prevalent throughout the world have been fielding similar IRST systems for decades, with newer systems being much more capable than their predecessors. We can do this by supplying our aggressor squadrons with an IRST capability, and the bolt-on Legion Pod is the best answer we've yet seen to answer this problem. Blurry Past, Sharp Future: Advertisement At its most basic level, an Infrared Search and Track system is an infrared energy detection device that is usually fitted in a spherical glass enclosure on the front of a fighter aircraft. The systems scans the airspace ahead of the jet for heat signatures caused by aircraft engines and/or skin friction caused by the aircraft flying through the air."

It is said that the eagle sheds his feathers in the beginning of spring, and with fresh plumage assumes the appearance of youth. To this, allusion is made in Psalms 103:5 and Isaiah 40:31 . God's care over his people is likened to that of the eagle in training its young to fly ( Exodus 19:4 ; Deuteronomy 32:11 Deuteronomy 32:12 ). An interesting illustration is thus recorded by Sir Humphry Davy:, \"\"I once saw a very interesting sight above the crags of Ben Nevis.

The most commonly used symbol is probably that of the Cross. For each of us, the Cross will have various levels of meaning according to our life's experience .. .this symbol can convey a wealth of ideas, concepts, scriptural quotes, experiences of suffering etc. We need symbols in our spiritual journey, they can be points of focus that lead us into deeper prayer. They all have an ecclesial dimension. They are part of our patrimony in the Church and perhaps it would be a good idea to explore again — or possibly for the first time — their inner meaning and message. In the early era of the Church during the times of Christian persecution, the use of symbols was very prevalent, and a means of being identified as to belonging to Christ, thus witnessing to other Christians. They were if you like, the password in times of persecution. Christian symbols can be seen carved upon the graves and walls of the early Christian catacombs in Rome, especially St Priscilla, Domitilla, and Calixtus. By taking time to reflect upon each individual symbol we are brought into timeless contact with our brothers and sisters of the Christian Faith down through the ages and here it is important to remember our Catholic teaching on the Communion of St.s, all those past and present: the Church Militant on earth, the Church Suffering in Purgatory, and the Church Victorious in Heaven — all alive to one another, praying, interceding for one another."

They have had a powerful hold on the human imagination across centuries and cultures, appearing as warnings of doom and as symbols of wisdom. Of course, we know that most are nocturnal, and their nighttime habits may make them seem scary or spooky to us. We think of them flying silently over churchyards, and their eyes seem to glow in the dark. But there’s nothing supernatural about the acute hearing and sight of owls. Far from fearing them, we should appreciate owls as competent predators that hunt mice and other rodents, helping to maintain a balance in nature. While most of us have no problem identifying an owl—just look for that round face, sharp, hooked bill, and large eyes—it’s not as easy to distinguish between different kinds of owls. Even scientists have trouble placing some species in the two family groups: barn owls and typical owls. You have to look carefully at their facial disc (for example, all barn owls have a heart-shaped facial disc, whereas typical owls have a round one), their feet, and whether or not they have ear tufts. Look for owls near your home, and see if you can identify local species."

According to some it was once a mortal king named Periphas, whose virtuous rule was so celebrated that he was came to be honoured like a god. Zeus, in anger, would have smote him with a thunderbolt, but Apollon intervened and transformed the king into an eagle and set him beside the throne of Zeus. According to others Zeus adopted the eagle when it first appeared to him before the Titan War as a sign of good omen. The eagle was later sent by Zeus to fetch the handsome youth Ganymedes to heaven to become the cupbearer of the gods.

"text": "\"Explainer Answers to your questions about the news. Sept. 6 2007 6:57 PMWas Pavarotti Still a Good Singer? At what age does a tenor reach his peak? By Michelle Tsai Luciano Pavarotti Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti passed away on Wednesday at the age of 71 after an opera career that spanned five decades. The \"\"King of the High Cs\"\" sang almost until the end; he gave his final performance last year for the Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy. When do opera singers peak as vocalists? Usually between 30 and 50 years old. Singers' voices mature anywhere from their 20s to the early 40s, and, in general, voices that are deeper and heavier in tone take longer to develop fully. Coloraturas, or sopranos with light voices, typically reach their peaks earliest, in the mid-20s. Tenors start to hit their prime in the late 20s or early 30s, and basses sometimes have to wait until middle age for their voices to mature."

His name was Händel, but, like most 18th century musicians who traveled, he compromised with its pronunciation by foreigners, and when in Italy spelled it Hendel, and in England (where he became naturalized) accepted the version Handel, which is therefore correct for English writers, while Händel remains the correct version in Germany. His father was a barber-surgeon, who disapproved of music, and wished George Frederick to become a lawyer. A friend smuggled a clavichord into the attic, and on this instrument, which is inaudible behind a closed door, the little boy practiced secretly. Before he was eight his father went to visit a son by a former marriage who was a valet-de-chambre to the duke of Saxe-Weissenfels. The little boy begged in vain to go also, and at last ran after the carriage on foot so far that he had to be taken, He made acquaintance with the court musicians and contrived to practice on the organ when he could be overheard by the duke, who immediately recognizing his talent, spoke seriously to the father who had to yield to his arguments. On returning to Halle Handel became a pupil of Zachau, the cathedral organist, who gave him a thorough training as a composer and as a performer on keyed instruments, the oboe and the violin. Six very good trios for two oboes and bass, which Handel wrote at the age of ten, are extant; and when he himself was shown them by an English admirer who had discovered them, he was much amused and remarked, \"\"I wrote like the devil in those days, and chiefly for the oboe, which was my favorite instrument.\"\" His master also of course made him write an enormous amount of vocal music, and he had to produce a motet every week. By the time he was twelve Zachau thought he could teach him no more, and accordingly the boy was sent to Berlin, where he made a great impression at the court."

"text": "\"Chapter 9: Vocal Music of the Early Baroque Period As with other epochs, boundary dates for the Baroque period are only approximations. Many general characteristics of Baroque music appeared before 1600, and many were declining by the 1730s. But within the chronological limits of 1600 to 1750, composers accepted an innovative set of conventions for organizing music and adopted certain ideas about how music should sound. Most important, they believed that music, by acting on emotions, should move the listener. Italian musicians living around 1600 knew they were inventing new ways of making music. They devised new idioms, such as basso continuo, monody, and recitative; new styles, marked by unprepared dissonance, greater focus on the solo voice or instrument directed by a supporting bass line; and new genres, including opera. This generation saw the most deliberate cultivation of the new in music since the Ars nova in the early 1300s (see Chapter 4). Italian trends continued to dominate musical fashions during the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, and by 1750 the international language of European music had acquired a distinct Italian accent. Despite its political fragmentation, Italy remained the most influential region of Europe in musical matters during this period. Several Italian cities loomed disproportionately larger on the musical map than their real size or political power suggested."

The performance is typically given in an opera house, accompanied by an orchestra or smaller musical ensemble, which since the early 19th century has been led by a conductor. Opera is a key part of the Western classical music tradition.

L'Orfeo Favola in musica by Claudio Monteverdi Orpheus, the hero of the opera, with a violin, by Cesare Gennari Librettist Alessandro Striggio Language Italian Based on Greek legend of Orpheus Premiere 1607 Carnival season Mantua L'Orfeo ( SV 318) ( Italian pronunciation: [lorˈfɛːo] ), sometimes called La favola d'Orfeo [la ˈfaːvola dorˈfɛːo], is a late Renaissance /early Baroque favola in musica, or opera, by Claudio Monteverdi, with a libretto by Alessandro Striggio. It is based on the Greek legend of Orpheus, and tells the story of his descent to Hades and his fruitless attempt to bring his dead bride Eurydice back to the living world. It was written in 1607 for a court performance during the annual Carnival at Mantua. While Jacopo Peri 's Dafne is generally recognised as the first work in the opera genre, and the earliest surviving opera is Peri's Euridice, L'Orfeo is the earliest that is still regularly performed. By the early 17th century the traditional intermedio —a musical sequence between the acts of a straight play—was evolving into the form of a complete musical drama or \"\"opera\"\". Monteverdi's L'Orfeo moved this process out of its experimental era and provided the first fully developed example of the new genre. After its initial performance the work was staged again in Mantua, and possibly in other Italian centres in the next few years. Its score was published by Monteverdi in 1609 and again in 1615."

In the following sections we've covered the different vocal parts in the Opera, the role of the orchestra and at bottom you will find a glossary of common opera terms. Voice Types in Opera Did you ever wonder what the difference is between a soprano and a mezzo-soprano or what voice type can sing the lowest notes? Most opera singers fall into a voice type that reflects the singer's ability as well as the dramatic requirements of a particular role. * So how does one categorize a soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor, baritone, or bass, the five most common types of voices? It all depends upon one's vocal range, or the span from the lowest note to the highest note that a particular singer can produce. One's range one can sing is related to the size of the vocal chords and the speed at which they vibrate. Also taken into consideration when determining a singer's voice type are: the consistency of timbre (sound quality or color of the voice) and the ability to project the voice over a full orchestra -- remember, there are no microphones in opera, and there are small, medium/large and extra large voices. Vocal range in order of lightest to heaviest Coloratura Typically a voice with a very high range with the ability to sing complicated passages with great agility. Dramatic A heavy, powerful voice with a steely timbre."

He didn’t know the song would make much of an impact at all. The album on which it appeared, the murky, mid-career Various Positions, had been rejected wholesale by Columbia Records in the U. S., and when it finally was released, “the song was still generally ignored,” as Alan Light notes in his 2012 book The Holy or The Broken. Frankly, it’s no wonder: “Hallelujah,” as it sounds on that record, is a barely recognizable blur of ’80s keyboards and overwrought backing vocals that Cohen further confused by changing up the lyrics when he began singing it in concert. ( He has said he wrote as many as 80 verses, then whittled it down to four for the album version. ) Recommended Slideshows51In Pictures: The 50 Most Powerful Military Forces in the World44In Pictures: Every U.

It has become ubiquitous. Tallying versions by Cohen and plenty of others, Light estimates “Hallelujah” has been listened to hundreds of millions of times on You Tube alone."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Voice type Female Soprano Mezzo-soprano Contralto Male Countertenor Tenor Baritone Bassv t e A countertenor (also contra tenor) is a type of classical male singing voice whose vocal range is equivalent to that of the female contralto or mezzo-soprano voice types, generally extending from around G 3 to D 5 or E 5, [1] although a sopranist (a specific kind of countertenor) may match the soprano 's range of around C 4 to C 6. [ 2] Countertenors often are baritones or tenors at core, but rarely use this vocal range in performance. The nature of the counter-tenor voice has radically changed throughout musical history, from a modal voice, to a modal and falsetto voice, to the primarily falsetto voice which is denoted by the term today. This is partly because of changes in human physiology, and partly because of fluctuations in pitch. [ 3]The term first came into use in England during the mid-17th century, and was in wide use by the late 17th century. However, the use of adult male falsettos in polyphony, commonly in the soprano range, was known in European all-male sacred choirs for some decades previous, as early as the mid-16th century. [ 1] [4] Modern-day ensembles such as The Tallis Scholars and The Sixteen use of counter-tenors on alto parts in works of this period. There is no evidence that falsetto singing was known in Britain before the early 17th century, when it was occasionally heard on soprano parts. [ 5]During the Romantic period, the popularity of the countertenor voice waned and few compositions were written with that voice type in mind. In the second half of the 20th century, there was great interest in and renewed popularity of the countertenor voice, partly due to pioneers such as Alfred Deller, as well as the increased popularity of Baroque opera and the need of male singers to replace the castrati roles in such works."

He didn't mean to kill himself, but his entire adult life was full of behaviors and actions that are known to cause heart attacks, strokes, diabetes and premature death. At the time of his death, he was probably the most famous opera singer in the world, even though he had sung in very few operas. He wanted to have a classical music career, but after giving a concert at the Hollywood Bowl at age 26, the handsome and talented Lanza was offered such a huge seven-year contract by MGM Studios that he could not refuse it. To protect his potential future operatic career, he stipulated in the contract that he would work only six months a year for MGM so he could spend the rest of the year training and performing. He became a Hollywood star after his first film in 1949. He sold two million copies of his recording of \"\"Be My Love,\"\" which was the most-played song on jukeboxes in 1950. Soon afterward, he starred in The Great Caruso, a blockbuster movie that grossed an astounding $19 million in its first year., which would be $178 million today."

A castrato (plural castrati) was a type of male singer with a very high voice. The effect was produced either through castration, or because of some hormonal problems. The word castrato literally means castrated. Such singers were very sought after in the early days of the opera. Most of the main soprano roles in operas by Handel and other composers of that time were written for castrati. Nowadays they are almost always sung by female sopranos, since there are no castrati left."

Academy of St Martins In The Field Chorus For over half a century, this London-based chamber orchestra has repeatedly proved that it can achieve, without a conductor, the precision and level of expression generally attributed to the presence of the guy with the baton. Furthermore, within the challenging demands of Mozart's orchestral music, with its built-in demands for a somewhat homogenous approach, the ensemble achieved an engaging variety of timbres and moods. Violinist Kenneth Silito, sitting in the position of concertmaster, had been technically the leader of the conductorless ensemble before intermission. Pianist Jonathan Biss took on that role as piano soloist for the final work, the Piano Concerto No. 9 in E-flat, which stands out among the composer's thirty-odd concertos for its unique structural gestures and frequent whimsicality. Biss produced a deliberately bright, transparent sound to merge with the orchestra, at the same time applying a sweeping, almost romantic sensibility. The result was unique and striking, particularly in the pathos-driven middle movement.

"text": "The tonal era and after: 1600 to the present The beginning of the 17th century was one of the most dramatic turning points in the history of music, even more so than the beginning of the Ars Nova and almost as revolutionary as the beginning of the 20th century. The winds of change had been felt several decades earlier, and the establishment of the new style required several decades after the turn of the century, but the year 1600 saw the performance of several works destined to change the course of music. The Baroqueera Originally used in a derogatory sense of referring to something bizarre, degenerate, and abnormal, the term Baroque gradually acquired a positive connotation for the grandiose, dramatic, energetic spirit in art that prevailed during the period from about 1600 to about 1750. The new spirit required a vastly expanded musical vocabulary, and a rapid evolution of new techniques occurred, particularly in vocal music. Two distinct musical styles were recognized. One, the prima prattica (or stile antico ), was the universal style of the 16th century, the culmination of two centuries of adherence to Flemish models. The other, called seconda prattica, or stile moderno, referred to the new theatrical style emanating from Italy. The expanded vocabulary allowed for a clearer distinction between sacred and secular music as well as between vocal and instrumental idioms, and national differences became more pronounced. The tonal organization of music evolved also, as the medieval modes that had previously served as the basis of melody and harmony were gradually replaced, during the 17th century, by the system of tonality dominating Western music until about 1900: a system based on contrasting keys, or sets of interrelated notes and chords deriving from a major or minor scale. Viewing the period as a whole, two additional innovations most clearly distinguish it from the preceding Renaissance: concertato, or the contrast, combination, and alternation of voices and instruments, and basso continuo (thorough bass, figured bass), an accompaniment consisting of a low-pitched instrument, such as a violoncello or a bassoon, combined with a keyboard instrument or lute capable of harmonic elaboration."

Dan had to impress the judges who shortlisted 5 men for a public vote.

His physique starts to become that of a young man, rather than a child. Some boys may gain weight before they grow taller, which might cause them embarrassment. Let your son know that midline plumpness at this age is normal for lots of boys. Another source of concern and embarrassment may be breast development. Let your son know that men have mammary tissue, too, and that about one-third of boys can expect some swelling under their nipples. This swelling will disappear spontaneously."

The teenage years are also called adolescence. During this time, the teenager will see the greatest amount of growth in height and weight. Adolescence is a time for growth spurts and puberty changes. An adolescent may grow several inches in several months followed by a period of very slow growth, then have another growth spurt. Changes with puberty may occur gradually or several signs may become visible at the same time. There is a great amount of variation in the rate of changes that may occur. Some adolescents may experience these signs of maturity sooner or later than others. It is important to remember that these changes happen at different times for everyone. Being smaller or bigger than other girls or boys is normal as each child experiences puberty at his/her own time."

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."

But of course, things weren't always this way. An eye-opening new video is showing exactly what caused women at the turn of the 20th century to begin shaving their armpits, and why the bare underarm trend persisted for the next 100 years. The clip, which was created by history and news website Timeline and has been viewed more than 1.2 million times, reveals that the majority of US women did not shave their armpits until 1915, when sleeveless dresses became a socially acceptable trend.

A slew of anti-armpit hair advertisements followed, with shaving and deodorant companies portraying women sexily showing off their bare underarms in magazines. One ad for the deodorant brand Veto sees a woman holding her arms above her head as a man lies on top of her, along with the tagline: 'Because you are the very air he breathes. ' Another magazine advertisement, titled 'Without embarrassment: An intimate talk to women', shows a woman in a sleeveless dress proudly flaunting her bare armpits. ' The fastidious woman today must have immaculate underarms if she is to be unembarrassed,' reads the subtext.

Children who were once sweet, helpful and good fun to be around turn, almost overnight, into grunting creatures, who wear nothing but black, lie abed until noon and consume 5,000-calorie snacks (followed immediately by saying that they are still hungry). They are spotty, frequently smelly, and grow out of every item of clothing they have in the space of a few months. Their boredom threshold plummets and they do not seem able to concentrate on anything for more than five minutes at a time. You begin to wonder whether your child is a changeling, swapped with your own by an alien from the Planet MTV while you weren't looking. Teenagers are trapped in limbo, neither children nor adults. An excruciating mix of vulnerability and potential, which by turns engages, inspires and alienates adults - everything they do has a high intensity feel about it. We know this because our own adolescent experiences - our first kiss, the first time we fell in love, the first time we drove a car alone - still burn brightly 30 or 40 years on. There is a darker side, too - soaring rates of serious accident, illicit use of drugs or alcohol, risky sexual behaviours and their consequences and the first signs of emotional disorders which may be lifelong.

Or why a young child's golden locks often disappear before the age of 10? Here, one leading expert, Rodney Sinclair, Professor of Dermatology at the Epworth Hospital and University of Melbourne, explains the science of hair colour - and why some of us are cursed with more greys than others... What determines the colour of hair? Hair colour is produced by cells known as melanocytes, which migrate into the hair bulb as the hair follicles develop in utero. The melanocytes produce pigment that is incorporated into the growing hair fibres to produce hair in a bewildering array of natural shades. Hair colour depends on the presence and ratios of two groups of melanins: eumelanins (brown and black pigments) and pheomelanins (red and yellow pigments). While variations in the ratio of these pigments can produce an large number of colours and tones, siblings often have strikingly similar hair colour.+7The Duchess of Cambridge battles with grey hair, as these pictures reveal. Genetic factors appear to be important in determining when we turn grey, rather than lifestyle, says Professor Sinclair+7 +7Most of us find our first 'greys' by the time we turn 30, usually at the temples, then later, across the scalp Duchess of Cambridge shows silver streak at factory visit How hair colour varies according to body site For example, eyelashes are the darkest because they contain high levels of eumalanin. Scalp hair is usually lighter than pubic hair, which often has a red tinge, due to the presence of more phaeomelanin pigments. A red tinge is also common in underarm and beard hair, even in people with essentially brown hair on their scalp."

Well, you know how everyone says that puberty is all about raging hormones; it's kind of true. Hormones that were hibernating suddenly awaken and signal your body to enter puberty. You might think this doesn't mean a lot but, hormones cause the changes that are associated with puberty. Timing of Puberty Genitalia & Pubic Hair Growing Possible Breast Development Voice Change Body Hair Acne Timing of Puberty Puberty starts at different times and lasts for different periods of time for everyone. It can start as early as 9 years of age to as late as 13 1/2 years of age. The sequence of pubertal development usually ranges from 2 to 5 years. This is sometimes very difficult, as some of your peers may have entered and completed puberty before you have even started."

Flag What age are most feeder cattle when slaughtered? Answer by Karin L. Confidence votes 94.9KThere's more to raising cattle than throwing them out to pasture. Know your soil and plants to earn profit above ground and wealth below. Most feeders/finishers are slaughtered at around 18 to 24 months of age, however finisher cattle are slaughtered according to a particular target finish weight they have to reach, not by their age. This is because there are variations in how cattle are finished due to their breeding, genetics and sex. Continentals will take a shorter time to finish because they tend to reach target weight much sooner due to their high growth rates, and may be ready for slaughter by the time they are 12 to 18 months of age. British-type cattle will take longer because they are smaller and tend to gain in more fat than muscle when on a finisher diet. British-breds also have a slower growth rate than Continentals do, and may not be slaughtered until they are past 18 months of age. All in all though, finishers are slaughtered at a target weight of around 1400 lb."

In general, the animals would be killed for food; however, they might also be slaughtered for other reasons such as being diseased and unsuitable for consumption. The slaughter involves some initial cutting, opening the major body cavities to remove the entrails and offal but usually leaving the carcass in one piece. Such dressing can be done by hunters in the field (field dressing of game) or in a slaughterhouse. Later, the carcass is usually butchered into smaller cuts. The animals most commonly slaughtered for food are cattle and water buffalo for beef and veal, sheep for lamb and mutton, goats for goat meat, pigs for pork, deer for venison, horses for horse meat, poultry (mainly chickens, turkeys and ducks ), insects (a commercial species is the house cricket ), and increasingly, fish in the aquaculture industry ( fish farming ).

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."

"text": "\"Reader Approved How to Start up a Beef Cow Calf Operation A beef cow-calf operation is an operation on a farm or ranch where you have cows and bulls that are bred together to produce calves. Calves are often sold to the market to be grown into beefers. Note that there are two types of cow-calf operations: commercial and seedstock. Commercial generally involves cross-bred cows that are bred to produce calves that are mainly for beef production. Commercial can also have cows of the same breed, but most are not purebred cows. Seedstock operations, on the other hand, are where producers raise a favorite breed (sometimes more than one) and breeds cows to get calves that are grown and sold to other producers as replacement stock. Generally, most rookie cattlemen should start off as commercial cattlemen to gain the experience of calving cows, weaning calves, marketing calves, selecting cows and bulls and replacement heifers and culling the rest, etc. before they decide to go into the feedstock or purebred business .

Or rather, why is some meat tender, and some not? You get what you pay for. Meat from the hindquarters is made up of much larger muscle groups, with less cartilage and connective tissue and is therefore more tender. Meat with the fat deposited within the steak to create a 'marbled' appearance has always been regarded as more tender than steaks where the fat is in a layer around the outside. But there is a view that both stress before slaughter in particular, and lack of aging of the meat has more to do with toughness than most other factors, including marbling . There is a complex interplay between pasture species effects, protein intake, calcium status, stress before and at killing, breed, the age of the animal, and how the meat is treated after slaughter. The best meat cuts on an animal can be made tough by stress, and an older animal can have relatively tender meat if it is docile, handled and slaughtered without it becoming stressed, and the meat aged correctly. The message for the person killing beasts for the home freezer is that a quiet and humane kill gives superior meat; for the hunter, an animal ambushed and killed cleanly and instantly will have superior meat to that chased by dogs or not killed cleanly. The message for the consumer is that the more you pay, the more likely the meat is to be tender."

She was on staff at 'Gourmet' for almost 20 years. Bio The catchphrase was “ Where’s the beef ?” It was first used in a hugely successful 1984 ad campaign for Wendy’s, the fast-food chain, and it tickled the nation’s collective funny bone. Thirty years later, consumers are far more likely to ask, “Where’s the beef from ?” According to a recent Consumer Reports survey on food labels, 88 percent believe, for example, that a humanely raised claim on meat packaging means the animals were humanely slaughtered—the reality is far more complicated. The survey found that more than a third of consumers look for certified humane labeling at the grocery store, and 80 percent believe that good living conditions for animals is crucial when they consider what meat they’re going to buy. But sorting out the various labels at the butcher counter and the supermarket meat case is no laughing matter—and there are a lot of differences among the labels and claims you’ll come across."

Learning that those parts are most likely to carry the disease only strengthens the aversion. But despite new rules adopted in December to keep the riskiest tissues out of the food chain, some of the unsavory ingredients can still wind up on the table, hidden behind innocuous labels like \"\"beef flavoring\"\" or as accidental contamination in taco filling or processed meat. People can get a fatal, human version of the disease by eating tissue from infected animals, though no one knows what dose it takes. Cows can become infected by eating less than one-thousandth of an ounce of brain tissue from a sick animal, a panel of international experts said in a report to the U. S. Department of Agriculture earlier this month. The panel strongly recommended the United States consider a total ban on brains and other high-risk tissue in human food. At the least, the report said, the government should tighten restrictions significantly, unless an aggressive mad-cow testing program proves the disease hasn't spread in the cattle population. After the infected Holstein was discovered near Yakima in December, the USDA quickly banned human consumption of the most dangerous parts from cattle 30 months old or older: brains, spinal cords, eyes and backbones. The tonsils and small intestines were banned from animals of any age. Young cattle exempt But because only about 15 percent of cattle slaughtered are over 30 months of age, the brains from 30 million animals a year can still go into the human food supply."

"text": "\"Karin Lindquist, Bovine enthusiast; Raised & worked with cows and cattle, mainly beef breeds. Answered Sep 13, 2015 · Author has 398 answers and 845.4k answer views This is a very loaded question, let me tell you that much. Water consumption by cattle alone is not some standard-issue, one particular number to assign to all ages, sizes, classes and types of cattle! It all depends on their weight, the reproductive/lactation status, the type of feed being fed, and the environment--primarily temperature and humidity--they are raised in. So to answer this question a number of factors have to be assumed, and not all are realistic. Let's assume our \"\"cow\"\" is a finisher steer that weighs 1000 pounds, raised for four months on a corn-based diet. Average ambient temperature is 70ºF or 21ºC. That animal is consuming 12.6 gallons of water per day (that's a rate of consumption of 1.2 percent water consumed of the animal's body weight). So over the four months, 1,537 gallons of water is consumed by that animal. The assumed finishing weight of said animal upon slaughter is 1,350 pounds, with a hanging hot carcass weight of 823.5 pounds. So assuming that over the 122 days (four month period) the steer was gaining 3 pounds per day, converted to 6 pounds of dry matter feed to one pound of gain (since the average rate of intake is 2 percent of an animal's body weight, or 20 pounds of dry matter consumed a day), and the ration is 30 percent corn (corn grain, that is), that would mean he consumed 2,440 pounds of corn-based finisher ration over all."

Species Colour Beef Bright cherry red Fish Pure white to grey-white or pink to dark red Horse Dark red Lamb and mutton Light red to brick red Pork Greyish pink Poultry Grey-white to dull red Veal Brownish pink Table 3 Typical colour of meat from different species Meat colour is significant to consumer acceptance of products. The bright red colour of good quality beef, sockeye salmon, and young lamb are naturally appealing, whereas the paler colours of veal and other fish species are less appealing to many (although more sought after by some ethnic groups). Dark meats such as horse are more popular in Quebec and European countries. Mutton (sheep over 12 months of age with darker flesh) appeals to an even smaller range of customers. Factors Affecting Colour Use of Muscles Poultry provides a good opportunity to see and learn about the differences in meat colour. Meat cutters and cooks may often be asked why different parts of a chicken have white meat and other parts have dark meat, or why duck or game birds have mostly dark meat. The colour of the meat is determined by how the muscle is used."

Cattle raised for beef have a lifespan between 12 to 24 months. Beef cattle for breeding have an average lifespan of around 8 to 12 years. Cattle have been known to live over twice as long as what's considered average, depending on breed, productivity (usually), health status, temperament, and/or how much of an emotional value they hold for the producer or owner. Often it's health and temperament that are the biggest determinants for a bovine's lifespan if not for productivity, because a healthy cow will live longer than a sickly one, and one that is docile or doesn't give a producer much trouble will last a lot longer than one that may raise a good calf but is a nasty piece of work even with the best, calmest handling practices that can possibly be used. It's not uncommon to hear of producers wanting to hold back a particular cow because she's a favourite for some reason, either for temperament or character or something else. If she's seen as something of a pet, then that producer would seriously reconsider selling her for hamburger, and instead allow her to live out her days in the back pasture getting the best care possible until it's her time to go to the big pasture in the sky.

As of January 2004, more than 180,000 cases of BSE were confirmed in Great Britain in more than 35,000 herds of cattle. The epidemic peaked in January 1993 at almost 1,000 new cases per week. Although the origin of the disease is uncertain it may have resulted from the feeding of scrapie containing meat and bone meal (MBM) to cattle or from feeding cattle MBM derived from a cow or other animal that developed the disease due to a spontaneous mutation. There is strong evidence and general agreement that the outbreak was amplified by feeding meat-and-bone meal prepared from cattle to young calves. What causes BSE?

( Animals Australia)It is impossible to reconcile the abhorrent images of exported livestock being abused in Gaza with the concept of halal slaughter as proscribed in the Qur'an, writes Ruby Hamad. It resembled nothing so much as the Running of the Bulls. Large, terrified animals bucking as excited youths shouted in a showdown between \"\"man\"\" and \"\"beast\"\". But this time the tradition was taking place not in the name of sport, but of religion, as yet another egregious example of animal abuse in the live export trade was uncovered by Animals Australia (AA). This time it was Gaza during Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice), where heartbreaking images included steers shot in the kneecaps, kicked, stabbed in the eye, and having their throats repeatedly hacked with blunt knives. But before cultural superiority has us crowing about \"\"those\"\" countries abusing \"\"our\"\" cattle, Australians must acknowledge that those animals suffered immensely long before they arrived in Gaza. AA, for all the good work they do, is often guilty of glossing over the abuses suffered by animals on the cargo ships in favour of the graphic images of their slaughter upon destination. As Australians, we need to examine our own relationship to animals and the role we play in exporting cruelty to the world. But as someone who was raised to believe in a compassionate Islam, I am also dismayed at the unwillingness of Muslims to reconsider their religious obligations towards animals."

While live auction markets may describe D1, D2 cow prices, it is terminology adopted to describe live cows predicted to have the highest carcass value, even though the cow carcasses have not been graded. Body Condition Scoring (BCS)In Canada body condition scoring is a visual rating of fatness on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being the extremely lean cow and 5 being the extremely fat one. In the U. S. the scoring is on a scale of 1 to 9. BCS does not describe muscling and is terminology often used to describe cow condition for managing feeding systems. It is safe to predict that a BCS 1 cow would, using the cull cow carcass grading system grade D3 and a BCS 5 cow would grade D4. Cull Cow Body Composition Cull cow body composition varies considerably in terms of carcass weight and percentages of fat, muscle and bone. The percentages in Figure 1 are ranges where the majority of animals will fall, but there are always individual cases that will be outside these ranges. Use the information in Figure 1 to predict the weight of saleable lean meat. Start with the live weight, make estimates of body fill, fat thickness and muscling, and then apply these predictions to the percentage ranges listed in Figure 1."

"text": "\"Livestock Research for Rural Development 14 (6) 2002how to cite this paper Feedlot performance of various breed groups of cattle fed low to high levels of roughage D Norris*, J Macala, J Makore and B Mosimanyana Department of Agriculture Research, Private bag 0033, Gaborone, Botswana *School of Agricultural & Environmental Sciences Private Bag X1106, Sovenga, South [email protected] Abstract Beef production in Botswana relies mainly on the range using local and foreign breeds as either pure breeds or for crossbreeding. The foreign breeds and their crosses are large and do not usually finish well on the range. Supplementation has not been used extensively in Botswana due to high cost of imported feeds. This study investigated the use of locally available agricultural by-products for feedlot finishing of young crossbred males commonly used in Botswana. The low, medium and high roughage diets were balanced for crude protein and mineral content but differed in digestible energy. Animals fed the low and medium roughage diets had average daily gains above 1.0 kg per day, except for Brahman and Santa Gertrudis crosses which had daily gains of 0.8 kg per day when fed the low roughage diet. Crosses of South-Devon, Charolais, Santa Getrudis and pure Brahman fed the low roughage diet had cold dressed mass above 200 kg, whilst the Sussex crosses had cold dressed mass of 188 kg. Based on this information, it is recommended that for animals raised on the range, finishing off should be done using low roughage diets for all breeds. Medium roughage diets can be used but will result in lower gains. Further research is needed to evaluate the digestibility of diets by the animals and to carry out the economics of intensive fattening using locally available feed resources."

Try it now.meat (redirected from Lean Meat) Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Legal .meat,term for the flesh of animals used for food, especially that of cattle, sheep, lambs, andswine, as distinct from game, poultry, and fish; sometimes it is inclusive of all animal flesh. Thechief constituents of meat are water, protein, and fat. Phosphorus, iron, and vitamins are alsocontained in meat, especially in some of the edible organs (e.g., liver). Although meat is digestedmore slowly than starches or sugars, it has a high food value, with more than 95% of the protein andfat being digested; the fattier meats (e.g., pork) take somewhat longer to digest than the leanerones. The edible parts of a carcass include lean flesh, fat flesh, and edible glands or organs, such as the heart, liver, kidneys, tongue, tripe, brains, and sweetbreadsweetbread. The thymus gland (known as throat sweetbread) and the pancreas (stomach sweetbread), especially of the calf and lamb (although beef sweetbreads are sometimes eaten),are considered delicacies and are rich in mineral elements and vitamins...... Click the link for more information.. The comparative toughness of meat depends on the character of the muscle walls and connective tissue, the part of the animalfrom which the meat is taken, and the age and condition of the animal. Ripening meat, i.e., hanging it for a time at a temperature just above freezing (or, in a more recently developed technique, at a high temperature) permits enzyme action and the formation of lactic acid, which tenderizes it. Goodmeat may be recognized by a uniform color; a firm, elastic texture; being barely moist to the touch;and having a scarcely perceptible, clean odor. The choicer cuts should be of fine texture and wellmarbled with fat."

"text": "\"In an age where sons and daughters remain longer in the family home, one may question the concept of childhood dependence ending at majority. The issue is central to determining when child support should terminate. In California, the default position (reflected on court forms) is that child support terminates at the age of 18, but this can be altered by either the parents or the court. California Child Support California law requires both parents to provide support for their minor children. The amount of child support a non-custodial parent must pay is dictated by statutory guidelines; it varies depending upon the financial situation of both parents as well as the age and number of children. A family law judge is only permitted to deviate from the child support guidelines if the case falls within one of the express exceptions. California state government is also active in assisting custodial parents to collect unpaid child support. Divorce is never easy, but we can help.

These forms, developed and updated by the California Judicial Council, are available online from the court system website as well as from online legal services providers."

Deepa Fernandes / KPCCDeepa Fernandes | October 14, 2014While debate rages on increasing the minimum wage locally and nationally, one unexpected group of workers earning close to the bottom of the scale stands to benefit if the floor is raised: preschool teachers. Although a college degree is required for many teaching in early education, it's not unusual for a teacher to get about $11.75 an hour or $24,440 for the year. That salary puts a family of three or more below the federal poverty line. The state minimum wage now stands at $9 an hour and will rise to $10 in 2016. But if the Los Angeles City Council joins Mayor Eric Garcetti in supporting an increase in the minimum wage to $13.25 an hour by 2017, the average preschool teacher could see an annual salary of $27,560."

California Child Support Enforcement Measures If a non-custodial parent doesn't make regular child support payments, he or she is subject to enforcement measures in the State of California to collect regular and past-due payments. A \"\"wage assignment\"\" is typically imposed to collect regular and past-due payments directly from the paying parent's paycheck. Funds are deducted by their employer and remitted directly to the custodial parent. Fines and/or possible imprisonment may be imposed by the court Court-ordered earnings withholding which can result in up to 50% of the paying parent's other income being withheld by their employer (s). Past-due child support may be collected from federal and state income tax refunds, state or property tax credits, and lottery winnings. Liens may be filed against his or her real property or other assets. Applications for state issued business, professional and driver's licenses (for example: cosmetologist, contractor, doctor, teacher, attorney, class A, B, and C drivers licenses) to parents with past due child support payments may be denied for new licenses or renewals. Current licenses may also be suspended or revoked."

The program's services and resources are designed to foster stable family relationships, enhance children's physical and emotional well-being, and establish an environment to develop strong cognitive skills. The transition from preschool to elementary school imposes diverse developmental challenges that include requiring the children to engage successfully with their peers outside the family network, adjust to the space of a classroom, and meet the expectations the school setting provides. [ 1]Launched in 1965 [2] by its creator and first director Jule Sugarman, Head Start was originally conceived as a catch-up summer school program that would teach low-income children in a few weeks what they needed to know to start elementary school. The Head Start Act of 1981 [3] expanded the program. [ 4] The program was revised when it was reauthorized in December 2007."

Child abuse Domestic violence Incest Child-sellingv t e In family law and public policy, child support (or child maintenance) is an ongoing, periodic payment made by a parent for the financial benefit of a child (or parent, caregiver, guardian, or state) following the end of a marriage or other relationship. Child maintenance is paid directly or indirectly by an obligor to an obligee for the care and support of children of a relationship that has been terminated, or in some cases never existed. Often the obligor is a non-custodial parent. The obligee is typically a custodial parent, a caregiver, a guardian, or the state. Depending on the jurisdiction, a custodial parent may pay child support to a non-custodial parent. Typically one has the same duty to pay child support irrespective of sex, so a mother is required to pay support to a father just as a father must pay a mother. In some jurisdictions where there is joint custody, the child is considered to have two custodial parents and no non-custodial parents, and a custodial parent with a higher income (obligor) may be required to pay the other custodial parent (obligee)."

Welfare Government benefits distributed to impoverished persons to enable them to maintain a minimumstandard of well-being. Providing welfare benefits has been controversial throughout U. S. history. Since the colonial period,government welfare policy has reflected the belief that the indigent are responsible for their poverty,leading to the principle that governmental benefits are a privilege and not a right. Until the Great Depression of the 1930s, state and local governments bore some responsibility for providingassistance to the poor. Generally, such assistance was minimal at best, with church and volunteeragencies providing the bulk of any aid. The New Deal policies of President franklin d. roosevelt included new federal initiatives to helpthose in poverty. With millions of people unemployed during the 1930s economic depression,welfare assistance was beyond the financial resources of the states. Therefore, the federalgovernment provided funds either directly to recipients or to the states for maintaining a minimumstandard of living. Following the 1930s, federal programs were established that provided additional welfare benefits,including medical care ( Medicaid ), public housing, food stamps, and Supplemental Security Income (SSI)."

"text": "This section helps you understand some legal words that are used in family court to describe the sharing of parenting responsibilities. For example, you will often hear the words “custody” and “visitation” being used in separation and divorce cases. “ Child custody” refers to the rights and responsibilities between parents for taking care of their children. In your case, you will need to decide on custody. You also need to decide on “visitation,” which means how each parent will spend time with the children. In California, either parent can have custody of the children, or the parents can share custody. The judge makes the final decision about custody and visitation but usually will approve the arrangement (the parenting plan) that both parents agree on. If the parents cannot agree, the judge will make a decision at a court hearing. The judge will usually not make a decision about custody and visitation until after the parents have met with a mediator from Family Court Services. Types of custody orders There are two kinds of child custody: Legal custody, which means who makes important decisions for your children (like health care, education, and welfare), and Physical custody, which means who your children live with."

Your phrase, “enhanced child-only grants,” suggests that these states ' payments to relative caregivers supplement the child-only grants they provide under the federal Temporary Assistance to Needy Family (TANF) block grant. Oregon does not use TANF funds for its caregiver subsidy (but we describe it nonetheless). We have included information on California and Wisconsin, which also use TANF funds to pay relative caregivers. But we were unable to obtain any information on Michigan. SUMMARYCaregiver Relative Payment Alternatives Relatives who care for their kin typically receive funds from a state in two ways. They become licensed foster care providers and receive payments through the state ' s child protective services (CPS) agency (the Department of Children and Families in Connecticut). The federal government reimburses the state for these payments through its Title IV-E program. In these cases a court must have placed the children in the state ' s custody after it determined they were abused or neglected. Relatives who do not wish to become licensed foster caregivers or who care for a child who has not gone through the CPS system can receive a TANF child-only grant from the state ' s welfare agency."

This is an important question asked by both the newly divorced and people who have children who are about to become legal adults. What is Child Maintenance? If you are unsure what child maintenance is, child maintenance is the United Kingdom's version of American child support. If you are living in the United Kingdom and you get divorced, the non-custodial parent will need to pay child maintenance to contribute towards the child's daily expenses. Similar to the American child support system, the custodial parent will receive child support payments when the non-custodial parent is paid. Depending on the circumstances, custodial parents may receive a smaller check each week or a larger check once a month. It is important to realize that in the United Kingdom, you have two options for setting up child maintenance payments. One option is to work out your own agreement with your ex-spouse and then put that agreement in writing. If you use this option, the Child Support Agency will not help you if one or both of you attempts to break the agreement."

There are basically two schools of thought: 1 – that true autism rates are on the rise, and 2 – that the measured rise is an artifact of increased surveillance and a broadening of the definition. I wrote previously about this very controversy, in which I concluded that the expanded diagnosis hypothesis is much better supported by the evidence. Now, a new study published last week in the journal Epidemiology is being presented by proponents of the epidemic hypothesis as support for their view. A closer look, however, reveals that this study does not support the epidemic hypothesis and adds little to the overall literature on this question. Background Prior studies generally support the contention that autism rates are rising due to changes in diagnosis and surveillance. ( see my list of references below) For example, Taylor, after reviewing the evidence, wrote in 2006: The recorded prevalence of autism has increased considerably in recent years."

The person wanting to establish Paternity can either be the Mother, Father, or child, depending on the individual desires of the parties involved. With science giving us more accurate testing, the matter of establishing paternity is easier and more reliable than in the past. DNA testing methods include SWAB Test and DNA Genetic Identity. DNA testing centers are easy to locate and the costs are reasonable. For this reason, most paternity matters are settled prior to trial. In addition, Complaints and Petitions to establish Paternity are now often routine and agreed to by all parties. The resulting child support and custody proceedings are also involved. There are three main ways in which paternity is typically established; by a paternity affidavit, by an administrative order based on genetic test results, or by a court order. Some state laws provide that both persons who sign the paternity affidavit waive any right to bring a court or administrative action to determine the parentage of the child other than for purposes of rescinding the affidavit."

Child support is intended to minimize the economic impact on the child’s standard of living, not the other parent’s standard of living, however the two are often intertwined. It is intended to entitle the child to enjoy the standard of living had the parents remained together, and to provide the child with the needed survival requirements, including health insurance. The best interests of the child is the main focus when determining child support obligations. The Massachusetts Child Support Guidelines considers a few items, such as gross income, medical, dental and vision insurance payments, child care payments, and other support obligations paid. It does not take into consideration the bills, mortgages, car loans, and living expenses of the parties. There is a presumption that the child support guidelines worksheet accurately reflects the standard of living of the parents. In order to overcome this presumption the party must present evidence before the court, and the court is required to make a written reasons why it did not adhere to the guidelines. Generally speaking, the court has the authority to order an amount that is in the best interest of the child, and takes into consideration the financial ability and earning capacity of the parents of the child.

"text": "\"You asked about laws in other states that authorize courts to issue child support orders that continue while students are enrolled in college or other post-secondary education or job training programs. SUMMARYWe found laws in 10 states that permit courts to order a parent to pay some portion of a child ' s post-secondary educational expenses. And two others extend the age of majority to a child ' s 21 st birthday for child support purposes, thus permitting support orders to cover any child up to that age. Outside of these states, courts have issued conflicting rulings on the authority of judges to order child support payments after the age of majority. For example, judges in New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, and South Carolina have found this authority in those states ' general child support laws. But Pennsylvania ' s Supreme Court has ruled that it is unconstitutional to order divorced parents to support offspring after they reach adulthood. STATE STATUTESColorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Missouri, New York, Oregon, and Washington have enacted legislation authorizing courts to order post-majority support in appropriate cases. We describe each of these laws below and enclose copies. Colorado Colorado recognizes post-secondary education expenses as a reason to extend parental support obligations until a child turns age 21 or completes his undergraduate studies, whichever occurs first. If a court determines it appropriate for parents to contribute to a child ' s post-secondary education, the family court judge must terminate any existing child support order and replace it with an order requiring the parents to contribute to the child ' s education expenses."

But what makes him an extraordinary individual lies beyond this noble deed. In what would be a few months with the regiment, Shaw's remarkable personal growth found him transformed from \"\"an ordinary mortal\"\" to a compassionate and selfless leader who \"\"laid down his life\"\" for his men and \"\"for a race.\"\" This is what makes him a true hero. A Prosperous and Humanitarian Upbringing Robert Gould Shaw was born on October 10, 1837 in Boston, Massachusetts, the second child and only son of Francis George and Sarah Blake (Sturgis) Shaw. As the grandchild of successful merchants who had amassed millions of dollars in the trade industry, Robert enjoyed a comfortable upbringing with his four sisters. From the early years of his sheltered childhood, he demonstrated a fondness for family, companionship, and social events. When Robert was four, his father, a merchant and part-time lawyer, retired at age 32 to pursue a literary career and philanthropic interests, and to spend more time with his family. Francis relocated the family to the country near Brook Farm, an experimental commune inhabited by intellectuals such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Margaret Fuller. Living in this area until he was nine, Robert was introduced to these freethinkers' beliefs as well as the open-minded ideals of the local Unitarian church members."

Clarissa Harlowe Barton, the fifth and youngest child of Sarah Stone and Stephen Barton, was born on Christmas Day, 1821, in Oxford, Massachusetts, a small farming community.

"text": "Graduation from high school may or may not end your obligation to pay child support. It depends on two main factors, the statutory requirements in the state the child resides and any contractual obligations you agreed to in writing, usually during a divorce proceeding. Generally, by the time a child graduates from high school, he becomes an adult in the eyes of the law, thereby terminating your duty to pay child support. But there are many exceptions to the general rule. Emancipation When your child becomes emancipated, he becomes an adult in the eyes of the law. As the Children's Rights Council explains, emancipation, also known as the age of majority, enables a son or daughter to be freed from parental control and a parent to be freed of legal responsibility for the son or daughter. Often, emancipation will end the obligation to pay child support. But emancipation does not always take effect when your child graduates from high school. Divorce is never easy, but we can help.

"text": "\"The History of Education Edited By: Robert Guisepi Early Civilizations With the gradual rise of more complex civilizations in the river valleys of Egypt and Babylonia, knowledge became too complicated to transmit directly from person to person and from generation to generation. To be able to function in complex societies, man needed some way of accumulating, recording, and preserving his cultural heritage. So with the rise of trade, government, and formal religion came the invention of writing, by about 3100 BC. Because firsthand experience in everyday living could not teach such skills as writing and reading, a place devoted exclusively to learning--the school--appeared. And with the school appeared a group of adults specially designated as teachers--the scribes of the court and the priests of the temple. The children were either in the vast majority who continued to learn exclusively by an informal apprenticeship or the tiny minority who received formal schooling. The method of learning was memorization, and the motivation was the fear of harsh physical discipline. On an ancient Egyptian clay tablet discovered by archaeologists, a child had written: \"\"Thou didst beat me and knowledge entered my head. \"\" Of the ancient peoples of the Middle East, the Jews were the most insistent that all children--regardless of class--be educated. In the 1st century AD, the historian Flavius Josephus wrote: \"\"We take most pains of all with the instruction of the children and esteem the observance of the laws and the piety corresponding with them the most important affair of our whole life.\"\""

"text": "\"Massachusetts Child Support Guidelines Every child has the legal right to receive financial support from his or her parents, whether the parents are separated, divorced, or were never married. Child support is a parent’s court-ordered payment to help with the costs of raising a child. In Massachusetts, child support obligations normally last until the child turns 18 years old, but can continue until he or she turns 20 if the child is still in high school. How to Request Child Support in Massachusetts There are several ways a parent can receive child support. Parents can make an agreement and ask a judge to approve support order in a civil case such as a divorce or other family law proceedings. However, the majority of cases start by completing an \"\" Application for Full Child Support Services \"\" (PDF) and submitting it to the local Department of Revenue office (DOR). The DOR can help a parent locate the noncustodial parent, establish paternity for children born outside of marriage, establishment of support obligations, collection and distribution of support, and enforcement of support obligations.

"text": "Conduct Disorder Types Symptoms Causes Risk Factors Diagnosis Treatments Outlook What Is Conduct Disorder? Conduct disorder is a group of behavioral and emotional problems that usually begins during childhood or adolescence. Children and adolescents with the disorder have a difficult time following rules and behaving in a socially acceptable way. They may display aggressive, destructive, and deceitful behaviors that can violate the rights of others. Adults and other children may perceive them as “bad” or delinquent, rather than as having a mental illness. If your child has conduct disorder, they may appear tough and confident. In reality, however, children who have conduct disorder are often insecure and inaccurately believe that people are being aggressive or threatening toward them. Types Types of Conduct Disorder There are three types of conduct disorder. They’re categorized according to the age at which symptoms of the disorder first occur: Childhood onset occurs when the signs of conduct disorder appear before age 10. Adolescent onset occurs when the signs of conduct disorder appear during the teenage years."

"text": "Article Text Article info Citation Tools Share Responses Article metrics Alerts PDFReview Motor neurone disease K Talbot Author affiliations Abstract Motor neurone disease (MND), or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), is a neurodegenerative disorder of unknown aetiology. Progressive motor weakness and bulbar dysfunction lead to premature death, usually from respiratory failure. Confirming the diagnosis may initially be difficult until the full clinical features are manifest. For all forms of the disease there is a significant differential diagnosis to consider, including treatable conditions, and therefore specialist neurological opinion should always be sought. Clear genetic inheritance has been demonstrated in a minority of patients with familial ALS but elucidation of the biological basis of genetic subtypes is also providing important information which may lead to treatments for sporadic forms of the disease. In the absence of curative or disease modifying therapy, management is supportive and requires a multidisciplinary approach. If, as seems likely, complex inherited and environmental factors contribute to the pathogenesis of MND, future treatment may involve a combination of molecular based treatments or restoration of cellular integrity using stem cell grafts.http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/pmj.78.923.513Neurologists in the 19th century recognised that muscle weakness could be due to primary disorders of muscle or secondary to loss of neuromuscular integrity, as happens when peripheral nerves are cut or when motor neurones degenerate. Furthermore, it was observed that there are forms of motor neurone degeneration which selectively affect upper motor neurones or lower motor neurones. A combination of upper and lower motor neurone dysfunction was named amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) by Charcot and Joffroy. 1 In the USA, ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease are terms used to describe all forms of the disease, whatever the combination of upper and lower motor neurone involvement."

An eye care professional who examined the patient’s eyes and is familiar with his or her medical history is the best person to answer specific questions. Usher Syndrome Defined What is Usher syndrome? Usher syndrome is the most common condition that affects both hearing and vision. A syndrome is a disease or disorder that has more than one feature or symptom. The major symptoms of Usher syndrome are hearing loss and an eye disorder called retinitis pigmentosa, or RP. Retinitis pigmentosa causes night-blindness and a loss of peripheral vision (side vision) through the progressive degeneration of the retina. The retina is a light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye and is crucial for vision. As retinitis pigmentosa progresses, the field of vision narrows, a condition known as “tunnel vision,” until only central vision (the ability to see straight ahead) remains. Many people with Usher syndrome also have severe balance problems."

Principle The CPS is committed to ensuring that the special considerations which apply to cases involving a young offender are enshrined in its working practices and form part of the training of its prosecutors. The key considerations governing the decisions made by Crown Prosecutors in dealing with youths are those contained in: Section 44 of the Children And Young Persons Act 1933 (Archbold 5-232), which requires the courts to have regard to the welfare of a young person;Section 37 of the Crime And Disorder Act 1998 (Archbold 5-231), which requires the principal aim of agencies involved in the youth justice system to be the prevention of offending by young persons; and The Code for Crown Prosecutors, which states that Crown Prosecutors must consider the interests of a youth, amongst other public interest factors, when deciding whether a prosecution is needed. The Crown Prosecution Service recognises that in applying these considerations Crown Prosecutors will have regard to their obligations arising from the European Convention of Human Rights, the United Nations 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child and the United Nations 1985 Standard Minimum Rules for the Administration of Juvenile Justice (the Beijing Rules). Youth specialist prosecutors will have attended the youth offender specialist training course and read all its accompanying materials, which detail practice and procedure in cases involving youth suspects and offenders. Guidance Criminal Justice System The CPS is one of several agencies involved within the CJS that deals with youths. Effective partnerships within the criminal justice system will contribute to securing real improvements in the youth justice system and will help to give effect to Government policy. Such partnerships require mutual cooperation and understanding. All Areas are encouraged to participate in local inter-agency groups with representatives from the Youth and Crown Courts, Youth Offending Team managers, police, CPS, appropriate defence representatives and Victim Support Service co-ordinators. These groups should be responsible for the implementation of youth justice initiatives."

Share Email Print Feedback Practice Essentials The sinoatrial (SA) node is innervated by the parasympathetic and the sympathetic nervous systems; the balance between these systems controls the pacemaker rate. Parasympathetic input via the vagus nerves decreases the SA nodal pacemaker and is the dominant input at rest, wheras sympathetic nerve input, as well as the adrenal medullary release of catecholamines, increases the sinus rate during exercise and stress. Sinus node dysfunction (SND) is often secondary to senescence of the SA node and surrounding atrial myocardium. Medications may also contribute to, and can often unmask, subclinical SA dysfunction. The epidemiology of SND is difficult to study, but patients with symptomatic SND are generally older (in the seventh or eighth decade of life) with frequent comorbid diseases. SND occurs as a result of disorders in automaticity, conduction, or both. SN fibrosis is the most common cause of SND. The natural history of SND typically involves intermittent but progressive cardiac rhythm disorders, which have been associated with higher rates of other cardiovascular events and higher mortality. There is a tendency for the rhythm disturbances associated with SND to evolve over time, along with a higher likelihood of thromboembolic events and other cardiovascular events. The treatment of sinus bradycardia and pauses starts with investigating/identifying any reversible causes, of which the most common are medications."

Low-toned muscles contract very slowly in response to a stimulus and cannot maintain a contraction for as long as a normal muscle. Hypotonia is a symptom that can be caused by many different conditions. Description Hypotonia, also called floppy infant syndrome or infantile hypotonia, is a condition of decreased muscle tone. The low muscle tone can be caused by a variety of conditions and is often indicative of the presence of an underlying central nervous system disorder, genetic disorder, or muscle disorder. Muscle tone is the amount of tension or resistance to movement in a muscle. It is not the same as muscle weakness, which is a reduction in the strength of a muscle, but it can co-exist with muscle weakness. Muscle tone indicates the ability of a muscle to respond to a stretch. For example, if the flexed arm of a child with normal tone is quickly straightened, the flexor muscle of the arm (biceps) will quickly contract in response. Once the stimulus is removed, the muscle then relaxes and returns to its normal resting state."

"text": "\"Conduct Disorder Symptoms By Steve Bressert, Ph. D. ~ 2 min read The essential feature of conduct disorder is a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior by a child or teenager in which the basic rights of others or major age-appropriate societal norms or rules are violated. These behaviors fall into four main groupings: aggressive conduct that causes or threatens physical harm to other people or animals, nonaggressive conduct that causes property loss or damage, deceitfulness or theft, and serious violations of rules time and time again. Specific Symptoms of Conduct Disorder Conduct disorder is characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior in which the basic rights of others or major age-appropriate societal norms or rules are violated, as manifested by the presence of three (or more) of the following criteria in the past 12 months, with at least one criterion present in the past 6 months: Aggression to people and animalsoften bullies, threatens, or intimidates othersoften initiates physical fightshas used a weapon that can cause serious physical harm to others (e.g., a bat, brick, broken bottle, knife, gun)has been physically cruel to peoplehas been physically cruel to animalshas stolen while confronting a victim (e.g., mugging, purse snatching, extortion, armed robbery)has forced someone into sexual activity Destruction of propertyhas deliberately engaged in fire setting with the intention of causing serious damagehas deliberately destroyed others’ property (other than by fire setting)Deceitfulness or thefthas broken into someone else’s house, building, or caroften lies to obtain goods or favors or to avoid obligations (i.e., “cons” others)has stolen items of nontrivial value without confronting a victim (e.g., shoplifting, but without breaking and entering; forgery)Serious violations of rulesoften stays out at night despite parental prohibitions, beginning before age 13 yearshas run away from home overnight at least twice while living in parental or parental surrogate home (or once without returning for a lengthy period)is often truant from school, beginning before age 13 years The disturbance in behavior causes clinically significant impairment in social, academic, or occupational functioning. If the individual is age 18 years or older, criteria are not met for antisocial personality disorder. Two subtypes of conduct disorder are provided based on the age at onset of the disorder (i.e., childhood -onset type and adolescent-onset type). The subtypes differ in regard to the characteristic nature of the presenting conduct problems, developmental course and prognosis, and gender ratio. Both subtypes can occur in a mild, moderate, or severe form. In assessing the age at onset, information should preferably be obtained from the youth and from caregiver (s). Because many of the behaviors may be concealed, caregivers may underreport symptoms and overestimate the age at onset."

Hudson Alpha Institute for Biotechnology Mental disorders, in particular their consequences and their treatment, are of more concern and receive more attention now than in the past. Mental disorders have become a more prominent subject of attention for several reasons. They have always been common, but, with the eradication or successful treatment of many of the serious physical illnesses that formerly afflicted humans, mental illness has become a more noticeable cause of suffering and accounts for a higher proportion of those disabled by disease. Moreover, the public has come to expect the medical and mental health professions to help it obtain an improved quality of life in its mental as well as physical functioning. And indeed, there has been a proliferation of both pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatments. The transfer of many psychiatric patients, some still showing conspicuous symptoms, from mental hospitals into the community has also increased the public’s awareness of the importance and prevalence of mental illness. There is no simple definition of mental disorder that is universally satisfactory. This is partly because mental states or behaviour that are viewed as abnormal in one culture may be regarded as normal or acceptable in another, and in any case it is difficult to draw a line clearly demarcating healthy from abnormal mental functioning. A narrow definition of mental illness would insist upon the presence of organic disease of the brain, either structural or biochemical."

Synonyms of Werner Syndrome Atypical Werner Syndrome Progeria of Adulthood WNSWSSubdivisions of Werner Syndrome No subdivisions found General Discussion Werner Syndrome is a rare progressive disorder that is characterized by the appearance of unusually accelerated aging (progeria). Although the disorder is typically recognized by the third or fourth decades of life, certain characteristic findings are present beginning during adolescence and early adulthood. Individuals with Werner Syndrome have an abnormally slow growth rate, and there is cessation of growth at puberty. As a result, affected individuals have short stature and low weight relative to height. By age 25, those with the disorder typically experience early graying (canities) and premature loss of scalp hair (alopecia). As the disease progresses, additional abnormalities include loss of the layer of fat beneath the skin (subcutaneous adipose tissue); severe wasting (atrophy) of muscle tissue in certain areas of the body; and degenerative skin changes, particularly in the facial area, the upper arms and hands, and the lower legs and feet (distal extremities). Due to degenerative changes affecting the facial area, individuals with Werner Syndrome may have unusually prominent eyes, a beaked or pinched nose, and/or other characteristic facial abnormalities. Werner Syndrome may also be characterized by development of a distinctive high-pitched voice; eye abnormalities, including premature clouding of the lenses of the eyes (bilateral senile cataracts); and certain endocrine defects, such as impaired functioning of the ovaries in females or testes in males (hypogonadism) or abnormal production of the hormone insulin by the pancreas and resistance to the effects of insulin (non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus)."

A sample of the amniotic fluid, which surrounds a fetus in the womb, is collected through a pregnant woman's abdomen using a needle and syringe. Tests performed on fetal cells found in the amniotic fluid can reveal the presence of many types of genetic disorders. Early diagnosis allows doctors and prospective parents to make important decisions about treatment and intervention prior to birth. Purpose Since the mid-1970s, amniocentesis has been used routinely to test for Down syndrome, by far the most common, nonhereditary, genetic birth defect, afflicting about one in every 1,000 babies. By 1997, approximately 800 different diagnostic tests were available, most of them for hereditary genetic disorders such as Tay-Sachs disease, sickle cell disease, hemophilia, muscular dystrophy, and cystic fibrosis. Amniocentesis, often called amnio, is recommended for women who will be older than 35 on their due-date. It is also recommended for women who have already borne children with birth defects, or when either of the parents has a family history of a birth defect for which a diagnostic test is available. Another reason for the procedure is to confirm indications of Down syndrome and certain other defects that may have shown up previously during routine maternal blood screening. The risk of bearing a child with a nonhereditary genetic defect such as Down syndrome is directly related to a woman's age—the older the woman, the greater the risk."

Researchers, comparing the behavior of the siblings of children diagnosed with autism to that of babies developing normally, conducted the study over five years by painstakingly counting each instance of smiling, babbling, and eye contact during examinations until the children were 3. They found that by 12 months the two groups’ development had diverged significantly. Intentional social and communicative behavior among children developing normally increased while among infants later diagnosed with autism it decreased dramatically. The study is published online early and will appear in the March issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. “This study provides an answer to when the first behavioral signs of autism become evident,” says Sally Ozonoff, the study’s lead author, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of California, Davis. “"

Criminal harassment often consists of repeated conduct that is carried out over a period of time and that causes its targets to reasonably fear for their safety but does not necessarily result in physical injury. It may be a precursor to subsequent violent and/or lethal acts.

Bipolar disorder Definition Bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic depression, is a mood disorder that causes radicalemotional changes and mood swings, from manic, restless highs to depressive, listless lows. Mostbipolar individuals experience alternating episodes of mania and depression. 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. These episodes may be separated by periods of emotional stability in which the individual functions normally. 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. Usually this manic period is followed by a period of severe depression, although a few individuals may not experience a majordepressive episode."

Obviously, the manifestation of ADHD symptoms differs across the lifespan. ADHD affects young children far differently than it does adults and the impact of symptoms, resulting impairment and methods of treatment vary by age and level of development. This section looks at ADHD at different stages of development: infants, toddlers and preschoolers; middle childhood; adolescence; and adulthood. Infants, Toddlers and Preschoolers Although about ten percent of infants appear to have difficult temperaments characterized by irritability, hyperarousal, overactivity and inability to be easily calmed, clinicians do not diagnose ADHD in infancy. However, the overactive, temperamental infant is at greater risk to become the hyperactive, difficult preschooler. It is customary for preschool age children to be overactive and impulsive from time to time. Their attention is captured by things that interest them, but usually for short periods of time. They shift quickly from one activity to another. We expect preschoolers to be somewhat demanding, impulsive or self-centered and generally we don’t get too upset when they get frustrated and have occasional temper tantrums or crying spells."

This option appears in one of those publications. The options are derived from many sources and reflect a range of possibilities.

Under current law, people are eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (DI) until they reach the full retirement age, which is currently 66 and is scheduled to increase gradually beginning in 2017 for those born in 1955 until it reaches 67 for workers born in 1960 or later. Workers who claim retirement benefits at age 62 rather than at their full retirement age receive lower benefits for as long as they live. In contrast, workers who at age 62 shift from being employed to receiving benefits from the DI program and who then move to Social Security’s retirement program at their full retirement age are not subject to a reduction. Instead, they receive approximately the same retirement benefits in each year that they would have received if they had enrolled directly in the retirement program at their full retirement age."

Will filing bankruptcy ruin my security clearance? →Does my income affect my child’s ability to qualify for Social Security Benefits? Posted On Saturday, August 20th, 2011Rating: 9.5/ 10 (95 votes cast)How much income can parents have before their children no longer qualify for Supplemental Security Income benefits? Disabled children can qualify for benefits under the Supplemental Security Income (“SSI”) program, which is administered by the Social Security Administration, depending: (1) on the nature of their disabilities; (2) on how much income they have (if any); and (3) on their available resources. Children’s “available resources” include the income (and assets) of their parents and guardians. Therefore, many parents and guardians of disabled children wonder how much income they can have before their children no longer qualify for SSI benefits. The Social Security Administration (“SSA”) defines a child as someone who is not married; is not head of a household; and is under age 18, or is under age 22 and regularly attending school. This discussion only applies to SSI benefits for disabled children, as the SSA defines the terms “disabled” and “children. ”1."

[ 1] The original Social Security Act was signed into law by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1935, [2] and the current version of the Act, as amended, [3] encompasses several social welfare and social insurance programs. Social Security is funded primarily through payroll taxes called Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax (FICA) or Self Employed Contributions Act Tax (SECA). Tax deposits are collected by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and are formally entrusted to the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund and the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund, the two Social Security Trust Funds. [ 4] [5] With a few exceptions, all salaried income, up to an amount specifically determined by law (see tax rate table below), is subject to the Social Security payroll tax. All income over said amount is not taxed. In 2018, the maximum amount of taxable earnings was $128,400. [ 6]With few exceptions, all legal residents working in the United States now have an individual Social Security number. Indeed, nearly all working (and many non-working) residents since Social Security's 1935 inception have had a Social Security number because it is requested by a wide range of businesses. In 2015, Social Security expenditures totaled $750.5 billion for OASDI and $146.6 billion for DI. ["

It outlines the kinds of evidence that the Social Security Administration (SSA) needs to determine disability for a child under the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. The SSI program can provide valuable monthly cash payments to children who are disabled under SSA rules and whose families have little income or resources. Determining whether a child is disabled under SSI regulations is a collaborative effort among Federal and State officials. We rely upon your professional expertise and judgment to help us. Your information is not the only information we consider when we determine if the child qualifies for SSI, but it is very important to us. We make our determination based on all of the medical, school, and other information that we get. We greatly appreciate your time, assistance, and support.

"text": "\"Unfit for Work The startling rise of disability in America By Chana Joffe-Walt In the past three decades, the number of Americans who are on disability has skyrocketed. The rise has come even as medical advances have allowed many more people to remain on the job, and new laws have banned workplace discrimination against the disabled. Every month, 14 million people now get a disability check from the government. The federal government spends more money each year on cash payments for disabled former workers than it spends on food stamps and welfare combined. Yet people relying on disability payments are often overlooked in discussions of the social safety net. The vast majority of people on federal disability do not work. [ 1] Yet because they are not technically part of the labor force, they are not counted among the unemployed. In other words, people on disability don't show up in any of the places we usually look to see how the economy is doing. But the story of these programs -- who goes on them, and why, and what happens after that -- is, to a large extent, the story of the U. S. economy. It's the story not only of an aging workforce, but also of a hidden, increasingly expensive safety net."

SSI is a program that pays monthly checks to the elderly, the blind and people with disabilities who don't own much or who don't have much income. If you get SSI, you usually get food stamps and Medicaid, too. Medicaid helps pay doctor and hospital bills.

"text": "\"Child Social Security Disability and SSI Disability Explained Three Ways A Child Can Get Benefits From Social Security Or SSIThere are three ways a child might be eligible for benefits from Social Security or SSI. The three kinds of benefits are: SSI Benefits For Children-- These are benefits payable to disabled children under age 18 who have limited income and resources, or who come from homes with limited income and resources. Social Security Dependents Benefits-- These are benefits payable to children under the age of 18 on the record of a parent who is collecting retirement or disability benefits from Social Security, or survivors benefits payable to children under the age of 18 on the record of a parent who has died. Although children under age 18 who are eligible for these benefits might be disabled, we do not need to consider their disability to qualify them for benefits. Note: A child can continue receiving dependents or survivors benefits until age 19 if he or she is a full-time student in elementary or high school. Social Security Benefits For Adults Disabled Since Childhood--Dependents benefits normally stop when a child reaches age 18 (or 19 if the child is a full-time student). However, those benefits can continue to be paid into adulthood if the child is disabled. To qualify for these benefits, an individual must be eligible as the child of someone who is getting Social Security retirement or disability benefits, or of someone who has died, and that child must have a disability that began prior to age 22. Although most of the people getting these benefits are in their 20s and 30s (and some even older), the benefit is considered a \"\"child's\"\" benefit because it is paid on the basis of a parent's Social Security earnings record. SSI Benefits For Children With Disabilities Non-Medical Rules SSI is a program that pays monthly benefits to people with low incomes and limited assets who are 65 or older, or blind, or disabled."

Then you must have a medical condition that meets Social Security's definition of disability. In general, we pay monthly cash benefits to people who are unable to work for a year or more because of a disability. Benefits usually continue until you are able to work again on a regular basis. There are also a number of special rules, called \"\"work incentives,\"\" that provide continued benefits and health care coverage to help you make the transition back to work. If you are receiving Social Security disability benefits when you reach full retirement age, your disability benefits automatically convert to retirement benefits, but the amount remains the same. How Much Work Do You Need? In addition to meeting our definition of disability, you must have worked long enough—and recently enough—under Social Security to qualify for disability benefits. Social Security work credits are based on your total yearly wages or self-employment income. You can earn up to four credits each year."

Screening tests are used to find cancer before a person has any symptoms. Breast cancer Women ages 40 to 44 should have the choice to start annual breast cancer screening with mammograms (x-rays of the breast) if they wish to do so. Women age 45 to 54 should get mammograms every year. Women 55 and older should switch to mammograms every 2 years, or can continue yearly screening. Screening should continue as long as a woman is in good health and is expected to live 10 more years or longer. All women should be familiar with the known benefits, limitations, and potential harms linked to breast cancer screening. Women should also know how their breasts normally look and feel and report any breast changes to a health care provider right away. Some women – because of their family history, a genetic tendency, or certain other factors – should be screened with MRIs along with mammograms.

D. Chief Medical Editor, Harvard Health Publishing The annual pelvic exam, an oft-dreaded part of preventive care for women, may become the as-needed pelvic exam, thanks to new guidelines from the American College of Physicians. As part of a pelvic exam, a doctor uses a tool called a speculum to look at the vagina and cervix. She or he also inserts two fingers in the vagina and places her or his other hand on the outside of the stomach. The exam lets the doctor examine the cervix, uterus, and both side of the lower abdomen where the ovaries and Fallopian tubes are located. For decades, doctors have believed this exam may detect problems like ovarian cancer or a bacterial infection even if a woman had no symptoms. And sometimes it does. But recently experts have questioned whether the yearly ritual adds value to a woman’s health. In the new guidelines, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, an expert panel appointed by the American College of Physicians recommends that healthy, low-risk women not have routine annual pelvic exams. The panel based this advice on a systematic review of prior studies. They not only found no benefit from the annual pelvic exam, they found that it often causes discomfort and distress."

"text": "(Published May 2013)Screening for HPV-Related Diseases Table of contents Previous Section Next Section Publication Information As stated by Saslow et al., “ The fundamental goal of cervical cancer screening is to prevent morbidity and mortality from cervical cancer. The optimal screening strategy will: Identify those cervical cancer precursors likely to progress to invasive cancer (maximizing the benefits of screening). Avoid the detection and unnecessary treatment of transient HPV infections and associated benign lesions ( minimizing the potential harm of screening).” 1Cytology showing low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) identifies many women who have very little risk for cervical cancer. In contrast, cytology showing HSIL is considered a screening success because it has identified a woman who is at high risk of invasive cancer, and treatment of a cervical cancer precursor may prevent cancer from developing. Positive HPV test results allow for risk stratification and identification of women who may have disease that was missed by the Pap test and women who are at a higher risk of developing neoplasia and cancer. Women with positive HPV test results require additional follow-up. HPV genotyping tests that show positivity for HPV16 or HPV18 allow for even further risk stratification by identifying the women who are at highest risk of developing CIN3 or greater. Status of cervical cancer guidelines: In March 2012, the American Cancer Society (ACS), the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP), and the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) released new screening guidelines for the prevention and early detection of cervical cancer."

Cervical Cancer Screening Guidelines from the ACS and ACOGBy Lisa Fayed | Reviewed by Doru Paul, MDUpdated August 09, 2017Share Pin Email Print A pap smear slide. Environment Images/UIG/Getty Images You likely have heard of the hype surrounding how often women need to undergo Pap smears. 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."

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. ["

But until recently, we were told we needed a pap annually, from the first time we opened our legs for a gynecology appointment in our teens or early 20s, until in our 60s. The awkward annual ritual of feet in stirrups followed by cervical scraping and probing fingers was believed to be a critical life-saving part of our all-important annual gynecology exams. In reality, for most of us, it wasn’t. And for many, more harm was done than good."

Leukemia is cancer of the blood and develops in the bone marrow. The bone marrow is the soft, spongy center of the long bones that produces the three major blood cells: white blood cells to fight infection; red blood cells that carry oxygen; and platelets that help with blood clotting and stop bleeding. When a child has leukemia, the bone marrow, for an unknown reason, begins to make white blood cells that do not mature correctly, but continue to reproduce themselves. Normal, healthy cells only reproduce when there is enough space for them to fit. The body can regulate the production of cells by sending signals when to stop. With leukemia, these cells do not respond to the signals to stop and reproduce, regardless of space available. These abnormal cells reproduce very quickly and do not function as healthy white blood cells to help fight infection. When the immature white blood cells, called blasts, begin to crowd out other healthy cells in the bone marrow, the child experiences the symptoms of leukemia (i.e., infections, anemia, bleeding). Who is affected by leukemia?"

Bone marrow produces blood cells. Leukemia can happen when there is a problem with the production of blood cells. It usually affects the leukocytes, or white blood cells. It is most likely to affect people over the age of 55 years, but it is also the most common cancer in those aged under 15 years. In the United States, 62,130 people are expected to receive a diagnosis of leukemia in 2017, and around 24,500 deaths will likely be due to this disease. Acute leukemia develops quickly and worsens rapidly, but chronic leukemia gets worse over time. Fast facts on leukemia Here are some key points about leukemia. More detail is in the main article.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a cancer that affects the white blood cells. These cells fight infection and help protect the body against disease. Patients with ALL have too many immature white blood cells in their bone marrow. These cells crowd out normal white blood cells. Without enough normal white blood cells, the body has a harder time fighting infections. ALL affects a type of white blood cell called lymphocytes, causing them to build up in the liver, spleen and lymph nodes. How common is acute lymphoblastic leukemia? ALL is the most common type of childhood cancer. It most often occurs in children ages 3 to 5 and affects slightly more boys than girls."

[ 1] Between 1975 and 2010, childhood cancer mortality decreased by more than 50%. For acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the 5-year survival rate increased over the same time from less than 20% to 68% for children younger than 15 years and from less than 20% to 57% for adolescents aged 15 to 19 years. [ 1]Characteristics of Myeloid Leukemias and Other Myeloid Malignancies in Children Approximately 20% of childhood leukemias are of myeloid origin and they represent a spectrum of hematopoietic malignancies. [ 2] The majority of myeloid leukemias are acute, and the remainder include chronic and/or subacute myeloproliferative disorders such as chronic myelogenous leukemia and juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia. Myelodysplastic syndromes occur much less frequently in children than in adults and almost invariably represent clonal, preleukemic conditions that may evolve from congenital marrow failure syndromes such as Fanconi anemia and Shwachman-Diamond syndrome. The general characteristics of myeloid leukemias and other myeloid malignancies are described below: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AML is defined as a clonal disorder caused by malignant transformation of a bone marrow–derived, self-renewing stem cell or progenitors, leading to accumulation of immature, nonfunctional myeloid cells. These events lead to increased accumulation in the bone marrow and other organs by these malignant myeloid cells. To be called acute, the bone marrow usually must include greater than 20% immature leukemic blasts, with some exceptions as noted in subsequent sections. ("

Fortunately, the progression can usually be blocked by tyrosine kinase therapy or allogeneic transplantation. The seemingly stereotypical march of progression involves changes in genetic instability and DNA repair, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis, and thus may serve as a unique model of cancer evolution and progression. Given that all treatments work much better in chronic-phase than advanced-phase disease, the clinical dilemma is predicting and detecting patients bound to evolve into advanced disease. This is especially important in the age of tyrosine kinase inhibition (TKI) therapy. The purpose of this review is to address the biology of blast crisis in the age of tyrosine kinase therapy, with an emphasis on what genes or pathways may be future targets of predictive assays or treatments of progression. The classic textbook description of the natural history of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a stereotypical progression from a relatively benign chronic phase through accelerated phase, and into fatal blast crisis. This relentless march can be diverted or aborted by curative (or near-curative) therapies such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors, transplantation, and in an occasional case, interferon. All treatments work far better in chronic phase than advanced disease (accelerated or blast phases)."

You also have some that circulate from your marrow into your blood. Bone marrow stem cells turn into red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets to help your body stay healthy. If your bone marrow is damaged or destroyed, it can no longer make normal blood cells. In a stem cell transplant, healthy stem cells are placed in your body through an IV to help your bone marrow start to work right. When the stem cells come from another person, it is called an allogeneic transplant. The donor may be a relative or a complete stranger. The important thing is that the donor's immune system markers are closely matched to yours. This is more likely when the donor is your brother or sister."

Leukemia is a cancer that is malignant. This means that it can spread to other parts of the body and destroy surrounding tissue. It is a cancer that affects the cells in the blood. Red and white blood cells and platelets are formed in the bone marrow. The white blood cells become unable to function normally and these abnormal cells reproduce at a fast rate. They start to overcrowd helpful healthy cells and an infection or anemia occurs and the immune system becomes unable to fight off infection. Myelogenous, lympocytic, chronic myelogenous and chronic lympcytic are the four different types of leukemia. All of these directly affect the white blood cells and platelets but some progress at a slower rate than others. The symptoms of these separate leukemia’s are different as well."

[ 1] This category is composed of three major myeloid disorders: chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML), and atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (a CML). Myeloid disease that shows features of both MDS and CMPD but does not meet the criteria for any of the three major MDS/MPN entities is designated as myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm, unclassifiable (MDS/MPN-UC). The French-American-British classification scheme for myeloid disorders did not contain this overlap category, which made the classification of CMML particularly difficult. [ 2, 3] Recognizing the special diagnostic challenge that these diseases represent, a group of pathologists and clinicians sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO) created the MDS/MPN category to provide a less restrictive view of myeloid disorders, which in some instances clearly overlap. [ 4] The WHO group proposed that the new MDS/MPN category would allow for more focused clinical and laboratory investigations of myeloid proliferation, abnormal proliferation, and dysplasia. [ 1]Incidence and Mortality The etiology of MDS/ MPN is not known. The incidence of MDS/MPN varies widely, ranging from approximately 3 per 100,000 individuals older than 60 years annually for CMML to as few as 0.13 per 100,000 children from birth to 14 years annually for JMML. [ 5] Reliable data concerning the incidence of a CML, a recently defined entity, are not available. The incidence of MDS/MPN-UC is unknown."

"text": "Print Page Email Page Medicare and Chronic Kidney Disease Medicare is a federally funded health insurance program for Americans over age 65 and people who have been deemed disabled. In 1972, people requiring dialysis became newly entitled to this health benefit. The law was amended in order to provide coverage to people who may have forgone treatment due to the high costs of dialysis treatment. Today, if you have chronic kidney disease (CKD) and need dialysis, you may be eligible for Medicare insurance. Medicare overview Medicare is health insurance for people who fit one of the following 3 categories: Age – 65 or older Disability – 100% disabled (deemed by Social Security Administration for 2 years)ESRD – any age person with end stage renal disease (ESRD)Medicare has the following parts: Part A (Hospital Insurance) – Covers all inpatient services Part B (Medical Insurance) – Covers all clinical outpatient services Part C (Medicare Advantage Plans) – Such as HMO or PPOPart D (Medicare prescription drug coverage) – Offered to anyone with Medicare Medicare drug plans are run by insurance companies and other private companies approved by Medicare. Age – If you get benefits from Social Security or the Railroad Retirement Board, you are automatically entitled to Medicare Part A and Part B starting the first day of the month you turn age 65. Your Medicare card will be mailed to you about 3 months before you turn 65. However if you’re still actively working you may not be required to obtain Medicare due to age. Disability – If you are under age 65 and disabled, and have been entitled to disability benefits under Social Security or the Railroad Retirement Board for 24 months, you are automatically allowed Medicare Part A and Part B on month 25 of disability benefit privilege. You will not need to do anything to enroll in Medicare."

"text": "\"Low: $700 Per Year High: $2,500+ Per Year E-mail Post Tweet Comments (2)Traditional government-run Medicare (Part A and Part B) doesn't pay for everything, so private insurance companies sell Medicare Supplement policies, also called Medigap plans, to bridge at least some of the \"\"gap\"\" between what Medicare covers and the actual cost of health care. Medigap policies cover the copayments, coinsurance fees and deductibles that Medicare requires each patient to pay, but only for medical services covered by Medicare. Medigap policies do not cover medical services not included under Medicare Part A and/or Part B. Medigap polices are only issued with traditional Medicare (Part A and Part B), and are not available with private Medicare Advantage plans. For an overview of all the Medicare options, see How Much Does Medicare Cost. Typical costs: There are 10 standardized Medigap plan categories that private insurance companies can offer. Each plan is identified by a letter -- A, B, C, and so on -- and Plan A is the most basic. All plans with the same letter name must provide exactly the same benefits -- so every Plan A must offer identical coverage regardless of the premium. Although the coverage is standardized by plan category, premium costs vary widely between insurance companies and even within the same insurance company by region. Premiums for Medigap plans might cost $300-$6,200 or more a year, depending on the insurance company, what's included under the plan and local rates. Search the Medicare Plan Finder tool [ 1] by zip code for Medigap plan availability and pricing in a specific area."

Dan Caplinger ( TMFGalagan)Apr 12, 2015 at 7:03AMThis article was updated on October 24, 2017, and was originally published on April 12, 2015. Tens of millions of Americans rely on Medicare to help cover the majority of their healthcare costs. Yet whether you're an older American thinking about retirement, or one of the many people who are eligible for Medicare for various medical reasons, it's important to know when Medicare starts so that you don't miss out on valuable benefits. Below, we'll take a look at the rules that talk about specific Medicare age eligibility, as well as the exception to those age-based Medicare guidelines. The magic Medicare age: 65The most common way that participants get Medicare coverage is when they turn 65. The initial enrollment period for Medicare begins three months before the month that contains your 65th birthday, and it continues for three months after that birthday. As a result, you have an initial seven-month period during which you can sign up for Medicare. Image source: Getty Images."

Medicare benefits are also available for younger people with some types of disabilities, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), and people with End-Stage Renal Disease (permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a transplant, sometimes called ESRD). People can get Medicare benefits either through Original Medicare or through a Medicare Advantage Plan. Medicare has four parts Medicare Part A is hospital insurance that covers medically necessary inpatient hospital stays, care in skilled nursing facilities, hospice care and some home health care. Medicare Part B is Medicare insurance that covers certain doctors’ services, durable medical equipment (i.e. wheelchairs), preventative care, outpatient services, lab tests and x-rays, and ambulance services. Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage) is a type of Medicare health plan that is offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare to provide Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical insurance) benefits under one plan."

