http://classic-horror.com/reviews/psycho_1960 | Psycho ( 1960 ) Review Author Chris Justice Date 05 - 26 - 2005 Comments 8 Bookmark post Writing a review lauding the merits of Alfred Hitchcock ' s Psycho is like writing an essay on why breathing is important . Or better yet , why sex feels good . Talk about begging the question . Anyone who watches Psycho brings his or her own insights , cinematic IQ , prejudices , fears , and collective memories into the interpretation . And like any classic film , resonates with new meaning every time one watches it . Perceptions change , interpretations mutate , and assumptions evolve . If one goal of a good film review is to recreate the experience of watching the film , then reviewing is the equivalent of reveling in cinematic ecstasy . So beware , here comes the swoon . And I forewarn readers now : is one of the most important movies I have ever seen . Thus , my obvious bias . Hitchcock ' s masterpiece introduced me to three important cinematic realities . The first was Hitchcock himself and his many volumes of classic films . The second was the power of the director as auteur . And the third was that , at an early age , I realized how great movies operate on two levels . The first level is built upon their entertainment value , which lurks on the surface , dazzles viewers ' eyes , and evokes visceral emotions operates on both of these levels with profound skill . Yet as often as I have viewed this film , the less I seem to understand it . Sure , the plot is simple enough . But that second layer is so rich and intimidating ( How many books and articles have been written about this film ? ) that every time I view it I at one point become so entranced by the story ' s twists and turns that I abandon my reviewer ' s cap and forget to actually analyze anything . In fact , I would argue the film defies analysis . Investigations into the film to be his " little joke . " Perhaps more than any other movie in film history , reveals the brooding power directors have over their audiences . In Phoenix , Arizona , Janet Leigh plays Marion Crane , a secretary having an affair with a hunk named Sam Loomis ( a name John Carpenter later used for Donald Pleasence ' s character in Halloween ) . Crane wants more from their relationship , but they depart without resolving their future . Crane returns to her job in a real estate office and encounters a sexist cowboy buying a home for his soon - to - be - wed daughter . She eventually pockets the $ 40,000 used for this transaction and leaves with it to marry Loomis During her odyssey , she is stopped by a police officer that suspects something unusual about her . Languishing in guilt and confusion , she later exchanges her car at a used car lot and settles for the evening in the infamous Bates Hotel , where she encounters the even more infamous Norman Bates , played by Anthony Perkins in one of the seminal performances in Hollywood history . There she is murdered midway through the film in arguably the most analyzed scene in film history : the provocative " shower scene . " An investigation unfolds after Crane ' s death that is conducted by a detective , Milton Arbogast , who is hired by her former boss to retrieve the $ 40,000 . Eventually , the detective is murdered as well . Crane ' s sister , Lila , and Loomis resume the search for the missing Crane . What they unearth is a complex web of murders emanating within the Bates household full of psychoanalytical angst , Oedipal tension , and shattered identities . One of the unique qualities of is that the violence of the narrative is also perpetrated on the viewer . The fact that Crane ' s murder occurs halfway through the film is a powerful and innovative narrative tool that assaults the viewer ' s expectations about protagonists . Quite simply , they are not supposed to die halfway through the movie ! Of course , this aspect of the film is part of what makes the legendary shower scene so tragic . Viewed alone , the scene is powerful , but for some , it may not live up to its hype . But viewed In fact , Hitchcock took some chances with this story . He purchased the rights to Bloch ' s novel for $ 9,000 , but Paramount execs grunted when they learned of his project and refused to support it . Nevertheless , the astute Hitchcock made a deal with them : he would fund the film himself by using inexpensive Universal facilities and would waive his standard director ' s fee of approximately $ 250,000 per film . In return , he would own 60 % of the negatives . The director used several craftsmen from his famous television show Alfred Hitchcock Presents , to make the film , which ultimately cost him $ 800,000 to produce . The brilliance of Hitchcock was his ability to combine aesthetic skill with commercial success . His films are full of artistic and technical innovations , yet he , unlike his peers venturing into the cinematic vanguard , also found commercial success . Subsequently , Hitchcock constantly had an eye on the business side of movies , and he was keenly aware of the growing popularity of B - movie horror / monster films emerging in the 1950s . Hitchcock wanted to tap into this market , but he also wanted to do so with an original statement . The creation of Norman Bates , a kind , reserved , mama ' s boy - like man who seemingly could n ' t hurt a fly , was a startling new monster . Sure , Bates was n ' t the first cinematic psychopath ( Robert Mitchum in Night of the Hunter immediately comes to mind ) . But after Norman Bates , monsters rapidly morphed into real humans . They were no longer exotic " others " such as vampires , werewolves , or aliens from outer space ; they were normal people on the surface bubbling with psychotic cancers underneath and capable of horrific violence . In many ways , laid the groundwork for the modern slasher film . It established the victim as a daring , sexy female who in many ways threatens the patriarchal status quo . Crane sleeps with a married man , steals from a real estate company , escapes the police , and comforts a creepy male loner . The film also defined the slasher as a young , confused male full of psychological trauma . Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees are direct descendants of Norman Bates . The film also stamped the genre with another notable trend : the killer ' s only motivation However , as seminal as is , its brilliance is amplified when compared to its progeny . has yet to be effectively duplicated , because it can not be duplicated ; its formula can only be loosely followed . Even Gus Van Sant ' s 1998 remake , which was doomed from the start , is nothing more than a deliberate scene - by - scene recreation . Yet although laid a blueprint that has been emulated in varying degrees ever since , Hitchcock ' s original formula for slasher films is still hauntingly original . The protagonist is killed halfway through the film ; the villain is a transvestite ; the film is shot in black and white ( although the director had abandoned that formula several films ago ) ; a cagey and successful detective is quickly killed ( do n ' t the smart ones usually survive ? ) ; the film is shot in what is essentially two sets : the Bates hotel and the Bates But perhaps the most provocative aspect of ' s originality is the fact that the film virtually dismisses the notion of domesticity . The only footage of a " home " that we see is the Bates estate , but their " home " is as dysfunctional as they come . There is no anchor or base for the characters ; they all are drifters roaming the " outside " seeking answers to some kind of unspoken mystery . Crane is seeking a real relationship with Loomis , or money , or some kind of escape from her pedestrian role as a secretary ; Loomis is seeking Although the film abandons traditional portrayals of the stereotypical American home , a place where privacy is usually found in abundance , Hitchcock uses to construct an exposition on other definitions of privacy . Most of the film is a prolonged intrusion on the personal space of the characters and the viewer . As the camera constantly invades their personal space , our personal space as viewers is also penetrated . On one hand , Hitchcock frames places from high - angles or long - distance panoramic shots to highlight the privacy they offer , yet he shatters this intimacy by slowly poking the camera into those very private spaces . The early scenes of Phoenix are a perfect example . We move from Conversely , our personal comfort zone is frequently mocked by Hitchcock ' s various surprises . For example , the police officer that haunts Crane during her desert odyssey clearly senses trouble , but he never officially acts on it . The choke shots of his face clearly present him as a menacing authoritarian figure , but his actions pale in comparison to what one expects of him . He rather lightly lets Crane off in the desert , and he is even more impotent during the car sale . Another example of how Hitchcock raids our expectations occurs when Bates sinks the car containing Crane ' s corpse . As the wetlands slowly engulf the car , the timing of this submersion is important . At first , we might think , " Nobody is going to notice ? " But then the speed and efficiency in which it sinks convinces us . As soon as we feel comfortable again , the submersion stops . " Now what , " we think , only to have the car resume its descent . The point here is that Hitchcock almost The shower scene truly functions as the film ' s climax , yet it also marks the conclusion of Story 1 and the beginning of Story 2 . The shock of that scene resonates throughout the rest of the film . The scene also reminds us how invasive that camera can be : it has penetrated the most intimate of areas - a shower , where a beautiful woman is bathing . The scene required almost 70 camera angles and took one week to shoot . Ironically , the scene was shot toward the end of the film ' s Marion Crane ( Janet Leigh ) picks a bad day to take a shower in Alfred Hitchcock ' s Psycho ( 1960 ) . Bernard Hermann ' s score is equally mesmerizing . The screeching violins that sound like fingernails scratching a chalkboard echo throughout and are arguably one of the most noticeable compositions in film history . Hermann , who may own one of the most impressive resumes in Hollywood history with films such as Citizen Kane The Day the Earth Stood Still Vertigo North by Northwest Cape Fear , and Taxi Driver to his credit , worked frequently with Hitchcock , and by the time appeared , they had already collaborated on five films . Simply stated , is not without Hermann ' s haunting notes , which are as shocking and suspenseful as any of the visual depictions . Finally , another of ' s many contributions was that it essentially hammered the nails in the coffin of Hollywood ' s notorious Production Code . Films like Some Like It Hot may have purchased the coffin , nails , and hammer , but did the actual slamming . The shower scene alone dismantled at least three tenets of the Code : the visual depiction of blood , footage of a naked woman ( did she have to be taking a shower ? ) , and actual footage of a woman being stabbed repeatedly . The opening scenes of Crane wearing lingerie and sleeping with a married man certainly did n ' t help celebrate the Code ' s at times rigid and at other times absurd parameters . When was first released , reactions were mixed . Audiences wanted to see a " Hitchcock film , " with its lavish sets and colorful , complex vistas , but some were turned off by what they saw because clearly deviated from its maker ' s standard formulas . After all , the master of suspense ' s previous hits included North by Northwest Vertigo To Catch a Thief , and Rear Window . In this context , was radically different . Nevertheless , the film earned $ 15 million in its first year alone , which immediately became his most successful film to date . And then there is Janet Leigh ' s performance . And Anthony Perkins ' s . And the editing . And the wonderful set design of the Bates Motel and adjoining house . The list goes on . My definition of a great film is simple : the film may not be the best in any one category ( directing , acting , sound , etc . ) , but it certainly ranks very high in every category . is perhaps the greatest example of this definition . Trivia : The infamous shower scene has 90 edits in it . Anthony Perkins was in New York at the time doing a play , so a double was used in his place . Hitchcock used Bosco chocolate syrup for blood . In one of the only publicity stunts enforcable by law , nobody was allowed into the film after it had begun . Login to post comments Comments I agree with the review . This Submitted by Gary Bradley ( not verified ) on Mon , 2009 - 09 - 21 05 : 06 . I agree with the review . This film is amazing , but for me this is not Hitch ' s best nor even most important horror / slasher outing ; that honour goes to the delicious " Frenzy " . Underseen and underappreciated , " Frenzy " shook me up and changed me more than Psycho ever did . Check it out . Login to post comments I saw this film in NYC many Submitted by Anonymous ( not verified ) on Sun , 2009 - 12 - 06 10 : 37 . I saw this film in NYC many years ago on a date . I can not remember anything about the person , but I vividly rember screaming at the shower murder scene . A truly memorable and exciting film . Frenzy is a great film too , Submitted by Chris Justice on Sat , 2010 - 02 - 27 18 : 12 . Frenzy is a great film too , but it came several years after , and Hitchcock was in a very different place . Nevertheless , it would be fun to compare and contrast the two . - - - Chris Justice I actually think this is Submitted by Anonymous ( not verified ) on Mon , 2010 - 10 - 25 13 : 49 . I actually think this is Hitchcock s weakest movies , thanks to Joseph Stefano s script . I still feel sympathy for poor Norman , more ill than evil - precisely opposite seems to be true with American psycho s filthy sadistic perv Patrick Bateman , who was named after him . I do n ' t like this at Submitted by Wayne ( not verified ) on Tue , 2010 - 11 - 02 10 : 41 . I do n ' t like this at all . . .but that ' s cause of censorship . I first saw it on TV late at night when I was about 7 . My dad stayed up to watch it with me . Despite the fact that it was on late at night the shower scene AND Arbogast ' s murder were cut out ! Even worse the explanation at the end was edited rendering it incomprehesible . Since then I have seen it uncut - - - but first impressions are hard to shake . Whilst the Gus Van Sant 1998 Submitted by Lou . LaBelle ( not verified ) on Tue , 2011 - 04 - 05 15 : 24 . Whilst the Gus Van Sant 1998 version of Hitchcock ' s 1960 film Psycho is almost a shot for shot remake , there has always been some taboo surrounding the the newer version . Arguably the remake is extremely poor and evidently scores 4.6 / 10 where as the original scores 8.7 / 10 . What is it about the remake that makes it less aesthetically pleasing and such a disliked film , even though it is almost a exact reproduction ? My guess is because van Sant Submitted by Wayne ( not verified ) on Wed , 2011 - 04 - 06 04 : 49 . My guess is because van Sant dared to remake a movie that is considered a classic . Also , as u said , it ' s almost a shot by shot remake of the original which is kind of pointless . van Sant adds nothing to it at all . Why Van Sant ' s version is Submitted by bavafan ( not verified ) on Tue , 2011 - 08 - 09 07 : 46 . Why Van Sant ' s version is disliked ? A big reason is because the performances are Atrocious ! It ' s hard to decide who gives the worst performance : Anne Heche or Vince Vaughn . There ' s just no comparison with the original actors Janet Leigh and Anthony Perkins . Despite all the talk about it being a " shot - by - shot " remake , there are plenty of places where it deviates . Right of the bat , the first scene after the credits is staged differently than the original . Then there are | [

http://classicalwisdom.com/diogenes-of-sinope/ | by plato on April 24 , 2013 Diogenes of Sinope is often considered one of the more eccentric , or at the very least untraditional , of the ancient Greek philosophers . He is credited as being one of the founders of cynicism and practiced these ideals through the eccentricities that filled his life . Diogenes of Sinope It was his belief that all artificial growths of society , such as status and wealth , were unimportant , and could , in fact , be damaging to men โ s souls . Diogenes held open contempt for abstract ideals such as reputation , property rights , or patriotism to any city - state . He is often credited with the first use of the word โ cosmopolitan โ when he stated : โ I am a citizen of the world ( cosmopolites ) . โ While living in Athens , it is said that he resided in a large ceramic jar on the outskirts of the marketplace . He made a career out of begging and lying about ; all while surviving on a steady diet of discarded onions . During the day , he wandered the streets with a lantern because he was โ looking for an honest man โ . Diogenes was constantly dirty , disheveled , and often smelled of filth . He urinated and defecated in public , and it was not uncommon for him to literally spit in the faces of those who disagreed with him . For this reason , Diogenes was sometimes referred to as โ Diogenes the dog โ . Rather than being offended , Diogenes reveled in the idea of being more like a dog . A dog , he believed , was more in touch with nature and therefore more closely in tune with true happiness . The dog does not care for social status or material possessions ; the dog does not make himself a slave to the superficial desires that so plague the hearts of men . The dog lives life in the present and does not concern itself with abstract notions that might damage the soul . Diogenes and Dogs The philosopher believed very firmly that man is not above nature . We are inescapably a part of it , and the further we retreat from this truth , hiding behind our lavish houses and material treasures , the further we withdraw from true virtue . Whatever lessons you wish to learn about cynicism from Diogenes , you will have to do so indirectly . Although it is claimed he authored several books , letters and tragedies ; none of them have survived . So , it is left to us to learn through the anecdotes of his life . Fortunately , there seem to be no shortage of interesting stories regarding Diogenes of Sinope . One rather intriguing tale that demonstrates Diogenes โ particular brand of philosophy regards an altercation with Plato and a disagreement on the definition of โ man โ . As we โ ve said , Diogenes disapproved of abstract philosophy , and thus was a harsh critic of Socrates and Plato . At this particular time in Athens , Plato had given Socrates โ definition of a man as a โ featherless biped โ . This description was highly praised and admired by Athenian intellectuals and commoners alike . The only person who was n โ t impressed , it would seem , was Diogenes . It is accounted that upon hearing it ; Diogenes promptly plucked a chicken of its feathers , visited Plato at his academy , and then threw the featherless bird at the man โ s head . Diogenes declared , โ Behold ! I give you Socrates โ man ! โ It has been told that Plato was so shocked by this โ counter argument โ that he immediately added to his definition โ โฆ with broad , flat fingernails โ . The event stuck with Plato and he would later describe Diogenes as โ Socrates gone mad โ . While Diogenes did not care for Plato or his fascination with intangible philosophy , it appears he held even more contempt for ideas like material wealth and power . And he was not afraid to defy anybody who represented these ideas , even if that person was the most powerful man in the world . Diogenes and Alexander the Great Alexander the Great met with Diogenes one morning in Corinth . The conqueror had heard stories of โ Diogenes the dog โ and wished to meet the filthy philosopher . The legend goes like this : while Diogenes was bathing in the morning sunlight , Alexander appeared before him . The King of Macedonia asked Diogenes if there was anything he ( a man who seemingly had everything ) could do for him . The philosopher responded , โ Yes , stand out of my light โ . Alexander was said to have been so impressed with the remark that he then stated โ If I were not Alexander , I would wish to be Diogenes โ . Now there are a few interpretations to this story . Maybe Diogenes was sun bathing and did not appreciate the unwarranted shadow that Alexander cast . Or perhaps it means that Alexander , the man who exemplified the ideas of status and material wealth , was standing in the way of Diogenes finding his truth , his light . Despite the historical setting , the teachings of Diogenes have not been lost to the ages . While the man has long been dead and buried , his spirit is very much alive today . It is not unreasonable to draw a parallel between the ideas of Diogenes and modern cynics today . Diogenes โ rejection of modern values and material wealth is not unlike the hippy revolution of the late 1960 โ s . At the time the social experiment known as โ The summer of love โ rocked the social and political climate of the United States . It was fueled by a defiant generation that made it a mission to rebel against the conformist values of the Cold War era . And while these modern - day Diogenes โ took strides to find happiness in โ free love โ and returning to nature , the rest of the world looked on in disbelief . Charles Bukowski The ideals of Diogenes can be found in modern writers who have fueled what is sometimes referred to as โ The hipster movement โ . One of these authors is Charles Bukowski ; a man who lived his life trapped in back alleys and seedy bars . Through his writings he seamlessly sews the spirit of Diogenes within the pages of books about degenerates and losers who refuse to care about modern expectations and find their solace in a modern - day ceramic jar and a steady diet of whiskey . Jack Kerouac and his hipster anthem On the Road could also be considered a modern take on the life of Diogenes . Kerouac writes of young people who sought a life of free exploration , unfettered by the modern aspirations of status and wealth . It is not hard to see the essence of Diogenes reborn when Kerouac states , โ Man lowers his head and lunges into civilization , forgetting the days of his infancy when he sought truth in a snowflake or a stick . Man forgets the wisdom of the child โ . The children of Diogenes are the modern nomads and poetic beggars that wander Greenwich Village . They are the aging hippies found on the corner of Haight and Ashbury . They seem content enough to sit all day playing guitar and writing poetry on the terrible state of humanity . And while some homeless individuals have found their status in life through unfortunate circumstances , there are others who live the way they do very purposefully . They sleep when they want , and eat when they can afford it . They are not concerned with living in an upscale area or finding a job with good benefits . They wish only for their peace and ask that we stay out of their light . โ Diogenes of Sinope and the Modern Cynics โ was written by Van Bryan | [

http://classroom.synonym.com/advantages-pass-fail-grading-system-2561.html | Home Classroom The Advantages of a Pass / Fail Grading System By Maggie McCormick ; Updated June 25 , 2018 The Advantages of a Pass / Fail Grading System Pass / fail grading encourages students to dabble in new and interesting subjects without the pressure of earning an A or a B to stayon the Dean ' s list . A pass / fail grading system is one in which the student receives either a passing grade or a failing grade rather than a more precise rating of success . Any student that does work above a failing level - - defined by either the school or the instructor - - will pass the class . This type of grading system has been shown to have several advantages . Less Stress Students in a traditional grading system often feel stress to do exceptionally well on tests , papers and other assignments . When they receive only a pass or fail grade , they do not have to worry about a grade point average , which causes less perceived stress , according to a study of medical students conducted by the Mayo Clinic . Fear of failing is less of a concern when taking a class pass - fail . Improved Mood Less stress means that students under a pass / fail system have an improved mood due to less preoccupation with homework , upcoming exams and and papers required in a pass - fail course . However , the study shows that this is only a slight difference from students under traditional grading systems . The workload and course requirements are the same regardless of whether the student is taking the class for a letter grade . Group Cohesion Under a pass / fail system , students do not see other students as competition . Competition among students - - especially in cases where students are graded on a curve based on other students ' performance - - makes students less likely to work together . In a pass / fail system , students can freely work with other students . For instance , getting together in study groups can help students better understand and retain material . More Academic Risks Some students will avoid classes that they may not excel in because they are afraid that a bad grade will negatively affect their grade point average . Under a pass / fail system , students feel safer trying new things and may be more willing to take academic risks , especially at schools that do n ' t include pass / fail grades in GPA calculation . Trying new subjects helps students gain confidence and become more well - rounded . Fairness in Grading While some subjects , such as math and science , have objective grading systems , others are more subjective . There is no standard way to judge an art project or an English paper , for example . Under a pass / fail system students know that if they complete the work in a satisfactory manner , they can pass the class . Students often worry that they wo n ' t be judged fairly if a professor has a reputation for favoritism or arbitrary grading .

http://classroom.synonym.com/assess-listening-skills-6385739.html | How to Assess Listening Skills Knowing how to listen is the cornerstone to effective communication . Students can not be successful in school if listening skills are not developed and honed . Teachers can assess students ' listening skills by conducting a few simple activities . Record the results from the activities and develop an action plan addressing how to improve listening skills if needed . If you believe hearing is a problem , and not listening advise the student ' s parents to consult an audiologist . Perform a listening / writing exercise . Provide each student with an activity sheet you can obtain from Healthy Schools of Mississippi ( see Resources ) and either a pencil or pen . Read directions aloud and ask the students to write down exactly what you say . For example , ask them to place a dot on the letter " i . " Next ask them to write the word , Xerox in the spaces provided on the activity sheet . The idea is to have the students write and structure their paper according to your verbal directions . Review and answer questions based on the activity . Ask students to show the class the answer for each verbal command to determine if directions were followed . Furnish every student with a discussion activity sheet based on the first activity . Students will answer questions based on responses such as , " why do you think you responded incorrectly " or " does your response prove that directions may be ambiguous and need greater clarity ? " Related Articles Grammar Games With Active and Passive Voice How to Understand Scores From the ISEE Exam Classroom Exercises for Effective Interpersonal Communication Classroom Activities for Cooperative Learning Conduct a group listening activity where students can observe each other ' s listening skills . Divide the group into two teams . Have one team form an inner circle and the other team form an outer circle around team one . Ask the inner circle group to discuss a topic of your choice such as " animals " or an upcoming dance . While the inner group is chatting , ask the outer group analyze the inner group ' s listening skills . The outer group must rate each member of the inner group ' s listening skills from one being the lowest , " does not listen to speaker ; absorbed in own thoughts " to five being the best , " shows by comments that he or she understands the feelings behind others ' comments . " Rotate teams so the outer group becomes the inner group and the original inner group can do the rating . Assess this activity by measuring each student ' s involvement in the discussion . Use student - based ratings to assist you with your review . Tips Use your assessment to generate activities that will help students improve listening skills . Practice what you preach - - - evaluate your listening skills to ensure that you are an active listener . Get parents involved and share your assessment with student ' s guardians .

http://classroom.synonym.com/caused-downfall-feudalism-16285.html | What Caused the Downfall of Feudalism ? Feudalism was a hierarchical system of land use and patronage that dominated Europe between the ninth and 14th centuries . Under Feudalism , a monarch ' s kingdom was divided and subdivided into agricultural estates called manors . The nobles who controlled these manors oversaw agricultural production and swore loyalty to the king . Despite the social inequality it produced , Feudalism helped stabilize European society . But in the 14th century , Feudalism waned . The underlying reasons for this included warfare , disease and political change . And when feudalism finally came to an end , so too The Hundred Years ' War To succeed , feudalism required considerable manpower . Vassals and serfs worked the manor year in and year out , bound by law to a lifetime of labor . But when war broke out between England and France in 1337 , both nations undertook an unprecedented military buildup . This marked the start of the Hundred Years ' War , a series of intermittent conflicts that lasted until 1543 . In both countries , the army swelled its ranks with feudal laborers , undermining the manorial system while increasing the value of commoners by teaching them much - needed military The Black Death Ten years after the Hundred Years ' War began , the bubonic plague broke out in Europe . Spreading northwards from Italy , the bacterial infection known as the Black Death claimed at least a third of Western Europe ' s total population . With the young men of France and England off at war , agricultural output was already declining . Now there was a new challenge facing feudalism . Manor after manor suffered devastating losses . Conditions were so severe , in fact , that waves of laborers ran away to larger cities , an act that would Political Changes Feudalism was a coercive system that granted few individual liberties . Ancient laws kept peasants tied to the land , making their labor compulsory . Yet over time , concepts of individual rights gradually gained footing , especially in England . The 12th century reforms of Henry II , for instance , expanded the legal rights of a person facing trial . In 1215 , King John was forced to approve the Magna Carta , a document obligating the crown to uphold common law . Eighty years later , Edward I finally extended parliamentary membership to commoners . These developments Social Unrest By the 1350s , war and disease had reduced Europe ' s population to the point that peasant labor had become quite valuable . Yet conditions for the serfs themselves remained largely unchanged . They were still heavily taxed on wages kept artificially low . Unable to survive in these circumstances , Europe ' s peasantry revolted . Between the 1350s and the 1390s , uprisings took place in England , Flanders , France , Italy , Germany and Spain . After an English revolt in 1381 , Richard II promised to abolish serfdom . Though he later failed to End of the Middle Ages The end of serfdom meant the end of feudalism itself . Europe ' s manors could no longer function without a labor supply . As feudalism faded , it was gradually replaced by the early capitalist structures of the Renaissance . Land owners now turned to privatized farming for profit . Laborers began demanding - and were given - better wages and additional liberties . Thus , the slow growth of urbanization began , and with it came the cosmopolitan worldview that was the hallmark of the Renaissance .

