Philadelphia police are searching for the driver of a vehicle that fatally struck a five-year-old boy and then fled the scene Friday afternoon in West Philadelphia. The incident occurred around 4 p.m. in the 5000 block of Irving Street, according to NBC10. Family members reportedly said the boy was playing with others in the street when a green sedan struck him. The victim, identified as Xavier Moy, was transported to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia where he died of his injuries. Authorities blocked off the roadway to conduct an investigation and no further information about the vehicle or suspect was immediately available.

I bought two West Elm Tillary sofas a few years ago for my apartment. I loved them and had no issues. When I moved to my house, it was a different story. In my apartment the sofas were right up against the wall, but in my house the sofas are in the middle of my living room. The top section of the sofas do not attach to the bottom--they only have a little grip on the bottom to stay in place. When anyone leaned back on the sofa, the grip did NOT keep the top in place. I had many people fall over when the top did not stay in place so I had to come up with a way to keep this from happening! When we drilled the pilot holes into the wood and sofa base, we did have some batting come out and get twisted but this was not a major issue. Use hex bolts to screw the wood board into the base of the sofas. Step 4: And Done. I Love These Couches Even More Now! See more projects on our website. I have several square ottomans and they are now pushed against the wall but have no backs. Your 'ible came at a good time for me! Thanks for giving me ideas of how to keep the pillows from falling over / backwards!

When someone is arrested for DUI in California under Vehicle Code Sections 23152(a)(b) and VC sections 23153(a)(b), felony DUI, they are provided three options under VC 231612: They can provide a blood, breath, or urine sample. Urine is typically offered (suggested) if the arresting agency suspects that drugs are present and a blood test is unavailable. If a breath sample is provided, and that sample comes back over .08% BAC, an arrest will likely occur. California Title 17 requires that the breath sample measure the alveolar air – that is, deep lung air. Oftentimes, there is a question as to the accuracy of a breath sample. Remember, the breath machine is supposed to measure the amount of alcohol in the blood. This is done indirectly, however, by measuring the amount of alcohol in the breath (BrAC). The partition ratio converts alcohol measured in the breath to estimates of alcohol in the blood. This measure is in direct proportion to the amount of grams of alcohol to every 1 milliliter of blood. Therefore, 2100 milliliters of breath will contain the same amount of ethanol as 1 milliliter of blood. One issue is that partition ratio varies greatly among individuals – from 1300:1 to 3100:1 or more. This may greatly impact the BrAC and can place someone over the legal limit of 0.8% BAC, even if they are not. Alcohol contamination in the mouth can also negatively impact the BAC. This may be a problem if the person recently consumed alcohol, vomited, regurgitated, or burped. This is supposed to be mitigated by Title 17, which requires a 15 minute observation period before a breath sample is provided. However, if there is a Title 17 violation, the breath sample may be affected. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a group of lung diseases that impacts airflow through the bronchial tubes. As a result, airflow is partially blocked and thus does not always correlate with BAC. Diabetes is another medical issue that may affect BAC. Diabetics sometimes eliminate ketones (acetone) as a waste product, because some cells oxide fats for fuel. If a diabetic with hypoglycemia develops ketoacidosis, acetone in the mouth can make the breath smell of alcohol. Consequently, a high BAC reading may result because the breath testing machine mistakes the acetone for ethyl alcohol. There are other reasons that BAC may be falsely elevated.

It was already shocking to discover that the universe is expanding faster and faster (a discovery for which the Nobel Prize was awarded in 2011). Now it turns out, even that acceleration rate is faster than astrophysicists thought. Using the Hubble Space Telescope to measure the distance to Type 1a supernovas and Cepheid stars, a team at the Space Telescope Science Institute was able to improve the accuracy of earlier measurements, which increase that expansion rate between five and nine percent. Astrophysicists are still trying to figure out why this expansion is happening, whether it’s from dark energy, an unknown subatomic particle that scientists dubbed “dark radiation,” or an incomplete theory of gravity.

Recently, a new image of the Motorola X Phone has surfaced on the Internet. This new smartphone was running on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and is expected to be the Motorola X Phone that has been in rumors since a long time. The Motorola X Phone has been one of the most highly anticipated smartphones of the year, which will be released by Google and Motorola. It is expected to be one of the revolutionary devices that will efficiently balance power, performance and battery life. The Motorola X Phone showcased in the image has been codenamed as the Motorola XT1056 and seems to be under testing using Sprint’s 4G LTE network. Even though the device has just been codenamed as the XT1056, a number of sources claim that this smartphone could be Motorola X Phone! The Motorola X Phone is expected to have a 4.7-inch touchscreen display with a 720p display resolution. The device will be powered by a 1.7GHz dual-core processor, dedicated GPU and 2GB of RAM. The device will also have 16GB of internal storage and a microSD card support that will help expand total storage. The Motorola X Phone is expected to be the first smartphone to actually focus on providing features and balancing power and performance. The company does not just want to put in a high profile quad-core processor and full HD display in order to compete against other smartphones. For those who think that the Motorola X Phone is just a rumor, you will be surprised to know that a new Motorola smartphone has already made it through the FCC. The Motorola X Phone is also expected to feature 5G Wi-Fi and NFC, along with a number of other cool features thanks to the combined efforts of Motorola and Google. And for those who are looking out for a probable release date, the Motorola X Phone is expected to be announced in the first week of August.

More than 50 million tonnes of fruit and vegetables grown across Europe are discarded each year, largely because they do not meet supermarkets and consumers’ standards of how they should look, the study showed. Researchers at the University of Edinburgh examined details of food loss and waste within the European Economic Area. They studied how much food is discarded each year before it reaches the point of being sold. They found that strict government regulations, supermarkets’ high standards and consumers’ expectations of how fruit and vegetables should look in combination led to the loss of more than one-third of produce before the point of sale. Farmers who are contracted to supermarkets typically grow more food than they are obliged to supply, to allow for a proportion that will not be deemed fit to sell. Scientists suggest that greater awareness among consumers, and a movement towards shopping sustainably, could encourage the sale of more ugly vegetables. The study is published in the Journal of Cleaner Production.

Larimar is a rare form of pectolite, which was discovered in the 1970's and is only found on the volcanic island of the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean. It has an extraordinary blue appearance similar to the color of the ocean in tropical areas. The name "Larimar" was given to the stone by a Dominican who named the stone after his daughter Larissa and Mar, the Spanish word for sea. Blue lace agate is beautiful layered stone sometimes called banded chalcedony. White layers alternate with translucent blue layers that give the illusion of lace. Its composition is silica with a variety of trace elements and is most found in Namibia, Africa. Turquoise has been used as a valuable ornament for ages and was used by the Egyptians thousands of years ago. For centuries, the most valuable turquoise came from Iran (Persia) but today specimens mined in the southwestern United States compete with it. The Aztecs mined turquoise in an area now known as New Mexico and a significant amount of top quality turquoise comes from Arizona, California and Nevada.

