Induction cooking

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Induction cooktop)navigation search Top view of an induction cooktop Induction cooking heats a cooking vessel by magnetic induction, instead of by thermal conduction from a flame, or an electrical heating element. Because inductive heating directly heats the vessel, very rapid increases in temperature can be achieved. In an induction cooktop ("induction hob" or "induction stove"), a coil of copper wire is placed under the cooking pot and an alternating electric current is passed through it. The resulting oscillating magnetic field induces a magnetic flux which repeatedly magnetises the pot, treating it like the lossy magnetic core of a transformer. This produces large eddy currents in the pot, which because of the resistance of the pot, heats it. For nearly all models of induction cooktops, a cooking vessel must be made of, or contain, a ferromagnetic metal such as cast iron or some stainless steels. However, copper, glass, non magnetic stainless steels, and aluminum vessels can be used if placed on a ferromagnetic disk which functions as a conventional hotplate. Induction cooking is quite efficient, which means it puts less waste heat into the kitchen, can be quickly turned off, and has safety advantages compared to gas stoves. Cooktops are also usually easy to clean, because the cooktop itself does not get very hot.

The paper is undamaged since heat is produced only in the bottom of the pot Induction cooking provides faster heating, improved thermal efficiency, and more consistent heating than cooking by thermal conduction, with precise control similar to gas. [1] The induction element has heating performance comparable to a gas burner, but is significantly more energy-efficient. [2] The surface of the cooker is heated only by the pot and so does not usually reach a hazardous temperature. Because the temperature of the cooking surface matches that of the pot, this permits precise control of the cooking temperature. The control system shuts down the element if a pot is not present or not large enough. Induction cookers are easy to clean because the cooking surface is flat and smooth and does not get hot enough to make spilled food burn and stick. The unit can detect whether cookware is present by monitoring power delivered. This allows it to keep a pot just simmering, or automatically turn an element off when cookware is removed. Because the cook top is shallow compared to a gas-fired or electrical coil cooking surface, wheelchair access can be improved; the user's legs can be below the counter height and the user's arms can reach over the top. [1]Resilience [ edit]Induction cookers have glass ceramic tops that can be damaged by sufficient impact although they are required to meet minimum specified product safety standards with regard to impact. [3] Aluminum foil can melt onto the top and cause permanent damage or cracking of the top. Surfaces can be scratched by sliding pans across the cooking surface. As with other electric ceramic cooking surfaces, a maximum pan size may be specified by the manufacturer. Noise [ edit]A small amount of noise is generated by an internal cooling fan. Audible electromagnetic noise (a hum or buzz) may be produced by cookware exposed to high magnetic fields, especially at high power if the cookware has loose parts; cookware with welded-in cladding layers and solid riveting is less likely to produce this type of noise. Some users may detect a whistling or whining sound from the cookware or from the powered electronic devices. Other considerations [ edit]Some cooking techniques available when cooking over a flame are not applicable. Persons with implanted cardiac pacemakers or other electronic medical implants are usually instructed to avoid sources of magnetic fields; the medical literature seems to suggest that proximity to induction cooking surfaces is safe, but individuals with such implants should always check first with their cardiologists. [4] Radio receivers near the induction-cooking unit may pick up some electromagnetic interference. Efficiency [ edit]Cooking methods that use flames or hot heating elements have a significantly higher loss to the ambient; induction heating directly heats the pot. Because the induction effect does not directly heat the air around the vessel, induction cooking results in further energy efficiencies. Cooling air is blown through the electronics beneath the surface but is only slightly warm. The purpose of a cooktop is to prepare food; for example, long periods of simmering may be required. A rational measure of efficiency would be to compare the actual energy input to the cooktop compared to some theoretical value require to prepare the specified foodstuffs. Since experiments to make these measurements would be difficult to replicate, energy efficiency measurements that are published concentrate on the ability of a cooktop to transfer energy to a metal test block, which is much easier to measure in a repeatable fashion. Energy transfer efficiency, as defined by U. S. Department of Energy (DOE), is the percentage of the energy consumed by a cooker that, at the end of a simulated cooking cycle, appears to having been transferred as heat to a standardized aluminum test block. The DOE test cycle starts with both the block and the cooktop at room temperature: 77 °F ± 9 °F (25 °C ± 5 °C). The cooktop is then switched to maximum heating power. When the test block temperature reaches + 144 °F (+80 °C) above the initial room temperature, the cooktop power is immediately reduced to 25% ± 5% of its maximum power. After 15 minutes of operation at this lower power setting, the cooktop is turned off and the heat energy in the test block is measured. [5] Efficiency is given by the ratio between energy in the block and input (electric) energy. Such a test, using a combination of two different power levels, was conceived to mimic real life use. Wasted energy terms such as residual unused heat (retained by solid hot-plates, ceramic or coil at the end of the test), and losses from convection and radiation by hot surfaces (including the ones of the block itself) are simply disregarded and don't contribute to efficiency. In typical cooking, the energy delivered by the cooker is only partly used to heat the food up to temperature; once that has occurred, all the subsequent energy input is delivered to the air as loss through steam or convection and radiation from the pan sides. Since there is no increase in the food temperature, the DOE test procedure would consider the efficiency substantially zero. Cooking procedures such as reduction of a sauce, braising meat, simmering, and so on are significant uses of a cooker, but efficiency of these practices is not modelled by the DOE test procedure. In 2013 and 2014 DOE developed and proposed new test procedures for cooking products to allow direct comparison of energy transfer efficiency measurements among induction, electric resistance, and gas cooking tops and ranges. The procedures use a new hybrid test block made of aluminum and stainless steel, so it is suitable for tests on induction cookers. The proposed rule lists results of real lab tests conducted with the hybrid block. For comparable (large) cooking elements the following efficiencies were measured with ±0.5% repeatability: 70.7% - 73.6% for induction, 71.9% for electric coil, 43.9% for gas. Summarizing the results of several tests, DOE affirms that "induction units have an average efficiency of 72.2%, not significantly higher than the 69.9% efficiency of smooth—electric resistance units, or the 71.2% of electric coil units". [6] Moreover, DOE reminds that the 84% induction efficiency, cited in previous Technical Support Documents, was not measured by DOE laboratories but just "referenced from an external test study" performed in 1992. [6]In addition independent tests conducted by manufacturers, [7] research laboratories [8] and other subjects seem to demonstrate that actual induction cooking efficiencies stays usually between 74% and 77% and reach occasionally 81% (although these tests could follow procedures different from that of DOE). These clues indicate that the 84% induction average efficiency reference value should be taken with caution. Just for comparison and in agreement with DOE findings, cooking with gas has an average energy efficiency of about 40%. It can be raised only by using special pots with fins whose first design and commercialization came years ago, [9] but that have been recently rediscovered, redesigned in a different way and put again on the market. [10] So for environmental considerations dealing with induction versus gas, a 40% gas efficiency will be used. When comparing with gas, the relative cost of electrical and gas energy, and the efficiency of the process by which electricity is generated, affect both overall environmental efficiency [11] (as explained in more detail below) and cost to the user. Ventilation [ edit]Energy lost from gas cooking heats the kitchen, whereas with induction cooking, the losses are much lower. This results in less heating of the kitchen itself and can affect the amount of ventilation required. Gas cooking efficiencies may be lower if waste heat generation is taken into account. Especially in restaurants, gas cooking can significantly increase the ambient temperature in localized areas. Not only may extra cooling be required, but zoned venting may be needed to adequately condition hot areas without overcooling other areas. Costs must be considered on an individual situation due to numerous variables in temperature differences, facility layout or openness, and heat generation schedule. Induction cooking using grid electricity may surpass gas efficiencies when waste heat and air comfort are quantified. In a commercial setting, induction cookers do not require interlocks between the fuel source and the ventilation, as may be required with gas systems. Design [ edit]Inside view of an induction cooker: the large copper coil forms the magnetic field, a cooling fan is visible below it, and power supply and line filter surround the coil. In the centre of the coil is a temperature sensor, covered in white thermal grease. Side view of an induction stove An induction cooker transfers electrical energy by induction from a coil of wire into a metal vessel that must be ferromagnetic. The coil is mounted under the cooking surface, and a high frequency (e.g. 24 k Hz) alternating current is passed through it. The current in the coil creates a dynamic magnetic field. When an electrically conductive pot is brought close to the cooking surface, and the pan is thicker than the skin depth, the magnetic field induces large eddy currents in the pot. The eddy currents flow through the electrical resistance of the pot to produce heat through Joule heating; the pot then in turn heats its contents by heat conduction. The cooking vessel typically needs to be made of a suitable stainless steel or iron. The increased magnetic permeability of the material decreases the skin depth, concentrating the current near the surface of the metal, and so the electrical resistance will be further increased. Some energy will be dissipated wastefully by the current flowing through the resistance of the coil. To reduce the skin effect and consequent heat generation in the coil, it is made from litz wire, which is a bundle of many smaller insulated wires in parallel. The coil has many turns, while the bottom of the pot effectively forms a single shorted turn. This forms a transformer that steps down the voltage and steps up the current. The resistance of the pot, as viewed from the primary coil, appears larger. In turn, most of the energy becomes heat in the high-resistance steel, while the driving coil stays cool. Often a thermostat is present to measure the temperature of the pan. This helps prevent the pan from severely overheating if accidentally heated empty or boiled dry, but also can allow the induction cooker to maintain a target temperature. Applications [ edit]Induction equipment may be a built-in surface, part of a range, or a standalone surface unit. Built-in and rangetop units typically have multiple elements, the equivalent of separate burners on a gas-fueled range. Stand-alone induction modules are usually single-element, or sometimes have dual elements. All such elements share a basic design: an electromagnet sealed beneath a heat-resisting glass-ceramic sheet that is easily cleaned. The pot is placed on the ceramic glass surface and begins to heat up, along with its contents. In Japan, some models of rice cookers are powered by induction. In Hong Kong, power companies list a number of models. [12] Asian manufacturers have taken the lead in producing inexpensive single-induction-zone surfaces; efficient, low-waste-heat units are advantageous in densely populated cities with little living space per family, as many Asian cities are. Induction cookers are less frequently used in other parts of the world. Induction ranges may be applicable in commercial restaurant kitchens. Electric cooking avoids the cost of natural gas piping and in some jurisdictions may allow simpler ventilation and fire suppression equipment to be installed. [13] Drawbacks for commercial use include possible breakages of the glass cook-top, higher initial cost and the requirement for magnetic cookware. Controls [ edit]The ferromagnetic properties of a steel vessel concentrate the induced current in a thin layer near its surface, which results in a strong heating effect. In paramagnetic materials like aluminum, the magnetic field penetrates deeper, and the induced current encounters little resistance in the metal. [14] According to Lenz's law the efficiency of the induction in the pot may be sensed, so that the induction may be attained accordingly with special electronics devices. At least one high-frequency "all-metal" cooker is available, that works with lower efficiency on non-ferromagnetic metal cookware. The cooking surface is made of a glass-ceramic material which is a poor heat conductor, so only a little heat is lost through the bottom of the pot. In normal operation the cooking surface stays significantly cooler than with other stove cooking methods, but still needs to cool down before it can be safely touched. Units may have one, two, three, four or five induction zones, but four (normally in a 30-inch-wide unit) is the most common in the US and Europe. Two coils are most common in Hong Kong and three are most common in Japan. Some have touch-sensitive controls. Some induction stoves have a memory setting, one per element, to control the time that heat is applied. At least one manufacturer makes a "zoneless" induction cooking surface with multiple induction coils. This allows up to five utensils to be used at once anywhere on the cooking surface, not just on pre-defined zones. [15]Small stand-alone portable induction cookers are relatively inexpensive, priced from around US$20 in some markets. Cookware [ edit]Cookware may carry a symbol that identifies it as compatible with an induction cooktop. Cookware must be compatible with induction heating; in most models, only ferrous metal can be heated. Cookware will have a flat bottom since the magnetic field drops rapidly with distance from the surface. (Special and costly wok-shaped tops are available for use with round-bottom woks .) Induction disks are metal plates that are heated by induction and heat non-ferrous pots by thermal contact, but these are much less efficient than ferrous cooking vessels. Induction compatible cookware for an induction cooking surface can nearly always be used on other stoves. Some cookware or packaging is marked with symbols to indicate compatibility with induction, gas, or electric heat. Induction cooking surfaces work well with any pans with a high ferrous metal content at the base. Cast iron pans and any black metal or iron pans will work on an induction cooking surface. Stainless steel pans will work on an induction cooking surface if the base of the pan is a magnetic grade of stainless steel. If a magnet sticks well to the sole of the pan, it will work on an induction cooking surface. An "all-metal" cooker will work with non-ferrous cookware, but available models are limited. Aluminum or copper alone does not work on an induction stove because of the materials’ magnetic and electrical properties. [16] Aluminum and copper cookware are more conductive than steel, but the skin depth in these materials is larger since they are non-magnetic. The current flows in a thicker layer in the metal, encounters less resistance and so produces less heat. The induction cooker will not work efficiently with such pots. However, aluminum and copper are desirable in cookware, since they conduct heat better. Because of this 'tri-ply' pans often have an induction-compatible skin of stainless steel containing a layer of thermally conductive aluminum. For frying, a pan with a base that is a good heat conductor is needed to spread the heat quickly and evenly. The sole of the pan will be either a steel plate pressed into the aluminum, or a layer of stainless steel over the aluminum. The high thermal conductivity of aluminum pans makes the temperature more uniform across the pan. Stainless frying pans with an aluminum base will not have the same temperature at their sides as an aluminum sided pan will have. Cast iron frying pans work well with induction cooking surfaces but the material is not as good a thermal conductor as aluminum. When boiling water, the circulating water spreads the heat and prevents hot spots. For products such as sauces, it is important that at least the base of the pan incorporates a good heat conducting material to spread the heat evenly. For delicate products such as thick sauces, a pan with aluminum throughout is better, since the heat flows up the sides through the aluminum, allowing the cook to heat the sauce rapidly but evenly. Household foil is much thinner than the skin depth in aluminum at the frequencies used by an induction cooker. Here the foil has melted where it was exposed to the air after steam formed under it. Cooking surface manufacturers prohibit the use of aluminum foil in contact with an induction cooking surface. The heat that can be produced in a pot is a function of the surface resistance. A higher surface resistance produces more heat for similar currents. This is a “figure of merit” that can be used to rank the suitability of a material for induction heating. The surface resistance in a thick metal conductor is proportional to the resistivity divided by the skin depth. Where the thickness is less than the skin depth, the actual thickness can be used to calculate surface resistance. [16] Some common materials are listed in this table. Skin depth at 24 k Hz [16]Material Resistivity (10 −6 ohm-inches) Relative permeability Skin depth, inches (mm) Surface resistance, 10 −3 ohms/square (thick material) Surface resistance, relative to copper Carbon steel 1010 9 200 0.004 (0.10) 2.25 56.25Stainless steel 432 24.5 200 0.007 (0.18) 3.5 87.5Stainless steel 304 29 1 0.112 (2.8) 0.26 6.5Aluminum 1.12 1 0.022 (0.56) 0.051 1.28Copper 0.68 1 0.017 (0.43) 0.04 1To get the same surface resistance as with carbon steel would require the metal to be thinner than is practical for a cooking vessel; at 24 k Hz a copper vessel bottom would need to be 1/56th the skin depth of carbon steel. Since the skin depth is inversely proportional to the square root of the frequency, this suggests that much higher frequencies (say, several megahertz) would be required to obtain equivalent heating in a copper pot as in an iron pot at 24 k Hz. Such high frequencies are not feasible with inexpensive power semiconductors; in 1973 the silicon-controlled rectifiers used were limited to no more than 40 k Hz. [16] Even a thin layer of copper on the bottom of a steel cooking vessel will shield the steel from the magnetic field and make it unusable for an induction top. [16] Some additional heat is created by hysteresis losses in the pot due to its ferromagnetic nature, but this creates less than ten percent of the total heat generated. [17]"All-metal" models [ edit]New types of power semiconductors and low-loss coil designs have made an all-metal cooker possible, but the electronic components are relatively bulky. Panasonic Corporation in 2009 developed a consumer induction cooker that uses a higher-frequency magnetic field, and a different oscillator circuit design, to allow use with non-ferrous metals. [18] [19]History [ edit]An early induction cooker patent from 1909 illustrates the principle. The coil of wire S induces a magnetic field in the magnetic core M. The magnetic field passes through the bottom of the pot A, inducing eddy currents within it. Unlike this concept, a modern cooking surface uses electronically generated high-frequency current First patents date from the early 1900s. [20] Demonstration stoves were shown by the Frigidaire division of General Motors in the mid-1950s [21] on a touring GM showcase in North America. The induction cooker was shown heating a pot of water with a newspaper placed between the stove and the pot, to demonstrate the convenience and safety. This unit, however, was never put into production. Modern implementation in the USA dates from the early 1970s, with work done at the Research & Development Center of Westinghouse Electric Corporation at Churchill Borough, near Pittsburgh, [16] That work was first put on public display at the 1971 National Association of Home Builders convention in Houston, Texas, as part of the Westinghouse Consumer Products Division display. [ citation needed] The stand-alone single-burner range was named the Cool Top Induction Range. It used paralleled Delco Electronics transistors developed for automotive electronic ignition systems to drive the 25 k Hz current. The Westinghouse Electric CT-2; the first production induction range from 1973Westinghouse decided to make a few hundred production units to develop the market. Those were named Cool Top 2 (CT2) Induction ranges. The development work was done at the same R&D location, by a team led by Bill Moreland and Terry Malarkey. The ranges were priced at $1,500 ($8,260 in 2017 dollars), including a set of high quality cookware made of Quadraply, a laminate of stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum and another layer of stainless steel (outside to inside). Production took place in 1973 through to 1975 and stopped, coincidentally, with the sale of Westinghouse Consumer Products Division to White Consolidated Industries Inc. CT2 had four burners of about 1,600 watts each, measured by calorimetry. The range top was a Pyroceram ceramic sheet surrounded by a stainless-steel bezel, upon which four magnetic sliders adjusted four corresponding potentiometers set below. That design, using no through-holes, made the range proof against spills. The electronics section was made in four identical modules which were cooled by a single quiet, low-speed, high-torque fan. In each of the electronics modules, the 240V, 60 Hz domestic line power was converted to between 20V to 200V of continuously variable DC by a phase-controlled rectifier. That DC power was in turn converted to 27 k Hz 30 A (peak) AC by two arrays of six paralleled Motorola automotive-ignition transistors in a half-bridge configuration driving a series-resonant LC oscillator, of which the inductor component was the induction-heating coil and its load, the cooking pan. The circuit design, largely by Ray Mackenzie, [22] successfully dealt with certain bothersome overload problems. Control electronics included functions such as protection against over-heated cook-pans and overloads. Provision was made to reduce radiated electrical and magnetic fields. [23] [24] There was also magnetic pan detection. [25]CT2 was UL Listed and received Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approval, both firsts. Numerous patents were also issued. CT2 won several awards, including Industrial Research Magazine's IR-100 1972 best-product award [26] and a citation from the United States Steel Association. Raymond Baxter demonstrated the CT2 on the BBC series Tomorrow's World. He showed how the CT2 could cook through a slab of ice. Sears Kenmore sold a free-standing oven/stove with four induction-cooking surfaces in the mid-1980s (Model Number 103.9647910). The unit also featured a self-cleaning oven, solid-state kitchen timer and capacitive-touch control buttons (advanced for its time). The units were more expensive than standard cooking surfaces. In 2009 Panasonic developed an all-metal induction cooker that used a different [ clarification needed] coil design and a higher [ clarification needed] operating frequency to allow operation with non-ferrous metal cookware. [ citation needed] However, the units operate with somewhat reduced coupling efficiency and so have reduced power compared to operation with ferrous cookware. Vendors [ edit]The market for induction stoves is dominated by German manufacturers, such as Bosch, Fissler, Miele, Siemens and ELAG. The Spanish company Fagor, The Turkish Company Beko, Italian firm Smeg, Sweden's Electrolux (also using the brand AEG ), French ARPA and Slovenia's Gorenje are also key players in the European market. Prices range from about £250 to £1,000 within the United Kingdom. [ citation needed] In 2006, Stoves launched the UK's first domestic induction range cooker at a slightly lower cost than those imported. Single ring portable hobs have become popular in the UK, with prices as low as £30 from discounters such as Aldi. [ citation needed]The European induction cooking market for hotels, restaurants and other caterers is primarily satisfied by smaller specialist commercial induction catering equipment manufacturers such as Adventys of France, Induced Energy of Brackley in the UK, Control Induction and Target Catering Equipment of the UK and Scholl of Germany. Taiwanese and Japanese electronics companies are the dominant players in induction cooking for East Asia. After aggressive promotions by utilities in HK like CLP Power HK Ltd, many local brands like UNIVERSAL, ic Mag IC, Zanussi, i Lighting, German Pool also emerged. Their power and ratings are high, more than 2,800 watts. They are multiple zone and capable of performing better than their gas counterpart. The efficiency is as high as 90% and saves a lot of energy and is environmentally friendly. Their use by local Chinese for wok cooking is becoming popular. Some of these companies have also started marketing in the West. However, the product range sold in Western markets is a subset of that in their domestic market; some Japanese electronics manufacturers only sell domestically. In the United States, as of early 2013 there are over five dozen brands of induction-cooking equipment available, including both build-in and countertop residential equipment and commercial-grade equipment. Even restricting to build-in residential-use units, there are over two dozen brands being sold; residential countertop units add another two-dozen-plus brands to the count. The National Association of Home Builders in 2012 estimated that, in the United States, induction cooktops held only 4% of sales, compared to gas and other electric cooktops. [27]In April 2010, The New York Times reported that "In an independent survey last summer by the market research company Mintel of 2,000 Internet users who own appliances, only 5 percent of respondents said they had an induction range or cooktop. . . . Still, 22 percent of the people Mintel surveyed in connection to their study last summer said their next range or cooktop would be induction."

J.C. Penney Set To Close At Troubled Eastland Mall

J. C. Penney Set To Close At Troubled Eastland Mall By Debbie Holmes • Apr 22, 2015Tweet Share Google+ Email J. C. Penney at Eastland Mall will close by mid-May. Debbie Holmes / WOSUAfter years of turmoil, Eastland Mall remains open, but it’s under new ownership after it was auctioned last month. And the mall’s future looks bleak as one of its anchor stores prepares to close. Outside J. C. Penney’s Eastland store, no signs warn it will close. Inside, shoppers see much less merchandise available. Listen Listening...3:59“It’s a bummer. It’s a bummer.”Shopper Viky Bogdans says she was unaware of Penney’s plans. Declining sales have doomed the store. The attached mall attracts fewer shoppers. The former Lazarus Department store remains empty. Some shoppers say they don’t feel comfortable spending money here. Mother of three Lindsey Inyang only came to Eastland to find a bargain at J. C. Penney.“And tell me why you don’t come here, because apparently a lot of people don’t because the store is closing. The customers honestly, the young children that come in, the crowd, the cursing, things like that," said Inyang. Retail consultant Chris Boring says there’s not enough retail business inside of Eastland Mall. Once J. C. Penney closes, Sears and Macy’s will be the anchor stores left at the mall. Several smaller clothing, shoe and jewelry stores also vie for mall shoppers.“I don’t think you’re going to find enough to fill a million square feet of retail space, that’s what Eastland mall has right now, and most of that is vacant once Penney leaves," said Boring. Boring doubts Eastland can survive. He says other options could include offices, commercial, recreation, hospitality or industrial uses.“I think Northland could be a blueprint for what happens at Eastland," said Boring. Boring adds the entire Hamilton Road corridor has suffered since the 1990s when big-box stores located outside of mall areas.“Instead of locating near the malls which at the time were Northland, Westland and Eastland, they formed their own corridors on Brice Road and Sawmill Road and Mill Run. So that’s one thing that happened to Eastland is a lot of the retail traffic went away from south Hamilton Road and went to Brice Road and later on to 256,” said Boring. Owner of Oohs and Aahs Hair Designs near Eastland Mall, Byron Woods says the mall though has been good for his business.“Eastland mall brings people into the community that we would like to serve and that we have an opportunity to advertise to and to market to, so yes they do have a very important part in the other businesses that are around them,” said Woods. Woods’ enterprise now includes a nail and beauty salon four doors down from his main shop. Hair stylist Latisha Griffin trimmed her customer Robbin Evans’ hair as they remembered busier days around Eastland Mall.“My grandmother used to take us there all the time when we were kids. This was like the mall to go to,” said Griffin.“It was wasn’t it? Remember Northland had dried up. And everybody was coming to Eastland. But I used to go to Northland as a kid. But when you came out here it was like a whole different world, like ooh we doing something, you know, yeah,” said Evans. Evans adds while she will miss J. C. Penney she does not like the atmosphere at the mall. Last summer two people were injured in a shooting inside the mall. Retail consultant Chris Boring says there’s a lesson to learn from Eastland’s mistakes.“Being less reactive and being more proactive and anticipating some of these problems down the road. It seems like no one really steps in and takes drastic action that is needed until it’s too late," said Boring. Boring sees more retail locations in Columbus taking a hit as E-commerce siphons off more growth and demand from traditional businesses. City officials commissioned a study 8 years ago on revitalizing Hamilton Road and the Eastland area. Then the recession hit and nothing happened. The mall’s new owners have not revealed future plans for Eastland. Tags: J. C. Penney shoppers Eastland Mall Business & Economy Chris Boring Tweet Share Google+ Email

