Lift (force)
A fluid flowing past the surface of a body exerts a force on it. Lift is the component of this force that is perpendicular to the oncoming flow direction.[1] It contrasts with the drag force, which is the component of the surface force parallel to the flow direction. If the fluid is air, the force is called an aerodynamic force. In water, it is called a hydrodynamic force.
Lift is the force generated by propellers and wings to propel aircraft and keep them in the air. Birds, bats, insects, fish, flying reptiles, and even falling plant seeds have usefully exploited lift for millions of years.

Lift is most commonly associated with the wing of a fixed-wing aircraft, although lift is also generated by propellers, kites, helicopter rotors, rudders, sails and keels on sailboats, hydrofoils, wings on auto racing cars, wind turbines and other streamlined objects. Lift is also exploited in the animal world, and even in the plant world by the seeds of certain trees[citation needed]. While the common meaning of the word "lift" assumes that lift opposes weight, lift in its technical sense can be in any direction since it is defined with respect to the direction of flow rather than to the direction of gravity. When an aircraft is flying straight and level (cruise) most of the lift opposes gravity.[2] However, when an aircraft is climbing, descending, or banking in a turn the lift is tilted with respect to the vertical.[3] Lift may also be entirely downwards in some aerobatic manoeuvres, or on the wing on a racing car. In this last case, the term downforce is often used. Lift may also be largely horizontal, for instance on a sail on a sailboat.
An airfoil is a streamlined shape that is capable of generating significantly more lift than drag.[4] Non-streamlined objects such as bluff bodies and flat plates may also generate lift when moving relative to the fluid, but will have a higher drag coefficient dominated by pressure drag.[5]
Description of lift on an airfoil[edit]
There are several ways to explain how an airfoil generates lift. Some are more complicated or more mathematically rigorous than others; some have been shown to be incorrect.[6][7][8][9][10] For example, there are explanations based directly on Newton's laws of motion and explanations based on Bernoulli's principle. Either can be used to explain lift.[11][12] This article will start with a simple explanation based on Newton's laws; more complicated and alternative explanations will follow.
Newton's laws: lift and the deflection of the flow[edit]
Lift is a reaction force—an airfoil deflects the air as it passes the airfoil.[13] Since the foil must exert a force on the air to change its direction, the air must exert a force of equal magnitude but opposite direction on the foil. In the case of an airplane wing, the wing exerts a downward force on the air and the air exerts an upward force on the wing.[15][16][18][19][20][21][22][23]
This follows from the second and third of Newton's laws of motion: The net force on an object is equal to its rate of momentum change, and: To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.[24]
The air changes direction as it passes the airfoil and follows a path that is curved. Whenever airflow changes direction, a reaction force is generated opposite to the directional change.[25]
Pressure differences[edit]
Lift may also be described in terms of air pressure: pressure is the normal force per unit area. Wherever there is net force there is also a pressure difference, thus deflection/flow turning indicates the presence of a net force and therefore a pressure difference. The direction of the net force implies that the average pressure on the upper surface of the wing is lower than the average pressure on the underside.[26][27][28]
Whenever a fluid follows a curved path, there is a pressure gradient perpendicular to the flow direction. This direct relationship between curved streamlines and pressure differences was derived from Newton's second law by Leonhard Euler in 1754:
where R is the radius of curvature, p is the pressure, ρ is the density, and v is the velocity. This formula shows that higher velocities and tighter curvatures create larger pressure differentials and that for straight flow (R → ∞) the pressure difference is zero.[29]
Flow on both sides of the wing[edit]
In the picture above, observe that the air is turned both above and below the wing so both the upper and lower surface contribute to the flow turning and therefore the lift. In fact, for typical airfoils at subsonic speeds the top surface contributes more flow turning than the bottom surface, and the pressure deviation along the top is significantly larger than along the bottom. A common explanation describes lift as merely the result of the air molecules bouncing off the lower surface of the wing, but since this ignores the airflow around the top of the wing it usually leads to incorrect results. However, at hypersonic speeds, this model becomes applicable.[30][31][32]
Angle of attack[edit]
The angle of attack is the angle between an airfoil and the oncoming air. A symmetrical airfoil will generate zero lift at zero angle of attack. But as the angle of attack increases, the air is deflected through a larger angle and the vertical component of the airstream velocity increases, resulting in more lift. For small angles a symmetrical airfoil will generate a lift force roughly proportional to the angle of attack.[33][34]
As the angle of attack grows larger, the lift reaches a maximum at some angle; increasing the angle of attack beyond this critical angle of attack causes the air to become turbulent and separate from the wing; there is less deflection downward so the airfoil generates less lift. The airfoil is said to be stalled.[35]
Cambered airfoils will generate lift at zero angle of attack. When the chordline is horizontal, the trailing edge has a downward direction and since the air follows the trailing edge it is deflected downward.[36] When a cambered airfoil is upside down, the angle of attack can be adjusted so that the lift force is upwards. This explains how a plane can fly upside down.[37][38]
Limitations of deflection/turning[edit]
- While the theory correctly reasons that deflection implies that there must be a force on the wing, it does not explain why the air is deflected. Intuitively, one can say that the air follows the curve of the foil,[39] but this is not very rigorous or precise.
