Murderers' Row \| Baseball Wiki \| Fandom powered by Wikia File:1927NYYankees5.jpg Murderers' Row was the nickname given to the New York Yankees baseball team of the late 1920s , in particular the 1927 team. The term was actually coined in 1918 by a sportwriter to describe the 1918 pre- Babe Ruth Yankee lineup, a team with quality hitters such as Frank Baker and Wally Pipp , which led the A.L. in home runs with 45. A 1918 newspaper article described it: "New York fans have come to know a section of the Yankees' batting order as 'murderers' row.' It is composed of the first six players in the batting order -- Gilhooley, Peckinpaugh, Baker, Pratt, Pipp, and Bodie. This sextet has been hammering the offerings of all comers." [1] The term became revived for the Ruth, Lou Gehrig Yankee teams beginning in the mid-1920s, and was much more an appropriate term for this Yankee lineup (that produced some astounding offensive numbers) than for the earlier 1919 squad. The 1927 Yankees are recognized as one of the best teams in baseball history, alongside the 1939 Yankees, the 1961 Yankees and the 1998 Yankees. Owner Jacob Ruppert is the man most often credited for building the line-up of the team, although general manager Ed Barrow may have had as much to do with it. In a July series against the Washington Senators , the Yankees blasted their opponents 21-1 in one game and prompted Senators' first baseman Joe Judge to say, "Those fellows not only beat you but they tear your heart out. I wish the season was over." The 1927 season was particularly spectacular by baseball standards for the Yankees. After losing in the 1926 World Series to the St. Louis Cardinals , they went 110-44 the next year, winning the A.L. pennant by 19 games, and sweeping the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1927 World Series . Only four teams have won more regular season games: the 1906 Chicago Cubs and the 2001 Seattle Mariners with 116, the 1954 Cleveland Indians with 111, and the 1998 Yankees with 114. However, the '98 Yanks and the Mariners played in 162 game schedules. More importantly, both the Cubs and the Indians lost the World Series in their years, and the Mariners didn't even reach the World Series in 2001. The '27 Yankees batted .307, slugged .489, scored 975 runs, and outscored their opponents by a record 376 runs. Center fielder Earle Combs had a career year, batting .356 with 231 hits, left fielder Bob Meusel batted .337 with 103 RBIs, and second baseman Tony Lazzeri drove in 102 runs. Gehrig batted .373, with 218 hits, 52 doubles, 18 triples, 47 home runs, a then record 175 RBIs, slugged at .765, and was voted A.L. MVP. Ruth amassed a .356 batting average, 164 RBIs, 158 runs scored, walked 137 times, and slugged .772. Most notably, his 60 home runs that year broke his own record and remained the Major League mark for 34 years until Roger Maris broke it. The pitching staff led the league in ERA at 3.20, and included Waite Hoyt , who went 22-7, which tied for the league lead, and Herb Pennock , who went 19-8. Wilcy Moore won 19 as a reliever. The 1927 Yankees would eventually send six players to the Baseball Hall of Fame . Three other Yankees pitchers had ERAs under 3.00 that season. After sweeping the Pirates in the Series, the Yankees repeated the feat by sweeping the Cardinals in the 1928 World Series . The Yankees remain the only team to ever sweep the World Series in consecutive years, though the Yankee teams of 1938 - 1939 and 1998 - 1999 repeated the feat. The nickname was revived in early 2004 following the trade of Alex Rodriguez to the Yankees, and again in 2006 , when the media began labeling that year's Yankees lineup as a modern-day Murderers' Row, a squad that included Rodriguez, Derek Jeter , Johnny Damon , Gary Sheffield , Robinson Cano , Bobby Abreu , Jason Giambi and Hideki Matsui . Neither of these teams reached the World Series; the 2004 team reached the American League Championship Series but lost four straight games against the eventual champion Boston Red Sox after winning the first three games in a best-of-seven series
2 Packages of Empanada Shells for Baking. Empanadas are one of the most traditional Argentine dishes. These tiny, hand held pastries are usually served as appetizers or snacks at parties. Make your own empanadas at home, in the same manner as many Argentinians, with these premade empanada shells. To prepare your own empanadas, simply thaw these shells, stuff them with your choice of filling and bake until golden brown. Spicy beef filled empanadas are the most popular variety in Argentina but you can fill them with chicken, pork, seafood, cheese, vegetables or any combination of the above.
The Type 45 destroyer, also known as the D or "Daring" class, is an advanced class of six guided missile destroyers built for the United Kingdom's Royal Navy. The class is primarily designed for anti-aircraft and anti-missile warfare and is built around the PAAMS (Sea Viper) air-defence system utilizing the SAMPSON AESA and the S1850M long-range radars. The first three destroyers were assembled by BAE Systems Surface Fleet Solutions from partially prefabricated "blocks" built at different shipyards, the remaining three were built by BAE Systems Maritime – Naval Ships. The first ship in the "Daring" class, HMS "Daring", was launched on 1 February 2006 and commissioned on 23 July 2009.
The Pony Express: Riders of Destiny By Christopher Corbett Every spring the National Pony Express Association attempts a scrupulously authentic reenactment of the legendary cross-country mail ride linking St. Joe on the wide Missouri with the California state capital of Sacramento. But as no one is entirely sure exactly what happened on April 3, 1860 — or for the rest of the 78 or so weeks the Pony Express crossed the West — scrupulous authenticity is something of a problem. The run, of nearly 2,000 miles, is longer, its reenactors always stress, than the fabled Iditarod dog-sled race, but they don’t have to deal with Alaska’s cold. And they also avoid snow. Since there is still too much snow in much of the West at the beginning of April, the Pony re-rides are held in June. The Pony Express was in business of one sort or another between April 3, 1860, and October 26, 1861. Purists like to tweak that ending date, noting that mailbags — called mochilas — were still in transit into November. But for all practical purposes ‘our little friend the Pony,’ as the Sacramento Bee called it, ran no more after the transcontinental telegraph was completed on October 24, 1861. The story of the Pony Express is a bit like the story of Paul Revere’s ride — an actual historic event, rooted in fact and layered with centuries (a century and a half in the Pony’s case) of fabrications, embellishments and outright lies. In the mid-20th century, William Floyd, one of a legion of amateur historians to delve into the tale of the Pony Express, threw up his hands and observed, ‘It’s a tale of truth, half-truth and no truth at all.’ He was right on each account.

The business was called the Central Overland California and Pike’s Peak Express Company, a name too cumbersome to appear on anything. The company’s mail service across America in 1860 and 1861 became known as the Pony Express, a legend in its own time. Americans living on the Pacific slope in the newly minted state of California, drawn there by the Gold Rush, were desperate for news of home. The Pony Express dramatically filled that gap by promising to deliver mail across the country from the end of the telegraph in the East to the start of the telegraph in the West, in 10 days time or less. Normal mail, brought overland or via ship, took months. The term ‘pony express’ had been used before, and, indeed, Americans had transmitted information on the backs of fast horses since colonial times. Historians of mail service always note that Genghis Khan used mounted couriers. It was from the first a madcap if wonderfully romantic idea. Well-mounted light fellows (Mark Twain called them ‘little bits of men, brimful of spirit’) would, by using a series of fresh horses and relief stations, cross wild and largely uninhabited expanses from Missouri to the far coast. The firm that bankrolled the Pony — and the term bankrolled must be used very lightly, for the venture hemorrhaged money from day one — was Russell, Majors & Waddell. Household names in their heyday on the frontier, William Hepburn Russell, Alexander Majors and William Bradford Waddell had made their reputation hauling freight to military outposts. Their business may very well have been broke when the Pony Express started (the result of massive losses incurred freighting during the so-called Mormon War of the late 1850s), but no one appears to have known that. The firm’s reputation and the chutzpah of its primary spokesman, Russell, got things rolling. The business — which originally intended to cross the west once a week, moving important mail on horseback — was not a financially sound venture. Russell, Majors & Waddell spent a great deal of money on horses and dozens of way stations, which were required every 10 to 15 miles depending on the terrain. They also had to hire riders and station tenders. East of Salt Lake City, the Pony Express appears to have piggybacked on existing overland stage operations, but west of the Mormon Jerusalem, things got a little dicey. It w
Saskatchewan -LRB- -LSB- səˈskætʃəwᵻn -RSB- or -LSB- - ˌwɑːn -RSB- -RRB- is a prairie and boreal province in western Canada , the only province without natural borders . It has an area of 651900 km2 , nearly 10 percent of which -LRB- 59366 km2 -RRB- is fresh water , composed mostly of rivers , reservoirs , and the province 's 100,000 lakes . Saskatchewan is bordered on the west by Alberta , on the north by the Northwest Territories , on the east by Manitoba , to the northeast by Nunavut , and on the south by the U.S. states of Montana and North Dakota . As of December 2013 , Saskatchewan 's population was estimated at 1,114,170 . Residents primarily live in the southern prairie half of the province , while the northern boreal half is mostly forested and sparsely populated . Of the total population , roughly half live in the province 's largest city , Saskatoon , or the provincial capital , Regina . Other notable cities include Prince Albert , Moose Jaw , Yorkton , Swift Current , North Battleford , and the border city Lloydminster -LRB- partially within Alberta -RRB- . Saskatchewan is a landlocked province with large distances to moderating bodies of waters . As a result , its climate is extremely continental , rendering severe winters throughout the province . Southern areas have very warm or hot summers . Midale and Yellow Grass near the U.S. border are tied for the highest ever recorded temperatures in Canada with 45 C observed at both locations on July 5 , 1937 . In winter , temperatures below -45 C are possible even in the south during extreme cold snaps . Saskatchewan has been inhabited for thousands of years by various indigenous groups , and first explored by Europeans in 1690 and settled in 1774 . It became a province in 1905 , carved out from the vast North-West Territories , which had until then included most of the Canadian Prairies . In the early 20th century the province became known as a stronghold for Canadian social democracy ; North America 's first social-democratic government was elected in 1944 . The province 's economy is based on agriculture , mining , and energy . Saskatchewan 's current premier is Brad Wall and its lieutenant-governor is Vaughn Solomon Schofield . In 1992 , the federal and provincial governments signed a historic land claim agreement with First Nations in Saskatchewan . The First Nations received compensation and were permitted to buy land on the open market for the tribes ; they have acquired about 3079 km2 , now reserve lands . Some First Nations have used their settlement to invest in urban areas , including Saskatoon .
They are formed by the action of the skiers. As they turn, they kick up snow, which over time forms the heaps of snow that become moguls. Over time, moguls slowly actually move uphill, as skiers kick snow off the front of each mogul and towards the back. Grooming the piste is what stops them from forming.
South America became linked to North America through the Isthmus of Panama during the Pliocene, bringing a nearly complete end to South America's distinctive marsupial faunas. The formation of the Isthmus had major consequences on global temperatures, since warm equatorial ocean currents were cut off and an Atlantic cooling cycle began, with cold Arctic and Antarctic waters dropping temperatures in the now-isolated Atlantic Ocean. Africa's collision with Europe formed the Mediterranean Sea, cutting off the remnants of the Tethys Ocean. Sea level changes exposed the land-bridge between Alaska and Asia. Near the end of the Pliocene, about 2.58 million years ago (the start of the Quaternary Period), the current ice age began. The polar regions have since undergone repeated cycles of glaciation and thaw, repeating every 40,000–100,000 years.
My understanding of it is that it is a cultural/functional by now. Imagine if all the people who have been used to typing in QWERTY for their entire lives all of a sudden had to use a different set? the people it might help most (Typists and the like) would be HURT by the change of routine. Another standpoint is economic. There are a LOT of keyboards, the amount i am not qualified to estimate. it is one of the most common items in a home, for nearly every household has one at least, and if we had to change the format all of those would need to be replaced.
You might want to clarify what you mean by "better or worse". Do you mean better or worse than present-day conditions or do you mean in comparison to earlier conditions? I don't think any reasonable historian would agree with the statement that life was better for most people during that time frame than it is today, women and African Americans, especially. I could go into more detail, but I want to make sure I understand what you're asking, first.