When it comes to chaotic nightmare scenario, earthquakes, tsunamis, and nuclear accidents easily rank at the top of just about anyone’s list. On the other hand, there is also a pervasive sense among preppers that these scenarios are not likely to happen in their area, let alone strike all at one time. Sadly, in Fukushima, Japan, all three events did happen at one time, and the long term impacts still need to be considered by everyone interested in prepping. What Is the Fukushima Nuclear Crisis About? On March 11, 2011, a major earthquake struck off the coast of Fukushima, Japan, then a very powerful tsunami occurred. The water struck a nuclear power plant and caused major failures in the cooling system for several of the reactors. Within 24 hours, enormous amounts of radioactive material were being released into the land, ocean, and air, and it remained impossible to stop the radiation from leaking out. Today, radiation still pours out as there are three reactor cores that melted down, and very little can be done to stop this process. At least 610 workers and nearby residents died due to radiation exposure, and thousands more are expected to develop cancers related to exposure to radiation. The toll is greatest on children, of whom over 1/3 already show signs of abnormal growth in the thyroid glands that indicate an increased risk for cancer. The radioactive half-life of materials used to power nuclear reactors spans thousands to hundreds of thousands of years. When these particles find their way into the water, air, and soil, they will remain radioactive and continue to pose a serious danger to almost all life forms. How Is Fukushima Crisis Impacting the US? As of December 2015, radiation from Fukushima has reached the western shores of the US and Canada. It is estimated that some isotopes have jumped as much as 50% in concentration, however government agencies still claim that radiation levels are not high enough to promote the idea that people should stop swimming, boating, and eating from the coastal waters. This mirrors Japan’s claim that their coastal waters in the area are safe despite the fact that radiation levels are 10 to 100 times higher than what is currently being seen along the west coast of the United States and Canada. Increasing levels of radiation from Fukushima are readily detectable now along the western coast of the United States. The progression of the radiation has progressed inland and now shows up in water and soil located further away from the ocean. If you buy food or water from areas currently contaminated by radioactive materials from Fukushima, there is no way for you to know if these consumable goods are even safe. This includes wines, cigarettes, and just about anything else that you think is safe to consume just because it is “made in the United States”. Unlike Chernobyl and nuclear bomb explosions, the radiation leaking from Fukushima has not stopped. Unfortunately, it is virtually impossible for consumers to determine if elevated radiation levels are coming from Fukushima, a nearby power plant, or some other source of radioactive material. Keep an eye out for data released by Fukushima watch groups and nuclear plants in your area, including controversial ones. Keep Kearny (KFM) fallout meters in several locations at home and in the office. These devices are easy to make and can help you correlate information found in other reports. Always be aware of what area of the world that food is grown and processed in. Never forget that dust and contaminated water easily find their way into plants and animals, and then into your body. Obesity is an indicator of thyroid problems, but most doctors do not make thyroid function tests a routine part of medical exams, let alone look for this as a cause of increasing body weight. On the other hand, thyroid cancers are some of the most common types that people get when exposed to nuclear radiation. Leukemia and blood cancers are also very common in people exposed to nuclear radiation. To protect your body from ionizing radiation regardless of the source, increase Vitamin C intake, as it works as a natural shield. If you have been exposed to radiation, make use of herbal remedies (marigold tea, turmeric, black pepper, and olive oil) that either inhibit tumor growth or stop it altogether. There are many other teas and other solutions that will increase pH (to a more alkaline level) so that it is harder for cancer cells to grow. What About Long Term Consequences? Once the land is contaminated by nuclear waste such as the materials away from the Fukushima power plant, it can no longer be trusted to sustain plants that will be consumed for food. Any plants that are able to grow in areas contaminated with nuclear waste show severe genetic deformities: clover with 5 or more leaves, other plants with odd shaped flowers, stunted growth, giant or excessive growth, stalk tumors (yes plants do develop tumorous growths or knots!), increased susceptibility to infection, and many other problems. Some plants and mushrooms are known to pull toxic radioactive waste from the soil and incorporate it into their leaves, roots, stems, and flowers. Aside from Tobacco and its notorious tendency to pull Polonium from the soil, some species of mushrooms and conifers also pull radioactive materials from the soil. Still there are no lists of edible plants that pull more radioactive material than others. Failing crops, droughts, floods, and other severe weather patterns all contribute to soil erosion. As soil is picked up by the wind, or other forces of nature, it will take the radioactive material and spread them all over the place. As a result, even places further inland may wind up with trace to larger amounts of radioactive material entering the environment without anyone realizing it is present. Even though heavy metals can be removed from water by distilling it, there are very few ways to remove tritium (a radioactive form of hydrogen), from potable water supplies. Tritium is commonly released by nuclear reactors including those that were damaged in Fukushima Japan. To this day, Japan is still trying to figure out what to do with Tritium waste left behind. Other than releasing it into the ocean, they are also considering simply letting the water evaporate, or try burying it. Since it tends to be very hard to detect tritium in water supplies, there are very few, if any ways for governing bodies to determine just how much of this type of nuclear waste is washing up on the shores or falling along the coast of the United States and in heavily populated areas. If you watch the news forecast, then it’s easy to see that water from one end of the country, or even the world, can move all over the place in a very short period of time. As a result, it is very possible that people on the East Coast of the United States may be dealing with the consequences of the Fukushima crisis well before they expected to. In terms of setting up a safe homestead, there is no such thing as a water supply that will remain uncontaminated because of the way water cycles so easily from air to ground and underground areas. Many people that think of the oceans as endless bodies of salt water fail to realize that enormous amounts of water evaporate from them on a daily basis. Without this evaporation, supplies of potable water on land would never be replenished. When the oceans are polluted by radioactive materials, the water throughout the world will also get contaminated. Today, there are many preppers that feel the best thing to do is return to living off the land instead of hoping that FEMA and social programs will help them out in a time of need. If you thought the impact of Fukushima on human reproduction was bad, then you haven’t really given much thought to the impact on animals that you might rely on for food. In fact, if you do some research on mutations found around Chernobyl, you see why it will be impossible to hunt or fish where radioactive materials from Fukushima show up. Large die offs of animals and plants also tend to occur when radiation levels rise. In this case, the path of the ocean currents between Japan and the United States may well be corridors of death for millions of fish that will no longer be available for humans to consume. No matter whether there is a social collapse or not, a reduction in food from the ocean will lead to higher food prices, which in turn, will trigger other disasters. If you have done any degree of prepping, then you may already realize that respirators, gas masks, and closed oxygen systems simply cannot take the place of breathing regular air. The lungs are also some of the most sensitive organs in the body when it comes to being damaged by radiation. As air based nuclear contamination from Fukushima travels along, it will drop into the Pacific Ocean long before it reaches the United States. That, however, doesn’t guarantee the safety of air in the United States. Water always evaporates, and as it does so, it will carry small particles of radioactive material along with it. In this case, tritium will be carried along because it is the lightest of all radioactive materials. As water seeps into the land, particles of radioactive debris will be left behind. As this soil dries out and turns to dust, it will blow along with the wind, which means that radioactive materials are right back in the air. Cycles of nature aside, there are already statements coming out of Japan to the effect that they don’t know how to alleviate problems caused by Fukushima, let alone what kinds of problems will occur. If they can’t figure out how to even stop the radiation from leaking out of the reactors, why trust any governing body that seeks to assure us that air contaminated by this disaster is safe to breathe? The fact of the matter is no one really knows what the total impact on air quality from this radiation as it spreads across the world. In a sense, running a country is not so difference from running a business. When you own a business, those who buy from you must have confidence that the products you sell are safe to use. There is no question that farmers in the United States and other nations rely on the good reputation of their land and water when it comes to exporting foods. At a more local level, there are no estimates revolving around how many businesses will be driven under because high radiation levels mean that some operations can no longer be carried out in certain areas. This includes everything from farming to making wine, water, and many other products. As people get sick, an untold amount of pure human creativity and excellence will also be lost or left undeveloped as people struggle just to stay alive. Anyone thinking about the economic impact of Fukushima should also think seriously about how much it costs to treat cancer. Since government bodies consistently under-estimate dangers from ISIS, it should come as no surprise that they may also be seriously underestimating just how many people right here in the United States are likely to develop cancer because of the Fukushima crisis. In addition, regardless of the treatments used for cancer, they are all extremely expensive and there is no way for people with or without health insurance to be able to pay for it. While everyone was focused on trying to avoid a nuclear war, a nuclear holocaust is already underway because of the ongoing nuclear crisis in Japan. Never forget that governments conspired to unleash a technology that they did have full control of, and is now presenting a very serious threat to millions of people right here in the United States. Now is the time to demand answers and action on a problem that is much worse than anything that could come of conventional guns or even other forms of energy generation. Take the time now to demand answers and the truth form leaders that continue to use “red flag” generated scenarios to hide what is going on in Fukushima. Our nation still has billions of dollars’ worth of tax dollars that can be used to help with research and resolving this crisis instead of wasting it on nonsense like gun control and other useless ego game agendas.

Search engine optimization (SEO) should be considered as a critical element of any Internet marketing strategy. This is important because there is so much which can be gained from SEO in terms of Internet marketing and advertising. Failure to optimize your website for search engines can result in a considerable loss in terms of free advertising and traffic which is essentially gained from ranking well with search engines. This article will provide insight into what SEO is and will explain why Internet marketing requires at least some degree of SEO. SEO optimization is a strategy in which a website is designed to obtain favorable search engine rankings from popular search engines. This may be achieved in a variety of different ways and optimal SEO strategies combine a variety of different strategies to complete one well orchestrated SEO campaign. There are several elements to consider when attempting to optimize your website for search engines. This may include keyword density, prominence, META tags, titles and inbound links. Keyword density is one of the most common SEO strategies and essentially involves using relevant keywords often in the content of a website to demonstrate the relevance of these keywords to the website. This is important because search engines are likely to reward websites with optimal keyword densities with favorable search engine rankings in an effort to provide Internet users with the most relevant websites for particular search terms. The prominence of keywords should also be considered. This includes how close the keywords are placed to the beginning of the website. The common mistake with this strategy is to believe the first opportunity to incorporate keywords is in the first line of visible text on the webpage. This is not true because search engines crawl the code of a website as opposed to the visible content on the website. This means there are multiple opportunities to incorporate relevant keywords long before the actual visible content on the website. This might include the code for the title as well as the META tags. Business owners who realize the potential for incorporating keyword into the code gain an advantage over competitors who only incorporate keywords into the content on their website. Another area of concern which is very important for those who are interested in SEO is inbound links. Inbound links are essentially links which reside on other websites and direct traffic to your website. These links are considered important because many search engines place a value on inbound links because they are essentially an example of one website recommending another website. However, when obtaining inbound links it is important to do so from other websites which rank well with search engines because many search engines consider the rank of the original website when determining the value of the inbound link. Now that we have briefly explained some of the main concept of SEO, we will illustrate why it is important to optimize your website in the first place. SEO is so important because most Internet users highly value the results of search engines and are likely to only visit to ranking websites when they search for a particular keyword.

I came across in the last week. Enjoy! If you need proof that NCLB is leading our schools and our students down the wrong path then look no further than this sad story out of Durham, NH where a school regarded as one of the top in the state (based on indicators such as SAT scores, college acceptances, etc.) is now a failing school due to the fact that 12 special education students out of 110 performed poorly on there state exam. Instead of continuing some of their innovative practices, this school is instead "teaching to the test." Linda Reif, a former NH teacher of the year, discusses how the thinking at her school has changed due to the test scores of a small subgroup at her school. This is a refreshing story from Oregon where one district turned away federal funds due to the fact that they could not come to grips with the U.S. Department of Education's firm mandate to reward teachers for better test scores. "We certainly, as a team, do not believe that providing an incentive to teachers based on increased test scores of any individuals is going to make a difference in student achievement," said superintendent Larry Didway.

The study of women’s health revealed a similar relationship between migraine with aura and ischemic heart disease. With migraine with aura, the risk of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events was higher than with migraine without aura. For 60 months, a prospective assessment of the relationship between migraine and cardiovascular diseases in 20,084 healthy male doctors was carried out as part of a study of the health of doctors. The type of migraine (with or without aura) was not considered in this study. The relative risk of developing serious cardiovascular diseases (OR = 1.24, 95% CI = 1.06-1.46) and myocardial infarction (OR = 1.42, 95% CI = 1.15-1.77) was significantly higher among patients with migraine than among non-migraine sufferers. The probability of ischemic stroke, coronary revascularization, angina pectoris, and death from cardiovascular disease among male doctors suffering from migraine was insignificant. However, in this study, the degree of risk was not analyzed depending on the presence of a migraine aura, the effect of which turned out to be significant according to a study of women’s health.

