antelope \| mammal \| Britannica.com Antelope springbok Antelope, any of numerous Old World grazing and browsing hoofed mammals belonging to the family Bovidae (order Artiodactyla ). Antelopes account for over two-thirds of the approximately 135 species of hollow-horned ruminants (cud chewers) in the family Bovidae, which also includes cattle , sheep , and goats . One antelope, the Indian blackbuck , bears the Latin name Antilope cervicapra; nevertheless, antelope is not a taxonomic name but a catchall term for an astonishing variety of ruminating ungulates ranging in size from the diminutive royal antelope (2 kg [4 pounds]) to the giant eland (800 kg [1,800 pounds]). (The North American pronghorn antelope looks and acts much like a gazelle but belongs in a separate family, the Antilocapridae.) Africa, with some 71 species, is the continent of antelopes. Only 14 species inhabit the entire continent of Asia, and all but three of them are members of the gazelle tribe (Antilopini). Seven different kinds of antelopes: the gerenuk (Litocranius walleri), the impala … Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Appearance and behaviour As in all of Bovidae, all male antelopes have horns , which range from the short spikes of duikers to the corkscrew horns (more than 160 cm [63 inches] long) of the greater kudu . Two-thirds of female antelopes bear horns; they are invariably thinner and usually shorter than those of the male. In gregarious species in which both sexes regularly associate in mixed herds, the horns are similarly shaped, and in female oryxes and elands they are often longer. Zebra duiker (Cephalophus zebra). artiodactyl: Antelopes have adapted to many different ecological niches and so vary in their size, shape, locomotion, diet, social organization, and antipredator strategy. Despite the diversity of adaptations , one important generalization can be made: there is a marked difference between antelopes of closed habitats and those of open habitats. The former (e.g., duikers, reedbucks , and bushbucks ) are mostly small to medium-sized animals adapted for movement through undergrowth, with overdeveloped hindquarters, a rounded back, and short legs. This conformation is adapted to quick starts and a bounding, dodging run, which is how cover-dependent antelopes whose first line of defense is concealment try to escape predators that chance to find them. Their coloration is camouflaging. They are solitary, living alone or in mated pairs on home ranges defended as territories, and they are browsers of foliage rather than grazers of grass. By contrast, antelopes of open habitats are mostly medium to large grass eaters. They are built for speed, having level backs with long, equally developed limbs (or with higher shoulders, as in the hartebeest tribe). Their coloration is revealing. They have a gregarious social organization and a mating system based on male territoriality (except in the kudu tribe). Bohor reedbucks (Redunca redunca). Ringling Bros. Folds Its Tent Taxonomists assign antelopes to three subfamilies and 10 tribes that differ from one another as much as cattle (tribe Bovini) differ from sheep and goats (tribe Caprini). Yet antelopes are linked to both cattle and goats: the spiral-horned antelopes (tribe Tragelaphini, which includes the oxlike eland), are placed in the subfamily Bovinae together with cattle and the tribe Boselaphini, which includes the big nilgai and the little four-horned antelope. Although gazelles and their allies (including the blackbuck) are placed in a different subfamily (Antilopinae) from sheep and goats (Caprinae), several Asian bovids that look and behave like antelopes have been shown by DNA evidence to be caprines, notably the chiru , or Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsoni), while three species, the Mongolian gazelle, the Tibetan gazelle, and Przewalski’s gazelle, were placed in the genus Procapra for their caprine affinities .

Last of the Summer Wine Last of the Summer Wine is a British sitcom created and written by Roy Clarke and originally broadcast by the BBC. It premiered as an episode of Comedy Playhouse on 4 January 1973, and the first series of episodes followed on 12 November 1973. From 1983 to 2010, Alan J. W. Bell produced and directed all episodes of the show. The BBC confirmed on 2 June 2010 that Last of the Summer Wine would no longer be produced and the 31st series would be its last.[1] Subsequently, the final episode was broadcast on 29 August 2010.[2] Tom Owen criticised the BBC for not permitting a special final episode.[3] Roy Clarke, however, stated that he was fully aware this was the last series, and preferred the show to have a quiet ending.[4] The final line was said by Peter Sallis, the longest-serving actor.[5] Since its original release, all 295 episodes, comprising thirty-one series — including the pilot and all Specials — have been released on DVD.[6] Repeats of the show are broadcast in the UK on Gold, Yesterday, and Drama. It is also seen in more than twenty-five countries,[7] including various PBS stations in the United States and on VisionTV in Canada. Last of the Summer Wine is the longest-running comedy programme in Britain and the longest-running sitcom in the world.[8][9]
The Soft Parade is the fourth studio album by the American rock band the Doors , and was released on Elektra Records on July 19 , 1969 . Most of the album was recorded following a grueling tour during which the band was left with little time to compose new material . Record producer Paul A. Rothchild recommended a total departure from the Doors ' first three albums : develop a fuller sound by incorporating brass and string arrangements provided by Paul Harris . Lead singer Jim Morrison , who was dealing with personal issues and focusing more on his poetry , was less involved in the songwriting process , leaving guitarist Robby Krieger to increase his own creative output . As a result , The Soft Parade is a somewhat uneven album that is less unified compared to previous works by the Doors . The album peaked at number six on the Billboard 200 , but it failed to retain audiences in the UK and other European countries that Waiting for the Sun had previously succeeded in engaging . Three preceding singles , `` Touch Me '' , `` Wishful Sinful '' , and `` Tell All the People '' , were included on The Soft Parade , with the former becoming another Top 10 hit for the Doors . Another single , `` Runnin ' Blue '' , also followed the album 's distribution . Upon release , The Soft Parade was denounced by both music critics and the band 's underground music scene followers who viewed the album as the Doors ' trending into popular music . Over time , historians have reassessed the album and its critical standing has slightly improved , but it is still widely considered the group 's weakest effort with Morrison .

USB adapter From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (October 2012) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)FTDI US232R : USB to RS-232 cable FTDI TTL-232RG : USB to UART cable A USB adapter is a type of protocol converter which is used for converting USB data signals to and from other communications standards. Commonly, USB adaptors are used to convert USB data to standard serial port data and vice versa. Most commonly the USB data signals are converted to either RS232, RS485, RS422, or TTL -level UART serial data. The older serial RS423 protocol is rarely used any more, so USB to RS423 adapters are less common. Contents [ hide ]1 Uses2 History3 Architecture4 References Uses [ edit]USB to serial RS232 adapters are often used with consumer, commercial and industrial applications and USB to serial RS485/RS422 adapters are usually mainly used only with industrial applications. Currently, USB to TTL-level UART converters are used extensively by students and hobbyist as they can be directly interfaced to microcontroller. Adapters for converting USB to other standard or proprietary protocols also exist; however, these are usually not referred to as a serial adapter. The primary application scenario is to enable USB based computers to access and communicate with serial devices featuring D-Sub (usually DB9 or DB25) connectors or screw terminals, where security of the data transmission is not generally an issue. USB serial adapters can be isolated or non-isolated. The isolated version has opto-couplers and/or surge suppressors to prevent static electricity or other high-voltage surges to enter the data lines thereby preventing data loss and damage to the adapter and connected serial device. The non-isolated version has no protection against static electricity or voltage surges, which is why this version is usually recommended for only non-critical applications and at short communication ranges. History [ edit]Historically most personal computers had a built-in D-sub serial RS232 port, also referred to as a COM port, which could be used for connecting the computer to most types of serial RS232 devices. By the late 90’s many computer manufacturers started to phase out the serial COM port in favor of the USB port. By the mid 2000s some computers had both a serial COM port and a USB port, however many did no longer have a serial COM port by that time; and today most modern computers have no serial COM port but instead only USB ports instead. Since many serial devices with a RS232, RS485 or RS422 port are still in use and even still produced today, the disappearing of the serial COM port from personal computers has created a need for the USB to serial adapter. Architecture [ edit]Die of a PL2303HX USB to Serial Bridge Controller manufactured by Prolific Technology. As a simplified example a typical standard USB to serial adapter consists of a USB processor chip which processes the USB signals. The USB processor sends the processed USB signals to a serial driver chip which applies the correct voltages and sends the processed data signals to the serial output. [1] For the computer to be able to detect and process the data signals drivers must be installed on the computer. When the USB to serial adapter is connected to the computer via the USB port the drivers on the computer creates a virtual COM port which shows up in Device Manager. This virtual COM port can be accessed and used as if it was a built-in serial COM port. However, the characteristics of the virtual COM port are not exactly the same as a real internal COM port, mainly due to data latency; which means that if very sensitive and precise data transfer is required, the USB to serial adapter might be unreliable and not a desired solution. [2] Virtual COM drivers are usually available for Windows, Linux and MAC only. [3]References [ edit]^ "5 Steps for Selecting the Right USB to Serial adapter".