Abraham Lincoln -LRB- -LSB- ˈeɪbrəhæm_ˈlIŋkən -RSB- February 12 , 1809 -- April 15 , 1865 -RRB- was an American politician and lawyer who served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865 . Lincoln led the United States through its Civil War -- its bloodiest war and perhaps its greatest moral , constitutional , and political crisis . In doing so , he preserved the Union , paved the way to the abolition of slavery , strengthened the federal government , and modernized the economy . Born in Hodgenville , Kentucky , Lincoln grew up on the western frontier in Kentucky and Indiana . Largely self-educated , he became a lawyer in Illinois , a Whig Party leader , and was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives , in which he served for eight years . Elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1846 , Lincoln promoted rapid modernization of the economy through banks , tariffs , and railroads . Because he had originally agreed not to run for a second term in Congress , and because his opposition to the Mexican -- American War was unpopular among Illinois voters , Lincoln returned to Springfield and resumed his successful law practice . Reentering politics in 1854 , he became a leader in building the new Republican Party , which had a statewide majority in Illinois . In 1858 , while taking part in a series of highly publicized debates with his opponent and rival , Democrat Stephen A. Douglas , Lincoln spoke out against the expansion of slavery , but lost the U.S. Senate race to Douglas . In 1860 , Lincoln secured the Republican Party presidential nomination as a moderate from a swing state . Though he gained very little support in the slaveholding states of the South , he swept the North and was elected president in 1860 . Lincoln 's victory prompted seven southern slave states to form the Confederate States of America before he moved into the White House -- no compromise or reconciliation was found regarding slavery and secession . Subsequently , on April 12 , 1861 , a Confederate attack on Fort Sumter inspired the North to enthusiastically rally behind the Union . As the leader of the moderate faction of the Republican Party , Lincoln confronted Radical Republicans , who demanded harsher treatment of the South , War Democrats , who called for more compromise , anti-war Democrats -LRB- called Copperheads -RRB- , who despised him , and irreconcilable secessionists , who plotted his assassination . Politically , Lincoln fought back by pitting his opponents against each other , by carefully planned political patronage , and by appealing to the American people with his powers of oratory . His Gettysburg Address became an iconic endorsement of the principles of nationalism , republicanism , equal rights , liberty , and democracy . Lincoln initially concentrated on the military and political dimensions of the war . His primary goal was to reunite the nation . He suspended habeas corpus , leading to the controversial ex parte Merryman decision , and he averted potential British intervention in the war by defusing the Trent Affair in late 1861 . Lincoln closely supervised the war effort , especially the selection of top generals , including his most successful general , Ulysses S. Grant . He also made major decisions on Union war strategy , including a naval blockade that shut down the South 's normal trade , moves to take control of Kentucky and Tennessee , and using gunboats to gain control of the southern river system . Lincoln tried repeatedly to capture the Confederate capital at Richmond ; each time a general failed , Lincoln substituted another , until finally Grant succeeded . As the war progressed , his complex moves toward ending slavery included the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 ; Lincoln used the U.S. Army to protect escaped slaves , encouraged the border states to outlaw slavery , and pushed through Congress the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution , which permanently outlawed slavery . An exceptionally astute politician deeply involved with power issues in each state , Lincoln reached out to the War Democrats and managed his own re-election campaign in the 1864 presidential election . Anticipating the war 's conclusion , Lincoln pushed a moderate view of Reconstruction , seeking to reunite the nation speedily through a policy of generous reconciliation in the face of lingering and bitter divisiveness . On April 14 , 1865 , five days after the surrender of Confederate commanding general Robert E. Lee , Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth , a Confederate sympathizer . Lincoln has been consistently ranked both by scholars and the public as among the greatest U.S. presidents .
Osteoporosis is a disease where decreased bone strength increases the risk of a broken bone. It is the most common reason for a broken bone among people who are old.Bones that commonly break include the back bones, the bones of the forearm, and the hip. Until a broken bone occurs there are typically no symptoms.steoporosis is defined as a bone density of 2.5 standard deviations below that of a young adult.

This is a common misunderstanding. Catholics do not worship on the Sabbath, which according to Jewish law is the last day of the week (Saturday), when God rested from all the work he had done in creation (Gen.2:2-3). Catholics worship on the Lordâs Day, the first day of the week (Sunday, the eighth day); the day when God said Let there be light (Gen.he Catechism of the Catholic Church says: The Church celebrates the day of Christâs Resurrection on the âeighth day,â Sunday, which is rightly called the Lordâs Day (CCC 2191). The early Church did not move the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday.

Pulse In medicine, a pulse represents the tactile arterial palpation of the heartbeat by trained fingertips. The pulse may be palpated in any place that allows an artery to be compressed near the surface of the body, such as at the neck (carotid artery), on the inside of the elbow (brachial artery), at the wrist (radial artery), at the groin (femoral artery), behind the knee (popliteal artery), near the ankle joint (posterior tibial artery), and on foot (dorsalis pedis artery). Pulse (or the count of arterial pulse per minute) is equivalent to measuring the heart rate. The heart rate can also be measured by listening to the heart beat by auscultation, traditionally using a stethoscope and counting it for a minute. The radial pulse is commonly measured using three fingers. This has a reason: the finger closest to the heart is used to occlude the pulse pressure, the middle finger is used get a crude estimate of the blood pressure, and the finger most distal to the heart (usually the ring finger) is used to nullify the effect of the ulnar pulse as the two arteries are connected via the palmar arches (superficial and deep). The study of the pulse is known as sphygmology.
Nineteen Eighty-Four , often published as 1984 , is a dystopian novel published in 1949 by English author George Orwell . The novel is set in Airstrip One -LRB- formerly known as Great Britain -RRB- , a province of the superstate Oceania in a world of perpetual war , omnipresent government surveillance , and public manipulation . The superstate and its residents are dictated to by a political regime euphemistically named English Socialism , shortened to `` Ingsoc '' in Newspeak , the government 's invented language . The superstate is under the control of the privileged elite of the Inner Party , a party and government that persecutes individualism and independent thinking as `` thoughtcrime '' , which is enforced by the `` Thought Police '' . The tyranny is ostensibly overseen by Big Brother , the Party leader who enjoys an intense cult of personality , but who may not even exist . The Party `` seeks power entirely for its own sake . It is not interested in the good of others ; it is interested solely in power . '' The protagonist of the novel , Winston Smith , is a member of the Outer Party , who works for the Ministry of Truth -LRB- or Minitrue in Newspeak -RRB- , which is responsible for propaganda and historical revisionism . His job is to rewrite past newspaper articles , so that the historical record always supports the party line . The instructions that the workers receive portray the corrections as fixing misquotations and never as what they really are : forgeries and falsifications . A large part of the Ministry also actively destroys all documents that have not been edited and do not contain the revisions ; in this way , no proof exists that the government is lying . Smith is a diligent and skillful worker but secretly hates the Party and dreams of rebellion against Big Brother . The heroine of the novel , Julia , is based on Orwell 's second wife , Sonia Orwell . As literary political fiction and dystopian science-fiction , Nineteen Eighty-Four is a classic novel in content , plot and style . Many of its terms and concepts , such as Big Brother , doublethink , thoughtcrime , Newspeak , Room 101 , telescreen , 2 + 2 = 5 , and memory hole , have entered into common use since its publication in 1949 . Nineteen Eighty-Four popularised the adjective Orwellian , which describes official deception , secret surveillance , and manipulation of recorded history by a totalitarian or authoritarian state . In 2005 , the novel was chosen by Time magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to 2005 . It was awarded a place on both lists of Modern Library 100 Best Novels , reaching number 13 on the editor 's list , and 6 on the readers ' list .

Yet controlling the "Mandate of Heaven" was a daunting task. The vastness of China's territory meant that there were only enough banner troops to garrison key cities forming the backbone of a defense network that relied heavily on surrendered Ming soldiers. In addition, three surrendered Ming generals were singled out for their contributions to the establishment of the Qing dynasty, ennobled as feudal princes (藩王), and given governorships over vast territories in Southern China. The chief of these was Wu Sangui, who was given the provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou, while generals Shang Kexi and Geng Jingzhong were given Guangdong and Fujian provinces respectively.
A Singspiel (] ; plural: Singspiele; literally "sing-play") is a form of German-language music drama, now regarded as a genre of opera. It is characterized by spoken dialogue, which is alternated with ensembles, songs, ballads, and arias which were often strophic, or folk-like. Singspiel plots are generally comic or romantic in nature, and frequently include elements of magic, fantastical creatures, and comically exaggerated characterizations of good and evil.
Professional wrestling shows can be considered a form of theatre in the round, with the ring, ringside area, and entryway comprising a thrust stage. However, there is a much more limited concept of a fourth wall than in most theatric performances. The audience is recognized and acknowledged by the performers as spectators to the sporting event being portrayed, and are encouraged to interact as such. This leads to a high level of audience participation; in fact, their reactions can dictate how the performance unfolds. Often, individual matches will be part of a longer storyline conflict between "babyfaces" (often shortened to just "faces") and "heels". "Faces" (the "good guys") are those whose actions are intended to encourage the audience to cheer, while "heels" (the "bad guys") act to draw the spectators' ire.

Media anthropology (also known as anthropology of media or mass media) emphasizes ethnographic studies as a means of understanding producers, audiences, and other cultural and social aspects of mass media. The types of ethnographic contexts explored range from contexts of media production (e.g., ethnographies of newsrooms in newspapers, journalists in the field, film production) to contexts of media reception, following audiences in their everyday responses to media. Other types include cyber anthropology, a relatively new area of internet research, as well as ethnographies of other areas of research which happen to involve media, such as development work, social movements, or health education. This is in addition to many classic ethnographic contexts, where media such as radio, the press, new media and television have started to make their presences felt since the early 1990s.

Cornish Language, Place names in Cornwall and Cornish dialect words and phrases including learning resources, books and Cds Cornwall > Cornish Language and Place Names Cornish Language and Place Names in Cornwall "By Tre, Pol and Pen you will know the Cornishmen" Cornwall's place names are very different from those in other places around the UK, though if you have visited Wales you will notice certain similarities with place names there. Cornwall is a Celtic land and its language is one of the Brythonic group of languages to which Welsh and Breton also belong. The language is also more distantly related to Scots Gaelic, Irish Gaelic and Manx. Up until the mid sixteenth century Cornish was the main language spoken across Cornwall, but pressure from English caused Cornish to decline and retreat to the far west of the Duchy. While the Cornish language is believed in some traditions to have originally stopped being spoken in the late 1700s, when Dolly Pentreath of Mousehole died, there are other suggestions made by William Bodinar in the same time period that there were still a number of Cornish speakers in Mousehole after the death of Dolly Pentreath including himself. By the beginning of the nineteenth century Cornish had all but died out as a community language, but in 1904 Henry Jenner (1848 - 1934), a Celtic scholar and cultural activist, published a Handbook of the Cornish Language which kick started the revival of Cornish as a living, spoken language. The Cornish Language has undergone a number of revivals since that time. Henry Jenner is buried at St Uny Church, Lelant, near St Ives. Another important figure in the Cornish Language movement was Robert Morton Nance (1873-1959), a student of Jenner. He wrote many books and leaflets in Cornish including a Cornish - English Dictionary. Robert Morton Nance or Mordon, using his Bardic name, was a co-founder of the Gorseth Kernow. These two important cultural figures jointly founded the first Old Cornwall Society at St Ives. Since then the number of people learning and using the language has escalated, with Cornish receiving official recognition as a minority language in 2002 under the Council of Europe’s Charter for Regional or Minority Languages. Today Cornish is one of the fastest growing languages in the world, and this is set to accelerate with more schools than ever choosing to teach Cornish. In 2010 a bilingual pre-school opened in Pool, and there are many other pre-schools and playgroups, as well as an increasing number of primary and secondary schools, that now offer children the opportunity to learn Cornish. An example of written Cornish language English Translation of above Cornish example Businesses are also embracing the use of Cornish. Local enterprises such as Polgoon Vineyard have made a point of choosing Cornish branding as a mark of local origin and several of their products are named in Cornish. Meanwhile national companies such as JD Wetherspoon have a policy of putting up bilingual signage in their Cornish pubs, as well as giving them names in Cornish such as the “Try Dowr” (Three Rivers) in Truro and “Chapel an Gansblydhen” (Centenary Chapel) in Bodmin. In 2009 Cornwall Council adopted a policy on the use of Cornish which encourages all departments of the Council to consider the use of Cornish. The most visible outcome of this policy is the bilingual street signage which is now appearing across Cornwall, and which costs the Council not a penny more than it would have done previously as the bilingual signs are only put up where new or replacement signs are needed. Cornish is all around us in the community too, with Scouts and Guides learning their motto and promise in Cornish, gig rowers naming their gigs in Cornish and films being made in Cornish to be shown at Cornwall Film Festival. For further information about Cornish culture, including Gorsedh Kernow and the Federation of Old Cornwall Societies, see our Culture and Tradition page. By understanding just a few of the most often used Cornish words you can get a better idea of where you are and en

