Copied Select a Section 1 /0In recent months, the major foreign policy issue of the 2000 presidential election campaign has been military readiness, with Vice President Al Gore and Texas Governor George W. Bush each addressing the subject. Governor Bush has accused the Clinton Administration of military neglect, referring to the U. S. armed forces as \"\"a military in decline.\"\" 1 Vice President Gore, on the other hand, has countered that \"\"Our military is the strongest and the best in the entire world.\"\" 2While there are clear signs that readiness is a problem for the U. S. military, Al Gore is factually correct when he contends that the U. S. armed forces stand far above any other military force. He is missing a more important point, however. The United States, as the most powerful nation in the world, has responsibilities and national security concerns far beyond those of any other nation. U. S. military readiness cannot be gauged by comparing America's armed forces with other nations' militaries. Instead, the capability of U. S. forces to support America's national security requirements should be the measure of U. S. military readiness. Such a standard is necessary because America may confront threats from many different nations at once." }, { "docid": "D1927309#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Stewart\nFort Stewart", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Fort Stewart Georgia, USAShoulder sleeve insignia of the 3rd Infantry Division Coordinates 31°52′48″N 81°36′27″WCoordinates: 31°52′48″N 81°36′27″WType Army post Site history Built January 1941In use 1941 – 1945 1950 – present Garrison information Garrison 3rd Infantry Division Fort Stewart is a census-designated place and United States Army post in the U.

Sales of goods from commissary department storehouses to military personnel began in 1825, when U. S. Army officers at specified posts could make purchases at cost for their personal use; by 1841, officers could also purchase items for members of their immediate families. [ 2]However, the modern era of sales commissaries is considered to have actually begun in 1867, when enlisted men received the same at-cost purchasing privileges officers had already enjoyed for four decades. No geographic restrictions were placed upon these sales; the commissary warehouse at every Army post could become a sales location, whether they were located on the frontier or near a large city. From the start, commissaries were meant to take on-post retail functions out of the hands of civilian vendors and post traders and allow the Army to \"\"care for its own.\"\" The stores provided wholesome food beyond what was supplied in the official rations, and the savings they provided supplemented military pay. The modern concept of commissary sales stores, which were established to benefit military personnel of all ranks by providing healthful foods at cost, reached its 150th anniversary on July 1, 2017.

By Just Mommies staff Most babies learn to crawl between age 7 and 10 months. 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." } ]

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).

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." }, { "docid": "D2009252#0", "title": "http://www.parenting.com/article/do-babies-need-to-crawl\nDo Babies Need to Crawl?", "text": "\"When Lily Vasey was an infant, her mother, Kate, assumed she'd hit all her milestones on time, just as her older son, William, had.

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." }, { "docid": "D1804448#0", "title": "https://www.verywell.com/when-will-my-preemie-learn-to-walk-2748601\nWhen Will My Preemie Learn to Walk?", "text": "\"Babies Preemies When Will My Preemie Learn to Walk?

For parents of preemies who may have had long NICU stays and multiple health problems, learning to walk is an eagerly anticipated step toward normalcy. For many parents, this developmental milestone marks the end of baby days and the beginning of the toddler years. When Do Preemies Learn to Walk? Among both preemies and full term babies there is a wide range of ages at which children reach milestones like learning to walk. Charts of developmental milestones are general guidelines to help parents estimate approximately when their children will learn new skills. A healthy preemie with an uneventful NICU stay and no major long-term health problems of prematurity will learn to walk according to standard developmental milestones for his corrected age: By 6 to 9 Months: By the time a preemie has reached 9 months corrected age, he or she should be able to stand up when supported by a parent or when holding on to a piece of furniture. By 10 to 12 Months: By the time a preemie is 12 months corrected (one year after his or her original due date), he should be able to pull up on a piece of furniture or crib rail, into a standing position." }, { "docid": "D464733#0", "title": "https://www.bellybelly.com.au/baby/when-do-babies-crawl/\nWhen Do Babies Crawl? 7 Tips To Get Crawling", "text": "When Do Babies Crawl? 7 Tips To Get Crawling By Fiona Peacock in Baby.

They may have been rolling around the room for a couple of months, and inching along on their tummy, or even getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth, they haven't quite figured out how to get their arms and legs coordinated so they can go places. If you're curious to know when your baby is going to start crawling, keep in mind that crawling usually happens after your baby has mastered the art of sitting. Crawling sometimes doesn't happen until several months after they learn to sit, although some babies learn to crawl first and sit soon afterwards. A baby's desire and enthusiasm to crawl will coincide with their desire to lie on their stomach. They may have once hated tummy time, but once they can roll over themselves and get used to laying on their belly, and have then started to get up on all fours, crawling should follow soon after. Floor time play should be encouraged, so your baby can discover the art of holding their head up and pushing up on their hands. A proper crawling position, which is moving along deliberately with the tummy off the ground, is unusual before six months. However, even though your baby has not fully mastered crawling, it doesn't mean that they are totally unable to move at all, so be mindful that they can easily put themselves in dangerous situations. You may turn your back for an instant and turn around to find that they have inched their way over to the TV cord or are pulling at a low-hanging tablecloth!" }, { "docid": "D1465167#0", "title": "https://www.livestrong.com/article/542645-developmental-milestones-related-to-climbing/\nDevelopmental Milestones Related to Climbing", "text": "\"Developmental Milestones Related to Climbingby BRENNA DAVIS Oct. 16, 2015Climbing is a skill children master incrementally, as they reach developmental milestones for various gross motor skills, according to neurologist Lise Eliot. 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.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) says the rise in the average age was a result of more women putting education and careers ahead of having a family. Figures for last year also show that the number of births recorded in England and Wales fell by the largest annual rate for 40 years. The age of mothers has been rising steadily since 1975, when a woman typically gave birth when she was 26.4.

But don't be concerned if that doesn't happen right away. The visual system of a newborn infant takes some time to develop. In the first week of life, babies don't see much detail. Their first view of the world is indistinct and only in shades of gray. It takes several months for your child's vision to develop fully. Knowing the milestones of your baby's vision development (and what you can do to help it along) can insure your child is seeing properly and enjoying his world to the fullest.

My son is almost 9½ months old, and he still hasn't started crawling yet. Is this normal? A. The timing of certain milestones is extremely variable, especially in the area of large motor development (such as sitting, crawling, and walking). While 9 months is the average age that babies start to crawl, it's neither unusual nor abnormal for babies to put off crawling until 11 or 12 months -- or in some cases, not crawl at all. Two main factors seem to influence when babies crawl:1. Baby's personality. Babies with mellow or laid-back personalities generally tend to sit up, crawl, and walk a month or so later than \"\"hyper\"\" or \"\"motor\"\" babies who can't wait to move. Instead, mellow babies tend to be earlier in their visual and social development.2. Baby's weight. Bigger babies tend to sit up, crawl, and walk later than leaner babies." } ]

Some are stubborn characters, while others are sweet and gentle. But in general, the Boston Terrier is an altogether dapper and charming little dog. Playing games and chasing balls are (typically) two of his passions. Seeking companionship is another, for the Boston always wants to be with his family. His large expressive eyes, attentively cocked head, and snorting and snuffling sounds bring out parental feelings in many people.

So how did these canines get the title \"\"bully breed\"\" in the first place? Let's start at the beginning. What's in a Name The term \"\"bully\"\" can invoke a sense of terror and intimidation, so it's no wonder many people believe these breeds pose a danger to society. However, the term actually has nothing to do with the dogs' temperament or behavior, and everything to do with their origin and history.

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." }, { "docid": "D115377#0", "title": "http://www.newhealthadvisor.com/How-Much-Should-a-13-Year-Old-Weigh.html\nWhat Is the Normal Weight for Kids of 13?", "text": "\"What Is the Normal Weight for Kids of 13?

Before going further, let me define “Drop”. Drop numbers are the negative numbers that you see associated with a bat. Figuring out drop is not hard. If you can subtract, you can understand drop. The more negative the drop, the lighter the bat is relative to the length of the bat. So, in general, young kids will swing high drop (more negative) bats and older kids will swing low drop (less negative) bats. An important note about drop for older boys playing baseball: The natural drop of wood is -3. Therefore a 33 inch wood bat will weigh 30 oz. Although colleges and high schools don’t require their baseball players to use wood bats, they do require that players use a bat that has the same drop as a wood bat or -3." }, { "docid": "D395790#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/Why-should-very-young-kids-below-age-2-NOT-be-allowed-to-watch-TV-videos\nWhy should very young kids below age 2 NOT be allowed to watch TV/videos?", "text": "\"Children and Screen Time Parenting Why should very young kids below age 2 NOT be allowed to watch TV/videos?ad by 23and Me Explore your DNA with 23and Me.

How Many Grams of Fat Per Day Should Children Have? Carbohydrate Needs in Children Protein Intake for Kids Protein is a vital, but often overlooked, nutrient. Dietary protein contains amino acids your body needs to produce enzymes and hormones, build muscle tissue, skin and bones and transport nutrients. Kids require more protein per pound of body weight than adults to support their faster growth rate. To help your child build a strong foundation for both physical and cognitive health, make sure they get the right amount of protein per day, which varies depending on age. Ages 1 to 3The Institute of Medicine recommends kids between the ages of one and three eat enough protein to account for 5 to 20 percent of their total calorie intake each day. For a moderately active child who averages 1,200 calories per day, between 60 and 240 of those calories should come from protein sources. More specifically, kids between 1 and 3 should consume 1.1 grams of protein for every kilogram of body weight each day. The recommended dietary allowance, the amount necessary to meet the needs of 97 to 98 percent of healthy kids in this age group, is 13 grams per day." }, { "docid": "D101207#0", "title": "http://learningworksforkids.com/2015/07/how-much-time-do-kids-spend-with-technology/\nHow Much Time Do Kids Spend With Technology?", "text": "How Much Time Do Kids Spend With Technology?

How much time do kids spend with technology? According a Kaiser Foundation study conducted in 2010, children between the ages of eight and 18 spend an average of 7 hours 38 minutes a day with digital media. When the use of more than one digital device at a time is taken into account, they spend more than 10-1/2 hours a day with digital technologies. Although these numbers are incredible, they should not be discounted. The Kaiser Foundation study examined more than a thousand families and had them keep extensive daily diaries to document the amount of time their children spent in front of screens and with other technology. Television is the largest culprit, with kids watching an average of 4 hours 29 minutes a day. Music is the second leading technology, with an average of 2 hours 31 minutes a day.

When the percentiles seem off-kilter, we worry -- but experts say there's rarely reason for concern. A growth chart can be used to monitor where a child's height and weight falls in relation to national averages. For starters, healthy kids come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, and they don't grow at a steady rate, either. Your child can look very different from your friends' kids -- or from his own siblings at the same age -- and still be completely normal. What influences growth At birth: A baby's size when he's born is based partly on genetics. Firstborns tend to be smaller than subsequent children because the uterus is smaller and tighter in first-time moms. Boys are larger than girls, and multiples, boys and girls, are smaller than average. Some environmental factors that can influence a newborn's size:• the mother's weight -- very heavy women tend to have larger babies• weight gain during pregnancy -- a very low gain (under ten pounds) usually means a smaller baby• whether or not Mom smokes or drinks a lot of caffeine -- both of which can limit an unborn baby's growth• a mom's chronic illness -- diabetics, for instance, often have very large babies. During the first two years: A baby's growth is based on a combination of her birth size and the size she's genetically programmed to be: A small newborn who's going to be a big child will grow faster in the first two years than a big baby who's going to be a small child." }, { "docid": "D2791351#0", "title": "http://www.baseball-excellence.com/sbaseballforums/printthread.cfm?Forum=5&Topic=1344\n.", "text": "\"Keith Laird -- 07-08-2002 @ 11:51 PMMy son is 14yrs old, he plays in Australia, is 6ft tall and throws at 77mph he tops out at 80mph .

Without being punished or abused, babies learn basic toilet training skills before they can walk. And they never wear diapers. The situation is very different in the United States, where children may wear diapers for 2, 3 or even 4 years. According to a recent study, African-American parents believe that toilet training should begin around 18 months. Caucasian-American parents believe that training should start even later--after 25 months, on average (Horn et al 2006). These attitudes are new." } ]

A new study suggests 27 to 32 months is the ideal window for moving your child out of diapers. Children who were toilet trained after 32 months were more likely to have urge incontinence -- daytime wetting and bed-wetting -- between ages 4 and 12. And potty training children sooner than 27 months generally doesn't work either, according to background information in the study. Prior research has shown potty training too soon just prolongs the process. \"\" There are two schools of thought on potty training. One is to try to train the kids very, very early, and another says you should wait until kids are older and demonstrating signs of being ready. But there has never been a study scientifically showing when is the best time,\"\" said lead study author Dr. Joseph Barone, chief of urology at Bristol-Myers Squibb Children's Hospital in New Brunswick, N. J. \"\"This study gives parents an idea of when it's a good time to train,\"\" he said.

Older children may participate in before- and after-school programs or private summer school programs. Typical costs: Assuming full-time day care for a 2 year old child on weekdays, according to Runzheimer International, the U. S. national average cost for full-time day care is $611 a month. Large cities such as Boston and New York are most expensive, with average daycare costs of a little more than $1,000 a month. Contacting two Kinder Cares in the San Jose area about infant day care, we received quotes of $300-$330 a week, plus annual fees. Cities like San Antonio, TX, and Jackson, MS, have the lowest average prices, around $350-$400 a month.

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." }, { "docid": "D851969#0", "title": "http://www.med.umich.edu/yourchild/topics/toilet.htm\nPotty Training", "text": "\"potty-training.jpg Most children are ready to begin the toilet training process between 24 to 27 months but some children will be ready earlier or later than that. 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.

It is a mantra that can be traced to the 1960s and leading paediatrician T.

By the '70s, the message was that toilet training before a child was ready could cause psychological damage. Nappy days ... Who should decide when you toilet train? But this message is now being challenged by health professionals and parenting experts, such as author and childhood nurse Robin Barker. They say the philosophy of waiting until a child is ready, combined with the use of disposables, has meant children are staying in nappies longer. '' The average age of children being trained has slipped from two to 2½ to three or even four in the United States,'' Barker says. While she does not promote a return to the draconian measures of the 1940s and '50s, she believes the pendulum for letting children decide has swung too far. ''" } ]

In addition, the rate at which a dog ages varies depending on which stage he is in, with the biggest jump being during the first year of puppy-hood.

Although this list of the longest living dog breeds doesn’t contain the Australian Cattle Dog, the world record for the longest living dog is an ACD named Bluey. Bluey passed away in 1939 at the ripe age of 29-years-old! Pretty amazing when you think about it, and it makes us wish all of our dogs lived that long. Curious to see what other breeds hold records?

While there are no hard and fast guarantees in terms of canine longevity, it is a well-known fact that some dogs are sure to live longer than others. One of the most relevant factors that affect doggie life expectancy is size, but other factors also come into play just as they do in humans, specifically diet, exercise, and various genetic diseases that seem to affect certain breeds. Always check these factor with a veterinarian when you take a dog into your family. Also remember that generally the smaller the breed, the longer the dog is likely to live. For instance terriers, Dachshunds (or sausage dogs), Pomeranians and Chihuahuas are all likely to have a relatively long lifespan, while the so-called giant dogs including Great Danes, Saint Bernards and Irish Wolfhounds all have a pitifully short life expectancy. Oldest Dogs Ever The oldest dog ever is believed to have been a small mixed breed called Max from Louisiana that died in 2013 at the age of 29 years and nine months. Max belonged to Janelle and Billy De Rouen, who ‘adopted’ him from a sugar cane farmer in 1983. He was said to be a really healthy animal, but began having seizures in his 29th year, purely from his age. A cross between a Beagle, a Dachshund and a terrier of some sort, his claim to fame was approved by Guinness World Records, but he died before the title of World’s Oldest Dog could be published in the annual publication, the Guinness Book of World Records." }, { "docid": "D2582469#0", "title": "http://www.russiandog.net/what-is-the-normal-life-span-of-a-shih-tzu-dog.html\nWhat is the lifespan of a Maltese Shih Tzu dog?", "text": "\"What is the lifespan of a Maltese Shih Tzu dog?pisces: What is the normal life span of a Shih Tzu?

Can you guess what the most common cross breed dog is? It’s the Poodle. Maybe that’s because the Poodle is the only dog that comes in 3 sizes — all of which are very popular. So that means there are many more dogs (toy, miniature, and standard sizes) that can be paired with a Poodle. It probably also has something to do with the fact that Poodles have some fantastic features and characteristics — like they’re super smart, their fur is hypoallergenic, and they don’t shed. The Day I Realized Hybrid Dog Breeds Were Here To Stay I’ve always had dogs: Before I knew better (when I was in college), I bought purebred dogs and raised them from puppyhood through their senior years. Since college (which is most of my adult life), I’ve rescued mixed breed dogs — or mutts — instead and have always raised them from puppies to old age as well. Currently, I have a Labrador Retriever / Great Pyrenees (which we call a Great Lab), a Shepherd / Beagle (which we call a Sheagle), and a Golden Retriever / Great Pyrenees (a Golden Pyrenees).

You'll want to know if your Maltese is growing at a good rate, and that once he is at his adult size, that he is neither under or overweight.

The worldwide average age of menarche is very difficult to estimate accurately, and it varies significantly by geographical region, race, ethnicity and other characteristics. Various estimates have placed it at 13. [ 1] Some estimates suggest that the median age of menarche worldwide is 14, and that there is a later age of onset in Asian populations compared to the West.

This is called perimenopause, and perimenopause symptoms can be just as challenging to deal with. While perimenopause and menopause are both natural parts of aging, and therefore not necessarily “problems to solve,” it’s normal and expected to experience changes and certain symptoms during this transition. Just as with pregnancy, labor and other reproductive changes (even puberty), taking steps to manage your expectations and lower symptoms can help make this sometimes-unpredictable time period a bit easier. According to research done by the Women’s Mood and Hormone Clinic at the University of California, San Francisco, “The biggest time for changes for women in terms of behavior and symptoms is in the perimenopause years, when estrogen and progesterone fluctuate the most in the female brain.” ( 1)While not every woman going through the stages of menopause experiences side effects or any decrease in quality of life, many do. The degree to which you struggle with perimenopause symptoms and menopause has a lot to do with several factors that make your body unique, including your personal medical history, genetics, the quality of your diet, how active you are and your stress levels. By making certain lifestyle changes before and during the phases of menopause — for example, regarding the foods you choose to eat (and don’t eat), herbal medicines or supplements you take, and stress-reducing practices you make apart of your regular routine — you’re likely be able to find some relief from menopause and perimenopause symptoms and better handle the hormonal changes associated with this important time of life. What Is Perimenopause? A women’s reproductive life is split into three major time periods: ( 2)The years of active reproduction/fertility The menopausal years (including perimenopause)And the postmenopause years The process that most people refer to as “menopause” can actually be divided into three parts: perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause." }, { "docid": "D753672#0", "title": "http://www.infertile.com/beating-biological/\nBeating Your Biological Clock â How It Works", "text": "Beating Your Biological Clock – How It Works Search IVF Egg Freezing Ovarian Tissue Freezing Audio & Video If you have any questions, you may call us at (314) 576-1400.

What You Were Born With Remember, women are born with all the eggs they are ever going to have, and they don’t make any new eggs during their lifetime. Women are born with approximately two million eggs in their ovaries, but about eleven thousand of them die every month prior to puberty. As a teenager, a woman has only three hundred thousand to four hundred thousand remaining eggs, and from that point on, approximately one thousand eggs are destined to die each month. This phenomenon is completely independent of any hormone production, birth control pills, pregnancies, nutritional supplements, or even health or lifestyle. Nothing stops this inexorable death of approximately one thousand eggs every month regardless of ovulation, ovarian inhibition, or stimulation. Whenever the woman runs out of her supply of eggs, the ovaries cease to make estrogen, and she goes through menopause." }, { "docid": "D1031290#0", "title": "http://www.themedicalquestions.com/symptoms/what-causes-the-menstrual-cycle-to-stop.html\nWhat causes the menstrual cycle to stop", "text": "\"Home > Symptoms >What causes the menstrual cycle to stop Health related question in topics Menstrual Cycle .

By Tracee Cornforth | Reviewed by Meredith Shur, MDUpdated March 08, 2018Share Pin Email Printiiievgeniy / Getty Images Your period occurs when the lining of your uterus sheds. In order for your normal period to come each month, your body has to ovulate, which means an egg must be released from an ovary. Typically, your period will come about 12 to 16 days after you ovulate, assuming you did not get pregnant. Normal Menstruation Normal menstruation can last from one to seven days, although for most women with regular menstrual cycles, their period lasts an average of three to five days. It's important to note that nothing is wrong if your period is a couple days longer or shorter than the average three to five days. In other words, your period is unique to you, and the amount you bleed and the number of days will not be the same as everyone else. In addition, your period can vary a bit from cycle to cycle and this is normal. Factors Affecting the Length of Your Period Sometimes, though, lifestyle changes, birth control methods, and certain medical problems can affect your period more significantly.

If a woman does not become pregnant, then she will have a period approximately every 28 days. Why do women menstruate?

A fertilized egg will most likely result in pregnancy, while an unfertilized one will lead to your period, called menstruation or menses. While this sounds simple, your reproductive system is actually an intricate organism and there is a lot that goes on inside of you before that egg can be released. The Average Cycle As the female fetus develops in the womb, she not only forms her ovaries, but also all the eggs she will ever produce. Shortly before birth, a female fetus has a few million immature eggs stored in her ovaries. Yet, by the onset of puberty, this number has already dwindled down to about 400,000. During the menstrual years, a woman will only release about 300 eggs. While each menstrual cycle usually sees the ovaries releasing one egg, what many women may not realize, though, is that their body actually prepares about 20 immature eggs every month for release. However, only one egg will prove to be dominant and this is the one that gets released for ovulation. A woman's reproductive years begin in puberty when she starts menstruating and ends when she enters menopause, usually between the age of 45 and 50." }, { "docid": "D1216496#0", "title": "http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/menopause/basics/causes/CON-20019726\nOverview", "text": "Overview Menopause is the time that marks the end of your menstrual cycles.

Detection Ovulation calendar Disorders Induction Ovulation refers to the release of an egg during menstruation in females. Part of the ovary called the ovarian follicle discharges an egg. The egg is also known as an ovum, oocyte, or female gamete. It is only released on reaching maturity. After release, the egg travels down the fallopian tube, where it may be met by a sperm and become fertilized. Ovulation and hormonal release during the menstrual cycle are controlled by a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. It sends signals instructing the anterior lobe and pituitary gland to secrete luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). It is useful to know when ovulation is likely to occur, as a woman is most fertile during this time, and more likely to conceive.

There are many different types of swelling but almost all of them are mysterious as to the underlying cause. Granulomatous meningoencephalomyelitis (GME) has been reported in the Pug. Other types of encephalomyelitis have been reported in the Pug, Maltese, French Bulldog, Yorkshire terrier, and Pomeranian dogs. Young adult toy breeds and other small breed dogs are mostly affected. These are devastating conditions that have an abrupt onset (the signs come on suddenly) and the dog continues to get worse until he/she passes away. This is thought to be an immune dysfunction in which the body’s own immune system attacks the brain. The traditional treatment is to suppress the immune system with potent medications (prednisone) but these have a lot of side effects. Veterinarians from the Koret School of Veterinary Medicine, Israel, treated 20 dogs with this condition with an additional medication called mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). The hope was that this would allow the dog to take less of the other medications that have so many side effects." }, { "docid": "D1145608#0", "title": "http://www.petpugdog.com/pug-sleeping-habits\nPug Sleeping Habits", "text": "Become a free Member The GIANT Book Pug Sleeping Habits Overview Just about any Pug owner will agree that this breed gets a bit of a bad rep in regard to sleep. The Pug is sometimes thought of as a lazy breed; a dog that takes over your favorite chair and sleeps his life away, snoring as if he doesn't have a care in the world. While it may be true that a Pug does tend to snore - and make a few other interesting noises - he does not sleep more than any other breed and he is not lazy at all. In fact, Pugs are super animated, very personable and eager canines that oftenare curious, emotional and expressive. They thrive on attention and often following their owner's mood and vibes. If you sleep a lot, your Pug is not going to pace around the room; he'll be right by your side. And if you're active, he'll want to be right there as well; in fact many Pugs need to have limitations set because they'll push themselves to far and can have overheating and breathing issues. Emma, 20 months old Photo courtesy of owner Helen Gastaldo One element that may make it seem as if he does sleep a lot is that he is so obvious when he does it. Other dogs may retreat quietly away and an hour later, an owner may wonder 'where's my dog?' while the Pug won't be shy about mushing right up to you or taking over your spot on the sofa to spread out and snooze." }, { "docid": "D2863845#0", "title": "https://www.nextdaypets.com/Pug.htm\nPug", "text": "\"Breed Information Breed Group: Toy Pictures Video Pictures of Pugs For Sale View More Pictures Characteristics Size: Grooming Needs: Exercise Needs: Good With Dogs: Watchdog Ability: View Puppies Overview The Pug has unknown origins which have triggered debate among Pug lovers.

S. retirees say they actually retired is now at 61, up from 57 in the early 1990s. These results are from Gallup's annual Economy and Personal Finance survey, conducted April 4-14. The average retirement age has crept up by four years over the past two decades, from 57 in 1991 to the current 61. Because most of the uptick came before the 2008 recession, this shift may reflect more than just a changing economy. It may also indicate changing norms about the value of work, the composition of the workforce, the decrease in jobs with mandatory retirement ages, and other factors. Whereas the average current retiree stopped working at age 61, those still working expect to work well beyond that age. The average nonretired American currently expects to retire at age 66, up from 60 in 1995. Currently, 37% of nonretired Americans say they expect to retire after age 65, 26% at age 65, and 26% before age 65. The most notable change over time is the increase in those expecting to work past age 65 -- the 37% this year is up from 22% a decade ago and 14% in 1995. Meanwhile, the percentage of nonretirees who say they expect to retire before age 65 has declined to 26% from 49% in 1995." } ]

For example, the average Cal STRS participant retires at age 62, which is the current earliest age one may collect Social Security retirement benefits. At age 62, the average Cal STRS retiree collects 56% of their final salary in the form of a pension, whereas, depending on their income, the average Social Security recipient collects between 29% and 36% of their final salary in the form of a retirement benefit. At age 65, the oldest age necessary to collect the full Cal STRS benefit, a Cal STRS retiree with 35 years experience will collect a retirement benefit equal to 84% of their final salary. At age 65 a Social Security recipient will collect a retirement benefit between 30% and 35% of their final salary. The study then examined how much more a Cal STRS participant might have accumulated based on having 8.0% of their paycheck withheld vs. only 6.2% for a Social Security participant. For a Cal STRS paticipant retiring at age 65 with a final income of $80,000, the study estimated the value of this extra 1.8% in annual contributions to equal $155,814 after 35 years of withholding. This is equal to 3.6 years of the difference in the amount of a typical annual Cal STRS pension and a typical Social Security annual retirement benefit, i.e., it does not come close to closing the gap between the typical Social Security benefit vs the typical Cal STRS benefit. A more in-depth analysis of contribution comparisions between Cal STRS and Social Security will be the topic of a subsequent study. In general, the study calculated the average annual Cal STRS pension to exceed the average annual Social Security benefit by between 1.5 and 1.9 times for those retiring at age 62, and by between 2.4 and 2.8 times for those retiring at age 65. * * *" }, { "docid": "D610736#0", "title": "https://www.rrb.gov/NewsRoom/NewsReleases/Q%26A%3A%20Comparison%20of%20Benefits%20Under%20Railroad%20Retirement%20and%20Social%20Security\n.", "text": "Q&A: Comparison of Benefits Under Railroad Retirement and Social Security March 2017QA1703.pdf (119.57 KB)Employers and employees covered by the Railroad Retirement Act pay higher retirement taxes than those covered by the Social Security Act, so that railroad retirement benefits remain higher than social security benefits, especially for career employees who have 30 or more years of service.

But it was more than a century later, in 1875, before the American Express Company established a formal corporate plan (Allen, et al., 1992). During the next century, some 400 plans were established, primarily in the railroad, banking, and public utility industries. The most significant growth has occurred since the mid 1940s. In 1992, private pension plans numbered more than 708,000 and covered more than 45 million active participants (Employee Benefit Research Institute, 1995). The statutory tax treatment of pensions was formally legislated through the Revenue Act of 1921, which exempted interest income of stock bonus and profit-sharing plans from current taxation and deferred tax to employees until distribution. Statutes enacted since 1921 have permitted employers to deduct a reasonable amount in excess of the amount necessary to fund current pension liabilities (1928); made pension trusts irrevocable (1938); and established nondiscriminatory eligibility rules for pension coverage, contributions, and benefits (1942). These provisions were incorporated into the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) of 1954 and, along with major modifications made by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (TRA ’86), constitute the basic rules governing the tax qualification of pension plans. 1The tax treatment accorded qualified plans provides incentives both for employers to establish such plans and for employees to participate in them." }, { "docid": "D3461202#0", "title": "http://money.usnews.com/money/blogs/planning-to-retire/2012/05/08/the-new-ideal-retirement-age-67\nThe New Ideal Retirement Age: 67", "text": "The age the typical worker expects to retire is no longer 65.

Since the mid-1990s, the average retirement age has risen from 62 to 64 for men and from 60 to 62 for women, according to a new Center for Retirement Research at Boston College analysis of Census Bureau data. The trend toward later retirement has been driven by declines in traditional pensions and retiree health benefits offered by employers, changes in the way Social Security benefits are calculated, better education and health, and less strenuous jobs that people are able to perform at older ages. [ See 10 Key Retirement Ages to Plan For . ] There was a large decline in the retirement age after World War II, which can be attributed to the availability of Social Security benefits, the expansion of employer-provided traditional pensions, and later the introduction of Medicare. However, the trajectory of earlier retirement ages stopped around the mid-1980s, and since then has gradually increased, Boston College found. In this study the average retirement age is defined as the age at which the labor force participation rate drops below 50 percent. Here’s a look at why the retirement age is now climbing: Fewer workplace benefits. The shift from traditional pensions to 401 (k)s made retirement a more risky prospect because retirees must manage their investments and control spending on their own. The decline of employer-provided retiree health insurance gives employees an additional incentive to keep working until they qualify for Medicare at age 65.

This brief proceeds in three steps. The first section describes the long-run decline in labor force participation of men. The second looks at the turnaround that began in the mid-1980s. The third section discusses the trends for women, which combine their increasing labor force activity, on the one hand, and incentives to retire, on the other. The final section concludes that labor force activity of both men and women has increased significantly since the mid-1980s as many incentives now encourage work. Several hurdles remain to continued increases, however, including the sluggish economic recovery, the move away from career employment, the availability of Social Security at 62, and employer resistance to part-time employment.

Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of these treatments may be recommended in a treatment plan. Because different tumors respond differently to each type of treatment, it is crucial that an accurate diagnosis and stage of advancement, determining what other organs are involved, be made by your veterinarian. This usually involves taking small samples of the tumor, either with a needle or a biopsy instrument, and sending the samples to a laboratory for analysis.

Breast cancer Breast cancer is the most common cancer that women may face in their lifetime (except for skin cancer). It can occur at any age, but the risk goes up as you get older. Because of certain factors, some women may have a greater chance of having breast cancer than others. But every woman should know about breast cancer and what can be done about it. What you can do The best defense is to find breast cancer early – when it’s small, has not spread, and is easier to treat. Finding breast cancer early is called “early detection.” The American Cancer Society recommends the following for breast cancer early detection: Women ages 40 to 44 should have the choice to start annual breast cancer screening with mammograms if they wish to do so." }, { "docid": "D251443#0", "title": "http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/vulvar-cancer/basics/causes/CON-20043483\nOverview", "text": "Print Overview Vulvar cancer Vulvar cancer is a type of cancer that occurs on the outer surface area of the female genitalia.

There are very few foods that actually have therapeutic levels of vitamin D naturally and even fortified foods do not contain enough vitamin D to support your health needs. Despite its name, vitamin D is not a regular vitamin. It's actually a steroid hormone that you are designed to obtain primarily through sun exposure, not via your diet. Just How Widespread Is Vitamin D Deficiency? Before the year 2000, very few doctors ever considered the possibility that you might be vitamin D deficient. But as the technology to measure vitamin D became inexpensive and widely available, more and more studies were done, and it became increasingly clear that vitamin D deficiency was absolutely rampant. For example, according to one of the leading vitamin D researchers, Dr. Michael Holick: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that 32 percent of children and adults throughout the US were vitamin D deficient -- and this is grossly underestimated as they used vitamin D levels that were not consistent with optimal health. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey found that 50 percent of children aged one to five years, and 70 percent of children between the ages of six and 11, are deficient or insufficient in vitamin DResearchers such as Dr. Holick estimate that 50 percent of the general population is at risk of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency Researchers have also noted that vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in adults of all ages who always wear sun protection (which blocks vitamin D production) or limit their outdoor activities. 1 People with increased skin pigmentation (such as those whose ancestors are from Africa, the Middle East, or India) are also at risk, as are the elderly." }, { "docid": "D1905239#0", "title": "http://www.chop.edu/conditions-diseases/pten-hamartoma-tumor-syndrome\nWhat is PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome?", "text": "\"What is PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome?

Other symptoms include rapid increase in breast size, redness, persistent itching, skin hot to touch. IBC often initially resembles mastitis. Only about 50-75% cases have the typical presentation.

Ask yourself this question: How many colors are in your favorite foods? The answer will tell you how much lutein you’re getting. Just like many other types of antioxidants, lutein is found in brightly colored foods like fruits and vegetables — especially leafy greens and types that are deep orange or yellow. Along with another vision-boosting antioxidant called zeaxanthin, lutein is abundant in anti-inflammatory, cancer-fighting foods including kale, broccoli and many other green vegetables, eggs yolks and citrus fruits — all of which help protect the eyes from oxidative stress. The average person who eats the Standard American Diet is likely running low in lutein, in addition to other important antioxidants. The human body cannot synthesize lutein or zeaxanthin on its own, which means we must obtain these important nutrients from our diet (or in some cases, supplements). You already know that filling up on plenty of fruits and veggies is good for you — and here’s just another example of why that is. Although it’s best to get enough lutein naturally through a healthy diet high in anti – inflammatory foods, nutritional supplements or fortified foods and beverages can also be used by some people in order to help increase lutein levels.

In 2005, these two programs combined paid more than $120 billion in cash benefits to nearly 11.3 million disabled individuals (and 1.7 million dependents). Both programs have grown substantially in cost and number of participants, although the level of growth has varied from time to time. Both programs have had periods of contraction, mainly in the early 1980s, and, for SSI children, in the late 1990s under welfare reform.

Social Security currently provides financial protection to more than 158 million workers and their families, and it pays approximately $805 billion annually in benefits to more than 64.3 million Americans who receive monthly Social Security retirement, disability, or survivors’ benefits. Created during the Great Depression of the 1930s, Social Security was the first “entitlement” program created by the federal government, designed to help Americans during the latter years of life or those with disabilities. In recent years, concerns have been growing over how the federal government will maintain the program as retirees will soon outnumber workers whose payroll taxes fund the system. In 2005, Social Security reform was arguably the hottest political topic in Washington D. C., as President George W. Bush tried to push through a radical change involving personal retirement accounts, a plan that failed dramatically. The solvency and potential vulnerability of Social Security continues to be the subject of much heated political debate, particularly during times of economic distress and election-year fever.more History: Because it was created during the New Deal, many have credited President Franklin Roosevelt for establishing Social Security. However, the idea was really that of maverick Democratic Senator Huey Long of Louisiana, who proposed the “Every Man a King” program in 1930. Long proposed that every person receive an old-age pension when they reached the age of 60. On June 8, 1934, the Committee on Economic Security sponsored the first-ever national town-hall forum on Social Security and drafted a detailed legislative proposal for a social security program. The Social Security Act was passed in August 1935." }, { "docid": "D254065#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicaid\nMedicaid", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Not to be confused with Medicare.

S. welfare system would be an unlikely model for anyone designing a welfare system from scratch. The dozens of programs that make up the “system” have different (sometimes competing) goals, inconsistent rules, and over-lapping groups of beneficiaries. Responsibility for administering the various programs is spread throughout the executive branch of the federal government and across many committees of the U. S. Congress. Responsibilities are also shared with state, county, and city governments, which actually deliver the services and contribute to funding. The six programs most commonly associated with the “social safety net” include: (1) Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), (2) the Food Stamp Program (FSP), (3) Supplemental Security Income (SSI), (4) Medicaid, (5) housing assistance, and (6) the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). The federal government is the primary funder of all six, although TANF and Medicaid each require a 25–50 percent state funding match. The first five programs are administered locally (by the states, counties, or local federal agencies), whereas EITC operates as part of the regular federal tax system. Outside the six major programs are many smaller government-assistance programs (e.g., Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children [WIC]; general assistance [GA]; school-based food programs; and Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program [LIHEAP]), which have extensive numbers of participants but pay quite modest benefits. Welfare reform, brought about through the passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) of 1996, significantly altered the rules for delivering income support, but it was narrowly focused on one program.

( See Figure 1.) This figure has changed little in the past few years. In a December 2011 op-ed, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney warned ominously of the dangers that the nation faces from the encroachment of the “Entitlement Society,” predicting that in a few years, “we will have created a society that contains a sizable contingent of long-term jobless, dependent on government benefits for survival.” “ Government dependency,” he wrote, “can only foster passivity and sloth.” [ 2] Similarly, former Senator Rick Santorum said that recent expansions in the “reach of government” and the spending behind them are “systematically destroying the work ethic.” [ 3]The claim behind these critiques is clear: federal spending on entitlements and other mandatory programs through which individuals receive benefits is promoting laziness, creating a dependent class of Americans who are losing the desire to work and would rather collect government benefits than find a job. Such beliefs are starkly at odds with the basic facts regarding social programs, the analysis finds.

Of the estimated 173 million workers who will pay Social Security taxes in 2017, about 12 million will pay more because of the increase in the taxable-maximum amount. This adjustment, which takes effect Jan. 1, is based on the government's estimate of real wage growth in the recent past. The 2017 jump in the taxable-earnings cap is the largest one-year increase since 1983, in part because federal law kept the taxable maximum unchanged for 2016 due to a lack of cost-of-living increase in Social Security benefits. Social Security is financed by a 12.4 percent tax on wages up to the taxable-earnings cap, with half (6.2 percent) paid by workers and the other half paid by employers. This taxable wage base usually goes up each year—it rose from $117,000 in 2014 to $118,500 in 2015, but stayed put at that level for 2016. By Jan. 1 of each year, U. S. employers must adjust their payroll systems to account for the higher taxable wage base under the Social Security payroll tax—and should notify affected employees that more of their paychecks will be subject to payroll withholding. Those whose compensation exceeds the previous $118,500 maximum will see a decrease in net take-home pay if they don't receive an annual raise that makes up for the payroll tax's bigger bite.

Aside from their outrageously fun personalities and the companionship they can provide, goats are also immensely useful for their production of milk, meat, mohair, cashmere, and natural fertilizer. Raising goats is advantageous because these animals are relatively small, thus they require less pasture and food to remain healthy and productive. Indeed, like urban backyard chickens, many cities and towns permit homeowners to keep goats, so the urban farmer or prepper can also raise and benefit from these animals. In a more rural or countryside location, goats can also be rotated between pastures and their dung can be naturally spread out or collected and concentrated for use as organic fertilizer on your food crops. In terms of milk production, goat milk has been rising in popularity in recent years and with good reason. Known for its lower lactose content, goat milk is generally easier to digest and can be used in making yogurt, butter, ice cream and other dairy products as well as soap. Although the flavor of the milk often varies from breed to breed and from goat to goat, some of the most popular breeds of dairy goat include: The Alpine goat, also frequently known as the French Alpine due to its roots in the French Alps, is a very popular breed for milking, known for relatively high yields of 1 – 2 gallons a day.

This beautiful cat breed is depicted in the middle ages, from insignia on Roman shields to their likeness found even earlier stamped on Hittite coins. Ancient spiritual stories take them back further still, residing on Noah's Ark and marked by Allah with the auburn coloring on their heads. Despite its recognition and popularity today, the Van Cat is a very ancient breed. It is named for Lake Van located in the country of Turkey. So named because it was in this region where they were more recently discovered. In 1955 two British photographers, Sonia Halliday and Laura Lushington, acquired two kittens while visiting the region and returned with them to Britain. Cat fanciers began to take notice and in 1969 the Turkish Van Cats became fully recognized in Britain where it is known as the Turkish Cat. The Turkish Van is known for its unique coloration.

Iris Tanner and Barbara Azan from The Cat Fanciers' Association Complete Cat Book Graceful, elegant, refined yet possessed of strength, intelligence and a will that belies its delicate appearance. This is the study in contradictions that comprises the Turkish Angora. No other breed has a coat so sensuously silky or a body that combines the elongated shape of the Oriental breeds with the solidity and firmness of a more moderate cat. Their extra large, erect ears are set high and close together on the head, giving the Turkish Angora a unique \"\"bunny-rabbit\"\" look, which is enhanced by large, soulful eyes. Another distinctive feature is the tail, which billows out into a glorious plume of fur. The beauty of these exquisite creatures is best appreciated by seeing them in motion (which tends to be during most of their waking hours). Ornamental though they may be, sitting still to be admired is not one of their favorite pastimes. The hidden treasures that may be con-cealed in an owner's purse or the ray of sunlight that briefly flickers across a room are far more important to them. As a Turkish Angora leaps off in pursuit, it moves with fluid, coordinated grace, its gossamer coat shimmering with the movement of each muscle and its tail carried proudly erect, like a flag. The high activity level, ethereal appearance and predilection for height make the Turkish Angora appear only loosely anchored to the earth." }, { "docid": "D1524890#0", "title": "http://www.catbreedsjunction.com/turkish-van-cats.html\nTurkish Van CatsOrigin and History", "text": "Turkish Van Cats Origin and History Turkish Van cats are natural breeds, meaning that man played no part in their development.

These rare and ancient cat breeds are considered treasures in their homeland. The word 'Van' is commonly used to name lakes, towns and villages and naming the cat Turkish Van came as no surprise. Whilst these white cats have existed in Turkey since the 1700's , it was not until 1955 that the 'West' discovered them. Two British tourists, Sonia Halliday and Laura Lushington, visiting Turkey were so enamored with the cat, that they brought two kittens back to the United Kingdom. The kittens, Van Atilla and Van Guzelli Iskenderun, were bred true, confirming that this was indeed a natural cat breed.

Update: For psychology class. Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The age at which puberty begins can vary widely between individuals and between populations. Age of puberty is affected by both genetic factors and by environmental factors such as nutritional state or social circumstances. Timing may also be affected by environmental factors (exogenous hormones and environmental substances with hormone-like effects) and there is even evidence that life experiences may play a role as well. Ethnic/racial differences have been recognized for centuries. For example, the average age of menarche in various populations surveyed in the last several decades has ranged from 12.0 to 18.5 years. The earliest mean is reported for African-American girls and the oldest for high altitude subsistence populations in Asia. However, it is clear that much of the higher age averages reflect nutritional limitations more than genetic differences and can change within a few generations with a substantial change in diet." }, { "docid": "D2172497#0", "title": "http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Puberty/Pages/Complications.aspx\nEarly or delayed puberty", "text": "Page contents Early puberty Delayed puberty Puberty is when a child's body begins to develop and change as they become an adult.

However, it's perfectly normal for puberty to begin at any point between the ages of 8 and 13 in girls and 9 and 14 in boys. There's not usually any need to worry if puberty doesn't start around the average age, but it's a good idea to speak to your GP for advice if it starts before 8 or hasn't started by around 14.

Puberty is considered early (precocious) if it occurs before the age of 8 years in girls and 9 years in boys and is considered late or delayed if it has not begun prior to the age of 13 years for girls and 14 years of age for boys. Recent studies have shown that puberty is occurring at an increasingly earlier age in children.

Girls with Turner syndrome will also have distinctive features and associated health conditions, some of which may be apparent from birth.

Other features that may have developed in the womb include:thick neck tissueswelling of the neck (cystic hygroma)being a small babyheart conditionskidney abnormalities Growth Babies with Turner syndrome may grow at a normal rate until three years of age. After this age, their growth slows down. At puberty (usually at age 8 to 14), a girl with Turner syndrome will not have the normal growth spurt, even with female oestrogen hormone replacement (HRT). Girls with Turner syndrome are typically short in relation to the height of their parents.

This is much longer than most other small pets, including other rodents such as mice (1-3 years), gerbils (2-4 years), and hamsters (2-3 years). Your guinea pigs' life span will depend on a number of factors, such as how well they are cared for, their diet, and whether they suffer from any serious illnesses during their life. Having said that, there is only so much you can do to lengthen your cavy's lifespan, and even the most well cared for pet may die young through no fault of the owners. The best advice is to enjoy every minute you have with your pet, so that you have many happy memories to look back on after they pass away. Guinea pigs live longer than many small pets, at up to 6 years. Commitment Because guinea pigs live for so long, you should take this into account when deciding whether they are the right pet for you. Remember that you will need to feed them and give them water every single day during that time, and you will also have to play with them and clean out their cage frequently. If this sounds like too much of a commitment then you might be best off considering another animal which does not live so long, and which will place less demands on your time. Children If you are thinking about buying guinea pigs for your children, you need to think about whether they will still want to care for them 1, 2, or 5 years down the line." } ]

Hamsters can breed at just 3 weeks of age, which means your knowledgeable action is necessary to separate pups from their mother and put them into gender-specific housing groups as soon as they are weaned. Failure to do this can result in lots of unwanted hamster babies in a couple fortnights. Hamster Litters A typical female hamster can give birth to as many as 20 pups in a litter, though six to 12 is average. The mother will nurse and care for her babies the first two to three weeks of life, after which they will be able to transition to a commercial hamster diet.

These pets have been bred in captivity for years and are ideal for a variety of pet owners because of their small space requirements, quiet nature, ease of handling and relatively simple husbandry requirements. Diet is an important part of the care of these pets and each species should have its own specific nutritional needs met. A rabbit is not a rodent is not a ferret, and so on. * TIP: Find at least one healthy treat food that your pet likes and feed a small amount daily to check on how good your pet’s appetite is. If your pet will not eat its treat food, then there may be other problems brewing and you need to keep a close eye on your pet for health problems. Water Clean water must be accessible to any animal at all times. Some species, such as chinchillas and gerbils, require less water due to physiological adaptations to living in a dry environment, but they still need a water source always available.

She looks happy and healthy in that photo, you don't say how old she is so if she is around 4-6weeks old, she would be around the ideal size. As long as she is eating and behaving ''normal'', then she is fine. The only way you would get a ''purebred'' ''breed'' of guinea pig is from years of breeding one coat type, and unfortunatly it looks like she is just a guinea pig version of ''heinz'', so therefore you probably won't find pictures of her exact ''breed'', but many breeders will breed a texel to a rex (we have one such boar, but he has more texel, as he is sort of more long haired.

They were domesticated by the Incas over 500 years ago and were brought over to Europe by Spaniards. It is thought that the term 'guinea' may be a mispronunciation of the South American country of Guyana. Alternatively, it could be that when Spaniards called at ports in Guinea on the African coast when returning from South America, and then arrived back in Spain, people thought that the animals had come from Guinea. Guinea pigs are used as a source of food in their native regions. Folk doctors in the Andes use guinea pigs to detect illness in people. They believe that when the rodent is pressed up against a sick person, it will squeak when near the source of disease.

Despite their name, they are most definitely neither pigs, nor from Guinea- they are part of the rodent family, and it is thought that they originate from the Andes mountain range. Guinea pigs make a good first pet for children, as although they need gentle handling and can be nervous, they very rarely bite, even when alarmed. If you're considering a pet guinea pig for you or your children, here is some basic care information and a checklist of equipment to help you on your way. How many guinea pigs to keep Guinea pigs, like rabbits, live in large extended family groupings in the wild, and should not be kept alone if it can be avoided. Guinea pigs live happily together in same sex pairs (again like rabbits, they are prolific breeders and so should not be kept in male/ female couplings unless you intend to breed) or small groups. It's usually advised to introduce guinea pigs to each other when they are young, and keep them together for the duration of their lives. It used to be relatively common practice to keep pet rabbits and guinea pigs together, or one rabbit with one guinea pig- this is no longer thought to be a good idea, as the different species have different feeding and care requirements, and also they may fight. Guinea Pig housing Guinea pigs live happily in hutches, with an outdoor run area provided to stretch their legs. A homemade run made out of plywood and kitchen wire should be light enough to lift easily so that you can move it around the garden in order to stop any specific area from becoming overgrazed." }, { "docid": "D450736#0", "title": "http://corsinet.com/trivia/average.html\nUnusual, unique, and uncommon facts about a diversity of subjects:", "text": "Unusual, unique, and uncommon facts about a diversity of subjects: An average: common numbers and generalities in people, places, animals and other wonders (76 facts)A hedgehog's heart beats 190 times a minute on average and drops to only 20 beats per minute during hibernation.

The Importance of Weight Checksby Laura Humphreys, Rodent Health Advisor Keeping track of the weight of your piggies is useful not only to yourself, so you can see what is a normal weight for your guineas, but also to your vet. When diagnosing an illness, it can significantly help a vet if he sees the amount of weight lost and over what period of time it has occurred. “ Feeling” the condition of your piggies is still important as some guineas slim down without actually losing weight - a common development as they start to head towards their senior years. But just knowing how your piggies “feel” is too unreliable, it doesn’t tell you how much weight has been lost, which will not help your vet and will not give you an accurate view of the overall health of your animals. How often should I weigh them? Weekly weight checks is ideal, especially with young guineas who are still growing and with pregnant sows who need close monitoring. It is fine to weigh once every two weeks, but ideally no less often than this as there would be little point in tracking the weight; fluctuations would not be monitored as effectively and a sudden drop in weight perhaps not spotted soon enough. Guinea pigs who are ill, especially ones who are refusing to eat, should be weighed daily. If the guinea is continuing to lose weight each day, it usually suggests that the food intake is still too low and you need to increase the amount of syringe-feeding you are doing (a guideline amount, for an adult guinea pig who is not eating for himself at all, is at least 60-120ml per day)." }, { "docid": "D719835#0", "title": "http://exoticpets.about.com/od/guineapigs/a/Breeding-Guinea-Pigs.htm\nBreeding Guinea Pigs", "text": "Guinea Pigs Breeding Guinea Pigs Breed Guinea Pigs By Adrienne Kruzer, RVTUpdated 02/17/17Share Pin Email Ellen van Bodegom/Moment Open/Getty Images Breeding guinea pigs is not difficult but knowing when to breed them is crucial to the survival of the sow and the piglets.

Because very low fertility can become self-reinforcing, with children of one-child families wanting only one child themselves, China now probably faces a long period of ultra-low fertility, regardless of what happens to its one-child policy. The government has made small adjustments to the policy (notably by allowing an only child who is married to another only child to have more than one child) and may adapt it further. But for now it is firmly in place, and very low fertility rates still prevail, especially in the richest parts of the country." } ]

A reason for this may be the aging demographics of the Chinese population compared to India, which is experiencing a population boom and has, as a result, released a greater number of younger workers into its workforce. In addition, China’s minimum wage levels are also more rigidly controlled than those in India.

China * corresponding author's email: [email protected] Full Text (3.7 Mb PDF)Abstract The chemical composition of the continental crust is critically important for understanding its formation and evolution and, ultimately, understanding Earth differentiation. Here we provide a brief review of the chemical composition of the continental crust, with an emphasis on studies from China. The upper crustal composition reveals higher transition metal abundances compared to previous estimates that were based on results from the Canadian Shield. Inter-element correlations in clastic sedimentary rocks can be extended to many immobile as well as mobile elements. The significant correlations place constraints on the concentrations of the rarely analyzed elements (B, Be, Bi, Ge, In, Mo, Sb, Sn, Te, Tl, W) in the upper crust. Middle crustal compositional estimates based on sampling of amphibolite-facies rocks and seismic profiles yield a bulk composition with 62-69% Si O 2. The eastern China middle crust composition is more evolved and shows slightly slower compressional velocity than that of global middle crust. While there is a general consensus that the global lower continental crust is mafic in composition, eastern China is a remarkable exception to this generality with an intermediate bulk lower crust composition. The total crust composition of eastern China is also more evolved than the global model and characterized by a significant negative Eu anomaly. Delamination of the lower crust and its underlying lithospheric mantle are suggested to have played an important role in driving the continental crust to an evolved composition, loss of the Archean keel, and in producing the large volumes of intraplate magmatism in the North China Craton during the Mesozoic." }, { "docid": "D3333368#0", "title": "https://www.mckinsey.com/global-themes/asia-pacific/meet-the-chinese-consumer-of-2020\nMeet the Chinese consumer of 2020", "text": "Evolving economic profiles will continue to be the most important trend shaping the market. Most large consumer-facing companies realize that they will need China to power their growth in the next decade. But to keep pace, these companies will also need to understand the economic, societal, and demographic changes shaping the profiles of consumers and the way they spend. This is no easy task not only because of the fast pace of growth and subsequent changes in the Chinese way of life but also because of the vast economic and demographic differences across the country. These differences are set to become more marked, with significant implications for companies that fail to grasp them. Since 2005, Mc Kinsey has conducted annual consumer surveys in China, interviewing a total of more than 60,000 people in upward of 60 cities. 1 Our surveys have tracked the growth of incomes, shifting patterns of expenditure, rising expectations—sometimes in line with those of the respondents’ Western counterparts and sometimes not—and the development of many different consumer segments. Those surveys now provide insights to help us focus on the future. We cannot, of course, predict it with certainty, and external shocks might confound any forecast.

After three decades of gains, China’s share of U. S. imports has plateaued and in Europe it’s in decline. The steepest losses are in the European Union, where China’s share of imports slumped to 16.5 percent in the first 11 months of last year, from a 2010 high of 18.5 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg News. In the U. S. the needle has barely moved in the past five years, holding around 19 percent. China’s low-cost vantage has been blunted by rising wages and an appreciating currency, with cheaper nations including Vietnam and Bangladesh competing to sell products from T-shirts to shoes. With an unexpected drop in total exports in February compounding the challenges, the trends underscore the need for President Xi Jinping’s government to foster competitiveness in higher-technology items from semiconductor chips to medical- imaging equipment to airplanes. “It’s a sea change,” said Andrew Tilton, chief Asia economist at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. in Hong Kong, who previously worked for the international office of the U. S. Treasury Department. “ China’s period of unusually strong competitive advantage in exports may have run its course. ”The yuan has appreciated about 35 percent against the dollar since July 2005, wages have tripled in the past decade and China’s labor force has begun to shrink." }, { "docid": "D67750#0", "title": "http://www.theaveragebody.com/average_height.php\nAverage Height", "text": "\"Average Height This page aims to offer average female height and average male height information segmented by country, current to 2014/2015.

The population in Taiwan is approximately 23.4 million, spread across a total land area of about 36,000 km 2; it is the seventeenth most densely populated country in the world with a population density of about 650 inhabitants per square kilometer. The original population of the island of Taiwan and its associated islands, i.e. not including Kinmen and the Matsu Islands, consisted of Taiwanese aborigines, speaking Austronesian languages and sharing mitochondrial DNA contribution with island peoples of Southeast Asia and the Pacific. [ 1] Immigration of Han Chinese to the Penghu islands started as early as the 13th century, while settlement of the main island occurred from the 16th century, stimulated by the import of workers from Fujian by the Dutch in the 17th century. According to governmental statistics, over 95% of the Republic of China's population is now made up of Han Chinese, while 2.3% are Taiwanese aborigines. [ 2] Half the population are followers of one or a mixture of 25 recognized religions. Around 93% of the religious population are followers of a mixture of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, while a minority 4.5% are followers of Christianity. During the 20th century the population of Taiwan rose more than sevenfold, from about 3 million in 1905 to more than 22 million by 2001. This high growth was caused by a combination of factors, very high fertility rates up to the 1960s, and low mortality rates, and a surge in population as the Chinese Civil War ended, and the Kuomintang (KMT) forces retreated, bringing an influx of 1.2 to 2 million soldiers and civilians to Taiwan in 1948–1949.

Pakistan geologically overlaps both with the Indian and the Eurasian tectonic plates where its Sindh and Punjab provinces lie on the north-western corner of the Indian plate while Balochistan and most of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa lie within the Eurasian plate which mainly comprises the Iranian Plateau. Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Kashmir lie along the edge of the Indian plate and hence are prone to violent earthquakes where the two tectonic plates collide. Pakistan is bordered by India to the east, Afghanistan to the west and Iran to the southwest while China borders the country in the northeast. The nation is geopolitically placed within some of the most controversial regional boundaries which share disputes and have many-a-times escalated military tensions between the nations, e.g., that of Kashmir with India and the Durand Line with Afghanistan. Its western borders include the Khyber Pass and Bolan Pass that have served as traditional migration routes between Central Eurasia and South Asia. At 796,096 square kilometres (307,374 sq mi), Pakistan is the 36th largest country by area, at more than twice the size of California, and slightly larger than Alberta.

Mean income (average) is the amount obtained by dividing the total aggregate income of a country by the number of people in that country. A country's median income is a better indicator than the average income to gauge how a population is faring economically. Median income also helps assess the size of the middle class in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh based on the definition used by Asian Development Bank and World Bank. Both of these institutions define middle class as those earning $2 or more per capita per day in terms of 2005 PPP US$. Pakistan median income of $73.26 per month translates into $2.44 per day, higher than $2 per day income level used by ADB and WB to define middle class. It means that more than 50% of Pakistanis are in middle class.

Punjab comes from the Persian words panj (five) and ab (river) and means \"\"Land of the Five Rivers.\"\" It was the name used for the lands to the east of the Indus River that are drained by its five tributaries (the Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej). Culturally, the Punjab extends beyond this area to include parts of the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan, the foothills of the Himalayas, and the northern fringes of the Thar (Great Indian) Desert in Rajasthan. The Punjab is an ancient center of culture in the Indian subcontinent. It lay within the bounds of the Harappan civilization, the sophisticated urban (city-based) culture that flowered in the Indus Valley during the third millennium BC . Harappa, one of the two great cities of this civilization, was located on the Ravi River in what is now Pakistan's Punjab Province. The Punjab has also been one of the great crossroads of southern Asian history. Nomadic tribes speaking Indo-European languages descended from the mountain passes in the northwest to settle on the plains of the Punjab around 1700 BC . After then, Persians, Greeks, Huns, Turks, and Afghans were among the many peoples that entered the Indian subcontinent through the northwestern passes and left their mark on the region." }, { "docid": "D2952753#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoffrey_Boycott\nGeoffrey Boycott", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Geoffrey Boycott OBEPersonal information Full name Geoffrey Boycott Born 21 October 1940 (age 77)Fitzwilliam, West Riding of Yorkshire, England Nickname Boycs, Geoff, Fiery, GLY (Greatest Living Yorkshireman), Sir Geoffrey, [1] Thatch [2]Height 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m)Batting Right-handed batsman Bowling Right-arm medium Role Opening batsman International information National side England Test debut (cap 422)4 June 1964 v Australia Last Test 1 January 1982 v India ODI debut (cap 1)5 January 1971 v Australia Last ODI 20 December 1981 v India Domestic team information Years Team1962–86 Yorkshire1971–72 Northern Transvaal Career statistics Competition Test ODI FC LAMatches 108 36 609 313Runs scored 8114 1082 48426 10095Batting average 47.72 36.06 56.83 39.12100s/50s 22/42 1/9 151/238 8/74Top score 246* 105 261* 146Balls bowled 944 168 3685 1975Wickets 7 5 45 30Bowling average 54.57 21.00 32.42 40.265 wickets in innings 0 0 0 010 wickets in match 0 – 0 –Best bowling 3/47 2/14 4/14 3/15Catches/ stumpings 33/– 5/– 264/– 99/–Source: Cricket Archive, 7 December 2008Geoffrey Boycott OBE (born 21 October 1940) is a former Yorkshire and England cricketer. In a prolific and sometimes controversial playing career from 1962 to 1986, Boycott established himself as one of England's most successful opening batsmen [3] and since retiring as a player, he has found further success as a cricket commentator. Boycott made his international debut in a 1964 Test match against Australia. [ 4] [5] He was noted for his ability to occupy the crease and became a key feature of England's Test batting line-up for many years, although he was less successful in his limited One Day International (ODI) appearances. [ 6] He accumulated large scores – he is the equal fifth-highest accumulator of first-class centuries in history, eighth in career runs and the first English player to average over 100 in a season (1971 and 1979) – but often encountered friction with his teammates. [ 4] [7] [8] Journalist Ian Wooldridge commented that \"\"Boycott, in short, walks alone\"\", [9] while cricket writer John Arlott wrote that Boycott had a \"\"lonely\"\" career. [ 10] Others, however, have stated that the extent of his introverted nature has been exaggerated, and that while he was \"\"obsessed with success\"\" he was not a selfish player. [ 11]After 108 Test match appearances for England, Boycott's international career ended in 1982 when he was the leading Test run scorer with over 8,000 Test match runs, [12] earning him an OBE for services to cricket. [ 4] [13] When dropped from the Yorkshire team in 1986 he was the leading run scorer in first-class cricket. In 1965, while still a young player, he had been named as one of five Cricketers of the Year by Wisden Cricketers' Almanack, and he was inducted into the International Cricket Council 's Hall of Fame in 2009.

