She is obsessed with social media and she likes followers , popularity , and having fast Wi - Fi .

http://hepatitis.emedtv.com/hepatitis-b/hepatitis-b-incubation-period.html | Hepatitis B Incubation Period An Overview of the Hepatitis B Incubation Period When a person becomes infected with the hepatitis B virus ( HBV ) , the virus begins to multiply within the liver cells . As more and more of the hepatitis B virus is made in the liver cells , they can become damaged and may even die . After 4 to 12 weeks ( on average ) , hepatitis B symptoms can begin . This period between hepatitis B transmission and the start of hepatitis B symptoms is called the " hepatitis B incubation period . " The hepatitis B incubation period can be as short as 30 days or as long as 180 days . This incubation period is dependent of the number of virus particles a person is exposed to . Infection with very few particles results in a longer incubation period . Is a Person Contagious During the Hepatitis B Incubation Period ? A person is contagious during the hepatitis B incubation period . A person who is infected with hepatitis B begins to be contagious early in the incubation period . About one - half of people remain contagious for up to two months after hepatitis B symptoms begin . The remainder of people who do not develop chronic hepatitis B will remain contagious for up to 15 weeks after symptoms begin . If a person develops chronic hepatitis B , they will remain contagious indefinitely . eMedTV ' s free HealthSavvy service can help you stay up - to - date on this topic .

Dual language programs , which provide instruction in both English and a second language , are flourishing in elementary schools across the country as educators find benefits for both English - language learners ( ELLs ) and those fluent in English . At a time when other types of bilingual education are on the decline and the B - word โ bilingual โ has been scrubbed from the U.S. Department of Education lexicon , dual language programs are showing promise in their mission to promote biliteracy and positive cross - cultural attitudes in our increasingly multilingual world . In 2000 , there were about 260 dual language programs operating in U.S. schools , according to Richard Riley , who was serving as education secretary at the time . That year , he called on the nation to increase the number of dual language programs to 1,000 by 2005 , saying our nation would be stronger with more biliterate citizens who could read and write in more than one language . โ We need to invest in these kinds of programs , โ said Riley . โ In an international economy , knowledge , and knowledge of language , This is an excerpt from the Harvard Education Letter .

http://herbalistreport.com/menopause_herbal_solututions/indexh.html | Enjoy Life Unburdened By Hot - Flashes * A Free Guide To Menopause Relief Products of 2018 . Find out what remedies are out there , which work , and safe , natural research proven options available . * * Note : This report is developed from clinical studies , research , and customer reviews analyzed by the editors . There Are Natural Solutions For Menopause Which Natural Menopause Remedies Actually Work ? Thinking about hot flashes , when they โ re going to appear and whether people around you will notice , is n โ t something you want to worry about . And if you โ ve been looking around for a natural product to help ease or reduce your menopause symptoms you โ ve noticed how challenging it can be to find something that actually works . There are many products out there , a lot of different ingredients , and many companies claiming they will relieve all your menopause symptoms . Many of our female readers have been emailing us about this , and asking which , if any , natural products can relieve menopausal symptoms , without side effects , and actually get the job done . This is why we assigned three of our research staff to carryout a detailed analysis of ingredients , clinical studies , and products that have all the right indications to reduce your menopause symptoms , safely and naturally . * Read on bellow to find out the result of our research , which ingredients are backed by clinical studies , which products contain these ingredients and what users of these products have to say about their effectiveness in relieving hot flashes . * What Happens To You During Menopause ? Before we even get into solutions it is important you understand exactly what is happening to your body , this will help you see what a supplement needs to do in order to really help reduce your symptoms . You probably already know that during menopause there is a drop in estrogen , this drop happens because your ovaries produce less of it which affects numerous bodily functions leading to hot flashes , night sweats and many other menopausal symptoms . You can use this infographic to get a better understanding of the stages , and what โ s really Why You Have Menopause Symptoms Are you ready for a little bit of science ? Imagine there โ s a tiny little almond in your brain behind your eyes , right at the top of your neck . . . It โ s called the hypothalamus , it helps regulate your body temperature . Your hypothalamus also โ talks โ to your ovaries all the time , and has an ongoing conversation about estrogen and overall balancing of your hormones . But as we get older and enter menopause , the hypothalamus and ovaries start going deaf . As you naturally stop producing estrogen it is as if someone cut the phone line , these conversations become weaker , and essentially communication halts . Now your ovaries and hypothalamus are shouting at each other , these shouts come out as hot flashes , night sweats , fatigue , lowered energy and libido and more Hot Flashes Night Sweats Sleeplessness Menopause Weight Irritability Mood Swings Stress & Anxiety Low Sex Drive Fatigue & Low Energy Your Menopause Options : * Now that you have a more in - depth understand of what โ s happing within your body , you can see that in order to get your body back into balance you need to get estrogen levels back up throughout your body , and your menopause symptoms will be kept in check . * There are a few ways you can get your estrogen back up : 1 . Hormone Replacement Therapy . The default option in modern medicine , hormone therapy puts estrogen back in your body with the intent of rebalancing you and relieving your symptoms . Unfortunately , hormone therapy does have significant risks of increasing heart disease , as well as breast and uterine issues . * 6 2 . Herbal Remedies . Herbal Remedies Work With Your Hypothalamus to balance out estrogen and manage menopause . Specific herbs contain ISOFLAVONES also known as phytoestrogen , which mimic the actions of estrogen to communicate with your hypothalamus , and โ answer the calls . โ These natural herbal extracts communicate with your hypothalamus and the rest of your body , hypothalamus thinks your estrogen is balanced and stops yelling and playing with the rest of your hormones , which means less severe menopausal symptoms for you . * Research shows that if your body is full of the right natural plant estrogen - lookalikes , it will think that your estrogen level is correct , and not bother you with painful and humiliating symptoms . Menopause managed . . . However it has to be the right kind of herbs in the right amounts , this is where many companies falter . * Why Not All Supplements Work There is a wide disparity between natural menopause supplements , and many do not work . Here is why : 1 . Use Powder Vs . Extract : The product is using herbs that are powders and not extracts , this makes them cheaper and although the product sound good it is not effective . Using powders is like making coffee with a couple of beans , which is simply not enough to get the desired result , verses an extract where you use a handful for the same cup . Some companies do this because the powders are simply cheaper , and they make more . * 7 2 . Research Not Followed : The product is using the right ingredients but wrong amounts , the company may even be using extracts , just a lot less than the clinical studies have shown in order to reduce menopausal symptoms . Essentially you are getting an extract like two coffee beans but no water , while what clinical studies suggest is a handful of beans . ( This is the most common reason menopause supplements do not work ) 3 . No Active Ingredients : Although rare , this happened on a mass scale earlier this year , in Jan 2018 some of the US largest brands were caught selling products that did not contain the ingredients listed , but instead cheap fillers such as rice powder . Once again companies do this to make more money . * 7 How To Find The Right Supplement For You : By following these guidelines you can avoid being scammed , find products that contain the right kind of ingredients , in the right amounts backed by research studies and that get you results : * 1 . Contains the following research backed herbal extracts that contain natural phytoestrogen ( estrogen mimickers ) * : Isoflavones ( this name indicates it is already an extract form ) Black cohosh Dong Quai Vitex Berry Red Clover - Or other research proven phytoestrogens ( based on our research there are n โ t many more than above ) 2 . Product is third party tested for quality 3 . Made in the USA Following FDA & GMP guidelines 4 . Company offers guarantee of 60 days+ 5 . Excelent customers reviews Our Top Recommendation As part of this guide we at Herbalist Report did our own research . We reviewed ingredient lists , published research , clinical studies , user testimonials , and compared top menopause products side by side in order to determine which ones had the right ingredients backed by science , in the right quantities and combinations in order to identify for you the top product to help you reduce menopause based on our standards : * Top Research Backed Natural Menopause Formulas : * 4.9 / 5 Overall Rating : Excellent Company Reputation : Reviews : Study Backed Formula : Safety : Guarantee : 90 Day MoneyBack # 1 Top Formula : Estrovive Estrovive Report Overview : Estrovive was selected as our editors choice because it contains all the top researched ingredients including : Black Cohosh , Isoflavones , Dong Quai , Vitex Berry , and Red Clover .

http://heresthethingblog.com/2013/02/05/iphone-tip-husbands-apps-showing-iphone/ | iPhone tip : Why are my husband โ s apps showing up on my iPhone ? by ben patterson | Feb 5 , 2013 | how - tos phones the cloud Beth writes : Hi Ben ! Here โ s my question . My husband , son and I are all using my iTunes account . It was originally set to my iPhone , but now whenever either one of them gets an app ( free or otherwise ) on either the iPad or iPod , I end up with a copy of that app on my phone . Do you happen to know the iPhone setting I need to change to stop this from happening ? And if I do turn it off , will I be able to get at those apps โ especially the ones that were purchased โ in the future ? Hi Beth ! So , here โ s what โ s happening โฆ There โ s a setting on your iPhone called โ Automatic Downloads , โ and when it โ s enabled , your iPhone will automatically download and install every new application , song , and iBook purchased or downloaded using your Apple ID โ that is , the username and password you use to sign in to the iTunes & App stores . ( In case you โ re wondering , yes : it is possible to use different Apple IDs to log into the iTunes store and iCloud , which means you can share an iTunes account with your family while still maintaining your own iCloud account . ) Do mysterious new apps keep appearing on your iPhone ? Try switching Automatic Downloads off . Once you turn Automatic Downloads off , you โ ll no longer find mysterious new apps , music tracks , and e - books purchased by your husband and son installing themselves on your iPhone . That said , you โ ll still be able to download ( or re - download , as the case may be ) any iTunes / App Store items purchased with your Apple ID , whenever you want . Here โ s what you do โฆ Tap Settings , then scroll down and tap iTunes & App Stores . See the โ Automatic Downloads โ heading ? Underneath , you โ ll find settings for three types of media : Music , Apps , and Books . Go ahead and flip one or more of the three switches to โ Off . โ Now , want to download or re - download a previously purchased app ? Just open the App Store app , tap the Updates tab at the bottom of the screen , then tap Purchased . To re - download music from iTunes , open the iTunes app , tap the More tab at the bottom of the screen , then tap Purchased . Last but not least , you can re - download purchased iBooks by launching the iBooks app , tapping the Store button , and tapping the Purchased tab at the bottom of the screen .

http://herkimer.nygenweb.net/fairfield/middleville.html | Profile of the Village of Middleville Herkimer County , NY Including the 1888 - 89 Village Directory by Jane Dieffenbacher Village of Middleville Historian Middleville , NY Middleville is a village of approximately 600 people . The West Canada Creek passes through the village . The east bank is in the Town of Fairfield and the west bank is in the Town of Newport . When the New Englanders first settled in the Royal Grant area , they chose the highlands , and the hill communities developed first . It was supposed that the lowlands around the West Canada were marshy and subject to flooding . In 1806 , people began to settle in the valley area because of the demand for water power . Sheffield Kenyon purchased the land that was to become Middleville this year and soon two public houses and two blacksmith shops were built . Mills followed and by 1810 , Middleville was ready for its first bridge across the West Canada . This was a wooden bridge built by Jacob Wilsey , who also built the first building of the Fairfield Academy . The community was named Middleville and by 1814 , industry was booming . The Herkimer Manufacturing Company erected a large stone building for manufacturing wool , cotton , flax , and iron products . A tannery was started by John Wood . These industries brought many people seeking work to Middleville and a number of Polish families settled in the area . In 1880 , railroad service reached Middleville and in 1888 , an iron bridge replaced the fourth wooden bridge across the creek . A water system was needed for the thriving community and in 1890 the Village of Middleville was incorporated to provide a solution . Soon a reservoir and water mains were constructed . Middleville has an active volunteer fire department , a library , and three churches in 1998 . The churches are Methodist , Roman Catholic , and Episcopal . Children attend the West Canada Valley Central School in Newport . The village has three parks , a bank , a few restaurants , and a couple of stores . Only one industry remains in the village and most people work in Mohawk Valley communities . A quiet but friendly place to live , Middleville is within easy reach of the Adirondacks and the city of Utica .

stabbed through him This was changed in the Light Novel Anime and Manga so that it was Kirito who killed him after Kuradeel attacks Asuna for her hesitation The Anime depicts Asuna and Kirito having met at the Meeting in Tolbana rather than in the dungeons where Kirito informs Asuna about the meeting Given this the battle was on the very next day after the meeting instead of 2 days after This

He is a former paraplegic soldier who lost his legs ( Just like Joe Swanson and Charles Xavier ) and becomes to be part the Avatar Program after his twin brother , Tommy Sully was killed . He was assigned to Pandora to be part of the Avatar Program to test out his new Avatar form on Pandora . He is played by Sam Worthington , who also portrayed Alex Mason in Call of Duty : Black Ops and Call of Duty : Black Ops II , Marcus Wright in Terminator : Salvation , Greek hero Perseus in Clash of the Titans Wrath of the Titans Contents show Biography On Earth Jake Sully was born and raised on Earth and grew up hearing about Pandora , a small moon orbiting the gas giant Polyphemus in the Alpha Centauri System . Though nothing is known of his childhood , he joined the Marines as an adult for the hardship involved and a cause to fight for . He suffered a spinal injury in an unnamed war while fighting in Venezuela . The injury was severe , leaving him paralyzed from the waist down . Since his veteran benefits are not enough to pay for the surgery to repair his spine , he has no choice but to live out his life in a wheelchair . After a night of drinking , Jake starts a bar fight with a man who strikes a woman . After breaking up the fight , the bouncers throw him out into the street where he is approached by two RDA agents . They confirm his identity and inform him that his identical twin brother , Tom , had been killed in a mugging . [ 2 ] His brother Arrival on Pandora After five years , nine months and 22 days of travel , Jake awakens from cryosleep aboard the ISV Venture Star as it orbits above Pandora . Jake , along with the other new arrivals , disembarks from a Valkyrie shuttle at Hell ' s Gate , where he has his first contact with Pandora ' s hostile climate . Upon landing , Jake and the other passengers are briefed on the use of exopacks : personal rebreather units that filter the toxic Pandoran atmosphere . Exopacks are required for survival outside of internally pressurized RDA facilities . When he enters the RDA facility , Jake meets Colonel Miles Quaritch , a seasoned ex - military officer who is in charge of Pandora ' s entire paramilitary defense force . In a security briefing for the new comers , he explains to them all the dangers of Pandora , stressing that the biggest threat is an indigenous population of humanoids called the Na ' vi . He makes it clear that he is not willing to tolerate any resistance from the Na ' vi and has very little patience for the scientists working on the avatar project . The Avatar Program Jake meets Norm Spellman , a biologist who arrived on the same rotation as he did and was also a friend of his brother . Jake is later introduced to Dr . Grace Augustine , a botanist as well as the leader of the Avatar Program . The avatars are genetically engineered human / Na โ vi hybrids which are controlled remotely by avatar " drivers " . Using the avatars , Grace and her team have made considerable progress in teaching some Na ' vi the English language as well as learning the Na ' vi language and culture Returning to the link room with Norm , Jake is prepped by Grace to link with his avatar for the first time . When Jake first enters his avatar , he begins to move about , trying to get a feel for his avatar . Realizing that he finally has the use of his legs for the first time in years , he immediately gets up and starts trying to walk , much to the dismay and annoyance of the lab team . He is told to sit back down or he will be sedated , but he refuses and First Contact With Pandora Grace brings Norm and Jake ( as security ) on an expedition to retrieve samples of Pandoran flora . Trudy Chacon is their assigned pilot for the expedition along with Lyle Wainfleet serving as additional non - avatar security . Jake , Grace and Norm visit Grace ' s closed school . Upon seeing bullet holes in a wall , Jake asks Grace what happened , but she changes the subject and the three continue on with the expedition . While Grace and Norm study the wildlife , Jake wanders away and , while playing around with the nearby flora As Jake travels through the forest of Pandora alone , Neytiri , the princess of the Omaticaya clan , discovers his presence and prepares to kill him with her bow . However , just before she releases her arrow , a woodsprite , a pure spirit from the Tree of Souls , lands on the tip of her arrow . Taking this as a sign from Eywa , the godlike spirit of the forest and deity of the Na ' vi , she eases her bow back and lets Jake live . She continues to follow him until darkness falls . Jake creates a torch using a makeshift spear , his Becoming one of " The People " When Jake and Neytiri arrive at Hometree , the massive tree that the Omaticaya clan lives in , Jake meets with Eytukan and Mo ' at , the leaders of the clan and parents of Neytiri . Jake also meets with the finest warrior and leader of the Omaticaya clan ' s hunters , Tsu ' tey , who is betrothed to Neytiri and chosen to one day become the future clan leader . Jake presents himself as a warrior with the intention to learn from them . Tsu ' tey insists on killing Jake but Eytukan wishes to find Back at Hell ' s Gate , Jake reports to Selfridge and Quaritch on information about the natives . Quaritch seems impressed and claims that he wished that he " had ten more like you ( Jake ) " . Grace becomes aware of their interest in Jake ' s information and arranges for the avatar team to be transferred to a remote camp in the floating Hallelujah Mountains in order to continue their program without military involvement . Jake knows that Grace disapproves of Quaritch and Selfridge ' s interference and that is why she moved the team . Following a successful hunt in which Jake makes his first clean kill after stalking a hexapede and performing a ritual , Neytiri , greatly impressed , tells Jake that he is ready to choose his own banshee ( ikran ) . Led by Tsu ' tey , he and two other Na ' vi hunters undertake the ritual of Iknimaya and climb the path to the banshee ' s nest . There , Jake learns how to bond with ( tsaheylu ) and control his banshee , much to the annoyance of Tsu ' tey . Once Jake masters his At the end of the three months , Jake reports back to Quaritch as ordered . The Colonel informs Jake that his assignment is over and he is to be transferred immediately back to Earth to receive his promised surgery to restore the use of his legs . However , Jake is now more concerned with the welfare of the Omaticaya and especially the welfare of Neytiri , whom he has fallen in love with , than his desire to walk again . He is now reluctant and wary of his fellow humans trying to exploit the moon โ s The Destruction of The Hometree After spending the night with Jake , Neytiri is awakened by a huge bulldozer . She watches it destroy the Trees of Voices . Neytiri tries to wake Jake , but he is in his human body preparing to enter his avatar . Neytiri drags Jake ' s avatar body slowly while pleading with him to wake up . When Jake finally awakens , he tries to stop the bulldozer by standing in front of it . It stops momentarily but starts up again when Parker Selfridge orders the driver to keep going . When it starts again , Jake When they are brought back to Hell ' s Gate , Grace tells an unbelieving Parker that the trees and plant life make up a huge network like the synapses of a human brain , and that the Na ' vi can access all the information within this network , and so the trees must not be destroyed . After some extensive persuasion , Jake and Grace are allowed by Parker to return to their avatars for one hour to try and get the Na ' vi to evacuate . Jake and Grace beg the clan to leave because the While leaving the ruins of Hometree , Jake and Grace are forcefully returned to their real bodies and placed under arrest for treason along with Norm , who assaulted one of the marines who was trying to disable the link units . Trudy and Dr . Max Patel rescue the avatar team from prison . Before they get outside , Jake asks Dr . Patel to stay behind and be his man on the inside . Trudy hijacks her Samson and flies them to safety , but not before being fired upon by Quaritch . He fails in stopping the Jake returns to his avatar form at the ruins of Hometree . His banshee finds him amidst the ashes and Jake decides that the only way to regain the trust of the Na ' vi and save Grace is to " take it to a whole new level " . They fly at high altitude until they find the great leonopteryx , at which point Jake leaps from his ikran onto the back of the leonopteryx and bonds with it , becoming the sixth Toruk Makto . To the initial panic and astonishment of the Na ' vi , he The Final Battle Having earned back the tribe ' s trust , Jake asks for Tsu ' tey ' s permission to speak and that it would honor him if he could translate his words to the Na ' vi . Jake encourages them to fight back against the Sky People . He rallies the Omaticaya clan , and they ride with him as he flies out to gather all the tribes for a final attack , just as the previous Toruk Makto did . Jake later makes tsaheylu with the Tree of Souls and asks Eywa to look into Grace ' s memories and see how humans destroyed Earth , and to intervene to keep them from destroying Pandora as well . Neytiri overhears him and tells him that Eywa does not take sides , she only maintains the balance of life on Pandora . Surveying the Na ' vi with satellites , Quaritch learns that other clans have converged with the Omaticaya at the Tree of Souls and decides to destroy them and their holy ground to put an end to their defiance once and for all . A huge military fleet commandeered by Quaritch approaches the Tree of Souls , using the Valkyrie shuttle as a makeshift bomber and mining explosives as " daisy cutter " munitions to destroy the tree . Thousands of Na ' vi warriors led by Jake and Tsu ' tey take to the skies and attack the fleet Quaritch , flying in his Dragon Gunship , notices Jake ' s toruk and gives chase . Before Quaritch manages to shoot down Jake , however , Trudy dives in with her Samson and strafes the Dragon . An enraged Quaritch turns his attention to her , which allows Jake to escape . Trudy valiantly fights back , but her Samson is no match for Quaritch ' s gunship , and she is shot down and killed . Tsu ' tey boards the Valkyrie in the hope of preventing it from dropping its payload , but after killing or incapacitating The Valkyrie , approaching the Tree of Souls , prepares to drop its payload , but in the ensuing confusion created by the wild ikran attack , Jake leaps onto the Valkyrie , throwing a grenade into one of its engines before it can drop its payload of mining explosives . The grenade detonates , causing the Valkyrie to collide with a nearby rock , shearing of the left wing and sending the it into a steep dive . The pilots are unable to compensate for the lost of thrust and the ship crashes into the ground and explodes . Stumbling upon the camp containing the avatar link units by chance , Quaritch attempts to destroy Jake ' s human body , but before he can do so , Neytiri and her thanator attack him , successfully destroying the GAU - 90 cannon for Quaritch ' s AMP suit . However , Quaritch overpowers and kills the thanator with his AMP suit knife . As he prepares to kill Neytiri , pinned under the thanator ' s body , Jake arrives to challenge him . The two fight fiercely in close quarters . Jake uses the rifle bayonet for the New Life As A Na ' vi Having put an end to the RDA ' s occupation of Pandora , Jake makes his last log entry on August 24 , 2154 , explaining that the humans were sent back to Earth by the Na ' vi , except for a few ( the scientists of the avatar program ) , and that he has decided to stay in his avatar form permanently . Returning to the Tree of Souls , he undergoes the consciousness transfer from his human body to his avatar body , and awakens to a new life as a Na ' vi , marking Personality and traits Jake has a good heart , although his Marine attitude sometimes gets in the way of that . At first , he seems callous and sarcastically indifferent , but as he becomes familiar with someone , he begins to trust and respect them . He is courageous , determined , passionate , and possesses exceptional strength of character . In his own words , " I can pass any test a man can pass " . He later also proves that he can pass any test a Na ' vi can pass , being one of the few to bond Jake initially has very little knowledge on Pandora or its inhabitants . However , he is a fast learner and quickly adapts to the Na ' vi way of life , becoming a member of the Omaticaya clan in only three months . Though he notes that with Neytiri , it is " learn fast or die " , he relishes the challenges she provides him with and refuses to give up on them no matter how hard they are . Over time , Jake really begins to care about nature , the Na ' vi way of life and the Omaticaya people . When Eytukan is killed during the RDA ' s assault on Hometree , Jake is saddened and tries to comfort Neytiri despite having been rejected as a traitor . When Grace is shot by Quaritch during the avatar team ' s escape from Hell ' s Gate , Jake does everything he can to ensure that she does n ' t die . However , when Grace succumbs to her wound and dies , Jake feels pain The Omaticaya ' s trust for Jake is shattered when they learn about his initial mission . Jake regains their trust by risking his life to tame a toruk . He displays leadership skills and charisma when he unites the Na ' vi clans and leads them into battle against the RDA . However , when Tsu ' tey is gravely wounded in the final battle and wishes for Jake to take the title of Olo ' eyktan , Jake is hesitant to accept , feeling that he was not " officer material " , and is unwilling to kill Abilities Jake is a skilled and resourceful warrior who adapts to his environment , owing to his former occupation as a Recon Marine . He is agile and quickly becomes acute to the bow and arrow . His skills are best displayed during his fight with Colonel Quaritch , where he takes an AMP suit GAU - 90 bayonet and uses it against him . Jake appears to be a skilled hand - to - hand combatant : in his human body , he manages to physically beat a bullying bar patron despite his spinal cord injury , and in his Jake also quickly adapts to flying an ikran . While hunting sturmbeest from the back of his ikran , he succeeds in killing one of the creatures . He manages to escape from a toruk along with Neytiri on their respective ikran , guiding Neytiri to safety in the process . Later , Jake rides a toruk skillfully during the final battle with the RDA . Despite his flying skills , Jake is not very good at riding direhorses and keeps falling off of them .

His physical appearance combines features of both hamadryas baboons and the mandrill . He was voiced by the late Robert Guillaume in the films , and is currently voiced by Khary Payton in . In the 2019 live action remake of the first movie , he will be voiced by John Kani . Contents show Personality Rafriki is aloof , highly - strung , loyal , slightly insane , but wise and insightful . He has a very spiritual worldview and is very experienced at magic . He regularly holds ceremonies and is an old friend to simba ' s bloodline . He comes off as immature , childish and irritating at first , but can offer great moral support when necessary . Being a baboon , Rafiki is also no pushover , and if the situation warrants it , he can become a deadly and formidable opponent , easily beating up much larger enemies . History Rafiki is first seen arriving at Pride Rock for the presentation of King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi ' s newborn son Simba . Rafiki approaches Mufasa and shares a hug with him before going to Sarabi , who is cradling Simba in her arms . Rafiki then anoints Simba by cracking open a fruit and using it ' s juice to make a marking on the young prince ' s forehead . Rafiki then sprinkles dust over Simba before picking him up and going towards the edge of Pride Rock and raises the cub towards the sky for the animals of the Pride Lands to see . Rafiki is later seen one rainy night in his tree painting a picture of Simba . A few months later , Rafiki is saddened to hear that Mufasa and Simba had perished in a wildebeest stampede . Mufasa ' s younger brother Scar takes over as king and allows hyenas to live in the Pride Lands . Rafiki returns to his tree and weeps at the loss of his dear friend and the young prince before wiping out Simba ' s painting . Some years later , Rafiki is sitting on the top of his tree and catches petals floating around in the air and notices a strange scent coming from them . Rafiki then takes the petals inside the tree to study them more . Rafiki then realises that the scent belongs to Simba . Overjoyed to hear that the prince is alive , Rafiki restores the painting and paints on a mane , before declaring that it is time . Rafiki travels to the outskirts of the jungle and finds Simba and annoys him with riddles . However when Rafiki calls him Mufasa ' s boy , Simba follows him in surprise that he knew his father . Rafiki corrects Simba , saying that he " knows " his father . Simba replies that Mufasa died a long time ago , but Rafiki replies that Mufasa is alive and beckons Simba to follow him . They reach a lake where Rafiki tells Simba to look into it . However when Simba says that it is only his reflection there , Nala asks Simba ' s friends Timon and Pumbaa where Simba is , before Rafiki arrives and tells them that the king has returned , making Nala realise that Simba has gone back to defeat Scar and become king . Rafiki is later seen taking part in the battle of Pride Rock where he comes to Simba ' s aid when the lion is attacked by hyenas , giving Simba time to escape and confront Scar ( who had confessed to killing Mufasa ) . After Scar ' s defeat and death , Rafiki signals to Simba to go to the edge of Pride Rock to finally reclaim his title as king . Simba hugs Rafiki , who replies that it is time and watches the young lion roar in victory . Sometime later , Rafiki is last seen presenting the newborn cub of King Simba and Queen Nala to the animals of the Pride Lands . Rafiki is first seen at the start of the film presenting Simba and Nala ' s daughter Kiara to the animals of the Pride Lands and also to Mufasa ' s ghost . Timon and Pumbaa watch on and believe that Kiara is a boy , before being corrected by Rafiki . A few years later , Rafiki is seen in his tree talking to Mufasa whilst painting a picture of Kiara next to Kovu , a young Outsider lion being raised to avenge Scar ' s death by killing Simba . Rafiki expresses worry about Kovu being raised by his mother Zira to have hate in his heart . Mufasa via blowing a fruit down and cracking it , tells Rafiki that Kiara and Kovu are be brought together in order to bring peace between Simba ' s pride and the Outsiders . At first , Rafiki is against the idea , but is eventually coaxed into going with the plan by Mufasa . Sometime later , Rafiki is seen at Pride Rock watching Kiara prepare to go on her first hunt . After Kiara is rescued from a fire in the Pride Lands by Kovu , Simba and Nala arrive on the scene and are informed by Rafiki that Kovu saved Kiara . The following night , after Kiara and Kovu go stargazing , Rafiki arrives that takes them to a place called Upendi , where the two young lions begin to fall in love . The next day however , Simba and Kovu walk into an ambush set up by Zira and the Outsiders . Simba manages to escape , but banishes Kovu from the Pride Lands after believing that he was involved in the ambush , despite Kovu ' s pleas that he had nothing to do with it . Rafiki watches on as Kovu leaves the Pride Lands , saddened at Simba for not believing Kovu and for unknowingly ruining Mufasa ' s plan . However , after Kiara and Kovu stop a fight between their prides ( with the exception of Zira , who dies trying to kill Simba ) , Simba admits his wrongdoing and allows Kovu and the remaing Outsiders to return to the pride . Rafiki is last seen blessing the union of Kiara and Kovu at their wedding , happy that Mufasa ' s plan worked . Rafiki is first seen appearing in front of Timon ( who had recently left his meerkat colony ) and asking where he is going . Timon replies that he wants to live in a carefree place where he does n ' t have to hide or worry , to which Rafiki tells him about Hakuna Matata and says that to find it , he must look beyond what he sees . A few months later , Rafiki talks with Timon ' s mother Ma about Timon going by Hakuna Matata . Ma gets annoyed at Rafiki for using a metaphor on Timon , saying that he takes things literally . Concerned about her son , Ma enlists Uncle Max to go with her to find Timon . Rafiki tells Ma that the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step . Ma sarcastically thanks Rafiki , before jumping on Rafiki ' s foot . Rafiki is next seen a few years later coming to Timon in the jungle after Simba and Pumbaa leave to go to the Pride Lands to fight Scar . Timon guesses what Rafiki is going to say to him and decides to go after his friends . Rafiki is last seen arriving in the movie theatre that Timon and Pumbaa are watching the film in to watch it again with Simba , Ma , Uncle Max and several other Disney characters .

Later that day , Rafiki is at Pride Rock with Simba and Nala as they hear Kion roaring ( which he was doing to save Bunga from two hyenas named Cheezi and Chungu ) . Rafiki knows that the Roar Kion did was The Roar of the Elders and declares that it is time . Whilst Simba is reluctant about Kion ' s destiny , Nala is more accepting and tells Simba to listen to Rafiki .

http://hero.wikia.com/wiki/The_Tick | in : Important Comic Book Heroes Animals and 45 more The Tick Edit Share Hero Overview Gallery Spoon ! ~ The Tick Do - Gooder Full Name Nick Alias The Tick Nick I.P. Daley ( on his Superhero ID card ) , Mr . Nedd ( when he worked at the Weekly World Planet ) Origin The Tick Occupation Superhero Powers / Skills Superpowers : Nigh - invulnerable , super strength , reality denial , " Drama - Power " Gadgets Crime - finder , Hypnotic tie , blood - sucking straw Hobby No information Goals No information Family Boophilus annulatus , Araneae , Scorpionida ( based on the " Who ' s Who Tick bio - Early background info by Edlund evolved into " The Tick ' s Circus of The Mighty " and " The Tick ' s Circus Maximus " series ) Friends / Allies Enemies Type of Hero Titular Big Good โ is the titular protagonist of the comic book , cartoon , and live action series of the same name . He is a parody of super heroes created by Ben Edlund . Contents show Overview Nothing is known about the Tick ' s origins or who he was before he became a hero . Even the Tick himself does n ' t remember , though as far as he is concerned he has always been a superhero . In the comics , the Tick was apparently an escaping mental patient , but whatever past he left behind has not yet caught up with him since arriving in The City . Ever since coming to The City , the Tick has become a symbol of righteousness among the citizens and is considered the greatest hero among the City ' s burgeoning hero community . He lives with his sidekick Arthur in a small apartment , sleeping on the couch and not paying rent . He spends most of his time patrolling the City via the rooftops , causing considerable damage to the buildings he leaps on . Personality The Tick is brave , adventurous and very excitable . He considers himself a paragon of all things good and brazenly praises the good qualities of others when they display them . He also has a tendency to make long - winded monologues about good and evil and the lessons learned from his adventures , which often do n ' t make sense . Unfortunately , the Tick is also insane and pretty stupid . He does n ' t always pay attention to important details and usually ( nay , always ) leaps into action without thinking things through . Powers and abilities The Tick possesses incredible strength , capable of lifting impossibly heavy loads and pummeling even the strongest villains . He is also nigh - invulnerable and has survived many situations guaranteed to kill an average human being . It is quite possible that the Tick is completely invulnerable yet he always states that he is " nigh - invulnerable " . It could be that the Tick is merely being modest ( ? ) or , more likely , he does n ' t know what the word " nigh " means . Weaknesses The Tick ' s stupidity and childlike wanderlust are perhaps his greatest failings as he has been tricked many times by various evil - doers . He also has an irrational fear of ants and his antennae are also very sensitive and essential to him maintaining his balance .

http://herpes.emedtv.com/cold-sores/cold-sore-symptoms.html | Cold Sore Symptoms Before Cold Sore Symptoms : The Incubation Period When a person is infected with a herpes simplex virus ( the virus that causes cold sores ) , symptoms do not begin right away . This period between becoming infected and the beginning of symptoms is known as the incubation period . While this period can be anywhere from 1 to 26 days , the average herpes incubation period is six to eight days . Initial Signs and Symptoms For about 85 percent of people , the initial infection with a herpes simplex virus causes no cold sore symptoms . About 15 percent of people , however , develop many small , sometimes painful , fluid - filled reddish or purple blisters around the lips or corners of the mouth . Over several days , the blisters tend to merge and then collapse . A yellowish crust often forms over the sores , which usually heal without scarring within two weeks . Besides blisters , other symptoms of a cold sore may include : Fever Swollen neck glands Sore throat Soreness in the mouth or on the lips General body aches ( malaise ) . Recurrent Cold Sore Symptoms After the initial infection ( whether or not symptoms occur ) , the body is not able to completely get rid of the herpes simplex virus . Instead , the virus remains in a nerve located near the cheekbone . It may stay permanently inactive in this site ( in other words , not cause symptoms ) , or it may occasionally travel down the nerve to the skin surface , causing a recurrence of blisters . Recurrent cold sores usually erupt at the outside edge of the lip or the edge of the nostril , but can also occur One to three days before the cold sores return , many people feel pain , itching , tingling , or a burning sensation . This is known as a prodrome . The symptoms of recurrent cold sore attacks are usually less severe than the initial attack . While different for everyone , a cold sore typically lasts 4 to 10 days and occurs three or four times a year , on average . eMedTV ' s free HealthSavvy service can help you stay up - to - date on this topic .

