http://askccg.com/home-health/differences-similarities-between-home-health-agencies-and-nurse-registries-part-2/ | We ’ ve been exploring the differences between home health agencies and nurse registries in this three - part series . In the first installment , we looked at the issues of billing Medicare and Medicaid . In this part , we ’ ll cover the second difference : responsibility for a patient ’ s health . Medicare Conditions of Participation require that the home health agency only accept a patient for treatment based “ on a reasonable expectation that the patient ’ s medical , nursing , and social needs can be met adequately by the agency … ” Also , an agency is required to , in addition to other requirements : maintain a robust quality assurance program designed to ensure that all standard health care practices are implemented and observed ; maintain a group of professional personnel , which must include a physician and a registered nurse , who will meet to review and advise on the agency ’ s provision of services ; and assure that the provision of care is prescribed and supervised by a physician , including regular communication and collaboration with all care providers regarding the patient ’ s condition and A nurse registry is not required – or allowed – to become as intricately involved in a patient ’ s care and to dictate the manner in which that care is provided . Nurse registries do not employ direct care providers ; they contract with independent staff to deliver the care and service needed by the registry ’ s patients . The registry ’ s role is to secure licensed , capable direct care providers , who carry out the services in accordance with the professional standards of their profession , whether medical or quasi - medical . In addition This concludes the second part of our series about the differences between home health agencies and nurse registries . In part three , we will review the last major distinction : that of the qualifying service . Join us next time !

http://askdba.org/weblog/2008/07/automatic-storage-management-asm-faq/ | Automatic Storage Management ( ASM ) FAQ Amit Bansal 5 July , 2008 We have tried to consolidate list of Frequently Asked Questions ( FAQ ) on ASM . Please feel free to ask any other question or contribute to this FAQ by using comment section Frequently Asked Question on ASM 1 ) What is ASM ? Automatic storage Management ( ASM ) is a new type of filesystem which was introduced with Oracle 10g . ASM is recommended filesystem for RAC and Single instance ASM for storing database files . This provides direct I / O to the file and performance is comparable with that provided by RAW Devices . Oracle creates a separate instance for this purpose . 2 ) How do we identify if we are connected to Normal Instance or ASM instance ? Issue following command to identify this < span style = " font - size : small ; font - family : arial , helvetica , sans - serif ; " > SQL> ; show parameter instance_type < / span > < span style = " font - size : small ; font - family : arial , helvetica , sans - serif ; " > NAME TYPE VALUE - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - In case you are connected to ASM instance , it will display value as asm , otherwise it will display value as RDBMS . 3 ) What are Diskgroup s and Failuregroups ? Diskgroup is a terminology used for logical structure which holds the database files . Each Diskgroup consists of Disks / Raw devices where the files are actually stored . Any ASM file is completely contained within a single disk group . However , a disk group might contain files belonging to several databases and a single database can use files from multiple disk groups . Failuregroups are used when using Normal / High Redundancy . They contain the mirrored ASM extents and must be containing different disks and preferably on separate disk controller . 4 ) Can ASM be used as replacement for RAID ? ASM is supposed to stripe the data and also mirror the data ( if Using Normal , High Redundancy ) . So this can be used as a alternative for RAID 0 + 1 solutions 5 ) How does ASM provides Redundancy ? When you create a disk group , you specify an ASM disk group type based on one of the following three redundancy levels : Normal for 2 - way mirroring - When ASM allocates an extent for a normal redundancy file , ASM allocates a primary copy and a secondary copy . ASM chooses the disk on which to store the secondary copy in a different failure group other than the primary copy . High for 3 - way mirroring . In this case the extent is mirrored across 3 disks . External to not use ASM mirroring . This is used if you are using Third party Redundancy mechanism like RAID , Storage arrays . 6 ) Can we change the Redundancy for Diskgroup after its creation . No , we can not modify the redundancy for Diskgroup once it has been created . To alter it we will be required to create a new Diskgroup and move the files to it . This can also be done by restoring full backup on the new Diskgroup . Following metalink note describes the steps Note . 438580 . 1 - How To Move The Database To Different Diskgroup ( Change Diskgroup Redundancy ) 7 ) I am unable to open the ASM instance . What is the reason ? ASM instance does not have open stage . It has got only two options Nomount - This starts the ASM instance Mount - At this stage , Diskgroup defined in ASM_DISKGROUPS parameter are mounted When you try to open the ASM instance , you get following error < span style = " font - size : small ; font - family : arial , helvetica , sans - serif ; " > SQL> ; alter database open ; alter database open * ERROR at line 1 : ORA - 15000 : command disallowed by current instance type < / span > 8 ) Can ASM instance and database ( rdbms ) be on different servers ? ASM instance and Database ( rdbms ) have to be present on same server . Otherwise it will not work . 9 ) Can we see the files stored in the ASM instance using standard unix commands . No , you can not see the files using standard unix commands like ls . You need to use utility called asmcmd to do this . This is present in 10.2 and above . e . g / home / oracle > asmcmd Asmcmd > You can use help command to see the options . < span style = " font - size : small ; font - family : arial , helvetica , sans - serif ; " > Note : - You can use asmcmd for 10.1 database also . For this you can copy the < / span > < span style = " font - size : small ; font - family : arial , helvetica , sans - serif ; " > asmcmdcore and asmcmd file from 10.2 ORACLE_HOME to 10.1 ORACLE_HOME . Else you can download the files from Metalink < / span > < span style = " 10 ) What kind of files can be stored on ASM Diskgroup . You can store the following file types in ASM disk groups : Control files Datafiles , temporary datafiles , and datafile copies SPFILEs Online redo logs , archive logs , and Flashback logs RMAN backups Disaster recovery configurations Change tracking bitmaps Data Pump dumpsets Note : Oracle executables and ASCII files , such as alert logs and trace files , can not be stored in ASM disk groups . 11 ) Can we use ASM for storing Voting Disk / OCR in a RAC instance ? No . You can not use ASM for storing the voting disk and OCR . It is due to the fact that Clusterware starts before ASM instance and it should be able to access these files which is not possible if you are storing it on ASM . You will have to use raw devices or OCFS or any other shared storage . 12 ) Does ASM instance automatically rebalances and takes care of hot spots ? No . This is a myth and ASM does not do it . It will initiate automatic rebalance only when a new disk is added to Diskgroup or we drop a disk from existing Diskgroup . 13 ) What is ASMLIB ? ASMLIB is the support library for the ASM . ASMLIB allows an Oracle database using ASM more efficient and capable access to diskgroups . The purpose of ASMLIB , is to provide an alternative interface to identify and access block devices . Additionally , the ASMLIB API enables storage and operating system vendors to supply extended storage - related features . You can read more about ASMLIB in Note : 359266.1 - FAQ ASMLIB CONFIGURE , VERIFY , TROUBLESHOOT ASMLIB for linux can be downloaded from following link http : / / www . oracle . com / technology / tech / linux / asmlib / index . html 14 ) What is SYSASM role ? Starting from Oracle 11g , SYSASM role can be used to administer the ASM instances . You can continue using SYSDBA role to connect to ASM but it will generate following warning messages at time of startup / shutdown , create Diskgroup / add disk , etc < span style = " font - size : small ; font - family : arial , helvetica , sans - serif ; " > Alert entry WARNING : Deprecated privilege SYSDBA for command ' STARTUP ' < / span > 15 ) How can we copy the files from / to ASM ? You can use RMAN or DBMS_FILE_TRANSFER . COPY_FILE procedure to copy the files to / from ASM from / to Filesystem . Starting from Oracle 11g , you can use cp command in asmcmd to perform the same between ASM Diskgroups and also to OS Filesystem . 16 ) Can we use BCV to clone the ASM Diskgroup on same host ? Diskgroup Cloning is not supported on the same host using BCV . You have no other option to use except RMAN DUPLICATE . You can find more detail on BCV and ASM in below whitepaper http : / / www . oracle . com / technology / products / database / asm / pdf / asm - on - emc - 5_3 . pdf 17 ) Can we edit the ASM Disk header to change the Diskgroup Name ? No . This can not be done . Please find details in http : / / askdba . org / weblog / ? p = 128 18 ) Whats is Kfed ? kfed is a utility which can be used to view the ASM Disk information . Syntax for using it is kfed read devicename Read more about kfed here . 19 ) Can we use block devices for ASM Disks ? Yes . Starting from Oracle Database 10.2 block devices can be used directly for ASM Disks in Linux . This is not true for other Unix based systems where block devices are not supported yet . Along with this it is recommended to use a Device mapping functionality so that disk mapping is preserved after disk failure . This is important when you have devices as / dev / sda , / dev / sdb , / dev / sdc and due to some reason the devices are not detected at next reboot ( say / dev / sdb ) , the system will map the incorrect device ( i.e / dev / sdc will be marked as / dev / sdb ) . You can use following methods for preserving disk names - udev – the role of udev is to provide device persistency and naming consistency . This is especially important for the Oracle Cluster Registry ( OCR ) and Voting disks required by Oracle Clusterware . ASMLIB – ASMLIB will provide device management specifically for ASM disk devices . Refer to following Whitepaper for more details http : / / www . oracle . com / technology / products / database / asm / pdf / device - mapper - udev - crs - asm % 20rh4 . pdf 20 ) Is it mandatory to use disks of same size and characteristics for Diskgroups ? No , it is not mandatory to use the disks of same size and characteristics for Diskgroups though it is a Recommended Practice . Same size disk for Failuregroups in Normal / High redundancy will prevent issues like ORA - 15041 as the file extents needs to be mirrored across the disks . Also as Oracle distributes data based on capacity , so larger disk will have more data stored in it and which will result in higher I / O to disk and eventually can lead to sub - optimal performance . Moreover having disks of different characteristic like varying disk speed can impact the performance . When managing disks with different size and performance capabilities , best practice is to group them into disk groups according to their characteristics . So you can use higher speed disks for your database files while other disks can be part of Diskgroup used for Flash Recovery Area . 21 ) Do we need to install ASM and Oracle Database Software in different ORACLE_HOME ? No . Again installing ASM and Oracle Database Software in different ORACLE_HOME is not mandatory but a best practice . This is useful in cases when we need to have multiple databases using same ASM instance and you need to patch only one of them . E.g You need to apply a CBO patch to one of 10.2 database while your other 10.1 database using different installation does not require it . In this case having a ASM_HOME separate from 10.2 ORACLE_HOME will allow your 10.1 database to keep running . Thus this approach is useful for High Availability . 22 ) What is the maximum size of Disk supported by ASM ? ASM supports disks upto 2Tb , so you need to ensure that lun size should be less then 2Tb . 10 . 2 . 0 . 4 and 11g database will give error if you try to create a diskgroup with ASM disks having disk size > 2Tb . 23 ) I have created Oracle database using DBCA and having a different home for ASM and Oracle Database . I see that listener is running from ASM_HOME . Is it correct ? This is fine . When using different home for ASM , you need to run the listener from ASM_HOME instead of ORACLE_HOME .

http://askdrgil.com/pyroluria-testing/ | You are here : Home What You Need to Know about Pyrrole Disorder What You Need to Know about Pyrrole Disorder The Walsh Protocol is used to treat different conditions . According to the theory , anxiety , depression , schizophrenia , ADD , and behavior issues have different subtypes . A particular diagnosis stems from a different biochemical issue . Each subtype has a different biochemical signature and sometimes different symptoms . To effectively treat your condition , knowing the subtype is crucial . This series explores each of the different subtypes . We want to understand how to identify , test for , and treat based on your subtype . The five major subtypes are : Under - methylation Low Folate Copper Overload Pyrrole Disorder ( this page ) Heavy Metal Toxicity As you can see from the list , one of the subtypes is pyrrole disorder or pyroluria . What is pyroluria ? What symptoms does it create ? What causes pyroluria ? How do we determine if someone has it ? And finally , how does one treat it ? What is Pyroluria ? Pyroluria or pyrrole disorder is a sign of oxidative stress . Some clinicians suggest that there is a problem with hemoglobin synthesis and breakdown . A byproduct called kryptopyrrole is produced . This molecule shows up in the urine . Kryptopyrrole makes zinc and pyridoxine ( vitamin B6 ) unavailable by binding them . With a decrease in zinc and vitamin B6 in the body , people ca n ’ t handle stress well and make poor choices . I believe that we all have access to an innate wisdom that allows us to connect with a higher source . Why Do People Get Pyroluria ? What causes that is unknown . Some people believe it is a genetic condition . Others believe that stress and trauma cause pyroluria . There is some evidence that both chronic infection and / or environmental toxicity play a role in some cases . Of course , any and all may be true . Pyroluria is most likely a sign of oxidative stress . Oxidative stress is a condition characterized by too many undesirable reactions in the body . Oxidation refers to chemical reactions that transfer electrons . The body uses metals such as zinc , copper , iron , manganese and others to transfer these electrons . Heavy metals such as cadmium , lead , or mercury can disrupt these reactions . This may increase the oxidation in the body . This can create free radicals that start to disrupt normal biological processes . This increases inflammation . We need some oxidative reactions What are the signs of Pyrrole Disorder ? The signs of pyroluria are diverse . Below is a list of the symptoms that may appear in pyrrole disorder . The effects of pyrrole disorder can be mild , moderate or severe . Most patients only exhibit a handful of these symptoms . I ’ ve seen people who only had 1 or 2 of the symptoms and still had high pyrrole levels . In most cases , patients have at least two of the following : poor stress control , nervousness , anxiety , mood swings , severe inner tension , episodic anger ( an explosive temper ) Patients with elevated pyrroles have a corresponding drop in serotonin and GABA . This may account for the poor stress control . Some patients may not have any psychological symptoms but still test positive for urinary pyrroles . Given that pyroluria is a sign of oxidative stress , it may lead to other problems such as Alzheimer ’ s or Parkinson ’ s . How is Pyroluria Testing Performed ? Pyroluria testing consists of measuring kryptopyrroles in urine . There are a few labs in the United States that do pyroluria testing . The lab I use is Direct Healthcare Associates ( DHA ) . I have found them to be helpful over the years and they keep their prices down . ( At the time of this writing it is $ 80 US for a test . ) This test is complex . The sample must be frozen and then shipped . Interpretation of the results should be performed by a qualified clinician . I have seen many cases Pyroluria testing can confirm the diagnosis and may be useful to track treatment . For many patients , there is relief and a corresponding decrease in pyrrole levels with treatment . Other people get some relief but not complete relief . What to do ? A second urine test can reveal if pyrrole levels are dropping . If they are n ’ t , the treatment may need altering . If the numbers are dropping but symptoms are n ’ t changing , there may be a separate issue that needs treating . It could be a different subtype which How to treat Pyroluria ? Treatment for pyroluria is simple . Since the kryptopyrroles are grabbing zinc and pyroxidine , those need replacing . I give patients zinc and vitamin B6 or P5P , the active form of B6 . This does n ’ t reverse the condition but it does improve symptoms . I ’ ve observed patients improving after two to three weeks . In some cases , all symptoms disappear . Some of my patients though have other issues so we will treat that too . There are other supplements that I add depending upon the case . In general , omega Pyrrole disorder is likely more common than we have believed . I see patients with positive kryptopyrroles and / or very low zinc in my practice all the time . These people not only have difficulty with stress . They ca n ’ t access their innate wisdom easily . This causes them to make poor choices . Start making better choices in your life . Let me help you balance your physiology to allow for that to happen . Call today to schedule an appointment to decrease your health risks . | [

http://askthedentist.com/how-e-cigarettes-affect-oral-health/ | Conditions Basics For Kids Product Reviews Diet & Nutrition At the Dentist DIY & Recipes Oral & Overall Health No Smoke , But Plenty of Fire : How Do E - Cigarettes Affect Oral Health ? E - cigarettes are said to be safer than regular cigarettes since they produce an aerosol instead of smoke . Since nicotine is delivered , there are large oral health implications for users of e - cigarettes . Updated on January 7 , 2019 by Mark Burhenne , DDS E - Cigarettes Question : I was never really a smoker , but I ’ ve used an e - cigarette for about two years , although I hardly put any nicotine in it these days . ( Dropping from 18 mg to probably 4 - 6 mg the past year ) . I ’ ve always had healthy teeth , but recently realized that my gums are receding , especially on the side where I “ vape ” from . Using an e - cigarette has n ’ t seemed to impact my teeth at all , but is it unhealthy for gums ? Answer : It ’ s easy to see why e - cigarettes seem like a fantastic alternative to regular cigarettes . E - cigarettes do n ’ t contain tobacco , although they do contain nicotine derived from the tobacco plant , and they do n ’ t produce smoke — instead they are battery - powered and work by producing an aerosol that you “ vape ” — so you can use them anywhere . The problem is , e - cigarettes have not been fully studied . In 2014 , the US Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) concluded that “ e - cigarettes have not been fully studied , so consumers currently do n ’ t know the potential risks of e - cigarettes when used as intended , how much nicotine or other potentially harmful chemicals are being inhaled during use , or whether there are any benefits associated with using these products . ” Clinical studies are in progress at the moment to understand e - cigarettes ’ impact on health — so until these are out , there ’ s a lack of definitive research on the health effects and still much we ca n ’ t know for sure . I can say that e - cigarettes can still cause gum recession and other oral health problems because they still deliver nicotine , even if it ’ s in smaller doses than traditional cigarettes . What Are the Effects of Nicotine on Gum Health ? Studies have shown that nicotine — whether delivered via traditional cigarette or other means — does harm to the mouth , gums and tongue . A report published in the Journal of the Indian Society of Periodontology has stated that nicotine may contribute significantly to the development of gingivitis and periodontitis , which can cause bad breath and inflammation throughout the body . Here ’ s how nicotine can impact your oral health : Nicotine Causes Gum Recession Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor , meaning it reduces the amount of blood that can flow through your veins . Without sufficient blood flow , the gums do not get the oxygen and nutrients they need to stay healthy . Nicotine chokes tissues in the mouth from the blood it needs to survive , causing death of the gum tissues . Nicotine Masks Symptoms of Gum Disease “ Almost two years vaping and my gum disease has dramatically improved . ” “ I just got back from the dentist and he said my gum health has actually improved since I started using e - cigarettes . ” You might see reports like these in a lot of online forums . That ’ s because nicotine can hide the symptoms of gum disease from your dentist , making it harder to be diagnosed . When you have gum disease , it ’ s the increased blood flow to the gums that tips you off or tips off your dentist to the fact that you have gum disease . The gums are irritated and swell with blood , and when you floss or even brush , they bleed . This fools everyone — both the dentist and yourself — into thinking that things are going well in your mouth . If the progression of gum disease ca n ’ t be observed or diagnosed , then things go south without treatment . Even longterm chewing of nicotine gum can cause these problems . Nicotine Causes Bad Breath As a vasoconstrictor , nicotine also inhibits your body ’ s ability to produce saliva . Not enough saliva can leave you susceptible to bacteria buildup , dry mouth , and tooth decay . Nicotine Intensifies Grinding Nicotine is also a stimulant that fires up the muscles , making you grind your teeth more intensely if you ’ re already a grinder — and might even prompt you to start grinding your teeth even if you were n ’ t a grinder before . My Recommendation If you ’ re thinking about using e - cigarettes or you already use them , you ’ ve got to watch out for the signs of gum disease . But how are you going to watch out for the tell - tale sign of gum disease — bleeding gums — if nicotine masks bleeding gums via vasoconstriction ? Since nicotine masks the symptoms of gum disease from both you and your dentist , you ’ ll have to be extra vigilant about gum disease prevention . To diagnose gum disease , as well as measure its progression , your dentist will take something called a pocket reading . “ Pockets ” are like the “ moat ” around each of your teeth , which is naturally present . It ’ s the space between the gum line ( where you see your gums and teeth meet when you look in the mirror ) and where the tooth and gum attach a little further down ( see the illustration below ) . Deeper pockets indicate a breakdown of the attachment of the gums to the teeth . Image via healthsnap . ca Visit your dentist every three months to monitor your pocket readings . Your likelihood of having gum disease is greater as long as you ’ re using nicotine and because nicotine masks the tell - tale signs , a frequency of every three months is necessary in order to prevent tooth loss , bone loss , and gum recession . The best and most convenient option here , and I know it ’ s hard to hear , is to eliminate the nicotine habit .

http://askthelawyer.federaltimes.com/2009/06/29/how-to-handle-contractor-complaints/ | How to handle contractor complaints 2 By on June 29 , 2009 Uncategorized Many federal managers are responsible for managing a workforce that consists of both federal employees and contractors . When this happens , federal managers typically have questions about just how much management authority they have over their contracted employees . When issues arise in the workplace , it can cause concern about the federal manager ’ s jurisdiction in managing the complaint — especially when it comes to employment discrimination complaints lodged by a contracted employee against a member of the federal workforce . The Equal Employment Opportunity ( EEO ) rules and regulations applicable to the federal workforce do not usually transfer to contracted employees . The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ( EEOC ) typically has no jurisdiction over complaints of discrimination filed by contractors . Instead , contracted employees who are filing a complaint turn to the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs ( OFCCP ) , which administers and enforces equal employment opportunity laws for private - sector employees who enter contractor agreements with the federal government . Contracted employees who feel their company has discriminated against them can file a complaint with OFCCP . OFCCP has the authority to evaluate and investigate a contractor ’ s personnel policies and procedures . This can be done through various methods , including conference , counseling and mediation . Ultimately , OFCCP has the deciding authority in whether to terminate a contractor ’ s agreement with the government if the private company continues to fail to comply with the EEO provisions of the contract . OFCCP is purely private - sector oriented and has no authority to investigate unfair employment This process may make it seem as though federal managers are not accountable for complaints lodged against federal workers by contracted employees . This is hardly the case . If an agency or manager exerts too much control over a contracted employee , the contractor can be deemed an employee of the federal agency for purposes of accessing the federal EEO system and he or she could be granted all appeal rights before the EEOC and Merit Systems Protection Board . The EEOC has final authority in determining whether a federal agency should be held accountable as an employer . Factors used to determine who qualifies as a federal employee include : * The extent to which the agency controls and manages the nature of the work performed by the employee . * The level of supervision provided by the agency in the contractor ’ s work . * The skill required in the particular occupation . * Whether the agency furnishes the equipment used and the place of work . * The length of time the individual has worked for the contractor versus the agency . EEOC places the burden on the agency to show a contractor is not entitled to access its EEO process . EEOC has used the Common Law of Agency Test in a number of recent decisions to determine whether an individual is an employee of the agency . In some cases , EEOC may determine that an individual is actually in a joint employment relationship and is working for both an agency and his private employer . Managers should exercise caution when discussing performance or disciplining contracted employees . Remember the general rule that the contractor has authority over the employee , not you . One of the best tactics to resolve the issue while protecting the agency ’ s liability is to approach the contractor manager of the contracted employee instead of going straight to the employee . When questions arise regarding just whom the employee is working for , I recommend referring to the original contract agreement between your agency and the contracted firm . It likely holds some key language or a specific provision that will assist in determining who is responsible for the employee .

E - mail your legal questions to askthelawyer @ federaltimes . com About Author 2 Comments roy on November 27 , 2010 6 : 17 pm My previous employeer , a provider of services to the US Government , recently canned me and within a short time before several other people over the age of 40 and replacing us with younger people . I lost my job after disclosing that I intended to file an EEOC complaint 20 to 30 minutes after the statement to my boss . Which in it ’ s own is illegal . I have filed the EEOC complaint , but I also know that the company is being sued for many other EEOC situations that occurred years before I arrived . I would like to stop their behavior by removing or halting their government contracts until their actions are becoming of a company dealing with our government . How or who may I contact within the federal government ? Noting of course my charge was filed with the Federal EEOC and not the state . Reply roy on November 27 , 2010 6 : 21 pm With the previous information provided about discrimination , I would rather have my job back then 10 million in cash … Why , I loved the job , and lived and breathed the company before the new “ younger and bigoted ” management took over .