It is contrasted with piece wages, where each job, hour or other unit is paid separately, rather than on a periodic basis. From the point of view of running a business, salary can also be viewed as the cost of acquiring and retaining human resources for running operations, and is then termed personnel expense or salary expense. In accounting, salaries are recorded in payroll accounts. Salary is a fixed amount of money or compensation paid to an employee by an employer in return for work performed. Salary is commonly paid in fixed intervals, for example, monthly payments of one-twelfth of the annual salary. Salary is typically determined by comparing market pay rates for people performing similar work in similar industries in the same region. Salary is also determined by leveling the pay rates and salary ranges established by an individual employer. Salary is also affected by the number of people available to perform the specific job in the employer's employment locale. [1] Salaries are fixed cost in nature. Contents [ hide ]1 History1.1 First paid salary1.2 Salarium1.3 Roman empire and medieval and pre-industrial Europe1.4 Commercial Revolution1.5 Share in earnings1.6 Second Industrial Revolution1.7 20th century1.8 Salary and other forms of payment today2 By country2.1 Botswana2.2 Denmark2.3 European Union2.4 India2.5 Italy2.6 Japan2.7 South Africa2.8 The Netherlands2.9 United States2.10 Zimbabwe3 Negotiation of salary3.1 Effects of perspective3.2 Gender differences3.3 Role of weight4 See also5 References History [ edit]First paid salary [ edit]While there is no first pay stub for the first work-for-pay exchange, the first salaried work would have required a society advanced enough to have a barter system which allowed for the even exchange of goods or services between tradesmen. More significantly, it presupposes the existence of organized employers—perhaps a government or a religious body—that would facilitate work-for-hire exchanges on a regular enough basis to constitute salaried work. From this, most infer that the first salary would have been paid in a village or city during the Neolithic Revolution, sometime between 10,000 BC and 6000 BC. [2]A cuneiform inscribed clay tablet dated about 3100 BC provides a record of the daily beer rations for workers in Mesopotamia. The beer is represented by an upright jar with a pointed base. The symbol for rations is a human head eating from a bowl. Round and semicircular impressions represent the measurements. [3]By the time of the Hebrew Book of Ezra (550 to 450 BC), salt from a person was synonymous with drawing sustenance, taking pay, or being in that person's service. At that time, salt production was strictly controlled by the monarchy or ruling elite. Depending on the translation of Ezra 4:14, the servants of King Artaxerxes I of Persia explain their loyalty variously as "because we are salted with the salt of the palace" or "because we have maintenance from the king" or "because we are responsible to the king". [2]Salarium [ edit]The Latin word salarium originally salt money (Lat. sal, salt), i.e. the sum paid to soldiers for salt. [4] [5] ( The dictionary definition of salarium at Wiktionary) or the price of having soldiers conquer salt supplies and guard the Salt Roads ( Via Salaria) that led to Rome. [6] [7] But there is no evidence for this assertion at all. [8] Some people even claim that the word soldier itself comes from the Latin sal dare (to give salt), [9] but mainstream sources disagree, noting that the word soldier more likely derives from the gold solidus introduced by Diocletian in 301 AD. [10]Roman empire and medieval and pre-industrial Europe [ edit]Regardless of the exact connection, the salarium paid to Roman soldiers has defined a form of work-for-hire ever since in the Western world, and gave rise to such expressions as "being worth one's salt". [2]Within the Roman Empire or (later) medieval and pre-industrial Europe and its mercantile colonies, salaried employment appears to have been relatively rare and mostly limited to servants and higher status roles, especially in government service. Such roles were largely remunerated by the provision of lodging, food, and livery clothes (i.e., "food, clothing, and shelter" in modern idiom). Many courtiers, such as valets de chambre, in late medieval courts were paid annual amounts, sometimes supplemented by large if unpredictable extra payments. At the other end of the social scale, those in many forms of employment either received no pay, as with slavery (although many slaves were paid some money at least), serfdom, and indentured servitude, or received only a fraction of what was produced, as with sharecropping. Other common alternative models of work included self- or co-operative employment, as with masters in artisan guilds, who often had salaried assistants, or corporate work and ownership, as with medieval universities and monasteries. [2]Commercial Revolution [ edit]Even many of the jobs initially created by the Commercial Revolution in the years from 1520 to 1650 and later during Industrialisation in the 18th and 19th centuries would not have been salaried, but, to the extent they were paid as employees, probably paid an hourly or daily wage or paid per unit produced (also called piece work ). [2]Share in earnings [ edit]In corporations of this time, such as the several East India Companies, many managers would have been remunerated as owner- shareholders. Such a remuneration scheme is still common today in accounting, investment, and law firmpartnerships where the leading professionals are equity partners, and do not technically receive a salary, but rather make a periodic "draw" against their share of annual earnings. [2]Second Industrial Revolution [ edit]From 1870 to 1930, the Second Industrial Revolution gave rise to the modern business corporation powered by railroads, electricity and the telegraph and telephone. This era saw the widespread emergence of a class of salaried executives and administrators who served the new, large- scale enterprises being created. New managerial jobs lent themselves to salaried employment, in part because the effort and output of " office work" were hard to measure hourly or piecewise, and in part because they did not necessarily draw remuneration from share ownership. [2]As Japan rapidly industrialized in the 20th century, the idea of office work was novel enough that a new Japanese word ( salaryman) was coined to describe those who performed it, as well as referencing their remuneration. [2]20th century [ edit]In the 20th century, the rise of the service economy made salaried employment even more common in developed countries, where the relative share of industrial production jobs declined, and the share of executive, administrative, computer, marketing, and creative jobs—all of which tended to be salaried—increased. [2]Salary and other forms of payment today [ edit]Today, the concept of a salary continues to evolve as part of a system of the total compensation that employers offer to employees. Salary (also now known as fixed pay) is coming to be seen as part of a "total rewards" system which includes bonuses, incentive pay, commissions, benefits and perquisites (or perks), and various other tools which help employers link rewards to an employee's measured performance. [2]Compensation has evolved considerably. Consider the change from the days of and before the industrial evolution, when a job was held for a lifetime, to the fact that, from 1978 to 2008, individuals who aged from 18 to 44, held an average number of 11 jobs. [11] Compensation has evolved gradually moving away from fixed short-term immediate compensation towards fixed + variable outcomes-based compensation. [ citation needed] An increase in knowledge-based work has also led to pursuit of partner (as opposed to employee) like engagement. By country [ edit]Botswana [ edit]In Botswana, salaries are almost entirely paid on a monthly basis with pay dates falling on different dates of the second half of the month. Pay day usually ranges from the 15th of the month to the last day. The date of disbursement of the salary is usually determined by the company and in some cases in conjunction with the recognized Workers Union. The Botswana Employment Act Cap 47:01 Chapter VII regulates the aspect of protection of wages in the contracts of employment. The minimum and maximum wage payment period with the exception of casual employees should not be less than one week or more than a month, and where not expressly stipulated a month is the default wage period per section 75 of the Act payable before the third working day after the wage period. The wages are to be paid during working hours at the place of employment, or in any other way, such as through a bank account with the consent of the employee. Salaries should be made in legal tender, however, part payment in kind is not prohibited provided it is appropriate for the personal use and benefit of employee and his family, and the value attributable to such payment in kind is fair and reasonable. The payment in kind should not exceed forty per cent of the total amount paid out to the employee. The minimum wage is set, adjusted and can even be abolished by the Minister on the advice of the Minimum Wages Advisory Board for specified trade categories. The stipulated categories include building, construction, hotel, catering, wholesale, watchmen, the domestic service sector, the agricultural sector etc. The current minimum wages set for these sectors are set out in the Subsidiary legislation in the Act. Women on maternity leave are entitled to 25% of their salaries as stipulated by the Employment Act but the majority of the companies pay out at about 50% for the period. [12]Denmark [ edit]By working for the Danish Government, it has been agreed under political agreements, that the salary is dependent on the seniority, education, and of a qualification allowance. European Union [ edit]According to European law, the movement of capital, services and (human) resources is unlimited between member states. Salary determination, such as minimum wage, is still the prerogative of each member state. Other social benefits, associated with salaries are also determined on member-state level. [13]India [ edit]In India, salaries are generally paid on the last working day of the month (Government, Public sector departments, Multi-national organisations as well as majority of other private sector companies). According to the Payment of Wages Act, if a company has less than 1,000 Employees, salary is paid by the Company on 7th of every month. If a company has more than 1,000 Employees, salary is paid by the 10th of every month. [14]Minimum wages in India are governed by the Minimum Wages Act, 1948. [15] Employees in India are notified of their salary being increased through a hard copy letter given to them. [16]Italy [ edit]In Italy, the Constitution guarantees a minimum wage, as stated in Article 36, Paragraph 1 [17]"Workers have the right to a remuneration commensurate to the quantity and quality of their work and in any case such as to ensure them and their families a free and dignified existence. "This constitutional guarantee is implemented not through a specific legislation, but rather through collective bargaining which sets minimum wage standards in a sector by sector basis. Collective bargaining is protected by trade unions, which have constitutional rights such as legal personality. The Constitution also guarantees equal pay for women, as stated in Article 37, Paragraph 1 [17]"Working women are entitled to equal rights and, for comparable jobs, equal pay as men. "Japan [ edit]Further information: Salaryman This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (October 2008)In Japan, owners would notify employees of salary increases through "jirei". The concept still exists and has been replaced with an electronic form, or E-mail in larger companies. [18] The position and world of "salarymen" is open to only one third of Japanese men. From school age these young potentials are groomed and pre-selected to one day join a company as a "salaryman". The selection process is rigorous and thereafter the process initiation speaks of total dedication to the company. [19]South Africa [ edit]Minimum wages are used widely in developing countries to protect vulnerable workers, reduce wage inequality, and lift the working poor out of poverty. The political popularity of minimum wages stems in part from the fact that the policy offers a means for redistributing income without having to increase government spending or establish formal transfer mechanisms. [20] The challenge to policymakers is to find that wage level that is considered fair given workers' needs and the cost of living, but does not harm employment or a country's global competitiveness. [21]South African median employee earning is R2800 a month (USD 190.35) and the average earning is around R8500. These figures are found in SA statistics. Indeed, they reflect the huge gap in the South African society with a large proportion of the population under poverty line that does not have the same opportunities for employment. [22]Median monthly earnings of white (R9500) and Indian/Asian (R6000) population were substantially higher than the median monthly earnings of their coloured (R2652) and black African (R2167) counterparts. Black Africans earned 22,% of what the white population earned; 36,1% of what Indians/Asians earned; and 81,7% of what the coloured population earned. In the bottom 5%, black Africans earned R500 or less per month while the white population earned R2 000 or less, while in the top 5% they earned R12 567 or more compared to the white population who earned R34000 or more per month. [23]The Netherlands [ edit]In the Netherlands the salary which occurs most frequently is referred to as Jan Modaal. The term "modaal" is derived from the statistical term Modus. If the government's macro economic policy negatively affects this "Modaal" income or salary-group often the policy is adjusted in order to protect this group of income earners. [24] The Dutch word "soldij" can be directly linked to the word "soldaat" or soldier, which finds its origin in the word for the gold coin solidus, with which soldiers were paid during the Roman Empire. The Netherlands is in the top 5 of the highest salary-paying countries in the EU. The focus has been on the salary levels and accompanying bonuses whereas secondary benefits, though present, has been downplayed yet that is changing. The Netherlands claims a 36th position when it comes to secondary benefits when compared to other countries in Europe. [25]The minimum wage is determined through collective labor negotiations (CAOs). The minimum wage is age dependent; the legal minimum wage for a 16-year-old is lower than, for instance, a 23-year-old (full minimum wage). Adjustments to the minimum wage are made twice a year; on January 1 and on July 1. The minimum wage for a 21-year-old on January 1, 2013 is 1,065.30 Euro netto per month and on July 1, 2013 this minimum wage is 1,071.40 Euro netto per month. [26] For a 23 year old on 1 January 2014 is 1485,60 Euro gross salary / month plus 8% holiday subsidy so 1604,45 Euro gross salary / month United States [ edit]Further information: Income in the United States In the United States, the distinction between periodic salaries (which are normally paid regardless of hours worked) and hourly wages (meeting a minimum wage test and providing for overtime) was first codified by the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. At that time, five categories were identified as being "exempt" from minimum wage and overtime protections, and therefore salariable. In 1991, some computer workers were added as a sixth category but effective August 23, 2004 the categories were revised and reduced back down to five (executive, administrative, professional, computer, and outside sales employees). In June 2015 the Department of Labor proposed raising "the salary threshold from $455 a week (the equivalent of $23,660 a year) to about $970 a week ($50,440 a year) in 2016" [27] On May 18, 2016 the Final rule updating the overtime regulations was announced. Effective December 1, 2016 it says:"The Final Rule sets the standard salary level at the 40th percentile of weekly earnings of full-time salaried workers in the lowest-wage Census Region, currently the South ($913 per week, equivalent to $47,476 per year for a full-year worker)." [28]"The Final Rule sets the HCE total annual compensation level equal to the 90th percentile of earnings of full-time salaried workers nationally ($134,004 annually). To be exempt as an HCE, an employee must also receive at least the new standard salary amount of $913 per week on a salary or fee basis and pass a minimal duties test." [28]"Although the FLSA ensures minimum wage and overtime pay protections for most employees covered by the Act, some workers, including bona fide EAP employees, are exempt from those protections. Since 1940, the Department’s regulations have generally required each of three tests to be met for the FLSA’s EAP exemption to apply:the employee must be paid a predetermined and fixed salary that is not subject to reduction because of variations in the quality or quantity of work performed (“salary basis test”);the amount of salary paid must meet a minimum specified amount (“salary level test”); andthe employee’s job duties must primarily involve executive, administrative, or professional duties as defined by the regulations (“duties test”). " [28]"The Final Rule includes a mechanism to automatically update the standard salary level requirement every three years to ensure that it remains a meaningful test for distinguishing between overtime-protected white collar workers and bona fide EAP workers who may not be entitled to overtime pay and to provide predictability and more graduated salary changes for employers. Specifically, the standard salary level will be updated to maintain a threshold equal to the 40th percentile of weekly earnings of full-time salaried workers in the lowest-wage Census Region." [28]"For the first time, employers will be able to use nondiscretionary bonuses and incentive payments (including commissions) to satisfy up to 10 percent of the standard salary level. Such payments may include, for example, nondiscretionary incentive bonuses tied to productivity and profitability." [28]A general rule for comparing periodic salaries to hourly wages is based on a standard 40-hour work week with 50 weeks per year (minus two weeks for vacation). (Example: $40,000/year periodic salary divided by 50 weeks equals $800/week. Divide $800/week by 40 standard hours equals $20/hour). Zimbabwe [ edit]Zimbabwe operates on a two tier system being wages and salaries. Wages are managed by the National Employment Council (NEC). Each sector has its own NEC; i.e. agriculture, communications, mining, catering, educational institutions, etc. On the council are representatives from the unions and the employers. The public sector is under the Public Service Commission and wages and salaries are negotiated there. Wages are negotiated annually or biennially for minimum wages, basic working conditions and remunerations. If there is a stalemate it goes for arbitration with the Ministry of labour. The ruling will become binding on all companies in that industry. Industries often then use their associations to negotiate and air their views. For example, the mining industry nominates an employee within the chamber of mines to attend all meetings and subcommittee with industry players is a forum for discussions. Salaries are negotiated by the respective employees. However, NEC obviously affects the relativity and almost acts as a barometer for salaried staff. Salaries and wages in Zimbabwe are normally paid monthly. Most companies' pay around the 20th does allow various statutory payments and processing for the month end. Government employees are also staggered to ease the cash flow though teachers are paid around mid-month being 16th. Agricultural workers are normally paid on the very last day of the month as they are contract employees. Zimbabwe is a highly banked society with most salaries being banked. All government employees are paid through the bank. Since "dollarisation" (movement from the Zimbabwean dollar to USD) Zimbabwe has been moving toward a more informal sector and these are paid in 'brown envelopes'. PAYE (Pay As You Earn) is a significant contributor to tax being 45%. [29] Given the high unemployment rate the tax is quite heavy. This of course captures those that pay and keep records properly. The average salary is probably $250. This is skewed downwards by the large number of government employees whose average salary is around there. At the top end salaries are quite competitive and this is to be able to attract the right skills though the cost of living is high so it balances this out. A top-earning Zimbabwean spends a lot more money on necessities than say a South African top earner. This is more evident when a comparison with the United States or England is done. The need to have a generator, borehole or buy water or take care of the extended family since there is no welfare given the government's financial position. In the hyperinflation days salaries was the cheapest factor of production given that it was paid so irregularly though it went to twice monthly. As workers could not withdraw their money, remuneration was often in the following forms:• Fuel coupons were most popular and individuals were paid in liters of fuel • The product that the company is selling; e.g. pork/meat for the abattoirs • Foreign currency payment was illegal and one had to seek special dispensation or had to show that their revenue/funding was received in foreign currency like NGOs or exporters • Shares for the listed companies on the stock market (not in the traditional option scheme but just getting shares)Prices were price controlled. By remunerating in the product it basically allowed the employees to side sell for real value. Zimbabwe traditionally had a competitive advantage in its cost of labor. With "dollarisation" and higher cost of living this is slowly being eroded. For example, an average farm employee probably earned the equivalent of $20 but could buy a basket of goods currently worth $500. Now, the average farm worker earns $80 and that basket of goods is, as mentioned, $500, the basket being soap, meal, school fees, protein foods, etc. Negotiation of salary [ edit]Prior to the acceptance of an employment offer, the prospective employee usually has the opportunity to negotiate the terms of the offer. This primarily focuses on salary, but extends to benefits, work arrangements, and other amenities as well. Negotiating salary can potentially lead the prospective employee to a higher salary. In fact, a 2009 study of employees indicated that those who negotiated salary saw an average increase of $4,913 from their original salary offer. [30] In addition, the employer is able to feel more confident that they have hired an employee with strong interpersonal skills and the ability to deal with conflict. Negotiating salary will thus likely yield an overall positive outcome for both sides of the bargaining table. Perhaps the most important aspect of salary negotiation is the level of preparation put in by the prospective employee. Background research on comparable salaries will help the prospective employee understand the appropriate range for that position. Assessment of alternative offers that the prospective employee has already received can help in the negotiation process. Research on the actual company itself will help identify where concessions can be made by the company and what may potentially be considered off-limits. These items, and more, can be organized into a negotiations planning document that can be used in the evaluation of the offers received from the employer. Effects of perspective [ edit]The same 2009 study highlighted the personality differences and negotiation mind-sets that contributed to successful outcomes. Overall, individuals who are risk-averse (e.g., worried about appearing ungrateful for the job offer) tended to avoid salary negotiations or use very weak approaches to the negotiation process. On the contrary, those who were more risk-tolerant engaged in negotiations more frequently and demonstrated superior outcomes. Individuals who approached the negotiation as a distributive problem (i.e. viewing a higher salary as a win for him/her and a loss to the employer) ended up with an increased salary, but lower rate of satisfaction upon completion. Those who approached the negotiation as an integrative problem (i.e. viewing the negotiation process an opportunity to expand the realm of possibilities and help both parties achieve a “win” outcome) were able to both secure an increased salary and an outcome they were truly satisfied with. [30]Gender differences [ edit]Salary disparities between men and women may partially be explained by differences in negotiation tactics used by men and women. Although men and women are equally likely to initiate in a salary negotiation with employers, men will achieve higher outcomes than women by about 2% of starting salary [31] Studies have indicated that men tend to use active negotiation tactics of directly asking for a higher salary, while women tend to use more of an indirect approach by emphasizing self-promotion tactics (e.g. explaining the motivation to be a good employee). [32] Other research indicates that early-childhood play patterns may influence the way men and women negotiate. Men and women tend to view salary differently in terms of relative importance. Overall level of confidence in a negotiation may also be a determinant of why men tend to achieve higher outcomes in salary negotiations. [33] Finally, the awareness of this stereotype alone may directly cause women to achieve lower outcomes as one study indicates. [34] Regardless of the cause, the outcome yields a disparity between men and women that contributes to the overall wage gap observed in many nations. The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 239 provides for the right to fair labour practices in terms of article 23. article 9 of the Constitution makes provision for equality in the Bill of Rights, which an employee may raise in the event of an equal pay dispute. In terms of article 9 (1) “everyone is equal before the law and has the right to equal protection and benefit of the law'” Furthermore, “the state may not unfairly discriminate directly or indirectly against anyone on one or more grounds, including race, gender, sex, pregnancy, marital status, ethnic or social origin, colour, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, language, and birth.” [35] South African employees who were in paid employment had median monthly earnings of R2 800. The median monthly earnings for men (R3 033) were higher than that for women (R2 340) - women in paid employment earned 77,1% of what men did. [23]Role of weight [ edit]Research done in 2011 showed that the “weight double standard” may be more complex than what past research has suggested. This is not only relevant to women, but also to men. The smallest income gap differences occur at thin weights (where men are penalized and women are rewarded) and the opposite happens at heavier weights, where the women are affected more negatively.