In what some may describe as the “never-ending harvest,” cotton remains on the stalk in portions of the PCG service area, making for an exceptionally long year that already has brought its share of challenges. PCG estimates that harvest is at least 90 percent complete across the 41-county service area, with much of the current activity in eastern parts of the region. Damp weather and precipitation has delayed cotton harvest over the past couple of months. A few gins are approaching the completion of their season, while others still have awhile to go. Quality actually has improved over the course of the season, particularly in color. Periods of open weather have allowed for sunshine to “bleach out” cotton fibers, and conditions have been more dry in recent weeks as compared to the beginning of harvest, when significant rainfall occurred. Prices have been responding to a variety of factors, including decreased demand, trade disputes, and overall uncertainty regarding the stock market, coupled with a tense political climate most directly related to the current U.S. partial government shutdown. Futures were in the lower 70s, although at press time, markets were trending upward as the Dow Jones was trading higher. Global stocks are expected to further tighten on a smaller India crop, but the lack of USDA reports during the government shutdown is preventing the market from responding to at least that factor.

Livestock such as dairy and swine often have slurry type manure. The manure is liquid but does not flow easily. It is either stored directly below the animal pens, or scraped or pumped periodically into a holding pen outside of the building. Loading slurry manure is accomplished with a pump powered by a tractor or stationary engine. The slurry can be loaded into tractor-pulled or truck-mounted tankers, or pumped through a hose attached to a tractor that applies it as it is being pumped from the pit. The cost of loading slurry is usually low because the pump can do it quickly and the volume per animal is not usually high. Transportation of slurry by tanker can be expensive because a lot of water is being transported and the same equipment that is hauling the slurry is usually land applying the slurry. When tankers are used, the number of hours spent transporting the slurry is frequently the limiting cost. The land may become unavailable to receive the slurry, due to crop planting times or soil conditions, before all of the slurry can be land applied. Often, the distance transported is limited so that the time constraints can be met. If the slurry is pumped through a hose to the field, the transport time is negligible. As the slurry is pumped, it is simultaneously injected or surface applied to the land. The important cost becomes the cost of purchasing pipe and hose that is sufficient for this method of land application. The cost of land application of slurry varies with the type of equipment used. Tankers can be expensive to own unless they are used for many animals on many acres. There is a definite economy of scale with tankers. Additionally, the tankers usually require fairly large tractors or trucks. If the livestock owner does not have a cropping enterprise that requires the large tractor, ownership of the tractor for manure distribution alone becomes expensive. Tankers are economical for large-scale operations with slurry manure. When slurries are applied via hoses (called dragline hoses), a tractor pulled distributor is used to move the hose around the field so that the slurry is evenly distributed. The cost of the equipment can be very expensive, but the amount of time is decreased considerably compared to using tankers because most of the time is spent in applying the slurry. Very little time is spent getting into and out of the field, as is the case when using tankers.

Studies show that the prevalence of biliary stones in adults in industrialized countries is about 10%, and this appears to be rising. The gallbladder is a small sachet located on the right side of the body, below the liver. Some of the chemicals in the gallbladder can turn into a large stone or a few small matter. The gallbladder secretions are a mixture of cholesterol, calcium, bilirubin and other compounds that accumulate in the gallbladder. These compounds are sometimes referred to as bile, because they remain in the gallbladder for a long time. Bile is a yellowish green liquid that is produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. It helps digestion of body fat. When small bile particles remain in the gallbladder for a long time, these particles can accumulate as bubbles in the gallbladder. Bile marrow gems are rocks or masses that are produced from some harder materials in the gallbladder or biliary tract. Most people with biliary stones have no symptoms. This is because the stone remains in the gallbladder and does not cause any problems. However, biliary stones may occasionally lead to cystic colic or inflammation of the gallbladder. The initial symptoms are sudden ache, which worsens quickly. This pain can occur on the right side of the body, just below the teeth, between the shoulder or right shoulder. In many cases, gallbladder stones are discovered accidentally when a person is treated for another condition. A doctor may suspect biliary stomachs after a cholesterol test, ultrasound scan, blood test, or even a CT scan. Blood tests may be followed by signs of infection, obstruction, pancreatitis, or jaundice. Cholesterol Bile Marrow: If there is excessive cholesterol in the bile, these stones are created. Biliary stones: When the bilirubin is excessive, the stones are formed. These types of stones are found among people with liver disease, bile duct infections, or blood disorders such as anemia due to sickle cells. Mainly reducing weight fast and then returning to normal may increase the risk of gallstone disease over a lifetime. Women treated with high-dose estrogen. One study found that a gene type significantly increased the risk of biliary stones. Women are twice as likely to have biliary stones as men. People who use cholesterol-lowering drugs. In addition, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for postmenopausal women is associated with a high risk of developing gallbladder problems. Biliary stones should be treated if they cause gallbladder inflammation, bile duct obstruction or stone movement from bile ducts to the intestines. Treatment involves cholecystectomy or removal of the entire gallbladder that is performed in some people under laparoscopy and some require open abdominal surgery. The drug, Ursodeoxycholic acid, can reduce the level of cholesterol content of the gallbladder and reduce the formation of these stones, if they have cholesterol. Of course, despite the presence of drugs and surgical interventions, some people replace natural remedies to get rid of these rocks. Acupuncture, yoga is somewhat curative, but you should keep in mind that in case of deterioration, the doctor will be the final decision maker. The most effective way to prevent gallstone disease in the long run is to control weight. However, weight loss, pregnancy, or participation in very low calorie diets (less than 800 calories a day) can actually increase the risk of biliary stones. Fast weight loss diets may increase cholesterol levels in bile, which can increase the risk of gallstones. This weight loss should be done slowly. Regular physical activity can help reduce the chance of developing gallstones. Exercise intensity does not make much difference. The US Health and Human Services Guidelines recommend that regular physical activity of at least 150 minutes per week or 30 minutes five times a week can improve health outcomes and prevent weight gain. Healthy diet plays an important role in reducing the incidence of gallbladder disease, but is not limited to eating fruits and vegetables. Eating a balanced mix of vegetarian foods such as nuts, fruits, vegetables, fiber and foods that contain unsaturated or unsaturated fat, cereals with low or no meat can reduce the risk of gallstones. The Mediterranean diet includes this food and is also associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.

Gallery lighting is usually reserved for museums, art showings and any rooms reserved for elegant displays. It is functional and used to highlight colors and shapes inherent in a piece of art. To accomplish this, the fixture needs to produce soft illumination in a targeted area. This is difficult to do with traditional bulbs, which tend to radiate in all directions. Special devices, like projectors, are needed for this task. While projectors are fairly easy to install, it is still best to consult with an expert before deciding on a model. Even a small miscalculation with the projector’s alignment or brightness will be noticeable to observers. This is a problem, because the focus should always be on the display, not the light. All other forms of illumination, whether functional or decorative, are typically not focused on a single object. Even sophisticated LED ribbon or festoon lamps are omnidirectional in how they radiate. Gallery lighting, on the other hand, is more like a spotlight. In the world of theatre, these devices are used to direct attention to the most relevant performer on stage. Gallery lighting serves the same purpose, only it remains focused on a single area and emits much softer illumination. Museums and art showings make frequent use of these fixtures, though any venue that wants to create a dramatic focus on a single object will find them useful. Hotels, restaurants, clubs, even churches install them in certain situations. They are appropriate for sculptures, paintings, art installations, precious exhibits and anything else that is to be a main focus of the area. Science, history and art museums prefer these projectors because they produce illumination that appears to come from within the object and radiate out. This is due to the projector’s ability to create intimate, subtle illumination that is customized to the object’s shape. Observers won’t be able to see any shadows cast by the projector, creating a striking result. In effect, this type of gallery lighting can create an impressive contrast between a work of art and its surroundings in terms of illumination. This enhances the color in the piece and highlights its subtleties. This effect, however, is ruined if the fixture can be seen. Some museums substitute this form of illumination for recessed or tracked fixtures. While adequate, they cast shadows on and around the object that can be distracting to an observer. Gallery lighting projectors, though, are installed in the ceiling and are finely calibrated for the illuminated subject. These devices are easy to set up, even in buildings where there is little or no attic space. They have a small footprint and require a small aperture through the ceiling, making them highly inconspicuous. These projectors can radiate a horizontal beam, which is ideal for subjects sitting in the middle of a room. They can also produce an angled beam, which is better for wall-mounted art. There are hundreds of beam patterns available, from basic geometric shapes, to abstract patterns to customized branding images. The options are nearly limitless. These energy efficient and compact devices can bring out the life in any design piece or artwork installation. Once in place, they can provide the flourish needed in any artistic space.

« “In Touch”: dialogue, the weather or people? A middle-aged man noticed that there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds, and then he hurried on to meet his schedule. The violinist received his first dollar. A woman threw money in the hat and without stopping, continued to walk. A 3-year old boy stopped, but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head the whole time. This action was repeated by several other children, but every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly. No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before, Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100 each to sit and listen to him play the same music. If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made . . ..How many other things are we missing as we rush through life? Interesting, a sad portrayal of the pace of society. I love how inherently mindful children are. My 20 month old reminds me daily of need to be present, she never rushes, she stops to look at ants, rocks and flowers. And sometimes I do rush her on, but a lot of the time I look at these things in awe with her. She helps me slow down. I live with my grandkids, 4,6, and 9. Life is now for them. Very aware and not concerned with next week.