http://asm-air.com/airconditioning/air-conditioner-freezing-up/ | Why Is My Air Conditioner Freezing Up ? How to Fix Your Iced Up Air Conditioner We are often asked the question , why is my air conditioner freezing up ? Figuring out what is causing your air conditioner to ice up can be frustrating , but it is not an uncommon problem . If you ’ ve read any of our articles , then you know that we are a small , U.S. Veteran - Owned company in Southern California , and pride ourselves on giving honest , straight answers . In fact , most of our posts address either one of two things : first , common air conditioning problems that people have , or second , the questions we get asked most frequently . There are a number of reasons for an air conditioner to freeze up , and it really does n ’ t matter whether it is a window AC unit or a central air conditioner – the causes of , and solutions to , an air conditioner that keeps freezing up are exactly the same . It is important to address this issue – a frozen air conditioner will not only cool improperly , but can actually be severely damaged if it keeps freezing up . If you have this problem , you have to address it immediately – it wo n ’ t solve itself . In this article , we will tell you what causes a central air conditioner freeze up , and what you can do to fix it . Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available . Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video . TELL ME MORE The Joule - Thomson Effect – How Your Air Conditioner Freezes Up Standby for a small high school physics lesson . We do n ’ t need to go too in depth , so bear with me , but understanding this principle is the key to figuring out why your air conditioner is freezing up . The Joule - Thomson Effect is a principle in thermodynamics which states that if everything else is kept constant , then as a gas expands , its pressure decreases , and its temperature will also decrease . Likewise , as a gas is compressed , its temperature will increase This is because what we sense as temperature is really just a measurement of the amount of energy a molecule has . Simply put , if air molecules are bouncing around rapidly , then you would feel this air as hot . If air molecules are moving around slowly and sluggishly , then you would feel this air as cold . It ’ s that simple . So what ? This is important to understand because it forms the basis for how your air conditioner works . Your system works by allowing your evaporator coil to expand refrigerant inside of it , causing the coil to cool rapidly . As this rapidly cooled coil comes into contact with your home ’ s air ( which your air conditioner blows over this now cooled coil ) , the refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air inside of your home . This newly heated refrigerant is then transported outside of your home where it is compressed , causing it to heat up and transfer the heat that was once inside of your home to the outside air . The cycle then repeats itself over and over again , cooling your home in the process . For more information on the Joule - Thomson Effect , visit this page on Wiki : Joule - Thomson Effect Why is this important ? Well because this effect is used to allow your air conditioner to cool the air inside of your house . But any time you change part of the equation , you might throw the system out of whack . So to keep this simple , your air conditioner is freezing up because something has altered your system in such a way that it is cooling your evaporator coil more than it should , causing the unit to freeze up . Now that you know how , what you have to do is figure out why your air conditioner is freezing up , and to do this you have to figure out what it was that threw your AC system out of whack . We will do this in the next section . If you want to delve more into how exactly it is that your air conditioner cools air , take a look at : The Joule - Thomson Effect – Why Your Air Conditioner is Freezing Up , or just watch the video below : Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available . Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video . Why is My Air Conditioner Freezing Up ? Now that you have a basic idea of how your air conditioner uses expansion and compression to heat and cool its Freon ( what is Freon ? ) , you can figure out why your central air conditioner is icing up . Your air conditioner can freeze up for a variety of reasons , so we will discuss them from the most common to some of the more rare causes of ice up . All of these causes are rooted in the Joule - Thomson Effect discussed above , so if you skipped past it , I ’ d recommend that you take a quick look or just watch the video above . Simply put , your air conditioner is freezing up because something is either causing the Freon in your system to expand more than it is designed to , which in turn is making your coils colder than normal , or something is preventing the air in your house from transferring its heat into your system . Either way , this causes your evaporator coil to drop below freezing and your air conditioner to freeze up . Here are some common causes : 1 . Insufficient air flow across your air conditioner ’ s evaporator coil can cause it to freeze up . In a split air conditioner ( the most common type – see : What is a Split Air Conditioner ? ) , our air conditioner is designed to drop the temperature of your house by taking heat from it . If your air conditioner is not properly blowing your inside air over the evaporator coil , then this heat exchange can not take place and the Freon that should be removing heat from your home is not . Over time , its temperature will continue to drop and your air conditioner can freeze up . 2 . If your air conditioner is low on refrigerant , then your air conditioner can freeze up . This is due to lower pressure inside the system itself . This is because now there is less Freon in your system , but it is still being forced to expand the same amount – more expansion equals a cooler temperature . As your air conditioner ’ s evaporator coil drops below freezing , the moisture in your air will freeze as it comes into contact with your coil causing it to ice up . 3 . Air conditioners are designed to function in a very specific temperature range . If you are running your air conditioner when the outside air is below around 62 degrees , then the pressures inside of your system will drop and this can cause a freeze up of your central air conditioner . 4 . Mechanical failures can cause your air conditioner to freeze up . If there is a kink in your refrigerant lines , a blower fan that is not running or is dinged and out of balance , or a clogged filter dryer ? These too can change the pressure in your system and make your central air conditioner freeze up . But which is it , and how do I fix it ? How to troubleshoot an air conditioner that is freezing up will be discussed in the next section . However , if you ’ ve already determined that it ’ s time to replace , make sure that you do n ’ t overpay . This program will save you money , and accept or reject bids with confidence : SHOW ME HOW MUCH A NEW AC SHOULD COST How Do You Fix a Frozen Air Conditioner ? AC Troubleshooting . Just because your air conditioner is freezing up does not mean that you have to call your HVAC contractor ! Some contractors will tell you that they are the only ones that should touch your AC unit ( I have never believed that ) , and if you do n ’ t feel comfortable around your air conditioner then you should definitely call out a contractor . Either way , the first thing you need to do is turn your air conditioner off and allow it to defrost . Ice can harm your air conditioner ! Next , if you do feel comfortable and if you have even a basic touch of the handy - man bug , then there are a few things that you should take a look at before you call your local air conditioning repair service . In order to troubleshoot a frozen air conditioner , I ’ d recommend you do the following steps in order I would start by ensuring that you never run your air conditioner when the temperature is below 62 degrees outside . If you are , then stop it and see if this fixes the problem . This is the simplest thing to fix but can cause big problems . Next , if your air conditioner is freezing up from restricted air flow , then you need to rule this out – the best way to rule this out is by checking the following : 1 . Check your air conditioner ’ s air filter , if your AC is freezing up . This is one of the most common causes for restricted air flow through your air conditioner . You should be using a high quality air filter and replacing it every 2 to 3 months . If your air conditioning filter gets clogged , then the restricted air flow can cause your system ’ s temperature to drop below optimal levels , causing your air conditioner to freeze up . For more information on which filters to choose and how often to change them , see : Air Conditioning Filter Change Do Electrostatic Air Filters Work ? 2 . Check your evaporator coil if your air conditioner is freezing up . A dirty evaporator coil ( the inside one ) can cause a lack of airflow across it , dropping the temperature and causing your air conditioner to freeze up . It is also a recipe for several other unpleasant problems with your AC , like Dirty Sock Syndrome . I would recommend cleaning your evaporator coil as your next step in troubleshooting an iced up air conditioner . You can learn about how to do that in this article : Dirty Sock Syndrome – Is it Dangerous ? 3 . The next thing to check is a restriction in air flow from your ductwork . Start by opening all air conditioning registers ( the vents in your ceiling ) . Any restriction in air flow can cause your air conditioner to freeze over , so make sure that you also inspect your ductwork for leaks , bends or disconnected portions . To do this , you will likely have to go into your attic . Be careful – if you ’ ve never walked in your attic before , then ask a friend who knows how to and make sure you only walk on the joists ! 4 . Check for extremely dirty ductwork if your air conditioner is freezing up ( as in so dirty that it blocks air flow – a little dust is okay ) . If all of your ductwork is in order , then remove one of your registers and look inside . I am not a big fan of having your air ducts cleaned , but it can be necessary at times if you or the previous owner did n ’ t properly use high quality air filters . Personally , I ’ d just have the ductwork redone – cleaning your ducts does n ’ t really work that well , and can damage your ductwork . For more information on whether you need your ducts cleaned , try : Should I Have My Air Ducts Cleaned ? You might also be interested in : Should I Repair or Replace My Air Conditioner ? If your air conditioner is still freezing up after the above steps have been taken , then I ’ m afraid you ’ ve done all that you can in the do - it - yourself category . Call out an HVAC contractor . The next likely causes are a low pressure system due to low refrigerant levels , or too much refrigerant , which can only be recharged by a licensed HVAC technician ( at least where we are in Santa Clarita ) , or it is also possible that you have a problem with your blower fan or The Best Time of Year to Buy an Air Conditioner .

http://asm-air.com/airconditioning/seer-vs-eer-what-is-seer-what-is-eer/ | SEER vs EER - How to Use SEER and EER to Compare AC Units We often get asked questions about SEER ratings , but those that have done a little research know that EER is also a useful means of measuring an air conditioner ’ s efficiency , which leads one to ask the question , when looking at SEER vs EER , which do you choose ? Those of you who read our articles regularly , know that we are a small , U.S. Veteran - Owned HVAC company in Southern California , and pride ourselves in giving people honest , straight answers to their questions . In short , we are unbiased . But when it comes to SEER vs EER , there are some very specific instances in which to use each . Both SEER and EER are measurements of an air conditioner ’ s energy efficiency and are given as a value ranging from around 8 ( such as SEER - 8 ) higher an air conditioner ’ s SEER or EER rating is then the more energy efficient the unit . In this article , we will explain what SEER is , what EER is , and finally when to use SEER vs EER . SEER vs EER - What is SEER , and What is EER What is SEER ? Before tackling the SEER vs EER debate , let ’ s take a look at each individually , starting with SEER . SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio and is the most common way to evaluate an air conditioner ’ s efficiency . Now it is important to understand that this is only a measure of cooling power , and applies to air conditioning . An air conditioner ’ s SEER rating is the ratio of the cooling output of an HVAC unit over a typical cooling season ( measured in British Thermal Units , or BTU s ) , divided by the energy consumed in Watt - Hours . It is the average over a cooling season , and is calculated using a constant indoor temperature and varying outdoor temperatures ranging from the 60 ’ s to over 100 degrees . SEER also uses average US household energy expenditures in its calculation . A unit ’ s SEER value is displayed on its Energy Guide Tag ( left ) as a number ranging from around 8 to 30 , although right now there are few air conditioning units more efficient than about SEER - 23 . So for instance , an air conditioner with a value of SEER - 23 will be far more efficient than a If you are trying to find out what a good SEER rating is , or if it is worth it to upgrade your SEER value , also see : What is a Good SEER Rating , and is it Worth the Extra Money ? For more about SEER , check out Wiki : Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio . Do You Live in Santa Clarita , California or Seattle , Washington ? The Problem With SEER . SEER can be misleading . What people often do n ’ t realize is that SEER is a ratio that only applies to a very specific set of test parameters which cover a pre - set temperature range . The problem with this is that when SEER is calculated it is calculated across the same universal range , regardless of where the person who is purchasing the air conditioner lives . Ask yourself , when was the last time that it was 65 degrees in the summer if you live in Santa Clarita , California ? Probably a lot less likely than if you live in Lake Arrowhead or worse yet , Seattle , Washington . So although SEER is a universal measure of efficiency , it can be misleading in the sense that the average temperature range in Santa Clarita is far different from the average summer temperatures in Bozeman , Montana , but yet the same SEER rating would be on the tag in each . How to Calculate Your Equivalent SEER Rating for Your Climate Zone . As a guideline , SEER is calculated across a wide temperature range but the average of that range is about 83 degrees . If 83 degrees is the average summer temperature for your area , then an AC unit ’ s SEER value is spot on for your home ( and I envy you ) . If your area is hotter , however , then subtract 2 points from a unit ’ s SEER rating for every ten degrees above 83 that is the average temperature for your area . For instance , in Santa Clarita where average summer high 93 – 83 = 10 + 10 = 2 SEER points SEER - 14 rating – 2 SEER points = SEER - 12 rating , or the equivalent SEER rating calculated for your climate area . How Important is SEER Rating ? After calculating the equivalent SEER rating for your area , you can take a look at how much energy a high SEER rating can save you : As you can see , paying for an air conditioner with a SEER value of SEER - 23 over the lifetime of the unit will save you about $ 8,500 in electricity costs over the lifetime of your unit as compared to an older unit that has a rating of SEER - 8 . Since 2006 , the Federal Government requires a minimum SEER rating of SEER - 13 for all new air conditioners , but an older AC might be lower . Lennox has a useful calculator that will tell you how much money you can save by upgrading to a newer air conditioner from an older SEER - 10 unit . This calculator is only an estimate , of course , and one thing I do n ’ t like about it is that you ca n ’ t enter in a starting SEER value – it instead assumes that your start value is SEER - 10 . Just enter in the new SEER value and it will calculate your 5 , 10 and 15 - year energy - expense savings : Lennox SEER Energy Calculator . For more information on how to lower your air conditioning costs , try : How to Lower Your Electric Bill in the Summer . What is EER ? Again , before tackling the question of when you should use SEER or EER , you need to know what each of them is . EER stands for Energy Efficiency Ratio , and is actually an older means of calculating energy efficiency than SEER , having been used since 1975 . Like SEER , an air conditioner ’ s EER rating is a means of measuring an air conditioner ’ s efficiency , but where SEER is a means of measuring seasonal efficiency ratings , an HVAC system ’ s EER is more of a constant . Simply put , EER is more of an engineering number , than a marketing number , and will probably be used by an HVAC technician . EER values are also often encountered when looking at smaller window AC units for which calculating a SEER value would be impractical . EER is calculated using a constant outside temperature of 95 degrees , a constant inside temperature of 80 degrees and a humidity level of 50 % . No seasonal temperature changes are factored into a unit ’ s EER rating . The Advantages of an Air Conditioner ’ s EER Rating . If you read the section on a unit ’ s SEER value , then you know that SEER is a good approximation of a unit ’ s efficiency if the average summer temperature in your area is around 83 degrees , but can be misleading if you live in Southern California or the South . Conversely , an EER value is an objective , set standard that can be used to directly compare two air conditioning units without worrying about the seasonal changes in your area . For instance , how a SEER - 21 rated air conditioner operates during the summer in Bozeman , Montana is far different from how it will perform in a Santa Clarita summer . A unit ’ s EER rating can also be used to directly compare a Carrier Infinity Series air conditioner to a Lennox Signature Series , for instance , but in short , EER is a more technical , objective means of rating an air conditioner ’ s efficiency , but does n ’ t take into account seasonal changes . EER is best used if you live in an arid climate that has high average temperatures . If used in more moderate climates , the numbers wo n ’ t accurately reflect your energy bills over a year as they wo n ’ t account for seasonal changes . Now that you know about energy ratings , you can start shopping for more energy efficient air conditioners . For more information on the energy efficient Carrier Infinity - 21 Series or the Amana - 18 , check out : Carrier Infinity vs Performance Series Air Conditioners . Amana vs Goodman Air Conditioners . When to Use SEER vs EER So now that we know the differences between SEER vs EER , we can take a look at when to use each . Like we discussed , SEER is a great way to get an idea of how a unit operates throughout a cooling season , and a unit ’ s EER is an objective way to measure an air conditioner ’ s efficiency , but here ’ s when to use each : When to Use SEER SEER is the most common . SEER can be used to compare one AC unit to another directly and is most commonly encountered when looking at large , central air conditioning units . However , it should not be used to measure how efficiently your new air conditioner will operate or how much money you can expect to save without making a calculation . This is because , as discussed above , a SEER rating is only a rating based on a standard test across a specific seasonal temperature range . As such , use the calculation in the SEER section above to first figure out what your equivalent SEER rating would be for your climate zone , then make the best decision for your area . Once you ’ ve found the equivalent SEER rating for your area , then you can easily calculate your expected energy used and money saved . Simply put , SEER is a means of estimating how much energy your new unit will use in a year , accounting for seasonal changes . When to Use EER EER ratings are more commonly encountered with smaller window mounted air conditioners , but are being listed more frequently on energy tags . An air conditioner ’ s EER rating is best used to objectively compare air conditioners or to do any type of load or engineering calculation . Because it is not diluted by additional inputs , the EER value , in my opinion , is the most accurate way to compare two different HVAC units . But remember , I ’ m a contractor , not a homeowner . You have to realize that the EER value will not give you an accurate representation of your energy bills over a typical cooling season . As such , EER is more effective if you live in an arid climate that is always hot , or if you are making some kind of calculation . Do n ’ t Overpay for Your New AC For those of you who are really concerned about choosing the right SEER value and AC unit for the job , this online site can save you money , and help you avoid the tricks and traps of predatory contractors : SHOW ME THE IDEAL SEER FOR MY HOME Which is Better for a Homeowner , SEER or EER ? To be perfectly honest , it can be hard to even find a central air conditioner ’ s EER value without digging into some manuals . Most of the time , EER is used on smaller , window air conditioners where using SEER would be impractical . Some manufacturers will note it , but it is used far less frequently than a SEER value . However , they are being listed more frequently , so you might be able to find them ! In the end , the most important part is to compare apples to apples , and oranges to oranges . So , when shopping for a new air conditioner , compare EER to EER , or SEER to SEER . Never compare the EER of one unit to the SEER value of another ; they do n ’ t correlate ! In general , if you are a homeowner then I would use the SEER value as a means of comparing units to one another if you live in a more moderate climate , and I ’ d use a unit ’ s EER value if you are looking at a window AC unit or if you live in an arid climate like the Mojave Desert . Final SEER vs EER Tips : At the end of the day , SEER and EER can be very useful for comparing different air conditioning units to one another , but are not the end of the road to increasing efficiency and decreasing energy costs . More important than SEER or EER would be an HVAC unit ’ s size , and whether it is the proper size for your house .

http://aspenhistory.org/aspen-history/the-mining-boom-1879-1893/ | The Mining Boom : 1879 – 1893 In 1879 the first prospectors arrived in what would soon become Aspen and determined the area contained large deposits of silver ore . For the next 14 years Aspen ’ s fortunes rose as it eventually produced 1 / 6th of the nation ’ s and 1 / 16th of the world ’ s silver . 1879 Hayden Geological Survey reports are released in fall of 1878 indicating promising geologic formations in the Roaring Fork Valley for the presence of silver prompting the first prospectors to cross difficult mountain passes , explore the area for silver and lay claims on what will become one of the richest silver lodes in history .

Q9000 series : Refers to ANSI / ISO / ASQ Q9000 series of standards , which is the verbatim American adoption of the 2000 edition of the ISO 9000 series of standards . Qualitician : Someone who functions as a quality practitioner and a quality technician . Quality : A subjective term for which each person or sector has its own definition . In technical usage , quality can have two meanings : 1 ) the characteristics of a product or service that bear on its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs ; 2 ) a product or service free of deficiencies . According to Joseph Juran , quality means “ fitness for use ” ; according to Philip Crosby , it means “ conformance to requirements . ” Quality assurance / quality control ( QA / QC ) : Two terms that have many interpretations because of the multiple definitions for the words “ assurance ” and “ control . ” For example , “ assurance ” can mean the act of giving confidence , the state of being certain or the act of making certain ; “ control ” can mean an evaluation to indicate needed corrective responses , the act of guiding or the state of a process in which the variability is attributable to a constant system of chance causes . ( For a detailed discussion on the multiple definitions , see ANSI / ISO / ASQ A3534 - 2 , Statistics — Vocabulary and Symbols — Statistical Quality Control . ) One definition of quality assurance is : all the planned and systematic activities implemented within the quality system that can be demonstrated to provide confidence that a product or service will fulfill requirements for quality . One definition for quality control is : the operational techniques and activities used to fulfill requirements for quality . Often , however , “ quality assurance ” and “ quality control ” are used interchangeably , referring to the actions performed to ensure the quality of a product , service or process . Quality audit : A systematic , independent process of gathering objective evidence to determine whether audit criteria are being met . Audits are based on a sample and are independent of the system , process or product being audited , unlike verification activities , which are part of a process . Quality circle : A quality improvement or self - improvement study group composed of a small number of employees ( 10 or fewer ) and their supervisor . Quality circles originated in Japan , where they are called quality control circles . Quality control : See “ quality assurance / quality control . ” Quality costs : The total costs of quality - related activities . Generally considered to be the sum of prevention , appraisal , internal and external failure costs . Quality engineering : The analysis of a manufacturing system at all stages to maximize the quality of the process itself and the products it produces . Quality Excellence for Suppliers of Telecommunications ( QuEST ) Forum : A partnership of telecommunications suppliers and service providers . The QuEST Forum developed TL 9000 ( see listing ) . Quality function deployment ( QFD ) : A structured method in which customer needs or expectations are translated into appropriate technical requirements for each stage of product development and production . The QFD process is often referred to as listening to the voice of the customer . Quality loss function : A parabolic approximation of the quality loss that occurs when a quality characteristic deviates from its target value . The quality loss function is expressed in monetary units : the cost of deviating from the target increases quadratically the farther the quality characteristic moves from the target . The formula used to compute the quality loss function depends on the type of quality characteristic being used . The quality loss function was first introduced in this form by Genichi Taguchi . Quality management ( QM ) : Managing activities and resources of an organization to achieve objectives and prevent nonconformances . Quality management system ( QMS ) : A formal system that documents the structure , processes , roles , responsibilities and procedures required to achieve effective quality management . Quality plan : Documented information that provides the activities or methods to be taken to achieve objectives and meet specified requirements . Quality policy : A documented statement of commitment or intent to be implemented to achieve quality . Quality rate : See “ first pass yield . ” Quality score chart : A chart for evaluating the stability of a process . The quality score is the weighted sum of the count of events of various classifications in which each classification is assigned a weight . Quality tool : An instrument or technique to support and improve the activities of quality management and improvement . Quality trilogy : A three - pronged approach to managing for quality . The three legs are quality planning ( developing the products and processes required to meet customer needs ) , quality control ( meeting product and process goals ) and quality improvement ( achieving unprecedented levels of performance ) . Queue time : The time a product spends in a line awaiting the next design , order processing or fabrication step . Quick changeover : The ability to change tooling and fixtures rapidly ( usually within minutes ) so multiple products can be run on the same machine . Quincunx : A tool that creates frequency distributions . Beads tumble over numerous horizontal rows of pins , which force the beads to the right or left . After a random journey , the beads are dropped into vertical slots . After many beads are dropped , a frequency distribution results . Quincunxes are often used in classrooms to simulate a manufacturing process . The quincunx was invented by English scientist Francis Galton in the 1890s . | [

Looking for more on the PDCA model ? Try Plan - Do - Study - Act ( PDSA ) Plus QTools ™ Training : Plan - Do - Study - Act Plan - Do - Study - Act plus QTools TM Quality Glossary Definition : PDCA Cycle Also called : PDCA , Plan – Do – Study – Act ( PDSA ) cycle , Deming cycle , Shewhart cycle The Plan – Do – Check – Act cycle ( Figure 1 ) is a four - step model for carrying out change . Just as a circle has no end , the PDCA cycle should be repeated again and again for continuous improvement . The Plan - Do - Check - Act cycle is considered a project planning tool Figure 1 : Plan - do - check - act cycle When Should You Use the PDCA Cycle ? Use the PDCA cycle when : Starting a new improvement project Developing a new or improved design of a process , product or service Defining a repetitive work process Pplanning data collection and analysis in order to verify and prioritize problems or root causes Implementing any change Working toward continuous improvement The Plan – Do – Check – Act Procedure Plan : Recognize an opportunity and plan a change . Do : Test the change . Carry out a small - scale study . Check : Review the test , analyze the results and identify what you ’ ve learned . Act : Take action based on what you learned in the study step . If the change did not work , go through the cycle again with a different plan . If you were successful , incorporate what you learned from the test into wider changes . Use what you learned to plan new improvements , beginning the cycle again . Plan – Do – Check – Act Example The Pearl River , NY School District , a 2001 recipient of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award , uses the PDCA cycle as a model for defining most of their work processes , from the boardroom to the classroom . The PDCA model is the basic structure for the district ’ s : Overall strategic planning Needs analysis Curriculum design and delivery Staff goal - setting and evaluation Provision of student services and support services Classroom instruction Figure 2 shows their “ A+ Approach to Classroom Success . ” This is a continuous cycle of designing curriculum and delivering classroom instruction . Improvement is not a separate activity – it is built into the work process . Figure 2 : Plan – do – check – act example Plan The A+ Approach begins with a “ plan ” step , which the school district calls “ analyze . ” In this step , students ’ needs are analyzed by examining a range of data available in Pearl River ’ s electronic data “ warehouse . ” The data reviewed includes everything from grades to performance on standardized tests . Data can be analyzed for individual students or stratified by grade , gender or any other subgroup . Because PDCA does not specify how to analyze data , a separate data analysis process ( Figure 3 ) is used here Figure 3 : Pearl River : analysis process Do The A+ Approach continues with two “ do ” steps : The “ Align ” step asks what national and state standards require and how they will be assessed . Teaching staff also plans curricula by looking at what is taught at earlier and later grade levels and in other disciplines to assure a clear continuity of instruction throughout the student ’ s schooling . Teachers develop individual goals to improve their instruction where the “ analyze ” step showed any gaps . The “ Act ” step is where instruction is provided , following the curriculum and teaching goals . Within set parameters , teachers vary the delivery of instruction based on each student ’ s learning rates and styles . Check Formal and informal assessments take place continually , from daily teacher assessments to six - week progress reports to annual standardized tests . Teachers also can access comparative data on the electronic database to identify trends . High - need students are monitored by a special child study team . Throughout the school year , if assessments show students are not learning as expected , mid - course corrections are made ( such as re - instruction , changing teaching methods and more direct teacher mentoring ) . Assessment data become input for the next step in the cycle . Act In this example , the “ act ” step is “ standardization . ” When goals are met , the curriculum design and teaching methods are considered standardized . Teachers share best practices in formal and informal settings . Results from this cycle become input for the “ analyze ” phase of the next A+ cycle .

