One minute you're dreaming about winning the Nobel Prize in physics, and the next minute you're fist-fighting a cybernetic Stephen Hawking. But there is nothing magical about your dreams -- they are a function of your brain's biology, which means that there are actual, physical reasons why in last night's dream your mother transformed into a gorilla instead of, say, a wombat. Science is just beginning to understand the factors that control your dreams, but what we've discovered so far is weird as hell.5 The Earth's Magnetic Field Makes Dreams More Bizarre Getty Read Next Here's How They Made The 'Roars' In The Lion King If that headline sounds like New Age bullshit to you, like maybe we're going to start talking about how dreams are visions from your spirit's magnetic energy matrix or something, calm down -- as weird as this is, the science behind it is more straightforward than you think. As we have mentioned before, your brain's pineal gland can sense geomagnetic activity. It's not magic -- it's just helping to regulate hormones for your sleep cycle. Some people are sensitive enough to fluctuations in the Earth's magnetism that it creates anxiety and depression (high magnetic activity hurts the output of melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate your mood). Well, it looks like magnetism also controls whether you'll dream that you're merely flying or that you're in a cross-country skiing championship while giant man-roosters try to distract you with naked images of Willem Dafoe, who is also a cat for some reason. Don't look down. We assure you the penis is regular human size. After recording his dreams for eight years, psychologist Darren Lipnicki stumbled upon this correlation: low geomagnetic activity means crazier dreams. When the magnetic field was high, his dreams made more sense, but when it died down, he was dreaming tripped-out things. As he describes it, "I was stranded on a foreign coastline with a monkey that spoke English and a woman that suddenly became small, almost doll-sized. Then I was at home. "↓ Continue Reading Below Advertisement For his study, Lipnicki devised a five-point scoring system to rate his dreams -- those with a rating of 1 were scenarios that seemed perfectly reasonable, but those that he rated a 5 were all flying toasters and monkey butlers. Getty Take away the pants and this one goes straight to 4 on sheer principle. It would make sense if (as Lipnicki suspects) it's all about magnetism and melatonin. After all, people who take melatonin supplements say that they experience crazier dreams. This also leads to the conclusion that weird-ass dreams are the sign of a healthy brain -- your melatonin is doing its job.4 Playing Video Games Allows You to Control Your Dreams Getty If you've ever been in the middle of a dream when you suddenly realized you were dreaming and could actually control what happened, you've experienced a lucid dream. The ability to get into the driver's seat of a dream -- to battle monsters, or hang out with celebrities, or (most importantly) have sex with anyone you can imagine -- is an incredibly popular hobby on the Internet, with whole communities set up to advise each other about how to do it. Well, the answer may be easier than they think: play lots of video games. Getty"It's called a loophole, bitches. "↓ Continue Reading Below Advertisement Video game players report having more lucid dreams than other people, according to a study. The lead researcher, Jayne Gackenbach, has been doing dream research for over a decade and has been able to reproduce the results time and time again -- gamers just have a knack for wresting control of their unconscious mind, which is good news for any gamers who find that they're not getting laid very often in the real world. Or maybe it's terrible news. You decide. Gackenbach's hypothesis is simply that video games train the mind to take control of a fantasy situation. So when you are asleep and enter a dream state, your brain immediately thinks "Video game!" and you find yourself able to take control of the dreamscape. "PRESS A, PRESS A, PRESS A, MOTHERFUCKER, PRESS A! "That's not all, though -- according to the research, frequent gamers actually have the ability to ward off nightmares. Apparently, the essence of a scary dream is the dreamer's inability to respond to threatening situations like zombie hordes or disappearing pants. But gamers are able to "fight back" in their dreams, which lowers the general threat level. Gamers' nightmares tend to be more violent, but less frightening. So the good news for gamers is that you don't need to pay a dime to live a new fantasy adventure every night. The bad news is that we're thinking we're about five years away from game publishers figuring out how to charge you for that shit. Getty"The DRM gives me pretty bad seizures, but those wet dreams are worth it. "3 Republicans Have More Nightmares Than Democrats Getty↓ Continue Reading Below Advertisement Where your politics fall on the spectrum might have deep implications for the dinner table and the voting booth, but you'd think that we're all pretty much the same when we put our heads down at night, right? It's all having sex with our gym teacher in public while our teeth are falling out. Well, scientists who look into this kind of thing have done some research on how people's political attitudes affect their dreams, and they found that whether you pressed the button for Mitt or Barack in the last election has profound implications for what your dream worlds look like. For instance, dream researcher Kelly Bulkeley found that conservatives are nearly three times as likely to suffer from nightmares as their left-wing counterparts. Photos.com"And now I shall sing every Nickelback song ever recorded. In the style of polka. "During the four-year study, Bulkeley found that nearly half of the dreams described by conservatives were nightmares, compared to only 18 percent of liberal dreams. His own interpretation, which he admits is speculation, is that conservatives are "very attuned to the dangers in the world," whereas liberals tend to be more utopian and optimistic. But either way, this isn't the only study to have found this -- another experiment had some graduate students go through something called the KJP Dream Inventory and found that being more conservative was positively correlated with dreams about falling, being chased, and generally being discontent. So here's a question for you to discuss among yourselves: Does thinking like a Republican cause you to have more anxiety and scary thoughts, or does having more anxiety and scary thoughts cause you to vote Republican? We don't want to make it sound like a bad thing either way -- you could make the argument that they're just being realistic. Getty And that the dreams about falling actually represent their love of extreme sports. So what don't Republicans dream about? Apparently, they have fewer sex dreams. We have no idea what to make of that.2 Unpleasant Smells Lead to Unpleasant Dreams Getty↓ Continue Reading Below Advertisement We all know that our dreams can be influenced by things that are happening in our sensory environment -- the aliens we're shooting at might suddenly begin shrieking the same sound as our alarm clock, or the supermodel we're making love to might begin to bark at us just as the annoying dog next door wakes up. But now research has shown that smells in our environment affect our dreams as well, but not in the way you'd think. Photos.com"Sir, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave the store. "Scientists in Germany experimented on 15 subjects by pumping different smells into the room as they entered REM sleep. During the study, they wafted the odors of things like rotten eggs and roses across the noses of the sleeping subjects and asked them about their dreams after they awoke. It turns out that the unpleasant smells tended to trigger more negative dreams, as you'd suspect, but the dreams didn't have anything to do with the smells (the smell of something rotten didn't make them dream of zombies or fart monsters or anything like that). The researchers believe that this is due to the effect that smell has on the limbic system of the brain, which governs emotion and behavior. This appears to be a hugely underrated factor in how our brains work, by the way -- we did a whole article a while back on weird ways you're subconsciously affected by smells and learned that manipulating smells is almost a form of mind control. According to one expert, our sense of smell alone has "direct access to the subconscious areas of the brain, which affects emotion, mood, and memory." Even when you sleep. Getty"This smells great! Now, about that whole sleep thing ..."So if you're suffering from chronic nightmares, maybe you should think less about the stress in your life and more about the whole farting roommate situation.↓ Continue Reading Below Advertisement1 Creative People Remember More of Their Dreams Getty Everything on this list so far has hinged on one unspoken factor: whether you can even remember your dreams at all. All of these surveys and studies were based on people who could actually remember what they dreamed about, and some of us can't -- we just wake up with a vague memory of something unpleasant happening, and maybe that it involved spiders. Well, according to researchers, the more creative you are, the less difficulty you have in remembering your dreams in the morning. This may seem like an abstract and ambiguous category to try sorting people into, but the researchers looked at variables such as being "prone to absorption, imaginativeness, daydreaming, and fantasizing," and concluded that people who scored high on these factors tended to remember their dreams more often. Getty"Two words: 'evil dick. '"You might think that this is just a result of whatever chemicals those artsy types were putting into their bodies, but the results were adjusted for things like intake of caffeine and alcohol (which, as those of us who write for a living can attest, tend to spike harder as deadlines begin to dominate our lives). It didn't matter -- the creative types still retained their dreams better. According to psychology professor David Watson, "People who are prone to daydreaming and fantasy have less of a barrier between states of sleep and wakefulness and seem to more easily pass between them." It sounds similar to the mechanism that lets gamers control their dreams -- apparently that whole bridge between your waking and dreaming mind is something that is built with practice. Getty"I can't even differentiate between the two anymore. In my eyes, everyone burns. "So if, when trying to concentrate on a lecture, you find yourself inexorably drifting toward wondering how well the lecture hall could survive a zombie apocalypse, then you're probably more likely to remember what you dream about each evening (which, we suppose, is probably fighting a zombie apocalypse).

Ingham THE LIVING SOIL: BACTERIABacteria are tiny, one-celled organisms – generally 4/100,000 of an inch wide (1 µm) and somewhat longer in length. What bacteria lack in size, they make up in numbers. A teaspoon of productive soil generally contains between 100 million and 1 billion bacteria. That is as much mass as two cows per acre.

Bacteria fall into four functional groups. Most are decomposers that consume simple carbon compounds, such as root exudates and fresh plant litter. By this process, bacteria convert energy in soil organic matter into forms useful to the rest of the organisms in the soil food web. A number of decomposers can break down pesticides and pollutants in soil. Decomposers are especially important in immobilizing, or retaining, nutrients in their cells, thus preventing the loss of nutrients, such as nitrogen, from the rooting zone. A second group of bacteria are the mutualists that form partnerships with plants. The most well-known of these are the nitrogen-fixing bacteria. The third group of bacteria is the pathogens. Bacterial pathogens include Xymomonas and Erwinia species, and species of Agrobacterium that cause gall formation in plants. A fourth group, called lithotrophs or chemoautotrophs, obtains its energy from compounds of nitrogen, sulfur, iron or hydrogen instead of from carbon compounds. Some of these species are important to nitrogen cycling and degradation of pollutants. What Do Bacteria Do? Bacteria from all four groups perform important services related to water dynamics, nutrient cycling, and disease suppression. Some bacteria affect water movement by producing substances that help bind soil particles into small aggregates (those with diameters of 1/10,000-1/100 of an inch or 2-200µm). Stable aggregates improve water infiltration and the soil’s water-holding ability. In a diverse bacterial community, many organisms will compete with disease-causing organisms in roots and on aboveground surfaces of plants. A Few Important Bacteria Nitrogen-fixing bacteria form symbiotic associations with the roots of legumes like clover and lupine, and trees such as alder and locust. Visible nodules are created where bacteria infect a growing root hair. The plant supplies simple carbon compounds to the bacteria, and the bacteria convert nitrogen (N2) from air into a form the plant host can use. When leaves or roots from the host plant decompose, soil nitrogen increases in the surrounding area. Nitrifying bacteria change ammonium (NH4+) to nitrite (NO2-) then to nitrate (NO3-) – a preferred form of nitrogen for grasses and most row crops. Nitrate is leached more easily from the soil, so some farmers use nitrification inhibitors to reduce the activity of one type of nitrifying bacteria. Nitrifying bacteria are suppressed in forest soils, so that most of the nitrogen remains as ammonium. Denitrifying bacteria convert nitrate to nitrogen (N2) or nitrous oxide (N2O) gas. Denitrifiers are anaerobic, meaning they are active where oxygen is absent, such as in saturated soils or inside soil aggregates. Actinomycetes are a large group of bacteria that grow as hyphae like fungi. They are responsible for the characteristically “earthy” smell of freshly turned, healthy soil. Actinomycetes decompose a wide array of substrates, but are especially important in degrading recalcitrant (hard-to-decompose) compounds, such as chitin and cellulose, and are active at high p H levels. Fungi are more important in degrading these compounds at low p H. A number of antibiotics are produced by actinomycetes such as Streptomyces.

SSSA, Madison, WI. P lease contact the Soil and Water Conservation Society at [email protected] for assistance with copyrighted (credited) images. Where Are Bacteria? Various species of bacteria thrive on different food sources and in different microenvironments. In general, bacteria are more competitive when labile (easy-to-metabolize) substrates are present. This includes fresh, young plant residue and the compounds found near living roots. Bacteria are especially concentrated in the rhizosphere, the narrow region next to and in the root. There is evidence that plants produce certain types of root exudates to encourage the growth of protective bacteria. Bacteria alter the soil environment to the extent that the soil environment will favor certain plant communities over others. Before plants can become established on fresh sediments, the bacterial community must establish first, starting with photosynthetic bacteria. These fix atmospheric nitrogen and carbon, produce organic matter, and immobilize enough nitrogen and other nutrients to initiate nitrogen cycling processes in the young soil. Then, early successional plant species can grow. As the plant community is established, different types of organic matter enter the soil and change the type of food available to bacteria. In turn, the altered bacterial community changes soil structure and the environment for plants. Some researchers think it may be possible to control the plant species in a place by managing the soil bacteria community. Bug Biography: Bacteria That Promote Plant Growth By Ann Kennedy, USDA Agricultural Research Service, Pullman, WACertain strains of the soil bacteria Pseudomonas fluorescens have anti-fungal activity that inhibits some plant pathogens. P. fluorescens and other Pseudomonas and Xanthomonas species can increase plant growth in several ways. They may produce a compound that inhibits the growth of pathogens or reduces invasion of the plant by a pathogen. They may also produce compounds (growth factors) that directly increase plant growth. These plant growth-enhancing bacteria occur naturally in soils, but not always in high enough numbers to have a dramatic effect. In the future, farmers may be able to inoculate seeds with anti-fungal bacteria, such as P. fluorescens, to ensure that the bacteria reduce pathogens around the seed and root of the crop.

There are several methods of backlighting an LCD panel using LEDs, including the use of either white or RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) LED arrays behind the panel and edge-LED lighting (which uses white LEDs around the inside frame of the TV and a light-diffusion panel to spread the light evenly behind the LCD panel). Variations in LED backlighting offer different benefits. The first commercial full-array LED-backlit LCD TV was the Sony Qualia 005 (introduced in 2004), which used RGB LED arrays to produce a color gamut about twice that of a conventional CCFL LCD television. This was possible because red, green and blue LEDs have sharp spectral peaks which (combined with the LCD panel filters) result in significantly less bleed-through to adjacent color channels. Unwanted bleed-through channels do not "whiten" the desired color as much, resulting in a larger gamut. RGB LED technology continues to be used on Sony BRAVIA LCD models. LED backlighting using white LEDs produces a broader spectrum source feeding the individual LCD panel filters (similar to CCFL sources), resulting in a more limited display gamut than RGB LEDs at lower cost. The commercially called "LED TV's" are LCDs-based television sets where the LED's are dynamically controlled using the video information [11] (dynamic backlight control or dynamic “local dimming” LED backlight, also marketed as HDR, high dynamic range television, invented by Philips researchers Douglas Stanton, Martinus Stroomer and Adrianus de Vaan [12] [13] [14] ). The evolution of energy standards and the increasing public expectations regarding power consumption have made it necessary for backlight systems to manage their power. As for other consumer electronics products (e.g., fridges or light bulbs), energy consumption categories are enforced for television sets [15]. Standards for power ratings for TV sets have been introduced, e.g., in the USA, EU, and Australia [16] as well as in China [17]. Moreover, a 2008 study [18] showed that among European countries, power consumption is one of the most important criteria for consumers when they choose a television, as important as the screen size [19]. Using PWM (pulse-width modulation, a technology where the intensity of the LEDs are kept constant but the brightness adjustment is achieved by varying a time interval of flashing these constant light intensity light sources [20], the backlight is dimmed to the brightest color that appears on the screen while simultaneously boosting the LCD contrast to the maximum achievable levels, drastically increasing the perceived contrast ratio, increasing the dynamic range, improving the viewing angle dependency of the LCD and drastically reducing the power consumption. The combination of LED dynamic backlight control [12] in combination with reflective polarizers and prismatic films (invented by Philips researchers Adrianus de Vaan and Paulus Schaareman [21] make these "LED" (LCD) televisions far more efficient than the previous CRT-based sets leading to a worldwide energy saving of 600 TWh (2017), equal to 10% of the electricity consumption of all households worldwide or equal to 2 times the energy production of all solar cells in the world. [22] [23]. The prismatic and reflective polarization films are generally achieved using so called DBEF films manufactured and supplied by 3M [24] [25]. These reflective polarization films using uniaxial oriented polymerized liquid crystals (birefringent polymers or birefringent glue) are invented in 1989 by Philips researchers Dirk Broer, Adrianus de Vaan and Joerg Brambring [26]. A first dynamic “local dimming” LED backlight was public demonstrated by Bright Side Technologies in 2003, [27] and later commercially introduced for professional markets (such as video post-production). [28] Edge LED lighting was first introduced by Sony in September 2008 on the 40-inch (1,000 mm) BRAVIA KLV-40ZX1M (known as the ZX1 in Europe). Edge-LED lighting for LCDs allows thinner housing; the Sony BRAVIA KLV-40ZX1M is 1 cm thick, and others are also extremely thin. LED-backlit LCDs have longer life and better energy efficiency than plasma and CCFL LCD TVs. [29] Unlike CCFL backlights, LEDs use no mercury (an environmental pollutant) in their manufacture. However, other elements (such as gallium and arsenic) are used in the manufacture of the LED emitters; there is debate over whether they are a better long-term solution to the problem of screen disposal. Because LEDs can be switched on and off more quickly than CCFLs and can offer a higher light output, it is theoretically possible to offer very high contrast ratios. They can produce deep blacks (LEDs off) and high brightness (LEDs on). However, measurements made from pure-black and pure-white outputs are complicated by the fact that edge-LED lighting does not allow these outputs to be reproduced simultaneously on screen. [ clarification needed]Full-array backlights that use mini-LED panels, consisting of several thousand WLEDs, are being researched for TVs and mobile devices. [30]Quantum dot enhancement film [ edit]Main article: Quantum dot display In September 2009 Nanoco Group announced a joint development agreement with a major Japanese electronics company, under which it will design and develop quantum dots (QDs) for LED backlights in LCDs. [31] Quantum dots are photoluminescent; they are useful in displays because they emit light in specific, narrow normal distributions of wavelengths. To generate white light best suited as an LCD backlight, parts of the light of a blue-emitting LED are transformed by quantum dots into small-bandwidth green and red light such that the combined white light allows for a nearly ideal color gamut generated by the RGB color filters of the LCD panel. In addition, efficiency is improved, as intermediate colors are not present anymore and don't have to be filtered out by the color filters of the LCD screen. This can result in a display that more accurately renders colors in the visible spectrum. Other companies are also developing quantum dot solutions for displays: Nanosys, 3M as a licensee of Nanosys and QD Vision of Lexington, Massachusetts. [32] This type of backlighting was demonstrated by various TV manufacturers at the Consumer Electronics Show 2015. [33] Samsung introduced their first 'QLED' quantum dot displays at CES 2017 and later formed the 'QLED Alliance' with Hisense and TCL to market the technology. [34] [35]Backlight-dimming flicker [ edit]LED backlights are often dimmed by applying pulse-width modulation to the supply current, switching the backlight off and on more quickly than the eye can perceive. If the dimming-pulse frequency is too low or the user is sensitive to flicker, this may cause discomfort and eyestrain (similar to the flicker of CRT displays at lower refresh rates ). [36] This can be tested by a user simply by waving their hand in front of the screen; if it appears to have sharply-defined edges as it moves, the backlight is pulsing at a fairly low frequency. If the hand appears blurry, the display either has a continuously-illuminated backlight or is operating at a frequency too high to perceive. Flicker can be reduced (or eliminated) by setting the display to full brightness, although this degrades image quality and increases power consumption.

Elizabeth Gibney03 September 2014Rights & Permissions Laniakea: Our home supercluster Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 4:11The supercluster of galaxies that includes the Milky Way is 100 times bigger in volume and mass than previously thought, a team of astronomers says. They have mapped the enormous region and given it the name Laniakea — Hawaiian for 'immeasurable heaven'. Galaxies tend to huddle in groups called clusters; regions where these clusters are densely packed are known as superclusters. But the definition of these massive cosmic structures is vague. The new study, published in Nature 1, describes a novel way to define where one supercluster ends and another begins. A team led by Brent Tully, an astronomer at the University of Hawaii in Honolulu, charted the motions of galaxies to infer the gravitational landscape of the local Universe, and redraw its map. Cosmic speed The team used a database 2 that compiles the velocities of 8,000 galaxies, calculated after subtracting the average rate of cosmic expansion. “All these deviations are due to the gravitational pull galaxies feel around them, which comes from mass,” says Tully. The researchers used an algorithm to translate these velocities into a three-dimensional field of galaxy flow and density. “We really can’t claim to have a good understanding of cosmology if we cannot explain this motion,” says Tully. This method is superior to merely mapping the location of matter, because it enables scientists to build a map of uncharted regions of the Universe, says Paulo Lopes, an astrophysicist at the Valongo Observatory, part of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. It relies on detecting the galaxies' influence, rather than seeing them directly. Related stories Row reignites over distance of Pleiades star cluster Cameras to focus on dark energy Galaxy clusters caught in motion More related stories Moreover, the galaxies' motions reflect the distribution of all matter, not just that which is visible in our telescopes — including dark matter. Discounting cosmic expansion, their map shows flow lines down which galaxies creep under the effect of gravity in their local region (see video). Based on this, the team defines the edge of a supercluster as the boundary at which these flow lines diverge. On one side of the line, galaxies flow towards one gravitational centre; beyond it, they flow towards another. “It’s like water dividing at a watershed, where it flows either to the left or right of a height of land,” says Tully. Frontiers in space This is a completely new definition of a supercluster. Scientists previously placed the Milky Way in the Virgo Supercluster, but under Tully and colleagues' definition, this region becomes just an appendage of the much larger Laniakea, which is 160 million parsecs (520 million light years) across and contains the mass of 100 million billion Suns. However, this work is unlikely to be the final word on what a supercluster is, says Gayoung Chon, an astronomer at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching, Germany. Her team works on a different definition, based on superclusters being structures that will one day collapse into a single object. This will not happen to Laniakea, she estimates, because some of the galaxies within it will recede from one another forever. “The definition you use really depends on the questions you want to ask. This latest method is a very good way to chart the large-scale structures of the Universe, but it doesn’t ask what will happen to these superclusters eventually,” she says. Although the map is comprehensive over the Universe around the Milky Way, its distance measurements become less accurate, and less numerous, the farther out you go, says Lopes. This is currently the technique’s biggest potential source of error, he says, but adding more galaxy measurements will improve the map and could eventually help scientists to fully trace what is behind the motion of our local group of galaxies.

D254696	http://embroideryauthority.com/logo-tips/	Logo Tips	You may want to hire a company that will design a custom logo that will work well in a wide range of formats, to include embroidery. We recommend Foxtrot Creative Studio, located right here in St. Augustine. The husband and wife team of Grant and Maddie are artists with the technical expertise and technological skills to create a logo you’ll be proud of. They can also help you with regular printing needs, such as business cards, flyers, posters, etc. If you prefer to create your own logo, we have some suggested guidelines to follow for creating a logo that translates well to embroidery. Years of experience in the embroidery and heat transfer industry has given us some insight into what does and doesn’t work well in embroidery and heat transfer logo design. We’ve broken the thoughts down into the following areas: Color Blending: Embroidery: Many professionally designed logos have blended colors or a transition from one color to another such as in this color bar. This might look fine on paper, but is very difficult to accomplish in a small, left chest or cap size logo. While printing simply adjusts the dots of ink on the page or pixels on the computer monitor, embroidery has to try to accomplish this with segments of thread. It’s hard to embroider a blended color well, especially in a small digital logo. Heat Transfers: If a blended logo is critical for you, then heat transfers are the way to go. We can blend colors in a large logo much better, but we even have the capability of heat transfers onto twill fabric which can even be trimmed with embroidery for a beautiful finished product. A large logo (such as to go on the back of a jacket) could look better as embroidery, but embroidery won’t be able to duplicate the look that can be achieved on paper or on your computer screen. Our advice is to not use blended colors at all if you don’t need them for embroidery or heat transfers of your digital logo design. Logo Size: Embroidery: Our general guidelines are 3 to 3.75″ wide for logos wider than they are tall for embroidered use on the left chest of shirts. If the logo is square, 1.5 to 2″ on a side, and 2 to 2.5″ in diameter for circular logos. For caps, 2.25″ tall and 4″ wide are size limits, and 1 to 1.25″ tall and 4″ wide for visors. Full back logos (we only recommend putting them on materials no lighter than a sweatshirt) up to 11″ x 11″. Often, the limiting factor in a logo’s size is small lettering or a thin, small part of the artwork. Don’t worry about sending us a larger logo than these guidelines – larger is better for digitizing. Sending one smaller might be a problem, since we need to enlarge it for digitizing. If we think something needs to be changed, we’ll let you know. Heat Transfers: Left chest: Up to 4.5″ x 4.5″, but the size recommendations for embroidery hold true here. For a youth-size full back or front logo, up to 10″ x 10″. For an adult full back or full front logo, up to 12″ wide and 14″ in height. Thin Elements: Embroidery: They are generally to be avoided. Embroidery has trouble duplicating the look of thin elements in logos because of the type of stitch that can be used. In lettering, for instance, we typically use the satin stitch (shown below). This stitch goes back-and-forth across the entire width of the area to be embroidered. For example, when we embroider our logo, the capital letter “I” is stitched by the needle going through the fabric on the left side of the letter (the bobbin thread forms a lock stitch with the top thread while the needle is in the ‘down’ position), pulling out of the fabric and moving to the right side of the letter where the needle once again goes through the fabric, a lock stitch is formed underneath by the bobbin thread, then the needle pulls out and moves back to the left side of the letter a little higher or lower that the first stitch. Back and forth… left, right, left, right, left, right, etc. gradually moving up or down the letter to create what we call satin (or column) stitches. It’s the best and most beautiful way to embroider things such as letters. If the letters are very thin, we can’t use satin stitches. The left to right distance across a thin “I” is too small and both stitches fall into the same area of the fabric and result in a hole in the fabric. If thin elements are necessary, other (less beautiful than satin) stitches such as running stitches (shown at right) can be used. In the example of a capital “I”, instead of forming the letter by going back and forth (left to right) across the letter many times (satin stitches), running stitches are placed one above the other. A stitch is placed at the very bottom of the letter, then the next stitch is directly above the first, the next is above that, and so on the top of the letter. The letter “I” made with running stitches might have only 20 stitches, while the satin stitch version might have several hundred. . When there is a large area to be embroidered, we use fill stitches. They can be standard fill or a ‘structured’ fill (such as to replicate the look of feathers in the sample above). Heat Transfers: Attic Perfect logo with white background Very thin elements can also present difficulties for heat transfers, depending upon the transfer type and the apparel chosen. We’re often able to work with thin elements by applying a background color such as in the Attic Perfect logo. Material to be Embroidered: Embroidery: It’s important that we know what type of material you’re going to want to have embroidered. For instance, t-shirt designs would have fewer stitches in them since the fabric is not as heavy as, say, denim, and simply can’t hold as many stitches. If we’re embroidering polyester fleece, the stitch type (and the ‘underlay’ stitches that you don’t see on the finished product) will be different than on other materials. Fleece has ‘loft’, meaning that it’s relatively thick and springy. If we don’t use proper underlay stitching to ‘squash’ down the fleece where satin stitches will be placed, stitches can be ‘lost’ in the springy fleece (and not be seen). This could lead to bits of the fleece poking through the stitching. All that said, most of the time we can use one logo on many different types of fabrics, but it looks best when we know in advance which fabrics and items are to embroidered (even on future orders) and can digitize the logo for embroidery accordingly. Heat Transfers: The apparel selected for heat transfers is even more important. We used to recommend fabric with at least a 35% cotton content. With today’s wide array of heat transfer materials, we can heat transfer on just about anything (except caps of course) even the thin stretchy performance fabrics that are popular today. Heat transfers bond extremely well to such fabrics and flex, bend and stretch with the fabric without cracking. We also need to know what color of garment you will be selecting. We use different types of transfers on light and dark fabrics. We may choose somewhat different products based on both the fabric and color of the shirts being decorated. If you are using a mix of dark and light shirts, for example, a logo with dark lettering without a background color would be fine on the light colored items, but the dark text would not show up well against the dark colored items. A different color scheme or background color may be called for. We’ll let you know. We also recommend only selecting smooth fabrics such as t-shirts, sweatshirts and jersey knit polo shirts. No fleece, wool, or leather, and no pique knit polos (a non-smooth surface). Caps vs. Shirts: Caps must be embroidered on a different type of frame and cannot be held as securely as shirts. We only do embroidery on caps – no heat transfers. Logos that have outlines around areas can be more difficult to embroider on caps since the cap may move ever so slightly between the stitching of the two different areas and have slight underlaps (or overlaps) where the fabric shows through. BTW, on caps we ONLY do embroidery. We don’t recommend heat transfers on caps. Logo Colors: Embroidery: Consider the colors of your logo in relation to the colors of the items you will want embroidered. If you want to stick with one color scheme for your logo, it may restrict what color items we can embroider for you. A mainly royal blue logo will look fine on a white item, but may not show up as well as you would like on a royal blue item. If you’re flexible in what colors we use for your logo, you can have a wider selection of apparel color to choose from. Another consideration in Pantone colors. There simply aren’t enough thread colors to match all Pantone colors. We will work with you to find a thread color that either matches or is very close to that selected for print media. We are able to change elements of your logo to different thread colors based on the shirt color – we can work that out in advance. Logo that changes based on shirt color An example of that it the logo shown here. They often order blue shirts and we simply switch the blue LSI text to white for those shirts. Heat transfers: Unlike embroidery (which is priced based on number of stitches), heat transfers are priced by size. Because we use different types of transfers for light or dark fabrics, and for different types of fabrics, we need to know exactly what you will want the transfers applied to. Shop Our Catalog
D2742235	http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/furnace-maintenance-contracts-often-disappoint-1.1131012	Furnace maintenance contracts often disappoint	Workers remove a gas fired furnace from a home in Pennsylvania. Some consumers who opt for furnace maintenance contracts end up disappointed by them. (John C. Whitehead/Associated Press)0 shares Facebook Twitter Reddit Google Share Email Many gas companies offer an annual maintenance package for your furnace. These plans include a yearly diagnostic check to make sure your heating system is working safely and efficiently. If your furnace is being serviced once a year, these plans generally cost less than paying for each visit individually. For example, a one-time furnace check up will cost you about $140. While, annual maintenance plans cost up to $120, but they are ongoing. Plans generally include a technician's visit once a year. Direct Energy says customers' benefit from this as these experts can spot problems before they become costly. But many homeowners are sceptical and wonder if their furnace requires this much professional attention to stay healthy. One Direct Energy customer I spoke to is cancelling her maintenance plan after only one year. She signed on after her furnace broke down two years ago and the technician encouraged her to get it. For her it's not worth it because she has done the maintenance on her own for 40 years. This is the only time her furnace broke down prematurely, and it cost her $600 to fix. That's far more than an annual plan would cost over the years. Joe Mancini of Mancini Heating and Air Conditioning says a furnace less than 10 years old doesn't need annual maintenance. He adds a typical furnace should last 20 years without any major problems, if you follow some easy steps like: Replacing the air filter every three months. Cleaning the blower compartment every year. Checking that your outdoor vent is clear of obstructions and is not clogged with garden material or animal nests. Understanding your warranty, and what it covers and for how long. Finding three reputable HVAC experts that you can call if your furnace breaks down. Having your ducts cleaned after home renovations to remove any loose debris. Over the last five years, the Ministry of Consumer Services in Ontario has received 170 written complaints and 524 verbal inquiries about heating maintenance packages. They advise homeowners to shop around before signing a contract. Avoid disappointment and take the time to understand what's covered. If you get a call from a company offering you an annual service plan at a discounted rate ask them how long you have to sign on for and what exactly the company will do for you if your furnace breaks. No body wants to risk waking up to a cold house in the dead of winter, but paying for something you can do yourself doesn't make sense to many homeowners as well. Report Typo or Error Send Feedback