Many people believe that their resume is going to be reviewed by prospective employers with painstaking detail. After all, we put so much work into our resumes that we would like to think that it is going to be read by employers. The harsh reality is that studies show that resumes only get reviewed for six seconds. These six seconds are crucial because they represent whether or not the candidate will get a chance to get the job. Truthfully, I can tell you the sad reality is many resumes do not even get seen by human eyes.

Drive to the highway at United. At that highway, pull off the highway when you get to United on the left. Drive straight ahead until you get to the end of the trail, right under the bridge. You should be able to see some people here.

Random fact – She played the violin all through primary school and is obsessed with Disney princess movies, in particular, Beauty and the Beast. Ashleigh has been pole dancing for about 2.5 years. She started pole because she and friend wanted to have an activity that they could do together each week, where they could have a giggle and build their fitness and core strength at the same time. Coming from a netball background, pole dancing was defiantly something different for Ashleigh, but after her first class, she was addicted! Ashleigh loves to push herself and build her strength, that being said, she’s always up for playing with some spins, floor work and practising her twerking. Ashleigh is enthusiastic about teaching and helping to build the fitness of the people in her class. Ashleigh loves seeing the smiles on her students’ faces when they nail a move or even realise how much strength they’ve built up.

It is generally recognized that there is an increase in usage of resident operated mobility devices in long term care settings. This is supported by evidence based research information on aging demographics. The design of the physical environment is directly impacted by the presence of resident operated mobility devices necessitating the inclusion and consideration of issues related to equipment storage at point of use, charging station locations, corridor widths, battery storage, and appropriate maintenance areas for equipment in senior living settings. The workgroup proposal recommendations provided for the 2014 Guidelines clearly address storage, clearance, operation, safety and liability, and maintenance issues of resident operated mobility devices.

The angle a torsion spring’s legs simulate when it is in its free position. This angle is determined by the total amount of coils this spring has since the legs start at the point where the coil ends. Also known as its unloaded position. Determining the free position of a torsion spring based on its total coils is not an easy task. Here we will show you just how to do so. If you have a spring with 4.25 coils, for example, the free position would be of 90º (degrees). The reason for this is because when a spring has an solid number of coils such as 2, 3, 4, etc., the tips of the wire where the coil ended meet at the top of the spring. This causes your spring to have a 0º (degree) angle because the legs make a straight line. If you want your torsion spring’s legs to be at an angle during its free state (without any load being applied to it), you will have to either add or subtract the fraction of a coil. Take a look at the following examples and formulas to learn more about how you calculate the torsional spring dimension of your torsion spring’s free position. You have a spring with 4.25 coils. Since you have a “fraction” of a coil at the end of your torsion spring, you will calculate it as such and convert it into degrees by multiplying the partial last coil by 360º. This means you will multiply 0.250 by 360º as shown in the formula and diagram provided. Your mechanism needs your torsional spring to have a free position of 180º but how many coils does your spring need to have in order to achieve this free position? This time you will calculate backwards. Divide your free position of 180º by the 360º and you will get the fractional or partial coil you will need to add to your spring in order to achieve this free position. The direction of wind of your torsional spring also has a lot to do with your spring’s free position and it will make a difference when being installed. When designing your torsion spring, you must take into consideration which leg will be stationary and which direction you expect the other leg to rotate or deflect. The legs will only be able to travel inward as shown in the deflection diagram provided below. To determine the direction of wind on a torsion spring, you must place it in a way to where you’re looking down the center of the inner diameter and the back leg must be horizontally on top. If the back leg is pointing to the left, it is a left hand torsion spring, if it is facing to the right, it is a right hand torsion spring. No matter which position your spring is in, the direction of wind will remain the same. Take a look at the images provided below to see some examples about how the free position affects your spring design and how to determine the direction of wind.

Fruit trees such as a plum tree are an ideal addition to any garden or landscape. Unfortunately, they are ideal for several pests and critters, such as opossums, skunks and especially raccoons. Raccoons can be damaging to your plum tree, so it is important to keep them away. Remember basic things to keep raccoons away, such as tightly cover trash cans to reduce foraging and to clean up food from trees that has fallen to the ground. There are some key things to keep in mind when deterring raccoons, such as ammonia soaking to a high fence. Soak an old towel in ammonia. Ball up the towel and place it at the base of the plum tree. You can also wrap it around the base of the tree. Raccoons detest the smell of ammonia, so this is a good start to keeping them away from your plum tree. Us a pest repellent spray such as Capsaicin to discourage the raccoons. Use fruit tree netting to protect individual plum trees or rows. These are very effective but take some time and preparation to secure. Make sure you fasten the netting to the trunk or the ground, so the raccoons cannot crawl underneath. Use a fence if all else fails, right around the base of the trunk that's at least four feet high. Raccoons give up easily, so if there is an obstruction in their way to the plum tree they will most likely give up.

When you are looking at the Six Sigma methodology for the first time or if you don't really understand how to use Six Sigma in practice, there is nothing better than checking out some six sigma project examples. Discover everything you need to know about Six Sigma projects. You shouldn't have a pre-determined solution for the project. You should be able to easily identify the process inputs and outputs. When you are looking at a Six Sigma project, you need to make sure that you ate able to put yourself in a perspective where you can understand the variation in the process inputs. In addition, you need to be able to control them and eliminate the defects. In case you already know the answer, all you need to do is to apply it. Check out our free Six Sigma training. When you are looking for internal defects in the process, you should consider looking at anything that you can recycle or rework in-house, as well as any scrap materials, parts or issues. This is another area of the process that is usually up for a Six Sigma project. In this case, you should look for anything that hasn't been rejected or audited by you but you know that it doesn't meet regulations, anything that you can cover for by having someone in the customer's plant, or even anything that you can inspect and that contains to protect the customer. Do you need a Six Sigma certification? When you have materials incoming, you should definitely try to discover whether there is a variation as well as how big this variation is. The truth is that this can have a huge impact on the output. In addition, you can also apply Six Sigma to determine if there is a way that you can compensate for these changes (by controlling other variables), among others. Discover everything you need to know about Kaizen and Kaizen Blitz. One of the best things that you can do to choose a good Six Sigma project is by using the Gemba walk. In case you are not familiar with the term, all you need to do is that it is a process that is based on the personal observation of work where it is happening. So, instead of sitting in a conference room and discussing what might be doing wrong or what could be done in a better way is to go directly to the source and observe directly what is happening. The Gemba walk has been used successfully by Toyota for many years.

One of Iowa’s only aquaponic farms is now providing fresh produce and fresh fish year-round. The centerpiece of All Seasons Harvest near Cedar Falls is a climate-controlled 6,000 suare foot greenhouse. Bob Moulds is president and CEO of the facility. Moulds says he and his two sons have been fine-tuning their products for more than a year. Moulds says, “We raise fish to produce nutrients in the water of which bacteria converts the waste from the fish into usable nutrients and provide the food for the plants.” The fresh water fish are tilapia, the 6th most common seafood product in the U.S. They’re being raised as part of the 9,000 gallon closed system. No herbicides, insecticides or other chemicals are used in the process as they would harm the fish. Moulds says he’s frustrated their products can’t be labeled “organic” as they’re not grown in dirt. He hopes to develop a label for his product and others like it to be classified as “all natural” but it may take years to get U.S.D.A. certification.

In the early days of firearms history, there was no automatic reloading mechanism for firearms, so once the firearm was discharged, the time taken to reload a firearm was pretty high. During this time, the user of the firearm was at great risk of a counter-attack unless he had some other weapon to defend himself. With this view, there were several weapons developed that would combine a firearm with some other weapon. Unlike a rifle with a bayonet attached, these weapons were primarily designed as axes, swords, daggers etc., but had a pistol attached. The first class of weapons that we will study are the pistol-battle axes. These first appeared in Europe in the late 1400s and still continued to be used into the 1800s in some parts of the world. The weapon in the illustration above is a pistol-axe made in Germany in the beginning of the 17th century. The reader may note that this weapon has a wheel-lock firing mechanism near the head of the axe. The barrel is six inches long and fires out of the top of the axe. The handle behind the wheel-lock is about 2.5 feet long and has the trigger mechanism at the end of the handle. This weapon was designed to be used by a horseback rider. The above illustrations show two more fine German made pistol-axes, from the Dresden museum. As before, these use a wheel-lock firing mechanism as well. The triggers for these two axes are located just below the wheel-locks. The axe heads have a blade edge on one side for cutting and a ice-pick like spiked point on the other side to pierce through tough plate armor. The top spikes of the axes are removable to reveal the hollow barrels inside. Note that these two axes are much more expensive and have better workmanship than the previous one and also have intricate engravings on the body of the axes. The next two illustrations are an axe using matchlock firing mechanism and another one using the flintlock firing mechanism. This particular flintlock axe was made in Germany in the late 17th century. Flintlock axes were also heavily used by the Polish Cavalry between the 16th and 18th centuries and was one of their trademark weapons. The above illustrations are an Indian made Tabar axe from the 17th century. This one uses a matchlock firing mechanism as well. There is no real trigger, as the matchlock is mounted on a long thin lever around a pivot point, as can be seen in the first illustration. The fire is applied by simply pulling the other end of the long thin lever. This axe is an all-steel construction and originally had gold inlay, most of which is worn off. Judging by the carvings on the axe head, this was probably owned by a Hindu, since at least four human figures are depicted. The next illustration is a weapon dating from the 19th century. This is a pistol axe taken from the Santal tribe of India. The Santals are a tribe that traditionally occupied areas of the modern day Indian states of Bihar, West Bengal, Orissa and Assam. This particular weapon is 16.5 inches (approx. 42 cm.) long, of which 8.5 inches (21.6 cm.) is the pistol barrel. It is a very light weapon and the thickness of the barrel at the muzzle is only 0.2 inches (approx. 0.5 cm.). Axes were the most common weapons to be combined with pistols, since these two were the easiest to combine together. These designs were very widespread indeed. In the next few posts, we will see other weapons that were combined with pistols.