The two most famous democratically elected prime ministers in the country’s short history are the late Benazir Bhutto of the center-left Pakistan Peoples Party, who served twice and was assassinated in 2007, and the current occupant of that office, Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, who returned to power for a third (non-consecutive) term in 2013 when his center-right Pakistan Muslim League was elected with a sweeping majority vote amidst an unprecedented 60 percent voter turnout. Nawaz Sharif’s election raised hopes that Pakistan might have finally entered a period of more stable democratically elected governance with a government that vowed to follow a forward looking foreign policy and pursue reforms that valued economic freedom. The Nawaz administration promised major economic relief from what it called a “lethal combination of low growth and high inflation.” Pakistan’s economy, however, continues to stagnate, showing no sustainable improvements. The International Labour Organization (ILO) predicts that unemployment rates will remain above 5 percent until 2018—lagging significantly behind global and regional averages in the rest of South Asia. [ 1] The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects Pakistan’s future economic growth to be relatively sluggish at best, reaching 4.7 percent by fiscal year (FY) 2016, owing largely to lower world oil prices.

The plain is a great alluvial crescent stretching from the Indus River system in Pakistan to the Punjab Plain (in both Pakistan and India) and the Haryana Plain to the delta of the Ganga (or Ganges) in Bangladesh (where it is called the Padma). Topographically the plain is homogeneous, with only floodplain bluffs and other related features of river erosion and changes in river channels forming important natural features. Two narrow terrain belts, collectively known as the Terai, constitute the northern boundary of the Indo-Gangetic Plain. Where the foothills of the Himalayas encounter the plain, small hills known locally as ghar (meaning house in Hindi) have been formed by coarse sands and pebbles deposited by mountain streams. Groundwater from these areas flows on the surface where the plains begin and converts large areas along the rivers into swamps. The southern boundary of the plain begins along the edge of the Great Indian Desert in the state of Rajasthan and continues east along the base of the hills of the Central Highlands to the Bay of Bengal (see fig. 1). The hills, varying in elevation from 300 to 1,200 meters, lie on a general east-west axis.

They were ultimately responsible for overseeing all government activity in the 250 districts that comprised British India. They were appointed under Section XXXII of the Government of India Act 1858, [2] [3] enacted by the Parliament of the United Kingdom. [ 4] The ICS was headed by the Secretary of State for India, a member of the British cabinet. At first almost all the top thousand members of the ICS, known as \"\"Civilians\"\", were British, and had been educated in the best British schools. By 1905, five per cent were from Bengal. In 1947 there were 322 Indians and 688 British members; most of the latter left at the time of partition and independence. [ 5]Until the 1930s the Indians in the service were very few and were not given high posts by the British.

David Dollar, Director of Developmental Policy at the World Bank, cites findings from the survey to support the argument he has made in the past that globalization indeed helps reduce poverty and inequality. He points to a significant decrease in the number of the world’s extreme poor since 1980. But globalization has also been received with great distrust, particularly among anti-globalization activists who argue that global economic integration favors the already wealthy while hurting the poor from developing nations. Contradicting the anti-globalization movement’s claims, Dollar says that most “striking in the survey is that views of globalization are distinctly more positive in low-income countries than in rich ones.” For example, in Sub-Saharan Africa 75% of households thought that multinational corporations had a positive influence on their country, compared to only 54% in rich countries. Of the 38,000 people in 44 nations surveyed, those in the developing world generally blamed their local governments, not globalization, for their country’s ills. There is, however, no ground for complacency. With 1.2 billion people still living below the poverty line, Dollar says , the world needs more “international and national actions – including enhanced market access for developing countries, improved investment climates, and effective delivery of health and education.” – Yale Global The Poor Like Globalization But institutions and policies are needed to deliver the hoped for results David Dollar Monday, June 23, 2003The world is welcome to a market in Beijing: Chinese customs move goods faster than India, Pakistan or Bangladesh.

Kirsch Abstract Introduction. Population growth and increasing urbanization in earthquake-prone areas suggest that earthquake impacts on human populations will increase in the coming decades. Recent large earthquakes affecting large populations in Japan, Haiti, Chile and New Zealand are evidence of this trend and also illustrate significant variations in outcomes such damage and mortality levels. The objectives of this review were to describe the impact of earthquakes on human populations in terms of mortality, injury and displacement and, to the extent possible, identify risk factors associated with these outcomes. This is one of five reviews on the human impact of natural disasters. Methods. Data on the impact of earthquakes were compiled using two methods, a historical review from 1980 to mid 2009 of earthquake events from multiple databases and a systematic literature review of publications, ending in October 2012. Analysis included descriptive statistics and bivariate tests for associations between earthquake mortality and characteristics using STATA 11. Findings. From 1980 through 2009, there were a total of 372,634 deaths (range 314,634-412,599), 995,219 injuries (range: 845,345-1,145,093), and more than 61 million people affected by earthquakes, and mortality was greatest in Asia." }, { "docid": "D1813024#0", "title": "http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/1971.html\nWhat Happened in 1971 Important News and Events, Key Technology and Popular Culture", "text": "\"What Happened in 1971 Important News and Events, Key Technology and Popular Culture What happened in 1971 Major News Stories include Intel releases world's first microprocessor, the 4004, Aswan Dam is completed, Charles Manson and three of his followers receive the death penalty, National Public Radio (NPR) broadcasts for the first time, Walt Disney World Resort opens in Florida, Mount Etna erupts, Voting Age Lowered US and UK to 18, UK Moves to Decimal Currency, San Fernando Valley Earthquake, Ibrox disaster Jump To 1971 Fashion -- World Leaders -- 1971 Calendar -- 1971 Technology -- Cost Of Living -- Popular Culture -- Toys Cost of Living 1971How Much things cost in 1971 Yearly Inflation Rate USA 4.3% Yearly Inflation Rate UK 8.6% Year End Close Dow Jones Industrial Average 890 Average Cost of new house $25,250.00 Average Income per year $10,600.00 Average Monthly Rent $150.00 Cost of a gallon of Gas 40 cents Datsun 1200 Sports Coupe $1,866.00 United States postage Stamp 8 cents Ladies 2 piece knit suites $9.98 Movie Ticket $1.50 --Below are some Prices for UK guides in Pounds Sterling Average House Price 5,632 Gallon of Petrol 0.33A few More Examples Dodge Charger $3,579 Fresh Turkey Lb 43 cents Fresh Strawberries Lb 29 cents Idaho Potatoes 10 Lbs 98 cents Jiffy Peanut Butter 59 cents Tape Cassette Recorder $29.88 2 Quart Preasure Cooker $7.77 Side By Side Fridge $704.95 Electrical Heater Fireplace $59.88 Malibu Barbie $1.94 Etch-A-Sketch $2.83 Rock Em Sock Em Robots $8.99 Ladies Beret and Scarf Set $6.00 3 Bedroom House Chicago $16,50019711971 This could well be the year that marked the start of the digital age when the Microprocessor was invented.

Under aerobic conditions (condoms in permeable packages or unpackaged), stress properties declined. The relationship between rate of decline as a function of temperature was quadratic. Under oxygen-restricted conditions (foil-wrapped packages) at average storage temperatures of 30°C and lower, strain properties declined with little or no significant change in stress properties. The effect is to cause condoms to become stiffer; high-breakage rates in use have been correlated with product stiffening. A new rationale for accelerated-aging tests to predict condom shelf stability is suggested, including a test to control the trend of condoms to stiffen. Silicone lubricant, impermeable packaging, and inclusion of antioxidants in the condom formulation can prevent or minimize aerobic breakdown of latex condoms. Specifying low-modulus condoms can prevent excessive stiffening.

By Catherine Holecko Updated January 14, 2018Share Pin Email Print LWA/Dann Tardif - Blend Images - Getty Images The short answer: Most children are developmentally ready for swim lessons when they are about four years old. Prior to that, their brains and bodies are less able to coordinate the motions of swimming strokes, so putting them in lessons isn't very effective. It could even be frustrating for them to try to do something that's beyond their abilities. The longer answer is that some kinds of swim lessons are okay and even helpful for kids under four years old. Toddlers and preschoolers, ages one to three, can benefit from swim lessons that emphasize water adjustment, safety, and swimming readiness skills. Some small studies have shown that children this age who have formal swimming instruction are less likely to drown, although it is unclear exactly what type of lessons work best. So it's important to remember that swimming lessons are never a substitute for direct supervision anytime your young child is in or near water—even the bathtub. Baby Swim Lessons For infants (6 months and up), toddlers, and young preschoolers look for a class that follows American Red Cross and YMCA guidelines. The most important of these are: Instructors should have first aid/resuscitation certification." } ]

Save How to Teach Your Child to Swim Without Lessons None of our four children have ever had swimming lessons, yet how they learned all seemed different and at different ages. When I taught our last child to swim at four years old, the youngest any of our children to learn this life skill, I realized that this was something more parents need to know about and enjoy teaching their child to swim, on their own. I will be transparent with you, at the beginning of the summer that I taught our son to swim, I almost put him in lessons because he didn't fear the water and I was thinking it was going to take all summer long to teach him and was nervous of what could happen if I didn't put him in lessons. Imagine my surprise that within one week of my husband and I talking about putting him in lessons, he was already ‘swimming' in the kids pool and within two weeks after that, he was jumping off the diving board into 9 feet of water. These steps work and they are so much fun to do with your child, who will trust you more than they would a stranger, which is why I believe they make a lot of sense. You Teach Your Child to Fear or Love the Water The first thing that I realized when our youngest was a newborn was that my reactions when my children were in water was what turned them into fearing water. Babies are not born afraid of water, as it is a natural feeling for them and it is proven that babies can easily hold their breath under water and can even swim." }, { "docid": "D2352986#0", "title": "http://blog.intheswim.com/swim-lesson-plans/\nSwim Lesson Plans", "text": "Swim Lesson Plans October 21, 2014 Davy Merino Learning how to swim is one of life’s most valuable skills, and not only for the benefit of water safety.

My misspent years lounging in front of the TV and dossing at my local flea-pit have lead me to believe that drowning is an unpleasant, uncomfortable, frightening, panic-filled but relatively brief and relatively painless way to die. So just how long does it take for a person to expire from lack of oxygen? Does a person lose consciousness before death and if so how long before consciousness is lost? How painful is the experience would you guess? Is 'drowning at the surface' more prolonged and unpleasant than drowning while completely immersed in water? What are the effect if any of oxygen deprivation on the brain and senses - does a person feel light-headed, euphoric, filled with terror? Does water temperature effect the onset of death?" }, { "docid": "D2352483#0", "title": "http://www.whattoexpect.com/toddler/drowning\nChild Drowning, Secondary Drowning & Dry Drowning: Signs to Look For & What to Do", "text": "Toddler Child Drowning, Secondary Drowning & Dry Drowning: Signs to Look For & What to Do Updated: June 30, 2017Boris Jovanovic/Stocksy Young children are at the greatest risk of drowning. This need-to-know info can help keep your little one safe around water. With the warm weather heating up (literally), you're probably planning to cool off with your kiddos by the pool or at the beach (or maybe just in the backyard sprinklers!). While swimming is a great way to stay active and have fun together, remember that water can be dangerous, even for little ones who’ve learned how to swim. That’s why it’s so important to keep close watch on your little guppy whenever she jumps in. And by close, we mean don’t take your eyes off her, even for a second. Each year, an average of 3,868 Americans drown, with children and the elderly at the highest risk. In fact, accidental drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional deaths among children and the primary cause among kids ages 1 to 4. While home swimming pools are the most common site for toddler and preschooler incidents, babies are most likely to drown in the bathtub, toilet or a bucket of water (which is why it’s critical to childproof your home ). Although the thought of a baby or toddler drowning isn’t one any of us, especially a parent, wants to have, it’s imperative to be properly informed." }, { "docid": "D820467#0", "title": "https://touringplans.com/walt-disney-world/hotels/disneys-beach-club-resort\nDisney's Beach Club Resort", "text": "\"On this page is information on Disney's Beach Club Resort, including pictures of the view from every hotel room, pictures and video from inside Beach Club rooms, a list of amenities, restaurant reviews and dining menus with prices, pool photos and reviews, reader comments, childcare options, and more.

Stefanie (from Pediatric Safety.net) alerted me to an interesting article last week that prompted the question – a 14-year old girl saved her 10-year old brother from drowning while the two played at a hotel pool, unsupervised. No charges were filed against the parent because 10 was deemed ‘old enough’ by the local police to be in the pool without adult supervision. But there was no mention of either child’s swimming abilities. Could the 10-year old swim? Could he truly swim or just paddle a bit? How responsible was the younger brother? Was he a dare-devil or a cautious kid?" }, { "docid": "D2822862#0", "title": "http://www.sprinttriathlontraining.org/sprint-triathlon-training/how-long-does-it-take-to-complete-a-sprint-triathlon\nHow long does it take to Complete a Sprint Triathlon?", "text": "How long does it take to Complete a Sprint Triathlon?by Coach Suzanne | Sep 16, 2009 | Blog, Sprint Triathlon Training | 9 comments If you are considering doing your first triathlon, you may be curious how long it takes to complete a sprint triathlon. There are a few easy ways to figure this out. First of all, most sprint triathlons are of a similar length, but the distances can vary. A typical sprint triathlon consists of 3 legs such as the following:400m Swim (.25 miles)20k Bike (12 miles)5k Run (3.1 miles)For a novice tri-athlete, it will take about 2:00 minutes per 100 meters for the swim, or 8 minutes total, about an hour for the bike (avg 12mph) and 30 minutes or so for the run. Add in 5 minutes (generous) for each transion and the total time for a beginner or first time triathlon to complete a sprint triathlon is about 1 hour and 50 minutes. That’s probably a bit on the long side for many people, but you will have to look at your own fitness to see where you would fit in on this scale. An advanced sprint triathlete would complete the swim in 1:20 minutes/100meters, ride the bike leg at 20+ mph (frequently using a time trial or triathlon bike ), and run the 5k distance in 20 minutes. The transitions will take less than 2 minutes each so the total time would be about 1 hr 15 minutes. Many people mistakenly assume that a sprint triathlon is a “beginners” triathlon, but nothing could be further from the truth. While a sprint triathlon is a great distance for a beginner to take part in, there is plenty of room for advanced competition in triathlons even in the sprint distance." }, { "docid": "D2500639#0", "title": "https://www.amazon.com/toy-fish-Toys-Games/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=n%3A165793011%2Ck%3Atoy%20fish\nSearch results", "text": "\"Amazon's Choice See Size Options US Toy Assorted Color and Design Tropical Fish Figure Play Set (Lot of 12)$4.52$ 4 52 (4-5 days)More Buying Choices$2.69 (16 new offers)FREE Shipping Manufacturer recommended age: 3 Months - 1 Year 8 Months Show only U.

You may even begin to feel pain while you are sitting or lying down. If nonsurgical treatments like medications and using walking supports are no longer helpful, you may want to consider total knee replacement surgery. Joint replacement surgery is a safe and effective procedure to relieve pain, correct leg deformity, and help you resume normal activities. Knee replacement surgery was first performed in 1968. Since then, improvements in surgical materials and techniques have greatly increased its effectiveness. Total knee replacements are one of the most successful procedures in all of medicine. According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, more than 600,000 knee replacements are performed each year in the United States.

How Much Does an ACL Replacement Cost? One of the most common knee injuries people suffer is a torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament). This ligament is one of the major four ligaments located in the knee that connects the bones of the knee together. When the ACL is injured or torn, there are many options to fixing it, and surgery is not always the best option. Knee replacement surgery cost: Without insurance, the cost of a knee replacement will range from $20,000 to $50,000. This cost depends on the cost of living in your area, the doctor you choose, the hospital you choose, the extent of the injury, and the need for physical therapy. If you have insurance and only pay a co-pay or a percentage of the bill, your costs will be anywhere from $800 to $3,000. Since this procedure is deemed medically necessary, it should be covered.

When doctors and patients refer to \"\"torn cartilage\"\" in the knee, they actually may be referring to an injury to a meniscus at the top of one of the tibiae. Menisci can be torn during innocuous activities such as walking or squatting. They can also be torn by traumatic force encountered in sports or other forms of physical exertion. The traumatic action is most often a twisting movement at the knee while the leg is bent. In older adults, the meniscus can be damaged following prolonged 'wear and tear' called a degenerative tear.

The tibia and femur are capped by a soft tissue of articular cartilage, and in between these two rests the C-shaped meniscus, acting as a cushion of cartilage for smooth articulation of the bones. The meniscal cartilage is hard and rubbery for the purpose of providing stability and shock-absorption to the knee joint. In case of injury or damage to the meniscus, the articular cartilage covering the thigh bone and shin bone may start to wear out and cause acute pain and discomfort during movement of the knee. Meniscus Cartilage Damage There may be various reasons for knee damage due to tear or damage to the meniscus and even due to age. As the meniscus is not supplied with any blood circulation, any damage caused due to age or injury, it is unable to repair the damage on its own unlike many other organs or tissues of the body. Trauma to the meniscus can take place when the knee is twisted or turned rapidly, while the knee is in the bent position. It may also get torn due to lifting heavy weights or athletic activity, sports or due to wearing off as a reason of aging.

Purpose Great advances have been made in joint replacement since the first hip replacement wasperformed in the United States in 1969. Improvements have been made in the endurance andcompatibility of materials used and the surgical techniques to install artificial joints. Customjoints can be made using a mold of the original joint that duplicate the original with a very highdegree of accuracy. The most common joints to be replaced are hips and knees. There is ongoing work on elbow andshoulder replacement, but some joint problems are still treated with joint resection (the surgicalremoval of the joint in question) or interpositional reconstruction (the reassembly of the joint fromconstituent parts). Seventy percent of joint replacements are performed because arthritis has caused the joint to stiffen and become painful to the point where normal daily activities are no longer possible. If thejoint does not respond to conservative treatment such medication, weight loss, activityrestriction, and use of walking aids such as a cane, joint replacement is considered appropriate. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis or other connective tissue diseases may also be candidatesfor joint replacement, but the results are usually less satisfactory in those patients." }, { "docid": "D459586#0", "title": "http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/27871.php\nEverything you need to know about osteoarthritis", "text": "Newsletter MNT - Hourly Medical News Since 2003Search Log in Newsletter MNT - Hourly Medical News Since 2003Search Login Everything you need to know about osteoarthritis Last updated Mon 10 July 2017By Christian Nordqvist Reviewed by William Morrison, MDTreatment Symptoms Causes Effects Risk factors Diagnosis Tips Osteoarthritis is a form of arthritis caused by the inflammation, breakdown, and eventual loss of cartilage in the joints.

Hiligsmann and J. Y. Reginster,The Netherlands and Belgium This article aims to describe the economic weight of osteoarthritis (OA) in Europe based on published data and to underline the principal cost headings and their respective weights for patients and governments. This review suggests that OA has a significant economic effect not only on health care budgets, but also on patients, their employers, and their caregivers. The average total annual cost of OA per patient in Europe ranges from €1330 to €10 452. When considering only direct medical costs, the annual cost of OA ranged from €534 to €1788. In active patients, the indirect costs were found to be much higher than the direct costs. European studies are, however, not directly comparable with each other because of differences in the approach taken, in patient characteristics, in health care systems, and in the calculation of productivity losses. Our review confirms the immense burden of OA in Europe, which is expected to rise substantially further in the future with demographic changes and increasing obesity.

An orthopedic surgeon repaired the torn cartilage, and — despite the doctor's warnings to slow down — Emanuel kept playing tennis full out. Three years later, he was back on the operating table, being prepped for a total knee replacement. Mirko Ilic More and more baby boomers are opting for knee replacement surgery earlier in life.

How Much Does a Knee Replacement Cost? According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, “If your knee is severely damaged by arthritis or injury, it may be hard for you to perform simple activities such as walking or climbing stairs. If medications, changing your activity level, and using walking supports are no longer helpful, you may want to consider a total knee replacement surgery. ”Because knee replacement is a major surgery, and since artificial joints need to be replaced in 10-15 years, it is usually avoided until there are no other options. Most patients who receive a total knee replacement are between the ages 65-70. How much does knee replacement surgery cost? The cost of a knee replacement will vary substantially, depending on a number of factors. These factors may include the number of days spent in the hospital, the surgical approach, the complexity of the surgery, time spent in the operating room and geographical location.

For up to 20% of the patient population suffering from knee arthritis, minimally invasive partial knee replacement is a viable option. When only one compartment of your knee is damaged and your orthopaedic surgeon has determined that you have adequate ligament stability, the surgeon may choose to replace only the diseased portion of your knee. The healthy compartments remain untouched, and because the procedure is done through a much smaller incision than a total knee replacement, rehabilitation is less painful and more rapid. Can I resume my normal activities after minimally invasive partial knee replacement? Most patients can resume normal activities following partial knee replacement once they have regained adequate strength and flexibility and their orthopaedic surgeon has released them to begin normal activities. However, any activity that results in repetitive joint trauma, such as running, jumping or twisting, should be avoided.

The study, published in the journal Arthritis & Rheumatology, reveals such patients may also be at increased long-term risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Osteoarthritis (OA), also known as degenerative joint disease, is the most common form of arthritis in the US, affecting around 13.9% of adults aged 25 and older and 33.6% of those over 65.

Your surgeon will take your medical history, perform a physical examination, and X-ray your knee. Even if the pain is significant, and the X-rays show advanced arthritis of the joint, the first line of treatment is nearly always non-operative. This includes weight loss if appropriate, an exercise regimen, medication, injections, or bracing. If the symptoms persist despite these measures, then you could consider surgery.

Image Credit: Rebecca Nelson/Moment /Getty Images How long do most horses live? What is their average lifespan? Many horses live to be over thirty years old and that seems to surprise people. Now, a thirty-year-old horse isn’t so rare as it once might have been. So how long do horses and ponies live? Advances in the understanding of care and veterinary medicine have increased the lifespan of horses, just as improved medical and nutritional knowledge has benefited humans. This means horses and ponies are living longer than ever just as many people are. In the past, readers submitted the ages of the oldest horses they know and from this information, it is clear that many horses live beyond the age of 30 with good care and some senior horses are still ridden or driven lightly.

The cost of shoeing a horse varies greatly according to what area you are located in, what size of horse you are shoeing, and how many shoes you are putting on. As an example, in California for an average sized horse you might pay $90 for a full set of 4 shoes including the trimming. For a trim with just front shoes you might pay $75. For a draft horse you might pay $250 for a full set with trim, or $180 for just front shoes and a trim. Growing popularity is barefoot trimming which has a wide variety of pricing as well... $40 - $75 Shoeing should be done every 6 weeks.1 person found this useful Was this answer useful?

By Heather Beach Arabian horses are a very hardy breed and can be expected to live a long natural lifespan of 25 to 30 years, similar to the general horse population. Some individual Arabians have been known to live well into their 40s. Arabian horses are smaller in stature than many other breeds of horses like warmblood and draft horses, and are estimated to have a slightly longer life expectancy than these heavier horses. Longevity of the Arabian Horse In a study of geriatric horses performed by Dr. Mary Rose Paradis at Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, Arabian horses were found to be among the top five horse breeds in the population of older horses studied. This was thought to be due to popularity of the breed rather than its longevity. The study found that ponies lived longer than horses, but did not find any breed-specific trends for longer life span amongst the horses studied.

Also known as the Black Death, the plague (caused by the bacterium called Yersinia pestis) was carried by fleas most often found on rats. It had arrived in Europe by 1348, and thousands died in places ranging from Italy, France and Germany to Scandinavia, England, Wales, Spain and Russia. The deadly bubonic plague caused oozing swellings (buboes) all over the body. With the septicaemic plague, victims suffered from skin that was darkly discoloured (turning black) as a result of toxins in the bloodstream (one reason why the plague has subsequently been called the ‘Black Death’). The extremely contagious pneumonic plague could be contracted by merely sneezing or spitting, and caused victims’ lungs to fill up. The Black Death killed between a third and half of the population of Europe. Contemporaries did not know, of course, what caused the plague or how to avoid catching it. They sought explanations for the crisis in God’s anger, human sin, and outsider/marginal groups, especially Jews." }, { "docid": "D2336080#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20101223091744AAqD0HJ\nHow long do horses live for?", "text": "\"Pets Horses How long do horses live for?

The cheapest part of owning a horse is the initial purchase price. Once you have paid between $1500 and $5000 for the animal you will have a yearly vet bill for vaccines of around $200, every six weeks the horse will need his hooves trimmed at between $30 and $50 or $45 to $85 for horse shoes. Add to this $3-$5 a bale for hay and he will go through about 5 a week and $9-$23 a bag for horse feed, multiply that by 5 to 8 a month depending on how ways it is to keep weight on your horse, then if you have to pay a boarding facility to keep your horse for you depend on paying another $100- $350 a month. Then there's bedding, tack, supplements, clothing humans need to care for a horse like boots, and helmets, and clothes for cold weather, and buckets and brushes and other equipment for grooming and feeding and caring for your horse and your equipment. If you really feel like you want a horse I recommend taking riding lessons first, it seems expensive but compared with the cost and timerequired to own a horse it's a lot more economical and allows you a chance to make sure that horse ownership really is right for you.4 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

But, generally speaking, the average lifespan of an average horse is between 18 to 24 years. Some have lived a good deal longer, but most fall in this span. Race horses are athletes, and are usually in superb physical condition; are pampered in their stalls, and are purebloods. BUT, being a race horse and a pureblood can actually put a horse at great risk, especially if the breeder is not careful. The physiology of a race horse is different from the average horse simply because of the heavy handedness man has used in creating a longer, leaner form, more flexible spine, longer legs, etc., etc. Man's intervention however, can sometime breed in infirmities that don't show." } ]

Photo: Reuters When Osvaldo José Pichardo Virgil, better known as Ozzie, took the field for the old New York Giants baseball club in September 1956, the 24-year-old from Monte Cristi in the Dominican Republic probably had no idea he was triggering a revolution that would eventually change the face of America's national pastime. Of course, this process took a long time to coalesce, with various stops and turns. Virgil himself had a rather tepid career, hitting only .231 over nine seasons as a utility infielder, but he remains a historic figure as the first man from his Caribbean homeland to suit up in the big leagues. Now, almost six decades later, so many Dominicans have flooded into the Major Leagues, that they now account for at least 10 percent of rosters at baseball's highest level. For example, the Toronto Blue Jays (a club that has a long history of signing players from the Dominican Republic) had no less than eight Dominican players on its 2013 roster, including superstar Jose Bautista. Moreover, at least 25 percent of the upper minor-league rosters and nearly half of the lower minors comprise Dominicans. Indeed, in the last two decades or so, the number of Dominicans on big league clubs has almost tripled.

Over that 115-year time period, U. S. born MLB players have gained, on average, approximately 3 in. ( 7.6 cm) in height and 27.0 lb (12.2 kg) in weight, which has contributed a 1.6-unit increase in the body mass index. Where comparable data are available, U. S. born MLB players are about 2.0 in. ( 5.1 cm) taller and 20.0 lb (9.1 kg) heavier but substantially less obese than males in the general U. S. population." } ]

This is the first time that the symbolic age barrier has been reached. The average age at which women and men get married has been getting consistently later in recent years. The mean year for first marriages for women in 1991 was 25.5 and just 23.1 back in 1981, the year of the last major Royal wedding. Lady Diana Spencer, as she was then, had just turned 20 when she married Prince of Wales. Catherine Middleton, in contrast is 29 years old, suggesting that the forthcoming Royal Wedding is – despite its pomp – more reflective of British social trends than some admit. The average age of men has climbed from 25.4 in 1981, to 32.1 years in 2009. The figures also confirmed the long-running decline in the institution of marriage, with the number of marriages hitting a fresh all-time low, with fewer people being married in 2009 than in any year since figures started to be recorded in 1895.

The average time taken for couples to actually divorce has also increased from 10.2 years to 12.3 years.

The Trends in Couple Dissolution report shows the number of marriages lasting less than 10 years have fallen - from 49 per cent in 1990 to 43 per cent in 2000 and 41 per cent in 2009. The number of marriages lasting at least 20 years has increased from 20 per cent in 1980 to 24 per cent in 2000 and 28 per cent in 2009. However, the news isn’t so good for Generation Y women with the report showing those who marry between 25-29 years of age are more likely to end up divorced than Gen X’s. For example, twenty in every 1000 married women aged 25-29 ended up divorced in 2006, compared to 18 in 1000 aged 35-39 years in the same period.

For instance, a 20-year-old male driver will most likely pay more for insurance than a man who’s 10 years older. What may be shocking, however, is just how significant these premium swings can be — with age being just one of several factors. For the second year in a row, a study commissioned by insurance Quotes found that car insurance premiums, on average, can vary by more than 50 percent based on age, gender and marital status. This article was originally published on insurance Quotes.com. According to Mike Barry, spokesman for the nonprofit Insurance Information Institute, insurers have long been interested in the way marriage, gender and age may affect insurance rates — and the general consensus has been resounding. “Younger people cause more accidents than older people — unless they’re married — and men cause more accidents than women,” Barry says. The Impact of Marriage on Car Insurance Rates According to the study, marital status is almost as significant in car insurance pricing as age and gender. On average, a married 20-year-old pays 21 percent less than a single 20-year-old for the same policy.

Though average costs fluctuate widely, married couples generally save money when combining insurance policies. Consult an insurance broker for detailed policy questions.

The fact that poverty is considerably more common among black children than it is among white children has intensified this concern. In 1999, according to the U. S. Bureau of the Census, 33.1 percent of black children lived in poverty compared with 13.5 percent of white children. 1This CDA Report attempts to identify the primary causes of child poverty in the United States, using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, a representative sample of Americans produced by the U. S. Department of Labor. 2 We also examine the differences in black and white child poverty and seek to uncover the causes of those differences. This analysis reveals the following: The major underlying factors producing child poverty in the United States are welfare dependence and single parenthood. Race per se is not a factor in producing child poverty; race alone does not directly increase or decrease the probability that a child will be poor. When a black child is compared with a white child raised in identical circumstances, both children will have the same probability of living in poverty. Similarly, when whites with high levels of single parenthood and welfare dependence (matching those typical in the black community) are compared to blacks, the poverty rates for both groups are nearly identical. Black American children are more likely to live in poverty than are white children, primarily because black children are far more likely to live in single-parent families and to be on welfare." }, { "docid": "D1221625#0", "title": "http://www.americantowns.com/ms/tylertown/info\nTylertown, Mississippi Census Data & Community Profile", "text": "\"Tylertown, Mississippi Census Data & Community Profile Welcome to the heart of Tylertown city data where you can quickly find the key Tylertown detailed data and census information you need.

The article presents data on marriages and divorces by age, gender, race, and Hispanic origin, as well as by educational attainment. Many changes in the last half century have affected marriage and divorce rates. The rise of the women’s liberation movement, the advent of the sexual revolution, and an increase in women’s labor force participation altered perceptions of gender roles within marriage during the last 50 years. Cultural norms changed in ways that decreased the aversion to being single and increased the probability of cohabitation. 1 In addition, a decrease in the stigma attached to divorce and the appearance of no-fault divorce laws in many states contributed to an increase in divorce rates. 2Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79)—a survey of people born during the 1957–1964 period—this study examines the marriage and divorce patterns for a cohort of young baby boomers up to age 46.

Tomkins on June 22, 2011PDF Download Share: Abstract Claims about high genomic DNA sequence similarity between humans and chimpanzees are typically made to audiences that do not understand the various layers of technology and ideological bias imposed upon the origination of the data in question. The recent human-chimp Y-chromosome project introduced a number of important genomic tools to achieve a considerably less-biased analysis. The results indicated a much higher level of dissimilarity in both gene content and overall sequence similarity than the previously reported levels up to 99% similarity. As of yet, no similar study utilizing a less-biased genomic framework for autosomal regions has been reported. When evaluating comparisons between genomes using DNA sequence, it is important to understand the nature of how that sequence was obtained and bioinformatically manipulated before drawing any conclusions. It is not uncommon to arrange the sequence of a genome for which little is known by using the genome of a hypothetical closely related organism that has better developed genomic resources. It is also not uncommon to first screen the framework model genome to find regions of high similarity prior to any comparative analyses and to even omit gaps in the final DNA alignments before determining sequence identity. As a result, evolutionary bias literally colors every aspect of the DNA analysis and annotation. Understanding the technology used to produce a comparative genomic product for inter-genome studies is required prior to making any definitive conclusions about the data presented. At present, a considerably more unbiased approach to comparative genomics needs to be applied to the analysis and annotation of genome." }, { "docid": "D1447266#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_test\nMirror test", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A baboon looking in a mirror The mirror test, sometimes called the mark test or the mirror self-recognition test ( MSR ), is a behavioural technique developed in 1970 by psychologist Gordon Gallup Jr. as an attempt to determine whether a non-human animal possesses the ability of visual self-recognition. [ 1] The MSR test is the traditional method for attempting to measure self-awareness; however, there has been controversy whether the test is a true indicator. In the classic MSR test, an animal is anaesthetised and then marked (e.g. painted, or a sticker attached) on an area of the body the animal cannot normally see. When the animal recovers from the anesthetic, it is given access to a mirror. If the animal then touches or investigates the mark, it is taken as an indication that the animal perceives the reflected image as itself, rather than of another animal. Very few species have passed the MSR test. As of 2016, only great apes (including humans), a single Asiatic elephant, dolphins, orcas, the Eurasian magpie and ants have passed the MSR test. A wide range of species has been reported to fail the test, including several monkey species, giant pandas, sea lions, and dogs.

Another complication in its classification is that it is older than the human–chimpanzee divergence (estimated to 6.3 to 5.4 million years ago) seen in genetic data] and that there are few if any specimens other than the partial cranium known as Toumaï. Fossils Existing fossils – a relatively small cranium nicknamed Toumaï (“hope of life” in the local Dazaga language of Chad in central Africa), five pieces of jaw and some teeth make up a head that has a mixture of derived and primitive features. The braincase, being only 320 cm³ to 380 cm³ in volume is similar to that of extant chimpanzees and is notably less than the approximate human volume of 1350 cm³. The teeth, brow ridges, and facial structure differ markedly from those found in Homo sapiens. Cranial features show a flatter face, u-shaped dental arcade, small canines, an anterior foramen magnum, and heavy brow ridges. No postcranial remains have been recovered. The fossil suffered a large amount of distortion during the time of fossilisation and discovery. Location of discovery Detail of map Since no postcranial remains (bones below the skull) have been discovered, it is as of yet unknown whether Sahelanthropus tchadensis was indeed bipedal or two-footed, although claims for an anteriorly placed foramen magnum suggests that this may have been the case, some paleontologists have disputed this interpretation of the basicranium.

The study was by Jared Roach and colleagues Roach:whole:2010, and as you might guess from my post title, the result was surprising. Previous work had suggested a human mutation rate around 2.5 x 10 -8 per site per generation. The new study found less than half the expected number of mutations between these parents and offspring, an estimated rate of only 1.1 x 10 -8 per site. If this lower rate of mutation were to hold up, it would affect much of our understanding of the chronology of human evolution. Fossils and archaeological sites would not change in date, but some hypotheses about their relationships would be challenged. For example, the higher rate of 2.5 x 10 -8 per site suggests a chimpanzee-human population divergence around 4 million years ago. A new rate of 1.1 x 10 -8 would not have a linear effect on this divergence time – the genes don’t have genealogical roots at the same instant as the population divergence. But the human-chimpanzee divergence time would be radically higher than in many recent estimates.

Together with humans, gorillas, and orangutans they are part of the family Hominidae (the great apes). Native to sub-Saharan Africa, common chimpanzees and bonobos are currently both found in the Congo jungle, while only the common chimpanzee is also found further north in West Africa. The two species are on the IUCN \"\"red list\"\" of critically endangered species and in 2017 the Convention on Migratory Species, selected the common chimpanzee for special protection.

Some scientists use a broader definition of Hominidae which includes the great apes, and instead call the group I am discussing \"\"hominins\"\". For a good discussion of the hominid/hominin terminology issue, read this article by Lee Berger. The word \"\"hominid\"\" in this website refers to members of the family of humans, Hominidae, which consists of all species on our side of the last common ancestor of humans and living apes. Hominids are included in the superfamily of all apes, the Hominoidea, the members of which are called hominoids. Although the hominid fossil record is far from complete, and the evidence is often fragmentary, there is enough to give a good outline of the evolutionary history of humans. The time of the split between humans and living apes used to be thought to have occurred 15 to 20 million years ago, or even up to 30 or 40 million years ago. Some apes occurring within that time period, such as Ramapithecus, used to be considered as hominids, and possible ancestors of humans. Later fossil finds indicated that Ramapithecus was more closely related to the orang-utan, and new biochemical evidence indicated that the last common ancestor of hominids and apes occurred between 5 and 10 million years ago, and probably in the lower end of that range (Lewin 1987). Ramapithecus therefore is no longer considered a hominid." }, { "docid": "D274056#0", "title": "http://anthro.palomar.edu/primate/prim_8.htm\n.", "text": "\"Typical human sexual dimorphism In addition to the great apes, the family Homin idae includes our species, Homo sapiens.

The African apes and humans have essentially the same arrangement of internal organs, share all of the same bones (though somewhat different in shape and size), lack external tails, and have several important blood type systems in common. We also get many of the same diseases. Humans and the African apes have hands with thumb s that are sufficiently separate from the other fingers to allow them to be opposable for precision grips.

In addition, those animals which did exchange were more likely to when encouraged by human solicitation. These behaviors suggest a social significance beyond simple behavioral economics in processing information about giving and getting. Further, these and several observed manipulations of reward-getting suggest that chimpanzees may also have a limited understanding of the expression and manipulation of the relative values of certain items.

They also possess a limited understanding of the relative values of small numbers ( Boysen and Berntson, 1989 ), of reciprocity in grooming and sharing food ( de Waal, 1989 ), of reciprocity in aggressive incidents ( de Waal and Lutrell, 1988 ), and of an artificially trained token economy in which food items could be obtained by depositing ‘coins’ into an automatic dispenser ( Cowles, 1937 ).

A 2005 study by Filene Research Institute found only 6% of credit union board members were under 40 while 42% were over 60. Five years probably hasn’t changed this picture. The average age of a credit union member is 47 - nearly 10 years older than the median age of people in the US (Source: US Census). This older average age means many of their members are past their prime borrowing years. Importantly, over 27% of the US population is under 20 (Source: US Census).

Most of them not only have paid sick leave, but also an incentive not to use it. When they retire, their unused sick leave can be converted into “service credit” for time spent on the job, which increases the amount of their pensions. Is this “spiking,” the improper boosting of pensions by manipulating the final pay or time on the job used in the formulas that set monthly pension amounts? Many do not think so. The higher cost of pensions presumably is paid for in advance by rate increases resulting from what the actuaries assume will be the cost of converting unused sick leave to service credit. California Public Employees Retirement System actuaries assume, when calculating future costs, that service credit for unused sick leave will increase pensions and other benefits by 1 percent for state workers and non-teaching school employees. Actuaries for the California State Teachers Retirement System, making the calculation in a different way, assume that unused sick leave will increase the service credit for educators by 2 percent. An analysis by the Cal STRS actuary, Milliman, issued in 2010 found that the average amount of unused sick leave converted to service credit was 0.5 years for members retiring after 26 years on the job." }, { "docid": "D2343815#0", "title": "https://firstquarterfinance.com/how-long-does-it-take-for-a-check-to-deposit-clear/\nHow Long Does It Take for a Check to Deposit, Clear?

Whether you’re saving for something in the future or just for a ‘rainy day’, regular saving is a good idea. Regular saving with your credit union is an even better idea.

Despite their success in wartime industries during WWI, similar stereotypes about women’s capacity and ability to engage in ‘men’s work’ were circulated by the employers and the government. Trade unions again expressed concerns about men’s pay being pushed down and sought assurances that women’s wartime work would only be temporary. However, the needs of the wartime economy won again. In December 1941, the government conscripted single women aged 20-30 as auxiliaries to the Armed Forces, Civil Defence, or war industries. Propaganda leaflets urged women to participate in the war effort. Government figures show that women’s employment increased during the Second World War from about 5.1 million in 1939 (26%) to just over 7.25 million in 1943 (36% of all women of working age).

This compares to 28 years old ten years ago, and 30 years old five years ago. The Post Office said that in the early 1960s the average age was 24. The group also found that half of all prospective first-time buyers believe that it will take them a decade just to save enough to raise the deposit to get on the property ladder.

This is a very misunderstood area. Alongside temperament, the health of your Labrador throughout its life is of primary importance to you as pet owners. Three of the most frequent problems that affect the Labrador are Hip Displacia, Elbow Dysplasia and GPRA (a problem with the eyes that causes blindness, often by three or four years of age). The eye problem is ENTIRELY genetic (so passed through the genes from the puppies parents to it and its littermates). The Hip and Elbow problems have a very strong genetic influence, but can be aggravated by over exercising a young puppy, falls, injuries and general roughhousing whilst the dogs joints are still growing. Therefore, it is very very important that only dogs free from these problems themselves are bred from to give the puppies produced the very best chance of being free themselves of these painful and traumatic problems. The common misconception is that only competition kennels use the health schemes or that they are not for breeders who 'only produce pets'. The schemes are not expensive to put breeding dogs through, and, remember, every dog bred from is a 'breeding dog', NOT just those belonging to people who show or work their dogs. To NOT health test the parents before breeding for these conditions is selling both puppy buyers and the puppies they produce short as they are playing Russian Roulette by breeding 'blind'." }, { "docid": "D1247689#0", "title": "http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-2408807/New-car-prices-risen-inflation-25-years.html\nCar buyers getting 'more for their money': New car prices have risen by less than inflation for 25 years - but petrol and insurance have rocketed", "text": "\"Car buyers getting 'more for their money': New car prices have risen by less than inflation for 25 years - but petrol and insurance have rocketed By Lee Boyce Published: 02:16 EDT, 3 September 2013 | Updated: 04:31 EDT, 4 September 201312View comments New car buyers might be getting a slightly better deal than they think.

Homes are unaffordable for first-time buyers in every single one of the UK’s regions, the study by KPMG shows.

To buy this property with a mortgage at 4.5 times salary, a purchaser would need to earn £40,533. The current media annual wage for first-time buyers across the UK is just over half that figure, at £22,044. The gulf was greatest in London where a prospective homeowner would need to earn £76,971 to afford the £384,856 average first-time buyer property. The median annual wage for a first-time buyer in the capital was £28,000, however. The gap was narrowest in the North East, where actual earnings of £20,149 compared to required wages of £23,616.

Once both have been inputted, the site provides a detailed breakdown of the car's MOT history, including the MOT test number, the mileage when it was tested and if the car had passed or not. Any car more than three years old without a current MOT should not be on the road.

The average time nationwide is just under six weeks. This is far quicker than a year ago when the average was almost nine weeks. But the national figure masks a wide regional difference. In greater London properties sell quickest, currently averaging under one month. But in Britain's most sluggish housing markets, around the north east of England, vendors should expect a wait of ten weeks. A similar pattern applies to how much vendors should expect to have to cut their asking price to achieve a sale.

As most mortgage lenders will not go higher than 4.5 times salary in terms of the size of the loan, that would require earnings of £38,917 a year, according to Which? But the average salary for 20 to 24-year-olds is £16,400, according to HM Revenue & Customs, meaning they would need to earn an extra £22,517 to afford such a home.+3Out of reach: 20 to 24-year-olds need to earn an extra £22,517 to qualify for a mortgage Putting together a mortgage deposit is one of the hardest aspects of buying a home, although some lenders have launched mortgages for those with small deposits.

Halifax’s mortgages director, Craig Mc Kinlay, said: “First-time buyers are vital for a properly functioning housing market. Improving economic conditions and rising employment levels have boosted confidence among those thinking about getting on to the housing ladder for the first time, contributing to the significant increase in the number of first-time buyers in the past two years. ”The chancellor’s changes to stamp duty last month reduced the average first time buyer’s tax bill by £781, according to the report." }, { "docid": "D3188886#0", "title": "http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-1610117/Penalty-points-wont-drive-up-premiums.html\nPenalty points won't drive up premiums", "text": "\"Penalty points won't drive up premiums By Ray Massey for the Daily Mail Updated: 03:41 EDT, 17 May 2007View comments Drivers with penalty points could see their insurance premiums fall, it emerged last night.

Previously these drivers would have faced premiums up to four times higher than those with clean licences.

A spokesman said that licence endorsements were almost an occupational hazard and were no longer a sign of a poor or reckless driver. Swinton said penalty points could no longer be used as a yardstick to assess drivers.

After conception and birth, the horse evolves into adolescence, adulthood and finally old age. Gestation and Birth Mares, or female horses, typically experience seasonal estrous cycles, going into heat in late spring or early summer. If breeding is successful, the mare carries her baby for about 11 months, or an average of 335 days. The foal develops a heartbeat around day 23. After about 150 days of pregnancy, the placenta is fully formed around the baby. A mare spends about an hour in labor, on average, then lies down to deliver the foal. The foal begins to stand and walk within minutes of birth. Foal Horses are born after a gestation period of 11 months, and for the next year are called foals. In the first year, horses grow rapidly and will reach 90 percent of their adult height and 80 percent of their adult weight." }, { "docid": "D1593506#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071120171035AAHeEOm\nAverage price of horse?", "text": "Pets Horses Average price of horse?what is the average price of a horse in GAFollow 12 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: There are too many variables to be able to answer this question.

Water makes up 80% of the blood, regulates body temperature and is vital for organ functions such as digestion, waste removal and the absorption of nutrients. Understanding daily livestock watering needs is key when designing a livestock watering system. The daily water requirement of livestock varies significantly among animal species. The animal's size and growth stage will have a strong influence on daily water intake. Consumption rates can be affected by environmental and management factors. Air temperature, relative humidity and the level of animal exertion or production level are examples of these factors. The quality of the water, which includes temperature, salinity and impurities affecting taste and odour, will also have an effect.

But, generally speaking, the average lifespan of an average horse is between 18 to 24 years. Some have lived a good deal longer, but most fall in this span. Race horses are athletes, and are usually in superb physical condition; are pampered in their stalls, and are purebloods. BUT, being a race horse and a pureblood can actually put a horse at great risk, especially if the breeder is not careful. The physiology of a race horse is different from the average horse simply because of the heavy handedness man has used in creating a longer, leaner form, more flexible spine, longer legs, etc., etc. Man's intervention however, can sometime breed in infirmities that don't show." }, { "docid": "D2490757#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061103151338AAxvVN8\nWhat is the average lifespan of a horse?", "text": "\"Pets Other - Pets What is the average lifespan of a horse?

It is an odd-toed ungulate mammal belonging to the taxonomic family Equidae. The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature, Eohippus, into the large, single-toed animal of today. Humans began to domesticate horses around 4000 BC, and their domestication is believed to have been widespread by 3000 BC. Horses in the subspecies caballus are domesticated, although some domesticated populations live in the wild as feral horses. These feral populations are not true wild horses, as this term is used to describe horses that have never been domesticated, such as the endangered Przewalski's horse, a separate subspecies, and the only remaining true wild horse. There is an extensive, specialized vocabulary used to describe equine-related concepts, covering everything from anatomy to life stages, size, colors, markings, breeds, locomotion, and behavior. Horses' anatomy enables them to make use of speed to escape predators and they have a well-developed sense of balance and a strong fight-or-flight response. Related to this need to flee from predators in the wild is an unusual trait: horses are able to sleep both standing up and lying down, with younger horses tending to sleep significantly more than adults.

Although the word thoroughbred is sometimes used to refer to any breed of purebred horse, it technically refers only to the Thoroughbred breed. Thoroughbreds are considered \"\" hot-blooded \"\" horses that are known for their agility, speed, and spirit. The Thoroughbred as it is known today was developed in 17th and 18th-century England, when native mares were crossbred with imported Oriental stallions of Arabian, Barb, and Turkoman breeding. All modern Thoroughbreds can trace their pedigrees to three stallions originally imported into England in the 17th century and 18th century and to a larger number of foundation mares of mostly English breeding. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the Thoroughbred breed spread throughout the world; they were imported into North America starting in 1730 and into Australia, Europe, Japan and South America during the 19th century. Millions of Thoroughbreds exist today, and around 100,000 foals are registered each year worldwide. Thoroughbreds are used mainly for racing, but are also bred for other riding disciplines such as show jumping, combined training, dressage, polo, and fox hunting. They are also commonly crossbred to create new breeds or to improve existing ones, and have been influential in the creation of the Quarter Horse, Standardbred, Anglo-Arabian, and various warmblood breeds." }, { "docid": "D355100#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_normal_heart_rate_of_horses\nWhat is a normal resting heart rate?", "text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Health Vital Signs Heart Rate Flag Share In Heart Rate What is the normal heart rate of horses?

It would be a good idea to start halter training at way less than a year and lead rope training at the same time or two weeks later to let them get used to the halter. At about 1-2 years old you should start to entroduce the bridle to the horse and lead them around for a while and lead them get the feel of the bit.

A degree in medicine, also known as an allopathic medicine degree, is a postgraduate degree conferred on those who complete the education and training necessary to become a doctor. In the past those wishing to pursue a degree in medicine would initially take a 4 year course in pre-med, but recently obtaining a bachelor's in a related field, such as biology, chemistry or engineering has become common place. Though any bachelor's degree along with a high Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) score can be used to obtain admission to medical school, pursuing a related major helps prepare students for the kind of work and knowledge necessary to be successful. Most schools require that students complete the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) prior to graduation. Those who successfully complete a medical degree program are given the title of M. D (Doctor of Medicine) and are qualified to become physicians. The medical field offers a wide array of career options in the United States. With upwards of 150 medical schools in the U. S. that award a Medical Doctor designation to graduates plus approximately 30 accredited medical schools that award a Doctor of Medicine to those that successfully complete a set of rigorous coursework. A doctor can be a graduate of a college of medicine, osteopathy, chiropractic, optometry, podiatry, dentistry, or veterinarian medicine and pursue a career as a surgeon, pediatrician, obstetrician, anesthesiologist, family practitioner, chiropractor, dentist, optometrist, podiatrist, or veterinarian.

This is licensed medical professional who has earned a medical degree making them a Medical Doctor (MD) but has also taken specialized training in the field of psychiatry. This field emphasizes the care and treatment of people who are suffering from mental illness. After getting their medical license there will be 3 – 4 years of additional study. There are many people who confuse a therapist with a psychiatrist but the major differences is that only medical doctors can use the title of psychiatrist and can prescribe medical therapies or medications to people with mental illness. The word “psychiatry” means “medical treatment of the soul.” Psychiatry was not a recognized medical field until the middle of the 19 th century. Job description of a psychiatrist One way to describe a psychiatrist is that they are medical professionals who “analyze, diagnose, and treat mental disorders.” While a psychiatrist student you can specialize in any field that interests them such as: Treating children with various mental disabilities Treating adults that are combating with post-trauma disorders Forensic psychiatry Geriatric psychiatry A psychiatrist will design and plan the required treatment for their patient by discussing with other health professionals like the patient’s primary care doctor, or a social worker. To treat the patient’s mental illness they may prescribe psychotherapeutic treatments and/or prescription medication." }, { "docid": "D3462575#0", "title": "http://www.medicalschoolsuccess.com/how-to-survive-medical-school/\nHow to Survive Medical School: Making It Through Academic Hell", "text": "How to Survive Medical School: Making It Through Academic Hell0 0 0So you want to learn how to survive medical school? If so, you are wise to prepare for one of the most rigorous academic training known to man. Every year, someone drops out, another fails out, and yet another is left back. This will be the reality for pretty much all medical school classes. The question is: how do you prevent yourself from being among the casualties? At the time of me writing this, I am a second year medical student in UMDNJ in Stratford, NJ. Although I love my school very much, it is academic hell. But if you gave me a choice of any medical school to attend, I would still make the same choice. Throughout my one and a half year in medical school, I have only one academic goal.

It received preliminary accreditation from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), preliminary accreditation from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), and full accreditation from the Connecticut State Board of Education in 2012. [ 3] [4] It welcomed its first class in 2013. As of February 2017, the school of medicine received full accreditation from the LCME. Netter is one of about a dozen new medical schools established in anticipation of increased demand for medical professionals following the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the aging of the baby boomer generation. [ 5] [6] It is notable for its commitment to primary care, stating that it hopes 50% of its graduates will go into primary care positions.

D. Updated September 21, 2017There are two basic types of medical training: allopathic and osteopathic. The traditional medical degree, the Doctor of Medicine (M. D.), requires training in allopathic medicine while osteopathic medical schools award the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D. O.) degree. Students hoping to achieve either degree attend medical schools and receive substantial training (4 years, not including residency ), and other than the osteopathic student's ability to administer osteopathic medicine, there is no real marked difference between the two programs. Training The curricula of both schools are similar. State licensing agencies and most hospitals and residency programs recognize the degrees as equivalent. In other words, osteopathic doctors are legally and professionally equivalent to allopathic doctors. The important difference between the two types of schools of training is that osteopathic medical schools take a holistic perspective on the practice of medicine based on a belief in treating the \"\"whole patient\"\" (mind-body-spirit) and the primacy of the musculoskeletal system in human health and the utility of osteopathic manipulative treatment. D. O. recipients emphasize prevention, a historical distinction which is less relevant as all of the medicine increasingly emphasizes prevention. Biomedical and clinical sciences take the forefront of both degree's training programs, requiring students of both fields to complete relatively the same course load (anatomy, microbiology, pathology, etc), but the osteopathic student additionally takes courses focused on hands-on manual medicine, including an additional 300-500 hours of study in manipulating the musculoskeletal system, a practice referred to as osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM)." }, { "docid": "D1616336#0", "title": "http://www.collegecalc.org/colleges/michigan/wayne-county-community-college-district/\nCost to Attend Wayne County Community College District", "text": "Annual Costs Undergraduate Tuition Wayne County Community College District tuition is $2,570 per year for in-district residents.

While automakers are enjoying robust sales of new cars and trucks in 2014, it would seem plenty of Americans continue to enjoy the same vehicle they’ve owned for more than a decade, according to a new survey. The average age of cars and trucks in the U. S. remains at an all-time high of 11.4 years as of Jan. 1, according to IHS Automotive and its Polk subsidiary. Beyond the Headlines!“In our history of tracking, we have seen a gradual increase in the average age of vehicles on the road,” said Mark Seng, director of aftermarket solutions at IHS Automotive, in a statement. “ This year, we’re seeing somewhat of a plateau in the market, and expect it to remain over the next few years. ”While that’s still at the highest levels since Polk started following the numbers, it is unchanged from last year. The only is one alteration: trucks have hit the same age level as cars. While sales, which are expected to exceed 16 million units this year, are strong, new cars joining the fleet aren’t being offset as much by higher scrappage rates of old cars. In other words, old cars are lasting longer. ( Nissan crowdsources ideas for Titan." } ]

The average age of a light vehicle on the road in the United States remained flat at 11.4 years at the end of 2013, and the total light vehicles in operation reached a record 252.7 million, up 2 percent from 2012, IHS Automotive said today. The average age of vehicles on the road reached an all-time high at the beginning of 2013, but IHS predicts the average age will remain at 11.4 years through 2015, and then rise to 11.7 years by 2019, the company said in a statement today. The slower rate of growth in the average age of a light vehicle, compared with the last five years, reflects the rebound of the auto industry and increase in new-vehicle sales. “This year we’re seeing somewhat of a plateau in the [average age of vehicles], and expect it to remain over the next few years, without a major change in either direction,” Mark Seng, director of IHS Automotive’s aftermarket solutions and global aftermarket practice leader, said in the statement. “ We attribute this to a number of factors, including the economy and increasing quality of today’s automobiles. ”From 2004 to 2009, the average age of vehicles rose 5 percent, he said. From 2009 to 2014, which includes the recession years, the average age of vehicles jumped 11 percent." }, { "docid": "D2747202#0", "title": "http://www.city-data.com/county/Hot_Springs_County-WY.html\nHot Springs County, Wyoming (WY)", "text": "Hot Springs County, Wyoming (WY)Follow city-data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur County population in 2016: 4,801 (69% urban, 31% rural); it was 4,882 in 2000County owner-occupied with a mortgage or a loan houses and condos in 2010: 801 County owner-occupied free and clear houses and condos in 2010: 726 County owner-occupied houses and condos in 2000: 1,446 Renter-occupied apartments: 658 (it was 662 in 2000)% of renters here: 31%State: 31%Land area: 2004 sq. mi.

Back in 2009, the mean age was a record low, 9.4 years. Since then the numbers have significantly increased, reaching to 11.4 years in 2013 and holding there in 2014. To collect these figures, IHS looked at vehicles in operation as of Jan. 1, 2015. The average age of both passenger cars and light trucks clocked in at 11.5 years in this year's analysis. In years past, pickups haven't tended to last quite as long, though. \"\" As long as we have tracked average age, it has gradually risen over time due to the increasing quality of automobiles,\"\" Mark Seng, global aftermarket practice leader at IHS Automotive, said in the study's announcement. This year's research also finds a record 257.9 million vehicles in operation in the US, a jump of 5.3 million over last year. As the older vehicles on the roads suggest, when people go to buy a car, they are keeping it longer. The average new purchase stays in the first owner's garage for a record of 77.8 months, or nearly 6.5 years." }, { "docid": "D331167#0", "title": "http://www.free-online-calculator-use.com/car-depreciation-calculator.html\nCar Depreciation Calculator for Calculating Auto Deprecation Costs", "text": "\"Home > Auto Calculators > Car Depreciation Calculator Car Depreciation Calculator for Calculating Auto Deprecation Costs Tap Here for Mobile Version [ Skip to Calculator ]Help you to forecast how much your auto depreciation costs will be, along with the lost interest earnings they will create.

You just might be shocked at how much these depreciation costs add up over the course of your lifetime -- not too mention how much of your potential future wealth will be forfeited in the process. If you would like to estimate all costs associated to buying and owning a vehicle (depreciation plus tax, license, finance charges, gasoline, insurance, maintenance, repairs, etc. ), be sure to visit the Car Buying Calculator . What is Depreciation? When you purchase a car you are actually trading one asset (cash) for another asset (automobile). At the time of the trade it's presumed that the value of the cash traded away is equal to the value of the automobile the cash was traded for. In other words, no expense should actually occur at the time of the trade (if only that were true in all cases). An expense occurs as the value of the automobile drops below the value of the cash that was traded for it." }, { "docid": "D1247192#0", "title": "http://www.city-data.com/county/Dallas_County-MO.html\nDallas County, Missouri (MO)", "text": "Dallas County, Missouri (MO)Follow city-data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur County population in 2016: 16,598 (18% urban, 82% rural); it was 15,661 in 2000County owner-occupied with a mortgage or a loan houses and condos in 2010: 2,920 County owner-occupied free and clear houses and condos in 2010: 2,128 County owner-occupied houses and condos in 2000: 4,774 Renter-occupied apartments: 1,476 (it was 1,256 in 2000)% of renters here: 21%State: 31%Land area: 542 sq. mi.