Melatonin is usually produced by your pineal gland ! http : / / www . tnmanning . com / Test / Tests / human_endocrine_sys_files / i0070000 . jpg Functions The endocrine system consists of many different organs . Because of this , it is also responsible for performing many functions of the body such as regulating sleep cycles , growth , and blood sugar levels . But mainly , it uses hormones secreted into the bloodstream to communicate with the cells in the body . Endocrine and Exocrine Glands Endocrine and exocrine glands are different in that endocrine glands do not have ducts to carry their secretions to specific locations . Exocrine glands usually secrete their products ( not hormones or other chemical messengers ) into the external environment , while the endocrine glands secrete hormones into the body . Some examples of exocrine glands are sweat glands , salivary glands , Important Glands and Secretions Pituitary Gland - Connected to the hypothalamus , surrounded almost completely by bone . Consists of two regions , the anterior and posterior lobe . Anterior lobe secretes growth hormone , thyroid stimulating hormone , adrenocorticotropic hormone , and prolactin in females . The posterior lobe produces antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin in females . Pineal Gland - Extends from the third ventricle of the brain . It synthesis and secretes the hormone melatonin . Parathyroid Gland - secretes parathyroid hormone which regulates blood calcium levels . Thyroid Gland - produces thyroxine and triiodothyronine . These control the metabolism and controls of the growth of many other systems in the body . Adrenal glands - Responsible for producing stress - related hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline . Pancreas - Acts as a both endocrine and exocrine gland . Exocrine functions are producing digestive enzymes . Endocrine functions are producing hormones which controls the sugar metabolism such as glucogen , somatostatin , insulin , and pancreatic polypeptide . Ovaries / testes - Ovaries produces estrogen and progesterone while testes produce testosterone . | [

http://hexanika.com/why-is-regulatory-reporting-tough/ | Why is Regulatory Reporting Tough You are here Regulatory ReportingRegulatory Compliance Why is Regulatory Reporting Tough Regulatory reporting is the submission of raw or summary data needed by regulators to evaluate a banks operations and its overall health thereby determining the status of compliance with applicable regulatory provisions Governments across the world give prime importance to keep their banking systems updated This has proved to be an important task more so after the financial crisis of 200809 or what we have come to know as the Great Recession After the said financial crisis several governing bodies especially in the United States started evolving a regulatory environment of sorts Many new reforms were introduced most notably the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act 1 by the United States Congress and Basel I II and III namely by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision BCBS It proposed to make changes in the American financial regulatory environment that affected all federal financial regulatory agencies and almost every part of the nations financial services industry Nowadays banks and financial institutions are required to develop dynamic systems so as to keep themselves regulated according to these reforms This can be owed to the increased requirement of information reporting audits calculations etc A solution that automates and streamlines the process to generate reports in a timely fashion is the But this is easier said than done Regulatory requirements differ across the globe Some governments follow an approach where the whole banking spectrum is under their control thus limiting the entry of new players in the market On the other hand some governments do not directly control banks but put such restrictions in place which compel them to disclose accurate information at a timely interval in order to keep a check on them Whatever the case regulatory reporting is a vital cog in the banking business and is here to stay So what makes it all so important Basically regulators After the Great Recession regulators across the world have tightened their clout over financial markets and various new regulations have been introduced to ensure the following 2 Avoid large bailouts as they put immense political social and economic pressure on countries Increase consumer protection by spreading awareness in the upside and the downside of their investment decisions Improve transparency and accountability of financial instruments like derivatives options and embedded derivatives associated cash flows from the finance and risk perspective So why do financial institutions find it tough to meet regulatory reporting Nowadays banks need to collate data for various reports like Financial Reporting FINREP Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act FATCA Common Reporting Standards CRS and BASEL With so much of load on the current legacy banking systems they are working to their limit and can not handle all the extra information generated with ease Some of the key challenges faced by banks in such a scenario are Multiple sources of information Banks do not have a single source of information Depending on the depth of information required banks need to collate data from different sources to comprehensively meet reporting requirements At times this requires development of IT applications which have an impact on the time and cost aspects of the reporting exercise Multiple report formats Depending on the nature of business banking systems need to file reports in different formats as specified by the governing regulator Organizational systems and processes in most cases are not flexible enough to create new or modify existing data models to meet changing requirements Lack of skilled resources Changing reporting requirements mean that banks not only need finance experts but also require professionals skilled in mapping business requirements to existing IT systems developing new applications if and where needed and so on Inaccuracy of data Banks exchange information through financial statements risk reports submissions for capital adequacy and regulatory reports All these reports are generated from different systems and banks need effective reconciliation processes to crosscheck the accuracy of data across systems Stringency of timelines Regulators expect financial institutions to quickly alter their internal processes to meet the modified reporting requirements within scheduled time frames Though prior information on these implementation dates is shared with banks more often than not the time is not sufficient to action the required changes Eventually the question arises as how to cope up with evolving regulations In this regard it is very important to understand the role that technology plays in the ever changing regulatory setup to meet the reporting requirements Today in the market there are many tools and software present but the demand for newer technology increases with every new regulation introduced These regulatory reporting tools help banks avoid inherent problems like legacy

http://hexxit.wikia.com/wiki/Chocobo | in : Chococraft Mobs Incomplete Templates and 2 more Chocobo Edit Comments ( 122 ) Share Chocobo Health 30 ( x15 ) Damage Unknown Armor Unknown Aggression Passive Added By Chococraft The Yellow Chocobo The Chocobo is an ostrich - like mob that is capable of semi - flight added by Torojima ' s mod , of which it is the main focus . A Chocobo can be tamed , saddled , ridden , and named . Each color of Chocobo has its own special traits and abilities . Chocobos shed Chocobo Feathers constantly . This makes Chocodisguise Armor and other items using Chocobo feathers ( and some that use Vanilla Feathers ) easy to obtain when a Chocobo farm is created . You can find Yellow Chocobos relatively easily , but other Chocobos are either extremely rare , or unfindable . Contents show Riding Edit Chocobos can be controlled if the player places a Chocobo Saddle on the Chocobo . They can also be told to stay , follow , or wander via right - clicking with a Chocopedia . The Chocobo must have been tamed with Gysahl Green before riding , saddling , or instruction will be unsuccessful . Once a Chocobo is mounted , it may be dismounted by right - clicking . The Chocobo Saddle can be crafted using Leather , String , and a Chocobo Feather , which , as stated below , drop fairly often by Chocobos . One could also craft a saddle together with a Chocobo Feather . As reloading a chunk causes Chocobos to reset to wander , a player who would rather the Chocobo to not wander off but has n ' t built any form of containment can use a saddle Chocobos can also be equipped with Chocobo Saddle Bags , which can hold up to 36 items . Chocobo Saddle Bags are opened when Shift + Right - Clicked . Chocobo Pack Bags offer twice the storage of a Chocobo Saddle Bag , but can not be used with a saddle ; keep in mind that a Chocobo can be commanded to follow you with a Chocopedia Taming A Chocobo must first be tamed by being fed around 1 - 4 Gysahl Greens . A tamed Chocobo will have a red collar around its neck . Once tamed , Chocobo saddles can be used to ride Chocobos and a can be used to change a Chocobo ' s name and set it to " Follow , " " Stay " or " Wander . " This can also be accomplished by right - clicking the Chocobo with a Chocobo feather . Wander will not work if the Chocobo is wearing a saddle . Chococraft Tutorial - Taming Breeding Golden Gysahls and Loverly Gysahls can be fed to Chocobos to set them to breeding mode . To increase the chance of obtaining Lovely Gysahls and Golden Gysahls , it is highly recommended to use a Lilypad of Fertility , which notably increases the chances of getting rarer farm drops . Lilypads of Fertility can often be found in Battle Towers or can be crafted from common brewing ingredients and a Lilypad Male Chocobos can be distinguished from females by their mane of rainbow colored feathers . After a Chocobo has bred and produced a " Chicobo " , it will have a short " cooldown " time where it can not be bred , similar to Vanilla Minecraft animals . While a Chocobo is recharging , it will read " can not breed " next to its sex when right - clicked with a Chocopedia . When a Chocobo can be bred , it will read " can breed " instead . The different species of Chocobos are attainable through breeding . There is a 20 % chance when using Loverly Gysahls that a mutation will occur , resulting in a different color of Chocobo . This chance of mutation can be increased to 50 % with the use of Golden Gysahls Gysahl Cake can be used to instantly grow your Chicobo . Here are the possible Chocobo breeding mutations as stated in the Chocopedia : 1 . Yellow + Yellow = Green or Blue 2 . Green + Blue = White 3 . Yellow + White = Black 4 . Black + White = Gold To enable the offspring to mutate into a Golden Chocobo , the use of Golden Gysahls is mandatory . Although it is n ' t stated in the Chocopedia , a Red Chocobo can be obtained by feeding a Gold Chocobo a Red Gysahl . Additionally , a Pink Chocobo can be obtained by feeding a Pink Gysahl to a Gold Chocobo . Note that this does n ' t give the Chocobo any additional abilities - it is for aesthetic purposes only . The rather elusive Purple Chocobos are only found in the Nether . If one was to breed Purple Chocobos , he would receive an egg instead of a Purple Chicobo . Throwing the egg hatched the Purple Chicobo . One can successfully cross - breed Purple Chocobos with non - purple Chocobos to get eggs if Golden Gysahls are used . Chococraft - Guide A short guide to Chocobos Chocobo Abilities Yellow Chocobos are the average Chocobos and have no clear abilities . Green Chocobos have longer legs - they can walk across blocks with an elevation difference of one block . Blue Chocobos have the ability to float on water . This gives Water Breathing to the rider for the duration of the ride . White Chocobos have both longer legs and a floating ability . They also seem to be faster than the previous Chocobos . Black Chocobos have longer legs , the abilities to jump high and float on water , and are as fast as the White Chocobos . They also give you a Night Vision potion effect while riding them , which makes them a better choice than their White counterpart . Gold , Pink , and Red Chocobos all have the abilities of fly , climb and float on water , and are the fastest Chocobos . In addition to all this , they do n ' t take fall damage . Purple Chocobos have longer legs , avoid fall damage , run as quickly as White and Black Chocobos , are immune to fire , and can cross lava , They also give Fire Resistance to the player while the player is riding the Purple Chocobo . Although they can also fly , they can not fly as quickly as Gold , Pink , and Red Chocobos . Chocobos take fall damage when the space bar is held down Chocopedia The may be used to Rename the Chocobo , have it wander , stay , or follow the player , and more . To craft the Chocopedia , you will need 4 Chocobo feathers ( Both tamed and wild Chocobos will drop these every few minutes , and also upon death ) , 1 Gold Nugget , 2 inc Sacs , 1 Lapis Lazuli , and 1 Book . Notes Gysahl Cake can be used on a Chocobo to instantly grow it into it an adult Chocobo . However , it only works if the Chocobo has already been tamed using Gysahl Greens . The Chocobo may remain a baby for a few seconds after the Gysahl Cake is used before fully maturing . Feeding Gysahl Green to any color Chocobo but Purple will heal it by 10 hearts Some Chocobos can be found stuck in the corners of their pens and other non - solid blocks . This disables the Chocobo ' s ability to grow up . These non - solid blocks can include fences and cauldrons . If the player is experiencing this problem simply break the non - solid block and push the Chocobos out and they will instantly grow up . A Hookshoot or Longshoot can grapple a baby Chocobo out of a corner towards the player if the risk the Chocobo or any other Chocobos escaping is unwanted . Chocobos tend to run off into blocks and sometimes even into the ground . If the Chocobo gets stuck , breaking the surrounding blocks frees it . Chocobos tend to hide inside cauldrons . This can be easily solved by placing a block or a half slab over the cauldron . Trivia Chocobos can be found stuck in the corners of their pens if they are made of blocks such as glass pane or fence . Chocobos and Gysahl Greens are direct references from the Final Fantasy series , with Final Fantasy VII being the origin of the breeding aspect and colors . Wearing the Thief armor Cloud boots while on the Chocobo will transfer the speed effect onto the Chocobo . Yellow Chocobo spawn eggs can be obtained from dungeon chests . While riding a Chocobo the player is immune to Creeper damage . Right - clicking a Chocobo with string will cycle through the stay , follow , and wander commands in that order . Saddled Chocobos will only stay or follow ( follow will show hearts animation , stay and wander will show smoke animation ) If one right - clicked a tamed Chocobo with a saddle while holding the Titan Band he will phase through sitting on the chocobo and the Chocobo sitting on his head rapidly .

http://hgfound.org/resources/pediatric-growth-hormone/ | Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency CONTROL OF GROWTH Hormones are chemicals produced by special cells in glands and other organs of the body most hormones are produced by cells in the endocrine glands These hormones which are produced in very small amounts are released into the bloodstream and travel to the target organ or tissue where they exert their effect Several hormones are involved in regulating growth Some act directly on target organs while others act by triggering the production of other hormones which activate specific organ functions necessary for growth This finely tuned system can malfunction in several ways causing abnormal growth The pituitary gland is often called the master gland because it produces several hormones that control the functions of other glands It is located in the middle of the skull below the part of the brain called the hypothalamus The pituitary gland has two distinct parts An anterior front lobe and a posterior rear lobe The pituitary gland secretes its hormones in response to chemical messages from the hypothalamus the part of the brain to which it is connected Growth hormone is an anterior pituitary hormone whose main effect is to promote growth of body tissues Other anterior pituitary hormones affect growth indirectly by working through other glands These other hormones include Thyroid Stimulating Hormone TSH causes the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormone which regulates body metabolism and is essential for normal growth Adrenocorticotropic Hormone ACTH causes the adrenal glands to produce cortisol stress hormone and other hormones that enable the body to respond to stress Too much cortisol will cause growth failure in a child Luteinizing Hormone LH and Follicle Stimulating Hormone FSH cause the sex glands ovaries or testes to produce sex hormones which are necessary for adolescent sexual development and the growth spurt that accompanies puberty The major hormone produced by the posterior pituitary gland is called vasopressin or antidiuretic hormone ADH It controls water output through the kidneys CAUSES OF GROWTH HORMONE DEFICIENCY Growth hormone deficiency may occur by itself or in combination with one or more other pituitary hormone deficiencies It may be total no growth hormone is produced or partial some growth hormone is produced but not enough to support normal growth Hypopituitarism may be congenital resulting from abnormal formation of the pituitary or hypothalamus before the child is born or acquired stemming from damage to the pituitary or hypothalamus during or after birth Congenital hypopituitarism is present at birth although it may not be apparent for many months Acquired hypopituitarism may become evident any time during infancy or childhood and may occur after severe head injury or a serious illness such as meningitis or encephalitis Many cases of acquired hypopituitarism result from a tumor called craniopharyngioma This tumor may press on the hypothalamus or pituitary causing one or more hormone deficiencies Sometimes no cause for hypopituitarism can be identified or if a cause is suspected it may be difficult to prove Researchers are trying to learn more about the causes of growth hormone deficiency and hypopituitarism DIAGNOSIS OF GROWTH HORMONE DEFICIENCY The child with growth hormone deficiency is often small with an immature face and chubby body build The rate of growth of all body parts is slow so that the childs proportions remain normal Intelligence is normal If the childs height has been plotted on a growth chart it will appear to be leveling off and falling away from the childs established growth curve If growth failure has been present for a long time the child may be much shorter than other children the same age This is why height and weight measurements plotted on a growth chart are so Any child who is only as tall as children two or more years younger or who falls away from a previously normal growth curve should be evaluated by a doctor Pediatric endocrinologists are doctors who specialize in treating children with growth and hormone problems Depending on the situation the doctor may measure the child over a six to twelve month period in order to accurately determine the childs growth rate The evaluation starts with gathering information on the heights of relatives and the presence of any health problems in the family A history of early or late puberty sexual development and growth spurt in family members should be mentioned The doctor will want to know about the mothers pregnancy labor and delivery All measurements of the childs height and weight from birth on should be gathered so the doctor can plot them on a growth chart The doctor will ask questions about the childs general health and nutritional state past illnesses injuries and stresses A thorough physical examination will be performed and an xray of the hand and wrist may be obtained to see how bone development compares to height and chronologic age A small amount of blood may be drawn to look for evidence of thyroid hormone deficiency and kidney bone and gastrointestinal stomach and bowel diseases The amount of insulinlike growth hormoneI IGFI in the blood may be measured IGFI is the middleman in the growth process Growth hormone stimulates the liver and other body tissues to produce IGFI which then acts as the link between growth hormone in the blood and This simple evaluation often provides the doctor with enough information to identify the cause of the growth problem or to decide that no growth problem exists If the doctor suspects that a pituitary problem may exist further testing is necessary A series of blood tests can measure concentrations of hormones in the blood and the ability of the pituitary gland to respond to various stimuli These tests may be done in the clinic or during a brief hospitalization Growth hormone deficiency is moderately difficult to diagnose because the pituitary gland produces growth hormone in bursts This means that the level of growth hormone in a single random blood sample is likely to be very low One way of testing for growth hormone deficiency is to give the child a substance that causes the release of a growth hormone burst in normal children and measure the amount of growth hormone present in several blood samples obtained over a period of time Since any child may not respond to any given test on a given day more than one stimulus Another way of testing growth hormone secretion involves hospitalizing the child and measuring the amount of growth hormone present in blood samples obtained overnight during sleep or even during an entire 24 hour period Since about two thirds of total growth hormone production occurs during deep sleep this test provides a better reflection of how much growth hormone the childs pituitary gland normally produces If several tests show that no growth hormone is present or that the amount of growth hormone being produced is not enough to support normal growth the diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency is established A great deal of research is being done to develop more accurate and reliable ways of diagnosing growth hormone deficiency Even the definition of growth hormone deficiency is being revised as researchers learn more about conditions that may cause partial growth hormone deficiency TREATMENT OF GROWTH HORMONE DEFICIENCY Growth hormone deficiency is treated with injections of growth hormone Most children receive injections daily others receive it six times a week and a few receive it three times a week There is usually a prompt increase in growth rate after treatment starts which may be noticeable to the child and parent in 3 to 4 months This faster thannormal growth rate slowly declines over time but it continues to be greater than would occur without treatment Many parents notice an increase in the childs appetite and loss of body fat after treatment begins The treatment of growth hormone deficiency usually is carried out over several years until the child achieves an acceptable adult height or maximum growth potential is reached As with other conditions children and parents may become impatient to see faster or more impressive results from therapy They may become discouraged even when treatment iis going according to plan It is important to remember that growth is a slow process that is measured over months children who expect to grow overnight when they start Deficiency will be disappointed Your childs doctor will discuss realistic short and longterm expectations of therapy with If testing reveals other hormone deficiencies medications are available to replace them thyroid hormone cortisol and sex hormones can be administered easily when found to be lacking It is important that these hormones are taken as directed because normal growth can occur only when all hormones are present in the proper amounts Good nutrition and adequate rest are important for normal growth in all children SOURCES OF HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE Until recently the only source of human growth hormone was the pituitary glands of deceased people obtained at autopsy In April 1985 pituitaryderived growth hormone was removed from distribution in the United States and many foreign countries following the deaths of several young adults from a very rare viral disease that may have been transmitted through the pituitary growth hormone they had received many years earlier Fortunately the first biosynthetic growth hormone which is produced using recombinant DNA technology was in the final stages of testing and was approved as safe and effective for use in growth hormone deficient children Biosynthetic growth hormone is supplied as a powder in sterile vials Parents and children are taught how to mix the powder into a solution and administer the injections Treatment is continued as long as potential for growth exists and the child is responding to therapy With early diagnosis and a good response to treatment children with growth hormone deficiency can expect to reach normal adult height PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF SHORT STATURE OIur society places great emphasis on height Children who are short for their age sometimes have problems because playmates and teachers treat them as though they are younger rather than just smaller Parents tend to do this too and decrease their expectations of the child These children then may not act their age because its not expected of them Teasing and name calling may be hard to take Some of these problems may be helped by frank and open discussion with teachers and classmates It is very important to provide emotional support for the child with GH deficiency and to emphasize the childs many good and valuable characteristics so that the childs stature does not limit his horizons More about psychosocial adaptation to short stature can be learned from parents of short children and from your growth clinic doctor nurse and psychologist HOPE FOR THE FUTURE Biosynthetic growth hormone is available in unlimited quantity for the Deficiency of all growth hormone deficient children It is possible that substitutes for growth hormone may become available as research continues These may include growth hormone releasing factor GHRF the hypothalamic chemical that directs the pituitary to produce growth hormone and IGFI that links growth hormone with linear growth Much research is being done to better understand the causes of growth hormone deficiency and to develop more accurate ways of diagnosing it Many children with growth hormone deficiency can look forward to reaching normal height as a result of the research that has been done over the years and is continuing today Author Patricia A Rieser Family Nurse PractitionerC University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill From original text by Ruth P Owens MD and Allen W Root MD This booklet is dedicated to the memory of Lisa Kraft Copyright 1979 HUMAN GROWTH FOUNDATION Inc All rights reserved Treatment regimen modified to conform to current treatment regimens by the

http://hgv-training.info/hgv-licence-requirements/ | HGV LICENCE & REQUIREMENTS In order to become an HGV driver , you will have to first have to meet the requirements to qualify for your licence . However , once you have done this there is little else in the way of training in order to prevent you walking into the job of your choice . There is such a shortage of HGV drivers in the country at the moment that you will be in high demand , so once you get your licence you will be able to enjoy all of the benefits that the job has to offer . Getting your HGV licence involves the need to qualify through a training course . Many companies offer these and they can last as little as five days . However , lengths of courses can vary , as can the price you will have to pay . There are two types of licence when it comes to driving HGV โ s . The first is known as the Category C licence . This refers to rigid vehicles โ all - in - one units โ which are categorised as HGV Class 2 vehicles . You will need to get your Category C licence before considering the second type of licence , known as Category C + E . This refers to articulated โ or โ artic โ โ vehicles , which consist of a box trailer and cab , and these are referred to as HGV Class PROVISIONAL LICENSE Before you get either of these licenses , you will have to apply for a provisional licence . This will require that you fill in two forms , the D2 and the D4 . You can either get these from the DVLA , or if you apply through a company to carry out your training then they can provide these to you . The provisional license will in turn require that you already hold a full driving license for a car . The D4 is a medical form , so you will need to get a doctor to fill this in for you . Once the forms have been completed , you should send them off and wait for up to three weeks for your provisional licence to arrive , which will not require a fee . You will then be ready to undergo your training . THEORY TEST Once you have got hold of your provisional licence , the next stage is the theory test , which you must complete before taking the practical test . There are various books that you can buy on the topic , and these will help you to pass the two phases on the exam , the multiple choice part and the hazard perception . Once you have passed the exam , you will then be allowed to take your practical test to become a qualified HGV driver . PRACTICAL TEST Before undertaking your practical test , you will want to undergo training . There are numerous companies offering training courses for the practical test , and choosing one will often depend upon how long it takes and how much it costs . The actual practical test lasts for an hour and a half , during which you will be expected to make numerous procedures and not pick up any major faults . Once you have passed the test you will receive your Category C license , enabling you to get a job driving one of these vehicles . You will also be able to apply for your Category C + E test , and after you pass this then you will be licensed to drive any HGV . | [

http://hiconsumption.com/2014/02/essential-cocktail-recipes-30-best-whiskey-drinks/ | Essential Cocktail Recipes : 30 Best Whiskey Drinks Posted in Food By Staff Share Tweet For the most part , we prefer to drink our whiskey neat . Whether it be our favorite single malt Scotch , or a good โ ole American Kentucky bourbon . Pour a finger โ s width or two of pretty much anything good , and we โ re happy campers . There are times however when we like to get a bit creative with our booze . You know , a nice whiskey cocktail . Thanks to the popularity of shows like Mad Men ( thank you Don Draper ) , the popularity of classic whiskey cocktails has made a huge resurgence in bars , making it much easier to get a good Old Fashioned at some of our local spots here in San Diego . This surge in popularity has also led to a lot great iterations on some classic whiskey drinks , and we all for progression and creativity . The drawback is that there are still a lot bad drinks out there , and herein lies the problem . How do you go about finding the best whiskey drink recipes on the web ? Well that โ s where we come in . We โ ve been drinking the stuff for years , and have taken on the daunting task of drinking countless whiskey cocktails to find the best ones . So let โ s get to it . We โ ve got everything from the classics , to the new school concoctions . Below are the 30 best whiskey drinks โ in no particular order . 1 . Old Fashioned We wo n โ t waste any time getting to our favorite cocktail , the Old Fashioned . The original recipe dates all the way back to the 1800s , and while it has been changed up a number of times ( with many bartenders not actually knowing how to make it ) we prefer this particular recipe . Use an orange peel ( not a wedge ) , you โ ll thank us later . [ View Recipe 2 . Coke , Peanuts , and Whiskey The aptly titled whiskey cocktail takes on the delicious pairing of roasted peanuts with ice - cold Coca - Cola , and adds some Jack Daniel โ s to the mix . [ View Recipe 3 . Rob Roy Created back in 1894 by a bartender at the Waldorf Astoria New York , this drink has gone on to become iconic on the cocktail scene . Celebrating the premiere of the operetta with the same name , you ca n โ t go wrong with any variation of this whiskey drink . [ 4 . Hot Blooded What original started simply as the Jalapeno , Blood Orange and Whiskey cocktail was recently renamed to Hot Blooded . If you โ re looking for a bit of spice in your drink , this is a great choice . [ 5 . Mint Julep Anyone who keeps up with the Kentucky Derby has at least heard of one of these . It โ s the traditional drink of the massive sporting event , with nearly 80,000 being served up each year . It takes only 3 minutes to craft , and it โ s the perfect way to beat the heat . [ 6 . Sea Captain โ s Special The first cocktail dedicated to rye whiskey , this bitter - sour concoction includes bitters , pastis , and is topped off with some champagne . [ 7 . Suburban Another classic , this drink is said to date all the way back to 1875 . Typically ( although not always ) served up in a traditional cocktail glass , the Suburban blends rye whiskey with dark rum and port , and is finished off with a dash of Angostura bitters . [ 8 . Smoke Signals When you โ re really looking to knock the socks off of your house guests , this is the go - to . Created in Portland , Oregon , this whiskey drink includes a mixture of pecans , sugar , lemon juice , and is topped off with carved ice chunks . [ 9 . Sazerac Right behind the Old Fashioned , this bad boy is our second favorite whiskey cocktail . First created in New Orleans circa 1850 , this delicious cocktail includes rye whiskey , bitters , simple syrup ( or sugar cube ) , absinthe , and a lemon peel as a finishing garnish . [ 10 . Penicillin This cocktail is a great way to start whiskey enthusiasts on the path to drinking their single malt neat . It includes 2 ounces of a blended scotch , fresh lemon juice , ginger syrup , honey , and a splash of Laphroaig ( oh how we love peat ) โ providing a nice smokey finish . [ 11 . Irish Coffee When you โ re looking for the ideal whiskey drink to heat you up during a cool summer night , this is the go - to . Made with Irish whiskey ( as indicated by the name ) along with coffee , sugar and heavy cream , this is a great dessert choice for whiskey drinkers . [ 12 . Manhattan Blending rye whiskey with sweet vermouth and Angostura bitters in an ice filled cocktail glass , the Manhattan is as classic as they come . [ 13 . Bourbon Sweet Tea Forget the Arnold Palmer , this is the way to enjoy a hard tea . And pouring it into a mason jar to drink from ? The ultimate finishing touch . [ 14 . Remember The Maine This is a classic cocktail that most have forgotten about , but has managed to stay relevant among whiskey cocktail enthusiasts โ and for good reason . Featured in Charles H . Baker Jr . s 1939 book โ The Gentleman โ s Companion , โ this old school cocktail blends rye whiskey , sweet vermouth , cherry brandy and absinthe . [ 15 . Brain - Duster With a name like Brain - Duster , how could this thing not be good ? Think of the previously mentioned Remember The Maine , but skip the cherry brandy . [ 16 . Tom and Jerry There is literally no better holiday drink than this โ whiskey or other . This classic Christmas cocktail was created all the way back in the early 19th century , and is very addictive . You can even make a batch for the kids โ skip the alcohol of course . Beats the hell out of egg nog . [ 17 . Whiskey Sour Simple , yet tasty . This classic cocktail blends a shot of bourbon with lemon juice and simple syrup , served on the rocks , and topped off with a lemon wedge . [ 18 . Seven and Seven With many of the other whiskey drinks on the list , you can choose the brand of whiskey . That โ s not the case with this cocktail . The recipe specifically calls for Seagram โ s 7 whiskey mixed with 7 - up , and finished off with a lemon wedge for garnish . [ 19 . Sriracha Hot Toddy You did n โ t think we could put together an entire list of the best whiskey drinks without including something with Sriracha hot sauce in it did you ? We love this stuff too much , and we just had to experiment . Take all the ingredients of a Hot Toddy โ whiskey , honey , ginger , lemon , and add some Sriracha . Now that โ s what we โ re talking about . [ 20 . Presbyterian If you liked the Seven and Seven , this cocktail is right up your alley . Pour 2 ounces of Scotch into a glass with 4 ounces of ginger ale , and you โ re ready to roll . [ 21 . Rusty Nail This drink has gotten a bit of a bad rap over the years โ being labeled as an old man โ s drink , but we respectfully disagree . The mixture of Scotch and Drambuie tastes great together , and the dash of Angsotura bitters is a nice finishing touch . [ 22 . John Collins Basically a tall version of the previously featured Whiskey Sour . Made with 1.5 ounces of bourbon , lemon juice , simple syrup , club soda , and both a Maraschino cherry and orange slice for garnish . [ 23 . Suffering Bastard How could you go wrong with a whiskey drink called the Suffering Bastard ? The answer is , you ca n โ t . There are some variations of the this drink ( a Mai tai version that calls for rum ) , but we prefer this recipe of bourbon , gin and ginger ale . [ 24 . Blood and Sand Yet another classic , this Scotch based cocktail was invented all the way back in 1922 , and was named after the Rudolph Valentino move with the same name . The recipe mixes Scotch whisky , Rosso vermouth , cherry brandy and orange juice . [ 25 . The Revolver To be honest , we were n โ t really sure to expect from a recipe that called for a half ounce of coffee liquor , but the mixture of Buffalo Trace and Kahlua was actually quite good . [ 26 . Spiced Bourbon Cider Hard cider has definitely seen a surge in popularity as of late , and this is by far the best way to enjoy a glass of alcoholic cider . Add bourbon , ground cloves , nutmeg , ginger , cinnamon sticks , bitters , and maple syrup to your apple cider , and you โ ve got yourself a beverage . [ 27 . The Irish Redhead This one โ s pretty easy to guess the ingredients right from the title . Made with 3 ounces of Jameson Irish Whiskey , an ounce of Grenadine , and 6 ounces of sprite , it โ s the perfect way to settle that uneasy stomach . We โ re kidding . Sort of . [ 28 . Glasgow Cocktail If you โ re partial to the spicy - bitter taste , then the Glasgow is for you . After you fill up your mixing glass with ice cubes , add Scotch whisky , dry vermouth , bitters and pasties , pour the mixture into a cocktail glass and enjoy . [ 29 . The Brooklyn Cocktail It may not be as famous as its neighbor ( the Manhattan ) , but that has n โ t stopped the Brooklyn from becoming one of our favorite whiskey drinks . This recipe calls for 2 ounces of rye whiskey , dry vermouth , Maraschino liqueur , and AmerPicon . [ 30 . Bacon , Bourbon , and Hazelnut Hot Chocolate A โ best of โ list is not complete without including the greatest food known to man โ bacon . The perfect way to enjoy those cold winter evenings , this is a recipe for success . [ | [