Mild temperatures and plenty of residential areas make Anaheim, CA, an ideal place for wildlife. Residents frequently spend time outside, sometimes leaving food scraps and garbage in yards. These habits invite nuisance species like raccoons, squirrels, and coyotes to visit local neighborhoods. These flying mammals can fit through holes the size of a dime. Gaps around pipes, broken vents, and cracked fascia boards are typical access points for bats. When they find their way inside houses, the animals sometimes get trapped in wall voids or fly around bedrooms. Raccoons eat pet food and trash left outdoors in Anaheim. The more meal sources the pests have, the greater their populations. In California, many of the animals carry raccoon roundworm, and they pass the parasites' eggs in their feces. Residents should wear protective clothing when cleaning up raccoon latrines around woodpiles, porches, and other parts of the yard. A frequent sight in Anaheim's urban areas, ground and tree squirrels can cause problems for homeowners. When a ground squirrel burrows under foundations, repairs are often costly. A tree squirrel typically gains access to a home by way of branches hanging over roofs. Loose shingles are enough to allow the pests into attics where they tear up insulation and gnaw on wires. Coyotes can rapidly lose their fear of humans after finding food in neighborhoods. Attacks on dogs and cats are a common concern when coyote packs hunt near homes. Opossums are another nuisance pest in California. To protect her young from predators, a female opossum may den beneath a house or deck.

NGC 5426 and NGC 5427 are two spiral galaxies of similar sizes engaged in a dramatic dance. It is not certain that this interaction will end in a collision and ultimately a merging of the two galaxies, although the galaxies have already been affected. Together known as Arp 271, this dance will last for tens of millions of years, creating new stars as a result of the mutual gravitational attraction between the galaxies, a pull seen in the bridge of stars already connecting the two. Located 90 million light-years away towards the constellation of Virgo (the Virgin), the Arp 271 pair is about 130 000 light-years across. It was originally discovered in 1785 by William Herschel. Quite possibly, our own Milky Way will undergo a similar collision in about five billion years with the neighbouring Andromeda galaxy, which is now located about 2.6 million light-years away from the Milky Way. This image was taken with the EFOSC instrument, attached to the 3.58-metre New Technology Telescope at ESO's La Silla Observatory in Chile. The data were acquired through three different filters (B, V, and R) for a total exposure time of 4440 seconds. The field of view is about 4 arcminutes. Position (Dec): -6° 2' 45.54"

Zinc is a fairly rare element, constituting less than 0.0001% of the earth’s crust, yet it is one of the most widely used metal elements. It is very active, reacting with both acids and alkalis. In humans and animals, Zinc is an essential trace element. It is found in high concentration in the red blood cells where it is an essential part of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, which promotes many reactions relating to CO2 metabolism. It is also found in the pancreas where it may help in the storage of insulin. It is also a component of enzymes that digest proteins in the gastrointestinal tract. Zinc is an essential component of several important enzyme systems in plants, including the transformation of carbohydrates. It regulates the consumption of sugars, and it controls the synthesis of indole-acetic acid, an important plant growth regulator. Terminal growth areas are affected first when zinc is deficient. Zinc is absorbed by plants as the zinc ion (Zn++). It is most commonly used in agriculture in its sulfate form. Excessive amounts are toxic. In certain chemical compounds, it is used as herbicide.

Surely you have ever heard this question in your life. If you have dry or normal hair, it is not recommended to wash it every day. The washing can damage the hair by the continuous use of shampoo chemicals, just as water causes the oxidation of the hair fiber, which affects both the scalp and the skin of our body. If your hair tends to grease, you do not have to put up with dirty hair, it is better to wash it. Nowadays, you can find many specific and soft products to be able to use them daily without damaging the hair so much. Of course, you should moisturize very well and not abuse the dryer every time you wash it. Undoubtedly, washing your hair every three or four days (and wearing extensions or wigs from time to time) is one of the best-kept secrets of Kim’s super-long hair.

Signing books can be a lonely business sometimes--thank goodness Chapters Strawberry Hill is in my parents' neighbourhood! My mother was the first to stop at the table. I also enjoyed meeting the neices of Dr. Shimi Kang, author of The Dolphin Way, who enjoyed an impromptu sword fight in the front of the store. I bet that was a first for everyone!

We are back as volunteers at Toro Regional Park in Monterey County in California a second time. We will be working here until the begining of March 2002. In return for working 20 hours a week we receive the use of a full hook-up site. The scenery is beautiful. These pictures were taken last year. We are in a different site within the park this year. Wild turkeys are common here. Deer forage right in the yard regularly. One of our favorite activities here was hiking. The park has 4,758 acres, of which only a small part is accessible by car. The rest is accessible by trails for bicycles, horses, and on foot. It is very hilly with many challenging trails. It is very common to see deer, coyotes, bobcats, and wild turkeys. There are also wild pigs and cougars in the park as well as skunks, raccoons, many varieties of birds. We spent an extended time at this park, two winters in a row. We chose to do this for a number of reasons, the main one being our easy access to the location of our youngest son and his family. This is a county park and is a day use facility so there are no night duties. The park has four volunteer positions and you are asked to work each Monday and a total of 24 hours for a single and 32 hours for a couple. The Monday duties, four hours each, consist of cleaning all restrooms and picking up trash as well as removing garbage. The other work hours are spent manning the entry gate to collect fees, doing maintenance around the park and cleaning the employee lounge and shop. Telephones in the RVs are available if you pay the phone bill but cell service is poor. Internet is not available except by phone or at the office about 1 mile away. There is laundry equipment available near the RV sites and the view from some spots is terrific The park provides uniforms..

Students will also become familiar with software tools available on the workstations in the laboratory, particularly the Computer Algebra System, Maple.

The absolute magnitude of a star is a simple way of describing its luminosity. Luminosity, L, is a measure of the total amount of energy radiated by a star or other celestial object per second. A force that tends to pull a particle or body toward the axis around which it rotates.

The National Gallery of Art is an art museum, located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The museum was established in 1938 by the United States Congress, with funds for construction and a substantial art collection donated by Andrew W. Mellon plus major art works donated by Lessing J. Rosenwald, Italian art contributions from Samuel Henry Kress, and more than 2,000 sculptures, paintings, pieces of decorative art, and porcelains from Joseph E. Widener. As a result of bequests such as these, the National Gallery today houses one of the finest collections of Western painting and sculpture in the world.

First part of Taiyo Park is the other side of it which is the Hakucho Castle. This castle (reproduction of Neuschwanstein Castle from Germany) is a building that becomes the main area of the park. The swan Castle (Hakucho-ji) of medieval European style was completed in 2008. There is a Welcome House Swan and then monorail which is included in the entrance fee. On the 3rd floor to 7th floor are the 3D-studios (anamorphic illusions) which grabbed my attention because this was my first time to play the illusions behind the magnificent arts.

See how we can generate clean, renewable energy from hot water sources deep beneath the Earth's surface. The video highlights the basic principles at work in geothermal energy production, and illustrates three different ways the Earth's heat can be converted into electricity. Below is the text version for the Energy 101: Geothermal Energy video. The words "Energy 101: Geothermal Energy" appear onscreen, followed by footage of a natural hot springs swimming pool. You may have relaxed in a natural hot springs pool. Footage of a hot water geyser. Or seen the Old Faithful geyser blasting hot water into the air in Yellowstone National Park. But have you ever thought of where all that heat comes from? Footage of natural geothermal features. Well, it comes from deep beneath the surface of the earth—and it's called geothermal energy. Footage of various geothermal energy facilities. And we can use it to generate clean renewable electricity. OK, here's how geothermal works. Animation of how geothermal energy is generated underground. Heat from the earth's crust warms water that has seeped into underground reservoirs. When water becomes hot enough it can break through the earth's surface as steam or hot water. This usually happens where the earth's crust or "plates" meet and shift. In the past, taking advantage of geothermal energy was limited to areas where hot water flowed near the surface. But as geothermal technologies advance, we can leverage even more of these natural renewable energy sources. Engineers have developed a few different ways to produce power from geothermal wells drilled into the ground. Footage of a dry steam geothermal energy facility. Have a look at this. It's a dry steam geothermal power plant, and it's the most common type of geothermal technology used today. Underground steam flows directly to a turbine to drive a generator that produces electricity. Pretty straightforward. Animation of how geothermal energy is generated through a flash steam power plant. Another geothermal technology is called a flash steam power plant. A pump pushes hot fluid into a tank at the surface, where it cools. As it cools, the fluid quickly turns into vapor—or "flash" vaporizes. The vapor then drives a turbine and powers a generator. Footage of a binary cycle geothermal energy facility. A binary cycle plant works differently. Animation of how geothermal energy is generated through a binary cycle power plant. It uses two types of fluid. Hot fluid from underground heats a second fluid, called a heat transfer fluid, in a giant heat exchanger. The second fluid has a much lower boiling point than the first fluid, and so it "flashes" into vapor at a lower temperature. When the second fluid flashes, it spins a turbine that drives a generator. The environmental benefits of this clean, round-the-clock renewable energy source are substantial: low emissions, small physical footprint, and minimal environmental impact. The few byproducts that can come up are often re-injected underground. Footage of a geothermal facility that recycles its wastewater. Geothermal energy can also help recycle wastewater. In California, wastewater from the city of Santa Rosa is injected into the ground to generate more geothermal energy. Footage of a geothermal facility that recovers and recycles its sulphur byproduct. Some plants do produce solid waste, but that solid waste may contain minerals that we can remove and sell, which lowers the cost of this energy source. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that untapped geothermal resources in the United States, if developed, could supply the equivalent of 10% of today's energy needs. In fact, electricity generated by geothermal energy already provides about 60% of the power along the northern California coast. Footage of the Golden Gate Bridge and a coastline. From the Golden Gate Bridge to the Oregon state line. Geothermal energy…helping to push America toward energy independence, and a clean, renewable way to meet our growing energy demands.