A Rate Contract or a Rate Agreement (RC in short) is a procurement cost reduction strategy aimed at standardizing procurement prices for commonly procured, homogenous and price varying inputs.Contents.ost the setup of a rate contract, a definitive monitoring mechanism must be set up. Such a monitoring mechanism needs to be done centrally by the organization and involves-monitoring of offtake by supplier, monitoring of non-RC offtake and monitoring of supplies and periodic quality audits.
In information technology, a boilerplate is a unit of writing that can be reused over and over without change. By extension, the idea is sometimes applied to reusable programming as in boilerplate code. The term derives from steel manufacturing, where boilerplate is steel rolled into large plates for use in steam boilers.
Atlanta Falcons The Falcons moved into their new home, the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, this season. Their first game ever played at the new stadium was a preseason loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The first regular season game at the new stadium was a rematch of the 2016–17 NFC Championship, with Atlanta defeating Green Bay 34–23. Their first loss of the season was a 23–17 home defeat to the Buffalo Bills in week 4.[32] The team returned to the playoffs with a 10-6 record (albeit with a third-place finish in the NFC South). The Falcons defeated the Los Angeles Rams 26-13 in the Wild Card round, but their 2017 season came to an end a week later in the Divisional Playoff round at the hands of the eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles 15-10.
Aristotle however suggested that swallows and other birds hibernated. This belief persisted as late as 1878, when Elliott Coues listed the titles of no less than 182 papers dealing with the hibernation of swallows. Even the "highly observant" Gilbert White, in his posthumously published 1789 The Natural History of Selborne, quoted a man's story about swallows being found in a chalk cliff collapse "while he was a schoolboy at Brighthelmstone", though the man denied being an eyewitness. However, he also writes that "as to swallows being found in a torpid state during the winter in the Isle of Wight or any part of this country, I never heard any such account worth attending to", and that if early swallows "happen to find frost and snow they immediately withdraw for a time—a circumstance this much more in favour of hiding than migration", since he doubts they would "return for a week or two to warmer latitudes".
The way that moving radar works is that it bounces signals off of your car (which are shifted one way or another depending on whether you are moving towards or away from the radar gun) and signals bounced off of stationary background objects (such as the road, that also get shifted in the same way based on how the police car is moving). At this point it essentially can tell what speed the police car is moving at (because that's how fast the background appears to be moving), how fast the target is moving compared to the police car, and what directions each of those things is moving in, and it all just boils down to math at that point to solve for the vehicle's actual speed. Think of it like the background measurement says that the police car is moving at +50 MPH (because the background appears to be moving at -50MPH so x-1 to flip who is standing still). The target car is read to measure at -150MPH compared to the police car. 50+(-150)=100MPH down, probably over the speed limit.
30 Outstanding Castor Oil Uses and Benefits 30 Outstanding Castor Oil Uses and Benefits By Joan Clark For centuries, health care providers and folk healers have been using castor oil because of the many benefits it provides. Many think that the ancient Egyptians were the first to discover the many castor oil uses and castor oil benefits. In fact, many believe that Cleopatra used the pale yellow liquid to brighten the whites of her eyes. Castor oil is simple to use and isn’t harsh on your skin, making it an excellent remedy for many different ailments. Castor oil is considered a vegetable oil that is pale yellow in color and is produced by crushing the seeds of the castor oil plant. Many of the benefits gained by using castor oil are a result of its chemical composition. Castor oil is a particular type of triglyceride fatty acid, with nearly 90 percent of its fatty acid substance is ricinoleic acid, which is an unsaturated omega-9 fatty acid. Page Contents Castor Oil Uses Castor Oil Benefits Regular Castor Oil vs. Jamaican Black Castor Oil How is Castor Oil Made? What are the Side Effects of Castor Oil? Additional Castor Oil Recipes How Much Castor Oil is Safe? Castor Oil Uses Castor oil has traditionally been used as a remedy for treating various skin conditions and infections, relieving constipation, and increasing the health of hair. However, recent studies have shown that castor oil can be used to support the immune system, and an anti-inflammatory agent, antimicrobial agent, and lymphatic stimulant. You can use castor oil in a couple of different ways. Apply it directly to the skin, use it through a castor oil pack, or mix it with other oils to use it as a topical remedy. Orally, add it to milk or lukewarm water or taken in the form of a supplement. Key Uses for Castor Oil Skin Conditions Infections Constipation Relief Immune System Support Anti-Inflammatory Agent Antimicrobial Agent Lymphatic Stimulant Topical Uses for Castor Oil Arthritis Treatment To Strengthen and Grow Hair Acne Treatment Skin Moisturizer Deep Cleanser To Improve Immunity Function To Eliminate Fine Lines and Wrinkles Reduce Swelling and Inflammation Support Lymphatic System Increase Circulation Heal Wounds and Abrasions Relieve Menstrual Cramps Oral Uses for Castor Oil Relieve Constipation Clean Out Intestines Before Surgery Induction of Labor1. Natural Arthritis Remedy Castor oil’s anti-inflammatory properties make it an excellent massage oil for arthritic joints, sore muscles, and inflammation of your nerves. The ricinoleic acid that castor oil contains possess the ability to boost anti-inflammatory properties within the body and is considered a safe remedy for arthritis pain. Here are the various ways you can use castor oil to treat arthritis pain. Directions Take a piece of unbleached cotton flannel fabric and fold it to create three to four layers. Soak it in castor oil and place it over the affected joints. Wrap the cloth with saran wrap and put a heating pad or hot water bottle over the area. Leave it for at least 45 minutes. Do this once a day to help reduce pain and inflammation in your joints. The saran wrap will prevent the heating pad or water bottle from getting oily. Reuse the pads by placing them in a Ziploc bag in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use them again. Take it orally by adding a tablespoon of castor oil to your favorite beverage. Massage warm castor oil into the affected joints. To promote proper absorption, massage into the skin before you go to bed and leave it on overnight. To avoid scalding the skin, make sure the castor oil is not too hot when applying to the affected area. When treating severe arthritis pain, add a pinch of ginger powder to a boiling glass of water. Once the water has cooled, add two tablespoons of castor oil. Be sure to mix the concoction well before drinking. This remedy works best when you drink it when you first wake up or right before you go to bed. If you dislike the taste of castor oil, take a castor oil supplement or pill. However, this won’t be as useful as pure castor oil.2. Getting Rid of Stretch Marks Stretch marks are often caused by pregnancy and rapid weight gain, but can also be a result of aging, hormonal imbalance, sudden weight loss, and swelling. Castor oil is known as one of the best treatments for a variety of skin conditions. Its rich contents and various fatty acids make it an excellent moisturizer and effective treatment for getting rid of unsightly stretch marks. Using your fingers, massage enough castor oil over the stretch marks to cover the entire affected area. For added moisture, mix two tablespoons of coconut or almond oil with one tablespoon of castor oil. Avoid applying the treatment to the broken skin. Use a thin cotton cloth to cover the area. Leave the cloth on the area for about 15-20 minutes to help ensure the oil penetrates deeply. Covering the area with a heating pad or hot water bottle will speed up the results. Repeat this process on a regular basis to see a significant reduction in the appearance of your stretch marks.3. Castor Oil For Treating Acne The common skin condition, acne, is a result of impurities accumulating in your pores, causing the skin to become irritated and inflamed. Many of the acne remedies on the market today contain benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, which tend to dry out the skin. Castor oil, similar to using neem oil, is a natural resource that will draw out dirt, dead skin cells, excess oils, and bacteria without drying out your skin. Directions Place a bowl of boiling water on a stable surface and grab a towel. Holding the towel over your head, lean over the bowl of water. Doing this opens up your pores, which allows the castor oil to penetrate your skin deeply. Keep your face over the bowl for several minutes. Take a washcloth and moisten it with warm water, and apply a small, dime-sized amount of castor oil to the cloth. Gently rub the affected area with the washcloth. Use small circular motions when applying the castor oil to the area. Leave the castor oil on your skin overnight. When you wake up, remove the castor oil using a damp towel to wipe away the oil. Using cold water, splash your face several times. Cold water will shrink your pores, while warm water will open up your pores. Pat your skin dry and use a facial cleanser to clean away the remaining castor oil. For the best results, repeat these steps on a daily basis for between 10 and 14 days. You can use castor oil to prevent acne by following this process a couple of times a week.4. Deep Facial Cleanser Along with treating acne, you can use castor oil as a deep facial cleanser. Unlike the harsh chemicals in over-the-counter and prescription facial cleansers that dry out your skin, using castor oil as a deep cleanser will get rid of pimples fast, deep-clean your skin of dirt, bacteria, dead skin cells, and excess oils while keeping your skin soft, supple and flawless. Directions Using a generous amount of the oil blend in the palm of your hand, rub them together to warm up the oil. Using slow, firm motions across your skin, massage the oil into your face, paying particular attention to any areas that may be a problem. When your pores are thoroughly saturated, take a clean washcloth and soak it in hot water. Place the washcloth over your face. Leave it on until it has become cool to the touch. Gently wipe your face with the washcloth, and then rinse it in hot, running water. Repeat these steps several times to thoroughly clean your face. Be sure to not scrub your face hard during the final step of the process.5. Eliminating Fine Lines and Wrinkles Castor oil is great for reducing fine lines and wrinkles because it penetrates deep into your skin, which stimulates the production of elastin and collagen. These two components in the skin are responsible for its elasticity and tautness. Castor oil’s emollient properties allow the skin to quickly absorb it, keeping your face hydrated and plump, which is also important in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. To ensure you get the most out of the castor oil treatment follow these steps. Directions Clean your face with your regular facial cleanser and cold water. Using a towel, pat your skin dry. Remove any traces of the cleaner with a cotton ball soaked in toner. If you don’t have toner, you can use rose water or witch hazel. Allow the toner to dry, then pour a small amount of castor oil into the palm of your hand, rubbing hands together to warm up the oil. Gently massage the oil into your face using small, circular motions. Repeat the process every day. For maximum benefits, apply the oil to your face at night, before going to bed.6. Castor Oil For Hair Growths Castor oil, and more specifically, Jamaican Black Castor oil, has become a popular treatment for growing healthier, thicker hair. When regularly used on your roots, it can increase hair growth, reduce hair damage from products and styling, hydrate hair, make hair shinier and fuller, prevent dry scalp, and improve the overall health of your hair. When you apply it to the ends of your hair, the castor oil can help reduce frizz and repair split ends. Follow the steps below to help strengthen and grow your hair. Directions Apply castor oil to your scalp and roots using your fingertips. Make sure to distribute it on your scalp evenly. Try to avoid getting the oil into the strands of your hair. Due to its thickness, it can be difficult to remove. Cover your hair with a plastic shower cap and wrap your head with a towel. Allow the oil to remain on your hair for at least fifteen minutes. For best results, leave in overnight. To remove the castor oil, wash your hair thoroughly with shampoo. For the best results, repeat the process every week for 6 – 8 weeks.7. Relieving Constipation Castor oil is a popular way to relieve constipation. The various components in the natural constipation remedy act as a powerful laxative, stimulating both the small and large intestines and purging the colon walls, allowing impacted fecal matter to move through the colon. The fatty acids in the castor oil also work to prevent liquid from being absorbed by the intestinal tract, helping the bowel to retain its moisture, which allows it to pass through the colon easier. ( ..)Follow the steps below to use castor oil to relieve constipation. Castor Oil Constipation Relief Recipe Castor Oil (30 to 60 Grams)Lukewarm Milk (or Water)A Glass Ginger (Optional)Directions Add between 30 and 60 grams of castor oil to a glass of lukewarm milk. Substitute a glass of lukewarm water if you don’t like milk. Drink the entire glass. Add some ginger to the concoction if you find the smell too strong. In about an hour, you will begin to feel the effects of the castor oil.8. Improving Immune Function Using castor oil regularly is believed to improve various immune system functions, including lymphatic drainage, thymus gland health, and blood flow. The lymphocytes, which is a type of white blood cell found in the body’s immune system, attack perceived threats to the body and outside invaders like bacteria and toxins. The use of castor oil helps the body produce the proper levels of lymphocytes, which are stored and released into the lymphatic tissue from the lymph nodes, thymus gland, and tissue from the small intestine. Apply castor oil packs to your abdominal area to increase the body’s absorption of the oil.9. Treating Ringworm A relatively common skin condition, ringworm is caused by a fungus and grows into a ring-shaped, red rash. Studies show that nearly 20 percent of the population has suffered from ringworm at least once in their life. While it can be a pain to deal with, castor oil is an excellent treatment for ringworm. The undecylenic acid found in the castor oil acts as an antifungal agent that kills the infection.10. Minimize Appearance of Scars Castor oil is great for reducing and preventing the appearance of scars. The many fatty acids found in the oil help stimulate the lymphatic system in the body, which is essential for preventing scars. While it can’t eliminate scars that you already have, it can reduce their appearance.11. Heal Dry, Cracked Heels Castor oil’s miraculous ability to hydrate the skin makes it a perfect remedy for treating cracked heels. It is rich in vitamins, and essential nutrients help to hydrate dry, cracked skin. Simply rub castor oil on your feet, put on a pair of socks, and leave on overnight. You’ll notice a dramatic difference.12. Induce Labor Castor oil helps induce labor. When taken orally, castor oil works to stimulate the bowels. Castor oil tends to irritate the uterus, which causes contractions to begin. ( ..)13. Relieve Sunburn With the same cooling sensation as aloe, castor oil is great for alleviating painful sunburns. The ricinoleic acid will protect any blisters that pop up from becoming infected and reduce the inflammation associated with sunburns.14. Castor Oil For Thicker Eyebrows Castor oil has been proven to be an effective way to grow and strengthen your hair. But did you know that it can also work to thicken your eyebrows? The antioxidants, proteins, vitamins, fatty acids and nutrients it contains all work to nurture the hair follicles and fight against bacteria that may be a factor that hinders growth.15. Lengthen Eyelashes With Castor Oil The vitamin E, proteins, minerals, and antibacterial properties of castor oil can help strengthen and lengthen your eyelashes when applied on a regular basis. It penetrates deep into the skin when applied to the area, moisturizing and refreshing the area to help the eyelashes grow quicker and prevent them from breaking.16. Remove Moles and Skin Tags When mixed with a little baking soda, castor oil can be an excellent way to get rid of unsightly moles and skin tags. You simply have to apply the paste to the affected area and cover it with a bandage. Doing this daily for four to six weeks will eliminate the moles and skin tags.17. Soften Cuticles and Eliminates Brittle Nails Castor oil has a high concentration of vitamin E, which works wonders for brittle, dry nails. Massaging it into your nails and cuticles every evening will result in soft cuticles and healthy looking nails. Fern Invigoration Recipe Warm Water (4 Cups)Castor Oil (1 Tbsp)Baby Shampoo (1 Small Drop)18. Perk Up Your Ferns Castor oil has many uses, but did you know that you can use it to liven up your ferns? The high amount of minerals and vitamins will do wonders if your ferns look unhealthy. Combine warm water, castor oil, baby shampoo, and add several drops of the mixture to the soil. Follow up with regular watering, and within a couple of days, your ferns will be perky once again.19. Repel Moles in Your Yard If you have trouble with moles trashing your yard, castor oil could be just what you need to send them on their way. Mix two gallons of water and a half a cup of castor oil and pour it down the mole holes. The solution won’t kill the moles, only make it unpleasant enough that they will find another place to dig. Castor Oil Benefits Castor oil is widely known to be an excellent natural remedy for constipation, but can also be used to benefit your hair, skin, and face. Scientists and doctors believe that the high concentrations of unsaturated fatty acids that are present in Castor oil are the reason for its incredible health benefits. Below are some of the most common benefits of using castor oil.20. Support the lymphatic System Your lymphatic system is responsible for expelling metabolic waste from your body. When you have drainage problems or flow disruptions, castor oil can help to get things moving again. Applying castor oil packs to your lymph nodes allows your body to absorb the oil quickly.21. Reduces Skin Inflammation Castor oil has strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that help to heal bug bites, rashes, and itches. To relieve skin inflammation within a small area on the skin, simply soak a bandage with castor oil and apply it to the affected area. For larger areas, soak a cotton ball in castor oil and apply it to the affected area. Rinse it off after an hour, repeating several times throughout the day.22. Fights Toenail Fungus The undecylenic acid found in castor oil is an active ingredient that is great for relieving fungus in the body.

