http://caloriescount.com/mexican.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 | What to Eat When You โ re Eating Mexican It โ s 5 : 00 on Friday and all of your friends and family are headed to the local Mexican restaurant for cheese dip , burritos , ice - cold beers and margaritas and lots of chips and dip . However , you wo n โ t be taking part in the festivities because you โ re on a diet โฆ or will you ? Remember , at CaloriesCount . com diet ( * # @ ! ) is a four - letter word . So throw out the โ diet mentality โ and think โ lifestyle change . โ And , by making lifestyle changes you CAN eat at your favorite Mexican restaurant . Read on to learn how . Chips and Dip Love the never - ending bowl of chips and dip ? Although you do n โ t have to say โ no โ completely , you need to practice portion control . Take a handful of chips and put them on your plate . When you โ ve finished those , push the chip basket aside or ask the waiter to take it away . And , think carefully about those dips : 2 oz . ( 20 chips ) 300 calories 1 oz . guacamole 108 calories 2 tbsp salsa 12 calories ยฝ cup cheese dip 246 calories What to order : Just one handful of chips and salsa Appetizers Most people use the chips and dips as an appetizer but some are tempted by the nachos . However , if you have already ordered chips and dip there is no reason to order nachos . 4 oz . nachos ( cheese only ) 345 calories What to order : Skip the appetizer . The chips and dip are more than enough . Drinks Many people love a good margarita or cold beer after a long hard day or week at work . However , calories count even when you are drinking them , so consider the following : 12 oz . regular beer 146 calories 12 oz . light beer 100 calories 7 oz . margarita ( on the rocks ) 210 calories If you want an alcoholic beverage , opt for the light beer . However , water and diet sodas contain no calories ! Main Entrees There are a plethora of choices and it can be daunting . So here are some typical calorie counts to give you the knowledge you need to make a healthier selection : 1 large beef burrito 424 calories 1 medium beef taco 272 calories 1 chicken chalupa 400 calories If you โ re already eaten the chips and dip , opt for a lighter meal , a beef taco . Sides If you are ordering a โ meal โ you will probably have the option of several sides . Typical side items may include : 1 cup Mexican Rice 160 - 210 calories ยฝ cup refried beans 140 calories With all the other food , you may not even need a โ side . โ However , the refried beans are lower in calories and probably more filling . Here โ s just one example of how you can make lighter choices ( and how those choices can really make a difference ) at your favorite Mexican restaurant : โ Lighter โ Version Full Calorie Version 2 oz . of chips : 300 calories 4 oz . of chips : 600 calories 6 tbsp of salsa : 36 calories 3 oz of guac . : 124 calories 12 oz . light beer : 100 calories 7 oz . margarita : 210 calories Beef taco : 272 calories Beef burrito meal : ( includes one burrito , beans and rice ) 745 calories Total : 708 calories 1679 calories You can dine out when trying to lose weight and you can order healthier selections . Some restaurants offer nutrition information , so ask your server or look it up online to see if it is available . Ask for sauces on the side and less cheese to help reduce calories . And , keep in mind that the calories listed above are for single servings and many restaurants offer large portions . Try ordering โ a la carte โ rather than a full meal , or split a meal with a friend . There are many ways that you can cut back to help reduce and control calories . If you know you โ ll be eating out that night , โ lighten up โ during the day or add 15 minutes to your workout to help counter some of the extra calories . | [

http://calwatchdog.com/2013/01/23/firefighter-one-of-nations-safest-jobs/ | Firefighter one of nation โ s safest jobs 23 Jan , 2013 by Steven Greenhut Print this article Font size 16 + The nation โ s astoundingly well - paid public firefighters insist that they receive their high salaries and pensions ( averaging around $ 175,000 a year in total compensation in California , with age - 50 retirements and schedules that allow them to sleep on the job and work only a few days every two weeks ) because of the terrible dangers they face on the job . They do face occasional and serious dangers , but according to a new National Public Radio report , such dangers are well below those faced by most of America โ s workers . The average death rate in 2011 was 3.5 per 100,000 workers for the average American worker . Fishermen had the most dangerous jobs with 121 deaths per 100,000 , followed by loggers and pilots . Firefighters die at a rate of 2.5 per 100,000 workers , which is slightly above the rate for cashiers ( 1.6 ) . Yet not many cashiers โ or loggers or fishermen or taxi drivers , for that matter โ receive โ 3 percent at 50 โ retirement plans courtesy of taxpayers . Police officers died at the rate of 18.6 per 100,000 , which By the way , the government considers it an โ on the job โ death when a firefighter or cop dies from heart attacks , cancer and other common ailments . These are referred to as presumptions . It โ s a presumptuous standard , but one that unlocks myriad benefits for surviving family members . Police and fire also argue for their millionaires โ pension โ one would need several million dollars in the bank to receive a lifelong six - figure payout for employee and spouse โ based on the idea that they die shortly after retirement . Union officials repeat that falsehood , but even the union - friendly California Public Employees โ Retirement System released a presentation showing that the longest - living category of public employee is a cop followed by a firefighter . They tend to live well into their โ 80s which , if you think about it , All jobs have their dangers and stresses and I do n โ t wish to minimize those faced by public safety officials , but their unions promote an outsized sense of danger for disturbingly political reasons , just as their unions exploited the 9 / 11 tragedies for cheap political gain . I wish everyone a long and healthy life , but it would be nice if public - safety unions stopped overplaying the dangers they face in order to hit up the public for more cash . It โ s time to stick to the facts . 269 comments Write a comment Hondo 23 January , 2013 , 19 : 57 If you discount 911 , which was an act of war , I โ m sure the death rate would go down further . As a former paid and unpaid firefighter , we have see the profession become much safer due to a few things . One , better training . But that is normal with any job . Breathing apparatus , the air tanks on your back , were huge . A couple breaths of bad air can kill you . Before breathing apparatus , firefighting was a truly dangerous occupation . The third is building codes enforcement . Buildings built before ww2 are far more dangerous with horrid electrical wiring , no firestops between floors , better lighting and exits , and SHEETROCK ! ! ! ! ! . Before sheetrock , all the walls and ceilings were wood . A huge deal . The eastern US has far more old buildings and there fore far more deaths . The west is far newer . Most of Kali โ s buildings were built after ww2 and huge fires have never been a problem here . Except for wildfires . But after Now , they mostly go to car wrecks , and heart attacks . Occasionally a meth lab blows . Not much else though . They just gorge on burgers and shakes and apply for disability when their arteries clog . Hondo โฆ Reply this comment Jb 29 January , 2014 , 22 : 57 Not many a firefighters make near that kind of money . I am a LT and make under 50 . I disagree with your analogy of fires being safer . Fuel load ! Today โ s homes are filled with plastic . It โ s flashes faster and puts off hydrogen cyonide which off gases for hours . We still fight plenty of fire . Look at firehouse every day . Wild land fires have taken a huge toll . Storm king was a horrible tragity . I live in Colorado . I can think of a few recent tragities Reply this comment Confused 5 May , 2015 , 17 : 24 Jb why do n โ t you post the Nation Statistics and compare them to other โ dangerous โ professions and compare the salaries . Transparent California shows many firefighter salaries above 90,000 dollars a year . Let โ s take some of their pay and shift it your way . Pay different rates for different calls . Richard Rider 25 June , 2015 , 15 : 03 Jb , my comments are geared towards CALIFORNIA firefighters . Perhaps you should READ before commenting ! If you are a โ LT , โ then you ai n โ t one โ I doubt there are any LT โ s among our California firefighters ( maybe in CALFIRE , but not in most local departments ) . And CERTAINLY not making $ 50K . You work in some other state making FAR less than our overpaid CA firefighters receive . FACT : The average California firefighter is paid 60 % more than paid firefighters in other 49 states ( ignoring the 72 % who are volunteers ) . CA cops are paid 56 % more . And then there โ s the 30 year pensions that issue a higher take - home check than these public servants โ salary provided when they were employed . But the CA 2011 median household income ( including 2,000,000 gov โ t workers ) is only 13.4 % above the national average . http : / / www . tinyurl . com / CA - ff - and - cop - pay and http : / / www . en . wikipedia . org / wiki / List_of_U . S . _states_by_income Fortunately for Californians , it โ s all paid for by the Tooth Fairy . It โ s true โ I read it on the Internet ! Voice of reason 14 September , 2015 , 11 : 19 Before you comment that someone did n โ t fully read you post perhaps you should go back and read it . You did n โ t make the comparison of California wages to California deaths , you compared to America โ The average death rate in 2011 was 3.5 per 100,000 workers for the average American worker โ . Further , I would like to point out that firefighters , police officers and soldiers are n โ t paid to die , they are paid because they purposely put themselves in the line of fire . If it is Worker 28 August , 2017 , 15 : 55 U r putting yourself in the same category as an active duty sodier . Like soldiers who fight wars . R u foreal ? ? U need to stop what u r doing and lookup where your so called fireman job is on the most dangerous jobs list . This is how u types continue to spew garbage about fireman safety but for whatever reason people believe it . I am jealous . Bryan 22 September , 2015 , 23 : 34 I have to agree . California fire fighters are overpaid and underworked . California Transparency proves this to no end , showing earnings by individuals to be double the base salary of 78K with mandatory overtime for when they are sitting at home โ on call โ . Many fire stations are unmanned yet rural residents are paying a fire tax for vacant fire houses . The wasted funds spent on pick up trucks ( 4 ร 4 pick ups ) for use in the city is absurd . Why would any fire fighter working within the city require a Bambam 31 March , 2017 , 14 : 33 It โ s obvious Hono that you were never a firefighter especially on the west coast by your comments here . The west coast is full of non reinforced masonry buildings . ( Jist like the east coast . ) And on the west coast drywall ( sheet rock on the east coast and mid west ) replaced lathe and plaster , which actually kept the firea out of the structure much better than the drywall does . The furnishings are now the biggest issue as they are no longer made from cotton , wool , or natural fibers but Joanie 23 May , 2017 , 12 : 10 You have no idea what you are talking about ! My husband died . He never made the money you talk about . You should all be ashamed . Rich 15 March , 2016 , 19 : 47 I โ m calling BS on the average being 175g a year . I only make 72 , which is very good , and maybe a few chiefs make what you posted . Please get the facts correct and do n โ t be jealous . Rex the Wonder Dog ! 15 March , 2016 , 21 : 37 Hey GED Firewhiner , this is CA , not Mississippi . Gordon 27 June , 2017 , 16 : 12 Jealous ? How about angry about a non - dangerous job ( 69 deaths in ALL of the US in 2016 ) gives guaranteed prosperity and NO ONE in the private sector can ever dream of . In my opinion any public job should not be paid or given benefits so far beyond what any private sector working person can even dream of .

Yeah Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton really give a fuck about you guy , I bet Real worker 7 January , 2019 , 07 : 34 brother being a fireman is not even in the top 25 most dangerous jobs in the world . it only has a 3.5 death rate per 100000 workers thats nothing . a police officer has 15.5 per 100,000 and is ranked 14th . Road workers Trashmen electricians landscapers fisherman tree surgeons Ironworkers construction workers make up the top 10 in assignments 9 and Miller net fireman died of cardiac arrest for being overweight and they consider that on the job death . it โ s a made - up job it โ s the only job in world with the BK 23 July , 2016 , 05 : 52 I have been a firefighter for 12yrs now . A driver for the past 10 . I am also a fire instructor . My opinion if both Greenhut and Hondo is : They most likely have never been in the fire service at all and are talking out their a * * . Here is why . To start with the national mortality rate of a firefighter in the U.S. is 11.1 per 100,000 . Not 2.5 as Greenhut has implied . Yes , the rate has dropped over the years and Greenhut is correct when he said it is Structures are not made as strong as the were not long ago . Here is just one example is in lightweight construction . The gusset plates used now made out of aluminum and just tacked it . This alone saves construction companies a lot of money but does not take much fire to made the aluminum expand and fall apart which causes structural collapse . It is true sheet rock is now commonly used and it does generally hold 1 hour fire retardation . NOT FIRE PROOF . What J.B. said about fire load is dead on correct . The materials used in normal furnishings used to been more fire resistant or did not burn as hot . Example : untreated wood , cotton . Now we see plastics , treated wood , styrene and other man - made materials that not only put off hydrogen cyanide as J.B. has stated but it burn much faster and much much hotter . It used to be a Backdraft that was a common threat . Now it is a Flashover which makes a Backdraft mild in comparison . With this in mind , it takes the positive effects of the sheetrock almost completely out of the equation as previously mentioned . When it comes to the salaries . Greenhut says the average salary / compensation a firefighter is 175,000 annually . It is obvious both himself and Hondo must be talking about California . I do not know California statics but that is a far cry from the national average . A firefighter is about $ 75,000 to $ 85,000 . That includes retirement , health benifits , vacation ect . Greenhut and Hondo also claim firefighters only work a couple of days every 2 weeks . Actually we work 24 hrs on and 48 hrs off . Which equates to a 3 week cycle . Two weeks we work 3 days which is 72 hrs and than 1 week that we work 48 hrs . Which is more than the average worker working a 40 hr week . It is true we are not actually working every hour while on shift . And we do get to sleep . Depending on the call volume daily we could make 20 to Johnny Tonkins 25 July , 2016 , 13 : 07 Your death rate is way off . You provide no source Bozo 30 October , 2016 , 23 : 45 Your profession is not the most dangerous โฆ .Yes , perhaps a bit more dangerous than a rodeo clowns , You are all a bunch of tit - sucking government leeches โฆ Someday the public will wake up to the outrageous salaries we are paying cops and firemen and maybe there will be a revolution โฆ . . Gordon 27 June , 2017 , 16 : 41 You complain that the 2.5 / 100000 is the wrong mortality rate . Then you go and quote number also unsubstantiated . So you are trying to win the โ make up numbers โ contest ? How about backed up numbers : Annual US firefighter deaths in 2016 is 69 http : / / www . nfpa . org / news - and - research / fire - statistics - and - reports / fire - statistics / the - fire - service / fatalities - and - injuries / firefighter - fatalities - in - the - united - states Numbers of firefighters in the US is 1217400 https : / / apps . usfa . fema . gov / registry / summary Using basic math the death rate per 100000 is : ( 100,000 / 1217400 ) * 69 = 5.7 SO YOU ARE BOTH WRONG . But i am with Hondo since this rate does n โ t merit firefighters the right to defined benefits pensions WHICH NO ONE IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR CAN EVEN DREAM OF ANYMORE . The point you are missing is that firefighters should have to create a 401K and manage your own money like the rest of us . You are not that special . Sorry to bust your bubble with facts . Do fishermen get pensions for life ? No they do n โ t . So shut up before the people paying for you rise up on mass and make you have to worry about whether you will be working at 78 like my Dad currently does . Get the point now ? Bk 23 July , 2016 , 06 : 13 I really should have proof read my material before i sent it . I want to clarify something i sent . I the portion where i was referring to the work schedule .

Jack B 1 February , 2018 , 10 : 09 In California they get paid overtime to go to their self congratulatory parades or calendar shoots . My favorite one is getting paid overtime for showing up to a non emergency call that was directly made to an ambulance service . If you sprain your foot and are not capable of driving , the fire department in CA shows up automatically after the ambulance while you are waiting by your mail box . They will not hire more very willing employees , as this would cut in to their cherished above all else overtime pay .

In the private sector , that would mean the pay would go down considerably from the competition ( excess supply drives down the price ) . But the Yet there are limits . Governments at all levels have become so expensive they effectively now are broke . Pay and benefits inevitably will be cut . Pensions will be reduced .

http://camel.apache.org/activemq.html | ActiveMQ Component The ActiveMQ component allows messages to be sent to a JMS Queue or Topic or messages to be consumed from a JMS Queue or Topic using Apache ActiveMQ . This component is based on JMS Component and uses Spring ' s JMS support for declarative transactions , using Spring ' s JmsTemplate for sending and a MessageListenerContainer for consuming . All the options from the JMS component also applies for this component . To use this component make sure you have the activemq . jar or activemq - core . jar on your classpath along with any Camel dependencies such as camel - core . jar camel - spring . jar and camel - jms . jar Transacted and caching See section Transactions and Cache Levels below on page if you are using transactions with as it can impact performance . URI format activemq : [ queue : | topic : ] destinationName Where destinationName is an ActiveMQ queue or topic name . By default , the destinationName is interpreted as a queue name . For example , to connect to the queue , FOO . BAR , use : activemq : FOO . BAR You can include the optional queue : prefix , if you prefer : activemq : queue : FOO . BAR To connect to a topic , you must include the topic : prefix . For example , to connect to the topic , Stocks . Prices , use : activemq : topic : Stocks . Prices Options See Options on the component as all these options also apply for this component . Configuring the Connection Factory This test case shows how to add an ActiveMQComponent to the CamelContext using the activeMQComponent ( ) method while specifying the brokerURL used to connect to ActiveMQ . camelContext . addComponent ( " activemq " , activeMQComponent ( " vm : / / localhost ? broker . persistent = false " ) ) ; Configuring the Connection Factory using Spring XML You can configure the ActiveMQ broker URL on the ActiveMQComponent as follows xml < beans xmlns = " http : / / www . springframework . org / schema / beans " xmlns : xsi = " http : / / www . w3 . org / 2001 / XMLSchema - instance " xsi : schemaLocation = " http : / / www . springframework . org / schema / beans http : / / www . springframework . org / schema / beans / spring - beans - 2 . 0 . xsd http : / / camel . apache . org / schema / spring http : / / camel . Using Connection Pooling When sending to an ActiveMQ broker using Camel it ' s recommended to use a pooled connection factory to efficiently handle pooling of JMS connections , sessions and producers . This is documented on the ActiveMQ Spring Support page . You can grab ActiveMQ ' s org . apache . activemq . pool . PooledConnectionFactory with Maven : xml < dependency > < groupId > org . apache . activemq < / groupId > < artifactId > activemq - pool < / artifactId > < version > 5.6.0 < / version > < / dependency > And then setup the activemq Camel component as follows : < bean id = " jmsConnectionFactory " class = " org . apache . activemq . ActiveMQConnectionFactory " > < property name = " brokerURL " value = " tcp : / / localhost : 61616 " / > < / bean > < bean id = " pooledConnectionFactory " class = " org . apache . activemq . pool . PooledConnectionFactory " init - method = " start " destroy - method = " stop " > < property name = " maxConnections " value = " 8 " / > < property name = " connectionFactory " ref Notice the init and destroy methods on the pooled connection factory . This is important to ensure the connection pool is properly started and shutdown . Important information about when using transactions If you are using transactions then see more details at . And remember to set cacheLevelName to CACHE_CONSUMER if you are not using XA transactions . This can dramatically improve performance . The PooledConnectionFactory will then create a connection pool with up to 8 connections in use at the same time . Each connection can be shared by many sessions . There is an option named maximumActive you can use to configure the maximum number of sessions per connection ; the default value is 500 . From ActiveMQ 5.7 : the option has been renamed to better reflect its purpose , being named as maximumActiveSessionPerConnection . Notice the concurrentConsumers is set to a higher value than maxConnections is . This is okay , as each consumer is using a session , and as a session can share the same connection , we are in the safe . In this example we can have 8 * 500 = 4000 active sessions at the same time . Invoking MessageListener POJOs in a Camel route The ActiveMQ component also provides a helper Type Converter from a JMS MessageListener to a Processor . This means that the Bean component is capable of invoking any JMS MessageListener bean directly inside any route . So for example you can create a in JMS like this : public class MyListener implements MessageListener { public void onMessage ( Message jmsMessage ) { / / . . . } } Then use it in your Camel route as follows from ( " file : / / foo / bar " ) .bean ( MyListener . class ) ; That is , you can reuse any of the Camel Components and easily integrate them into your JMS POJO ! Using ActiveMQ Destination Options Available as of ActiveMQ 5.6 You can configure the Destination Options in the endpoint URI , using the destination . prefix . For example to mark a consumer as exclusive , and set its prefetch size to 50 , you can do as follows : < from uri = " activemq : foo ? destination . consumer . exclusive = true& ; destination . consumer . prefetchSize = 50 " / > Consuming Advisory Messages ActiveMQ can generate Advisory messages which are put in topics that you can consume . Such messages can help you send alerts in case you detect slow consumers or to build statistics ( number of messages / produced per day , etc . ) The following Spring DSL example shows you how to read messages from a topic . The below route starts by reading the topic ActiveMQ . Advisory . Connection . To watch another topic , simply change the name according to the name provided in ActiveMQ Advisory Messages documentation . The parameter mapJmsMessage = false allows for converting the org . apache . activemq . command . ActiveMqMessage object from the JMS queue . Next , the body received is converted into a String for the purposes of this example and a carriage return is added . Finally , the string is added to a file < route > < from uri = " activemq : topic : ActiveMQ . Advisory . Connection ? mapJmsMessage = false " / > < convertBodyTo type = " java . lang . String " / > < transform > < simple > $ { in . body } & # 13 ; < / simple > < / transform > < to uri = " file : / / data / activemq / ? fileExist = Append& ; fileName = advisoryConnection - $ { date : now : yyyyMMdd } .txt " / > < / route > If you consume a message on a queue , you should see the following files under the data / activemq folder : advisoryConnection - 20100312 . txt advisoryProducer - 20100312 . txt containing the following string : ActiveMQMessage { commandId = 0 , responseRequired = false , messageId = ID : dell - charles - 3258 - 1268399815140 - 1 : 0 : 0 : 0 : 221 , originalDestination = null , originalTransactionId = null , producerId = ID : dell - charles - 3258 - 1268399815140 - 1 : 0 : 0 : 0 , destination = topic : / / ActiveMQ . Advisory . Connection , transactionId = null , expiration = 0 , timestamp = 0 , arrival = 0 , brokerInTime = 1268403383468 , brokerOutTime = 1268403383468 , correlationId = null , Getting Component JAR You will need this dependency activemq - camel ActiveMQ is an extension of the component released with the ActiveMQ project < dependency > < groupId > org . apache . activemq < / groupId > < artifactId > activemq - camel < / artifactId > < version > 5.6.0 < / version > < / dependency > Endpoint See Also | [

animal spirit such as the one used in some Native American cultures that resides in They are born from the animal that their day represents ie if a Managua was born on a dog day their form will be a dog The good Managua sent people to Camp Aztlan while the evil ones kill people and abuse their magic on others The Managua appear as normal humans so it is very easy to kill them Roles Naguals took the role of searcher that sent demigods to Camp AztlanCity of Tollan Naguals usually want to be this so that they can take forms of the gods Most naguals die in this attempts but later generations continue on to do so Powers Naguals can take abilities and powers from people they transform into However the naguals require a lot of power if they were to transform into something twice their sizes They can even transform into nonliving things if they want However the nagual will disintegrate if they sustain the form bigger than them for an hour Other than their transformation abilities the naguals can curse a person with a transformation curse this is not true remove the curse as well induce diseases knowledgeable for baking Note The Managuas

feared due to its liking for human flesh especially nails eyes and teeth It was said to live in or near the water and uses the hand on its tail to snatch its prey Cipactlij Hello Cipactli was a primeval sea monster part crocodile part fish and part toad of Cihuateteo The Cihuateteo were the spirits of women who dies Childbirth was considered a form of battle and its victims were honored as fallen warriors Their physical remains were thought to strengthen Groooaaaan linkFileCihuateteojpg soldiers in battle while their spirits became the muchfeared Cihuateteo who accompanied the setting sun in the west They also haunted crossroads at night stealing children and causing sicknesses especially seizures and madness and seducing men to sexual misbehavior Their images appear with the beginning day signs of the five western trecena 1 Deer 1 Rain 1 Monkey 1 House and 1 Eagle during which they were thought to descend to the earth and cause particularly dangerous mischief They are depicted with skeletal faces and with eagle claws for hands They are associated with the goddess Cihuacoatl and are sometimes considered envoys of Mictlan the world of the dead Cihuateteo are servants of the Aztec moon deities Tezcatlipoca and Tlazolteotl Frog Warriors Cueyatl Tlatecuhtli was a sea monster formed from the chaos after order of the universe So Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl decided to tear her apart to recreate this earth They threw a part of her above where it formed the skies while another part of her became the sea She remained alive however and demanded human blood After the fall of Aztec Empire the goddess was enraged and began to devour the Aztec people As the gods of the Aztlan worked very hard to restore their former glory they sent their best demigod warriors to destroy the essence remained of the sea monster once and for all All of them died in the attempt but managed to remove her essence from the Earth Her blood spawned a new breed known as the Cueyatl In revenge they prepared to remove and destroy all demigods on this planet and restore their dead mother The Cueyatl came with various sizes The small frogs had poisonous tongues that could corrode a demigods body The small frog warriors are often disguised as normal frogs and lives in packs However it does no harm to mortals The larger frogs are as large as a sea monster They only reside in the sea Omen Owls Teuzauhtototl The Omen Owls are creatures sacred to Mictlantecuhtlis muchloved consort Mictecacihuatl and other denizens from the Aztec hell Their appearance and purpose is related to the banshees They were to foretold the death of someone in a house Once the person hears the Owls hoot heshe is fated to die on some dayhourminute However the Omen Owls can be driven away and killed by pulling out its heart from its body Omen Owls have various abilities the ability to cloak itself before it hoots the ability to let out a piercing screech and most powerful of all the power to Tzitzimitl Tzitzimieh are the ultimate Aztec nightmare They are skeletan creatures wearing skirts often with skull and crossbone designs The leader of these horrendous creatures was Itzpapalotl the queen They resided in Tamoanchan a paradiscal realm in the skies Tzitzimieh were chaotic and dangerous and would devour mankind during solar eclipses and the New Year Due to the Mexicas obsession with duality these women were also the goddesses of the stars protectresses of women and the progenitors of mankind The Centzon Totochtin FourHundred Rabbits These cute bunnies featured here are the Centzon Totochtin the divine rabbit children of Mayahuel the goddess of pulque Fourhundred in this context means innumerable These bunnies rarely attack humans or demigods However when you see a walking rabbit with a bottle of tequila in its hand stumbling into things you better not agitate it These rabbits are gods of inconceivable forms of alcoholic effects and they will attack you if they are threatened The Centzon Mimixcoa FourHundred Cloud Serpents The Centzon Mimixcoa are the children of Itzpapalotl and siblings to Mixcoatl The Centzon Mimixcoa were celestial deities of the Northern Stars that neglected their duties and refused to sacrifice to the sun god Tonatiuh Their sloth and irritating disregard to the cosmic imbalance caused Mixcoatl with varying intentions to take up arms along with his closest four siblings and take them down Mixcoatl has various intentions for his brothers transformations into cloud serpents One included that the fact that with four hundred of his brothers gone he could abuse his powers anyway he like as the supreme leader of the Northern Stars Ahuiateteo The Ahuiateteo are the male equivalent to Cihuateteo and Tzitzmitl For some reason only five exist These gods represent the Aztec morale to show why moderation is always a good thing except for sacrificing of course However they were once gods of their own right but now they have been weakened to nothing more than spirits of excess and overindulgence One spirit MacuilTochtli takes the form of a rabbit he is also part of Centzon Totochtin see above MacuilMalinali is adorned in grass MacuilXochitl is the god of hallucinogens flowers He was once an aspect of Xochipilli as the god of art and crafts before he split himself from the gods true self MacuilCozcacuahtli takes the form of a vulture MacuilCuetzpalin takes the form of a lizard Chaneque Chanekeh Chaneque or Ohuican Chaneque as they were called by the Aztecs are legendary creatures in Mexican folklore They are conceived of as small spritelike beings elemental forces and guardians of nature By tradition these beings would attack intruders frightening them so that their soul would abandon their body which the chaneques enclosed in the depth of the land If the victim did not recover their soul through a specific ritual he or she would become ill and die soon after Categories | [

http://camping.about.com/od/responsiblecamping/tp/What-Not-To-Do-On-A-Camping-Trip.htm | Adventure Camping What Not - To - Do on a Camping Trip By Monica Prelle Updated 04 / 14 / 19 There are a lot of ways to ruin a good camping trip . It ' s even easier to ruin the great outdoors for others . Sure , leave your trash in the fire pit , let the bears get into your cooler and have your raging party go all - night - long . Beginner campers tend to make more mistakes and break more โ rules โ of camping , but most first - time campers do n โ t intend to have poor camping etiquette - - they simply just do n โ t know any better . Then there are the campers , who simply need a polite reminder on how they can be a better camping neighbor and more environmentally friendly . And there are also the unexpected events that can throw off beginner or experienced campers . 01 of 04 Ten Cardinal Sins of Campers Most of us head out on a camping getaway to experience the great outdoors , relax in a natural environment and spend time with friends or family . A little consideration for our camping neighbors , wildlife and nature can go a long way to preserve the environments in which we love to recreate . Do n โ t trash your campsite , do n โ t ignore quiet times and please , do n โ t walk through others campsites ! These are just a few of the cardinal sins of campers ; you would n โ t want to make these mistakes , would you ? 02 of 04 What They Do n โ t Tell You About Camping ยฉ Monica Prelle Sure , you โ re prepared for a camping trip . All the gear is packed , you checked your shopping list twice , made the campground reservation and are on the road . You even have a map and directions . All systems are ready to go . The family is singing along to Simon and Garfunkel on the radio right about the same time the car overheats . No big deal , this is not your first road - trip . Once you โ re driving again , you find the way to that windy mountainous road , which is going to take you to your dream campsite on the lakeshore , but inevitably someone gets sick . Still , all is good . Everyone is happy and excited to set up the camping tents . Now , there are n โ t any level camping sites , the mosquitos are feasting on your neck , and your co - pilot did n โ t buy enough ice . And what happened to that sandwich you left on the picnic table ? There are a lot of nuisances that can make a camping trip go wrong , but if someone ( hint , hint ) had just told you everything no one ever told you about camping , then everything would be all right . 03 Common Mistakes of New Campers ยฉ Monica Prelle Here we go again , picking on the beginners . Yep , beginners make a lot of mistakes , but it โ s not just camping beginners that mess things up . First - time travelers are sure to ask for directions and still get lost , and beginner runners are likely to get hurt training for their first marathon . No doubt beginners of anything make mistakes , but that โ s why we are here to help . If it is your first time camping , how are you supposed to know that the tent poles are really important to pack and that it โ s better to buy a six - person tent for a family of four .