The cap is formed by three enzymatic reactions at the 5′ terminus of nascent m RNAs. Although the capping pathway is conserved in all eukaryotes, the structure and genetic organization of the component enzymes vary between species. These differences provide insights into the evolution of eukaryotes and eukaryotic viruses. Main The 7-methylguanosine (m 7 G) cap is the defining structural feature of eukaryotic m RNA. The cap consists of m 7 G linked through an inverted 5′–5′ triphosphate bridge to the initiating nucleoside of the transcript ( Fig. 1 ), and is formed by enzymatic modification of pre-m RNAs as they are being synthesized by cellular or viral RNA polymerases. Capping involves three enzymatic reactions. First, the 5′ triphosphate end of the nascent pre-m RNA is hydrolysed to a diphosphate by RNA 5′ triphosphatase. Second, the diphosphate RNA end is capped with GMP by RNA guanylyltransferase through a two-step mechanism that involves a covalent enzyme–GMP intermediate. Finally, the Gppp N cap is methylated by RNA (guanine-N7) methyltransferase ( Fig. 1 ). Figure 1: Structure and enzymatic synthesis of the m 7 G cap of eukaryotic m RNA. The cap consists of 7-methylguanosine linked to the 5′ nucleoside of the messenger RNA chain through an inverted 5′ to 5′ triphosphate bridge. The phosphates of the cap are linked through phosphoanhydride bonds, which differ from the phosphodiester linkage between adjacent nucleosides of the RNA chain (which are arbitrarily shown as adenosine in the figure). The cap is formed on nascent RNA chains by the sequential action of three enzymes. a \| RNA triphosphatase hydrolyses the γ phosphate (green) of triphosphate-terminated RNA to yield a diphosphate end and inorganic phosphate (P i ). b \| RNA guanylyltransferase catalyses a reversible two-step nucleotidyl transfer reaction. In the first step, a lysine side chain on the enzyme (E) reacts with the α phosphorus of GTP (red) to form a covalent enzyme–guanylate intermediate (Ep G) and release pyrophosphate (PP i ). In the second step, the enzyme transfer of the GMP to the 5′ diphosphate RNA end forms a G cap and regenerates the apoenzyme. c \| RNA (guanine N7) methyltransferase transfers the methyl group from S -adenosylmethionine (Ado Met) to the cap guanine (red) to form a m 7 G cap and releases S -adenosylhomocysteine (Ado Hcy). Full size image This pathway is conserved in all eukaryotic organisms that have been examined. However, recent studies have shown a surprising diversity in the genetic organization of the cap-forming enzymes in different TAXA, as well as a complete divergence in the structure and catalytic mechanism of the RNA triphosphatase component in 'lower' versus 'higher' eukaryotic species 1. These differences, reviewed here, provide new and instructive clues to eukaryotic PHYLOGENY. Why did the cap evolve in eukaryotes? The universal phylogenetic tree that was proposed by Carl Woese and colleagues 2 comprises three evolutionary domains — bacteria, archaea and eukarya. The cap structure is unique to eukaryotic cellular and viral m RNAs, and is also found on the small nuclear and small nucleolar RNAs that are involved in nuclear RNA processing reactions. Capping is essential for the growth of eukaryotic cells. The cap guanylate protects the m RNA from untimely degradation by 5′ exoribonucleases, whereas the cap methyl group facilitates translation 3, 4, 5. The guanylyltransferase component of the capping apparatus acts specifically on 5′ diphosphate RNA ends, and it cannot catalyse the transfer of GMP to a 5′ monophosphate RNA. This ensures that caps are added directly only to the 5′ end of the primary transcript and not to processed 5′ ends that arise from endonucleolytic cleavage. In exceptional cases, such as trypanosomes and nematodes, caps are added indirectly to 5′ processed ends of protein-coding RNAs by splicing a separate 5′ capped leader RNA onto the coding RNA 6. The leader RNA is believed to acquire the m 7 G component of its cap through the standard three-step pathway, starting from a 5′ triphosphate end. The RNAs of bacteria and archaea do not have caps. The reasons for this are simple — the enzymes that catalyse cap synthesis exist only in eukaryotic cells and certain eukaryotic viruses. Archaea and eukarya are believed to have diverged from a common lineage that is separate from bacteria. Because all eukaryotic species seem to have caps, we can infer that capping was present in the last common ancestor of today's eukaryotes. So, why might the cap have evolved, and why did it appear uniquely in the eukaryotic domain? Two evolutionary forces can be thought of that, alone or in combination, prompted the need for such an RNA structure. These are the loss of Shine–Dalgarno base-pairing as a means of directing ribosomes to m RNA, and the appearance of 5′ exoribonucleases only in eukarya. Prokaryotic 'm RNA identity' is signalled by an eight-nucleotide Shine–Dalgarno sequence, which is located proximal to the site of translation initiation. This sequence can base-pair with the sequence near the 3′ end of 16S r RNA (the RNA molecule that is contained within the small subunit of the bacterial ribosome), and thereby position the AUG start codon at the correct site on the ribosome. Many bacterial m RNAs are polycistronic, which means that they consist of tandemly arrayed open reading frames for protein synthesis, demarcated by internal Shine–Dalgarno sequences near the sites of initiation of each polypeptide. With no 'hard-wired' specification of ribosome binding in their m RNA sequences, eukaryotes use the cap as an alternative signal to direct the translation apparatus to the 5′ end of protein-encoding RNAs. For the cap to signal translation initiation, there must be a means to recognize the cap and, indeed, a key component of the eukaryotic translation apparatus is an m 7 G cap-binding protein ( e IF4E ). This recruits the 40S ribosome subunit to the 5′ end of the m RNA 7. Like the cap itself, e IF4E is found uniquely in eukaryotes, which indicates that the cap and its binding protein co-evolved. Initial analyses of archaeal genomes showed that Shine–Dalgarno sequences are present upstream of archaeal open reading frames. However, the recently completed genome of the CRENARCHAEON Sulfolobus solfataricus highlighted that Shine–Dalgarno sequences are found upstream of the genes within polycistronic operons, but not in the first gene of an operon or in isolated 'singlet' genes 8. The m RNAs of the Crenarchaeon Pyrobaculum aerophilum generally lack 5′ untranslated regions and Shine–Dalgarno ribosome-binding sites 9, 10. Because the Crenarchaea lack obvious homologues of eukaryotic capping enzymes or cap-binding proteins, we can assume that these archaea have developed alternative mechanisms to target their ribosomes to the sites of translation initiation. So, the idea that the loss of Shine–Dalgarno pairing was the sine qua non of cap evolution is an oversimplification. Rather, capping might be only one solution to the problem of m RNA recognition; that is, the one chosen by an ancestral eukaryote as an alternative to — or a replacement for — the as-yet-uncharacterized mechanism that is attributed to Crenarchaea. A main function of the cap guanylate is to protect m RNA from digestion by 5′ exoribonucleases 4. The existence of 5′ exoribonucleases is confined to eukarya; such enzymes are absent from bacteria and are also undetectable in archaeal PROTEOMES 11. It is conceivable that the 5′ exoribonucleases and cap synthesis evolved in tandem in early eukaryotes to provide a primitive immunity to RNA viruses, by which the uncapped RNA invader would be degraded, whereas the capped cellular transcripts would be shielded. In the meantime, RNA viruses have evolved diverse strategies to outwit this cellular defence and contend with the capping problem. These include encoding their own cap-forming enzymes (reoviruses and alphaviruses); stealing the caps from cellular m RNAs (influenza virus); and the adoption of unique RNA structures that bypass the cap requirement for translation and stability (picornaviruses and hepatitis C virus). Several classes of DNA virus also encode their own m RNA-capping enzymes, including poxviruses, baculoviruses, Paramecium bursaria Chlorella virus (PBCV-1; an algal virus), and infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV; an iridovirus). Capping enzymes in eukaryotes The genetic organization and quaternary structure of the capping apparatus differs in significant respects in 'higher' compared with 'lower' eukaryotic species 1 ( Fig. 2 ). Higher eukaryotes, such as mammals and other METAZOA, encode a two-component capping system, which consists of a bifunctional triphosphatase–guanylyltransferase polypeptide and a separate methyltransferase polypeptide 12, 13, 14, 15. The triphosphatase–guanylyltransferase is composed of an amino-terminal triphosphatase domain and a carboxy-terminal guanylyltransferase domain. Figure 2: The m RNA capping apparatus differs in fungi compared with metazoans. The capping systems of fungal species consist of separately encoded triphosphatase (TPase), guanylyltransferase (GTase) and methyltransferase (MTase) enzymes. The metazoan and plant capping systems consist of an RNA triphosphatase fused to a guanylyltransferase, plus a separate methyltransferase component. The primary structures and biochemical mechanisms of the fungal and mammalian guanylyltransferases are conserved 1 (yellow). The primary structures and mechanisms of the fungal and mammalian cap methyltransferases are also highly conserved 13 (green). By contrast, the atomic structures and catalytic mechanisms of the fungal and mammalian RNA triphosphatases are completely different 23, 24 (blue and red, respectively). Full size image Lower eukaryotes, such as fungi, encode a three-component capping system, which consists of separate triphosphatase, guanylyltransferase and methyltransferase gene products 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 ( Fig. 2 ). The primary structures and biochemical mechanisms of the fungal and mammalian guanylyltransferases and cap methyltransferases are highly conserved 1, 13. By contrast, the atomic structures and catalytic mechanisms of the fungal and mammalian RNA triphosphatases are completely different 23, 24. Here, I focus on recent discoveries about the structures and mechanisms of the two different flavours of RNA triphosphatases that are found in eukaryotic cells. RNA triphosphatases Metazoan and plant RNA triphosphatases. The triphosphatase domains of metazoan and plant capping enzymes contain a HCXXXXXR (S/T) motif (the phosphate-binding loop, or 'P-loop') that defines the cysteine phosphatase superfamily 14. The metazoan RNA triphosphatases catalyse a two-step phosphoryl-transfer reaction ( Fig. 3a ). First, the conserved cysteine of the signature motif attacks the γ phosphorus of triphosphate-terminated RNA to form a covalent protein–cysteinyl- S -phosphate intermediate and expel the diphosphate RNA product 24. Second, the covalent phosphoenzyme intermediate is hydrolysed to liberate inorganic phosphate. Mutation of the P-loop cysteine to either alanine or serine abrogates RNA triphosphatase activity in vitro and in vivo 14, 24. The RNA triphosphatases of mammals and other metazoa do not require a metal for activity, and are instead inhibited by divalent cations. Figure 3: Metazoan RNA triphosphatases.a \| The reaction mechanism of metazoan capping triphosphatases involves the formation and hydrolysis of a cysteinyl phosphate intermediate. b \| Ribbon diagram of the crystal structure of the RNA triphosphatase domain of mammalian messenger RNA capping enzyme.

Full size image The cysteine phosphatase superfamily also includes protein tyrosine phosphatases, dual-specificity protein phosphatases, and phosphoinositide phosphatases. The amino-acid sequences of the metozoan and plant RNA 5′ phosphatases are highly similar, but have only scant similarity to other branches of the superfamily outside of the signature P-loop motif 24. So, the specificity for hydrolysis of phosphoanhydride substrates (as opposed to phosphomonoesters, which are the substrates for protein and lipid phosphatases) is presumably contributed by structural elements that are unique to, and conserved among, the RNA phosphatase branch. The crystal structure of mammalian RNA triphosphatase shows that the enzyme is a globular monomeric protein with a deep, positively charged active-site pocket that can accommodate a 5′ triphosphate end 24. The structure consists of five β-strands that form a central twisted sheet, which is flanked by two α-helices on one side and four α-helices on the other ( Fig. 3b ). The overall fold of mammalian RNA triphosphatase is quite similar to that of other cysteine phosphatases. Fungal RNA triphosphatases. The RNA triphosphatases of fungal species such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida albicans and Schizosaccharomyces pombe strictly depend on a divalent cation. The fungal enzymes belong to a new family of metal-dependent phosphohydrolases that embraces the triphosphatase components of DNA virus and PROTOZOAN m RNA-capping systems 25, 26. The signature biochemical property of this enzyme family is the ability to hydrolyse nucleoside triphosphates to nucleoside diphosphates and inorganic phosphate in the presence of either manganese or cobalt. The defining structural feature of the metal-dependent RNA triphosphatases is two glutamate-containing motifs (β1 and β11 in Fig. 4) that are required for catalysis by every family member.

Peptide segments with the highest degree of conservation in all nine proteins are highlighted by the green boxes. Dots denote hydrophilic amino acids that comprise the active site within the Sc Cet1 tunnel. Full size image The crystal structure of the S. cerevisiae RNA triphosphatase Cet1 showed unexpected structural complexity for an enzyme that catalyses a mundane phosphohydrolase reaction 23. Cet1 crystallized as a homodimer, which is consistent with solution studies of its quarternary structure ( Fig. 4a ). The striking feature of the tertiary structure is the formation of a topologically closed tunnel that is composed of eight antiparallel β-strands. The β-strands that make up the tunnel walls are shown above the Cet1 protein sequence in Fig. 4b. In the dimer, the two tunnels are parallel and orientated in the same direction; that is, the tunnel 'entrances' are on the same face of the dimer. The active site of the enzyme is located within the cavity of the tunnel. So, the structure of the fungal RNA triphosphatase is completely different from that of the mammalian enzyme. The triphosphatase tunnel of Cet1 has a distinctive baroque architecture that is supported by an intricate network of hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions in the tunnel cavity. Site-directed mutagenesis has identified 15 individual side chains within the tunnel that are important for Cet1 function in vitro and in vivo (denoted by dots in Fig. 4b) 23, 27, 28. Each of the eight strands of the β barrel contributes at least one functional constituent of the active site. Protozoan RNA triphosphatases. Several new members of the Cet1-like triphosphatase family have been identified recently and characterized in lower eukaryotes. The MICROSPORIDIAN Encephalitozooan cuniculi is an amitchondrial intracellular parasite, which has the smallest genome ( ∼ 3 Mbp) of any known eukaryotic organism 29. E. cuniculi encodes a three-component capping system that is similar to that of fungi 30. The E. cuniculi RNA triphosphatase shows the signature property of hydrolysing NTPs in the presence of manganese or cobalt, and its sequence includes putative equivalents of the eight β-strands of the Cet1 tunnel ( Fig. 4b ). The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum encodes separate RNA guanylyltransferase and RNA triphosphatase enzymes; the triphosphatase component is a metal-dependent phosphohydrolase and contains counterparts of the eight β-strands of the Cet1 tunnel 26 ( Fig. 4a ). A separate candidate cap methyltransferase from P. falciparum has also been identified (C. K. Ho and S. S., unpublished observations). So, Plasmodium has a yeast-like capping apparatus. The EUGLENOZOAN Trypanosoma brucei causes sleeping sickness in Africa and the related species Trypanosoma cruzi causes Chagas' disease in South America. T. brucei encodes separate guanylyltransferase and triphosphatase enzymes 31, 32. The triphosphatase Tb Cet1 is a 253-amino-acid polypeptide that includes the metal-binding motifs, plus counterparts of all of the other β strands that comprise the active site of Cet1 ( Fig. 3a ). Mutational analysis confirmed that the metal-binding glutamates are essential for the activity of Tb Cet1 (Ref. 32 ). Leishmania major, another kinetoplastid protozoan that causes human disease, also encodes a metal-dependent triphosphatase that belongs to the Cet1-like protein family ( Fig. 4a) (C. K. Ho and S. S., unpublished observations). A cap-centric taxonomy of eukaryotes Capping enzymes are a good focal point for considering eukaryotic evolution, because any differences in the capping apparatus between taxa must reflect events that post-date the emergence of ancestral nucleated cells. A scheme of eukaryotic phylogeny has been proposed that is based on two features of the m RNA capping apparatus — the structure and mechanism of the triphosphatase component (the metal-dependent 'fungal' type versus the metal-independent cysteine-phosphatase type), and whether the triphosphatase is physically linked in cis to the guanylyltransferase component ( Fig. 5 ). Figure 5: Capping-enzyme-based scheme of eukaryotic phylogeny. The capping systems of the indicated fungal and protozoan species include separately encoded metal-dependent RNA triphosphatase (TPase; blue) and guanylyltransferase (GTase; yellow) enzymes, and are presumed to represent the ancestral state. Evolution of the capping apparatus in the protozoan phyla by gene fusion is exemplified in Entamoeba by fusion of a metal-dependent triphosphatase domain to a guanylyltransferase domain, and in Leishmania by fusion of a guanylyltransferase domain to a methyltransferase domain (MTase; green). The metazoan and plant capping systems consist of a cysteine-phosphatase-type RNA triphosphatase (TPase; red) fused to a guanylyltransferase (GTase; yellow). Unlinked methyltransferase components are not shown. Full size image By these simple criteria, which rely on stark differences in the same metabolic pathway, we can arrive at different relationships between taxa than those that are indicated by comparisons of sequence variations among proteins that are themselves highly conserved in all eukaryotes 33. For example, the capping-based phylogeny would place metazoans in a common lineage with plants (exemplified by the metaphyta Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa and the unicellular alga Chlamydomomas reinhardtii ), because all of these organisms have a cysteine-phosphatase-type RNA triphosphatase fused in cis to their guanylyltransferase ( Fig. 5 ). Fungi, microsporidia and many protozoa fall into a different lineage that is distinguished by a 'Cet1-like' RNA triphosphatase that is physically separate from RNA guanylyltransferase. By contrast, the protein-sequence-variation-based scheme 33 places fungi in the same supergroup as metazoa, and puts the APICOMPLEXA nearer to plants. Assuming that multicellular animals evolved from unicellular ancestors, I predict that the three-component capping system with a metal-dependent triphosphatase is the ancestral state from which other eukarya evolved ( Fig. 6 ). We see evidence for evolution from the ancestral state by gene fusions in several directions. Certain protozoa (exemplified by Entamoeba histolytica) acquired a bifunctional capping enzyme by fusion of the ancestral triphosphatase and guanylyltransferase genes ( Fig. 5 ). A candidate E. histolytica capping enzyme is composed of an amino-terminal triphosphatase domain fused to a guanylyltransferase domain 34. The putative amino-terminal triphosphatase domain includes the two metal-binding signature motifs, plus probable equivalents of five of the other β-strands of Cet1. There seems to be a similarly bifunctional triphosphatase–guanylyltransferase in the slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum. The domain organization of the E. histolytica capping enzyme is reminiscent of poxvirus and baculovirus capping enzymes, which also consist of an amino-terminal metal-dependent triphosphatase that is linked to a downstream guanylyltransferase domain ( Fig. 7 ). Figure 6: Evolution of the metazoan and plant capping systems. A hypothetical pathway of capping-enzyme evolution from a fungal-like ancestral state that involves a series of intermediate steps, which are highlighted in the shaded boxes. GTase, guanylyltransferase; LCA, last common ancestor; TPase, RNA triphosphatase. Full size image Figure 7: Capping enzymes of DNA viruses.

The linear order of the catalytic modules in the primary structure is depicted from the amino (left module) to carboxyl (right module) ends. ASFV, African swine fever virus; GTase, guanylyltransferase; ISKNV, infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus; MTase, methyltransferase; TPase, RNA triphosphatase. Full size image The capping apparatus of Leishmania has evolved by gene fusion in a different direction, in which the triphosphatase component remains separate from the guanylyltransferase, but the guanylyltransferase is now fused to the methyltransferase ( Fig. 5 ). The putative bifunctional Leishmania capping enzyme is a predicted 992-amino-acid polypeptide, which is composed of an amino-terminal guanylyltransferase domain fused to a carboxy-terminal methyltransferase domain (C. K. Ho and S. S., unpublished observations). Metazoans and plants have experienced a different and more radical gene-rearrangement event that transferred a cysteine-phosphatase domain into the same transcription unit as the guanylyltransferase. A plausible pathway of evolution could entail the appearance of a new cysteine phosphatase enzyme (for example, through duplication and mutation of one of the protein phosphatase genes that are present in lower eukarya) that gained the capacity to hydrolyse an RNA 5′ phosphate instead of, or in addition to, a phosphoprotein ( Fig. 6 ). The model implies a 'transition state' in which an organism contained both a metal-dependent and a cysteine-phosphatase-type triphosphatase. The fusion of the cysteine phosphatase to the guanylyltransferase presumably allowed for the loss of the Cet1-like enzyme from the genome of the common metazoan/plant ancestor, or else the divergence of the protein to a point at which it is no longer discernable as being Cet1-like. An alternative explanation is that the cysteine-phosphatase–guanylyltransferase fusion arose first in the plant (or metazoan) lineage and was transferred subsequently horizontally to the metazoan (or plant) ancestor. Another alternative explanation (although one that seems less plausible) is that plants and metazoans independently experienced this gene fusion in distant branches of the phylogenetic tree. The inference — drawn from the capping-enzyme-based TAXONOMY 26 — that plants and metazoans share a more recent common ancestor than do metazoans and fungi disagrees with prevalent models that surmise a specific phylogenetic connection of metazoans and fungi on the basis of ribosomal RNA sequence comparisons 35. Yet, the conclusions from the capping-enzyme-based phylogeny, which were first proposed 26 by myself and Ho, are supported by a recent comprehensive genome-wide census 36 of all proteins that are involved in RNA metabolism in all three phylogenetic domains. Anantharaman et al. 36 report that the number of orthologous groups of proteins that are involved in RNA metabolism shared exclusively by animals and plants (n=41) is several times higher than the number that is shared exclusively by fungi and animals (n=15), which they construe as arguing against the conventional phylogenetic scheme. Capping enzymes in DNA viruses The eukaryotic DNA viruses that are most familiar to molecular biologists (for example, SV40, adenovirus and herpes) all replicate in the nucleus and exploit the host cell's enzymes to transcribe and cap their viral m RNAs. It is less well appreciated that other families of eukaryotic DNA virus, including those of the highest genetic complexity, encode their own RNA-processing enzymes and, in some cases, their own RNA polymerases. Poxviruses and African swine fever virus. The poxviruses (typified by vaccinia virus) replicate entirely within the cytoplasm of metazoan cells, and their host range extends from arthropods to human. Poxviruses encode a complete transcription and m RNA-processing system, including all three activities that are required for m 7 G capping. The triphosphatase, guanylyltransferase and methyltransferase active sites are arrayed in a modular fashion within a single 844-amino-acid polypeptide 1, 37. The domain order in the primary structure (H 2 N–triphosphatase–guanylyltransferase–methyltransferase–COOH) recapitulates the sequence of the three reactions in the capping pathway. African swine fever virus (ASFV), which has both nuclear and cytoplasmic phases of its replication cycle, encodes a trifunctional m RNA-capping enzyme, which is similar to that of vaccinia virus 38. The guanylyltransferase and methyltransferase domains of the poxvirus and ASFV capping enzymes resemble those that are found in all eukaryotic cells. The triphosphatase components of the poxvirus and ASFV capping enzymes belong to the metal-dependent phosphohydrolase family 25, 37. This is remarkable given that the capping enzyme of the metazoan host organism contains a cysteine-phosphatase-type RNA triphosphatase, and that metazoan proteomes do not seem to contain any recognizable homologue of the metal-dependent RNA triphosphatases. So, the poxviruses and ASFV must have acquired their capping enzyme from a source other than the current host cells. The poxvirus capping enzyme presents an extreme case of genetic compaction, in which all three capping activities are fused in a single polypeptide ( Fig. 7 ). No nuclear capping system yet discovered has attained this three-way domain fusion, although we find that the triphosphatase is fused to guanylyltransferase in Entamoeba and the guanylyltransferase is fused to methyltransferase in Leishmania ( Fig. 5 ). The best apparent orthologue of the poxvirus enzyme is the m RNA-capping enzyme of the yeast linear plasmid p GKL2 (and other related fungal plasmids) 39, 40. The yeast linear plasmids are cytoplasmic DNA EPISOMES that encode a minimal set of proteins that are required for replication and gene expression; among the latter are two RNA polymerase subunits and a single trifunctional capping enzyme with a metal-dependent-type RNA triphosphatase domain ( Fig. 7 ). I propose that the poxviruses are derived from an ancestral cytoplasmic episome (of fungi or protozoa), which contributed the core components of the present replication and RNA synthetic machinery. Subsequent evolution of the proto-poxviruses would have entailed the acquisition of cellular coding sequences (by reverse transcription of cellular m RNAs and recombination of complementary DNAs into the viral genome) and the incorporation of genes from other viruses. In this way, the original episome would have gained a capacity for horizontal transmission and, ultimately, for evasion of the host immune response. Baculoviruses. Baculoviruses are large nuclear DNA viruses that replicate in arthropod hosts. Baculoviruses encode an RNA polymerase that is responsible for synthesizing m RNA after the onset of viral DNA replication. One of the subunits of the viral RNA polymerase is a bifunctional capping enzyme, which consists of a metal-dependent triphosphatase domain fused to a guanylyltransferase domain 41, 42, 43 ( Fig. 7 ). (Baculoviruses do not seem to encode a cap methyltransferase homologue, and might therefore rely on the host cell for this activity.) The capping-enzyme subunit of the baculovirus RNA polymerase is essential for viral growth. Surprisingly, baculoviruses encode a second, non-essential RNA triphosphatase of the cysteine-phosphatase type 44. This exemplifies a viral counterpart of the hypothetical 'transition state' of capping-enzyme evolution, in which both flavours of RNA triphosphatase coexist in the same niche. Iridoviruses. Iridoviruses are large DNA viruses that replicate in cold-blooded animals. They spend at least part of the replication cycle in the cytoplasm, and the genome sequences of four diverse iridovirus genera indicate that all family members encode their own RNA polymerase. Surprisingly, only one species of iridovirus — the infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) of mandarin fish — encodes an m RNA-capping enzyme 45. The ISKNV capping enzyme is highly similar to metazoan and plant capping enzymes, and consists of an amino-terminal cysteine phosphatase-type RNA triphosphatase domain fused to a guanylyltransferase domain. A probable situation is that ISKNV acquired its capping enzyme from the host organism, and that this is a relatively recent event in so far as three other iridoviruses do not have a recognizable capping enzyme. Chlorella virus. Chlorella virus PBCV-1 is a large DNA virus that replicates in unicellular green algae 46. Chlorella virus does not seem to encode its own RNA polymerase, but it does encode a two-component m RNA capping system that consists of a metal-dependent RNA triphosphatase and a separate guanylyltransferase. Chlorella virus guanylyltransferase is most closely related in structure to the monofunctional yeast RNA guanylyltransferases 47; more so than to the guanylyltransferase domains of the vaccinia, ASFV or baculovirus capping enzymes 1, 17. The Chlorella virus triphosphatase is also more closely related to the fungal RNA triphosphatases than it is to the RNA triphosphatase domains of other large DNA viruses. It contains equivalents of all eight strands of the triphosphate tunnel, and most of the side chains that are essential for Cet1 activity are conserved in the viral protein. Indeed, extensive mutational analysis of the Chlorella virus triphosphatase shows that at least one conserved side chain in each of the putative β strands is essential for its catalytic activity 48. Although the poxvirus, ASFV and baculovirus RNA triphosphatases contain the conserved metal-binding motifs, they lack obvious counterparts of the other catalytic motifs that correspond to the strands of the Cet1-like tunnel. The inference is that the vaccinia, ASFV and baculovirus triphosphatases either lack a topologically closed tunnel architecture or that, if they retain such a fold, they do so without recognizable amino-acid-sequence similarity to the Chlorella virus and yeast enzymes. In either case, the implication is that the triphosphatase components of the Chlorella virus, vaccinia virus and baculovirus capping apparatus have diverged considerably during their evolution. A common origin for poxviruses, ASFV and Chlorella virus has been proposed on the basis of the hypothesis of a set of shared gene products (predominantly enzymes) that existed in their last common ancestor virus 49. However, the similarities between the Chlorella virus and yeast capping enzymes do not indicate a simple common origin for the respective DNA virus capping systems. Indeed, as shown in Fig. 7, there are further differences in the physical linkage of the enzymatic components of the capping machinery between the large eukaryotic DNA viruses. I assume, by parsimony, that separately encoded enzymatic domains are the ancestral state, and that polyfunctional catalysts of the same metabolic pathway arise through gene-fusion events. So, I envisage a model in which the Chlorella virus capping system arose by acquisition of nuclear capping enzymes (probably from a fungus or another lower eukaryote), whereas the polyfunctional capping enzymes of metazoan DNA viruses originated with a cytoplasmic episome that had already undergone fusion of the capping-enzyme genes. Concluding remarks The cap-centric scheme of eukaryotic evolution is useful for its simplicity and because it raises interesting questions about missing evolutionary links and the order of events in the progression from fungal and protozoan type to metazoan and plant-type capping systems. The scheme is certainly oversimplified because it is based on knowledge of only a fraction of eukaryotic taxa. As more genomes are sequenced, we could see new twists on gene fusions and perhaps find species that encode new flavours of cap-forming enzymes. Of particular interest will be to characterize the m RNA-capping apparatus in the earliest branching protozoan and metazoan organisms, and to further analyse viruses and episomes as windows into the origin of capping enzymes and their diversification.

It serves passengers within Yorkshire and surrounding areas, mostly to sunspot destinations in Europe, Greece and Spain. Leeds Bradford International has often been criticized by passengers as congested and chaotic. There are long-term plans to renovate the airport though. Future travelers can look forward to a major expansion of the landside face of the terminal, as well as the installation of new check-in and security screening facilities. Both promise to increase the terminal’s handling capacity and speed up passenger circulation. Leeds Bradford’s elevated position makes it vulnerable to adverse weather conditions. If you have a bit of time between flights there is plenty to do such as shopping or enjoying a snack. Back to top

Science News from research organizations How do salmon change from freshwater to saltwater fish? Date: May 5, 2015Source: Uni Research Summary: For decades, researchers have tried to find out what regulates changes in salmon when they transform from being freshwater to saltwater fish. Now they have come a little closer to an answer. A new study shows that light -- increases in day length in the spring -- affects developmental processes in the fish's brain during smoltification.