Reduces menstrual cramps Massaging warm castor oil over your abdomen can be an excellent way to relieve the symptoms of menstrual cramps and period pain. The ricinoleic acid in castor oil works as an anti-inflammatory and is an analgesic agent which helps relieve pain. Castor oil packs are perfect for relieving menstrual cramps.26. Soothe Mouth Sores The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of castor oil make it the perfect natural remedy for treating mouth sores. To address sores in your mouth, apply a small amount of castor oil or peppermint oil to the area. After several minutes, rinse your mouth out with water and repeat several times throughout the day.27. Soothe Muscle Aches and Pains When rubbed directly onto the skin, the ricinoleic acid is better able to penetrate deeper, helping to relieve inflammation in the tissues. To gain relief from sore and painful muscles, place a castor oil pack on the affected area and cover with a heating pad or hot water bottle. The heat helps deliver the castor oil to the inflamed joints and tissue.28. Relieve Insomnia If you suffer from insomnia, castor oil can help you fall asleep. Instead of taking harmful (and sometimes habit-forming) medication to help your insomnia, rub castor oil along your eyelids before going to bed. Your body absorbs the oil and promotes healthy circulation, helping you to become more relaxed, inducing help you sleep.29. Eliminate Corns Corns on your feet can be painful and irritating. The hydrating abilities of castor oil can help to remove them. To treat corns, soak your feet in warm water for about fifteen minutes. Dry your feet and apply castor oil to the corn. After about ten days of treatment, you should be able to peel the corns away easily.30. Anti-Fungal Properties Castor oil contains the biochemical agent undecylenic acid, which is used to stop fungal growth. The undecylenic acid makes the natural remedy ideal for numerous types of fungal infections including yeast infections, athlete’s foot, and ringworm. Mix with coconut oil and apply it to the affected area and left on overnight until the fungus heals. Regular Castor Oil vs. Jamaican Black Castor Oil Users believe Jamaican black castor oil to be one of the most potent mixtures you can get. The increased potency that the Jamaican castor oil offers is as a result of how they process it. Unlike regular castor oil, Jamaican black castor oil is produced by roasting and grinding the organic seeds manually, before being boiled to extract 100% pure dark oil. Cooking the beans for an extended amount of time results in an increased production of ash content. When castor oil contains a high concentration of ash, it is believed to be more efficient because the ash increases the potency of the oil. The darker the oil appears; the more ash it contains. How is Castor Oil Made? Castor oil comes from pressing the seeds of the Ricinus Communis (castor oil) plant. The plant is highly toxic and contains protein and alkaloid ricin. To make castor oil, take the beans from the castor oil plant and roast them. Next, press the beans to release the oil. Please be advised that due to its high toxicity, making castor oil at home is not recommended. What are the Side Effects of Castor Oil? Castor oil is a natural remedy and has been deemed safe to use in limited amounts. However, you may still experience some mild to moderate symptoms if you take too much of it or consume it for an extended period. Before applying a significant amount of castor oil to your skin or ingesting it, determine if you are allergic to it by conducting a patch test. Place a small amount of castor oil on your forearm and let it sit for 24 hours. If you have any reaction, even if it is slight redness or itching, avoid using castor oil for any reason. When taking castor oil, it is important to exercise caution. If you take too much castor oil, it could result in an overdose or poisoning, which could lead to more serious health complications. When Used Orally Dizziness Abdominal Cramps Diarrhea Nausea Electrolyte disturbance Low blood pressure Pelvic congestion When Used Topically Itchiness Skin inflammation Uncomfortable Rash Stinging sensation Swelling of the face and throat Difficulty breathing Additional Castor Oil Recipes Oil Cleansing Method Recipes Use castor oil to care for your skin. Whether you have oily, combination, or dry skin, castor oil is a useful treatment. Castor Oil for Oily Skin Recipe Castor Oil ( 3 Tbsp)Sunflower or Extra Virgin Olive Oil (7 Tbsp)Oily Skin Oily skin can be a problem for a couple of reasons. The first problem is that oily skin can give your face a shiny appearance, which others may view as unattractive. Additionally, your face will be oily to the touch. The second problem is that the oil on your face can clog your pores. When your pores are clogged, you start forming acne, which gives your skin an unattractive appearance at best and causes permanent scarring at worst. Castor Oil for Combination Skin Recipe Castor Oil ( 2 Tbsp)Sunflower or Extra Virgin Olive Oil (8 Tbsp)Combination Skin When you have combination skin, it means your face is dry in some areas and oily in other areas. Many people have combination skin. You may have heard of the T-zone (so named because the area looks like a ‘T’), which is the central part of the face consisting of the eyes, nose, and mouth. The T-zone is where the skin tends to be oily; the cheeks and area under the eyes might be dry or even flaky. The recipe to treat combination skin resembles the recipe for oily skin, though you’re using less castor oil and more sunflower (or extra virgin olive) oil. Dry Skin Castor Oil for Dry Skin Recipe Castor Oil ( 1 Tbsp)Sunflower or Extra Virgin Olive Oil (9 Tbsp)Scaling, itchiness, and cracking characterize dry skin. In general, you’re more likely to experience dry skin in the fall and winter months, when the air is dryer. You might also experience it as you get older, as your body produces less oil. More specifically, there are a few lifestyle changes available if you’re experiencing dry skin. When you shower, use warm water (rather than hot) as hot water reduces the amount of oil on your skin. After showering, pat the skin dry rather than rub it. Consider showering every other day instead of every day, use soap with moisturizing properties, and apply lotion (also with moisturizing properties) as soon as you get out of the shower. Hair Serum Recipe Castor Oil Hair Conditioner Recipe Castor Oil (3 Tbsp)Jojoba/Argon Oil (1 Tbsp)Lemon Juice (1/2 Lemon, Optional)As mentioned above, castor oil is fantastic for promoting hair growth. Even if you’re not looking to promote hair growth, castor oil makes an excellent substitute for hair conditioners. Castor oil possesses a variety of antibacterial, anti-fungal, and antiviral properties, meaning it treats dandruff. Its heaviness helps tame frizzy hair and split ends, and its moisture-richness penetrates your hair and promotes a beautiful shine. To use castor oil as a conditioner, mix castor oil and Jojoba (or Argon) oil. If you’re treating dandruff, consider also adding the juice from half a lemon. Castor Oil Packs Take a piece of flannel, cotton, or wool fabric Soak in Castor oil Place over affected area When finished, place in a plastic zip lock bag, to reuse later How Much Castor Oil is Safe? Your particular medical condition, your age, and your weight will determine the right amount of castor oil to take. Talk to your health care professional before taking any castor oil as they can provide you with the right dosage. Castor Oil: Oil of Many Uses Castor oil is often considered a remedy for relieving constipation; however, it can do so much more than that.