http://can-dogs-eat.com/almonds | Can Dogs Eat Almonds ? Is it safe for your dog to eat Almonds ? Read more to find out . Almonds are not toxic , but like all nuts they may cause upset stomachs : All nuts contain fats , which can lead to gastrointestinal upset , such as vomiting and diarrhea . Foods with high fat content can also potentially produce an inflammatory condition of the pancreas known as pancreatitis . In addition , many commercially sold nuts are salted - and if a pet consumed a large volume of salt from the nuts , this could potentially pose a risk for the development of a sodium ion toxicosis . Source : www . aspca . org / aspcablog / 2006 / 05 / ask - apcc - is - it - okay - for - my - yorkie - to . html What do other dog owners have to say about whether their dogs can eat Almonds or not ? See comments below . Tags : almonds fats nuts salt toxic 44 Comments on Can Dogs Eat Almonds Don November 29th , 2011 at 11 : 33 pm Do n โ t be lulled into a false sense of security by some of the โ it โ s ok โ stories on here . I Just got off of the phone with the ASPCA POISON CONTROL HOTLINE . Almonds ARE toxic to dogs . DO NOT give your dogs alomonds . If your dog eats almonds , monitor closely for vomiting , diarrhea , or other signs of distress . If any distress is exhibited , contact an emergency vet or the ASPCA poison control hotline immediately ! ! Tim January 23rd , 2012 at 5 : 48 pm Our Bouvier des Flandres just loves Almonds and the almonds never seem to bother her โฆ We only give her the Fresh Non salted kind โฆ as soon as you get a handful , she โ s right there looking for one โฆ and more ! She hates potato chips , or popcorn โฆ a fussy eater โฆ but she will always track ya down if she smells you have an almond ! I am glad to see other dogs like them too โฆ thought she was just weird . Nancy February 29th , 2012 at 1 : 09 pm My pomeranian ate a pretty good size bag of raw almonds as well as some cocoa almonds and the only effect it had on her was lots of poop containing them โฆ She has not been sick to her stomach or anything like that and she does have a very sensitive stomach . I was expecting the worst , but she tolerated them very well . I will not feed her them , she just found them and broke in on her own . Morgan March 24th , 2012 at 10 : 07 am I would like to respond to Rachel โ s posting in particular . Nuts are not typically fine for dogs and it has nothing to do with fungus or bacteria in shelled nuts . It has to do with NATURALLY occuring chemicals and their fat content inside the meat of the nut iteself . Macadamias are deadly toxic , and other nuts contain various amounts of toxins that can be and are harmful to dogs . The proplem is that the toxic amount can vary from dog breed and inviduals . As Don and DJJ mentioned most veterinarians and animal In case you are wondering , my experience goes beyond being a dog owner โฆ I studied Veterinary Medicine and have worked in Veterinary clinics and other animal centres for over 20 years . So please ask your Veterinarian if you have questions about what is or is not safe to feed your pet . Vicki O ' Brien April 20th , 2012 at 5 : 15 pm My dog loves unsalted whole almonds . He also has cushings disease . So far , no ill effects . . I am worried if I should give them to him or not . My other dog can take โ em or leave โ em . Not nearly as obsessive as my German Shepherd is . What do you think ? He is 12 yrs old . jean April 28th , 2012 at 6 : 08 pm Our Min - pin Jack - Russel mix loves almonds ( 4 - 5 at a setting ) and has never shown any ill side effects . I probable wo n โ t take a chance again . I was on looking about apples ? Jorge September 7th , 2012 at 12 : 12 pm I have a miniature schnauzer and she can not get enough of almonds . I usually give her natural raw almonds . Never has harmed her ! srgwriter October 22nd , 2012 at 12 : 20 pm An almond or 2 every now and then most likely will not be harmful to a dog . But the probem is the fat content . Too much of certain types of fat are difficult for a dog โ s pancreas to handle . Most nuts are not really good for dogs for this reason . The more nuts , the harder it is on the pancreas . Effects may not be immediate , but it is like our pancreas , cumulative abuse takes its toll . Also Macadamia nuts will straight out hurt your dog , so never give kensiem11 @ yahoo . com December 30th , 2012 at 1 : 41 pm I have a four year old siberian huskey , name luke . I fed him some unsalted and natural almonds and all he does is bark for more . The oils in the nut has to be ok and some good for them like it does us ! J Tompkins April 24th , 2013 at 5 : 37 pm I have two Bernese Mountain Dogs and occasionally give them almonds , raw unsealed Costco bran . My male has a sensitive stomach but never seems bothered by the almonds . both dogs really love them , but being Berners , they pretty much like anything . Howard June 17th , 2013 at 10 : 11 am German shepherd mix . She has gastro problems about once a month , eats grass , but rarely vomits and in a day or two she โ s fine . 5 or 6 almonds a day have nothing to do with this and only seem beneficial to her health and energy . So you worry mongers out there , tone it down with the BS . mhikl August 14th , 2013 at 6 : 45 am I make almond milk from raw almonds I soak for hours , changing the water three or dour times , and then remove the skins . I then soak the skinless almonds over night in fresh water and change the water one last time for an hour soak . I mulch the almonds in the blender with a number of water changes to make the milk . What imam left with is a tasteless , sludge with most of the nutrition , fats etc removed . I dry the leftover โ roughage โ and add it to the home made Soaking and remocing thenskins removes the toxins plants use to prevent bugs from eating their seeds . The almond sludge seems a light roughage and low ? calorie filler that my dog has no trouble passing . She has not seemed to have any problems with this addition to her diet . She is a Pem Corgie and constantly hungry . She is one of those rare Corgies who is not fat ( 28lb ) . Though she is now elderly ( 12.5 ) I should like to get another pound or two off . I also boil beef bones I have noticed that her hip seems not to give less ( none now it appears ) trouble on this regime . The gelatine may do the most work , but the added time to consume her food & the almond filler may give her a sense of a fuller stomach . By the way , I also add a few drops of home made Lugol โ s Iodine ( no alcohol ) to deal with any pathogens in her raw meats . Another point I would like to add , a but off topic . No animal , bird , fish or mammal over exercises on its own , except for man . Long distance runners and intensive athletics wears out the heart . Check out how many famous professional athletes die early from cardiovascular / heart disease . I know I was shocked . My previous dog had an enlarged heart from the game I devised with the shaft of a golf club , bungee cord and length of rope she would chase . she live to 14 + but developed I love my little pet and want her to be happy and healthy for as long as possible . Fortunately I can find the time to research and tend to her needs . At this point and for her age she is exemely healthy . Her only problem was some damage to her shoulder when she slipped on ice 3.5 years ago . This last half year , after 3.5 years on the barf died and the added bone gelatine and almond sludge ( not sure if the sludge has been a benefit ) , the limp and pain from Best wishes to everyone โ s quest on the health of their pets , their families and themselves . mhikl August 14th , 2013 at 7 : 26 am I want to apologies for the typing errors in my previous post . I did it on my iPad and I have so much trouble with the keyboard . This time I โ m doing this in notes and checking thoroughly . I want to add that I am very impressed with this site and the discourse on it . I would like to suggest we all do our research on nutrition . I once gave a poorly fed neighbourhood dog a whomping sum of raw chicken skin which it quickly threw up . Lesson learned . Too much of anything ( with the possible exception of love and kindness ) is not always so good . We are so inundated with conventional thinking on nutrition โ the Mediterranean diet ( there are so many possibilities ) , low fat , the pyramid government recommendations , meat / fats that are bad , healthy grains and legumes ? etc . figuring what is best is a difficult task . We , and our pets , need cholesterol for brain function and a healthy heart . The human heart runs on butyric acid ( found in butter and bovine ) . Over loading on sugars ( carbohydrates is an invented word because sugar and glucose have a bad name ) is worrisome . Remember my experience over feeding the chicken skin ? Be aware , do your research and be open to questioning easy answers from media , governments , food fanatics ( like me and health experts . We all have the best of intentions . However , a healthy skepticism is not a bad thing . Here is a good ( seems good ) link to the topic of this important fat . http : / / wholehealthsource . blogspot . ca / 2009 / 12 / butyric - acid - ancient - controller - of . html Catherine McCauley February 16th , 2014 at 7 : 49 am My four months Yorkie will not eat dry food unless I put some butter almond with it . Mary Kinlen February 18th , 2014 at 2 : 38 pm I โ m glad I read all of the above comments . I fed my dog about ten almonds this morning as she โ s recovering from liver illness and a lot of foods make her nauseous . She used to like almonds , so I gave her some after pulverizing them in my food processor to help her digest them better . The vet wants her to eat cottage cheese and / or tofu rather than meat , you see , but she wo n โ t eat them so I have to get protein into her somehow and Kacy June 30th , 2015 at 2 : 11 pm My English Setter loves Blue Diamond Bold Wasabi and soy sauce ! ! ! ! She begs for them , but has n โ t gotten sick . Of course , I keep it to a minimum . I think over doing it is where an issue can occur . She โ s begging right now . LOL DebiMarieC October 9th , 2015 at 8 : 39 am I agree with Morgan 100 % . My Maltese loves almonds but would not digest them and pooped them out whole I freaked out and now before I give him any people food I look it up also I look up poisonous plants and keep an eye on him when he โ s in the yard . Dwayne Johnson โ s puppy just died from eating a poisonous mushroom in the yard . Cyndi December 31st , 2016 at 6 : 35 pm I fed my dog almonds just a small amount She got pareatitis and passed away , she fought hard for 5 days but did not make it . Lesson learned , I only give my dogs dog food and dog treats no people food . dan January 5th , 2018 at 4 : 09 pm when i was younger we had a guy living with us for the summer one year who was studying in college to become a veterinarian . he was in his 3rd or 4th year and seemed very bright . he said the best food to feed a dog is whatever we eat . now we know that is n โ t right as there are things we eat that are toxic to some dogs . i do n โ t know if he just did n โ t think to point out that fact or if he was n โ Know if dogs can or ca n ' t eat ?

http://canada-da.com/faq.html | New Immigration Procedures Immigration Service Business Immigration Family Sponsorship Government Fees FAQ Contact Frequently Asked Questions In the last years the number of new immigrants to Canada keeps steadily increasing . And it ' s not surprising , since the United Nations recognized Canada to be one of the best countries for living . The influx of new immigrants is constantly growing , and back in the old country all the new immigrants have friends and relatives left , and they miss them , and would like to see them in Canada as well . Consequently , Mr . Lorne Lichtenstein and his associates receive numerous questions connected with immigration to Canada . Below you can Questions : Is it necessary to hire a lawyer or a consultant to immigrate to Canada ? Is it necessary to hire a lawyer or could you stick to the services of a paralegal or a consultant ? How a client can find out whether he is hiring a Canadian lawyer or not ?

Which family members can be included in the application for permanent residence ? Can I extend my immigrant visa ? How does an employment visa differ from an immigrant visa ? Can one apply for both visas simultaneously ? Can I get a visitor visa , if I ' d already applied for a Permanent Resident Visa ? After the family receive Permanent Resident Visas can only one family member come to Canada at first and the other afterwards ? What minimal sum of money must I have before arriving to Canada ?

Can my relative in Canada apply on my behalf ? Must I attend an interview ? Must I visit Canada before applying for immigration ? Who must the principal applicant โ my spouse or myself ? Answers : 1 . Is it necessary to hire a lawyer or a consultant to immi - grate to Canada ? It is possible to apply for permanent residence in Canada by oneself . It is also possible to hire the assistance of an intermediary , which can be a professionally licensed and trained Canadian lawyer , specializing in immigration law or any consultant or paralegal . But we often saw cases , when the applicants who had all the chances to pass as independent immigrants failed to do so , for example , due to the mistakes in filling in application forms or because of incorrect behavior at the interview . That ' s why a lawyer is needed , to Questions 2 . Is it necessary to hire a lawyer or could you stick to the services of a paralegal or a consultant ? Lawyers are professionally trained and educated , and thus may provide the most professional and competent service , assuring the maximization of your family โ s chances of successfully immigrating to Canada . Lawyers are regulated by the Law Society , and are accountable as to the quality of their work . Should the lawyer make mistakes , or act in a negligent manner , he or she may lose their license to practice law . Lawyers are insured against liability and should a lawyer cause damages to his client , due to the lawyer โ s negligence or incompetence to Questions 3 . How a client can find out whether he is hiring a Canadian lawyer or not ? It ' s easy . Each province of Canada has its own Bar Association . Each lawyer who practices in the given province is a member of one of them . Therefore , if you want to check if you ' re hiring a lawyer , you call to the Bar Association of the province and find out whether he is its member or not . When you reach the Association , give them his name , and you will receive the answer to the question that you ' re interested in . For example , since my firm is 4 . How do lawyer ' s services differ from services of a paralegal or a consultant ? A lawyer has the right to represent the client ' s interests on any stage of immigration , legal and appealing processes . It is also assumed that the Canadian lawyer is held in the highest regard by the Canadian Embassies to whom the client โ s application is submitted . Therefore , the Canadian immigration officials must treat the lawyer โ s client in a most respectful manner and make ร correct decision , according to the Canadian law . 5 . What guarantees do you give to your clients and how many percent ? Lawyers never provide guarantees , since only an officer of the immigration service can make the final decision on a specific immigration matter . A lawyer can only guarantee that the application will be completed in a professional manner . Nonetheless , for example , in my firm we take on the job only after the client has filled in a preliminary questionnaire , and , in case of necessity , a careful preliminary assessment of the client ' s documents . Only after that I can tell the client how good his chances for success are or explain to the client that neither my associates nor me , unfortunately , can help him . I often explain to prospective clients to be leery of anyone who offers guarantees because this is a sure warning sign that the consultant is not honest . After all , how can a professional guarantee a result for which he does n โ t have the decision 6 . How much are your fees ? We not only complete the application forms , but also represent the client on all the stages of the immigration process . Therefore , the price of our services depends on how much work the case involves the category through which the client is processed and , consequently , the price is determined in each specific case . 7 . What is included in that cost ? This cost includes complete immigration service of the client up to the moment of his arrival to Canada , starting from the preparation of the necessary package of the documents to the embassy ; translation and certification of the documents ; all postal expenses ( the usual cost of one letter by courier mail , such as UPS , FedEx , DHL is $ 75 , but we use only such mail for correspondence with the embassy and the clients ) ; phone calls and faxes ; and also , if we are to speak about Russian - speaking part 8 . Do you have representatives in other countries ? For today we have no such representatives . It is expensive to have local offices and we strive to keep our costs low and endevour to pass on the savings to our clients . We visit these countries fairly often , and thus can service our clientele personally . This allows us to offer personal service while holding down our prices . Moreover , in the past , we had our representatives in a number of countries , but found out , that it was expensive and problematic , because we had come across the situations , when not quite 9 . How to start the immigration process ? First you must decide to immigrate . Then you must complete the preliminary questionnaire that you can find on our site , answering all of the questions , and not forgetting to put down your address , which , unfortunately , happens rather often . Within 1 - 2 days we will do a preliminary assessment of your chances to immigrate to Canada and will give you an answer . 10 . What documents are necessary to begin the work on im - migration process ? Among the documents that are necessary to start work on immigration file there must be copies of birth certificates , educational certificates and diplomas , marriage and divorce certificates , passports , police certificates , employment reference letter and some other certificates . The applicant receives a more complete list of necessary documents after the preliminary assessment of his immigration application . Certification of the copies and their translations is not necessary because this is included in the lawyer ' s fees . 11 . How long does it usually take to process a file ? The processing of the file usually takes from a year to two years . 12 . Where is it better to pass an interview ? The interview can be passed in any embassy of Canada . We have an individual approach to each file , and always give reasons for our recommendations to the clients . 13 . What is Permanent Resident Visa ? It ' s a document that allows its beneficiary to live and work anywhere in Canada , this document also confirms the status of the permanent resident of Canada . Permanent Resident Visa allows its beneficiary to have the same rights ( except for voting ) and responsibilities as Canadian citizens . Permanent Resident can lose the status of the permanent resident if he is absent from Canada for a longer period of time than allowed by the law or commits a crime . 14 . Which member of the family should apply as the principal applicant ? The principal applicant should be that member of the family whose application can get the most points . This decision plays the decisive role , because whether the principal applicant is approved or refused , the result automatically affects the entire family . The family means a husband , a wife , and their under - aged or dependent children . 15 . Which family members can be included in the application for permanent residence ? They are the spouse and children under 22 . The family members whom you included in your application must pass medical examination and have no criminal record . Other family members , for example , such as parents , can not be included in your application , but you can sponsor them after you come to Canada and have worked in the country for no less than a year . 16 . Can I extend my immigrant visa ? No , this visa can not be extended . If you could n ' t arrive in Canada before the time shown on you Permanent Resident Visa , then you will have to start the whole immigration process from the very beginning . 17 . How does an employment visa differ from an immigrant visa ? Employment authorization allows its possessor to live and work in Canada for a certain period of time ; it also limits the possessor ' s ability to work in Canada . Employment visa does n ' t give the right for the permanent immigrant visa . As for the Permanent Resident Visa , it gives its possessor the right to work and live in any place in Canada , have the privileges of a Canadian citizen , receive Canadian citizenship after three years , and sponsor close relatives to come Canada if you have an appropriate income . 18 . Can one apply for both visas simultaneously ? Yes , you can do that . However your application for employment visa can suffer , since you have the intentions to remain in Canada after it is expired . Therefore it is better to first apply for employment visa , and only after that for the Permanent Resident Visa . 19 . Can I get a visitor visa , if I ' d already applied for a Permanent Resident Visa ? The decision of issuing you a visitor visa for temporary stay in Canada will be affected not by the application for permanent residence , but by the definite answer to the question , what is the possibility that you will stay in Canada after the expiry of your visitor visa . 20 . After the family receive Permanent Resident Visas can only one family member come to Canada at first and the other afterwards ? In each Permanent Resident Visa there is a date of its validity , you must enter Canada before the expiry of this date . As a rule it is a year after the medical examination . The immigration law allows that first the principal applicant can enter Canada and the rest of the family can come later but certainly before the expiry date on the Permanent Resident Visa . 21 . What minimal sum of money must I have before arriving to Canada ? The independent immigrant should have $ 10 000 Canadian for the principal applicant plus $ 2000 for each additional family member who will live in Canada . These expenses are necessary for living and adjustment of the family in Canada during the first 6 months of the family in the country . 22 . When will I be able to become a Canadian citizen ? You will be able to become a Canadian citizen after you have lived in the country for 3 years . 23 . Can I have dual citizenship ? Yes , you can , if the country from which you immigrate , recognizes it . Canada recognizes dual citizenship . 24 . How is the immigration process affected by acquiring property in Canada ? Until you become a Permanent Resident , buying property in Canada gives you no advantages ; it does not help your immigration process . Furthermore , if you decide to come to Canada on a visitor visa after you have bought the property , immigration officials will have more reason to refuse you . As for the entrepreneurs who already live in Canada , putting their money into real estate wo n ' t help them to remove the conditions , which exist for this class of immigrants , as the authorities do n ' t consider this as an 25 . How realistic is it to come to Canada as a refugee ? The refugee category includes people who are persecuted be - cause of their race , religion , nationality , belonging to a certain social group , or political opinion . Also , their own country wo n ' t or ca n ' t assist them . The general rule is this : the greater the democracy , the fewer are the refugees . Nonetheless , my firm also helps people , who make refugee claims . We can proudly remark that the percentage of our winning cases on refugee status is much higher than average . 26 . Who is affected by the new Regulations ? All individuals who apply for a Canadian permanent resident visa as a Skilled Worker after January 1 , 2002 , will be processed under the new selection criteria with a pass mark of 75 . Skilled Worker applicants who applied before December 31 , 2001 and who have not had their application assessed by a Visa Officer by March 31 , 2003 , will be assessed under the new selection criteri a with a pass mark of 70 . Skilled Worker applicants who applied before December 31 , 2001 and who have had their application assessed but no final decision made by March 31 , 2003 will be assessed under the previous selection criteria and the previous pass mark of 70 . 27 . Is it possible to qualify as a skilled Worker with less than 75 points ? Yes , the Canadian Government has empowered Visa Officers to use positive discretion to pass an applicant when the Visa Officer believes that the total points awarded do not properly reflect the applicant โ s ability to establish in Canada from an economic perspective . Conversely , a Visa Officer has the discretion to refuse an applicant with more than 75 points . 28 . Does a Skilled Worker have any financial requirements ? Skilled Worker applicants , as a general rule , must demonstrate that they have sufficient funds to support themselves , and any accompanying dependants , for six months after their arrival in Canada . The applicant โ s funds will be measured against the most current " Low Income Cut - Off " figures published by Statistics Canada . 29 . Are there any residency requirements ? A permanent resident must comply with a residency obligation with respect to every five - year period . The permanent resident complies with the residency obligation provisions if , for at least 730 days ( 2 years ) in that 5 year period the permanent resident present in Canada or is : Outside of Canada accompanying a Canadian citizen who is his or her spouse or common - law partner or a child accompanying a parent Outside Canada employed on a full - time basis by a Canadian business Is an accompanying spouse , common - law partner or child of a permanent resident who is outside Canada and is employed as a full - time basis by a Canadian business . 30 . What is the new Permanent Resident Card ? The Canadian Government is providing all permanent residents with the opportunity to obtain secure proof of their status in Canada . A new permanent resident ( PR ) card will be given to all individuals who become permanent residents after June 28 , 2002 . Existing permanent residents may apply for the PR card beginning in September 2002 . The PR card in most cases is valid for 5 years and renewable thereafter . In certain cases the PR card may be issued for only 1 year . While permanent residents are under no obligation to apply for a PR 31 . What are the Canadian government fees ? In the Skilled Worker category the principal applicant must pay a non - refundable processing fee of CDN $ 550 . The accompanying spouse must also pay CDN $ 550 . Accompanying children under 22 years of age each pay CDN $ 150 and those 22 years and older pay CDN $ 550 . In addition , a refundable right of landing fee of CDN $ 975 is charged to each newly arriving immigrant 22 years of age or older . 32 . Can my relative in Canada apply on my behalf ? The application to the embassy or a visa post located outside of Canada must be submitted under your name . Nevertheless , a close relative who lives in Canada can give extra points to your application . 33 . Must I attend an interview ? It is at the discretion of an immigration officer who processes your application to decide whether you need an interview or not . You may need to attend an interview at which an immigration officer will access your education , knowledge of your profession , and work experience , your ability to speak , read , write and comprehend the English or / and the French language . Some skilled worker applications can be approved or refused without an interview . Business immigrants are usually required to attend an interview . 34 . Must I visit Canada before applying for immigration ? It is not necessary for the applicants applying under skilled worker class to visit Canada prior to submitting the application to the embassy . Nevertheless , we always advise the potential business immigrants to visit Canada prior establishing or buying business there or making an investment to Canadian economy . 35 . Who must the principal applicant โ my spouse or myself ? Each of you can be the principal applicant โ it depends on which of you gets more points . to Top Canadian Immigration Law Firm of Lorne Lichtenstein lawyer @ canada - da . com ยฉ 2000 - 2014 | [

http://canadahistoryproject.ca/1914/1914-08-women-vote.html | Women Get the Vote 1916 - 1919 I t was during the First World War that some women in Canada were finally allowed to vote and in 1919 most women over 21 had the right to vote in a federal election with some exceptions . Women ' s suffrage groups had existed since the 1870s , but during the war it was hard to ignore their arguments . Women were serving in the war , taking over from the men in factories and offices , holding families together while the men were overseas , and working in voluntary organizations that supported the war effort . They could n ' t be kept out of political life any longer . Women got the federal vote in three stages : the Military Voters Act of 1917 allowed nurses and women in the armed services to vote ; the Wartime Election Act extended the vote to women who had husbands , sons or fathers serving overseas ; and all women over 21 were allowed to vote as of January 1 , 1919 . Provincially , women were given the vote in 1916 in the four western provinces , in 1917 in Ontario , in 1918 in Nova Scotia , in 1919 in New Brunswick , in 1922 in Prince Edward Island , and in 1940 in Quebec . Early feminists in Canada included women like Emily Stowe , who supported her children and sick husband by working , illegally , as a doctor in Ontario . She ' d had to go to New York to obtain her degree since Canadian women were n ' t allowed in medical school or any other higher educational institution at that time . She graduated in 1868 . In 1876 she started the Toronto Women ' s Literacy Club which was actually a women ' s suffrage group . Another pioneer name among Canadian women was Adelaide Hoodless . In 1887 her 18 - month old son died from infection due to unpasteurized milk and Hoodless began campaigning for better health and nutrition education for women . In 1897 she founded the first Women ' s Institute to instruct women in farm and household management . She was also the founder of the Victorian Order of Nurses which provided nursing to the poor . In Quebec Marie Lacoste Gรฉrin - Lajoie was one of the women who founded the Fรฉdรฉration nationale Saint - Jean - Baptiste in 1907 . This organization campaigned successfully to improve working conditions for women , bring in pasteurized milk to reduce infant mortality , and increase women teachers ' pensions . However , she found little support in Quebec for women ' s suffrage . The first province to give women the vote was Manitoba . This was where Nellie McClung had rented the Walker Theatre in Winnipeg in 1914 and staged a mock parliament , casting herself as premier and putting men in the role of having to beg her for the vote . The event was a great success , both financially and politically . McClung was also one of the five women who campaigned to have women recognized as " persons " by the Supreme Court so that they could qualify to sit on the Senate . They were finally successful with their " Persons Case " in 1929 . The women ' s suffrage movement was often linked with temperance societies which were demanding the prohibition of alcohol . Women argued that excessive drinking by men ruined family life and led to much domestic violence . But alcohol would n ' t likely be abolished , they said , until women got the vote . < < Prev : Nellie McClung ( 1873 - 1951 ) Next : Military Service Bill 1917 > > Further Reference WORLD WAR I 1914 - 1918 ( 2 : 30 ) NELLIE MCCLUNG THE PERSONS CASE 1929 WOMEN WIN VOTE IN QUEBEC 1940 | [

http://canadaonline.about.com/cs/healthcareontario/a/ohippremiums.htm | Humanities Issues Should the US Adopt a Nationalized Health Care System ? by Robert Longley Updated March 18 , 2017 Should the United States adopt a nationalized health insurance plan in which doctors , hospitals and the health care delivery system would be under the control of the federal government ? Latest Developments Background Health insurance remains an unobtainable luxury to over 43 million U.S. citizens . Millions more live on the edge with only minimal , limited coverage . As health care costs continue to soar , and the overall health of Americans remains relatively poor compared to similar industrialized nations , the masses of the uninsured will continue to grow . Health care spending increased 7.7 percent in just one year during 2003 - - four times the inflation rate . Seeing their health insurance premium costs grow by about 11 percent yearly , many U.S. employers are dropping their employee health care plans . Health coverage for an employee with three dependants will cost an employer about $ 10,000 per year . Premiums for single employees averages $ 3,695 a year . Many suggest that America ' s health care solution is a nationalized health plan , under which medical care for all citizens would be paid for by the federal government and provided by doctors and hospitals regulated by the government . What are the good and not - so - good points of nationalized health care ? [ Read more . . . ] Pros Nationalized health insurance would reduce the cost of American - made consumer products . Employers naturally pass the soaring costs of providing employee health insurance on to consumers . The result ? U.S. consumers pay more and the nation ' s ability to compete in global trade is reduced . Products from countries with nationalized health care simply cost less . Nationalized health insurance would be good for U.S. employees . The resulting reduction in cost of American - made goods would help U.S. companies compete in global trade , thus keeping more jobs at home . Workers would gain job mobility . Too many Americans stay in jobs they dislike , or hesitate to start their own businesses out of fear of losing their health insurance . Employer - provided health insurance tends to stifle innovation . Cons Nationalized health insurance does not insure equal access to the health care system . Elderly people in Canada and the United Kingdom report much more difficulty in obtaining health care than U.S. seniors . While New Zealand ' s guidelines for treatment of end state renal failure imply that age should not be the sole factor in determining eligibility , they state that " in usual circumstances , people over 75 should not be accepted . " To the terminal misfortune of that nation ' s elderly renal failure patients , New Zealand has no private dialysis facilities . Removing the medical sector from the free enterprise system tends to reduce the overall quality of health care . Study - upon - study has shown the quality of health care is typically higher in the U.S. than in any other nation , including those with nationalized health insurance . The United States has lower breast and prostate cancer mortality rates than New Zealand , the United Kingdom , Germany , Canada , France and Australia . Germany , Sweden and Australia are now establishing free - market alternatives in an attempt to alleviate problems caused by their nationalized health care systems . Indeed , these countries are learning that the best course for provision of quality health care is not more patient power rather than more government power . Where It Stands A recent national survey conducted by the American Consumer Institute showed that American consumers are split in their support of a nationalized health plan in which doctors and hospitals would be under federal government control . According to the survey , 43 % would favor such a plan , compared to 50 % who would oppose the plan . The survey showed that Democrats are more likely than Republicans to favor a nationalized plan ( 54 % vs . 27 % ) . Independents mirror the overall numbers ( 43 % favor ) . African Americans and Hispanics are more likely to favor a nationalized health plan ( 55 % ) , compared to just 41 % of the Caucasians and just 27 % of the Asians . The survey also suggests that affluent consumers ( 31 % for households earning over $ 100,000 ) are less apt to support a national health plan , compared to lower income | [

http://canadaonline.about.com/cs/pensions/ht/applyoas.htm | Humanities Issues How to Apply for a Canada Old Age Security Pension by Susan Munroe Updated January 16 , 2019 Canada ' s Old Age Security ( OAS ) pension is a monthly payment available to most Canadians 65 or older , regardless of work history . It ' s not a program that Canadians pay into directly , rather it is funded out of the Canadian Government ' s general revenues . Service Canada automatically enrolls all Canadian citizens and residents who are eligible for pension benefits and sends a notification letter to these recipients a month after they turn 64 . If you have not received this letter , or you receive a letter informing you that you Old Age Security Pension Eligibility Anyone living in Canada who is a Canadian citizen or legal resident at the time of applying and who has resided in Canada for at least 10 years since turning 18 is eligible for an OAS pension . Canadian citizens living outside of Canada , and anyone who was a legal resident the day before leaving Canada , might also be eligible for an OAS pension if they resided in Canada for at least 20 years after turning 18 . Note that anyone who lived outside Canada but worked for a Canadian employer , such as the military or a bank , can have their time abroad counted as a residence in Canada , but must have returned to Canada within six months of ending employment , or must have turned 65 while abroad . OAS Application Up to 11 months before you turn 65 , download the application form ( ISP - 3000 ) or pick one up at a Service Canada office . You can also call a toll - free number to receive the application , which requires basic information such as Social Insurance Number , address , bank information ( for deposit ) , and residency information . For assistance with completing the application , call the same number . If you are still working and wish to put off collecting benefits , you can delay your OAS pension . Indicate the date you want to start collecting benefits in section 10 of the OAS pension form . Include your Social Insurance Number in the space provided at the top of each page of the form , sign and date the application , and include any required documentation before sending it to the regional Service Canada office nearest you . If you are filing from outside of Canada , send the application to the Service Canada office nearest to where you last resided in Canada . Required Information The ISP - 3000 application requires information about certain eligibility requirements , including age , and asks applicants to include certified photocopies of documents to prove two other requirements : Certificate of citizenship , immigration documents , or temporary resident ' s permit to prove Canadian legal status , unless you have lived in Canada your entire life . Stamped passport pages , visas , customs declarations , or other documents to prove Canadian residence history . Photocopies of documents proving your legal status and residence history can be certified by certain professionals , as outlined in the Information Sheet for Old Age Security Pension , or by staff at a Service Canada Centre . If you do n ' t have proof of residency or legal status , Service Canada might be able to request the necessary documentation on your behalf . Fill out and include the Consent to Exchange Information with Citizenship and Immigration Canada with your application . Tips If you have already turned 65 , send your application as soon as possible so you do n ' t miss any more payments . If you have already supplied the documents when applying for a Canada Pension Plan retirement pension , you do not need to supply them again . If you are incarcerated , you can still apply for a pension but the benefits will be suspended until your incarceration ends . If your application is denied , you must submit a request for reconsideration in writing within 90 days of receiving the notification . The appeal should include your name , address , telephone number , Social Insurance Number , and the reason for your appeal , including any new information that would affect the application , and be sent to the address on the notification letter .