http://hiconsumption.com/2015/09/the-25-best-stand-up-comedians-of-all-time/ | The 25 Best Stand - Up Comedians of All Time Posted in Entertainment By Sam Jordan Share Tweet Throughout the course of history , standing in front of a hundred strangers and trying to make them laugh for 30 minutes has never been easy . Brain surgery is harder , yes , but you would n โ t click on the 25 Best Brain Surgeons of All Time . Or would you , you surprisingly well - rounded reader ? Does n โ t matter . We โ d choose to have brain surgery before we โ d write that mess . So we โ re paying homage to the legends of stand - up by naming the best of the best . With two - drinks ( minimum ) in our bellies we gathered โ round to discuss the criteria , boiling it down to not only who was the funniest , but also giving ample weight to originality and the size of the footprint they left on America โ s comedy scene in the 20th and 21st centuries . In whittling our list down , some greats were left in the green room , but come on ; if there George Carlin George Carlin is the greatest stand - up comedian of all time . Between his brilliant social and political commentary , genius - level observational skills , and legendary command of the English language , Carlin was a true master of the craft . No stranger to obscenity ( his โ seven dirty words โ routine reverberated all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court ) , Carlin could be crass and juvenile one minute , then deeply philosophical and wise the next . His five decades worth of A - level material will likely never be matched . Richard Pryor No other performer courted controversy with comedy and courage like Richard Pryor did . After having a self - described epiphany in the late - 60s about the content of his relatively tame act , Pryor began dropping N - bombs in rapid fire as he simultaneously started speaking bluntly about blacks , whites , and his own personal demons . One of the most influential comics of all time , regardless of race or style , Pryor โ s body of work is beyond reproach . Robin Williams Full of frenetic energy and an almost otherworldly ability to improvise , Robin Williams had more comedic talent than perhaps any other comedian to grab a mic . His stand - up specials in the late - 70s and 80s were fast , furious , and full of hysterical impressions , and they paved the way for a hugely successful film career . We โ re also gonna call him the funniest talk show guest in the history of the medium . Lenny Bruce The definitive groundbreaking counter - culture comedian , Lenny Bruce โ s penchant for saying whatever came to his mind on stage earned him genius status and a career - wrecking level of controversy in the 50s and early 60s . While not exactly a laugh - a - minute kind of performer , his fearless choice of material and the language he delivered it with made him one of the most influential performers of any type ever . Bill Cosby Bill Cosby is one of the true legends of stand - up comedy , a pioneer in fact , even if his legacy appears doomed to sink substantially under a startling stack of sexual assault allegations . A master storyteller , Cosby โ s humorous recollections of his childhood and his family - friendly musings on life crossed racial and age boundaries at a time when it was extremely difficult to do so , influencing everyone from Richard Pryor to Jerry Seinfeld . Moral lessons were always a huge part of his standout creations , Fat Albert and The Cosby Show , but was he morally bankrupt all along ? Jerry Seinfeld Of course most stand - up comedy can be categorized as observational , but Jerry Seinfeld elevated the art form to new heights through his decades of dedication to the craft . Can anyone say โ What โ s the deal with โฆ โ in anything but Seinfeld โ s classic nasal tone ? Even now in his 60s , with a sitcom - fueled fortune underneath his fanny , Seinfeld is still doing sets , some 40 years after first he grabbed the open mic at New York โ s Catch a Rising Star . Don Rickles The greatest insult comic of all time , Don Rickles made America laugh for roughly 50 + years with his trademark brand of zingers . โ Mr . Warmth โ spared no one from his jabs , whether it was his buddy Frank Sinatra , women , or minorities , but his lightning quick jokes somehow never rubbed people the wrong way once the chuckle smoke cleared . To Rickles , every performance was a roast . Bob Newhart Bob Newhart has always been one of a kind . With a deadpan delivery , that trademark stammering and stuttering , and those painfully good pregnant pauses , he โ s always done more with silence and a stare than most comics can do on full blast โ the rare case of a straight being also being the funniest man in the room . His debut album , The Button - Down Mind of Bob Newhart , famously went to # 1 , knocking Elvis Presley out of the top spot , but that was just the beginning as both of his long - running sitcoms are among the funniest in TV history . Johnny Carson For 30 years , Johnny Carson was America โ s warm glass of milk before bed . That may sound tame , but it โ s simply a testament to his enduringly irresistible charm and poise in front of The Tonight Show curtain . The Nebraska - born king of late night made millions laugh on a daily basis - โ a feat much more difficult than he made it look . He also represented the ultimate goal for any comic : get booked on Johnny , and you โ re gold . His kooky characters and celebrity interviews rounded out the package , but it was Carson โ s nightly monologue that we โ ll always remember and miss . Chris Rock An Eddie Murphy disciple , Chris Rock โ s crackling voice , energetic stage presence , and stinging social commentary helped carve out his own unique path in the 90s . Bring the Pain , his 1996 HBO special , was one of the decade โ s finest . Even though his movies have been hit and miss , he still makes you stop what you โ re doing and pay attention when he grabs the mic . Steven Wright Look up โ deadpan โ in the dictionary and you โ ll see a picture of Steven Wright ( at least in our dictionary , since we sketched it in ) . With a tortoise - like delivery , Wright โ s brilliant one - liners ( โ Curiosity killed the cat , but for a while I was a suspect . โ ) earned him modest fame in the 80s and 90s , and though he โ s still tours , we think he โ s one of the most underrated comics of all time . Steve Martin When Steve Martin was on TV in the 70s , people prepared to laugh their asses off . After writing for the Smothers Brothers and other stars he mastered his stand - up game , creating a hysterical persona that was part goofball , part ironic satirist . Whether he was establishing catchphrases ( Excuuuse me ! ) , playing some badass banjo , or dancing the King Tut , Martin totally earned his arena - filling rock star status and excellent film career . Eddie Murphy Like Kobe Bryant going from high school to the NBA , Eddie Murphy was a teenage phenom . Inspired by both Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor , Murphy was performing in New York City as a teenager , landing a gig on SNL by age 19 , and delivering one of the funniest stand - up specials ever ( Delirious ) at just 22 years old . After years of safe ( Shrek ) or sucky ( Norbit ) movie roles , it โ s easy to forget how hysterical he was in the 80s , but there was no one hotter in the Reagan era . Woody Allen Before he became one of the most respected directors in film history , Woody Allen had a stand - up career that was ahead of its time in the 1960s . With a distinct on - stage persona โ nervous , neurotic , and whip - smart โ Allen โ s offbeat , Jewish New Yorker delivery was just as fun as his highly creative material . Jonathan Winter A revered comic genius , Jonathan Winters , wove improv , impersonations , and a deep reservoir of oddball homemade characters into his stand - up routines and TV appearances for decades . Much like his protรฉgรฉ and devoted admirer Robin Williams , his creative energy often seemed to be from another galaxy . His career spanned more than 50 years and included many memorable roles , from It โ s a Mad , Mad , Mad , Mad World to playing Williams โ dad on Mork & Mindy to handling the voice duties for Grandpa Smurf on TV and Papa Smurf in the movies . David Letterman Irreverent , offbeat , and entirely original , David Letterman โ s ironic , everything - is - stupid style helped usher in a new approach to comedy that is the norm today . While you might not think of him as a stand up , that is how he first earned the attention of Johnny Carson , his mentor . With the groundbreaking Late Night and the comparatively toothless but still fun Late Show , Letterman was a late night institution , standing up in front of America each night for 33 years , the longest tenure in talk show history Joan Rivers โ Can we talk ? โ In a field dominated by men โ remember , stand - up in the 60s and 70s was quite a different beast โ Joan Rivers made it in a big way . With her acid - tongued , Borscht Belt style , raspy voice , and self - deprecating jabs ( โ My best birth control now is just to leave the lights on โ ) , Rivers rose to the elite rank of Johnny Carson โ s permanent guest host for The Tonight Show and grew a multimedia empire based on her unique brand . Louis C.K . The two benchmarks any successful comic has to meet are 1 ) being able to write good material and 2 ) being able to deliver it well . Louis Szekely ( now you know why he goes by C.K. ) showed he had a knack for the former , writing for David Letterman , Conan O โ Brien , and Chris Rock in the 90s , but in the 00s he also showed his delivery was more than good enough to carry his creative takes on modern human behavior . He was also the first comedian to succeed in bypassing Live at the Beacon Theater , was sold on his site for $ 5 a pop . Rodney Dangerfield โ When I was born I was so ugly the doctor slapped my mother . โ Rodney Dangerfield was n โ t the most versatile of comedians , but the one note he consistently played , the self - deprecating loser who gets no respect , was unforgettable . With his bug eyes , head twitches , and a never - ending arsenal of one - liners that skewered his looks , sex life , and wife , Dangerfield was a guaranteed riot every time he took the stage . Bob Hope You were never gonna finish watching a Bob Hope special with laughter - induced stomach cramps ( at least anyone born after 1960 was n โ t ) , but he was unquestionably one of the elite icons of comedy in the 20th century . Whether he was performing for the troops , in the movies , on TV , or on radio , Leslie Townes Hope entertained America for an astounding eight decades , providing an always reliable source of laughs . Jay Leno Most people will remember Jay Leno for his two decades behind The Tonight Show desk , with an asterisk that David Letterman and Conan O โ Brien deserved it more . And they did . But as a rising star in the 70s and 80s , the Great Chinned One โ s observational musings were always funny . Even after becoming a millionaire many times over , Leno โ s love for stand - up persisted , as he still occasionally works on new material in clubs across the country . Bill Hicks Dark , jaded , and hyper - critical of popular culture , religion , government , and often his audience , Bill Hicks never had mainstream appeal , and he was fine with that . His shows were spiked by angry rants that , if they did n โ t contain so much depth , you โ d have sworn they were the work of a madman . His tragic death from cancer at age 32 cut short a career that was 100 % unique and unapologetic . Mitch Hedberg โ My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana . I said โ No , but I want a regular banana later , so โฆ yeah . โ Much like Steven Wright , Mitch Hedberg was a master at delivering absurd one - liners , often through closed eyes and shaggy hair . Was he shy ? Was he high ? It did n โ t matter . His gem - to - dud ratio was insanely high , making his death at the age of 37 even more of a painful loss . Sam Kinison A former Pentacostal preacher , Sam Kinison brought fire and brimstone - style fury to each performance . With his trademark scream , Kinison pulled no punches when it came to his punch lines , crafting crass , raw , and X - rated material that was impossible to ignore with his ultra - intense delivery . A fatal car crash at 38 kept us from seeing if old age would โ ve mellowed him at all . Dave Chappelle A cerebral stoner , Dave Chappelle has always marched to the beat of his own drummer . While his stand - up shows in recent years have been plagued by too many bizarre meltdowns , his excellent earlier work and iconic sketch comedy show locked in his reputation as one of the greats . | [

http://hideyourarms.com/2009/01/20/redbubble-review/ | RedBubble [ Review ] by Andy on January 20 , 2009 A few months ago I was contacted by Print - On - Demand / Store - front / Design Community site RedBubble to check out their service , unfortunately with me going to France it took me a while to actually make an order , and then there was a backlog of other reviews to do , and then the Christmas break , and then I left my homework on the school bus โฆ which my dog then ate . RedBubble have got a lot of great artists using their services , so you can find a lot of great tees and pieces of art ( they do prints ) just by using the browse function , or by looking at the best selling products for that week / month / all time , in fact one of the reasons why it took me so long to make an order was because I was struggling to pick which artists I should treat myself to ( I do n โ t usually pick out the samples that come to HYAHQ ) . Danger ! by J3concepts , and Brain Tumor by bahgoesthesheep ( to really test out their printing technique ) , I managed to make an error in my order . With the Brain Tumor tee instead of being set to mens t - shirts by default as most of the other tees I looked at were , the artist had set women โ s t - shirt options to be the default and I managed to miss it all the way through the ordering process . Is this a failing on my part , or do they really need to make the default options changeable by artists ? Personally I do n โ t think it โ s particularly necessary , but that โ s probably because I do n Of course , when it comes to print - on - demand , the issue that most people are worried about is the quality of the product . Yes , it โ s nice that you can upload a design and buy it ( and other people can too ) , or support other artists that are using the platfrom , but if the tees suck then you might as well not bother . Happily , the tees do not suck , I do n โ t think you โ d be able to guess that they came from a explain the DTG process . Direct to garment printing is a style of printing where designs are printed directly onto the t - shirts . The direct to garment printer is an industrial version of traditonal ink jet printing technology ( think of the ink jet printer you have at home ) . This allows a wide range of colours to be laid down very quickly . One of the things we really like about this printing technology is that the t - shirts retain their soft feel โ they do n โ t have that plastic feel that some printing processes can leave . The t - shirts themselves are from AA stock , which is so ubiquitous in the industry that it โ s getting pretty silly me even telling you about them . Basically , they โ re good shirts and you do n โ t have to worry about kids in Asia being chained to sewing machines to make them since they โ re produced in downtown LA , the only thing you really need to worry about is the guy in charge of AA being a bit creepy , but we can hardly blame for that . Each tee comes with a fabric tag ( held on by a cute little clothes peg ) with the name of the product and artist stuck on it , which again helps to personalise a service which I think some people build up as being very much unpersonal . This experience with has left me impressed , I โ d happily use them again , and at ~ ยฃ 15 for a t - shirt they โ re not too bad cost - wise either , though obviously the eventual price is dependent upon what the artist wants to earn from each sale .

Disqus actively supports the following browsers : Firefox Chrome Internet Explorer 11 + Safari Alan โข 10 years ago My experience with PODs has been pretty good and I have quite a few from Cafepress and Zazzle , one from Printfection too and not one I could complain about . I have n ' t tried Red Bubble yet but they do have some great designers over there too . henryv โข 10 years ago Good to know I ' m not the only one to order a womens tee by mistake . Andy That makes me feel a lot better too ! yanmos Very nice review ! James Lilllis Great review Andy Yeah , I dare say I own more RedBubble tee shirts than any other person in the world ( around 60 ) and the printing at the moment is fantastic ( it was n ' t always . . . ) . They ' re awesome . But I ' m slightly miffed you did n ' t ' choose one of my shirts . Where ' s the love . . . ? Huh ? thanks for the compliment James and Yanmos , one of the reasons why it took me so long to get this review posted was because I wanted to make sure I covered it properly and in a more in depth way than usual since I do n ' t usually review POD companies . James , I was actually very tempted by ' joke ' ( I loved the Dark Knight ) or one of your Space Invaders designs , but I really wanted to get something by j3concepts since I ' m a fan of his and ' brain tumor ' by bahgoesthesheep was largely to test out the printing service ( though I did like the design too ) . If they ever send me another coupon code I ' ll be sure to pick up one of yours , and I ' ll claim that I ' m testing out their Paul McClintock Great review . I reason I choose to set women ' s style as the default for all my tee ' s is because they look better on screen . Overall I think the template design could be better , but it probably wo n ' t change soon , so I ' d expect to see a lot of people choosing to display the women ' s tee ' s by default for a while to come . - - - - James Lilllis I forgive you Andy . I ' m sure you just clicked those buttons in a moment of weakness . Of course , if you do get the Joker shirt you will become the coolest person in England ( maybe just behind Rowan Atkinson ) . . . . and I ' ve got a few more tricks up my sleeve , so I ' ll be in touch . : ) Thanks for the insight Paul , I guess that you ' d want to make the mockup look as attractive as possible , and if setting it to womens as default does that then fair enough . Sparks68 Great review . I must admit , I ' ve ordered a few shirts over the past 12 months and I ' ve been impressed with every one . When the black shirts were introduced I was dubious , but they delivered again , even with Wjite text . The latest packaging is great and I loved the little peg and label touch . There are some great designs and I often look to see what is currently selling on the site . Redbubble - Keep up the great work Designers - Spread the word and support fellow artists . ColinT Great in depth review ! I have been extremely impressed by the quality of all the products I ' ve ordered from RedBubble so far . MuscularTeeth heeey Redbubble rocks ! im glad you enjoyed the experience and yes customer support is second to none there . and like james lillis , i am mortally insulted you didnt buy a muscularteeth T . haha ! dendoo heeey . . .why did n ' t you purchase a dendoo tshirt ? ? I love RedBubble . The quality is amazing and I ' m most proud to be a part of the community . I think the latest packaging design kicks butt butt and they have the most amazing service . Good review and Sparks68 is so right : designers who have work on RB or who know folks with work on RB really have to promote , promote , promote ! o0OdemocrazyO0o Very very informative ! I am a redbubbler my self and have only just now purchased from it - so in a few more days my partner can see her totally customised personal shirt for her birthday present ! woo ! I am more excited than her probably : D Thanks for the great blog . . . bookmark material ! Peace - Abthony โข 8 years ago I am glad to hear that Redbubble does a good job for its customers who purchase work from them But it is really unfair to the artist who participate on the site . I am on the site and I am constantly told I can not participate in groups and contests because the small minded people who run them cant accept other styles and subjects that put their work to shame . As an artist I cant recomend the site unless you do t shirt graphics or pretty little pictures of cute things like bunnies and still lifes . the MJ โข 8 years ago Sounds like sour grapes to me , Abthony . It seems downright bizarre to blame the company for the fact that some specific users of the site have n ' t included you in their groups . Part of the fun of RedBubble is that users can start their own groups , so you should try that instead of complaining that you ' re not right for the groups others have created . Abthony No its really not sour grapes I am just stating a fact so other artisits know what to expect from both the site and from the other artists . I really did not post this comment to get into an argument with any one and you are entitled to your own opinion but if your going to give reviews of the site it should be reviewed by people who use the site to purchase and by people who post stuff to show and sell . I have never bought anything from the site but it sounds like they do a S . O ' Daniel I had ABYSMAL customer service from Red Bubble . They sent me the wrong sized t - shirt ( was supposed to be a Christmas gift ) . They finally answered my email ( the ONLY contact option given ) 2 weeks later and said they ' d send another . Never heard from them again . And no refund . Just awful and disappointing . democrazy @ S . O ' Daniel Sorry to hear , I would keep hounding them , I buy and sell stuff on there and would n ' t want it happening to me . . . I have always found them to be awesome , if I am not happy they have always fixed it asap and replaced etc without argument . . . Just keep at them . . . ; D Bill โข 7 years ago There is a good story about redbubble here . Their lawyers resigned because of the Neo - Nazi material being promoted on the site . http : / / firmspy . com / law - diso . . . Yuv โข 7 years ago I ' ve been concerned about their increasing reliance on Hitler related t - shirts . Recently their attorneys quit and refused to represent the company because the attorneys disagreed with the company ' s promotion of Hitler http : / / firmspy . com / law - diso . . . Jan Piller The nazi and hate material on the site is nothing compared to the kids t - shirts . This stuff being printed on kiddie t - s is a default thing on the site and many artists , I ' m sure , are not even aware their vile designes are being sold on kiddie t - s . ( and yes - people re buying this shit ) But instead of fixing the default , the owner is asking people to " vote " on it . Some things just require a few brain cells - not a vote . It ' s no wonder Redbubble is being torn to shreads on FirmSpy . http : / / www . redbubble . com / pr . . . Antonio Thanks for the links to the Neo - Nazi material and the offensive children ' s clothing . Is redbubble unmoderated or do they allow this stuff ? ? what do other artists say ? Amber RedBubble dropped by law firm for its Hipster Hitler t - shirt range - Arnold Bloch Leibler , the well - known Australian legal firm , has ceased to act for Melbourne - based Red Bubble , an online arts community , after it was revealed that the company is selling T - shirts glorifying Hitler . ABL โ s senior partner , Mark Leibler , who is also national chairman of the Australia / Israel & Jewish Affairs Council , issued this statement last week , which J - Wire publishes in full : http : / / www . jwire . com . au / new . . . Ann Saw this story about Redbubble yesterday : ( http : / / www . jwire . com . au / new . . . Ann CEO of RedBubble Martin Hosking has posted a response in the comments here about the Nazi tees story Jane Boyd @ Antonio - the other artists are leaving redbubble in droves . More than a hundred have already closed their accounts - many more have withdrawn their work from sale . Their promotion and production of neonazi merchandise just goes too far . Any artist to remain associated with the site risks being labelled a racist . red barclay i am thinking about ordering shirts at redbubble . have some picked out already . just wondering if the sizes run a bit large or if they come smaller than expected . ive used other t shirt sites and have been disappointed to find that when ordering a large , it comes much larger than expected democrazy @ red barclay They use American Apparel , and the large is n ' t crazy big . I think the measurements they have on the site are accurate . Else go find an AA brand Tee and try it on ; D One thing that ' s good with RB ( I sell a few shirts on there ) is that if your not happy with the printing / quality they usually replace it without kicking up a fuss ( only happened once ) rock on . . . Website Updates New Tees are awesome . But aware about sizes . Marini Ballard My credit card was charged on Friday night . I never ordered anything . I need to talk to somebody about this . This caused me a lot of issues with my card being rejected for planned things this weekend . Mrs Angry ! ! ! I ordered a tee shirt on the 18th of september , and I ' m still waiting for delivery despite them saying that they despatched it on the 22nd of September . I ' ve emailed them twice and have only recieved an automated email in response . I would not recommend using this company , their customer service is appalling . I ordered this as a present for my brothers birthday and its now too late ! Maggie Does anyone know how you can actually make contact with Red Bubble - I placed an order some weeks back and dispite receiving a funky email telling me that my order had been dispatched , I ' ll still waiting - have sent lots of ' questions ' via their website and tried to respond to the email recieved , but no - one wants to speak to me . Disappointed . . . . Donaldite โข 6 years ago Did you ever receive it ? I ' ve been waiting over a month now since I ' ve received the shipping confirmation . Very disappointed as well . Zootsa My order from RedBubble just arrived a month after I ordered it and the t - shirts are extremely low quality . These t - shirts are very thin . As thin as the cheapest Chinese t - shirts . Also the colour of some of the printing is wrong . Where there should be Red they have printed Orange . Donaldite โข 6 years ago Now I ' m worried that my shirt might be a women ' s size as well . Guess I ' ll find out if it ever arrives . This company has horrible ( actually non - existent ) customer service . I ' ve been emailing for a month and have n ' t heard from anybody , and of course . . .they do n ' t have a phone number ? ! ? ! ? Yazzibabi Having Problems With Red Bubble ? Call Red bubble at ( 408 ) 206 - 3224 Otso614 Its been a month and havent recieve my shirt yet . .wat tha heckkkk ! , Canvas Prints Red Bubble provides detailed review . Most of them are good stuff that you can understand . Huh , My child wanted to have some of this . Blablabla โข 5 years ago The price you have giving here does not inc custom charges or vat . In Germany I have just had to pay 25 % extra and reviews for the UK suggest the charges are closer to 50 % crazy Andy ( Hide Your Arms ) โข 5 years ago Hi , I could n ' t list customs charges because they vary from country to country so I can only give the base price in my review ( which is pretty old now ) . Customs charges are n ' t a blanket 50 % in the UK . As with all orders from outside the UK there is a ยฃ 15 value allowance , anything over that can be charges by HMRC for 20 % VAT up to about ยฃ 120 after which there is an additional duty to pay with is about 15 % I think . There will also be an additional charge from the courier company for your ' convenience ' of having them pay the customs and handling charges in advance for you . That might end up being 50 Redbubble are n ' t liable for customs charges levied on entry to a country , and it would be illegal for them to falsify forms suggesting that the value of goods is lower than paid . Tyler Hello ! This was written 5 years ago , I ' m interested to know if the quality of print and service is still the same now . Let me know ! Thanks John โข 3 years ago What a horrible SITE ! BUYER BEWARE ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! They ' ll just take your $ $ $ $ $ and leave you hanging !

http://highlandlakes.net/ | The Highland Lakes of the Texas Hill Country . . . . . .consists of 6 lakes along the Colorado River starting 85 miles northwest of Austin and ending in Austin . The lakes are Lake Buchanan , Inks Lake , Lake LBJ , Lake Marble Falls , Lake Travis and Lake Austin . These lakes are very popular with boaters and fishermen as well as campers and tourists . This is also a very popular retirement area . There are services at all of the lakes . Lake Buchanan Lake Buchanan is the largest of the first four Highland Lakes in Central Texas with a length of 30 miles and a width at the widest point of just under 5 miles and has a shoreline of 124 miles . When it was built , Buchanan Dam was considered to be the longest multiple - arch dam in the U.S. with a length of just over two miles . Inks Lake Inks Lake was formed in 1938 when contruction on the Inks Dam was completed by the Lower Colorado River Authority ( LCRA ) . With a length of 4.2 miles and a width of 3,000 feet , Inks Lake is the shortest of the first four lakes but is also one of the prettiest . Lake LBJ Lake LBJ is very popular for boating because of the normally constant level water . People living along the lake have permanent boat docks that do not have to rise and fall with lake levels like on most other lakes . A lot of the lake rental houses have boat docks and some of the resorts have boat docks for docking your boats . There are also marinas for docking your boats Lake Marble Falls Lake Marble Falls is the 4th lake in the Highland Lakes string of lakes on the Colorado River in the central Texas Hill Country . Lake Marble Falls is popular for boating , and waterskiing . It is 5.75 miles long and 1,080 feet wide in the widest area . . Lake Travis Starting at Austin , Lake Travis winds its way northwest through the central Texas Hill Country for over 60 miles . It is the longest of the 7 Highland Lakes and is very popular for boating . At the widest point the lake is 4.5 miles wide . Lake Austin Lake Austin is the sixth lake down in the chain of Highland Lakes on the Colorado River in central Texas . The lake starts at the Mansfield Dam and ends at the Tom Miller Dam in the city of Austin . Lady Bird Lake ( formerly Town Lake ) is a lake running through Austin that is fed by Lake Austin but not considered one of the Highland Lakes because it was not built by the LCRA ( Lower Colorado River Authority ) .

http://highonandroid.com/android-apps/how-to-flash-img-files-on-rooted-android-with-flashify-app-root-apps/ | Android Apps Root Apps 34 How to Flash IMG Files on Rooted Android with Flashify App ! [ Root Apps ] by Max Lee ยท June 24 , 2014 Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available . Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video . For rooted Android smartphones and tablets , sometimes you may need to flash IMG files ( files ending in .img ) . Whether you are flashing recovery image such as CWM or TWRP recovery or flashing boot image , it โ s always a complicated task involving fastboot command with a computer OR terminal emulator with dd commands . Now , there โ s an easier way to flash img files on any rooted Android device using an app called Flashify . I ran into this problem while trying to flash a modded version of TWRP on my HTC One . I wanted to find an easier way for users to install IMG files instead of using fastboot . Also , there are many times when GooManager app does n โ t work and fails to install TWRP recovery . For those frustrating situations , Flashify app makes flashing image files simple . Step 1 . First , make sure you have a rooted smartphone or tablet device . Step 2 . Next , download the image file you want to install . In this example , I have downloaded a TWRP IMG file to my phone . Step 3 . Install and run the Flashify app Step 4 . Make sure you hit โ Allow โ when Superuser request window pops up when opening the Flashify app . Step 5 . Choose โ Recovery image โ for recovery images like CWM or TWRP . ( You could even flash stock recovery images and unroot btw . ) There โ s other options like โ Boot image โ if you want to flash boot image ( this could work well on older phones like HTC One X with S - On , where you are forced to use fastboot to install boot image . Just flash boot image before installing ROM . ) . Step 6 . Next , choose the file you want to install by choosing โ Choose a file โ . If you are installing standard CWM , TWRP , or Philz , it can even download the image file for you . Step 7 . Choose one of your file explorer apps . If you do n โ t see any , try downloading ES File Explorer app from Play Store . Step 8 . Browse your storage and choose the IMG file you want to flash . Step 9 . Choose โ Yup โ . That โ s it ! After installing the modded version of TWRP I wanted to install , my TWRP recovery has updated wonderfully as shown below . I think there may be many instances where this app may be very useful but certainly in this case , it saved me few minutes of connecting my phone to my computer , running fastboot , and installing this custom modded version of TWRP I wanted .

http://highschooldxd.wikia.com/wiki/Senjutsu | in : Techniques and Abilities Terminology Senjutsu Edit Share Senjutsu Kana ไป่ก Profile Type Technique Abilities Chi Manipulation Aura Detection Wielder ( s ) Kuroka Bikou Koneko Toujou Sun Wukong ( lit . " Sage Arts " ) is a technique used in High School DxD Contents show Summary Edit Rias explained that senjutsu is different from magic and sorcery with the biggest difference is that it stresses the importance of chakra , their aura , the great original power that flows in ones ' spirit , e.i. their life - force and turning it into a constant current . Senjutsu is a power that is similar yet different from the magic of Devils and light power of Angels . Despite it being incapable of matching the direct destructive power of magic or light , senjutsu makes use of the unknown parts hidden in plants , animals , and people . For example , if one learned senjutsu , it is stated that they excel at reading the flow of someone ' s aura , thus letting them grasp their movements from a far distance to a certain degree . Senjutsu , however , has a fatal flaw , as while it lets the user read and handle spirit power , it could also take in the malice and ill will that flows in the world therefore if an amateur used it in an incorrect manner , then the malice will end up corrupting the user . Abilities Senjutsu is the power to control the flow of life energy or ki in living beings . Using it , one can strengthen both their internal and external bodies or even cause vegetation around them to bloom or wither . Senjutsu users are able to sense the ki and auras of others thus letting them track targets from far away distances . Through disrupting the ki of their opponent ' s ki or severing it , it is possible to cause direct damage to their spirit and using this as an attack could result in killing their opponent . As such , there are very few ways to defend against Senjutsu . Senjutsu also has healing capabilities that are effective for either one physical or mental condition , releasing any fatigue and goes as far as to store one ' s lifespan , however , this method requires physical contact . Koneko states that Bouchujutsu ( lit . Bedroom Method ) is the best and fastest method of using the healing abilities of senjutsu , Koneko explains this method is when a woman who specializes in using ki shares her ki with the man and heals their life - force to a greater extent . In Volume 7 , Issei elaborates that Kuroka used senjutsu to tell he was a virgin after licking his cheek , however , it is unknown if she were serious or if she was just teasing him . Senjutsu users also have the power to use Touki , and use it to enhance their strength , speed , and toughness . Another technique that is exclusive to Youkai such as the Nekomata is known as Kasha , which gathers their ki to create spiritual flames whose colors vary from user to user . Learning According to Kuroka , the most basic method of learning Senjutsu is through meditation by concentrating on their state of mind and to quietly release their own ki as well as to sense the natural ki of their surroundings . It is also the best way to develop one ' s skill in Senjutsu . Forms To use Senjutsu , users commonly concentrate their life force around the hand and use it to attack the opponent . The method to attack using Senjutsu may be in the form of hand - to - hand combat or blasting the power towards the opponent .

http://hightimes.com/news/can-new-approach-idaho-legalize-marijuana-in-the-state/ | Legalization Home Marijuana News Legalization Can New Approach Idaho Legalize Marijuana in the State ? Published 4 years ago on December 2 , 2014 By Russ Belville With medical marijuana legal in Canada , Nevada , and Montana and recreational marijuana legal in Oregon and Washington , the state of Idaho is one of three Western states , along with Wyoming and Utah , which have staunchly resisted the growing support for marijuana legality . Now , a new group is adopting the framing tactics of successful legalization campaigns in Oregon and Washington by calling themselves New Approach Idaho . The group โ s first Facebook post dates back to July 19 , but only now are the media beginning to report on their activities . The state โ s largest paper , the Idaho Statesman , reports that โ New Approach Idaho is โฆ focused on allowing medical marijuana , but the long - term goal is full legalization . โ The group consists of some former members of Compassionate Idaho , which lacked enough signatures to get medical marijuana on the ballot in the last election , and Moms for Marijuana International , which tried and failed in The group faces a steep climb in getting Idahoans to recognize the futility of marijuana prohibition and the wisdom of taxing and regulating marijuana instead . The state has the second largest Mormon population in the country , with almost a quarter of Idahoans belonging to the Church of Latter Day Saints , according to a February Gallup poll . However , Mormons are over - represented in the state legislature , comprising more than a third of all lawmakers . The legislature is reliably super - majority Republican and regularly competes with Utah and Wyoming for the title of โ Most Republican State Legislature โ in the United States . Chuck Winder ( a Presbyterian ) is a Republican state senator and sponsor of a 2013 marijuana resolution approved in a 29 - 5 vote by the state senate . In the resolution , Winder explained that โ national pro - marijuana organizations have invested millions to push drug legalization in America , and have targeted Idaho for a โ medical โ [ his sarcasm quotes ] marijuana initiative , โ that legalization has led to โ social , economic and legal chaos , โ and that โ drug legalization laws in neighboring states have already adversely impacted Idaho through Remember , marijuana is already quite illegal for any purpose in Idaho already โ Idaho is one of three states ( Wyoming , New Jersey ) that offers a misdemeanor jail sentence for merely being high in public even without marijuana possession . In Idaho , you can do three months in jail for merely being someplace where marijuana is stored , even if you never saw it or knew it was there . That resolution was 29 state senators going out of their way to insist that it remains that way . However , the people of Idaho may not be so diametrically opposed to marijuana use for any purpose . A 2010 poll found that 74 percent of Idahoans would support medical marijuana use by terminally ill or seriously ill patients . Many of those Idahoans sought out medical marijuana in Oregon . Some , like myself and about a dozen other Idahoans I know , left the state of their birth and their families behind to move to Oregon or Washington to continue medical marijuana treatments for themselves of their loved ones . Others made use of the fact that Oregon is the only medical marijuana state that grants medical marijuana cards to out - of - state residents , traveling to Ontario , Oregon , a town on the Idaho / Oregon border just fifty miles from Boise , for Bill Esbensen [ disclosure : a friend of mine I used to play music with professionally in Idaho ] was the owner / operator of The 45 th Parallel , the dispensary in Ontario that used to service those Idaho medical marijuana refugees . They were legal patients and so long as they possessed and used their medicine while in Oregon , they remained within the law . But , of course , some did not and returned to Idaho with their medicine , only to be busted by Idaho State Police focusing on that fifty - mile stretch of Interstate 84 leading from Ontario to Boise . Somehow , there always seemed to be far more people with broken taillights , expired tags , or minor traffic Esbensen was busted by Oregon cops who secured authentic driver โ s licenses with fake names , used them and faked medical records to get authentic medical marijuana recommendations , and used those to get authentic medical marijuana cards . Esbensen โ s dispensary checked all IDs and cards , having no way of knowing the police were using fakes , and then traded them medical marijuana for a suggested reimbursement for supplies and utilities , all perfectly legal under the medical marijuana law . But the prosecutor painted that as โ sales โ instead of โ reimbursements โ and Esbensen was convicted of felonies in very conservative Eastern Oregon . While Esbensen โ s trial was ongoing , Oregon passed legislation that explicitly made legal all his activities , and legal dispensaries that operated just like his began opening while he sat for over four months in a prison cell . Now Esbensen is one of the leaders of New Approach Idaho , telling the Statesman that Idahoans suffering from medical ailments should n โ t have to worry about being arrested for possession . โ If we regulate it , then much of it will be off the streets , โ Esbensen said . โ Prohibition has failed . โ Good luck , Bill , you โ re going to need it in Idaho . That and a whole lot of money โ you can help them by visiting New Approach Idaho on Facebook | [

http://hikehalfdome.com/half-dome-permits-lottery-now-open/ | โ Sequestration and Yosemite National Park Yosemite โ s Merced River Plan is a Big Meatball to Eat โ Half Dome Permits Lottery Now Open Posted on 03 / 01 / 2013 by Mr Half Dome - Rick Deutsch The much awaited lottery to climb the cables at Half Dome has arrived . But do n โ t worry you have all of March to apply . This L O N G blog has all the essential information . So get your friends to commit to a date , build a profile at recreation . gov . and have fun . Only the trip leader and one alternate must be named . One of them MUST be on the hike . You can swap the slots for other people . In that regard , those are transferable โ but can not be sold . All hikers need to arrive at Sub Dome together and check in with the Ranger there , who will let you go on . He / she will NOT stop you if you have a permit โ even if the weather is bad . You are in the wilderness and you need to assess the risk of Good luck on getting a June permit โ especially a weekend . Most of the 4M visitors to Yosemite want those dates โฆ .I do n โ t ; blame them . You โ ll have the longest days , best waterfalls , less chance of lightning and a smaller crowd . Here is the whole enchilada on the permit process for 2013 . Carpe Diem . โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ - From Yosemite National Park โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ A maximum of 300 hikers will be allowed ( about 225 day hikers and 75 backpackers ) each day on the Half Dome Trail beyond the base of the subdome . Permits will be distributed by lottery via Recreation . gov . We will hold a single preseason lottery with an application period in March and will hold daily lotteries during the hiking season . Backpackers should apply for Half Dome permits with their wilderness permit . On each application , people can apply for up to six permits ( six people ) and for up to seven dates . Applications will only be successful if the number of permits requested is available on at least one of the requested dates . If enough permits are available for more than one of the requested dates , permits will be automatically awarded to the highest priority date , as entered by the applicant . Applicants may apply as the trip leader only once per lottery . Multiple applications with the same trip leader will be removed from the The applicant must specify the name of the trip leader and may specify the name of an alternate . Each person may apply as a trip leader only once per lottery . People applying multiple times as trip leader will have all their lottery applications canceled . Permits will only be valid if the trip leader and / or alternate specified on the permit is part of the group using the permits . The group with trip leader or alternate must be present together at the base of the subdome , where rangers will check for permits . The names Preseason Lottery Two hundred and twenty - five permits for each day will be available through a preseason lottery . The application period for this lottery will be from March 1 , 2013 to March 31 , 2013 . Applicants will receive an email with lottery results on April 15 ( or can get results online or by calling Recreation . gov ) . We are planning on the Half Dome cables being up May 24 , 2013 through October 14 , 2013 , but these dates could change based on conditions . ( You can view graphs that show how many Half Dome permit applications were submitted for each day during the 2012 Half Dome season . ) Daily Lottery Approximately 50 permits will be available each day by lottery during the hiking season . These permits will be available based on the estimated rate of under - use and cancellation of permits ( the exact number may change through the summer ) . The daily lotteries will have an application period two days prior to the hiking date with a notification late that night . ( So , to hike on Saturday , you would apply on Thursday and receive an email notification of results late on Thursday night . Results will also be available online , or by Daily Lottery Success Rate : For mid - June through August , 2012 , an average of 86 permits were available each day via the daily lottery . About 21 % of lottery applications were successful , on average . Beginning early September , a larger number of permits were available during weekdays ( due to fewer initial applications in the spring lottery ) , providing a much better chance of success . September weekends remained busy with fewer permits available , resulting in a 20 - 30 % success rate . How to Apply for a Permit To apply for a permit , visit Recreation . gov or call 877 / 444 - 6777 ( call center is open from 7 am to 9 pm Pacific time ; online requests can be made any time during a lottery period ) . Fees Two separate fees are collected . The first fee , which is charged at the time you submit an application , is $ 4.50 ( online ) or $ 6.50 ( by phone ) . This non - refundable fee , which is per application ( not per person ) , is charged by Recreation . gov for the costs of processing your permit application . The second fee is $ 8 per person and is charged only when you receive a permit . ( This fee also applies to wilderness permit holders . ) This fee pays for park rangers checking for Half Dome permits and providing Half Dome visitors with hiking and safety information . The $ 8 fee is fully refundable if you cancel your permit more than two days before the hiking date specified on your permit or if the cables are not up on the date for which your permit is valid .