Hospice providers with expertise in dementia can help families understand what to expect in the final stages of Alzheimer's and provide support throughout the end-of-life process. Hospice is a special way of caring for people who are terminally ill — and for providing support to their family. The primary purpose of hospice care is to manage pain and other symptoms during the last six months of life where treatments focus on comfort rather than curing the underlying disease. Hospice care is provided by a team of specially trained providers, including doctors, nurses, home health aides, social workers, counselors, clergy and volunteers. Family is often very involved in the care. Examples of the care hospice teams provide include: Medical care to alleviate symptoms and pain (including medications and medical equipment)Counseling about the emotional and spiritual impact of the end-of-life Respite care to allow caregivers relief Grief support for the family The majority of hospice care is provided at home or in a nursing facility. There are also some free-standing hospice facilities and hospice units within hospitals in certain parts of the country."

But there are also lots of changes in store for family caregivers. In particular, those of us in the \"\"sandwich generation,\"\" who care for both kids and aging family members, are finally getting some long-overdue relief. Here are the new benefits we can look forward to, in the order in which they'll become available.2010Temporary Early Retiree Reimbursement Program What it does: Makes it possible to retire early and keep your health insurance In the past, taking early retirement meant risking your health insurance status until Medicare eligibility starts at age 65. The new law creates a temporary early retiree reinsurance program that enables employers to keep early retirees -- those between 55 and 65 -- on company health insurance plans and be reimbursed by the Federal government for up to 80 percent of the cost. Spouses and dependents are also covered. It went into effect June 23, but payments are retroactive to the beginning of the plan year. So, if you've already incurred high health insurance costs, you and your employer can apply for reimbursement. The program is called \"\"temporary\"\" because it ends in 2014, when the health insurance reforms will be fully activated, making it easier for early retirees to get health insurance. Health insurance extension for young adults What it does: Keeps both sides of the sandwich insured Effective immediately, young adults up to the age of 26 can stay on their parents' health insurance policies even if they're no longer full-time students."

"text": "Medicare, one of the federal government’s largest programs, provides health care benefits primarily to elderly people. The usual age of eligibility for those benefits is 65, although certain people qualify for the program earlier. ( Medicare is available to people under age 65 who have been eligible for Social Security disability benefits for at least 24 months or who have end-stage renal disease.) Outlays for Medicare are projected to increase rapidly in coming decades because of the retirement of the baby-boom generation and because growth in per capita spending for health care is expected to continue to exceed growth in per capita gross domestic product over the long term. Moreover, increases in life expectancy mean that the average length of time that people are covered by Medicare has risen significantly since the program began in 1965. That trend, which increases the program’s costs, will almost certainly continue. In the course of preparing its forthcoming report on options for reducing the budget deficit, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) updated its analysis of an option to raise the eligibility age for Medicare from 65 to 67. The agency’s new estimate of the net budgetary savings from that option is much lower than its earlier estimates for proposals to raise Medicare’s eligibility age. This report describes CBO’s new estimate and the reasons for the change. What Policy Option Did CBO Analyze?"

As a result, much of what we are taught is the way things were and not the way things are. This phenomenon is nowhere better illustrated than in the case of Erikson’s Stages of Development in his lifespan theory. From the day I walked into my first casework class in social work school, I realized that the prevailing academic view of the lifespan after adolescence was out of sync with reality. Remember these last three life stages from Erikson’s 8 stages of development?6. intimacy vs. isolation, ages 21-40 (Adulthood Stage I)7. generativity vs. stagnation, ages 40-65 (Adulthood Stage II)8. ego integrity vs. despair, ages 65+ (Senior)When I look at this, my first reaction is “oh my, it looks like 65 is the end of life. ”As I age and I would now be considered a “senior”, I have come to realize that the stages along the lifespan are not fixed. No, rather it is a process that is ever-changing, fluid, and flexible."

Also, Plan G is historically more rate-stable than Plan F and other Medigap plans that are offered on a \"\"guaranteed issue\"\" basis. On average, people who have Plan G are healthier because companies are not required to issue them coverage under than plan if they are losing employer coverage or Advantage plan coverage.

"text": "\"1 Answer0votes The Affordable Care Act, widely known as Obamacare, is a set of laws intended to make healthcare available to people who either cannot afford health insurance or are not insurable under traditional health insurance procedures. Since being passed into law in 2010, the laws have been progressively taking effect, and will continue to do so for the next several years. To get an idea of what the laws will do, it will be necessary to look at the laws as individual processes.2010Coverage for young adults is expanded. Small businesses, which traditionally paid as much as 18% more than larger businesses for health insurance, will begin to receive tax credits to offset the costs of providing coverage to their employees. States begin to receive additional federal-matching funds to cover more low-income individuals and families under Medicaid. Prescription rebate checks sent out to 4 million seniors who had reached the gap in Medicare prescription drug coverage known as the doughnut hole. Acceptance of preexisting conditions begins. Compliance is mandatory by 2014. The new law invests resources and requires new screening procedures for healthcare providers to reduce fraud and waste in Medicare, Medicaid and CHIP. Up until the new insurance exchanges will make coverage plans more affordable for early retirees, employers will be required to continue to provide coverage to people who retire between the ages of 55 and 65, as well as their spouses and dependents."

By Gina Shaw From the Web MD Archives It’s a question many women wonder about, especially if you’re thinking about planning a family and your 20s are but a distant memory. How many more years of fertility might you have, and how much longer will it be before you start experiencing “the change?”Here's what does -- and does not influence the age at when a woman reaches menopause. The Top Factor There are a number of factors that affect a woman’s age at menopause, but one is more important than any other: the age her mother experienced menopause. “Menopause is strongly genetically linked, so you’re very likely to fall within a few years either way of the age your mother was at menopause,” says Nanette Santoro, MD, director of the division of reproductive endocrinology and infertility at the University of Colorado-Denver School of Medicine and a member of the board of directors of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine.

Some women reach menopause at an unusually early age -- before 45 or so -- with no known cause, which could be the result of an inherited issue or a one-time genetic mutation. “ These can be random events, but can also be passed on,\"\" says Howard Zacur, MD, Ph D, who directs the reproductive endocrinology and infertility division at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine."

By Fred Cicetti | November 11, 2009 04:23am ETMORECredit: stock.xchng Credit: stock.xchng This Week’s Question: When does menopause really begin? A woman reaches menopause when a year has passed since her last period. Menopause, like many of the changes in a woman’s body through her lifetime, is caused by changes in hormone levels. Menopausal transition, called “perimenopause,” is the time when a woman’s body is close to menopause. Periods may become irregular. A woman may start to feel hot flashes and night sweats. Perimenopause usually begins about 2 to 4 years before the last menstrual period. It ends when menopause begins. Postmenopause follows menopause and lasts the remainder of a woman’s life."

"text": "\"Menopause FAQs: When It Starts, How Long Does It Last? June 04, 2014Women are planners by nature, and most women who are getting anywhere near menopause are probably asking questions like: when does menopause start? How long does menopause last? These questions can be tough to answer in one fell swoop, but this post will help you better understand when you will start to see changes and how long the symptoms will last. The most commonly cited information gives the average age of menopause as 51, but variations to that average abound for a variety of reasons. Factors such as surgeries or hormonal changes can lead to early-onset menopause, and some women don't report symptoms until they are close to 60. When does menopause start? The duration of menopause is very hard to predict, as each woman's situation is vastly different. Women typically start experiencing hot flashes, mood swings, vaginal dryness and other menopause symptoms when they are going through perimenopause. This stage is generally considered part of the menopause period and can last anywhere from 10 months to four years as the ovaries gradually decrease in estrogen production."

"text": "\"What is post menopausal bleeding? Post menopausal bleeding occurs when a woman of menopausal age has had 12 months without a period (amenorrhoea) and then has unscheduled (i.e. without hormonal treatment intervention) vaginal bleed. It can be a very frightening and confusing experience, but few people realize how common post menopausal bleeding actually is; it affects as many as 30% of post menopausal women. Post menopausal bleeding can occur for a number of reasons, the most common of which is hormone replacement therapy. The supplemental hormones used in this kind of treatment stimulate the uterine lining in the same manner as would the natural hormones found in a healthy pre-menopausal female. The frequency and amount of bleeding will vary from woman to woman, but adjusting the dosage of the hormone replacement treatment is usually all that is required to alleviate the bleeding. There are many other reasons why a woman would experience post menopausal bleeding when not undergoing hormone replacement therapy. Around 90% of these cases will have no obvious cause, or prove to be caused by a minor problem, often not requiring treatment.

"text": "Menopause is simply the name given to the last menstrual period, but for most women it means much more than this. It is the cycle in a woman’s life when her ovaries stop producing eggs, when her periods begin to stop and when her hormone levels change. Menopause is something that typically happens between the ages of 47 and 53. It means hot flushes, no more periods, an end to a woman’s reproductive years – and is a natural part of her life, which for a women in her teens, 20s, 30s and early 40s, should be far in the future. Premature Ovarian Insufficiency Premature menopause, premature ovarian failure and/or premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) are terms that are generally used to describe the same condition, whatever the cause. The words are often used interchangeably, which can be confusing at first. There is no internationally agreed wording, however the newer term for the condition is premature ovarian insufficiency, which may describe it more accurately as the ovaries may not have irreversibly ‘failed’ and premature ovarian insufficiency has important differences from the ‘normal’ menopause which occurs at an average age of 51-52 in the UK. Age is the key factor, as early or premature menopause or POI is typically used to mean menopause that comes well before the average age of normal menopause — when you’re still in your teens, 20s, 30s, or early 40s. Early menopause is used to describe menopause before the age of 45 and POI when it occurs below the age of 40. Simply put, it means that the ovaries aren’t working properly."

By Angela on January 23, 2016 under PCOS Lifestyle, PCOS Treatment Leave a comment | Share post27Getty Until recently, the focus on PCOS has been during the childbearing years as PCOS has been primarily viewed as a reproductive disorder. Questions about what happens when women with PCOS age have remained elusive. For example, does the syndrome get worse and if so, how worse? Or, does PCOS get better after menopause? Could PCOS simply disappear altogether? We now have the answers to some of these questions as researchers are now exploring what happens when women with PCOS transition through menopause.

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.

Show your support A common question that is often asked concerning the menopause is; can I still go through the menopause if I’ve had a hysterectomy? Our menopause expert Eileen Durward explains the different between a complete and incomplete hysterectomy and how these can affect you during the menopause. An introduction to hysterectomies and menopause The menopause is the time in a woman’s life when the ovaries stop working. Levels of oestrogen and progesterone drop, her ovaries stop releasing eggs and she does not experience any more periods. The average age for these events to take place is 51 years but menopause can occur ‘normally’ anywhere between the ages of 45 and 55. A hysterectomy, the surgical procedure of removing the womb (or uterus), can cause a premature menopause. This depends on the type of operation performed. There are two main types of hysterectomy – total (complete) and sub-total (incomplete). If you have already gone through the menopause and need a hysterectomy, it is unlikely that you will experience any new or additional menopause symptoms as a result of surgery, no matter what type of hysterectomy is performed."

Michael Gambon was hired to replace Mr. Harris as Dumbledore in all the subsequent Harry Potter films. Ian Mc Kellan has played Gandalf in all of the Lord of the Rings films directed by Peter Jackson. As you can see, these are three separate actors. I believe that Ian Mc Kellan would also have been a superb choice for Dumbledore. Yet he chose wisely to be the only impression so far created for Gandalf. And one for which he was nominated for an Academy Award. Moreover, I had a difficult time cozying up to Michael Gambon. Richard Harris left an indelible impression upon me and I often wonder how he would have performed the Dumbledore character differently from Michael Gambon, had he been able to continue.68k Views · View Upvoters Related Questions More Answers Below If I like the Lord of the Rings movies, will I like the Harry Potter films?

She's not a prominent character, thus not making it a full-blown ethical debate. This image will help in the analysis of Vito's goodness: On one side we have the towering character of Vito Corleone who speaks of capitalism, hard-work, how all is he doing is out of necessity due to the government being crooks themselves. Using 'survival' argument of 'filling one's stomach'. He also makes some marvelous offers difficult to refuse. The reader is enamored by his charm. Gambling is after all not such a huge moral issue. And then slowly Puzo unveils what these offers were- involving bloodshed, killing- deciding who was worth living (Fannucci)."

The character first appeared in the series pilot, in which he deliberately sends himself to prison so as to break his elder brother, Lincoln Burrows ( Dominic Purcell ), out before his execution for a crime he did not commit. The storyline of the first season revolves around the two brothers and Michael's plan to help Lincoln escape his death sentence. Later seasons detail their life on the run and their quest for the truth behind Lincoln's imprisonment. As the principal character, Michael has been featured in every episode of the series. Although both Lincoln and Michael are the main protagonists of the series, Michael has been featured more extensively than Lincoln, especially in the first season and the third. Various flashbacks from subsequent episodes provide further insight into the relationship between Michael and his brother, and the reasons behind Michael's determination in helping Lincoln to escape his death sentence. In the episode flashbacks, the younger Michael is played by Dylan Minnette.

Composer Mitch Leigh, who died on March 16 at age 86 in New York City, was a Yale-educated advertising-jingle writer with a couple of short-lived theatrical productions to his credit when, in an unlikely twist of fate, he was hired to write the music for a musical play-within-a-play about 17th century novelist Miguel de Cervantes and his masterpiece Don Quixote. The producers intended for Leigh to work with the famous poet W. H. Auden, who’d been hired as the lyricist. But Auden’s work turned out to be so downbeat and caustic that he was replaced by another relative unknown, Joe Darion, who’d penned the words for a few Top 10 singles, such as Red Buttons’ 1953 comedy hit “ The Ho Ho Song .” >> Sign up for the AARP Health Newsletter Somehow, though, Leigh and Darion managed to create a song that resonated far and wide beyond the Broadway stage. (“ Nobody was more surprised than we were,” Darion, who died in 2001, once admitted to music historian Michael Whorf .) Over the years, the stirring pop standard has been covered by at least 80 different artists, including Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Robert Goulet, Perry Como, Cher, Jennifer Hudson, Tom Jones, Roberta Flack and Placido Domingo. “The Impossible Dream” became such a cultural touchstone, in fact, that scores of performers have adapted it to their own purposes.

[ 1]The gender pay gap in the United States is the ratio of female-to-male median or average (depending on the source) yearly earnings among full-time, year-round workers. The average woman's unadjusted annual salary has been cited as 78% [2] to 82% [3] of that of the average man's. However, after adjusting for choices made by male and female workers in college major, occupation, working hours, and parental leave, multiple studies find that pay rates between males and females varied by 5–6.6% or, females earning 94 cents to every dollar earned by their male counterparts. The remaining 6% of the gap has been speculated to originate from gender discrimination and a difference in ability and/or willingness to negotiate salaries. [ 4] [5] [6]The extent to which discrimination plays a role in explaining gender wage disparities is somewhat difficult to quantify, due to a number of potentially confounding variables. A 2010 research review by the majority staff of the United States Congress Joint Economic Committee reported that studies have consistently found unexplained pay differences even after controlling for measurable factors that are assumed to influence earnings – suggestive of unknown/unmeasurable contributing factors of which gender discrimination may be one.

Lucious is the main protagonist and anti-hero of the series. [ 1] Created by Lee Daniels and Danny Strong, Lucious is the founder and CEO of Empire Entertainment, a world-famous and renowned record company that he runs with his family. Realizing he will need a successor after he is diagnosed with ALS, Lucious pits his three sons—the college-educated executive Andre Lyon ( Trai Byers ), the talented and gay singer/songwriter Jamal ( Jussie Smollett) and youngest, rapper Hakeem ( Bryshere Y. Gray )—against one another. [ 2] The story parallels William Shakespeare 's King Lear and James Goldman 's The Lion in Winter. [ 3] [4]The company is preparing to go public on the NYSE. However, Lucious must contend with his ex-wife Cookie ( Taraji P. Henson) upon her release from prison as she demands her piece of the company. He also struggles with Jamal's sexuality and Hakeem's inability to step up to the plate and show maturity as an artist. At the same time, Lucious neglects Andre seemingly due to his lack of musical ability. Lucious and Cookie's love for each other further complicates his existing relationship with his head of A&R, Anika Calhoun ( Grace Gealey )."

"text": "Why Is The Economy So Bad? May 28, 2011 by Michael Snyder Millions of Americans have lost their homes, tens of millions of Americans can’t find a decent job and 44 million Americans are on food stamps. This is causing an increasing number of Americans to ask this question: “Why is the economy so bad?” There are some Americans that are old enough to remember the Great Depression, but the vast majority of us have never known hard times. All our lives we were told that America was the greatest economy on the planet and that we would always experience endless prosperity in this nation. That was easy to believe because even though we had a recession once in a while, things always bounced back and got even better than ever. But now something seems different. The current economic downturn began back in 2007 and yet here we are in 2011 and there seems to be no end in sight for this economic crisis. So what in the world is going on? Can anyone explain why the economy is so bad?"

Nearsightedness, or myopia, as it is medically termed, is a vision condition in which people can see close objects clearly, but objects farther away appear blurred. People with myopia can have difficulty clearly seeing a movie or TV screen or the whiteboard in school. Myopia occurs if the eyeball is too long or the cornea (the clear front cover of the eye) is too curved. As a result, the light entering the eye isn't focused correctly, and distant objects look blurred. Myopia affects nearly 30 percent of the U. S. population. While the exact cause of myopia is unknown, there is significant evidence that many people inherit myopia, or at least the tendency to develop myopia. If one or both parents are nearsighted, there is an increased chance their children will be nearsighted. Even though the tendency to develop myopia may be inherited, its actual development may be affected by how a person uses his or her eyes."

"text": "\"You are here: Home Eye health Eye Conditions Myopia and high degree myopia Myopia and high degree myopia Myopia, often known as \"\"being short sighted\"\", causes your vision to be blurry in the distance but clearer when looking at things up close. It’s a very common condition and for most people it can easily be dealt with using contact lenses or glasses, which will make your vision clear and crisp. How the eye works Light rays enter the front of our eye through the clear cornea and lens, which together bend the light so that it can focus sharply on the retina at the back of the eye. This gives us a clear, sharp image. The cornea focuses the light towards our retina, and the lens fine tunes the focussing of this light The retina is a delicate tissue that lines the inside of your eye and is made up of light sensitive cells. Your retina converts the light into electrical signals that travel along the optic nerve to our brain. The brain interprets these signals so we can “see” the world around us. The retina is supplied with blood by a delicate network of blood vessels on its surface and by a layer of blood vessels (the choroid) underneath the retina. Myopia For vision to be clear, light entering your eye needs to be focused accurately on your retina. Light entering your eye is first focused by the cornea and then fine focused by the lens."

Originally I had hoped to play Kittansett, Boston Golf Club and Old Sandwich, but as things go with this Top 100 quest my plans got turned on end and I made adjustments on the fly. Through a series of unexpected events and strokes of luck Myopia Hunt Club popped into the mix and I was afforded an opportunity to play this wonderful and historic club. Myopia Hunt Club is without question one of the more unusual names for a club. Myopia is the clinical name for nearsightedness and not exactly a word that one would think of when it comes to naming a club. Between Old Sandwich Golf Club and Myopia Hunt Club, Massachusetts must win the award for the most uniquely named golf clubs. As the story goes, the club was founded by nine young Harvard men in 1875 for the purpose of playing baseball. All of these nine gentlemen wore glasses which was probably unusual in the year 1875. One can only guess that they found a little humor in this detail and ran with the name Myopia. The name stuck and the club is known today as the Myopia Hunt Club."

Barbazetto, MD, New York City; Hideki Koizumi, MD, Kyoto, Japan; Lawrence A. Yannuzzi, MD, New York City Myopia is one of the most common ocular conditions worldwide and has an estimated prevalence of 30,358,000 in the United States (25.4 percent of the population age 40 or older). 1 While vision can be restored to 20/20 in most patients using glasses, contact lenses or refractive surgery, high or so called \"\"pathologic myopia,\"\" defined by a refractive error >-6 D and/or an axial length of >25.5 mm, remains a significant risk for vision loss. According to a recent study from Japan, pathologic myopia was the third leading cause of bilateral vision loss and the leading cause of monocular vision loss in that population. 2 The burden of myopia, however, is not limited to the Asian population; similar results were described by the Rotterdam Eye Study 3 and in an Israeli population-based study, which named pathologic myopia as one of the top three causes of blindness. 4In spite of the public-health impact, only moderate progress has been made when it comes to the understanding of underlying pathological mechanisms and treatment strategies. The number of recent publications confirms this impression: 39 publications are listed in Pub Med when searching for \"\"pathologic myopia\"\" in 2007 compared to 2,030 for \"\"age-related macular degeneration\"\" within the same year. This review will try to summarize the most recent insights and developments with regard to the natural course, imaging and treatment strategies of retinal complications. Visual Prognosis While the visual prognosis in patients with subfoveal, choroidal neovascularization secondary to pathologic myopia is usually poor, significant variations in outcomes have been reported. While a 1984 study described myopic CNV as a \"\"self-limited\"\" disease, 5 other reports were less optimistic in regard to functional preservation."

People refer to this condition as being nearsighted. Humans by nature are generally nearsighted with the greater population between -1.00 and -4.00 diopters. Diopter is the strength of prescription eyewear required. High Myopia is associated with prescriptions greater than -8.00 diopter and can go as high as -35.00 diopter. The higher prescriptions types of myopia are many times associated with axial length myopia, a condition whereby the back of the eye is much further from the cornea than normal making the eye very nearsighted. Correction of High Myopia with Eyeglasses Eyeglasses for High Myopia are still very important. Even though many high myopes wear contact lenses, eyeglasses are required before going to bed and upon waking. Making eyeglasses for High Myopia requires special skills and materials.

Because children and teens are likely to have changes in their refractive error as they grow, glasses or contact lenses are generally recommended for younger myopia patients. A prescription for corrective lenses can be easily changed as needed and there is a lower risk of damage or infection of the eye than with refractive surgery.

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.

It works by changing the shape of the cornea-the transparent part of the eye that covers the irisand the pupil. Purpose About 25-30% of all people in the world are nearsighted and need eyeglasses or contact lensesfor distance vision to be clear. For a number of reasons, some people don't like wearingcorrective lenses. Some feel unattractive in eyeglasses. Others worry about not being able to see without their glasses in an emergency, such as a house fire or a burglary. Both glasses andcontact lenses can be scratched, broken, or lost. In addition, contact lenses require special careand can irritate the eyes. Radial keratotomy was introduced in North America in 1978."

Manifest refractions (mean of 16 per subject) were obtained from 245 subjects starting in the first year, with 6–23 years of regular follow-up. Results showed that infantile astigmatism is associated with increased astigmatism and myopia during the school years. Two possible mechanisms underlying this association are discussed: (1) infantile astigmatism disrupts focusing mechanisms; and (2) ocular growth induces astigmatism and myopia. Previous article Next article Keywords Astigmatism Myopia Refraction Children1. Introduction While it is now established that astigmatism is more prevalent in infants and young children than in the adult population, percentages vary according to many factors, including the method of refraction, the criterion for significant astigmatism, and the children’s ethnicity (reviewed in Lyle, 1991 ). Longitudinal studies have shown that the early cylindrical error is greatly reduced or eliminated during the first two years of life ( Atkinson, Braddick & French, 1980; Gwiazda, Scheiman, Mohindra & Held, 1984; Gwiazda, Thorn, Bauer & Held, 1993a; Erhlich, Atkinson, Braddick, Bobier & Durden, 1995 ). Little is known, however, about the functional significance of this astigmatism, especially its role, if any, in emmetropization. Fulton, Hansen and Petersen (1982) have suggested that uncorrected astigmatism early in life could influence the development of myopia. One possibility is that early cylindrical blur might contribute a signal, which could either disrupt or aid emmetropization of spherical power."

"text": "What is Myopia? Print Email Save Image Credit: http://www.symptomlog.com Nearsightedness, also known as shortsightedness and is scientifically termed Myopia. People with nearsightedness can easily see all the objects which are near to them or are in close proximity but they have trouble seeing clearly the objects that are at far away distances. Sometimes these far objects may also seem blurry at the edges or cannot be visible at all. This is a very common impairment related to eyes and corrective treatments like using corrective lenses or even surgery can prove helpful. Blurred vision is necessarily caused by myopia and can be severe, moderate or even mild. Such people often squint or even frown while trying to concentrate while looking at long distance objects.

Purpose PRK, one of the first (and once the most popular) refractive surgeries, eliminates or reduces moderate nearsightedness (myopia), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism; it is most commonly used to treat myopia. Successfully treated PRK patients no longer require corrective lenses, and those who do still require correction, require much less. PRK is an elective, outpatient surgery , and people choose the treatment for different reasons. Some simply no longer want to wear eyeglasses for cosmetic reasons. Sports enthusiasts may find eyeglasses or contact lenses troublesome during physical activities. Others may experience pain or dryness while wearing contact lenses, or have corneal ulcers that make wearing contact lenses painful. Firefighters and police officers may have trouble seeing in emergency situations when their contact lenses get dry or their eyeglasses fog up. Demographics There is no such thing as a typical PRK patient. Because it is an elective surgery , patients come from every age group and income bracket."

The five-factor model of personality In the 1980s, the five-factor model of personality began to gain interest. All factors showed to have convergent validity across psychological instruments and observers (Mc Crae & John, 1992). Therefore, it seems that the five-factor model is essentially correct in its representation of personality traits. All personality traits within this model represent a continuum, meaning that people can score from 0 to 100 on one of the personality dimensions. Most people lie somewhere in the middle of the scale, and large deviations from this norm represent what we consider personality disorders (read more here ). This is a so-called normal distribution →One of the great advantages of having a common model of personality traits is that it provides a common language for psychologists from different traditions and a framework for organizing research. The factors are: 1. extraversion, 2. agreeableness, 3."

"text": "Hair is a defining character of mammals and an extension of human aesthetic sense. It is keratin filament that grows, and re-grows, from follicles that are scattered throughout our bodies. Numerous factors affect its formation, structural variation and overall health. However, few of them are androgens, genetics and nutrition. Since ancient times, the parallel connection between hair and our bodily aging process has intrigued thinkers. Science has solved many mysteries of hair growth, replenishment and change with age, but many remain yet confusing. Here, we briefly highlight the natural course of hair growth with human aging and death, discovering the causes of white hair, along with some tantalizing myths and preventive measures to keep hair damage-free and young at an old age. When does hair get old? There is no benchmark age for hair to turn white. Hair color is drastically affected by bodily health status, ethnic heritage, diseased conditions, hormones and stress."

"text": "Mood Stabilizing Medication What are mood stabilizers? Mood stabilizers are medicines used in the treatment of bipolar disorder, where a person’s mood changes from a depressed feeling to a high “manic” feeling, or vice versa. These drugs can help reduce mood swings and prevent manic and depressive episodes. Mood stabilizers can take up to several weeks to reach their full effect. Because of this, other psychiatric medications such as antipsychotics are often used in the early stages of treatment. Antipsychotics and antidepressants may also be used in combination with mood stabilizers as longer-term treatments for bipolar disorder. Medication is generally considered to be the cornerstone of treatment for bipolar disorder; however, combining medication with other therapy and support can help you to get and stay well. Forms of talk therapy that have been shown to help with bipolar disorder are interpersonal and social rhythm therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy and family-focused education about bipolar disorder. Other aids can include peer support, school and job counselling and housing and employment support. Eating a nutritious diet, exercising regularly and getting enough sleep are also important, as are minimizing your use of alcohol and caffeine, and avoiding street drugs."

In the infant and early toddler years, it is perfectly appropriate for a child to switch hands, as they are still learning about how to move their body and working on strengthening and coordinating their muscles. By about age 3, a child should be using one hand more consistently for activities. And by kindergarten, or age 5, a child should be using one hand for all fine motor tasks that require a hand dominance (i.e. holding a pencil, holding scissors, holding food utensils, etc).

Health professionals attribute cancer, diabetes and mental issues such as depression to deficiencies in fitness and well-being. While concentrating on exercise and diet can help people suffering from these diseases, you shouldn't wait until you develop an illness to begin a health and fitness routine. Recent studies have identified as many as 75% of adults as overweight or obese. Only about 26% of American adults participate in vigorous physical and/or leisure activities three or more times a week. Obese people have a 10–50% increase in premature deaths from all causes compared to individuals with a healthy body weight. The majority of these premature deaths are attributed to cardiovascular causes. However, diabetes rates are climbing in parallel with these obesity statistics. The five years between 1997 and 2002 saw a 27% increase in the number of diabetes cases. In addition, while diabetes is affecting more and more individuals, it is also affecting individuals at a younger age as well."

"text": "Defining Marriageby Christopher Wolfewithin Marriage July 16th, 2015It is important to hold up the truth about marriage for everyone to see. The first step of explaining, defending, and teaching marriage is defining it. Now that the Supreme Court has taken the decision about same-sex marriage out of the hands of the American people, those of us who believe in marriage have to think about the long-term effort to restore a true understanding of marriage in our nation. The first step is to clarify what marriage is so that we can explain it to others in a coherent way. Although there is no one way to do this, there are fundamental elements that are a necessary part of any definition. In this essay, I merely provide one definition of marriage. My goal here is not to “prove” that this is marriage (though I offer some thoughts on each condition), nor is it to engage in a refined academic analysis of the question. I simply want to offer a relatively succinct statement of what marriage is, so that ordinary people who want to defend marriage have a clear baseline from which to understand and respond to developments in our society. Ten Key Features of Marriage When we say we are “defining” marriage, we are not saying that we choose to view marriage as being such-and-such, that this is what we want marriage to be. Marriage is not a conventional arrangement that society defines for itself."

The combined effect of aging and various diseases associated with aging can explain the impaired balance and gait disorders that are frequently encountered in the elderly. The impact of these disorders in the elderly is two fold. On the one hand, these disorders are directly related to the loss of autonomy: a serious disturbance of the market may partially or totally put at stake the autonomy of the elderly, whether to go out and go shopping or for execution of actions of everyday life. On the other hand, they are behind the falls known severity in the elderly. They have an immediate impact with hospitalization, surgery and with secondary loss of autonomy, need to move into a retirement home, etc. In contrast, gait in the elderly are not necessarily definitive.

Recent literature including double-blinded placebo controlled trials has generally supported the utility of vestibular rehabilitation in a variety of conditions associated with dizziness. Nevertheless, except for a few situations (i.e. BPPV treatment), these interventions are not \"\"powerful\"\" -- in other words, the effect of the intervention is generally significant but small. We use the term \"\"therapy\"\" in a generic way -- these therapies are administeredby by physicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, technicians, and audiologists. There are also some nearly \"\"do-it-yourself\"\" protocols that have been tested by time (e.g. Cawthorne Cooksey )/ We think that a situation where there is an overseeing physician and a therapist, is optimal.

A good place to start is the color of your skin. Bloomberg News asked economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis a question: Would it be possible to calculate the odds of being a millionaire for anyone in the U. S., based on age, education and race? Having already done extensive work in this area, bank researchers William Emmons, Bryan Noeth and Lowell Ricketts agreed to help. Of these three demographic characteristics, race stuck out as especially dominant in determining a person’s net worth. Its power is illustrated by the stark contrasts it creates in individuals’ outcomes, and the effects are only magnified by race’s immutability. “It’s a false narrative to say race doesn’t matter in the United States,” said Emmons, a senior economic adviser at the St. Louis Fed. “ It demonstrably does in the results we keep coming upon."

Medication is generally considered to be the cornerstone of treatment for bipolar disorder; however, combining medication with other therapy and support can help you to get and stay well. Forms of talk therapy that have been shown to help with bipolar disorder are interpersonal and social rhythm therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy and family-focused education about bipolar disorder. Other aids can include peer support, school and job counselling and housing and employment support. Eating a nutritious diet, exercising regularly and getting enough sleep are also important, as are minimizing your use of alcohol and caffeine, and avoiding street drugs."

Currently no units are completed. Emergency medical responders can range from bystanders with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) certification to trained professional rescuers such as First Responders, EMT-Basics/Intermediates, Paramedics, Nurses, or Doctors. Usually the most important tool used by these people is their brain. In Alberta, Canada, an EMR is a trained EMS professional, as per the National Occupational Competency Profile (NOCP), equivalent to the EMT-B in the U. S. A. This is also true in British Columbia, Canada. The hierarchy of paramedics in the BC Ambulance Service is highest at the Critical Care Paramedic (CCP), followed by Advanced Life Support (ALS), the Infant Transport Team (ITT), Primary Care Paramedic (PCP), and finally Emergency Medical Responder (EMR). Preface [ edit]In general, Emergency Medical Responders are people such as police officer, firefighter or EMT that are trained to provide immediate pre hospital medical treatment to either a medical or trauma victim of accidents or disasters. EMR are not supposed to replace an EMT or Paramedic, EMR’s are only to provide enough care until the ambulance arrives. However, inn Canada, as per the NOCP of the Paramedic Association of Canada, an Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) is the first of four levels of paramedic training. The four levels are Emergency Medical Responder, Primary Care Paramedic, Advanced Care Paramedic, and Critical Care Paramedic (lowest level of training to highest level of training)."

For women we know it means a decline in fertility, a decline in hormones, primarily estrogen, and an increased chance of having genetic abnormalities. That’s exactly what happens to men. Exactly, except it was never really appreciated. As men get older, there’s a decline in fertility, a decline in testosterone, and the sperm from older men are associated with more genetic abnormalities in babies born from that sperm.

"text": "\"Live Science Health Low Sex Drive? Men's Age-Related Changes May Have Surprising Cause By Cari Nierenberg, Contributing writer | September 11, 2013 05:00pm ETMOREAging-related changes in men may be in part due to declining estrogen levels, a new study finds. Credit: Man with doctor photo via Shutterstock A decline in testosterone is often blamed for men's loss of muscle, energy and sex drive as they get older, but the culprit for some age-related changes may be a drop in men's levels of the female hormone estrogen, a new study suggests. Researchers found that declining levels of estrogen in men may play a role in the accumulation of body fat. Before this study, low levels of testosterone were thought to be responsible for both men's loss of muscle mass, and gain of body fat with aging. \"\" The function of estrogen in men has largely been ignored,\"\" said study researcher Dr. Joel Finkelstein, an endocrinologist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Until now, the study of the hormone in men has mainly been limited to the role of estrogen deficiency in bone loss, he said. \"\" Men make estrogen from testosterone, and women do, too,\"\" Finkelstein said. So when men age and testosterone levels naturally decline, men also experience a drop in levels of estrogen circulating in their blood. The new results suggest that when estrogen levels drop, men experience some of the same consequences that women do after menopause: They have more bone loss, their libido declines, and they gain more fat around their midsection.

For everyone, a better body means a better mind, and the desire for health and wellness is inherent in all people. Aging is a part of life that everyone has to deal with and sometimes, dependent on the lifestyle of an individual, the aging process can take a toll on the body and its basic functionality. Another factor of aging is the gradual decrease in the body’s secretion of growth hormone and testosterone (in both men and women); and both play a large part in the daily maintenance of cellular restoration. Testosterone and HGH therapy are methods for helping people achieve the goals of health and wellness by restoring the body’s cellular infrastructure, increasing metabolism in the cells so that they reproduce and rejuvenate nearly every bodily function. With testosterone and HGH therapy, lean muscle mass is restored, fat dissipates, memory can improve and become sharper, sexual drive is increased, and energy and stamina seem to become boundless. Aging no longer means having to slow down. One can live the life he or she lived at the age of 30 well into their 50’s or 60’s or longer!Is HGH and Testosterone Therapy The Same? The majority of people have heard of testosterone therapy, yet their knowledge is limited; the general thought process is that testosterone issues are primarily only dealt with in men, and only for issues regarding sexual activity and performance. This is only partly true."

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.

In males, testosterone is primarily produced in the testes. In females, it is primarily produced in the ovaries. Small amounts of the hormone are produced in the adrenal glands in both sexes. Structure and Physical Characteristics Testosterone is comprised of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The molecular weight of testosterone is 288.4 and the chemical name of the hormone is 17beta-Hydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one. It takes the form of solid crystals or crystalline powder and has a white or slightly creamy-white color. Functions Testosterone is the major sex hormone in males and plays a number of important roles, such as: The development of the penis and testes The deepening of the voice during puberty The appearance of facial and pubic hair starting at puberty; later in life, it may play a role in balding Muscle size and strength Bone growth and strength Sex drive (libido)Sperm production The earliest function of testosterone is to direct prenatal development. Male fetuses start producing testosterone early in gestation; it's made by the testes, and circulates throughout the body."

By William Wong ND, Ph D, Member World Sports Medicine Hall of Fame A pot bellied, thin armed balding man with a slight erectile dysfunction looks to his wife proudly and proclaims “My doctor says I’m losing my hair because I have too much testosterone.” Ah, pride cometh before the fall! Look at your usual specimen of balding male; honestly does the average balding male look like he has too much testosterone floating 'round his body? Does he have: Good musculature, tight waist, great sexual function, consistently good erection size, good moods, no depression, great mental drive? Vin Diesel might still have all or most of these attributes but he would be one of the few balding men I can think of that does. In most guys loosing hair comes along with an increase in the hormone Di Hydro Testosterone, the swollen prostate, prostate cancer and hair loss hormone. And, sorry to tell you guys, DHT is not really testosterone despite its name and being classified as an androgen (male hormone)! In vivo (in live people not in a test tube or on paper), DHT is mostly made from estrogen. And, estrogen levels in the body have to increase before DHT levels get critical enough to cost you your hair."

Indeed, it does play a large role in male sexuality and reproduction, impacting such factors as sexual and reproductive function, muscle mass, and hair growth, but also has some less \"\"flashy,\"\" albeit equally important, roles like maintaining bone density, levels of red blood cells and a sense of well-being. Beginning around age 30, a man's testosterone levels begin to decline, and continue to do so as he ages. A wide range of chemical exposures included prescribed drugs like statins, adversely impact testosterone production in men. At the same time, estrogen levels typically increase due to widespread exposures to estrogen-mimicking compounds in food, water and environmental pollutants. What are Your Options for Replacement? If you're a man who's experiencing symptoms such as decreased sex drive, erectile dysfunction, depressed mood, and difficulties with concentration and memory, and you think low testosterone may be to blame, you can have your levels tested. Since testosterone levels fluctuate throughout the day, you'll probably need more than a blood test to get a true picture of your levels. If your levels are indeed low, there are a number of synthetic and bioidentical testosterone products on the market, as well as DHEA, which is the most abundant androgen precursor prohormone in the human body, meaning that it is the largest raw material your body uses to produce other vital hormones, including testosterone in men and estrogen in women. I only recommend using bioidentical hormones, and only then under the guidance of a holistic doctor who can monitor your hormone levels to ensure you need supplementation."

There are no limits, either in age or number, to the amount of sperm produced in a lifetime. Despite being forever fertile, male fertility does decline with age. The exact age depends on the man, but there are some universal changes in male sperm to consider. The Young and Vibrant Sperm Prior to 35, male sperm is young and vibrant. Testosterone levels are normal and everything is in perfect working order. After 35, things start to change and while fertility is not an issue for all men in the later years of life, offspring health is a huge consideration. The Male/Female Synergistic Effect If the female in the relationship is under 35 and the male is older than 35, mom protects the offspring against increased risk of Down syndrome. However, once mom ages beyond 35, her eggs are older as well and older eggs increase the risk of Down syndrome thus the two aging bodies work together to increase the overall risk of Down syndrome dramatically. Other Age/Sperm Related Medical Conditions Studies have shown a dramatic increase in autism, schizophrenia, dwarfism and other rare medical conditions with advanced paternal age."

As detailed in the table below, the reduced production of estrogen beginning in perimenopause can affect your sexual function directly, such as through vaginal dryness. It can also do so indirectly, in the form of hot flashes and night sweats, which can drain your energy and undermine your desire for sex as a result. These effects are discussed in detail in the “Causes of Sexual Problems” section of this program. Progesterone and testosterone."

"text": "Overview Testosterone is a hormone found in humans. Men have much higher levels of testosterone than women. Production increases during puberty and starts to decrease after age 30. For each year over age 30, the level of testosterone in men starts to slowly dip at a rate of around 1 percent per year. A decrease in testosterone level is a natural result of aging. What does this natural hormonal decrease really mean? What symptoms or side effects accompany a loss of the male hormone? Testosterone helps maintain a number of important bodily functions in men, including:sex drivesperm productionmuscle mass/strengthfat distributionbone densityred blood cell production Because testosterone affects so many functions, its decrease can bring about significant physical and emotional changes.9 Warning Signs of Low Testosterone »Sexual function Sexual function One of the biggest worries faced by men with declining testosterone levels is the chance that their sexual desire and performance will be affected. As men age, they can experience a number of symptoms related to sexual function that may be a result of lowered levels of this hormone. These include:reduced desire for sexfewer erections that happen spontaneously, such as during sleepinfertility Erectile dysfunction (ED) is not commonly caused by insufficient testosterone production."

Flag What is the average age that a baby starts walking? Answer by Adrienne Love Confidence votes 21.2KThe average age would be somewhere around 12 months. But average for babies across the world has nothing to do with it. What matters is what is average for your baby. You have babies that are pulling up as early as 5 months and walking as early as 7 months, or even earlier. You have babies that began pulling up earlier than you thought he or she would, but refuse to take that first real step until they are 14 months old. Does your baby enjoy his or her independence or are very active, and did he or she begin scooting or crawling early? Chances are, your baby will start walking earlier than \"\"average also.\"\" Or does your baby enjoy taking it easy, playing with toys that are in reach more than chasing after an out-of-reach toy, or content staying within one general area (not begging to be picked up and transported from one area to another much)?"

Answered Sep 18, 2017 · Author has 300 answers and 71.9k answer views I love this question. The answer is 28 seconds. I’ll explain. First, we have to define what an “average person” is. For the sake of this discussion, I will say that we are talking about all people, regardless of age, who have the ability to walk 100 meters without stopping and without any aids (walkers, canes, crutches, etc.). If we assume a standard adult walking speed is 2.5 miles per hour or 4.0 km per hour, which is 1.11 m/s, the standard walker would complete 100 meters in 90.1 seconds. I’m 56 years old and, according to the Body Mass Index charts, am borderline obese (6′1″ and around 228 pounds/103 kg). I can run 100 meters in just under 18.5 seconds."

The sexy nurse in a short skirt seems to be an icon in popular culture. I really have no idea where that image came from, though. Over the past two years, I visited my mother in the hospital many times. I noticed that the majority of nurses, maybe 80% or so, were quite overweight; not just chunky, but obese. Nurses are on their feet all day, lifting and moving people, walking from room to room and corridor to corridor, and likely burning far more calories than most of us in a typical workday. Why then, are so many grossly overweight?

This seems to be true across a broad spectrum of professions including medicine, law enforcement and corrections work, and special education, among others. It seems reasonable to me that this could be strongly correlated with a tendency to overeat, the overeating being either a compensatory mechanism or a result of simple apathy concerning one’s appearance."

I'd like this movie, I would, if I saw it\"\"Share Flipboard Email Print Warner Bros.by Rebecca Murray and Fred Topel Updated March 07, 20172002's A Walk to Remember might be over a decade old, but the film is considered a teen romantic drama classic even by young people who were too little to actually see it in theaters. Based on the 1999 novel by The Notebook author Nicolas Sparks, the movie stars singer Mandy Moore as Jamie Sullivan, a naive and plain-dressing teenager who becomes the target of the affections of aimless Landon Carter ( Shane West ), a teenager who once thought very little of throughout their years growing up together as Landon learns that there is more to Jamie than he ever thought or expected. About.com interviewed West, who at the time of the release of A Walk to Remember was also starring on the TV series Once and Again. Is it hard to make the transition from your character on television to the kind of character you play in this film? Actually, for me, Eli, the character I play in Once and Again on television, is kind of similar to and has some similar troubles going on as Landon does in this film. Also, for a lot of people, I think that if you're doing a sitcom, or a half-hour sitcom, it could be difficult to make that jump but Once and Again is an hour drama and it's shot on film. For me, it's more or less a training ground. It's kind of good practice. Which character are you more like—Eli or Landon?"

Redd, it takes a few days for personalized to get a good number, but it is unlikely that sedentary would give you a higher allowance than personalized. Personalized takes your average fitbit estimated calorie burn for the past few days as your starting point then subtracts whatever deficit you asked for in your settings. My fitbit allowance usually starts between 1200-1500 depending how active I was the previous few days. This is pretty in line with my Spark allowance. With either the sedentary or personalized setting, the calorie allowance should update throughout the day according to your actual activity level. The sedentary starts very low for me so I don't use it, that is because it is subtracting 500 calories from what I would burn if I were completely sedentary--and that would be too low an allowance at my stats. If you have been using fitbit for a while and are getting such low allowances on personalized, it sounds like you are set for too fast a rate of loss for your body. The options are .5 pound a week, 1 pound a week, 1.5 pounds a week and 2 pounds a week. A lot of people will set theirs for a 2 pound a week loss then post how they have a very low allowance."

The spaces between the bones that remain open in babies and young children are called fontanelles. Sometimes, they are called soft spots. These spaces are a part of normal development. The cranial bones remain separate for about 12 to 18 months. They then grow together as part of normal growth. They stay connected throughout adulthood. Two fontanelles usually are present on a newborn's skull: On the top of the middle head, just forward of center (anterior fontanelle)In the back of the middle of the head (posterior fontanelle)The posterior fontanelle usually closes by age 1 or 2 months. It may already be closed at birth."

Where Is the Brain Located? Credit: Monashee Alonso Caiaimage Getty Images Full Answer By the time an infant reaches 19 months of age, all fontanels should have ossified. Babies have two fontanels: the anterior and the posterior. The posterior fontanel closes within the first few months of life, while the anterior one closes much later. If the fontanels close too early, the baby's brain cannot grow in that direction and will grow in another direction, causing misshaping of the head."

"text": "Editor’s note: Having just submitted a major grant on Friday and then having had to turn around and head to an NIH study section meeting today in Bethesda, I just didn’t have the time to produce something up to the usual standards of SBM for today. ( And, being managing editor, I should know what’s up to the usual standards of SBM; what I started to write wasn’t it. Trust me on this.) Fortunately, Dr. Grant Ritchey and Dr. Steve Hendry, two skeptical, science-based dentists, did submit something up to SBM ’s usual standards. Even better, since we’ve been having a number of requests for posts involving dentistry, it seemed like a perfect time to publish their first contribution to SBM and see how our readers like it. Maybe next time around, I’ll have them update the “state of knowledge” regarding amalgams. Form follows function, as the old saying goes. Nowhere in the human body is this adage more fitting than in the oral cavity. In less than two generations, the practice of dentistry has evolved from basic pain relief and function-based procedures (such as extractions and fillings), into today’s practices of complex cosmetic rehabilitation, orthopedic and orthodontic management of the teeth, jaws, and facial structures, replacing missing teeth with dental implants, and treatment of sleep apnea and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, to name but a few. With such rapid progress, it is to be expected that for every science based advance made in our field, there are just as many claims that are either dubious in their evidential support or outright pseudo-scientific or anti-scientific nonsense."

"text": "19 Apr Explanation of Fetal Positions; Part 2Posted at 12:07h in Uncategorized by Deb 1 Comment 4 Likes Share Why are some labors long and others quick? One main factor can be the position of the baby at the onset of labor. The ideal position would be with the baby’s back facing the mother’s abdomen, occiput anterior (OA), with the chin tucked in towards its chest. There are, of course, variations of this position. The baby could have its back slightly to the right -ROA (right occiput anterior) or slightly to the left -LOA (left occiput anterior). Other fetal position variations are: OT- Occiput Transverse- the baby’s back is to the mother’s side OP-Occiput Posterior, the baby’s back is towards the mother’s back ROP- Right Occiput Posterior- the baby’s back is towards the right side of the mother’s back LOP- Left occiput posterior – the baby’s back is towards the left side of the mother’s back Any of the OA positions are considered the easiest of fetal positions to facilitate labor progress because when the baby is in an OA position, the smallest part of the baby’s head, the fontanel, is pressing against the mother’s cervix. This pressing causes the cervix to dilate. Since it is the smallest part and molds easily, it is a better fit to push the cervix open. Think about when you put on a turtle neck sweater (the cervix being the turtle neck); if you tuck your chin, the sweater slides over your head easily. If you are looking up towards the opening of the sweater, it is more challenging to slide over your face."

"text": "Keywords: Anthropoidea; Haplorhini; homology; postorbital septum; tarsiiforms; ocular hypertrophy; Tarsius Abstract Among primates, partial or complete posterior closure of the orbit has been widely accepted as a shared derived characteristic justifying an exclusive tarsier-anthropoid clade, while some regard the tarsier lateral orbit as an elaborated postorbital bar (POB). To test these competing hypotheses while minimizing the confounding effect of tarsier orbital hypertrophy, we compared tarsiers and other primates at early (fetal and newborn) ages using dissection, micro-CT scans and soft tissue histology. Our findings demonstrate unanticipated variation in the anatomy and development of the zygomaticofrontal (ZFA) articulation, which forms the orbit's lateral framework. Tarsiers uniquely exhibit a combination of two features: absence of a pre- and peri-natal frontal spur to join with the zygomatic to form the ZFA; and, the spur's substitution by an elaborate ligament, which envelops the eye laterally as an expansive postorbital membrane (POM) that merges with the anterolateral fontanelle of the lateral cranial vault. In lacking a frontal spur, tarsiers are distinct from strepsirhines, while the ligamentous structure of the POM distinguishes its ZFA from that of anthropoids, which is a typical facial suture at and prior to birth. The POM of tarsiers may be thought of as an accessory fontanelle, a structural compromise that provides flexible stability and spatial separation of bones while anticipating rapid postnatal growth of an enormously enlarged eye. We regard the tarsier POM as part of a neomorphic eyeball hypertrophy complex, and reject the hypothesis of derived homology of the postorbital septa of adult tarsiers and anthropoids on histological, developmental and functional grounds. Anat Rec, 296:365–377, 2013. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. The orbit of adult primates is well supported laterally by the articulation of the frontal and zygomatic bones. In extant strepsirhines (lemurs, lorises, and allies) and Paleogene euprimates (adapiforms, fossil tarsiiforms, and primates of modern aspect), each of these bones projects toward one another with orbital processes, forming a postorbital bar (POB)."

The bones of the skeleton have the main function of supporting our body weight and acting as attachment points for our muscles. The focus in this study session will be on the female pelvis, which supports the major load of the pregnant uterus, and the fetal skull, which has to pass through the woman’s pelvis when she gives birth. There are certain key landmarks in the anatomy of the female pelvis and the fetal skull that we will show you in this study session. Knowing these landmarks will enable you to estimate the progress of labour, by identifying changes in their relative positions as the baby passes down the birth canal. You will learn how to do this in the next Module in this curriculum, which is on Labour and Delivery Care.

The anterior fontanelle typically closes between the ages of 12 and 18 months. Contents1 Clinical significance2 Additional images3 See also4 External links Clinical significance [ edit]The anterior fontanelle is useful clinically. Examination of an infant includes palpating the anterior fontanelle. A sunken fontanelle indicates dehydration, whereas a very tense or bulging anterior fontanelle indicates raised intracranial pressure. However, this is not a certain indicator for raised pressure as prolonged crying by the baby may produce the same effect. A full anterior fontanelle may also be indicative of neonatal meningitis, specifically acute bacterial meningitis. Additional images [ edit]Skull of newborn."

Articles include: Symptoms Getting diagnosed Possible misdiagnoses Second opinions Symptoms With newborns, hydrocephalus is detected almost immediately as the child's head may be larger than normal or misshapen. However, with older children or adults, hydrocephalus usually starts to reveal itself with a variety of signs and symptoms weeks or months before it is detected. Common symptoms of an increase of intracranial CSF pressure include: Abnormally large head or increased head growth in infants or children (macrocephaly). Frequent headaches, particularly late at night or early in the morning. Awkwardness or stumbling when walking (gait disturbance)."

"text": "\"Health Other - Health When does the anterior and posterior fontanelles close? Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: In human anatomy, a fontanelle (or fontanel) is one of two \"\"soft spots\"\" on a newborn human's skull. There are, however, two more fontanelles of interest, the mastoid fontanelle, and the sphenoidal fontanelle. Fontanelles are soft spots on a baby's head which, during birth, enable the soft bony plates of the skull to flex, allowing the head to pass through the birth canal. Fontanelles are usually completely hardened by a child's second birthday, and will eventually form the sutures of the neurocranium. The skull of a newborn consists of five main bones: two frontal bones, two parietal bones, and one occipital bone. These are joined by fibrous sutures, which allow movement that facilitates childbirth and brain growth. At birth, the skull features a small posterior fontanelle, an open area covered by a tough membrane, where the two parietal bones adjoin the occipital bone (at the lambda). This fontanelle usually closes during the first several months of an infant's life. There is also a much larger, diamond-shaped anterior fontanelle where the two frontal and two parietal bones abut."

D., University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, Ohio Am Fam Physician. 2003 Jun 15;67 (12):2547-2552. The diagnosis of an abnormal fontanel requires an understanding of the wide variation of normal. At birth, an infant has six fontanels. The anterior fontanel is the largest and most important for clinical evaluation. The average size of the anterior fontanel is 2.1 cm, and the median time of closure is 13.8 months. The most common causes of a large anterior fontanel or delayed fontanel closure are achondroplasia, hypothyroidism, Down syndrome, increased intracranial pressure, and rickets. A bulging anterior fontanel can be a result of increased intracranial pressure or intracranial and extracranial tumors, and a sunken fontanel usually is a sign of dehydration. A physical examination helps the physician determine which imaging modality, such as plain films, ultrasonography, computed tomographic scan, or magnetic resonance imaging, to use for diagnosis. Examination of a newborn's fontanels offers the physician a window into the infant's developing brain and general state of health."

Scientists are discovering the real reasons for the hell of adolescence, writes Vivienne Parry Vivienne Parry Wed 2 Mar 2005 19.05 EST19.05 EST298Something very strange happens at puberty, when truckloads of hormones begin arriving by the day. Children who were once sweet, helpful and good fun to be around turn, almost overnight, into grunting creatures, who wear nothing but black, lie abed until noon and consume 5,000-calorie snacks (followed immediately by saying that they are still hungry). They are spotty, frequently smelly, and grow out of every item of clothing they have in the space of a few months. Their boredom threshold plummets and they do not seem able to concentrate on anything for more than five minutes at a time. You begin to wonder whether your child is a changeling, swapped with your own by an alien from the Planet MTV while you weren't looking. Teenagers are trapped in limbo, neither children nor adults. An excruciating mix of vulnerability and potential, which by turns engages, inspires and alienates adults - everything they do has a high intensity feel about it. We know this because our own adolescent experiences - our first kiss, the first time we fell in love, the first time we drove a car alone - still burn brightly 30 or 40 years on. There is a darker side, too - soaring rates of serious accident, illicit use of drugs or alcohol, risky sexual behaviours and their consequences and the first signs of emotional disorders which may be lifelong. Teenagers seem to be the very embodiment of hormonal mayhem - or are they?"

"text": "\"What does age have to do with being an adult? Since when do the two come together? The definition for adult has to do with physical descriptions as being fully grown and developed or mental descriptions as being mature and sensible. However, it has come to my attention, and I'm sure everyone else's, that you could find a middle aged \"\"adult\"\" to not qualify as being mature or medical conditions causing him/her to not be fully grown and developed. If maturity and development are to be the defining terms then how is it that we must wait to a certain age to be seen as an adult when we could very well have those qualities at any given age. It has come to my attention that some parents simply want us to make irrational descisions from the lack of experience fearing that we'll make a mistake. However mistakes will be made regardless of age. Taking responsibility for the mistake made at that time is something adults are said to do so why is it that we are not allowed the opportunity to learn from anything? I understand parents live in fear for their child but what if they're underestimating them, sometimes without even being given reason to undermine them. You, as parents or guardians, should know first hand of maturity and responsibility of the young adult, so while they're being at question of a big decision why do you doubt them? \"\""

All the adults identified the emotion as fear, but many of the teenagers saw something different, such as shock or anger. When she examined their brain scans, Todd found that the teenagers were using a different part of their brain when reading the images. Do you notice a big difference between young teenagers and older teenagers, for instance, or adults? Yes. Our data suggested that the younger teenagers were significantly different in how they responded compared to adults. And we did see an age-dependent or age-related change between the ages of 11 and 17, with the most dramatic difference being in the earlier teen years. One aspect of our work has been to look at the frontal part of the brain, which has been known to underlie thought and anticipation and planning and goal-directed behavior, and try to understand the relationship of this part of the brain to the more inferior or lower part of the brain which has been associated with emotion and gut responses."

But central precocious puberty (CPP) is a rare condition. It happens when the body matures sooner -- perhaps years earlier -- than expected. Puberty usually starts around age 7 1/2 in girls and around age 9 in boys. For some children, such as those who are African-American or Hispanic, normal puberty may happen as early as age 6 in girls and age 8 in boys. But with CPP, signs of puberty, such as budding breasts and body hair, show up much sooner than parents might anticipate. It's more common for girls. When it does happen in boys, there's a good chance there's an underlying, potentially serious medical cause that needs to be treated. This is usually not the case for girls.

But now scientists have discovered for the first time that their brains can develop up to ten years earlier than boys. Newcastle University stumbled upon the finding while conducting experiments into how the brain stores information. They discovered that as the brain matures it begins to ‘prune’ information that is stored and focus on what is important.

"text": "At What Age Is The Brain Fully Developed? Share Pin Reddit Stumble Email6.2KIt is widely debated as to which age the brain is considered “fully mature” or developed. In the past, many experts believed that the brain may have been done developing in the mid to late teens. Then along came some evidence to suggest that development may last until at least age 20. These days, a consensus of neuroscientists agree that brain development likely persists until at least the mid-20s – possibly until the 30s. The fact that our brains aren’t developed until the mid 20s means that “legal adults” (those age 18+) are allowed to make adult decisions, without fully mature brains. Someone who is 18 may make riskier decisions than someone in their mid-20s in part due to lack of experience, but primarily due to an underdeveloped brain. All behaviors and experiences you endure until the age of 25 have potential to impact your developing brain. At what age is the brain fully developed? Although brain development is subject to significant individual variation, most experts suggest that the brain is fully developed by age 25."

Find more of our publications and books at extensionpubs.umext.maine.edu. Like constructing a house, brains are built upon a strong foundation. This starts before birth, and is very important during the first three years of life. Brain cells are “raw” materials — much like lumber is a raw material in building a house, and a child’s experiences and interactions help build the structure, put in the wiring, and paint the walls. Heredity (nature) determines the basic number of “neurons” (brain nerve cells) children are born with, and their initial arrangement. At birth, a baby’s brain contains 100 billion neurons, roughly as many nerve cells as there are stars in the Milky Way, and almost all the neurons the brain will ever have."

"text": "Science Human Anatomy Nerves Q: What age does the brain fully mature? A: Quick Answer Neuroscience research since the late 1990s shows that the brain does not reach full maturity until about age 25, reports the National Center for Biotechnology Information. The brain's frontal lobes – home of executive functions such as planning, working memory and impulse control – are among the last to develop. Continue Reading Keep Learning How fast do nerves regenerate? When is the brain fully developed? What causes a mini stroke to occur? Full Answer Traditionally, adulthood has been defined biologically as the end of puberty and legally as either 18 or 21 years old, with the underlying assumption that the brain has finished developing by that age. The National Center for Biotechnology Information explains that adolescent risk-taking behaviors, lack of impulse control and poor judgment can result from an immature pre-frontal cortex, as that is the seat of higher-order cognitive processes. This newer understanding of brain development means that policy makers, governments and social scientists are re-evaluating legal and societal expectations for young adults. Even so, science has not identified any direct correlation between actual behavior and specific stages of brain development."

"text": "\"Is Love Over When The “Spark” Is Gone?”by Kimberly 7 years ago166,391Are you one of those who is being dumped or who feels that it may be time to break up because the “Spark” just isn’t there like it used to be? What happened? Where did the Spark go that he/she used to feel for and with me, or why don’t I feel it anymore? Is it a sign that it wasn’t really real Love like they or I thought at first? Has one of us just come to realize over some time that even though there is still a ”sense of love” or maybe sincere care and even good friendship so that we still get along very well, because the “Spark” is faded or gone, there is a lack of the main ingredient so that something just isn’t right about our love anymore? Do they now feel like there’s just something they are missing that I can no longer provide, or do I feel this way? Will he or she or I ever find a “Lasting” Love where the “Spark” doesn’t fade or die? Why do I feel like I am dying inside now that I’ve been dumped and can I possibly go on without this person or recover? Medical Science has Interesting Evidence that Love is a Drug... Medical Science has performed numerous brain imagine experiments on people’s brains during times when they were feeling deeply in love with that certain euphoric feeling of intense pleasure and happiness, and also on brains of people who were still together in a love relationship long after the highly romantic early stages, and also on brains of those who were experiencing deep depression and pain due to being dumped. Is that old saying, or maybe it was a song title too, “Love is a Drug,” really true?"

Yes, Facebook Ads can be extremely tough to master and very frustrating with the ad approval process. Not to mention you can actually blow through a lot of money fast if you don’t know what you are doing. However, how can you turn your back on a ad platform that allows you to target over 600 million people all over the world based on their demographics and interests. I always find myself coming back to Facebook and running new ad campaigns. Most lose money, but when you get something that works, it’s really great. Sometimes I even surprise myself with new ad creatives and targeting groups that I come up with, and also seeing what makes people click. I wanted to share some numbers that I’ve seen in the past month while playing around with a new campaign. The greatest part about this latest campaign, was the ability to create some really phenomenal ad copy that people loved, but more importantly… almost getting clicks for free, and the majority in the .01-.o2 range.

J Reʏ8 References9 Glossary Introduction [ edit]The term ‘prosumer’ was first introduced by Alvin Toffler in his 1980 book, The Third Wave, and explores the idea that as society shifts towards the post-industrial age, the producer and the consumer have amalgamated into the prosumer. The prosumer actively works to produce the services and goods they buy and consume. For example: self check-outs at the supermarket, the DIY furniture of Ikea, automated ticket machines at train stations, or online order and delivery services such as ‘e-bay’ or ‘Amazon’. It is interesting how the term 'prosumer' is helping to blur the lines between the traditional separate uses of urban space. At one time grocers or shop owners would have lived in the space above their stores but since commercialism boomed in the 1950s, a clear distinction between areas has been established (eg. neighborhoods vs factory spaces). The introduction of prosumption has led to a lack of distinction between where work and home life begins and ends. This makes one wonder about the effect that technology is going to have on the urban landscape in future years. Prosumer is a compound word which is made up of the words producer and consumer. Understanding the concept of what a prosumer is means that we must first understand the two terms which create the word."

According to the business dictionary, organizational culture is the values and behaviors that contribute to the unique social and psychological environment of an organization. In this article, I will focus on several conversations with many of my colleagues whose organizations have embarked on what many have perceived as “judgment day” for healthcare. I wanted to share some of these conversations in hopes that it would shed some light on how the impact of moving from the ICD-9-CM coding platform to the ICD-10-CM/PCS platform has impacted organizational cultures within many organizations. This article does not seek to single out or lay blame on any one organization’s culture over another. It is intended to provoke thought as well as an open and honest dialogue. One colleague shared that the organization they worked for “is crazy and they make me crazy.” They want everyone to learn this “ICD-10 crap” and they have not even started to do anything yet.

It’s a new i Phone dating app that lets users select or skip other Tinder users, based solely on looks, with the swipe of a finger. When you sign up for Tindr, you login through Facebook, select your sexual orientation and five Facebook profile pictures you’d like to associate with your account, and allow it to access your current location. Then the fun begins. The app allows you to swipe through profiles of potential matches within your geographic area. If you see someone who catches your eye, you tap the green heart and hope they tap back when they reach your picture. When there’s a match, you’re given the opportunity to chat directly with the other person. If a picture pops that doesn’t interest you, you simply tap a giant red “X” and the image spirals off into the abyss. It’s a pretty simple premise that has become wildly successful and addictive among the college crowd. Whereas online dating profiles can be stressful to write and time-consuming to wade through, Tinder makes dating simple: is someone hot or not?"

Unless you plan on running out on a bill, it will never cost you more than you have to spend. How much food you’ll get is another story. It’s not a question of how much Facebook costs, but how far your money will go. Marketers who discourage using the platform on the basis of it being too costly are probably the same people who claim that fishing is a waste of time with their line in an oil spill. If you go into Facebook advertising, or any type of online advertising for that matter, with a clear focus and follow a simple strategy, the cost-efficiency of the platform will astound you. If you run into it blind, you’ll find yourself losing money faster than Michael Jordan at a casino. In this post, I’ll outline: Some average costs associated with Facebook advertising, including average CPC on Facebook.

Its website was launched on February 4, 2004, by Mark Zuckerberg, along with fellow Harvard College students and roommates Eduardo Saverin, Andrew Mc Collum, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes. The founders initially limited the website's membership to Harvard students. Later they expanded it to higher education institutions in the Boston area, the Ivy League schools, and Stanford University. Facebook gradually added support for students at various other universities, and eventually to high school students. Since 2006, anyone who claims to be at least 13 years old has been allowed to become a registered user of Facebook, though variations exist in this requirement, depending on local laws. The name comes from the face book directories often given to American university students. Facebook held its initial public offering (IPO) in February 2012, and began selling stock to the public three months later, reaching an original peak market capitalization of $104 billion, a new record."

"text": "Let’s face it—many adults make terrible parents. Sometimes, a teenager would be better off without the harmful, toxic involvement of his or her parents. Emancipation can be one answer to the problem. In Minnesota, “emancipation” means that a minor has the same legal rights and Minor obligations as an eighteen-year-old adult. It can also be “partial, conditional … or limited as to time or purpose.” Sonnenberg v. County of Hennepin, 99 N. W.2d 444, 447-48 (Minn. 1959). The parents of emancipated children are released of their legal duty to financially support their children. Emancipated minors are still subject to the law based on their age (i.e. they cannot buy alcohol or cigarettes, must be off the streets by curfew, are not able to vote and will be considered truant if they don’t attend school), however, emancipation allows them to function independently in an economic sense (i.e. sign a lease for an apartment, get credit). MN statutes recognize several rights for emancipated children, including:an emancipated minor may forego immunization because of religious belief (Minn. Stat. § 121A.15, subd."

"text": "What are the Legal Rights of Children? Children, or minors, do not have the full legal capacity of adults. Typically, minors aren’t granted the rights of adults until they reach the age of 18, although this varies from state to state. Because children are still developing, both physically and mentally, they aren’t considered capable of handling the same rights as mature adults. However, children do have some inherent legal rights as soon as they are born, and they obtain some additional rights as they grow. Basic Rights for Every Child Although children grow and mature at different rates, there are some rights that every child is born with. Children are entitled to a safe environment, good nutrition, healthcare, and education. Although parents have the right to raise their children as they see fit, if a child is not safe, the state will remove the children from their home. Parents are required to meet the child's basic needs. Minors also have rights under the U. S. Constitution."

"text": "Can Children Divorce Their Parents? By Amy Newman Attorney Source In the 1984 movie, Irreconcilable Differences, actress Drew Barrymore played a nine-year-old girl who divorced her parents. While it may seem like a case of Hollywood fiction, children can, and do, file to divorce their parents. What does it take for a child to become emancipated, and what are the consequences to both parent and child? What Is Emancipation? Emancipation is the legal term for when a child becomes free of his parents, and happens either when the child reaches the age of legal majority (which varies amongst states), or when he is granted an order of emancipation from the court. Most courts will not consider emancipation unless the minor is at least 16 years of age, although some states, like California, allow it as young as 14 years of age. Age of Emancipation The legal age of majority is typically 18, or when the child graduates from high school, whichever occurs later. In the case of a child divorcing his parents, the child is seeking to speed up the process of emancipation by severing all ties to his parents prior to reaching the age of majority. Termination of Parental Obligations When a child becomes emancipated, his parents are no longer obligated to provide him with food, shelter, clothing or care; this includes terminating the obligation to pay child support."

"text": "You are here: Home / Resources / Indiana / Indiana’s New Child Support Law Indiana’s New Child Support Law A new Indiana child support law lowering the age of emancipation will affect current and future child support orders implemented by Indiana courts. Effective July 1, 2012, children are now considered emancipated for purposes of child support at age 19 as opposed to age 21. This affects two statutes, Ind. Code 31-14-11-18 (Paternity actions), and Ind. Code 31-16-6-6 (Divorce actions). Specifically, the law changes two major aspects of support for children: 1) payment of child support to the custodial parent, and 2) contribution to post-secondary education expenses for children. Under the new law, a parent paying child support may modify their order to terminate support for a child once the child reaches age 19. This change puts Indiana in line with surrounding states that have used age 18 or 19 as the age of majority for some time now. For the average child support payor, this means that you will not be obligated to pay support to the opposing party for your minor child after age 19, even if that child is in college and still dependent on his or her parents for financial support. This new law takes into account the circumstances of many families where the child lives at college away from home and spends very little time living with the custodial parent throughout the year. This change may not be a huge impact on a child support payor’s obligation if he had filed a petition to modify his child support order when his child moved out to attend college (usually age 18), as child support owed directly to an ex for the limited weeks the child is home from college during the year is often minimal. However, even a minimal weekly payment can add up over two years, so it can be beneficial to file a Petition to Emancipate the child and modify your child support order (or terminate it if your order is only for one child) if your child is age 19 or above."

What are my rights as a parent and can I charge this 18 year old on aiding my daughter and hiding her?03/04/2009 | Category: Minors » Emancipation... | State: Florida | #15429Answer: 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. Generally, parental consent is required, except in cases of parental misconduct that causes the minor to leave the home. Emancipation may cease to make a parent liable for the acts of a child, including debts, negligence or criminal acts."

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.

INTRODUCTION: AGE OF MAJORITY AS EMANCIPATIONSome states also have statutes that allow a divorce court to impose upon the parents the duty to provide for college assistance support beyond the age of majority. See Brett R. Turner, From Child to Adult: Parental Liability for Support of College-Age Children, 5 Divorce Litigation 169 (September 1993). The common law also provides that parents of a child who is unable to care for him/herself may have the support duty extended beyond the child's majority. See Laura W. Morgan, The Duty to Support Adult Disabled Children, 9 Divorce Litigation 185 (October 1997). And, of course, parents may always agree to extend support beyond majority. See Brett R.

It’s a question that could be asked in the State of Missouri, especially if a child feels the need to be on his/her own. When a child asks to be emancipated it is almost assured that the relationship between the parent and child has reached an all time low. However, in some cases it is advantageous for the child to want emancipation. When a child becomes emancipated they are asking the judge to grant them authority to do the same things as a person who has reached the Age of Majority which is 21in the State of Missouri. If the child receives permission from the court or the parents to be emancipated then the parents or the guardians are not responsible for the child. That means they are not obligated to provide money, medical insurance or any other kind of support. Before a child gets emancipated he or she must be able to provide for themselves, handle their own money and have a legal way to make money."

"text": "Child Support Orders Are Terminated for Many Reasons Q: When are child support orders terminated? A: A child support order may be terminated for many reasons, including: • the death of either the child or the person paying child support; • the child’s marriage; • the child’s deportation; • adoption of the child; • the child’s emancipation (for purposes of child support, a child is “emancipated” when he/she reaches 18 years of age and is not a full-time student, or 19 years of age regardless of school enrollment); • the child’s enlistment in the armed services when no longer a full-time student; • a change in the legal (court-ordered) custody of the child (for example, if permanent custody is awarded to a public children services agency or a court order terminates the parental rights of the person who has been paying child support). In addition, a Child Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA) may pursue child support termination if the parties to the child support order marry or re-marry one another and no other person has legal custody of the child. A CSEA may pursue termination for the above-listed reasons through the administrative process. If a party wishes to terminate child support for a reason that is not listed above, that termination would have to be pursued privately through the court. Q: How does the CSEA know when to terminate support for my child? A: Both parents are responsible for notifying the CSEA if there is any reason that support should be terminated. While written notification is preferable, either parent may report this information to the CSEA by phone or in person. Within 20 calendar days of receiving this information, the CSEA must complete an investigation to verify it. If the child is near the age of emancipation for child support purposes and neither parent has notified the CSEA that support should be terminated, then the CSEA will complete an investigation near the child’s 18th birthday to determine if the support should continue or be terminated based upon the child’s high school attendance."

"text": "The age of majority, or the age at which a child legally becomes an adult, is 18 in Nevada. However, teenagers younger than 18 can petition a Nevada court for emancipation, freeing themselves from their parents' authority. When this occurs, they can enter into legally binding contracts and incur debt, just as adults can. However, in some respects, they’re still minors under Nevada law. Early Emancipation When a child residing in Nevada reaches the age of 16, he can ask the court for early emancipation. Under Section 129.080 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, he can file a petition with the court if he has married or has already moved out of his parents’ or guardians' home. However, he must prove to the court’s satisfaction that he can make it on his own. This usually involves showing proof of his income and that it’s enough to meet his budget. If he has a roommate or receives financial assistance from a family member, the court can take that into consideration. If the court agrees that the child is capable, it will issue a decree of emancipation."

"text": "\"Family Members Family Members Eligible for Coverage Employing Office Responsibilities Your employing office is responsible for making decisions about whether a family member is eligible for coverage. If the carrier of your health benefits plan has any questions about whether someone is an eligible family member, it may ask you or your employing office for more information. The carrier must accept your employing office's decision on your family member's eligibility. General Eligibility for Coverage Family members eligible for coverage under your Self and Family enrollment are your spouse (including a valid common law marriage) and children under age 26, including legally adopted children, recognized natural (born out of wedlock) children and stepchildren. A child is eligible for coverage under your Self and Family enrollment, if a state-issued birth certificate lists you as a parent of that child. Foster children are included if they meet the requirements listed here:the child must be under age 26 (if the child is age 26 or over, he/she must be incapable of self-support);the child must currently live with you;the parent-child relationship must be with you, not the child's biological parent;you must currently be the primary source of financial support for the child; andyou must expect to raise the child to adulthood. A child age 26 or over who is incapable of self-support because of a mental or physical disability that existed before age 26 is also an eligible family member. In determining whether the child is a covered family member, your employing office will look at the child's relationship to you as the enrollee. A grandchild is not an eligible family member, unless the child qualifies as your foster child. Special rules apply to family members if you are enrolled as a survivor annuitant or under the Spouse Equity or temporary continuation of coverage (TCC) provisions."

Click here What Is a Legal Guardianship? A legal guardianship is a relationship established by the court where one person acts for the benefit and protection of another person. A person receiving the services of a legal guardian is called a “ward”. The ward is usually a child or minor whose parents are no longer capable of raising them, usually due to death or incapacity. Adults with mental or physical handicaps may also be appointed a legal guardian. There are several different types of legal guardianships, such as temporary guardianships, emergency guardianships, and adult guardianships. However, guardianship almost always refers to non-parental parties who assume legal responsibility for a child. In many cases, a legal guardianship does not end an existing parent-child relationship. That is, the parent can request the court to end a guardianship if it is in the child’s best interest."

Because the parent can't take care of so many babies, the babies are pretty much left to fend for themselves. Most of them die young, but a few survive into adulthood. This is called R-selection. Strategy #2 is to have a few babies, but to nurture and take care of them, so that they have a high probability of surviving into adulthood. This strategy, known as K-selection, is used by all large animals, including humans. The K-selected strategy works best if, once the animal reaches sexual maturity, it has a long life. That way, it can have lots of babies, even if each of one takes a long time to raise. That's why large species tend to live longer than smaller ones - because evolution selected those species for longevity."

Balancing Sleep, Safety, and Sanityby Alice Callahan on October 22, 2015**10/24/16 – This post has been updated to reflect the AAP’s 2016 Policy Statement on preventing SIDS and other sleep-related deaths. The AAP now recommends roomsharing for at least the first 6 months of life and preferably the first year. I’m glad to see this greater emphasis on roomsharing; it is evidence-based and yet overlooked by many families. The research reported here remains relevant and includes discussion of why roomsharing may protect babies, for how long, and why there may be a sleep tradeoff with roomsharing. ** There is no doubt that having a new baby changes everything about sleep. Between fussing, feeding, diapering, and soothing, it is broken into fragments, and the sum of all of those pieces doesn’t usually feel like enough. There’s also your baby’s safety to consider. Nobody likes to think about SIDS, but it is the most common cause of death in babies beyond the newborn period (1), and we want to do everything we can to prevent it."

"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": "The age at which one is considered a legal adult in the US is typically 18. What defines a legal adult is ability to legally work, participate in contracts, vote, marry, give sexual consent, and join the military. Being a legal adult under 21 does not give one the right in most states to purchase alcohol, however. The age one becomes a legal adult in the US is largely the age at which most children are considered adults in the world. A few countries set this age lower, but in most of the Western world, one is considered an adult at 18. In some cases, a child under 18 is a legal adult especially for the purposes of marrying or signing contracts, prior to 18. This is rare and tends to occur if a child sues his or her parents for emancipation. An emancipated child is still a “minor,” however, and may not vote until he or she turns 18. For many parents the term legal adult does not mean their children possess certain adult characteristics. For example, being an adult implies being able to make mature decisions, participate in civic matters, have self-control, and be responsible."

"text": "March 14, 2013Modern Parenthood Chapter 6: Time in Work and Leisure, Patterns by Gender and Family Structure By Kim Parker and Wendy Wang Taking paid and unpaid work time together, working-age American men and women differ very little in their total work time. Analyses of pooled data from the American Time Use Survey of 2003 to 2011 indicate that on average, men spend about 10 hours more than women per week in paid work, although women spend about six hours more than men in household work and about three additional hours in child care, bringing the total work time to 45.6 hours per week for men and 45.2 hours for women. However, men spend more time than women in leisure activities, which includes TV time, playing games, sports and a series of other activities. 27 The gender gap in leisure is about five hours per week. Having children at home changes people’s time use patterns. Men who have kids spend more hours in paid work, while the opposite is true for women. Fathers with children under age 18 on average spend 38 hours per week in paid work, seven hours more than the amount of paid work time spent by men who do not have children at home, yet mothers spend less time in paid work than working-age women without children at home (22 hours per week vs. 25 hours). Despite the fact that mothers still do more housework and child care than fathers, fathers’ overall work time (including unpaid work at home) is actually two hours more than that of mothers. Fathers also enjoy more leisure time than mothers; the gap is close to three hours per week. For adults who do not have young children at home, the gender gap for total work time is minimal, although the leisure gap is wider: men without young children at home spend about five hours per week more in leisure than women in the same situation."

When a person reaches age the age of maturity, which is the United States ranges from 18 to 21 depending on state, he or she becomes a legal adult, taking on the rights and responsibilities that come with adulthood. Teenagers who are emancipated before the age of majority gain those same legal rights and responsibilities. They are no longer supported financially by their parents, and they are no longer legally allowed to rely on their parents to meet their needs. Consider the following rights and responsibilities you would have as an emancipated teenager: [1]You must find your own place to live, and be responsible for paying rent. You must provide your own food, clothing and other material needs. You may get a marriage license, driver's license, or join the armed services without your parents' permission. You may sign contracts without your parents' involvement, and be legally responsible for upholding them. You may buy and sell property. You may enroll in a school or college by yourself."

If a ‘relevant child’ has returned home to their parents, they cease to be a relevant child after being at home for 6 months. However, if this arrangement later breaks down before their 18th birthday, they return to being a ‘relevant child’. If a young person has experienced a series of pre-planned respite arrangements, not lasting longer than 4 weeks, each of these will not be considered as qualifying towards ‘relevant child’ status. However, if a young person receives respite care on a regular basis, this may amount to the young person being classed as a ‘relevant child’; the Local Authority’s policy will need to be considered to determine this. Former Relevant Child: Further Information If, at the age of 21, the young person is still being helped by the responsible Authority with education or training, then they remain a ‘former relevant child’ until a maximum age of 25."

"text": "\"Ten Reasons to Respond to a Crying Childby Jan Hunt1. A baby's first attempts to communicate cannot be in words, but can only be nonverbal. She cannot put happy feelings into words, but she can smile. She cannot put sad or angry feelings into words, but she can cry. If her smiles receive a response, but crying is ignored, she can receive the harmful message that she is loved and cared for only when she is happy . Children who continue to get this message through the years cannot feel truly loved and fully accepted.2. If a child's attempts to communicate sadness or anger are routinely ignored, he cannot learn how to express those feelings in words. Crying must receive an appropriate and positive response so that the child sees that all of his feelings are accepted. If his feelings are not accepted, and crying is ignored or punished, he receives the message that sadness and anger are unacceptable, no matter how they are expressed. It is impossible for a child to understand that expression of sadness or anger might be accepted in appropriate words once he is older and able to use those words."

"text": "The Australian Census of Population and Housing is a rich source of data about Australians and their cultural characteristics. In 2011, the Census revealed that over a quarter (26%) of Australia's population was born overseas and a further one fifth (20%) had at least one overseas-born parent. Throughout the 100 years since the first National Census in 1911, migrants have made up a large component of the Australian population. Historically, the majority of migration has come from Europe, however, there are increasingly more Australians who were born in Asia and other parts of the world. This pattern of migration is evident in the make up of the richly diverse society which has been recorded in the 2011 Census. This diversity can be seen in the variety of languages, religions, ancestries and birthplaces reported by Australians. Although this article focuses on the overseas-born population, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples also contribute greatly to the cultural diversity of Australia. Further analysis of Census data relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia can be found in Counts of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, 2011 (cat. no. 2075.0)."

Where did a mini golden doodle originate from: A Goldendoodle is a Golden Retriever and Mini Poodle cross. Miniature Goldendoodles have been bred in North America and Australia since the mid-1990’s. As the smaller poodle hybrids had been such a success in filling the niche for small, allergy friendly family pets, Golden Retriever breeders decided to try a breeding with a standard poodle for a larger family pet. The quick rise of the popularity of Mini Goldendoodles is due to the dogs themselves. They are highly social dogs who are good with strangers and make great family pets. They have become a popular sought after pet and make great therapy dogs as well."

"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."