http://canadaonline.about.com/od/elections/g/majority.htm | Humanities Issues Majority Government in Canada by Susan Munroe Updated March 19 , 2018 The way Canada elects its representatives and head of government is different from the process we follow in the United States . Winning a majority of seats in the Canadian Parliament ' s House of Commons has different ramifications than winning a majority in the U.S. Senate or House of Representatives . In our presidential system , the head of state and the head of government is the same person , and he or she is elected independently of the members of the American legislature ( Senate and House of Representatives ) . But in a parliamentary system , there ' s a head of state and a head of government , and the head of government derives its power from the ruling party . In Canada , the head of state is the Queen , and the prime minister is the head of government . The ruling party determines who will be prime minister . So how does a party become Canada ' s ruling party ? Majority Party Versus Minority Party in Canada The political party that wins the most seats in a general election becomes the government ' s ruling party . If that party wins more than half of the seats in the House of Commons or legislative assembly , then the party forms a majority government . This is the best - case scenario as far as a political party is concerned ( but may not be ideal for voters , depending on how they voted ) , since it ensures they will be able to steer the direction of policy and legislation without much input ( or interference , Here ' s why : A majority government can pass legislation and maintain the confidence of the House of Commons or legislative assembly to stay in power much more easily than a minority government . That ' s what happens when a party wins half or fewer than half of the seats in the House of Commons or legislative assembly . In order to retain the confidence of the House of Commons and remain in power , a minority government has to work a lot harder . It will have to negotiate more frequently with other parties and possibly make concessions and adjustments in order to win enough votes to pass legislation . Choosing Canada ' s Prime Minister The entire country of Canada is divided into districts , also known as ridings , and each one elects its representative in Parliament . The leader of the party that wins the most ridings in a general federal election becomes Canada ' s Prime Minister . As head of the country ' s executive branch , Canada ' s prime minister chooses the cabinet , deciding who should oversee the various government departments , such as agriculture or foreign affairs . Most of Canada ' s cabinet ministers come from the House of Commons , and occasionally one or two come from the Senate . The prime minister serves as chairman of the cabinet . Canadian federal elections are usually held every four years on the first Thursday in October . But if the government loses the confidence of the House of Commons , a new election may be called . The political party which wins the second highest number of seats in the House of Commons becomes the official opposition party . The prime minister and cabinet are the key decision - makers in Canadian government . Having a majority party makes their jobs much easier . Continue Reading | [

http://canadaonline.about.com/od/pensions/g/gis.htm | Humanities Issues How to File Your Canadian Income Tax Return by Susan Munroe Updated February 12 , 2018 If you owe income tax and file your income tax return after the deadline , the Canada Revenue Agency ( CRA ) will charge a penalty and interest on the unpaid amount . Who Has to File a Canadian Income Tax Return ? Most Canadian residents have to file a Canadian income tax return for the previous year to pay the accurate amount of income tax owed , to pay back overpayment of benefits such as Employment Insurance , and / or to claim certain benefits , such as the GST / HST Credit or the Guaranteed Income Supplement under the Old Age Security Program . Some international and non - resident individuals must also file a Canadian income tax return . Before You Prepare Your Income Tax Return Before you tackle your income tax return , make sure you have the following information : Social insurance number Tax information slips - information slips sent by employers , banks , and businesses to tell you and the Canada Revenue Agency how much income you received and the amount of income tax that was deducted .

The package includes a return ( form ) , federal tax worksheet , schedules ( more forms ) , a provincial or territory tax worksheet and an information guide .

If you file your taxes online , the tax package comes with the software . Be sure you get the version of the software that meets your tax situation . Choose the Best Way to File Your Income Taxes The Canada Revenue Agency is encouraging Canadians to file their income taxes online .

http://canadaonline.about.com/od/postalservices/a/abbreviations-provinces-canada.htm | Humanities Issues Abbreviations for Provinces and Territories in Canada How to Address an Envelope or Parcel Ascent Xmedia / Getty Images by Susan Munroe Updated February 22 , 2018 Accurate addresses do not just help lower costs by eliminating redelivery and extra handling ; being accurate also reduces the carbon footprint of mail delivery and gets mail where it needs to go quicker . It helps to know the correct two - letter province and territory abbreviations if sending mail in Canada . Accepted Postal Abbreviations for Provinces and Territories These are the two - letter abbreviations for Canadian provinces and territories that are recognized by Canada Post on mail - in Canada . The country is divided into administrative divisions known as provinces and territories . The ten provinces are Alberta , British Columbia , Manitoba , New Brunswick , Newfoundland and Labrador , Nova Scotia , Ontario , Prince Edward Island , Quebec , and Saskatchewan . The three territories are Northwest Territories , Nunavut , and Yukon . Province / Territory Abbreviation Alberta AB British Columbia BC Manitoba MB New Brunswick NB Newfoundland and Labrador NL Northwest Territories NT Nova Scotia NS Nunavut NU Ontario ON Prince Edward Island PE Quebec QC Saskatchewan SK Yukon YT Canada Post has specific postal code rules . Postal codes are an alphanumeric number , similar to a zip code in the United States . They are used for mailing , sorting and delivering the mail in Canada and are handy for other information about your area . Similar to Canada , the U.S. Postal Service uses two - letter postal abbreviations for the states of the U.S . Mail Format and Stamps Any letter sent within Canada has the destination address of the center of its envelope with a stamp or meter label on the top right corner of the envelope . A return address , although not required , can be put on the top left corner or the back of the envelope . The address should be printed in uppercase letters or an easy - to - read typeface . The first lines of the address contain the personal name or internal address of the recipient . The second to the last line is the post office box and street address . The last line consists of the legal place name , a single space , the two - letter province abbreviation , two full spaces , and then the postal code . If you are sending mail within Canada , a country designation is not necessary . If you are sending mail to Canada from another country , follow all of the same instructions as listed above , but add the word ' Canada ' on a separate line at the very bottom . First class mail to Canada from the United States is set at international rates , and thus costs more than a letter mailed within the United States . Check with your local post office to be sure you have the correct postage ( which varies based on weight ) . More About the Canada Post Canada Post Corporation , known more simply as Canada Post ( or Postes Canada ) , is the crown corporation that functions as the country ' s primary postal operator . Originally known as Royal Mail Canada , which had been founded in 1867 , it had been rebranded as Canada Post in the 1960s . Officially , on October 16 , 1981 , the Canada Post Corporation Act came into effect . This abolished the Post Office Department and created the present day crown corporation . The act aimed to set a new direction for the postal service by Continue Reading | [

Many people will escalate through phases of alcohol abuse before developing a full addiction . Alcohol addiction is characterized by : Loss of Control Preoccupation with Alcohol Consumption Continued Consumption of Alcohol , Despite Negative Life Consequences Reduction in Motivation Outside of Alcohol Consumption When someone exhibits the above signs , they may be an alcoholic . In Canada , there are an estimated 2 million adults who struggle with alcohol abuse / addiction annually . Alcoholism vs . Problem Drinking Is there a difference ? Alcohol abuse , or problem drinking , refers to drinking habits that are self - destructive , but do not necessarily interfere with basic functioning . Someone who is a problem drinker may regularly drink in excess without risking their job , relationships or safety . Signs of problem drinking include : Binge Drinking Lying about Drinking Habits or Otherwise Hiding Alcohol Consumption Habitually Drinking More Than Initially Intended Use of Alcohol to Cope with Emotions and Stress Legal Consequences as a Result of Drinking Interference with Professional and Personal Relationships Though not every problem drinker develops a more serious habit , continuing to abuse alcohol can lead to alcohol dependence , or alcoholism . If you are a problem drinker , you may not require the same extent of medical assistance as an alcoholic , but you could still benefit from treatment . What Causes Alcohol Addiction ? Physical & Environmental Factors Alcohol addiction develops gradually . Repeated consumption of alcohol will cause fluctuations in the standard balance of chemicals in the brain . As use continues , one โ s judgment and perception of pain and pleasure may become skewed . Consistent alcohol exposure will cause your body to build a tolerance to it . The effects originally delivered through minor consumption will later require double the initial level of alcohol , if not more , encouraging further consumption . There are certain lifestyle and environmental factors that will increase a person โ s risk of developing alcohol addiction . They include : Family History of Alcoholism Stressful Work Environment Social Atmosphere Conducive to Drinking Introduction to Alcohol at an Early Age Those with mental health concerns , especially anxiety or mood disorders like depression , are at an especially high risk of developing alcohol addiction . Drug Addiction Treatment Drug Addiction Medical Detox and Residential Services Available Drug addiction is a very serious matter and the consequences and effects on an individual and their family can be devastating . Our programs offer state of the art , evidenced based treatments , conducted by experienced Psychological , Clinical & Therapeutic professionals , tailored to the individual and their family . Our Addiction Recovery Centres offer : Comprehensive Individual Assessments Integrated and Comprehensive Care Drug Addiction Resources Intensive Drug Addiction Treatment Safe Medical Detox Long - term Support for client โ s and their families โ Drugs โ defined : A drug includes any medicine , chemical or other substance that when ingested causes physiological changes to the mind and body . There are two primary categories of drugs , illicit drugs and prescription drugs . Prescription drugs are usually prescribed by a physician to fight illness and reduce pain , and there are many people who rely on these types of drugs for better health without becoming addicted . However , certain prescription medications can become addictive when abused or used off label . Illicit drugs are street drugs . These drugs are not used for medicinal purposes , but instead are sought out for some sort of mental or physical high . Some of the most common forms of addictive drugs include : Methamphetamine ( Crystal Meth ) Prescription Pain Medications / Opiates ( Oxy , Fentanyl , Percocet ) Cocaine Crack Cocaine Heroin Marijuana Benzodiazepines Ecstasy - MDMA Hallucinogens ( LSD , PCP , Mushrooms , Ketamine , Peyote , Mescaline ) Bath Salts Methadone Dual Diagnosis Treatment Dual diagnosis treatment is the treatment of both addiction and / or alcoholism on the one hand , as well as a separate mental health disorder on the other hand . Addicts and alcoholics can suffer from any one of these disorders , and treating them is just as vital as treating addiction itself . Canadian Addiction Recovery Network believes that co - occurring disorders such as bipolar disorder , depression , anxiety , and personality disorders must be treated in conjunction with the addiction . Our treatment for co - occurring disorders provides a different approach to the addiction recovery by tailoring our treatment program to the individual and the disorder they are suffering from . If you suffer from mental health and substance abuse you are not alone . Approximately 50 % of individuals with mental health disorders also suffer from substance abuse . Many times individuals who have mental health illness will use drugs and / or alcohol to self - medicate . That โ s why we tailor our dual diagnosis treatment programs to the individual and provide education during the treatment . By educating the individual on their disorder , it will help them understand why they think or feel a certain way and help prevent relapse . Our goal is simple Treatment for Dual Diagnosis of Addicts & Alcoholics Dual diagnosis , sometimes called โ co - occurring disorders โ or โ comorbidity , โ is a crucial part of any addiction treatment program . Likewise , about 1 in every 4 addicts or alcoholics is said to experience clinical depression , anxiety , or another mental health issue . Dual Diagnosis Disorders Co - occurring disorders can be any mental or behavioral disease , but they are most often the following : Depression Anxiety / Panic Attacks Bipolar Disorder Schizophrenia / Psychotic Disorders Trauma / PTSD Borderline Personality Disorder When addiction and mental health are both diagnosed in an individual , it is known as dual diagnosis . Canadian Addiction Recovery Network specializes in treating individuals who have been diagnosed with addiction and mental health by providing clinicians and therapists , who are experienced in dual diagnosis treatment . Our dual diagnosis treatment process includes : Detoxification Support Individual Therapy Sessions with a Dedicated Therapist Educational Programs for Mental Health and Stress Management Ongoing Medical and Clinical Support Relapse Prevention Trauma Informed Care Sessions Pre - Existing vs . Substance - Related One of the difficulties in treating dual diagnosis addicts is recognizing whether their conditions were pre - existing ( before drugs and alcohol ) or whether addiction induced them . Using substances can certainly lead to symptoms that resemble mental illness . For example : Using cocaine causes feelings of grandiosity , which may resemble a manic episode from bipolar disorder Benzodiazepines are used to treat anxiety disorders , and withdrawal is known to induce panic attacks as well as feelings of anxiety Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant , and long - term use leads to chronic depression Depending on the substance , it may be difficult to discern the cause and effect relation between drugs and mental health . Many treatment centers will wait until after detox โ or even weeks into residential treatment โ until treating symptoms of other mental health conditions . Why Dual Diagnosis Treatment is So Important The occurrence of mental and behavioral disorders is demonstrated to make recovery much harder for those in addiction treatment . Many addicts use drugs and alcohol to โ self - medicate โ their conditions . If these conditions go untreated during the course of their sobriety , they often relapse to cope with them . For example , a depressed alcoholic is liable to go back to drinking unless their depression is dealt with . Because mental health and addiction are so intertwined , is crucial that they be treated equally and at the same time . Quality dual diagnosis treatment will balance traditional addiction treatment with medication , life coaching , and therapeutical services that are specifically tailored to the addict โ s mental health issues . Depression frequently goes hand - in - hand with addiction and alcoholism , and is a major dual diagnosis disorder that rehabilitation centers must accommodate . Many abused drugs actually depress the brain and central nervous system , causing depression on their own or making it worse when it is pre - existent . Chronically depressed addicts also have much higher relapse rates , and many unfortunates also attempt suicide before they can recover . Depression , Addiction & Treatment Depression encompasses a number of related mental illnesses that all fall under the category of โ depressive disorders . โ These include : Major depressive disorder : One or more major depressive orders in which an individual is disinterested or can not derive pleasure from their everyday life . Seasonal affective disorder : Two or more depressive episodes that occur specifically during the autumn / winter and tend to resolve by springtime . Dysthymia : Depression that is less severe than major depressive disorder , but tends to last longer ( at least a few years ) . Double Depression : Chronic dysthymia with intermittent major depressive episodes . Depressive disorders can also accompany and be related to bipolar disorder , psychotic disorders and personality disorders . Facts & Statistics About Depression 8.5 % of the world โ s population suffers from some form of depression Depressed women are 2x more likely to cope with their depression with alcohol Teens with untreated depression are 2x more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol Depression has caused or is linked to about 60 % of suicides , and drugs / alcohol are involved in over half of suicide attempts Depression & Substance Abuse Abuse and addiction to drugs and alcohol are firmly linked to major bouts of depression , but it is unclear what their exact relationship is . Many alcoholics drink to self - medicate their depression . Many others already exhibited signs of depression , which their drug use exacerbated . Regardless of which factor caused the other , it is clear that depression is a major obstacle in both active addiction and treatment . Depressed alcoholics are liable to continue drinking if their symptoms are not attended to . Usually , they are treated with a combination of medication ( i.e. antidepressants ) and therapy . However , these methods do not provide the quick solution that drugs do . They take time to work , and many addicts feel they are too far gone to stay sober . Dealing with depression and addiction / alcoholism at the same time is difficult , but it is by no means impossible . It requires a dedicated and professional treatment center , as well as commitment and discipline on the part of the addict him or herself . Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Post traumatic stress disorder ( commonly referred to as PTSD ) is a form of anxiety in which an individual undergoes a traumatic experience and is unable to cope with it in an otherwise healthy manner . It can be brought on by anything graphically traumatic to the individual , which varies from person to person . Nevertheless , common causes include sexual assault , experiences in combat and warfare , or any scenario in which a person felt threatened or faced a life - or - death situation . Post Traumatic Stress Disorder ( PTSD ) A key factor when diagnosing cases of PTSD is that its symptoms are not present until after the traumatic event in question . That is , it is not until someone is assaulted , for example , that they experience flashbacks , nightmares and negative associations with the setting and location of their experience . Diagnosing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder The criteria for diagnosing PTSD is as follows : Traumatic Event โ Involving BOTH the risk of serious harm to one โ s self or others AND a stimulated response of fear and / or helplessness . Re - Experiencing โ Reliving the traumatic event in some way that is pervasive and intrusive , such as flashbacks and nightmares . Avoidance โ Attempting to cope with the trauma through drugs , compulsive behavior , denial , rationalization , or refusing to speak about or avoiding anything that reminds one of it . Arousal / Agitation โ Characteristics that were not present before the traumatic event , such as insomnia , detachment , or outbursts of anger . Time โ PTSD symptoms must be experienced for over a month , or else it is diagnosed as acute stress disorder . Impairment โ These symptoms must prevent the person from functioning as they normally would , inhibiting or altering certain parts of their lives . Treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder PTSD gets worse over time if it is not addressed , and it should be treated as soon as symptoms are recognized . There are many ways to treat post traumatic stress disorder , and no one is more or less effective than another . They include on or a combination of the following : Medication โ There is no currently accepted medication on - label for the treatment of PTSD . However , psychiatrists may prescribe antidepressants , anticonvulsants ( if panic attacks are experienced ) , mood stabilizers , anti - psychotics ( if hallucinations or delusions are experienced ) , or even placebos where they are effective . Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT ) โ a broad form of therapy that seeks to change thoughts by changing behavior and vice versa . CBT is considered especially effective for dealing with persistent feelings of shame or guilt . Exposure Therapy โ therapy wherein avoidant behaviors are dealt with by forcing traumatized persons to personally confront their experiences , either gradually or all at once . Eating Disorder Eating disorders are mental and behavioral conditions wherein a person eats abnormally , either restricting their diet or eating too much for their health . It is commonly believed that these mental illnesses are a problem of the white , middle - to - upper class female . However , they are not restricted to any one kind of person , and they completely transcend race , gender and social class . Eating Disorders There are multiple types of eating disorders , with each one being extremely dangerous to the physical and mental health of those who suffer it . Kinds of Eating Disorders The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental Illnesses ( DSM , the primary database for diagnosing mental / behavioral abnormalities ) currently recognizes 4 types of eating disorders : Anorexia Nervosa : unhealthy and unrealistic perception of weight and body , with an obsession with maintaining or losing weight . There are 2 types of anorexics : Restricting โ restricting food and diet in order to lose weight Binging & Purging โ loss or maintenance of weight through overeating ( binging ) and then purging ( e.g. vomiting , laxatives ) Bulimia Nervosa : compulsive eating followed by purging , similar to binging and purging anorexic types , except bulimics โ body weights are not considered underweight ( whereas anorexics โ are severely underweight ) Binge Eating : overeating on at least 2 - 3 occasions within a week , usually accompanied by eating - induced feelings of shames as well as sometimes obesity or weight problems Otherwise - Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder : atypical instances of the above 3 disorders ( e.g. an anorexic who is not underweight ) Eating & Other Mental Health Disorders Abnormal eating habits may accompany other mental health conditions , whether substance abuse or mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety . Overeating is commonly used as a remedy to deal with feelings of depression , shame , anger , and anxiety . Eating disorders are also commonly associated with body dysmorphic disorder , in which a person โ s view of their body is severely distorted and interferes with their life . About 15 % of body dysmorphics have either bulimia or anorexia nervosa . Eating disorders are extremely detrimental to a person โ s health , both physically and mentally . Undereating ( or binging / purging ) restricts a person โ s nutrition and therefore their access to vital vitamins , minerals and nutrients . This can lead to a whole host of problems , including immune system weakness , mental / development deficiencies , and cardiovascular problems . Overeating can also lead to obesity , diabetes , and heart diseases . If you or a loved one may be suffering from an eating disorder , it is imperative to find help ASAP . Unattended , such disorders can cause permanent damage or even be deadly . Gambling Gambling addiction ( sometimes called โ ludomania โ or referred to as โ problem gambling โ ) is defined as a compulsive urge to gamble in spite of negative consequences . It is just as serious of an addictive disorder as alcoholism or substance abuse . As of 2013 , Gambling has been recognized as an addiction rather than a disorder of impulsive behavior , which it was long assumed to be . Gambling Addiction Since problem gambling has been re - classified as an addiction , psychologists have re - evaluated how an individual is classified as a gambling addict . In order to be diagnosed with gambling addiction , one must have experienced four or more of the following 9 symptoms within a year : Needs to constantly gamble with more money in order to feel the same level of pleasure / excitement Any attempt to change gambling habits significantly affects mood Has tried and failed to either cut back on gambling or stop altogether Thinks obsessively about gambling when not partaking in it Gambles to deal with other problems in life Gambling escalates after losing money Lies to hide gambling Has experienced negative social consequences ( e.g. losing a job , marriage , etc . ) Can not financially sustain gambling habits on own , so must rely on others ( through borrowing , stealing , etc . ) Gambling & Other Addictions As the list above makes clear , gambling compares quite similarly to substance addictions . For example , both gambling and drug addicts lie , steal and persist in their addictions in spite of the consequences . Both go through โ withdrawal , โ wherein the gambling addict becomes restless , irritable and discontented when not gambling . The biological basis for gambling addiction is also not unlike other addictions . A study has found that gambling stimulates endorphins , the same area of the brain affected by most addictive drugs . Endorphins are naturally opiates created by the brain to give people pleasure , but behaviors like pathological gambling release too many endorphins and thus lead to addiction . Gambling Addiction & Dual Diagnosis Like other addictions , gambling addiction is also likely to accompany other mental and behavioral illnesses . The co - occurrence of addiction with such disorders is referred to as dual diagnosis , and gambling addicts are very often dually diagnosed . They are also commonly cross - addicts , which means they are addicted to both a substance ( drugs or alcohol ) and a behavior ( gambling ) . A 2011 study reviewed the prevalence of mental disorders and substance addictions in pathological gamblers Over 60 % were addicted to nicotine Over 57 % were addicted to drugs and / or alcohol About 38 % had mood disorders ( bipolar , depression , etc . ) About 37 % had anxiety disorders ( generalized anxiety , obsessive - compulsive disorder , etc . ) Like many other cases of dual diagnosis , it is difficult to separate the mental disorder from gambling addiction . In order to qualify as a gambling addict , gambling must NOT be related to manic episodes experienced in bipolar disorder . It is also difficult to tell if addicts are replacing one addiction with another ( e.g. giving up alcohol but taking up gambling ) . Nevertheless , these findings do confirm that gambling addiction is a serious disease , much like other addictions , that must be reckoned with , and that gambling addicts are in desperate need of help . ADOLESCENT / YOUTH ADDICTION & TREATMENT There are many reasons why a young adult may begin using or abusing drugs and alcohol . The adolescent brain is underdeveloped and prone to impulsivity and irrational behavior . Many face significant identity crises as they try to โ fit in โ and be a part of a social group . Others succumb to the pressures of education , sports , etc . A prevalent factor throughout all adolescence is peer pressure and the desire to take part in illicit activities when others are doing it . Adolescent Drug & Alcohol Use As of December 2014 , the National Institute on Drug Abuse โ s Monitoring the Future survey reports that : By 8th grade , 11.7 % use marijuana 9 % use alcohol 5.3 % use inhalants 3.3 % use synthetic cannabis ( e.g. โ spice โ ) 2 % use cough medicine 2 % use pharmaceutical painkillers By 12th grade , 37.4 % use alcohol 35.1 % use marijuana 8.6 % use prescription stimulants 8.1 % use pharmaceutical painkillers 5.8 % use synthetic cannabis 4.7 % use tranquilizers ( Xanax , Valium , etc . ) 4.3 % use sedatives ( e.g. barbiturates ) 4.1 % use cough medicine Adolescent Addiction Treatment It is extremely important to begin addiction treatment during the adolescent stage , but it is often also the most difficult time to recover . Partying , drinking and using drugs are considered a normal part of growing up , and teens feel robbed of their adolescence if they spend it sober . It is also more difficult to have a social life , go through college , etc . when one is sober . Nevertheless , the fact remains that adolescent drug abuse is particularly dangerous . There is a strong , direct correlation between the age at which drug use begins and the risk of becoming an addict . Drug and alcohol abuse at younger ages can also leave permanent mental and behavioral effects . The brain of a young adult is not wholly developed , and drug use halts or alters this development . For these reasons , it is best for an adolescent to recover with an organization with a specialized youth program such as the program we at the Canadian Addiction Recovery Network offer . Addiction treatment will not only use specialized therapy but also workshops that deal specifically with adolescent issues . Each young man and woman will find that , no matter what they believe , it is not impossible to attain sobriety while they are young . | [

We did not have to show our passport to use CC , but you do have to show your passport when you exchange your CDN money for CUC . ( the rate is about $ 80CUC for $ 90CDN ) Honestly the prices of most things ( excluding booze - as that is really cheap ) are just a little bit cheaper than they are here .

Sounds like $ 200 - 300 is appropriate . I was also reading that a person needs 25 CUC as a departure fee at the airport . Is that fee per person ? Is there an Arrival Fee ? Also , I noticed you both mentioned tipping . I usually leave tips when travelling in North America , however when reading this article from tripadvisor . ca ( see link below ) , it sounds like it can be more detrimental than helpful . I do n ' t think I ' d hand out gifts , however I would n ' t mind leaving a tip for the hotel staff .

And yes , you will need to pay 25 CUC at the airport for each person or you wo n ' t be able to come back to our lovely Canada . I went to Varadero , and I have to say the thing that shocked me the most is that they had dogs running around the airport with no leashes . The dogs were on the conveyers with your bags and just wandering around the airport . Also , all the security guards and employees wear surgical masks . . .