STENCIL: This consists of a frame onto which a mesh is attached under tension. The mesh is coated or covered with a photosensitive material. The image to be printed is created photographically on the stencil leaving open areas of mesh through which ink passes. The stencil is also known as “the screen”. SQUEEGEE: A flexible polyurethane blade (sometimes rubber) held in a rigid mount or handle. INK: Can take the form of a wide range of solids or dyes suspended in a fluid. SUBSTRATE: This is a general term for the surface that is to be printed, such as a polo shirt. MACHINE BASE: The base provides a surface for the substrate to be printed against and the upper section secures the screen. In conventional screen-printing the squeegee carries out two functions. It deflects the stencil and brings it into contact with the substrate. The squeegee is held at an angle of typically 75 degrees to the horizontal. Applications for Screen Printing. What makes screen printing so popular is the ability to lay down a film of a wide range of materials on a vast range of substrates. The image to be printed is created on the printing plate, normally produced by chemical etching. The plate is generally steel or a nylon photopolymer material. Pad printing inks contain solvents. When the ink is contained within the etched image area the evaporation of solvents causes the surface of the ink to become tacky. The shape of the pad is such that when it compresses on the plate the printing surface of the pad rolls across the plate. As it does so it comes into contact with the tacky surface of the ink. The ink sticks to the pad, as the pad lifts the printing surface rolls away from the plate and lifts up ink from the etching. Whilst the pad moves towards the object to be printed the solvent continues to evaporate from the ink on the pad and the outside surface of the ink becomes tacky. As the pad makes contact with the object and compresses, the print surface of the pad rolls across the object and the tacky surface of the ink attaches itself to the surface of the object. The pad then lifts and the printing surface of the pad rolls away from the surface of the object and releases the ink leaving it laying on the surface. Whilst this is happening the etched portion of the plate is recharged with ink, and the pad returns to pick up another image from the plate. A whole range of variables will affect pad printing. Etch depth, ink condition, ambient conditions, pad shape, surface finish, hardness and machine speed are the key factors. With this method the lasers are used to engrave, etch or mark an object. The technique utilises a computerised system to drive the movements of the laser head. Very precise and clean engravings can be achieved at a high rate. It is this level of detail that makes it ideal for creating a high quality, cost effective means of personalising a wide variety of materials in particular metal, glass and wood. The laser engraving technique does not involve tool bits coming into contact with the surface of the product being engraved. This means laser engraving is at a distinct advantage over alternative engraving, and less modern technologies, where bit heads have to be replaced regularly. This is the application of embroidering a logo or design onto clothing, caps or bags using computerised embroidery machines. There are two main parts to this process. The first part is ‘Digitizing’ which is when the logo is turned into stitches by physically tracing the design and creating the various types of stitches on a computer programme which will recreate the design. The digitizer will decide the best way for the design to be sewn onto the fabric, and will make decisions according to the fabric type and design size. Once the design has been digitized a disk is made which controls the embroidery machines. Now the design is ready for part two. This is the sewing process; firstly the disk is sampled on a loose piece of fabric to ensure that the quality is good and that there are no errors in the digitizing. Once the sample has been approved production can commence. Some designs may need to be modified before they can be embroidered successfully. Small text below 4-5mm may need enlarging slightly and designs with very fine detail may require editing in order to achieve the best overall look. A digital transfer is a way of producing full colour designs, which are too complex to be screen printed, for application onto garments, caps or bags via a heat process.The required image is printed onto white transfer paper. This is then cut out with a plotter, which is a machine that cuts through paper following an outline drawn in Adobe Illustrator. The transfer paper is then placed onto the object. The correct amount of heat and pressure is then applied. This is a precise process which ensures there is no damage to the surface of the product. The image then adheres permanently to the object. In this mono process, a metal blocking die or plate is produced from the artwork. It is placed in the blocking machine and is heated. The product is below, held in a jig. Between the two is a 'foil' running from one reel to another. When the hot block is put, under pressure, against the product with the foil in between, the part of the block in contact with the product is the raised part on which the image appears. The result of this process is that the foil attaches itself to the product in the form of your image. Foils can be of a selection of colours, but gold and silver are the most often used. The result is a really shiny gold or silver image. Tints cannot be used, or very fine details shown.

As far as the topic of quality verses quantity go I know that both are important in the creative process, but quantity seems to be the most important. When making thumbnails or mind maps the more I seem to make the closer I get to a better idea and outcome. Redoing each thumbnail making each one better and better you discover new possibilities. The more of something you make the better you get at the production. I think that the quality comes from the quantity. One must work up to have the quality, but first the sketches or what have you must be produced.

What is needed to travel across the U.S. – Canadian Border? Effective 06/01/09 all US citizens must have a valid passport to re-enter the US. A 2004 law is phasing in new rules for travel between Canada and the United States. Since January 2007 U.S. citizens traveling by air to and from Canada have needed a valid passport to enter or re-enter the United States. Beginning January 31, 2008, U.S. and Canadian citizens aged 19 and older traveling into the U.S. from Canada by land or sea (including ferries) have had to present documents denoting citizenship and identity. This change primarily affects American and Canadian citizens who have previously been permitted entry into the U.S. by oral declaration alone, and marks the transition toward standard and consistent documents for all travelers entering the U.S. Acceptable documentation includes a valid passport or government-issued photo identification such as a driver’s license and proof of citizenship such as a birth certificate. Children aged 18 and under need only to present a birth certificate. A list of acceptable documents is found at http://canada.usembassy.gov. Travelers who do not present acceptable documents may be delayed as U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the port of entry attempt to verify identity and citizenship. Beginning in June 2009, all travelers, including U.S. citizens, will have to present a passport or other secure document that denotes identity and citizenship when entering the U.S. from Canada. Full disclosure information can also be found on the U.S. State Department website at http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1082.html.

There are different kinds of funding available to finance your studies, and it helps to understand the differences between them. Let’s start by looking at the difference between bursaries, loans, and scholarships. A student loan is a type of loan designed to help students pay for tertiary education. It usually includes tuition fees, books and supplies, and living expenses. Student loans are loans are not the same as bursaries. They need to be paid back – and the amount includes interest. Usually, only the interest portion needs to be paid during the study period. The main amount is payable after you have qualified. To qualify for a student loan, you need to have an employed sponsor such as a parent, guardian or relative to stand surety. This means that they will be responsible for repaying the monthly interest on the loan while you are studying. The main portion of the loan is in your (the student’s) name and needs to be repaid by you after you are qualified and working. Loans are awarded to applicants based on their need and family income. Loans are also always linked to interest rates. If you receive a loan you would be required to repay the loan in full as well as the accumulated interest.

Abstract: The ability to generate transgenic plants has been extensively applied in the study of potato tuber metabolism. All the major pathways, including many of the steps of carbohydrate metabolism have now been investigated by metabolic engineering strategies. The wide range of results that has been achieved, ranging from the insignificant to the dramatic, is reviewed in this article. It is concluded that a better knowledge of the interaction between metabolism and gene expression is required before transgenic approaches can be developed that lead to significant yield increases.

A neck of ideal length is about one third of the horse's length, measured from poll to withers, with a length comparable to the length of the legs. An ideally placed neck is called a horizontal neck. It is set on the chest neither too high nor too low, with its weight and balance aligned with the forward movement of the body. The horse is easy to supple, d...evelop strength, and to control with hand and legs aids. Although relatively uncommon, it is usually seen in Thoroughbreds, American Quarter Horses, and some Warmbloods. Horizontal neck is advantageous to every sport, as the neck is flexible and works well for balancing. A short neck is one that is less than one third the length of the horse. Short necks are common, and found in any breed. A short neck hinders the balancing ability of the horse, making it more prone to stumbling and clumsiness. A short neck also adds more weight on the forehand, reducing agility.

While summer months seem like the obvious time to plant vegetables and fruit, there are several cool season spring vegetables that can be started now, producing beautiful veggies ready for your summer dishes. Since spring in South Dakota often means drastic weather changes, we suggest planning your cool season veggies in pots. On warm days, place the pots outside and bring them back in at night. This will help you avoid frost and ensure your veg is getting enough warm sunlight during the day. The plants we recommend below can be planted from seed and produce a good summer harvest. Lettuce, spinach and kale come in a large variety of options. If you are just starting out with planting and eating your own greens, we suggest planting a variety of baby greens, different types of spinach and kale to narrow down what you like and what grows set based on your climate. If you want a fast growing vegetable, radishes are the way to go as they are often ready to be harvested in three weeks or less. You can easily plant radishes alongside a variety of greens. The most popular type of radish is round, red or pink and can be found in any grocery store. Like greens, radishes can also come in a variety of colors, shapes, sizes and different levels of sweet or spicy. Peas are a great crop to have your kids help you with. They are easy to handle, plant and harvest. Peas can take anywhere from 50 to 65 days to mature, depending on the variety, and can grow either as vines or as 'bushes'. Before planting, we suggest soaking your pea seeds overnight in water.