Jun. 9, 2011 5:21 AM ET | Includes: AAL, DAL, UALValuentum Long/short equity, newsletter provider, valuentum Valuentum Securities With jet fuel once again on the rise and the economic environment becoming even more uncertain, it's informative for airline stock speculators to know which carriers have the oldest fleets. The age (and model) of an aircraft could have large implications on fuel efficiency and ultimately the airline's cost structure, which becomes absolutely paramount under poor economic conditions. Let's evaluate the fleets of the Big Four legacy carriers in the U. S. US Airways ( LCC)As of the end of last year, US Airways was flying nearly 60 Boeing 737 Classics and 10 legacy 767s that were on average about 21 years old. These Classics and legacy 767s are roughly 15%-20% less fuel efficient than the 737NG and 787 Dreamliner, the respective replacements offered by the commercial OEMs. The average age of US Airways' mainline fleet is 12.3 years. Click to enlarge: What is US Airways buying? From its 10-K: US Airways has definitive purchase agreements with Airbus for the acquisition of 134 aircraft, including 97 single-aisle A320 family aircraft and 37 widebody aircraft (comprised of 22 A350XWB aircraft and 15 A330-200 aircraft). Since 2008, when deliveries commenced under the purchase agreements, we have taken delivery of 34 aircraft through December 31, 2010, which includes four A320 aircraft, 23 A321 aircraft and seven A330-200 aircraft... US Airways plans to take delivery of 12 A320 family aircraft in each of 2011 and 2012, with the remaining 46 A320 family aircraft scheduled to be delivered between 2013 and 2015. In addition, US Airways plans to take delivery of the eight remaining A330-200 aircraft in 2013 and 2014." } ]

Founded by the Irish government, it was privatised between 2006 and 2015 and it is now a wholly owned subsidiary of International Airlines Group (IAG), the parent company of British Airways and Iberia. The airline's head office is on the grounds of Dublin Airport in Cloghran, County Dublin, Ireland. Formed in 1936, Aer Lingus is a former member of the Oneworld airline alliance, which it left on 31 March 2007. After the takeover by IAG, it was expected that Aer Lingus would re-enter Oneworld, however, at a press briefing on 15 November 2017 the airline's CEO Stephen Kavanagh stated that the airline has \"\"no plans to join Oneworld\"\". [ 4] The airline has codeshares with Oneworld, Star Alliance and Sky Team members, as well as interline agreements with Etihad Airways, Jet Blue Airways and United Airlines. Aer Lingus has a hybrid business model, [5] operating a mixed fare service [6] on its European and North African routes and full service, two-class flights on transatlantic routes. Ryanair owned over 29% of Aer Lingus stock and the Irish state owned over 25% before being bought out by IAG in 2015. The state had previously held an 85% shareholding until the Government's decision to float the company on the Dublin and London Stock Exchanges on 2 October 2006. The principal group companies include Aer Lingus Limited, Aer Lingus Beachey Limited, Aer Lingus (Ireland) Limited and Dirnan Insurance Company Limited, all of which are wholly owned.

But don't forget, the Wright Brothers achieved an unprecedented level of airmanship—and marketing —that went far beyond those first few minutes aloft on the beaches of Kitty Hawk. The Wrights' use of wing warping to achieve bank, in coordination with yaw from the rudder, allowed their craft to be properly controlled. This concept is still used on virtually every plane in the air today. Not satisfied with being first in flight, the brothers spent many years unsuccessfully attempting to sell their invention, specifically to the U. S. and European governments as military vehicles. They went on a public tour instead, and nearly five years after their first flight, Wilbur Wright became world famous overnight after a public showing at the flying field in Le Mans, France, in 1908 before a very skeptical audience. This performance inspired an aviation revolution across western Europe that would lead to rapid advancement in the understanding and development of powered flying machines.

Southwest became the nation's largest domestic air carrier in 2003 and maintains that ranking based on the U. S. Department of Transportation's most recent reporting of domestic originating passengers boarded. During peak travel seasons, Southwest operates more than 4,000 weekday departures among a network of 100 destinations in the United States and 10 additional countries. Southwest has announced its intention to sell tickets in 2018 for service to Hawaii, subject to requisite governmental approvals. Southwest coined Trans fare ncy® to describe its purposed philosophy of treating Customers honestly and fairly, and low fares actually staying low. Southwest is the only major U. S. airline to offer bags fly free® to everyone (first and second checked pieces of luggage, size and weight limits apply, some carriers offer free checked bags on select routes or in qualified circumstances), and there are no change fees, though fare differences might apply. As launch Customer of the Boeing 737 MAX 8 in North America, the Company operates the largest fleet in the world of Boeing aircraft, all of which are equipped with satellite-based Wi Fi. Customers who connect to the Wi Fi network may use their personal devices to view on-demand movies and television shows, as well as nearly 20 channels of free, live TV. With a bold new look first unveiled in 2014, Southwest is progressing through a multi-year refresh of its fleet to showcase the carrier's Heart: a new logo,aircraft livery, interior design featuring new seats, Employee-designed uniforms, and an updated airport experience, all of which showcase a dedication of Southwest Employees to connect Customers with what's important in their lives. From its first flights on June 18, 1971, Southwest Airlines launched an era of unprecedented affordability in air travel described by the U. S. Department of Transportation as \"\"The Southwest Effect,\"\" a lowering of fares and increase in passenger traffic wherever the carrier serves." }, { "docid": "D978760#0", "title": "http://index.heritage.org/military/2015/chapter/us-power/us-air-force/\nU.S. Air Force", "text": "The U.

Investing 2/28/2014 @ 1:43PM 10,722 views Southwest's Fleet Initiatives Are Helping Preserve Its Low-Cost Advantage Trefis Team , Contributor Southwest Airlines ‘ low-cost model has historically been the cornerstone of its business strategy. The carrier designed its low-cost model in order to profitably charge lower fares from customers that in turn enabled it to eat into market shares of legacy carriers such as United, Delta and American. However, over the past few years, as these legacy carriers have lowered their cost structures through restructuring during bankruptcies, the relative cost advantage that Southwest possessed has shrunk. Faced with a challenge to one of its key business strategies, Southwest has undertaken a number of fleet initiatives in order to lower its costs and preserve its relative cost advantage. In recent months, the carrier has retrofitted its airplane cabins with slimmer seats, installed winglets on its airplane wingtips, added more fuel efficient airplanes to its fleet and retired less efficient, older ones from its fleet, as part of these measures. The carrier continues to take such measures to further lower its costs. Here we a take a look at the major fleet initiatives that Southwest is currently undertaking. In our opinion, these measures are important for Southwest to not only retain its cost advantage compared to legacy carriers but also maintain healthy margins while charging lower fares from customers. We currently have a stock price estimate of $21.95 for Southwest, marginally below its current market price." }, { "docid": "D1297454#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copa_Airlines\nCopa Airlines", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Copa Airlines IATA ICAO Callsign CM CMP COPAFounded 21 June 1944Commenced operations 15 August 1947Hubs Tocumen International Airport (Panama City)Focus cities El Dorado International Airport La Aurora International Airport Juan Santamaría International Airport Augusto C.

S. Navy The Navy continues to be marginally capable of defending U. S. interests. Its fleet remains undersized and readiness challenges have grown. Download Assessment View 2015 Assessment The Navy’s mandate is “to be where it matters, when it matters.” 1 As the military’s primary maritime arm, the Navy enables the United States to project military power in the maritime and air domains, a critical capability in war, crisis response, and peacetime engagement missions. Unlike land forces (or even, to a large extent, air forces), which are tethered to a set of fixed, larger-scale support bases, the Navy is able to shift its presence wherever needed so long as the world’s oceans and seas permit. In addition to the ability to project combat power rapidly anywhere in the world, the Navy’s peacetime forward presence supports missions that include securing sea lines of communication (SLOC) for the free flow of goods and services, assuring U. S. allies and friends, deterring adversaries, and providing a timely response to crises short of war. Three key documents inform the Navy as to the level of its day-to-day fleet requirements: the 2012 Defense Strategic Guidance ( DSG ); 2 the fiscal year (FY) 2015 Global Force Management Allocation Plan ( GFMAP ); 3 and the 2015 update to “A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower.” 4 The 2012 DSG issued by the Secretary of Defense describes 10 primary missions for the Navy and the other branches of the U. S. military. In addition, the U. S. Navy must meet forward presence requirements laid out in the FY 2015 GFMAP, which states the force presence needed around the world as determined by the combatant commanders (COCOMs) and the Secretary of Defense. 5This past year, the Navy was able to avert some of the foreseen challenges caused by budget cuts as a result of legislative action; however, as Admiral Jonathan Greenert, Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), testified in his March 2015 posture statement, the Navy was “compelled to further reduce the capacity of weapons and aircraft, slow modernization, and delay upgrades to all but the most critical shore infrastructure” due to continued budget shortfalls of $11 billion." }, { "docid": "D1840739#0", "title": "http://www.popularmechanics.com/military/a8987/why-the-air-force-flies-50-year-old-tankers-15427304/\nWhy the Air Force Flies 50-Year-Old Tankers", "text": "\"By Joe Pappalardo May 3, 2013 242U. S. Air Force The cause of the U. S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker crash in northern Kyrgyzstan today—and the fate of the crew of three—is unknown at this time. But today's news is likely to reopen questions over why the United States is dependent on aircraft that were developed in the 1950s to extend the range of its warplanes, and what is being done to replace an aircraft that the Air Force acknowledges uses obsolete parts and aged avionics. The answers to both questions are troubling. The Pentagon tried to replace its aging fleet of tankers in 2001, but scandal and industrial disputes derailed the effort. Even now, a dozen years later, we're not even close. The Air Force now has 418 KC-135 tankers in its inventory, but only 178 replacements will be ready to fly in 2028. That means these old birds will be flying for quite some time—until 2040—a fact that forced the Air Force to embark on a recently concluded upgrade to extend the life of the KC-135 fleet. That effort, which ended in April, added a digital flight director, a radar altimeter, an electronic engine instrument display, and Automatic Flight Control System to the aircraft. None of these safety enhancements were on the KC-135 that crashed this week. But if weather or visibility was a factor, the radar altimeter could have been particularly helpful to provide ground proximity warning." }, { "docid": "D3087358#0", "title": "http://breakingdefense.com/2014/01/the-navys-carrier-crunch-even-without-budget-cuts-deployments-will-drop/\nThe Navyâs Carrier Crunch: Even Without Budget Cuts, Deployments Will Drop", "text": "Congress, Sea The Navy’s Carrier Crunch: Even Without Budget Cuts, Deployments Will Drop By Sydney J.

US commanders around the world keep asking for carriers to cover trouble spots from Syria , Iran, and Afghanistan to the Western Pacific and the South China Sea, but the Navy doesn’t have enough to go around. And they may well lose another. In recent years, amazingly, the Navy has managed to increase the number of aircraft carriers deployed overseas at any given time even as the total number of carriers in service decreased. But the price was high: extra-long deployments, stressed-out crews, and overworked ships requiring extensive and expensive unplanned maintenance. Now the Navy has decided it just cannot get as much work out of the carriers it has — just as the budget cuts known as sequestration may leave it with fewer carriers. “I don’t see any way you can cut a carrier and defend the country,” Rep. Randy Forbes, chairman of the House Armed Services subcommittee on seapower, told my colleague Colin Clark last night. “ You would have to assume a great deal more risk than we have been willing to assume. ”“We currently are an 11-carrier navy in a 15-carrier world,” Forbes said, referring to repeated Navy studies that say only a fleet of 15 could meet global demand." }, { "docid": "D1594492#0", "title": "http://wiki.phantis.com/index.php/Olympic_Airlines\nOlympic Airlines", "text": "\"Olympic Airlinesnavigation search Olympic Airlines (Ολυμπιακές Αερογραμμές - OA) was the state-run flag carrier of Greece, employing about 1850 people.

The new cockpit includes multi-function displays; flight management systems; modern flight control computers with fully coupled autopilot; an integrated vehicle health management system with flight data and cockpit voice recorder; inertial navigation systems with embedded global positioning systems; improved data modem; and improved heads-up displays. The narrower cockpit instrument panel will also significantly improve chin window visibility. The UH-60M program is funded through FY 2010 and will encompass the transformation or recapitalization of UH-60A-to-UH-60A or M. The modification will include upgrades to the airframe, propulsion and drive train, digital cockpit and provide a crashworthy external fuel system, which incorporates a submerged boost pump verses the positive air pressure system currently in use. The new, rebuilt Black Hawk, designated the UH-60M, will use the older L model's T-701C engines, gear box, windshield, heating system, and crashworthy seats, but it also include many new features such as a digital cockpit with multifunctional displays, digital flight controls, global positioning, active vibration suppression, upgraded troop seats, improved infrared suppression, jamming and warning systems, and a revised fuel tank. In 1978 the first UH-60A Black Hawk rolled off of the production line at Sikorsky Aircraft Company, and the Army had its first new utility helicopter since the UH-1 Huey was introduced in 1959." }, { "docid": "D2569328#0", "title": "http://splash.alaskasworld.com/Newsroom/ASNews/ASstories/AS_20160510_025353.asp\nAlaska Airlines Welcomes Japan Airlines as Newest Mileage Plan and Codeshare Partner", "text": "\"Alaska Airlines Welcomes Japan Airlines as Newest Mileage Plan and Codeshare Partner New global partner gives Alaska frequent flier members travel and mileage accrual to Japan and throughout Asia5/10/2016 3:00 am (PT) SEATTLE — Alaska Airlines and Japan Airlines (JAL) have announced plans for a codeshare agreement and frequent flier partnership, which will provide seamless travel and mileage earning opportunities between Alaska's gateways in North America, Japan and throughout Asia.

S. Army Rangers By Marshall Moore; Updated October 04, 2017Army Ranger students learning proper patrol techniques Soldiers in the United States Army's 75th Ranger Regiment are some of the finest combat troops the service has to offer. In order to become an Army Ranger, soldiers must be in excellent physical condition, intelligent and be exceptionally qualified within their military occupational specialty. In addition to these qualifications, Army Rangers must meet certain basic age criteria in order to be considered for selection and assignment. Basic Age Requirements Army Ranger in camouflage during training There are technically no specific age requirements for soldiers seeking to become Army Rangers. Thus, the effective age limits are the same as those required to join the Army in the first place. Applicants must be at least 17 years old (or 18 without parental permission) and no older than 41 years old. While these are the minimum and maximum ages, however, keep in mind the Army Rangers must be both extremely qualified in their job field and in excellent physical fitness [Reference 2]. Thus, the odds of an 18-year-old with little Army experience being accepted into the 75th Ranger Regiment are slim to none. In the same vein, a 40-year-old applicant whose best athletic days have passed him by is just as likely to be passed over. Officer Age Requirements U. S. Army Ranger rappels down tower The Rangers do not put an age limit on officers looking to join the regiment. However, they must be ranked between first lieutenant and major (O-2 to O-4)." } ]

They proved their mettle yet again in the Mexican War, but many Rangers went on to fight against their former U. S. army comrades when Texas joined the Confederacy during the Civil War. From Wild West train robbers and gunfighters in the 1870s to bootleggers and gamblers in the 1920s, criminals in Texas faced the wrath of the Rangers. Now an elite police squad tasked with the state’s most serious criminal investigations, the Texas Rangers have undergone many changes in their colorful history—and some particularly memorable characters have emerged over the years. John Coffee Hays Born in Tennessee, Hays arrived in San Antonio in 1837, shortly after Texas won its independence from Mexico. By 1841, at the tender age of 23, he was a Ranger captain. A fearless fighter and skilled leader, Hays won his fame defending Texans from raids and attacks by both Native American (Comanche) groups and Mexican bandits. More than any other man, he would come to symbolize the Rangers of the Texas Republic era. During the Mexican War (1846-48), Hays’ Rangers scouted, defended U. S. supply and communication lines from attacks by Mexican guerrillas and fought alongside regular U. S. army troops, earning a national reputation for their bravery. After the war, Hays went further west to California, where he made his name in politics, real estate and ranching and helped found the city of Oakland." }, { "docid": "D2124059#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_V._Wilson\nSamuel V.

When the war ended, the British Army would live on, while the Loyalist Provincial Corps, as the British called the Tory units, would fade away. The following introduction to these nearly forgotten Loyalist military units was contributed by Todd W.

The intent of the APFT is to provide a baseline assessment regardless of your Military Occupational Specialty. The APFT is to be taken at least twice a calendar year and you must be able to meet the minimum standards to be eligible for promotion, transfer, and to attend Army schools. The three PFT events are two minutes of push-ups, two minutes of sit-ups, and a timed 2-mile run. Your results from each event are assigned a score. To pass you must Score 180 points or higher with at least 60 points in each event. Your age, gender and the amount of repetitions or time elapsed for each event determines your score. Unlike other military endurance tests the APFT is normally performed in normal workout gear and running shoes." }, { "docid": "D587955#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranger_Assessment_and_Selection_Program\nRanger Assessment and Selection Program", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search [ hide]This article has multiple issues.

D. A. M. Risk Factors Age Bipolar disorder usually first occurs between the ages of 15 - 30 years, with an average age of onset at 25 years. However, bipolar disorder can affect people of all ages, including children. Bipolar disorder that occurs late in life often accompanies medical and neurological problems (particularly cerebrovascular disease, such as stroke). It is less likely to be associated with a family history of the disorder than earlier-onset bipolar disorder. Gender Bipolar disorder affects both sexes equally, but there is a higher incidence of rapid cycling, mixed states, and cyclothymia in women. Early-onset bipolar disorder tends to occur more frequently in men and it is associated with a more severe condition. Men with bipolar disorder also tend to have higher rates of substance abuse (drugs, alcohol) than women. Family History Bipolar disorder frequently occurs within families. Family members of patients with bipolar disorder are also more likely to have other psychiatric disorders." } ]

Some authors believe that King Saul was also suffering from this disease and David used to relieve his depression by playing music for him. The ancient Greeks and Romans coined the terms \"\"melancholia\"\" and \"\"mania.\"\" Hippocrates was the first to describe melancholia which is the Greek word for \"\"black bile\"\" and simultaneously postulated a biochemical origin according to the scientific frame of that era, linking it to Saturn and the autumn. Mania was described as madness with elevated mood but it included a broad spectrum of excited psychotic states the way we understand them today. Soranus was the first to describe mixed states. Aretaeus of Cappadocia (2nd century AD) is considered to be the one who strongly connected melancholia with mania and made a description of manic episodes very close to the modern approach, including psychotic features and seasonality. Another interesting element in the theories that emerged during antiquity was the concept of temperament which was originally based on harmony and balance of the four humors, of which the sanguine humor was considered to be the healthiest but also predisposing to mania. The melancholic temperament was linked to black bile and was considered to predispose to melancholia. Since the time of Aristotle (384–322 BC), the melancholic temperament was linked to creativity." }, { "docid": "D625348#0", "title": "https://www.neurotransmitter.net/cobipolar.html\n.", "text": "\"Web www.neurotransmitter.net (Updated 1/12/04)Sasson Y, Chopra M, Harrari E, Amitai K, Zohar J.

There is convincing evidence that rates of substance use and anxiety disorders are higher among patients with bipolar disorder compared to their rates in the general population. The interaction between anxiety disorders and substance use goes both ways: patients with bipolar disorder have a higher rate of substance use and anxiety disorder, and vice versa. Bipolar disorder is also associated with borderline personality disorder and ADHD, and to a lesser extent with weight gain. As more than 40% of bipolar patients have anxiety disorder, it is indicated that while diagnosing bipolar patients, systematic enquiry about different anxiety disorders is called for. This also presents a therapeutic challenge, since agents that effectively treat anxiety disorders are associated with the risk of induced mania. Therefore, the treating psychiatrist needs to carefully evaluate the potential benefit of treating the anxiety against the potential cost of inducing a manic episode." }, { "docid": "D1250034#0", "title": "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC181115/\nTopiramate in Bipolar and Schizoaffective Disorders: Weight Loss and Efficacy", "text": "Prim Care Companion J Clin Psychiatry. 2000 Jun; 2 (3): 96–100.

Method: We conducted a retrospective chart review of 5 patients with DSM-IV bipolar disorder or schizoaffective disorder who were treated with topiramate as adjunctive therapy or monotherapy. Results: All 5 patients had a good response to treatment at a mean topiramate dose of 195 mg/day (range, 100–375 mg/day). All patients lost a substantial amount of weight on topiramate treatment. The average weight loss was 22 lb (10 kg; range, 8–56 lb [4–25 kg]). None of the patients discontinued topiramate because of side effects.

Previously known as manic depression, bipolar disorder was once thought to occur rarely in youth. However, approximately 20% of adults with bipolar disorder had symptoms beginning in adolescence. Polygenic investigations indicate that this disorder is phenotypically separate (with or without psychosis) from schizoaffective disorders and schizophrenia. [ 1]The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition ( DSM-5) does not distinguish adult-onset from childhood- or adolescent-onset symptoms of bipolar disorder. However, bipolar disorder in children is now referred to as disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD). The diagnostic criteria for bipolar disorder are the same regardless of the patient’s age at the onset of symptoms. [ 2]DSM-5 uses universal symptoms to define the diagnostic criteria for mood episodes, including major depressive and manic episodes. At least 1 true manic episode, with or without psychotic features, is the necessary and sufficient criterion for type I bipolar disorder (BPI). A depressive episode is insufficient for this diagnosis, even in the presence of a strong family history of bipolar disorder." }, { "docid": "D111262#0", "title": "https://www.samhsa.gov/disorders/mental\nMental Disorders", "text": "Get the facts on common mental disorders, such as those related to anxiety, attention deficit, conduct, depression, schizophrenia, and trauma. The following are descriptions of the most common categories of mental illness in the United States. Anxiety Disorders Anxiety disorders are characterized by excessive fear or anxiety that is difficult to control and negatively and substantially impacts daily functioning. Fear refers to the emotional response to a real or perceived threat while anxiety is the anticipation of a future threat. These disorders can range from specific fears (called phobias), such as the fear of flying or public speaking, to more generalized feelings of worry and tension. Anxiety disorders typically develop in childhood and persist to adulthood. Specific anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, separation anxiety disorder, and social anxiety disorder (social phobia). National prevalence data indicate that nearly 40 million people in the United States (18%) experience an anxiety disorder in any given year. According to SAMHSA’s report, Behavioral Health, United States – 2012, lifetime phobias and generalized anxiety disorders are the most prevalent among adolescents between the ages of 13 and 18 and have the earliest median age of first onset, around age 6. Phobias and generalized anxiety usually first appear around age 11, and they are the most prevalent anxiety disorders in adults." }, { "docid": "D2713368#0", "title": "http://www.healthyplace.com/blogs/breakingbipolar/2013/03/will-bipolar-son-be-okay/\nWill My Bipolar Son Be Okay?", "text": "Will My Bipolar Son Be Okay?

But a bipolar diagnosis doesn’t just affect the person with bipolar disorder. A bipolar diagnosis can affect their family and friends, especially if the person with bipolar disorder is younger. It’s completely understandable for a parent to wonder if bipolar disorder is a death sentence. It’s completely understandable for a parent to wonder if his or her child is going to be okay.

People with bipolar experience high and low moods—known as mania and depression—which differ from the typical ups-and-downs most people experience. The average age-of-onset is about 25, but it can occur in the teens, or more uncommonly, in childhood. The condition affects men and women equally, with about 2.6% of the U. S. population diagnosed with bipolar disorder and nearly 83% of cases classified as severe. If left untreated, bipolar disorder usually worsens. However, with a good treatment plan including psychotherapy, medications, a healthy lifestyle, a regular schedule and early identification of symptoms, many people live well with the condition. Symptoms Symptoms and their severity can vary. A person with bipolar disorder may have distinct manic or depressed states but may also have extended periods—sometimes years—without symptoms. A person can also experience both extremes simultaneously or in rapid sequence." } ]

Flickr/ devinf The average age of American women having their first child reached a record high of 26 years old in 2013, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Vital Statistics Report. The average age of first-time mothers is increasing because more women are waiting until their 30s and 40s to start having kids and fewer women are having their first kids in their teens and 20s, the CDC report says. The majority of all births are still to women under 35 (about 85% of the total), but rates for all births, not just of a first child, to women over 35 have been rising over the past 20 years, while birth rates for younger women are stable or declining. That trend is no small matter. It's already changing families, lives, and economies, and as having kids later becomes more common, those changes will become more widespread. We're only beginning to adjust, but make no mistake: Older parents are not going away, and the impact of this shift is huge. What's driving the shift? It's a general trend that as more women get an education and enter the workforce, they marry and start having kids later in life, Stephanie Coontz, co-chair and Director of Research and Public Education for the Council on Contemporary Families, told Business Insider.

While demographers are concerned about the population explosion, various population theorists propose a goal of zero growth as the only way to save the fast diminishing natural resources. This Buzzle post provides information on this highly debatable topic and elaborates on the meaning of 'zero population growth' or ZPG. Alarming!According to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), it is estimated that the world population will reach 9.3 billion by 2050. The World Bank Development Education Program states that a majority of the population in developing countries still believes in the notion of 'children are a gift from God' or 'children help continue the family line', thereby resulting in a population explosion. Whereas the developed countries are riding high on woman's liberation movements and increased abortion rates that have resulted in an imbalance between the birth and death rates prompting a fervent plea to adopt the zero population growth model. Most demographers believe that there will be a shift in the paradigm of the developing countries as well, and the world might achieve the theorized balanced population by the turn of this century. Let us further explore this demographic phenomenon.

TRUEOrigins: Although we can see a tremendous amount of variety in the plant and animal life all around us — both within and between species — many of us still find extremes in variety among human beings somewhat disconcerting. While an extraordinarily large dog or a cat with an unusually long tail may be regarded as nothing more than a momentarily interesting curiosity or a source of amusement, people who exhibit one of the extremes in human development — whether it be in intelligence, height, weight, or some other feature — have long struggled to avoid being identified as “freaks. ”Perhaps the most discomfiting record of this nature involves the youngest person ever to give birth, reputedly a five-year-old girl — not only because such a record posits that a child barely of kindergarten age involuntarily underwent an experience we associate with physical and psychological maturity, but also because it implies the commission of an act now considered to be nothing less than child molestation. Regardless of our squeamishness, we have to note that the claim of a five-year-old girl giving birth is apparently true. Her name was Lina Medina, a Peruvian girl from the Andean village of Ticrapo who made medical history when she gave birth to a boy by caesarean section in May 1939 at the age of five years, seven months and 21 days. Lina’s parents initially thought their daughter had a large abdominal tumor, but after they took her to a hospital in the town of Pisco physicians confirmed that her abdominal swelling was due to pregnancy. Lina was eventually transferred to a hospital in Lima, where she delivered a six-pound baby boy by Cesarean section on 14 May 1939 (coincidentally the date on which Mother’s Day was celebrated that year). Lina’s father was temporarily jailed on suspicion of incest, but he was released for a lack of evidence and authorities were never able to determine who fathered Lina’s child. Lina’s incredible story was documented in contemporaneous reports by Edmundo Escomel, one of Peru’s preeminent physician-researchers of the period and a laureate of the prestigious French Academy of Sciences." }, { "docid": "D2543492#0", "title": "https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Relationships/Where_Couples_Met\nRelationships/Where Couples Met", "text": "\"< Relationshipsnavigation search A Wikibookian questions the neutrality of this page.

First and foremost of these obstacles are financial difficulties that can make it difficult to pay for your education and earn a college degree. Many women who are single parents are not given other types of financial assistance unless they're living in poverty or other crises. Many mothers then feel that they have no other choice but to borrow money for college tuition and living expenses. Loans can be quite a burden to repay, and both single parent women and mothers want to improve their lives and the lives of their children by earning a degree to advancing their career. This is why it's important to know about scholarships that are available for moms, working mothers and single mothers. The more scholarships you are aware of, the better off you'll be. As the saying goes, \"\"Forewarned is forearmed\"\"-- so you will want to know what all of your possible options are when it comes to financial assistance. It is a smart idea to apply to as many scholarships as possible in order to maximize your chances of getting the type of college education that you'll need. Scholarships and grants awarded to moms looking to earn a degree will open the door to many career opportunities in your chosen field." }, { "docid": "D163406#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_the_workforce\nWomen in the workforce", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A woman employee demonstrates a hospital information management system, Tanzania Percent of women in the workforce among all women aged 20–64 years in the European Union in 2011. [ 1]Women in the workforce earning wages or salary are part of a modern phenomenon, one that developed at the same time as the growth of paid employment for men, but women have been challenged by inequality in the workforce. Until modern times, legal and cultural practices examples needed, combined with the inertia of longstanding religious and educational conventions, restricted women's entry and participation in the workforce. Economic dependency upon men, and consequently the poor socio-economic status of women, have had the same impact, particularly as occupations have become professionalized over the 19th and 20th centuries. Women's lack of access to higher education had effectively excluded them from the practice of well-paid and high status occupations. Entry of women into the higher professions like law and medicine was delayed in most countries due to women being denied entry to universities and qualification for degrees; for example, Cambridge University only fully validated degrees for women late in 1947, and even then only after much opposition and acrimonious debate. [ 2] Women were largely limited to low-paid and poor status occupations for most of the 19th and 20th centuries, or earned less pay than men for doing the same work. However, through the 20th century, public perceptions of paid work shifted source needed as the workforce increasingly moved to office jobs that do not require heavy labor, and women increasingly acquired the higher education that led to better-compensated, longer-term careers rather than lower-skilled, shorter-term jobs. Despite this, women are still at a disadvantage compared to men because of motherhood how?. Women are viewed as the primary caregiver to children still to this day source needed, so their pay is lowered when they have children because businesses do not expect them to stay long after the birth source needed." }, { "docid": "D397194#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_maternal_age\nAdvanced maternal age", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Advanced maternal age, in a broad sense, is the instance of a woman being of an older age at a stage of reproduction, although there are various definitions of specific age and stage of reproduction. [ 1] The variability in definitions is in part explained by the effects of increasing age occurring as a continuum rather than as a threshold effect. [ 1]In Western, Northern, and Southern Europe, first-time mothers are on average 26 to 29 years old, up from 23 to 25 years at the start of the 1970s. In a number of European countries (Spain), the mean age of women at first childbirth has crossed the 30 year threshold. [ 2]This process is not restricted to Europe. Asia, Japan and the United States are all seeing average age at first birth on the rise, and increasingly the process is spreading to countries in the developing world like China, Turkey and Iran. In the U. S., the average age of first childbirth was 26 in 2013.

Getting Pregnant during a Woman’s 20s The optimum age for fertility for women begins at the age of 18 but according to Parenting.com, a woman is at her most fertile during her early 20s and there is the lowest risk of miscarriage (9.5% between ages 20 and 24 and 10% between ages 25 and 29). Women in their early twenties may be more focused on their education, or may resent having to postpone a career due to children.

A pioneer in the temperance movement, Frances Willard is also remembered for her contributions to higher education. From the time she assumed presidency of the Women's Christian Temperance Union in 1879 until her death, Willard used her powerful position to pursue her broad vision for sweeping social reforms to benefit women, including women's suffrage, women's economic rights, as well as prison, education and labor reform. Willard captivated the imaginations and mobilized the sentiments of countless women. Her vision progressed to include federal aid to education, free school lunches, unions for workers, the eight-hour work day, work relief for the poor, municipal sanitation and boards of health, national transportation, strong anti-rape laws and protections against child abuse. Childhood and Early Years Frances Elizabeth Caroline Willard was born September 28, 1839 to Josiah Flint Willard and Mary Thompson Hill Willard on a small farm in Churchville, near Rochester, New York. Frances had two siblings, Oliver and Mary, and her cousin was educator Emma Willard. When she was three, the family moved to Oberlin, Ohio. In 1846 the family moved again, this time to Janesville, Wisconsin, where her father had purchased a large farm.

A major problem for Canada is the gendered wage gap. Among the 34 nations of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Canada ranks as the 4th worst country for gendered inequality in wages, ahead of just Korea, Japan, and Germany. This inequality exists despite the fact that more women than men are attaining post-secondary degrees. Part of this may be explained with the career choice differences between men and women, with fewer women pursuing high paying jobs in scientific fields such as engineering (24%) and computer sciences (18%). This would not account for the whole of the gender wage gap. It is also possible that jobs such as these pay higher because they have few women and traditionally have been viewed as careers for men. When it comes to the number of employed women Canada does pretty well with 69% of women being employed. This is 9% higher than the OECD average of 60%, but there are still a disproportionate number of women working part time jobs (27%) versus men (12%). This contributes to why Canada ranks so poorly overall, because the gendered wage gap is highest for people in the lowest wage percentiles." }, { "docid": "D3018649#0", "title": "http://www.express.co.uk/expressyourself/292785/I-tamed-Warren-Beatty\nI tamed Warren Beatty", "text": "I tamed Warren Beatty ANNETTE BENING recalls that Hollywood could hardly contain its laughter when she married Warren Beatty.

I had an opportunity to hear Andy Lorenzen, the Director of Talent Strategy and Systems for Chick-fil-A, speak at the SHRM-Atlanta meeting this week. There was a lot of information in his very interesting presentation, but one thing stood out to me and this is what I feel the lesson in retention is from this chicken restaurant. Lorenzen said that Chick-fil-A makes sure they maintain strong people practices. They realize there has to be a balance between results and relationships. Lorenzen said they have realized that everyone has a bias toward either results or relationships. They teach people to understand their biases, because without this understanding a leader cannot build the correct team around them. Apparently what they do works. Chick-fil-A is debt free and has $4.1 billion in sales. Pretty good considering the average age of their 71,000 employees is 19 years." } ]

The chain started in the Greenbriar Shopping Center in Atlanta in 1967, and I'd only stopped by outlets in food courts. Stand-alone restaurants abound, though—like the one I visited in Metairie, LA, where at 11:45, the drive-thru line already wrapped around the building. More Sandwiches Tips and tricks for making the best sandwiches at home. Always known for their chicken sandwiches, Chick-fil-A introduced a Spicy Chicken option to their menu only last month. I've long been a fan of Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich, and I wanted to see how Chick-fil-A's would compare. Fast food isn't just about the food; a large portion of value is found in the speed and service, both of which impressed me at Chick-fil-A. Given the long drive-thru line, I opted for take-out, and no less than five cashiers greeted me inside. The cashier who took my order smiled and teased me about being a Northerner; we chatted for a second as he gave me change." }, { "docid": "D3392172#0", "title": "http://openandclosehours.com/chick-fil-a-hours/\nChick Fil A Hours â What Time does Chick Fil A Close?", "text": "Chick Fil A Hours – What Time does Chick Fil A Close?

The privately held chain did over $2.5 billion in systemwide sales in 2009 from over 1,300 franchised stores in the U. S. The founder of Chick-Fil-A, Truett Cathy, 88, credits the company’s success to over 1000 franchisees and over 600 employees who are unusually dedicated in an industry known for grumpy operators and high turnover among hourly workers. The turnover among Chick-fil-A franchise operators is an extremely low 5% a year. Among Chick-fil-A hourly workers turnover is 60%, compared with 107% for the industry. Chick-fil-A focuses on hiring and bringing in franchisees who are looking for lifetime commitments to the company. That’s not the only company mandate. Chick-fil-A’s corporate mission is to “glorify God.” It is the only national fast-food chain that closes on Sundays which allows franchise operators to go to church and spend time with their families; franchisees who don’t go along with the rule risk having their contracts terminated which is unusual in today’s “bottom line” approach. Chick-fil-A’s approach is to balance life with work which seems to be working. Many of the Chick-fil-A franchisees have come from the foster homes run by a nonprofit organization Chick-fil-A funds, the Win Shape Foundation ." }, { "docid": "D1087380#0", "title": "http://locations.where2getit.com/chickfila/NM/ALBUQUERQUE/index.html\nALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico Chick-fil-A Locations", "text": "\"ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico Chick-fil-A Locations Why Customers Love Chick-fil-A!Our Food Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A, Inc. is the nation's second-largest quick-service chicken restaurant chain (based on sales).

Some exceptions - * If the child's birthday would make them very young compared to their peers in the class, some parents hold their child back a year * Some teens don't start college right after graduating high school, so they may wait a year or two or more to start college. A lot of \"\"older\"\" people are going back to get their college degree also. * A smaller number of people start college younger that 18 because they are super smart and fly through high school. Also, I assume you mean a campus-based college program, not an online college degree. If you mean online, the age of the average freshman would be considerably older than 18 or 19. Online degrees are catching on with younger people, but online has great appeal to adults who can't or don't to want to make it to the classroom because of work and/or family. I know this because I do a lot of work in the higher ed market.26.7k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private." }, { "docid": "D1664985#0", "title": "http://www.stateuniversity.com/universities/VA/Old_Dominion_University.html\nOld Dominion University", "text": "Academics Founded in 1930, Old Dominion University is a public university located on a 188-acre campus in urban Norfolk, Va.

Daniel School building. The college was founded as an extension of the College of William & Mary and offered extension courses that had already been available in the area for some time. In 1964 the college was relocated to its current location, a 75-acre (300,000 m 2) tract of land purchased and donated by the city. In this same year, the college's first permanent building was dedicated as Christopher Newport Hall. In 1971, CNC became a four-year college; [4] however, it remained an extension of William & Mary until 1977 when it attained its independence.

She always could drop her gloves with the best of them. You learn how to do that in hockey if you want respect. And you definitely learn it if you're the only girl among a crowd of boys who want to challenge every move you make, simply because a blond ponytail peeks out from beneath your helmet. So Kelli Stack discovered her inner feistiness early, and hasn't lost one ounce of it. The Brooklyn Heights native learned how to stand up for herself on the ice, first, when she was consistently the only girl on skates in arenas filled with little boys who wanted to show her she didn't belong -- until they learned she did. Then she learned how to fight to be noticed off the ice when she had to prove that a remarkable and creative hockey player could, in fact, come from Ohio, and even from a nontraditional hockey city like Cleveland. And the 20-year-old showed she could fight back from her lowest, when rumors of an inappropriate romantic relationship with her Boston College coach in 2007 led to the coach's resignation and her own thoughts of quitting the sport. And especially now, after she made the cut for the U. S. national team that won the 2008 world championship and tries to keep that roster spot for the 2010 Olympics, she's fighting to prove that's where she belongs.

And since opening in January the additions have been providing an expanded, modern home for student-athlete training, learning, and leadership. “Opening Athletes Village is a key moment in our department’s effort to upgrade the facilities our student-athletes use to study and train each day,” said Athletic Director Mark Coyle when the new space was unveiled. The focal point of the addition is the Land O’Lakes Center for Excellence. This multipurpose space houses new two-story homes for both the men’s and women’s basketball teams. It’s also home to the John & Nancy Lindahl Academic Center, which is close to triple the size of the old academic advising space and a great tool for the top public school in the nation in student-athlete academic performance for four years running. The building also features the top-floor Leadership Center, as well as a ground-floor nutrition center (complete with test kitchen) to serve athletes from all sports, along with other students for breakfast and lunch. Across a new courtyard is the David and Janis Larson Football Performance Center, with a 16,000-square-foot weight room, state-of-the-art training facilities, and an 85-foot-tall indoor practice building. Perhaps just as important, the 338,000 square feet of new space will enable existing facilities to be renovated and converted into significant upgrades for programs, including volleyball, wrestling, softball, baseball, and soccer." }, { "docid": "D1655609#0", "title": "https://manyessays.com/essay/service-learning-2\nService learning", "text": "Service learning Home » Essay » Service Learning 2Essays, Papers: in current category Title: Service learning Essay Details Subject: Religion Author: Date: August 6, 2007Level: Grade: Length: 1 / 281No of views: 0Essay rating: good 0 , average 0 , bad 0 (total score: 0)Essay text:******* ******* Year Twelve The first service learning project I completed was in 2006 which was a participation in tutoring a year six student in the Aquinas College junior school.

We compared the number of athletes participating in varsity sports at US high schools during the 2016-17 school year to the number of college student athletes. Overall a little over 7% of high school athletes (about 1 in 14) went on to play a varsity sport in college and less than 2% of high school athletes (1 in 54) went on to play at NCAA Division I schools.

Statistics for both High School and College athletes above report participation on school sponsored varsity, JV and freshman teams, and do not reflect club, travel and/or intramural sports teams. We did not compute odds for the following sports as the resulting percentages would not be meaningful due to an insufficient number of high school participants to make a valid comparison of high school to college athletes and/or a disproportionately high percentage of club and/or travel team participants that do not appear in the high school data for that particular sport.

So for sports such as high school football that have a large number of high school participants and very few travel teams, these percentages are a very good indication of a high school athlete's chances of playing at the college level.

Creative Commons Share Tweet Share E-mail Since 1970, U. S. life expectancy has gradually increased by 11%. In 2010, the average American lived to be about 78.7 years of age in comparison to the average lifespan of 70.8 in 1970, according to a recent CDC/National Center for Health Statistics report. The difference in life expectancy between white and black populations has also narrowed to a 3.8 year gap in 2010, compared to 7.6 years in 1970. In 1900, the gap was 14 years — the average black male lived to be about 32.5 years old, and white males averaged 46.3 years old. Black females' lifespans remained at about 33.5, and white females were expected to live for about 48.3 years. Though the life expectancy of both the white population and black population increased by 10 percent and 17 percent, respectively, a gap in life expectancy of 3.8 years still remains between the two populations. According to the report, the disparities between the two populations can be \"\"examined to determine which leading causes of death contributes most to the differences. \"\" The remaining 3.8-year gap between the white and black population can be explained by death rate disparities — the black population overall is more likely to be affected by heart disease, cancer, homicide, as well as diabetes. \"\" Higher heart disease mortality for the black population accounted for a loss of 1.007 years in life expectancy,\"\" the report states." } ]

Thus it is imperative that a suicidal person not have access to a firearm. Hanging or suffocation is used in about one out of five suicides, which is why you can never leave an acutely suicidal person alone for a second. People who have died by hanging have used virtually every conceivable thing to hang themselves with, including shoe laces, electric cords, belts, bedsheets,etc. Again, never leave an acutely suicidal person alone. Poisoning accouts for slightly less than one out of five suicides. The three most common methods of suicide – firearms, hanging, and poisoning – account for 92.3% of all suicides. U. S.

An autopsy confirmed that Merrill, age 72, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. 1Merrill—lauded at his memorial service as a vibrant man with a passion for life—was one of 31,000 people a year in the United States who die by suicide. 2 He was also one of a group associated with a substantially higher risk of suicide than any other—older white males. While suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in the United States, with 11 suicide deaths per 100,000 Americans, white men over the age of 65 commit suicide at almost triple that overall rate. 3 These men are also eight times more likely to kill themselves than are women of the same age group, and have almost twice the rate of all other groups of male contemporaries. 4Analysts are divided over how to explain the elevated risk of suicide for older white men. Some researchers point to a lack of resilience or coping ability. Others point to men’s choice of more lethal means of suicide. More generally, systemic obstacles related to the primary care system (as well as cultural bias that assumes depression is a natural feature of aging) also inhibit detection of older people at risk of suicide." }, { "docid": "D11687#0", "title": "http://www.city-data.com/county/Benton_County-MS.html\nBenton County, Mississippi (MS)", "text": "\"Benton County, Mississippi (MS)Follow city-data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur County population in 2016: 8,376 (all rural); it was 8,026 in 2000County owner-occupied with a mortgage or a loan houses and condos in 2010: 1,405 County owner-occupied free and clear houses and condos in 2010: 1,293 County owner-occupied houses and condos in 2000: 2,529 Renter-occupied apartments: 706 (it was 470 in 2000)% of renters here: 16%State: 30%Land area: 407 sq. mi.

[ Note: In e Wo RLD updates prior to June 2008, the numbers of deaths were generally based on the numbers of decedents for which each condition was coded as a cause of death on the record axis. Changing to the entity axis multiple cause-of-death permits more complete ascertainment of the diseases of interest.] See Detail Record Layout at http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/about/major/dvs/mcd/1998mcd.htm for a discussion of the appropriate uses, advantages, and disadvantages of the multiple cause-of-death code fields (entity axis and record axis). Percentages of deaths for the pneumoconioses, malignant mesothelioma, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis that NCHS coded as the underlying cause of death are listed by year. Since 1999, deaths with underlying cause-of-death International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 code J65 (pneumoconiosis associated with tuberculosis) are included in the underlying cause-of-death tabulations of each specified type of pneumoconiosis (except byssinosis), and for each type of tuberculosis. Deaths with J65 coded as a cause of death on the entity axis are included in the entity axis multiple cause-of-death tabulations for code J64 (unspecified pneumoconiosis) and codes A15, A16, A19, or B90.9 (collectively defined as respiratory tuberculosis) in updates later than August, 2008. Similarly, deaths with underlying cause-of-death code J92.0 (pleural plaque with presence of asbestos) are included in asbestosis underlying cause-of-death tabulations. Deaths with malignant mesothelioma of the pericardium (ICD-10 code C45.2) are grouped into malignant mesothelioma of other sites (ICD-10 code C45.7). The sum of individual pneumoconiosis (i.e., asbestosis, coal workers' pneumoconiosis, silicosis, byssinosis, and unspecified/other pneumoconiosis) death totals may be greater than the total number of deaths for all pneumoconioses because some decedents have more than one type of pneumoconiosis listed on their death certificate." }, { "docid": "D2159720#0", "title": "http://www.city-data.com/county/Marion_County-AR.html\nMarion County, Arkansas (AR)", "text": "\"Marion County, Arkansas (AR)Follow city-data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur County population in 2016: 16,513 (all rural); it was 16,140 in 2000County owner-occupied with a mortgage or a loan houses and condos in 2010: 3,243 County owner-occupied free and clear houses and condos in 2010: 2,683 County owner-occupied houses and condos in 2000: 5,423 Renter-occupied apartments: 1,485 (it was 1,353 in 2000)% of renters here: 20%State: 33%Land area: 598 sq. mi.

Public Health England scientists found that a slowdown in the number of deaths from cardiovascular disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and some cancers in this period meant that people in England could expect to live 5.4 years longer. This happened despite an increase in the number of deaths from liver disease. Average life expectancy across the UK rose from 75.7 years in 1990 to 81. South East England had the best life expectancy in the whole UK at 82.4 years, while Scotland had the worst at 79.1 years. The figures, published in The Lancet, use data from The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2013 (GBD 2013). PHE Professor John Newton and colleagues analysed patterns of ill health and death in England, calculated the links of preventable risk factors, and ranked England compared to 14 European Union countries along with Australia, Canada, Norway and the USA. The gains in life expectancy were greater for men than women. Poor diet, perhaps unsurprisingly, is still a leading cause of premature death in England. Credit: PAMen in England could expect an extra 6.4 years of life expectancy to reach 79.5 years of age, putting them level with Finns but behind the expected life span of a man from Luxembourg." } ]

Every few months the same comment is made by experts \"\" BMI is flawed\"\". The news hits the headlines, everybody agrees, and then all goes quiet for a while. You are of normal weight if your BMI is between 18.5 and 25, overweight if it is between 25 and 30. Anybody with a BMI of 30 or more is obese. Mitchell Lazar, MD, Ph D, Professor of Medicine and Genetics and Director of the Institute of Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism, and Rexford Ahima, MD, Ph D, Professor of Medicine and Director of the Obesity Unit in the Institute for Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, discuss the challenges health professionals face when studying the mortality risks and health of obese people in the journal Science 1. We all know that obesity increases the risk of developing heart diseases, type 2 diabetes, cancer, sleep apnea and other diseases and conditions. However, according to recent studies, obesity may also protect against death from all causes, as well as death due to stroke, heart failure and diabetes. In the Science article - \"\"The Health Risk of Obesity - Better Metrics Imperative\"\" 2 - the authors refer to the pros-and-cons of obesity as the \"\"obesity-mortality paradox\"\".

Human life expectancy at birth, measured by region, between 1950 and 2050Life expectancy is a statistical measure of the average time an organism is expected to live, based on the year of its birth, its current age and other demographic factors including gender. The most commonly used measure of life expectancy is at birth (LEB), which can be defined in two ways. Cohort LEB is the mean length of life of an actual birth cohort (all individuals born a given year) and can be computed only for cohorts born many decades ago, so that all their members have died. Period LEB is the mean length of life of a hypothetical cohort assumed to be exposed, from birth through death, to the mortality rates observed at a given year. [ 1]National LEB figures reported by statistical national agencies and international organizations are indeed estimates of period LEB. In the Bronze Age and the Iron Age, LEB was 26 years; the 2010 world LEB was 67.2 years. For recent years, in Swaziland LEB is about 49, and in Japan, it is about 83.

A baby born this year will, on average, live for more than 90 years and nine months. As a result, more than 11 million people alive today – 17.6 per cent of the population – can expect to live to more than 100 years old. This is 200,000 more than estimates last year. Men, who have traditionally lagged behind in life expectancy, last year saw their longevity increase faster than women – by 46 days on average. It caps two decades in which longevity rose by as much as it had in the previous 70 years. The figures published by the Department for Work and Pensions predict that one in four people aged under 16 will now live to at least 100. Just 30 years ago, more than a quarter of newborn boys were expected to die before their 65th birthday.

Alcohol can have an impact on every body system. How much alcohol a person drinks, genetic factors, gender, body mass, and general state of health all influence how a person's health responds to chronic heavy drinking. However, studies consistently show that, overall, heavy alcohol consumption is detrimental to health and a leading preventable cause of death. When the body takes in more alcohol than it can metabolize, the excess builds up in the bloodstream. The heart circulates the blood alcohol throughout the body, leading to changes in chemistry and normal body functions. Even a single binge-drinking episode can result in significant bodily impairment, damage, or death. Over time, excessive alcohol use can lead to the development of many chronic diseases and other serious health problems. Alcohol has been found to contribute to at least 60 different health conditions.

Participants 18 863 men examined at entry in 1967-70 and followed for 38 years, of whom 13 501 died and 4811 were re-examined in 1997. Main outcome measures Life expectancy estimated in relation to fifths and dichotomous categories of risk factors (smoking, “low” or “high” blood pressure (≥140 mm Hg), and “low” or “high” cholesterol (≥5 mmol/l)), and a risk score from these risk factors. Results At entry, 42% of the men were current smokers, 39% had high blood pressure, and 51% had high cholesterol. At the re-examination, about two thirds of the previously “current” smokers had quit smoking shortly after entry and the mean differences in levels of those with high and low levels of blood pressure and cholesterol were attenuated by two thirds. Compared with men without any baseline risk factors, the presence of all three risk factors at entry was associated with a 10 year shorter life expectancy from age 50 (23.7 v 33.3 years). Compared with men in the lowest 5% of a risk score based on smoking, diabetes, employment grade, and continuous levels of blood pressure, cholesterol concentration, and body mass index (BMI), men in the highest 5% had a 15 year shorter life expectancy from age 50 (20.2 v 35.4 years).

In 2012 there were falls in average life expectancy for females in their 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, new figures show. A drop in all such age groups had not been seen since 1995. It means the average woman aged 75 can expect to live 13.1 years; five weeks less than in 2011. For a woman aged 85, average life expectancy is now 6.8 years - a fall of two and a half months, in two years. Experts said the trend could be the result of changes in the lifestyles of the “baby boomer” generation, with older women more likely to drink regularly, and to have smoked, than previous generations. Charities also raised concern that older people are having their lives cut short by reductions in social care spending and poor standards in care homes. Meanwhile, increases among men in their 60s and 70s stalled, the statistics show, while life expectancy reduced among older men. The deteriorating picture disclosed in a report by health officials follows three decades which have seen annual average life expectancy increases of 1.2 per cent for men and 0.7 per cent for women. Prof John Ashton, president of the UK Faculty of Public Health, said the fall in women’s life expectancy might reflect changes in the lifestyles of the baby boomer generation, which were taking their toll decades later." }, { "docid": "D885002#0", "title": "http://www.city-data.com/county/Asotin_County-WA.html\nAsotin County, Washington (WA)", "text": "\"Asotin County, Washington (WA)Follow city-data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur County population in 2016: 22,784 (93% urban, 7% rural); it was 20,551 in 2000County owner-occupied with a mortgage or a loan houses and condos in 2010: 3,786 County owner-occupied free and clear houses and condos in 2010: 2,404 County owner-occupied houses and condos in 2000: 5,612 Renter-occupied apartments: 3,046 (it was 2,752 in 2000)% of renters here: 33%State: 36%Land area: 635 sq. mi.

In relatively prosperous Western Europe, the average male lifespan is between three (UK) and six years (Austria, Spain, Greece) shorter than women’s. The gap gets even wider in Eastern Europe, where World Health Organisation figures show that Romanian and Polish men die seven to eight years before their female counterparts, while in Belarus, Russia and Lithuania, that figure stretches to 12 years (men go at 63, women at 75). Even in countries with the highest male longevity rates (Canada, Cyprus, Israel and Japan, where men can expect to live to 80), women still come out on top, living to an average of 82 (84 in Japan) The question is: why? And the answer is that no one has the definitive answer. “ It’s just the way things are,” says a spokesman for the UK Department of Health. There are, of course, plenty of theories. Joblessness, is one hypothesis.

Life expectancy is a human development indicator and is a common measure of a country's level of development. It can be defined as ‘the average age to which a person can be expected to live' and is usually given for a country or region. Quite simply a short life expectancy is linked to the country being poorer and therefore having fewer health facilities, poorer diets, limited access to education (to teach about the need for a healthy diet, clean water etc), and generally a lower standard of living. Life expectancy can also fall as a result of factors such as famine, war and disease." }, { "docid": "D651627#0", "title": "http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/pensions/article-3333442/Osborne-leaves-future-pension-tax-relief-hanging-Autumn-Statement.html\nOsborne sets flat rate state pension at £155.65 but leaves overhaul of tax relief for savers hanging until next Budget", "text": "Osborne sets flat rate state pension at £155.65 but leaves overhaul of tax relief for savers hanging until next Budget Basic rate pension raised by £3.35 to £119.30 per week from April Pension tax relief changes still awaited after consultation Backlash against new flat rate pension as many will not get the full amount By Tanya Jefferies for Thisismoney.co.uk Published: 09:18 EDT, 25 November 2015 | Updated: 11:35 EDT, 25 November 201529shares214View comments The Chancellor has confirmed the new flat rate state pension will be £155.65 a week and the basic state pension will rise by £3.35 to £119.30 a week from April . But George Osborne left the future of pension taxation hanging in the balance for those still saving for retirement, in his Autumn Statement today. While the Chancellor revealed what the new flat rate will be at its April 2016 launch, people who contracted out of the top-up S2P and Serps schemes over the years will get less than this. Scroll down for video+4Present tax rules: Your pension is only taxed when you start making withdrawals in old age The changes have prompted widespread anger and confusion among savers who expected to get the full amount, and Pensions Minister Ros Altmann has already admitted that the new state pension was ‘mis-sold’ to the public. Osborne also pledged to maintain the state pension 'triple lock' - the promise that payouts will always increase by whatever is the the highest of inflation, average earnings or 2.5 per cent - throughout the Government's current term in office. Meanwhile, a big shake-up of pension tax relief is still coming down the line after Osborne delayed his widely anticipated overhaul until next spring's Budget.

Life expectancy at birth among the US population increased by 0.1 years in 2011-12, from 78.7 years to 78.8 years, with women continuing to have a longer life expectancy than men. Life expectancy at birth among the US population - defined as \"\"the average number of years that a group of infants would live if the group was to experience throughout life the age-specific death rates present in the year of birth\"\" - increased from 78.7 years in 2011 to 78.8 years in 2012. This is the longest life expectancy ever recorded. The report authors, from the National Center for Health Statistics, Division of Vital Statistics at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), say this increase can be attributed to a reduction in many major causes of death, such as cancer, heart disease and stroke . To reach their findings, the authors compared final mortality data on deaths and death rates from 2012 with that of 2011. As well as overall life expectancy estimates, the authors investigated age-adjusted death rates by ethnicity and sex, the 10 leading causes of death and the 10 leading causes of infant death. Women's life expectancy continues to be higher than men's Although life expectancy has increased over the total US population, women are still expected to live longer than men. The report reveals that in 2012, the life expectancy for females stood at 81.2 years, while the life expectancy for men was 76.4 years. This difference of 4.8 years is the same as reported in 2011." }, { "docid": "D1963604#0", "title": "https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jan/31/russian-men-losing-years-to-vodka\nRussian men losing years to vodka", "text": "\"Russia Russian men losing years to vodka Spirit linked to 35% of cases where a man dies before age 55, with study citing national sport of spectacular drunkenness Associated Press in London Fri 31 Jan 2014 11.55 EST02.22 EST3,717Russian men binging on vodka is strongly linked with an early death, researchers have found.

For the Dean Koontz novel, see Life Expectancy (novel). Human life expectancy at birth, measured by region, between 1950 and 2050Life expectancy is a statistical measure of the average time an organism is expected to live, based on the year of its birth, its current age and other demographic factors including gender. The most commonly used measure of life expectancy is at birth (LEB), which can be defined in two ways. Cohort LEB is the mean length of life of an actual birth cohort (all individuals born a given year) and can be computed only for cohorts born many decades ago, so that all their members have died. Period LEB is the mean length of life of a hypothetical cohort assumed to be exposed, from birth through death, to the mortality rates observed at a given year. [ 1]National LEB figures reported by statistical national agencies and international organizations are indeed estimates of period LEB. In the Bronze Age and the Iron Age, LEB was 26 years; the 2010 world LEB was 67.2 years. For recent years, in Swaziland LEB is about 49, and in Japan, it is about 83. The combination of high infant mortality and deaths in young adulthood from accidents, epidemics, plagues, wars, and childbirth, particularly before modern medicine was widely available, significantly lowers LEB." }, { "docid": "D758351#0", "title": "http://sphweb.bumc.bu.edu/otlt/MPH-Modules/EP/EP713_StandardizedRates/EP713_StandardizedRates_print.html\nIntroduction", "text": "\"Standardized Rates of Disease Introduction When comparing two or more populations with respect to a health outcome, it is temptiing to compare crude rates of disease, i.e., the number of disease events divided by the size of the population. The \"\"crude rate\"\" is the measure that was introduced in the module on Measures of Disease Frequency. However, comparisons of crude rates can be misleading because of confounding if the populations being compared have different distributions of other determinants of disease, such as age which has an important effect on many heatlh outcomes, such as mortality, heart disease, cancer, infectious diseases, and injury. As a result, differences in age can distort other comparisons between populations, and this distortion is called confounding. This module will focus on a technique called standardization that allows one to compute summary rates of health outcomes that are adjusted to take into account differences in confounding factors like age in order to provide a less distorted comparison. The two closely related techniques are commonly used to compute \"\"age-adjusted\"\" summary rates that facilitate compartisons among population. Direct standardization applies a standard age distribution to the populations being compared in order to compute summary rates indicating how overall rates would have compared if the populations had had the same age distibution. This method is used when age-specific rates of disease are known for the populations being compared. In contrast, so-called indirect standardization applies a standard set of age-specific rates of disease to the populations being compared in order to compute the number of cases of disease that would be expected in a given population, based on its size and age-distribution.

The highest number of births ever recorded in any March year was 65,800, in 1962. At that time, New Zealand's population was just 2.5 million, compared with 4.4 million in 2011. Nearly 600,000 (597,320) births were registered in the 10 years to March 2011, with the numbers fluctuating from a low of 54,660 in 2003, to 64,160 in 2009. Annual fluctuations in births, in part, reflect changes in the size and age of the population, the age at which women have children, and the number of children they have. In turn, the number of births influences the future size and age of the population. Fertility rates and mother's age Age-specific fertility rates measure the number of live births 1,000 women in a particular age-group have in a given period (usually a year). In the March 2011 year, women aged 30–34 years had the highest fertility rate (125 births per 1,000 women aged 30–34 years), followed by those aged 25–29 years (108 per 1,000) and 20–24 years (76 per 1,000). Compared with the high fertility seen in the early 1960s, women in all age groups now have fewer babies. In 1962, women aged 20–24 years had the highest fertility rate (265 per 1,000), followed by those aged 25–29 years (259 per 1,000), and 30–34 years (152 per 1,000).