Languages of North America

Languages of North America From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The languages of North America reflect not only that continent's indigenous peoples, but the European colonization as well. The most widely spoken languages in North America (which includes Central America and the Caribbean islands) are English, Spanish, French, and, especially in the Caribbean, creole languages lexified by them. Contents [ hide ]1 Indigenous languages2 Introduced languages3 See also4 References5 External links Indigenous languages [ edit]Main article: Indigenous languages of the Americas North America is home to a large number of language families and some language isolates. In the Arctic north, the Eskimo–Aleut languages are spoken from Alaska to Greenland. This group includes the Aleut language of the Aleutian Islands, the Yupik languages of Alaska and the Russian Far East, and the Inuit languages of Alaska, Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Greenland. [1]The Na-Dené languages, of which the most numerous and widespread are the Athabaskan languages, include the languages of central and eastern Alaska and northwestern Canada, as well as the Apachean languages of the Southwestern United States. [2] The Algic languages, including the large Algonquian branch, are widespread across Canada and the United States; they include Cree, Anishinaabe (Ojibwe), Mi'kmaq, and Blackfoot. [3] The Iroquoian languages dominate the area around the Saint Lawrence River and the eastern Great Lakes, but also include Cherokee. [4] The Siouan–Catawban languages, including Crow and Sioux, dominate the Great Plains. [5] A large number of small language families are spoken in the Pacific Northwest from British Columbia to California. [6]The Uto-Aztecan languages are found throughout the Western United States, northern and central Mexico, and as far south as El Salvador; they include Hopi, O'odham, and Nahuatl (descended from Aztec ). [7] Other large families in Mexico include the Mayan languages (also spoken in Belize and Guatemala ), [8] the Mixe–Zoque languages, [9] and the Oto-Manguean languages. [10] In the Caribbean, the Arawakan languages were formerly widespread, but are now limited to Garifuna on the Central American mainland; the family is still well represented in South America, however. [11] The Chibchan languages are spoken in Costa Rica and Panama as well as South America. [12]Introduced languages [ edit]The most widely spoken languages in North America are English, Spanish and French, a legacy of colonization of much of the continent by settlers from Europe. English is the predominant language of Canada, the United States, Bermuda, and the Cayman Islands, and is spoken alongside English-based creole languages in Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Grenada, Jamaica, Montserrat, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and the Virgin Islands. [13] It is also the official language of Dominica and Saint Lucia, where the French-based Antillean Creole is also widely spoken. Spanish is the dominant language in Mexico and all of Central America apart from Belize, as well as Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico (where English is spoken as well); it is also widely spoken in the United States. [14]French is the dominant language in Quebec and Saint Pierre and Miquelon, and is spoken in Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Louisiana. It is spoken alongside French-based creole languages in Saint Lucia, Dominica, Guadeloupe, Haiti, Martinique, Saint Barthélemy, and the French side of Saint Martin. [15] French is one of the two official and national languages of Canada. Russian was once widely spoken in Alaska as it was the language of administration, commerce, and the settlers there that often intermarried with the locals (they numbered no more than a thousand), creating a sizable biracial population. The language began to decline after the United States purchased the land from the Russian Empire. Nonetheless, the language, called "Old Russian" by its speakers, is still spoken today in parts of Alaska like Ninilchik and Kodiak by descendants of Russian colonists and Russified Alaskan Natives and is known for its archaic Russian vocabulary and indigenous influences, though the vast majority of speakers are elderly, so that this unique Russian dialect is heavily endangered. [16] In addition, a Russian creole/mixed language known as Medny Aleut language was once spoken in some of the Aleutian Islands. Only a few elderly people still speak it. There has also been sizable recent immigration from Russia in the past few decades, leading to a new generation of Russian-speaking Alaskans. Though no German state played a major role in the European colonization of the Americas, German people did found their own colonies. Pennsylvania German, Hutterite German, Texas German, all of which developed in North America, as well as Plautdietsch are spoken by descendants of these settlers in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Other introduced languages include Danish in Greenland, [17] where it is spoken by nearly everyone (mostly as a second language) due to centuries of colonization by Denmark. Danish was once the language of administration of the US Virgin Islands before the purchase by the United States. Dutch in Aruba and the Netherlands Antilles, where it is spoken alongside the Portuguese Creole language in Papiamento. [18] In modern times North America has immigrant speakers of a large number of languages from around the world. For details see Languages of Canada, Languages of the United States, and Languages of Mexico. Some historic languages include Gholan Language and Quechua. Caribbean Hindustani is spoken by Indo-Caribbeans in islands in the Caribbean like Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Jamaica, and Suriname where a majority of the Indians are North Indian. Tamil and Telegu are spoken as the lingua franca of Indians in islands like Martinique and Guadeloupe, where the majority of Indians are Dravidians (South Indians). Bengali, Kashmiri, Gujarati, Konkani, Marathi, Punjabi, Sindhi, Malayalam, Kannada, and other Indian languages are also spoken. Indians were brought to the Caribbean from South Asia during the mid 19th century to the early 20th century to work on the sugar cane, cocoa bean, rice, and coffee bean plantations after slavery was abolished. Recent immigration from India to Canada and the United States has increased the prevalence of Indian languages in those countries, with Punjabi being the third most-spoken language in Canada.

Coldest Temperature Ever Recorded on Earth

Coldest Temperature Ever Recorded on Earthby Liz Osborn Current Results.com The coldest temperature ever recorded on earth is -89.2 degrees Celsius (-128.5 degrees Fahrenheit) at Vostok, Antarctica on July 21, 1983. That all-time low broke the previous world-record minimum of -88.3 °C (-126.9 °F), set on August 24, 1960, also at Vostok. Vostok is a Russian research station located high in the middle of the East Antarctic ice sheet, about 1,300 kilometres from the geographic South Pole. This is a place where the sun doesn't rise during winter. Besides being extremely far south, the station's high elevation, at 3,420 metres (11,220 feet), helps it get really cold. The conditions that caused the temperature to drop exceptionally low at Vostok in July 1983 were clear skies accompanied by calm air. Vertical mixing of the air was minimal and no wind had stirred for some time. Vostok is not an outlier in the Antarctic temperature regime. On July 20th, 1968, the temperature at another high elevation research base, called Plateau Station, sank to -86.2 °C (-123.1 °F). In Search of Even Lower Temperatures The Vostok temperature is the lowest recorded in the world since official record keeping began in 1912. Quite likely, temperatures somewhere on earth have dropped even lower, but there was simply no equipment around at the time to take proper measurements. After all, not many people hang out in the harshest environments on earth. But scientists recently set a weather station up where they believe the temperature gets even colder than at Vostok. In general, a combination of the right weather and local geography produces severe cold. The most frigid weather requires no sun, clear skies and calm air. Geographically, the coldest temperatures happen near the poles and away from oceans. The eastern Antarctic plateau, east-central Siberia and the central Greenland ice cap all offer these conditions. It also gets colder at higher elevations. So a few years ago scientists in the eastern Antarctic climbed upwards in search of a temperature that will break the current record minimum. Dome Argus, more commonly called Dome A, is a peak on the East Antarctic ice cap. Although the highest point on the continent, the Dome is a subtle summit in the midst of a massive and rather flat looking icefield. Yet Dome A does lie 664 metres (2,178 feet) above Vostok, high enough to become measurably colder. Plus Dome A gets the calm air and clear skies so conducive to extreme cold snaps. In 2005, Chinese and Australian scientists set up an automatic weather station at Dome A to measure daily temperatures. During the first five years of operation, the coldest temperature recorded there was -82.5 °C (-116.5 °F) in July 2005, not low enough yet to set a new record. Remote sensing by NASA satellites from 2003 to 2013 measured surface temperatures in the vicinity of Dome A that were even lower than the Vostok record. The lowest one, found on August 10, 2010 was -93.2 °C (-135.8 °F). Another reading, almost as cold, (-93.0 °C or -135.3 °F) was made on July 13, 2013. The temperatures were found in small hollows on the icy landscape where cold air collects. When announcing these extreme temperatures the USA's National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) claimed the August 2010 low as a new world record. The record is not recognized though by the World Meteorological Organization's World Weather and Climate Extremes Archive, an international committee that verifies weather extremes. They do not consider temperatures measured by remote sensing as official records. So the Vostok record, which was made using standard equipment and methods, still stands as the official coldest temperature on earth. Coldest Temperature Measured in the North Outside of the Antarctic, Russia serves up the coldest temperatures in the world. Temperatures as low as -67.7 °C (-90 °F) were measured at Verkhoyansk, Russia on two days, February 5 and 7, 1892 and again at Oymyakon, Russia on February 6, 1933. Both places lie in a remote part of eastern Siberia at around 107 metres (350 feet) elevation. Unofficial reports from the area claim that even lower temperatures, down to -77.8 °C (-108 °F) have been reached. What's particularly striking about Verkhoyansk and Oymyakon is that unlike other places with the world's lowest temperatures, these are not modern research stations visited mainly by scientists. Verkhoyansk and Oymyakon are centuries-old towns with several hundred permanent residents. Coldest Temperature in the West On the other side of the world, in the western hemisphere, the lowest temperatures have been found in Greenland. At Northice, a research station established by the British North Greenland Expedition on the ice cap, scientists documented a minimum temperature of -66.1 °C (-87 °F) on January 9, 1954. In just two winters of record keeping, from 1952 to 1954, the temperature at Northice dropped below -59.4 °C (-75 °F) on 16 days. The coldest temperatures officially recorded on earth.

Boomtown: DC Region Has Nation's Highest Median Household Income

Boomtown: DC Region Has Nation's Highest Median Household Incomeby Tony Lee 19 Sep 2014 98The Washington, D. C. region is the nation’s Boomtown, and it is not even close. According to new Census figures released on Thursday, the Washington, D. C. area has the highest median household income at around $90,000. The San Francisco region is next at around $80,000. The Boston area is third at around $72,000. As Breitbart News has extensively documented, eight of the 13 wealthiest counties in the nation are in the D. C. area, and the region’s economic boom has “directly coincided with the massive expansion of the federal government and national security state” in the last decade. As the Washington Post noted, Washington, D. C. “also has a staggering average per capita income of $74,733 for each of its 632,323 residents, which is 79% higher than the national average of $43,725.”advertisement Read More Stories About: Big Government

Are You a Maximizer or a Simplifier?

Are You a Maximizer or a Simplifier? April, 2008 0 Comments I feel there are two main strategies to get more from life: maximizing and simplifying. Although you can do both, it seems that most people tend to pick on strategy or the other. Both of these strategies work, but I think they produce different outlooks on the same challenges. Maximizers tend to solve problems by adding more. The assumption for a maximizer is that life will trend towards boredom and meaningless tasks if you leave it to chance. As a result, maximizers will improve the quality of their time by squeezing out the boring and unimportant. Add more highly important and interesting activities and the waste will be forced out of your system. Simplifiers tend to solve problems by using less. The assumption for a simplifier is that life will trend towards busyness and overload if you leave it to chance. As a result, simplifiers will improve the quality of their time by eliminating and reducing. If you cut out the fat, you’ll have to focus on the important and interesting. Which Type of Person Are You? I think it should be obvious to people who read this blog which category I fall into. I’m definitely a maximizer. I’m always adding on new projects and activities. My passion for productivity developed as a by-product of chronically taking on more. The difference in strategy is like being right or left-handed. I don’t feel any direction is better, because they both arrive at the same destination. Whether you simplify or maximize, you’re still spending more time on the important and interesting parts of life. And while some people are ambidextrous, most have a dominant approach. Pitfalls to Avoid if You’re a Maximizer While the end result of both strategies is the same, the in-between phases can create different by-products. Maximizers, if they mismanage their time, can wind up burning themselves out. Taking on too many activities and interests at the same time can overload you if you aren’t careful. Maximizing can also lead to disorganization. Because the reduction step comes afterwards, you might not be able to create productivity systems in advance. As a result, organization skills are critical. If you combine a maximizer with a goal-setter, then your life can become skewed. A maximizing approach focused on one area of life can unintentionally squeeze out the important, but hard to measure, parts of life. Despite these weaknesses, maximizing still has strengths. Boredom is unlikely because you are always adding new activities. You are also able to act more quickly on new opportunities because your approach is to act first, reduce later. Maximizers may also have an increased tolerance for activity because they occasionally face high workload situations. Pitfalls to Avoid if You’re a Simplifier A simplifier will end up in the same place as a maximizer. Simplifiers, however, focus on reducing areas of life, then adding in more interesting activities later. If you manage it perfectly, you’ll wind up in the same place. But if you can’t, you’ll face different problems than a maximizer. Simplifiers are more likely to face boredom. If you reduce before you add new activities, you may have temporary emptiness while your time needs to be filled. This can lead to workaholism or laziness if you eliminate leisure or work without filling it with something different. A simplifier might have more difficulty acting on new opportunities, because the tendency is to reduce current activities before trying to add new activities. The advantages of a simplifier is that you can have a more relaxed focus to your goals. Instead of facing occasional periods of overload, you can smoothly work towards an objective. Simplifying also helps you stay organized as you can rework productivity systems before adding new aspects to your life. Simplifying also makes it easier to take a whole-life perspective. While a maximizer is more likely to get caught up in current tasks, a simplifier will have a greater ability to slow down and see the big picture. Conclusion One of the reasons I think Leo has had great success with Zen Habits is that most self-improvement comes from a maximizing perspective. Leo is a minority of writers in the field that takes problems from a simplifying angle. Obviously I’m generalizing and reducing reality. Even if your focus is on simplicity, you still end up adding more. And when your focus is on maximizing, you’re forced to eliminate and organize afterwards. But I think it’s interesting to see how these two different perspectives change how you take on challenges in life. Where do you feel you fit between the two strategies?7 Must-Know Strategies To Learn Anything Faster Join 85,000+ readers who receive my newsletter And get this e-book for free!Read This Next Seven Tricks to Stop Forgetfulness Facebook Twitter Email Print

Fact or Fiction â LEDs donât produce heat

Fact or Fiction – LEDs don’t produce heat An often-quoted advantage of LEDs is that they don’t produce heat, and are cool to the touch. Fact or fiction? Published on: May 10, 2005By Tim Whitaker In one sense this is true: LEDs are cool to the touch because they generally don't produce heat in the form of infrared (IR) radiation (unless of course they are IR LEDs). IR radiation heats the enclosures and surroundings of incandescent bulbs and other sources, making them hot to the touch. The absence of IR radiation allows LED fixtures to be positioned in locations where heating from conventional sources would cause a particular problem e.g. illuminating food or textiles. However, crucially, heat is produced within the LED device itself, due to the inefficiency of the semiconductor processes that generate light. The wall-plug efficiency (optical power out divided by electrical power in) of LED packages is typically in the region of 5-40%, meaning that somewhere between 60 and 95% of the input power is lost as heat. Effect of temperature The energy consumed by a 100-watt GLS incandescent bulb produces around 12% heat, 83% IR and only 5% visible light. In contrast, a typical LED might produce15% visible light and 85% heat. Especially with high-power LEDs, it is essential to remove this heat through efficient thermal management. Without good heat sinking, the internal (junction) temperature of the LED rises, and this causes the LED characteristics to change. As the junction temperature of an LED is increased, both the forward voltage and the lumen output decrease (see figure 1). The output wavelength also shifts with a change in junction temperature. A key factor here is that LED performance is measured yb the manufacturers under laboratory conditions, and is usually specified at a junction temperature of 25 °C, even though this is pretty much guaranteed to never occur in real situations. Lifetime Effect of temperature (2)Most significantly, the junction temperature affects the lifetime of the LED. Unlike other light sources, LEDs don’t tend to fail catastrophically (although a small number do, especially if you cook them); instead, the output of the LED decreases over time. Note that this also happens for other light sources. As shown in figure 2, elevated junction temperatures lead to more rapid deterioration. Driving LEDs above their rated peak current causes the junction temperature to rise to levels where permanent damage may occur. What affects junction temperature? The ambient temperature and the drive current both affect the junction temperature of LEDs. Other influences are the nature of the light output, whether it is steady state or pulsed, and the LED wattage per unit area of surface that dissipates heat. Generic LED package The key factor is the thermal path from the LED junction to ambient i.e. the outside of the package (see figure 3). Heat should be conducted away from the LED in an efficient manner, and then removed from the area by convection. This latter process can be passive, involving convection from the outside of the package or from a finned heatsink with a large surface area, while higher-power arrays may require active convection using forced air cooling (i.e. a fan) or water cooling. Optimizing heat transport A key factor is to use materials with a high thermal conductivity to move heat away from the junction as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, some high thermal conductivity materials such as copper are also relatively expensive, and there is a trade-off between cost, performance, footprint, manufacturability and other factors. Heat-spreading materials should be used that have high thermal conductivity both laterally (x and y directions) as well as vertically through the base of the device. Also, it is necessary to optimize the amount of LEDs versus the available surface area. Better heat transfer Each interface produces a resistance to heat transfer, which means the number of interfaces should be reduced, and the thermal resistance between mating surfaces should be minimized. Surfaces are rarely smooth, for example a metal heat sink might have grooves where it has been milled. If two rough surfaces are mated, most of the heat transfer takes place via point contacts, since air is a poor conductor of heat. This problem can be overcome by filling the gap with a soft, thermally conductive material (see figure 4). Calculating thermal resistance The thermal resistance (units: °C/watt) between two points measures the change in temperature difference between those two points for each watt of input power. Or: temperature change = thermal resistance x LED power (where LED power = voltage x current)Clearly, running the LED at a higher current results in a higher temperature change. Also, a low thermal resistance is highly advantageous in keeping temperature change to a minimum. The total thermal resistance (R th) from junction to ambient is the sum of the individual R th values. Referring to figure 3: R th (junction to ambient) = R th (junction to case) + R th (case to ambient)R th (junction to case) should be provided by the LED manufacturer's data sheet. R th (case to ambient) can be calculated by measuring the temperature change from case to ambient. This is generally done using a thermocouple, ideally in a hole drilled in the side of the board directly under the device. Fixture performance With the above information, it should be possible to calculate the junction temperature of the LED under different operating conditions, which in turn should allow the lifetime of the LEDs to be estimated in the fixture in question. It’s imperative that the thermal performance of the entire system is taken in to account. For example, LEDs have been placed into IP-rated fixtures that are used as floodlights. This creates a sealed skin around the LED module, forming an air pocket which prevents efficient thermal transfer to the outside surface. The lack of a radiator is a sign that heat sinking isn't a major consideration in the design – which can lead to significant long-term problems.

Sow 2-3 seeds per pot. Sow seeds ½ inches deep in seed-starting formula Keep the soil moist at 70 degrees FSeedlings emerge in 7-14 days As soon as seedlings emerge, provide plenty of light on a sunny windowsill or grow seedlings 3-4 inches beneath fluorescent plant lights turned on 16 hours per day, off for 8 hours at night. Raise the lights as the plants grow taller. Incandescent bulbs will not work for this process because they will get too hot. Most plants require a dark period to grow, do not leave lights on for 24 hours. Seedlings do not need much fertilizer, feed when they are 3-4 weeks old using a starter solution (half strength of a complete indoor houseplant food) according to manufacturer’s directions. Thin to one plant per pot. Before planting in the garden, seedling plants need to be “hardened off”. Accustom young plants to outdoor conditions by moving them to a sheltered place outside for a week. Be sure to protect them from wind and hot sun at first. If frost threatens at night, cover or bring containers indoors, then take them out again in the morning. This hardening off process toughens the plant’s cell structure and reduces transplant shock and scalding. Sowing Directly in the Garden: Sow in directly in the garden in fertile, warm soil after danger of frost has passed. Cucumber seeds will not germinate in soil colder than 60 degrees. Sow seeds 3 inches apart in groups of 4-6. Cover with 1 inch of fine soil. Space groups 19 to 26 inches apart each way. Keep evenly moist. Seedlings emerge in 7-14 days. Thin to 3 or 4 strongest seedlings in each group when they are 1-2 inches high. How to Grow Keep weeds under control during the growing season. Weeds compete with plants for water, space and nutrients, so control them by either cultivating often or use a mulch to prevent their seeds from germinating. Cucumbers have a shallow root system, mulches help retain soil moisture and maintain even soil temperatures. Keep plants well-watered during the growing season, especially during dry spells. Plants need about 1-2 inches of rain per week during the growing season. Use a rain gauge to check to see if you need to add water. It's best to water with a drip or trickle system that delivers water at low pressure at the soil level. If you water with overhead sprinklers, water early in the day so the foliage has time to dry off before evening, to minimize disease problems. Keep the soil moist but not saturated. As plants grow mulch to control weeds, keep fruits off the ground and conserve moisture Do not move the vines, they are easily injured. Monitor for pests and diseases. Check with your local Cooperative Extension Service for pest controls recommended for your area. When cucumber seeds are direct-sown along a cucumber fence, vines can be trained to grow upright for easy picking and to save space for other plants to grow. Good companion vegetable plants are direct-sown radishes, bush snap beans, and transplants of compact herbs, peppers, eggplants and tomatoes. Attract bee pollinators by planting daisies such as sunflowers, cosmos, zinnias and coneflower, and mints such as bee balm, sage, oregano and lavender. More bees mean more chances flowers will be pollinated and develop into fruits. Harvest & Preserving Like most vegetables, cucumbers are tender and tastiest when harvested young before their seeds are fully developed. Slicing cucumber varieties are generally ready for harvest when about six to eight inches long; pickling cucumber types at three to five inches- both in about 50-60 days from seeding. To avoid damage cut fruit from the vine rather than pull Don't allow the fruits to become overripe on the vine as this signals to the plant that the seed-development process is nearly complete and it will shut down. Keep mature cucumber fruits picked to encourage further production. During hot weather cucumbers grow very fast, you may need to harvest every day. Harvest the cucumber fruits early in the morning before the sun hits them for the best flavor and texture.

How is Body Temperature Affected by Eating?

How is Body Temperature Affected by Eating? Fitday Editor Nutrition Healthy Eating Body temperature varies throughout the day, depending on the outside temperature, your level of activity and what you eat and drink. Temperature can vary due to emotional and psychological reactions, illness and a range of other factors. Here's some more information about your body temperature and what factors affect it. Normal Body Temperature A body temperature of 98.6 degrees F is considered to be normal. Most people have a normal body temperature of between 97.6 and 99.6 degrees F when the temperature is measured orally. Measuring the body temperature rectally often produces a slightly higher reading. Measuring under the armpit may produce a somewhat lower reading. Slight fluctuations in normal body temperature occur throughout the day, depending on a number of factors. Factors that Can Affect Body Temperature There are a wide range of factors that can affect your body temperature. Hot and cold weather can affect your body temperature somewhat, as can illness, physical activity, hot baths, strong emotions and agitated psychological states. Your body temperature will vary normally throughout the day as you pass through your natural circadian rhythms. Smoking, drinking and eating can have significant effects on oral temperature readings. How Eating Affects Body Temperature Eating generally leads to a slight increase in body temperature, as your metabolic rate increases in order to allow the digestion of food. Your temperature may increase by as many as 2 degrees F as the chemical reactions of the digestive process take place within your body. These chemical reactions are what produces the heat that causes a slight augmentation in body temperature. You can use Fitday to track your eating habits and how they affect your body temperature.

Receptor Tyrosine Kinases

Receptor Tyrosine Kinases Regulatory molecules that stimulate cell proliferation are known as growth factors. Certain growth factors also guide the differentiation of cells into specialized cell types. Many growth factors signal via a signal transduction pathway involving receptor tyrosine kinases. Notable examples are: Vascular-endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) This growth factor promotes new blood vessel growth, but is also important for maintenance of endothelial cells in the delicate filtration membrane of the kidney. Neurotrophins Neurotrophins promote the survival and differentiation of neurons. Insulin-like growth factor-1 ( IGF-1) This hormone/paracrine is produced in response to growth hormone, and is responsible for the majority of its growth-promoting effects. The steps involved in signaling are diagrammed in the figure below. The first step is that ligand binding causes receptor dimerization: that is, binding of the ligand brings together two receptors. The receptors, which are tyrosine kinases, can now phosphorylate each other ( receptor autophosphorylation ). The phosphotyrosine on the phosphorylated receptor is a binding site for an adaptor protein that also binds a guanine-nucleotide exchange factor ( GEF protein ). Binding to the phosphorylated receptor recruits these proteins to the membrane. The GEF protein activates Ras, a small monomeric G-binding protein by exchanging GTP for GDP (GTP replaces GDP). Ras is one member of a large family of small monomeric G-proteins. G-proteins act as molecular switches: they are activated when they bind GTP. Ras controls cell proliferation, but other monomeric G-proteins are involved in regulating cell shape changes through effects on the cytoskeleton, or involved in membrane trafficking through exocytosis and endocytosis. Activated Ras turns on the first in a cascade of protein kinases, where each protein kinase phosphorylates and activates another protein kinase. The ultimate result is the phosphorylation of transcription factors that enter the nucleus and alter gene expression, turning on genes involved in growth and cellular differentiation. Ras is inactivated when GTP is hydrolyzed to GDP. Like the alpha subunit of a trimeric G-protein, monomeric G-proteins like Ras are GTPases. However, the rate of GTPase activity of Ras is greatly increased by another protein, the GTPase activating protein or GAP protein (blue-green in figure). Unregulated growth results if there is alteration or over-expression of proteins in this pathway. Mutant genes for proteins in these growth regulatory pathways are called oncogenes , since their abnormal proteins convert normal cells into cancer cells. The term proto-oncogene is used to refer to the normal, unmutated form of the gene. Mutations that activate Ras are present in about a third of all human tumors. One type of cancer-causing mutation results from a defect in the GTPase activity of Ras. Quick Quiz Fill in Answer Correct False Correct Answer1. What occurs directly as a result of ligand binding and receptor dimerization?2. The GEF protein activates Ras by causing ______ to replace ______.3. Which protein helps to inactivate Ras by speeding GTP hydrolysis?4. A gene that codes for a mutant Ras protein that lacks GTPase activity would be called an ____________.5. Name the term for the normal, unmutated Ras gene. (Spelling must be correct)

Ohio Buckeye Aesculus glabra

Ohio Buckeye Zone: 4-7 Growth Rate: Medium Mature Spread: 30' Mature Height: 60' Shape: Rounded Sunlight: Full sun / Part shade; Full shade when mature Soil Type: Moist, well-drained; variable p H; rich and deep Ohio Buckeye, the state tree of Ohio, is found primarily as an understory tree in the western half of Ohio, where the soils are more alkaline in p H. However, it is scattered throughout the eastern half of the state, except in extreme northeastern and extreme southeastern Ohio. Its lightweight wood is used in the production of artificial limbs, and the holding of a "buckeye nut" in one's pocket is considered good luck. A native of the Midwestern and Great Plains states, trees found in the open may reach 60 feet tall by 30 feet wide, but as a native understory it is often half that size. As a member of the Horsechestnut Family, it is related to other Horsechestnuts and Buckeyes, including man-made hybrids between the species. Planting Requirements - Ohio Buckeye prefers moist, well-drained soils of variable p H that are rich and deep, in partially sunny to partially shaded conditions. It adapts to average soils that are occasionally dry, but moderate to heavy leaf scorch will develop by mid summer, especially when sited in full sun. Ohio Buckeye prefers shady conditions in its youth, but grows in full sun to full shade from youth through maturity, and is found in zones 4 to 7. Potential Problems - Ohio Buckeye often suffers from leaf blotch, leaf scorch, and powdery mildew on its foliage, which also plagues the closely related Horsechestnut (but not Yellow Buckeye). As such, Ohio Buckeye should be planted in partially shaded to fully shaded conditions for best foliage health in mid- to late summer. However, it should be planted in partial sun to full sun for best floral and nut production (preferably with supplemental irrigation during summer). Identifying Features - Ohio Buckeye Leaf Ohio Buckeye has opposite, palmately compound leaves that are clean and medium green in spring. Each leaf has five leaflets, and they are a little bit smaller and less wide overall as compared to Yellow Buckeye, with which they may be easily confused. Also, leaflets of Ohio Buckeye are not fused at their bases like those of Horsechestnut. Unfortunately, leaves of Ohio Buckeye become very prone to scorching, discoloration, and foliar diseases by mid-summer, as does Horsechestnut. As a result, Ohio Buckeye and Horsechestnut have a brown, fall-like appearance to their foliaged canopy by mid-summer, and may be nearly defoliated by late summer. A comparison of the size and shape of a leaflet of Ohio Buckeye with Horsechestnut shows obvious differences. Ohio Buckeye (top) is much smaller, elliptical (widest near the center of the leaflet), with a drawn-out and pointed tip. Horsechestnut (bottom) is much larger, obovate (widest near the tip), but with a blunt tip that is almost absent. Flower Ohio Buckeye has showy yellow-green flowers in early spring, emerging just before or with the foliage. Their stamens (pollen-bearing structures) are long and extend far beyond the petals, whereas the similar-looking flowers of Yellow Buckeye have shorter stamens that stay within the petals. Fruit Fruits of Ohio Buckeye usually contain one seed (or nut) enclosed in a slightly spiny, golden-brown husk. Fruits may occur singly or in clusters, enlarging and becoming more obvious by mid- to late summer Bud The dormant buds of Ohio Buckeye resemble those of Yellow Buckeye, but upon close inspection they have overlapping scales that flare slightly at their edges, a very subtle trait that is hard to determine in many cases. However, they in no way come close to the size, shinyness, and stickyness of the winter buds of Horsechestnut. Bark The bark of Ohio Buckeye is somewhat variable, but becomes broken into subtle flaky ridges with maturity. Its is light gray to light brown, and develops more prominent fissures and long plates with age. However, it tends not to have the rectangular, platy appearance of the bark of Yellow Buckeye or Horsechestnut.