On 29 May 1842, Victoria was riding in a carriage along The Mall, London, when John Francis aimed a pistol at her but the gun did not fire; he escaped. The following day, Victoria drove the same route, though faster and with a greater escort, in a deliberate attempt to provoke Francis to take a second aim and catch him in the act. As expected, Francis shot at her, but he was seized by plain-clothes policemen, and convicted of high treason. On 3 July, two days after Francis's death sentence was commuted to transportation for life, John William Bean also tried to fire a pistol at the Queen, but it was loaded only with paper and tobacco and had too little charge. Edward Oxford felt that the attempts were encouraged by his acquittal in 1840. Bean was sentenced to 18 months in jail. In a similar attack in 1849, unemployed Irishman William Hamilton fired a powder-filled pistol at Victoria's carriage as it passed along Constitution Hill, London. In 1850, the Queen did sustain injury when she was assaulted by a possibly insane ex-army officer, Robert Pate. As Victoria was riding in a carriage, Pate struck her with his cane, crushing her bonnet and bruising her forehead. Both Hamilton and Pate were sentenced to seven years' transportation.

Orpheus in the Underworld Orpheus in the Underworld Orpheus in the Underworld (DVD) Orpheus in the Underworld (in French: 'Orphée aux enfers') is an operetta in two acts by Jacques Offenbach. The original French text was by Meilhac and Halévy, and the first production took place in Paris in 1858. It is famous for the good plot and the far more famous music. Outside classical circles, the Infernal Galop from Act II, Scene 2 is widely recognized as the music for the "Can-can". Synopsis Note: Orpheus in the Underworld exists in several forms: Offenbach originally wrote it in a two-act form, then expanded it to four acts with a great deal of filler material, ballets, and such like when it proved popular. The English translations are in a far more confusing state, as several add numbers from other operas, a major translation replaces Public Opinion with Orpheus' mother, and so on. This article lists only songs in the original two-act version (the four-act version is performed rarely and has the same plot), using the names given to them by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company's 1994 CD. An additional song included on that CD from the four-act version ("A skip, a hop") is ignored for consistency. Act I, Scene 1: Near Thebes We open with a melodrama (Introduction and Melodrame) in which Public Opinion explains who she is, setting herself up as the guardian of morality. She seeks to rework Orpheus and Eurydice - who hate each other - into a moral tale for the ages. However, she has her work cut out for her: Eurydice is in love with the shepherd, Aristaeus, who lives next door ("Ah when a woman's heart is yearning"), and Orpheus is in love with Chloë, a shepherdess. When Orpheus mistakes Eurydice for her, everything comes out, and Eurydice insists they break the marriage off ("So you confess?"). However Orpheus, fearing Public Opinion's reaction, torments her into keeping the scandal quiet using violin music, which she hates. We now meet Aristaeus (who is, in fact, Pluto) keeping up his disguise by singing a pastoral song about those awful sheep ("Hail! My name's Aristaeus"). Since Pluto was originally played by a famous female impersonator, this song contains numerous falsetto notes. Eurydice, however, has discovered what she thinks is a plot by Orpheus to kill Aristaeus, but is in fact a conspiracy between him and Pluto to kill her, so Pluto may have her. Pluto tricks her into walking into the trap by showing immunity to it, and, as she dies, transforms into his true form (Transformation Scene) Eurydice finds that death is not so bad when the God of Death is in love with you ("I thought that death would be more painful"), and so keeps coming back for one more verse. They descend into the Underworld as soon as Eurydice has left a note telling her husband she has been unavoidably detained (Descent to the Underworld). All seems to be going well for Orpheus until Public Opinion catches up with him, and threatens to ruin his violin teaching career unless he goes to rescue his wife. Orpheus reluctantly agrees ("Come, come, come"). Act I, Scene 2: Olympus The scene changes to Olympus, where the Gods sleep out of boredom ("We're fast asleep"). Things look a bit more interesting for them when Diana returns and begins gossiping about Actaeon , her current love ("When I go riding"). However, Jupiter , shocked at the behaviour of the supposedly virgin goddess, has turned Actaeon into a stag. Pluto then arrives, and reveals to the other gods the pleasures of Hell (Entrance of Pluto), leading them to revolt against horrid ambrosia, hideous nectar, and the sheer boredom of Olympus ("To arms, you gods and demi-gods"). Jupiter's demands to know what is going on lead them to point out his hypocrisy at great length, describing - and poking fun of - all his mythological affairs ("When you seduced the fair Alcmena"). However, little further progress can be made before news of Orpheus' arrival forces the gods to get onto their best behaviour (Finale, Act I). Pluto is worried he will be forced to give Eurydice back, and, after a quotation from Gluck's Orfeo
You can expect to pay approximately $10-$15 per cubic yard of concrete for re-bar. Labor costs will vary depending on the company you hire. Some companies have reusable concrete forms to build walls and this keeps their costs down.These companies typically charge about $3 to $5 per square foot of wall (disregard thickness of the wall).Other companies build concrete wall forms from scratch for each job and this drives cost slightly higher.n home construction, poured concrete walls are, normally, installed below grade. They are found in a basement, or in a split-level house that has a 3 to 4 foot high retaining wall, on top of which the rest of the house sits.
When John DeStefano, Jr., became mayor of New Haven in 1995, he outlined a plan to transform the city into a major cultural and arts center in the Northeast, which involved investments in programs and projects other than sports franchises. As nearby Bridgeport built new sports facilities, the brutalist New Haven Coliseum rapidly deteriorated. Believing the upkeep on the venue to be a drain of tax dollars, the DeStefano administration closed the Coliseum in 2002; it was demolished in 2007. New Haven's last professional sports team, the New Haven County Cutters, left in 2009. The DeStefano administration did, however, see the construction of the New Haven Athletic Center in 1998, a 94,000-square-foot (8,700 m2) indoor athletic facility with a seating capacity of over 3,000. The NHAC, built adjacent to Hillhouse High School, is used for New Haven public schools athletics, as well as large-scale area and state sporting events; it is the largest high school indoor sports complex in the state.
A dog’s sleeping position can reveal a lot about their health, personality, and how they are feeling. Just like a sleeping baby, there’s just something angelic about watching a dog sleep. Just as every parent knows, no matter how mischievous their child has been, once they fall asleep all is forgotten and they are reminded what angels they really are. Dog owners feel the same, their precious pup sleeping just brings on feelings of peace and melts away anxiety. But have you ever noticed the varying sleep positions a dog will lay in? Sometimes they are curled all up and others stretched way out for the world to see them. Turns out, these sleeping positions can have different meanings, and they are all quite interesting to get an inside look into what they may be feeling. 1) The Donut Don’t dogs just look so adorable all curled up like a donut sleeping? Well, it turns out the sleeping position can mean your precious pooch is trying to conserve body heat and protect the most vulnerable parts of its body. Out in the wild this is the most common sleeping position among animals because for them too it conserves warmth and protects their vital organ. Usually you will see a dog sleep this way in the winter – but it’s not anything to worry about. It’s just a cozy and comfortable way for them to sleep. 2) On Their Backs There could be two reasons a dog might sleep on their backs. First, it looks just too cute when they do, but it could mean they are feeling too hot so they get in this position to cool down. The belly of a dog has thinner fur and also their paws hold sweat glands. In this position it’s the best way to diminish some extra heat. Another reason a pooch might sleep this way is an indication he’s very comfortable with his surroundings. When dogs are willing to reveal their bellies, it’s a sign of submission and vulnerability. It shows they are relaxed in their surroundings and feels trust and comfort from you. 3) The Cuddle Bug The sweet reason a dog might sleep like a little cuddle bug goes back to when they were puppies. Sleeping back to back helped the newborns to regulate their body temperature. As the puppy matures it still is habit for them and is an instinctual way for them to show you in their minds you are part of their “pack” and they trust you. 4) The Superman It always brings a smile to see a dog sprawled out with its limbs stretched forward while laying on its stomach as if he were flying through the air like Superman. But have you ever noticed they only sleep like this during the day? This is because it’s the best position for a dog to quickly get on its feet and is willing to play at the drop of a hat. 5) Side Sleeping This one will melt your heart. The typical dog that sleeps on its side is doing so to show its affection and to share a close bond with their owners. It shows the pup has no worries in life and is relaxed and comfortable in its surroundings. 6) The Lion Pose Dogs will get into this position at times when they still have a considerable amount of energy and they don’t feel like sleeping. This way they can easily get up and play if the opportunity arises for them. It also is a position that will relieve the dog of stress and make them feel more comfortable. 7) Laying On Your Clothes Though it may not come all that appreciated especially if you have a high shedding dog, the sweet reason a dog does this is to show its love. Your clothing has your scent on it and your dog just wants to feel closer to you. 8) Circling And Digging We’ve all seen the dog circle and dig around as if trying to get their “bed” as comfortable as possible. This is an instinctual thing as dogs are knowb to trample down the grass to get their spot as comfortable as they possibly can. Next time your pooch goes to sleep, now you will know a little bit more of what’s going on in his mind. Check out the video below for more explanation into the fascinating reasons dogs choose a certain sleeping position. Please SHARE this with your friends and family.