By Ashley Portero Ancient Athens established the first known direct democracy . The Greek city - state of Athens established the first direct democracy around 508 B.C. This new system of governance was a unique democratic experiment where the people cast votes for legislation and executive bills in their own right , instead of through an elected representative . The Athenians ' democratic government consisted of the Assembly , the Council of Five Hundred and the courts , which created laws that abolished political distinctions between aristocrats and the middle and working classes . But participation in the democratic process still was not open to the masses . While Athenian citizenship was Origin While ancient Greece consisted of hundreds of city - state democracies by the fourth century B.C. , Athens was the longest - lived , the most stable and the most radical . The Athenian leader Cleisthenes introduced a system of political reforms called the demokratia โ which translates to โ rule by the people " - - in 507 B.C. , which led to the creation of the Athenian democratic constitution . Out of the estimated 250,000 individuals who populated ancient Athens , about 30,000 on average were adult males with benefits of full citizenship . Bodies of Governance The Assembly , the sovereign governing body of Athens , typically consisted of a quorum of about 5,000 citizens . Meetings were open to all male citizens and took place 40 times per year , where participants would draft laws and make political decisions regarding warfare and foreign policy via a majority vote . The Council of 500 consisted of 50 men chosen by a lottery from each of the 10 Athenian tribes . The selected men served on the Council for one year , where they would meet daily to deal with the day - to - day governance End of Greek Direct Democracy Although Athens โ direct democracy briefly shifted the balance of power to the poorer sections of the city - state โ a time period that saw the ascendance of ancient thinkers such as Aeschylus , Aristophanes and Socrates โ the system weakened as a result of the onslaught of the Peloponnesian War ( 431 - 404 B.C. ) . The democratic system was replaced by Athenian oligarchs on multiple occasions during the war , but was restored and flourished before succumbing to Macedonian forces in 322 B.C . Modern Examples of Direct Democracy While the founding fathers looked to ancient Athens as a framework for democratic governance , the writers of the United States Constitution did not favor a direct democracy . The Anti - Federalists โ who opposed the ratification of the Constitution โ argued for the populist government that allowed citizens to actively participate in lawmaking decisions . Although the Federalists clearly triumphed and established a representative democracy , state ballot initiatives and referendums survive as an example of direct democracy within the representative government . Switzerland survives as a rare example of a country that combines direct democracy ( at About the Author Ashley Portero has been covering state and national politics since 2011 .

http://classroom.synonym.com/classroom-behavior-6303858.html | Home Classroom What Is Classroom Behavior ? By Wanda Thibodeaux Teachers have a strong impact on classroom behavior . Teachers place a great deal of emphasis on modifying or managing classroom behavior . However , they rarely define distinctly what classroom behavior actually is , instead leaving others to discern a definition from a description of the behavior modification plans . Additionally , teachers do not always explicitly state the rationale and goals behind their behavior modification plans , which makes it difficult to assess the effectiveness of those plans . A definition of classroom behavior thus is necessary . Definition Business Dictionary defines behavior as the response of an individual or group to a stimulus . The stimulus may be an action , person or something in the environment . The response typically is an action . Classroom behavior thus is stimulus - driven responses that occur specifically within the classroom or how students are acting in the classroom in response to what is going on or present around them . Categorization Classroom behavior falls into two categories - - positive or negative . Examples of positive behavior include following directions , completing assignments and remaining attentive while the teacher speaks . Examples of negative behavior include being physically aggressive or threatening others , talking out of turn and playing spiteful pranks . Academic Achievement Teachers usually associate poor classroom behavior with poor academic achievement . For this reason , classroom management in classrooms usually revolves around behavior modification . However , a team researchers led by Joshua Breslau of the University of California , Davis , conducted a study published in the Pediatrics journal in 2009 that showed that inattentiveness is the only " bad " behavior that statistically has shown an impact on academic achievement . Teachers thus place a strong emphasis in their management plans on limiting student behaviors that may prove distracting to other students . Management Guidelines The way that a teacher manages a classroom directly influences the classroom behavior present in that classroom . School boards and government agencies such as the Department of Education thus take great pains to assess whether classroom behavior reflects effective management . The ERIC Clearinghouse on Handicapped and Gifted Children in Reston , Virginia , presents general guidelines for managing classroom behavior effectively . These include ( but are not limited to ) identifying the factors reinforcing behavior ; keeping data to evaluate modification progress ; looking at , using and combining multiple techniques for modification ; and focusing on Recess In recent years , many schools have decreased the amount of recess students have , but Dr . Romina Barros , professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University in New York , led a research study that concluded that recess improves classroom behavior . In response to this study , Dave Munger , who operates the Cognitive Daily website and holds a master of science education degree , points out that even though students with more recess ranked higher on behavioral ratings , the relationship between recess and behavior is n ' t necessarily causal .

By Jill Kokemuller ; Updated July 26 , 2018 Congress meets in the Capitol Building in Washington , D.C . The United States Congress is the legislative branch of government , which makes laws and passes bills . It is set up to balance the powers of the executive branch of government . Congress is made up of two parts - - the House of Representatives and the Senate . Even though Congress is the lawmaking branch of government , it has rules it has to follow too . These rules are spelled out in the U.S. Constitution . One of these rules is that Congress must meet at least once per year . The First Meeting The first Congress that met after the Constitution was in effect convened March 4 , 1789 . Article 1 , Section 4 of the Constitution set the original meeting on the first Monday in December , unless Congress passed a law to meet at another time , which it did on many occasions . In 1933 , the 10th Amendment to the Constitution changed the meeting date to January 3 , unless Congress passes a law to change the date . When Does Congress Meet ? For many years , Congress would meet in December and be done by May . At the time , travel was limited to carriages , horses and ships . Getting to the meeting was not an easy task . When the start of the session moved from December to January , sessions lasted into the summer months . When planes made the trip hours rather than days or weeks , Congress began meeting year - round , with members going home on weekends and holidays . Many members of Congress consider the time at home work as well , since Where Does Congress Meet ? The first few sessions of Congress were held in New York City , then in Philadelphia . After the first session of the Sixth Congress , the meeting moved to Washington , D.C. , where it has taken place ever since . Originally , the whole of the United States was along the East Coast , making the meeting only a few days ' journey from each state . As the country expanded , the length of the journey increased for many representatives . How Long Is a Session ? The Congressional calendar is set each year . In 2013 , for example , the House of Representatives have 126 scheduled meeting days , while the Senate is scheduled to meet approximately three weeks out of each month . The off - weeks are generally scheduled around holidays . Both houses have the month of August off and meet each week in June . Days may be half - days or full days to count as a day in session , and weeks may be three , four or more rarely five days long .

http://classroom.synonym.com/cultural-diffusion-silk-route-ancient-china-6945.html | Home Classroom Cultural Diffusion & the Silk Route of Ancient China By Laura Leddy Turner ; Updated June 25 , 2018 Cultural Diffusion & the Silk Route of Ancient China Cultural diffusion , or the spread of ideas and customs from one society to another , occurs in a variety of ways including migration , war and trade among diverse societies . The Silk Road of ancient China is an example of cultural diffusion occurring as a result of trade . Although the route began in about 138 B.C. as a means for China to export silk fabric - - a rare and valuable commodity - - trade along the Silk Road greatly promoted the exchange of products , ideas and practices between Oriental and Western civilizations . Silk Road Origins The particular route of the Silk Road changed over two millennia , but the general path began in China and connected Japan and Korea in the east , Central Asia and India in the south and Turkey and Italy in the west . The route included travel over both land and sea . The term " Silk Road " comes from a concept originated by explorer Baron Ferdinand von Richthofen in the 19th century to describe global highways of commercial trade that also led to cultural trade . Exchange of Cultural Motifs As trade along the Silk Road grew , Chinese weavers sought to design silks that would appeal to other cultures . The style of the Persians was reflected in Chinese weavers ' Tree of Life design , featuring scenes of saddled horsemen , and the roundel animal symbol . The use of gold - wrapped thread and intricate knots was influenced by the culture of India . The Byzantines , who developed silk production in Constantinople after two monks smuggled silkworms and mulberry leaves out of China , used the Assyrian two - headed eagle symbol in their silk designs Exchange of Artistic Culture The use of glassware was unknown in China before the introduction of high - quality blown glass from Egypt and Middle Eastern Arab cities . Chinese landscape painting was heavily influenced by India ' s Buddhist muralists and the Chinese in turn influenced the layered - plane treatment in Persian landscape art . Gold and silver pieces with Middle Eastern themes have been excavated from Chinese tombs . Islamic merchants are credited with introducing cobalt blue - and - white tin - glazed ware to China . The Chinese later applied this treatment to porcelain and exported it to the Diffusion of Ideas Technological advancements were also carried by travelers of the Silk Road . Inventions , such as paper , originated in China in the first century and eventually came into use throughout Eurasia . The water wheel originated in Roman Syria and examples can be found in China as well as Spain . Ideas that moved along the Silk Road include the use of herbs for medicinal purposes and theories about astronomy . The Buddhist religion moved from India through Central Asia to Tibet , China and Japan . Sufi teachers brought Islam from Western Asia into Central Asia , Iran Deadly Silk Road Stowaway The Silk Road likely was the conduit for the spread of bubonic plague that caused widespread death throughout Europe in the 14th century . Rodents in Central Asia had been known to carry the disease . It ' s believed that fur pelts bearing contaminated flea - eggs were transported from Central Asia to a Middle Eastern port . The eggs hatched and infested local rats which then made their way on board ships bound for Italy . Before long , the fatal disease spread from rats to people , creating an epidemic that became known as the plague .

http://classroom.synonym.com/data-collection-quantitative-methods-2856.html | Home Technology Data Collection Quantitative Methods By Damon Verial Quantitative data comes in many forms . Quantitative data is data in number form . Deciding on a method of data collection requires knowledge of the data type you ' re collecting . If you know beforehand what data analysis you will use , you can design an appropriate method of quantitative data analysis . By first deciding the data type , you will guarantee that both your data collection method and your post - collection analysis are appropriate . Nominal Nominal data takes the form of categories , even though it may seem as if categories in the form of words is not quantitative data . These categories should not have a hierarchical relationship . For example , race is a form of nominal data that takes on values such as " Caucasian , " " Asian " and " Hispanic . " Because there is no hierarchical relationship between these races , race is nominal data . Nominal data collection takes place through categorization , which may be done by the researcher or the subjects themselves . Any method Ordinal Ordinal data are similar to nominal data in that they fall in categories . The difference is that ordinal data has a hierarchy . For instance , weight categories in boxing or other competitive sports are examples of ordinal categories . The collection of ordinal data is similar to that of nominal data - - researchers must employ classification methods . However , because of clear " value " differences between categories , researchers may also employ other methods of analysis , such as weighing a person on a scale . Interval Interval data takes the form of numbers . These numbers can be integers or decimals , positive or negative . However , for data to be true interval data , data points with value " zero " must not be special in the data set . That is to say , " zero " means nothing for interval data . One example of such data is temperature measured in Fahrenheit . In Fahrenheit , " zero " implies nothing . Researchers measure interval data through direct measurement with the proper tools . Psychological assessments , such as IQ tests , Ratio Ratio data is interval data extended to a number line in which " zero " has meaning . An easy example of such data is temperature measured in Celsius . Fahrenheit measurements are directly mapped onto the Celsius scale . However , now the number " zero " has meaning : it is the temperature at which water freezes . The measurement of ratio data is similar to that of interval data . However , researchers must modify or create new scales if they want the number zero to have interpretable meaning .

http://classroom.synonym.com/deductions-single-person-income-taxes-19061.html | What Deductions Does a Single Person Get for Their Income Taxes ? By : Steven Melendez Reviewed by : Ryan Cockerham , CISI Capital Markets and Corporate Finance Updated November 02 , 2018 Just because you ' re not married or do n ' t have kids does n ' t mean you ' re not eligible for tax deductions . There are n ' t specific tax deductions for singles , but there are still plenty of deductions you ' re eligible to take . Some of the more common ones may pop up if you own your own home or business , donate to charity or incur medical expenses . Ultimately , many tax tips for singles are n ' t too different from those for married people . TL ; DR ( Too Long ; Did n ' t Read ) You can deduct a variety of business , educational and medical expenses on your tax return regardless of your marital status . Also , if you are actively contributing to a retirement account , this can also be an excellent way to reduce your overall tax bill . Things to Claim on Taxes While many people simply take the standard deduction on their taxes , some taxpayers can save more money by itemizing their deductions . For single people , the standard deduction is $ 6,350 in 2017 and $ 12,000 in 2018 . Deductions that you can claim if you itemize include donations that you make to charity . If you find yourself donating money or valuable goods to nonprofit organizations over the course of the year , make sure you get receipts and keep records of what you ' ve donated and how much it was worth . At the end of the year , this may bring you a helpful tax break . Additionally , if you own your own home and have a mortgage , you can likely take a deduction for the interest you ' ve paid on that loan over the course of the tax year . You can also deduct your state and local property tax . Whether you own or rent , you can deduct income and sales tax on your federal return . You can deduct medical expenses that you ' ve incurred over the course of the year , to the extent that they exceed 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income . This can include what you actually pay to providers like doctors and dentists as well as any costs incurred in traveling to medical appointments . Deducting Business Expenses If you run your own business either part time or full time , you can also deduct business expenses . This can include the cost of materials and supplies , communications expenses like postage or internet costs , the cost of running a home office or separate facility and the cost of business travel . These types of business expenses are filled out on Schedule C of your tax return , and they ' re separate from itemized deductions . Contributions to retirement accounts such as IRAs and 401 ( k ) s can also help you save on tax , whether you ' re single or married . Through 2017 , people who are employees can also deduct unreimbursed expenses that exceed 2 percent of their adjusted gross incomes , though this deduction is no longer available as of 2018 . You can only claim these expenses if you itemize your deductions . If you think something might be tax deductible , log the expense and save any receipts you get throughout the course of the year . Consult a tax preparer or the IRS for help if you ' re not sure . The Marriage Penalty or Bonus In some cases , simply being single can save you money on your taxes , depending on whom you marry . Because tax brackets are different for single people versus married couples filing jointly , different couples can end up paying more or less before and after tying the knot . These differences are usually referred to as the marriage penalty or bonus . Generally , couples with more disparate incomes benefit more in tax terms from marriage , and those with more similar incomes benefit less or even pay more . 2018 Tax Law Changes Some deductions are affected by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act , which changes many tax rules for 2018 . For example , the state and local sales tax deduction is now capped at $ 10,000 , while it was unlimited in the past . Employees can no longer deduct unreimbursed expenses . And the mortgage interest deduction is now limited to interest up to $ 750,000 , rather than $ 1 million as it was in the past . The standard deduction is higher in 2018 , which means some taxpayers may choose to take that $ 12,000 deduction rather than itemize on their returns . One group that will benefit from the new law is small business owners , who will be eligible for a new 20 percent deduction on income from their businesses . The deduction begins to phase out above $ 157,500 for single taxpayers . Tax bracket changes also mean many taxpayers will pay less , even if they take the same amount in deductions from 2017 to 2018 . 2017 Tax Law Under 2017 tax law , the state and local tax deduction is unlimited . The mortgage interest deduction is limited to interest up to $ 1 million on a loan . And the standard deduction for a single taxpayer is $ 6,350 , though taxpayers can also claim a personal exemption of $ 4,050 , which wo n ' t be available after 2017 . Taxpayers can also save if they incur unreimbursed employee expenses . About the Author Steven Melendez is an independent journalist with a background in technology and business .

http://classroom.synonym.com/did-printing-press-movable-type-affect-renaissance-22667.html | Home Classroom How Did the Printing Press and Movable Type Affect the Renaissance ? By Alana Shilling ; Updated June 25 , 2018 How Did the Printing Press and Movable Type Affect the Renaissance ? In 1452 , German engraver Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press and changed the course of history . Before Gutenberg โ s innovation , books were copied by hand in manuscript form โ the process was costly , time - consuming and left much room for human error . The printing press used movable type to transfer words to the printed page and allowed books to be produced cheaply and quickly . Although it sounds like a modest invention , Gutenberg โ s press was transformative to the process of printing and creating books . The invention shaped a historical Moving Beyond Manuscripts Although the Renaissance was a time of progress in the arts , sciences and politics , this time period was driven by a belief in the nobility of the individual and human intellect . Scholars known as โ humanists โ thought the key to attaining this nobility was the study of ancient Greek and Latin writers . However , the writings of those ancient authors were not always easy to find โ many humanists traveled across Europe in search of manuscripts containing their work . The invention of the printing press made it possible for ancient texts to be disseminated Reclaiming Lost Authors The printing press did not just allow humanism to flourish ; it also changed the very shape of knowledge . Before Gutenberg โ s invention , humanist study suffered because the works of ancient Greek writers remained elusive . In 1495 , Venice - based printer Aldus Manutius published a work by the Greek philosopher Aristotle . Widely available for the first time , Greek texts became widely accessible . Reading works that had previously only been read in Latin translation , citizens were able to now read texts by authors like philosopher Plato and the dramatist Sophocles . A New Reading Public Part of the Renaissance โ s transformative power extended beyond the cultural elite and had an affect on lower classes . This impact was due in part to the printing press , which did not just make books available for intellectuals ; it also made them available for an entirely new audience . Manuscripts , as you can imagine , had been costly while printed books were , in comparison , cheap . For the first time , merchants and shopkeepers could obtain wide array of books , from popular stories to political treatises . At the same time , From Renaissance to Reformation Literacy and the printing press arguably inspired one of the greatest features of the Renaissance to emerge : doubt . No longer content to accept information second - or third - hand , the public wanted to read for themselves and form their own opinions โ and the book they most wanted to read was the Bible . By making the Bible more accessible , new ideas about religion began to grow . In fact , one of the key ideas that motivated the Protestant Reformation sprang from the belief that spiritual connection must come " sola scriptura , " Resources โ The Printing Press , โ The History Guide โ Inventor of the Week , โ M.I.T . โ Typefaces as History , โ The Book Designer About the Author Alana Shilling is a contributor to several publications including " The Brooklyn Rail , " " Art in America " and the " Fortnightly Review .

http://classroom.synonym.com/difference-between-course-description-syllabus-3962.html | Home Classroom The Difference Between a Course Description & Syllabus By Kristine Tucker A syllabus list the instructor ' s requirements for the course . It ' s easy to confuse a course description with a syllabus because both offer details about specific academic classes . However , a course description is generally written to help students decide if the course is one they want or need to take . A syllabus lists the specific course requirements a student must complete , once she ' s actually registered for the class . Author Teachers and professors often help draft course descriptions , but much of the writing is done by administrators and department heads . Course descriptions help students determine whether prerequisites are necessary for particular classes and if they need certain courses to fulfill their academic or degree requirements . They also help students choose electives that suit their interests or goals . A syllabus is written by the teacher , instructor or professor and details specific dates , assignments and coursework that is necessary to obtain a passing grade . Logistical Details A course description provides a basic overview of what a class offers . A course description includes a course prefix , course number , course title , lecture and lab contact hours , semester credit hours , description of the class and prerequisites , according to Texas A&M University . It usually denotes what department is offering the course and what semester or quarter it ' s being offered . Some course descriptions list the professor or teacher and room number , but not always since those details often change from semester to semester . A syllabus is much more Structure A course description is usually written in paragraph form with complete sentences . A syllabus often contains timelines , calendars , outlines , bullet points and tables or infographics that quickly and concisely relay important information . Teachers and professors might include some commentary , such as the purpose or focus of the course , but most of the content is detail - specific . In addition to course objectives , required texts , assignments and grading criteria , a syllabus might also state the instructor ' s policies on late work , incomplete assignments , missed classes and make Long - Term Benefits Once you read a teacher ' s or administrator ' s course description and determine whether you want to take the course , you do n ' t usually need to refer to the description again . There ' s not enough specific information to help you complete assignments or accomplish academic tasks . On the other hand , a syllabus is your study guide throughout the entire course . You ' ll continually refer to it to remember important test or quiz dates , project deadlines and course requirements .

http://classroom.synonym.com/duty-ancient-egyptian-god-ptah-5400.html | Home Classroom What Is the Duty of the Ancient Egyptian God Ptah ? By Dan Ketchum The Temple of Ptah in Luxor , Egypt , stands in tribute to this god . Although often recognized for their architectural and technological advances , the ancient Egyptians were also a highly spiritual culture , one that believed in many gods and goddesses . Ancient Egyptian gods served as more than just objects of worship - - just as Khnum created the forms and shapes of living beings and Aha protected women and children during birth , the god Ptah had many duties , according to the beliefs of ancient Egyptians . Basics Each ancient Egyptian city had its own prominent god or goddess , who served as the town ' s principle divine force . Ptah - - also known as Phthah - - was the main deity of the city of Memphis , the ancient Egyptian capital city located south of the Nile River delta . Ptah resembled a mummy with a skullcap and a long , narrow goatee . He was closely associated with the war goddess Sekhmet and the youthful god Nefertem . As Creator Ptah ' s primary duty as a divine figure was creation . According to the religious text inscribed on the Shabaka Stone , a Nubian relic from around the 700s B.C. , Ptah performed one of the most important tasks in history : He created the world , or more precisely , he dreamed it into creation . At this time , Ptah was also believed to have created the deity Atum , who then ruled over creation . As Patron In addition to creating on a divine level , Ptah also served as a patron or protector of earthly creators and craftsmen . In particular , the ancient Egyptians believed that Ptah watched over sculptors and craftsmen who worked with stone . Some craftsmen of ancient Egypt believed that Ptah ultimately controlled their destinies . Because of his Ptah ' s duty as patron of craftsmen , the high priest of Ptah was known as the โ chief controller of craftsmen . โ Other Duties Ptah also served as a mortuary god and deity of the underworld . As such , images of him sometimes accompanied ancient Egyptians in their tombs . In this capacity , the people of ancient Egypt linked Ptah with other funerary gods , Seker ( or Sokar ) and Osiris , referring to the trio as Ptah - Seker - Osiris . Both Seker and Ptah were viewed as gods of regeneration . Because Ptah sometimes took the earthly form of a bull , some speculate that he may have also been regarded as a god of fertility .

By Jennifer Mueller ; Updated June 26 , 2018 The FBI Works for Which Branch of Government ? The FBI investigates possible violations of federal law for the Department of Justice and conducts intelligence operations within the executive branch of the U.S. government . With the broadest authority of all federal law enforcement agencies , the FBI protects American citizens against terrorist activity and foreign espionage as well as enforces federal criminal law . FBI agents also coordinate and provide advice and leadership to other federal , state and local law enforcement agencies . Creation of the FBI During the progressive era of the early 1900s , the federal government expanded to control and regulate many aspects of society that previously had been dealt with solely on a state or local level . Advances in technology and transportation created a need for law enforcement that extended beyond state lines . Encouraged by President Theodore Roosevelt , Attorney General Charles Bonaparte created a force of special agents to assist the DOJ in investigating violations of federal law . At that time , there were n ' t very many federal crimes . As the force grew , it took Evolving Focus and Expanding Function The growth of technology increased the need for agents with broad investigative authority . The FBI initially focused on federal crimes , including antitrust violations and white - collar and organized crime . However , because the CIA does n ' t have the authority to investigate the activities of U.S. citizens , the FBI has taken on domestic intelligence functions . Beginning in World War I , the FBI investigated and brought to justice enemy espionage rings operating with American citizens on U.S. soil . With both law enforcement and intelligence tools , the FBI has the ability to Bureau Structure and Organization More than 35,000 employees work in the modern FBI , led by a director who is appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate . Directors may only serve a maximum of 10 years . The FBI contains five separate branches , each led by an executive assistant director : the national security , criminal cyber , science and technology , information and technology and human resources branches . Aside from the FBI ' s headquarters in Washington , D.C. , there are more than 400 offices nationwide with employees who coordinate investigative efforts as well as work with Counterterrorism and Counterintelligence Since the September 11 terrorist attacks , domestic and international counterterrorism investigation has been a major focus of the FBI . To that end , the National Security Branch of the FBI was created in 2005 . The NSB ' s goal is to investigate potential terrorist and foreign intelligence groups operating on U.S. soil and thwart plans that constitute threats to national security . These efforts are aided by provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act that removed barriers preventing intelligence and law enforcement agencies from easily sharing information . FBI agents also provide leadership and guidance to local law References FBI : Frequently Asked Questions FBI : A Brief History of the FBI The United States Department of Justice : Federal Bureau of Investigation Homeland Security Digital Library : Federal Bureau of Investigation : National Security Branch Overview International Spy Museum : Educator Spy Guide : U.S. and World Governments About the Author Jennifer Mueller began writing and editing professionally in 1995 , when she became sports editor of her university ' s newspaper while also writing a bi - monthly general interest column for an independent tourist publication .

http://classroom.synonym.com/first-settlement-us-10021.html | Home Vocabulary What Was the First Settlement in the U.S. ? By Evan Centanni ; Updated August 03 , 2018 The United States ( U.S ) has a long and diverse history and has been settled by many different groups both before and since gaining independence . Because the U.S. was already settled when it came into existence during the American Revolution , the question of what the first settlement in America was is a complex one . Several modern towns claim to be the oldest or earliest . The facts depend on how the terms " U.S. settlement " and " first " are defined . Oldest City in America The ancestors of Native Americans first crossed into North America at least 13,000 years ago . Passage was possibly through Alaska before arriving in what are now the contiguous forty - eight states . Although these early colonists were hunter - gatherers who may not have had permanent settlements , later generations of Native Americans did settle into villages , towns , and even cities long before the arrival of European explorers . It ' s hard to know what the first settlement in America was but the largest one in what is now the U.S. was the city of Oldest Surviving Town Cahokia was abandoned before the arrival of Europeans in America but some other Native American settlements have survived until today . The Acoma Pueblo , an adobe village in New Mexico , is sometimes said to be the oldest continuously inhabited town in North America . It is believed that Acoma as the oldest city in America was first settled at least 1,200 years ago around the 9th century . Its location atop a desert mesa has helped protect it over the centuries . Today the village has a permanent population of only about 20 , but the Acoma people Oldest European Settlement The history of the U.S. as a country is of course tied to the arrival of European explorers and colonists in the Americas . Although Vikings from Scandinavia are known to have landed in North America centuries before Christopher Columbus did , their only known settlement was in what is now Canada . Columbus himself never set foot in what later became the fifty states . His arrival did mark the beginning of Spanish colonization in the New World . The oldest continuously occupied European settlement in the continental U.S. is St . Augustine , Florida which was founded in Oldest English Settlements Since colonial America was formed from 13 British colonies in North America , the first English settlements might be considered the earliest U.S. towns . The very first English settlement in what is now the U.S. was the Roanoke Island colony in North Carolina , which was founded in 1587 . However , when the colony ' s governor left for supplies and returned three years later , he found the settlement mysteriously deserted , and its ultimate fate is still not known today . The earliest long - term English settlement was Jamestown , Virginia which was founded by About the Author Evan Centanni specializes in world cultures and human geography .

The Emancipation Proclamation ostensibly freed all slaves living in areas controlled by Southern rebels . Nevertheless , on January 1 , 1863 , when the Proclamation came into effect , no African American slaves actually received their freedom . The recalcitrant Confederate states obviously ignored President Abraham Lincoln โ s order . Then , the Civil War pushed to a close in 1865 . Lincoln and his congressional Republican allies hoped that a Union victory would bring a permanent refutation of slavery . On December 6 , 1865 , the nation ratified the Thirteenth Amendment , abolishing slavery . Yet Thirteenth Amendment To make the spirit of the Emancipation proclamation national and permanent , President Abraham Lincoln persuaded Congress to pass the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution in 1865 . This legislation made slavery and other forms of involuntary servitude illegal in the United States , except as a punishment for convicted criminals . Henceforth , African Americans , and all others living within the boundaries of the nation , would be free . Black Codes Slavery had become the main labor source in the South . After the Civil War and the freeing of the slaves , Southern plantation owners lost their workers . They began to conspire , through the political process , to render the Thirteenth Amendment ineffectual in protecting African Americans . To force the former slaves to work , elite Southerners instituted a series of Black Codes . These laws applied only to African Americans .

http://classroom.synonym.com/make-opening-statement-mock-trial-4081.html | How to Make an Opening Statement for a Mock Trial If you need to write an opening statement but are n โ t a lawyer , you might be getting ready to take part in a mock trial . Mock trials are immersive learning experiences that provide students with the opportunity to learn about the justice system while enhancing academic skills . You never get a second chance to make a first impression , and the opening statement is where that first impression takes place during a mock trial , which is why it โ s so important to write a good one . Opening Statement in a Mock Trial An opening statement is basically an introduction to the nature and facts of a case . Given at the beginning of a trial , an opening statement is an opportunity for lawyers on both sides to give the jury a brief overview of the case , and outline the key evidence that you will present . How you write your opening statement depends on which side of the case you are writing it for . Opening Statement for the Prosecution / Plaintiff If you were assigned the role of attorney for the prosecution or plaintiff , you will be the first to deliver your opening statement , which means yours is the first side the jury will hear . The purpose of your opening statement is to highlight the key facts of the case and circumstances surrounding it , summarize critical evidence and identify the request for relief that your client is seeking ( jail time for criminal cases or money for civil cases ) . Related Articles How to Outline a Case for Legal Studies How to Write an Essay on Conflict How to Improve Debating Skills How to Write the Conclusion for a Persuasive Essay Opening Statement for the Defense If you get the role of defense attorney , you will give your opening statement immediately following the prosecution or plaintiff โ s statement . Yours is the last thing the jury will hear before the questioning begins . Remember that as the defense attorney , your role is not to prove your client โ s innocence ( he โ s already presumed innocent until proven guilty ) , but rather to call the validity of the prosecution or plaintiff โ s case into question . The purpose of your opening statement is to essentially deny the claims made by Features of a Good Opening Statement No matter what side of the case you are on , your opening statement should include the name of the case , your name , your client โ s name , your opponent โ s name and a summary of the key facts and evidence . A good opening statement is one in which you provide a complete and compelling narrative of events that supports the side you represent without going into too much detail or making specific arguments . Strong opening statements make it easy for a jury to understand and remember by providing a roadmap of the case Opening Statement Pointers Do write a compelling opening statement that clearly identifies the most important aspects of the case as it relates to your side . Lay out how you expect the trial to proceed and how you expect witnesses to testify . Memorize your opening statement . Knowing it by heart will make a better impression on the jury than if you read from a paper . Use proper body language and tone of voice to make a favorable impression as you deliver your opening statement . Last , but not least , do request a specific verdict . End the opening Do n ' t try to make specific arguments in your opening statement . Avoid bringing up legal principles or making arguments about how the law may apply to the facts of the case . Do n ' t mention any testimony or evidence that you can not successfully back up during the trial . Do n ' t bog the jury down with too many details . Avoid exaggerations , overstatements and repetition of facts that are not in dispute .