I ' m rather surprised that I hear from acquaintances that they often leave gifts such as shoes for the maids . However , most people , I ' ve talked to have n ' t been there for about 10 years . Is this still a common occurrence or is it more standard now to leave a Peso as was mentioned upthread ? We will be staying in an all inclusive resort . Any other advice on tipping ? Should we get vaccinated against hepatitis or malaria prior to departing ? Anything else , other than what has been 2011 - 12 - 18 , 01 : 21 AM # 8 Vacinations would be your call , although you may get bit by the mossies i do n ' t think malaria in Cuba is much of a concern . I ' ve never bothered with vacinations yet and have n ' t had any issues and i usually end up drinking tap water ! Mossies are usually only out early morning . The hep vac is usually two shots months apart so you might be too late for it now for this trip . You can tip what your comfortable leaving it is all inclusive afterall so reward the ones It ' s not much different then other countries except for the lack of various items do to the embargo but even that has been improving in the last few years as more countries open up more trade and their government seems to be becoming less restrictive . Proof of medical insurance is supposedly required ( prov health card is sufficient ) but neither I or anyone else I ' ve travelled with has been asked to show it .

CAPR - 14 - 0364 Published December 2014 Article Figures & Data Info & Metrics PDF Abstract This perspective discusses the report by Pinsky and colleagues , which addresses whether noncalcified pulmonary nodules identified on CT screening carry short - and long - term risk for lung cancer . We are facing challenges related to distinguishing a large majority of benign nodules from malignant ones and among those a majority of aggressive from indolent cancers . Key questions in determining individual probabilities of disease , given their history , findings on CT , and upcoming biomarkers of risk , remain most challenging . Reducing the false positives associated with current low - dose computed tomography practices and Cancer Prev Res ; 7 ( 12 ) ; 1173 โ 8 . ยฉ 2014 AACR See related article by Pinsky et al . , p . 1179 Introduction We are facing an epidemic of indeterminate pulmonary nodules ( IPN ) , not only those found incidentally , but also through the proliferation of CT screening programs targeting high - risk individuals for lung cancer following the encouraging results of the National Lung Screening Trial ( NLST ; ref . 1 ) and the USPSTF recommendations ( 2 , 3 ) . Although the large majority of IPNs are benign , current predictive tools to discriminate benign from malignant nodules are suboptimal , leading to a large number of follow - up CTs , unnecessary invasive biopsies with attendant morbidity and rare mortality , anxiety , and wasted healthcare spending . Although the optimal approach to the management of patients with IPNs is evolving as technologies develop , key questions in determining individual probabilities of disease , given their history or findings on CT , remain most challenging . IPNs are those that have some risk of cancer . They 4 ) . The question addressed in Pinsky and colleagues ( 4 ) is whether NCNs โฅ 4 mm in diameter carry a short - term ( 0 โ 23 months ) or long - term ( 60 โ 84 months ) risk for lung cancer . The featured manuscript determines that some NCNs may be cancer precursors based on the analysis of the CT screening data of the NLST . Although the majority of NCNs are not cancer precursors , NCNs are strongly associated with short - term cancer risk and weaker long - term risk ( Fig . 1 , courtesy of Dr . Pinsky ) . The presence of an NCN confers significantly elevated long - term lung cancer risk ratios ( RR ) of 1.8 , 2.4 , and 3.5 at the person , lung , and lobe levels ; corresponding short - term RRs were 10.3 , 16.8 , and 38.0 , respectively . Ground glass opacity ( GGOs ) were associated with long - term lung cancer risk ( HR = 3.1 ) but inversely associated with short - term risk ( HR = 0.3 ) .

When managing IPNs , the majority of diagnostic errors occur in the intermediate probability group ( Fig . 2 , current prediction models ) . This is due to a lack of deep knowledge of structural features of IPNs and the absence of validated diagnostic biomarkers for accurate disease categorization . Although most IPNs represent benign disease , significant morbidity and cost are associated with their management โ up to $ 28 billion / year in the United States . Incorrect evaluation of IPNs causes risks that range from anxiety ( 6 ) , to a high rate of unnecessary thoracotomies for benign nodules , to missed chances for cure during follow - up resulting in death . Chest CT is not capable of providing the improved diagnostic accuracy needed . Download figure Open in new tab Download powerpoint Figure 2 . IPNs and probability of cancer . Schematic representation of current prediction models compared with how improved prediction models could benefit clinical management . Probabilities of IPNs to represent lung cancer are based on their clinical presentation with recommended follow - up . Low probability is considered 0 % to 5 % , intermediate 6 % to 60 % , and high 61 % to 100 % ( based on Wahidi et al ; ref . 16 ) Improved predictive models could dramatically reclassify nodules into different probability groups to address the likelihood of cancer at initial discovery . We define IPNs as noncalcified lung nodules , solid , part - solid , or ground - glass opacities , which , assuming a spherical nodule , have diameters ranging from 7 mm to 20 mm . IPNs with largest diameters above 7 mm decrease the false - positive rates to 7.2 % versus 10.5 % for 6 mm or 15.8 % for 5 mm ( 7 โ 10 ) . IPNs may be solitary or multiple and are extremely common , with the reported prevalence between 8 % and 69 % depending on the clinical context ( i.e. , screening or prevalent disease , age , and endemic area for fungal disease ; refs . 1 11 โ 15 ) . Despite using a lower diameter of 4 mm for IPN in the early results of the NLST , a 20 % relative reduction in lung cancer - specific mortality was found ( ) , though with 39.1 % of the individuals having at least one positive result . The vast majority of IPNs were benign , with a false - positive ( FP ) rate in this high - risk cohort of 96 % ( ) . The management of lung nodules follows the American College of Chest Physicians ( ACCP ; refs . 16 , 17 ) and very similar National Comprehensive Cancer Network ( NCCN ) guidelines ( 18 ) , which recommend that for nodules > 8 mm in diameter , when the probability of lung cancer is < 5 % , a follow - up CT be done at 3 months . Should the probability be between 5 % and 60 % , the ACCP recommends a PET CT or tissue diagnosis . Should the probability be > 60 % , a tissue diagnosis is recommended at discovery ( 16 ) . Despite attempts at bringing uniformity of IPN follow - up , controversy persists ( 19 โ 23 ) . The discrimination of benign from malignant IPNs is based on the nodule density , size , shape , and changes in these characteristics over time , particularly in growth rate demonstrated by nodule volume doubling time ( VDT ; ref . 24 ) . Volumetric analysis of nodules has improved significantly with the rates of change of the volumes ( growth rates ) being some of the best predictors of malignancy ( 23 ) . Yet growth rate can not provide the answer the patients want at the time of discovery because calculation of growth rate requires follow - up studies . Automated approaches for volumetric analysis are being aggressively pursued ( 25 , 26 ) and are facing the challenges of nodules of low density , those abutting the pleura or the mediastinum , those in direct relationship with the vasculature , and , very importantly , the challenge of addressing methods to determine accurately and reproducibly the smallest measurable change . We expect very rapid and significant improvement in this field as we also preconize acquisition of thin sections CT for lung nodule evaluation ( NCCN guidelines ; refs . 27 , 28 ; ACR guidelines ) . Accurate volumetric analysis is likely soon to be part of the arsenal of quantifiable features , image - based biomarkers to be used in clinical practice as molecular markers have successfully entered our clinical practice . Tumor volume estimation should lead to improving current guidelines of the management of IPNs . Risk for Having or Risk for Developing Lung Cancer ? A separate discussion of short - term risk ( risk of having lung cancer ) and long - term risk ( risk of developing lung cancer ) is necessary as the variables predicting disease vary dramatically depending on the clinical setting . Associated with these risks are probabilities . At baseline , the size of an IPN on CT confers the most valuable estimate of malignancy , with nodule diameter related to likelihood of malignancy , respectively , of : < 5 mm : 0 % โ 1 % ; 5 โ 10 mm : 6 % โ 28 % 29 ) . However , growth rate is most closely associated with malignancy ( 30 ) . The proportions of IPNs falling into high , intermediate , or low risk for cancer vary with clinical setting , that is , screening , diagnostic , or preoperative , but the largest proportion ( 50 % โ 76 % ) falls in the intermediate - risk group . Nodules in this group account for the largest number of invasive biopsies for benign disease . A critical goal is to improve the proper classification of these intermediate probability nodules , at discovery , into the low - or high - risk groups ( Fig . 2 ) . Diagnostic models have been proposed by Gurney and colleagues ( 31 ) , Gould and colleagues ( 32 ) , and Swensen and colleagues ( 33 ) but , as we have shown , only provide 69 % accuracy in IPNs ( 34 , 35 ) . These models include age , smoking history , and size / location of the nodule and are improved by McWilliams and colleagues ( 36 ) but do not yet integrate automated quantitative imaging analysis , including assessment of volume growth rate , or molecular biomarkers . Predicting the risk of developing lung cancer is a difficult task . As good as the models are currently , they are imperfect . The study from Pinsky and colleagues has the merit of demonstrating risk of cancer even at a long - term point , in this case 6.5 years . Bringing NCNs to the attention of risk modelers is essential as there are few other variables used thus far , including age , smoking history , asbestos exposure , and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease ( COPD ) . In a population that is screened with low - dose 37 ) . Not surprisingly , the field of diagnostics is improving much faster than our ability to predict cancer development . Intermediate Endpoint Biomarkers in Chemoprevention Studies Chemoprevention efforts are most compelling given the morbidity and the costs associated with managing patients with lung cancer . The goal is to prevent cancer or to treat the field effect or identifiable precancerous lesions in high - risk individuals . Safety and efficacy of chemopreventive strategies are difficult to establish over a short period of treatment ( 38 , 39 ) . Six months to a year typically does not have a major impact on cancer risk . Although phase III trials will assess clinical utility of these interventions , trials that test lung cancer as outcome are long and expensive . In contrast , phase II efficacy cancer prevention trials rely on intermediate endpoints that are predictive of patient outcomes , such as cancer incidence . Importantly , surrogate endpoint biomarkers would have tremendous impact for phase III trials . Yet , intermediate endpoint biomarkers in lung cancer chemoprevention trials have never been proven against hard outcomes such as 39 ) . Ideally , these biomarkers are involved in tumorigenesis and modulated by the intervention . Because bronchial airway preinvasive lesions are more prevalent in the cancer population ( 40 , 41 ) , and because GGOs are also more prevalent among patients with known lung cancer ( 42 ) , precursor lesions and in particular GGOs may represent a surrogate intermediate endpoint biomarker of risk . Some NCNs may fit this description ( 43 Using the large NLST dataset , Pinsky and colleagues ( ) determined the short - and long - term lung cancer risk of noncalcified lung nodules . The study confirms previous findings . NCNs presenting as GGO on chest CT have a lower risk of developing into cancer ; therefore , guidelines suggest that GGOs be monitored longer than solid nodules for progression to invasive lung cancer . Solid or part solid , and especially lobulated and / or spiculated nodules , however , have known greater risk for being lung cancer . Short - term follow - up CT can identify fast - growing intermediate - size lung nodules 8 ) . Similarly , lowering the VDT threshold ( VDT cutoff ) from 400 days to 232 days lowers the false - positive referrals while maintaining sensitivity for lung cancer diagnosis ( 44 ) . In the NLST dataset , there is no certain answer to whether given NCNs end up being lung cancers because there are only 2 years of imaging follow - up beyond baseline . All of the long - term cancers , by definition , occurred at least 5 years from baseline . Therefore , at the time of cancer diagnosis , we do not have images available to examine whether a NCN evolved into the cancer . The fundamental assumption of chemopreventive strategies is that treatment of a premalignant lesion prevents the development of an invasive cancer . If this assumption is correct , and if some NCNs represent precursor lesions , a successful therapeutic intervention would prevent these lesions from developing into cancer . In fact , the majority of lung nodules do not represent precursor lesions , few of the premalignant lesions progress ( 40 45 โ 47 ) , and it is unclear whether chemoprevention strategies do prevent lung cancer development or allow regression of preinvasive lesions . Moreover , most of these lesions are not biopsied so it remains quite challenging to work with the lack of proven , histologic diagnosis for these lesions . Should an intervention be tested against such NCN as surrogate endpoint , the results could be confounded by the fact that most nodules will regress ( because most are inflammatory and contained by an appropriate immune response ) with their response being true but unrelated to the effect of the chemopreventive Many chemoprevention endpoint biomarkers in lung cancer have been proposed , including changes in histologic grade , proliferation index ( Ki - 67 or PCNA ) , blood biomarkers , or urinary metabolites ( PGEM ; refs . 38 , 39 ) . None have been tested against an ultimate outcome , such as cancer development . Noninvasive surrogate biomarkers would be ideal as tissue requirements are usually quite limiting for feasibility reasons . Blood biomarkers have been very difficult to use , and none of them have been validated in chemoprevention studies . Molecular markers may allow us to select individuals at greater risk , but markers of response to chemoprevention strategies have been most difficult to establish ( ) . Chemoprevention studies where the evaluation by nodule type was considered revealed a nonsignificant trend toward regression of nonsolid and subsolid lesions after budesonide treatment ( 43 48 49 ) . However , resolution of CT - detected nodules was not originally an endpoint in the study protocols , and , therefore , there were only a small number of subjects with nodules . Consequently , NCNs should be investigated further as potential intermediate endpoints for early - phase chemoprevention trials , akin to the use of colon polyps in colon cancer prevention studies . A clear and immediately apparent concern is that screening chest CTs offered at the onset of chemoprevention studies will detect NCNs , most of which will be benign . A great proportion of the precursor lesions detected may in fact be precursors of rather indolent cancers and represent risk for overdiagnosis bias , thus defeating the purpose of any chemoprevention trial . Yet , imaging biomarkers predicting precursor lesion behavior would be invaluable in this regard . Because thin - slice ( e.g. , sub - 2 mm ) low - dose chest CTs are being deployed across the nation Challenges : Precursor Lesions , Overdiagnosis NCNs can be categorized as solid or subsolid nodules . The subsolid nodules are subcategorized as part - solid and non - solid ( GGOs ) . Approximately 19 % of IPNs are subsolid nodules ( 14 36 50 ) , which include GGOs ( โผ 14 % ) and part - solid nodules ( โผ 5 % ) . Because there is strong correlation between the size of the solid component on CT and the invasive component on pathology ( 51 ) , features are expected to be readily analyzable by structural imaging . Although subsolid nodules are particularly difficult to segment with automated software , novel segmentations that both identify the solid component and encompass the semisolid component within a sphere of fixed diameter are showing promise ( 52 ) . This approach allows for quantitative features describing size , shape , density , and texture to be extracted from solid nodules and density and texture features from semisolid components . Overdiagnosis is a serious problem in screening detected lung cancers . Overdiagnosis may account for up to 18.5 % of screening detected lung cancers ( 53 ) . In the COSMOS trial , slow - growing or indolent cancer comprised approximately 25 % of incident cases , many of which may have been overdiagnosed ( 54 ) . We hope to eventually identify indolent cancers by careful surveillance and provide new management strategies , considering intervention when the nodule progresses . There is a great association between GGOs and atypical adenomatous hyperplasia ( AAH ) . Yet , the rate of true AAH progressing to invasive malignancy is unclear . The reported incidence of AAH in resections of ground - glass opacities varies widely in the peer - reviewed literature from 6 % to 58 % ( 48 ) . We must further study the natural history of preinvasive lesions . We should find new ways of studying GGOs and part - solid nodules that are better than cross - sectional CT studies followed by lengthy prospective cohorts , which are difficult , expensive , and do not provide the necessary tissue for detailed study . We must study the biology of GGOs and part - solid nodules in greater details , and go beyond their characterization by means of EGFR and KRAS mutation status . We need to improve our understanding of their metabolism and heterogeneity , Conclusions Many areas of uncertainty remain and need further investigation of our understanding of IPNs , especially part - solid nodules and GGOs . To cite a few examples , regular exponential growth of a nodule can not be assumed from GGOs as it is for solid nodules ( 55 , 56 ) . The slow growth and metastatic behavior of this understudied group of IPNs are poorly understood . Is there a role of COPD in presentation of nodules and / or their evolution to invasive cancers ? How can we improve the quantitative , noninvasive assessment of these nodules by low - dose CT , specifically the accurate measurement of growth rate / VDT and detection of early development of solid ( invasive ) components in previously purely nonsolid nodules ? Addressing these challenges will help in the study of these IPNs as intermediate endpoint biomarkers in chemoprevention .

http://cancerwall.com/pancoast-tumor-symptoms-survival-rate-prognosis-treatment/ | Pancoast Tumor โ Symptoms , Treatment , Survival Rate and Prognosis Posted on by admin No Comments โ Pancoast tumor , first described in 1924 by American radiologist Henry Pancoast , is a benign or malignant tumor which arises in the upper lung ( apex ) commonly situated in the right upper corner and which often affects the apical chest wall structures . It can also spread to neighboring parts of the body like the ribs , lymph nodes , vertebrae , and nerves . More than 95 percent of patients with Pancoast tumor have non - small cell lung cancer , and less than 5 percent suffer from small cell lung cancer . The risk factors in developing pancoast tumor include family history , cigarette smoking , and exposure to second - hand smoke and industrial elements such as asbestos , gold , and nickel . Preventing pancoast tumor involves smoking cessation and reduced exposure to the mentioned harmful substances . Pancoast Tumor Symptoms In This Article show Pancoast syndrome Pancoast syndrome , which is caused by a tumor in the apex of the lungs , involves the first and second ribs , vertebral column , spinal cord , and brachial plexus . It consists of pain , weakness , or numbness that starts from the shoulder and radiates to the arm and hand . Horner โ s syndrome In severe situations , pancoast tumor can give rise to Horner โ s syndrome , whose symptoms include constriction of the pupils ( miosis ) , drooping of the eyelid ( ptosis ) , lack of sweating ( anhidrosis ) , and sunken eyeballs ( enophthalmos ) . Hoarse voice The tumor compresses the laryngeal nerve , resulting in bovine cough and hoarseness of voice . Superior vena cava syndrome The tumor obstructs the superior vena cava , resulting in facial swelling with bluish discoloration ( cyanosis ) and dilated head and neck veins . Paraplegia Paraplegia or paralysis of the lower half part of the body can occur when the tumor has reached the intervertebral foramina . It can also affect both legs . Parasthesia It is the sensation of tingling , burning , pricking , and numbness in the skin which often occurs in the hands , arm , and forearm . This may also involve weakness secondary to atrophy . Pancoast Tumor Diagnosis Computed tomography CT scan of the chest is obtained to further distinguish the characteristic of the lesion and to assess the enlarged size of nearby organs like lymph nodes as well as the liver and adrenal glands for possible metastases . Magnetic resonance imaging In patients without metastatic disease , MRI should be obtained to assess tumor resectability . MRI is the most ideal procedure to examine the extension of the tumor and the involvement of other structures of the body like bone structures and the brachial plexus . Cytology Confirmation through cytology can be obtained by fine - needle aspiration of the mass . Pancoast Tumor Treatment Neoadjuvant treatment Treatment consists of chemotherapy and radiation therapy given prior to surgical procedures . This mode of treatment is now the standard of care with an acceptable 5 - year survival rate . Postoperative radiation therapy can also be applied to achieve reduction of circulating tumor cells and eradication of subclinical metastases not recognized during surgery . Surgery Surgery is the primary treatment for pancoast tumor . This may involve the removal of the apex of the lungs along with related affected structures . Before the surgery , the doctor will evaluate the pulmonary function of the patient and will also need to determine the location and degree of the tumor . Lobectomy can be the option for tumor located at the center of the lobe . Pneumonectomy is the procedure of choice for cases involving the extension of tumor which affects the orifice of the lobar bronchus and involves more than one lobe . Prognosis and survival rate In the past , the survival rate of pancoast tumor is very poor , and it is considered as incurable and inoperable . Due to its inaccessibility , treating pancoast tumor is known to be invasive . But with recent treatment modalities , studies have shown that the survival rate has improved . There is a 30 - percent survival rate within 5 years after the surgery ; however , if mediastinal lymph nodes involvement occurs , the assumed survival period is less than 9 months only .

http://cancerwall.com/soft-tissue-sarcoma-pictures-symptoms-survival-rate-prognosis/ | Soft Tissue Sarcoma โ Pictures , Symptoms , Survival Rate , Prognosis Posted on by admin No Comments โ What is Soft tissue Sarcoma ? In This Article show Soft tissue sarcoma is a form of cancerous tumor . The sarcoma is originated in the soft tissues of the body . The vital soft tissues are the tissue which performs the action of connecting the various body parts . The major soft tissues in the body are muscles , nerves , blood vessels , fat and tendons . The synovial tissues are also considered as the soft tissue or connecting tissue . The dreadful disease can put patient in severe pain and can even cause untimed death . There are two types of soft tissue tumors one is benign and the other is sarcoma . Benign is a normal tumor and has no risk of life where as the Sarcoma are a rare form of cancer and a life threatening disease . Any body part can be susceptible to sarcoma and it may even affect the internal body organs . There are as many as 50 types of sarcoma which can grow in human body like Leiomyosarcoma , Hemangiosarcoma , Lymphangiosarcoma . The naming of the sarcoma comes from the tissue in which it originates . Symptoms of Soft Tissue Sarcoma : Detecting a soft tissue sarcoma in an early stage is not at all an easy job to do . The disease leaves almost no clue while it originates . However with the growth of the tumor some symptoms and impacts start coming in front . The major and common symptoms of Soft tissue sarcoma can be discussed below . The most common symptom of sarcoma is unnatural swelling in the body part . The tumor causes the lumping of the body part where it has originated . As sarcoma can grow on nerves and muscles , with the growth it starts giving pain in the nerves and the muscles . At initial stage the pain can be felt only when these are pressed but with the time the pain gets intensified and becomes unbearable . If the sarcoma tumor is located in the internal body organs like stomach or intestine or gastrointestinal area then it causes the blockages in the organs and the organ starts malfunctioning . The presence of sarcoma in the digestive track or near abdominal cavity can cause good amount of continuous bleeding in the bowel . This is also called a GIST in the track . It results in vomiting of blood or dark bowel motion and weakness due to anemia . The abdominal pain is the initial symptom . The sarcoma in lungs causes frequent coughs and also suffocation problem arises due to breathlessness . Any of the symptoms can be a consequence of the soft tissue sarcoma , so it is always better to consult a doctor when your body shows the complications . A preventive step can save from the destructive future . Treatments of Soft Tissue Sarcoma : After the diagnosis of the soft tissue sarcoma , treatment becomes important for the patient . But the treatment of the soft tissue sarcoma is not uniform for every patient . It highly depends upon the stage of the tumor , location where it has generated , type of the sarcoma and most importantly how much it has spread . The treatment can be decided with the stage of the maligned tumor in the body . Stage A : The first stage of the sarcoma is the initial stage of the disease . If diagnosed properly then the patient can be cured with the help of surgery . Surgery is one of the favored techniques to treat the cancerous tumor . Generally in this stage , the size of the tumor remains very small normally less than 5 cm and it does not spread also in other parts . This can be easily handled with a surgery to remove the portion of the body where it has generated . However it has to be ensured that it has Stage B : The next stage is more difficult to handle as the size of tumor grows to relatively large amount . The removal of the tissues from a large area might cause a problem as it starts spreading in the body . Surgery remains no option if the size of the tumor is large . However with Chemotherapy and radiation therapy the maligned area can be reduced so that a surgery can be carried out to remove the affected area . Stage C : This is the last and final stage of the soft tissue sarcoma . The size and the metastasis due to the tumor become wide and large in the body . The rate of curability in this stage drops down to a large number . But some patient shows improvement in the condition with the therapy and surgery . However doctors claim no guarantee after patient reaches the stage . Even after the successful surgery the soft tissue sarcoma can grow back due to the potency of cancer cells to recurrent in the same location or other body parts . Prognosis of Soft Tissue Sarcoma : The soft tissues sarcoma is not a common disease . But it can be very dangerous if it sticks to anyone . The disease can be cured at an early stage but if it reaches Stage C , the chances of getting cure get decreased . The Stage C a very less chance of improvement and cause death of the patient . However the outlook depends on some factors like age , type of sarcoma and place of origin and it may vary from individual to individual . The cancerous Sarcoma can always come back from where it has originated even after a surgery or therapy that increases the chance of re surgery and therapy . Survival Rate of Soft Tissue Sarcoma : The overall survival rate of the soft tissue sarcoma is better than other cancer forms . The survival rate counted on the basis of 5 year survival has found that almost 90 % of the patient โ s diagnosed in the Stage A have survived for 5 or more years . However the rate decreases to 75 % for the Stage B and 56 % for the early Stage C of the disease .

http://candidamd.com/candida/anxiety.html | Candida anxiety Anxiety and panic attacks are disorders that were virtually unknown not many years ago , and today are of epidemic proportions . Anxiety is the experience of intense worry or uneasiness , an inability to feel any calmness , a low - level panic . Panic attacks are a heightened version of the same , an emotional roller coaster ride causing the body and mind to react as if there were a true emergency . In both anxiety and panic , the surrounding Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available . Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video . circumstances may contribute but are not the driving cause of the symptoms . In other words , the anxiety and panic are not caused by a previous experience nor by what is happening around you ( although your surroundings may serve as a trigger ) . They are caused by an inner disorder . Sleep troubles are also very common with those who suffer from anxiety . The diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder is the most common conventional label that is given . Benzodiazepine drugs ( which include Valium , Xanax , Ativan , Klonopin , Restoril and the closely related Ambien ) or antidepressants are generally prescribed . These do nothing to address the underlying disorder , but are only given in hopes of suppressing the problem . Unfortunately , the benzodiazepine class of drugs leads to a subtle but dangerous addiction state in most cases after several months of usage . This is evidenced by the need to increase the dose from the original dose What , then , is the underlying inner disorder causing anxiety and panic ? Clinical experience has shown that people with anxiety and panic also have a history of exposure to those risk factors that foster Candida in the body ( things like repeated courses of antibiotics , frequent swimming pool use , regular alcohol use , etc . ) . When people with anxiety and panic do effective treatment for Candida , these disorders rapidly improve , and in most cases disappear completely in just a few days . Candida is the cause of almost all cases of panic attacks and anxiety . The presence of excess Candida in the body results in certain toxic chemicals in the blood which the liver fails to remove adequately . These chemical toxins entering the nervous system are what produce anxiety and panic . In many patients , this phenomenon can be observed anywhere from several minutes to several hours after eating certain fungal foods , such as alcohol or B vitamins . With effective Candida treatment , anxiety and panic patients usually notice the following : Some increased anxiety at some point in the first 36 hours of treatment . Usually this is short and not severe , but in a few cases it could last 2 - 3 days . After the first 36 hours , many still feel at times like they โ re going to have anxiety , but it does n โ t quite actually come on . Then after a few days even that feeling goes away completely . The most common experience , especially when the anxiety is not too serious in the first place , is that people find that the anxiety is gone by the second day and simply never returns . Anxiety and panic are things of the past once effective Candida treatment is begun . A note regarding benzodiazepine use for anxiety disorder People who have been treating their anxiety or panic ( or even insomnia ) with benzodiazepines ( Xanax , Ativan , Klonopin , Valium , Restoril and even Ambien ) on a regular basis must understand that they are probably addicted to those drugs in addition to having the underlying Candida problem . In most cases , the best approach is to treat Candida first to take care of the basic cause of anxiety , and then to receive treatment for the benzodiazepine addiction .

http://canigivemybaby.com/eggs/ | Can I Give My Baby Eggs ? Hard boiled , over easy , scrambled , Benedict , fried , sunny side up , most people have a preference how they like their eggs . And most people enjoy a breakfast that contains eggs . So when you are cooking yourself up a nice batch of those little white ovals , you may consider giving some to your baby . But then you wonder , is this a good idea ? Whether or not you can feed eggs to your baby has one very aggravating answer : it depends . Eggs ( typically the white part of the egg ) are known to be highly allergenic . Because of this , some doctors recommend waiting to serve eggs to your baby until after his or her first birthday . On the other hand , the American Academy of Pediatrics believes that prolonging the introduction of allergenic foods to your baby will not decrease the risk . Basically , they believe that if your child is allergic to a certain food , such as eggs , whether your introduce it to them at four months or their first birthday , they are going to have the same reaction .