http://assemblyoftrueisrael.com/Documents/Thewordgentile.html | The word Gentile as Used in Scripture A Study into the Meaning of the Word Gentile as Used in Scripture A few years ago this writer was in the home of a friend , and as I looked over her books I saw that she had one of these large dictionaries that are usually found only in public libraries . I said to her , " May I use your dictionary ? " I knew that she had always been interested in the correct use of words , so I thought that this would be a good way to start a conversation regarding our identity with Israel . I turned the pages to find the word " gentile " . Immediately the lady asked , " What is the word you are looking for ? " I replied , " I am looking up the word ' gentile . ' " Then she wanted to know what the dictionary had to say . I gave it to help her understand that if the dictionary was correct she could n ' t possibly be a gentile , which she had always claimed to be . Then I read her this definition . " A gentile is a pagan or a heathen or some one who is not a Yahudi or a Christian . " " Now , " I said , " since you are a Christian you can not possibly be a gentile " . She was rather startled at A great deal of confusion and misunderstanding has been caused by the use of the word " gentile " in the English translation of the Bible . Let us take up a brief study of it . It should always be remembered that foreign languages often lose the strength of their meaning through translation . Then it should also be remembered that some words have many meanings . Take the word man as an illustration . Generically speaking it means mankind generally , both men and women . But if it is used in the same sentence with the word woman , it means the male of the species . If it is used in the same sentence with the word boy it means the mature of the species . Thus the word man has three meanings , the meaning of the word being determined by its use in the context . Now the word gentile is a translation of the Hebrew word goi ( singular ) and goyim ( plural ) and the Greek word ethnos ( singular ) and ethne ( plural ) . Using the word gentile to translate these words is often misleading because it is a misapplication of the Hebrew and Greek words as used in the Bible . The modern use of the word has come to mean non - Yahudi or non - Israel , but that meaning can not be maintained in the face of the evidence I will present in this study . The Hebrew word goi is a collective noun meaning nation or sometimes a collective body of people . But it has been translated into English may different ways . The word occurs 557 times in the Old Testament . The Authorized Version of the Bible translates it 30 times ; heathen 142 times ; nation 373 times ; people 11 times ; another once . But the American Standard Version cuts the occurrence of gentile from 30 to 9 times , and then shows in the footnotes of 5 of those 9 times that the word nations should have been used . Of course the word is not always an exact equivalent term because there is too much of the political significance attached to it . But it is much better than the word and some of our best translators prefer the word nations . This is also shown by the way the Revised Version eliminates the word gentiles The same thing is true of the Greek word ethnos . It occurs 164 times in the New Testament . In the Authorized Version it is translated gentiles 93 times ; heathen 5 times ; or nations 64 times ; and people twice . In the American Standard Revised Version it is gentiles 96 times in the text and 7 times in the footnotes , making 103 occurrences altogether . But in the footnotes it is corrected 15 times to read , making the final count 88 . So not only the Hebrew word but also the Greek word has been translated to read more than any other word . Though the word gentiles and the word heathen are used many times in the Bible , we must face the facts that there are no Hebrew or Greek words that would demand this translation . If the reader will consult a good dictionary , you will find that the word gentile is derived from the Latin word gentilis and properly understood means non - something . As used by a Yahudi or an Israelite it would mean non - Yahudim or non - Israelite . But they are not the only people who have a right to use the word . For instance , suppose a Buddhist priest spoke Latin and he wanted to refer to the nations that were not Buddhist , he could call them gentilis . In Hebrew and Greek , there is not an exact equivalent to the Latin word or the English word , nevertheless , if this same priest spoke Hebrew and Greek along with his Latin and wanted to refer to the nations that were not Buddhist , he would call them goyim if speaking Hebrew and ethne if speaking Greek and each time he would naturally include the Yahudim and Israelite people . Likewise a Moslem priest could use the three languages and refer to the Yahudim and Israelites as gentilis and One important thing to always keep in mind is that goi and are collective nouns and can not properly be translated to mean an individual person . They always refer to a group . There is no such thing as A GENTILE ; it is always plural . Gentiles in its plural sense may at times be used to translate goi and ethnos but its use gives an added thought not intended in the original word which can not in every case be justified . Another important word found in the Hebrew text , which needs only passing notice is the Hebrew word " am " and is found many times in the Old Testament text . It is translated nation 17 times . It is usually translated , for it occurs that way 1,835 times in our English text . Occasionally it is qualified by the phrase " every people " , but when it is rendered " the people " it usually means Israel . But this is not the word that has been the source of misunderstanding . Translations of the Hebrew word and the Greek word ethnos have caused the trouble The Hebrew word goi and the Greek word in their singular and plural forms are used three ways in the Bible : 1 . In referring to the Israelite and Yahudim people , let us note the verses which follow below found in the Old Testament and New Testament which refer either to Israel or the Yahudi as a nation and use the Hebrew word goi and the Greek word . To demonstrate the absurdity of always translating the word as gentile we suggest that you read the following verses substituting the word gentile , for Gen . 12 : 2 - " I will make of thee a great nation . " Gen . 17 : 4 , 5 - " A father of many nations have I made thee . " Gen . 20 : 4 - " Lord , wilt thou slay a righteous nation ? " ( heathen ) . Gen . 25 : 23 - " Two nations are in thy womb . " ( Try the word heathen or gentile in that verse ) . Gen . 35 : 11 - " A nation and a company of nations " Gen . 48 : 19 - " Thy seed shall become a multitude of nations . " Isa . 1 : 4 - " Ah sinful nation , a people laden with iniquity . " Isa . 10 : 6 - " Send him against an hypocritical nation . " Jer . 31 : 36 - " Shall cease from being a nation before me . " Luke 7 : 5 - " He loveth our nation and hath built us a synagogue . " John 11 : 48 - " The Romans will come and take our place and nation . " John 11 : 50 - " That one man should die for the people and that the whole nation perish not . " Acts 24 : 2 - " Worthy deeds are done unto this nation by the providence . " Acts 24 : 17 - " I came to bring alm to my nation . " From the foregoing verses and many others that could be given , it can easily be seen that the Hebrew word and the Greek word do not always refer to non - Israel people . 2 . Now let us read a few verses where the same words are used and , as can be seen , refer very definitely to non - Israel people . Gen . 14 : 9 - " With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam , and with the Tidal king of nations . " Gen . 21 : 13 - " And also the son of the bond woman will I make a nation . " Gen . 21 : 18 - " For I will make of him a great nation . " Ex . 9 : 24 - " There was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation . " Ex . 34 : 24 - " For I will cast out the nations before thee . " Isa . 37 : 12 - " Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed ? " Matt . 10 : 5 - " Go not in the way of the gentiles . " Matt . 24 : 7 - " For nation shall rise against nation . " Luke 21 : 24 - " They shall fall by the edge of the sword , and shall be led away captive into all nations . " Acts 7 : 7 - " And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge , said God . " Acts 8 : 9 - " But there was a certain man called Simon which before time in the same city used sorcery , and bewitched all the people of Samaria . " Acts 10 : 45 - " Because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gifts of the Holy Ghost . " In the above verses three words have been used to translate the same Greek word ethnos , and they are , and 3 . Now we come to the third way in which the words have been used , and that is to describe all the nations , which of course , always includes Israel and non - Israel nations . Gen . 22 : 18 - " And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed . " Gen . 25 : 23 - " Two nations are in thy womb . " I Chron . 16 : 23 , 24 - " Declare his glory among the heathen . . . .his marvelous works among the nations . " Psa . 9 : 19 , 20 - " Let the heathen be judged in thy sight . Put them in fear , oh Lord : that the nations may know themselves to be but men . " Note the last two verses have used the two words to translate the same word in one passage . Matt . 24 : 9 , 14 - " . . . . .and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name ' s sake . " " This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached for a witness to all nations . " Matt . 28 : 19 - " Go ye therefore and teach all nations . " Acts 10 : 35 - " But in every nation he that feareth him , and worketh righteousness , is accepted with him . " Attention should also be called to another Greek word erroneously translated gentiles . The word is Hellen and means Greeks or speaking people . It is used 27 times in the New Testament . In 20 places it is properly translated Greeks , but in 7 other places in the Authorized Version it is erroneously translated . This has been corrected in the Revised Version and nearly all - subsequent translations . For example , the Authorized Version translates John 7 : 35 to read : " Will he go unto the dispersed among the Greek and teach the Greek ? " Take as another example I Corinthians 10 : 32 , " Give none offense , neither to the Yahudim , nor to the Gentiles , nor to the church of God " . Now the writer has read several articles by well - known Bible teachers who reject the Israel identity of the Anglo - Saxon people because they say that this verse gives the only classes that God now recognizes . In other words they claim on the authority of this verse that the human race is divided into Yahudim , Gentiles and the Church of God . That is a good example of how anything can be proved by taking a verse out of its context . The context shows that Paul was admonishing people to be conscientious in their walk so as not to offend a weaker brother . The division made in the text is only incidental to the point he was trying to make . And then , too , the text does not say that there are only three classes of people . What it does say is , " Give no offence , neither to the Yahudim , not to the Gentiles , nor to the church of God . " Now , if this text were given to show a division of humanity , then it leaves the vast majority of the races out entirely , because the word that is translated is a palpable mistranslation and should be translated Greeks . This is exactly the way the Revised Version gives it , as is also true of most private translations . But you do not even need a Revised Version to discover this error . Any good Bible with a marginal reading will show this to be true . The Greek word that has been translated in this verse is Hellen and means Greeks , or Greek speaking people . So if , as these men have claimed , this verse proves there are only three classes of people in the world which God now recognizes , then they are the Yahudim , the Greeks and the Christians . Everybody else is left out . By using the same method of reasoning we could quote Galatians 3 : 28 and prove that God does not recognize any distinction in the human race ; then we could go to the other extreme and quote Colossians 3 : 11 to prove that God recognizes eight divisions of mankind . In both cases we would be taking the verses out of their context just as these men have done . But all the confusion over this text would have been avoided if the word Greeks had been used instead of . Paul was writing to the Corinthian . Corinth was in Greece . They had three classes of people there - Yahudi , Greek and Christian . Had Paul been writing to the Romans he no doubt would have said , " Give none offence , neither to the Yahudim , not to the Romans , nor to the Church of God . " Beside these two examples , there are four other places where has been translated gentiles where it should have been translated . These are found in Romans2 : 9 , 10 ; 3 : 9 ; and I Corinthians 12 : 13 . While on this subject , a few words should be said about the way the word gentiles has been used in the Epistle to the Romans , one of the important books in the New Testament . And on this matter I will borrow some thoughts from the late Dr . Wm . Pascoe Goard . In Dr . Goard ' s book , " Epistle to the Romans " , he has given some illuminating comments on how refers to the ten - tribed Israel . These are found in the fourth and fifth chapters of his book . He shows very clearly the chapter 9 , 10 and 11 of Romans refer to ten - tribed Israel . In these chapters the Apostle Paul quotes quite freely from Hosea , Isaiah and Elijah , and as Dr . Goard shows , all these quotations refer to facts in the history of ten - tribed Israel , and not in the history of Judah nor in the history of any other nation . Thus when the word ( Greek word ethne ) is used in these three chapters it definitely is ten - tribed Israel . It is not a contrast between Israel and non - Israel peoples . It is contrast between Israel in 975 BC and Israel known as the nations in AD 60 . Do not let the word gentiles mislead you . The Greek word is and means . The Apostle Paul in the Israel section of his epistle is merely contrasting Israel ' s former state when she was known as Israel with her state in his day when she was known as the . To use the popularized meaning of the word , they had become gentilized in the sense that they were not known as Israel . Israel was one nation God had called out from among the other nations ; now she was just like the other nations . She had lost her identity so much that the Apostle Paul said that blindness was to stay on Israel until the " fullness of the gentiles " ( nations ) be come in , ( Romans 11 : 25 ) . This fullness of the gentiles should be fullness of the nations . It is a direct reference to Genesis 48 : 19 , where it is stated that Ephriam was to become a " multitude of nations " in the last days . This is confirmed by the fact that both Dr . Delitzsh ' s translation of the New Testament in Hebrew , sold by the British and Foreign Bible Society and Ginsburg - Salkinson ' s New Testament , published by the Trinitarian Bible Society , for the use of the Yahudim , have the very same Hebrew words - me lo bag - goyim - in Romans11 : 25 , that we find in Genesis 48 : 19 , in the Hebrew Old Testament , and in this verse only . We use the expression " multitude of nations " because it is given as the correct reading in most Bibles in reference to fullness of nations . In other words , Israel was to be blind to her identity until the tribe of Ephraim became a multitude of nations . That time has arrived now and that is the reason our identity as Israel is becoming known . As Isaiah 25 : 7 reads , " He will destroy in this mountain the face of the coverings cast over all people , and the veil that is spread over the nations " . That veil is being lifted now and our real identity and the identity of other nations is becoming known . Some scholars , in translating Genesis 48 : 19 , where the Hebrew is me lo bag - goyim render it a company of gentile nations . The writer is convinced that a company or multitude of nations is the better translation . However , there is nothing wrong with the translations if the right meaning is attached to the word . That is , they would become so much like other nations that they would not be recognized as Israel . That , of course , is a different meaning given to the word than is meant in the original text . To summarize : the word is derived from the Latin word and is only one of several words that are used to translate the Hebrew word and the Greek word into English . The best word to use is . It would have been better if the word had never appeared in the English text . Neither nor necessarily mean non - Israel , as has been shown above .

http://asserttrue.blogspot.com/2013/04/hydrogen-peroxide-and-scientific-dogma.html | Thursday , April 18 , 2013 Hydrogen Peroxide and Scientific Dogma The catalase test is simple : Add a drop of hydrogen peroxide to a sample of bacteria on a microscope slide and see if it fizzes . Anaerobes ( even aerotolerant ones , such as Streptococcus pyogenes ) wo n ' t fizz because they lack catalase . Aerobic bacteria produce oxygen bubbles , as on the right . I remember the first time I was introduced ( as a young bacteriology student ) to the catalase test . You scrape a colony of bacteria off the surface of an agar dish , rub it onto a microscope slide , then take an ordinary eyedropper filled with 3 % hydrogen peroxide and drop a big fat drop of liquid onto the little slimy smudge of bacteria . If the smudge begins to fizz vigorously , like Alka Seltzer , the bacteria are catalase - positive . If no fizzing happens , they ' re catalase - negative . The fizzing happens because of an enzyme called catalase that promotes the conversion of hydrogen peroxide to water and molecular oxygen : 2 H 2 O 2 → 2 H O + O For the last hundred years , every student of bacteriology has been taught that the reason aerobic bacteria ( and indeed all aerobic life forms , up to and including humans ) have catalase is that hydrogen peroxide is severely toxic and must be gotten rid of , lest it form highly reactive hydroxyl radicals : H O → OH + OH The OH radicals , being extremely reactive chemically , will attack just about anything : DNA , RNA , proteins , lipids , mucopolysaccharides , what have you . Hydroxyl radicals are toxic . Catalase provides a way of neutralizing peroxides so that no radicals can form . Anaerobic organisms , the story goes , lack catalase because they live in oxygen - poor environments where things like peroxides do n ' t form . So - called strict anaerobes are actually killed by exposure to air . The reason they die when they come in contact with air ( supposedly ) is that in the presence of oxygen they experience an endogenous buildup of peroxides that ( in the absence of catalase ) go on to form toxic free radicals that , in turn , eventually cause damage to DNA , proteins , lipids , and other macromolecules . That ' s the official dogma on peroxides , free radicals , and catalase . The only trouble is , as with so much other dogma in this world , it ' s completely wrong . And it would all be harmless prattle if it just applied to bacteria . But unfortunately , this bit of assumption - laden dogma about peroxides and free radicals leads to some rather fanciful notions about the role of " oxidative stress " in ordinary metabolism . The notion that peroxides and free radicals ( so - called Reactive Oxygen Species ) are harmful has led to the spending of billions of research dollars on " oxidative stress " and ways to stave off " oxidative damage " to DNA , proteins , etc . It has led to billions of dollars of misleading advertising around foods " rich in antioxidants . " ( And it has actually led to clinical trials of antioxidants like beta carotene and Vitamin E in which people died needlessly , something I ' ll discuss in more detail in a future post . For now , you might want to refer to this paper . ) Suppose that , rather than accepting the catalase - as - detoxifier / peroxides - as - evil theory at face value , we ask some fundamental questions . Such as : What ' s the evidence that anaerobes exposed to air actually die of peroxide poisoning ? If peroxides are poisonous , why are there no anaerobes that have catalase ? ( If there ' s survival value for aerobes to have catalase , surely there ' s even more survival value for an anaerobe to have it ? ) If catalase exists to protect aerobic cells from peroxide poisoning , then we should expect catalase - knockout mutations to be lethal , or at least gravely deleterious , yes ? Let ' s review some basic facts . First , hydrogen peroxide is not toxic at low concentrations . It is , in the words of one researcher , " poorly reactive : it does not oxidize most biological molecules including lipids , DNA , and proteins " ( Halliwell et al . , " Hydrogen peroxide : Ubiquitous in cell culture and in vivo ? " , IUBMB Life , 50 : 251 – 257 , 2000 , PDF here ) . Concentrated hydrogen peroxide is toxic ( it ' s a disinfectant ) , but at the dilute concentrations found in living cells , hydrogen peroxide is n ' t doing anything harmful to DNA , proteins , or lipids . The situation is analogous to that of hydrochloric acid . At high concentrations , HCl will eat through skin . Put a couple liters into an 80,000 - liter swimming pool , though , and you can drink the stuff . So it is with peroxide . Secondly , peroxides are ubiquitous in living systems ( again see the Halliwell paper ) . In higher life forms H 2 is produced in vivo by monoamine oxidase , xanthine oxidases , various dismutases , and other enzymes , under homeostatic control . There ' s substantial evidence that hydrogen peroxide is a widely used signalling molecule ( see references 21 to 26 in the Halliwell paper ) and recent work has shown a role for hydrogen peroxide in reparative neovascularization . Recruitment of immune cells to wounds likewise appears to require hydrogen peroxide Far from being toxic , hydrogen peroxide is an important biomolecule , essential to ordinary metabolic processes . There is zero evidence that hydrogen peroxide does anything harmful in living tissues , at the concentrations normally found in vivo If hydrogen peroxide were toxic , we ' d expect that a mutation that knocks out catalase would mean certain death for the host organism . After all , with no catalase to break down H 2 to oxygen and water , hydrogen peroxide would simply accumulate until reaching toxic levels . But it turns out , naturally occurring catalase - negative mutants of Staphylococcus aureas have been reported ( laboratory - created catalase - negative mutant strains of E . coli and other organisms are known as well ) . Catalase - knockout mice have been created , and they develop normally . Humans lacking normal catalase were first identified in the early 1950s when a Japanese doctor found that pouring hydrogen peroxide onto a patient ' s infected gums caused no foaming . The catalase - negative condition in humans is known as acatalasemia or acatalasia . It results in no pathology except an increased tendency toward periodontal infection . Catalase does serve an important function in aerobic organisms ( having nothing to do with detoxification ) . With catalase , the oxygen in hydrogen peroxide can be scavenged for ( re ) use in respiration . This is important because every oxygen molecule is worth 38 ATP molecules in the aerobic breakdown of glucose . ( ATP , adenosine triphosphate , is the high - energy molecule that powers the chemical machinery of cells . Without ATP , metabolism grinds to a halt . ) By comparison , anaerobic breakdown of glucose ( which is to say , fermentative breakdown ) yields only 2 ATP molecules per sugar molecule . It ' s very much in the cell ' s interest to recycle the oxygen from hydrogen peroxide rather than let it go to waste . Catalase makes that reuse possible . Anaerobic bacteria obtain energy solely from fermentation . They have no use for oxygen . Therefore they have no use for catalase . A catalase gene would simply be extra genetic baggage for an anaerobe . It would confer no survival value . It ' s astonishing to me that the catalase myth ( the version of the myth that says catalase exists to detoxify hydrogen peroxide so as to keep the cell from dying of free - radical - induced damage ) has survived for well over a hundred years without anyone questioning it . I see the myth repeated all over the Internet as if it ' s Gospel . Never do I see any substantiating research referenced in support of it . It ' s just propagated from one unquestioning drone to another . Why ? Why do myths like this take hold in science ? Why do otherwise intelligent scientists cling to them and perpetuate them , regurgitating them in textbooks and handing them down to new generations of students ? I think the answer is , because it makes a good story , and as human beings we value a good story more than we value checking out the story to see if it ' s true ( providing it ' s a suitably satisfying story ) . Before there was science , stories were all the human race had as a way of trying to understand the universe . If someone told a good enough story , and the story provided a satisfying - enough explanation of something , the story endured . Some of humankind ' s most cherished stories have survived for thousands of years . They survive , in many cases , even if they ' re not verifiably true . With science , the theory is the unit of storytelling . If a theory seems to fit the facts , it ' s accepted . If , on closer inspection , a story is found not to fit the facts , it will still be accepted by many people , if it ' s a satisfying enough story . The ancient Greeks knew the earth was not flat . ( According to Diogenes Laertius , " Pythagoras was the first who called the earth round ; though Theophrastus attributes this to Parmenides , and Zeno to Hesiod . " ) Nevertheless it took centuries for flat - earth theory to fall into disrepute , and even to this day there are people who find flat - earth theory satisfying . So it is with scientific theories . Good stories ( and that ' s all scientific theories are : stories ) have staying power . Even when they ' re wrong .

http://asthabharati.org/Dia_Jan%2005/sude.htm | Dialogue January - March , 2005 , Volume 6 No . 3 Change in the Age Structure of India ’ s Population ( 1881 - 2001 ) Sudesh Nangia & Abhay Kumar * Abstract Age structure of any region is the consequence of birth rate , death rate , migration and the expectation of life at birth . This study examines the spatial and temporal changes in the age - sex structure of India ’ s population by studying in detail the shift in each age - cohort from 1881 to 2001 . In addition , the paper examines the variations in the pattern of age - sex structure between the two regions of India with diverse demographic profiles – the four northern states ( Bihar , Madhya Pradesh , Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh ) and the four southern states ( Andhra Pradesh , Karnataka , Kerala , Tamil Nadu ) . This study is based on the hypotheses that a slow but gradual decline in fertility and a rise in the expectation of life at birth have changed the age - sex composition of India ’ s population ; different age - cohorts have different demographic response to the impact of fertility and mortality change in the population ; and change in the age - structure is more pronounced in the demographically developed states than India ’ s age structure has been rather gradual till recently . The spatial pattern of the change in the age - sex structure is also at variance . Southern states have experienced faster change in the age - sex structure of the population than the northern states . Cohort - wise , change is more visible in the 0 - 14 and 60 + than the productive age - group . Introduction Change in the age structure of any region is the consequence of its birth rate , death rate , migration and the expectation of life at birth . There can be many situations incorporating all these factors . Few of these situations are well represented by the demographic transition model of Thomson ( 1929 ) and Notestein ( 1945 ) where only the two former indicators are considered . In the first stage of the model , there is high birth rate and high death rate with a consequential low growth rate . Age - structure at this stage is In the theory of under population , over population and optimum population , under and optimum terms have been used in the context of role of population in the overall growth of the national income . And the age - group , which contributes to the growth of the national income , is 15 - 59 ( in some cases the upper limit is more ) , which is also called working age group or ‘ demographic bonus ’ or ‘ window of opportunity ’ . The age group below and above 15 - 59 is called dependent population , Literature Review There have been number of studies showing the relationship of changing age structure and its implications on the economic growth , saving rates , demand of goods and services etc . In some of these studies , the relationship has been proved significantly . But , there are some studies in which no clear - cut relationship has been observed . In a paper by K . Navaneetham ( 2004 ) on South and South - East Asia , the author argues that since the advent of the “ miracle economies ” in East Asia , the role of age Mason ( 1988 ) and Lee et . al . ( 1997 ) have also postulated that the ‘ demographic gift ’ has contributed significantly to the economic growth of East Asian countries . A Study by Asian Development Bank ( 1997 ) confirms that the demographic transition in East Asian countries has played a favourable role for rapid per capita income growth . Bloom and Williamson ( 1997 ) have indicated that age structure has transitional impact on the economy . They studied 78 Asian and non - Asian countries and conclude that growth of the working aged population Beherman et . al . ( 1999 ) in his study of 164 countries concludes that economic outcomes clearly follow the age patterns . Lindh ( 1999 ) in his study of the OECD countries found that the age structure of the population affects aggregate saving , which affects growth through investment . He has classified the age structure in five groups as 0 - 14 ( young ) , 15 - 24 ( youth ) , 25 - 49 ( prime working ) , 50 - 64 ( middle ) and 65 + ( old age ) for studying Liddle ( 2000 ) use a simulation model that considers sustainability on several levels by calculating production , consumption , investment , population growth / change and environmental pollution less environmental quality upgrading investment . He concludes that when the Rich countries had considerably higher population growth , but similar levels of per capita final goods consumption , they ultimately consumed less pollution ( both cumulatively and yearly in the later periods ) . Similarly , there was less pollution on a system - wide ( i.e. , global ) level ( in part because the rich countries exported less The tension between the dependency rate and life - cycle models was addressed in the 1980s by Maxwell Fry and Andrew Mason ( 1982 ) and Mason ( 1988 ) . These authors developed what they called a “ variable rate - of - growth effect ” model to link youth dependency and national saving rates . Their model rests on the premise that decline in the youth dependency rate may induce changes in the timing of life - cycle consumption . If consumption is shifted from childrearing to later , non - childrearing stages of the life cycle , Spraggins et . al . , ( 2002 ) in their paper analyse the impact of the age and sex structure from 2000 Census data of the United States on national and sub - national levels and drew a comparison with data from the 1990 census . Their paper showed how the U.S. age - sex structure continues to shift at all levels of geography in United States . They have also shown that the median age of the United States is 35.3 years , which was highest ever . The increase in the median age reflects an aging baby Objectives This study is being conducted with the following objectives : 1 . to examine the spatial and temporal changes in the age structure of India ’ s population ; 2 . to identify the age - cohorts with significant temporal changes ; 3 . to ascertain the impact of decline in the fertility and mortality and increase in the expectation of life at birth on different segments ( age - cohort groups ) ; and 4 . to compare the variations in the pattern of age - sex structure between the two regions of India with diverse demographic profiles – the four northern states of Bihar , Madhya Pradesh , Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh ( also nomenclatured as BIMARU states ) and the four southern states of Andhra Pradesh , Karnataka , Kerala and Tamil Nadu . Hypothesis 1 . A slow but gradual decline in fertility ( partly on account of state policy and programme effects ) and a rise in the expectation of life at birth have changed the age - sex composition of India ’ s population . 2 . Different age - cohorts have different demographic response to the impact of fertility and mortality change in the population . 3 . Change in the age structure is more pronounced in the demographically developed states ( southern states ) than demographically under developed states ( northern states ) . 4 . Regional variations in the behavioural response to the family planning programme are reflected in the age - sex composition . Sources of Data and Methodology Data for the present study has basically been obtained from the Census and Sample Registration system . From the Census , the Socio - Cultural tables of 1971 , 1981 , and 1991 have been taken as the basis of the age - sex data . From the Sample Registration System , fertility and mortality data of 1971 , 1981 , and 1991 as well as life tables of 1993 - 94 have been obtained to collect data on the expectation of life at different ages . For the analysis of the data , simple tables giving percentage figures and other representative figures have been used . Besides , the data have been also represented through graphs such as bars and age - sex pyramids to show the changes in different age - cohorts . Pattern of Change in the Age structure of India The change in the age structure of India has been quite gradual since the first complete Census conducted in 1881 . Since that Census , the data to study in detail the age structure of India ’ s population is authentically made available . The paper also examines , 2001 Census , which has been published recently . Broadly , the age groups have been studied under three categories . The first one is 0 - 14 age - group , which is predominantly young age group largely dependent on their parents for their well - being . This age group contributes little but consumes more of the resources . The second one is of 15 - 59 age - group , which is the main working group . This group is the contributor to the national income by their labour . The third group is of population aged sixty plus . The first and the last group The data reveals that India ’ s population in the 0 - 14 age group has remained close to 38 - 39 percent from 1881 - 1951 . There was a sudden increase in 1961 , when the percentage of population in 0 - 14 age group crossed the mark of forty one percent ( 41 % ) and in 1971 ; it reached its peak by crossing forty two percent ( 42 % ) . This is evidently because of the decline in the mortality rate during this period and not due to a significant decline in the fertility In 1881 , the percentage of population in 15 - 59 age - group was 56.35 . In 2001 , it was little over 56.93 % . The lowest percentage of population in this group was in the year of 1971 , when it dipped to 52 percent . In the census year of 1911 , 1951 and 2001 there has been almost same percentage of population at about fifty seven percent . Since 1971 , there has been continuous and uniform increase in the percentage of population in this age group . 60 + Age - Group This age - group has been experiencing an increasing trend ever since 1881 . There have been few census decades , which have shown interruption in the otherwise smooth trend . The lowest percentage of population ( 5.08 ) in this age group has been recorded in the year of 1901 . In this year , the percentage of population in this age group was 5.08 . In 1881 , the percentage was 5.25 percent . There had been very slight differences in the percentage of sixty plus population till 1931 . The proportion hovered around five percent . But Age Structure in Detailed Age - Cohorts since 1881 - 2001 The trend in age - structure is further revealed through the analysis of detailed age - cohorts from 1881 to 2001 . In the first two age - cohorts i.e. , of 0 - 4 and 5 - 9 years , there is a decline in their proportion in the total population of India after 1961 . This trend is maintained even in the 2001 census . The proportion of population in the 0 - 4 age cohort was the highest in the year 1961 , when it reached 15.06 percent . The census of 2001 recorded the lowest proportion In the 10 - 14 , 15 - 19 and 20 - 24 years age - cohorts , fluctuations have been observed within a limited range with a tendency towards increase in the proportion of population in these age - groups since 1881 . In the first age - cohort , the peak reached in the year of 1981 , when it remained just short of thirteen percent . In the second age - cohort , the peak reached in 2001 census , when it was just below ten percent . In the third age - cohort ( 20 - In the 25 - 29 , 30 - 34 and 40 - 44 years age - cohorts , first we have declining trend and this decrease reaches its nadir at 7.45 % , 6.35 % and 5.07 % in respective age - cohorts from where it again ascends . But , in all of these three age - cohorts the summit of the trend line is in the year of 1881 . The proportion of population in these age - cohorts , hence , had its peak in 1881 and then onwards it declines only to increase during the latest The age - groups 35 - 39 years , 45 - 49 years and 55 - 59 years show similar trends . In these three age - cohorts , the population has indicated increasing trend since 1881 . It has its lowest proportion in the beginning of the trend line and highest in 2001 . This trend is similar to 10 - 14 and 15 - 19 years age - cohorts , difference being in the smooth trend line in the former and the fluctuating trend line in the latter . Only difference among these three cohorts is the proportion In the 50 - 54 years age - cohort , the proportion of population has declined throughout the years under study . This trend is opposite to the immediate previous age - cohort . It has its highest percentage in the beginning of the trend line and the lowest in the end . The 60 + age - group has a totally unique trend in the sense that it had more or less smooth curve , with proportion ranging between five and six percent till 1971 , and then it increases suddenly at a fast rate . In 2001 census Change in the Age - Sex Structure of India An analysis of the change in the age - sex structure in each census from 1881 to 2001 reveals that there is an increase in the base population ( 0 - 14 years of age group ) in both the sexes . There is however , a decline in the other two age - groups i.e. , 15 - 59 and 60 plus age - group in both the sexes , though this decline is very marginal . The population in both male and female declined in 1901 from 1891 . In 1901 , the 0 - 14 age group In the year of great divide i.e. , 1921 , the male / female population behaved differently . There was a sudden decline in the proportion of male population , whereas , at the same time there was surprisingly increase in the female proportion of population . The only increase recorded in the male proportion was in the sixty plus age group and the only decline witnessed in the female proportion was in the productive age - group . The 5 - 9 age - cohort indicated a sharp decline in the male proportion and increase in the female proportion In 1931 , the proportion of old age population declined in both male and female . There was increase in the male population in both the age groups , whereas there was decline in the proportion of the female population in all the three broad age - groups . In 1941 , there was increase in the proportion of population in all the three individual age - cohorts . There was decline in the 15 - 59 years age group in both male and female . The old age population also registered an increase . In 1951 , there was Age Structure in the Northern and Southern States In this section , an attempt has been made to study the age structure of two demographically contrast regions of India i.e. , the four northern states of Bihar , Madhya Pradesh , Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh ( BIMARU states ) and the four southern states of Andhra Pradesh , Karnataka , Kerala , Tamil Nadu . The BIMARU states have low socio - economic and demographic characteristics measured in terms of birth rate , death rate , infant mortality rate , sex - ratio , education , status of women etc . The four southern states reflect good demographic Northern states are known for their poor demographic indicators . Their fertility rate , mortality rate , infant mortality etc . are very high , and life expectancy at birth is low . Whereas southern states indicate good demographic indicators . Kerala ’ s demographic indicators are at par with some of the developed countries of the world . In India , the 0 - 4 and 5 - 9 age groups record a continuous decline in the proportion of population , whereas there is continuous increase in the proportion of the population in 55 - 59 and 60 + age - cohorts . Similarly , in the southern states , there has been a decline in the proportion of the population in the 0 - 4 and 5 - 9 years age - cohorts . But , in the northern states this decline is not smooth and even the proportion remains at higher level than both of the other groups . In 2001 , the proportion of the population in 0 - 4 age group in the southern states dipped below nine percent level , where as in northern states , it is still more than 12.5 percent . Similarly , in 5 - 9 years age - cohort , southern states registered a continuous decline in the proportion of the population in their total population . But , northern states registered growth in proportion of population in the same age - cohort . In 2001 , the proportion of the population in 5 - 9 years age - cohort was a little below the fifteen percent mark in the northern states , whereas this proportion in the southern states is at nine percent ( 9 % ) level . This trend is almost evident in all the age In 1971 , the proportion of population in young age cohorts has remained higher in the northern states , where as , it is lower in the southern states . In fact , the proportion of population has always remained higher in the southern states in all other age - cohorts except the young age - cohorts in all the four different census years . The gap of proportion has steadily widened through successive census years . By the census year 2001 , the difference of proportion between the northern states and southern states has become too large . It indicates that the pace of change in the two regions in India is not the same . It is rapid in the four southern states , whereas it is very In this section , an attempt has been made to delve deeper into the change in the age and sex structure in northern states and the southern states from 1971 to 2001 . The figures reveal that the change in the age and sex structure in the northern states is almost negligible when compared with the southern states . In the young age cohort , the decline in the northern states is two - percentage points in the case of both male and female in the last four decades . This difference is as high as eleven - percentage points in the southern states in the case of female and of ten - percentage point in the case of male . In the case of southern states , one can witness the shrinkage of the proportion of population in each age cohort through the successive decades . But , this is not the case with the northern states . There is instead an increase in some cases . During 1991 and 2001 , there was an increase from 40.09 percent to 40.78 percent in the proportion of the male young age - group population . Not only this , there is a decline in the case of female working population in the northern states during 1991 - 2001 from 52.55 percent In 1971 , the difference of proportion between both the regions in the young age group are of 3 % in the case of male and of 2.25 percent in the case of female . In 2001 , this difference widened enormously and reached at more than ten percent in the case of male and more than eleven percent in the case of female . Similar is the case with 15 - 59 years age - group . There is a difference of about two to three percent in both the regions and in both the sex group . This Conclusion The change that has taken place in the India ’ s age structure during the last one hundred and twenty years indicates a very slow trend . The time - lag of the change in different age - cohorts is much higher than some of the developed countries . India was one of the first countries in the world to implement family planning programme , but its effect has been rather gradual . The spatial pattern of occurrence of change in the age structure is again at variance . Some states have witnessed faster change in the age structure of population than the others . As it has been hypothesized that the reduction in the proportion of population in the younger age cohorts is taking place because of the decline in the fertility is true only in a few developed states , while in others , a threshold decline in the fertility is still to take place before its impact is felt on the age - sex pyramids . There is indeed an The change in the productive age - group is of prime importance in the study of any age structure . It has been seen that the proportion of productive age group , remains more or less stable at fifty - five percent . It declined to fifty - two percent ( 52 % ) in 1971 , but again it increased to the level of fifty seven percent in 2001 . The change has been rapid in the southern states than in northern states .