By Contributor How Many Credits Do You Need for a Master of Business Administration Degree ? A master ' s degree in business administration is one of the most prestigious degrees that a university offers . MBA programs instill in students strong business acumen and teach them to be future leaders in the business world . Many MBA students complete their programs while working full - time , since many universities offer evening classes . Most day programs can be finished within two years with full - time classes , or four years with a part - time curriculum . Requirements MBA students follow a rigorous curriculum requiring students to complete 18 to 40 credits of required core coursework in the first year . Classes are usually between 3 to 5 credits . In addition , they need to take 30 to 50 credits of elective coursework in their second year , which is around 12 to 20 classes . These electives may include field - study classes that allow students to practice what they have learned in real - life business settings . Classes An MBA curriculum may offer classes on strategy , management , finance , organizational design , operations and marketing . These classes are taught by professors who are scholars in their field , as well as by established professionals who have years of experience in the business world . Many programs such as the one offered at Harvard Business School allow students to cross - register in classes in other graduate programs . Schools Schools that offer MBA degrees range from prestigious Ivy League universities to schools that grant an online MBA degree . There are also many competitive international universities that offer an MBA degree , such as Institut Europรฉen d ' Administration des Affaires ( INSEAD ) and International Institute for Management Development ( IMD ) . Magazines such as Business Week and U.S. News & World Report publish rankings of business schools annually . Business school rankings are important because employers place emphasis on where candidates received their MBA degree . Considerations There may be universities that offer dual - degree programs , where students can pursue an MBA degree simultaneously with another degree . Credits needed for a dual - degree program depend on agreements between school departments , but they are usually around 75 to 100 credits in total . Potential Students can gear their MBA curriculum toward a certain specialty . They may take more classes in a particular area , such as strategy , communication , information systems , accounting , entrepreneurship , international , marketing and nonprofit . Many students who graduate from business school eventually work in upper management in consulting , at investment banks and multinational corporations , and at foundations .

Pre - pharmacy Coursework All pharmacists in training must take pre - pharmacy coursework through a school of pharmacy . Undergraduate degrees are not required by many pharmacy schools , but they can be helpful in helping the student to understand some of the material learned during the pharmacy coursework , which is heavily based in math and sciences . This pre - pharmacy coursework takes most students two years to complete . Some students with recent degrees might be able to cut down on the amount of coursework they are required to take in the pre - pharmacy program if they had similar Professional Training The next step is the professional training . These classes are taken after the pre - pharmacy coursework has been completed , and these classes , coupled with the internships last about 4 years . This professional training is the practical material taught to students seeking their pharmacy degrees . During this time , labs will be taken as well as more focused coursework . Once the classroom training is completed , the student will be sent to do their hands - on clerkship ( internship ) at a pharmacy in the area . Professional training coursework can take just Clerkship / Intership Training This last portion of the professional pharmacy degree program lasts about 10 months , and it is a program in which the student will work under close guidance in a pharmacy assigned by the school .

http://classroom.synonym.com/materials-absorb-reflect-solar-energy-8878.html | Home Science Physics Energy Materials That Absorb & Reflect Solar Energy By Serm Murmson ; Updated April 25 , 2017 Every material absorbs and reflects some solar energy . However , some materials absorb far more than they reflect , and vice versa . The amount of solar energy a material will absorb or reflect depends on a number of physical properties . Dense materials tend to absorb more solar energy than less dense materials . Color and coating also affect the amount of solar energy that an object can absorb or reflect . Material Properties As the density of a material increases , its ability to absorb solar energy typically also increases . For example , dense materials , such as adobe , concrete and brick , absorb a large amount of solar energy . Less dense materials , such as Styrofoam and some wood , do not absorb as much solar energy . These properties may vary according to the coating of the material . For example , if a dense material such as concrete were coated with a highly reflective coating , it would not absorb as much energy . How Does Color Affect Absorption and Reflection ? Solar energy reaches us at different wavelengths . The different wavelengths associated with visible light make up the different colors of the rainbow . When we see a material ' s color , we are seeing the reflection of that wavelength of light . For example , a blue material reflects blue light . White materials reflect a large amount of visible light . Black materials absorb a large amount of visible light . Therefore , darker materials will absorb more solar energy than lighter materials . Sciencing Video Vault Where Does the Energy Go ? When a material absorbs solar energy , the energy is transferred to the atoms in that material . Eventually , this material is released as heat . Depending on the properties of the material , this process can occur at different speeds and intensities . For example , concrete will release heat slowly , whereas a piece of metal might radiate heat quickly after absorbing it . The difference in heat emission is related to the difference in thermal conductivity of the materials . Metal conducts heat more readily than concrete . Therefore , heat will spread through metal quicker How Can We Use This Knowledge ? We can use the knowledge of material properties in order to construct efficient devices , buildings and other technology . For example , material properties related to heat emission are extremely useful in building passive solar structures . In a passive solar building , it is important to use material that will store the day ' s solar energy and slowly emit it over night . In building design , this property is called a material ' s " thermal mass . " About the Author Serm Murmson is a writer , thinker , musician and many other things .

http://classroom.synonym.com/minimum-hours-part-time-24444.html | Home College What Is the Minimum Hours for Part Time ? By Bibiana da Silva ; Updated September 11 , 2015 Part - time employment is ideal for a schedule that involves heavy school and family obligations , which are arguably jobs of their own . When an employer advertises a part - time job , though , it is n ' t always clear how much of your time the position requires . That ' s because the definition of part - time is n ' t set in stone . Part - time vs . Full - time According to the U.S. Department of Labor , the Fair Labor Standards Act does not define part - time work . Since this may vary between employers , it ' s impossible to determine what the term " part - time " means in a job ad without further explanation . It ' s likely that the employer will provide more information at the job interview , or he expects you to tell him how many hours you can work . Pay Compensate for working fewer hours by looking for jobs with higher pay . For example , you have to work twice as many hours at a job that pays $ 10 as you would at one that pays $ 20 to earn the same amount of money . Ensure that you work enough hours by subtracting your costs to work - - - such as transportation and work attire - - - from your net pay . If it ' s not enough to meet your needs , ask for more hours or find another part - time job . Employee Benefits Some employers regard part - time employees differently when it comes to health , retirement , unemployment and vacation benefits . Whether an individual employer provides them , and to what degree , depends on the employer , as well as state law . Ask about this before accepting a job offer if benefits are a high priority for you . Work - Life Balance Choose your hours based on your life schedule , not the other way around . While it may seem feasible to work every hour you do n ' t have school or family responsibilities to attend to , doing so will make you exhausted and unable to do well at either . Set aside at least seven hours to sleep , three hours to eat and time to travel to and from your destinations each day . Fit work hours in around this and your other obligations , and take time at least once a week to relax .

http://classroom.synonym.com/money-back-money-order-didnt-use-23853.html | How Do I Get Money Back From a Money Order I Did n ' t Use ? Westend61 / Westend61 / GettyImages By : K.A. Francis Reviewed by : Alicia Bodine , Certified Ramsey Solutions Master Financial Coach Updated October 20 , 2018 If you bought a money order , but now you do n ' t need it , you undoubtedly will want that money back . Cashing a money order that you did n ' t use depends on the issuer of the money order and whether you have endorsed it to the intended payee . Understanding Money Orders and Checks A check is an instrument written off the balance of your bank account . A money order is a financial document that you paid to purchase up front . It carries the same value as cash . A primary difference between the two is that if you write a check to a recipient and then change your mind about completing the transaction , you simply can run the check through the shredder to discard it . It is n ' t that easy with a money order . Unlike checks that can come back for insufficient funds , a money order provides guaranteed funds . This is why money orders often are preferred over checks by some businesses . However , not every company accepts money orders . Take it to the Bank If you have a bank account , you can deposit the money order into your account , provided you have n ' t written on it . If the money order is blank , put your name in the recipient ' s area and endorse the back of the money order . Then you can either present it to a teller . If you do n ' t have a bank account , many banks such as Chase , Wells Fargo and Bank of America will cash a money order for a fee . Each bank has its own set of criteria for cashing money orders , so check with the bank to find out what exactly you need to do . Each location also has its own set of requirements for cashing money orders that are made out to someone else , so you will need to visit the bank and inquire what the exact procedure is . Head to the Original Location Take the money order back to its place of purchase to try to cash it . Many sellers of money orders , such as the U.S. Postal Service , cash them if they have the cash on hand , while some sellers might not cash them at all . However , calling the location and asking ca n ' t hurt . Also , it would be beneficial to take both portions of the money order with you : the money order itself and the tab that serves as your receipt . Visit Grocery or Department Stores Your local grocery store might be an option for cashing a money order . Check with the store to determine the requirement for cashing a money order . For example , a grocery store might cash a money order only up to a certain limit , such as $ 500 , or might only cash orders issued from that store . Use Check Cashing Stores If check cashing stores are in your area , this is another option for cashing a money order . Just like banks , each check cashing location sets its own rules and fees for cashing money orders . Beware , though , that if you go this route , the cost most likely will be much higher than at a bank . Western Union , for example , requires purchasers to fill out a form and pay a fee of $ 15 to get a refund . It also takes 30 days for Western Union to process that request . About the Author K.A.

A college degree is increasingly important in a service and skill - oriented world , and many good jobs require at least some college education . While college attendance is rapidly increasing among high school graduates , not all students attend college , and many either take more than four years to finish or drop out . Students living in poverty are less likely to attend college than other students , and several other factors can affect college attendance . College Attendance Rates In 2016 , the most recent year for which statistics are available , the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 69.7 percent of students who graduated high school in 2016 were enrolled in college . About 49 percent of these students are enrolled in community colleges , according to a 2017 report issued by the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center . College Attendance Factors A number of factors play a role in a student ' s decision to attend college . Family environment is particularly important ; children whose parents do n ' t value education , do n ' t encourage them to go to college and do n ' t help them with the college application process are less likely to choose higher education .

Although some people might say it โ s the internet , we might never have reached that level of knowledge without the printing press . In fact , there are many answers to the question โ Why was the printing press important ? โ Without the printing press , we would n โ t have newspapers , and libraries would be luxuries reserved for the fortunate few . That is because before the invention of the printing press , books had to be copied by hand , and most books were After the invention of the printing press , books , broadsheets and other printed materials could be manufactured en masse , allowing publishers to disseminate information to a wider audience and giving more people the opportunity to learn to read and write than ever before . Before the printing press , literacy and learning were reserved for the upper classes . The printing press eventually became a great leveler , much like the internet is today . What year was the printing press invented ? Where was it invented ? The answers depend on who you ask . Related Articles The Roman Catholic Church ' s Accomplishments in the Medieval Period Businesses That Were Founded During the Renaissance Period Inventions of the 1820s Inventions of the Phoenicians What Is the Greatest Invention of All Time ? If you ask 10 people the question โ What is the greatest invention of all time ? โ you might receive 10 different answers . The irony is that if any of those inventions were created in the time before the internet , we would n โ t know about them without historical records kept in books . Although some history comes from handwritten accounts like diaries and census information , the majority of it comes to us in the form of ubiquitous secondary or tertiary sources , namely books . Without books , humanity might never have built the What Year Was the Printing Press Invented ? The answer to the question โ What year was the printing press invented ? โ depends on which printing press you โ re talking about . Historians disagree on the origins of the first printing press , but two major ones coming from distant parts of the globe both bear the distinction of being first of their kind . Most historians agree that the first printed books came from China . The oldest printed book ever discovered is " The Diamond Sutra , " which dates back to 868 A.D. Other incomplete printed materials survive from an earlier date . To print " The Diamond Sutra , " ancient Chinese printers used a woodblock method_ . _ Woodblock printing requires hand - carving symbols backward onto blocks of wood . Printers then ink the wood blocks and transfer the symbols onto paper , using the blocks like stamps . Moveable - type printing presses would not come until more than a century later . Historians believe that this type of printing press was invented by Bi Sheng in Yingshan , China around 1,000 A.D. To create his press , instead of wood , Bi Sheng used baked clay tiles that could be rearranged to fit into an iron frame . Bi Sheng โ s invention allowed scholarship to flourish in China for hundreds of years . In the subsequent 200 years after its invention , the middle class grew , and collecting books became a status symbol . Wang Chen , a magistrate , developed a different structure for the printing press in 1297 . Instead of using Bi Sheng ' s clay and iron structure , Wang Chen returned to wood . Wood - block printing before Bi Sheng was unwieldy because the printers made the type out of wood that was too porous , making reuse of the blocks difficult if not impossible . This negated any potential speed in reproducing texts the printers hoped to gain with their press technology . Wang Chen , however , solved the issue of the wood blocks โ reusability The Gutenberg Printing Press Europeans would not possess printing press technology for another 150 years . The man who developed the European version of the printing press was Johannes Gutenberg . A goldsmith , Gutenberg was skilled in working with metals in fine detail . He used his time as a political exile in France to tinker with printing press variations until he returned to Germany to show off his invention in 1450 . Rather than wood , Gutenberg utilized metal , creating a small print block for each individual letter . The printmaker could then move these letters around to form new words , paragraphs and pages . After the printmaker was satisfied with the letter blocks โ new order , he would then set them into place . Metal letter blocks were much more durable than their wooden counterparts , allowing Gutenberg to print identical pages in vast quantities that had never been seen before . Gutenberg even invented an ink specifically designed to work with his printing press . Where Have I Heard the Name Gutenberg Before ? You probably heard the name Gutenberg in reference to the Gutenberg Bible . Before the days of mass printing when Bibles became so commonplace that there was at least one in every hotel room , producing such a valuable , thick book was a costly enterprise . Such a task usually required thousands of man hours , with monks copying out scriptures by hand in their monasteries . In 1452 , Gutenberg produced 180 copies of his Gutenberg Bible , which was the first book printed in entirety on a printing press in the western world . Although 180 copies seems like a paltry number by today โ s standards โ bestselling authors sell millions of copies of their books โ producing 180 copies in such a short span of time was a major feat in 1452 . A single monk could not have copied that number of Bibles in his lifetime . Why Was the Printing Press Important ? You might be quick to answer the question โ Why was the printing press important ? โ with statistics about the speed of printing . With the printing press , printers could create more books and share more knowledge than ever before . However , the fact that the printing press sped up the transfer and dissemination of knowledge is only half the answer . When asking how the printing press changed the world , the answer does n โ t lie in how the printing press worked but rather lies in what it printed . The printing press came into a Europe that was on a precipice . Numerous Catholic priests were speaking out against the church . In addition to decrying papal excesses , these priests believed their religious practices were ripe for change . Some , like Jan Hus , Martin Luther and others , thought that Christianity should be centered on the individual believer โ that the common man did not need a priest to intercede between him and God and , relating to the printing press , that religious services including the reading of the Bible should occur in vernacular language The church met these ideas as heresies . Jan Hus was burned at the stake , and Martin Luther was exiled . However , because of the printing press , their ideas spread . Without the printing press , it โ s possible that the Protestant Reformation would never have happened . Thus , we can say without a doubt that the printing press changed the world .

http://classroom.synonym.com/suffixes-make-noun-adjective-3168.html | Home Vocabulary Suffixes That Make a Noun Into an Adjective By Christopher Cascio Understanding how suffixes can transform nouns into adjectives is important when trying to express yourself competently and clearly . One way to form an adjective is to add a suffix to a noun , thereby transforming it into a modifier that can either be used before the noun to be modified , or after a static verb , such as " is " or " seems . " However , there are n ' t any concrete rules for adding these suffixes . What we have instead are some patterns that guide us when constructing these words , patterns based upon the type of modification being implemented . Adjectives of Relation Certain suffixes will transform a noun into one that modifies another according to a state of being . For example , the suffix " - al " can be added to the noun " accident " to form the adjective " accidental , " which will relate any noun it is paired with to the state of being an accident . Adjectives that relate a noun to a quality can also be formed by adding the suffix " - ary " or " - ous , " such as constructing the adjective " honorary " from " honor , " Adjectives that Express Nature Adjectives can also be formed that will modify a noun and express an aspect of its nature . These suffixes are : " - ic , " " - ical , " " - ish , " and " - ous . " The word " photograph " can be transformed into " photographic " simply by adding the suffix . However , some nouns require a change in spelling . " Athlete " and " base " must have the final " - e " dropped before adding the suffixes to construct " athletic " and " basic . Adjectives of Fullness The suffix " - ful " can be added to a certain nouns to construct adjectives that express how the noun to be modified is full of the quality expressed by the adjective ' s root . In this way " skill " becomes " skillful " and " wonder " becomes " wonderful . " However , some constructions require spelling changes : The " - y " in beauty becomes an " - i " in the transition from " beauty " to " beautiful . " The " - e " in " awe " is dropped Adjectives that Convey Similarity The suffixes that express how a modified noun is like the root of an adjective are " - like , " " - ly , " and " - y . " They are placed at the end of a noun , often with no spelling changes , and transform the nouns like " child , " " friend , " and " rain " into " childlike , " " friendly , " and " rainy .

Each cube represents one unit , and each has an opening on one side that allows it to connect to another cube . Unifix cubes are typically used in lower elementary grades , primarily kindergarten through third grade . Use a variety of Unifix cube activities to practice counting , sorting , comparing , addition , subtraction or multiplication . Manipulatives like Unifix cubes help make math ideas more concrete and can be especially helpful for students with learning difficulties . Ways to Make a Number Use Unifix cubes for simpler math activities in kindergarten or first grade . For example , choose a number no higher than 15 , and ask children to use their cubes to show different ways to make that number . Children will need a variety of colors . To make 10 , for example , students could connect nine red cubes and one yellow cube or seven green cubes and three white cubes ; all cubes have the same value . Challenge students to think of all the possible combinations for the given number . This activity reinforces counting skills Cube Subtraction Split the class into partners and give each partnership a small collection of Unifix cubes . Colors do not matter in this exercise . Each partnership also needs a large piece of construction paper or card stock , folded in half . Students must stand the paper upright in front of them . Partners will need to count the total number of cubes in the collection . Then one partner will close her eyes while the other hides some of the cubes under the paper . The other partner opens her eyes and guesses how many cubes are hidden . Sciencing Video Vault Measurement Unifix cubes are helpful tools for early measuring activities , because they snap together and create a line to measure with . Assign a variety of objects of different lengths for students to measure with their cubes . Have them compare how many cubes are needed to measure a small object like a pencil and a larger object such as a desk . Students can also measure each other . A child will lie down on the floor in a straight line while a partner connects cubes alongside him from the base of his foot to the tip of his Comparing Numbers Children can begin learning to compare numbers using Unifix cubes to help visualize their differences . Choose two numbers and ask students to build the numbers with cubes . You can refer to the connected cubes as " cube trains . " For example , if one of the numbers is five , students would connect five cubes to make a five - cube train . Cubes should be all the same color . Students will then choose a different color to build the second number . By lining up their two cube trains , they will be able to About the Author Rachel Pancare taught elementary school for seven years before moving into the K - 12 publishing industry .

http://classroom.synonym.com/ways-dead-skin-off-hands-17720.html | Home Lifestyle The Best Ways to Get Dead Skin Off of Your Hands By Kimberly Johnson Manual and chemical exfoliation gets rid of dead skin . A little dry skin happens to the best of us ; but if your hands are starting to look downright reptilian , it โ s time to take action . Those layers of dead - skin buildup are more than just an embarrassment when facing your manicurist - - they can actually prevent moisturizers from penetrating and softening the skin . A little gentle exfoliation is the best way to get rid of that crusty , dusty skin , as it is noninvasive , safe , inexpensive , and easy to do at home . Step 1 Fill a bowl with 4 tablespoons of white granulated sugar , brown sugar or table salt . Avoid using rock salt or larger granules . Step 2 Pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the bowl and stir the mixture using a whisk . If a thinner scrub is desired , add more olive oil 1 teaspoon at a time until the solution reaches the consistency you desire . Step 3 Scoop out 1 tablespoon of the scrub mix and place it in the palm of one hand . Rub your hands together gently to begin exfoliating off the dead skin . Rub the backs and sides of each hand and in between the fingers . Continue massaging for at least two minutes . Step 4 Rinse your hands well using warm water until all granules are gone . If your hands feel greasy , wash them with a tiny drop of mild cleanser . Step 5 Pat your hands dry using a towel . Step 6 Apply a lotion containing a 5 - to 12 - percent solution of alpha - hydroxy acid , beta โ hydroxy acid or glycolic acid to your hands every night before going to bed . These acids help to detach any remaining dead skin cells from your hands and speed cell turnover , according to Dr . Christiane Northrup . Things You Will Need Bowl White sugar , brown sugar or salt Olive oil Whisk Mild cleanser Lotion with alpha - hydroxy acid , beta โ hydroxy acid or glycolic acid Airtight container Essential oil , optional Tips Store the unused hand scrub in an airtight container in the refrigerator . Add fragrance to the hand scrub by adding two to three drops of the essential oil of your choice before you add the olive oil . Repeat the exfoliation process every other day . Avoid making more than two or three days worth of scrub at a time , as the sugar and salt will dissolve over time , removing the exfoliation property . Apply moisturizer to your hands after rinsing off the scrub ; this will lock in moisture . After applying moisturizer to your hands before bed , slip on a pair of clean cotton gloves and sleep with them on to increase the moisturizing action .

http://classtalkers.com/cancer-and-cures/the-soursop-annona-muricata-graviola-uses-and-benefits-in-curing-cancer/ | The soursop ( Annona muricata graviola ) uses and benefits in curing cancer cancer and cures natural healings | January 21 , 2013 | Comments 2 n / a shares First Share ? Tweet What ' s This ? Introduction This project seeks to highlight the uses and benefits of soursop , which is defined as a tropical fruit soursop tree bark green and sweet flavor , containing black seeds , whose flesh is white and sweet . Its main feature is the ability it has to remove cell cancer รญgenas , without causing damage to other healthy cells , a fact that places its potential as an alternative treatment to cancer , well above the conventional chemotherapy . On the other hand the soursop has some anti - bacterial qualities , which make it an effective remedy against infections by bacteria and fungi . The research of this project is performed by the interest and get to know the properties of both medicinal and nutritional soursop as this fruit apart from being very pleasant to the palate also has essential nutrients for healthy body , because the pulp is comprised mainly of water ; besides providing vitamins salts and minerals . And has a very smooth texture is ideal for making juice , desserts , ice cream , among other things . But what stands between the medicinal properties is that it is anti - cancer , for its leaves contain some essential natural compounds to fight cancer . Followed by a host of other benefits to be provided to us as antiparasitic , vasodilator , antispasmodic , antidiabetic , and others , that we will present in the course of this project . And the best part is that each of the properties we acquire from all parts of the plant such as pulp , bark , leaves , stems , and roots , in short , everything that has the soursop is extremely necessary for providing welfare our health because it is a natural treatment . After knowing all the benefits that this wonderful plant has as students suggest that every person who owns an area of land to be able to make a home garden includes a soursop tree . Background Cancer causes about 13 % of all deaths . According to the Society American Cancer Society , 7.6 million people died of cancer worldwide in 2007 . Cancer is a group of diseases in which the body produces an excess of malignant cells ( known as carcinogens or cancer ) , with growth and division beyond the limits normally ( invasion of surrounding tissue and sometimes metastasis ) . Cancer can affect all ages , even fetuses , but the risk of developing the most common increases with age . Most cancers form tumors , but some , like leukemia As stated by Dr . Fabian Corral , director of the Registry of the National Cancer Society Cancer Control , SOLCA per million inhabitants , 1500 annually suffer some of the various forms of cancer and 1,500 people , 600 die . Perhaps one of the most important discoveries related to cancer is parasites . All cancer patients are infected with parasites . Parasites ( the same that give our dogs and cats ) create both toxic inside the body , with their droppings and urine , the body simply does not fit any defense against cancer and succumbed to attack cancer cells . For this reason , the importance of the graviola against cancer by its property dewormer . Among the powerful principles assets or cytostatic anticancer acetogenins were contained in Graviola leaf . Acetogenins of Annonaceae are waxy substances resulting from the combination of fatty acids , long chain ( C32 or C34 ) with a unit of 2 - propanol in the carbon 2 to form a lactone terminal ( said lactone is at the beginning of the chain ) . Acetogenins , derived from long chain fatty acids have existing action directly on mitochondria , the ATP , the reticular apparatus of Golgi , plasma membranes and cell selectively destroying cancer cells without damaging the cells and tissues healthy , and contain Bullatacin , beta - sitosterol , sitosterol , campesterol The soursop or graviola was found useful for medical purposes 25 years ago , but in recent years has become widely acclaimed for its nutritional properties that provide many benefits to the body as to eliminate cancer cells without harming the rest of the cells , well above the conventional methods with chemotherapy and hoping to make cancer a chronic and nonlethal . Objectives GOAL Demonstrate chemical and biologically the healing properties of graviola Annona muricata ( soursop ) and toxicity . 2.2 OBJECTIVES SPECIFIC Analyze the uses and benefits of graviola Annona muricata ( soursop ) on the health of humans . Develop products that highlight medicinal and nutritional properties of graviola Annona muricata ( soursop ) , as an alternative for improving health . Apply the different products made from graviola Annona muricata ( soursop ) , according to the needs of people . Justification Currently one of the leading causes of death in the world is cancer , because of this concern among natural look , one with high healing properties since the chemotherapy treatment causes strong effects on the already deteriorating health of the sick , therefore justify our project in order that the people in our community receive this knowledge and apply it as it is simple and economical . Theoretical Framework TOPIC The soursop ( Annona muricata GRAVIOLA ) USES AND BENEFITS THE CURE CANCER PROBLEM What are the uses and benefits of soursop ( Annona muricata graviola ) the cure for cancer ? PROBLEM As we know a problem faced today is the cancer society , which is why we decided to work with the soursop , since studies have noted that it is an excellent anti - cancer , as it contains an alkaloid called Acetogenina , the which is more potent than Adriamycin chemotherapy . It is also an excellent antispasmodic since her brief pains can be prevented in the joints , so the agency can provide excellent nutrients by eating its flesh , which is why we have made desserts for those who do not want to eat it directly such Hiccup THESIS WORK If we know that the soursop has excellent medicinal benefits both as food , then why not make homemade products with this product ? that allow society to realize this valuable fruit so they can sow themselves and take home a great medicinal and nutritional product . Theoretical reference Graviola or soursop The soursop is a plant that is grown in tropical areas in Latin and South Center , especially in the Amazon . All parts of the plant are used in natural medicine , including bark , leaves , roots and fruits , but the part that contains the highest concentration of active ingredients is the leaf , where are Annonaceae acetogenins , which have been studied extensively studied since 1940 when it began to be used as an insecticide , reaching astound scientists for its ample power , without causing any adverse effects in animals and man . Its many applications in medicine are naturally valid for this research . The earliest studies were between 1941 and 1962 . Several studies demonstrated that several researchers had relaxant action cortex hypotensive , antispasmodic , vasodilator and smooth muscle cardiodepresivas activity in animals . Researchers features re - checked sheet hypertensive rats soursop in 1991 . Several studies have shown that leaf extracts of the bark , root , stem and seed are antibacterial in vitro against numerous pathogens and that the bark has antifungal properties . The seeds of soursop showed antiparasitic properties . A study in 1991 , In 1998 four new studies have been published on specific phytochemicals advances are demonstrating the anti - cancer properties and antivirus stronger . In recent years , the soursop extract has become widely acclaimed for having highly potent properties to fight cancer . Since March 2003 , e - mails circulating on the internet claiming that soursop tea cures cancer . There are several studies on the anonacina , the compound of the soursop that would anticancer effects . However , these studies were only performed in vitro or in vivo in animals , there being still no clinical studies in humans . One reason cited for the lack of human clinical studies is the fact that you can not patent a plant , leading to laboratory sponsoring studies to concentrate research on the active , Annonaceae acetogenins , instead of the plant . Studies were conducted to compare it with the effect soursop with adriamycin ( known chemotherapy ) . It was found that is 10,000 times more powerful , and it kills cancer cells without harming healthy cells as with chemotherapy , which also causes nausea , weight loss and hair , protects and increases the system immune . Perhaps one of the most important discoveries related to cancer is parasites . All cancer patients are infected with parasites , which create both toxic inside the body , with their droppings and urine , the body simply does not fit any defense against cancer and succumbed to the attack of proteases cancer making the cells . Based on these clinical studies already completed and tested , it is logical to ask the why not widespread medicinal use of this plant . Well , the answer , once again to look at the profitability of the product , ie money . The soursop tree is a natural product and therefore can not get a patent which , at that company to decide exploit , own the exclusive disclosure , which reduces profitability to the business . The companies know they can not get the desired benefits from investing time and resources in testing this product to market and deprive final consumers of all its properties . It is a fruit , also called Annona muricata about 3 kg . weight , bittersweet like cherimoya , also known as Brazilian cherimoya , native of the Caribbean area , and other warm parts of America , the Philippines and Australia . Is covered with a thin shell and dark green spiny , and their flesh is white and from pulp blanda . A are produced jams , liqueurs or dessert . It can be eaten directly as fruit when ripe , mixed with other fruits in salads , boiled , or consumed as juice . Containing potassium and sodium in abundance as well as vitamin C , fiber , starch , calcium , phosphorus , iron , proteins and essential amino acids . Other studies suggest that there is a connection in the consumption of this fruit and atypical forms of the disease of Parkinson due to the high concentration of anonacina , which does not happen with the tea produced from tea . It is considered also as an anti - microbial agent wide spectrum against bacterial and fungal infections , is effective against internal parasites and worms , it regulates blood pressure is high and antidepressant , combat stress and nervous disorders . It is a 100 % natural , undiluted , or fermented fruit obtained from squeezing fresh soursop , clean , mature , disinfected and selected to be tried in a mesh of 0.5 mm , the pulp contains no preservatives , contains no sugar , contains Vitamin C , the product life are : one ( 1 ) year remaining frozen ( - 18 ยฐ C to - 22 ยฐ C . ) Packing in plastic bag of low density , resistant , transparent , printed in two inks , vol . 1k . For the preparation is mixed 3 The soursop is a plant that is grown in tropical areas in Central America and South America , especially in the Amazon .