This is why some people choose to eat only the egg whites . If you want to ensure your baby is not intaking any excess cholesterol , you can opt to serve him or her egg whites only . Also , while most standard eggs have a good source of vitamins and minerals , you can also purchase special eggs that have been When you first introduce eggs to your little one , make sure to either serve it alone or with another food your child has already enjoyed . It is always best to wait three days in between feeding your child new foods . This way , if your child does have an allergic reaction , you will know which food caused it . Allergic Reactions Egg allergies are very common in children who have a family history of an egg allergy . If your baby has an egg allergy , the symptoms , which include anything from hives to vomiting and low blood pressure to itching , will usually occur within minutes . For mild allergic reactions , you should contact your child โ s doctor . For more severe reactions , you should call 911 or take your child to the nearest hospital . The good news , though , is that most children who have an egg allergy tend to outgrow it by Unfortunately for those suffering from an egg allergy , egg is in a great deal of food . Parents of children with egg allergies need to thoroughly check the label on everything before giving it to your child . Even if you think something is safe , it is always best to check the label first just to be sure . Either 4 - 6 Months or After One Year Remember , eggs are one of the top most allergenic foods . Though some doctors believe you should wait until after your child โ s first birthday to introduce them to your child โ s diet , others believe it is fine between four and six months . Deciding what time is best for your child to be introduced to eggs is up to you ( and your child โ s doctor ) . Eggs are a healthy addition to your child โ s diet , and are a great source of protein . If you have any concerns about feeding eggs to your child , it is always best to consult your child โ s doctor . He or she will be able to answer your questions , discuss your concerns and give you guidance in more thorough detail . Add Your Own Answer to Can I Give My Baby Eggs ? Below | [

http://cannabischris.com/2013/01/cannabis-infused-coconut-oil-capsules/ | You are here : Home Cannabis Chris Articles Cannabis Infused Coconut Oil & Marijuana Capsules Cannabis Infused Coconut Oil & Marijuana Capsules By CannabisChris on Wednesday , January 16 , 2013 The greatest oil to use when making cannabis infused capsules is definitely coconut oil . Because coconut oil contains high amounts of EFA โ s ( essential fatty acids ) is makes a very good binding agent for the cannabinoids and draws them out of the cannabis plant - material very nicely . Coconut oil is fairly inexpensive , is readily available in organic form , and is easy to work with at room temperature since it solidifies . All of these reasons , plus the added health benefits of using coconut oil make it the best oil for making Health Benefits of coconut oil Coconut oil has many health benefits on it โ s own . It contains high amounts of essential fatty acids as well as beneficial saturated fats . Coconut oil contains a very high amount of lauric acid โ which is highly beneficial for the human immune system . Coconut oil contains more lauric acid than any known source โ other than mothers - milk . The EFA โ s that are found in coconut oil are processed directly in the liver . This process causes an increase in metabolism , while at the same time giving the person who ingests it an energy boost . Coconut Oil Infused with Cannabis Infusing cannabis into coconut oil works great when looking for a way to ingest cannabis . Since the essential fatty acids in the coconut oil are easily processed by the liver , and THC is also processed by the liver when eaten , the infused oil gives the cannabinoids a great entry into the liver where it can be processed into the metabolite called 11 - hydroxy - THC . 11 - hydroxy - THC is said to be 4 - 5 times as potent as the smoked form of THC . Once the cannabinoids are infused into the coconut oil , you will be able to gain the benefits of both the medical marijuana strain you have chosen to use , as well as the natural health and immune benefits of the coconut oil itself . The process In order to make coconut oil capsules that are infused with cannabis , we must complete a two - step process . The first step is to infuse the cannabis into the coconut oil . The second step is where you will turn the infused oil into easy to take gelatin capsules . The supplies What you will need : Cannabis Material โ trim / bud - shake ( very close trim , no lower leaf ) , 2 grams of trim per 7 grams of coconut oil . If using quality buds adjust recipe to 1.5 grams bud for every 7 gram coconut oil . Organic Coconut Oil ( about $ 20 from health food store ) Double Boiler Grinder โ coffee grinder designated for cannabis use works great . Clean white handkerchief Syringe without needle โ The ones for injecting meat / turkies work well . Scale that measures in grams Candy thermometer or instant - read digital thermometer . ( infra - red heat guage works too ) Step 1 โ Infusing the coconut oil with cannabis First measure out all of your ingredients . The coconut oil may be measured and placed directly into the top portion of the double boiler and the heat turned on . Heat the oil up as high as it will go in the double boiler . While heating , move on to the next step . Grind the pre - measured marijuana up in the coffee grinder . Once ground very well , make sure there are no stems left in it . You should be left with a fine - ground marijuana powder . I like to pour this marijuana powder through a sifter at this point , in order to remove any over sized pieces and leaf stems . Check that the coconut oil is at a temperature of at least 200 degrees ( fahrenheit ) . If not , you may remove the top portion of the double - boiler and place it directly on a burner ( placed on med - med / high ) for just a minute or two โ in order to bring up the temperature . Once over 200 degrees , move on to next step โฆ Pour the ground up marijuana into the heated oil . Immediately you should hear a little noise and begin to smell the terpenes in the plant material evaporating . Do n โ t worry , as long as you are keeping the temperatures in the 200 โ s you will not be losing any active cannabinoids . Once the marijuana has been poured into the coconut oil , slowly stir the mixture up in order to combine well . Activating the THC : In order to give you the desired effect ( psychoactive ability ) , the cannabinoids in the marijuana material need to be activated . When THC is in it โ s natural plant form , it is actually called THC - A , and does not get us high or medicated until it is heated past a certain temperature for a determined length of time . During the heating process , a reaction called decarboxylation takes place and removes the - A ( carboxylic acid ) part of the THC chain . Once the carboxylic acid is removed , the decarboxylation process Heating The Mixture : Once the coconut oil and marijuana have been combined , it โ s time to let it bind together . Heat is our friend here . Over the next 2 hours or so , we will heat the marijuana and coconut oil and maintain a temperature of at least 170 ( f ) . This process will cause the cannabinoids in the marijuana material to melt into the oil infusing the 2 together . Spike the heat : Heating the mixture will bind the ingredients together , but we still need to make sure that decarboxylation takes place . What I like to do is make sure the oil / marijuana mix is heated up to 250 ( f ) at least once during the cooking process . Early into the heating process , I like to take the top portion of the double boiler off โ and place it directly onto a hot burner . Using a thermometer โ make sure the mixture does no go over 250 ( f ) . Once you reach 245 - Heat the marijuana and coconut oil together in the double boiler for 2 hours total time before removing from the heat . Allow the mixture to cool enough that you can touch the oil without getting burned . I like to let the coconut oil and marijuana cool to about 100 degrees before moving on to the next step . Strain the marijuana out of the coconut oil : Using a small wire - strainer and handkerchief , I pour the mixture through and into a bowl or large measuring cup . Using the handkerchief I wrap it around the ball of plant material and use my hands to wring every drop of marijuana - infused coconut oil out . Once you have squeezed every drop of infused oil out of the marijuana material , place the plant material aside for later use . You should now have a somewhat green looking coconut oil left . This oil is jam packed with the medicinal value of marijuana . If you go no further than this , you have a great marijuana - infused coconut oil that may be used topically , or mixed into your favorite recipe . If you keep going , we will turn this infused coconut oil into capsules for easy consumption . Making the Cannabis Capsules : Since you had 2 hours to kill while stirring the cannabis infused coconut oil , you should have been prepping for this final step . The final step is going to be where we actually put the infused oil into gelatin capsules . I take the infusion time to setup and load the Capsule Machine and have it ready for use . Open up the capsule making machine and place the top and bottom halves on a tray or plate ( so you do n โ t make a mess on your counter ) . Take 24 empty 00 - Sized gelcaps ( machine must be same size ) and begin opening them up one - by - one . Place the large half into the larger part of the machine , and place the shorter pieces in the shorter part of the machine . Repeat until machine is full of all 24 capsules . Fill your syringe with the slightly - warm , infused coconut - oil and very slowly begin pushing it out into the large sized portion of the capsules , again one - by - one . You should stop filling the capsules just before they are full , so that they do n โ t overfill and so that it allows room for expansion . ONLY FILL ONE SIDE OF THE CAPSULE . Leave the shorter halves empty . Once all the large sides of the capsules are filled , simply put the two pieces of the machine together and snap them in place ( check the instructions that came with the machine ) . Once they are snapped in place , you can pull the 2 halves of the machine apart and press the capsules out of the short side . Once the capsules have cooled to room temperature , the oil inside will soilidfy and the capsules are ready for storage and use . VIOLA โ You have just made cannabis infused coconut oil capsules ! A few more tips : * * The stronger the starting material โ the more potent the capsule . Self titrate starting with ONE capsule , increasing dosage the next day if desired results are not achieved . * * * You make increase the strength of the cannabis capsules by using different forms of cannabis . Infusing kief , hash , or extracts into the coconut oil instead of trim / bud will increase the dosage dramatically ! * * Drink a glass of milk when washing down in order to increase the effect ! * * Capsules may take an hour ( or longer ) to โ kick - in โ . Do not take additional doses until you are sure the first one has taken effect and you know the strength . * * The cannabis material that you strained out of the coconut oil in the previous step still has some psychoactive ability and medicinal properties to it . You can use this material to make topicals and other preparations for medicinal use . * * * Store in amber - glass bottles or storage jars away from direct light and heat for best storage . * * * * Over - consumption ( not to be confused with over - dose ) is possible whenever taking cannabis orally . This is usually due to the fact that they take so long to โ kick - in โ , causing the user to think they are not working , thus prompting them to take another dose . Please take extra precautions when taking marijuana orally โ until you are familiar with the effects and your own tolerance . * * * * If you have any sensitivity , or allergy to any of the ingredients above , please DO NOT USE THIS RECIPE . The same applies to anyone who may be negatively affected by a boost in energy and metabolism caused by the coconut oil . * * * Never operate a vehicle or heavy machinery while taking cannabis infused capsules .

http://cannabisconsumers.org/reports/drug_testing.php | Home About Us Who are Cannabis Consumers ? Take Our Survey Our Case for Equal Rights Take Action The Experience of Getting High Debating Marijuana Policy Talk to Your Kids About Pot Marijuana Drug War Facts Drug Testing Articles Offsite Links Contact Us ! Talking Points : Drug Testing is Job - Based Discrimination Drug testing does not protect public safety . It serves mainly to identify and ban cannabis consumers from the workforce , or sanction them at the workplace or schools . Drug Testing primarily targets people who use marijuana , as the other drugs which are tested dissipate very quickly . Marijuana may remain detectable for up to 90 days - - long after the effects are felt . Often people who have never done any drugs will fail a drug test as a result of false positives and inaccuracies within the testing industry itself . Drug testing has nothing to do with impairment and everything to do with discrimination and is a violation of our human rights . Potential ramifications of drug testing are loss of jobs or reputation , loss of benefits and pensions , loss of custody of children , denial of transplants , and revocation of probation or parole &emdash ; landing more people in jail ( thus , increasing the prison industrial system ) . The National Academy of Sciences formed the Committee on Drug Use in the Workplace - - a team of nationally recognized experts - - to study the effectiveness of drug testing . They spent three years collecting , studying and synthesizing every significant study on the impact of drug use in the workplace . It was published in book form in 1994 as Under the Influence : Drugs and the American Workforce . Much of the information in this report was derived from this study . Employers have relied on information provided by drug testing promoters who have an inherent conflict of interest on the topic . Drug Testing products and services are now a multi - billion dollar industry which rely on the magnification of the severity of drug - related problems in the workplace and extolling the benefits of drug testing as a solution . They market drug testing with the promise that they will improve productivity and profits . They use bogus studies to arrive at estimates of " costs of lost productivity . " The Research Triangle Institute researchers " found no According the American Management Association , only 8 percent of companies with drug testing programs had performed any cost - benefit analysis . The NAS stated , " the data โฆ do not provide clear evidence of the deleterious effects of drugs other than alcohol on safety and other job performance indicators . " Researchers found that workers testing positive at the time of hire were no more likely than workers testing negative to become involved in an accident . The NAS claimed , " Illicit drugs contribute little to the overall rate of industrial accidents . " This is because most workers who use illicit drugs never use them at work . And , when they do so , it is in a way that does not affect their work performance . In comparing the residual effect of occasional off - duty stimulant use , they found it to be no more profound than the effects that occur following " sleep deprivation in the absence of drug use . " Moderate use of illicit drugs by workers during off - duty hours was no more likely than moderate off - duty alcohol use to compromise workplace safety . Drug testing does not test impairment . As a result , drug tests mainly identify drug users who may have used a drug on the weekend , as they might use alcohol , and who are not under the influence of a drug while at work or when tested . It takes several hours for drug metabolites to appear in urine , so drug tests may miss drug users who are under the influence of drugs at the time the test is given . Using the Kaiser Permanente data , researchers found no significant differences between health care costs for marijuana users to non - users . Drug testing deters highly qualified workers from applying . They may be users who do not want to give up their use , or people who are opposed to giving up their privacy , or are civil libertarians . Many employers in high tech industries have discontinued drug testing programs as they limit their ability to hire qualified workers . Drug testing programs impact morale and job satisfaction finding urine collection to be " degrading and demeaning " and humiliating . At the time of collection , workers fill out a form to reveal personal information about medications they may be taking . This information can be used against them even for legally prescribed medications . Firms with pre - employment testing , compared with [ High tech ] firms with no drug testing at all , scored 16 percent lower on productivity measures . " Companies that relate to employees positively with a high degree of trust are able to obtain more effort and loyalty in return . " Alternatives to Drug Testing Rather than submit a person to drug testing , why not use the traditional method of checking references to find out about an potential employee ? Supervisors need to be trained to identify , confront , or refer impaired employees to Employee Assistance Programs or other intervention programs . Impairment testing not only detects people who are impaired by drugs and alcohol , but also by sleep deprivation stress , fatigue , emotional problems including anxiety , sickness or other health problems , over - the counter medications , prescription medications , or those who are otherwise not able to perform safely . Impairment due to illicit drugs is statistically much less likely than impairment from other factors . These tests , once administered , can improve safety far better than drug tests can . They are not discriminatory . Rather , they measure everyone equally by their performance Denying an addict employment through drug testing is also a sure way to keep him or her using drugs and alcohol ( making the addicts life more unbearable with jail time , monetary fines , criminal records , and reducing odds of improving life ) . There is a growing number of people who will suffer when they are falsely labeled drug users by the inaccuracies of drug testing . People will unjustly be denied a driver ' s license , evicted from their homes , and be denied their rights and government benefits Anybody being treated for depression , anxiety , heart disease , ulcers , insomnia , diabetes , or high blood pressure may be ' screened out ' and denied employment as a result of drug testing . This has nothing to do with marijuana use . It is related to the medical information gathered at the drug testing site . Contamination on glassware has been shown to cause a 3 to 5 percent false positive rate . The majority of labs do n ' t follow any guidelines Their accuracy rate is about 82 % . The bulk of errors could be attributed to inadequate personnel , poor management , broken chain of custody , faulty maintenance , and faulty transmissions of reports and records , rather than the tests themselves . No government or industry agency is responsible for monitoring the quality of work done at these labs . The false positive rate has been shown to vary widely from 0.8 to 60 % . Despite having a 4 - 34 % false positive rate , the EMIT has been the most widely used immunological assay for detection of drugs of abuse in urine . Back up tests are only required for federal employees . More sophisticated tests require more training of lab technicians . Inadequately trained techs cause more false positives . Most drugs , including cocaine and marijuana , bind and incorporate into the hair of African Americans 10 to 50 times greater than drugs are incorporated into the hair of Caucasians . Hair testing is extremely poor at identifying current drug use because the maximum amount of drug is deposited one to two months after drug use and is often not detectable until weeks after use . Hair can be contaminated by second - hand smoke . People have reported testing positive up to six months after use in hair testing ! This is unreasonable search and seizure , threatening the 4th amendment protections against such abuse . This treats people like they are guilty until proven innocent , reversing the presumption of innocence which is the basis of our democratic society . Drug testing also makes individuals lose all control over who has access to their confidential medical information . Marijuana tests positive 14 to 30 days after use . Discriminates against medical marijuana patients . If it is inaccurate and it does not test for impairment or performance , then what good is it ? If impairment is really a concern , there is a far less expensive , accurate , computerized , performance test available , which would test for that . Drug War Facts : A congressional committee estimated that the cost of each positive in governmental testing was $ 77,000 . Since drug tests test for marijuana , it may cause people to use harder drugs that go through the system faster ( like alcohol and LSD that are not tested ) Enployers may lose workers from false positives that could be attributed to common foods , over - the counter preparations , and prescription medications . In a famous drug testing study , employees who tested positive at Georgia Power had a higher promotion rate than the company average , and workers that tested positive only for marijuana were absent 30 % less often than the average . Th drug testing industry is comprised of manufacturers of equipment and chemicals , laboratories , medical review officers , consultants , and lobbyists . Insurance companies use " after accident " tests to deny people benefits . Despite the fact that alcohol is the most prevalent drug causing work related accidents and that alcohol addiction is much more costly to employers than all illicit drugs combined , the focus is on illicit drugs in the workplace . There is no differentiation between responsible use and abuse . People call us regularly , complaining that despite a commendable work record with years of responsible job performance , they are being fired and losing their pensions because of a drug test . This is not right . People are losing their jobs and pensions based on false positives . We know of a man who was sent back to prison for a year for eating a sandwich with poppy seed bread ( without the courtesy of a re - test ) which tested positive for opiates . Twenty years ago , the population was not subjected to this invasion of their privacy , and the workplace survived nicely . It is not necessary now . If an employer can not tell that someone is not performing their job , then they have no reason to test . The American people are supposed to live in a free country . We are not owned by our employers ( that went out with slavery ) or our schools , so we should not be subjected to this kind of " arbitrary interference " with our privacy . It is unconstitutional ! Just say " NO " to drug testing ! Questions and Answers about drug testing Q : Do n ' t employers have the right to expect their employees not to be high on drugs on the job ? A : Of course they do . Employers have the right to expect their employees not to be high , stoned , drunk , or asleep . Job performance is the bottom line : If you can not do the work , employers have a legitimate reason for firing you . But urine tests do not measure job performance . Q : If you do n ' t use drugs , you have nothing to hide - - so why object to testing ? A : Innocent people do have something to hide : their private life . The " right to be left alone " is , in the words of the late Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis , " the most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized men . " Analysis of a person ' s urine can disclose many details about that person ' s private life other than drug use . It can tell an employer whether an employee or job applicant is being treated for a heart condition , depression , epilepsy or diabetes . Urine tests are body searches , and they are an unprecedented invasion of privacy . The standard practice , in administering such tests , is to require employees to urinate in the presence of a witness to guard against specimen tampering . In the words of one judge , that is " an experience which even if courteously supervised can be humiliating and degrading . " Noted a federal judge , as he invalidated a drug - testing program for municipal fire - fighters , " Drug testing is a form of surveillance , albeit a technological one . " Q : Are drug tests reliable ? A : No , the drug screens used by most companies are not reliable . These tests yield false positive results at least 10 percent , and possibly as much as 30 percent , of the time . Experts concede that the tests are unreliable .

http://carbonfixated.com/carbon-fixation/ | Carbon Fixated Photosynthesising in a CO2 - enriched world Feed on Posts Comments Just how do you erase 100 years of warming ? Carbon Fixation Feb 15th , 2008 by Chris Carbon fixation is a process found in autotrophs ( organisms that produce their own food ) , usually driven by photosynthesis , whereby carbon dioxide is changed into organic materials . Carbon fixation can also be carried out by the process of calcification in marine , calcifying organisms such as Emiliania huxleyi The Calvin Cycle is the most common method of carbon fixation . In plants , there are three types of carbon fixation during photosynthesis : C3 โ a plant that uses the Calvin Cycle for the initial steps that incorporate CO2 into organic matter , forming a 3 - carbon compound as the first stable intermediate . Most broadleaf plants and plants in the temperate zones are C3 . C4 โ a plant that prefaces the Calvin Cycle with reactions that incorporate CO2 into 4 - carbon compound . C4 plants have a distinctive leaf anatomy . This pathway is found mostly in hot regions with intense sunlight . Tropical grasses , such as sugar cane and maize are C4 plants , but there are many broadleaf plants that are C4 . CAM โ plant that uses Crassulacean acid metabolism as an adaptation for arid conditions . CO2 entering the stomata during the night is converted into organic acids , which release CO2 for the Calvin Cycle during the day , when the stomate is closed . The jade plant ( Crassula ovata ) and Cactus species are typical of CAM plants . { From wikipedia Posted in Plants 12 Responses to โ Carbon Fixation โ dwall says : November 24 , 2009 at 15 : 08 Mitigating the impact of the carbon cycle over time is an admirable goal . Cap and trade is not the only way to accomplish the goal . Cap and trade will make more green millionaires , like Gore , and give more government control over our lives . We will not be leaving OIL , coal , NG for many years . Substitutes are not available without new technology . The Green revolution / AGW / Sustainability are globally expensive frauds and heavily subsidized by future taxpayers and are coming to an end soon . Van Jones , Gore , and friends will be sent back to productive endeavors , if they have ever had a job . Will be replaced by GREEN II based on sound economic concepts and rational use of physics . The extent of lib corruption of our University System is displayed in their complicity in the fraud . music online logo cat says : April 30 , 2014 at 08 : 49 What โ s up , I would like to subscribe foor this weblog to obtain most recent updates , therefore where can i doo it pease help . my web page ; music online logo cat http : / / www . sbnation . com / users / andyan56 August 9 , 2014 at 00 : 09 Hi friends , pleasant post and nice arguments commented here , I am in fact enjoying by these .

http://cardissection.com/2018-jeep-grand-cherokee/ | 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Redesign , Price 04 / 27 / 2017 UPDATE : 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is finally here . For the regular installment of this premium SUV , we will just have to wait for some more time . Now , for the time being , let โ s take a look at what this limited Trackhawk edition has to offer . First , let โ s run trough most relevant facts tied to this SUV . It is first ever Hellcat - powered SUV ; it has a Supercharged , 6.2 - liter V - 8 engine capable of delivering 707hp ; Move on , and now we have it in front of us . At the 2017 New York Auto Show 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk was finally presented . By just looking at it , it does not differ too much from standard Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT . But , if you look under the hood you will know that this SUV was elevated to the level of Charger and Challenger Hellcat models . As a consequence of it becoming a โ Hellcat โ model , it is now able to achieve the speed of 60mph in 3 , 5 Source : netcarshow . com On the outside , if you do n โ t pay attention you will get an impression that you are looking at a regular SRT Grand Cherokee like we already mentioned . The places where you should spot the difference are the brake calipers which are painted in yellow , exhaust pipes at the back are quad - designed , it has one of a kind 20 - inch wheels , which if you prefer it come in matte - black color made of aluminum alloy . At the front , you will notice that it lacks the fog lights Inside the cabin , there is nothing extraordinary that would point out that this is a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk . The SUV comes with all of the premium feats that regular SRT model has and that includes Nappa leather details , carbon fiber pieces across the cabin and some chrome - blacked details . Seat inserts are made of Alcantara , and both front and rear seats are heated and ventilated . If you want that โ special โ feeling , Jeep is offering quite a few upgrades . Some of the most notable include Laguna premium leather In the end , we come to the real deal . Under the bonnet of 2018 Trackhawk Grand Cherokee you will find , as we stated at the beginning , a supercharged 6.2 - liter V - 8 shared with Dodge Charger and Challenger . Regarding power it deliverers the same 707hp but it terms of torque it goes a bit down at 645 lb - ft of torque . Transmission offered with this unit is an eight - speed automatic which transfers the power to all wheels . This dispersion of power does wonders to the acceleration of this Source : netcarshow . com The 2018 Trackhawk offers four drive modes , and depending on the mode of your selection the power will be shared differently . Choose Snow mode and the power will go 50 / 50 to both front and rear wheels . Opt for Auto mode , and 40 % goes up front while the 60 % is transferred to the rear wheels . In the end regardless if you pick Sport or Track the power will go 30 % to the front wheels and 70 % to the rear wheels . Also Read : 2019 Jeep Wrangler Pickup Price In order to decrease acceleration or to stop the vehicle in its track , you will have to reach for Brembo brakes . They come with 15.75 - inch rotors and six - piston caliper in the front , and four - piston calipers and 13.73 - inch rotors at the back . From safety features , we would like to single out adaptive cruise control with full - stop capability , forward - collision warning system , automatic emergency braking , a lane - departure warning system , a blind - spot alert system , and a rear cross - traffic alert system . 03 / 24 / 2017 UPDATE : Spy photos of new Grand Cherokee have been available for some time now , but today , for the first time we have a picture of what this SUV hides under the bonnet . The changes on the design part of this vehicle were more than obvious , but there was no chance of telling whether it โ s regular Cherokee , an SRT version or new rumored Trackhawk which fill feature a Hellcat engine . Now , after seeing this image , we know it for sure . The model spied all Mike Manley , the CEO of Jeep company , stated that you should expect the performance version of new Cherokee before the year ends and guess he intends to keep his word . Same as us , you can see that FCA โ s regular 6.2 - liter V8 unit has a supercharger positioned above it . This feature is from before available on Hellish models of Challenger and Charger . Another thing in common with these two model is 707 hp which will this engine be able to produce on Grand Cherokee SUV same as on two ponies car 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk Engine โ Source : autoblog . com There are some differences on the exterior of the model recently spied and those who were pictured earlier . For example , the fog lights that were previously positioned on the lower part of the grille are gone now , and the fascia on the rear now holds more aggressive stance . Some small details like this might be just that which will make the difference between regular and Trackhawk models ( in addition to 707hp ) . The exhaust pipes are now quad type , and as such were n โ t present on earlier prototypes . Also Read : 2018 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Price , Interior , Release date With these new photos and details we are in high spirits , and full of hope that 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee is going to be in the showrooms in not so distant future . 08 / 29 / 2016 Review : The all - new 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee is one mean machine , that will shake the ground upon its arrival . The new muscular looks and , especially , the supercar - level engine beneath the hood , that is rumored to be shared with the Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat models , an over 700 horsepower beast , that will be hardly to match by the rivals . The new model will make improvements over the previous on many fields . It will be lighter , with the extensive use of light - weight materials , it will have an improved all - wheel drive system capable of handling the vast power coming from the engine and , of course , the looks , as the designers truly outdone themselves , making the new Cherokee look sharp , muscular , put in one word โ stunning . We surely ca n โ t wait to see it on the streets , and according to the officials , we ngine and Specs As we have already mentioned , the new Jeep Grand Cherokee will have a beast hidden under its hood , but other than that , it will still have an option for mortals like us in a form of the base engine . Speaking of it , it will be a 3.6 - liter turbocharged flex - fuel engine , capable of outputting 290 horsepower , at 6400 rpm , with a maximum torque output of 260 pounds - feet , at 4800 rpm . The engine will have six cylinders positioned in V configuration , with 24 valves . The model will have a four - wheel independent suspension and a front and rear stabilizer bars . As far as the fuel economy is concerned , the new Grand Cherokee wo n โ t disappoint even considering he near 300 horsepower engine , as the EPA estimated fuel economy ratings are 19 miles per gallon in the city and 26 miles per gallon on the highway . The total range in the city is set at 467 miles per fuel tank , while on the highway that number reaches 640 miles per fuel tank . The fuel tank capacity is 24.6 gallons . The other , far more powerful engine will most likely be the version found in the SRT Hellcat , the 6.2 - liter Hellcat turbocharged V8 , capable of delivering 707 horsepower . We must admit that no one has ever put such a beast under the hood of an SUV , so we โ re really looking forward to see its performance in the Grand Cherokee model . SRT Charger Hellcat Engine 2018 Grand Cherokee Redesign The 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee will really look stunning . Design elements , such as small and thin headlights , large front bumper with single long air intake opening and no side air intakes , makes the new Grand Cherokee look more muscular and powerful than ever . On the inside , the new Grand Cherokee will be spacious and comfortable and be able to accommodate passengers of all sizes . Features on the inside include cruise control , electric power steering , front and read cup holders , front and rear door pockets , front seatback storage , overhead 2018 Jeep Renegade Review , Price & Release date 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit Interior 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Release date At first , rumors suggested that the new generation of Grand Cherokee is going to debut at 2017 NAIAS which was held in January . This date came and went by , but Jeep โ s premium SUV did n โ t have its introduction . Latest information from sources close to companies headquarters suggests that the model is going to debut in the third quarter of this year . The first model that will see the light of day is the performance installment called Trackhawk . Shortly after that , we should see Cherokees regular models from base to premium trim coming our way . The Long awaited 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee which will come as a redesigned model will come with a price of $ 31,000 for a base model and $ 75,000 for a performance Trackhawk . Competitors Grand Cherokee was a vehicle which carried Jeep company trough some hard times and while doing that it became one of the most sought - after models on the market . Nonetheless , it got old and with a new version of Cherokee Toledo - based company wants to take the leading role in the segment once again . To do that it will have to be better than the likes of Dodge Durango , Ford Edge , Kia Sorrento , Hyundai Santa Fe Sport , Nissan Murano , and Volkswagen Touareg .