Some Albuterol Warnings and Precautions Some warnings and precautions to be aware of with albuterol include the following : Tell your healthcare provider immediately if you are using albuterol more often than usual . Asthma symptoms can become worse very quickly , which can result in a medical emergency . Using albuterol alone is rarely the best asthma treatment , especially for adults . Your healthcare provider should consider prescribing additional asthma medications Rarely , albuterol can make bronchospasms ( spasms of the airways ) worse , which is exactly the opposite of what should happen . Tell your healthcare provider immediately if albuterol makes your asthma worse . Albuterol can have a stimulatory effect on the heart and blood pressure . This may result in a fast heart rate ( tachycardia ) , high blood pressure ( hypertension ) , and an irregular heart rhythm ( arrhythmia ) - - although low blood pressure ( hypotension ) is also possible .

http://asthmaregionalcouncil.org/tools-and-resources/topics/healthy-homes/home-hazards/ | Home Resources By Topic Healthy Homes Home Hazards Home Hazards There are a number of housingrelated environmental hazards such as poor indoor air quality asthma triggers lead paint hazardous household chemicals drinking water pest infestation physical injury risk and fire Depending on the inhabitants of the home some hazards may be more of a concern than others For example a home with young children may be more concerned with removing lead paint installing window guards and properly storing household products and medications stored out of reach of children whereas a home with elderly inhabitants may focus on preventing falls and injuries In this section we provide a brief introduction to many of these hazards and point you to more extensive resources We start with home assessment tools and general tips and then cover more specific hazards You will see that while the list of hazards are extensive many have similar root causes and all can be addressed through adherence to the Seven Healthy Homes Principles We also direct you to advocacy resources where they are available such as public service announcements for carbon monoxide poisoning prevention or specific campaigns that cab be promoted by community organizations such as January is Radon Awareness Month Home Hazards Asthma triggers Indoor Chemicals Dust mites Mold and Moisture Pests Pet dander Secondhand smoke Chemicals Household Products Building Materials Falls and Injury Gases Radon Carbon Monoxide Lead Indoor Asthma Triggers Asthma triggers are substances events or activities that bring on asthma symptoms such as coughing wheezing and shortness of breath Allergens viral infections irritants exercise breathing cold air and weather changes are all considered asthma triggers Exposure and sensitization to the following allergens and irritants found in the home and other indoor environments are major factors in the development andor exacerbation of asthma Chemicals such as fragrances and pesticides Dust mites MoldMoistureDamp environments Pests especially cockroaches and

http://astro.unl.edu/naap/distance/cluster_fitting.html | Main Sequence Fitting Main Sequence Fitting 1 . Plot cluster data on HR 2 . Adjust vertical axis 3 . Read off distance modulus Main sequence fitting also determines distances using the HR Diagram but is always applied to clusters of stars . These stars are gravitationally bound , all located at the same distance , and formed at the same time from the same cloud of gas and dust . It is assumed that the members of a cluster will be found at the same locations as stars in general on the HR diagram . Thus , 90 % of the cluster stars are on the main sequence . Main sequence fitting compares 1 ) the location of the main sequence for the cluster stars placed on the HR Diagram where apparent magnitude is used as the y - axis variable to 2 ) the location of the main sequence for nearby stars whose distances are well - known from parallax where absolute magnitude is used as the y - axis variable . Any difference in position between the main sequences must be due to the distance of the cluster . The vertical position of the cluster main sequence is adjusted vertically that it lines up with the main Figure 1 : The difference between the apparent magnitude of the cluster and the absolute magnitude of the main sequeunce line is the distance modulus used in the main sequence fitting technique . There are some complications with main sequence fitting . When cluster stars run out of hydrogen fuel in their cores , they will leave the main sequence and evolve towards the upper right . Thus , these stars are really a distraction to the fitting process and the older a cluster is , the less of the main sequence you have to work with . A second problem is " blue stragglers " . These are stars that are likely members of binary systems and have received mass from their companion . Thus , they can appear to the left | [

http://astroarena12.blogspot.com/2016/07/north-node-in-sagittarius-candid-soul.html | Tuesday July 12 2016 North Node in Sagittarius The Candid Soul Also for if you have North Node in the 9th House When you have the North Node in Sagittarius you are someone who was meant to live this life in pursuit of truth and conviction For you true and deep fulfillment will occur when you learn to see everything as one endless journey as an exploration that just keeps going and going This keeps you in a mindset that allows you to remain open to all of the possibilities ahead of you Sagittarius North Node individuals realize their full potential when they continue to move forward fueled by a genuine sense of inspiration and faith You really have to believe that Yet you are going to have to overcome the pitfalls of your Gemini South Node in order to reach this place of consciousness The South Node represents what holds us back and what remains counterproductive for us if we focus too much on it And with the South Node in Gemini you will remain in a counterproductive state if youre too logical or too scattered There are wonderful things about everyones South Node Certain people may feel like it needs to be done away with altogether But thats not the case as Ive been saying repeatedly through this series The However when unbalanced these traits just make you someone who is too in their head or who talks without saying much of anything The South Node is an indicator of the negative karma weve carried from the past not just our current past but our past life If you can get behind the past lives theory you should realize that the Gemini South Node means that in your most recent past life or the secondmost recent one you displayed this compulsive habit of saying a lot without really meaning much of it There was this strong pattern of spouting off South Node in Gemini also speaks to a past life where schooling played a massive influence You could have been an exceptional student or you might have also been a notable teacher of some kind Many with this placement were very bright in school taking to the constant stream of info like a fish to water standing out as one of the smartest kids in class Such a love of learning could have also compelled you to want to teach later in life But there are also those with the Gemini South Node who went the other way and had So in some way or another this pattern set in of being smarter than other people This manifested in two different ways The first is that it made you feel like you always had to be rational and always had to know the facts You became so used to absorbing information that you felt like you couldnt properly communicate without knowing all the facts first So this led to serious overthinking keeping you in an unnecessarily analytical state of mind You loved asking questions so much that you never knew how to stop and how to shut off your brain So playing mind games being manipulative knowing more than other people and talking out of the side of your mouth were all ways to get that fabulous report card The thing about Gemini is that its dualistic And with the South Node in Gemini such duality emerged in a very negative way in your past life It made you terribly unpredictable inconsistent and possibly even twofaced You couldve become a compulsive liar or an awful gossip just because of your need to talk talk talk In a certain way you also constantly saw yourself as a teacher So you were All of these issues have accumulated into your karmic debt and have been carried over into this lifetime to be addressed And guess what They have also strongly defined your past in this life as well So even if you are not a believer in past lives you can reread everything I just talked about and apply it to your past in this life Gemini South Node people have lived their lives with either an obsessive liking or disliking of school which has only caused them to stay stuck in their gradeschool self But remaining the perpetual student is actually Therefore a certain breakthrough period in your life needs to occur For many people the North Node becomes something that really starts taking over around the late 20s to early 30s By this point youve lived a life that has been disappointing and unfulfilling enough thanks to those poor habits of the South Node The more you focus on the South Node the less fulfilled youll be And with the South Node in Gemini a certain breakthrough happens when you get tired of always having to be logical and always thinking things through Maybe youre exhausted by your overactive mind All of this is evidence that you are ready to embrace your Sagittarius North Node For all of us the North Node is an ongoing journey But it will definitely feel that way if you have the North Node in Sagittarius I think its a common misconception that Sagittarius is about learning I think that Gemini is the sign of learning Sagittarius is the sign of experience discovery and opportunity We all have to discover our North Node within And with the North Node in Sagittarius once you make this discovery it will lead you to an endless string of With the South Node in Gemini your kneejerk reaction is to be calculating In a sense you are always studying a situation first picking up on all sorts of little cues and details and bits of information before acting Yet the North Node in Sagittarius has unconsciously developed within you as a response to that Your soul is tired of needing to observe everything and everyone To a certain degree you need to embrace more of a tunnel vision kind of approach Just putting your energy into the facts and nothing but the facts bores you now Deep down you This is often why college is such a challenging time for a lot of people with this placement You can see many of them either dropping out of college or vacillating between different fields of study Your mind naturally works like this Youre such an information junkie that just about anything sounds good to you But you must develop the side of you that really believes in that one thing This will set you on a steady path that will bring you real fulfillment and satisfaction Its for this reason that many Sagittarius North Node folks find themselves going back to college whether they dropped out or got a degree in something that they didnt care about The latter experience can really haunt them and make them feel like their time in college was meaningless Therefore they may feel the need to do it over again So its by finding that inner truth that compass that leads you to your truth that you will find the right field of study Honesty is so important to your growth in this lifetime Its why I call you the candid soul Being truthful is what puts you on the right track Again that can be quite a generalizing statement that applies to anyone Yet thats what Sagittarius is about that very basic sense of right and wrong First off you have to know whats right and wrong for you You might not be entirely aware of it but you have this deep inner sense that whats good for the goose is not exactly good for the gander But youre so adaptable and such But forget all of that You have to figure out a sense of right and wrong that will guide you through life This means not just communicating glibly but developing strong convictions While personal planets in Sagittarius can potentially bring selfrighteousness you are going to be very opinionated in a good way For you its not standing on a soapbox Emitting some fire and brimstone is what allows you to access your higher self Your greater soulexpression therefore is entirely straightforward spouting off these beliefs and viewpoints in spite of what others may think The way you can find balance Besides you dont know who you could end up positively impacting Your conversations must come from a place of true candor and passion You are very used to just saying hey how was your day without entirely meaning it But in this life you have to say what you mean and mean what you say In doing so you will be carrying and expressing a very positive energy that can touch others around you In the end most people are disarmed by someone whos very authentic whos real who speaks so honestly and straightforwardly It is a very refreshing quality As you evolve in this way you will figure out what is meaningful to talk about and what isnt You can easily be that classic person who just yammers on to fill the silence or who gossips because theres nothing else to say which ends up being malicious intentionally or not But the Sagittarius North Node is challenging you to figure out more important things to talk about Youll be using your natural intelligence to do this as your clear intellect will show you what people are actually interested in Despite your natural curiosity and people skills you may sometimes Youre meant to go down a philosophical path Skepticism shows that youre offtrack as faithfulness is the key to unlocking your higher self Many Gemini South Node people grow up without any religious affiliations If they do they tend to not take it seriously while pretending to for the sake of their parents But in order to grow you have to find your religion This doesnt mean literal religion necessarily even though many with this placement do actually find themselves being deeply reborn by taking on some religion in adulthood It just means some sort of faith or philosophy that There is no more room for really manipulative behavior in your life It will just bring you an empty sort of feeling Yet the shrewd part of yourself can be used in order for you to navigate your grand journey in life In the end youre nobodys fool You are smart enough to smell someone elses BS because lets face it you can dish out quite a bit of BS of your own But the Sagittarius North Node wants you to rise above that simply using your sharp people skills to smell someones else falseness or lies And thats someone And being adventurous is the ultimate purpose of the North Node in Sagittarius It means venturing out beyond your typical spots and hangouts You can stick to your little neighborhood to your own detriment You feel more comfortable with everyone knowing your name But you need to go off and explore other places whether thats other hangouts in your city another city or even another country In any case expanding your options is how you grow in this life Embrace your personal freedom to go off on another path Whatever you want to do just go out and do it Posted by Wayman Stewart at 213 PM Email This BlogThis Share to Twitter 41 comments Anthony Woods July 12 2016 at 751 PM Shorter articles SOLIDIFIED with more frequent articles Would be solid O Reply Alyssa Graves July 12 2016 at 815 PM I have a young nephew just 4 with a Gemini south node Hes a Scorpio but I feel like his Gemini south node is so much stronger Hes super hyper always all over the place very talkative he can talk about anything and VERY bright and curious On the negative side though he can be deceitful a bit of a knowitall he will literally have cute little arguments with me if he thinks he knows best LOL and he changes his mind SOOO MUCH its aggravating For example he might ask me to make him a pbj and in the Reply Replies Wayman Stewart July 12 2016 at 930 PM He sounds adorable Haha but I get the frustration He needs to act out those bad habits and get it out of his system though until he becomes an adult So you kind of have to just let him be in those moments Thats his karma We all have it through our South Node Reply Michaela Manaskova July 13 2016 at 1030 AM Hello Wayman thank you for your wonderful posts some of them were hugely clarifying for me I feel a bit puzzled now about the interpretation of my NN in Gemini in the 9th house especially when you mention that the article pertains both to NN is Sagittarius and to NN in the 9th house Could I understand my NN as a point that wants me to integrate both principles of Sagittarius and Gamini at the same time Or do you see another way to interpret it Reply Replies Wayman Stewart July 14 2016 at 948 PM Yeah the Nodes in the opposing houses are very tricky Basically it is both much easier for you to slip into your bad habits but also much easier to access your full potential There is a very thin line between your higher self and your lower self When interpreting the Nodes the sign overpowers the house So this makes it less confusing You are very used to doing Sagittarius things in a 3rd House ways You can be very prone to seeking freedom due to fickle whims and expressing your convictions in very changeable ways Sometimes it is manipulative and sometimes you are so easily influenced that you dont know what to believe So you must focus on expressing Gemini energy in a 9th House way This means knowing exactly what you believe and communicating it clearly You must be truly interested in what others have to say due to the process of discovery and inspiration that good conversation gives you Basically think of yourself as a bit more of a Gemini North Node but dont neglect the call of the 9th Michaela Manaskova July 17 2016 at 213 AM Thank you Wayman it makes it much clearer for me Reply Balta Yoshi July 13 2016 at 1044 AM Hi Waymangreat article again It was great inside of you that with influence of South Node in Gemini the person sometimes is few steps ahead than the rest of people I was embarrassed sometimes by seeing solutions so fast that people felt stupid believing i wanted to outsmart them while for me it was a very natural thing My partner who has Sagittarius Sun placement explained to me You do not get it that they do not see it as fast as you do What is natural to you is different to some others Funny thing is i am a daughter with NN in Sagittarius in 7th house of the mother also with NN in Sagittarius in 8th house When i was growing up i have decided to do everything different than she did She had actually challenged me to do this by telling me I will see how you will manage by your own in life My answer always have been One thing for sure ill be fine My mother is very very fickle I have learned from heri have felted it on my own skin how difficult it is to build solid relationships when you are not consistent not following the dotted lines you say one thing and do the opposite eventually you loose the track of events and the actual meaning behind the events And if you go on and on like that without application of change here and there you might even loose the meaning of your own life I did realize one thing exactly very early in what you said Act on faith Sagittarius Would you agree or not with me saying that there is a possibility that i have learned from my mothers mistakes and there for i am dare to say i had little difficulty to leap in on the path of my North Node without leaning too much to my South Node Would you also agree that to people with NN in Sagittarius astrology is one of the truth giving them solid spiritual ground and understanding Thank you Reply Balta Yoshi July 13 2016 at 1058 AM Wayman i have another burning question if its not too much of a bother My North Node is in Sagittarius and falls by degree in 7th house which is mainly occupied by Scorpio My 8th house is also occupied by Sagittarius and 9th as well I am curious what would you say is it like that Sagittarius sign have quite big influence in my chart Reply Replies Wayman Stewart July 14 2016 at 937 PM It is very interesting when a parent and child have the same North Node I think it is very likely that she finds it hard to understand her mistakes and how she holds herself back So your relationship is very karmic As you said she may see a lot of her shadow side in you But your full potential can remind her of hers which may inspire and motivate her or be a source of contention The important thing is to just be yourself and not focus on being better than your mother somehow I feel like any time someobe says theyre going to be better than their parents its like a curse It usually causes that very thing to happen because the person is always living in reaction to the parent and sooner or later becomes them But we are all individuals Youre not a reflection of your mother Just focus on your own path and your own growth And yes Sagittarius is duplicated in your chart It is a significant influence but too long to explain in a comment Ill do an article soon on duplicated houses Balta Yoshi July 15 2016 at 941 AM Thank you very much for your reply I feel like any time someone says theyre going to be better than their parents its like a curse great observationand not really respectful to the parentsits fortunately does not apply to me I have said to myself i would do things different not better Its my mother which always compared her life to mine and not in my favour I also was never in reaction to her i was very independent but humble daughter she even said it herself That all was said just for clarification of things Appreciate your insight a lot always so refreshingly wise And i look forward to your article about dublicated houses Reply Monica July 14 2016 at 1134 AM i have sag north node12retro conjunct capricorn ascendant 4 deegree orb how would that play out and will it be visible and should i focus more on the 12th house when working with the north node or sagi traits Reply Replies Wayman Stewart July 14 2016 at 929 PM I always say that the NN house is the style that you express the NN sign in The NN sign is what you work on and the house is how you work on it and bring it to fruition So express the Sagittarius NN in a 12th House way fluid imaginative spiritual solitary etc This combination can send you on some very inspiring magical kind of spiritual quest that is really never ending Queen TwilightSparkle August 30 2017 at 736 AM Hey Monica If you need any assistance I have the North Node in the opposite house Sagittarius 6th house Yes I guess this is my Sagittarius side kicking in lol Anyways what happens if the Sagittarius is on the 6th house I did my past life regression and this placement makes sense do you know what specifically I need to work on in this lifetime It seems that I went down a philosophical path in my recent past life and its telling me to stop having a martyr complex and start working on my dream goals Is this a correct interpretation or am I missing the point Reply devontae conner July 18 2016 at 125 PM I have north node Sagittarius in 7th house sextile my sun in 5th house kinda easy for me to be direct candid in my relationship with others Reply Unknown August 12 2016 at 605 AM Hello Wayman I just discovered your blog and its amazing So thank you very inspiring You have different way with words and interpretations its refreshing and more authentic I have also taught myself astrology through books and internet for the last 25 years it has helped me a lot to understand life which before that was one big riddle Ive got mars pluto SN IC 21d in scorpio in 34 th NN in taurus in the 9th stellium with jupiter in aquarius in the 6th moon in leo in the 12th ASC 29d leo saturn uranus in saggitarius chiron opposite saturn neptun in capricorn Saturn return has been exactly as youve described it very painful Im still in it battling those bullies and finding my purpose Ive changed radically Better times are coming feeling stronger things are clearer Ill get intensly in your page this weekend probably reading every article you have THANK YOU 3 Reply keely October 28 2016 at 323 PM I have Gemini South Node in the 9th and Sagittarius North Node in the 3rd I would say that I have been slightly Gemini in this lifetime but not enough for me to be like UGH this Gemini energy is the bane of my existence So I wonder if a lot of my Gemini stuff is connected to a past life instead I also wonder if maybe everything with this is confusing for me because I have Sag NN in the Gemini house and vice versa I honestly dont feel that connected to my North OR South Node The nodes Reply Replies keely October 28 2016 at 326 PM Oh I wanted to add my Gemini South Node is conjunct the MC and Mars Perhaps that modifies things a bit The NN is of course conjunct the IC but no planets Wayman Stewart October 28 2016 at 420 PM Its because you have flip flopped Nodes Your Gemini SN has a very Sagittarius flavor since it is in the 9th and your Sagittarius North Node has a Gemini feel because its in the 3rd So it will be particularly challenging for you because you never feel too much like one or the other keely October 28 2016 at 440 PM Yeah thats basically it and Im just going to have to accept that hard for this 12th House Virgo lol When I cant analyze and understand everything to make sense of it perfectly I get really annoyed So with this node thing its like the placements are just blurred together there is barely any distinction between them It drives me crazy because I want to be able to dissect to figure out what each one means separately When I cant do that it feels SO frustrating Virgo Sun Mercury and Jupiter in the 12th with Virgo Rising can you tell Wayman Stewart October 28 2016 at 937 PM Haha yeah Im sure But the good thing about those who have their Nodes like this is that it is more so about balancing the Nodes than embracing and accessing the NN because in many ways you already get it Its just about not going to extremes and maintaining that middle ground AfroGoddess July 5 2017 at 512 AM I have this exact placement with my Sag north node in Gems house and vice versa including the Virgo Rising Wow Yes Yes Yes and my Moon is Conjunct my Gemini South Node and my Mars is Conjunct my Sag North Node Help Even as an Astrologist this placement has baffled me at every turnsmh any thoughts This has to be the smartest and most keen set off write ups on Nodes Ive seen in all my studiesThank You so much Kat Mobasher January 15 2018 at 519 AM OMG AfroGoddess I too have Gem SN conj Moon Gem in the 9thVirgo Rising and while Mars is in Sag not quite conj NN in Sag And I am also an astrologer and this has baffled me all my life Just now getting a handle on itin my sixties For me it seems to be about resisting the strong urge to dabble not to focus and to pay lip service to the relative nature of truth A couple years ago during a conversation about past lives rather than my usual diffident oh its fine you believe whatever you want everyone Reply Riveting Rebecca April 26 2017 at 744 PM This comment has been removed by the author Reply Old Tingri May 25 2017 at 843 AM I have been thinking a lot about this placement and the idea of travelling and adventure I have often thought of it as either an intellectual spiritual pursuit or a physical change of geographic placement However more recently I have been thinking of this as exploration of something completely different for oneself that enables you to grow For example I have always been a people person who wants to help others by physically being there for them and working in sales public related fields Now though I am thinking of a more isolated occupation that will enable me to financially Reply Queen TwilightSparkle August 29 2017 at 958 AM Yep sounds like me also Are you North Node Saggittarius 6th house also helping others is apparently a 6th house north node thing Reply Claudia Del Cid August 31 2017 at 540 PM One of the best articles I have read on NN in Sagitarius Everything resonated so muchThank you I have in my 7th house and my desire for astrology and life coaching is growing and I am coming to the point in my life that I am considering walking away from my very demanding corporate America job to build my own business I will remember your words grateful Reply Iroda Satymova October 3 2017 at 624 AM Thanks for such articulate interpretation of NN in Sag Its true about the religious part I grew up in a exSoviet sorta Muslim family But because of Soviet influence we rarely if ever discussed religion Now that Im 24 Im craving some spiritual guidance Reply Jackie Hope November 21 2017 at 720 PM Jackie Reply Replies Unknown January 22 2018 at 153 AM Well done Jackie I was just reading what u wrote Such an inspirational journey that you have had I am focusing on the Sag NN aspect of travelling overseas more and experiencing different cultures and having multicultural friends and trying to use my intuition rather than needing all the facts like the Gemini SN past lives Cheers John Hoani Mathieson New Zealand Reply Jo Shepherd January 17 2018 at 158 PM Thank you so much for this in depth look at the north node in Sagittarius Its not only accurate but very helpful too You answer so many questions particularly in regards past lives and karma We are here to grow and now I have a clearer understanding of the nature of the transformation that is happening in my life Blessings X Reply Unknown June 23 2018 at 114 PM I was curious what the meaning of this position was for me and reading this piece made me feel so accomplished and blessed and proud of myself The last paragraph made me a little teary eyed and gushing with gratefulness since a year or so Ive decided to just go out and DO things as I noticed it has always given me back so much positive outcomes whenever I DID decide to drag my ass outside of my comfort zone This is only an affirmation that Im on the right track in this life and that I can trust myself Thank you so much for writing this Reply Marie August 19 2018 at 936 PM Thank you for the article it provided a lot of information much needed Reply Marie August 19 2018 at 936 PM Thank you for the article it provided

does it mean Reply Unknown October 17 2018 at 1214 AM Enjoyed reading on the NN Sag and SN Geminiwhich I have Gemini is also my Ascendantdoes that affect any of it at all Seems a bit counterintuitive but perhaps not Is it perhaps more difficult to drop the Gemini traits when that is ones Ascendant Or maybe accept and embrace the positives of Gemini and work on dropping the not so positive Thanks

http://astrologyk.com/zodiac/dates/cancer | Cancer Dates of Birth The Zodiacal Sign of Cancer commences on June 22st , but for days it does not come into full power until on or about June 28th . From this date onwards it is In full strength until July 20th , and is then for seven days gradually losing its strength on account of becoming overlapped by the " cusp " of the incoming sign Leo . Cancerians love home - life , family and domestic settings . They are traditionalists , and enjoy operating on a fundamental level . They love history , and are fascinated with the beginnings of things ( heraldry , ancestry , etc . ) . The moon is their ruler , so they can be a bit of a contradiction and sometimes moody . However , they are conservative , so they ’ ll be apt to hide their moods from others altogether . They have a reputation for being fickle , but they ’ ll tell you that is n Cancer Dates : June 22 – July 22 June Birthday 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 July Birthday 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 In astrology , your Cancer Zodiac sign ( also called sun sign or star sign ) is decided by the position of the sun at the moment of your birth , as seen from Earth . The sun takes a year to travel through the twelve Zodiac signs , but it ’ s not exactly a year of 365 days . The time it takes is closer to 365.25 days . That ’ s why we have leap years . Every fourth year we add a day to the calendar , the 29th of February , making that year 366 days . Actually , there ’ s an additional rule , to make it more precise with the actual movement of earth and the sun : the starting year of a new century is not a leap year , unless it ’ s evenly divisible by 400 . So , 1900 was not a leap year , but 2000 was . The leap years make the dates of each Zodiac sign change slightly . Normally , Cancer starts on June 22 and ends on July 22 , but that ’ s just the mean . In reality it changes slightly in a four year period from one leap year to the next . If you were born on the 22nd of June or the 22nd of July , you have to check if you ’ re really a Cancer or not . It never differs more than a day in each direction . The start of Cancer must be within the 21st to 22nd of June , and the end of it within the 22nd or 23rd of July . People born on other dates need not be concerned .