Companies know that they can not obtain the desired benefits if they invest time and resources in testing this product to market and deprive final consumers of all its properties . DESCRIPTION BOTANICAL PLANT TREE Evergreen . The soursop tree is 6 - 8 feet tall , beautiful crown , straight trunk and smooth bark colored dark gray . LEAVES Elliptic - ovate , glossy , deep green above and whitish below . FLORES Large and solitary yellowish . FRUIT The fruit is very delicate dark green covered with soft spines . Is relatively large , very thin shell . They should be harvested before they mature . The flesh is white , creamy , meaty , juicy and slightly acidic , measured 2 - 3 cm long , can weigh 2.5 kg or more . SEEDS They measure 2 cm long and 1 cm wide , are somewhat flattened , its color is black brown , consistency is hard and have an almond that is white . Propagation and growth ALTITUDE This species grows from sea level to 1,000 m , although the optimum altitude for growing is between 400 - 600 m . CLIMATE Requires a temperature average of 25 to 28oC and an average annual rainfall of 1000 - 3000 mm well distributed , but can be grown in areas with moderate dry season . SOIL demanding soil loamy , sandy loam , preferably with a structure permeable , but easily tolerated soils poorly ventilated , responds well in soils with good content material organic pH : 5.5 โ 6.5 . Seed storage With a moisture content of from 7 to 8 % , the seeds can be stored in sealed containers ( eg glass or plastic thickness ) at a temperature between 12 to 18 ยฐ C in camera storage or office with air conditioning . PRE TREATMENT GERMINABILITY the seed may be soaked in water for a while warm between 70 to 80 ยฐ C and then allowed to soak in water at room temperature for 8 to 10 days changing the water daily SEEDING The seedbed can be done directly in the soil or in boxes were germination soil which has previously been disinfected PLANTING DEPTH The seed should be covered with the substrate , at about 0.5 - 1 cm . deep . LIGHT MANAGEMENT This species requires abundant light sun during its existence . IRRIGATION Keep the substrate moist during germination permanently without excess . โ Studies also show that the Graviola is 10,000 times more effective than Adriamycin is used in chemotherapy , and acts selectively , as it only kills cancer cells without harming healthy ones . This does not occur in the above treatment and demonstrated with hair loss . This investigation has not yet concluded , but there are indications that the use of controls in 48 hours graviola growth of a tumor โ Graviola is the plant world โ s most powerful anticancer , used for more than 40 years in the United States , Europe and Asia . Hundreds of research laboratories in over 20 of the highest scientific level made by the National Cancer Institute , National Health Center and Purdue University in the U.S. and the Faculty of Sciences of the Catholic University Medical South Korea . Impressive casuistry of thousands of cases treated for colon cancer , gastric cancer , pancreatic cancer , prostate cancer , breast cancer , kidney cancer and lung cancer . Contains powerful anticancer or cytostatic active ingredients . Containing acetogenins Graviola leaf . Comparative studies were done in vitro and in vivo by comparing the effect with adriamycin ( known chemotherapeutic ) . It was found that is 10,000 times more powerful , and it kills cancer cells without harming healthy cells as with chemotherapy , which also causes nausea , weight loss and hair , protects and increases the immune system . It is the best alternative when you can not resort to surgery or therapy or Radium Cobalt Therapy or when you have to stop chemotherapy for his action and atrogรฉnica ( side effects ) on the liver and kidneys . There is no conflict and contrary complements very well with any treatment that the patient is subjected improving quality of it . They have absolutely no side effects or intolerance or allergic reactions . In 1976 Dr . Jerry McLaughlin at Purdue University discovered ANONACEA acetogenins of graviola , Anticancer powerful . Continued this research in the National Cancer Institute proving its effectiveness in colon cancer and prostate cancer . The National Health Center use for other cancers ( gastric , kidney and breast ) . The Faculty of Medicine of the Catholic University of South Korea conducted comparative studies with adriamycin ( chemotherapy ) in the treatment of lung cancer . Studies from 1998 to 2000 by McLaughlin and Hw Chih , Chui HF have shown that acetogenins are inhibores of complex I of the oxidative phosphorylation chain thereby block the formation of ATP , the energy it needs cell cancer to operate your pump P - glycoprotein mediated , allowing you to stay active . The acetogenins also inhibit - ubiquinone ubiquinone oxidase , NADH - dependent enzyme that is peculiar to the plasma membrane of the cell cancerous . McLaughlin made their investigations and Bullatacinone Bullatacin acetogenins . A study conducted at the University of California Pardue , showed that acetogenins can selectively inhibit the growth of cancer cells and also inhibit the growth of tumor cells resistant to Adriamycin ( drug chemotherapy ) . In another study by scientists from the University , it was shown that acetogenina soursop ( graviola ) is extremely powerful having an ED50 ( lethal dose 50 ) up 10 - 9 micrograms per milliliter , resulting have 10,000 times the potency of Adriamycin . There are several studies on the anonacina , the compound of the soursop that would anticancer effects . However , these studies were only performed in vitro or in vivo in animals , there being still no clinical studies in humans .

Parasites ( the same that give our dogs and cats ) create both toxic inside the body , with their droppings and urine , the body simply does not fit any defense against cancer and succumbed to the attack of proteases making cancerous cells . Scientific studies have shown that certain types of soursop contains bioactive compounds known as acetogenins of Annonaceae , which are only found in this plant and some others of the family , being their main source leaf . Research shows that the main effects are those mentioned above and also have anticonvulsant properties , antimicrobial and anticancer . The acetogenins derived long chain fatty acids have direct action on mitochondria , the ATP , the Golgi reticular apparatus and plasma membranes and cell selectively destroying cancer cells without harming healthy cells and tissues also contain Bullatacin , beta - sitosterol , sitosterol , campesterol , Myristic Acid , Stearic Acid , Stigmasterol , Amino Acids , Vitamins and Minerals acting enzymatic and molecular level . Protect and increase the immune system . In countries other than the anticancer action have different customary and traditional uses : in Brazil ( analgesic , antirheumatic and antifebrรญfuga ) . In Haiti ( asthenia , flu and antispasmodic . ) Mexico ( bronchial and diarrhea ) . Panama ( dyspepsia and allergies ) . Venezuela ( liver disease ) . Malaysia ( rheumatic and dermatological ) Graviola is a small tree and vertical tree grows 5 - 6 meters tall with large leaves , dark green and shiny . It is native to the rainforest of Peru and Brazil . The fruit is sold in the markets local in the tropics where it is called Guanabana or Brazilian Cherimoya and is excellent for making drinks and sherbets and , though slightly sour acid , can be eaten out of hand . All parts of the Graviola tree are used in natural medicine in the tropics , including the bark , roots , fruit , seeds and fruit . The various features and applications are attributed to the different parts of the tree . Generally , the fruit and fruit juice are taken for worms and parasites , to cool fevers , to increase milk after childbirth , and as an astringent for diarrhea and dysentery . The crushed seeds are used against internal and external parasites , head lice , and worms , roots are considered sedative , antispasmodic and hypotensive Active Ingredient : Alkaloids ( Annonaceus Acetogenis ) Muricoreacin , Munhexoin C , mono - tetrahydrofuran , acetogenins , Annomuricin E , Miricapetocin . RECOMMENDED USE Antitumor Anticarcinogenic Antispasmodic Sedative Fight Asthma Fight Hypertension Combat Diabetes Corrects liver disorders Action Properties : Anti - bacterial , anti - cancer , anti - parasitic , anti - tumor , anti - spasmodic , stomachic , astringent , cytotoxic , febrifuge , hypotensive , insecticide , pesticide , sedative , vasodilator , vermifuge . IMPORTANT FACT ABOUT CANCER Perhaps one of the most important discoveries related to cancer is parasites . All cancer patients are infected with parasites . Parasites ( the same that give our dogs and cats ) create both toxic inside the body , with their droppings and urine , the body simply does not fit any defense against cancer and succumbed to attack cancer cells .

ONCOGENE : Gene that is present in the nucleus of cells genetically predisposed individuals . Oncogenes are transmitted in inherited form found in cells in an inactive form . There are always expressed as normal genes are repressed by acting as inhibitors of contact ( 11 ) . Oncogenic : Term related to cancer SOURSOP PROPERTIES Among its properties of action is antibacterial , anticancer , antiparasitic , antitumor , antispasmodic , stomachic , astringent , cytotoxic , febrifuge , hypotensive , insecticide , pesticide , sedative , vasodilator , vermifuge . Antitumor , by active against resting cells or tumor origin ( not having capacity crowd these cells die and are forming the calculations or tumors ) acts to decrease gradually until they disappear calcification , which requires time to go each of our systems , improving and purifying . In the case of kidney tumor or calcifications in the liver , pancreas , lungs , brain or kidneys the dose increases between 5 - 7 grams per day , and their intake should be longer than six months . Antirheumatic , antiarthritic , has an immediate effect on joint pain and degeneration of them ( Osteoarthritis ) . Especially for those who receive treatment . Antidiabetic , by its powerful action in the blood helps to eliminate excess glucose . Donate to normalize the juice and enzymes pancreatic . If you take insulin , must be consumed 1 or 2 seeds , peeled and crushed fruit ( guava ) fasted for seven days . For ovarian colic , tea soursop ( graviola ) , let cool and strain before drinking , repeated after two hours . Anti - inflammatory , endocrine and liver , for its extensive power - inflammatory and / or released by the blood , is excellent for the endocrine system , normalizing the production of hormones in the various glands of our body , is in the nervous system , immune and player ( ovaries and prostate ) , in the liver , kidneys , stomach , gastritis and ulcers combat . Contains folic acid , which makes it excellent for women who wish to become pregnant ( normal production of DNA ) , preventing infections that complicate the development of the fetus . Sedative , to recover the heart muscle after a heart attack and combat hypertension and problems cardiovascular . Has calming effect at night , getting a good night sleep . No sleepy in the day . Antidiarrheal , for its potent insecticide kills bacteria that cause diarrhea , is much more effective than an antibiotic and acts without harming the intestinal flora , being 100 % natural . Bark and leaf characteristics together with fungicides , antifungal eliminates certain fungi that produce erythema ( herpes , psoriasis ) . Dermatology : Psoriasis , lupus ( with flaxseed and Nettle Black ) , seborrhea , to regulate the endocrine system fluids also controls our glands making them work if they are blocked and regulating them if overproduced , such as in psoriasis . Antiparasitic , insecticidal action by its powerful helps eliminate parasites , especially in children , dissolve one capsule before meals for 7 days . Digestive , for its soothing action facilitates good digestion , removing excess fat and triglycerides in an opulent meal . To aid digestion , is excellent when we are in chemotherapy . Colds , soursop tea is used for colds , inflammation of mucous membranes ; muรฑa used with or mint tea . Antihistaminic and antispasmodic , in Asthma , eliminates the mites that occur in the lung cilia . Power sedative , is good for the nervous system to contain lithium in microscopic amounts sufficient to exert its sedative power in people irritable , nervous and anxious for its sedative power is anticonvulsant . Obesity , to prevent the accumulation of fat in the body makes losing weight gradually . Diuretic , collaborates with removing liquids , liquid acids ( which form cholesterol ) and helps to remove excess uric acid and calcification of the nephrons ( renal cell ) APPLICATIONS AGAINST CANCER The best way to consume the Soursop or Graviola is consuming it directly , forget once and for all the buy pills in health food stores , do not fall into these businesses , because the cure of disease and the real power is in healing item directly consume , here is the fruit of the soursop , and preparing the leaves as you would any time tea or water . If you want to consume soursop leaves , try to get the leaves in your state natural , avoid buying products like tea filter , etc . And we repeat โฆ not acquire โ natural โ food stores in malls , but not have noticed before , the natural products are actually in the market , there if you can find the elements that nature offers us in its natural state . However health food stores often these products are altered , and in the worst deliberately diminish their healing effects to act in the patient slowly creating a cycle Cancer cell RESISTANCE TO DRUGS chemotherapeutic Mechanism of Action Some cancer cells develop resistance to multiple drugs ( MDR ) . Dr . Mc Laughlin , a researcher at Purdue University . California , explains saying that this resistance having a small percentage of cells is that they develop a pump mediated by P - glycoprotein , which is capable of expelling anticancer agents ( chemotherapeutic drugs ) outside the cell , before can thereby kill remains active oncogenic cellular focus . The process of expelling anticancer agents of the cell , through said pump ; requires large quantities of Tri - Phosfato adenosine , ATP ( energy ) ACTION of Graviola acetogenins against cancer Acetogenins of Annonaceae are waxy substances resulting from the combination of long chain fatty acids ( C33 or C34 ) , with a unit of 2 - propanol in the carbon 2 to form a lactone . A study conducted at the University of California Pardue , showed that acetogenins can selectively inhibit the growth of cancer cells and also inhibit the growth of tumor cells resistant to Adriamycin ( chemotherapeutic drug ) . In another study by scientists from the University , it was shown that acetogenins soursop ( graviola ) are extremely powerful having an ED50 ( lethal dose 50 ) up 10 - 9 micrograms per milliliter , resulting have 10,000 times the potency of Adriamycin .

http://claycord.com/2016/06/24/call-for-exoneration-of-port-chicago-50-approved-in-state-senate/ | Call for Exoneration of โ Port Chicago 50 โ Approved in State Senate June 24 , 2016 14 : 00 pm 28 comments A local politician โ s call for convictions of black sailors who made a stand after a deadly blast in Contra Costa County during World War II to be posthumously overturned was approved in the state Senate Thursday . Introduced by Sen . Steve Glazer , D - Orinda , Senate Resolution 69 was passed unanimously by the Senate , Glazer โ s office announced Thursday . The resolution calls on President Barack Obama to exonerate a group of munitions sailors referred to as the Port Chicago 50 . They were part of more than 250 black munitions sailors who refused to return to the unsafe working conditions that led to a cargo vessel explosion in 1944 at the former Port Chicago Naval Magazine near Concord , which killed 320 of their fellow sailors as well as civilians . Around 200 of these sailors did return to work when threatened with the death penalty for what was referred to as mutinous conduct , but the 50 who resisted were sentenced to years of hard labor . The U.S. Navy eventually gave those of the 50 who had not committed later offenses a general discharge under honorable conditions , but the charges of mutiny were never rescinded . Glazer joined in the efforts of other Bay Area politicians , such as Mark DeSaulnier , D - Walnut Creek , in an attempt to remove what they said were โ racially biased convictions . โ โ By exonerating these men , we can close an ugly chapter in California โ s history and give proper recognition to the discrimination that took place at the time , โ Glazer said in a statement . Efforts to exonerate the Port Chicago 50 have been ongoing since 1990 , when a campaign led by 25 members of the U.S. Congress was unsuccessful in having the convictions overturned . In 2010 , a resolution similar to Glazer โ s was introduced to the California legislature and did not result in the exonerations . Justin June 24 , 2016 at 2 : 04 PM Excellent . We โ re only as good as our values , even when not expedient . Mountainside Jay June 24 , 2016 at 2 : 15 PM Good , it โ s only fair to atone for our barbarism . The Observer June 24 , 2016 at 2 : 26 PM Is n โ t it great that those of us living in the here and now have so few problems that we can spend so much time trying to settle scores for the dead . TIFOKCIS June 24 , 2016 at 2 : 51 PM More nonsense from the big thinkers . Mary June 24 , 2016 at 3 : 12 PM They should have put guns in their hands and have them attack the German positions on Normandy in WW II . These mutineers got what they deserved . No exoneration for them . FlyingSpaghettiMonster June 24 , 2016 at 3 : 19 PM Definition of a White Elephant : a possession that is useless or troublesome , especially one that is expensive to maintain or difficult to dispose of . So Obama will be able to thank Glazer et al for a white elephant . What is Obama to do with this ? Some legal scholars say he does not have the legal authority to exonerate these deceased people . They say the best he could do is a non - legal declaration of support . And anyway , even if legal , he has only exonerated or pardoned a very few people . So right before he leaves office , he will do a mass exoneration based on a race issue and leave that as his legacy ? ? et - al June 24 , 2016 at 3 : 32 PM Ditto Mary # 5 , Desertion in time of war , punishable by execution . Kirkwood June 24 , 2016 at 3 : 56 PM This is just another example of using today โ s values to judge events of the past . What if you were alive in the era this event occurred ? You would likely be thinking like your contemporaries . Fed up June 24 , 2016 at 3 : 58 PM Disgusting and deplorable what to happened to the 320 . The douche bag military should have been convicted of murder with gross negligence . CNWS development total lack of respect and should not be built . I hate what Contra Costa has become and it is only going down the tubes with these stupid politcians and BART Board of directors . Bacon June 24 , 2016 at 4 : 11 PM Who was here then that is here now ? Why should I have to pay for the decisions made by other people decades ago under different political and social circumstances ? Judging history by current day standards and acting on that judgement is the epitome of foolishness and shows a great deal of ignorance . In the meantime , we can learn from history but apologising for others decisions is incredibly egotistical and narcissistic . Just like the average CA voters . Poor Richard June 24 , 2016 at 4 : 36 PM Every election cycle some politician does this or something similar . How can we end it ? Rewrite all the history books and make them heroes ? Level all the structures , rename the area , and deny it ever happened ? State of California has no authority in military matters , so it is just for headlines . The convictions were based upon Navy Regulations at the time . The Black Sailors made poor decisions . anonymous June 24 , 2016 at 4 : 58 PM @ fed up You are a moron , with ears Atticus Thraxx June 24 , 2016 at 4 : 59 PM Now that we โ ve all sung Kumbaya , and gotten a good stretch patting ourselves on the back , can we fix the motherloving roads ? Rick Calicura June 24 , 2016 at 5 : 06 PM # 10 โ I was here then , living in Martinez . I can assure you that it was a mighty big explosion . One I will never forget . At the time , it was chalked up to utter carelessness by those handling the munitions ( who were safe here , stateside ) . Then the mutiny happened . I wo n โ t comment here about my feelings of Monday morning quarterbacking this issue . X Lib X Dem June 24 , 2016 at 5 : 23 PM Let โ s do it . This way Obama can come visit Concord , make a long speech , take credit , and have another publicity PR shot for his presidential library . @ 11 June 24 , 2016 at 5 : 36 PM These politicians were stuck . Somebody ask them to do this . Ca n โ t say no if you want to avoid a lot of bad press and want to get re - elected . Tendril June 24 , 2016 at 5 : 54 PM Unless you have made the drive to the Rosie the Riveter monument and museum ( part of the Park Service ) , studied the Port Chicago testimony , evidence , and photographs re this largest WW 2 homeland disaster , and unless you have bought the book covering the subject and studied it , you people really have no moral right to comment one way or the other . Bottom line . The munitions were known to be unstable . The officers gave orders not supported by military code . And as a matter of fact , had all the additional bombs been loaded onto the ship , then the explosion would have been exponentially worse , with even more civilians and military killed and more severe land - side property damage . Ricardoh June 24 , 2016 at 5 : 58 PM What if our soldiers thought invading Normandy or Iwo Jima was too dangerous . Many men in battle for our country died in battles they had a pretty good idea they were not going to survive . This a crazy act after the fact by feel good people . TeacherMan June 24 , 2016 at 6 : 52 PM @ # 5 , 7 , and ? ? ? . They stood up for racist & unsafe conditions . Good for them . They SHOULD be exonerated . Toubom Truman June 24 , 2016 at 7 : 58 PM @ Mary # 5 Normandy and D - Day occurred about a month and a half before the Port Chicago Explosion . Silva June 24 , 2016 at 7 : 59 PM Okay , fear of imminent death , or fear of the death penalty โฆ facing sentencing of hard labor , or returning to hard labor with the ever present fear of imminent death โฆ Holy cow ! Exonerate them already ! Geez . Rob June 24 , 2016 at 8 : 39 PM # 18 โ you do realize that Port Chicago is not on the island of Iwo Jima , nor next to Normandy do n โ t you ? These guys were in the US not storming some beach โ funny how the white folks in the US in the Navy were n โ t handling those munitions โฆ And besides โ if working conditions are leading to you blowing up your damn ships in the United States โ is n โ t that essentially doing the enemies job ? Cement June 24 , 2016 at 9 : 29 PM @ teacherman Were the conditions any better on Saipan or Iwo Jima you f& @ ktard liberal POS ? Just guys wrapped in bubble wrap there , giving each other hugs . That is where the munitions they shirked were probably headed . How many soldiers died for there โ sit in . โ Ass โฆ head โฆ Separate Bird lover June 24 , 2016 at 9 : 49 PM Yes these men were unjustly treated and thank goodness for our politicians to free them of those redicules charges ! So many of you who have mean unforgiving spirits , I hope you all chill out and see the light ! Sarah D June 24 , 2016 at 11 : 07 PM Hey Rob , white men did in fact load munitions , clearly you did n โ t realize there were white men that participated but some how not part of the Port Chicago 50 . Will the white men be exonerated ? Before you say anything , do some reading learn about the entire event not just what politicians are telling you PO ' d June 25 , 2016 at 7 : 10 AM Revisionist history for an election year - nothing more , nothing less . We do n โ t know the exact cause for the explosion , so most of this is speculative . S2K June 25 , 2016 at 7 : 14 AM Mutiny is punishable by what ? And these guys are being exonerated , got to be kidding me . Taxpayer June 25 , 2016 at 4 : 02 PM Bull . Sheet . Such an example of the worst of political pandering and revisionist history .

http://claydavenport.com/archives/97 | Catching up on moves Projected Standings ( early version , 1 - 21 - 12 ) Cuban Statistics and Yoennis Cespedes By clayd On January 12 , 2012 17 Comments Yoennis Cespedes has made quite a splash since leaving the communist paradise of Cuba , aligning himself with some very clever marketers and well - produced promotional videos . Scouts are raving about his power and his speed , and there is some anticipation of a bidding war for his services once he clears the regulatory hurdles that come with being a Cuban emigre . As well there should be . While I was initially pessimistic about his past performances , and the projections that can be reasonably made from them , I discovered a few things about how the system works . Those influences were holding him back , so to speak , for what I โ m pretty sure were bad reasons . He looks like he should be a solidly above - average major league player โ not likely to be a Hall of Famer and maybe not even an All - Star , but someone who could place in the top I am not basing that conclusion on the videos prepared by his agents , nor on the reports of scouts . What I have , that no one else seems to have done yet , is to compile his performance history from the Cuban Serie Nacional , along with the stats of everyone else in the Cuban leagues , and subject those statistics to the same kind of review we have for players in the American minor leagues . I have what I think is a complete record back to 2001 of Cuban batting and pitching performances , and fielding Each of those pages are sortable . The stats for the entire league occupy the top of the page , with separate sortable stat boxes for each team down below . Each player is linked to his own page โ accessible through the league pages , or through the search box at the top of any of the player pages . At least I think I have them all on their own page โ the Cuban culture apparently takes a very lackadaisical attitude towards consistent spelling , which made it an enormous chore to link player stats from one season Yoennis Cespedes has actually done on the baseball field in a competitive environment . His real statistics are reasonably impressive โ a consistent .300 eqa , averaging 35 HR per 650 PA ( the sum lines are scaled down to 650 PA to ease interpretation ) , with excellent center field defense . He โ s pulling 350 - ish atbats a year , which โ given that the Cuban season is 90 games , and the league leader in AB is around 380 โ speaks well to his durability . The 33 home runs he hit in 2011 represented a new Cuban league record . I have said before , that records , as often as not , are not the product of a great individual effort , but a good effort carried out in especially favorable circumstances . Cespedes โ home run record is undoubtedly the latter . Having the full stats in hand allows us to look at the trend in total HR hit over the last few years in Cuba : how they โ ve gone from 669 in 2007 , to 1192 , then 1292 , Name Age Year Tm Lge AB H DB TP HR ?

This looks like a pretty normal leaderboard , not the leaderboard of a record - setting season โ which is how you can be pretty sure the record really belongs to the conditions , not the individual . Give him credit for leading the league in HR , but leave the record talk out of it . ( Aside : you really , really should click on Abreu โ s link and look at his numbers . If I were an MLB exec I โ d be tempted to hire an extraction team to go in and kidnap the guy so he could play for me ) . The thing is , while there are certainly some high quality players in the Cuban league , enough to fill out an All - Star team that is strong in world competitions , the quality depth just is n โ t there โ a problem that is n โ t helped by the continual exodus of top players like Cespedes ( let us please leave the moral issues , governmental ideologies , personal freedoms , what is right and what is wrong out of this ; I am explicitly and only considering the baseball issue here ) .