The word pudel means puddler or \"\"to splash in water\"\". The stylized haircut seen on show dogs today originated with hunters. The ancestor of today's poodle was stockier, and had a very dense, tightly curled coat that protected the dog from retrieving game in icy water. This style of haircut was designed to allow the dog to swim freely while keeping its major organs warm. Today's poodles are athletic, intelligent, cheerful, and have a wonderful temperament.

While statistics are similar with the two smaller varieties, the Standard has a different life expectancy, and while all Poodles are vulnerable to certain medical issues, these will vary as well. We will look at the top causes of death for each as well as important steps that you can take at home to extend the life span of your dog. Why Size Affects Life Expectancy One of the most puzzling aspects of life span in regard to canines is the 'old' concept that larger dogs have shorter life spans of smaller ones. However, this broad and general statement will be explained and specifically, how this relates to the Poodle breed in particular. While statistics have proven this 'size affects life span' theory, animal biologists and other animal specialists have been taking a closer look to better understand this. It used to be widely believed that a larger dog's body had more work to do (pumping blood in a bigger body, etc.) however this can be debated since the bigger a dog is, the larger his heart.

The ability of Poodles to learn is considered exceptional. Poodles are faster than any other breed at discovering that spoken words mean something and they are thought to understand more spoken words. Many Poodle owners believe that Poodles actually come close to understanding grammar and whole sentences rather that just single words. In all probability, the breed originated in Germany or possibly in Russia. It is known as \"\"Puddeln\"\" or \"\"Pudel\"\" in German, meaning a puddle dog or one that likes splashing water. In France, it is known as the \"\"Caniche\"\" or Duck Dog. All of the Poodle's ancestors were good swimmers.

The costs, like any other dog breed, will depend on the age, its bloodline, the breeder, what’s included, colors and the type. Poodles with a great bloodline, for example, can fetch prices as high as $2,000 to $3,000. A toy poodle, ideal for those who are not active and have a limited living space, can cost anywhere from $500 to as much as $1,100."

First, if you have never owned a dog before or had one as a child growing up where you were part of the care giving / training team, then you have no idea the commitment and time it takes to raise a dog into a wonderful pet. Go to a shelter/rescue group and adopt your first dog. See what it is like to be responsible for a living being.

EMERITUS, PSYCHIATRY, INTERIM DIR,NISONGER CENTEROHIO STATE UNIVERSITYOct. 23, 2008Email Question: At what age do I know my child is safe from developing autism? Answer: Ordinarily the symptoms of autism begin prior to age three, usually by age two. But the diagnosis is often made about age three, maybe four. The worst symptoms usually show up between age four and five. If a child gets through age five with no sign of autistic symptoms, it's very unlikely that they would develop anything later short of some sort of brain insult. However it's important to note that sometimes the diagnosis is not made till late because the symptoms were ignored or not noticed earlier. And in such a case we would expect that the symptoms would be traceable back to prior to age three."

"text": "Print Overview Rubella Rubella, also called German measles or three-day measles, is a contagious viral infection best known by its distinctive red rash. Rubella is not the same as measles (rubeola), though the two illnesses do share some characteristics, including the red rash. However, rubella is caused by a different virus than measles, and is neither as infectious nor usually as severe as measles. The measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, usually given to children in the United States twice before they reach school age, is highly effective in preventing rubella. Because of widespread use of the vaccine, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has declared rubella eliminated in the United States, but cautions parents to make sure their children are vaccinated to prevent its reemergence. Symptoms The signs and symptoms of rubella are often so mild they're difficult to notice, especially in children. If signs and symptoms do occur, they generally appear between two and three weeks after exposure to the virus. They typically last about two to three days and may include: Mild fever of 102 F (38.9 C) or lower Headache Stuffy or runny nose Inflamed, red eyes Enlarged, tender lymph nodes at the base of the skull, the back of the neck and behind the ears A fine, pink rash that begins on the face and quickly spreads to the trunk and then the arms and legs, before disappearing in the same sequence Aching joints, especially in young women When to see a doctor Contact your doctor if you think you or your child may have been exposed to rubella or if you have the signs or symptoms listed above. If you're contemplating getting pregnant, check your vaccination record to make sure you've received your MMR inoculations. If a pregnant woman contracts rubella, especially during her first trimester, the virus can cause death or serious birth defects in her developing fetus."

Share Your Answer If you have any questions, please check our FAQ page40Answers By Kami horricks - Posted on Aug 3, 201110 20while toe walking is a sign of autism, it is also a normal toddler behavior. My three year old does and I ask her to walk with flat feet and she does. You may try correcting the behavior this way (include a demonstration of yourself going from on your toes to flat feet as they may not completely understand what you mean). The concern is the shortening of the Achilles tendon which will affect how they walk later in life. The secondary concern attached to that is that they already have a shortened Achilles which would require medical attention. ( IE physical therapy, braces and in extreme cases, surgery) If none of this is an issue and he can flatten his feet on his own then he may just be precocious :) and enjoy the view from the extra 3 inches. If autism is a concern, some symptoms you can look for are lack of eye contact, repetitive behaviors, anti social behavior (less and less talking, doesnt want to play with friends or go out in public) a deep lying need for a strict routine and if that routine is botched, an emotional meltdown. I wish you luck and hope you find the solution!"

In fact, scores of 32 or above are one of strong indicators of having as ASD. It is important to keep in mind that this quiz and the result you got are a useful tool, but are by no means a form of diagnosis or asperger’s syndrome or an autism spectrum disorder. If your resulting AQ score was above 31 then you may want to follow up with a medical practitioner to do further tests in order to determine 100% if you do have an ASD or aspergers.

One adolescent lad had memorized the bus system of the city of Milwaukee and was able to recite the route and time table of each of the buses for the entire city. Another younger boy, severely autistic, was able to put together a 200 piece jigsaw puzzle picture side down just from the geometric shape of the pieces. A third little guy was a walking almanac of what happened on this day in history, and try as I might to study up the night before, since he would always quiz me each morning, I was never able to top his recollections. ( In my defense, this was before Google)Just as these “islands of genius” in otherwise sometimes severely limited individuals, intrigued Dr. J. Landon Down nearly a century before me, they captured my attention as well. Now after 50 years of observation, and awe, this is a brief summary of the myths and realities of this extraordinary condition at the present time. Realities Savant syndrome defined Savant syndrome is a rare but spectacular condition in which persons with developmental disabilities, including but not limited to autism, or other central nervous system (CNS) disorders or disease have some spectacular “islands of genius” that stand in jarring juxtaposition to overall limitations. 1 The condition can be present from birth and evident in early childhood (congenital) or develop later in life after CNS injury or disease (acquired).

"text": "Teenagers With Autism: Symptoms, Treatment, & Help By Michael Hurst Autism spectrum disorders (ASD), also known as pervasive developmental disorders (PDD), are a group of developmental brain disorders characterized by difficulties with communication, social interactions as well as obsessions and repetitive behaviors. Autism is typically diagnosed by the age of 3, though advances are being made in early identification and treatment, allowing professionals to identify these disorders much sooner. Although parents are usually the first to observe developmental problems, teachers, pediatricians, daycare providers and others play an important role in identifying and treating autism. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that an average of 1 in 110 children in the United States have an autism spectrum disorder. These disorders are about four times more common in boys than girls. Types of Autism Spectrum Disorders Teens with autism spectrum disorders may be considered “high-functioning” (often diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, or high-functioning autism) or may fall on the lower functioning end of the spectrum (often diagnosed with autistic disorder). Less common ASDs include Rett syndrome and childhood disintegrative disorder. Pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified is the diagnosis given to children that do not meet the specific criteria for other autism spectrum disorders. Asperger’s vs. Autism Asperger’s syndrome is a higher functioning form of autism. Teens with Asperger’s may display different characteristics than teens with other autism spectrum disorders: Teens with Asperger’s are typically of above average intelligence, with less severe delays in cognitive development and language skills."

Babies can deftly parry exposures to certain harmful substances, thanks to antibodies passed onto them in the womb. But this kind of inherited immunity is short-lived, so a child must develop her own immune system response to combat life-threatening diseases. That's where vaccines come into the picture. By age two, most children will receive almost 30 shots designed to boost a child's natural defenses against disease. Yet at the same time, parents who take their children for those recommended vaccinations might be inundated with Web site and celebrity-espoused rumors making false claims that shots are not necessary or cause autism. At best, navigating this landscape can be confusing. But when weighing the risks of encountering life-threatening disease against the benefits of receiving a vaccine there's no contest. The vast majority of children do not experience anything worse than short-lived redness or itching at the spot of the injection."

It is normal to be worried or concerned over lack of progress or unusual behaviors, and happily these are resolved eventually. However, parents are in an ideal situation to watch for potential early signs of Autism, Asperger's syndrome, and other developmental issues in their child. Autism and Asperger's syndrome are developmental disorders and minimizing these developmental delays is very important for a child's long-term outcome. For this reason, early diagnosis and early intervention are crucial so here are some tips for parents looking for possible early signs.early signs of Autism & Asperger's syndrome These disorders will cause delays in a child's early development, with possible indicators in:• Social skills• The senses - hearing, taste, touch, sight, smell• Play and imagination• Behavior. It should be stressed that a diagnosis of Autism or Asperger's syndrome arises from a wide range of these indicators appearing to be a consistent theme in a child's development. THE FIRST YEAR - possible signs of Autism & Asperger's syndrome There are certain milestones of development that the average child reaches within the first year of development. Some of these include:• Standing with support by parents• Crawling around• Saying single words• Waving goodbye and other simple gestures. Not reaching these milestones does not indicate your child has symptoms of Autism or Asperger's syndrome, as many children may be late developers and catch up at a later point."

People with Asperger's syndrome have some traits of autism. For example, they may have poor social skills, prefer routine, and not like change. But unlike those who have autism, children with Asperger's syndrome usually start to talk before 2 years of age, when speech normally starts to develop.

Is this normal? Yes, what you are seeing is called the startle or Moro reflex. This reflex may follow after your infant hears noise or in association with an abrupt movement or other stimulation. It is noticed frequently at birth then gradually resolves by four months of age. When a newborn starts sucking on his fingers or fists, does this mean that he is hungry and I should feed him? The sucking reflex is a normal reflex that you may see even if your baby has just been fed. This is a survival reflex and will start to diminish between six and twelve months of age. Babies will suck on anything that is put in their mouth. Many newborns can be soothed with extra sucking using a pacifier or their fingers."

Some kids continue walking on their toes occasionally, just for fun. For example, your little girl may toe walk when she's pretending to be a princess. Generally, there's no reason to worry about toe walking before age 2. And children who toe walk after that often do so out of habit. But be sure to talk to your child's doctor if your child: Walks on her toes most of the time Has stiff muscles Is uncoordinated Walks awkwardly, stumbles, or has a waddling gait Seems slow to develop fine motor skills, like picking up small objects using her finger and thumb ( pincer grasp)Seems unable to bear her weight on a flat foot Loses motor skills she already had What causes it If your child always tiptoes, it's possible that she has a physical problem, such as a short Achilles tendon, that prevents her from standing flat-footed and limits the range of motion in her ankle. But if your child consistently walks on her toes and is unable to walk with her foot flat on the ground, it could be a sign of a motor disorder such as cerebral palsy. There are several types of cerebral palsy. The most common form is \"\"spastic,\"\" which means the affected muscles are stiff.

Although autism can be diagnosed at any age, it is said to be a “developmental disorder” because symptoms generally appear in the first two years of life. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ( DSM-5), a guide created by the American Psychiatric Association used to diagnose mental disorders, people with ASD have: Difficulty with communication and interaction with other people Restricted interests and repetitive behaviors Symptoms that hurt the person’s ability to function properly in school, work, and other areas of life Autism is known as a “spectrum” disorder because there is wide variation in the type and severity of symptoms people experience. ASD occurs in all ethnic, racial, and economic groups. Although ASD can be a lifelong disorder, treatments and services can improve a person’s symptoms and ability to function. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all children be screened for autism. All caregivers should talk to their doctor about ASD screening or evaluation. Signs and Symptoms of ASDPeople with ASD have difficulty with social communication and interaction, restricted interests, and repetitive behaviors.

"text": "\"Secretin Definition Secretin is a hormone naturally present in the body. Secretin manufactured for medical purposes derives from pigs and has been used for the last thirty years to diagnose digestive problems. Its use as a treatment against autism is only very recent, in 1996, an American boy, called Parker Beck, was given secretin in order to assess the cause of his intestinal problems, soon after his mother noticed that he started using words, his gastrointestinal symptoms disappeared and his eye contact improved. The demand for secretin in America rocketed after Mrs Beck appeared on a television show in 1998 and as a result the stocks of the American supplier Ferring were sold out within weeks. Due to the shortage of porcine secretin, some laboratories began manufacturing a synthetic human version and Repligen, another American company, acquired the patent in February 2001. Repligen completed a Phase 2 clinical trial two months later, which evaluated three doses of secretin or a placebo in 126 autistic children, 3 to 6 years of age. Improvement in social function, overall symptom and an increase in receptive language were reported in 64 children. What role does Secretin play? Secretin is involved in a number of functions of the body, its primary role is to stimulate the pancreas to secrete digestive fluids that are rich in bicarbonate and neutralise the acids from the stomach as they pass into the small intestine. It also stimulates the stomach to produce an enzyme called pepsin, which helps break down proteins."

General terms such as \"\"low-functioning,\"\" \"\"high-functioning,\"\" \"\"autistic tendencies,\"\" \"\"pervasive developmental disorder,\"\" and others are often used to describe children whose behaviors fall on the autism spectrum.

June 28, 2017 / 4 Comments / in braces / by Dr. Sam LAST UPDATED: JUNE 28, 2017What is the Best Age for Your Child to Get Orthodontic Braces Children should get orthodontic braces when they are seven years old. However, the condition of a child’s teeth can also influence how early the appliance will be needed. In most cases, treatments for braces can begin after a child loses every tooth and grows new teeth. Usually, permanent teeth grow in when a kid is around eight to fourteen years old. Most orthodontists take an interceptive approach. This means that they use various orthodontic appliances instead of braces during the early stages. Then, after the patient has every permanent tooth, the orthodontist will begin the next treatment phase, which will involve the use of braces. If a child receives treatments at an early age, the second treatment phase will be somewhat shorter. Orthodontists who prefer the interceptive approach believe that it is a more affordable option."

In the end, your braces are specific to you – as are when you should have them installed. Braces are most often designed for children in their early stages of dental development. Most dentists agree that by age 7, all children should have an orthodontist take a look at their teeth to make sure they’re coming in correctly. Should he/she see any irregularities, then topic of braces can be introduced to the conversation. Pediatric orthodontists are very well trained in child dental development. They are familiar with the various signs that teeth may not be coming in correctly and they can diagnose a potentially painful problem though regular dental screenings. Everyone’s teeth are different and develop at a different rate. Though not normal, it is possible that someone’s teeth begin to show signs of misalignment later in life. Thus there isn’t a specific “best age” when it comes to braces."

"text": "What Age Do You Start Braces? Posted on August 23, 2016This important dental question is one that we get every day in our orthodontic offices, and is perhaps the most controversial dental issue in orthodontics. The simple answer is that we wait until all of the baby teeth have been lost and all of the permanent teeth (except wisdom teeth) are growing in. Usually this is 11-12 for girls and 12-13 for boys. There are many patients that develop sooner or later than those ages, but these numbers are accurate for the majority of patients. Many patients and parents have heard of or have had 2 “Phases” of braces, sometimes from friends or their dentist. Many orthodontists use an early set of braces to expand the upper jaw and try to make the teeth straighter during younger years of a patient’s life. The Phase 1 of braces can take place any time between age 7-10. The Phase 2 of braces usually happens as indicated above, when the baby teeth are all lost and the permanent teeth have grown in. At Fry Orthodontic Specialists, we want to limit the time patients are in braces."

But today’s braces are far from the torturous devices of horror movies – and often not nearly as terrifying to our bank accounts.…newer materials and techniques have made many orthodontic appliances much more comfortable than they’ve ever been…Regular dental checkups usually determine whether you or your child needs a visit to the orthodontist. Straight teeth are important for more than merely cosmetic reasons: they’re easier to clean and therefore less susceptible to tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues, which can become quite problematic if allowed to worsen. Braces, if recommended, can be an essential part of good dental hygiene. The cost of braces The average cost of braces varies, depending on your needs, age, and the type of braces desired. The cost of braces varies, depending on your needs, age, and type of braces desired. A broad figure of $5,000 is the norm, but additional costs may be incurred for lingual (behind the teeth) braces, ceramic brackets (which are less visible), molds, x-rays and extractions (to make room for moving teeth). The process can last anywhere from a few months to two years. The good news is many types of dental plans cover orthodontia. Dental discount cards and dental health maintenance organizations (DHMOs) are best for offsetting the cost of braces."

Crooked teeth can be a real problem, no matter how old you are or what condition your mouth is in. The biggest blow is to self-esteem, because misaligned and unusually placed teeth are considered to be inferior. Even if a patient has great oral hygiene, it doesn’t stop people from making negative judgements about crooked gnashers. This is why dentists keep such a close eye on the development of adult teeth, in children. As soon as the permanent teeth have begun to emerge, their growth and formation can be tracked, in order to make sure that they are completely healthy.

Today’s metal braces are much smaller, flatter, and more comfortable than in the past. Patients of all ages choose metal braces to help them achieve straight, beautiful smiles. What Braces are Made Of Traditional metal braces are made of high quality stainless steel or titanium. The three main parts of your braces are: Brackets — Brackets are attached to the teeth using special glue that bonds them to the tooth surface and holds them in place. Archwire — The archwire is the thin metal wire that connects each bracket and puts pressure on the teeth to help guide them into place. Ligature Elastic (also known as the “rubber bands”) — Elastics, or rubber bands, are the colored ties that hold the archwires to the brackets. Your orthodontist will change the elastics at each appointment. Elastics may come in a variety of colors. How Braces Work Once placed on your teeth, braces place constant pressure on your teeth, and the force of the pressure helps move teeth into proper position."

But you always want the best for your children, and that includes finding ways to afford the orthodontic treatment they need, even though it may be difficult. So how much do braces cost for kids? First, it's necessary to identify the type of braces for your child and the duration of the treatment. This will help you understand your options in providing the very best care for your investment. The Right Age According to Jorgensen Orthodontics, children are typically fitted for braces not much later than 12 years of age, after they've lost all of their baby teeth and their 12-year molars have erupted. Although the American Association of Orthodontics (AAO) recommends that children receive their first orthodontic screening by the age of seven years, braces that are fitted too early can make the treatment take longer than necessary – and cost more. If your orthodontist identifies an incorrect bite or potential for crowding during the screening exam, he can sometimes take what is called \"\"interceptive\"\" action to prevent the problem from playing out or getting worse. This can include fitting a palatal expander or other appliance to ensure that the permanent teeth erupt in the right position."

It’s a lifelong spinal condition that results from the spine becoming “off center” and growing sideways, so it winds up curving in the shape of an “S” or “C” and causing a lot of back pain. Unfortunately, when many patients get a diagnosis of scoliosis from their doctors, they’re told it’s “ idiopathic ,” meaning the cause isn’t entirely known and therefore treatment can be very difficult. ( 1)For decades, it was somewhat of a mysterious disease and thought of as a difficult problem to help treat. While there’s no definitive cure for scoliosis, what we’ve learned in recent years is that the way best to reduce symptoms and stop it from progressing is to address its underlying cause, eradicating the spinal problem that’s formed at its root. Bracing techniques, anti-inflammatory prescription medications and spinal fusion surgery might be the norm still today and can help ease pain and symptoms, but unfortunately they come with risks and don’t fully address what’s happening below the surface. While there still isn’t a complete cure for scoliosis even with natural treatments, some people can see improvements from 10 percent to 30 percent within just several months when undergoing certain chiropractic adjustments and using targeted spinal exercises. Most importantly, these treatments can also help stop the spinal curvature from further progressing and therefore prevent unnecessary surgeries that cannot be reversed once performed. Signs and Symptoms of Scoliosis Symptoms commonly appear during adolescent years, especially during the growth spurt around the time of puberty, but older adults with back pains can be diagnosed with scoliosis for the first time too.

"text": "\"Braces Straight Talk on Braces By Linda Bren (staff writer for FDA Consumer)\"\"Heavy metal bands\"\" may conjure up images of rock music today, but many baby boomers remember them as the clunky and conspicuous devices they wore in their mouths as children to straighten their teeth. Today's braces are a lot different from the metal-mouth look of a generation ago. \"\" They're more aesthetic and more efficient,\"\" says Donald Joondeph, D. D. S., an associate professor of orthodontics at the University of Washington in Seattle. And they're more comfortable to wear and better at repositioning teeth, he adds. Braces used to be put on only after all the permanent teeth came in. Today, a multitude of dental devices, or orthodontic appliances, are being used at an early age to simplify later treatment, provide a better outcome, and, in some cases, avoid braces altogether. Adults, who make up one-fifth of orthodontic patients, also are opting for straighter teeth as more choices in orthodontic appliances become available. About 4.5 million people in the United States are wearing braces or other appliances to achieve a beautiful smile and healthy teeth, according to the American Association of Orthodontists ( AAO ). These appliances are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration to assure their safety and effectiveness. Not Just for Looks Braces are more than the means to a stunning smile--they can improve dental health and function, says Susan Runner, D. D.

Here we’ll look at how much different braces cost, and what you can expect from each treatment. Metal Braces Metal braces are probably the type that people are most aware of, and it is easy to understand why as they are the type that is most commonly used in the UK. They are typically the least expensive option; however, the negatives are quite cleat to some people. Because they are metal, they have a tendency to be quite large and although the look has improved significantly over the years it can still put some people off. Metal braces are very much the traditional option and they remain extremely popular and effective, despite the prevalance of the various new orthodontic treatments. Adult metal braces cost between £2,000 – £2,500 when fitted by a private dentist, or with NHS treatment you can expect to pay around £219 if it’s not purely a cosmetic treatment."

Patients with orthodontic problems can benefit from treatment at nearly any age. An ideal time for placement of braces is between 10 and 14 years of age, while the head and mouth are still growing and teeth are more accessible to straightening. However, because any adjustments in facial appearance can be traumatic to a child during these sensitive years, parents should discuss the matter with their children before braces are applied.

Click here What Is Statutory Rape? Statutory rape occurs when a person over the age of consent engages in sexual intercourse with someone under the statutory age of consent, also known as a minor. In most states, the age of consent has been arbitrarily designated by statute. However, this age of consent varies widely from state to state. Statutory rape is a strict liability crime, meaning that the consent of the younger person or mistake about their age is not a defense. What Is the Age of Consent? Federal law makes it criminal to engage in a sexual act with another person who is between the age of 12 and 16 if they are at least four years younger than you. Each state takes a different approach as the age of consent has ranged from 10 to 18. Some states, such as California and New York, set an age at which all sexual intercourse is considered statutory rape."

BBC News Online looks at the age of sexual consent around the world and how one nation may differ from another. Child marriages among the Roma hit the headlines in 2003Many wives, mothers and sisters of the accused in Pitcairn claim under-age sex was a traditional part of life for girls on the British Pacific colony. Sex was consensual, they say, and the charges of rape and assault unfair. But prosecutors argue there was an ingrained culture of using children for sex on the island - an offence under British law, which judges have ruled applies to the island as an overseas territory. In the UK, the age of sexual consent for women has been set at 16 since 1885, when campaigners fought to raise it from 13 to prevent child prostitution.

Other nations across the world have set the legal age for sexual consent at anything from 12 to 20. In New Zealand, where many Pitcairn residents go for jobs and education, the age of consent is fixed at 16. But travel in the opposite direction across the Pacific to Peru and the age of consent for girls is 12 - \"\"as long as there is no violence or intimidation\"\"."

"text": "\"Volume 3, Issue 4Special Analysis Minors and the Right to Consent to Health Care Heather D. Boonstra, Guttmacher Institute Elizabeth Nash, Guttmacher Institute First published online: August 1, 2000The notion that many minors have the capacity and, indeed, the right to make important decisions about health care has been well established in federal and state policy. Many states specifically authorize minors to consent to contraceptive services, testing and treatment for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, prenatal care and delivery services, treatment for alcohol and drug abuse, and outpatient mental health care. With the exception of abortion, lawmakers have generally resisted attempts to impose a parental consent or notification requirement on minors' access to reproductive health care and other sensitive services. Nevertheless, the movement to \"\"restore\"\" parental rights and to legislate parental control over minors' reproductive health care decisions remains active. Establishing rules for minors' consent for medical care has been one of the more difficult issues to face policymakers. On the one hand, it seems eminently reasonable that parents should have the right and responsibility to make health care decisions for their minor child. On the other hand, it may be more important for a young person to have access to confidential medical services than it is to require that parents be informed of their child's condition. Minors who are sexually active, pregnant, or infected with a sexually transmitted disease (STD) and those who abuse drugs or alcohol or suffer from emotional or psychological problems may avoid seeking care if they must involve their parents. Recognizing this reality, many states explicitly authorize a minor to make decisions about their own medical care, but balancing the rights of parents and the rights of minors remains a topic of debate. At the federal level, the focal point of debate over minors' access to confidential services has been the Title X family planning program."

Although aggravated assault is an independent offense, it has elements of aggravated assault and sexual assault offenses. The punishment for aggravated sexual assault is more severe than for other kinds of sexual assault. The definition of aggravated sexual assault, the aggravating factors, and the penalties for the crime can help you distinguish this offense from other forms of sexual crimes. A qualified attorney can help you demystify the difference between the implications of aggravated sexual assault and other sexual related crimes. IF YOU ARE FACING CRIMINAL CHARGES FOR AGGRAVATED SEXUAL ASSAULT, IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONSULT AN ATTORNEY. CONTACT THE LAW OFFICE OF BRETT PODOLSKY FOR EXPERIENCED LEGAL REPRESENTATION. What is Aggravated Sexual Assault? According to Texas’ Penal code, one is accused of sexual assault when they intentionally, recklessly or knowingly cause harm to another individual or threaten to harm another individual through a sexual attack without the consent of the individual."

"text": "\"Texas Dividing into Five States Was Texas authorized to divide into five states?7Claim: A clause in the document annexing Texas to the United States allowed for Texas to be divided into five different states. Status: Partly true. Origins: After several years of contentious debate, in 1845 the United States’ various political factions finally reached enough of a consensus to agree that the benefits of annexing Texas (nominally an independent republic ever since it had been wrested from Mexico after the decisive 1836 battle at San Jacinto, although neither Texas nor Mexico ever accepted the treaties signed a few weeks later) outweighed the pitfalls. As T. R. Fehrenbach noted in his history of Texas, the nascent republic was ill-suited to maintain itself as a sovereign nation, and the presence of such a tenuous political entity in the midst of North America posed a threat to the ambitions and interests of the United States: Sam Houston’s republic was a struggling frontier community of less than forty thousand people; it was a series of plantations and farms carved out of the Southern forests along the river bottoms extending up from the Gulf, with an utterly colonial economy. Most Texans were subsistence farmers, with a little barter on the side. The planters exported their cotton against imported goods; the balance of trade was yet adverse. The largest towns were frontier outposts with mud streets and at most a few thousand assorted people. There was no money economy, nor any money. There were no banks or improved roads or organized schools. There was no industry — everything from pins to powder had to be imported from the United States."

"text": "What is the marriage age without a parent's consent?by Free Advice staff The rules for how old you have to be to get married without a parent's consent vary from state to state. If you want to get married without parental consent, you need to be at least 18 years old in 48 of the 50 states in the United States. The two remaining states are Nebraska, where the marriage age is 19, and Mississippi where the marriage age is 21. If you do not meet these age requirements, you may be able to get married with the permission of your parents. Parties in California, Colorado, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Texas may get married at any age with parental consent. In Kentucky, the consent of a judge may also be needed and in Texas, marriage is not allowed under the age of 14 for males and 13 for females. In Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, North Dakota, Vermont, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia, you may get married with parental consent at age 16 or older. In Alaska, Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wyoming you may get married if you are under the age of 16 only if you have both parental and judicial consent. In Hawaii, parties may get married at the age of 15 with parental consent and/or the consent of a judge. Parental consent is needed in Alabama and Utah at age 14, and in Nebraska and Oregon, the age is 17."

The ovaries produce the eggs in the female reproductive system. Eggs grow, develop, and mature in the ovaries and then are released during ovulation, part of the monthly menstrual cycle that occurs during the childbearing years. Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form on the ovaries when the follicles (sacs) on the ovary that contain the egg mature, but do not release the egg into the fallopian tube where it would be fertilized. A woman can develop one cyst or many cysts."

"text": "Treatment & Coping Is treatment recommended in most scoliosis cases? In 90 percent of cases, scoliotic curves are mild and do not require active treatment. In the growing adolescent, it is very important that curves be monitored for change by periodic examination and standing x-rays as needed. Increases in spinal deformity require evaluation by an orthopaedic surgeon to determine if active treatment is required. What factors determine treatment for scoliosis? Patient age Bone age (the maturation of bone is not always the same as the chronological age)Degree of curvature Location of curve in the spine Status of menses/puberty Patient gender Curve worsening Associated symptoms such as back pain or shortness of breath What are treatment options for spinal deformities? The treatment options for scoliosis fall into three main categories: Observation of scoliosis Nonoperative treatment Surgical treatment How is treatment determined for adolescents? In planning a child's treatment, a doctor will take into account how severe the child's curve is and where it occurs in the spine. The child's age is also an important factor — if the child's spine is still growing, it will affect treatment choices. The doctor will determine how likely it is that the curve will get worse, and then suggest treatment options to meet the child's specific needs."

Last updated: April 2017Remember when your child was a baby and you swore her legs or trunk grew longer overnight, while she was asleep? Growth spurts – a rapid rise in height and weight – are most visible in the first year of life and around puberty, both periods when a tremendous amount of growth takes place in a short time. But growth spurts can occur other times, too, though they're less obvious. How children grow From age 2 to 4, kids add about 2 to 3 inches in height per year and up to 4 pounds in weight. ( From ages 1 to 3, growth takes place primarily in the legs and trunk. ) Your child's doctor monitors growth at checkups and plots the numbers on a graph (called a growth chart) to make sure his size is proportionate and healthy. Growth percentiles reveal your child's height and weight relative to other children of the same age and sex. For example, a child in the 75th percentile in height is taller than three-fourths of his peers.

Cancer refers to any one of a large number of diseases characterized by the development of abnormal cells that divide uncontrollably and have the ability to infiltrate and destroy normal body tissue. Cancer often has the ability to spread throughout your body. Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in the United States. But survival rates are improving for many types of cancer, thanks to improvements in cancer screening and cancer treatment. Symptoms Signs and symptoms caused by cancer will vary depending on what part of the body is affected. Some general signs and symptoms associated with, but not specific to, cancer, include: Fatigue Lump or area of thickening that can be felt under the skin Weight changes, including unintended loss or gain Skin changes, such as yellowing, darkening or redness of the skin, sores that won't heal, or changes to existing moles Changes in bowel or bladder habits Persistent cough or trouble breathing Difficulty swallowing Hoarseness Persistent indigestion or discomfort after eating Persistent, unexplained muscle or joint pain Persistent, unexplained fevers or night sweats Unexplained bleeding or bruising When to see a doctor Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any persistent signs or symptoms that concern you. If you don't have any signs or symptoms, but are worried about your risk of cancer, discuss your concerns with your doctor. Ask about which cancer screening tests and procedures are appropriate for you. Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic Causes Cancer is caused by changes (mutations) to the DNA within cells."

There are two ovaries in the female body, one situated on each side of the womb, attached to the end of the fallopian tubes. The ovaries are the place where eggs are produced ready for fertilization and the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone are created. Cysts can develop in one or both ovaries, in women of all ages, and can grow to the size of an orange or larger. Although most cysts remain harmlessly undiagnosed, occasionally they cause severe pelvic pain, particularly if they become large or if they twist and rupture. There are a few different types of cysts which form in the ovaries. The most common type is called functional cysts which occur during a woman's menstruation cycle. Cysts, (except for functional cysts), can be caused by cancer or hormone-related conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis. All types of cysts are more common during a woman's reproductive years and less common after menopause."

From disengaging responses like “I don’t want to talk about it,” to pushing away the spontaneous embraces and morning wake-up kisses, the growth spurt is not for the weary of heart. The world turns differently when your teen is growing fast. Even though the teen growth spurt is an inevitable phase of growth, knowing this doesn’t make the adjustment any easier, on parent or teen. Bettina over at The Lunch Tray blogged about the growing pains of feeding the teen here, and I have lamented on the lack of control parents have over what their teens eat on the Motherlode. What You Can Expect During The Teen Growth Spurt The teenage growth spurt varies by gender, with different timing of onset and rates of growth. Girls tend to experience their growth spurt earlier than boys, nearly two years earlier. The sexual maturation aspect is a big piece of the growth spurt."

However, many veterinarians will not perform onychectomy (declawing) at all even in the Us. Younger is the standard though as older cats tend to have more complications from the surgery. Tendonectomy is a popular replacement for declawing, yet I believe that it is fairly cruel as it fundamentally alters the function of the cat's foot and nails.

"text": "Fast and Abstinence. It is a traditional doctrine of Christian spirituality that a constituent part of repentance, of turning away from sin and back to God, includes some form of penance, without which the Christian is unlikely to remain on the narrow path and be saved (Jer. 18:11, 25:5; Ez. 18:30, 33:11-15; Joel 2:12; Mt. 3:2; Mt. 4:17; Acts 2:38). Christ Himself said that His disciples would fast once He had departed (Lk. 5:35). The general law of penance, therefore, is part of the law of God for man. The Church has specified certain forms of penance, both to ensure that the Catholic will do something, as required by divine law, while making it easy for Catholics to fulfill the obligation. Thus, the 1983 Code of Canon Law specifies the obligations of Latin Rite Catholics [Eastern Rite Catholics have their own penitential practices as specified by the Code of Canons for the Eastern Churches ]. Canon 1250 All Fridays through the year and the time of Lent are penitential days and times throughout the entire Church."

"text": "Answer by 13bohmk Confidence votes 38Catholics can eat anything they want on Fridays during Lent, so long as it is not flesh meat. Fish and seafood are allowed, thus many Catholics mark the season by seeking out and choosing to eat fish on Fridays as an observance of this rule during Lent. Eating fish is not required on Fridays during Lent, rather it is simply a deep-seated tradition in Catholic culture. There are some esoteric rules as to what kinds of meats are allowed and what are not, but those are trivial to the intent of rule, which is to promote a spirit of penitential discipline. For example, there are references around the internet which tell the story of how capybara, a bizarre mammal often dwelling near water, became recongized as an acceptable choice under the rules of Friday abstenence. It is a penetential discipline of the Roman Catholic Church to abstain from meat during Lent. Abstinence is a different, although related practice, from fasting. Fasting is the practice of limiting or foregoing all food and drink. Abstinence is simply the elimination of one or more classes of food-- meat or chocolate, for instance. Catholics between the ages of 18 and 60 are expected to fast (one full meatless meal, with no more than two supplements not equalling that first meal) on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday."

Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of both fast and abstinence. In the United States, all Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence. Lenten Rules for Fasting and Abstinence, Liguori Publications Abstinence from meats is to be observed by all Catholics 14 years old and older on Ash Wednesday and on all the Fridays of Lent. Fasting is to be observed on Ash Wednesday by all Catholics who are 18 years of age but not yet 59. [ note: more sources say \"\"not yet 60\"\"].

But this kind is not cast out but by prayer and fasting. In the time of Christ's Incarnation, practitioners of the Old Testament religion fasted or abstained on Mondays and Thursdays, but Christians opted to take Wednesdays (the day Our Lord was betrayed) and Fridays (the day Our Lord was crucified) as their penitential days. Wednesdays and Fridays are still days of penance in most Eastern Catholic Churches (and among the Orthodox), but in the Roman Church, only Fridays, as memorials to the day our Lord was crucified, remain as weekly penitential days on which abstinence from meat and other forms of penance are expected as the norm. 1 From the 1983 Code of Canon Law: Can."

Answer by Ryan Hilde Confidence votes 7640 Days of Lent Lent starts on Ash Wednesday, lasts 40 days not counting Sundays and ends on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter. There are 46 days because Sundays are not included during Lent. Some say that Sundays aren't counted in the 40 days of Lent, because every Sunday carries with it a part of the glow of Easter Sunday. So it's not all gloom and doom. But even on the Sundays, the theme of repentance (turning from our ungodly ways) holds true. When you repent, you please God whether you fast or not, and that is what most counts for Lent. Others say that Sundays are not included because Lent is a serious time but Sundays are always a day of celebration in the Christian Church.40 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Since early times carnivals have been accompanied by parades,masquerades, pageants, and other forms of revelry that had their origins in pre-Christian pagan rites,particularly fertility rites that were connected with the coming of spring and the rebirth of vegetation. One of the first recorded instances of an annual spring festival is the festival of Osiris in Egypt; it commemorated the renewal of life brought about by the yearly flooding of the Nile. In Athens, duringthe 6th cent. B. C., a yearly celebration in honor of the god Dionysus was the first recorded instance of the use of a float. It was during the Roman Empire that carnivals reached an unparalleled peak of civil disorder and licentiousness. The major Roman carnivals were the Bacchanalia, the Saturnalia,and the Lupercalia. In Europe the tradition of spring fertility celebrations persisted well into Christiantimes, where carnivals reached their peak during the 14th and 15th cent. Because carnivals aredeeply rooted in pagan superstitions and the folklore of Europe, the Roman Catholic Church wasunable to stamp them out and finally accepted many of them as part of church activity."

Palm Sunday is known as such because the faithful will often receive palm fronds which they use to participate in the reenactment of Christ's arrival in Jerusalem. In the Gospels, Jesus entered Jerusalem riding a young donkey, and to the lavish praise of the townspeople who threw clothes, or possibly palms or small branches, in front of him as a sign of homage. This was a customary practice for people of great respect. Palm branches are widely recognized symbol of peace and victory, hence their preferred use on Palm Sunday. The use of a donkey instead of a horse is highly symbolic, it represents the humble arrival of someone in peace, as opposed to arriving on a steed in war.

Legend has it that, centuries ago, a medieval pope with connections to Europe’s fishing business banned red meat on Fridays to give the industry a boost. That story isn’t true. Sunday school teachers have a more theological answer: Jesus fasted for 40 days and died on a Friday. Catholics honor both occasions by making a small sacrifice: avoiding animal flesh one day out of the week.

Fasting (one full meal and two smaller ones that together do not equal a full meal, no snacks between meals) starts at age 18 and also goes through age 59. Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and all Fridays in Lent are days of absteinence from meat and products such as soup or gravy that are flavored with meat. Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are manditory fast days. The only exceptions are if you have a health condition such as diabetes or if your job involves heavy work.

"text": "\"Why do Catholics abstain from meat? It’s not because meat tastes better than fish. It’s not because meat is (or ever was) a delicacy. It’s not because the apostles were fishermen. It’s not even because Christ offered his flesh upon the Cross on a Friday (at least, that isn’t the first reason). Christians fast from meat in order to overcome the passions of the flesh. We have always believed that flesh-meat causes an increase in temptations to lust and anger, and this is why we abstain from meat rather than from fish, wine, or other foods. No matter what anyone may tell you, a full plate at the Friday Fish Fry is in no way contrary to the true spirit of Lenten abstinence (though gluttony should, of course, be avoided). From what foods have Christians traditionally abstained? It may be somewhat surprising for modern-day Christians and Catholics of the West to learn that the traditional practice of the Church has included abstinence not only from flesh-meat, but also from all dairy products (e.g. milk and cheese), eggs, and even shell-fish."

How can eating meat, a tradition not started by Jesus or God, be considered a mortal sin? I feel that not eating meat is a good outward sign of trying to be like Jesus, but I don't think that it would seperate us from God's grace if we failed in this task. Answer by Fr. Robert J. Levis on 3/14/2001: Jason, The Church which shoulders the responsibility of getting us all saved and tucked away one day in Heaven, that Church has rights too. So it demands penance and mortification. It specifies what penance all Catholics must practice during the time of Lent. E.g. no flesh meat on some days. Since it has responsibilities, it also enjoys the rights to make demands. And so it does."

"text": "Chicago, May 7, 2015 – Sluggish restaurant traffic growth and stalled sales in the center aisles at grocery stores are evidence that U. S. consumers’ eating behaviors are evolving. The growing influence of Hispanics, Millennials going through life stages, aging boomers, smaller households, and the need for fresh and non-processed foods are among the factors driving the shift in what and how consumers eat, reports The NPD Group, a leading global information company. The NPD Group, which has been continually tracking all aspects of how consumers eat in- and away-from-home for over three decades, finds that among the changes in demographics and behaviors driving the evolution in eating behaviors are: Hispanics - The U. S. Hispanic population is growing exponentially compared to non-Hispanics. In 2014 U. S. Hispanics grew restaurant visits while non-Hispanic visits declined. In-home the Hispanic population combined with their adherence to dining traditions is beginning to influence national consumption patterns. Fresh and from scratch are the most common food forms during Hispanic meal preparation. Stove top preparation dominates Hispanic meals more than non-Hispanic meals due to the types of dishes being prepared. Millennials- In 2015 the Millennial generation is projected to surpass the Baby Boom generation as the nation's largest living generation, according to the U. S. Census Bureau population projections. Based on its sheer size, as Millennials go so goes the food and foodservice industries.

[ 1]Carnival (see other spellings and names) is a Western Christian and Greek Orthodox festive season that occurs before the liturgical season of Lent. [ 2] The main events typically occur during February or early March, during the period historically known as Shrovetide (or Pre-Lent). Carnival typically involves a public celebration or parade combining some elements of a circus, masks, and a public street party. People wear masks and costumes during many such celebrations, allowing them to lose their everyday individuality and experience a heightened sense of social unity. [ 3] Excessive consumption of alcohol, [4] meat, and other foods proscribed during Lent is extremely common. Other common features of carnival include mock battles such as food fights; social satire and mockery of authorities; the grotesque body displaying exaggerated features, especially large noses, bellies, mouths, and phalli, or elements of animal bodies; abusive language and degrading acts; depictions of disease and gleeful death; and a general reversal of everyday rules and norms.

It traditionally has meant anything of value coming from an estate, family or person that has been owned and is now sold again. This could mean that someone purchased a ring last year, decided to sell it, and the term \"\"estate\"\" might be applied to it. It could also refer to an elderly woman who opts to sell her great-grandmother's jewelry, and thus this jewelry might be of an age to be considered antique. Consequently, the term estate thus can have very little bearing on age or value. Vintage Jewelry Vintage is a term applied to objects or jewelry of some age. Usually people think of vintage in relation to items with an age of at least 25 years old, but again this is not consistent - it can vary from person to person or dealer to dealer. Vintage jewelry is frequently applied to costume jewelry from, say the 1950s, 1960s or 1970s. However, the term antique jewelry most often refers to items over 100 years old, therefore, anything newer may be termed vintage or estate. \""

Well, it can! But before we dive into the fascinating study of necklace clasps, it’s helpful to define the difference between antique and vintage jewelry. Antique jewelry is jewelry that is one hundred years old or older than today’s date. ( Yes, this means the definition is a moving target! FYI: Many antique dealers and collectors are currently snatching up Art Deco necklaces and other pieces from the 1920s. This is because a few years down the road, this highly coveted Art Deco jewelry will be considered “antique.” Therefore, it will garner an even a higher price than it already does today.) Vintage jewelry is anything younger than one hundred years but not less than ten years older than today’s date. For example, necklaces from 1915 through 2004 can be considered “vintage” in 2014."

When shopping for vintage and antique jewelry, whether on e Bay or in your local antique mall, it’s important to know the difference between these common phrases. Not all “Gold” is created equal. In order to get a real understanding of all these terms, you have to first understand some basics about gold itself. Gold Gold is an elemental metal. This means that pure gold is made up of nothing but gold atoms. Other examples of elemental metals include copper (made of nothing but copper atoms); iron (made of nothing but iron atoms) and aluminum (made of nothing but aluminum atoms). In its natural form, gold is orangish-yellow in color (sometimes called “buttery” yellow), has a bright shine (high luster), is very soft (it scratches easily) and is very malleable (it can be hammered and stretched easily with iron tools). Example of Elemental Gold In Its Natural “Nugget Form”When people talk about the “Price of Gold” or the “Spot Gold Price” or “Gold Bullion” – they are talking about pure elemental gold. Pure gold is so soft, however, that it is rarely ever used to make jewelry because it cannot hold up to daily use."

It has been mined from Afghanistan since the early 7th millennium BC, and it was discovered in ancient burial sites throughout the Caucasus, the Mehrgarh and even as far as the Republic of Mauritania. The funeral mask for the ancient Egyptian pharaoh 'King Tut' was even discovered to have been decorated with lapis lazuli. This historical stone has a name closely associated with its intense color. Its name was derived from the Latin word 'lapis' meaning 'stone', and from the Arabic and Persian word 'lazaward'. ' Lazaward\"\" was the Persian name for lapis stone, as well as the name of its mining location. In other parts of the world, words for 'blue' were named after the color of lapis, including the English word 'azure'; Italian 'azzurro'; Polish 'azur'; Spanish 'azur' and Romanian 'azuriu'. Today, lapis lazuli is still considered to be one of the most important opaque blue gemstones available. Lapis usually forms in crystalline marble through the geological process of contact metamorphism and due to its composition, it is technically defined as a rock rather than a mineral. It is primarily composed of lazurite, while the remaining composition is made up of sodalite, calcite, pyrite and other various minor constituents."

"text": "\"Fine Jewelry How to Buy Gold Jewelry Understanding Gold Terminology By Carly Wickell Updated 08/17/17Share Pin Email Baerbel Schmidt/Photodisc/Getty Images Gold jewelry never goes out of style, and for good reason, because gold is as wearer-friendly as it is beautiful. This precious metal is long lasting and retains its value over time, so buying gold jewelry is often considered an investment. When you have a piece of gold jewelry that is properly cared for, that jewelry can be passed down for generations and outlive all of us. Knowing how to buy gold jewelry like an industry professional will help you make the most of your purchase. Learn everything you need to know in this gold buying guide. How Gold Purity Impacts Value Chances are the ring on your finger is marked 18K, 14K, or 10K, with the K standing for karat, the system used to describe the percentage of pure gold an item contains. The higher the karat number, the higher the percentage of gold in your gold jewelry. Also, the higher the karat, the more expensive the item.24K gold is pure gold.18K gold contains 18 parts gold and 6 parts of one or more additional metals, making it 75% gold.14K gold contains 14 parts gold and 10 parts of one or more additional metals, making it 58.3% gold.12K gold contains 12 parts gold and 12 parts of one or more additional metals, making it 50% gold.10K gold contains 10 parts gold and 14 parts of one or more additional metals, making it 41.7% gold. 10K gold is the minimum karat that can be called \"\"gold\"\" in the United States.14K is the most commonly sold gold jewelry in the states. Purchasing jewelry less than 14K won't hold its value as much over time."

"text": "The occupation of a goldsmith is usually lumped together with jeweler occupations as they are both primarily involved in the design of jewelry that contains both gold and precious stones. In the Middle Ages, a goldsmith had the same reputation that a banker has acquired in modern times, because they were involved in refining and storing gold for future use. Though ancient goldsmiths worked together in guilds, the occupation is a largely solitary one now, with the US Occupational Outlook Handbook stating that 54% of goldsmiths are self-employed. Crafting precious metals into jewelry often begins by carving wax to make a model for casting the metal. This, along with the ability to cut and polish gemstones, means that a goldsmith has to have a high degree of precision in his or her work and fine attention to detail if he or she are designers of his or her own jewelry line. Soldering and engraving are also common tasks involved in the gold jewelry profession. As well, a goldsmith regularly works with other precious metals aside from gold, including silver and platinum. The degree of skill required to be a goldsmith can vary greatly. This depends on whether one works in a small business or part of a large jewelry manufacturing firm. Some goldsmith practices are also specialized services that deal in just finishing and polishing jewelry instead of making it from scratch."

"text": "How to Value and Date Your Vintage Cameo February 1, 2013 by Sergio · 5 Comments Cameo pins, rings and pendants are making a comeback on the jewelry scene. Of course, I don’t think they ever went anywhere, but jewelry trends are cyclical just like fashion and the cameo is stylish right now. I have been seeing more and more cameos, not just in my business, but in magazines and at auctions as well. There is nothing more beautiful than a cameo that is well made and authentic, but the truth is, these days it isn’t that easy to spot the cameos that are vintage and authentic. It used to be that you knew that if your cameo was hand carved from shell, agate, marble, coral or precious gemstones. But, today the fakes are so good, it’s very difficult to tell a real from a fake. How to Value Your Cameo There are certain things you can do to determine if you cameo is made of plastic or of shell or stone. One is the hot needle test, which is to place a hot needle against the cameo. If it is plastic, it will melt, and then you know it isn’t real. The next is to hit it against your teeth."

"text": "Pewter is an alloyed metal made primarily from tin, with a small component of lead, copper, bismuth, or antimony. It has been traditionally used to make tableware and decorative items. The metal is highly ductile, meaning that it can easily be worked, embossed, or carved. Its malleable nature has been harnessed for thousands of years, at least since Roman times, and the metal was at one point highly prized. Tin is the metal that appears in the highest concentration in pewter. Most is made up of at least 90% tin, although other alloys may include as little as 63%. The other metals in the alloy are used as hardeners, to make the pewter practical for daily use and metalworking. Classically, pewter has been cast in molten form, although it has also been worked in other ways. It is also highly tarnish resistant, although it does form a protective patina with age. In color, pewter starts out glossy and bright, almost like silver."

"text": "\"Low: $125-$500 Medium: $1,000-$2,000 High: $3,500-$5,000+E-mail Post Tweet Comments (15)Typical costs: For an engagement ring, on the low end, expect to pay $125 to $500 for a quarter carat, or smaller, solitaire diamond set in 14-karat gold, or for diamond alternatives such as other gemstones, moissanite or cubic zirconia. In the mid range, the cost would be $1,000 to $2,000 for mid- or high-quality solitaire diamond up to .75 carats in a simple platinum setting or maybe a carved or filigree 18K gold band. An example is this platinum diamond solitaire ring from Blue Nile.com [ 1] . And, at the high end, $3,500 to $5,500 buys a high-quality one-carat diamond set in 18-karat gold or platinum, such as this princess-cut diamond solitaire ring from Blue Nile.com [ 2] . Sometimes smaller side stones are included, such as in the \"\"round brilliant with pear sidestones\"\" ring from Tiffany & Co. Of course, prices can go much higher for a diamond larger than one carat, a center diamond flanked by diamond baguettes or a band with channel-set diamonds. The Gemological Institute of America [ 3] offers tips on how to make a wise purchase. Related articles: Wedding Rings, Wedding Dress, Groom's Suit or Tuxedo What should be included: Sizing is usually included. Additional costs: Like all valuable jewelry, engagement rings should be insured. Before buying insurance, get an independent \"\"replacement value\"\" appraisal and check to see whether your homeowner's insurance covers loss for reasons other than theft and, if so, what is the dollar limit. Check to see if you can add a rider to your insurance to more fully cover the ring."

This month marks the 35th anniversary of the implementation of the Medicare program. In light of this anniversary and the focus placed on the program by the Bush administration and Congress, EBRI has released a fact sheet of Medicare findings from the 2001 Health Confidence Survey (HCS), which is currently available at EBRI's Web site, www.ebri.org The full HCS survey results will be released in full this fall. The findings are grouped into four general topic areas: awareness, confidence, satisfaction, and reform: Awareness of Eligibility Age —Many Americans do not know at what age they will be eligible for Medicare benefits. Most Americans become eligible for Medicare at age 65 (approximately 15 percent of beneficiaries become eligible by reason of a disability or specific disease, rather than age). The eligibility age has remained constant since 1965, when the program was established; however, only 38 percent of Americans said they would be eligible for Medicare at age 65, while one-third (32 percent) said they didn't know (see attached chart). Confidence in Health Care —American seniors (those age 65 and older) are more concerned than Americans under age 65 about their ability to afford prescription drugs, both today and during the next 10 years, and prescription drugs are also their biggest concern. A third of seniors are not confident that they are able to afford prescription drugs today, and 41 percent of them are not confident that they will be able to afford prescription drugs in the next 10 years. Satisfaction With Health Care Received—The Medicare population is much more satisfied with various aspects of health care services received during the past two years than is the population under age 65. Only 5 percent of Americans ages 65 and older were not satisfied with their ability to choose their doctor or to get referrals to specialists; among those under age 65, 19 percent were not satisfied with their choice of doctors, and 17 percent were not satisfied with referrals."

In 2015, Medicare provides health insurance coverage to 55 million people: 46 million people ages 65 and older and 9 million people with permanent disabilities who are under age 65. 1The four different parts of Medicare have varying eligibility requirements, as described below. In general, coverage under Medicare Part A and Part B is automatic when a Medicare-eligible individual applies for Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits. Individuals can decline enrollment in Medicare Part B if they have other qualifying group coverage. If an individual qualifies for Medicare at age 65 but is not yet receiving Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, an application for Medicare is required to initiate Medicare coverage. Most people age 65 and older are eligible for Part A, as are some people under age 65 with permanent disabilities and those with ESRD or ALS. Age 65 and older: People age 65 and older qualify for Medicare if they are U. S. citizens or permanent legal residents with at least five years of continuous residence. Individuals qualify without regard to their medical history or preexisting conditions, and do not need to meet an income or asset test. Under age 65: Adults under age 65 with permanent disabilities are eligible for Medicare after receiving Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) payments for 24 months."

"text": "What Does the Letter After a Medicare Number Mean?by LAUREN BECKER Aug. 14, 2017Medicare is a complex federal insurance program available to people over the age of 65 years and people with certain disabilities. When you become eligible and receive your Medicare card, you will notice a number with a letter or letters at the end. Though it may be confusing, generally the letter suffix has no effect on your health care coverage. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Your Medicare Card Your red, white and blue Medicare card will include your name and gender; whether you are enrolled in Parts A and B, which refer to hospital and medical coverage; and the effective dates of your coverage. Your card will also include your Medicare number. Your Medicare Number Your Medicare number may also be called your Medicare claim number or your health insurance claim number. It is comprised of your Social Security number, or the Social Security number of the person through whom you became eligible for Medicare, and a letter or letters at the end. The letter suffix refers to the manner in which you became eligible for Medicare. Codes There are more than 30 letter codes that may be attached to a Social Security number to make a Medicare number with A being the most common. An A at the end of your Medicare number indicates that you receive Medicare because you paid into the program while you were working."

This part is pretty simple: Medicare is a health insurance program for people age 65 and over, people under the age of 65 with certain disabilities, and people of any age with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Are you wondering if you're eligible? Let's take a closer look. If you're turning 65 you can enroll in Medicare. Enrollment begins three months before the month you turn 65, the month of your birthday, and three months after your birth month. Whether that birthday is approaching or if you’re already 65, you’re eligible if: You (or your spouse) have worked for 10 years in Medicare-covered employment, and…You're a U. S. citizen or permanent resident for at least five years. Even if you're not collecting Social Security yet, you're eligible to join at age 65 or later. If you're under 65 and have a disability you’re eligible if: You're a U. S. citizen or permanent resident for at least five years, and…You have a disability or End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), and you get disability benefits from Social Security or certain disability benefits from the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) for 24 months."

Medicare is no different. The senior entitlement program that currently provides health insurance for over 58 million people in the U. S. comes with its own mile-long list of rules to follow. Forgetting or ignoring this list could keep you from maximizing your benefits. Even worse, it could leave you on the hook for thousands of dollars in unpaid claims or facing high monthly premiums with added penalties. There are plenty of myths surrounding Medicare, but the following myths could cost you – in more ways than one. Here are eight misconceptions that you might believe about Medicare and the truth behind them.#1 – You can sign up or make changes anytime. Like any other type of health insurance, Medicare has enrollment periods. The primary enrollment period starts three months before the month you turn 65. If your birthday is June 12, then your enrollment period starts on March 1."

A: Quick Answer According to The Free Dictionary, a senior citizen is anyone over the age of 60, or in some cases, over the age of 65. Once a person reaches the 60 years old, they typically retire from the workplace, making them a senior citizen. Continue Reading Keep Learning How Old Does Someone Have to Be to Receive a Pension?

Credit: Hero Images Hero Images Getty Images Full Answer The Social Security Administration considers adults born after 1937 to be of retirement age when they turn 62. Those born after 1960 are able to claim retirement benefits at age 67. Individuals can file for Medicare benefits to help with health care costs when they are 65 years old. Many restaurants, hotels and events offer a senior citizen discount, but each has its own age requirement, and some are as low as 55 years old."

"text": "By Jessica Remitz While most of us like to remember our dogs as the squirmy, floppy puppies we brought home at just a few months old, they don't stay young forever. The best way to help keep your dog as healthy as possible later in life is to recognize signs of aging and learn more about common ailments that can affect senior dogs. What is a 'Senior Dog'?“Though many old guidelines talk about seven dog years being equal to one human year, the size of the dog really depends on the extent to which you can follow that rule,” said Dr. Heidi Lobprise, DVM, DAVDC and spokesperson for the International Veterinary Senior Care Society. “ For a dog between 20 and 40 pounds these guidelines are more effective, but it’s not uncommon to see a geriatric Great Dane at age seven or a Chihuahua in its twenties,” Dr. Lobprise said. In most cases, dogs can be considered senior between five and ten years old. According to the Journal of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), the term “senior” can describe an aging pet, but the number of years considered to be “senior” varies and other identifiers like the state of their organs, species and breed can also help determine if your pet has reached old age. “ The terms 'geriatric' and 'senior' also differ,” Dr. Lobprise said. “ While a dog may be considered senior, they’re likely still healthy or just beginning to experience signs of aging. Geriatric animals are at the older end of the aging spectrum and often experience more health-related issues. ”Signs of Aging for Senior Dogs“There is a wide range of factors to help you recognize signs of aging in your pet — many of them similar to the signs of aging in people,” Dr. Lobprise said."

"text": "What age is someone considered a senior? By Miriam Yosowich There is no set age at which a person is considered a senior in Canada. Generally, for specific purposes the age at which senior discounts start is usually 55. However, for many government benefits you have to be at least 60 or 65 years of age in order to qualify. Most commonly for the purposes of government benefits, the age of qualification for senior’s benefits is currently 65. For example, if someone wants a seniors discount on public transit, then you would have to consult with the public transit agency as to how old you have to be in order to be eligible for the discount. For example, in Winnipeg you have to be 65 years or older to get a discount. There are also retail benefits a senior can qualify for in order to get a discount, but that is store or chain specific. Federal government benefits Canada Pension Plan In order for you to qualify to collect CPP, you have to be at least 60 years of age. If you apply to receive CPP benefits at 60, then the amount you receive will be smaller than had you applied at 65 or later."

So some preliminary research indicates that once you make it to 85 and you're lively in body and mind, you might be in the clear until something like falling, the flu, etc gets you. ( Note though that the incidence of Alzheimer's doubles each year after 80.) Age 75+ Senior living industry - most senior living organizations run their zip code analysis on the income-qualified population over age 75 Age 65+ Medicare says you are elderly and age-qualified to be what they call a \"\"beneficiary\"\" at age 65 Age 50+ AARP in the U. S. starts at this age Again, these are conventional ages and quite U. S. centric!

"text": "When Home Care Isn’t Enough: Evaluating Senior Living Options13 Comments Follow Comments By Eric Flusche| Last Updated 6.12.2017Unfortunately, wisdom isn't the only thing that aging brings. It also brings challenges that can sometimes make staying in a cherished home difficult, if not impossible. When a person faces these challenges, knowing where they need to live is not easy to decipher. As a director for an agency whose mission it is to help seniors stay in their homes for as long as possible, I know that sometimes, despite valiant efforts, the decision to move a person into a setting that is better equipped to meet their needs has to be made. On many occasions it is not the senior, but rather a family member, who is making the decision to move a senior from the home where they have created so many memories. This is certainly not an easy decision for the caregiver, particularly when they have made a promise to “never put them in a home. ”The decision for a person to move out of their home and into another setting will never be an easy one, but it can be made less difficult. Planning Is Crucial As with many things in life, things usually go much smoother when you plan and do your research. Plan, plan, plan —it can't be said enough. Although we may joke about getting older, very few of us actually plan on it happening."

For many, it is not legal to sell a puppy until the age of 8 weeks old. Tiny Tim Capone at 18 weeks old Some states have additional guidelines, such as Kansas and Missouri that additionally state that not only must the 2 month mark be reached, the pup must also be fully weaned from the dam (mother). There are a couple of states in the US such as Virginia and Wisconsin that dictate the puppy be no younger than 7 full weeks old. As you can imagine, the main reason for this law is to protect the dog. Much of this is in regard to physical health , although being pulled away from dam and litter-mates at too young of an age is emotionally taxing as well. Sometimes, a puppy will be a bit older before going to his new home. There may be an instance when a breeder feels that a Chihuahua has not grown as expected and being a bit undersized, will want to wait an additional week to allow the puppy to gain a bit more weight. When a pup is transported long distance to a new home, usually via airplane, some breeders will want the Chihuahua to be 9 or even 10 weeks old so that the dog will be better able to handle the physical and emotional stress that can develop during delivery."

Whether a plan is needed for you or a loved one, it’s extremely imperative to select the best possible policy you can, because it’s likely the last policy you or the insured will ever own. We focus on three key factors when attempting to find the perfect life insurance policy for an aging person: Value Product Type Company Selection You’re best served in reviewing your options in this order. We focus on value first because, at the end of the day, any life insurance plan is about leverage; pay less now for more benefit later. Second, the type of product you choose makes all the difference in making sure the plan you get meets your value goals. And last, the company you decide to go with needs to be trustworthy, affordable, and offer the product which suits your needs best. Navigating This Guide Why Life Insurance Is So Important For Seniors How To Get The Best Value, Every Time How To Select The Proper Product Type What Makes A Company The Right Fit Should You Consider A Rider How A Life Insurance Agent Can Help How To Speed Up The Application Process Sample Rates You Might Expect Advanced Planning For Larger Estates & Gifting Closing Notes Why Life Insurance For Seniors Is So Important When comparing senior life insurance plans, the very first thought should be tied to why you want the policy in the first place. There are several reasons to buy life insurance, however, someone aged 60 or older is going to have a very different set of needs and wants than a young, married couple with adolescent children. Recognizing this, having a defined purpose for obtaining coverage is going to make all the difference in what you should ultimately buy. Here are just a few reasons you might be considering: Simple Burial Costs Pay Outstanding Debts Estate Taxes Pension Maximization Legacy, or Gift Giving Charitable Donation For most, basic burial costs are the primary concern."

For example, upscale exclusive senior communities are sometimes called by the following names: age restricted senior communities, active adult communities, retirement resort communities, golf resort communities or adult retirement communities. As another example consider assisted living. Depending on the state in which they are licensed, assisted living facilities could be called by one or a number of following names: Alternative care, Residential care, Personal care, Adult congregate living care, Board and care, Adult living facilities, Supported care, Enhanced care, Community based retirement facilities, Adult homes, Sheltered housing, Retirement residences or Adult foster care. In some states the term \"\"assisted living \"\" or the term \"\"residential care services\"\" encompasses all of the above titles and in other states certain of the above titles are carved out and licensed for specific services of their own. Assisted living is commonly the term that experts use to define all of these services. But, to further add to the confusion, states that license the concept under the term \"\"assisted living\"\" define this service in all kinds of various ways. Some states allow for unlimited personal services and for help with activities of daily living, and even allow limited nursing care or special waivers for more continuous nursing care. Other states are more restrictive about what kind of services assisted living can perform."

"text": "\"What is the Right Age for Assisted Living? By Errin Estrada, Staff Writer For many adults today, a moment comes when they need to make a decision about their future living arrangements. This typically means choosing between staying in their current home or moving to a new home, such as an assisted living facility. Today's assisted living facilities are entirely different than their earlier predecessors and more and more senior adults are choosing to move to these facilities on their own at a younger age. There are other seniors who need a little coaxing from family and friends to transition to a senior living facility. No matter whose idea it may be, there are millions of families that discuss the idea of assisted living each and every day and one of the biggest questions that parents tend to have is when the right age for assisted living may be. The truth of the matter is there is no one right age to transition to assisted living. Every person and every situation is different. There are some adults who choose to transition at a younger age around the time when they retire, while others may wait until they are in their 80s or 90s. There is not a right or wrong time."

At Denny's, you become eligible for the Senior Discount Menu when you are 55 (a good price, but more like a kids meal portion, which is great for folks like me that don't eat large portions anyways). To be eligible for Social Security Retirement, you can retire early and receive a portion but not full benefits at the age of 62. The theater in my town offers Senior Discounts if you are 60. The Goodwill and other stores have Senior Discount Days for people over the age of 55. My insurance company offers Senior Discounts for those over the age of 50 and an even bigger discount on auto insurance if you have a clean driving record and a slightly smaller discount if it isn't so clean, but you take a \"\"safe driver\"\" course. The Humane Society in my town offers senior discounts for registering your pet when you are 55 unless you are disabled and are collecting SSI, then they offer the discount if you can produce an award letter to prove the disability. Most national chain stores offer discounts to Seniors if they are 60 or above on given days. Therefore, I would say that relatively speaking, it's 50 and above when folks start considering you a Senior Citizen.

I remember the first time someone called me ma'am and I was about twenty. I'm sure I looked very old. Elderly seems to have a bit of a bad connotation assigned to it and implies really old. Some people are elderly a lot younger than others and the closer you get to your 60 the older the elderly line moves. You call me elderly and you're probably in for a very bad time. Even social security doesn't start until 65 or 67 and older now so those folks are viable members of society and hold their place just like you should be doing."

"text": "\"Jerry Crespi's answer pretty well covers it, except to note that many businesses in the US extend Senior Citizen Discounts to people as young as 30. Clearly, the concept of Senior Citizen is not sharply defined. Maybe that's because the term \"\"Senior Citizen\"\" arose as a nicer way of saying \"\"Old People\"\" - and people get old at dramatically different rates. And I never lose sight of the fact that many people are denied the luxury of growing old at all. I'm less than three months away from my 72nd birthday. Sometimes it serves my purposes to tell people \"\"I'm an old fart\"\" but the truth of the matter is I don't generally feel old. Not mentally, anyway. Even at my age, I look forward to future challenges and accomplishments as much as I did when I was 25. My thought processes are different than they were then, but that is because so much additional experience contributes to shaping them as they are today. I have much younger friends who seem to be running out of time, and I have older friends who are as healthy, fit and mentally active as I am."

Return to Table of Contents Of the many aspects of life that affect seniors, perhaps none is as important as taxation. The tax system in Michigan offers several advantages to the senior citizen. In addition to their regular personal deduction of $2,900, persons 65 years or older are entitled to an additional exemption of $1,900 on their state income tax returns. Moreover, senior citizens are not required to pay state income tax on pension benefits received from a public retirement system in Michigan, a federal retirement system, or a public retirement system of another state or any of its political subdivisions if the laws of the other state permit a similar or reciprocal deduction or exemption. For the 2001 tax year, pension benefits from private pensions are deductible to a maximum of $36,090 ($72,180 on a joint return), and seniors age 65 or older who do not deduct pension benefits may deduct part of their dividend and interest income. For the 2001 tax year, this deduction has been raised to $8,048 ($16,095 on a joint return). Financial Hardship Property Tax Exemptions Return to Table of Contents Recent legislation provides homeowners meeting the federal poverty income standards the opportunity to apply for an exemption of the payment of property taxes due to financial hardship. If you think that you may be eligible, you may file a claim with the township supervisor or board of review on a form provided by your local assessor. Homestead Property Tax Credit Return to Table of Contents Seniors are entitled to a homestead property tax credit equal to up to 100% of the amount their property taxes exceed 3.5% of their income, up to $1,200."

"text": "\"Alzheimer's, Dementia & Mental Health Seniors face high risk of Alzheimer’s, dementia from anticholinergic drugs Senior citizens often take anticholinergic drugs, which are commonly prescribed for a wide range of common health conditions Feb. 17, 2015 – There is nothing that strikes fear in the hearts of senior citizens more than the risk of dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease in particular. A recent study found, however, a significantly increased risk for developing dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease from taking commonly used medications with anticholinergic effects, which are taken frequently by older adults, often unknowingly. They even include nonprescription medicines like Benadryl. But the stern warning about anticholinergics significantly increasing this risk among seniors failed to get the attention it probably deserves. Senior citizens often take anticholinergic drugs, which are commonly prescribed for a wide range of health conditions. Among the most widely used anticholinergics are antihistamines, including over-the-counter allergy and cold preparations and sleeping aids used regularly by elderly people. “Older adults should be aware that many medications - including some available without a prescription, such as over-the-counter sleep aids - have strong anticholinergic effects,” said Shelly Gray, Pharm D, MS, the first author of the report.

As a senior citizen on a fixed income you can go to college and take tuition-free classes and even get a degree. According to the American Council on Education, approximately 60 percent of accredited schools will waive tuition for adults over age 60, as of 2008. Some state colleges require you to be to 65 to qualify for senior status. Free classes for seniors are often offered on a space-available basis.

"text": "Home Legal Answers Seniors / Elder Law General Information At what age is someone considered a senior? At what age is someone considered a senior? Region: Ontario Answer Number: 730There is no generally accepted age that determines when one becomes a senior citizen. It is an important question, though, since seniors may be entitled to a variety of benefits ranging from shopping discounts to government benefits. Basically, a private organization, such as a social club or retail outlet, can make its own rules for determining “seniors” status. Often, 55 is the age someone is considered eligible for a seniors’ discount. Federal and provincial seniors status Federal and provincial governments may also make their own rules. For example, some government services for senior citizens are available as soon as an individual attains 55 years of age. Certain government financial benefits, however, such as the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), the Old Age Security Benefit (OAS), and the Ontario Drug Benefit (ODB), often don’t become available until a person is at least 60 or 65, depending on the type of benefit and the eligibility requirements. More information about services and programs available to seniors in Ontario, can be found from the Ontario Seniors’ Secretariat."

"text": "\"Home » Juror Information Jury Service: Qualifications, Exemptions and Excuses Jury service is a way for United States citizens to participate in the judicial process. It is one of the most important civic duties you can perform. To be qualified for jury service a person must:be a United States citizen;be at least 18 years of age;reside primarily in the judicial district for one year;be adequately proficient in English to satisfactorily complete the juror qualification form;have no disqualifying mental or physical condition;not currently be subject to felony charges punishable by imprisonment for more than one year; andnever have been convicted of a felony (unless civil rights have been legally restored)There are some groups of persons who are exempt from jury service:full-time paid members of the armed forces on active duty;full-time paid members of professional fire and police departments; andfull-time paid \"\"public officers\"\" of federal, state or local governments. In this district, the following additional persons may be excused upon request from jury service:persons who are over age 70;persons who have served on a grand or petit jury within a 2-year period; andvolunteer safety personnel, such as persons who serve without compensation as firefighters or members of a rescue squad or ambulance crew for a public agency. Other Excuses if Summoned for Service Other persons who are summoned to report for jury service may ask to be excused temporarily or permanently from service on the grounds that service would cause undue hardship or extreme inconvenience. To request such an excuse, you must submit a Request for Jury Service Postponement/Excuse form. The form will be available to you to download after you complete the summons questions using the court's online e Juror program, or you may contact the court's jury clerk to request that a form be sent to you. All requests to be excused should be submitted to the court by the deadline that will be provided in the jury instructions you will receive if you are summoned for service. This will allow the court to consider your request before you are required to report for service. The status of any request will be available by calling the court’s Automated Jury Information System (AJIS)."

"text": "Handbook For Jurors Trial by jury has been a cornerstone of freedom and justice for centuries. The Oregon and United States constitutions protect the right of citizens to a jury trial as vital to the administration of justice. Your public service as a juror is one of the most important functions of our democracy. The proper and efficient functioning of the justice system requires jurors to exercise intelligence, integrity, sound judgment and complete impartiality. This handbook has been written to help you better understand jury service in Oregon’s state courts. It will supplement the juror orientation process used in your judicial district. A Summons for Jury Service Why did I receive a summons for jury service? A master list of potential jurors for each county is compiled annually, which is drawn from lists of registered voters, licensed drivers and other approved sources. At least two percent of the county’s population is on the master list. Names are then drawn randomly from the list, and those people are summoned for jury service."

"text": "August 27th, 2012 • by Patrick G. Hubbard • No Comments For many people, a letter from their county clerk’s office containing a summons for jury duty brings thoughts of inconvenience or frustration. I am often asked how to avoid jury duty. The following is useful information for those notified to appear for jury duty. DO I HAVE TO DO JURY SERVICE? The answer is generally yes unless you are advanced in years, have small children to care for or have a disability making it impossible to serve. However, in nearly forty years of practicing law I have never heard of anyone being punished for failing to respond to a jury summons for state or local courts. On the other hand, most people will at some point have a legal matter that has the potential for a jury trial. In the event that you ever need a jury to decide your dispute, wouldn’t you want people such as yourself serving as jurors? Our system of justice is unique in the world and much of its integrity and effectiveness depends on having responsible citizens serve on juries. I WANT TO SERVE, BUT I CAN’T RIGHT NOW."

A verdict in a civil case may be a finding for the plaintiff or for the defendant. A verdict in a criminal case finds the defendant guilty or not guilty. Individuals who appear in Court solely for the purpose of being excused are not paid the mileage and attendance fees normally associated with Jury Service. What is a GRAND jury? Answer: A GRAND jury does not determine guilt or innocence, but whether there is a probable cause to believe that a crime was committed. The evidence is normally presented only by an attorney for the government. The GRAND jury must determine from the evidence whether a person should have formal charges filed by the government."

ANSWER: Your name was randomly selected by computer from voter registration lists, tax lists, and Department of Motor Vehicle records in accordance with procedures established by the judges of this Court and in full compliance with all relevant federal statutes and court rules. Prospective jurors received a questionnaire by mail to be completed and returned to the Court. The names of qualified persons are placed on a list from which the Court randomly selects its prospective jurors. See our Public Jury Notice. QUESTION 2: What is a Petit Jury? ANSWER: A PETIT jury is a trial jury for both civil and criminal cases. The PETIT jury listens to the evidence offered during a trial and returns a verdict. A verdict in a civil case may be a finding for the plaintiff or for the defendant. A verdict in a criminal case finds the defendant guilty or not guilty."

And since most federal courthouses are located in major metropolitan areas, many people may find that they need to travel great distances to perform their civic duty. As for paying the costs upfront, it has been my experience that you are told to call the night before to find out if you even have to show up. Sometimes you have to go to the courthouse but sometimes you don't. If you do have to go in, there's a chance that you still may not be selected for a jury. It depends on their caseload and whether or not you are picked as a suitable juror for a specific case. If your daughter doesn't show, she will be held in contempt and may face jail time."

"text": "Jury Service Document last updated 3/17/2014. Also watch the Ohio Judicial Conference Jury Service Video Brochure. Why is jury service so important? A juror is a very important person in our legal system because our justice system is based on the belief that a just and fair result in court comes from having disputes settled by our fellow citizens. Very few of us ever have to go to court as plaintiffs or defendants, but when we do, we want good, honest people to listen to the evidence and decide our cases fairly. Therefore, when we are called to serve on a jury, we have an obligation to our fellow citizens to honor the summons and appear at court. Some cases may be more important than others, but to the parties involved, the case can be life-changing, and they deserve to have it decided by honest and impartial jurors. How are jurors selected? In Ohio, persons are selected for jury service by random drawing from either a list of registered voters or a combined list of the registered votes and the list of licensed drivers residing in the county or city that the court serves. Jury trials are held in the United States district courts, the common pleas court of each county, the municipal courts, the county courts and in some cases, juvenile and probate courts."

On Jan. 20, 2000, Jasper was sentenced to die for the Nov. 28, 1998, robbery-related capital murder of David Alejandro. FACTS OF THE CASEThe Texas Court of Criminal Appeals described the murder as follows: David Alejandro owned and operated a music recording studio where musicians could have their music professionally recorded for a fee. This business required the use of various pieces of electronic equipment such as computers, soundboards and microphones. Jasper and some of his friends frequently recorded their rap music at the studio. At some point, Jasper decided to steal Alejandro’s equipment in order to make money from its sale. Aware that Alejandro would be able to identify him, Jasper also decided to kill Alejandro so that there would be no witnesses. He enlisted the help of two friends to assist in removing the heavy equipment from the studio. On November 21, 1998, Jasper purchased large bags from a [sporting goods] store. A week later, he and his accomplices drove two vans to Alejandro’s studio."

But what exactly defines your menopausal years, and what can you do to make the transition as seamless as possible? Typically in your early 50s, menopause occurs when you’ve gone a full year without a period. ( The exact time frame varies greatly, with an average range of 45-55). There are so many things you can do to help your body through this change even years in advance. One of the best ways to take charge of your hormonal health is through your diet. Let’s explore the specific hormonal changes that occur during this time and the best foods to eat during your perimenopausal and menopausal years. Perimenopause vs. Menopause Few people actually talk about the difference between perimenopause and menopause, often lumping them together under the umbrella term as menopause. But the truth is, you go through two distinct changes during each of these times. Perimenopause —known as the change before the change—is when you’re most likely to start noticing some of the symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings, and it can start as early as 10 years prior to menopause."

Show your support A common question that is often asked concerning the menopause is; can I still go through the menopause if I’ve had a hysterectomy? Our menopause expert Eileen Durward explains the different between a complete and incomplete hysterectomy and how these can affect you during the menopause. An introduction to hysterectomies and menopause The menopause is the time in a woman’s life when the ovaries stop working. Levels of oestrogen and progesterone drop, her ovaries stop releasing eggs and she does not experience any more periods. The average age for these events to take place is 51 years but menopause can occur ‘normally’ anywhere between the ages of 45 and 55. A hysterectomy, the surgical procedure of removing the womb (or uterus), can cause a premature menopause. This depends on the type of operation performed. There are two main types of hysterectomy – total (complete) and sub-total (incomplete). If you have already gone through the menopause and need a hysterectomy, it is unlikely that you will experience any new or additional menopause symptoms as a result of surgery, no matter what type of hysterectomy is performed."

Overview The menopause is when a woman stops having periods and is no longer able to get pregnant naturally. Periods usually start to become less frequent over a few months or years before they stop altogether. Sometimes they can stop suddenly. The menopause is a natural part of ageing that usually occurs between 45 and 55 years of age, as a woman's oestrogen levels decline. In the UK, the average age for a woman to reach the menopause is 51. However, around 1 in 100 women experience the menopause before 40 years of age. This is known as premature menopause or premature ovarian insufficiency. Symptoms of the menopause Most women will experience menopausal symptoms.

And, health care professionals do not always have the answer to the question, \"\"What age does menopause start?\"\" The truth is that every living physical body is as unique as every individual's personality and there are no specific ages or times when the body begins the process of hormone reduction to terminate the child bearing phase of life. However, there are generalities that can be applied to the physical time clock and there are definite indicators that will let a woman know that her hormone production is decreasing. It will be very important for each woman to discuss the changes in her body with a doctor and make no assumptions. Doctors will also need to listen carefully to a woman's concerns, never assuming that she may be too young for menopause or that the change of life is the reason for a middle aged woman's physical or emotional concerns. Too many other illnesses mirror menopausal symptoms and it will be necessary to obtain a complete physical examination when any of the following symptoms occur. A woman can begin to suspect that she is entering into perimenopause, which is the very beginning stages of the change of life, when she skips a period for no apparent reason. There are other factors that can contribute to monthly irregularity, such as stress, diet, and extreme exercise, but once these other factors have been ruled out, a woman should speak with her doctor about the possibility of perimenopause.

In the US alone, it is estimated that 6000 women reach menopause each day. In order to deal with the physical and emotional changes that come with this time in your life, you can take simple steps to ease the symptoms. Here are Intimina’s ten useful tips on dealing with menopause.1. Reduce hot flushes with acupuncture Acupuncture, an ancient Chinese remedy, is associated with improvements in hot flushes and has been shown to provide a sense of tranquility in menopausal women. Both the WHO and the National Institutes of Health (US) recognize acupuncture as a helpful part of a treatment plan for many illnesses, including menopausal symptoms. Besides acupuncture, there are many other ways to stay cool and relieve hot flashes.2. Boost your mood with Omega 3Omega 3 fatty acids not only fight heart disease, they are also believed to be a mood stabilizer. Add the extra boost of Omega 3 to your diet by consuming fish such as tuna, salmon or trout. Flaxseed is also a good source of Omega 3, and wait, here’s the bonus: Studies have shown that flaxseed was not only able to reduce mood disturbances, but also the incidence of hot flushes and vaginal dryness in menopausal women.3."

The word comes from the Greek mens, meaning monthly, and pausis, meaning cessation. Menopause is part of a woman's natural aging process when her ovaries produce lower levels of the hormones estrogen and progesterone and when she is no longer able to become pregnant. Unlike a woman’s first menstruation, which starts on a single day, the changes leading up to menopause happen over several years. The average age for menopause is 52. But menopause commonly happens anytime between the ages of 42 and 56. A woman can say she has begun her menopause when she has not had a period for a full year. What is ‘perimenopause’?‘Perimenopause’ refers to the several years before menopause when a woman may begin experiencing the first signs of her menopausal transition. But many people use the term ‘menopause’ for both the perimenopausal years as well as the few years following menopause."

"text": "What Age Does Menopause Occur? Some women may look forward to menopause, while others may feel a sense of trepidation. It certainly isn’t called a “change of life” for no reason. When you hit menopause, your menstrual cycles come to an end. That means no more bleeding and no more ovulation. After your cycles end, you are no longer fertile. You can also expect quite a few other physical and psychological changes as you enter a new phase of life. There are a couple of reasons why you may be trying to establish when menopause is likely to occur: You want to conceive a child, and are trying to plan your future. Maybe you are already in your 30s or your 40s, and you are not sure how much time you have left before the opportunity is gone forever. You have a hormonally sensitive condition, and you are aware that menopause may bring additional drastic changes to your health situation."

Show your support It is inevitable that most of us have probably perceived the menopause as an end to a vicious cycle of stomach cramps and abdominal pain. Unfortunately, due to fluctuating hormones, it is still possible to experience period pain without actually getting a period. In this page, our menopause expert Eileen Durward helps you to understand this phenomenon and explains how herbal remedies can help alleviate spasms and discomfort. An introduction to period pain and menopause Most women experience period pain at some stage during their life. It can be a common symptom among menstruating women and part of PMS (Pre-menstrual syndrome). However, as you approach the menopause, period pain may become worse again. One worrying symptom of the menopause is experiencing period pain, but having no periods. However disconcerting this may be, it is a common experience.