What is a Crystal?

What is a Crystal?by International Gem Society“Crystal 1” by Brenda Clarke. Licensed under CC By 2.0. What comes to mind when you think of crystals? Many people might visualize beautiful, mineral objects with smooth faces in regular geometric patterns. Others might imagine elegant glassware. For gemologists, the scientific definition of a crystal goes right to the atomic level. A crystal is a solid whose atoms are arranged in a “highly ordered” repeating pattern. These patterns are called crystal systems. If a mineral has its atoms arranged in one of them, then that mineral is a crystal. Crystal Systems There are seven crystal systems: isometric, tetragonal, orthorhombic, monoclinic, triclinic, hexagonal, and trigonal. Each is distinguished by the geometric parameters of its unit cell, the arrangement of atoms repeated throughout the solid to form the crystal object we can see and feel. For example, an isometric or cubic crystal has a cube as its unit cell. All its sides are equal in length and all its angles are right angles. Well-known gems in this system include diamonds, garnets, and spinels. The isometric crystal system has three axes of the same length that intersect at 90º angles. On the other hand, a triclinic crystal has all sides of different lengths and none of its angles are right angles. These geometric variations mean triclinic crystals can take on many intricate shapes. Well-known gems in the triclinic system include labradorite and turquoise. None of the axes in the triclinic system intersect at 90º and all are different lengths. Non-Crystalline Solids Some objects may appear to be crystals to the naked eye, but outward appearances can be misleading. For gemologists, the atomic structure of the object is the determining factor. Not all objects with regular geometric faces are crystals, not are all solid materials crystals. Amorphous Solids Glass, for example, has a non-crystalline, amorphous atomic structure. Although glassmakers can pour and harden glass into geometric shapes, its atomic structure remains unchanged. People commonly refer to some glassware, such as this, as crystal. However, scientifically speaking, these objects aren’t crystals. Photo by liz west. Licensed under CC By 2.0. Polycrystalline Solids Water that hardens into a single large snowflake is, in fact, a crystal. It crystallizes as it cools, freezes, and moves through the atmosphere.“Snowflake-23” by Yellowcloud. Licensed under CC By 2.0. However, water that hardens into a cube in your freezer’s ice tray isn’t a crystal. Ice cubes, rocks, and common metals are examples of polycrystalline materials. They may contain many crystalline objects. (In the case of ice cubes, they may contain actual ice crystals). Nevertheless, you can’t describe the entire ice cube as having a uniform crystalline structure.“Frozen Ice Cubes IMG_1021” by Steven Depolo. Licensed under CC By 2.0. Cryptocrystalline or microcrystalline rocks consist of microscopic crystals, but, again, those rocks lack a uniform crystalline structure. Some cryptocrystalline materials, such as chalcedony, find use as gem materials in jewelry or decorative objects. The Origins of Crystals Most crystals have natural origins. They can form through inorganic means, such as geological processes within the earth. Others form through organic processes within living creatures. For example, some human kidney stones consist in part of weddellite crystals. Weddellite occurs at the bottom of the Weddell Sea near Antarctica. It can also be found passing very painfully through urinary tracts. “Surface of a Kidney Stone” by Kempf EK. Licensed under CC By-SA 3.0. Laboratories can also create crystals artificially. For example, cubic zirconia, a synthetic gem material, forms with a cubic crystal structure when zirconium and zirconium dioxide are superheated. The resulting material commonly finds use as a diamond imitation or simulant. Colorless cubic zirconia gems often serve as diamond imitations. However, labs can also synthesize this material in many colors. “Multicolor Cubic Zirconia” by Michelle Jo. Licensed under CC By 3.0.

Anxiety Neurosis Symptoms

Anxiety Neurosis Symptomsby STEWART BRENTLY Aug. 14, 2017Anxiety neurosis is the psychological disorder most commonly referred to as generalized anxiety disorder, or GAD. Sufferers of GAD make up nearly 1/5 of all anxiety diagnoses in adults, or 3.1 percent of the U. S. population. Characterized by excessive, exaggerated worrying or fear about everyday issues such as money, family, work or health, the symptoms of GAD can be overwhelming, at times to the point of being completely debilitating. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Physical Symptoms Physical symptoms of generalized anxiety can be similar to or experienced as an anxiety or panic attack. Specifically, GAD symptoms felt in the body can include headaches and body aches, muscle tension, difficulty swallowing, trembling or twitching, sweating, gastrointestinal discomfort and nausea, diarrhea, feeling lightheaded or dizzy, feeling out of breath, hot flashes, and having to visit the bathroom often. In addition, sufferers of GAD can experiences sleep difficulties or insomnia, restlessness, fatigue or feeling tired for seemingly unknown reasons. Excessive Worrying Behind GAD is worrying that is constant, chronic and unsubstantiated, experienced at a level of severity much more than the anxiety most people have from time to time. Sometimes just getting through the day can cause or increase feelings of anxiety. This tendency to ruminate can last all day, interfering with school, work or family, and causing sufferers to adopt a pessimistic attitude in which they always fear the worst. In addition to worrying about everyday tasks and activities, people with GAD might worry about punctuality, conformity and perfectionism, the latter making them so unsure of themselves that they need to redo tasks in order to meet their perceived level of perfection. Other Psychological Symptoms Aside from the physical symptoms and worrying that define GAD, other symptoms that sufferers can experience include being easily distracted and having a hard time concentrating. When this affects their ability to complete tasks such as work duties or meeting deadlines, it can be a precursor to feeling even more anxious. Operating at a heightened level of anxiety also makes those who suffer from GAD more prone to being on edge, and thus, more easily startled. When combined with fatigue or feeling exhausted from lack of quality sleep, it can increase the tendency to be moody or irritable. Lose Weight.

What is Hilton Honors Elite Status Worth?

Update: Some offers mentioned below are no longer available – Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Card , Hilton Honors Surpass Card from American Express , Hilton Honors Card from American Express Whether you qualified for elite status in 2015 or fell short, the new year presents an opportunity to assess just how much that status means to you, and whether to pursue it again this year. Today, TPG Contributor Nick Ewen evaluates each level of Hilton Honors elite status to help you decide. In the last few weeks of 2014, you probably saw several posts that set out to quantify the value of holding elite airline status. TPG first wrote about the value of American Airlines status, and TPG Senior Points & Miles Correspondent Jason Steele followed up with valuations for Delta, United, and US Airways. As we move into 2015, I wanted to take a similar approach to quantifying the value of elite status with the major hotel chains. To kick off this series I’ll look at the Hilton Honors program, and offer my thoughts as to just how much Hilton Honors elite status is worth. Also see later posts in this series on Marriott and Hyatt. What is Hilton HHonors status worth to you? While this analysis is similar to the airline posts linked above, there are some notable differences. For starters, it’s much easier to switch your loyalty from one hotel chain to another, given the global reach of their various brands. The same cannot be said for airlines, as you might be a hub captive or fly regularly to a city that’s only served by one or two airlines. Another key difference is the level of complexity that many hotel loyalty programs provide. Airline elite status benefits are more consistent; they generally don’t change based on the departure city or arrival city. Hotels are the opposite. You may earn the same number of points when you stay at a Hilton or a Waldorf or a Hampton Inn, but the on-property benefits (and thus the value you get from each night’s stay) can vary widely. For the sake of consistency and simplicity, I’ll be making a number of assumptions as I analyze the value of hotel elite status. For Hilton, I assumed the following: You qualify on stays, but your eligible nights are half way between the stay/night requirements. For example, Silver status usually requires 4 stays or 10 nights, so for this analysis I’ll assume that you hit 4 stays and 7 nights. I’m sure many of you qualify based on both stays and nights, but I wanted to keep the estimates conservative to account for those who frequently stay in hotels for one night. Your average rate per night is $150. This is deliberately conservative, but remember that award nights count toward elite status qualification. Your average paid rate might be higher, but the overall average drops when you factor in the $0 nightly rate for award redemptions. Approximately half of your nights are in higher-end (full service) hotels like Hilton and Doubletree, while the other half are in budget properties like Hampton Inn and Homewood Suites. Again, this is a conservative estimate. Your stay and spending patterns may be quite different, so feel free to adjust these numbers up or down. There’s no single right way to conduct this type of analysis; running the numbers for yourself is an important step in determining whether it’s worth going for the next level. Finally, I rounded valuations to the nearest whole dollar for simplicity. Read on to see what I determined. While it only takes 4 stays or 10 nights, Hilton Honors Silver status includes some useful benefits. Hilton Honors Silver ($66)As the lowest level within the Hilton Honors program, Silver status is granted after just 4 stays or 10 nights. It’s also included as an automatic benefit on the Hilton Honors Card from American Express and the Citi Hilton HHonors Visa Signature Card (see Which Hilton Honors Credit Card is Best for You for more information). Since it’s relatively easy to obtain Silver status, the benefits aren’t very exciting. However, there’s definitely value to be had. For my valuation, I’m assuming 7 nights, with 4 in full-service properties and 3 in discount properties.15% point bonus ($8): As a Silver Hilton Honors member, you will earn an additional 15% point bonus (on the base rate) for every stay. TPG’s most recent valuations of points and miles pegged Hilton points at 0.5 cents apiece, so with 7 nights at $150 apiece, you’re looking at 1,575 points more than a standard member would earn, giving you a value of just under $8.5th night free on awards ($30): While most chains offer a 5th night free when any member redeems points, Hilton actually restricts this to elite status holders. Of course, Silver members don’t earn points as quickly as Gold or Diamond members, so you may not use this as frequently as those with a higher level of status. In addition, the fifth night free could save you just 5,000 points (for a Category 1 redemption), 95,000 points (for a Category 10 redemption during high season), or somewhere in between. I’m assuming that a Silver member would use this benefit once every five years to save 30,000 points (or 6,000 points annually when amortized across the five years). Complimentary access to fitness centers/health clubs ($20): This generally only applies to higher-end, full-service properties, and it may not be something you would pay for anyway. With just 7 nights, I’m assuming that only 1 of those is in a property where you would otherwise be charged. Two bottles of water ($8): This benefit doesn’t apply to Hampton, Homewood, or Home2 Suites properties, so you’d only receive them for the four full-service stays (valued at $1 apiece). As a Gold member, you’ll get complimentary breakfast at most properties (like the Conrad Bangkok). Hilton Honors Gold ($751)Hilton Gold status is typically considered one of the more rewarding mid-level tiers out there, and it’s usually earned after 20 stays, 40 nights, or 75,000 base points ($7,500 in spending). It’s also an automatic benefit for cardholders of the Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Card and Hilton Honors Surpass Card from American Express (again, see this post for more details). For this analysis, I’m assuming 30 nights split evenly between full-service and discount properties. As you’re about to see, the jump from Silver is huge.25% point bonus ($56): When you stay as a Gold member, the bonus points you earn on the base rate jumps to 25%. With 30 nights at a rate of $150/night, that gives you 11,250 additional points, or $56.25.5th night free on awards ($75): As a Gold member, your point balance grows much faster than Silver members, so I’m assuming that you’ll take advantage of this benefit once every two years, again saving 30,000 points in the process (or 15,000 points per year). At 0.5 cents per point, that’s $75 each year. Complimentary access to fitness centers/health clubs ($60): With 30 nights, you will likely stay at a couple more high-end properties where fitness center/health club access is a great benefit compared to Silver members. Two bottles of water ($60): Gold members are able to choose bottled water and/or snacks as a welcome benefit at Hampton, Homewood, and Home2 Suites properties, so the value is a bit more consistent across the 30 nights. Complimentary Wi-Fi ($150): This is one of the big jumps between Silver and Gold, as you can access the internet free of charge at all Hilton Honors properties. This is important, since Hilton remains one of the stingiest brands when it comes to Wi Fi access. While discount brands include this for all guests, Wi Fi for your 15 nights at Hiltons, Conrads, Doubletrees, or Waldorfs could set you back a pretty penny if you had to pay. Generally, paid access at these properties costs at least $10 per day, though you may not need access for every stay, so I kept the nightly value at $10. Room upgrades ($200): This is another big jump from Silver, but is also unpredictable. Gold members are entitled to a space-available upgrade at full-service properties. However, the frequency and value of these upgrades can vary greatly. An Executive Floor room at a Hilton may only be an additional $10 per night, while you could get lucky and score a huge suite that would normally cost $100 more per night. I’m assuming an average “value” of $50 per night with a conservative success rate of 25% (rounded up to 4 nights). Breakfast ($150): A final huge benefit to Gold members is complimentary continental breakfast at full-service properties (excluding many Waldorf-Astoria locations). Again, the value of this can vary hugely, and there may be occasions where you depart too early to take advantage of this benefit. I’ll make a conservative estimate of $10 per night. Once nice perk of Diamond status is guaranteed access to Executive Lounges, like the terrific one at the Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik. Hilton Honors Diamond ($1,324)Hilton’s top-tier status is generally earned after 30 stays, 60 nights, or 120,000 base points ($12,000 in spending). You can also earn automatic Diamond status by spending $40,000 in a calendar year on either the Citi Hilton Reserve or Hilton Honors Surpass Amex. According to the published benefits, there aren’t too many big leaps above Gold status, but you’ll be able to utilize them more frequently. For this analysis, I’m assuming 45 nights, with 23 in full-service properties and 22 in discount locations.50% point bonus ($169): Diamond members enjoy 50% more points (on the base rate) than regular members. For 45 nights at $150 per night, that’s an extra 33,750 Hilton Honors points, or $168.75 in value.48-hour room guarantee ($25): Personally, I have never had to use this benefit, as I have often found that these guaranteed rooms are incredibly pricey. Still, if you must stay at a specific property, this can be a nice added perk.5th night free on awards ($150): Diamond members will likely use this benefit more frequently than Gold and Silver members, so I’m assuming it will happen once a year and save you 30,000 points, or $150. Complimentary access to fitness centers/health clubs ($80): This benefit may pop up an additional time or two for Diamond members (compared to Gold members). Two bottles of water ($90)Complimentary Wi-Fi ($230): Here again I am pegging internet access at $10 per night for the full-service stays. Room upgrades ($300): Ideally, Diamond members enjoy more frequent and/or more luxurious upgrades, but the published policy is the same “space-available upgrade” (and I’ve read reports of Gold members being upgraded before Diamond members due to different arrival times). To be conservative, I’ll keep my same assumption of 25% upgrade success (rounded up to 6 nights) and assign the same $50/night value to these upgraded accommodations. Guaranteed Executive Lounge access ($50): I split this out from the room upgrades because it’s technically a separate benefit. In order to access an Executive Lounge as a Gold member, you must receive an upgrade to a room with included access. However, Diamond members have automatic access even without an upgrade. Breakfast ($230): The same value per night ($10) applies for Diamond members here; the only difference is that you have 23 nights to enjoy it (instead of the 15 nights in full-service locations for Gold members). Bottom line Hilton Honors may have undergone a serious devaluation back in 2013, but it’s still a valuable program with a wide global reach, and I’ve enjoyed my Diamond status with them for the last 7 years. You may value some of these benefits more or less than I do; I encourage you to make your own assessments, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts in the comments below. My biggest recommendation is one that I have repeated several times on this blog: Get a Hilton Honors credit card. I’ll continue to give this advice until they open up the 5th night free option to all Hilton Honors members. It’s the only program that gives you complimentary status just for holding a credit card with no annual fee, and the complimentary Gold status for Citi Hilton Reserve and Hilton Surpass Amex cardholders is well worth the respective annual fees. How much do you value elite status with Hilton Honors?

Open Document Fate can be defined many different ways. Webster's Dictionary defines fate as a power that supposedly predetermines events. Fate is synonymous to the word destiny, which suggests that events are unavoidable and unchangeable. Whatever happens in life is meant to be and cannot be changed by mankind. In Shakespeare's Macbeth, fate plays an important role in the lives of Macbeth, Lady Macbeth and Banquo. "All hail, Macbeth Hail to thee, thane of Glamis! All hail, Macbeth Hail to thee, thane of Cawdor! All hail, Macbeth Hail to thee, thou shall be King hereafter!" (1.3.49) The witches help fate out by giving Macbeth this information. If Macbeth had never known this, he would never have had the idea of becoming thane of Cawdor or king. This is the start to Macbeth's road to success and ultimate demise. It was predetermined by fate that Macbeth would believe the witches' words. When Macbeth does in fact become thane of Cawdor, he then believes fully in the witches and is willing to do anything it takes to become king. This willingness to do whatever is necessary to become the king of Scotland is also what causes Macbeth to commit so many murders, the first of which is Duncan. In order for Macbeth to be king, the current king must die and his successors must be unavailable for the throne. Fate plays a huge hand in the way that Duncan's murder plays out. Duncan's two sons flee so that they will not be suspected of committing a crime that they did not, the murder of their own father. Because they have fled the country, it is Macbeth that is the one who may become king. Fate also plays a role in the death of Macbeth. Because the witches were right about Macbeth's life the first time, he believed them a second time, which led to his death. They told him that he should watch out for Mac Duff, that he could not be harmed by any man who was born of a woman, and that he would reign until Birnam wood came to Dunsinane hill. This gave Macbeth a false sense of security and made him think that no one could ever harm him. However, the weird sisters' twisted words gave fate the chance to cause Macbeth's ruin when an army concealed by the branches of Birnam wood came to Dunsinane hill to bring Macbeth down.

One of the meanings of fate: power that predetermines events. Destiny’s definition suggests that events will occur and do not change. Whatever unravels in life cannot change by mankind. The statement has undivulged meanings; fate has the opportunity to change if the person wants events to end differently. However, wrong decisions will only seal fate.

He is the only one who could kill Macbeth because he was not born by natural birth. The witches also play a role in making Lady Macbeth convince Macbeth to commit the murders. The witches tell Macbeth that he will become thane of Cawdor as well as king of Scotland. When he tells this information to his wife, she begins to plot the murder of Duncan, something that would never have happened without the witches' words. Lady Macbeth herself also plays a role in the fate of Macbeth. She is ultimately the reason that the murder of Duncan is carried out and Macbeth is successfully not blamed for the murder. Macbeth has conflicting feelings about the murder of his friend and king, Duncan, but Lady Macbeth criticizes him, saying that he is not a man unless he goes through with murdering Duncan. Whenever Macbeth starts to show weakness, she is the fateful force that drives him to do the things that are planned out by fate. Even though Lady Macbeth is a figure of fate herself, fate turns on her, causing her to go crazy and kill herself. She begins to feel remorse for what she caused Macbeth to do. She feels that she is ultimately to blame for all of the bad events that were caused by Duncan's murder, which she drove her husband to commit. Because she was destined to do this, she had no control over what happened. However, because she is a human form of fate, she has human feelings of remorse and pity for Duncan and all of the other people whose deaths were caused by this one act of fate. These human feelings are what eventually cause her demise. Fate plays a role in the events in Banquo's life during the play. The witches also had a prophecy for Banquo in the beginning of the play. "Though shalt get kings, though thou be none" (1.3.67). Banquo's sons are destined to be kings, although Banquo will never be king. Later in the play Banquo is murderd by assassins hired by Macbeth. Macbeth hires these murderes because he feels threatened by Banquo and his son, Fleance. Macbeth orders the assassins to murder both of the men so that the treat to him will be gone. However, fate steps in and saves Fleance's life so that the witches' prophecies will be true. If fate had not had a role in this, either Banquo would have lived and caused Macbeth's evil plans to be uncoiled and caused his demise, or Fleance would have died like Macbeth wanted him to and the witches telling of fate would be wrong. These three characters' lives have been predetermined by fate. Everything that happened to them or didn't happen to them was a direct result of fate's plan for them. This is also true in everyday life. There is no such thing as chance and everything happens for a reason. It all comes back to fate. Nothing ever happens by coincidence and the power to chose is an illusion.

Chef Paul Prudhomme K-Paul's Louisiana Kitchen July 13, 1940-October 8, 2015

Chef Paul Prudhomme K-Paul's Louisiana Kitchen July 13, 1940-October 8, 2015Chef Paul Prudhomme K-Paul's Chef Paul Prudhomme was, literally, the man who "started it all." Almost single-handedly he was responsible for launching the Cajun cooking craze that began in the early 1980s and, unlike most fads, this one hasn't abated since then nor does it show any signs of doing so anytime soon. Unlike many of his fellow celebrity chefs, Paul Prudhomme didn’t find it necessary to barnstorm the world to promote his skills and fame. The world came to him. Nor did he go into expansion and franchising. Paul only owned one restaurant, the very modest-looking K-Paul's Louisiana Kitchen in the French Quarter, but that one restaurant alone has kept his name and fame alive for an entire generation. In that one modest facility he revolutionized the language and art of cooking, elevating American cuisine to levels only previously reserved for the haute cuisine of France and other nations of Europe. Chef Paul, as one of 13 children, began his love of cooking in his mother's kitchen in the Cajun Country of south Louisiana. He polished his skills and honed his craft in the kitchen of world-renowned Commander's Palace before launching out on his own. Today, K-Paul's Louisiana Kitchen (named after him and his late wife Kay) is a magnet for culinary connoisseurs from all over the world. His product line of Chef Paul's Magic Seasoning Blends are available everywhere in the United States and in more than 35 foreign countries. Chef Paul was named Restaurateur of the Year in Louisiana and was the first American-born chef to receive the coveted Merité-Agricole of the French Republic. He was named Culinarian of the Year and Culinary Diplomat by the American Culinary Federation. In 1993, the National Restaurant Association honored Chef Paul with both the College of Diplomates Award and the Thad and Alice Eure Ambassador of Hospitality Award. Nation's Restaurant News honored him as a Fine Dining Legend Award winner. He cooked in the White House and for various heads of state, often improving upon their own native cuisines. In 2012, Chef Paul was named one of the Pioneers of American Cuisine by the prestigious Culinary Institute of America. Adding to his honors and credentials, he was featured on every major television network and many other cable channels with widely viewed cooking shows or segments. He was written about and contributed to such prestigious publications as Bon Appetit, Travel + Leisure, National Geographic Traveler, Time, Life, Playboy and many others. His restaurant offers special menus for off-site events anywhere in the United States. And, to top it off, he wrote twelve bestselling cookbooks and produced six cooking videos, two of which were at the top of the Billboard's chart for fifty-three consecutive weeks. Chef Paul Prudhomme passed away in the fall of 2015 and will forever be remembered in New Orleans and around the world for his incredible cuisine, hospitality and spirit. You can buy his Magic Seasoning Blends in most local grocery stores, or through Chef Paul's mail order company (800) 457-2857 and online at www.chefpaul.com.