Credit: Lars Ebbesson For decades, researchers have tried to find out what regulates changes in salmon when they transform from being freshwater to saltwater fish. Now they have come a little closer to an answer. "We have presumed that changes in thyroid hormones have been important for normal smolt development, but we have not known how the hormone is activated and it specific roles," says Lars Ebbesson. The researchers at Uni Research Environment have now found important clues that may provide an answer. A new study shows that light -- increases in day length in the spring -- affects developmental processes in the fish's brain during smoltification. In a new study just published in Current Biology Ebbesson and his colleagues found that light increased the production of a special enzyme, type 2 deiodinase, activating the thyroid hormone in the smolt brain. This enzyme stimulates the fish to prepare itself before it wanders out into salt water. They also found an important change in the type-2 deiodinase paralog in the gills. The gills are important for regulating the salt balance in the fish. In the study, they found that this deiodinase paralog that activates the thyroid hormone in the gills only increases when the fish reaches saltwater. The present study may explain why previous work on thyroid hormones and gill development in smolts, which have focussed on the freshwater parr-smolt transformation, have found thyroid hormones to have a minimal role. Control changes"Our findings increase our understanding of the organ-specific regulation and activation of hormones. This gives us a better understanding of how environmental signals, such as light and salt, control physiological changes," says Ebbesson. He is the group leader of the Integrative Fish Biology group at Uni Research Environment. The recent work is a collaboration together with Senior Researchers Tom Ole Nilsen and Sigurd Handeland from his group, Professors David Hazlerigg from the University of Tromsø and Sam Martin at the University of Aberdeen. The group also collaborates on the FRIMEDBIO project "The smolt brain model: Unraveling nature´s regulation of neural plasticity. The three year project is funded by the Research Council of Norway. "In this project, we are exploring how environment and genetics regulate midlife neural plasticity, says Ebbesson. New insight"Taken together, these results provide new insight into the ways in which the smoltification is regulated and the ways in which the environment affects this special transition from fresh water to salt water," says Ebbesson. Ebbesson and his colleagues have now started up a new three-year FRIMEDBIO project "Light & Salt -- Thyroid hormone deiodinase paralogues & the evolution of complex life-history strategy in salmonids" to learn more about the relationship between light, salt regulation and the transformation where the fish become smolt. Among other things, Integrative Fish Biology at Uni Research has previously found out that salmon can be bothered by chronic mild stress. They found out that chronic stress can be a contributing factor preventing salmon from finding their way back to their rivers. This is true because the environment affects the fishes' ability to learn. If the environment is poor for en extended period, their learning ability declines. The researchers demonstrated that fish that were exposed to poor water quality had a higher risk of developing chronic mild stress and impaired neural responses when challenged. How mentally and physiologically robust the fish are provides important information about how the fish will tackle challenges in the future. This is a new example of the ways in which Ebbesson and his colleagues use integrative neurobiology to help clarify some of biology's mysteries. Want to find more answers The research group shall now strive to become a Centre of Excellence in Integrated Fish Neurobiology. The goal is to create an environment that will be an important pillar for researchers in fish biology and evolution, both nationally and internationally. "The brain is the central regulator of most biological processes, yet only a few scattered research groups study how the fish brain works in Norway. In a country where fish plays such an important role in society, a centre that can give new insight to important fundamental questions on brain function will also impact how we manage wild fish populations and improve aquaculture practices," says Ebbesson. The centre will make it possible for researchers to take a closer look at specific regulation and functions in fish brains. Through research here, they will be able to arrive at important answers to help both those who work with fish and those who work with people. Here they will also expand and centralise technological resources and neuroanatomical-databases. The work to develop this is already under way. "We do not necessarily believe that fish and humans are the same, but mechanisms in the brain occur in a similar way for fish as for humans. By understanding more of what happens in the fish's brain, we can also understand more about the human brain," says Ebbesson. The smolt brain Ebbesson also emphasises that knowledge about how the fishes' brains function will be important for the aquaculture industry. Among other things, they will be able to predict and regulate how the fish will be affected by environmental changes. The research group in Bergen is unique because its work is so interdisciplinary. The new centre will offer researchers completely new knowledge and tools. Interdisciplinary approach The Centre of Excellence on Integrated Fish Neurobiology (SIFN) will be headed by Ebbesson. He has been affiliated with the University of Bergen since he moved to Bergen as a post-doc fellow in 2000. In 2006, he was hired at Uni Research, and in 2009 he started up the research group Integrative Fish Biology and the Fish Neuroscience Network in Bergen. This subsequently evolved into NORDFORSK Behavioural Fish Neuroscience Network (Be Fi Ne), which is now part of the EU's COPEWELL project. In the autumn of 2015, the research group will seek to become a Centre of Excellence. The centre will study evolutionary and environmental mechanisms that control development and functional changes in the fish's brain. This is a joint initiative with the Universities of Bergen, Tromsø and Oslo in cooperation with the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research, the Sars International Centre for Marine Molecular Biology and international experts from Japan, the USA and Europe. "Globally leading""The centre here in Bergen will become globally leading," says Ebbesson. The key to success lies in the fact that the centre will combine expertise from various fields in neuroscience, functional neuroanatomy, behaviour, molecular biology, bio-informatics, ecology and fish physiology. "This kind of integrative approach is important in order to solve challenges with regulation of life-history transitions, behavioural motivation and environmental and genetic modulation of adaptation. At present there are few researchers in the world who are capable of having this kind of integrative approach," says Ebbesson. Story Source: Materials provided by Uni Research.

What scientifc instrument measures dew point and can you explain as much as possible about that instrument? thanks Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: the dew pt. hygrometer is a good answer but is no longer in use. dew point is messured by a mathamatical equation based on tempature, pressure and relitive humidity a hygrometer is used to optain the humidity leval. the dew point hygrometer is out dated and not used any longer due to the development of more sophisticated equipment. the hygrometer is now basicly a device that mesures Tempature and humidity along with the thermometer and barometric pressure they use a formula to obtain dew pt. here is a link to the formula for Relative Humidity and Dewpoint Temperature from Temperature and Wet-Bulb Temperature http://www.srh.noaa.gov/elp/wxcalc/formu... Wet-Bulb Temperature and Relative Humidity from Air Temperature and Dewpoint Temperature http://www.srh.noaa.gov/elp/wxcalc/formu... Wet-bulb Temperature and Dewpoint Temperature from Air Temperature and Relative Humidity http://www.srh.noaa.gov/elp/wxcalc/formu... Like the measure of "relative humidity," dew point is another way of expressing the amount of moisture in the air. Warm air is capable of holding a greater amount of moisture than colder air. Therefore, if we cool a given amount of air to the point where the air becomes saturated and can no longer absorb additional moisture, the Relative Humidity is said to have reached 100 percent. Therefore, when the relative humidity reaches 100 percent, the air is saturated and the dew point will be the same as Air Temperature. Dew Point values provide useful insights into the characteristics of an air mass at the surface. Generally, higher Dew-Point Temperatures during periods of warm or hot weather will indicate a greater likelihood of discomfort because the air is nearer saturation and therefore less capable of absorbing moisture from the surface of one’s skin. Likewise, low Dew-Point Temperatures will indicate greater comfort during warm weather because moisture on exposed skin evaporates more rapidly, therefore increasing heat loss from the body, making us feel cooler. Dew Point values can also give insights into the amount of energy available at the surface for the development of thunderstorms. Higher Dew-Point values can indicate a greater supply of heat and moisture at the surface. Greater potential energy in the form of heat and moisture provides better "fuel" for the growth of thunderstorm updrafts. Of course, other factors are required for the development of thunderstorms, nonetheless, Dew Points above 60 degrees may indicate an increased likelihood of storms when other factors are in place. NWS Storm Spotter · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment What Measures Dew Point Source (s):https://shrinke.im/a0JJycoomer · 1 year ago0 0 Comment The dew point can be measured using a dew-point hygrometer. This instrument, invented in 1751, consists essentially of a glass with a thermometer inserted. The glass is filled with ice water and stirred. As the temperature of the glass drops, the air in contact with it is chilled; when it reaches its dew point, water condenses on the glass. The temperature at which condensation occurs is recorded as the dew point of the surrounding air. Source (s):http://www.bookrags.com/Dew_point Jeff · 1 decade ago0 1 Comment A hygrometer.

D2275852	http://www.midcenturyjewelry.com/what-is-thermoset-lucite-jewelry/	What Is Thermoset Lucite Jewelry?	Posted on March 2, 2009What Is Thermoset Lucite Jewelry? Written by Audrey Posted in Blog Tagged1950s, 1960s, bracelets, bsk, confetti, coro, costume jewelry, creative shapes, embedded, glitter, jewelry companies, lucite jewelry, lucite pieces, shells, sounds, trifari Thermoset lucite jewelry was manufactured predominantly in the 1950s-1960s by many costume jewelry companies. It was great for jewelry because the lucite (a heavier plastic) could be molded into many creative shapes and designs. I’ve seen many examples of thermoset lucite by well-known manufacturers such as Lisner, Coro, BSK, Trifari as well as other makers signed and unsigned. Lucite can be opaque or translucent. It can also have objects embedded into it….objects such as abalone pieces, or shells, or confetti or glitter. Confetti lucite is exactly as it sounds: lucite with confetti or glitter embedded inside. The bracelets pictured are wide with lucite pieces with embedded items. They are available on my web site with the link below.www.midcenturyjewelry.com.

D2312300	https://www.leaf.tv/articles/can-i-substitute-chickpeas-for-black-beans/	Can I Substitute Chickpeas for Black Beans?	Beans are one of the least expensive protein-rich foods. Best of all, they are quite versatile. One type of bean can be substituted for another in a wide variety of recipes -- especially soups, stews and casseroles. Chickpeas and black beans do have different characteristics, so recipes calling for black beans could turn out differently than expected if you substitute chickpeas. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't experiment once you understand the characteristics of each type of bean.credit: Jupiterimages/Comstock/Getty Images Chickpeas have a very different flavor than black beans, so will impart different characteristics to your dishes. Black Beanscredit: Jupiterimages/Comstock/Getty Images Black beans can be used in many types of dishes, including salads, salsas, soups and burritos. Black beans, also called turtle beans, are common in Mexican and Caribbean cooking. They have a mild, earthy flavor, which is also a bit sweet, and a smooth texture, making them suitable for chili, soups, salsas and dips. They are essential in the aptly named black bean soup, black beans and rice (often topped with tomatoes, peppers and cheese), and black bean chili, which is often enhanced with Mexican-style seasoning. Substituting chickpeas in these dishes results in a different dish altogether -- but that doesn't mean you shouldn't experiment. Because chickpeas have mild flavor, you might adjust seasonings and ingredients. For chickpea chili, add butternut squash, additional tomatoes, or even a little curry, ingredients that pair well with chickpeas. Chickpeascredit: Hemera Technologies/Able Stock.com/Getty Images Chickpeas maintain their shape during cooking, making them a useful addition to soups and salads. Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are a small bean used often in Mediterranean and Indian cuisine. They have a complex texture that is both meaty and soft. When blended or mashed they become velvety. With a nutty flavor, chickpeas fit right into salads and soups, but are most often used in spreads. Chickpeas star in hummus, a spread that has crossed over from the Mediterranean to become a staple in the United States. Substitutions For many recipes, especially soups, stews, or casseroles calling for black beans, you can successfully substitute chickpeas. Although these beans differ from black beans in color, taste and texture, that doesn't mean that substituting one for the other necessarily ends in an unpalatable dish, especially if you prefer the taste and texture of chickpeas. While black beans are often seasoned with cumin, chili peppers, cilantro, oregano and garlic, chickpeas pair favorably with cardamom, ginger, curry, cumin and garlic, plus a variety of herbs including mint, parsley and rosemary. Before substituting chickpeas, review the seasonings called for in the recipe and adjust them based on these guidelines, keeping in mind that both beans have a strong affinity for garlic and cumin. Experiment The versatility of beans encourages experimentation. Recipes can offer you guidance, but your individual taste and willingness to experiment can lead to wonderful results. Keep in mind that if you are using dried beans, the chickpeas may take a little longer to cook than black beans. The cooking time for both is commonly given as 1 1/2 hours, but chickpeas need to be soaked overnight before cooking. Black beans can be cooked after soaking for several hours. Purchase chickpeas from a store that has rapid turnover and cook them right away; older chickpeas can take much longer to cook.

D1051234	https://www.consolidatedcredit.org/ask-the-experts/credit-score/no-credit-card-no-credit-history/	No Credit Card, No Credit History	No Credit Card, No Credit History Whether it’s a student loan or financing for furniture, you can have a credit score with no credit card. I’ve always steered clear of credit cards after watching my parents struggle all my life. Up until now, that’s worked for me. But now I want to buy a house and I’m worried the lack of credit will mean I can’t get approved. Since I’ve never had a credit card, do I even have a credit score to assess? If not, what can I do? Chantelle R. Baton Rouge, LAAn expert answer from Consolidated Credit Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 0:54View Transcript Hi, I’m April Lewis-Parks, Director of Education at Consolidated Credit. And we have a consumer question today, and it is, “Can I have a credit score without having a credit card?”And the answer is yes. If you have any type of financing whatsoever ever extended to you, you probably have a credit score. But that doesn’t mean a credit card. If you have a car loan, a mortgage, student loans you certainly have a credit score. And there’s probably three, because there’s three credit reports and then there’s FICO. So you should always check your credit score even if you don’t have any credit cards. Counting the ways to generate a credit score As Education Director April Lewis-Parks explained in the video, it’s possible to have a credit score with no credit card. Any of the following actions or events would create a credit history that translates into your score: You took out student loans to get through college, even federal student loans that didn’t require a credit check If you’ve ever financed a car with an auto loan Personal loans through a traditional bank also count Financing furniture or electronic purchases on store credit You received a court judgment that requires payments, such as alimony or child support If you had any type of account – including service contracts for smartphones – go into collections Basically any loan, civil court judgment or collection account creates a credit history. This is the basis of the information used to build your credit report. Then in turn, your credit score is calculated based on the information contained in that report. Steps to take if you have limited credit history It’s important to note that simply having a credit score isn’t a sign you can get approved. Bad credit can is just as hard to overcome as no credit. Either may present challenges on major financing approvals, like what you get when you apply for a mortgage. With that in mind, if you only ever had one loan and had trouble with repayment, or you’ve had several service accounts slip into collections then your credit score may be problematic to future loan and credit approvals. What limited credit history you have to generate a score would be negative. In this case – or even in the case that you’ve never had any credit at all and really have no credit score – you should take the following steps: Step 1: Know where you stand Go to annualcreditreport.com to download a free copy of your credit report. You will be able to get a copy of each report you have from Trans Union, Experian and Equifax. Those are the three main credit bureaus and they each maintain their own version of your credit profile. This website allows you to download your reports entirely for free, no strings attached. This allows you to check your credit to see where you stand. You may believe you have no credit score, when in fact you have generated a history at some point. So check the government-authorized report download website to make sure you really don’t have a report. Step 2: Start small to build credit Smaller financing will be easier to get approved for. This includes opening a secured credit card or applying for a small traditional loan. Both of these will give you a small credit line to repay, so you can build a positive credit history. In most cases, a secured credit card will be the easiest to get approved for even with no credit history. You simply need a small cash deposit to open a credit line of equal value. If you deposit $200, then you have a credit line of $200. Just make sure you’re applying for a secure credit card and not a prepaid credit card. The first allows you to build credit; the second functions more like a debit card and doesn’t build credit history. If you have an aversion to credit cards, try a small personal loan. Make sure to go for a traditional loan, where you apply and they review your credit. No credit check loans, such as payday loans, typically have high interest rates and finance charges. It’s expensive and in many cases, bad for your finances. Step 3: Build your credit history for 6 months Whichever type of credit you choose, pay it off responsibly for at least six months. Make sure to make all of your payments on time. If you have a secured credit card, try to pay off the balance in-full every month. After roughly six months to a year, you should have enough credit history to qualify for other financing. If you want to apply for large-scale financing such as a mortgage, you may wish to consult with a credit counselor or housing counselor. These experts can help analyze your credit and make recommendations to help you get the approval you want.

D874713	http://www.t5fixtures.com/best-light-spectrum-for-my-plants/	Best light spectrum for my plants	Best light spectrum for my plants Feb 16, 2015 49Ben Thorton Many first time grow light users or those who want to start to dabble into growing their plants under artificial lighting at first are very confused about all the different color temperatures or color spectrums of T5 grow light bulbs, so here is a little guide to help you understand them and to use your lights better and to their full potential. First off I should explain a bit more about the terms that will be used in this article and that need to be known for you to fully understand grow lights. I previously mentioned a color temperature, and what that means is that the color temperature is the measurement that shows in what hue your grow light will be, and it is measured in Degrees Kelvin or Kelvins for short. Color spectrum or the visible spectrum is the light that we can see with our eyes, we can differ various colors or hues of the light, but when it comes to be precise then better to stick with the color temperature measurement to ensure that your plants get the light they need in the specific stage of their growth.6,500 Kelvin bulbs The most common bulbs sold are ones with the color temperature of 6,500 Kelvins, because usually these types of bulbs come with T5 fixtures and have the biggest selection among different manufacturers. Sometimes there are 6,400 Kelvin or even 6,505 Kelvin bulbs that are essentially the same thing, because all these bulbs will emit light that is similar to the light that we see during daylight hours, it is called a daylight white light and it has blue tinge to it. In fact any bulbs that have the color temperature of 5,000 Kelvins and up will emit daylight white light, it only will slightly differ how cool or blue the light will be. This type of light is best and most useful for plants that are growing or in their vegetative stages of their growth, because the light is similar to light that they would get if they would grow outside during daylight hours. Also this light is good for seedling and cloning of the plants because of the same daylight reason.3,000 Kelvin bulbs The other most common color temperature in T5 bulbs is 3,000 Kelvins. Some manufacturers make bulbs with 2,700 Kelvin or 2,900 Kelvin color temperature, and again they are produced for the same purpose as 3,000 Kelvin bulbs, and the difference in the color temperature really isn’t noticeable, because any bulbs from 2,700 to 3,000 Kelvins are in warm white or bright white color and have more red and orange hues to the light. And thanks to the fact that these lights have more warmer tones to the emitted light, that simulates the color the daylight would be in sunset hours, which promotes higher rates of photosynthesis which in return affects plant flowering and budding and essentially makes the yield of your plants bigger.4,100 Kelvin bulbs There are also bulbs that have the color temperature of 4,100 Kelvins, that although aren’t that common, is still useful to the plants and worth looking into. The color temperature from 4,000 to about 5,000 Kelvins creates a neutral weight light, that have balanced level of blue and red/orange tones to it. To the human eye they can seem as they have light blue tinge to them though. Because the light is neutral, not leaning in favor of red or blue spectrum, it can be described as standard and therefore can promote plant leaf as well as stem growth, but can be also used when the plants are flowering. The only thing is this light won’t have as big of an effect on the plants – their growth or yield – as would two previous color temperatures would, but it still will help the plants especially if they are grown in winter. These bulbs are good for those who don’t want to switch the bulbs or fixtures and use only one type of light and bulbs all around.10,000 Kelvin bulbs And you can also find T5 bulbs with the color temperature of 10,000 Kelvins. Most commonly they are used as aquarium lights. The 10,000 Kelvin color temperature means that they are very blue based lights so they can be used as grow lights for extreme plant growth, because of the cool color of them. But they usually are used for marine aquariums that have reefs and fresh water type of marine life in them, because the color spectrum also is quite similar to the light that could be seen in deep waters or ocean. So for all those who own fresh water aquariums or simply want to experiment with plant growth these bulbs are for you. Categories: Growers Guide Tags: 000 K, 10, 100 K, 3, 4, 500 K, 6, HO
D1343037	http://www.eyehealthweb.com/broken-blood-vessel-in-eye/	A Broken Blood Vessel in Your Eye â What You Can Do	A Broken Blood Vessel in Your Eye — What You Can Do Authored by Dr. Mounir Bashour Reviewed by Michael Garin O. D. Jump Down to Section Symptoms and Causes of a Broken Blood Vessel on the Front of the Eye ↓ Risks of a Broken Blood Vessel in Your Eye ↓Diagnosing a Broken Blood Vessel in Your Eye ↓Treatment of a Broken Blood Vessel in Your Eye ↓ Preventing Broken Blood Vessels in Your Eye ↓Questions to Ask Your Doctor ↓Also known as a subconjunctival hemorrhage, a broken blood vessel in your eye is typically a harmless condition (although see below) that clears up within one to three weeks. Subconjunctival is the term used to describe the space located just beneath the conjunctiva (the clear surface of your eye). The term hemorrhage refers to the breakage of tiny blood vessels. Most people do not realize they have a broken blood vessel in their eye until someone tells them or they look in a mirror. This condition is not painful, and typically develops after blunt trauma to the eye. In most cases, treatment is not needed for a subconjunctival hemorrhage. Symptoms and Causes of a Broken Blood Vessel on the Front of the Eye Besides the visible bleeding between the sclera (the white part of the eye) and conjunctiva, many people describe a scratchy or itchy feeling on the surface of the eye. Pain is generally non-existent or minimal, and there is no change in vision, although there may be some discomfort. The conjunctiva contains several nerves and tiny blood vessels. These blood vessels (which are barely visible until they become inflamed and enlarged) are fragile, and their walls can easily break. Events that can cause blood vessels on the front of the eye to break include: Sneezing Coughing Vomiting Straining Poorly controlled blood pressure Crying Rubbing your eyes Blunt trauma Increased intracranial or intraocular pressure Shaken baby syndrome (often the case in children with subconjunctival hemorrhages in both eyes)This is not an exhaustive list; often the exact cause of the injury is unknown. There are several factors that can increase the risk of a broken blood vessel on the front of the eye. For example, medications and supplements such as warfarin, aspirin, Plavix, and high doses of vitamin E can thin the blood and make it easier for hemorrhages to occur. Although rare, St. John’s wort, ginkgo biloba, ginger, and cayenne can also increase one’s risk if taken in high doses. Occasionally, blood vessels on the front of the eye will break due to conjunctivitis (eye infection) and high blood pressure. Risks of a Broken Blood Vessel in Your Eye If you have noticed the appearance of blood in your eye, it may be advisable for you to seek medical attention. While a broken blood vessel in your eye is seldom dangerous, hyphema (blood in the front chamber of the eye, between the cornea and the iris) is potentially a more serious condition, with more serious consequences. Diagnosing a Broken Blood Vessel in Your Eye If you have a broken blood vessel in your eye, you should contact your eye doctor and schedule an appointment. In most cases, a simple eye exam is enough for an eye doctor to properly diagnose a subconjunctival hemorrhage. If the cause is unknown, however, your doctor may perform a series of tests to rule out other eye conditions that may be causing the hemorrhaging. Your eye doctor will ask you about your medical history (medications included), and about any activities that may have induced the rupture. If trauma is the cause, a more thorough examination will be performed to ensure that damage has not occurred to other structures in your eye. Treatment of a Broken Blood Vessel in Your Eye In most cases, treatment is not needed for a subconjunctival hemorrhage. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort, over-the-counter pain medications such as Tylenol may be recommended. Aspirin and related products should be avoided due to their blood-thinning side effects. Those who take aspirin or anticoagulants for a medical condition should talk with their eye doctor to determine whether it is safe to continue using these during the healing process. Over-the-counter artificial tears may also help reduce any irritation. If the subconjunctival hemorrhage is due to trauma, other treatment may be necessary to promote healing. If an infection is present, antibiotic eye drops or ointment may be prescribed. Typically, the condition clears up on its own within two or three weeks, without long-term problems. Preventing Broken Blood Vessels in Your Eye Broken blood vessels in your eye can sometimes be prevented. To avoid eye injuries, wear protective eyewear during athletic events or whenever you are exposed to environments that involve flying particles (such as dust) or bright sunlight. If you are experiencing recurrent broken blood vessels in your eye, seek medical attention to rule out underlying blood-clotting conditions. Treatment of an underlying medical condition can prevent symptoms such as broken blood vessels. Questions to Ask Your Doctor How severe is my hemorrhage? How long will my eye be red? What can I do to prevent this from happening again? Which treatment options do I have? Which complications may arise if my eye is left untreated? Could this harm my vision in the future?
D964207	http://www.myhealthyfeeling.com/normal-sodium-levels/	Normal Sodium Levels	Normal Sodium Levels Normal sodium levels are needed for maintaining good health. The normal level of sodium of every person significantly differs and depends upon the age, sex and health condition of the individual. Sodium levels that are far from the normal range can be fatal, so knowing the level of sodium in the body is extremely important. Sponsored link Maintaining normal sodium levels requires visiting a physician or nutritional health professional. This is because each person has a different normal range of sodium levels and doctors are well-equipped to know the ideal sodium level for every person based on tests and personal assessment. What is sodium? Sodium is among the electrolytes inside the body that plays a vital role in regulating the fluids and maintaining the acidity. Since it is an electrolyte, sodium has an electrical charge which is important in maintaining the metabolism and cell activity. Around 40% of sodium is found in the bones while 55% is found in the blood plasma and fluids outside the cells, while the rest are found in cells and organs. Sodium plays a huge part in the proper conduction of the nerves from various nutrients going to the cells, as well as in keeping the blood pressure under control. To fulfill its function properly, normal sodium levels is extremely important. How important is it to maintain normal sodium levels? Normal sodium levels indicate that the body is metabolizing properly, with the cells nourished adequately and nervous system is in check. Maintaining sodium levels at normal range is important in having good mood, mental clearness and general sense of happiness. Having normal levels of sodium is also important in maintaining water balance in the body and help in preventing dehydration and fluid build-up. These electrolytes facilitate in sending out electric signals to the nerves and vice versa. Normal sodium levels play a vital role in the uptake of nutrients into the cells. What is the normal range for sodium levels? The normal sodium levels are as follows:• in blood – within 135 to 145 millequivalents/L• in urine – between 15 and 250 milliequivalents/L/day• in food – should not exceed 2,300 milligrams/day for a healthy adult and 1,500 milligrams/day for people with medical problems like high blood pressure, renal problem and diabetes. It is best to consult the doctor to determine the exact sodium level acceptable for each individual because normal sodium levels depends upon each individuals health condition, age, sex and other factors. Sponsored link What will happen if the sodium levels are beyond the normal range? There are several health risks if a person either has high or low sodium levels, which may range from simple headaches to death. High sodium levels can give rise to high blood pressure, liver and kidney problems. On the other hand, low sodium levels may also lead to heart disease, slow metabolism, kidney disease and fatigue. What makes it more difficult is that people with abnormal sodium levels will not know their condition because the symptoms only become obvious when the condition is already serious. What are the signs that a person has abnormal sodium levels? The signs of high sodium levels are:• Thirst This is the initial sign that the sodium level is elevated as the body tries to bring back the balance of fluids and sodium inside the body.• Brain Dysfunction This is often characterized by confusion which is the result of the shrinking brain cells. Immediate medical attention is needed when confusion follows the deep feeling of thirst and could be associated with restlessness, foolish behaviors, irritability and agitation.• Fainting and Dizziness As sodium levels increase, blood pressure may also fluctuate and may give rise to symptoms like dizziness and fainting.• Gastrointestinal Symptoms This is characterized by vomiting, nausea, fever and excessive sweating, including dry mouth due to dehydration. The signs of low sodium levels are:• Vomiting and nausea These symptoms may arise due to low levels of sodium along with loss of appetite.• Hyponatremia This condition occurs as a result of low sodium level in blood and is diagnosed through blood test.• Reduced consciousness and confusion Severe drop in the sodium level may result to the manifestations of psycho-neurological symptoms like hallucinations, mental disorientation, confusion, agitation, reduced consciousness, sluggishness, seizures and even coma.• Muscle dysfunction Normal sodium levels are essential for the proper functioning of the muscles. A drop of sodium levels in the blood impairs the transmission of signals from the nerves to the muscles, resulting to cramping and twitching of muscles. Maintaining normal sodium levels involves eating a balanced and healthy diet. Processed foods must be avoided because they contain high amounts of sodium. This also proves true in “so-called” healthy foods that contain low amounts of carbohydrates and fat but has high amounts of sodium. It is truly helpful if you make it a habit to read the labels when shopping for food items and preparing your own food to ensure that you keep your normal sodium levels at all times.

Rod Carew. Tony Perez. Their names have gone down in baseball legend, but as it turns out, these three greats have more in common that simply the love of the game: they are also three of the Baseball Hall of Fame ‘s inductees to have Hispanic-American backgrounds. Their accomplishments are indeed remarkable. Known as “the Great One,” the Puerto Rican-born Clemente had a stellar batting average of .350 three years (in 1961, 1967 and 1970), while Perez, who is of Cuban descent, hit a staggering 40 home runs in his top 1970 season. Born to a Panamanian mother on a train in the town of Gatún, Carew amassed 3,053 career hits in his 12 seasons with the Minnesota Twins and seven with the California Angels. As The New York Times reported, two other baseball greats — Ted Williams and Reggie Jackson — were both of Hispanic heritage, but drew little attention to their personal backgrounds throughout their stellar careers. Take a look at the Hispanic-born inductees of the Baseball Hall of Fame here: Correction: The slideshow has been updated to include Jackson and Williams, who had been previously omitted.

CNA certificates are valid for two years in most states. Some certificates display an expiration date while others do not, depending on the state that has issued the certificate. In general, to keep a nurse aide certificate active you must renew it every twenty-four months. To verify if your nursing assistant certificate is active you may call or access the online verification system available on your state's CNA registry website. I have already taken a CNA course back in August 1999 and I worked in a doctor's office for two years and a half. I quit working in 2002. I have not used my CNA certification since then. I know that I have to take a retest but I was wondering could I take it online if not, do you know the name or number to where I can go to retest to activate my CNA again. I live in Fremont, North Carolina and i took my CNA course at Johnston Community College in Smithfield, North Carolina and i worked in Goldsboro, North Carolina at Primecare Physicians. To return to active status as a nursing assistant on the North Carolina CNA registry you must indeed retake the nurse aide exam. You may not challenge the state test online, but only at one of the state-approved testing locations. The state contractor for administering the nursing assistant examination in North Carolina is Pearson Vue. First you need to print and complete an application for challenging the test. The form may be found here: Application for Registration by Competency Examination. Make sure you complete the entire form and submit any copies of required documents. For the eligibility route in your application I believe the last choice applies to you ("North Carolina Nurse Aide I Registry Candidates"). You may also schedule the exam at one of these available testing locations: Regional Test Sites. Read Answers to Related Questions How can I verify if my California CNA certification is still valid?