This article presents statistics on the major causes of death for people aged 65 or over in the European Union (EU): in 2015, around four fifths (83.0 %) of all deaths in the EU-28 — some 4.3 million — occurred among people aged 65 or over (hereafter referred to as the elderly population). The focus of the article is causes of death among the elderly population. It presents information for seven major causes of death (defined by the international classification of diseases (ICD) ): two main disease groups linked to the circulatory system, namely ischaemic heart diseases (also known as coronary heart disease, including heart attacks) and cerebrovascular diseases (such as strokes); respiratory diseases (which include chronic lower respiratory diseases or asthma as well as infectious diseases such as influenza or pneumonia); and four groups of malignant neoplasms, namely lung cancer (including cancers of the trachea and bronchus), colorectal cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer.

Bell and Michael L. Miller Life Tables for the United States Social Security Area 1900-2100I. Introduction Each year, estimates of future income and expenditures of the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program are presented to the Congress in the Annual Report of the Board of Trustees. These estimates illustrate possible scenarios of the future financial position of the OASDI program, under present law, and thus are valuable in the policy making process for the program. To produce these financial estimates, projections of the population in the Social Security coverage area are needed. One of the essential components of population projections is a projection of mortality, which is the subject of this study. For the 2005 Trustees Report, three separate projections—intermediate, low cost, high cost—were prepared. These projections are based on three different sets of assumptions about future death rates. The intermediate projections reflect the Trustees' best estimate of future experience. All mortality projections presented in this study are from the intermediate projections of the 2005 Annual Report of the OASDI Board of Trustees. These projections were also used in estimating the future financial status of the Hospital Insurance (HI) and Supplementary Medical Insurance (SMI) programs as described in the 2005 Annual Report of the Medicare Board of Trustees." }, { "docid": "D3379619#0", "title": "http://www.nhs.uk/news/2011/12December/Pages/homeless-people-die-early.aspx\nHomeless die 30 years younger than average", "text": "Homeless die 30 years younger than average Wednesday December 21 2011Page contents What did the research look at?

Rainier, Crystal Mountain, the King County Fairgrounds and much more. Enumclaw /ˈiːnəmklɔː/ (US dict: ē′·nəm·klŏ) is a city in King County, Washington, United States. The population was 10,669 at the 2010 census. The Enumclaw Plateau, on which the city resides, was formed by a volcanic mudflow (lahar) from Mount Rainier approximately 5,700 years ago. The name Enumclaw is derived from a Salish Native American term that translates as “place of evil spirits”, apparently referring to Enumclaw Mountain, located about 6 miles (9.7 km) to the north, and referring either to some evil incident that occurred there or to the frequent powerful windstorms that affect the region. Native American mythology tells the story of two Pacific Northwest Native American brothers – Enumclaw and Kapoonis – whose father turned them into thunder and lightning respectively. The City of Enumclaw says the name means “thundering noise”. Founders Mary and Frank Stevenson arrived in the plateau area in 1879, homesteading the land in a little-known and remote area. In 1885, six years after the Stevenson arrived, the Northern Pacific Railroad routed a line through the Stevenson’s land, bringing with it, logging, a booming economy, and a place in Washington State History. The Stevensons took advantage of the railroad shift and filed a plat with King County to begin developing the town." }, { "docid": "D2152369#0", "title": "http://www.choicesmagazine.org/2005-2/grabbag/2005-2-12.htm\nFarmers and Social Security Reform", "text": "\"Farmers and Social Security Reformby James L. Novak, Paul Gentle, Patricia Duffy, and Alison Keefe For several years, reports from the Trustees of the Social Security system have warned us that at the current rate of benefits and given the current age structure of our population, the Social Security system will go broke sometime between 2038 and 2042. To address Social Security Trustees' concerns, President Bush, in his postelection speech, reported that one of the legacies of his administration would be to reform the Social Security system. Farm operators tend to be older, on average, than people in other populations, meaning that changes in Social Security would more likely be of near-term concern to them. Although there is still considerable debate on whether reform is necessary or desirable, this article reports on what a changed Social Security system might look like, and how changes in the system might affect farmers' need for additional savings. Social Security Today Trustees of the Social Security system are appointed to oversee the four separate funds that make up the current Social Security Trust Fund Account. These funds are Social Security (Old Age and Survivors Insurance, OASI), Disability Insurance (DI), Medicare's Hospital Insurance (HI), and Supplementary Medical Insurance (SMI). OASI is what most people consider when they talk about Social Security retirement income. Social Security is a pay-as-you-go system (sometimes called \"\"pay-go\"\"). It was designed so that current workers pay for the benefits of current retirees out of taxes. Payroll and self-employment taxes, premiums, and other income are deposited to trust fund accounts." }, { "docid": "D183843#0", "title": "http://cornandsoybeandigest.com/are-1000-acres-part-time-work\nAre 1,000 Acres Part-Time Work?", "text": "Corn+Soybean Digestbrought to you by Are 1,000 Acres Part-Time Work?

That farm, which unfortunately many policymakers and the media see as the model full-time family farm, is about 15 years out of date. It's a picture that doesn't represent reality. I thought Fred Yoder, National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) president, hit it on the head in a September ‘02 Soybean Digest article titled, “Small Farmer, Big Stick.” In that article, Yoder says:“One of the most difficult factors for many 1,100-acre or less farmers to accept is that, unless they have livestock, they're probably underemployed. Thirty years ago, 1,000 acres was enough to support Dad, me and three hired men. “But with new technology, equipment and products like Roundup Ready soybeans, I can farm 1,100 acres, run an independent seed dealership and still have time to be active in commodity groups like NCGA.“Farmers have to understand that there's not much chance to make a living on a 1,000-acre farm without supplemental income or non-commodity crops. You can count on one hand the number of farms in our area that don't have an outside job or enterprise to go along with their farms. ”I think it's important to recognize that there are two forces addressed in his statement." }, { "docid": "D339448#0", "title": "http://www.neighborhoodlink.com/zip/68059\n68059 Zip Code Profile", "text": "Welcome to SPRINGFIELD, NE 6805968059 is a sparsely populated, suburban zip code in Springfield, Nebraska.

We hope this will be informative to those who are seeking a basic understanding of crop insurance, while also serving as a resource for those better acquainted with the topic. Federal Crop Insurance is a complex program that offers multiple risk-management opportunities for the ag producer. The program includes multiple plans of coverage for over 100 commodities. The government has entered into a partnership with private crop insurance providers, like Pro Ag ®, to offer crop insurance on an equal-opportunity basis to agricultural producers nationwide. This is a summary only and is meant as a supplement to the Crop Insurance Handbook, Policies and Provisions, RMA bulletins, and other documents as distributed by RMA and Pro Ag, not a replacement. HISTORY OF THE CROP INSURANCE PROGRAM Congress first authorized federal crop insurance in the 1930s along with other initiatives to help agriculture recover from the combined effects of the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) was created in 1938 to carry out the program. Initially, the program was started as an experiment, and crop insurance activities were mostly limited to major crops in the main producing areas." }, { "docid": "D1996934#0", "title": "http://www.neighborhoodlink.com/zip/48143\n48143 Zip Code Profile", "text": "Welcome to LAKELAND, MI 4814348143 is a suburban zip code in Lakeland, Michigan.

Photo: Edward Leger The farm bill passed the U. S. Senate Friday afternoon with a solid vote of 79-14. The $286 billion bill differs from the House version, passed in July, and it could face a veto from the White House. The Senate bill provides a $4.4 billion increase in funds to aid conservation, but it contains few real changes in crop subsidy practices. Both reform groups and the Bush administration criticized the bill. \"\" This legislation is fundamentally flawed,'' Acting Agriculture Secretary Chuck Conner said in a statement, citing tax provisions in the bill that raise revenues and lack subsidy limits. \"\" Unless the House and Senate can come together and craft a measure that contains real reform, we are no closer to a good farm bill than we were before today's passage.''

The status of injuries and illnesses on farms is one of the first items of information that should be determined. Status of injury or illness includes information about the victim, the agent that caused the injury or illness, the task being performed when the illness or injury occurred, and other information that will describe the event. Injuries Injuries in farming range from cuts and scrapes to total disabilities and fatalities. Most traumatic injuries occur during interactions with machinery, especially tractors (Bean, 1991). Injuries also result from poor building design, electric power, livestock handling, and weather conditions. The activities that victims were most often performing when injured are machinery maintenance, fieldwork, and caring for animals (Hoskin and others, 1988b and 1988c; Pollock, 1990; and Yoder and others 1989)." }, { "docid": "D191301#0", "title": "http://www.westernfarmpress.com/how-much-ag-water-worth\nHow much is ag water worth?", "text": "How much is ag water worth? Harry Cline | Nov 03, 2007There was a classified ad in the Fresno Bee recently under the heading “land for sale. ”The seller was offering 40 acres in the 600,000-acre Westlands Water District on the West Side of the San Joaquin Valley. Westlands is the largest irrigation district in the nation; 40 acres is a postage stamp block in Westlands. Nevertheless, the ad soon disappeared, the land presumably snatched up by an eager buyer because the vast irrigation district and many more just like it in California are facing the biggest water crisis ever in the wake of a federal court ruling to protect Delta smelt. It could conceivably cut off the flow of water to Central and Southern California. The ruling could impact the water supplies for 25 million people and three million acres of farmland. Water has never been a more coveted commodity in California agriculture, as growers wait, hoping for a wet winter to offset the judicially-imposed drought. Even if it is a normal winter; it is possible that water will not flow south from the Delta to save schools of tiny minnows that have a lifespan of less than two years.

As the head of economic statistics work in that Office he oversighted the establishment there of the Agriculture National Project Centre, which is responsible for the collection, compilation and dissemination of agriculture statistics for Australia. INTRODUCTIONLike most industries, Australian agriculture has experienced unforeseen gains in productivity and output, through the application of new technology and science over the last 100 years. At the turn of the century, much of the energy used to operate farms came from manual labour, assisted where possible with horse, bullock and steam power. Large scale farming and grazing relied upon the availability of large numbers of unskilled workers. Today, farms which employed hundreds of labourers at the turn of the century are operated by a few people with the help of sophisticated machinery and technology. Improvements in disease and weed control, through the use of advanced chemicals, have revolutionised the ways in which farmers prepare their ground and control diseases in crops and livestock. However, adoption of technology, such as extensive use of fertilisers and irrigation, tree clearing and chemical spraying, brings its own challenges to agriculture. Extensive land degradation through increased soil salinity (such as in the Western Australia grain belt and the Murray - Darling Basin), increased soil acidity, chemical residues in agricultural products, and consumer backlash to genetically modified products, are some of these challenges. The start of our century At the end of the last century Australia was emerging from the impact of two major depressions (in the 1880s and 1890s), and was in the grip of a severe drought." }, { "docid": "D615350#0", "title": "http://www.city-data.com/city/Farmers-Branch-Texas.html\nFarmers Branch, Texas", "text": "Follow city-data.com founder on our Forum or@Lech Mazur Farmers Branch, Texasadd your Submit your own pictures of this city and show them to the World See promotion details and to upload your Farmers Branch, Texas photos OSM Map General Map Google Map MSN Map54°F13 miles Wind: 14 mph Pressure: 30.10 in Humidity: 47%Current weather forecast for Farmers Branch, TXPopulation in 2014: 32,560 (100% urban, 0% rural).

Canada and the world Livestock Land management practices Horticulture Farm operators Canada and the world The 2006 Census of Agriculture is the most recent measure of Canada's overall agricultural performance and its wealth of data provides a valuable snapshot of the sector. But how does Canada perform in a global framework? Comparing Canada to seven other countries that have also taken an agricultural census in the last 10 years provides a valuable perspective for viewing the latest census data. Canada — despite its size — has by far the smallest proportion of total land that is agricultural at only 7.3% (Table 1), mainly because of soil quality and the nature of the Canadian climate and terrain.

The ONS singled out the effects of recent recession among possible explanations for women putting off childbirth but also suggested that a trend towards more “unstable relationships” could be driving the age upwards. It suggests that the popularity of “serial monogamy” means that young people are taking longer to settle down and decide to start a family. The Royal College of Midwives said the figures were a stark illustration of the pressures the profession is facing. Overall the ONS said the average age of a mother giving birth in England and Wales in 2012 was 29.8 years, the highest on record and a full year older than the typical occupant of a maternity ward a decade earlier.

S.-born children (under 18) in the United States by country of birth, state, and legal status. One of the most important findings is that immigration has dramatically increased the size of the nation’s low-income population; however, there is great variation among immigrants by sending country and region. Moreover, many immigrants make significant progress the longer they live in the country. But even with this progress, immigrants who have been in the United States for 20 years are much more likely to live in poverty, lack health insurance, and access the welfare system than are native-born Americans. The large share of immigrants arriving as adults with relatively little education partly explains this phenomenon. Overall Numbers The number of immigrants (legal and illegal) in the country hit a new record of 40 million in 2010, a 28 percent increase over the total in 2000. Of top sending countries, the largest percentage increase in the last decade was for those from Honduras (85 percent), India (74 percent), Guatemala (73 percent), Peru (54 percent), El Salvador (49 percent), Ecuador (48 percent), and China (43 percent). Labor Force In March of 2011, the share of working-age (18 to 65) immigrants holding a job was the same as natives — 68 percent. Immigrant men have higher rates of work than native-born men, while immigrant women have lower rates. While immigrants tend to be concentrated in certain jobs, natives comprise the majority of workers in virtually every occupational category." }, { "docid": "D567945#0", "title": "http://www.baby2see.com/pregnancylength.html\nWeeks?

Next time the would-be grandparents in your family start wondering about your plans, it will be helpful to have some ammo about what scientists are saying about what the “best age” is to have a baby. Their answer depends, in part, on what you mean by “best. ”The late teens or early twenties are “best” biologically, according to John Mirowsky, a sociologist at the University of Texas at Austin. That’s when “oocytes are fresh and the body’s reproductive and other systems are at a youthful peak,” he wrote. Women in their twenties are least likely to have developed chronic health problems that would put them or their babies at risk, and they have the lowest rates of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, and infertility. But early pregnancy doesn’t work well in today’s society, which is organized around smaller families and more full-time employment for women. If pregnancy occurs too early, social difficulties often follow. At age 20 or younger, Mirowsky wrote, pregnancy is “more likely to happen out of wedlock, more likely to interfere with educational attainment, and more likely to crystallize a disadvantaged status." }, { "docid": "D2065970#0", "title": "http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-12-16/increase-in-australian-birth-rate-for-first-time-in-five-years/5969900\nNumber of babies born in Australia increases for first time in five years: birth rate report", "text": "\"Print Email Facebook Twitter More Number of babies born in Australia increases for first time in five years: birth rate report Updated 15 Dec 2014, 7:15pm Mon 15 Dec 2014, 7:15pm Map: Canberra 2600There has been an increase in the number of babies born in Australia for the first time in five years.

It stayed relatively stable around 25 until 2008, when it started climbing again to its current high: Business Insider / data from CDCThe average age of first-time mothers is increasing because more women are waiting until their 30s and 40s to start having kids and fewer women are having their first kids in their teens and 20s, the CDC report says. In 1970, only 1.7 out of 1,000 women were having their first child between the ages of 35-39 years. By 2006, that rate had increased six-fold to 10.9 women out of 1,000. The rate took a little dip from 2006 to 2010 (corresponding to the dip in average age of first-time mothers), then made up the ground it lost: In 2012, 11.0 out of 1,000 women were having their first child between the ages of 35-39. Since 1985, the rate of women having their first child between age 40-44 has risen steadily, though it's still far below that for women ages 35-39: CDCRates for all births, not just of a first child, to women over 35 have been rising over the past 20 years, while birth rates for younger women are stable or declining. Still, the majority of births are to women under 35, about 85% of the total in 2013." }, { "docid": "D580089#0", "title": "http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/profiles/United-States/People\nUnited States People Stats", "text": "\"Compare United States People to United States People Stats Home Country Info Profiles United States People Definitions Age distribution > Median age : The median age of the country's residents.

According to a National Center for Health Statistics spokesperson, with the exception of a few states, the most recent state-level data on the mean maternal age at first birth comes from 2006; in order to get more recent numbers, we turned to the epidemiologists and data specialists at various state health departments. ( A few states had already published recent data for a mother's average age at first birth, while our trusty researcher Jocelyn Sears calculated approximate averages from raw data for Florida, Kansas, Rhode Island, and Vermont.) As you might expect (or already know) the average age that women are first having children is on the rise—but that's not the only story the data is telling. For the year 2013, in all but a handful of states, the average age at first birth was actually lower than women's average age at first marriage. Only Ohio, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming saw lower first marriage numbers than first birth numbers (it was the same—27 years old—in Minnesota). On average, the age at first marriage is 27.4 years old in the U.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) says the rise in the average age was a result of more women putting education and careers ahead of having a family. Figures for last year also show that the number of births recorded in England and Wales fell by the largest annual rate for 40 years. The age of mothers has been rising steadily since 1975, when a woman typically gave birth when she was 26.4.

Based on my own anecdotal research, I'd say the odds are also high that if you got your first period at that age, at least one older woman in your life remarked about how \"\"young\"\" you were to be dealing with ye old Crimson Menace. That's because, historically speaking, you probably were. It happened to me and most of my friends: as we spent 6th grade trying to figure out exactly what these \"\"stick-on wings\"\" were all about, our moms — who all claimed to have gotten their periods around the age of 16 — clucked their tongues about how \"\"young\"\" we were, as if we had gotten our periods at that age on purpose or something. It annoyed me (I didn't want to mess with pantyliners at 11! I just wanted to give my American Girl Dolls bad haircuts! ), but it also made me wonder: were they actually right? Had the age at which we get our first period really dropped that sharply? There's been a lot of discussion recently about how American children ( both male and female) are entering puberty at earlier and earlier ages. Early puberty is attributed to everything from better nutrition to poorer nutrition genetics to environmental pollution to indoor lighting." } ]

This is a good marker to use because a girl's age at menarche can vary by quite a lot. In a group of girls studied in a state social care environment, girls of the same age exhibited as much difference as 3.5 years in developmental growth despite being the same chronological age (meaning one girl might be two years ahead of the average when menarche occurs and another girl two years behind the average even though they're both the same age) [source: Pryor, et al ]. However, puberty starts before that, often between the ages of 10 and 14. Before menarche occurs, the hormonal makeup of the body changes, pubic hair appears and breasts begin developing (we'll talk more about that later). A girl's average age at the time of her first period is 12 years old. Periods can come earlier or later than that, however, and the average age of menarche has been dropping. Girls for whom menarche occurs after age 13 tend to have more irregular ovulation cycles until age 18 or 19 [source: Medicine Net ].

The two things that are most closely tied to the age when a girl starts her periods, that she can readily assess herself are: first real bra and armpit hair. A \"\"real\"\" bra means one with a cup size attached to it, as opposed to small, medium, large distinctions. Armpit hair is self-explanatory. Any amount will do. At this point, a girl will probably start her periods within 3-6 months, if she hasn't already. It also occurs right after the growth spurt of adolescence. So, if a girl grew, grew, grew, last year and has slowed down (no more than 2.5 inches a year) then periods are right around the corner.

These findings are especially notable given that, around the world, the average age of menarche has dropped steadily since the 1950s. With new studies coming out regularly about girls going through puberty earlier, we were curious: What's causing this global decline—and what are the potential long-term consequences? Not girls, not yet women It turns out that if I had been born in the 1800s, I would have been on the early side for getting my period. In the mid-19 th Century, the average age of menarche in the U.

Information is indeed available on the BMRs of children of all ages for which prediction equations are given in Table 5. However, in young infants, in whom the requirement for growth is a substantial component of the total requirement for energy, there are large variations within the normal range, in the rate of growth, and probably also in the composition of the tissue laid down. Moreover, for both infants and children, it is not possible to specify with any confidence the allowance that should be made for a desirable level of physical activity. We have therefore followed the example of the 1971 Committee (la) and estimated the energy requirements from birth to 10 years from the observed intakes of healthy children growing normally.6.3.1.1 Infants (birth to 12 months). Up to 6 months of age the 1971 Committee ( la) used the results collected by Fomon et al. ( 55 ) for the intakes of infants fed breast milk by bottle.

A: On average, pullets, or juvenile hens, start laying eggs at about 6 months of age, depending on the breed. Larger, heavier birds like Wyandottes, Plymouth Rocks and Orpingtons will lay on the later side whereas lighter, smaller breeds like Leghorns, Stars, and Australorps will start laying sooner. However, if your birds come into maturity at the coldest, darkest part of the year, they will sometimes not begin laying until spring: six months is just the average! We guarantee you that every day past five months that they haven't begun to lay will seem like an eternity!

Answer Most pullets (yearling hens) will begin laying eggs by about 6 months of age, depending on the time of year. During the fall, when molting and growing new feathers, egg production will often stop, until feathers are grown in. Egg production is stimulated by sunshine. In climates that experience little winter sunshine, often egg production is held off, or slowed, until sunnier weather and seems to peak near the end of summer. Remember chickens lay eggs for the purpose of hatching. Chicks hatching in the cold of winter would have a hard time staying warm and thriving, so this is not a peak egg laying period. Genetically speaking, Barred Rocks and Rhode Island Reds are good laying breeds, but some are bred for show and others for production.

Omede ABSTRACTPoultry egg is a vehicle for reproduction; it also serves as a source of food for human consumption. The size and shape of avian eggs differs among the various species of birds, but all eggs have three main parts-yolk, albumen and shell. The quality of eggs depends on physical make up and chemical composition of its constituent parts. Due to the diversity in the potential uses of poultry eggs and the subsequent consumer demands that egg quality become extremely difficult to define. Egg quality is the more important price contributing factor in table and hatching eggs. It is obvious that quality of egg is important from producer’s point of view. One of the biggest challenges for the poultry industry is to provide consistent quality egg products to the consumer. Thus breeding companies are shifting selection emphasis to improved egg quality. Problems associated with egg quality include: egg shell defect and internal defects which can be broadly categorized into three groups namely: defects affecting yolk quality, defects affecting albumin quality and defects affecting overall quality. Egg quality defects are usually easily resolved, but can be costly if they are not dealt with quickly." }, { "docid": "D529031#0", "title": "http://www.theselfsufficienthomeacre.com/2013/09/how-to-get-more-eggs.html\nHow to Get More Eggs from Your Laying Hens", "text": "\"How to Get More Eggs from Your Laying Hens Lisa Lynn September 2, 2013 Chickens, Eggs For more information, check out my articles How to Feed Your Hens for the Best Egg Production , Do Chickens Lay Eggs in Winter? and How to Cull Your Old Laying Hens.

But, if you are breeding for real quality (large, well shaped, well marked, good natured) birds, it's a bit more of a challenge. Anyone can just place a nestbox on a cage, place two cockatiels of the opposite sex in it, and let nature take it's course. But, responsible breeding takes a lot more thought and time than that. In preparing to breed your cockatiels, you have to consider the health of the breeders, their colors and appearance (and what colors you want to end up with) as well as their temperaments. If you want to breed certain mutations, then you will need to familiarize yourself with some basic genetics concepts and how they affect mutations. You also must prepare a cage which will allow the necessary exercise and space during the breeding, brooding, fledging, and weaning stages. In addition to that, you must provide a nestbox which is suitable for the breeding pair and up to around 6 or so babies as they grow.

By Jen Davis | Updated August 11, 2017Generally speaking, chickens are said to be adults when they reach the point of sexual maturity and begin laying eggs. This typically occurs when the chickens are between 16 and 24 weeks of age, depending on breed, but even some individuals within a breed will develop more quickly or slowly than others. The ballpark age for when a young chicken is considered mature is 18 weeks. The Egg Laying Process The life cycle of a chicken starts when an egg is formed within the body of a hen. The yolk forms inside the ovary, travels through the oviduct by way of the hen's vagina. The entire development and egg laying process takes 25 to 26 hours per egg. Once an egg has been laid, it will take approximately 21 days after incubation begins to hatch into a fully developed chick. Healthy baby chicks are covered in soft downy feathers; their eyes are open when they hatch. Chick Growth and Development Baby chicks shed their down and begin developing actual feathers when they are between 3 and 6 weeks old." }, { "docid": "D2347590#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hen_(bird)\nChicken", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Hen (bird))navigation search For chickens as food, see Chicken (food).

It is one of the most common and widespread domestic animals, with a total population of more than 19 billion as of 2011. There are more chickens than any other bird or domesticated fowl. [ 1] Humans keep chickens primarily as a source of food (consuming both their meat and eggs) and, more rarely, as pets. Genetic studies have pointed to multiple maternal origins in Southeast Asia, East Asia, [2] and South Asia, but with the clade found in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa originating in the Indian subcontinent. From India, the domesticated chicken was imported to Lydia in western Asia Minor, and to Greece by the fifth century BC.

Even though many people choose to cull two year old hens from their flock, chickens can actually live up to 16 years. The average natural life span is closer to five or ten years, though, and is highly dependent on breed. Hybrids tend to live much shorter spans since they pour a lot of their energy into that daily egg or into putting on weight as quickly as possible, and one site reports that Cornish Crosses will live only two years even under good conditions. Another way to look at a hen's life span is based on the total number of eggs she can lay. Many people believe that a chicken can only lay 600 to 800 eggs before she dies, so if she's one of the breeds that pops out nearly an egg a day, she may have laid just about all she's going to lay by the time she's passed through two or three egg-laying seasons. Hens who produce fewer eggs per year may be able to lay eggs for more years before kicking the bucket. Our oldest hens are about to celebrate their fourth birthdays, and I suspect 2011 may be their last year on the farm. Of the original twenty Golden Comets we got in 2007, two died of heat stroke their first year (the impetus for the Avian Aqua Miser ), we gave twelve away because we were awash in eggs, one was fatally injured by a previous rooster, and two more have died of natural causes since then. The last three hens in that age bracket are wilely old birds, and I hope to snag their genetics by mating them with our young rooster and raising some chicks this spring." } ]

A few days later, I was reminded of the oft-quoted statistic that every human year equates to seven dog years.

So that means there are many more dogs (toy, miniature, and standard sizes) that can be paired with a Poodle. It probably also has something to do with the fact that Poodles have some fantastic features and characteristics — like they’re super smart, their fur is hypoallergenic, and they don’t shed. The Day I Realized Hybrid Dog Breeds Were Here To Stay I’ve always had dogs: Before I knew better (when I was in college), I bought purebred dogs and raised them from puppyhood through their senior years.

Currently, I have a Labrador Retriever / Great Pyrenees (which we call a Great Lab), a Shepherd / Beagle (which we call a Sheagle), and a Golden Retriever / Great Pyrenees (a Golden Pyrenees).

Smaller breeds normally become fertile at a younger age, than larger breeds. Across all breeds, the average age for being able to mate is 6 - 12 months.

Some dogs may be ready to mate at ages earlier than 6 months, while others may not be ready to reproduce even though their first birthday has long since passed.

Actually the average lifespan of any dog whether purebred or of indetermine descent is between 10 to 12 years of age. However individual breeds may have shorter or longer average lifespans depending upon their breed. For example an Irish Wolfhound has a lifespan that is on average between 6 and 7 years of age whereas a toy poodle or Lhasa Apso is going to have an average lifespan of 12 to 15 years of age.

Let’s talk about collapsed trachea in dogs, what you should know, and what your options are. What is Collapsed Trachea in Dogs? The trachea (also known as a windpipe) is made up of hard rings of cartilage and carries air from the nose and throat to small airways (bronchi) that go to the lungs. Tracheal collapse is a common cause of airway obstruction that occurs when these rings of cartilage collapse. Air has to squeeze through this narrowed passageway, which results in a honking cough. What Causes Collapsed Trachea in Dogs?

Such ancient Asian breeds, also including the Shar-Pei are considered to be the oldest of the modern canine's lupine ancestors and as such, they have had the most time to physically diverge and evolve into the dogs we know and love today, explaining their distinct physical characteristics and small size. Nomadic Hunters The profile of a chow chow.credit: Neonci/i Stock/Getty Images Slightly more modern breeds, such as the Japanese Akita, chow chow, basenji, Lhasa apso, shiba inu, Siberian husky and Samoyed accompanied early nomadic hunters in their travels, migrating as far as North Africa and northern Europe from Asia. This lifestyle explains their geographical spread and subsequent evolution. Those who migrated to other parts of Asia, Europe and Africa, such as the basenji, chow chow and Lhasa apso, evolved physical features, such as short coats and flatter faces, to enable them to better survive in their new environments. The Japanese Akita is perhaps the closest in appearance to the wolf of these Asian-originated breeds.

The study, \"\"American Virgin: First-Time Sex Trends of U. S. Males and Females\"\" reveals trends on when Americans are losing their virginity, and what factors affect when this happens. The main one being a lack of sex education at school and at home. Among their various findings, one of the most interesting is that the total number of people who have ever had same-sex sexual contact is 11.5%. That’s more than 1 out of 10 people. To get these results, they analyzed World Health Organization, Center for Disease Control and National Survey of Family Growth data. For the purpose of this study, the definition of virginity loss is whether the respondent had heterosexual vaginal intercourse. With that in mind, the average age of virginity loss for American men is 16.9 years old, and the average age for American women is 17.2 years old. The percentage of Americans who have never had sex is consistently higher for young women than young men between ages 15-18." } ]

Daily Burn03.06.14 4:38 PM ETShutterstock By Diana Kelly for Life by Daily Burn There’s a new trend in dieting these days—not eating. Yup, “fasting” became a popular trend in the U. K. with The Fast Diet by Dr. Michael Mosley and has trickled over to the states in several variations, including The 8-Hour Diet by David Zinczenko, consulting editorial director at American Media, Inc. And while fasting itself is certainly not a novel concept (people have been doing it for religious reasons for hundreds of years ), “intermittent fasting” as a weight loss method seems to be the new trend. But is it safe? And does it really work? We talked to fitness and nutrition expert JJ Virgin, bariatric surgeon Dr. Marina Kurian and Dr. John M. Berardi of Precision Nutrition to find out. While there are different levels of intermittent fasting (IF) diets, two of the most buzzed about are The Fast Diet and The 8-Hour Diet. The Fast Diet, sometimes referred to the 5:2 diet, encourages people to eat normally five days per week, and trim calorie intake down to 500 to 600 calories total for two non-consecutive days. In terms of weight loss, participants can expect to shed about one to two pounds per week, says Dr. Mosley on his website. The 8-Hour Diet, on the other hand, limits the window of time for calorie consumption to eight hours per day, which is supposed to make the body burn fat and calories more efficiently." }, { "docid": "D3346972#0", "title": "http://www.luckymojo.com/faqs/altsex/firstsex.html\nHAVING S-E-X FOR THE FIRST TIME", "text": "\"HAVING S-E-X FOR THE FIRST TIMEFOR BOTH PARTNERS: How do I have \"\"good\"\" sex?

While this is true for other oils like canola and vegetable oil, I’m here to tell you that it’s okay to cook with olive oil. It has some unique qualities that make it stable under cooking conditions, and provided you’re buying high quality olive oil to begin with, you can sauté to your heart’s content.

By Jodie Gummow / Alter Net February 18, 2014, 9:34 AM GMTPrint179 COMMENTSDespite America's superpower status across the globe and the fact we can claim sex icons George Clooney and Kate Upton as our own, Americans overall are not as sexually satisfied as our foreign brothers and sisters. While some of us certainly hold progressive views about sex, we are still considered by and large a puritanical society, which may explain our mediocre levels of satisfaction. Conservatives and right-wing Christians have long fought hard against political reform to liberalize sex in the United States, from limiting reproductive rights and sex education to lobbying against gay marriage and sex work. But what effect, if any, has this had on our sexual satisfaction? Countries that are more socially liberal and have relaxed attitudes toward sex tend to have lower rates of STDs, teen pregnancies and abortions, and much more satisfying sex lives in general. On the other hand, just belonging to a socially repressive culture doesn’t always equate with satisfaction or how often populations get down—take Russia, where 80% of the population has sex at least once a week. In any event, one thing remains certain. Americans are having a lot less sex than our friends overseas. Studies show people in other countries have up to 70 times more sex than we do." }, { "docid": "D2020882#0", "title": "http://calculatorslive.com/Average-Age-to-Lose-Virginity-Calculator.aspx\n.", "text": "Average Age to Lose Virginity Calculator What is your ethnicity : This virginity loss calculator is based on several researches and helps you find out your right age to lose virginity.

Over 90 percent of parents, at a minimum, want teens to be taught to abstain from sexual activity until they have at least finished high school. ( Some 84 percent of parents favor teaching a stronger standard: abstinence until a couple is married or close to marriage. [ 1]) Teens themselves also favor abstinence education: over 90 percent agree that teens should be taught to abstain from sex until they have at least finished high school. [ 2]Teaching abstinence is not only very popular; it also makes sense. Social science data show that teens who abstain from sex do substantially better on a wide range of outcomes. For example, teens who abstain from sex are less likely to be depressed and to attempt suicide; to experience STDs; to have children out-of-wedlock; and to live in poverty and welfare dependence as adults. [ 3] Finally, teens who delay sexual activity are more likely to have stable and enduring marriages as adults. [ 4]This paper provides new findings on the positive effects of teen abstinence.

Though average costs fluctuate widely, married couples generally save money when combining insurance policies. Consult an insurance broker for detailed policy questions. Health Coverage for health related expenses remains costly even for married couples, and the premium increases with children to insure.

Between 1800 and 1900, women generally married for the first time between the ages of 20 and 22. Less is known about the average age of first marriages for men during the 19th century. In 1890, when the U. S.

Marriage in the Colonies The average age of a women who married for the first time rose steadily, although not sharply, from 1800 to 1900. North American colonists tended to get married early due to several factors. The first, and perhaps most important, was simply that they could. Many took the advice of the Bible -- to leave home and create your own family -- to heart, and they had the resources to do it. Land was inexpensive, and there was plenty of it to choose from -- it was simple to set up shop.

Married couples with children under 18 years of age, according to the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey ( Table HINC-04 ), made an average household income of $107,054 in 2013 and a median household income of $85,087.ype=\"\"node\"\" title=\"\"Household Incomes Chart\"\"A married couple, as defined for census purposes, is a husband and wife enumerated as members of the same household,\"\" says the Census Bureau in its list of definitions used in the Current Population Survey.

Well, married couples with no children under 18 had an average household income of $91,870 in 2013 and a median household income of $70,995. That was about 86 percent of the average household income and 83 percent of median household income earned by their married counterparts who did have children under 18.

The article presents data on marriages and divorces by age, gender, race, and Hispanic origin, as well as by educational attainment. Many changes in the last half century have affected marriage and divorce rates. The rise of the women’s liberation movement, the advent of the sexual revolution, and an increase in women’s labor force participation altered perceptions of gender roles within marriage during the last 50 years. Cultural norms changed in ways that decreased the aversion to being single and increased the probability of cohabitation. 1 In addition, a decrease in the stigma attached to divorce and the appearance of no-fault divorce laws in many states contributed to an increase in divorce rates. 2Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79)—a survey of people born during the 1957–1964 period—this study examines the marriage and divorce patterns for a cohort of young baby boomers up to age 46. In particular, the study focuses on differences in marriage and divorce patterns by educational attainment and by age at marriage. This work is descriptive and does not attempt to explain causation or why marriage patterns differ across groups.

Research shows that marriages beginning when a woman is 18 are twice as likely to end in divorce as those beginning when she is 22. ) Below are five reasons to get married in your 20s.1. It could make you happier. According to the National Marriage Project’s 2013 “Knot Yet” report, the highest percentage of people ages 20 to 28 who consider themselves “highly satisfied” with their lives are married, as opposed to single or cohabiting. What’s more, the largest number of women who described their marriage as “very happy” tied the knot when they were 24 to 26.

To assess marital trends over time, the authors compare SIPP estimates to data reported in Iams and Ycas' 1988 article, \"\"Women, Marriage and Social Security Benefits,\"\" which used the 1985 Marital History Supplement to the Current Population Survey. The results shed light on important links between sociodemographic trends in marriage and Social Security beneficiaries. Over three-fourths of women aged 40 to 69 in 2001 already had marital histories that guarantee them the option of a spouse or widow benefit at retirement. However, a smaller proportion of these women would be potentially eligible to receive spouse or widow benefits compared to their counterparts in 1985 due to changes in patterns in marriage, particularly among younger women in the baby-boom cohort. Notable shifts include rising proportions of currently divorced women without a 10-year marriage and never-married women." } ]

In This Article Abstract and Introduction Methods Age of Menarche Age of Menopause Conclusion and Future Perspective References Executive Summary Age of Menarche Menarche marks the commencement of the reproductive phase of a woman's life. Records suggest that there was a secular decline in the average age at menarche in developed countries across the 19th and 20th Centuries until the 1950s, [ 17] with an average age at menarche of 15-17 years reported in the mid-19th Century. [ 18, 19] It has been suggested that pubertal timing may then have plateaued in the 1950s, although further small declines have subsequently been reported. [ 17] While recent estimates of the median age of menarche vary between 13 to 16 years, recent data suggest that the age of 15 years represents the 95-98th percentile for menarche. [ 17] A review of family and twin studies has highlighted the key role of genetic factors in determining the timing of menarche, with heritability estimates ranging from 0.44 to 0.72. [ 20, 21] In examining early life predictors of age at menarche, three major themes have emerged, namely the effects of body size, social circumstances and exposure to unfavorable psychological circumstances. The effects of these environmental influences on the timing of menarche can be explained, from an evolutionary-development perspective, in terms of life history theories. Life History Theory Perspectives on the Timing of Menarche The main life history theories have been elaborated by Ellis [ 22] as the energetics theory, and the four psychosocial models of pubertal timing: psychosocial acceleration, parental investment, stress suppression and child development theory." } ]

The age at which first sign of initiation of puberty is noticed relates with the age at which the first period sets in. Tiny breast buds are the first external sexual character noticed around 10 yrs of age. About 6 to 12 months later sparse growth of pubic hair is seen. Interval between the first period and the appearance of breast buds is usually 24 to 30 mo, but can be as long as 6 years. On the other hand, 8 - 10 percent of normal girls get their first period even before 11 years of age. Therefore, age at menarche can vary from 9 to 16 years." }, { "docid": "D49761#0", "title": "http://www.obgyn.net/young-women/first-menstruation-average-age-and-physical-signs\nFirst Menstruation: Average Age and Physical Signs", "text": "\"First Menstruation: Average Age and Physical Signs November 18, 2011 | Young Women, Sexual Health By Karen Sarpolis, MDPhysical Signs That Precede First Menstruation While girls vary in the ages that they are when they start their periods and when the other signs of puberty occur, the order is fairly consistent. The two things that are most closely tied to the age when a girl starts her periods, that she can readily assess herself are: first real bra and armpit hair. A \"\"real\"\" bra means one with a cup size attached to it, as opposed to small, medium, large distinctions. Armpit hair is self-explanatory. Any amount will do. At this point, a girl will probably start her periods within 3-6 months, if she hasn't already. It also occurs right after the growth spurt of adolescence. So, if a girl grew, grew, grew, last year and has slowed down (no more than 2.5 inches a year) then periods are right around the corner.

A girl who has gone through puberty can become pregnant and have a baby. At puberty, a boy's body begins making sperm and he starts to be able to ejaculate, which is semen coming out from his penis when he is sexually excited. If he has sexual intercourse (sex) with a girl, he can make her pregnant. Puberty is started by hormones, which are chemicals that tell parts of the body to do things.

Puberty is the process by which a child's body develops into an adult body and becomes capable of reproduction. It involves physical growth and sexual and psychosocial maturation. Growth accelerates in the first half of puberty and stops at the completion of puberty. Puberty usually begins between 8 and 14 years of age in girls and 9 and 14 years of age in boys. Data from the USA indicate that onset of puberty has been gradually becoming slightly earlier, both in boys and in girls. [ 1, 2] This may or may not be related to the rise in obesity and remains a subject of debate and research. [ 3]Although girls are generally considered to mature earlier than boys, the differences in timing are less than generally perceived. Testes require higher levels of gonadotrophin stimulation than ovaries - hence, the later puberty. However, on average, spermarche occurs at about the same time as menarche with attainment of reproductive capability being achieved at about the same age." }, { "docid": "D3395575#0", "title": "http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0020729212004493\nClinical articleAge at menarche, menstrual patterns, and menstrual characteristics in Jordanian adolescent girls", "text": "International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics Volume 119, Issue 3, December 2012, Pages 281-283Clinical article Age at menarche, menstrual patterns, and menstrual characteristics in Jordanian adolescent girls Majed S.

Methods Menstrual status data were collected from 596 secondary-school students from the Amman area via a self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, cross-tabulation, and correlation coefficient calculations were used where appropriate, and probit analysis was applied to estimate mean ± SD age at menarche. Results The students' mean age was 15.7 ± 1.5 years. Mean age at menarche was 13.1 ± 1.1 years for those who recalled it and 12.8 ± 1.4 years per the probit analysis. Menstruation duration was 4 to 7 days for 73.6% of the students, and it was more than 7 days for 2.2%. Mid-cycle pain was reported by 30.9% and dysmenorrhea by 37.6% of the students, 8% of whom needed to miss school 1 day per cycle. Body mass index was correlated with age at menarche ( P = 0.002). Conclusion The mean age at menarche was close to that reported in studies from Europe and the USA, but it was younger than the age reported in studies from Africa.

Share Email Print Feedback Background In adolescents, disorders of menstruation may present as abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). Broadly understood, AUB includes the following: Absence of bleeding Irregular bleeding Abnormally heavy bleeding Bleeding in between periods Amenorrhea, or absent menstruation, can be either primary or secondary. Primary amenorrhea is defined as either (a) the lack of menstruation by the age of 15 years (or within 3 years of thelarche) with otherwise normal pubertal development or (b) the lack of secondary sexual characteristics by the age of 13 years. [ 1] Secondary amenorrhea is defined as the lack of menses for 6 months, though it is uncommon even in adolescents to lack menses for more than 3 months. AUB, as described by the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO), can be classified according to the PALM-COEIN system, in which the acronym PALM represents structural causes ( p olyps, a denomyosis, l eiomyomas, m alignancy and hyperplasia) and the acronym COEIN represents nonstructural causes ( c oagulopathy, o vulatory dysfunction, e ndometrial, i atrogenic, and n ot yet classified). [ 2] Once a woman has begun menarche, there are multiple menstrual disorders that can occur. These presentations may also be associated with painful menses, known as dysmenorrhea. Menstrual disorders in adolescents do mirror some common menstrual disorders in adults, but amenorrhea, systemic bleeding disorders, abnormal bleeding due to exogenous hormones, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are more common in this population. Using a systematic approach to evaluating this population will help the general practitioner diagnose and treat most of the common causative conditions. Consultation with a specialist may be necessary for complex cases or unusual disorders that are not regularly treated in a general practice." }, { "docid": "D428330#0", "title": "http://puberty101.com/girls/stages-of-puberty/\n.", "text": "Home »Stages of Puberty5 Stages of Puberty for Grils With questions and answers below.

The timing of menarche is influenced by female biology, as well as genetic and environmental factors, especially nutritional factors. The average age of menarche has declined over the last century, but the magnitude of the decline and the factors responsible remain subjects of contention.

Calculating the menstrual cycle Many women find it difficult to keep up with their ever changing menstrual cycle patterns. Keeping a calendar may help to ease concerns of when to expect the next menstrual period. The menstrual period starts the first day that bleeding is seen. It is very important to document this date on a personal calendar as this is considered the first day of the menstrual cycle. The last day before the next menstrual period begins should also be documented.

S. population, median age at menarche has remained relatively stable—between 12 years and 13 years—across well-nourished populations in developed countries. Environmental factors, including socioeconomic conditions, nutrition, and access to preventive health care, may influence the timing and progression of puberty. A number of medical conditions can cause abnormal uterine bleeding, characterized by unpredictable timing and variable amount of flow. Clinicians should educate girls and their caretakers (eg, parents or guardians) about what to expect of a first menstrual period and the range for normal cycle length of subsequent menses. Identification of abnormal menstrual patterns in adolescence may improve early identification of potential health concerns for adulthood. It is important for clinicians to have an understanding of the menstrual patterns of adolescent girls, the ability to differentiate between normal and abnormal menstruation, and the skill to know how to evaluate the adolescent girl patient. By including an evaluation of the menstrual cycle as an additional vital sign, clinicians reinforce its importance in assessing overall health status for patients and caretakers." }, { "docid": "D716638#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/user_questions/106718-what-is-average-age-for-menarche\nWhat is average age for menarche?", "text": "What is average age for menarche?

What is the sequence of bodily changes that take place? Average Age of Puberty in Girls Puberty normally occurs in a series of five stages (Tanner stages) that typically begins between the ages of 8 and 13 for girls and 9 and 14 for boys. Puberty is considered early (precocious) if it occurs before the age of 8 years in girls and 9 years in boys and is considered late or delayed if it has not begun prior to the age of 13 years for girls and 14 years of age for boys. Recent studies have shown that puberty is occurring at an increasingly earlier age in children. Signs of Puberty in Girls The first sign of puberty in girls, which occurs at an average age of 10 1/2 years, is breast development ( thelarche ). This begins with breast budding or the formation of small lumps or nodules under one or both nipples.

Menstruation is not a sign of ovulation but of the fact that the hormonal controls and the reproductive tract's responses to it work. The female reproductive system consists of the ovaries, Fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina and the vulva. The onset of menstruation in girls is known as the menarche and the monthly cycle continues until the menopause. Normal menstrual loss is about 25 ml per day for 4-5 days per month. The amount of blood loss varies between individuals but tends to get heavier with age. A cycle may last between 21-35 days. Puberty/menarche Puberty is a process of maturation of the sexual and secondary sexual characteristics, with menarche as a step within that process. At birth all the woman's immature follicles lie dormant in the ovaries.

However, the average age is higher given that some people enlist later. The maximum age for most branches is 35. On its recruiting website, the U. S. Army reported an average enlistment age of just under 21 in 2012. This was slightly lower than the average age from 2010 and 2011. Other Branches On its website, the U. S. Navy doesn't provide information about the average enlistment age. It notes that you can join from ages 17 through 34. The U. S.

Applicants were required to be single men and to pass a military medical examination.

The requirements in August 1914 were 19–38 years, height of 5ft 6in and chest measurement of 34 inches. In June 1915 the age range and minimum height requirements were changed to 18–45 years and 5ft 2in, with the minimum height being lowered again to 5ft in April 1917. During the first year of the war approximately 33 percent of all volunteers were rejected.

You put in more than 20 years and you got 2.5 percent more for each year of active duty after 20 years (up to 75 percent). During the draw-down, Congress decided military retirement pay was too simple and decided to complicate it. Congress started with small changes, moving the annual Cost-of-Living Allowance to January 1st, instead of October 1st, but then got serious and dug in to make some major changes. Here are some basics of the military retirement pay system that you should be aware of: For Navy and Marine Corps members, you are considered to be a \"\"retired member\"\" for classification purposes if you are an enlisted member with over 30 years service, or a warrant or commissioned officer. Enlisted Navy and Marine Corps members with less than 30 years service are transferred to the Fleet Reserve/Fleet Marine Corps Reserve and their pay is referred to as \"\"retainer pay\"\". Air Force and Army members with over 20 years service are all classified as retired and receive retired pay. When a Navy or Marine Corps member completes 30 years, including time on the retired rolls in receipt of retainer pay, the Fleet Reserve status is changed to retired status, and they begin receiving retired pay. Don't become confused. The above is for information purposes only." }, { "docid": "D3429662#0", "title": "https://www.thebalance.com/military-retirement-overview-3343886\n4 Military Retirement Plans", "text": "\"Military Pay & Benefits Pay & Finances4 Military Retirement Plans Compare the best plans based on service entry date and choices Share Flip Pin Share Email•••By Rod Powers Updated March 08, 2018Congress has authorized four retired pay plans.

You put in more than 20 years and you got 2.5 percent more for each year of active duty after 20 years (up to 75 percent). During the draw-down, Congress decided military retirement pay was too simple and decided to complicate it. Congress started with small changes, moving the annual Cost-of-Living Allowance to January 1st, instead of October 1st, but then got serious and dug in to make some major changes. Here are some basics of the military retirement pay system that you should be aware of: For Navy and Marine Corps members, you are considered to be a \"\"retired member\"\" for classification purposes if you are an enlisted member with over 30 years service, or a warrant or commissioned officer. Enlisted Navy and Marine Corps members with less than 30 years service are transferred to the Fleet Reserve/Fleet Marine Corps Reserve and their pay is referred to as \"\"retainer pay\"\". Air Force and Army members with over 20 years service are all classified as retired and receive retired pay. When a Navy or Marine Corps member completes 30 years, including time on the retired rolls in receipt of retainer pay, the Fleet Reserve status is changed to retired status, and they begin receiving retired pay. Don't become confused. The above is for information purposes only." }, { "docid": "D988#0", "title": "https://fortress.wa.gov/esd/employmentdata/reports-publications/regional-reports/county-profiles/island-county-profile\nIsland County Profile", "text": "Overview | Geographic facts | Outlook | Labor force and unemployment | Industry employment | Wages and Income | Population Overview Regional context Island County is situated in the Salish Sea in Northwest Washington.

Van Eyck, Political Junkie (1980-present)Answered Jan 23, 2017 · Author has 53 answers and 28.6k answer views The short answer to the question is the power play, which occurs when a penalty is assessed to one of the teams. Penalties can last from 2 to 5 minutes, or any combination of the two. [ When a penalty is called, the offending player is sent to the penalty box, thereby affecting the strength of his team on the ice. When a team is shorthanded (when one penalty is called), they skate with four skaters and a goalie (aka, goaltender). While the team on the power-play plays at full strength (5 skaters and a goalie). Most penalties are considered “minor,” which means they are 2 minutes in length (e.g., tripping, cross-checking, holding, delay of game, boarding, roughing, spearing, etc.). A “major” penalty lasts 5 minutes for offenses that cause more harm to the affected layer or are made with increased malice or intention (e.g., fighting, other minor penalties when they target the head, or are especially dangerous; like boarding but with increased force). Sometimes, major penalties are assessed if the affected player is injured, even though the infraction didn’t appear particularly egregious. Sometimes, there are combination minor penalties called, as when a high stick to the face causes bleeding. In that case, the offending team would serve 2-two minute penalties back to back." }, { "docid": "D2068246#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Gretzky\nWayne Gretzky", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search\"\"Gretzky\"\" redirects here.

Introduction to radiation Radiation doses Units of ionising radiation dose Cancer risk Cosmic radiation dose rates Your average annual radiation dose Medical uses Medical radiation sources Questions and answers Introduction to radiation Radiation can be described as energy or particles from a source that travel through space or other mediums. Light, heat, microwaves and wireless communications are all forms of radiation. The kind of radiation discussed here is called ionising radiation because it can produce charged particles (ions) in matter. Ionising radiation is emitted by a large range of natural materials, can be produced by everyday devices such as X-ray machines, and can also be emitted by unstable atoms. Atoms become unstable when they have the wrong amount of mass required to keep them stable, an excess of energy, or both. Unstable atoms are said to be radioactive. In order to reach stability these atoms give off, or emit, energy and/or mass. The energy is emitted in the form of electromagnetic radiation (i.e. light) and the mass is in the form of tiny particles. These emissions are called nuclear radiation and such atoms are said to be radioactive." }, { "docid": "D2012779#0", "title": "http://www.investopedia.com/articles/professionals/102315/highestpaying-engineering-careers.asp\nThe Highest-Paying Engineering Careers", "text": "With engineers always in high demand, some of the highest salaries in the world are in the engineering field. Workers regularly earn annual salaries over $100,000 in engineering with relatively little experience compared to other professions. Careers in engineering require specialized education, but considering engineer majors regularly earn among the highest average starting salaries, the time and cost pay off. Those who are interested in math and science, have solid problem-solving skills, and the right education can usually secure a solid career in engineering. Several jobs in the engineering field pay extremely well and are worth investigating further. Petroleum Engineers With a median beginning salary at $103,000 in 2014, petroleum engineers can expect an annual salary of approximately $160,000 with 15 years of experience. The careers for petroleum engineers are flourishing right along with the recent boom in the U. S. oil and gas industry. Job opportunities abound, particularly in the states that produce the most oil.

What happened at Chernobyl? In violation of safety regulations, the operators of the Unit 4 at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant were experimentally testing the electrical control system as the reactor was being shut down for routine maintenance. They switched off important control systems and allowed the reactor to reach unstable low-power conditions. Inherent design flaws in the reactor led to a sudden power surge which caused a steam explosion that ruptured the reactor vessel. Further violent fuel-steam interactions destroyed the reactor core and severely damaged the reactor building. Exposed to the air, the reactor core burned in an intense graphite fire for 10 days. Massive amounts of radioactivity were released into the environment. After the accident, access to the area in a 30 km radius around the plant was closed, except for people requiring official access to the plant and to the immediate area for evaluating and dealing with the aftermath of the accident and for operation of the other reactor units at the site. Approximately 115,000 people were evacuated from the most heavily contaminated areas surrounding the reactor in 1986 and a further 220,000 people from Belarus, the Russian Federation and Ukraine were relocated in the following years." }, { "docid": "D3196297#0", "title": "http://www.city-data.com/zips/90803.html\n90803 Zip Code (Long Beach, CA) Detailed Profile", "text": "\"90803 Zip Code (Long Beach, CA) Detailed Profile Follow city-data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur City: Long Beach, CA (51.66%)County: Los Angeles County, CAEstimated zip code population in 2016: 32,134 Zip code population in 2010: 32,031 Zip code population in 2000: 31,349 Houses and condos: 18,332 Renter-occupied apartments: 9,866% of renters here: 58%State: 46%Mar. 2016 cost of living index in zip code 90803: 137.2 (high, U.

This is due to the left over isoptopes (atoms) from the splitting of the atom and the creation of heavier atoms, like plutonium, which the Nuclear Power plant does not utilise. It is called nuclear waste. The actual quantity of waste output is some 100,000 times less than a Fossil Fuel plant but it is much more radioactive. Humans are exposed to low level radioactivity constantly from naturally occuring radioactive isotopes and cosmic rays from outer space. However, in large doses, radiation has many harmful effects. Therefore it necessary for Nuclear Power plants to in-build many safety mechanisms in order to keep the population safe.

The initial low cost forecasts for these megaprojects exhibited \"\" optimism bias \"\". [ 3]New nuclear power plants typically have high capital costs for building the first several plants, after which costs tend to fall for each additional plant built as the supply chains develop and the regulatory processes improve. Fuel, operational, and maintenance costs are relatively small components of the total cost. The long service life and high productivity of nuclear power plants allow sufficient funds for ultimate plant decommissioning and waste storage and management to be accumulated, with little impact on the price per unit of electricity generated. Additionally, measures to mitigate climate change such as a carbon tax or carbon emissions trading, would favor the economics of nuclear power over fossil fuel power. Nuclear power construction costs have varied significantly across the world and in time. Massive and rapid increases in cost occurred in the 1970s, especially in the US, but these trends were much milder in other countries.

The next year U. S. Secretary of State Robert Mc Namara announced that the United States would rely upon the threat of \"\"mutually assured destruction\"\" to deter Soviet attack. In 1966 two important international treaties, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights, were signed. The U. S., however did not ratify the first treaty until 1992, and has not ratified the second. In February 1967 the Treaty of Tlateloclo, creating a Latin American Nuclear Weapons Free Zone, was signed. In June the Six-Day War in the Middle East took place, and China conducted its first thermonuclear weapons test." }, { "docid": "D773642#0", "title": "http://www.physics.org/article-questions.asp?id=71\nWhat is radioactivity?", "text": "What is radioactivity? With radioactivity making news headlines, we look at what it is and what the risks are. Radioactive decay occurs in unstable atomic nuclei – that is, ones that don’t have enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together due to an excess of either protons or neutrons. It comes in three main types – named alpha, beta and gamma for the first three letters of the Greek alphabet. Alpha decay An alpha particle is identical to a helium nucleus, being made up of two protons and two neutrons bound together. It initially escapes from the nucleus of its parent atom, invariably one of the heaviest elements, by quantum mechanical processes and is repelled further from it by electromagnetism, as both the alpha particle and the nucleus are positively charged. The process changes the original atom from which the alpha particle is emitted into a different element. Its mass number decreases by four and its atomic number by two. For example, uranium-238 will decay to thorium-234. Sometimes one of these daughter nuclides will also be radioactive, usually decaying further by one of the other processes described below." }, { "docid": "D1905117#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_Joe\nAverage Joe", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For the reality show, see Average Joe (TV series).

The terms average Joe, ordinary Joe, Joe Sixpack, Joe Lunchbucket, Joe Snuffy, Joe Schmo (for males) and ordinary Jane, average Jane, and plain Jane (for females), are used primarily in North America to refer to a completely average person, typically an average American. It can be used both to give the image of a hypothetical \"\"completely average person\"\" or to describe an existing person. Parallel terms in other languages for local equivalents exist worldwide. Today, statistics by the United States Department of Commerce provide information regarding the societal attributes of those who may be referred to as being \"\"average\"\". While some individual attributes are easily identified as being average, such as the median income, other characteristics, such as family arrangements may not be identified as being average. In 2001, for example no single household arrangement constituted more than 30% of total households. Married couples with no children were the most common constituting 28.7% of households. It would nonetheless be inaccurate to state that the average American lives in a childless couple arrangement as 71.3% do not.

In 1894, the New Jersey Legislature banned parimutuel gambling, [5] and in 1897 the voters of New Jersey approved a referendum which amended the state constitution to ban all gambling (or possibly all commercial gambling).

Table of Content [ show]Get the PDF Here While most people are familiar with some basic bingo terms, the vocabulary used in the online bingo community varies slightly from the terms used in regular, in person bingo games. To make the assimilation process for new players an easier transition, we’ve covered some of the most confusing aspects of play such as traditional bingo calls and rude bingo calls, as well as several other tips and tricks to keep you from stepping on anyone’s toes the first few times you play. Alternative bingo calls While you may be confused if someone asks you if they just called Dirty Gertie, they’re merely using dirty bingo calls, also known as alternative bingo calls or bingo call nicknames. Usually made up of funny or inappropriate short phrases that rhyme with a given number, such as 30 “Dirty Girty”, these bingo call outs can also make a cultural reference, such as “All the Beans” for 57.

That's when a state-run lottery called \"\"Lo Gioco del Lotto d'Italia\"\" started in Italy. ( Interestingly, even to this day you can still play that lotto every Saturday.) The French picked up lotto in the late 1700s. One version used a playing card with nine columns and three rows, with four free spaces per row. The caller reached into a bag and picked out wooden chips marked 1 through 90 (1 to 10 for the first column, 11 to 20 for the second, and so forth). The first player to cover one whole row was the winner. These lottery-type bingo games soon became a craze throughout Europe. Bingo as we know it today was popularized by Edwin S. Lowe, a struggling but enterprising toy salesman from New York.

Patients can lose facial expression and sometimes the ability to speak. In as many as half, the disease also comes with psychiatric complications of anxiety and depression. No one knows what causes Parkinson's. Most cases arise spontaneously; some are hereditary. What is known is that brain cells in the area of the brain called the \"\"substantia nigra\"\" die off.

Now, Shy-Drager syndrome is recognized as one of three manifestations of multisystem atrophy. The other two are striatonigral degeneration and olivopontocerebellar atrophy (OPCA). The three are classified together because of their clinical overlap and neuroanatomical similarities. Multisystem atrophy has three cardinal features: Parkinsonism Autonomic failure (including orthostatic hypotension, erectile dysfunction [ED, impotence], and urinary incontinence or retention)Cerebellar ataxia (failure of muscular coordination)All three characteristics occur in the majority of MSA cases, but with considerable variation with regards to specific attributes, and any one of the three may predominate. If autonomic failure predominates, MSA is known as Shy-Drager syndrome. If parkinsonism predominates, it is known as striatonigral degeneration. Striatonigral degeneration is usually indistinguishable from Parkinson's disease, except that it does not respond to Parkinson's treatment.