Paper Chromatography (Papierchromatographie) A solution of the mixture to be separated is "spotted", usually from a micropipet, near one edge of a piece of filter paper, and the solvent is evaporated. Usually several sample and standard spots are placed along the edge. Then the chromatogram is "developed" by immersing that edge of the paper in a solvent that migrates through the paper as the mobile phase. The solvent often has two, three or four components, one of which is usually water. Development is normally done in a chamber that is saturated with solvent vapor. The water from the solvent, in particular, is adsorbed and tightly held on the paper fibers, so the sample components partition between the migrating mobile phase and the tightly-held water. If the bottom edge of the paper is immersed in the solvent, the process is "ascending" chromatography. Alternatively, the upper edge can be immersed in a trough of solvent and hung down for "descending" chromatography. Usually the process is stopped before the solvent front reaches the opposite edge of the paper, and the solvent is evaporated. The ratio of the distance moved by a particular component to the distance moved by the solvent front is the "R f ", or "retardation factor", which is characteristic of that component under the conditions used. After the separation, any strongly colored spots are visible on the "chromatogram". Colorless materials can be visualized by heating the paper in an oven so that substances (but not the paper) char and leave black spots. Sometimes the paper is first sprayed with a solution of sulfuric acid for better charring. Fluorescent materials can be visualized with ultraviolet light. Reagents specific for certain components may be sprayed on to make colored spots. Radioactive spots can be located with a detector, or the chromatogram can be pressed against X-ray film for minutes or hours to expose the film. Sample spots can be tentatively identified if they have the same R f values as known standard spots. Sometimes spots, once located, are cut out so that the material in the spot can be recovered. There are also instruments that (more or less accurately) quantitate the material in the spot by measuring light absorbance. Variant: Circular chromatography: the sample is applied to the center of a circle of filter paper. Then the mobile phase is slowly dripped onto the spot and the chromatogram develops as a circle. Variant: Electrochromatography: as the mobile phase flows downward, an electrical field is applied transversely (electrophoresis) to get a two-dimensional separation of ionized molecules. Variant: Two-dimensional chromatography: One spot is applied near a corner of a sheet of paper, and is developed with one solvent system. Then a second solvent system is applied from another edge so that mixed spots that did not separate with the first system may separate with the second one. These sheets may be as large as 75 cm x 75 cm. Lab reports or procedures will usually specify the solvent mixture (e. g., methyl isobutyl ketone:isopropyl alcohol:ethyl acetate:water:ammonium hydroxide (50:45:35:18:3), the paper used (often Whatman #3) and the means by which the spots are visualized.

Supplemental Content: Living Well with Migraine Disease and Headaches Keep up with Migraine & headache news, tips, tools, and more... View our blog!Basilar-Type Migraine: What Is It? If you've heard of this form of Migraine before, you've probably heard or seen the term Basilar Artery Migraine (BAM). Under the International Headache Society's International Classification of Headache Disorders, 2nd Edition, the new designation for this form of Migraine is Basilar-Type Migraine (BTM). It has also been called Bickerstaff syndrome, brainstem Migraine, and vertebrobasilar Migraine. The term Basilar-Type Migraine is actually a bit misleading as it implies that the Migraine attack is vascular in origin. It was actually termed Basilar because it was first believed to be a result of spasm of the basilar artery and the subsequent ischemia. Since the time when the term Basilar came into use, however, it has been shown that Migraine is a genetic neurological disease, and BTM, as other types of Migraine are neural in origin. As with all Migraine, there is a vascular component once the Migraine begins, but the origin is neurological. Early literature on the subject suggested that BTM was most common in adolescent females. However, continued research and statistical analysis has shown BTM to affect all age groups and both male and female. BTM does exhibit the same female predominance seen overall in Migraine; three times as many female sufferers as male. A Basilar-Type Migraine is a Migraine that has aura symptoms originating from the brainstem and/or affecting both hemispheres of the brain at the same time, but with no motor weakness. The aura of BTM usually lasts less than 60 minutes, but in some cases can be more extended. Many Migraineurs who have BTM also report Migraine with typical aura. The aura of BTM can include temporary blindness, which is one reason they can be quite terrifying. However, BTM is actually essentially Migraine with aura with the aura localized to the brainstem. Still, because of that localization, Migraine-specific medications such as the triptans and ergotamines are contraindicated for BTM. Of the preventive medications, it's recommended that beta blockers be avoided in cases of BTM. Because of the medication contraindications, I highly recommend that Migraineurs who experience BTM wear some kind of medical identification at all times. Diagnosis of BTM requires at least two attacks meeting the following criteria: Aura consisting of at least two of the following fully reversible symptoms, but no motor weakness:dysarthria (impairments or clumsiness in the speaking of words due to diseases that affect the oral, lingual, or pharyngeal muscles)vertigotinnitushypacusia (impaired hearing)diplopia (double vision)visual symptoms simultaneously in both temporal and nasal fields of both eyesataxiadecreased level of consciousnesssimultaneously bilateral paresthesias (abnormal or unpleasant sensation often described as numbness or as a prickly, stinging, or burning feeling)At least one of the following:at least one aura symptom develops gradually over five or more minutes and/or different aura symptoms occur in succession over five or more minuteseach aura symptom lasts five or more and 60 minutes or lessheadache meeting criteria Migraine without aura begins during the aura or follows aura within 60 minutes Migraine experts caution that when there is motor weakness, great care be taken to arrive at the proper diagnosis as there are times when it can be difficult to differentiate between Basilar-Type Migraine and Hemiplegic Migraine. The IHS criteria also note that if motor weakness is present, the disorder should be coded as Familial Hemiplegic or Sporadic Hemiplegic Migraine. Another reason great care must be taken in diagnosis is that many of the symptoms of BTM are also stroke symptoms. Basilar-Type Migraine presents symptoms that can mimic other, far more serious conditions. It is essential that the diagnosis be definitive and correct. An imaging study such as a CT scan or MRI should be performed to rule out other causes for the symptoms, and an EEG is often performed to rule out seizure disorders. If the doctor making the diagnosis is hesitant about it, definitely seek a second opinion from another doctor. Since BTM is not common, seeing a Migraine specialist is advisable when possible. It is also important to continue medical treatment as advised by your doctor and not skip follow-up appointments. Some other conditions that should be ruled out in diagnosing BTM are:seizure disordersspace-occupying lesions of the brainbrainstem Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM): a congenital defect consisting of a tangle of abnormal arteries and veins with no capillaries in between. The blood pressure in the veins is higher than normal and may result in a rupture of the vein and bleeding into the brain.vertebrobasilar diseasestroke As with other forms of Migraine, BTM can be disabling. Because of the neurological symptoms that can occur during Basilar-Type Migraine aura, it can present a larger hurdle than Migraine with aura because the aura itself is debilitating and can last longer. This can mean special problems for people in the traditional work force or trying to care for young children. If they are in an environment where others are not educated about Migraine disease, it is particularly important that efforts be made to educate those around them. Basilar-Type Migraine is one of the most frightening of head pain disorders, but the symptoms are usually more frightening than harmful. However, as with other forms of Migraine, if the pain is extreme, it is best to seek emergency care. BTM does increase the risk of stroke slightly more than Migraine with aura and Migraine without aura, so additional care should be taken. Once diagnosed with BTM, it is important (as with any form of Migraine) to consult your doctor if your symptoms or Migraine pattern change. Without consulting a doctor, it's impossible to be sure that new symptoms or changes in pattern are attributable to BTM, and that no other condition is present. While BTM isn't cause to panic, it is more than reason to be sensible and take good care of yourself. Saper, Joel R., M. D.; Silberstein, Stephen, M. D.; Gordon, C. David, M. D.; Hamel, Robert L., P.

9 best things to do in the Thousand Islands this summer

Thousand Islands9 best things to do in the Thousand Islands this summer Updated March 16, 2016 at 8:24 AM; Posted April 28, 2015 at 11:31 AMComment By Cort Ruddycmruddy14@yahoo.com,Contributing writer The Thousand Islands region truly offers one of the most breathtaking and surreal settings in New York, with islands dotting the lake and the river ranging in size from a few square feet to Canada's Wolfe Island, with its 48 square miles. Some islands remain wild and uninhabited, while others are adorned with Victorian homes and even castles. Along the shores, nestled into nooks and near deep harbors, visitors find quiet villages, like Sackets Harbor and Clayton, as well as lively towns, like Alexandria Bay, all regularly celebrating their enchanted surroundings. Here's just a few of things worth doing this summer in the Thousand Islands.1. Get Out On The Water It all starts with the water in the Thousands Islands, with countless bays and passages, as well as an international shipping channel. To fully grasp the beauty of the place, it's best to get on a boat. Luckily, there's lots of ways to do that including the many boat tour companies, water taxis and personalized cruises. Check out Uncle Sam's Boat Tours and Clayton Island Tours for group excursions, or 1000 Island Water Taxi and Classic Island Cruises for more intimate affairs. Boat tours in the Thousand Islands2. Visit Boldt Castle Once on the water, it's hard not to be drawn to the beauty and mystique of Boldt Castle on Heart Island. It's harder still to forget the romantically tragic story behind it. Hotel magnate George C. Boldt began construction in 1900, meant for his beloved wife Louise. She died suddenly before it was finished, leaving Boldt heartbroken. Construction halted and he never returned. Now owned by the Thousand Islands Bridge Authority, and recently restored, the public can visit the castle via boat tours, water taxis or private watercraft. To be sure, Boldt isn't the only castle in the region. Also check out Singer Castle on Dark Island.5 awe-inspiring castles in Upstate NY3. The Antique Boat Museum To truly get a sense of the region's love affair with the water, and to check out some cool wooden boats, make sure to visit the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton. The museum's galleries include over 300 expertly-maintained and restored boats over 4 acres, with special collections focused on wooden speed boats, canoes and the St. Lawrence Skiff. The museum also hosts the 51st annual Antique Boat Show in the summer.4. Pirate Days in Alex Bay One annual event captures both the island vibe and the irreverent local attitude, and makes for a fun visit for families and others looking for adventure: Bill Johnston's Pirate Days. Held this year August 7-16, the celebration turns the streets and docks of Alexandria Bay into a living tribute to the renegade lifestyle. Performances, parades and even a pirate ship invasion take place during this annual celebration named after infamous local patriot, fugitive and folk-hero buccaneer Bill Johnston.5. Wellesley Island State Park Just across the Thousand Island Bridge awaits one of the largest of the islands, home to small Victorian communities, summer homes and Wellesley Island State Park -- the largest state park around. Visitors can swim, camp, fish or golf. Or they can just hike along the miles of trails and stop in at the Minna Anthony Common Nature Center to learn more about the region's natural history. The park even offers two and three bedroom cottages for rent.6. Tour the Thousand Islands Wineries Another way to get to know the region is by visiting the burgeoning collection of family-owned wineries. First launched in 2007, the Thousand Islands-Seaway Wine Trail connects wineries in Cape Vincent, Clayton, Alexandria Bay and beyond, making it easy for travelers to sample award-winning wines and get to know the region. Thousand Islands-Seaway Wine Trail guide7. Frederic Remington Art Museum If American Art interests you, it's hard to ignore that just 40 minutes northeast of Alexandria Bay, in Ogdensburg, you can find the Frederic Remington Art Museum. Known for his bronze sculptures depicting Wild West images - one of which sits in the Oval Office - Remington also had a passion for painting and a love for the Thousand Islands. Many examples of his bronze work and other art can be found at the museum.8. Charter a Fishing Boat If there's another major activity that makes the region famous it's the fishing. The lake side is known to hold salmon, trout, walleye and lots of bass. Up the river, more bass, northern pike and muskellunge rule. There's no shortage of ways to wet your lines, from park access points to public fishing places. But the best way to do it is with one of the many experienced fishing charters that call the waters home. Bring a New York State fishing license, and you could catch a trophy-sized fish.9. Get under the water A truly unique way to see the Thousand Islands is not on top of the water, but under it. Several local dive shops offer the opportunity for all levels of diver to see what lies below the surface of these amazing islands. With all the shoals and ships that have struggled to navigate them over the centuries, there's a lot to be seen. Launch a underwater excursion with one of these local shops: Blue Foot Diving, Hunts Dive Shop, Thousand Island Dive Excursions, and All About Scuba.7 best campgrounds in the Thousand Islands View Comments

Kardashian Net Worth: Fame, Fortune and Family

Kardashian Net Worth: Fame, Fortune and Family Tom Gerencer Nov 2, 2016The Kardashian net worth total for the entire famous family is $339.4 million. That’s not a bad fortune for a clan who launched to riches from a sex tape. The biggest net worth of the bunch comes from successful sister Kim with $148.5 million. Next is husband Kanye West with $66.8 million, though he recently stated he’s in debt up to his eyeballs. Kendall Jenner comes in third with a net worth of $31 million. Fourth is Khloe Kardashian with a net worth of $23.6 million and fifth is Kourtney Kardashian with a net worth of $20.4 million. Next come Kris Jenner ($20 million) Caitlyn Jenner ($17.8 million) Kylie Jenner ($9.9 million) and the Rob Kardashian net worth figure of $1.2 million. See the net worth details for each member of the Kardashian bunch below. For more data, click through to our articles on each family member. Numbers are current as of 12/8/16. Kim Kardashian Net Worth: $148,543,904The Kim Kardashian net worth total of $148.5 million got its start when a sex tape was released online without Kim’s permission. A lawsuit over the release won her an estimated $5 million, but it also threw her into the public eye. Most people in that position would shrink in shame, but Kardashian turned the tables on the embarrassing situation, turning it into a multi-million dollar TV and merchandise industry. Kim launched Keeping up with The Kardashians in 2007 and it has since produced an impressive 149 episodes. Kim splits the proceeds for that show with sisters Kourtney and Khloe. She has also released several successful fragrances and other merchandise, and signed a string of major endorsement deals. She has nearly 47 million Twitter followers and can reach nearly half a Super Bowl audience with a single tweet. The burglary of $10 million in jewels won’t hurt Kim’s net worth since the jewels were insured. Kim is reportedly suing an online magazine for claiming she faked the theft. Ready Vegas? This Friday I’m back hosting at @Hakkasan LV inside the @MGMGrand! Tickets: https://t.co/rx C1SE92rz pic.twitter.com/M7XVuh8f FB— Kim Kardashian West (@Kim Kardashian) July 19, 2016Kanye West Net Worth: $66,845,713#2 on our Kardashian net worth list is Kim Kardashian’s husband Kanye West. Kanye West has a net worth of $66.8 million. West has earned an estimated $25.6 million from album sales, $16.7 million from sales of singles and $104.8 million from concert earnings. Endorsement deals and You Tube earnings add another $61 million, though taxes, expenses and investments make deep adjustments to these figures. West’s first album was The College Dropout in 2004. It sold an impressive four million copies. Since then, West has released a grand total of eight studio albums, selling 21 million copies. He has sold nearly 100 million copies of singles in that time, including about two thirds of those as lead singer. His Vevo channel has 1.7 billion views and he has signed endorsement deals with Adidas, Pepsi, Boost Mobile and Nike. Kendall Jenner Net Worth: $31,011,501Third on our Kardashian net worth list is a bit of a surprise: Kendall Jenner is worth $31 million. It seems like Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian ought to have more money than young half sister Kendall. After all, the two Kardashian sisters split the money for their major TV show with sister Kim. But where Kim Kardashian is a master at merchandise and endorsement deals, Khloe and Kourtney don’t quite reach her level. Using Twitter as a measure of fame, Kim Kardashian has 47 million followers, Kourtney has 20 million and Khloe has 21 million. Kendall Jenner has a comparable Twitter following to her two youngest sisters with 18 million, but she monetizes her fame more like sister Kim. Even though her career only started in 2011, she has already done an impressive job with it, amassing $14 million in modeling earnings and $900,000 from TV. Her real money though comes from $37 million in social marketing and $18 million in merchandise. After taxes and expenses that gives her a total net worth of $31 million.

SHRUB LAYERSHRUBS LIKE RHODOENDRONS, AZALEAS,MOUNTAIN LAURELS,AND HUCKLE BERRIES live in the Deciduous Forest..soilthe soil in the deciduous forest is quite fertile since it is often enriched with falling leaves, twigs, logs, and dead organisms.fall colors!In the fall the number of hours of daylight decreases which causes some plants and trees (called deciduous) to stop producing chlorophyll, a green pigment that converts sunlight into chemical energy and eventually they will lose their leaves. During this time these leaves turn to bright colors ranging from red to orange to yellow to brown.herb layer The Herb layers are basically short plants. "Deciduous" means to fall off, or shed, seasonally. Just as the name implies, these deciduous trees shed their leaves each fall. Lying on the forest floor, the leaves decay. As the leaves decompose, the nutrients contained in the leaves are absorbed by the soil. For this reason, the soils of this biome tend to be very fertile. Because this biome has fertile soil and a long, 5 to 6 month, growing season, many deciduous forests have been converted into agricultural regions.ground layer Lynches club mosses and true mosses. Ground Layer - You can find lichens and mosses Herb Layer - You can find short plants Shrub Layer - You can find shrubs, such as azaleas and mountain laurels Small Tree or Sapling Layer - You can find short and young trees Tree Layer or Stratum - Tallest layer, is 60 to 100 feet high. You can find large oak trees, maple trees, and chestnut trees.location Deciduous forests can be found in the eastern half of North America, and the middle of Europe. There are many Deciduous Forests in Asia. Some of the major areas that they are in are southwest Russia, Japan, and eastern China. South America has two big areas of Deciduous Forests in southern Chile and Middle East coast of Paraguay. There are Deciduous Forests also located in New Zealand, and southeastern Australia also.how animals adapt The animals adapt to the climate by hibernating in the winter and living off the land in the other three seasons. The animals have adapted to the land by trying the plants in the forest to see if they are good to eat for a good supply of food. Also the trees provide shelter for them. Animal use the trees for food and a water sources. Most of the animals are camouflaged to look like the ground.seasons The Deciduous Forest has four distinct seasons, spring, summer, Fall, and winter. In the Fall the leaves change color. During the winter months the trees lose their leaves.food web This is a forest of angiosperms. You will find fruit trees and berry bushes growing wild here, along with insects to pollinate them. Although these forests may go through mixed stands with conifers, the conifers gradually disappear as changes in rainfall and climate favor Deciduous trees.

Namibia

x Places Namibia Namibia© WWF-US / Tom Dillon Videohk Close Namibia Facts Species People Threats What WWF is Doing How You Can Help Adopt an African Elephant Factsf Continent Africaz Species African elephant, Black rhino, White rhino Located in southern Africa on the Atlantic Ocean, Namibia consists of 200 million acres of ocean shores, woodland savannas, lush floodplains and picturesque deserts. It is a relatively new country, having achieved its independence in 1990. Namibia was the first African country to incorporate protection of the environment into its constitution, and the government gave people living in communal areas the opportunity to manage their natural resources through the creation of communal conservancies. These conservancies – as well as governments, nonprofit organizations and other entities – have restored populations of lions, cheetahs, black rhinos, zebras and other native wildlife to the world’s richest dry land. Through initiatives, such as ecotourism, restoration has generated sustainable income for their communities. Tweet FHabitats Grasslands, Deserts, Forest Habitat, Wetlands Browse Photos & Videos h A conversation with a Namibian conservation leader Asser Ndjitezeua and Carter Roberts talk about community conservancies, tough love, and the importance of finding your passion. Continue Reading h More Stories h© WWF-US/Nathan Mitchell Photography Species© WWF-US / Tom Dillon Namibia’s plankton-rich coastal waters support an extraordinary array of marine life, including an increasing number of southern right whales. Further inland, springbok, gemsbok and black-faced impala have all seen multifold increases in population. Namibia boasts the largest free-roaming population of black rhino in Africa, and the largest cheetah population in the world. Namibia is also home to a unique population of elephants that have adapted to the arid climate. Found mostly in the northwest part of the country, these "desert-adapted" elephants can go for days without drinking water by surviving on moisture obtained from the vegetation they eat. Although not a different subspecies of savannah elephants, they have several adaptations to their desert environment, including larger feet, which make it easier to walk through sand, and smaller herd sizes, which puts less pressure on their food and water sources. Black Rhino White Rhino Savanna Elephant Forest Elephant Rhino People & Communities Pride of Namibia 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 / 6:05More than two million people, the majority of Namibia’s population, live in the northern part of the country. Among Namibia’s 14 ethnic groups, 26 different languages are spoken. The communal conservancy movement, which links conservation to poverty alleviation through sustainable use of natural resources, is a key development strategy for rural Namibia. Approximately one in four rural Namibians now belongs to a registered conservancy. Namibian women have traditionally been excluded from natural resource management. WWF works with our Namibian partners to change this. Women now make up 35 percent of conservancy committee members, including three committee chairs and the majority of conservancy treasurers. As a result, women are receiving a larger share of benefits and exerting a growing influence over resource management and community development.“When WWF came to Namibia, community management of wildlife as an economic asset was a revolutionary idea. As people began to benefit socioeconomically, the idea turned into a powerful incentive for community conservation.”Chris Weaver Managing Director, Namibia Program Threats© WWF-Canon / Folke Wulf Here conservancy members inspect a local farmer’s field, which was raided by elephants. Conservancies record the damage and use it as a basis for compensation. Competing for Land and Water Use Development in Namibia is linked to its natural resources: land, water, minerals and wildlife. Agriculture, mining and tourism are the backbone of Namibia’s economy. They also compete for the right to use limited water and land resources. In this dry landscape, water is vitally important, and sustainable water use is a big challenge. The communal conservancy program has demonstrated that wildlife provides economic benefits, but this system must be recognized by national policy makers to be as significant as livestock or crops. Without this national support, Namibia’s land is at risk of being developed unsustainably. Conflict between People and Wildlife Conflict with wildlife remains a concern where agriculture shares land with wildlife. Namibia’s conservation efforts have helped increase wildlife populations—particularly large animals such as elephants and predators like cheetahs. As these populations grow and their ranges expand, they come into more frequent contact with communities. Farmers see significant losses when elephants raid crops, break down fences and water tanks, or when predators kill livestock. Effects of Climate Change Increasing temperatures and inconsistent rainfall are two impacts that place further pressure on natural resources. Areas receiving less rainfall will most likely suffer drought and fires, while other areas will face more frequent floods of greater magnitude. Such changes will make agriculture difficult and reduce productivity. It will also lead to increased problems with wildlife as fewer resources mean animals push into human settlements. What WWF Is Doing© WWF-Canon / Folke Wulf Local women making handicraft goods to be sold in the Mashi craft center of the Mayuni Conservancy. The sale of the goods is a valuable source of income. WWF’s work in Namibia focuses on supporting their communal conservancy program—a successful model for balancing the needs of people and wildlife. We partner with local communities to help them manage their natural resources and ensure a future that includes healthy wildlife populations and sustainable economic growth. Today, there is a direct relationship between the health of wildlife populations and prosperity of local communities. As a result, poaching has declined dramatically and there are now restored populations of numerous species. Building off of the success of the conservancy program, we now partner with governments and other entities to conserve biodiversity across large landscapes made up of conservancies, national parks, other state-managed protected areas, and private land. Conservation Beyond Borders In August 2011, Namibia, Angola, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe signed a treaty to pool their resources and reach across their borders in the name of conservation. The result is an enormous conservation area shared by all five countries called KAZA, the Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area. Some of Africa’s greatest natural treasures—including the Okavango Delta and Victoria Falls—are found here as well as nearly half of Africa’s elephants. This cross-border collaboration addresses the urgent threats of poaching and climate change and potentially allows wildlife to expand its range. WWF will use the experience gained by supporting Namibia’s successful conservancy program to help communities and governments manage their resources better, assist in the development of the area as a tourist destination, and help create corridors that give wildlife the freedom to roam. As communities begin to improve the management of their own resources, there will be more opportunities for jobs and sources of income. Improving Livelihoods Namibia’s communal conservancy program aims to improve the livelihoods of rural people through the sustainable use of natural resources. WWF continues to support this program, so that local communities see the value of wildlife and benefit from maintaining healthy populations of species. Protecting Species WWF works closely with the Namibian government and other partners to monitor, research and protect its wildlife. We have worked together to develop innovative new transmitters to track rhino movements. We also have provided antipoaching tools and technology, such as a rhino hotline, to protect them against poaching. The SMS hotline allows individuals who are aware of rhino poaching to contact authorities safely and anonymously. WWF also assists the government in monitoring the rhino population of Etosha National Park, the largest stronghold for black rhinos in Africa. Connecting Ecosystems Elephant fence next to the West Caprivi Game Strip. We have used satellite collars to study the movements of numerous animals and better understand the connectivity of ecosystems within KAZA, an enormous conservation area shared by five countries. This information has helped the government and communal conservancies identify priority areas to protect as animal movement corridors. Studying the movement and habitat requirements of large predators – such as lions, spotted hyena, wild dogs and crocodiles – helps to better mitigate human-wildlife conflict and gives communities the knowledge to better understand how to coexist with these species. For example, tracking elephant movements within Namibia’s Caprivi Strip is revealing the impact of fences, roads and other barriers on elephant movement. This information is critical to effective long-term planning within KAZA. Mitigating Human-Wildlife Conflicts WWF works hard to increase community understanding of wildlife as an important natural resource worth conserving. We help mitigate conflict through simple methods, such as repellants around fields, enclosures for livestock, and protective walls around water sources. We also work with partners to create alternative water sources away from home and farming areas in order to reduce damage from elephants seeking water. Our work includes creating incentives for people to coexist with wildlife, such as income from ecotourism. Growing Ecotourism Only in Namibia Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video. Lions, elephants, rhinos and cheetahs roam Namibia’s conservancy lands. To foster a growing ecotourism economy within conservancies, WWF helps find investors and offers business training to conservancy members. Joint venture lodges and campsites provide the largest overall source of benefits to conservancies. Tourism creates employment and fosters a variety of other sources of revenue, such as craft markets. Adapting to Climate Change WWF and its partners help farmers prepare for climate change through the use of conservation agriculture and indigenous plant harvesting. We work to create sources of water for wildlife away from areas used by people. And we support communal conservancies as they build a network of connected land for wildlife to move freely in response to climate change. Projects Conserving Wildlife and Enabling Communities in Namibia Namibia is home to an array of wildlife, from ostriches and zebras roaming the gravel plains to penguins and seals chilling in the Atlantic currents. It was the first African country to incorporate protection of the environment into its constitution. With WWF’s help, the government has reinforced this conservation philosophy by empowering its communities with rights to manage and benefit from the country’s wildlife through communal conservancies.