However, some women experience menopause from as early as 35 years of age. Meanwhile others have to wait until 60 in order for their menstrual periods to stop completely. Menopause is the time of life when a woman has had no menstrual period for a period of 12 months. When Will You Reach Menopause? Trying to predict when a woman will reach menopause is dependent on a number of factors. And even then, there could still be individual factors that change the expected time a woman will reach menopause. One of the most important factors is the age at which her mother, and the other female members of her family (sisters, grandmother, etc. ), reached menopause."

Menopause is when a woman’s menstrual periods permanently end. It happens because, as a woman ages, her ovaries make fewer female hormones (estrogen and progesterone). These are the hormones that regulate your menstrual cycle. The timing of actual menopause is different for each woman. It’s normal for menopause to occur any time from age 40 to age 59.

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.

By Liz Tomas D not use a forward facing car seat until the child is the proper age or weight. Of the several types of car seat available, the two most common are the rear facing and the forward facing. The car and size of your child dictate which to use. Rear facing car seats are for infants and toddlers. Once the child reaches a specific size then she can be in a forward facing seat. Federal law says all passengers must wear a restraint but states vary in the specific. Age The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) offers guidelines for parents on car seat usage, saying once a child is 2 years old he can use a forward facing seat that has a harness. If you are using a convertible car seat then change the seat from rear facing to forward. The age of 2 is a general recommendation."

"text": "\"Car Seats & Strollers Kids Activities & Play Baby Products How Long to Keep Your Baby in a Rear-Facing Car Seat By Heather Corley Updated 04/05/18Share Pin Email Aurelie and Morgan David de Lossy / Getty Images Many parents ask how long their baby should stay in a rear-facing car seat. Actually, there's not an exact timeline! The rule of thumb now is that babies should be in rear-facing car seats for as long as possible, to the limits of the car seat. Riding rear-facing until at least age 2, and then beyond if possible, has big safety advantages that parents should strongly consider. In fact, the most recent study on this subject shows that toddlers are up to five times safer if they remain rear-facing until age two. Turning baby's car seat around isn't a milestone to rush on. It's actually a step down in safety, so don't be in a hurry to make the big switch!The Old Advice You may have heard that babies can ride forward-facing at one year old or 20 pounds from many well-meaning sources. That's the old standard, though. All children are safer if they remain in a rear-facing car seat beyond a year. Thanks to higher rear-facing weight limits on car seats, nearly all toddlers can remain rear-facing to age 2 and beyond."

Kids who have only been rear-faced will most likely not be bothered ( Parenting.com) -- In a new policy statement published in the April 2011 issue of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Pediatrics now advises parents to keep toddlers in rear-facing car seats until age 2, or until they exceed the height or weight limit for the car seat, which can be found on the back of the seat. Previously, the AAP advised parents to keep kids rear-facing as long as possible, up to the maximum limit of the car seat, and this has not changed. But it also cited one year and 20 pounds as the minimum for flipping the seat, which many parents and pediatricians interpreted as conventional wisdom on the best time to make the switch. The new policy clarifies the AAP's recommendation, making age 2 the new guideline -- a real game-changer for parents of toddlers. A 2007 study in the journal Injury Prevention found that children under age 2 are 75 percent less likely to die or to be severely injured in a crash if they are rear-facing. Another study found riding rear-facing to be five times safer than forward-facing. \"\" A rear-facing child safety seat does a better job of supporting the head, neck and spine of infants and toddlers in a crash, because it distributes the force of the collision over the entire body,\"\" said Dennis Durbin, M. D., F. A. A. P., a pediatric emergency physician and co-scientific director of the Center for Injury Research and Prevention at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and lead author of the policy statement and accompanying technical report. Recall Finder: Check if your child's car seat has been recalled Parenting talked to Ben Hoffman, M. D., associate professor of pediatrics at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque and a child passenger safety technician, to get answers to parents' most pressing questions about the new policy. Although the new baseline is now age 2, the AAP has advised parents since 2002 to keep kids rear-facing until they reach the height or weight limit of their car seat."

"text": "Babies are at greater risk of injury in crashes. This is because babies' spines are developing and their heads are large for their bodies. In a crash, if your child is riding forward-facing, her spinal cord may stretch, which could result in serious injury or death. However, when your baby rides rear-facing in a child safety seat, her upper body — head, neck and spine — is cradled by the back of the child safety seat in the case of a frontal crash, which is the most common type of crash. According to research studies, children up to 2 years of age who are placed in forward-facing child safety seats are more likely to be seriously injured in a crash than same age children who are in rear-facing child safety seats.

"text": "Home » Travel Safety Child Car Seat Regulations in Washington State By Heather Montgomery Learn the rules of car seat use in Washington state. Keeping your child restrained in an approved child safety seat is vital to ensuring that your child is safe while riding in a vehicle. Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of unintentional death in children over the age of 3, according to a 2010 report from the National Center for Health Statistics. A child restraint system can reduce your child’s risk of death in a car accident by 54 percent, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The state of Washington -- like all 50 states -- has a specific set of requirements for child restraints. Birth Through Age 1Washington state law states that a child who is less than 1 year old and who is less than 20 pounds must remain in a rear-facing car seat. Rear-facing car seats protect your child’s neck and spine in the event of a crash by reducing the forward motion of her head during impact. While the law in Washington state only requires a child ride in a rear-facing seat until the age of 1 year old, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends children remain in a rear-facing car seat until she outgrows both the height and weight limits of her rear-facing seat and has reached the age of 2 years old. A rear-facing child seat should remain in the back seat of a vehicle at all times; if a back seat is unavailable, the front seat airbags must be turned off. Age 1 Through 4When your child outgrows his rear-facing car seat, you can move him into a forward facing, five-point harness seat."

"text": "Baby Product Tips Moving Your Toddler to a Booster Seat in the Car By Heather Corley Updated 04/05/18Share Pin Emailmrs / Getty Images Many parents wonder if their tall toddler is ready for a booster seat, or if there's an age requirement. It's easy enough to check the weight and height limits of various boosters to see if your little one will fit according to manufacturer instructions. Does that mean it's time to switch your toddler to a booster seat? Booster Seat Age If you can safely keep your child in a harnessed car seat for a while longer, do it. Most 3-year-olds are not ready to ride in a booster seat in the car, even if they fit within the manufacturer's height and weight guidelines. Best practice is to keep your child in a harnessed car seat to at least 40 pounds and 4 years, but preferably longer. Many convertible car seats have harnesses rated to 65 or even 90 pounds. Most children can fit into the harness of one of these car seats well past age 4. In fact, children in the U. S. today can often stay in a harnessed car seat until age 6 or beyond. Thanks to advances in car seat safety technologies and developing crash testing methods, 4-year-olds that might have been moved into a booster 10 years ago can still safely ride in a rear-facing car seat!"

While there is no escape proof child seat, the combination of quality car seats, parental oversight and parental firmness keep children in their seat. According to a study in which Safety Belt Safe U. S. A. participated, most children respond to parental firmness quickly. Is it better to buy a child safety seat with a 5-point harness or one with a bar that pulls down over the child's head? If you choose a convertible child safety seat, use a model equipped with a five-point harness system. Avoid models with a t-shield or tray shield, especially for newborns.

Most commonly these seats are purchased and installed by consumers, but car manufacturers may integrate them directly into their vehicle's design and generally are required to provide anchors and to ensure seat belt compatibility. Many jurisdictions require children defined by age, weight, and/or height to use a government-approved child safety seat when riding in a vehicle. Child safety seats provide passive restraints and must be properly used to be effective. However, research indicates many child safety restraints are often not used properly. ["

This is a hotly-debated topic among parents, especially as rules differ wildly in various countries By Hannah Ferrett4th August 2016, 1:13 pm Updated: 11th August 2016, 12:40 pm AS a parent you'll want to make sure your child is as safe as possible at all times, which includes when they're in a car. Everyone knows babies travel in rear-facing car seats, but when is the right time to move them out of them? Getty Images The rules around car seats can be confusing This is one of the most hotly-debated questions among parents because there is no easy answer. Legally, your child must be in a rear-facing car seat until he or she is 15 months old. It's actually safest for everybody to travel this way in a car. What the UK law says- Kids have to use a child car seat until they're 12 OR over 135cm tall - The seat must be appropriate for the child's height and weight - These seats must be rear-facing until your child is 15 months old - Your child can move into a forward-facing car seat once they're over 15 months - After this, you still need to make sure your child is in a seat suitable for their height - You can also get weight-based car seats and several types are available, these are based on height - Only EU-approved car seats can be used in the UK, they are marked with an 'E' in a circle - The European car seat safety standard is known as i-Size That's because the most common and dangerous type of accident is the frontal collision. They usually happen when vehicles are going fast and the problem is that people keep going forward even after the crash. It's their seat belts which stop this and protect them for bashing into part of their car. Although good, the force of the movement puts a huge amount of strain on the parts of the body being held in place by the belt."

Whenever you’re on the road, make sure children are buckled in age- and size-appropriate car seats, booster seats, or seat belts. Children under age 13 should ride properly buckled in the back seat on every trip. Never place a rear-facing car seat in the front seat or in front of an airbag.

"text": "You & your child » Safety » Car seat safety » Stage 1 - Rear-facing car seats » Questions & answers: rear-facing car seats Questions & answers: rear-facing car seats In April 2011 the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) issued new recommendations on child car seat safety, recommending that infants and toddlers should, where possible, remain rear-facing until 2 years of age or have reached the maximum rear facing recommendation for their restraint according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This differs from the previous recommendation that infants should remain rear-facing until 12 months of age. This new recommendation is supported by research. Plunket supports this recommendation that infants and toddlers should remain in rear-facing car seats for as long as possible. Q. What is meant by rear-facing? A. Rear facing is when a child's car seat is placed into the car facing the back window - the child is looking out the back window. Q. Why should I rear-face my child? A. Infants and toddlers have an immature spine, neck, head, and pelvis which places them at risk of head and spinal cord injuries. If an accident occurs while a child is in a rear-facing seat, the child's body moves into the back of the seat shell and the head, neck and spine are supported. In most crash situations the rear-facing child is pushed back into their car seat shell and their body slides up the back of the seat, and then down again."

If you have obtained a new Golden Retriever, that is at least 6 weeks of age, it is fine to go ahead and bathe her if she needs it. However, do not continuously be giving baths, as too many will dry out her skin. Golden Retrievers should only be given a bath when they obviously need one. Regularly brushing her coat does a much better job of keeping her fur clean and healthy and reduces the amount of baths she will need. If you are raising a litter of puppies, wait until they are at least 5 weeks old before bathing. Momma will keep them clean until then. If you have to bathe a couple of the pups, make sure that the house is very warm and that you dry them as thoroughly as possible."

So for the first six months a very simple grooming regime of regular brushing sessions of 10 minutes or so, four to five times a week should keep your puppy in good order. A simple grooming kit consisting of a comb, a brush, nail clippers and a slicker brush will be all the tools you will need for these first months. Intermingle treats and praise with the grooming to make this a pleasant experience. Even though your puppy may not really need this recommended amount of grooming, it will later on when the adult coat 'comes in' so it's a valuable time to familiarise your puppy with being groomed. All dogs nails will need trimming every 2-3 months with nail clippers. If you do this yourself be conservative with the amount you cut off, just the very end hooks is sufficient. Alternatively any dog groomer should be able do it for you at very little cost. An extra pair of hands to bath a puppy If you use puppy shampoo that is free from soap and detergents (examples on the Links page) then you can bath your puppy as often as you like without drying out the skin. All dogs react differently to being bathed but familiarity at the early ages will pay dividends later."

However if the immune system is suppressed in any way the population of the mite may overgrow and create the condition which we identify as mange."

"text": "\"About the Breed | Breed Standard | Colours & Markings | Health | FAQFREQUENTLY ASKED COCKER QUESTIONSSHOW STRAIN v WORKING STRAIN. What are the differences? If you are buying a pet Cocker puppy, it is important to know that there are two distinct strains within the breed, the show strain (or show type) and the working strain (often referred to as Working Cockers), each bred for different purposes with different attributes. Working Cockers, as the name implies, are bred as working gundogs, capable of staying out all day in the shooting field. However many are now being increasingly sold to pet homes where, in the right hands, they can make very good family dogs for the active home. They are also becoming popular in canine sports such as agility and flyball. Show-strain dogs are the type seen in the show rings (such as at Crufts). Their appealing looks and compact size have made show-type Cockers popular as family pets for many years. If you see a photo of a Cocker on a calendar or in a book, it will be a show-type dog more often than not, although this may be slowly changing with the growing number of Working Cockers in pet homes. Physically, Working Cockers can look quite different to the show-type Cocker."

"text": "\"Whelping and Raising Puppies Week 8The countdown is on... Puppies will be beginning to leave for their new homes between 9 and 12 weeks of age. By 8.5 to 9 weeks puppies are usually ready to leave their littermates and are ready for individual attention. Many breeders choose to keep some breeds longer to temperament test them, as dominant and subordinate behaviors start to develop, and depending on the breed, this is an important factor when placing puppies. Some pets are kept longer for show potential assessing. Some are kept longer until they are older for shipping. Some are kept until they can be altered or so genetic testing can be done. There are many good reasons a breeder will keep puppies past eight weeks, and no good reasons to send a pup off earlier than this age. Pups are also ready to begin housetraining at eight weeks. Make sure your breeder knows a little about your lifestyle, family and dog experience, as she will need to know some things about your family to properly place the correctly tempered puppy with you. Ideally the puppy you are purchasing will be potty trained to a potty station from 3 to 9 weeks and should be understanding that there is a designated spot to relieve itself."

Even if the mother has been wormed during pregnancy, puppies can still contract worms from the mother through her milk or excrement. Once puppies have reached 2 weeks of age, they need to be wormed for a number of different parasites, including roundworms, hookworms and tapeworms."

Taking on a litter is a huge responsibility, and you want to ensure that your dogs are healthy and well-cared for throughout the process. At What Age Can a Dog Start Mating? A responsible dog breeder will wait for a dog to reach maturity before allowing it to mate. The approximate ages of sexual maturity for dogs are: Large Dog Breeds: 18 to 24 months old Small Dog Breeds: 12 to 18 months old Medium Dog Breeds: 15 to 18 months old While a dog may reach sexual maturity in the first year and a half of life, it's best to wait until it's at least two years old before mating. This is especially true for bitches, who should not breed during their first year of heat. Just like humans, they are still mentally and physically immature. A bitch who is too young will not be able to care for her litter, which could result in the puppies being neglected. While a dog may reach sexual maturity at six or even four months, this is too young for him to be used as a stud."

Skip to the schedules Newborn Sleep A baby is considered a newborn from birth until about 3 months of age. During the first 3 months of life, your newborn’s sleep patterns will look nothing like yours – your baby will sleep in short bursts (anywhere from 30 or 45 minutes – 3 or possibly 4 hours), and then eat between sleeps. In this way, newborn’s don’t follow a typical day/night sleep schedule. Their circadian rhythms need time to adjust – in fact, some newborns come out of the womb having their days and nights completely mixed up! This is called day/night confusion, and babies who struggle with it tend to sleep a lot during the day and then wake up frequently at night. Many parents discover that their newborns are extra sleepy in the first week or two after birth – you may find that you have to wake your newborn to feed, or that your newborn often drifts off during a feeding, before eating her fill. But your newborn will definitely “wake up” within three weeks after birth – at that point, you will start to deal with more wakefulness (in fact, you may start to miss the early weeks of having a super-sleepy newborn!!). Newborn Feeding Newborns feed very, very frequently, but this isn’t a problem to be solved – it’s perfectly natural! Your newborn’s tummy is quite small, so it’s understandable that he needs to eat often."

Pacifiers can meet baby’s need to suck while giving Mom’s boobs a much deserved break (and give Dad a chance to step in).

"text": "\"Babies Baby Food When to Start Feeding Your Baby Solid Foods By Jennifer White | Reviewed by Joel Forman, MDUpdated January 13, 2018Share Pin Email Print Science Photo Library - RUTH JENKINSON/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images The best piece of advice I can give about when parents should move to feeding solids is to base that decision on the individual feeding needs of your baby and her unique physical development. Don't allow yourself to be pressured to start solids by the practices of other parents (or even your own past practices with previous children), by the marketing schemes of baby food manufacturers, or by the often inaccurate \"\"old wives tales\"\" on baby nutrition. The Debate of Feeding Solids at 4 or 6 Months of Age Generally, it is commonly accepted by health care professionals that the only food healthy babies receive during the first 4 months of life is breastmilk or infant formula. Research shows that introducing solids before this age may lead to significant health problems. So although the issue of starting solids can be clouded by many opinions, delaying the start of solids until at least 4 months of age is pretty clear. The current debate is then whether babies should start at 4 months or 6 months. Some health care groups say you can start solids at 4 months while others strongly encourage waiting until closer to 6 months of age. The thing we need to realize is that your baby's development isn't like a light switch - suddenly she is now ready for solid food when the day before she was not. Solid readiness is a progression of development, and every baby's point of solid readiness is individualized. I would curb the temptation to pick up the baby spoon and bowl simply because your child has turned 4 months of age."

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. I can’t even imagine!"

"text": "5 Month Old Baby Scheduleby Emily De Jeu in Schedules — 47 Comments This article outlines the average 5 month old baby schedule, including feedings, solids, naps and night sleep. Skip to the schedule5 month old baby’s sleep At this age, if you are not lucky enough to have a baby who sleeps through the night, many 5 month olds are still waking 1-3 times to eat at night. Anything more and likely you have a sleep association problem. Your 5 month old should be taking 3-4 naps per day for a total of 3-4 hours per day plus 11-12 hours at night. If you’re having trouble with naps, you might be interested in helping your baby nap. Obviously, all babies vary, but here are some sample schedules you can use to make your own for your unique baby. Schedules are iffy at this age because many babies simply cannot stay up past 2 hours to get to the next scheduled nap-time, so at this age, it’s likely naps are still on the short side, but come frequently. Over the next several weeks, you can work on getting down to just 3 naps to get closer to the 6 month schedule. I should warn you that I am in the camp that breast milk or formula should be the primary nutrition for the first year and solids come secondary. Below are the amounts we recommend if your pediatrician recommends solids before 6 months, the age at which most are recommending now."

"text": "\"Sleep Training- Baby Wise Tweet The key to Baby Wise is starting with a eat/activity/nap routine and Parent-Directed Feedings ( PDF) from the beginning as well as having appropriate waketimes, sleep time routines (see pre-sleep routine) and avoiding bad sleep props/associations. Baby Wise is also a big advocate for having your baby sleep in his own bed by himself. Once again, ideally you would start doing all the above mentioned things when baby comes home from the hospital. They can certainly be started later but it will be a bit harder to do so and baby may resist your guidance more. When baby cries first stop and listen. Why do you think he is crying (try to learn his cries if possible) and what should you do? Listen, think, then act. You may do nothing or you may need to intervene, even if that means simply going in to baby for a moment to give him some reassurance. Baby Wise says that \"\"there may be a brief period of fussing or crying when you put the baby down for a nap\"\" ( Baby Wise, p. 131) as your baby settles. It states that \"\"crying for 15-20 minutes is not going to hurt your baby physically or emotionally\"\" ( Baby Wise, p. 131) and that if your baby \"\"cries longer than fifteen minutes, check on [your] baby\"\" ( Baby Wise, p.148)."

"text": "Baby Sleep and Breastfeeding Series: Part 2by Nicole Johnson in Breastfeeding — 6 Comments Welcome to part 2 of my Baby Sleep and Breastfeeding Series! If you are just joining us, you might want to start at part 1, where I discuss reasons why breastfeeding moms sometimes struggle with sleep. Today, I’ll go over the number of times you should expect to breastfeed at night at different ages, how teething might affect breastfeeding moms, and discuss weaning. Night Feedings One of the more important things I would like to stress in this series is that when some websites or even some doctors talk about when a baby can sleep through the night without a feeding, you can’t really put breastfeeding babies into the same camp as formula-fed babies. This only has to do with one thing and that’s the fact that breast milk digests faster than formula. As I’ve said several times, there are adults who can’t go 12 hours without eating, so I certainly don’t expect all babies to be able to go all night without a feeding all at the same age or weight. I try to be realistic and what makes the most sense to me is that all babies react differently to being hungry and it’s a developmental milestone for your inner clock to sleep all night without feedings. If you ask a variety of different pediatricians when a baby can go all night without a feeding, the answer will vary a lot. That tells me that there are no hard and fast rules that you can apply to all babies. Formula-fed babies are more likely to start sleeping all night without a feeding, but there are breast-fed babies who do it early, too, just like there are formula-fed babies who won’t."

Some babies need about two hours more or less sleep than other babies, and some toddlers need as much as an hour more or less than their peers. This timeline gives you an idea of how much sleep your child will typically need at various ages. It also shows how sleep and nap patterns will change as she grows. Baby Newborn About 10 hours and 30 minutes to 18 hours (over a 24-hour period). Day: seven to eight hours. Night: eight hours, 30 minutes. Without much of a pattern, your newborn sleeps for a few minutes to several hours at a time, often waking to refill her little tummy. Babies need to nap every two hours until they are about three months old. Your baby may get a third of the sleep she needs during the day."

New parents quickly learn not to take a good nights’ sleep for granted. When should breastfed babies be expected to sleep throughout the night? Sleep is a work in progress during the first year of a baby’s life. There is no easy answer. The First Month In the first few weeks after birth, babies almost always fall asleep at the end of nursing. Their tummies are full, they just worked for their meal by actively nursing, and they are warm and cozy in mom’s arms. Who wouldn’t take a snooze after this? Months 1-3As the weeks go on, babies will breastfeed until they are full, fall into a relaxed mode at the breast, and shut their eyes to sleep."

These factors include the breeding efficiency and fertility of the cow herd, feed utilisation, animal behaviour, future carcase merits of steers and future breeding efficiency of heifer weaners. Weaning and the cow herd The weaning of calves instantly reduces the stresses on the cow. Weaning allows the cow to transfer nutrition, previously going into milk production, to her own normal body functions including improving her own condition and preparing herself for the next calving. The important aspects of herd fertility - calving percentage, calving pattern and calving span - are strongly affected by cow condition. The better the condition of a cow at calving, the better her milk supply and the sooner she will show oestrus after calving. Weaning of calves at 6-7 months, from two-year-old heifers, light condition and later calving cows, allows the cows to improve in condition, calve in better condition and show oestrus earlier. This should condense the calving time of the herd. Drought situations In a severe drought calves can be weaned as early as six weeks if they are placed on a high protein (18 per cent) concentrate diet and carefully managed. Weaning at this stage will conserve the body condition of the cows, stimulate oestrus activity, ovulation and ensure reasonable conception rates at joining."

"text": "Calf Rearing Systems The choice of calf milk replacer will depend to some extent on the system used to feed the calves. Over the years a wide range of calf feeding systems have come and gone. Traditionally calves have been fed milk twice a day simply because it has fitted in with the twice daily routine of milking cows. The majority of farmers are rapidly moving to either feeding milk Once a Day or to feeding milk through an automatic computerised calf feeding machine. There has been growing concern over feeding pooled whole cows milk to replacement heifer calves for a variety of reasons. RIchard Webster Nutrition recommends using a high quality calf milk replacer in preference to pooled milk. Once the move has been made to feeding a calf milk powder rather than whole milk it is difficult to make a case for feeding milk twice a day. There has also been a move away from bucket feeding systems to teat feeding. Teat feeding should be used if at all possible to make use of the oesophageal groove reflex where milk bypasses the reticulorumen directly to the abomasum. It is now strongly recommended that 4 litres of high quality colostrum is fed immediately after birth."

Creep feeding helps in supplementing mother's milk and pasture. The feed is provided in a facility designed so that adult animals are unable to consume the creep feed. By providing creep feed, it is possible to increase preweaning weight gains and weaning weights. However, the selling price of the calves and the cost of feed must be considered when a producer is making a decision about creep feeding. Creep feeding has many advantages, but there are also disadvantages that must be considered by the livestock producer. Effect on Calf Growth The extra weight gained as a result of creep feeding is variable. The factors affecting the response are as follows:supply and quality of pasture or rangemilk production of the damsgrowth potential of calvessex of calvesage of calf at weaningtype of feedlength of creep feeding perioddistance travelled to creep feederseason of birth of calf Depending on these variables, creep fed calves can be expected to gain from 2 to 45 kg (5-100 lb) more before weaning than non-creep fed calves. Under most pasture conditions, the average increase in weaning weight is 18 kg (40 lb) - with 10 to 27 kg (25-60 lb) being common. Calves sucking good milking dams on good pasture will gain little from creep feeding, but if milk and/or pasture are poor, weaning weights can be substantially improved by creep feeding."

"text": "Beef calf creep feeding combined with early weaning Beef producers can survive the drought Posted on July 10, 2012 by Kevin Gould, Michigan State University Extension Tweet Pin It Drought conditions across the Midwest have producers evaluating feeding scenarios for beef cow-calf pairs. As pasture conditions deteriorate, we need to be thinking about management plans for calf nutrition and performance. Early weaning should be considered, and if the decision is to early wean, transitioning those calves to dry feeds is critical for success. Creep feeding beef calves prior to weaning The extra weight gained as a result of creep feeding is variable. Several factors listed below can affect calf performance when creep feeding.supply and quality of pasturemilk production of the damsgrowth potential of calvessex of calvesage of calf at weaningtypes of feedlength of creep feeding perioddistance travelled to creep feederseason of birth of calf Depending on these variables, creep fed calves can be expected to gain from 5-100 pounds more before weaning than non-creep fed calves. Under most pasture conditions, the average increase in weaning weights range from 25-60 pounds. Lactating beef cows grazing on good pasture early in the season can meet their nutritional needs for optimum milk production. However, by the time a calf is 90 days old, an average milking beef cow may produce enough milk to meet only one-half the nutrients needed by the calf for maximum growth. Calves sucking good milking dams on good pasture will gain little from creep feeding, but if milk and/or pasture are poor as we are seeing in 2102, weaning weights can be substantially improved by creep feeding. As calves approach weaning, their nutrient requirements increase."

"text": "Featured Articles Creep Feeding Beef Calves30 May 2010Creep feeding is a way to provide nursing calves with supplemental nutrients with the use of a gate that restricts the access of cows to the feeding area, says Eric Mousel, Extension range livestock specialist; Cody Wright, Extension beef specialist; Julie A. Walker, Extension beef specialist; Heather Gessner, Extension farm management educator. The type of creep feeds available vary from grain-based feeds that primarily supplement energy, to limit-fed high-protein feeds, to “green creeps,” which are high-quality pastures grown for the sole purpose of grazing by nursing calves. Creep feeding for the purpose of increasing weaning weight alone may not be profitable; therefore, the decision to creep feed calves should be based on the analysis of expected increases in performance and income compared to the cost of feed. Nutrient requirements The energy and protein requirements of nursing calves are poorly defined. Previous researchers have utilised creep feeding to help correct nutrient deficiencies in nursing calves. However, the first limiting nutrient is variable and likely depends on the forage species and timing within the grazing season. Calves that are less than 90 days of age receive the majority of their nutrient intake from milk. After 90 days, the calves consume an increasing proportion of their nutrient intake from forage. High-quality pasture is generally the most economical source of nutrients during this period; however, the increase in nutrient requirements for calves from spring-calving herds in the northern Great Plains comes at a time when the nutrient density of pastures is rapidly declining (Figure 1). When the amount of high-quality forage is limited or unavailable, supplemental creep feeding should be evaluated as an alternative to maintain calf performance."

"text": "Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus Persistent Infection (BVD-PI) Ear Notch Testing Program for Cattle Herds October, 2007Bovine Virus Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) infection in cattle herds can result in major economic loss from poor reproductive performance (reduced percent pregnant, increased abortion and stillbirth) or poor calf performance (increased calf sickness and death loss). Cattle persistently infected with BVDV (BVD-PI) are the primary reservoir for BVDV infection in cattle herds, and thus are the major focus of control programs. The Washington Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (WADDL) at Washington State University is implementing a “BVD-PI Ear Notch Testing Program” designed for whole herd testing to aid cattle producers in identification and removal of BVD-PI animals. The testing program is based on the most current information available. However, herds should be examined on a case-by-case basis as whole herd testing may not be warranted in some situations.

Calves: All calves born alive. Testing and removal of BVD-PI calves must occur before exposure of females in the breeding herd to bulls or before artificial insemination in order to prevent contact between BVD-PI calves and pregnant dams. Depending upon individual herd management schemes the sampling could occur most conveniently during calving or before turnout to summer or winter range."

"text": "Theriogenology Volume 59, Issues 5–6, March 2003, Pages 1303-1312Reproduction in female yaks ( Bos grunniens) and opportunities for improvement Xiang-Dong Zi Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/S0093-691X (02)01172-X Get rights and content Abstract This paper reviews seasonal breeding, puberty, postpartum anestrus, embryonic loss and calf survival and their constraints in female yaks. Methods for improving fertility in postpartum yak cows are also considered. Yaks are seasonal breeders with mating and conception restricted in the warm season. Puberty generally occurs in the 2nd to the 4th warm season following birth, i.e. between 13 and 36 months of age. The cows usually have a long postpartum anestrus period; only a small proportion of the cows return to estrus in the 1st breeding season after calving, most come into estrus in the 2nd and 3rd years. Nutritional status is the most important determinant of reproduction in female yaks. Reproductive success is a direct result of the availability of pasture determined by climate, season, and management practices. Milking delays puberty by reducing milk intake (restricted suckling) and growth rate for the calf. Milking interferes with grazing and prolongs the duration of postpartum acyclicity in cows. Calves born early in the season have a longer suckling season than those born later in the season before the onset of winter."

"text": "The goal for rearing healthy dairy heifers successfully and economically is to quickly develop the calf's rumen to be able to digest solid feeds and reduce her nutritional dependence on milk. Gut development There are many health and management advantages in encouraging early rumen development as the ruminant calf is less likely to suffer digestive upsets and scours, with mortality risk much reduced. Milk, even at manufacture prices is the most expensive feed for calves, while pasture is the cheapest. Roughage feeds (pasture, hay) should be available from birth with concentrates (grain, calf pellets) fed to develop the rumen and support growth. Grown cattle have a stomach divided into four working parts (Figure 1. Scroll to bottom of page):the rumen (paunch)reticulum (honeycomb)omasum (bible)abomasum (true stomach). The rumen is very large compared with the other sections. In the very young calf (birth to 3 weeks), the abomasum is the major functional compartment, making up 80% of the total stomach. The other compartments grow quickly once the calf begins eating dry feeds. Figures 1 and 2 (scroll to bottom of page) illustrate the relative size differences of the four stomach compartments for a very young calf and a mature animal."

"text": "Weaning: Get it right to avoid calf distruption Sarah Alderton Friday 11 November 2011 9:15Correct weaning is vital to avoid growth checks and disruption to a calf’s future development, as Sarah Trickett reports. A change in diet and new housing groups can cause weaning to be one of the most stressful periods in a calf’s life. But it doesn’t have to be. Weaning correctly can be done with little disruption, but planning is vital. And with puberty largely driven by weight and size of an animal, making sure calves don’t experience setbacks at weaning, which could possibly lead to delayed puberty and breeding, is essential. When does weaning take place? Although six to eight weeks is seen as the industry’s recommended age for weaning, age of a calf should not be the only weaning criteria, explains Steven Morrison, head of sustainable livestock systems at the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute. “Concentrate intake should be the main weaning criteria. The main objective of calf rearing is firstly to rear a healthy calf but also to grow and develop a rumen. And since concentrate (starter diet) intake is a good indicator of rumen development, it is therefore a useful guide of when to wean,” he says."

By Steve Swigert The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation May 5, 2014 0Photo courtesy of The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation The value of heifer calves has risen to record highs. Wright, Jesse Wright, Jesse Wright, Jesse Wright, Jesse Since recent droughts have caused a lack of available forage in many areas, the incentive to retain heifers and purchase cows has been very low. This situation is coupled with the high value of heifer calves after weaning, preconditioning or the stocker phase. It makes the decision to retain or purchase females extremely difficult. As a result, the cattle inventory has declined to levels not seen since the 1930s and 1940s, and the value of heifer calves has risen to all-time record highs. With low cow numbers, historic high prices for weaned calves and the cost of cows at record highs for the foreseeable future, this means good, young, producing cows are going to be hard to find. Prices will consistently exceed $2,000 per cow. How much could cows be worth? Based on $550 annual cow cost, 88 percent calf crop and $180 per hundredweight average price for a 525-pound calf over seven production years, a $2,150 cow/calf pair purchased in the spring of 2014 would have a 10 percent return on investment."

"text": "\"Edit Article How to Cull Cattle Culling cattle is very important in any cattle operation because a producer gets rid of those animals that are inferior to the genetic qualities of the herd, those that are no longer productive, and those that have no value being in the cowherd any more. Each producer has their own culling standards that they set for their herds; some are more strict than others. But in the end, all producers have the same ultimate objective when it comes to culling cattle. Steps1 During the year you are going through with your cattle operation, keep track of how each and every cow, bull and calf does during that year. You should be able to do this using any of the following criteria: body condition and ability to gain weight with no to little supplementation, fertility rate during breeding and calving season, age, conformation, temperament and health. You may also have to cull because you have too many animals on your farm or ranch to take care of. Weaning calves from cows and selling them is one culling method. Other instances are when you have a year of drought and you are forced to get rid of up to more than half your herd to keep you from running out of feed too soon. Body Condition and weight gain: If a bovine in your herd is not able to gain weight efficiently on pasture alone, or gain weight after calving while nursing a calf and going into winter feeding, she should be shipped. Cows that come up open during preg-checking, are late calvers or late breeders should be culled."

"text": "\"If raised relatively naturally, in a pasture setting, calves born in the spring wean in the autumn. At that point, their mothers are usually well into their next nine-month pregnancy. That system of weaning isn't practical for all farms and ranches, especially larger commercial enterprises that require earlier weaning for economic reasons. When to wean cattle depends on the type of animal, along with variables such as grass availability and market factors. Rumens Cattle are ruminants or cud-chewers. That means their stomachs consist of several compartments, including the rumen. This section ferments their food, which the cattle regurgitate and chew. While there's no beneficial bacteria for fermentation in the rumen at birth, bacteria starts entering the rumen on the first day. By offering small quantities of good quality calf starter at the age of 1 week, you can jump-start rumen function. The calf always must have access to fresh, clean water for proper rumen development."

"text": "\"400-803Scott P. Greiner, Extension Animal Scientist, Virginia Tech Worldwide there are more than 250 breeds of beef cattle. Over 60 of these breeds are present in the United States. However, a relatively small number of breeds (less than 20) constitute the majority of the genetics utilized in the U. S. for commercial beef production. The breed, or combination of breeds, used in a defined breeding program have a significant impact on the efficiency and profitability of the beef enterprise. Breed influences the important parameters of growth rate, reproductive efficiency, maternal ability, and end-product specifications. Additionally, nutritional requirements and production costs are related to traits such as mature cow size and growth rate that are largely determined by breed. Therefore, selecting appropriate breeds to be used in a crossbreeding program is an important decision for beef cattle producers. Characterizing Breeds of Beef Cattle British Breeds British breeds are breeds that were developed in the British Isles and were brought to the United States in the late 1700s through the late 1800s. Angus (Black and Red), Hereford (Horned and Polled), and Shorthorn are the primary British breeds. When compared to Continental European breeds, British breeds are generally smaller in mature size, reach mature size at an earlier age, have less growth potential, excel in fertility and calving ease, attain higher quality grades, and yield carcasses with a lower percentage of saleable product."

Confidence votes 95.1KThere's more to raising cattle than throwing them out to pasture. Know your soil and plants to earn profit above ground and wealth below. Calves rely on their mother's milk for the first few months before slowly turning to a diet of what their dams eat over the next few months until weaning. Newborn calves can't have anything else for the few few weeks except milk because their stomachs are not suited for a diet of roughages as soon as they are born. It takes three months for a calf's rumen to develop to be fully functional. A bottle-baby can be fed hay, grain and even eat grass along with being fed milk from a bottle or bucket. Bottle-calves are fed milk-replacer formula until they are weaned at around 3 or 4 months of age. Calf-starter is often accompanied to such calves as those raised in dairy farms."

"text": "Color Blindness Each cone interprets only one color-red, green or blue. Overview Color blindness, also known as color vision deficiency, is the inability to distinguish colors and shades or to recognize them at all. It occurs when the color-sensing cones of the retina are absent or do not function properly. About 8 percent of males and 1 percent of females are color-blind to some degree. Most color-blind people have difficulty in distinguishing among various shades of the same color or seeing some colors as brightly as others; the inability to distinguish any colors at all and see the world in black-and-white is rare. Most color blindness is inherited and present at birth. But acquired color blindness can result from cataracts, retinal or optical nerve disease, use of certain medications or simply the normal aging process -- as we age, the normally clear lens begins to darken, making it harder to differentiate one dark color from another. Normally, the pigments of each cone correspond to one of the primary colors of light – red, blue and green. In color blindness, there is a broad range of variances in these cones, including unbalanced proportions of cones for each color, absence of cones for one or more colors, and malfunction of cones for one or more colors. If no functioning cones are present, the rods take over in sensing lightness and darkness that enhance peripheral vision and vision in dim light."

Although the term has fallen out of favor among child psychologists and other experts, dyslexia is popularly used to mean a disability in processing language. There are three types: visual (trouble recognizing printed letters or words); auditory (trouble distinguishing certain sounds or connecting sounds to letters), and \"\"expressive writing\"\" (trouble drawing or writing legibly or trouble proceeding from thinking a word to writing it). Your child may have any or all of these types. How common is dyslexia? Among children in U. S. public schools, three in 20 receive special education for reading problems; 3 to 5 percent of those kids most likely have dyslexia. Boys are diagnosed with dyslexia more often than girls, though some research indicates that this may be at least partially due to bias on the part of some medical professionals. Some experts believe that dyslexia is the most common learning disability, affecting 5 percent or more of all elementary age children. What causes dyslexia?

Meanwhile, his cousin who is a few months younger knows all his letters and numbers on sight and can write most of them. He can also write his name. I think he might be a genius. Seriously. He's been able to do it for AGES! According to DS's daycare provider he's not behind or ahead of the other kids...pretty much on par. We have books and games abotu counting and letters and we read to him every day and have started talking about spelling his name."

"text": "Using My Plate to Build a Healthy Plate Providing healthy meals for their children is the goal of most parents. But with picky eaters, hectic schedules and constantly changing dietary needs and tastes, that can be a difficult task. Many of us are familiar with the food pyramid and the major food groups, but that big chart is cumbersome and at times confusing. That’s why the USDA took the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and created My Plate, a new colorful, simple icon that parents can use to develop healthy eating habits for their children and the entire family. “If you take the pyramid and shake it out onto a plate, that’s My Plate,” says Dr. Robert Post, Deputy Director of the USDA Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion. “ It’s the same food but shown in a different way.” The need for Americans, especially children, to eat healthy meals is more important than ever. As Post explains, as of 2007 and 2008, obesity affects 10 percent of children ages 2 to 5, 20 percent of children 6 to 11 and 18 percent of children ages 12 to 19. Here’s how you can use My Plate to make sure your child is getting everything he needs. Let the Plate Guide You Visit choosemyplate.gov and print out a copy of My Plate to hang on your fridge, and start building a better plate."

Read about typical behaviors of emergent and beginning readers, and how each of these behaviors relate to reading and writing. Related Roots of Reading (Launching Young Readers series)Learning to Read and Write: What Research Reveals Reading Tips for Parents Between the ages of four and nine, your child will have to master some 100 phonics rules, learn to recognize 3,000 words with just a glance, and develop a comfortable reading speed approaching 100 words a minute. He must learn to combine words on the page with a half-dozen squiggles called punctuation into something – a voice or image in his mind that gives back meaning. ( Paul Kropp, 1996)Emerging literacy Emerging literacy describes the gradual, ongoing process of learning to understand and use language that begins at birth and continues through the early childhood years (i.e., through age eight). During this period children first learn to use oral forms of language (listening and speaking) and then begin to explore and make sense of written forms (reading and writing). Listening and speaking Emerging literacy begins in infancy as a parent lifts a baby, looks into her eyes, and speaks softly to her. It's hard to believe that this casual, spontaneous activity is leading to the development of language skills. This pleasant interaction helps the baby learn about the give and take of conversation and the pleasures of communicating with other people. Young children continue to develop listening and speaking skills as they communicate their needs and desires through sounds and gestures, babble to themselves and others, say their first words, and rapidly add new words to their spoken vocabularies."

I was picking my kids up from my sister’s house when her in-laws pulled up with their children. When they got out of the car she introduced me as her sister speech therapist. She immediately began telling me how her, two year old, nephew wasn’t using any words yet and wanted me to tell his parents what was “wrong”. Talk about feeling put on the spot! I felt the father glaring at me as if to say, “Don’t you dare tell me there is anything wrong with my son.” So I proceeded cautiously explaining some reasons that have been commonly linked to delayed speech in children. In the end they felt they should call the local early intervention provider in their county for an evaluation. I ran into the mother of the child yesterday and she thanked me for talking to them."

Many doctors define a fever as an oral temperature above 99.5°F (37.5°C) or a rectal temperature above 100.4°F (38°C). How should I take my child’s temperature? You can get the most accurate temperature by taking his or her temperature rectally. But in a child older than 3 months of age, it’s fine to take it orally unless your doctor directs otherwise.

Most public libraries offer free use of books, magazines, videos, computers, and other services. Other things that you might need for these activities are not expensive. For each set of activities, we give an age span that suggests when children should try them. From one activity to the next, we continue to talk about children at different stages: babies (birth to 1 year), toddlers (1 to 3 years), preschoolers (ages 3 and 4), and kindergartner/early first-graders (ages 5 and 6). Remember that children don't always learn the same things at the same rate. And they don't suddenly stop doing one thing and start doing another just because they are a little older. So use the ages as guides as your child learns and grows. Don't consider them to be hard and fast rules. You'll see that your role in the activities will change, too."

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.

If he is not even making word-like sounds soon, you could possibly think about taking him to a speech therapist but I think it is most likely just that he is more interested in moving than talking.

But it can be hard to know if your toddlers and preschoolers are making the right progress. \"\" Every child develops on his own timeline, but the best way to help develop your baby's language skills is to simply talk to him,\"\" says Rahil Briggs, Psy. D., a child psychologist at The Children's Hospital at Montefiore in New York City. \"\" The number-one way children learn to speak and boost their vocabulary is by listening to their parents at home,\"\" Dr. Briggs says.

In their first few weeks, babies like looking at faces. If a face is close they'll focus on it and follow it. By two weeks most babies begin to recognise their parents. It's essential to encourage your child's learning in these early weeks, and talking to your baby is a great way to start. A health professional, usually a health visitor, will carry out a new baby review during these weeks. They'll talk to you about feeding your baby, becoming a parent and how you can help your baby to grow up healthily. As a minimum, your baby should be weighed with no clothes on at birth and again at five and 10 days.1-4 weeks Startled by sudden noises If your baby hears a loud noise they may be startled."

They are not born with all the visual abilities they need in life. The ability to focus their eyes, move them accurately, and use them together as a team must be learned. Also, they need to learn how to use the visual information the eyes send to their brain in order to understand the world around them and interact with it appropriately. From birth, babies begin exploring the wonders in the world with their eyes. Even before they learn to reach and grab with their hands or crawl and sit-up, their eyes are providing information and stimulation important for their development. Healthy eyes and good vision play a critical role in how infants and children learn to see. Eye and vision problems in infants can cause developmental delays. It is important to detect any problems early to ensure babies have the opportunity to develop the visual abilities they need to grow and learn.

There's a saying that if a child walks first, then they talk later and vice versa. This was true for my son who walked at 11 months, but didn't really start talking until between 2 and 2 1/2 years old. I say that he really started talking at 2 1/2 because it seemed like almost over night that he started using sentences and aksing about things. If your child is not talking AT ALL by age 2, I would talk to a doctor about it. It's not uncommon for a 2 year old to only use single or two word sentences."

"text": "\"Home »Parenting When Do Kids Start Dating? By Brandy Burgess Parents must decide if their child is mature enough to date. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, kids are starting to date earlier than ever before, with the average age 12-and-a-half for girls and 13-and-a-half for boys. While dating age depends on a number of factors, and varies from child to child, many parents agree that dating should begin slow and supervised. Safety is a major concern, and dates should be appropriate for the child’s age. Discuss with your children what it means to “go out” with someone, and ask yourself whether your son or daughter is mature enough to deal with the emotional aspects of a relationship. What Dating Means It’s important to communicate with your child to determine what he or she considers an average date before saying “no” to dating. For some children, dating could mean hanging out at the mall or talking nightly on the phone. Crushes can begin as early as elementary school, but most kids don’t think about “going out” until middle school. According to the NYU Child Study Center, pre-teens (9 to 12 years old) may say they have a boyfriend or girlfriend, but do not spend time with their crushes outside of school or group gatherings."

Some recommendations are to switch your pup to adult food when he is 1 year old. However, dogs grow at different rates according to their breed. 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. If your dog is a large breed, the extra calcium can lead to skeletal abnormalities. Too many calories can also cause rapid growth on a developing skeletal frame."

The first thing to try is resting her gastrointestinal tract for 24 hours, water is fine but no food. After that try introducing a bland diet. Make a homemade bland diet by boiling hamburger chunks (or ground chicken if she is sensitive to beef) until fully cooked (10 to 15 minutes, the color of fully cooked meat should have no red or pink) then mix in a 50:50 proportion with fully cooked plain white rice. Feed 1/4 of a cup per 10 pounds of dog 2 to 3 times daily. If her diarrhea worsens or she starts vomiting with the introduction of solid food she likely needs to see her veterinarian. If her stools improve feed her the bland diet for 2 days past normal stools then gradually start mixing in her regular food in increasing amounts over the next 3 to 4 days until she's off the bland diet and back on her regular food. If she isn't on aspirin or any other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories you can also give her Pepto-bismol at a dose of 1ml per 10 pounds of body weight or 1 teaspoon per 50 pounds of body weight 2 to 3 times daily for a day or two.

Flag What age should a dog be given senior dog food? Answer by Laura Frog Confidence votes 4.0KIt depends on the breed of dog, as well as its health. Smaller breeds mature faster, but age more slowly after reaching maturity. A small dog (such as a toy poodle, terrier, chihuahua, etc.) isn't considered \"\"geriatric\"\" until much later than a larger breed - maybe 10 to 12 years old, and the largest breeds are senior citizens at 5 or 6 years of age. Most vets, though, consider a dog 7 or 8 years or older to be a senior citizen. Some 'senior' dog foods are basically marketing hype, with little difference between the regular food and the senior food. All young dogs should be fed puppy food as they have very different requirements to adult dogs, but whether or not an older dog is switched to senior food seems to be a matter of the owner's choice as often as the dog's health. The switch to senior food should be considered carefully and your vet should be involved with this decision."

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."

Digital Vision./Digital Vision/Getty Images P uppy food is rich in calories and supplements that help your baby grow. If you don't transition him to adult dog food, though, all those extra calories will just pack on the pounds. The transition age varies, but with any dog, it doesn't take more than a week to switch. Step 1Learn when your breed of dog typically reaches physical maturity. There are no rules that apply to all dogs regarding when to switch over, as different breeds physically mature at different ages. For example, a small dog like a pug may be ready to switch to adult food when she is only 1 year old, while a big dog like a labrador may not be fully grown until she is twice that age. Step 2Monitor your dog's eating habits as she approaches maturity. Some dogs will self-limit their food intake when they come of age, as they know they don't need the calories. While this is a sure sign to transition to adult food, it's a sign not all dog owners get -- if you're waiting for the dog to cut herself off from puppy food, you could end up waiting forever."

Over 7 days, gradually decrease the amount of the current dog food while increasing the amount of new dog food. To help you with the switch and dog food transition, refer to the 7-Day Transition Schedule below or view this video. Remember these tips when switching your dog’s food: Puppies become adults at 12 months of age and should transition to an adult dog food to ensure they are receiving proper nutrient levels for adult dogs. Large breed puppies and small breed puppies should switch to a large breed or small breed adult dog food to ensure that their special needs are met. For small and medium size dogs who are older, about the age of 7, they should transition to a mature adult or senior dog food that ensures that they are receiving the appropriate level of nutrients for that older lifestage. For large breed dogs that are around 5 years of age, their food should switch to a mature adult or senior large breed dog food so that their special nutrient requirements are met. Pregnant or nursing dogs need energy-dense foods with increased calcium content so be sure to transition them during this special time to a puppy food. However, during pregnancy or nursing, large breed dogs should be switched to a regular puppy food, not a large breed puppy food."

I’m especially concerned about the different protein levels in the two foods. – SGDear SG,We’ve all heard that dogs age seven years to our one year, so a two-year-old dog is like a 14-year-old kid, a seven-year-old dog is like a 49-year-old person, and a 15-year-old dog is like a 98-year-old person. But a better guideline for when to think about changing to a more age-appropriate diet might be that when a dog has reached half his normal life-span, he is considered “senior.” A small dog with a lifespan of 15 years might not be tagged “senior” until he is 7 or 8 years old. But a large or giant breed dog that is expected to live to 10 or so should be thought of as a senior when he is just 5 years of age. What does “senior” mean? Owners of older dogs generally notice a decrease in activity, weight gain and the development of age-related physical and behavioral changes such as arthritis and senility. These changes happen because on the inside, metabolism has begun to slow down, food may not be digested and absorbed as efficiently, and other organs may not be functioning as well as they used to."

Of course for the first three of four weeks of its life a puppy will be weaned by its mum with most breeders beginning to feed their dogs after four weeks. Some breeders remove the pups mum at this stage to encourage the puppy to learn just to accept food rather than mothers milk. Other breeders will let nature take its course and wait for mum to get fed up producing milk for Lab puppies whose teeth are getting sharper by the day!When you first take your pup home you need to decide their diet. This is no easy thing as there is a mountain of different foods in the shops and also as many different opinions on what a puppy should be fed. Most Lab puppies will be taken home for the first time at around 7-8 weeks and at this age their teeth will be developed enough to eat dry food comfortably. If your pup arrives before their teeth have quite developed enough to enjoy dry food than any proprietary food watered down to a soup like substance should be sufficient for the puppy. When Lab puppies begin eating dry food it is essential that they have lots of fresh water always available. You may find that a pup doesn’t take much notice of the water to begin with but he will soon learn why water is important and will start to drink like a drain. Choosing the dry food for your pup is very much a matter of personal choice; firstly yours in which brand you buy and secondly your pups in whether he decides to eat it or not!A word of warning about feeding a pup is to be very careful that the food isn’t too rich."

"text": "By Ashley Gallagher, DVMPuppies of any size or shape are just about guaranteed to be adorable. Even though they seem similar, puppies grow at different rates depending on their breed. Large breed puppies like Labrador Retrievers and Great Danes, for example, need a much different diet for optimal growth than a tiny Yorkie or Chihuahua. Proteins are the building blocks of the body and an absolute necessity for daily function and growth. Puppies require more protein than adult dogs because their bodies are busy growing. Puppy food should also be higher in calories than adult food to compensate for the energy puppies expend by growing and playing. About half of the calories they consume are spent on tissue growth and development. You should consult your veterinarian to determine a healthy food for your growing puppy. Excessive protein in a diet is not only unnecessary, but in large breed puppies it can result in an unbalanced ratio of calcium to phosphorus. This can make a puppy’s bones grow too quickly, resulting in abnormal joint development."

And while this is not the most pleasant topic for many, an aging dog can have a completely fulfilling life. There is not one particular day that your dog will suddenly be 'old'. Just like humans, it is a gradual maturing. By accepting the fact that your Yorkie is indeed aging, you can then take steps to keep him or her as healthy and happy as possible. Age a Yorkshire Terrier Becomes a Senior This is actually a gray area. In general, this is determined by the size of the dog. Since toy breeds typically live longer than large breeds, toys are given the label of senior between the ages of 8 and 12 years old. With this being said, a Yorkshire Terrier will be declared a senior by the veterinarian who decides this based on the dog's health, his or her activity level and general signs of aging such as slowing down, etc. It is safe to say that an 8-year-old is a mature adult and that a Yorkie that is at least 10 years old has crossed into the category of senior."

"text": "The age to neuter dogs ranges from puppyhood onward, although traditionally dogs have been neutered between the ages of 6 to 9 months. The age also depends on where you obtained your dog. If you adopt your dog from a shelter, he likely will undergo neutering before you take him home, no matter his age. Neutering prevents more than unwanted puppies. It also prevents other testosterone-related behaviors, such as roaming, unwanted mounting and aggression. Puppies can be neutered as early as 8 weeks of age.credit: andresrimaging/i Stock/Getty Images The Neutering Process Canine neutering is a straightforward procedure. Your dog is anesthetized before the surgery. The vet makes an incision in front of the dog's scrotum. Through that opening, she removes the testicles, cutting and tying off the stalks. Depending on the veterinary practice, the incision might or might not be closed with stitches."

I wanted to add a link to an article recently published by The Dog Place; Rethinking Spay and Neuter. A lot of new pet owners are under the assumption that they should have their new puppy spayed or neutered by the age of six months. This timeframe has been preached by vets, animal shelters, rescue organizations and numerous other sources for ages. The funny thing is that there is no real proof that this is the magic age to alter your pet. It is EXTREMELY important that you do not alter your Mastiff until at least 18 months of age, and preferably after 2 years of age. The growth plates in a giant breed dog are regulated by hormones. If you chose to remove those hormones by spaying or neutering your Mastiff prior to completion of growth you are asking for numerous joint, bone and growth issues down the line. The first thing that can happen is you get a Mastiff that is as tall as a Great Dane and not much wider. The hormones that tell the growth plates to stop growing upward are removed when the animal is altered, so the bones just keep going up and up."

The bloody discharge you see is not even the same thing. Menstruation is the shedding of the endometrium if pregnancy does not occur -- dogs and cats reabsorb the endometrium rather than shedding it. Only primates and some simians, some bats, and elephant shrews menstruate. The bloody discharge dogs have isn't menstruation -- it happens before the dog is sexually receptive and before ovulation, which is called \"\"proestrus\"\". Proestrus bleeding in dogs is common and is believed to be caused by diapedesis of red blood cells from the blood vessels due to the increase of the estradiol-17β hormone. It's this discharge that causes a mess, and owners who don't spay their female dogs for some reason will get little pads and pants for the dogs to wear. As for what you should do -- call the vet and make an appointment to have her spayed. Meanwhile, don't let her outdoors or around intact male dogs until she goes out of heat, or you'll have puppies in about 3 months. Most pet supply stores sell pants and pads you can put on your dog to keep her discharge off your furniture and floor.775.8k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private."

A: Spaying and neutering are surgical procedures performed by veterinarians that render dogs incapable of breeding by removing their reproductive organs. When a female dog is spayed (also called an ovariohysterectomy), the ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus are removed. When a male dog is neutered (also called castration), the testicles are removed from the scrotal sack. Q: Why should I have my dog spayed or neutered?

Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: It is NOT an old wives tale that neutering early will have consequences, some of which are not desirable to some people. For one, the dog will not complete his growth in the same way as he will if he is allowed to reach sexual maturity. Particularly the head and legs will be affected. It also will definitely affect his personality. If you want a dog that is somewhat puppy-like forever, then neuter him early.

With a female spaying refers to when the dog’s uterus and the ovaries are surgically removed. For the male, neutering means that the testicles are surgically removed. It is a common belief that this is only done to stop dogs from mating. While this is one of the end results, there are also other important ways in which this will help your Yorkshire Terrier live a healthier and longer life. Benefits of Spaying a Female Yorkie:• Stops the chance of her of getting pregnant. Without proper pre-pregnancy testing (including measuring pelvic width), carrying a litter and giving birth can be exceedingly stressful and even dangerous for a dog. And since dogs do not enter the human equivalent of menopause, females of any age can get accidentally pregnant .• Eliminates her chances of developing ovarian cancer and greatly reduces her chances for developing mammary cancer. This will also decrease her odds of developing ovarian infections. The younger she is when being spayed, the better the chances.• Cuts down on urges to run away when in heat (some females will actively pursue males)• Stops possible hormone related mood swings• Helps with marking issues (90% of the time if a female is spayed before the first heat); keep in mind that territorial females mark just as males do."

"text": "At What Age Do Dog Testicles Drop? January 22, 2017Tweet As your puppy grows, you start seeing signs of development, but at some point you may be wondering at what age do those dog testicles drop. In dogs, it’s important that testicles drop because undescended testicles may become problematic to the dog’s health and veterinarians therefore will recommend neutering the dog. The age at which your dog’s testicles will drop varies from one dog to another, but as a general rule, they should have descended by the time your puppy came into your home, at around 8 weeks old. A Lesson in Anatomy Puppies aren’t factory made with testicles already in their scrotum, instead, the testicles are initially tucked up into the dog’s abdomen, just like the ovaries of a female dog. It is only with age that the testes start the process of descending from the inguinal ring and finding their their way out to the scrotum. There are three outcomes when it comes to the process of testicles descending: they can successfully descend into the scrotum, them may start descending, but stop somewhere along the way, or they may even never start the journey. Failure for a dog’s testicle to descend means that the testicle is either trapped within the inguinal canal or inside the dog’s abdomen. Dogs may retain just one testicle or both testicles may be affected. Age of Onset Retained testicle in dog Generally, a dog’s testicles should drop by the time the puppy is 8 weeks old; however, there are often exceptions to the rule and some dogs may take a little bit longer."

A “spay,” or ovariohysterectomy, is a veterinary surgical procedure performed under general anesthesia. It involves removal of the female dog’s uterus and both ovaries through an incision made in the abdomen. A spay can also be performed laparascopically (usually with ovariectomies). Neutering.

Where I live Vets are $45 minimum for an office visit without anything being done at all. I probably could find one here at around 150 but add to that the office exam and you are into 200 range. I do have a suggestion, if the hernia is not large you could opt to have teeth cleaned or whatever at the same time and wait a while. It depends on the hernia.

In this video, he explains that colon cancer may develop between the ages of 50 and 60, which is why screening is vital. Jon A. Horine, MD on behalf of Menorah Medical Center Internal Medicine Men and women should have a colonoscopy at age 50. African American men and women should have their first screening at age 45. Individuals with a history of a first-degree relative (parent, sibling or child) or a personal history of colorectal cancer should be screened using a different schedule. Consult with your physician to determine the best cancer screening schedule for you. Univ. of Nev. School of Medicine, Family Medicine Family Medicine The American Cancer Society and the U. S. Preventive Services Task Force recommend colon cancer screening with colonoscopy beginning at age 50. Screening should then be continued every 10 years if your exam is normal. Earlier screening may be indicated if you have a convincing family history of colon cancer."

"text": "\"Cancer Colon Cancer Diagnosis Preparing For a Colonoscopy The Essential Steps in Preparing for Your Colonoscopy By Suzanne Dixon, MPH, RDUpdated November 03, 2017Share Pin Email Print What do you need to know if order to prepare for your colonsocopy?. David Sacks/Stone/Getty Images If you have a colonoscopy scheduled, your doctors office has probably told you the steps to take to be prepared. Let's take a look at how you can best prepare, the reasons for planning ahead, and review what you should know before having this important test. The Importance of Your Colonoscopy The first and most important step in getting ready for your colonoscopy is to understand why this test is done and its importance relative to other preventive health measures you may take. Understanding what a colonoscopy may be prevent—and imagining what may happen if you were to skip this test altogether—can be helpful if you feel inconvenienced or uncomfortable about your upcoming test. Screening colonoscopies are one of the significant reasons that deaths from cancer are declining. While there has been some controversy over the importance of mammograms in screening for breast cancer and PSA tests in screening for prostate cancer, there is little controversy over the benefit of colonoscopies in reducing colon cancer deaths. The evidence that they make a difference—that they lower the risk that someone will die from colon cancer—is strong. It's thought that if everyone who meets the criteria for a colonoscopy had this procedure done, we could reduce the death rate from colon cancer in the United States by 60 percent. Colon cancer is currently the 3rd leading cause of cancer-related deaths in both men and women."

"text": "Sessile polyp Sessile polyp Description, Causes and Risk Factors: Polyp: A general descriptive term used with reference to any mass of tissue that bulges or projects outward or upward from the normal surface level, thereby being macroscopically visible as a hemispheroidal, spheroidal, or irregular moundlike structure growing from a relatively broad base or a slender stalk; polyps may be neoplasms, foci of inflammation, degenerative lesions, or malformations. Sessile polyp: Any form of polyp that has a relatively broad base. Types may include: Sessile polyp in deuodnum, sessile polyp in colon, sessile polyp in stomach, sessile polyp in sigmoid colon, sessile polyp in transverese colon, sessile polyp in gastric colon, sessile polyp in hepatic flexure, sessile polyp in hepatic flexure, sessile polyp in uterus, sessile polyp in uterus. Sessile polyps simply mean that the mass is flat and does not have a stalk. The other types of colonic polyps are pedunculated- these are not flat but attached to a stalk. Since a sessile colonic polyp does not have a stalk, it is usually found very close to the colonic wall lining. Other than this structural difference there are no other physiological or biochemical differences between these two types of polyps. The majority of sessile growths are asymptomatic and only rarely do these polyps become cancerous. Colonic polyps can vary in size from a few mm to a few cms. The exact incidence of colonic polyps is not known but autopsy data indicate that anywhere from 7-50 percent of individuals have these growths."

Denoya, MD, Assistant Professor of Surgery, Division of Colon and Rectal Surgery, answers questions on what you need to know about this highly treatable and often preventable cancer. What is colorectal cancer? Colorectal cancer arises from the lining of the colon or rectum, usually from cells that secrete mucus. In many cases, it starts out as a polyp, which is a premalignant, benign lesion or an overgrowth in the lining of the colon. If left alone, a polyp can grow into cancer. However, with screening, polyps can be detected and removed, thus preventing cancer altogether. What are the signs and symptoms? In most cases, colorectal cancer is often symptomless, which is why screening is so important. Some people do experience telltale signs, however, which include blood in the stool, a change in bowel habits, a change in the size, shape, or caliber of the stool, abdominal pain, and weight loss. Anyone experiencing these symptoms should speak with their primary care physician."

Or perhaps you’re considering having a colonoscopy in the hopes that it will be the answer to your G. I. troubles? What is the true value of a colonoscopy anyway? The use of the colonoscopy is widely misunderstood. Although it is an important tool, its ability to cure patients of common digestive problems such as chronic diarrhea, constipation, or abdominal pain is incredibly limited. If you have visited a gastroenterologist because you are suffering from constipation or diarrhea, then there is a very good chance that they will have recommended that you have a colonoscopy. And it is understandable to then think that the colonoscopy will finally be the solution to your problem, because it is often the point of emphasis. First, it should be noted that a colonoscopy is for the most part a viewing procedure, not a treatment. It is the process of looking at the inside of the colon. The colonoscopy involves introducing a fiber optic scope into the rectum and up into the colon."

Colonoscopy Colonoscopy being performed ICD-9-CM 45.23Me SH D003113OPS-301 code 1-650Medline Plus 003886 [ edit on Wikidata]Colonoscopy ( / ˌ k ɒ l ə ˈ n ɒ s k ə p i /) or coloscopy ( / k ə l ˈ ɒ s k ə p i /) [1] is the endoscopic examination of the large bowel and the distal part of the small bowel with a CCD camera or a fiber optic camera on a flexible tube passed through the anus. It can provide a visual diagnosis (e.g., ulceration, polyps) and grants the opportunity for biopsy or removal of suspected colorectal cancer lesions. Colonoscopy can remove polyps as small as one millimetre or less. Once polyps are removed, they can be studied with the aid of a microscope to determine if they are precancerous or not. It can take up to 15 years for a polyp to turn cancerous. Colonoscopy is similar to sigmoidoscopy —the difference being related to which parts of the colon each can examine. A colonoscopy allows an examination of the entire colon (1200–1500 mm in length). A sigmoidoscopy allows an examination of the distal portion (about 600 mm) of the colon, which may be sufficient because benefits to cancer survival of colonoscopy have been limited to the detection of lesions in the distal portion of the colon. [ 2] [3] [4]A sigmoidoscopy is often used as a screening procedure for a full colonoscopy, often done in conjunction with a fecal occult blood test (FOBT)."

However, no screening recommendations specify less frequent screening with increasing age. We aimed to determine whether such a refinement would be cost effective. Methods We determined the relative risk for CRC for individuals based on age and number of affected first-degree relatives (FDRs) using data from publications. For each number of affected FDRs, we used the Microsimulation Screening Analysis model to estimate costs and effects of colonoscopy screening strategies with different age ranges and intervals. Screening was then optimized sequentially, starting with the youngest age group, and allowing the interval of screening to change at certain ages. Strategies with an incremental cost effectiveness ratio below $100,000 per quality-adjusted life year were considered cost effective. Results For people with 1 affected FDR (92% of those with a family history), screening every 3 years beginning at an age of 40 years is most cost effective. If no adenomas are found, the screening interval can gradually be extended to 5 and 7 years, at ages 45 and 55 years, respectively. From a cost-effectiveness perspective, individuals with more affected FDRs should start screening earlier and at shorter intervals."

With Insurance Coverage: Copay, Coinsurance and Deductibles High: Without Insurance Average $3,081E-mail Post Tweet Comments (161)A colonoscopy is a screening test for colon cancer. It is recommended that people of average risk get a colonoscopy or other type of screening every 10 years starting at age 50. People at high risk should begin screening earlier, and sometimes more often, according to the American Cancer Society [ 1] . Typical costs: For those not covered by health insurance, the cost of colonoscopy varies by provider and geographic region, usually ranging from $2,010 to $3,764, with an average of $3,081, according to Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina. A colonoscopy often is covered by health insurance if the patient has symptoms that warrant it or if the patient meets age and risk criteria. According to the 2012 Colorectal Cancer Legislation Report Card [ 2] , 31 states have laws mandating colonoscopy coverage. For patients covered by health insurance, out-of-pocket costs can range from zero to more than $1,000, depending on deductibles, copay and coinsurance amounts. For example, a Medicare patient at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center [ 3] would pay $1,477, including deductibles and coinsurance. However, some insurance plans, such as the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan [ 4] Community Blue PPO plan, cover \"\"wellness\"\" screenings 100 percent, with no deductible or copay, usually with some restrictions."

Unlike a traditional colonoscopy, it allows the doctor to view various angles; however, it cannot spot very small polyps, and a doctor cannot remove a polyp or take a tissue sample for biopsy during the exam. So, a traditional colonoscopy might be required if problems are spotted. Risks include upset stomach and vomiting from the preparatory drugs, as well as minimal exposure to radiation. Typical costs: For patients not covered by health insurance, a virtual colonoscopy costs an average of about $2,400 including the facility fee and radiologist fee -- but can range from less than $750 to more than $5,000, depending on the location and provider, according to New Choice Health.com [ 1] . For example, the University of Chicago Medical Center charges about $1,060. Windsong Radiology Group in New York charges $1,900 -- or a discounted rate of $775 if payment is made in full at the time of service. A virtual colonoscopy is covered by health insurance in some cases. For example, some insurers do not cover it for routine screening, but CIGNA [ 2] covers it for colorectal cancer screening every five years in average risk patients age 50 or older. Aetna [ 3] considers it medically necessary in a patient with symptoms and a known colonic obstruction or incomplete colonoscopy due to certain lesions but considers it experimental for screening or diagnosis of colorectal cancer. For patients covered by health insurance, out-of-pocket costs typically would include a doctor visit copay and coinsurance of 10% to 50% for the procedure."

Colorectal cancer is a cancer that develops from the cells of the large intestine. The large intestine consists of the colon and rectum. The rectum comprises the last 15 cm of the large intestine and lies within the pelvis, which consists of the hip bones. This is a very small area and the distance between the cancer and the surrounding normal organs is very short. Hence, the chance of the cancer spreading to neighbouring organs in the pelvis is significantly high. The colon forms the rest of the large intestine that lies above the level of the hips. It is surrounded by fatty tissue, called omentum, and anchored by more fatty tissue (called mesentery) to the walls of the abdominal cavity. The lymph glands are in the mesentery. Cancer can develop from the cell-lining of the large intestine."

Colorectal Cancer Screening Introduction The National Cancer Institute of Canada (NCIC) acknowledges colorectal cancer as the third most common cancer and the second most common cause of death from a cancer among men and women in Canada, second only to lung cancer. If, however, the cancer is detected early through screening, it may be highly treatable and need not be deadly. In a majority of cases, colorectal cancer is preventable and yet each year in Canada, thousands of people are diagnosed with advanced colorectal cancer. The majority of colorectal cancers begin as benign growths in the lining of the large bowel wall called adenomatous polyps. Over the years (at least ten years), these polyps grow in size and number, thereby increasing the risk that the cells in the polyps will become cancerous and invade the wall and move on to other organs. Approximately two thirds of these cancers are found in the large intestine and one third in the rectum. Early removal of these growths will prevent colorectal cancer from developing in the first place. Hence, identification and removal of polyps are key to preventing the development of colorectal cancer."

Your baby will likely be nursing about 7 or 8 times a day now. Baby Formula - if not breastfeeding, feed your baby about 24 to 32 ounces of iron-fortified infant formula each day. Starting Solids - an iron-fortified rice cereal can be started once your baby is ready and is about 6 months old (typical range for starting is from 4 to 8 months). Vitamins - unless your baby was born premature or has other health problems, you likely won't need to give him vitamins, except for exclusively breastfed babies who need Vitamin D drops beginning before they are 2 months old. Back To Sleep - to help reduce your baby's risk of SIDS, be sure to put your to sleep on her back in a safe crib. Safety Outside - you can use insect repellents once your baby is 2 months old, but it is best to keep them out of the sun and use sunscreen until they are 6 months old. Baby Car Seats - until she is 12 months old AND is over 20 pounds, your baby should sit in the back seat facing backward when riding in the car. Things to Avoid With Your Baby Just as important as what you do with your baby are the things you don't do, including that you: Never shake your baby, which could lead to shaken baby syndrome. Do not feed your baby honey, cow's milk, or goat's milk."

The good news: The best baby skin care tips are the simplest. “ Less is more, and it’s more cost-effective, too,” Brod says. Choose Few Ingredients Scan labels and choose products with the fewest ingredients and no parabens, formaldehydes, or fragrances, says Megha Tollefson, MD, a pediatric dermatologist at the Mayo Clinic. “ Many of the products I recommend are not marketed toward babies, since most of those have fragrances that can be irritating,” she says. Cleanser: Soap-free liquids are a good choice. “ It doesn’t need to lather to be clean,” says New York City-based dermatologist Bruce Robinson, MD. Shampoo: Tearless is best. Diaper cream: Use petroleum jelly or a zinc oxide cream."

"text": "\"Pubic Hair Removal: Shaving With puberty come many changes, including increased body hair and the development of underarm hair for teens. Many teens and young adults may choose to depilate, or remove body hair. The most common body areas depilated are the underarms, legs, pubic area, eyebrows, and face for females; and the face, abdomen, back, chest, groin, and legs for males. Shaving is the most common method used for the underarms, legs, and pubic area. Pubic shaving actually originated in ancient Egypt and Greece when prostitutes had to shave for both hygienic reasons and as a clear sign of their profession. Although female body shaving was established as the norm between 1915 and 1945, pubic hair removal did not gain a strong foothold until the 1980's. In part, this was due to a trend in the porn industry where it was common for women to shave the pubic area. As pornography has become more accepted in the general public, more women have mimicked what they have seen. In this way, pubic hair shaving has become mainstream. Also, bikini bathing suits began to reveal more of the pubic area in the 1970 and 80's."

Then further down the chapter you will see the difference that years of experience make when breeding good quality birds. Don't forget the WCBC CLUB IS HERE TO HELP YOU. The breeding season normally starts towards the end of March. By this time I ensure the birds have at least 14 hours of light (the light is extended by about 20 minutes per week from the beginning of January) with a minimum temperature of 10C (50F). I use a double breeding cage per pair with the cock and hen initially separated with a slide in the middle of the cage. I like to have the pairs next to each other for at least a fortnight before pairing together to finally assess that the pairing is correct. Once I am happy I pull the slide away from the back of the cage by about 1 cm so that the birds can see each other. I also put a little nesting material in the bars of the cage of the hen bird and watch her reaction. If she starts carrying it in the back of her beak she is heading towards being in breeding condition."

It may be practiced for personal hygiene, religious ritual or therapeutic purposes. By analogy, especially as a recreational activity, the term is also applied to sun bathing and sea bathing. Bathing can take place in any situation where there is water, ranging from warm to cold. It can take place in a bathtub or shower, or it can be in a river, lake, water hole, pool or the sea, or any other water receptacle. The term for the act can vary. For example, a ritual religious bath is sometimes referred to as immersion, the use of water for therapeutic purposes can be called a water treatment or hydrotherapy, and two recreational water activities are known as swimming and paddling.

This is one of the most consistently telling methods of aging your bird. When a parakeet is about 3 or 4 months old, it molts for the first time. If your bird is younger than that, his head is adorned with stripes all the way from the forehead down the back of his neck. After his first molt, he loses the stripes from his forehead.

"text": "\"Average fetal length and weight chart Share From early on in pregnancy, babies grow at different rates, so these numbers are merely averages. Your baby's length and weight may differ greatly from these figures. Don't worry too much if an ultrasound indicates that your baby is much smaller or larger. Your midwife or GP will let you know if you should worry about what size your baby is. By full-term, your baby may end up weighing fewer than five pounds or more than nine. For the purposes of this chart, babies are measured from the crown (or top) of the head to the rump (or bottom) until about 20 weeks. After 20 weeks, they're measured from crown to heel. This is because a baby's legs are curled up against his torso during the first half of pregnancy and very hard to measure. If you have a question about dates, see our article on how Baby Centre works out how pregnant you are . From eight to about 20 weeks, your baby will be measured from crown to rump as below: Pregnancy week Length (cm) Mass (g)8 weeks 1.6 cm 1 gram9 weeks 2.3 cm 2 grams10 weeks 3.1 cm 4 grams11 weeks 4.1 cm 7 grams12 weeks 5.4 cm 14 grams13 weeks 7.4 cm 23 grams14 weeks 8.7 cm 43 grams15 weeks 10.1 cm 70 grams16 weeks 11.6 cm 100 grams17 weeks 13 cm 140 grams18 weeks 14.2 cm 190 grams19 weeks 15.3 cm 240 grams20 weeks 16.4 cm 300 grams Then from about 20 weeks, your baby will be measured from crown to heel: Pregnancy week Length (cm) Mass (g)20 weeks 25.6 cm 300 grams21 weeks 26.7 cm 360 grams22 weeks 27.8 cm 430 grams23 weeks 28.9 cm 501 grams24 weeks 30 cm 600 grams25 weeks 34.6 cm 660 grams26 weeks 35.6 cm 760 grams27 weeks 36.6 cm 875 grams28 weeks 37.6 cm 1005 grams29 weeks 38.6 cm 1153 grams30 weeks 39.9 cm 1319 grams31 weeks 41.1 cm 1502 grams32 weeks 42.4 cm 1702 grams33 weeks 43.7 cm 1918 grams34 weeks 45 cm 2146 grams35 weeks 46.2 cm 2383 grams36 weeks 47.4 cm 2622 grams37 weeks 48.6 cm 2859 grams38 weeks 49.8 cm 3083 grams39 weeks 50.7 cm 3288 grams40 weeks 51.2 cm 3462 grams41 weeks 51.7 cm 3597 grams42 weeks 51.5 cm 3685 grams43 weeks 51.3 cm 3717 grams This information was compiled using the following sources: Doublet PM, Benson CB, Nadel AS, et al: \"\"Improved birth weight table for neonates developed from gestations dated by early ultrasonography.\"\""

Make sure your keet is fully hand trained, first. You don't want to get too many things confused in your training process. Have your keet hop onto your finger, where she's happy and content. Next, take a piece of lettuce and start nibbling on it. Don't push it in her face, or scare her with it. Just hold it where she can see it. Make happy noises (Yummmmm!) when you eat it."

Flag Do parakeet colors change as they mature or start out lighter and darken as they get older? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. If you are referring to their feathers getting darker or lighter as they mature then no. But in normal types of parakeets, such as the normal greens and blues, they have bars on their faces going down to their beaks that will vanish as they mature. If you are asking about their Cere (the fleshy part on their beak) It can be quite complicated. In MALE babies the cere will be a TRANSLUCENT pink with maybe some OPAQUE white around the nostrils. For FEMALES the cere will be mostly an OPAQUE white and maybe little blue. This is not always set in stone however. When they mature, males will have BLUE ceres and when it is breeding season they will turn an even darker blue."

Found in southern Asia, from eastern Pakistan and India east to Burma (Myanmar), and in a band across Africa, from Senegal to Somalia; introduced to parts of Europe, Middle East, ‘ China and the U. S. Lifecycle The rose-ringed parakeet is bold and adaptable enough to profit from human activities. It flourishes in cities and has escaped from captivity to colonize new areas. Habitat The rose-ringed parakeet prefers lightly wooded country in the lowland plains of tropical Asia and Africa, but it occurs up to 6,600′ in the Himalayas and the Ethiopian highlands. In rural India, the parakeet lives in areas of lush vegetation, breeding in deciduous forests. In much of its African range, however, the species is found in savannah woodland and arid, thorny scrub. The rose-ringed parakeet lives near human habitation, since farmland, parks and gardens provide it with easy pickings. A huge parakeet population lives in the cities of northern India and Pakistan.

The order is subdivided into three superfamilies: the Psittacoidea (\"\"true\"\" parrots), the Cacatuoidea (cockatoos), and the Strigopoidea (New Zealand parrots). [ 3] [4] Parrots have a generally pantropical distribution with several species inhabiting temperate regions in the Southern Hemisphere as well. The greatest diversity of parrots is in South America and Australasia. [ 5]The Cacatuoidea are quite distinct, having a movable head crest, a different arrangement of the carotid arteries, a gall bladder, differences in the skull bones, [6] and lack the Dyck texture feathers that—in the Psittacoidea—scatter light to produce the vibrant colours of so many parrots. [ 7] Lorikeets were previously regarded as a family, Loriidae, [8]: 45 but are now considered a tribe ( Loriini) within the subfamily Loriinae, family Psittaculidae. [ 9] [10] [11] Some species, such as the Puerto Rican amazon ( Amazona vittata) have had a population bottleneck (in this case reduced to 13 individuals in 1975) and subsequently have low genetic variability and low reproductive success, leading to complications with conservation. [ 12]No consensus existed regarding the taxonomy of Psittaciformes until recently. The placement of the Strigopoidea species has been variable in the past. [ 13] They were once considered part of the Psittacoidea, but recent 21st-century studies place this group of New Zealand species as their own superfamily next to the Cacatuoidea and remaining members of the Psittacoidea.

"text": "Advertiser Links for Parakeet [ what's this? ] The parakeet, also known as a budgie or budgerigar, is a small form of parrot with a flat tail, a small bill and striping on the head and wings. Graceful and energetic, parakeets are flock birds and tend to be very social, both with each other and with their human companions. Origins and Natural Habitat The budgerigar is native to Australia, and has survived for millions of years in the country's arid inner regions. They are nomadic, traveling in small-to-large flocks and moving as dictated by food and water needs. Appearance and Characteristics Size: An adult budgie is about 7 inches long and weighs an average of 1½ ounces. Plumage: The primary body color is light green. Black mantle markings with yellow accentuations line the wings and head, and most parakeets have purple face patches, black spots on the throat and dark blue tails. Due to selective parakeet breeding, significant color variations may also be available in your local pet store. Song/Chirp: The parakeet sings an expressive, emotional song that ranges in complexity from a few chirps to lengthier musical phrases and interludes, akin to the song of a lovebird."

In fact, the word \"\"parakeet\"\" means long tail. They are extremely social, active birds, and they love attention from their owners. It's no surprise that they are at the top of the list of bird pets. Parakeets have a wide color range that includes green, yellow, red, orange, blue and violet. Parakeets can learn to \"\"talk\"\" -- meaning mimic words. Some can even whistle. Health Requirements To ensure the good health of breeding parakeets and their babies, a male and female pair should be unrelated, free of disease and birth defects, and at least 1 year old. Nesting Requirements A cage for a pair of breeding parakeets should be a minimum size of 20 by 20 by 20 inches and should contain a wooden nest box that is at least 12 by 12 inches. Some parakeet breeders place wooden inserts into the bottom of their nest boxes to prevent splay legs."

For the purposes of this chart, babies are measured from the crown (or top) of the head to the rump (or bottom) until about 20 weeks. After 20 weeks, they're measured from crown to heel. This is because a baby's legs are curled up against his torso during the first half of pregnancy and very hard to measure. If you have a question about dates, see our article on how Baby Centre works out how pregnant you are . From eight to about 20 weeks, your baby will be measured from crown to rump as below: Pregnancy week Length (cm) Mass (g)8 weeks 1.6 cm 1 gram9 weeks 2.3 cm 2 grams10 weeks 3.1 cm 4 grams11 weeks 4.1 cm 7 grams12 weeks 5.4 cm 14 grams13 weeks 7.4 cm 23 grams14 weeks 8.7 cm 43 grams15 weeks 10.1 cm 70 grams16 weeks 11.6 cm 100 grams17 weeks 13 cm 140 grams18 weeks 14.2 cm 190 grams19 weeks 15.3 cm 240 grams20 weeks 16.4 cm 300 grams Then from about 20 weeks, your baby will be measured from crown to heel: Pregnancy week Length (cm) Mass (g)20 weeks 25.6 cm 300 grams21 weeks 26.7 cm 360 grams22 weeks 27.8 cm 430 grams23 weeks 28.9 cm 501 grams24 weeks 30 cm 600 grams25 weeks 34.6 cm 660 grams26 weeks 35.6 cm 760 grams27 weeks 36.6 cm 875 grams28 weeks 37.6 cm 1005 grams29 weeks 38.6 cm 1153 grams30 weeks 39.9 cm 1319 grams31 weeks 41.1 cm 1502 grams32 weeks 42.4 cm 1702 grams33 weeks 43.7 cm 1918 grams34 weeks 45 cm 2146 grams35 weeks 46.2 cm 2383 grams36 weeks 47.4 cm 2622 grams37 weeks 48.6 cm 2859 grams38 weeks 49.8 cm 3083 grams39 weeks 50.7 cm 3288 grams40 weeks 51.2 cm 3462 grams41 weeks 51.7 cm 3597 grams42 weeks 51.5 cm 3685 grams43 weeks 51.3 cm 3717 grams This information was compiled using the following sources: Doublet PM, Benson CB, Nadel AS, et al: \"\"Improved birth weight table for neonates developed from gestations dated by early ultrasonography.\"\""

Tweet Before we can talk about when a child will sleep through the night, we need to know what I mean when I say sleeping through the night. How long is sleeping through the night? If you search around you'll find anywhere from 5 -12 hours considered sleeping through the night for a baby. I have no idea where the 5 hour definition came from but it seems to be the more scientific definition. I think it is insane. What baby only needs 5 hours sleep? They need closer to 12 hours (well, 10-13, depending on the child). The only reason I can think people use this definition is to make people feel better sooner about their baby sleeping through the night. Then there's the common 8 hour definition you'll find."