Around Town Bishop got its start as an agricultural community , providing meat and produce to the prospectors and miners attracted by the ore deposits in the Eastern Sierra and western Nevada . In the early 1900 โ s the City of Los Angeles started acquiring water right and property in the Owens Valley to provide water for its rapidly expanding population . By 1928 the City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power own 90 percent of the water and much of the valley floor , severely limiting the amount of private land available for development and population growth . Today tourism , recreation and government are among the mainstays of the Bishop economy . Visitors flock to Bishop during the summer to enjoy the great hiking , climbing , biking and fishing . The steady stream of tourists helps support a good selection of restaurants along with a range of accommodations Many of the town โ s hotels , motels and restaurants are located along Main Street / Highway 395 , making it easy to walk to dinner or stroll along the town โ s streets in the late afternoon after spending the day in the mountains . One of my favorite stops in town is the Mountain Light Gallery at 106 S . Main Street . The gallery showcases the best images of Galen Rowell , a renown wilderness photographer and climber , tragically killed in an airplane crash in 2002 . His images focus on the High Sierra and Eastern Sierra as well as locations around the world . Another interesting spot near town is the 11 - acres Laws Railroad Museum at the site of the former Laws Railroad Station , which ceased operation in 1959 . By the time the railroad shutdown the small town around the station had disappeared . In the intervening years the museum has moved to the site and preserved historic building from around the area doomed for destruction , recreating the small village . Each type of building houses a collection of related area artifacts . There is also a rail yard , restored trains , an old turn table and extensive mining exhibits . Reach the museum by taking Highway 6 north for 4.5 To the east of Bishop is the Owens River . From the south end of town take any number of roads heading east for about two miles to reach the river , which is stocked with trout . Favorite activities along the river include fishing , birding , wildlife viewing and photography . Dirt roads paralleling the river provide fishing access . Talk to the people at the Bishop Visitor Center for more information . Nearby Attractions When you are looking for an easy day or a break from hiking in the Sierras , a trip to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine forest is a great option . Bristlecone Pines are among the oldest living trees on earth . Two bristlecone pine groves , the Shulman Grove and the Patriarch Grove , are located high atop the White Mountains , 15 miles to the east of Bishop . Four hiking trails ranging from 0.25 miles to 4.2 miles traverse these amazing groves , taking you past bristlecone pines of all shapes , sizes and ages , some over Schulman Grove and the Patriarch Grove There is quite a bit to see and do around Mammoth Lakes , located 36.5 miles north of Bishop . The Lakes Basin is a great place to fish , canoe and kayak , picnic or just laze the day away beside one of the many lakes . A visit to Devil โ s Postpile National Monument and Rainbow Falls is another great option . The Monument preserves a unique geological formation formed less than 100,000 years ago when cooling lava flows cracked into multi - sided vertical basalt columns .

http://hillalaw.com/can-get-garnished-funds-back-filing-bankruptcy/ | Can I Get Garnished Funds Back After Filing Bankruptcy Funds Garnished Prior to Filing Bankruptcy May be Recoverable Get Garnished Funds Back if Filing Within 90 Days of Filing Funds garnished by creditors from your paycheck bank account or State of Michigan tax refund must generally be returned to you if you file within 90 days of the garnishment so long as certain circumstances are met When Can I Get Garnished Funds Back After Filing Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Funds garnished prior to a bankruptcy filing must be returned to you if they meet the definition of what is called an avoidable preference under the US Bankruptcy Code A preference is a windfall payment to a creditor whether you made it voluntarily or involuntarily which results in that creditor receiving more than they would have received in a Chapter 7 asset liquidation if there were to have been one most Chapter 7 bankruptcies do not result in any asset being liquidated A creditor may not be preferred above other similarly types of creditors unsecured secured and so forth If any unsecured no collateral attached to the debt credit cards medical debts personal loans etc is to receive anything from a bankruptcy case all unsecured creditors must get the same amount This is why you should not repay personal loans to your grandmother or brotherinlaw before filing the Chapter 7 Trustee will sue them to get the funds back in order to redistribute them to your other creditors What Is a Preference A garnishment preference must be returned to you as opposed to a Chapter 7 Trustee if it meets these conditions 600 or more total taken within the 90 days prior to filing and you were able to and did list and exempt the garnished funds in your bankruptcy petition schedules and the Chapter 7 Trustee does not attempt to avoid undo the transfer his or herself Thus if only 599 in total was taken from your paycheck or bank account you will not be able to get the funds back If the funds were taken 100 days prior to filing you will not be able to get them back You can only retrieve from a garnishing creditor the amount of money garnished within the 90 day preference period furthermore so if even more money was garnished prior to the 90day period you will not get that portion back Generally creditors will return the funds upon demand by your attorney but if not a motion for contempt or adversary proceeding lawsuit may be required to force them to comply with the law If such a step is required you will certainly be glad that you hired an experienced bankruptcy att orney for your bankruptcy rather than attempting to save a few bucks by going it alone without legal representation Get Garnished Funds Back State of Michigan Tax Refund Garnishment When the funds garnished were taken from your State of Michigan tax refund a further note is required Some creditors law firms in southeast Michigan sometimes take the position that if they obtained their writ of garnishment and placed their lien on your state tax refund prior to 90 days before your bankruptcy filing they do not need to return the funds even if the funds were taken from your refund within the 90 day preference period There is caselaw from the Bankruptcy Court of the Eastern District of Michigan which includes Detroit Ann Arbor Flint Saginaw and other cities in eastern Michigan which supports this position although the individual argument is specific to your particular facts The bottomline with regard to State of Michigan tax refund garnishment which is an extremely common form of garnishment is that if you receive a notice of garnishment and are considering filing for bankruptcy to deal with it you will want to work hard to get your case filed before you are further out than 91 days from the date the garnishment notice was sent to you if you want to make sure not to A lose your money to begin with and B get it back if it is Filing Bankruptcy to Get Garnished Funds Back The Bottom Line The bottom line is that filing a bankruptcy will stop a garnishment from continuing or from ever occurring But if you actually want to get garnished funds back after they have already been taken time is of the essence and hiring an experienced bankruptcy lawyer is crucial Do not wait or think too long about it before scheduling an initial consultation to explore your options Do not drag your feet gathering the large amount of required documentation for your lawyer once you do hire one Think fast file fast and you can stop the bleeding If you are a Michigan resident and would like to explore your options for a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy with an experienced Michigan bankruptcy attorney please contact us at 866

http://hindunity.blogspot.com/2008/01/decline-of-hindu-population-in-india.html | Tuesday , January 29 , 2008 The decline of Hindu Population in India Indian Census and Muslim population growth by Vinod Kumar I , personally , was not at all surprised ; alarmed , yes - - but surprised - - no , by the " revelations " of the Census 2001 . The Muslim population growth in India at one and half times the rate of Hindu population growth rate is no " revelation " and given the Hindu mindset and priorities neither is the decline in the rate of growth of Hindu population . . The broad outlines have been there for centuries for anyone to see , if only one was willing to face the reality . In broad terms , the Muslim population in India has been growing in geometrical progression vis - ร - vis Hindus who have been growing in arithmetical progression . And with the improvement of educational and economic level of the Hindus , the disparity has become even more pronounced . To put it in broader perspective , Muslim population has steadily grown from 13 % in 1800 to 16 % in 1850 to 20 % in 1900 to 25 % in 1947 and anywhere between 30 to 33 % today taking into account the geographical area of pre - partitioned The high rate of Muslim population is not unique to India alone . Barring the isolated case of Indonesia , Muslim population growth outpaces almost every other group in just about any country in the world . Almost ten years ago , I had analyzed the 1961 and 1991 census . The growth disparity even in the two were almost identical to one between the 1991 and 2001 . Between 1961 and 1991 Muslim population had grown by 133.66 % as compared to Hindu growth of 89.24 % - - the Muslim population growth being 150 % of the Hindu population growth . To bring it up to date - - Between 1961 and 2001 , in absolute numbers , the Hindu population has grown from 366 million to 827 million - a growth of 126 % while the Muslim population in the same period grew from 47 million to 138 million - - a growth of 193 per cent . The Muslim population growth was consistent at about 50 per cent higher than the Hindu population . What is more alarming is that Hindu population growth rate has declined from 25 % in the previous decades to about 20 % in the So of the striking features of Muslim population are : The lowest growth rates of Muslim , while still higher than that of the Hindus , are in the south . Tamil Nadu recording the lowest with 13.7 per cent followed by Kerala ( 15.9 ) , Andhra Pradesh ( 17.9 ) and Karnataka ( 23 ) while the largest Muslim population growth has come from what are border states of Assam , Meghalaya , West Bengal , UP , Bihar , Jharkhand , Rajasthan and J&K . Even more alarming is the fact that the percentage of population in the age group of 0 - 6 years was maximum among Muslims at 18.7 per cent as compared to 15.6 % among the Hindus and 15.9 % the national average . With further declining population growth rate among the Hindus , the percentage rate of Muslim children in the lower age bracket is only likely to go up . This is a significant 20 % above the rate among the Hindus . The Muslim population percentage in the age group 0 - 6 is 15.8 % as compared This is indication of the shape of population mix in the future . With higher rate of Muslim population growth it will only increase . Some have put forward the argument that the Muslims being minority feel threatened and hence they need to increase in numbers , holds no water . Muslim population growth in India has been actually slightly less than in Pakistan where no threat to Muslims exist . Between 1961 and 1998 , its population ( 96.28 % Muslim ) grew from 43 million to 132 million - a growth of 207 per cent - - at the annual growth rate of 3.092 % . The annual growth of Muslim population in India between 1961 and 2001 has been 2.7367 % . High Muslim population growth is in fact a part of a greater global plan to make Islam the dominant religion in the world by sheer demographics . In all fairness to Muslims , their religious leaders and most rank and file are quite open about why the Muslims want to increase their population at a faster rate . As many Muslim leaders have pointed out they are not interested in " quality of life " - - they are interested in " the quantity of the Muslim population " . In the aftermath of Census release when one Muslim leader This strategy has paid off . Muslim population growth , specially in North Africa , has filled the vacuum of declining birth rates in Europe . Demographers for several years now have been predicting that at the latest by the end of this century , Muslims will outnumber non - Muslims in Europe and it will become an extension of Arabia . Some have even called it Eurabia . Their strategy is simple - - take over the world by demographics . Political pundits of " secular hue " in India lost no time in linking the high rate of Muslim population growth to Muslim backwardness - - both economic and educational ; and if not directly so , at least by implication that it is the fault of India - - read Hindu - - government that the Muslims of India are backward . Muslim backwardness , though not a subject of this paper is not unique to India . Muslim backwardness , both economic and educational , as studies have shown is prevalent in the UK and Europe also . The myth of linking high population growth with lack of education has been amply demolished by the census itself . Muslim literacy of 59.1 % in India is really not that much lower than those of the Hindus at 65.1 % and in some states , it is even higher than those of Hindus . Even in those states , the Muslim population growth is still higher than those of the Hindus . For example in Kerala , the Muslim literacy rate is 90 per cent and still their growth rate is 16 per cent in comparison to state population growth of 9.4 per cent . Similar is the situation in many states like Maharashtra , Gujarat and some others . An impression is created in the media that the Muslims in India are victims of discrimination by the Hindus . No political commentator has bothered to inform the people that literacy rate of Muslims ( 59.1 % ) in India is considerably higher than those of Muslims in Pakistan at 43.92 % ( 1998 Census ) . Now the question arises what are long term implications of growing percentage of Muslim population for the Hindus ? Many secularists like to downplay what it means in the future specially since the highest population growth rates have come from the border states . The growth of Muslim population can not be seen in isolation . It has to be looked upon in conjunction with exploding Muslim population in Pakistan and Bangladesh . Mass migration of Muslim population to India from Pakistan and Bangladesh in the future can not be ruled out . . Already 10 - 30 million - - accurate figures are hard to come by - - Muslims from Bangladesh over the decades have settled in various parts of India . This will only worsen the situation in border states which already have a higher percentage and growth rate of Muslim There is no better guide for the future than the past . What has happened in the past ? As a result of Muslim invasions from the West and northwest , areas lying on way of Muslim invaders and long occupation and mass conversions of the Hindus to Islam at the point of the sword , the Hindu states of Baluchistan , NW Frontier , Punjab and Sindh became Muslim majority states . Afghanistan became completely Islamic . Bengal on the East also became predominantly Islamic - - for reasons not subject of this paper . The net result was that Islamized areas adopted Alien culture and turned hostile to national Hindu ethos and culture - - ultimately ending up as separate Islamic states of Pakistan and Bangladesh . The fear expressed by some Hindu groups on the exploding Muslim population in India are not misplaced . Similar future for areas that become high Muslim dominated areas can not be ruled out . There is already a secessionist insurgency going on the in only Muslim majority state of Jammu and Kashmir where almost all the non - Muslims have been expelled . To claim Pakistan is fomenting trouble is to state only half the truth . The insurgency has much support from the local Muslim population . What can India do ? The results of Islamization are evident from looking at what Afghanistan , Pakistan and Bangladesh are today . If India and the Hindus do not want to go the same route , the immediate things India should do prevent exploding Muslim population are : - Without any further delay implement Uniform Civil Code for all religions across India . - Implement and enforce strict birth control measures . - Strict border control to stop any illegal immigration of Muslims from Bangladesh and eventually from Pakistan . - Abolish article 370 and make the State of J&K open to all Indians . These are the preliminary steps that should be taken immediately . And above all , propagation of hate against other religions in the name of religion should be made a crime . Any " romantic " and " sentimental " ideas regarding reunification of India , Pakistan and Bangladesh should be summarily dismissed . Such action would result in Islamization of India within the next few decades . If India wants to preserve its culture , ethos and integrity , these are the minimum first steps that should be taken immediately . Publication of Census 2001 is a timely reminder of the Muslim population explosion . Hindus can afford to ignore it only at the peril of survival of their own civilization . Kashmir Hearld Posted by Hindustani at 8 : 46 AM 20 comments : Anonymous said . . . People like Vinod Kumar caused the land of India to be separated by dividing the Indian population into religious numbers . " Hindus can afford to ignore it only at the peril of survival of their own civilization . " what this statement means is that Hindus should not tolerate their neighbor Muslims and should go into a civil war . That really is remarkably a strong statement . But this should not occur because India is a multi cultural state and has been tolerating other faiths for centuries . And my last point is that Islam was not forced August 11 , 2008 at 6 : 12 AM kesariya said . . . Jai Shree Ram vinod jee , Aapke vicharo se poori tarah sehmati rakhta hoon .

October 8 , 2008 at 5 : 18 AM anand , brij You have rightly pointed the alarming situation of hinduism in the country . . . Hinduism is under threat from growing muslim population and at the same covert conversion into christianity by the christian missionariess . . . we need to raise our voice against such incindents , before india become another partition . . March 3 , 2009 at 10 : 25 PM nischay This comment has been removed by the author . April 1 , 2009 at 3 : 08 AM tswowner Mr .

The HINDUISM & the Hindu people are Polite , they will give room to other religion also . The Hindus are peace Loving human beings .When the partition of pakistan took place , lakhs together hindus were slaughtered and lakhs together became homeless . Now the so called Pakistan and bangladesh became an Islam country & lakhs of Hindus living in those countries do not have freedom as India has given to the minor community . In India any individual pertaining to the minor community can become a president , prime minister or a CM , whereas we can not see a hindu name in Pakistan , bangladesh ' s judiciory or politics or bureaucracy .

http://hipaa.bsd.uchicago.edu/law_enforce.html | GUIDANCE ( Nov . 26 , 2007 ) LAW ENFORCEMENT ACCESS TO PATIENTS AND PATIENT INFORMATION Patient Information Patient information means all information about the patient , including name , medical record number , condition , sex , age , physician name , diagnosis , medical unit , and other treatment information ( " PHI " ) . The fact that a patient is in the medical center is PHI . Procedures City , State or Federal Law Enforcement may seek access to a patient or access to patient information . Before providing access , follow these steps : 1 . Verify the Identity of the Police Officer . If law enforcement appears in person , verify the officer ' s name , badge number or other agency identification , credentials or proof of government status . If you receive a request from a law enforcement officer or agency in writing , verify that the request is on the appropriate letterhead . 2 . Identify What Law Enforcement Wants and the Purpose For the Request . Identify the reason that the police officer is requesting the information . 3 . Provide Access Only as Follows - - and Only Provide the Minimum Amount of Information Necessary for the Purpose . Access to Patients General Statement Physician approval : Access to the patient is subject to the physician ' s opinion that such access would not impede the patient ' s care . Patient approval : Upon physician approval , a healthcare provider will ask the patient whether he / she wants to speak to the police . The patient is not required to speak to police , and UCMC will respect the patient ' s wishes . This applies even if the patient is an alleged perpetrator of a crime . Note : Mental health , HIV / AIDS , and genetic information may not be disclosed without the written consent of the patient or his / her legal representative . Exception : If a patient wants to talk to the police but the physician believes his / her medical condition could be affected , alert the patient of the physician ' s concerns but allow the access . Access to Health Care Information , Both Oral and Written ( i.e. talking to providers ) General Statement : A healthcare provider may share patient information with police with the consent of the patient or the patient ' s legal representative ( for example , the parent , spouse , child , or guardian ) . Document the patient ' s consent and the information provided in the patient ' s medical record . In addition , there are occasions when the law permits or requires you to share patient information with law enforcement . Mental Health , HIV / AIDS , and genetic information may not be disclosed without the written consent of the patient or patient ' s legal representative . Directory Information : You may provide " directory information " to law enforcement personnel if they inquire whether a patient is an inpatient . You may call the UCMC operator at 2 - 1000 and ask if the person is a patient . If the person is a patient , you may disclose the fact that the person is a patient . Note that if an inpatient has opted out of the inpatient directory , the operator would have no information ; however it does not necessarily mean the patient is not here . Crime Committed On The Medical Center ' s Property : If a crime has occurred on the Medical Center ' s property , you may share patient information , but only to the extent necessary for the investigation . Crime Committed Off The Medical Center ' s Property : If the patient is a victim of a crime at a location other than the UCMC , then the patient ' s information may be shared upon the patient ' s permission . If the patient ' s permission is not obtainable , then upon written confirmation that the patient information is needed immediately by law enforcement , a healthcare provider may provide the patient information needed to meet the officer ' s needs . The healthcare provider must document in the medical record the following elements : The healthcare provider can not obtain the patient ' s consent because of incapacity or other emergency circumstances ; and The officer represents that the patient information is needed to determine whether a violation of law by a person other than the victim has occurred and information is not intended to be used against the victim ; and The officer represents that immediate law enforcement activity that depends on the disclosure would be materially and adversely affected by waiting until the patient is capable of giving consent ; and Disclosure is determined by professional judgment to be in the best interest of the patient . The Verification of Law Enforcement ' s Immediate Need of Information About a Patient Victim form can be used to document this information , but it is acceptable to document each of these four elements in the patient ' s medical record . Alleged Perpetrator of a Crime : If law enforcement is seeking the information of a patient who is an alleged perpetrator of a crime , patient information may be shared if permitted by the patient and only the amount necessary for the investigation . Alternatively , patient information may be shared if the officer completes the Law Enforcement Official ' s Request for Protected Health Information DCFS and Its Delegates : Upon verification by an officer that he / she has been delegated the investigation authority by DCFS , patient information may be disclosed in response to questions that are related to the investigation . Verification can be made by either receipt of a DCFS assignment form showing the officer requesting the information has investigation authority , by the officer completing the Verification of Law Enforcement ' s Immediate Need of Information About a Patient Victim form , or Social Services validation of the delegation of the authority . See below for specific procedures . Witness to a Crime : If a patient informs you that he / she is a witness to a crime , tell the patient we are going to notify the University of Chicago Police Department , and ask the patient if they would like to file a report or make a statement to the UCPD . Patient information is only given to the extent the patient consents . Court Order : You may provide patient information in response to a valid court order after receiving advice and direction from the Office of Legal Affairs Sexual Assault : A sexual assault survivor ' s kit may not be disclosed unless : An adult sexual assault survivor or a minor sexual assault survivor 13 years of age or older provides written consent . Upon the written request of the parent , guardian , investigating law enforcement officer or DCFS for a minor sexual assault survivor under the age of 13 . Reporting Obligations : UCMC must report the following facts - - these reports are required by municipal and / or state laws and the reporting requirements are set forth in Administrative Policy 02 - 04 . The policy also identifies who may report this information . An injury by a patient who is a victim of or during the commission of a crime or an injury resulting from a firearm or object used as a weapon . A patient ' s blood alcohol content obtained as part of the patient ' s medical care for injuries resulting from a motor vehicle accident should be disclosed upon police request . Any of the following injuries sustained by a patient : Injury resulting from animal or human bite or from poisoning ; Injury on public property ; Injury involving a moving motor vehicle ; Injury of any cause where it is evident that death will probably ensue as a direct result thereof , or when death has resulted . Reminder Note : If a patient comes in under law enforcement authority , law enforcement is responsible for continuous monitoring of the patient . While law enforcement may be exposed to patient information while monitoring the patient , no additional patient information should be given unless it falls within one of the areas listed above . If you have any questions , call the Administrator on Call ( HOA ) at 7500 # . PROCEDURES FOR DCFS REPRESENTATIVE ACCESS TO INFORMATION 1 . The social worker coordinating child protective services for a specific patient in Comer Hospital will alert the security desk that the Chicago Police will be coming to investigate allegations of child abuse . 2 . The Chicago Police will provide the Security Officer in Comer with a form entitled Law Enforcement Official ' s Request for Protected Health Information . " If the police arrive without a form after hours , the Security Officer shall give the police officer / detective a blank form . If the police officer / detective does not have the required form and refuses to complete a blank form , but has the name of the assigned social worker and the name and date of birth of the patient , UCMC Security Services shall page that social worker . If the police officer / detective does not know the name of the assigned social worker or if it is after hours , Security Services shall page the on - call pediatric Social Worker at pager 6807 , or 3 . Once contacted , the social worker , in concert with Security Services , will coordinate the police officer / detective ' s site visit . In particular , Security Services or the social worker will call the floor to state that a police officer / detective is coming up to floor and floor staff can direct the police officer / detective to the appropriate room . 4 . The social worker shall document the following in the progress notes : ( 1 ) The name and badge number of the police officer / detective ; ( 2 ) The fact that the police officer / detective came in response to UCMC ' s report to DCFS ; and ( 3 ) The identity of the person with whom the police officer / detective met .

Based on his explicit request , am I allowed to access his medical records ? How does an adolescent ( 12 - 17 years ) authorize granting proxy access to a Parent / Guardian ? When is it OK to share PHI ? For additional FAQs , related to HIPAA please refer to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services HIPAA Frequently Asked Questions What is HIPAA ? The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ( HIPAA ) was passed to protect the confidential medical and billing records of our patients . A particularly important element of HIPAA regulation pertains to patients ' rights related to access and control of their medical information . We count on all members of the UCSF entity to incorporate the HIPAA rules into their daily activities . Our patients have a right to privacy . We are committed to complying with HIPAA , not only because it is the law , but also because we value our patients and their privacy . UCSF Privacy and Confidentiality Handbook back to top What is the Privacy Office and what do they do ? The Privacy Office is responsible for monitoring compliance with the federal and state privacy laws and regulations . The Privacy Office is responsible for orchestrating departmental responses in the event of a breach of patient privacy . Additionally , the Privacy Office provides consultation on requests for all privacy related questions . The Privacy Office tracks and analyzes all privacy activities , and develops training and risk mitigation programs for the entire UCSF enterprise . back to top There has been a breach of patient privacy in my department . What do I do ? If the personally identifiable information was on a stolen device ( computer or PDA , for example ) , immediately contact UCSF Campus Police ( 415 - 476 - 1414 ) to report the theft , and if personal health information is involved , contact the Privacy Office ( 415 - 353 - 2750 ) . The UCSF Campus Police will contact ITS . For disclosures not involving a stolen device , contact the Privacy Office immediately . In every circumstance , you will need to provide the following information : Date and time the breach was discovered Name and contact information of the person who discovered the breach The specific information disclosed The number of individuals who had their information disclosed How the breach happened Actions taken following detection The department contact for follow - up The department is responsible , under the direction of the Privacy Office , for the follow - up including , but not limited to , the investigation , patient notification and follow - up , determining and implementing corrective actions and changes in process , following - up with third party vendors , retraining personnel , and documentation , as needed . Please note that only the Privacy Office can determine if notification is required . Privacy breaches need to be reported to the Privacy Office as soon as they are discovered , even if the person who discovered the breach was not involved . Any delay in reporting to the UCSF privacy office delays UCSF reporting to the state and to patients . Delayed reporting to the state and patients beyond the 5 day timeframe exposes you and the University to financial liability in the way of administrative fines and penalties . You will not be penalized for reporting breaches , nor does the reporting of a breach necessarily implicate you in any way . How do I know what HIPAA and privacy training should be provided to the people in my department ? Refer to the Education and Training section of the Privacy Office website . Remember , all members of a department need to have some type of training , including volunteers , and all training must be documented . The Department is responsible for ensuring its staff members are properly trained , and for maintaining documentation of such . Training includes : I want to provide a flyer to a specific patient population , produced by an outside organization ( i.e. , American Heart Association ) . May I do this ? You can post the flyer in the clinic waiting room for interested patients . Additionally , any mass mailings that go out to patients for fundraising purposes must follow the established UCSF process and be approved by UDAR as there are certain restrictions and required inclusions . See the Fundraising section for details . Any use of the UCSF logo associated with another organization needs to be approved by University Relations ( 415 - 476 - 8252 ) . How much personal information may be released to family members over the phone ? According to the Notice of Privacy Practices , you may release personal information to anyone that the patient has identified as the recipient of such information . Refer all others to the contact person the patient designates . In all other cases , or if no contact person exists , you are not authorized to release any information other than whether or not the patient is in the hospital and his or her general condition ( e.g. , good , fair , critical ) . If the patient is hospitalized , certain limited information can be found in the hospital directory so that family , friends , What is my responsibility related to the vendors that I bring into the Medical Center ? Before allowing vendors access to the Medical Center , they must check in with Material Services . Once this is complete , they should be wearing a Visitor ID at all times while in the Medical Center . Do not leave vendors alone in areas with PHI that they do not need to have access to ( i.e. , clinic work areas ) . It is recommended that they wait in the waiting room or in a designated conference room . My patient does not answer the phone directly . How can I leave a HIPAA compliant message with someone else or a voice mail ? Leave the minimum amount of information needed : your name , phone number and that you are from UCSF . A recommended best practice would be to obtain the patients preference for follow up or appointment communication at the initial point of contact . My patient is now on another unit . May I access their record ? You may access the patient โ s record only if you have a legitimate need to do so ( for treatment , payment , or health care operations ) . Otherwise , you should not access the record . . May I email my patient related to his or her care ? As long as the patient has not requested otherwise , you may do so but only by following the secure email guidelines on the IT Security page . Best practice includes making sure the patient prefers this form of communication and understands the risks associated with it . How much information may I give an Insurance company ? According to Notice of Privacy Practice , we may use and disclose medical information for the purpose of obtaining payment . Best practice is to only provide want is needed for this purpose . For example , lab values are not required for billing purposes , and therefore should not be provided to the insurance company . However , if the patient has submitted an Authorization allowing the use and disclosure of his or her information to the insurance company , the minimum necessary standard would no longer apply . How much information may I give a Skilled Nursing Facility ( SNF ) or Home Health Agency ( HHA ) ? If the patient is being referred to either of these types of facilities , then you have a patient care need to disclose PHI . You should provide all PHI that you feel they need to know to provide continuity of safe patient care . How much information may I give to a police officer ? You may disclose protected health information for law enforcement purposes , although you must first verify the identity and authority of the officer requesting the information . In addition , you should limit the PHI released to only the minimum required . What information may be faxed ? Always send the minimum information necessary . Best practice is to confirm correct fax number prior to sending , include a cover letter with a confidentiality statement and to ensure receipt via phone call . May I mail my patient ' s information ? Yes , as long as the patient has not requested otherwise , and you have a patient care need to do so . Best practice is to mail only the minimum required , to confirm the correct address with the patient prior to sending , to seal the envelope or package well , and to make sure it does not have any identifying information on the outside besides UCSF . My patient ' s insurance company is requesting information in relations to a Worker ' s Compensation claim . What information may I provide ? You are authorized to disclose PHI in order to comply with Worker โ s Compensation law . In fact , HIPAA generally allows for the disclosure of patient information to comply with any judicial or administrative proceeding in response to a court order , subpoena , or other legal process . Someone wants to come into a clinical area and observe . How can I make this happen ? Guidelines have been developed by HR , Risk , and Privacy to ensure the consistent and appropriate handling of visitors and observers . Various forms , screenings , badges , and / or orientations may be required based on the number of days of observation , the type of observation , and / or whether the observer will interact with patients . Use the matrix at http : / / hr / forms / compliance . pdf to determine what the compliance requirements are in your particular case . Links to additional forms and information can be found at Visitors and Observers page . Questions and requests for guidance should be directed to Privacy , Risk , Occupational Health , and / or Human Resources . We use a sign - in sheet for our patients . Is that okay ? It is OK , however reasonable safeguards and the minimum necessary standard must be met . For example , if using a patient sign - in sheet , do not request any medical information not required for sign - in . Also , consider a pull - off label system or a thick black marker to cross off names as patients are called in for their appointments , such that patient names do not accumulate throughout the day for subsequent patients to view . What information may be listed on a dry erase whiteboards ? The use of whiteboards is allowed as long as reasonable safeguards are implemented , as appropriate . Listing only last name and first initial in the department is adequate , whereas full first and last name are permitted for safety reasons in the operating room . The important considerations are whether the board is visible to passers - by and whether it contains PHI . If yes to both , consider whether there are other ways that the protected data ( including demographic data ) could be " reasonably " limited to the minimum necessary to allow the unit to I purchased a new laptop . May I use it for work purposes ? And if so , how do I protect it ? You should avoid using any personal devices for work purposes . If you must use your personal laptop for work purposes , discuss it with your Manager first . If your manager approves , ensure that your computer is encrypted and that it meets all the other requirements of the UCSF Minimum Security Standards ( http : / / tiny . ucsf . edu / mss ) . Guidance on encrypting your laptop can be found here . Guidance on the software you should install is at http : / / software . ucsf . edu . The best practice is to consult with IT before use to ensure proper security through firewalls , passwords , anti - virus software , regular software updates , and more ( contact IT at 415 - 541 - 4100 ) . Always follow best practices , including maintaining physical security of your device at all times , regular encrypted backups of data , storage of only the very minimum necessary patient information , and the permanent deletion of all data and files the moment they are no longer needed . Remember , it is your responsibility to encrypt and I have access to clinical systems and my husband asked that I look up his record to check that his physician ' s notes were correctly entered . Based on his explicit request , am I allowed to access his medical records ? No . You are not authorized to directly access the medical records of any individual whose care you are not involved with . Your husband should contact HIMS to exercise his right to request an inspection or copies of his own medical record . How does an adolescent ( 12 - 17 years ) authorize granting proxy access to a Parent / Guardian ? MyChart Proxy Authorization form must be completed prior to MyChart signup . This proxy access is automatically removed once the adolescent patient reaches the age of 18 , and can be revoked at any time . This proxy access does not include access to sensitive services information such as reproductive health and certain mental health and substance use screening and treatments . As certain sections may contain sensitive information , parent / guardian proxy access has limitations which are fully detailed in the MyChart Proxy Authorization form . When is it OK to share PHI ? While it ' s prudent to be cautious about sharing and releasing PHI , it ' s also important to remember that HIPAA allows for the exchange of PHI for purposes of treatment , payment , and operations ( " TPO " ) . The HIPAA Privacy Rule is intended to protect patients ' health information , but not to impede or interfere with patient care or safety . Thus , the Rule permits PHI uses and disclosures as needed to provide quick , effective , and high quality healthcare ; to bill and receive payment for healthcare services ; and to conduct healthcare operations .