POSSESSION

POSSESSIONA person has possession of something if the person knows of its presence and has physical control of it, or has the power and intention to control it. [More than one person can be in possession of something if each knows of its presence and has the power and intention to control it. ]The law recognizes several kinds of possession. A person may have actual possession or constructive possession. A person may also have sole possession or joint possession. A person who has direct physical control of something on or around his person is then in actual possession of it. A person who is not in actual possession, but who has both the power and the intention to later take control over something either alone or together with someone else, is in constructive possession of it. If one person alone has possession of something, possession is sole. If two or more persons share possession, possession is joint. Google+d

Pokie Machine Manufacturers

Pokie Machine Manufacturers In Australia there are three major players in the slot machine industry. These are Aristocrat, IGT and Ainsworth. Aristocrat is the most predominant but IGT and Ainsworth do have quite a few games in pubs, clubs and and casinos. In the early 1990's there were several other brands such as Universal and Jubilee but these games have all but disappeared. The Major Players Aristocrat ( www.aristocrat.com.au) Founded in 1953 Aristocrat had perfect timing as pokies were legalized in New South Wales just 3 years later. The first machine to roll off the production lines was the Clubman which was followed by the Clubmaster a few years later. In 1984 Aristocrat changed the face of gambling in Australia with the release of the first of what would become the modern day pokie. Today, their name is synonymous with pokies and their game library includes greats like Queen of the Nile, More Chilli and 5 Dragons. IGT ( www.igt.com.au) While IGT was operating as a private company as far back as the 1950's it was in 1981 when International Game Technology went public and made a major move into the slot machine industry. They are the number one game maker in the United States and are making inroads into the Australian market with great games such as Cleopatra and Major Money. Ainsworth Game Technology ( www.ainsworth.com.au) Founded by "Pokie King" Len Ainsworth in 1995 after leaving Aristocrat, Ainsworth Gaming has quickly become one of the top three game makers in Australia and is rapidly expanding around the world. One of the trademarks of the Ainsworth games are their multi-level progressive jackpots with the Double Shot, Triple Shot and Quad Shot games being some of their most popular titles. Other Game Makers While the three listed above are the biggest and most prominent there are some other companies that have either been big in the past or are just started to make an impact. These companies are;Konami Once one of the top three, Konami pokies are now found less frequently. They entered the Aussie market in 1996 with popular games like Money in the Bank and Incan Pyramid. Star Games / Shufflemaster / Bally Three big names in the gaming machine industry have merged into on with Bally now being a big US slot machine maker looking to make inroads into the Australian market. Top games include Kelly's Fortune and Wold Mountain. WMS Gaming Founded by Harry Williams in 1943, WMS Gaming's pokies are now available in Australia. They even have a game development office in Sydney. Some of their top games are Zeus, Li'l Red and Jungle Wild. Aruze Gaming Aruze Gaming have been in the Australian pokie market since 1989. Their games are not as commonly found as they once were although the new G-Series and G-Deluxe games might signal a comeback. Online Pokie Software Companies The companies above are the biggest in terms of offline pokies but they are not the big names when it comes to online games. See our Online Casino Software Companies article to find out about the companies that are the major players in online pokies software.

Garmin success starts with co-founder

By Diane Stafford Linked In Google+Pinterest Reddit Print Order Reprint of this Story December 20, 2012 07:20 AMUpdated December 20, 2012 08:21 AMIn a city where the names of phenomenally successful entrepreneurs are household words — Kauffman, Bloch, Hall, Stowers — there’s another whose name often draws a blank in casual conversations. And Min Kao is fine with that. The personable but private engineer who co-founded and leads Garmin Ltd. has agreed to only a couple of interviews in the company’s 23-year history. He prefers the focus to be on Garmin’s products, the array of navigational devices it makes for aircraft, boats, cars, outdoor activities and athletes. But because the world has recognized Garmin’s pioneering work in bringing GPS technology to the consumer, Kao agreed to an interview with The Star. He had recently returned from London, where he accepted The Economist magazine’s prestigious 2012 Innovation Award for Consumer Products. Today's top news by email The local news you need to start your day SIGN UPKao, typically, deflected personal praise.“It’s because of all the people we’ve had,” Kao said, extolling his co-workers. “Ideas can come from anybody.”Ever since Kao and co-founder Gary Burrell put their heads — and their first names — together to create consumer uses for the global positioning systems first used by the military, they have shied away from personal attention. Burrell retired to his home south of Kansas City in 2004 and declines all interviews. Kao, Garmin’s chairman and CEO, agreed to the interview largely to advocate for the nurturing of other engineering and entrepreneurial talent. Perhaps, he agreed, his company’s success — it’s put more than 100 million navigational products on the market — could be an example for other entrepreneurs. Now a billionaire In the interview, the 63-year-old Leawood resident recounted the rise of his company from card table conversations to an employer of 9,000 workers with locations in 40 countries. About 3,000 employees work at Garmin’s operational headquarters in Olathe. In a milestone on its growth trajectory, Garmin this month joined Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index. The company expects revenues of about $2.8 billion this year. Garmin’s success has made Kao a billionaire. According to the Forbes magazine annual list, Kao this year ranked as the world’s 546th wealthiest person, worth $2.3 billion because of the Garmin stock he holds. No other Kansas City area resident comes close on the list, except Burrell, ranked by Forbes at No. 913 with $1.4 billion. Yet, Kao “is a genuinely modest man,” said Jon Cassat, a Garmin vice president who has known Kao for 20 years. “He celebrates collective achievement. ... There’s a culture at Garmin of servant leadership.”Kao, who was born in Taiwan and came to the United States in 1973 to attend graduate school at the University of Tennessee, doesn’t talk about his wealth. He would not, for example, confirm a Wall Street Journal story earlier this year that said he was the person behind a limited liability company’s purchase of a $40 million 41st-floor condominium in New York City’s 15 Central Park West building. And while his close associates said he’s exceedingly generous with his philanthropy, he’s private about that, too.“It’s his private life, and what he does with his money is never discussed around here,” Cassat said. Supporting education The most public Kao has been with his giving was earlier this year in Knoxville, Tenn., where he and his wife, Fan Kao, contributed $17.5 million to his graduate school alma mater. Kao earned master’s and doctorate degrees in electrical engineering at Tennessee and continues to be passionate about supporting the engineering program there and elsewhere.“My top priority is engineering education,” Kao said, describing his family foundation’s funding of engineering scholarships, on behalf of Garmin, at nine schools in seven states, each for $6,000 to $8,000 a year. “The objective is to get more kids involved in engineering.”Kao received scholarships to attend Tennessee, and he said such support is vital to build enterprises like Garmin that need “STEM talent,” students trained in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. He also committed $10 million five years ago to the Garmin Electrical and Computer Engineering Initiative at Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla. That gift translates to $100,000 a year for 20 undergraduate scholarships of $5,000 each. Associates said Kao also contributes to the Kansas City Symphony, and other arts organizations as well as various agencies that serve people in need. Kao himself only acknowledged his support of “United Way agencies and miscellaneous.”Just ‘Min’At Garmin, Min Kao is Min. Not Kao. Not Mr. Kao. Associates said he sets the tone for a first-name culture that permeates the Olathe buildings. Kao was agreeably posing in Garmin’s main lobby for The Star’s photographer while employees began leaving the building for the night. One casually dressed young man caught sight of the boss, and the two plunged into comfortable conversation. The two Garmin communications officers who shepherded the interview marveled that the CEO apparently knew personal details about an employee whom they couldn’t even identify. Cliff Pemble, Garmin president and chief operating officer, said in a subsequent interview that Kao’s connection with many Garmin employees is real.“Min is very friendly, very affectionate,” Pemble said. “He makes everybody feel comfortable. In every situation he thinks about all the parties involved.”Outside of Garmin, Kao has exposed less of his personality. He’s not a notable joiner of civic associations or committees. Rather, he’s a working engineer and company strategist.“He’s created a great environment to nourish and encourage creativity,” said Jay Dee Krull, one of Kao’s first employees in 1989. Krull, who now holds the title of Garmin’s director of software excellence, finds in Kao an intriguing combination of humility and brilliance.“You’d never guess the intellect he possesses,” Krull said, coupling that with Kao’s “sincere caring nature.”At Garmin, his top associates say, Kao also shows a sense of humor — his own and an appreciation of others’.“Min likes to have fun with his work,” Pemble said. “He can see the light side of what’s going on.”More competition Somehow, associates said, Kao leads a corporate culture that copes seriously, but lightly, with stiff competition in their markets. Garmin’s annual report lists a formidable lineup of product competitors, including Tom Tom, Magellan, Nike, Raymarine, Honeywell, Motorola and many others in the five navigational product categories in which Garmin operates. Unlike Burrell, Kao isn’t a pilot, so he doesn’t have first-hand use of Garmin’s aviation products. “I don’t do boating, either,” Kao said. And colleagues said he doesn’t fish, hunt or play golf, so he doesn’t routinely use Garmin’s navigation products in those fields.“But the automotive products, I get to test,” Kao smiled, following up with another self-deprecation: “I don’t call myself an early adopter … I don’t even consider myself a very sophisticated i Pad user. ... it’s my wife’s.”Min and Fan Kao were already married when they came to America in 1973. Garmin’s publicity team respectfully refused interview requests with Kao’s family, saying that is “treading beyond Min’s comfort zone.”Their daughter, Jen Kao, launched her own fashion line in New York after attending New York University and the Parsons School of Design. Their son, Ken Kao, attended the University of Kansas and De Paul University Law School and is now a film producer in Los Angeles. Both children spent their teen years in the Kansas City area after the family moved here because of Kao’s earlier work with King Radio Corp. and Allied Signal. Startup advice Asked to analyze his entrepreneurial success, given that so many startups fail, Kao said three things were present for Garmin and must be for others:• “You definitely need a vision … and be convinced the product will provide unique value and stand up over time,” he said.• “You need a team, partners who are able to translate the ideals into tangible products,” he said, adding that product development requires some rapidity to stay ahead of the market.• “Third, we’re very proud of our (corporate) culture,” he said. “We’re in it for a long time, not to get rich off an idea.”Kao said he encourages other entrepreneurs to “think long-term,” to “make a commitment to invest and reinvest for the future.”Kao said that he ignored some financial advice and elected to provide insurance and other benefits for Garmin employees from the outset. That helped build a strong culture, as did Garmin’s practice of healthy reinvestment in research and development. Although there have been some bumps in the road — production of its own smartphone was abandoned due to poor sales — Kao said Garmin is well positioned to handle competition from smartphones that provide a hand-held navigation tool to the consumer market.“People ask if we worry, but we don’t feel pressured,” Kao said. “A smartphone is OK for the casual user, but the markets we serve require more robust solutions.”Examples? Waterproof GPS devices for divers. Or ultra-sophisticated “glass panel” navigational instruments for the cockpits of airplanes. Yair Reiner, a stock analyst at Oppenheimer & Co., who has followed Garmin since 2007, said Garmin has fierce competition for various products, but its product breadth and its culture give it an edge.“They do a remarkable job in virtually every market they compete in, in having market-leading share and market-leading margins,” Reiner said. “They make products that customers like, are loyal to, and are willing to pay a premium for.”But more than that, the stock analyst said, he credits Kao with maintaining a corporate culture that is hard to replicate.“It’s hard to teach an organization how to make right choices and inspire people,” Reiner said. Kao said he intends to keep the focus on “continual innovation,” and that means continuing to attract talented engineers to Garmin. And about that company name: Kao said hundreds of names were considered for the startup, but anything meaningful was already taken or risky. Finally, they resorted to putting together combinations of the co-founders’ names. After they ran out of options, “Garmin sounded smoother than Mingar,” Kao said. Comments

Experimental Social Psychology, Situationism, and Creating a Virtuous Character

In an New York Times op-ed a couple of weeks ago, David Brooks drew on the work of Princeton philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah in order to suggest that the philosophical view of character and virtue is now being replaced by the “psychologist’s view” that there is no such thing as character. Instead of thinking of character as a firm and stable disposition to act and feel a certain way, Brooks explains that experiments in psychology suggest that character is actually more contextual, failing to exhibit what psychologists call “cross-situational stability.”The psychologists thus tend to gravitate toward a different view of conduct. In this view, people don’t have one permanent thing called character. We each have a multiplicity of tendencies inside, which are activated by this or that context. As Paul Bloom of Yale put it in an essay for The Atlantic last year, we are a community of competing selves. These different selves “are continually popping in and out of existence. They have different desires, and they fight for control — bargaining with, deceiving, and plotting against one another.”The philosopher’s view is shaped like a funnel. At the bottom, there is a narrow thing called character. And at the top, the wide ways it expresses itself. The psychologist’s view is shaped like an upside-down funnel. At the bottom, there is a wide variety of unconscious tendencies that get aroused by different situations. At the top, there is the narrow story we tell about ourselves to give coherence to life. Brooks goes on to explain that philosophers see the development of character as a matter of “direct assault,” using reason and strength of will to distinguish virtue from vice. Psychologists, on the other hand, see the development of character as a more subconscious, indirect process: In the psychologist’s version, the good life is won indirectly. People have only vague intuitions about the instincts and impulses that have been implanted in them by evolution, culture and upbringing. There is no easy way to command all the wild things jostling inside. Brooks’ conclusion suggests that the psychological view may be more accurate, that the good life is not won through “heroic self-analysis but through mundane, self-forgetting effort, and through everyday routines.”Brooks, in his use of Appiah, is referring to a debate that has existed for some time in moral philosophy over the “situationist” account of character. Situationists see the conclusions of experimental moral psychology suggesting that behavior changes according to situations in conflict with the philosophical view that behavior can be largely predictable due to stable virtuous and vicious dispositions in one’s character. Some moral philosophers who embrace situationist social psychology argue that the conclusions drawn in empirical research have radical implications for virtue ethics. Gilbert Harman, who has written extensively on the implications of experimental social psychology on moral philosophy, argues that if we take a virtue to be a stable disposition to act in certain ways, than empirical studies indicating that human behavior is largely determined by the situation cast doubt on whether or not there is such a thing as a firm and consistent character, or whether or not character can be developed at all. John Doris does not go so far as Harman in questioning the existence of character, but he does argue that situationist social psychology indicates that habits of character tend to be narrow rather than broad. That is, a virtue is not a general disposition to act in a certain way, but a disposition to act in a certain way under quite specific circumstances. Doris and Harman both draw similar conclusions about the usefulness of virtue ethics. If there is no such thing as a virtue, meaning a firm and consistent disposition to act a certain way in a wide range of situations, than virtue ethics is not a useful moral theory and we would be better suited given the reality of our human nature to adopt a more deontological and utilitarian moral theory. In essence, virtue-based moral theories are more idealistic about human nature than the evidence tends to support. Situations, rather than character, are better predictors of behavior. However, both Doris and Harman, and interestingly enough, David Brooks himself, have an inadequate understanding of character as it is conceived in traditional virtue ethics. The understanding of characters offered by the situationists and traditional virtue ethics are not the same. The character traits that situationist psychological experiments investigate are dispositions to behave a certain way, apart from the reasoning process. They are studying character traits, such as the tendency not to lie or the tendency to help out strangers. These specific behaviors, however, are not the same as “character” understood in a more Aristotelian sense. Virtue ethics offers a more holistic view of character that is something more than particular traits, but rather consists of a complex set of desires, beliefs, and goals that dispose the person to act in certain predictable ways. That is, a person may consistently provide aid to a stranger in need not because of a disposition to help strangers, but rather because of an overall disposition of generosity and kindness. To pass by a stranger in need, for example, due to a hurried mood, a temporary bad mood, or any of the other factors that situationists claim cause us to behave unpredictably does not indicate that this person’s character is not generous and kind. It indicates rather that this person is acting out of character. People may act “out of character” when their appetites conflict–say when a person’s emotions overcome his or her reason. A person may also act “out of character” due to competing obligations and the lack of resolutely good choices. Say our kind and generous individual in the above example has promised to give an important talk at a university about generosity and is running late. She may pass by a stranger in need because another obligation, an obligation she considers important because of her character, but which competes with another obligation to help a stranger in need. She may still be kind and generous, but the object of her kind and generous actions today is the university audience she has obligated herself to, rather than the needy stranger that passes her way. What experimental social psychology provides moral philosophers like myself is not a challenge to an Aristotelian understanding of character that thereby undermines virtue ethics, but rather a warning that the temptations humans face in the goal to act virtuously comes not only from our own vices, but also from situations that we face, sometimes unconsciously, that challenge the sort of behavior that we would want to consider distinctive of our character. For example, I may be more prone to snap at my husband impatiently because somebody snapped at me impatiently earlier in the day. This tendency does not mean that my character is impatient (although in my case, it most definitely is), but rather that this external situation or getting snapped at predisposes me to act out of character. Once I become aware of the role this situation plays in determining my behavior, my reason can help resist such tendencies in order to allow the expression of my character to gain more cross-situational consistency. So Brooks is wrong to suggest that the creation of the good life comes from self-forgetting. It is rather quite the opposite. The good life comes as a result of becoming conscious through the development of character of those situations when self-forgetfulness leads to out-of-character behavior, of rationally becoming aware of the inconsistencies of one’s actions with one’s desires, beliefs, and goals. Experimental social psychology does not challenge a virtue-ethics understanding of character or the existence of vice and virtue, but rather illuminates specific ways in which acts do not correspond to a person’s habits. Experimental social psychology is an ally in understanding character and virtue ethics, not a competitor. Advertisements Loading...

Will being more self-reflective help me avoid being automatically nice?

Being reflective means keeping an eye on yourself while you’re doing what you’re doing. It’s as if you’re holding up a mirror and evaluating your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors even as you’re going about everyday life. For example, say your friend calls (for the third time this week) while you’ve (finally) gotten into doing your taxes, which are due next week, and begs you to babysit for her three-year-old so she can scoot out to get those fabulous Manolo pumps she saw on sale downtown. A reflective person will consider her reaction to such a request before answering. For purposes of reflection, in this example, it doesn’t matter whether you say yes or no. What’s important is that you’re constantly assessing what you think and do and how you feel and don’t act automatically. Reflection is like having a video camera running 24/7 that feeds you info about yourself in real time. Of course, sometimes you might get so caught up in the moment that you can’t watch the video and even forget that it’s creating footage. Okay, then, when you have a minute, you simply rewind it, review it, and reflect. If you said no to your friend in the above example, you might notice feeling proud but guilty. If you said yes, you might be aware of feeling annoyed at yourself or at her and hopeful that she is appreciative. Most likely, you’ll find yourself experiencing a mix of emotions. Reflecting requires existing on two parallel tracks at once: the doing, thinking, or feeling, and observing these activities. It takes a while to get the hang of it, but after some time, it will feel more natural. The goal is not to become so bogged down in every moment that observation and assessment cut into the flow of your life (Should I put on my right shoe first or my left? Go to the grocery aisle now or the frozen foods?) but to alternate fluidly among acting, feeling, and thinking and reflecting on these processes. Without reflection, the door to change remains shut. How can you do things differently if you don’t know what you’re doing? How can you change feelings if you’re clueless about what they are? Contemplation gives you the objective feedback you need to notice progress, stuckness, and slippage back to your nice default setting. It’s an essential ingredient to the change process.

Romulus - Roman Mythology About the Founding and First King of Rome

Humanities ›History & Culture Romulus - Roman Mythology About the Founding and First King of Rome Roman Mythology About the Founding and First King of Rome Share Flipboard Email Print Romulus > Kings of Rome . Clipart.comby N. S. Gill Updated March 08, 2017The Myth About Rome's 1st King Romulus was the eponymous first king of Rome. How he got there is a story like many others, involving a rags-to-riches rise in fortune, a miraculous birth (like Jesus), and the exposure of an unwanted infant ( see Paris of Troy and Oedipus) in a river ( see Moses and Sargon). Barry Cunliffe, in Britain Begins (Oxford: 2013), succinctly describes the story as one of love, rape, treachery, and murder. The story of Romulus, his twin brother Remus, and the founding of the city of Rome is one of the most familiar legends about the Eternal City. The basic legend of how Romulus came to be the first king of Rome begins with the god Mars impregnating a Vestal Virgin named Rhea Silvia, daughter of a rightful, but deposed king. Outline of the Birth and Rise of Romulus After the birth of Mars' sons Romulus and Remus, the king orders them to be left to die in the Tiber River. When the basket in which the twins were placed washes up on shore, a wolf suckles them and a woodpecker named Picus feeds them until.... The shepherd Faustulus finds the twins and brings them into his home. When they grow up, Romulus and Remus restore the throne of Alba Longa to its rightful ruler, their maternal grandfather. Then they set out to found their own city. Sibling rivalry leads Romulus to slay his brother. Romulus then becomes the first king and founder of the city of Rome. Rome is named after him. A Fine Story, But It's False Such is the condensed, skeletal version of the story of the twins, but the details are believed to be false. I know. I know. It's a legend but bear with me. Was the Suckling Lupaa She-Wolf or a Prostitute? It is thought that a prostitute may have cared for the infants. If true, then the story about the wolf suckling the babies is only an interpretation of a Latin word for brothel ( lupanar) cave. The Latin for both 'prostitute' and 'she-wolf' is lupa . Archaeologists Uncover the Lupercale? A cave was uncovered on the Palatine Hill in Rome that some think is the Lupercale in which Romulus and Remus were suckled by a lupa (whether wolf or prostitute). If this were said cave, it might prove the existence of the twins. Read more in USA Today's "Does a cave prove Romulus and Remus are no myth? "Romulus May Not Have Been the Eponymous Founder Although Romulus or Rhomos or Rhomylos is considered the eponymous ruler, Rome may well have a different origin. His Mother - The Vestal Virgin Rhea Silvia: The mother of the twins Romulus and Remus was said to have been a Vestal Virgin named Rhea Silvia, the daughter of (the rightful king) Numitor and niece of the usurper and ruling king, Amulius of Alba Longa, in Latium. Alba Longa was an area near the eventual location of Rome, about 12 miles southeaast, but the city on the seven hills had yet to be built. A Vestal Virgin was a special priestly post of the hearth goddess Vesta, reserved for women that conferred great honor and privilege, but also, as the name implies, virginal status. The usurper feared a future challenge from Numitor's descendants. To prevent their being born, Amulius forced his niece to become a Vestal and therefore forced to remain a virgin. The penalty for violating the vow of chastity was a cruel death. The legendary Rhea Silvia survived violation of her vow long enough to give birth to twins, Romulus and Remus. Unfortunately, like later Vestal Virgins who violated their vows and therefore endangered the luck of Rome (or were used as scapegoats when Rome's luck appeared to be running out), Rhea may have suffered the usual punishment -- burial alive (shortly after delivery). The Founding of Alba Longa: At the end of the Trojan War, the city of Troy was destroyed, the men were killed and the women taken as captives, but a few Trojans escaped. A cousin of the royals, Prince Aeneas, son of the goddess Venus and the mortal Anchises, left the burning city of Troy, at the end of the Trojan War, with his son Ascanius, the pricelessly important household gods, his elderly father, and their followers. After many adventures, which the Roman poet Vergil (Virgil) describes in the Aeneid, Aeneas and his son arrived at the city of Laurentum on the west coast of Italy. Aeneas married Lavinia, the daughter of the king of the area, Latinus, and founded the town of Lavinium in honor of his wife. Ascanius, son of Aeneas, decided to build a new city, which he named Alba Longa, under the Alban mountain and near where Rome would be built. Ancient Rome Timeline Events Before the Founding of Rome:c. 1183 - Fall of Troyc. 1176 - Aeneas founds Laviniumc. 1152 - Ascanius founds Alba Longac. 1152-753 - Kings of Alba Longa Alba Longa Kings List1) Silvius 29 years 2) Aeneas II 31 3) Latinus II 51 4) Alba 39 5) Capetus 26 6) Capys 28 7) Calpetus 13 8) Tiberinus 8 9) Agrippa 41 10) Allodius 19 II) Aventinus 37 12) Proca 23 13) Amulius 42 14) Numitor 1~ "The Alban King-List in Dionysius I, 70-71: A Numerical Analysis," by Roland A. Laroche. Who Founded Rome - Romulus or Aeneas? : There were two traditions on the founding of Rome. According to one, Aeneas was the founder of Rome and according to the other, it was Romulus. Cato, in the early second century B. C., followed Eratosthenes' recognition that there were hundreds of years -- what amounts to 16 generations -- between Rome's founding (in the first year of the 7th Olympiad) and the fall of Troy in 1183 B. C. He combined the two stories to come up with what is the generally accepted version. Such a new account was necessary because 400+ years were too many to allow truth seekers to call Romulus Aeneas' grandson: The Hybrid Story of the Founding of the 7-Hilled City of Rome Aeneas came to Italy, but Romulus founded the actual 7-hilled ( Palatine, Aventine, Capitoline or Capitolium, Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline and Caelian) city of Rome, according to Jane Gardner. Founding Rome on the Back of Fratricide: How and why Romulus or his companions killed Remus is also unclear: Was Remus killed by accident or out of sibling rivalry for the throne? Appraising the Signs From the Gods One story about Romulus killing Remus begins with the brothers using augury to determine which brother should be king. Romulus looked for his signs on the Palatine Hill and Remus on the Aventine. The sign came to Remus first -- six vultures. When Romulus later saw 12, the brothers' men ranged themselves against each other, the one claiming precedence because the favorable signs had come to their leader first, and the other claiming the throne because the signs were greater. In the ensuing altercation, Remus was killed -- by Romulus or another. Taunting Twins Another story of the killing of Remus has each brother building the walls for his city on his respective hill. Remus, mocking the low walls of his brother's city, leaped over the Palatine walls, where an angry Romulus killed him. The city grew up around the Palatine and was named Rome for Romulus, its new king. Romulus Disappears The end of the reign of Romulus is suitably mysterious. Rome's first king was last seen when a thunder storm wrapped itself around him. Modern Fiction on Romulus by Steven Saylor It may be fiction, but Steven Saylor's Roma includes an engrossing story of the legendary Romulus.