The 2002 Winter Olympics, officially the XIX Olympic Winter Games and commonly known as Salt Lake 2002, were a winter multi-sport event that was celebrated from 8 to 24 February 2002 in and around Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. Approximately 2,400 athletes from 78 nations participated in 78 events in fifteen disciplines, held throughout 165 sporting sessions. The 2002 Winter Olympics and the 2002 Paralympic Games were both organized by the Salt Lake Organizing Committee (SLOC). Utah became the fifth state in the United States to host the Olympic Games, and the 2002 Winter Olympics are the most recent games to be held in the United States until the 2028 Summer Olympics will be hosted in Los Angeles in 2028. These were the first Olympic Games under the IOC presidency of Jacques Rogge.
The 5 biggest hair myths The 5 biggest hair myths By Jenny Bailly and Alessandra Foresto, Oprah.com Updated 7:45 AM ET, Fri January 13, 2012Frequent trims at the salon won't make your hair grow faster. Story highlights Cutting the ends of your hair doesn't affect the follicles in your scalp, which determines hair growth Rather than making it shiny, cold or hot water rinses don't alter hair No matter what, your scalp will always produce the same amount of oil Switching shampoos often? Shivering through a cold rinse? It's time to rethink your routines. Myth #1: Frequent trims make your hair grow faster. Cutting the ends of your hair doesn't affect the follicles in your scalp, which determine how fast and how much your hair grows, says Paradi Mirmirani, MD, assistant professor of dermatology at the University of California, San Francisco. Hair grows an average of a quarter-inch every month -- whether or not you cut it. Regular trims might make your hair look a little longer, though. Getting rid of split ends reduces hair breakage, and breakage is what makes hair look thinner at the ends (and shorter), says Matt Fugate, a hairstylist at Sally Hershberger Downtown in New York City. Every eight to 12 weeks, ask your stylist to take off the minimum necessary to eliminate split ends. Oprah.com: 8 Ways to Feel Beautiful from the Inside out Myth #2: If you always use the same shampoo, eventually it will stop working. You don't need to practice shampoo rotation to keep your hair clean. But if you've recently started coloring your hair or increased your use of hot tools, it might be a good idea to switch to a more moisturizing shampoo, says Mirmirani. Otherwise, stick with your favorite as long as you love it. Oprah.com: 10 Common Hairstyle Mistakes -- and How to Avoid Them Myth #3: A cold-water rinse makes your hair shinier. Hairstylists love to spread this gospel. Their rationale: The icy water will make the cuticle of your hair close so it's flat (and light-reflective), not ruffled (and dull-looking). Your hair, however, contains no living cells -- it doesn't react to cold (or hot) water, says chemist Mort Westman. Use conditioners and styling products that contain silicones and oils to smooth the cuticle. And limit damage to your hair from straightening treatments, hot tools, and frequent dyeing. Oprah.com: The Secret to a Flawless Face Myth #4.: For healthy hair, brush 100 strokes a day. You've probably heard that rigorous brushing will distribute the natural oils from your scalp to add shine to your hair. Or that it will stimulate blood flow to your scalp and boost hair growth. Neither is true. In fact, brushing causes friction on hair, leading to cuticle damage and breakage, which makes hair lusterless and frizzy, says Mirmirani. Brush your hair minimally (only to detangle or style), and use the right tools -- a wide-toothed comb or a paddle brush with ball-tipped, plastic bristles. Avoid boar-bristle brushes -- natural bristles aren't uniform, so they're especially harsh on your hair and scalp. Oprah.com: 13 Surprising Statistics About Plastic Surgery Myth#5. : If you shampoo less often, your scalp will gradually produce less oil. No matter how frequently you shampoo, your scalp produces the same amount of oil, says Jeffrey Benabio, MD, a dermatologist at Kaiser Permanente in San Diego. Cutting back on shampooing will have no effect on your sebaceous glands; genetics and hormones determine the amount of oil they produce. But it will cause dirt and oil to accumulate on your scalp and hair follicles, and could cause inflammation and irritation that might stunt hair growth. All experts agree: How often you wash your hair is a personal decision. Use your judgment. Wash your hair with a moisturizing shampoo when you feel you need it, whether that's daily or weekly. Oprah.com: The 5 Best New Hairstyling Products -- and Their Humble Origins This one, unfortunately, is true: Men prefer longer hair. According to studies, men are generally more attracted to women whose hair flows past their shoulders. In one study, women's images were digitally altered to give them short, long, and medium-length hair. Men rated the same faces as more attractive when they were attached to more hair. In another study, long and medium-length hair improved male raters' evaluation of female subjects' health. Well, call us crazy, but we say the hell with that. Because one quick glance at Audrey, Halle, Tilda, or this model (at left) tells us that the cropped look can be sexy, seductive, and wildly glam.

Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is a cellulose derivative, an ionic cellulose gum, and owing to its unique thickening, suspending, adhesion, and water retention properties, is widely used in various industrial fields.odium carboxymethyl cellulose is generally divided into 3 grades depending on the purity: the food high-purity grade (with a content more than 99.5%), the industrial grade (with a content more than 90%), and crude products (with a content more than 65%).
Is 1 GB equal to 1024 MB or 1000 MB? Quora User Updated May 20, 2017Let us start with the basics. I’ll try to make it as simple as I can. Computers understand only one language - Binary ( 0 and 1 ). As such they store information in that form as well. Here 0 and 1 are bits of information. Let us suppose that a computer has a container with a capacity of 8 bits to store one character. Let that character be ‘A’. Now according to ASCII Table , character A will be represented by the decimal value of 65. The representation was arrived at, so that the information can be converted to binary form, that the computer understands. Now 65, after conversion to binary , can be represented as 01000001 in 8 bits. This is stored in the container in the computer memory. So, now we have seen how a single character is stored in the computer memory. But with the passage of time, we needed to store a lot more than a single character in the computer. As such we came up with a system, over time, to mark the humongous increase in storage space, with certain milestones. Thus, the container came to be known as a byte ( bits). Hence 1 Byte (B) = 8 bits (b). To aid in hexadecimal representation, half a byte ( bits) came to be known as a nibble. But the computer scientists made a simple oversight ( as it would cause confusion everywhere and cause the OP to ask this question) and borrowed naming conventions from the metric system. A kilobyte should actually be 1000 bytes as per the metric system as kilo implies . However, 1000 in binary is represented as 1111101000, which is not very convenient. Hence, they decided to use the power of 2 closest to 1000, which is 1024 ( ), as the significant error was less . Thus 1 kilobyte (1 KB) meant 1024 bytes (1024 B). By extension:1 megabyte (MB) = 1024 kilobytes (KB) instead of 1000 kilobytes.1 gigabyte (GB) = 1024 megabytes (MB) instead of 1000 megabytes.and so on ….. Hardware manufacturers, however stuck to the standard decimal meanings of the prefixes. As such the error increased manifold over time. For instance ,according to hardware manufacturers,1 GB = 1000 MB = (1000 x 1000) KB = (1000 x 1000 x 1000) = 1000000000 Bytes But in reality1 GB = 1024 MB = (1024 x 1024) KB = (1024 x 1024 x 1024) = 1073741824 Bytes. See the difference ? This even resulted in litigation against hard drive manufacturers, who reported drive capacities in standard decimal multiples of bytes, while some operating systems reported the size using the larger binary interpretation of traditional prefixes. Moreover there was a confusion whether ‘b’ in Mb or Kb represented bits or bytes. Hence in 2002, IEEE cam up with the IEEE 1541-2002 standard concerning the use of prefixes for binary multiples of units of measurement related to digital electronics and computing. But the standard has not caught on yet, even though it was reaffirmed as a standard in 2008. To answer your question,1 GB = 1000 MB ( as it is still used by hardware manufacturers). However, as per the new (relatively : D) standard,1 Gi B = 1024 Mi BHope this helps :)P. S : To my dear fellow Indians who are looking for a high speed internet connection, those of you who don’t know already, 10 Mbps is 10 Megabits per second and not 10 Megabytes per second (MBps) . And thus 10 Mbps = 1.25 MBps.

The Croatian Latin alphabet (Gajica) followed suit shortly afterwards, when Ljudevit Gaj defined it as standard Latin with five extra letters that had diacritics, apparently borrowing much from Czech, but also from Polish, and inventing the unique digraphs "lj", "nj" and "dž". These digraphs are represented as "ļ, ń and ǵ" respectively in the "Rječnik hrvatskog ili srpskog jezika", published by the former Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts in Zagreb. The latter digraphs, however, are unused in the literary standard of the language. All in all, this makes Serbo-Croatian the only Slavic language to officially use both the Latin and Cyrillic scripts, albeit the Latin version is more commonly used.