Lord's Cricket Ground in St John's Wood, England Statistics, Weather and records and schedule - vCricket.com capacity 28000 Lord's Cricket Ground, generally known as Lord's, is a cricket venue in St John's Wood, London. Named after its founder, Thomas Lord, it is owned by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and is the home of Middlesex County Cricket Club, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), the European Cricket Council (ECC) and, until August 2005, the International Cricket Council (ICC). Lord's is widely referred to as the "home of cricket" and is home to the world's oldest sporting museum. Lord's today is not on its original site, being the third of three grounds that Lord established between 1787 and 1814. His first ground, now referred to as Lord's Old Ground, was where Dorset Square now stands. His second ground, Lord's Middle Ground, was used from 1811 to 1813 before being abandoned to make way for the construction through its outfield of the Regent's Canal. The present Lord's ground is about 250 yards (230 m) north-west of the site of the Middle Ground. The ground can hold 28,000 spectators. Proposals are being developed to increase capacity and amenity.[3] As of December 2013, it was proposed to redevelop the ground at a cost of around £200? million over a 14-year period. The current ground celebrated its two hundredth anniversary in 2014. To mark the occasion, on 5 July a Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) XI captained by Sachin Tendulkar played a Rest of the World XI led by Shane Warne in a 50 overs match

He subsequently took back the annexed Caucasian territories which were divided among the Ottoman and Russian authorities by the ongoing chaos in Iran. During the reign of Nader Shah, Iran reached its greatest extent since the Sassanid Empire, reestablishing the Iranian hegemony all over the Caucasus, as well as other major parts of the west and central Asia, and briefly possessing what was arguably the most powerful empire at the time.

Victoria was pleased when Gladstone resigned in 1885 after his budget was defeated. She thought his government was "the worst I have ever had", and blamed him for the death of General Gordon at Khartoum. Gladstone was replaced by Lord Salisbury. Salisbury's government only lasted a few months, however, and Victoria was forced to recall Gladstone, whom she referred to as a "half crazy & really in many ways ridiculous old man". Gladstone attempted to pass a bill granting Ireland home rule, but to Victoria's glee it was defeated. In the ensuing election, Gladstone's party lost to Salisbury's and the government switched hands again.

Staten Island Encyclopedia > Places > United States, Canada, and Greenland > U.S. Physical Geography Staten Island Staten Island (1990 pop. 378,977), 59 sq mi (160 sq km), SE N.Y., in New York Bay, SW of Manhattan, forming Richmond co. of New York state and the borough of Staten Island of New York City. It is separated from New Jersey by Kill Van Kull and Arthur Kill, which are crossed by bridges. Ferries connect the island with Manhattan, and the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge links it with Brooklyn. The hills of NE Staten Island rise to 410 ft (125 m) at Todt Hill, the highest point along the Atlantic coast S of Maine. The industrial area of Staten Island is located in the north, where docks line the northern and eastern shores. The availability of open space made the island the site of large container-handling facilities, as well as New York City's 3,000-acre (1,215-hectare) Fresh Kills landfill, the largest such facility in the country until it was closed in 2001. Fresh Kills will be redeveloped as park. Centers of trade include St. George (the borough hall) and Port Richmond. Beaches and parks, including part of Gateway National Recreation Area, are found along the southeastern coast. The island was visited by Henry Hudson in 1609 and was called Staaten Eylandet by the Dutch. The Native population drove off the first white settlers, but by 1661 a permanent settlement had been founded. Though there was considerable industrial activity on Staten Island in the 19th cent., its predominant character was semirural, something which had not changed when it became a borough of New York City in 1898. The turning point in the island's recent history was the completion of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge (1964). Since then Staten Island has had an influx of new residents and industries. Changes in the 1980s in the structure of New York City's government led many Staten Islanders to believe their voting strength was being diminished. In 1993, Staten Island residents voted to secede from the city, but such a move would require state approval. Low-lying coastal areas of the island suffered serious flooding from Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Among the extant buildings of the 17th, 18th, and 19th cent. is the Billopp, or Conference, House (built before 1688), in which an unsuccessful Revolutionary War peace conference was held in 1776. The Richmondtown Restoration, an example of 18th- and 19th-century life on the island, includes Voorlezer's House (built c.1695). Other points of interest include several old churches, Sailor's Snug Harbor, the Garibaldi Memorial, Fort Wadsworth, and the Staten Island Zoo. Wagner College, Richmond College of the City Univ. of New York, and a branch of St. John's Univ. are on Staten Island. The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 6th ed.

Healthy Weight during Pregnancy Healthy Weight during Pregnancy Review by Taylor Wolfram, MS, RDN, LDNPublished February 22, 2017pixelheadphoto/i Stock/Thinkstock While pregnancy is not the time to lose weight, women should not use their expanding bellies as a reason to eat more than is necessary. The amount of food a woman needs during pregnancy depends on a number of things including her body mass index, or BMI, before pregnancy, the rate at which she gains weight, age and appetite. All pregnant women should eat a variety of nutrient-rich foods each day. It may also be necessary to take a vitamin and mineral supplement if recommended by a physician. Many women start off pregnancy with an overweight or obese BMI and many gain more weight than is healthy during their pregnancy. Research shows the risk of problems during pregnancy and delivery is lowest when weight gain is kept within a healthy range. Obesity during pregnancy is risky for both mother and child, with some risks including gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension (high blood pressure), Cesarean delivery, birth defects and even fetal death. If a women is obese during pregnancy, it also raises the chance her child will be obese later in life. Weight Gain Guidelines The latest weight gain guidelines by the Institute of Medicine are based on a women's BMI before pregnancy. ( See Understanding Body Mass Index (BMI) .) The amount of weight gained depends on which category the pre-pregnancy BMI lands in: Underweight: BMI below 18.5Normal weight: 18.5 to 24.9Overweight: 25.0 to 29.9Obese: 30.0 and above The weight ranges below are for a full-term pregnancy: Underweight: 28 to 40 pounds Normal: 25 to 35 pounds Overweight: 15 to 25 pounds Obese: 11 to 20 pounds For twins, the recommendations naturally go up: Normal: 37 to 54 pounds Overweight: 31 to 50 pounds Obese: 25 to 42 pounds There are no set guidelines for underweight BMI weight gain with twins. Calorie Intake In general, pregnant women need between 2,200 calories and 2,900 calories a day. A gradual increase in calories as the baby grows is the best bet. Here is an overview of how calorie needs change during each trimester: The first trimester does not require any extra calories. During the second trimester, an additional 340 calories a day are recommended. For the third trimester, the recommendation is 450 calories more a day than when not pregnant. Additional calories should come from nutrient-dense foods including lean protein, whole grains, dairy, vegetables and fruit. Avoid unneeded extra calories by cutting down on foods high in fat and added sugars such as regular soda, sweets and fried foods. Physical Activity Physical activity can help manage weight gain. The activity guidelines for pregnant women are 30 minutes of moderate exercise on most, if not all, days of the week. Make sure to talk with a doctor before starting or continuing any exercise routine while pregnant. Reviewed January 2017Tags Health Pregnancy Prenatal Wellness For Women