Deborah8, 2016-03-10 10, 2016Not certain if the edit text was answered, but I have noticed when I am adding text, or editing, I usually press the escape button and that will take me out of the mode. One other thing to remember is that sometime what you are looking at an image and not actual text. Usually the text is pretty evident; you can edit text by clicking on the edit text and images. Lori Kassuba2, 2016-03-02 02, 2016Hi Janina Kowalska,Try making sure the language is set to Polish under File > Properties > Advanced tab in Reading options. Thanks, Lori Janina Kowalska4, 2016-02-18 18, 2016I am unsuccessfully trying to edit Polish text in a pdf file, using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. The fonts (Bookman Old Style group) are embedded. I would be most grateful for your advice. Kind regards,Janina Lori Kassuba12, 2016-02-12 12, 2016Hi Jackie,This may be possible but it depends on how the PDF was created. Look into the tools located in the Edit PDF tool. Thanks, Lori Jackie9, 2016-01-14 14, 2016Hi there. I have got the Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. I have plan that I want to color in only specific blocks/shops….is this possible with this program? Thank you so much Lori Kassuba11, 2015-12-30 30, 2015Hi Lin Kaatz Chary,To release the Add Text tool found in the Editing panel, you can click on the Select tool or Hand tool. Thanks, Lori Lin Kaatz Chary2, 2015-12-24 24, 2015You never bothered to answer Rhonda’s question which is my question exactly. I understand how to do edit text using the tools in XI but there is absolutely no intuitive way to turn it off. One “help” answer said click on “OK” but I don’t see an “OK” anywhere. This is beyond annoying. If you could answer this question it would be much appreciated. I click on the “Tool” column on the right, then on “Content Editing” then on “Add text” then add my text but then I can never get out of the “add text” mode. I’m sure there is a very simple obvious solution that I am missing but I am definitely missing it. Please help. Lori Kassuba12, 2015-10-22 22, 2015Hi Appu,Adding comments is different that editing the actual PDF file.

Lori Bracha11, 2015-05-13 13, 2015When I try to Edit text in Adobe Acrobat Professional 8, I get blank spaces, with the exception of numbers, which do show up. Any ideas why?

Thanks LUIS FERNANDO PEREZ8, 2015-04-01 01, 2015Why when I edit the text of a document in Adobe Acrobat XI Standard , the edited text is printed in italics , even when the display is normal? Lori Kassuba1, 2015-03-19 19, 2015Hi Stevie G,Sounds like you’ll need to change your font just for the two characters AE. Have you tried this? Thanks, Lori Stevie G9, 2015-03-17 17, 2015I have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and I am trying to edit text (using ‘Edit Text & Images’) in an existing document so that I can insert a registered tradmark symbol (R). Every time I try to do this, it converts it to ‘AE’ and I cannot figure out how to get the symbol inserted properly. Can you please advise? Thank you. Lori Kassuba3, 2015-02-20 20, 2015Hi Dave R.,What command are you using to create the initial text block? Thanks, Lori Dave R.10, 2015-02-20 20, 2015When I create a text block, then save it, the next time I open the document it breaks the single text block into several smaller ones. Is there a way to prevent this? (12 lines of text, all very short). Lori Kassuba1, 2015-02-11 11, 2015Hi Keith,Unfortunately, there isn’t an easy way to reorganize the pieces once you flatten and attempt to edit the PDF. When you activate the editor it looks for nearby text and creates a bounding box. You might try seeing the moving the placement of the text in the Content Navigation pane changes this behavior. Thanks, Lori Keith3, 2015-02-04 04, 2015Attempting to edit flattened PDFs - specifically a text area where Acrobat combined a pre-filled name value, line with text beneath. Any attempt to edit any portion of these three text pieces re-organizes the entire layout. Do we have any controls on joining (or breaking up) text areas? Lori Kassuba2, 2015-02-03 03, 2015Hi Bobby,Yes, you can edit text in Acrobat Standard. However, the editing capability was much more limited in earlier versions (i.e., Acrobat X). Thanks, Lori Bobby10, 2015-02-01 01, 2015Can you edit PDF documents with Adobe Standard. It seems like you can address pictorial issues, but not too regular editing. Lori Kassuba10, 2014-11-20 20, 2014Hi Juan M,Feel free to post your editing suggestion here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform When I use Ctrl + 0 it fits to the page. What version are you running? Thanks, Lori Juan M4, 2014-11-19 19, 2014Hello Lori, Well yes, I’ve tried the Add Text command but I would have to position manually each text in each page, which for the job I’m doing is not an option. Being that the case, is better to use the Header/Footer command, edit the piece of text and reposition manually. I guess that’s some functionality that is to come (though it was possible in past versions). I really hope Acrobat will recover that simple task, and many others (e.g. shortcut customization, or Ctrl+0 to fit one full page in window instead of zooming-in)... But anyway, thanks a lot for your interest, Lori. Juan MLori Kassuba10, 2014-11-17 17, 2014Hi Juan M,Have you tried using the Add Text command instead of the Edit Text & Images command? It doesn’t seem to affect the layout and is easier than the Header/Footer command. Thanks, Lori Juan M2, 2014-11-14 14, 2014Thanks a lot for you answer Lori. Effectively I’ve been using the Update Header/Footer, but unfortunately there’s no way to apply to the current page without specifying a Page range (from 10 to 10), and I there’s one part of the header I have to change in each page, so having to set a range for each page is quite time consuming. I have even considered scripting the Header/Footer command, but apparently it can only be done with Page Watermark OCG’s, and it would be even more harder to set it differently for each page. I really wonder why Adobe didn’t include the Selected pages and Current page option in the Header/Footer settings dialog. Thanks again, Lori, you’ve been very kind. Regards, Juan MLori Kassuba2, 2014-11-14 14, 2014Hi Juan M,Thanks for the example. I think this is occurring because the Header/Footer command using Optional Content Groups (OCGs) and not just regular text. As a workaround you could use the Update Header/Footer command to add the new text and just apply it to the current page. Let us know if this helps, Lori Juan M5, 2014-11-12 12, 2014I guess that the change Adobe did by switching off the “Edit Document Text” for the one-tool-only “Edit Text & Images” messed this functionality… unless I’m doing it the wrong way…Juan M4, 2014-11-12 12, 2014Sure, Lori. I’ve just made an example in screen captured PDF (http://we.tl/tx3e YQb DNs), adding a header text aligned to top of page, and then, trying to edit that text, acrobat pulls it down, forcing the text box inside the art box. In past versions of Acrobat (X pro) this did not happen, you could edit header texts without modifying layout. Thanks!Lori Kassuba3, 2014-11-12 12, 2014Hi Juan M,Can you forward a link to an example of this behavior? Thanks, Lori Juan M5, 2014-11-10 10, 2014Hello, I’ve been trying to edit text that has been added with Header command. I first add a prefix text by using headers to a big range of pages, then, page page I add a name to each prefix. The problem is that the text is almost touching the top of the page, so when I add the text Acrobat moves the text box down and changes the composition. Is there a way to prevent this? back in version X this didn’t happen. Thanks in advance. Lori Kassuba12, 2014-09-12 12, 2014Hi balan,You’ll need Acrobat (not the free Reader) to do this. Start by activating Edit mode by selecting the Edit Text & Images command in the Content Editing panel. Then, you’ll see bounding boxes around the text paragraphs. Click your cursor in the first line and press the space bar. Thanks, Lori Lori Kassuba12, 2014-09-12 12, 2014David Bulman,You can use the Add Header & Footer command found under the Tools Pane > Pages panel in Acrobat to remove an existing header or add a blank one that covers up the sequential numbering. Thanks, Lori Joan Jones10, 2014-09-12 12, 2014Thank you, Patty!Patty Friesen10, 2014-09-12 12, 2014Hi Joan,Alternatively, you can view the same content as an infographic by going to: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-edit-text-in-a-pdf-file-infographic Patty Patty Friesen10, 2014-09-12 12, 2014Hi Joan,Directly under the video text is a link to ‘view transcript.’ That will give you a text version of the content presented in the video.

My short-term memory is not very good, and I can’t remember all of these steps without being able to refer to a written text during the process. Thank you.balan11, 2014-09-10 10, 2014I need to move a line to the left by a space or two in pdf. what do I do? David Bulman12, 2014-07-30 30, 2014I created a ~1000 page .pdf document that has a header with with sequential page numbers. How can I delete the header and all the sequential page numbers on each page? Mike9, 2014-07-30 30, 2014I use Adobe Reader at work to revise scanned electrical schematics. IT dept.has “upgraded” the Pro versions several times and the learning process starts over each time. Not all changes are for the better. To the old Pro 9 users…Do not try to create a text box with ‘Text Box’ tool, because you can’t edit the text appearance afterwards (like you could on older versions. As the video shows- create a text boxes using the “Add Text” tool. Editing text in this newly created box will be easy then. Thanks for all the tips Donna. They enlightened me, Mike Lori Kassuba2, 2014-07-28 28, 2014Hi Gary Cosel,In Forms Edit mode, open the Fields pane and select all your Text Fields. Next, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + i to bring up the Properties and change the default font. This will change the default font for all the fields that you selected. Thanks, Lori Gary Cosel2, 2014-07-26 26, 2014I converted one of my treatment forms into a pdf document file. Then I made it into a template and created text fields to type into. My problem now - how do I change the font and font size of the text that I want to type into the text field? - it is stuck in default at “12”.

Thanks, Lori Melissa9, 2014-04-16 16, 2014Hi Lori,Yes, it did originiated as a scanned image, it was a PDF. It will only allow me to edit certain parts of the document, not the entire thing. Any advice? Lori Kassuba11, 2014-04-14 14, 2014Hi Melissa,Did this particular document originate as a scanned image? Anything else unusual about it? Thanks, Lori Melissa2, 2014-04-11 11, 2014For some reason, I am not able to edit a document. Upon clicking the edit button on the right hand side, it will only allow me to edit certain parts of the document, not all of it. i have never had this happen before, can you please help? Thank you Lori Kassuba1, 2014-04-01 01, 2014Hi Amy,I see that Karl responded to your question here: http://answers.acrobatusers.com/how-I-names-numbers-chapters-page-original-doc-q151522.aspx If you’re still having problems, can you respond to his question so we can help you get your novel published:) Good luck!Lori Amy1, 2014-03-24 24, 2014The piece of work I consult your page about is a novel; I must send a copy by email to Europe. They requested a .pdf what never happened to me before. And my problem is all chapters (and numbers) were on a NEW page in the original Word .doc and my .pdf shows it all rushing straightaway which is the absolute wrong idea for a novel. I have very little experience with Acrobat but a lot with these people and I fear being refused after 8 months of hard work. I’d be so very grateful if your are able to give me a hint to help me out. I’d be grateful even if you are overworked and can’t. Kindest regards from Amy. Lori Kassuba10, 2014-03-20 20, 2014Hi maria,It sounds as though you have the text form field font properties set to auto. This is will create the variance in font sizing. I would change it to an exact size similar to the text surrounding the form field. Thanks, Lorimaria4, 2014-03-17 17, 2014Thanks for your advice. The situation is that I’ve converted a word doc. into a PDF. Some areas in the documents needs to be filled by others. The whole doc. is a PDF except the areas where additional information needs to be included. The thing here is that when running a sample I notice that font size changes while writing. I have a Adobe XI Pro, I’m new with the program and need to solve this issue. Appreciate your comments. Lori Kassuba10, 2014-03-10 10, 2014Hi Maria,Are you saying that you want to allow folks to add information in the highlighted areas? If so, I would place text form fields on the PDF using the tools located under the Tools pane > Forms panel in Acrobat Std. or Pro. version XI. Thanks, Lori Maria4, 2014-03-04 04, 2014I have already converted a Word doc into a PDF. There are highlighted spaces that needs to be modified. What do I have to do for only allowing modifications in the highlighted areas? Thanks in advance. Lori Kassuba10, 2014-02-27 27, 2014Hi Bruce Andrews,If your form does not have any existing form fields on it, the best way to fill it out would be to use the Add Text Comment command located under the Comment pane in Reader XI (not earlier version of Reader). Or, you can also use the tools found under the Sign pane to add text, checkmarks, and initials. Thanks, Lori Lori Kassuba10, 2014-02-27 27, 2014Hi K. D. G,As Toni mentions, all you need to do to reset your panels is to select the Customize dropdown (located in the top right corner) and choose Default tools. Thanks, Lori Bruce Andrews2, 2014-02-26 26, 2014I received a Adobe form and can’t fill it out on my pc. how do I convert so I can fill it out. I can read it and get the mark to the places on the form but when I type in a letter it does not come up. I have very little experience with Toni7, 2014-02-20 20, 2014Hi KDG, I was having the same problem this morning. I had the Content Editing window open and clicked on the customize drop down. Then I clicked default tools and everything popped up at the bottom as shown in the video. Hope this works for you. K. D. G1, 2014-01-28 28, 2014Has adobe “updated” Acrobat Pro XI?? All my tools have changed. I don’t have that side panel anymore with all of the options. It just suddenly changed or erased with the most recent update. (adobe acrobat automatically updates). I had to go in the “Custom” button, and add all of those buttons back, to the tool bar above at the top of the screen. But I still seem to be missing editing tools. For example the ones that are shown in the video tutorial above—I don’t have those anymore. Harry Hemus8, 2014-01-09 09, 2014Hi Lori I’ve just spotted this thread which seems more focused on the editing text and images tool within XI and not X. So I just wanted to pursue the original question I posed. Is it possible to use the new tool for editing multiple layered documents. Here is the link again to ONE page from a much larger projecthttps://www.dropbox.com/s/dihxnucbeekf68w/Multi_Layer_Edit_Test_for_Lori.pdf Lori Kassuba2, 2014-01-02 02, 2014Hi Rick H.,This depends on the program used to create the PDF. Is it Word? And if you’re using the reference capabilities of Word, you should be able to generate automatic hyperlinks in the resulting PDF. Lori Rick H.11, 2014-01-01 01, 2014I need help with Adobe Acrobat Pro 11. I have a Thesis I’m writing and trying to figure out if 11 has automatic numbering for Cites listed in my document. A little help please. Lori Kassuba3, 2013-12-26 26, 2013Hi Mitchell,Acrobat XI Pro. also comes with a form design tool called Formscentral that you can use to easily create brand new forms as well. Thanks, Lori Mitchell4, 2013-12-19 19, 2013My problem turned out to be that I was doing all my designing directly in Adobe Acrobat instead of first utilizing a preliminary means of designing my form (I ended up using Microsoft Word). Once I had the form layout all setup then I converted it to Adobe pdf and added the form fields I desired. I’m guessing that my initial attempt at designing the form left a bunch of “hidden” containers (visible if I looked at content view). Those “hidden” containers at times may have come to the foreground covering the text beneath it. Lori Kassuba3, 2013-12-19 19, 2013Hi Mitchell,Are you using a Mac? If so, make sure you’re not working with the form in Mac Preview. There is an issue in Preview where form data disappears—so always make sure you’re filling form out with Acrobat or Reader. Thanks, Lori Mitchell2, 2013-12-17 17, 2013I designed a form using Acrobat Pro XI version 11.0.4. I have been doing a lot of modifications to my form and have noticed from time to time characters started to disappear from some of my text annotations. What is causing this? Patty Friesen11, 2013-12-02 02, 2013Hi Gordin,Visit this page and select what you want to edit and then select “Reader XI.” You’ll be directed to a tutorial that will explain what steps you need to take to edit text using Reader:http://acrobatusers.com/startingpoints/how-to-edit-a-pdf Hope this helps.

I don’t have anything about how to do this in version 9 but I believe you might double-check if you have access to the feature mentioned in this tutorial: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-embed-fonts-in-a-pdf Thanks, Loridonna baker11, 2013-09-25 25, 2013Hi Craig -In Acrobat X you don’t have the same editing capabilities as you have in Acrobat XI, which is the software used in the video. In order to access the editing panel, you’d need to upgrade your software.donna. Phyllis9, 2013-09-24 24, 2013I want to translate a pdf file from English into Korean. I use Acrobat 9. When I tried to type in Korean using text editing tool, it says,“Some of the characters in the current font are not available, the missing characters will be replaced by place holder characters (maybe dots ‘.’). A work around to this is to select another font which contains the characters in the Touch Up Properties dialog.”Is there any way to change English text in PDF into Korean? Craig4, 2013-09-08 08, 2013Hi Donna. I am using Acrobat X Pro. How do I access the font drop down menu, so I can change fonts, sizes, colors, justification, etc. for an inserted text box? I am presented with an Edit Document Text tool, but I can determine how to get to the font information.donna baker7, 2013-09-03 03, 2013Hi Yvette -It isn’t necessary to upgrade your program in order to make edits. However, you are restricted in the type and extent of editing possible based on your program version. For example, in Acrobat 9 you don’t have access to the editing tools and features that are shown in the video. You can make changes using the Touch Up Text editing tool.donna. Yvette Dingwall12, 2013-08-26 26, 2013I created a document in Acrobat Pro 9 and now need to make changes. Is this possible to do without upgrading the software as I do not want to lose the formatting currently in the document….

From your description, it sounds like the Word spacing was set in the program, and not by using a specific font. For that reason, when you copy and paste, the features don’t convert and you’ll have the basic fonts again, probably using default substitute fonts in Reader.donna. Johanna11, 2013-06-25 25, 2013Hello!I have Adobe Reader XI and I’m trying to copy and paste a letter from Word to PDF. I scanned the letterhead and I’m adding the content; however, when I’m about to print, it automatically changes the spacing - it collapse. It seems that it converts it to a box. Is there a way to change this? Thank you!Johannadonna baker1, 2013-06-18 18, 2013Hi Livleen -You can select each paragraph in the document with the Edit Text and Images tool, then change the font. That will work, but takes a fair bit of time.

Gia8, 2013-06-04 04, 2013How do I edit pdf which I created and password protected..? I need to edit it and I cannot find anywhere a place to write my password and open the document for editing. Or do I really need to re-create this document from the beginning to be able to edit it ? Alan Wickstrom11, 2013-05-31 31, 2013I have a document that needs to be updated every year, so I went into last year’s pdf using acrobat XI and made all the changes. One of the changes is changing the year from 2012-13 to 2013-14. So, I did that and after I saved it, I opened the document back up and it says 2015-16. I changed it again and the same thing happened. So, then I just deleted it and typed in the entire year and century instead of just changing the year. I saved it and now it reads 4235/36. Why is this happening and what do I need to do to change it. Obviously, it has something to do with them being numerals.