http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/27/12/2990/ | Brief Report Effects of Coffee Consumption on Fasting Blood Glucose and Insulin Concentrations Randomized controlled trials in healthy volunteers Rob M . van Dam , PHD 1 , Wilrike J . Pasman , PHD 2 and Petra Verhoef 34 + Author Affiliations Address correspondence and reprint requests to Dr . R.M. van Dam , Department of Nutrition and Health , Faculty of Earth and Life Sciences , Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam , de Boelelaan 1085 , 1081 HV Amsterdam , Netherlands . E - mail : rob . van . dam @ falw . vu . nl Diabetes Care 2004 Dec ; 27 ( 12 ) : 2990 2992 . https : / / doi . org / 10.2337 / diacare . 27 . 12 . 2990 Previous Next Article Figures & Tables Info & Metrics PDF Randomized controlled trials in healthy volunteers Higher habitual coffee consumption was associated with higher insulin sensitivity ( 1 ) and a lower risk for type 2 diabetes ( 2 6 ) in diverse populations . In contrast , short - term metabolic studies showed that caffeine intake can acutely lower insulin sensitivity ( 7 9 ) and increase glucose concentrations ( 10 15 ) . Randomized intervention studies are needed to examine whether tolerance to these acute effects develops after longer - term consumption ( 16 ) . We therefore examined the effects of coffee and caffeine on fasting blood concentrations of glucose and insulin over 2 โ 4 weeks in two crossover studies in healthy volunteers . RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The studies were approved by the TNO Nutrition and Food Research Medical Ethics Committee , and all participants gave informed consent . The trials were originally designed to study the effects of coffee and caffeine on plasma concentrations of homocysteine , and the study designs have been reported in detail previously ( 17 18 ) . Participants were regular coffee consumers ( more than five cups / day ) and did not have known diabetes . The first study was a 4 - week crossover study that compared the effects of regular paper - filtered coffee consumption with that of coffee abstinence . A total of 40 volunteers used 1 l of coffee ( 70 g coffee grounds ) for 4 weeks and abstained from coffee for 4 weeks in random order . Fourteen participants did not complete the trial because of nausea and restlessness ( n = 7 ) , possible susceptibility to adverse effects of caffeine intake ( n = 3 ) , or reasons unrelated to treatment ( = 4 ) . Thus , 26 participants were included in the analysis . The second study had a Latin - square design with three treatments given in random order for 2 weeks each : caffeine ( a total of 870 mg in six capsules ) , regular paper - filtered coffee ( 52 g ground coffee / day in 0.9 l ) , and placebo ( six capsules containing cellulose ) . Of the 54 volunteers , 6 subjects withdrew because of severe headaches ( = 2 ) , study - related illness ( = 1 ) , or reasons unrelated to treatment ( = 3 ) . For the current analyses , we excluded participants because of missing blood samples ( = 1 ) , not completing the whole caffeine intervention ( = 1 ) , or who were clear outliers for an insulin concentration ( = 1 ) . Thus , 45 subjects were included in the analysis . Caffeine - containing products ( other than those provided ) were prohibited during the entire trial . Venous blood samples were collected after an overnight fast . Plasma glucose concentrations were measured using the glucose hexokinase method . Serum insulin concentrations were measured using an immunoradiometric assay ( Medgenix Biosource Diagnostics , Fleuris , Belgium ) . In study 1 , treatment responses were compared using paired t tests . In study 2 , we tested for overall treatment effects using ANOVA . All reported P values were two sided , and P values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant . RESULTS Study 1 Of the participants that completed the study , 62 % were women , mean ( ยฑ SD ) age was 37 ยฑ 12 years , and mean BMI was 23 ยฑ 3 kg / m 2 . After 2 weeks , coffee consumption tended to lead to higher fasting glucose concentrations , but no appreciable effect was observed after 4 weeks ( Table 1 ) . Fasting insulin concentrations , measured only after 4 weeks , were higher after the coffee period than after the no coffee period ( Table 1 ) . Tests for carry - over effects did not indicate that these existed ( insulin : = 0.79 ; glucose : = 0.27 ) . Study 2 Of the participants that completed the study , 56 % were women , mean age was 40 ยฑ 14 years , and mean BMI was 24 ยฑ 3 kg / m . Fasting glucose concentrations were similar after the caffeine , coffee , and placebo period ( ) . Compared with the placebo period , fasting insulin concentrations tended to be higher after the coffee and caffeine periods ( ) . CONCLUSIONS We found that high coffee consumption for 4 weeks increased fasting insulin concentrations compared with coffee abstinence . Consumption of somewhat weaker coffee and caffeine intake were nonsignificantly associated with higher fasting insulin concentrations . No substantial effects of coffee or caffeine on fasting glucose concentrations were observed . The increased fasting insulin concentration after high coffee consumption in our study probably reflects decreased insulin sensitivity . In short - term metabolic studies , caffeine intake acutely lowered insulin sensitivity over 100 โ 180 min ( 7 9 ) . In a study of 5 days of caffeine intake , complete tolerance to the effects of caffeine on fasting glucose concentrations developed ( 19 ) , but effects on norepinephrine and free fatty acid concentrations partly remained for the high - dose caffeine treatment . Thus , effects of high amounts of caffeine on catecholamines and free fatty acids may have contributed to a decrease in insulin sensitivity in our studies . However , we can not completely exclude the possibility that the elevated insulin concentrations after coffee consumption were due to higher insulin secretion ( 20 ) or to reduced hepatic insulin clearance as a result of increased free fatty acid concentrations ( 21 ) . Our findings seem to be at variance with the inverse association between coffee consumption and risk for type 2 diabetes that has been observed in cohort studies ( 6 ) . Several factors may contribute to this discrepancy . First , the results of cohort studies may reflect the effects of decades of regular coffee consumption , whereas the present study compared 2 โ 4 weeks of coffee consumption with 2 โ 4 weeks of coffee abstinence . Second , we can not exclude the possibility that the rapid transition to high coffee consumption ( equivalent to โผ 13 conventional cups of coffee in study 1 ) in our studies had detrimental effects on insulin sensitivity . For example , experienced psychological stress may have lowered insulin sensitivity through In conclusion , the present results indicate that tolerance to the adverse effects of high coffee consumption on insulin - glucose homeostasis does not develop within a 4 - week period . This stresses that it is premature to advocate high coffee consumption as a means to lower risk for type 2 diabetes . Long - term trials of coffee consumption that include detailed measures of insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism are warranted to elucidate the apparent discrepancy with studies that observed an inverse association between habitual coffee consumption and risk for type 2 diabetes .

The present study was undertaken to determine whether quantitative measurement of a ketone body anion could be used to diagnose DKA . RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS โ A retrospective review of records from hospitalized diabetic patients was undertaken to determine the concentration of serum ฮฒ - hydroxybutyrate ( ฮฒOHB ) that corresponds to a HCO level of 18 mEq / l , the threshold value for diagnosis in recently published consensus criteria . Simultaneous admission ฮฒOHB and HCO values were recorded from 466 encounters , 129 in children and 337 in adults . RESULTS โ A HCO level of 18 mEq / l corresponded with ฮฒOHB levels of 3.0 and 3.8 mmol / l in children and adults , respectively . With the use of these threshold ฮฒOHB values to define DKA , there was substantial discordance ( โผ โฅ 20 % ) between ฮฒOHB and conventional diagnostic criteria using HCO , pH , and glucose . In patients with DKA , there was no correlation between HCO and glucose levels on admission and a significant but weak correlation between ฮฒOHB and glucose levels ( P < 0.001 ) . CONCLUSIONS โ Where available , serum ฮฒOHB levels โฅ 3.0 and โฅ 3.8 mmol / l in children and adults , respectively , in the presence of uncontrolled diabetes can be used to diagnose DKA and may be superior to the serum HCO level for that purpose . The marked variability in the relationship between ฮฒOHB and HCO is probably due to the presence of other acid - base disturbances , especially hyperchloremic , nonanion gap acidosis . AcAc , acetoacetate ฮฒOHB , ฮฒ - hydroxybutyrate DKA , diabetic ketoacidosis HCO3 , bicarbonate HHS , hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome POC , point - of - care ROC , receiver operating characteristic Recently published consensus criteria for diagnosing diabetic ketoacidosis ( DKA ) include a serum bicarbonate ( HCO ) level โค 18 mEq / l , pH โค 7.30 , the presence of ketonuria / ketonemia , an anion gap > 10 mEq / l , and a plasma glucose concentration > 250 mg / dl ( 13.9 mmol / l ) ( ) . The development of a consensus statement represents an advance in view of the divergence of opinion that has existed concerning what the standards for diagnosis of DKA should be ( 2 ) . However , these diagnostic criteria have limitations . Anion gap , HCO , and pH are relatively nonspecific for DKA because they can be affected by the degree of respiratory compensation or the presence of a separate acid - base disturbance . Ketonuria and ketonemia are usually determined with the nitroprusside assay , which detects acetoacetate ( AcAc ) but not the most abundant ketone body , ฮฒ - hydroxybutyrate ( ฮฒOHB ) ( ) . Moreover , the measurement is not quantitative ( 4 ) . Ketone body anion concentrations ( i.e. , AcAc and ฮฒOHB ) , on the other hand , directly reflect the rate of ketone body production ( 5 ) , which is accompanied by equimolar production of hydrogen ions ( 6 ) . The present study was undertaken to investigate how a laboratory - based measurement of serum ฮฒOHB might be used as part of simplified diagnostic criteria for the diagnosis of DKA . RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS โ We retrieved electronic medical records data from Mayo Clinic Rochester patients from January 1994 through October 2006 according to a protocol approved by the Mayo Institutional Review Board . The data were retrieved by ICD - 9 codes ( 250.12 and 250.13 ) and for simultaneous measurements of ฮฒOHB and HCO . A total of 545 encounters were initially identified . Age , type of diabetes ( 1 or 2 ) , and admission blood tests , including measurements of glucose , ฮฒOHB , HCO , pH , and lactate were recorded if available . Serum ฮฒOHB was measured on the P Module of a Roche Modular Analytics system , using reagent provided by Roche Diagnostics ( Indianapolis , IN ) . The coefficient of variation ranged from 4 % ( at levels of 1 mmol / l ) to < 1.5 % ( at levels > 4 mmol / l ) . The discharge summary or admission note was used to determine type of diabetes . In each encounter , the temporal relationship between blood tests and initiation of insulin therapy was noted . Encounters in which serum glucose , ฮฒOHB , or HCO were either not available at all or were obtained after initiation of therapy were excluded . ฮฒOHB and HCO were compared using regression analysis to determine the ฮฒOHB value that corresponded with a serum HCO level of 18 mEq / l . Using that ฮฒOHB value to define DKA , data were then analyzed to assess the degree of diagnostic discordance between ฮฒOHB and HCO . ฮฒOHB values corresponding to HCO levels of 15 and 10 mEq / l , values used to define moderate and severe DKA , respectively ( ) , were also determined by regression analysis . Because of known differences in buffering capacity related to age ( 7 ) , data from children ( < 16 years of age ) and adults ( โฅ 16 years of age ) were analyzed separately as well as in aggregate . Sensitivity and specificity for serum HCO values were addressed through receiver operating characteristic ( ROC ) analysis ( 8 ) . The area under the ROC curve summarizes the accuracy of classification . Data are expressed as means ยฑ SEM . RESULTS โ A total of 466 encounters in 304 patients met the inclusion criteria for the study and were analyzed . Twenty - eight percent of the encounters occurred in patients aged < 16 years . The mean ages of the children and adults were 10.8 ยฑ 0.4 and 33.2 ยฑ 1.1 years , respectively . In 99 of the episodes , the hospitalization was the occasion for a new diagnosis of diabetes . The relationship between HCO and ฮฒOHB was curvilinear , and the best fit was obtained with a polynomial regression in each instance . When children and adults were analyzed separately , the ฮฒOHB values that corresponded with a HCO value of 18 mEq / l were 3.0 and 3.8 mmol / l , respectively , with a strong negative association ( Fig . 1 ) . The corresponding ฮฒOHB values for a HCO level of 15 mEq / l were 4.4 and 5.1 mmol / l , whereas the corresponding ฮฒOHB values for a HCO level of 10 mEq / l were 7.7 and 8.9 mmol / l , respectively . Using ฮฒOHB values โฅ 3.0 mmol / l in children and โฅ 3.8 mmol / l in adults to define DKA , 248 episodes of DKA in 200 patients were identified . There were 218 encounters in 147 patients with lower ฮฒOHB values ( < 3.0 mmol / l in children and < 3.8 mmol / l in adults ) ( without DKA ) . Table 1 shows the frequency of type 2 diabetes , together with concentrations of ฮฒOHB , HCO , glucose , pH , and lactate in patients with and without DKA thus defined . As can be seen , pH and lactate data were available for only a minority ( โผ 28 % ) of patients . Among those who had lactate measured , lactate was > 4 mmol / l in โผ 12 % of encounters ( n = 7 each among patients with and without DKA ) . The admission glucose concentration was โค 13.9 mmol / l in โผ 8 % of both children and adults with DKA . The pH was > 7.30 in 7 % of children and 20 % of adults with DKA and โค 7.30 in 25 % of children and 11 % of adults without DKA . The HCO level was > 18 mEq / l in 7 % of children and 17 % of adults with DKA , whereas it was โค 18 mEq / l in 14 % of children and 16 % of adults without DKA . There was diagnostic discordance between the ฮฒOHB cutoff and at least one of the conventional diagnostic criteria ( HCO , pH , or glucose ) in 15 % of children and 27 % of adults with DKA . Table 2 shows the sensitivity and specificity of serum HCO when it was used to diagnose DKA defined by the ฮฒOHB criteria , based on ROC analysis . The areas under the ROC were 0.953 and 0.909 in children and adults , respectively . The relationship between glucose level and acidosis in DKA encounters was examined by regression analysis , using both HCO and ฮฒOHB as an index of severity of acidosis . Because the analysis showed no difference between children and adults , the results were combined . There was no correlation between HCO and glucose ( Fig . 2 upper panel ) . In contrast , there was a significant correlation between ฮฒOHB and glucose , although it was rather weak ( Fig . 2 lower panel ) . These latter two observations were essentially identical when DKA was defined by HCO instead of by ฮฒOHB ( not shown ) . Glucose concentrations were 26.4 ยฑ 0.8 and 23.9 ยฑ 1.4 mmol / l in patients with HCO levels of โค 15 and 16 โ 18 mEq / l , respectively ( NS ) . Glucose levels were > 33.3 mmol / l in 23 and 17 % of patients in the two groups ( not shown ) . CONCLUSIONS โ The results of the present study demonstrate that in hospitalized patients with diabetes , a serum HCO level of 18 mEq / l corresponds with serum ฮฒOHB levels of 3.0 mmol / l in children and 3.8 mmol / l in adults . They also indicate that when these ฮฒOHB levels are used for the diagnosis of DKA , there is discordance with conventional criteria . In the past , a variety of diagnostic criteria have been used for DKA , including total ketone body anion ( AcAc + ฮฒOHB ) concentrations of 3 mmol / l ( 9 ) or 5 mmol / l ( 10 ) , pH values < 7.37 ( 11 ) or < 7.20 ( 12 ) , and serum HCO levels of 18 mEq / l ( 13 ) or 15 mEq / l ( 14 ) . Considering this divergence of opinion , the recently published consensus criteria ( ) are a positive development . However , the criteria have limitations . Whereas confirmation of ketonemia / ketonuria may be diagnostically useful in the absence of a ketone body anion measurement such as ฮฒOHB , it provides only subjective , qualitative information ( ) . In a position statement that is somewhat contradictory to the consensus criteria , the American Diabetes Association stated that urine ketone tests are not reliable for diagnosing DKA and that measurement of ฮฒOHB in blood is preferred , although no mention was made of specific ฮฒOHB levels ( 15 ) . Perhaps the most widely used test for defining DKA , at least in research studies , has been the serum HCO value . The HCO value has the advantage of being less susceptible than pH to abrupt changes in ventilation , but like pH it is nonspecific . Baseline HCO values before the onset of DKA may vary because of preexisting acid - base disturbances , including chronic renal disease with acidosis ( low baseline HCO value ) and chronic respiratory acidosis ( high baseline HCO value ) . Acute disturbances can also contribute to changes in HCO levels . Nausea and vomiting are common in patients who present with DKA and can result in metabolic alkalosis consequent to loss of [ H + ] ( 16 ) . An acute accumulation of other organic anions such as lactate can also contribute to changes in HCO values . The variability in the relationship between ฮฒOHB and HCO values found in the present study is consistent with contributions from all of these factors . AcAc , as an unmeasured anion that is increased in DKA , is a potential contributor to this variability . The average ฮฒOHB - to - AcAc ratio in DKA has been reported to be 3.0 : 1 to 3.2 : 1 ( 17 18 ) . However , there have been case reports of โ nitroprusside - negative โ patients with ratios > 7 : 1 ( ) . In a review of the literature , we found seven studies in which individual ฮฒOHB and AcAc concentrations were available in 61 patients with DKA . In these seven studies , the mean ฮฒOHB - to - AcAc ratio was 3.0 : 1 with a coefficient of variation of 30 % ( see details in the online appendix available at http : / / dx . doi . org / 10.2337 / dc07 - 1683 ) . This finding suggests that differences in AcAc concentrations contribute little to the observed variability in the relationship between ฮฒOHB and HCO levels in the present study and that factors such as concurrent lactic acidosis ( 19 ) and especially hyperchloremic nonanion gap acidosis ( 20 ) are more likely to be responsible . Previous studies have shown that children have lower extracellular buffering capacity than adults ( 7 ) . It is unclear whether this is due to chronic respiratory alkalosis , an acidification defect due to renal immaturity , or perhaps other factors . Nonetheless , our findings indicate that for a given degree of hyperketonemia in DKA , children can be expected to have more severe acidemia than adults . For this reason , it seems appropriate to apply a different diagnostic standard for DKA in children than in adults . In fact , a lower total ketone body anion concentration ( 3 mmol / l ) has been suggested for a diagnosis of DKA in 9 ) than that proposed for adults ( 5 mmol / l ) ( 10 The fact that nonspecific tests of acid - base status such as pH and HCO are central to the diagnosis of DKA may relate to their availability . For many years , ฮฒOHB was a research test that was not practical for clinical use . However , the widespread use of open - channel automated chemistry analyzers ( 21 ) makes it possible for virtually any laboratory to perform tests for ฮฒOHB levels rapidly . Point - of - care ( POC ) ฮฒOHB testing has recently received increased attention , but the procedure has limited precision above concentration of 2.5 โ 3.0 mmol / l ( 22 ) . For this reason , we believe that POC methods can be useful for self - monitoring ( and possibly the prevention of DKA ) , but that a laboratory - based test would be preferable for diagnostic purposes until a POC method with improved precision and accuracy is available . Other investigators and the World Health Organization have taken a similar position on POC glucose testing ( 23 A limitation of our study is that it is retrospective . Furthermore , it does not provide actual proof that ฮฒOHB is superior to HCO for the diagnosis of DKA . Rather , such a conclusion must be arrived at on theoretical grounds . Fulop et al . ( 21 ) compared ฮฒOHB to both serum CO content and anion gap in 64 DKA encounters and concluded that the correlations were too weak for ฮฒOHB to be useful to assess the severity of ketoacidosis . This conclusion is based on the assumption that HCO is the โ gold standard โ for diagnosing DKA , however . If ฮฒOHB were the gold standard , imperfections in the relationship between ฮฒOHB and measures of metabolic acidosis such as HCO ( whether ฮฒOHB explains 36 % of the variability in HCO as Fulop et al . reported or โผ 64 % as we found ) would only attest to the nonspecificity of HCO for DKA . Adrogue et al . ( 20 ) reported that half or more of patients presenting with DKA had a significant hyperchloremic , nonanion gap acidosis attributable to renal loss of potential HCO in the form of ketonuria , separate from the anion gap acidosis resulting from overproduction and accumulation of ketone bodies ( ) . This indicates that a process other than ketoacidosis contributes to depression of serum HCO in patients with DKA and may be a major contributor to the diagnostic discordance between ฮฒOHB and HCO that we observed . Moreover , there is no evidence to suggest that hyperchloremic acidosis contributes to morbidity and mortality in DKA ; in fact , patients with DKA and hyperchloremic acidosis have less dehydration and therefore presumably less hyperosmolality , conditions that are both thought to contribute to mortality ( 12 24 ) , than individuals with โ pure โ ketoacidosis ( We found that when lactate concentrations were measured in patients with DKA , they were > 4 mmol / l in โผ 12 % of patients . Lactic acidosis has been defined as a lactate concentration โฅ 4 mmol / l ( 25 ) or โฅ 5 mmol / l ( 26 ) ; using the latter definition , Nattrass and Alberti ( 19 ) found lactic acidosis in 15 % of patients with DKA . Because of this finding and because elevated lactate concentrations appear to portend a poor prognosis ( 27 ) , we believe measurement of lactate should be performed routinely on admission in patients with DKA . In the present study , there was no correlation between HCO and glucose in patients with DKA as reported previously ( ) , a further reflection of the nonspecificity of HCO for DKA . In contrast , there was a significant but quite weak correlation between ฮฒOHB and glucose . The weakness of the correlation is consistent with uncoupling between hepatic production of ketone bodies and glucose . It has been known for many years that hyperglycemia may be surprisingly mild in DKA ( 28 ) , and glucose production rates can be near normal ( 29 ) ; the therapeutic implications of this are obvious and have been discussed ( ) . We also found no difference in the severity of hyperglycemia or incidence of hyperosmolarity ( glucose concentration > 13.3 mmol / l ) in patients with mild DKA ( HCO level of 16 โ 18 mEq / l ) ( ) and patients with moderate or severe DKA ( HCO level of < 16 mEq / l ) . This result indicates that the concept of a finite overlap between DKA and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome ( HHS ) ( defined as a glucose concentration of > 13.3 mmol / l and including patients with HCO levels in the 16 โ 18 mEq / l range ) ( ) may be somewhat artificial , because patients with DKA with and without HHS are equally hyperglycemic . In other words , DKA can present with or without hyperosmolality irrespective of the severity of acidosis , and HHS can present with or without DKA . In summary , we suggest that DKA can be defined as uncontrolled diabetes accompanied by a ฮฒOHB level โฅ 3.0 mmol / l in children and โฅ 3.8 mmol / l in adults . Certainly , any diagnostic criterion for DKA is arbitrary . We do not suggest that patients with levels below such an arbitrary cut point for diagnosis would automatically be managed differently than those with levels above it . The use of such a cut point does not supersede clinical judgment , but it does in our view impose additional , and desirable , diagnostic rigor . level of 18 mEq / l but also , assuming a ฮฒOHB - to - AcAc ratio of 3.0 : 1 ( see above ) , corresponds almost exactly to the 5 mmol / l total ketone body anion concentration threshold suggested by Alberti and Hockaday ( ) . This definition of DKA is more precise and quantitative than previous criteria for a diagnosis of DKA . However , it is not practical to make the ฮฒOHB test available with a rapid turnaround unless a hospital has a relatively large volume of patients with DKA . Further evaluation of its use in prospective studies , in combination with other diagnostic criteria , is needed .

This scenario may possibly be a consequence of the persisting misconception that this population is seldom exposed to severe hypoglycemia , defined as any episode that requires external assistance for recovery , whereas self - treated events are classified as โ 1 ) . This myth was firmly repudiated by the findings of the large prospective study by the U.K. Hypoglycemia Study Group ( 2 ) , which demonstrated that severe hypoglycemia is a common problem in insulin - treated type 2 diabetes and that the incidence increases with duration of insulin therapy . However , evidence for CV morbidity associated with hypoglycemia has been predominantly hypothetical and anecdotal ( 3 ) . The potential dangers of intensive treatment regimens and strict glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes who have CV disease ( CVD ) have now been highlighted by the disconcerting outcomes of recent studies ( 4 6 ) , in which hypoglycemia was implicated in the excess mortality that was observed in some of these trials . It is therefore timely to review the effects of hypoglycemia on the CV system , how this major metabolic stress could precipitate major vascular events such as myocardial infarction and stroke , and its potential role in these recent clinical studies . PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF HYPOGLYCEMIA In the adult human , acute hypoglycemia causes pronounced physiological responses as a consequence of autonomic activation , principally of the sympatho - adrenal system , and results in end - organ stimulation and a profuse release of epinephrine ( adrenaline ) . This profound autonomic stimulus provokes hemodynamic changes , the important consequences of which are to maintain the supply of glucose to the brain and promote the hepatic production of glucose . Blood flow is therefore increased to the myocardium , the splanchnic circulation ( to provide precursors of gluconeogenesis to the liver ) , and the brain 7 ) . The workload of the heart is therefore temporarily but markedly increased . This transient cardiac stress is unlikely to be of serious functional importance in healthy young people who have a normal CV system , but may have dangerous consequences in many older people with diabetes , especially individuals with type 2 diabetes , many of whom have coronary heart disease . In nondiabetic people , the arteries become more elastic during acute hypoglycemia with a decline in arterial wall stiffness , but in people with type 1 diabetes of > 15 years โ duration , arterial wall stiffness per se is greater and arteries are less elastic in response to hypoglycemia , manifesting in a lesser fall in central arterial pressure ( 8 ) . Normal elasticity of the arterial wall ensures that the reflected pressure wave from the high - pressure arterioles , generated during each myocardial contraction , returns to the heart during early diastole , so enhancing coronary arterial perfusion , which occurs mainly during diastole . However , progressive stiffening of the arterial walls ( as occurs in most people with longstanding diabetes ) accelerates the return of the reflected wave causing its earlier arrival during late systole . This pathophysiological effect may interfere with coronary arterial perfusion and promote myocardial ischemia . Hypoglycemia has long been known to affect the electrocardiogram ( ECG ) ( 9 ) , causing ST wave changes with lengthening of the QT interval ( 10 ) and cardiac repolarization ( 11 ) . Both experimentally induced and spontaneous clinical hypoglycemic episodes prolong cardiac repolarization , the process whereby the heart prepares for coordinated contraction during diastole and where abnormalities in other conditions can increase the risk of cardiac arrhythmias . These changes are reflected by changes in the T wave of the electrocardiogram ( Fig . 1 ) . Hypoglycemia leads to reduction in its amplitude with flattening and lengthening of the T wave ( ) , which is quantified by measuring the length of the QT interval ( mathematically corrected for the prevailing heart rate [ QTc ] ) . Electrophysiological changes are related to hypokalemia , which is a consequence of the profuse secretion of catecholamines . These changes may increase the risk of cardiac arrhythmia ; various abnormal heart rhythms , including ventricular tachycardia and atrial fibrillation , have been reported during hypoglycemia . This phenomenon and its contribution to causing sudden death after hypoglycemia are discussed in detail below .