D1026274	http://criminalminds.wikia.com/wiki/Emily_Prentiss	Emily Prentiss	in: Criminal Minds Characters, Main Characters, Profilers, and 5 more Emily Prentiss View source Comments Share Error setting up player: Invalid license key Main Character Name Emily Prentiss Alias Em Lauren Reynolds Numerous unspecified others Gender Female Birth Date October 12, 1970Family Elizabeth Prentiss (mother) Unnamed father (status unknown) Unborn child (deceased) Unnamed grandfather (deceased) Unnamed cousin Job BAU Unit Chief Communications Director Former chief of the London Interpol Office Former BAU Supervisory Special Agent Former JTF-12 member Specialty Linguistics Child Advocacy Terrorism Status Alive Portrayed By Paget Brewster Danielle Lester (young)First Appearance The Last Word“ I belong in this unit. And all I'm asking you for is the chance to show that. ”— Prentiss in " The Last Word "Emily Prentiss is the current Unit Chief of the BAU who first joined the team two episodes after Elle Greenaway resigned from the FBI for good. At the end of Season Seven, she resigned from the BAU and accepted a position with Interpol in London. She was replaced by Alex Blake, who held the position until her own departure at the end of Season Nine. The position was then taken over by Kate Callahan for the duration of Season Ten before her own departure. She rejoined the team in Season Twelve and was then promoted to Unit Chief following the resignation of Aaron Hotchner. For a time, she was placed on suspension, pending an investigation by Assistant Director Linda Barnes; her position taken over by Jennifer Jareau temporally. Contents [ show]Background Due to her mother's diplomatic background, Prentiss traveled a lot when she was a child, living in several middle eastern countries and at one point in Rome. In " Demonology ", she reveals that from wanting to fit in, she became pregnant as a teenager in Rome. When she went to talk to her priest, he said that if she got an abortion, she would not be welcome in the church. Her friend Matthew Benton encouraged her to go to an abortion clinic, and after the abortion, he helped her find the courage to come back to church. In " Tabula Rasa ", Garcia reveals that Prentiss graduated from Garfield High School in 1989 and that she was a goth at the time. In her first appearance, she recognizes Hotch from one of his first commands: security clearances for her mother, Elizabeth Prentiss, a U. S. diplomat. Her arrival surprises both Hotch and Gideon, as neither of them had signed off on the transfer. Prentiss insists her parents have not pulled strings for her. Ultimately, she joins the team at the end of " The Last Word " on a probationary basis as a replacement for Agent Elle Greenaway . She is a graduate of Chesapeake Bay University, where she earned her B. A. in Criminal Justice (" Annihilator ") and the University of Yale and has been working for the FBI for a little under ten years, primarily in the Midwest. Due to spending her early life with her parents on diplomatic missions to the Middle East, she speaks fluent Arabic and is familiar with that area's local culture. She also speaks fluent Spanish, French, and Italian and some Russian. She appears skilled at chess, and it is possible that she is better at the game than Reid. JJ once asked Prentiss how she could handle the stress from being with the BAU, especially since her last position was a desk job. Hotch concurred that she had "never blinked," and Prentiss could only reason that she "compartmentalizes better than most" (" Revelations "). After a bad date in the following episode, she admits to Morgan that she is a "nerd," despite how much she tries to hide it. For this reason, she hasn't had much success romantically. She discovers that she and Morgan share similar tastes in books when they begin discussing Kurt Vonnegut, particularly Slaughterhouse 5 . Personality Prentiss is very level-headed and calm, sometimes it could be said that she seems to be dealing with the cases in an even more professional manner than some other members of the BAU. However, on a few occasions, like Elle before her, Prentiss lets her own emotions get the better of her. She has been shown to react emotionally at the crime scenes and feels a strong surge of empathy for the victims. She also appears highly intelligent and driven. Prentiss is willing to put herself at risk to protect others and has a very sarcastic sense of humor. On the Job Emily Prentiss on the job. At the end of Season Two, BAU Section Chief Erin Strauss reveals to Prentiss that she arranged for her to join the BAU, contrary to Prentiss's belief that she was accepted on her own merit. Strauss asks Prentiss to sabotage Hotch's career by spying on him and relaying confidences back to Strauss, especially concerning Elle Greenaway's shooting of a suspect and Reid's struggle with Dilaudid. She seems to consider this offer, and the season ends with a cliffhanger until the second episode of Season Three, in which she resigns from the FBI to avoid betraying Hotch. She decided later not to resign. Season Three Prentiss has previously told Hotch in " Sex, Birth, Death " that she thinks politics "makes people distrustful, hate themselves, tear families apart and damage people," implying that her home life as a child was not pleasant, due to her mother's job. After some convincing from Hotch, she returns to the team in the next episode, her resignation having never gone through system due to technical interference from Garcia, and the issue has not been brought up since. Upon her return, Section Chief Strauss remarks that neither Prentiss, Hotch, nor the rest of the team would be able to climb the ladder to the top because of all this, thus putting an end to some of Prentiss's future ambitions. In " Tabula Rasa ", a high school photo reveals that Emily was a goth. Also, in " 3rd Life ", she implies to Hotch that she smoked as an adolescent as a way to rebel against her parents. In the season finale " Lo-Fi ", she shoots and kills an armed suspect after the suspect shoots a New York police officer. Season Four In the episode " Minimal Loss ", she and Reid are held hostage by a religious cult. When the cult leader finds out that one of them is an FBI agent, Prentiss admits her identity, partially to protect Reid, and ends up getting beaten by the leader. Prentiss antagonizes the leader by twice repeating "I can take it" to keep the rest of the team from coming in, knowing that they are listening via bugs and that it would put everyone inside of the building in danger. Later, Prentiss reassures Reid that it was not his fault and asks him not to feel guilty. Season Five In " Retaliation ", Prentiss is in a car accident while transporting a prisoner to the local police station. Despite sustaining severe injuries, Prentiss manages to escape the police cruiser via the windshield and fire on the fleeing suspects as they escape. Morgan finds Prentiss on the roadside and she is taken to the hospital where she is treated for a concussion and several cuts and contusions. She insists on quickly returning to the job and plays an instrumental role in solving the case. Season Six Emily in a flashback in Lauren. In " Compromising Positions ", she risks her life and is nearly killed while going undercover in order to dissuade a mentally-unstable unsub who is in the company of numerous bar patrons and employees, all in danger of being gunned down. When she accidentally gets one of the unsub's facts wrong, he is provoked into shooting her, but she shoots him first, firing her pistol hidden in a purse. Prentiss then watches as he dies. In " The Thirteenth Step ", Prentiss learns from a former colleague at Interpol, Sean Mc Callister, that Ian Doyle, an apparently highly dangerous criminal, has escaped from his North Korean prison and gone off the grid and apparently killed a man and stole his car. Sean warned her that he might come after her and that everyone is in danger. In the beginning of " Sense Memory ", in her apartment, when the phone rings and the caller ID is unknown, Prentiss lets it go to message and listens to the recording. The caller, presumably Doyle, is completely silent and hangs up. In response, Prentiss sets up some noise-traps near all entrances and exits in the apartment, sits down in the hallway with a gun, turns off the lights, and waits. When Prentiss returns to her apartment after a case, she finds a package by her door. When she opens the package, it turns out to contain a small, purple-white flower. There is a flashback to some time earlier when she is working in a flowerbed filled with the same flowers, apparently by a mansion somewhere in France. When authorities, presumably Interpol, arrive and drive away with her, Doyle watches her from a balcony. He calls someone and tells the other person to "stay on on top of [it]". As he is arrested by English-speaking authorities, he looks down at one of the flowers that Prentiss dropped. In " Coda ", Doyle resurfaced in D. C., confronting Prentiss and warning her that he will seek revenge on her soon before leaving. Soon after in " Valhalla ", he began killing people connected to his case as well as their families. During the investigation, he kills one of Prentiss's former colleagues, Tsia Mosely. It is also revealed that Prentiss, Sean, Tsia, and two other colleagues were part of a team assembled by Interpol that profiled terrorists and helped apprehend them, codenamed JTF-12 . In " Lauren ", Prentiss goes after him alone. As she attacks him and his men near The Black Shamrock, a bar in Boston at which he and Prentiss (as "Lauren Reynolds") first met. As she holds a submachine gun at his men, he flanks her and shoots her in the abdomen. She survives, wearing a bulletproof vest, and is abducted and taken to the group's HQ. She is tortured and beaten as Doyle recounts what happened after his arrest: he was taken to a prison in North Korea, where he resisted in interrogation for two years, hoping to see his son, Declan, again. When he was shown a series of pictures of Declan and his legal guardian being executed by a mostly unseen figure, he broke down completely and would remain there for another five years. Unbeknownst to him, the pictures were actually staged by Prentiss in order to save Declan from his father's life. The BAU, having found the photos, notices that the nails of the hand holding the gun are completely bitten down; Prentiss was a compulsive nail biter when nervous. Obtaining the address of the house, they conduct a stealth raid on it, killing all of Doyle's men. As Doyle, furious to learn how he was deceived by Prentiss, begins furiously beating her. She gets the upper hand and knocks him to the floor with a wooden stick. Once she drops it, Doyle grabs it and stabs it into her abdomen. Hearing the gunfire approach, he escapes and isn't seen for the rest of the episode. The BAU arrive and take Prentiss to a hospital, where they are told that she didn't survive. They all attend Prentiss' funeral. Her headstone is marked "Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity", the motto of the FBI. In the final scene, JJ is seen approaching a woman (whose face is unseen) in France and giving her passports for three different countries and a bank account in each one. The woman's hands are shown to the viewers to have completely bitten-down nails, implying that it is Prentiss, who is alive and has faked her own death in order to go into hiding from Doyle, thus protecting the rest of the BAU team from him. The rest of the team missed her dearly and struggled to cope with the loss for the remainder of the season. Season Seven In " It Takes a Village ", she reunites with the team when they are forced to team up with Doyle in an effort to save Declan from a trio of international criminals seeking revenge on Doyle. Although they are successful in saving Declan, Doyle is shot and mortally wounded by the trio's leader, dying as Prentiss watches in shock. In " Proof ", Prentiss and JJ received the cold shoulder from Reid because he was not informed that she was still alive after Doyle supposedly "killed" her, viewing that as betrayal. She eventually made amends with Reid, telling him that she regretted every moment of not letting him know but that it was necessary in order to protect herself and more importantly, the team. She reminds him that while he lost one friend, she lost six. Reid forgave her and they became friends again. In " Unknown Subject ", Prentiss started to deal with her traumatic experience caused by Doyle. This is particularly evidenced by her personal connection with Regina Lampert, a victim of a serial rapist whom she later abducts, tortures, and tries to kill in revenge. In " A Thin Line ", Prentiss is shot in the arm by the unsub. She is temporarily injured and forced to wear a sling. Morgan feels guilty that Prentiss was again hurt on his watch and tries to apologize to Prentiss. After gently teasing him, Prentiss tells Morgan that what happened to her was not his fault, it was just part of the job. In " Divining Rod ", Prentiss places a sealed bid on a house in the upscale Du Pont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D. C. When her bid is accepted, Prentiss seems reluctant to go forward with the purchase. At the beginning of " Hit ", Morgan joins Prentiss on an inspection of the Du Pont Circle house. She shares with Morgan her doubts about going through with purchasing a home. When the team is called in to work a bank robbery and hostage situation, Clyde Easter contacts Prentiss to help identify one of the robbers, an international criminal. Clyde also offers her a position at Interpol, as chief of the London office. She appears to consider the offer. In " Run ", Prentiss risks her life to defuse a bomb attached to William La Montagne, Jr. At JJ and Will's wedding, Prentiss confesses to Morgan that she is unable to feel comfortable in her old life after her near-death encounter with Doyle and subsequent period of hiding. She admits that she is strongly considering Clyde's job offer. At JJ's reception, Prentiss is shown looking mournfully at the rest of the team before joining each of them to dance. It is implied that she will leave the team and accept the job at Interpol. Season Eight In the Season Eight premiere " The Silencer ", Morgan and Garcia come back from England, where Morgan was on temporary duty, after visiting Prentiss. They say she has settled in nicely. She is possibly referenced in " Magnificent Light ", when Morgan and Garcia discuss about a friend of the former's, who comes from England, and Garcia makes a comment that " [they] like England, remember? "Season Nine Prentiss was mentioned in " To Bear Witness ", when Garcia reveals that she had to ask her for assistance in finding any potential past victims of an unsub who performs lobotomy on his victims; this led to the discovery of a victim in Berlin, Germany. In " 200 ", Prentiss returned to the United States and assisted the BAU after JJ was abducted. She was also able to meet Alex Blake for the first time. Season Ten It is revealed that after Blake's departure from the BAU, Hotch had tried reenlisting Prentiss to the position, but she declined. Season Eleven Prentiss reappears in " Tribute ", when she enlists the help of the BAU in catching an international copycat serial killer. She had become personally involved in the case since 2015, when the unsub began killing London prostitutes in an emulation of Jack the Ripper; her efforts to apprehend him failed and resulted in the death of an undercover police officer, Detective Inspector Louise Hulland. It is revealed that she has been in a relationship with a man named Mark for some time. She is also having recurring nightmares about Louise's death, which she had personally witnessed. Prentiss eventually gets closure in the case when she and the rest of the BAU corner the unsub, who she shoots and kills. Season Twelve When Hotch had to leave on temporary assignment in " Taboo ", Prentiss volunteered to rejoin the BAU during his absence. A few weeks later, during " Elliott's Pond ", it is revealed that Hotch, in reality, had resigned from the FBI and gone into witness protection with his son Jack to avoid escaped serial killer by proxy Peter Lewis, who had been actively stalking Jack. He had also named Prentiss his successor as BAU Unit Chief. Season Thirteen Notes Prentiss was named after a great friend and fellow coworker of Criminal Minds 's advisor, Jim Clemente, who wrote her first episode working full-time with the BAU, Lessons Learned . Prentiss' namesake later made a cameo appearance in two episodes as a victim of Floyd Feylinn Ferell . Her sidearm was a Glock 19 . Since the Season 13 episodes " Neon Terror " and " False Flag ", she is seen instead using a Heckler & Koch P2000SK. She speaks Spanish ( Catching Out, A Rite of Passage , A Thin Line ), Arabic ( Lessons Learned ), French ( Lauren ), and Italian ( Demonology) fluently; her Russian, to her admittance, is "not very good" ( Honor Among Thieves ). She also has at least some basic knowledge of more Eastern European languages, like Romanian ( Bloodline ). Her transfer to the BAU was not known to Hotch, and he was caught off guard when she reported for duty. Her first case was in the episode " Lessons Learned ", where she helped to interrogate Jamal Abaza behind the scenes. A high school photo of Prentiss, found by Penelope Garcia. Prentiss does not remember this. According to Reid, she was born on October 12 at 7:12 a.m. ( Cold Comfort ). He is, however, cut off by Prentiss before he can say the year. " [N]ineteen-se-" can only be heard by viewers. Garcia says that Prentiss graduated from Garfield High School in 1989 ( Tabula Rasa ). This places her birth year anywhere from 1970 to 1972. Due to her birthday being October, she was likely born in 1972. During her funeral, her tombstone can be seen. The date of birth listed on the tombstone is October 12, 1970. ( Lauren )At the age of fifteen, she was impregnated (the father being implied as childhood friend John Cooley) and had an abortion in Italy ( Demonology ). Her mother is an ambassador and she spent her childhood traveling all over the world. She lived in an expensive Georgetown apartment while in college and "was determined to make it", so she worked as a waitress on the weekends, but she sucked at her job and accepted her mother's money to pay for it; both pretended that it wasn't even happening. ( The Performer ). Has a black cat named Sergio that appeared in Sense Memory. After her "death", Garcia took care of him until Prentiss returned in It Takes a Village. Prentiss would later use Sergio as an excuse to her psychiatrist that she is recovering, stating that she dates him. Incidentally, Hotch suggests "Sergio" as a name for his and Haley 's then-unborn child in the pilot episode Extreme Aggressor . Prentiss has two tattoos which Ian Doyle asks her about before he brands her with a clover. ( Lauren )JJ, Reid, and Garcia are the few to call Prentiss by her first name, Emily. The others just call her Prentiss, though Morgan called her Emily a few times. She mentioned she quit caffeine to help her relax more. ( Dorado Falls )After Morgan had mentioned Prentiss had to live in Reston, Virginia for a while, Garcia confirmed that she had rented a big house in a cul-de-sac there before they met her to be closer to Declan. Later Ian Doyle also confirmed that she likes cul-de-sacs. ( It Takes a Village )She once dated a golfer who owned a total of twelve putters. ( From Childhood's Hour )Her grandfather retired to the French Alps mountains and lived there until he died. There was a 10-year stretch where he didn't come down off the mountain. He had no electricity, no running water, and his food supplies came from the land. Emily spent time with him whenever she and her mother were in France, which was often. ( Open Season )When feeling disillusioned and/or frustrated about a case, she likes to go to the shooting range ( Tribute, Profiling 202 ). Prentiss has left and rejoined the BAU twice, a record for a main character in this show. For the first time, she temporarily had to go into hiding from Ian Doyle in Season Six, but rejoined the team in Season Seven after Doyle's death . For the second time, she accepted a position in Interpol at the end of Season Seven because she was unable to work with the BAU anymore (due to the complicated events with Doyle). She unofficially rejoined in Season Twelve to assist the manhunts of several escaped serial killers, then officially took up the Unit Chief position after Hotch resigned due to his son being stalked by one of the BAU's targets .

It is the largest city in eastern Alabama. In 2009, it had a population of 57,833. [1] It is a principal city of the Auburn-Opelika Metropolitan Area. Auburn is a college town and is the home of Auburn University. Auburn is known for its fast growing during the last years. It is currently the fastest growing metropolitan area in Alabama. It is also the nineteenth-fastest growing metro area in the United States since 1990. Auburn is among the top ten list of best places to live in United States for the year 2009. [2] The city's unofficial nickname is “The Loveliest Village On The Plains”. This comes from a line in the poem “The Deserted Village” by Oliver Goldsmith: “Sweet Auburn! loveliest village of the plain...” [3]Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Geography3 Law and Government4 Economy5 References History [ change \| change source]Toomer’s Corner; Downtown Auburn, Alabama by night. The first settlers arrived in the winter of 1836 from Harris County, Georgia. The leader of these settlers was the judge John J. Harper. They wanted to build a town that would be the religious and educational center for this area. Auburn was firstly official mentioned on February 2, 1839. At this time it covered an area of 2 square miles (5.2 square kilometres). By that time, Methodist and Baptist churches and also a school were built. In the mid-1840s, different academies for boys and girls were founded in addition to the primary school. By 1858, of the about 1,000 free residents of Auburn, some 500 were students. In 1856, the state legislature allowed to build a Methodist college, the East Alabama Male College in Auburn. This college, now Auburn University, opened its doors in 1859. It offered a classical and liberal education. With the Civil War in 1861, Auburn quickly emptied. All of the schools and most businesses closed. Auburn was the site of a hospital for Texan Confederate soldiers. After the Civil War, Auburn went in a long depression. Public schools did not reopen until the mid-1870s. Most businesses remained closed. A series of fires in the 1860s and 1870s burned down the downtown area. East Alabama Male College was turned over to the state in 1872. In 1892, the college became the first four-year college in Alabama where women are allowed to study. This, combined with new funding businesses, allowed the city to start expanding again. By 1910, Auburn's population had returned to its pre- war level. SIAA Conference championships won by the Auburn college’s football team brought attention and support to Auburn. It helped fill the city's coffers. Money began to flow into Auburn again with America's entry into World War II. Auburn’s campus was turned into a training ground for technical specialists in the armed forces. After the war, Auburn was flooded by soldiers returning to school on the G. I. Bill. Because of this increase of students, Auburn began a period of growth that lasted through the 1950s and 1960s. Auburn grew outside of the original boundaries of the city. Auburn grew to an area of nearly 24 square miles (62 square kilometres). In 1957, the construction of Interstate 85 began. This connected Auburn to the major cities of the state. It allowed for Auburn University to schedule more home football games in Auburn. It also pushed the tourism sector in Auburn. Growth slowed somewhat in the 1970s. A series of budget cuts made it clear that Auburn's economic concentration on Auburn University put the city in a bad position. Downtown Auburn, Alabama. A series of reports in the 1980s and 1990s made the Auburn public school system among the top in the state. Between 1980 and 2003, Auburn's population grew by 65%. Auburn's economy expanded by 220%. With growth came issues of urban sprawl. This has become the primary political issue in Auburn at the turn of the 21st century.

D professor, and chair of the Department of Health Science at California State University, Los Angeles, is the new chair of L. A. Care's Board of Governors for a one-year term. Dr. Zelman leads a 13-member stakeholder board, which includes representatives of community clinics, hospitals, federally qualified health centers, doctors, members, advocates, and Los Angeles County. Dr. Zelman has been an L. A. Care board member for over seven years, representing the Knox-Keene Licenced Pre-Paid Health Plans. He served as vice chair for five years. "With the coming of the new health care law and the 1115 Medi-Cal Waiver, L. A. Care will play an even more critical role in ensuring that quality health care is delivered to vulnerable and low-income populations in Los Angeles County," says Dr. Zelman. "The changes will create both challenges and opportunities for LA Care. I am strongly committed to working with myfellow board members to meet those challenges and make the most of those opportunities." Dr. Zelman also serves on the Board of Advisors for the Insure the Uninsured Project, a non-partisan organization created to increase coverage for the 6.6 million uninsured in California. As a health policy expert Dr. Zelman has published two books and numerous articles on health care markets and policy, including studies of California's 2007-2008 effort to achieve health reform, and of the possible role of Medicaid-focused health plans in the exchanges to be created under health reform.

In addition to phasing out the expansion of Medicaid, the Senate bill also would result in reduced funding for the program, he said. "The biggest impact on young people is the dismantling of Medicaid," Zelman said. In California alone, Zelman said, hundreds of thousands of young people won't be able to access Medi-Cal, California's version of Medicaid, if the expansion is phased out. Zelman, who worked to enroll California State University students into health coverage under Obamacare, said that historically the highest percentages of uninsured people have been young adults, low-income residents, part-time workers and Latinos. "Those are my students," he said. "And, more generally, those are young people overall. ... Anything that threatens [their] access to health is bad for them," he said.

Choose porridge over cereal: Hot oatmeal breakfast keeps you fuller for longer and staves off hunger pangs Calorie-for-calorie, porridge is more filling than an oat-based cereal Porridge is also more satisfying and better at reducing the desire to eat This could be because it is more viscous than cereal, the researchers say By Emma Innes Published: 07:04 EDT, 11 June 2014 \| Updated: 08:32 EDT, 11 June 2014130View comments One of the greatest challenges of dieting is to make low calorie meals that are filling enough to reduce the temptation to snack. And now it seems that porridge is a better breakfast option than cereal. New research suggests that calorie-for-calorie, a serving of porridge is more filling than a bowl of oat-based cereal.+2A serving of porridge is a more filling breakfast than a bowl of oat-based cereal, new research suggests The researchers, who published their findings in the Nutrition Journal, found that eating porridge for breakfast is more satisfying helps manage hunger better than cereal. Dr Frank Greenway and colleagues at the Pennington Biomedical Research Centre at Louisiana State University tested three different oat-based, 217 calorie breakfasts. The results showed that instant oatmeal enhanced satiety, feelings of fullness and reduced the desire to eat more than an oat-based cereal did.

Share this article The study involved 43 people who, following an overnight fast, were given three different breakfasts in random order at least a week apart. Each breakfast consisted of 150 calories of instant oatmeal, old-fashioned oatmeal or a cereal, plus 67 calories of lactose-free skimmed milk. After eating the breakfasts, the participants' hunger and satiety were assessed at 30, 60, 120, 180 and 240 minutes.+2It is thought that the viscosity of porridge makes it more filling than an equally calorific bowl of cereal The results showed that when subjects ate instant oatmeal, they reported less hunger compared to when they ate cereal. Oatmeal also provided increased fullness and a reduced desire to eat more. The researchers say the viscosity of the porridge was higher than the cereal which could explain the differences in hunger.‘This study demonstrates that the unique characteristics of oatmeal have a significant impact on fullness and desire to eat – even when matched for calories and ingredients [oats] with another breakfast option,’ said Dr Greenway.‘We found instant oatmeal to be more effective at suppressing appetite compared to the cold cereal, even with a smaller serving size and less calories than previously investigated.’Advertisement Share or comment on this article Brewery removes 'sexist, distasteful' pub adverts showing...

Discussion in ' Digestive Disorders ' started by Sunny Star, Feb 3, 2006 . Sunny Star New Member Joined: Jan 18, 2004Messages: 59Likes Received: 0Hello everyone I've bad breath now for a while and wondering would it be from having mucus? I find I have alot of it at the back of my throat area - do you think this would cause bad breath? Its really embarrassing as I floss, brush, don't eat dairy products etc. Anyone know how I could treat the condition? Sunny Star#1Sunny Star, Feb 3, 2006seven New Member Joined: Oct 15, 2003Messages: 489Likes Received: 0RE: Would Mucus cause Bad Breath? Yes, Post nasal drip can cause bad breath. Post nasal drip is when mucus drips to the back of the throat, tonsils and ocassionally to the back of the tongue. Odour forming bacteria feast on the mucus (its like a gormet meal to them) thus giving off volatile sulphur compounds which cause bad breath. Are you sure you have bad breath? Ask someone you trust 1st. Things that can help: - Cut down on mucus forming foods (dairy products) -as you have already stated - Add ginger, cayenne pepper and other heat foring foods to your diet (the liquify mucus) - Have an allergy test for things like dust mite, cat hair ect - Drink warm water often (breaks down mucus) and finally, if your really brave, try jala neti, its a yogic cleansing ritual where you use a neti pot and irrigate the sinuses with warm salt water (you put the nosil in one nostril, tip your head to the side and it comes out of the other nostril - its suprisingly refreshing.) It cleans out the whole of the ear, nose and throat areas. In the meantime, sucking on cloves can help with the smell. Hope this helps seven#2seven, Feb 7, 2006Sunny Star New Member Joined: Jan 18, 2004Messages: 59Likes Received: 0RE: Would Mucus cause Bad Breath? Hi seven Thanks for your reply. After doing abit of research online a few days ago I found out what you had mentioned called'post nasal drip'. I wasn't aware of the condition and your right to cut down in dairy products etc. I've found a product which is apparently very good in treating the problem and am waiting for it to arrive in the post.

There's truly nothing to be brave about. It doesn't hurt, is not uncomfortable - what's to be brave about? I don't know why seven would say this. And it does feel very refreshing. With regard to cleaning the tongue, a specific tongue cleaner is a much better idea than using a toothbrush, spoon etc. It's just a narrow strip of bendy metal or plastic which you scrape gently over the tongue after cleaning the teeth. Amazing the gunk that comes off. xxx#6sunanda, Jun 17, 2008bill2008New Member Joined: Jun 12, 2008Messages: 4Likes Received: 0Sunanda, just wondering.

Hi i am new here looking on the net for the same solution as i have mucus down the back of my throat causing very bad breath. Had this for years now !!! sunny you said you had ordered a product to help get rid of this. Did it work ?? and what product was this ?? I currently brush teeth 3 times a day and use a tongue scrapper with a zinc based gel to help get rid of the smelly bacteria at least on my tongue. Cant get to the back of my throat though to stop the main cause of this, my GP just prescribed a over the counter nasal spray which did nothing to help !! It's embarrassing as friends recoil from me and i know why ! !Click to expand...#10lee41, Apr 10, 2010 Last edited by a moderator: Apr 10, 2010myarka New Member Joined: Sep 30, 2008Messages: 5,205Likes Received: 8I don't agree Mucus can cause bad breath, it's caused by bacteria in the mouth. While brushing teeth is important, it will not in itself prevent bad breath. In order of priority you need to consider the following: - Flossing - Mouth wash, - What is the condition of your gums? - what is your diet? Modern living creates an environment where mouth bacteria can thrive. Look at the causes and don't treat the symptoms and you will crack an easy problem to solve.