Lewy body dementia (LBD) is a disease associated with abnormal deposits of a protein called alpha-synuclein in the brain. These deposits, called Lewy bodies, affect chemicals in the brain whose changes, in turn, can lead to problems with thinking, movement, behavior, and mood. LBD is one of the most common causes of dementia, after Alzheimer’s disease and vascular disease. Diagnosing LBD can be challenging for a number of reasons. Early LBD symptoms are often confused with similar symptoms found in other brain diseases like Alzheimer’s. Also, LBD can occur alone or along with Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease. There are two types of LBD — dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson’s disease dementia. The earliest signs of these two diseases differ but reflect the same biological changes in the brain. Over time, people with dementia with Lewy bodies or Parkinson’s disease dementia may develop similar symptoms." }, { "docid": "D874861#0", "title": "http://www.chiro.org/nutrition/ABSTRACTS/Parkinsons_Disease_as_Multifactorial.shtml\nParkinson's Disease as Multifactorial Oxidative Neurodegeneration: Implications for Integrative Management", "text": "\"FROM: Alternative Medicine Review 2000 (Dec); 5 (6): 502–545 ~ FULL TEXTParris M. Kidd, Ph DFrom the FULL TEXT Article: Introduction Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common disease of motor system degeneration and, after Alzheimer's disease, the second most common neurodegenerative disease. [ 1] Parkinson's disease takes a heavy toll in mental anguish, lost productivity, and health care expenditures. PD prominently features dopamine transmitter insufficiency, and current management is almost exclusively reliant on dopamine replacement drugs. But, while these drugs are initially effective in most patients, they do not slow the underlying degeneration in the area of the brain most affected, the substantia nigra (SN). Their effectiveness declines over time and their adverse effects become increasingly more troublesome. Broader options for long-term management are urgently needed. Many different lines of evidence have converged to suggest PD is primarily an oxidative disease, fueled by endogenous susceptibility and driven by the cumulative contributions of endogenous and exogenous (environmental) oxidant stressors. In this review the evidence for the various oxidative contributions to PD is critiqued, from the perspective of developing a more effective and necessarily more integrative strategy for its medical management. A Disease of Progressive Neurodegeneration Parkinson’s disease was first described in 1817 by the physician James Parkinson. [ 2 ] Prior to this, accounts of the symptoms were remarkably scarce, which led many researchers to theorize whether this disease may have been a product of the beginning of the early 19th century and the Industrial Revolution in England.

About Symptoms Diagnosis Causes & risks Treatments About Parkinson's disease dementia The brain changes caused by Parkinson's disease begin in a region that plays a key role in movement. As Parkinson's brain changes gradually spread, they often begin to affect mental functions, including memory and the ability to pay attention, make sound judgments and plan the steps needed to complete a task. The key brain changes linked to Parkinson's disease and Parkinson's disease dementia are abnormal microscopic deposits composed chiefly of alpha-synuclein, a protein that's found widely in the brain but whose normal function isn't yet known. The deposits are called \"\"Lewy bodies\"\". Lewy bodies are also found in several other brain disorders, including dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Evidence suggests that dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinson's disease and Parkinson's disease dementia may be linked to the same underlying abnormalities in brain processing of alpha-synuclein. Another complicating factor is that many people with both dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson's disease dementia also have plaques and tangles — hallmark brain changes linked to Alzheimer's disease. Parkinson's disease is a fairly common neurological disorder in older adults, estimated to affect nearly 2 percent of those older than age 65.

( Photos: Getty Images)News that Robin Williams had been grappling with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease before ending his life has sparked increased interest in the disorder this week. And that’s coincided with a fast-rising awareness of a similar disease — amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or AL S — due to the Ice Bucket Challenge, a fundraising campaign that’s swept social media recently, prompting everyone from Ethel Kennedy to Justin Timberlake to dump freezing water over their heads in the name of research. ( And it’s worked, raising millions for the cause .) So how closely linked to Parkinson’s is ALS? Both are progressive neurodegenerative diseases, and neither has a cure. But beyond that, the differences are vast. “Both occur because some cells in the brain degenerate, and both are diseases of the motor system, meaning they affect how someone moves,” Dr. U.

S. retirees report retiring is 62, the highest Gallup has found since first asking Americans this question in 1991. This age has increased in recent years, while the average age at which non-retired Americans expect to retire, 66, has largely stayed the same. However, this age too has slowly increased from 63 in 2002. These trends in Americans' actual vs. expected age of retirement are from Gallup's annual Economy and Personal Finance survey, conducted April 3-6, 2014. As part of that survey, Gallup asks retired Americans to report the age at which they retired, and non-retired Americans the age at which they expect to retire. Americans' average self-reported age of retirement has slowly moved upward. Gallup conducted several polls in the early 1990s and found that the average retirement age was 57 in both 1991 and 1993. From 2002 through 2012, the average hovered around 60. Over the past two years, the average age at which Americans report retiring has increased to 62. Retirement age may be increasing because many baby boomers are reluctant to retire." } ]

Bureau of Labor Statistics' Consumer Expenditure Survey and from the biennial Health and Retirement Study survey conducted by the Survey Research Center at the University of Michigan. Both of these survey datasets allow estimates of retirement spending for the median U. S. retiree as well as for retirees from a range of lower and higher income subgroups. Since both surveys have been conducted repeatedly over long time periods, they allow changes in retirement spending patterns over time to be examined. The Health and Retirement Study actually follows the same people over time, in what is known as a panel design, allowing even more detailed examination of the effects of retirement on individuals. Examples of such longitudinal studies include spending pattern changes as individuals transition into retirement, and spending changes during recessionary periods as a function of retirement income level. Retirement spending trends observed for the average U. S. retiree include the following: Spending drops modestly (14%) immediately after retirement, partly due to the cessation of work-related expenses (e.g. special clothing and transportation) and changes in food expenditures.

Saving for retirement is a crucial part of creating stability and security in our later years, though retirement readiness is on a steady decline. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at what the levels of average retirement savings by a specific age should be. We’ll also provide you with some retirement planning guidelines to determine whether you are on track for a comfortable retirement. Plans to Kick Back Your Heels According to a Gallup poll conducted in 2015, 37% of working-age Americans don’t expect that they will be able to retire at least until age 65.

The percentage of nonretirees who plan to retire exactly at age 65 -- the traditional retirement age -- has been fairly consistent since the early 2000s, ranging between 24%, where it stands today, and 28%. It was only slightly higher in 1995, at 32%. At the same time, a sea change has occurred in preferences for retiring earlier or later than that age point. Prior to 2009, the plurality of nonretired Americans planned to retire before age 65. Since then, the plurality have said they will retire after they reach age 65. These trends in Americans' expected age of retirement are from Gallup's annual Economy and Personal Finance survey, conducted April 9-12, 2015.

The EPI broke down the percentage of families with retirement savings by age. Those between 56 and 61 are more likely to have an account (61%), while those between 32 and 37 are least likely to have one (51%). Scroll over the chart to see how the percentages have changed for different age groups over time: The average retirement savings of all American families is $95,776, but there is more to that number than meets the eye. Since so many families have no savings, the median — 50th percentile — family has just $5,000 saved.

Matthew Frankel ( TMFMath Guy)Jun 5, 2015 at 7:04AMSource: 401kcalculator.org via flickr Unlike many retirement programs, such as pensions, Social Security is not calculated by applying a formula to your last few years' earnings. What many people don't understand is that Social Security takes decades of earnings into account, and applies different multipliers for different income levels. Here's how your Social Security benefit is determined, and how you determine what early retirement could really cost. The basic formula, and calculating your benefit Simply put, your Social Security benefit is calculated with your highest 35 years of earnings, adjusted for inflation, and up to a certain maximum. Using index factors that correspond to each year, the Social Security Administration figures out the average monthly income of your 35 best years. Then, several multipliers are applied to your average monthly earnings in order to determine your benefit amount. Currently, the benefit is calculated from your monthly earnings as follows: Income up to $826 Multiply by 0.9From $826-$4,980Multiply by 0.32Income above $4,980 Multiply by 0.15Note: Social Security takes into account a maximum of $117,000 in earnings for 2014, or $9,750 monthly. For example, let's say that your calculated average monthly earnings are $2,500. You would take the first $826 of that amount and multiply it by 0.90, which would give you $743.40." }, { "docid": "D1883212#0", "title": "http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/COLA/Benefits.html\nSocial Security", "text": "\"Summary Social Security benefits are typically computed using \"\"average indexed monthly earnings.\"\" This average summarizes up to 35 years of a worker's indexed earnings.

The formula used to compute the PIA reflects changes in general wage levels, as measured by the national average wage index. We have constructed examples to illustrate how retirement benefits are calculated. Average Indexed Monthly Earnings (AIME) When we compute an insured worker's benefit, we first adjust or \"\"index\"\" his or her earnings to reflect the change in general wage levels that occurred during the worker's years of employment. Such indexation ensures that a worker's future benefits reflect the general rise in the standard of living that occurred during his or her working lifetime.

Learn More!The Impact Of Early Retirement On Projected Social Security Benefits August 2, 2017 07:01 am 25 Comments CATEGORY: Retirement Planning107Shares A A A107Shares Executive Summary Social Security operates as an income replacement formula, with higher benefits for those who work for more years. As a result, benefits are very limited for those who don’t work for very many years, and are much higher for those with a full working career. To avoid confusing those who haven’t worked very many years yet – but plan to – the standard Social Security benefits statement projects out anticipated future Social Security benefits based on the assumption that the individual will continue working until retirement. Which allows the individual to understand what Social Security benefit they are “on track for” as they continue to work until full retirement age. Except, of course, that not everyone actually plans to work until full retirement age!For those who intend to retire early, the end result is that the Social Security Administration’s projected benefits calculation may turn out to be substantially higher than what someone will actually receive if they retire early, and never actually work as many years as anticipated. The lower someone’s lifetime earnings overall, and the earlier he/she retires, the more dramatic the impact can be, commonly reducing benefits by 5% to 10% when retiring early, and potentially far more for “extreme” early retirement. Although the impact is also substantially affected by whether recent earnings were higher or lower than their long-term average… and whether they’ve already paid into the Social Security system for at least 35 working years (or not). Ultimately, the reality is that Social Security benefits aren’t actually reduced for those who retire early – they simply stop accruing additional benefits when they stop working. But given that Social Security projects the assumption of work until full retirement age, it’s crucial to recognize that actual benefits may be lower for those who retire early – even if they wait until full retirement age to actually receive those benefits." }, { "docid": "D2197091#0", "title": "https://www.fool.com/retirement/general/2015/03/09/the-average-american-retires-at-this-age-will-you.aspx\nThe Average American Retires at This Age.

Image source: Pixabay Retirement is an important milestone in everyone's life, and most people plan for years in anticipation of the day on which they leave their jobs for the last time. With many policymakers looking with concern at the need for retirees to have enough financial resources to last for decades after they stop working, though, some believe that the best answer to making sure that people don't run out of money in retirement is to work longer. To assess the latest trends in retirement, Alicia Munnell at the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College recently took a look at work trends dating back to the 19th century. What she found was that after seeing a steady decline in average retirement ages among men between the 1960s and the 1990s, workers of both genders have tended to retire later over the past 20 years. Let's take a closer look at how and why the retirement age has varied over time and what it means for you and your retirement decision. The average retirement age for American men and women The average retirement age for men in 2013, the most recent year for which data are available, was 63.9. For women, the average retirement age was younger, at 61.9 for 2013.

I did some research into what has happened to the average retirement age during the last century, and how those changes, and changes in life expectancies, have changed the demographics of retirees. In 1910, life expectancy at birth was only 50 years. Retirement was only for the very old, and the average age of retirement from the work force was 74 years. Retirees in 1910 had surpassed the average life expectancy of a newborn by 24 years before they quit working! Life expectancies were short because so many people died in childhood or at very young ages. The hardy souls who lived through childhood illnesses and injuries actually could live a fairly long time, so a 74 year old retiree in 1910 might still live another 7 years after retirement. Very few people made it to that age, however, and those people who were “retirement age” or older in 1910 represented only about 1% of the total population. In contrast, by the year 2000, life expectancy at birth has increased by 23 years to age 73, and the average age of retirement has dropped by 12 years to age 62. A 62 year-old retiree in the year 2000 can expect to live another 18 years, more than 2 1/2 times as long as the retiree in 1910, and nearly half as long as the time they were in the work force." }, { "docid": "D2056602#0", "title": "http://www.ssa.gov/agency/glossary/\nGlossary of Social Security Terms", "text": "\"A B C D E F H I L M N O P Q R S WTerm Explanation AAIME (Average Indexed Monthly Earnings)The dollar amount used to calculate your Social Security benefit if you attained age 62 or became disabled (or died) after 1978.

According to the company, the protocol was amended to accurately represent the changing shingles population as witnessed in clinical practice and enroll the most clinically relevant patients into the trial. Contra Vir's Chief Medical Officer, John Sullivan-Bolyai, commented, \"\"Recent data show that the average age of shingles patients is now approximately 50 years, which is significantly younger than it has been historically, and it is important for our trial to be aligned with the current patient population. \"\" He added, \"\"Furthermore, the majority of patients do not immediately recognize and seek medical treatment for shingles symptoms, rather opting to 'wait and see' if the symptoms get worse while taking at-home therapies such as analgesics or topical steroids. It was necessary to remove certain exclusion criteria from our protocol in order to account for these clinically relevant patient behaviors, which more accurately represent how patients arrive at the clinic with a potential shingles diagnosis. \"\" The company indicated that under the amended protocol, the minimum age of male, as well as, female patients who could be enrolled in the trial was lowered to 30 years from 50, which reflected the age at which many patients currently get shingles. Moreover, trial investigators may now enroll patients who present with shingles within five days of lesion appearance, where previously it had been restricted to within three days, allowing a more realistic window of time for patients to recognize shingles symptoms and seek treatment.

Can a person get shingles more than once? Community Answers Bcassin43 answered... For the most part, it is not possible to get shingles more than once. Occasionally a person will get shingles twice in their lifetime, but rarely more. Most times, people only acquire shingles one time. Having shingles allows your body to build up antibodies to fight against it, which is why a recurrance is unlikely. If the immune system is compromised by some chance, the ability to develop shingles will arise, and in this case it would be possible for a person to experience them again periodically. In one known case of a person with a compromised immune system, he battled shingles four times in his adulthood. Ladynajera answered... Actually BCassin43 your wrong.

Chickenpox Definition Chickenpox (also called varicella) is a common and extremely infectious childhood disease thatalso affects adults on occasion. It produces an itchy, blistery rash that typically lasts about a week and is sometimes accompanied by a fever or other symptoms. A single attack of chickenpox almost always brings lifelong immunity against the disease. Because the symptoms of chickenpox are easily recognized and in most cases merely unpleasant rather thandangerous, treatment can almost always be carried out at home. Severe complications candevelop, however, and professional medical attention is essential in some circumstances. Description Before the varicella vaccine (Varivax) was released for use in 1995, nearly all of the four millionchildren born each year in the United States contracted chickenpox, resulting in hospitalization in five of every 1,000 cases and 100 deaths. Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus (a member of the herpes virus family), which is spread through the air or by direct contact with an infected person. Once someone has been infected with the virus, an incubation period of about10-21 days passes before symptoms begin. The period during which infected people are able to spread the disease is believed to start one or two days before the rash breaks out and to continue until all the blisters have formed scabs, which usually happens four to 7 days after therash breaks out but may be longer in adolescents and adults." }, { "docid": "D1605443#0", "title": "http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/shingles\nshingles", "text": "\"shingles Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Idioms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia .

The virus that causes chickenpox, the varicella zoster virus (VSV), can become dormant in nerve cells after an episode of chickenpox and later reemerge as shingles. Initially, red patches of rash develop into blisters. Because the virus travels along the nerve to the skin, it can damagethe nerve and cause it to become inflamed. This condition can be very painful. If the painpersists long after the rash disappears, it is known as postherpetic neuralgia. Description Any person who has had chickenpox can develop shingles. Approximately 500,000 cases of shingles occur every year in the United States, according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).

Both the active varicella and zoster form of the virus can cause chickenpox. The shingles virus in its latent (inactive) form is never contagious. Catching Chickenpox. Most people get chickenpox from exposure to other people with chickenpox. It is most often spread through sneezing, coughing, and breathing. It is so contagious that few nonimmunized people escape this common disease when they are exposed to someone else with the disease. People can also catch chickenpox from direct exposure to a shingles rash if they have not been immunized by vaccination or a previous bout of chickenpox. In such cases, transmission happens during the active phase when blisters have erupted but not formed dry crusts.

During their lifetime about 30% of Americans will develop herpes zoster, which translates into an estimated 1 million cases each year in this country. The risk of zoster increases with increasing age; about half of all cases occur among people age 60 years or older. People who are immunosuppressed, as occurs with leukemia, lymphoma, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and people who receive immunosuppressive drugs, such as steroids and cancer chemotherapy are also at greater risk of zoster. People who develop zoster typically have only one episode in their lifetime. In rare cases a person can have a second or third episode. Can you catch zoster from a person with active zoster infection? Zoster is caused by reactivation of a latent varicella virus infection (from having chickenpox in the past). Zoster is not passed from one person to another through exposure to another person with zoster. If a person who has never had chickenpox or been vaccinated against chickenpox comes in direct contact with a zoster rash, the virus could be transmitted to the susceptible person." }, { "docid": "D3164037#0", "title": "http://www.belmarrahealth.com/senior-shingles-patients-unlikely-to-have-recurrence-of-painful-skin-condition/\nSenior shingles patients unlikely to have recurrence of painful skin condition", "text": "Home » General Health » Senior shingles patients unlikely to have recurrence of painful skin condition Senior shingles patients unlikely to have recurrence of painful skin condition By: Devon Andre | General Health | Wednesday, February 10, 2016 - 01:00 PMIt is unlikely to have a recurrence of shingles – a skin condition – in senior patients, according to researchers at Kaiser Permanente Southern California.

Herpes zoster is a clinical manifestation of the reactivation of latent varicella zoster virus infection. It is a cause of considerable morbidity, especially in elderly patients, and can be fatal in immunosuppressed or critically ill patients. The pain associated with herpes zoster can be debilitating, with a serious impact on quality of life, and the economic costs of managing the disease represent an important burden on both health services and society. 1 Here we provide an overview of the disease and a summary of “best practice guidance” for the management of herpes zoster and its sequelae. Summary points Herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia are common causes of debilitating neuropathic pain Systemic antiviral agents reduce both the acute pain of herpes zoster and the incidence of postherpetic neuralgia Corticosteroids, tricyclic antidepressants, gabapentin, and opioids reduce acute pain and may have additional effects on the reduction of postherpetic neuralgia Tricyclic antidepressants, gabapentin, opioids, and lidocaine patches are effective in established postherpetic neuralgia Large scale vaccination of children and older adults may have an important impact on the incidence of herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia Sources and selection criteria We searched Pubmed (2001-6) by using the terms “herpes zoster OR postherpetic neuralgia” with the limits “meta-analysis and randomised controlled trial.” We searched all reviews in the Cochrane library with the same terms.

The Iredell County assessor's office can help you with many of your property tax related issues, including: Property Tax Appraisals The Iredell County Tax Assessor will appraise the taxable value of each property in his jurisdiction on a yearly basis, based on the features of the property and the fair market value of comparable properties in the same neighbourhood. The assessor's office can provide you with a copy of your property's most recent appraisal on request. Property Renovations and Re-Appraisals If you renovate your property (such as by adding living space, bedrooms, or bathrooms), the Iredell County Assessor will re-appraise your home to reflect the value of your new additions. Renovations may be reported to the Assessor's Office by the zoning board, contractors, or by the homeowner themselves. Unreported renovations will generally be discovered by the Assessor during the next on-site appraisal of the property.

The settlement, known as Fourth Creek Congregation, was named for the fresh water stream, which was the fourth creek west of the neighboring settlement of Salisbury. The center of the settlement was a log cabin where the Presbyterians worshiped and where the First Presbyterian Church is located today. In 1755, the colonial governor Arthur Dobbs authorized the construction of the colony’s frontier fort, which was located approximately three miles due north of the Fourth Creek settlement. Built and garrisoned by North Carolina provincial soldiers, Fort Dobbs defended the British North America’s western frontier in the colony of North Carolina during the French and Indian War and Anglo-Cherokee War. Fort Dobbs combined the functions of a military barracks, fortification, refuge for settlers, provisioning depot and center for negotiations with Native Americans." }, { "docid": "D3388773#0", "title": "http://www.factorypreownedcollection.com/VehicleSearchResults\n1,926 Vehicles Found", "text": "previous 1 2 3 4 5 next2015 Chevrolet Equinox LSSuggested Price$18,650 †Mileage: 25,667Previous Use: Off-lease Your selected dealer will get this vehicle from: Cary, NC 275112015 Chevrolet Equinox LTSuggested Price$19,850 †Mileage: 14,504Previous Use: Off-lease Your selected dealer will get this vehicle from: Winston-Salem, NC 271032018 Chevrolet Equinox LTSuggested Price$27,535 †Mileage: 20,843Previous Use: Rental Fleet Your selected dealer will get this vehicle from: STATESVILLE, NC 286872018 Chevrolet Equinox LTSuggested Price$28,155 †Mileage: 14,541Previous Use: Rental Fleet Your selected dealer will get this vehicle from: STATESVILLE, NC 286872018 Chevrolet Equinox Premier Sale Pending Suggested Price$31,975 †Mileage: 15,448Previous Use: Rental Fleet Your selected dealer will get this vehicle from: STATESVILLE, NC 286872018 Chevrolet Equinox LTSuggested Price$28,155 †Mileage: 14,912Previous Use: Rental Fleet Your selected dealer will get this vehicle from: STATESVILLE, NC 286872018 Chevrolet Camaro LTSuggested Price$28,515 †Mileage: 10,308Previous Use: Rental Fleet Your selected dealer will get this vehicle from: STATESVILLE, NC 286872018 Chevrolet Camaro SSSuggested Price$37,115 †Mileage: 11,608Previous Use: Rental Fleet Your selected dealer will get this vehicle from: STATESVILLE, NC 286872018 Chevrolet Camaro LTNew Listing Suggested Price$28,350 †Mileage: 8,158Previous Use: Rental Fleet Your selected dealer will get this vehicle from: STATESVILLE, NC 286872018 Chevrolet Equinox LTSuggested Price$28,285 †Mileage: 10,394Previous Use: Rental Fleet Your selected dealer will get this vehicle from: STATESVILLE, NC 286872018 Chevrolet Equinox LTSuggested Price$28,365 †Mileage: 11,916Previous Use: Rental Fleet Your selected dealer will get this vehicle from: STATESVILLE, NC 286872018 Chevrolet Equinox Premier Suggested Price$30,320 †Mileage: 12,583Previous Use: Rental Fleet Your selected dealer will get this vehicle from: STATESVILLE, NC 286872018 Chevrolet Equinox Premier Suggested Price$32,465 †Mileage: 8,832Previous Use: Rental Fleet Your selected dealer will get this vehicle from: STATESVILLE, NC 286872018 Chevrolet Equinox Premier New Listing Suggested Price$31,730 †Mileage: 18,286Previous Use: Rental Fleet Your selected dealer will get this vehicle from: STATESVILLE, NC 286872018 Chevrolet Equinox LTNew Listing Suggested Price$28,530 †Mileage: 9,323Previous Use: Rental Fleet Your selected dealer will get this vehicle from: STATESVILLE, NC 286872018 Chevrolet Equinox LTSuggested Price$28,120 †Mileage: 15,209Previous Use: Rental Fleet Your selected dealer will get this vehicle from: STATESVILLE, NC 286872018 Chevrolet Equinox LTNew Listing Suggested Price$26,665 †Mileage: 10,770Previous Use: Rental Fleet Your selected dealer will get this vehicle from: STATESVILLE, NC 286872018 Chevrolet Camaro LTSuggested Price$28,240 †Mileage: 13,918Previous Use: Rental Fleet Your selected dealer will get this vehicle from: STATESVILLE, NC 286872018 Chevrolet Equinox LTSuggested Price$28,085 †Mileage: 13,470Previous Use: Rental Fleet Your selected dealer will get this vehicle from: STATESVILLE, NC 286872018 Chevrolet Camaro LTSuggested Price$28,790 †Mileage: 9,192Previous Use: Rental Fleet Your selected dealer will get this vehicle from: STATESVILLE, NC 28687IMPORTANT: We have tried not to list recalled vehicles on this website.

I found quite more than that inside. After order my coffee, I looked over the selection of teas, and tea accessorie s. Upon asking, I was ... thrilled to learn that the shop has pu-erh tea as well. The owner took the time to answer my questions about the tea, how it is harvested, aged, and packaged. I was delighted to be offered a sample of the tea, and to receive some background informatio n, and age old practices of how this exotic tea is brewed and served. Needless to say, I was pleased with this extra, personal attention, during a time when the shop was not too busy. The tea was flavorful, with its own distinct aroma that you do not find in other teas from China, or anywhere else for that matter. It was a memorable experience." }, { "docid": "D1698114#0", "title": "http://www.neighborhoodlink.com/zip/28677\n28677 Zip Code Profile", "text": "Welcome to STATESVILLE, NC 2867728677 is a suburban zip code in Statesville, North Carolina.

None of them have revealed plans to step down, and if all of them stick around through the end of Obama’s term, the 2016 presidential election could lead to a cataclysmic reshaping of the Supreme Court, and with it the country. As of Election Day in 2016, three of the nine justices will be more than 80 years old. A fourth will be 78. The average retirement age for a Supreme Court justice is 78.7, according to a 2006 study by the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy. “Appointments to the Supreme Court are always extraordinary consequential. But certainly under the circumstances, considering the age of a number of justices and the 5-4 splits in so many cases, it’s now more important than ever,” said Caroline Fredrickson, president of the American Constitution Society, a progressive legal advocacy group. The modern Supreme Court is the most polarized along party lines in generations, having decided a host of deeply consequential issues by fragile 5 to 4 margins. That mirrors the increasingly political confirmation process and tendency of Democrats and Republicans to nominate judges that reflect their movement’s world view." } ]

It was established in 1906 and has fifteen judges who serve in five divisions. The Court of Appeals has statewide appellate jurisdiction of all cases except those involving constitutional questions, murder, and habeas corpus cases where original appellate jurisdiction lies with the Supreme Court. The Court of Appeals may certify legal questions to the Supreme Court. Over the last twenty years, statistics show a yearly increase in the number of cases considered by the Court of Appeals peaking in 1995. Although the caseload has remained fairly level since 1998, the cases filed per judge in 2000 still exceeded the national average for intermediate appellate state courts. Also, during the 1990s, the Georgia Court of Appeals was, on the basis of the number of cases decided by each judge, one of the busiest appellate courts in the country. Despite this demanding caseload, the Court is noted for its prompt rendition of quality decisions. Over three fourths of the 2,544 direct appeal decisions issued by the Court of Appeals in 2001 were final.

Future of an Aging Court Raises Stakes of Presidential Vote By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG JUNE 27, 2012Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 79, is the oldest member of a Supreme Court that includes four justices in their 70s. But it is impossible to predict when the court’s next vacancy will occur. Pool photo by Saul Loeb WASHINGTON — Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is not known for delivering laugh lines. But she drew chuckles from a group of liberal lawyers not long ago while recalling how Justice Elena Kagan, 52, had suggested during an oral argument before the Supreme Court that people born before 1948 were old. “Next year I will turn 80, God willing,” Justice Ginsburg said. “ ‘ I’m not all that old,’ I told my youngest colleague. ”Justice Ginsburg is the eldest member of a court that includes four justices in their 70s, making it among the oldest courts since the New Deal era. Its decisions during this historic “flood season,” as Justice Ginsburg described the end-of-term rush, are likely to make the panel — and the tenure of some of the justices — a significant issue in the presidential campaign. On Monday, the court’s ruling in an Arizona immigration case delivered a partial victory to the Obama administration but also deeply disappointed some Latinos by upholding a requirement that police officers check the immigration status of anyone they stop if they suspect that the person is in the country illegally. On Thursday, the court is expected to announce its decision on President Obama’s health care law, one of the most consequential cases in decades." }, { "docid": "D730399#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_judge\nUnited States federal judge", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article is part of a series on the Politics of the United States of America Federal Government [show]Legislature [show]Executive [show]Judiciary [show]Elections [show]Political parties [show]Federalism [show]Other countries Atlasv t e In the United States, the title of federal judge means a judge (pursuant to Article Three of the United States Constitution) appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the United States Senate pursuant to the Appointments Clause in Article II of the United States Constitution. In addition to the Supreme Court of the United States, whose existence and some aspects of whose jurisdiction are beyond the constitutional power of Congress to alter, Congress has established 13 courts of appeals (also called \"\"circuit courts\"\") with appellate jurisdiction over different regions of the United States, and 94 United States district courts. Every judge appointed to such a court may be categorized as a federal judge; such positions include the Chief Justice and Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, Circuit Judges of the courts of appeals, and district judges of the United States district courts. All of these judges described thus far are referred to sometimes as \"\"Article III judges\"\" because they exercise the judicial power vested in the judicial branch of the federal government by Article III of the U. S. Constitution. In addition, judges of the Court of International Trade exercise judicial power pursuant to Article III. Other judges serving in the federal courts, including magistrate judges and bankruptcy judges, are also sometimes referred to as \"\"federal judges\"\"; however, they are neither appointed by the President nor confirmed by the Senate, and their power derives from Article I instead.

Steven Sabra 03.2015 On the Radio A caller from the local Swansea area asked, “What age limit do judges have to retire in the Supreme Court?”Steven Sabra said that there is no age limit. In the state in Massachusetts there is an age limit of 70. The federal system, including not just the U. S. Supreme Court but the Federal Courts, are lifetime appointments. Sometimes judges in the Federal System, not the U. S. Supreme Court, will go on senior status and hear less cases. It is a big issue because when a U. S. Supreme Court judge steps off the bench then the president has to nominate someone then it has to go through a confirmation process with the Senate. People look very carefully and wonder what is going on because when one judge retires it changes the whole balance. The Senate can stay until any age they want too, as long as they get elected. It is a debate that people always have about whether there should be term limits or not. On one hand, they should give other people a chance." } ]

INTRODUCTIONLike most industries, Australian agriculture has experienced unforeseen gains in productivity and output, through the application of new technology and science over the last 100 years. At the turn of the century, much of the energy used to operate farms came from manual labour, assisted where possible with horse, bullock and steam power. Large scale farming and grazing relied upon the availability of large numbers of unskilled workers. Today, farms which employed hundreds of labourers at the turn of the century are operated by a few people with the help of sophisticated machinery and technology. Improvements in disease and weed control, through the use of advanced chemicals, have revolutionised the ways in which farmers prepare their ground and control diseases in crops and livestock. However, adoption of technology, such as extensive use of fertilisers and irrigation, tree clearing and chemical spraying, brings its own challenges to agriculture. Extensive land degradation through increased soil salinity (such as in the Western Australia grain belt and the Murray - Darling Basin), increased soil acidity, chemical residues in agricultural products, and consumer backlash to genetically modified products, are some of these challenges. The start of our century At the end of the last century Australia was emerging from the impact of two major depressions (in the 1880s and 1890s), and was in the grip of a severe drought." }, { "docid": "D1812244#0", "title": "http://www.eupedia.com/genetics/spain_portugal_dna.shtml\nGenetic history of the Spaniards and the Portuguese", "text": "\"Eupedia Home > Genetics > Haplogroups (home) > Iberian genetics Genetic history of the Spaniards and the Portuguese Author: Maciamo Hay (originally published in July 2013.

Having a hobby and a livelihood are two entirely different areas, since one is something you invest time and in some cases money and one is when you're trying to make a living at. Beekeeping is like farming you have to stay on top of the market demands and be technologically savvy because much of the business is going to depend on how fast you can produce a single product. You will learn that beekeeping is not as easy as other businesses because there is only a certain time of the year that you can get honey from your beehives. In today's business environment if you don't have a website consider yourself a fossil in the area of business because that's your only link to the rest of the world by having a website or even a web page. Most of the companies today are commercialized because the small businesses today are just not equipped to handle the mass production of honey and small businesses won't make a lot of money. When selling honey you are paid by the pound and the average amount after weighing the whole seasons production isn't a whole lot. Commercial beekeeper's average a couple thousand pounds, but farmers have to really push production if they want to average at least 15-30 pounds of honey a year. Selling honey and producing beeswax products are tough on the average everyday beekeeper, since the beekeeping industry doesn't function as a co-op like many organic farmers do in this day and age where they work together beekeeping is sub-contract work and many of these small businesses are sub-contracted by these major corporations to produce honey under their label and their food line." }, { "docid": "D3382674#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affton,_Missouri\nAffton, Missouri", "text": "\"Affton, Missouri From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Affton, Missouri Census-designated place Location of Affton, Missouri Coordinates: 38°33′4″N 90°19′25″WCoordinates: 38°33′4″N 90°19′25″WCountry United States State Missouri County St. Louis Area• Total 4.6 sq mi (11.9 km 2)• Land 4.6 sq mi (11.9 km 2)• Water 0.0 sq mi (0.0 km 2)Elevation 617 ft (188 m)Population ( 2010)• Total 20,307• Density 4,400/sq mi (1,700/km 2)Time zone Central (CST) ( UTC-6)• Summer ( DST) CDT ( UTC-5)FIPS code 29-00280 [1]GNIS feature ID 0755674 [2]Affton is a census-designated place (CDP) in St. Louis County, Missouri, United States, near St. Louis.

Subscribe to Digital Dale and follow along via Facebook and Twitter. By David Scheiderer, Integrated Ag Services Traditional soil sampling is done on a 2.5-acre grid or more, and its effectiveness relies heavily on whether or not the person doing the sampling does a good job. This reliance on human precision leaves room for error. Such errors are unacceptable for many farmers trying to manage record high fertilizer prices against unimaginable volatility in the commodity market. There is the opportunity to gross $1,000 or more per cropland acre, and a farmer wants to capture as much of that as possible by applying costly fertilizer and lime at peak efficiency. How a soil sample is taken can greatly impact the results. If the soil is wet, soil will compact inside a traditional soil probe, making it difficult to clean out between samples. As the person sampling travels through the field taking core samples over a period of hours, the effort it takes to keep the probe unplugged can become frustrating. A partially plugged probe does not collect a uniform sample, adding tremendous variability to the test results." }, { "docid": "D805735#0", "title": "http://www.ldc.com/blog/in-field/indonesian-grandmother-farms-coffee-future/\nIndonesian grandmother farms coffee for the future", "text": "Indonesian grandmother farms coffee for the future SHAREOpung Lambas farms coffee amongst the rolling hills by Indonesia’s volcanic Lake Toba.

The decline in new vehicle sales during the recession pushed the average vehicle age higher, as people kept their old cars running longer, according to Polk. The number of vehicles over a dozen years old is growing especially rapidly, the firm said. This trend of cars growing older has been building for a long time. In 2002, the average vehicle was 9.6 years old. In 1995, it was 8.4 years.

Average Annual Emissions and Fuel Consumption for Gasoline-Fueled Passenger Cars and Light Trucks The amount of pollution that a vehicle emits and the rate at which it consumes fuel are dependent on many factors. The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed a series of computer models that estimate the average emissions for different types of highway vehicles. This fact sheet is one of a series on high' way vehicle emission factors. It presents average annual emissions and fuel consumption for gasoline-fueled light-duty vehicles (passenger cars) and light-duty trucks (pickup trucks, sport-utility vehicles, and the like). Introduction There are a number of factors that affect the rate at which any vehicle emits air pollutants. Some of the most important are: • vehicle type/size (passenger cars, light-duty trucks, heavy-duty trucks, urban and school buses, motorcycles) • vehicle age and accumulated mileage • fuel used (gasoline, diesel, others) • ambient weather conditions (temperature, precipitation, wind) • maintenance condition of the vehicle (well maintained, in need of maintenance, presence and condition of pollution control equipment) • how the vehicle is driven (e.g., long cruising at highway speeds, stop-and-go urban congestion, typical urban mixed driving) United States Environmental Protection Agency Office of Transportation and Air Quality EPA420-F-08-024 October 2008------- ts The most current version of the computer model that EPA uses to estimate average in-use emissions from highway vehicles is MOBILE6.2. EPA, the States, and others use this model to estimate total emissions of pollutants generated by highway vehicles in various geographic areas and over specific time periods. The emission rates or \"\"emission factors\"\" presented in this fact sheet are based on national average data representing the in-use fleet as of July 2008. The emission rates for hydro- carbons (both volatile organic compounds [VOCs] and total hydrocarbons [THC]), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter (PM10 and PM25) are presented in the following tables. The hydro- carbon (HC) numbers include both tailpipe and evaporative emissions, whereas the rates for the other pollutants are for tail- pipe emissions only." }, { "docid": "D236254#0", "title": "http://www.city-data.com/county/Tooele_County-UT.html\nTooele County, Utah (UT)", "text": "Tooele County, Utah (UT)Follow city-data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur County population in 2016: 64,146 (82% urban, 18% rural); it was 40,735 in 2000County owner-occupied with a mortgage or a loan houses and condos in 2010: 11,464 County owner-occupied free and clear houses and condos in 2010: 2,409 County owner-occupied houses and condos in 2000: 9,924 Renter-occupied apartments: 4,098 (it was 2,753 in 2000)% of renters here: 22%State: 30%Land area: 6930 sq. mi.

Back in 2009, the mean age was a record low, 9.4 years. Since then the numbers have significantly increased, reaching to 11.4 years in 2013 and holding there in 2014. To collect these figures, IHS looked at vehicles in operation as of Jan. 1, 2015. The average age of both passenger cars and light trucks clocked in at 11.5 years in this year's analysis. In years past, pickups haven't tended to last quite as long, though. \"\" As long as we have tracked average age, it has gradually risen over time due to the increasing quality of automobiles,\"\" Mark Seng, global aftermarket practice leader at IHS Automotive, said in the study's announcement. This year's research also finds a record 257.9 million vehicles in operation in the US, a jump of 5.3 million over last year. As the older vehicles on the roads suggest, when people go to buy a car, they are keeping it longer.

Actually, I have a question for you. How do you even measure the lifespan of your vehicle? Do you count how many times you had to take it to your mechanic to fix a malfunction? Do you try to remember the date you made the purchase and calculate how many years you have been driving it? Or do you look at the mileage on your dashboard and draw the conclusion based on that? It is only natural that vehicle lifespan depends on multiple factors:1) Manufacturer,2) Class size,3) Regular car maintenance,4) Driving conditions, etc. Having in mind that driving conditions in Canada are rough with periods of life-threatening in the winter, having a reliable vehicle is a crucial criterion in car buying. Year after year, studies are conducted telling us which cars are the most reliable and we should buy. For example, one from 2013 named the 10 cars and trucks Canadians buy while highlighting the fact that vehicle reliability is one of the top three reasons in deciding on a vehicle." } ]

Whippets suffer from the cold dreadfully with hyperthermia. They must be kept indoors in a warm, draught free area at all times. They were bred to race at 57 kms per hour, so a very short coat & little body fat is inherent for the breed as they are athletes in the canine world & one of the fastest land mammals. As whippet's have extremely low body fat, & no insulating hair (that's the fine coat between a standard dog breed's hair coat & their body that assists to keep them warm) so require warm coats when temperatures are less than 19 degrees or 67 farenheit. If it's cold enough for you to wear long sleeves it's cold for your whippet Why do whippet coat's look different to standard dog breed coats? Whippetwear coats are based on a true & classic whippet coat principle to keep a whippet warm. A long neck, chest pieces for cover bald deep chests, & low back ends all assist, just as a buttoned up long line coat will keep your warmer. Whippet's have a low carriage tail, so can easily wear a coat with a low backend. They also require warmth, so why have a poor fitting coat with a bare derriere." } ]

Also known as the \"\"Snap Dog\"\", whippets are capable of running very fast with records of them reaching 56 km/h miles when in full flight which in short, means they are superb racing dogs.

They thrive on human company and are highly adaptable being just at home in a country house or large castle as they would be living in a smaller house providing there is a very secure back garden for them to safely let off steam as often as possible.

While it is generally concluded that the basic stock for all bird dogs is the same, most of the actual facts concerning the development and spread of various breeds is lost to us, and early written records are unclear and confusing. However, it seems likely the dogs of Brittany and Wales had the same progenitors and developed along similar paths, quite possibly interbreeding since the lands are close and conducted much commerce. Good evidence for this supposition lies in the inherent resemblance existing between the Brittany and the Welsh Springer Spaniel.

Whippet puppies can be mischievous and destructive, but adults are calm, undemanding, and unobtrusive indoors, trotting around with a light-footed easy grace and seldom making a peep. They do insist on the luxury of being up on the furniture, so if this offends you, you shouldn't consider a sighthound.

Other than purity (which ranges from automotive, food, and medical grade) you are inhaling the same gas you would get at a dentist, except in a far small quantity. The greatest risk in using this drug is the threat of suffocation due to lack of oxygen (and not from the drug itself). Blue Whale · 9 years ago9 7 Comment Technically it is 'laughing gas' but to those in the know and who have tested the effects will know it by the much more descriptive term 'sexy gas' The effects cause what can only really be described as an evenly distributed orgasm throughout your entire body, from head to toe, fingertip to tongue tip. Touch feels incredible, sound sounds phenomenal, and all of the most important feelings/emotions that make us human and seperate us from all other life forms are condensed from a normal lifespan into 30 seconds of the most blissfully blissful moment bliss could ever give a single person in such a short period of time. Whippets should never be considered one and the same as 'air dusters' which basically turn you into a retard for 30 seconds to a minute, and there will be drool as well (natural reaction to the bittering agents added nowadays to curb the use of the gas as a drug).. As previously mentioned, whippets are 'nitrous oxide; commonly used in medical grade conditions or delicious whip cream. The 'air-dusters' that are commonly used to get high contain a gas called 'difluoroethane', which with persistent use can cause permanent and irreversible tissue damage (as persistent use of any drug in any body will do).

In addition, if too much of something (like ice cream or bread) isn’t so good, we cut it out altogether. The key here is moderation. That’s right, average, reasonable, and middle of the road.

While there are no hard and fast guarantees in terms of canine longevity, it is a well-known fact that some dogs are sure to live longer than others. One of the most relevant factors that affect doggie life expectancy is size, but other factors also come into play just as they do in humans, specifically diet, exercise, and various genetic diseases that seem to affect certain breeds. Always check these factor with a veterinarian when you take a dog into your family. Also remember that generally the smaller the breed, the longer the dog is likely to live. For instance terriers, Dachshunds (or sausage dogs), Pomeranians and Chihuahuas are all likely to have a relatively long lifespan, while the so-called giant dogs including Great Danes, Saint Bernards and Irish Wolfhounds all have a pitifully short life expectancy. Oldest Dogs Ever The oldest dog ever is believed to have been a small mixed breed called Max from Louisiana that died in 2013 at the age of 29 years and nine months. Max belonged to Janelle and Billy De Rouen, who ‘adopted’ him from a sugar cane farmer in 1983. He was said to be a really healthy animal, but began having seizures in his 29th year, purely from his age. A cross between a Beagle, a Dachshund and a terrier of some sort, his claim to fame was approved by Guinness World Records, but he died before the title of World’s Oldest Dog could be published in the annual publication, the Guinness Book of World Records." }, { "docid": "D3432988#0", "title": "https://www.dogbreedinfo.com/whippet.htm\nWhippet", "text": "\"Whippet Information and Pictures Pippi the black and white Whippet at 1 year old Find a Whippet Breeder Place an Ad Rescue a Whippet List Your Rescue Other Names Snapdog Pronunciation WIH-puht Your browser does not support the audio tag.

Quick Links The Brindle Gene Variations in Striping Variations in Base Colour Silver Brindle Brindle and Long Fur Brindle Saddles and Tan Points Brindle Merle Liver and Dilute Brindles Missing Stripes Quick Summary Further Info and Links The Brindle Gene Brindle is one of the recessive genes on the K locus. There are three K locus genes - K (dominant black, sometimes written as K B ), k br (brindle) and k (non-solid black - allows A locus to be expressed). K is the top dominant and k is the bottom recessive. k br sits between the two. It is entirely dominated by K (so just one K allele will stop brindle from being expressed), but is dominant over k, so a brindle dog can have the genotype k br k br or k br k . A dog with one or two k br alleles will express whichever alleles it has on the A locus, but any and all phaeomelanin (red) in the coat will be brindled. This means that the extent of the brindling on the coat depends on the A locus. The following list shows how the different A locus genes affect the appearance of brindle.

For the unenlightened, a lurcher is a running dog that is designed to catch various quarry. Or of course it can be a back street accident. A lurcher can be created by crossing two different pure bred sight hounds. For example a Saluki crossed with a Greyhound, or say a Whippet cross Saluki for greatly increased stamina. If people want a large lurcher then they will quite often cross a Deerhound or a Wolfhound onto a Greyhound, There are quite a few combinations to choose from. The other way to create a lurcher is to cross any of the sight hounds or gaze hounds as they are sometimes called with a different breed of dog completely. More often than not the starting point will be a greyhound or whippet and then the idea should be to blend the qualities of the other breed with the afore mentioned speed. So for example you would use a Collie for brains and guile, a Beddlington for a reduction in size and an increase in gameness, any of the Bull breeds for gameness." } ]

A recent Government Accountability Office report examined how declining marriage rates affect how prepared couples and singles are for retirement. Here’s a look at how your marital status affects the retirement benefits you are eligible for: Social Security. Married individuals have Social Security claiming options that single people don’t, and they can use various strategies to maximize their benefit as a couple. Spouses are eligible to receive Social Security payments worth as much as 50 percent of the retired worker’s benefit (if it’s more than they would get based on their own work record), and surviving spouses are entitled to up to 100 percent of the higher earner’s benefit. Married individuals can also claim spousal payments and benefits based on their own work record at different times in their lives. For example, a wife claiming Social Security payments based on her own work record might switch to survivor’s payments based on her husband’s work record when he passes away if his payment is higher than the one she is getting. “ Couples have an advantage in that they can play the game a little bit and try some strategies,” says Samantha Macchia, a certified financial planner for Summit Financial Strategies in Columbus, Ohio. “ The widow’s benefit is going to be based on whatever his final benefit is, so by waiting until age 70, if something does happen to him, she will get that higher benefit.”" }, { "docid": "D3401296#0", "title": "http://www.focusonthefamily.com/marriage/sex-and-intimacy/when-your-husband-isnt-interested-in-sex/what-is-normal-sexual-desire\nWhat Is 'Normal' Sexual Desire?", "text": "\"Part of the When Your Husband Isn't Interested in Sex Series When Your Husband Isn't Interested in Sex What Is 'Normal' Sexual Desire?

Yes, according to Scott Haltzman, MD, clinical assistant professor in the department of psychiatry and human behavior at Brown University in Providence, R.

In a country where half the girls were pushed into wedlock before they turned 18 — the minimum legal age for marriage — till a few years ago, more and more women are exchanging wedding vows late. Thanks to aggressive campaigns, incentives and stringent laws, early marriages look to be on their way out. The latest demographic indicators provided by the health and family welfare ministry reveal that the national average age of marriage for girls was 20.6 years in 2008, up from 18.3 years in 2001. The data reflects a progressive change in attitude towards the girl child over the last three years. In 2006-07, a National Family Health Survey-3 had reported that more than 50% of women in India were married off before 18. In comparison, men got married at a median age of 23.4 years. According to the ministry’s figures, in Jammu & Kashmir, women are getting married at an average age of 23.3 years. The corresponding figure for Kerala is 22.8; for Punjab 22.2; for Delhi and Himachal Pradesh 22.1 each; for Maharashtra 20.9; for Karnataka 20.3; and for Gujarat 21.

To assess marital trends over time, the authors compare SIPP estimates to data reported in Iams and Ycas' 1988 article, \"\"Women, Marriage and Social Security Benefits,\"\" which used the 1985 Marital History Supplement to the Current Population Survey. The results shed light on important links between sociodemographic trends in marriage and Social Security beneficiaries. Over three-fourths of women aged 40 to 69 in 2001 already had marital histories that guarantee them the option of a spouse or widow benefit at retirement. However, a smaller proportion of these women would be potentially eligible to receive spouse or widow benefits compared to their counterparts in 1985 due to changes in patterns in marriage, particularly among younger women in the baby-boom cohort. Notable shifts include rising proportions of currently divorced women without a 10-year marriage and never-married women." }, { "docid": "D183513#0", "title": "http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2513543/Secrets-average-womans-love-life-revealed-new-survey.html\nSecrets of the average woman's love life: She's losing her virginity younger, having more lovers than ever - and is four times more likely to experiment with lesbian sex", "text": "Secrets of the average woman's love life: She's losing her virginity younger, having more lovers than ever - and is four times more likely to experiment with lesbian sex Average woman is losing her virginity aged 16She now has eight partners, compared to 12 for men Four times more likely to experiment with other women However overall she is having less sex than in the 1990s By Sophie Borland for the Daily Mail Published: 19:26 EDT, 25 November 2013 | Updated: 11:33 EDT, 26 November 2013415View comments Professor Kaye Wellings, co-lead the study which reveals women are having an average of eight partners and indulging in more lesbian sex It is a revealing glimpse into what goes on between the nation’s sheets – and how dramatically it has changed. Women’s sex lives have become more adventurous and they have relationships with twice as many men as they did 20 years ago, a major study has revealed. The average female now has eight partners during her lifetime, up from four in the 1990s – and catching up with men, whose average is 12. They are also four times more likely to experiment with other women than they were two decades ago, and those who are better educated and better off tend to be the most adventurous. Researchers from University College London – who surveyed 15,000 adults – say recent ‘radical changes’ to women’s status have had a profound effect on their sex lives. But overall, they found that adults are now having sex less frequently than they were ten years ago, possibly due to busy working lives. On average, men and women aged 16 to 44 now have sex just three times a month compared to five in the 1990s, which may be because they are taking work home with them.

This has been true for a while, even though studies done right up until the 2000s showed that couples who lived together first actually got divorced more often than those who didn’t. But a spate of new studies looking at cohabitation, as it’s called, are starting to refine those results. A paper in the April issue of the Journal of Marriage and Family, but presented early to the Council on Contemporary Families says that past studies have overstated the risk of divorce for cohabiting couples. Arielle Kuperberg, assistant professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, says that the important characteristic is not whether people lived together first, but how old they were when they decided to share a front door. “It turns out that cohabitation doesn’t cause divorce and probably never did,” says Kuperberg. “ What leads to divorce is when people move in with someone – with or without a marriage license – before they have the maturity and experience to choose compatible partners and to conduct themselves in ways that can sustain a long-term relationship. ”So what’s the magic age? Kuperberg says it’s unwise to either move in or get married before the age of 23. But other family experts say that’s lowballing it." }, { "docid": "D1931795#0", "title": "http://www.statcan.gc.ca/daily-quotidien/080422/dq080422b-eng.htm\nStudy: Sleep patterns of Canadians", "text": "\"Study: Sleep patterns of Canadians View the most recent version.

Tuesday, April 22, 20082005On the whole, women get more sleep than men, but they also have a tougher time getting to sleep and staying asleep, according to a new study. The study, \"\"Who gets any sleep these days? Sleep patterns of Canadians,\"\" also showed that commuting has an impact on sleep, as does an individual's level of income and marital status. On average, someone who made $60,000 or more a year slept 40 minutes less on any given day in 2005 than someone who made $20,000. High-income Canadians tend to dedicate more time to their paid work, spend less time with their children and less time engaged in leisure activities. As a result, their lifestyle has an impact on their sleep patterns." }, { "docid": "D843623#0", "title": "http://www.economist.com/node/21526329/\nAsians are marrying later, and less, than in the past.

Yet, at 35, she is well past Taiwan's unspoken marriage deadline. “ It's a global village,” she shrugs. “ If I can't find a Taiwanese guy that accepts my age, I can find another man somewhere else.” Maybe—but since she still wants children, Ms Hou is also wondering whether to use a sperm bank or ask a male friend to be a sperm donor. She represents a new world of family life for Asians. Conservatives in the West are fond of saying that the traditional family is the bedrock of society. That view is held even more widely in Asia. The family is the focus of Confucian ethics, which holds that a basic moral principle, xiushen (self-improvement), can be pursued only within the confines of the family." }, { "docid": "D1244752#0", "title": "http://cotabatoprov.gov.ph/news/population/\n", "text": "Written by Info Team | Under News | Jun 28 2009The primary asset of the province is its people.

Estonia now has the lowest marriage age in Europe with teenagers able to get hitched at 15 with parental approval. Globally, the average legal age of marriage for boys is 17 and 16 for girls but many countries permit them, particularly girls, to marry much younger. Several places, including the state of Massachusetts in the United States, allow girls as young as 12 to get married in \"\"exceptional circumstances\"\" with the consent of a judge. But in many cases this is a leftover from an earlier age and is rarely tested. Many countries with low marriage ages do not have a particularly high number of under 18s getting married.

The average female now has eight partners during her lifetime, up from four in the 1990s – and catching up with men, whose average is 12. They are also four times more likely to experiment with other women than they were two decades ago, and those who are better educated and better off tend to be the most adventurous. Researchers from University College London – who surveyed 15,000 adults – say recent ‘radical changes’ to women’s status have had a profound effect on their sex lives. But overall, they found that adults are now having sex less frequently than they were ten years ago, possibly due to busy working lives. On average, men and women aged 16 to 44 now have sex just three times a month compared to five in the 1990s, which may be because they are taking work home with them.

There are cultural rules for kissing, for example, that regulate non-romantic behavior. Do you kiss when you greet, or say goodbye to, a work or professional colleague? If so, where should the kiss be planted—cheek or lips? Who initiates the kiss? Are public displays of affection considered okay, or are they frowned upon? Whatever our cultural norms say about kissing, there’s almost certain agreement that kissing a loved one (in private) is not only okay, but highly desirable. As an expression of love, the kiss is celebrated in art, movies, literature, and especially pop music.

Quite often, the parents are purebred and the puppies are a 50/50 mix, but not always. Yorkie-Poo is the official name accepted by the American Canine Hybrid Club, although there are other commonly used names as well, such as Yoyo-Poo or Yorkie-Doodle. Some breeders also mate Yorkshire terriers with toy poodles or other toy dogs to achieve even smaller offspring. These pocket sized or purse size dogs are very popular and can often be seen peeking out from inside a handbag. Having a mixed breed dog does have its benefits, often in terms of health, behavior, and other features such as not shedding. The Yorkie-Poo is a good example, as it is a smart, good-natured mix that sheds little if any fur. They do not seem to be as problematic as other pets sometimes can be for allergy sufferers. The hybrid breed tends to be very playful and friendly, making it a great pet for children.

Delays in toilet training have several causes, which may be behavioral or physical. Remaining calm and determining the cause of the delay can help you get your child on track. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Resistance According to Mc Kenzie Pediatrics, a child that is more than 3 years old and knows how to use the toilet, but refuses, is considered resistant. Resistance or refusal is a common type of power struggle that delays toilet training, and it usually results from aggressive toilet-training methods like forcing your child to sit on the toilet until he goes potty or punishing him for accidents. You can overcome refusal delays by giving responsibility and control back to your child. Allow him to determine when he has to go, and try not to make a big deal out of it if he doesn’t. Give your child incentives or rewards for each full day he goes without soiling his pants, or offer a special treat each time he uses the toilet. Physical or Health Issues Your child may wet her pants or experience frequent dampness for a variety of physical or health-related reasons. For example, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) lists a small bladder capacity as a cause of delayed toilet training." }, { "docid": "D1167386#0", "title": "http://www.projectpottytraining.com/potty-training-tips-for-boys/\nPotty Training Tips for Boys â How to Potty Train a Boy?", "text": "Potty Training Tips for Boys – How to Potty Train a Boy?

Bring your pup outdoors to the same spot each time he potties. Jupiterimages/liquidlibrary/Getty Images O nce your young puppy gains the ability to control his bladder, you can begin potty training him outside so that he'll learn to eliminate in the area you desire, rather than in your home. Generally, this occurs at around 12 weeks of age, when the average pooch can hold his bladder for around four hours at a time between potty breaks. Training can take three to four months, depending on your particular pup. Puppy Development Pups are unable to eliminate on their own until they reach between 3 and 4 weeks of age. Up until this time, their mother stimulates them to eliminate, making any potty training impossible. From 4 weeks to 8 weeks old, your pup is weaning from his mother's milk and won't be able to hold his bladder for more than two hours, so potty training is impractical during this time. His bowel and bladder control is still developing for several weeks afterwards. However, once your pup reaches between 12 and 16 weeks of age, you can begin the potty training process." }, { "docid": "D3324039#0", "title": "https://www.verywellfamily.com/when-should-you-start-potty-training-2632434\nWhen Should You Start Potty Training Your Child?", "text": "\"Toddlers Everyday Care Potty Training When Should You Start Potty Training Your Child?

How to Encourage Your Child to Start Potty Training There are a few ways that you can help your son warm up to the idea. Get him a potty chair and have him decorate it with stickers and sit on it in his clothes while watching TV to help him get used to it. If your child has begun to tell you about having a dirty diaper, you should praise him for telling you and encourage him to tell you in advance next time.

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.

Start housebreaking your puppy as soon as you get him. If you wait, he’ll get in the habit of going potty in the wrong places and he’ll have a much harder time understanding the training once you decide to start trying to housebreak him. It’s much easier to build good habits than it is to break bad habits, so start a good, consistent housetraining program as soon as you get your new puppy. My puppy can go all night without needing a potty trip, so he should be able to go 8-10 hours during the day without needing a potty trip, right? Wrong. Sorry, but it doesn’t work that way. Your puppy is able to hold it overnight because he’s not eating or drinking anything and he’s not physically active during those hours. Very young puppies will need to go out frequently during the day. The time between potty trips can gradually increase as your puppy gets older and is more able to control his bladder and bowels." }, { "docid": "D851969#0", "title": "http://www.med.umich.edu/yourchild/topics/toilet.htm\nPotty Training", "text": "\"potty-training.jpg Most children are ready to begin the toilet training process between 24 to 27 months but some children will be ready earlier or later than that.

With many policymakers looking with concern at the need for retirees to have enough financial resources to last for decades after they stop working, though, some believe that the best answer to making sure that people don't run out of money in retirement is to work longer. To assess the latest trends in retirement, Alicia Munnell at the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College recently took a look at work trends dating back to the 19th century. What she found was that after seeing a steady decline in average retirement ages among men between the 1960s and the 1990s, workers of both genders have tended to retire later over the past 20 years.

In CA a teacher can NOT get retirement less than 55 years old and under 10 full years of teaching.

Here's a breakdown of how the Social Security Administration calculates your monthly benefit, as well as a calculator that can estimate yours. Your primary insurance amount The first piece of the puzzle that determines how much Social Security you'll get is known as your primary insurance amount, or PIA.

Unlike many pension plans, which only take your last few years of income into account, Social Security looks at your entire work history. Every year's earnings from your entire career are first indexed for inflation, up to the maximum Social Security taxable wages for each year. Next, the 35 highest inflation-adjusted years are added together and averaged, to produce your lifetime average Social Security earnings. This amount is divided by 12 to determine your average indexed monthly earnings.

Image source: Pixabay Retirement is an important milestone in everyone's life, and most people plan for years in anticipation of the day on which they leave their jobs for the last time. With many policymakers looking with concern at the need for retirees to have enough financial resources to last for decades after they stop working, though, some believe that the best answer to making sure that people don't run out of money in retirement is to work longer. To assess the latest trends in retirement, Alicia Munnell at the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College recently took a look at work trends dating back to the 19th century. What she found was that after seeing a steady decline in average retirement ages among men between the 1960s and the 1990s, workers of both genders have tended to retire later over the past 20 years. Let's take a closer look at how and why the retirement age has varied over time and what it means for you and your retirement decision. The average retirement age for American men and women The average retirement age for men in 2013, the most recent year for which data are available, was 63.9. For women, the average retirement age was younger, at 61.9 for 2013. Those figures were mixed from the previous year, with men retiring at a slightly older age than in 2012, while women retired a bit sooner than in the previous year.

It gives valuable insight into basic financial planning. By assessing the situation of current retirees, we can draw some conclusions that are beneficial in developing and maintaining a financial freedom plan with an eye toward retirement. In the United States, the average retirement income in 2010 was $30,158. The term “average retirement income” is used rather loosely here because this is actually the average income for all persons who are 65 and older, whether they are retired or not. This figure, as well as all other data in this article, comes either directly from United State Census Bureau reports from 2011 or from calculations made from that data. Though the data is from the United States, it provides helpful insights for people of other countries as well. Lower Retiree Income By comparing average income for people in the 65 to 74 year age group to the average income they made 10 years earlier in the 55 to 64 year age group, I found that retirees have an approximately 23 percent drop in real income. It is interesting that the lowered amount of income roughly corresponds to a 25 percent drop in expenses that many advisors use in basic financial planning with their clients.