The seven-year itch The phrase was first used to describe an inclination to become unfaithful after seven years of marriage in the play The Seven Year Itch by George Axelrod, and gained popularity following the 1955 film adaptation starring Marilyn Monroe and Tom Ewell. In his 1913 novel The Eighth Year, Philip Gibbs attributes the concept to the British judge Sir Francis Jeune.
Five famous finals \| Super League 2017 \| Rugby League Live Scores, Fixtures & Results \| Sporting Life Rugby league results 1946: Wakefield 13 Wigan 12. Despite being without four of their stars who were on their way to Australia for the "indomitables" tour, Wigan thought they had won the first final since the end of the Second World War when they led 12-11 with 90 seconds to go. However, a penalty from near the touchline by Wakefield's Billy Stott settled one of the great cliff-hangers and helped make him the first winner of the Lance Todd Trophy as man of the match. Brian Nordgren still had a chance to win it for Wigan but he failed with a penalty from inside his own half - his seventh unsuccessful kick at goal. 1954 - Warrington 8 Halifax 4 (replay). In perhaps the most famous Challenge Cup tie of all, Warrington beat Halifax in the 1954 final replay but the game is not remembered for the rugby but for the world record crowd of 102,569 that squeezed into Odsal Stadium. Although since officially overtaken by a crowd of 107,000 at Stadium Australia for the 1999 NRL Grand Final, Odsal's attendance is arguably still the largest for a rugby league match with most people who attended reckoning around 120,000 were actually present after thousands got in through a broken fence without paying. The final is still the only one without a try after the original game at Wembley had ended in a 4-4 draw. 1968 - Leeds 11 Wakefield 10. The famous "watersplash" final, in which Don Fox missed a last-minute conversion which would have given Wakefield the Cup. Fox had already been named Lance Todd Trophy winner as man of the match when he fluffed the goal from in front of the posts in atrocious conditions. Fox sank to his knees and cut a sad, disconsolate figure on the Wembley turf. "Poor lad," said BBC commentator Eddie Waring while David Coleman's post-match interview remains one of the most painful to watch in British sporting history. 1996 - St Helens 40 Bradford 32. The first Wembley showdown of the Super League era produced a classic, with St Helens coming from 26-12 down to take the spoils with the biggest comeback in Cup final history. Bradford's New Zealand-born captain Robbie Paul made history with the first hat-trick of tries in a Wembley final and became only the seventh player from a losing team to win the Lance Todd Trophy as man of the match. The match also stands as the the highest-scoring Cup final in history, while Bradford's 32 points set a new record for most points scored by a losing team. 1998 - Sheffield 17 Wigan 8. The biggest Cup final upset of all time as mighty Wigan were humbled by a club with little history and few fans. Wigan were back at Wembley for the first time since their record eight-year run ended in 1995 and they were expected to pick up from where they left off. But the unfancied Eagles had other ideas, with scrum-half Mark Aston masterminding a famous victory to lift the Lance Todd Trophy.
Until 2005, the United Nations General Assembly annually adopted a detailed resolution about the situation in Myanmar by consensus. But in 2006 a divided United Nations General Assembly voted through a resolution that strongly called upon the government of Myanmar to end its systematic violations of human rights. In January 2007, Russia and China vetoed a draft resolution before the United Nations Security Council calling on the government of Myanmar to respect human rights and begin a democratic transition. South Africa also voted against the resolution.
Z11 "Bernd von Arnim" was a Type 1934A-class destroyer built for Nazi Germany's "Kriegsmarine" in the late 1930s. At the beginning of World War II, the ship was initially deployed to blockade the Polish coast, but she was quickly transferred to the German Bight to lay minefields in German waters. In late 1939 the ship made one successful minelaying sortie off the English coast that claimed one British warship and seven merchant ships. During the early stages of the Norwegian Campaign, "Bernd von Arnim" fought the British destroyer "Glowworm" while transporting troops to the Narvik area in early April 1940, but neither ship was damaged during the action. The ship fought in both naval Battles of Narvik several days later and had to be scuttled after she exhausted her ammunition.

Following the war, some of these military airfields added civil facilities for handling passenger traffic. One of the earliest such fields was Paris – Le Bourget Airport at Le Bourget, near Paris. The first airport to operate scheduled international commercial services was Hounslow Heath Aerodrome in August 1919, but it was closed and supplanted by Croydon Airport in March 1920. In 1922, the first permanent airport and commercial terminal solely for commercial aviation was opened at Flughafen Devau near what was then Königsberg, East Prussia. The airports of this era used a paved "apron", which permitted night flying as well as landing heavier aircraft.

The Montreal Canadiens ice hockey club , formally Le Club de Hockey Canadien , was founded on December 4 , 1909 . The Canadiens are the oldest professional hockey franchise in the world . Created as a founding member of the National Hockey Association -LRB- NHA -RRB- with the aim of appealing to Montreal 's francophone population , the Canadiens played their first game on January 5 , 1910 , and captured their first Stanley Cup in 1916 . The team left the NHA and helped found the National Hockey League -LRB- NHL -RRB- in 1917 . They returned to the Stanley Cup finals in 1919 , but their series against the Seattle Metropolitans was canceled without a winner due to the Spanish flu pandemic that killed defenceman Joe Hall . The Canadiens have won the Stanley Cup 24 times : once while part of the National Hockey Association -LRB- NHA -RRB- , and 23 times as members of the NHL . With 25 NHL titles overall , they are the most successful team in league history . The Canadiens ' home rink , the Montreal Arena , was destroyed by fire in January 1918 . The team moved into the Jubilee Arena , which subsequently burned down in 1919 . After spending seven seasons in the Mount Royal Arena , the Canadiens moved into the Montreal Forum in 1926 , sharing it with the rival Montreal Maroons until 1938 . After 72 years in the Forum , they moved to the Bell Centre in 1996 . The club struggled during the Great Depression , nearly relocating to Cleveland , Ohio , in 1935 and contemplated suspending operations in 1939 . Their fortunes rebounded following World War II as they reached the Stanley Cup finals each year from 1951 to 1960 , winning six championships , including a record five consecutive titles from 1956 to 1960 . Maurice `` Rocket '' Richard emerged as the team 's star in the 1940s , and during the 1944 -- 45 season became the first player in NHL history to score 50 goals in a single season . Richard sparked the Richard Riot in March 1955 when he was suspended for attacking a linesman . The incident highlighted growing tensions between French Quebec and English Canada , and is regarded as one of the first manifestations of Quebec 's Quiet Revolution . In 1959 , Jacques Plante revolutionized the game when he became the first goaltender to consistently wear a mask during play . Under general manager Sam Pollock , the Canadiens won nine championships between 1964 and 1978 . The 1976 -- 77 team , often regarded as the greatest in NHL history , won 60 games while losing only 8 , a record for fewest losses in an 80-game season . With the entry of the World Hockey Association 's Quebec Nordiques to the NHL in 1979 , a rivalry grew between the Canadiens and the Nordiques , peaking in 1984 when the Canadiens eliminated the Nordiques in six games , but not before the Good Friday Massacre made headlines . Led by goaltender Patrick Roy , the Canadiens won their 23rd Stanley Cup in 1986 and their 24th in 1993 . Roy won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoffs ' most valuable player both times . The 1993 team set an NHL record with 10 consecutive overtime victories in one playoff year and is the most recent Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup . In 2003 , Montreal participated in the first regular season outdoor game in NHL history , defeating the Edmonton Oilers in the Heritage Classic . The Hockey Hall of Fame has inducted over 50 former Canadiens players , as well as ten executives . The team has retired 15 numbers , representing 17 players , and has honoured ten off-ice personnel in its Builder 's Row .

It is the last album to feature the guitarist Robert `` Thrub '' Young , who departed before the UK album tour due to a personal life reason ; he later died in September 2014 .