The only evidence for good speed , which was on prominent display in his videos , are his fielding ratings โ it is not apparent from his hit distribution or stolen base totals . Statistically speaking , he only rates as slightly speedier than average . His strikeout and walk rates both rate as โ poor โ , although his K rate has improved So yes , the overall projection is for good power , low BA and OBA , and a good CF , with an overall EQA in the .260 - .270 range . Per the EqA report , the average EqA for major league center fielders last year was .269 . There is a major league player who is , statistically , quite comparable to Cespedes . He is also a center fielder , has a Gold Glove , and is only about 2.5 months older . Compare their 2011 DTs , enlarging Cespedes โ to the same plate appearance total : . ab h db tp hr bb so sb cs ba oba slg eqa Cespedes 544 133 23 1 32 49 97 12 1 .244 .307 .467 .267 ML Player 562 162 25 2 25 31 100 11 5 .288 .325 .473 .274 The major league player gets more 24 hits , but gives most of that advantage back by drawing 20 fewer walks . He โ s had major league EqAs of .246 , .265 , .262 , and .274 in his career , and there is a near - constant expectation for him to break out and have a great season . Instead , we have a string of seasons which place him as the 7 - 10th best CF in the majors โ very good , but short of All - Star caliber . The hype of what we expect Adam Jones and the reality we โ ve gotten seems to me like a very good lesson for Yoennis Cespedes . When I run a projection for Cespedes โ and , for that matter , Jones โ I get a forecast that carries them from their current .270ish figure to something more .280ish . Combine that with being good - fielding center fielders , and you โ re talking about 4 - 5 WARP , right on the border of All - Star status . A 4.3 WARP , which is his 50 % projection , would have made him the 6th best CF in 2011 , 5th in 2010 , or 4th in 2009 . The overwhelming majority of players Cespedes โ comps are interesting , in that there is n โ t a lot range to it .

Whatever he is doing , saying , signing , committing to , it is because he has had the opportunity to actually consider his options and ( while advised by others ) say , and eventually act upon , what he thinks is best . Secondly , since his defection , Cespedes has been subjected to a regime of nutrition , training , emotional gratification and healthy , self - building challenges , which has been vastly superior , more comprehensive and targeted than whatever he had acccess to while playing for Cuba .

http://cldr.unicode.org/translation/currency-names | Information Hub for Linguists > Currency Symbols & Names Each currency code such as USD or EUR can be represented in several ways , as given in the table below . Be sure to look at the international symbol to see which currency is being translated . For example , the English examples below are for USD . The Symbol and International code will be used in number patterns , as shown in the Examples of Usage . For more information , see Number Patterns Type Code Example Examples of Usage Meaning Symbol USD $ $ 12,345.68 This is to be most commonly understood currency designator next to an amount for this currency in your locale . For example , the localized value of Canadian dollars in US English would likely be " CA $ " . Showing Swedish krona in Sweden would be " kr " , but showing Danish krona in Sweden would be " Dkr " , to distinguish it from the Swedish counterpart . The reversed may be used in Danish . Meanwhile showing Bermudan dollar in Sweden , using ISO code " BMD " might be better than " $ BM " Note : It is not necessary to specify ISO 4217 codes ( e.g. " USD " ) as the symbol merely to ensure that they are available to CLDR clients who want to use them ; a developer who specifically wants to use the ISO codes ( say , in a table of currency transactions ) can get those elsewhere in CLDR , there is no need to " translate " them in a locale . This symbol field is meant for showing an amount with a commonly recognizable and understandable currency designation . Warnings : Never use the same symbol for two different currencies . If " $ " is used for USD , it can not also be used for AUD . This is one of the areas where the country matters . USD is $ in the default English ( which is for US ) , and other dollar symbols are qualified ( AU $ , C $ , . . . ) . However , in en - AU ( Australian English ) , the choices are switched : $ is AUD , and USD is US $ . Symbol EUR โฌ โฌ 12,345.68 . . . Symbol - narrow DKK kr 12,345.68 kr This is an opportunity to provide an even shorter symbol for a currency . When using narrow currency symbols , it it assumed that the context is well known , so it is not necessary for the narrow currency symbol to be unique . In the example of where Swedish used " Dkr " for Danish krona above , you may use this field for just " kr " , and assume that context in its usage will make up for the lack of distinction . Note : It can be the same as currency - symbol . Many languages use โฌ for Euro in both fields . That ' s OK if that best represents common usage . International Code USD n / a USD International symbol used in formatting currency amounts . Normally , this is not under translator control , so you wo n ' t even see these presented for translation , but they can be specified by the programmer . International Code EUR n / a EUR . . . Name USD US Dollar Dollar des รtats - Unis Descriptive name of the currency . It should be the most neutral grammatical form for your language , appropriate for menus . Typically this is nominative singular , but the conventions may be different for your language . To provide greatest flexibility , this should use capitalization appropriate for the middle of a sentence . CLDR has separate contextTransforms data to specify how this should be programmatically capitalized ( if at all ) for different contexts such as use in menus , stand - alone use ( e.g. a web page title ) , etc . Plural form 1 US dollar vs 2 US dollars 1 US dollar vs 2 US dollars Different forms based on plurals used in your language . In this latter case , the items will not appear in menus , and do n ' t need to be capitalized ( except for words that require that in your language ) . See Plurals Note : in some cases , the English currency symbol may appear as box , typically because you do n ' t have fonts for all of the characters . This is especially the case for currency symbols recently added to Unicode , such as the following : image symbol when added U+ 20BC Manat symbol ( Azerbaijan ) Unicode 7 , June 2014 U+ 20BD Ruble symbol ( Russia . . . ) Unicode 7 , June 2014 U+ 20BE Lari symbol ( Georgia ) Unicode 8 , June 2015 Unique Names Currency names must be unique ; the same name ca n ' t be used for two different currency codes . When a country replaces a currency , it will get a new code . It will either reuse the name ( and the old name needs to be modified ) , or use a new name . To find out details , g o to Detailed Territory - Currency Information to see what currencies are , and which countries they are used in . You can search for the code in square brackets , such as for [ MZN ] ( for Mozambian Metical ) . A currency is current if it has " โ " in the To column for some country . Guidelines : For a current currency , use the most common name , such as Mozambian Metical For an obsolete currencies : It may be known by a different name , like Mozambican Escudo . Then there is no problem . If it has the same name as some current currency , include a date range , like Mozambian Metical ( 1980 - 2006 ) Symbols The following general guidelines are used for currency symbols . These guidelines are also subject to the CLDR Currency Process If a symbol is not widely recognized around the world ( eg shekel โช ) Where the currency is official in a country , use that symbol in locales with that country ( eg IL ) Where the currency would be widely recognized by users of a language , use it in the base language locale ( eg he / iw ) . Otherwise , use the international currency symbol ( eg ILS ) . This can be done just by omitting the translation . Otherwise the symbol is widely recognized . If the symbol is used for only one currency ( eg โฌ ) or widely recognized as being a given currency ( eg ยฃ ) : Use that symbol in root . If it would n ' t be recognized in particular countries or among particular language users , in those locales / countries use the international currency code ( eg EUR ) or another replacement ( see below ) . These other symbols have to be listed explicitly , so that they override root . Otherwise the symbol is used for multiple currencies , so Use the symbol in the countries that have it as an official currency symbol Use the symbol in languages where it there is a well - established general understanding that it would mean a particular currency . Otherwise , typically use international currency code or ( " region - code " + symbol ) or ( symbol + " region - code " ) ( the region is usually a country , but sometimes not ) so that it is not ambiguous . Note that the 3 - letter international ( ISO 4217 ) code for every currency is always available to CLDR data consumers , regardless of any other symbols that may be specified for the currency . So it is never necessary to specify the 3 - letter code in place of a symbol in order to ensure that the 3 - letter code can be used if desired ; the choice of when to use a symbol should be governed by the guidelines above . These are only general guidelines , and may need to be overridden in particular cases . Certain symbols like the dollar sign are particularly tricky , because they are used by a great many countries . | [

http://cleaning.lovetoknow.com/How_to_Clean_Leaking_AA_Batteries | How to Clean Leaking AA Batteries By Kathleen Esposito Source People that have a lot of battery powered electronics should know how to clean leaking AA batteries . If a battery gets too hot or it gets punctured , it can leak what is commonly referred to as battery acid on any surface that it touches . AA refers to the size of the battery , not the type . The cleaning method will differ depending on if the batteries are alkaline , lithium or nickel cadmium . Alkaline Batteries Alkaline batteries can leak aqueous potassium hydroxide , which is a basic solution . The best way to clean up the leak is with an acidic liquid . Pour a half teaspoon of either white vinegar or lemon juice into a bowl . Mix in one and a half teaspoons of water . Dip the end of a cotton swab into the solution until it is saturated . Rub the swab on the surface of the stain . If the stain is fairly large , an old toothbrush can be used . A soft - bristled one is best since it is the most flexible . Since most stained surfaces will be electronics , let them air dry , but do not rinse . Nickel Cadmium Batteries Nickel cadmium batteries are acid - based , containing cadmium and nickel oxide hydroxide . This makes their leakage easiest to clean up using baking soda , a common base . Plan to wear rubber gloves and a rubber apron to protect yourself from the highly corrosive fluid . Put a half teaspoon of baking soda in a shallow dish . Add enough water to make a paste the consistency of toothpaste . Apply this mixture to stained areas . Wipe off the paste with a damp cloth . Dry the area with a microfiber cloth . Lithium Batteries Lithium batteries , such as many cell phone batteries , rarely leak . But when they do , it can be a dangerous occurrence . Clean lithium leaks with water only using a cotton rag . Dispose of the battery itself before doing so , since faulty lithium batteries can burn your skin or even explode . Do not use any type of alcohol to clean up lithium as it can be highly combustible . Note that you may not be able to save electronics with leakage from a lithium battery inside them . Using them again could expose you to fire risk , even with diligent cleanup . Water should take care of leakage onto your skin or clothing sufficiently . How to Clean Leaking AA Batteries Source If batteries are leaking , it is likely that they are no longer functional . If they are still working , it can be dangerous to use them - for both you and your electronic devices . However , if you still want to clean the batteries , you can wipe the terminals of both alkaline and nickel cadmium batteries using the methods above to remove some of the corrosion . Do n ' t try to clean lithium batteries . A Word of Advice If you find that a piece of electronics is ruined due to a leaking AA battery and you used the battery in its normal fashion , contact the battery ' s manufacturer . Sometimes a representative will offer to repair or replace your electronics item . The company may also be able to provide you with special cleaning instructions and could issue a recall of a faulty battery batch . Disposing of Leaking Batteries Since batteries can leak toxic substances into the ground if not disposed of properly , it is best to place them in hazardous waste receptacles instead of just throwing them in with your regular garbage . Many landfills have battery disposable bins , as do some electronics stores . Stay Safe After learning how to clean leaking AA batteries , you may be anxious to get started . Before you do so , put on appropriate safety gear . This includes gloves and safety goggles . If you get a rash on your skin or you feel a burning sensation in your nose or eyes , contact your doctor as soon as possible . Cleaning Options for Laminate Floors Cleaning with Vinegar | [

Depending upon the taxpayer โ s tax and financial situation , sometimes setting up an Installment Agreement is the best way for a business or individual to get back into full compliance with the IRS or state taxation authorities . An Installment Agreement , also known as a โ payment plan โ allows the taxpayer to pay back the taxes owed in monthly increments while being considered in good standing with the taxing authority . Moreover , the IRS and certain states may reduce certain penalties when a taxpayer enters into an installment agreement . There are various types of installment agreements that require different payment amounts depending upon the financial situation of the taxpayer . Payment plans can defer on the type of tax involved , the term of the repayment , how the money is remitted on a monthly basis , and whether financial information is required . Some How Our Installment Agreement Service Works If our attorneys feel that an installment agreement is your best option , they will recommend you pursue one and we will help negotiate one on your behalf . We will analyze your financial situation and make a determination on which type of installment agreement would be most appropriate . First , we check to see if a partial payment installment agreement is possible in which a taxpayer can pay less than the total owed over time until the remainder of the tax debt expires . We will then consider a full payment installment agreement ( various types of these amending your tax return ( s ) , filing an original return if a Substitute for Return has been filed for you , Penalty Abatement , and / or Innocent Spouse Relief How Our Partial Payment Installment Agreement Service Works The partial payment installment agreement ( PPIA ) was created for the financially troubled taxpayer that can not make the monthly payment that is required with a standard installment agreement . Once a taxpayer is enters into a partial payment installment agreement , he or she is considered in good standing with the taxing authorities . With a partial payment installment agreement , there is a possibility that the Collection Statute Expiration Date ( CSED ) will pass prior to the total amount of taxes being paid . Therefore , the taxpayer will not end up paying the entire tax financial interview with you and cross reference your financial information with our computer models to determine which types of settlements the IRS or your state taxation authorities would consider for your situation . Why Choose Us for Installment Agreement Help ? If an installment agreement is the best resolution for a taxpayer , our tax professionals will let you know and recommend this option over other courses of action . Our trusted tax professionals have many years of tax experience , which helps ensure our clients get the best outcome with taxation authorities . | [

Subscribe today . The future is now Exclusives EV Reviews EV News Tesla News Electricity About 13 Charts On Solar Panel Cost & Growth Trends September 4th , 2014 by Zachary Shahan The following charts on solar panel cost trends and solar power growth trends are fun , and good for a share , since many people are completely unaware of these trends . Of course , to get a very specific cost of solar panels estimate for your own home , you can just spend about 60 seconds answering a few question at the link above and we can hook you up with this in a jiffy . ( A completely free process , of course . ) But , if you โ re just interested in some general information on solar panel cost and growth trends , look no further โ we โ ve got the goods right here : 13 Cost of Solar Panels & Cost of Solar Power Charts &Graphs 1 . The average cost of solar cells has gone from $ 76.67 / watt in 1977 to just $ 0.74 / watt in 2013 . [ Update : PVinsights shows the average price of a solar module at $ 0.49 / watt on July 15 , 2016 , and the average price of a solar cell at $ 0.26 / watt . ] Well , that basically tells you everything you need to know right there โ the cost of solar panels in 2013 was about 100 times lower than the cost of solar panels in 1977 ( even more than 100 times lower ! ) โ but I promised 10 charts , so let โ s dig in even further and throw on some other fun charts and graphs . 2 . What is really important is that the cost of electricity from solar panels is now lower than the cost of retail electricity for most people . That โ s big ! That means that people like you and me ( if we have a roof ) can cut our electricity costs by putting solar panels on our roofs ! This is why major companies like Walmart , IKEA , Google , Apple , Facebook , Costco , Kohl โ s , Macy โ s , Staples , and many others are starting to go solar in a big way . Of course , as you can see in that graph above , the cost of solar is headed towards the wholesale cost of electricity from natural gas โฆ which would actually get utility companies and power plant developers switching to solar in a big way . ( The cost of solar power actually varies quite a bit from place to place , and solar has crossed those lines in some locations . ) 3 . Here โ s another look at the falling cost of solar panels ( or , as the industry often calls them , solar modules ) , focusing on the years 1985 โ 2011 ( the price has continue to follow the trend through today ) : 4 . Are you actually interested in the cost of installed solar power systems ? And even perhaps the cost of installed solar power systems by sector ? Here โ s a chart on that , for the US [ update : I โ ve replaced a Q1 2014 chart with one from Q1 2016 ] : 5 . Are you interested in seeing how the cost of solar panels compares to the cost of its main competitor ? If so , have a look at this comparison between the cost of solar and the cost of electricity from gas - and diesel - fired peaking power plants [ a newer chart from the same source replaced the original chart on July 15 , 2016 ] : 6 โ 10 . Are you interested in seeing how much solar panels save the average American who goes solar โฆ or the average person in sunny states like California , Florida , New York , Texas , Hawaii , and so on ? Below are two infographics on just that . Just note , however , that these averages are based on the cost of solar panels in 2011 ( as I think you โ ve gathered by now , the cost has dropped considerably since then ) . 10 โ 12 . So , with all of this information on the drop in the cost of solar panels and the cost of solar - generated electricity , you โ re probably thinking that solar power project growth should be going through the roof by now , right ? Indeed , it is [ charts were updated on July 15 , 2016 , to be much more up to date ] : Annual installations , via International Energy Agency . Cumulative solar power capacity , via Charlie Cook Solar price drop vs global solar power annual installations , via BNEF 13 . And perhaps my favorite solar power graph , this one is titled โ Welcome to the terrordome ! โ So , what โ s the lesson today ? The lesson is : the cost of solar panels has fallen off a cliff , and that means that solar power now crushes electricity from the grid for a huge number of people . If you have a roof and do n โ t have solar panels on it , stop wasting your time and see what the cost of solar is and how much you can save right now ! Source : Cost Of Solar .

Bernard Finucane โข 4 years ago According to the headline , there must be at least two tons of charts , so these weigh at least 285.714 lbs a piece . Matt Chart 9 ( 4 sub charts ) do n ' t add up . ( saving / month ) * 12 * ( years to payback ) = saving thru payback OH $ 73 * 12 * 9 = $ 7,884 vs cost $ 15,916 CA $ 143 * 12 * 9 = $ 15,444 vs cost $ 10,192 Mass $ 57 * 12 * 4 = $ 2,736 vs cost $ 7,061 Ky $ 61 * 12 * 19 = $ 13,908 vs cost $ 19,447 So something does n ' t add up . bzNess โข 3 years ago You ' re making a wrong assumption about what payback means and where savings occur . If you calculate savings over the warranted life span of the system - most systems are 25 - 30 year warranties ( meaning the panels will not dip below 80 % their rated value ) . Thus , once your system is paid off in say 12 years , it ' s free energy from that point until the warranty period ( and in reality , it ' ll likely last for decades after that - so you are saving more than you think I would use 900kWh per month on average ( slightly higher than avg Iowa consumption ) . The price right now for local power comes to 10.4 cents per kWh averaged over a year ( slightly more in summer , less in winter ) for a total of = $ 93.60 / month or : $ 1123.20 / year . . $ 20k for system / $ 1123.20 = 17.8 years it ' s paid off . Everything after is free , and warranted for at least another 7.2 years - or a net gain of : $ 8087.04 ( in reality it will last longer and save much more ) . Note : It ' s actually cheaper than this . Federal tax rebate right now in 2016 is still 30 % . . So I ' m saving $ 6,000 more , and thus in reality the system is paid off in about 13 years . That means i net over $ 14k in 25 year warranty . I could perhaps find a 30 year warranty system , but I do n ' t care . in 30 years solar may vastly improve still . There are also other rebates for other states . I believe in Iowa you can get a 0 ( ZERO ) interest loan for residential PV installs - other states have like incentives in loans and rebates ( some cities even give rebates - I think San Francisco does ) . . Have fun installing . . . Save money - be smarter than the average folk . J Most data in the graphs stops at 2011 . This means it is already 3 years old and obsolete in an industry that changes very frequently - - - but that is good news . All the numbers are probably better for solar than is otherwise shown . Yeah , everything should be even better , but I have n ' t seen comparable graphs for more recent years . don deeks Very important article . Note remarkable Hawaii situation on charts , BUT , difficulty obtaining utility interconnect here . Public Utility Commission pressure is being applied , while PV customers wait ! JamesWimberley The Swanson chart ( 1 ) would be be more readable at the right - hand end - where we are now - with a log scale . Chart 3 , which is linear , shows that current module prices are not in a cyclical pit but exactly on the medium - term trend , Matt Many people do n ' t get log scale . So would be better to keep ( 1 ) and add a ( 1a ) , that starts at 2000 and resizes vertical axis to see continued progress . Mike333 What I see is smart money will soon de - carbonize . America needs a good NonCarbon - Index Fund . The whole market - carbon , because carbon is on a fast track to bankruptcy , and why should your index fund hold on to Clear Losers . There is this : http : / / cleantechnica . com / 20 . . . CaptD Utilities love wind since it allows them to profit from " renewables " while at the same time keep their ratepayers as their energy slaves , since the ratepayers are not using rooftop solar which gives them the ability to generate their own Energy for free ( after initial payback ) for 30 plus years . . . So look to Utilities to keep their future Utility Energy costs just slightly above the cost of adding solar to one roof , since that will maximize Utility profits and minimize the number of ratepayers that install their own Solar ! The one great unknown is if new battery / storage technology will " overnight " change the above calculations since low cost batteries could be yet another reason to keep what you generate , instead of adding it to the Grid , something that Utilities would fight tooth and nail because it would reduce the amount of their profits . SaniK I hope a future president will come forward and challenge the power companies as well as invest more taxpayer monies into solar and other renewable energy . CaptD SaniK - You can be sure the Old School BIG Energy Donors ( especially Coal & Nuclear ) will try and nip that in the bud , since that will reduce their hold upon their ratepayers ( aka Their Energy Slaves ) . sivadasan Find a Swanson chart up to 2014 .

The source for the Forbes chart is Bloomberg which is generally reliable . First Solar ( thin film ) has stated that they expected their costs to drop to the mid - thirty cent range by 2017 . If someone has manged to get there sooner , that ' s great . eta : Second look . That ' s a chart of cell price , not module price . Cells are the individual slices of silicon crystal that make up a solar panel / module . So , yes , 36 cents in 2014 is reliable . In fact , high . Last week cell prices were as low as 32 cents . http : / / pvinsights . com / The low price for modules was 61 cents ( silicon ) and 65 cents ( thin film ) . That price would require large volume purchasing . You can find the best current small volume prices here - http : / / www . ecobusinesslinks . . . sivadasan Thanks Bob MIchael G This is all great news , and no one wants solar to completely replace fossil fuels more than I do , but the numbers to achieve that goal are daunting . The logistic growth curve governs population growth and the spread of technology . I tried using it for solar and the numbers are so tiny compared to the total electricity used on earth that the logistic equation ca n ' t give anything meaningful . So I tried exponential growth to the 50 % level which is when the growth starts tapering off using the logistic eqn . Assuming doubling every 2 years ( 41 % growth ) , with solar generation of 128 GWh in 2012 and current global usage of 840 TWh ( 840,000 GWh ) I get 20 years ( 2032 ) to get to the 50 % level . Actually longer , because global electricity usage is growing as well . Not bad , but not as soon as I ' d hoped . We need to reduce GHG emissions by Sources : http : / / en . wikipedia . org / wik . . . http : / / www . climatecommunica . . . Bob_Wallace I think the IPCC says 40 % to 70 % by 2050 . That ' s 40 - 70 % from 2005 levels . Let ' s stick with the US for the moment . In 2005 we obtained 71.9 % of our electricity from fossil fuels ( coal , NG , petroleum ) . In 2013 we obtained 67.5 % of our electricity from fossil fuels . So that ' s 6 % out of the way . To be safe let ' s go for the big number - 70 % . We ' ve got 64 % to go over the next 35 years . If we cut a solid 1.8 % per year we ' re there - down 70 % by 2050 . From 2013 to 2014 we moved about 1 % from fossil fuels to wind . I suspect we ' ll keep increasing wind installation rates and solar should easily get over 1 % per year . 1 % from wind + 1 % from solar + some extra from geothermal , hydro , tidal and biofuel and we ' re heading for home . And , for the US and a lot of the rest of the developing world , electricity consumption is slowing / falling thanks to efficiency . stucrmnx120fshwf โข 2 years ago If solar energy is 1 % of power in 2015 , if the amount of solar energy grew by 40 times , between 2005 and 2015 , one decade , then that ' s 40 % by 2025 and 16,000 % by 2035 , now you make the assumption that when it reaches 100 % , it will stop , why ? After all in every industrial revolution , first efficient steam , then mass manufactured internal combustion engines and electricity , cheap energy and transportation , has resulted in massive increases in energy consumption . I would actually argue If solar energy is dramatically cheaper , than carbon energy , for starters , it will simply out compete carbon and capital flows will move to it , just as capital went to hydrocarbon vehicles and away from horses , 1915 - 25 . As well as to electricity , just as in the first and second industrial revolutions , there was heroic engineering , I see no reason for this not to happen . If electric cars , cost 1 / 6 th as much to fuel , 1 / 10 th as much to maintain and induction charging โข 2 years ago There ' s this thing called market saturation . . . . Anumakonda Jagadeesh No doubt Solar power generation cost has come down , how about solar cell Efficiency ? Dr . A . Jagadeesh Nellore ( AP ) , India It ' s going up , but silicon solar has n ' t on the market much . First Solar ' s thin - film solar has , and some high - efficiency products from SunPower have . I imagine more efficiency improvements will come sporadically in the coming years , while costs continue to fall . Joseph Falco What happens when there is no sun ? How I get heat ? Rub two sticks together and burn your coffee table . ( Or were you asking a serious question / ) Don Miller Good article but slanted in the sense that there ' s no mention of ongoing maintenance on panels or deterioration of solar panels over time nor the life expectancy of panels exposed to sun , rain , ice , snow and bird droppings . Maintenance is almost nothing . Panels in rainy areas generally are n ' t ' cleaned . In dry , dusty areas there are now robots doing the job and that should be very inexpensive . Panel failure rates are very low . One study had a < 2 % panel failure rate over 20 + years . Newer panels should have even lower failure rates due to better connection boxes and lamination ( the reasons for failure ) . Panel deterioration is low . The NREL states that panels manufactured post the year 2000 should lose no more than 0.4 % output per year . Much lower in places with lower UV rates and the absence of high wind / snow loading . We simply do n ' t know how long solar panels will last . The earliest installed array is now about 40 years old . At age 35 the panels were taken down and tested under lab conditions . They had lost an average of 0.1 % per year . 96.1 % of original output after 35 years . http : / / www . presse . uni - olden . . . Don Miller Thanks for your informative answer . Researched your reply and found it to be accurate . Ajay Money is only one small part . . . . . . the free ride that all other power sources are enjoying . . . . . unaccounted cost of pollution to health , environmental damage and open ended nuclear waste liabilities must be included for a fair comparison . . . . . . suggest you change all your charts when you compare solar with " other " energy sources . . . and then watch the fun . . . ! ! ! ! solar_power_installation โข 3 years ago The thing regarding the cost is irrelevant now . You can save every month with no money down on installation . That means that based on the budget you have now without any money out of pocket , in a couple months from now , you can have a state of the art system on your roof at no cost and save the very first month . Solar energy is cheaper than any other resource we have . The problem as a home owner has always been the upfront cost which now does n ' t exist . You call David Awesome collection . David Shawn Well , I think solar panels are like one time investment . People produces enough electricity to fulfill their energy needs without paying any bill and this is the main reason why people are adopting this technology worldwide .