http://hiring.monster.com/hr/hr-best-practices/recruiting-hiring-advice/interviewing-candidates/phone-interview-questions.aspx | Home Recruiting & Hiring Advice Interviewing Candidates Ten Tips : Asking the Right Phone Interview Questions Ten Tips : Asking the Right Phone Interview Questions By : Eric Herrenkohl There are many approaches in interview techniques as part of your recruiting strategy . One example is a client of mine who does a great job of regularly interviewing potential salespeople . She has created an A - player mindset in her company - - people know that she is always interested in finding good employees . When a potential employee is referred to her , she often starts the recruiting process with a phone interview . This company is in the home remodeling / kitchen & bath industry and looks for people who have both great sales skills and great design abilities . During that phone screen , she wants to verify : If the person has experience with 20 / 20 ( a software package for designing kitchens and baths ) If the person has a portfolio of their design work that he or she can bring to a face - to - face interview If the individual can communicate well over the phone ( some initial indication of their personal skills ) This is a good process in that it sets a minimum threshold for being considered a โ qualified candidate . โ If someone does not have a track record in design - - including knowing the software package this company uses - - then they are not considered a likely candidate . However , every process can be improved . What additional steps could my client take to screen out weak candidates and identify A - players worth interviewing face to face ? Here are some suggestions : 1 . Before you pick up the phone , first determine your A - Player Profile . Would you know hire better employees ? How so ? What would tell you that an individual you currently employee or that someone you are interviewing is an A - player ? I know this sounds obvious , but you would be surprised at the lack of clarity within companies about the profile of an ideal candidate . If you do n โ t know exactly who you are looking for , you and your team will be slow to agree upon and actively pursue the right people . 2 . As you review resumes , look for overall patterns of accomplishment . The best way to reduce hiring mistakes in an interview is to get a very clear picture of someone โ s overall pattern of accomplishments in their life and career . Then , compare that pattern to your A - Player Profile for the role . Unlike mutual funds , with people past performance is the best indicator of future results . 3 . When asking phone interview questions , start by asking initial screening questions to weed out unqualified people . For example , the company that I described above requires that applicants have certain software expertise and design experience . If you ca n โ t determine this from the resume , ask about these abilities early in a phone screen . If someone does not meet these minimum criteria , they are eliminated and the phone interview is over . A quick note on such criteria : think carefully about whether you are using the right criteria to screen people in or out . For example , if my client found someone with proven sales ability but no design experience , should she take a second look at them ? Maybe so . Only you can determine your screening criteria , but make sure that you are not screening A - players out because they lack industry experience . Industry experience alone does not make someone an A - player . In fact , if you limit your self to If it is very difficult to find people with the basic qualifications for the job you are filling , you might end the phone interview process right there and schedule a face - to - face interview . Alternatively , if you have a number of qualified candidates , create a 30 - 60 minute phone interview system to uncover the pattern of accomplishment or failure that people have exhibited . If you choose the latter option , here are some additional steps to take : 4 . Starting with their most recent role , confirm their dates of employment , including both the month and the year . People often fudge these dates - - you want to verify them . 5 . Role play : For each role , do some interview preparation so you can ask interview questions specifically designed to dig into their accomplishments . The best overall question to ask is : Please tell me briefly about the top accomplishments for which you were personally responsible while employed in this role ? 6 . Keep them talking : Ask job interview questions that keep the candidate talking , such as : How did you do that ? Why so ? Please tell me how you made that happen ? What were the most important steps you took to make that happen ? Such open - ended questions dig beneath a candidate โ s initial , pre - planned answers and programmed responses to find out what he or she really did . 7 . Next , ask a few specific questions ; ask about people โ s professional accomplishments that are tied to your A - Player Profile . If you โ re interviewing someone for a sales representative job , you might ask : How many projects did you sell per year in that role ? What was the average size of the project you sold ? How many other salespeople worked in your division of the company ? Where did you rank among those salespeople in sales volume ? Tell me about one failure that you had during that job ? Who was your direct supervisor ? If I asked him or her for their honest perspective on your strengths and weaknesses , what would he or she likely say ? For a retail store manager job , you might ask : What percentage did your same store sales increase or decrease over the previous year ? What was the average items sold per transaction at your store ? How did that compare with other stores in your company ? Where did your store rank in sales volume as compared to other stores ? What was your biggest failure during this job ? Who was your direct supervisor ? If I asked him or her for their honest perspective on your strengths and weaknesses , what would he or she likely say ? Obviously the questions you ask change depending upon the job , but every such phone interview question should be focused on a specific , measurable result that you know is critical to success in the role . You are looking for people who have real confidence in their answers . Such confidence is demonstrated when someone can tell you in detail how he or she made things happen . People who know what they are doing can describe in detail how they achieved the results in question . People who overstate their accomplishments often answer in generalities . Take a moment to write down the specific accomplishment - oriented questions you should be asking job candidates . 8 . Take verbatim notes : I have found that jotting down the word - for - word responses that people provide during interviews is helpful . When you go back and look at your notes , those verbatim quotes will help you to recall the person โ s strengths and weaknesses . 9 . Score each candidate : Create a scorecard for yourself , particularly if you ' re a solo interviewer . For each characteristic , give a candidate a score of 1 - 4 where 1 is the worst and 4 is the best . Provide candidates with an overall score using the same 1 - 4 scoring system . 10 . Select your finalists : Based on the answers to phone interview questions , select the top candidates for face - to - face interviews . This approach to phone screening gives you a good overview of someone โ s accomplishments in a reasonable timeframe . You will review some of this information in any face - to - face interviews , and dig deeper into other roles they have held . But the most important thing is that by phone screening this way , you weed out weaker candidates and identify the right people to interview in person . As a result , you and your team will spend more time interviewing truly qualified candidates and greatly increase your chances of hiring an A - player .

http://histclo.com/act/work/slave/abol/cou/ac-spa.html | Christian Abolitionist Movement : Spain Figure 1 . - - A Puerto Rican planter , Julio Vizcarrando , became the main figure in the Spanish abolitionist movement . The organized the first meeting of the Sociedad Abolicionista Espaรฑola in Madrid ( 1864 ) . Two other Puertoricans were involved ( JosรฑAcosta and Joaquรญn Sanromรก ) . Spanish liberals ( Emilio Castelar , Juan Valera , Segimundo Moret , Nanuel Vecerra , and Nicolรกs Salmerรณn ) . Vizcarrando proved particularly important because he was so knowledgeable , both about slavery and the United States . He was married to Harriet Brewster of Philadelphia , an accomplished agitator for abolition . Vizcarrando Spanish Slavery Slavery gradually declined in Europe during the Middle Ages , but never entirely sisappeared . In Spain the Moors kept Christian slaves and the Christians Moorizh slaves . They were used as agricultural labor as well as galley slaves . Wars with the Moors resulted in captives and new slaves . Castille was primarily a land power , but Aragon had Mediterranean possessions and galleys continued to be used in the Mediterranean as late as the 16th century . Castille conquered the Canary islands and insladed much of the population ( 15th century ) . Spanish land owners also bought Spanish Colonies The Spanish were the first to implant colonies in the Ameica . First on Hispniols and then Puerto Rico amd Cuba . The slaves were at first Nsative Americans . But a comination of mistreatment and European diseases soon desimated the relatively small Native American populstions of the islands . While the Spanish colonists were decimating Native American populatuions , im Spsin Bartlomew de las Casas was leading a debate over the nature of Native Americans and how they should be treated . As the debsate raged , the colonists began importing captive Africans to enslave . The Native American African Slave Trade The African slave trade is generlly viewed as a European undertaking . In fact both African chiefs and Arabs played major roles . The Arabs were the first to enter the African slave trade . Arabs after their emergence grom the Arabian Peninsula in the 7th century not only moved into Mesopotamia and North Africa , but also dominated the eastern Indin Ocean , Arabs traders gradually established trading posts along the African Indian Ocean ports . Slaves could be sold to the Arab traders operating from Indian Ocean ports . As the powers of the Arabs increased they began American Wars for Independence ( 1800s - 20s ) The diplomatic landscape changed during and after the Napoleonic Wars . One after another , the South American countries became independent republics . The Caribbean islands , except for Haiti , remained in European hands . The most important country here was Brazil with a substanti - slave based economy . This complicated the diplomatic effort creating many new jurisdictions thstv hd to be dealt with , The South American countries did not possess many vessels that prticipted in the slave trade , but they cooperated to vay degrees with the slavers - - espeially Brazil . The large market Ending the Slave Trade ( 1835 ) Spain lost most of its American Empire in the early 19th century . This reduced , but did not end the Spanish interest in the slave trade . It retained Cuba and Puerto Rico in the Caribbean . And Cuba was a particularly valuable colony as a result of the slave - based sugar industry . Spain finally signed a treaty with Britain abolishing the slave trade , granting Britain the the right to search Spanish - flag vessels suspected of slaving , established a Mixed Commissions , authorising that vessels equipped for the slave trade be condemned and broken Cuba and Puerto Rico While Spain officially ended the slave trade ( 1835 ) , slavery continued on the two remaining Spanish colonies in the America - - Cuuba and Puerto Rico . In fact the slzave trade did not end . Slavers continued delivering captive iszlands to both islands . The relatively small Spanish Navy made no serious effort to stop the slvers . And Spanish officials on the two islands commonly turned a blind eye on the traffic . Cuba is the large Caribbean island and has large flat areas ideal for sugar plantations . Not country is more perfectly suited for Troubles on Cuba ( 1854 ) Spanish Catholic Church The failure of Spain to develop an abolitionist movement in the 18th and early - 19th century is in part because of the very traditional Spanish Catholic Church , unlike Protestant churches had played such a limited role in the abolitionist movement . Sociedad Abolicionista Espaรฑola ( 1864 ) Two Caribbeans played a key role in the Spanish abolitiomist movement . One was Cuban - born Rafael Marรญa Lsbra . Second was a Puerto Rican planter , Julio Vizcarrando . They became the main figures in the Spanish abolitionist movement . The organized the first meeting of the Sociedad Abolicionista Espaรฑola in Madrid ( 1864 ) . Two other Puertoricans were involved ( JosรฑAcosta and Joaquรญn Sanromรก ) . Spanish liberals ( Emilio Castelar , Juan Valera , Segimundo Moret , Nanuel Vecerra , and Nicolรกs Salmerรณn ) . Vizcarrando proved particularly important because he was so knowledgeable , Revista Hispano - Americano Vizcarrando helped found a socially oriented journal - - the Revista Hispano - Americano . The first issue carried an impasioned plea for ending the Cuban slave trade as the first step in colonial reforms . Supporters There were Spanish advicates of slavery . This was primarilhy economic . The planters , especially on Cuba , strongly advocated for a continuation of the system . There were also Spainards who has racist attitudes toward blacks , although this current was less pronounced than it had been in Britain and America . A popular journalist , Josรฉ Ferrer de Couto wrote , " the so - called slave trade is . . . the redemtion of slaves and prioners . He and others thought that the slaves were better off working on a Caribbean sugar plantation than in National Discussion Committees organinized in Spanish began asking basic questions about slavery . [ Thomas , p . 781 . ] This showed how the American abd British abolitionist campaigns had made little impact on the Iberian Peninsula . Cortes Debate ( 1865 ) Abolitionist agitation and the national dicussion which resilted enboldened the linerals in the Cortes . A motion for anolition was presented ( May 6 , 1865 ) . Diputado Antonio Marรญa Fabie seconded the motion and delivered an impassioned oration . " The war in the United states is finished and , it being finished , slavery on the whole American continednt can be taken as finished Is it possible to keep . . . this institution in the [ Spanish ] dominions ? I do n ' t think so . . . . . The Government must comply Colonial Commission : Puerto Rican / Cuban Split ( 1866 ) A commission of Puerto Rican and Cuban liberals arrived in Madrid after the Spanish Army had restored order . General Narvรกez allowed them to meet with the Colonies Minister , Alehandro de Castro . The Puerto Rican representaives eventually proposed abolition . The Cubans were shocked . While not defending slavery , the Cubans wanted a more gradual approch aznd adcovated politival power for the criollos as first step . This would be followed by gradual emancipation over 7 years abd compensation to the planters . They discussed an aveage figure of $ 450 per slave . [ Corwin , First Cuban War of Independence ( 1868 - 78 ) . The first major armed action was the War of the Ten Years ( 1868 - 1878 ) . A poorly equipped army of 8,000 Cubans fought a valiant struggle against aell - armed Spanish army which suffered some 80,000 casualties . The revolutionaries which failed to fight a centrally organized campaign finally had to give up with the Pact of the Trench , although General Antonio Maceo issued the protest of Baraguรก . Spanish Revolution of 1868 Unsuspecing Queen Isabella travelled to Spain to sign an alliance with Emperor Napoleon III ( 1808 - 73 ) . Admiral Juan Bautista Topete y Carballo ( 1821 - 85 ) used the occassion to issue a revolutionary proclamation at Cadiz ( September 18 , 1868 ) . Popular uprisings broke out in Madrid and other major cities . Army oligarchs led by Francisco Serrano y Domรญnguez led the Evolution of 1868 . Queen Isabellammediately returned . So did exiled liberal generals . This included Juan Prim y Prats ( 1814 - 70 ) . The two sides massed their Moret ' s Anti - Slavery Act The abolitionist move had an increasing influence on the Spanish public . Mass demonstrations were organized Perhaps 15,000 people demonstrated in Madrid ( 1873 ) . [ Schmidt - Nowara , p . 152 ] Moret ' s anti - slavery law was a compromise approach . It instituted a harsh apprenticeship system as the first step toward freedom for the freed slaves . Full freedom was set for 1886 . Emancipation on Puerto Rico Spain ' s revolutionary process brought emancipation to Puerto Rico ( 1873 ) .

http://histclo.com/essay/war/cwa/recon.html | The American Civil War : Reconstruction Figure 1 . - - This illustration was part of an article about education in Mississippi in " Harper ' s Weekly " ( June 23 , 1866 ) , p . 392 . The Harper ' s caption read , " Primary School for Freedmen , in charge of Mrs . Green , at Vicksburg , Mississippi . " The article describes how racial animosity ( white violence ) impeded the education of blacks . The teacher , Mrs . Green , is one of a few whites in Mississpi who believed that it was advisable to educate blaclks After the Civil War , the Federal Government began a process of Reconstruction . The Federal Government descipte Southern critics , persued a soft peace . Southern soldeiers were allowed to simply return home after afirming loyalty . Lee ' s soldiers after surrender were not even interned . The same was true of Johnston ' s soldiers in North Carolina who surrendered soon after . Blacks had great hopes for the future . White southerners attepted to intoduce a legal system which kept the freed slaves in a state of servitude . Their primary instrument was the Black Codes Soft Peace The Federal Government descipte under Lincoln ' s direction , despite Southern critics , persued a soft peace . Southern soldiers were allowed to simply return home after afirming loyalty . Lee ' s soldiers after surrender were not even interned . The same was true of Johnston ' s soldiers in North Carolina who surrendered soon after . These were the last remaining major Confederate armies . President Lincoln It is not clear how President Lincoln would have conducted Reconstruction after the War . Despite the immenent collapse of the Confederacy , ther was no plan prepred . He made it clear in the Second Innagural that he desired a consilitory poilcy . He gave no hint , however , about his plans for the freed slaves . Or how state governments were to be reconstructed . We do not know to what extent he would have resisted the Black Codes and other measures established in the South to limit black civil rights . We do known that the Social Revolution The whole social structure of the South and an economy based on forced labor was upended by the Civil War . Slaves began running away from the plantations as the Federal armies pushed south . The famed Undergound Railway had reslly only made running away possible in the Bordrr States . Now for the first time freedom was possible for the slavs in the Deep South . And eventually the runaway slaves and the free northern blacks joined the struggle against slavery . They faced brutal reprisals . President Lincoln transform the War from a struggle to maintain the Union The Freeman ' s Bureau Congress established the Freeman ' s Bureau to assist the emancipated slaves after the Civil War ( March 3 , 1865 ) . The Bureau sought to protect the interests of former slaves . The Bureau persued a range of programs in an effort to obtain jobs and provide education as well as basic health services . The Bureau in the next 12 months dispersed $ 17 million to set up 4,000 schools and 100 hospitals and to provide hosing and food . This was a social welfare program unlike any ever attempted by the Federal Government . It also Restoration of Civil Government The former Conderate states , except Texas , by the end of 1865 had complied with the requirements established by President Johnson for restoring civil government . The requirements did not address the civil rights of the emancipated slaves . Black Aspirations Blacks had great hopes for the future . Southeners generally assumed that a victorious Federal Government would resdestribute land to the freed slaves . Congress did in fact past Confiscation Acts ( 1861 and 1862 ) . Sherman ' s orders redistributing land to former slaves ( 1865 ) gave rise to the phrase " Forty acres and a mule " abd further expectations among the former slaves . Black Codes ( 1865 ) White southerners attepted to intoduce a legal system which kept the freed slaves in a state of servitude . Their primary instrument was the Black Codes . The black codes were laws passed by state cauthoirities to define the legal status of emancipated slaves . The Black Codes resstricted the rights of Blacks and limited economic and educatioinal opportunities . Whites in particular refused to enfranchise blacks . The Emancipation Proclamation had freed the slaves in the states that has seceeded , but it did not enfranchise them . Other provisions of the black codes prohibited blackis from sitting on Ku Klux Klan Southern Whittes not only used legal means such as Black Codes to control emancipated blacks , but they turned to extras - legal terrorism as well . Much of this was accomplished through covert vigelantee action through secret soicieties , especisally the Ku Klux Klan . The impetus here was provided by famed Confederate Calvalry commander , Nathan Bedford Forest . The Klan was founded in Tennesee but rapidly expanded throughout the South . White southerners formed a secret paramilitary white supremacist organization , the Ku Klux Klan ( KKK ) . The KKK terrorized blacks with beatings , whippings 1866 Congressional By - election The principal issue in the 1866 Congressional by - election was how the defeated South should be treated . The Republicans advocating punishing the South while President Johnson wanted to treat the South leniently . This probably was received with sympathy by Northeners who lost loved ones in the War . the Republicans benefitted from their role in preserving the Union and continuing sympsthy for President Lincoln who had come to be seen as a martyr . President Johnson was a Democrat who had run with Republican President Lincoln on a Union ticket . He now stumped the country appealong Radical Republicans Radical Republicans in Congress were strengthened by the election of 1866 . They dominated Congress because the states that secceeded were not allowed to resume their Congressional seats . Thus the democrats were a minority . The Reoublicans pursued a policy aimed at protecting southern blacks . Here there were both ethical and political convictions . The Radical Republicans had been the core support for abolition . There were also political concerns . Black sufferage in the South meant suppprt for the Republican Party from southern states . The Radical Republicans were led by Congressman Thaddeus Stevens and Senator Charles Reconstruction Act ( 1867 ) Radical Reoublicans strengthened by the 1866 election passed the Reconstruction Act ( 1867 ) . TYhe Act suuplanted previous acts . It divided the states that had secceeded ( except Tennessee ) into five milkitary districts . Goverernmental authority was placed in the hands of military commanders . President Johnson The differences between Congress and President Johnson intensified ( 1864 - 69 ) . The Republicans victory in the 1866 Congressional by - election enabled the Republicans to impeach the President over the issue of the Tenure of Office Act ( 1867 ) . Congress passed the Act over Johnson ' s veto . The Act prohibited the President from removing presidential appointees which had obtained their offices with the Senate ' s advise and consent - - without Senate approval . The purpose of the Act was to protect Secretary of War Edwin M . Stanton who was quarelling Amending the Constitution The central step taken during Reconstruction , in effect the crown jewels , was the passage of the 13th - 15th amendments . These amaendments abolished slavery and guaranted the civil rights , including the freed slaves right to vote , and ensured access to equal protection of the law . The Emancipation Proclamation ( 1863 ) was an exective order and open to legal chalenge . It was inevitable that once the former Condereate states were readmitted to the Union that slave owners would sue in the Federal courts for the return of their ' property ' . Only President Grant ( 1869 - 77 ) President Grant was more supportive . Grant of course as Union commander was the primary beneficiary of the black troops mutered after the Emamcipation Proclamation . Relief Reviving the Economy Reconstruction State Governments Republicans in the South on the basis of black sufferage were able to gain control of state governments in the South . The Freedmen ' s Bureau and the Union League Clubs helped to get out the black boat . White southerners complasined bitterly of Carpetbaggers and Scalwags . Gradually whites regained control of state government . Here the KKK and white terrorism was a major factor . Only three states ( Florida , Louisana , and South Carolina ) remained under Reconstruction rule by 1876 . The Courts Juries are selected from voter roles . Thus while during the period of Reconstruction the newly freed slves could vote , there wre mixed race juries and the results were mot preordained . Ome of the most sensational trials was that of the kidnappers of 17 - month old Mollie Digby ( June 1870 ) . Little Mollie was the daughter of working - class Irish immigrants . She was kidnapped by two African - American women . The case not only was a criminal trial , but had much wider political connotatioins . It was also covered sensationally by Reversal of Heros and Villans A strange process occurred after the Civil War during Reconstruction which is difficult to fully understand . There was a rapid reversal of the heros and villans . I know of no comparable reversal in American history . Before the War the heros were the abused slaves ( but not freed blacks ) and the villans were the slave masters and overseers . The classic expression of this was of course Hariet Beecher Stowe ' s Uncle Tom ' s Cabin ( 1852 ) . After the War , the freed slaves somehow gradually became the villans . The Confederacy may have lost the War , but the Lost Cause proponents won the ildeolgical debate . [ Lemann ] A milstone event was held on the Gettysburg battlefield - - the 50th anniversary of the monentous battle ( 1913 ) . Both the GAR and UCV veterans participated . Newspapers pictured them shaking hands and exchanging stories . I ' m not sure about the experience of black veterans . They were all hailed as heros . Left out of the Black - White Relations There began in the South during Reconstruction a process of separation between blacks and whites . Before the War , blacks and whites had been in close contact . The institution of slavery demanded close contact . There were also extensive contascts between freed blacks and whites in the ante - bellum South . Freed blcks attended the sane churches as whites . This changed after the war . Blacks began to attend separate churches . [ Ely ] One of the reasoin for thie separation was black enpowerment . Whites felt threatened by blacks to an extent they had Sharecropping Sharecropping is an agricultural system which developed in the Southern states during the Civil War . It was a farm tenancy system in which families worked a farm or section of land in return for a share of the crop rather than wages . Sharecropping replaced the plantation system destroyed by the Civil War . The victorious Federal authorities which occupied the South did not seize plantations , but empancipation meant that the owners no longer had a captive laor force . The former planters , even those activly engged in rebellion , for the most part still had their Land Ownership From an early stage in the Civil War , slaves began fleeing plantations in an effort to reach the advancing Federal lines . These people were as first called contrabands . They were used as workers to support the Federal Army . The Federal armies in the west achieved more success than in Virginia and by the first year of the War had penetrated deep into the Confederacy and soon had thousands of run - away blacks to care for . President Lincoln chnged their status with the Empancupation Proclamation ( 1963 ) . As the fortunes of the Confederacy declined , more and more former slaves fleed the plantations . Maj . Gen . William T . Sherman in part to deal with the huge numbers of freed slaves Arkansas family about 1940 . Lost Cause Critics The Lost Cause historians who for many years dominated the histography of the Civil War painted a dark picture of Reconstruction . Their accounts were filled weith tales of Carpetbaggers and Schalwags . Black elected officials were depicted as ignorant and uncivilized . The Reconstruction state giovernmrnts were described as corrupt and persuing ruinous economic policies . Some even excused the terroirism and other acts of violence as necessary to opposed the policies of the Reconstuction governments . Achievemnents For years as a result of the work of Lost Cause historians , Reconstruction has been seen as not only a failed effort , but a dark page of American history . Modern historians now draw a more nuanced view of Reconstruction . There were in fact real achievements . The slaves were freed , Reconstruction brought great hope for change in the South . There were some considerable gains made . Schools were established and Blacks elected to public office . The Freedman ' s Bureau was established . Public schools systems were founded in southern states . The Lost Cause Depiction Lost Cause historians painted a dark picture of the Reconstruction era . Reconstruction was depicted as a time when Carpetbaggers and Scalliways exploited the prostrate South . Black controlled Southern legislatures susposedly enacted ruinous taxes and graft was rife . Roving black gangs susposedly robbed and raped . [ Lemann ] The historical record presents a far different story . Blacks never controlled southern legislatures , although they had cinsiderable influence . Takes were raised , but the higher taxes were primarily to create public school systems . Rioutos gangs of blacks did not teroize the South and few women Gone with the Wind . Thdy were also prevalent in high school text books well into the 1970s . Presidential Election ( 1876 ) he Republicans nominated Ohio Govenor Rutherford B , Hayes in 1876 . Hayes ' liberalism , party loyalty , and a good war record made him an appealing candidate . The Democrats nominated Samuel Tilden . The Democrats surged and the election prived to be the first contest since the Civil War that the Democrats had a real chance of winning . Northerners were tiring of Reconstruction and the economy cost the Republicans votes . The results proved extremely close and led to a disputed outcome . The presidential election of 1876 was strongly disputed , primarily because of southern President Hayes ( 1877 - 81 ) Withdrawl of Federal Troops After President Hayes ( 1877 - 81 ) withdrew Federal troops from the South , the white majority began to take away the civil rights that the freed slaves had briefly experienced . White Supremecy The process of restablishing white supremecy began well before Federal Troops were withdrawn from the South . Both legal and extra - legal methods were used to restablish white supremecy . It is a sad chapter in American history and until recently not accurately told . Poorly prepared freed slaves sought to establish themselves . All to often they were cheated out of their wages . Those that dared to object were attacked by Klan terroists who beat them and all to frequently lynched blacks who were too successful or vocal . Gradually the Klan violince was institutionalized by Jim Individuals We have archived portraits of some Afrro - American children taken durung the Reconstruction period . Unfortunately we often have no information about the children pictured . A good example is an unidentified Afro - American boy taken about 1870 . Impact Lincoln and the Federal victory in the Civil War suceeded in preserving the Union and ending slavery . Lincoln began the process of ending slavery with the Emancipation Proclamation and getting the 13th Amendment through Congress . All of these were major , important achievements . Lincon was killed before Reconstruction could begin . But he had set in motion the 14th and 15th Amendments which went beyond emancipatian and made the Freedmen full itizens with all - important voting rights . Lincoln ' s death meant that he ws not in offuce to guide the Reconstructiin effort . It Sources Ely , Melvin Patrick . Israel on the Appomattox Foner , Eric .

http://histclo.com/essay/war/ww1/misc/ww1-vera.html | Versailles Peace Treaty : American Rejection of the Treaty Figure 1 . - - . The Versailles Peace Treaty ending World War I was signed on June 28 , 1919 , about 7 months after the Armistice stopping the fighting on November 11 , 1918 . It was one of the most important treaties of the 20th century . President Wilson after submitting a Draft Covenant for a League of Nations on February 14 , 1919 , left Paris on February 15 , returning to the United States . He sought to promote the League which he saw as the central feature of the Versailles Peace Treaty and a " world made safe for democracy League of Nations President Wilson saw at the center of a new international order , a League of Nations . As soon as he returned home from the Versailles Peace Conference , he launched upon a cross - country tour to promote the Treaty and U.S. membership in the League . He told Americans , " At the front of this great treaty is put the Covenant of the League of Nations . It will also be at the front of the Austrian , treaty and the Hungarian treaty and the Bulgarian treaty and the treaty with Turkey . Every one of them American Public Opinion American public opinion was strongly pro - British and pro - French even before America entered the War . Americans enthusiastically embraced the Allied cause after declaring war . There was , however , a rapid change in American public opinion after the Armistice and end of the War . We are not entirely sure why this occurred . Perhaps the diplomatic wrangling following the War looked to many Americans like the typical European diplomatic conspiracy following every other War rather than a peace settlement anticipated with the War to End All Wars . There were major differences between America U.S. 1918 Congressional By - election America voted just 6 - days before the Armistice ending World War I was declared . Had the Armistic have come a few days earlier , the electiin results probably woukd have been different . President Wilson has campaigned on a campsign of keeping the United States out of the War . German and Irish Americans in particular had not favored the War . The Republicans gained 25 seats in the House and 7 seats in the Senate . It meant that for the first time , President Wilson faced a Republican House and Senate . The new Senate Majority Wilson Proposes the League President Wilson after submitting a Draft Covenant for a League of Nations on February 14 , 1919 , left Paris on February 15 , returning to the United States . He sought to promote the League which he saw as the central feature of the Versailles Peace Treaty and a " world made safe for democracy " without the scourge of war . In the World War I peace settlement , Wilson compromised many of his principles to get the support of the Allies ( Britain , France , and Italy ) fo what he saw as the cornerstone of The U.S. Senate Wilson met with highly skeptical Congressional leaders over dinner on February 26 . Key Republican leader , Republican Majority Leader and Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Henry Cabot Lodge , in a February 28 speech rejected the principle of mutual guarantee in the Wilson proposal , but not the League outright . Ratification of the Treaty required the approval of two - thirds of the Senate where the opposition Republicans had a narrow majority . Thus on March 2 , 1919 when 39 Senators sign Round Robin to separate League from Treaty , it is clear that approval was imperiled . Taft ( the former president ) have weaker internationalist sentiments and are not outright opponents . The bulk of the Senate , about 40 Republicans and Democrats have mild preservationists . Senator Hitchcock led this group . Lodge led a group of 7 Republicans with strong reservations . Borah and Johnson led a group of 14 Republicans and 1 Democrat that called themselves irrenconcilables - - fundamentally opposed to the League . The Debate After the Treaty was signed June 28 , Wilson returned home to the United States , arriving July 8 . He presents the Treaty to the Senate July 10 , saying " The stage is set , the destiny disclosed . " Senator Lodge July 14 - 28 insisted on reading all 246 pages of Treaty aloud to the Senate . Lodge in his Foreign Relations Committee conducted public hearings from July 31 - September . . He called 60 witnesses . Wilson at a 3 hour lunch meeting with entire Senate Foreign Relations Committee on August 19 agreed to Lodge Reservations While Wilson lay sick , Senator Lodge proposed 14 reservations aimed at limiting any kind of real commitment to mutual security . Wilson who had compromised with the Allies in Paris and had been willing to compromise with the Senate earlier , after the stroke refuses to compromise further . Wilson opposes all of the Lodge reservations and tells Senator Hitchcock on November 7 , " Let Lodge compromise ! " Hitchcock on November 13 proposed 5 mild reservations as an alternative to the much more substantial Lodge reservations , but they are voted down by the Foreign Relation Committee Treaty Rejected With Wilson ' s refusal to compromise , the Senate overwhealmingly rejected the Treaty by wide margins in two votes on November 19 . The Senate rejected the Treaty with the 14 Lodge reservations 39 - 55 . It then rejected Wilson ' s original Treaty 38 - 53 . Many Republicans and Democrats in the Senate with mild reservations to the League on December 29 convinced Lodge to seek a compromise . Wilson however was adamant and on January 8 , 1920 insisted that the Treaty should not be substantially altered by the Senate . Lodge helped form a Britain and France Concern over the debate in Washington grew in Europe which had counted upon American participation in the League which Wilson had proposed . Both the English and French Governments on February 1 declared they were willing to accept the Senate reservations . The Senate on February 9 , votes to reconsider the Treaty and referred it to the Foreign Relations Committee . The Committee on February 10 approved the Treaty with the Lodge reservations . At this stage , had Wilson compromised , he cold have had the Treaty and the League . Wilson is , however , not prepared 1920 Presidential Election Without the Treaty , the United States was still legally at war with Germany . Congress attempts on May 20 to end the War by joint resolution , but Wilson vetoes the resolution . The Democrats in the for the fall presidential election nominated a newspaper editor from Ohio , Governor James M . Cox , as their presidential candidate , and a young Franklin Delano Roosevelt for vice president . Both Democratic candidates actively expoused President Wilson ' s global idealism and promoted the League . Americans were having none of it . The War losses , mild by Warren G . Harding was another Ohio publisher serving in the Senate . Harding offered a " return to normalcy " and was on November 2 , elected in a Republican landslide . This effectively end the debate in the United States over the League of Nations and active participation in European affairs . Harding became president in March 1921 . Congress on July 2 ended the War by joint resolution which President Harding signed . Separate treaties with Germany , Austria , Hungary were ratified October 18 . One historians stresses that America ' s withdrawl into isolationism was not a foregone conclusion Assessment It must be said that the the Versailles Treaty was not as onerous as the Treaty of Breast - Litovsk ( 1918 ) which the Germans imposed on the Russians . Still it was undeniably harsh . Many historians see it at the first step toward World War II . Not only did it create immense ill - will in Germany , but it destroyed the creditability of the new Weimar Republic . Many Germans felt that their country had been humiliated and they came to blame the Weimar politicians that accepted the treaty . Had their been a more Franklin Roosevelt A young Franklin D . Roosevelt ( FDR ) was only the Assistant Secretary of the Navy during World War I , but he took the Wilsonian commitment to the League to heart . As the Democratic candidate for Vice President in the 1920 presidential election , Roosevelt campaigned tirelessly for the League . The massive Republican victory in 1920 convinced leading Democrats like New York ' s Al Smith , who ran for president in 1928 , that the League was a losing issue . Roosevelt never lost his belief in the League , but he was an astute enough politician to see that Smith isolationist sentiment made any approach to the League impossible , especially because all of the energies of the New Deal were directed at the Depression - - an economic crises of staggering proportions . Later in World War II , it was Roosevelt who believed that American refusal to join the League was a major factor in the outbreak of World War II , revived the issue of the League in the United Nations ( U.N. ) . He even hoped to be the first Secretary General after the War was over . Sadly FDR ' s health did not permit this , but his wife Elenor played a major role in the founding of the U.N. after her husband ' s death . This time given FDR ' s stature and shifts in American sentiment , there was no serious opposition . Another major conclusion that FDR drew from World War I was that it had been a major mistake to stop the Allied Armies at the Rhine . After America entered World War II in 1941 , he was determined to achieve unconditional surrender from both the Germans and Japanese . One of the consequences of that decision is today ' s democratic , peaceful Germany and Japan Sources Chace , James . 1912 : The Election that Saved the Country Wells , H.G .