Iran national football team Iran is one of the most successful national teams in Asia with three Asian Cup championships (1968, 1972, and 1976). Iran's best performance at the Olympics was reaching the quarterfinals in the 1976 Montreal Games. Iran has qualified for the World Cup five times (1978, 1998, 2006, 2014, and 2018) but has never advanced past the group stage. They have, however, won two matches in the World Cup, one against the United States in 1998, and their opener against Morocco in 2018.
Hafnium - Element information, properties and uses \| Periodic Table Chemistry in its element: hafnium (Promo) You're listening to Chemistry in its element brought to you by Chemistry World, the magazine of the Royal Society of Chemistry. (End promo) Meera Senthilingam This week, super alloys, nuclear reactors and space rockets. Just some of the reasons that this week's uncommon and unknown element Hafnium is cherished by scientists worldwide. Here's Eric Scerri. Eric Scerri Today I am going to talk about an uncommon element that is also not very well known. However it has a rather interesting history and some important commercial applications including its use in the nuclear power industry and in the making of super-alloys. The element is number 72 in the periodic table, and is called hafnium. It takes its name from hafnium, the old Latin name for Copenhagen which is the city in which it was first isolated in 1922. But first let me back-track a little. In 1913, the physicist Henry Moseley, working in Manchester and later Oxford, discovered an experimental method for ordering the elements according to their atomic numbers. Prior to this work the elements in the periodic table had been ordered by using their atomic weights, which gave rise to a series with uneven gaps between each element. As a result, nobody could be sure how many elements remained to be discovered. All this changed following Moseley's discovery because atomic number increases in whole number steps as one moves through the periodic table. One of the gaps that opened up, was between element 71, lutetium, and element 73, tantalum. Moreover this particular case was complicated by the fact that it was not clear if element 72 would turn out to be a transition metal, or perhaps a rare earth element, since element 72 falls at the boundary between these two types of elements. Some chemists thought the element would be a rare earth element and carried out many fruitless searches for the element among minerals containing rare earths. But some other chemists suggested that the new element would be a transition metal. The chemical argument for this was quite simple. According to some versions of the periodic table, element 72 fell underneath titanium and zirconium in the periodic table, and both of these elements were known transition elements. Then an argument from physics was proposed by Niels Bohr, one of the founders of quantum theory. According to the electronic configuration that Bohr predicted for element 72 he also agreed that it had be a transition metal. In 1923 Coster and Hevesy a couple of young researchers in Bohr's institute decided to try to isolate the element as a test of Bohr's theory. In order to do this they followed the chemists' suggestion and decided to look among the ores of zirconium. Within just a few weeks they succeeded by examining some Norwegian zircon and by detecting the X-ray spectral line frequencies expected for this element. It was the discovery of one of the only six then remaining gaps in the periodic table. It also turned out to be the one but last discovery of any naturally occurring element, the last one being rhenium a few years later. Hafnium is not all that uncommon compared to many other exotic elements. It occurs to the extent of 5.8 ppm of the Earth's upper crust by weight. The reason why it took a long time to isolate is that its atoms have almost the identical size to those of zirconium, along with which it typically occurs in minerals. This makes it difficult to separate from zirconium. But these days a number of methods of extraction have been developed and hafnium has found many of applications because of its rather specific properties. It is a shiny, silvery metal that is corrosion resistant to a remarkable degree. More important perhaps, it has a very high ability to capture neutrons which renders it ideal for making control rods in nuclear reactors, especially those that need to operate under harsh conditions such as today's pressurized water reactors.

Prior to 1992, Armenians would participate in the Olympics representing the USSR. As part of the Soviet Union, Armenia was very successful, winning plenty of medals and helping the USSR win the medal standings at the Olympics on numerous occasions. The first medal won by an Armenian in modern Olympic history was by Hrant Shahinyan (sometimes spelled as Grant Shaginyan), who won two golds and two silvers in gymnastics at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki. To highlight the level of success of Armenians in the Olympics, Shahinyan was quoted as saying:

CLEO SPRINGS. Home \| Publications \| Encyclopedia \| Cleo Springs View A–Z Index Browse By Topic Urban Development Explore Place Town CLEO SPRINGS. Located in north-central Major County, Cleo Springs is situated one mile north of the intersection of State Highway 8 and U. S. Highway 60. Prior to 1907 statehood Cleo Springs lay within Woods County. Originally known as Cleo, a post office was established on March 21, 1894. According to legend Cleo Springs was named for Cle-oh-i-to-mo, an American Indian maiden who resided in the area when Coronado traversed through the region in 1541. The springs were said to have had curative powers. The first issue of the Cleo Eagle-Chief newspaper appeared on March 1, 1894, approximately five months after the Cherokee Outlet land opening. On May 15, 1901, Cleo Springs residents voted to incorporate by a vote of 65 to 6. In 1902 the Choctaw Northern Railroad (later the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway) came through Cleo Springs when a line was built from Geary (Blaine County) to the Kansas-Oklahoma border. One year later the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway (later the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway) constructed a line from the Kansas-Oklahoma border to Fairview, which passed through one mile west of Cleo Springs. By 1909 Cleo Springs was a thriving agricultural center with a mill and an elevator, several harness makers, and blacksmiths. Two banks (Cleo State Bank and the Farmers' State Bank), an opera house, and a weekly newspaper served the citizenry. Settlers organized four churches, the Christian, the Church of Christ, the Friends, and the Methodist. In the mid-1940s and 1950s Cleo Springs had numerous blacksmiths, grocery/meat markets, gasoline stations, and automobile repair garages. The Cleo State Bank continued to serve the community. Located approximately four miles north of Cleo Springs and just north of the Major-Alfalfa county line, the Cleo Springs Sod House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NR 70000526). At 1907 statehood Cleo Springs had 405 citizens. By 1920 the population declined to 377. Numbers rose slightly to 386 in 1940 but declined to a low of 236 in 1960. Population peaked in 1980 at 514. At the turn of the twenty-first century the town had 326 residents, and 95.5 percent of those employed commuted to Fairview and other job centers. The 2010 census recorded a population of 338.

The army's most common vehicle is the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), commonly called the Humvee, which is capable of serving as a cargo/troop carrier, weapons platform, and ambulance, among many other roles. While they operate a wide variety of combat support vehicles, one of the most common types centers on the family of HEMTT vehicles. The M1A2 Abrams is the army's main battle tank, while the M2A3 Bradley is the standard infantry fighting vehicle. Other vehicles include the Stryker, and the M113 armored personnel carrier, and multiple types of Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles.
The blanket stitch is a stitch used to reinforce the edge of thick materials. Depending on circumstances, it may also be called a whip stitch or a crochet stitch. It is defined as A decorative stitch used to finish an unhemmed blanket. The stitch can be seen on both sides of the blanket..hen done by machine, it may be called a whip stitch or, sometimes, a Merrow Crochet Stitch, after the first sewing machine that was used to sew a blanket stitch. This machine was produced and patented by the Merrow Machine Company in 1877.
History of Jehovah's Witnesses He instituted major training programs, including the Watch Tower Bible School of Gilead to train missionaries, and the Theocratic Ministry School to give instruction in preaching and public speaking at the congregational level. He commissioned a new translation of the Bible, which was released progressively from 1950, before being published as the complete New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures in 1961. Also produced were a Greek-English New Testament interlinear (The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures) and a Bible encyclopedia (Aid to Bible Understanding). The offices of elder and ministerial servant (deacon) were restored to Witness congregations in 1972, with appointments being made from headquarters.[178]

Anne -LRB- 6 February 1665 -- 1 August 1714 -RRB- became Queen of England , Scotland and Ireland on 8 March 1702 . On 1 May 1707 , under the Acts of Union , two of her realms , the kingdoms of England and Scotland , united as a single sovereign state known as Great Britain . She continued to reign as Queen of Great Britain and Ireland until her death . Anne was born in the reign of her uncle Charles II , who had no legitimate children . Her father , James , was first in line to the throne . His suspected Roman Catholicism was unpopular in England , and on Charles 's instructions Anne was raised as an Anglican . Three years after he succeeded Charles , James was deposed in the `` Glorious Revolution '' of 1688 . Anne 's Dutch Protestant brother-in-law and cousin William III became joint monarch with his wife , Anne 's elder sister Mary II . Although the sisters had been close , disagreements over Anne 's finances , status and choice of acquaintances arose shortly after Mary 's accession and they became estranged . William and Mary had no children . After Mary 's death in 1694 , William continued as sole monarch until he was succeeded by Anne upon his death in 1702 . As queen , Anne favoured moderate Tory politicians , who were more likely to share her Anglican religious views than their opponents , the Whigs . The Whigs grew more powerful during the course of the War of the Spanish Succession , until in 1710 Anne dismissed many of them from office . Her close friendship with Sarah Churchill , Duchess of Marlborough , turned sour as the result of political differences . Anne was plagued by ill health throughout her life . From her thirties onwards , she grew increasingly lame and obese . Despite seventeen pregnancies by her husband , Prince George of Denmark , she died without any surviving children and was the last monarch of the House of Stuart . Under the terms of the Act of Settlement 1701 , she was succeeded by her second cousin George I of the House of Hanover , who was a descendant of the Stuarts through his maternal grandmother , Elizabeth , a daughter of James VI and I.
Reunion, a public sculpture by Don Gummer, is located on the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis campus, located near downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. The sculpture consists of two interlocking metal forms that have separate bases that eventually unite with one another. "Reunion" is located on the east side of the Herron School of Art and Design and is approximately 253 cm in height and approximately 167 cm wide. "Reunion" was created in 1992 as a model for a larger Reunion sculpture located in Japan. "Reunion" is made from cast bronze.
If a state tried this, the military would just walk in and take it back for failure to recognize the federal govt. There is no hope for your state in that case. But again, "states" aren't even a thing post civil War. The US is a single entity, divided purely for administrative purposes.
Polydactyl Cats \| PoC Polydactyl Cats by Michael Broad Polydactyl cats have more than the usual number of toes. The normal number is five on each of the paws of the front limbs and four on each of the paws of the hind limbs. Polydactyl cats have 6 or 7 on the front and 5 on the rear. They have strikingly over-sized paws and Catherine has described her cat, Big Foot , who certainly has one of the biggest paws that I have seen. It seems that the extra toes can lead some cats to being more dextrous with their paws. Valley Girl lives with a polydactyl Maine Coon, Tootsie, and talks about this (new window). It is said that the extra dexterity comes from opposable inner toes in some polydactyl cats. Human thumbs are opposable because they can touch the fingers. They move in a different direction (towards the fingers) which allows us to grasp things. The same applies to cats that are polydactyl. Is it possible that this ability to be more dexterous has indirectly made these cats smarter through using their paws to grasp objects etc.? See too: Cat Intelligence . I think that there are four natural topics to discuss on this subject: their origins, what causes polydactylism, whether there are any associated health problems and what about the breeding of this cat? Incidentally, two other names (there are more) for cats with more than the usual number of toes are: Cardi cats – named after Cardiganshire in South West Wales (UK) where there is a higher than average population of polydactyl cats. This is perhaps because this was and is a shipping area and sailors considered these cats better mousers and so they were ships cats. Hemingway cats – the author Ernest Hemingway who kept cats one of which was polydactyl. These is now a colony of them. See American Polydactyl Cats (new window). Origin of Polydactyl cats Well, some Americans say that they are unique to the United States, which is not true – sorry – I hope the special relationship is not damaged. They are found in the UK and in Europe generally and why not? Genetic mutations of domestic cats have no reason to be confined to North America, surely. There is the argument that they were imported with the Puritan settlers that landed near Boston. Although others argue that these cats were already there. However, it is now accepted that the domestic cat comes from the European and African-Asian, wildcats. This being the case it would mean that the importation theory must be correct. The importation theory is supported by clusters of polydactyl cats in places where ships from Boston would have travelled to at the time (1600s and later), namely Yarmouth, Massachusetts and Halifax, Nova Scotia . See map below: Charles Darwin referred to six-toed cats in his book The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication, Volume 1. The book was published in the 1850s apparently. Although the cat fancy had yet to really start deliberate cat breeding at this time, breeding was probably taking place in England before then. It is said breeding of cats in Paraguay started 300 years earlier! How – genes Polydactyl cats carry a mutated dominant gene – Pd – that causes this congenital defect, charming though it is. Although this (according to Robinson’s Genetics) is the only known gene, implying there may be others. The authors of Robinson’s genetics say that this condition may not be caused by a single mutant gene There are two forms (a) extra digits on the inside (thumb side) and (b) on the outside. This is a dominant gene with variable expression. One of the expressions of the gene causes harmful medical conditions such as radial hypoplasia . There is a cat type called the Twisty Cat that is controversial and which is an example of one of the various types of expression of this gene. Polydactyl hind feet only exist when the condition is present in the forelimbs. Breeding There are breeders who want to create a distinct breed from polydactyl cats. There is the American Polydactyl Cat for instance and another is the Ithacats. One breeder I think worth mentioning is Polypaws (new window). They seem

There are four categories of terra nullius, land that is unclaimed by any state: the small unclaimed territory of Bir Tawil between Egypt and Sudan, Antarctica, the oceans, and celestial bodies such as the Moon or Mars. In the last three of these, international treaties (the Antarctic Treaty, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and the Outer Space Treaty respectively) prevent colonization and potential statehood of any of these uninhabited (and, given current technology, not permanently inhabitable) territories.