http://astrologyking.com/neptune-retrograde/ | Home Retrograde Planets Neptune Retrograde 2018 Neptune Retrograde 18 June 2018 – Spiritual Quest Neptune retrograde 2018 starts on June 18 at 16 ° 29 ′ Pisces and ends on November 24 at 13 ° 41 ′ Pisces . Neptune retrograde 2018 forms a fortunate aspect pattern called a grand trine . It shows great natural talent and creative potential . Mercury and Jupiter are the other planets involved so there is a hopeful , philosophical and friendly feel to Neptune retrograde this year . Neptune retrograde is the ideal time for spiritual self - development . The grand trine aspects and fixed stars involved make Neptune retrograde 2018 especially good for undertaking a spiritual quest to seek the truth . More detail on Neptune retrograde 2018 follows definitions of natal Neptune retrograde and transiting Neptune retrograde . Natal Neptune Retrograde Meaning Neptune retrograde in the natal chart is more common than inner planet retrogrades such as Mercury and Venus . About 40 % of people have Neptune retrograde in their birth chart so it is less feared and less harmful than having a retrograde inner planet . That being said , Neptune retrograde natal still has karmic repercussions and a definite influence on soul growth due to the spiritual nature of the planet . Natal Neptune retrograde suggests that some area of life is so painful that you prefer to escape this reality through your own imagined dream world . It is likely that this tendency to avoid pain through illusion is strongly rooted in a tragic past life experience such as torture , where your only option to escape physical pain was to transcend from a physical to a more spiritual plane of existence . This earlier experience of spiritual pain relief was probably so intense and overwhelming that it became imprinted in your soul memory , in the DNA of every cell in your body . Past life crises like illness , false accusation and victimization will often be repeated to a lesser extent early in your life . You may notice you are the of subject to gossip , scandal or slander . I associate religious persecution with Neptune retrograde . Throughout history , the Roman Catholic Church alone has accused , tortured , burned , drowned and massacred countless millions of pagans , Protestants , Muslims and many other innocents . No matter the reasons , you come into this life with some justified fears and anxieties . Although not exactly as real or extreme now , certain experiences will trigger those more painful memories . Your natural reaction is to get rid of the pain by accessing that higher spiritual dimension . The quicker the better and you probably do n ’ t care whether it is through meditation , prayer , your imagination or drugs . The release of pain relieving hormones in your brain is addictive so you could easily resort to escapism more often and for less critical reasons over time . You may use illness to gain sympathy or to avoid the harsh realities of life . Perhaps you are more subject to confusion and deception than most , or have a tendency to become involved in intrigues and scandals . False accusation and victimization will exacerbate your fears and anxieties around groups of people or certain people . Other karmic issues associated with Neptune retrograde in your chart could include misdiagnosed or mystery illnesses with the associated blame or guilt ; or institutionalization for crime , mental illness or religious mania . Feeling isolated from society is common for many reasons . Neptune retrograde is likely to play some role in the case of the accuser , inquisitor or torturer . However , I expect that Saturn retrograde guilt and Pluto retrograde misuse of power would play bigger roles in these stories . Neptune Retrograde in Transit Neptune retrograde in transit is a regular cycle lasting 160 days every year during the opposition to the Sun . As with all outer planets , it causes less concern than the rarer inner planet retrogrades . Neptune is retrograde 40 % of the time compared to Mars at 9 % and Venus at only 7 % of the time . Transiting Neptune retrograde can internalize your fears and anxieties by stripping away the illusions , dreams and false realities that have clouded your vision . The destruction of your fantasy world will show those harsh realities you sought to avoid at some stage in the past . Maybe you have kidded yourself about true love , your financial situation or your career prospects . The further from the truth you have traveled , or the more extreme you methods of escape , the bigger the shock . The truth of your reality is often quite painful , as is often the case when addiction to drugs , alcohol , gambling or porn has been your escape . It does not have to take an intervention or withdrawal to recognize your self - deception either . This realization has always been there in your higher self , or pineal gland as represented by Neptune . A new relationship or a critical event can trigger an old or past life memory of pain . Neptune rules self - sacrifice , victimization , false accusation , scandal and slander . Neptune retrograde can show the source of the pain from which you sought to escape . You may then feel humiliated , betrayed , scared , anxious or guilty . The internalizing influence of retrograde motion means you may spend more time worrying about yourself and your problems . Self pity , social anxiety or depression could lead to withdrawal and loneliness . Neptune retrograde is the ideal time for spiritual self - development . Self help books or counselling may help but other tools include meditation , Yoga , Tarot , astrology , swimming and a healthy , toxin free diet . Phobias , hypochondria and paranoia may become more noticeable during Neptune retrograde but also easier to discuss . The world may seem boring when conspiracy theories are debunked or Armageddon is postponed indefinitely . Sometimes , however , your suspicions may in fact , be based on realistic psychic impressions . In the case of health matters especially , it is worth seeking a second opinion in case of misdiagnosis or misinterpretation of results . Neptune Retrograde 2018 The chart below for the moment that Neptune stations retrograde shows a Grand Trine aspect pattern with Mercury , Jupiter retrograde and Neptune . The fortunate trine aspects create a balanced and harmonious blend of the planetary energies . Grand trines are very fortunate , showing great natural talent and creative potential . However , without some desire and effort the potentials may never be realized . But the more challenging nature of the two planets in retrograde give the motivation needed to turn opportunity into success . There are also fixed stars with each planet that energize this grand trine . Neptune Retrograde 2018 Aspects Mercury trine Jupiter brings optimism and good news . Research , study and socializing are favored , and this is one of the best transits for making plans because of your good instincts , future - oriented and positive thinking . Planning or setting off on a journey is favored , especially long distance travels . Particular areas of study which may interest you include religion , law , language and philosophy . Business dealings should go well and this is the ideal time for entering into negotiations and for signing contracts . This is also a good time for all legal matters Mercury trine Neptune stimulates your creativity , imagination , sensitivity and spirituality . This a great time for working on anything involving harmony , like poetry , music and dance . Drama would also benefit from your closer inter relatedness with others , or increased empathy . All of your communication skills benefit from a non threatening , caring and soft influence . Your senses will be finely tuned so you can communicate effectively at the non verbal level , through gestures , your eyes , and telepathically . This aspect enhances psychic abilities and intuition . Jupiter trine Neptune encourages hope , generosity and community spirit . You may undertake a spiritual quest to seek the truth . There may be destined encounters with priests , guru ’ s or psychics . Others may come to your for spiritual guidance or you can go it alone . Enlightenment can come through dreams , visions or meditation . You can follow your dreams for success without needing to sacrifice your ego or material possessions . Wealth , fame and glamour may come but above you should feel happy and content . Romance is also possible as others find you mysteriously Neptune Retrograde 2018 Fixed Stars Mercury conjunct Fixed star Sirius at 14 ° 19 ′ Cancer : Great business success , help through influential people , worries unnecessarily , associated with the Church , physical defect through accident . [ 1 ] Jupiter conjunct Fixed star Alphecca at 12 ° 33 ′ Scorpio : Honor and dignity , artistic ability , benefit through ecclesiastical matters , favorable for material gain . [ 1 ] Neptune conjunct Fixed star Achernar at 15 ° 34 ′ Pisces : Success in public office , beneficence , and religion . Well placed , it promises happiness and success by giving good morals , faithful adherence to one ’ s religious beliefs , or a philosophical inclination .

http://astrologyking.com/pluto-retrograde/ | Home Retrograde Planets Pluto Retrograde 2018 Pluto Retrograde 2018 – The Warrior Pluto retrograde 2018 starts on April 22 at 21 ° Capricorn and ends on September 30 at 18 ° Capricorn . The aspects and fixed star involved in Pluto retrograde 2018 will unleash your inner warrior . This is ideal for taking a direct , even aggressive approach to dealing with your Pluto retrograde power and control issues . Before I talk about Pluto retrograde 2018 in more detail , you will find a description of Pluto retrograde in the natal chart followed by the general meaning of Pluto retrograde in transit . Natal Pluto Retrograde Meaning Pluto retrograde in the natal chart is more common than inner planet retrogrades such as Mercury and venus . About 40 % of people have Pluto retrograde in their birth chart so it ’ s less feared and less harmful than having an inner planet retrograde . That being said , natal Pluto retrograde still has karmic repercussions and a noticeable influence . With natal Pluto retrograde you may have difficulty transforming your life due to fear of letting go . The internalization process of retrogrades can slow you bringing your intense drives and needs to the surface . You will probably have difficulty expressing your personal power and influence . A fear of being controlled or of taking control can stem from past life experiences involving abuse of power or being overly controlled . Which side of the ledger , whether victim or abuser , is shown through aspects to your Pluto and any fixed star conjunctions Depending on the particular past life conditions , you may have a fear of death , poverty , manipulation , torture , imprisonment , being committed to a mental institution , exile or betrayal . Power and control issues may also involve the psychic realms , sex and inheritance . For such reasons you can be very intense on the inside , secretive or a control freak . Past life conditioning can repeat , especially while young , in the form of compulsions , phobias , isolation or mistrust of family . You may develop strong psychic power as a result of internalizing your powerful drives and wish for power and success . Hiding your true desire for power and influence can lead to suspicion . Pluto retrograde in your natal chart subjects you to many fated events which are aimed at bringing your deepest and darkest fears to the surface . A repeating theme of particular experiences will continue until you learn to safely express your inner power and intensity . Transiting Pluto Retrograde Meaning Pluto retrograde in transit is a regular cycle lasting five months every year , during the opposition to the Sun . As with all outer planets , it causes less concern than the rarer inner planet retrogrades . Transiting Pluto retrograde is a time of reflection about power and control in your life . If people have controlled or manipulating you then now is the time to let them go . If you have been too controlling of others or situations then it is time to let go . This is not a time for power tripping but a time for elimination . Fated If you have been too smothering and controlling in a relationship , holding on too tight , then you may be forced to let go . If obsessive or compulsive behavior involving food or drugs has taken hold of your life , then events may force a turn around . The more intense your destructive behavior , the more extreme the detoxification or withdrawal stage will be , such as going cold turkey . Perhaps suspicion , secrecy , racism , gambling or porn are taking control and holding you back from spiritual evolution . Trust in your spirit guides and think of the extremes your ancestors endured to have their genes expressed in you . Destroying things which have control over you will increase your spiritual power and lead to personal mastery . Pluto Retrograde 2018 Pluto stations retrograde on Sunday April 22 , 2018 at 21 ° 17 ′ Capricorn . The aspects shown in the chart below and the fixed star involved reinforce the power and intensity of Pluto . Fixed star Dheneb at 20 ° 02 ′ Capricorn acts like Mars and Jupiter . This green star in the Tail of the Eagle gives the ability to command , liberality , generosity , and success in war and martial arts . Aquila Constellation gives great imagination , strong passions , indomitable will , a dominating character , influence over others , clairvoyance , a keen penetrating mind and ability for chemical research . In mundane astrology , Aquila rules changes in the weather , the U.S.A. , space exploration , bombs and missiles . Mars conjunct Pluto brings an incredible increase in ambition , sex drive and personal power . This is a retrograde phase to work independently on something you are passionate about . You will have the endurance and strength to succeed at difficult tasks . A burst of creativity can be used to make major transformations in your life . If you must compete or are threatened then draw on your warrior energy to fight and win . So act on instinct and use any adrenalin rush for peak action . Mars sextile Jupiter makes you feel strong and courageous . This is the ideal time to tackle any difficult task because there is an excellent chance of success . Good luck is due to increased optimism , strong instincts , initiative and a willingness to take risks . A strong competitive streak and heightened attractiveness make this a good time for sports , sex and war . Jupiter sextile Pluto brings success through positive change . You do not have to force change or have to react to unexpected change . So this is a natural development in your life associated with increased power and influence , spiritual and personal growth , wealth creation and professional advancement . Powerful forces are working behind the scenes to promote you to a higher level . A strong urge to reform something in your life will coincide with an opportunity to do just that . Pluto Retrograde 2018 Summary Pluto retrograde 2018 is ideal for taking a direct , even aggressive approach to dealing with your Pluto retrograde power and control issues . Unleash your inner warrior and confidently stand up for your rights if you have been dominated or abused . Intense determination , willpower and fighting spirit will help you overcome adversity , addiction or illness . Using the power of your mind you can transform a personal crisis into a success story . Miracles are possible .

http://astrologyschool.com/Where%20do%20I%20come%20from.html | Where do I come from ? Secrets from the 4th House From a workshop of the same name held in July 2011 . The 4th House of the natal chart is all about the very roots of our existence , the beginning and end of all things . Our foundation , our home , our family and ancestry . It is where we find hidden treasure . Never before have we devoted a whole workshop to just one area of the chart . But in today ' s workshop we will be doing just that . And answer the question “ Who am I – and where did I come from ? ” This workshop is not so much about me standing up here and telling you about your chart , it is all about you making sense of your chart . To start us off , a wee story and I pass this on with her permission . . . Betty emailed me yesterday to say that unfortunately she would n ' t be able to make today ' s workshop as she needed " to be at home to monitor water leaks into my bedroom . . .The forecast for today and tomorrow is rain . I have been ‘ plagued ’ with water leaks for the past few weeks , which have just been fixed , yet now need to be monitored . . . It is unfortunate , I replied : " I must admit I had to smile ( we astrologers have a strange sense of humour some may think ) - you have Leo on your 4th House cusp with its ruler Sun conjunct Neptune in the 6th House . I guess you could read water problems into that one ! " Betty : " Goodness , you are right with your analysis of my sun conjunct Neptune . . .this would account for the reoccurring theme no matter where I live . Every few years a leak happens somewhere in my home . The worst part is dealing with neighbours who need to be cooperative as the leak travels through their property . " With Leo on the cusp of her 4th house and a Virgo Mars and Uranus in the 4th , I ' m not sure that this would be an obvious observation on first reading Betty ' s chart . It is when you really start looking at the many layers of meaning associated with each house meaning , the sign on the cusp – before even considering any planets in the house – that you start to uncover the secrets , the hidden treasure that is the 4th . And how appropriate that our first example is so very reflective But before we go on , let ' s go back to the very beginning : what exactly is the 4th house ? The 4th house is formed by the intersection of the horizon and the meridian lines : | [

http://astronautics.com/technology/aerospace/svs/ | Synthetic Vision System Flying an airplane or a helicopter in low visibility conditions due to weather and / or time of day is a task that puts a very high workload on the pilot . The high workload increases the chances for mistakes in case of an emergency . Synthetic Vision System ( SVS ) technology emerged from the need to see through the darkness and through the clouds , to bring back a VFR view of the world in IFR conditions . A synthetic vision system overlays relevant terrain information on the symbology of a primary flight display . The most advanced SVS PFDs use HUD symbology in place of the conventional pitch based PFD symbology to give the pilot a view into the energy state of the aircraft compared to the terrain it is overflying . Furthermore the HUD symbology helps the pilot during non - precision and precision approaches to the airport or the landing pad , clearly indicating the aircraft path and energy state . The terrain can be displayed in several different resolutions with the new state of the art being 3 arc sec . This resolution allows for an excellent definition in critical geographic areas like mountainous terrain . The most advanced SVS blend the Terrain Awareness and Warning System ( TAWS ) indications with the terrain depiction to show the pilot how close he / she is . In this case the terrain is colored with the TAWS alerts to draw the attention of the pilot and provide look - ahead warnings . Finally , very few SVS systems are tailored to the unique needs of the helicopter community . The improved resolution of the terrain coupled with the merging of the terrain with external sensor inputs improves the usefulness of SVS to helicopter pilots . Our goal at Astronautics for the introduction of SVS in our family of display products is to build a better PFD that can increase the situational awareness of the pilot in the most critical high workload situations like night flying or low visibility approaches .

http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/cosmos/S/Schwarzschild+Radius | Schwarzschild Radius The Schwarzschild radius is the radius of the event horizon surrounding a non - rotating black hole . Any object with a physical radius smaller than its Schwarzschild radius will be a black hole . This quantity was first derived by Karl Schwarzschild in 1916 : where R S is the Schwarzschild radius , G is the gravitational constant M is the mass of the object and c is the speed of light The following table gives the Schwarzschild radii of some familiar astronomical objects : Object Mass R S Sun 2.0 × 10 30 kg 3.0 × 10 3 m = 3 km Earth 6.0 × 10 24 kg 8.7 × 10 - 3 m = 8.7 mm Moon 7.3 × 10 22 1.1 × 10 - 4 = 0.11 mm Jupiter 1.9 × 10 27 2.2 m = 2.2 m Neutron Star 2.8 × 10 30 4.2 × 10 3 = 4.2 km | [

http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/cosmos/W/White+Dwarf | COSMOS - The SAO Encyclopedia of Astronomy W White Dwarf Sirius B was the first white dwarf discovered in 1862 . The bright source in this Chandra image is Sirius B shining in low - energy X - rays at ~ 25,000 Kelvin . Sirius A ( a normal star twice as massive as the Sun ) is the faint source to the upper right . In an optical image , Sirius A would appear 10,000 times brighter than Sirius B . Credit : NASA / CXC / SAO White dwarf stars mark the evolutionary endpoint of low to intermediate mass stars like our Sun . Fusion processes in the cores of these stars cease once the helium has been converted to carbon , since the contracting carbon core does not reach a high enough temperature to ignite . Instead , it contracts until it squeezes all of its electrons into the smallest possible space they can occupy . The resulting electron pressure arises due to quantum mechanical effects , and stops gravity from compressing the core further . A white dwarf is therefore supported by the pressure of electrons rather than energy generation in its core . Once the core has stopped contracting , the white dwarf has a temperature of over 100,000 Kelvin and shines through residual heat . These young white dwarfs typically illuminate the outer layers of the original star ejected during the red giant phase , and create a planetary nebula . This continued radiation from the white dwarf , coupled with the lack of an internal energy source , means that the white dwarf begins to cool . Eventually , after hundreds of billions of years , the white dwarf will cool to temperatures at which it is no longer visible and it will become a black dwarf . With such long timescales for cooling ( due mostly to the small surface area through which the star radiates ) , and with the age of the Universe currently estimated at 13.7 billion years , even the oldest white dwarfs still radiate at temperatures of a few thousand Kelvin , and black dwarfs remain hypothetical entities . Due to their high temperatures and small size , white dwarfs are found below the main sequence in the Hertzsprung - Russell diagram White dwarf stars are extreme objects that are roughly the same size as the Earth . They have densities typically around 10 9 kg / m 3 ( the Earth has a density of around 5 × 10 3 kg / m ) meaning that a teaspoon of white dwarf material would weigh several tonnes . The easiest way to picture this is to imagine squeezing the mass of the Sun into an object about the size of the Earth ! The result is that gravity at the surface of the white dwarf is over 100,000 times what we experience here on Earth , and this pulls the atmosphere of the star into an extremely thin surface layer only a few hundred metres high . White dwarfs in the globular cluster M4 , are much fainter than the dominant red and yellow stars . The cluster is predicted to contain about 40,000 white dwarfs . Credit : Harvey Richer ( University of British Columbia , Vancouver ) / NASA / NSSDC Another curious property of white dwarfs is that the more mass they have , the smaller they are . The Chandrasekhar limit of around 1.4 solar masses is the theoretical upper limit to the mass a white dwarf can have and still remain a white dwarf . Beyond this mass , electron pressure can no longer support the star and it collapses to an even denser state – either a neutron star or a black hole . The heaviest observed white dwarf has a mass of around 1.2 solar masses , while the lightest weighs only about 0.15 solar masses . Not all white dwarfs exist in isolation , and a white dwarf that is accreting material from a companion star in a binary system can give rise to several different eruptive phenomena . Cataclysmic variables result from either the build - up of a heavy surface layer of hydrogen on a white dwarf , or instabilities in the accretion process , while Type Ia supernovae are thought to be the explosion of a white dwarf star that has exceeded the Chandrasekhar limit .

What does it mean to be born on a cusp ? If your birthday falls between the 18th and 23rd of the month , you may be born on the cusp — or the borderline between two Sun signs . The Sun progresses from one sign into the next around the third week of every month — but the exact time and date varies slightly from year to year . Since most astrology books do n ’ t have enough pages to include this information , they just list approximate dates . Naturally , this has caused some confusion . For example , a person born on August 23 may wonder In truth , you only have one Sun sign because Sun changes to a new zodiac sign at an exact moment each year . Fortunately , the matter can be settled if you know your birth time . You can find out which sign you “ officially ” are right here on our website by running a free natal chart for yourself .

collaboration Are you a starter a doer or a finisher Do you like to take charge and have a plan or do you prefer to go with the flow In this love match it can be hard to get in sync Can we make a plan around here Fixed signs crave stability and mutable signs love change Compromise is key so you dont drive each other crazy The fixed sign in this relationship likes to make a decision or plan and stick with it By contrast the everchanging mutable sign is Sagittarius and Aquarius are both yang or masculine signs In astrology every sign has a polarity youre either yin feminine or yang masculine

6679 posts begin 644 contest Posted Sat Jan 11 2014 134 AM What is the Harmony Encore Hamony Encore is a new featurepacked Harmony cartrdge for the Atari 2600 It is fully reversecompatible with Harmony but offers 512k of ROM or RAM and 1M of EEPROM storage It was designed with the goal that it will run fully 100 of Atari 2600 games old and new Hamony Encores hardware is finished and the preproduction versions will have the same capabilities as upcoming production versions as they will use the same circuit boards and the same chips When can I buy Harmony Encore On January 18 2014 a preproduction standard edition Hamony Encore will be available at the NWCGE swap meet in Portland Oregon See httpwwwnwcgeorgblog for more information about this event Hamony Encore will not be available anywhere else until around March or April 2014 Please bear in mind that at the time of this writing Hamony Encores firmware is still being completed If you purchase Hamony Encore at the NWCGE swap meet even if we arent able to finish the firmware in time you will be able to enjoy your cartridge right away as its fully reversecompatible with existing Harmony firmware Although the existing firmware does not support all of Hamony Encores features those who purchase at the event will be contacted personally with firmware updates and will be the first to enjoy the features this new cartridge has to offer Even with the existing firmware Hamony Encore supports some games right now due to the custom bankswitching extension For example you will be able to play the Boulderdash demo right away and we will show you how What about Harmony 2 The Harmony 2 cartridge for the Atari 7800 is now known as the Concerto cartridge I know many are anxious for the release of this cartridge but it is still in development Its gone through more than a dozen hardware revisions including two groundup redesigns and currently its better than I ever imagined The latest redesign was conceived to be 100 reversecompatible with Harmony AND Hamony Encore at the hardware and firmware level so all of the games that work on Harmony and Harmony Encore will work on Concerto We hope Concerto will be done in time for CGE 2014 if there is one or PRGE 2014 Should I get a Harmony or Harmony Encore Harmonys design philosophy was to bring you a versatile inexpensive flash cartridge for the Atari 2600 It was a design decision to balance cost and compatibility and as such Harmony is indeed inexpensive yet supports more than 99 of past and present games Hamony Encore was conceived in response to concerns that Harmony could not play 100 of games such as the BoulderDash demo and some new 64k and up homebrew games such as Zippy the Porcupine which is currently in development Currently new homebrew boards are being devised to support these larger games and the Hamony Encore will support games with up to 512k ROMRAM Not everyone wishes to wait for the Concerto cartridge or to pay the extra cost to buy it and not everyone owns an Atari 7800 so Harmony Encore is intended to serve that niche How much will Harmony Encore cost Although the price of the production version is not yet determined we will be offering the special preproduction standard edition of Hamony Encore exclusively at the NWCGE swap meet for 8499 We will let you know how far along the firmware is next week and you are welcome to try out Harmony Encore to determine if youre ready to buy now or wait I was thinking about buying a Harmony Should I wait for Harmony Encore instead If you arent worried about the fewer than 1 of games that Harmony wont play get a Harmony If you want your cartridge to support 100 of games you can wait or you can buy and enjoy a Harmony now and upgrade later See the next section below Can I upgrade my Harmony to Harmony Encore If you bought a Harmony cartridge from httpharmonyatariagecom during or after November 2013 your cartridge should support an upgrade to Hamony Encore This is because these newer Harmony cartridges use the same circuit board as Harmony Encore Upgrading requires shipping your cartridge back to me and I will attach the additional chips and other components needed to turn it into Harmony Encore and Ill reprogram test and relabel your cartridge then ship it back to you The fee for the upgrade will be around 25 plus shipping costs The upgrade service will be available beginning around March or April 2014 Can I just buy the parts and upgrade my Harmony myself This is not recommended The chips needed to upgrade are all surfacemount with one being a finepitch surface mount component 05 mm pitch that requires a considerable level of soldering skill However if you are convinced that you can do it and have experience with finepitch surface mount parts we are willing to let you know what parts to buy but we can not be responsible for any damages caused and all warranties are void If anyone has questions please ask Random Terrain

http://atheism.about.com/od/abouthumanism/a/cultural.htm | Humanities Religion & Spirituality Cultural and Literary Humanism by Austin Cline Updated April 28 , 2017 The label “ miscellaneous ” might seem derogatory , but it is n ’ t meant to be such . The types of humanism covered in this section are the types which are simply not commonly thought of when humanism is discussed . They are valid categories , to be sure , but they are n ’ t the focus of most of the discussions on this site . Cultural Humanism The label of Cultural Humanism is used to refer to cultural traditions which , originating in ancient Greece and Rome , evolved through European history and have come to be a fundamental basis of Western culture . Aspects of this tradition include law , literature , philosophy , politics , science , and more . Sometimes , when religious fundamentalists criticize modern secular humanism and accuse it of infiltrating our cultural institutions for the purpose of undermining them and eliminating all vestiges of Christianity , they are actually conflating secular humanism with cultural humanism . True , there is some overlap between the two and at times there can be quite a lot of similarity ; nevertheless , they are distinct . Part of the problem for the argument made by religious fundamentalists is that they fail to understand that humanist traditions form the background of both secular humanism and cultural humanism . They seem to assume that Christianity , but especially Christianity as they perceive it should be , is the only influence on Western culture . That is simply not true — Christianity is an influence , but just as important are the humanist traditions which date back to Greece and Rome . Literary Humanism In many ways an aspect of Cultural Humanism , Literary Humanism involves the study of the “ humanities . ” These include languages , philosophy , history , literature — in short , everything outside of the physical sciences and theology The reason why this is an aspect of Cultural Humanism is that an emphasis on the value of such studies — not simply for material gain but instead for their own sake — are part of the cultural traditions we have inherited from ancient Greece and Rome and which have been transmitted through European history . For many , the study of the humanities could be an important virtue itself or a means to the development of an ethical and mature human being . In the 20th century , the label “ Literary Humanism ” was used in a more narrow sense to describe a movement in the humanities which focused almost exclusively on “ literary culture ” — that is to say , the ways in which literature can help people through introspection and personal development . It was at times elitist in its outlook and even opposed to the use of science in developing a better understanding of humanity . Literary Humanism has never been a philosophy which has been involved with such humanist programs like social reform or religious critique . Because of this , some have felt that the label misuses the word “ humanism , ” but it seems more accurate to simply observe that it uses the concept of humanism in an older , cultural sense .