D2805278	http://www.quiethomelab.com/best-quiet-coffee-grinders/	The Best Quiet Coffee Grinders 2018 â Early Birds Can Use Them So Others Can Sleep	The Best Quiet Coffee Grinders 2018 – Early Birds Can Use Them So Others Can Sleep Nancy Quiet Kitchen Stuff Other than a blender, I think that a coffee grinder is probably one of the loudest kitchen gadgets that you can own. Even if you have never owned one yourself, you have probably been in a grocery store or coffee shop when one is in use. Yeah, you can’t miss that sound. When you think about what this coffee gadget does though, it is no surprise that is makes a heck of a lot of noise. That being said, there are some models that are quieter than others. My Old Loud Coffee Grinder My first coffee grinder was a cheap Mr. Coffee one that I got off Amazon for a steal. At the time, I was not aware that some of these things make deafening sounds when you’re grinding beans. And since you want to grind your coffee beans right before you make your coffee, that means lots of loud noise in the early morning hours when other family members or roommates are still trying to sleep. To give you an idea of what I’m talking about, I found a video on You Tube where someone runs one of the Mr Coffee grinders. Check it out below (first grinding is at about 1:28). Mr Coffee Grinder Models IDS 55 and IDS 77Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 3:10The Mr Coffee model that I owned was not either of the two in the video and it was MUCH louder! Needless to say, that model only lasted a few months in my house before I had to replace it with one that makes less noise. Finding the quietest coffee grinder for the money is not as easy as you might think. A lot of manufacturers claim that their grinder is quiet or doesn’t make a lot of noise, but I found that to not be true in all cases. As you may know, there are different types of grinders out there, but I prefer the burr grinders so that is what I shopped for when doing my comparisons. An Overview of the different types of coffee grinders Most coffee drinkers will agree that the best cup of Joe is brewed with fresh ground beans. And with the growing demand of the perfect brew, connoisseurs can now find an array of coffee grinders to fit their needs. Today you can find numerous types of coffee grinders. On the whole, there are basically three types of grinders – hand grinders (manual), blade grinders and burr grinders. Hand Grinders (Manual)Hand grinders or manual grinders are the quietest since they do not have a motor. Hand grinders are also the most economical. Although hand grinding may seem rather tedious and inconvenient, it is one of the most ritualistic ways of grinding coffee in European countries. This is because it is a more personal experience that ensures you grind the amount of beans needed for your cup of brew. Compared to electronic varieties, manual coffee grinders are more reliable. Not only can you count on them when the electricity fails but they have a more simple design with fewer parts that fail. Moreover, hand grinders deliver a more uniform and consistent grind then even the most expensive electronic devices. Top of the line hand grinders generally utilize ceramic or stainless steel burrs to crush your coffee beans. In addition, the top quality grinders are encased in glass or wood. BEST SELLING MANUAL COFFEE GRINDERBlade Grinders Blade grinders are one of the most popular. They are like tiny blenders that can rotate their blades at high RPMs. The high speeds pulsating action allows the beans to be ground in a matter of seconds. Although the quick action grinding can save time, the fast speed can create heat from the friction. Unfortunately, heat pulsation causes oxidation which can affect the flavor of your coffee. In addition, blade grinders do not generally have a uniform grind. This is because the blade only contacts a tiny portion of the bowl while grinding. The lack of uniformity will often affect the flavor of the brew. Bit all in all, the blade grinder is quick to grinding your coffee and has a reasonable price. BEST SELLING BLADE COFFEE GRINDERBurr Grinders Burr grinders are electronic mills that utilize burrs to pulverize the coffee beans. According to many experts, they are the “cream of the crop” or top-of-the-line coffee grinder. They have the largest class, have numerous features and are most expensive. In fact, many connoisseurs agree that burr grinders are superior to other types of coffee grinders. BEST SELLING BURR GRINDERSThere are three major distinctions between burr grinders and blade grinders:• Blade grinders use the same bowl for grinding. However, burr grinders utilize a separate bean container called a hopper. The hopper is an air-tight compartment that stores your coffee beans in between grindings.• Blade grinders keep the beans within the grinding container. while burr grinders generally transport the coffee into a chute. When finished, the grounds are deposited from the shoot into a container. Some of the fancier versions will transport the grounds directly to a coffee filter holder.• Another feature of the burr grinder is that you can easily adjust the coarseness of the grind. Whereas, blade grinders have no settings for coarseness. The burr grinder settings consist of a variety of coarseness adjustments that accommodates different grinds for specific brews. The size of the grind is determined by modifying the size between the two burrs. As a rule of thumb, the closer the burrs are together, the finer the grind. Here’s the best quiet coffee grinders on the market. Java Presse Manual Coffee Grinder Have you been looking for a sleek, quiet, and attractive coffee grinder that can give you the tasty coffee grind that you have been yearning for? If yes, Java Presse’s manual coffee grinder would be an option to consider. Java Presse manual coffee grinder is constructed from high-grade stainless steel, a durable frame that can resist the wear and tear resulting from regular coffee grinding. The coffee grinder also utilizes ceramic combo burrs that can last five times longer than the steel blades used in most coffee grinders. Most coffee lovers regard Java Presse manual coffee grinder as an excellent option for hiking, camping, or any other outdoor event since it does not use electricity or batteries. Its compact size and lightweight consume less storage space in your backpack or travel case. Different from some noisy electric grinders, this manual type utilizes a hand crank mechanism that runs silently. In fact, the unit is 90 percent less loud than most electric coffee grinders. Java Presse coffee grinder has an integrated grind selector with eighteen different settings that let you regulate your coffee’s coarseness according to your unique coffee brewing needs. It comes with a user manual and money back guarantee. Kitchen Aid Coffee Grinder The Kitchen Aid coffee grinder is another excellent option that can help you produce fresh coffee ground that you can use to make your favorite coffee drinks. This coffee grinder is constructed from stainless steel with an empire red, espresso, or onyx black finish. The variation lets you purchase a unit with your most favored color. Kitchen Aid coffee grinder utilizes study stainless steel blades to grind your coffee beans into the texture you want. Its heavy-duty motor delivers a powerful performance that lets you produce enough coffee to make 12 cups of beverage in one go. Unlike some coffee grinders that are quite cumbersome to use, Kitchen Aid coffee grinder’s one-touch control eliminates the hassle. The straightforward operation entails pushing down the unit’s clear top cover to start grinding and releasing it to stop grinding. The Kitchen Aid coffee grinder has a calibrated removable steel bowl that lets you grind the appropriate quantity of coffee that you need to make your beverage. The bowl has markings for 4, 8, 10, and 12 cups of coffee. Kitchen Aid coffee grinder’s bowl lifts out quickly to let you transfer the grinds as well as clean it. The unit’s powerful motor runs silently, and its one-year replacement warranty gives you the freedom to return the grinder if it fails to work as advertised. AVAILABLE ON AMAZONOR ADD TO YOUR AMAZON CARTCapresso Infinity Conical Burr If you want a good, quiet burr grinder under $100 – $200, then I think that this Capresso 560.01 Infinity Burr Grinder is your best bet right here. In fact, this is the model that I ended up keeping in my kitchen. That being said, it is not the best that money can buy, but still a great value for the money and probably the cheapest quiet burr coffee grinder on the market (of those that I’ve tried). If you want a quiet, compact sized coffee grinder that can help you produce enough grind for your beverage within the shortest time, then Capresso infinity conical burr would be an ideal option. Capresso infinity conical burr is constructed from a heavy-duty die-cast zinc to withstand the wear that results from regular coffee grinding. The coffee grinder is available in black and stainless color finishes letting you purchase a mill whose finish pleases you. The coffee grinder utilizes a powerful but quiet 100- watt motor and commercial grade conical burrs to grind 8.5 ounces of coffee grinds for as short as 60 seconds do. The short grinding time preserves the coffee’s aroma and flavor. Depending on your choice, you can adjust the unit to 16 settings to produce coarse, regular, fine, or extra fine grinds. A built-in electronic timer lets you set the grinding time from 5 to 60 seconds. Therefore, you do not have to operate your grinder since it will switch off automatically after the set time elapses. The coffee grinder is compact, and it weighs around 8 pounds. The two qualities make the grinder portable. It comes with a cleaning brush to let you clean the unit. What I like about this model:looks great with my stainless steel & black appliancescan hold an entire bag of coffee beans in the top partcommercial grade coffee equipment at consumer priceslots of settings for your bean grindmade in Europe, where they take coffee seriouslydecent cleaning brush included I like that this is considered a commercial grade coffee grinder at such a low price point. It is available in retail stores as well as online stores!AVAILABLE ON AMAZONYou get to choose from 16 different grind settings and they are all so much quieter than many of the other models out there. This nifty coffee gadget is actually hand assembled in Switzerland, which is really amazing when you consider low how the price is for it. The components are all very high quality, though I do wish it used ceramic instead of steel. Grind settings range from Turkish coffee super fine grind to very coarse grind. The motor does the grinding slowly, which is why the noise from it is so much quieter than other models. It’s also worth noting that it comes with a measuring cup and cleaning brush. So, if you order online, do not be fooled into thinking that you need a separate brush unless you just want one. The grind is very consistent and you don’t have to worry about that coffee dust that some lower end models create when grinding beans. What I don’t like about this model:the price tagthe size of it While I do think that you get a good value for the price, there is no denying that this thing is not as cheap compared to a lot of other grinders on the market. However, when you compare the noise level to those cheaper options, I think it is easy to see why this is really as low as you want to go in terms of the cheap choice. Another thing that I am not a fan of with this one is the size and amount of space that it takes up on my counter. Sure, it looks great on a granite countertop but it is about the same size as a coffee maker! This is probably due to the fact that the top can hold an entire bag of coffee beans. Baratza Encore conical coffee grinder Baratza Encore coffee grinder would be a good option for coffee lovers who wish to own a coffee mill that produces coffee grounds with a consistent size and texture. This quiet coffee grinder is constructed from a robust plastic frame to serve you long. Different from most of its competitors, Baratza Encore coffee grinder utilizes a slow but high torque motor that can be regulated into 40 grind settings to give you the exact texture required for your coffee drink. Besides its power, the motor also produces less sound, and it does not overheat even after a prolonged period of use. Baratza Encore coffee grinder measures 12 cm wide, 16cm long, and it stands 35cm tall, and it weighs 7 lbs. The compact size consumes less space in your kitchen while the lightweight let you carry it around comfortably. AVAILABLE ON AMAZONor ADD TO YOUR AMAZON CARTHario Skerton Ceramic Coffee Mill Hario Skerton’s ceramic coffee mill is another good option for people who wish to own a quiet, compact size and lightweight coffee grinder that they can use at home or while camping. The coffee grinder is constructed from high-quality glassware and plastic that can hold up for some reasonable time. The quiet coffee grinder utilizes powerful ceramic burrs to grind your coffee beans manually to the texture you need to prepare your favorite coffee drink. The ceramic burrs are sturdy enough to withstand the wear resulting from regular coffee grinding. Furthermore, the ceramic burrs will not overheat the coffee grounds even after using the coffee mill for a prolonged grinding session. Therefore, your coffee will not lose its natural aroma and flavor. Different from the electric coffee grinders that are dependent on electrical power, this coffee mill is operated mechanically. The feature lets you use your coffee mill during a power outage, when you are camping, or hiking off the grid. Like the high- end coffee grinders, Hario Skerton ceramic coffee mill lets you adjust the texture of the coffee grinds according to your needs. You would also want to buy it because it is dishwasher safe, and it is affordable. Nonetheless, you should handle this coffee mill with care since its glass frame can easily break if it falls. Breville smart coffee grinder Breville smart coffee grinder is an intelligent coffee mill that is designed with premium features to provide unmatched control. The smart coffee grinder is constructed of stainless steel, a durable frame that can tolerate regular coffee grinding. The coffee grinder comes in brushed stainless steel, cranberry red, and black sesame finishes, letting you pick one that will look great on your counter. Breville smart coffee grinder uses stainless steel conical burrs that are strong enough to manage regular coffee grinding tasks. Besides durability, Breville’s steel burrs are also designed to minimize the grinding heat that can affect the quality of your coffee grind. Unique from all the coffee grinders that we have reviewed above, this smart coffee grinder supports 60 grind settings that let you produce the exact texture of coffee ground that you need to make your favorite drink. The coffee grinder’s inbuilt timer lets you adjust the unit’s grinding time according to the amount of grind that you need. A LED interface on this unit enables you to manage various grind settings like shot count, grind size, and grind time. You can program this smart coffee grinder with your favorite settings. A one-year product warranty covers it. Baratza Vario Ceramic Burr Coffee Grinder If espresso is your java weakness of choice, then my absolute favorite option for a quiet espresso coffee grinder is the Baratza Vario Ceramic Burr Coffee Grinder. If you’ve have been looking for the best quiet burr grinder for espresso, then I urge you to consider this one. This is like the Maserati of espresso bean grinders, which a matching price tag to boot. So yes, it is very expensive for an espresso grinder, but it is also very quiet and produces consistent grinds. Check Price on Amazon What I like about this model:smaller size is good for people who have small kitchensfeels like quality components were used and that it will last me quite a whilereally great as that espresso grind!I love that this thing is designed specifically for one type of grind. It’s like it knows what it is designed for and you don’t have to worry about it not working as advertised. I also like that this one has a small size compared to the larger option up above. I discovered that you can actually use it for more than just espresso as it has grinding settings that range from espresso fine to coarse ground. Ideally though, this is really only a good option for people who primarily drink espresso. What I don’t like about this model:works a bit on the slow side for an electric modelno canister for the grounds to fall into – not cool for people like me who often grind more than they need at one time Since this electric burr grinder keeps the noise level down by offering a slow grind instead of a fast one, it seems like it is noticeably slower. This may be a problem for people who are always running late for work. While it works fine for the other grinds, this really won’t be a practical choice for most people due to the fact that it is designed to put your coffee grinds into that little espresso spoon thingie. Bottom line: I think that this is the best espresso grinder that money can buy, if you have the cash to spend on it. OE Pharos Manual Coffee Grinder As you’ve probably already guessed, using a hand coffee grinder is the absolute quietest way to go here. While you are safe picking pretty much any of them when you compare their noise level to an electric coffee grinder, the truth is that some of the manual models are quieter than others. Of those, the OE Pharos Manual Coffee Grinder is the probably the best quiet manual hand coffee grinder that I’ve tried so far. What I like about this model:comes from Italy – and they take coffee VERY seriously!hand made, so you know a lot of care and quality is put into itpractically no noise since it is hand-operated Check it out – this is an Italian made hand coffee mill that is actually hand built and numbered – this is not something that is mass produced by a factory in China. You get seriously high quality with this thing. I seriously love that about this one. And since you have to hand crank this baby, the noise level from it is very low. I was honestly surprised by how little sound came from it after testing it out. Stores that carry the OE Pharos Manual Coffee Grinder online: Orphan Espresso Hand Grinders Coffee Hit What I don’t like about this model:hand cranking takes some work!price is high (in my opinion)limited stores carry itkind of ugly Though I really like this model a lot, it is not ideal for me. I am not a fan of all the effort that it takes to grind the beans by hand! Yeah, I might be a bit of a wimp, but I was not aware how much effort it was going to take before finding out first hand. Another ding on this one for me is the price – this hand coffee grinder is not cheap. In fact, it has a retail price of $245 and you only seem to be able to purchase it direct from the manufacturer or the UK-based Coffee Hit online store. That’s probably due to the fact that the item is not made until you actually order it. But, if you want the quietest coffee grinder ever, and do not mind that it is a hand mill, then this is really the only choice for you. Hario Coffee Mill Mini If you don’t want to spend the hundreds of dollars on the OE Pharos hand coffee mill above, then there is another decent option that I think is more budget friendly. Check out the Hario Coffee Mill Mini for a pretty good option for a cheap, quiet manual coffee grinder. In fact, I think it is probably one of the cheapest quiet manual coffee grinder options on the market right now. What I like about this model:budget-friendly pricegreat looking designceramic instead of steel (means no rusting)This one probably offers the best value for the money since it is very quiet and often has a cheap price that should fit any budget. It has a sleek design so it looks great on your kitchen counter, but is small enough to store in a cabinet if you do not want to leave it sitting out all day. Check Price on Amazon This is a ceramic coffee mill, which is important to note because it means that you not have to worry about it rusting on down the line. All the best coffee grinders are ceramic instead of metal. What I don’t like about this model:hard to read instructionstakes a lot of work to do the grinding Probably the only bad thing about it is that the instructions only come in Japanese. But, you can usually find help online. With this one, you get a consistent grind but know that for the finest espresso grind it does take a little while to get it all ground. So, be prepared to put in a little elbow grease on this one.

D3050018	http://www.umkelloggeye.org/conditions-treatments/conjunctivitis-pink-eye	What Is Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)?	What Is Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)? Conjunctivitis is inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin, filmy membrane that covers the white of your eye. The conjunctiva, which produces mucus to coat and lubricate the surface of the eye, contains fine blood vessels that can be seen on close inspection. When the conjunctiva becomes irritated or inflamed, the blood vessels, which supply it, enlarge and become more prominent, causing the eye to turn red. Symptoms Pinkness or redness in the eye Red, inflamed inner eyelids Blurred vision Sandy or scratchy feeling in the eye Pus, mucous, or watery discharge from the eye The symptoms described above may not necessarily mean that you have conjunctivitis. However, if you experience one or more of these symptoms, contact your ophthalmologist for a complete exam. Causes There are many sources of eye irritation that can cause conjunctivitis. Bacterial Conjunctivitis Bacterial infections can cause a red eye, which is associated with pus or discharge from the eye, or they can cause a red eye which is associated with crusting of the eyelashes with little or no discharge. Viral Conjunctivitis Viruses can cause conjunctivitis, such as the familiar red eyes, sore throat, and runny nose of a common cold. Viral conjunctivitis usually produces a watery mucous discharge and lasts from 1 to 2 weeks. Infectious conjunctivitis, commonly known as "pink eye," can be quite contagious. Cloth handkerchiefs and towels should not be shared during this time. Hand washing also will help prevent the spread of this infection. Allergies Allergies can cause conjunctivitis, which produces a stringy, white discharge. Allergies can make the eyes itchy or produce a chronic red eye and environmental irritants, such as smoke or fumes, may cause conjunctivitis. Any type of conjunctivitis is aggravated by dryness of the eyes. Risk Factors The risk factors for conjunctivitis depend on the type of conjunctivitis. Bacterial conjunctivitis results from exposure to a bacterial organism to which the eye is vulnerable. Some of the more worrisome types of bacterial conjunctivitis can be caused by organisms that also cause sexually transmitted diseases; a sudden onset of the above symptoms in the context of a new sexual partner needs to be evaluated. Viral conjunctivitis is extremely contagious. Often the person with viral conjunctivitis has had an upper respiratory infection preceding the onset of the red eye or has been around someone with an upper respiratory infection. People who work in health care settings or with children have a high risk of exposure to the viruses that can cause viral conjunctivitis. Allergic conjunctivitis is caused by the environmental factors that trigger an allergic reaction in the eye and these triggers are different for each person. Tests and Diagnosis The different types of conjunctivitis often can be distinguished by an eye examination, including your medical history. If your ophthalmologist suspects bacterial conjunctivitis, s/he will culture your eyelids, conjunctiva, and discharge to make a diagnosis and choose the best treatment. Viral and allergic conjunctivitis often do not require special testing for diagnosis. Treatment and Drugs If you think you might have conjunctivitis, you should Keep your hands away from your eyes Thoroughly wash your hands before and after applying eye medications Do not share towels, washcloths, cosmetics, or eyedrops with others Seek treatment promptly Small children, who may forget these precautions, should be kept away from school, camp, and the swimming pool until the condition is cured Treatment for Bacterial or Viral Conjuntivitis Infectious conjunctivitis, caused by bacteria, usually is treated with antibiotic eye drops and/or ointment. Other infectious forms, caused by viruses, can't be treated with antibiotics. They must be fought off by your body's immune system. But some antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent secondary bacterial infections from developing. Artificial tears and warm compresses may help keep the eye comfortable while viral conjunctivitis runs its course. Treatment for Allergic Forms of Conjuntivitis When treating allergic and chemical forms of conjunctivitis, the cause of the allergy or irritation must first be removed. For instance, avoid contact with any animal if it causes an allergic reaction. Wear swimming goggles if chlorinated water irritates your eyes. In cases where these measures won't work, prescription and over-the-counter eye drops are available to help relieve the discomfort.

Depression is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide and other mental health disorders are growing in numbers. And while mental illness is starting to be considered the serious medical condition that it is, when it comes to healthcare, we still have a long way to go before mental health patients are treated with the respect afforded physical health patients. Research shows there’s still stigma surrounding these disorders. Below are 19 statistics that prove these disorders touch more people than you might think.61,500,000The approximate number of Americans who experience a mental health disorder in a given year. That’s one in four adults.$100,000,000,000The estimated economic cost of untreated mental illness in the U. S.

D1241533	http://nsarchive.gwu.edu/nsa/foia/ford.html	.	The FOIA and President Gerald Ford When President Gerald Ford took office on August 9, 1974 in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal and President Richard Nixon’s resignation, there was great public cynicism toward government, but also great public desire for access to government information. Despite public sentiment, on October 17 President Ford vetoed H. R. 12471, the bill that would significantly strengthen the Freedom Of Information Act, calling it “unconstitutional and unworkable”. In a dramatic rebuke, the House, on November 20, and the Senate, on November 21, overrode the President’s veto. The amended FOIA now incorporated judicial review of agency decisions, narrowing of some exemptions, restrictions on fees agencies could charge, and a new 10-day time limit for agencies to comply with a request. The public’s use of the FOIA increased dramatically. Below are documents reflecting the political and legislative struggle over the 1974 amendments to the FOIA. Note: The following documents are in PDF format. You will need to download and install the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to view.

Mix some grout and place this on the part of the soap dish you are attaching. Be generous with the amount so you know it will stay. Place the soap dish in the slots and use the tape that you attached to be extra security that your dish will not fall. Wipe off all the grout coming out the sides so it is not messy and let it fully dry. Remove the tape and you are all done.

D275769	https://courses.lumenlearning.com/boundless-ap/chapter/introduction-to-the-nervous-system/	Introduction to the Nervous System	Organization of the Nervous System The nervous system is a network of cells called neurons that coordinate actions and transmit signals between different parts of the body. Learning Objectives Describe the organization of the nervous system Key Takeaways Key Points Neurons (specialized cells of the nervous system ) send signals along thin fibers called axons and communicate with other cells by releasing chemicals called neurotransmitters at cell-cell junctions called synapses. Glial cells are non-neuronal cells that provide support and nutrition in the nervous system. In humans, the nervous system consists of both the central and peripheral nervous systems. The human central nervous system contains the brain, spinal cord, and retina. The peripheral nervous system consists of sensory neurons, clusters of neurons called ganglia, and nerves connecting them to each other and to the central nervous system. Key Termssensory receptor: A nerve ending that recognizes stimulus in the internal or external environment of an organism.peripheral nervous system: This system consists of the nerves and ganglia outside of the brain and spinal cord.glia: Non-neuronal cells that maintain homeostasis, form myelin, and provide support and protection for neurons in the brain and other parts of the nervous system. Examples A nervous system allows us to react to the changing environment around us. The nervous system is an organ system that coordinates voluntary and involuntary actions and responses by transmitting signals between different parts of our bodies. Neurons Central to the functioning of the nervous system is an extensive network of specialized cells called neurons. Neurons feature many thin projecting fibers called axons, which penetrate deep into tissues. They are able to communicate with other cells by chemical or electrical means at synapses. Neuronal function is supported by neuroglia, specialized cells which provide nutrition, mechanical support, and protection. Major elements in neuron-to-neuron communication: Electrical impulses travel along the axon of a neuron. When this signal reaches a synapse, it provokes release of neurotransmitter molecules, which bind to receptor molecules located in the the target cell. Divisions of the Nervous System In most animals, including humans, the nervous system consists of two parts: central and peripheral. The central nervous system (CNS) is composed of the brain, spinal cord, and cerebellum. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) consists of sensory neurons, motor neurons, and neurons that communicate either between subdivisions of the PNS or connect the PNS to the CNSThe Human Nervous System: The major organs and nerves of the human nervous system. The CNS is comprised of the brain, cerebellum and spinal cord. Remaining neurons, and associated cells, distributed throughout the body form the PNS. The nervous system has three broad functions: sensory input, information processing, and motor output. In the PNS, sensory receptor neurons respond to physical stimuli in our environment, like touch or temperature, and send signals that inform the CNS of the state of the body and the external environment. This sensory information is then processed by the CNS, predominantly by the brain. After information is processed, motor neurons return signals to the muscles and glands of the PNS, which responds with motor output. Central neurons, which in humans greatly outnumber the sensory and motor neurons, make all of their input and output connections with other neurons. The connections of these neurons form neural circuits that are responsible for our perceptions of the world and determine our behavior. Along with neurons, the nervous system relies on the function of other specialized cells called glial cells, or glia, that provide structural and metabolic support to the nervous system.

In some cases the lower lobe is connected to the side of the face. Since the earlobe does not contain cartilage [1] it has a large blood supply and may help to warm the ears and maintain balance. However, earlobes are not generally considered to have any major biological function. [2] The earlobe contains many nerve endings, and for some people is an erogenous zone. The zoologist Desmond Morris in his book The Naked Ape (1967) conjectured that the lobes developed as an additional erogenous zone to facilitate the extended sexuality necessary in the evolution of human monogamous pair bonding. [3]A free earlobe An attached earlobe, with piercing. Contents [ hide ]1 Organogenesis2 Genetics3 Clinical significance4 Society and culture4.1 Earlobe piercing and stretching4.2 Negative effects of wearing earrings5 References6 Further reading Organogenesis [ edit]It might seem to be that the earlobe, as a body part built of epithelium and connective tissue, is derived from dermatome. [4] However this is not the case, in the surrounding tissue there are no somites – thus also there is no dermatome. In this area, the dermis is derived from cells of mesenchymal cells, whereas the mesenchyme is derived from the sclerotome and splanchnopleura located in the nearby regions of the torso. [5]The earlobe as a body part arises and develops in the vicinity of auricular follicle, as a result of cascade induction: [6]The first-level inductor is the central segment of Archenteron's roof, which induces the production of the Medulla oblongata (part of the Hindbrain ). The second-level inductor is the Medulla oblongata, which induces the production of a pair of auricular follicles derived from the mesoderm. The third-level inductor is the auricular follicle, which induces the production of the auditory bulla. Genetics [ edit]Clint Eastwood, who has an extreme form of attached ear lobe. Earlobes average about 2 centimeters long, and elongate slightly with age. [7] Although the "free" vs. "attached" appearance of earlobes is often presented as an example of a simple "one gene – two alleles" Mendelian trait in humans, earlobes do not all fall neatly into either category; there is a continuous range from one extreme to the other, suggesting the influence of several genes.

(1952) [12]Clinical significance [ edit]Earlobes are normally smooth, but occasionally exhibit creases. Creased earlobes are sometimes associated with genetic disorders in children, including Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. [24] In some early studies, earlobe creases were thought to be associated with an increased risk of heart attack and coronary heart disease; however, more recent studies have concluded that since earlobes become more creased with age, and older people are more likely to experience heart disease than younger people, age may account for the findings linking heart attack to earlobe creases. [24] The earlobe crease is also called Frank's Sign. Society and culture [ edit]Stretched earlobe piercing, Ethiopia Earlobe piercing and stretching [ edit]Piercing the earlobes is a commonplace activity in many cultures in many historical eras; no other location on the body is as commonly pierced. Consequently, injury to the earlobe due to the weight of heavy earrings is also common. [25] Some cultures practice earlobe stretching, using piercing ornaments to stretch and enlarge the earlobes to accommodate plugs. Negative effects of wearing earrings [ edit]Some research has found that the most frequent complications connected with wearing earrings are: [26]inflammation,keloids,loss of tissue by tearing, andmechanical division of earlobes. There was noticeable relationship between the piercing of young girls' earlobes and following development of allergy. [27] [28] [29] In the view of Professor Ewa Czarnobilska, the manager of the research team, the primary reason for the allergies connected to earrings is the presence of nickel, which is a common component of the alloys used in jewelry production. [28] [29] The symptom seen is generally eczema, and is often misdiagnosed as a food allergy, for instance to milk. The specific mechanism in allergies caused by earrings is the contact of nickel ions with the Lymphatic system. [28] [29]The study noted that children who simply stopped wearing earrings did not see the disappearance of the allergic symptoms. The immune system remembers the presence of the nickel ions in the person's blood and lymph, so the child can still react to: [28] [29]metal parts of wardrobe,dental braces,dental prosthesis,orthotics,meals cooked in pots with addition of nickel,margarine (nickel is a catalyst in hydrogenation of unsaturated fats),coins,chocolate,nuts,leguminous vegetables,wine, andbeer. Research by allergists has found that in a sample of 428 pupils of ages 7–8 and 16–17 years old: [28] [29]30% of the research population showed an allergy to nickel, andthe allergy occurred in girls who had started wearing earrings in early childhood. Other symptoms of allergy to nickel are recurring infections, Asthma attacks and chronic larynxis. [28] [29]References [ edit]^ Steinberg, Avraham (2003).

D1849146	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Machine_%28Apple_software%29	Time Machine (macOS)	Time Machine (mac OS)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Time Machine (Apple software))navigation search Time Machine A component of mac OS 10.5 or newer Time Machine's Retrieval Interface on OS X 10.10 Yosemite Details Type Backup software Time Machine is a backup software application distributed as part of mac OS, desktop operating system developed by Apple. The software is designed to work with Air Port Time Capsule, the Wi-Fi router with built-in hard disk, as well as other internal and external disk drives. It was introduced in Mac OS X Leopard. Contents [ hide ]1 Overview2 User interface3 Storage3.1 Requirements4 Operation5 See also6 References7 External links Overview [ edit]Time Machine creates incremental backups of files that can be restored at a later date. [1] It allows the user to restore the whole system or specific files from the Recovery HD or the mac OS Install DVD. It works within Mail, i Work, i Life, and several other compatible programs, making it possible to restore individual objects (e.g. emails, photos, contacts, calendar events) without leaving the application. According to an Apple support statement:“Time Machine is a backup utility, not an archival utility, it is not intended as offline storage. Time Machine captures the most recent state of your data on your disk. As snapshots age, they are prioritized progressively lower compared to your more recent ones.” [2]For backups to a network drive, Time Machine allows the user to back up Mac computers over the network, and supports backing up to certain network attached storage devices or servers, depending on the version of Time Machine. Earlier versions worked with a wide variety of NAS servers, but later versions require the server to support a recent version of Apple’s Apple Filing Protocol (AFP), and Time Machine no longer works with servers using the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol typical for Windows servers. Some of the legacy support can be re-enabled by using hand-tuned configuration options, accessed through the Terminal. Apple's Time Capsule acts as a network storage device specifically for Time Machine backups, allowing both wired and wireless backups to the Time Capsule's internal hard drive. Time Machine may also be used with any external or internal volume. Time Machine saves hourly backups for the past 24 hours, daily backups for the past month, and weekly backups for everything older than a month until the volume runs out of space. At that point, Time Machine deletes the oldest weekly backup. User interface [ edit]Time Machine's user interface when retrieving a file uses Apple's Core Animation API. Upon its launch, Time Machine "floats" the active Finder or application window from the user's desktop to a backdrop depicting the user's blurred desktop wallpaper. Behind the current active window are stacked windows, with each window representing a snapshot of how that folder or application looked on the given date and time in the past. When toggling through the previous snapshots, the stacked windows extend backwards, giving the impression of flying through a "time tunnel." While paging through these "windows from the past," a previous version of the data (or presently deleted data) may be retrieved. Storage [ edit]Time Machine works with locally connected storage disks, which must be formatted in the HFS+ volume format, as well as with remote storage media shared from other systems, including Time Capsule, via the network. When using remote storage, Time Machine uses sparse bundles. This acts as an isolation layer, which makes the storage neutral to the actual file system used by the network server, and also permits the replication of the backup from one storage medium to another. Sparse bundles are mounted by mac OS like any other device, presenting their content as a HFS+ formatted volume, functionally similar to a local storage. Requirements [ edit]Time Machine places strict requirements on the backup storage medium. The only officially supported configurations are: A hard drive or partition connected directly to the computer, either internally or by a bus like USB or Fire Wire, and formatted as journaled HFS+. [3]A folder on a journaled HFS+ file system shared by another Mac on the same network running at least Leopard. [4]A drive shared by an Apple Time Capsule on the same network. A drive connected to an Apple Air Port Extreme 802.11ac model on the same network. (Earlier generations of the Air Port Extreme are not supported.) [5]Local network volumes connected using Apple Filing Protocol. [6]On a Time Capsule, the backup data is stored in an HFS+ disk image and accessed via Apple Filing Protocol. Although it is not officially supported, users and manufacturers have configured Free BSD and Linux servers and network-attached storage systems to serve Time Machine-enabled Macs. [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]Operation [ edit]Time Machine creates a folder on the designated Time Machine volume (local or inside a remote sparse image) into which it copies the directory tree of all locally attached disk drives, except for files and directories that the user has specified to omit, including the Time Machine volume itself. Every hour thereafter, it creates a new subordinate folder and copies only files that have changed since the last backup and creates hard links to files that already exist on the backup drive. A user can browse the directory hierarchy of these copies as if browsing the primary disk. [14]Some other backup utilities save deltas for file changes, much like version control systems. Such an approach permits more frequent backups of minor changes, but can often complicate the interaction with the backup volume. By contrast, it is possible to manually browse a Time Machine backup volume without using the Time Machine interface; the use of hard links presents each backup to the user as a complete disk copy. Time Machine appears to create multiple hard links to unmodified directories. Multiple linking of directories is different from conventional UNIX operating systems. As a result, tools like rsync cannot be used to replicate a Time Machine volume; replication can only reliably be done by imaging the entire filesystem. Apple system events record when each directory is modified on the hard drive. This means that instead of examining every file's modification date when it is activated, Time Machine only needs to scan the directories that changed for files to copy (the remainder being hard-linked). This differs from the approach taken by similar backup utilities rsync and Fly Back, which examine modification dates of all files during backup. Time Machine is also available in the Leopard, Snow Leopard, and Lion installation process. One of the features in the Migration Assistant interface is to re-install the contents of a Time Machine backup. In other words, a hard drive can be restored from a Time Machine backup in the event of a catastrophic crash. OS X Mountain Lion introduced the ability to use multiple volumes simultaneously for Time Machine operations. When the user specifies more than one volume to use, mac OS rotates among the desired volumes each time it does a backup. [15]Coding differences between OS X Mountain Lion and Mavericks have resulted in compatibility issues related to Time Machine's system restoration functionality. Time Machine backups created by Apple computers purchased as recently as late 2012 cannot be used for system restoration on 2013 or 2014 models. [ citation needed]. However, the data from the backup can still be recovered by directly accessing the files from the Time Machine Volume.

Chi; Updated September 21, 2017Often sold as annuals, fuchsia (Fuchsia hybridia) is a popular colorful evergreen shrub that flowers from early summer to the first frost. Fuchsia are perennials in USDA plant hardiness zones 10 and higher and are annuals in zones lower than 10. Fuchsias thrive in cool climates with fog and frostless winters. In the warmest zones, the plants must be misted and in colder zones, they should be protected from frost or brought indoors. About the Flower All fuchsias have two-tone flowers, according to the 1997 Sunset National Garden Book. The lower, bell-shaped portion of the flower is called the corolla and may be white, blue-violet, purple, pink, red or nearly orange. The top, or flat part of the flower, is called the sepal, which is always white, pink or red. Flowers may be single- or double-petaled and, depending on the size of the plant, as small as a peanut or as large as a apricot. The colorful flowers and foliage cascade, making the fuchsia a popular hanging plant. Soil and Care Fuchsia's thrive in porous soil with lots of organic components. While the soil should be well-draining, it should also hold water, so you may add mulch to help retain water. Plants should be kept moist and fertilized with an all-purpose fertilizer once a month. Plants thrive in partial shade and blooms may wilt in strong, direct sun. Old flowers should be picked off and if plants become leggy, pinch back. Prune plants regularly to encourage new growth. Background Fuchsias are named after German doctor Leonard Fuchs, who lived in the 1500s, but the fuchsias that are available today originated almost exclusively in South and Central America, New Zealand and Tahiti, according to Squidoo.com. These plants originally were available in about 100 varieties, but there are now many more due to hybridizing.