There are times when a baby groans, moans, sweats, kicks and whimpers even when in deep sleep. All this can be very disconcerting especially to new parents. One concern of parents is baby sweating while sleeping. What could be causing this condition? Are there other sleeping habits of babies that you should be aware of? What Causes Baby Sweating While Sleeping? There are babies that sweat profusely more so, when they are in the deepest part of their sleep cycle at night and in the end, they are soaking wet. Since babies spend most of their sleeping time in the deepest stage of sleep, there is a high likelihood they will sweat at night more than older children and adults."

B. asks from Keller, TX on November 12, 200611 answers I have a 2 month old and I'm never sure how much awake time she needs. We're on a 3 hour eat, wake, sleep schedule. During the eating and wake portion she stays up around an hour - maybe a little more. And then sleep for about 2 hours. I always feel like she's not up for very long...before it's already time to put her back down for a nap. She does start yawning, closing her eyes for long periods of time, and gets a little fussy. So I know she's tired, but I'm wondering if that's an adequate amount of awake time. So basically she's up for an hour to an hour plus, then sleeps 2 hours, then does it again (except for at nights where she sleeps longer and isn't up after eating). And then, what are some creative things to do during the wake time to make sure I'm stimulating her enough?"

Skip to schedule9 month old’s sleep At this age, if you are not lucky enough to have a baby who sleeps through the night, most 9 month olds can sleep all night without a feeding and take two naps. However, some babies, in my experience, do better with one feeding after 4 or 5 a.m. and sleep longer than not feed and get an early wake-time. I would need to know your specific situation to make a recommendation, but just recognize that all babies are different, but by this age I would not expect more than 1 feeding, typically, if any at all. Your 9 month old should be taking 2 naps per day for a total of about 2-3 hours per day plus 11-12 hours at night. If you’re having trouble with naps, you might be interested in helping your baby nap. All babies vary, but here are some rough schedules you can use to make your own for your unique baby. I should warn you that I am in the camp that breast milk or formula should be the primary nutrition for the first year and solids come secondary. Below are the amounts we recommend.

She wanted to know what her toddler should sleep in after a sleep sack and wanted to know when a toddler can/will keep a blanket on. This article will talk about what babies and toddlers sleep in at various ages. It is probably rare that babies are not dressed warm enough as we, new parents, are overly worried our babies will be cold. But, babies can be dressed TOO warm just the same as not warm enough. In fact, it took us several weeks to a month to realize our few-week-old son cried a lot in the car seat because he was too hot! He was born in colder weather and we simply didn’t know how toasty that car seat kept him. Finally, one day, I took him out and felt how sweaty he was and we stopped dressing him as if he was going hiking to the top of Mount Everest in the dead of winter. Here are some general guidelines in what babies sleep in at various ages, but you do have to use your best judgment based on where you live, how hot/cold you keep the temperature in your house when your baby sleeps, and your baby’s preference (some will prefer to be warmer than others), among other factors. These are just guidelines and you know your baby best."

Less sleep, especially before the age of 41 months, has also recently been found to increase hyperactivity-impulsivity and to lower cognitive performance on neurodevelopmental tests. Sleep may affect more than just your child's brain Most research has concentrated on the cognitive or brain consequences of sleep loss, based on the belief that sleep is for the brain alone. However, there is growing evidence that short sleep duration results in metabolic changes that may contribute to the development of obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. According to a recent study from Johns Hopkins University, for each additional hour of sleep, the risk of a child becoming overweight or obese was lowered on average by 9%. The paper also showed that children who slept the least had a 92% higher risk of being overweight or obese compared to children with longer sleep duration. \"\""

Infants up to 3 months old should get 14 to 17 hours of sleep over a 24-hour period, says the National Sleep Foundation.

There are many options for where your baby can sleep, but in your bed is not one of them. Putting your baby in bed with you, or bed-sharing, is hazardous and increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) . While bed-sharing isn't a good idea, room-sharing (keeping your little one close by) can help make breastfeeding a whole lot easier. Here are ways to do that: Put a bassinet, play yard, or crib next to your bed. This lets you keep that desired closeness, which can be especially important if you're breastfeeding. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) says that having an infant sleep in a separate crib, bassinet, or play yard in the same room as the mother reduces the risk of SIDS."

"text": "\"Babies Baby Food When to Start Feeding Your Baby Solid Foods By Jennifer White | Reviewed by Joel Forman, MDUpdated January 13, 2018Share Pin Email Print Science Photo Library - RUTH JENKINSON/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images The best piece of advice I can give about when parents should move to feeding solids is to base that decision on the individual feeding needs of your baby and her unique physical development. Don't allow yourself to be pressured to start solids by the practices of other parents (or even your own past practices with previous children), by the marketing schemes of baby food manufacturers, or by the often inaccurate \"\"old wives tales\"\" on baby nutrition. The Debate of Feeding Solids at 4 or 6 Months of Age Generally, it is commonly accepted by health care professionals that the only food healthy babies receive during the first 4 months of life is breastmilk or infant formula. Research shows that introducing solids before this age may lead to significant health problems. So although the issue of starting solids can be clouded by many opinions, delaying the start of solids until at least 4 months of age is pretty clear. The current debate is then whether babies should start at 4 months or 6 months. Some health care groups say you can start solids at 4 months while others strongly encourage waiting until closer to 6 months of age. The thing we need to realize is that your baby's development isn't like a light switch - suddenly she is now ready for solid food when the day before she was not. Solid readiness is a progression of development, and every baby's point of solid readiness is individualized. I would curb the temptation to pick up the baby spoon and bowl simply because your child has turned 4 months of age."

This article will outline general guidelines about how many night-feedings you can expect at each age. Pediatricians all seem to disagree to the answer to the question when a baby can go all night without a feeding. There is Ferber who claims babies don’t need to eat at night after 3 months old and then there is Weissbluth who says that babies need 1-2 feedings up through 9 months old. Who’s right? They are both pediatricians with a lot of experience. Talk to your pediatrician and the answer will likely be even something different. Although I do really like Ferber’s book and have learned A LOT from it, I can not, in good conscience, ever recommend night-weaning at 3 months old. I think that is extreme to think that all babies can do that, particularly breastfed babies. Some parents are lucky enough that their baby does it on his own that young or younger, but many parents simply aren’t that lucky."

This first section involves looking at the scientific evidence about the nature of infant sleeping problems and distinguishing these problems from crying problems. The second section aims to explain this evidence, so parents have some helpful guidelines for preventing infant sleeping problems and dealing with them if they already are occurring. During the first 12 weeks after they are born, most infants go from short sleep and waking periods, which are spread fairly evenly over 24 hours, to longer periods of sleep during the night. By 3-4 months of age, around two thirds of infants are 'sleeping through the night' according to reports from parents, while one third continue to wake and cry out or otherwise get their parents' attention. Generally speaking, babies who continue to breast feed will keep waking in the night until an older age– a point I’ll come back to below. In any case, this is a remarkable achievement for most infants and an important and much anticipated developmental milestone for many parents. It is, however, a phase in a baby's life that is often misunderstood."

This milestone is a lot of fun and a lot of worry as well. One of the most important things to keep in mind is that your baby has so many years of food experiences ahead that there is no need to rush things!Remember, you are taking the first steps to helping your little one develop healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime. Here you will find pages of useful information and solid food charts for you to review and get a sense of what your baby may be eating at a certain age or stage. This information will help ease your mind as you are introducing solid foods and will also ease the transition to solid foods for your baby. Current Recommendations for Introducing Solid Foods Current recommendations indicate that breast milk or formula should be baby’s main source of nutrition until at least 6 months of age. While many pediatricians recommend starting solid foods sometime between 4 and six months of age, the earlier introduction of solid foods may have certain risk factors; consult your pediatrician. For example, the “Introduction of complementary feedings [solid foods] before 6 months of age generally does not increase total caloric intake or rate of growth and only substitutes foods that lack needed nutrients and the protective components of human milk (and formula).

Developmental signs that baby is ready for solids Solids readiness depends on both the maturity of baby’s digestive tract and baby’s developmental readiness for solids.

Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load General Guidelines Babies often are ready for solid foods at 4 to 6 months. The Babycenter website says that when babies are eager to eat cereal, strained fruits and vegetables, they are ready to give meat a try. Usually this happens between 7 and 10 months of age. Babies still tend to gag at that age. They also lack molars for chewing. So meat needs to be in the form of the strained meats in jars of commercial baby food or meat that has been pureed at home.

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."

The best time to introduce solid foods is when your baby has developed the skills needed to eat. This usually happens between the ages of 4 and 6 months. How do you know when your baby is ready? Babies who are ready to eat solids foods:are interested in foods (for example, they may watch others eat, reach for food, and open their mouths when food approaches)hold up their heads well, and sit up with little or no helphave the oral motor skills needed to eat (meaning that they don't push food of the mouth but move it to the throat and swallow it)usually weigh twice their birth weight, or close to it Wait until your baby is at least 4 months old and shows these signs of readiness before introducing solids.

Do NOT feel as though your baby should be eating solid foods according to any schedule. Your baby will eat as much solid foods as your baby needs – trust your baby cues. Start out slowly and let baby take time to taste and experiment with the food. Pay attention to your baby’s cues. She may want more if she continues to lean in for the spoon, opens her mouth or tries to grab the spoon and bring it to her. She may be finished when she turns her head away, clamps her mouth shut or cries as the spoon comes close to her. Don’t fret if there’s leftover food in the bowl and never force your baby to eat “one more bite” when she indicates she’s finished. This menu sample is for example and idea purposes only!

Mimicks your eating behaviors, such as opening her mouth wide when you open your mouth to eat. Grabbing your spoon is not a reliable sign of feeding readiness, since baby may be more interested in the noise, shape and feel of your utensils rather than the food stuff on them.

Why should my son start by peeing sitting down? How do I teach my son to pee standing up? Last updated: November 2015Does it really take longer to potty train boys than girls? Usually, though it's not clear why. The difference may be at least partially due to the fact that moms tend to be the primary potty-trainers in a family. Boys without a male role model to imitate in the bathroom may take a little longer to get the idea, while girls have the advantage of observing someone with the same equipment. The American Academy of Pediatrics says the reason may be that boys are more active than girls and therefore less likely to choose to stop and take the time to use the potty. It could also be that boys tend to need more time than girls – even if Dad is involved – because for them learning to pee in a potty is a two-step process. First they learn to do it sitting down, and then they have to master standing up (see below)."

"text": "\"When to start potty training? What is the right age for potty training? There is no set age at which potty training or toilet training should begin; the right time depends on your child's development and readiness. But don't worry, there are ways and signs to tell if your child is able and ready to be potty trained. Potty Training Readiness - 4 Signs of Child Readiness:physiological development (bladder and bowel control)motor skillshis/her cognitive and verbal development andemotional & social awareness.1. Physiological Development (Bladder and Bowel Control): In order for your child to be able to eliminate when s/he wants to (voluntary vs. involuntary), her/his sphincter muscles have to be developed / mature enough to delay excretion for a brief period of time. All my research including the American Academy of pediatrics say that children's elimination muscles reach full maturity somewhere between 12-24 months, and the average age of maturity is 18 months. So how is a parent to know if a child's elimination muscles are mature? Your child's behavior and actions will guide you in knowing how your child is developing in this area. Around his/her first birthday, your child will begin to recognize the sensation of a full rectum or bladder, signaling the need to eliminate."

"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": "\"Toilet training Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Definition Toilet training is the process of teaching a young child to control the bowel and bladder and use the bathroom for elimination. A child is considered to be toilet trained when he or she initiates going to the bathroom and can adjust clothing necessary to urinate or have a bowel movement. Toilet training is sometimes called toilet learning or potty training. Description The average age at which children complete toilet training in the United States is approximately three years old. In some cases children learn bladder control first; others learn bowel control before bladder control. Control is generally first achieved during the daytime, well before a child is able to stay dry at night. Some children achieve some control over bladder and/or bowel movements as early as nine months of age and are able to cooperate in controlling themselves to some degree by the age of 12 to 15 months. Most experts agree, however, that toilet training should only be initiated when a child exhibits certain signs of readiness that usually appear between the ages of two and three years of age. Unlike infants, toddlers know when they are urinating or defecating and may assume certain postures or become quiet when they are about to move their bowels. They have also learned the vocabulary their family uses for elimination."

Unless you plan on keeping your furry four-legged friend in a fenced-in backyard (not recommended), you'll have to teach them to use the bathroom outside the house and not inside. Unfortunately, however, Chihuahuas have a notorious reputation for being a breed that's difficult and downright stubborn to housebreak. In fact, some owners throw in the flag and simply lay out pee pads for them instead. The truth is that practically any Chihuahua, no matter how old they are, can be potty-trained when it's done correctly and under the right circumstances. Although Chihuahuas can be successfully potty-trained at any age, it's recommended that you start as soon you bring them into your home, preferably when they are still a puppy. During the first 6-12 months of a Chihuahua's life, their brains are developing at a rapid pace; therefore, they will naturally catch on to routines and consistency. You can use this to your advantage by instilling the basic potty-training commands in your Chihuahua's head. When they learn these principles at an early age, it will stay with them well into their adult years, making the potty-training process easier for the both of you.

A urinary tract infection (UTI) occurs when one or more parts of the urinary system (kidneys, ureters, bladder, or urethra) become infected with a pathogen (most frequently, bacteria). UTIs most commonly occur in females; about 50% of all females get a UTI during their lifetime. Many UTIs are not serious but if infection reaches the kidneys, serious illness, and even death, can occur. What Are UTI Symptoms? Bladder Infection Bladder infections are the most common type of UTI. Some individuals may have few or no symptoms; however, the usual symptoms include dysuria (pain or burning during urination), low abdominal pain, and/or urine that is cloudy or smells bad or unusual. What Are UTI Symptoms? Kidney Infection Some bladder infections do not resolve and get worse with the pathogens moving up (retrograde) the ureters to the kidneys. Symptoms may include those listed for bladder infections on the pervious slide, but often include other symptoms such as pain in the lower back (flank pain on one or both sides), fever, chills, and nausea and/or vomiting."

There are some points to keep in mind when planning or starting your potty training routine. No matter which method you decide to use, there will be accidents. Plan for them, accept them and move on with as little fuss and negative actions or punishment towards the puppy as possible. Usually with any puppies, accidents are due to very small bladders and bowels and poor control as their bodies develop, very similar to young human infants in fact. Avoid Punishing Your Lhasa Apso Avoid punishing or reprimanding your puppy for an accident, as it is likely to be more a fault of the owner for not taking the puppy to the potty area soon enough.

By Betsy Bozdech Reviewed by the Baby Center Medical Advisory Board Last updated: July 2016Does it really take longer to potty train boys than girls? Yes, although no one, including expert T. Berry Brazelton, seems to know why. In her book Toilet Learning, Alison Mack says the difference may be partially due to the fact that moms are usually the primary potty-trainers in a family. Boys without a male role model to imitate in the bathroom may take a little longer to get the idea, while girls have the advantage of observing someone with the same equipment. Even if Dad is equally involved, boys sometimes need more time than girls, possibly because it's a two-step process for them. First they learn to pee and poop sitting down, then they have to master part of the act while standing up. If your son takes longer to train than the girls in his preschool class, don't sweat it."

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."

"text": "Children begin to start producing body odor around the same time that they begin puberty. Age of puberty onset varies, and may be from 8 to 14 in girls and about 9 to 15 in boys. These are broad averages, and body odor production does not necessarily begin at the very first signs of puberty. In the first few years of puberty, body odor may not be prominent, and if a child showers daily, deodorant may not be needed. Body odor tends to increase with increased activity or with a raised body temperature, however, so one may note the need for deodorant for children who participate in sports, or for kids in warmer weather. Children may also produce body odor without noticeable sweating. Although antiperspirants are considered safe, a child who does not have noticeable sweat marks can easily get away with wearing a deodorant instead. A lot depends upon a child’s comfort level and also the reaction of peers to body odor. If a child notices a body odor smell, or if peers notice this, it can cause unnecessary isolation, and children can be introduced to several deodorants that might be appealing. Children who have sensitivities to strong fragrances may prefer an unscented or very lightly scented products."

And it’s an important feature of the body’s most unique organ: your skin. Nontoxic deodorant is one of the things that Allison considers the “last frontier” of natural products – people are reluctant to ditch their favorite conventional deodorants. We understand the reasons people hang on to conventional deodorants and antiperspirants: we don’t want to look sweaty, smell stinky, or feel uncomfortably damp in our armpits. Unfortunately, your deodorant, and particularly your antiperspirant, could be interfering with your body’s natural attempts to remove toxins and could potentially be causing long term health effects like breast cancer or Alzheimer’s disease. 1 Studies show that mothers who have used an antiperspirant containing aluminum salts (a common antiperspirant ingredient) absorb the aluminum transdermally and even pass the aluminum on to their children during pregnancy. 2You can actually change your own body odor!Did you know that using certain deodorants or an antiperspirant daily can change the bacterial microbiome in your armpits? Consistent use can actually make your sweat smellier (due to overproduction of a bad bacteria) if you briefly discontinue use. 3 Just because your sweat may smell strong if you forget to put on your antiperspirant for one day does not mean that you shouldn’t try to ditch your antiperspirant. In fact, that’s a good reason to try to detox your armpits and transition to a nontoxic option!First, Detox Your Armpits Once you correct the bacterial imbalances in your armpits, your sweat should not actually smell particularly unpleasant."

"text": "\"Is there really a difference between deodorant and antiperspirant? Yes, and the fundamental differences lie in the way these products work, and potentially affect health. Essentially they each use different chemical processes for minimizing body odor. Certain ingredients in either product may be unhealthy, but deodorant is frequently cited as the better alternative. Antiperspirants contain fragrance, but they also contain chemical compounds that block the pores to stop the discharge of perspiration. No sweat, no odor. Deodorants allow the release of perspiration, but prevent odor by combating it with antiseptic agents, which kill odor-causing bacteria. Many consumers do not realize how it works, assuming it is simply a fragrance that covers up body odor. Some choose antiperspirant, because rather than cover the odor, they prefer to eliminate it. Consumer advocacy groups continue to voice concerns over questions regarding common health and beauty products, and certain studies indicate potential health risks associated with aluminum compounds found in many antiperspirants."

Causes Prevention Treatments When to see a doctor Body odor is the perceived unpleasant smell our bodies can give off when bacteria that live on the skin break down sweat into acids. Some say it is the smell of bacteria growing on the body, but it is actually the result of bacteria breaking down protein into certain acids. It is also known as B. O., bromhidrosis, osmidrosis, or ozochrotia. What is body odor? Apocrine glands are located in several areas, including the armpits. When a body gives off a scent others may find unpleasant, it is known as body odor. Body odor usually becomes evident if measures are not taken when a human reaches puberty. People who are obese, those who regularly eat spicy foods, as well as individuals with certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, are more susceptible to having body odor."

"text": "\"Combat Body Odor Naturally Strong or offensive body odor is a sensitive topic, and an embarrassing problem that affects many people. Although commercial chemicals and artificial-scent sprays may help to temporarily control body odor, they won't eliminate the underlying cause. It is best to learn about more natural remedies and lifestyle changes to manage this problem and provide a fresher and cleaner scent. The way to eliminate body odor is not to mask it with unhealthy deodorant products, but rather to clean up your body from the inside out. In other words, if your armpits have a horrible raunchy smell, that's an indication your diet needs some adjusting. Understanding some of the causes of body odor will help provide you with a highly effective approach to treat this common problem. Causes of Body Odor The human body has many systems that are constantly at work, and waste byproducts are just a natural part of that process. As we take in food, we put out waste. The digestive process results in waste, our skin sweats to excrete waste, and the cells in the body are constantly replacing themselves. Each person's unique body odor can be influenced by diet, gender, health, and medication."

"text": "\"4 Things Deodorant Does To Your Body, According To Science By Elizabeth Enochs Mar 24 2016For a lot of us, slathering on deodorant every morning has become so second nature that we rarely stop to consider what deodorant actually does to our bodies. Sure, some of us choose not to wear it (which is totally OK) and some people literally don't even need to. But for those of us who do, the odds that we stop and think about how deodorant actually works are minimal. Everyone knows that deodorant keeps us from stinking — because that's kind of the whole point of wearing deodorant in the first place. The sole purpose of deodorant is to prevent body odor. Antiperspirants, which are technically a subtype of deodorant, function a bit differently — they keep us smelling fresh while simultaneously employing aluminum to stop up our sweat ducts and keep us from sweating excessively. However, it's worth nothing that even antiperspirants can't really keep our sweat glands from excreting some sweat; and on top of that, our bodies can become immune to the antiperspirants' sweat-reducing effects after awhile. But what you might not know (and what I definitely didn't know before I started researching for this article) is exactly how deodorant keeps us from smelling like ripe armpit all the time. Admittedly, deodorant is nowhere near as complex as antiperspirant. That said, if you (like me) wear only antiperspirant-free deodorant, here are four things you should know about what deodorant does to our bodies.1."

When you go through puberty, you will probably notice that you start to sweat more (especially on your armpits) and have more body odor. This is completely normal, but it does mean that you need to be more conscientious about your personal hygiene. Remember to shower every day and wear clean clothes. Applying deodorant every morning will also help you smell fresh and clean. [ 1]Some deodorants contain antiperspirants, which also prevent sweating. A regular deodorant without an antiperspirant will not prevent sweating but will prevent odor. Your hair may become more oily as well, so you may have to wash it more often than you used to.

The first modern, mass-produced deodorant, a cream applied by hand to the underarms, started improving social lives in 1888. By the 1950s, Americans were using roll-on deodorant (with an applicator similar to that of a ballpoint pen), and hand-dabbing our pits with cream was quickly becoming a thing of the past. Aerosol-spray deodorants followed about 10 years later, and stick deodorants came along in the 1970s, mixing deodorant with waxes, fats and emollients to form a solid bar packaged in a plastic, hand-held container.

First, if you have recurring yeast infections, you can figure out what's causing them and then work to prevent them, rather than just working to kill the yeast every time they take over. Second, if you know what kinds of things cause you to get yeast infections, you can be alert for symptoms and treat them early on with the generally-milder do-it-yourself remedies, rather than bombarding your body with drugs. Vaginal yeast infections are caused by Candida albicans, which, along with a few types of bacteria, are normally present in relatively small numbers in your crotch. Sometimes the yeast multiply rapidly and take over, causing a full-fledged yeast infection, or, in the heart-warming terminology of the medical establishment, candidiasis or monilia. This can be due to a change in the vaginal environment, injury, sexual transmission, or HIV. Common environmental disruptions that favor yeast include increased p H, increased heat and moisture, allergic reactions, elevated sugar levels, hormonal fluxes, and reductions in the populations of bacteria that are normally present. These can generally be traced to a few categories of culprits: ANTIBIOTICS are probably the leading cause of vaginal yeast infections in American wimmin, and are a great example of the important principle that by using technology to solve problems, we create other problems. Say you take an antibiotic to cure your sinus infection. The antibiotic kills the unwanted bacteria in your sinuses, but can also kill the \"\"good\"\" bacteria in your crotch, upsetting the balance of your vaginal ecosystem, allowing the yeast to take over.

"text": "\"Pheromones are volatile, odorous substances which are released by one animal and detected by another, causing some sort of physiological reaction. These reactions can manifest themselves in a variety of different ways: some pheromones modulate sexual activity, some affect aggression, some play roles in territory marking, and other pheromones have similarly diverse effects on the target animal. Pheromones have been demonstrated in a very large number of organisms ranging from amoebas to fish to mammals, including primates. However, the question of whether human olfactory signals exist has been a question of much debate and few definite conclusions. In this paper I will look at some possible examples of odor signaling in humans. Mammals of all sorts use olfactory signals to indicate willingness to copulate, define territory, mark their young, and signal aggressive intent. These processes can be seen in many animals used as models for human systems, including rats, monkeys (both Old World and New World), hamsters and mice. The fact that pheromones are important biological signals in a plethora of other species indicates that the possibility of human pheromones should not be discarded lightly. Although humans generally rate olfaction as their least important sensory modality, we still spend billions of dollars, years of our life, and a considerable amount of effort to modify the way we smell (at least in industrialized countries). These efforts typically include scrubbing with deodorant soaps and scented shampoos, applying deodorants to those parts of our bodies we feel need deodorizing, and finally applying perfumes and sprays to replace those natural odors we just discarded down the shower drain."

"text": "Physical Development in Girls: What to Expect Breast Development ( Thelarche)The first visible evidence of puberty in girls is a nickel-sized lump under one or both nipples. Breast buds, as these are called, typically occur around age nine or ten, although they may occur much earlier, or somewhat later. In a study of seventeen thousand girls, it was concluded that girls do not need to be evaluated for precocious puberty unless they are Caucasian girls showing breast development before age seven or African American girls with breast development before age six. It is not known why, but in the United States, African American girls generally enter puberty a year before Caucasian girls; they also have nearly a year’s head start when it comes to menstruation. No similar pattern has been found among boys. Regardless of a girl’s age, her parents are often unprepared for the emergence of breast buds, and may be particularly concerned because at the onset of puberty, one breast often appears before the other. According to Dr. Suzanne Boulter, a pediatrician and adolescent-medicine specialist in Concord, New Hampshire, “many mistake them for a cyst, a tumor or an abscess.” The girl herself may worry that something is wrong, especially since the knob of tissue can feel tender and sore, and make it uncomfortable for her to sleep on her stomach. Parents should stress that these unfamiliar sensations are normal. What appear to be burgeoning breasts in heavyset prepubescent girls are often nothing more than deposits of fatty tissue."

The specific activities of human prolactin (h PRL) have been further defined by the separation of its activity from growth hormone (2) and subsequently by the development of radioimmunoassays (3-5). Although the initiation and maintenance of lactation is a primary function, many studies document a significant role for prolactin activity both within and far beyond the reproductive system. Prolactin Secretion There are 199 amino acids within h PRL with a molecular weight of 23,000 daltons. Although human growth hormone and placental lactogen have significant lactogenic activity, they have only a 16% and 13% amino acid sequence homology with prolactin, respectively. In the basal state three forms are released: a monomer, a dimer, and multimeric species called little , big and big-big PRL, respectively (6-8). The two larger species can be degraded to the monomeric form by reducing disulfide bonds (9). The proportions of each of these prolactin species vary with physiologic, pathologic, and hormonal stimulation (9,10-12). The heterogeneity of secreted forms remains an active area of research."

Changes also happen to the breasts during the menstrual cycle and when a woman reaches menopause. When does breast development begin? Breasts begin to form while the unborn baby is still growing in the mother’s uterus. This starts with a thickening in the chest area called the mammary ridge or milk line. By the time a baby girl is born, nipples and the beginnings of the milk-duct system have formed. Breast changes continue to happen over a woman’s life.

"text": "\"The average age for girls to begin puberty is 11, while for boys the average age is 12. But there’s no set timetable, so don’t worry if your child reaches puberty before or after their friends. It’s completely normal for puberty to begin at any point from the ages of 8 to 14. The process takes about four years overall. Late or early puberty Children who begin puberty either very early (before the age of 8) or very late (after 14) should see a doctor to rule out an underlying medical condition. Read more about puberty problems. This page covers: Signs of puberty in girls Signs of puberty in boys Mood changes during puberty Puberty support for children Puberty support for parents and carers First signs of puberty in girls The first sign of puberty in girls is usually that their breasts begin to develop. It’s normal for breast buds to sometimes be very tender or for one breast to start to develop several months before the other one Pubic hair also starts to grow and some girls may notice more hair on their legs and arms. Later signs of puberty in girls After a year or so of puberty beginning, and for the next couple of years: Girls' breasts continue to grow and become fuller. Around two years after beginning puberty, girls usually have their first period."

The average age of onset is 9 1/2 years for girls and 10 1/2 years for boys. Although pubertal growth spurts may occur in girls 3 years before it appears in boys on an individual basis, the average difference is 1 year. Usually girls begin their pubertal growth spurt earlier than boys. In girls, what is the initial indication of puberty? Breast development In most girls, the initial indication of puberty is the appearance of breast buds, an event known as thelarche. The usual sequence of secondary sexual characteristic development in girls is breast changes, a rapid increase in height and weight, growth of pubic hair, appearance of axillary hair, menstruation (menarche), and abrupt deceleration of linear growth."

"text": "\"What are the symptoms of oral thrush? Oral thrush refers to the infection of the oral cavity with the Candida fungus. This is a very common condition in babies, especially in the first few months of life, when it is often passed on by the mother during childbirth; it may also occur in adults. The condition presents with slightly raised white or yellow patches on the tongue, cheeks, and roof of the mouth, which looks similar to milk curd but does not wipe off as easily. If removed, the area underneath will be sore and red and may bleed slightly. It is often painful and uncomfortable; in babies, this will be evident at feed time. What are the causes of oral thrush? The Candida fungus is responsible for the infection; whilst this is present in the mouths of around 50% of the population, it will only multiply enough to cause a noticeable thrush infection when the conditions are right - there are a number of factors which can influence this. In babies and small children, the immune system is still developing and the first time that the fungus is presented to the mouth will more than likely cause oral thrush. Recurrent oral thrush in children is uncommon, but may be caused either by the presence of Candida on the mother's nipples whilst breast feeding, or inadequately sterilised bottle teats in bottle fed babies."

"text": "\"Physical Changes During Puberty Puberty is made up of a clear sequence of stages, affecting the skeletal, muscular, reproductive, and nearly all other bodily systems. Physical changes during puberty tend to be more gradual and steady. This is comforting to many parents who feel childhood passes much too quickly. Changes in Body Composition & Height Most children have a slimmer appearance during middle childhood than they did during the preschool years. This is due to shifts in the accumulation and location of body fat. As a child's entire body size increases, the amount of body fat stays relatively stable, giving her a thinner look. Also during this stage of life, a child's legs are longer in proportion to the body than they were before. On average, the steady growth of middle childhood results in an increase in height of a little over 2 inches a year in both boys and girls. Weight gain averages about 6.5 pounds a year. A number of factors, including how close the child is to puberty, will determine when and how much a child grows."

Now that you know you are pregnant, one of the first things you want to ask your doctor is, “how many weeks pregnant am I?” Knowing the exact age of your growing baby depends on a few different things and the information below can help understand the very early weeks of pregnancy. The included chart can help you understand the different weeks, months and trimesters of pregnancy. How Many Weeks Pregnant Am I? Since it is nearly impossible to know the exact day that your ovaries released an egg and you conceived, doctors cannot accurately count the weeks of pregnancy from the estimated date of conception. In order to count the approximate weeks of pregnancy you will need to know the first day of your last menstrual period. Pregnancy due dates are counted 40 weeks from the first day of your last period. For example, if you are pregnant and it’s been 21 days from the first day of your last menstruation, then you are 3 weeks pregnant, even thought it may be less than 3 weeks that your baby has developed in you because you can only get pregnant after you ovulate, which would be around day 14 of your menstrual period.

First trimester symptoms vary from woman to woman, with some experiencing all known symptoms and others only a few. Duration of symptoms can vary as well. After eight weeks, the embryo is referred to as a fetus. Although the fetus is only 1 to 1.5 inches long at this point, all major organs and systems have been formed. During the first trimester, the fetus is most susceptible to damage from substances, like alcohol, drugs and certain medicines, and illnesses, like rubella (German measles). Your First Prenatal Visit Your first prenatal visit is the most thorough. A complete medical history is taken, a physical exam is done, and certain tests and procedures are performed to assess the health of both you and your unborn baby. Your first prenatal visit may include: Personal medical history. This may include taking record of any of the following: Previous and current medical conditions, like diabetes, high blood pressure (hypertension), anemia and/or allergies Current medicines (prescription, over-the-counter and nutritional supplements)Previous surgeries Maternal and paternal family medical history, including illnesses, intellectual or developmental disabilities, and genetic disorders, like sickle cell disease or Tay-Sachs disease Personal gynecological and obstetrical history, including past pregnancies (stillbirths, miscarriages, deliveries, terminations) and menstrual history (length and duration of menstrual periods)Education, including a discussion regarding the importance of proper nutrition and expected weight gain in pregnancy; regular exercise; the avoidance of alcohol, drugs and tobacco during pregnancy; and a discussion of any concerns about domestic violence Pelvic exam."

"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."

"text": "How To Tell If Your Cat Is In Heat Share Tweet +1 Pin it Being “in heat” or “in season” are the common terms used to refer to the oestrus cycle of the unspayed cat, indicating the fertile part of their cycle and the time when they are potentially able to conceive to have a litter. Being in heat will generate some fairly dramatic behaviours and personality changes in your cat for the duration, and also means that they will be in the mood for mating and may go out of their way to find a tom cat to mate with. If your cat is unspayed or you are considering keeping your cat unspayed to breed from them, learning to identify when your cat is in heat is important. Not only does this allow you to recognise when they are fertile and will be able to mate with a male cat to conceive, but it will also mean that you can take steps to prevent them from breeding when you don’t want them to, by keeping them inside and away from the presence of any males. Read on to learn more about cats and their heat cycle. At what age do cats first come into heat? Coming into heat for the first time indicates the onset of sexual maturity in the cat, and if you are not planning to breed from your cat, they should be spayed when they are old enough, to prevent them from coming into heat at all. Cats usually reach sexual maturity and undergo their first heat cycle between the age of six and twelve months old, although it can occur as early as four months of age, particularly within some pedigree breeds such as the Siamese and Burmese cats. Although the onset of the first heat cycle means that your cat can theoretically conceive, they should not be bred until they are one year old at a very minimum, and preferably at least two years old. How often do cats come into heat?"

That is called \"\"Juvenile\"\" or \"\"Early\"\" spay. The younger the kitten, the more quickly they recover and less pain they experience. The risk involved with anesthesia are only slightly higher if they are under 8 weeks. Not all veterinarians are trained to perform surgery on young cats. It is special training, so if your veterinarian is not trained to perform juvenile spays, then as close to 6 months as your veterinarian advises.

Female cats typically reach sexual maturity when they are about 4.5 – 7.0 lb (2.3-3.2 kg), or between five and nine months of age. However, it is possible for female kittens as young as four months to go into heat and become pregnant! In addition, domestic shorthair and longhair cats may reach sexual maturity earlier than purebred cats, and free-roaming cats may become sexually mature sooner than cats kept indoors. How long do they stay in heat? The duration of estrus (heat) varies in individual cats. Heat lasts an average of seven days, but may be as long as 21 days.

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": "By Elizabeth Xu If you have a cat or are considering getting a furry friend, chances are you’ve heard about spaying and neutering. It’s a common procedure and while the basics are fairly straightforward, there’s still a lot you should learn before your cat is spayed or neutered, including the risks, benefits, and how to best help your cat after the procedure. Just remember that although it can be difficult to see your pet in pain, chances are your cat will be back to being him or herself in a short time. Why Should You Spay or Neuter Your Cat? There are numerous reasons to spay or neuter your cat, including community, behavior, and health reasons. Cats are able to have four litters a year, which rapidly leads to overpopulation and, consequently, millions of euthanized cats yearly, says Dr. Meghann Kruck, D. V. M., of Kindest Cut, a low cost spay and neuter clinic in Minnesota. Sarah Humlie, executive director of the Pensacola Humane Society in Florida, agrees that overpopulation is a problem and explains that getting cats spayed and neutered is one of the Society’s missions. “Coming from the shelter side of it, we see spaying and neutering as a humane and pro-active way of trying to reduce the number of animals who are going to come into the shelters and possibly have their lives threatened or ended because of overcrowding,” says Humlie. Spaying and neutering can also prevent unwanted behavioral issues, says Dr. Adam Corbett, V. M. D., and Director of Shelter Operations and Surgery at the Pennsylvania SPCA. He says unaltered male cats tend to spray urine in the house and try to get outside more, which could lead to injury due to fighting with other cats or getting hit by a car."

However, most vets would recommend waiting until they are about 3 - 4 months old but prior to 6 months old. You do not want to wait too long. Spaying/neutering your cat early will prevent it from developing spraying habits and aggressive behavior. 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.

By Sophia Yin As a veterinarian focused on animal behavior, I see all kinds of cases and field all kinds of questions. And unlike with regular medical problems, I know that the solution will, unfortunately, require some work and habit-changes on the part of the owners. So when I get a call or email asking, “Help! My male dog mounts every dog he meets and needs to mark every object in sight. What do I do?” I am almost overjoyed. While the owners could go through all kinds of elaborate training which would involve 100% supervision around all other dogs as well as objects the dog might urine mark, they could instead opt for the easy way out. My first recommendation is “Get him neutered first and if the problem continues at all we can add a behavior modification plan.” The solution is so simple that I actually rarely have to make this recommendation."

"text": "How To Tell If Your Cat Is In Heat Share Tweet +1 Pin it Being “in heat” or “in season” are the common terms used to refer to the oestrus cycle of the unspayed cat, indicating the fertile part of their cycle and the time when they are potentially able to conceive to have a litter. Being in heat will generate some fairly dramatic behaviours and personality changes in your cat for the duration, and also means that they will be in the mood for mating and may go out of their way to find a tom cat to mate with. If your cat is unspayed or you are considering keeping your cat unspayed to breed from them, learning to identify when your cat is in heat is important. Not only does this allow you to recognise when they are fertile and will be able to mate with a male cat to conceive, but it will also mean that you can take steps to prevent them from breeding when you don’t want them to, by keeping them inside and away from the presence of any males. Read on to learn more about cats and their heat cycle. At what age do cats first come into heat? Coming into heat for the first time indicates the onset of sexual maturity in the cat, and if you are not planning to breed from your cat, they should be spayed when they are old enough, to prevent them from coming into heat at all. Cats usually reach sexual maturity and undergo their first heat cycle between the age of six and twelve months old, although it can occur as early as four months of age, particularly within some pedigree breeds such as the Siamese and Burmese cats. Although the onset of the first heat cycle means that your cat can theoretically conceive, they should not be bred until they are one year old at a very minimum, and preferably at least two years old. How often do cats come into heat?"

You’ll notice that ourrecipes for chicken laying feed andchicken starter/grower feed contain additional vitamins and minerals. What should you add to your grains and beans and why? First of all, laying hens need extra calcium to keep their eggshells strong. Most people add some combination of aragonite, ground limestone, marble, bone meal, or oyster shells to their feed, but on a small, backyard scale, you can feed eggshells back to the hens. Just be sure to crush the shells well so that your girls don’t realize that the eggs they’re laying are food, and be aware that just feeding the eggshells back isn’t quite enough. Luckily, calcium sources are pretty cheap — drop by your local feed store and chances are you can find one of the sources for a little over a dollar a pound. Many people who mix their own feeds simply offer one of the calcium sources in a separate trough to their hens — the girls will eat as much as they need and no more. The other additive to feeds is either salt or poultry nutri-balancer (which is a combination of calcium, phosphorous, salt, and trace minerals.) If your chickens live inchicken tractors, like ours, and have access to forage every day, chances are you can get by with just feeding some salt to your birds — which is a good thing because nutri-balancer is seriously expensive!"

Dual purpose breeds that lay fairly large amounts of eggs and also put on weight for meat production purpose would include the New Hampshire Red, Delaware and White Rock to name a few.

"text": "\"Feeding Chickens for Egg Production Small and Backyard Flocks January 24, 2018Written by: Dr. Jacquie Jacob, University of Kentucky The simplest way to feed a small flock of chickens is to purchase a complete feed from a feed store. Complete feeds provide nutritionally balanced diets for chickens. Today's chickens are descendants of the jungle fowl of Southeast Asia. Mature jungle fowl hens lay about 12 eggs per year, and only during the breeding season, but genetic selection has resulted in the development of a chicken that can lay almost 300 eggs per year and can lay year round. As a result of genetic selection and improved nutrition, hens start laying at a younger age and lay more, larger eggs, all with increased feed efficiency. Commercial feeds from a reliable feed store have all the nutrients in the right proportions that chickens need. A balanced diet is necessary for optimal growth and production. If you use a good diet that meets the dietary needs of your flocks, supplementing with other items will upset the balance of the diet. The ingredients used in different types of feed are similar, but the proportions vary depending on the particular chickens being fed. Each bag of feed is labeled with its specific use."

UP TIL NOW THEY,VE EAT CHICK STARTER WHAT AGE CAN I CHANGE TO LAYING PELLETS OR OTHER FEED?1 following 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Hi, You should feed chick starter until about 6-8 weeks- it contains higher protein for growth and feather development and usually a coccidiostat, once the chicks start looking almost fully feathered it's time to change their feed which you need to do gradually over a week or so or you may give them too much of a \"\"surprise\"\" and cause stress when their usual food source isn't available. What to feed next really depends on your feed supplier, so you really should go ask what's available. If you're lucky he will have a pullet grower mix which is generally suitable for birds from 8-14 weeks. It's usually a larger crumble than the chick starter, contains a little less protein and less of the coccidiostat (coccidiosis is still a risk at this age). After 14 weeks you should try to again gradually change the feed to a \"\"pullet developer\"\", which has the same ingredients as the grower minus the coccidiostat and again is a slightly larger crumble again. Unfortunately not a lot of feed places stock a good pullet developer, but it's OK to keep feeding the pullet grower- the only thing is that once you start noticing eggs, you must not eat the eggs for about a month after stopping feeding the grower because they will contain traces of the coccidiostat. When you start finding eggs, or noticing sexual behavior (such as the hens \"\"squatting\"\" when you approach them) that's when you start to need replacing your pullet feed with laying mix, and again, introduce it gradually. It's very important that you don't start feeding laying mixes too early as they contain a lot of calcium to encourage egg shell development."

You know what your birds are being fed and you give them a good life before it is time to eat them. The Cornish Cross is one of the most popular meat chickens. These are the large chickens you typically purchase from the grocery store. A common misconception with the Cornish Cross is that they are genetically modified (GMO). They are not. The Cornish Cross are simply a cross between two breeds chosen by their traits, and selectively bred over time to create this hybrid. As a result, you get a meat bird with amazing feed conversion and an ability to mature in eight weeks. When butchered, this breed gives you high quality, very tasty meat high in protein. When receiving your chicks, always provide them with a brooder that is enclosed, with a proper bedding of shavings, a towel, or pine pellets."

The main difference between peafowl and pheasants is in the plumage. Peafowl are very hardy birds and with proper care, can live forty to fifty years. The term “peafowl” refers to the species name. The male is called the peacock and the female is called the peahen. Offspring under the age of one year are called peachicks. Peafowl come in a wide variety of colors including blue, green, white, light brown, and purple. These colors and many other colors which were not mentioned have come from selective breeding done by people all over the world. The India blue and the green peafowl are the two most common colors of peafowl found in the wild."

"text": "�Care of Baby Chicks 1Christopher De Cubellis 2Each year many people enjoy ordering chicks from a hatchery or purchasing young chicks from a feed store. These chicks are raised primarily for home laying flocks. Some of these chickens are raised for the family table, while others are kept mainly as pets. Whatever purpose the adult chickens serve, special care must be given to young chicks in order for them to survive and grow into healthy adults. Care of Chicks Chicks, or “biddies” are very delicate and need special care in order to survive, grow, and become productive adults. Thinking about what chicks need before they arrive will help ensure a healthy flock of chickens. Chicks need a clean environment that protects them from drafts and keeps them at the proper temperature. Their environment must provide them with constant access to food and water; it should have proper flooring material, and be located in a safe place away from predators. A brooder is usually used to provide all of these necessities for the chick, especially in late winter and early spring when most people obtain chicks and temperatures are still cool. Brooder Requirements Brooders can range from a commercially purchased metal or wire brooder (see Figure 1) to a cardboard box equipped to handle chicks."

Many restaurants are adding it to their menus in an attempt to be more European. There are some grocery stores that carry rabbit meat but most are unable to, due to the lack of supply. Cruise lines are big buyers of rabbit meat. Research facilities and universities also purchase a lot of NZW rabbits for medical research and testing. So with all this demand, why is it so hard to make a living off rabbits? Because RABBITS ARE A VOLUME BUSINESS, bottom line. A large number of does would have to be managed to earn big rewards. It is very difficult to make substantial money from breeding rabbits, unless you are a commercial breeder with hundreds of rabbits and on a continuous breeding program. Even then, the returns may be low when the costs of employing staff for cleaning and for the care of the rabbits are taken into account."

Posted by The Happy Chicken Coop on September 17, 2015 Posted In: Features, Managing Your Flock The oldest chicken ever to have lived was called Matilda, and she was sixteen years old when she finally died. Her life circumstances were not ‘average chicken’. She belonged to a pair of stage magicians who took great care of her. Also, she never laid any eggs! She had quite a luxurious life with minimal stress- she apparently enjoyed being a ‘stage chicken’, even appearing on the Jay Leno show!Aside from exceptional birds like Matilda, how long can we expect our hens to live? The lifespan of a chicken depends on many things: breed, environment, genetics and keeper are just a few things to consider. In commercial settings, hens are usually kept a couple of years before slaughter. The aim of commercial businesses is to have a ‘high egg to low feed ratio’. Once the hen goes past her prime of laying, she will be sent to the slaughterhouse."

They wonder when their children will start to roll over, crawl, and eventually walk. Once the milestones have been reached, parents will often turn to watching for their children to start talking. Your toddlers will grow to use words to describe their thoughts, but even before they start speaking, they are working to listen and learn language from those around them. Because so much of their progression relies on parents, it is important for you to see when a child should start talking, how it develops, and how you can help when they start talking. When Should My Child Start Talking? Your baby will learn to talk somewhere in the first two years of their life. Long before they actually start speaking aloud, they will be learning the rules of language and how we use words to communicate."

"text": "\"How Children Understand Death & What You Should Say Children will be exposed to sickness and death at some point in their young lives because death is part of the natural cycle of life. Even young children who may not understand death react to grieving parents. Older children grieve themselves. As with all grieving, time eventually heals. Parents need to support children through the grieving process to help them resume their lives. Understanding of Death Depends on Age & Development At various developmental levels, children have a different understanding of the finality of death. Your approach to discussing death will depend on your child's level of understanding of 4 main concepts of death: Irreversibility (i.e., death is permanent)Finality (i.e., all functioning stops with death)Inevitability (i.e., death is universal for all living things)Causality (i.e., causes of death)Children's lack of understanding of these ideas affects their ability to process what happened and cope with their feelings. Infants & toddlers Infants and toddlers do not understand death, but they can sense what their caregiver is experiencing. Take care of yourself and recognize your own need to grieve. Keep as many routines as possible intact."

It's a subject even the youngest children know something about because everyone uses roads, and road danger impacts on everyone. It’s also a vitally important subject. Road crashes are a major cause of death and injury among the young, with the risk rising as children reach secondary school age and have more independence, and young drivers and passengers facing significant risks. Danger from traffic is also a big factor in whether children and young people are able to walk and cycle to school, to the park or to see friends, and therefore their ability to be healthy and socially active. Below are some guidelines on teaching road safety for children and young people in age groups from age 2 to 18, and some ideas for lessons and activities, including some that can be run in assemblies or citizenship lessons, and some that can be incorporated into subjects like Maths, Science, Drama and English.

The better the reading skills children have and the earlier they have them determines how rapidly and how well they will achieve in school. Failure to be able to read at grade level by 8 years old is predictive of future learning and behavior problems. Parents Are The First and Best Teacher The first teacher any child has is his or her parent. Children develop language skills by listening to and mimicking their parents. When children are born they have the capability of producing any sound made in any language spoken in the world. During the early years, they hear the sounds and make the sounds that make-up the language spoken in their culture. The more time parents spend talking with their child the richer the language development of that child. As children begin to say their first words, feedback from those around them help them to learn the meaning of the words and begin to use them to get things they want and to please those around them. They gradually learn how to put them together to form phrases and later sentences."

"text": "\"Earlier this month the \"\"Too Much, Too Soon\"\" campaign made headlines with a letter calling for a change to the start age for formal learning in schools. Here, one of the signatories, Cambridge researcher David Whitebread, from the Faculty of Education, explains why children may need more time to develop before their formal education begins in earnest. In the interests of children’s academic achievements and their emotional well-being, the UK government should take this evidence seriously David Whitebread In England children now start formal schooling, and the formal teaching of literacy and numeracy at the age of four. A recent letter signed by around 130 early childhood education experts, including myself, published in the Daily Telegraph (11 Sept 2013) advocated an extension of informal, play-based pre-school provision and a delay to the start of formal ‘schooling’ in England from the current effective start until the age of seven (in line with a number of other European countries who currently have higher levels of academic achievement and child well-being). This is a brief review of the relevant research evidence which overwhelmingly supports a later start to formal education. This evidence relates to the contribution of playful experiences to children’s development as learners, and the consequences of starting formal learning at the age of four to five years of age There are several strands of evidence which all point towards the importance of play in young children’s development, and the value of an extended period of playful learning before the start of formal schooling. These arise from anthropological, psychological, neuroscientific and educational studies. Anthropological studies of children’s play in extant hunter-gatherer societies, and evolutionary psychology studies of play in the young of other mammalian species, have identified play as an adaptation which evolved in early human social groups. It enabled humans to become powerful learners and problem-solvers. Neuroscientific studies have shown that playful activity leads to synaptic growth, particularly in the frontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for all the uniquely human higher mental functions."

As your child grows and develops, she may giggle with friends about \"\"private parts,\"\" share \"\"dirty\"\" jokes, and scan through dictionaries looking up taboo words. Her curiosity is natural, and children of all ages have questions. When she is ready to ask you, as a parent you should be ready to answer. Where to Begin: Everyday events will give you plenty of chances to teach your child about topics related to sex. These are called teachable moments. For example, talking about body parts during bath time will be much more effective than talking about body parts during dinner. A pregnancy or birth in the family is a good time to discuss how babies are conceived and born. Watching television with your child may also be a good time to discuss sexuality issues."

"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."

You may wonder about how to get your child to sleep through the night. Maybe you have a new baby and want to learn how to help them develop good sleep habits that will last a lifetime. Some children may have chronic sleep difficulties, and many children (like most adults!) are actually going through their days sleep-deprived. Read on for information on all these issues and more, and for lots of links to even more resources to help your kids (and you) get a better night’s sleep. What do I need to know about sleep cycles? When people sleep, they cycle between rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. In REM, your eyes move around fast, you don’t move your body much, and you dream."

"text": "The Age Parents Should Start Talking to Kids About Alcohol Yahoo Parenting • August 31, 2015PHOTO: Tetra Images/ Getty Images Parents should start talking to their children about alcohol at age 9, says a new report from the American Academy of Pediatrics aimed at preventing binge drinking in young people. As many as 50 percent of high school students currently drink alcohol, and within that group, up to 60 percent binge drink, the authors wrote in the report, published today (Aug. 31) in the journal Pediatrics. Among 12- to 14-year-olds who drink, approximately half binge drink, according to the report. And while the total number of binge drinkers this age remains very low (the authors cite one survey which revealed 0.8 percent of 12- to 14-year-olds binge drink), parents should still be aware of the consequences. The reason to start talking to kids about alcohol before they even reach middle school is that “kids are starting to develop impressions [about alcohol] as early as 9 years ,” said Dr. Lorena Siqueira, clinical professor of pediatrics at Florida International University and co-author of the new report. So for prevention to work, it’s better for parents to influence children’s ideas about alcohol early, rather than trying to change their impressions later, from positive to negative, she said.“ [ Alcohol] is the substance most frequently abused by children and adolescents,” Siqueira told Live Science. But because it’s a legal substance, the consequences are downplayed, she said. [ The Drug Talk: New Tips for Today’s Parents]“When I have kids in the ICU [intensive care unit], and I tell the parents it’s alcohol, they’re relieved,” Siqueira said. But they shouldn’t feel relief, she added. “ ["

What's the difference between childcare and preschool? Childcare centers are generally an option for working parents who need their children to be taken care of during the day; centers accept babies as well as toddlers and are full-time, full-year programs. Preschool refers to an early-childhood educational class for 3- and 4-year-olds. Many offer a part-time schedule (for example, a few hours a day, two to five times a week) as well as full-day care, but only from September to May. Yet the terms are often used interchangeably. A childcare center with experienced, well-trained teachers and stimulating activities offers kids similar advantages to a preschool. \"\" In fact, many preschools are part of childcare programs,\"\" says Linda Smith, executive director of the National Association of Child Care Resource & Referral Agencies.

"text": "\"When Should Babies Start Crawling, Walking & Talking?by SHARON PERKINS June 13, 2017Babies, like adults, vary considerably in their abilities. No two babies begin crawling, walking or talking at the same age, even if they're in the same family. Each child develops at an individual pace, although most children fall into a certain range for meeting developmental milestones. If your baby falls outside the general guidelines, talk to your doctor, but don't panic; a small percentage of perfectly normal babies do things earlier or later than most. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Crawling The age at which babies crawl varies, and so does the method they choose. Some crawl on hands and knees, while others pulls themselves in an army-style crawl across the floor. Some don't put their knees on the floor but move crab-like on hands and feet. Some babies never crawl but choose to roll or scoot on their well-padded behinds across the floor. Babies often go backwards before they go forwards. Most start crawling between 6 and 10 months, Baby Center.com reports."

"text": "Infancy Study: Toddlers Who Are Slow to Talk Still Develop Normally By Alice Park @aliceparkny July 04, 2011Read Later Gary L. Benson / Getty Images Email Print Share Follow @TIMEHealth A toddler’s first years are paved with milestones — the first smile, the first step and perhaps most importantly, the first word — all indicators of how well an infant is developing. But the latest research suggests that parents need not worry so much about delays in speech; when baby’s first word comes late, it doesn’t necessarily spell trouble. Reporting in the journal Pediatrics, researchers in Australia say that children who were late-talkers at age 2 did not show any increased risk of behavioral or emotional problems throughout their childhood or adolescence, compared with children whose language development followed what experts consider a “normal” trajectory. Led by Andrew Whitehouse, a psychologist at Telethon Institute for Child Health research at the University of Western Australia, the scientists studied more than 1,300 2-year-olds and followed them until they were 17 years old. At age 2, the team measured the toddlers’ language ability with a standard test of vocabulary; those who fell below the 15th percentile for their age and gender were considered to be late-talkers. Whitehouse also evaluated the children’s behavioral development by asking parents to fill out questionnaires at five different points during childhood. The surveys asked about the youngsters’ emotional states and their responses to difficult situations, such as whether they lashed out or internalized their feelings when faced with frustration. The scientists found that while late-talking children were more likely to have emotional and behavioral problems at age 2, compared with other children, “these problems are not enduring,” Whitehouse said in an email. “ They were at no more risk for these problems at later ages. ”He believes that most of the behavioral problems among the 2-year-olds were due to their frustrations with not being able to communicate their feelings fully, and are not necessarily signs of more serious psychosocial issues such as depression or attention deficit disorder."

Essential Nutrients: Dietary triglycerides supply the body with essential fatty acids. As long as an adequate amount of essential fatty acids are consumed, the body is capable of endogenously producing other fats and cholesterol needed. Essential Nutrients = Production of other fats and cholesterol (if needed). c. Flavor and Satisfaction: Some fat in diet add flavor to foods and contributes to feeling of satiety, or satisfaction after a meal (Keeps people from feeling hungry before they do to bed). These effects are partly caused by the slower rate of digestion of fats compared with that of carbohydrate. A nutrient is essential if either of the following is true (1) its absence will create a specific deficiency disease or (2) the body cannot manufacture it in sufficient amounts and must obtain it from the diet."

Contextual Intelligence component of Sternberg's Triarchic theory; AKA practical intelligence; refers to the ability to find solutions to realistic and personal problems, make the most of talents by seeking out situations that match skills, shaping situations to work the skills, and knowing when to change the situations to better fit their talents; not an ability taught in schools Binet Simon Scale first issued in 1905; consisted of 30 tests arranged in order of increasing difficulty; first test of intelligence, developed for testing children; created by Alfred Binet (director of the psychological laboratory at the Sorbonne, Paris, France) and Theodore Simon to identify children who might have difficulty in the French public school system; by 1908 enough children had been tested to predict how the average child would perform at each age level; allowed Binet to develop the concept of mental age IQ intelligence quotient; created by Lewis Terman based off of Binet's concept of mental age; numerical value given to intelligence that is determined from the scores on an intelligence test; average score is 100; MA/CA X 100 = IQStanford Binet Intelligence Scale adaptation to the Binet Simon Scale developed by Lewis Terman in 1916; called such because Terman worked at Stanford; contains 15 subtests that measures 4 kinds of mental abilities that are universally considered to be the components of intelligence: verbal reasoning, abstract/visual reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and short term memory; test items vary according to person's age; test begins just below the expected mental age and the examiner determines the basal age (point where examinee answers 3 questions in a row correctly); best used for children, adolescents, and young adults WAIS III Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale 3rd Edition; developed in 1939 by David Wechsler (psychologist at Bellevue Hospital in NYC); created because a test was needed for adults; like the Stanford Binet but also includes components on handling life situations; 2 parts: verbal (information, simple arithmetic, & comprehension) and performance (find the missing part, copying patterns, arranging pictures); innovation is in scoring because it offers separate scores for verbal and performance as well as IQ; points are given for complexity of answer, reflective qualities of answer, speed and accuracy of answers WISC III Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children 3rd Edition; developed by David Wechsler for children based in the same format as his test for adults; separate scores for verbal and performance as well as IQPerformance Tests intelligence tests that minimize the use of language; designed for persons who do not read or write, or speak English; Examples: Seguin Form Board-1866, tests peoples with mental retardation, essentially a puzzle; Porteus Maze-series of increasingly difficult printed mazes where subjects trace their way out of the maze without lifting their pencil; Bayley Scales of Infant Development-1993, contains 3 scales: 1) perception, memory, and beginning of verbal communication, 2) sitting, standing, walking, & manual dexterity, 3) emotional, social & personality development assessment, can detect early signs of sensory & neurological defects, emotional difficulties, & home environment troubles Culture Fair Tests intelligence tests designed to reduce cultural bias by minimizing skills and values that vary from one culture to another; also minimizes or eliminates the use of language; tries to downplay skills and values, such as the need for speed, that vary from culture to culture; Examples: Goodenough-Harris Drawing Test-subjects are asked to draw the best picture of a person that the can, drawings are scored for proportions, correct and complete representations of the parts of the body, detail in clothing, etc (not on artistic talent); Culture-Fair Intelligence Test-designed by RB Cattell, combines some questions that demand verbal comprehension and specific cultural knowledge with questions that are not tied to North American culture, by comparing the 2 scores on the 2 kinds of questions, cultural factors can be isolated from general intelligence; Progressive Matrices-consists of 60 designs with a section removed where the subject is asked to match the missing section, involves logical relationships and requires discrimination Reliability ability of a test to produce consistent and stable scores; can be determined by giving the same test over a period of time to see if the results are the same; criticism is the practice effect (remembering answers from one administration to the next)Split-Half Reliability method used to determine if a test is reliable while avoiding the practice effect; dividing the test into 2 parts and seeing if the scores of the 2 parts agree Correlation Coefficients statistical measures of the degree of association between two variables; method of expressing reliability Validity ability of a test to measure what it is designed to measure;Content Validity one measure of validity; refers to the test's having an adequate sample of questions measuring the skills or knowledge it is supposed to measure Criterion-Related Validity one measure of validity; refers to the validity of a test as measured by a comparison of the test score and independent measures of what the test is designed to measure Mental Retardation condition of significantly sub-average intelligence combined with deficiencies in adaptive behavior; implies an inability to perform at least some of the ordinary tasks of daily living skills; IQ of 0-70 in categories of mild, moderate, severe, and profound Giftedness refers to superior IQ combined with demonstrated or potential ability in such areas as academic aptitude, creativity, and leadership; in Georgia children must qualify in 3 of 4 categories (IQ, achievement, motivation, & creativity); first studies by Lewis Terman in 1920s Creativity ability to produce novel and socially valued ideas or objects; one aspect of intelligence; Examples: Torrance Test of Creative Thinking-describe a scene; Christensen-Guilford Test-lists words containing a given letter, names things in a category; Remote Associates Test (RAT)-verbal response to 3 unrelated words;

Though I am sure your daughter is very good and is strong, she cannot go en pointe, and any instructor that puts her en pointe at such a ripe age is insane.

"text": "When Raven Wilkinson made it into the illustrious Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo in 1955, she was told to blend in. The Civil Rights Movement was barely underway, and she was a black ballerina — the company’s first black ballerina — touring the Jim Crow South. She was told to wear white makeup and stand near the foreign dancers. “I didn’t want to put the company in danger, but I also never wanted to deny who I was,” Wilkinson, now 80, told Pointe Magazine in 2014. “ If someone questioned me directly, I couldn’t say, ‘No, I’m not black.’ Some of the other dancers suggested that I say I was Spanish. But that’s like telling the world there’s something wrong with what you are. ”Early in her career, Wilkinson faced overt racism. Whites thought she had no place in the ballet. Southern blacks resented her for trying to pass for someone else."

A modern pow wow is a specific type of event for Native American people to meet and dance, sing, socialize, and honor their cultures. Pow wows may be private or public. There is generally a dancing competition, with many different types of traditional dances, music and regalia, often with significant prize money awarded. Pow wows vary in length from a one-day event, to major pow wows called for a special occasion which can be up to one week long. In popular culture, such as older Western movies, the term has also been used to describe any gathering of Native Americans, or to refer to any type of meeting, such as among military personnel.

The age range is wide and heavily debated. Some teachers say a child should start pointe work at eight, others twelve, and still others even older or younger. But how do you know the right answer for your child, your student or yourself? One of the major considerations is bone ossification, which is the natural process where soft tissue hardens or calcifies to form bonelike material. There is wide and very well documented research on bone ossification. At ages 10-11 the ossification of the bones of the feet, in girls, is normally only 50-60% complete. By age 11½-12 it is approximately 75% complete, and by age 13-14 the fusion is usually at 100%. But, the development of the bones in the feet continues up until 20-25 years of age."

Anjuli_Bai Members4,7341,774 posts Location: San Diego, California, USAPosted May 2, 2012When a girl goes on pointe is a combination of several factors - some of them a matter of individual readiness such as technical capability but every bit as important is the readiness and maturity of the skeleton. One should never argue with the skeleton. There are several places in the skeleton which takes many years to harden from cartilege to bone - and the toes are one of those places. There is a classic book: \"\"Anatomy and Ballet\"\" by Celia Sparger in which this is discussed in detail. There are pictures of x-rays of the bones of the feet at the ages of 4, 11, and 19. In the x-ray of the 4 yr old one can see actual open space between the joints of the toes - filled with in soft invisible cartilege."

"text": "Locomotor and Non-locomotor Movement Many choreographers and dancers in the church become overwhelmed as they approach both choreography and/or dance technique for church dance ministry. Most are not professionals and most have a limited dance background. Some have no dance background. With numerous dance styles to draw from (ballet, hip-hop, modern, jazz, tap, etc.) and a plethora of dance techniques to know, it is difficult to decide how to approach movement creation for ministry presentation as well as how to design movement for dancers with a wide range of movement abilities. Moreover, there are a large group of churches nationally who utilize a “worship dance” team on Sunday mornings. These are dancers who give glory to God through movement but have no formal training in the field of dance. How should we approach dance and choreography in ministry with such a wide range of diversity in age and dance skills? Think with me for a moment. What movement base do all dance forms (including worship dance) have in common?"

"text": "\"Dancers Trending Theresa Ruth Howard Apr. 28, 2017 12:38PM ESTWhy Some Dancers Are Giving “Hiplet” Serious Side Eye Giphy Hiplet is sweeping the nation. Between Ted X, Refinery29, Desigual campaigns, Anna Wintour's #madeforher fundraiser and the plethora of morning show spots, the hybrid dance craze—known for its sassy runway-style walks on pointe and crab-like bent-knee jazzy chassés—has gone viral. Hiplet is the brain child of Homer Hans Bryant, a former Dance Theatre of Harlem principal who, in 1981, founded Chicago Multi-Cultural Dance Center (then called Bryant Ballet), aka the studio where young Sasha and Malia Obama studied before moving to the White House. Bryant started putting hip hop movement on pointe in 1994 with a piece he choreographed for his students, called The Rap Ballet. That evolved into what became hiplet (a portmanteau of hip hop and ballet), which is now a regular class at his school.

"text": "Arts, Music, and Recreation ›Performing Arts How Long Do Pointe Shoes Last? Whether you're new to pointe or an experienced dancer, get the right shoes Share Flipboard Email Print Yagi Studio/Getty Imagesby Treva Bedinghaus Updated October 16, 2017Pointe is a type of dance performed on the tips of the toes. This technique is one aspect of classical ballet that involves pointe work where ballet dancers put all of their body weight on the tips of their feet while wearing pointe shoes. Ballerinas and Pointe Shoes In order for dancers to balance, slide, spin and perform other movements, they must use pointe shoes that support toe dancing. Dancers use pointe shoes specifically so they can best balance their weight to the shoe directly within the arch and surround the toes, which other shoes do not provide. Because of this modern-day invention, dancers can now perform steps and turns they could not do in the past when only ballerina slippers were available. Teachers generally go through a few factors before deciding their student is ready for pointe. This involves evaluating the stage of physical development, age, strength, alignment and more. When first starting pointe, the first pair of shoes can really hurt at first as dancers get used to wearing and dancing in them. As you practice with your shoes, take care of them by cleaning them regularly to prevent dirt and general wear and tear."

Whilst some injuries are true accidents in the sense of being unavoidable, many are the result of your body being unprepared for tasks that you have set it. There is an unwritten law among both élite athletes and casual exercisers that a warm-up prior to exercising is essential for any programme to be successful, and is an important part of prevention of injuries. However, within the population of dance teachers and students there has been confusion in the past as to what that warm-up should involve. Many in the Ballet world have believed that the preparatory exercises at the barre constitute the warm-up, but this is a fallacy. The body needs to be thoroughly warmed up before any set exercises take place if they are to be carried out as successfully and safely as possible. A good warm-up is a group of exercises performed immediately before an activity that provides the body with a period of adjustment from rest to exercise. It is designed to improve performance and reduce the chance of injury by preparing the dancer mentally as well as physically. A warm-up should have the following beneficial effects:•Increased elasticity of the muscle/ tendon unit. This allows greater flexibility of the joints and reduces the risk of injury."

It not only entertains the audiences, it brings about gratification for the performers as well. Dancing is enjoyed all across the globe and it is a major highlight and function in societies and communities of the human race. One dance in particular that bears its roots in the United States is that of square dancing. Square dancing began as immigrants came to this country, bringing with them their customs and traditions, which included song and dance of their native homelands. For instance, people from the Appalachian Mountains introduced to Western society, mountain dances. Settlers from Great Britain who migrated to the United States bought with them country dances called Contras and Reels. There were mixed dances, marches and couple dancing; all introduced into mainstream societies in America as American Folk Dance. American Folk dance is a mixture of dance steps involving style, timing and form as dancers moved to the beat of music while they danced in a circle, square or in a line formation."

"text": "Dance Dance Tweetby Judith R. Mackrell Dance, the movement of the body in a rhythmic way, usually to music and within a given space, for the purpose of expressing an idea or emotion, releasing energy, or simply taking delight in the movement itself. Dance is a powerful impulse, but the art of dance is that impulse channeled by skillful performers into something that becomes intensely expressive and that may delight spectators who feel no wish to dance themselves. These two concepts of the art of dance—dance as a powerful impulse and dance as a skillfully choreographed art practiced largely by a professional few—are the two most important connecting ideas running through any consideration of the subject. In dance, the connection between the two concepts is stronger than in some other arts, and neither can exist without the other. Although the above broad definition covers all forms of the art, philosophers and critics throughout history have suggested different definitions of dance that have amounted to little more than descriptions of the kind of dance with which each writer was most familiar. Thus, Aristotle’s statement in the Poetics that dance is rhythmic movement whose purpose is “to represent men’s characters as well as what they do and suffer” refers to the central role that dance played in classical Greek theatre, where the chorus through its movements reenacted the themes of the drama during lyric interludes. The English ballet master John Weaver, writing in 1721, argued on the other hand that “Dancing is an elegant, and regular movement, harmoniously composed of beautiful Attitudes, and contrasted graceful Posture of the Body, and parts thereof.” Weaver’s description reflects very clearly the kind of dignified and courtly movement that characterized the ballet of his time, with its highly formalized aesthetics and lack of forceful emotion. The 19th-century French dance historian Gaston Vuillier also emphasized the qualities of grace, harmony, and beauty, distinguishing “true” dance from the crude and spontaneous movements of early man: The choreographic art . . . was probably unknown to the earlier ages of humanity."

She usually lets them continue to nurse off and on for another 2-4 weeks depending on how many kittens and what her diet is like. Kittens can be adopted early but 8-10 weeks is the best age.

Core Feline Vaccinations The core vaccinations are those that every kitten should receive. The two main feline core vaccines are those for feline panleukopenia virus and feline viral respiratory disease, which protects against both calicivirus and feline herpesvirus 1. These vaccines are generally combined in a single shot. Most vets give this shot when a kitten is about 6 weeks old. Some vets also recommend a new vaccine, which protects your kitten from virulent systemic feline calicivirus, a form of feline viral respiratory disease.

So Web MD asked Drew Weigner, an American Board of Veterinary Practitioners certified specialist in feline medicine and a past president of the Academy of Feline Medicine, how to avoid kitten pitfalls. Q: Can my kitten get diseases from her mother? A: Most definitely. They can get feline leukemia, FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), and any number of parasites. The list goes on and on. But because the test for FIV detects antibodies, kittens will sometimes test positive from the antibodies they receive from their mother, without actually having the disease."

"text": "\"Frequently Asked Questions How do you tell if the cat is a stray/feral or belongs to someone who is letting it out? It is often difficult to know the difference. 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."

While it may be commonplace, placing the kitten in a new home when it's too young can be dangerous. If removed from their mothers' too soon, kitten's lose out on essential nutrients. Kittens and Age Mother cats will typically start to wean their kittens off their milk at one month of age. That does not mean that the kittens are ready to go home, however; the process is slow and can take several weeks. The weaning process usually continues for another month and the kittens are fully weaned between eight and ten weeks of age. Towards the end of the process, the kittens should start eating specially formulated kitten food. As soon as the weaning transition begins, small amounts of kitten food can be added to their diets even if they are still nursing. Getting a kitten to eat dry food can take some time, so they need to be introduced to it slowly to get used to it before going to a new home."

"text": "\"provided courtesy of Cynthia King, The Kasbah, Ltd. General Behavior Care Purchasing Registration and Showing General Why are Savannah cats such desirable companion pets? Many people dream of sharing their lives with an exotic cat but most find that this is not a practical option. Specialized dietary requirements, challenges brought on by less than perfect litter box habits, space constraints and federal, state and local laws prohibiting exotic ownership make acquiring an exotic cat difficult, if not an impossible challenge for most people. The Savannah cat, bred to strongly resemble an African Serval, is not only very exotic in appearance, but the largest domestic cat in existence today. Much smaller than its African Serval ancestor, the Savannah demonstrates a milder, more predictable temperament, and does not require the specialized care of an exotic cat, which makes it a very appropriate and exciting alternative to those longing for pure exotic ownership. What's the difference between a Savannah and a Serval? An African Serval is a 30-50 pound exotic cat, regulated in the United States as a wild animal. The Savannah is a hybrid of the African Serval and grows to approximately 15-20 pounds at maturity. While strongly resembling the African Serval, Savannahs are bred to demonstrate domestic temperament and are classified as domestic cats by both the USDA and The International Cat Association ( TICA ).

"text": "\"Training Cats Do Kittens Remember Siblings?by Jean Marie Bauhaus No matter how much a kitten might bond with her siblings, she's not likely to remember them after leaving the litter. Although some cats do enjoy the companionship of other cats, unlike dogs, cats are not pack animals. Unless a pair of kitten siblings are raised together, they are not likely to remember or recognize each other after becoming separated. Even a short separation can be enough to make them forget. Leaving the Litter Kittens typically are ready to leave the litter and be adopted by eight weeks of age. By this time, a kitten has formed a strong attachment to her mother and litter mates, and may show signs of missing her family after being separated from them. However, it doesn’t take long for a kitten to reattach to her human family and other pets in the house. Once this happens, the kitten usually forgets all about her mother and siblings and adapts to being a part of her new family. If your kitten shows signs of distress at being separated from her litter, you can hasten her reattachment to you by simply responding to her cries and caring for her as her mother would.

"text": "Home Kittens When Can Kittens be Weaned – Four Weeks of Age When Can Kittens be Weaned – Four Weeks of Age By Staff 1119Kittens feed on their mother’s milk for a certain amount of weeks after being born so that they can get the proper nutrients necessary to grow strong and move into the next stage of their lives. The mother’s milk is a special condensed milk called colostrum, which contains antibodies to help fight disease. It is also very high in essential proteins. The mothering process can sometimes be confusing to a human who has never owned a cat that has given birth to kittens in their home. The average cat owner doesn’t know much about how cats communicate with each other, especially a mother to its children. It is uncanny how a mother cat is able to teach her young basic principles such as how to use the litter box and how to clean themselves in such a short amount of time. One question that many new kitten owners have is, when can kittens be weaned? Weaning is when you take the kittens off of the milk and start feeding them solid foods. It is a gradual process that requires some patience. Here are a few indications that it is time to start adjusting your new kittens to their new diet of dry cat food and meats."

"text": "\"Pets Cats How long till i can sell my kittens?how old do the kittens have to be to give them away Follow 33 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Definitely not before they are 8 weeks old, but it would be better if you can wait until they are around 10 weeks old. Some people, even prefer to wait until the kittens are 12 weeks old before separating them from their mother. Even though the mother cat weans them at around 4 weeks old, and they might seem physically ready to leave, emotionally, they are not. These extra weeks are vital for their social development, because it's during that time that she teaches them manners. Also by play fighting with their siblings, they learn exactly how painful biting and scratching can be, and when they've over-stepped the mark by being too rough. ( Often aggressive adult cats were hand-raised as kittens and missed out on being properly socialised).

Well more often than not mama cat is not too far away and has not actually discarded her babies. Here are some suggestions on what your next step should be: Do not disturb the kittens It is best to 1st observe from a distance for a few hours to determine if mom is returning to her nest. The mother cat may be out searching for food, taking a break, or even hiding from you. If you see kittens and no mom, wait a few hours before trying to rescue them. The kittens have a better chance of survival with their mom. If mom returns, the best thing you can do is place some fresh cat food and water out for her. It is best not to continue to check on them more than once a day as not to disturb the nest."

Unlike a stray cat, a totally feral cat will USUALLY not: Let you touch her. Vocalize (purr or meow). Come out to eat during the daylight hours, unless they are starving and foraging for food to survive. Mark objects by rubbing his nose or tail on them if you are watching. Roll around on the ground affectionately in front of you. Approach the food bowl until after you are out of sight. To further complicate things, feral cats can be classified as totally feral, semi-feral, or reverted feral. Semi-feral cats and reverted feral cats can become very bonded with their caretakers and will often eventually let you touch them, vocalize, or eat in front of you."

Responsible cat breeders keep them to 12 weeks. and your cat's kittens deserve just as good a start in life as the pedigreeds. Kittens separated too young are more likely to have behaviour problems.

People who think it is OK to give them away / sell them as soon as they start eating solid food are only looking at one narrow thing, not the big picture Susan N has some very good points about questions to ask prospective adopters, and not giving away kittens free to people you don't know well. People do not always want them for humane reasons, for example there are people who pretend they want a pet but really are collecting \"\"free to good home\"\" kittens and puppies to sell them to labs. By charging over $35 you make it not worth the while of people who don't want them for the right reason. . If you get them at least their first shots & worming, that is not only better for their health, but it gives you a good reason to ask for a fee since the new home should be going to get the shots done anyway."

When little kitties reach puberty -- as early as 4 to 6 months of age -- they'll be able to reproduce, and they'll possibly begin some unpleasant behaviors, too. To avoid either issue, you can have your little one neutered or spayed as early as 6 to 8 weeks old. Maturity Once a kitten reaches sexual maturity, usually between 4 and 6 months of age, he is able to produce offspring. This means that your little girl kitten could be giving birth to little kittens well before she's 1 year old. Your kitten's behavior will also change once he or she hits puberty: Male kitties begin to spray smelly urine to mark their territory, and females yowl when in heat. Both males and females have a strong desire to mate and will try any method of escape they can to get outside and find a prospective partner. While it's never too late to fix a cat, you'll circumvent mating behaviors by having your little guy surgically altered before he reaches 6 months old. Same goes if your little guy's a girl.

"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."

Neutering a male rabbit (buck) will not only prolong his life, it will help eliminate hormone related fighting and aggression. Fixed rabbits are easier to litter box train, less likely to display hormone-related sexual/aggressive behavior and generally make more reliable and pleasant house companions.

Teach your new rabbit that you are nothing to be scared of. Use its name and let it come and sniff your hand before you take it from its hutch. I always prefer my rabbits to continue on the food they are used to but if you want to switch to your choice do this gradually, mixing a little into the current food, gradually increasing the new food over a week period, then you can switch to just the new food. Rabbits will not eat dirty hay but need to graze on fresh hay almost continuously to keep their teeth in order. You can get hay racks which attach to the wire of the hutch. Rabbits need a daily supply of fresh dry-food, hay and water. If your rabbit has been used to eating greens then these can be offered however too many greens can cause soft droppings. I do advise not giving your baby rabbit greens until they are at least 16 weeks old."

"text": "The spaying of a female rabbit or doe has the medical term ovario-hysterectomy which involves the surgical removal of the ovaries and, quite often, the uterus. Veterinarians call this type of surgery “major” due to a need to enter the abdomen. It is usually advised to spay a female rabbit between the ages of four and six months although, following certain pre-surgery tests, the surgery can occur later in the rabbit’s life. As is usually the purpose of the procedure, it is an irreversible operation preventing the rabbit from ever breeding. The main reasons for spaying rabbits are to prevent unwanted breeding and to reduce the risk of certain diseases. At what age should a female rabbit be spayed? Between four and six months of age is when most rabbit owners have their pet spayed. This is around the time when the average rabbit reaches sexual maturity. It is advised to have female rabbits spayed sooner rather than later because the surgery becomes more complicated as the pet gets older. Since the operation occurs under general anaesthetic the risk of the operation is increased for elderly does."

Rabbits in the wild live in big groups and are very sociable animals, so it makes sense that they should live with at least one other bunny friend! Once you have witnessed a bonded pair of rabbits interact together, it's unlikely you would ever want to keep a solitary rabbit. While rabbits do enjoy human company and will tolerate or enjoy living with other animals, it does not replace the fact another rabbit will be the best companion for them where they can talk the same language, understand each other's body signals, and play, groom, relax, eat together and look out for each other. Which pairing of rabbits is best? The best and easiest pairing is a neutered male and a spayed female. It is possible to have any pairing of males and females, especially if they've been brought up together from birth, but a male and female is the most likely to get along. Even if you have 2 girls or 2 boys, they should both be neutered in order to make them a healthier and more relaxed pair."

How long do rabbits live? A rabbit's lifespan is influenced by breed, living conditions and healthcare but the average lifespan is likely to be around 8 to 9 years. It can be helpful to think of one year in a rabbit's life as ten years in a human's life, so an 8 year old rabbit could be thought of as approximately 80 years old in human terms. As with humans, improvements in rabbit medicine and healthcare are enabling rabbits to reach very old age, in some cases as much as 12 years old, or 120 in human terms. How much influence does age have on a rabbit's behaviour? Once other factors such as breed, neutering/spaying, living conditions and healthcare have been factored out, age is probably the greatest influence on a rabbit's behaviour. While all rabbits have different personalities and may mature at different rates, this article aims to give a rough overview of the different lifestages of a rabbit.0 - 3 months old: Babyhood Baby rabbits, or 'kits', are born hairless and with closed eyes. They are completely dependent on their mother, who usually feeds them once a day at most. Their eyes open at around 10 days and they continue to nurse on their mother's very rich milk until weaning at around 3 to 4 weeks old, when they also start to move around and 'walk'. Baby rabbits should be kept with their mother until they are at least 6 weeks old, preferably 8 weeks old."

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 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."

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.

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."

Is Your Pet Rabbit's Pee & Poop Normal? Do Rabbits Get Along with Other Pets? Top Rabbit Resources Transcript So, people are always interested in how old a rabbit is especially if they’re trying to adopt a rabbit from a shelter. Unfortunately, rabbits who come into shelters don’t come with tags on them telling us how old they are and it is very hard to tell the age of a rabbit. There really is no reliable way. Some people look at their teeth, but in fact you can have a young rabbit that has pretty lousy teeth and you can have an older rabbit that has beautiful teeth just as you can with dogs. With small breeds of dogs, you can find a young dog with lots of tartar and you can find an older dog with brilliant gleaming white teeth that look like toothpaste ads."

They start hopping out of their nest area shortly after their eyes open around 10-14 days of age. They stumble, they try to wash their face like the big bunnies, but tumble over while learning what balance is all about. They start eating hay and veggies. Then they start trying to dance! Baby rabbits are the cutest most adorable little creatures in the whole world-for about 10-12 weeks! And then all hell breaks loose.