http://atheism.about.com/od/bibledictionaryonline/p/familyfamilies.htm | Humanities Religion & Spirituality Family Home Evening Family Home Evening is an Immportant Part of the LDS Church Dani Wilde , Phoenix , Arizona , grew up in a family of five children and learned early on that family home evening was the teaching habit of her household , which is why she gathers weekly with her family of five . Photo courtesy of Mormon Newsroom © All rights reserved . by Rachel Bruner Updated March 17 , 2017 In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints we believe in unified families and one of the best ways to strengthen our families is through regular Family Home Evening . In the LDS Church , Family Home Evening is usually held every Monday evening when a family gathers together , goes over family business , has a lesson , prays and sings together , and often holds a fun activity . Family Home Evening ( also called FHE ) is n ' t just for young families , either , it ' s for everyone one because it can be adapted for all kinds of families . Why Family Home Evening ? We believe the family is the basic unit of God ' s plan . ( See The Family : A Proclamation to the World and God ' s Plan of Salvation Because Family Home Evening is so important the LDS Church does not schedule any meetings or other activities on Monday nights but encourages families to keep Mondays free so they can be together . President Gordon B . Hinckley said the following : " [ Family Home Evening ] was to be a time of teaching , of reading the scriptures , of cultivating talents , of discussing family matters . It was not to be a time to attend athletic events or anything of the kind . . . . But in the increasingly frantic rush of our lives it is so important that fathers and mothers sit down with their children , pray together , instruct them in the ways of the Lord , consider their family problems , and let the children express their talents . I am satisfied that Family Home Evening , Ensign , Mar 2003 , 4 . Conducting Family Home Evening The person in charge of Family Home Evening is the one conducting the meeting . This is usually the head of the household ( such as the father , or mother ) but the responsibility of conducting the meeting can be assigned to another person . The conductor should prepare for Family Home Evening in advance by assigning duties to other families members , such as who will give the prayers , lesson , plan any activities , and make refreshments . In a smaller ( or younger ) family the duties are usually shared by the parents and any Opening Family Home Evening Family Home Evening is started when the conductor gathers the family together and welcomes everyone there . An opening song is then sung . It does n ' t matter if your family has music or not , or ca n ' t sing very well , what matters is that you pick a song to help bring a spirit of reverence , joy , or worship to your Family Home Evening . As members of the LDS Church we often choose our songs from the Church Hymnbook or the Children ' s Songbook , which can be found online LDS Church Music or purchased from the LDS Distribution Center . After the song a prayer is offered . ( See How to Pray . ) Family Business After the opening song and prayer it ' s time for family business . This is the time that parents and children can bring up issues that affect their family , such as upcoming changes or events , vacations , concerns , fears , and needs . Family business can also be used to discuss difficulties or other family problems that should be addressed with the entire family . An Optional Scripture and Testimony After family business you can have a family member read or recite a scripture ( one that relates to the lesson is great but not required ) , which is a nice option for larger families . This way everyone can contribute to the Family Home Evening . The scripture does n ' t need to be long and if a child is young , a parent or older sibling could whisper to them the words to say . Another optional aspect of Family Home Evening is to allow one or more members of the family to share their testimonies How to Gain a Testimony to learn more . ) A Lesson Next comes the lesson , which should be prepared in advance and focus on a topic that is appropriate for your family . Some ideas include Faith in Jesus Christ baptism the Plan of Salvation eternal families , respect , the Holy Ghost , etc . For great resources see the following : Lessons and Talks Support Materials for Families Family Home Evening Lessons LDS Media Library Activities , Games , Songs , Puzzles and More Closing Family Home Evening After the lesson Family Home Evening is ended with a song followed by a closing prayer . Choosing a closing ( or opening ) song that corresponds with the lesson is a great way to re - emphasis what is being taught . At the back of both the Church Hymnbook and Children ' s Songbook there is a topical index to help find a song that relates to your lesson ' s topic . Activity and Refreshments After the lesson comes the time for a family activity . This is the time to bring your family together by doing something together ! It can be anything fun , like a simple activity , a planned outing , a craft , or a great game . The activity does n ' t need to correspond with the lesson , but if it does that would be great . Part of an activity can also be to make or enjoy some refreshments together . See these great resources for some fun ideas Family Home Evening is for Everyone The great thing about holding Family Home Evening is that it is adaptable to any family situation . Everyone can have Family Home Evening . Whether you ' re single , a young married couple with no children , divorced , widowed , or an older couple who ' s children have all left home , you can still hold your own Family Home Evening . If you live alone you can invite friends , neighbors , or relatives to come and join you for a fun Family Home Evening or you can hold one all by yourself . So do n ' t let the busyness of life pull you away from your family , but instead strengthen your family by holding regular Family Home Evening once a week . ( Use the Family Home Evening Outline to plan your first one ! ) You ' ll be amazed at the positive results you and your family will experience . As President Hinckley said , " If there was a need 87 years ago [ for Family Home Evening ] , that need is certainly much greater today " ( Family Home Evening Ensign , Mar 2003 , 4 . ) Updated by Krista Cook Continue Reading | [

http://atheism.about.com/od/christianchurchchurches/p/PantheonRome.htm | Humanities Religion & Spirituality Pantheon in Rome : The History Behind Its Perfect Ancient Architecture Achim Thomae / Getty Images by Austin Cline Updated February 16 , 2018 Today a Christian church , the Pantheon is the best preserved of all ancient Roman buildings and has been in near - continuous use since Hadrian ’ s reconstruction . From a distance the Pantheon is not as awe - inspiring as other ancient monuments — the dome appears low , not much higher than surrounding buildings . Inside , the Pantheon is among the most impressive in existence . Its inscription , M · AGRIPPA · L · F · COS · TERTIUM · FECIT , means Marcus Agrippa , son of Lucius , consul for the third time , built this . Origin of the Pantheon in Rome The original Pantheon of Rome was built between 27 & 25 BCE , under the consulship of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa . It was dedicated to 12 gods of heaven and focused on Augustus ’ cult and Romans believed that Romulus ascended to heaven from this spot . Agrippa ’ s structure , which was rectangular , was destroyed in 80 CE and what we see today is a reconstruction done in 118 CE under the leadership of emperor Hadrian , who even restored the original inscription on the facade . Architecture of the Pantheon The identity of the architect behind the Pantheon is unknown , but most scholars attribute it to Apollodorus of Damascus . The parts of Hadrian ’ s Pantheon are a columned porch ( 8 massive granite Corinthian columns in front , two groups of four behind ) , an intermediate area of brick , and finally the monumental dome . The Pantheon ’ s dome is the largest surviving dome from antiquity ; it was also the largest dome in the world until Brunelleschi ’ s dome on the Duomo of Florence was completed in 1436 . The Pantheon and Roman Religion Hadrian seems to have intended his rebuilt Pantheon to be a sort of ecumenical temple where people could worship any and all gods they wished , not just local Roman gods . This would have been keeping with Hadrian ’ s character — a widely traveled emperor , Hadrain admired Greek culture and respected other religions . During his reign , an increasing number of Roman subjects either did n ’ t worship Roman gods or worshiped them under other names , so this move made good political sense , too . Interior Space of the Pantheon The Pantheon has been called a “ perfect ” space because the diameter of the rotunda is equal to that of its height ( 43m , 142ft ) . The purpose of this space was to suggest geometrical perfection and symmetry in the context of a perfect universe . The interior space could fit perfectly either in a cube or in a sphere . The massive interior room is designed to symbolize the heavens ; the oculus or Great Eye in the room is designed to symbolize the light - and life - giving sun . Oculus of the Pantheon The central point of the Pantheon is far above visitors ’ heads : the great eye , or oculus , in the room . It looks small , but it ’ s 27ft across and the source of all light in the building — symbolic of how the sun is the source of all light on earth . The rain that comes through collects in a drain in the center of the floor ; the stone and moisture keep the interior cool through the summer . Every year , on June 21st , the rays of the sun at the Construction of the Pantheon How the dome has been able to bear its own weight has been a matter of great debate — if such a structure were built today with unreinforced concrete , it would quickly collapse . The Pantheon , though , has stood for centuries . No agreed - upon answers to this mystery exist , but speculation includes both an unknown formulation for the concrete as well as spending a lot of time tamping the wet concrete to eliminate air bubbles . Changes in the Pantheon Some lament the architectural incoherence in the Pantheon . We see , for example , a Greek - style colonnade on the front with a Roman - style interior space . What we see , however , is not how the Pantheon was originally constructed . One of the most significant changes was the addition of two bell towers by Bernini . Called “ asses ’ ears ” by Romans , they were removed in 1883 . In a further act of vandalism , Pope Urban VIII had the bronze ceiling of the portico melted down for St . Peter ’ s portico . Pantheon as a Christian Church One reason why the Pantheon has survived in such remarkable shape while other structures are gone may be the fact that Pope Boniface IVI consecrated it as a church dedicated to Mary and the Martyr Saints in 609 . This is the official name which it continues to bear today and masses are still celebrated here . The Pantheon has also been used as a tomb : among those buried here are the painter Raphael , the first two kings , and first queen of Italy . Monarchists maintain a vigil at these latter tombs . Influence of the Pantheon As one of the best - surviving structures from ancient Rome , the influence of the Pantheon on modern architecture almost can not be underestimated . Architects from all over Europe and America from the Renaissance through the 19th century studied it and incorporated what they learned into their own work . Echoes of the Pantheon can be found in numerous public structures : libraries , universities , Thomas Jefferson ’ s Rotunda , and more . It ’ s also possible that the Pantheon has had an impact on Western religion : the Pantheon appears to be the first temple built with general public access in mind . Temples of the ancient world were generally limited only to specific priests ; the public may have taken part in religious rituals in some fashion , but mostly as observers and outside the temple . The Pantheon , however , existed for all the people — a feature which is now standard for houses of worship in all religions of the West . Hadrian wrote about the Pantheon : “ My intentions had been that this sanctuary of All Gods should reproduce the likeness of the terrestrial globe and of the stellar sphere . . .The cupola . . .revealed the sky through a great hole at the center , showing alternately dark and blue . This temple , both open and mysteriously enclosed , was conceived as a solar quadrant . The hours would make their round on that caisson ceiling so carefully polished by Greek artisans ; the disk of daylight would rest suspended there like a shield of gold ; rain would form its clear pool on the pavement below , prayers would rise like smoke toward that void where we place the gods . ” Continue Reading | [

http://atlantablackstar.com/2012/12/23/72-percent-of-african-american-children-are-raised-in-single-parent-homes/ | Editor ' s Picks Politics National Parenting 72 Percent of African - American Children Are Raised in Single Parent Homes By Kevin Webb December 23 , 2012 25 14661 A staggering number of African - American children are raised in single parent homes , compared to the rest of America , and the rest of the world . A study conducted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development found that 25.8 percent of American children are raised by a single parent , a number high above the 14.9 percent average seen in the other 26 countries surveyed . Among African - Americans the rate nearly tripled , with 72 percent of black children relying on a single parent . “ The in - work poverty is higher in the U.S. than other OECD countries , because at the bottom end of the labor market , earnings are very low , ” said Willem Adema , a senior economist in the group ’ s social policy division . “ For parents , the risk is higher because they have to make expenditures on childcare costs . ” No doubt the prevalence of divorce has introduced single - parenthood as common place in the U.S. , but the figures are disproportionally high for African - Americans . Reasons for the disparity among blacks could stem from any number of reasons , ranging from the American justice system , to pregnancy among young unmarried couples . In addition to the number of black single parents , almost three in four black children are born outside of marriage . The reality is that recognizing or even curbing the trend does not work to the benefit of young single mothers already American single mothers find themselves challenged by high living costs , even though the U.S. government provides more child welfare spending than other countries . Employment is also more common for U.S. single parents , with 35.8 % earning an income compared to 21.3 percent internationally , but single mother families still suffer from a poverty rate of 63 percent . The plight of the working mother is compounded with a lack of childcare , which can affect childhood development . University of Texas law professor Lino Graglia went so far as to link minority underachievement on standardized tests to single parent households , characterizing the parents as “ usually female , uneducated and without a lot of money . ” Though Graglia ’ s statements are certainly not based in fact , the economic and social trends attributed to single - parenthood are should be discomforting to African - Americans . It may be too late for a return to the traditional family for Americans , but considering the weight of single parent child rearing can never be understated .

Her father is Paul McCartney ( yes , that one ) and according to her recently published cookbook , “ Food : Vegetarian Home Cooking , ” he played a role in spurring her love of vegetarian food in particular . McCartney says she is a photographer , not a professional cook , and her book is filled with her beautiful photographs of the dishes she lovingly creates . She spoke recently about vegetarian cooking . When did you first fall in love with food ? Growing up watching my mother cooking was a magical process . The smells that would drift in from the kitchen were tantalizing . I always loved it when my mum would bake banana bread . Yum . Why is healthy , vegetarian food important to you ? I love food that tastes satisfying but also has a sense of indulgence . I love creating meals that have great health values and are really tasty . Is it ever a struggle to convince your kids to eat vegetarian ? How can parents teach their kids to eat better food ? It is not a struggle … as I think ahead to cook recipes that I am content will deliver the health element I want them to have , but that they will enjoy eating . I make them soups that I blend , so they do n ’ t consider the amount of vegetables or white beans they are consuming . I do n ’ t like to debate over how much they need to eat . I just want them to eat it and enjoy it . What do you hope to achieve with the cookbook ? A lot of people I know are looking to reduce their meat consumption , but find it a bit daunting thinking of meat - free meals . I wanted to take that stress away . These recipes have been created to be tasty and easy to prepare , so that cooking can be an enjoyable experience . Are there any foods you do n ’ t cook with ? I do not cook much with Brussels sprouts ! They are my least favorite vegetable . Although I did try a grated Brussels sprouts coleslaw with a tangy lemon dressing , which was fantastic , so I may start making that . What ’ s your advice for the beginner cook who wants to cook simply and vegetarian , as you do ? Start out following recipes that are easy to follow . Soups are a great way to start cooking .

In a chilling warning , the Russia expert of New Republic , Julie Ioffe , said , “ There ’ s quite a bit of violence against people considered to be Black ” in Russia , raising new fears about the safety of Olympic athletes , visitors and media attending the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi .

During an “ Ask Me Anything ” discussion on the social media site Reddit Ioffe was asked by a Black college student whether it is safe for an African - American to study in Russia .

Some historians estimate that between A.D. 650 and 1900 , 10 million to 20 million people were enslaved by Arab slave traders . Others believe over 20 million enslaved Africans alone had been delivered through the trans - Saharan route alone to the Islamic world . Dr . John Alembellah Azumah estimates in his 2001 book “ The Legacy of Arab - Islam in Africa ” that over 80 million more Black people died over that route . Arab Enslavers Practiced Genetic Warfare The Arab slave trade typically dealt in the sale of castrated male slaves . Black boys between the age of 8 and 12 had their scrotums and penises completely amputated to prevent them from reproducing . About six of every 10 boys bled to death during the procedure , according to some sources , but the high price brought by eunuchs on the market made the practice profitable . Some men were castrated to be eunuchs in domestic service , and the practice of neutering male slaves was not limited to only Black males . “ The calipha in Baghdad at the beginning of the 10th Century had 7,000 black eunuchs and 4,000 white eunuchs in his palace , ” writes author Ronald Segal in his 2002 book “ Islam ’ s Black Slaves : The Other Black Diaspora . ” Next Page Pages : 1 2 3 4 5 TAGS arab enslaving blacks arab racism arab slavery Islamic slave trade trans saharan slavery zanj rebellion Previous article ‘ The Boondocks ’ Season 4 , Episode 7 : ‘ Freedomland ’ Next article ‘ Hit The Floor ’ Season 2 , Episode 2 : ‘ Passing ’ [ wpdevart_facebook_comment ] | [

http://atlantablackstar.com/2016/05/05/photo-of-black-army-cadets-with-their-fists-in-the-air-draws-criticism-group-accused-of-supporting-blm-movement/ | Politics National News Race Photo of Black Army Cadets with Their Fists in The Air Draws Criticism , Accused of Supporting BLM Movement By Tanasia Kenney May 5 , 2016 0 1852 Members of the U.S. Military Academy ’ s Class of 2016 pose for a photo with their fists raised in front of their barracks . The raised fist has long been a symbol of resistance , whether it be along the lines of race , gender , or socioeconomic status . A number of groups throughout history have used it to express their resistance to oppression and determination to overcome struggle ; from the Black Panther Party to labor unions , socialists and suffragists . Today , it ’ s mainly associated with the influential political activist group Black Lives Matter . This is exactly why a group of cadets at the West Point Academy are in hot water . A photo recently surfaced of 16 African - American cadets standing outside a barracks at the U.S. Military Academy with their fists in the air , The Army Times reports . The picture drew criticism as it circulated the internet , many accusing the young women of outwardly supporting the Black Lives Matter Movement . “ We can confirm that the cadets in this photo are members of the U.S. Military Academy ’ s Class of 2016 , ” said West Point ’ s director of public affairs Lt . Col . Christopher Kasker in an email to The Army Times . “ Academy officials are conducting an inquiry into the matter . ” Critics are also concerned that the cadets were in violation of the Department of Defense Directive 1344.10 , Political Activities by Members of the Armed Forces . The policy lists the do ’ s and do n ’ t ’ s for service members when it comes to political statements , party affiliations , etc . , according to The Army Times . For example , service members are allowed to join and attend the meetings of partisan or non - partisan groups when they ’ re NOT in uniform . A member of the Armed forces may not , however , “ display a partisan political sign , poster , banner , or similar device visible to the public at one ’ s residence on a military installation , even if that residence is part of a privatized housing development . ” Motivational coach and former soldier John Burk took to to his fitness website , In The Area , to voice his disapproval of the photo . He then posted his statement on Facebook , which was then shared over 1,200 times , reports . “ The students below in the picture have been making their voices heard more and more behind closed doors to senior ranking officers , until now , ” Burk wrote . “ This overt display of the black lives matter movement is not , in itself , wrong per say , but to do so while in uniform is completely unprofessional and not in keeping with what the USMA stands for , and as well as violating the DOD directive 1344.10 . ” He went on to condemn the cadets for publicly supporting a movement that is “ known for inflicting violent protest throughout various parts of the United States , calling for the deaths of police officers , and even going so far as to call for the deaths of white Americans . ” Burk revealed that the senior class had been trying to make their voices heard more and more through the anonymous phone app Yik Yak , for fear of being harshly punished or accused of racism for their views . “ It ’ s a really touchy subject here , ” an unnamed source told Burk concerning the reactions of white soldiers to the photo . ” We can get kicked out of West Point , or forced to repeat years for what is called a ‘ respect board . ’ They can be given for just making someone upset , so no one wants to get kicked out of college and lose their commission over something like this , especially since a white man , in this situation , is already at a disadvantage when a conversation like this The Black Lives Matter Movement , established in 2012 , seeks to address racial inequality and is “ working to rebuild the Black liberation movement , ” according to its official website . BLM was recently in the news after the Ghost Squad , a hacking group created from the Anonymous hactivist collective , shut down the organization ’ s website in protest to assert that “ All Lives Matter , ” not just Black ones , the International Business Times reports . “ Are these the type of “ leaders ” you want moving down to the line and leading your sons and daughters , graduates with an agenda ? , ” Burk wrote on his website . An investigation into the cadets ’ photo is still ongoing .

http://atlantadailyworld.com/2014/08/07/ebony-steele-was-forced-out-of-rickey-smiley-morning-show-dish-nation/ | Entertainment Home Entertainment Ebony Steele Was Forced Out at ‘ Rickey Smiley Morning Show ’ , ‘ Dish Nation ’ Terry Shropshire , National Correspondent 1.01K reads Reports have surfaced the day after Porsha ( Stewart ) Williams was hired as a permanent employee of “ Dish Nation ” that Ebony Steele ( pictured above with HeadKrack ) was basically shoved out of the door at the “ Rickey Smiley Morning Show ” because she had a falling out with the man whose name the show is named after . Williams , a star on the “ Real Housewives of Atlanta , ” had been the celebrity fill in on the “ Rickey Smiley Show ” and “ Dish Nation ” for the past several weeks , as a temporary replacement for Steele . Her unofficial audition went so well — Williams had an undiscovered flair for churning out entertainment gossip with flavor — that “ Dish Nation ” decided to keep her full time . Actress and model Claudia Jordan replaces Steele on the RSMS . As for Steele … While the Hip Hop Enquirer reports that a falling out happened between the former friends , there were no specifics as to what the source of the fallout was . But if one is the boss and the other is a talented and charismatic underling , guess which one is going to go ? Not hard to figure out . Besides , Smiley ’ s “ statement ” on Steele ’ s sudden departure had a robotic or mechanical feel to it , as if it were pulled from a saved computer file : “ After 7 years with “ The Rickey Smiley Morning Show , ” our girl Ebony Steele is moving on . We ’ ll miss her wit , charm and funny personality , and we thank her so much for everything she brought to the show . She will always be part of my radio family . ” Rumors had begun to surface that Smiley had become irked by Steele ’ s rising stardom as she was hosting and guesting at events all over the city and Southeast region . Steele is very accessible and her unpretentiousness and lack of outward arrogance make her a people magnet . Steele kept it classy , even though she has still not been given an explanation for her unceremonious ouster from both the radio show and “ Dish Nation . ” She said she will pursue her entrepreneurial dreams and other opportunities “ within the same family . ” In the end , this may prove to be a Godsend for Steele . “ Stay tuned , ” she said . 107.9 FM Claudia Jordan dish nation hires porsha williams ebony steele ebony steele fired headcrack hotspot . com Porsha Stewart Porsha Williams Real housewives of atlanta RHOA Rickey Smiley rickey smiley hires claudia jordan rickey smiley show Also On Atlanta Daily World : comments – add yours | [

http://atlantaedm.com/faqs/fa14-what-diameter-wire-do-you-use-.php | What diameter wire do you use ? Generally speaking , the standard wire used in most EDM jobs is .010 " in diameter . This is an optimal size that has enough surface area to conduct sufficient current to yield enough speed , yet not so much surface area as to increase the raw material wire and filtration cost . From here , most alternative wire diameter sizes involve smaller wire diameters that have smaller kerfs ( or the minimal material that is removed in a cut ) , and smaller internal radiuses . The other wire sizes we use besides .010 " is : .013 " , .008 " , .006 " , and .004 " . The minimal internal radius in a part depends on the type of cut being performed . With finish cuts , the .010 " diameter wire may leave a .0058 wire radius in the part . With a few exceptions , the smaller the wire , the longer the time to cut and the more the cost . back to list Price & delivery estimate in less than 4 hours , 98 % of the time !

Skin Fade Haircut : Should you be searching for a haircut that is up - to - date with the latest men ’ s hairstyle trends , Well your search is over , and you ’ ve found it ! ! I introduce you to the skin fade haircut which is among latest 2016 men ’ s hairstyle trends , now , you ’ re gonna know a lot more about it . If you are interested in this cute , elegant , stylish and unique hair cut , then read on . What Is The Skin Fade / Bald Fade Haircut ? A Skin Fade is the style achieved by cutting the hair lower and lower as you move with the clipper towards the neck . Though most haircuts require the locks to be the same length all around the head , skin fade haircuts demand the hair to be cut at a decreasing length level . The skin fade is especially unique because it is super unique and it stands out among other hairstyles . The difference in the hair sides and a full head of mane is constantly attractive and attention - grabbing . A particularly trendy , modern day look , and best of all , it is not difficult to get done and needs little or no maintenance . How to achieve the Skin Fade Haircut Step by Step : We will need t - liner clippers , heavy duty clippers , a really sharp razor blade , a mirror , and tiny fading remember to brush and a comb . First make your line ( fade line ) , perhaps about an inch above the ears . Then cut the hair to a really low length from the lower part of the hairline up to that particular point where the fade line is , working around the whole head — use your clippers ( lowest setting zero ) , mini - trimmers , t - liners , or a cut - throat razor to get a super fresh look . Following , do the process again on the next section directly above the recently barbed area ( perhaps half an inch higher ) , altering the clipper ’ s setting up a notch . This process will allow the hair to gradually “ fade ” as it gets down to the ears . Keep shaving using small and fast strokes to get rid of small bits of hair , rather than long strokes to take away large amounts of hair . Remember to brush the area you working on in order to see if the mane is faded and free of imperfections . Repeat the process until you reach the top of the edges of the head . If there are any uneven areas or ‘ steps ’ , go back over them with mini - trimmers or scissors and a nicely toothed comb to blend in the steps . When you have done the fade leaving no imperfections , use a razor blade or mini - trimmers to produce an extra sharp look and Shapen up the angles of the clients hair in order to upgrade the level of detail . Lastly , cut his ( your clients ) hair on the top as your client wants it to be or as you see fit depending on the head shape , whether a short or long hairstyle . Alot of guys are recently going for trending and modern - day looks so to have heads turn around and look at them this is the hair cut guaranteed to grab attention . Types Of Skin Fade / Bald Fade Here are twenty types of the Skin Fade Haircut . # 1 : Skin Fade with Curls Though Skin Fades can almost be impossible to achieve with curly hair , Having said that this is an exactly perfect look for curly haired dudes . You gotta let your hair on your head grow so to let natural curls show up . Join the Skin Fade on the sides and the back of the head and you will end up wearing a cute and unique hairstyle . # 2 : Brief and Simple A bald fade or a really short cut that fades to skin on the head sides is a relatively easy technique to get a neat look without crazy details or wacky designs This is the cut guaranteed to work well for careers in the military services or jobs that require a more decent and sharper look . # 3 : Magnificent Mohawk Combine an Afro - Mohawk with etched lines that highlight the shape of the client ’ s head . They ’ ll support the vibe of your general look without disturbing the curly Mohawk at the center of the head which is the star of the show and where all eyes want to be . # 4 : Haute Heights Do not under rate the ability of the sideburns to enhance the skin fade haircut . They may be somewhat retro , so modernize it by pairing it with a long trendy cut on top . It can be worn as a pompadour . Also , you can put in a texturizing hair product and swoop it to the side – depending on your level of creativity there are many ways to wear this hairstyle . # 5 : Wavy skin fade A nicely done mid - skin fade is in high demand for most dark men , so put a cheeky spin onto it with a design that mimics the waves inside the haircut instead of a part line , this could be more exciting and thrilling . # 6 : Old School and Cool Get the vibe of the freshmen from the nineties , with a higher top fade that is too cool for school . The extra elevation and curved line is also ideal for square shaped and round faces since it adds length to the top of the head - not to mention class # 7 : Balanced Cut with Beard Most times short fade haircut can similarly work like layers on longer hairstyles , it also provides a nice contour to the mane on top of the head with a nicely balanced full beard on the chin . It also adds a stylish texture on the middle needed for a cleaner appearance . # 8 : Side Part With Professional Skin Fade Are you searching for something that will be accepted in a professional work environment ? Then go for the side part with professional skin fade , because it is more polished and less rugged looking for a more military look or work - appropriate fade haircut ? opt for this one it ’ s stylish and decent .