Learn More!Valuing Social Security Benefits As An Asset On The Household Balance Sheet April 8, 2015 07:01 am 28 Comments CATEGORY: Retirement Planning137Shares A A A137Shares Executive Summary As a guaranteed income stream that cannot otherwise be liquidated or reinvested, most retirees don’t think of their Social Security benefits as an asset. Nonetheless, its value actually can be calculated, given known payments and reasonable assumptions regarding interest/growth rates and life expectancy. And in fact, the payments are significant enough that it would take several hundred thousand dollars just to replicate the average Social Security retirement benefit for an average life expectancy. For many retirees, that would be a material portion of their total net worth, it not the largest asset on their balance sheet!Yet unlike most other assets, the value of Social Security is uniquely impacted by its assumptions… where unlike traditional assets, the value is actually higher when inflation rises, and is greater when interest rates are low. As a result, viewing Social Security as an asset actually reveals that it is a highly desirable asset for a retiree, uniquely capable of hedging many risks in retirement that traditional portfolios cannot… and making it all the more appealing to preserve the Social Security “asset” for its diversification by delaying benefits as long as possible!Estimating The Lump Sum Value Of Social Security Social Security is a guaranteed income stream available at retirement for those who qualify. Of course, any stream of income has an economic value to it; however, because Social Security is available only as a guaranteed income stream, with specified payments based on wages earned and a fixed starting date that can only be adjusted forwards or back by a couple of years, most people think of Social Security separately from the rest of their (other) assets. A portfolio is a portfolio, and guaranteed income is guaranteed income, and never the twain shall meet. Nonetheless, the availability of Social Security is of material value to most retirees, and decisions about the timing of when and how to use Social Security can impact the needs for drawing on other assets for retirement income. And in point of fact, it’s actually relatively straightforward to estimate what the approximate value of Social Security would be as an asset on the balance sheet." }, { "docid": "D1221903#0", "title": "http://prospect.org/article/senior-class-americas-unequal-retirement\n", "text": "Senior Class: America's Unequal Retirement One of the cruelest manifestations of widening inequality happens in life's final quarter.

PENSION BENEFITSVF sponsors and maintains the VF Corporation Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”), a tax-qualified defined benefit plan that covers most of VF’s domestic employees who were employed by VF on or before December 31, 2004, including the named executive officers. Benefits under the Pension Plan are calculated by reference to the employee’s “average annual compensation”, which is his or her average annual salary and annual incentive compensation from January 1, 2009, with no less than five years immediately preceding retirement included in the average. If an employee does not have five years of compensation from January 1, 2009, such employee’s compensation for a sufficient number of years immediately prior to 2009 is included to produce a minimum five compensation years. There are two formulas for computing benefits under the Pension Plan. The “normal retirement” formula is used for employees who qualify for “early retirement” under the Pension35Plan upon termination, by being credited with at least ten years of service with VF and having attained age 55. The second formula, less favorable to the employee, is used for employees who have not satisfied both conditions for “early retirement” upon termination. For employees who commence benefits under the Pension Plan prior to age 65, the benefit is reduced to account for the longer period of time over which the benefit is expected to be paid. All of the named executive officers are eligible for nonforfeitable benefits under the Pension Plan and the VF Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”). The SERP is an unfunded, nonqualified plan for eligible employees primarily designed to restore benefits lost under the Pension Plan due to the maximum legal limit of pension benefits imposed under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”)." } ]

Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Background In the first year of life, a baby grows and develops at a rapid pace. The amount your baby should weigh at four months of age will vary depending on birth weight, length and gender. Longer babies are expected to weigh more and infant boys typically are heavier than baby girls the same age. Growth charts are used to track growth progress, and pediatricians typically look for consistency in growth rather than focusing on a number alone. Recommendations The recommended weight for a baby four months old depends on their birth weight. The National Institutes of Health recommend a baby double their birth weight by 4- to 6-months of age.

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 ONS singled out the effects of recent recession among possible explanations for women putting off childbirth but also suggested that a trend towards more “unstable relationships” could be driving the age upwards. It suggests that the popularity of “serial monogamy” means that young people are taking longer to settle down and decide to start a family. The Royal College of Midwives said the figures were a stark illustration of the pressures the profession is facing. Overall the ONS said the average age of a mother giving birth in England and Wales in 2012 was 29.8 years, the highest on record and a full year older than the typical occupant of a maternity ward a decade earlier.

If the younger man understands problems associated with age differences in marriage and accepts them then there is a better chance the relationship will work. Some sources say that men often marry younger women because the survival rate of having healthy children increases. \"\" Lo, children are a heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is His reward\"\" (Psalm 127:3).

Factors such as customs and economic issues play an important role in deciding the average age at marriage in different countries. In some areas, religion is also a major component when deciding marriage age. The differences can be staggering. In the US, for example, the average age at marriage varies according to social status, family traditions, and even geographical situation. Generally speaking, people in big cities tend to marry later and wait longer to have children, normally well into their 30s. People growing up in rural communities will probably get married for the first time in their early 20s. In developed countries, the average marriage age has also been pushed back because many couples now choose to live together for years before even considering marriage. In the 1950s, when sharing a home before marriage wasn't the standard, people got married younger. In countries such as India and Pakistan, where it is tradition that parents arrange weddings, the average age at marriage is 17, with many brides getting married as soon as they turn 15." }, { "docid": "D485042#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_daddy_(slang_term)\nAge disparity in sexual relationships", "text": "\"Age disparity in sexual relationships From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Sugar daddy (slang term))navigation search Age disparity in sexual relationships is the difference in ages of individuals in sexual relationships.

This is the first time that the symbolic age barrier has been reached. The average age at which women and men get married has been getting consistently later in recent years. The mean year for first marriages for women in 1991 was 25.5 and just 23.1 back in 1981, the year of the last major Royal wedding. Lady Diana Spencer, as she was then, had just turned 20 when she married Prince of Wales. Catherine Middleton, in contrast is 29 years old, suggesting that the forthcoming Royal Wedding is – despite its pomp – more reflective of British social trends than some admit. The average age of men has climbed from 25.4 in 1981, to 32.1 years in 2009. The figures also confirmed the long-running decline in the institution of marriage, with the number of marriages hitting a fresh all-time low, with fewer people being married in 2009 than in any year since figures started to be recorded in 1895.

So I decided to look at the vital statistics for women who have been married at any time to men who served as President or Vice-President of the United States. I'm aware that this is a heteronormative approach; it is determined really by the available records (which are themselves patchy in places). Many of the men concerned had relationships with women to whom they were not married; in most cases, history does not record their biographical details. I would have very much liked to include Julia Chinn, a slave belonging to future Vice-President Richard Mentor Johnson; they lived together openly in 1820's and 1830's Kentucky, and she bore him two children who took his surname and inherited his property. However her year of birth, and the year in which their relationship started, are unknown, as is the precise date of her death in 1833, three years before he was elected Vice-President (uniquely, by the Senate, as the Virginia electors would not vote for a man who had lived with a black woman).

Many took the advice of the Bible -- to leave home and create your own family -- to heart, and they had the resources to do it. Land was inexpensive, and there was plenty of it to choose from -- it was simple to set up shop.

Liz Graham gets the good oil on the benefits of this golden elixir The results are in: Olive oil is a true superfood. Not only is it delicious in a salad dressing or drizzled over pasta, it has scientifically proven medicinal and weight-loss properties, which can be sourced by having three tablespoons or about 50ml of olive oil a day. This is the opinion of US nutritionist and associate professor of clinical medicine Dr Mary Flynn, who’s been studying the effects and health benefits of olive oil since the 1990s. “The general body of research says that once you have two or more tablespoons a day, you’ll improve your blood pressure, your glucose levels and your good cholesterol ,” Flynn says. “ But I’ve found that the weight-loss effect comes into play at three tablespoons, so that’s what I recommend. It’s an amazing food – it does all these things that help your body, plus it tastes good. ”It’s important to note that when Flynn refers to “olive oil”, she’s talking about extra-virgin olive oil, otherwise known as EVOO. This highest quality version is made by simply cold pressing oil from the olive fruit, and has been found to have the most effect on heart health, which is likely due to it being richer in nutrients. Secret weapon for weight loss Consuming three tablespoons of EVOO isn’t enough to start shedding the kilos, Flynn says, explaining that the weight-loss effect kicks in when it’s combined with a healthy Mediterranean-style diet." }, { "docid": "D2826739#0", "title": "https://www.bls.gov/regions/midwest/news-release/CountyEmploymentAndWages_Iowa.htm\nCounty Employment and Wages in Iowa â Second Quarter 2017", "text": "News Release Information17-1591-CHI Friday, January 19, 2018Contacts Technical information: (312) 353-1880BLSInfo [email protected]/regions/midwest Media contact: (312) 353-1138PDFPDF version Related Links Interactive Tables and Maps County Employment and Wages in Iowa — Second Quarter 2017All four of the large counties in Iowa reported employment growth from June 2016 to June 2017, the U.

The using and processing of raw materials has a variety of negative effects on the environment. At the other hand there are technologies which can moderate the negative impacts on the environment and they also have a positive economical effect. One of these processes is the recycling, which is not only the next use of the wastes. The main benefit of the recycling is a double decrease of the environment loading, known as an environmental impact reducing. From the first view point, the natural resources conserves at side of the manufacturing process inputs, from the second view point, the harmful compounds amount leaking to the environment decreases at side of the manufacturing process outputs. The paper production from the recycled fibers consumes less energy; conserves the natural resources viz. wood and decreases the environmental pollution.

Contents Introduction Understanding the Causes of Dystocia Reducing Dystocia Summary Introduction Calving difficulty (dystocia) contributes heavily to production losses in beef cow/calf herds. A Nebraska study estimated that calving difficulty results in annual losses of $25 million in that state alone. The obvious losses are due to calves or cows that die at or soon after calving. Less noticeable losses are due to delayed rebreeding, more open females, an extended calving season and increased labor costs. While occasional dystocia is almost unavoidable, cattlemen can minimize dystocia through proper management. Control of both genetics and environment (nutrition) is necessary to minimize dystocia. As noted in Table 1, approximately 70% of the calves that are lost between birth and weaning are born dead or die within 24 hours of birth. Most of these losses are related to calving difficulty. Research at the U. S. Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) in Clay Center, Neb., has shown that calves that experience calving difficulty are about four times as likely to be born dead or die within 24 hours of birth than those born without difficulty (16 vs. 4%)." }, { "docid": "D1012071#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Virgin_Islands\nUnited States Virgin Islands", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Virgin Islands of the United States Flag Coat of arms Motto: \"\"United in Pride and Hope\"\"Anthem: \"\" The Star-Spangled Banner \"\"Territorial anthem: \"\" Virgin Islands March \"\"Location of United States Virgin Islands (circled in red)Status Unincorporated and organized territory Capital and largest city Charlotte Amalie18°21′N 64°56′WOfficial languages English Common languages71.6% English, English Creole17.2% Spanish8.6% French, French creole2.5% Other Ethnic groups76.0% Black15.7% White4.9% Other2.1% Multiracial1.4% Asian Demonym Virgin Islander Sovereign state United States Government Territorial presidentialconstitutional republic•President Donald Trump ( R)•Governor Kenneth Mapp ( I)•Lt.

The islands are geographically part of the Virgin Islands archipelago and are located in the Leeward Islands of the Lesser Antilles. The U. S. Virgin Islands consist of the main islands of Saint Croix, Saint John, and Saint Thomas, and many other surrounding minor islands. The total land area of the territory is 133.73 square miles (346.36 km 2 ). [ 3] The territory's capital is Charlotte Amalie on the island of Saint Thomas. Previously known as the Danish West Indies of the Kingdom of Denmark–Norway, they were sold to the United States by Denmark in the Treaty of the Danish West Indies of 1916. They are classified by the United Nations as a Non-Self-Governing Territory, and are currently an organized, unincorporated United States territory. The U. S. Virgin Islands are organized under the 1954 Revised Organic Act of the Virgin Islands and have since held five constitutional conventions. The last and only proposed Constitution, adopted by the Fifth Constitutional Convention of the U. S. Virgin Islands in 2009, was rejected by the U. S.

C., ancient Roman priestesses called the “vestal virgins” were required to keep their hymens intact as proof of virginity until age 30 or they would be buried alive. [ 13]The vestal virgins allegedly were able to carry water in a sieve. Queen Elizabeth (the Virgin Queen) holds a sieve in her left hand to publicize her virginity in a famous 1579 portrait.

Most Protestants, however, believe that Mary had other children by natural means. [ 12]Pearls are a quintessential symbol of female virginity and purity, especially in the context of marriage or religious portraits.

And while fasting itself is certainly not a novel concept (people have been doing it for religious reasons for hundreds of years ), “intermittent fasting” as a weight loss method seems to be the new trend. But is it safe? And does it really work? We talked to fitness and nutrition expert JJ Virgin, bariatric surgeon Dr. Marina Kurian and Dr. John M. Berardi of Precision Nutrition to find out. While there are different levels of intermittent fasting (IF) diets, two of the most buzzed about are The Fast Diet and The 8-Hour Diet. The Fast Diet, sometimes referred to the 5:2 diet, encourages people to eat normally five days per week, and trim calorie intake down to 500 to 600 calories total for two non-consecutive days. In terms of weight loss, participants can expect to shed about one to two pounds per week, says Dr. Mosley on his website.

Over 90 percent of parents, at a minimum, want teens to be taught to abstain from sexual activity until they have at least finished high school. ( Some 84 percent of parents favor teaching a stronger standard: abstinence until a couple is married or close to marriage. [ 1]) Teens themselves also favor abstinence education: over 90 percent agree that teens should be taught to abstain from sex until they have at least finished high school. [ 2]Teaching abstinence is not only very popular; it also makes sense. Social science data show that teens who abstain from sex do substantially better on a wide range of outcomes. For example, teens who abstain from sex are less likely to be depressed and to attempt suicide; to experience STDs; to have children out-of-wedlock; and to live in poverty and welfare dependence as adults. [ 3] Finally, teens who delay sexual activity are more likely to have stable and enduring marriages as adults. [ 4]This paper provides new findings on the positive effects of teen abstinence.

S. According to a 2006 study, men and women in the United States first experienced sexual intercourse at age 17 on average. A 2007 study by Mathmatica Policy Research for The Kinsey Institute notes that 49% of women lose it by age 17, while 46% of men lose it by the same age. Assuming this holds true with the population recorded in the 2010 Census, here’s how that would break down: Women: The 2010 census recorded over 10M women ages 10-14, and over 10.7M women ages 15-19. If we assumed that each age spreads equally (i.e. the same number of 10-year-olds as the number of 19-year-olds), there would be approximately 2M women for each age 10-14, and 2.140M women for each age 15-19. Let’s also assume that virginity loss commences at adolescence, at age 13. Within the two age brackets, ranging ages 13-17, approximately 10.42M women have lost their virginities during this timeframe. Putting the 10.42M over the combined age brackets totaling approximately 20.7M yields approximately 50%. Men: The 2010 census recorded over 10.5M men ages 10-14, and over 11.3M men ages 15-19. Again, we’re assuming that the various ages spreads equally: Approximately 2.1M men for each age 10-14, and 2.26M men for each age 15-19. Again taking the 13-17 age range, approximately 10.98M men lose their virginities during this period." } ]

Includes the Catholic Encyclopedia, Church Fathers, Summa, Bible and more — all for only $19.99... Morally, virginity signifies the reverence for bodily integrity which is suggested by a virtuous motive. Thus understood, it is common to both sexes, and may exist in a women even after bodily violation committed upon her against her will. Physically, it implies a bodily integrity, visible evidence of which exists only in women. The Catholic Faith teaches us that Godmiraculously preserved this bodily integrity, in the Blessed Virgin Mary, even during and after her childbirth (see Paul IV, \"\"Cum quorundam\"\", 7 August, 1555). There are two elements in virginity: the material element, that is to say, the absence, in the past and in the present, of all complete and voluntary delectation, whether from lust or from the lawful use of marriage; and the formal element, that is the firm resolution to abstain forever from sexual pleasure. It is to be remarked, on the one hand, that material virginity is not destroyed by every sin against the sixth or ninth commandment, and on the other hand that the resolution of virginity extends to more than the mere preservation of bodily integrity, for if it were restricted to material virginity, the resolution, at least outside the married state, might coexist with vicious desires, and could not then be virtuous. It has been sometimes asked whether there is a special virtue of virginity; and in spite of the affirmative answer of some authors, and of the text of St. Thomas, II-II:152:3, the statement of which cannot be taken literally, the question must be answered in the negative. Formally, virginity is but the purpose of perpetually preserving perfect chastity in one who abstains from sexual pleasure. Ordinarily this purpose is inspired by a virtue superior to that of chastity; the motive may be religious or apostolic." }, { "docid": "D1670547#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Virgin_Suicides_(film)\nThe Virgin Suicides (film)", "text": "\"The Virgin Suicides (film)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The Virgin Suicides Theatrical release poster Directed by Sofia Coppola Produced by Francis Ford Coppola Julie Costanzo Chris Hanley Dan Halsted Written by Sofia Coppola Based on The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides Starring James Woods Kathleen Turner Kirsten Dunst Josh Hartnett Scott Glenn Michael ParéDanny De Vito Music by Air Cinematography Edward Lachman Edited by James Lyons Melissa Kent Production company American Zoetrope Muse Productions Eternity Pictures Distributed by Paramount Classics Release date May 19, 1999 ( Cannes Film Festival)April 21, 2000 (U.

The ancient copies differed from Jerome's, for from one of them the learned Faustus, a native of Britain, who became Bishop of Riez, in Provence, endeavoured to prove that Christ was not the Son of God till after his baptism; and that he was not of the house of David and tribe of Judah, because, according to the Gospel he cited, the Virgin herself was not of this tribe, but of the tribe of Levi; her father being a priest of the name of Joachim. It was likewise from this Gospel that the sect of the Collyridians, established the worship and offering of manchet bread and cracknels, or fine wafers, as sacrifices to Mary, whom they imagined to have been born of a Virgin, as Christ is related in the Canonical Gospel to have been born of her.

The main one being a lack of sex education at school and at home. Among their various findings, one of the most interesting is that the total number of people who have ever had same-sex sexual contact is 11.5%. That’s more than 1 out of 10 people. To get these results, they analyzed World Health Organization, Center for Disease Control and National Survey of Family Growth data. For the purpose of this study, the definition of virginity loss is whether the respondent had heterosexual vaginal intercourse. With that in mind, the average age of virginity loss for American men is 16.9 years old, and the average age for American women is 17.2 years old.

Interest in sexuality intensifies during the onset of puberty, and sexuality is often a vital aspect of teenagers' lives. [ 1] In humans, sexual interest may be expressed in a number of ways, such as flirting, kissing, masturbation, or having sex with a partner. Sexual interest among adolescents, as among adults, can vary greatly, and is influenced by cultural norms and mores, sex education, as well as comprehensive sexuality education provided, sexual orientation, and social controls such as age of consent laws. [ 2]Sexual activity in general is associated with various risks. The risks of sexual intercourse include unwanted pregnancy and contracting a sexually transmitted infection such as HIV / AIDS, which can be reduced with availability and use of a condom or adopting other safe sex practices. Contraceptives specifically reduce the chance of pregnancy. The risks are higher for young adolescents because their brains are not neurally mature. Several brain regions in the frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex and in the hypothalamus that are deemed important for self-control, delayed gratification, risk analysis, and appreciation are not fully mature.

A free flow of air from the nose or mouth to the lungs and from the lungs to the nose or mouth is vitally important. Therefore, a technique has been developed that allows physicians to determine if there is a medical problem that prevents the lungs from filling with air upon inspiration and releasing air from the body upon expiration. An instrument called a spirometer records the volume of air exchanged during normal breathing and during deep breathing. A spirogram shows the measurements recorded by a spirometer when a person breathes as directed by a technician (Fig. 14.6). Respiratory Volumes Normally when we are relaxed, only a small amount of air moves in and out with each breath. This amount of air, called the tidal volume, is only about 500 ml. It is possible to increase the amount of air inhaled, and therefore the amount exhaled, by deep breathing. The maximum volume of air that can be moved in plus the maximum volume that can be moved out during a single breath is the vital capacity." }, { "docid": "D2987280#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/2899975/respiration-physiology-flash-cards/\nRespiration Physiology", "text": "43 terms vuemk82Respiration Physiology These flashcards cover volume and capacity of respiration.

Although the lung performs other functions, its primary responsibility is to exchange gas. Oxygen and carbon dioxide (CO2) move between air and blood by simple diffusion that is from an area of high to low partial pressure. Ficks Law of diffusion states that the amount of gas that moves across a sheet of tissue is proportional to the area of the sheet but inversely proportional to its thickness. The airways consist of a series of branching tubes which become narrower, shorter, and more numerous as they penetrate deeper into the lung.

Bruce Hecker, director of husbandry at the South Carolina Aquarium in Charleston, S. C., provides an answer that gives new meaning to the expression \"\"half asleep. \"\" Marine mammals such as whales and dolphins spend their entire lives at sea. So how can they sleep and not drown? Observations of bottlenose dolphins in aquariums and zoos, and of whales and dolphins in the wild, show two basic methods of sleeping: they either rest quietly in the water, vertically or horizontally, or sleep while swimming slowly next to another animal. Individual dolphins also enter a deeper form of sleep, mostly at night. It is called logging because in this state, a dolphin resembles a log floating at the water's surface. When marine mammals sleep and swim at once, they are in a state similar to napping. Young whales and dolphins actually rest, eat and sleep while their mother swims, towing them along in her slipstream--a placement called echelon swimming. At these times, the mother will also sleep on the move." } ]

During this month, the average temperature for the island starts off at 26.5°C (created by highs of 29°C and lows of 24°C) and gradually rises up to 27.5°C (highs of 30°C and lows of 25°C) by the end of the month, making the final week in March the best time to visit if you want high temperatures. Although it only happens on an average of once every ten days, temperatures have been known to rise above 31°C and fall below 23°C in St Lucia in March. The highest temperature ever registered during this month on the island is 33°C, whilst the lowest temperature ever registered here at this time of year is 17°C. Because March in St Lucia is fairly cool, compared to the rest of the year, it's a good time for travellers who aren't keen on high temperatures to visit. On the other hand, if you love the sun and want to experience St Lucia at its warmest, you're best off forgetting about March and visiting in August or October, when temperatures are usually at their highest. However, if you do choose to visit St Lucia in March, you'll need to pack plenty of light and airy clothing, suntan cream and an umbrella to protect you from the elements. Rain Throughout the month, St Lucia is subject to an average of 27mm/1 inch of rainfall spread out between 16 wet days – that's almost have the precipitation received in February. Despite the decrease in rainfall, with precipitation occurring on over half the month, there is a very good chance that you'll experience a shower or two during your holiday in March, so consider taking some waterproofs with you if you don't want to be stuck inside. The probability of precipitation making an appearance starts off at 45% on March 1 st, drops down to 43% by March 6 th, rises back up to 45% by March 20 th and falls once again back down to 43% by March 31 st." } ]

Framed by rugged mountains, the city is situated just below the meeting point of the Colorado and Gila rivers. There are no big cities close to Yuma, the nearest being over three hours away. Phoenix is about 175 miles to the east and San Diego California about the same distance away in the opposite direction. Yuma is connected to both by Interstate I-8 which is one of two main arteries running through the city, the other being U. S. Route 95. Having gone under the names of both Colorado City and Arizona City, Yuma was named for the Yuma Indians. The Yumas are actually a composite of three local tribes (the Quechans, Cocopahs, and Mohaves), who according to legend built fires in the belief that rain would come to the area (the native word \"\"uma\"\" translates to \"\"fire\"\"). Yuma today is a large agricultural community and has grown to be one of the state's most important cities.

The island experiences a tropical climate with high temperatures, high humidity, warm sea temperatures and intense rainfall during the wet season. The north-eastern trade winds greatly affect the climate, making the temperatures cooler than other islands in the Caribbean, although still remarkably hot compared to the UK. St Lucia is found close to the equator which results in very little variation in terms of temperature between the spring, summer, autumn and winter season. In fact, St Lucia doesn't really experience four seasons, only two – the dry season and the wet season. The dry season falls between December and June and the wet season falls between July and November. On average, temperatures in St Lucia usually vary between 24°C and 31°C, rarely dropping below 22°C or rising above 32°C. The warm season lasts from mid-August to the end of October, when average daily highs are above 31°C, whilst the cold season lasts from mid-December to mid-March when average daily highs are below 29°C. September 30 th is usually the hottest day of the year, with average highs of 31°C and lows of 26°C, whilst January 23 rd is often the coldest day of the year, with average highs of 29°C and lows of 24°C.

Job Description A pilot's duties start long before he steps into the cockpit. Before a scheduled flight, he makes several important checks. He reviews weather along his route, the plane's condition, the total fuel required for the trip and the weight and distribution of passengers and cargo on the plane. He also files a flight plan before the plane leaves the boarding area. During the flight, he monitors the plane’s instruments, radio communications and uses incoming data to assess and detect issues that might affect the flight. He supervises all the personnel in the aircraft cabin and cockpit. Finally, the pilot communicates with air traffic control to receive and follow directions for landing safely on an assigned runway." } ]

They are based on the years of service with that airline and what seat you are sitting in (Captain or First Officer). Nothing more. You will most likely start out as a flight instructor making about $12,000/year. Next step is the regionals where you start at $20,000/year and top out around $100,000/year after 18 years.

With Health Insurance: $15-$100 Copay Without Health Insurance: $0-$1,200+E-mail Post Tweet Comments (83)Typical costs: Ambulance service typically is covered by health insurance when medically necessary. For example, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama [ 1] offers coverage for medically necessary ambulance transport, to the nearest facility that can treat the patient, on many policies. For patients with health insurance, out-of-pocket costs for ambulance service typically consist of a copay of $15 to $100 or more or coinsurance of 10% to 50%. Some ambulance service providers will \"\"balance bill\"\" -- bill the patient for the remainder of the bill above what the insurance company pays, if they don't have a contract with that insurance company; some states have outlawed this practice. According to Woodburn Ambulance Service in Woodburn, OR, their patients with commercial insurance pay an average of $432 out of pocket. For patients without health insurance, ambulance service cost typically depends on location, whether the trip is for an emergency or scheduled transport, how many miles the patient travels and whether basic life support or advanced life support is needed. The cost can be nothing out-of-pocket in cities where services are covered by taxes, but usually ranges from less than $400 to $1,200 or more plus mileage. For example, in Lima, OH, taxes pay for any ambulance services not covered by insurance, so residents do not receive a bill. The city of Le Mars, IA, charges $375 for non-emergency basic life support service up to $600 for emergency service with advanced life support." } ]

The correct answer is that you never really know. Charges for ambulance transportation vary dramatically across the U. S. and from provider to provider. In Monterey County, California, the average minimum charge for basic life support (BLS) ambulance transportation is $2,206. A few hours away in Mendocino County, the average is just $575.

When faced with a serious medical emergency, especially one that’s life-threatening, you should always call 911, get in an ambulance, and head to the ER. But for many in the United States, this protocol is often repeated in cases of non-medical emergencies. This practice can be problematic – with ambulance and ER costs reaching exorbitant levels.

This includes items and services not covered by Medicare, co-pays and deductibles, even the amount of gas used to get to and from doctor’s appointments. Depending on the total amount you’ve spent over the past year, you might be able to deduct those medical expenses on your taxes. However, you must have an awful lot of medical expenses to take the deduction. “There are a number of requirements that a caregiver must meet to deduct medical expenses for themselves and the person they care for,” says Mark Luscombe, CPA, JD, LLM, principal federal tax analyst at Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting. First and foremost, the person receiving care must meet certain support, income, relationship, citizenship and other tests to be claimed as a dependent by their caregiver. ( You can read more about whether you can claim a loved as a dependent here . )“ Secondly, the medical expenses must be of the type approved by the IRS as qualifying for the medical expense deduction,” Luscombe says. To qualify for the deduction, the total cost of your eligible unreimbursed medical expenses must exceed 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income (AGI). For example, if your AGI is $50,000, then the first $3,750 of medical expenses don’t count." }, { "docid": "D854966#0", "title": "http://www.omaha.com/money/few-think-about-insurance-when-air-ambulance-lifts-off-then/article_11759ecf-182f-59a2-8cde-7c804ecf9913.html\nFew think about insurance when air ambulance lifts off; then ... surprise", "text": "Previous11:30 a.m. Tuesday: Chat about all things Buffett, Berkshire Have a question for Steve Jordon about the Oracle of Omah…Next Up Younkers could close stores at 2 Omaha malls; 356 jobs hang in the balance With large bricks-and-mortar retailers struggling nationa…Few think about insurance when air ambulance lifts off; then ... surprise By Steve Jordon / / World-Herald staff writer Nov 24, 2014 0Buy Now Because of huge costs involved even if health insurance covers some of them, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners has issued a consumer alert to warn about air ambulance costs.

The 49-year-old Lyons, N.

But when Taylor got the bill for that 15-minute flight, it took his breath away — again. “It’s not that I don’t appreciate the service they gave me,” he said. “ But the average citizen can’t afford $8,700 to get to the hospital. ”Eventually, insurance helped foot the bill for Taylor’s flight. But he’s one of the lucky ones. In a country with dwindling health benefits and rising ranks of uninsured, where the rule is to fly first and ask questions later, some patients are finding emergency air flights may save their lives, but also contribute to medical debt they can’t pay. “I know it didn’t cost $8,000 to fly from Bradford, Pa., to Erie,” said Leisa Parris, 46, who, like Taylor, responded to msnbc.com’s Dose of Reality health care series.

( N. B. Volunteer firefighters were mostly pushed out of the big cities in the late 19th century but there are a surprising number who remain in rural areas and small towns; in fact, more in total than career firefighters. The number of volunteers has been roughly constant and almost all of them operate within small towns of less than 25,000. Thus, you can take the above as approximating towns and cities of more than 25,000. ) The decline of demand has created a problem for firefighters. What Fred Mc Chesney wrote some 10 years ago is even more true today: Taxpayers are unlikely to support budget increases for fire departments if they see firemen lolling about the firehouse. So cities have created new, highly visible jobs for their firemen. The Wall Street Journal reported recently, “In Los Angeles, Chicago and Miami, for example, 90% of the emergency calls to firehouses are to accompany ambulances to the scene of auto accidents and other medical emergencies. Elsewhere, to keep their employees busy, fire departments have expanded into neighborhood beautification, gang intervention, substitute-teaching and other downtime pursuits.” In the Illinois township where I live, the fire department drives its trucks to accompany all medical emergency vehicles, then directs traffic around the ambulance—a task which, however valuable, seemingly does not require a hook-and-ladder." }, { "docid": "D3444374#0", "title": "http://www.medicalcareerinfo.com/emt.htm\nEMT - Emergency Medical Technician Career", "text": "EMT - Emergency Medical Technician Career Find Medical Degrees Find schools and get information on the program that’s right for you.

Job stress is common in this medical career because hours of work are irregular and workers often must treat patients in life-or-death situations. Formal training and certification are required for an emergency medical technician career, but State requirements vary. Employment is projected to grow faster than average as paid emergency medical technician positions replace unpaid volunteers. Competition will be greater for jobs in local fire, police, and rescue squad departments than in private ambulance services; opportunities will be best for those who have advanced certification. Peoples lives often depend on the quick reaction and competent care of emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics (EMTs with additional advanced training to perform more difficult prehospital medical procedures).

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

Crocodilians suffer from a prevalence of 'big fish' stories and over-exaggeration. However, there is no doubt that some species of crocodiles can attain extremely large adult sizes. It's no surprise that questions over which is the largest are extremely common, and I'll try to shed some light on the answer. The largest species of crocodile in the world is generally considered to be Crocodylus porosus, the saltwater or estuarine crocodile. In fact, this is the largest living reptile in the world by overall weight. Snake afficionados may argue that there are longer snakes, but none combine both length (over 6 metres) and body mass (well over 1,000 kg) to reach such large overall sizes like the saltwater crocodile can. But there are many arguments, conflicting evidence, tantalising skulls and romantic stories surrounding giant crocs... HATCHLING SALTWATER CROCODILEHow fast do they grow?

Alligators were first harvested in Louisiana in great numbers in the early 1800s. These alligators were harvested for their skins, which were used to make boots, shoes and saddles, and for their oil, which was used to grease steam engines and cotton mills. The demand decreased when the leather made from the skins was thought to not be durable. In the mid 1800s the demand for alligator skins increased again. These skins were used to make shoes and saddles for the Confederate troops during the Civil War. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, commercial tanning processes began in New York, New Jersey and Europe. Because this process made the alligator skins soft, durable and more pliable, the demand for alligator leather increased dramatically. By the mid 1900s Louisiana’s alligator population had been significantly reduced. In 1962 the alligator hunting season was closed statewide due to low numbers." }, { "docid": "D1499143#0", "title": "http://a-z-animals.com/animals/alligator/\nAlligator", "text": "\"Animals >>Alligator Add to Phobia Filter Print Alligator Facts Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Reptilia Order: Crocodilia Family: Alligatoridae Genus: Alligator Scientific Name: Alligator mississippiensis Common Name: Alligator Other Name (s): Gator Group: Reptile Number Of Species: 2Location: southern USA and China Habitat: Marsh and swampland Colour: Green, Grey, Black, Brown, Yellow Skin Type: Scales Size (L): 2.5cm - 4.5m (8ft - 15ft)Weight: 181kg - 363kg (400lbs - 800lbs)Top Speed: 24kph (15mph)Diet: Carnivore Prey: Fish, Snakes, Turtles Predators: Human, Birds, Raccoon Lifestyle: Diurnal/Nocturnal Group Behaviour: Solitary Water Type: Fresh, Brackish Life Span: 30 - 60 years Age Of Sexual Maturity: 10 - 12 years Incubation Period: 2 months Average Clutch Size: 35Name Of Young: Hatchling Age Of Independence: 1- 2 years Conservation Status: Least Concern Estimated Population Size: 1 million/less than 100Biggest Threat: Water pollution Most Distinctive Feature: Muscular tail half the total body length Fun Fact: They have two sets of eyelids!Alligator Classification and Evolution Alligators are in the same family as other large reptiles like Crocodiles but are native to only two countries, which are the southern USA and China (where the Alligator is now nearly extinct). Alligators tend to be smaller than their Crocodile cousins but have been known to move at speeds of up to 15mph on land making them one of the fastest large reptiles in the world. Despite their size, there are a number of distinct differences between Alligators and Crocodiles as an Alligator's snout is shorter than that of a Crocodile, and with their mouths shut, an Alligator's teeth cannot be seen but a Crocodile's can. Alligators are also commonly known as Gators in their native, southern North American habitats. Alligator Anatomy and Appearance Alligators are very large reptiles, with males growing up to 4.5 meters in length. The female Alligator tends to be slightly smaller, with a total body and tail length of between 3 and 3.5 meters. The Chinese Alligator is a much smaller species, almost half the size of a female American Alligator. Alligators have an armour-plated body that varies in colour from yellow, to green, to brown, finally turning almost completely black in old age. The tail of the Alligator is incredibly muscular and is used to propel the animal when it is in the water.

Alligators were first harvested in Louisiana in great numbers in the early 1800s. These alligators were harvested for their skins, which were used to make boots, shoes and saddles, and for their oil, which was used to grease steam engines and cotton mills. The demand decreased when the leather made from the skins was thought to not be durable. In the mid 1800s the demand for alligator skins increased again. These skins were used to make shoes and saddles for the Confederate troops during the Civil War. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, commercial tanning processes began in New York, New Jersey and Europe. Because this process made the alligator skins soft, durable and more pliable, the demand for alligator leather increased dramatically. By the mid 1900s Louisiana’s alligator population had been significantly reduced. In 1962 the alligator hunting season was closed statewide due to low numbers." }, { "docid": "D1502159#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_average_size_of_an_american_crocodile\nWhat is the average size of an American crocodile?", "text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Animal Life Reptiles Care of Reptiles What is the average size of an American crocodile?

Scroll down for video Alligator anatomy: Scientists have found that the penis of the male alligator does not inflate before mating but is constantly fully erect and hidden inside its body This means that the male alligator’s reproductive organs do not change shape or size when aroused, and does not require inflation for mating.

( We should note here that the NCAA separates out Asian-Americans from Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders in its demographic data. ) It's often presented as a given that Asian-Americans are less involved in sports than others in this country, and every few years, someone writes a column about how we might soon see a boom in Asian-American sports stars. ( Take this column by Richard Lapchick on ESPN way back in 2002. ) There's an argument to be made that Asian-Americans don't need to be proportionally represented in basketball." }, { "docid": "D671615#0", "title": "http://www.city-data.com/city/Prospect-Heights-Illinois.html\nProspect Heights, Illinois", "text": "\"Follow city-data.com founder on our Forum or@Lech Mazur Prospect Heights, Illinoisadd your We are giving away $1200 in prizes - enter simply by sending us your own city pictures!

Researchers found that the shortest adults (under 5 feet 3 inches) had a higher risk of having and dying from cardiovascular disease than taller people. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that genes linked to height can increase your risk of heart disease. The increase is, on average, 13.5 percent for every 2.5 inches shorter the person is.

Mortgages and Other Debt Mortgage debt is, by far, the largest debt that most Americans owe. As of the second quarter of 2013, the Federal Reserve reports that mortgage debt represented 71 percent of all consumer debts, with revolving equity lines adding another 5 percent. By comparison, the next largest type of debt, student loans, represented only 9 percent of all consumer debt. Car loans represented 7 percent and credit cards made up 6 percent.

On the other hand, if you have more debt than you can reasonably pay, that’s no reason to panic. You’re in good company. However, it would be a good idea to reexamine your finances and set goals to reduce your debt levels.

May 21, 2012 by Kurt I think the single best measure of your overall financial well being is “net worth. ”I write a lot here about aiming to be debt-free and how to pay off debt. But if your net worth is high, having debt is not necessarily a burden, and may even indicate that you’ve succeeded in using debt as leverage to make money. What Is Net Worth? In words, net worth is:→ The cash you have in the bank PLUS→ The current market value of everything you own (including stocks, your home, a small business, etc. ) MINUS→ All the debts you owe In general, owning, tends to boost your net worth, while owing, tends to lower your net worth. Make your own spreadsheet or just search for “net worth calculator” to get some help calculating your net worth. Why Net Worth Is a Good Measure of Your Financial Health If your net worth is high, that generally shows one or more of these is true: You’ve got a lot of cash You own a lot of financial assets like stocks and bonds You have a lot of equity in your home You own a profitable small business Compared to the value of what you own, you don’t have a lot of debt If a few of the above describe your situation, then you’re prepared to weather a setback like a layoff or illness, you’ve got good capacity to make debt payments (or to borrow money, if needed), and you probably have a good start on a retirement nest egg.

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.

Have you ever been at a point where you couldn’t pay the mortgage or put food on the table for your family? It can be an absolutely soul-crushing experience. In fact, there are some cities in the U.

And, at age 35, they should have it together. Yet research and the media alike paint Generation Y as lost, poor, heavily in debt, apolitical and unemployed. A deeper analysis, however, reveals that such data is often skewed by the inclusion of younger millennials—the youngest of whom are only 10. Upon reviewing dozens of studies, my own findings suggest that older millennials have, in fact, grown up. Despite a mediocre economy, catastrophic education costs and constant ridicule, most 20-somethings are certain that things will get better. If the state of their older cohort is any indication, they may be right. What follows is evidence for optimism: Unsplash1.

Well, it is true. When you total up all forms of debt including government debt, business debt, mortgage debt and consumer debt, we are 59.4 trillion dollars in debt . That is an amount of money so large that it is difficult to describe it with words. For example, if you were alive when Jesus Christ was born and you had spent 80 million dollars every single day since then, you still would not have spent 59.4 trillion dollars by now. And most of this debt has been accumulated in recent decades. If you go back 40 years ago, total debt in America was sitting at about 2.2 trillion dollars . Somehow over the past four decades we have allowed the total amount of debt in the United States to get approximately 27 times larger .

Young adults, a generation scarred by financial turmoil, are demonstrating a fundamental shift in the way Americans approach personal finance. The combination of higher average savings account contributions and lower non-asset building debt indicates that young adults are taking a balanced approach to managing their finances. Whilst young adults may be lower wage earners, those who have initiated savings are doing so aggressively in their 20s and early 30s as the data demonstrates below. The average annual savings account contribution reinforces the notion that young adult savers are more aggressive savers. For young adults, the rate of contributions early in their careers is a promising sign that they are positioning themselves better for retirement than boomers.

However, 2,175 were admitted in 2013 which suggests that either the drop / non completion rate is high, or that Harvard is trying to grow the size of its undergraduate student body.

I’m voting for Barack Obama because he’s brilliant.__Oprah Winfrey, 2008Perhaps no topic has fascinated the HBD blogosphere more deeply than the IQ of President Obama, with some bloggers estimating his IQ might be as ordinary as 116 and others estimating it might be as spectacular as 150. But as many of you know, a few years ago, some actual data was unearthed. Ultra-influential blogger Steve Sailer cited sources claiming that:…during the 1987-88 academic year, ten African-American students from Columbia University applied to law school. Only two earned LSAT scores above the 63rd percentile, and those each had scores in the 94-98th percentile–i.e. scores between 42 and 45 on the 48-point scale then in use (166 to 171 on today’s 180-point scale). The other students earned scores that would have been extremely unlikely to qualify for admission, even considering factors such as affirmative action. Other demographic data from LSAC–including the fact that there were only two 27-year-old African-American students five years out of college that year who achieved scores in that range–further suggest that Obama’s LSAT scores were among the two from Columbia in the 94-98th percentile. But as a responsible journalist, Sailer cautioned: This sounds pretty reasonable, although I haven’t checked the methodology or sources…Of course, there’s a big assumption that Obama wasn’t one of the 63rd percentile or lower applicants, but assuming he was one of the two very bright black applicants from Columbia who applied to any law school doesn’t seem unreasonable. If we assume LSAT takers resemble college graduates intellectually, and thus have a mean IQ of 112.8 and a standard deviation of 13.7 (the distribution for Americans with 16+ years of schooling on the WAIS-III), then we can start assigning Obama some possible IQ scores." }, { "docid": "D1413251#0", "title": "http://intelltheory.com/flynneffect.shtml\n.", "text": "\"Interactive Map Alphabetical Index Time Period Index Hot Topics Map - PDFAbout This Site How to Cite this Site References Contributors Comments The Flynn Effect Originally prepared by: Charles Graham (fall 2001)Revised: Jonathan Plucker (fall 2002)The Flynn Effect deals with the issue of how the general IQ scores of a population change over time.

Here's the latest. Two of the world's most highly regarded scientists in the field of human intelligence, Dr. Arthur Jensen and Dr. Philippe Rushton, now believe they previously OVER-ESTIMATED the average intelligence of American negroes, when they estimated the average American negro IQ to be 85. The reason for this over-estimation was that the tested samples of negroes did not include a sampling of the least intelligent American negroes. And the reason for this sampling omission appears to be, at least partially, the usual: political correctness. It was important to OVER-ESTIMATE the intelligence of American negroes, rather than to determine the truth. ( This is my own conclusion, reading between the lines.) Jensen and Rushton now believe the average IQ of the American negro is probably 78, rather than 85. The average IQ of the American White is 100.

We do not know his actual LSAT score; however, after much research, we found that the average LSAT score for all Harvard students is 171. The percentile rank for an LSAT score of 171 at Harvard is 98.8%. MENSA will accept LSAT scores as a means of qualifying for MENSA membership. ( MENSA also accepts up to 200 various IQ tests and other tests of cognitive function as well.) The LSAT score required for MENSA membership is equal to a percentile of 95% or higher. Thus, basing Obama's estimated LSAT score of 171 ranks him in the top 98.8% (percent/percentile) range which is clearly above the lowest acceptable LSAT percentage rank of 95%, which clearly affirms that Obama has a qualifying intelligence quotient that would allow him acceptance into MENSA. Since MENSA accepts various IQ Tests as well as other cognitive tests to qualify for MENSA membership it is safe to estimate that Obama's IQ Score could range anywhere from a low IQ score of 130 based on the Stanford Binet IQ Test, Revision 5, to a high IQ score of 148 based on the Cattell IQ Test.

Herrnstein and Charles Murray exploring the role of intelligence in American life. The authors became notorious for the book's discussion of race and intelligence in Chapters 13 and 14. Named for the bell-shaped normal distribution of IQ scores, the book cites the rise of a \"\" cognitive elite \"\" having a significantly higher than average chance of succeeding in life. Within both the mainstream media and the scientific community, large numbers of people rallied to both support and criticize the book. Some critics denounced the book and its authors as supporting scientific racism .

[ 1] [2] [3] [4] There are several publishers of tests of cognitive abilities. No two publishers use exactly the same classification labels, which have changed from time to time since the beginning of intelligence testing in the early twentieth century. IQ scores have been derived by two different methods since the advent of cognitive ability tests. The first method historically was the \"\"ratio IQ\"\", based on estimating a \"\"mental age\"\" of the test-taker (rounded to a specified number of years and months), which was then divided by the test-taker's \"\"chronological age\"\" (rounded to a specified number of years and months). For example, a mental age score of thirteen years and zero months for a test-taker with the chronological age ten years and zero months results in a quotient of 1.3 after doing the division. The division result was then multiplied by 100 so that scores could be reported without decimal points. Thus the score in the example would be reported as IQ 130. The current scoring method for all IQ tests is the \"\"deviation IQ\"\". In this method, an IQ score of 100 means that the test-taker's performance on the test is at the median level of performance in the sample of test-takers of about the same age used to norm the test." }, { "docid": "D798730#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_of_health_on_intelligence\nImpact of health on intelligence", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Health can affect intelligence in various ways. Conversely, intelligence can affect health. Health effects on intelligence have been described as being among the most important factors in the origins of human group differences in IQ test scores and other measures of cognitive ability. [ 1] Several factors can lead to significant cognitive impairment, particularly if they occur during pregnancy and childhood when the brain is growing and the blood–brain barrier of the child is less effective. Such impairment may sometimes be permanent, sometimes be partially or wholly compensated for by later growth. Developed nations have implemented several health policies regarding nutrients and toxins known to influence cognitive function. These include laws requiring fortification of certain food products and laws establishing safe levels of pollutants (e.g. lead, mercury, and organochlorides ). Comprehensive policy recommendations targeting reduction of cognitive impairment in children have been proposed.

In his responses to questions, the vocabulary he uses and his demonstrated reasoning-analytical processes show no evidence of capacities that would suggest to me, an IQ above the 115 -130 range (Mean 100, SD 15). That doesn’t mean his IQ isn’t higher, but nothing in his verbal expression suggests a higher IQ to me. In a public forum, some people speak in a more elementary way that masks their true level of intellectual functioning, so this is a possibility in Trump’s case. Listen, for example, to Bill Clinton make a speech for public consumption versus Clinton during a wonky interview. In the latter, he typically demonstrates a more extensive vocabulary and nuanced analytical skills at a level that I’ve never heard during any Trump interview. Perhaps Trump has these abilities, but he hasn’t publicly shown evidence of such abilities in any of the many interviews I’ve heard with Trump over the years. I’ve also noticed that even though he speaks at an elementary level, Trump appears to have difficulty articulating thoughts at a level of coherency that I’d expect of an individual whose IQ falls in the Very Superior range (above 130).

Although Kenny suggested that many of his targets had been circumspect in how they raised these highly controversial ideas, he singled out IQ and the Wealth of Nations, published in 2001 by Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen, as a particularly extreme and hateful example of this trend. These authors explicitly argue that IQ scores for different populations are largely fixed and hereditary, and that these—rather than economic or governmental structures—tend to determine the long-term wealth of a given country. Kenny claimed that such IQ theories were not merely racist and deeply offensive but had also long been debunked by scientific experts—notably the prominent biologist Stephen Jay Gould in his 1980 book The Mismeasure of Man. As Kenny soon discovered from the responses to his online article, he had seriously erred in quoting the authority of Gould, whose fraud on race and brain-size issues, presumably in service to his self-proclaimed Marxist beliefs, last year received further coverage in the New York Times. Science largely runs on the honor system, and once simple statements of fact—in Gould’s case, the physical volume of human skulls—are found to be false, we cannot trust more complex claims made by the particular scholar. Despite Kenny’s obvious lack of familiarity with the technical questions he raised, these issues remain important ones to explore, given today’s globalized world. After all, it is generally acknowledged that some people are smarter than other people, and this almost syllogistically raises the possibility that some peoples may be smarter than other peoples. Most nations prefer material wealth to poverty, and it seems plausible that smarter people might be better at generating the productivity needed to achieve this goal." }, { "docid": "D1970497#0", "title": "http://www.iqtestexperts.com/iq-history.php\nHistory of IQ Tests", "text": "\"IQ Articles> History of IQ Tests History of IQ Tests Technically speaking, the first IQ test was developed by French psychologist, Alfred Binet in 1905. His test has provided the base for all modern IQ tests that are widely used today. However, the interest of scientists and psychologists in intelligence dates back to thousands of years. Though a number of small studies over intelligence were carried out from time to time, it was in 1859 when concrete experiments and studies over the concept of IQ started after the publishing of Charles Darwin's \"\"The Origin of Species\"\". Fascinated by Darwin's theory, Sir Francis Galton, a British scientist, tried to discover the relationship between heredity and human ability. In those times, it was believed that the human race had a small number of geniuses and idiots, while the vast majority was intelligent people. Whatever someone achieved in life depended on their hard work and will-power. Galton was not convinced. He believed that mental traits were based on physical factors. His idea on intelligence was in turn influenced by the work of a Belgian statistician named Lambert Adolphe Jacques Quetelet." }, { "docid": "D2711134#0", "title": "https://www.careerbliss.com/scrum-master/salaries/\n144 Scrum Master Salaries", "text": "\"144 Scrum Master Salaries Scrum Masters earn $95,000 annually on average, or $46 per hour, which is 44% more than the national average for all working Americans.

Given there are about 3500 neurosurgeons in America, Dr. Carson’s job performance is +3.47 standard deviations (SDs) above his occupation’s mean on a normalized curve. Given that IQ and job performance correlate about 0.6 in complex jobs (though this number may have been inflated by range restriction correction), then simple regression predicts Carson’s IQ is 0.6 (3.47 SD) = 2.08 SD above the mean of neurosurgeons. Assuming neurosurgeons are like other doctors, they probably average IQs around 125, with an SD around 11. Thus Carson’s expected IQ would be:2.08 (11) + 125 = 148Of course these stats are based on typical neurosurgeons, and typical neurosurgeons, unlike Dr. Carson, are overwhelmingly non-black. What happens when race is factored in? For as long as IQ tests have existed, blacks Americans have scored about 15 points lower than white Americans. One interesting fact is that (partly because of affirmative action) this same 15 point IQ gap exists even among high achievers.

Though a college education remains the surest path to a middle-class life, evidence has begun to mount that student debt may be far more detrimental to financial futures than once thought, particularly for those with the highest levels of debt: students of color and students from low-income families. This brief attempts to quantify just how much these soaring debt levels impact college-educated households’ financial stability over a lifetime. It creates a model using data from the Federal Reserve Board’s Survey of Consumer Finances and other datasets to estimate household debt and assets, comparing the projected debts and assets of a college-educated household with average levels of education debt to a similar household without debt. It finds that, over a lifetime of employment and saving, $53,000 in education debt leads to a wealth loss of nearly $208,000. We can generalize this result to predict that the $1 trillion in outstanding student loan debt will lead to total lifetime wealth loss of $4 trillion for indebted households, not even accounting for the heavy impact of defaults." }, { "docid": "D89500#0", "title": "http://www.thesimpledollar.com/the-state-of-american-credit-card-debt-in-2015/\nThe State of American Credit Card Debt in 2015", "text": "Americans continue to dig a deeper hole when it comes to credit card debt.

Recently, news broke that Rolling Jubilee, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the eradication of debt, purchased $4 million in private student loan debt and forgave all of it, relieving some 2,000 Americans of that oppressive burden. The group purchased the loans for pennies on the dollar from the notorious for-profit Everest College. And it's only the beginning --according to Rolling Jubilee’s website, they’ve forgiven more than $18.5 million in debt, much of it medical, on only $701,000 raised. Such activism cannot be praised enough. It’s entirely selfless, brings important issues to light and directly aids many Americans. But it can only go so far. The total national debt, both public and private, is a preposterous $60 trillion.

A payday loan (also called a payday advance, salary loan, payroll loan, small dollar loan, short term, or cash advance loan) is a small, short-term unsecured loan, \"\"regardless of whether repayment of loans is linked to a borrower's payday.\"\" [ 1] [2] [3] The loans are also sometimes referred to as \"\" cash advances ,\"\" though that term can also refer to cash provided against a prearranged line of credit such as a credit card. Payday advance loans rely on the consumer having previous payroll and employment records. Legislation regarding payday loans varies widely between different countries, and in federal systems, between different states or provinces. To prevent usury (unreasonable and excessive rates of interest), some jurisdictions limit the annual percentage rate (APR) that any lender, including payday lenders, can charge. Some jurisdictions outlaw payday lending entirely, and some have very few restrictions on payday lenders. In the United States, the rates of these loans used to be restricted in most states by the Uniform Small Loan Laws (USLL), [4] [5] with 36–40% APR generally the norm. There are many different ways to calculate annual percentage rate of a loan. Depending on which method is used, the rate calculated may differ dramatically; e.g., for a $15 charge on a $100 14-day payday loan, it could be (from the borrower's perspective) anywhere from 391% to 3,733%.

Whatever happens, the average American may be worse off than Greece. Here are three ways to look at it: Americans actually have more debt relative to income earned Between its government and its banks, Greece owes 323 billion euros to creditors and its debt-to-income (GDP) ratio is 177%, according to Trading Economics. In other words, Greece owes 1.77 euros for every euro it earns. The average U.

By contrast, the national average interest rate on a U.

How are due dates calculated? The standard calculation is called Nägele’s Rule. This was developed in the 1850’s by a Dr. Nägele, who determined that the average human pregnancy was 266 days from conception, or 280 days (40 weeks) from the start of the last menstrual period. To calculate this, begin with the first day of your last period (LMP). Add 7 days, then subtract 3 months. ( ( LMP + 7 days) - 3 months) = Expected Date of Delivery EX: ( (April 1 + 7 days) - 3 months) = January 8This “rule” doesn’t take into account the fact that many women are uncertain of the date of their last menstrual period, not all women have 28 day cycles, and not all women ovulate on day 14 of their cycle. Another Calculation In 1990, researchers ( Mittendorf, et al) re-examined this issue for modern American women. Results indicated that, for first-time Caucasian moms, an average pregnancy lasts 274 days from conception (approximately 288 days from the last menstrual period).

Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/S0190-9622 (79)70018-1 Get rights and content Abstract The photoprotective role of melanin was evaluated by comparing the transmission of ultraviolet (UV) radiation through skin samples of blacks and Caucasians, using both biologic and spectroscopic techniques. UVA transmission was measured using fluoranthene, which causes a phototoxic response to UVA wavelengths. UVB was measured by monitoring erythema produced by either a 150-watt xenon arc or FS-20 sunlamps. It was found that on the average, five times as much ultraviolet light (UVB and UVA) reaches the upper dermis of Caucasians as reaches that of blacks. Differences in transmission between the stratum corneum of blacks and of Caucasians were far less striking. The main site of UV filtration in Caucasians is the stratum corneum, whereas in blacks it is the malpighian layers. Melanin acts as a neutral density filter, reducing all wavelengths of light equally. The superior photoprotection of black epidermis is due not only to increased melanin content but also to other factors related to packaging and distribution of melanosomes." }, { "docid": "D3305396#0", "title": "https://www.researchgate.net/publication/24430430_Effect_of_tripod_position_on_objective_parameters_of_respiratory_function_in_stable_chronic_obstructive_pulmonary_disease\nEffect of tripod position on objective parameters of respiratory function in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease", "text": "See all ›11 Citations Download citation Share Download full-text PDFEffect of tripod position on objective parameters of respiratory function in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Article (PDF Available) in The Indian journal of chest diseases & allied sciences 51 (2):83-5 · October 2007 with 497 Reads DOI: 10.1378/chest.132.4_Meeting Abstracts.610b · Source: Pub Med Cite this publication Surya P.

Spirometry, maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures (MIP and MEP) generated at the mouth, and diaphragmatic excursion during tidal and vital capacity maneuver breathing measured by B-mode ultrasonography were studied in 13 patients with stable COPD in sitting, supine and tripod positions. Mean +/- SD age of patients was 52.2 +/- 6.8 years. Median disease duration was three years. There was no statistically significant difference in spirometry for sitting, supine and tripod positions (FEV1: 1.11 +/- 0.4L, 1.14 +/- 0.5L and 1.11 +/- 0.4L; p = 0.99), respectively, (FEV1/FVC: 49.2 +/- 11.0, 53.7 +/- 8.5 and 48.5 +/- 11.3, p = 0.37), mouth pressures (MIP: 102.9 +/- 28.9, 90.6 +/- 29.1 and 99.2 +/- 32.9 cm H2O, p = 0.61 and MEP: 100.8 +/- 29.9, 100.4 +/- 34.4 and 90.6 +/- 32.6 cm H2O, p = 0.74) and diaphragmatic movements during tidal (16.1 +/- 5.9, 20.1 +/- 6.8 and 16.6 +/- 6.2 mm, p = 0.22) and forced breathing (33.9 +/- 11.0, 43.1 +/- 19.6 and 37.4 +/- 17.1 mm, p = 0.35).

The measurements are then to be averaged together. This is to account for what may be natural variability in size due to factors such as arousal level, time of day, room temperature, frequency of sexual activity, and unreliability of the measurement methods.

Empirical View Human height is determined by a combination of genetics and environmental factors making it an active area of research in both the sciences and social sciences. Recent breakthroughs in sequencing the human genome have allowed identification of 697 genetic variants that influence the height of an individual. 1 Although genetics plays an important role in understanding variation within a given population, human growth can be limited by poor childhood nutrition and illness. This makes height strongly correlated with living standards and hence a good proxy for them. Changes to heights over time and within countries paints a picture of economic development. One major advantage of using height as a proxy is the availability of data in the pre-statistical period.

Many have nothing, and likely will never have anything. Over 65% of American adults have a net worth under $100,000. In Australia, over 65% of all adults have a net worth exceeding $100,000. The recent 2013 Consumer Financial Literacy Survey shows the financial literacy trends are getting worse: In fact, as in 2011 and 2012, many adults (40% 2013, 42% 2012, 41% 2011) now give themselves a grade of C, D, or F on their knowledge of personal finance, marking a statistically significant change from 2010, when as many as nearly 2 in 3 adults (65%) gave themselves an A or B. Yet when we look at our data, it seems like wealth in America is growing, and recovered or recovering from the Great Recession. The per capita wealth of the average American is over $220,000 (blue line in below graph). This is true capital building, and refutes that the average American is not a good investor. This graph above showed average net worth, but gives no understanding of median wealth (the wealth of the 50th percentile American). Few people are natural born wealth builders. Many watch their parents build or not build wealth." } ]

But the kind of money that the wealthiest one percent of the world's population has dwarfs this concept; they own entire corporations, multi-billion-dollar investment funds, islands in the Caribbean and soon may be able to start buying trips to the moon. The net worth of the richest segment of humanity has mushroomed over the past two decades and now towers further above the net worth of the average citizen than ever before. Demographic Breakdown Although the media has largely portrayed the top 1% as greedy, uncaring Wall Street fat cats, demographic analysis reveals a very different picture. The wealthiest 1% are spread across many industries and come from many backgrounds. They include medical professionals, entrepreneurs and executives as well as those who inherited wealth. They live in many different cities and their incomes range from just under $400,000 a year to the likes of Bill Gates and George Soros. The percentage of their income that comes from capital gains on their investment holdings is about 10 times that of the middle class, and they pay approximately a quarter of the income taxes in America and account for just under a third of all charitable donations. The Widening Gap The Economic Policy Institute reports that the net worth of the top 1% of wealthy Americans has risen substantially over the past 50 years.