http://histclo.com/pres/Ind19/lincoln.html | Abrham Lincoln ( 1809 - 65 ) Figure 1 . - - Tad Lincoln is pictured here in a White House photograph taken about 1862 after Willie ' s trafgic death . Note the adult looking clothing that Tad , who is only about 11 , is wearing . This is the only portrait made of President Lincoln wearing glasses . It was originally photographed by Anthony Berger for Matthew Brady and became the most popular of the Lincoln images during the Civil war . This is a print of the original . Thousands of this image were made and sold . Abraham Lincoln was the 16th and the most beloved of all American presidents , although at the time he engendered intense political controversy , in both the north and south . Lincoln was the first strong president since Polk . While his election precpitated the Civil War , it was clear by 1860 that the southern states were preparing to secede and only Federal military force could prevent . Abhorring war , Abraham Lincoln accepted it as the only means to save the Union . President Lincoln ' s leadership proceeded not only to save the Union , but also Family Lincoln ' s parents were Thomas Lincoln ( ca1776 - 1851 ) and Nancy Hanks ( 1784 - 1818 ) . He had a brother and sister who died at a young age . Father Thomas ' father had been killed by Indians while clearing land . The absence of a father to support him left him with few prospects and opportunities . He tried as best he could . He was both a farmer and carpenter . He bought several farms , but there was a poor land system at the time and he was badly cheated . So Thomas kept moving and trying again . Thomas was uneducated and could barely scrawl his name . Thomas is probably the worst presidential father in American history . After his first wife died he abandoned Mother Nancy Hanks was illiterate . She came from a large family of modest means , but thoroughly respectable . Some have claimed that she was illegitimate , but recent scholarship has demonstrated that she was not . Nancy died when Abe was only 8 years old . Abe himself whittled pegs for his mother ' s coffin . So the young Abraham Lincoln met death at an early age . Siblings Lincoln had an older sister Sarah ( 1807 - 28 ) who died ias a young woman . There was also a younger brother , Thomas Jr . ( 1811 - 13 ) , who died in infancy and an older sister who died in childhood . Abe was too young to have known Thomas . He was , however , very close to Sarah and grew up with her . Sarah married Aaron Grisby ( 1826 ) . Sarah tragically died in childbirth ( 1828 ) . Abe was crushed as the two were so close . He blamed Childhood Abraham was the son of a not very sucessful Kentucky frontiersman and carpenter , He had to struggle for a living and for learning . Lincoln himself never said much about his childhood . Five months before receiving his party ' s nomination for President , he sketched his life briefly at the urging of a campaign manager . " I was born Feb . 12 , 1809 , in Hardin County , Kentucky . My parents were both born in Virginia , of undistinguished families - - second families , perhaps I should say . My mother , who Education Abraham Lincoln is surely the most poorly educated president in American history . Which is of course not to say he was the least learned president . He attended even less school than Andrew Jackson who lost both his parents . Lincoln when asked about his education , had aone word description - - " defficebt " . Lincoln made some efforts to attain knowledge while working on the family farm . There were few opportunities , however , and Lincoln did not at this time have the same drive for education that he demonstrated in later life . As Friendships More books have been written about Lincoln than any other American president . Yet Lincoln in many ways remains an enigma . Lincoln never wrote about himself in any detail . He had few close friends and even to them he never really opened himself up to describe his private life . Lincoln appears to have been unable of making intimate friendships . It is unclear why . The loss of his mother , his isolated rural boyhood , and his difficult relationship with his father all must have affected his ability to relate with others . Lincoln ' s We Jobs Lincoln had a variety of jobs before becoming a lawyer . He split rails , worked as a store clerk and on a river boat . It was on the Mississippi River that his views of slavery were formed , based on what he observed . As a politician , however , he had to mute his views of slavery . While there were abolitionists in the north , even if the United SDtastes was a racist nation . Tacist feeling was especially strong in Illinois . He was also a postmaster . This helped him meet people . It Political Career Lincoln reversed the usual pattern of studying law and then becoming a politician . He first ran for the state legislature at 23 and won a seat in the second try as a Whig in 1834 . There he met people with wider horizons . And he was soon was convinced to study law . Lincoln was a effective young politician and politics was his true love . Yet there was no real issue which motivated him . It was Stephen Douglas , the prominent Illinois Senator , that gave Lincoln an issue . Douglas proposed the Kansas - Nebraska Character One of the most intriguing questions about Lincoln seems to be where his monumental character came from . It does not seem to have come from his father . And he had almost no formal education . Yes no president in American history , except perhaps Washington , approaches Lincoln in strength of character . This is a topic many historians have addressed to a greater or lesser degree . And their findings have varied . One historian describes what he sees as a " a basic trait of character evident throughout Lincoln ' s life : the essential passivity Lincoln . ] We are not sure what the basis for this assessment is . Perhaps he was referring more to Lincoln ' s private life . We certainly so not see passivity in his public life . Another historian with more insight that Lincoln ' s public life was " mastery rather than passivity " . [ McPearson ] One of the surprising aspects of Lincoln ' s character was his personal self - confidence . It was that self - confidence that Lincoln brought to Washington in 1861 . Lincoln had no experience at any kind of administration or Civil War Abraham Lincoln warned the South in his Inaugural Address : " In your hands , my dissatisfied fellow countrymen , and not in mine , is the momentous issue of civil war . The government will not assail you . . . . You have no oath registered in Heaven to destroy the government , while I shall have the most solemn one to preserve , protect and defend it . " Lincoln thought secession illegal , and was willing to use force to defend Federal law and the Union . When Confederate batteries fired on Fort Sumter and forced Two American Presidents America in 1861 had two presidents . Only one of them , however , had the kind of qualifications that we like to see in our presidents - - and it was not Lincoln . Jefferson Davis was well educated with both a university degree and a graduate of West Point . He was a recognized war hero who played a major role in the war with Mexico . He was an important senator and served as Secretary of War . Lincoln had virtually no formal education . He served without distinction in the Black Hawk War . He served one term in Congress and lost a race for the Senate . He had no administrative experience and his law office was a shambles . But from the onset , it was Lincoln who made the right Presidency Lincoln as President built the Republican Party into a strong national organization . Further , he rallied most of the northern Democrats to the Union cause which , considering the horrors of the Civil War , was a major accomplishment . Lincoln on January 1 , 1863 , issued the Emancipation Proclamation that declared forever free those slaves within the Confederacy . This transformed the War from a struggle to save the Union to a moral crusade to eradicate slavery . Lincoln never let the world forget that the Civil War involved an even larger issue . This he stated With malice toward none ; with charity for all ; with firmness in the right , as God gives us to see the right , let us strive on to finish the work we are in ; to bind up the nation ' s wounds . . . . " On Good Friday , April 14 , 1865 , Lincoln was assassinated at Ford ' s Theater in Washington by John Wilkes Booth , an actor , who somehow thought he was helping the South . The opposite was the result , for with Lincoln ' s death , the possibility of peace with magnanimity died . Historical Assessment Lincoln is now regarded along with Washington and Franklin Roosevelt as the Republic ' s three greatest presidents , champion of freedom , and hero of the American nation . He is the most beloved of our presidents . In his life time , however , he was one of the most controversial presidents . In the South his name was an anathema , but there were also strident critics in the North . Overseas journalists in Britain caricatured him mercilessly , making him the butt of public ridicule and scorn . Lincoln ' s two monumental achievements are saving The Union President Lincoln is commonly credited by historians for saving the Union . It is of course impossible to know if another president could have succeeded . We do know that other politicns at the time either were not or would not have daved the Union ( Bucannan , Douglas , and McClellan ) . Given that the Federal victory was a close run thing , Lincoln ' s role was critical . A series of generals perforned very poorly , giving the Condederacy the opportunity to precail on the battlefield . Thus Lincoln ' s political savy was very impotant Racism There is a teendency in America to debunk the great figures in American history . This largely comes from politically motivated authors who want to undermine the very positive role America has played in world affairs . The tactic used here is to judge historical figures with modern standards . The charge made against Lincoln was that he was a racist . And Lincoln made statements that using modern standards woulkd be seen as racist . Now this not particularly surprising . America and Europe in the 19th century was highly racist . And this was not a particularly Western Emancipation Lincoln ' s view on slavery were formed at an early age . His mother and father belonged to a Baptist sect that opposed slavery . As a youth he worked on a flat boat taking goods own the Mississippi to New Orleans where he saw slaves being bought an sold . He was active in politics for years , but it was not until Senator Stephen Douglass proposed the Kansas - Nebraska Act and championed " popular sovereignty " . The possibility that slavery would be expanded that Lincoln seize an issue that moved him . Lincoln hated slavery Emancipation Proclamation was an act to strike at the economy of the South and not a moral pronouncement . Lincoln was , however , probably our most private of presidents . He never set down on paper his true feelings , primarily because of the contemporary political ramifications . No competent Lincoln scholar , however , would deny that he hated slavery . The Emancipation Proclamation was written as a military act rather than a soaring moral pronouncement . Revisionist historians have used this to demonstrate that Lincoln had no strong moral convictions on slavery . Lincoln realized the nation would accept Family Mary Todd Lincoln was not the first woman in Lincoln ' s life . When he was 26 , the love of his life died . It may well be that the marriage with Mary was more of a political step , knowing that to advance he need the help of someone with social graces . What ever his personal feelings , he was a devoted husband and father . Mary Todd Lincoln is beyond doubt the most tragic of all America ' s First Ladies . Other have suffered great losses , but none so many losses beginning at Secular Saint Lincoln ' s inspired leadership and achievements as well as his assasination , often seen as a kind of mayrtardom , raised Lincoln ' s to a kind of secular saint . He is certainly the most beloved of all American presidents . Probably only Washington can rabk higher in any list of American presidents . One author deavels specifically in the traits by which Americans ranks its heros . He deavels into the ideas , beliefs , willpower , pertinacity , communication skills , and magnamity . These traits shown through all of Lincolm ' s life from his Summer White House In the era before air conditioning , the White House was an extremely unpleasant place to live . Soldier ' s Home was a retirement community for indigent soldiers . It was located a few miles from the White House in Washington it was at a higher elevation and st among many trees . The air was fresher and cooler than the swampy area around the White House . Soldier ' s Home provided cottages for senior government officials .

http://histonano.com/books/Junqueira's%20Basic%20Histology%20PDF%20WHOLE%20BOOK/17.%20The%20Respiratory%20System.htm | Copyright ยฉ The McGraw - Hill Companies . Chapter 17 . The Respiratory System The Respiratory System : Introduction The respiratory system includes the lungs and a branching system of tubes that link the sites of gas exchange with the external environment . Air is moved through the lungs by a ventilating mechanism , consisting of the thoracic cage , intercostal muscles , diaphragm , and elastic components of the lung tissue . The respiratory system is divided anatomically into structures of the upper and lower respiratory tracts ( Figure 17 โ 1 ) . Functionally , these structures make up the system ' s conducting portion , which consists of the nasal cavities , nasopharynx , larynx , trachea , bronchi ( Gr . bronchos , windpipe ) , bronchioles , and terminal bronchioles ; and a respiratory portion ( where gas exchange takes place ) , consisting of respiratory bronchioles , alveolar ducts , and alveoli . Alveoli are saclike structures that make up the greater part of the lungs . They are the main sites for the principal function of the lungs โ the exchange of O 2 and CO 2 between inspired air and blood . Figure 17 โ 1 . Anatomy of the respiratory system . Anatomically , the respiratory tract has upper and lower parts . Histologically and functionally , the respiratory system has a conducting portion , which consists of all the components that condition air and bring it into the lungs , and a respiratory portion , where gas exchange actually occurs , consisting of respiratory bronchioles , alveolar ducts , and alveoli in the lungs . Portions of two sets of paranasal sinuses are shown here . The conducting portion serves two main functions : to provide a conduit through which air moves to and from the lungs and to condition the inspired air . To ensure an uninterrupted supply of air , a combination of cartilage , elastic and collagen fibers , and smooth muscle provides the conducting portion with rigid structural support and the necessary flexibility and extensibility . Respiratory Epithelium Most of the conducting portion is lined with ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium known as respiratory epithelium ( Figure 17 โ 2 ) . This epithelium has at least five cell types , all of which touch the thick basement membrane : ยง Ciliated columnar cells ( described in Chapter 2 ) are the most abundant , each with about 300 cilia on its apical surface ( Figure 17 โ 2 ) . MEDICAL APPL ICATION Immotile cilia syndrome , a disorder that causes infertility in men and chronic respiratory tract infections in both sexes , is caused by immobility of cilia and flagella induced , in some cases , by deficiency of dynein , a protein normally present in the cilia . Dynein participates in the ciliary movement ( see Chapter 2 ) . ยง Goblet cells are also abundant in some areas of the respiratory epithelium ( Figure 17 โ 2 ) , filled in their apical portions with granules of mucin glycoproteins . Brush cells are a much more sparsely scattered and less easily found , columnar cell type , which has a small apical surface bearing a tuft of many short , blunt microvilli ( Figure 17 โ 2c ) . Brush cells express some signal transduction components like those of gustatory cells and have afferent nerve endings on their basal surfaces and are considered to be chemosensory receptors . Small granule cells are also difficult to distinguish in routine preparations , but possess numerous dense core granules 100 โ 300 nm in diameter . Like brush cells , they represent about 3 % of the total cells and are part of the diffuse neuroendocrine system ( Chapter 20 ) . Basal cells , small rounded cells on the basement membrane and not extending to the luminal surface , are stem cells that give rise to the other cell types . Figure 17 โ 2 . Respiratory epithelium . Respiratory epithelium is the classic example of pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium . ( a ) : Details of its structure vary in different regions of the respiratory tract , but it usually rests on a very thick basement membrane ( BM ) and has several cell types , some columnar , some basal and all contacting the basement membrane . Ciliated columnar cells are the most abundant , with hundreds of long robust cilia ( C ) on each of their bulging apical ends which provide a lush cover of cilia on the luminal surface . Most of the small rounded cells at the basement membrane are stem cells and their differentiating progeny , which together ( b ) : SEM shows the luminal surface of goblet cells ( G ) among the numerous ciliated cells . X2500 . ( c ) : As shown by SEM of another region , goblet cells ( G ) predominate in some areas , with subsurface accumulations of mucus evident in some ( arrows ) . The film of mucus traps most airborne dust particles and microorganisms and the ciliary movements continuously propel the sheet of mucus toward the esophagus for elimination . Other columnar cells , representing only about 3 % of the cells in respiratory epithelium , are brush cells ( B ) with small apical surfaces bearing a tuft of short , blunt microvilli . Brush cells have features of chemosensory receptors but MEDICAL APPLICATION From the nasal cavities through the larynx , portions of the epithelial lining are stratified squamous . This type of epithelium is evident in regions exposed to direct airflow or physical abrasion ( eg , or opharynx , epiglottis , vocal folds ) ; it provides more protection from wear and abrasion than does respiratory epithelium . In smokers the proportion of ciliated cells to goblet cells is altered to aid in clearing the increased particulate and gaseous pollutants ( eg , CO , SO ) . Although the greater numbers of goblet cells in a smoker ' s epithelium provide for a more rapid clearance of pollutants , the reduction in ciliated cells caused by excessive intake of CO results in decreased movement of the mucus layer and frequently leads to congestion of the smaller airways . Nasal Cavities The left and right nasal cavity each has two components : the external vestibule and the internal nasal cavities ( or fossae ) . The vestibule is the most anterior and dilated portion of each nasal cavity . Skin of the nose enters the nares ( nostrils ) partway up the vestibule and has sweat glands , sebaceous glands , and short coarse vibrissae ( hairs ) that filter out particulate material from the inspired air . Within the vestibule , the epithelium loses its keratinized nature and undergoes a transition into typical respiratory epithelium before entering the nasal fossae . The nasal cavities lie within the skull as two cavernous chambers s eparated by the osseous nasal septum . Extending from each lateral wall are three bony shelflike projections ( Figure 17 โ 1 ) called conchae . The middle and inferior conchae are covered with respiratory epithelium ; the superior conchae are covered with a specialized olfactory epithelium . The narrow passages between the conchae improve the conditioning of the inspired air by increasing the surface area of moist , warm respiratory epithelium and by slowing and increasing turbulence in the airflow . The result is increased contact between air streams and the mucous layer . Within the lamina propria of the conchae are large venous plexuses known as swell bodies . Every 20 โ 30 minutes , the swell bodies on one side become temporarily engorged with blood , resulting in distension of the conchal mucosa and a concomitant decrease in the flow of air . During this time , most of the air is directed through the other nasal fossa , allowing the engorged respiratory mucosa to recover from dehydration . MEDICAL APPLICATION Allergic react ions and inflammation can cause abnormal engorgement of swell bodies in both fossae , severely restricting the air flow . The abundance of thin - walled venules in the lining of the nasal cavities and their proximity to the epithelial surface explains why nosebleeds occur so commonly . In addition to swell bodies , the nasal cavities ' mucosa has a rich vascular system with a complex organization . Large vessels form a close - meshed latticework next to the underlying periosteum , from which arcading branches lead tow ard the surface . Blood in these vessels flows from the rear of the cavities in a direction opposite to that of the inspired air , transferring heat to warm it quickly . A major function of the entire conducting portion is to condition inspired air by cleanin g , moistening , and warming it before it enters the lungs . In addition to the moist vibrissae , the rich vasculature in the lamina propria , and the ciliated and mucus - secreting cells of respiratory epithelium , conditioning also involves numerous mucous and serous glands in the mucosa . Once the air reaches the nasal fossae , particulate and gaseous impurities are trapped in a layer of mucus . This mucus , in conjunction with serous secretions , also serves to moisten the incoming air , protecting the delicate alveoli of the lungs from desiccation . Smell ( Olfaction ) The olfactory chemoreceptors are located in the olfactory epithelium , a specialized region of the mucous membrane covering the superior conchae at the roof of the nasal cavity . In humans , it is about 10 cm in area and up to 100 m in thickness . It is a pseudostratified columnar epithelium composed of three types of cells ( Figure 17 โ 3 ) : Basal cells are small , spherical or cone - shaped and form a layer at the basal lamina . They are the stem cells for the other two types . Supporting cells are columnar , with broad , cylindrical apexes and narrower bases . On their free surface are microvilli submerged in a fluid layer . Well - developed junctional complexes bind the supporting cells to the adjacent olfactory cells . The supportive role of these cells is not well - understood , but they express abundant ion channels whose function appears to be required to maintain a microenvironment conducive to olfactory function and survival . Olfactory neurons are bipolar neurons present throughout this epithelium . They are distinguished from supporting cells by the position of their nuclei , which lie between those of the supporting cells and the basal cells . The dendrite end of each olfactory neuron is the apical ( luminal ) pole of the cell and has a knoblike swelling with about a dozen basal bodies . From the basal bodies emerge long nonmotile cilia with defective axonemes but a considerable surface area for membrane chemoreceptors . These receptors respond to odoriferous substances by generating an action potential along the ( basal ) axons Figure 17 โ 3 . Olfactory epithelium . ( a , b ) : The olfactory epithelium covers the superior conchae bilaterally and sends axons from throughout its entire 10 cm area to the brain via small openings in the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone . It is a pseudostratified epithelium , containing basal stem cells and columnar support cells in addition to the bipolar olfactory neurons . The dendrites of these neurons are at the luminal ends and have cilia specialized with many membrane receptors for odor molecules . Binding such ligands causes depolarization which passes along basal axons to the olfactory bulb of the brain X200 . H&E . The lamina propria of the olfactory epithelium possesses large serous glands ( glands of Bowman ) , which produce a flow of fluid surrounding the olfactory cilia and facilitating the access of new odoriferous substances . The olfactory neurons are some of the only neurons to be replaced regularly and constantly due to regenerative activity of the epithelial stem cells from which they arise . For this reason loss of the sense of smell due to toxic fumes or physical injury to the epithelium is usually temporary . However damage to the ethmoid bone at the base of the skull can shear the olfactory axons and lead to more permanent loss of olfaction if axonal regeneration through the cribriform plate is also blocked . Sinuses & Nasopharynx The paranasal sinuses are bilateral cavities in the frontal , maxillary , ethmoid , and sphenoid bones of the skull ( Figure 17 โ 1 ) . They are lined with a thinner respiratory epithelium with fewer goblet cells . The lamina propria contains only a few small glands and is continuous with the underlying periosteum . The paranasal sinuses communicate with the nasal cavities through small openings and mucus produced in the sinuses is moved into the nasal passages by the activity of the ciliated epithelial cells . MEDICAL AP PLICATION Sinusitis is an inflammatory process of the sinuses that may persist for long periods of time , mainly because of obstruction of drainage orifices . Chronic sinusitis and bronchitis are components of immotile cilia syndrome , which is characterized by defective ciliary action . Posterior to the nasal cavities , the nasopharynx is the first part of the pharynx , continuing caudally with the oropharynx , the posterior part of the oral cavity ( Figure 17 โ 1 ) . It is lined with respiratory epithelium and contains the medial pharyngeal tonsil and the bilateral openings of the auditory tubes to each middle ear . Larynx larynx is a rigid , short ( 4 cm x 4 cm ) passage for air between the pharynx and the trachea ( Figure 7 โ 1 ) . Its wall is reinforced by hyaline cartilage ( in the thyroid , cricoid , and the inferior arytenoid cartilages ) and smaller elastic cartilages ( in the epiglottis , cuneiform , corniculate , and the superior arytenoid cartilages ) , all connected by ligaments . In addition to maintaining an open airway , movements of these cartilages by skeletal muscles participate in sound production during phonation and the epiglottis serves as a valve to prevent swallowed food or fluid from entering epiglottis , which projects from the upper rim of the larynx , extends into the pharynx and has lingual and laryngeal surfaces . The entire lingual surface and the apical portion of the laryngeal surface are covered with stratified squamous epithelium . At variable points on the laryngeal surface of the epiglottis the epithelium undergoes a transition to ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium . Mixed mucous and serous glands are found in the lamina propria beneath the epithelium . Below the epiglottis , the mucosa of the larynx extends two pairs of folds bilaterally into the lumen ( Figure 17 โ 4 ) . The upper pair , the vestibular folds or false vocal cords , is partly covered with typical respiratory epithelium beneath which lie numerous seromucous glands . The lower pair of folds constitutes the vocal folds or vocal cords . These are covered with stratified squamous epithelium and contain bundles of parallel elastic fibers ( vocal ligament ) and large bundles of striated vocalis muscles . The muscles regulate the tension of each vocal fold and its ligaments . As expelled air is forced between the folds , variable tension in these vocal cords produces different sounds . All structures and spaces in the respiratory tract above the vocal folds are involved in modifying the resonance of the sounds . Figure 17 โ 4 . Larynx . The larynx is a short passageway for air between the pharynx and trachea . Its wall contains skeletal muscles and pieces of cartilage , all of which make the larynx specialized for sound production . The low - power micrograph shows the upper laryngeal vestibule ( LV ) , which is surrounded by seromucous glands ( G ) . The lateral walls of this region bulge as a pair of broad folds , the vestibular folds ( VF ) . These also contain seromucous glands and areolar tissue with MALT , often with lymphoid nodules ( L ) and are largely covered by respiratory epithelium , with regions near the epiglottis having Trachea trachea is 12 - 14 cm long and lined with a typical respiratory mucosa ( Figure 17 โ 5 ) . In the lamina propria numerous seromucous glands produce watery mucus and in the submucosa 16 โ 20 C - shaped rings of hyaline cartilage keep the tracheal lumen open ( Figure 17 โ 6 ) . The open ends of the cartilage rings are on the posterior surface , against the esophagus , and are bridged by a bundle of smooth muscle ( trachealis muscle ) and a sheet of fibroelastic tissue attached to the perichondrium . The entire organ is surrounded by adventitia . Figure 17 โ 5 . Trachea . The wall of the trachea is lined by typical respiratory epithelium ( E ) underlain by connective tissue ( CT ) and seromucous glands ( G ) in the lamina propria . The submucosa contains C - shaped rings of hyaline cartilage ( C ) covered by perichondrium ( P ) . The watery mucous fluid produced by goblet cells and by the glands forms a layer that permits the ciliary movement to propel foreign particles continuously out of the respiratory system in the mucociliary escalator . The openings in the cartilage rings are on the posterior surface , against the esophagus , and contain smooth muscle and elastic tissue . These allow distention Figure 17 โ 6 . Bronchial tree . The trachea bifurcates as right and left primary bronchi that enter the hilum on the posterior side of each lung along with the pulmonary vessels , lymphatics , and nerves . ( a ) : Within each lung bronchi subdivide further to form the bronchial tree , the last component of the air conducting system . ( b ) : Diagram shows color - coding of the major branches of the bronchial tree . The trachealis relaxes during swallowing to facilitate the passage of food by allowing the esophagus to bulge into the lumen of the trachea , with the elastic layer preventing excessive distention of the lumen . In the cough reflex the muscle contracts to narrow the tracheal lumen and provide for increased velocity of the expelled air and better loosening of material in the air passage . Bronchial Tree & Lung The trachea divides into two primary bronchi that enter the lungs at the hilum , along with arteries , veins , and lymphatic vessels . After entering the lungs , the primary bronchi course downward and outward , giving rise to three secondary lobar bronchi in the right lung and two in the left lung ( Figure 17 โ 6 ) , each of which supplies a pulmonary lobe . These lobar bronchi again divide , forming tertiary segmental bronchi . Each of these tertiary bronchi , together with the smaller branches it supplies , constitutes a bronchopulmonary segment โ approximately 10 โ 12 % of each lung with its own connective tissue capsule and blood supply . The existence of such lung segments facilitates the specific surgical resection of diseased lung tissue without affecting nearby healthy tissue . The tertiary bronchi give rise to smaller and smaller bronchi , whose terminal branches are called bronchioles . Each bronchiole enters a pulmonary lobule , where it branches to form five to seven terminal bronchioles . The pulmonary lobules are pyramid - shaped , with the apex directed toward the pulmonary hilum . Each lobule is delineated by a thin connective tissue septum , best seen in the fetus . In adults these septa are frequently incomplete , resulting in a poor delineation of the lobules . Moving through the smaller bronchi and bronchioles toward the respiratory portion , the histologic organization of both the epithelium and the underlying lamina propria gradually becomes more simplified . Bronchi Each primary bronchus branches repeatedly , with each branch becoming progressively smaller until it reaches a diameter of about 5 mm . The mucosa of the larger bronchi is structurally similar to the tracheal mucosa except for the organization of cartilage and smooth muscle ( Figure 17 โ 7 ) . In the primary bronchi most cartilage rings completely encircle the lumen , but as the bronchial diameter decreases , cartilage rings are gradually replaced with isolated plates of hyaline cartilage . Abundant mucous and serous glands are also present , with ducts opening into the bronchial lumen . In the bronchial lamina propria is a layer of crisscrossing bundles of spirally arranged smooth muscle ( Figures 17 โ 7 and 17 โ 8 ) , which become Figure 17 โ 7 . Tertiary ( segmental ) bronchus . In a cross - section of a large bronchus the lining of respiratory epithelium ( E ) and the mucosa are folded due to contraction of its smooth muscle ( SM ) . At this stage in the bronchial tree , the wall is also surrounded by many pieces of hyaline cartilage ( C ) and contains many seromucous glands ( G ) in the submucosa which drain into the lumen . In the connective tissue surrounding the bronchi can be seen arteries and veins ( V ) , which are also branching as smaller and smaller vessels in the approach to the respiratory bronchioles . All bronchi are surrounded by distinctive lung Figure 17 โ 8 . Bronchial wall . A higher power view of the bronchus shows the epithelium ( E ) of mainly pseudostratified ciliated columnar cells with a few goblet cells . The lamina propria ( LP ) contains the distinct layer of smooth muscle ( SM ) surrounding the entire bronchus . The submucosa is the site of the supporting cartilage ( C ) and the adventitia includes blood vessels ( V ) and nerves ( N ) . Lung tissue ( LT ) directly surrounds the adventitia of bronchi . X140 . H&E . ( b ) : This micrograph shows the epithelium of a smaller bronchus , in which the epithelium is primarily of columnar cells with cilia ( arrows ) , with fewer goblet cells . The lamina propria has both smooth muscle ( SM ) and small serous glands ( G ) near cartilage ( C ) . X400 . H&E . The lamina propria also contains elastic fibers and abundant mucous and serous glands ( Figure 17 โ 8 ) whose ducts open into the bronchial lumen . Numerous lymphocytes are found both within the lamina propria and among the epithelial cells . Lymphatic nodules are present and are particularly numerous at the branching points of the bronchial tree . Elastic fibers , smooth muscle , and MALT become relatively more abundant as bronchi become smaller and cartilage and other connective tissue are reduced . Bronchioles Bronchioles are the intralobular airways with diameters of 5 mm or less , formed after about the tenth generation of branching , and have neither ca rtilage nor glands in their mucosa ( Figure 17 โ 9 ) . In the larger bronchioles , the epithelium is still ciliated pseudostratified columnar , but this decreases in height and complexity to become ciliated simple columnar or cuboidal epithelium in the smaller terminal bronchioles . Goblet cells disappear during this transition , but the epithelium of terminal bronchioles instead contains other numerous columnar cells : the exocrine bronchiolar cells , commonly called Clara cells ( Figure 17 โ 10 ) . These mitotically active cells secrete surfactant components and have various important defensive roles . Scattered neuroendocrine cells ( Chapter 20 ) are also present , producing serotonin and other peptides that help control the tone of the local smooth muscle . Groups of similar cells , called neuroepithelial bodies , occur in some bronchioles and at higher levels in the bronchial tree . These are innervated by autonomic and sensory fibers and some of the cells appear to function as chemosensory receptors in monitoring air O levels . Epithelial stem cells are also present in these groups of cells . Figure 17 โ 9 . Bronchioles . Bronchial branches less than about 5 mm in diameter lack supporting cartilage and are called bronchioles . A large bronchiole has the characteristically folded respiratory epithelium ( E ) and prominent smooth muscle ( arrows ) , but is supported only by fibrous connective tissue ( C ) with no glands . X140 . H&E . Staining for elastic fibers reveals the high elastic content of the smooth muscle ( arrowhead ) associated with the muscle of a smaller bronchiole ( B ) in which the epithelium is simple columnar . Darkly stained elastic fibers are also present in the tunica media of a large arteriole ( A ) nearby and to a lesser extent in the accompanying venule ( V ) . The connective tissue includes many lymphocytes ( L ) of MALT and lymphoid nodules are also common at this level . X180 . Elastic stain . ( c ) : In very small bronchioles the epithelium ( E ) is reduced to simple low columnar and the several layers of smooth muscle cells ( arrows ) comprise a high proportion of the wall . X300 . H&E . Figure 17 โ 10 . Terminal bronc hiole and Clara cells . The last parts of the air conducting system before the sites of gas exchange appear are called the terminal bronchioles , which generally have diameters of one to two mm . Cross - section shows that a terminal bronchiole has only one or two layers of smooth muscle cells . The epithelium contains ciliated cuboidal cells and many low columnar nonciliated cells . X300 . PT . The nonciliated Clara cells with bulging domes of apical cytoplasm contain granules , as seen better in a plastic section . Named for Dr . Max Clara , the histologist who first described them in 1937 , these cells have several important functions . They secrete components of surfactant which reduces surface tension and helps prevent collapse of the bronchioles . In addition , Clara cells produce enzymes that help break down mucus locally . The P450 enzyme system of their smooth ER detoxifies potentially harmful compounds in air . In other defensive functions , Clara cells also produce the The bronchiolar lamina propria is composed largely of smooth muscle and elastic fibers . The musculature of both the bronchi and the bronchioles is under the control of the vagus nerve and the sympathetic nervous system , in addition to the influence of neuroendocrine peptides . Stimulation of the vagus nerve decreases the diameter of these structures ; sympathetic stimulation produces the opposite effect . increase in bronchiole diameter in response to stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system explains why epinephrine and other sympathomimetic drugs are frequently used to relax smooth muscle during asthma attacks . When the thickness of the bronchial walls is compared with that of the bronchiolar walls , the bronchiolar muscle layer is seen to be proportionately greater . Increased airway resistance in asthma is believed to be due mainly to contraction of bronchiolar smooth muscle . Respiratory Bronchioles Ea ch terminal bronchiole subdivides into two or more respiratory bronchioles that serve as regions of transition between the conducting and respiratory portions of the respiratory system ( Figure 17 โ 11 ) . The respiratory bronchiolar mucosa is structurally identical to that of the terminal bronchioles , except that their walls are interrupted by the openings to saclike alveoli where gas exchange occurs . Portions of the respiratory bronchioles are lined with ciliated cuboidal epithelial cells and Clara cells , but at the rim of the alveolar openings the bronchiolar epithelium becomes continuous with the squamous alveolar lining cells ( Figure 17 โ 11 . Terminal bronc hioles , respiratory bronchioles , and alveoli . Terminal bronchioles branch into respiratory bronchioles , which then branch further into alveolar ducts and individual alveoli . Respiratory bronchioles are similar in most respects to terminal bronchioles except for the presence of scattered alveoli along their length . Diagram shows the branching relationship , as well as the pulmonary blood vessels that travel with the bronchioles and the dense layer of branching capillaries that surrounds each alveolus for gas exchange between blood and air . The micrograph shows the branching nature of the bronchioles in two dimensions . X60 . H&E . SEM shows in three dimensions the relationship of alveoli to terminal and respiratory bronchioles . X180 . Alveolar Ducts Proceeding distally along the respiratory bronchioles , the number of alveolar openings in the bronchiolar wall slowly increases . Respiratory bronchioles branch into tubes called alveolar ducts that are completely lined by the openings of alveoli ( Figure 17 โ 12 ) . Both the alveolar ducts and the alveoli are lined with extremely attenuated squamous alveolar cells . In the lamina propria surrounding the rim of the alveoli is a thin network of smooth muscle cells , which disappears at the distal ends of alveolar ducts . A rich matrix of elastic and collagen fibers provides the only support of the duct and its alveoli . Figure 17 โ 12 . Respiratory bronchioles , alveolar ducts , and alveoli . Lung tissue has a spongy structure because of the abundant air passages and pockets called alveoli . Typical section of lung tissue including many bronchioles , some of which are respiratory bronchioles ( RB ) cut lengthwise , and showing the branching continuity with alveolar ducts ( AD ) and sacs ( AS ) . Respiratory bronchioles still have a layer of smooth muscle and some regions of cuboidal epithelium , but alveolar ducts have only sparse strands of smooth muscle and an epithelium consisting of only a series of neighboring alveoli . The smooth muscle fibers are sphincter - like and appear as knobs between adjacent alveoli . Individual alveoli ( A ) all open to Higher magnification shows the relationship of the many rounded , thin - walled alveoli ( A ) to alveolar ducts ( AD ) . Alveolar ducts end in two or more clusters of alveoli called alveolar sacs ( AS ) . Those alveoli shown here that do not show openings to the ducts or the sacs have their connections in adjacent planes of other sections . X140 . H&E . Alveolar ducts open into atria of two or more alveolar sacs ( Figure 17 โ 12 ) . Elastic and reticular fibers form a network encircling the openings of atria , alveolar sacs , and alveoli . The elastic fibers enable the alveoli to expand with inspiration and to contract passively with expiration . The reticular fibers serve as a support that prevents overdistention and damage to the delicate capillaries and thin alveolar septa . Both fibers contribute to the connective tissue housing the network of capillaries around each alveolus . Alveoli Alveoli are saclike evaginations ( about 200 m in diameter ) of the respiratory bronchioles , alveolar ducts , and alveolar sacs . Alveoli are responsible for the spongy structure of the lungs ( Figures 17 โ 11 and 17 โ 12 ) . Structurally , alveoli resemble small pockets that are open on one side , similar to the honeycombs of a beehive . Within these cuplike structures , O and CO are exchanged between the air and the blood . The structure of alveolar walls is specialized to enhance diffusion between the external and internal environments . Generally , each wall lies between two neighboring alveoli and is therefore called an interalveolar septum . These septa contain the cells and ECM of connective tissue , notably the elastic and collagen fibers , which is vascularized with the richest capillary network in the body ( Figure 17 โ 11 ) . Air in the alveoli is separated from capillary blood by three components referred to collectively as the respiratory membrane or blood - air barrier : Surface lining and cytoplasm of the alveolar cells , Fused basal laminae of the closely apposed alveolar cells and capillary endothelial cells , and Cytoplasm of the endothelial cells ( Figures 17 โ 13 , 17 โ 14 , and 17 โ 15 ) . Figure 17 โ 13 . Alveoli and the blood - air barrier . Gas exchange between air and blood occurs at a membranous barrier between each alveolus and the capillaries surrounding it . The total area of this air - blood barrier in each lung has been calculated at approximately 70 m Diagram shows the relationship between capillaries and two or more saclike alveoli . The air - blood barrier consists of an alveolar type I cell , a capillary endothelial cell , and their fused basement membranes . Oxygen diffuses from alveolar air into capillary blood and carbon dioxide moves in the opposite direction . The inner lining of alveoli is covered by a layer of surfactant , not depicted here , which lowers fluid surface tension and helps prevent collapse of alveoli . Figure 17 โ 14 . Alveolar walls . The wall between alveoli ( A ) contains several cell types . As seen here the capillaries ( C ) contain erythrocytes and leu kocytes . The alveoli are lined mainly by squamous type I alveolar cells ( I ) , which line almost the entire alveolus surface and across which gas exchange occurs . Type II alveolar cells line a bit of each alveolus and are large rounded cells , often bulging into the alveolus ( II ) . These type II cells have many functions of Clara cells , including production of surfactant . Also present are alveolar macrophages ( M ) , sometimes called dust cells , which may be in the alveoli or in the interalveolar septa . Figure 17 โ 15 . Ultrastructure of the blood - air barrier . TEM of a transversely sectioned capillary ( C ) in an interalveolar septum shows areas for gas exchange between blood and air in three alveoli ( A ) . The endothelium is extremely thin but not fenestrated and its basal lamina fuses with that of the alveolar cells . A fibroblast ( F ) can be seen in the septum and the thickened nuclear regions of two endothelial cells ( E ) are also included . The nucleus at the bottom belongs to an endothelial cell or a circulating leukocyte . X30 , 000 . The total thickness of these layers varies from 0.1 to 1.5 m . Within the interalveolar septum , densely anastomosing pulmonary capillaries are supported by the meshwork of reticular and elastic fibers , which are the primary structural support of the alveoli . Macrophages and other leukocytes can also be found within the interstitium of the septum ( Figures 17 โ 13 and 17 - 14 ) . The basal laminae of the capillary endothelial cells and the epithelial ( alveolar ) cells fuse as a single membranous structure ( Figures 17 โ 13 and 17 โ 15 ) . Pores 10 โ 15 m in diameter occur in the interalveolar septum ( Figure 17 โ 13 ) and connect neighboring alveoli opening to different bronchioles . These pores equalize air pressure in the alveoli and promote collateral circulation of air when a bronchiole is obstructed . O from the alveolar air passes into the capillary blood through the blood - air barrier ; CO diffuses in the opposite direction . Liberation of CO from H CO 3 is catalyzed by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase present in erythrocytes . The approximately 300 million alveoli in the lungs provide a vast internal surface for gas exchange , which has been calculated to be approximately 140 m Capillary endothelial cells are extremely thin and can be easily confused with type I alveolar epithelial cells . The endothelial lining of the capillaries is continuous and not fenestrated ( Figure 17 โ 15 ) . Clustering of the nuclei and other organelles allows the remaining areas of the cell to become extremely thin , increasing the efficiency of gas exchange . The most prominent feature of the cytoplasm in the flattened portions of the cell are numerous pinocytotic vesicles . Type I alveolar cells ( also called type I pneumocytes or squamous alveolar cells ) are extremely attenuated cells that line the alveolar surfaces . Type I cells cover 97 % of the alveolar surface ( type II cells covering the remainder ) . These cells are so thin ( sometimes only 25 nm ) that the electron microscope was needed to prove that all alveoli are covered with an epithelial lining ( Figure 17 โ 15 ) . Organelles such as the ER , Golgi apparatus , and mitochondria are grouped around the nucleus , leaving large areas of cytoplasm virtually free of Figure 17 โ 16 . Ultrastructure of type II alveolar cells . TEM of a type II alveolar cell protruding into the alveolar lumen shows unusual cytoplasmic features . Arrows indicate lamellar bodies which store newly synthesized pulmonary surfactant after processing of its components in rough ER ( RER ) and the Golgi apparatus ( G ) . Smaller multivesicular bodies with intralumenal vesicles are also often present . Short microvilli are present and the type II cell is attached via junctional complexes ( JC ) with the adjacent , very thin type I epithelial cell . The ECM contains prominent reticular fibers ( RF ) . X17 , 000 . ( Reproduced , with permission from Dr . Mary C . Williams , Pulmonary Center and Department of Anatomy , Boston University School of Medicine . ) Type II alveolar cells ( type II pneumocytes ) are interspersed among the type I alveolar cells with which they have occluding and desmosomal junctions ( Figure 17 โ 16 ) . Type II cells are rounded cells that often occur in groups of two or three along the alveolar surface at points where the alveolar walls unite . These cells rest on the basement membrane and are part of the epithelium , with the same origin as the type I cells that line the alveolar walls . They divide by mitosis to replace their own population and also the type I population . lamellar bodies ( Figures 17 โ 16 and 17 โ 17 ) that are best preserved and evident in tissue prepared for electron microscopy . Lamellar bodies , which average 1 โ 2 m in diameter , contain concentric or parallel lamellae limited by a unit membrane . Histochemical studies show that these bodies , which contain phospholipids , glycosaminoglycans , and proteins , are continuously synthesized and released at the apical surface of the cells . The lamellar bodies give rise to a material that spreads over the alveolar surfaces as the pulmonary surfactant , providing an extracellular coating that lowers surface tension . Figure 17 โ 17 . Type II alveolar cell function . Diagram illustrates secretion of surfactant by a type II cell . Surfactant contains protein - lipid complexes synthesized initially in the ER and Golgi , with further processing and storage in large organelles called lamellar bo dies . Multivesicular bodies are organelles smaller than most lamellar bodies that are frequently seen in type II alveolar cells . Such bodies form when the membrane components of an early endosome are sorted , invaginate , and pinch off into smaller vesicles inside the endosome ' s lumen . Multivesicular bodies interact with Golgi complexes , with some or most intralumenal vesicle components being ubiquinated for degradation while other components and the surrounding membrane are recycled to the cell membrane , or in the case of type II alveolar cells , first added to the content of lamellar bodies Surfactant consists of an aqueous hypophase covered with a monomolecular phospholipid film composed mainly of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylglycerol ( Figure 17 โ 17 ) . Surfactant also contains several specific proteins . Pulmonary surfactant serves several major functions in the economy of the lung , but acts primarily to reduce the surface tension on the alveoli . The reduction of surface tension means that less inspiratory force is needed to inflate the alveoli , easing the work of breathing . Without surfactant , alveoli would tend to collapse during expiration . In fetal development , surfactant appears in the last weeks of gestation as lamellar bodies develop in the type II cells . Respiratory distress syndrome ( RDS ) of the newborn is a life - threatening disorder of the lungs caused by a deficiency of surfactant . It is principally associated with prematurity and is the leading cause of mortality among premature infants . The incidence of respiratory distress syndrome varies inversely with gestation age . The immature lung is deficient in both the amount and composition of surfactant . In the normal newborn , the onset of breathing is associated with a massive release of stored surfactant , which reduces the surface tension of the alveolar cells . This means that less inspiratory force is needed to The surfactant layer is not static but is constantly being turned over . The lipoproteins are gradually removed by pinocytosis in both types of alveolar cells and by macrophages . Alveolar macrophages , also called dust cells , are found in alveoli and in the interalveolar septum ( Figures 17 โ 13 and 17 โ 14 ) . Tens of millions of monocytes migrate daily from the microvasculature into the lung tissue , where they phagocytose erythrocytes lost from damaged capillaries and air - borne particulate matter that has entered alveoli . Some debris within these cells was most likely passed from the alveolar lumen into the interstitium following the pinocytotic activity of type I alveolar cells . Active macrophages in lung are often slightly darker due to their content of dust Alveolar lining fluids are also removed via the conducting passages as a result of ciliary activity . As the secretions pass up through the airways , they combine with bronchial mucus , forming bronchoalveolar fluid , which aids in the removal of particulate components brought in with inspired air . The bronchoalveolar fluid contains several lytic enzymes ( eg , lysozyme , collagenase , - glucuronidase ) that are derived from Clara cells , type II cells , and alveolar macrophages . In congestive heart failure , the lungs become congested with blood , and erythrocytes pass into the alveoli , where they are phagocytized by alveolar macrophages . In such cases , these macrophages are called heart failure cells when present in the lung and sputum ; they are identified by a positive histochemical reaction for iron pigment ( hemosiderin ) . Increased production of type I collagen is common , and many diseases that lead to respiratory distress are known to be associated with lung f ibrosis . Regeneration in the Alveolar Lining Inhalation of toxic gases or similar materials can kill type I and type II cells lining pulmonary alveoli . Death of the first cells results in increased mitotic activity in the remaining type II cells , the proge ny of which become both cell types . The normal turnover rate of type II cells is estimated to be 1 % per day and results in a continuous renewal of both alveolar cells . With increased toxic stress Clara cells can also divide and give rise to alveolar cells . Emphysema is a chronic lung disease characterized by enlargement of the air space distal to the bronchioles , with destruction of the interalveolar wall . Emphysema usually develops gradually and results in respiratory insufficiency . The major cause of emphysema is cigarette smoking . Even moderate emphysema is rare in nonsmokers . Irritation produced by cigarette smoking stimulates the destruction , or impairs the synthesis , of elastic fibers and other components of the interalveolar septum . Pulmonary Vasculature & Nerves Circulation in the lungs includes both nutrient ( systemic ) and functional ( pulmonary ) vessels . Pulmonary arteries and veins represent the functional circulation and the arteries are relatively thin - walled as a result of the low pressures ( 25 mm Hg systolic , 5 mm Hg diastolic ) encountered in the pulmonary circuit . Within the lung the pulmonary artery branches and accompanies the bronchial tree ( Figures 17 โ 11 and 17 โ 12 ) , with its branches surrounded by adventitia of the bronchi and bronchioles . At the level of the alveolar duct , the branches of this artery form the capillary network in the interalveolar septum and in close contact with the alveoli . The lung has the best - developed capillary network of any organ , with Venules that originate in the capillary network are found singly in the parenchyma , somewhat removed from the airways ( Figures 17 โ 11 and 17 โ 12 ) , supported by a thin covering of connective tissue . After veins leave a lobule , they follow the bronchial tree toward the hilum . Nutrient vessels follow the bronchial tree and distribute blood to most of the lung up to the respiratory bronchioles , at which point they anastomose with s mall branches of the pulmonary artery . The lymphatic vessels originate in the connective tissue of bronchioles . They follow the bronchioles , bronchi , and pulmonary vessels and all drain into lymph nodes in the region of the hilum . This lymphatic network is called the deep network to distinguish it from the superficial network of lymphatic vessels in the visceral pleura . Both networks drain toward the hilum , either following the entire length of the pleura or after entering lung tissue via the interlobular septa . Lymphatic vessels are not found in the terminal portions of the bronchial tree beyond the alveolar ducts . Both parasympathetic and sympathetic efferent fibers innervate the lungs and general visceral afferent fibers , carrying poorly localized pain se nsations , are also present . Most of the nerves are found in the connective tissue surrounding the larger airways . Pleura The lung ' s outer surface and the internal wall of the thoracic cavity are covered by a serous membrane called the pleura ( Figure 17 โ 18 ) . The membrane attached to lung tissue is called the visceral pleura and the membrane lining the thoracic walls is the parietal pleura . The two layers are continuous at the hilum and are both composed of simple squamous mesothelial cells on a thin connective tissue layer containing collagen and elastic fibers . The elastic fibers of the visceral pleura are continuous with those of the pulmonary parenchyma . Figure 17 โ 18 . The pleura are serous membranes ( serosa ) associated with each lung and thoracic cavity . Diagram illustrates the parietal pleura lining the inner surface of the thoracic cavity and the visceral pleura covering the outer surface of the lung . Between these layers is the narrow space of the pleural cavity . Both layers are similar histogically and consist of a simple squamous mesothelium ( M ) on a thin layer of connective tissue , as shown here for visceral pleura covering alveoli ( A ) . The connective tissue is rich in both collagen and elastic fibers and contains both blood vessels ( V ) and lymphatics ( L ) . X140 . The narrow pleural cavity ( Figure 17 โ 18 ) between the parietal and visceral layers is entirely lined with mesothelial cells that normally produce a thin film of serous fluid that acts as a lubricant , facilitating the smooth sliding of one surface over the other during respiratory movements . In certain pathologic states , the pleural cavity may contai n liquid or air . Like the walls of the peritoneal and pericardial cavities , the serosa of the pleural cavity is quite permeable to water and fluid exuded from blood plasma commonly accumulates ( as a pleural effusion ) in this cavity under abnormal conditions . Respiratory Movements During inhalation , contraction of the intercostal muscles elevates the ribs and contraction of the diaphragm lowers the bottom of the thoracic cavity , increasing its diameter and resulting in pulmonary expansion . The bronchi and bronchioles increase in diameter and length during inhalation . The respiratory portion also enlarges , mainly as a result of expansion of the alveolar ducts . Individual alveoli enlarge only slightly . The elastic fibers of the pulmonary parenchyma are stretched by this expansion . During exhalation , the lungs retract passively due to muscle relaxation and the elastic fibers ' return to the unstretched condition . Squamous cell carcinoma , the principal lung tumor type , usually results from the effects of cigarette smoking on the bronchial and bronchiolar epithelial lining . Chronic smoking induces the transformation of the respiratory epithelium into a stratified squamous epithelium , an initial step in its eventual differentiation into a tumor . | [