Rawski writes that Altan Khan's conversion to the Gelug "can be interpreted as an attempt to expand his authority in his conflict with his nominal superior, Tümen Khan." To further cement the Mongol-Tibetan alliance, the great-grandson of Altan Khan—the 4th Dalai Lama (1589–1616)—was made the fourth Dalai Lama. In 1642, the 5th Dalai Lama (1617–1682) became the first to wield effective political control over Tibet.
This article is a list of the teams that have participated in the Major League Baseball -LRB- MLB -RRB- postseason , the elimination tournament conducted after the regular season by which Major League Baseball determines its World Series champion for a given year . Major League Baseball 's postseason format has evolved throughout its history , with the number of participating teams increasing from two -LRB- for its first six-plus decades -RRB- to the current 10 . The World Series was first played in 1903 , when the champions of the established National League -LRB- NL -RRB- and the upstart American League -LRB- AL -RRB- met for a playoff series . From that time through 1968 , the two leagues -LRB- which each had eight teams through 1960 -RRB- each sent only its team with the best regular-season record to the World Series . In 1969 , as each league had expanded to 12 teams , each league was divided into East and West divisions and another playoff round was created . This round became known as the League Championship Series -LRB- LCS -RRB- , with the four division champions competing for a spot in the World Series every year . This format lasted until 1993 . In 1995 , the again-expanded leagues were re-organized into three separate divisions , and another playoff round was established , called the Division Series -LRB- DS -RRB- . In this format , for each league , the champions of the East , Central , and West divisions would be joined in the playoffs by a Wild Card team . The addition of the Wild Card allowed a team that was not a division winner but still had one of the top regular-season records to enter the playoffs as the number 4 seed . In 2012 , the structure was adjusted such that two teams from each league receive Wild Card berths and then play a single game against each other to determine who advances to the Division Series . This is the current playoff format in Major League Baseball . Three anomalies in the above-described system occurred . In 1904 , the World Series did not take place because the National League champion did not wish to participate and the leagues had not yet agreed to require their champions to do so . In 1981 , there was a Division Series due to a split season brought about by a midsummer player 's strike . And in 1994 , the postseason did not take place due to a player 's strike .

Radio America is a rock group based in New York City , currently signed to Mother West records by Charles Newman -LRB- member of Flare and producer/engineer of the Magnetic Fields , `` Lemony Snicket , '' We Are Scientists , Kris Gruen , Lori Michaels , the Bowmans , Earlymay , etc. -RRB- In stark contrast to the radio network of the same name , Radio America are known not only for their award-winning live act but also for their openly leftist politics . After years as a three-piece -LRB- bass/drums/guitar with all members contributing vocals -RRB- , the group currently performs as a four-piece act led by singer-songwriters Jesse Reno -LRB- vocals/bass -RRB- and Tom Stuart -LRB- vocals/guitar -RRB- . The band 's most recent release , the album Raise High , was released in September , 2006 . The band is also well known for being fairly secretive and notoriously eccentric . Contrary to some published interviews and general rumor , Reno and Stuart are not brothers , but rather lifelong friends . However , the two have never publicly refuted the assumption for reasons unstated . Likewise , original drummer Jason Aubin is said to have left at some point during the completion of the Raise High recording sessions , though he is credited as a band member in the artwork for the CD . The band has never completely explained the timing or reason for his departure , though Reno did preposterously claim to Pulse Magazine -LRB- in Worcester , MA -RRB- that the drummer had left because he quote `` found Jesus . '' In equally mysterious terms , there is no production credit on the album , simply crediting a one `` Tintern '' in Worcester , MA for having `` recorded '' the group . Other extent semi-mysteries which surround the group include : the lyric jumble on the inside of the Raise High album sleeve ; their supposedly existent English manager ` Magnus Thompson ; ' the group 's supposed right-hand man and ` street-team ' guru ` Ira Leonis ; ' the group 's online politic/poetic/music journals and discussion page which the group refers to as the `` Do n't Tread On Manuals '' some of the content of which the band may or may not have received in the form of handwritten notes from friends of the late political radical and fellow Worcester native son Abbie Hoffman ; the group 's repetitive use of the cryptic -LRB- and frankly , dubious -RRB- terms `` VainGlory , '' `` RadioAmerican , '' and `` W.W.H.D. '' -LRB- the last of which is said by some to represent `` What Would Hitler Do '' - possibly a jab at Jason Aubin -RRB- . The band claims that in fact , WWHD is an homage to one of their heroes , the great American writer , Ernest Hemingway . Radio America is a member of ASCAP .

The Beatles The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. With members John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, they became widely regarded as the foremost and most influential act of the rock era.[1] Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock and roll, the Beatles later experimented with several musical styles, ranging from pop ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock, often incorporating classical elements and unconventional recording techniques in innovative ways. In 1963 their enormous popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania", and as the group's music grew in sophistication in subsequent years, led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney, they came to be perceived as an embodiment of the ideals shared by the counterculture of the 1960s.

List of Test cricket hat-tricks A player has taken two hat-tricks in the same Test match only once. Playing for Australia against South Africa in the first match of the 1912 Triangular Tournament at Old Trafford, Manchester, England, leg spinner Jimmy Matthews took a hat-trick in South Africa's first and second innings, both taken on 28 May 1912. He completed both hat-tricks by dismissing South Africa's Tommy Ward.[4] Only three other cricketers have taken more than one Test hat-trick: Australian off spinner Hugh Trumble (two years apart, between the same teams at the same ground), Pakistani fast bowler Wasim Akram (just over a week apart, in consecutive matches between the same teams) and English fast bowler Stuart Broad. Three players have taken a hat-trick on their Test debut: English medium pace bowler Maurice Allom in 1930, New Zealand off-spinner Peter Petherick in 1976, and Australian pace bowler Damien Fleming in 1994.[3] Geoff Griffin took the fewest total Test wickets of any player who recorded a hat-trick, taking only eight wickets in his entire Test career.[3] During the match in which he took his hat-trick, Griffin was repeatedly called for throwing by the umpires and never bowled again in a Test match.[5] Australian Peter Siddle is the only bowler to take a hat-trick on his birthday,[6] and Bangladeshi off spinner Sohag Gazi is the only player to score a century and take a hat-trick in the same Test match.[7]

History of mobile phones Prior to 1973, mobile telephony was limited to phones installed in cars and other vehicles.[19] Motorola was the first company to produce a handheld mobile phone. On April 3, 1973, Martin Cooper, a Motorola researcher and executive, made the first mobile telephone call from handheld subscriber equipment, placing a call to Dr. Joel S. Engel of Bell Labs, his rival.[25][26][27] The prototype handheld phone used by Dr. Cooper weighed 1.1 kilograms (2.4 lb) and measured 23 by 13 by 4.5 centimetres (9.1 by 5.1 by 1.8 in). The prototype offered a talk time of just 30 minutes and took 10 hours to re-charge.[28]

While some commentators have called for the relocation of Tuvalu's population to Australia, New Zealand or Kioa in Fiji, in 2006 Maatia Toafa (Prime Minister from 2004–2006) said his government did not regard rising sea levels as such a threat that the entire population would need to be evacuated. In 2013 Enele Sopoaga, the prime minister of Tuvalu, said that relocating Tuvaluans to avoid the impact of sea level rise "should never be an option because it is self defeating in itself. For Tuvalu I think we really need to mobilise public opinion in the Pacific as well as in the [rest of] world to really talk to their lawmakers to please have some sort of moral obligation and things like that to do the right thing."

The company was formed in the mid 1930s . In 1949 they were taken over by King 's Motors of Oxford , but the Tomlinson name was retained . They made a battery-electric railway locomotive in 1958 , and hoped to diversify into this market , but were the subject of a hostile takeover by an asset-stripping company in 1961 , after which vehicle production ceased .
iPods have been criticized for alleged short life-span and fragile hard drives. A 2005 survey conducted on the MacInTouch website found that the iPod line had an average failure rate of 13.7% (although they note that comments from respondents indicate that "the true iPod failure rate may be lower than it appears"). It concluded that some models were more durable than others. In particular, failure rates for iPods employing hard drives was usually above 20% while those with flash memory had a failure rate below 10%. In late 2005, many users complained that the surface of the first generation iPod Nano can become scratched easily, rendering the screen unusable. A class action lawsuit was also filed. Apple initially considered the issue a minor defect, but later began shipping these iPods with protective sleeves.[citation needed]
Wichita Northeast Magnet High School, known locally as Northeast, is a magnet high school for the Wichita School District and is located in Bel Aire, Kansas, United States. Wichita Northeast Magnet High School was the first magnet high school in Kansas. The magnet areas at Northeast include visual arts, science, and law. Students are also exposed to mathematics and language arts. Since it is a magnet school, there is no district boundary placed by the school district, meaning any high school age student within the Wichita city limits, can attend the school without requiring a special transfer, they still, however, are required to apply for the school, then students are selected at random to attend.