http://clearclinic.com/fraxel/ | Fraxel Laser Acne Scar Treatment What is the Fraxel laser treatment ? Fraxel is a non - ablative fractional laser treatment that is often used in the treatment of acne scarring . It is named the โ Fraxel โ since it only treats a small fraction of the skin each visit , leaving healthy skin between the treatment areas in order to decrease healing time . How does the Fraxel work for acne scarring ? The Fraxel laser uses microscopic columns of laser energy to penetrate into the skin โ s deeper layers in order to stimulate your body โ s own healing process . This stimulates the body to produce healthy collagen in order to repair the damaged skin . The Fraxel treatment can smooth out acne scars , in addition to treating the red and brown marks often left behind after acne lesions . What type of scarring can the Fraxel treat ? The Fraxel laser is used for many types of scars , though it is particularly effective in the treatment of acne scarring . Atrophic ( โ pitted โ ) scars , red scars and post - inflammatory hyperpigmentation ( โ brown โ ) scars all respond very well to the Fraxel laser treatment . The Fraxel treatment is safe for all skin types , even darker skin types such as African American , Asian and Indian skin , as it does not target melanin ( the pigmented cell found in the skin . ) Patients of all skin types with What can I expect during the Fraxel treatment ? Upon arriving in the office , we will clean your skin thoroughly and then apply a numbing cream to the surface of your skin . The numbing cream will remain on your skin for approximately one hour . The cream will be removed immediately prior to the treatment . The Fraxel laser treatment of the face takes approximately 30 minutes . You may feel a warm sensation , but you should feel more than very minimal discomfort . We will review post - treatment skin care instructions before you leave the office . Is there any downtime after the Fraxel laser treatment ? After the treatment , you may experience mild swelling and redness for 2 - 3 days . This is similar to very severe sunburn . Most patients feel comfortable leaving the house , but may not want to have the treatment performed immediately prior to any social engagements . After 2 - 3 days , your skin will look okay and you may resume normal work and social engagements . How many Fraxel treatments are required for acne scars ? Most patients require 3 - 4 treatments of the Fraxel laser in order to treat acne scars . | [

http://clearmedicaresolutions.com/medicare-prescription-drug-plans/ | Medicare Prescription Drug Plans Since January 1 , 2006 , Medicare Prescription Drug Plans ( Medicare Part D ) have been available to everyone with Original Medicare You have to get Medicare Part D through a private insurance company that is contracted with Medicare to offer these plans . Different insurers offer different types of plans , so your cost for the plan ( premium ) , the drugs covered , and your out - of - pocket expenses for prescription drugs ( copayments , coinsurance and deductible ) will vary . If you decide not to join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan when you โ re first eligible , and you do n โ t have other creditable prescription drug coverage , or you do n โ t get Extra Help ( described below ) , you โ ll likely pay a late enrollment penalty . Creditable prescription drug coverage means other drug coverage you may have now that is at least as good as a standard Medicare Prescription Drug Plan , Before we cover Medicare Prescription Drug Plans in depth , you might find these resources helpful : The Medicare Part D Coverage Gap โ Secret โ That Smart Seniors Must Know Medicare Part D Formularies โ Why It Pays To Shop Around Medicare Prescription Drug Plans : 6 Tips to Help You Choose and Keep the Right Plan In general , there are two ways to get Medicare Prescription Drug coverage : Enroll in a stand - alone plan . These plans ( sometimes called โ PDPs โ ) add drug coverage to Original Medicare . Most people who purchase a Medicare supplement policy enroll in one of these stand - alone plans . You can choose any plan available in your service area . Enroll in a Medicare Advantage ( Medicare Part C ) plan . You get all of your Medicare Part A , Medicare Part B , and prescription drug coverage ( Part D ) , through any of these plans offered in your service area . Medicare Prescription Drug Plans 2014 Medicare Part D covers the cost of prescription drugs . The amount of coverage will depend on the drugs you take , and whether or not you are in the Coverage Gap or in Catastrophic Coverage . Part D coverage typically works like this : You pay a monthly premium to be covered under the plan If the plan has a deductible , you pay the full amount of your prescription drug purchases until the deductible is met . After you satisfy the deductible , you will pay a share of the costs according to your specific plan . This is usually a flat amount ( copayment ) . You typically pay this amount directly to the pharmacist at the time of purchase . This is called the Initial Coverage After you and your Part D coverage has paid a certain amount for prescription drugs ( $ 2850 in 2014 ) , you will 47.5 % of name brand drugs and 72 % of generic drugs . This is called the Coverage Gap or Donut Hole Once your out - of - pocket expenses ( as defined by Medicare ) reach $ 4,550 ( in 2014 ) , you are automatically in the Catastrophic Coverage phase . This means for the rest of that particular year , you would only pay a small copayment or coinsurance amount for prescription drugs . The chart below illustrates the three โ stages of a Prescription Drug Plan : Total Drug Costs : The amount you pay and the plan pays for prescription drugs . This does not include premiums . Out - of Pocket Costs : The amount you pay and the plan pays for name brand drugs , and what only you pay for generic drugs . This does not include premiums . Note that Medicare Part D coverage may differ from plan to plan . Some drugs ( for example brand - name drugs vs . generic drugs ) are covered at different levels . Each insurance company determines what drug is covered at which levels . Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Donut Hole The coverage gap starts when your total drug costs โ including what you and your plan have paid for drugs โ reaches a certain amount since the start of the calendar year . In 2014 , this amount is generally $ 2,850 . When you reach this amount , you hit the coverage gap . As a result of health reform , you get discounts to help you pay for your drugs during the coverage gap . In 2014 , there is a 52.5 percent manufacturer โ s discount on most brand - name drugs . This means you pay 47.5 percent for brand - name drugs listed on your Part D plan โ s formulary , and the manufacturer plus the federal government together pay 52.5 percent . For generic drugs , the government provides a 28 percent discount in 2014 . These discounts will gradually increase each year until 2020 . Starting in 2020 , you will typically pay no more than 25 percent of the cost of your drug at any point during the year after you โ ve met your deductible . Medicare Part D Drug List Each plan has a list of drugs that are covered . It is call the formulary . The formulary will vary from plan to plan . It is important that you and / or your agent review the formulary of any prospective plans to insure that your prescription drugs are covered in that formulary . Many Medicare Prescription Drug Plans place drugs into different โ tiers โ on their formularies . Drugs in each tier have a different cost . A drug in a lower tier will generally cost you less than a drug in a higher tier . In some cases , if your drug is on a higher tier and your prescriber thinks you need that drug instead of a similar drug on a lower tier , you or your prescriber can ask your plan for an exception to get a lower copayment . A Medicare drug plan can make some changes to its formulary during the year within guidelines set by Medicare . If the change involves a drug you โ re currently taking , your plan must do one of these : Provide written notice to you at least 60 days prior to the date the change becomes effective . At the time you request a refill , provide written notice of the change and a 60 - day supply of the drug under the same plan rules as before the change . Medicare Prescription Drug Plans may have these coverage rules : Prior authorization : You and / or your doctor must contact the drug plan before you can fill certain prescriptions . Your prescriber may need to show that the drug is medically necessary for the plan to cover it . Quantity limits : Limits on how much medication you can get at a time . Step therapy : You must try one or more similar , lower cost drugs before the plan will cover the prescribed drug . If you or your doctor believe that one of these coverage rules should be waived , you can ask your plan for an exception Medicare Part D Premiums Prescription Drug Plan monthly premiums range from a low of $ 15.00 to over $ 90.00 , depending on the insurance company , the plan you choose , your prescriptions , deductibles and copays . If your modified adjusted gross income as reported on your IRS tax return is above a certain amount ( $ 85,000 filing individually or $ 170,000 filing jointly ) you may pay more than the plan โ s advertised monthly premium . Also , you may pay a permanent , monthly late enrollment penalty in addition to the regular monthly premium if you did n โ t join a Medicare Part D plan during your initial enrollment period . . It increases the longer you go without other prescription drug coverage . A good place to compare Medicare Prescription Drug Plans is Medicare โ s website . ( Medicare . gov ) Medicare Part D Enrollment Everyone who is eligible for Original Medicare can get a Medicare prescription drug plan . You must live in the service area for the particular plan that you are considering and continue to pay your Part B premium , if applicable . There are several election periods : Initial Enrollment Period ( IEP ) You can enroll when you first become eligible for Medicare . Your Initial Enrollment Period ( IEP ) is a seven - month period that starts 3 months before the month you turn 65 , includes the month you turn 65 , and ends 3 months after the month you turn 65 . Open Enrollment Period ( OEP ) If you are already enrolled in Original Medicare , then you must wait until the next enrollment period to sign up for a prescription drug plan . The Open Enrollment Period ( OEP ) is October 15 through December 7 . During this time you can join , switch or drop a Medicare drug plan . The plan coverage chosen during the OEP begins on January 1 of the next year . Special Enrollment Period ( SEP ) Generally , once you enroll , you stay enrolled and you have the option to switch plans when the next Open Enrollment Period ( OEP ) opens . However , there are some situations that might qualify you to make a change during the rest of the year . This is called a Special Election Period ( SEP ) . Some examples of these situations include ( but are not limited to ) : You move outside your Medicare Advantage Plan โ s service area You qualify for Extra Help ( a program to help you afford prescription drugs ) You qualify for Medicaid ( Medi - Cal in California ) If you move into an institution ( such as a nursing home ) You are leaving employer or union coverage . Lose other creditable prescription drug coverage Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Star Ratings A prescription drug plans comparison would not be complete without looking at the Star Rating of the plans in your area Medicare wants is to make sure that the quality level of Medicare Advantage Plans stays high and consistent . In this effort , Advantage Plans are each year are rated on a scale ranging from 1 to 5 stars . One star represents poor performance , while a five - star rating is considered excellent . Plan Ratings are published each year in fall , before the open enrollment period begins and beneficiaries may enroll in or switch plans . The overall score makes it easy for Medicare beneficiaries ( that โ s you ) to compare plans , based on quality and past performance . Medicare uses several criteria to asses the quality of Prescription drug plans . The information is taken from member satisfaction surveys and health care providers in order to give overall performance star ratings . The criteria for plans covers the following topics : Staying healthy , including how often members got various screening tests , vaccines , and other check - ups that help them stay healthy . Managing chronic ( long - term ) conditions , including how often members got certain tests and treatments that help them manage their condition Health plan responsiveness and care , including ratings of member satisfaction with the plan Customer service , including how well the plan handles calls and makes decisions about member appeals Member complaints and Medicare audit findings , including how often members filed a complaint about the drug plan and findings from Medicare โ s audit of the plan Member experience with the drug plan , including member satisfaction Drug pricing and patient safety , including how well the drug plan prices prescriptions and provides updated information on the Medicare website , and how often members with certain medical conditions get prescription drugs that are considered safer and clinically recommended for their condition . Get Help Paying Your Health and Prescription Drug Costs If you have limited income and resources , you may qualify for help to pay for some health care and prescription drug costs . The program is called Extra Help . It is a subsidy from the Federal government . It helps pay for the Medicare Part D premium , yearly deductible , coinsurance and copayments . You will also have no coverage gap or late enrollment penalty . Currently , to qualify for Extra Help , also called the low income subsidy ( LIS ) , your yearly income and resources must be below these limits : Single person : Income less than $ 17,505 and countable resources less than $ 13,440 . Married person living with a spouse and no other dependents : Income less than $ 23,595 and countable resources less than $ 26,860 . We are always asked what is included and not included in the . Here is the official list : Countable resources include : Money in a checking or savings account Stocks Bonds Countable resources do n โ t include : Your home One car Burial plot Up to $ 1,500 for burial expenses if you have put that money aside Furniture Other household and personal items You automatically qualify for Extra Help if you have Medicare and meet any of these conditions : Have full Medicaid coverage Get help from your state Medicaid program paying your Part B premiums . Get Supplemental Security Income ( SSI ) benefits More Help You may qualify for Medicaid ( called Medi - Cal in California ) . It helps with medical costs for some people with even more limited income and resources . Medicaid also offers benefits not normally covered by Medicare like nursing home care and personal care services . If you qualify for Medi - Cal , you automatically qualify for Extra Help paying for your Medicare prescription drug coverage ( Part D ) .

These fun - filled triangles are the perfect appetizer for cheese lovers . Could be made with phyllo . Freezes impressively well ! It โ s savory recipe time y โ aaaaaaall ! Finally ! Which meeeeeans โฆ cheese has got to be involved ! Ofcourse . What else ? If you โ ve been following along through my baby 8 months of blogging , you โ ve probably noticed a pattern here . Out of the 4 lonely savory recipes I โ ve shared , 100 % of them include cheese . Can you blame me ? Gooey , molteny , cheesy mess is just too hard to resist . Evidence here here and And now comes this โฆ CHEESE LOVERS SAMOSAS โฆ because one type of cheese , just wo n โ t do . We โ re going with THREE ! Mozzarella . Cream cheese . Feta . Cradled in the crunchiest , pastry pocket . Can we just cut to the chase and deem this the real โ Love Triangle โ already ? Samosas , or as we call them in Egypt , Samboosak , are these thin pastry triangles filled with yummy stuff , then fried ( or baked , if you wanna go the innocent route ) until golden and crunchy . The filling is usually savory , like minced meat or vegetables , but I โ ve tried sweet fillings and OMG yum ! How are sweet samosas not a thing ? ! Let โ s make it a thing ! Samosas are believed to have originated in Central Asia , but they โ re also super popular in South Asia , the Arabian peninsula , the Mediterranean and some parts of Africa . They are the nicest appetizer year round , but for some reason , they โ re mostly associated with the fasting month of Ramadan . Most often than not , you โ ll find a platter of some type of samosa highlighting an Iftar ( meal of breaking fast ) spread . At least around these parts . My mom has made a habit of making these incredibly delicious cheese samosas , whenever we โ d go over for dinner . Ramadan or not . She knows we love them so much , because they โ re always the first thing to disappear . Plus โฆ they โ re always a hit with the kiddos ! Ofcourse I had to ask her for the recipe to give it to you , because we โ re friends by now . Right ? Bless her heart , she was more than happy to share . The inside of the samosa will remind you of slightly saltier cheese fries . Oh yeah โฆ we โ re not kidding around here . But you know how cheese fries become so rubbery after they cool down to the extent of being inedible ? Yeaaaaah โฆ well these do n โ t do that ! How awesome is that ? ! Cream cheese is the key here . The addition of cream cheese to the mozzarella , keeps the filling nice and soft and creamy , even upon cooling . Just a tiny bit of feta adds saltiness and depth of flavor so it โ s not mild and blah . You could use any salty , creamy white cheese of your choice instead or omit it all together . Alternatively , you could swap the mozzarella with any similar melty cheese combo you prefer , like Tex Mex ! Feel free to spice the mixture up if you โ re in the mood . Italian seasoning , But for your base , here โ s what you โ ll need : Samosa sheets ( or phyllo . Or spring roll wrappers ! ) , mozzarella , cream cheese , feta , and an edible glue made by combining flour with a little water . You โ ll start by combining the 3 cheeses together . And now you โ re all set to fold ! Now it might seem a little tricky at first to get that perfectly shaped triangle , but I promise you โ ll get the hang of it after ruining trying a couple . Here โ s a great tutorial that really helped me out ; I highly recommend you check it out . But I โ m still bombarding you with step - by - step pictures , nevertheless . Laying the samosa sheet flat , you โ ll grab the top right corner of the sheet , and fold it halfway down to the left side . Add some of the flour paste to adhere the fold that has formed to the long sheet . Add a little more paste to the right hand side of the sheet . Why so much glue you ask ? It traps your cheese filling inside so it does n โ t go anywhere as you fry . Now bring the triangle that has formed on the left side , down to the right side , landing on the paste you just added . A cone shape should now be formed . You โ ll wanna make sure that the corner of the cone is nice and tight and does n โ t have a big hole , so the filling does n โ t escape during frying . Now cup that cone in your hand and start filling with the cheese mixture using your other hand . A tablespoon and half is a good amount . You do n โ t want to skimp on the filling , but you do n โ t want to overfill it either or it could ooze out during frying . Tip : Use a small ice cream scoop to fill ; makes releasing the cheese mixture a breeze . Now lay the filled cone / sheet back onto the working surface , and lightly flatten the filling with your hand . Dab some more of the flour paste on all the remaining sides . Now all there โ s left to do is fold down the filled cone to the left side , then fold down once again to the right side . See that little tail sticking out ? Just stick it to the triangle . Perfect ! No ? Did n โ t quite get it ? Then keep scrolling for a little GIF โฆ Flip , stick , flop , fill , stick , flip , flop , flip โฆ Done ! Now keep them nice and cold in the freezer until you โ re ready to fry , or save them in there for a rainy day ! Freezing is a little extra insurance that the cheese will not seep out while frying , but you could still fry right away if you want : ) Here โ s the thing ; we โ re not deep frying here โฆ we โ re only using juuuuust enough oil to cover less than half way up the samosas . This will prevent the cheese filling from getting all rebellious and wanting to escape . Also โฆ makes it diet food โฆ teeehhheeee : ) ) ) A few minutes on each side and VOILA ! All ready to grace the iftar table . Now bring on the dates and karkadeh ( a traditional Ramadani hibiscus drink ) . Oh my Gosh ! Yum ! Remember when I said it will remind you of the inside of cheese fries ? Which brings me โฆ Ummm โฆ WHERE โ S THAT MARINARA DIP ? ! ! ! Yield : 20 to 22 Samosas Three Cheese Samosas ( Samboosak ) Print A stringy , ooey , gooey mixture of mozzarella , feta and cream cheese wrapped in a crunchy samosa dough pocket . These fun - filled triangles are the perfect appetizer for cheese lovers . Could be made with phyllo ! * Consider doubling the recipe and storing them in the freezer for whenever you need some . Prep Time 1 hour Cook Time 5 minutes Additional Time 15 minutes Total Time 1 hour 20 minutes Ingredients 22 samosa sheets , about half of a 500g package ( could be substituted with phyllo dough or spring roll wrappers . * See note ) , thawed 350g / 12.4oz ( 3 cups ) mozzarella cheese ( similar melty cheese may be substituted ) , shredded 8 squares Kiri or 113g / 4oz cream cheese , softened 1 1 / 2 tablespoons ( 21g / 3 / 4oz ) creamy , salty white cheese , like creamy feta , barameely or istanboli 2 tablespoons all - purpose flour , for sealing dough 2 1 / 2 tablespoons water , for sealing dough Vegetable oil , for frying Instructions In a medium bowl , mash together with a fork the cream cheese and salty white cheese until smooth . Add the mozzarella cheese and stir together until well combined . Set aside . In a small bowl , stir together the flour and water until smooth and form a paste similar in consistency to white glue . Working with one samosa sheet at a time , keep the rest covered under a tea towel , to prevent from drying out . ( * If using phyllo or spring roll wrapper , please see note below ) To fold and fill the sheet , follow the instructions on the back of package or please refer to the pictured instructions in the post above or watch this tutorial . Start by bringing the top right corner of the sheet , halfway down to the left side . From the top , you should be able to see a triangle forming underneath . Add some of the flour paste to adhere the fold that has formed to the long sheet . Add a little more paste to the right hand side of the sheet . Now bring the triangle that has formed on the left side , down to the right side , landing on the paste you just added . A cone shape should now be formed . Make sure that the corner of the cone is tight and does n ' t have a big hole , so the filling does n ' t escape during frying . Lift the samosa sheet from the working surface and let it rest on the palm of your left hand . With your right hand , using a spoon ( I prefer to using a small ice cream scoop for easy release ) , stuff the cone with about 1 1 / 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture . Place the filled cone / sheet back onto the working surface , and lightly flatten the filling with your hand . Dab some of the flour paste on all the remaining sides . Fold down the filled cone to the left side , then fold down once again to the right side . You should now have a perfect triangle with a little tail sticking out . Bring the tail up and adhere it to the triangle . Now you have a perfectly shaped samosa triangle . Repeat with the remaining sheets . Keep the wrapped samosas cold in the freezer until you ' re ready to fry ( at least until you heat the oil ) or fully freeze and store in zipper lock bags for up to 1 month . Just let them thaw slightly , for 10 to 15 minutes before frying . To fry the samosas , fill a skillet with enough oil just to cover the bottom of the skillet . DO NOT deep fry the samosas in lots of oil or the cheese will ooze out . Heat over medium heat until shimmering . Place enough samosas to fill the skillet without overcrowding it . Fry for about 2 to 3 minutes on the first side until golden brown in color , then turn them to the other side and cook for another minute or two until nicely browned as well . Transfer to paper towels to drain then arrange on to a serving platter to serve . Best enjoyed while still warm , so the cheese is still ooey and gooey . When cooled , the cheese filling will remain nice and soft but not melty and oozy . Recipe Notes If using phyllo dough , cut each sheet in half from the long side . Working with one half sheet at a time , cover the remaining phyllo with a damp cloth to avoid drying out . Fold each half sheet in half , so you have a double layer , thin rectangular sheet , similar in size to the samosa wrappers . Proceed with step 4 . Note that the phyllo fries a lot faster than samosa wrappers . Similarly , if using spring roll wrappers , cut accordingly to form a long , thin triangle . Filled ( not fried ) samosas keep really well in the freezer for up to 1 month . You could double ( or quadruple ) the quantity and store in the freezer in zipper lock bags until needed . Just allow to thaw a little , for about 10 to 15 minutes , until you heat the oil , before frying . They fry really well from frozen .

http://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2018/10/initiative-i-1631-at-odds-with.html | Cliff Mass Weather and Climate Blog Sunday October 21 2018 Initiative I1631 At Odds with Democratic Values I1631 not only has profound problems that makes it an ineffective approach for dealing with anthropogenic climate change but it is at odds with the democratic values of our state and nation These problems are compounded by the fact that many I1631 supporters have been willing to follow a disturbingly divisive and untruthful approach in their advocacy A Failure of the Democratic System Our nation is a representative democracy in which we elect representatives who are responsible for making policy If their efforts are unsatisfactory they are voted out of office When it comes to producing policy regarding climate change from putting a price on carbon to making investments in climate resilience the Washington State legislature and Governor have performed poorly Even with one party controlling the governorship and both houses of the legislature little was accomplished during the past session or during previous ones of dualparty leadership Two years ago another carbon initiative I732 proposed a straightforward revenueneutral approach that returned all the carbon tax money to the people It was fair to lowincome folks and had the potential to spread around the nation I732 failed mainly because a group of social action groups The Alliance some labor unions Indian tribes and a few environment groups eg the Sierra Club worked against it Why Because they disliked the revenue neutrality and wanted access to the carbon tax funds Concern about climate change was clearly not their priority This year essentially the same group social action groups officeworker labor unions and local Indian tribes came up with I1631 which puts a fee on carbon but would use the funds to support the goals of the I1631 coalition climate justice clean up air and water push clean energy training of workers public health But their initiative has a major problem it essentially takes representative government out of the picture and is a deviation from representative democracy without precedent in state history How By putting the control of vast sums of money from the carbon tax into the hands of a board of 15 individuals with only one of them being elected the commissioner of public lands We are talking about tens of billions of dollars and major policies that could substantially alter the business environment health and safety of all of our citizens Washington State has many boards but none of them decide on spending priorities for billions of dollars So what I1631 proposes is an unprecedented invasion into the prerogatives of our legislative system Making such policy decisions and deciding how to spend such vast sums is the job of our elected representatives and it is profoundly undemocratic and contrary to the core values of our State and nation to push the role on an unelected board There is nothing wrong with an initiative that allows the people to vote on specific proposalsthis represents direct democracy But 1631 is not like thatit dumps huge sums of cash into a pot that the unelected board can disperse as it sees fit Now some I1631 supporters might object to the above saying that the state legislature could intervene if it wished But is it likely to do so when it has repeatedly failed to show any leadership in this area with many prominent legislators energetic supporters of I1631 And the pressure to go along with pork distributed by the board will be overwhelming The Future I1631 Board Room But the undermining of our democratic traditions by the I1631 crowd goes beyond this Why Because the undemocratic nature of I1631 is reflected in the attitudes actions and words of many of its most vocal supporters who have followed a divisive and untruthful approach that undermines the democratic process I1631 advocates and official information have a persistent problem of not telling the truth For example their ads talk about making the States Big Polluters Pay That they can afford to pay this fee without raising prices on you So if you vote for I1631 big polluters will cover all the costs And you will get lots of benefits see part of their flyer that landed in my mailbox yesterday if you dont believe me This claim is TOTAL NONSENSE Oil companies will pass on any carbon fee directly to the consumers They have always done so in the past I asked an oil company representative about ityep you will get the bill So big polluters and oil companies wont pay for the I1631 fee the citizens of the state will The repeated claims by the I1631 crowd is a total untruthand they have to know it I1631 brochures and web pages make grand claims of how they will clean up the air and water of our state But there is no plan in the initiative on how they will do it And their primary member and contributor the Nature Conservancy claims I1631 will take care of the unhealthy smoke see below but how it will do so is left to the imagination Forest scientists are very explicit that to deal with the eastside forest fires it will take a huge investment of hundreds of millions of dollars to thin the forests remove debris and bring back prescribed fires 1631 only dedicates 30 of the funds to forest air and water recovery and public health Under 1631 the money needed to fix our explosive eastside forests again hundreds of millions to billions of dollars will never be available Their claim of solving the wildfiresmoke problem is a tall taleand a dishonest one at that The great irony in all this is that the Yes on I1631 crowd accuses the oil companies of lying see below Talk about the pot calling the kettle black They lie about lying But the dishonest ways of several I1631 supporters and leadership are made worse by their toxic and divisive tactics For example many are spewing really hateful stuff about Republicanssaying that they are selfish and dont care about global warming This is divisive and untruemany Republicans want to deal with global warming and to make our State more resilient to climate change A good example is the youthful American Conservation Coalition led by 20year old Benji Backer a UW student Or major Republican leaders like Rob McKenna Slade Gorton and recent Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill Bryant I gave a talk to the Rotary Club in Yakima on Global Warmingand they were nearly all Republicans They were worried about climate change and wanted to deal with the resulting water supply issues Denigrating individuals and groups with different opinions and name calling for those disagreeing with you is toxic for democracy Just as bad are the meanspirited social media attacks by leaders of the Yes on I1631 organization on anyone with a different viewpoint For example Nick Abraham paid head of communication of Yes on 1631 has been making nasty accusations against those who dont support I1631 Here his recent unpleasant tweet against moderate Republican Bill Bryant an environmentalist who ran for Governor in 2016 He has sent similar messages to others And Izzy the Iguana the Regional Field Director of Yes on 1631 send me toxic messages telling me I was a racist for writing a blog criticizing I1631 This kind of meanspirited ad hominem attacks have no place in the debate on policy in a democratic society It says a lot about the values or lack of values of some of the I1631 leadership And it is even worse than that Some members of the I1631 coalitions are trying harassment of those with different opinions I have experienced this myself Last month Jesse Piedfort the Director of the Washington State Chapter of the Sierra Club which opposed I732 by the way and a major member of the I1631 coalition made a formal public records request to the UW for all my emails dealing with carbon initiatives and all communications with oil companies He is going to be disappointed I have no email traffic with oil companies and have no relationship with them But such requests are chilling and a notsosubtle form In many ways the I1631 crowd are following the playbook of the one individual they despise Donald Trump Lying and suggesting that opponents are evil and subhuman is his stock in trade Several I1631 advocates are following his approach Democracy is a fragile thing and our most precious inheritance The I1631 effort appears to think that their cause is so noble and right that they are willing to undermine basic democratic principles by giving huge powers to a board of unelected individuals and to demonize those who oppose them If you care about democratic values you must vote no on this poorly written ineffective initiative Either our elected representatives must step up to the plate and put together a real plan or an initiative that explicitly spells out policy and programs is needed Finally so much of the impetus of the Yes on 1631 campaign is that we have to do something History teaches us that doing something ineffective and undemocratic is worse than doing nothing at all If I1631 passes truly useful approaches will be pushed aside and special interests will be enriched We have to do something logic often produces bad results Posted by Cliff Mass at 711 AM Email This BlogThis Subscribe to Post Comments Atom | [