D343285	http://www.healthcentral.com/slideshow/9-best-treatments-sciatic-nerve-pain	The 9 Best Treatments for Sciatic Nerve Pain	The 9 Best Treatments for Sciatic Nerve Pain Tracy Davenport, Ph. D. \| Sept 26, 20161 of 10Next Sciatica is pain that radiates from the buttock downward along the course of the sciatic nerve. Although sciatica can have several causes, 85 percent of cases are associated with a disk disorder. Degenerative spine disease, prolonged sitting, muscle, tendon, and hip injuries can also cause sciatic nerve pain. Many different treatments have been used to treat sciatic pain and include: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)NSAIDs reduce inflammation throughout the body. Because some sciatic nerve pain may be due to inflammation related to the sciatic nerve, NSAIDs can sometimes provide at least short-term relief. Glucocorticoids Glucocorticoids are a class of steroid hormones. Spinal injections of glucocorticoids are frequently used for lower back pain and related conditions such as sciatica. Research has shown a short-term decrease in leg pain after glucocorticoid injections with no subsequent need for surgery. Opioids Opioids act on opioid receptors to produce morphine-like effects. In the past, opioids such as oxycodone and codeine were prescribed frequently for a variety of painful conditions, including back and sciatic nerve pain. However, due to their addictive qualities, many guidelines now recommend restrictions for their use. Antidepressants and muscle relaxants Antidepressants and muscle relaxants have been shown to be helpful for sciatic pain. And, because chronic pain also can cause depression and muscle tightness, these drugs can have added benefits. The newer class of antidepressants is known to have fewer side effects than some of the older drugs. Physical therapy Physical therapy is one of the most common initial treatments for sciatica. Although most think of resting when they have sciatic pain, movement can be just as helpful. Physical therapy may help with safe movements and to strengthen muscles that may have weakened as a result of the injury. Chiropractic (spinal manipulation)Another widely used treatment for sciatica is spinal manipulation, often applied in a chiropractic setting. The results for this type of treatment have been conflicting, but some research have shown spinal manipulations can be effective for pain relief. Yoga Yoga focuses on physical movement, mental focus, and breathing. There has been relatively little research on the impact of yoga on sciatica. However, research is showing promise that yoga is an effective treatment for chronic lower back pain, including sciatica. Surgery Even though sciatic pain often resolves without treatment, surgery can result in earlier relief of pain. When considering surgery, the decision also depends on the reason for the pain. For example, surgery has been recommended for pain caused by large disk ruptures in the spinal column that may be causing other problems, such as bowel or bladder control. Do nothing at all Sciatica resolves without treatment in the majority of cases. In one third of individuals, sciatic pain resolves without treatment within two weeks and in three quarters of individuals within three months. Your doctor will be able to recommend the best plan of treatment once the cause of the sciatic pain is determined.

Related Articles Economic Influence on Marketing What Are Environmental Factors That Affect Marketing Decisions? Examples of Two-Tier Marketing Multinational Marketing Strategy What Is Microenvironment in Marketing? Marketing Evaluation Techniques Marketing strategies of all kinds are subject to the whims of the market. No matter how many hours of research and dedication you put into your small business marketing efforts, there are some uncontrollable factors that can bring it all crashing down. Understanding where your control ends and the realm of chance begins can help you deal with the realization that some things cannot be helped. Economic Factors The local and national economic state of affairs is well beyond the control of a small business owner. He is often at the mercy of inflation, economic crashes, slow growth and the unemployment rate. Each of these factors can have a direct impact on your small business marketing which may have to be re-evaluated and overhauled as a result. For example, assume you own a luxury goods store. Suddenly there is a housing crash and 50 percent of your customer base is having a hard time making their monthly mortgage payment, your marketing may have to change from addressing the high income earner with disposable income to one that is concerned with quality in craftsmanship and long-term investment. Changing Trends Buying trends change from one season to the next and your marketing can fall behind rather easily as a result. For example, your bakery may have been successful for decades until one day a low carbohydrate diet trend sweeps the nation. All of a sudden your breads and muffins are the enemy for people trying to lose a few pounds. Your marketing message will have to change and you will have to decide which way to go. You can herald the value of whole grain and the need for carbs in a healthy diet, or you can create a line of low-carb snacks to keep up with the trend. In either case your brand message will change due to something that was completely out of your control. Environmental Changes The evolution of products, technology and the way that things are done may be the most potentially and consistently dangerous factor for your marketing and your business as a whole. The way things are done is always changing and small businesses must do their best to keep up. Minor changes can often be absorbed or even overlooked if you are able to maintain your market share by continuing with the status quo. When large changes come -- particularly those that were not expected -- the results can be quite different. For example, say you are a vendor for the hottest video game in the world. Everything is going great until the release of a 3D gaming system makes all others look like a thing of the past. Your marketing message and product line may have to be completely overhauled and you may find yourself starting from scratch. Competition Sometimes your competitors will decide to move in a new direction, release a new product line or change the game so drastically that your marketing will have to adjust to keep up. In some cases a brand new competitor may burst onto the scene with a new and attractive marketing message and campaigns that leave your efforts looking old and tired. Competition is the most direct threat to your small business and its presence cannot always be seen in advance. Instead of competing with the new guy on his terms, your marketing may have to be adjusted to highlight your experience, status in the community and reliability versus the unknown quantity that is your competition.

D397284	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KOA_Campgrounds	Kampgrounds of America	Kampgrounds of America ( KOA) is the world's largest system of privately held campgrounds with almost 500 locations across US and Canada. It was founded in 1962 and is based in Billings, Montana, USA. The current President/CEO of KOA is Pat Hittmeier. [1]Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Locations3 Media references4 References5 External links History [ edit]KOA kampground, Petersburg, Michigan KOA was founded in 1962 in Billings, Montana by businessmen Dave Drum, John Wallace and 2 other partners. Drum got the idea to start the campgrounds while walking his property along the Yellowstone River and seeing travelers heading to the Seattle World's Fair. The first campsites, known as Billings Campground, were located on Drum's property north of the Yellowstone River. For $1.75 per night, campers could pitch their tent on a campsite that included a picnic table and fire ring. This first campground also provided hot showers, restrooms, and a small store. [2] The campground was quickly successful and by the summer of 1963, Drum, Wallace and their partners decided to create a system of campgrounds throughout North America. They named the company Kampgrounds of America and began selling franchises. [2]By the end of the 1969 camping season, KOA had 262 campgrounds in operation across the U. S. By 1972, 10 years after KOA's creation, KOA had 600 franchise campgrounds. The Arab oil embargoes of 1973 and 1978 caused the collapse of many travel-oriented businesses, but by 1982, the KOA franchises had increased to nearly 900. By 2002, after stricter quality standards weeded out many campgrounds, KOA campgrounds numbered almost 500, with most being in the United States. [3]Today, KOA annually inspects each campground with a 600-point inspection, which it claims is the most stringent in the business. In 2015, Jim Rogers stepped down as CEO after 15 years and was replaced by the president of the company, Pat Hittmeier. [4]Locations [ edit]State Name of Campground Location Alabama Example Example Example Example Example Example Media references [ edit]In the 1978 movie Every Which Way But Loose, Philo, Orville, Echo, and Clyde stay at a KOA Campground in one scene. In Bob Wood's 1988 best selling Dodger Dogs to Fenway Franks, he wrote of often staying at KOAs during his travels to every Major League Baseball stadium in one summer. In 2011, in a commercial for Progressive Auto Insurance, a boy wears a KOA shirt (KOA and Progressive have entered into a marketing partnership whereby KOA recommends Progressive for RV insurance). [5]An episode of Undercover Boss first aired on January 11, 2013 featured KOA CEO Jim Rogers working undercover as Tim, a prospective buyer of a KOA franchise.

D1342415	http://pets.thenest.com/causes-dog-vomiting-bile-4096.html	Causes of a Dog Vomiting Bile	Your veterinarian can provide treatment that will stop or reduce vomiting. When your canine best friend gets sick, he deserves prompt veterinary care. Dogs may vomit bile for a number of reasons, not all of them serious medical conditions. However, early medical intervention can help save your dog if something serious is wrong. Is It Bile? Many dog owners believe that any yellow or green vomit is necessarily bile, but this is not true. Food coloring in pet food can alter the color of your dog's vomit, and vomit consisting mostly of water may look like bile. Whenever your dog vomits, it's a good idea to withhold food until the vomiting stops. This gives your dog's system time to clear out the source of the problem. Eating Grass Dogs frequently eat grass to ease stomach discomfort. If your dog's stomach is empty, the grass may cause your dog's stomach to produce more digestive enzymes, and this can result in vomiting bile. Unless your grass is treated with fertilizer or pesticides, it's generally safe to allow your dog to continue eating it, as it can help ease her stomach problems. Allergies Dogs with food allergies sometimes vomit bile when they eat something that upsets their stomach. If you've recently switched your dog's food and he begins vomiting, an allergy may be to blame. Compare the labels of the two foods to check for new ingredients that may be causing an allergic reaction. Digestive Problems Dogs, like people, are prone to short-lived stomach bugs that can cause vomiting. Stomach inflammation causes a condition caused gastritis, a common cause of bile in vomit. Gastritis can be short-lived or chronic. If your dog continues vomiting bile for more than 24 hours, consult your veterinarian. Some serious infections can cause vomiting, so if there is blood in your dog's vomit in addition to the bile, or if your dog is lethargic or has other symptoms, consult your veterinarian immediately. Liver Problems Liver disease is a leading cause of death in dogs, but is still a relatively uncommon cause of vomiting bile. If your dog vomits bile regularly, has yellow eyes, is losing weight or seems lethargic, this could indicate a liver problem. Pancreatitis, cancer, blows to the stomach and bacterial infections can all cause liver problems. Your vet will administer blood tests to check your dog's liver and may recommend medication or dietary changes if your dog suffers from liver disease.

However, not a stable and final release, but Microsoft’s Windows 10 Technical Preview works similar to original Windows version that will be going to release next year. So, why not to get ourself equipped and get some great tweaks and tips to speed up Windows 10 final version, no? Microsoft has already done their much work in making Windows 10 version good, performance-wise, to its users, but still there are hell lots of tweaks and performance tips that you can apply on Window 10 to get super fast speed as compared with non-tweaked system. You might also like: Holo Lens Gets More Real with Windows 10Few years back, there was booting fast tips for Windows XP and 7, but with release of Windows 8, Microsoft solved this issue and came with hybrid booting that boots system in just few seconds. So, here we don’t need to review any tip that makes Windows 10 boots faster because same Windows 8 booting technology is also available in Windows 10. So, lets play with system using simple teaks and tip to Speed up Windows 10!Disable Shadow and Animation Effects to Improve Performance: By default, Windows 10 and all its previous version comes with eye catching shadow and animation effect that looks beautiful but this feature compromise with system performance. Extra effects and animation increase CPU and RAM loads, which results in slow system performance (High Speed CPU and Higher RAM works well). The situation became worse if you have got no great power CPU and and have minimal RAM. But hey! Microsoft has added few options to disable shadow and animation effect. Open System > Properties > Advanced system settings. Now click on Settings available under Performance group in Advanced Tab. Quick Tips: You can also run sysdm.cpl command in Windows RUN (Win +R) box to open System Properties. Under the Visual Effects make sure all the options are unchecked that are showing in yellow colour (highlight) in the screenshot below. Once you disable the above animation effects, Windows 10 will speedup automatically and you will feel some difference in system performance. Quick Tips: You can also select Adjust for best performance option to apply this tweak instantly. Disable Unnecessary Services to Speed up Windows 10: As you know Windows system is not for making front end UI look good, but it has lots of options and background services that are very important for network connection and for keeping running system smoothly. But there are also lots of unnecessary services always running in Windows background that is not so much important for normal Windows users. You can disable these unnecessary services and take your system one step ahead and get better performance. Just right-click on the service and stop them. You can also disable them permanently in the Service properties window. To get more information check the screenshot below. Service that you may stop or disable: Diagnostic Policy Service Distributed Link Tracking Client IP Helper,Offline Files Program Compatibility Assistant Service Portable Device Enumerator Service Print Spooler (If you don’t have a printer)Remote Registry Secondary Logon and Security Center Note: Please do some research on internet before disabling any services in Windows 10. You can also ask us by commenting below, in case you don’t understand about any services. Check Windows 10 Startup Entries: Do you know that Windows 8 and Windows 10 have some Startup tab in Task Manager where you can control all the startup programs that starts running automatically when you start your Windows? You can open Windows 10 Task Manager using the key combination Ctrl + Alt + Del. These startup apps can be disabled. So, if there are some unnecessary application that are enabled by default (in many cased it’ll be), simply disable them. Using such simple methods, you can actually speed up Windows 10. You can also tweak some registry settings to increase the performance of Windows 10, but if you’re playing with registry, we highly recommend to get equipped with all details before making any changes.

D1757096	https://everipedia.org/wiki/Enzai%3A_Falsely_Accused/	Enzai: Falsely Accused	Enzai Cover art for the American Release冤罪Genre Historical fiction, Psychological, Romance, Eroge Game Developer Langmaor Publisher JP: Langmaor NA: JAST USAGenre Visual novel Platform PCReleased JP: September 13, 2002NA: January 25, 2006Original video animation Directed by Toshiyuki Sakurai Kinomi Noguchi Produced by Koichi Murakami Okabo Doji Written by Hikaru Takeuchi Studio Adonis Japan Home Video Released April 23, 2004 – October 22, 2004Runtime 30 minutes per episode Episodes 2Anime and Manga portal Enzai ( 冤罪, lit. "False charge") is a yaoi game made by the Japanese software house Langmaor, which was later translated to English under the title Enzai – Falsely Accused. It was the first yaoi game released commercially in the United States. [2] The game is also the first that Langmaor developed. Plot The story is set in post-revolutionary France in early 19th-century. Although the specific date is never given, Napoleon Bonaparte is still in power. One character remarks that it is several years before the 20th anniversary of the French Revolution, placing the game's events in the years before 1809. The protagonist is Guys, a young boy from a poor family, who gets caught stealing candy from a Paris store. However, after being railroaded by a city detective named Guildias, Guys finds himself accused, convicted, and sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of a man he never met. From that point on, most of Enzai takes place inside a dark, claustrophobic, dirty prison. In there, Guys experiences humiliation and torture of various kinds, much of it involving nonconsensual sexual acts. The primary goal of the game is for the player (as Guys) to locate evidence and witnesses that can exonerate him of the murder, unveil the true killer, and get him released from prison. Secondary goals include learning the killer's true motives, finding out the backstory of the murder, keeping Guys both physically and psychologically healthy, and forming a romantic bond with other male NPCs in the prison. Gameplay Game interaction is extremely limited, as Enzai is a visual novel. Most of Enzai' s gameplay consists of reading text and seeing stationary artwork. Player input is limited to, at a few junctions in the story, the ability to choose one of two paths. The choices selected affect which ending the player gets. The nature of the gameplay, and the incomplete revelation of the aspects of the main conspiracy, means the player doesn't find out the entire conspiracy until they have completed all endings and unlocked all the scenes. While there are eleven endings, only seven of these are "official" endings that can be unlocked and re-experienced in the option menu. There are, in fact, two unrelated conspiracies—one with Durer, Bollanet, and most of the prisoners, and another involving Guys, Guildias, and his imprisonment. In the game, it appears that Durer is aware that Guys is innocent, and that Guildias is corrupt, and vice versa. Durer and Guildias thus are partners in the evil prison system. The game has a number of possible endings, some where Guys dies in unsuccessful attempts to escape from prison, some where he succeeds in proving his innocence, as well as endings where he remains in prison for life. Characters The characters of Enzai are mostly Guys' fellow prisoners, guards, or other law enforcement officials. Nearly all the characters have personality disorders or paraphilias. If successful (or lucky), the player uncovers the fact that almost all the prisoners are somehow connected to a larger conspiracy, and have apparently been arrested and thrown into prison to be permanently silenced. Guys ( ガイズ Gaizu) – Voiced by: Tatsuki Amano The protagonist and the player character, he has been convicted for a murder he did not commit, as part of a conspiracy he knows nothing about. He is described as a street kid and part of a gang who is constantly committing minor crimes such as shoplifting. He is raped often while in prison. During sex scenes, Guys tends to show signs of masochism. At the beginning of the story, Guys claims to be heterosexual, but when he has sexual encounters with other male characters, he becomes aroused and seems embarrassed by this. Guildias ( ギルディアス Girudiasu) – Voiced by: Yūsei Oda The detective who arrests Guys and has him charged with murder. He regularly visits, tortures, and rapes Guys in the prison. As the game progresses, Guildias is gradually revealed to have framed Guys for murder because of a (false) fear that Guys witnessed him kidnapping another character, Muca. Guildias is also the real killer of the man Guys has been accused of murdering. To win, Guys and his friends must uncover enough evidence both to link him with the murder and establish, absolutely, Guys' inability to have committed the murder. If this happens, Guildias loses control over his sanity in open court, and is dragged away in front of the judge and audience. Durer ( デューラ Dyūra) – Voiced by: Taniyama Kishou A sadistic prison warden who regularly rapes, humiliates, and tortures the prisoners, especially Guys and Vallewida. His father, Bollanet, is a highly placed governmental official, which protects him from retribution – most of the prisoners under Durer's care end up dying under mysterious circumstances. He is introduced near the very beginning of the game; the first adult scene involves him performing a cavity search upon Guys. In one ending, when Guys fails to stand up to Durer and other sadistic officials, he becomes Durer's "sex slave." In another, Guys – along with Vallewida and Evan – are all murdered by Durer to cover up a conspiracy. If the conspiracy is uncovered, Durer is (presumably) arrested with the others. Bollanet ( ボルアネ Boruane) – Voiced by: Hiroomi Sugino Durer's father and a governmental official. He performs various sex acts on Guys and Vallewida during the game. Bollanet can be exposed as the head of an extremely large conspiracy, in which, as an officer in the French army, he abused his position, apparently ordered innocent civilians killed, and stole wheat from the poor to smuggle and sell on the black market. Guildias and Durer aided him by arresting and, once in prison, killing any possible witness to his acts. Evan ( エバ Eba) – Voiced by: Kazuya IchijōAn unusually upbeat prisoner, Evan is revealed to be a successful journalist who, with the aid of an attorney friend, exposed much corruption in post-revolutionary France. Unlike most other prisoners, he has been sentenced to a relatively light prison term of a few years. While Evan offers a number of reasons for his imprisonment, if the conspiracy is uncovered, it is revealed he was framed by Bollanet after he found out too much about his smuggling operations. For this knowledge, he has been marked for death. Evan must be befriended by Guys to proceed in the game – his friendship is necessary to gain the attorney Lusca's attention, and to gain logical deductions that help exonerate Guys. In one ending, he and Guys become lovers, and Evan decides to stay out of journalism for a while, instead working with Guys as a construction worker. Jose ( ジョゼ Joze) & – Voiced by: Bakuhatsu Fuji A violent young man who was imprisoned for raping a nun. He often tries to rape Guys, and the game is full of tricks and betrayals by which Jose tries to lure Guys into a compromising position. He is usually accompanied by another prisoner, Io, whom he treats like a sex slave. It is revealed that Jose was part of a street gang that aided the man Guys is accused of murdering. This man (Jared) was a private detective who was investigating Guildias for a kidnapping. Jose's "gang" affiliation strongly resembles that between Edogawa Rampo 's Kogoro Akechi and his Boy Detective Club (which was in turn based on Sherlock Holmes and the Baker Street Irregulars ). Although he is illiterate, Jose has Jared's diary in his possession, and is willing to part with it if Guys is willing to have sex with him. This diary is essential in proving that Guildias is the real killer and exonerating Guys. In one ending Guys and Jose become lovers, and Jose decides to pursue a career as a private detective with Guys as his assistant. Lusca ( ルスカ Rusuka) – Voiced by: Kōichi Sera A lawyer hired by Guys' family, primarily because he is an alcoholic and, as such, came cheap. Guys' family gave him enough money to visit Guys in prison 12 times, after which he feels no duty to help Guys anymore. Although Lusca initially appears to be incompetent and uncaring, if Guys befriends Evan, it will be revealed that Lusca was once a respected and intelligent attorney who later turned to drinking. Unless Guys gets this information, Lusca will lose interest in the case, and a bad ending will ensue. Lusca and Evan were once close friends who helped each other in their respective professions (it is suggested that the two once had a romantic relationship, but Evan broke it off to protect Lusca from any association with him). If reminded of this, Lusca will take Guys' case seriously and work on gathering evidence and witnesses. It is possible for Guys to form a close relationship with Lusca. In one ending, Guys will be killed while trying to escape on New Year's Eve, but Lusca will be with him at his death and later vow to find justice. In another, after his exoneration, Guys will move in with Lusca and become his assistant and lover. Vallewida ( ヴァルイーダ Varuīda) – Voiced by: Risato Habuki A former soldier, Vallewida is a strange character who apparently has more than one personality, and seems unusually remorseful and resigned to his imprisonment. He also apparently suffers from amnesia, and cannot even remember the crime that sent him to prison. He is regularly raped and abused by both Durer and Bollanet. Although Vallewida offers several excuses for his unusual behaviour (including an imaginary addiction to opium ), if the conspiracy is revealed, it turns out that, while in the army, he witnessed Bollanet's smuggling operations, and has evidence that proves this, despite attempts by Bollanet to beat the information out of him. If the player uncovers these facts, the reason for Vallewida's depression and remorse become clear – although he was just following orders, he still feels guilty for helping Bollanet while serving under his command. Vallewida has different personality modes which appear throughout the game. In his "default" extremely passive personality, he appears to be an intellectual, religious person who spends much time reading in his cell. While in this state, he tends to be extremely friendly and polite, and often treats Guys in a sympathetic (and loving) manner. During certain circumstances, Vallewida goes into what Guys refers to as his "ghost mode." In this state, he is almost catatonic, and does not seem to be aware of where or who he is. He usually enters this state during and after being sexually abused and tortured by Durer or Bollanet. In this state, he is uncommunicative and masochistic, and does not resist Durer or Bollanet's treatment. If a person he cares for is being harmed, Vallewida can become extremely protective and violent. When this happens, his personality becomes extremely cold and methodical, and he regains the ability to fight back. In this state, he is revealed to be an adept swordsman. For a "good" ending, Guys must befriend Vallewida enough to get his logical deduction and knowledge of sword wounds to prove his innocence. In one ending, he and Guys fall in love. After Guys is released, he leaves Paris and works at a small town grocery store until Vallewida comes back to him. Io ( イオ Io) – Voiced by: Arashi Hazuki An easily-bullied, small, and young prisoner, Io is Jose's prison "slave," and as such, is constantly being abused. He will always follow Jose's orders. Despite his passive demeanor, it is revealed that Io is a murderer, and his insight is necessary for Guys' defense. Evan constantly protects Io, often treating him like a "little brother". Shion ( シオン Shion) – Voiced by: Kōichi Yamaga Shion is a hidden character that Guys can only meet him after the default ending is unlocked. An orphan, he suffers from extreme guilt after he accidentally dropped a toolbox on a friend's head, killing him. In his ending, all the other surviving prisoners are released (though no explanation is provided in the game), and Shion and Guys open a restaurant where the characters have a reunion. Belbet ( ベルベット Berubetto) – Voiced by: Pal Hazuki An apparently insane prisoner who has been in prison for several years. He claims to be royalty and the long-lost heir to the French throne. Although he appears extremely menacing, he tends to be gentle and is obsessed with chocolate. In several endings, it is revealed that Belbet was faking his madness. Muca ( ミュカ Myuka) – Voiced by: Misumi While he never appears (alive) in the game, Muca is a bishōnen who attracted the attention of Guys and other boys long before the game started. According to Guys, Muca looked so much like an attractive girl that he proposed to him as a small child. The game will be revealed that Guildias kidnapped Muca and dressed him like a girl. Guys saw Guildias with Muca, and Guildias (incorrectly) assumed that Guys recognized him. Afterwards, Muca's family hired the private detective Jared to find him. However, Guildias murdered Jared and framed Guys for the murder, thus covering his tracks and setting Enzai' s plot in motion. In all scenarios, Guys will implore Lusca to try to find Muca before Guildias does anything to him. However, in the "default" good ending – the ending to scenarios in which Guys is exonerated, but fails to form any romantic ties – it will be revealed that Guildias strangled Muca to death. This ending is the only one that makes any mention of Muca; no other ending suggests that he was found before Guildias kills him. Reception Enzai has become a successful franchise in Japan, birthing a two-episode OVA, several drama CD Collections, a novelization, an official fanbook, and a variety of fan collectibles (pin badges, phone cards, satchels, etc.). Enzai has also become famous outside Japan, mostly due to its unusually dark and twisted atmosphere, deep and compelling plot, and surprisingly graphic scenes. Enzai is the first girls-oriented video game depicting blood, rape, insanity, and abuse rather than the more standard romantic "shōjo" scenes. [5]Enzai is full of German imagery. The subtitle is German ( eine falsche Beschuldigung ), and so are all the titles of the background music, although the story takes place in France.

D601305	https://www.howplantswork.com/2009/02/16/plants-dont-convert-co2-into-o2/	Plants Donât Convert CO2 into O2	Plants Don’t Convert CO2 into O2plantguy February 16, 2009 CO2, Photosynthesis Articles about photosynthesis in the popular press or online often make me cringe. Why? Because sometimes they lead people to think that the oxygen (O 2) produced by photosynthesis is derived from carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). Some even further compound their mistake by stating that plants actually convert CO 2 into O 2 at night!Ack!This is simply NOT true! !Please allow me to explain…The Oxygen You Breathe Comes from Water Yes, that’s correct, water… H 2 OHere are how, where, and when this works in green plants: How: Photosynthesis is basically a two-step process, and the first step is when water is converted into oxygen. The first step directly requires light energy, which is captured by the photosynthetic pigments, mainly chlorophyll. The chlorophyll converts light energy ( photons) into chemical energy, in the form of high-energy electrons. This chemical energy is used in the photosynthetic reaction centers to split 2 water molecules, producing 4 electrons, 4 protons, and 2 oxygen atoms, which combine to form oxygen gas (O 2 ).2H 2 0 –> 4 e – + 4 H + + O 2Where: In green plants, photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, about two to four dozen of which float around in the cytoplasm of photosynthetic plant cells. The first step, described above, takes place in the thylakoid membranes (see Figure 1 above). When: Since the splitting of water to form oxygen requires light energy, this only occurs naturally during the daytime. Where Does the CO 2 Come In? The chemical energy captured in step one above is used in step two of photosynthesis, that is, to convert CO 2 into carbohydrates (sugars). This is called carbon fixation, a.k.a., the Calvin cycle, which takes place in the chloroplast stroma. (see Figure 1 above)What is the scientific evidence that O 2 isn’t derived from CO 2 in photosynthesis? Well, one way to test this is to use water or CO 2 containing an isotope of oxygen (e.g., oxygen-18 = O 18) in photosynthesis and see which one, H 2 O 18 or CO 218, produces O 218. In 1941, Ruben, et al. (see Ref. 1 below) reported that they used an isotope of oxygen, O 18, to find out where the oxygen atoms went in photosynthesis. They supplied plants with water containing O 18, but because O 18 is not a radioactive isotope of the most common form of oxygen, O 16, they used a mass spectrometer to determine the fate of the O 18. The O 18 was found in the oxygen gas produced by the plant, but was NOT found in the sugars formed during photosynthesis. This and other scientific experiments have provided clear evidence that the oxygen produced by photosynthesis is derived from water. Cyanobacteria, Green Algae and Plants All Do This All of the photosynthetic organisms – plants, green algae (e.g., phytoplankton in the oceans), and cyanobacteria – that use water as an electron source do this. So, where does the oxygen you enjoy breathing mostly come from? For a probable answer, see here. Bottom line: Green plants DO NOT convert carbon dioxide (CO 2) into oxygen (O 2 ). The oxygen produced during photosynthesis comes from water. During photosynthesis, green plants DO, however, convert atmospheric CO 2 into sugars. And we know now that one half the oxygen atoms in the CO 2 wind up in the sugars (e.g., glucose = C 6 H 12 O 6) and the other half wind up in phosphate byproducts of the Calvin Cycle (see Addendum below). Reference1. Ruben, S., M. Randall, M. D. Kamen, and J. L. Hyde. (1941) “Heavy oxygen (O 18) as a tracer in the study of photosynthesis.” Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 63, pp. 877–879. ( PDF)Addendum: During the so-called “Reduction Phase” of the Calvin Cycle, ATP is used to phosphorylate the 3-PGAs, and then NADPH is used to reduce (add electrons) the 3-carbon compound to produce GAP. In doing so, one of the phosphate (PO 43-) groups is removed, containing one of the original oxygens from the CO 2. How Plants Work © 2008-2015 All Rights Reserved.