- The theory, while correct in as far as it goes, is not sufficiently detailed to support the precise calculations required for engineering.[40][41][42] Thus, textbooks on aerodynamics use more complex models to provide a full description of lift.
Bernoulli's principle: lift, pressure, and speed[edit]
Bernoulli's principle states that within an airflow of constant energy, when the air flows through a region of lower pressure it speeds up and vice versa.[43] Thus, there is a direct mathematical relationship between the pressure and the speed, so if one knows the speed at all points within the airflow one can calculate the pressure, and vice versa. For any airfoil generating lift, there must be a pressure imbalance, i.e. lower average air pressure on the top than on the bottom. Bernoulli's principle states that this pressure difference must be accompanied by a speed difference.
Bernoulli's principle does not explain why the air flows faster over the top of the wing; to explain that requires some other physical reasoning.[44] It is in providing that additional reasoning where some explanations oversimplify things.
Conservation of mass[edit]
If one takes the experimentally observed flow around an airfoil as a starting point, then lift can be explained in terms of pressures using Bernoulli's principle and conservation of mass.[14]
Returning to the picture from the previous section, the flow approaching an airfoil can be divided into streamtubes, which are defined based on the area between two streamlines. By definition, fluid never crosses a streamline in a steady flow. Assuming that the air is incompressible, the rate of flow (e.g. liters or gallons per minute) must be constant within each streamtube since matter is not created or destroyed. If a streamtube becomes narrower, the flow speed must increase in the narrower region to maintain the constant flow rate. This idea is called "conservation of mass", and for incompressible flow mass is conserved within each streamtube.[45]
The picture shows that the upper stream tubes constrict as they flow up and around the airfoil. Conservation of mass says that the flow speed must increase as the stream tube area decreases.[14] Similarly, the lower stream tubes expand and the flow slows down.
From Bernoulli's principle, the pressure on the upper surface where the flow is moving faster is lower than the pressure on the lower surface where it is moving slower. The pressure difference thus creates a net aerodynamic force, pointing upward and downstream to the flow direction. The component of the force perpendicular to the free stream is lift; the component parallel to the freestream is drag. In conjunction with this force by the air on the airfoil, the airfoil imparts an equal-and-opposite force on the surrounding air that creates the downwash, in accordance with Newton's third law. Measuring the momentum transferred to the downwash is another way to determine the amount of lift on the airfoil.[46]
Limitations of explanations based on Bernoulli's principle[edit]
- The explanation above does not explain why the streamtubes change size. To see why the air flows the way it does requires more sophisticated analysis.[47][48][49]
- Sometimes a geometrical argument is offered to demonstrate why the streamtubes change size: it is asserted that the top "obstructs" or "constricts" the air more than the bottom, hence narrower streamtubes. For conventional wings that are flat on the bottom and curved on top this makes some intuitive sense. But it does not explain how flat plates, symmetric airfoils, sailboat sails, or conventional airfoils flying upside down can generate lift, and attempts to calculate lift based on the amount of constriction do not predict experimental results.[50][51][52][53]
- In deriving Bernoulli's principle, assumptions may be made (such as constant energy or incompressible flow) that are not applicable to real-world airfoils. For instance, a sailboat that is accelerating is removing energy from the flow while an airplane in level flight is adding energy to the flow, so energy is not constant. For high speed aircraft moving at transonic speeds the effects of compressibility can't be neglected.[54][55][56][57]
- A common explanation using Bernoulli's principle asserts that the air must traverse both the top and bottom in the same amount of time and that this explains the increased speed on the (longer) top side of the wing. But this assertion is false; it is typically the case that the air parcels traveling over the upper surface will reach the trailing edge before those traveling over the bottom.[58]
A more detailed physical description[edit]
Lift is generated in accordance with the fundamental principles of physics. The most relevant physics reduce to three principles:[59]
- Conservation of Momentum, which is a direct consequence of Newton's laws of motion, especially Newton's second law which relates the net force on an element of air to its rate of momentum change,
- Conservation of Mass, including the common assumption that the airfoil's surface is impermeable for the air flowing around, and
- Conservation of Energy, which says that energy is neither created nor destroyed.