http://climate.rutgers.edu/stateclim/?target=NJCoverview | The Climate of New Jersey New Jersey is located about halfway between the Equator and the North Pole , on the eastern coast of the United States . Its geographic location results in the State being influenced by wet , dry , hot , and cold airstreams , making for daily weather that is highly variable . The Garden State is 166 miles long from north to south , and its greatest width is about 65 miles . While this may not seem too large , there is a marked difference in climate between Cape May in the south and the Kittatinny Mountains of northwestern New Jersey . The dominant feature of the atmospheric circulation over North America , including New Jersey , is the broad , undulating flow from west to east across the middle latitudes of the continent . These " prevailing westerlies " shift north and south and vary in strength during the course of the year , exerting a major influence on the weather throughout the State . Some general observations about the temperature and precipitation in New Jersey include : 1 ) Temperature differences between the northern and southern parts of the state are greatest in the winter and least in summer . All stations have registered readings of 100 degrees F or higher and have records of 0 degrees F or below . 2 ) Average number of freeze free days in the northern highlands is 163 , 179 in the central and southern interior , and 217 along the seacoast . 3 ) Average annual precipitation ranges from about 40 inches along the southeast coast to 51 inches in north - central parts of the state . Many areas average between 43 and 47 inches . 4 ) Snow may fall from about October 15 to April 30 in the highlands and from about November 15 to April 15 in southern counties . 5 ) Most areas receive 25 to 30 thunderstorms per year , with fewer storms near the coast than farther inland . Approximately five tornadoes occur each year , and in general , they tend to be weak . 6 ) Measurable precipitation falls on approximately 120 days . Fall months are usually the driest with an average of eight days with measurable precipitation . Other seasons average between 9 and 12 days per month with measurable precipitation . Although New Jersey is one of the smallest states in the Union , with a land area of 7,836 square miles , it has five distinct climate regions . The geology , distance from the Atlantic Ocean , and prevailing atmospheric flow patterns produce distinct variations in the daily weather between each of the regions . The five regions , Northern , Central , Pine Barrens , Southwest , and Coastal , are described below and shown in the accompanying figure . Northern Zone The Northern climate zone covers about one - quarter of New Jersey and consists mainly of elevated highlands and valleys which are part of the Appalachian Uplands . Surrounded by land , this region can be characterized as having a continental type of climate with minimal influence from the Atlantic Ocean , except when the winds contain an easterly component . Prevailing winds are from the southwest in summer and from the northwest in winter . Being in the northernmost portion of the state , and with small mountains up to 1800 feet in elevation , the Northern Zone normally exhibits a colder temperature regime than other climate regions of the State . This difference is most dramatic in winter when average temperatures in the Northern Zone can be more than ten degrees Fahrenheit cooler than in the Coastal Zone . Annual snowfall averages 40 to 50 inches in the northern zone as compared with an average of 10 - 15 inches in the extreme south . A storm track extending from the heart of the Mississippi Valley , over the Great Lakes , and along the St . Lawrence Valley is a major source of precipitation for this region . Coastal storms , with precipitation shields that reach well enough inland add to the precipitation totals . The highlands and mountains in this area play a role in making the climate of the Northern Zone different from the rest of the state . Clouds and precipitation are enhanced by orographic effects . For instance , following a cold frontal passage , air forced to rise over the mountains , produces clouds , and even precipitation , while the rest of the state observes clear skies . The latter is due in part to subsiding air flowing off the highlands . During the warm season , thunderstorms are responsible for most of the rainfall . Cyclones and frontal passages are less frequent during this time . Thunderstorms spawned in Pennsylvania and New York State often move into Northern New Jersey , where they often reach maximum development in the evening . This region has about twice as many thunderstorms as the coastal zone , where the nearby ocean helps stabilize the atmosphere . The Northern Climate Zone usually has the shortest growing season , about 155 days . The average date for the last killing Spring frost is May 4 . The first frost in Fall is around October 7 . The exact dates vary significantly within the region as well as from year to year . Some valley locations have observed killing frost in mid - September and as late as mid - June . Central Zone The Central Zone has a northeast to southwest orientation , running from New York Harbor and the Lower Hudson River to the great bend of the Delaware River in the vicinity of Trenton . This region has many urban locations with large amounts of pollutants produced by the high volume of automobile traffic and industrial processes . The concentration of buildings and paved surfaces serve to retain more heat , thereby affecting the local temperatures . Because of the asphalt , brick , and concrete , the observed nighttime temperatures in heavily developed parts of the zone are regularly warmer The northern edge of the Central Zone is often the boundary between freezing and non - freezing precipitation during wintertime . In summer , the northern reaches often mark the boundary between comfortable and uncomfortable sleeping conditions . Areas to the south of the Central Zone tend to have nearly twice as many days with temperatures above 90 degrees F than the 15 - 20 commonly observed in the central portion of the state . Pine Barrens Zone Scrub pine and oak forests dominate the interior southern portion of New Jersey , hence the name , Pine Barrens . Sandy soils , which are porous and not very fertile , have a major effect on the climate of this region . On clear nights , solar radiation absorbed during the day is quickly radiated back into space , resulting in surprisingly low minimum temperatures . Atlantic City Airport , which is surrounded by sandy soil , can be 15 - 20 degrees cooler than the Atlantic City Marina on the bay , which is only about thirteen miles The porous soil permits any precipitation to rapidly infiltrate and leave surfaces quite dry . Drier conditions allow for a wider range between the daily maximum and minimum temperatures , and makes the area vulnerable to forest fires . Southwest Zone The Southwest Zone lies between sea level and approximately 100 feet above sea level . The close proximity to Delaware Bay adds a maritime influence to the climate of this region . The Southwest has the highest average daily temperatures in the state and without sandy soils , tends to have higher nighttime minimum temperatures than in the neighboring Pine Barrens . This region receives less precipitation than the Northern and Central regions of the state as there are no orographic features and , it is farther away from the Great Lakes - St . Lawrence storm track . It is also far enough inland to be away from the heavier rains from some coastal storms , thus it receives less precipitation than the Coastal Zone . Prevailing winds are from the southwest , except in winter when west to northwest winds dominate . High humidity and moderate temperatures prevail when winds flow from the south or east . The moderating effect of the water also allows for a longer growing season . Autumn frosts usually occur about four weeks later here than in the North and the last spring frosts are about four weeks earlier , giving this region the longest growing season in New Jersey . Coastal Zone In the Coastal Zone , continental and oceanic influences battle for dominance on daily to weekly bases . In autumn and early winter , when the ocean is warmer than the land surface , the Coastal Zone will experience warmer temperatures than interior regions of the state . In the spring months , ocean breezes keep temperatures along the coast cooler . Being adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean , with its high heat capacity ( compared to land ) , seasonal temperature fluctuations tend to be more gradual and less prone to extremes . Sea breezes play a major role in the coastal climate . When the land is warmed by the sun , heated air rises , allowing cooler air at the ocean surface to spread inland . Sea breezes often penetrate 5 - 10 miles inland , but under more favorable conditions , can affect locations 25 - 40 miles inland . They are most common in spring and summer . Coastal storms , often characterized as nor ' easters , are most frequent between October and April . These storms track over the coastal plain or up to several hundred miles offshore , bringing strong winds and heavy rains . Rarely does a winter go by without at least one significant coastal storm and some years see upwards of five to ten . Tropical storms and hurricanes are also a special concern along the coast . In some years , they contribute a significant amount to the precipitation totals of the region .

Thanks to L . Zuromski . Florida Climate Center The Florida State University Tallahassee , FL Average temperatures well below normal across the state in March . Average temperatures were well below normal for March across the entire state ( Table 1 and Appendix 1 ) . Departures from normal ranged from - 4.0 F to - 6.0 F across Florida , and there are reports of some locations that were - 8.0 F below normal . Overall , the average temperatures for March 2013 were colder than meteorological winter ( Dec 1st - Feb 28th ) and were significantly different than March 2012 , when some locations were more than 6.0 F above the normal . March 2013 was the 2nd coldest at both Jacksonville and Table 1 : March average temperatures and departures from normal ( ยฐ F ) for selected cities . Rainfall totals varied across the state in March . Rainfall totals across the state varied in March ( Table 2 ) , though most of the state reported totals that were below normal . Localized portions of the northeast Florida and Big Bend regions recorded above normal rainfall ( + 1 - 2 โ ) , while the peninsula and Panhandle were 2 to 5 inches below normal precipitation ( Figure 1 ) . March 2013 was the 5th driest on record at Pensacola , and only 35 precipitation records were broken in March โ 11 of those records were for totals under an inch ( Table 3 ) Table 2 : March precipitation totals and departures from normal ( inches ) for selected cities . Table 3 : Select daily rainfall records ( inches ) broken during March ( compiled from NOAA , NWS ) . Figure 1 : A graphical depiction of the monthly rainfall departure from normal ( inches ) for March is given in the figure below ( courtesy of NOAA , NWS ) . ENSO - neutral conditions continue in the Pacific . As of April 1st , neutral ENSO conditions continue to be reported for the equatorial Pacific . Equatorial sea surface temperatures ( SST ) are near average to below average across much of the Pacific Ocean . ENSO - neutral conditions are favored to continue through the summer 2013 . The atmospheric circulation during over the last couple of months has been somewhat variable due to an active Madden - Julian Oscillation ( MJO ) . The Climate Prediction Center ( CPC ) predicts above normal temperatures for the state , and they are also predicting below normal precipitation for Hazardous weather events in March . March was a somewhat active month for severe weather across the state , with 129 severe weather reports made during the entire month . The month started out with multiple reports of fires near Daytona Beach , Ocklawaha , and Juniper Springs . The Hopkins Prairie Wildfire grew to over 1900 acres and destroyed 10 homes in Marion County . Low astronomical tides were seen on the 6th at Mayport and Dungeness due to tidal levels that were reported below the mean low water level and were also 1.0 to 1.5 ft below the predicted tidal level . Dense fog From March 23rd to 25th , 103 of the 129 severe weather reports were recorded . A low pressure system in Louisiana set up an interesting weather event as a warm front lifted through the Panhandle on the 23rd and 24th , spawning one round of severe weather , and a second round of severe weather hit the state as the cold front pushed through on the 24th and 25th . On the morning of the 23rd , numerous hail reports came in from locations along the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend , including Panama City Beach , Wewahitcha , Table 4 : Breakdown of storm reports submitted in Florida during the month of March ( compiled from Southeast Regional Climate Center ) . Agricultural and other climate - related impacts . At the beginning of March , producers in northern Florida were busy assessing crops for damage following a second week of freezing temperatures and heavy rains . While much of the state received minimal to no moisture , portions of the Panhandle had accumulated more than 5 inches during the first week . Winter wheat benefited from the recent rains , and moderate to heavy bloom was observed across the state โ s citrus region . The second week in March brought more cold weather to the state , with more than half the state recording sub - freezing temperatures While the statewide rainfall totals varied greatly across the state during March , most of the state saw below normal rainfall during the month . Since the release of the drought monitor on February 26th , the Panhandle has remained drought free , while the Peninsula and north Florida have continued to be plagued by dryness . The areas of moderate drought have expanded to cover about 48 % of the state , including much of central Florida and portions of Broward , Collier , Dade , and Monroe counties . The area of severe drought in northern Florida has Figure 2 : Drought conditions in Florida as of March 26 , 2013 ( courtesy of U.S. Drought Monitor ) .

http://climatecenter.fsu.edu/topics/winters | Winters Images of snow and freeze events in Florida . Courtesy of Florida Memory Although many people head south to escape the cold in the winter , it is n ' t always warmer in Florida . When an intense low pressure system is followed by a strong high pressure system , particularly powerful invasions of cold air may occur in Florida . These cold air outbreaks can produce below - freezing temperatures and are usually accompanied by strong winds that can produce bitterly cold wind chills . Over the past 150 years , numerous severe cold outbreaks have affected Florida . In February 1899 , a cold wave that became known as the Great Arctic Outbreak pushed frigid Canadian arctic air into the state . During this event , the lowest temperature ever recorded in Florida ( - 2 ยฐ F ) occurred on February 13 , 1899 . Since this outbreak , a number of " impact freezes " have influenced the retreat of the famous Florida orange groves from areas around Jacksonville and St . Augustine to their current locations in south Florida .

The first documented account of snow in Florida was reported in 1774 . During the Great Arctic Outbreak , which was responsible for one of the biggest widespread snow events in the state , snow measured up to 3 inches deep in numerous Panhandle communities , and snow flurries were reported as far south as Fort Myers . Since 1886 , there have been more than 80 months in which at least a trace of snow has been reported somewhere in the state . EXAMPLES OF FLORIDA SNOW EVENTS SINCE 1950 Date Description February 2 , 1951 Two inches were reported in St . Augustine and Crescent City . March 6 , 1954 Four inches were reported at the Milton Experimental Station ; this total holds as the 24 - hour state snowfall record . February 13 , 1958 Rain changed to snow ; 1.5 inches were reported in Jacksonville , and 2.8 inches reported in Tallahassee . January 17 - 19 , 1977 Snow started falling in Pensacola on the 17th . On the 19th , flurries were reported as far south as Homestead . Areas along I - 4 ( Tampa / Orlando ) reported 1 to 2 inches of snow . December 23 , 1989 Rain changed to snow in Jacksonville , and totals of several inches were reported in some locations ; the city had its first White Christmas . March 12 , 1993 The ' 93 Superstorm produced up to 4 inches of snow along the Florida Panhandle . November 21 , 2006 A dusting of snow fell over portions of central Florida , the first November snow in the state since 1912 . January 8 - 9 , 2010 A light dusting of snow was seen in Jacksonville . Light snow fell in parts of central Florida with sleet / snow reported in Orlando , Tampa , and Melbourne . Flurries are reported in West Palm Beach and Kendall . December 26 , 2010 A mix of snow and sleet was reported in Jacksonville , with a freezing fog event around midnight . Tallahassee , Gainesville , and other locations in the northern peninsula reported flurries during the day . | [

http://climateinterpreter.org/content/how-are-humans-causing-ocean-acidification | Ocean Acidification How are humans causing ocean acidification ? Ocean acidification is occurring because too much carbon dioxide is being released into the atmosphere . Carbon dioxide is nothing new , and its presence in moderate quantities is not a concern . The rate at which we are pumping it into our atmosphere is a concern , however . There are two major sources for this influx of atmospheric CO2 : fossil fuel emissions and deforestation . Fossil fuel emissions are the gases that are spewed out of most cars , airplanes , power plants , and factories that are burning fossil fuels ( coal , oil or gas ) . Since the industrial revolution , fossil fuel consumption has risen exponentially to create many climate change - related issues , including ocean acidification . Deforestation is a two - fold issue . Burning down forests is similar to burning fossil fuels , it emits a lot of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere . Forests are important because large expanses of plantlife ( even in the ocean ) are known to be " carbon sinks " , taking in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis . Historically , carbon dioxide levels have been balanced ; the CO2 being produced was in turn being absorbed . Deforestation not only creates more CO2 , but it also destroys one of the very things that helps absorb it ! The silver lining here is that ocean acidification is just one more symptom of ailments that people are already aware of . Most people know that deforestation is bad for the environment . And most people know that they should try to drive less , and consume less energy . Ocean acidification brings the problem into the ocean , and to a world many people are not familiar with . " Acid Test " is a video narrated by Sigourney Weaver . It does a fairly good job of explaining how people are responsible for ocean acidification , as well as providing some urgent calls to action . " Ocean Acidification : Coral Reefs in the Balance " features human causes right at the beginning . Pages 3 - 10 of the pdf document focus on where all this excess CO2 is coming from , and shows the relative amounts that are coming from emissions and from deforestation . " Switch Energy Project : Oil " is a succinct film about why we rely on oil as the main source of transportation fuel . Lesson Take Away : The rapid rise in atmospheric CO2 is being caused by human activities . These activities include the burning of fossil fuels , deforestation and vehicle emissions . We are putting more CO2 into the atmosphere than can be absorbed by the earth ' s natural processes , which is leading to a CO2 imbalance .

http://climatenewsnetwork.net/growing-threat-to-amazons-crucial-carbon-sink/ | Nature Growing threat to Amazon โ s crucial carbon sink March 19th , 2015 , by Tim Radford There has been a huge surge in the rate of trees dying throughout the Amazon rainforest region . Image : Peter van der Sleen Massive new study shows that pressures on the Amazon rainforest mean it can no longer be relied on to soak up more CO 2 from the atmosphere than it puts out . LONDON , 19 March , 2015 โ The Amazon rainforest , for so long one of the vital โ green lungs โ of the planet , is losing its capacity to absorb carbon from the atmosphere , according to new research . Two decades ago , the forest drew down a peak of two billion tonnes of carbon dioxide each year from the atmosphere . Now , according to a massive new study in Nature journal by more than 90 scientists , the rate of withdrawal has fallen to around half that total . Fossil fuel emissions from Latin American countries are now running at more than a billion tonnes of CO 2 . So the region is putting more greenhouse gas into the atmosphere than it is taking out . The finding is ominous . The Amazon rainforest has always been a big item in the climate modellers โ carbon budget โ the calculation of carbon dioxide from fossil fuels burned , set against the natural absorption of the same trace gases by the biosphere . Unique research The implication now is that the forest is no longer a carbon โ sink โ that that can be relied upon to take up a predictable proportion of fossil fuel emissions . The conclusion is the outcome of a unique international research network โ s 30 - year study of 189,000 individual trees in 321 plots of forest dotted across six million square kilometres in eight South American countries . And it has revealed a huge surge in the rate of tree deaths across the Amazon basin . Locations of Amazon forest plots studied . Image : Georgia Pickavance / RAINFOR The Amazon is one of the wonders of the planet : its 300 billion trees , and 15,000 species , store one - fifth of all the carbon in the planet โ s biomass . The RAINFOR collaboration involves 57 organisations in 15 nations , and is dedicated to detailed study of the forest and the ecosystems that depend upon it . โ Tree mortality rates have increased by more than a third since the mid - 1980s , and this is affecting the Amazon โ s capacity to store carbon โ Researchers have repeatedly warned of the consequences of destroying rainforest through logging , land - clearance for plantation , and other assaults upon the gigantic rainforest , but this finding is of a different magnitude altogether . Roel Brienen , a geographer at the University of Leeds in England , and the lead author of the study , puts it bluntly : โ Tree mortality rates have increased by more than a third since the mid - 1980s , and this is affecting the Amazon โ s capacity to store carbon . โ Carbon dioxide is not , of itself , the problem . Plants capture it with photosynthesis to build tissues and feed the animal kingdom . And , in a greenhouse world , more carbon dioxide should make vegetation more fertile , and more likely to soak up at least a proportion of the extra Spurt of growth But the message from this latest study is that it does n โ t necessarily work out like that . The extra carbon dioxide stimulated a spurt of extra growth , and the trees lived faster , only to die sooner . The problem has been compounded by drought and unusually high temperatures in the Amazon . The spurt in arboreal death rates began well before 2005 , but droughts since then have killed millions of additional trees . โ Regardless of the causes behind the increase in tree mortality , this study shows that predictions of a continuing increase Climate News Network Agriculture Amazon Carbon Dioxide climate change Deforestation Drought emissions Forests fossil fuels Global threats Warming About Tim Radford Tim Radford , a founding editor of Climate News Network , worked for The Guardian for 32 years , for most of that time as science editor .

in a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit By Tom Moverman Posted on September 20 2017 8 min read 3443 As I state on LipsigQueenscom medical errors are more common than people think Doctor negligence falls under the category of medical negligence a broad term referring to an area of the law that considers whether a medical providers treatment of a patient fell below the standard of care followed by other members of the medical community Medical negligence is a necessary element for medical malpractice lawsuits in which a plaintiff must prove not only that the medical provider was negligent but that the negligent acts caused the plaintiffs injury The term medical provider is broad and includes the following Physicians Nurse practitioners NPs Physician assistants PAs Hospitals and healthcare facilities Medical errors are more common than people think Click To Tweet What Type of Actions Constitute Negligence Medical providers might be found negligent if it can be shown that they Used poor judgment in rendering care to a patient Lacked the skill necessary to provide adequate care Made a wrong diagnosis about a patients condition What Do Lawyers Mean by Negligence In general negligence is a claim that is commonly advanced in lawsuits in which someone is claiming personal injury Negligence is a broad area of tort law wrongdoings that cause others to unjustifiably suffer loss or harm It establishes certain standards of behavior for individuals as members of society An individual can be considered negligent by committing an act that causes harm or by failing to do something to prevent harm An individuals actions are judged against a hypothetical standard known as the reasonably prudent person standard For example a lawyer who must decide whether a nurse practitioner was negligent by failing to use a sterile needle when taking a patients blood would apply the standard by asking What would a reasonably prudent nurse practitioner have done in the same situation Proof of Legal Negligence For there to be a concluding judgment of negligence it is not enough to prove that someone did not act as a reasonably prudent person would have It must also be proved that the individuals action or inaction caused someone harm In all cases where negligence is claimed the burden of proof falls on the plaintiff the individual who filed the lawsuit For a plaintiff to prove that someone has committed legal negligence he or she must prove the following four elements of any negligence case Duty A legal obligation that arises out of a relationship between persons Generally a person has a duty to exercise such care as a reasonably prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances In medical malpractice lawsuits this duty is clear A provider has a legal duty to act in a way that does not harm a patient Breach The act or failure to act in a way that shows an individual did not meet the legal obligation to act as a reasonably prudent person For example if a doctor fails to make an accurate diagnosis of a patients illness the doctor has breached his or her legal duty to heal or to do no harm to the patient Cause The link between a persons act or failure to act and the resulting injury to the plaintiff Imagine that a nurse practitioner did not record on the chart a patients current medications If this led to a doctor prescribing a drug that was contraindicated with drugs the patient was already taking the nurse practitioners inaction caused any resulting harm to the patient Damage The physical andor monetary costs to the plaintiff that resulted from negligent acts by the medical provider An example of damage would be a physician assistants failure to diagnose the right medical condition which then caused the patient to become sicker to spend more money on additional therapy and to incur lost wages for missing work How Big of a Problem Is Doctor Negligence When doctors and other medical providers make mistakes while treating their patients the damage is significant and can sometimes even be deadly In May 2016 the British Medical Journal published data showing that errors made by healthcare providers account for the thirdleading cause of death in the United States That claim is supported by data collected by Diederich Healthcare one of the nations largest medical malpractice insurers The data shows that in 2016 more than 38 billion was paid out to plaintiffs for medical malpractice claims nationwide When those payouts were broken down by the severity of patient injury death at 31 percent was the most common reason for a medical malpractice claim That was followed by significant permanent injury at 18 percent and major permanent injury at 17 percent Have you ever had a medical malpractice lawsuit filed against you

http://clinlabnavigator.com/alcohol-ethanol-ethyl-alcohol.html | Alcohol ( Ethanol , Ethyl Alcohol ) Ethyl alcohol is a central nervous system depressant and an anesthetic . Alcohol ingestion may cause loss of judgment , incoordination , and disorientation . Higher doses may induce stupor possibly followed by coma and death . Blood Alcohol Concentration Clinical Signs & Symptoms 10 โ 50 mg / dL 0.01 โ 0.05 g / dL Mild euphoria , decreased inhibitions , diminished attention & judgement 50 โ 100 mg / dL 0.05 โ 0.10 g / dL Euphoria , sedation , impaired coordination , decreased sensory responses to stimuli , decreased judgement 150 โ 300 mg / dL 0.15 โ 0.30 g / dL Confusion , disorientation , impaired balance , slurred speech 250 โ 400 mg / dL 0.25 โ 0.40 g / dL Sleep or stupor , marked muscular incoordination , markedly decreased response to stimuli , incontinence 400 โ 500 mg / dL 0.40 โ 0.50 g / dL Coma , hypothermia , respiratory & circulatory failure , possible death Ethyl alcohol is absorbed rapidly in the proximal small intestine , usually within 30 to 90 minutes after ingestion . More than 90 % of ethanol is metabolized by hepatic microsomal mixed function oxidases to acetaldehyde and acetic acid . The primary enzyme , alcohol dehydrogenase , is concentrated in the liver , but smaller concentrations are found in the gastric mucosa . Women may have less gastric alcohol dehydrogenase activity than men , explaining their increased bioavailability and higher peak ethanol levels . Aspirin and histamine - 2 blockers may inhibit gastric alcohol dehydrogenase activity , causing slightly elevated Blood alcohol levels vary depending on the amount consumed , the time elapsed since consumption , metabolic rate , and body weight . Ethanol clearance is nonlinear at concentrations above 20 mg / dL and changes with alcohol concentration . Generally , ethanol metabolism occurs at a rate of 10 to 30mg / dL per hour . The average elimination rate is12 + / - 4 mg / dL per hour for nondrinkers , 15 + / - 4 mg / dL per hour for social drinkers , and 30 + / - 9 mg / dL per hour for A standard drink contains approximately 13 g of absolute alcohol and is often defined as one ounce of 100 proof hard liquor , 1.5 ounces of 80 proof liquor , one 12 - ounce beer , or 5 ounces of wine . The ethanol content of a beverage can be calculated using the following formula : D ( g ) = F x Volume ( mL ) x 0.8 g / mL where D = grams of ethanol in the drink F = fraction of ethanol ( % v / v ) Volume = volume of beverage in mL ( 1 ounce = 30 mL ) 0.8 g / mL = specific gravity of ethanol For example , the total amount of ethanol in 1.5 ounces of 80 proof whiskey would be calculated as follows : 0.40 % v / v x ( 1.5 oz x 30 mL / oz ) x 0.8 g / mL = 14 g . Household products have the following ethanol content : Mouthwash 10 - 27 % After shave 15 - 80 % Rubbing alcohol 70 - 90 % Paint stripper 25 % Perfume / cologne 25 - 95 % Dish wash detergent 1 - 10 % Denatured alcohol 90 - 99.9 % Glass cleaner 10 % Cough medicine / elixir 2 - 25 % Hair tonic 25 - 60 % Solid can fuel > 60 % Extracts 40 - 90 % The expected blood alcohol level obtained within one hour of consumption can be estimated from the following table . Number of drinks consumed by a 55 kg person Number of drinks consumed by a 90 kg person Approximate blood alcohol concentration ( mg / dL ) 1 - 3 2 - 5 50 โ 100 3 - 5 5 - 8 100 - 150 5 - 7 8 - 11 150 โ 200 7 - 9 11 - 14 200 โ 300 > / = 10 > / = 15 300 โ 400 Extreme > 400 Substantial impairment can occur at alcohol levels < 100 mg / dL . Deterioration of driving skills can occur at levels < 50 mg / dL and maneuvers to avoid a crash , such as steering and applying brakes can be compromised at concentrations of about 30 mg / dL . Legal intoxication limits are inconsistent throughout the United States . The majority of states have set legal limits at 100 mg / dL , while others have lowered the limit to 80 mg / dL . The Kansas and Missouri legal intoxication level is 100 mg / dL . A legal blood alcohol concentration is often expressed as the percentage of alcohol by weight ( i.e. grams of ethanol in 100 mL of blood ) . Clinical laboratories generally report ethanol concentration in mg per dL of blood . Lab values can be converted to blood alcohol concentration by moving the decimal point three places to the left . For example , 135 mg / dL becomes 0.135 % wt / vol . This value is then truncated to two digits , becoming 0.13 % wt / vol or 0.13 g / dL . The water content of serum and whole blood is 98 % and 86 % , respectively . Because ethanol preferentially partitions into the aqueous rather than the cellular phase of blood , higher levels are obtained with serum or plasma . Serum and plasma levels average 1.09 to 1.18 times higher than whole blood levels . The concentration of ethanol in arterial and capillary blood is about 25 % higher than venous blood after initial consumption of alcohol . Isopropyl alcohol may interfere with this method , giving falsely elevated values . Isopropyl alcohol has a stronger intoxicating effect than ethyl alcohol and should be suspected when a patient appears very intoxicated and his blood alcohol is low ( below 100 mg / dL ) . Methanol and acetone do not cause significant interference . This test is satisfactory for medical , but not legal use . Reference range is 0 - 9 mg / dL . Specimen requirement is one SST tube of blood . Venipuncture site should be cleansed with benzalkonium chloride or aqueous povidone - iodine and NOT alcohol . The use of an alcohol swab may falsely elevate the blood level . Serum should be immediately separated from the red blood cells and analyzed within 4 hours when collected without preservatives . Specimens should be kept sealed , because ethanol is volatile . Serum or plasma can be stored frozen . | [