When you first realize that you are suffering from Candida overgrowth and decide to start the cleanse, it can be challenging to find one in a store that is reasonably priced and provides everything that you need. Instead of wandering around to all of the health food stores, you can make your own in just a few minutes. Because you’re making it at home, it is almost guaranteed to be less expensive and you will have the opportunity to change it each time that you make it, so it will eventually taste better. If you bought one, it would always taste the same each time you drank it, and in my experience, they do not seem to improve in taste over a period of time. There are many different ways that you can do a candida cleanse, at home, to start the Candida diet out the right way. Unfortunately, this could be one of the least pleasant parts of the diet, because not only will be your diet be severely restricted during this first 48 hours, but you will also be taking steps to thoroughly clean out your digestive system. As the saying goes, “What goes in must come out,” and this is the proof .What that means is that many of the items that you have been eating, as well as the Candida overgrowth itself, are likely to have lodged firmly in your body after digestion. To put it delicately, you will need to encourage your bowels to do their work and release the extra waste. If you chose option 1, be sure that you understand how to do so and are using the appropriate tools. Do not perform more than one enema within a seven day period, unless you have been advised to do so by a medical care provider who is familiar with your needs. A colonic irrigation is usually performed in a medical setting by trained personnel and a juice fast, even though it is the more natural option does not always provide the anticipated results as quickly as hoped. Although you do not want to take enough of these items to cause diarrhea, particularly since you also did the bowel cleanse, you will want to consume enough probiotics that you are likely to see an effect. Typically, the average, healthy person who has no other major challenges to their health except the Candida overgrowth could begin with a dose of one capsule a day, or at least three plain, unflavored yogurts with live, active bacteria a day. Obviously, there is going to be a better concentration of Probiotics, so at least for the duration of time that you are using the cleanse, it may be a better idea for you to consume the capsules during this time period. The same herbs, including garlic and oil of oregano, that you can use during the diet itself are also acceptable during this time period. Otherwise, the 24-48 hour period should be fasting, with only the inclusion of the yogurt mentioned previously, water, green vegetables and fruit that is not sweet. There is no doubt that it could be difficult, but the rewards are worth it. Remember to drink a lot of water.

As with everyone else, an EASY trim job to fit them and it looks sick! Easy install. I trimmed the edges before installing the covers. I was just going to get some yellow LED bulbs but these do the job at a fraction of the price. I had to trim them a little but it wasn't a big deal and easy to do with an Xacto knife. overall it was great and I love the look of them.

Today there are different ways in which one can generate power to his or her house. This is different from some few years back when we used only one method in generating power that is the use of electricity that was generated from water. All you need if have a clear idea of what you need to do and then make sure that the idea can work out on you. Some homes have the best methods that suit them the best. You need to look at the cost of the method that you intend to use, climate, and the geographical set up of the area before you choose any method. The best thing that one should do whenever you are choosing a method to use in generating power at your home is to make sure you understand all these things and also chose the best method that will suit you. Wind turbines have been noted to be the best power generators so far in the world. The method suits those who have built their homes in windy areas. The wind is the one that is used to run the turbines and later generate some power from the wind energy. The wind turbines do not generate any power if there is no wind to turn them. You should be keen before choosing this method. If you are not sure if you can use the wind turbines to generate electricity, then it would be good if you consider getting some help from an expert. Let them advise you if you can really use this method or you need to use another method. However, wind turbines are the best for one to use at his or her home to generate some power. Below are some of the benefits associated with using the power from the wind at home. You will get to reduce the cost of power at your homes. Some people use the power for cooking, lighting up their homes, and also cooking. Once you have performed such tasks, then you notice that your power bill will always go up and might be too much for you to pay. With the wind turbines, you will get to enjoy more because you will not have to pay for the power you use. The good news is that you will not have to pay for the bill.

One of the best markets for landscape photography are annual calendars. Recently two of Jay’s images were chosen by a local company for publication in their large art calendar. This photo, titled Reflections of Beauty, was selected for the cover. This one – titled Stranded – was selected for the October page. Images for calendars like these are chosen based upon location, theme, or terrain (seascapes, forests, waterfalls, mountains, etc.) – and shots from National Parks are some of the most popular. Most of the time, the calendar company is looking for landscape images that are appropriate for a particular season – so we try to make sure that we shoot in a variety of seasons. For example, if you have photos of Yosemite in Summer, but not in Winter, the publisher will have to go with someone else for those winter images. We visit locations more than once to fill in gaps in our portfolios. Several months ago, we got a call from National Geographic asking about images for their 2010 Calendars. In the end, they selected two images from National Parks which were published in their 2010 National Park’s engagement calender. The market for landscape photography for calender companies is pretty broad. You can maximize your chances of getting published by expanding your portfolio to include a diverse set of images from a variety of locations – during a variety of seasons.

Veneers work by covering the front of the teeth to improve their overall appearance. They can alter shape, size, length, and color. Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to staining and thus remain a beautiful looking solution for many years. The veneers process begins with a consultation where patients can discuss their concerns and desired results. Once the decision has been made to move forward with veneers, they can be placed in two appointments in as little as two weeks. Veneers are a conservative approach to dramatically enhancing the appearance of the smile. They are a stronger and more aesthetically appeasing than crowns and do not require extensive alteration of the natural tooth. With proper care porcelain veneers can be long lasting.

Renowned Filipino Leprologist and researcher, Dr. Rodriguez devoted 53 years to the control of leprosy in the country. As one of the very few pioneers in the early fight against leprosy all over the world, he proposed a control program which was not only adopted in the Philippines but in other Asian countries as well. Dr. Rodriguez had written many scientific articles on leprosy which have been published in various journals all over the worl and considered classics in leprosy research.

Films such as “National Treasure” love to play on conspiracy theories, and the Eye of Providence is a favourite that shows up time and again. But what does it actually mean, and is there any real conspiracy behind it? What is this thing? You’ve probably seen this eye in a bunch of conspiracy theories and illuminati references. It’s the same eye you see on the back of a US dollar bill, and it’s even part of the Great Seal of the United States. No, not there: It’s actually on the other side. Yes, the seal has two sides. But this symbol’s meaning and creation actually have nothing to do with any of that. But this symbol’s meaning and creation actually have nothing to do with any of that. It shows an eye, often surrounded by rays of light, enclosed by a triangle. Artists used it to represent the all-seeing eye of God. The three points of the triangle represent the Christian mythology of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The rays of light are stand-ins for holiness and divinity. One of the first known appearances of it is in this painting: the Supper of Emmaus painted for the Carthusians in 1525. If you go even farther back in history, you can find an eye being used in ancient Egyptian times. For example, the “Eye of Horus” belongs to Horus, the sky god, often depicted as a falcon. It’s a falcon’s eye. Fast-forward to the founding of the United States, and it ended up on the back end of the Great Seal on top of a pyramid. Why? Steven C. Bullock: The pyramid is a sign of strength and survival and long-lasting, and that’s showing that the new nation is going to survive and last a long time, and it’s built on 13 different steps meaning the 13 new states, the 13 former colonies. It was a few years later that the Freemasons started using the eye. Some think it’s the masons’ way of projecting their own watchful power, but it’s actually the opposite. Freemasons were reminding themselves to keep to their own strict moral standards, not push their values on the general public. Other conspiracies say the eye on the seal of the United States and the dollar bill means the government is always watching us. But again, its real meaning goes back to a higher power. Steven C. Bullock: It’s supposed to represent America being watched over by God, America being created under God’s watchful eye. So how did the symbol get so tarnished? Why is it tangled in so many conspiracy theories? Joseph Uscinski: All symbols are easy for people to digest. Their easy on the brain, you know, whereas data and evidence is much tougher for us we have to digest it and think about it and come to new conclusions. Symbols can be very powerful. Here’s this symbol, it’s on the back of the dollar bill. You can attach a picture to it. And it’s much easier to do that than to say, “Well listen, we have free markets and we have democracy and both those things are incredibly messy and no one is really controlling it,” but if I give you a few symbols and attach a name to it, all of a sudden you have an evil villain that you can pin the blame on. OK. But evil villains do exist … is it really such a stretch to believe others like them might be using symbols to signal their secret intentions? Joseph Uscinski: There are all sorts of things that people see that they think are clues put out there. So the dollar bill, the way the roads are made in Washington, DC. There’s a painting in the airport in Colorado that people think is really an illuminati base because there’s a weird painting painted on the wall there. People think there are secret messages in the movies in the music. The truth is if you’re pulling off a grand conspiracy the idea is that you want to do this in secret, you don’t want to be caught, you don’t want to put out clues. It doesn’t make sense. None of this makes sense. So instead of signifying an all-seeing power that watches over us all, and hints to greater and more sinister plans ahead, maybe the simpler explanation is true: It’s just a symbol.

So many Christians become chameleons in the wilderness, turning invisible in an effort to avoid extinction. But we are challenged not simply to survive in the world - but to thrive, with a variety of God-given spiritual gifts. City mice can't cut it. No, they can't even squeak by. You know the classic children's tale: A cosmopolitan city mouse decides to leave her home at the zoo and visit her untamed country cousin. No surprise here. Most mice, and plenty of people, feel more comfortable and safer in familiar surroundings. No one likes to be in a situation for which he is unprepared ... especially if he might end up as someone else's dinner.

I know it’s summer, and I know that in the south that entails stifling heat and and hair ruining humidity, but I’m really having issues dealing with it this year. Today I took Bella for a run/jog/walk/die in the middle of the road adventure and it was seriously miserable. My lungs raised a little white flag half way through and I could have formed a small lake with the amount of sweat that was dripping off me after only a small amount of physical exertion. At least I’m up in VA where I know its a little bit more bearable than down in Tallahassee. Anyway, once again I’m slacking in the project 365 department.

Kielce ([ˈkʲɛlt͡sɛ] ( listen); Yiddish: קעלץ‎, Keltz) is a city in south central Poland with 199,475 inhabitants. It is also the capital city of the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship (Holy Cross Voivodeship) since 1999, previously in Kielce Voivodeship (1919–1939, 1945–1998). The city is located in the middle of the Świętokrzyskie Mountains (Holy Cross Mountains), at the banks of the Silnica River, in northern part of the historical Polish province of Lesser Poland.