The club was formed in 1890 , adopting a patch of land in Raemoss Park as their home . This was renamed Recreation Park and opened in 1891 . The club joined the six team Aberdeenshire League in 1900 . They remained playing at this level until the early 1930s when they stepped up to the Highland League , regarded as the strongest of the competitions outside the Scottish League itself . The โ Blue Toon โ achieved very little prior to the Second World War , the only trophy in their cabinet being the Aberdeenshire Cup won in 1906 , 1935 and 1936 . In 1923 - 24 they were drawn against Aberdeen in the Scottish FA Cup : the committee accepted ยฃ 300 to switch the tie to Pittodrie but the players walked out in protest . A scratch team was put out and lost 0 - 13 , the club โ s heaviest ever defeat . A crest appeared in 1947 - 48 : details are sketchy but it is known this had the letters " PFC " arranged in a triangle on a shield . This was revived in the early 1960s . ( The version presented here is provisional . ) In 1947 , Peterhead won the Qualifying Cup ( North ) and the Highland League , both for the first time . They finished as runners - up in 1948 and then won two more championships in successive seasons . Decline followed and when the 1954 - 55 season was abandoned due to the severe winter weather , the club faced bankruptcy and closure . During the close season a group of supporters took over and charged supporters 2 / 6d ( 12.5p ) each to become members . The reformed Peterhead continued in the Highland League as a modest During the 1960s , Peterhead won the Highland League Cup on three occasions and the Aberdeenshire Cup five times but they made little impact in the Highland League itself . The pattern continued in the 1970s , with three wins in the Qualifying Cup ( North ) , which led to the club competing in the Scottish Cup . In 1984 Peterhead were once again facing oblivion over a financial crisis precipitated by the failure to properly pay tax on players โ wages . Their debts totaled ยฃ 60,000 , nothing by the standards of Scottish League clubs but for a modest , part - time Highland League side , this was big deal . The president and the management committee resigned to make way for a new team who became known as โ the trouble shooters . โ With no assets on which to raise funds ( the club did not own their ground ) , the committee The following season , the Blue Toon enjoyed a memorable run in the Scottish Cup , disposing of Clyde and then taking Raith Rovers to a third replay in the third round . In 1989 , Peterhead won the Highland League title for the first time since 1950 , followed by the Highland League Cup the following season . To celebrate this achievement a brand new crest was introduced . In 1993 the club became a limited company ( it had previously been run as a club owned by its members who would have been liable between them for the club โ s debts in full if it had become insolvent ) . A new board made additional funding available to strengthen the team although results remained disappointing . A modern crest was designed to mark the change of status . In 1996 proposals to redevelop Recreation Park as a supermarket were finally approved by the district council . The following season , Peterhead played all their opening games away from home while their new Balmoor Stadium was prepared . In 1999 they won their fifth Highland League championship . In 2000 the Scottish League was restructured when the Scottish Premier League was extended to twelve clubs , creating two vacancies in the Third Division ( fourth tier ) . Peterhead were elected , joining former Highland League sides Caledonian Thistle and Ross County ( who had been elevated to the SFL in 1994 ) . On the second ballot , Elgin City were also elected . While the Highland League was weaker for the loss of five of its strongest sides , the Scottish Football League was now a far more โ national โ competition than at any time The excellent facilities at Balmoor were influential in the decision to accept the Blue Toon into the SFL and later a new stand was built . After five seasons , Peterhead won promotion to the Second Division ( third level ) for the first time . Peterhead ' s first honour since joining the SFL came in 2013 - 14 when they won the Scottish Division Two title . You are welcome to Contact Me with corrections and additions .

They can quote his order : โ He that will not work shall not eat . โ But few know that Smith โ s adventures started years before Jamestown . Born in 1580 in Willoughby , England , Smith left home at age 16 after his father died . He joined volunteers in France who were fighting for Dutch independence from Spain . Two years later , he set off for the Mediterranean Sea as a sailor on a merchant ship . In 1600 he joined Austrian forces to fight the Turks in the โ Long War . โ A valiant soldier , he was promoted to captain while fighting in Hungary . He was fighting in Transylvania in 1602 when he was wounded in battle , captured , and Restless in England , Smith became actively involved with plans by the Virginia Company to colonize Virginia for profit . Smith was on the fleet of three ships that set sail December 20 , 1606 , and during the four - month voyage was charged with mutiny by the leader of the expedition , Captain Christopher Newport . Smith was a prisoner when the ships reached Virginia in April 1607 โ but was released when the other colony leaders opened orders from the Virginia Company and discovered Smith was to be on the governing council . The colony struggled to On September 10 , 1608 , Smith became president of the council for the colony . He installed a policy of rigid discipline , strengthened defenses , and encouraged farming with his order that all must work or face starvation . Smith had settlers dig the first well inside the fort ( and Jamestown Rediscovery archaeologists have found that well and the many unique artifacts it held when it became a trash pit ) . Smith ordered the repair of many buildings and the expansion of the fort into a five - sided structure , which archaeologists have also traced . Smith also led the first English explorations of the Chesapeake Bay and was almost killed by a ray on the first of the two expeditions . Smith โ s strong leadership helped the colony survive and grow but also made him enemies within the fort . As he slept in a boat in the Smith produced some of the most detailed reports about early Virginia , such as True Relation of Virginia in 1608 , Map of Virginia in 1612 , Generall Historie of Virginia ( beginning in 1624 , there were six editions in eight years ) , and True Travels in 1630 . Recent archaeology at the original fort site has confirmed some of his most famous details . Smith died in England in 1631 at age 51 .

Because speakers generally do not know the full vocabularies of their language . When there is a large set of uncommon vocabulary words one does not know the definitions of at all , and another large set one has only a vague impression of , one is very likely to both commit usage errors , and to transmit ( and thus reinforce ) the errors of others . Sometimes people also intentionally " misuse " words . Honestly , I think the surprise is not that language changes over time , but that it does not change more than it seems to .

http://history-behind-game-of-thrones.com/historical-periods/the-unsullied-sparta | By Jamie Adair Ancient History Historical Periods July 11 , 2013 Sparta : The Inspiration Behind the Unsullied ? Recently , in the comments of this post , โ K . Wolf โ asked if I take requests ( I do ) and if I could write an article about the Unsullied . He wrote , โ I read book 3 < Storm of Swords > and I was wondering about the Unsullied . Their training seemed unbelievably cruel and I was wondering if that was based on real history . โ There are many parallels between the Unsullied , the disciplined eunuch - warrior slaves , and Spartan history . In fact , there are so many similarities it seems likely George RR Martin may have based the Unsullied on the ancient Spartans , the fiercely disciplined military society in Ancient Greece . But , first let โ s recap the Unsullied in Game of Thrones ( Season 3 ) . To build up her army , Daenerys travels to Astaport to buy 8,000 Unsullied slaves . The Unsullied soldiers are unquestioningly , unflinchingly obedient to whomever holds the scourge , the symbol of their ownership . The Unsullied will stand at attention for hours โ like bricks โ until , if not dismissed , they faint or die . These exceptional warriors are the only non - mounted soldiers who proved a worthy adversary to the Dothraki . ยฉ HBO The Unsullied โ s military excellence comes at a price though . Their severe training begins at age five when the slavers eviscerate any sense of self - determination from them along with their genitals . After they are castrated , each boy is then given a puppy to raise . After a year , the slavers order the boy to kill the puppy . If the boy refuses , he is killed and fed to the surviving dogs . The Unsullied training is uncompromising and lethal : only one in three boys survive . Is there a historical precedent for such a cruel training regimen ? Yes , the training of young boys in Ancient Sparta mirrors that of the Unsullied . Ancient Sparta . Source : Created by Marsyas on Wikipedia . Licensed through Creative Commons . Sparta was a city - state in Ancient Greece who achieved military dominance from roughly 650 to 371 BC . The Spartans , the army , and their training practices were so tough they reverberate through the ages . Even over 2300 years since the Spartan society fell into decline , we are still fascinated by them and immortalize them in films such as 300 Sparta was , arguably , the first democracy . Women were equals and ran Sparta while men were at war . The Spartan army comprised men from the ancient Greek city - state of Sparta . Spartans lived in a militarized culture . Their highest value was not human life or compassion but military prowess , and they constructed their society to achieve it . Like the Unsullied , the Spartan training regimen was staggeringly bloody , unrelenting , and remorseless . However , unlike the Unsullied who were slaves , only sons of Spartan citizens had the โ honor โ of joining their prestigious military , which leaders throughout Greece revered . Vetting boys for the army started shortly after birth : sons who were not good enough were killed . To begin , the Spartan mothers bathed their male sons in wine . If the baby survived , the father brought him to the Spartan elders โ council , the Gerousia , who determined if the baby was worthy of the Spartan militia and healthy enough to survive the training . If deemed the baby unfit , the child was tossed into a chasm by Mount Taygetus , left to die of exposure , or made into a slave . If the Gerousia let the baby live , mothers were told not to coddle the boy or indulge his fears of the dark or being left alone and to feed him plain food . The mothers also continued bathing their sons in wine โ possibly because they believed the wine tempered healthy babies and triggered convulsions in babies with epilepsy or other health issues . Once training began , the Spartan boys โ physical world was cold and had little ease . They wore almost no clothing , even in the winter , so they would become accustomed to extreme temperatures . While training , they were essentially naked and barefoot . Given scant comfort , they slept on reed mattresses without much to keep them warm , except maybe thistledown . The Spartan boys were not fed enough . The trainers deliberately gave the boys subsistence portions to teach the boys how to endure hunger when the army was on the march . However , the trainers let them steal food , but flogged them if they were caught โ not for theft but for failing to be stealthy . The Unsullied , incidentally , are not permitted to steal . On left , a possibly unlucky Spartan โ s helmet โ note the dent . There are some similarities between this helmet and the helmets of the Unsullied on the left . Spartan helmet exhibited at the British Museum , photo by John Antoni : licensed under Creative Commons . Image of the Unsullied via Wikia , ยฉ HBO . According to historian David George , the entire Spartan society conspired to strip the Spartans of their identity . Likewise , the slavers ensured the Unsullied felt worthless . Every morning , the Unsullied had to draw a new , demeaning name based on vermin , such as Grey Worm . By the time Daenerys lets them select a new name , some can no longer remember their birth name โ that โ s how blurred their identity had become . Another value the Unsullied and Spartans share is a refusal or resistance to acknowledging pain . In Season 3 , Kraznys cuts the nipple off an Unsullied soldier : the soldier does not even flinch . Daenerys is amazed . In Storm of Swords , Daenerys is told the Unsullied drink the wine of courage with every meal โ from the time they are cut . โ This nightshade concoction makes them feel less pain as each year passes . Ancient Sparta did not have the wine of courage , but military trainers strongly encouraged Spartan boys not to cry out or reveal pain . Every year , the Spartans held a combination of an endurance and bravery contest and a religious ritual , known as diamastigosis , in which Spartan boys competed to see who could withstand flogging the longest without screaming or passing out . Men flogged the Spartan boys before an altar Artemis Orthia sanctuary . Each boy โ s family cheered their son on , shouting encouragement not to pass out . The boy who stood the longest was highly honored . Sometimes , however , boys died during this extreme contest . Spartans subordinated every desire to the state goal of military dominance . Spartan deference to the state was so extreme that men let physically superior ( younger , fitter ) men impregnate their wives so the women would give birth to the strongest sons possible . The number of children Spartans could have was limited and men could n โ t live with their wives until they were thirty , when military service ended . In Sparta , the slaves , who could live with their wives and have unlimited children , had more freedom than the Spartans themselves In contrast , the slavers of Astapor do not prize strength in the Unsullied as much as discipline . Because the slavers fully castrate the boys , the boys will never grow as strong as intact men . Spartan dominance eventually declined for a variety of reasons . They refused to innovate their military tactics to offset improved battle strategies by their opponents . The Spartans numbers also dwindled because they would not permit anyone to earn citizenship who was n โ t born to it and yet they threw citizens out of the military . By 371 BC , the Thebans crushed the Spartans at the Battle of Leuctra . The next year , the Thebans marched on Sparta and freed the Helots who had been enslaved for centuries .

I โ ll change the article . ( BTW , I hope it is okay that I mentioned you and your comment in the article . I thought it might be all right since you made the comment publicly . ) Jaime Adair When I wrote this article , I found myself questioning our ( society โ s ) lionization of the Spartans . We name football teams after them ( e.g. , the Michigan State Spartans ) , we make movies about them ( โ 300 โ and others ) , laconic is a good word , and the word โ Spartan โ is even taking on a positive connotation โ at least for dรฉcor . Is our admiration of the Spartans a good thing ? After all , they practiced eugenics , killed babies , and valued lethal military prowess above all it seems . Anyone โ any thoughts on any of this ? Any thoughts on what draws us to the Spartans ? Is it simple respect for excellence , or is it something darker than that ? KWolf I think Spartan โ s are โ Cool โ . Despite the reality of what there lives are like . They focus on the romantic version of them . Elite , highly trained and skilled super soldiers . The 300 story about them holding off a much larger force really sealed the deal for their popularity . They were hard people who were best there society had to offer . The name spartan โ s even sounds cool too . Which is why the Halo games called there super soldiers Spartans and their is even an obstacle course named after July 13 , 2013 Yeah , I hate to admit it , but I think the Spartans are cool too , or something . I โ m not sure what . I think their dedication to excellence is inspiring . But , is dedication to excellence really a good thing when it is excellence in killing people ? July 16 , 2013 Anonymous I enjoy reading your posts . I โ m not sure that I agree with you that the Unsullied are based on the Spartans . Would a better comparison perhaps be the Mamluks , the great medieval slave army that defeated the Mongols and the Crusaders ? It would seem to make more sense , especially as the Spartans took great pride in themselves and their status and themselves enslaved a whole group people they defeated in battle ( helots ) . July 16 , 2013 Hey Anonymous , That is a great disagreement โ I love it . I โ ve heard of the โ Mamluks โ before , but I do n โ t know anything about them . But , the idea of a real - life slave army is really powerful . Imagine , forcing slaves to fight to the death for causes they do n โ t believe in . It is almost like saying : 1 . โ You can either be killed or be a slave . โ 2 . Then , when they agree to be a slave saying , โ You can either be killed now ( if you refuse our order to fight ) or be killed later in battle . โ I realize many people over the centuries have been compelled to fight in an army , but the idea of a real - life slave army is something else . Also , the timeline fits better . George RR Martin acknowledges that he draws on the crusades in Game of Thrones . re : your point about the Spartans enslaving defeated people That โ s a great point because the Spartans did n โ t deem the Helots to be worthy of being a warrior . In Spartan culture , it was the ultimate privilege to be in the army . Only citizens could become Spartan soldiers . While the Spartan culture was , at least according to some scholars , constructed around subsuming individuality into the goals of the state , the Spartans had pretty high self - esteem I think . However , in Game of Thrones , Unsullied soldiers had been stripped of their self - worth . Thanks for making this comment โ it is fantastic . If I can get some good information about the Mamluks , I may try writing a blog post about them . June 29 , 2014 Anonymous Thing with the mamlucks was that if they survived long enough they got their freedom . And sometimes they got really rich too . July 15 , 2016 Blank I enjoyed your article but I think that the unsullied are more like the jannisaries of the Byzantine empire . Much like the unskilled they were taken from birth and castrated and grew up learning how to fight . The jannisaries also could be sold as an army July 27 , 2016 Jamie Adair Thanks for commenting . I โ ve received many comments from people who feel that the Unsullied are closer to the Mamluks or the Janissaries . I tend to think that GRRM creates his characters and cultures from a mixture of historical people and events . I do think he may have found some inspiration in the Spartan โ s training , but I think it is just as likely he also found inspiration in the Mamluks or Janissaries or all three and possibly some other things . He sometimes weaves in literary allusions or even pop culture ones ( July 21 , 2013 The Unsullied and the Battle of Thermopylae | The History Behind Game of Thrones [ โฆ ] somebody posted a compelling comment that maybe the Unsullied were n โ t based on the Spartans but were based on the Mamluks .

July 14 , 2015 rosswittenham That point about Spartans letting younger men sleep with their wives is really interesting . Younger men are genetically more likely to produce sons than older men . I wonder if this was something they were aware of . July 16 , 2015 Hmmm โฆ They might have noticed a pattern over time . I definitely think that might be possible โ although ( thinking aloud ) it would have to be a pretty dramatic pattern for it to be obvious . But , I do think that pre - modern people were significantly more observant about patterns in nature than we are today , so maybe it โ s not inconceivable . Intriguing observation , Ross . August 2 , 2015 A Murray I favour the Mamluk / janissaries angle , the enslavement , discipline & espirit de corps all fit the bill . The castration element is unusual , in that it is counterproductive in melee based warfare to have soldiers that are not as physically developed as men that have gone through puberty . I believe there are some examples of eunuch generals in Byzantium & Moghul India ; but another castrated character , Varys is probably a more accurate representation of the role eunuchs played in history . Back to Sparta ; I think the popular perception of Sparta and Spartans has been shaped by movies like 300 which paints them as a freedom loving people , neglecting to mention that Sparta was a slave state . Athenians are derided as โ boy lovers โ when in fact the Spartans also practised the Hellenic custom of pederasty and culture of homoeroticism , young Warriors were paired with elders to create a supportive dynamic , inspiring each other to feats of bravery & to remain on the battlefield ( as it would be shameful to flee if your lover Homosexuality is n โ t covered that much though in the Song , a relationship is hinted at between Renly & Ser Loras , there is the explicit physical relationship between Danerys & handmaiden , and the iron born engage in male rape , although the latter is more about asserting masculinity ( in Ancient Rome it was acceptable to penetrate another man , but not to be penetrated ) and power than any kind of relationship .