The Fed said the average net worth of American households plunged 22.7 percent since the recession began in December 2007 through October, when the report was prepared. The median net worth, or the midpoint between the wealthiest and poorest, fell 17.8 percent. The impact has disproportionately fallen on the wealthiest households and those between the ages of 55 and 64, a Federal Reserve economist said. Net worth tends to peak in that age bracket, as retired Americans begin to spend down their savings. If the value of second homes and businesses are excluded, the Fed said in its report, average household net worth fell 12 percent, which reflects that such assets are \"\"relatively concentrated among wealthier families. \"\" The decline in home prices and stock portfolios in 2008 wiped out gains in net worth from the previous three years, the Fed said. Median household net worth increased 17.7 percent between 2004 and 2007, but fell 3.2 percent from 2004 through last October, according to the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances.

In words, net worth is:→ The cash you have in the bank PLUS→ The current market value of everything you own (including stocks, your home, a small business, etc. ) MINUS→ All the debts you owe In general, owning, tends to boost your net worth, while owing, tends to lower your net worth.

Because the mean simply adds every net worth together and divides by the number of people, individuals with extraordinarily high net worths skew the data upward. The median is a better indicator of the \"\"average\"\" retiree's wealth, and it's easy to understand. The Federal Reserve Board makes a list from smallest to largest net worths and takes the middle number (or the average of the two middle numbers). Similar to a bell curve, the most similar data tends to be in the middle, and that's why the median is a better figure.

The lending is often of a student loan, but debts may be owed to the school if the student has dropped classes and withdrawn from the school. Withdrawing from a school, especially if a low- or no- income student has withdrawn with a failing grade, could deprive the student of the ability of further attendance by disqualifying the student of necessary financial aid. Student loans also differ in many countries in the strict laws regulating renegotiating and bankruptcy. Due payments may be a retroactive penalty for services rendered by the school to the individual, including room and board. As with most other types of debt, student debt may be considered defaulted after a given period of non-response to requests by the school or the lender for information, payment or negotiation. At that point, the debt is turned over to a Student Loan Guarantor or a collection agency. In the United States of America, the “Congress created a rule called the ‘Cohort Default rate’. Annually the Department of Education evaluates the proportions of students who have received student loans and have withdrawn from a college, and have a defaulted on their federal government backed loans.” [ citation needed] If that nonpayment (default) rate is too high, the college will be refused the privilege of having government financial aid available to their students." } ]

What’s more, a third of graduates also have debt from their undergraduate studies, with a median balance of $25,000. If you’re facing the six-figure average med school debt, find out if you can qualify for the following medical school repayment options and loan forgiveness programs for doctors. How to pay the average medical school debt of $189,000 or more It’s fairly common for medical graduates to put their student loans into forbearance while they complete their residency. But by doing so, you can quickly rack up interest and add even more to your medical school debt. Putting the average medical school debt of more than $189,000 into forbearance over three years of residency, for example, adds $36,855 to the outstanding balance (assuming a 6.50% interest rate). That brings the total med school loan balance to $225,855. If you can avoid forbearance or start repaying a portion of your medical school debt, it can help keep interest charges under control. Here are some medical school loan repayment options you can use to manage your debt.

U. S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan today laid out his vision for America’s higher education system of the future. Duncan noted that while more students are graduating college than ever before at our nation’s world-class colleges and universities, for far too many students, the nation’s higher education system isn’t delivering what they need and deserve. America’s students and families need, and the nation’s economic strength will depend on, a higher education system that helps all students succeed. That starts with making college more affordable but goes much further – to focus on whether students are actually graduating in a timely way with a meaningful degree that sets them up for future success. Today, nearly half of all students who begin college do not graduate within six years, and the consequences of taking on debt but never receiving a meaningful degree can be severe. Students who borrow for college but never graduate are three times more likely to default. A stronger focus on outcomes for students means change for everyone – schools, students, states, accreditors, and the federal government. College Is More Important – but More Expensive – Than Ever Before A postsecondary credential has never been more important In today’s economy, higher education is no longer a luxury for the privileged few, but a necessity for individual economic opportunity and America’s competitiveness in the global economy.

While you’d be hard pressed to find disagreement that it’s an issue, there is plenty of disagreement about how bad things really are. On the one hand, it’s easy to find stories chronicling massive default rates (12%), oppressive $800-a-month loan payments and the big one: total outstanding student loan debt now dwarfs total credit card debt. On the other hand, many folks argue persuasively that the problem is not as bad as one might think. A 2014 study by Goldman Sachs, for example, found that former students with $30,000 in debt (about average at the time) were no less likely to buy a home than their debt-free peers. Students with an average college debt load who select 20-year repayment terms end up with monthly payments that are just shy of $300 — a significant amount, surely, but roughly the same as a car payment.

Young adults, a generation scarred by financial turmoil, are demonstrating a fundamental shift in the way Americans approach personal finance. The combination of higher average savings account contributions and lower non-asset building debt indicates that young adults are taking a balanced approach to managing their finances. Whilst young adults may be lower wage earners, those who have initiated savings are doing so aggressively in their 20s and early 30s as the data demonstrates below. The average annual savings account contribution reinforces the notion that young adult savers are more aggressive savers. For young adults, the rate of contributions early in their careers is a promising sign that they are positioning themselves better for retirement than boomers.

For some graduates, this means being having the feeling of being oppressed by student loans; there’s really no other was to describe this feeling. We listened to one graduate tell the harrowing story of how wanted to become an attorney and ended up saddling himself with almost $115,000 in student loans to complete law school and also acquire his J.

Surveying around 16,000 American couples, the Knot 2014 Real Weddings Study also found that 45% of weddings exceed a couple’s budgets and, more worryingly, 23% lack a budget altogether. Most brides spent an average of $1,357 alone on their wedding dress. At the same time, guest lists are shrinking even as costs rise. “ The average wedding now has 136 guests, down from 149 in 2009,” says the Knot’s Rebecca Dolgin. The cheapest place to tie the knot was Utah, where couples spent only $15,000 on the big day in 2014. The most expensive place for nuptials was Manhattan at $76,328.

As summer wedding season ramps up, we wanted to explore how couples across America celebrate their nuptials (and get an idea of how much they spend on their weddings), so we asked wedding planning site The Knot.com to share some findings from their annual survey, The Knot 2013 Real Weddings Study. After all, June, one of the two most popular months to get married in (along with September), is just around the bend. The survey includes responses from 13,000 American brides and grooms who got hitched in 2013.

We asked for data in three categories in each surveyed location across the country: average total wedding cost, average amount brides spent on their wedding dresses, and the average number of guests that attended. The fascinating findings are below. Note: Rather than breaking the data down only state-by-state, The Knot’s figures are, in some states, broken down into even smaller regions like coastal areas or cities.

It’s also more than many Americans earn in a year. How do wedding costs get so out of hand? And what can you do to keep costs down when it’s your turn to tie the knot?

Let’s look at a breakdown of wedding costs before you reach out to a lender (or your parents) for extra cash. Compare personal loan rates for your wedding costs. The Average Wedding Cost by State The average wedding costs $32,641 and average wedding costs are on the rise. In 2015, couples paid an average of 4.6% above what they paid the previous year. If that $32,641 seems like a lot of money, you might be surprised to learn that couples in some states spent much more than that. According to an annual survey published by The Knot, brides and grooms in New York had the biggest financial burdens.

Now comes the part that some consider fun… and most others consider stressful: planning the actual wedding. One of the first and most important parts of planning a wedding is selecting the venue. You might have your ceremony and reception in the same venue, or hold the ceremony in a place of worship and the reception in a separate location — but either way, you’ll want to lock down your location as soon as possible since many popular venues book up months or even years in advance. The average couple spent $14,000 on their wedding venue in 2014, according to the Knot – that accounts for almost half of the average American wedding budget of just over $31,000. For some, that $14,000 was just the price to rent their venue, and as such, they still had to pay for equipment rentals, catering service, alcohol, and a band on top of that. Others likely found that many amenities were included in their venue rental. It depends on what a location offers, so it’s important to do your research. If you’re looking to have an affordable wedding, the venue is one place where you can definitely save a lot of money, as it comprises one of the biggest parts of your budget.

FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a liquid nitrogen fertilizer for organic farming from nitrogen (N) rich organic wastes (for example wastewater sludge, slurry from slaughter houses, etc.) and fowl manures (for example guano, layer, broiler manure, etc.). The waste or manure is being extracted in water, obtaining an aqueous ammonia which is then volatilized, and eventually oxidized to nitrate. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONAs more people consider organic products to be healthier, the practice of organic agriculture is expanding worldwide, accompanied by their high economic potential and environmentally sound practices. In organic farming, where the use of chemicals is prohibited, composts and fowl manures serve as fertilizers, mainly as a nitrogen (N) source. Supplementary N side dressing is needed in organic cropping systems when the available N from soils and composted manures applied annually is inadequate to meet crop requirements. Such conditions prevail in soils that have recently been converted to organic farming or in high-N demanding crops." }, { "docid": "D572107#0", "title": "http://www.greenfacts.org/en/arsenic/index.htm\nArsenic", "text": "\"Home » Arsenic » Level 1Arsenic Context - Arsenic is a poisonous substance, which is released both from certain human activities and naturally from the Earth's crust.

The more accurate term is \"\"acid precipitation\"\". Acid precipitation has a p H of anything below 5.6. What chemicals make rain acidic, and how does it happen? The extra acidity in rain comes from the reaction of air pollutants; primarily sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides, with water in the air to form strong acids (like sulfuric and nitric acid). The main sources of these pollutants are vehicles and industrial and power-generating plants. Where do these chemicals come from? The main local sources are cars, trucks, and buses.

It is part of the \"\"nitrogen cycle\"\" that takes place in most aquariums, and so is one of the first encounters that many aquarists have with their aquariums' chemistry. The marine aquarium hobby is replete with commentary about nitrite, some of which is, unfortunately, incorrect or misleading. Its toxicity in marine systems is far lower than in freshwater systems. Nevertheless, many aquarists incorrectly extrapolate this toxicity to reef aquariums and suggest that any measurable amount of nitrite is a concern. In reality, nitrite probably is not toxic enough to warrant measuring in most marine systems. This article serves to provide a backdrop for that opinion by addressing what nitrite is, where it comes from, where it goes, the mechanisms by which it can be toxic and the evidence for its toxicity (or lack thereof) in typical reef aquariums.

I will explain what p H is and then how to better understand how common toxins like ammonia and nitrite are affected by p H. What is p H (Power of Hydrogen)?p H [Power of Hydrogen] is a measure of how acidic or basic your water is. The p H is measured on a logarithmic scale that ranges from 0.0 (most acidic) to 14.0 (most basic). The neutral point is at 7.0 and you should strive to keep your tank water as close to this as you can. Most tropical fish are happy with a natural p H level. Betta fish p H levels should be between 7.0 to slightly acidic (8.5 at the high end)What Is being Measured When the p H Levels are Tested? When measuring the p H levels we are counting the amount of hydrogen (H+) and hydroxyl ions (OH-) present in the sample. Elevated levels of hydrogen ions (less bonded) – When there is an increases level of hydrogen ions the sample will be more acidic (less than 7.0). Reduced levels of hydrogen ions (more bonded) – When there is less hydrogen ions (H+) and more hydroxyl ions (OH-) present in the sample it will be more basic (greater than 7.0). Neutral levels of hydrogen and hydroxyl ions – When both hydrogen and hydrocyl ions are close to equal the sample will be neutral." }, { "docid": "D2979996#0", "title": "http://www.water.ncsu.edu/watershedss/info/nh3.html\nAmmonia", "text": "Ammonia General Information: Un-ionized ammonia (NH3) is a colorless gas at standard temperature and pressure. A pungent odor is detectable at levels above 50 ppm (NRC, 1979). Ammonia is very soluble in water at low (acidic) p H. Ammonia levels in zero-salinity surface water increase with increasing p H and temperature (see Table 1). At low p H and temperature, ammonia combines with water to produce an ammonium ion (NH4+) and a hydroxide ion (OH-). The ammonium ion is non-toxic and not of concern to organisms. Above a p H of 9, un-ionized ammonia is the predominant species (Morgan et al., 1981). The un-ionized ammonia (NH3) can cross cell membranes more readily at higher p H values. The increased concentration that can enter the aquatic organism heightens the toxic effect (NRC, 1979).

NITRATEWritten by Katherine Barrington Published November 30, 2012Water quality is extremely important in maintaining a saltwater tank. If you let the ammonia, nitrite or nitrate levels in your tank get too high, it could have a negative impact on your fish. If you know anything about maintaining a healthy, thriving saltwater tank you probably know the basics of the nitrogen cycle. The nitrogen cycle is the process through which beneficial bacteria in the tank work to break down ammonia, a by-product of decomposition of waste products, into less harmful substances like nitrite and nitrate. All three of these substances are toxic to fish in high doses which is why it is important for you, as an aquarium hobbyist, to understand how to control them. In order to keep your fish safe from the dangers of high ammonia, nitrite and nitrate you need to understand where these substances come from, what effects they can have on your fish and what you can do to prevent high levels of these substances in your tank. Causes of High Chemical Levels Beneficial bacteria require nutrients in order to thrive and to maintain the nitrogen cycle – those nutrients are derived from the organic waste products that accumulate in the substrate of your aquarium. Some of the organic wastes likely to accumulate in a saltwater tank include uneaten fish food and fish feces along with the occasional dead fish. The more waste that builds up in your tank, the harder your colony of beneficial bacteria will have to work to maintain the nitrogen cycle. The by-products of the nitrogen cycle are ammonia, nitrite and nitrate so it makes sense that, the harder the beneficial bacteria in your tank are working, more of these substances will be produced." }, { "docid": "D2446438#0", "title": "http://www.fishforums.com/forum/beginner-freshwater/1193-new-tank-how-long-before-adding-fish.html\n.", "text": "\"03-03-2005, 11:49 AM # 1 [bt]Fishy Member Join Date: Mar 2005Location: Dorset, UKPosts: 45New tank : how long before adding fish? I've had my new tank for a week now. It's 40 litres and I plan to stock around 8 cardinal or neon tetra. I've researched what sort of gravel to add, which light and filter/pump to add and have now added water. I have the pump running permanently and have the light on for between 8 and 10 hours a day (usually in the mid-afternoon to evening). After 3 days of having the water in, I have these readings: Temp : 21deg C p H : 8 NH3 : 5 NO2 : 0 NO3 : 0 I have done a lot of reading (books, internet, forums) and can find no consensus on roughly how long to leave the tank before adding fish. The booklet I got with my tank and testing kit says 6-8 weeks. Several books say \"\"a few weeks\"\", some internet sites say \"\"about a week\"\" and I've read someone here say \"\"I've added my fish after the usual 3 days new tank settling\"\". So how long should I leave it? Am I waiting for the ammonia and then nitrite peaks?

Quick changes in p H and most other water parameters stress the fish and end up making them sick. Most municipal water systems have a high p H. Extremely low p H can be caused by improperly used carbon dioxide supplementation or other reactive compounds. This can happen if the aquarium does not have a working nitrogen cycle or does not receive regular, partial water changes. Over feeding and over crowding compound the problem.

I am using the Freshwater Master Testing Kit made by API. Remember to test both your tap and tank water! A lot of people have ammonia, nitrite, or nitrate in their tap water, so it's important to test that too. Ammonia and nitrite should always be zero in a cycled aquarium, and you'll need to remove nitrates by doing regular water changes, although if you have a heavily planted aquarium, the plants may remove some of the nitrates.

We measure p H on a scale of 0 (pure acid) to 14 (pure alkaline solution). Distilled water is neutral and has a p H of 7. Each unit in the p H scale represents a 10 fold change in acidity. Some substances, when dissolved in water, produce charged molecules called ions.

A freshwater aquarium with plants and tropical fish A 20,000-gallon (76,000 L) tropical reef aquarium stands along the wall behind the reception counters at The Mirage in Las Vegas, Nevada. An aquarium (plural: aquariums or aquaria) is a vivarium of any size having at least one transparent side in which aquatic plants or animals are kept and displayed. Fishkeepers use aquaria to keep fish, invertebrates, amphibians, aquatic reptiles such as turtles, and aquatic plants. The term \"\"aquarium\"\", coined by English naturalist Philip Henry Gosse, combines the Latin root aqua, meaning water, with the suffix -arium, meaning \"\"a place for relating to\"\". [ 1] The aquarium principle was fully developed in 1850 by the chemist Robert Warington, who explained that plants added to water in a container would give off enough oxygen to support animals, so long as the numbers of animals did not grow too large. [ 2] The aquarium craze was launched in early Victorian England by Gosse, who created and stocked the first public aquarium at the London Zoo in 1853, and published the first manual, The Aquarium: An Unveiling of the Wonders of the Deep Sea in 1854.

Despite this fact, life in Costa Rica is generally less expensive than an equivalent lifestyle in the United States, Canada or Europe, as many expatriates will happily attest. Monthly Budget Those expats interested in simple living should budget $1500 or less monthly. Generally, this budget allows for bus rides and the occasional taxi, big trips to the farmers' market and a few restaurant meals each month. Others choose to retire or live in relative luxury, employing full-time housekeepers, commuting by car, enjoying exquisite homes and consuming imported goods. In the Central Valley, such lifestyles can easily amount to $3000 or more monthly. Housing Rents in rural areas and select urban areas hover around $300-$600 for a well-furnished apartment or small home. At this price, renters can expect Costa Rican-style amenities, which may include line-drying laundry and bathrooms equipped with electric shower heads. A lavish three-bedroom home near San Jose complete with granite countertops, Jacuzzi bathtubs and hot water heater starts at approximately $1500 monthly, and can cost much more.

It also depends on where you are and what the local litter prices are. A 15-pound (7 kg) bin of clumping litter will last a single indoor cat about 4 - 5 weeks. If you can find non-clumping litter, and if you clean it, and turn it over completely every day (so as to break up the wet spots and slow the bacterial action), 7kg should last a single indoor cat about 6 to 8 weeks. An outdoor cat will urinate outdoors by preference, to mark his territory. 7kg of litter may last an outdoor cat as long as 4 to 6 months, but it still must be cleaned daily, and turned over completely, in case he chooses to urinate indoors.1 person found this useful Was this answer useful?

Despite this fact, life in Costa Rica is generally less expensive than an equivalent lifestyle in the United States, Canada or Europe, as many expatriates will happily attest. Monthly Budget Those expats interested in simple living should budget $1500 or less monthly. Generally, this budget allows for bus rides and the occasional taxi, big trips to the farmers' market and a few restaurant meals each month. Others choose to retire or live in relative luxury, employing full-time housekeepers, commuting by car, enjoying exquisite homes and consuming imported goods. In the Central Valley, such lifestyles can easily amount to $3000 or more monthly. Housing Rents in rural areas and select urban areas hover around $300-$600 for a well-furnished apartment or small home. At this price, renters can expect Costa Rican-style amenities, which may include line-drying laundry and bathrooms equipped with electric shower heads. A lavish three-bedroom home near San Jose complete with granite countertops, Jacuzzi bathtubs and hot water heater starts at approximately $1500 monthly, and can cost much more.

I am the sole wage earner, (I used to make a 6-figure salary but changed my priorities in life and now earn close to minimum wage) as my wife does not have a work permit yet. Except for the first month where we had to buy a lot of staples (spices, flour, sugar, etc. ), we have so far spent about $450 per month on groceries. We live frugally but consider ourselves \"\"foodies\"\" and we cook a lot at home, so in order to spend our money wisely, we buy only high quality food, sometimes organic when on sale, a lot of fruits and vegetables, never any red meat except lamb once in a long while. We also avoid any processed food, and have started to make our own cream cheese, rice or almond or soy milk, as well as bread (using homemade yeast). Money is admittedly tight, but we eat better than most people who earn twice as much as we do.source: What does the average family spend a month on food in calgary?

It effectively shows the difference between where people stood before and during the Great Recession, and how people’s finances have changed since then. With this information, demographers have created a fairly comprehensive picture of the Great Recession’s economic impact on the debt load of American households. Debt and Minorities A 2001 survey by the Journal of Finance and Accountancy found that 27 percent of the 7,579 respondents carried credit card balances. The survey found only minor differences between races. About 28 percent of white respondents carried balances, similar to the 25 percent of Hispanics, 24 percent of blacks and 24 percent of Asians. A similar survey of 2008 data delivered more detail about the amount of debt people were likely to carry as well as their typical assets: 87 percent of white households had assets, the highest of any race studied.

But if you don’t use them responsibly, you can find yourself in credit card debt. How often does this happen? Well, it’s not easy to establish the average American credit card debt, as the information that is typically gathered is based on card balances, which is different than debt. After all, some consumers pay their balances in full each month while others make the minimum payment due on each statement. And averages are just that — averages — which means consumers who have very high balances can significantly skew the numbers. That said, Experian, one of the three main credit bureaus, reports that the typical consumer in America has an average of 2.35 credit cards as of 2016. ( Note: These are only bank credit cards and do not include retail credit cards.) And with those cards, Experian found that the average balance on bank cards in America in 2016 is $5,551.

S. economy. Interest rates are the economic fuel that drives credit card companies. It allows them to almost casually extend loans every day to the 175 million Americans who own at least one credit card. Interest rates are also the price consumers pay for the privilege of borrowing money — with certain spending limits — and make purchases whenever the mood strikes them. The two can be a dangerous mix. Credit card companies make a sizeable amount of money off the interest on unpaid balances. Visa, the largest credit card company, had a 43% profit margin on sales revenue of $12.7 billion in 2014. Master Card, the next biggest credit card company, had profit margins of 38% on $3.6 billion in net income. Those profit margins are twice the average of the rest of the financial services industry.

Credit card debt is ballooning, leaving American households with a net increase of $57.1 billion in new credit card debt in 2014, according to a new survey from Card Hub. The credit card comparison site said it's forecasting new credit card debt will rise 5 percent in 2015, reaching $60 billion this year. While the increased spending could signal that Americans are feeling more sanguine about their prospects and the economy, it's also a cause for concern given that most workers aren't seeing the type of wage growth that would support that higher spending. The surge has left the average household credit card balance at almost $7,200, or not far from the $8,300 level that Card Hub considers unsustainable.

Well, it is true. When you total up all forms of debt including government debt, business debt, mortgage debt and consumer debt, we are 59.4 trillion dollars in debt . That is an amount of money so large that it is difficult to describe it with words. For example, if you were alive when Jesus Christ was born and you had spent 80 million dollars every single day since then, you still would not have spent 59.4 trillion dollars by now. And most of this debt has been accumulated in recent decades. If you go back 40 years ago, total debt in America was sitting at about 2.2 trillion dollars . Somehow over the past four decades we have allowed the total amount of debt in the United States to get approximately 27 times larger .

Your Wallet Will Suffer If This Agency Is Gutted The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has saved Americans $12 billion, but many businesses and congressional conservatives want to eliminate it. By Brad Wolverton March 14, 2017If you care about your personal finances, be warned: There’s a battle brewing in Washington that will reach your wallet. The new Congress and the Trump administration are taking aim at a young federal bureau that arguably has done as much to change the financial lives of consumers as any other government agency in history. Most every American who has a credit card or mortgage or bank account or personal or student loan, or who cares about their credit rating, has benefited in some way from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The agency says some 29 million of them, o r about 1 of every 8 adults, are receiving direct financial relief — money returned to them — as a result of its work since it opened in 2011. Collectively, for every $1 in federal spending on the agency, more than $4 has been placed back in consumers’ pockets, a review by Nerd Wallet found. The agency has saved or returned to Americans $12 billion, while costing taxpayers $2.9 billion to operate over that period. Other improvements, felt by virtually all consumers, have come in the form of lower costs, a more stable economy and new power to resolve individual disputes with financial institutions.“" }, { "docid": "D191156#0", "title": "http://www.creditcards.com/credit-card-news/average-credit_card_debt-1276.php\nCredit card debt statistics", "text": "\"Credit Cards · Credit Card News · Credit card debt statistics Credit card debt statistics By Jamie Gonzalez and Tamara E.

If you don’t pay in full, you’ll end up carrying a balance and start racking up interest charges, meaning anything you buy on credit could end up costing more than the price you originally paid. And you wouldn’t be alone: in the United States, the average household has over $16,000 in credit card debt. Credit card debt overview Every time you make a purchase with your credit card, you incur a debt. At the end of the billing cycle, if you haven’t paid the full amount on time, that debt will start to accrue interest. According to data from the U. S. Census Bureau and the Federal Reserve, American households owe on average a staggering $16,425 in credit card debt, and that amount has risen 10 percent since 2013. Collectively, we owe nearly $1 trillion in credit card debt, on which we pay an average interest rate of 18.76 percent, or about $1,292 per household each year. In May 2017, it was found that credit card debt had risen 6 percent from the previous year and reached an average high that hadn’t been seen since the Great Recession. Nevertheless, more than 60 percent of American households pay off their credit cards every month or don’t have one at all.

But one thing is clear: Americans are carrying a lot of debt, especially millennials, according to Gallup analysis. Perhaps the most surprising finding from Gallup's analysis is just how few Americans account for that mountain of consumer debt. For example, three out of four U. S. adults (76%) report that they have at least one credit card, but, on average, Americans have 3.4 of them. The percentage of Americans who have credit cards is lowest among millennials (65%) and highest among traditionalists (85%), with Gen Xers (78%) and baby boomers (83%) in between. Though 76% of U. S. adults report having at least one credit card, just under half of Americans (48%) carry credit card debt, with fewer traditionalists (32%) and more Gen Xers (61%) carrying credit card debt. The Generation X finding isn't surprising, given that they are in their prime child-rearing years and that they have more cards than any other group (4.5). About two in 10 Americans (19%) report having student loan debt, with 35% of millennials and 25% of Gen Xers saying they do. Gen Xers hold the largest average student loan balances with over $30,000 outstanding.

As you can see in the following chart, the pace of growth in student loan debt significantly outstrips the growth in debt for revolving credit, which is primarily made up of credit cards. Importantly, since overtaking credit cards in 2010, only mortgages serve as a bigger burden on borrowers than student loans. How do you stack up?

This most commonly means credit card debt, but can also refer to items like personal loans and medical debt. Unsecured debt creates less stress and fewer problems for consumers because they don’t stand to lose an asset if they don’t repay the debt. If you fall behind on payments for unsecured debts, your lenders have no claim on your property and cannot repossess items or foreclose on your home. That’s the big difference between unsecured and secured debt. Unsecured debt also what allows you to explore debt-relief options such as debt management, debt consolidation and debt settlement to help you clear your debt faster and for less money. Credit Card Debt Credit card debt is the most pervasive type of unsecured debt, and it’s on the rise again. Americans topped $1 trillion on their cards at the start of 2017, the highest it’s been since the Great Recession in 2008. It is a revolving line of credit, meaning you can continue to borrow each month and carry balances over.

The last time Gallup asked this question was 1987, in which the average amount spent per week on food was $108. Over 20 years later, that number has climbed to $151. To give some perspective, in 1943 an average of $15 was spent on food per week (not adjusted for inflation). Interestingly enough, Americans used to spend more on food in the 1960s, with an all-time high at $234 in 1966 and 1967. The chart below illustrates that spending does vary significantly among respondents, with eight percent of the respondents spending less than $50 per week on food and 10 percent spending $300 or more. Other similar surveys have found that Americans spend about ten percent of their income on food (as of 2009) while a 2012 NPR survey found that percentage to be a bit higher. Gallup also found that 77 percent of Americans ate at home the day before the survey, 10 percent at a restaurant, six percent at someone else’s home, two percent at work or school and one percent somewhere else. Four percent did not eat dinner. So far, the company found that “concerns about food prices do not appear to be affecting consumer spending in general yet." } ]

It also depends on where you are and what the local litter prices are. A 15-pound (7 kg) bin of clumping litter will last a single indoor cat about 4 - 5 weeks. If you can find non-clumping litter, and if you clean it, and turn it over completely every day (so as to break up the wet spots and slow the bacterial action), 7kg should last a single indoor cat about 6 to 8 weeks. An outdoor cat will urinate outdoors by preference, to mark his territory. 7kg of litter may last an outdoor cat as long as 4 to 6 months, but it still must be cleaned daily, and turned over completely, in case he chooses to urinate indoors.1 person found this useful Was this answer useful?

The answer will vary widely from person to person. Some people can go months without ever buying new clothes, and some people love to shop and could spend thousands per month.

Elizabeth Renter & Diamond Richardson March 28, 2017 Save Insurance, Life Insurance One new parent’s essential might be another new parent’s luxury item, but make no mistake — whether you’re scraping by or living comfortably, you’ll likely feel the pinch of parenthood. And though much has been said about the cost of having a baby and the cost of raising a child to adulthood, a new study suggests that many first-time parents aren’t financially prepared for that crucial first year, no matter how much money they make. Nerd Wallet analyzed the expenses of a baby’s first year in two hypothetical households — one with a $40,000 annual income and one with a $200,000 income — to illustrate how families with different resources might navigate these potential costs. We chose the $40,000 income level to represent a lower-income family that wouldn’t qualify for substantial government assistance. In the $200,000 household, we included the costs of life insurance for both parents, in-home nanny care and the recommended amount of annual college savings, but assumed the $40,000 household might not be able to devote money to these expenses. For both sample households, we considered expenses including food, housing, transportation, diapers, health care costs, and a baby checklist of necessary items. To find out how closely these estimates aligned with American expectations, we compared our findings with the results of a nationally representative survey, which included parents, nonparents, those currently pregnant or expecting to have a child in the next three years and those not currently expecting to have a child within three years. This survey was conducted online by Harris Poll on behalf of Nerd Wallet in February 2017. These potential expenses could alarm expectant parents, but every family spends differently during a baby’s first year." }, { "docid": "D1095824#0", "title": "https://www.stageoflife.com/StageRaisingaFamily/OtherResources/Statistics_About_Raising_a_Family.aspx\nDid You Know: Raising a Family", "text": "\"Did You Know: Raising a Family Statistics about Raising a Family and Parents Stage of Life has statistics about raising a family and parents.

The paper measures the total government benefits and services received by unlawful immigrant households and the total taxes paid. The difference between benefits received and taxes paid represents the total resources transferred by government on behalf of unlawful immigrants from the rest of society. Key Takeaways There are approximately 3.7 million unlawful immigrant households in the U. S. These households impose a net fiscal burden of around $54.5 billion per year. Amnesty for unlawful immigrants can pose large fiscal costs for U. S. taxpayers including public education, welfare benefits, and other benefits and services.

Learn More!The Happiness Spending Threshold And What It Really Means To Live Within Your Means May 31, 2017 07:00 am 20 Comments CATEGORY: General Planning287Shares A A A287Shares Executive Summary“Try to ‘live within your means’” is a staple of prudent financial advice – recognizing that not everyone earns the same income (“means”), and therefore not everyone can afford to spend the same. It prescribes that rather than trying to keep up with the Joneses – and their lifestyle spending – you should live within your means, instead. Yet the challenge is that as income rises, living “within” your means can produce what is, to most other people, an outsized and larger-than-life standard of living. In other words, while it might seem like prudent advice for those who are of struggling means – and therefore, must constrain their spending down to their income means – those who lift their spending up to live within their (much greater) means may be viewed with disdain. A case-in-point example is a recent article that profiled a high-income young couple with two children living in New York City, who felt that they were living “paycheck to paycheck” on their $500,000/year salary, even as they lived in a $1.5 million home, drove a BMW 5-series and a Toyota Land Cruiser, and took three $6,000/year vacations. Yet relative to their income – in trying to live within their means – the couple was actually spending 40% less on housing that the typical US household, 50% less on food, and 75% less on their cars (high-end though they were). In other words, relative to their means, this affluent couple was arguably doing a better job of “living within their means” than most. Which raises the question of whether “live within your means” is actually the right advice for anyone – regardless of income – or if the reality is that the strategy breaks down as a prudent spending recommendation at some point. Especially given the research suggesting that there is a “happiness threshold” – beyond about $75,000 of income (and associated spending within its means), more income and spending doesn’t appear to actually improve our emotional well-being." }, { "docid": "D743066#0", "title": "https://www.valuepenguin.com/average-household-budget\nAverage Household Budget", "text": "Average Household Budget Most U.

The ballooning price tag, a 3 percent increase from a year earlier, comes at a time when day-care costs can exceed university tuitions and homes prices have skyrocketed to record highs.

Lower-income families are likely to spend $212,300 per child through age 17, while higher-income families will spend more than double that, or about $454,770, according to the report. Families in rural areas, meanwhile, are likely to spend 24 percent less than their counterparts in urban areas in the Northeast. “People tend to buy what they can afford — and with higher incomes, people are likely to spend more on their children,” said Stephen Fuller, an economist and professor of public policy at George Mason University.

In general, it’s the aging process, and the various “key dates” that occur as a Canadian moves from adolescence to adulthood that tend to be the most celebrated and ritualized moments in mainstream Canadian culture, with each important date home to its own rich array of customs. Canadian traditions also tend to be closely tied to the country’s various holidays, which are discussed in more detail in that chapter. It should similarly be noted that since Canada is a country of considerable diversity born from the eclectic immigrant heritage of its people, the traditions of individual Canadian families can vary greatly based on which customs they’ve decided to import from their former homeland. Patryk Kosmider/Shutterstock Baby Colours No one knows why, but light blue is the traditional baby boy colour in Canada while pink is the traditional colour for baby girls. Births Canadian couples will generally announce their pregnancy with great pride to friends and family as soon as they’re aware, and it’s common for girlfriends of the expecting mother to organize a baby shower – a small, lighthearted house party – to honour the new mom sometime before she gives birth. Shortly after the child is born, it’s similarly customary for friends of the parents to visit and give at least one baby gift, usually a toy or clothes, to express congratulations. When it comes to naming baby, it’s a relatively common (but by no means universal) Canadian tradition for children to be given names from within the family. A son might be named after his father or uncle, for instance; a daughter for her sister or grandmother. Middle names, which most Canadians have, are very often chosen this way." }, { "docid": "D1353365#0", "title": "https://www.bustle.com/articles/31413-the-8-rules-of-what-to-wear-to-a-wedding\nThe 8 Rules of What to Wear to a Wedding", "text": "\"The 8 Rules of What to Wear to a Wedding By Julia Friedman July 17 2014WPA Pool/Getty Images News/Getty Images Last year, The Knot.com (part of XO Group Inc.) surveyed approximately 13,000 American brides and grooms who were married in 2013.

As for whether or not the amount you're giving is acceptable, well, that really depends on you and your relationship to the couple." }, { "docid": "D3537931#0", "title": "https://budgeting.thenest.com/much-money-bridesmaids-expected-pay-23384.html\nHow Much Money Are Bridesmaids Expected to Pay?", "text": "\"One part of young adulthood for many women is bridesmaid duty. It can be an enjoyable role, but it does come with several financial responsibilities. According to a 2010 \"\"Real Weddings\"\" Survey, the average bridesmaid spent about $1,600 of her own money on the ceremony. The total out-of-pocket will vary based on the expectations of the bride and other bridesmaids. The Dress In many cases, the bride chooses the style of dress for her bridesmaids. According to Mint.com in June 2011, that would set the average bridesmaid back about $150. The Emily Post Institute suggests bridesmaids honestly discuss any concerns they have about the cost of the dress with the bride. Doing so gives the bride the option to choose another bridesmaid, pick a different dress, or offer to contribute to the cost of the dress. Travel Costs You won't have to worry too much about travel costs if the wedding is held in your town. However, if it's someplace else, such as the hometown of the bride, you will have to factor in some travel expenses." }, { "docid": "D2789025#0", "title": "https://blog.zola.com/2015/07/14/guest-etiquette-much-spend-wedding-gift/\nGuest Etiquette: How Much to Spend on a Wedding Gift", "text": "Featured, Registry Published on July 14, 2015Guest Etiquette: How Much to Spend on a Wedding Giftwritten by The Zola Team Here at Zola, we take a lot of calls from wedding guests who are struggling to choose that perfect gift for a happy couple.

Here’s your full guide to how much you should spend on the gift. I’m a coworker, acquaintance, or distant relative, how much should I spend? You should aim to spend around $50. While there is no set rule for how much any guest should spend on a gift, we like to give this guideline based on average spending habits of guests. If I’m a close friend or relative of the bride or groom, how much should I spend? We suggest aiming for a present in the $100-$150 range or more.

Possibly because of the expense of actually getting to the wedding, Americans plan to spend less on their gifts for the bride and groom, paying $106 for a wedding gift this year (down from $109 in 2014) and, if the recipient is a family member, the average gift costs $142 (still down from $150 in 2014).

But how can you figure out what you can afford to spend on your wedding day if these figures seem unrealistic? The following is basic breakdown of what percentage of your budget goes toward what part of your wedding day – we’ve made this wedding budget calculator to make it easier for you. Just sit down and figure out together – what can we afford to save/borrow/spend for our wedding day. The items with a * next to them are those that we have identified that you can actually take away from the day – meaning they last longer than the wedding day itself. This may alter your view of their costs. You might see an item that doesn’t seem to have enough of a budget next to it than you would like – that is fine, and presents you with 2 options. Either you a) save more to add to your budget, or b) cut money elsewhere where you don’t feel you need to spend so much or can compromise on a cheaper alternative. Putting each of the wedding costs into perspective and understanding what the value of them is to you can truly help you to make informed wedding budget decisions. The best way to do this is for bride and groom to sit down separately and list from top to bottom, what is most important to you on your wedding day, then come back and compare lists or create a combined one using compromise where your views don’t match." }, { "docid": "D3506947#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081210102503AAfK5UA\nWhat's the average amount you spend on a bridal shower gift?", "text": "Family & Relationships Weddings What's the average amount you spend on a bridal shower gift?

These smaller composite suppliers can be very local and likely will be small and privately owned -- traditionally the types of businesses that do not necessarily report financial information to any agency other than the IRS. This is in sharp contrast to larger industries, comprised on many public companies which are required to file with the SEC making it much easier to find information.

With a booming wedding industry, I sometimes wonder how it’s even possible that our country is in a recession at all. Now that the average cost of a wedding hovers around $30,000, you’d think that the spending induced by weddings could single-handedly pull our country out of its economic troubles (then love really could conquer all).

Here are four instances where taxes may affect your wedding—for better or for worse.

Alcohol (ethanol) is a clear, volatile liquid that burns (oxidizes) easily. It has a slight, characteristic odor and is very soluble in water.

Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant and it is the central nervous system which is the bodily system that is most severely affected by alcohol (see chart below). The degree to which the central nervous system function is impaired is directly proportional to the concentration of alcohol in the blood 2.

Hormones are as old as the hills, and probably evolved when life on Earth was nothing but cells bobbing in the primordial seas. The special organs in human bodies that make hormones—including ovaries and testicles—came much later. What are typical female hormone levels? When you say “raging hormones,” most people think about those awkward teenage years—complete with sprouting hair, inconveniently timed periods, and zits. This makes sense since it’s during the change from childhood to adulthood that the ovaries start making the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone in large amounts. ( By the way, “large amounts” of a hormone are actually very tiny amounts, since we measure hormones in our blood in billionths or trillionths of a gram. ) For the average female between ages 15 and 40 who isn’t using hormonal birth control, here’s what the sex hormones estradiol (a type of estrogen) and progesterone do each day of a menstrual cycle.

Full Answer People who weigh less generally carry less blood. Body fat percentage is a major factor in blood volume, as fat contains less blood than muscle; thus, if two people have the same weight, the person who has more fat would actually have a lower blood volume even if he appears to be larger. Gender affects body fat composition in ways that are not entirely known, although sex hormones play a role.

Members of this family include ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, and others. This introduction discusses the physical, chemical, and physiological aspects of the most commonly ingested of these - ethanol. Alcohol (ethanol) is a clear, volatile liquid that burns (oxidizes) easily. It has a slight, characteristic odor and is very soluble in water. Alcohol is an organic compound composed of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen; its chemical formula is C2H5OH. Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant and it is the central nervous system which is the bodily system that is most severely affected by alcohol (see chart below). The degree to which the central nervous system function is impaired is directly proportional to the concentration of alcohol in the blood 2. When ingested, alcohol passes from the stomach into the small intestine, where it is rapidly absorbed into the blood and distributed throughout the body. Because it is distributed so quickly and thoroughly the alcohol can affect the central nervous system even in small concentrations." }, { "docid": "D283015#0", "title": "https://chriskresser.com/shaking-up-the-salt-myth-the-human-need-for-salt/\nShaking up the Salt Myth: The Human Need for Salt", "text": "Shaking up the Salt Myth: The Human Need for Salton April 13, 2012 by Chris Kresser 213 comments Facebook 426 Tweet Pin 5 Google+i Stock.com/Jultud In the first part of my series on salt, I discussed the historical significance of salt and its role in the evolution of humanity. Salt has been a highly prized substance for thousands of years across all cultures and continents. Yet over the past few decades, excess salt and sodium intake has been blamed for a variety of serious health conditions plaguing our country, such as heart disease, hypertension, and stroke. Much debate has centered around determining the level of dietary salt required to maintain optimal health, but over the years the suggested upper limit has continued to shrink. According to the CDC, the average intake of sodium for American adults is about 3,300 mg of sodium a day, which is well above the standard recommendations. ( 1) The USDA urges Americans to consume less than 2,300 mg of sodium per day, and the American Heart Association (AHA) has an even more strict guideline of consuming less than 1,500 mg a day for general health and disease prevention. ( 2 , 3)It has been theorized that dietary salt consumption was extremely low in the Paleolithic diet – approximately 768 mg of sodium daily – and that inland hunter-gatherers added little or no salt to their food on a regular basis. ( 4) We know these hunter-gatherer diets did not lead to the chronic, Western diseases we see today. The question is, does low salt intake by our distant ancestors mean that adding salt to our food is necessarily harmful? Should we adhere to the AHA sodium guidelines of 1,500 mg or less per day?" }, { "docid": "D3367970#0", "title": "http://www.nutrientsreview.com/alcohol/absorption-metabolism-elimination-factors.html\nAlcohol Absorption, Metabolism and Elimination Rate", "text": "\"Home / Alcohol / Alcohol Absorption, Metabolism and Elimination Rate Alcohol Absorption, Metabolism and Elimination Rate Terms Explanation ABV% abv (percent of a lcohol b y v olume) is the volume percent of alcohol in an alcoholic beverage. A “Standard Drink”In the United States and Canada, one standard drink contains about 14 grams of alcohol, which is 0.6 fl. oz or 18 milliliters of pure alcohol [1]. One standard drink is:12 oz (355 m L) of 5% beer8 oz (240 m L) of 7.5% malt liquor5 oz (150 m L) of 12% wine3.5 oz (105 m L) of 17% fortified wine2.5 oz (75 m L) of 24% liqueur1.5 oz (45 m L), a jigger or a “shot” of 80 proof (40%) distilled alcohols (gin, rum, vodka, tequila, whiskey)One 12 oz can of 5% beer contains about the same amount of alcohol as one jigger of 40% whiskey, so it is misleading to say that beer contains less alcohol than whiskey. Picture 1. Examples of a standard drink Picture 2. A standard drink in various countries [2]Alcohol Absorption When you drink alcohol on an empty stomach, about 20% of it will be absorbed in the stomach and about 80% in the small intestine [3]. Minute amounts can be absorbed in the mouth [3]. Ethanol does not need to be digested (broken down) in order to be absorbed [8]. Alcohol absorption rate increases with: Alcohol percent of an alcoholic beverage, but only up to about 30% abv. Factors that stimulate stomach emptying: Drugs: erythromycin, ranitidine [35]Gastric bypass surgery [4]Alcohol absorption rate decreases with: Factors that slow stomach emptying: food, drugs, such as narcotics and aspirin [5], sugar and fat in alcoholic beverages. Alcohol Absorption After Inhalation Inhaling alcohol from the air in bars and alcohol-producing factories does not likely result in intoxicating levels of alcohol in the blood [8] . In one study, participants after inhaling alcohol from the alcohol-saturated air, had their maximal blood alcohol concentrations below 0.005 g/100 m L blood and no intoxication symptoms [6]. Inhaling concentrated alcohol vapor through a nebulizer device AWOL (Alcohol With Out Liquid) may result in intoxicating blood alcohol levels [7]. Alcohol Absorption Through the Skin and Mouth Absorption of alcohol through the intact skin in an adult, for example, by using alcohol hand sanitizers [8,9] or by submerging the feet in alcoholic beverages [10], does not result in intoxicating blood alcohol levels. Theoretically, using large amount of alcohol to disinfect an injured skin in a child could result in intoxication blood alcohol levels [9]. Rinsing the mouth with alcohol-containing mouthwash does not likely result in intoxicating blood alcohol levels [9].

They use solid ingredients to meet the needs of the animal and to contribute to the long life and happiness of the dog, and they try to avoid the addition of unhealthy fillers. The ingredients used in these dog food products are a healthy mix of chicken meal, healthy grains and chicken fat. There are no starchy fillers like flour or brewer’s rice, although corn gluten meal does make an appearance further down the ingredient list. The addition of anchovy oil for Omega fatty acids is a pleasant benefit. For a decent amount of protein, fat and healthy oils and minerals, we believe this dog food deserves an above average rating. The Word on the Street... The reviews of Royal Canin Dog Food are generally average. While breed specific dog foods are difficult to distinguish between, an analysis of the ingredient quality shows little differentiation between Royal Canin Dog Food and other dry dog food varieties.

Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The Committee was charged with examining the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010 to determine topics for which new scientific evidence was likely to be available with the potential to inform the next edition of the Guidelines and to place its primary emphasis on the development of food-based recommendations that are of public health importance for Americans ages 2 years and older published since the last DGAC deliberations. The 2015 DGAC’s work was guided by two fundamental realities. First, about half of all American adults—117 million individuals—have one or more preventable, chronic diseases, and about two-thirds of U. S. adults—nearly 155 million individuals—are overweight or obese. These conditions have been highly prevalent for more than two decades. Poor dietary patterns, overconsumption of calories, and physical inactivity directly contribute to these disorders. Second, individual nutrition and physical activity behaviors and other health-related lifestyle behaviors are strongly influenced by personal, social, organizational, and environmental contexts and systems. Positive changes in individual diet and physical activity behaviors, and in the environmental contexts and systems that affect them, could substantially improve health outcomes. Recognizing these realities, the Committee developed a conceptual model based on socio-ecological frameworks to guide its work (see Part B. Chapter 1: Introduction) and organized its evidence review to examine current status and trends in food and nutrient intakes, dietary patterns and health outcomes, individual lifestyle behavior change, food and physical activity environments and settings, and food sustainability and safety.

Purpose Sodium is possibly the most important mineral in the body. It plays a major role in controlling the distribution of fluids, maintaining blood pressure and blood volume, creating an electrical gradient that allows nerve transmission and muscle contraction to occur, maintaining the mechanisms that allow wastes to leave cells, and regulating the acidity (p H) of the blood. Many different organ working together, including the kidneys, endocrine glands, and brain, tightly control the level of Na+ in the body. Researchers estimate that between 20% and 40% of an adult’s resting energy use goes toward regulating sodium.

Nearly one-third of adults are obese, that is, they have a body mass index (BMI ) of 30 or greater. One of the fastest growing segments of the population is that with a BMI ≥ 30 with accompanying comorbidities. Over the last two decades, the prevalence of overweight among children and adolescents has increased substantially; it is estimated that as many as 16 percent of children and adolescents are overweight, representing a doubling of the rate among children and tripling of the rate among adolescents. A high prevalence of overweight and obesity is of great public health concern because excess body fat leads to a higher risk for premature death, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, stroke, gall bladder disease, respiratory dysfunction, gout, osteoarthritis, and certain kinds of cancers. Ideally, the goal for adults is to achieve and maintain a body weight that optimizes their health. However, for obese adults, even modest weight loss (e.g., 10 pounds) has health benefits, and the prevention of further weight gain is very important. For overweight children and adolescents, the goal is to slow the rate of weight gain while achieving normal growth and development. Maintaining a healthy weight throughout childhood may reduce the risk of becoming an overweight or obese adult. Eating fewer calories while increasing physical activity are the keys to controlling body weight." }, { "docid": "D3384907#0", "title": "http://www.weightlossjumpstart.net/calories-in-a-gram-of-protein/\nHow Many Calories In A Gram Of Protein?", "text": "How Many Calories In A Gram Of Protein?

The real fat hero in most nuts is mono-unsaturated fats. Walnuts are actually a rich source of omega-3s. One ounce provides almost 3g of alpha-linolenic acid.2 Ginger Used for centuries to help relieve digestive upset/disturbances, ginger can also help reduce inflammation, boost blood flow to muscles and aid muscle recovery. It has also has been shown to boost calorie burn when eaten.3 Oatmeal This very slow-digesting carb keeps blood sugar and insulin levels low, so fat burning can stay high. In fact, research has shown that athletes who consume slow-digesting carbs in the morning burn more fat throughout the entire day and during workouts than those consuming fast-digesting carbs.4 Avocado The mono-unsaturated fats found in avocados are burned readily for fuel during exercise and actually encourage fat burning. Avocados also contain a very interesting carb called mannoheptulose, a sugar that actually blunts insulin release and enhances calcium absorption, both of which are critical for encouraging fat loss.5 Salmon This fish is one of the richest sources of the omega-3 essential fats EPA and DHA. Unlike flaxseeds, which provide a type of omega-3 that has to be converted into EPA and DHA, salmon provides your body a direct supply of them with no conversion required. This way you know you're getting a direct supply of the fats that turn on fat burning and block fat storage.6 Soybeans (Edamame)Soybeans are the direct origin of soy protein, which has been shown to build muscle as efficiently as other forms of protein like whey and beef." }, { "docid": "D91759#0", "title": "http://www.nutrition-charts.com/pizza-hut-nutrition-information/\nPizza Hut Nutrition Facts & Calorie Information", "text": "Home > Pizza > Pizza Hut Nutrition Facts & Calorie Information Pizza Hut Nutrition Facts & Calorie Information A Nutrition Guide to the Pizza Hut Menu for Healthy Eating One of the top restaurant franchises by sales, Pizza Hut operates over 11,000 locations worldwide.

At the turn of the twentieth century most Americans were farmers or came from farm families, and almost half of the U. S. population still lived on farms. The number of farms was almost six million, and still growing, and the amount of land in agriculture was still growing too, mainly through expansion in the west. The expansion of agricultural land and farm numbers continued well into the 1900s, but by mid-century both trends had been reversed." }, { "docid": "D1687313#0", "title": "http://www.ebri.org/publications/books/index.cfm?fa=fund04\n.", "text": "\"Home Publications Books Fundamentals Chapter 4 - Pension Plans The first pension plan in the United States was established in 1759 to benefit widows and children of Presbyterian ministers. But it was more than a century later, in 1875, before the American Express Company established a formal corporate plan (Allen, et al., 1992). During the next century, some 400 plans were established, primarily in the railroad, banking, and public utility industries. The most significant growth has occurred since the mid 1940s. In 1992, private pension plans numbered more than 708,000 and covered more than 45 million active participants (Employee Benefit Research Institute, 1995). The statutory tax treatment of pensions was formally legislated through the Revenue Act of 1921, which exempted interest income of stock bonus and profit-sharing plans from current taxation and deferred tax to employees until distribution. Statutes enacted since 1921 have permitted employers to deduct a reasonable amount in excess of the amount necessary to fund current pension liabilities (1928); made pension trusts irrevocable (1938); and established nondiscriminatory eligibility rules for pension coverage, contributions, and benefits (1942). These provisions were incorporated into the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) of 1954 and, along with major modifications made by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (TRA ’86), constitute the basic rules governing the tax qualification of pension plans. 1The tax treatment accorded qualified plans provides incentives both for employers to establish such plans and for employees to participate in them." }, { "docid": "D2338145#0", "title": "https://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/10/10731.phtml\n.", "text": "\"Goto [ Index ]The first thing one will notice when they walk into their friendly neighborhood gaming store and walk past the shelf full of GURPS related material is that there are two shiny new additions, they look different from the rest of the works on the shelf.

You might think that open-minded people who review the evidence should be able to agree on whether homework really does help. If so, you’d be wrong. “ Researchers have been far from unanimous in their assessments of the strengths and weaknesses of homework as an instructional technique,” according to an article published in the Journal of Educational Psychology . “ The conclusions of more than a dozen reviews of the homework literature conducted between 1960 and 1989 varied greatly. Their assessments ranged from homework having positive effects, no effects, or complex effects to the suggestion that the research was too sparse or poorly conducted to allow trustworthy conclusions.” [ 1]When you think about it, any number of issues could complicate the picture and make it more or less likely that homework would appear to be beneficial in a given study: What kind of homework are we talking about?

Cellulose is converted by either enzymes or acid hydrolysis. Nova Laboratories produces special enzymes called \"\"Cellulast\"\" and \"\"Cellobiase 250L\"\" for conversion of cellulose to fermentable glucose. Other manufacturers make similar products. The acid process involves either strong acid and relatively low temperatures, or weak acid and high temperatures.

Usually pattern hair loss starts slowly, and continues to get progressively worse. Progressive pattern hair loss is a common occurrence among men, and less apparent but still quite common among women. While men typically suffer pattern baldness with receding hairlines and bald spots on the crown of the head, women typically experience generalized thinning hair over the entire top of the head. And as we age, the occurrence and degree of hair loss increases. A wide range of factors other than genetics can result in hair loss, and many of these conditions are temporary and can be effectively treated by a dermatologist. Diffuse non-scarring loss is usually androgenetic alopecia in men and women but can include telogen effluvium, and systemic diseases such as thyroid, iron deficiency, dermatomitis. Patchy scarring loss can be due to follimlites (bacterial infection of the hairs), lichen planolaris and discird lupus. Patchy non-scarring alopecia can be due to ringworm, trichotillomania, traction alopecia, and syphilis. Hair loss causes that are not based on genetics are discussed in this chapter, including the following: Autoimmune disorders Diseases Nutritional deficiencies Poisons Prescription drugs Chemotherapy drugs Radiation exposure Stress Physical trauma to the scalp Hair loss following childbirth Psychological Hair styling techniques Hair styling products Autoimmune Disorders Autoimmune disease occurs when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks itself." }, { "docid": "D3457158#0", "title": "http://highered.mheducation.com/sites/0072396881/student_view0/chapter8/chapter_summary.html\nChapter Summary", "text": "\"Financial and Managerial Accounting: The Basis for Business Decisions, 12/e Jan R.

Discuss the advantages and shortcomings of each method. By the specific identification method, the actual costs of the specific units sold are transferred from inventory to the cost of goods sold.

However, the method becomes cumbersome and may produce misleading results if the inventory consists of homogeneous items. The remaining three methods are flow assumptions, which should be applied only to an inventory of homogeneous items. By the average-cost method, the average cost of all units in the inventory is computed and used in recording the cost of goods sold.

However, Texas child support guidelines have a cap on the amount of monthly income on which a parent must pay child support. On September 1, 2013, the maximum amount of monthly net resources from which child support can be calculated rose from $7500 per month to $8550 per month. The 2013 increased cap on the maximum guideline Texas child support payment started on September 1, 2013 for everyone meeting the higher income requirements, even those who already had a divorce decree or a court order about child support. Please be aware there is no across the board increase in child support! The September 1, 2013 child support increase only applies to payers whose gross monthly resources (income from all sources) is between $10,340.50 per month ($124,086 annually) and $11,828.81 ($141,945.72 annually) or more. The Texas 2013 maximum child support amount went up on September 1, 2013 from $1500 per month for one child to $1710; from $1875 for two children to $2137.50; and from $2,250 for three children to $2,565 unless there are other children to be considered (see the multifamily table below). Neither the Texas Attorney General nor the family court will automatically increase the amount of child support on or after September 1, 2013 if the payer's income is high enough to meet the new cap (although the AG's office does review child support at least every three years in each family so the state will review it sooner or later). In other words, to actually get paid the higher max child support, the parent who receives child support must bring the increased payment responsibility to the attention of the paying parent for his or her voluntary agreement to start paying more, or to the Texas Attorney General for action if the paying parent will not cooperate. The 2013 maximum child support cap increase is not retroactive in the sense that it would cause maximum child support payments made in the past to increase resulting in an arrearage." }, { "docid": "D70524#0", "title": "https://www.irs.gov/publications/p17/ch24.html\nPublication 17 (2017), Your Federal Income Tax", "text": "\"Publication 17 (2017), Your Federal Income Tax For Individuals For use in preparing 2017 Returns Publication 17 - Introductory Material All material in this publication may be reprinted freely.

When it’s done right, life insurance is one of the best ways to ensure your family’s financial security. But it’s often sold by companies and insurance agents who don’t have your best interests at heart, which all too often ends with you paying too much for the wrong type of coverage. But it doesn’t have to be like that. Life insurance can be very simple, and most of the time it can provide a lot of protection without much cost. And make no mistake, if you have kids you almost certainly need some amount of life insurance.

Answer from Green Energy Efficient Homes The average electricity consumption for a family of four will vary considerably depending on where you live. And the consumption of individual households can be quite far from that average. As I explain in my About me page, my family of four got our household use down to 180 kilowatt hours a month which is about one sixth the average of my home province of Ontario. In Costa Rica where I lived for a year, most families used almost no electricity – enough for a couple of lightbulbs, a semi-automatic clothes washer doing the wash once a week, and maybe a table top fan for very hot days. Many people in smaller towns didn’t even own a refrigerator. Prices were high enough that people there couldn’t really afford to use much more. All told, the average Costa Rican family probably used 2 kilowatt hours a day or less – or 60 kilowatt hours a month." } ]

Follow 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: It depends on where you are, how many sun hours are available. Sun hours are the number of hours that equals the standard test condition that panels are rated at. This number changes throughout the year with the seasons, but you can find an annual average and use that number. A nice average is 5 hours. 5k W x 5 sun hours = 25kwh (kilowatt hours). Generally, there's about a 30% loss in a grid-tied system, between wire losses, inefficiencies, less than ideal sun, dirt on the panels, etc. so you can realistically expect 17.5kwh a day, 525kwh a month, or 6300kwh a year.

This principle was explained in Germany's 2000 Renewable Energy Sources Act: The compensation rates ... have been determined by means of scientific studies, subject to the provision that the rates identified should make it possible for an installation – when managed efficiently – to be operated cost-effectively, based on the use of state-of-the-art technology and depending on the renewable energy sources naturally available in a given geographical environment.—" }, { "docid": "D2571527#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-peak_electricity\nElectricity pricing", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Off-peak electricity)navigation search This article needs additional citations for verification.

There are many reasons that account for these differences in price. The price of power generation depends largely on the type and market price of the fuel used, government subsidies, government and industry regulation and local weather patterns.

Prices for any single class of electricity customer can vary by time-of-day or by the capacity or nature of the supply circuit (e.g., 5 k W, 12 k W, 18 k W, 24 k W are typical in some of the large developed countries); for industrial customers, single-phase vs. 3-phase, etc. If a specific market allows real-time dynamic pricing, a more recent option typically following the introduction of electronic metering, prices can even vary between times of low and high electricity demand. The actual electricity rate (cost per unit of electricity) that a customer pays can be dependent on total usage, particularly for small customers (e.g. residential users).

There are many factors that need to be considered when answering this question. These are discussed in the following sections and we provide some recommendations at the end. LED Light Efficiency Excluding natural lighting, LEDs are the most efficient form of lighting today. You can now buy LED bulbs that are very similar to traditional 60 Watt bulbs in terms of appearance and lumens (brightness) however they only use about 10-15% of the electricity. When choosing LEDs you should decide whether you want bright or soft lighting and if you want the bulbs to be dimmable make sure the labelling indicates that they are because not all LEDs are dimmable. Existing Lights Many people have already replaced their inefficient incandescent with compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs, those are the ones with the curled up tubes that have been popular for the past decade or more. CFLs are about 4x more efficient than incandescent bulbs so for about 13 watts you can get the same amount of light as is shed by a 60 watt incandescent bulb. Halogens are also common and these are not very efficient using generally between 50 watts and 100 watts.