Benefits of Pursuing an MBA Online. Accessibility. The ability to access online lectures and other study materials anywhere can make an enormous difference to your success. When it comes to getting a Master of Business Degree, the road ahead is pretty tough. There's no doubt about the fact that it takes a lot of work and dedication to complete your studies. With that being said, there are ways to help make life easier, mainly by taking your MBA program online at a University such as Southern Cross. What advantages do you get from studying for your MBA online? We all know that studying for any degree is really expensive. Sure, the rewards will be well worth the investment, but this doesn't mean that you want to spend a ton of money just getting that degree. Well, when you study for your MBA online, you can save quite a bit of money. When it comes down to it, this particular Master of Business program is one of the most affordable ones in the whole country of Australia. No, it's not cheap per say, but way more affordable than studying on campus, especially at any other institution of higher learning. Did you know that many degrees which you get in one country are not recognized in others? This is even truer when it comes to online degrees. However, this is not the case when you get your MBA online at Southern Cross University. This is one of the few online Master of Business programs that is actually recognized around the world. This means that you can study in Australia, or even take the course while you are abroad, and still have the same career advantages as if you were living in the heart of Sydney. This is indeed very rare, something that you may want to take advantage of. Another big advantage that comes with an online MBA program is that you can choose to take the basic MBA course, or you can choose to specialise in a certain field. In other words, it is one of the most versatile MBA programs in the whole world in terms of selection. If you choose to specialise, you can get your MBA in accounting, health services management, managing and leading people, and information and knowledge management. Each of these MBA specialisations will provide you with specific skills and knowledge pertinent to a very specific career field. Something that you might recognize as being a real pain in the neck is that when you study on campus there is usually only one intake period per year, sometimes two. This means that if you miss an intake period, you could wait for up to 6 months, or more, in order to start your MBA program on campus. Of course, this is not ideal. Well, if you happen to take your MBA online, there are actually 6 different intake periods. This means that if you miss one intake period, you never have to wait for longer than 2 or 3 months for the next one to come along. It's just another advantage of studying online at a prestigious university such as SCU. At the end of the day, the bottom line is that it is just much easier, faster, and more affordable to get your MBA online than it is to drag yourself to class on a daily basis for years on end.

In Southeast Asia, there is a game unlike anything I have ever seen in the United States. The game is called Sepak Takraw, and it can best be described as kick volleyball. That is right, if Volleyball and Soccer had a child, it would be something like Sepak Takraw. Similar to soccer, in Sepak Takraw, players are not allowed to use their hands or arms, but must instead use their feet, knee, chest and head to touch the ball. Sepak Takraw has professional leagues, but is not an Olympic Sport as of yet due to its lack of international presence. However, it is a constant at both the Asian Games and the Southeast Asian Games. As far as how the game is played, players compete in teams of three to score points when the ball touches the ground on the opposing team’s side of the net. However, the use of feet and a player’s body makes for some of the best highlights I have seen from any sport. Players often get airborne and flip to kick the small synthetic fiber or woven ball (measuring 42 to 44 centimeters wide for men and 43 to 45 centimeters wide for women) across the net to the other team. The scoring for Sepak Takraw is very similar to volleyball. The first team to score 21 points in two out of three sets, with the third set being played only to 11 points, win the game. It is truly a magnificent spectacle to watch. So yes, Sepak Takraw is a thing.

Out of the box, the iPhone can be used to create quick notes but when it comes to working with traditional Office documents, it is somewhat lacking. Quickoffice Mobile Office Suite aims to bridge the gap by making it possible to create, edit and email Microsoft Word and Excel files – right up to the most recent file format. Files can be transferred to a desktop computer by making use of email or browser transfer, but there is no need to installed desktop client software. Should you receive an email with a Word or Excel file attached, you need simply forward it to a special Quickoffice email address and the documents will then be accessible from within the app. This way of working takes a little getting used to, but it works well in the long run. There is also support for MobileMe. When creating and editing documents, full text formatting is available, along with copy and paste, and there is a search facility to make it easier to work with length documents on a small screen. The spreadsheet tool can be used to perform common calculations, and while this is not a replacement for a desktop office suite, it is great for working on the move when a desktop computer or laptop is not available.

The correct answer is: This year, my garden has daffodils, tulips, and roses.

The Gyrowheel is a new spin on the old training wheels that help kids learn to ride a bike. Manufactured by Gyrobike, the Gyrowheel replaces the stock bicycle front wheel and features an internal spinning disk that helps stabilize the bike, reducing wobbles and slowing falls. While the Gyrowheel doesn’t eliminate crashes and skinned knees, the company says it does reduce the amount of time needed for a new rider to gain confidence and become proficient. Gyrobike hopes its Gyrowheel will replace traditional training wheels and other types of stabilizers. Taking the place of the standard front wheel on a child's bicycle, the Gyrowheel has the same size and look of a regular wheel, except that instead of spokes it features a solid housing containing an independently spinning disk powered by a rechargeable battery. The Gyrowheel uses the gyroscopic effect, or “gyroscopic precession”, to stabilize the bike and keep the wheel upright at low speeds. Gyrobike also says that unlike outrigger-type training wheels, the Gyrowheel doesn’t teach new riders bad habits such as leaning the wrong way in a turn, or tilting to one side in a straight line. As the young rider gains confidence, the speed of the gyroscope can be adjusted to provide less stabilization over time until the student is able to balance on their own. Gyrobike reports that in the U.S., kid-sized 12-inch (30.5cm) Gyrowheels will be available for purchase in December, and a 16-inch (40.6cm) version will be available in the first half of 2010. Both sizes will be available internationally before the end of 2010. Adult-sized Gyrowheels are in development, but availability has not been announced.

Diabetes insipidus can be due to a lack of vasopressin central diabetes insipidus or due to a defect in the ability of the kidney to respond to vasopressin nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Nearly 97% of the total water absorbed by the plants is lost in the form of vapours. Growth and metabolic pattern of roots: Since the life span of root hair is short, they dry up and cease to remain functional. Increased action potential firing by the osmoreceptors also stimulates thirst. The direction of water transport across the membranes however, is not affected by aquaporins. After reading this article you will learn about 1. They benefit the plant because they increase the surface area through which they can take up water. November 2011 The absorption of water by is essential for various metabolic activities. Fortunately, tubular reabsorption mechanisms in the nephrons of your kidneys return the water and solutes that you need back into your extracellular fluid and circulatory system. Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Normally under such conditions, the water molecules should diffuse out from root hairs into external solution due to exosmosis. There are basically two main types of absorption that is done by plants including the active and passive. According to this theory, the root cells behave as an ideal osmotic pressure system through which water moves up from the soil solution to the root along an increasing gradient of D. As the cell wall is permeable, it allows both the solute and solvent to pass through it. Permanent Wilting Percentage or Wilting Coefficient 6. Therefore, they are very good for water absorption and growth. At many places these are in contact with the living cells. Therefore, they can freely pass through it by simple diffusion. Describe the water absorbing organ of plants. Explain the mechanism of active absorption of water. Vital theories of ascent of sap — Godlewski, Bose and Westermeir 3. This process is repeated till they are permanently wilted. The water is absorbed by the osmotic and non osmotic mechanisms. Physical force theories a Imbibition theory — Uinger and Sachs b Capillary theory — Boehm c Transpiration pull and cohesion of water theory. The result is that osmolarity becomes trapped in the medulla. Field Capacity or Water Holding Capacity of the Soil : After heavy rainfall or irrigation of the soil, some water is drained off along the slopes while the rest percolates down in the soil. This type of absorption takes place at the expense of energy. Transpiration and Guttation: The loss of water in the form of vapours from the living tissues of aerial parts of the plant is termed as transpiration. Initially water evaporates from a thin film lining of water air spaces. Age of plants: Rate of transpiration is slow at the seedling stage and maximum at maturity state. The osmotic process involves diffusion pressure dificit of the cells. Urine contains a diverse range of substances that are either waste products or substances ingested in excess. Water is given out in the form of vapour iii. Temperature: The rate of transpiration increases with the increase in atmospheric temperature. This is a physical phenomenon. It is a controlled phenomenon i. The percentage of the soil water is determined at this point after removing the plants from the containers and shaking off as much soil from their roots as possible. Root hairs are thin hair-like extensions from the roots of a plant. What is the Mechanism of Water Absorption Process in Plants? These H ion are directly exchanged by the cations of clay particles. They do so by regulating water reabsorption in the collecting duct. What is the sensor that triggers vasopressin secretion? According to him, Diffusion Pressure Deficit D. In most of the nephron, water reabsorption is unregulated and coupled to solute reabsorption. Quick Quiz: Water Balance Fill-in Answer Correct False Correct Answer 1. Loss of water and electrolyte homeostasis lead to elevated extracellular body fluid volume, which may produce edema and hypertension, reduced phosphate excretion, loss of bone calcium, and symptoms of lethargy, nausea, diarrhoea and vomiting. According to some physiologists, the energy is supplied by cellular respiration. Out of this latter water some amount of water gradually reaches the water table under the force of gravity gravitational water while the rest is retained by the soil. The walls of root hairs are permeable and consist of pectic substances and cellulose which are strongly hydrophilic water loving in nature. It helps in the mineral absorption and ascent of sap. D is made in the mesophyll tissue due to. Passive absorption is absorption by the pull from transpiration without the active involvement of root cells. The root tip to the apical portion of the plant there is a continuous column of water present in the xylem elements. Blood flow to the medulla is set up so as to maintain the osmotic gradient. It helps in the mineral absorption and ascent of sap. It is believed that mineral ions also move into the root along with this mass flow of water.