The increased sympathetic activity and concurrent secretion during hypoglycemia of other hormones and peptides such as the potent vasoconstrictor , endothelin , also have pronounced effects on intravascular hemorheology , coagulability , and viscosity . Increased plasma viscosity occurs during hypoglycemia because of an increase in erythrocyte concentration , whereas coagulation is promoted by platelet activation and an increment in factor VIII and von Willebrand factor ( 7 ) . Endothelial function may be compromised during hypoglycemia because of an increase in C - reactive protein and the mobilization and activation of neutrophils and platelet activation . These changes may promote intravascular coagulation and thrombosis and encourage the development of tissue ischemia , with the myocardium being potentially vulnerable . HYPOGLYCEMIA - INDUCED CV EVENTS Anecdotal case reports have indicated a temporal relationship between severe hypoglycemia , acute vascular events , and sudden death ( ) . Case reports describe angina in association with acute hypoglycemia and acute coronary syndromes with typical ECG and enzyme changes after severe hypoglycemia ( ) . When hypoglycemia was induced in six subjects with type 2 diabetes , five developed ischemic ECG changes , whereas a bradyarrhythmia resulted in loss of consciousness in another patient ( 12 ) . When continuous glucose measurements and Holter ECG monitoring were performed simultaneously in patients with type 2 diabetes and known ischemic heart disease , 54 episodes of hypoglycemia ( blood glucose level < 3.9 mmol / L [ 70 mg / dL ] ) were identified , 10 of which were accompanied by chest pain ( 13 ) . This illustrates the difficulty of demonstrating that a major cardiac event has been provoked by acute hypoglycemia in any individual diabetic patient , since simultaneous glucose and ECG monitoring is rarely possible in clinical practice . SUDDEN DEATH IN YOUNG PEOPLE WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES A link between hypoglycemia and sudden death was raised in the 1960s , but the first detailed description appeared in 1991 after investigation of a series of deaths of young adults with type 1 diabetes ( 14 ) . The survey was commissioned by the British Diabetic Association after concern that insulin of human origin might cause fatal hypoglycemia . After deaths from definite causes were excluded , the authors identified 22 individuals with type 1 diabetes aged < 50 years , who despite being previously well had a very similar manner of death . Most were found lying in an undisturbed bed , a scenario that prompted the label โ dead in bed syndrome โ ( 15 ) . These observations have been followed by several epidemiological surveys that have confirmed both the mode of death and its increased frequency in individuals with type 1 diabetes ( 16 18 ) . An autopsy study from Australia ( 19 ) suggested that sudden unexpected deaths are four times more frequent than in a comparable nondiabetic population and , of these , many are found dead in an undisturbed bed . HYPOGLYCEMIA AS A POTENTIAL RISK FACTOR FOR SUDDEN DEATH IN DIABETES Cumulating clinical and experimental evidence has shown that hypoglycemia can cause abnormal electrical activity in the heart and has strengthened the premise that hypoglycemia can provoke sudden death . High - resolution electrocardiography , which measures the QT interval precisely , in conjunction with hypoglycemic clamps to control the depth of hypoglycemia , has demonstrated lengthening of the QT interval both in diabetic and nondiabetic individuals ( 20 21 ) . Clinical episodes of hypoglycemia have been shown to cause QT lengthening , measured using ambulatory ECG monitoring and simultaneous measurement of blood glucose ( by either intermittent venous sampling or continuous glucose monitoring ) ( 22 ) . Activation of the sympathoadrenal system probably drives these changes . Epinephrine infusion increases QT intervals ( 23 ) , and ฮฒ - blocking drugs attenuate QT lengthening during experimental hypoglycemia ( 24 ) . However , hypoglycemia induces a fall in serum potassium via sympathoadrenal activation and a direct effect of insulin , and hypoglycemia per se may have an effect by directly inhibiting cardiac ion channels that are responsible for potassium efflux during cardiac repolarization ( 25 ) . RELEVANCE OF ABNORMAL CARDIAC REPOLARIZATION AND LENGTHENED QT INTERVAL TO CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS In other situations , lengthening of the QT interval is a strong predictor of sudden death . The long QT syndrome is a congenital condition caused by mutations within the genes that code for proteins comprising the voltage - gated ion channels contributing to the cardiac action potential . Those affected have abnormal cardiac repolarization represented by prolonged QT on their electrocardiograms and an increased risk of sudden death due to cardiac arrhythmias ( 26 ) . QT lengthening caused by certain therapeutic agents including antihistamines or antibiotics in susceptible individuals can also cause sudden cardiac death . Because hypoglycemia is common and sudden death is rare , abnormal cardiac repolarization alone can not explain why hypoglycemia might lead to sudden death . Other factors that might contribute include inherited mutations or polymorphisms of genes involved in cardiac electrical activity and acquired abnormalities of other potentially relevant pathological mechanisms such as autonomic neuropathy . POTENTIAL ROLE OF CARDIAC AUTONOMIC NEUROPATHY It is possible that an interaction between hypoglycemia - induced abnormalities of cardiac repolarization and autonomic neuropathy contributes to the risk of sudden death in individuals with diabetes . Diabetic autonomic neuropathy is known to be associated with an increased mortality , and resting QT intervals are generally longer in patients with autonomic neuropathy than in patients without ( 27 ) . The recent demonstration that brief periods of experimental hypoglycemia impair CV autonomic function for up to 16 h is additional evidence for a clinically relevant interaction ( 28 However , not all data are supportive , since individuals with diabetic autonomic neuropathy actually have smaller increments in QT intervals during experimental hypoglycemia than individuals without ( 29 ) . The apparent paradox relates to the diminished sympathoadrenal responses that are observed both in patients with neuropathy ( in part related to a long duration of diabetes ) and after repeated episodes of hypoglycemia . Thus , on the one hand , a combination of autonomic neuropathy ( aggravated by antecedent hypoglycemia ) and then a severe episode leading to a powerful sympathoadrenal response might substantially increase the risk of arrhythmia - provoked sudden death , whereas on the other hand , repeated hypoglycemia in a person with impaired sympathoadrenal responses and longstanding diabetes might be protective . CASE REPORTS OF HYPOGLYCEMIA - ASSOCIATED ARRHYTHMIA The numerous case reports of cardiac arrhythmias provoked by spontaneous hypoglycemia ( ) emphasize the clinical relevance of the association , particularly since ethical considerations limit experimental studies in this area . Those reported range from severe sinus bradycardia ( which might progress to asystole ) and atrial fibrillation to ventricular tachycardia . RISKS OF HYPOGLYCEMIA IN CRITICAL ILLNESS Evidence has emerged from other clinical studies of people with serious illness to support the premise that exposure to hypoglycemia carries inherent CV risks . The mortality rate of patients with diabetes , who were exposed to severe hypoglycemia after admission to hospital with an acute coronary syndrome , was twice that of those who did not experience hypoglycemia ( 30 ) . This effect persisted after adjustment was made for potential confounding factors ( 31 ) . In patients with ST - elevation acute coronary syndrome , the 30 - day mortality was greater in patients at the upper and lower ( < 4.5 mmol / L [ 81 mg / dL ] ) extremes of blood glucose measured on admission to hospitals , showing a U - shaped curve ( 32 ) . A similar pattern was observed in patients with diabetes in the Japanese Acute Coronary Syndrome Study , but not in their nondiabetic group ( 33 ) . In another study , nondiabetic patients who developed spontaneous hypoglycemia while in hospital had a poorer outcome and a higher mortality than patients with insulin - treated diabetes exposed to iatrogenic hypoglycemia ( 34 ) . Although the development of hypoglycemia in this situation may be a surrogate marker for the severity of illness , it may also directly contribute to a fatal outcome . The susceptibility of those patients to a cardiac arrhythmia may be increased by preceding exposure to low blood glucose . Antecedent hypoglycemia diminishes the cardiac vagal baroreflex sensitivity and the sympathetic response to drug - induced hypotension , thus attenuating the autonomic responses to CV stress for up to 16 h ( 28 ) . This result may be a mechanism for inducing arrhythmias , making the heart susceptible to recurring hypoglycemia . In a large multicenter randomized controlled trial in Australia ( NICE - SUGAR ) ( 35 ) , the relationship of glycemic control to outcome from critical illness was examined in patients being treated in intensive care units . Strict control of blood glucose ( 4.5 โ 6.0 mmol / L ) was compared with standard control ( < 10.0 mmol / L ) . Mortality was higher in patients who maintained strict glycemic control , in whom severe hypoglycemia ( defined as blood glucose < 2.2 mmol / L ) was much more common ( 6.8 vs . 0.5 % ; P < 0.001 ) . A subgroup analysis suggested that no difference in 90 - day mortality existed between individuals with diabetes ( โผ 20 % ) and individuals without diabetes ( โผ 80 % ) . Potential weaknesses of this study limit interpretation . Unfortunately , the protocol permitted a reduction in the frequency of blood glucose measurements to four hourly tests when blood glucose was considered to be โ stable , โ which was then inadequate to assess glycemic control . In addition , neuroglycopenia may be more difficult to detect in an unconscious patient under sedation and may 36 37 ) have shown that strict glycemic control in seriously ill patients does not improve overall survival but reduces the risk of septicemia in surgical intensive care units at the expense of a fivefold higher incidence of hypoglycemia ( 13.7 vs . 2.5 % ) . Alarming results have been reported recently from a large multicenter registry of 3,571 Japanese patients undergoing first elective coronary revascularization ( 38 ) when a potential association was examined between preoperative HbA 1c levels and the CV outcome . Of the 3,571 patients , 1,504 had type 2 diabetes ; the outcome in patients with type 2 diabetes was analyzed according to four categories of HbA 1c : < 6 % , 6 to < 7 % , 7 to < 8 % , and > 8 % . Freedom from composite events of CVD death , myocardial infarction , and stroke after coronary revascularization was similar in nondiabetic patients and in those diabetic patients presenting with an HbA between 6 and 7 % . By contrast , diabetic patients with higher HbA values ( 7 โ 8 and > 8 % ) had a significantly higher rate of the composite end point versus nondiabetic subjects ( P < 0.0005 ) , but the composite end point of CVD death , myocardial infarction , and stroke after coronary revascularization was similar or even higher in diabetic patients who had the lowest HbA values ( < 6.0 % ) compared with those patients with the poorest glycemic control . GLYCEMIC CONTROL AND LONG - TERM SURVIVAL Outside the hospital setting , circumstantial evidence suggests that strict glycemic control , with its greater risk of severe hypoglycemia , may carry a potential risk to long - term survival . A study using the large U.K. General Practice Research Database ( 39 ) examined the relationship between HbA and survival using data collected for > 20 years from 48,000 patients with type 2 diabetes . One cohort ( n = 27,965 ) had been changed from oral monotherapy to a combination of oral medications , whereas the other cohort ( n = 20,005 ) had commenced regimens that included insulin . The primary outcome measure of all - cause mortality was examined for each decile of HbA in both cohorts . The 10 % of patients who had the lowest HbA values ( < 6.7 % ) had a higher mortality than all other deciles with higher HbA values , with the exception of the 10 % with the highest HbA values ( โฅ 9.9 % ) . The adjusted hazard ratios ( HRs ) for all - cause mortality by HbA deciles showed a U - shaped curve , irrespective of how or when HbA was measured . This study was criticized in that the patients in the second cohort were older and the causes of death were unknown . Also , the frequency of hypoglycemia could not be determined in this retrospective analysis . Nevertheless , the greatest risk of death and of cardiac events was associated with the lowest and highest HbA values . Although this evidence for a CV risk of hypoglycemia is much more circumstantial , this study supports the recommendation that glycemic control must be tailored to the age of the individual patient and in particular should address his or her existing comorbidities and the type of treatment to be used . HYPOGLYCEMIA IN ACCORD , ADVANCE , AND VADT CVD is the predominant cause of death in patients with type 2 diabetes , and reducing the risk of CVD has recently been the focus of three large glucose - lowering trials : ACCORD ( Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes ) ( 4 ) , ADVANCE ( Action in Diabetes and Vascular Disease : Preterax and Diamicron MR Controlled Evaluation ) ( 5 ) , and VADT ( Veterans Affairs Diabetes Trial ) ( 6 ) ( Table 1 ) . These three studies randomized almost 24,000 patients with longstanding high - risk type 2 diabetes to standard or intensive glycemic control for up to 5 years , ensuring HbA levels < 7 % . Mean HbA levels in the intensive arms of ACCORD , ADVANCE , and VADT were 6.4 , 6.5 , and 6.9 % in contrast to 7.5 , 7.3 , and 8.5 % in the standard arms . Unfortunately , strict glycemic control in these three studies did not incur a significant CV benefit , and none of the trials demonstrated any positive effect on CV events or mortality ( Table 1 ) . Even worse , the ACCORD study was prematurely interrupted because of an excess mortality among intensively treated patients . The rate of death from CV causes was higher in the intensive therapy group than in the standard therapy group ( 2.6 vs . 1.8 % ; HR 1.35 ; 95 % CI 1.04 โ 1.76 ; = 0.02 ) . Similarly , the rate of death from any cause was also significantly higher in the intensive therapy group than in the standard therapy group ( 5.0 vs . 4.0 % ; HR 1.22 ; 95 % CI 1.01 โ 1.46 ; = 0.04 ) . View inline View popup Clinical characteristics and effects of intensive glucose lowering vs . standard therapy on primary CV end point , total mortality , and CV mortality in ACCORD , ADVANCE , and VADT In all three trials , severe hypoglycemia was significantly higher in the intensive glucose - lowering arms compared with the standard arms : ACCORD 16.2 vs . 5.1 % ; VADT 21.2 vs . 9.9 % ; ADVANCE 2.7 vs . 1.5 % ( Fig . 2 ) . The much lower risk for severe hypoglycemia in ADVANCE may be explained by the fact that the patients in that trial appeared to have earlier or less advanced diabetes , with a shorter duration by 2 โ 3 years and lower HbA at entry despite very little use of insulin at baseline ( 40 ) . In addition , the need for insulin treatment in the intensive arm of ADVANCE was much lower compared with that in the intensive arms of the other two trials ( Fig . 1 Download figure Open in new tab Download powerpoint Figure 2 Percentage of severe hypoglycemic events in ACCORD , ADVANCE , and VADT . Several post hoc analyses ( 41 44 ) have now been reported by the ACCORD investigators , who were unable to ascertain the underlying causes of the higher mortality rate associated with strict glycemic control . Symptomatic severe hypoglycemia was associated with an increased risk of death within each study arm . Unadjusted annual mortality among patients in the intensive glucose control arm was 2.8 % in patients who had one or more episodes of hypoglycemia requiring any assistance compared with 1.2 % for individuals with no episodes ( 53 deaths per 1,924 person - years and 201 deaths per 16,315 person - years , respectively ; 43 Nevertheless , it remains biologically plausible that severe hypoglycemia could increase the risk of CV death in participants with high underlying CVD . This risk might be further confounded by the development of impaired awareness of hypoglycemia , particularly in patients with coexisting CV autonomic neuropathy , a strong risk factor for sudden death . A recent analysis from ACCORD ( 44 ) confirmed that patients with baseline cardiac autonomic neuropathy were about twice as likely to die as patients without cardiac autonomic neuropathy . The contribution of hypoglycemia to the increased mortality in the intensive study arm might be difficult to identify in large studies such as ACCORD . Death from a hypoglycemic event may be mistakenly ascribed to coronary heart disease , since there may not have been a preceding blood glucose measurement and since hypoglycemia can not be detected postmortem . In contrast to the ACCORD study , in VADT , a recent severe hypoglycemic event was an important predictor for CV death ( HR 3.72 ; 95 % CI 1.34 โ 10.4 ; < 0.01 ) and all - cause mortality ( HR 6.37 ; 95 % CI 2.57 โ 15.8 ; = 0.0001 ) as reported by Dr . William Duckworth and colleagues at the American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions in 2009 in New Orleans , Louisiana . By contrast , in the ADVANCE study ( 5 ) , in which the overall occurrence of severe hypoglycemia was much lower than in ACCORD , no increase in all - cause or CV mortality was observed in patients randomized to the intensive arm . Nevertheless , severe hypoglycemia was strongly associated with increased risks of various adverse clinical outcomes ( 45 ) , and the authors suggested that whereas severe hypoglycemia may contribute to these outcomes , it may alternatively be a marker of vulnerability to these events . Many patients with advanced diabetes and CVD undergo coronary revascularization . Detailed findings about the impact of glycemic control on the outcome of the patients in that situation have not yet been reported in any of the three studies . Most guidelines recommend HbA targets below 7.0 or 6.5 % , but without reference to specific antidiabetes treatments , diabetes duration , age of the patients , or preexisting CVD ( 46 ) . Because , according to a recent meta - analysis , the beneficial effect of strict glycemic control on CV events ( 47 ) seems to be limited for patients who are free from CVD , a less stringent glycemic target should be recommended for diabetic patients with longer duration of the disease , shorter life expectancy , advanced macrovascular complications , and chronic kidney disease and patients who are prone to hypoglycemia ( 46 47 ) . Accordingly , future diabetes guidelines will have to define a minimum HbA value , especially for patients with longstanding diabetes or who have established CVD ( ) . Indiscriminate application of intensive glucose - lowering therapy that could provoke dangerous hypoglycemia in frail elderly people with type 2 diabetes , or in patients with overt CVD , should be avoided .

The producers , for this purpose , heavily depend upon the data relating to the pattern of consumption of these goods and services . The demand analysis provides them the basis to take decisions relating to volume of production ( How many products required to produce ) , capital to be invested ( How much amount to be invested ) and so on . DEMAND Demand for a commodity refers to the quantity of the commodity which an individual consumer is willing to purchase at a particular time at a particular price . A product or service is said to have demand when three conditions are satisfied . ( a ) Desire to acquire - Desire of the consumer to buy the + Product ( b ) Willingness to pay His willingness to buy the product and ( c ) Ability to pay Ability to pay the specified price for it . Nature and types of Demand : Demand for the product is determined by its nature . Demand for such commodities which use indispensable for the consumer is not affected significantly by changes in their market conditions . In other words , a product with more number of uses is naturally more number of uses is naturally more in demand than one with a single use , the nature of demand is better understood when we see these variations given below : ( 1 ) Consumer goods v / s producer goods : Consumer Goods : Consumer goods refers to such products and services which are satisfying consumer need . Consumer goods are those which are available for ultimate consumption . Consumer goods are needed for direct consumption and gives direct and immediate satisfaction . For Ex : Bread , Apple , Rice and so on Producer Goods : Producer goods are those which are used for producing other goods . Producer goods are those which are used for further processing or production of goods services to cash income . These goods gives satisfaction indirectly . For Ex : Machines , Steel , Tools , etc . There could be cases where a given product may be both producer and also consumer goods . For Ex : A farmer having ten bags of paddy may use five bags for his personal consumption and other five bags as seeds for the next crop . In such a case , paddy is both producer good and consumer good . 2 . Autonomous Demand v / s Derived Demand : Autonomous Demand : Autonomous demand refers to the demand for products and services directly and independently . For Ex : Demand for two wheelers is autonomous demand . Derived Demand : In case of derived demand , the demand for a product arises due to purchase of another product . For Ex : ( 1 ) Demand for petrol because two wheelers ( 2 ) If there is a demand for house , then there is a demand for cement , iron and bricks . 3 . Durable Goods v / s Perishable Goods : Durable Goods : Durable Goods are those which give service relatively for a long period . For Ex : T.V. , Washing Machine , etc . Perishable Goods : Perishable Goods are those which give service relatively for a short period . For Ex : Milk , vegetables , fish , rice , etc . 4 . Firm Demand v / s Industry Demand : Firm Demand : The firm is a single business unit ( single company ) . The term โ Firm Demand โ denotes demand for a particular product of a particular firm ( company ) . The demand of LG TVs is referred as Firm Demand Or Company Demand . Industry Demand : Industry refers to the group of companies producing same type of product . Industry Demand refers to the total demand for the product of a particular industry . Demand for TVs produced by all companies is Referred as Industry Demand . 5 . New Demand v / s Replacement : New Demand refers to the demand for the new products and it is addition to the existing stock . Replacement Demand : Replacement demand may also refer to the demand resulting out of replacing the existing asset with the new ones . Purchasing a new TV and replacing with old is Referred as replacement demand . 6 . Total market and segment market demand : Total Market Demand : Total market demand means the total demand for a product in a given total market . For Ex : Segment Market Demand : Segment market demand refers to the demand of product in particular market segment of a total market . If a product selling in Andhra Pradesh total demand means that total demand to the that product in A.P . Market segment demand means the demand in a particular area . Demand in Nellore segment of total A.P. Market . Factors determining the Demand ( or ) Demand Determined The demand for a particular product depends on several factors . The following factors determine the demand for a given product . ( a ) Price of the product ( P ) ( b ) Income of the consumer ( I ) ( c ) Taste and performance of the consumer ( T ) ( d ) Price of related goods ( Substitute or complementary ) ( Pr ) ( e ) Expectations about the prices in future ( Ep ) ( f ) Expectations about the income in future ( Ei ) ( g ) Size of the population ( Sp ) ( h ) Distribution of consumers over different regions ( Dei ) ( i ) Advertising effort ( Ac ) ( j ) Any other factors capable of affecting the demand ( O ) Price of the product ( P ) : The most important factor which influence the demand is price . A decrease in the price of a normal good leads to rise in demand of a product . Similarly , an increase in the price will reduce the demand for a commodity . The relation between price and demand is inverse relationship . ( 2 ) Income of the consumer ( I ) When the income of the consumer is increased , the consumer purchase more quality of goods . When the income of consumer is decreased , the consumer purchase less quality of goods . The income of the consumer and demand of a product moves in the same direction . ( 3 ) Tastes and preference of the consumer ( T ) : We know it quit well that the change in tastes and preferences of a consumer in favor of a commodity results in increasing demand for a commodity , while if this change is against the commodity it results in smaller demand for the commodity . ( 4 ) Price of the related goods ( Pr ) ( Substitute and complementary Goods ) : When a change in the price of one commodity influences the demand for other commodity . The related commodities are two types : Substitutes Complements Substitute Goods : When the price of one commodity increase , then the demand for another product will increase . In case of Tea and Coffee , when coffee price increased then the demand for tea will increase . Likewise ( i.e. , both increase together or decrease together ) Complementary goods : When the price of one commodity , will increase , then the demand for another product will decrease . Bread and butter Pen and ink Petrol and automobiles ( 5 ) Expectations about future price of the product ( Ep ) : If the consumer expects future price of the product will increase , then the consumer purchase more quantity of goods at present . Similarly , if the price of the product in the future will decrease , then the demand at present will decrease . ( 6 ) Expectations about future income of the consumer ( Ef ) In case , the consumer expects a higher income in future , he spends more at present to purchase more quantity of goods . Similarly , the consumer expects a lower income in future , he spends less at present to purchase less quantity of goods . ( 7 ) Advertisement ( AE ) : If we can spent more amount on advertisement to influence the consumer , the demand will increase , if advertisement expenditure is less , then the demand will decrease . Demand Function : A mathematical expression of the relationship between quantity demanded of the commodity and its determinants . Demand function is a function which describes the relationship between demand and its determinants . It describes how much quantity of goods is bought at alternative prices of goods and related goods , alternative income levels , alternative various demand determinants mathematically , the demand function for a product can be expressed as follows : Qd = f ( P , I , T , PR , EP , EI , SP , DC , A , O ) Where Qd = Quantity of demand P = Price of the product I Income of the consumer T Tastes and preference PR Price of related goods EP Expected price of the product in future EI Expected income of the consumer in future SP Size of the population DC Distribution of consumers over various regions A Advertisement expenditure O Any another factor which influence the demand LAW OF DEMAND The law of demand states When the price of a product will increase , then the demand for the product will decrease . Similarly , when the price of the product decreased , the demand will increase when remaining things are constant . diagram When remaining things are constant . Remaining things means remaining determinants . The relation b / w demand and price is inverse relationship . Law of Demand table Price of product Demand of product 2 10 4 8 6 6 8 4 10 2 Exceptions to the law of Demand : There are certain exceptions to the law of demand in other words , the law of demand is not applicable in the following cases . Giffen Goods : People whose incomes are low purchase more of a commodity such broken rice , bread , potato ( which is their staple food ) when its prices rises . Inversely when its price falls , instead of buying more , they buy less of this commodity and use the savings for the purchase of better goods such as meat . This phenomenon is called Giffens paradox and such goods are giffen goods . Veblen Goods : Products such as jewels , diamonds and so on confer distinction on the part of the user . In such case , the consumers tend to buy more goods when price increased , and less purchase when price decreased . Such goods are called Veblen Goods . ( 3 ) Where there is a shortage of necessities : If the consumers fear that these could be shortage of necessities , then this law of demand does not applicable . They may tend to buy more than what they require immediately , even if the price of the product increases . ( 4 ) In case of ignorance of price changes : When the customer is not familiar with the changes in the price , he tends to buy even if there is increase in price .

http://careerminer.infomine.com/geologist-salaries-in-africa/ | Geologist salaries in Africa Small versus large companies , which is best to work for ? Why it is so important to have a good resume According to reports there are more than 60 metal and mineral products that are produced in Africa , including gold , diamonds , manganese , uranium , chromium , nickel and cobalt . Africa hosts about 30 % of the world โ s mineral reserves , including 40 % of gold , 60 % cobalt and 90 % of the world โ s PGM reserves , which makes it a very important producer of these metals . Although the increase in exploration in Africa has been mainly focused on gold and diamonds , there is a lot of scope for other metals . Mozambique , Nigeria and Madagascar are reportedly but a few of the countries that have potential for base metal and industrial mineral deposits . South Africa , Zambia , Ghana , Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo dominate the mining industry in Africa . However one must not forget the involvement of other countries such as Angola , Namibia , Zimbabwe and Zambia who also rely heavily on mining . The question is how are Geologists in Africa faring salary wise in comparison to the other regions ? According to the results of our recent salary survey , Geologists in Africa are not faring too badly salary wise , with Geologists in some countries earning relatively comparative salaries to what they could expect to earn in Canada or the United States of America , What was interesting was that for expatriate Geologists working in certain areas of Africa , many can expect to earn substantially more than they would in Canada or the United States of America . Geologists as a whole in Africa are earning less than they would in Australia , but then we have established There does also appear to be quite a substantial difference in what expatriates in some areas of Africa would earn working as a Geologist , in comparison to some national Geologists , with expatriates generally earning quite substantially more . This discrepancy between national and expatriate salaries seems to be the case for many of the African countries . For more junior Geologists , these differences in salaries between nationals and expatriates are more severe . For more senior Geologists the differences are less severe , but expatriate salaries are still significantly higher . What was also of interest was that in general , expatriate salaries in Western and Central African countries are higher than those in Southern and Eastern countries , particularly with more senior Geologists . Salaries across the board for more senior Geologists in Eastern Africa were generally lower than in Southern , Central and Western Africa . The other thing of interest was that that within South Africa the salary ranges were far more consistent , in terms of the 25 % ile , median and 75 % ile than many of the other countries in Africa . This means Taking all the above into consideration , even with some nationals being paid substantially less than what expatriates are earning as Geologists in many African countries , they are still earning very competitive salaries in comparison to what other nationals in these countries are earning who are not Geologists . I have included all Geologists , both nationals and expatriates in the results below , which does bring the averages down slightly in some areas . All the results displayed are working in US dollars , and on basic salary , i.e. before benefits , bonuses etc . When you take the gross salary into consideration and include benefits , it can dramatically alter what Geologists are earning , particularly for expatriates , who are generally offered very attractive benefits , which can include โ risk โ or โ danger โ pay ( depending on where in Africa they are based ) , schooling for children , company cars , housing , very good leave , and flights back home every year .

I will be very happy if you could show me the starting salary of a person with just a bachelors compared to the ones with masters and Phd . January 4th , 2013 Reply Susan Kihn Hi John . I have been working on figures where we have included both bachelors and masters , but its a great idea of yours to see what the difference would be . Are you specifically looking for salaries in Africa ? Or other regions ? I will put some figures together asap , and let you know once they are up on the blog . Thanks for the input . Regards . Susan . January 4th , 2013 Reply Mbella Emmanuel I read what you published but What I will let you know is that , the salary depend on the contry , the company and the employer . There is not what we call in french an internationnal โ Barรจme de salaire โ for geologist and mining lworker in the world . There are geologist who are earning $ 800 US or less a month in some african countries . January 5th , 2013 Susan Kihn Hi Mbella . Thanks for the feedback , and yes I agree . When it comes to salaries and the results of salary surveys , they are great to give one a rough estimate in terms of what salaries are earned on average . However as you say so much does depend on where you work and who you work for , so you always need to keep that in mind when comparing what you are earning , to what others appear to be earning . Something else I have noticed over the years is so much depends on ones January 5th , 2013 Joseph Thanks Susan for this information but I think it will be good if you could break it into salaries for nationals , salaries for African expat geologists and salaries for non - African expat geologists . This will give better understanding to people during negotiations depending on which category of geologists they belong . Also I think it will be great if you could reference it to both position and experience e.g Junior geologist , Exploration geologist , Mine geologist , Project geologist , Senior geologist etc . Regards . Hi Joseph , this is something I would be very happy to have a look at . I will keep you posted . Regards . Susan . January 9th , 2013 Lohith Kumar Hi I am Lohith Kumar DR , I have a 4.6 years experience in Exploration , Mapping and Planning , if any opportunity in Geologist position please refer me . Thanking you Lohith Kumar January 9th , 2013 Hi Lohith , thank you for the message . If you send me your contact details , I will certainly contact you and see if I can advise you . You should also , if you have n โ t already register on CareerMine , and post your resume . We have around 40 000 mining jobs on our site , many of them for Geologists . You are welcome to contact me should you need help in this . Regards . Susan . Saeed Hi dear Susan ; First of all thanks for your information , it can be very useful . If you can , please give some data about salaries in Australia based on the university degree and experiences . It could be very helpful and motivating for whom they are looking for a new job opportunity . Hi Saeed , thank you for the input . I will certainly see what information I can find , and let you know . Regards . Susan . Jose Figueiredo When you refer to salaries are we talking about the basic salry or the total cost of employment to company ? Geologists because of the nature of their work , will in most cases work away from home either as expatriates or even locals in whatever country . This will attract benefits that are not profession related but simply specific to their status as indicated above . How have you dealt with it in order to be a fair comparison ? January 10th , 2013 Hi Jose . All salaries are worked on base salary ie before benefits . The reason we work on the base pay , is because so many Geologists do get benefits that are difficult to put into dollar value , especially expats who get benefits such as housing , schooling , company cars etc . The benefits change things dramatically , with some Geologists earning quite substantially more than other , depending on their benefits . Thanks for the input . Regards . Susan . January 10th , 2013 Jim Robb Hi Susan I find your posts very interesting . To my knowledge this is the first work I have seen done on geology salaries in Africa . I agree with earlier posts that this should maybe be divided into expat / local roles . The other issue is that a number of expats in Africa are employed on a tax free basis which adds significantly to the bottom line . I โ m not sure how you would factor that in but it is an important issue . Another item of interest would be comparative expat rotations in Africa . These vary widely and although they have improved over the last decade there are still companies out there exploiting expat workers as they are not covered by local labour laws . cheers April 11th , 2013 Hi Jim , thank you for the positive feedback . I was interested to read what you said about the comparative expat rotations in Africa , and that expats are still being exploited to a certain extent as they are not covered by local labour laws , hopefully this will not continue for much longer , as the expat life can be tough as it is , and having to deal with issues like this as well can make things very hard for the expat ! ! Any other input you have would be great to see ! ! Regards April 11th , 2013 William Dunn Hey really good write up by the way ! i have a quick question if that โ s ok , , you probably get this all the time , how easy is it for a graduate to get work in Africa ? i am graduating next June in the UK BSc Geology and hope to work there in exploration . Thanks June 5th , 2013 Hi William . Thanks for the feedback on the article . So far as obtaining work in Africa goes , with a BSc in Geology your chances should be pretty good . Please keep in mind that mining is not great at the moment , so there are not nearly as many jobs available as there are when mining is booming , however there are always opportunities out there . I would suggest you register and post your resume onto CareerMine if you have n โ t already , we are the worlds largest mining job portal , and have October 14th , 2015 henry phoko Hi , I am currently studying geology - geography and I โ d like to know , would I be as qualified as a geology - chemistry student ? June 8th , 2013 Danny Althaus You made a number of fine points there . I did a search on the topic and found nearly all people will go along with with your blog . June 19th , 2014 Hi Jane , thanks for the feedback . I am in the process of putting some information together on Geologist salaries in South Africa . It will appear on the CareerMiner in the next few days . This will give you a far better idea in terms of what sort of salary you can expect to earn as a Geologist in South Africa . I can however say that Geologists as a whole are reasonably paid . Obviously the more experience you have the higher salary you can expect to earn , and Graduates never earn as much as those October 14th , 2015 abraham thank you for your post November 16th , 2016 MICHELLE MUSHAWATU thank you for your post Susan .