James Cameron's Titanic Characters Played By: Leonardo DeCaprio Fact/Fiction: Fiction! The male lead character in Titanic , Jack Dawson, was NOT an actual person, and Cameron creates the scenario of him (and his friend Fabrizio) winning their tickets in a "lucky hand of poker", to explain away the fact that neither of their names appear on the passenger list, quite imaginative! Character: Rose DeWitt Bukater Played By: Kate Winslet Fact/Fiction: Fiction! Titanic's female lead character, Rose Dewitt Bukater, is again NOT an actual person, however, Rose, together with the rest of the Hockley entourage, are representative of a typicaly wealthy family of the era. I can see why Cal and Jack were fighting over her, there's not many seventeen-year old girls will lie there naked while you draw them! Character: Cal Hockley Played By: Billy Zane Fact/Fiction: Fiction! Super control freak Cal Hockley was another work of fiction, and a nasty one at that! He was heir to his father's steel company, which was quite ironic, since Jack would 'steal' Rose from him during the journey! Geddit!? Poor Cal was quite upset by the time he got to New York, he'd lost his girl and his diamond, both replaceable I suppose, but worst of all, he had lost his 'man', Spicer Lovejoy, in the sinking! Character: Ruth DeWitt Bukater Played By: Frances Fisher Fact/Fiction: Fiction! Ruth DeWitt Bukater, yet another fictional character, may have had a rather fancy name, but all of the family's millions had been whittled away to next to nothing, so it was Ruth's job to ensure that only an heir to a fortune could get their hands on a jewel like Rose! She failed miserably, I wonder what happened to her? Character: Fabrizio DeRossi Played By: Danny Nucci Fact/Fiction: Fiction! Jack Dawson's best mate, Fabrizio, was another fictional character, however, if he had of been someone from history, they might have spent a bit more time on teaching him how to sound like an Italian! Character: Margaret Brown Played By: Kathy Bates Fact/Fiction: Fact! Margaret "Molly" Brown was a REAL person, she did exist, and most of what you hear about her in the movie is correct. However, any interaction with any of the fictional characters, like the meeting on the boat deck with Jack and Rose, should be dismissed. A plain-talking, down to earth woman, she probably taught Jack to spit! Played By: Bill Paxton Fact/Fiction: Fiction! Another fictional character, the treasure-seeking Brock Lovett, who thinks he's hit the jackpot when Rose's daughter Lizzie steps out of the helicopter onto the deck of the Keldysh! In an outrageous attempt to seduce Lizzie, he tells her, "I never let it in before". Well, she didn't fall for that one Mr. Lovett, even given your surname. Played By: Jonathan Hyde Fact/Fiction: Fact. Joseph Bruce Ismay was a REAL person, he was Chairman of the White Star Line , the company who owned Titanic , but despite his position, Cameron belittled him in some scenes, especially with Rose's 'Freud joke' at dinner! He did board a lifeboat as seen in the movie, and his actions would haunt him for the rest of his life.

Johnson was the editor of The Spectator magazine from 1999, succeeding the similarly named but no relation Frank Johnson, up until 2005 when he left to join the shadow cabinet under David Cameron. Since then, however, his political career has really taken off, and unless you truly understand the British mindset it is hard to see why. Boris comes across as a bit of a fool, given to the usage of obsolete, flowery and incredibly upper class language whenever possible. Don’t forget it was him who proudly reminded us all that table tennis was invented by upper class British Army officers, and used to be called ‘Whiff-whaff’. He was embroiled in sex scandals, pictured wobbling across London on a bike more than a few times, has offended towns across the length and breadth of the country through insensitive comments, and yet for some reason we still love him. He wiffles about, all unkempt, unruly blond hair and odd manners, stammering and stuttering as he gets across a strange combination of classical references and upper class nonsense words. He made unforgettable appearances on Have I Got News For You, confusing, bemusing and seemingly entrancing everyone. He is loved in London because he is different. No-one can quite believe that he has been given a position of authority, but it is undeniably amusing. He has carefully cultivated an image that brings him sympathy and humour votes – we love Boris because he may be an odd fellow, but he’s our odd fellow. NB What do you want to do?

Sayajirao (1944–1965) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse. A full brother to 1945 Epsom Derby winner, Dante, he was out of the mare Rosy Legend and sired by the great Nearco who is described by "Thoroughbred Heritage" as "one of the greatest racehorses of the Twentieth Century" and "one of the most important sires of the century." Nearco was not only unbeaten in racing, but also the patriarch of the most dominant sire line in Thoroughbred history.
How Many Carbs Should You Eat Per Day to Lose Weight? How Many Carbs Should You Eat Per Day to Lose Weight? By Holly Klamer, RD 3 Comments Researched Based Article Low carbohydrate diets are common for weight loss, but how many carbs can you eat and still lose weight? The Institute of Medicine suggests a minimum requirement of 130 grams of carbohydrates per day. This amount per day is needed for the brain because the central nervous system (CNS) uses only carbohydrates for fuel. When carbohydrate intake is under 130 grams per day, carbohydrate is “made” from proteins and fat in the body to send to the CNS for fuel. Some low carbohydrate diets, like the South Beach or Atkins diet, go under the 130 grams per day requirement. Usually it is just for a certain time, and carbohydrate levels usually go back up to around 130 grams per day. See also: Can you lose weight faster with carb cycling? Some people may have side effects fewer than 130 grams of carbohydrate intake like headache, low energy and feeling tired. Do you have to go under 130 grams of carbs per day for weight loss? No. Some low carbohydrate diets are still above 130 grams per day, as there is no clear definition of low carbohydrate diet. Remember, low carbohydrate does not always equal healthy. How much carbohydrate do you get in a day? Another way to measure carbohydrate intake is by percentage of calories. The Institute of Medicine suggests Americans get 45-65% of calories coming from carbohydrate. American adults on average consume around 52% of calories from carbohydrate. This translates to about 260 grams of carbohydrates per day for someone eating 2,000 calorie diet: double the minimum carbohydrate requirement. At this average level, you could technically cut out up to half the carbohydrates and still be at the minimum requirement. However, instead of focusing on a specific gram number of carbohydrates for weight loss, quality may be more than or just as important as quantity. Quality vs. Quantity Carbohydrates are not created the same . Some carbohydrate sources, like fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains, are full of fiber, antioxidants and phytochemicals that are beneficial for health. Carbohydrates like candy, sweetened drinks, baked goods, etc. do not offer much nutritional benefit besides empty calories. Cutting out the carbohydrates like sweetened beverages, baked goods and refined carbohydrates may help weight loss efforts more than cutting out fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains. These more complex carbohydrates have fiber which can also help with weight loss. The Institute of Medicine suggests females 31-50 years old get 25 grams of fiber per day. Cutting out carbohydrate sources like fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes may make it almost impossible to meet this guideline. Instead of focusing on cutting all carbohydrates, cutting extra sugar may have significant health benefits as well as helping weight loss. Cutting back on sugar can help stabilize blood insulin and glucose levels, lower triglycerides and cut out empty calories. High sugar foods can drastically increase blood sugar and insulin levels which promotes fat storage. Track your food intake for a few days. Do you drink sweetened beverages? Do you eat occasional sweets? Looking at your food and drink intake instead of trying to remember it can help pinpoint areas to target. Watch out for other names for sugar on food labels such as: Glucose Syrup Fructose or high fructose corn syrup Dextrose Long term Results Yes cutting out carbohydrates can help you lose weight fast; some would argue because it is reducing calorie intake. However, what about long term weight loss? Is low carbohydrate the way to go? Short term weight loss studies show weight loss for low carbohydrate diets and diets higher in carbohydrates, but what about long term weight loss? A 2009 study from The New England Journal of Medicine looked at 4 different diets- all with varying carbohydrate, protein and fat levels and tracked the weight loss results of over 800 participants in these four groups. Researchers looked at weight loss after 6 months, 1 year and 2 years. Their results showed that weight loss was not significantly different between groups after 2 years. In other words, people were able to lose weight on all types of diets, including low carbohydrate. What should you do? In general, getting at least 130 grams of carbohydrates per day up to 45-65% of your daily calories from carbohydrates is the current guideline for safe, long term carbohydrate intake. Instead of focusing on a specific gram number to stay under, focus on cutting extra sugar out of your diet. Keep foods in your diet like vegetables, fruits, legumes and whole grains. To further keep your blood sugar regulated, eat high fiber carbohydrate foods at meal times with a source of protein and healthy fats. Eating mixed meals can help slow the absorption of natural carbohydrates. Some health conditions, like diabetes or extreme obesity, may warrant a lower than recommended carbohydrate level.