Parts of this article ' s content have been identified as being out of date and require more recent information . Please remove this template when updates are finished . Echo Biological Information Species : Human Clone Gender : Male Biographic Information Homeworld : Kamino Occupation / Rank : ARC Trooper Affiliation : Galactic Republic 501st Domino Squad ( Formerly ) Clone Force 99 Comlink just relayed orders from โ " " We all heard the orders , Echo ! " " Stop calling me that ! " " Stop repeating every order ! โ Echo , Cutup , and Droidbait during their training mission on Kamino [ src ] Echo , designated CT - 1409 , was a clone trooper who fought during the Clone Wars . Originally identified as CT - 21 - 0408 , he belonged to the Cadet unit Domino Squad during his training days , and though he barely made it out in to the field , he became a high ranking member of the 501st Legion . He was given the nickname " Echo " because of his tendency to repeat orders , and always had a strong passion of reaching the rank of ARC Trooper , which he eventually did . He fought many times with his only remaining squadmate , Fives . They fought together side by side until they were both assigned on the deadly mission of infiltrating and rescuing Jedi Master Even Piell on Lola Sayu . The shuttle Echo was protecting was shot by a defensive turret , which destroyed the craft and consumed Echo in the blast , at which time was presumed dead . Unknown to the Republic , Echo survived the blast and was captured by the Techno Union . The Techno Union then used him to feed of Rex ' s algorithm to Admiral Trench ' s advantage during the Battle for Anaxes . Echo was than rescued by Captain Rex , Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and Clone Force 99 from Skako Minor . Contents show Appearance During his cadet days , Echo wore standard clone cadet training armor with the identification number three printed on it . During the attack on the Rishi Moon Outpost , Echo wore standard Clone Echo before being promoted to the rank of ARC Trooper Trooper armor which bore a blue handprint , created by Captain Rex , and red macrobinoculars . After the attack on Rishi base , Echo ' s armor gained additional blue markings , displaying his newly achieved rank as a clone trooper of the 501st . Once Echo was granted the rank of ARC Trooper , he wore experimental Phase II Clone Trooper Armor still retaining the handprint that he had kept throughout his career , although he made this himself , as he could n ' t transfer his handprint to the additional chest armor . Echo is the only known ARC Trooper to don his ammo pouches on the left side of his chest . Echo in his ARC Trooper armor Echo commonly used a DC - 15 Blaster Pistol blaster in battle , also donning several Thermal Detonators on his person during some missions . He also had Twin DC - 17 Blaster Pistols and a DC - 15 Blaster Rifle , but they were not commonly seen in his hands . Like all ARC Troopers , he had additional protective plating below his pauldron , on his forearms , face , and shins . Also standard for ARCs , he had a double pauldron , a rangefinder , a kama , a life - support pack on his back , and pouches on his chest , kama , and on the back of his belt , along When Echo was severely injured on Lola Sayu , He was transformed in to a Cyborg by the Separatists his left arm had cybernetics . Clone Cadets Guys , we have to follow orders , come on ! โ Echo after a failed attempt of the Citadel training mission . [ src ] Bric breaking up Hevy and Echo from fighting . Echo trained in Domino Squad on Kamino under the supervision of Shaak Ti , El - Les , Bric and Commander Colt . His squad had different opinions on how to fight . Echo thought that you should follow every order closely and play to your training and never risk yourself . Hevy thought that you should just run up to the enemy and shoot them because he was a specialist with a Z6 - Rotary Blaster Cannon . Droidbait thought that you should n ' t stay in cover and just shoot at the enemy , Cutup was just someone who thought that all you needed to do was sit in cover and shoot the enemy and Fives was pretty Rookies After becoming a battle - ready clone trooper , Echo , and former Domino Squad members , were assigned their first off - world mission . Echo was stationed at a listening post located on a moon of the planet Rishi , under the command of Sergeant O ' Niner . Along with fellow troopers Fives Hevy Droidbait Cutup Nub , and CT - 327 , Echo maintained the listening post to warn the Galactic Republic of any impending Confederate attacks on the nearby Kamino . At one point , when Echo joined the other stationed rookie troopers in the control room of the listening post , Sergeant O ' Niner entered the room and alerted the clone troopers of a routine inspection that would soon commence . Unbeknownst to the group of clone troopers , however , the Confederate General Grievous planned to attack Kamino . Echo liked to read reg manuals during his free time on Rishi Grievous knew that if he attacked Kamino , the Rishi moon listening post would detect the attack , and the stationed clone troopers in the listening post would turn off the base ' s " all - clear " signal , which would alert the nearby Republic fleet . Grievous therefore deployed commando droids in Droch - class boarding ships to take over the listening post . Meanwhile , a clone trooper raised the listening post ' s shield to protect the base against what appeared to be an approaching meteor shower , which was actually a group of boarding ships . The droids soon left their transports and began their attack on the Republic base . Once commando droids shot and killed O ' Niner and three other clones , the remaining clone troopers โ Echo , Hevy , Fives , and Cutup โ evacuated the command center by exiting through a ventilation shaft , which led them outside the listening post . Leaving the ventilation shaft , the four troopers were disheartened when a Rishi eel attacked and devoured Cutup , leaving only Echo , Hevy , and Fives to defend themselves . Eventually , the remaining rookie clone troopers sighted the attack shuttle flown by Commander Cody and Captain Rex . The clone officers had arrived for the inspection of the listening post and were unaware of the droid attack . After the two clone officers were attacked by the invading droids , they escaped and met with Echo and the other rookie troops . Having encountered a droid commando disguised in clone armor during their skirmish with the droids , Rex demanded that the rookies remove their helmets to verify that they were indeed clones . After the three rookie troopers obeyed and removed their protective headgear , another Rishi moon eel attacked them . This time , Rex used The group hid near the entrance of the base while Rex impersonated commando droid unit 26 by using the droid ' s decapitated head . The Clone Captain successfully tricked the droids to open the listening post ' s main door , allowing Echo and the clone troopers to ambush the remainder of the commando droids inside the base . Upon entering the command center , the clones defeated the droid units , including their leader . However , their victory was cut short when the clone troopers noticed that General Grievous ' s fleet had arrived above the moon When a confused Echo told the Clone Captain that the clones ' duty was to protect the base , Rex dismissed Echo after being awarded a medal him , stating that if the base was destroyed , it would turn off the all - clear signal and alert the nearby Republic fleet of the impending Separatist invasion . To destroy the base , Echo offered the use of highly explosive liquid tibanna , which was used as a fuel source at the station when the Rishi moon entered its freezing cycle . While Rex and Echo went to retrieve the plunk droids that stored the liquid tibanna , Cody , Hevy , and Fives grabbed weaponry from the listening post ' s supply room . With their Hevy offered to stay behind and correct the problem before joining the other clones as they fled the listening post through a nearby ventilation shaft . Once outside , Rex found โ to his surprise โ that Hevy had n ' t yet evacuated the listening post . He contacted Hevy via comlink , but Hevy refused to evacuate the listening post until he was able to repair the detonator . Unwilling to accept Hevy ' s decision , the clones ran to rescue the rookie trooper . Before they could reenter the facility , however , Hevy manually detonated Resolute , Jedi Generals Obi - Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker awarded Echo and Fives medals for their service . Following the presentation of the medals , Rex inducted the two clones into the 501st Legion for their part in helping the Republic to thwart the Separatist attack . ARC Troopers Fives , keep firing ! We can beat these guys ! โ Echo to Fives while taking out the attacking Aqua Droids Havoc ordering Echo and Fives to their sniper positions . Several months after the destruction of the Rishi Station , Republic intelligence concluded that the Confederacy was about to invade Kamino . With Kenobi , Skywalker , Rex , and Cody , Echo and Fives departed to Kamino to prepare the defense of the planet . While Kenobi and Skywalker met with Shaak Ti and Kamino Prime Minister Lama Su , Echo and Fives roamed through Tipoca City ' s military complex . After reminiscing about their time as clone cadets in the city , the two soon spotted their old clone trooper friend , 99 , who was carrying a bundle of DC - 15 blaster rifles . 99 was glad to see Echo and Fives , but questioned where was Hevy . When Echo and Fives told him he had given his life to save them on the Rishi moon , 99 sadly showed the two Hevy ' s medal , and told them ARC Trooper Havoc in a docking bay . Echo and Fives taking out Aqua droids from their sniping position on Kamino ARC Trooper Havoc gave both 501st Legion clones a dangerous assignment โ he wanted Echo and Fives to go outside on a platform bridge and " stay in a sniping position . " Echo and Fives complied and left for the bridge . Once there , the two clones situated themselves , prepared their DC - 15 carbine blasters , and waited for battle to begin . When the invasion began , Trident ships , led by the Confederate General Grievous and Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress , climbed the outside structures of Tipoca City . As the ships caused structural Both Echo and Fives departed the platform bridge with 99 and the clone cadets and headed for the indoor barracks . Once there , Clone Commander Cody and Captain Rex joined the group , and told them everyone in the room needed to fight off the droids . The clone cadets , however , disagreed , due to their training being inadequate . Echo tried to boost the clone cadets ' confidence by saying since Kamino was their home , they should defend it . 99 entered the conversation by telling the clones that he knew where the complex ' With the Rex , Cody , Fives , and Echo holding off the droids in the barracks decision made , 99 gathered the supplies , and each of the clones equipped themselves with a firearm . Echo and the clones stood behind a door , which led to a sleeping barrack room , and waited for any droid to walk by . Nearby , Grievous led a group of droids down the same hallway the clones where in . After the cyborg General ordered the droids to open the doors , a droid opened the clones ' door , which revealed them . Echo and the clones began to fire at the droids , and lured them Rex and Cody complimenting Fives and Echo on their valor on Kamino thermal detonators . Despite being told not to retrieve more by Rex , since it was too dangerous , 99 ignored the order and ran toward a nearby door . Yet , battle droids noticed the fleeing 99 , and fired at him , killing him instantly . Despite witnessing 99 ' s death , Echo and the remaining clones destroyed the remainder of Grievous ' droids . Echo and the clones gathered around Fives , who was cradling 99 ' s body on the floor , and mourned 99 ' s loss . After Grievous and Ventress escaped Kamino The Citadel Echo was assigned next with Fives to rescue Master Even Piell from the Citadel , a large prison guarded by numerous traps and alarms . Echo did n ' t really like the idea of being carbon frozen , but he , some other troopers , and the Jedi were frozen and were loaded onto a Separatist shuttle to the Citadel . On Lola Sayu , R2 - D2 unfroze everyone and the gang started walking . Artoo and his re - programmed battle droids stayed with the shuttle . Cody said the winds were too powerful for jet packs Charger but the latter slipped on a rock and fell , triggering an alarm . The gang sneaked in and before Piell lost his good eye , Echo and Fives burst in and destroyed the commando droidsguarding the cell and the operator droid . After rescuing Piell , Osi Sobeck caught them and they were confronted by commando droids and their weapons got stuck to the ceiling along with Anakin ' s hand . Anakin broke the magnetic holder and Echo got his blaster and shot some droids . Obi - Wan decided it would be better if the group split up , so Kenobi , Cody and his troopers , Piell , and some clone officers as Anakin took Ahsoka , Tarkin , Rex , some troopers and officers , Echo , and Fives . They would rendezvous with the ship . Counterattack This is our only chance ! We ' ve got to stop them ! โ Echo before the explosion that destroyed the shuttle Echo ' s damaged ARC Trooper helmet following the shuttle ' s destruction . When the group met at the landing zone , Echo and the survivors of the group engaged in a battle with Separatist forces for control over it . Echo spotted a Citadel Commando Droid operating one of the blaster turrets , aiming at the shuttle , the group ' s only means of escape . In an attempt to save the shuttle , Echo grabbed a nearby energy shield and tried to intercept the blaster turret . He was able to hold his ground on the shuttle for a moment , but the Commando Droid aimed for the shuttle instead Mortified , Fives looked as Echo ' s scorched ARC Trooper helmet landed on the ground before retreating . But unbeknownst to the team , Echo survived the blast and was taken into Separatist custody . A Distant Echo Echo hooked up to Wat Tambor technology . After using the algorithm traced from Anaxes , to Skako . The Bad Batch , Anakin Skywalker and Captain Rex manages to get in to Techno Union ' s headquarters . When Rex and Tech gets in they find him in a chamber severely injured , while he was hooked up to Wat Tambor ' s technology . Where he falls out still hooked out Echo manges to regain contusions where he memories of the Citadel . When Echo regains contusions he sees Rex and is confused to what happened having only remembered the Battle of Lola Sayu but not how he ended up here . Personality and Traits Personally , I like that it ' s so quiet out here . I can catch up on the reg manuals . โ Echo at the Rishi moon base As a cadet , Echo was a member of the disfunctional who always told the other members of the squad that they had to follow orders and always repeated orders from command , earning him his nickname . Echo however began to work well with his squad durring the re - take of their final test and helped them succeed . As a rookie , Echo was able to deal with the ennui of the Rishi Moon outpost better than some of the other rookies . When the attack on the station came , he tried to help shut off the all clear signal , knowing that Kamino was in danger of being invaded , showing his care for his home planet and his clone brothers ; examples being his sadness over Hevy and 99 ' s deaths and helping to protect Kamino since it was his homeplanet and so many of his clone brothers were there . Knowing how important the missions he was on were , he would do whatever he could to make the mission a victory for the Republic . This eventually led to him being taken out of action as he charged out into the line of fire of a turret to protect his team ' s escape ship on He still remained loyal to the Republic , despite his capture by the Separatists when he was presumed dead on and became a hero on Anaxes Facts Echo ' s designation changed several times over the course of The Clone Wars . It was originally listed as CT - 26 - 1409 in the reference book , Star Wars : The Clone Wars : Visual Guide Ultimate Battles . But the episode " Clone Cadets " showed the number CT - 21 - 0408 on Echo ' s armor , which was reflected on StarWars . com , The Clone Wars Character Encyclopedia , and in the more recent reference work , Ultimate Star Wars . When Echo returned in the Bad Batch , he was identified as CT - 1409 , partially retaining the original number .

Contents show History The Citadel During their way back to Coruscant in a Venator - class Star Destroyer , Even Piell and his captain , Tarkin were attacked by the CIS Navy , because they possessed information about the secret hyperspace Nexus route . While being attacked by Hyena Droid Bombers , B2 droids , and Droidekas , Piell , Captain Tarkin , and the rest of the fleet were captured , save for a few officers who were destroyed . The survivors were then taken to the Citadel prison facility on Lola Sayu Even Piell ' s rescue team during the mission When the news of Even Piell ' s capture came to the Jedi Council ' s attention , they sent High Jedi General Obi - Wan Kenobi General Anakin Skywalker Captain Rex Commander Cody , and some other Republic units . The Jedi and clone troopers used Carbonite Freezing to sneak past the Separatist ' s sensors that would scan every ship arriving on the planet for life forms . Because the CIS fielded a non - organic droid force , all unregistered organics would be instantly fired upon . After infiltrating the facility and freeing Piell and Tarkin , the group was attacked by commando droids but they ran before Osi Sobeck , the warden of the Citadel arrived . Then they all split up in two groups and started to look for their way to the ship . Counterattack On their way , the Republic ' s forces witnessed the death of several clone troopers including Echo , whose death also resulted in the destruction of their ship . Citadel Rescue Piell fled the Citadel with the rest of the group , getting chased down by Anooba . A small skirmish then began , leading in the destruction of all droids , and the death of all but one Anooba . With his back turned , Piell did not notice the last Anooba behind him , which bit into his neck and upper chest area , fatally wounding him . Ahsoka quickly dispatched the beast and held the dying Lannik , but was too late to save him . In his dying moments , he gave his half of the Nexus Route information to Ahsoka . Seconds later , Even gave in to his wounds and died , leaving him only to be buried in a lava flow ceremonially by Kenobi . A large team lead by Plo Koon Adi Gallia Saesee Tiin and Kit Fisto arrived at Lola Sayu to rescue the rest of the team . Plo Koon ' s gunship landed on the island that the team was on , leading Ahsoka to kill Osi Sobeck and allowing the team to escape . Later in the Clone Wars , Depa Billaba filled Even Piell ' s vacant seat when she rejoined the High Jedi Council , though alternating her term with Ongree counselor Coleman Kcaj when she was unable to parttake in important meetings . Trivia Even Piell originally survived the Clone Wars only to be killed early on during the Great Jedi Purge . When Piell died in Citadel Rescue , this became his canon fate .

http://cltvmortgage.com/ | CLTV Mortgage CLTV is short for combined loan to value ratio . This ratio implies a first and second mortgage over the property value . The CLTV is often used to determine if you are eligible to refinance your mortgage or to take out a home equity loan or a HELOC . To understand CLTV , we will walk through an example . Suppose you have a property that is appraised at $ 200,000 and you have a first mortgage where you owe $ 120,000 and a second mortgage balance of $ 10,000 . Your CLTV is calculated as : ( 1st Mortgage Balance + 2nd Mortgage Balance ) / Property Value = CLTV ( $ 120,000 + $ 10,000 ) / $ 200,000 = 65 % CLTV Mortgage companies have been quick to lend to borrowers with 100 % CLTV , which means 100 % financing . This has led to a huge blow - up among subprime mortgage companies such as New Century and HSBC . Copyright 2007 . CLTV Mortgage | [

Contents show In - game It can hold two infantry squads of the player ' s choosing , though the Rifleman squad that dug it up will automatically enter it upon completion . It is treated identically to the common Civilian structure in that garrisoned infantry are protected from enemy fire , but are instantly killed by attacks from anti - garrison units , such as Nod Black Hand troopers , Scrin Buzzers and opposing GDI Grenadiers .

http://cnduk.org/campaigns/global-abolition/effects-of-nuclear-weapons | Home Campaign posts The Effects of Nuclear Weapons April 3 , 2018 The Effects of Nuclear Weapons Nuclear weapons have been used twice , on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 . Evidence from these occasions , as well as atmospheric nuclear testing and nuclear power accidents have formed the basis of our knowledge of the effects of nuclear weapons . Modern nuclear weapons generally have much greater explosive power than those first two bombs , and would greatly increase the scale of the devastation . Join CND to campaign against nuclear weapons The city of Hiroshima devastated by a nuclear bomb The effects can be divided into four categories : instantaneous , near - immediate , short term and long term . Instantaneous The heart of a nuclear explosion reaches a temperature of several million degrees centigrade . Over a wide area the resulting heat flash literally vaporises all human tissue . At Hiroshima , within a radius of half a mile , the only remains of most of the people caught in the open were their shadows burnt into stone . Near - immediate People inside buildings or otherwise shielded will be indirectly killed by the blast and heat effects as buildings collapse and all inflammable materials burst into flames . The immediate death rate will be over 90 % . Various individual fires will combine to produce a fire storm as all the oxygen is consumed . As the heat rises , air is drawn in from the periphery at or near ground level . This results in lethal , hurricane force winds as well as perpetuating the fire as the fresh oxygen is burnt . Such fire storms have also been produced People in underground shelters who survive the initial heat flash will die as all the oxygen is sucked out of the atmosphere . Outside the area of total destruction there will be a gradually increasing percentage of immediate survivors . However most of these will suffer from fatal burns , will be blinded , bleeding from glass splinters and will have suffered massive internal injuries . Many will be trapped in collapsed and burning buildings . The death rate will be higher than in a normal disaster since most emergency services will be incapable of responding due to their equipment being destroyed and staff killed . The sheer scale of the casualties would overwhelm any country โ s medical resources . The International The effects of a nuclear weapon on a house : before and after the impact . Short Term Survivors will be affected within a matter of days by radioactive fall - out . The extent of the fall - out will vary according to whether the nuclear bomb detonates in the air ( as at Hiroshima ) or upon impact on the ground . While the former will entail more blast impact , the latter will throw up much larger quantities of radioactive debris into the atmosphere . The area covered by the fall - out is determined by wind speed and direction . The heavier particles of radioactive material will fall in the immediate or close vicinity . Finer particles will be blown over longer distances before they descend . Very fine particles may be blown even further before they combine with water vapour and fall as radioactive rain . In the aftermath of the Chernobyl nuclear power explosion and fire in the Ukraine in 1986 , radioactive rain fell over the next few days in a wide arc across Northern Europe , from Scandinavia to Scotland The effects of exposure to high levels of radioactive fall - out include hair loss , bleeding from the mouth and gums , internal bleeding and hemorrhagic diarrhoea , gangrenous ulcers , vomiting , fever , delirium and terminal coma . There is no effective treatment and death follows in a matter of days . At lower levels of exposure , while there is an increased chance of at least short term survival , the death rate remains high . Those who do survive face many complications . Pregnant women are likely to miscarry or give birth to babies with a range of disabilities . Healing from injuries is often slow , leaving distinctive scar tissue . Damage to the immune system is probable . Long Term Radiation - induced cancers will affect many , often over twenty years later . Certain cancers such as thyroid cancer in children are particularly associated with exposure to radiation . The children of those exposed to radiation are statistically more likely to be born with abnormalities and suffer from leukaemia . Because of the long period between exposure and the onset of cancer , it is difficult to attribute a particular cancer to a particular cause . The correlation is described as epidemiological , rather as the connection between smoking and lung cancer was statistically established before the medical links Accurate estimates of long term fatalities at Hiroshima and Nagasaki are not possible given the large scale destruction of records , population movements and a general censorship on nuclear effects by the US occupation regime . However the generally used estimates of casualties are 140,000 in Hiroshima and 75,000 in Nagasaki . Nuclear weapons cause severe damage to the climate and environment on a scale incomparable to any other weapon . Research by the International Red Cross shows the effect of a โ limited โ nuclear war involving 100 Hiroshima - sized bombs ( i.e. less than half a per cent of the world โ s stockpile ) . The five million tonnes of soot produced by the ensuing fires would cause global temperature to fall by an average of 1.3C . The disrupted global climate would have an overwhelming impact on food production . The Red Cross estimates that a billion people around the world could face starvation as a result of nuclear war .

http://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2014/07/16/the-war-comes-home-a-soledad-obrien-report-premieres-aug-12-at-900pm-on-cnnu-s/ | CNN Special Programming & Documentaries July 16th , 2014 THE WAR COMES HOME โ A Soledad O โ Brien Report Premieres Aug . 12 at 9 : 00pm on CNN / U.S . Moving new CNN Special Presentation Explores Hope for Vets Struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Delon Beckett and Garrett Combs came home from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan ready to resume the lives of promise they had left behind . For both veterans , within months of coming home , their relationships were crumbling , their children were frightened of their rages , and suicide became a choice they both thought could be a solution for their anguish . Then , a new program that treats post traumatic stress gave them hope . Produced by Soledad O โ Brien โ s Starfish Media Group in association with MediaStorm , THE WAR COMES HOME , follows the journeys of these two young men who came home from war , and their personal battles to recover from the effects of the wars that came home with them . The one hour special , THE WAR COMES HOME , debuts Tuesday , Aug . 12 at 9 : 00pm and will encore at 12 : 00am , and on Sunday , Aug . 17 at 7 : 00pm . All times Eastern on CNN / U.S . โ These two strong young men went to war to serve their country , but were overcome by the ravages of war . They have young families that count on them , yet openly told us they wanted to harm themselves . Through the riveting stories of these men โ and their families โ our hope is that people will understand how truly awful post traumatic stress is , how destructive it is for families , how it robs potential from lives , and how we have it within our power as a society to help these veterans , โ These two men are not alone . One in five veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan suffers from post traumatic stress , traumatic brain injury , or severe depression , according to a Rand Corporation study . Post traumatic stress is a significant predictor for suicide among all vets . Almost 8,000 veterans of all U.S. wars commit suicide each year , and 22 veterans take their own lives each day , according to the Department of Veterans Affairs . Beckett and Combs are invited to join the tenth group of veterans at an innovative therapy program based in Malibu , CA , called Save a Warrior ( www . saveawarrior . org ) . Founded and led by veteran Jake Clark for veterans suffering with post traumatic stress , the intensive five - day program includes equine therapy , training in transcendental meditation , and physically and emotionally demanding trust exercises . Along with the other members of their cohort , Beckett and Combs begin to be powerfully transformed as they write down and discuss the experiences that have haunted them . They also begin to rely on each other during grueling sessions that test their physical and emotional limits . Combs seeks out a therapist during the program and confesses , for the very first time to anyone , that he has been hiding serious suicidal thoughts . Beckett begins to understand how the poverty , neglect , divorce , and alcoholism in his childhood background has exacerbated his post traumatic stress and contributed to his own alcohol dependency and marital difficulties . Two months following their Save a Warrior course , both men appear remarkably changed as they describe the progress they have made . Though only more time will reveal the program โ s success for these two warriors , Combs speaks optimistically about pursuing his career dreams and becoming a better father ; Beckett talks about reconnecting with his children and pours the alcohol down the drain that he had grown dependent upon to medicate his pain . โ I do think Save a Warrior did help me get on the track , to โฆ gaining back some genuine compassion , and the genuine drive to โฆ really explore my curiosity with the world . . .I have some faith that โฆ I โ ll be able to utilize techniques that I learned as a way of , hopefully , being able to heal some damage that was done . But โฆ time will tell , โ says Combs in the film . THE WAR COMES HOME will be available , in simulcast , through CNNx for iPad , as well as via www . cnn . com by selecting โ Watch CNN , โ and also via CNN โ s mobile applications .

http://cnsnews.com/news/article/average-family-summer-travel-cost-4580-obamas-flight-orlando-mass-359500 | Average Family Summer Travel Cost , $ 4,580 โ Obamas โ Flight From Orlando to Mass . , $ 359,500 By Penny Starr | August 16 , 2013 | 4 : 11 PM EDT President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama . ( AP ) ( CNSNews . com ) โ The average American family of four will spend $ 4,580 on vacation travel this summer while the Obamas will spend about $ 359,000 in air travel alone to get to Cape Cod , enroute to Martha ' s Vineyard for their vacation - - and that ' s just the one - way flight . According to American Express ' 2013 survey on summer vacation travel , the average expense per person in the United States is $ 1,145 , or $ 4,580 for a family of four . For contrast , the cost of flying President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama from Orlando , Fla . to Massachusetts on Aug . 10 was $ 359,000 . That cost estimate is based upon a Congressional Research Service ( CRS ) report that puts the price of operating Air Force One at $ 179,750 an hour . The $ 359,000 is only for the flight from Orlando to the Coast Guard Air Station on Cape Cod - - it does not include the cost of flying the Obamas aboard the helicopter Marine One from Cape Cod to the island Martha โ s Vineyard . According the Martha โ s Vineyard Times , based on press pool reports , the president and first lady boarded Air Force One on Saturday , Aug . 10 in Orlando at 1 : 20 p.m. and arrived at Coast Guard Air Station Cape Code in Massachusetts at 3 : 24 p.m. The couple was then transported by helicopter and motorcade to the $ 7.6 million home they rented for their 8 - day stay . Air Force One . ( AP ) The pool report noted that daughters Malia , 15 , and Sasha , 12 , did not travel with their parents to Massachusetts . No other details were provided . The CRS report summary states that โ for security and other reasons , the President , Vice President , and First Lady use military aircraft when they travel . โ โ The White House generally categorizes the trips as fulfilling either official or political functions , โ the report states . โ Often , a trip involves both official and political , or unofficial , activities . โ โ When a trip is for an official function , the government pays all costs , including per diem ( food and lodging ) , car rentals , and other incidental expenses , โ the report states . โ When a trip is for political or unofficial purposes , those involved must pay for their own food and lodging and other related expenses , and they must also reimburse the government with the equivalent of the airfare that they would have paid had they used a commercial airline . โ Marine One helicopter . ( AP ) โ When a trip involves both official and political activities , a formula determines the amount to be reimbursed for that part of the trip involving political activities , โ the report states . โ Whether a trip is for official or political purposes , the Air Force pays all operational and other costs incurred by the use of the aircraft . โ โ While the travel policies of specific administrations concerning the reimbursement of expenses for unofficial travel generally are not publicly available , it appears that policy guidelines developed by the Reagan White House have served as a basis for the travel policies of subsequent Administrations , โ the report states .