Movement disorders

Movement disorders Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: Natalia Pavlova Definition Movement disorders are a group of diseases and syndromes affecting the ability to produce and control bodily movements. Description It seems simple and effortless, but normal movement requires an astonishingly complex system of control. Disruption of any portion of this system can cause a person to produce movements that are too weak, too forceful, too uncoordinated, or too poorly controlled for the task at hand. Unwanted movements may occur at rest. Intentional movement may become impossible. Such conditions are called movement disorders. Abnormal movements are symptoms of underlying disorders. In some cases, the abnormal movements are the only symptoms. Childhood disorders or conditions that may cause abnormal movements include:cerebral palsychoreoasthetosisencephalopathiesessential tremorinherited ataxias ( Friedreich's ataxia , Machado-Joseph disease, and spinocerebellar ataxias)multiple sclerosisparkinsonism and juvenile Parkinson's diseasepoisoning by carbon monoxide, cyanide, methanol, or manganesepsychogenic disordersrestless legs syndromespasticitystroke Tourette syndrome and other tic disorders Wilson disease Demographics The incidence rates and demographics vary for different types of movement disorders. Restless legs syndrome (RLS) affects approximately 12 million people in the United States. The disorder can affect males and females and can begin at any age, although it may become worse as a person gets older. The most common ataxia is Friedreich's ataxia; in the United States, it affects one in 50,000 people, both male and female. Causes and symptoms Causes Movement is produced and coordinated by several interacting brain centers, including the motor cortex, the cerebellum, and a group of structures in the inner portions of the brain called the basal ganglia. Sensory information provides critical input on the current position and velocity of body parts, and spinal nerve cells (neurons) help prevent opposing muscle groups from contracting at the same time. To understand how movement disorders occur, it is helpful to consider a normal voluntary movement, such as reaching to touch a nearby object with the right index finger. To accomplish the desired movement, the arm must be lifted and extended. The hand must be held out to align with the forearm, and the forefinger must be extended while the other fingers remain flexed. THE MOTOR CORTEX Voluntary motor commands begin in the motor cortex, located on the outer wrinkled surface of the brain. Movement of the right arm is begun by the left motor cortex, which generates a large volley of signals to the involved muscles. These electrical signals pass along upper motor neurons through the midbrain to the spinal cord. Within the spinal cord, they connect to lower motor neurons, which convey the signals out of the spinal cord to the surface of the muscles involved. Electrical stimulation of the muscles causes contraction, and the force of contraction pulling on the skeleton causes movement of the arm, hand, and fingers. Damage to or death of any of the neurons along this path causes weakness or paralysis of the affected muscles. ANTAGONISTIC MUSCLE PAIRS The previous description of movement is too simple, however. One important refinement to it comes from considering the role of opposing, or antagonistic, muscle pairs. Contraction of the biceps muscle, located on the top of the upper arm, pulls on the forearm to flex the elbow and bend the arm. Contraction of the triceps, located on the opposite side, extends the elbow and straightens the arm. Within the spine, these muscles are normally wired so that willed (voluntary) contraction of one is automatically accompanied by blocking of the other. In other words, the command to contract the biceps provokes another command within the spine to prevent contraction of the triceps. In this way, these antagonist muscles are kept from resisting one another. Spinal cord or brain injury can damage this control system and cause involuntary simultaneous contraction and spasticity, an increase in resistance to movement during motion. THE CEREBELLUM Once the movement of the arm is initiated, sensory information is needed to guide the finger to its precise destination. In addition to sight, the most important source of information comes from the "position sense" provided by the many sensory neurons located within the limbs (proprioception). Proprioception is what allows a person to touch a finger to his or her nose, even with eyes closed. The balance organs in the ears provide important information about posture. Both postural and proprioceptive information are processed by a structure at the rear of the brain called the cerebellum. The cerebellum sends out electrical signals to modify movements as they progress, "sculpting" the barrage of voluntary commands into a tightly controlled, constantly evolving pattern. Cerebellar disorders cause inability to control the force, fine positioning, and speed of movements (ataxia). Disorders of the cerebellum may also impair the ability to judge distance so that a person under- or over-reaches the target (dysmetria). Tremor during voluntary movements can also result from cerebellar damage. THE BASAL GANGLIA Both the cerebellum and the motor cortex send information to a set of structures deep within the brain that help control involuntary components of movement (basal ganglia). The basal ganglia send output messages to the motor cortex, helping to initiate movements, regulate repetitive or patterned movements, and control muscle tone. Circuits within the basal ganglia are complex. Within this structure, some groups of cells begin the action of other basal ganglia components and some groups of cells block the action. These complicated feedback circuits are not entirely understood. Disruptions of these circuits are known to cause several distinct movement disorders. A portion of the basal ganglia called the substantia nigra sends electrical signals that block output from another structure called the subthalamic nucleus. The subthalamic nucleus sends signals to the globus pallidus, which in turn blocks the thalamic nuclei. Finally, the thalamic nuclei send signals to the motor cortex. The substantia nigra, then, begins movement and the globus pallidus blocks it. This complicated circuit can be disrupted at several points. Disruptions in other portions of the basal ganglia are thought to cause tics , tremors, dystonia, and a variety of other movement disorders, although the exact mechanisms are not well understood. Some movement disorders, including Huntington's disease and inherited ataxias, are caused by inherited genetic defects. Some diseases that cause sustained muscle contraction limited to a particular muscle group (focal dystonia) are inherited, but others are caused by trauma. The cause of most cases of Parkinson's disease is unknown, although genes have been found for some familial forms. Symptoms Abnormal movements are broadly classified as either hyperkinetic (too much movement) and hypokinetic (too little movement). Hyperkinetic movements include: Dystonia—sustained muscle contractions, often causing twisting or repetitive movements and abnormal postures. Dystonia may be limited to one area (focal) or may affect the whole body (general). Focal dystonias may affect the neck ( cervical dystonia or torticollis); the face (one-sided or hemifacial spasm, contraction of the eyelid or blepharospasm, contraction of the mouth and jaw or oromandibular dystonia, simultaneous spasm of the chin and eyelid or Meige syndrome); the vocal cords ( laryngeal dystonia ); or the arms and legs (writer's cramp or occupational cramps). Dystonia may be painful as well as incapacitating. Tremor—uncontrollable (involuntary) shaking of a body part. Tremor may occur only when muscles are relaxed or only during an action or while holding an active posture. Tics—involuntary, rapid, non-rhythmic movement or sound. Tics can be controlled briefly. Myoclonus—a sudden, brief, jerky, shock-like involuntary muscle contraction. Myoclonic jerks may occur singly or repetitively. Unlike tics, myoclonus cannot be controlled even briefly. Spasticity—an abnormal increase in muscle tone. It may be associated with involuntary muscle spasms , sustained muscle contractions, and exaggerated deep tendon reflexes that make movement difficult or uncontrollable. Chorea—rapid, non-rhythmic, uncontrolled jerky movements, most often in the arms and legs. Chorea also may affect the hands, feet, trunk, neck, and face. Choreoathetosis is a syndrome of continuous random movements that usually occur at rest and may appear to be fidgety, dancing, or writhing. Ballism—like chorea, but the movements are much larger, more explosive and involve more of the arm or leg. This condition, also called ballismus, can occur on both sides of the body or on one side only (hemiballismus). Akathisia—restlessness and a desire to move to relieve uncomfortable sensations. Sensations may include a feeling of crawling, itching , stretching, or creeping, usually in the legs. Athetosis—slow, writhing, continuous, uncontrollable movement of the arms and legs. Hypokinetic movements include: Bradykinesia—extreme slowness and stiffness of movement. Freezing—inability to begin a movement or involuntary stopping of a movement before it is completed. Rigidity—an increase in muscle tension when an arm or leg is moved by an outside force. Postural instability—loss of the ability to maintain upright posture caused by slow or absent righting reflexes. Diagnosis Diagnosis of movement disorders requires a careful medical history and a thorough physical and neurological examination. The medical history helps the physician evaluate the presence of other conditions or disorders that might contribute to or cause the disorder. Records of previous diagnoses, surgeries, and treatments are reviewed. The child's family medical history is evaluated to determine if there is a history of muscular or neurological disorders. Genetic testing is available for some forms of movement disorders. The physical and neurological exams may include an evaluation of the child's motor reflexes, including muscle tone, mobility, strength, balance, and endurance; heart and lung function; cranial nerve function; and an examination of the child's abdomen, spine, throat, and ears. The child's height, weight, and blood pressure also are checked and recorded. Routine blood and urine analyses are performed. Brain imaging studies are usually performed. Imaging techniques include computed tomography scan (CT scan), positron emission tomography (PET), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. A lumbar puncture (spinal tap) may be necessary. Video recording of the abnormal movement is often used to analyze movement patterns and track progress of the disorder and its treatment. Other tests may include x rays of the spine and hips or diagnostic blocks with local anesthetics to provide information on the effectiveness of potential treatments. To aid diagnosis, a multi-disciplinary team may be consulted so the proper treatment can be planned. Occupational and physical therapy evaluations may be helpful to determine upper and lower extremity movement patterns and passive range of motion. In some cases, nerve conduction studies with electromyography of the affected muscles may be performed to evaluate the child's muscular activity and provide a comprehensive assessment of nerve and muscle function. In both tests, the examiner uses a computer, monitor, amplifier, loudspeaker, stimulator, and high-tech filters to see and hear how the muscles and nerves are responding during the test. In the nerve conduction study, small electrodes are placed on the skin over the muscles to be examined. A stimulator delivers a very small electrical current (that does not cause damage to the body) through the electrodes, causing the nerves to fire. In the electromyogram, a very thin, sterilized needle is inserted into various muscles. The needle is attached by wires to a recording machine. The patient is asked to relax and contract the muscles being examined. The electrical signals produced by the nerves and muscles during these tests are measured and recorded by a computer and displayed as electrical waves on the monitor. The test results are interpreted by a specially trained physician. An EEG ( electroencephalogram ) may be performed to detect seizures, analyze general brain functioning, and measure brain activity associated with movement or sensation. This test measures the electrical signals from the brain. Surface electrodes attached to the scalp measure voltages in the brain. The electrical activity can be measured while the child is resting or, in some cases, when the child is moving. An evoked potentials study may be part of the EEG test. Evoked potentials record the response of the brain to a sensory, visual, or auditory stimulus. Treatment Treatment of a movement disorder begins with a proper diagnostic evaluation. Treatment options include physical and occupational therapies, medications, surgery, or a combination of these treatments. The goals of treatment are to increase the child's comfort, decrease pain , ease mobility, help with activities of daily living such as hygiene, ease rehabilitation procedures, and prevent or decrease the risk of developing a joint contracture. The type of treatment recommended will depend upon the severity of the disorder; the child's overall health; the potential benefits, limitations, and side effects of the treatment; and the impact of the treatment on the child's quality of life. Clinicians should work with the child and parents or caregivers to develop an individual treatment plan. Specific treatment goals will vary from one person to the next. Treatment should be provided by a movement disorders specialist or specially trained pediatric neurologist and a multi-disciplinary team of specialists that may include a physiatrist, physical therapist, occupational therapist, gait and movement specialists, social worker, and surgical specialists as applicable, such as a pediatric orthopedic surgeon or pediatric neurosurgeon. In some cases, treatment is not recommended or desired, because it would actually interfere with the patient's current mobility and it would not improve function. For example, some people with multiple sclerosis who experience significant leg weakness find that spasticity makes their legs more rigid, helping them to stand, transfer to a chair or bed, or walk. Physical and occupational therapies Physical therapy includes stretching exercises, muscle group strengthening exercises, and range of motion exercises to prevent muscles from shortening (contracture), preserve flexibility and range of motion, and reduce the severity of symptoms. Exercises should be practiced daily, as recommended by the physical therapist. Prolonged stretching can lengthen muscles, and strengthening exercises can restore the proper strength to affected muscles. Aquatic therapy also may be recommended, since there is less stress on the body when in the water. A physical therapist can instruct the patient on proper posture guidelines. Proper posture is critical, especially while sitting and sleeping, to maintain proper alignment of the hips and back. Balancing rest and exercise is also important. Occupational therapy may include splints, casts, or braces on the affected arm or leg to enable proper limb positioning, and maintain flexibility and range of motion. The therapy may include training for proper limb positioning while seated in a wheelchair or lying in bed. Physical and occupational therapists can provide guidelines on how to adapt the child's environment to ensure safety and comfort. Medications Medications can help compensate for some imbalances of the basal ganglionic circuit. Drugs to treat movement disorders include oral medications, injected medications, and continuous delivery medications. These medications work by preventing nerves from signaling the muscles to contract, thereby preventing muscle contractions. If treatment with a single medicine fails to effectively treat the disorder, a different medicine may be tried or an additional medicine may be prescribed. The most important medication guidelines are to ensure that the child takes the medication exactly as prescribed, and to never discontinue any medication without first talking to the child's doctor, even if the medication does not seem to be working or is causing unwanted side effects. ORAL MEDICATIONS Baclofen (Lioresal) is a muscle relaxant that works on nerves in the spinal cord to reduce spasticity. The benefits of baclofen include decreased stretch reflexes, improved passive range of motion, and reduced muscle spasms, pain, and tightness. Side effects include drowsiness and sedation, as well as weakness, decreased muscle tone, confusion, fatigue, nausea , and dizziness . Baclofen should not be taken with central nervous system depressants or alcohol. Levodopa (L-dopa) is a medication that is converted to dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is a chemical that aids in the transmission of nerve signals. Sinemet is a combination medication containing levodopa and carbidopa. Carbidopa enables L-dopa to be converted to dopamine after the L-dopa enters the brain, thereby lowering the oral dose and decreasing side effects. Side effects include nausea, diarrhea , and low blood pressure. Anticholinergics, including trihexyphenidyl (Artane) and benztropine (Benztrop MES, Cogentin ), block acetylcholine receptors in the brain. Acetylcholine receptors are integral proteins that respond to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine by opening a pathway in the membrane for ion diffusion across the cell membrane. Side effects include dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation , urinary retention, and rapid heart rate. These side effects are usually much less frequent in children than adults; therefore, much higher doses are usually prescribed in children. Benzodiazepines, such as diazepam (Valium), clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril), and lorazepam (Ativan) act on the central nervous system to improve passive range of motion, reduce muscle overactivity and painful spasms, and provide overall relaxation. These medications are often taken at night because they cause drowsiness, but they also can relieve muscle spasms that interrupt sleep . Side effects include unsteadiness, loss of strength, low blood pressure, gastrointestinal symptoms, memory problems, confusion, and behavioral problems. Dantrolene sodium (Dantrium) acts on the muscles to directly interfere with the chemistry of the muscle contraction. It is generally used when other medications are not effective. Benefits may include improved passive movement, decreased muscle tone, and reduced muscle spasms, tightness, and pain. Side effects include generalized weakness—including weakness of the respiratory muscles—as well as drowsiness, fatigue, diarrhea, and sensitivity to the sun. Liver problems may occur with this medication, and frequent lab tests are performed to evaluate liver function. Tizanidine (Zanaflex) acts on the central nervous system. It does not usually cause reduced muscle strength. The most common side effect is sedation, and other side effects include low blood pressure, dry mouth, dizziness, and hallucinations. Liver problems may occur with this medication, and frequent lab tests are performed to evaluate liver function. A variety of other medications may be used to treat movement disorders, including antiepileptic drugs that stimulate GABA receptors in the brain's basal ganglia; neuroleptics that block dopamine D2-like receptors; Clonidine (Catapres) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs, such as fluoxetine, commonly known as Prozac) for the treatment of tics; and channel modulators that affect the behavior of channels that transport small molecules such as potassium, sodium, or calcium across cell membranes. INJECTED MEDICATIONS Botulinum-toxin type A (Botox, Dysport) or type B (Myobloc) is injected locally into the affected muscle group to relax the muscles in dystonia or spasticity. It works by preventing nerves from sending signals to the muscles that cause them to contract. Although the treatment takes one to two weeks to reach its full effectiveness, the beneficial effects last three to four months. Botulinum-toxin allows more normal limb positioning and improved mobility. In some patients, the injections also decrease pain. Injections may be used to make casting easier, ease the adjustment of a new brace, or delay surgery. Botulinum-toxin is made by the bacteria that cause botulism . However, the amount of botulinum-toxin injected to treat spasticity is such a small amount that it would not cause botulism poisoning. This treatment is very safe, and the injections can be given in a doctor's office without the use of sedation or anesthesia. Injections can be repeated, but should be spaced from three to six months apart to avoid exceeding the recommended dose. Botulinum-toxin injections may be used in combination with other treatments. Botulinum-toxin injections are typically expensive and may not be covered by insurance. A Reimbursement Hotline established by Allergan, the manufacturer of Botox, is a resource for reimbursement questions: (800) 530-6680 or online at http://www.botox.com. Elan, the manufacturer of Myobloc, also has resources available to answer questions about reimbursement. Interested persons may call (888) 461-2255 or go online at http://www.elan.com. Alcohol and phenol are injected in combination, but are less common treatments. The medications are injected directly onto nerves that supply spastic muscles to destroy them. The injections cut off the signals to those muscles, allowing them to relax. This treatment may be used to treat spasticity in larger muscle groups closer to the trunk, such as the thigh muscles. Although this treatment is generally less expensive than botulinum-toxin injections, there are more serious side effects. Short-term medications such as lidocaine, a local anesthetic, can be used to assess the potential benefit of botulinum-toxin or alcohol and phenol injections. CONTINUOUS DELIVERY MEDICATIONS Baclofen usually is taken as an oral medication but also can be delivered directly into the spinal fluid when the oral medication does not effectively control symptoms. An intrathecal baclofen delivery system, surgically placed by a neurosurgeon, continuously releases prescribed amounts of baclofen in small doses directly into the spinal fluid via a small catheter and pump. This type of delivery system causes fewer and less severe side effects than the oral baclofen. Pump refills and medication adjustments are generally made once every two to three months after the initial dosage is established. The pump system lasts from three to five years, at which time it needs to be replaced. Surgery Surgery is only recommended when all other treatments have been tried and have not effectively controlled the child's symptoms. Selective dorsal rhizotomy surgery, also called selective posterior rhizotomy, involves a surgical resection of part of the spinal nerve. By cutting the sensory nerve rootlets that cause the spasticity, muscle stiffness is decreased while other functions are maintained. Potential benefits of this surgical procedure include pain relief, reduced spasticity to improve walking or aid sitting in a wheelchair, increased ability to bend at the waist, and improved use of the hands. Sometimes rhizotomy results in improved breathing and better control of the arms, legs, and head. Thalamotomy is a surgical procedure used to destroy part of the thalamus, which is thought to produce abnormal brain activity that causes tremor. Pallidotomy is a surgical procedure used to destroy part of the globus pallidus, which is thought to become overactive with certain disorders, such as Parkinson's disease. Although effective, these surgeries have significant risks, including paralysis, loss of vision, or loss of speech if the precise location of the brain is not targeted during surgery. With the advent of a less invasive approach called deep brain stimulation, these surgeries have become less common. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a way to inactivate the parts of the brain thought to cause overactivity or tremor in certain muscles, without destroying a part of the brain. It is currently a treatment option for adult patients with Parkinson's disease, but research is underway to determine if the procedure can benefit children with movement disorders. During the DBS procedure, an electrode placed in a precise area of the brain delivers small, electrical shocks to interrupt the abnormal brain activity that leads to symptoms. The electrode has four metal contacts that can be used in different combinations. A few patients may have stimulators implanted on both sides of the brain, but this increases the risk for complications. The electrode is connected by a wire to a pacemaker-like device implanted under the skin in the chest. This device generates the electrical shocks. The electrical stimulation can be adjusted as the patient's condition progresses over time, and the stimulator can be turned off in the event that other beneficial therapies, such as brain cell transplantation, are performed. Orthopedic surgery may be performed to correct a contracture. During contracture release surgery, the tendon of a contractured muscle is cut, the joint repositioned to a more normal angle, and a cast is applied. Regrowth of the tendon to this new length occurs over several weeks following surgery. After the cast is removed, physical therapy can help strengthen the muscles and improve range of motion. This procedure is most commonly performed on the Achilles tendon but may also be performed on the knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, and wrists. Tendon transfer surgery is another technique to treat contractures. During this procedure, the tendon attached to a spastic muscle is cut and transferred to a different site, preventing the muscle from being pulled into an abnormal position. The disadvantages of these orthopedic procedures are that they are irreversible and they may need to be repeated. Other orthopedic surgeries that may accompany contracture release surgery include osteotomy, in which a small wedge is removed from a bone to allow repositioning. A cast is applied while the bone heals in a more natural position. Osteotomy is more commonly performed on the bones in the hips or feet. Arthrodesis is a fusing of bones that normally move independently, to limit the ability of a spastic muscle to pull the joint into an abnormal position. Arthrodesis is more commonly performed on the bones in the ankle. Other treatments Transplantation of fetal cells into the basal ganglia has produced mixed results in Parkinson's disease and is being researched for application in other movement disorders. Brief application (about 10 minutes) of cold packs to spastic muscles may help ease pain and improve function for a short period of time. Electrical stimulation may be used to stimulate a weak muscle to counteract the action of a stronger, spastic muscle. Alternative treatment Alternative and complementary therapies include approaches that are considered to be outside the mainstream of traditional health care. Among the therapies that may be helpful are acupuncture, homeopathy, touch therapies, postural alignment therapies, and biofeedback. The progress made will depend on the individual and his or her condition. Biofeedback training may be used to teach the patient how to consciously reduce muscle tension. Biofeedback uses an electrical signal that indicates when a spastic muscle relaxes. The patient may be able to use biofeedback to learn how to consciously reduce muscle tension and possibly reduce symptoms. Coenzyme Q10 supplements may be beneficial, as some people with movement disorders may have low levels of this substance. Coenzyme Q10 is a natural substance produced by the body that transports electrons during cellular respiration, or the process in which cells get their energy from oxygen. Initial trials of cannabinoids, the active ingredient in marijuana, have shown promise in the treatment of muscle stiffness and limb straightening associated with multiple sclerosis. Further research is needed to determine the beneficial effects of marijuana-derived substances on neuromuscular symptoms associated with movement disorders. Researchers caution that smoking marijuana is dangerous, especially since there may be other harmful substances mixed in with the illegal drug. Before learning or practicing any particular technique, it is important for the parent or caregiver and child to learn about the therapy, its safety and effectiveness, potential side effects, and the expertise and qualifications of the practitioner. Although some practices are beneficial, others may be harmful to certain patients. Alternative therapies should not be used as a substitute for medical therapies prescribed by a doctor. Parents should discuss these alternative treatments with the child's doctor to determine the techniques and remedies that may be beneficial for the child. Nutritional concerns Dietary guidelines are individualized, based on the child's age, diagnosis, overall health, severity of disability, and level of functioning. Specific nutritional problems, such as swallowing or feeding difficulties, may be a concern in some patients and should be managed by a team of specialists, including a speech therapist. Early identification, treatment, and correction of specific feeding problems will improve the health and nutritional status of the patient. A well-balanced and carefully planned diet will help maintain general good health for people with movement disorders. Specialists recommend that people with multiple sclerosis and other movement disorders adhere to the same low-fat, high fiber diet that is recommended for the general population. A diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables will ensure adequate intake of antioxidants, substances that help protect against free radical damage. Children with movement disorders may have different energy needs, depending on their condition. One study indicated that ambulatory and non-ambulatory adolescents with cerebral palsy had decreased energy needs compared with a control group of normal adolescents. Therefore, a child's specific calorie needs should be evaluated by a registered dietitian who can work with the parents to develop an individualized meal plan. The child's weight should be obtained once a week or at least once a month to determine if caloric intake is adequate. A child's self-feeding skills can impact his or her health outcome. One study indicated that 90 percent of children with good to fair motor and feeding skills reached adulthood. In contrast, a lack of self-feeding skills was associated with a six-fold increase in mortality (rate of death). Maintaining a healthy weight is important to prevent the development of chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure ( hypertension ), and heart disease. Tube feedings may be required in some patients with failure to thrive , aspiration pneumonia , difficulty swallowing, or an inability to ingest adequate calories orally to maintain nutritional status or promote growth. Prognosis The prognosis for a patient with a movement disorder depends on the specific disorder. There is no cure for movement disorders. However, they can be well-managed with the proper combination of physical and occupational therapies, medication, and surgery. The long-term outlook depends on the severity of the disorder. Prevention Prevention depends on the specific disorder. Parental concerns Parents should work closely with the child's therapists and doctors to create an effective treatment plan. It is important for parents to communicate their treatment goals with the health care team. Parents should take an active role in the child's exercise program and help the child practice the exercises, as prescribed, every day. There are many tips to make the home and school environments safer for a child with a movement disorder. An occupational therapist can work with parents to assess the home environment and provide resources for KEY TERMSActive motion —Spontaneous; produced by active efforts. Active range of motion exercises are those that are performed by the patient without assistance. Activities of daily living (ADL) —The activities performed during the course of a normal day, for example, eating, bathing, dressing, toileting, etc. Acupuncture —Based on the same traditional Chinese medical foundation as acupressure, acupuncture uses sterile needles inserted at specific points to treat certain conditions or relieve pain. Anoxia —Lack of oxygen. Ataxia —A condition marked by impaired muscular coordination, most frequently resulting from disorders in the brain or spinal cord. Autonomic nervous system —The part of the nervous system that controls so-called involuntary functions, such as heart rate, salivary gland secretion, respiratory function, and pupil dilation.

Orthopedist —A doctor specializing in treatment of the musculoskeletal system. Parkinsonism —A set of symptoms originally associated with Parkinson disease that can occur as side effects of neuroleptic medications. The symptoms include trembling of the fingers or hands, a shuffling gait, and tight or rigid muscles. Parkinson's disease —A slowly progressive disease that destroys nerve cells in the basal ganglia and thus causes loss of dopamine, a chemical that aids in transmission of nerve signals (neurotransmitter). Parkinson's is characterized by shaking in resting muscles, a stooping posture, slurred speech, muscular stiffness, and weakness. Passive movement —Movement that occurs under the power of an outside source such as a clinician. There is no voluntary muscular contraction by the individual who is being passively moved. Periodic limb movement disorder —A disorder characterized by involuntary flexion of leg muscles, causing twitching and leg extension or kicking during sleep. Peripheral nerves —Nerves outside the brain and spinal cord that provide the link between the body and the central nervous system. Physiatrist —A physician who specializes in physical medicine and rehabilitation. Physical therapist —A healthcare provider who teaches patients how to perform therapeutic exercises to maintain maximum mobility and range of motion. Positron emission tomography (PET) —A computerized diagnostic technique that uses radioactive substances to examine structures of the body. When used to assess the brain, it produces a three-dimensional image that shows anatomy and function, including such information as blood flow, oxygen consumption, glucose metabolism, and concentrations of various molecules in brain tissue. Progressive supranuclear palsy —A rare disease that gradually destroys nerve cells in the parts of the brain that control eye movements, breathing, and muscle coordination. The loss of nerve cells causes palsy, or paralysis, that slowly gets worse as the disease progresses. The palsy affects ability to move the eyes, relax the muscles, and control balance. Also called Steele-Richardson-Olszewski syndrome. Psychogenic disorders —A variety of unusual, involuntary movements that occur in children with psychiatric disorders or in response to anxiety, stress, depression, anger, or grief. Psychogenic movements are thought to represent the physical expression of an intolerable mental conflict. Range of motion (ROM) —The range of motion of a joint from full extension to full flexion (bending) measured in degrees like a circle. Restless legs syndrome (RLS) —A disorder in which the patient experiences crawling, aching, or other disagreeable sensations in the calves that can be relieved by movement. RLS is a frequent cause of difficulty falling asleep at night. Rigidity —A constant resistance to passive motion. Scissoring —Involuntary crossing of the legs. Spinal cord injury —Injury to the spinal cord, via blunt or penetrating trauma. Stroke —Interruption of blood flow to a part of the brain with consequent brain damage. A stroke may be caused by a blood clot or by hemorrhage due to a burst blood vessel. Also known as a cerebrovascular accident. Tourette syndrome —A neurological disorder characterized by multiple involuntary movements and uncontrollable vocalizations called tics that come and go over years, usually beginning in childhood and becoming chronic. Sometimes the tics include inappropriate or obscene language (coprolalia). Wilson disease —A rare, inherited disorder that causes excess copper to accumulate in the body. Steadily increasing amounts of copper circulating in the blood are deposited primarily in the brain, liver, kidneys, and the cornea of the eyes. It can cause psychiatric symptoms resembling schizophrenia.adaptive equipment that may be helpful. Some of these tips include: All throw rugs should be removed unless they are firmly attached to the floor. There must be proper lighting. Nightlights should be placed along key pathways of the home. The top and bottom of stairs should be highlighted with a contrasting color or texture to distinguish them. The floor should be free of clutter, to prevent tripping or falling. Handrails should be installed, especially along stairways and in the bathroom. All electrical cords and other cords should be kept out of the way. Raising a child with a movement disorder can be challenging. Support groups are available to provide information and assistance. See also Tics ; Tourette syndrome .

Marilyn Monroe Was Out of Her Element in The River of No Return

Marilyn Monroe Was Out of Her Element in The River of No Return Posted by10 years ago Marilyn Monroe thought her role as Kay, the saloon singer, in the River of No Return was too much a stereotype for her to play. She didn’t like the script, either. But Monroe wasn’t being a prima donna — director Otto Preminger disliked the story and wanted out, too. Contractually obliged to take the role, the part required Monroe to sing four songs, and strum the guitar in one scene. Singing, acting and playing had to be daunting for an actress who was trapped in the Hollywood star system and already had her doubts about her abilities. When she sits atop that barroom honky-tonk piano to sing the movie’s title tune, you can sense Monroe doesn’t want to be there. Still, her rendition of the two-minute song is bluesy, steamy and emotional. The shoot became increasingly difficult for Monroe, who was required to do her own stunts in the action-packed western. The script called for gunfights, horse riding and a harrowing escape through river rapids on a raft. Having already twisted her ankle, Monroe again rued taking the role during those raft scenes. She nearly drowned in the river when her boots filled with water. And it wasn’t the only time she skirted danger on the shoot: When their raft overturned filming another scene, she and Robert Mitchum had to be pulled from the rushing white water. And yet, the movie was a resounding success once it hit theaters in the spring of 1954. See the full adventure for yourself. For a complete schedule of River of No Return on AMC, click here.

Earnings | AVON Earnings

Earnings | AVON Earnings AVON Earnings – how much do you want to earn? Most people join AVON to earn money. I thought it would be useful to create a quick AVON Earnings table. This means that you are able to plan your own AVON earnings by quickly looking at the table. Remember these earnings are CASH earnings as you keep the representative discount earnings from what your customers have paid you after you have paid AVON. AVON Earnings Table Simply look down the right hand column to work out what you want to earn – and work across to find out how many ordering customers you need. If you want to increase your earnings, simply find more customers. Also, if you want to increase your earnings, why not look at AVON Sales Leadership. This is just finding and showing others how to earn money by being an AVON representative in your team. AVON Earnings Chart I have made the following assumptions: The average customer spend is £10 – this is my personal average and other people’s averages will vary. Earnings levels are – 20% over £80 spend and 25% over £150 spend. These earnings/orders are every 3 weeks. Sarah’s Top Tip to increase AVON Earnings Use this chart as a planning tool – if you need to get more customers (earn more money) then you can order more brochures and make a plan to find more customers either by re-canvassing territory or increasing your network customer base. The more brochures you have (and use) the more potential customers and orders you will have. You can also try to increase your average customer spend by perhaps running a promotion or including a newsletter. This will push up your total order value from your existing customers and thus will push up your AVON earnings.

Heatherly, Valdosta State University Follow Author Biography Michael C. Heatherly is a doctoral student in Public Administration at Valdosta State University. He is a police officer in Tulsa, Oklahoma with nine years of law enforcement experience. Prior to entering law enforcement, he served as a US Marine infantryman in Operation Enduring Freedom, Afghanistan. DOIhttp://dx.doi.org/10.5038/1944-0472.7.4.3Subject Area Keywords Homeland security, Law enforcement, National security Abstract One of the most enduring problems confronted by a free society is the method through which law and order are maintained. There is an inherent tradeoff between freedom and the preservation of order through the construct and enforcement of laws. These attributes alone could be the subject of great debate. However, the United States and many other modern nations are experiencing a proliferation of technology that greatly enhances the sensory and capabilities of the user. If that user is the government, the debate over apparent intrusions into the lives of private citizens is amplified. The questions examined by this article are; should advanced technologies be used by law enforcement agencies? Is the government overstepping their Constitutional constraints by employing advanced technologies? Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages of the uses of such technologies?

Apple Watch will take 150 minutes to charge fully

Apple Watch will take 150 minutes to charge fully Kif Leswing Mar 9, 2015 - 12:59 PM CDT3 Comments Credit: Stephen Lam/Getty Images Tweet Share Post We won’t get to test battery life for the Apple Watch until it lands on wrists starting on April 24 . CEO Tim Cook didn’t go into much battery detail at the Apple Watch keynote, merely promising “all-day battery life,” which apparently means 18 hours, according to Cook. But Apple posted a helpful page on its site shortly after the event, detailing what you can expect from Apple Watch’s little battery. Surprise: Its battery life varies widely based on what you’re asking it to do. The “all-day” claim was tested on a prototype device using 90 time checks and 90 notifications over 18 hours, or about every six minutes. It also took into account 45 minutes on an app, and a 30-minute workout. This is also the first time that Apple has publicly estimated how many times you’ll look at an Apple Watch per day — about every five minutes. When you reach for Apple’s magnetic inductive charger, it should be able to top off your watch’s battery up to 80 percent in 90 minutes, and fully charge it in two-and-a-half hours. Apple also noted that the 42mm Apple Watches generally experiences longer battery life than the 38mm models. If you’re using the device intensely, you can expect battery life to decrease. For instance, you’ll only be able to squeeze three hours of talking out of an Apple Watch, and 6.5 hours of using it as an i Pod while listening to music through Bluetooth headphones. You’ll also need to wrap up your run in under seven hours before the battery gives out. Tests on competing Android Wear smartwatches, which also need daily charging, have generally been close to Apple’s estimates. Ars Technica tested the LG G Watch’s battery and found it lasted just under 24 hours with normal usage — which might not be the same amount of usage as Apple’s tests. But if you’re just using Apple Watch as a, well, watch, you can expect to eke out more time without a trip back to the charger. If you check your watch every 12 minutes, you can expect two days of battery life. If you turn on Power Reserve mode, you can eke out 72 hours. Apple’s battery predictions tend to be on the mark; it doesn’t usually exaggerate how long you can work on one of its products. So — expect to get a full day of moderate usage out of your Apple smartwatch, as long as your day only has 18 hours.