"text": "\"It is highly recommended to neuter female rabbits to prevent the occurance of malignant uterine tumours (uterine adenocarcinoma). Some studies have found that almost 80% of rabbits will develop malignant changes in their uterus by 6 years of age. Female rabbits deposit fat in the suspensory ligaments of the uterus as they age, so early neutering not only has the benifit of preventing these tumours developing, but also means the operation is smaller, quicker, and less traumatic than neutering a female rabbit later in life. Early neutering is also highly recomended to help with social behaviours in rabbits. These are gregarious animals, and are best kept in pairs or small groups, but if not neutered this can lead to unwanted pregnancy, and sometimes severe fighting and injuries. While castrating single males is not essential from a health point of view, it does help prevent antisocial behaviours such as urine spraying. Rabbits mature sexually before 6 months of age. As general guidance female rabbits can be safely neutered (spayed) from 16 weeks of age as long as they are over 1kg in body weight. Males can be castrated when their testicles have descended into the scrotum, usually by about 12 weeks of age. Sadly, not all veterinary surgeons are equally knowledgable or experienced with rabbit surgery and these patients specific needs."

"text": "Natural Nutrition II: Pellets and Veggies Jul 10, 2011In the first article in this series, we discussed the need rabbits have for indigestible fiber. 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)."

"text": "What Age Do Children Learn to Ride a Bike?by GAIL SESSOMS June 13, 2017A child’s ability to learn how to ride a bicycle depends on her physical development, coordination, and mastery of gross motor skills and fine motor skills. Most children are ready to ride a bicycle by the time they are 5 years old, according to the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Physical Readiness Your child needs a certain level of balance and coordination to ride a bicycle. Children who cannot walk steadily without support have not developed enough balance to use a ride-on toy, especially a bicycle. The physical factors that determine the age for learning to ride a bicycle are balance, rotational speed of the bike's wheels and propulsion. Training wheels can provide more balance as your child learns, and the act of pedaling, or self-propulsion, allows your child to control the speed.3- and 4-Year-Olds Children ages 3 and 4 years are in a period of significant gross motor skills development. They learn to balance on one foot; walk on their tiptoes; and climb, hop and skip. Three-year-olds can pedal, use a handlebar and operate three-wheeled vehicles, such as tricycles, but they do not have the balance required to operate a bicycle with only two wheels. Because of increased coordination and muscle control, some 3- and 4-year-olds are able to ride small bicycles with training wheels and can progress to riding without training wheels. Children in this age group need foot brakes since they are not yet able to safely use hand brakes.4- and 5-Year-Olds Children who are 4 and 5 years old lose interest in simple ride-on toys and are ready for the bicycles used by older children."

"text": "Fitness Active Play Best Age and Method for Learning How to Ride a Bike By Vincent Iannelli, MD, a board-certified physician Updated March 29, 2018Share Pin Email Print Jordan Siemens/Digital Vision/Getty Images Riding a bike is a lot of fun and great exercise for kids. Learning to ride a two-wheeled bicycle without training wheels is also an important milestone. Children usually learn to ride a bike sometime between the ages of 3 and 8, with an average of just over age 5. Riding a Bike While developmental skills are one of the factors that influence when your child will start riding a bike on his own, availability is another. Your child isn't going to learn until he tries to take off his training wheels and gets on a two-wheel bike. Other things that influence when kids learn to ride a bike can include: Siblings, friends, or neighbors who are riding two-wheeled bikes, as that is often a big push for a child to learn to ride Availability of a safe place to ride Having an interest in learning to ride, which isn't as high in some kids who prefer skateboards or scooters You may wonder whether the age at which your child learns to ride a bike matters. Most kids will learn to ride when they are ready, but a review of studies showed that injuries were higher in kids who started riding at age 3 to 5 versus those who learned a little later when they were 6 or 7 years old. Bicycles for Kids Bicycles serve a lot of functions in childhood, from developmental tool to toy, all the way to a way for kids to get around the neighborhood. And they often serve all their functions at the same time, even as your kids get older. Which bike you get has more to do with personal preference than any strict rules of how kids should learn to ride a bike."

Objectives After completing this course, the participant will be able to: Identify the developmental issues and health needs of, and preventive care for infants and children Identify developmental issues and health needs of, and preventive care for adolescents Identify developmental issues and health needs of, and preventive care for adults Identify developmental issues and health needs of, and preventive care for aging adults Introduction There are significant physical and developmental differences between infants and children, adolescents, adults, and the aging adult. This module will discuss those differences and how they influence the healthcare needs of these specific populations. As compared to adulthood, the periods of infancy and childhood, adolescence, and old age are times of intense growth and development. Compared to adulthood, the health needs of these age groups will be discussed in greater depth and detail than those of adults, and the nutrition and medication issues of adults will not be covered. Infants and Children: Ages 1 Month to 12 Years The anatomy and physiology of an infant or a child differs from an adult's in many ways other than height and weight, and clinical interventions must be applied with these factors in mind. Children have less pulmonary reserve than an adult and have a proportionally higher oxygen requirement. They can maintain central organ perfusion during significant fluid loss because of powerful peripheral vasoconstriction that shunts blood from the limbs to the central circulation. This leads to the cool, mottled extremities and decreased peripheral pulses which is characteristic of shock in children."

Neither of us parents are intense bike riders, but we like biking for the purpose of getting some fresh air and exercise. We don't expect seeing serious speeds, and our neighborhood has pretty decent off-street paved bike paths.

"text": "\"Fine motor skills Definition Fine motor skills generally refer to the small movements of the hands, wrists, fingers, feet, toes, lips, and tongue. Description Motor skills are actions that involve the movement of muscles in the body. They are divided into two groups: gross motor skills , which include the larger movements of arms, legs, feet, or the entire body ( crawling , running, and jumping); and fine motor skills, which are smaller actions, such as grasping an object between the thumb and a finger or using the lips and tongue to taste objects. Both types of motor skills usually develop together, because many activities depend on the coordination of gross and fine motor skills. Infancy The hands of newborn infants are closed most of the time and, like the rest of their bodies, they have little control over them. If their palms are touched, they will make a very tight fist, but this is an unconscious reflex action called the Darwinian reflex, and it disappears within two to three months. Similarly, infants will grasp at an object placed in their hands, but without any awareness that they are doing so. At some point their hand muscles relax, and they drop the object, equally unaware that they have let it fall. Babies may begin flailing at objects that interest them by two weeks of age but cannot grasp them. By eight weeks, they begin to discover and play with their hands, at first solely by touch, and then, at about three months, by sight as well."

Unlike permanent above ground or in ground swimming pools, inflatable pools are temporary, easy to set up, and relatively inexpensive. Manufacturers use soft plastic to make these pools, so they do need careful handling. Pool owners must also be sure to follow the proper safety procedures. By learning the proper techniques for using an inflatable pool, pool owners can extend the pool's life and ensure a safe play environment. Choosing an Inflatable Pool There are a huge variety of inflatable pools on the market, so buyers should narrow down their selection by focusing on the age of the intended users. Different types of pools are appropriate for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and older children and adults. Age Group Pool Features Babies and toddlers Shallow pool Low sides Non-slip bottom Sunshade Preschoolers Pool can be up to 18 inches deep Slide Older children and adults Pool can be up to 3 1/2 feet deep Length can vary from about 8 feet to 18 feet across Pool should include pump and filter system Smaller wading pools are less expensive, but they may only have one layer of plastic, making them more susceptible to holes.

When we tried one on him today, he fussed mightily and pulled it off. He does this with any kind of hat. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting him to accept the helmet? We won't force him to ride in the trailer if he doesn't want to -- but we'll never know if we can't get him to wear the helmet properly. Are we trying too young? Should we wait a while until he understands the concept of \"\"no helmet, no ride\"\"? My daughter did the same thing - it was a major hassle getting her just to try them on, and it took us a long time to find one that fit properly because of her obstinance."

Previous guidelines recommended women have their first Pap three years after they become sexually active or at age 21 -- whichever came first. Now it is recommended no earlier than age 21 regardless of when they became sexually active. Age 21 is the right age regardless of whether and when they have been sexually active. Women who have had the HPV vaccine should follow the same screening guidelines. Women between the ages of 21 and 30 should have a Pap smear every three years. This was revised from previous recommendations that it to be done annually and updated from recommendations that it be done every two years. For this age group, HPV testing is not used for screening, but may be used to follow up on an abnormal Pap test result.

You may know a friend who had a pap smear showing a pre-cancerous condition of the cervix, known as dysplasia. You may even know a woman who had a condition called carcinoma in situ of the cervix, but these abnormalities are not life threatening as long as a woman is under a doctor’s care and doesn’t ignore the condition. The Pap smear was developed by Dr. George Papanicolaou in 1954. This painless technique has been responsible for saving tens of millions of lives world-wide since its use became popularized.

What You Need to Know About Your Cervix The cervix is the lower portion of the uterus. It is approximately two inches long, and it's tubular in shape. It widens during childbirth to allow for the passage of the baby. It also allows for the passage of menstrual fluid from the uterus, and sperm needs to travel through the cervix in order to reach the uterus.

By Tracee Cornforth Updated February 16, 2018Share Pin Email Print GARO/PHANIE / Getty Images If you've been getting a Pap smear every single year for cervical cancer screening, it's probably safe to reconsider. Here's what you need to know about the latest Pap smear guidelines. What Is a Pap Smear? A Pap smear is a test to detect cervical cancer that requires having cells scraped from the opening of the cervix to be examined under a microscope. Screening has been found to reduced cervical cancer deaths by allowing doctors to find cancer early and treat it, or prevent it from developing in the first place. Pap smears are part of routine gynecological visits that, until 2012, was recommended annually for all women 21 and older. Current Guidelines Both the American Cancer Society and the United States Preventive Services Task Force updated their recommendations in March 2012, moving away from annual Pap smears to a three-year schedule for most women. That's because cervical cancer generally takes 10 to 20 years to develop, making annual testing an unnecessary medical procedure for most women. The current guidelines are as follows: All women should begin cervical cancer screening at age 21."

"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."

A physical can also be a preventive step. It allows you to catch up on vaccinations or detect a serious condition, like cancer or diabetes, before it causes problems. During a routine physical, your doctor can also check vitals, including weight, heart rate, and blood pressure. Purpose What does a physical exam address? Your doctor will use a physical exam to see how your body is performing. Depending on your personal health history, your doctor may choose to focus on certain areas. If you have a family history of heart disease, for example, you may receive additional blood pressure checks, blood tests, and diabetes and cholesterol screenings. Based on test results, age, and personal health history, the exam is also an opportunity to discuss future prevention measures with your doctor.

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.

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. ["

Research has shown that the lifetime productivity of beef females can be increased by calving heifers at two years of age. This goal can be achieved by producers willing to provide the required nutrition and management to the growing replacement heifer. Age at First Calving Producers should aim to calve their replacement heifers by two years of age. This practice will improve the profitability of the beef operation by offsetting the high costs of feed, labour and investment in raising replacements. To produce the maximum pounds of calves in her lifetime, a cow must calve each year starting as a two-year-old. Research from Oklahoma shows that this is indeed true-heifers calving at two years of age produced an extra 330 pounds of calf on a lifetime basis over heifers calving at three years of age. Nutrition and Development of Replacement Heifers Optimum reproductive performance and lifetime productivity of a cow are clearly tied to proper nutritional management of replacement heifers during growth and development of structure and reproductive function. For heifers to reach puberty at 14-15 months of age, they must be adequately grown, but not overconditioned. Three factors associated with puberty in the replacement heifer are weight, age and breed."

These factors include the breeding efficiency and fertility of the cow herd, feed utilisation, animal behaviour, future carcase merits of steers and future breeding efficiency of heifer weaners. Weaning and the cow herd The weaning of calves instantly reduces the stresses on the cow. Weaning allows the cow to transfer nutrition, previously going into milk production, to her own normal body functions including improving her own condition and preparing herself for the next calving. The important aspects of herd fertility - calving percentage, calving pattern and calving span - are strongly affected by cow condition. The better the condition of a cow at calving, the better her milk supply and the sooner she will show oestrus after calving. Weaning of calves at 6-7 months, from two-year-old heifers, light condition and later calving cows, allows the cows to improve in condition, calve in better condition and show oestrus earlier. This should condense the calving time of the herd. Drought situations In a severe drought calves can be weaned as early as six weeks if they are placed on a high protein (18 per cent) concentrate diet and carefully managed. Weaning at this stage will conserve the body condition of the cows, stimulate oestrus activity, ovulation and ensure reasonable conception rates at joining."

Beef consumption has been gradually decreasing since the 1970s, when it was over 70 pounds per capita, to less than 55 pounds today. While domestic consumption has been declining, foreign demand has been very strong with the U. S. exporting record amounts of beef in recent years. Traditional cattle-feeding enterprises grow weaned calves (450 to 600 pounds) and yearling steers or heifers (550 to 800 pounds) to slaughter weights of 1,100 to 1,400 pounds. Cattle-feeding operations exist in all regions of the United States, but most large operations are in the Great Plains from Colorado and Nebraska to Texas. Most cattle-feeding operations are relatively small. Over 95 percent of all operations have fewer than 1,000 head, but these small feedlots market around 15 percent of the cattle fed each year. In the northeastern United States, a mix of beef breeds, crossbreeds, or dairy beef (mostly Holstein steers) are typically finished in feedlots."

"text": "\"Featured Articles Pelvic Measurements and Calving Difficulty01 November 2006By David J. Patterson and William O. Herring Department of Animal Sciences, University of Missouri - Although researchers agree that birth weight is the most important measurable trait affecting calving difficulty, there is evidence that the size and shape of the pelvis also affect a heifer's ability to calve. Calving difficulty Calving difficulty results in major economic loss to the beef cattle industry. Estimated losses resulting from dystocia (calving difficulty) equal or exceed $750,000,000 annually. Calving difficulty influences the economics of a cow/calf enterprise through increased calf death loss, increased labor and veterinary costs, reduced subsequent reproductive performance of the cow, potential loss of the cow, and reduced milk production. Calf mortality may be four to eight times greater in dystocia cases than in normal births. The majority of calf deaths occur within the first 24 hours following calving (58 percent), with 75 percent of the total occurring within the first week of life. Studies indicate that calf death loss due to dystocia accounts for the single largest perinatal and postnatal death loss category through the first 96 hours after birth. A number of factors affect calving difficulty, including: Birth weight of the calf Pelvic area of the cow Gestation length Sex of calf Inadequacies in heifer development Body condition of the cow at calving Abnormalities in hormone profiles at the time of birth Abnormal presentation of the calf at birth We also know that the single major cause of dystocia is a disproportion between size of the calf at birth (birth weight) and the cow's birth canal (pelvic area). Differences in pelvic area are generally due to pelvic height, with discrepancies between the dam and fetus more likely to occur for pelvic height and depth of calf chest than for width measures. Pelvic size, independent of cow weight, affects calving difficulty."

A basic knowledge of dressing percentage is important in understanding slaughter cattle pricing systems and pricing variability. This module explains why dressing percentage is important and discusses the factors that affect it. Dressing Percentage in Perspective Dressing percentage is calculated by dividing the warm carcass weight by the shrunk live weight of the animal and expressing the result as a percentage. For example, suppose that an animal delivered to the packing plant weighs 1300 pounds. After being killed, the hide, head, feet and gut are removed. The warm carcass then weighs 767 pounds."

"text": "VCE Publications / 400 / 400-012Nutrition and Feeding of the Cow-Calf Herd: Production Cycle Nutrition and Nutrient Requirements of Cows, Pregnant Heifers and Bulls400-012John B. Hall, Extension Animal Scientist; William W. Seay, Extension Agent, Animal Science; and Scott M. Baker, Extension Agent, Animal Science; Virginia Tech Introduction Developing diets and feeding strategies for the cowherd is facilitated by a basic understanding of the production cycle of the cow and her changing nutrient requirements. By knowing and anticipating the changing nutritional needs of the cow, producers can plan their feeding programs and lower feed costs. Cows use the nutrients provided to them for bodily processes in the following order: 1) maintenance - keep alive and moving, 2) lactation - providing milk for the calf, 3) growth - including weight gain, and 4) reproduction. Beef cow production cycle For nutritional and most management purposes, the annual production cycle for the beef cow can be divided into 4 phases: Pre-calving, Postpartum, Lactating and Pregnant, and Gestation. Each one of these phases is physiologically unique and each has its own set of nutritional requirements (Figure 1). Calving is the event on which all of these periods are based, so that's where we will start. Postpartum (after calving) is the 80 to 90 day period that begins at calving. It is the period of greatest nutritional demand (Table 1 & 2 ). Cows must lactate, repair their reproductive tracts, resume heat cycles, breed, increase activity and, if young, grow. All these processes put considerable strain on the cow."

S., the vast majority of cows--meaning female cattle--that wind up being slaughtered for human consumption are culls from the dairy industry, being sent to slaughter when their milk production falls below a certain level. The U. S. beef industry--specifically raising cattle for meat for human consumption--is focused exclusively on producing steers (castrated males). Cattle in feedlots are steers. Since dairy cows are old, and have been selected for generations for their ability to produce extraordinary quantities of milk, and not for their ability to dress out as a nice carcass, \"\"cow\"\" meat is usually graded very low by the USDA, and normally goes to auction and slaughter as \"\"canners\"\", i.e. for Campbells soup, Dinty Moore beef stew, Taco Bell meat, and other applications that don't involve a slab of USDA Prime or Choice beef at the Kroger meat counter."

Burt Rutherford | Mar 19, 2015“The best thing about heterosis ,” says Joe Paschal, Texas Agri Life Extension beef specialist in Corpus Christie, “is that it’s cumulative. So as you start down a crossbreeding program, the fact that you have daughters that are more fertile, produce more milk and have longer longevity, that’s the real benefit. ”But, he stresses, it’s not the only benefit. “ A lot of people ask, ‘why should I crossbreed ?’ ( And the answer usually is) ‘I want heterosis.’ You know what I say? I say it’s because I get to choose the breeds I want,” Pashcal says. “Breeds can be combined to fit multiple market situations and environments,” he says. “ Heterosis is the icing on the cake."

"text": "\"400-803Scott P. Greiner, Extension Animal Scientist, Virginia Tech Worldwide there are more than 250 breeds of beef cattle. Over 60 of these breeds are present in the United States. However, a relatively small number of breeds (less than 20) constitute the majority of the genetics utilized in the U. S. for commercial beef production. The breed, or combination of breeds, used in a defined breeding program have a significant impact on the efficiency and profitability of the beef enterprise. Breed influences the important parameters of growth rate, reproductive efficiency, maternal ability, and end-product specifications. Additionally, nutritional requirements and production costs are related to traits such as mature cow size and growth rate that are largely determined by breed. Therefore, selecting appropriate breeds to be used in a crossbreeding program is an important decision for beef cattle producers. Characterizing Breeds of Beef Cattle British Breeds British breeds are breeds that were developed in the British Isles and were brought to the United States in the late 1700s through the late 1800s. Angus (Black and Red), Hereford (Horned and Polled), and Shorthorn are the primary British breeds. When compared to Continental European breeds, British breeds are generally smaller in mature size, reach mature size at an earlier age, have less growth potential, excel in fertility and calving ease, attain higher quality grades, and yield carcasses with a lower percentage of saleable product."

"text": "\"Jack C. Whittier Department of Animal Sciences James G. Thorne College of Veterinary Medicine Six to 10 percent of all calves born in beef cow herds in the U. S. die at or soon after birth. About half of those deaths are due to calving difficulty (dystocia). This multi-million dollar annual loss is second only to losses from failing to conceive. Calving difficulty has received much more attention in recent years, primarily because of the mating of larger European breeds of bulls to British breeds of cow. Increased calving problems are also being encountered within purebred breeds, as genetically large bulls are often mated to cows of only average size. The purpose of this guide is to acquaint cattle producers with calving management principles that will help minimize calf loss in their herds. Factors causing calving difficulty About 80 percent of all calves lost at birth are anatomically normal. Most of them die because of injuries or suffocation resulting from difficult or delayed parturition (calving). Factors contributing to calving problems fall into three main categories — calf effects, cow effects and fetal position at birth. Calf effects Heavy birth weights account for most of the problems related to the calf."

CHAPA (Cow-calf Health and Productivity Audit) studies indicate that dystocia is responsible for 33 percent of all calf losses and 15.4 percent of beef cattle breeding losses. Dystocia can have a large economic impact on producers due to calf death, veterinary costs, decreased rebreeding efficiency, and injury or death to the cow. In three different studies, dystocia was the highest veterinary cost to cow-calf operations in Colorado, California, and Tennessee. ( Salma et al ., April and May 1991) Dystocia is also the number one cause of calf mortality in the first 96 hours of life. ( Patterson et al .) Pregnancy rates for the dam after losing a calf are lower than for dams that have not lost a calf. ( Patterson et al .) Studies also indicate that animals experiencing dystocia while delivering a live calf may have decreased rebreeding rates."

So you do not need to milk the cows or anything like that, since when they have a calf, the calves are enough to \"\"milk them out\"\" without worrying about having any leftover milk that you will have to milk out. If you are wanting to raise \"\"cows\"\" for meat consumption only, don't waste your time trying to find any cows (mature female bovines that have had a calf) or heifers (female bovines that have not had a calf) to make a breeding herd. You're better off buying a couple of steers (castrated male bovines) to keep the grass down and have butchered later on. Cows and heifers take a lot of management. They need to be bred to calve once a year, and raise a calf for 6 to 10 months, then you have to decide what should be done with that calf once weaned. The cows themselves need to be bred a couple months after they've calved so that they will produce a calf next year."

Microblading, also referred to as semi-permanent makeup, cosmetic tattooing or eyebrow feathering is the process of implanting colour pigment under the surface of the skin by use of tiny, sterile, disposable needles to produce the appearance of hair strokes. Microblading treatments are perfect for the following: Hair loss and lack of definition, Thin brows caused by years of over tweezing, Chemotherapy or Alopecia, Scars, Lengthening short existing brows, Thickening thin brows, Correcting asymmetry, Active lifestyles, Trouble applying conventional makeup. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MICROBLADING AND STANDARD PERMANENT MAKEUP? The purpose of microblading is to enhance the natural features of a client. Microblading is softer and more subtle – it is meant to look much more natural. Microblading uses pigments rather than ink which is used during traditional tattoos. The pigments are designed and meant to gently fade over time. Fading is not considered a bad thing since it allows the artist and client to make changes to colour and shape over the years as natural colouration and facial changes occur. Pigments during microblading are not as tight and densely packed into the skin as a traditional tattoo, or even micropigmentation with an electric permanent makeup device."

It uses a hand held device with micro blades to deposit an appropriate color pigment in the skin dermis thus creating hair strokes that look similar to the natural brow hair. What makes eyebrow microblading different from semi-permanent brow tattooing is the fact that microblading is manual. It makes use of a handheld device as opposed to tattooing which makes use of a machine."

( If not, we’ll wait for you to catch up: A quick Instagram search for #eyebrowtattoos, #3Dbrows, #archaddicts, or #browsonfleek brings up a never-ending stream of close-up #browspo pics.) The world of brow tattoos is a baffling place. It’s easy to get lost in the jargon: eyebrow embroidery, micropigmentation, tattooing, and microblading; methods include hair strokes, feathering, etching, powder-fill, 3D, 4D, even 6D eyebrows. Hundreds of pics later, you still may not be sure what exactly you’re signing up for. Here’s what you need to know before you go under the needle. ( Or microblade? Don’t worry, we’ll get to all that in a second. ) Call them what you want, but they’re all tattoos.

Micropigmentation, also referred as semi permanent make-up or dermal-pigmentation, is a process whereby completely natural inorganic pigments are implanted beneath the epidermis (top layer of skin), into the dermal layer (second layer of skin), by needle micro insertion. This technique has been medically developed and specifically designed for a safe semi permanent application. Permanent cosmetics is a safe and natural-looking alternative to the expense and daily routine of applying makeup upon waking in the morning and often times throughout the day. It is a state-of-the-art technique of applying long lasting makeup via intradermal micropigmentation. Properly applied by an experienced physician, nurse or technician, micropigmentation will be more natural and realistic in appearance as compared to conventional cosmetics. The medical grade pigments used have been specially formulated for this kind of procedure."

It can raise the outer part of the eyebrow if it is sagging, lift the corners of the mouth, and help to smooth out dimpled or cobblestoned chins. Generally it is not used in the lines around the mouth, usually because it might be difficult to speak and eat.

Botox Cosmetic is an injected liquid used to treat frown lines, squint and smile lines, nasal crunch lines, and horizontal forehead wrinkles.

"text": "In the past few years Botox injections have become one of the most popular methods for reversing the signs of aging, as they can be used to reduce the appearance of expression lines, fine lines, wrinkles and to give the face an overall younger looking appearance. Not surprisingly, many TV personalities, actors and models use Botox to keep them looking young for as long as possible, which is partly why this non-surgical procedure has received such widespread acceptance amongst members of the general public who also hope to obtain similar results. In addition to its cosmetic uses, Botox can also be used for non-cosmetic purposes. It can, for example, be injected in the armpits to reduce excessive sweating ( hyperhidrosis ), injected near the eyes to control involuntary twitching of the eyelids ( blepharospasm ), or even injected in the neck to reduce muscle spasms ( cervical dystonia) or neck pain. Botox Injections * What does Botox Cost, What are Botox Effects Watch this video on You Tube Other uses include migraine relief, treating an overactive bladder, straightening crossed eyes ( strabismus ), controlling facial spasms, and treating muscular pains associated with back pain. So as you can see, Botox truly is a remarkable treatment that can help a person to look, live and feel better, all without having major invasive surgery!What is Botox? Botox is an abbreviated name for botulism toxin, and consists of a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacteria. Clostridium botulinum bacteria produce the toxin that is used in Botox. When injected underneath the skin, Botox paralyzes muscles in the treated area by blocking activity of the acetylcholine neurotransmitter. The effect of this is a firming and tightening of the skin, which subsequently reduces the visibility of any lines and wrinkles in that localized area."

The prostate helps in the production of seminal fluid. A prostate exam can help your doctor diagnose an enlarged or inflamed prostate. It can also help them diagnose prostate cancer, which is the second most common form of cancer among American men. The exam typically involves a digital rectal exam (DRE) and a test for prostate- specific antigen (PSA) levels. Your doctor may want to perform a prostate exam if you have symptoms of an enlarged prostate. Some doctors do it as part of a routine checkup. Risk factors Who should get a prostate exam? Starting at age 50, all men should discuss prostate cancer screening with their doctor."

"text": "Prostate cancer prevention and early detection Other than skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer in U. S. men. Early detection and improvements in therapy have resulted in a dramatic decrease in prostate cancer deaths (by 40 to 50 percent) since the early 1990s. Screenings to detect prostate cancer early One of the best ways to detect prostate cancer early is through screening — testing to find the disease in men with no prostate cancer symptoms . Screening can help find some types of cancer at an early stage, when they may have a better prognosis. In fact, screening alone is credited for one third of the recent decrease in prostate cancer deaths. The two most common screening tests for prostate cancer are: Digital rectal exam (DRE)Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test Talk with your doctor about the benefits and risks of these screenings. Decisions should be based on: Your individual prostate cancer risk Your overall health and life expectancy Your desire for treatment if you are diagnosed with the disease Digital rectal exam For a DRE, a doctor inserts a gloved, lubricated finger into your rectum to feel your prostate gland, assess the texture of the back of the gland (where many prostate cancers begin) and check for any bumps (nodules) or hard areas that might be cancer. This exam usually isn’t painful and only takes a few seconds. Since the PSA test was introduced in the late 1980s, doctors have commonly used it along with a DRE to screen for prostate cancer. Because the DRE can sometimes find cancers in men with normal PSA levels, Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) recommends men 55 or older talk to their doctor about whether this exam is right for them."

Using these tests together is better than using either test alone. Who should have a PSA test Men older than 50 years should talk to their doctor about their personal risk of developing prostate cancer and the benefits and risks of having a PSA test. The Canadian Cancer Society recommends that you should also talk to your doctor about PSA testing if you:will soon be 50 years oldhave a family history of prostate cancer or are of African ancestryhave symptoms of prostate cancer Benefits and risks The PSA test can help detect prostate cancer early, but it can also cause false alarms or can miss prostate cancer when it’s really there. It’s important that men talk to their doctor about their personal risk of developing prostate cancer as well as the benefits and risks of PSA testing. Benefits A PSA test can find prostate cancer early, before it grows large or spreads outside of the prostate. Finding cancer early can mean that treatments will be more successful."

( See If Prostate Cancer Screening Test Results Aren’t Normal . ) Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a substance made by cells in the prostate gland (both normal cells and cancer cells).

Urinary incontinence is the loss of bladder control, resulting in the accidental leakage of urine from the body. For example, a man may feel a strong, sudden need, or urgency, to urinate just before losing a large amount of urine, called urgency incontinence. UI can be slightly bothersome or totally debilitating. For some men, the chance of embarrassment keeps them from enjoying many activities, including exercising, and causes emotional distress. When people are inactive, they increase their chances of developing other health problems, such as obesity and diabetes.

At minimum, there are some common health screenings you probably should be getting, according to various medical experts.

By Jerry Shaw | Tuesday, 19 April 2016 02:54 PMEmail Article | Contact | Print | A ATweet The age at which men should start getting a prostate exam varies based on risk factors and differing views from medical professionals, but it tends to be around age 40 to 50, when the risk for developing prostate cancer increases. According to the Mayo Clinic, the option to do PSA testing — a blood test for prostate-specific antigen — begins at age 40. PSA and digital rectal exams are generally done yearly for men ages 50 to 70, or until life expectancy is 10 years or fewer since prostate cancer grows slowly. SPECIAL: The One Thing You Should Do for Your Prostate Every Morning When considering a prostate exam at a certain age, men should factor in possible risks. African-Americans have a higher risk of developing prostate cancer and dying from it, the Mayo Clinic notes. Men with a father or brother who had prostate cancer before age 65 also have an increased risk. Additionally, a high-fat diet may increase the risk of developing prostate cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends prostate exams beginning at age 50 for those at average risk, but age 45 for men at higher risk, including African-Americans and those with an immediate family member who has had prostate cancer before age 65. Men with more than one first-degree relative, such as a father or brother, with prostate cancer should consider screening at age 40."

Men have always seemed reluctant to pay a visit to the doctor, however getting a regular physical exam, or check up, is a sure way to prevent health problems before they develop into serious health issues. Physicians integrate the information you provide from your symptoms, past health problems, physical examination and testing to detect disease or a risk of disease. If you feel well and have a normal exam, it's likely you are healthy. Unfortunately, many conditions can escape detection even with the best medical care. Which exams and screenings you need depends on your age, health and family history, and lifestyle choices such as what you eat, how active you are, and whether you smoke."

"text": "\"Talk to your doctor about the potential benefits and harms of getting a PSA test. Getty Images PSA tests measure a protein in your blood called prostate specific antigen. Prostate cancer makes PSA levels go higher, but a high PSA test result doesn't always mean a man has prostate cancer. Sometimes PSA readings are elevated because of something benign, such as ejaculating within 24 hours of the test, or because of a problem that needs treatment, such as a urinary tract infection, but that isn’t cancer. Because the test can’t distinguish between serious causes of elevated PSA and other causes, the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has historically recommended against prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing in healthy men — that is, men who have no family history, known risk factors, or symptoms of prostate cancer. But in 2017 the USPSTF released new draft guidelines that encourage doctors to discuss the potential benefits and harms of using the PSA test to screen for cancer in men ages 55 to 69. The final recommendation statement is now being developed. In the meantime, here are seven reasons, besides prostate cancer, your PSA level could be above normal.1. Aging Affects PSA Levels Even without any prostate problems, your PSA level can go up gradually as you age. \"\" At age 40, a PSA of 2.5 is the normal limit,\"\" says John Milner, MD , a urologist in the Chicago area. \"\""

They added that PSA velocity is a poor predictor of prostate cancer and often leads to unneeded biopsies and the anxiety and discomfort for the patient that goes with them. Lead author, Andrew Vickers, Ph D, said, \"\"We have found no evidence to support the recommendation that men with a high PSA velocity should be biopsied in the absence of other indications. In other words, if a man's PSA has risen rapidly in recent years, there is no cause for concern if his total PSA level is still low and his clinical exam is normal.\"\" Prostate cancer only affects males. The cancer starts growing in the prostate - a gland that forms part of the male reproductive system. The epithelial cells in the prostate gland produce PSA, a protein that helps keep semen in its liquid state. Some of the PSA eventually gets into the bloodstream. A man's PSA level can be measured with a blood test. A high PSA reading could be an indication of some kind of prostate condition, including cancer."

In some animals (e.g. ; toy breeds of dogs) changes in the heart are common, whereas in other animals (cats), the kidneys may be one of the first organs to show signs of aging. We can help older animals to adapt to these changes in a variety of ways: diagnosing problems early, use of appropriate medications and supplements, modifying the dog's environment, and changing the way in which we interact with our older friends. Change in nutritional needs and weight changes As dogs age, their metabolism changes and their need for calories decreases. In general, their maintenance energy requirement decreases by about 20%. Because their activity usually decreases as well, their energy needs are decreased by another 10-20%. If we feed older dogs the same amount we fed them when they were young, they will gain weight. As the body's metabolism changes, it is more common for the body to lay down fat. This tendency can also contribute to obesity in older dogs."

For example, it can provide valuable information about the location and extent of the cancer, thus helping your physician decide whether to recommend active surveillance, hormone treatment, radiation therapy, or surgery. With that in mind, you might think that preparing and reading a pathology report would be straightforward — but unfortunately the opposite is true. Pathology reports are not prepared uniformly (compare Figures 3 and 4, below, for example). In fact, they can vary considerably even within a single institution. They may not be labeled thoroughly or contain enough specifics for you and your doctor to make a good treatment decision. At the same time, the information that is included in the report may be difficult to decipher. You may also get conflicting interpretations depending on how the report was prepared and who is reading it. It is entirely possible for two pathologists to look at the same biopsy slides and yet disagree about whether you have cancer!

Most people qualify for Medicare if they are 65 or older. However, how you sign up may vary, depending on your situation and, in some cases, how you qualify for Medicare. For example, some beneficiaries are automatically enrolled in Medicare, while others need to manually sign up for it. Read on to learn more about how Medicare enrollment works and what you need to do to get coverage. When to sign up for Medicare In most cases, you’re automatically enrolled in Original Medicare, Part A and Part B, if you’re already receiving retirement benefits from the Social Security Administration or the Railroad Retirement Board before you turn 65. In this situation, your Medicare coverage will automatically start on the first day of the month that you turn 65. If your birthday falls on the first day of the month, you’ll be automatically enrolled in Medicare on the first day of the month before you turn 65. You’ll generally also be automatically enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B if you’re receiving disability benefits from Social Security or the Railroad Retirement Board for at least two years; if you qualify for Medicare because of disability, you’ll be automatically enrolled in Medicare in the 25th month of disability benefits. If you get Medicare because you have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease), you’ll be automatically enrolled in Medicare in the first month that your disability benefits starts; you don’t need to wait two years in this case."

"text": "Retirement Doctors Are Opting Out of Medicare By JULIE CONNELLY APRIL 1, 2009EARLY this year, Barbara Plumb, a freelance editor and writer in New York who is on Medicare, received a disturbing letter. Her gynecologist informed her that she was opting out of Medicare. When Ms. Plumb asked her primary-care doctor to recommend another gynecologist who took Medicare, the doctor responded that she didn’t know any — and that if Ms. Plumb found one she liked, could she call and tell her the name? Many people, just as they become eligible for Medicare, discover that the insurance rug has been pulled out from under them. Some doctors — often internists but also gastroenterologists, gynecologists, psychiatrists and other specialists — are no longer accepting Medicare, either because they have opted out of the insurance system or they are not accepting new patients with Medicare coverage. The doctors’ reasons: reimbursement rates are too low and paperwork too much of a hassle. When shopping for a doctor, ask if he or she is enrolled with Medicare. If the answer is no, that doctor has opted out of the system. Those who are enrolled fall into two categories, participating and nonparticipating. The latter receive a lower reimbursement from Medicare, and the patient has to pick up more of the bill."

Bizarrely, the rules are different for people who have Medicare because they’re 65 or older and those who have it at earlier ages on the basis of disability. So look separately at these two groups to know when people in each can confidently turn down Part B. Know when to turn down Part B if you’re 65 or older In general, when you’re 65 or older, you should decline Part B only if you have group health insurance from an employer for whom you or your spouse is still actively working and that insurance is primary to Medicare (it pays before Medicare does). In this situation, you can delay Part B enrollment without penalty until the employment stops or the insurance ends."

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?

Along with neutering and spaying, this is the perfect time to get them away from marking/scent spreading habits. Avoid encouraging the dog to go as needed during walks. Walks are for exercise and to practice moving in sync with the master. If you take a dog who hasn't satisfied all those needs on a long walk it leads to mixed signals. They're tugging at the leash without you fully understanding why and it ticks you off, they're getting yelled at and told 'no' and they don't know why, and when you realize they just had to pee you feel guitly and end up allowing them to pull because you always assume they might have to pee. First thing in the morning, last thing at night, about 30-45 minutes after each meal, and periodically at other times throughout the day, get the dog outside. Get them to a spot."

But few moms and dads are prepared for how long toilet training can take. Sure, some kids master it within a few days (see how to potty train your child in three days ), but others take several months or longer. You and your c hild have a better chance of success if you understand the important elements of training before you start. Here are the basic steps: A. Assess your child's readiness – and your own When children are about a year old, they can begin to recognize that they have a full rectum or bladder. Some are ready to start potty training as early as 18 months, while others aren't interested until after age 3. Many parents begin potty training when their children are about 2 1/2. Because there's such a wide age range for when kids develop an interest in potty training, watch for signs that your child is ready to start: Can she follow simple instructions?

"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."

Similarly, some children get the knack in just a few short days, while it can take others a year or more. What accounts for the wide age range in mastering this skill? Timing.

"text": "\"School Readiness5 Tips to Start the Preschool Process By Louisa Fitzgerald Updated March 10, 2018Share Pin Email Print Ariel Skelley / Getty Images Preschool (or prekindergarten) is a broad term used to describe curriculum-based early childhood education. Research shows that quality preschool education produces gains in a child’s learning and development, particularly for economically disadvantaged children. But in the U. S., the amount and type of preschool children attend varies widely — some kids attend one year of partial-day preschool before entering kindergarten; others are in full-day, school-like settings beginning at age 2; some children don’t attend preschool at all. On top of the choice of whether or not to attend preschool, at what age and for how long, parents also have different educational philosophies to consider — like Montessori, play-based programs, and Waldorf. For parents, the process of determining what is best for your toddler when it comes to early childhood education can be daunting. To get you started, Laura Gradman, a licensed professional counselor, education consultant, and owner of the Chicago Preschool Pro, has provided tips to help you navigate these choices. Family Considerations While all parents want the best for their little ones, it’s OK to make a choice about preschool based on the needs of the entire family, not just the child’s. According to Gradman, who helps families through the complicated process of preschool admissions in Chicago, “People ask me all the time, ‘What’s the best age to start preschool?’ Honestly, my response is, ‘It depends on what works for your family. ’”That can mean if you’re getting ready to welcome a new baby into the family, a toddler who has stayed home with mom or dad full time might benefit from a partial-day preschool program."

All my research including the American Academy of pediatrics say that children's elimination muscles reach full maturity somewhere between 12-24 months, and the average age of maturity is 18 months. So how is a parent to know if a child's elimination muscles are mature? Your child's behavior and actions will guide you in knowing how your child is developing in this area. Around his/her first birthday, your child will begin to recognize the sensation of a full rectum or bladder, signaling the need to eliminate."

When this started, the doctor advised us to give him Miralax to make his stool softer so it comes out more easily. Even with the Miralax, he still managed to hold it for two days at a time sometimes, but at least it was coming out at all, so we continued with it. Anyway, we've been giving him the Miralax for months now, and now he's (supposed to be) going to preschool in September, which of course requires that he be potty trained. We don't want to hold him back since he's developmentally ready otherwise, so we started potty training a few weeks ago. He picked up the potty training really quickly – for peeing – but he still holds his poop in no matter what. If he's sitting on the potty, as soon as he's about to do it, he stands up and just keeps holding it in (and once he starts to stand, if we even so much as ask him to sit back down, he screams and cries). We have tried everything to convince him (or distract him enough) to sit and poop: reading books, singing songs, playing games, playing with toys, offering him snacks/treats (graham crackers), giving him stickers, etc. Nothing works."

"text": "\"Toilet training Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Definition Toilet training is the process of teaching a young child to control the bowel and bladder and use the bathroom for elimination. A child is considered to be toilet trained when he or she initiates going to the bathroom and can adjust clothing necessary to urinate or have a bowel movement. Toilet training is sometimes called toilet learning or potty training. Description The average age at which children complete toilet training in the United States is approximately three years old. In some cases children learn bladder control first; others learn bowel control before bladder control. Control is generally first achieved during the daytime, well before a child is able to stay dry at night. Some children achieve some control over bladder and/or bowel movements as early as nine months of age and are able to cooperate in controlling themselves to some degree by the age of 12 to 15 months. Most experts agree, however, that toilet training should only be initiated when a child exhibits certain signs of readiness that usually appear between the ages of two and three years of age. Unlike infants, toddlers know when they are urinating or defecating and may assume certain postures or become quiet when they are about to move their bowels. They have also learned the vocabulary their family uses for elimination."

Generally, you can exect a baby to at least try walking between 9 and 12 months (some earlier some later), and they usually start babbling long before that. The general rule of thumb is that each child has his/her own developmental path. Don't start comparing your baby to other babies or whatever the so-called \"\"average\"\" is.

"text": "\"Chihuahua Potty-Training and Housebreaking Potty-training is an essential process that every owner must go through with their Chihuahua. Unless you plan on keeping your furry four-legged friend in a fenced-in backyard (not recommended), you'll have to teach them to use the bathroom outside the house and not inside. Unfortunately, however, Chihuahuas have a notorious reputation for being a breed that's difficult and downright stubborn to housebreak. In fact, some owners throw in the flag and simply lay out pee pads for them instead. The truth is that practically any Chihuahua, no matter how old they are, can be potty-trained when it's done correctly and under the right circumstances. Although Chihuahuas can be successfully potty-trained at any age, it's recommended that you start as soon you bring them into your home, preferably when they are still a puppy. During the first 6-12 months of a Chihuahua's life, their brains are developing at a rapid pace; therefore, they will naturally catch on to routines and consistency. You can use this to your advantage by instilling the basic potty-training commands in your Chihuahua's head. When they learn these principles at an early age, it will stay with them well into their adult years, making the potty-training process easier for the both of you.

"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."

"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."

Over the summer, I let her out to potty, and she happened upon a cat in the shed. Of course, she chased it all over and ran it out of her territory, like every other instance a cat was in the yard. But, this time the cat who was guarding kittens, fought back, and they ended up in quite the tangle before I got them to stop it. Since then, every time I let her out, she goes straight to the shed instead of doing her business. ( No new household members, no medical problems, no moves or anything to stress her.)"

"text": "\"Pregnancy & Parenting Toddler & Preschooler What is the average age of boys to be potty trained by? Follow 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: What is the \"\"right\"\" age? Depending on whom you ask, the \"\"right\"\" age may range from as young as 6 months to 3 years. The most important factors are not necessarily age, but rather physiologic, physical and psychological readiness. Before a child can be \"\"toilet trained\"\", he must have attained a certain amount of \"\"bladder readiness\"\". When you notice that he is dry at longer intervals (i.e. dry after a nap or for at least 2 hours) then that is a sign that your child may be physiologically ready for toilet training. Some children start showing some signs of \"\"bladder readiness\"\" around 2 years of age. Most will attain it by three years of age. Another component of readiness is physical readiness. This includes the ability to walk well (to and from the bathroom), to be able to pull pants up and down, and the ability to get on and off the toilet/potty chair fairly independently."

Some children develop the necessary physical and cognitive skills as early as 18 to 24 months, and others aren't ready until they're 3 or 4. ( Boys are often ready slightly later than girls .) Similarly, some children get the knack in just a few short days, while it can take others a year or more. What accounts for the wide age range in mastering this skill? Timing. Doctors have a saying about toilet training: If you start at 2, you'll be done by 3. If you start at 3, you'll be done by 3. For most kids, potty training takes three to six months (though it may not take this long if you get the timing right). \"\" If you catch them when they're ready, it may only take a month,\"\" says Denise Aloisio, a developmental-behavioral pediatrician in Neptune, N. J. \"\"But if you miss the signals or don't wait for their cues, it can take six months or more. \"\""

How do I know when my child is ready to start toilet training? Look for most of these characteristics in your child to help you decide if the time is right for toilet training: Desire to please (likes to give gifts, enjoys praise)Desire for independence (takes pride in new abilities, wants to “do it myself”)Imitates adults and older children Language skills: able to communicate needs and understands words about the toileting process Motor skills: able to walk to the potty, get on, and pull down pants Bowel movements occur on a fairly predictable schedule Has longer periods with a dry diaper, which means your child's bladder is able to store urine. ( For example, child wakes up from a nap dry or stays dry for two or more hours. ) Is able to follow simple, one-step verbal instructions Shows an interest in imitating other family members or friends in the bathroom Through words, facial expressions, or a change in activity, your child shows you he or she knows when his or her bladder is full or when he or she is about to have a bowel movement Don't feel pressured to begin earlier. If you start too early, it will just take your child longer to train. It can be easier to start in the summer, since your child will have on less clothing and it will be easier to get undressed. Also, consider avoiding high-stress times for the start of your toilet training journey, like around the time of a move or the birth of a new baby. Toilet training tips Proceed slowly and take signals from your child. Give your child a feeling of active participation, control and independence."

You and your c hild have a better chance of success if you understand the important elements of training before you start. Here are the basic steps: A. Assess your child's readiness – and your own When children are about a year old, they can begin to recognize that they have a full rectum or bladder. Some are ready to start potty training as early as 18 months, while others aren't interested until after age 3. Many parents begin potty training when their children are about 2 1/2.

Should my son pee standing up from the start? How do I teach my son to pee standing up? By Betsy Bozdech Reviewed by the Baby Center Medical Advisory Board Last updated: July 2016Does it really take longer to potty train boys than girls? Yes, although no one, including expert T. Berry Brazelton, seems to know why. In her book Toilet Learning, Alison Mack says the difference may be partially due to the fact that moms are usually the primary potty-trainers in a family. Boys without a male role model to imitate in the bathroom may take a little longer to get the idea, while girls have the advantage of observing someone with the same equipment. Even if Dad is equally involved, boys sometimes need more time than girls, possibly because it's a two-step process for them. First they learn to pee and poop sitting down, then they have to master part of the act while standing up. If your son takes longer to train than the girls in his preschool class, don't sweat it."

Even the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends encouraging & teaching toddler boys to urinate sitting down. The major reason for this recommendation is to keep things simple by teaching them to sit for both urination and bowel movements. Other reasons include the logistics involved in managing the equipment for both types of training and the effort required to clean up while they learn to aim properly. Once he completely potty trained, then training him to pee standing up like his father and brothers! ! My personal recommendation is to first teach your son to potty training sitting down. Once he completely potty trained for both and is accident free, then I would recommend training him to pee standing up like his father and brothers! ! Keep it Simple and Bowel Movement Training: Most parents would agree that potty training your toddler son includes not only teaching him to urinate in a potty or toilet, but also to make bowel movements in the potty or toilet."

For the first six months of life, your baby needs only breast milk or infant formula to eat.

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."

But with picky eaters, hectic schedules and constantly changing dietary needs and tastes, that can be a difficult task. Many of us are familiar with the food pyramid and the major food groups, but that big chart is cumbersome and at times confusing. That’s why the USDA took the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and created My Plate, a new colorful, simple icon that parents can use to develop healthy eating habits for their children and the entire family. “If you take the pyramid and shake it out onto a plate, that’s My Plate,” says Dr. Robert Post, Deputy Director of the USDA Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion. “ It’s the same food but shown in a different way.” The need for Americans, especially children, to eat healthy meals is more important than ever. As Post explains, as of 2007 and 2008, obesity affects 10 percent of children ages 2 to 5, 20 percent of children 6 to 11 and 18 percent of children ages 12 to 19.

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 healthcare provider 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."

Educating them on healthy eating during childhood will also help them make healthier choices as they become adults.

Until then, formula and breast milk is exactly what your child needs to grow and develop. Rice cereal is usually the first “solid” food doctors recommend for your baby, but this will not occur until your child is between the ages of four and six months. For the first few months of their life, your child’s nutrient needs are best met by their mother’s breast milk or their formula, so there’s no need for baby food at 3 months. Babies do not benefit from solid foods until they are older. First, they are not developmentally ready to deal with swallowing solids."

We have general notions about obesity and overweight being unhealthy, but what exactly are the concerns? Being obese increases a child's risk for some serious childhood medical problems. These include pre-diabetes, diabetes, heart disease, hyperlipidemia (too much fat in the blood, which can clog the arteries), sleep apnea, bone conditions, gastro-intestinal diseases, and psychological problems [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] . These obesity-associated health problems tend to continue into adulthood [2] . In addition to the risks to kids in childhood, research over the last 40 years tells us that overweight kids are at greater risk of becoming obese adults [15] [16] [17] , with all the health problems associated with obesity lasting through the lifespan.

While weight can be a sensitive issue for many adults, we have found that most - but not all - children are less concerned about their weight than their parents. Nevertheless, parents can be uneasy about raising the issue of overweight, fearing that to do so will hurt their child's feelings, damage self-esteem or make food and eating a 'big issue'. Like all sensitive issues there are more and less helpful ways of talking to your child about their weight. This guide to the Do's and Don'ts of talking to children about weight is based on our experience of talking to hundreds of children and families about weight problems. Should I talk to my child about weight? Before talking to your child, it is a good idea to make sure whether they are actually overweight. It can be difficult to know if you should be concerned about your child's weight. Health professionals use several measures to check if a child is overweight including Body Mass Index (BMI), waist circumference and body fat. You can calculate your child's BMI using the specialist calculator on the Weight Concern website, or ask a GP or School Nurse to help you with this."

Primary or \"\"baby\"\" teeth form below the gum line around the sixth week of pregnancy, and they're covered by hard enamel during the third to fourth month. Permanent or \"\"adult\"\" teeth also begin developing at this time. During pregnancy, you can get your child's teeth off to a healthy start by following your doctor's advice and eating a well-balanced diet, including calcium-rich foods such as yogurt and dark leafy greens.

Salmonella bacteria may be found in the gut of many animals, including farm animals and pets. Poultry (chickens, turkeys, etc) are especially likely to carry salmonella. So, salmonella can contaminate meat (including poultry), eggs, milk and other dairy products that we may eat. Infection usually causes relatively mild symptoms but complications, including lack of fluid in the body (dehydration), can occur in some cases. The usual treatment is to drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration. Antibiotic medicines are occasionally needed in some people who are at extra risk of having complications.

By ELIZABETH WEIL JUNE 3, 2007Correction Appended Photo illustration by Chris Buck According to the apple-or-coin test, used in the Middle Ages, children should start school when they are mature enough for the delayed gratification and abstract reasoning involved in choosing money over fruit. In 15th- and 16th-century Germany, parents were told to send their children to school when the children started to act “rational.” And in contemporary America, children are deemed eligible to enter kindergarten according to an arbitrary date on the calendar known as the birthday cutoff — that is, when the state, or in some instances the school district, determines they are old enough. The birthday cutoffs span six months, from Indiana, where a child must turn 5 by July 1 of the year he enters kindergarten, to Connecticut, where he must turn 5 by Jan. 1 of his kindergarten year. Children can start school a year late, but in general they cannot start a year early. As a result, when the 22 kindergartners entered Jane Andersen’s class at the Glen Arden Elementary School near Asheville, N. C., one warm April morning, each brought with her or him a snack and a unique set of gifts and challenges, which included for some what’s referred to in education circles as “the gift of time. ”After the morning announcements and the Pledge of Allegiance, Andersen’s kindergartners sat down on a blue rug. Two, one boy and one girl, had been redshirted — the term, borrowed from sports, describes students held out for a year by their parents so that they will be older, or larger, or more mature, and thus better prepared to handle the increased pressures of kindergarten today. Six of Andersen’s pupils, on the other hand, were quite young, so young that they would not be enrolled in kindergarten at all if North Carolina succeeds in pushing back its birthday cutoff from Oct. 16 to Aug. 31."

A child should not be left home alone in Kentucky until they are 11 years of age. There is no law per se, but I work in the child welfare arena and if your child is younger than this and being left alone child protective services will take a report and investigate a child left alone younger than 11. There still may be a report if a child is older than 11 and they are left for long periods of time. It's also not a good idea to let children younger than 13 babysit for younger children. I work for Child Protective Services in Louisville KY, and we investigate cases of children under the age of eight when they are left alone. Children above that age can be left alone for a couple of hours and we look at the maturity level of the children up to 12 years of age. There is no law in KY that addresses this issue.15 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

While oral language seems crucial to written language development there has been relatively little research on explicit links between the two. Aims. This paper reviews and explores the links between oral language skills and the development of writing with particular reference to children with specific language impairment (SLI). Arguments. Children with SLI are poor at writing and we review evidence from our own and others work showing how oral language and oral vocabulary skills, in particular, are closely associated with written language production in this population. We detail a set of longitudinal analyses showing close relationships between oral language, writing, and other literacy related skills. Conclusions. We conclude that oral language skill does constrain the development of writing. Children with SLI are very poor at writing."

He was already an established (adult) novelist when he released The Boy In Striped Pyjamas in 2006 and it quickly earned a reputation as 'a children's classic'. The lines are blurred though, because it's a book adults should read too. For Boyne, the crossover is not such a big deal. He said: \"\"I didn't find the bridge difficult.

"text": "\"When do children start writing? How soon can children start writing? Traditionally, educators and teachers once assumed that children could only learn to write once they had foundations in listening, speaking and reading, pretty much in this order. Was this correct? Well not really. In terms of proficiency there are some good grounds for supporting the traditional order, but it is rather simplistic to assume that it is such a lock-step process. As well, this strict developmental orthodoxy has a tendency to delay attention being given to writing. It is true that children's aural vocabulary is typically in advance of their spoken vocabulary well into early childhood. As well, children seem to develop an ability to read words before they can write them, and to read books before they can write extended and orthodox language. But in amongst these generally accepted general tendencies there is some fuzziness and variation."

One of the most important experiences adults can provide for children is to talk and listen to them. Through these daily interactions, children and adults can develop relationships that help children learn about themselves and the world. Adults who care for children have a responsibility to create and maintain positive and healthy relationships with them. One of the most practical and mutually rewarding ways to achieve this goal is through positive communication. Research suggests that the best parent-child relationships are characterized by positive communication and interaction. Parents and children with a healthy relationship communicate on a regular basis about many different things, not just when there is a conflict. Researchers believe that when adults stay in touch with children through attention and conversation, children might be less likely to act out or behave in ways that create conflict or require discipline.

The Scholastic website points out there is no need to worry if a child doesn't show interest in writing by age 3 1/2, as it will come in time. Not all children write as early as others do. Early Years Between the ages of 2 and 3 is when toddlers start to become aware of letters. This is also the time when they try to draw and write.

Department of Education, here are the language milestones your child should reach at each age: CHILDREN AGES 0-3: Imitate some of the sounds and rhythms adults use when they speak Begin to associate frequent words with their meanings Recognize some books by their covers Pretend to read books and handle them correctly Produce some scribbles that resemble writing CHILDREN AGES 3-4: Attempt to read and write Recognize common signs and labels Enjoy listening to stories Be able to write some letters CHILDREN AGE 5: Retell simple stories Use descriptive language Connect letters to sounds Begin to write common words and phrases CHILDREN AGE 6: Read and tell stories Develop some reading strategies Read and write on their own Read a few things aloud Decode unfamiliar words Increase sight word knowledge Use some punctuation Of course these are all guidelines. Some children learn very early and others learn later. Children that learn to read very young don’t necessarily go on to be stronger readers then their peers, and children that learn later don’t necessarily go on to be weak readers. However, if your child is older and still isn’t reading you should probably dig deeper. Delayed reading can be a sign of dyslexia and other learning disabilities that make language tasks more difficult. If you count on your child picking reading up eventually, she could easily get behind in other school subjects that increasingly depend on reading.

"text": "\"Learning to Read and Write: What Research Reveals By: National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)Children take their first critical steps toward learning to read and write very early in life. Long before they can exhibit reading and writing production skills, they begin to acquire some basic understandings of the concepts about literacy and its functions. Children learn to use symbols, combining their oral language, pictures, print, and play into a coherent mixed medium and creating and communicating meanings in a variety of ways. From their initial experiences and interactions with adults, children begin to read words, processing letter-sound relations and acquiring substantial knowledge of the alphabetic system. As they continue to learn, children increasingly consolidate this information into patterns that allow for automaticity and fluency in reading and writing. Consequently reading and writing acquisition is conceptualized better as a developmental continuum than as an all-or-nothing phenomenon. But the ability to read and write does not develop naturally, without careful planning and instruction. Children need regular and active interactions with print. Specific abilities required for reading and writing come from immediate experiences with oral and written language. Experiences in these early years begin to define the assumptions and expectations about becoming literate and give children the motivation to work toward learning to read and write."

Because this is something that is getting discussed more and more in the YA world, I figured I’d post NOW what I said THEN and see what y’all have to say on the matter. So. Here it is, fairly verbatim from my talk at ALA. I have really complicated feelings about this topic. Because when you say something has cross over appeal, it means that you’re saying some things DON’T have cross over appeal, and that means that you’re saying that some books are definitely adult and definitely young adult, and that means that really, you need to decide what you think those definitions mean. Like I said, complicated. It’s not like you’re deciding if a book is for a child or for an adult, after all. We are not debating whether or not an adult and child would derive equal pleasure from DON’T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS (although I think I know a few adults who might give Thing 2 a run for his money in his Mo Willems fixation). You’re deciding if a book is more interesting to an adult or a young adult, and when you do that, you run the risk, first, of stereotyping, and second, of underestimating teens."

In this way, writing systems are distinguished from many other symbolic communication systems. [ 2] Once established, writing systems on the whole change more slowly than their spoken counterparts, and often preserve features and expressions which are no longer current in the spoken language. The great benefit of writing systems is their ability to maintain a persistent record of information expressed in a language, which can be retrieved independently of the initial act of formulation. [ 2]Acquiring reading [ edit]A child's ability to learn to read, known as reading readiness, begins in infancy, as the child begins attending to the speech signals in their environment and begins producing spoken language. [ 3] Children make some use of all the material that they are presented with, including every perception, concept and word that they come in contact with; thus the environment in which a child develops affects the child's ability to learn to read. [ 3] The amount of time that a child spends together with parents or other important caregivers while listening to them read is a good predictor of the level of reading that the child will attain later in life.

Although the term has fallen out of favor among child psychologists and other experts, dyslexia is popularly used to mean a disability in processing language.

S. public schools, three in 20 receive special education for reading problems; 3 to 5 percent of those kids most likely have dyslexia. Boys are diagnosed with dyslexia more often than girls, though some research indicates that this may be at least partially due to bias on the part of some medical professionals.

Your kitten most likely isn't complaining and probably enjoys the snuggle, too. Enjoy his soft, fuzzy coat while you can, because soon he'll shed his baby coat for the coarser hair of adulthood. Making the Change With maturity comes many changes, and for your kitten one of those changes is his coat. Kittens are born with a soft, cottony-like coat to keep them warm and melt human hearts. Starting at around 5 months of age, your kitten may start shedding this soft fur for the thicker, tougher coat he'll carry as an adult. It usually takes about a month or so to make the change, during which time you'll find his baby fur coating your couch, bed and clothes. Permanent Pattern As you mourn the loss of your kitten's soft coat, rest assured that his pattern will remain more or less intact. The kitten's hair follicle decides the color of the hair that grows from it, so that patch that looks like an eyebrow above his right eye will still be there when his adult coat grows in."

Sometimes the kitten’s fur is already a similar color to what is expected as an adult, other times it is not. Most kittens will develop a coarser, longer, and sometimes darker coat by the time they reach six to eight months of age.

Update: we have now had him for more than a year, and his coat has stayed about the same since that first color change a few weeks after we got him. We've fed him everything from the cheap $20 for 50 lbs food, to the fancy $70 for 24 lbs food (but we buy it when it is on a clearance super-sale), and his coat stays the same. I think in those first 2 weeks we had him, we were feeding him the same food that the shelter had been feeding him. So, strangely, his drastic coat color change doesn't seem to have been related to the seasons, and it seems unlikely it was related to diet or age since it was so fast.dogs healthshare improve this questionedited Aug 10 '17 at 20:05Zaralynda15.4k 8 46 113asked Aug 11 '15 at 3:56rob216 1 3 101How old is he?"

Worming at least every 3 months will help keep the pets healthy and reduce the number of worm eggs shed into the environment. Hunting cats are especially susceptible to tapeworm infections because of the animals they catch, such as mice which act as intermediate hosts for several tapeworm species. Monthly worming can be recommended for hunting cats."

Coccidiosis is an intestinal tract infection caused by a one-celled organism or protozoa called coccidia. In cats and dogs, most coccidia are of the genus called Isospora. Isospora felis and Isospora rivolta are the most common species of coccidia found in cats. Coccidia are not parasitic intestinal worms. They are microscopic parasites that live within cells of the intestinal lining. Because they live in the intestinal tract and commonly cause diarrhea, they are often confused with worms. How did my cat become infected with coccidia? \"\" A cat may become infected by eating the infected mouse. \"\" Oocysts or immature coccidia are passed in the stool of an infected cat."

"text": "By Carol Mc Carthy If you have a cat, the odds are she will get intestinal worms at some point in her life. In fact, the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine reports that 45 percent of cats have an intestinal parasite at any given time. “ It’s more unusual to have a cat not exposed to them,” says Dr. Cathy Lund of City Kitty, a feline-specific veterinary practice in Providence, RI. “ They’re everywhere. ”Fortunately, your veterinarian can treat worms in cats effectively and safely, with no need for panic on your part, said Dr. Bruce Kornreich, associate director of the Feline Health Center at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine in Ithaca, NY. So put those nightmare visions of worms feeding on your kitty out of your head and read on to learn how to protect your pet. How Do Cats Get Worms? Infestation depends on the type of worm, but most often, cats get worms by coming into contact with eggs or infected particles in feces. “ They step in the feces and then ingest them when grooming themselves,” Lund said. In some cases, outdoor cats will hunt rodents that have worm larvae living in their tissues."

"text": "Answer by Susie Dresh Confidence votes 23.7KCats with worms may have a multitude of symptoms or none at all. Common signs may include vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss or an unthrifty coat. Worms may be observed in the vomitus or in the feces. Intestinal parasites of cats can infect humans and small children are at particular risk. Young kittens should have fecal (stool) exams performed by your veterinarian starting no latter than 4 weeks of age and at every visit for vaccines. Older cats should have routine fecal checks every 6 months or every 3 months if they go outside. It's always a great idea to have a prepared list of questions to ask at every veterinary visit. If a cat has tapeworms, the signs will not usually show until it starts to expel little white, or off-white, bits that will be seen near the cat's anus. The bits are about the size of a sesame seed and look similar as they dry up. Tapeworms are picked up by cats from infected fleas which they may have gotten from wild kills off of birds, mice and other animals."

It is caused by a virus and is spread most often when animals come in contact with the bodily secretions of other animals who are infected with the disease. Pet owners can also unknowingly bring the infection home on clothes, shoes or car tires. Even indoor pets are not free from the threat of distemper as it is also an airborne virus and can infect pets through open windows and doors. Over 50% of dogs and 80% of puppies who become infected with distemper will die. Of those who survive, many will have permanent damage to their nervous systems and will suffer from seizures or paralysis for the rest of their lives. The symptoms most commonly associated with Distemper are red, runny eyes and a nasal discharge. Dogs seem to just have a cold at first but the disease worsens rapidly. Vomiting, diarrhea and fever soon develop, followed by various disorders of the nervous system."

"text": "Coccidia and Giardia – The “Non-Worm” Parasitesby Frontier Veterinary Hospital | Jul 30, 2012 | Blog | 0 comments If they aren’t worms, what are Coccidia and Giardia? Giardia and Coccidia are intestinal parasites. However, unlike what we commonly consider a “worm” – like roundworms, hookworms, whipworms and tapeworms – giardia and coccidia organisms are small, microscopic organisms that do not develop into visible worms. Giardia organisms are protozoan parasites that, when mature, have two little tails, called ‘flagellas’, that are the mode of movement. These more mature trophozoites harbor in the intestines and cause gastrointestinal (GI) illness. There are many species of giardia, and some are species-specific, meaning they will only cause illness in that particular species, but many can cross species lines to cause illness in say, both a dog and a human. Coccidia organisms are single-celled parasites that infect and reproduce inside intestinal cells. As these organisms reproduce, they kill the intestinal cells as they divide. Like giardia, there are several types of coccidia, and for dogs and cats a subset called isospora is the infective species. What are the symptoms?"

The contemporary breed of Sphynx (known also as the Canadian Sphynx, distinct from the Russian Sphynx breeds – Peterbald, Don Sphynx) started in 1966, in Roncesvalles, Toronto when a hairless kitten named Prune was born. The kitten was mated with its mother (backcrossing), which produced one more naked kitten. Together with a few naked kittens found later it founded the first attempt to create a hairless breed. The first sphynx breeders faced a number of problems: The genetic pool was very limited; breeders had rather vague ideas about sphynx genetics, and many kittens died. There was also a problem with many of the females suffering convulsions. The last 2 descendents of Prune, a brother-sister pair, were sent to Holland in the 1970s, but the male was uninterested in mating and the female conceived only once, but lost the litter. In 1978 and 1980, two further hairless female kittens were found in Toronto and were sent to Holland to be bred with Prune’s last surviving male descendent."

A: In general, we classify a kitten as Pet quality either because the cat would probably not do well in the show ring or because it does not have traits that we are specifically emphasizing in our breeding program. There could be a number of reasons for this, none of which would detract from the beauty of the cat."

Two veterinary associations, the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) and the Academy of Feline Medicine (AFM) Advisory Panel on Feline Vaccines, have developed recommendations for the selection and administration of vaccines for cats. Feline vaccinations fall into two basic categories, the \"\"core\"\" vaccines, or those that are recommended for most cats, and the ancillary vaccines, or those that are only recommended for a small percentage of cats. Although most feline veterinarians are familiar with both groups of vaccines and how and when they should be administered, it is also important for cat owners to educate themselves on what is available and the benefits and risks of vaccinating their pets. The following provides a synopsis of the current vaccines available and when and to which cats they should be administered. Feline panleukopenia: Feline panleukopenia (also known as feline distemper) is caused by the feline parvovirus. This virus can remain contagious in cages, litter boxes, and bowls for months to years. Cats are infected with this virus after ingesting the virus orally, usually from where another cat has defecated. Remember, viruses are microscopic and because they can be in the environment long after the cat that shed them is gone, the only way to protect against them is to vaccinate. Recently, studies have shown that canine parvovirus can also be contagious to cats, but can be protected against with the current feline vaccines."

Since a police officer shot and killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, one month ago, reporters and researchers have scrambled to find detailed data on how often cops wound or kill civilians. What they’ve uncovered has been frustratingly incomplete: Perhaps not surprisingly, law enforcement agencies don’t keep very good stats on incidents that turn deadly. In short, it’s a mystery exactly how many Americans are shot by the police every year. However, as I and others have reported, there is some national data out there. It’s not complete, but it provides a general idea of how many people die at the hands of the police—and the significant racial disparity among them:• The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Uniform Crime Reporting program records that 410 people were killed in justifiable homicides by police in 2012. While the FBI collects information on the victims’ race, it does not publish the overall racial breakdown.• The Justice Department’s Bureau of Justice Statistics reports that between 2003 and 2009 there were more than 2,900 arrest-related deaths involving law enforcement. Averaged over seven years, that’s about 420 deaths a year. While BJS does not provide the annual number of arrest-related deaths by race or ethnicity, a rough calculation based on its data shows that black people were about four times as likely to die in custody or while being arrested than whites."

' This is how Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson justified shooting black teenager Michael Brown. Reading this particular piece of evidence from the vast dump of Grand Jury documents released last night, it would be impossible not to sympathise with Wilson. A lone 'small' policeman in a patrol car confronted by a gigantic Hulk. There's just one problem. Wilson, by his own admission in his police interview, is 6ft 4in tall, the exact same height as Michael Brown.+5 +5Hulking? Michael Brown, left, was 6 ft, 4 in. Darren Wilson claims he was a like a gigantic hulk. But Wilson, right, is the same height and weighed 210 lbs at the time he shot Brown dead He also weighs 210lbs, which may be 80lbs lighter than Brown, but still makes him a pretty hefty unit.

Photograph: Mario Anzuoni/Reuters A second man has been shot by police in the Missouri city where an unarmed black 18-year-old was shot dead last weekend, according to multiple reports. Police officials told local reporters that the man was shot in Ferguson by a St Louis County officer after pointing a handgun at him soon after 1am on Wednesday, following fresh demonstrations over the death on Saturday of Michael Brown. The officer was responding to reports of shots being fired and men wearing ski masks carrying shotguns. The man was in critical condition in hospital, a police spokesman told the St Louis Post-Dispatch, Fox 2 and KMOV, and his gun was recovered at the scene. A woman was separately being treated in hospital after being shot in the head during a drive-by shooting in the city. The incidents followed the peaceful end earlier to a tense standoff between protesters and police, prompting hopes of avoiding a third night of violence. A raucous convoy of about 250 young demonstrators, marching along a main route into downtown Ferguson, was halted about 30 yards from a wall of police assembled at the entrance to the street where Brown was killed by a still-unidentified officer on Saturday. Officers in military-style uniforms, some carrying high-powered rifles and wearing balaclavas, formed a line at least two men deep and blocking the entire width of Florrisant Street, the main drag where angry protests over Brown's killing had flared for the previous two nights. Pitched behind two large armoured trucks, they repeatedly warned the demonstrators through a Tannoy system to \"\"get out of the road or face arrest\"\" – the same warning delivered on Monday night before officers fired teargas, rubber bullets and wooden baton rounds into the crowds."

Protesters have blocked bridges and tunnels, spilled into roadways and disrupted Black Friday shopping in more than 150 cities in mostly peaceful protests that conjure memories of the civil rights movement for some. The demonstrators were furious at the grand jury decision, but their frustration transcends anger over what happened between Wilson and Brown in the shadow of St. Louis one Saturday afternoon in August. \"\" It's bigger than what happened in Ferguson,\"\" said Dorothy Brown, a law professor at Emory University School of Law in Atlanta. After the grand jury completed its work, many around the United States have interpreted what happened in Ferguson squarely in the context of a larger, historic narrative about race and justice in America. To them, Ferguson is just the latest reminder that the American criminal justice system doesn't treat blacks and whites the same -- and that young black men in particular are often killed with impunity."

My favorite type of laying duck is the Indian Runner, whose breed hails from India and Indonesia. This breed of duck works harder than any other breed of duck, except perhaps Metzer’s Golden Hybrid Layer 300. However, Runners give the best ROI because they tend to eat less, pack very little muscle (would not make good meat ducks) and lay huge tasty eggs! Your duck’s eggs will taste like whatever you feed them. If you feed them chicken layer feed, their eggs will taste more like chicken eggs. If you feed them a fresh balanced diet and allow them a yard to free range in, their eggs will be naturally creamy and salty – no need to add extra seasoning!duck food When my female starts laying, she has intense cravings for meat and leafy greens. Her favorite Chinese vegetables are watercress, bok choy and gailan. She also enjoys fresh romaine lettuce mixed with rice. For protein, I give her whatever we’re having."

I've got it marked on my calendar to have some nesting boxes built with a few fake eggs ready to entice my girls.

Jun 7, 2008 #4dragonshiner Chillin' With My Peeps1063131Mar 20, 2008NE Wisconsin From what I read in Storey's ducks don't NEED a nesting box, but can be trained to use one. The free range ones will still lay eggs but you never know where until you happen across the eggs. I was also told by a breeder at a swap meet today that her ducks have tendencies to lay their eggs before 8 am each day."

If you’ve ever seen a duck go butt up, flapping it’s little webbed feet on the surface of the water, you’ll understand what she meant. Even if you agree, though, there’s still a possibility that ducks may not be right for you. To learn about more homestead-friendly animals (even the difficult ones), you may want to check this out: For the Love of Ducks Perhaps my mom’s love of ducks was born in her youth. She and her sister raised a few Easter ducklings to maturity. One of those babies got bonked in the head with a walking sprinkler and sweetly peeped the rest of it’s life. On another occasion, the ladies of the house thought they heard a prowler. After a call to the police department, two officers came by to check on their safety. They walked around the property to make sure all was safe, including in the back yard where the ducks free ranged. A few minutes had passed when one officer came to the door."

"text": "Caring for orphan lambs Once lambing season is upon us occasionally we are left with orphan lambs, or if triplets are born then some may also need hand-rearing. Firstly orphans / hand-reared lambs will need to receive colostrum ideally from their dam or if this is not possible a manufacturers substitute can be used. Hand-rearing takes a lot of time and hard work, but can be very rewarding. You will require either a large sterilized bottle with a rubber teat, or for multiple lambs you can use a sterile bucket with teats around it to make a multi-feeding station if you do not want multiple bottles. Lambs will require a milk formula which is made from a milk substitute, cows milk is not acceptable. For the first four or five days the lambs will need feeding every 4 hours, after this period that can increase to 6-8 hours until weaning. The initial amount of milk can gradually be increased from 1 pint up to 3 pints at weaning. After the first week a small amount of concentrate feed such as Lamb Starter Grower can be introduced gradually alongside the milk. At around 6 weeks of age the lambs can be gradually weaned off the milk substitute and onto the Lamb Starter Grower which can be fed to appetite as the milk is diminished and withdrawn from the diet. Throughout this whole process lambs should be housed in a clean warm environment with access to fresh clean water at all times, care should be taken with the depth of water to make sure they do not drown."

"text": "\"Khaki Campbell Duck Mrs. Adele Campbell of Gloucestershire, England, developed this breed late in the 1800s with the goal of providing her husband and son with a consistent supply of roast duckling. She crossed her Fawn and White Indian Runner, an exceptional layer, with a Rouen to create offspring that would lay well and have bigger bodies. From this humble foundation, one of the world's most prolific egg laying breed, the Campbell, was developed. The breed was introduced to the public in 1898 with these original Campbells resembling poorly colored Mallards. In an attempt to create a buff duck (buff colored feathers were a fad at this time), Mrs. Campbell mated her original Campbells back to Penciled Runner ducks. The resulting color, not quite buff, reminded Mrs. Campbell of British army uniforms, so she named these new ducks \"\"Khaki Campbell.\"\" ( Holderread, 2001) Campbells made their way to the United States in 1929 through importation by Perry Fish of Syracuse, New York. By 1941, they were recognized by the American Poultry Association (APA) in its American Standard of Perfection, but their numbers languished for many years. This changed in the 1970's when Khaki Campbell numbers increased dramatically in the United States due to a back-to-the-land movement, a surge of duck-egg-loving Asian immigrants after the Vietnam War, and the importation of a particularly productive strain of Khaki Campbells in 1977. ( Holderread, 2001) The Campbell duck is a light weight bird that on average weighs 4 to 4 1/2 pounds."

"text": "\"Extension > Food > Small Farms > Livestock > Raising ducks Raising ducks By Melvin L. Hamre Extension Animal Scientist, Poultry Department of Animal Science About 22 million ducks are raised annually in the United States. Most are produced under confinement on specialized duck farms in a few commercially important duck production areas. However, many farms still raise a few ducks primarily for family use or local sale. This publication is intended for the latter group. Ducks are raised primarily for meat. Although most breeds used are relatively poor layers, the flock should be managed to save the eggs produced for food purposes or hatching. The commercial duck industry is built around the Pekin breed. Pekins reach market weight early and are fairly good egg producers, but they are poor setters and seldom raise a brood. The Rouen is a popular farm flock breed. It is slower growing than the Pekin, but it reaches the same weight over the 5 to 6 month period of feeding and foraging under farm flock conditions."

"text": "What you need for ducklings and what ducklingsneed from you from the day you get them.-STAGE 1-The Brooder (the hothouse) You will need to create a “brooder” to house your ducklings for the first 4-6 weeks to keep them warm. There are many different models of all-inclusive brooders from battery style boxes to hovering space ship looking canopies; they can utilize gas or electric. They can be expensive and you can often just as easily create your own brooder for less. Ducklings need .75 sq ft each for the first two weeks, 1.75 until 4 wks, 2.75 until 6wks. Half this for the bantams. We have found plastic Rubbermaid totes/tubs to work best for smaller numbers of ducklings as they are easily maneuverable, however a kiddy provides much more space especially for larger numbers but is very awkward to get move outside when full of used bedding and needs additional guards to be set around the perimeter to keep ducklings in and drafts out. Bedding We find Rye straw to be the best bedding source because it is cushiony, makes a nice nest, it keeps deep litter aerated, and when it needs to be changed it can be used as fertilizer rich mulch in our garden. Shavings, sawdust, peanut hulls, and crushed corncobs have all been used satisfactorily, NO cedar and treated woods. We have tried peat moss seeing it is a wonderful mold-resistant bedding source but found that our ducks liked to forage in it creating muddy water in minutes. Some say ducks can choke on the straw, ducklings start foraging hours after they hatch, if it looks like it could be food (grass/ a worm), they might try to eat it, make sure the straw is large and gets changed as soon as dampened."

Although ducks will lay anywhere they can be trained to lay in low nest boxes especially if you place some pot eggs in the box. Plenty of straw which is changed frequently will help to keep the eggs clean once they start to lay. As they approach 20 weeks I would put some pot eggs in a low nest box or place a big pile of straw in the corner of the hut with some pot eggs in. My ducks started laying at 20 weeks old. I have found that my khaki campbell ducks generally lay their eggs early morning which means that it is not difficult to collect the eggs as they usually lay them in the hut before they are let out to free range for the day. I hope this helps. Let me know how you get on with your ducks and their laying.

"text": "Pension Reform in Jamaica Pension Section News – Number 64 | May 2007Pension Reform in Jamaica By Megan Irvine and Cathy Lyn, FIA, FSAIntroduction The government and private sector of Jamaica have been working hard to enable people who have worked a full career to receive pensions that can at least provide for minimum living requirements in their golden years. This is a worldwide problem and while each country presents unique issues, the sharing of knowledge and strategies may be of general benefit to practitioners in pension systems and consequently the population covered by these systems. Jamaica has a total population of 2.7 million people. Retirement with an immediate pension can be as early as age 50 years and as late as age 70 years. The average age at death for persons receiving a pension from a pension plan is in the late seventies to early eighties; so retirees need an income for many years after ceasing employment. The “social security system” is weak but occupational pension funds (private sector) with retirement savings now worth about US$1.5 billion have been established since the 1940s covering about 70,000 private sector workers out of a total workforce of 1 million. A further 130,000 to 180,000 working persons are covered under unfunded government programs for the public sector. As elsewhere, the population of senior citizens (aged 60 and over) is increasing both in absolute number and as a percentage of the total population and is the fastest growing age group of the population. It is therefore critical to implement long-term measures that allow larger numbers of senior citizens to be financially self-sufficient. In addition to the benefits to the retirees, more savings could strengthen the economy as these funds provide financing for profitable long-term ventures."

The fact that my grandfather, Usain Bolt and many other Jamaican-born athletes are so fast is, in scientific terms, an anomaly. Anomalies are often the harbingers of a profound scientific insight.

The natural increase is expected to be positive, as the number of births will exceed the number of deaths by 30,370. If external migration will remain on the previous year level, the population will be declined by 19,767 due to the migration reasons. It means that the number of people who leave Jamaica to settle permanently in another country (emigrants) will prevail over the number of people who move into the country (to which they are not native) in order to settle there as permanent residents (immigrants). Population change rates in 2018According to our estimations, daily change rates of Jamaica population in 2018 will be the following:136 live births average per day (5.67 in an hour)53 deaths average per day (2.20 in an hour)-54 emigrants average per day (-2.26 in an hour)The population of Jamaica will be increased by 29 persons daily in 2018.

Photo: Getty Images Jamaica’s Usain Bolt, the “World’s Fastest Man” and undoubtedly the most entertaining Olympic athlete in decades, made the kind of debut at the 2016 Rio Games that most would expect from the six-time gold medalist and world-record holder. Before taking questions from reporters at his introductory press conference on Monday, Bolt sauntered and sambaed out with a group of dancers befitting a Rio Carnival parade float. Usain Bolt's Rio news conference becomes samba session pic.twitter.com/F5Du O3w SL1— Dan Roan (@danroan) August 8, 2016Afterward, Bolt flashed the braggadocio and confidence that’s made him not only Jamaica’s greatest Olympian but maybe even the greatest across every border. Bolt, who will turn 30 on the day of the closing ceremony, is used to making bold claims and then backing them up. \"\" I'm going to win the 100 meters,\"\" Bolt told CNN. \"\" I never try to predict times, I avoid that because you never know. I'll win all three gold [medals], there's never anything else for me when it comes to a championship. \"\" Bolt is already the two-time defending Olympic champion in the 100 meters, 200 meters, and the 4x100 relay that he shares with his Jamaica teammates, and he has the opportunity to be the first to ever win the esteemed events three consecutive times. But he’s also out to better himself and once again amend the record books. \"\""

There is just something about this country and its people that make it a very cool place to be! Being that the Point Village resort seem to be experiencing a period of some type of transition it seems that we need to remove this resort from our short list.

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the day Hurricane Gilbert unleashed its fury on Jamaica, killing more than 40 persons and leaving millions of dollars in damage. SUNDAY night, September 11, 1988, New Kingston was alive with mostly young people having a good time at The Club, one of the hottest spots in the capital city at the time. For the most part they, like many other Jamaicans, had ignored TV weatherman Roy Forrester's forecast that Tropical Storm Gilbert had strengthened to a category 3 hurricane and had Jamaica in its crosshairs. The following morning they awoke to the reality that Jamaica was about to be clobbered by this monster hurricane, which had exited the African coastline on September 3 and had developed into the 12th tropical depression of the season on September 8 on its approach to the Windward Islands. Convinced that Jamaica would receive Gilbert's full force, the authorities warned Jamaicans to stay indoors. Instructions as to what to expect as the eye passed over the island were also issued: The wind and rain will cease, they said, but that will not be the end of the storm, so be careful. Then, near mid-morning, electricity was cut off and the country waited in fear. Making landfall on Jamaica's eastern tip at approximately 9:00 am, Gilbert, packing winds of near 130 miles per hour, ravaged the entire island. Official data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) show that Gilbert claimed 45 lives in Jamaica."