Beverly Hills, 90210 continuity \| 90210 Wiki \| Fandom powered by Wikia Beverly Hills, 90210 continuity Share The Beverly Hills, 90210 continuity The Beverly Hills, 90210 continuity comprises the ongoing timeline and shared characters which link the American television series Beverly Hills, 90210 ; Melrose Place ; Models Inc. ; 90210 ; and the 2009 edition of Melrose Place . The continuity was introduced in 1990 with Darren Star's teen drama Beverly Hills, 90210, which was produced by Aaron Spelling and aired on the FOX television network in the United States. After this series became a worldwide success in 1991, Star expanded the franchise with 1992's Melrose Place—a drama about young adults in Los Angeles which would also grow into a famous hit. The third series, Models Inc., aired from June 1994 to March 1995. The fourth entry, simply titled 90210, was the first show in the franchise to not debut on FOX in the United States. Originally developed by writer/producer Rob Thomas, who was succeeded by Jeff Judah and Gabe Sachs, the series premiered on The CW television network on September 2, 2008. In September 2009, the fifth series, a follow-up to Melrose Place, also debuted on the CW, and concluded in April 2010. Contents [ show ] Production Darren Star, producer of the first series and the first spin-off, is the original creator of the Beverly Hills, 90210 continuity. While planning a new teen drama in 1989-90, FOX learned of Darren Star's interest in writing youth-oriented screenplays. Upon being hired by the network, Star created the concept and characters for the series that would eventually become Beverly Hills, 90210. The unexpected worldwide success of this project, as well as that of the spin-off Melrose Place, was largely credited with launching Star's career, while bringing early fortune to FOX in the process. Aaron Spelling, whose production company helmed the series, was well-known for producing some of the most famous shows on television, including Dynasty and The Love Boat. Spelling would produce the next two shows in the franchise as well, Melrose Place in 1992 and Models Inc. two years later. These spin-offs concluded in 1999 and 1995 respectively, followed by the conclusion of the original series during early 2000. In 2008, the franchise launched a return via the fourth production, 90210, attracting a new collection of noted creators. Rob Thomas, known for the television show Veronica Mars, began the initial work on the project. Prior to the premiere, Thomas was succeeded by producers Jeff Judah and Gabe Sachs, both known for the series Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared. During the first season, Rebecca Rand Kirshner Sinclair, who'd previously worked on Gilmore Girls and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, became the series' new show runner. Writers Charles Rosin contributed extensively to the first show. Emmy-nominated scribe Charles Rosin joined Beverly Hills, 90210 in its first year and served as a writer and executive producer, scripting several episodes in seasons to come along with his wife Karen. Other prominent writers who worked on the first series included John Eisendrath and Steve Wasserman. Charles Pratt, Jr. and Frank South worked closely with Darren Star in writing early seasons of Melrose Place, helping to set the tone of the series as it grew in popularity. Pratt and South would then create the similarly toned Models Inc. Rebecca Rand Kirshner Sinclair wrote for 90210 during the first season prior to her promotion. Casting Jennie Garth has appeared in the most episodes of any performer in the franchise Throughout its run, the continuity has attracted several established actors, while bringing fame to others and the roles which they have portrayed. The narrative's most widely seen character is Jennie Garth's Kelly Taylor, who was instrumental in launching two spin-offs, and has been used in the most episodes throughout the franchise. Also made famous via the first program was male lead Jason Priestley, who earned Golden Globe nominations and began a directorial career via the series, and actor Luke Pe
Flag of North Carolina A former Confederate soldier and then state Adjutant General, Johnston Jones, introduced the bill which led the state legislature to adopt this flag in March 1885 to replace the flag that had been adopted on June 22, 1861, immediately following the state's declaration of secession from the U.S. on May 20, 1861. The red field of the old flag was replaced by a blue field. This was the first and only flag formally representing the State of North Carolina at the time.
Green sea turtle Green sea turtles migrate long distances between feeding sites and nesting sites; some swim more than 2,600 kilometres (1,600Â mi) to reach their spawning grounds. Beaches in Southeast Asia, India, islands in the western Pacific, and Central America are where Green sea turtles breed.[6] Mature turtles often return to the exact beach from which they hatched. Females usually mate every two to four years. Males, on the other hand, visit the breeding areas every year, attempting to mate.[62] Mating seasons vary between populations. For most C. mydas in the Caribbean, mating season is from June to September.[22] The French Guiana nesting subpopulation nests from March to June.[34] In the tropics, green turtles nest throughout the year, although some subpopulations prefer particular times of the year. In Pakistan, Indian Ocean turtles nest year-round, but prefer the months of July to December.[46]
Where are codons and anticodons found and how is their relationship crucial to protein synthesis? Science & Mathematics Biology Where are codons and anticodons found and how is their relationship crucial to protein synthesis? Follow 8 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Codons are the m RNA triplets of nucleotides (i.e. AUG, CUG, etc) that are made by DNA (transcription). DNA is in the nucleus and makes a strand of m RNA. This m RNA leaves the nucleus and goes out into the cytoplasm and binds to a ribosome. These m RNA codons are complementary to triplets of nucleotides in a t RNA molecule (anticodon) which is out in the cytoplasm of the cell. This t RNA anticodon brings the amino acid that it codes for into the ribosome (translation) to join with other amino acids to eventually become a protein. These relationships - DNA to m RNA (transcription) and m RNA with t RNA (translation) are what direct the process of protein sythesis. The base pairing of the nucleotides from a DNA codon to a m RNA codon and from m RNA to a t RNA anticodon are what determine the sequence of amino acids in the protein. Edited: Note: DNA triplets are called codons. http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultrane...p GLO · 10 years ago2 0 Comment Asker's rating For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/8Mn2P Translation: 1. Each set of 3 bases on the m RNA is called a codon. Each codon calls for a specific amino acid to be brought to the building site. The first codon is always AUG, so it is called the start codon. 2. In the cytoplasm are molecules of t RNA. On one end of a t RNA molecule is the anticodon: a set of three bases that will match a certain codon. The other end of the t RNA can pick up and hold a certain amino acid. Each t RNA can only hold one kind of amino acid. 3. A t RNA with an anticodon that matches whichever codon is in place on the ribosome (think of that codon as being "at bat") clicks into place. The codon and anticodon fit together like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Since the first codon is AUG, the first anticodon must have the matching bases UAC. (Memory trick: AU match like in AUstralia; CG match and they both are round letters.) 4. The process moves along to the next codon, or the next "batter". Lets say that the next codon is UCC. Then a t RNA with the anticodon AGG will fit. 5. The amino acid brought by the first t RNA bonds to the amino acid brought by the second t RNA. The first t RNA is free to go, and the second t RNA stays in place for now. 6. Steps 4 and 5 repeat until finally they come to an m RNA codon that is the STOP codon. At this point the amino acid chain breaks off, folds up, and the protein is ready to use. Nancy · 2 years ago0 0 Commentcodons are found in m RNA; they are triplets that code for a protein. It would technically be wrong to say codons exist in DNA- it's a term that is specific for m RNA. Anti codons are found in transfer RNAs or t RNAs. The anti codon is a small three base pair region that pairs with a particular codon. As the t RNA enters the ribosome, it has an amino acid attached at the top- the t RNA attaches to the m RNA at the bottom- where the anticodon/codon pair. the codon/anticodon system is how the correct polypeptide chain is synthesized.

Source (s):codons anticodons relationship crucial protein synthesis: https://shorturl.im/Eh YYOLily · 2 years ago0 0 Comment Transcription and translation are the two stages involved in protein synthesis. Transcription: DNA genetic code determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein. There are 20 different amino acids in proteins but only four different bases on DNA Nucleotide. Therefore sequences of three bases on DNA codes for each amino acids. (DNA triplet code) However, the DNA is a double stranded molecule and so is too large to move out of the nuclear pores and move to the ribosomes where the amino acids are assembled into proteins. The code must be copied or transcribed onto a single stranded 'messenger' which can move to the ribosomes (messenger m RNA) RNA differs from DNA in one of its bases. DNA bases are Adenine (A), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G) and Thymine (T). In RNA Thymine is replaced by Uracil (U). Following the base pairing rule : Adenine pairs with Thymine and Cytosine pairs with Guanine. The steps are outlined below: 1. DNA in the nucleus uncoils and 'unzips' exposing the nucleotide bases. 2. Free m RNA nucleotides find and match with their base partners on one of the DNA strands. 3. The m RNA nucleotides are joined into a strand by the enzyme RNA polymerase. 4. The m RNA moves through the nuclear pore to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm where assembly of amino acids into protein occurs. 5. The DNA strands rejoin and the molecule recoils into a helix. Sequences of three bases on m RNA is called a codon. Translation requires another type of RNA called Transfer (t RNA). This is also single stranded and has a sequence of three bases on one end (called an anticodon) and carries a specific amino acid on the other end. There are at least 20 different t RNA molecules to carry the 20 different amino acids found in proteins. Translation is where the genetic code from the original sequence on DNA is 'translated' into a sequence of amino acids in the final protein. Translation 1. The m RNA strand attaches to a ribosome at one end and the code is 'read' one codon at a time. 2. t RNA molecules anticodons attach to the corresponding codon on the m RNA. 3. This continues until the codon on the m RNA does not code for an amino acid (STOP SIGNAL) 4. This signifies that all the amino acids for that protein are assembled. 5. The amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds to form a polypeptide chain (protein) 6. The completed polypeptide peels off and may move to the Golgi body if it has to be modified eg made ito glycoprotein. The following is an illustration to demonstrate that, although the DNA does not leave the nucleus, it still determines the order of amino acids by its genetic code. Imagine a DNA strand with the following sequence: TAG CCG AAC GAG TTA m RNA codons AUC GGC UUG CUC AAU t RNA anticodons UAG CCG AAC GAG UUA Notice how the t RNA anticodons are exactly like the DNA triplet code. hence DNA determines which amino acids are brought to be assembled into protein.

These two base pair sequences are complimentary to each other, so that codons and anti-codons will bind together. Codons are found on m-RNA which has been transcribed from DNA.

Religious humanism is an integration of humanist ethical philosophy with religious rituals and beliefs that centre on human needs, interests, and abilities. Though practitioners of religious humanism did not officially organise under the name of "humanism" until the late 19th and early 20th centuries, non-theistic religions paired with human-centred ethical philosophy have a long history. The Cult of Reason (French: Culte de la Raison) was a religion based on deism devised during the French Revolution by Jacques Hébert, Pierre Gaspard Chaumette and their supporters. In 1793 during the French Revolution, the cathedral Notre Dame de Paris was turned into a "Temple to Reason" and for a time Lady Liberty replaced the Virgin Mary on several altars. In the 1850s, Auguste Comte, the Father of Sociology, founded Positivism, a "religion of humanity". One of the earliest forerunners of contemporary chartered humanist organisations was the Humanistic Religious Association formed in 1853 in London. This early group was democratically organised, with male and female members participating in the election of the leadership and promoted knowledge of the sciences, philosophy, and the arts. The Ethical Culture movement was founded in 1876. The movement's founder, Felix Adler, a former member of the Free Religious Association, conceived of Ethical Culture as a new religion that would retain the ethical message at the heart of all religions. Ethical Culture was religious in the sense of playing a defining role in people's lives and addressing issues of ultimate concern.
Birth and death of William Shakespeare celebrated - Apr 23, 1564 - HISTORY.com Birth and death of William Shakespeare celebrated Share this: Birth and death of William Shakespeare celebrated Author Birth and death of William Shakespeare celebrated URL Publisher A+E Networks Historians believe Shakespeare was born on this day in 1564, the same day he died in 1616. Although the plays of William Shakespeare may be the most widely read works in the English language, little is known for certain about the playwright himself. Some scholars even believe the plays were not written by William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon but by some other well-educated, aristocratic writer who wished to remain anonymous. Shakespeare’s father was probably a common tradesman. He became an alderman and bailiff in Stratford-upon-Avon, and Shakespeare was baptized in the town on April 26, 1564. At age 18, Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, and the couple had a daughter in 1583 and twins in 1585. Sometime later, Shakespeare set off for London to become an actor and by 1592 was well established in London’s theatrical world as both a performer and a playwright. His earliest plays, including The Comedy of Errors and The Taming of the Shrew, were written in the early 1590s. Later in the decade, he wrote tragedies such as Romeo and Juliet (1594-1595) and comedies including The Merchant of Venice (1596-1597). His greatest tragedies were written after 1600, including Hamlet (1600-01), Othello (1604-05), King Lear (1605-06), and Macbeth (1605-1606). He became a member of the popular theater group the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, who later became the King’s Men. The group built and operated the famous Globe Theater in 1599. Shakespeare ultimately became a major shareholder in the troupe and earned enough money to buy a large house in Stratford in 1597. He retired to Stratford in 1610, where he wrote his last plays, including The Tempest (1611) and The Winter’s Tale (1610-11). Meanwhile, he had written more than 100 sonnets, which were published in 1609. Although pirated versions of Titus Andronicus, Romeo and Juliet and some other plays were published during Shakespeare’s lifetime, no definitive collection of his works was published until after his death. In 1623, two members of Shakespeare’s troupe collected the plays and printed what is now called the First Folio (1623). Related Videos

In 2008, the High Court in South Africa ruled that Chinese South Africans who were residents during the apartheid era (and their descendants) are to be reclassified as "Black people," solely for the purposes of accessing affirmative action benefits, because they were also "disadvantaged" by racial discrimination. Chinese people who arrived in the country after the end of apartheid do not qualify for such benefits.