D1593137	https://draxe.com/tempeh/	Tempeh: A Fermented Soybean with Many Probiotic Benefits	Food Nuts, Seeds & Legumes Tempeh: A Fermented Soybean with Many Probiotic Benefits Tempeh: A Fermented Soybean with Many Probiotic Benefits643 54 1555Tempeh is a fermented soybean that originated in Indonesia. It is made by a natural culturing and a controlled fermentation process that includes adding a tempeh starter, which is a mix of live mold. When it sits for a day or two, it becomes a cake-like, fermented food product. Tempeh is becoming popular, and today more and more grocery stores hold tempeh products. This is because tempeh is known to reduce cholesterol, increase bone density, reduce menopausal symptoms and promote muscle recovery. In addition to these amazing benefits, tempeh has the same protein quality as meat and contains high levels of vitamins B5, B6, B3 and B2. Tempeh Nutrition Facts Tempeh’s fermentation process and its use of the whole soybean gives it a higher content of protein vitamins and minerals. It has a firm texture and an earthy flavor, which becomes more noticeable as it ages. Because of its nutritional value, tempeh is used worldwide in vegetarian cuisine. Its ability to take on many flavors and textures makes it a great substitute for meat products.100 grams of tempeh has about:196 calories11 grams fat3 grams saturated fatzero cholesterol9 grams carbohydratezero sugar18 grams protein0.4 milligrams riboflavin/ vitamin B2 (21 percent DV)2.1 milligrams niacin (11 percent DV)0.2 milligrams vitamin B6 (10 percent DV)21 micrograms folate (5 percent DV)0.5 milligrams pantothenic acid (5 percent DV)0.1 milligrams thiamine (4 percent DV)0.1 micrograms vitamin B12 (2 percent DV)1.3 milligrams manganese (64 percent DV)0.5 milligrams copper (27 percent DV)253 milligrams phosphorus (25 percent DV)77 milligrams magnesium (19 percent DV)2 milligrams iron (12 percent DV)401 milligrams potassium (11 percent DV)96 milligrams calcium (10 percent DV)1.6 milligrams zinc (10 percent DV)14 milligrams sodium (1 percent DV)7 Tempeh Benefits1. Contains Probiotics The consumption of fermented, probiotic foods has many benefits. The microflora that lives in fermented foods creates a protective lining in the intestines and shields it against pathogenic factors, such as salmonella and E.coli. Tempeh and other fermented foods lead to an increase of antibodies and a stronger immune system; plus, they regulate the appetite and reduce sugar and refined carb cravings. In fact, fermented vegetables can help treat candida in the gut . Probiotics are also able to break down sugars so they’re more easily digested, break down carbohydrates, control harmful bacteria in the body, fight diarrhea, help with indigestion, fight chronic inflammation and boost immune system function.2. Reduces Cholesterol A scientific review published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition evaluated 11 studies that were conducted between 1990 and 2006. Researchers found that soy isoflavones, which are found in tempeh and other soy products, significantly decreased serum total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels. They also noticed that soy proteins that contained enriched or depleted isoflavones also significantly improved lipid profiles. The niacin in tempeh is also considered an important treatment option for helping reduce dangerously high cholesterol levels. Niacin, or vitamin B3, has been proven to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with mixed dyslipidemia. Dyslipidemia is an elevation of plasma cholesterol, triglycerides or both. A 2011 study done at the University of Kansas Medical Center found that supplementing with niacin has been shown to be very effective at lowering cholesterol naturally for those who are at an increased risk for heart attack, stroke or other forms of heart disease due to having high LDL cholesterol levels, low levels of HDL cholesterol and elevated triglyceride levels.3. Increases Bone Density The calcium provided by tempeh is involved in the growth and maintenance of bones. Calcium, together with other essential minerals like vitamin K and vitamin D, is needed to maintain bone mineral density and prevent weak, brittle bones and fractures. It helps form a part of hydroxyapatite, the mineral complex that makes your bones and teeth hard; this complex maintains bone density and helps bones heal. People with a calcium deficiency are susceptible to having weak and pliable bones, increasing the risk of fractures. Copper, another mineral present in tempeh, also plays an important role in growing bones, in addition to aiding connective tissue and muscle growth. A copper deficiency can show up in brittle bones that are prone to breaking and not fully developing, plus it leads to osteoporosis, low strength and muscle weakness, weak joints, and more. Research done at the University of Akron in Ohio suggests that copper consumption increases the rate of bone healing and plays a key role in the maintenance and repair of tissue. State-of-the-art approaches to treatment of bone diseases, including the lengthening of bone and repairing fractures, can be improved by paying closer attention to the role of copper as a mineral required for optimal treatment.4. Reduces Menopausal Symtoms The isoflavones in tempeh are known to serve as a natural remedy for menopausal relief. In 2000, the North American Menopausal Society established a goal to develop an evidence-based consensus opinion on the role of isoflavones in menopausal health. After evaluating animal and human studies, the most convincing health effects were attributed to the actions of isoflavones on lipids. The main biological functions of lipids include storing energy, signaling and acting as structural components of cell membranes. Studies associated isoflavones with statistically significant reductions in low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and triglycerides, as well as increases in high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Data even supported the efficacy of isoflavones in reducing the incidence and severity of hot flashes, but some studies did not find any difference between the isoflavone recipients and the controls. The researchers suggest that although more evidence is needed to determine specific doses, clinicians should consider recommending whole foods that contain isoflavones, like tempeh, to menopausal women, especially for the cardiovascular benefits of these foods.5. Provides Muscle-Building Protein A hundred grams of tempeh provides 37 percent of an adult’s recommended daily intake of protein — that’s a great source of protein! This is comparable to 100 grams of pork chops or chicken legs. And to boot, the fermentation process has already converted some of the protein into amino acids, so your digestive system doesn’t have to work so hard with tempeh. Protein foods are important because they keep our metabolism running, our energy up and our blood sugar levels stable. Protein is used in every single cell of the body and is critical for building muscle mass, supporting neurological function, aiding in digestion, balancing hormones and keeping an upbeat mood. Because high-protein foods like tempeh make us feel full and require more work for the body to break down and digest, they contribute to weight loss and are more beneficial than fast-acting refined carbohydrates.6. Contains Diabetes-Fighting Manganese With almost 65 percent of your daily value covered with 100 grams of tempeh, manganese is an important mineral present in this beneficial food. Manganese plays a role in numerous chemical processes, including synthesis of nutrients like cholesterol, carbohydrates and proteins. Manganese is also involved in the formation of bone mass, and it helps balance hormones naturally . One of the most important benefits of manganese — its ability to fight diabetes. Manganese is needed to help with proper production of digestive enzymes responsible for a process called gluconeogenesis. Gluconeogenesis involves the conversion of protein’s amino acids into sugar and the balance of sugar within the bloodstream. Manganese has been shown to help prevent overly high blood sugar levels that can contribute to diabetes. A 2013 study conducted at the Departments of Internal Medicine and Biochemistry at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Salt Lake City found that manganese supplementation in mice increased insulin secretion to improve glucose tolerance under conditions of dietary stress. These are promising results concerning the efficacy of manganese as a natural remedy for diabetes.7. Treats Cancer and Inflammatory Diseases Angiogenesis is the physiological process through which new blood vessels form from pre-existing vessels. This is a completely normal and vital process for growth and development, but it’s also a fundamental step in the transition of tumors from a benign state to a malignant one. This is why the use of angiogenesis inhibitors has become popular in the treatment of cancer. A 2005 study published in The British Journal of Nutrition tested if isoflavones, the polyphenolic compounds found in soybean products, might be useful agents for the inhibition of angiogenesis. The results suggest that the isolated isoflavones from tempeh can be an important tool for the treatment of cancer and inflammatory diseases. A 1998 study published by the American Association for Cancer Research found that soy isoflavone consumption may exert cancer-preventive effects by decreasing estrogen synthesis and altering metabolism away from gene-damaging metabolites toward inactive metabolites. The study involved 12 healthy premenopausal women who consumed soy protein supplements for 100 days. Compared with the control diet, soy isoflavone proved to have cancer-treating effects. Eighty percent of your immune system is housed in your gut, so it makes perfect sense that research has confirmed probiotic supplementation can stop tumor growth. In addition to supporting your immunity to disease, research has also shown that probiotics can improve digestive function, aid mineral absorption and heal leaky gut syndrome — all contributing to cancer prevention!The History of Tempeh On the island of Java, in Indonesia, tempeh is a stable source of protein. The soybean has been recognized in Java since the 12th to 13th century. The discovery of tempeh is connected to tofu production in Java. In the 17th century, the Chinese introduced the tofu-making industry in Java. According to legend, tempeh was discovered accidentally when discarded soybean residue caught the spores and grew a certain whitish fungi that was found to be edible. To prepare tempeh, whole soybeans are softened by soaking them and then removing the outside covers; then it is partly cooked. A milk acidulent, usually vinegar, is sometimes added to tempeh to lower the p H; this creates a better environment for mold growth. A fermentation starter that contains the spores of fungus Rhizopus oligosporus or Rhizopus oryzae is then mixed in to the softened soybeans. The beans are spread into a thin layer and are left to ferment for 24 to 36 hours at a temperature of around 86 degrees. Typically, the beans are then knitted together by a mat of white mycelium, filaments. How to Use Tempeh Tempeh is available to purchase at your local health food store. You may notice that some packages of tempeh include beans that have a white, feathery fluff growing on them, and this is totally normal and safe to eat. Tempeh can be stored in the refrigerator when eaten within a week or so, and it freezes well for later use. You can eat tempeh raw or by boiling it and eating it with miso or soy sauce. It can also be used as a substitute for meat in any meal. It’s easy and fun to cook with tempeh because it absorbs other flavors quickly; plus it’s delicious — with a mild and nutty flavor. When cooking with tempeh, you can crumble it, slice it or cube it. Cooked tempeh can be eaten alone or used in chili, stir frys, soups, salads, sandwiches and stews. Tempeh Recipes For people who don’t eat meat, or want to have a meat-less day, tempeh is an excellent option that is still high in protein. That’s why I recommend you try adding tempeh to my Slow Cooker Bison Chili Recipe. You can swap out the bison and use tempeh instead, or use less bison and add tempeh as well. Because tempeh easily crumbles, it would be the perfect addition or substitute for my Taco Salad Recipe and my Sloppy Joe’s Recipe. It also makes a great base in place of beef in my Spaghetti Squash with Red Sauce Recipe . You will love how tempeh absorbs the flavors of garlic, basil and oregano in this dish. It’s the perfect meatless (and healthy) option!Possible Tempeh Side Effects If you are new to eating fermented foods, take it slow at first — otherwise you may get a stomachache. Start by eating about a cup of tempeh. If you have a history of estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer, avoid eating tempeh because it can elevate levels of estrogen and trigger breast cell reproduction. The research on this issue is mixed, but until there is a clear answer regarding tempeh’s ability to accelerate the causes of breast cancer when eaten in excessive amounts, it is safer to avoid the food altogether.

D704174	https://muse.jhu.edu/article/225508/pdf	Connect with Project MUSE	Nationalism and Democracy G. O. Nodia From: Journal of Democracy Volume 3, Number 4, October 1992 pp. 3-22 \| 10.1353/jod.1992.0053In lieu ofan abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content: NATIONALISM AND DEMOCRACY Ghia Nodia Ghia Nodia is head of the department of political philosophy at the Institute of Philosophy in Tbilisi, Georgia. He wrote this essay at the Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies of the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, D. C., where he was a research scholar during the 1991-92 academic year. Thecollapse of communism in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union has led simultaneously to dramatic new gains for liberal democracy and to a resurgence of nationalism. Many analysts appear to regard these as contradictory phenomena, inasmuch as they consider nationalism to be fundamentally antidemocratic. I believe that this is a superficial view that distorts our understanding of what is happening in the postcommunist countries and elsewhere as well. In any case, the experience of the anticommunist revolution requires us to rethink not only the relationship between nationalism and democracy, but also many of the other basic ideas on which modem civilization is grounded. The first major attempt at such a rethinking appeared on the very cusp of the great change when Francis Fukuyama's meditation on the "end of history" was published in the summer of 1989) Fukuyama's main idea, later developed at book length, was that the disintegration of communism left the idea of liberal democracy standing alone, with no viable ideological competitor in sight.2 Thus the posthistorical stage of human development, boring though it may be, has arrived, and there is no threat to the reign of liberal democracy. Although I generally agree with Fukuyama's analysis, I do not share his mostly negative assessment of the role of nationalism in the advent, spread, and victory of liberal democracy. To put it simply, Fukuyama (despite occasional equivocations) agrees with the predominant Western view that democracy and nationalism are mutually hostile? If one wins, it can do so only at the other's expense. Democracy, moreover, has become a term linked to adjectives like "good," "civilized," Journal of Democracy Vol. 3, No. 4 October1992 4 Journal of Democracy "progressive," "rational," and so on, while nationalism is associated with "backwardness," "immaturity," "barbarism," "irrationality," and the like. Given these valuations, Fukuyama's presumption that "irrationalist" nationalism does not present a viable alternative to democracy, and that history has thus come to a safe end, marks him as an optimist. Meanwhile, pessimists like Shlomo Avineri argue that nationalism, not liberal democracy, is the real successor to communism, which means that history will continue? But what if nationalism and democracy are not two separate things? What if nationalism is a component of the more complex entity that is called "liberal democracy"? In raising these questions, I mean to suggest that the idea of nationalism is impossible--indeed unthinkable--without the idea of democracy, and that democracy never exists without nationalism. The two are joined in a sort of complicated marriage, unable to live without each other, but coexisting in an almost permanent state of tension. Divorce might seem the logical solution to a Western liberal horrified by the twentieth century's experience of European nationalism, but this option stands revealed as nothing more than wishful thinking once real political forces are taken into account. The manner in which the collapse of communism and the breakup of the Soviet empire occurred tends to demonstrate the validity of my approach. Conversely, the failure of mainstream Western political science to keep pace with developments in the postcommunist East is at least partly due to the West's one-sided understanding of nationalism and its relation to democracy. This one-sidedness flows largely from Western social science's tendencies toward both economic determinism and value-laden judgments. When it is presumed that social developments cannot be explained in a really "scientific" way unless they can be traced to economic conditions, it is only a small step to the modern instrumentalist doctrine according to which nations and nationalisms emerge as a result of 1) industrialization and 2) mass manipulation undertaken by elites pursuing their own (ultimately economic) interests. This "scientistic" attitude, however, does not prevent many of the very same scholars who assume it from using "democracy" and "nationalism" as valuative rather than descriptive terms.

Eckleburg, the green light on daisy's dock, and the valley of ashes What did Fitzgerald mean when he said the eyes of Dr. T. J. Eckleburg, the greenlight on Daisy's dock, and the valley of ashes? Asked by larry w #320169 5 years ago 5/4/2013 4:27 PM Last updated by Aslan 5 years ago 5/4/2013 5:04 PMAnswers 1Add Yours Answered by Aslan 5 years ago 5/4/2013 5:04 PMThe second chapter begins with a description of the valley of ashes, a dismal, barren wasteland halfway between West Egg and New York. A pair of enormous eyes broods over the valley from a large, decaying billboard. These are the eyes of Dr. T. J. Eckleburg, an optometrist whose practice has long since ended. It is a "valley of ashes," a place of uninterrupted desolation. The eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg are an indelibly grotesque image: these are eyes unattached to any face or body, gazing out over a hellish wasteland. Fitzgerald's description of the drawbridge and passing barges makes an allusion to the River Styx, a mythological river which one crosses to enter the realm of the dead. The eyes of Dr. T. J. Eckleburg seem to be a monstrous parody of the eyes of God: they watch, but they do not see; they are heartless, and entirely unknowing. Like the scene in which Gatsby reaches for the green light, high symbolism is given priority over the demands of realism: the reader is presented with an implausible, but highly effective image of two detached eyes looking out over dust and ashes. The novel's only non-wealthy characters live in the valley of ashes; it is the grim underside to the hedonism of the Eggs, and of New York City. George Wilson, Myrtle's dejected husband, seems almost made of ashes: "ashen dust" coats his clothes and his hair. Fitzgerald represents poverty as lying beneath wealth and providing the wealthy with a dumping ground. It is what the wealthy wish to avoid seeing at all costs.http://www.gradesaver.com/the-great-gatsby/study-guide/section2/Log In To Your Grade Saver Account Email Password New User?

P. Ok. I've heard, over time, many varying comments about the do's and dont's of moving fridges. One thing I do know is to transport them in an upright position. Some say allow your fridge to stand for 'X' amount of time while others say 'Z' amount of time before even thinking of moving your fridge. When I'm told this, they refer to allowing the refrigerant to settle, to allowing the compressor to cool. Is there any hard and fast rule that applies? I have a really nice LG side by side fridge freezer that needs moving and I don't want to stuff it up. Any pointers/advice appreciated.

You shouldn't transport them upside down or bump the crap out of them on their side as it can cause the compressor to fall or break off it's internal springs. 99% of the time it's not a problem and on those that do have issues they were most likely due for that fault anyway.

( and having been in the frozen food wholesale business for nearly 20 years!) The main thing to do when starting a fridge AFTER it has been transported on it's side is to give it a few short bursts of power before turning it on full time. My fridge mechanics all agreed that fridges need to settle, and also mix the oil properly before they are turned on full time. My method has always been 2 or 3, three second bursts from the mains, then the fourth power on is the final, and then left on. I'm not a fridge mechanic, but apparently this distributes the oil evenly before the compressor has a chance to wear (hence the short bursts). User #5069 22216 posts JGCarouserreference: whrl.pl/RNtd Eposted 2006-Feb-26, 12:49 pm AESTIf you transport the fridge on it's side though, you risk getting oil into the reciever/dryer, which will stuff it. Upright is best. I do have one old fridge that i had to move sideways to get it down the stairs. Waited a few hours, and the thing wouldn't work. In fact it wouldn't work 2 days later either, but a week later she worked fine and hasn't missed a bit.

What that does is allow the compressor to boil any dissolved refrigerant out of the oil. It's useful if the fridge has been off for a while to stop the compressor destroying it's valves by slugging liquid. If you do that you should leave it off for 10-15 seconds between starts. Not really anything to do with it's oil return though.

Tweet 11Tags: activities, chores, discipline, kids, money, money saving, preschooler How Much Should You Pay Your Child for Chores?by Ashley Koffroth A good rule of thumb is to pay your child $1 for each year of their age, per week. When your child starts doing chores, you may wonder: should I pay him? Parents seem to disagree on whether or not their children should receive an allowance based solely on doing chores. There are currently several methods used to distribute allowances. Three common methods, according to Money Crashers, are: Unconditional This method means your child receives a weekly allowance, whether or not your child completes her chores. Pro: This system means your child will have money to manage on a regular basis. Hopefully, this will be a tool in teaching her to control her finances. Con: This system essentially offers your child free money, which isn’t very conducive to encouraging responsibility. As Needed Under this arrangement, your child only receives money when he needs it. Pro: This allows you to discuss money management whenever your child does need something. Con: Distributing money as needed means your child won’t have money very consistently, and this method doesn’t teach him to earn what he wants. { MORE: Kids and “Chores” – Change the Language }Earned This system involves paying your child an allowance based on chore completion. There are multiple ways to use this structure. The first way is to assign your child certain chores to do each week. If she completes all of her chores, she gets her allowance. If she doesn’t complete her chores, then she doesn’t get any money. The second way is to set a certain amount of money for each individual chore and pay your child for each one that is completed. This way, you can choose to either assign chores to your child, or let her pick how many chores she wants to do, based on how much money she wants to earn. Continue Reading What do you think?

D605471	https://siyunstellasung.wordpress.com/2012/11/28/sat-essay-does-money-lead-selfishness/	(SAT Essay) Does money lead selfishness?	(SAT Essay) Does money lead selfishness?28Wednesday Nov 2012Posted by siyunstellasung in Uncategorized≈ 1 Comment Does money lead selfishness?111063 성시윤Money is the force that moves the society today; it is one of the strong motivations of people to work and thus makes society work more vigorously. Due to people’s excessive desire for money, however, various corruptions occur. Observing crimes and duplicities happening related to money, many people believe that the cause of such deterioration in society is the selfishness derived from money. Nevertheless, such corruptions are not due to the selfishness; the motivation and ambition of an individual who uses money is the actual cause. As the case of Bill Gates and Korean ancient king Saejong reveals, money does not lead selfishness, but actually can lead to benevolence. Bill Gates, one of the wealthiest people in the world, built a arity named after him and is helping various parts of the world. He does not only help those who are lack of money, but also invests his money developing alternative resources that can help countless people who are not accessible to electricity. In other words, Bill Gates is continually putting effort to improve world through the abundant money he has. Since he has enough money, he is able to think of new ideas and try creative activities that he dreamed of to help people. Some people in the world, despite enough money they have, relentlessly desire to achieve wealth, pursuing one’s own benefit. On the other hand, there are people like Bill Gates who aim to use the money for the public. Such occasions show that whether money leads to selfishness or not depends on the personal goal of the individual who uses the money. The difference of Korean ancient Kings Saejong and Kwangjong also demonstrates that selfishness is not driven by money. Both kings had enough money to control ancient Korea, and they had enough money to use for their own. Saejong, who pursued the improvement of his people, invested money to develop diverse technology that helped people’s lives such as farming. He further spent money to create Korean’s own language for the convenience of his people. On the other hand, Kwangjong, who ignored his people, pursued more of pleasure of his life, spent much of the money to hold parties in the palace and import accessories from abroad. Consequently, his wrong motivation of using the money led to the decline of the country. As the contrasting consequence of the two kings managing the money shows, money does not lead selfishness, but an individual who uses the money is the fundamental cause. The cases of Bill Gates and King Saejong indicate that money does not lead to selfishness. Further, the contrast of the two king reveals that the cause of the selfishness related to money is not the money itself, but the motivation and aims of an individual who uses money.

The wait is over — HBO has set a premiere date for Season 7 of its blockbuster fantasy drama Game Of Thrones, The seven-episode seventh season will launch July 16. The network also released the first teaser for the new season. You can watch it below. Related 'Game Of Thrones' Rock Arch Collapses Into The Sea After Heavy Storm In an extraordinarily elaborate, elongated Facebook Live video announcement watched by more than 150,000 fans, the premiere date was revealed as a big block of ice was melted by flaming torches. Fans were asked to type the word FIRE in comments to speed up the melting. Also interspersed were short videos of the series’ stars such as Alfie Allen breathing fire. The ice and fire theme — underlined by the name of the book series, A Song of Ice and Fire — was played up in the Season 7 poster released earlier this week. HBO promo’ed that the reveal would be made at 11 AM PT, but the first iteration of the video ended abruptly without a premiere date. A second version also ended without a reveal. Third time (after an excruciating wait) was the charm. GOT, whose previous seasons consisted of 10 episodes each, typically premiered in April after filming during the second half of the previous year. Season 7 was delayed because the storyline required a longer period of shooting in winter conditions. This is the beginning of the end for GOT, whose creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss had revealed that the Emmy-winning series will end with Seasons 7 and 8. While Season 7’s episode count was set at seven last summer, before it went into production, the length of Go T’ s final installment had been in flux. Benioff and Weiss had said that they were considering a 6-episode final season. GOT is executive produced by Benioff and Weiss as well as Carolyn Strauss, Frank Doelger and Bernadette Caulfield. George R. R. Martin, on whose books the series is based, is a co-executive producer.

For an explanation of our Advertising Policy, visit this page.“Reader Questions” are answered three days a week — Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays — by TPG Senior Writer Julian Mark Kheel. International visa rules can be confusing, especially when it comes to traveling in, out and through China, as TPG reader James has been discovering…I have a 12 hour layover in Beijing and I’m trying to determine if a visa would be required if I leave the airport to do some sightseeing. TPG Reader James James is referring to a program called “visa free transit” which China implemented and then expanded in recent years. It’s important to note that Chinese visa free transit rules are very specific and somewhat tricky. If you’re not eligible, you’ll need to have a visa to enter China and you need to get it before you leave the US since you can’t obtain one upon landing in the country. When you check in at the airport, the airline desk agent will likely rely on a computer system called TIMATIC (short for Travel Information Manual Automatic) to determine if you’re eligible to travel without a visa. If the computer says you can’t go, then you almost certainly won’t be going, so be absolutely certain you know the rules before you arrive at the airport. There are three lengths of Chinese visa free transit available — 24-hour, 72-hour and 144-hour — and each one has its own rules and applies to different cities in China. But in all cases, the key word here is transiting, meaning you must be arriving by air from one country (call it “Country A”) and departing China (“Country B”) enroute to a third country (“Country C”). You cannot go directly back to Country A, and you must already have your confirmed ticket — no standbys — to Country C when landing in China to be eligible for visa-free transit. So as an example, you can’t fly from Los Angeles (LAX) to Beijing (PEK), stay a day, and then fly back to the US without having a visa for your day in China. You’ll have to go on to somewhere else first. But yes, a connection will count — you can go from L. A. to Beijing, then fly to Tokyo (NRT) for a 90-minute layover before heading back to LAX. Beyond that, the 24-hour visa free transit rules are the broadest and simplest of the three versions. When transiting nearly all Chinese cities, you can exit the airport and enter China (and even change airports within China) without a visa so long as your scheduled departure time is no more than exactly 24 hours after your scheduled inbound arrival time. Don’t worry if your inbound flight arrives early or your outbound flight runs late — the scheduled time is what matters. Beijing is one of 15 cities currently eligible for 72-hour visa free transit. Image courtesy of Dong Wenjie/Getty Images. If you’re a US citizen, you may be eligible for 72-hour visa free transit, but only if you’re visiting certain Chinese cities — as of this writing, they are Beijing (PEK) , Changsha (CSX), Chengdu (CTU), Chongqing (CKG), Dalian (DLC), Guangzhou (CAN), Guilin (KWL), Harbin (HRB), Kunming (KMG), Qingdao (TAO), Shenyang (SHE), Tianjin (TSN), Wuhan (WUH), Xi’an (XIY) and Xiamen (XMN). But if you use this option, you generally must stay within your region of arrival, which is roughly 100 miles from your arrival airport. Also, some of these cities consider your arrival time to be midnight the day after you arrive instead of your scheduled arrival time. Finally, US citizens transiting three other Chinese cities — Shanghai (SHA and PVG), Hangzhou (HGH) or Nanjing Lukou (NKG) — can take advantage of the 144-hour visa free transit rules. The major difference with this option, aside from the cities involved, is that you can travel amongst the three 144-hour cities while you’re in the country. These are just the broad guidelines and there are a number of other nuances to China’s visa free transit program, so make sure you double check the rules and even bring a TIMATIC printout to the airport with you if possible. And if you find you aren’t eligible for visa free transit, Chinese visas are available in lengths of six months to 10 years and can be complicated to get, so TPG recommends using a third-party service like Allied Passport & Visa.

D103709	https://www.findatopdoc.com/Medical-Library/Symptoms/Low-Body-Temperature	Low Body Temperature	Low Body Temperature1 Low Body Temperature Summary2 Causes3 Diagnosis and Treatment1 Low Body Temperature Summary Many people have a lower-than-normal body temperature (less than 98.6˚F). Body temperature that is slightly higher or lower than normal is not worrisome, but too low of one (in the range of < 95˚F) is referred to as hypothermia. Such a drop in body temperature may lead to serious complications and requires medical attention. In severe cases of hypothermia, one’s temperature may drop even further to below 82˚F. As the body temperature decreases, it affects the functioning of many internal organs. If left untreated, it may lead to heart and respiratory failure. The most common symptoms of low body temperature are: Shivering Reduced rate of breathing Slow speech Clumsiness Stumbling Confusion Body temperature may be low in a person who has severe fatigue, low pulse, and periods of unconsciousness. Exposure to cold weather is one of the most common causes of low body temperature, particularly hypothermia. When exposed to low outdoor temperatures, the body temperature also drops considerably. Certain endocrine conditions are known to cause a reduction in body temperature. Abnormal production of hormones by the thyroid glands, adrenal glands, and pituitary glands, for example, leads to low body temperature. Some neurological conditions are also implicated in a drop in body temperature. Conditions like stroke, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, ruptured brain aneurysm, and brain trauma may impact the balance between heat production and heat loss, leading to reduced body temperature. Disorders of the hypothalamus may also cause the body temperature to be lower than normal. Certain medications are implicated in low body temperature as well. This includes medications used to treat depression, anxiety, and pain. Declining kidney function is also a cause of this. Major risk factors for low body temperature are age, mental problems, alcohol and drug abuse, and certain medical conditions and medications. Low body temperature, particularly hypothermia, leads to complications including an increased risk of cold-related injuries like frostbite and gangrene. Signs and symptoms of the condition are the best indicators for a diagnosis of hypothermia. Based on the severity of the drop, other tests and investigations may be recommended. Rectal temperature is considered to be a better indicator, particularly when the patient is breathing through the mouth; in this case, oral temperature may give spurious results. Alcohol and medication history is noted to rule out further possible causes. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine tests are suggested to check for adrenal insufficiency. If the low body temperature is a chronic condition, sepsis and exposure to a cold environment are ruled out. Treatment of low body temperature depends on the severity of the condition. Hypothermia treatment guidelines suggest immediate first aid care for the affected person and includes removing any wet clothing, moving the person to a warm place, covering the person with blankets, insulating the person’s body, monitoring breathing, providing warm beverages, and applying warm compresses. Warm intravenous fluids, blood rewarming, airway rewarming, and irrigation are possible medical treatments for hypothermia. If the reduction in body temperature is due to other medical conditions, specific treatment methods are followed. Medications to control endocrine abnormalities and neurologic conditions are helpful in controlling the symptom.2 Causes Losing body heat faster than it is produced is the actual cause of low body temperature. Exposure to cold conditions is one of the most common causes of hypothermia. Exposure to a climate that is colder than one’s body temperature may also cause a drop if the person is not dressed appropriately. Not wearing warm clothes, staying out for a long time, accidental falls in cold water, and inadequate heating at home all may lead to low body temperature. Spending time in cold while drinking alcohol is equally risky, as alcohol causes the blood vessels to expand, which in turn leads to a greater loss of heat from the body. Age is a risk factor for developing hypothermia. Infants and elderly people have a high risk of hypothermia, as they have a reduced ability to control body temperature. It is important for people in this age group to dress appropriately for cold weather to keep warm. Endocrine conditions are known to cause low body temperature in many people. The thyroid glands, pituitary glands, and adrenal glands are the three major glands involved in the regulation of temperature in the body. These glands produce hormones that regulate body functions. When the normal amount of hormones is not produced, it leads to a drop in body temperature. Hypothyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid glands produce less than normal amounts of thyroid hormones, is implicated in the development of this symptom. Hypothalamic dysfunction is also known to cause a reduction in body temperature. Diabetes is an endocrine dysfunction that may lead to low body temperature. Problems in the nervous system may also cause low body temperature. Stroke is characterized by low body temperature, and Parkinson’s disease also impacts the delicate balance between the production and loss of heat in the body. Multiple sclerosis and rupture of a brain aneurysm may also be associated with a reduction in body temperature. Brain trauma has low body temperature as one of its symptoms as well. Normal body temperature is regulated by the hypothalamus, an endocrine gland. Any disturbance or disorders that affect the hypothalamus tissues may result in low body temperature. Alcohol and drug abuse often affect the body’s judgment of cold, as it gives a false impression of warmth. This is caused by the expansion of blood vessels that carry blood to the skin, leading to loss of body heat. It may also lead to loss of consciousness, which, when it occurs outside, is very risky. Mental illnesses like dementia, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder may increase the risk of hypothermia. One of the causes for this change is the inability of patients to dress appropriately according to the weather outside. They often do not realize the risk and stay outdoors for a long time, leading to a drop in body temperature. Certain medications are related to low body temperature, including antidepressants, sedatives, and anti-psychotic medications. These medications affect the body’s ability to regulate temperature and cause a drop in temperature. Some severe infections like sepsis also have hypothermia as a symptom. It is a potentially life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention. Decline in kidney functioning is also a cause for low body temperature in some people. Expert Answers Within how many hours of getting a stroke should one... Have a question about Hypothermia? Ask a doctor now3 Diagnosis and Treatment Medical history, symptoms, and a physical examination provide important clues to suggest a diagnosis of low body temperature. The causes of this symptom are extensive, and diagnostic tests are based on these possible causes. Taking oral temperature to ascertain low body temperature may turn out to be false if the patient is a mouth breather; rectal temperature gives a better indication of body temperature in hypothermia. If low body temperature persists for a long time, sepsis and exposure to cold can be ruled out from the list of probable causes. One’s history of alcohol and medications also needs to be checked to rule out their possibility. If adrenal insufficiency is suspected, BUN and creatinine levels are checked. An ACTH stimulation test may also be suggested in the case of adrenal insufficiency. For other diseases and disorders, specific tests may be recommended. First aid is ideal for people with hypothermia until medical attention is received. In first aid care: Limit the movement of the affected person and avoid rubbing and massaging. This is important, because excessive or vigorous movement may make the condition serious. The person should be moved to a warmer place, but if this is not possible, shield the person from wind and cold. Wet clothing, if any, should be removed, and the person should be covered with a warm layer of clothing. The person’s body should be insulated from the cold ground. If the person’s pulse cannot be felt, it is important to monitor breathing. If the rate is dangerously slow, CPR should be provided. Give warm beverages to the affected person. The beverage should be non-alcoholic and non-caffeinated for better results. Warm, dry compresses applied onto the neck and chest may also help. Emergency medical treatment for hypothermia consists of blood rewarming, warm intravenous fluid, airway rewarming, and irrigation. In blood rewarming, blood is drawn out of the body, warmed, and then recirculated. This is usually done with the help of a hemodialysis machine. Warm intravenous salt water helps keep the body warm and increases body temp. Humidified oxygen given directly may help keep the airways warm. The area around the lungs and abdominal cavity are kept warm by irrigation. Other treatment methods may vary with the underlying cause of low body temperature. Treating mental illnesses that cause low body temperature helps relieve the symptom. Limiting drug and alcohol use is very important in preventing a drop in body temperature. Specific medical conditions that lead to low body temperature are treated accordingly. The dosage of medications that cause low body temperature may be altered after discussion with the doctor. If the person works in cold conditions, it is important to discuss this with the doctor before taking these medications. Herbal and Lifestyle Treatments A decrease in the rate of metabolism and any other medical conditions one encounters is often due to poor lifestyle choices by the individual. Bringing about changes in diet by including well-balanced meals and increasing one’s activity level can build up the immune system. One should also stay away from toxic items and limit their exposure. Making these healthy changes in lifestyle will help stabilize the rate of metabolism as well as the body’s internal temperature. To boost overall health, one can perform rigorous exercises, such as weight-lifting and interval training, and the diet should include high protein and low carbohydrate content. Herbal forms of treatment are known to be effective in treating individuals who suffer from low body temperature. Three of the most important herbs are ginger, fennel, and cinnamon bark, as they are known to be some of the most effective herbal treatments and act as natural temperature stimulants. One can easily get these, and they are completely safe for the treatment of a number of other medical conditions as well. Cinnamon bark: Cinnamon bark is known to support overall health in a number of ways, including maintaining the glycemic balance and regulating blood sugar metabolism, both of which are related to internal temperature. Use of cinnamon bark helps with liver detoxification as well as the lymphatic tissues. It is also known to aid in digestion. Ginger: Ginger is very well known for its thermogenic properties. Thus, it is one of the best supplements to increase the body’s temperature and also revitalize the overall health of the individual. As one digests ginger, it naturally uplifts the temperature of the body, thereby increasing the metabolic functioning. Ginger is also loaded with anti-inflammatory properties and acts as a strong antioxidant. It is widely used to treat other types of health conditions as well. Fennel: Fennel is famously known to speed up the rate of metabolism along with breaking down the fat present in the body. It also assists in lessening thyroid symptoms as well as the core condition itself. Fennel is known to be rich in certain minerals, such as calcium. Fennel delivers all the essential and important nutrients to maintain the overall health of the body. A low body temperature is often linked to symptoms pertaining to other medical conditions rather than the actual disease itself. However, taking some natural treatments will help increase and normalize the body’s temperature along with boosting the individual’s overall health. Apart from the above, there are certain other natural remedies one can try: Coconut oil: Raw coconut oil is known to have a lot of benefits for those suffering from low body temperature. It can be applied on certain parts of the body, such as the nose, and then you tilt your head back slightly and allow the oil to drain into the throat and sinuses. It can also be added to the ears. This can be done prior to going to bed, giving you a nice sleep along with normalizing body temperature. You can also apply it to your skin, as it acts as a natural moisturizer. One can also use coconut oil for cooking, but in moderate quantities. Coconut oil, if consumed in adequate amounts in food, helps increase energy levels in the body and also lessens the feeling of cold in the hands and feet. Keep moving: Movement of the body is very important, as it helps stabilize body temperature. One can perform exercises, brisk walking, running, jumping jacks, or any other dynamic stretches. You can take breaks, but only for a short time, since stopping for a longer duration causes the cold to set in again and the body temperature to dip. However, one should be cautious while carrying out any rigorous form of exercise or trying high-intensity movements; if an individual with a severe case of hypothermia suddenly jumps or moves, it can trigger cardiac arrest. Consumption of hot/warm foods or liquids: If one feels cold or the body temperature seems to dip down, the individual should consume foods or drinks that are warm or hot to raise the temperature. Digestion can also raise the temperature, since the body absorbs heat from the food consumed. Hot meals are always welcomed, but beverages that are hot and sweet can be prepared quickly, and, in addition, the sugar in these beverages provides an added boost of calories for digestion, thus increasing temperature. A few good warm beverage options are warm milk, to which you can add honey, if desired, coffee, tea (especially green tea), veggie or non-veggie soup, hot chocolate, and broth. Be sure to eat proper meals, since digestion helps raise body temperature when the body starts to metabolize the food. One should note that the body’s natural efforts to warm up when cold can also lead to a significant increase in metabolism. This means one can burn more calories than normal, thus, consumption of food also ensures one has enough energy being produced in the body, which is very necessary to fuel the body’s innate warming process.