Canada had plans to expand its nuclear capacity over the next decade by building two more new reactors, but these have been deferred. For many years Canada has been a leader in nuclear research and technology, exporting reactor systems developed in Canada as well as a high proportion of the world supply of radioisotopes used in medical diagnosis and cancer therapy. Canada generated some 670 TWh in 2015, of which 101 TWh (15%) was from nuclear power, compared with 380 TWh (57%) from hydro, 66 TWh from coal and 67 TWh from gas. Annual electricity use is about 15,500 k Wh per person, one of the highest levels in the world. Net exports in 2015 were 60 TWh, to the USA. Total generating capacity in 2015 was 148 GWe, more than half of this being hydro. According to a study by the Canadian Energy Research Institute, 1 Canada’s nuclear reactors contribute C$6.6 billion per year to GDP, create C$1.5 billion in government revenue and generate some C$1.2 billion in exports. The nuclear power industry employs 21,000 directly, 10,000 indirectly as contractors and is responsible for another 40,000 jobs indirectly.

( ROBERT MAXWELL)By Jennifer Stewart Mon., April 25, 2011When Claudette Trepanier made a few small changes in her daily routine to take advantage of off-peak hydro hours, she was able to shave $1, 200 a year from her hydro bill. To encourage people like Trepanier, who lives in Ottawa, to use off-peak hours, when electricity is in low demand and cheaper, the Ontario Government introduced Smart Meters which track how much electricity households use and at what times. This weekend (May 1) the government rolled back the start of off-peak use to 7p.m. at night. until 7.a.m. so more people can take advantage of the savings. Weekends are also considered off-peak hours.

Owing to the large increase in these electricity initiatives, the amount of the Global Adjustment has continued to increase despite the hourly price in Ontario remaining low. This has and continues to cause confusion in the electricity marketplace among various classes of consumers. GLOBAL ADJUSTMENT INITIATIVESThe Global Adjustment, formerly known as the Provincial Benefit, was introduced into Ontario's electricity program in January 2005 to ensure reliable, sustainable and diverse supply of power at stable, competitive prices. Global Adjustment (GA) dollars fund three categories of electricity initiatives: (i) regulated rates set by the Ontario Energy Board for Ontario Power Generation Inc. (OPG) nuclear and base load hydroelectric generation; (ii) fixed payments to existing generators that have contracts with the Ontario Electricity Financial Corporation; and (iii) fixed payments to new generators and parties providing conservation and demand management that have contracts with the Ontario Power Authority. CALCULATING THE GLOBAL ADJUSTMENT CHARGEThe province wide GA amount paid in Ontario is correlated to the difference between the per kilowatt hour (k Wh) fixed price for regulated and contracted generators and the actual market price for electricity. As a result, the GA may either be a charge or a credit to electricity consumers depending on the market price relative to the fixed price to generators. If the market price is lower than the fixed price, then the consumer will be charged for the difference. While not determinative, in general terms the lower the market price, the higher the GA charge. If the market price is higher than the fixed price, then the consumer may receive a credit for the difference." }, { "docid": "D2253503#0", "title": "http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/livestock/dairy/facts/info_rumnov2012.htm\n", "text": "Print Share Summary of Ontario 2011 Dairy Farm Income and Expenses Some Ontario dairy farms net $1,400 more per cow or $6.85 more per hectolitre per year compared with other dairy farms.

Driving an electric vehicle (EV) means you won't have to visit the gas station very often, or at all. You can charge your car conveniently at home or at a growing number of charging stations at Ontario malls, restaurants, hotels and workplaces. Your EV can be plugged right into a standard household or workplace outlet to charge, also known as Level 1 (110V, 15amps) charging. It can take up to 8-20 hours to fully charge an EV at Level 1. Level 2 charging stations use a 240 volt system (similar to a clothes dryer plug) and can fully charge a vehicle from 0 per cent charge in about four to six hours. If you are the owner of an electric vehicle registered and plated in Ontario, you are eligible for a rebate on a Level 2 charging station. Level 3 charging stations (also known as Direct Current Fast Chargers or DCFC) use a 480 volt system and can charge a vehicle to 80 per cent in about 30 minutes.

Amanda Radke 1 | Nov 14, 2013Yesterday was my 26th birthday, and lucky gal that I am, my husband Tyler bought me a trailer load of bred cows for my big day. I was too tired for dinner and a movie anyway, after spending my birthday tearing down and replacing fence in some old lots we have in order to get them winterized for these spring-calving cows. While we worked, Tyler was calculating numbers in his head -- how many extra tons of hay we’ll need, how early our first cows will be calving, and how many days we have left to finish up our projects before the snow flies. As we crunch the numbers and double-check our feed resources to make sure we have enough hay to feed our cows through the winter, there are a few important factors to think about.

When they do receive grain, the certified organic feed is made from nutritious grains and oilseeds and fortified with kelp, vitamins and minerals. Beef cattle do not have the same need for protein as dairy cows do, and can be maintained on grass hay. Grass-fed cattle grow more slowly than grain-fed cattle, and are often marketed when 2-4 years old. Grain supplements can increase the growth rate, allowing cattle to be marketed earlier. Nevertheless, organic beef producers focus on forage and use grain sparingly. Grain is generally used by organic farmers to increase the growth rates of young calves, to initiate flushing, to provide nourishment during late gestation and early lactation, and for finishing. At all times, cattle need access to forage (hay, pasture or silage), salt and minerals. Feeding beef calves Ensure that the calf begins to nurse within a couple of hours after birth. If a cow dies during calving or does not have enough milk for multiple calves, try to graft the orphan calf onto a high-producing cow." }, { "docid": "D2141117#0", "title": "http://www.fodderking.com.au/dairy.html\n.", "text": "\"Lucerne Hay for Dairy Cattle Use Fodder King High Quality Lucerne Hay In AUSTRALIA (1994/5) the average milk production per cow for the year was 4481 litres***in stark contrast the USA average in 1994 was 7101 litres** and Japan was 6541 litres** of milk per cow for the year.....

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.

MSU Extension suggests using corn residue, a readily available resource in the southern half of the lower-peninsula that can be economically grazed or mechanically harvested. When hay is in short supply or high priced, corn stover quickly becomes an economical beef cow feed. Our first option would be to graze corn residue once grain is harvested. General rule of thumb for grazing corn stover:30-35 days /acre/cow (assuming 150 bushel corn)Seasonal and weather conditions may limit forage quality and availability Feed quality declines every day cows are on corn stover Supplemental feeding may be necessary to maximize utilization Limitations include fence, water, location, soil compaction, climate, etc. Spilled grain piles must be scattered or removed to avoid acidosis and risk of bloat Mechanically harvesting corn stover: In 2008, an applied research project in Ionia County unveiled the economics of corn stover baling. The objective was to harvest the maximum amount of plant leaf, husk and cob while leaving the bottom third of the stalk in the field. A combine with roller knife head effectively cuts the stalk at the designated height allowing the top two-thirds of the plant to be raked and baled. The chaff spreader was removed from the combine so the cob and husk material could be windrowed.

In reality, 85 to 95 percent of the cows in the United States are now being raised in confinement, not on pasture. The grass they eat comes in the form of hay, and the ground that they stand on is a blend of dirt and manure. The reason for confining cows in feedlots and feeding them grain rather than grass is that they produce far more milk under these unnatural conditions. If you also inject them with bi-weekly hormones, standard practice in the dairy industry, they produce even more. Milk them three times a day instead of two and you have the tried and true formula for today’s Super Producers. On average, cows raised in confinement produce more than three times as much milk as the family cow of days gone by and 15 times the amount required to raise a healthy calf. But with so much emphasis on quantity, the nutritional content of our milk has suffered. One of the biggest losses has been in its CLA content.

Good dairy rations provide the \"\"right\"\" amounts of nutrients to the \"\"right\"\" cow at the \"\"right\"\" time. Forages are the foundation upon which Ohio dairy rations are built.

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." }, { "docid": "D2676563#0", "title": "http://www.extension.umn.edu/agriculture/dairy/forages/grass-hay-makes-milk-too/\nGrass hay makes milk too", "text": "Extension > Agriculture > Dairy Extension > Forages > Grass hay makes milk too Grass hay makes milk too Paul R.

Did you know that America’s number one export is … garbage? Edward Humes, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of twelve books (and a former Austinite), examines this and other disquieting facts about American trash culture— literal trash culture, not the other kind—in his new book, Garbology: Our Dirty Love Affair With Trash. Americans, while making up only five percent of the world’s population, produce almost a quarter of its garbage, much of which ends up in landfills and the ocean. Humes took some time to talk to State Impact Texas about why the United States produces so much waste, and why he thinks it just doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Q: So how much trash do Americans produce in a given day? A: Well, it turns out that this is not an easy number to come by. In fact, the “ national trash bible ” – the publication that the EPA puts out to examine our municipal – is really badly outdated. Research done by Columbia University and a trade journal called Bio Cycle shows that we produce, per day, 7.1 pounds of trash for every man, woman, and child in the country. And that compares not-favorably with the rest of the world – the average Japanese person produces about 2.5 pounds of trash." }, { "docid": "D1224343#0", "title": "http://www.burnthefat.com/how_to_lose_a_pound_of_fat_per_day.html\n.", "text": "\"How To Lose A Pound Of Fat Per Day (Yes, Per DAY, Not Per WEEK)By Tom Venuto, author of Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle Can you lose a pound of fat per day?

Yeah, I know what you’re thinking (especially if you’re a regular Burn the Fat Blog or Tom Venuto reader), but don’t get yer britches in a bunch just yet, just read the post first…Obviously, if we were talking about weight and not body fat, we could all agree that you could actually lose MORE than a pound in a day - with ease!I’ve cut 8 pounds overnight to make a weight class in the past (in already ripped condition no less), and I have wrestler friends who have cut twice that or more. But that’s not fat loss, that’s primarily dehydration. It’s also very transient – like I said, “overnight” (and \"\"overnight\"\" describes how fast it comes back on too! ) Weight loss and fat loss are not the same thing.

In fact, the rule of thumb for apartment dwellers is to budget at least $200 per month for utilities. 1Considering the average consumer will spend 7% of their annual income on energy, 2 it’s important to know where all of that money’s going. Let’s take a look at what you should be paying for your utilities—and we’ll show you how you can trim your energy costs along the way. Heating and cooling: Why is it the biggest utility expense? According to the US Department of Energy, the typical US family spends at least $2,200 per year on energy bills 3 —with nearly half of that paying for heating and cooling. 4This might seem like a large chunk of change, but these costs all depend on where you live, the size of your house or apartment, and (most importantly) whether you make smart decisions about conserving energy. A bigger house often means a bigger bill Let’s start with size. For apartments, the median size in multifamily units is 1,074 square feet. 5 A smaller apartment—if it has modern windows and is properly insulated —will cost less than a large home to keep warm during the winter and cool in the summer." }, { "docid": "D284629#0", "title": "https://www.saveonenergy.com/land-of-waste/\n.", "text": "Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on Google+The average American tosses 4.4 pounds of trash every single day.

Most common litter offenders- Men between 18-34 years Smokers People who eat at Fast Food places at least 2x per week Drives more than 50 miles/day People who go out for entertainment at least 1x per week Where does Litter Come From? Household trash leftover or spillover over from garbage collection Dumpsters used by business Loading docks Construction and demolition sites Trucks with uncovered loads- that we know, it’s all over the freeway (40%)Pedestrians People in Cars. Why People Litter Lazy Don’t Care Litter begets Litter Ignorance No sense of pride Lack of Consequence for their actions From American The Beautiful: Litter is also expensive.

Bermuda's cost of living is also one of the highest in the world. Which means, you will end up spending a lot more than what you think. World Bank economists have estimated that overall living cost in Bermuda is near four times that of US, three times of UK and two times of Canada. A World Bank study in May 2014 revealed that Bermuda is the 3rd most expensive country in the world behind Switzerland and Norway. So you got to earn a lot more in Bermuda to enjoy the same lifestyle or living standard. While many of the Recruitment Agencies talk about enticements like there is no income tax, wealth tax and other direct taxes in Bermuda, the fact is you will actually end up paying about 20% of your gross salary in indirect and some direct taxes. Read Bermuda Taxes & Duties to understand the various tax implication while living in Bermuda. If you are coming to Bermuda to work and live as an expatriate, you should negotiate the Job Terms & Conditions properly with your employer to make your salary more meaningful.

For trash pick-up and cleaning you can expect to pay as low as $60 if you have services from Tiger but they only pick up once a week. Electricity in the range of $100-$125 a month, water another $60, heating etc will add to the overall utility bill. John Rogerson. Was this answer helpful?

Studies show that attending high-quality early education can result in children building a solid foundation for achieving the academic, health, and social outcomes that are of benefit to individual families and to the country as a whole. Children who attend these programs are more likely to do well in school, find good jobs, and succeed in their careers than those who don't. And research has shown that taxpayers receive a high average return on investments in high-quality early childhood education, with savings in areas like improved educational outcomes, increased labor productivity, and a reduction in crime. Yet, preschool teachers are paid less than mail order clerks, tree trimmers and pest control workers. Child care workers make less than hairdressers and janitors. In fact, most early childhood educators earn so little that they qualify for public benefits, including for the very programs they teach targeting low-income families. [ i ]\"\"Undervaluing nation's early childhood educators flies in the face of what we know about brain development and the optimal time for learning. Educating children before kindergarten requires significant knowledge, expertise, and skill—especially in light of the critical importance of the early years for children's growth, development, and future academic and life success,\"\" said U. S. Education Secretary John B. King Jr. \"\"This report is a call to action for all of us. \"\" Report Shines Light on Gaps The U. S. Departments of Education and Health and Human Services released a report today that shines a spotlight on the gap in pay for early education teachers—97 percent of whom are women—and the impact that inequity has on schools' ability to attract and retain experienced, high-quality staff with higher levels of education." }, { "docid": "D2828722#0", "title": "http://www.city-data.com/city/Luttrell-Tennessee.html\nLuttrell, Tennessee", "text": "Follow city-data.com founder on our Forum or@Lech Mazur Luttrell, Tennesseeadd your We are giving away $1200 in prizes - enter simply by sending us your own city pictures!

And, while some years hail storms are more severe than others, hail damage always presents a dilemma for car owners: It is usually cosmetic -- but they see the damage every time they approach their cars. Many decide to live with dings. Others file comprehensive insurance claims only to find out the cost of repair doesn’t reach the amount of their deductibles. Some might find that seemingly minimal damage is enough to cause their insurers to total out their cars. Should you fix your car? Should you keep a hail-damaged car that’s been totaled?

By Kathryn Hawkins In most cases, your insurance deductible refers to the dollar value you'll pay out of pocket before your insurance company covers the rest of the money for a claim. For example, if you have a $500 auto insurance deductible, that's the amount you'll be expected to pay if you're found to be at fault in a car accident before your insurer will cover the remainder of costs for the claim. But when it comes to homeowner's insurance, it's not always quite that simple. Homeowner's insurance policies can have three different types of deductibles: The typical dollar-value flat rate) deductible. A percentage-based deductible that is based on the insured value of your home. A split deductible, which uses a dollar-value deductible in most cases but switches to a percentage-based deductibles for particular scenarios, such as hurricane-related damage. Percentage-based deductibles are often considerably higher than flat-rate home insurance deductibles. Commonly, homeowner's insurance deductibles fall between $1,000 and $2,500 for dollar value-based claims, and may be as high as 5 percent of a home's insured value for policies that are percentage-based. That means that for a home with an insured value of $500,000, the homeowner may have to pay as much as $25,000 before an insurer will pay for additional repairs." }, { "docid": "D2355296#0", "title": "https://www.accuweather.com/en/outdoor-articles/outdoor-living/deadliest-aspects-of-severe-we-1/61823\nDeadliest Aspects of Severe Weather", "text": "NEWS VIDEOS BLOGS PERSONALITIESDeadliest Aspects of Severe Weather By Ryan Loverick July 12, 2015, 6:41:19 AM EDTWith severe weather season approaching, Accu Weather wants to ensure your inclination and knowledge so that you are better prepared for whatever Mother Nature may throw your way. Understanding severe weather is the first step to preparing for an extreme threat. A leading cause of weather-related deaths in the United States is flooding, according to floodsafety.com. Approximately 200 Americans die annually due to flash flooding. Although flooding is often the result of hurricanes and lengthy rainstorms, it can also occur any time the ground cannot handle the amount of moisture brought into a particular area. A broken levy or rapid winter warm up could also cause a flood, so make sure to have the essentials and an evacuation plan ready for when the water starts to rise. Heavy rains can create a flash flood in the blink of an eye when the ground is too hard to take on moisture. Texas is the most flood-plagued state in America due to its hard soil.

This includes losses due to fire or storm damage, burglary, or medical claims for injuries to another individual while on your property. Indiana has a relatively low level of threat from most natural disasters, with tornadoes, hail, and wind posing the greatest risk. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported a total of 56 tornadoes in the state in 2011, a number of which were in and around the Indianapolis area. Homeowners should note that while wind and hail damage are typically included in standard homeowners’ insurance policies, flood insurance generally needs to be purchased separately. Indiana boasts lower home insurance rates than the national average at an average premium of $717 in 2009. This is approximately 18.5% lower than the national average of $880 that same year. However, keep in mind that individuals living in higher population areas, such as Indianapolis, can often expect their monthly cost of home insurance to be higher than the rest of the state. Factors of Home Insurance Rates in Indianapolis When insurance companies calculate a rate for your policy they consider factors such as the size and value of your house, the risk and durability of certain building materials, the amount of coverage you have requested for your personal belongings, your credit history, and any previous claims you have made.

Your finances may also take a hit, as you may be expected to pick up more of the tab for wind and hail damage to your home. How do home insurance deductibles work? Most home insurance policies have a deductible, meaning the homeowner pays a certain amount before the insurance company pays any part of the claim. So if you have a $500 deductible, you'd pay $500 and the insurer would pay the rest of the claim amount. However, a number of insurers are adding a new deductible to standard home insurance policies called a wind/hail deductible. As a result, any time your home is damaged due to straight-line winds from a thunderstorm or quarter-size hail, you'll have to pay that deductible before the insurer will cover the claim. Wind/hail deductibles are the new normal when it comes to disaster risk, \"\"especially due to losses associated with wind, rain and hail,\"\" says Mary Bonelli, a spokeswoman for the Ohio Insurance Institute. Between 2007 and 2011, wind and hail accounted for the largest share of home insurance claims, according to the nonprofit Insurance Information Institute.

Virginia homeowners need to consider the potential dangers of floods, hurricanes, and earthquakes when purchasing home insurance. How Much Does Virginia Home Insurance Cost? According to the Insurance Information Institute, in 2010, the average annual premium for homeowners insurance in Virginia was $753. But insurance companies consider numerous factors when deciding the cost of a homeowner’s insurance. For example, the location of a home will affect the cost to insure it. If a home is in what is considered to be an at-risk area, such as near the coast or anywhere flooding is likely, it may be more expensive to insure. The materials a home is made from will affect the cost as well. Homes constructed of brick may be less expensive to insure because they resist fire better than structures constructed primarily of wood. The age and condition of the home play a role as well." } ]

I often have clients who want me to take a look at DNA results from people several generations removed from each other and try to determine if the ancestors are likely to be brothers, for example. While that’s fairly feasible in the first few generations, the further back in time one goes, the less reliably we can say much of anything about how DNA is transmitted. Hence, the less we can say, reliably, about relationships between people. The best we can ever do is to talk in averages. It’s like a coin flip. Take a coin out right now and flip it 10 times.

Many people want to reduce their estate to avoid paying for nursing homes and care costs and others see their children struggling to get on the property ladder, or buy a bigger home for their own family, and want to help them out. However, gifting away your home or signing over the deeds to a loved one is not straightforward and you should weigh up the pros and cons before doing so.

In order to know whether an investment has provided those longed-for gains, investors need to keep track of portfolio performance. Understanding total cost basis, as well as complying with the implementation of recent changes to tax law, is critical to knowing if an investment is fruitful, which puts the onus of accurate cost basis reporting on investors. Although brokerage firms are required to report the price paid for taxable securities to the IRS, for some securities, such as those held for a long period of time or those transferred from another brokerage firm, the historical cost basis will need to be provided by the investor. The initial purchase price is only one part of the overall cost of an investment. Equity cost basis is the total cost to an investor; this amount includes the purchase price per share plus reinvested dividends and commissions. Equity cost basis is not only required to determine how much, if any, taxes need to be paid on an investment, but is critical in tracking the gains or losses on an investment to make informed buy or sell decisions. Dividends Straightforward calculations of equity cost basis for a non-dividend paying stock are simple: purchase price per share plus fees per share. However, more often than not, other inputs need to be considered as well, such as reinvested dividends, stock splits, mergers or even bankrupt shares. Reinvesting dividends increase the cost basis of a stock because dividends are used to buy more shares." }, { "docid": "D238801#0", "title": "https://www.thoughtco.com/polygenic-inheritance-373444\nPolygenic Inheritance", "text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Science Polygenic Inheritance Share Flipboard Email Printby Regina Bailey Updated March 06, 201701of 03Polygenic Inheritance Traits such as skin color, eye color and hair color are polygenic traits that are influenced by several genes. Stockbyte/Getty Images Polygenic Inheritance Polygenic inheritance describes the inheritance of traits that are determined by more than one gene. This type of inheritance differs from Mendelian inheritance patterns in which traits are determined by one gene. Polygenic traits have many possible phenotypes that are determined by interactions among several alleles. Examples of polygenic inheritance in humans include traits such as skin color, eye color, hair color, body shape, height, and weight. In polygenic inheritance, the genes contributing to a trait have equal influence and the alleles for the gene have an additive effect. Polygenic traits do not exhibit complete dominance as do Mendelian traits, but exhibit incomplete dominance. In incomplete dominance, one allele does not completely dominate or mask another. The phenotype is a mixture of the phenotypes inherited from the parent alleles.

For example, recent studies suggest 50 to 60 percent of alcoholism risk is genetic (National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism). This means the other 40 to 50 percent of the risk is environmental. A person may be genetically predisposed to alcoholism due to previous family history.

Hemochromatosis is the most common form of iron overload disease. Too much iron in the body causes hemochromatosis. Iron is important because it is part of hemoglobin, a molecule in the blood that transports oxygen from the lungs to all body tissues. However, too much iron in the body leads to iron overload—a buildup of extra iron that, without treatment, can damage organs such as the liver, heart, and pancreas; endocrine glands; and joints. The three types of hemochromatosis are primary hemochromatosis, also called hereditary hemochromatosis; secondary hemochromatosis; and neonatal hemochromatosis. What causes hemochromatosis? Primary Hemochromatosis Inherited genetic defects cause primary hemochromatosis, and mutations in the HFE gene are associated with up to 90 percent of cases. 1 The HFE gene helps regulate the amount of iron absorbed from food.

Most cases of colon cancer begin as small, noncancerous (benign) clumps of cells called adenomatous polyps. Over time some of these polyps can become colon cancers. Polyps may be small and produce few, if any, symptoms. For this reason, doctors recommend regular screening tests to help prevent colon cancer by identifying and removing polyps before they turn into cancer. Symptoms Signs and symptoms of colon cancer include: A change in your bowel habits, including diarrhea or constipation or a change in the consistency of your stool, that lasts longer than four weeks Rectal bleeding or blood in your stool Persistent abdominal discomfort, such as cramps, gas or pain A feeling that your bowel doesn't empty completely Weakness or fatigue Unexplained weight loss Many people with colon cancer experience no symptoms in the early stages of the disease.

Generally medical malpractice cases are complex and highly technical. Typical costs: Medical malpractice lawyers usually take cases on a contingency basis, charging 20-40 percent of any final settlement or court judgment; you only pay these legal fees if you win. The percentage is negotiated in advance, based on prevailing rates in your area, the expected length and complexity of the case, the amount of money expected to be awarded and, in some cases, the lawyer's experience and reputation. Some attorneys have a schedule of fees, such as 25 percent if the case settles before going to trial, 33 percent if it goes to trial and 40 percent of the final settlement/judgment if the case is appealed. Some states have sliding-scale maximums based on the amount of the settlement/judgment, such as 33.3 percent for the first $300,000, 25 percent for the next $300,000, and increasingly lower percentages as the total amount increases. Ongoing expenses to prepare and mount a medical malpractice case average around $20,000-$50,000, but in complicated situations it can be $50,000-$100,000 and up for costs such as expert medical testimony, obtaining extensive records or using technology to demonstrate the negligence and injury. Usually the attorney will pay these out-of-pocket costs and be reimbursed out of the settlement/judgment.

Estimating the Effects of Apology Laws in Medical Malpractice: * Benjamin Ho Cornell University Elaine Liu University of Houston September 2010 ABSTRACT When doctors apologize for adverse medical outcomes, patients are less likely to litigate. However, doctors are socialized to avoid apologies because apologies admit guilt and invite lawsuits. Apology laws specify that a physician’s apology is inadmissible in court, in order to encourage apologies and reduce litigation. Using a difference-in-differences estimation, we find that State-level apology laws expedite time to resolution and increase the closed claim frequency by 15% at the State level. Using individual level data, we also find such laws have reduced malpractice payments in cases with the most severe outcome by nearly 20%. Such analysis allow us to quantify the effect of apologies in medical malpractice litigation. *" }, { "docid": "D1004773#0", "title": "https://mises.org/blog/how-government-regulations-made-healthcare-so-expensive\nHow Government Regulations Made Healthcare So Expensive", "text": "\"A AHome | Wire | How Government Regulations Made Healthcare So Expensive How Government Regulations Made Healthcare So Expensive91 Comments Tags Big Government Health05/09/2017 Mike Holly [Originally published 12/17/2013 as a Mises Daily article. ]\"\" Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,\"\" declared philosopher George Santayana.

Figure 1: An Indexed Comparison of Health Care Inflation and Consumer Price Index in US from 1935 to 2009 (Source: US Census 2013Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman wrote that medical price inflation since 1965 has been caused by the rising demand for health-care coupled with restricted supply (Friedman 1992).

Every so often, for reasons that aren’t always clear, tort reform bubbles up as a crisis. Typically, the trial lawyers say that in fighting tort reform, all they want to do is protect patients against negligent physicians. The physicians line up on the other side and respond that in pushing for tort reform, they’re the ones who are trying to protect patients from having to pay for the spiraling costs of malpractice insurance, or even from a lack of access to healthcare. Maybe some laws get passed, the shouting dies down, and the issue disappears as quickly as it arose—until the next time. A cyclic disorder Every decade or so since the 1970s tort reform has resurfaced as a major issue, says Keith Hebeisen, a partner at Clifford Law Offices in Chicago, and chair of the American Bar Association’s standing committee on medical professional liability. These crises, he says, are driven by lobbyists for the insurance industry, “using the doctors almost as a front group. ”Over the past 3 decades, every 6 to 10 years would see a huge increase in malpractice insurance premiums, sometimes up to 100%, says Edmund Funai, MD, professor of obstetrics/gynecology at Ohio State University (OSU) in Columbus, Ohio, and chief operating officer of the OSU Health System. “ There are lots of theories about why malpractice insurance rates are as high as they are,” says Christopher Bernard, partner at Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder in Bridgeport, Connecticut." }, { "docid": "D969467#0", "title": "https://www.trustedchoice.com/professional-liability-insurance/medical-malpractice/\nMedical Malpractice Insurance", "text": "As a health professional, you help people every day who have health challenges and need your help.

Enrollment is voluntary in Indiana and requires payment of an enrollment surcharge to the Fund and proof of underlying coverage. Individual providers are required to carry primary medical malpractice insurance limits of $250,000 / $750,000 and facilities generally must carry $250,000 / $5,000,000.

Anecdotal medical malpractice evidence suggests that in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, it became possible under American court standard to sue a medical professional for negligence.

Average Medical Malpractice Claims Payments Taking the amount of the total dollars in paid medical malpractice claims that were paid and dividing it by the number of paid medical malpractice claims in the corresponding years and you will get the average medical malpractice claims payments. The NPDB estimate for 1991-2003 rose from $154.7 thousand to $291.2 thousand (88%) and the PIAA increased from $139.9 thousand in 1988 to $322.0 thousand in 2002 (131%. ) Average Defense Costs per Medical Malpractice Claim Even if a medical malpractice claim against a medical provider is not decided in the plaintiff’s favor, there are still significant “defense costs” that the malpractice insurer or defendant are responsible for. There are the costs of hiring expert witnesses, legal fees and other handling fees. According to PIAA figures gathered from 1991 through 2001, the average defense costs per “paid” claims grew from $21,000 to $43,000; the average defense costs per “all” claims grew from $15,000 to $29,500; and the average defense costs per “no payment” claims grew from $12,000 to $23,500." }, { "docid": "D3245101#0", "title": "https://www.texmed.org/StatuteOfLimitations/\nSummary of Texas Medical Professional Liability Law", "text": "In the spring of 1977, the Texas legislature — led by Rep. Pike Powers and Sen. Ray Farabee — passed the Medical Liability and Insurance Improvement Act (MLIIA), which was codified as Article 4590i of the Texas Revised Civil Statutes. The MLIIA was intended to respond to the perceived crisis in medical malpractice insurance during that period. Article 4590i introduced several significant changes in the law, including: pre-suit notification, expert reports early in the litigation process, caps on damages and a 2-year statute of limitations. In the intervening decades, parts of the statute have been declared unconstitutional and other parts have been judicially refined. In 2003 the Texas Legislature made significant changes to MLIAA and re-codified it in the Civil Practice and Remedies Code.

Take a guess at how much smoking can cost a smoker per year. Did you guess $15,000? From dental costs to laundry to property damage to productivity loss, the incidental costs of smoking can really add up to a whole lot more than you might think. The Obama administration recently passed a bill that will prevent tobacco companies from creating flavors and slogans that make some cigarettes appear less dangerous than others. But although some companies might claim to be healthier for your body, all smoke-related products are unhealthy for your wallet. Explicit Costs Smoking causes one in five adult deaths in the U. S. That's a steep cost in itself, but there are a lot of lesser-known economic costs that go along with smoking. Let's start with the most obvious out-of-pocket cost; if a smoker is going through a pack every day, that's about $30 per week at the average price (2008) of $4.35 per pack, but the price can be much higher. In New York, for example, the costs can reach $9 per pack, and in Canada, prices can be as high as $11 (or approximately $13 Canadian), making the cost around $60 per week.

How do we pay for those braces? Does she have to have a tutu to go to dance class? ( The answer was, of course, a foot-stomping yes.) I tried not to think about the big picture. Too overwhelming. Nonetheless, for years I’ve heard it said that it costs roughly $160,000 to raise a child from infancy to age 18. Turns out that much-cited figure was originally compiled by Manitoba Agriculture — the actual number for 2004 (the latest year for which the calculation was completed) was $166,972 for a boy and $166,549 for a girl, predicated on the idea that the food cost for boys is higher.

From ad campaigns to product placement to cartoon characters, Big Tobacco has spent big bucks on getting kids to start smoking. Tactics are deceptive and gloss over the fact that tobacco is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. The truth is, the tobacco industry needs kids to start smoking to make up for the adults that die from tobacco-related disease. Every day, close to 400 kids and teens who had previously been occasional cigarette smokers become daily cigarette smokers. Take a look at some of the duplicitous schemes tobacco companies have used to hook kids into a lifetime of addiction: Candy- and Fruit-Flavored Products Vanilla, cherry, chocolate, blueberry … are these flavors for children's bubble gum or for tobacco? The use of flavors in cigarettes was prohibited in 2009, but flavored cigars and other tobacco products are still made and sold with candy and fruit flavorings.

It is the responsiveness of one variable (demand or supply) to a change in another (e.g. price). This concept is elementary to comprehending how markets work. The most common elasticities used include price elasticity of demand, price elasticity of supply, cross-price elasticity of demand and income elasticity of demand.

However, while these losses feature prominently in the costs of addiction, they only tell part of the story. Typically, addicts and their families also pay a heavy financial cost, both in terms of the money spent on the substance or activity in question and in terms of lost wages and job opportunities. Society also pays a significant cost due to factors such as lost productivity, health care expenses for indigent addicts, drug treatment programs, drug-related law enforcement efforts, and the housing of drug offenders in jails and prisons. Addiction Expenditures An alcoholic who drinks two cheap six-packs of beer each day spends about $9 to support his/her addiction. This same rate of consumption produces costs of roughly $36 per month and $432 per year. A nicotine addict who smokes only a pack a day can spend roughly $2,160 a year on cigarettes; people with heavy nicotine habits can bear costs that reach or exceed about $6,000 per year. While it’s more difficult to accurately estimate the cost of addiction to illegal drugs, conservative estimates indicate that a marijuana user can spend close to $1,000 a year, while a methamphetamine addict can spend $4,000 or more each year. People addicted to cocaine or heroin can easily spend $10,000 or more per year to support their habits.

The average American spent $2,504 on entertainment in 2010, the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported in August 2012. Entertainment spending dropped 7 percent from 2009 as consumers tightened their belts in an uncertain economy. People spent less on concerts, movies and sports events, and fewer visited theme parks, bowling alleys and golf courses. However, at the same time, Americans spent more on home-based entertainment such as cable television, hobbies and pets. Entertainment Spending and Income Although $2,504 was the overall average Americans spent on entertainment, averages vary according to a different income brackets.

Soon-to-be retirees often wonder how much they need to save if they want to live comfortably in retirement. There’s no single answer to this question, yet most retirees will find that careful planning will let them live on a modest monthly income. While financial experts often recommend a savings plan which will allow retirees to live on 60 to 80 percent of their pre-retirement income, many retirees find themselves relying on a combination of Social Security benefits and income from savings which may be much lower than that amount. In 2010, the Federal Reserve estimated that a household headed by someone aged 65 to 74 earned an average of $42,700, while households over age 75 had an average yearly income of just $29,100. These numbers include both retirees and people who are working full or part-time jobs, yet it gives an idea of an average income for adults at retirement age. A look at Social Security benefits can also suggest average retirement income. According to the Social Security Administration, retired workers currently receive an average of $1,237 in monthly benefits, while their spouses (if they are married) bring in an additional $613. A modest pension or other savings plan may bring that up to an income of around $2,800 per month ($33,600 per year), which is right in the ballpark of the Federal Reserve’s reported incomes. Living on a fixed income is easier when you stick to a well-planned budget." }, { "docid": "D570624#0", "title": "http://money.usnews.com/money/personal-finance/articles/2014/09/17/4-questions-to-consider-before-adding-onto-your-home\n4 Questions to Consider Before Adding Onto Your Home", "text": "\"It's a question that crosses the minds of many homeowners who think it would be nice to move but lack the money or will to pack everything up: Why don't I just add onto my house?

In many ways, the America of today mirrors that of the Depression-era, when the first national welfare system was introduced.

These athletes are paid for jobs that they only do for a certain number of games and do not even play the games over the course of an entire year.

Athletes work only a few months out of the year, playing a limited number of games.

NBA players, on the other hand, do play a substantial number of games; they play 82 regular season games, and up to 28 postseason games. In Major League Soccer, the teams play 30 regular season games with a chance of five post season games.

The cost of owning a car Here’s a look at all the budget categories you may want to consider when attempting to nail down your auto expenses: Purchase price – payment (cash and/or financing and interest) to acquire the vehicle Taxes – paid when you buy or sell the vehicle Fuel – the gasoline/fuel you need to make the vehicle run Insurance – all levels auto insurance including personal liability, collision, comprehensive, roadside assistance, etc Tags and registration – state vehicle registration, license plates, and renewal tags Repair and maintenance – tires, oil changes, and all other repairs and maintenance necessary to keep your vehicle operational Today we’ll set aside the first five categories and focus solely on budgeting for repairs and maintenance. Benefits of controlling these costs Many of the benefits of controlling your auto maintenance costs are similar to those you experience when gaining control over any area of your money, so let’s focus on those that are specific to the topic. Proper budgeting for auto repair and maintenance will allow you to: Have a better relationship and better communication with your auto mechanic Prepare/plan better so you don’t have to race to get oil changes before your next trip Reduce your maintenance expenses going forward Relax in the knowledge that you’re prepared You can achieve all of these things simply by setting aside enough money to cover your expenses. That way you won’t have to stress or worry about where the money is coming from — if it can be found at all. A simple, average amount Before we try to determine specific dollar amounts for your individual situation, let’s talk about a simple, average amount that people can start with. If you want a detailed break down of costs for your exact vehicle and situation… Scroll down to the next section. Earlier this week, I spoke with my trusted auto mechanic — Sam — about how much the average person should budget for auto repair and maintenance." }, { "docid": "D2702720#0", "title": "https://thebillfold.com/how-an-entry-level-investment-banker-does-money-3d6c833feaf7\nHow an Entry-level Investment Banker Does Money", "text": "by Jinna Wang Evan (not his real name), is a 22-year-old investment banking analyst living and working in New York City.

(Linda Davidson/The Washington Post)It’s more expensive than ever to raise a child in the United States, where families will shell out an average of $233,610 from birth through age 17 — or about $13,000 a year — according to new figures from the government. The ballooning price tag, a 3 percent increase from a year earlier, comes at a time when day-care costs can exceed university tuitions and homes prices have skyrocketed to record highs. Families in urban areas in the Northeast, such as New York and Boston, were likely to pay even more — an average of $253,770, or roughly $14,000 a year — because of higher housing and child-care costs, according to a report by the Department of Agriculture. The amount a family will spend per child varies greatly based on the family’s income, as well as where it lives. Lower-income families are likely to spend $212,300 per child through age 17, while higher-income families will spend more than double that, or about $454,770, according to the report. Families in rural areas, meanwhile, are likely to spend 24 percent less than their counterparts in urban areas in the Northeast. “People tend to buy what they can afford — and with higher incomes, people are likely to spend more on their children,” said Stephen Fuller, an economist and professor of public policy at George Mason University. Children also become more expensive as they get older, the data show.

Depending on where you live and the cost of living for your area, you might be paying more or less than someone across the country. Where you live doesn’t just affect how much you spend, either. According to the biggest survey of U.

Health is not the only thing that differs across America. Americans across the country (and often in the same state) spend different amounts on various expenses.

The cost of purchasing a house changes depending on the size and neighborhood you want, but it can also drastically change depending on which city you live in within a particular state.

Rain is a major component of the water cycle and is responsible for depositing most of the fresh water on the Earth. It provides suitable conditions for many types of ecosystems, as well as water for hydroelectric power plants and crop irrigation. The major cause of rain production is moisture moving along three-dimensional zones of temperature and moisture contrasts known as weather fronts.

For 30 years climatologists have been asking what would happen to rainfall over the Amazon Basin were the forest to disappear, ripped up for cattle pasture, for soya, for timber or as a result of dramatic changes to the air mass circulation brought about by global warming and the continuing, business-as-usual emissions of greenhouse gases. Would rainfall decline significantly? Could it even increase over the Andes, as the air mass passes unimpeded across the thousands of kilometres of the Basin? Most studies of the Amazon Basin, such as those of the UK’s Hadley Centre, indicate that deforestation would have little effect along the eastern region of the Basin and at worst would bring about a 15 to 20 per cent reduction in rainfall – one millimetre less than the 5.8 millimetres daily average – in the central and western part [1, 2]. These conclusions are based on climate models parameterized (tweaked) to agree closely with past data such that when they are ‘played’ back from present conditions they accord well with general climatic conditions of the mid 19 th century. And, to be more realistic, climatologists such as Richard Betts at the Hadley Centre have integrated a terrestrial carbon cycle into their models, with rainfall and temperature as critical factors in the maintenance of vegetation cover. They took into account the recycling of rain through evapo-transpiration, which over a long stretch - the 7 million square kilometre Amazon Basin - is the mechanism whereby the rainforest in the centre and further extremities inland is deemed to receive adequate watering. The Hadley Centre model (Had SM3 coupled to a dynamic global vegetation model –TRIFFID) predicts impacts on surface temperature, on ocean currents and ultimately on the state of the Amazon rainforests as a result of ‘business-as-usual’ emissions of greenhouse gases, mainly CO 2. Hence, the models predicted that global surface terrestrial temperatures would rise by a good 50 per cent more than indicated in the various IPCC assessment reports, perhaps to as high as 9 ˚C, and that, consequently, El Niño-like changes would take place in the Pacific Ocean. The result would be that the trade winds would falter and the rain-bearing atmospheric Hadley Cell Circulation (see later) over the tropical Atlantic would diminish sufficiently to bring about large scale forest dieback over the entire Amazon Basin." }, { "docid": "D444011#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_rainfall_climatology\nEarth rainfall climatology", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Long-term mean precipitation by month Earth rainfall climatology Is the study of rainfall, a sub-field of Meteorology. Formally, a wider study includes water falling as ice crystals, i.e. hail, sleet, snow (parts of the hydrological cycle known as precipitation ). The aim of rainfall climatology is to measure, understand and predict rain distribution across different regions of planet Earth, a factor of air pressure, humidity, topography, cloud type and raindrop size, via direct measurement and remote sensing data acquisition. Current technologies accurately predict rainfall 3–4 days in advance using numerical weather prediction. Geostationary orbiting satellites gather IR and visual wavelength data to measure realtime localised rainfall by estimating cloud albedo, water content, and the corresponding probability of rain. Geographic distribution of rain is largely governed by climate type, topography and habitat humidity. In mountainous areas, heavy precipitation is possible where upslope flow is maximized within windward sides of the terrain at elevation. On the leeward side of mountains, desert climates can exist due to the dry air caused by compressional heating.

The food chain complies with two of the most basic notions in biology. First, it has an energy source, in this case, the sun, and an energy “sink,” in this instance, space. The sun fuels the work required for biologic processes. Space receives the waste heat produced by the work. Otherwise, temperatures would rise to the point that the community of organisms would perish. Second, by definition, a food chain comprises a system of interdependent species.

However, required annual precipitation depends on factors such as distribution of rainfall over the year, temperatures over the year and fog presence, and definitions in other countries differ considerably. For example, Australian definitions are ecological -structural rather than climatic: Closed canopy of trees excludes at least 70% of the sky. Forest is composed mainly of tree species which do not require fire for regeneration, but with seedlings able to regenerate under shade and in natural openings. [ 3]The latter would, for example, exclude a part of the temperate rain forests of western North America, as Coast Douglas-fir, one of its dominant tree species, requires stand-destroying disturbance to initiate a new cohort of seedlings. [ 4] The North American definition would in turn exclude a part of temperate rain forests in other countries." }, { "docid": "D2532403#0", "title": "http://www.auroradesigns.org/Biomes/\nThe Biomes:", "text": "The Biomes: Terrestrial Biomes: Alpine Tundra Montane Boreal Forest Tundra Cold Desert Hot Desert Temperate Grassland Tropical Savanna Tropical Rainforest Tropical Dry Forest Temperate Forest Temperate Rainforest Semi-Desert Mediterranean Scrub Marine Biomes: Temperate Coast Tropical Coast Pelagic Benthic Polar Ice Aquatic Biomes: Freshwater Palustrine Wetland Terrestrial Biomes Alpine Tundra Seasons: Climate Depending Climate: Alpine Altitude Vegetation: Grasses, Moss Precipitation: Varies Temperature: Cold The highest regions of the world, alpine tundra is a mountain zone that is above the tree line.

We will spend much of the time discussing the terrestrial biomes, though the aquatic biomes make up approximately seventy-five percent of the biomes on the planet. Aquatic biomes are sometimes difficult to categorize since many scientists debate the actual boundary between where some end and others begin. The main aquatic biomes are oceans, bays, lakes, rivers, ponds, streams, marshes, swamps and estuaries. The problem occurs in cases like an estuary where someone has to define where the ocean and river ends on either side of the estuary.

A rainforest is described as tall, hot and dense forest near the equator and is believed to be the oldest living ecosystems on Earth which gets maximum amount of rainfall. As the name implies, rainforests are the forests that get very high amount of rainfall every year, more than the normal annual rainfall of 1750–2000 mm (68-78 inches). Most of the rainforests in this world are located around the middle of earth near the equator like South and Central America, Africa, Asia and Australia. A rainforest is a densely wooded area that receives vast amounts of rainfall in a single year, 80 inches of rain to be exact. For a rainforest to exist, there must be a warm climate, which explains why a vast majority of tropical rainforest regions are situated on or near the equator. The countries taking the biggest share of rainforests include Brazil, Peru, Indonesia, Bolivia, Angola, Mexico, India, New Guinea, and Venezuela. Brazil claims the largest rain forest reserve on the entire globe, which is situated in the Amazon River basin. There are places where rainforest cannot exist, for example, the desert due to unavailability of rainfall and the arctic regions due to freezing temperatures.

[ 1] [2] It is measured by assessing the patterns of variation in temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, precipitation, atmospheric particle count and other meteorological variables in a given region over long periods of time. Climate differs from weather, in that weather only describes the short-term conditions of these variables in a given region. A region's climate is generated by the climate system, which has five components: atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. [ 3]The climate of a location is affected by its latitude, terrain, and altitude, as well as nearby water bodies and their currents. Climates can be classified according to the average and the typical ranges of different variables, most commonly temperature and precipitation. The most commonly used classification scheme was the Köppen climate classification. The Thornthwaite system, [4] in use since 1948, incorporates evapotranspiration along with temperature and precipitation information and is used in studying biological diversity and how climate change affects it." }, { "docid": "D92071#0", "title": "https://www.reference.com/science/abiotic-factors-tropical-rainforest-a102b2fe58b495e5\nWhat Are Some of the Abiotic Factors in a Tropical Rainforest?", "text": "Science Environmental Science Q: What Are Some of the Abiotic Factors in a Tropical Rainforest? A: Quick Answer Some of the abiotic factors found in a tropical rainforest are high temperatures, heavy rainfall, poor nutrient content in soil and sunlight that is found primarily at the tree canopy level while remaining limited at ground level. Because of the heavy overhead canopy, the forest floor may receive as little as 2 percent of the sunlight. Precipitation, which is a significant abiotic factor in a non-aquatic ecosystem, can range between 98 and 177 inches annually in a tropical rainforest.

Full Answer Several abiotic factors are considered in categorizing an ecosystem as a tropical rainforest: the average temperature must be greater than 75 degrees Fahrenheit, the annual rainfall must be more than 98 inches and there must never be any occurrence of frost. The soil is typically poor in a tropical rainforest because the heavy rainfall washes away nutrients and it is usually acidic.

On-shore summer winds blowing from over tropical warm oceans are generators of abundant precipitation, while the off-shore winds from over land make the weather dry during winter. The most clearly defined monsoon climates are located in the coastal areas of the eastern and southern Asia. The following Asian countries have monsoon type of climate: India, Burma, Bangladesh, Indochina, Southern China and the Philippines. Besides, the monsoon circulation also affects Taiwan, Japan and Korea where, because of their middle latitude location between the continent and the ocean, seasonal contrast of temperature results in seasonal reversal of winds. It may be noted that surface relief, direction of the coast line and the extension of the monsoon into middle-latitudes cause a number of sub-types of the monsoon climate found over this most extensive continent. For example, because of the direction of its coastline, the winter monsoon which strikes the coastal ranges after crossing the South China Sea brings the rainy season. Temperature: In the coastal regions of the tropical monsoon climate the temperatures are uniformly warm. Compared with the tropical rainforest climate air temperatures show a marked annual cycle. The highest temperatures in this climate are recorded during summer just before the advent of rains when the skies are clear." } ]

DRY - SHEDDING SOME LIGHT ON THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST RAIN SHADOWCOREY CHRISTIANSEN When most people think about the Pacific Northwest, they immediately think non-stop rain. While Seattle and the rest of the Puget Sound certainly live up to this expectation, life is much different on the other side of the Cascades. Living in the Yakima Valley or the Columbia Basin is just like living in any of the desert areas of California, Nevada, or Utah. We don't see much rain annually, and accurately predicting rainfall is notoriously difficult because of the Cascade rain shadow. This is one of the biggest challenges that forecasters face in the Interior Northwest. Before explaining the rain shadow effect and how it operates in the Pacific Northwest, it is helpful to understand the geography of the area. Below is a topographical map of Washington that shows the Cascade Mountains running from the state's southern border with Oregon to the northern border with British Columbia. Seattle is located just west of the Cascades in an area called the Puget Sound. My forecast area is the flatter, drier land east of the Cascades called the Columbia Basin." }, { "docid": "D1596133#0", "title": "http://globalwarmingisreal.com/2014/04/03/landslides-and-climate-change-north-america/\nThe Relationship Between Landslides and Climate Change in North America", "text": "\"The Relationship Between Landslides and Climate Change in North America By Richard Matthews · Comments (0) · Thursday, April 3 rd, 2014While the causal factors involved in landslides are complex, there is a strong body of research which supports the idea that climate change will increase the number of slides. The key factor connecting climate change to landslides is water. This linkage has been evinced in both geological and hydrological research. As University of Washington geologist Dave Montgomery explained in an interview with Earthfix, “if the climate changes in a way that we get a lot more rainfall you would expect to see a lot more landslides.” The relationship between increased heavy rainfalls and climate change is widely documented. In 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Working Group l reported that we can expect more extreme weather including heavy rains. “More precipitation now falls as rain rather than snow in northern regions. Widespread increases in heavy precipitation events have been observed,” the IPCC report stated. These observations have been reiterated in subsequent IPCC reports including the recently released AR5 Working Group ll. This report specifically pointed to “Increases in rainfall and wet weather…” in North America." }, { "docid": "D357948#0", "title": "http://www.seattleweatherblog.com/tag/seattle-average-yearly-rainfall/\nTag: Seattle Average Yearly Rainfall", "text": "Home Tags Seattle Average Yearly Rainfall Tag: Seattle Average Yearly Rainfall2018 Rainfall January 3, 2018 12:10 pm Rain Stats January 25, 2013 12:52 pm40 Inches and Counting November 29, 2012 3:33 pm2012 Rainfall Nearing 40 Inches November 25, 2012 6:57 pm" }, { "docid": "D1244276#0", "title": "https://weatherspark.com/m/913/10/Average-Weather-in-October-in-Seattle-Washington-United-States\nAverage Weather in October in Seattle Washington, United States", "text": "Average Weather in October in Seattle Washington, United States Daily high temperatures decrease by 10°F, from 67°F to 56°F, rarely falling below 51°F or exceeding 75°F.

Surveys of people in Canada and New Zealand and in northern and central Europe, find the majority prefer daily high temperatures in the range of 20 to 26 degrees Celsius (68 to 79 degrees Fahrenheit). Within that temperature span, the ideal is 22 to 23 °C (72 to 73 °F). Adults young and old find that this temperature is the most comfortable.

By Nate Silver and Reuben Fischer-Baum Filed under Weather Most every American has some basis to complain about unpredictable weather. As a mid-latitude country with shining seas and majestic mountain ranges and fruited, wind-swept plains, we’re subject to pretty much every type of weather meteorologists have thought to identify. So perhaps you’ve heard the line: “If you don’t like the weather in Chicago, wait five minutes.” Or you’ve heard it applied to a city nearer to you: Denver or San Francisco or Atlanta or Boston. But where in the country is the weather truly the most unpredictable? We’re going to answer this question in a specific way, by comparing daily weather patterns against long-term averages. 1 We’ll define the weather as being more unpredictable when it deviates more from these long-term trends. Meteorologists call these long-term averages climatology. Weather forecasting has moved beyond climatology to embrace more sophisticated techniques, but in some cities climatology does extremely well on its own." }, { "docid": "D2049767#0", "title": "https://www.currentresults.com/Weather/Washington/Places/seattle-weather-in-april.php\nSeattle Weather in April", "text": "by Liz Osborn Current Results.com April is a month of moderate weather for Seattle, Washington.

However, usually kriging gives good result in spatial interpolation. Since kriging considers variogram for computing its weight factors, it has dependency on correct variogram estimation. Arc GIS 9.3 or earlier verson does not have option for correct variogram modelling except doing manual trial and error calibration. I didnt try with Arc GIS10. So, in kriging you need to first identify a correct variogram model to interpolate your data in kriging. You can try this variogram modelling with another commercial package GS+ (a geostatistical software package) or ISATIS." } ]

On average, most college students get 6 - 6.9 hours of sleep per night, and the college years are notoriously sleep-deprived due to an overload of activities. Recent research on college students and sleep indicates that insufficient sleep impacts our health, our moods, our GPA and our safety. Sleep really matters. WHY do we need sleep? Sleep is important for a number of reasons. It restores our energy, fights off illness and fatigue by strengthening our immune system, helps us think more clearly and creatively, strengthens memory and produces a more positive mood and better performance throughout the day. Sleep isn’t just a passive activity and something to fill the time when we are inactive, but rather it is an active and dynamic process vital for normal motor and cognitive function. HOW MUCH sleep do we need? Most adults need somewhere between 6-10 hours of sleep per night." } ]

This directly translates to 15 hours spent in a classroom per week. However, the actual amount of hours a student spends in classes related to STEM largely depends on their specific major and the school at which they are pursuing that major.

S. Bureau of Labor Statistics presents findings from the American Time Use Survey. This federal survey includes data from individuals, age 15 to 49, who are enrolled full-time in an accredited college or university in the United States and elicits information about how college students spend their time. One major conclusion from the survey is that on an average weekday, college students spend 3.3 hours engaged in educational activities—that’s just 3.3 hours a day out of the 24 available to them. Here’s a summary of the survey’s results which are based on non-holiday weekdays and averages for 2009 to 2013: So what does it mean and how does it relate to student success, which is the mission and primary aim of the Center for Higher Education Enterprise (CHEE) at The Ohio State University? Several points deserve mention:1. Students, on average, spend only 3.3 hours per day on “educational activities,” despite a general rule that students should devote 2 hours of study time for every 1 hour of class time—the widely circulated “2:1 rule.” College student educators should encourage students to increase the amount of time spent on educational activities and provide advice about how to maximize study time. Sharing the 2:1 rule may help students set goals for themselves.2. Students, on average, spend 2.5 hours per day on “working and related activities,” which is less than an hour shy of the time devoted to educational activities. That students spend just as much time working as they do studying is important to note; time devoted to working may be even greater for low-income students, Pell grant recipients, and those with dependents." }, { "docid": "D3365020#0", "title": "https://dailytitan.com/2014/10/students-lack-of-sleep-impacts-academic-performance/\nStudents lack of sleep impacts academic performance", "text": "Students lack of sleep impacts academic performance In Features, Top Stories Heather Ann Myers October 22, 2014 11:37 pm0Share Share Tweet Between juggling a full school schedule, work and a personal life, college students often spend long nights cramming for a test, accompanied by enormous amounts of caffeine. This requires taking advantage of any down time to catch up on sleep. It is something that is abundant in childhood, but lacking during college years. Sleep is a necessity, yet college students give more importance on the courses they are taking to complete their degrees. However, lack of sleep can significantly affect performance and mindset in a negative way. Forty-four percent of students claimed to have only felt rested in the morning for 3-5 days during their past week, according to the 2014 American College Health Association-National College Health Assessment (ACHA-NCHA). In that same study, only 9 percent of students said they did not have a problem with daytime sleepiness. The benefits of sufficient sleep not only include the feeling of being well-rested, but sleep is also necessary for our nervous system to function properly. Too little sleep causes the loss of concentration, and can lead to memory impairment and compromised physical performance. Chronic sleep deprivation can also cause mood swings and hallucinations, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke." }, { "docid": "D2285932#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amherst_Mammoths\nAmherst College", "text": "\"Amherst College From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Amherst Mammoths)navigation search Not to be confused with University of Massachusetts Amherst or Elmhurst College.

I thought it would be informative to hear directly from the scientist who led the study describing in her own words the findings and their interpretation. This blog entry is by the lead author of this study, Dr. Terri D. Fisher, Professor of Psychology at The Ohio State University at Mansfield. Most people have heard the popular claim that men think about sex every seven seconds (around 8,000 times a day! ), but you might be surprised to learn that there is absolutely no research to back that claim. The frequency of sexual thoughts has been studied in the past, but every study except for one has relied on self-report after the fact (quick—how many times a day do you think about sex?). People aren't very good at assessing information like that, and their reports are likely to be influenced by what they have heard in the past about the frequency of sexual thoughts and by expectations for their gender.

Posted On December 1, 2015Categories Uncategorized The average college student only gets around six hours of sleep per night. Recent research on college students and sleep indicates that insufficient sleep impacts our health, our moods, our GPA and our safety. Sleep is important for a number of reasons. It restores our energy, fights off illness and fatigue by strengthening our immune system, helps us think more clearly and creatively, strengthens memory and produces a more positive mood and better performance throughout the day. Sleep isn’t just a passive activity and something to fill the time when we are inactive, but rather it is an active and dynamic process vital for normal motor and cognitive function. Most adults need somewhere between eight hours of sleep per night. Different people need different amounts of sleep to feel rested. If you are frequently tired or irritable during the day and find yourself sleeping more than an extra two hours per night on weekends, then you are probably not getting enough sleep during the week.

Thanks!1 following 8 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: According to Lawrie Miller it can be done in four weeks. http://bain4weeks.com/introduc.html That's not a process that most people are capable of but some of his techniques there are useful to anyone trying to accelerate the degree process. If you have to earn the degree by actually taking the 40 or so classes then it's a whole different matter. The key is that a bachelor's degree isn't about time in the seat - it's about completing classes. When you've taken them all (whether that's a year or 10 years) you're done. So accelerating the process if you have to take them all depends on taking more than typical. The typical student that wants to finish a bachelor's degree in 4 years will take 10 classes per year (5 per semester, fall and spring) and that wraps perfectly to 40 courses (120 semester hours) in 4 years. If you take more than 5 courses per semester or more than 2 semesters per year then you start getting ahead of the time sequence.

Consumerist says, “when you consider the volume of your typical coffee drink versus a gallon of gasoline, it looks like we place a higher value on our java jolt than we do on the 87 octane in our gas tanks. ”Younger workers average $24.74 per week on coffee while workers over 45 spend an average of $14.15 per week, a fairly dramatic difference. People under 35 grew up with Starbucks on every corner and are primed to spend a ridiculous amount on coffee drinks, especially specialty drinks. The report also notes that the younger group pays considerably more for lunch each week which makes sense as only 20 percent of Americans under the age of 30 are married – a far different culture (with expendable income) than the previous generations." } ]

More than that and you run the risk of unpleasant side effects ranging from migraine headaches to irritability, upset stomach, and even muscle tremors.

A single small cup of Starbucks' Blonde Roast coffee, on the other hand, has 270 mg of caffeine.5-Hour Energy Samantha Lee/Business Insider Energy shots might look tiny, but they can pack a surprisingly powerful caffeine punch.

Initial investors were pessimistic about the company's long-term prospects, with the common argument being \"\"people are not going to keep paying $x.xx for just a cup of coffee,\"\" but Starbucks has proved it has staying power and impressive growth. Even though Starbucks' initial public offering (IPO) took place back in 1992, the period after 2010 saw its prices skyrocket. Unsurprisingly, the stock garnered a lot of positive press for its performance. However, there are some real risks facing the Starbucks brand in the future, including global competition, commodity prices and changing dynamics in the retail market. It is not necessarily true that \"\"what goes up must come down,\"\" but there is also no reason to believe Starbucks will continue to grow regardless of market conditions. Investors need to investigate whether a stock is a good buy based on expected future results, not on what occurred in the past.

Of all the moments that Americans consume coffee, only 20% happen in retail stores. That’s a vast opportunity for us. ”Mr. Conway is charged with tapping into that opportunity. Starbucks consumer packaged goods (C. P.

The Seattle-based coffee company ( SBUX) said Tuesday that it would hike prices by an average of 1% in the Northeast and Sunbelt regions, where prices haven't been raised in roughly five years. Starbucks is following the lead of other food companies, including Mc Donald's and Chipotle, which have hiked prices in the past year to cope with rising commodity costs. The company said the average price of a \"\"tall\"\" -- the smallest drink -- brewed beverage will rise by 10 cents in New York. This morning the price hike was already in effect, as caffeine cravers shelled out $2.01 for a cup of coffee, up from $1.91. The coffee house allows for some regional pricing, so the actual cost of your morning habit could vary. But that could easily bump the price of a large -- \"\"venti\"\" -- latte over $4 a cup, not including tip.

The average revenue in 2011 of a Starbuck Store was $1,078,000, up from $1,011,000 in 2010. The average ticket (total purchase) at domestic Starbuck stores in November 2007 was reported at $6.36. In 2008, the average ticket was flat (0.0% change). In 2009, the average ticket declined by 2.0%. In 2010, it increased by 3.0% and, in 2011, it increased again by 2.0%. So my best guess is that the average customer spends $6.55 per visit to Starbucks.4 people found this useful Was this answer useful?