http://careernetwork.msu.edu/jobs-internships/after-the-offer.html | Jobs + Internships Get Experience Finding a Job Part - Time + Summer Jobs Internships Full - Time Jobs Career Fairs Interviewing Appearance and Attire After the Offer Reneging Policy Transitioning to Work Internship Opportunity Award Job Scams Advice Home > Jobs + Internships > After the Offer After the Offer The most important question to ask yourself is : Are you excited about this job and the salary ? If you are not happy , you will not be a great employee , and you are n โ t likely to have a good experience with the organization . But it โ s also important to balance your excitement and passion for the field you โ re entering with a realistic expectation for financial rewards . Accepting an Offer You โ ve landed your first job . It โ s good to be enthusiastic , but do n โ t lose your head . Find out when you start , what your salary is , what your hours are , and what the office dress code is . You may need to negotiate some of these things ; make sure you โ ve done your research so you can be a smart negotiator โ especially regarding your salary . Do n โ t accept the offer immediately . Ask the employer when they need your answer . This should not be a problem with most employers . ( See MSU Employment Offer Policies for employers . ) Remember that an accepted offer should be honored . Do n โ t take an offer just because it โ s your first โ weigh your options carefully before accepting . When you accept an offer , notify any other potential employers that you are no longer a candidate for a position . Let them know that you โ ve accepted an offer and you โ re no longer available for consideration . Do n โ t go to any plant visits or interviews after you โ ve accepted an offer . Change your Handshake profile status to show that you are no longer in job search mode . Once you receive and accept a job offer , send your new employer a thank - you letter . This is an effective way to get a good start in forming a positive relationship with your new employer . Rejecting an Offer If you receive an offer for a job that you do not want or can not accept , you need to let the employer know as soon as possible so they can continue looking for a candidate . It โ s important to be polite and sincere when you turn down an offer . If you think that you would hate working for a company or were totally unimpressed with what you saw during a tour , there โ s no need to say that ! Instead , say โ I โ m sorry , but : I do n โ t feel that your organization would be the best choice for me . โ I do n โ t think that I could fully meet all of your expectations . โ I just do n โ t think that your organization is the best fit for me at this time . โ If you withdraw from consideration for a position or turn down an offer , send a polite and positive thank - you letter which leaves the door open for future consideration . Managing Multiple Offers If you โ ve been interviewing with several different employers , you may have more than one offer to consider . Here are a few points to keep in mind : It โ s perfectly acceptable to ask for an extension while considering a job offer . This is true even if you are waiting for an offer from another employer , rather than considering an offer that โ s already been made . It is much better to ask Employer A for an extension while you wait for Employer B โ s offer , than to accept Employer A โ s offer and wish you had waited . Or worse , decide that you want to accept Employer B โ s offer after all . You should never accept a RENEGING POLICY Do n โ t accept an offer immediately , even if you are sure you want the job . It is reasonable to ask for a few days to think it over ; be wary of any employer who insists that you make a decision right away . When dealing with more than one offer , make a list of pros and cons for each . This will help you see the differences more clearly and make a better decision . Consider the long - term benefits of each job , not just the immediate ones . A hiring bonus is nice , but it โ s a one - time benefit ; a more attractive health insurance plan is worth more in the long run . It โ s acceptable to let an employer know if you are considering another offer , particularly if that is the reason you are unable to make a quick decision . Knowing that there is competition may encourage an employer to make a more attractive offer . Do n โ t reveal specific details of your other offers . It โ s fine to provide a salary range or mention extra benefits , but do n โ t get into details . Mentioning additional offers is a negotiating tactic , not a threat . While any employer who makes an offer is obviously interested in hiring you , the way you handle salary and benefit negotiation will reflect on your potential as an employee just as much as the interview . Be professional , tactful , and well - prepared , just as you would in a work situation . Negotiating Offers The strongest tools to negotiate with are salary information for your industry and the value of the unique skills that you bring to the table . The industry โ s economic climate and the location of your position will both have a major in๏ฌuence on your salary o๏ฌer , even when compared to other candidates within the same company . New York City is not the same as Traverse City in cost of living . Try the National Association of Colleges and Employers ( NACE ) salary calculator for information specific to your job location . Benefits of Negotiating By negotiating instead of taking the first offer , you may get a higher salary or a better benefits package . Raises are often based on salary . A higher starting salary means that your raises will be based on larger figure . If salary is non - negotiable , you may still be able to bargain your way to more vacation time , flexible hours , better health benefits , tuition reimbursement , or other non - cash extras . If you feel you are being paid less than you are worth , chances are good that you wo n โ t be happy in this job for long . It โ s in everyone โ s best interests for you to be satisfied with your job once you are hired ; you do n โ t want to start the job search all over again , and employers do n โ t want to lose the financial investment they โ ve made by recruiting , hiring , and training you . If the company has made you an offer , they want to hire you . You have the upper hand at this point ; so use it to your advantage . Dos and Don โ ts of Negotiating Don โ ts Do n โ t be the first one to talk money . Do n โ t talk about money at the first interview , before an offer is made , or at any time that the information can be used to screen you out of the application process . Do n โ t tell an employer the minimum salary you need to live , e.g. โ I have to make at least X amount . โ If you give your lowest number , your employer may consider that a starting point from which to negotiate . Do n โ t commit yourself to a specific number . Always leave yourself room to bargain by giving a salary range . Do n โ t accept the first offer an employer makes . Repeat the amount offered , then hesitate . Those few moments of silence may be just the opening your interviewer needs to make a more attractive offer . Dos Express interest and excitement about the job . Make sure the employer knows you are interested in working for them before negotiating . Be confident . You โ ve done your research and know what you โ re worth . Have a salary range in mind before negotiations begin , based on your research into the field , geographic area , and company . Know your personal budget . Job Offer Quick Links Accepting Rejecting Multiple Offers Negotiating Salary Calculator Reneging Policy | [

http://careerrocketeer.com/2013/08/10-ways-to-make-resume-bullet-points-hit-the-mark.html | 10 Ways to Make Resume Bullet Points Hit the Mark ! Perry Newman | August 5 , 2013 | Resumes No Comments In a professional resume bullet points are meant to easily draw attention to information that allows decision makers to determine whether you are a worthy candidate for the job . Not to my surprise , when I recently asked people who screen resumes for a living about bullet points they told me most resumes they see are inundated them but most of the bullet points failed to hit the mark ? With this in mind , here are a few pointers when preparing bullet points to include in a Professional Profile , Summary of Qualifications or Experience section of a resume ; all areas where bullet points aid in telling the story you want to get across to the decision maker . Be certain the bullet point has value and makes the reader want to read on and learn more about you , or that it validates a point you โ ve already made and strengthens its appeal . Understand that a bullet point need not be a full sentence or have a period at the end , but be consistent . Many bullet points offer statistics and supporting data such as in stating your achievements . The key is to write them so they come across as interesting reading and not hum - drum boiler plate pronouncements . When using consecutive bullet points leave breathing room between them so each one stands out . For me this is the most irksome and frequently made mistake that often renders a resume totally unreadable . Bullet points are meant to be visually appealing in a resume while bullet point sub headings are distracting . There are many choices on your computer โ s bullet library ; the trick is to choose the one most appealing to your image and your story . In a resume โ s bullet points do n โ t overdo italics and bold fonts . They will have the opposite effect than the one you desire . Know when to use bullet points and when information should be offered in a sentence or a paragraph . Bullet points are meant to create a visual appeal in a resume so make sure this is the case when you insert one , and be conscious to not overuse bullet points so as to detract from the document โ s visual appeal . The secret to writing a great bullet point is brevity , especially in today โ s โ Twitter Age โ , so work extra hard to make your point as briefly as possible , and when needed make one bullet point into two .

http://careers.stateuniversity.com/pages/401/Forensic-Scientist.html | 3 minute read Forensic Scientist Job Description , Career as a Forensic Scientist , Salary , Employment Definition and Nature of the Work , Education and Training Requirements , Getting the Job Education and Training : Bachelor ' s , master ' s , or doctoral degree Salary : Varies โ see profile Employment Outlook : Good Definition and Nature of the Work Forensic scientists gather and evaluate evidence from the victims , vehicles , and scenes of crimes . They analyze the data scientifically , and their findings may help to convict or prove the innocence of a person accused of a crime . Forensic scientists are sometimes known as crime lab analysts or criminalists . Almost all of the people in this field work for federal , state , or local law enforcement and investigative agencies . Police may submit clothing to be tested for the presence of drugs . Forensic scientists may be asked to decide whether spent bullets match firearms , or they may test and examine burned debris , footprints , inks , and papers . The forensic scientist ' s report may be requested in civil as well as criminal cases . For instance , in a case where a company is held responsible for the pollution of a stream , the forensic scientist may test water samples for traces of waste from the company ' s plant . Education and Training Requirements High school students interested in a forensic science career should take courses in mathematics , computers , earth sciences , biology , and chemistry . Almost all jobs require at least a bachelor ' s degree . Several colleges offer both undergraduate and graduate degrees in forensic science . A bachelor ' s degree with a major in forensic , natural , or physical science from an accredited college prepares job seekers for work in a crime laboratory . However , most employers prefer applicants with a master ' s or doctoral degree . Employers often pay tuition for courses Most crime laboratories offer initial on - the - job training . Some trainees who have served as police officers enter the forensic science field and continue to take college courses while they work . Computer skills are increasingly important as databases are used for retrieval of information on drugs and other substances . Getting the Job Visiting a crime laboratory and talking to employees may be an interesting and helpful introduction to this career . The Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI ) , a major employer , can send you an application . College placement offices and state employment offices will also help graduates find jobs in forensic science . Advancement Possibilities and Employment Outlook Forensic scientists may become managers of the crime laboratories in which they work . They can direct the training of new crime lab analysts . They can also establish their own consulting businesses . Jobs for forensic science technicians ( those with a bachelor ' s degree only ) are expected to increase much faster than average . Employment opportunities for forensic scientists are expected to increase at an average rate . Job growth to some extent is directly related to crime rates and the number of civil action cases brought against companies accused of endangering personal or public health . However , crime rates have decreased in many areas , and the federal and state governments are expected to reduce the number and severity of environmental regulations imposed on companies . Working Conditions Although much of their time is spent in clean , well - equipped laboratories , forensic scientists may accompany police into dangerous territory and may observe very unpleasant sights . They may take some risks working with firearms . They may have to examine some weapons that are in poor condition . They may be exposed to fumes and odors from decaying remains . They may also work with poisons . Most forensic scientists work a five - day , forty - hour week . However , situations may arise when they must work beyond their normal hours . Where to Go for More Information American Academy of Forensic Sciences 410 North 21st St . Colorado Springs , CO 80904 - 2798 ( 719 ) 636 - 1100 http : / / www . aafs . org American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors 139K Technology Dr . Garner , NC 27529 ( 919 ) 773 - 2044 Earnings and Benefits Earnings vary widely depending on education , specialty , and location of employment . In 2005 entry - level forensic lab technicians earned about $ 30,000 per year , and the median salary for forensic technicians was slightly more than $ 40,000 per year . More experienced forensic scientists with bachelor ' s or master ' s degrees earned up to $ 70,000 per year . Medical doctors who work in the field of forensics , such as pathologists , earned more than $ 200,000 per year . Benefits include sick leave , medical insurance , and pension plans .

Aquarists usually work under the direction of an aquarium curator , who manages the displays and operations at an aquarium . The aquarist is the person that actually tends to the fish and ensures that they are fed and receive everything they need to live and thrive in their environment . Aquarists tend to the environment that the fish live within . They clean the tanks , and they clean algae from the glass through which the public views the fish . Aquarists must have a strong working knowledge of fish , mammals , and other plants and animals that live within the displays at the aquariums . Aquarists are responsible for the animals โ and plants โ well - being ; aquarists handle everything from ensuring that the aquarium is set at the right temperature to feeding the fish the proper type and amount of food . In addition to providing daily attention to the plant and animal life in the aquarium , aquarists also care for the creatures when they are sick or require special attention . Aquarists observe the fish within the aquarium for different experiments and to capture valuable information that will be used for a variety of purposes . These people who work daily with the plants and animals in an aquarium may be involved as scientists in experiments , if their education and experience allows for that , or may simply handle gathering the specimens and observing them as necessary . The primary focus of aquarists is caregiving . Aquarists are responsible for ensuring that the life within an aquarium is fed properly , that the environment is conducive to the plants and animals growing and thriving , and that the creatures have everything else that they need to live well . Aquarists are also responsible for ensuring that the displays and exhibits remain clean and that the fish are in good shape to be viewed by the public . Those who work with the tanks are an integral part of the staff at an aquarium , as they not only Training / Educational Requirements It is required that an aquarist have a bachelor โ s degree to get hired into the position . It is preferred that the degree be in either environmental engineering , biology , science , or veterinary science , though this is not necessarily a requirement . The educational requirement is the most important aspect at the beginning , but beyond that experience will become important . Some of the best and most important training for the role of an aquarist comes on the job . It can be helpful if a new aquarist works directly under an aquarium curator or other more experienced aquarists . As they work through the various responsibilities , new aquarists will learn what it takes to care for the fish and their environment . Additional training may be offered later on , and it can be helpful to take advantage of such opportunities . This will help to keep an aquarist functioning well in her or his current job and to How to Get Hired The best way to get hired initially is to have educational experience in a related field . Though an aquarist โ s degree may not be in an aquatics - related field , individual aquatics courses can help to prepare an individual for this job . As an aquarist gains experience working in an aquarium environment and with a wide array of fish , he or she will become adept and competitive . Therefore , this experience will help the aquarist to get hired for other aquarist roles in the future , or to even move up to a role with greater responsibility . Job Prospects , Employment Outlook , and Career Development Though this can be a competitive field , as many people are interested in working in such an environment , experience will help to secure job opportunities . Though there is always a need for aquarists , there may appear to be fewer jobs in tougher economic times because there will be greater competition for the jobs that do exist . Having an educational background and proven experience in caring for fish in different environments can help an aquarist to advance , and this leads to a positive individual career outlook . Working Environment This working environment is quite unique in that aquarists spend much of their time working in an actual aquarium environment . They may have an office or an area within the aquarium where they can complete paperwork and attend meetings , but aquarists will generally spend much of their day working with the fish directly . They may handle inventory or prepare food or chemicals in a separate area , but aquarists will then get into the actual tank or display to feed and care for the fish . Aquarists may work unusual hours as the caregiving dictates , or Salary and Benefits The average salary for an aquarist is around $ 51,500 per year , though there can be variances based on several factors . The geographical location that the aquarist works within , as well as specific employer and actual responsibilities can factor into the salary that an aquarist earns . Additionally , the level of experience that an aquarist has can factor in to how much is earned . When working as part of a staff at an aquarium , an aquarist can expect to earn traditional benefits , such as paid vacation and sick days , medical coverage , Additional topics Cheese Industry Worker Job Description , Career as a Cheese Industry Worker , Salary , Employment - Definition and Nature of the Work , Education and Training Requirements , Getting the Job Aquaculturalist Job Description , Career as a Aquaculturalist , Salary , Employment - Definition and Nature of the Work , Education and Training Requirements , Getting the Job Job Descriptions and Careers , Career and Job Opportunities , Career Search , and Career Choices and Profiles Agribusiness , Environment , and Natural Resources | [

http://caribbeanhistoryarchives.blogspot.com/2011/08/african-slavery.html | Wednesday , 24 August 2011 African Slavery Prior to 1783 , there were few African slaves in Trinidad . A plantation economy was virtually undeveloped here . Slavery , in fact , operated from a different perspective in early Spanish times in Trinidad . For it was from Trinidad that large quantities of tribal people ( Arawaks and Caribs ) were captured and transported to other islands , such as Cuba , Hispaniola ( Haiti / Dominican Republic ) , Jamaica and to various places on the South American continent . Just a few people of African descent lived here along with the Spanish colonists and the dwindling Amerindian population . It has been remarked by chroniclers that the overall poverty that pervaded the island was such that there was hardly any difference between the Spaniards , their โ mestizo โ and โ zambo โ children and their slaves . Plantations began with the arrival of the French and other catholic settlers in the 1780s . Sugar and cotton began to be grown in quantity and the need for African slave labour grew rapidly . Africans arrived with their owners from the other islands . They were considered โ seasoned โ : first , second or even third generation - born in the Caribbean , might have made them immune to some tropical diseases . They were French or Spanish - speaking and well assimilated into the estate life of master and servant . Many were highly regarded and considered Professor Bridget Brereton of the University of the West Indies writes in โ Book of Trinidad โ : โ African slavery and European colonisation in the Caribbean are inseparable . Africans and Spanish - born blacks arrived in the islands along with Columbus and the earliest Spanish settlers and enslaved Africans soon became the major work force for the mines , plantations and ranches established in the Hispanic Caribbean in the 16th century . โ By the end of the 18th century , African slave labour would become the basis of the social and economic structure of these islands . After the British conquest of 1797 , there was a dramatic increase in the black population . At the time of the conquest there were some 10,000 slaves in Trinidad . By 1802 , just five years later , there were 20,000 . That year , the island was formally ceded to England and Trinidad โ s first significant fortunes were made . By 1806 , the slave trade was prohibited in the British Empire . This resulted in a gradual decline in the slave population up until 1834 , when slavery was abolished by the British altogether . In this period , Trinidad โ s African - born population came from a variety of areas . They were brought out of Senegambia in western Africa , to northern Angola in the south , to central Congo . Some people were islamic Mandigoes from sub - Saharan Africa . It has been suggested that as late as 1813 the majority of slaves were African - born . This was somewhat unlike older colonies like Tobago or Barbados , where slaves had been imported at a much earlier date and the slave population was already in their second or third generation . In 1813 , slaves from the Bight of Biafra formed the largest single group ( about 39 % ) in Trinidad . After 1834 , as the older Africans passed away , the balance shifted in favour of the Creoles , those born in Trinidad and in the other islands . The relationship between masters and slaves was not always clear - cut . Many young Frenchmen with little prospects at home set out to make a fortune in the Caribbean . Taking advantage of the generous land grants and other encouragements being offered to them in the 1790s , they acquired slaves and cleared land and built the necessary infrastructure to set up sugar plantations . Hard work was the order of the day . Outnumbered by the slave population , the master had to depend on brute force and coercion on the one hand and on the other the European women were also pretty scarce in those early years ( 1770s - 1790s ) . Many relationships were formed between master and female slave . It is only through the wills of these slavemasters that a true glimpse of the nature of these relationship may be gleaned . Translation of the Will of Jean de Lampรจtre , a French planter who died at an early age on his estate at Marabella , 1821 ( names changed ) โ In the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit , etc . etc . I , Jean - Amard Marie Alphonse de Lampรจtre , commend my soul to God . I declare that I am the proprietor of the estate of Marabella in partnership with Mr . Charles Burlington , and the estate called Union in partnership with Governor Picton , also in the estate in Grenada called Thelsaide . I wish that the Negro called Sampson and the two Negresses called Jeannette and Marguerite be given to Messrs . Alysen directing that they should sell the said slaves to the owner of best repute in the island or give them the opportunity of choosing their own Master . I declare that I have two natural children by the Mulatress Luce living at present in my house . The boy was baptised in Guyana on the 3rd April , 1792 , under the name of Charles Barclay and the girl was born in this island on the 26th November last and baptised under the name of Marie - Anne . I declare that I give to my Mulatress Eliza her liberty and my wish is that she enjoy all that is possible after my decease ; I give to her fifty pounds portuguesas . I give to my Mulatress Magdelaine a negro named Jean Francis , at present employed on Union estate . I give to the Mulatress Luce the sum of five hundred pounds portuguesas . I give to my son Charles Barclay the sum of one thousand pounds portuguesas , which is to be paid to him on his majority and which is to be guaranteed by all my properties bearing interest at the rate of six percent for his upkeep and education . I give to the girl Mulatress , Marie - Anne , his sister , the sum of three hundred portuguesas , which sum is to be paid to her at her majority and which is to be guaranteed by all my properties bearing interest at the rate of six percent for her upkeep and education . I appoint for tutor to my above mentioned children M . Salvador Dominic , my neighbour and friend . I give to Governor Picton a cask of Madeira wine and a cask of rum which are at present in my store with his mark . I give to the Mulatress Luce all my clothes and household furniture which have been declared to belong to me by the district police . ( from โ Book of Trinidad ) A note on the origins of slavery The institution of slavery has been a part of the human condition from very early in recorded history . From biblical times it is recorded that the Egyptians made slaves of the Hebrews . The entire Greek civilisation was founded on economic leverage provided by slavery . At first , the Greeks mostly enslaved each other , but later , as their empire expanded into Asia , the Mediterranean basin and north Africa , their slave population became quite cosmopolitan . Following the Greeks , the Romans too possessed a vast slave population , many of them Greeks . Educated and multi - talented , they often served to improve their masters . The Germans enslaved their neighbours of the Slavonic tribes , the โ Slavs โ from whom the term โ slave โ originated . From the early 14th century , continuing almost to present times , considerable numbers of slaves were brought out of Africa across the Sahara to Muslim countries in North Africa , and from there to other Islamic states in the Middle East . Fr . Anthony de Verteuil notes in his book โ Seven Slaves and Slavery โ that as late as the 1950s , there were over half a million slaves , mainly African , in Saudi Arabia . Slavery assumed significance to us with the arrival of Europeans in the New World . Its origins in this context had to do with the Portuguese explorers , making their way along the west coast of the African continent , seeking routes to Asia . The first African slaves were brought back to Lisbon in 1441 by the navigator Gonzalves . They were a gift to the King . With this mindset in place , the European exploitation of an entire continent , its people and its primary resources was set in motion . This produced the most significant displacement As historian de Verteuil states : โ Between 1530 and 1600 an average of 13,000 slaves a year were shipped to the Americas . The number doubled in the 17th century , touched 70,000 a year during the course of the 18th century and soared to 135,000 per annum . โ It has been estimated that approximately 12,500,000 slaves were exported out of Africa . This does not take into consideration the numbers of those who died on the journey . By the 1720s , the process had become more selective . Cargoes shipped from Ghana of 600 slaves were organised so that two thirds were males and one third females . Six seventh of each cargo had to be between 16 and 30 years of age , one seventh boys and girls of which none should be under 10 years of age . The records show for Liverpool merchants in 1789 that slaves exported ( that is , abducted ) from Africa were as follows : โ Total exports for the year 74,000 ; the British 38,000 ; the French 20,000 ; the Portuguese 10,000 ; the Dutch 4,000 and the Danes 2,000 . โ Subjects of African kingdoms became slaves in various ways in Africa itself too . Sometimes they were enslaved as a penalty for a crime or as recompense for a debt , sometimes travellers may have been caught by local warlords and sold . People in outlying districts were kidnapped . Great kings received thousands of slaves as tribute . Throughout west Africa , slavery existed . It was , however , as a result of tribal wars that the vast quantity of prisoners were sold as slaves to Muslim traders , who in turn sold them to the Europeans . In 1813 , there were 11,633 slaves in Trinidad who were described as โ Creole โ , that is born in Trinidad or other West Indian territories . There were 13,984 slaves born in Africa and brought to Trinidad . Amongst these were 2,863 Ibo from Nigeria , 2,450 Congo , 2,240 Moco , 1,421 Mandingo , and 1,068 comprised of the peoples of Komantyn , Fanti and Ashanti . Other tribes such as Horuba , Haussa , Fulani ( Peul ) , Rada and Susu made up the remainder in smaller numbers . In total , some 25,696 slaves Slave Uprisings In the period following the establishment of the plantation system in Trinidad ( 1783 ) and especially after the dramatic and devastating events of the slave uprisings in Haiti , the planters grew increasingly afraid in Trinidad . Already , there had been the terrible effects of poisoning on many estates . Not only slaves had fallen victim of poisoners , but also overseers and sometimes the children of the master and one of his favourites . Rumours of a planned uprising spread . A conspiracy was meant to wipe out the slave - owning population of Trinidad in one go . Over the years it has been suggested by some historians , however , that this was not so much a conspiracy halted โ in the nick of time โ , as much as it was a preemptive measure mounted by planters who were hysterically afraid for their lives and a British administration only too eager to impose authoritarian rule . It would appear that some sort of plot was planned for Christmas day 1805 . Historian E.L. Joseph in his โ History of Trinidad โ ( 1838 ) calls attention to this plot and states that โ the revolt was to have commenced on Shand โ s Estate . It appeared to have originated among some French and African Negroes . โ In Fraser โ s History , mention is also made of this terrible incident . He points out that the slave population was some 20,000 , while the slave - owning , white and free coloured inhabitants were half that number . History tells us that the authorites acted by declaring martial law and moved swiftly to apprehend those involved . As it turned out , the slaves had organised themselves into various societies . This was not unusual as in their African homelands there were many such secret groupings , denoting advancement into maturity and initiation into tribal rites . In the context of Trinidad โ s slave society , where members of various tribes were mixed and mingled on plantations for security reasons , these groupings or societies of Africans continued , but had assimilated European systems of order and designation . The slaves started to give themselves names such as โ Major โ or โ Captain โ and described their societies as โ Regiments โ . By His Excellency Thomas Hislop Proclamation of Martial Law in Trinidad ( abridged from the Barbados Mercury and Bridgetown Gazette , February 1st , 1806 ) โ Whereas there are strong reasons to apprehend that this Colony is threatened with internal dangers from the nefarious machinations of ill - disposed negroes and slaves in this community : And His Majesty โ s Council of the said Island having recommended me to adopt the masure of Martial Law . All persons must suffer temporary and individual inconvenience for the general welfare of the community . Notice is hereby given that the several patrols will be ordered to take up all negro and other slaves , who shall be found in any of the streets of Port of Spain , after eight o โ clock at night and to lodge them in security during the night . Such negro or other slave who may be found to have offeneded against any of the ordinances now in existence will be immediately punished with death , or otherwise , according to the Punishment of persons found guilty of conspiracy in contemplated insurrection of slaves ( abridged from the Barbados Mercury and Bridgetown Gazette , February 1st , 1806 ) Roo - Colonel in the Cocorite Regiment to have both his ears cut off , to receive as severe a flogging as the Surgeon attending may think he can bear without injuring his life , and to be banished from the Colony , not to return to it under pain of death .

http://caribya.com/curacao/weather/rain/ | Caribbean Curacao Weather Rain Rain on Curacao Photo credit : ยฉ Lidian Neeleman | Dreamstime . com Curacao is known for its very distinct rainy and dry seasons , which makes it easy for tourists to plan their getaways in order to avoid showers driving them indoors โ though running for cover is rarely necessary . In fact , rainfall is such a non - factor that the height of tourist season overlaps the heaviest months of rain . Curacao ' s location so near the equator means continued and steady warm weather throughout the year , but the cooling trade winds in the spring and occasional rain showers in the fall help to keep things from becoming unbearable . As previously mentioned , rain is not a burden on this island . Instead , it is so rarely an issue that locals welcome it . The first nine months of the year , the island sees little to no rain . During these months , the average cumulative amount of rain is between a half an inch and one and half inches . On occasion , the island may get up to two inches of rain , but it is rare . October , November , and December are the rainy season months , but even then averages stay below four inches . The typical pattern of rainfall here is short sprinklings that are hardly ever even strong enough to warrant an umbrella . They tend to occur overnight , leaving the days bright and sunny and just slightly cooler for active explorers . While you may be able to leave your umbrella behind , it is absolutely essential that you bring bug repellant , as the bug population makes itself better known after a shower .

http://carla.umn.edu/assessment/vac/Modes/p_3.html | Modes of Communication Using the Modes in Assessment To maximize learning , the three modes of communication must be considered as three parts of a single goal : communication . Keep the visual images of the NAEP and the Wisconsin model in mind . It is possible to consider the modes separately , but their strength is in their interrelatedness . Keep in mind also , that assessing the interpretive , interpersonal and presentational modes in a standards - based integrated performance assessment occurs throughout the unit of instruction , not necessarily at the end of instruction . The building blocks of related grammar and vocabulary will be Consider some projects that are often part of a world language classroom . For example , students often prepare a travel brochure or poster about a city or country where the target language is spoken . Think of the project with the three modes of communication in mind . The brochure or poster is the Presentational mode . To adhere to the characteristics of the presentational mode , the student needs to submit draft documents for feedback . The goal is a polished brochure or poster that can be displayed or shared with others because it has gone through revisions until it is โ ready to publish . โ The unit is not finished with the completion of the poster . What can the students do to meet the criteria of the Interpretive mode ? They could explore a variety of travel brochures and websites about places where the target language is spoken . As a final interpretive assessment , students could demonstrate understanding of a travel brochure in the target language by checking off statements on a worksheet that are true about the place described in the brochure , highlighting on the brochure where the information is found . In the Interpersonal mode , the brochures or posters produced by the students could be the basis for a discussion about what places the students would like to visit and why . Students could sit in pairs to discuss . The teacher can monitor the discussion while students could be asked to complete a peer assessment sheet after time is up . By looking at a project through the three modes of communication , the opportunities for students to use the language related to the theme multiply . Because the three tasks are interrelated , the learning links in the brain are strengthened . And all three modes of communication are valued in the assessment .