. Kids Health / For Parents / Urine Test: Microalbumin-to-Creatinine Ratio What's in this article? Listenen español Análisis de orina: cociente de microalbúmina-creatinina What It Is A microalbumin-to-creatinine ratio urine test involves measuring the amount of a protein called albumin in the urine (pee). The amount of urine albumin is compared with the quantity of a waste product in the urine called creatinine. The body normally filters out creatinine in the urine at a steady rate, so comparing the ratio of urine albumin with creatinine in the same urine specimen helps determine if the body is excreting albumin at an increased rate. If this is happening, it may be the result of kidney disease. In most healthy people, the kidneys prevent albumin and other proteins from entering the urine. However, if kidneys are damaged and start to allow proteins to pass from the blood into the urine, the first type of protein to appear in the urine is albumin. This is because albumin molecules are smaller than most other protein molecules. The consistent presence of small amounts of albumin in the urine is called microalbuminuria and is associated with early-stage kidney disease. Once there are larger amounts of albumin in the urine it is called macroalbuminuria and it could indicate more severe kidney disease. Why It's Done The microalbumin-to-creatinine ratio test is most commonly used to screen for kidney problems in teens with diabetes. It also might be done on a more regular basis, like once a year, in teens with diabetes to help in early identification of kidney disease. It also can be used to monitor kidney function in kids and teens already diagnosed with kidney disease or taking medications that can affect the kidneys. The test can also help detect kidney complications from hypertension and autoimmune diseases. Preparation Your child might need to temporarily stop taking specific drugs that could interfere with test results. Be sure to review all your child's medications with your doctor. The Procedure Your child will be asked to urinate (pee) into a clean sample cup in the doctor's office or at home. Collecting the specimen should only take a few minutes. If your child isn't potty trained and can't urinate into a cup, a catheter (a narrow, soft tube) may need to be inserted into the bladder to obtain the urine specimen. A urine collection bag with adhesive tape on one end might instead be used to collect a sample from an infant. If you're doing the collection at home, you'll clean your baby's genital area and then attach the bag around the urinary opening. Once the bag is in place, you'll secure it with the attached tape. You can put a diaper on your baby once you've attached the bag. Remove the collection bag after your baby has urinated into it, usually within an hour. Deliver this specimen to your lab. Sometimes, a doctor will want to test urine collected over a period of time ranging from 4 to 24 hours. After each urination, you or your child will pour the specimen from the sample cup into a larger container. Be careful not to touch the inside of the container. During the testing period, all the urine should be collected, even if it is just a small amount. For specimens collected at home, follow any storage and transportation instructions the lab gives you. At the lab, the technician will determine the quantity of albumin in the urine and compare it with the amount of creatinine in the urine. What to Expect Because the test involves normal urination, there shouldn't be any discomfort as long as your child can provide a urine specimen. It's important to keep the area around the urinary opening clean before the test. Getting the Results The results of the microalbumin-to-creatinine test will be available in 1-3 days. It's important to know that children sometimes pass albumin in their urine even though they have no kidney damage. If the test shows abnormal results, further tests will be ordered to determine if there's an illness and, if so, help diagnose it. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of the specific test results. Risks Collecting a urine sample for the urine microalbumin-to-creatinine ratio test is usually painless and without risk. Infants may occasionally experience skin irritation from the adhesive tape on the collection bag. If a catheterized specimen is required it may cause temporary discomfort. You can discuss any questions you have about this procedure with your doctor. Helping Your Child Explaining in simple terms how the test will be conducted and why it's being done, can help ease any fear. Make sure your child understands that there should be no foreign matter, such as toilet paper or hair, in the sample. And all the urine should be collected during the designated period for the test to be accurate. If You Have Questions If you have questions about the microalbumin-to-creatinine ratio test, speak with your doctor. Reviewed by: Yamini Durani, MDDate reviewed: March 2015
In the beginning of 1996, several human rights groups brought cases to hold Shell accountable for alleged human rights violations in Nigeria, including summary execution, crimes against humanity, torture, inhumane treatment and arbitrary arrest and detention. In particular, Shell stood accused of collaborating in the execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other leaders of the Ogoni tribe of southern Nigeria, who were hanged in 1995 by Nigeria's then military rulers. The lawsuits were brought against Royal Dutch Shell and Brian Anderson, the head of its Nigerian operation. In 2009, Shell agreed to pay $15.5m in a legal settlement. Shell has not accepted any liability over the allegations against it.

I have been incubating them in a little giant still air and have had bad luck. Most of the eggs are fertile (out of 24 eggs maybe 1 wasn't fertile) they make it until the week on incubation when I candle them and put them over into my hatching incubator. They are moving and developing in the shell and maybe 30-50% actually hatch. There are partial pips, dead in shells, and only 3 have managed to fully hatch. I don't think the moisture is the problem it is consistently 80% in the hatching incubator. I am trying this batch currently at the 22 days recommended incubation time for goldens. The first time I hatched them with some chicken eggs. (I had better luck with the chickens) We had some probs too with the hatching incubator surging temps the first time and I've since replaced it. I've now invested in a circulated air hovabator because the other ones are crappy. Anyway I am 2 days now past the hatching date (22 days) and there is no activity. I have another 2 doz goldens in the cir. air hovabator at 100 deg and don't want any complications. Is this 22 days absolute for goldens and where am I going wrong here? I believe I have my temperatures accurate also. I'm perplexed Any advice would be greatly appreciated? Thanks in advance!

Then I have both red vent plugs out in the hatcher the last 3 days. I was following little giants instructions. My eggs all have been hatching late if they do even hatch... Why does it say in almost all the literature that goldens take 22 days total? The few that have hatched for me have hatched late-like day 25. My relative humidity ranges between 46-54% thru day 20 and 77-88% through the 3 day hatch. The second group of 11 we hatched we took out longer to about the 22 day and we stopped turning-3 hatched and 2 died during hatch and the rest were dead in shell. I have all sponges in the incubator etc. to boost the humidity. I never knew his hatching was going to be so challenging! Tony, I've changed to a hovabator circulated air should I plan to use a 25 day incubation period at 100 deg. for the goldens in that?

I leave my eggs right in the turner,and let them hatch in the turner. Myself I have better luck this way.

If there are differences within a growth ring, then the part of a growth ring nearest the center of the tree, and formed early in the growing season when growth is rapid, is usually composed of wider elements. It is usually lighter in color than that near the outer portion of the ring, and is known as earlywood or springwood. The outer portion formed later in the season is then known as the latewood or summerwood. However, there are major differences, depending on the kind of wood (see below).
Electrolytes & Hydration Electrolytes & Hydrationposted 01 10, 2014 \| 4 Comments Tweet By Vishal Patel, Chief Nutritionist Hydration is a key element every athlete must be aware of, and if you’re reading our blog then you probably already know that. But you may not know that what you hydrate with is just as crucial as any other nutritional strategy you take on to improve your performance. A sports drink that is easily metabolized will help with hydration, but electrolytes are the key. For optimal hydration choose a beverage that is easily tolerated and digested, but most importantly, one that has a well-balanced electrolyte profile. But what do electrolytes do? Electrolytes are tiny particles that carry electrical charges. They serve many roles to help the body maintain proper function. When you sweat, electrolytes play key roles in keeping water balanced both inside & outside of cells so that your muscles and organs can continue to serve you properly (1). When you're active in a warm climate, you lose more fluid and electrolytes through your sweat. So, why are electrolytes important? When you sweat your body loses both fluid and electrolytes. If you don’t begin your workout properly hydrated, and/or you aren’t hydrated properly during your activity, dehydration can occur through the act of sweating. Dehydration has several negative impacts on athletic performance, and perhaps you’ve even experienced extreme consequences such as muscle cramps and fatigue. But even if you don’t feel a difference, as little as 2% dehydration can result in a decrease in performance. Remember thirst is the #1 indicator that you may be dehydrated. Replenishing electrolytes via sports drink helps to replenish your mineral losses; but electrolytes also help make the most of your water, which is the key to proper hydration. Sports drinks high in sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium can help retain fluids, and proper fluid balance contributes to optimal performance. Sodium (Na) – Maintains Fluid Balance Sodium is the most important electrolyte to monitor during training. Excessive losses of sodium (via sweat) can lead to muscle cramps, and in some cases hyponatremia (low blood sodium) – both can lead to a decrease in performance, and can cause major health complications (2). Sodium is critical for maintaining fluid balance, nerve function, muscle contractions, and acid-base balance (2). Sodium losses in sweat are greater than any other electrolyte. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain an adequate balance, both during your activity and after. Potassium (K) – Prevents Cramping Potassium in conjunction with sodium helps alleviate and prevent muscle cramps (2). Potassium is abundant in many food sources, and the average individual has high stores within the body. In sweat, potassium losses are not as high as sodium. Therefore, making it highly unlikely that losses in potassium (alone) can cause a decrease in performance. With that said, it is still crucial to maintain potassium levels while training as it will be critical for a healthy water & electrolyte balance. Calcium (Ca) – Regulates Muscle Contractions & Heart Rhythm Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body (2). It serves many roles both in normal bodily functions, and athletic performance. When calcium is circulating within the bloodstream it has a major impact on metabolism of essential nutrients, and proper physiological functions. It is well documented that calcium is essential for bone and muscle health. Calcium is also involved in all types of muscle (heart, skeletal, and smooth) functions and contractions (1). And lastly, calcium is involved in the synthesis and breakdown of muscle and liver glycogen (fuel stores) (2). Magnesium (Mg) – Relaxes Muscles Similar to how sodium and potassium function together, magnesium and calcium do the same. Calcium is essential for muscle contractions; magnesium aids in helping muscles relax (1). Therefore, the combination of magnesium and calcium is critical for healthy muscle function. Magnesium also aids in glucose metabolism, and it used in many enzymatic reactions (3). Bicarbonates – May Delay Fatigue & Enhance Endurance Sodium bicarbonate is an interesting nutrient that has some compelling theories behind its use for athletic performance. One of the key benefits of having fluids that contain sodium bicarbonate is that it buffers lactic acid in the blood. During training lactic acid builds up which stresses the anaerobic glycolysis energy system (2). When this energy system becomes disrupted, the acid accumulations inhibit muscle contractions, which leads to fatigue (2). Some research has shown that Sodium Bicarbonate intake can help delay the onset of fatigue, and enhance endurance capacity. Whether or not this phenomenon works, it can’t help but to find sports drinks that contain this nutrient. How much Nuun does Nuunbassador Jim need? It depends on quite a few factors!How much do I need? Several factors come into play when determining electrolyte losses such as: fitness level, activity duration, and environmental factors. During conditions in which both temperatures and humidity are high, the body works harder, thus increasing internal body temperature (thermoregulation). With this increase, the body needs to release heat (through sweat), and electrolytes can be lost at a greater rate. During strenuous activities in which sweat rates may be greater, or the duration is longer it is essential to replace electrolytes through fluids, and be aware of signs of dehydration. Daily requirements for these mineral vary on gender, age, and in some cases, fitness activity level/duration. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) has set standards for each of these minerals (4). For both males and females it is recommended to keep sodium intake below 2,000 mg. However, during training session’s athletes should look to replace sodium stores through electrolyte-rich beverages, as well as, replace loss stores during recovery. Potassium recommendation for males and females are 4,700 mg per day. Potassium is rich in many foods, and will not need additional supplementing. However, intake in potassium during training can help maintain water and electrolyte balance. Magnesium intake for males should be between 330-350 mg per day, and females should intake about 255-265 mg per day.