The twelfth and final tropical cyclone of the season, Gordon formed in the southwestern Caribbean on November 8. Without strengthening, the storm made landfall on Nicaragua. Later on November 10, the storm began to strengthen as it tracked further from land, and it quickly strengthened into Tropical Storm Gordon, the seventh named storm that season. Gordon also made landfalls in Jamaica and Cuba while a minimal tropical storm. It entered the southwestern Atlantic while resembling a subtropical cyclone. By the time it entered the Gulf of Mexico, it was fully tropical again. Tropical Storm Gordon later crossed the Florida Keys, and turning to the northeast it made landfall in Fort Myers, Florida. Gordon strengthened after it re-entered the Atlantic Ocean, becoming a hurricane on November 17. It briefly threatened North Carolina while turning to the northwest, although it turned to the south and weakened."

"text": "\"Jamaica Population 20182,895,526The island of Jamaica, which celebrated 50 years of independence in 2012 after finally breaking away from centuries of rule by the Spanish and then the British, has a population of 2.90 million in 2018, up from the estimated 2.8 million in 2015. That's pretty impressive for an island nation with just 10,991 square kilometers (4,244 square miles) of area. This means that Jamaica is now the world's 139th most populous country. To be precise, the latest official estimate – provided in 2014 by the Statistical Institute of Jamaica – is 2,720,554. However, other demographers disagree, and believe that the population of Jamaica is actually considerably higher than the government believes. The CIA World Factbook, for example, had estimated that the Jamaica population in 2012 was actually 2,889,187, not the 2.7 million estimated by the Statistical Institute of Jamaica. Jamaica has a long history of census taking, and currently holds a census every ten years. The last census took place in July 2011, which showed a total of 2,697,983 residents in the country. A 2014 estimate showed 2.72 million, while estimates for 2016 are thought to be around 2.9 million. Depending on which estimates you use (the Jamaican government's or the CIA Factbook), Jamaica experienced a population growth of 5 or 15% from 2001 to 2011."

However, for a child of Irish heritage surrounded by gifted parents and family, these were very natural traits. Maureen made her entrance into this caring haven on August 17, 1920, in Ranelagh (a suburb of Dublin), Ireland. Her mother, Marguerita Lilburn Fitz Simons, was an accomplished contralto. Her father, Charles Fitz Simons, managed a business in Dublin and also owned part of the renowned Irish soccer team \"\"The Shamrock Rovers\"\". Maureen was the second of six Fitz Simons children - Peggy, Florrie, Charles B. Fitzsimons, Margot Fitzsimons and James O'Hara completed this beautiful family. Maureen loved playing rough athletic games as a child and excelled in sports. She combined this interest with an equally natural gift for performing. This was demonstrated by her winning pretty much every Feis award for drama and theatrical performing her country offered. By age 14 she was accepted to the prestigious Abbey Theater and pursued her dream of classical theater and operatic singing."

Reverse thrust acts against the forward travel of the aircraft, providing deceleration. Thrust reverser systems are featured on many jet aircraft to help slow down just after touch-down, reducing wear on the brakes and enabling shorter landing distances. Such devices affect the aircraft significantly and are considered important for safe operations by airlines. There have been accidents involving thrust reversal systems, including fatal ones. Reverse thrust is also available on many propeller-driven aircraft through reversing the controllable-pitch propellers to a negative angle. The equivalent concept for a ship is called astern propulsion.

Related to Polar jet stream: Subtropical jet streamjet stream,narrow, swift currents or tubes of air found at heights ranging from 7 to 8 mi (11.3–12.9 km) above the surface of the earth. They are caused by great temperature differencesbetween adjacent air massesair mass,large body of air within the earth's atmosphere in which temperature and humidity, although varying at different heights, remain similar throughout the body at any one height...... Click the link for more information.. There are four major jet streams. Although discontinuous at somepoints, they circle the globe at middle and polar latitudes, both in each hemisphere. The meanposition of the stream in the Northern Hemisphere is between lat. 20 and 50 degrees N; the polarstream is between lat 30 and 70 degrees N. Wind speeds average 35 mi (56.3 km) per hr in summerand 75 mi (120.7 km) per hr in winter, although speeds as high as 200 mi (321.9 km) per hr havebeen recorded. Instead of moving along a straight line, the jet stream flows in a wavelike fashion; thewaves propagate eastward (in the Northern Hemisphere) at speeds considerably slower than thewind speed itself. Since the progress of an airplane is aided or impeded depending on whether tailwinds or head winds are encountered, in the Northern Hemisphere the jet stream is sought by eastbound aircraft, in order to gain speed and save fuel, and avoided by westbound aircraft.

"text": "Earth Sciences Climate change may be affecting the jet streamby Kate Brash | March 7, 2012 Comments If you have ever looked at a weather map, you’ve a seen picture of the jet stream, that wavy west to east line linking areas experiencing relatively similar weather. In the three dimensional world, jet streams are high altitude westerly winds that occur along the boundaries between air masses of different temperatures. They are driven by the temperature gradient; in the winter, when the gradient is steepest, jet streams are strongest. A new study provides evidence that climate change may be affecting the northern hemisphere jet stream. As a result of climate change, Arctic autumn temperatures have warmed by as much as 5 degrees Celsius (9 degrees F), reducing the temperature gradient between the Arctic and temperate latitudes. In response the jet stream appears to be moving northward and its wind speed slowing. In turn, this may be slowing the westward progression of waves in the jet stream, which cause weather variation along their westward path as they fluctuate north and south. The slowing of the jet stream, therefore, could cause weather patterns to remain in place for longer, resulting in prolonged heat waves or cold snaps. There is something intuitive about this, I think. I’ve recently had a couple of conversations about what the unnervingly consistent and mild winter we are experiencing in the northeastern US-and indeed across the country- means for the coming summer."

The average cruising altitude for long haul flights ranges from 30,000 to 40,000 feet depending on the capability of the aircraft. Aircrafts are cleared to specified heights on each leg of their journey. The ATC will not clear a pilot to fly at 30,000 feet if Mt. Everest is in its route. They will either detour or climb higher.

( The atmosphere is rotating in the same direction as the Earth but westerly winds move faster and easterly winds move slower than the Earth's surface. Remember winds are identified by the direction they are coming from not heading to! ) The broad and very deep band of fast-moving westerlies in the westerly wind belt, centred around 45°S ( but interrupted at intervals by migrating cyclones moving east but not shown in the schematic above) lose momentum to the Earth through surface friction; resulting in the Southern Ocean's west wind drift surface current. The equatorial easterlies or trade winds, and to a lesser extent the polar easterlies, gain momentum from the Earth's surface. That gain in momentum is transferred, to maintain the westerlies, via large atmospheric eddies and waves – the sub-tropical high and the sub-polar low belts. These eddies and waves are also a part of the mechanism by which excess insolation heat energy is transferred from the low to the higher latitudes. Globally the equatorial low pressure trough is situated at about 5°S during January and about 10°N during July. Over the Pacific the trough does not shift very far from that average position, but due to differential heating it moves considerably further north and south over continental land masses. The low level air moving towards the trough from the sub-tropical high belts at about 30°S and 30°N is deflected by Coriolis and forming the south-east and north-east trade winds."

"text": "\"What causes the jet stream? A jet stream forms high in the upper troposphere between two air masses of very different temperature. The greater the temperature difference between the air masses, the faster the wind blows in the jet stream. This river of air has wind speeds which often exceed 100 mph, and sometimes peak over 200 mph. Jet streams usually form in the winter, when there is a greater contrast in temperature between cold continental air masses and warm oceanic air masses. The following image shows an example of this from the National Weather Service's Aviation computer forecast model: But how does the temperature difference between two air masses cause the jet stream? Since colder air is more dense than warmer air, there is an air pressure difference between them at any altitude. And if the warm and cold air masses are quite deep, higher altitudes in the atmosphere experience progressively larger air pressure differences. Since it is horizontal air pressure differences that cause wind, this leads to very strong winds. But at some altitude high in the troposphere, the temperature difference reverses, and as you progress higher the winds then decrease."

"text": "Windstorm, a wind that is strong enough to cause at least light damage to trees and buildings and may or may not be accompanied by precipitation. Wind speeds during a windstorm typically exceed 55 km (34 miles) per hour. Wind damage can be attributed to gusts (short bursts of high-speed winds) or longer periods of stronger sustained winds. Although tornadoes and tropical cyclones also produce wind damage, they are usually classified separately. Windstorms may last for just a few minutes when caused by downbursts from thunderstorms, or they may last for hours (and even several days) when they result from large-scale weather systems. A windstorm that travels in a straight line and is caused by the gust front (the boundary between descending cold air and warm air at the surface) of an approaching thunderstorm is called a derecho. Gustavus Hinrichs, a physics professor from the University of Iowa and founder of the Iowa Weather Service, applied the term derecho —a Spanish word that means “straight” or “right”—to straight-line winds in 1888. Derechos are capable of causing widespread damage and landscape devastation. For example, the winds of a derecho occurring in northern Minnesota, U. S., on July 4, 1999, peaked at or near 160 km (100 miles) per hour and blew down tens of millions of trees.thunderstorm: gust front The development of a gust front from a thunderstorm.

But something is happening to the jet stream that could explain why Britain has experienced a conveyor belt of storms dumping huge amounts of rain onto flood-battered parts of the country. Scientists are increasingly convinced that the jet stream is stuck in a position that has thrown warm, moisture-laden air from the Atlantic over Britain for weeks at a time. Some climate researchers believe it is affected by warmer-than-usual conditions in the Arctic. The result is that the ribbon of air is blocked in a \"\"standing wave\"\", causing temperatures to plunge in the US and storms to wreak havoc in the UK. \"\" The jet stream is what generates our weather, steers our weather... it basically controls the weather all around the mid-latitude areas except the tropics,\"\" Professor Jennifer Francis of Rutgers University in Brunswick, New Jersey, told the American Association for the Advancement of Science. \"\" It's been in a very persistent pattern shooting pretty straight across the Atlantic bringing a lot of moisture, a lot of energy and a lot of storms directly into the UK. \"\" The jet stream flows from west to east around the northern hemisphere and is driven by the temperature difference between intensely cold Arctic air and relatively warmer air at lower latitudes.

So a passenger jet traveling in the same direction as the Earth’s rotation should never reach its destination, right? Yet somehow it is possible to fly east from Vancouver, British Columbia to Toronto, Ontario—a distance of over 3000 km—in just five hours! In fact, in the Northern Hemisphere, planes actually tend to fly faster when they’re travelling in the same direction as the Earth’s rotation. To understand why, you also need to understand how gravity and the jet stream come into play. Spinning Earth Did you know? The circumference of the Earth is slighter greater around the equator (40,075 km) than around the poles (39,941 km). This bulge at the equator is a result of centrifugal forces caused by the Earth’s rotation!A typical passenger jet (such as a Boeing 737 or an Airbus A320) has a cruising speed of about 800 km/h. To calculate the Earth’s rotational speed, consider that the circumference of the Earth at the equator is about 40,000 km and it takes about 24 hours for the Earth to complete one rotation around its axis. This means that, at the equator, the surface of the Earth is spinning at around 1,700 km/h (40,000 km divided by 24 hours)."

Some planes in the sky leave trails that persist and spread, and other planes, in the same sky, leave short-lived trails, or no trails at all. These trails are actually called contrails, short for “condensation trails”. They are not smoke from the engines, they are formed when the water in jet exhaust (and there’s quite a lot of it, like car exhaust on a cold day) mixes with wet cold air, and condenses and freezes into ice crystals. Contrails are actually a type of cirrus cloud. When the air is wet and cold enough the trails can stay around for a long time, and sometimes spread out. This difference between trails that fade away, and trails that spread, is often used as evidence of the “chemtrail” theory, which states that the longer lasting trails (or some of them) are being deliberately manipulated for some reason. So you see helpful images like this. But this is wrong. Contrails can fade away, and contrails can persist and spread."

In any event, these are the levels we look at for the jet stream. The layer of the atmosphere where the jet stream resides is not completely clear. The most common definition given for the top of the troposphere is where the temperature stops decreasing and begins increasing."

Argon, carbon dioxide and various trace gases make up the remainder. Scientists divided the atmosphere into four layers according to temperature: troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. The temperature drops as we go up through the troposphere, but it rises as we move through the next layer, the stratosphere. The farther away from earth, the thinner the atmosphere gets. TROPOSPHERE This is the layer of the atmosphere closest to the Earth's surface, extending up to about 10-15 km above the Earth's surface. It contains 75% of the atmosphere's mass. The troposphere is wider at the equator than at the poles. Temperature and pressure drops as you go higher up the troposphere."

These layers are divided vertically on the basis of temperature. The different layers alternate between regions of increasing temperature and decreasing temperature with height. The Troposphere: Meteorologists spend most of their time studying the processes in the troposphere. It is often thought of as the \"\"zone of weather\"\". All of the precipitation, winds, storms, and clouds (except a few observed in the stratosphere and mesosphere) we observe occur in this bottom-most layer. The troposphere is characterized by turbulent mixing and overturning. This turbulence results from uneven heating of the surface and the atmosphere. Temperature decreases with height in this layer."

A: Quick Answer In the troposphere, temperature decreases as altitude increases primarily because Earth's atmosphere is heated upward from the lowest level. Although sunlight passes through the higher altitudes to reach the surface of the Earth, the surface is much better at absorbing the solar heat. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Is the Importance of the Troposphere? Where Do the Temperature Inversions Occur in the Atmosphere? What Are Two Major Forces That Shape the Earth? Full Answer Air is warmer near a heat source than the air farther from it, and the Earth is a heat source for the atmosphere. From the ground up, heat gradually radiates through the troposphere, with a portion of it radiating away into space. Additionally, air has low thermal conductivity by volume. As warm air rises and expands, it pushes off against existing atmosphere, but it transfers so little heat that the process results in a net loss of energy."

Carbon dioxide accounts for just 0.03 - 0.04%. Water vapour, varying in amount from 0 to 2%, carbon dioxide and some other minor gases present in the atmosphere absorb some of the thermal radiation leaving the surface and emit radiation from much higher and colder levels out to space. These radiatively active gases are known as greenhouse gases because they act as a partial blanket for the thermal radiation from the surface and enable it to be substantially warmer than it would otherwise be, analogous to the effect of a greenhouse. This blanketing is known as the natural greenhouse effect. Without the greenhouse gases, Earth's average temperature would be roughly -20°C. TThe atmosphere is a cloud of gas and suspended solids extending from the Earth's surface out many thousands of miles, becoming increasingly thinner with distance but always held by the Earth's gravitational pull. The atmosphere is made up of layers. it surrounds the Earth and holds the air we breathe; it protects us from outer space; and holds moisture (clouds), gases, and tiny particles."

"text": "Alcohol Awareness Driving While Intoxicated in New Jersey Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over Additional Alcohol-Related Information & Resources In New Jersey, a person is guilty of drunk driving if he/she operates a motor vehicle with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.08 percent or greater. BAC refers to the amount of alcohol in your blood. Although the law refers to a 0.08 percent BAC, you can be convicted of driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor even when your BAC is below 0.08 percent. Consuming even small amounts of alcohol dulls the senses, decreases reaction time, and hampers judgement, vision and alertness. If you consume any amount of alcohol and your driving is negatively impacted, you can be convicted of drunk driving. Parents and Guardians A parent or guardian who is convicted of driving while intoxicated and had a passenger in the motor vehicle 17 years of age or younger, is also guilty of a disorderly persons offense. In addition, a person forfeits the right to operate a motor vehicle for a maximum of six months and must perform community service for up to five days. The Penalties1st Offense Under New Jersey Law (P. L. 2003, CHAPTER 314), if an offender’s BAC is 0.08 percent or higher, but less than 0.10 percent, or if an offender permits another person with a BAC over 0.08 percent, but less than 0.10 percent to operate a motor vehicle, the penalties are: A fine of $250-$400*Imprisonment for up to 30 days*3 months license suspension*A minimum of six hours a day for two consecutive days in an Intoxicated Driver Resource Center An automobile insurance surcharge of $1,000 a year for 3 years.

More to the point, it is a way to measure a person’s judgment abilities, reflexes and moods. A rating of .03 for most people is little more than relaxed feeling with a bit of lightheadedness. Moving up the scale to a level between .04 to .06, drinkers begins to lose their inhabitations along with memory loss and impairment of reasoning. At .07 to .09, impairment of balance, speech, vision, reaction time, and hearing occurs. The law in many states makes it illegal to drive with a BAC of .08. This particular level causes the person to experience a reduction in caution, judgment, and self-control. Added to these dangerous conditions is the illusion you are functioning better than you really are. There is a significant impairment of judgment and coordination when reaching levels above .08.

"text": "How Long Does Alcohol Stay in Your System: Urine, Blood & Breath? How Long Does Alcohol Stay in Your System?“How long does alcohol stay in your system” and “How long does alcohol stay in your blood” are two commonly asked questions regarding alcohol in the body, and they’re asked for several reasons. Perhaps you’re awaiting alcohol testing for a job, or you’ll be enrolling in a detox program soon. The answers to these questions is dependent on a variety of factors, including the amount of alcohol consumed and the number of drinks consumed. Also, it’s important to keep in mind that alcohol stays in different parts of the body for different amounts of time. These factors also determine how long it takes for a person to reach a state of sobriety. To answer the “How long does alcohol stay in your system” question, a normal, healthy liver can process roughly one drink per hour, so typically one drink will stay in your system for one hour. That means that if you finish a drink at 6:00, you will generally be in the clear by 7:00. However, if you have a second one at 6:30, the time is added. You’ll have 30 minutes left from the first drink, plus the additional hour from the second one, meaning you’ll be intoxicated until 8:00."

"text": "\"It was only 10 years after mass production of automobiles began in the U. S. that the first drunk-driving law was passed in New York in 1910. Soon California followed as did many other states. These early laws didn’t define the level of intoxication. When blood alcohol content (BAC) levels were first introduced as a standard, laws in the 1930s and 1940s set the bar at .15% (it is now .08%). With the invention of the Breathalyzer in 1953 (replacing the 20-year old and relatively imprecise Drunkometer), modern testing of BAC was officially in place. The final evolution of DUIs occurred in the 1970s with the lobbying efforts of Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) who raised the age for drinking (and driving licenses), and lowered the BAC levels. DUI vs. DWI vs. DWAIThe law prohibiting drunk driving is most commonly known as DUI (for driving under the influence). However many states use other acronyms including: DUIL (driving under the influence of liquor)DWI (driving while intoxicated)OMVI (operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated)OWI (operating while intoxicated), or OUI (operating under the influence). Regardless of the acronym the meaning is generally the same -- driving under the influence of alcohol (or drugs). Don’t make the mistake of calling it “drunk driving.”"

A Breathalyzer is a valuable purchase to ensure personal safety and the safety of others. An individual may purchase one for self-testing and monitoring to avoid the consequences of driving while intoxicated, or simply for a general understanding of how alcohol affects the body. Since factors like weight, muscle mass, and recently consumed food or beverages all affect the measurement of person's blood alcohol content (BAC), it's impossible to accurately gauge intoxication level without a measurement tool like a breathalyzer. People are often enlightened when they measure their %BAC, particularly on different occasions after the same amount of alcohol is consumed.2. What is the difference between the Personal and Professional Breathalyzer models you offer? Is a Professional Breathalyzer worth the extra money? All breathalyzers sold at Breathalyzer.net are high quality and accurate products, and meet the standards of FDA 510 (k) cleared devices, which means that the product has been deemed \"\"safe and effective\"\" for consumer use. We've simplified the process of selecting a breathalyzer by categorizing all models into one of two categories: Personal Breathalyzers, which use semiconductor oxide sensors, and Professional Breathalyzers, such as BACtrack Mobile, BACtrack S80, BACtrack Trace, BACtrack S75, BACtrack Element, and Lifeloc FC-10, which use fuel cell sensors."

And, in most cases, you are NOT looking at spending any time in jail, unless you opt for 24 or 48 hours in lieu of community service. However, this fact should not serve to diminish the serious and permanent nature of a DWI conviction on your driving and criminal record. And, it is frighteningly easy for a misdemeanor DWI to become a felony. All that is required is for you to cause an accident where you cause serious injury or death to another person. Even in a single car incident, an injured passenger can elevate your DWI to felony status. There are also other scenarios where a DWI can result in time in prison. We discuss in more detail below: NC Felony DWI Types Felony Death by Vehicle Whenever you get behind the wheel after drinking, you risk getting stopped and arrested for DUI.

Hormone levels also affect the body’s ability to process alcohol, and women will experience higher BACs drinking their regular amount of alcohol right before menstruation. Women tend to have a higher percentage of body fat and a lower percentage of water. Additionally, the less you weigh, the more you will be affected by a given amount of alcohol.

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Science Alcohol Hangover: Biology, Physiology and Preventions Share Flipboard Email Print Betsie Van der Meer/ Stone/ Getty Imagesby Regina Bailey Updated March 08, 2017Alcohol can have various biological and behavioral effects on the body. People who consume alcohol to intoxication often experience what is known as a hangover. Hangovers result in unpleasant physical and mental symptoms including fatigue, headache, dizziness, and vertigo. While there are some suggested treatments to curb the effects of a hangover, the best way to prevent a hangover from occurring is not to consume alcohol. Since the effects of most hangovers subside after 8 to 24 hours, time is the most effective remedy for alcohol hangover symptoms. Alcohol Hangover Hangovers are a frequent, though unpleasant, experience among people who drink to intoxication. Despite the prevalence of hangovers, however, this condition is not well understood scientifically. Multiple possible contributors to the hangover state have been investigated, and researchers have produced evidence that alcohol can directly promote hangover symptoms through its effects on urine production, the gastrointestinal tract, blood sugar concentrations, sleep patterns, and biological rhythms. In addition, researchers postulate that effects related to alcohol's absence after a drinking bout (i.e., withdrawal), alcohol metabolism, and other factors (e.g., biologically active, nonalcohol compounds in beverages; the use of other drugs; certain personality traits; and a family history of alcoholism) also may contribute to the hangover condition. Few of the treatments commonly described for hangover have undergone scientific evaluation."

This attracts many commercial drivers to the state, and for those with past DUIs, it’s important to know Arizona’s stance on DUI convictions. Getting a CDL with a Past DUIEven with a previous DUI, you can still get your commercial driver license (CDL) in Arizona. If you were convicted for driving under the influence – in Arizona or any state – you must have completed the original license suspension before applying for your CDL. If you apply for a CDL and your license is still suspended, revoked or otherwise restricted, you’re CDL application will be rejected. Typically, DUI offenses include a license suspension. Once this suspension is up, you can apply for your commercial license. It’s important to note that when applying for your CDL in Arizona, it’s best to be forthright with your answers. A DUI conviction in another state will be shared with Arizona’s Motor Vehicle Division, and if you didn’t include that information on your application, it will be rejected. The Takeaway: A past DUI won’t stop you from getting a CDL if your license suspension is complete."

In most states, a BAC of .10% is considered legally drunk. This means that for every 1,000 milliliters of blood, the body contains 1 milliliter of alcohol. In some states, the legal definition of intoxication is .08%, which means that for every 1000 milliliters of blood, the body contains 8/10ths of a milliliter of alcohol. In addition, most states practice zero-tolerance laws, meaning if you are under 21 any alcohol in your system is against the law. The faster someone drinks, the higher the BAC is, and the more dangerous drinking becomes. A BAC of .37%-.40% or higher can cause death.

Inhalants are a diverse group of organic solvents, volatile substances, and propellant gases that are intentionally concentrated and inhaled for their psychoactive effects, which range from an alcohol-like intoxication to hallucinations. Their use can lead to inhalant abuse. Inhalant drugs are often used by children, teenagers, incarcerated or institutionalized people, and impoverished people, because these solvents and gases are ingredients in hundreds of legally-available, inexpensive products, such as aerosol spray cans, adhesives and rubber cements, deodorant sprays, hair spray, air fresheners, gasoline, lighter fluid, paint, and paint thinner. Inhalant drugs can be harmful for users because they were not intended for human inhalation in a concentrated form. Some inhalant users are injured or killed due to the effects of inhaling these solvents or gases themselves, which can cause hypoxia (lack of oxygen (e.g., if a plastic bag sticks to a user's face)), pneumonia, cardiac failure or arrest, or aspiration of vomit. Other inhalant users are injured due to the harmful effects of other chemicals used in these products, such as burns from gasoline vapour, or due to dangerous behaviour while they are intoxicated on these drugs. Most inhalant solvents and gases are not regulated under illegal drug laws such as the United States' Controlled Substances Act. However, many US states and Canadian cities have placed restrictions on the sale of some solvent-containing products to minors, particularly for products widely associated with \"\"sniffing\"\", such as model cement. The practice of inhaling such substances is sometimes colloquially referred to as huffing, sniffing (or \"\"glue-sniffing\"\") or chroming."

Hasn't the minimum legal drinking age been lowered before? What were the results of that natural experiment? If a person can go to war, shouldn't he or she be able to have a beer? Many youth under age 21 still drink, despite the current legal drinking age. Doesn’t that prove the policy is ineffective? Youth in other countries are exposed to alcohol at earlier ages and engage in less alcohol abuse and have healthier attitudes toward alcohol. Don't those countries have fewer alcohol-related problems than we do?"

"text": "\"Blood Alcohol Concentration Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC)The legal system uses a more scientific method for determining when a person is drunk, Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC,) the percentage of alcohol in the blood (or proportion of alcohol to blood in the body) as someone drinks. In most states, a BAC of .10% is considered legally drunk. This means that for every 1,000 milliliters of blood, the body contains 1 milliliter of alcohol. In some states, the legal definition of intoxication is .08%, which means that for every 1000 milliliters of blood, the body contains 8/10ths of a milliliter of alcohol. In addition, most states practice zero-tolerance laws, meaning if you are under 21 any alcohol in your system is against the law. The faster someone drinks, the higher the BAC is, and the more dangerous drinking becomes. A BAC of .37%-.40% or higher can cause death. Growing Impairment Following are ten snapshots of increasing drunkenness and impairment as blood alcohol concentration increases. Ranges are approximate and vary with the drinker:1.

By Straight DUI Staff on 3/10/2008Copyright © 2009 Straight DUI.com In many cases it has been reported that lowering the Blood Alcohol Count (BAC) is possible, but is that really so? Before giving any thought as to whether you can lower the BAC, let me explain what determines the Blood Alcohol Level. Basically, the BAC represents the percent of blood that is concentrated with alcohol. In other words, .10 means that 1% of your bloodstream is comprised of alcohol. Once a driver has reached the illegal BAC limit, their risk of being involved in a fatal car accident increases approximately 48 times when compared to someone who was not drinking. Currently, in most states, the illegal BAC limit is set at .08. The Percentages of BAC in the Blood Stream When alcohol gets into the blood stream it does different things to different people. For example, a driver’s ability to divide attention between two or more sources of visual information can be impaired by Blood Alcohol Content (BAC’s) of 0.02 percent or lower."

Blood alcohol concentration is usually expressed as a percentage of ethanol in the blood in units of mass of alcohol per volume of blood or mass of alcohol per mass of blood, depending on the country.

[ 3] Additionally, men are, on average, heavier than women but it is not strictly accurate to say that the water content of a person alone is responsible for the dissolution of alcohol within the body, because alcohol does dissolve in fatty tissue as well. When it does, a certain amount of alcohol is temporarily taken out of the blood and briefly stored in the fat."

Authorities are actively looking for people who violate the law, and many drivers are surprised to learn that they can be accused of driving while intoxicated (DWI) even after only a few drinks. In some cases, drivers may be arrested for a DWI even if their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is below the limit that the law defines as “intoxicated. ”Fortunately, there are often a number of ways in which a Texas DWI defense lawyer can help reduce the consequences you may be facing if you are accused of drunk driving. In some cases, an attorney may even be able to have the case against you dismissed or dropped by the state. What is driving while intoxicated under Texas Law? While drunk or drugged driving is illegal across the United States, each state has specific laws defining the offense and its associated legal penalties. In Texas, the general drunk driving law is found in Texas Penal Code Title 10, Chapter 49. The statute defines the term “intoxicated” in two distinct ways: Not having the normal use of your mental and physical faculties due to the consumption of drugs or alcohol; and/or Having a BAC of .08 percent or more."

Absorption Alcohol is primarily absorbed through the stomach and the small intestines. It is considered a food because it has calories, but does not need to be digested and proceeds directly into the body through the digestive system. After ingestion it is carried through the blood stream and crosses the blood–brain barrier, at which time impairment begins. A greater amount of ingestion causes greater impairment to the brain, which, in turn, causes a person to have a greater degree of difficulty in functioning. B. Metabolism/Elimination The majority of alcohol in the body is eliminated by the liver. Ninety percent is eliminated through the body, while ten percent is eliminated (unchanged) through sweat and urine. Before the liver can process alcohol, a threshold amount is needed and can occur at the rate of one 12 oz. can of beer, one 5 oz. glass of wine, or 1 1/2 oz."

However, research into the possibilities of using breath to test for alcohol in a person's body dates as far back as 1874, when Francis E. Anstie made the observation that small amounts of alcohol were excreted in breath. [ 4]Also, in 1927 a Chicago chemist, William Duncan Mc Nally, invented a breathalyzer in which the breath moving through chemicals in water would change color. One use for his invention was for housewives to test whether their husbands had been drinking. [ 5]In late 1927, in a case in Marlborough, England, a Dr. Gorsky, Police Surgeon, asked a suspect to inflate a football bladder with his breath. Since the 2 liters of the man's breath contained 1.5 ml of ethanol, [ dubious – discuss] Dr. Gorsky testified before the court that the defendant was \"\"50% drunk\"\".

How Long Does Alcohol Stay in Your System?“How long does alcohol stay in your system” and “How long does alcohol stay in your blood” are two commonly asked questions regarding alcohol in the body, and they’re asked for several reasons. Perhaps you’re awaiting alcohol testing for a job, or you’ll be enrolling in a detox program soon. The answers to these questions is dependent on a variety of factors, including the amount of alcohol consumed and the number of drinks consumed. Also, it’s important to keep in mind that alcohol stays in different parts of the body for different amounts of time. These factors also determine how long it takes for a person to reach a state of sobriety. To answer the “How long does alcohol stay in your system” question, a normal, healthy liver can process roughly one drink per hour, so typically one drink will stay in your system for one hour. That means that if you finish a drink at 6:00, you will generally be in the clear by 7:00. However, if you have a second one at 6:30, the time is added. You’ll have 30 minutes left from the first drink, plus the additional hour from the second one, meaning you’ll be intoxicated until 8:00."

All alcohol beverages contain exactly the same kind of alcohol: ethyl alcohol, or ethanol. Like its chemical cousins, methyl (such as Sterno) and isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, ethanol is an organic compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Chemically it is a hydrocarbon with one hydrogen atom replaced by a hydroxyl (OH) group. The human body can metabolize ethanol relatively well, but is less capable of handling other forms of alcohol which, therefore, have a much more toxic effect when consumed. Ethanol has been known and used as a drug for thousands of years. It is produced naturally by the interaction of yeast and sugar. In fact, small amounts of ethanol are produced naturally within the human body. Alcohol beverages are manufactured by three different but related processes."

The ideal gas concept is useful because it obeys the ideal gas law, a simplified equation of state, and is amenable to analysis under statistical mechanics. In most usual conditions (for instance at standard temperature and pressure), most real gases behave qualitatively like an ideal gas. Many gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, noble gases, and some heavier gases like carbon dioxide can be treated like ideal gases within reasonable tolerances. [ 1] Generally, a gas behaves more like an ideal gas at higher temperature and lower pressure, [1] as the potential energy due to intermolecular forces becomes less significant compared with the particles' kinetic energy, and the size of the molecules becomes less significant compared to the empty space between them. One mole of an ideal gas has a volume of 22.710947 (13) litres [2] at standard temperature and pressure (a temperature of 273.15 K and an absolute pressure of exactly 10 5 Pa) as defined by IUPAC since 1982. [ note 1]The ideal gas model tends to fail at lower temperatures or higher pressures, when intermolecular forces and molecular size becomes important. It also fails for most heavy gases, such as many refrigerants, [1] and for gases with strong intermolecular forces, notably water vapor. At high pressures, the volume of a real gas is often considerably greater than that of an ideal gas. At low temperatures, the pressure of a real gas is often considerably less than that of an ideal gas."

Photo by Andreas Kambanis from flickr, CC BY 2.0In day-to-day life, we measure gas pressure when we use a barometer to check the atmospheric pressure outside or a tire gauge to measure the pressure in a bike tube. When we do this, we are measuring a macroscopic physical property of a large number of gas molecules that are invisible to the naked eye. On the molecular level, the pressure we are measuring comes from the force of individual gas molecules colliding with other objects, such as the walls of their container. Let's take a closer look at pressure from a molecular perspective and learn how Dalton's Law helps us calculate total and partial pressures for mixtures of gases. Ideal gases and partial pressure In this article, we will be assuming the gases in our mixtures can be approximated as ideal gases. This assumption is generally reasonable as long as the temperature of the gas is not super low (close to 0 K ), and the pressure is around 1 atm. ["

After placing a 5-gallon plastic pail over the soda bottle and pan of water, I quickly moved far away to watch the results (CAUTION: If you plan on doing this experiment on your own, please read the hazards section at the end of this blog post). Some of the liquid nitrogen in the bottle vaporized as it gained energy from the water. This caused the pressure in the bottle to go up as a result of the buildup of nitrogen gas. The pressure increased to the point where the bottle could no longer contain the gas, and the bottle exploded. ("

Molecular Weights of Gases | Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures | Lab Work Molecular Weights of Gases Avogadro’s Law originally stated the equal volumes of gas at the same temperature and pressure contained equal numbers of moles of gas. This meant that one could measure the number of moles of a gas simply by measuring its volume. Actually, Avogadro didn’t determine the number of moles – or molecules – of gas in his samples. All he needed to do was to be able to compare the number of moles of gas in one sample to the number of moles in another. It was sufficient to know, for example, that molecules of hydrogen and oxygen gases combined in a two to one ratio to form water, and that for every two molecules of hydrogen that reacted, two molecules of water were formed. These “combining ratios” allowed Avogadro to determine the molecular formulas of hydrogen, oxygen, water, and many other gases. The discovery of Avogadro’s Law led to the first measurements of molecular weights, since if we know the mass of a sample of gas and the number of moles it contains, it’s a simple matter to calculate its molecular weight. The “combining weights” Avogadro determined are proportional to molecular weights."

Introduction Many chemists had dreamed of having an equation that describes relation of a gas molecule to its environment such as pressure or temperature. However, they had encountered many difficulties because of the fact that there always are other affecting factors such as intermolecular forces. Despite this fact, chemists came up with a simple gas equation to study gas behavior while putting a blind eye to minor factors. When dealing with gas, a famous equation was used to relate all of the factors needed in order to solve a gas problem. This equation is known as the Ideal Gas Equation. As we have always known, anything ideal does not exist. In this issue, two well-known assumptions should have been made beforehand:the particles have no forces acting among them, andthese particles do not take up any space, meaning their atomic volume is completely ignored. An ideal gas is a hypothetical gas dreamed by chemists and students because it would be much easier if things like intermolecular forces do not exist to complicate the simple Ideal Gas Law. Ideal gases are essentially point masses moving in constant, random, straight-line motion."

"text": "\" [–] chrisbaird Electrodynamics | Radar Imaging | Target Recognition 90 points 3 years ago *If left undisturbed, CO2 does sink lower to the ground than oxygen, although they both form separate exponential profiles (it's not like the bottom half of a volume is 100% CO2 while the top half is 100% oxygen - they both have distributions that tail off exponentially with height - it's just that the CO2 /oxygen density ratio is higher at the bottom of a large undisturbed container than at the top). For example, in large grain silos where CO2 can chemically build up, the CO2 sinks more to the bottom. A worker who walks directly into the bottom of the silo may find that he has too much CO2/not enough oxygen and can't breath properly. From the Penn State agricultural website:\"\"Like carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide is heavier than air so the highest concentration of gas is typically located at the silage surface, which is the area where a person will be going if they need to enter the silo for any reason. \"\" Out in the open atmosphere, there is enough motion in the air to keep the oxygen and carbon dioxide mixed up. This motion of the air mostly comes from convection currents (i.e. wind) caused by temperature differences. But if you go up high enough in the atmosphere, the temperature differences even out enough that the vertical mixing becomes insignificant. The higher part of the atmosphere does indeed have the different molecules settle out to different altitudes depending on their density. The altitude that marks the point separating the part of the atmosphere that is mixed and the higher part of the atmosphere that is not mixed is called the turbopause. In the region above the turbopause, hydrogen and helium are the lightest and form the highest parts of the atmosphere."

"text": "Lesson 1: The Ideal Gas Law In the last section we saw that Charles’ Law relates the volume of a gas to its temperature; Boyle’s Law relates volume to pressure; and Avogadro’s Law relates volume to the number of moles of gas present, as well as a number of other relationships between P, V, n, and T. In particular, we saw that volume is directly proportional to the temperature (in Kelvins!) and the number of moles of gas, and inversely proportional to pressure. In each case, there was a constant of proportionality whose value depending on the values of the quantities that were being held constant. Rather than remember all of the possible relationships between P, V, n, and T, and have to deal with a host of different “constants,” it would be nice to have a single relationship with a constant of proportionality that was really constant; that is, one whose value did not depend on what the other parameters’ values were. The Ideal Gas Law | Using the Ideal Gas Law The Ideal Gas Law All of these relationships can be combined into a single law called the “Ideal Gas Law.” This law, which applies to gases whose behavior follows the assumptions of the kinetic molecular theory, relates pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of gas by the equation PV = n RT. The Ideal Gas Law can easily be reduced to Charles’, Boyle’s, or Avogadro’s Law. For example, suppose that n and T are held constant. Then the product n RT is also a constant and we can give it the name, k. The Ideal Gas Law then becomes PV=k, which is just Boyle’s Law. The symbol “R” in this equation is a constant called “the gas constant” and its value can be computed by measuring the temperature, volume, and pressure of a known quantity of an ideal gas and substituting these values into the Ideal Gas Law solved for R. In fact, this is the bases of the laboratory exercise for this lesson."

Conduction takes place in all phases of matter, including solids, liquids, gases and waves. The rate at which energy is conducted as heat between two bodies is a function of the temperature difference ( temperature gradient) between the two bodies and the properties of the conductive medium through which the heat is transferred. Thermal conduction was originally called diffusion. Conduction: transfer of heat via direct contact. Heat spontaneously flows from a hotter to a colder body. For example, heat is conducted from the hotplate of an electric stove to the bottom of a saucepan in contact with it.

It can be verified experimentally using a pressure gauge and a variable volume container. It can also be derived from the kinetic theory of gases: if a container, with a fixed number of molecules inside, is reduced in volume, more molecules will strike a given area of the sides of the container per unit time, causing a greater pressure."

Dry air contains roughly (by volume):78.08% nitrogen20.95% oxygen0.93% argon0.038% carbon dioxide All the above are relatively small, light, non-polar molecules, characteristics mimicking an ideal gas. At normal ambient conditions such as standard temperature and pressure, most real gases behave qualitatively like an ideal gas. Generally, deviation from an ideal gas tends to decrease with higher temperature and lower density, as the work performed by intermolecular forces becomes less significant compared with the particles' kinetic energy, and the size of the molecules becomes less significant compared to the empty space between them. The ideal gas model tends to fail at lower temperatures or higher pressures, when intermolecular forces and molecular size become important. At some point of low temperature and high pressure, real gases undergo a phase transition, such as to a liquid or a solid. The model of an ideal gas, however, does not describe or allow phase transitions. These must be modeled by more complex equations of state.2 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

According to Soviet veterans, the silence that followed the fighting was literally deafening. Less than four years after his attack on the Soviet Union, Hitler's self-proclaimed thousand-year Reich had ceased to exist. The German Führer himself was dead. Europe would never be the same again. Despite years of Cold War tension, the continent would remain free of war for decades to come, unprecedented in European history. Crucially, by the time that Germany re-emerged as a single and united nation in 1990, the megalomania that had brought death and destruction to the continent in the first half of the century had been well and truly purged. But the human cost of the battle for Berlin had been enormous."

Elliott The Berlin Wall and the Iron Curtain seemed to be permanent fixtures of the political landscape of Europe after 1961. But to everyone’s surprise, the Berlin Wall opened on November 9, 1989. This stunning event triggered a chain reaction throughout Eastern Europe, accelerating a process that had begun a decade earlier. Using a little poetic license, one could claim that what took ten years in Poland took ten months in Hungary, ten weeks in East Germany, ten days in Czechoslovakia, and ten hours in Romania. A peaceful revolution of unprecedented magnitude rippled across the continent throughout 1989 in a political, moral, and spiritual earthquake that changed the course of history. The rest of the Soviet Union would tumble two years later in the aftershocks. Nearly 400 million people were freed and scarcely a shot was fired. But why? As it turns out, I was an eyewitness to much of this chapter of history."

"text": "\"The Berlin Wall Duncan Rhodes5 min read 729 comments Construction began on The Berlin Wall early in the morning of Sunday, August 13, 1961. It was a desperate - and effective - move by the GDR (German Democratic Republic) to stop East Berliners escaping from the Soviet-controlled East German state into the West of the city, which was then occupied by the Americans, British and French. Berlin's unique situation as a city half-controlled by Western forces, in the middle of the Soviet Occupation Zone of Germany, made it a focal point for tensions between the Allies and the Soviets and a place where conflicting ideologies were enforced side-by-side. However, as more and more people in the Soviet-controlled East grew disillusioned with communism and the increasingly oppressive economic and political conditions, an increasing number began defecting to the West. By 1961 an estimated 1,500 people a day were fleeing to the West, damaging both the credibility and - more importantly - the workforce of the GDR. Soon rumours began to spread about a wall, and it wasn't long after that those rumours were made a concrete reality. In a masterfully-planned operation, spanning just 24 hours, the streets of Berlin were torn up, barricades of paving stones were erected, tanks were gathered at crucial places and subways and local railway services were interrupted, so that within a day the West of Berlin was completely sealed off from the East. As of that same day inhabitants of East Berlin and the GDR were no longer allowed to enter the West of the city (including the 60,000 who had been commuters). In response to international criticism that such drastic measures inevitably drew, the GDR claimed that the barricade had been raised as an 'anti-fascist protection wall', and that they had moved to prevent a third world war. The version of the 'Wall' that started life in 1961, was in fact not a wall but a 96 miles barbed wire fence."

Print Cite For nearly 30 years the Berlin Wall stood as a concrete manifestation of the Iron Curtain, preventing citizens in communist East Germany from fleeing to democratic, capitalist West Berlin. On the night of November 9, 1989, however, East German authorities suddenly opened the border crossing, and thousands of jubilant Germans celebrated by dancing on top of the wall and chipping away at it with hammers and chisels. On the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, learn 10 surprising facts about the iconic Cold War symbol.1. The fall of the Berlin Wall happened by mistake. At a press conference on the evening of November 9, 1989, East German politburo member Günter Schabowski prematurely announced that restrictions on travel visas would be lifted. When asked when the new policy would begin, he said, “Immediately, without delay.” In actuality, the policy was to be announced the following day and would still have required East Germans to go through a lengthy visa application process. Schabowski’s confused answers and erroneous media reports that border crossings had opened spurred thousands of East Berliners to the Berlin Wall. At the Bornholmer Street checkpoint, Harald Jäger, the chief officer on duty, faced a mob growing in size and frustration."

The Berlin border crossings were border crossings created as a result of the post- World War II division of Germany. Prior to the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961, travel between the Eastern and Western sectors of Berlin was completely uncontrolled, although restrictions were increasingly introduced by the Soviet and East German authorities at major crossings between the sectors. This free access, especially after the closure of the Inner German border, allowed the Eastern Bloc emigration and defection to occur. East German officials, humiliated by this mass defection, subsequently chose to erect the Berlin Wall in order to prevent residents from leaving East Germany. After the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961, border stations between East Berlin (regarded as East Germany's capital by the German Democratic Republic but unrecognized by the Western Allies) and the sectors controlled by those three Western Allies were created. Although there were few crossings at first, more sites were built over the wall's lifespan. Many East Germans crossed the wall illegally by climbing over it, sailing around it, or digging under it, while many others died while attempting to cross.

After World War II, emigration restrictions were imposed by countries in the Eastern Bloc, which consisted of the Soviet Union and its satellite states in Central and Eastern Europe. Legal emigration was in most cases only possible in order to reunite families or to allow members of minority ethnic groups to return to their homelands. Eastern Bloc governments argued that strict limits to emigration were necessary to prevent a brain drain. The United States and Western European governments argued that they represented a violation of human rights. Despite the restrictions, defections to the West occurred. After East Germany tightened its zonal occupation border with West Germany, the city sector border between East Berlin and West Berlin became a loophole through which defection could occur. This was closed with the erection of the Berlin Wall in 1961.

By Stav Ziv On 11/11/14 at 11:13 AMA piece of the Berlin Wall, which has been on display at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum since 1990, is seen in Simi Valley, California, on September 16, 2014. Lucy Nicholson/Reuters Share World Germany Cold War Berlin Wall Sunday, November 9, was the 25th anniversary of the “fall” of the Berlin Wall, marking the beginning of the end of a divided Germany. Less than a year later, the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic, better known as West and East Germany, respectively, would sign the Unification Treaty that joined the two together again. The wall was a more complicated barrier than its name implied, with guards, fences and open areas full of land mines—as much a psychological divide as it was a physical one. At 96 miles long, with an average height of 11.8 feet, according to the Cold War Museum, the wall did not come down in one fell swoop. Nor did it just disappear, or get moved to a single museum, or end up preserved as one monument. Pieces of the wall can be seen today not only in Berlin but all around the world. “The wall was such an ugly scar in the city of Berlin,” Konrad Jarausch, a history professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, tells Newsweek. It turned West Berlin into “an island in a Communist sea,” he says, and there was a lot of pressure on Germany to get rid of it."

But why did Gorbachev abandon the Brezhnev Doctrine? One Western leader above all others forced the Soviets to give up the Brezhnev Doctrine and abandon the arms race, brought down the Berlin Wall, and ended the Cold War at the bargaining table and not on the battlefield: President Ronald Reagan. Soviet Communism, the dark tyranny that controlled nearly 40 nations and was responsible for the deaths of an estimated 100 million victims during the 20th century, suddenly collapsed 20 years ago without a shot being fired. In just two years--from 1989 to 1901--the Berlin Wall fell, the Soviet Union disintegrated, and Marxism- Leninism was dumped unceremoniously on the ash heap of history. There was dancing in the street and champagne toasts on top of the Brandenburg Gate. And then most of the world got on with living without asking: Why did Communism collapse so quickly? Why did a totalitarian system that appeared to be so militarily and economically strong disappear almost overnight?"

But as Communism in the Soviet Republic and Eastern Europe began to crumble, pressure mounted on the East German authorities to open the Berlin border. The Wall was finally breached by jubilant Berliners on 9 November 1989, unifying a city that had been divided for over 30 years. Some of you were in Berlin the night The Wall came down and sent your stories: I was in Berlin on 9 November 1989. I was a US Army intelligence officer working for Allied Forces. We heard on the TV that some border points had opened and I left my wife and young daughter to see what was going on at Check Point Charlie. Arriving at the checkpoint there was a large crowd on the Western side. Climbing a fence I could see large numbers of people on the Eastern side. At about that time there was an announcement that East Germans would be allowed to visit the West but would require a stamp which would be issued the following morning. The feeling in the air was electric, as if some great force had been let loose Joseph, Portugal Thinking that the East Germans would obey this order, I went home, also feeling a bit guilty for having left my wife home alone with the baby."

"text": "\"NEXTThe decibel (abbreviated d B) is the unit used to measure the intensity of a sound. The decibel scale is a little odd because the human ear is incredibly sensitive. Your ears can hear everything from your fingertip brushing lightly over your skin to a loud jet engine. In terms of power, the sound of the jet engine is about 1,000,000,000,000 times more powerful than the smallest audible sound. That's a big difference!On the decibel scale, the smallest audible sound (near total silence) is 0 d B. A sound 10 times more powerful is 10 d B. A sound 100 times more powerful than near total silence is 20 d B. A sound 1,000 times more powerful than near total silence is 30 d B. Here are some common sounds and their decibel ratings: Near total silence - 0 d BA whisper - 15 d BNormal conversation - 60 d BA lawnmower - 90 d BA car horn - 110 d BA rock concert or a jet engine - 120 d BA gunshot or firecracker - 140 d BYou know from your own experience that distance affects the intensity of sound -- if you are far away, the power is greatly diminished. All of the ratings above are taken while standing near the sound. Any sound above 85 d B can cause hearing loss, and the loss is related both to the power of the sound as well as the length of exposure. You know that you are listening to an 85-d B sound if you have to raise your voice to be heard by somebody else. Eight hours of 90-d B sound can cause damage to your ears; any exposure to 140-d B sound causes immediate damage (and causes actual pain). See this page for an exposure \"\"ruler. \"\""

Someone whose day includes a workout at a noisy gym while listening to music on an MP3 player, lunch at a clamorous restaurant, a subway ride, a few hours of mechanized yard work, and a night out with friends at a dance club can easily end up with a dose of noise exposure that over time can be damaging. That is more than just a theoretical concern. About 30 million Americans have hearing loss. Studies show that roughly 15 percent of American teenagers are showing early signs of that condition, at an age when their hearing should be almost perfect. \"\" We are prematurely aging our ears,\"\" says Brian Fligor, Sc.

Hearing Loss Definition Hearing loss is any degree of impairment of the ability to apprehend sound. Description Sound can be measured accurately. The term decibel (d B) refers to an amount of energy movingsound from its source to our ears or to a microphone. A drop of more than 10 d B in the level of sound a person can hear is significant. Sound travels through a medium like air or water as waves of compression and rarefaction. Thesewaves are collected by the external ear and cause the tympanic membrane (ear drum) to vibrate. The chain of ossicles connected to the ear drum—the incus, malleus, and stapes—carries thevibration to the oval window, increasing its amplitude 20 times on the way.

This feeling may originate from situations where you have to ask for sentences to be repeated or when other people complain that the television is too loud while you regard it as comfortable. Making a serious mistake, family pressure, or safety concerns are also reasons people often cite for seeking a hearing solution. If you suspect a hearing loss contact a hearing care professional as soon as possible. A hearing care professional determines with the help of a hearing test whether or not a hearing loss is present. If no hearing loss is present, you won't need any further help. In the case where a hearing loss is present, the kind and degree of your hearing loss is determined individually for each ear and entered in an audiogram. How to Read Your Hearing Test Hearing is graphed on an audiogram, a graph of the softest sounds you can hear. The graph is laid out like a piano keyboard, with low to high frequencies (low to high pitches) going from left to right, ... and the graph is laid out from soft sounds on the top to loud sounds on the bottom. So once your graph is filled in (x represents the left ear, o the right), ... it shows your hearing sensitivity for different frequencies at different intensities (at different pitches and different volumes)."

Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL), commonly known as sudden deafness, occurs as an unexplained, rapid loss of hearing—usually in one ear—either at once or over several days. It should be considered a medical emergency. Anyone who experiences SSHL should visit a doctor immediately. Sometimes, people with SSHL put off seeing a doctor because they think their hearing loss is due to allergies, a sinus infection, earwax plugging the ear canal, or other common conditions. However, delaying SHHL diagnosis and treatment may decrease the effectiveness of treatment. Nine out of ten people with SSHL lose hearing in only one ear. SSHL is diagnosed by conducting a hearing test. If the test shows a loss of at least 30 decibels (decibels are a measure of sound) in three connected frequencies (frequency is a measure of pitch—high to low), the hearing loss is diagnosed as SSHL. As an example, a hearing loss of 30 decibels would make conversational speech sound more like a whisper."

"text": "What are ear defenders and why are they needed? Ear defenders or ear muffs are PPE (personal protective equipment) designed to protect the wearer from extreme noises. The head-band and outer covering is usually made from a hard thermoplastic or metal. The protection usually comes from acoustic foam – this absorbs sound waves by increasing air resistance, thus reducing the amplitude of the waves. Ear defenders can be carried on a head-band or clipped onto the sides of a hard hat. Sometimes ear defenders have built in radio and music systems or two-way communications. The process of losing sound energy, known as attenuation, can be heightened by using earplugs in conjunction with earmuffs. There are also thermal earmuffs, worn in cold environments to keep a person’s ears warm with pads of cloth or fur; however this guide will focus on ear defenders used to protect the wearer from noise hazards in the workplace. Understanding hearing protection in the workplace By law an employer must assess and identify measures to eliminate or reduce risks from exposure to noise so that employees’ hearing is protected. The protection chosen should reflect the level of risk."

Amplitude is the sound wave's peak pressure variation. Frequency is the number of cycles per second of a sinusoidal component of a sound wave.

Normally, these sounds are at safe levels that don’t damage our hearing. But sounds can be harmful when they are too loud, even for a brief time, or when they are both loud and long-lasting. These sounds can damage sensitive structures in the inner ear and cause noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). NIHL can be immediate or it can take a long time to be noticeable. It can be temporary or permanent, and it can affect one ear or both ears. Even if you can’t tell that you are damaging your hearing, you could have trouble hearing in the future, such as not being able to understand other people when they talk, especially on the phone or in a noisy room. Regardless of how it might affect you, one thing is certain: noise-induced hearing loss is something you can prevent. Who is affected by NIHL?"

Age-related hearing loss is the most common cause of this condition and is more prevalent than hearing loss caused by excessive noise exposure. However, exposure to excessive noise can damage hearing, and it is important to understand the effects of this kind of noise, particularly because such exposure is avoidable. What causes hearing loss? The ear has three main parts: the outer, middle, and inner ear. The outer ear (the part you can see) opens into the ear canal. The eardrum separates the ear canal from the middle ear. Small bones in the middle ear help transfer sound vibrations to the inner ear. Here, the vibrations become nerve impulses, which the brain interprets as music, a slamming door, a voice, and so on. When noise is too loud, it begins to kill the nerve endings in the inner ear."

So, you need to be careful when around really loud noises. However, longer term exposure to not as loud noises can also cause major damage to your hearing. Your MP3 might be awesome, but it also might be damaging your ears. Sound is measured in decibels, or d B. Anything that is louder than 85 d B can cause hearing loss. Believe it or not, the amount of time you are exposed to high decibels of sound is just as important as the rate of decibels."

Refer to the TOD Transition Protocols. An application for entitlement for a hearing loss should properly be submitted as \"\"hearing loss\"\" regardless of the type (s) of loss. Please note: Entitlement should be granted for a chronic condition only. For VAC purposes, \"\"chronic\"\" means that the condition has existed for at least 6 months. Signs and symptoms are generally expected to persist despite medical attention, although they may wax and wane over the 6-month period and thereafter. Definition There are two general types of hearing loss: sensorineural (sometimes called perceptive) and conductive hearing loss. Sensorineural hearing loss is hearing loss due to a defect in the cochlea or the auditory nerve whereby nerve impulses from the cochlea to the brain are attenuated. Conductive hearing loss means the partial or complete loss of hearing due to defective sound conduction of the external auditory canal or of the middle ear."

The National Institute of Health reports that about 15 percent of Americans aged 20 to 69 have high frequency hearing loss related to occupational or leisure activities.

Confused about pork tenderloin temperature... Roanokesmoke Posts: 29December 2008 edited 2:35PM in Egg Head Forum I'm looking at doing some pork tenderloins tonight (low and slow), and I'm confused about what temperature I should cook them to. The USDA recommends cooking pork to a minimum of 160 degrees, and some suggest a minimum of 170 for pork tenderloins. However, after doing a search here, it seems most of you suggest only cooking pork tenderloins to about 140-150 or so, as anything over that will try it out. Is it safe to eat pork tenderloin at, say, 150, or am I taking a chance of getting sick? Thanks."

Frustrating isn't it, when your glaze burns and your meat isn't cooked through at the time the recipe said? Or, worse, done it in reverse and cooked a pork tenderloin to death in a roasting pan. I didn't know there was a difference for quite a while either. However, the last year or so Kroger (where I normally shop) has been running sales every 3-4 months on pork. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to get it as low as $1.99 a pound. When the pork goes on sale, I stock up on several 3-5 pound pork loins and several pork tenderloins that weigh in around a little over a pound. For the pork loins, I ask the butcher to cut half my selection as chops and the rest as 2 pound roasts. An average weight for tenderloins is 1-2 pounds. If you find them much over 2 pounds, there are generally two pork tenderloins in the package."

"text": "\"By Meg Galvin , Spark People Blogger 6/21/2011 My culinary training is rooted in the classics of French cooking. The recipes, mother sauces, and techniques have been the same for generations--even centuries, in some cases. But plenty of things change in the kitchen all the time: ingredients, tools, and recently, even safe cooking temperatures. In the classroom, at restaurants, and in public settings, chefs will follow the rules of food safety, but sometimes that can be at odds with taste, which takes center stage. That's why you see those warnings at the bottom of menus: \"\"WARNING: Consuming raw or undercooked meat, poultry, seafood, shellfish and eggs may increase your risk of food borne illness, especially if you have a medical condition.\"\" Over-easy eggs, rare steak and oysters on the half shell sure are tasty, but there is a chance that they can make you ill, so we chefs have to warn you of that. For years, chefs (including myself) have recommended serving pork that was still a little pink for the best taste. ( And the U. S. FDA, which regulates restaurants, has allowed a lower cooking temperature for pork and other meats.) However, the USDA, the government agency that sets food safety guidelines, recommended cooking the pork until it was 160 degrees Fahrenheit inside, which meant a well-done (and bone-dry) piece of pork. The good news is that the USDA recently changed the rules: Pork lowered the recommended temperature by 15 degrees!"

I love finding new ways to prepare it that my whole family enjoys and am really excited about sharing this recipe with you guys for my BBQ Pork Tenderloin recipe. So simple to prepare, this pork tenderloin recipe is definitely one we make time and time again and one that disappears quickly. The secret is really in the pork tenderloin marinade that I use. The marinade recipe works great as a sauce as well as a marinade, so I always like to make a bit extra for serving with the pork tenderloin once it has cooked. The base of the marinade is your favorite BBQ sauce. I like to use a sweet and tangy flavored bbq sauce, either my Mama’s Coca Cola BBQ Sauce recipe or another bottled one for convenience. If I use bottled, I usually use the Sticky Fingers with the green top. Then, I add a few other ingredients that seem sort of weird for a marinade or sauce recipe, but that really, really work well together. Things like grape jelly, garlic, and sriracha sauce."

Full Answer Pork tenderloin is one of the most versatile cuts available for grilling. It has a sophisticated enough reputation for a dressy dinner party, but it also works well on a weekend barbecue by the pool. The flavor allows it to replace fish or chicken, while the texture is hearty enough to stand in for red meat as well. Heating the gas grill to high and allowing the grill to stand for 8 to 10 minutes gives the grill enough heat to sear the tenderloin before the pork gets the opportunity to lose its moisture."

Pork tenderloin is very easy to make, delicious, and great served with just about any kind of side dish your family enjoys. This Perfect Pork Tenderloin method has been a favorite of ours for a long time – in fact, anytime we make this recipe, Jack and I have a good chuckle with each other! Here’s our story: Years ago, Jack and I lived in small apartment while we saved up money for our house down payment. The kitchen was the size of a closet with poor ventilation and super-sensitive smoke detectors. One night, I was making this recipe for dinner and – as usual – I set off the smoke detector in the apartment while I seared the pork tenderloin! To clear the kitchen of smoke, I opened the door to the hallway that led out to the other apartments – and promptly set off the smoke detectors in the ENTIRE apartment complex!Needless to say – I was super embarrassed when we evacuated outside (along with dozens of other apartment dwellers), and I had to tell the fire department that it was just me cooking dinner and I set off the alarm! Fast forward to today – and we’re showing you the proper method to make perfect pork tenderloin without involving your local fire department! One final note: There is nothing worse than over-cooked, dry pork tenderloin! But many people still cook pork until it is no longer pink on the inside because in the past, people were concerned about getting trichinosis by eating pork from pigs that were given food scraps to eat."

"text": "Resist the temptation to leave that frozen pork tenderloin on the counter overnight to thaw. Harmful, food poisoning-inducing bacteria grow rapidly at temperatures above 40 degrees Fahrenheit, and some can double within a 20-minute window of time. To preserve flavor and keep your family and yourself safe, always follow safe food handling guidelines and only thaw frozen meat using a safe method. Options range from thawing that tenderloin in the refrigerator to cooking it while it's still frozen. Refrigerator Method According to the National Pork Board, the optimal method for defrosting pork is to place the frozen meat in the refrigerator with its wrapping intact. To avoid leakage, or having condensation create a mess in the fridge, place the meat on a clean plate to catch any liquids. Small roasts can take up to 3 to 7 hours per pound. Thawing time is directly affected by the temperature of the refrigerator -- the colder the fridge, the longer the meat takes to thaw. Microwave Method When you're short on time and need to thaw the pork out quickly, thawing it in the microwave can be an ideal option -- it typically only takes 5 to 10 minutes. However, the U. S. Department of Agriculture cautions that this method should only be used when the meat will be cooked immediately in order to avoid potential bacterial growth."

While the oven is preheating, gather your ingredients. Tip If you don't have a cast iron pan, you may use a glass or ceramic baking dish. That said, I highly recommend investing in a cast iron pan as they are incredibly useful in so many recipes!Step 2: Season the Pork Remove the pork from its wrapping and pat dry with a paper towel.

Go by internal temperature. You want pork to be at 145F at the central part. Depending on the size of the pig, the oven, the pan, and the starting temp, this can vary wildly. I eat my pork mid rare 135F, but I know my farmer. I would recommend setting your oven at 225F, letting your pork come to room temp first, and cooking to 140F internal or if you don't have a thermometer... for 30 minutes or so and giving it a good poke, you'll feel it firm up when it's done..

"text": "Smoked Pork Tenderloin — The 2nd Best Meat You Can Smoke January 25, 2011 by Jeff Greene 28 Comments Share this: Email In my continuing crusade to make you all buy smokers, I’ve recently written a general primer about smoking meat, blogged about smoked salmon (which I maintain is the easiest and best meat to smoke for a beginner) and smoked turkey (which is one of the harder meats to smoke right, surpassed only, in my experience, by beef brisket and pulled pork, which I haven’t blogged yet). But second only to salmon for the winning combination of ease and tastiness is probably pork loin. To be clear, I’m not talking about the big, fat pork loin roast, but rather the longer and skinnier pork loin (frequently sold two at a time in a vacuum pack). Preparation is remarkably easy. Some people always cut off the “silver membrane”, and some don’t. I usually make an effort to get it off, but don’t kill myself trying. Really you can use any dry bbq rub, whether a spicy chili powder-based rub, or a sweeter rub with brown sugar in it. I’d let that sit anywhere between 3 hours and overnight to adhere nicely to the meat, and then put on a bbq sauce about a half hour before you take it off the smoker (I used to always put it on in the beginning, as seen in the pics below, but now I do it near the end instead)–once again going spicy or sweet, depending on how you rubbed it. You can even go just with the rub or marinade or just the sauce without going too wrong. I would think that some of the fruit glazes might conflict with the smoke, but you can choose what you want based on your own tastes."

Here's our best method for making tender, juicy pork tenderloin that tastes so good it may just earn a spot in your weekly meal rotation. Watch the Video! ( Image credit: Faith Durand)What Is the Tenderloin? As Christine explains in her guide to buying pork chops, the tenderloin comes from the loin of the pig, which runs from the hip to the shoulder. The tenderloin itself is sometimes also called a pork \"\"fillet,\"\" and it is one of the tenderest cuts of meat on the animal, since it is not a muscle that receives much if any exercise. This means that the tenderloin is usually a little more expensive than cuts of meat that need longer cooking, like the loin proper or pork butt (shoulder). It also means that it can be cooked quickly and easily, with no brining or braising needed."

Updating this recipe to reflect my new recommendation for doneness temperature. I prefer to remove the meat from the grill once the internal temperature at the middle of the pork tenderloin hits 140 degrees. Drape a sheet of aluminum foil over to let rest for about 10 minutes and you should have close to a perfect 145 degrees once you start carving the meat. Pork, the other white meat. That's a slogan we all have heard a million times on commercials. I'll tell you what though, in my eyes a perfectly grilled pork tenderloin is the ONLY white meat I need. In reality, I love most cuts of pork. I love to get messy with some grilled baby back ribs, love to get sauce all over my shirt while eating a pulled pork sandwich and it's hard to beat a simple grilled pork chop . So I guess you can say I am big on the pig, but to me the pork tenderloin offers the most potential."

"text": "\"You are Here: Home Page > Children's Camps > Minimum Water Depths for Head First Diving From Pool Decks, Starting Blocks, Docks and Similar Low Fixed Platforms Minimum Water Depths for Head First Diving From Pool Decks, Starting Blocks, Docks and Similar Low Fixed Platforms Introduction: The primary objective of Part 6 of the New York State Sanitary Code is to assure that public bathing facilities are operated in a safe and sanitary manner. To accomplish the safety objective, the code specifies minimum water depths for head first diving from pool decks and minimum depths for new installations of starting blocks. This fact sheet reviews current research, studies and includes some of their recommendations regarding diving from low fixed platforms, such as pool decks, starting blocks and docks in order to prevent the potential for serious injury. Mechanism of Injury: Spinal cord injuries occur when the diver strikes his/her head on an object such as a pool or lake bottom or a submerged object. Most serious injuries involve the cervical spine (neck) in the C-5 region and are classified as compression or flexion-compression injuries. A diver's extended hands and arms provide the only source of protection to the head. Should the arms collapse upon impact or not be in a forward position, the head is vulnerable. Minimal force is needed to cause spinal injury especially when the neck is not in a neutral position. Most diving injuries occur with the neck in the flexed (chin toward chest) position. The diver's weight, underwater velocity and angle of impact are major determining factors on whether impact will result in injury."

It can be provoked by hyperventilating just before a dive, or as a consequence of the pressure reduction on ascent, or a combination of these. Victims are often established practitioners of breath-hold diving, are fit, strong swimmers and have not experienced problems before. [ 2] [3] [4] Blackout may also be referred to as a syncope or fainting. Divers and swimmers who blackout or grey out underwater during a dive will usually drown unless rescued and resuscitated within a short time. [ 5] Freediving blackout has a high fatality rate, and mostly involves males younger than 40 years, but is generally avoidable. Risk cannot be quantified, but is clearly increased by any level of hyperventilation. [ 6]Freediving blackout can occur on any dive profile: at constant depth, on an ascent from depth, or at the surface following ascent from depth and may be described by a number of terms depending on the dive profile and depth at which consciousness is lost. Blackout during a shallow dive differs from blackout during ascent from a deep dive in that deep water blackout is precipitated by depressurisation on ascent from depth while shallow water blackout is a consequence of hypocapnia following hyperventilation.

"text": "\"Answer by William Thackrey Confidence votes 806The Short Answer - 130 Feet Divers who dive for sport are certified by the recreational training agencies (PADI, NAUI, SSI, BSAC, etc) to depths as deep as 130 feet. Most recreational diving takes place above 100 feet and many regional dive operator organizations, including the Cayman Islands Watersports Association, officially limit dives to 100 feet. In fact, the vast majority recreational dives occur in the relatively shallow depths of 60 feet or less, since most coral and sea life exists above those depths. The Longer Answer - Pretty Darned Deep Scuba diving, however, is not limited to recreational diving. Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus (SCUBA) allows technical and commercial diving to depths well in excess of 130 feet. Humans reach a physiological limit of about 210 feet using normal air as a breathing gas. Below this depth, the oxygen in air reaches partial pressures that become toxic. For this reason, deeper dives are accomplished using mixed breathing gases that contain reduced percentages of oxygen. Deeper depths also increase the risk of decompression illness (also called the \"\"bends\"\"), caused by inert gases (primarily nitrogen) being absorbed by body tissues during prolonged exposure at elevated pressures. Ascending divers require \"\"decompression stops\"\" during ascent to allow time for these absorbed gases to escape from body tissues."

Share Flipboard Email Print (Getty Images)by Natalie Gibb Updated July 17, 2017One of the fantastic consequences of enrolling in a recreational scuba diving course is being able to learn some basic physics concepts and apply them to the underwater environment. Boyle's law is one of these concepts. Boyle's Law explains how the volume of a gas varies with the surrounding pressure. Many aspects of scuba diving physics and dive theory become clear once you understand this simple gas law. Boyle's Law is PV = c In this equation, “P” represents pressure, “V” signifies volume and “c” represents a constant (fixed) number. If you are not a math person, this may sound really confusing—don't despair! This equation simply states that for a given gas (such as air in a scuba diver's BCD), if you multiply the pressure surrounding a gas by the volume of gas you will always end up with the same number. Because the answer to the equation can not change (that's why it is called a constant ), we know that if we increase the pressure surrounding a gas (P), the volume of the gas (V) must get smaller. Conversely, if we decrease the pressure surrounding a gas, the volume of the gas will become greater."

"text": "Scuba Diving And Health: Decompression Sicknessby Torben Lonne| 1 comment- Anna segeren What is Decompression Sickness and What Causes It? Decompression Sickness (DCS) is a condition in which rapid changes of pressure in an environment causes gases to form bubbles of gas, mainly nitrogen. In diving, when the diver descends, nitrogen is breathed in and is dissolved in the blood and tissues. Subsequently, nitrogen leaves the blood and tissues and forms into tiny bubbles when the diver ascends due to the drop in the surrounding pressure. If the nitrogen is not re-absorbed into the blood and exhaled through the lungs, these tiny bubbles can form into larger bubbles and cause serious damage to your body. Read more about the effects of nitrogen here. A variety of DCS symptoms may then arise when these bubbles become large in number and block the flow of blood. Things such as diver-related errors, misuse of dive tables, malfunctioning dive computers or inaccurate depth gauges, are also contributory factors leading to DCS. What Are The Instances In Which DCS Might Commonly Occur? There are three instances in which decompression sickness may occur: Divers who ascend too rapidly from a dive,Long-lasting or multiple dives,Divers who set off too early from low altitude (surface) to high altitude (mountain or air)."

"text": "\"WHY DIVERS DIEINTRODUCTIONExperience of life suggests that anything which is fun tends to be either illegal, immoral, fattening, or dangerous. Recreational diving partly conforms to this universal law, ranking below hang gliding and parachuting but above most sports as regards the risk of a fatal accident. Diving statistics from the USA, UK, Canada and Japans all show diving death rates of 15-30 per 100,000 divers per year, with the statistical chance of a fatality being about 2-3 per 100,000 dives. These figures tend to contradict the misinformation issuing from some sections of the diving industry (fatalities of < 4 per 100,000 divers) which would have us believe that diving is a very safe recreation. It is not, but then we accept risks every day. Even driving an automobile to a dive site carries an appreciable (but much less) risk of death - a possibility which we generally regard with equanimity. This chapter will show that many diving deaths should be preventable and that a diver ought to be able to minimise his chances of becoming a statistic by understanding and influencing the factors which are now known to be associated with diving deaths. STATISTICAL EVIDENCEThe information presented here is mainly based on data gathered by valuable studies involving recreational diving fatalities. They have been conducted in different countries, but show strikingly similar results. The USA recreational diving deaths, originally compiled by John Mc Aniff of the University of Rhode Island and then NUADC, are now collected and reported on by DAN, which recently analysed 947 open circuit scuba divers."

Scuba divers and snorkelers usually dive to observe aquatic life and calmly enjoy the aquatic environment. Freedivers, on the other hand, typically attempt to achieve a depth or dive time.

From a purely personal view point, as you progress through your training you should keep a close eye on your air consumption, weighting, and use of equipment. Seeing how you improve and react to different diving conditions and events will help you become an efficient, and safe diver. Only if you log these down will you remember them. Additionally, in your early days, when you go on holiday you should expect to take your log book and certification cards to prove your competence to go diving. A dive center will want to see proof that you can handle advanced diving conditions before they take you onto a fast current drift dive!As divers progress, the log book changes from a fact based learning log (how much weight did I use when I was in my 3mm shorty etc.) to more of a journal. It's true that a number of very competent and experienced divers do not keep a log, but a great number of divers still do, and now they are using it to help them remember the great dives from the last holiday. When you spend all that money and time (24 hours underwater in a typical 2 week diving holiday), it can be great to be able to open your log book and jog your memory of the experience."

For some recreational diving agencies, Deep diving, or Deep diver may be a certification awarded to divers that have been trained to dive to a specified depth range, generally deeper than 30 metres (98 ft). However, the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) defines anything from 18 metres (60 ft) to 30 metres (100 ft) as a \"\"deep dive\"\" in the context of recreational diving (other diving organisations vary), and considers deep diving a form of technical diving.

Scuba diving is a mode of underwater diving where the diver uses a self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (scuba) which is completely independent of surface supply, to breathe underwater. [ 1] Scuba divers carry their own source of breathing gas, usually compressed air, [2] allowing them greater independence and freedom of movement than surface-supplied divers, and longer underwater endurance than breath-hold divers. [ 1] Open circuit scuba systems discharge the breathing gas into the environment as it is exhaled, and consist of one or more diving cylinders containing breathing gas at high pressure which is supplied to the diver through a regulator. They may include additional cylinders for range extension, decompression gas or emergency breathing gas. [ 3] Closed-circuit or semi-closed circuit rebreather scuba systems allow recycling of exhaled gases. The volume of gas used is reduced compared to that of open circuit, so a smaller cylinder or cylinders may be used for an equivalent dive duration. Rebreathers extend the time spent underwater compared to open circuit for the same gas consumption; they produce fewer bubbles and less noise than open circuit scuba which makes them attractive to covert military divers to avoid detection, scientific divers to avoid disturbing marine animals, and media divers to avoid bubble interference. [ 1]Scuba diving may be done recreationally or professionally in a number of applications, including scientific, military and public safety roles, but most commercial diving uses surface-supplied diving equipment when this is practicable."

The design must ensure that the propeller cannot harm the diver, diving equipment or marine life, the vehicle cannot be accidentally started or run away from the diver, and it remains neutrally buoyant while in use underwater. Application [ edit]DPVs are useful for extending the range of an autonomous diver that is otherwise restricted by the amount of breathing gas that can be carried, the rate at which that breathing gas is consumed, which is increased by exertion, diver fatigue, and the time limits imposed by decompression obligation, which depend on the dive profile. [ 1] Typical uses include cave diving and technical diving where the vehicles help move bulky equipment and make better use of the limited underwater time imposed by the decompression requirements of deep diving.

"text": "\"Deep Stops By Petar Denoble Our panel of researchers debates the issue of deep stops and recreational diving. Throughout history, the key concern for divers has been how to get back to the surface without suffering decompression sickness (DCS). The British scientist J. S. Haldane combined empirical data with scientific studies to develop step-by-step decompression procedures that, along with the accumulated experience and work of many scientists, led to the development of modern decompression tables and computer algorithms. Decompression sickness still occurs in recreational divers, but at a rate of 1 to 4 per 10,000 dives; these cases of DCS are often mild and treatable. However, the possibility of severe injury — though rare — makes divers eager to hear about any measure that might further reduce the risk. One possibility is the deep stop. In the mid-1990s, Richard Pyle, a biomarine scientist who frequently made dives to great depths in search of fish species, noticed that sometimes he felt fatigued after dives, and at other times he felt normal. An excellent observer and trained scientist, he figured out that on dives when he had to stop during his ascent to deflate the swim bladders of his specimens, he felt much better. Soon he introduced a brief stop halfway to the surface on all his dives and formed the strong opinion that this significantly reduced his post-dive fatigue. He shared his experience with fellow divers, and the practice of deep stops became widespread among technical divers before it could be scientifically tested."

When you breathe from a scuba tank, the air coming out of the tank actually has the same pressure as the pressure that the water is exerting. It has to, or it won't come out of the tank. Therefore, when SCUBA diving, the air in your lungs at a 33-foot depth has twice the pressure of air on land. At 66 feet, it has three times the pressure. At 99 feet, it has four times the pressure, and so on. When high-pressure gases in the air come in contact with water, they dissolve into the water. This is how carbonated beverages are made. To make carbonated water, water is exposed to high-pressure carbon dioxide gas, and the gas dissolves into the water."

With DD1 we helped her learn to sit unassisted before she could crawl and then once she could crawl she learnt to go from all-4's to sitting by herself. She didn't actually crawl until she was 11 months, but was always so content to sit. DD2 is now 6 mo and getting to that age where I would start to help her learn to sit unassisted. She loves to sit up in the pram and with me sitting behind her back on the floor, and she has great head control while sitting. While on her belly she has started to move around in a circle, but could still be a couple of months off crawling. I asked our optometrist what she thought and she said it was good for bubs to sit, as it helps them develop a sense of space, etc. But our chiropractor said it was best to let them crawl first so that there spine and neck develops properly before they learn to sit. So, I am in 2 minds and would love to know what others think or have been told.#2~Tera~Posted 09 July 2009 - 10:01 AMMy little boy has been able to sit unassisted since he was 5 months old."

What I tell new parents about their baby's development is this: Infants' growth once was viewed as a sort of developmental elevator. Baby went from floor to floor, stopping at each level to learn a new skill. But there's more to that story. Babies build their skills based on the environment they find on each floor. If the interaction with you or other caregivers is responsive and enriching, she gets back on the elevator with even more skills, and the ride to the next stage is much smoother. Knowing how your baby acquires new cognitive and motor skills not only teaches you about him, it's also a worthwhile reminder that every infant is a little different (and it may even help you avoid the neighborhood race to see whose baby sits or crawls or walks first). Here are the average time frames and descriptions of some of the most important first-year accomplishments.

Especially if you have completed sleep coaching your child and now things have gone off the rails, you are bound to be frustrated and discouraged if your baby begins waking again. Parents ask me all the time, “Once my child has learned how to sleep, what regressions may happen? What do we do when there is a sleep regression? How do I help my child without falling back into bad habits. ”What is a sleep regression? A sleep regression is when your baby was previously sleeping well (possibly through the night) for a long period of time and then, all of a sudden, without a known cause (such as the big sleep stealers: illness, teething, travel), their sleep suddenly goes downhill. Sleep regressions can last anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks and often coincide with cognitive or developmental milestones. Commonly sleep regressions tend to happen at 6 weeks, 3-4 months, 6 months, 8-10 months, 12 months, 18 months and 2 years old. Fear not, most children do not experience a full regression at each of these milestones."

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."

Many people (particularly pediatric therapists) vehemently oppose their existence while others (exhausted caregivers) praise their invention. I believe it’s important to take a balanced approach to these sorts of issues because, let’s face it, we humans just don’t respond well to ultimatums telling us to “never” or “always” do something. So, what’s the deal with exersaucers? THE GOOD: Exersaucers give parents and caregivers a break, and they’re fun for babies. They allow us to put our babies down in a place where they won’t roll away or get into mischief so we can take a shower, wash the dishes, change the laundry, or flop onto the couch in exhaustion. They also give babies a chance to try out new skills and sensations as they swat at toys, turn plastic pages, push buttons to activate lights and music, and rock and bounce themselves in their stationary play structure. The story goes that exersaucers were developed in the 90’s as a response to all the injuries caused by baby walkers. Walkers allowed immobile, ground-level babies to suddently become mobile and upright, which resulted in HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of babies becoming injured by doing things like falling down stairs and reaching for hot stoves…a parent’s worst nightmare! Walkers also taught babies how to “walk” by using terrible biomechanics and movement patterns, and walker use actually ended up delaying babies’ abilities to independently walk."

The American Academy of Pediatrics advocates banning baby walker, citing numerous injuries and the fact that they can delay normal infant physical milestones, like crawling and walking. Baby walkers remain very popular, however. The age at which an infant can use a baby walker varies, depending on the baby’s size, strength and development. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Purpose The purpose of the walker is to entertain a baby who can’t yet walk and increase his mobility. Some parents also think that using a walker will help their baby walk earlier, although the opposite actually appears to be true, according to Jay L. Hoecker, M. D., writing for the Mayo Clinic. Physical Requirements At the minimum, a baby must be able to hold his head up steadily and have his feet touch the floor to use a walker. Walkers are designed for use by infants between the ages of 4 and 16 months, according to Consumer Reports, and children who can already walk should not use them. The infant also has to figure out how to push with his feet to make the walker move. Risks The walkers themselves have several risks, primarily that fingers and toes can get pinched in the metal hinges that allow the walker to collapse."

Loss of tongue-thrust reflex - This allows baby to drink and swallow liquids with ease; with the tongue-thrust reflex still present, baby may simply drink in liquidy purees or push the food back out. According to Dr. Jim Sears, in the first four months the tongue thrust reflex protects the infant against choking.

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."

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."

Remember that charts of developmental milestones are general guidelines that give parents an idea of about when their children will learn new skills. There is a wide range of ages at which children will meet new milestones, whether they were born early or on time. If your preemie is now a healthy baby who had a smooth NICU course and no serious long-term effects of prematurity, he should learn to sit up according to normal developmental milestones for his corrected age: By 6 to 9 Months: By the time preemies reach 9 months corrected age, they should be able to sit up without support from pillows or a parent. By 10 to 12 Months: By 12 months corrected age, preemies should be able to play with a toy with both hands while sitting up without support. Remember to use corrected age when comparing preemies to a chart of developmental milestones. Corrected age is the age your baby would be if he was born at term.

Climbing typically begins with crawling over objects, progresses to climbing onto objects such as furniture and is fully mastered when children are able to walk down stairs unassisted using alternating feet. There are several components of motor development that contribute to a child's ability to climb. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Crawling Crawling is among the first of the motor developmental milestones children reach. Children become truly mobile when they crawl for the first time, and most children spend several months mastering skills associated with crawling such as holding up their heads, supporting their weight with their hands and focusing on an object with their eyes. Most children begin crawling between six and eight months. They typically begin by scooting on their bellies and after several weeks of practice, they are able to crawl with their stomachs off of the ground. Once children begin crawling, they begin climbing over small objects such as toys on the floor. This task is often challenging in the first few weeks of crawling. Walking Most children begin pulling up on objects and walking with the assistance of adults between nine and 12 months, according to the textbook \"\"Child Psychology.\"\""

"text": "Condensation Condensation is the process whereby water vapour in the atmosphere is returned to its original liquid state. In the atmosphere, condensation may appear as clouds, fog, mist, dew or frost, depending upon the physical conditions of the atmosphere. Condensation is not a matter of one particular temperature but of a difference between two. Condensation of water vapour occurs when the temperature of air is lowered to its dew point. All air contains water vapour of varying quantities. The lower the air temperature, the smaller the maximum possible capacity for vapour. When air is cooled, relative humidity increases, until at a particular temperature, called the dew point, the air becomes saturated. Further cooling below the dew point will induce condensation of the excess water vapour. The temperature of the dew point will depend upon the absolute content of water vapour, that is the absolute humidity, measured in g/m 3 (grams per cubic metre). The dew point of humid air will be higher than the dew point of dry air."