It begins high at the top for a more serious look , and then you could try various trending styles on your beard . Personally , I think this haircut is sexy . # 10 : Fresh Sharp edges Here is simply an interpretation of the faded well carved haircut . The main haircut shows up if you join it with a syncing beard style . # 11 : Imitable Fade with Light Beard There are many styles one can go for , but the classy will always have more class as usual , join this tight and high hairstyle with a brushed beard and look exquisite , simple and dashing appearance guaranteed . # 12 : Balanced fade Cut I am 100 % positive that real gentlemen will cherish this exquisite fresh haircut , Just balance the head sides fade properly then supplement it with a well done beard . # 13 : Shaved Head Fade with Comb Over Obviously a fast technique to instantaneously soften your appearance for a more attractive haircut that will most definitely make her wow on that date night … The barbed part presents a nice tone to the rest of your skinned hair , Give it a shot . # 14 : Dapper and disconnected A head full of mane and chin full of facial hair my make your client look monotonous and too mature , or moreover not your clients taste .

June 4 , 2013 in Ireland Irish Film & Television | 23 comments Regular readers will know that I ca n ’ t watch anything Irish without wondering where it was made . Lately , I ’ ve been watching Game of Thrones , and learned that a lot of the show is filmed in Northern Ireland . Game of Thrones features many Irish actors and is filmed all over Northern Ireland . I ’ ve also been playing around with Google Maps , and have created a map showing the major Northern Ireland locations used for Game of Thrones thus far — just in case anyone ’ s planning to visit . You can explore the map below to find the locations ( blue pins ) and see what was filmed where , or you can scroll down and read the location notes on this page instead . There ’ s also a wonderful slideshow of location photos that I found on flickr at the end of the post . Warning : plenty of spoilers ahead if you ’ re not up - to - date with the show ! Interactive Map of Game of Thrones ’ shooting locations View Games of Thrones locations in Northern Ireland in a larger map Castle Ward , Downpatrick , Co . Down Castle Ward is stately home set in a 820 - acre estate . It has served as parts of Winterfell , the ancestral seat of House Stark . However , much of the exterior views are of an actual castle in Scotland improved with some CGI . The grounds of Castle Ward Forest Park housed the Lannister encampment in the first season . The Tourney of the Hand , filmed at Shane ’ s Castle Shane ’ s Castle , Randlestown , Co . Antrim Shane ’ s Castle is a ruin on the shore of Louth Neagh , and as such is a very versatile location for . Multiple scenes have been shot in and around the 2600 - acre estate ; it ’ s hosted the Tourney of the Hand in honor of Ned Stark , was seen to good effect when King Robert Baratheon and posse arrived at Winterfell , and served as the King ’ s Landing dungeons . ( I still get the shivers when I think of that newly - minted knight getting a lance in the neck . ) The shores of the nearby lough saw Brienne of Tarth despatch a group of wildmen while escorting Jamie Lannister to King ’ s Landing , and a distinctive arched bridge has been seen several times . The fact that Shane ’ s Castle has provide locations for both the frozen northlands of Westeros , and the more - temperate south , would seem the perfect testament to Northern ’ s Ireland ’ s changeable weather . Read about the legend of the Banshee of Shane ’ s Castle … . Moneyglass Estate , Toomebridge , Co . Antrim Various scenes have been shot here ( Winterfell in season 2 ; when Arya meets the caged men on the Kingsroad ) , but they all pale in comparison to the “ Red Wedding ” scene that shocked viewers so much . ( Those who had already read George R.R. Martin ’ s books , just smirked smugly . ) Shillanavogy Valley , Co . Antrim Below the slopes of Slemish mountain ( where St . Patrick slaved away minding sheep when first brought as a slave to Ireland ) , lies the Shillanavogy Valley , which provided the location of the Dothraki camp early in the series . Cushenden Caves , Co . Antrim This location is where ( in season 2 ) the ‘ Red Priestess ’ Melisandre of Asshai gave birth to her ‘ shadow baby ’ who later kills Renly Baratheon . The caves are a short walk from the village . Murlough Bay , Co . Antrim With views of Rathlin Island and the scottish mainland , Murlough Bay is breath - takingly beautiful , but hard to get to . Visitors have to follow a narrow road winding down a steep incline , andd some simply give up and go to one of the more - accessible strands . For actress Michelle Fairley ( Catelyn Stark ) , shooting at Murlough Bay was very special , because she used to swim there as a child . Murlough Bay provided the backdrop for Theon Greyjoy and Asha riding to the road to Pyke . The Dark Hedges , Ballymoney , Co . Antrim The Dark Hedges is an avenue of 200 - year - old beech trees on the Bregagh Road near Ballymoney . They were already one of Northern Ireland ’ s most - famous landmarks long before Ayra Stark escaped from King ’ s Landing disguised as a boy . The avenue is said to be haunted by the Grey Lady , a ghost who appears at dusk , but she has not made her debut in the series just yet . Ballycastle , Co . Antrim Around the other side of Fair Head , you ’ ll find the village of Ballycastle , birthplace of both Conleth Hall ( Varys ) and the character he plays , as some of the Free Cities ’ scenes have been filmed there . The Dark Hedges as it appears in GOT and real life . Larrybane Head , Co . Antrim Perhaps better - known as the site of the Carrick - A - Rede rope bridge ( which has not yet appeared in the series ) , the famous peninsula accessed by the bridge has been seen in the background several times in the series , but most notably as Storm ’ s End , seat of House Baratheon ( again , with the help of some CGI ) . Several key scenes were filmed there . Larne , Co . Antrim The exterior set for Castle Black was built near Larne , in the Ballylumford area , on the northeast side of the harbor . Another may have been built on the south side , at Mahermorne . Cairncastle , Co . Antrim A small village north of Larne , Cairncastle has proven another versatile location . Ned Stark beheads the Nightwatch deserter here in episode one , and Catelyn captures Tyrion . Various other minor scenes have been shot around the area . No direwolves are currently thought to be roaming these hillsides , however . Ballintoy Harbour Ballintoy Harbour ( note correct , British spelling ) served as Lordsport Harbor on the Iron Islands in the second season . ( See the photo slideshow below for some pics from the set at Ballintoy Harbour . ) A White Walker in Tollymore Forest Park / North of The Wall Downhill Strand / The Mussendun Temple , Castlerock , Co . Londonderry Viewed from the beach below ( Downhill Strand ) the Mussendun Temple was seen on the cliffs overlooking Dragonstone , when the seven idols of Westeros were burned . ( For location shots for this scene , see the slideshow below . ) The Temple was originally built as a library in imitation of an ancient Roman temple , it ’ s now used as picturesque setting for weddings . The temple is part of the Downhill Estate , but Downhill House itself was gutted by fire in the 1800 ’ s , and is just a shell today . Tollymore Forest Park , Co . Down The opening scenes of the pilot episode ( much of which became episode 1 , season 1 ) where a white walker slaughters some wildlings before reanimating one of them , was filmed in Tollymore . The snow - covered woods have been the regular stand - in for the wild lands north of the wall . Tyrion being arrested by Catelyn Stark ’ s bondsmen . Poulnagollum Cave , Co . Fermanagh No , the filmmakers have n ’ t imported Gollum into GoT to try and secure a tie - in deal with Lego , Poulnagollum ( which translates roughly as “ hole of the doves ” ) is a cave in the Marble Arch Caves Geopark . It appears in the show when Beric Dondarrion hides out there in season 3 . Co . Fermanagh is rich with caves , some of which are accessible through the Marble Arch Caves ’ visitor ’ s center . The Poulnagollum cave is only accessible by trained cavers , but it can be seen by following the Poulnagollum Cave Walk route in Belmore Forest . Inch Abbey , Downpatrick , Co . Down The ruins of Inch Abbey provided the backdrop for “ The Twins , ” Walder Frey ’ s twin castles in the riverlands . It is here that Catelyn Stark learns of her husband ’ s fate and vows revenge .

http://attackonamerica.net/operationnorthwoods.htm | Operation Northwoods and Body Of Secrets Posted on January 7 , 2003 by AttackOnAmerica Please read these 2 important articles on Operation Northwoods New book on NSA sheds light on secrets U.S. terror plan was Cuba invasion pretext ( You will find this article after the first article ) Operation Northwoods “ Meet the New Boss Same as the Old Boss ” Pentagon Proposed Pretexts For Cuba Invasion in 1962 In his new exposé of the National Security Agency entitled Body of Secrets , author James Bamford highlights a set of proposals on Cuba by the Joint Chiefs of Staff codenamed OPERATION NORTHWOODS . This document , titled Justification for U.S. Military Intervention in Cuba was provided by the JCS to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara on March 13 , 1962 , as the key component of Northwoods . Written in response to a request from the Chief of the Cuba Project , Col . Edward Lansdale , the Top Secret memorandum describes U.S. plans to covertly engineer various pretexts Are Americans The Victims of a Hoax ? The time has come to stop using the flag as a blindfold , to stop waving our guns and our gods at each other , to take a close look at the facts which have emerged from the attacks on the World Trade Towers and to recognize the very real possibility , indeed probability , that We The People are the victims of a gigantic and deadly hoax . In a normal terrorist event , the terrorists can not wait to take credit , in order to link the violence to the socio - political intent of the terrorist organization . Yet the prime suspect in the New York Towers case , ex ( ? ) CIA asset Osama Bin Laden ( whose brother is one of George W . Bush ’ s Texas business partners ) , has issued only two statements regarding the September 11th attacks , and both of those are denials of any involvement . Huge problems are emerging in the official view of events . It ’ s known that the United States was planning an invasion of Afghanistan long before the attacks on the World Trade Towers . Indeed the attacks on the World Trade Towers perfectly fit the timetable of an invasion by October stated by US officials just last summer . The 19 names of suspected hijackers released by the FBI do n ’ t point to Afghanistan . They come from Saudi Arabia , Egypt , United Arab Emirates ; all across the middle east without a focus in any one region . Indeed , even as the FBI was admitting that its list of 19 names was based solely on identifications thought to have been forged , Saudi Arabia ’ s Foreign Minister Prince Saudi Al - Faisal insisted that an investigation in Saudi Arabia showed that the 5 Saudi men were not aboard the four jetliners that crashed In a recent development , the BBC is reporting that the transcript of a phone call made by Flight Attendant Madeline Amy Sweeney to Boston air traffic controls shows that the flight attendant gave the seat numbers occupied by the hijackers , seat numbers which were NOT the seats of the men the FBI claimed were responsible for the hijacking ! FBI Chief Robert Mueller admitted on September 20 and on September 27 that at this time the FBI has no legal proof to prove the true identities of the suicidal hijackers . Yet in the haste to move forward on the already planned war in Afghanistan , our government and the FBI ( which does not have the best record for honesty in investigations to begin with , having been caught rigging lab tests , manufacturing testimony in the Vincent Foster affair , and illegally withholding / destroying evidence in the Oklahoma Bombing case ) are not taking too close In particular , the FBI , too busy harassing political dissenters to find spies in its midst , the long rumored mole inside the White House , or plug leaks in high - tech flowing to foreign nations , has willfully and criminally ignored the implications of some vital pieces of information the FBI is itself waving around at the public . We are being told that this crack team of terrorists , able to breeze past airport security as if it was n ’ t there , wound up leaving so much evidence in its wake that the bumbling Inspector Clouseau ( or the FBI ) could not fail to stumble over it . The locations where the terrorists supposedly stayed are so overloaded with damning materials that they resemble less a crimes scene , and more a “ B ” detective movie set , with vital clues always on prominent display for the cameras . Yet another problem lies with the described actions of the hijackers themselves . We are being told on the one hand that these men were such fanatical devotees of their faith that they willingly crashed the jets they were flying into buildings . Yet on the other hand , we are being told that these same men spent the night before their planned visit to Allah drinking in strip bars , committing not just one , but two mortal sins which would keep them out of Paradise no matter what else they did . Truly devout Muslims would spend the Because of the facts of the phony identifications , we do n ’ t really know who was on those planes . What we do know is that the men on those planes went to a great deal of trouble to steal the identities of Muslims , and to make sure those identities were seen and remembered , then to leave a plethora of planted clues around , such as crop dusting manuals , and letters in checked baggage ( why does a terrorist about to die need to check baggage ? ) that “ somehow ” did n ’ Fake terror is nothing new . According to recently released files , our government planned Operation NORTHWOODS to stage phony terror attacks against American citizens in the wake of the Bay Of Pigs , to anger Americans into support for a second invasion of Cuba . The plan was spiked by JFK . If our government has ever actually carried out such plans to stage phony terror attacks , the documents have remained classified . But given the reality of Operation NORTHWOODS , or the manner in which FDR maneuvered Japan into attacking Pearl Harbor , one can not rule It is also quite possible , indeed likely , that the United States is being spoofed by a third party to trigger a war . It has happened before . According to Victor Ostrovsky , a defector from Israel ’ s secret service , Mossad , Israel decided to mount a false flag operation designed to further discredit Libya , and provoke the US to attack an Arab nation . A transmitter loaded with pre - recorded messages was planted in Tripoli , Libya , by a Mossad team . The Trojan Horse ’ beamed out fake messages about Libyan - authorized bombings and planned attacks that were immediately intercepted by US electronic monitoring . Convinced by this disinformation that Libya was behind the 1986 bombing of a Berlin disco in which a US soldier died , President Ronald Reagan ordered massive air attacks on Libya , including an obvious - and illegal ( under US law ) attempt to assassinate Qadaffi himself . Some 100 Libyan civilians were killed , including Qadaffi ’ s two year old daughter . Libyan officials had no idea why they were attacked . It is worth remembering the motto of the Mossad is , “ By way of deception , thou shalt do war . ” Whether they were involved in the attacks or not , it can not be doubted that Israel has benefited from the attacks in New York . While world attention is focused on what the US will do in Afghanistan , Israel has escalated its attacks against Palestinians towns . Israel has repeatedly tried to claim that Palestinians were involved in the New York attacks , hoping to bury the Palestinian cause under the rubble of the World Trade Towers . Because of the faked IDs and stolen identities , we do n ’ t really know who planned the World Trade Towers attacks . We only know who they wanted us to blame . And we know that the United States has been tricked in the past into bombing someone who did not deserve the attack , and that those who were bombed then embarked on what from their point of view was justified retaliation that culminated over Lockerbie . And while bombs were falling and planes were crashing , Israel was laughing at us that we had been so easily fooled into bombing Israel ’ s targets for them . Are we being hoaxed again , by Israel , or by our own government , or by both ? It ’ s impossible to rule that out . Right now there are a lot of people who want war . Oil companies want Afghanistan ’ s petroleum products . Our corporations want “ friendlier ” markets . The CIA wants all that opium . And all those war - mongers , with all their greed and agendas , will not hesitate in the least to pour your tax dollars and your children ’ s blood all over Afghanistan , to Because of the vested interests at work here , American citizens must , more than at any other time in recent history , rely on themselves to decide what is happening in our nation . Too many of those who purport to report the “ truth ” to us are eager to grab more tax money and more children to pour into a war of invasion , poised at a region which has swallowed up every army that has tried to conquer it since the time of Alexander The Great . And one more thing . Take a good look at the map of Eurasia and plot out where the United States has military deployments . They march in a straight line through the middle of Eurasia , Macedonia , Bosnia , Kosovo , Georgia , Azerbaijan , Turkmenia , Uzbekistan , Afghanistan . The United States is prepared to cut the Russian Federation off from the oil rich middle east , and to control transportation routes from China and India into the Middle East . When Russia realizes that this is the real agenda , that ’ s when “ Dubya Dubya Three ” will really get going ! POSTSCRIPT : Looks like the cat is out of the bag . See http : / / english . pravda . ru / main / 2001 / 10 / 08 / 17401 . html Source : http : / / www . whatreallyhappened . com / hoax . html New book on NSA sheds light on secrets U.S. terror plan was Cuba invasion pretext By Scott Shane and Tom Bowman April 24 , 2001 WASHINGTON – U.S. military leaders proposed in 1962 a secret plan to commit terrorist acts against Americans and blame Cuba to create a pretext for invasion and the ouster of Communist leader Fidel Castro , according to a new book about the National Security Agency . “ We could develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area , in other Florida cities and even in Washington , ” said one document reportedly prepared by the Joint Chiefs of Staff . “ We could blow up a U.S. ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba , ” the document says . “ Casualty lists in U.S. newspapers would cause a helpful wave of indignation . ” The plan is laid out in documents signed by the five Joint Chiefs but never carried out , according to writer James Bamford in “ Body of Secrets . ” The new history of the Fort Meade - based eavesdropping agency is being released today by Doubleday . NSA regularly picks up the conversations of suspected terrorist financier Osama bin Laden , says Bamford , and has monitored Chinese and French companies trying to sell missiles to Iran . He provides new details about an Israeli attack on a Navy eavesdropping ship in 1967 , suggesting that the sinking was deliberate . And he reveals the loss of an “ entire warehouse ” full of secret cryptographic gear to the North Vietnamese in 1975 , at the end of the Vietnam War . Bamford , a former investigative reporter for ABC News who wrote “ The Puzzle Palace ” about the NSA in 1982 , said his new book is based mostly on documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act or found in government archives . “ NSA never handed me any documents , ” he said . “ It was a question of digging . ” He said he was most surprised by the anti - Cuba terror plan , code - named Operation Northwoods . It “ may be the most corrupt plan ever created by the U.S. government , ” he writes . The Northwoods plan also proposed that if the 1962 launch of John Glenn into orbit were to fail , resulting in the astronaut ’ s death , the U.S. government would publicize fabricated evidence that Cuba had used electronic interference to sabotage the flight , the book says . A previously secret document obtained by Bamford offers further suggestions for mayhem to be blamed on Cuba . “ We could sink a boatload of Cubans en route to Florida ( real or simulated ) . … We could foster attempts on lives of Cubans in the United States , even to the extent of wounding in instances to be widely publicized , ” the document says . Another idea was to shoot down a CIA plane designed to replicate a passenger flight and announce that Cuban forces shot it down . Citing a White House document , Bamford writes that the idea of creating a pretext for the invasion of Cuba might have started with President Dwight D . Eisenhower in the last weeks of his administration , when the plan for an invasion by Cuban exiles trained in the United States was hatched . Carried out in April 1961 , soon after Kennedy became president , the Bay of Pigs invasion proved a fiasco . Castro ’ s forces quickly killed or rounded up the invaders . Army Gen . Lyman L . Lemnitzer , chairman of the Joint Chiefs , presented the Operation Northwoods plan to Kennedy early in 1962 , but the president rejected it that March because he wanted no overt U.S. military action against Cuba . Lemnitzer then sought unsuccessfully to destroy all evidence of the plan , according to Bamford . Lemnitzer and those who served with him in 1962 as chiefs of the nation ’ s military branches are dead . But two former top Kennedy administration officials said yesterday that they were unaware of Operation Northwoods and questioned whether such a plan was ever drafted . “ I ’ ve never heard of Operation Northwoods . Never heard of it and do n ’ t believe it , ” said Theodore Sorenson , Kennedy ’ s White House special counsel . “ Obviously , it would be totally illegal as well as totally unwise . ” Robert S . McNamara , Kennedy ’ s defense secretary , said : “ I never heard of it . I ca n ’ t believe the chiefs were talking about or engaged in what I would call CIA - type operations . ” Bamford writes that besides the Joint Chiefs , then - Assistant Secretary of Defense Paul H . Nitze also favored “ provoking a phony war with Cuba . ” “ There may be a piece of paper ” on Northwoods , said McNamara . “ I just can not conceive of [ Nitze ] approving anything like that or doing it without talking to me . ” The book contains many other revelations in its detailed account of NSA , the biggest U.S. intelligence agency and Maryland ’ s largest employer , with more than 25,000 personnel at Fort Meade , site of its global eavesdropping efforts . Among them : In recent years , NSA has regularly listened to bin Laden ’ s unencrypted telephone calls . Agency officials have sometimes played tapes of bin Laden talking to his mother to impress members of Congress and select visitors to the agency . In the late 1990s , NSA tracked efforts by Chinese and French companies to sell missile technology to Iran , particularly the C - 802 anti - ship missile . The eavesdropping led to U.S. protests to the Chinese and French governments . When U.S. troops evacuated Vietnam in 1975 , “ an entire warehouse overflowing with NSA ’ s most important cryptographic machines and other supersensitive code and cipher materials ” was left behind . It was the largest compromise of such equipment in U.S. history , Bamford writes , but the agency still has not acknowledged it . When Israeli fighter jets attacked the NSA eavesdropping ship USS Liberty in the Mediterranean in 1967 , killing 34 Americans and wounding 171 , an NSA aircraft was listening in and heard Israeli pilots referring to the American flag on the ship . U.S. officials , including President Lyndon Baines Johnson , decided to forget the matter , Bamford writes , because they did not want to embarrass Israel . To this day , Israeli officials say their forces mistakenly attacked the U.S. ship . Bamford says the reason for the strike was Israel ’ s desperate effort to cover up its attacks on the Egyptian town of El Arish in the Sinai . The Liberty was sitting offshore and the Israelis feared that the ship would detect the operation , which included the shooting of prisoners . Yesterday , an NSA spokesperson questioned a point made in the book about the USS Liberty . “ We do not comment on operational matters , alleged or otherwise ; however , Mr . Bamford ’ s claim that the NSA leadership was ‘ virtually unanimous in their belief that the attack was deliberate ’ is simply not true , ” the spokesperson said . When he wrote “ The Puzzle Palace ” in 1982 , Bamford was attacked by some NSA officials , who said his revelations gave the Soviet Union and other U.S. adversaries too much information on the secret agency . One former director referred to him as “ an unconvicted felon . ” With the end of the Cold War , the agency has been less guarded . NSA ’ s current director , Air Force Lt . Gen . Michael V . Hayden , has granted a number of interviews . Hayden “ cracked the door open a tiny bit , ” said Bamford , partly to burnish NSA ’ s public image and correct misconceptions .

http://attackontitan.neoseeker.com/wiki/Walls | Main Characters Titans Series Other Forums Help Edit Page Discussion History Walls Walls Rose , Maria and Sina as well as the periphery towns of each wall The Walls are centuries old structures that were built during a time of human strife at the hands of the Titans in which they faced almost complete eradication . To ensure the survival of as many humans as possible , humanity built 50 meter high walls to protect their last known stronghold which also dig five times the average height of a human beneath the ground . The top of each wall is armed with hundreds of canons and catapults to fire on titans that get too close to the wall . The men that first built , protected and repaired the wall become the first members of the Garrison Wall titan revealed by Female Titan scaling Wall Sina Due to the vast size of the walls , it takes a lot of men and effort to protect them in their entirety . In order to balance this out , four towns were built on the periphery of each wall , one at each cardinal direction , to draw titans to the large concentration of people within the periphery towns . This allows for a more concentrated line of defense as the Garrison are more likely to know where Titans will strike . The walls seem to be composed of Colossal - class titans colloquially referred to as Wall Titans . Not officially stated , it is speculated that the titans were the ones who made the walls using their hardening ability , somewhat seen used by Titan Shifter Annie Leonhart . Very few people still know of the existence of titans within the walls , which were originally revealed to the Survey Corps when the female titan tried to escape by climbing up Wall Sina , damaging the surface extensively enough to reveal them behind the concrete . However Pastor Nick , the pioneer of those who revere the walls as holy , had foreknowledge of the existence of titans within the walls but would not reveal how or why the titans are there , despite extensive interrogation from Hange Zoë Contents hide 1 Wall Maria 1.1 Known Locations 2 Wall Rose 2.1 Known Locations 3 Wall Sina 3.1 edit Wall Maria Wall Maria is the outermost wall of the kingdom the last remnants of humanity reside in . Like the other walls that protect humanity , it is 50 m in height and due to it being the first wall , it is also the biggest with a radius of 480km . Between Wall Maria and the next inner wall , Wall Rose , there is 100km . Five years prior to the events of Attack on Titan , the wall was breached by a Colossal - class titan , ending a 100 year period of peace . Shiganshira District edit Wall Rose Wall Rose is the middle wall protecting humanity , located within Wall Maria . It is 380 km in radius , making it smaller than Maria , also . The distance between Wall Rose and Wall Sina is roughly 130 km . 5 years after the breach of Wall Maria , a Colossal - class Titan destroyed part of the wall letting a titans who had made it through Wall Maria into Wall Rose . However , the hole was later plugged with a boulder by Eren Yeager , who titan shifted in order to move it . Utopia District Karanese District Trost District Klorva District Wall Sina Wall Sina is the innermost wall in the Kingdom protected primarily by the Military Police . It is considered the safest place within the Kingdom and as such is there the King resides . It is 250 km in radius . The distance between Wall Sina and Wall Rose is around 130 km .