Given the price point, it’d be a little rich if we have to invest in wearables every year because they can’t keep up with our usage within 12 months, innit?

I have heard that the speed of light is absolute. But, what about if you are (theoretically) traveling at the speed of light, will light be going the speed of light faster than that? Why is the speed of light absolute, how does it work out? Question Date: 2008-01-26Answer 1: Even if you're traveling at 99.9999999% of the speed of light, you will still find that light travels exactly at C, relative to you. The reason you don't measure light traveling at 2*C is that your measuring tools are measuring something different than when you're standing still. We measure speed as distance divided by time, like miles per hour, or meters per second. The astonishing thing about the universe (as discovered by Einstein) is that both "distance" and "time" are variable. If I was holding a 1 meter long stick and traveling past you at 1/2 of the speed of light, my "meter" stick would appear to be just 0.75 meters long to you. The same thing happens to time: 1 second to me will be longer than 1 second to you. So the "speed" of light is constant because both "meters" and "seconds" change. If you could actually travel exactly *at* the speed of light, then there's no way to measure anything at all, because time has totally stopped for you. No time would pass at all. You are frozen and will not change forever, or at least not until you slow down. If you could magically travel along with a photon of light from the moment it was generated until the moment it was absorbed, the universe would simply seem to instantly change for you. It would seem like it was instantly replaced. You would not notice--or even be able to measure--anything along the way, even if the photon traveled for millions of "years" as they would be measured by a stationary observer. The old joke asks: What happens if you're driving at the speed of light and you turn your headlights on? The answer is: You can't, because if you're traveling *at* the speed of light, you won't move, breathe, or think, much less reach for a switch. You and your car will simply fly across the universe in a state of suspended animation. Of course, if you're traveling at any speed less than C, then it's not that special. Your headlights will still emit light that travels exactly at C--both for you and for the rest of the universe. As for your last question, I don't actually know why the speed of light is a constant in the universe. I'm not sure anybody does. It's one of those questions waiting for a bright young student to come up with a new idea, and test whether that idea matches experimental observations. Answer 2: One way to get a better insight on this problem would be to play around with one very useful formula relating to the relativity of speed:u = (u'+v)/ (1+u' v)This equation lets you find u, the velocity of an object relative to a frame of reference S (for example 'stationary' Earth), given u', the velocity of the same object, relative to another frame of reference S' (for example a flying airplane), and v, the velocity with which S' moves relative to S (in this example the velocity of the airplane relative to Earth). To keep the math simple, this equation assumes that motion is only in one dimension and that all velocities are given as a fraction of the speed of light so that if say, an object moves at half the speed of light, then its velocity would be numerically equal to 0.5. This means that if you are using m/s, ft/s mph or ( why not?) knots, you need to first translate that as a fraction of the speed of light. Example: Say an airplane is flying at 575mph relative to Earth (typical airliner). If you divide this speed by that of light (around 671 000 000 mph!) then v would be equal to 0.000 000 857 (or 8.57 -7 if you are familiar with computer notation for very large or very small numbers). Now imagine someone at the back of the airplane throws a pillow toward the front with a speed of say, 15mph (that's relative to the airplane). Then u' would equal 0.000 000 022 4 (you do the math, as they say, bearing in mind that my results are rounded to three figures). If you use our magic formula above (you will need a scientific calculator given such small numbers) you'll get u = 0.000 000 879 which translates, after multiplying by the speed of light, to a pillow moving at 590 mph relative to Earth. But wait, isn't this simply the sum of 575 mph and 15 mph? It is in indeed; that's what you would expect and what Galileo already knew almost 400 years ago! This is what is known as Galilean relativity; the idea that motion is relative to the frame of reference you use to measure velocities or speeds. Now, the difference between the relativity theory of Galileo and that of Einstein (where our magic equation belongs) is only apparent when you are moving REALLY fast. So... let's run another... Example: Say you are in a spaceship and you launch a shuttle at one-half the speed of light relative to you (you are reference frame S and the shuttle is reference frame S') so that v = 0.5. Now the shuttle launches a probe in the same direction of travel, at one-half the speed of light relative to the shuttle. If you asked Galileo, he would tell you that the probe will travel with the speed of light relative to you ( 0.5 + 0.5 = 1 ), however, if you use the formula above, Einstein will tell you that the probe will travel at 'only' 0.8 times the speed of light relative to the spaceship (again, try to get that number on your own). You ask in what sense is the speed of light absolute, so let's do some algebra with our equation. Imagine you are traveling with speed v relative to Earth, say. If you light a flashlight in front of you, the beam of light will travel with a speed u' equal to 1 (of course) so if we now substitute 1 for u' we get:u = (1+v)/ (1+v)but this simplifies to u = 1 !!! This means that relative to Earth, that beam of light you emitted will travel also with the speed of light. It is in this sense that the speed of light is absolute, (and yet we call it "Relativity Theory", right? ). Please note that the previous simplification is valid for ANY value of v, no matter how fast, including v = 1 (you traveling with the speed of light). In this last case however, other parts of the theory brake down when you try to calculate things in a reference frame that moves with the speed of light relative to some valid reference frame. On the other hand, from a physical point of view, it would take an infinite amount of energy for you to acquire the speed of light so it would be actually impossible and thus, well, not really a problem, right? Still, you may imagine traveling at 99% the speed of light (possible, though expensive (very!!!)). In such case, v = 0.99 and a beam of light emitted by your flashlight would still travel with the speed of light relative to both, you and Earth. That runs against common sense, yet that's real; no science-fiction here. In the end, it comes down to the relativity of time. That same time you need to measure speed, for instance.

Pilonidal Cyst

Pilonidal Cyst Pilonidal disease is a condition in which an abnormal pocket in the skin of the lower back is found, usually near the tailbone at the top of the cleft of the buttocks. The cyst may cause virtually no symptoms, with possibly only a bit of redness and swelling in the tailbone region — or it may become an open, infected wound that drains for years, causing irritation, pain and embarrassment. The condition tends to be found chiefly in teenagers and young adults between 15- and 24-years-old (males more than females). Show more Related Specialties General Pediatric Surgery

Life Spirit Speech Patholgy, Inc.

SPEECH THERAPY ON THE HORSELife Spirit Speech Hippotherapy offers a unique opportunity and a multitude of benefits geared to meet the distinctive needs of each individual. Our hippotherapy program is offered at the J. F. Shea Therapeutic Riding Center in San Juan Capistrano. The smiles and joy observed when individuals are offered the opportunity to interact and benefit from the relationship with our horses is powerful and healing! Therapeutic riding programs have been helping people in the United States and around the world since the 1950’s. Our method is to utilize the horses movement creating sensation of the sensory domains (visual, auditory, tactile, vestibular, proprioceptive). This input directs the rider into an optimal arousal state. The rider is more focused towards the intervention process than traditional clinical treatments. Behavior struggles are most often eliminated during the therapeutic process. Having Fun! !Speech Therapy Utilizing Equine Movement Program Goals & Benefits1) Increase muscle strength to allow speech production.2) Encourage ones’ sense of accomplishment and self-esteem.3) Support a sense of safety awareness.4) Learning about the needs of the horses encourage participant’s to observe the needs of others.5) Enhance sensory acceptance, body awareness, motor planning, posture, and muscle strength.6) Encourage appropriate attention to tasks.7) Increase positive behavioral interactive skills.8) Advance and encourage reciprocal interaction and social interactive skills, peer interaction and building friendships.9) Increase one’s alertness and ability to interpret non-verbal communication signals while communicating with the horse and the instructors.10) Stimulate and encourage auditory comprehension skill growth.11) Increase the development of oral language skills.12) Add to, and strengthen overall communication skills. Our speech language pathologist will conduct an initial evaluation in order to determine if a hippotherapy program is suited for the participant. If the program is considered appropriate, the participant's speech and language intervention goals will be incorporated within the treatment program. Safety is our number one focus! All treatment sessions are facilitated by an experienced team to ensure the participants safety. The team includes our speech language pathologist who has achieved certification in hippotherapy, along with a trained horse handler and two trained side walkers. Each participant wears a safety helmet and is continuously supervised. The hippotherapy treatments are conducted in both equestrian arenas and on riding trails. Pleasure of Feeding The Horse

How Low Cost Airlines Work

How Low Cost Airlines Work A low cost airline is the cheapest means of transportation to take whether you’re planning on going around the world in eighty days (they do fly transatlantic), or just taking a trip down south to visit your parents. It’s called a no-frills carrier because it offers low fares to passengers whilst doing away with several traditional passenger services, some of which you may have taken for granted, like free food and drinks. Most airlines have only a single passenger class, and usually feature the Airbus 320’s or Boeing 737’s in their fleet of aircraft. Another element of a low cost airline is that you usually can’t reserve a seat for yourself prior to boarding the plane (for free, at least). If you’re a fan of taking in aerial views and want the window seat, or are claustrophobic and prefer the aisle, we suggest you board the plane much in advance to avoid disappointment. Many discount airlines tend to increase their fare as the plane fills up and early reservations are usually rewarded with the lowest fares, demonstrative of the price mechanism that operates in accordance to the forces of demand and supply (the basis of the study of economics). Additionally, these carriers bend towards flying to cheaper and less congested secondary airports either early in the morning or late in the evening. This way they succeed in preventing traffic delays while also taking advantage of lower landing fees. Most flights are short, and turnaround times are fast; allowing low cost carrier companies to make maximum utilization of their air crafts. Low cost airlines also prefer their customers to buy tickets directly from them through the Internet. Not only does this save them money and time; it saves you some too, making the process of obtaining a ticket as hassle-free as possible. Moreover, once you have boarded one of their planes, don’t be surprised to see their gate agent or aircraft cleaner working as a flight attendant. Such is their method of limiting personnel costs, allowing them to render you the cheapest possible traveling solutions. Please don’t expect your discount carrier to provide complimentary toys for the kids or a great choice of newspapers and magazines on the house. You have to pay for most of everything that you may have received gratis on traditional carriers. This is how low cost airlines make their profit, so unless you want the low-cost transport trend to die down, we suggest you stop complaining and start looking at the bright side (it’s blinding, really!). If you’re as stingy as we think you are, prior to boarding the plane, please remember to fill your hand luggage with goodies, toys, books, and anything else you think you might need, and were sure you wont have a problem. Another piece of advice for you is to think before you leap (how very cliched of us! ), because a number of discount airlines love playing a not-so-innocent marketing game when displaying their advertised fare separate to the the airport fees and taxes. Another fact to consider is that at times, traditional carriers offer cheaper fares than low cost airlines do. This may be due to special promotions, or to combat the truth that low cost carriers pose a serious threat to the business of traditional airlines. Therefore, do not be fixated on a single airline, whether it’s traditional or low cost; because it helps to prepare yourself to be open to all options. Another market fact is that discount airlines tend to work best in deregulated markets. An economic feature of these cost-efficient carriers is that they have, so as to say, built-in shock absorbers. In other words, these airlines remain (or become) profitable whenever the world is plagued by suffering. This happened between the years 2001 and 2003 when the aviation industry was shaken by terrorism, war, and SARS, and the traditional airlines were losing big time. Moreover, discount airlines with low operating cost structures are also competing with seat-only charter sales, but are currently leading the race mainly because charters are known for their inflexibility with regards to length of stay. Hence, aside from the fact that they’re unbelievably cheap, low cost airlines are becoming quite popular for holiday destinations based on many of the reasons mentioned above. The aviation market has also recently taken a turn (for better or for worse) after various traditional airlines, green with envy (yet another cliche! ), launched their own low cost airlines. KLM’s Buzz, British Airways’ Go, and United Airlines’ Ted are finding it hard to maximize profit with both their traditional and discount carriers operating together; whereas bmi’s bmibaby, Scandinavian Airlines System’s Snowflake, Qantas’ Jetstar, and Lufthansa’s 49% share in germanwings have all learned the secrets of operating successfully alongside their full-service partners. As in any economic industry, low cost airlines do compete with each other. While some of these airlines may offer airport lounges, others may advertise satellite television. However, it’s important to understand that these airlines are constantly vying for cost reduction. They may choose to get rid of reclining seats, or decide to altogether remove the window blinds, seat headrest covers or seat pockets. Aside from those drawbacks, what you do get as a passenger is good quality and service otherwise, and more money to spare for shopping at your chosen destination (and isn’t that what’s most important?!). These airlines are also constantly working on improving their services just for you, and as a torch to their cause, they meet at an annual World Low Cost Airlines Congress, where the discussion is aimed at championing the cause of affordable travel, while also maximizing their own profits. Still cranky about why low-cost airlines don’t serve food? Don’t worry. If you’re willing to dish out some cash (and you must be if you’re cranky), you can always buy great food and beverages on the flight; buy being the key-word.

Report abuse Transcript of The Brain While Driving The Brain Cerebellum: the cerebellum is responsible for interpreting and reacting to the many stimuli that you encounter while driving. The cerebellum allows us to coordinate our hand and foot movement to maneuver the car. The cerebellum also allows us to maintain balance while driving. Additionally, the cerebellum allows us to remember how to operate a vehicle using procedural memory. Medulla: located at the base of the brain stem, the medulla regulates your heartbeat and breathing while driving If a deer were to run in front of you while you're driving, your medulla would cause your heartbeat along with your respiration. After a police cruiser passes you after following for several feet with its sirens on, your medulla would decrease your heartbeat and respiration. The medulla of a race car driver would increase his heartbeat and respiration as he decides to maneuver his car in and out. Pons: the pons act as a bridge, sending information to other parts of the brain while a person is driving The stop sign that one sees while dancing will be sent to the pons before it is sent to the occipital lobes. The pons receives information about a green light and then it transmit that information to the occipital lobes. If a fire-breathing dragon appears before your car, the sensory stimuli will be sent to your pons and then to your occipital lobes. Reticular Formation: relays important information to other areas of the brain. While driving at night, the reticular formation keeps you alert and aware of your surroundings. Your reticular formation allows you to remain focused on driving, even though there might be fire-breathing dragons outside your car. So you went to a Foo Fighters Concert 3 hours away in Tennessee, the concert ended at 9:00 pm and you have to somehow drive back home while staying awake. The reticular formation will help with this. Thalamus: the brain's sensory switchboard. It directs messages to the sensory areas in the cortex and transmits replies to the cerebellum and medulla. As you drive down the road and perceive a small child, the thalamus receives messages from the sensory cortex and sends them to the cerebellum and medulla. While driving home from work, another driver cuts you off. Your thalamus receives this information and then directs it to your cerebellum causing you to step on the brakes. When backing up into a parking space, the thalamus is involved by by receiving messages from the sensory cortex and then transmitting them to the cerebellum, making small adjustments to maneuver your car. Hypothalamus: responsible for certain metabolic processes and other activities of the autonomic nervous system. It synthesizes and secretes certain neurohormones, often called hypothalamic-releasing hormones, and these in turn stimulate or inhibit the secretion of pituitary hormones. The hypothalamus can secrete hormones that reduces fatigue, hunger, and thirst, allowing a person from being less inefficient. Amygdala: an almond shaped neural cluster of nuclei that is involved in many of our emotions and motivations. When one gets cut off by another driver, the amgdala is activated causing one to feel aggressive. Ex: Road Rage While seeing two cars race past your own vehicle, the amygdala causes you to feel fear and anxiety, causing you to slow down. When going on a street that happens to be the same one that a family friend crashed and died on last year, the memories and feelings stored in the amygdala gets brought up. Hippocampus: involved in the processing and storage of memory. Driving from your school to your home requires the use of the hippocampus, which stores the memories of you going from home to school. (long-term) While driving, you recall that the lane that you're on will be merging into another one soon. You know this from seeing a sign a couple hundred feet back. That information was stored in the short-term memory of the hippocampus. You are driving through an unfamiliar part of Atlanta when suddenly, you see Piedmont Park. You realize that you're in Midtown. This is thanks to your hippocampus. Corpus Callosum: a thick band of nerve fibers that divides the cerebellum into left and right hemispheres. It connects the left and right sides of the brain allowing for the transfers of motor, sensory, and cognitive information between the brain hemispheres. Thanks to my corpus callosum, information about the cars in my right side of vision will be transferred to my left hemisphere. While driving recklessly and having a split brain, I am unable to see the police car in my left visual field. Subsequently, I am pulled over and given a ticket. When presented with a stop sign in my right hemisphere with a split brain, I would be unable to say what I had saw, but I could probably pick it out. Frontal Lobe: one of the four main lobes of the cerebral cortex. Consisting of the prefrontal lobe, the premotor area, and the motor area, the frontal lobe is responsible for the planning of complex cognitive behaviors, and the execution of voluntary muscle movement, respectively. While driving under the influence, alcohol wreaks havoc upon the frontal lobe, causing loss of reason and inhibition. The motor cortex sends orders through a chain of nerves to the arm and hand muscles causing one to turn the steering wheel. The motor cortex is responsible for causing one to step on the breaks by sending orders to the leg and foot muscles. Temporal lobe: part of the cerebral cortex that lies above the ears. Part of it are the auditory areas, each receiving information primarily from the opposite ear. The left auditory area allows one to hear the driver on your right curse at you. The auditory areas let you know an ambulance is coming by receiving and processing the siren. Deaf drivers have auditory areas that don't function properly. In which case, they shouldn't be driving. Occipital lobe: portion of the cerebral cortex lying at the back of the head. A key part of the occipital lobe, the visual cortex, receives information from the visual fields. The visual cortex allows us to know where we are going by interpreting the incoming visual stimuli. Thanks to the visual cortex, I am able to identify the police cruiser on the side of the road trying to caught fast drivers and thus, avoid him. Without my visual cortex, I am unable to see anything. Driving would be dangerous. Parietal lobe: portion of the cerebral cortex lying at the top of the head and towards the rear. This important sensory location has two primary functions: the integration of senses to form perceptions, and the representation of these perceptions in the world around us. Listening to someone talking reduces the activity of the parietal lobe associated with spatial processing as well as dropping driving performance. The somatosensory cortex receives information from skin surface and sense organs. So your eyes and ears would be active while driving. Since the parietal lobe is associated with spatial processing, it is crucial for navigation. Wernicke's Area: involved in the understanding of written and spoken language. Our Wernicke's Area allows us to read the DUI ticket that the police officer gave to us. We took a detour because we saw a sign that said that there was a wreck up ahead. After driving to Mexico, our Wernicke's Area allows us to understand the Spanish dictionary, enabling us to communicate with the locals. Broca's Area: one of the main areas of the cerebral cortex responsible for producing language. Without out Broca's Area, we wouldn't be able to explain to the police officer, why were we going 100 miles over the speed limit. Our Broca's Area allows us to tell the homeless people, who come up to our cars asking for money, that we don't have any. An impaired Broca's Area would prevent you from producing language; you wouldn't be able to ask for directions from the driver next to you.

Ballast Water Convention to Enter into Force in 2017

Ballast Water Convention to Enter into Force in 2017By Mar Ex 2016-09-09 02:42:49Accession by Finland has triggered the entry into force of the IMO Ballast Water Management Convention. The Convention will enter into force on September 8, 2017, marking a landmark step towards halting the spread of invasive aquatic species, which can cause havoc for local ecosystems, affect biodiversity and lead to substantial economic loss. Under the Convention’s terms, ships will be required to manage their ballast water to remove, render harmless, or avoid the uptake or discharge of aquatic organisms and pathogens within ballast water and sediments“This is a truly significant milestone for the health of our planet,” said IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim.“The spread of invasive species has been recognized as one of the greatest threats to the ecological and the economic well-being of the planet. These species are causing enormous damage to biodiversity and the valuable natural riches of the earth upon which we depend. Invasive species also cause direct and indirect health effects and the damage to the environment is often irreversible,” he said. He added, “The entry into force of the Ballast Water Management Convention will not only minimize the risk of invasions by alien species via ballast water, it will also provide a global level playing field for international shipping, providing clear and robust standards for the management of ballast water on ships.”Finland’s accession brings the combined tonnage of contracting states to the treaty to 35.1441 percent, with 52 contracting parties. The convention stipulates that it will enter into force 12 months after ratification by a minimum of 30 States, representing 35 percent of world merchant shipping tonnage. The Convention will require all ships in international trade to manage their ballast water and sediments to certain standards, according to a ship-specific ballast water management plan. All ships will also have to carry a ballast water record book and an International Ballast Water Management Certificate. The ballast water performance standard will be phased in over a period of time. Most ships will need to install an on-board system to treat ballast water and eliminate unwanted organisms. More than 60 type-approved systems are already available.“The entry into force is a very good step towards clarifying what ships have to deal with in the near and bit farther future,” says specialist ballast water management consultant Jad Mouawad. “Many questions remain during the implementation phase: how the revised Type Approval guidelines will be integrated into the retrofit timeline, how ship owners should choose a ballast water treatment system strategically to ensure compliance with the U. S. Coast Guard requirements (that have not yet type approved a ballast water treatment system), what changes will the IMO do to the Convention text besides the timeline changes already agreed to.“The immediate reaction to the anticipated ratification for us has been a sharp increase in requests for market and feasibility studies for shipowners. Simply put, shipowners are asking us which systems they should buy, how to lay an installation strategy based on their scheduled survey dates, dry docks and so on. I recommend all shipowners to do this homework before starting to buy systems.”ICS Looks to IMO for Clarification The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) reiterates that it is now more vital than ever that IMO Member States finalise the revision of the G8 Type Approval Guidelines for treatment systems at the next session of the IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee this October. ICS Chairman, Esben Poulsson said: “We must ensure that shipowners can have absolute confidence that the expensive equipment they will soon have to install will be effective in treating ballast water conditions normally encountered during worldwide operations and be regarded as fully compliant during Port State Control inspections.“The fixing of a definite implementation date, after so many years of delay, will at least gives shipowners some of the certainty needed to make important decisions about whether to refit the new mandatory treatment equipment or otherwise to start sending ships for early recycling,” Poulsson added. “Unfortunately, the entry into force of the new IMO regime will not resolve the extreme difficulties that still exist in the United States.”ICS says there is still great uncertainty with respect to the more stringent United States approval regime for treatment equipment, which started to be enforced in January 2014 (the U. S. not being a Party to the IMO Convention). The U. S. regulations require all ships that discharge ballast water in U. S. waters to use a treatment system approved by the U. S. Coast Guard. However, because no systems have yet been approved, ships already required to comply with the U. S. regulations have either been granted extensions to the dates for fitting the required treatment systems or else permitted to install a U. S. Coast Guard accepted Alternate Management System (AMS), in practice a system type-approved in accordance with the current IMO Guidelines. However, an AMS will only be accepted for operation for five years, after which time a fully U. S. Coast Guard approved system must be installed. But the U. S. Coast Guard does not guarantee that an AMS will be subsequently granted full approval. Hence shipowners that may have installed an AMS in good faith, at a cost of between US $1-5 million per ship, might then have to replace the system completely after only five years.“The impasse in the U. S. is a particular concern for operators that have installed ultra-violet systems” observed Poulsson. ICS says that the situation has been compounded by the Coast Guard announcing, at the end of last year, that it will not accept the methodology used by other IMO Member States to approve UV treatment systems when assessing the number of viable organisms in treated ballast water. ICS will therefore be working with IMO Member States to impress upon the United States the importance of coming to a pragmatic solution. Otherwise, once the IMO Convention finally enters into force next year, the shipping industry will be faced with real chaos.” said Poulsson. INTERTANKO Cautiously Optimistic INTERTANKO is advising its Members to remain focused and cautious in the months ahead. INTERTANKO’s Managing Director, Katharina Stanzel, commented that: “The entry into force of an international Convention providing global requirements will always be welcomed by INTERTANKO and the international shipping industry. In practical terms this development provides certainty for owners with a firm date now in place from which installation and dry docking schedules can be determined. However, this must be balanced against the fact that the IMO has yet to complete its work on reviewing and revising the G-8 type approval guidelines for ballast water management systems.”INTERTANKO’s Environment Director, Tim Wilkins, added that: “INTERTANKO and its industry partners have pushed hard for more robust type approval procedures for ballast water management systems,” something that IMO member States are now considering in a full review of the procedures. However, he added that: “While the revised type approval guidelines are now likely to be completed in advance of the entry into force of the Convention, there remains uncertainty as to when an owner will be able to install ‘second generation’ ballast water management systems actually tested and approved using the amended guidelines.“It will take a reasonable amount of time before manufacturers are able to attain type approval and ensure such systems are commercially available. This would place some owners in the position of having to install ‘first’ generation ballast water management systems at substantial expense that may not work and/or may not meet the environmental objectives of the Convention.”Manufacturers Upbeat Equipment manufacturers are positive about the news with Mark Kustermans, Market Manager for manufacturer Trojan Marinex, says: “Today, the global marine community has taken a significant step forward in its effort to mitigate the threat of aquatic invasive species. This outcome was possible from the contribution of countless stakeholders around the globe that recognize the environmental and economic impact of this threat and who continue to work toward global regulations that better serve the marine industry. Trojan Marinex and our partners are steadfast in our support of these efforts and of our customers as we move forward.”Equipment manufacturer DESMI says the ratification is a much needed step forward which will now allow the entire shipping industry to start planning the actions required in order to comply with the convention. For far too long shipowners, suppliers and regulators have had to deal with unknown timelines, but now we can start planning and look forward. “The major issue left to be resolved now is the U. S. Coast Guard’s recent decision to not accept test methods that are accepted in the rest of the world. These test methods are crucial for the approval of major technologies such as UV technology, which currently holds a market share of approximately 50 percent.“The international community must address this issue with the U. S. Coast Guard in order to find a pragmatic solution ASAP. The current situation where one administration implements its own rules and enforces them in a way that collides with the rest of the world is not sustainable. Shipping is a global business that needs globally uniform rules and regulations.”