I am no expert on that period of history so can not make a judgement as to the book โ s veracity . I remember I thought it was a good read many years ago though it does n โ t have a conventionally happy ending . August 3 , 2015 Thanks Watcher . I had no idea that Robert Graves wrote a novel about Byzantium . I โ ll have to check it out when I get a moment . I just got his book about mythology and also The White Goddess . ( I have n โ t read either one yet . ) Hi A Murray , re : the Mamluks Yes , other people have suggested that as well , and I do n โ t disagree . GRRM usually draws from multiple sources for his characters and events . I definitely agree with your comment about Varys and eunuchs . Eunuchs have played an incredibly strong role in history , particularly in China and Byzantium ; it is nice that GRRM highlights this . I did n โ t realize that in Ancient Rome it was acceptable to penetrate but not be penetrated . This is very similar to the Vikings actually . They loathed the idea of submission . I think one reason homosexuality is n โ t covered that much in ASOIAF is because there are n โ t any exclusively homosexual characters who are point of view characters . Like you say , there are point of view characters who dabble in bisexuality though โ Cersei is one example that comes to mind . ( I do n โ t think this is technically a spoiler since that portion of the books has already made it to the screen . ) Thanks for this great comment ! December 16 , 2015 Ray Sorry to necro this thread , but I would like to agree with the idea that the unsullied are based on the Mamluks . It was a much larger phenomenon than that though . The Islamic world had multiple eras of large scale slave armies starting a little before the Sunni revival . This is from the wiki on the Safavid dynasty โฆ Therefore , in 1540 , Shah Tahmฤsp started the first of a series of invasions of the Caucasus region , both ment as a training and drilling for his soldiers , as well as mainly bringing back massive numbers of Christian Circassian and Georgian slaves , who would form the basis of a military slave system , [ 87 ] alike to the janissaries of the neighbouring Ottoman Empire , [ 88 ] as well as at the same time forming a new layer in Iranian society composed of ethnic Caucasians . At the fourth invasion in 1553 , it December 16 , 2015 That โ s a - okay . Feel free to revive old threads . I was n โ t aware there were so many slave armies . Thanks for clipping that bit of Wikipedia . It really amazes me that people could even fight effectively for their oppressors . But I guess if it was kill or be killed , the enslaved soldiers would certainly go through the motions . March 3 , 2016 Lea Thomsen Hey so I am history student and ancient greece was my major subject last semester and there are some things in this article I disagree with . first of all the spartans were not the first democracy not even arguably because there was no democracy in sparta sure there were some democratic aspects like that there in theory was a opportunity for them to vote about the things the efors and the gerousia decided but compared to Athen Sparta was not much of a democracy at all and is in recent studys categorized mostly as an oligarchy wiht democratic aspects . Second of all the warriors in sparta were the citizens which I find hard to compare to the slave soldiers from the unsullied , yes they were obligated to join the army and live in the symposion from age 7 till ( this can be argued ) but it is supposed age 30 might seem like they are slaves to the state . But at the same time it was not a choice to live or to die like it is presented in this article , if a spartan was not able to join or stay in the army fx Neither were the helots the spartan stateslaves originally wanted as spartan warriors . The helots in general belonged to a specific spot of land in sparta and to the family that lived on this land if a Spartan was sent to war he could bring / or would bring his helots to assist him in battle , but there is no evidence that the helots did actually fight . When sparta started to decline after the peloponesian war , they were in desperate need for new warriors so some scientist have argued that they used the โ dishonored โ former spartans and metics in their army but not the helot . overall this article seems to be based on the myth especially the romans liked to spread about sparta which was in fact one of the favorite holiday spots form romans to travel to . Spartan woman were NOT equal with spartan men they had arguably more rights than women in Athen but this again depends on which perspective you see it from . I therefore find it hard to see the connection between spartans and the unsullied . March 3 , 2016 Thanks for your comments and welcome . In Spartan culture , would men choose being dishonored over death ? July 14 , 2016 Michael I agree there are many aspects of the unsullied are similar to spartans but no slave would be so well equipped by a spartan they would look like squires next to a Sparton . The Hot Pass is important and there were 300 Spartons but there were 1000 - 2000 slaves fighting with them . The more important battle was marathon fought by potters , farmers , artists you know mainly the non warrior castes that spartons spit on . Plus the battles on sea were more important then the hot pass . I think martin does not want to No I argue this is daenerys โ s gordean knot . Alexander used spears too more effectivly then any sparton . Even the mild persian undertone to Slavers bay . Spartons would probably not elevate most men of different race either but Alexander would he would even make his capitol in their lands . Leonidas was a king but Daenerys is great . July 17 , 2016 Jan They do n โ t fight like Spartans phalanx , rather Impi ( Zulu ) or persian Immortals โฆ Unsullied helmet are similar to Polish hussar helmet . Many cultures i see here .

http://history-of-heels.weebly.com/origins-of-high-heels.html | Ancient Egyptian heeled shoes ( Source : nimmafashionsource . blogspot . com ) Ancient Egypt Dating back to 3500 B.C. , early depictions of high heels could be seen on ancient Egyptian murals . These murals would depict Egyptian nobilities wearing heels to set them apart from the lower class , who would normally go barefoot . Heeled shoes were worn by both men and women , and most commonly for ceremonial purposes . However , high heels also served a practical purpose for Egyptian butchers who wore them in order to walk over the bloodied bodies of animal carcasses . During Egyptian times , heels were leather pieces that were held together by lacing Ancient Roman & Greek Platform sandals called โ kothorni โ or โ buskins โ were shoes with high wooden cork soles worn during ancient Greek and Roman era . They were particularly popular among the actors who would wear them to differentiate the social classes and importance of each character . In ancient Rome , where sex trade was legal , high heels were used to identify those within the trade to potential clients and high heels became associated with prostitution . Kothorni / Buskins ( Source : nimmafashionsource . blogspot . com ) Chopines ( Source : batashoemuseum . ca ) Middle Ages During the Middle Ages , both men and women would wear โ pattens โ , which were wooden soles , attached to their shoes in order to keep their fragile and expensive footwear out of the mud and street debris . โ Chopines โ , or platform shoes , emerged during the 1400s in Turkey and became popular throughout Europe until mid - 1600s . Rising up to about 30 inches above ground , women who wore them required the use of canes or servants to assist them in walking . " Chopines " had the same practical use as pattens did , but was exclusively for women . This marked a point where heels were turning into an aesthetic object , instead of the earlier practical use . Feminism and Sexuality The Venetians established the Chopines as a prestigious representation of wealth and nobility , predominantly embellished with gold laces , embroidery and decorative leatherwork . However , the restrictions these heels created for women caused many to believe that these heels were invented by husbands who hoped the restricting movement required would make illegitimate affairs difficult . Women โ s rights issues surfaced here as high heels were beginning to become associated with male domination and female restriction . Historians contemplate the use of heeled shoes as a shackle rather than for aesthetic purposes , evident within Chinese concubines and Turkish odalisques who wore heels , in order to prevent them from fleeing the harem . Rise of High Heels as Fashion In the 1500s , shoes were made into two pieces , a movable upper piece attached to a fixed , stable sole . This new invention combined the heel to become part of the actual shoe rather than an attachable sole . The invention of heeled riding boots increased the mass popularity of heels within both male and female fashion . These โ rider โ s heel โ , which ranged from 1 to 1 and a half inches , prevented riders from slipping off their stirrups . These simple heels soon evolved into more stylized heels that became thinner 1533 saw the first women ' s heel designed to lengthen the legs . The invention of high heels as a fashion statement could be accredited to the rather petite Catherine de Medici who was engaged to the Duke of Orleans at the age of 14 . The Duke , who later became the King of France , was quite tall in contrast to de Medici โ s small stature . She felt insecure in comparison to the Duke โ s favorite mistress , Diane de Poitiers , who was relatively tall .

http://history-world.org/reconstruction_period.htm | The Black Codes Forum Weekly Poll Please Help Click Here RECONSTRUCTION PERIOD Various Authors Edited By : R . A . Guisepi The International History Project The Reconstruction Period , an Overview ( 1865 - 77 ) Reconstruction was a period in U.S. history during and after the American Civil War in which attempts were made to solve the political , social , and economic problems arising from the readmission to the Union of the 11 Confederate states that had seceded at or before the outbreak of war . As early as 1862 , Pres . Abraham Lincoln had appointed provisional military governors for Louisiana , Tennessee , and North Carolina . The following year , initial steps were taken to reestablish governments in newly occupied states in which at least 10 percent of the voting population had taken the prescribed oath of allegiance . Aware that the presidential plan omitted any provision for social or economic reconstruction , the Radical Republicans in Congress resented such a lenient political arrangement under solely executive jurisdiction . As a result , the stricter Wade - Davis Bill was passed in 1864 After Lincoln ' s assassination ( April 1865 ) , Pres . Andrew Johnson further alienated Congress by continuing Lincoln ' s moderate policies . The Fourteenth Amendment , defining national citizenship so as to include blacks , passed Congress in June 1866 and was ratified , despite rejection by most Southern states ( July 28 , 1868 ) . In response to Johnson ' s intemperate outbursts against the opposition as well as to several reactionary developments in the South ( e.g. , race riots and passage of the repugnant black codes severely restricting rights of blacks ) , That victory launched the era of congressional Reconstruction ( usually called Radical Reconstruction ) , which lasted 10 years starting with the Reconstruction Acts of 1867 . Under that legislation , the 10 remaining Southern states ( Tennessee had been readmitted to the Union in 1866 ) were divided into five military districts ; and , under supervision of the U.S. Army , all were readmitted between 1868 and 1870 . Each state had to accept the Fourteenth or , if readmitted after its passage , the Fifteenth Constitutional Amendment , intended to ensure civil rights of the freedmen .

http://history-world.org/reformation.htm | Martin Luther The Counter Reformation Calvinism THE REFORMATION Europe ' s Search For Stability One of the greatest of all revolutions was the 16th - century religious revolt known as the Reformation . This stormy , often brutal , conflict separated the Christians of Western Europe into Protestants and Catholics . So far - reaching were the results of the separation that the Reformation has been called a turning point in history . It ushered in the Modern Age because , once the people ' s religious unity was destroyed , they began to think in terms of their own regional interests . From the diversity of those interests arose new political , social Background of the Revolt At the start of the 16th century Western Europe had only one religion , Roman Catholicism . The Catholic church was rich and powerful and had preserved Europe ' s classical culture . However , despite General Councils called to impose reforms , disputes and lax practices had grown up within the church . Churchmen criticized the administration of the church and began to doubt some of its teachings . For example , the church insisted that it alone had the authority to interpret the meaning of the Bible for the people . As early as the 14th century , however , John Wycliffe , an English priest and teacher at Oxford University , declared that people had the right to read the Bible and interpret it for themselves . Despite protests by the church , followers of Wycliffe translated the Bible from Latin into English in 1382 and carried copies throughout the countryside Luther Sparks Revolt in Germany Luther became the leader of the Reformation in Germany . For some years he had protested that some of the clergy were selling indulgences ( temporal pardons of sins ) without making clear that people must also be sincerely repentant for those sins . He especially attacked the monk Johann Tetzel for deceiving the people . In 1517 the angry Luther wrote a list of 95 theses against indulgences and nailed them to the door of the church in Wittenberg . Luther developed new ideas opposed to the church . He rejected the authority of the pope and - - like Wycliffe and Hus before him - - set up the Bible as the sole source of Christian truth . He denied that priests had any power that laymen did not have . He declared that the vows taken by monks and nuns were not binding and that monasteries should be abolished . He rejected the celibacy of the clergy . Of the seven sacraments Luther kept only two - - baptism and the Lord ' s Supper ( Eucharist ) The Reformation Spreads When Pope Leo X condemned Luther ' s teachings in a bull , or papal decree , Luther subsequently burned the document and a copy of the church ' s canon law . Charles V , the Holy Roman emperor , ordered him to recant in 1521 . Luther declared he would not do so until he was " convinced by the testimony of the Scriptures . " Other scholars helped to spread the Reformation . Philipp Melanchthon , Luther ' s colleague at the University of Wittenberg , became the chief theologian of the Reformation in Germany . Johannes Reuchlin of Heidelberg enlarged the field of ideas by fostering the study of Hebrew and Greek . Knowledge of these ancient languages enabled people to read the Bible in its original forms . From Johannes Tauler of Strasbourg had come the mystic idea of " heart religion , " which had led to Luther ' s doctrine of " justification by faith . " Reformers in other lands were also zealous . Erasmus of Rotterdam , the great Dutch forerunner of Luther , spurred the study of the early church through his printed editions of the Greek New Testament and writings of the church fathers . Lefevre d ' Etaples of France and Huldrych Zwingli of Switzerland held views similar to Luther ' s . In England John Colet worked for reform within the church . John Calvin made Geneva the world center of the Presbyterian and Reformed churches Other Reasons for the Reformation The Reformation was partly an outgrowth of the Renaissance . The uneasy political situation in Europe also helped to extend the religious revolt because many local rulers wanted their independence from the emperor Charles V . Finally , many tradesmen and peasants were seeking more rights from rulers and landlords and resented the church because they believed that it favored their oppressors . Throughout Western Europe there was unrest . Luther ' s challenge of old religious doctrines and traditions became a rallying point for these forces of discontent and provided a motive for breaking established ties . Widely different groups - - from princes to peasants - - hailed him as their own special leader . Gradually , however , they all saw that he was not working for any special group , and so by 1530 many of his followers had drifted away from him . By that time , however , the Reformation had spread beyond the control even of Luther . Memorable Events in the Reformation Although the Reformation swept through all Western Europe , the most dramatic events of this great religious revolt took place in Germany . It was in Wittenberg , Saxony , that Luther posted his list of propositions ( 95 theses ) in 1517 and burned the papal bull in 1520 . A year later he was condemned by the Diet of Worms . In 1525 German nobles , encouraged by Luther , put down the Peasants ' Revolt . Another great event in the Reformation occurred in 1529 , when the word Protestant was first used formally . In Germany the Diet of Speyer decreed that changes of religion must stop and that the authority of the Catholic church be restored . The Lutheran minority in the Diet signed a protest against that decree , however . From this protest comes the modern term for the religious denominations of Protestantism The fury and suffering of war added to the turmoil of the Reformation through the end of the Thirty Years ' War in 1648 . Time and again Charles V fought to uphold the Holy Roman Empire and the Catholic church against the claims of France and the German princes . But he needed their aid as he battled the Muslims who had advanced to the doors of Germany . Then he fought the Schmalkaldic War ( 1546 - 47 ) . Although he defeated the Protestants , he could not turn back the movement of the Reformation . Peace treaties , however , followed the religious wars . The most important of these was the Peace of Augsburg in 1555 . By that treaty Charles V was at last forced to grant to the ruler of each German state the right to choose Catholicism or Lutheranism . The state ' s religion was still imposed by the ruler , but the treaty gave a temporary religious peace to Germany . The Lutheran faith spread chiefly in northern Germany and in Scandinavia . The Swiss were influenced early by Huldrych Zwingli , but like the French and Dutch they drew their Protestantism from a movement led by John Calvin a generation later . From this grew the zealous work of John Knox , who brought Presbyterianism to Scotland . The English Reformation began in 1533 when Henry VIII broke with the pope , who had refused to annul Henry ' s marriage to Catherine of Aragon . The introduction of Protestant doctrine in the Church of England , however , did The Catholic Counter - Reformation Catholic church authorities underestimated the extent of the Reformation at first , considering it just another dissension or schism . Soon , however , they saw the movement spreading from one country to another The church took action . From 1545 to 1563 the Council of Trent issued decrees to correct abuses and to reaffirm ancient doctrines and traditions . The most vigorous program was set up by the Society of Jesus , commonly called the Jesuits . This order was started in 1534 by Ignatius of Loyola , a Spanish nobleman and soldier who had become a monk . The Jesuit order was sanctioned by the pope in 1540 . A succession of able popes during the latter half of the 16th century followed the policy set in the Counter - Reformation . Their conscientious administrations removed much of the incentive to revolt . By the close of the 16th century the Roman Catholic church had regained the faith of the people in half of the lands it had lost to Protestantism . Europe was then divided between the two forms of Christianity along almost the same lines that exist today . Back to Main menu A project by History World International World History Center | [

http://history.co.uk/biographies/julius-caesar | Bios Julius Caesar Et tu , Brute ? But before his state - sanctioned murder , the statesman , general and dictator had conquered half the known world and still found time for a dalliance with Cleopatra . Julius Caesar was born in 100BC in Rome to a well known , but not rich family . The young Caesar left Rome for military service in Asia and Cilicia . When the dictator Sulla died , he returned , and began his political career as a prosecuting advocate . He travelled to Rhodes for philosophical studies and , on the way , was kidnapped by pirates . He convinced his captors to raise his ransom , then organised a naval force , captured the pirates and put them to death . He held a number of government positions under Pompey , and was elected consul in 60 BC . In 59 BC he also became governor of Gaul and Spain . In 55 BC he attempted an invasion of Britain . Three years later , in 52 BC , he defeated a union of Gauls . After defeating his former ally , Pompey , Caesar went on to Egypt , where he involved himself in upholding the rule of Cleopatra , with whom he had a son Caeserion . He was made dictator for life in 45 BC and was called Father of his Country ( Pater Patriae ) . The month of Quintilis was re - named in his honour , and continues to be known as July . He was also the author of a large body of important political writings . However , his apparent arrogance and ambition brought him great unpopularity and the suspicion of his peers . He made a number of political reforms , which served to give him more power and alienate his fellow senators . In 46 BC , he gave himself the title of ' Prefect of Morals ' , which meant he could hold censorial powers without being subjected to them himself . Caesar used this power to fill the senate with his own partisans , while setting the precedent of requiring the senate to bestow honours and titles upon him . Coins also bore the likeness of Caesar while he was given the right to speak first at assembly meetings . He also increased the number of magistrates and senators who could sit in the Senate . He also tried to transform Italy into a province . Caesar was assassinated in the Roman Senate on the Ides of March ( 15 March ) of 44 BC by a group of conspirators ( including his adopted son , Brutus ) who wanted to save Rome from his alleged monarchical ambitions . His famous last words were immortalised by Shakespeare as " You too , Brutus ? " . A bitter power struggle broke out after his death , which led to the end of the Roman Republic . Caesar had been popular with the middle and lower classes , who became angry that he had been killed by a small number of aristocrats . They turned into a mob at Caesar ' s funeral and attacked the homes of Brutus and Cassius . Caesar ' s heir Gaius Octavian , who was his great - grand nephew , played on this discontent and raised an army to fight the troops gathered by Brutus and Cassius . The 18 - year - old initially worked with Marc Antony to defeat this army . He then had to fight Antony who had teamed up with Cleopatra to make Egypt a base from which to take over Rome . They were defeated and Octavian became the first Roman emperor , taking the name Augustus . On 1 January 42 BC , Caesar became the first historical Roman to be deified , being granted the title ' the divine Julius ' posthumously by the Senate . | [

http://history.hanover.edu/courses/excerpts/161mill_util.html | Text from John Stuart Mill , Utilitarianism , Liberty & Representative Government ( London : J.M. Dent ; New York : E . P . Dutton , 1910 ) [ 5 ] CHAPTER II What Utilitarianism Is A passing remark is all that needs be given to the ignorant blunder of supposing that those who stand up for utility as the test of right and wrong , use the term in that restricted and merely colloquial sense in which utility is opposed to pleasure . An apology is due to the philosophical opponents of utilitarianism , for even the momentary appearance of confounding them with any one capable of so absurd a misconception ; which is the more extraordinary , inasmuch as the contrary accusation , of referring everything to pleasure , and that too in its [ 6 ] Yet the common herd , including the herd of writers , not only in newspapers and periodicals , but in books of weight and pretension , are perpetually falling into this shallow mistake . Having caught up the word utilitarian , while knowing nothing whatever about it but its sound , they habitually express by it the rejection , or the neglect , of pleasure in some of its forms ; of beauty , of ornament , or of amusement . Nor is the term thus ignorantly misapplied solely in disparagement , but occasionally in compliment ; The creed which accepts as the foundation of morals , Utility , or the Greatest Happiness Principle , holds that actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness , wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness . By happiness is intended pleasure , and the absence of pain ; by unhappiness , pain , and the privation of pleasure . To give a clear view of the moral standard set up by the theory , much more requires to be said ; in particular , what things it includes in the ideas of pain Now , such a theory of life excites in many minds , and among them in some of the most estimable in feeling and purpose , [ 7 ] inveterate dislike . To suppose that life has ( as they express it ) no higher end than pleasure - no better and nobler object of desire and pursuit - they designate as utterly mean and grovelling ; as a doctrine worthy only of swine , to whom the followers of Epicurus were , at a very early period , contemptuously likened ; and modern holders of the doctrine are occasionally made the subject of equally polite comparisons by its German , French , and English assailants . When thus attacked , the Epicureans have always answered , that it is not they , but their accusers , who represent human nature in a degrading light ; since the accusation supposes human beings to be capable of no pleasures except those of which swine are capable . If this supposition were true , the charge could not be gainsaid , but would then be no longer an imputation ; for if the sources of pleasure were precisely the same to human beings and to swine , the rule of life which is good enough for the one would kinds of pleasure are more desirable and more valuable than others . It would be absurd that while , in estimating all other things , quality is considered as well as quantity , the estimation of pleasures should be supposed to depend on quantity alone . [ 8 ] If I am asked , what I mean by difference of quality in pleasures , or what makes one pleasure more valuable than another , merely as a pleasure , except its being greater in amount , there is but one possible answer . Of two pleasures , if there be one to which all or almost all who have experience of both give a decided preference , irrespective of any feeling of moral obligation to prefer it , that is the more desirable pleasure . If one of the two is , by those who are Now it is an unquestionable fact that those who are equally acquainted with , and equally capable of appreciating and enjoying , both , do give a most marked preference to the manner of existence which employs their higher faculties . Few human creatures would consent to be changed into any of the lower animals , for a promise of the fullest allowance of a beast s pleasures ; no intelligent human being would consent to be a fool , no instructed person would be an ignoramus , no person of feeling and conscience would be selfish and base , [ 9 ] priate appellation is a sense of dignity , which all human beings possess in one form or other , and in some , though by no means in exact , proportion to their higher faculties , and which is so essential a part of the happiness of those in whom it is strong , that nothing which conflicts with it could be , otherwise than momentarily , an object of desire to them . Whoever supposes that this preference takes place at a sacrifice of happiness - that the superior being , in anything like equal circumstances It may be objected , that many who are capable of the higher pleasures , occasionally , under the influence of temptation , postpone them to the lower . But this is quite compatible with a full appreciation of the intrinsic superiority of the higher . Men often , from infirmity of character , make their election for the nearer good , though they know it to be the less valuable ; and this no less when the choice is between two bodily pleasures , than when it is between bodily and mental . They pursue sensual indulgences to the [ 10 ] occupations to which their position in life has devoted them , and the society into which it has thrown them , are not favourable to keeping that higher capacity in exercise . Men lose their high aspirations as they lose their intellectual tastes , because they have not time or opportunity for indulging them ; and they addict themselves to inferior pleasures , not because they deliberately prefer them , but because they are either the only ones to which they have access , or the only ones which they are any longer capable of enjoying . It may be questioned whether any one who has remained equally susceptible to both classes From this verdict of the only competent judges , I apprehend there can be no appeal . On a question which is the best worth having of two pleasures , or which of two modes of existence is the most grateful to the feelings , apart from its moral attributes and from its consequences , the judgment of those who are qualified by knowledge of both , or , if they differ , that of the majority among them , must be admitted as final . And there needs be the less hesitation to accept this judgment respecting the quality in kind , apart from the question of intensity , to those of which the animal nature , disjoined from the higher faculties , is suspectible , they are entitled on this subject to the same regard . I have dwelt on this point , as being a necessary part of a perfectly just conception of Utility or Happiness , considered as the directive rule of human conduct . But it is by no means an indispensable condition to the acceptance of the utilitarian standard ; for that standard is not the agent s own greatest happiness , but the greatest amount of happiness altogether ; and if it may possibly be doubted whether a noble character is always the happier for its nobleness , there can be no doubt that [ 11 ] it makes other people happier , and that the world in general is immensely a gainer by it . Utilitarianism , therefore , could only attain its end by the general cultivation of nobleness of others , and his own , so far as happiness is concerned , were a sheer deduction from the benefit . But the bare enunciation of such an absurdity as this last , renders refutation superfluous . [ 24 ] CHAPTER III OF THE ULTIMATE SANCTION OF THE PRINCIPLE OF UTILITY The question is often asked , and properly so , in regard to any supposed moral standard - What is its sanction ? what are the motives to obey it ? or more specifically , what is the source of its obligation ? whence does it derive its binding force ? It is a necessary part of moral philosophy to provide the answer to this question ; which , though frequently assuming the shape of an objection to the utilitarian morality , as if it had some special applicability to that above others , really arises in regard to all adopt a standard , or refer morality to any basis on which he has not been accustomed to rest it . For the customary morality , that which education and opinion have consecrated , is the only one which presents itself to the mind with the feeling of being in itself obligatory ; and when a person is asked to believe that this morality derives its obligation from some general principle [ 25 ] round which custom has not thrown the same halo , the assertion is to him a paradox ; the supposed corollaries seem to have a more binding force than the original theorem ; the super - structure seems to stand better without , than with , what is represented as its foundation . He says to himself , I feel that I am bound not to rob or murder , betray or deceive ; but why am I bound to promote the general happiness ? If my own happiness lies in something else , why may I not give that the preference ? If the view adopted by the utilitarian philosophy of the nature of the moral sense be correct , this difficulty will always present itself , until the influences which form moral character have taken the same hold of the principle which they have taken of some of the consequences - until , by the improvement of education , the feeling of unity with our fellow - creatures shall be ( what it can not be denied that Christ intended it to be ) as deeply rooted in our character , and to our own consciousness as completely a part of The principle of utility either has , or there is no reason why it might not have , all the sanctions which belong to any other system of morals . Those sanctions are either external or internal . Of the external sanctions it is not necessary to speak at any length . They are , the hope of favour and the fear of displeasure , from our fellow - creatures or from the Ruler of the Universe , along with whatever we may have of sympathy or affection of them , or of love and awe of Him , inclining [ 26 ] So far as to external sanctions . The internal sanction of duty , whatever our standard of duty may be , is one and the same - a feeling in our own mind ; a pain , more or less intense , attendant on violation of duty , which in properly cultivated moral nature arises , in the more serious cases , into shrinking from it as impossibility . This feeling , when disinterested , and connecting itself with the pure idea of duty , and not with some particular form of it , or with any [ 29 ] But there is this basis of powerful natural sentiment ; and this it is which , when once the general happiness is recognised as the ethical standard , will constitute the strength of the utilitarian morality . This firm foundation is that of the social feelings of mankind ; the desire to be in unity with our fellow creatures , which is already a powerful principle in human nature , and happily one of those which tend to become stronger , even without express inculcation , from the influences of advancing civilisation . The social state is at once so natural , so [ 30 ] They are also familiar with the fact of co - operating with others , and proposing to themselves a collective , not an individual interest as the aim ( at least for the time being ) of their actions . So long as they are co - operating , their ends are identified with those of others ; there is at least a temporary feeling that the interests of others are their own interests . Not only does all strengthening of social ties , and all healthy growth of society , give to each individual a stronger feelings more and more with their good , or at least with an even greater degree of practical consideration for it . He comes , as though instinctively , to be conscious of himself as a being who of course pays regard to others . The good of others becomes to him a thing naturally and necessarily to be attended to , like any of the physical conditions of our existence . Now , whatever amount of this feeling a person has , he is urged by the strongest motives both of interest and of sympathy to demonstrate it , and to the utmost of his power encourage it in others ; and even if he has none of it himself , he is as greatly interested as any one else that others should have it . Consequently the smallest [ 31 ] Neither is it necessary to the feeling which constitutes the binding force of the utilitarian morality on those who recognise it , to wait for those social influences which would make its obligation felt by mankind at large . In the comparatively early state of human advancement in which we now live , a person can not indeed feel that entireness of sympathy with all others , which would make any real discordance in the general direction of their conduct in life impossible ; but already a person in whom the social feeling is at all developed | [

http://history.house.gov/Institution/Origins-Development/Constitutional-Qualifications/ | Constitutional Qualifications โ No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the age of twenty five Years , and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States , and who shall not , when elected , be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen . โ โ U.S. Constitution , Article I , section 2 , clause 2 View Larger Scene at the Signing of the Constitution , Howard Chandler Christy , 1940 , image courtesy of the Architect of the Capitol The Constitution placed notably few hurdles between ordinary citizens and becoming a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives . The founders wanted the House to be the legislative chamber closest to the people โ the least restrictive on age , citizenship , and the only federal office at the time subject to frequent popular election . The Constitution requires that Members of the House be at least 25 years old , have been a U.S. citizen for at least seven years , and live in the state they represent ( though not necessarily the same district ) . And James Madison of Virginia wrote that , โ Under these reasonable limitations , the door of this part of the federal government is open to merit of every description , whether native or adoptive , whether young or old , and without regard to poverty or wealth , or to any particular profession of religious faith . โ Origins The constitutional qualifications for office originate in British law . Members of the House of Commons had to live in the shires or boroughs they represented , although that was rarely done in practice . The founders used that example to motivate the requirement that Members of the House live in the state they represent . This would increase the likelihood that they would be familiar with the people โ s interests there , but there was no mention during the debates about living in the same district . The district system emerged later as states dealt with how to Citizenship At the time the U.S. Constitution was written , the British prevented anyone born outside England or its Empire from serving in the Commons , even if the individual had subsequently become a citizen . By mandating that an individual be a citizen for at least seven years , the founders attempted to strike a balance between preventing foreign interference in domestic politics and keeping the House of Representatives close to the people . The founders also did not want to discourage immigration to the new country by shutting off the government to new arrivals . Age The founders initially set 21 , the voting age , as the minimum age to serve in the House . During the Federal Constitutional Convention , though , George Mason of Virginia moved to make the age 25 . Mason said that there should be a period between being free to manage one โ s own affairs and managing the โ affairs of a great nation . โ Convention Delegate James Wilson of Pennsylvania objected to the suggestion that any further restrictions be placed on House membership , and cited the service of William Pitt as a counterexample . Pitt , who held office at the time of the Convention , was the youngest prime minister in British history at the age of 24 . Nevertheless , Mason โ s amendment passed seven states to three . The House and Its Members Article I , section 5 of the Constitution provides the House with the authority to determine whether Members - elect are qualified to be seated . For instance , William Claiborne of Tennessee became the youngest person to ever serve in the House when he was elected and seated in 1797 at the age of 22 . The House also seated Claiborne at the age of 24 , when he won re - election . The House , however , has not always been so lenient . Representative John Young Brown of Kentucky was first elected to the House in the 36th Congress ( 1859 โ 1861 ) when he was 24 , but the House refused to administer the oath of office to him until he was 25 โ after the first session of the Congress was over .

http://history.house.gov/Institution/Origins-Development/Impeachment/ | Impeachment โ The President , Vice President and all Civil Officers of the United States , shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for , and Conviction of , Treason , Bribery , or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors . โ โ U.S. Constitution , Article II , section 4 View Larger Collection of the U.S. House of Representatives About this object Representative Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylvania , a Radical Republican , gave the last speech during House debate on articles of impeachment against President Andrew Johnson on March 2 , 1868 . Johnson became the first president impeached by the House , but he was later acquitted by the Senate by one vote . The Constitution gives the House of Representatives the sole power to impeach an official , and it makes the Senate the sole court for impeachment trials . The power of impeachment is limited to removal from office but also provides for a removed officer to be disqualified from holding future office . Fines and potential jail time for crimes committed while in office are left to civil courts . Origins Impeachment comes from British constitutional history . The process evolved from the 14th century as a way for parliament to hold the king โ s ministers accountable for their public actions . Impeachment , as Alexander Hamilton of New York explained in Federalist 65 , varies from civil or criminal courts in that it strictly involves the โ misconduct of public men , or in other words from the abuse or violation of some public trust . โ Individual state constitutions had provided for impeachment for โ maladministration โ or โ corruption โ before the U.S. Constitution was written . And the founders , fearing the potential for abuse of executive power , considered impeachment so important that they made it part of the Constitution even before they defined the contours of the presidency . Constitutional Framing During the Federal Constitutional Convention , the framers addressed whether even to include impeachment trials in the Constitution , the venue and process for such trials , what crimes should warrant impeachment , and the likelihood of conviction . Rufus King of Massachusetts argued that having the legislative branch pass judgment on the executive would undermine the separation of powers ; better to let elections punish a President . โ The Executive was to hold his place for a limited term like the members of the Legislature , โ King said , so โ he would periodically be tried for Elbridge Gerry , however , said impeachment was a way to keep the executive in check : โ A good magistrate will not fear [ impeachments ] . A bad one ought to be kept in fear of them . โ Another issue arose regarding whether Congress might lack the resolve to try and convict a sitting President . Presidents , some delegates observed , controlled executive appointments which ambitious Members of Congress might find desirable . Delegates to the Convention also remained undecided on the venue for impeachment trials . The Virginia Plan , which set the agenda for the Convention , initially contemplated using the judicial branch . Again , though , the founders chose to follow the British example , where the House of Commons brought charges against officers and the House of Lords considered them at trial The founders also addressed what crimes constituted grounds for impeachment . Treason and bribery were obvious choices , but George Mason of Virginia thought those crimes did not include a large number of punishable offenses against the state . James Madison of Virginia objected to using the term โ maladministration โ because it was too vague . Mason then substituted โ other high Crimes and Misdemeanors โ in addition to treason and bribery . The term โ high Crimes and Misdemeanors โ was a technical term โ again borrowed from British legal practice โ that denoted crimes by public officials against the government . Mason โ s revision was accepted without further debate . But subsequent experience demonstrated the revised phrase failed to clarify what constituted impeachable offenses . The House ' s Role The House brings impeachment charges against federal officials as part of its oversight and investigatory responsibilities . Individual Members of the House can introduce impeachment resolutions like ordinary bills , or the House could initiate proceedings by passing a resolution authorizing an inquiry . The Committee on the Judiciary ordinarily has jurisdiction over impeachments , but special committees investigated charges before the Judiciary Committee was created in 1813 . The committee then chooses whether to pursue articles of impeachment against the accused official and report them to the full House . If the articles are adopted ( by simple majority vote ) , the House appoints Members by resolution to manage the ensuing Senate trial on its behalf . These managers act as prosecutors in the Senate and are usually members of the Judiciary Committee . The number of managers has varied across impeachment trials but has traditionally been an odd number . The partisan composition of managers has also varied depending on the nature of The Use of Impeachment The House has initiated impeachment proceedings more than 60 times but less than a third have led to full impeachments . Just eight โ all federal judges โ have been convicted and removed from office by the Senate . Outside of the 15 federal judges impeached by the House , two Presidents ( Andrew Johnson in 1868 and William Jefferson ( Bill ) Clinton in 1998 ) , a cabinet secretary ( William Belknap in 1876 ) , and a U.S. Senator ( William Blount of North Carolina in 1797 ) have also been impeached . Blount โ s impeachment trial โ the first ever conducted โ established the principle that Members of Congress and Senators were not โ Civil Officers โ under the Constitution , and accordingly , they could only be removed from office by a two - thirds vote for expulsion by their respective chambers . Blount , who had been accused of instigating an insurrection of American Indians to further British interests in Florida , was not convicted , but the Senate did expel him . Other impeachments have featured judges taking the bench when drunk or profiting from their position . For Further Reading Farrand , Max , ed . The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787 .