D2007576	http://www.patrobertson.com/Statesman/PresidentialBidAnalyzed.asp	A Presidential Bid Analyzed	Home Fast Facts Press Releases Speeches Teachings Biography Spiritual Journey Statesman Author Family Humanitarian Businessman Media Pioneer Education Military Service Statesman A Presidential Bid Analyzed In the book The Plan, published in 1989, Pat Robertson describes his campaign for the Republican nomination for president of the United States. A summary of that description and the lessons learned follows. New Orleans is hot and steamy in the summertime, and the summer of 1988 was no exception. But those of us attending the presidential nominating convention of the Republican Party in August of 1988 weren't concerned about the weather. We had come to nominate the next president of the United States, to position our candidates to win in the fall, to alternately appeal to or strong-arm our way through armies of reporters and to draft a platform which represented strong conservative patriotic family values. To many of the assembled delegates and alternates…this was a time to revel in the closest brush with real political power they might ever know, while taking time to taste the delights of what many feel is the best party town in America. A Bittersweet Conclusion For me, convention week in New Orleans in August was to be bittersweet. I had run as a candidate for the Republican nomination for the presidency. I had run hard and, in the process, had raised the hopes and dreams of hundreds of thousands of Americans who shared my goal of "restoring the greatness of America through moral strength. "They had worked sacrificially, tirelessly, enthusiastically. They had given millions of dollars. They had proved in state after state that God-fearing, dedicated people, even though novices, when working for a cause, can get into politics and win. They had shocked the political world in the early maneuvering by scoring a resounding victory in Michigan. Then in the crucial preliminary straw balloting in Iowa -- which had broken Jimmy Carter out of the pack in 1975 -- they beat all the candidates and gave me resounding victory over a sitting vice president and the minority leader of the United States Senate. Excluding Michigan, which frankly, was stolen from them, they had won four states, scored second in about eight more, and had brought me a third place finish out of a field of six with 1.9 million votes. Supporters Devastated In the quest for the highest secular prize our nation has to offer a third place finish is respectable. But my supporters were devastated. It was as it they mourned for the dead. Because they felt as I did, that God had called me to win, not run third. So in New Orleans they were asking and I was asking one simple question-did God call me to run for president or not? And if He did call me to run, why did I lose? And why, with the loss, was there such incredible personal abuse and such enormous financial sacrifice? Did God have a plan for me? Does He have a plan for you? Can you and I learn God's plan for our lives, so that we will have lives filled with purpose and meaning, joy and satisfaction? Was the Decision to Run Wrong? In The Plan, Pat describes how he resisted the idea of running for president initially, convinced he could represent his constituency as a grass roots leader. Then during an intense period of prayer the thought pushed into his consciousness: "You will not want to do this, but you should do it." He prayed repeatedly that he did not want to be misled about such a momentous decision. Finally convinced that he should step out in faith, Pat launched a campaign. When that dream died, he asked the same questions we all ask when we think God has led us into a dead end. Quoting directly from The Plan: "I've been asked the question a hundred times: 'Did you miss God?' I asked over and over, 'Did I miss Your leading, Father?… Did I hear You?… Why didn't I win? '"This led Pat to the broader questions: Is it possible for you to know God's will and guidance in the large and small matters of life? Yes, God has a plan for our lives. Yes, we can know that plan and live in it. We can take heart in the historic fact that God is concerned with the eternal and with the temporal. In the final analysis, they are one. Why Did God Want Pat to Run for President? Quoting directly from The Plan:"Could it be that the reason for my candidacy has been fulfilled in the activation of tens of thousands of evangelical Christians into government? This campaign taught them that they were citizens with as much right to express their beliefs as any of the strident activists who have been so vocal in support of their own radical agenda at every level of our government. For the first time in recent history, patriotic, pro-family Christians learned the simple techniques of effective party-organizing and successful campaigning. "Their presence as an active force in American politics may result ultimately in at least one of America's major political parties taking on a profoundly Christian outlook in its platforms and party structure. The Ultimate Outcome A presidential campaign is brutal. The president of the United States is the chief executive of a vast bureaucracy and a budget in excess of $1 trillion. He sets policies that mean billions of dollars to businessmen, bankers, investors, labor unions, and foreign governments. He is commander in chief of the armed forces and his finger rests on the nuclear button. Therefore, the press of this nation will ruthlessly drill any newcomer who gets near all that power. Some perceived me as a threat and set out to do me in. The technique was simple. Merely distort every statement. Leave out key details. Belittle the size of crowds and popular support. It got so bad that one of my supporters cried out, "Lord, when will you vindicate your man?" But God's vindication does not necessarily come during the short space of an election cycle. After it was over, I asked myself a simple question: "If God called Jesus of Nazareth to be the Messiah, why did He fail? Did Jesus Fail? Pat goes on to say that Jesus failed by human standards but was part of God's perfect plan. Was He hurt? Of course he was. Will He be vindicated? Gloriously so. God had a plan for Jesus Christ. You might ask, does God have a plan for you and a plan for me? Absolutely…a plan every bit as perfect in its timing as God's plan was for Jesus Christ. Will God's plan or you and me always bring immediate worldly wealth and success? No, but God's plan will always bring peace and joy and fulfillment. Our duty is to find the perfect plan for our lives and to follow it with the ability He gives us. It's His responsibility to bring about the results. I know that something wonderful happened as a result of my run for the presidency. I know that God not only provided signs and guideposts for the race that were unmistakable. His hand of blessing after my return to CBN has been so strong that it can only be interpreted to say, "Well done, my son. You have been faithful, now receive My blessing. "Winning by God's Standards The week before the Super Tuesday primary I flew into the Bristol, Tennessee, Tri-Cities airport for a rally. There were about one thousand people in that early-morning crowd-shouting, clapping, waving banners. After a brief speech, I walked across to shake hands with the people. One member of that big crowd lives in my memory -- a little towheaded, freckle-faced boy about 10 years old. He looked up at me with eyes full of trust, and as I shook his hand, said with all the earnestness he could muster, "Please win! "To him I must reply, "Son I don't know your name, but I want you to know this. I followed God's plan for me, so in His eyes I did win. And you, too, can always be a winner, if you just put your hand in God's hand and walk on down the road with Him. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. —Philippians 4:13

The contestant is allowed to view the cards once only. Rules: Two independent witnesses/invigilators, persons of some standing in the community, must be present during the entire attempt. If a wrong card is called and this is corrected immediately and spontaneously without prompting then this would not count as an error. The maximum number of errors acceptable is half of one percent of the total number of cards involved, rounded up to the nearest whole number. The time taken to memorise the cards and to recall them should be recorded but are not essential requirements of the record.

Rubik's Cubesee extra page with details about this record Mental Calculation: Addition Addition of 100 single-digit numbers Rules: The general rules for calculating records apply. This record is for the fastest time for an individual to add together 100 single-digit numbers. The record is a test of straightforward mental calculation. The calculator should perform the calculation in his/her head without the aid of any other person and without using a calculating machines, computers, etc. nor may the calculator write the numbers down. The 100 numbers (0-9) to be added together should be randomly selected by computer immediately prior to the calculation and should be displayed to the calculator on a computer screen, board, screen or similar. The numbers should ideally be presented on the screen in rows of, for example, five or ten digits. The calculator must see all the numbers simultaneously - numbers may not appear one after another on a screen etc. for the calculator. The calculator should write down the answer to the calculation. The timing begins when the 100 numbers become visible to the competitor and ends at the end of writing the answer. In some cases, the calculator may dictate the answer - then the timing ends as the calculator finishes dictating the answer. Two stopwatches should be used: it would be appreciated these stopwatches record in minutes and seconds and tenths of a second rather than hundredths of an hour. At the end of the attempt the time should be taken as an average of the two watches.32.57 s R. H.

Mental Calculation: Multiplication Johann Martin Zacharias Dase (Germany, 1824-1861) multiplied two 20 digit numbers in 6 minutes and two 100 digit numbers in 8 3/4 hous in 1861. He also multiplied two 8 digit numbers in 54 seconds. These records are historically accepted, although they were not achieved under modern rules. In 1980, Shakuntala Devi (India) was reported to have multiplied two 13-digit numbers in 28 sec. This record was accepted by the Guinness Book of Records, but later they added the comment "Some experts on calculating prodigies refuse to give credence to the above - largely on the grounds that it is so vastly superior to the calculating feats of any other invigilated prodigy. "The Limca Book of Records (India) accepts this record as well as "Buzan's Book of Mental Records" which comments: "We respectfully point out that Mrs Devi has been invigilated at a number of times, has appeared on numerous live television shows, performing 'new' calculations based on the works of various mathematics professors, and has consistently performed at the level indicated in her record-breaking performance. We support Mrs Devi in her natural excellence, and hope that researchers will increasingly realise that their amazement and amusement should lie not in the outstanding excellence of any human mental performance, but in the rarity of similar performances. "Note: One of the factors she had to multiply ended in 0, so that in fact she multiplied a 12 digit number with a 13 digit number. Multiplication of two 5- or 8-digit Numbers Rules: The general rules for calculating records apply. This record is for the fastest time for an individual to multiply two five-digit / eight-digit numbers. Ten tasks have to be solved without a single error. The clock does not stops between the taske. The record is a test of straightforward mental calculation. The calculator should perform the calculation in his/her head without the aid of any other person and without using a calculating machines, computers, etc. nor may the calculator write the numbers down. The numbers to be multiplied together should be randomly selected by computer immediately prior to the calculation and should be displayed to the calculator on a computer screen, board, screen or similar. The calculator should write down the answer to the calculation. If the answer is written down, this can be done left-to-right, right-to-left or in any arbitrary order. The timing begins when the two numbers become visible to the competitor and ends at the end of writing the answer. In some cases, the calculator may dictate the answer - then the timing ends as the calculator finishes dictating the answer.

D113947	http://www.fao.org/ag/locusts-CCA/en/1010/1018/index.html	.	More about locusts WHAT ARE LOCUSTSLocusts and grasshoppers are acridids, i.e. short-horned insects belonging to a Family called Acrididae in the Orthoptera Order, which also gathers crickets and long-horned grasshoppers. Insects belonging to the Orthoptera Order can be readily identified by their large hind legs which enable them to jump. Short-horned grasshoppers Long-horned grasshoppers Crickets Locusts differ from grasshoppers by their capacity to react to high densities. Under crowded conditions, their behaviour, morphology, appearance, physiology, habits and ecology change progressively (over several generations), a shift known as phase change. When phase change occurs from a solitary to a gregarious phase, locusts behave no more individually but form eventually dense bands of hoppers and swarms of adults. This phase change occurs after suitable ecological conditions (sufficient vegetation for food and roosting, appropriate soil moisture for laying) have allowed successful breeding generations, low natural mortality and number increase. The modifications accompanying the phase change are as follows: Behavior In solitary phase (low numbers and densities), locusts behave as individuals, much like grasshoppers. In gregarious phase, they form dense and highly mobile (marching) bands of hoppers and flying swarms of adults (winged locusts), which behave as an entity. Biology This gregarious behavior is reinforced by a synchronization of the biological events: mating, egg-laying, hatching, fledging. Thus, eggs hatch at the same moment from dense egg-beds and the newly appeared hoppers form immediately primary bands; after fledging, the immature adults will form swarms. Morphology Some modifications in morphology, which come together with phase change, provide locusts with a better capacity to fly over long distances (better ration between wing surface and body weight). There can be other changes in shape (pronotum for instance) and in colour (general body pattern). In the solitary phase, locusts exhibit sexual dimorphism with females being larger in size than males; the differences in size between the sexes become less pronounced and may sometimes disappear in the gregarious phase. Migratory Locust: Difference in the shape of the adult pronotum between solitary (a) and gregarious (b) phase. Desert Locust: Difference in the colour of solitary (green) and gregarious (black with orange spots) hoppers. Physiology Generally, gregarious females lay fewer eggs than the solitary ones but these eggs are bigger and more resistant. Habits Gregarious locusts are able to change their ecological and food habits and therefore to settle and breed in a wide range of habitats. A direct consequence concerns the distribution areas with the invasion one (gregarious populations) much bigger than the recession one (solitary populations). The most famous example of such capacity to migrate and settle a wide range of habitats is given by the Desert Locust [ Schistocerca gregaria (Forskål 1775)], which is present in about 30 countries during recession periods (about 16 million square kilometers) and can extend over or into parts of 60 countries during plagues (about 29 million square kilometers), as indicated on the map. LOCUSTS IN CAUCASUS AND CENTRAL ASIAAn important specificity of these 3 locusts in the considered area (CCA) is that they are univoltine, i.e. they have only one generation per year. As for other locusts and grasshoppers, there are three successive development stages: egg, nymph and adult. The nymph (or hopper) stage can be further divided into growth stages called instars. The eggs are almost always laid in the ground; after hatching, the nymphs (locusts without wings) develop into instars separate by moults and eventually become immature adults after fledging (the last moult). As an example, the following diagram shows the life cycle of the Australian Plague Locust [ Chortoicetes terminifera (Walker 1870)] which has five instars during its nymph stage. In such diagrams, the times provided for development correspond to optimum conditions and are only approximate. Life cycle of the Australian Plague Locust From Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Australian Government In CCA, the unique generation develops in spring and summer, from egg hatching (in early spring) to last egg-laying and death of adults, in late summer. The eggs over-winter in the ground. Consequently, the three species are present and likely to provoke infestations at about the same period, which can complicate implementation of monitoring and control operations because their habitats rarely coincide. When in solitary phase, the three species have preferred traditional habitats: CIT can be considered as the locust of fallows and waste lands and DMA of semi-arid steppe and semi-desert while LMI is mainly found on river and lake banks. This has obvious consequences on their diet. When they are in gregarious phase, the three species can eat a wide range of natural and cultivated plants and become more polyphagous; their hopper bands and adult swarms are therefore devastating for agriculture and forestry. Specific data sheets are available for the three main locust species present in Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA): the Italian Locust Calliptamus italicus (Linnaeus 1758) -CIT, the Moroccan Locust Dociostaurus maroccanus (Thunberg 1815) -DMA, and the Migratory Locust Locusta migratoria migratoria (Linnaeus 1758) -LMI.

It is a very wealthy city thanks to oil. The climate of <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Stavanger is mainly determined by its northerly, coastal position and the warm Gulf Stream. It has a cool temperate maritime climate which means it has all four seasons but a small temperature range with very cool winters and mild summers. This is a contrast to the colder winters and warmer summers of inland areas. The city is very wet and windy, especially in the autumn. Average rainfall is around 1200mm per year and the city sees rain or snow on more than 200 days per year. Spring is pretty cold but often bright. It is the driest time of the year, with average rainfall about half that of autumn. May is the driest month seeing 39mm on average. However, it light rain falls very frequently. The average temperature climbs into the teens by late spring. It gets really cold at night; average lows start out at 0ÂºC in March donât get above 6ÂºC till the end of the season. It is possible to ski (the cross-country variety) right into May in the mountains near to Stavanger (about an hourâs drive). Sunshine levelsare good, increasing to six hours per day by the end of the season. Summers can be a bit of a mixed bag. When the sun comes outtemperatures get into the low 20s. But rain falls regularly and on wet, windy, grey days the temperature can fall back into the mid teens. Rainfall increases in late summer; early summer sees lighter showers. Much like in England, summers vary from year to year and moment to moment conditions are erratic. July and August are the hottest months with average highs of 17ÂºC. However, heat waves have seen the temperature as high as 30ÂºC in July. There are many great beaches in the Stavanger area and surfing is popular, though never without a wetsuit as the water temperaturepeaks at 15ÂºC in August. Autumn is very cool and wet. October is the wettest month in the year and sees 110mm of rain on average. Wet, windy days are the norm with 24 days seeing rain in October and 26 in November. Strong winds from the Atlantic batter the coast with huge storms, lashing the streets with driving rain. September can still see pleasant temperatures, but by late autumn it gets cold, with average temperature dropping to around 5ÂºC. Winters in Stavanger are not necessarily what you would expect in Norway. Snow does not linger for long and it does not fall to far below freezing. This is due to the warming Gulf Stream. Only an hour inland, temperatures get significantly lower and snow settles in for months. Midwinter in Stavanger sees average temperatures hovering just above zero. January and February are the coldest months with average highs of 2ÂºC and average lows of -2 ÂºC. Rainfall is quite high too, at around 80mm per month. It is very windy and storms similar to those in autumn often develop.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
D859624	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupon	Coupon	From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article is about a document exchanged in a financial transaction. For other uses, see Coupon (disambiguation). The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the United States and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. You may improve this article, discuss the issue on the talk page, or create a new article, as appropriate. (December 2010) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Food stuff ration coupons types I–V for direct laborers and workers in Vietnam, 1976–1986In marketing, a coupon is a ticket or document that can be redeemed for a financial discount or rebate when purchasing a product. Customarily, coupons are issued by manufacturers of consumer packaged goods or by retailers, to be used in retail stores as a part of sales promotions. They are often widely distributed through mail, coupon envelopes, magazines, newspapers, the Internet (social media, email newsletter), directly from the retailer, and mobile devices such as cell phones. Since only price conscious consumers are likely to spend the time to claim the savings, coupons function as a form of price discrimination, enabling retailers to offer a lower price only to those consumers who would otherwise go elsewhere. In addition, coupons can also be targeted selectively to regional markets in which price competition is great. In government, a coupon is a paper certificate used to administer a benefit or permission.

In Britain, the United States, and Canada it is pronounced / ˈ k uː p ɒ n / KOO -pon. A common alternate American pronunciation is / ˈ k juː p ɒ n / KEW -pon. [1]History Origin Believed to be the first coupon ever, this ticket for a free glass of Coca-Cola was first distributed in 1888 to help promote the drink. By 1913, the company had redeemed 8.5 million tickets. [2]In 1886, The Coca-Cola Company was incorporated in Atlanta, Georgia, with Asa Candler as one of the partners. He transformed Coca-Cola from an insignificant tonic into a profitable business by using advertising techniques. Candler's marketing included having the company's employees and sales representatives distribute complimentary coupons for Coca-Cola. [3] Coupons were mailed to potential customers and placed in magazines. The company gave soda fountains free syrup to cover the costs of the free drinks. It is estimated that between 1894 and 1913 one in nine Americans had received a free Coca-Cola, for a total of 8,500,000 free drinks. By 1895 Candler announced to shareholders that Coca-Cola was served in every state in the United States. In Australia consumers first came in contact with couponing when a company called Shop A Docket promoted offers and discounts on the back of shopping receipts in 1986. [4]Timeline A timeline for the history of coupons: [ citation needed]1888 – Asa Candler used paper tickets for free glasses of Coke to help market his new soda1909 – C. W. Post used 1 cent coupons to start marketing Grape Nuts breakfast1930 – Coupon usage grows dramatically during the great depression1940 – Big chain grocery stores begin to use coupons to attract consumers away from purchasing at local markets1957 – Nielsen Coupon Clearing House was created to be devoted entirely to coupon redemption1965 – Half of all the families in the United States begin cutting coupons1990 – The invention of the internet leads to the downloaded printable coupon and online coupons1992 – The last year coupon usage is on the rise for the next 17 years2002 – Americans saved $3.8 billion shopping with coupons2009 – The U. S. government uses coupons to promote converter box sales for the digital television transition Types and uses There are different types of values applied to coupons such as discounts, free shipping, buy-one get-one, trade-in for redemption, first-time customer coupons, free trial offer, launch offers, festival offers, and free giveaways. Similarly, there are different uses of coupons which include: to incentive a purchase, to reduce the price of a particular item or items, provide a free sample, or to help allow marketers better-understand the demographics of their customer. Function Coupons can be used to research the price sensitivity of different groups of buyers (by sending out coupons with different dollar values to different groups). In addition, it is generally assumed that buyers who take the effort to collect and use coupons are more price sensitive than those who do not. Therefore, the posted price paid by price-insensitive buyers can be increased, while using coupon discounts to maintain the price for price-sensitive buyers (who would not buy at a higher price). [5]Grocery coupons Grocery coupons come in two major types: store coupons and manufacturer's coupons. Store coupons are coupon-based discounts offered for a particular item or group of items. The issuing store will accept its own "store coupons", but some stores will also accept store coupons that are issued by competitors. Coupons issued by the manufacturer of a product may be used at any coupon-accepting store that carries that product. Manufacturer's coupons have the advantage of being currency at a variety of retailers, not just at one store. Grocery coupons are incentives for people who want to save money, but manufacturer coupons are primarily intended to advertise products and lure new customers with financial incentives. They may also be used to increase the sales of newspapers or other publications. For example, people may purchase multiple copies of a newspaper or magazine in order to use the coupons contained within. Some grocery stores regularly double the value of a grocery coupon as an incentive to bring customers into their stores. Additionally, stores might hold special events where they will double or triple coupon values on certain days or weeks. Whether or not a specific grocery chain will double or triple coupons usually depends on the original coupon value. [6]Expiration Most coupons have an expiration date after which they will not be honored. For example, Christmas coupons are valid only throughout the Christmas week. American military commissaries overseas honor manufacturers coupons for up to six months past the expiration date. [7]Delivery methods Customers may get these coupons from various sources, including national newspapers and the Internet, with web sites offering free printable grocery coupons can be printed at home and use them at retail store. Some major grocery chains also produce digital coupons that may be loaded onto the retailer's loyalty card at home, or at a coupon dispensing machine located in store. In 2011, the top five vehicles for distributing consumer packaged goods coupons in the U. S. were: the Free Standing Insert, a coupon booklet distributed through newspapers and other sources (89.4%); in-store distribution (4.2.%); direct mail (2.3%); magazines (1.5%); and coupons distributed on or in product packaging (1.3%). Other distribution methods together accounted for less than 2% of all coupons distributed. There are coupon-providing websites that provide customers with coupons of various stores. These sites accumulate coupons from various sources. Print media Clipping coupons from newspapers has been the most popular way to obtain coupons, though Internet and Mobile Phone coupons are gaining wide popularity. Based on its annual Red Plum Purse String Study [8] surveying more than 23,000 shoppers, a coupon provider, Redplum, reports 76% of coupon-seekers utilize newspapers as their primary source for coupons and deals; 59% find coupons in e-mails and coupon alerts, a 29% increase from 2010; and 33% use Internet searches to find coupons. Some retailers and companies use verification methods such as unique barcodes, coupon ID numbers, holographic seals, and watermarked paper as protection from unauthorized copying or use. Other than newspaper, there are also coupon book publishers and retailers who compile vouchers and coupons into books, either for sale or free. Internet coupons Online retailers often refer to coupons as "coupon codes", "promotional codes", "promotion codes", "discount codes", "keycodes", "promo codes", "surplus codes", "portable codes", "shopping codes", "voucher codes", "reward codes", "discount vouchers", "referral codes" or "source codes". Internet coupons typically provide reduced cost or free shipping, a specific dollar, percentage discount or to earn cashback while some offer to encourage consumers to purchase specific products or to purchase from specific retailers. Because paper coupons would be difficult to distribute and redeem, typically secret words or codes are distributed for consumers to type in at checkout. Marketers can use different codes for different channels or groups in order to differentiate response rates. Mobile coupons A mobile coupon is an electronic ticket solicited and or delivered to a mobile phone that can be exchanged for financial discount or rebate when purchasing product or service. Coupons are usually issued by manufacturers of consumer packaged goods or retailers, to be used in retail stores as part of a sales promotion. They are often distributed through WAP Push over SMS or MMS, through GEO Fencing technology or other mobile means. The customer redeems the coupon at store or online. In some cases, customers may redeem the mobile coupon at the point of sale. [ citation needed] Some retailers may choose to forward the redemption to a clearinghouse for final processing. What is unique about mobile coupons is the memory of information in the coupons often outlast the expiration dates of the coupons themselves, triggering actual purchases at later dates. [9] [10] Researchers suspect it is driven by the engagement generated by the mobile device. Mobile coupons are popular among U. S. fast-food customers. The primary success factors for the SMS campaigns are discount size, how the discount value is framed (as a gift or percent off) and the timing of the campaign. [9]Many retailers support the redemption of email and paper coupons via mobile devices. In addition to distributing such offers via their own email lists, SMS subscriptions, and apps, they are also often made available through coupon applications. Mobile app coupons A mobile app coupon can be either a regular coupon for redemption (discount value or discount percentage) used at checkout distributed by the app-makers or unique, personal sharing codes owned by each user to recruit new users with referral benefits (e.g. Airbnb, Uber ). The latter form requires personal sharing on behalf of users to their personal networks. Taxation Depending on the jurisdiction, coupons may or may not reduce the sales tax which must be paid by the consumer. This is often determined by who sponsors the coupon. If the coupon is issued by the retailer, the product was never offered at the original price and the coupon represents a reduction in the amount paid and the tax. If the coupon is issued by the manufacturer, the original price is still paid but some of the price is covered by the manufacturer instead of the consumer and the full price remains taxable. This is the case with the coupon-eligible converter boxes in the United States, which compensate in part for the forced conversion to digital TV. Trading Food Coupons Coupon manufacturers may or may not place restrictions on coupons limiting their transferability to ensure the coupons stay within the targeted market. Since such restrictions are not universal and are difficult and/or costly to enforce, limited coupon trading is tolerated in the industry. Organized coupon exchange clubs are commonly found in regions where coupons are distributed. Often coupons are available for purchase at some online sites, but since most coupons are not allowed to be sold, the fee is considered to be for the time and effort put into cutting out the coupons.

D2624101	https://www.quora.com/Why-are-the-left-and-right-sides-of-the-human-heart-divided-into-ventricles-and-atria	Why are the left and right sides of the human heart divided into ventricles and atria?	Quora User Answered Mar 13, 2014 · Author has 353 answers and 410.7k answer views Let's keep this simple. No fancy terms. The four parts of the heart help ensure efficiency in pumping blood. I am explaining the function of the four parts of the heart to explain why the heart is divided into atrium and ventricles. Since there are four parts the pumping pressure is divided. First part brings blood into the heart, which is coming from the right side of the body. 2nd part pushes blood to expose it to oxygen via the lungs. 3rd part brings blood already exposed to oxygen of lungs into 3rd part heart. Fourth or last part of heart brings that blood already exposed to oxygen in and pushes it out of the last part of the heart and back into the left side of body. The atrium and ventricles are needed because of the very specific mechanics of these four functions I mentioned above involving the filling and pumping of blood and the order it happens. I hope you understand it. It is harder to understand if I label all the parts of the heart and if I label all the veins and arteries, so I skipped it and made it layman's terms as much as I could. No one uses the terms I used in the medical profession but I simplified it for you. My background was advanced medical physiology course. But you should check me because it is some time now since I studied it. Correct me if Im wrong and if you found any errors.

Wisdom teeth can also come in crooked or facing the wrong direction. Or, if your jaw is not large enough to give them room, wisdom teeth may become impacted and unable to break through your gums. You may have trouble properly cleaning around wisdom teeth because they are so far in the back of your mouth and may be crowded. What are the symptoms of wisdom tooth problems? Wisdom teeth often cause no symptoms. Symptoms that may mean your wisdom teeth need to be removed include: * Pain or jaw stiffness near an impacted tooth. * Pain or irritation from a tooth coming in at an awkward angle and rubbing against your cheek, tongue, or top or bottom of the mouth. * An infected swelling in the flap of gum tissue that has formed on top of an impacted tooth that has partially broken through the gum. * Crowding of other teeth. * Tooth decay or gum disease if there's not enough room to properly care for the wisdom tooth and surrounding teeth. Most problems with wisdom teeth develop in people between the ages of 15 and 25. Few people older than 30 develop problems that require removal of their wisdom teeth.

In the back of mouth, the curve of the gums can lie close to the last molar, especially if you have a small jaw. This can cause the gingiva to be flush with your last tooth, creating a large cranny above the gingival fibers where food can get stuck. It is often hard, but not impossible, to clean there. I would suggest that you brush more carefully behind that last tooth and rinse with mouthwash for about a minute after brushing. If you are still growing, which is unlikely because you already had your wisdom tooth, might just have to wait for your jaw to give you enough space so that the gingiva can recess.

The original was designed by William Sancroft, then Archbishop of Canterbury. [1]Design and symbolism [ edit]The motto of the seal has been a matter of discussion for years since inception. The original motto, INDUS UNTERQUE SERVIET VNI is the Latin translation for "The two Indians will serve as one", or rather "Both Indies will serve Together", in reference to the collective servitude of the Taino and Arawak Indians to the colonisers. The motto was replaced in 1962 with the English motto "Out of Many, One People", [2] as tribute to the unity of the different cultural minorities inhabiting the nation. Perhaps as coincidence, the motto has the same meaning as the motto of the United States; E Pluribus Unum. Changes in the coat of arms [ edit]The Jamaican coat of arms has seen quite a number of changes, but only three are officially recorded. These changes occurred in 1906, 1957 and 1962. Arms of Jamaica from 1875 to 1906. Arms of Jamaica from 1906 to 8 April 1957. Arms of Jamaica from 8 April 1957 to 13 July 1962. Arms of Jamaica from 13 July to 6 August 1962.