http://attackontitan.wikia.com/wiki/Titan_Shifter | in : Needs page number Intelligent Titans Nine Titans Titans Power of the Titans English View source Share Manga Anime Live - action movies Power of the Titans Name 巨人の力 Kyojin no Chikara Other names Titan power Information Abilities Human - to - Titan transformation Human form recovery Regeneration Hardening skin Human - level intelligence Memory inheritance Debut Manga To You , 2000 Years From Now What are you ? A man ? Or a Titan ? Kitz Weilman to Eren Yeager The power of the Titans 巨人の力 Kyojin no Chikara , also translated as Titan power ( s ) ) allows Subjects of Ymir to transform into intelligent Titans known as the Nine Titans , regenerate injuries , and access the memories of previous Subjects of Ymir that held the power . If a Pure Titan gains the power of the Titans , that Titan will return to being a human . Contents show Description Transformation Frieda bites her hand to transform In order to transform into one of the , a human with the power of the Titans must suffer an injury that draws blood ( often self - harm ) while having a solid goal or belief in mind at the moment of injury . Being injured by another person is also sufficient . Once the transformation is initiated , a burst of energy is released , followed by the generation of the Titan body and a release of hot steam . After transforming , the human body rests within the nape of the Titan ' s neck as the center of control . The human body is If a Titan form is pushed to its limit , the human will emerge from the nape of its neck , sometimes in a semi - conscious or entirely unconscious state . If a Titan form is not exhausted , then its human form can emerge from the Titan form in full consciousness . In some cases , a human is able to partially emerge from their Titan body without fully leaving the nape . After the power of the Titans is used , oftentimes the area around the emerging human ' s eyes is marked by dark lines , which resemble the Titan in their possession , for a short period of time . The ability to transform into a Titan can be hindered by injuries inflicted on the human body . A human can transform into a Titan with injuries as severe as a missing limb , but only if a previous transformation has not occurred recently . If a human emerges from their Titan form and receives severe injury , this person can not transform into a Titan again until said injuries have healed . Eren getting absorbed into his Titan after multiple transformations Those with the power of the Titans appear to be resistant to the normal absorption that creates mindless Pure Titans . However , this does not mean that they are immune to it . In the case of Eren Yeager , it has been shown that repeated transformations in a short period of time lead to decreased control over the Titan form , as well as diminished Titan size and power . As such , it seems that there is a limitation on how long a human can remain in a transformed Titan state before risking absorption . The length of time spent in a controllable transformed Titan depends on how skilled the human is , although even the most experienced can become incredibly fatigued for as long as several days after repetitive use . The exception to this appears to be the Cart Titan , which is known for its great endurance . Pieck is able to stay in her Titan form for at least two months . Regeneration Galliard and Pieck regenerating Those with the power of the Titans can regenerate their bodies , as long as they have the will to live . They are even able to grow back their entire head . Regeneration from severe injuries such as lost limbs can strain their powers and prevent them from transforming for a period of time ; healing takes much longer as a human than as a Titan . The time it takes to regenerate depends on the extent of the injury and how focused the individual is on healing that area . The healing is not absolute , however , and can be overwhelmed if the injury is severe enough . It is also possible to delay the healing , which Eren uses to infiltrate Marley as an injured soldier . The only surefire way to kill a human with the power of the Titans is through severing the brain ' s connection to the rest of the body , although it is possible to survive even this by transferring the mind to the rest of the nervous system . Memory inheritance Armin sees Bertolt ' s Colossus Titan in his dream Those who inherit the are also able to see the memories of previous inheritors to some extent . Armin Arlert says that touching objects or people can help trigger these memories . Blood relations between inheritors play a significant role in passing these memories . Both the Reiss and Tybur families kept their Titans — the Founding Titan and the War Hammer Titan , respectively — within the family , and because of that , they were able to access memories going back by several generations , up to at least the Great Titan War Other inheritors are shown to be able to see the memories of the previous inheritor at the very least . This process appears to fail when blood relations are interrupted or not present : Ymir and Armin did not receive any memories upon inheriting their Titans , in contrast to the Reiss family who seemingly gained their memories right away . Porco Galliard is unable to see the memories of his brother Marcel possibly due to Ymir being between them in the inheritance line , although Porco could see Ymir ' s memories . Sometimes , the new inheritor will have dreams of a previous one , such as the case of Armin dreaming of Bertolt Hoover ' s final moments . Curse of Ymir Kruger during his final year Each person who gains the power of the Titans is fated with the " Curse of Ymir " ユミルの呪い Yumiru no Noroi ) , which limits their lifespan to only 13 years after first acquiring it . During the last years of their life , their body will weaken until they perish . Both Eren Kruger and Uri Reiss were sick and appeared to have aged considerably during their final year . Royal blood Zeke ' s " scream " ability is similar to the Founding Titan ' s Royal blood allows the " full use of the power of the Titans . " This is common knowledge in Marley . Only descendants of the royal family can fully utilize the Founding Titan ' s powers . Zeke Yeager , a royal from his mother ' s side , inherited the Beast Titan , but thanks to his royal blood , he can mimic some of the Founder ' s abilities , such as creating and controlling Pure Titans and even making them move at night using only moonlight ; no other Beast Titan had these abilities . Unlike the Founding Titan , however , the control over Titans is not perfect , as one of them had shown some disobedience to Zeke ' s orders . Transference Ymir eats Marcel , gains the power of the Titans , and becomes human The power of the Titans can be transferred to a new host , should the current host be devoured by a Titan . This allows an ordinary Titan become human again and possess the power of the Titans , and inherit one or more of the ' abilities as well as the memories of the previous inheritors . This has been the case with the for over a thousand years . However , according to Rod Reiss , the power of the Titans resides within a human ' s spinal fluid , meaning that to gain the Titan ' s power , it is not necessary to eat the entire human , but rather a Titan can simply bite through the spine and ingest said fluid . Titan serums are , in fact , the spinal fluid of Titans , though study of the serums is difficult due to the serum ' s rapid rate of evaporation upon contact with air . If an individual with the power of the Titans dies before it can be transferred , the power will be passed on to the first baby among the Subjects of Ymir who is born directly after the said inheritor ' s death , regardless of distance or relation to the previous inheritor . Ackerman clan Main article : Ackerman clan The Ackerman clan , when awakened , can manifest the power of the Titans in some form without becoming or inheriting a Titan . They automatically gain the combat experience of every Ackerman before them via " paths , " similar to how memory inheritance works . Trivia In the August 2016 Issue of Bessatsu Shonen Magazine Hajime Isayama was asked of what is it like to come out of a Titan ' s body . He stated , " Just think that it ' s like coming out from a sauna . " In the October 2018 Issue of Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine , Isayama confirmed that Eren Reiner , and others do not feel pain if their Titan bodies are damaged .

http://attemptnwin.com/answers/difference-organic-inorganic-substances/ | What is the difference between organic and inorganic substances ? « Back to Questions List Organic and inorganic compounds are members of large class of chemical compounds We talk about organic compounds when we talk about living organisms . There is an international union of pure and applied chemistry which normally gives definitions to various chemical terms . But there are not any clear cut definitions for organic and inorganic substances and it still remains an open debate from different perspectives of chemists and biologists . Organic compounds are said to be the ones that contain a carbon - hydrogen bond . Most of the inorganic compounds do not contain carbon . There are many exceptions to this definition in the case of both organic and inorganic compounds . Organic substances include nucleic acids , fats , sugars , proteins , enzymes and fuels . All these substances include a carbon - hydrogen bond . Inorganic substances include water , metals , non metals , acids , bases , salts and gases like carbon dioxide , oxygen , minerals like oxides and sulfides . Diamond is made of carbon and yet is an inorganic substance . Though oxygen and carbon dioxide are associated with living organisms , they are inorganic too . There are organic compounds that do not have any carbon hydrogen bonds like urea ( CO ( NH2 ) 2 ) which is the main constituent of urine and carbon tetrachloride ( CCl4 ) . CCl4 is considered organic due to its chemical behavior . Methane ( CH4 ) is an organic compound . The series CH4 , CH3Cl , CH2Cl2 and CHCl3 are all organic and CCl4 being the final member of the series that behaves in the same way as other compounds in this group . The organic molecules normally have poor water solubility , poor electrical conductivity How are organic compounds classified ? How does bleach remove stains ? What makes glue sticky ? | [

Badd . His motivational work since leaving the squared circle may qualify him for the opposite moniker . In 2007 Mero founded Champion of Choices , a Florida - based nonprofit through which Mero works to spread a message of empowerment and positivity . Instead of performing in front of thousands for the WWE or WCW , Mero speaks to hundreds in church halls and school auditoriums . He gave 186 presentations in 2013 , he said , and is on track to top 200 this year — including a March 30 talk at the Auburn Church of the Nazarene . His audiences may be smaller , but the message is urgently bigger , Mero said . " Every time we speak , we receive from 100 to 200 messages , and the most common is , ' This changed my life , ' " he said over the phone Friday , just before a speaking engagement in Lake Placid , Fla . Mero , who graduated from Liverpool High School , went on to win the New York Golden Gloves boxing tournament before becoming a pro wrestler . He frequently cites the bad decisions of friends in that industry — several of whom died from drug abuse and suicide — as incentive for forming Champion of Choices . His own mistakes were just as motivational , he said . " I try to inspire by showing where my good choices and where my bad choices took me , " he said . " Everyone wants bling - bling and an Escalade , but no one wants to work for anything anymore . You have to achieve things in life . " Much of Mero ' s outreach has been directed toward children and the dangerous issues they face — bullying , self - harm and suicide , which is the third - leading cause of death for people ages 10 to 24 , according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . " It ' s so different from when I was a kid in high school , " Mero said . " A lot of kids feel like they ' re hopeless , like there ' s not a future for them . It ' s a scary place to be . " It ' s for that reason that Mero spent a recent night answering letters until 3 a.m. At one recent high school visit , he said , he heard from six students who were contemplating suicide — one of whom had already written their note . At an Atlanta school , a student confessed to Mero that he had two guns in his possession and was going to kill classmates , he said . " They asked why he did n ' t follow through with it and he said , ' Because the man made me realize how bad I ' d hurt my mom , ' " Mero said . As Champion of Choices continues into its eighth year and Mero makes what he believes to be his sixth swing through central New York , the nonprofit ' s work remains far from done . The major hurdle is convincing more parents and schools to see the same urgency in Mero ' s work that he does , he said . " Schools are so worried about the testing that they miss out on programs like ours that are changing and saving lives , " he said . " We ' ve already proven that we ' ve saved kids ' lives .

http://auctionsitenews.com/paypal-echeck/ | What is a Paypal eCheck and Why You Should Never Use One Ecommerce Add comments Jan 12 2014 A Paypal eCheck is a type of Paypal payment that is made with funds directly from your bank account , rather than from your Paypal balance or debit / credit card . It ’ s like writing a check electronically to pay for something you ’ ve purchased online with Paypal handling the writing of the check for you . However , of all of the ways to fund your Paypal account , this is the worst option you could choose . It adds layers of needless difficulty to your transaction and will slow down your purchase by several days . A Paypal eCheck is Just a Hassle for Any Seller to Accept Paypal does n ’ t tell you this when sign up , but it ’ s a huge pain in the rear for online sellers to process an eCheck . It usually takes 3 to 5 business days for an eCheck to clear and for the money to actually be sent to the recipient . If there ’ s a weekend in between that period it takes even longer because those are n ’ t counted as “ business days ” So it can take as long as a week for a payment you ’ ve made to actually reach From the seller ’ s side , this is the warning they see when someone sends them a Paypal eCheck . So now your payment is in Paypal limbo . It ’ s been taken from your bank account but not given to the seller . Nobody wins here . The seller is n ’ t going to send your item because they do n ’ t have the payment yet . But you want your item shipped because the money has already been taken from your account . All this results a several day delay in you getting what you ordered . On eBay this misunderstanding can also result in a seller getting undue negative feedback or detailed seller ratings because of unrealistic expectations that a buyer might have . So do everyone a favor and do n ’ t use a Paypal eCheck to pay for anything . There are better ways to fund your account , and they are just as easy . Instead of an eCheck Use a Regular Paypal Payment Before you buy something and use Paypal to pay for it , consider a few options available to you besides using an eCheck . The simplest is to use your checking account ’ s debit card as your funding source . It works the same way with your bank account and the transfer is instant , making everyone involved happy . You can learn how to do it step by step on Paypal ’ s website here That method also works for setting up a credit card as a funding source instead of your bank . Credit card payments are also be made instantly so they ’ re a good alternative if you do n ’ t have a debit card for some reason . If you want , you can even have both a credit card and a debit card set up as funding sources at the same time . The next easiest thing to do is to add money to your Paypal balance prior to making a purchase . You can do this directly with MoneyPak or with a bank transfer . With MoneyPak , you can take cash to one of their retail locations and they will instantly deposit it to the balance of your Paypal account . As a last resort , you can just manually add funds to your Paypal balance from your bank account before you make a purchase . Just click on the “ Add Money ” link on the top of the Paypal website and it will give you an option to add the funds yourself . It will take a few days to be deposited with this method . But once the deposit is reflected in your Paypal balance , you ’ ll be able to send it instantly which will avoid the eCheck problem . Let me answer one final question here . Yes , Paypal eChecks can and do bounce . In 4 years of selling I ’ ve personally seen 2 fail . In the case of the first one the buyer did n ’ t do anything and the transaction ended up getting cancelled . With the second the buyer re - sent the payment as regular payment and we completed the sale without any other problems . And he learned not to use eChecks anymore .

words have functioning lights quietfunctioning buttons and seem to play fine even if they might benefit from a tech doing a tuneup I see them locally on CL and the sellers invariably ask 150 They seem to sell though not immediately I know some many folks here have gotten these or similar units for 20 or less at thrift stores but my lifestyle doesnt leave a lot of time for the regular cruising of these places that would be likely to turn up such jewels So can anyone give me guidance on whether 150 is a decent valueprice total ripoff or something in between Thanks tmtomh May 19 2014 1 Please register to disable this ad nickrobotron una bella tazza di caffe Subscriber Messages 3705 Location Kansas City I think that is totally fair Especially if it is in great cosmetic condition If its a beautiful unit its definitely worth that price and even worth spending money on restoring it nickrobotron May 19 2014 2 jameswei Super Member Messages 2036 Location Taipei Taiwan If everything works 15000 is a great deal on a Sansui 5000X The best way to check value is go by the Ebay completed sales They usually go for 300 plus and I remember one sold for 500 a little while back I know because I had one and sold it for 450 jameswei May 19 2014 3 tmtomh Active Member Messages 323 Location PA USA Thanks for the quick and helpful info James and Nick I contacted a seller who sent me this pic and wrote A little dusty its in good condition but not perfect More than presentable and very good considering 40 years old I notice Marantz gear at the top of the frame so it looks like hes a collector Ive told him I want to see it in person check out the buttons and lights and put my multimeter on the speaker terminals to check the DC That said any red flags you notice so far tmtomh May 19 2014 4 Daunia 70 Lunatic Member Messages 12586 Location Britain The slightly earlier released Sansui 5000Xs seem to be fetching a lot more cash than the 5000A sometimes around twice as much Strange

the DC That said any red flags you notice so far Yes I see the red flag right here If a buyer will try to stick something into my receiver the sale will be over the very same second Because its very

considering that 150 is already very cheap Yes and if I had proposed sticking something INTO his receiver I would agree with you I was referring to simply placing the ends of the meter on the external speaker posts which I believe is standard procedure But thanks for your input I will keep it in mind for the future tmtomh May 20 2014 7 bktheking Gitter Done Messages 12824 Location Ottawa Ontario I

if I was selling a 40 year old receiver in VG cosmetic shape at a low price and a potential buyer wanted to put a multimeter to it Id end the transaction immediately stevensctt May 20 2014 9 tmtomh

and have paid anywhere from 1000 to 250 for an X and if the one you are considering is functional and good cosmetically it is easily worth the Usual ebay price is 300400 depending on condition You might want to ask about the driver boards which should be F6013s and not F1040s which were supposedly defective and a fire hazard Anyway if working properly you wont be disappointed BTW I have a Marantz 2270 that works just fine but I prefer my Sansui Any of em sstreed May 20 2014 14 SFBayArch AK Subscriber Subscriber Messages 1153 Location NorCal grateful said I think those are capacitor

think its unreasonable or strange if a buyer asked to put meters in the speaker terminals its a bargain but still 150 cash is a lot of money unless the buyer wants to take out a part inside and then

man that buyers could take advantage of What if a buyer brings an oscilloscope and dummy loads to verify if max power output is up to specs ymarko May 20 2014 17 macyjrm AK Subscriber Subscriber Messages 1176 Location Mississippi I think the important point on which to focus is that 5000s are capacitor coupled so the usual offset measurements taken at the speaker terminals will give alarming results which are invalid I know this because I just got a 5000x and in my ignorance measured the offset at each channel 35V But my sacrificial speakers sounded fine and the heat sinks were cool to the touch after over a half hour of play macyjrm May 21 2014 18 You must log in or sign up to reply here Share This Page | [

http://ausdroid.net/2013/10/22/aldi-mobile-slashes-data-on-unlimited-pack-to-2-5-gb/ | Updated : Aldi Mobile slashes data on Unlimited Pack to 2.5 GB Ausdroid Staff 22 October 2013 Carriers News and Editorial 44 Comments Aldi Mobile has updated its Unlimited plan , halving the data allowance . Ausdroid reader Vijay also reports that the $ 10 International calling credit that used to come with a $ 35 recharge has been removed . The MVNO ’ s $ 35 Unlimited plan now has a number of very specific limits We ’ ve seen major changes in the highly - competitive world of Australian Mobile Virtual Network Operators ( MVNO ’ s ) in the last few months Red Bull Mobile Crazy Johns and more have disappeared , while Kogan Mobile departed the market in the wake of the ispOne Telstra stoush , which Aldi notably survived This move by Aldi seems eerily similar to changes we saw to Kogan ’ s plans over time – same price , less value . That did n ’ t work out too well for them – the Big Three networks ( Telstra , Optus and Vodafone ) continue to put financial pressure on the smaller players who buy space on their networks . Will Aldi escape Kogan ’ s fate , and will it do so with its name for value intact ? Updated 23 - 10 Aldi has this morning sent through a full statement on the changes : ALDI Australia is committed to delivering transparent messaging in all of its communication and continues to introduce initiatives that inspire trust and open transparency in the marketplace . As part of this commitment , we can confirm that there will be a change in data allowance on the ALDImobile Unlimited Plan , in effect from 22 October , 2013 . With the revised ALDImobile Unlimited Plan , customers will be given unlimited calls and texts to national standard numbers , unlimited voicemail , unlimited 13 / 1300 / 1800 numbers and 2.5GB of data which has been reduced from the previous 5GB of data , to be used within the 30 day period . Our research shows the majority of ALDImobile customers use less than 1GB of data monthly and as such , the reduction in data allowance should have minimal impact on our existing customers . With market - wide increases in the cost of pre - paid data , this change has been made to ensure the ALDImobile service remains affordable for our customers . All ALDImobile Unlimited Plan 5GB Scratch Cards that are currently in store will be removed from 21 October and the new 2.5GB Plan Scratch Cards will be available in - store for customers to purchase on approximately 28 November 2013 . The new Card will continue to be available for $ 35 and this price remains extremely competitive , with customers still able to enjoy parts of Telstra ’ s 3G mobile network . ALDImobile is notifying all customers who currently use the Unlimited Plan of the change in data allowance through email or SMS and information cards will also be on display at all ALDI stores . We encourage customers with any enquiries to contact the ALDImobile customer service number on 2534 ( Free Call on ALDImobile phones ) or 1300 989 000 . Our commitment to quality , transparency and value has positioned ALDI Australia as one of the leading supermarkets in the country . Since 2006 , ALDI Australia has dominated the Roy Morgan customer satisfaction survey of household shoppers and been awarded Supermarket of the Year at the Roy Morgan Customer Satisfaction Awards in both 2011 and 2012 .

http://aussiefelts.livejournal.com/1007.html | AussieFelts Australian Made Needle Felted Creations What IS needle felting ? Needle felting is the process of interlocking wool fibres by stabbing it with a barbed needle . The barbs catch the scales on the fibre and cause them to tangle and bind together . To create a 3D sculpture it can take hours of work and literally thousands of stabs from start to finish . I ' ll post a video showing you what needle felting in action looks like but for the minute i ' ll give you a brief text rundown . The picture above shows just a small amount of the wool " roving " I have . I pull slivers of wool off the roving and because i ' m usually making an animal of some sort , firmly roll the wool into a tight ball . While holding the wool tightly in a ball , I carefully jab the wool with a felting needle . I need to keep rotating my wool so that it does n ' t felt into my foam block . The foam block is my " work desk " . . .because I sort http : / / www . youtube . com / watch ? v = wcfbgtyrz2U This video is 9 minutes 35 seconds long but it ' s a really good one that explains the needle felting process well . Check it out if you ' ve got some time up your sleeve . The lady in the video is award winning needle felting artist Kay Petal . Have a look at her other videos on You Tube . Her creations really are something to see !

Posted on Apr . 15th , 2008 12 : 27 am ( UTC ) Parent Thread Reply 1_rhiannon_1 It occurs to me that this might be good therapy - all the stabbing and whatnot . = ) Do you use a pattern of any kind or just kind of go with the flow until you get it in the shape that you want ? Apr . 14th , 2008 01 : 20 pm ( UTC ) aussiefelts It ' s great therapy ! LOL ! The needles hurt like hell when you stab yourself though so you ' ve gotta take it easy on the therapy thing . : D You can buy patterns that will tell you how to go about making a teddy bear etc . I just go with the flow . I decide what animal i ' m going to make and start with the body shape . I do all the body parts separately and then needle them all together at the end . I ' m going to show a photo step by step of my next piece so you can sort of get a better idea . Apr . 15th , 2008 12 : 26 am ( UTC ) Parent readallaboutit I bought some felting stuff the other day , but I managed to attach the wool to the sponge . I shall try , try , and try again ! Lovely pic , btw . Apr . 16th , 2008 07 : 34 pm ( UTC ) I ' ve got all kinds of wool colours deeply embedded in my sponge . LOL ! Just remember to keep turning your piece . You ' ll still get a little bit of it sticking into the sponge but once it firms up enough it ' s not as bad . Usually once my piece is firm enough and large enough . .I ' ll needle felt the piece while holding it in my hand . . .REALLY carefully . : p Apr . 17th , 2008 12 : 15 am ( UTC ) | [

http://aussieorganicgardening.com/2008/03/traditional-moon-planting/ | ← Garlic beds Propagating Strawberries → Traditional Moon Planting Posted on March 29 , 2008 by Lyn All about traditional moon planting Traditional Moon Planting is an ancient agricultural practice that has been used by farmers for several thousand years and is still practiced today . It is based on the synodic period of the Moon from one New Moon to the next , an average period of 29.5 days . Over time , farmers observed that all aspects of farming were affected by the interaction of the gravitational forces between the Sun , the Moon and Earth . These are the same gravitational forces that affect ocean tides around the world . Because the Moon is closer to Earth , its effects are more noticeable . These observations were handed down to younger generations as their community ’ s survival depended on getting the best results from their crops . Scientists have more recently confirmed that variations in sap flow , biological functions in plants , and subtle changes in Earth ’ s electro - magnetic fields , correspond to the Moon ’ s gravitational pull . Scientists have also confirmed that the Moon has an influence on breeding and feeding cycles of many life forms on this planet . As plants contain a high proportion of water , it is not surprising that they would also respond to a force that can move huge bodies of water . And , when you consider that plants absorb nutrients as ions The Lunation Cycle Each lunation cycle the Moon passes through four phases – New Moon , First Quarter , Full Moon and Last Quarter . The number of days between each change of phase can vary from 6 3 / 4 to 8 , so to make it easier for you , the current moon phase and its duration can be found by clicking on the ‘ Current moon phase ’ icon in the menu bar . The Waxing Moon During New Moon and First Quarter phases , the Moon is increasing in light . In these two phases , sap flow increases in the above ground parts of plants , and these are the most suitable phases for sowing and transplanting annuals ( and biennials ) . Flowering annuals , grains , melons and spring onions do well if planted in either phase but , generally , New Moon phase is best for leafy annuals and First Quarter is best for fruiting annuals . Liquid fertilisers will take effect more quickly if applied during the waxing phases . Shrubs The Waning Moon During the Full Moon and Last Quarter phases the Moon decreases in light and sap flow in plants is more concentrated in the root area . As sap flow gradually slows during these two phases , Full Moon phase is best for sowing and planting because germination is lower , and regrowth slower , during Last Quarter phase . Because sap flow is lower in the foliage part of plants , crops or seed harvested for storage or drying are less likely to rot if harvested during the Moon ’ s waning period . Full Moon phase is best for the sowing and planting of both root crops and perennials ( plants that live longer than two years ) . All trees , shrubs , vines ( including fruit trees and vines ) , globe artichokes , asparagus , rhubarb , strawberries , herbaceous perennials , bulbs and lawn grasses are perennials . The reason that these plants are planted ( or sown ) in the root vegetable phase is that perennials have a different type of root system from leafy and flowering annuals . Roots of perennial plants have , like root vegetables Because Full Moon phase favours root growth , this is also an excellent phase for taking cuttings , or for aerial layering , because root growth must form to support new foliage growth . This is also the best phase for dividing plants for the same reason . Prune dormant plants during Full Moon phase . Last Quarter phase is best for cutting back rampant shrubs and vines , – regrowth will be less vigorous . Fertile and Barren signs Traditional moon planting uses the tropical zodiac that divides the celestial belt into twelve equal parts of 30 degrees , named after the constellations that were closest to them in the second century B.C. , and ignores that fact that the actual constellations vary widely in size . The twelve segments were also given labels of ‘ positive ’ or ‘ negative ’ . The equal divisions were basically markers for degrees of tension from the major permanent points of reference ( the Solstices and the Equinoxes ) , which occur within 24 hours of the same days each year Negative segments are considered ‘ fertile ’ and the best days within a phase for sowing , planting , taking cuttings , budding and pruning to encourage growth . Positive segments are considered ‘ barren ’ and best days within a phase for collecting seeds , harvesting crops and for storage and weeding . Does traditional moon planting work ? As someone who has obtained certificates in both astrology and horticulture and had been working in horticulture for some 40 years , I felt competent to test and assess the various moon planting and gardening guides available to the public . Over a period of eight years , I experimented with and compared different forms of moon planting against detailed records of sowing , germination , growth , harvesting and pruning . Some moon or lunar calendars and guides advised readers to plant all plants that produce fruit above ground during First Quarter phase . This ignores the different root system of perennials . Other guides totally ignored moon phases and focused on the astrological signs . The tray below on the left was sown during Full Moon phase , which is an incorrect moon sowing phase for leafy annuals . The tray on the right was sown two weeks later during New Moon phase . Both were sown in the same seedling mix and received the same amount of care . I found that most moon planting guides in women ’ s magazines are prepared by astrologers who have used the astrological ‘ rulership ’ of plants rather than moon planting methods that have been handed down through the centuries . These interpretations have produced some results that make no horticultural sense and must be confusing for readers . The designation , by traditional moon planting farmers , of fertile and barren ‘ signs ’ varies slightly from the fertile / negative and barren / positive labels applied in astrology , and I feel there had to be a reason for this variation to remain constant through the centuries . Although there has been no scientific study into this part of moon planting , I believe it relates to the changes in the Earth ’ s electro - magnetic field and the absorption of plant nutrients , which must be absorbed as water - soluble electrically - charged ions Some moon or lunar planting guides will tell you to avoid watering your garden on ‘ fertile ’ days while others will advise to avoid watering on ‘ barren ’ days . A perusal of rainfall records will show that Nature does n ’ t follow these rules . Gardens should be watered when they need it . After comparing the various methods of Moon Planting , I came to the conclusion that the traditional moon planting method , although the simplest to follow , made the most horticultural sense , and it works best for us . The basic rules , or principles , are described below . Traditional moon planting ‘ rules ’ 1 . Avoid sowing , planting or taking cuttings from 12 hours before to 12 hours after the exact change of moon phase . The twelve hours immediately before and after the exact change of each phase is not a good time for sowing , planting , or taking cuttings . We have found that the increase or decrease of unfavourable energy is gradual and it will not have an obvious effect if you run an hour or so into this period when you have a lot of sowing or planting to do . While this is not a good period for sowing or planting , this time can be used to prepare beds or compost heaps , apply mulch , etc . 2 . NEW MOON PHASE the best time to sow or transplant leafy annuals ( we eat the leaf or stem ) , and flowering annuals . Also sow annual grasses , green manures , and apply liquid fertilisers . Mow lawns to encourage growth . This is the second best phase to sow or transplant fruiting annuals . 3 . FIRST QUARTER PHASE the best time to sow or transplant fruiting and flowering annuals ( we eat the fruit or seed bearing part ) , and grains . Also sow annual grasses , green manures , and apply liquid fertilisers . Prune to encourage growth and deadhead roses and flowering annuals . Carry out grafting and budding . Mow lawns to encourage growth . This is the second best phase to sow or transplant leafy annuals ( we eat the leaf or stem ) . 4 . FULL MOON PHASE the best time to sow or plant out root crops and all fruiting and decorative perennials , including fruit trees . Also sow lawns or lay turf , harvest for storage , take cuttings , divide plants , prune dormant plants and apply solid fertilisers . Mow lawns to slow growth . 5 . LAST QUARTER PHASE – no sowing or planting during this phase This is a good phase for attending to your soil ; weeding , applying mulch , making compost , preparing manure teas , applying solid fertilisers and digging or ploughing , if necessary . Prune to restrain growth , and mow lawns to slow growth during this phase .