While fog is a type of a cloud, the term \"\"fog\"\" is typically distinguished from the more generic term \"\"cloud\"\" in that fog is low-lying, and the moisture in the fog is often generated locally (such as from a nearby body of water, like a lake or the ocean). Advection fog materializes when moist air passes over a cool surface or area, driven by wind (advection), and is cooled in the process resulting in fog Content What are the Characteristics of Fog? What are the different types of Fog? What are the examples of Advection fog? What are the Characteristics of Fog? Fog forms when the difference between ambient temperature and dew point is generally less than 2.5° C. Fog begins to form when water vapor condenses into tiny liquid water droplets in the air. The main ways water vapor is added to the air: wind convergence into areas of upward motion, daytime heating evaporating water from the surface of oceans, water bodies or wet land, transpiration from plants, cool or dry air moving over warmer water, and lifting air over mountains. Water vapor normally begins to condense on condensation nuclei such as dust, ice, and salt in order to form clouds."

We finished about 7PM and then we came out to our car we noticed that the dew had already fallen. Why was the dew-fall so early this evening? Answer: Good question. In simplest terms, \"\"dew fall\"\" occurs when the air temperature and the dewpoint temperature are equal. Remember, the dewpoint temperature is the temperature at which the air becomes saturated (relative humidity becomes 100%). Saturation is the point at which the air is holding all the water vapor that it can hold. On most days, the dewpoint does not change very much, while the air temperature may change 20-30 degrees."

The favorable weather elements for dew include clear skies, light wind, decent soil moisture, and low night-time dewpoint depressions. Dew forms when the temperature becomes equal to the dewpoint. This often happens first at ground level for two reasons. First, longwave emission causes the earth's surface to cool at night. Condensation requires the temperature to decrease to the dewpoint. Second, the soil is often the moisture source for the dew. Warm and moist soils will help with the formation of dew as the soil cools overnight. The cooling of warm and moist soil during the night will cause condensation especially on clear nights. Clear skies allow for the maximum release of longwave radiation to space."

Find out how condensation happens and what the condensation process entails. You will even learn about dew point and the water cycle and how they are relative in regards to condensation. What Is Condensation? To put it simply, the process of condensation occurs when gaseous water vapor turns to liquid. Condensation is the result when warm air containing tiny molecules of water vapor has been cooled. As warm air rises within the atmosphere, cool air falls, and the cooled water molecules condense. The condensed water molecules form liquid water droplets. This is why your cold glass of iced tea appears to sweat on a hot summer day. The hot air immediately around the glass is cooled on contact, and the water in its liquid state builds around the outside of the glass."

"text": "\"Author Topic: Water Condensation In Fuel Tanksjimh posted 02-19-2011 08:36 AM ET (US) There has been a persistent notion among many boaters that when a fuel tank containing gasoline is allowed to sit in storage, say, over the winter, a great risk for water condensation exits due to variation in the temperature of the air above the fuel. The usual theory regarding this phenomenon is for water to condense out of the air when the air temperature drops, and for the condensed water to then mix with the gasoline in the fuel tank. This process is often reported to have the potential to produce substantial quantity of water in the fuel tank, which will then contaminate the gasoline. If allowed to go on, say for four or five months, the process is claimed to be able to create enough water to cause the concentration of water in the gasoline to exceed the solubility, creating a phase separation. I recently came across an informative paper that examines precisely this situation. It has a somewhat different analysis of the risk potential. I quote at length from the source (see below for citation): Since ethanol and water readily dissolve in each other, when ethanol is used as an additive in gasoline, water will actually dissolve in the blended fuel to a much greater extent than in conventional gasoline. Since the solubility of water in both gasoline and air decreases with a decrease in temperature, water can enter a fuel system through condensation when the atmospheric temperature changes. For example, assume a tank containing conventional gasoline contains only one gallon of fuel. Assume also that it is closed while the outside temperature is 100 degrees F with a relative humidity of 100 percent."

"text": "Vapor-Liquid Equilibria Back to previous section: Single Component Liquid Continue to next section: Using VLE to Solve Mass Balances Importance of VLEVapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) undergirds the bulk of industrial separation processes, particularly in distillation processes. We will consider only binary (two-component) mixtures here for simplicity. The composition of the liquid phase will be designated by the mole fraction of the more volatile component (lower boiling point), represented by x. The mole fraction of the other component in the liquid is of course 1 - x. Likewise, the mole fraction of the vapor will be represented by y, with 1 - y being the composition of the other component in the vapor phase. When the liquid mixture is heated to its boiling point, the vapor produced will, in general, have a different composition than the liquid; i.e., x will not equal y. Thus, boiling the mixture produces a partial separation of the components. If the vapor is collected, it can be condensed and boiled again to further change the composition. Distillation columns use this principle, effectively repeating the separation process at individual trays within a column. Such columns may have over a hundred trays on which VLE is occurring. Depicted at the left is a cartoon cut-away of a small section of a tray-type distillation column. Two sieve trays are shown. Hot vapor (shown in white) flows up through the holes in the sieve tray and vigorously bubbles through the liquid (shown in blue)."

It is defined as the absolute vapor pressure exerted by a liquid at 100 °F (37.8 °C) as determined by the test method ASTM-D-323. The test method applies to volatile crude oil and volatile nonviscous petroleum liquids, except liquified petroleum gases. The matter of vapor pressure is important relating to the function and operation of gasoline powered, especially carbureted, vehicles. High levels of vaporization are desirable for winter starting and operation and lower levels are desirable in avoiding vapor lock during summer heat. Fuel cannot be pumped when there is vapor in the fuel line (summer) and winter starting will be more difficult when liquid gasoline in the combustion chambers has not vaporized. Thus, oil refineries manipulate the Reid Vapor Pressure seasonally specifically to maintain gasoline engine reliability. The Reid vapor pressure (RVP) differs slightly from the true vapor pressure (TVP) of a liquid due to small sample vaporization and the presence of water vapor and air in the confined space of the test equipment. That is, the RVP is the absolute vapor pressure and the TVP is the partial vapor pressure. Conversion between the two measures can be found here, from p. 7.1-54 onwards."

Energy is needed for motion, the more energy a substance has the faster is its motion. The reverse is also true, as energy is decreased, the motion of a substance decreases. Before discussing the different changes in states of matter, you may wish to review the article, States of Matter, which describes what matter is.

"text": "\"WRAL Weather Center Blog What does the dew point mean? Posted November 3, 2016By Mike Moss What does the dew point measure? Mike Moss: The number of a dew point, for example 62, represents the temperature at which a given air mass would be saturated with water vapor, so that any additional water vapor added to the air, or any further cooling of the air, would lead to condensation in the form of cloud or fog droplets (or if the air is in contact with a surface like the top of a car or a blade of grass, the condensation would take the form of dew on that surface). The dew point is actually proportional to the amount of water vapor in a given parcel of air, so that an increasing dew point means there is a greater concentration of water vapor molecules present and vice versa. So, for example, air with a dew point of 62 is more \"\"moist\"\" than air with a dew point of, say, 35. In that sense, dew point is an indicator of absolute or specific humidity, both of which depend only on the concentration of water vapor in the air. This is not to be confused with \"\"relative humidity,\"\" usually given in percent, which depends not only on the amount of water vapor present but also on the temperature. Relative humidity is a ratio of the amount of water vapor actually present in the air or in a given space compared to the amount that would be required to reach saturation. If a given volume of air or space contains only half the water vapor molecules required to become saturated, for example, the relative humidity would be 50%. The dew point can tell us where moist or dry air is located and how it is changing."

A long answer BUT . . In the atmosphere, water vapour is able to be carried as long as the temperature does not drop too low. When the air cools, the water vapour is precipitated out as liquid water, initially as extremely small spheres that may be buoyant in the air currents. This is our common Cumulus clouds, or fog, and at the cloud margin, the air may be warmer and the water spheres are re-absorbed into the air again. A fascinating example of this is commonly seen when water droplets, now large enough to form rain, commence to fall from the cloud. A few tens of metres below the cloud, these rain sheets - often slanted by winds - become re-absorbed by the dryer air. This is known as Virga."

"text": "\"Arthritis Treatment What to Know About Corticosteroids Potent drugs tame inflammation quickly By Carol Eustice | Reviewed by Grant Hughes, MDUpdated July 15, 2017Share Pin Email Print Article Table of Contents Overview Indications Administration Side Effects Short-Term vs. Long-Term Therapy Discontinuation Dosing Back To Top Tom Grill/The Image Bank/Getty Images Corticosteroids or glucocorticoids, often just called \"\"steroids\"\", were once thought to be miraculous. In 1948, at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, a group of arthritis patients was given daily injections of a corticosteroid. The results were so striking and the improvement so dramatic, doctors thought that the \"\"cure\"\" for arthritis had been discovered. However, as the use of corticosteroids expanded over the years, side effects emerged. High doses given over prolonged periods of time turned steroids into \"\"scare-oids.\"\" Patients were warned of the potential problems, the use of corticosteroids became more conservative, and some patients even declined treatment because they were fearful. In fact, corticosteroids are powerful drugs that can be valuable if they are administered within proper guidelines. Understanding how they work and how they can be used safely is essential. Overview Corticosteroids are drugs closely related to cortisol, a hormone which is naturally produced in the adrenal cortex (the outer layer of the adrenal gland). Corticosteroids include: Betamethasone (Celestone)Budesonide (Entocort EC)Cortisone (Cortone)Dexamethasone (Decadron)Hydrocortisone (Cortef)Methylprednisolone (Medrol)Prednisolone (Prelone)Prednisone (Deltasone)Triamcinolone (Kenacort, Kenalog)The Role of Cortisol Cortisol plays an important part in controlling salt and water balance in the body as well as regulating carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism."

Hoffman, MDPublished: June 2014Contents Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and giant cell arteritis (GCA) are two related and immune-mediated inflammatory conditions that occur in the elderly. PMR coexists in 40% of patients with GCA. Similarly, 10% of PMR patients develop GCA at some point during their disease course. The relationship between PMR and GCA is further demonstrated by their preference for similar patient populations, linkage to the same human leukocyte antigen haplotypes, similar cytokine patterns in temporal artery biopsies, and similarities in anatomic involvement on positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. 1-3 PMR and GCA represent two extremes of a disease spectrum. Polymyalgia Rheumatica Definition Bruce is credited with the first description, in 1888, of PMR, which he described as \"\"senile rheumatic gout.\"\" 4 However, Barber coined the term polymyalgia rheumatica in 1957, and it has become the universally accepted name for this condition. 5PMR is characterized by proximal, symmetrical musculoskeletal pain and stiffness. Symptoms of systemic inflammation are also common. A dramatic response to low-dose corticosteroids can be a valuable diagnostic tool in patients for whom the diagnosis is uncertain."

The adrenal glands are really two endocrine glands in one. The inner part produces epinephrine (also called adrenaline). The outer portion of the adrenal is called the cortex. It makes two important steroid hormones, cortisol and aldosterone. Cortisol mobilizes nutrients, modifies the body’s response to inflammation, stimulates the liver to raise the blood sugar, and also helps to control the amount of water in the body. Aldosterone regulates salt and water levels which affects blood volume and blood pressure. Cortisol production is regulated by another hormone, adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), made in the pituitary gland, which is located just below the brain. In most individuals, aldosterone production is not dependent on ACTH."

Systemic corticosteroids have been used in the treatment of numerous medical conditions for approximately 50 years. Short-acting products such as hydrocortisone are the least potent. Prednisone and methylprednisolone, which are intermediate-acting products, are four to five times more potent than hydrocortisone. Dexamethasone is a long-acting, systemic corticosteroid; its potency is about 25 times greater than the short-acting products. Corticosteroids reduce the need for hospitalization in patients with croup and decrease morbidity and the incidence of respiratory failure in the treatment of patients with AIDS who have Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. Other often overlooked indications for corticosteroids are the treatment of hyperthyroid states, including thyroid storm, subacute thyroiditis and ophthalmopathy of Graves' disease. Systemic steroids can be used as adjuvant analgesics in the treatment of neuropathic and cancer-related pain."

Dermatomyositis is an idiopathic inflammatory myopathy with characteristic skin manifestations. Although the disorder is rare, with a prevalence of one to 10 cases per million in adults and one to 3.2 cases per million in children, early recognition and treatment are important ways to decrease the morbidity of systemic complications. An association with other connective tissue disorders (overlap syndrome) and malignancy make this diagnosis particularly important to primary care physicians. Patient management includes careful evaluation for underlying malignancy and liberal use of physical therapy, antihistamines, sunscreen and oral corticosteroids. Poor prognostic indicators include poorly responsive disease, delay in diagnosis and the presence of malignancy. The therapeutic goal is to maintain function and prevent or minimize sequelae.

As is usual with all things myasthenic, the success of one treatment over another is really dependant on the patient. What works for one person, may not work at all for another. And what works for one body part in a patient, may not work for another body part. A doctor may experiment with various therapies and prescription levels to achieve relief from myasthenic symptoms for the patient. There is no one recipe for all situations, so the choice of treatment for an individual patient requires judgment and experience. Patients and their doctors are often required to make decisions even when the evidence is inconclusive. Patients need all the support which doctors, family and friends can offer."

Growing stuff like Boston ferns, crotons, bromeliads, or even a dwarf banana tree livens up the house or yard. It adds just a bit of that lush greenery to your personal space. And no, that wasn’t a typo. The banana plant can be a stunning ornamental houseplant if maintained properly. Technically not a tree at all, the thick “trunk” of the banana tree is actually made up of tightly-clumped leaf stalks,While they’re not true trees like apples or other fruiting trees, bananas can grow to be incredibly large. Thankfully, we have dwarf cultivars which only grow to be 4′ to 12′ tall, making them viable for home gardens. You don’t need to be in the tropics to grow them, although they definitely love the warm weather. With the right care, you too can enjoy this leathery-leaved plant. And if you let it flower, you might even get some bananas, too!Listen to this post on the Epic Gardening Podcast Epic Gardening: Daily Growing Tips and Advice Growing Dwarf Banana Trees?30 00:00:00 30Subscribe to the Epic Gardening Podcast on i Tunes Best Products To Fix Dwarf Banana Tree Pests/Diseases: Monterey Garden Insect Spray Safer Brand Yard & Garden Spray Beneficial Nematodes Ladybugs Lacewings Diatomaceous Earth Neem Oil Yellow Sticky Traps Bonide Copper Fungicide Bonide All-Seasons Horticultural and Dormant Spray Oil Dwarf Banana Tree Overview Common Name (s)Dwarf banana tree, Dwarf Cuban red, Dwarf Cavendish, Giant Cavendish, Williams Hybrid, Gran Nain, Chiquita, Lady finger, Sugar banana, Latundan banana, apple banana, silk banana, Pisang Raja, Brazilian, Raja Puri, Rajapuri, Red Tiger, Darjeeling banana, Flowering banana Scientific Name Musa acuminata, Musa balbisiana, Musa x paradisiaca, Musa sikkimensis, Musa ornata Family Musaceae Origin Warm tropical and subtropical regions, varies by cultivar Height Dwarf species are 4-12 feet in height."

The trees are now five years old and I harvest about two gallons of figs each year. I move them into an unheated garage during the winter. You can do the same with other fruits that thrive in your zone. You are better off selected dwarf varieties since the containers are not typically large enough for standard size fruit trees.

The main difference between a midget and a dwarf is that a midget has normal bodily proportions. Since the term \"\"midget\"\" is considered offensive, the term \"\"little person\"\" can be used to refer to a midget or a dwarf. Midget is a derogatory name for a person who is unusually small but well-proportioned. The term has given way to the more favorable \"\"little person.\"\" Little people (or midgets) do not suffer from the same bone and joint problems as people with dwarfism. They grow normally, but do not exceed 58 inches in height. A dwarf is an unusually small person (less than 58 inches tall) with abnormal bodily proportions.

A standard pear tree requires about the same space as an apple tree and can be pruned to about 20 feet tall. Semi-dwarf pear trees grow to about 12 feet tall. There are two types of pears: European pears–with their classic pear shape–are harvested before they are ripe and held in storage until they ripen and are ready for eating; Asian pears–which are rounded and crisp much like an apple–are harvested ripe from the tree. Before you buy and plant a pear tree consider the following:■ Space to grow and form of tree. How much space do you have? This will determine the form of the tree you choose–freestanding or wire-trained. ■ Size of tree and type of rootstock. What size tree will fit the space? The ultimate size of a pear tree is determined by its rootstock."

Although retired, Gay-Mor continues to be noted for their consistency of high milk production. Other stock has been added to our herd from such reputable breeders as Caesar's Villa, who has made a major impact on the breed through Caesar Villa's ARMCHStetson++*S and the quality of other MCH show and star milk animals in that herd; Enchanted Hill who has the eye of Judge Kinser backing his herd's conformation excellence; 4-Fun, who contributed much in the early development of the breed to steer them towards true dairy character; and Pocket Sized, who's diligence in selective line breeding has produced many fine champions and star milkers as well. These combined genetic bloodlines have produced the consistent quality and character known as Corner Stone Farm. Our breeding program stresses dairy character and conformation; focusing on milk production, temperment, then size and and color. Our Mission: To keep in the forefront of Nigerian Dwarf goat breeding standards in order to produce a quality miniature milking dairy goat; and to provide to our buyers the reliability of the level of quality they are looking to own in a Nigerian Dwarf goat. Our Herd: The lines we have choosen were picked because of their proven prominence in the Nigerian Dwarf goat sector and the dedication each of these breeders had to the development of the breed. Through consistent breeding practises for 10 years, we have produced proven stock in the show ring by attaining National title honors on our Cornerstone Farm Bethsan, through multi-generation milking goats stars, and in breeding the tempermemnt and stablity needed not only on the milkstand, but for pets that will be handled by small children. All Corner Stone Nigerian Dwarf Dairy goats, adults and kids, are fully vetted and follow a strict health management program resulting in a healthy and productive herd."

I also have some large woody plants that are growing around my back yard that I have cut back but they just seem to be doing better than ever. I have heard that you put salt on them to kill them. Is it rock salt, how do you do it without killing everything around it? The time to prune crape myrtles is in February, before new growth begins. Pruning them in the fall can expose them to winter damage if we have a cold winter. The key is to get them through the bulk of the winter before pruning. If your red top photinia just needs a light trim, that is fine to do now, but severe pruning--removing more than 1/3 of the plant should be done in the spring; you don’t want to encourage too much new growth this late in the season. I do not like to use salt to kill plants, as salt will stay in the soil for a long time and can leach out and damage nearby root systems. Once you cut the trees down, you can paint the stumps with an herbicide such as Brush-B-Gon, Brush Killer or Roundup Super Concentrate."

"text": "With their leathery leaves and rounded canopy, mahogany trees (Swietenia mahagoni) add a tropical look to landscaping within U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 10 to 11. They take roughly 25 years to reach a mature height of 50 feet, which means they have a relatively fast growth rate compared to other trees. However, mahogany trees must be planted under ideal conditions and in the right climate to help ensure productive, healthy growth. Climate Requirements Mahogany trees occur naturally in the American tropics, from southern Florida to the Caribbean islands. It is not frost-tolerant and will drop its leaves if temperatures dip below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Additionally, foliage loss is a concern during periods of drought or extreme heat, so mahogany trees must be kept well-watered to account for inclement weather conditions within its USDA hardiness zone range. Growing Conditions In nature, mahogany trees grow in dense forests near water where the soil never fully dries out. This makes them an ideal landscaping tree for boggy areas where other trees may fail to thrive. The soil should be slightly acidic and very well-drained, although they are adaptable trees and can withstand alkaline soil with few problems. Choose a planting site with full sun exposure or light, dappled shade."

It is used often for making furniture, cabinets, and doors. Because of its classy look and durability that often improves with age, it is also popular as an exotic hardwood flooring. Check out the wide variety of hardwood flooring that is available NOW!While mahogany hardwood flooring may be more expensive than other species of hardwood flooring, it is often the first choice of buyers. It is important to know what you are getting because not all hardwoods that have mahogany in their name are genuinely mahogany. Be Aware of the Different Names Genuine mahogany’s beauty–such as that found in red mahogany–improves as it ages, which is just one reason why it is so sought after. As the wood ages, its reddish-brown color continues to deepen. This hardwood is naturally resistant to decay caused by both insects and water. It is tightly grained and usually naturally free of imperfections such as air pockets. With these traits, it is less likely to crack or check in the future."

It’s also relatively easy to find sustainably grown softwoods (woods grown on tree farms to ensure an endless supply of wood); this means you’re not contributing to the deforestation of the world and will always have a supply of wood for your projects. Following is a list of common softwood varieties and their characteristics. Cedar The most common type of cedar is the western red variety."

"text": "The Guitar Neck & Fretboard On acoustic guitars the neck extends from the headstock to the heel joint at the top of the guitar body. The neck serves two functions. Mechanically, it supports the strings, but it also provides support for the main playing surface - the fretboard. The neck and fretboard are perhaps the most critical part of the guitar as far as feel and playability are concerned. Our hands are very sensitive and to a guitarist, changes in neck dimensions of only a fraction of a millimetre can make a noticeable difference in the playing feel of a guitar. This level of accuracy is difficult to achieve and to control, when working in wood. The neck - sustain and tone There are many opinions about how the neck affects the tone of the guitar. Although the neck is always in contact with one end of the strings, which are the primary source of the sound of the guitar, it obviously isn’t directly involved in sound production. Any energy from the strings that vibrates the neck is really wasted and sustain is lost. Ideally the neck end of the strings shouldn’t vibrate at all and the neck shouldn’t adsorb any energy from the strings."

"text": "Oak is a hardwood often used for furniture. ( oak tree image by Pink Sky Photos from Fotolia.com)Mahogany and oak are hardwoods used in furniture making. As hardwoods, both come from the trunks of deciduous trees, or broadleaved trees that lose their leaves in the fall. Hardwoods are more durable than softwoods, such as pine, cedar and other types of wood from coniferous trees. Graining The grain of a wood is the pattern that runs across its surface. Mahogany is a closed-grain wood, meaning it has a small, straight grain. Oak, on the other hand, is an open-grained wood, with a large grain pattern. Oak's distinctive graining, often including knots or swirls, makes it one of the easiest woods to identify. Colour Mahogany is often used for expensive, high-end furniture. Reddish-brown to deep red in colour, mahogany furniture tends to be traditional or formal, including pianos."

Trees create the right temperature, amount of sunlight, and micro-habitats for forest animals and plants. Trees provide food for herbivores in the form of leaves, nuts and fruit, which is carried through the food chain to big Amazon Rainforest animals like jaguar and tapir. Unfortunately, it’s the trees that are being cut down for timber or to make way for farm land. This means many species go extinct, some disappearing before we even knew they existed. Due to different diseases and its geographic location, the Amazon Rainforest contains an exceptional diversity of trees, which provide abundant habitats for an incredible diversity of different Amazon animals and plants. Back in 1988, in the forests of Iquitos in northern Peru, Alwyn Howard Gentry set the world record for tree diversity recording 300 different species per hectare. Tropical trees are difficult to age as they lack identifiable growth rings, but recently scientists have estimated that Amazon trees can be up to 1000 years old or older.

Two Popular Varieties of Rhododendron The Catawba rhododendron variety ( Rhododendron catawbiense) is a broadleaf , evergreen bush that has dark green, leathery foliage, as well as spring flowers that are great for attracting hummingbirds. This rhododendron shrub is easy to transplant, but it does require an acidic soil and prefers a shady location. Flowers can be white, lavender rose or the red that hummingbirds so love. Catawba rhododendron bushes can reach a height of 6-8 feet, with a spread of 4-6 feet. Displays are most effective when rhododendron bushes are massed together. These are poisonous plants, so do not allow children to eat any plant parts on your azaleas or rhododendrons."

The neck wood can be flatsawn or quartersawn, depending upon the dimension of the neck stock, the intended neck construction technique, instrument style, tradition, and personal preferences. Flatsawn necks generally flex more than quartersawn necks, but in some cases a quartersawn neck can be too stiff. If you're uncertain whether flatsawn or quartersawn is best for you, we recommend playing several instruments of the style you are looking to construct.

The tree grows an umbrella-shaped canopy that provides shade in hot, sunny areas. A loquat tree can reach up to 30 feet tall in its 20- to 30-year lifespan. The tree thrives in Mediterranean climates and grows hardy in U. S. Department of Agriculture zones 8 through 11. Loquat trees grow best in full sun, but they will tolerate some shade, although this will decrease flower and fruit production.1Select an appropriate site for the loquat tree. Choose a spot with well-draining soil that is away from buildings power lines and trees. The ideal site will receive afternoon shade.2Dig a hole three times as deep and three to four times the diameter of the loquat's container. This will give the tree's roots room to grow.

When can I trim them? ANSWER: Prune your pentas whenever the plants grow too tall or too wide for the landscape. Many gardeners wait for cold weather to damage the stems, and then they trim. Because little damage occurred this winter, you have to decide when you would like to cut plants back. Maybe just a light trimming is all that's needed, and you won't have to remove too many blossoms. Even if given a severe cut, the plants should be back in bloom in four to six weeks.

"text": "\"Home »Flowers Zone 8 Tropical Plants By J. D. Chi; Updated September 21, 2017Zone 8 on the U. S. Department of Agriculture Plant Hardiness Zone Map is defined as a wide swath of the middle South, including Gainesville, Florida; Mobile, Alabama and Houston, Texas. The zone reaches as far north as Tifton, Georgia and Dallas, Texas. This zone is considered tropical and many tropical plants will thrive in these areas, though winter temperatures can dip to 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Summers are hot and often humid, and this region experiences ample rainfall. When looking for tropicals for Zone 8, be sure to check for frost tolerance. USDA Plant Hardiness Zones More Info about Hardiness Zones Camellia The Camellia (Camellia) is a staple in southern landscapes for its glossy, green foliage and showy blooms, which resemble roses. Available as evergreen shrubs or small trees, there are more than 3,000 named Camellias. These plants originated in eastern and southeastern Asia, but thrive in the mild winters and warm summers of USDA Zone 8. Camellias are best suited for dappled or partial shade, particularly in the southern part of Zone 8. They require regular to moderate water, and well-draining, neutral to slightly acidic soil."

"text": "Growing drought resistant vegetables, fruit, herbs and spicesby Matilda George, NEW GARDEN GIRL (Africa Zimbabwe, Bulawayo)I would love your help on what to plant and at what time of the year. please advise on what drought resistant crops i could plant. i live in Zimbabwe and have this year decided to plant my own fruit, vegetables and spices. thank you~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Megan says... Growing drought resistant vegetables, fruits and herbs The best thing for you to do is to find out locally what grows well and what other gardeners nearby recommend for drought tolerant vegetables, herbs and fruit. It's such a wide question with many possibilities and like all gardeners, you will find what works for you as you go along. Even though you can grow many drought resistant plants, it is important to give them a good start. All seeds will only germinate with moisture. Young seedlings and plants need water to get established and be well settled in the ground before they can withstand harsh, dry conditions. Once established, certainly most plants would still struggle mightily in hot and dry conditions. You would be best to leave out cooler growing veggies like peas, cabbage family, most big leafy greens like lettuce, English spinach and similar."

"text": "Getty Images/Inacio Pires/Eye Em The nispero or Japanese loquat in English is an Asian fruit that has been cultivated for thousands of years. Although introduced to Spain about two thousand years ago by sailors arriving in ports of the Valencia region, it wasn't until the 19th century that the loquat began to be cultivated in Spain and elsewhere around the Mediterranean. The loquat tree thrives wherever citrus trees do, making the warm coastal areas of the Mediterranean a perfect fit. Spain is the main producer of loquat in Europe. It is also known as the medlar. Appearance and Flavor There are many varieties of loquat, each with a slightly different appearance. Generally, the loquat is pear-shaped, with smooth dark orange to the orange-yellow skin. It doesn't have the crunch of an apple but has soft, creamy yellow flesh with two to four large seeds in the center. The skin is edible. The fruit has a sweet and sour taste, described as being a mixture of citrus, peach, and even mango."

Here's a brief summary of my experiences and recommendations at 3000' in the Sierra Nevada foothills. Before I go any further, be aware that growing your own food is hard work and lots of it. First, be really careful because there's a lot more bad than good information out there. Nurseries sell fruit trees only as a sideline to their main landscaping business and are usually locked into buying from one or two fruit tree suppliers. County extension agents are government bureaucrats with no skin in the game. UC Davis has lots of publications and web pages full of just plain wrong information. Seed and orchard catalogs are full of beautiful pictures and gushing descriptions because that's the best way to increase sales. Gardening books tend to be written with an upbeat and encouraging tone that downplays potential problems. Commercial farmers have different objectives and means than home growers."

"text": "\"Home »Trees List of Types of Fruit Trees By Charmayne Smith; Updated September 21, 2017Fruit trees come in all shapes and sizes. While some fruit trees grow into statuesque towers, other fruit trees develop into small shrub-like trees with little height and ability to stand erect. The variations come not only with nature’s creations, but with the engineered hybrid fruits. Even with the large selection of fruit, many of the most common fruit fall into just a few types. Pome Fruit Pome fruits are members of the Rosaceae pomoideae family. These fruits have a central core of seeds with a thin, tough outer-membrane that is edible with the fruit. These deciduous fruit trees have a moderate growth rate, thrive in full sun and require several months of cold dormancy for quality fruit production in the following season. The apple tree is the most commonly known pome fruit and is grown in every state in the U. S. Other pome fruit trees include the pear, loquat, hawthorn and the medlar. Stone Fruit Similar to pome fruits, stone fruits have a center core with a thin but tough and edible outer-membrane. The center core of the stone fruit, however, is comprise of one stone-like drupe in the center of the fruit, rather than a series of small seeds."

We extend this to ‘Twenty-one nations’ when it comes to Spanish food names, according to Aunt Ilana. When writing about Dominican cooking to an international audience, such as yourselves – we know from the response that we have an impressive range of nationalities and international locations amongst our esteemed membership – we often come across food names that mean one thing in one place and are meaningless elsewhere because they are known by a totally different monicker. There are also several cases where the same name refers to a completely different thing, with all the confusion that creates. My main experience is with Iberian Spanish and Dominican Spanish, but I have also visited a smattering of other Spanish-speaking countries. Often with amusing results. Watching my Dominican husband conversing with my mother, whose Spanish is staunchly Iberian with a hint of Venezuelan influence, can sometimes border on the surreal. What Mum calls pimiento Pedro calls ají. This means pepper, which is also sometimes called chile, although this usually refers to the spicier varieties. What she calls sesamo, he calls ajonjolí."

However, there are a wide variety of lesser known tropical fruit varieties that are not only fun to grow but also delicious. Exotic fruit growing is not difficult if you pay attention to the specific growing requirements of the plant. Growing Tropical Fruit Trees Many exotic fruit plants can be grown in regions in the United States that have temperate or tropical climates. Some plants can even thrive indoors if grown in optimal conditions. When picking out your tropical fruit plants, be sure that you understand which conditions are best. Most exotic fruit plants require a southern location near a house or other structure that will provide protection and heat during the winter. In addition, exotic fruit plants require well draining soil with plenty of organic matter. New plants should be watered frequently to keep the rootball moist. It may be necessary to water several times per day during the hottest months of the year."

I am absolutely spoiled rotten by the abundance of inexpensive, delicious fruit in this country, most of which I had never eaten until I came here, and most of which just happens to be grown organically. There is fabulous fruit all over the country, but I’m partial to the coastal regions’ tropical offerings. As I began learning about all the different types, I started taking pictures and cataloging everything in order to make an encyclopedic blog post about fruit in Madagascar, so what you are reading now is the result of almost 2 years of very delicious “field work”. Oftentimes when I’m buying my favorite fruit, the seller will ask, “what’s the name for this in English?”, and I’ll have to respond, “there isn’t one! It doesn’t exist in the English language!” Just like there is no word for “snow” in Malagasy, there’s no word for sakoa, a fruit that I believe only exists here, in English. Update: I now know that the sakoa, a.k.a. ambarella, exists elsewhere, but none of my Peace Corps friends had ever seen it before, either."

The researchers have been listening to the animal's abnormally high song for over 20 years but have never seen what it looks like. The unknown whale is called 'lonely' because it appears to communicate at a frequency not used by any other whale in the North Pacific, and so far, it is not thought to have ever got a response to its plaintive cries. A team of scientists and documentary makers will attempt to find 'the loneliest whale in the world' next autumn. The creature has been calling out at a frequency not used by any other whales in the North Pacific Ocean for the last 20 years Experts believe the huge mammal is most likely a fin whale, but could be a blue whale, or a hybrid of the two species, Discovery News reported. The US Navy began passing recordings of whale song to scientists in the late 1980s. It picked up the haunting noises when trying to listen for submarines in the North Pacific. In 1989, Dr William Watkins of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution began to sort through the recordings and noticed that one whale's song was much higher in pitch than the others.

Hearing becomes gradually less sensitive as frequency decreases, so for humans to perceive infrasound, the sound pressure must be sufficiently high. The ear is the primary organ for sensing infrasound, but at higher intensities it is possible to feel infrasound vibrations in various parts of the body. The study of such sound waves is sometimes referred to as infrasonics, covering sounds beneath 20 Hz down to 0.1 Hz and rarely to 0.001 Hz. People use this frequency range for monitoring earthquakes, charting rock and petroleum formations below the earth, and also in ballistocardiography and seismocardiography to study the mechanics of the heart. Infrasound is characterized by an ability to cover long distances and get around obstacles with little dissipation. In music, acoustic waveguide methods, such as a large pipe organ or, for reproduction, exotic loudspeaker designs such as transmission line, rotary woofer, or traditional subwoofer designs can produce low-frequency sounds, including near-infrasound. Subwoofers designed to produce infrasound are capable of sound reproduction an octave or more below that of most commercially available subwoofers, and are often about 10 times the size.

Maui’s shallow, warm and protected waters provide the perfect habitat for Humpback Whales to mate and give birth. As a matter of fact the waters off of Maui’s South/West shores ( Kihei, Lahaina, Wailea, Olowalu, Makena, Kaanapali, Kapalua, Napili) are the some of the most populated waters in the WORLD for Humpback Whales. Humpback whales are the most “ watchable ” whales due to their surface activities: Pec Slaps, Breaches, Fluke Slaps, Spy Hops and Tail Up Dives. They also surface on average every 10-15minutes to breath, spraying water 15 feet in the air as they clear their lungs through their blowhole, perfect for spectator’s or those on a Maui Whale Watching tour. If you’re in Maui during whale season going on a whale watch tour is a must!“Seeing a whale from a kayak is a totally different experience. What I will remember most is the sounds of the whales. We stopped at one point and just quietly waited. I could hear them breathing all around us. It drove home the point that these are fellow mammals and I was deeply privileged to be able to spend some time with them on the water.”"

Carl Sagan taught us the true magic of the Whales, discovering that song is very important to the Whales. Whales have an entire catalog of songs that they sing and remember. What is most mystifying and intriguing about the Whales songs is that the Whale sings a different song for each month of the year, somehow it knows when the new month has come and begins the new song To do this my intuition speaks that the Whale must sense the energy of the moon and the moons influences on the waters, as the moon greatly effects the tides and the flow of the oceans waters. Whale acknowledges these changes in ritual song. The Whale will also sing a song in one location and return in 6 months time to the same location and pick up singing the very same song. The whole Whale pod will all sing in unison."

"text": "Adaptations for Life in the Ocean Whales, dolphins and porpoises are mammals that have adapted to live their entire lives in the ocean. Like all mammals, they give live birth, have hair (very little), breathe air and nurse their young. Therefore, they are much more closely related to humans, bats and koala bears than they are to fish. In fact, whales are most closely related to hoofed mammals like pigs and hippopotamuses. Click HERE to learn more about the classification and evolutionary history of humpback whales. Humpback whales are well-adapted to move through the ocean. Their bodies are streamlined with only a few bristles for hair on top of the head, no external ear flaps, and internal genitalia. Each whale has a nasal opening on the top of its head that allows it to exhale efficiently and inhale without lifting its head out of the water. Their powerful flukes, a modified 15-foot wide tail, propel them through the water. Humpbacks have the longest flippers (pectoral fins) of any whale, and the leading edge of the fin has ridges that increase their hydrodynamic efficiency."

"text": "\"How To ›Home Theater What Is Harmonic Frequency? You May Already Know the Answer Harmonics help you distinguish different musical instruments Share Pin Email Printantonioiacobelli / Getty Imagesby Gary Altunian Updated December 11, 2017If you have studied any discipline of acoustics, radio signal technology, or electronic engineering, you might remember covering the topic of harmonic frequency. It is an integral part of how music is heard and perceived. The harmonic frequency is one component that helps us accurately determine the unique quality of sound made by different instruments, even when they are playing the same note. Definition of Harmonic Frequency A harmonic frequency is a regular and repeating multiple of an original wave pattern, known as a fundamental frequency. If the fundamental wave is set at 500 hertz, it experiences a first harmonic frequency at 1000 hertz, or double the fundamental frequency. The second harmonic frequency occurs at 1500 hertz, which is triple the fundamental frequency, and the third harmonic frequency is 2000 hertz, which is quadruple the fundamental frequency, and so on. In another example, the first harmonic of the fundamental frequency 750 hertz is 1500 hertz, and the second harmonic of 750 hertz is 2250 hertz. All harmonics are periodic at the fundamental frequency and can be broken down into a series of nodes and antinodes. Effects of Harmonic Frequency Almost all musical instruments produce a characteristic standing wave pattern that contains both fundamental and harmonic frequencies."

"text": "Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeanglia or “big-winged New Englander”)Humpback whales are probably the most commonly sighted whale species on our trips. Humpback whales travel either alone, in pairs, and very occasionally in small groups of three to seven animals. Larger aggregations are occasionally seen when food is particularly abundant. Humpbacks start arriving in our area in the late Winter and very early Spring (by the beginning of March) with males and juveniles arriving first, and female whales with new calves arriving last (usually by mid-May). When the Humpback whales arrive in our area they are hungry and ready to begin feeding. A Humpback whale will feed for up to eighteen hours-a-day, all summer long. Each whale can consume nearly three thousand pounds of fish (well over a million calories) per day!The whales consume this massive amount of food each day because they need to build-up a thick layer of fat (“blubber”) that helps keep them warm and serves as an energy reserve for the whales long migration. Each winter nearly the entire population of Humpbacks we see off the New England coast migrates fifteen-hundred miles to the warm, tropical waters of the Caribbean to mate and give birth to their calves. This is also where the male Humpback whales sing the majority of their elaborate songs for which this species is so well-known. These warmer regions of the ocean, however, are much less productive than the colder waters of the Gulf of Maine."

Bats, moths, dolphins, and various other creatures can hear much higher frequencies of sound beyond the range of human hearing, which is known as ultrasound.

For each position of the level, the lengths of the foresights and backsights should be approximately the same since accuracy is a function of the distance of a sighting. The level operator should anticipate the distance to the next station and set up the level midway along this distance (note: the distance that can be sighted decreases with increase in slope, since the stadia rod will disappear above or below the level line of sight).

"text": "Section 2: Differential Leveling Overview Differential leveling is the process of measuring vertical distances from a known elevation point to determine elevations of unknown points. The most common methods to determine elevation are through the use of 1) a compensator type, automatic (engineering level) and level rod (s), and 2) an electronic digital barcode leveling instrument with barcode rod. A thorough knowledge of leveling principles and proper application of methods and equipment will prevent costly delays and generate the needed results and accuracy. Preferred methods of obtaining elevations (in order of preference/accuracy) are: Differential Leveling - control bench marks, cross-sections, point elevations Trigonometric Leveling - for Digital Terrain Model (DTM), 3D Model Indirect leveling (and location) by measuring horizontal distances and vertical angles Three-dimensional coordinates - both horizontal position and elevation are computed by processing the measurements GPS survey - given the appropriate equipment, procedure and data collection. Other forms of leveling are available but are not discussed in this manual as they are not preferred or their use may be limited. Figure 4-3. Illustration of Differential Leveling. The method in Figure 4-3 uses the difference in elevation between a known elevation and the height of the instrument, and then the difference in elevation from the height of instrument to an unknown elevation point. Equipment The Rod Rods are, in essence, a tape supported vertically, and used to measure the vertical distance (difference of elevation) between a horizontal line of sight and a required point above or below it. The most common types are the Philadelphia rod- a 2 piece rod usually 13' in length, the Frisco rod- a 3 piece rod 12'-15' in length, the Lenker rod- a moveable face, direct reading rod, and the fiberglass-rod- a multi-section, extension rod from 8' - 45' in length."

Bruce Air doesn’t do “stunts”—“stunts” and “tricks” are for the movies. Aerobatics (sometimes called “acrobatics”—the terms are essentially interchangeable) is precision flying. Like an element in gymnastics or figure skating, each aerobatic maneuver is carefully planned and executed, and it follows a specific profile (i.e., entry and exit altitude, speed, and path through the sky in three dimensions). Although it may look like it from the ground, aerobatic pilots aren’t just flinging airplanes around the sky.

However, as we will see, this is not always the easiest coordinate system to work in. So, in this section we will start looking at the polar coordinate system. Coordinate systems are really nothing more than a way to define a point in space. For instance in the Cartesian coordinate system at point is given the coordinates ( x,y) and we use this to define the point by starting at the origin and then moving x units horizontally followed by y units vertically. This is shown in the sketch below. This is not, however, the only way to define a point in two dimensional space. Instead of moving vertically and horizontally from the origin to get to the point we could instead go straight out of the origin until we hit the point and then determine the angle this line makes with the positive x -axis. We could then use the distance of the point from the origin and the amount we needed to rotate from the positive x -axis as the coordinates of the point. This is shown in the sketch below."

"text": "\"A Building Foundation: Making it \"\"Square\"\"A perfectly square building foundation begins with a square layout. A rectangular house must also be a \"\"square\"\" rectangle, meaning each set of two sides are equal. STEP 1: Position the four far corners of the house roughly in place where they will go. Stick a screw driver, stick or flag in the ground approximately where the corners will be. Use a 100 foot tape measure and place these four corners how you want the house to face in relation to the lot, the neighbors and the road. If you are within a subdivision or city area, there may be covenants and restrictions on where you may place the house. Be sure to check this out before you start, or you may be very sorry later. Word to the Wise: When working with forms in your building foundation, batter boards and etc., you will find that if you screw the pieces together instead of nailing them, you will have a much easier time. If you are using nail guns, it is not as big a deal, but never try to hammer these pieces together as you will loosen the supports."

"text": "Please Read The Copyright Notice Next: Flat Loop Tricks Up: The Lasso Previous: Preface A New Yorker by birth and raised in Westport, Connecticut, the lasso had always been a powerful archetypal image of the old west to me. Nevertheless, except for television cartoons and Wonder Woman comics (yep, I read those), I had never seen anyone really handle a lasso. Sure, on several occasions, as a kid, I tried to tie the end of a cord into a loop and throw or spin it what kid hasn't? In fact, my earliest memory of the lasso dates to when I was about four years old when I tried to make a lasso out of a shoelace. It didn't seem to work very well and the next morning when my dad tried to put on his shoes he got pretty red in the face and excited when it became clear that he was going to miss his train to go to work. Well the negative reinforcement I got from that little experiment discouraged me from trying that again anytime soon and so you can imagine that for many years I harbored a lot of pent-up but repressed lasso desire which was just waiting for an opportunity to come to the surface. That moment came in the summer of 1985. My roommate and friend, Alex Feldman, a juggler and variety arts entertainer, had just received Frank Dean's book Will Roger's Rope Tricks [ 4 ], a lasso, and some other juggling equipment he was interested in experimenting with. Since I was then 28 and felt relatively assured that I'd be safe from any paternal reprimands I decided to leaf through the book which led me to discover some interesting facts. First, I learned that shoelaces are not standard roping equipment."

Different jumps are identified by the take-off edge, direction of movement, and the number of revolutions completed. There are six kinds of jumps currently counted as jump elements in ISU regulations. Three are edge jumps—the Salchow, loop, and Axel—and three are toe jumps which use the toe picks on the front of the blade—the toe loop, flip, and Lutz. The Axel is the most difficult due to an extra half rotation. Each jump receives a score according to its base value and grade of execution (GOE). [ 1] The GOE ranges from +3 to −3 and is weighted according to the jump's base value. Quality of execution, technique, height, speed, flow and ice coverage are considered by the judges. An under-rotated jump (indicated by < ) is \"\"missing rotation of more than ¼, but less than ½ revolution\"\" and receives 70% of the base value. A downgraded jump (indicated by <<) is \"\"missing rotation of ½ revolution or more\"\"."

"text": "\"Making Sense of Steep Angle Shots Based on the works of Tom Henderson, Steve Mansour, Perry Ratcliff, and Thomas L. Liston. Edited by Steve Russell Quick Explanation The most common rule about uphill/downhill shots is that you shoot for the horizontal component of the range to the target. For example, if you were shooting a 40 yard uphill shot at a 30 degree angle you would set your sights for about 35 yards (the cosine of the 30 degree angle times the line-of-sight distance to the target - which in this instance comes out to 0.866 times 40 yards = 34.6 yards). This would represent the actual horizontal range to the target and is a pretty good starting point. For distances from about 20 to 40 yards this works pretty well depending on a variety of factors such as bow speed and arrow size, weight, and drag. For shorter distances, less than about 20 yards, you run in to increasing parallax errors with either sights or your basic eyeball. For distances longer than about 40 yards you begin to feel more of the effects of drag. You can take the above and apply it in practice to see how well it works for you. As stated, it is dependent on several factors so your mileage may vary. Of course, you're going to say, \"\"How can I tell at what angle the shot is? \"\","

The final key step for a refined surgical technique is adequate closure by suturing. This article reviews the most common suturing methods used in dentistry, and their applications in various periodontal surgeries are discussed. The nine most common periodontal suture techniques and six different periodontal surgical categories were selected by the periodontal faculty at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. A survey was distributed to periodontists in the United States, each of whom selected their choice of suture technique for each of the periodontal surgical procedures. The results of this survey show that simple interrupted sutures were used in the majority for each surgical procedure. Conclusion: Although suture selection and application is complex because of multiple variables, an effort was made to establish a general consensus and current trends regarding suturing techniques.

"text": "\"Get More Distance by Frank Thomas When a golf ball is launched from a club, it follows a trajectory dictated by its speed, launch angle and spin rate. While this is true for all clubs, the discussion properly centers around the driver: With most other clubs, we're concerned about distance control, while with the driver we usually just want to get as much distance as we can. ( The three-wood is also a distance club, but when the ball is on the ground we don't have the same options as when we can place it on a tee.) So the question every golfer wants answered is; ‘How can I get the maximum distance -- overall distance, not just carry – out of my tee shots? ' To begin with, consider the ball. In the 19 th century, golfers noticed that their solid gutta-percha golf balls went further after they'd been used for a while and acquired some nicks and scrapes. This observation is the reason golf balls have dimples today. Those dimples create a roughened surface, which has significant effects on a ball in flight. Where a dimpled ball will travel 260 yards the smooth ball will only go about 130 yards. First, dimples reduce the \"\"drag\"\" or resistance on the ball when it's traveling through the air."

Congress originally cooked up the alternative minimum tax (AMT) to make sure high-income types who take advantage of multiple tax breaks would still owe something to Uncle Sam each year. These days, however, upper-middle-income folks are the most likely AMT victims. Here’s what you need to know. AMT basics Think of the AMT as a separate tax system with a family resemblance to the more-familiar “regular” federal income tax system. The difference is the AMT system taxes certain types of income that are tax-free under the regular tax system and disallows some regular tax deductions. Also, the maximum AMT rate is “only” 28% versus 39.6% under the regular tax system. Finally, you’re allowed a relatively generous AMT exemption, which is equivalent to a deduction when calculating the AMT. For 2013, the exemption is $80,800 for married joint-filing couples and $51,900 for unmarried folks."

"text": "\"Personal Tax -> Dividend tax credits ->-> Tax Rates -> Alternative minimum tax / maximum Canadian dividends with no regular taxes payable Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) as it Relates to Canadian Dividends Income Tax Act s. 127.5Our Canadian tax calculator calculates alternative minimum tax as it relates to Canadian dividends. In this article, we talk about what can be earned in Canadian eligible or non-eligible dividends before regular federal or provincial taxes are payable, and before alternative minimum tax applies, if there is no income other than the eligible or non-eligible dividends. The results shown are for a single person. Dividends eligible for the enhanced dividend tax credit In 2017, regular federal taxes start to be payable when actual eligible dividends reach the amount of $56,478 (2016 $55,699). AMT starts when the dividends reach $51,637 (2016 $51,475), and at this point there is $600 of federal tax payable. The federal AMT is applicable for dividends above this amount, until the amount of the dividends reaches $136,175 (2016 $132,390), when the regular federal tax exceeds the minimum amount. In the following table, the federal row for eligible dividends shows the amount of actual dividends that can be earned before regular federal tax is payable for a single person with only the basic personal amount tax credit, if there is no income other than the dividends . The provincial information show the amount of actual dividends that can be earned in each province before any regular provincial income tax (net of any low income tax reduction) is payable. However, if this amount exceeds the amount of dividends at which federal AMT is payable ($51,637), AMT will be payable for all provinces except Quebec, which does not base its AMT on the federal AMT. The provincial information also shows the total amount of regular federal income tax, plus federal and provincial AMT payable at the indicated amount of dividends."

"text": "\"Alternative Minimum Tax Congress created the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) as an alternate form of federal income taxation to ensure that wealthy individuals and corporate taxpayers pay a fair share of federal income taxes. Its reach, however, now sometimes extends beyond the wealthy. What is the AMT? The AMT is a tax system that works in parallel with the regular federal income tax system—while some taxpayers use the regular system, others must use the AMT system. The AMT has its own set of forms, rates, rules, and brackets, and requires taxpayers to calculate their federal income tax using this system. The AMT was originally designed to capture a small number of wealthy taxpayers and ensure that those taxpayers were paying at least a minimum amount of tax. Unlike the regular income tax, however, the AMT is not indexed for inflation. Thus, over time, inflation makes more and more taxpayers subject to the AMT, causing it to extend to more middle-income taxpayers. Factors that can increase the likelihood of AMTHow can I find out if I may be subject to the AMT? There are no guaranteed tests to determine in advance if you are subject to the AMT."

Hess Published March 03, 2016 24/7 Wall St. Facebook Twitter Printarticle In 2010, the federal government took the hundreds of billions of dollars it received in corporate, income and property taxes from each state and respent that money — and then some — on programs in each state. A review of federal data indicates that some states, considering their size and the taxes they paid, received a disproportionate amount of funding relative to the amount they put in each year. The states that receive the most money from the federal government each year are, generally, the most populous ones. In 2010, eight of the 10 states with the highest population received the most. California, the most populous state in the country, receives the largest share — more than a third of a trillion dollars. However, when accounting for population and the amount states pay in federal taxes, the breakdown looks very different. This content was originally published on 24/7 Wall St. The states that received the most money from the federal government were identified using the most recent data from the U. S. Census Bureau’s Consolidated Federal Funds report, which breaks out how much the federal government spent on various programs, grants and public employee salaries by state. We relied on data from the Internal Revenue Service to calculate the amount that states pay in income tax to the federal government. Based on these reports, 24/7 Wall St. identified the 10 states that received the most money from the federal government, relative to how much they paid in income tax. Some states, including Alaska and Virginia, received more than $15,000 per person from the federal government, even after subtracting the billions the state spent on income tax."

Alden Wicker February 26, 2014One of the very first things you'll choose this tax season is your filing status, which determines the deductions and credits you can take. Generally, there are two common filing statuses: married filing jointly and single. But it's a third, less common status that we'll be discussing today: married filing separately. As with most things tax-related, choosing whether to file jointly or separately as a married couple is a highly individual and complex decision. That's why we consulted two certified public accountants to find out how common it is for a married couple to file separately, what it means for your taxes and in which situations it may apply. RELATED: What Is the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)? What Does It Mean to File Separately? If you were legally married as of December 31, 2016, then you have two choices for your 2016 tax year filing status: married filing jointly and married filing separately. Married filing jointly means you file one return as a unit, with your incomes and expenses lumped together for the purpose of calculating and paying taxes."

"text": "Want CE Credit for reading articles like this? Learn More!How PEP And Pease Don’t Actually Penalize Deductions, They’re Just 1% Surtaxes On Income November 25, 2015 07:01 am 2 Comments CATEGORY: Taxes14Shares A A A14Shares Executive Summary Back in 1991, Congress first enabled the “Pease limitation” phasing out itemized deductions, and the “Personal Exemption Phaseout” (PEP), which were designed to limit the tax benefits of those deductions for higher-income taxpayers. While the PEP and Pease limitations were themselves phased out in the mid-2000s, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 re-enacted them beginning in 2013, making them a current tax planning issue. Yet the irony is that while they are referred to as “phaseouts of itemized deductions” and a “personal exemption phaseout” the reality is that the Pease limitation and PEP are applied primarily based on the extent by which someone’s income is over specified thresholds. As a result, while they’re labeled as penalties to deductions and exemptions, the Pease limitation and PEP actually function more like surtaxes on income, amounting to a 1% marginal tax rate increase for the Pease limitation, and another 1% rate increase per family member for the PEP. The reason why this distinction matters is that ultimately, as surtaxes on income, the PEP and especially the Pease limitation are not actually disincentives against deduction-producing strategies; for instance, with almost all taxpayers, the tax savings of charitable giving is actually identical with or without the Pease limitation! In the end, this means that advisors and their clients should be cautious about trying to avoid deductions when faced with PEP and the Pease limitation; instead, simply recognize their 1% surtax effects, and focus planning on income given the higher marginal tax rates that result!Understanding PEP And The Pease Limitation And Their AGI Thresholds Under rules that were (re-)enacted as a part of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, higher-income taxpayers face a limitation on the tax benefits they receive for their itemized deductions and personal exemptions. Specifically, the rules stipulate that under IRC Section 68, for every $1 of income over the specified threshold, 3% of that amount will be subtracted from the taxpayer’s itemized deductions. In addition, under IRC Section 151 (d) (3), for every $2,500 of income over the same threshold, the taxpayer will lose 2% of his/her personal exemptions. These two rules, triggering a phaseout of itemized deductions and personal exemptions, are also known respectively as the Pease Limitation on itemized deductions (named after Representative Donald Pease [D-Oh.]"

"text": "Suspended loss in carryback year Although it may be a little too late, a taxpayer whose NOL was suspended in 2011 may be able to recoup tax by carrying back a 2013 loss. For the 2011 taxable year, NOLs were suspended for: Individuals, estates, and trusts with federal modified adjusted gross income (AGI) of $300,000 or more; and Corporations (and LLCs taxed as corporations) with pre-apportioned net income of $300,000 or more. Because the NOL suspension for individuals was based on federal AGI (without regard to the taxpayer’s federal NOL), carrying a 2013 loss back will not free up a loss from a year prior to 2011. Regarding corporations, pre-apportioned income is defined as net income after California adjustments and before the application of apportionment and allocation provision. Accordingly, an NOL deduction would not be taken into account because an NOL is taken after apportionment and allocation. Therefore, an NOL carryback will not affect whether the taxpayer is subject to the suspension in the year of the carryback. Nonconformity with federal Quick refund: Under Internal Revenue Service (IRS) procedures, a taxpayer can apply for a quick refund for tentative carryback adjustments made for an NOL. California does not conform. Interest paid: For federal purposes, if an overpayment is from the carryback of an NOL, the overpayment is deemed to arise on the filing date of the original return for the taxable year from which the NOL arose.

"text": "Planning & taxes Stock options & RSUs When Should You Exercise Your Stock Options? By Andy Rachleff / 01.21.15S tock options have value precisely because they are an option. The fact that you have an extended amount of time to decide whether and when to buy your employer’s stock at a fixed price should have tremendous value. That’s why publicly-traded stock options are valued higher than the amount by which the price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price (please see Why Employee Stock Options are More Valuable than Exchange-Traded Stock Options for a more detailed explanation). Your stock option loses its option value the moment you exercise because you no longer have flexibility around when and if you should exercise. As a result many people wonder when does it make sense to exercise an option. Tax Rates Drive the Decision to Exercise The most important variables to consider when deciding when to exercise your stock option are taxes and the amount of money you are willing to put at risk. There are three kinds of taxes you should consider when you exercise your Incentive Stock Options (the most common form of employee options): alternative minimum tax (AMT), ordinary income tax and the much lower long-term capital gains tax. You are likely to incur an AMT if you exercise your options after their fair market value has risen above your exercise price, but you do not sell them. The AMT you are likely to incur will be the federal AMT tax rate of 28% times the amount by which your options have appreciated based on their current market price (you only pay state AMT at an income level few people will access)."

"text": "Alternative minimum tax can be costly and complicated Kay Bell March 31, 2017 in Taxes Hero Images/Getty Images The alternative minimum tax, or AMT, is widely unpopular and has been a perennial punching bag whenever tax reform is discussed. President Donald Trump has vowed to kill the AMT, which cost him $31 million on his 2005 tax return. This parallel tax calculation method has been around since 1969 to ensure that wealthy taxpayers didn’t use loopholes to escape paying their fair share of taxes. The original target was 155 filers with the then-exorbitant income of $200,000 who avoided paying any federal taxes. For many decades the AMT wasn’t indexed for inflation, so more and more middle-income taxpayers were subject to the tax. A 2013 law fixed that, so the AMT is now adjusted each year to reflect inflation. What exactly is the alternative minimum tax? The alternative minimum tax, commonly referred to as the AMT, has its own set of rates (26 percent and 28 percent) and requires a separate computation that could substantially boost your tax bill. Basically, it’s the difference between your regular tax bill, figured using ordinary income tax rates, and your AMT bill, figured by filling out more IRS paperwork. When there’s a difference, you must pay that amount, the AMT, in addition to your regular tax."

So how can we deal with making hay and getting it dry between rains? This is indeed a challenge at times, but there are some proven techniques to speed drying that can help shorten the window between cutting and storing the forage. Haylage vs. hay Consider making silage or haylage instead of dry hay, whether it is stored in silos or bagged silage or as wrapped bales. Since haylage is preserved at higher moisture contents, it is a lot easier to get it to a proper dry matter content for safe preservation than it is to make dry hay. Proper dry matter content for chopping haylage can often be achieved within 24 hours as compared to three to four days for dry hay. Proper dry matter content for silage ranges from 30 to 50 percent (50 to 70 percent moisture) depending on the structure used, while wrapped balage should be dried to 40 to 55 percent dry matter (45 to 60 percent moisture)."

"text": "\"Print Share Botulism in Horses and Haylage Horse owners and veterinarians are commonly requesting information regarding the use of haylage (hay-crop silage) and/or treated hay as low-dust feed alternatives for horses. The dust in hay is formed when the hay is insufficiently dried, resulting in heating and spoilage and allowing the growth of molds. Haylage is one of the alternative methods of preserving hay when weather conditions prevent the drying of hay below 14% moisture content. Unfortunately, haylage is not recommended when feeding horses due to the danger of botulism. Haylage or grass silage is the process where young respiring plants are cut, partially wilted and placed in a silo or container such as a plastic bag where exposure to air is eliminated. The hay is baled at about 45-50% moisture and immediately wrapped with plastic, or placed in a bag, which reduces the presence of oxygen. The plants use the remaining oxygen in the bag, fermentation lowers the p H and the forage goes into a suspended state when the p H=5. Should the bag become punctured, then secondary fermentation will occur and the haylage will become spoiled in those areas where oxygen is present. Large round bales, e.g., 4 by 5 feet in size, present a greater risk of botulism. The big bale often has insufficient water-soluble carbohydrates for adequate lactic acid fermentation to achieve a stable p H (1)."

"text": "Straw Bale FAQs Common straw bale FAQs and information…Straw and hay are not the same thing We build with straw. Straw is the dry stalks of cereal plants, such as wheat, oats and barley, after the grain has been removed. It has a low moisture content and very little nutritional value. In its makeup, it’s quite similar to wood. Hay is dried grasses and legumes, e.g. pasture grass, alfalfa. It looks green and smells sweeter than straw. It has higher nutritional value and so is used as a feed for animals. If you think of straw as wood and hay as food, the importance in building becomes clear. Straw, kept well, will last forever, whilst hay is much more likely to break down and compost due to moisture and the nutrients it contains. History Straw baling machinery was invented in the mid to late 19 th century in the USA, and straw bale buildings soon became popular, especially in Nebraska, because trees were scarce and straw was a readily available by-product of growing wheat."

We are often taught that horses are sensitive creatures requiring only the freshest, top of the line grass hays for optimal nutrition and health. On the other hand, we think round bales are a recipe for digestive health challenges or disease and should be reserved for hardier livestock only. But it’s a myth that horses should never be fed round hay bales. In truth, properly stored and handled round bales are perfectly safe for horses and may actually be a smart addition in many feed management situations. Why the Round Bale Myth Persists The big concern with round bales is the increased possibility that they may spread diseases like botulism. Even though square and round bales are typically baled at the same moisture content, round bales are more often stored outside. The bacteria that can cause botulism prefer moist conditions, so round bales left out in the dew and rain provide an ideal environment for bacterial growth. In addition, when not handled properly round bales can be more prone to moisture penetration that leads to mold, which is a significant colic risk. Because of this, round hay bales have gotten an unnecessarily bad rap."

Since 2000, there have been over 900 livestock and poultry barn fires in Minnesota, resulting in over 26 million dollars in damages (Minnesota Fire Incident Reporting System). Although not specifically tracked by MFIRS, some of these fires have been caused by spontaneous combustion of hay that was baled too wet. Proper moisture at baling is the key to preventing hay fires. Managing the curing process and storage is vital to reducing the risk of hay fires. MOISTURE IS THE KEY. Moisture content of the hay at time of baling is the single biggest hay fire risk factor. Hay baled at less than 15% moisture has a minimal risk of fire (Table 1). As moisture content increases, the risk of dry matter losses and fire increase. Baled hay becomes a potential fire hazard when the interior bale temperature does not decrease."

I hear them talk about hay bale construction or strawbail. The misspelling I can deal with, but the inclusion of hay in the idea of home construction is a problem. In fact, I even heard a builder, claiming to be a straw bale builder, describe his model “hay bale house” when I spoke to him at his booth at the Green Building Expo in San Francisco last year! YIKES!!! I hope that the builders out there know the difference and understand the importance of working with straw. For those many others who have the same question, here’s the breakdown."

"text": "Determining proper moisture levels in baled hay Heather Smith Thomas June 30, 2008Share Tweet Comments ( 0)Photo by Heather Smith Thomas Several variables must be considered during haying. To make good hay, enough moisture must be present to keep all the leaves intact. Too dry, and they shatter and fall off during the baling process. Too wet, and hay will heat and mold. Plants that are cut and baled for hay tend to lose some of their vitamins and protein if they become too mature or dry. The challenge in making hay is to cut it at proper stage of maturity (while plants are still green enough to retain most of their food value) and bale it at the proper stage of dryness. The trick is to retain as much of the nutrient value as possible, without having so much moisture in the plants that the hay will mold and spoil (or heat so much after baling that it triggers spontaneous combustion and burns up a haystack). There can be quite a variation in “safe” or “desirable” hay moisture, depending on conditions. It’s really difficult to make specific recommendations, since a specific figure might be too dry in some situations, and too wet in others. It depends in part upon the type of hay (alfalfa or grass – and the type of grass), the maturity of the hay when cut, the dryness of the hay when baled, whether the bales are small or large (big round bales, large square bales, etc. ),"

"text": "A Guide to Forages and Pasture-Feeding Published on Fri, 02/08/2013 - 9:41am Forage (pasture, silage, hay) is the most natural feed for cattle. Ruminants do very well on forage but don’t grow quite as fast or get fat as quickly as when they are fed grain. Many young cattle are finished in feedlots on grain to save time and total feed. If grain-feeding can take an animal to slaughter readiness before going through another winter (on hay), it can be cheaper. But pasture is the most abundant and cheapest feed for other cattle. The following is an excerpt from Storey’s Guide to Raising Beef Cattle (Storey Publishing, 2009). This best-selling classic provides health, handling, feeding and breeding advice to anyone raising beef cattle. Green pasture supplies cattle with all the necessary nutrition and energy. By grazing lush grassland, they take in adequate protein, energy, vitamins and minerals (unless soils are very low in certain important trace minerals). An exception may be early spring grass just starting to grow — making fast growth in which plants have high water content and lower percentage of actual nutrients by weight and volume."

"text": "April 9, 2013 by Gina T. Stretching Your Horse Hay Supply This article is courtesy of Krishona Martinson, Ph D, University of Minnesota. Most horse owners have noticed that the price of feed (both hay and grain) has increased. At a hay auction in Sauke Center, MN, the 10-year average for horse quality hay (101-125 relative feed value) is $100 a ton; however, this year (2013), that same hay is averaging $220/ton. There are several key factors that have contributed to these increases, including extreme weather patterns (i.e. drought), high oil prices, currency fluctuations, a struggling economy, and a market that makes growing corn and soybeans more profitable and less risky compared to hay. Horses have evolved on diets composed entirely of forage. Therefore, forage should be the primary component of a horse’s diet (at least 2/3 of their diet). Thus, horse owners, unlike other livestock owners, have few options other than forages to use to meet their horse’s nutritional requirements. However, there are management practices that can help horse owners ride out high feed prices: Horse owners should take a critical look at equine body condition and maintain a body condition score of 5 (on a scale of 1 to 9). Horses that maintain their weight on forage-only diets do not usually require any concentrate (grain). A well-formulated ration balancer (concentrated vitamin and mineral mix) will ensure that vitamin and mineral needs are being met when dried hay is the sole dietary component."

"text": "\"Heaves in Horsesby Casie · Published January 22, 2013 · Updated February 3, 2014Recurrent airway obstruction (RAO), aka heaves, is an allergic and inflammatory lung disease in horses. It’s similar to human asthma. Many people may not think of heaves as being all that dangerous, but my first barrel racing horse, Dee, died due to complications from heaves. It was an awful experience I’ll never forget. I now know that heaves is sometimes preventable and often manageable and I would do things a lot differently today. Heaves seems to be more common in stabled horses, where inhalation of dust particles which contain allergens, mold, or endotoxins is more likely. Researchers also now believe there is a genetic component to heaves, allowing some horses to develop the disease more easily. When a horse that is predisposed to heaves breathes in dust particles, it triggers bronchospasm (narrowing of airways). The walls of the horse’s airway become inflamed, mucous develops, and the horse has difficulty breathing. Each episode of heaves leads to more thickening of airway walls, making it more difficult for the horse to cope."

Those variables include the relative humidity, the moisture level of the soil (soil moisture will move up into the hay), the length of day, how much dew settled during the night, whether the hay is mowed or conditioned/crimped, laying flat or windrowed, how much wind is blowing, the amount of sunshine, how thick and heavy the crop is, whether it's grass or legume hay, whether you're baling large round or small square bales and how dense the bales are. To answer your question, let the hay lay for a day or more and then take the plant stem and twist it around several times. If it's too wet, the area being twisted will change to a darker color because of the moisture present. You will also be able to hold the twisted area to your lips and feel the moisture.

Many farmers are starting to realise the benefits of feeding or selling higher quality hay in recent years because they have learnt that higher quality means more meat or milk production. As a result some farmers are risking making slightly earlier hay and so increasing the risk of meeting rain head on! However earlier hay making can be greatly assisted by utilising mower conditioners and tedders. Unfortunately the higher the quality is the hay, the higher the losses when bales become wet from rain. This higher quality is due to the higher amount energy (eg. water soluble carbohydrates) and protein in the plant. When hay becomes wet plant respiration, leaching, and possibly mould, microbial and yeast growth later on, all result in dry matter and quality losses."

"text": "How to Reheat a Boneless Prime Ribby SAM ASHE-EDMUNDS Oct. 03, 2017Reheating a boneless prime rib takes patience if you want to prevent it from drying out. You can reheat a prime rib using any heat source, but for safety and the best outcome, use an oven or microwave. However you decide to reheat your prime rib, don’t rush it or use high heat for long periods. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Preparation Step 1Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator and let it reach room temperature. This will ensure the meat reheats evenly. If you put cold meat in the oven or in the microwave, the exterior will cook faster than the interior. Step 2Preheat an oven to 200 to 350 degrees depending on if you want your meat more rare or well done. The temperature will depend on how much meat you are reheating and your desired internal temperature. Step 3Thick slice vegetables such as carrots, celery, potatoes, green peppers or onions if you wish to cook them with the prime rib. In the Oven Step 1Place the meat on a rack inside a roasting pan if you want to let excess fat drip away."

To cut down on the grilling time, you can steam ribs up to two days in advance. Pre-steamed ribs can be grilled in approximately 15 minutes, according to Good Housekeeping. Pork and beef ribs are high in cholesterol and saturated fat. If you have high blood cholesterol or a history of heart disease, consume ribs only occasionally and in small portions.

The longer it takes to get there be more tender they will be. I would not recommend going any lower than 200°F (93ºC) for your cooking temp, even if that means turning the heat up a little at the end to reach your internal temp of 160°F. Put a good rub on, wrap the racks of ribs (individually) in aluminum foil, with some beer or cola in there (or other braising liquid) and let them go. For a video of how to do this watch this episode of \"\" Good Eats \"\" All of that said, I have never tried to let the ribs go 7 hours unattended, so I would try it when you have the time to hang around and monitor the internal temp, again looking for 160°F internal temp and that will give you a means to determine what is \"\" done \"\".share improve this answeredited Aug 28 '12 at 22:34Baffled Cook9,670 13 62 115answered Aug 25 '12 at 18:11Cos Callis14.4k 4 42 762Note to readers without an account who think that the temperatures cited here are incorrect: You should post your own answer (we mods can also convert it to a comment if it is very closely related to this post)."

"text": "\"Equipment Why You Should Really Own a Smoker Joshua Bousel Profile Twitter Facebook Contact48 Printer-Friendly Version [Photograph: Vicky Wasik]Although we've compiled some great tips on how to succeed in kettle smoking, after using my grill for years to smoke meat low-and-slow, I have to say that it wasn't until I graduated to a smoker that I started creating truly worthy barbecue. So what's the difference, and why do you need a smoker? Here's a breakdown between two racks of baby back ribs, one done on the smoker, one on the grill, on the same day, using the same recipe. Temperature [Photograph: Joshua Bousel]The one source of frustration for me when smoking on a kettle is temperature control. A kettle grill needs constant hand-holding, with checks on the temperature almost every 15 minutes to make sure the fire is still burning and running low. In my early, naive years, I was in awe of the pitmasters who could reign in a consistent temperature, showing a true skill in the art of being master of the flames. Then I bought a smoker. The first time I fired that baby up, she wasn't as steady as she is now after years of smoking, but I habitually checked the temperature every 15 minutes and found that it was staying within a 5 to 10 degree range up or down and required no extra work. I began to trust and feel out my smoker, and am at the point now where I can check it relatively infrequently (about every hour), and feel good about firing it up, adding in a brisket, and hitting the sack if I'm doing an overnight cook—that's pretty impossible with a grill. [ Photograph: Joshua Bousel]As you can see from the graph above, both the smoker and kettle took about the same time to get to the temperature."

Dating back to the early 1980s, Joe Traeger’s company first experimented with using wood pellets as fuel for a BBQ smoker as an offshoot of the home heating furnaces he was selling locally that used pellets. As time passed, a thermostat was added to the equation, and the production BBQ smokers fueled by pellets working in “set it and forget it” fashion was in full force."

An oven works well for a large rack of pork ribs if you keep the temperature low and plan on cooking the ribs slowly for most of the day. Oven roasting works well with both baby back and spare ribs. Experiment with different marinades, rubs and sauces to find your favorite flavor combination. Things You'll Need Shallow dish Marinade or spice rub Foil Rimmed baking pan Cooking rack Meat thermometer Step 1Mix a marinade or rub in a large, shallow dish. Brown sugar, paprika, mustard powder and pepper all complement the flavor of the pork when used for a rub. Make a marinade by combining liquids such as Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, spiced mustard with dry ingredients such as brown sugar or pepper. Mix the ingredients to taste. Reserve some marinade for later basting, if you wish. Step 2Lay the pork ribs in the rub or marinade mixture."

"text": "\"How To Grill A Perfect Slab Of Ribs November 8, 2001 | By Raeanne Sarazen food correspondent Everybody has an opinion on what makes fantastic ribs. Depending on which part of the country you're from, techniques and ingredients vary dramatically. Here's the approach we settled on for fall-off-the-bone ribs after consulting several experts and testing their advice. Which ribs? : There are three types of pork ribs: spareribs, baby back and country-style. Spareribs come from the pig's lower rib cage. They are the least meaty choice, but many experts, including Chris Kimball of Cook's Illustrated magazine, prefer them for barbecuing. Back ribs, commonly called baby back ribs, come from the part of the ribcage closest to the hog's backbone, not from a baby pig. Country-style ribs come from the rear of the animal, closer to the legs. They have the most meat."

RECIPE: World Championship Baby Back Ribs Whether you're prepping for an ultimate Labor Day cookout or just trying to celebrate the end of summer with good food, follow Cookston's tips and you can't go wrong at the grill.1. Finding the perfect rack (Memphis Barbecue Co.)\"\"When selecting ribs, there are three different cuts to choose from – baby backs, spare ribs, and St. Louis spare ribs. In Memphis, we tend to prefer the leaner and tenderer baby back ribs rule but in most parts of the country the meatier and more flavorful spare ribs are the cut of choice. At our Memphis Barbecue Co. restaurants we serve spare ribs with the breastbone area trimmed off to create a more uniform rack known as a St. Louis cut. \"\"2. Perfect prep time (i Stock)\"\"Once you have your rack of ribs, flip them over and you’ll notice a shiny thin layer of membrane covering the bones. While many people, especially restaurants, will leave this one, it’s rather tough and will make the ribs chewy when cooked. To remove, simple take a butter knife and insert it between the bone and membrane in one corner of the rack of ribs, use your fingers to separate the membrane slightly, then grasp the membrane with a paper towel and pull the rest of the membrane from the rib bones."

"text": "How to Smoke Beef Brisket Smoking a beef brisket is no easy task if you have never tried it before. Every step from shopping for the right cut to how you lay the beef brisket on the smoker is important to the outcome and the taste of this recipe. Even if you are a first timer, this recipe will provide you the directions you need to smoke a tender brisket while still looking like a professional. Buying the Right Beef Brisket Brisket is known for being a very tender piece of meat that can melt in your mouth. It may surprise you that brisket is an extremely fatty portion of the cow when you are looking at an uncooked one at a grocery store. This is one of the only times when you actually want to purchase a cut of meat with a lot of fat. Brisket is about $3-4 a pound and it should have marbled fat throughout the meat with a solid top layer of fat. This fatty top layer will actually melt down during the smoking process and tenderize the meat. However, the brisket fat will not completely melt and cook out while smoking, so you will need to still trim the fat after it is done. Smoked Beef Brisket Recipe Ingredients1 large beef brisket (10-12 pounds)1 bottle of mustard1 bottle of barbecue seasoning or rub Smoked Beef Brisket Mop Recipe Ingredients2 cups of beer1/2 cup cider vinegar1/2 cup Worcestershire Other Recipe Ingredients1 bag of charcoal1 bottle of lighter fluid or a charcoal chimney starter1 or 2 bags of wood chips of your choice Aluminum foil Smoked Beef Brisket Recipe Directions Start by emerging your wood chips in water or beer an hour to two before you want to put your brisket on the smoker."

"text": "Brisket can be a more expensive cut of meat, making it a scary to smoke for the first time, but you can smoke a brisket in an electric smoker to make the process easier without compromising the great taste of a smoked brisket. How to Smoke Brisket in an Electric Smoker1Choosing the brisket. The key to a good smoked brisket is buying a good piece of meat. You want a brisket that is already as tender as possible. Take the brisket and balance it across your hands. The more the meat bends, the less connective tissues that it has, so find a piece of meat the bends the most, as this piece will be your most tender. Also, look for a brisket that has ample fat marbling and a thick fat layer. The higher fat content will help the meat stay moist during the smoking process. Find a brisket that’s about 10 pounds.2Prepare the brisket. Get your rub ready and massage it on your meat."

Those in its congregation surely take smoking their meats seriously. Sometimes perhaps, too seriously. And for that, I thank them. I don’t come from a long line of home-smoking BBQ ancestry. Nor do I hail from an area that places BBQ on a pedestal and demonizes those that bastardize and cut corners. But this does not preclude one from rolling up his sleeves and fashioning up some succulent, tender and charred briskets of beef. I apologize in advance to anyone from the great state of Texas and to those that are BBQ gods from which may find elements of this write-up offensive and trailing away from the grandeur of tradition. To prepare delicious smoked beef brisket is by no means difficult. From a cooking skill-set perspective, it is remarkably simply."

"text": "\"The Year of the Brisket By Steven Raichlen When I started in this business, barbecue mythology held that it took decades to master how to smoke a brisket properly, transforming this tough ornery muscle from the chest of the steer into meat so juicy it oozes when you press it and so tender you can cut it with the side of a fork. Today, some of America’s foremost brisket masters are still in their twenties (so much for decades of experience), and no, they did not grow up as scions of generations-old barbecue dynasties. Billy Durney of Hometown Bar-B-Que in Red Hook, Brooklyn, for example, ran a bodyguard agency before he became a pit master. Austin’s legendary Aaron Franklin supported himself as a “nail banger” while he waited for his barbecue business to take off. Equally deep-rooted in the mythology of barbecued brisket are notions of complex spice rubs, proprietary slathers and glazes, and barbecue sauces so top secret, if the pit master revealed the formula, he’d have to kill you. For the new generation of brisket masters, the simpler the seasonings, the better. ( Many use only salt and pepper.) And rather than rely on mop sauces (swabbed on during the cooking) and finishing sauces (lacquered on at the end), they achieve succulence through the thermodynamics of their pits and strategic wrapping and resting the meat. As for barbecue sauce, Dan Delaney of Brooklyn’s Brisket Town (and the new Smoke Line on Manhattan’s Highline) discourages it. So what can this new generation of pit masters teach us about smoking the perfect brisket?"

Butcher Paper Method I wrapped my brisket in butcher paper when the brisket was 1/2 to 2/3 finished during the last few competitions the BBQ team competed in. The results were consistent every time. I recently discovered some folks were using butcher paper to wrap their brisket when I read an article in Texas Monthly featuring a BBQ joint in Austin called Franklin's BBQ. I did a few Google searches on the restaurant to see if I could uncover any secrets. I have never been to Franklin's, but I read they serve some of the best BBQ on the planet, not just in Texas. I also read they wrapped the brisket in butcher paper at some point during the cooking process to aid in creating a moist and tender finished product, and I decided to conduct a little experiment to see if butcher paper was the magical key to perfecting brisket I first discovered there are several different types of butcher paper. Some types have a wax finish on one or both sides. Others are made from recycled paper and are pink in color. I chose the old-fashioned brown butcher paper with no wax on it."

A brisket is generally divided into two parts, the flat and the point. For barbecue brisket you will want it undivided. You will also want it untrimmed, also called a \"\"Packer's Cut\"\". This cut will have a strip of fat running through the middle and a layer of fat on the top. The layer on top is called the fat cap. The fat cap is very important, as it will keep the brisket moist while it is smoking. The fat cap should be about 1/3 - 1/4 inch thick.2."

I never quite got it right though...until recently. What I had to wrap my head around was how long it took to correctly smoke a dense cut of meat like brisket and how low the cooking temperature had to be. It is real easy to get impatient when you figure out it takes a long time to do it right. There are other steps, included here, that help make brisket tender and juicy. Ingredients:1) A flat cut beef brisket. I used a 7 pound flat cut because it offers more useable meat and less fat. The point cut has more fat but is very tender.2) Dry Rub. Here is my dry rub recipe.3) 1 quart of beef broth or stock.4) Foil and a couple towels Smoked Beef Brisket: tender and juicy Instructions: I start with a whole or flat cut of beef brisket, washed and patted dry. As stated above, the flat cut offers more useable meat with less fat."

But when the weather is cold—as it currently is throughout much of the US—most of us don’t venture outside to tend a smoker or grill. We’re happy to turn on the oven, though. Which is handy, because brisket “barbecued” in the oven can have flavor that’s almost as good as the outdoor kind. It even takes a bit less time to make. And it requires very little attention from the cook. That gives you more time to enjoy other things—like chatting with your guests at the annual Super Bowl party. This year, maybe you’ll even get to see the whole game. Recipe: Oven Slow-Cooked BBQ Beef Briske t This recipe is a riff off our Oven Slow-Cooked BBQ Spare Ribs and Oven Slow-Cooked BBQ Pulled Pork."

The wife and I have cooked about 20 over the last several years and have yet to see cook times even near that. For example. I cooked one in my UDS yesterday. It was a 15.6 pound un-trimmed brisket. Since it was my first cook ever in a UDS, the temps swayed between 230 and 275, but most of the time just hung around 250F. At 5.5 hours, the meat read 180. Not trusting my thermometer (because in my mind there was no way a near 16 pounder would be done in 5.5 hours at 250F) I waited on my buddy to show up with his thermometer. We both poked em in the brisket side by side and they both read 185. So, mine was right and it was a bit dry in my opinion due to cooking so long. Total cook time was 7 hours."

If I was planning a party to eat around 2:00 pm, I would have to start smoking it at 9 pm the night before (don't really want to stay up all night). Could the brisket be put in a roaster overnight for 5 hours or so than start smoking it at 7 am, or should it be smoked first from 4 pm to 11 pm then put in a roaster til it's time to eat? I've never smoked anything before! ! Answer: Hello. When I smoke briskets, pork shoulders, etc, I only use time as a relative measure. You are really smoking until the internal temperature of the meat you are cooking has reached a done-temperature. I usually smoke a 12 pound brisket at 250-275 degrees F for 8 hours or so, keeping the brisket moist using a mop. When the internal temperature of the brisket reaches 190 or so, it will be done."