Thus, Buckingham Palace is a symbol and home of the British monarchy, an art gallery and a tourist attraction. Behind the gilded railings and gates which were completed by the Bromsgrove Guild in 1911 and Webb's famous façade, which has been described in a book published by the Royal Collection as looking "like everybody's idea of a palace", is not only a weekday home of the Queen and Prince Philip but also the London residence of the Duke of York and the Earl and Countess of Wessex. The palace also houses the offices of the Queen, Prince Philip, Duke of York, Earl and Countess of Wessex, Princess Royal, and Princess Alexandra, and is the workplace of more than 800 people.
What is the difference between a plaintiff and a defendant? Answer Wiki. In Law of Tort/Civil Suit, there are two parties - plaintiff and defendant. A Tort is a civil wrong in which a legal right of a person is violated by an act of other person who does not have any legal justification for such act. The former is called the plaintiff, and the latter is called the defendant. The plaintiff files a suit against the defendant to seek suitable remedy/compensation. The plaintiff and defendant are analogous to the prosecution and defence in a criminal case. Written Aug 22, 2015 Â· View Upvotes.
When the Galileo probe went into the atmosphere of Jupiter it discovered some very interesting things that were a bit of a surprise. 1 The probe was able to get down to a depth of 150 km below sea level before it stopped working. There is no surface on Jupiter, so you can define sea level as the place in the atmosphere where the gas pressure equals the Earth's atmospheric pressure at sea level, or 1 bar.

Another significant change undergone by many of these newly agrarian communities was one of diet. Pre-agrarian diets varied by region, season, available local plant and animal resources and degree of pastoralism and hunting. Post-agrarian diet was restricted to a limited package of successfully cultivated cereal grains, plants and to a variable extent domesticated animals and animal products. Supplementation of diet by hunting and gathering was to variable degrees precluded by the increase in population above the carrying capacity of the land and a high sedentary local population concentration. In some cultures, there would have been a significant shift toward increased starch and plant protein. The relative nutritional benefits and drawbacks of these dietary changes and their overall impact on early societal development is still debated.
After getting my bachelors how long does it take to get a doctorate? Education & Reference Higher Education (University +)After getting my bachelors how long does it take to get a doctorate? In my last year of my bachelors degree in psychology and I want to get a doctorate. But I have no idea how long it would take. And is it better to get a masters a doctorate? Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: It generally takes 2 years to complete a master's and after that I would say at least 3-4 to complete a Ph. D. although many doctorates take much longer than that: sometimes up to 6-8 years. Unless you're trying to get into a unique medical field, such as virology or epidemiology etc., or to work/teach at the college level, then a master's degree will suffice for the most part. In fact, some colleges employ professors who hold a Masters degree and don't have a doctorate. also fyi, for every 100 Ph. D.'s rewarded to a person, there are fewer than 10 collegiate job openings :). Hope that helped :)dvd_clapp · 10 years ago0 1 Comment Asker's rating Many universities allow BA/BS holders to matriculate directly into a doctoral program. Watch out though, some offer the Ph D, while others have the Psy D. The credential is different. The former is more theoretical and research oriented, while the latter is more clinical. I used to work at a college that had AAS and BA degrees. We enrolled students into the AAS, then graduated them and enrolled them into the BA. The AAS was not enough to get a job in the field. They got out of synch really fast. My story here is not for grad school, but honestly, the same principle applies. When you are considering ang graduate degree, take the time to really discuss your plans and goals with not only the admissions person, but the faculty and department chair. They wiill be able to guide you best. Good luck with your search for information. Anonymous · 10 years ago0 0 Comment It takes anywhere from four to eight years. I got mine in four years. You usually have two to three years of classes, a written exam after the second year (mine was two days long), an oral exam after the third year and then you write your dissertation. The dissertation is the big unknown. I wrote mine in two years, but I know people who took much longer. If you are doing clinical psychology, it could take longer, because you may need to do clinical training. Someone suggested getting a Master's first. I do not recommend this unless you can't get into a good program. The better schools do not accept terminal master's students. Source (s): University Professor Ranto · 10 years ago0 0 Comment I would recommend getting a Masters first, then doctorate. I have my Masters in Education and it took me less than two years. It was just a bunch of classes and a thesis. For a doctorate you have to have a research plan and more classes and tons of work and the Masters will really prepare you for the hard work that earning a doctorate entails. Good luck!Maddog Mommy · 10 years ago0 1 Comment It depends on so many things, like what your research is going to be on and how picky your advisors are. 4-6 years is about normal. Secondly, a doctorate is for people who want to be scholars and actively research for the rest of their careers. masters is less research oriented, and is better suited for people who want "real world" hands on experience rather than just doing academic research. Good luck. You could probably contact the schools that you are applying to and ask them how long thier students take on average to complete the degrees. Each school will be different.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Thranduil and an Elf army arrive in Dale and form an alliance with Bard in order to reclaim a treasure once withheld from them by Thrór. Bard goes to the mountain and asks Thorin for the share of gold that he had previously promised the people of Laketown, but Thorin refuses. Gandalf arrives at Dale to warn Bard and Thranduil of the threat posed by Azog, but Thranduil dismisses him. Bilbo sneaks out of Erebor to hand the Arkenstone over to Thranduil and Bard so that they can trade it for the treasures they were promised and prevent a battle. When Bard's and Thranduil's armies gather at the gates of Erebor, offering to trade the Arkenstone for the promised treasures, Thorin angrily refuses to believe they have the Arkenstone until Bilbo admits giving it away and chides Thorin for letting greed cloud his judgement. Outraged by what he sees as betrayal, Thorin nearly kills Bilbo, but Gandalf appears and shames Thorin into releasing Bilbo. Thorin's cousin Dáin arrives with his Dwarf army, and a battle of Dwarves against Elves and Men begins, until Wereworms emerge from the ground, releasing Azog's army from their tunnels. With the Orcs outnumbering Dáin's army, Thranduil and Bard's forces, along with Gandalf and Bilbo, join the battle. However, a second front is opened when many Orcs, Ogres, and Trolls attack Dale, forcing Bard to withdraw his forces to defend the city.

Jehovah's Witnesses is a millenarian restorationist Christian denomination with nontrinitarian beliefs distinct from mainstream Christianity. The group claims a worldwide membership of more than 8.2 million adherents involved in evangelism, convention attendance figures of more than 15 million, and an annual Memorial attendance of more than 19.9 million.

The United Nations designates Tuvalu as a least developed country (LDC) because of its limited potential for economic development, absence of exploitable resources and its small size and vulnerability to external economic and environmental shocks. Tuvalu participates in the Enhanced Integrated Framework for Trade-Related Technical Assistance to Least Developed Countries (EIF), which was established in October 1997 under the auspices of the World Trade Organisation. In 2013 Tuvalu deferred its graduation from least developed country (LDC) status to a developing country to 2015. Prime Minister Enele Sopoaga said that this deferral was necessary to maintain access by Tuvalu to the funds provided by the United Nations's National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA), as "Once Tuvalu graduates to a developed country, it will not be considered for funding assistance for climate change adaptation programmes like NAPA, which only goes to LDCs". Tuvalu had met targets so that Tuvalu was to graduate from LDC status. Prime minister, Enele Sopoaga wants the United Nations to reconsider its criteria for graduation from LDC status as not enough weight is given to the environmental plight of small island states like Tuvalu in the application of the Environmental Vulnerability Index (EVI).