In addition, one needs an expression relating the fluid stresses (consisting of pressure and shear stress components) to the properties of the flow.[60][61] The pressure depends on the other flow properties, such as its mass density, through the (thermodynamic) equation of state, while the shear stresses are related to the flow through the air's viscosity.[60]
The above conditions can be expressed as partial differential equations that constrain the fluid flow. Unlike the physics of rigid bodies where the equations of motion describe the physical location of the rigid body, fluid dynamics describes the flow as a velocity field, i.e. a solution associates each point in space with a vector that represents the speed and direction of the flow at that point. Once the velocity field is solved for, other quantities of interest may be computed from the velocity field. For instance, Bernoulli's equation can be used to determine the pressure at each point on the airfoil from the speed of the velocity field. The pressures can then be "added up" (integrated) to determine the net aerodynamic force.
Application of the viscous shear stresses to Newton's second law for an airflow results in the Navier–Stokes equations. These equations are notoriously difficult to solve, but in many instances approximations suffice for a good description of lifting airfoils. In large parts of the flow viscosity may be neglected; such an inviscid flow can be described mathematically through the Euler equations, resulting from the Navier-Stokes equations when the viscosity is neglected. Neither the Navier-Stokes equations nor the Euler equations lend themselves to exact analytic solutions; usually engineers have to resort to numerical solutions to solve them, but Euler's equation can be solved by making further simplifying assumptions.[62]
Potential flow, the Kutta condition, and circulation[edit]
One further simplifying approximation is to assume that the flow is irrotational, i.e. that the flow does not rotate around itself. Mathematically, this is expressed by saying that the curl of the flow field is everywhere equal to zero. Irrotational flows have two nice properties: 1) an irrotational flow can be expressed as the gradient of a scalar function called a potential (the flow is then called potential flow) 2) solutions to complicated flows can be expressed as the sum of simpler flow fields. These two properties make the calculations tractable.[63][64]
In particular, solutions can be expressed as the sum of a uniform flow (i.e. a steady flow equal to the free stream velocity) plus a free vortex flow, i.e. a circular flow around the airfoil with the speed inversely proportional to the radius.[65] (Vortex flow is irrotational, except at the center of its circulation; since the center is inside the airfoil, the flow itself remains irrotational.) A vortex flow of any strength may be added to this uniform flow and the equation is solved, thus there are many flows that solve the Euler equations.[66]
In order to arrive at a unique (physical) solution, one can apply the Kutta condition, which says that for steady flow the rear stagnation point is coincident with the trailing edge of the airfoil. The magnitude of the vortex flow is adjusted so that the Kutta condition is met. Another way to say this is that the airflow around the airfoil develops enough vorticity to satisfy the Kutta condition. Vorticity is measured by a number called the circulation, so an airfoil in a steady flow will develop sufficient circulation to satisfy the Kutta condition.
The image to the right shows the streamlines over a NACA 0012 airfoil computed using potential flow theory and applying the Kutta condition as a boundary condition.[67] The stagnation streamline is the streamline that intersects the airfoil. In the front it typically intersects the airfoil on the lower surface near the leading edge. The stagnation streamline leaves the airfoil at the sharp trailing edge, according to the Kutta condition.
The physical interpretation of circulation is that the vortex flow adds to the uniform flow above the wing and subtracts from it below the wing. Thus, the speed of the air above the wing is higher than below it, as can be seen in the narrower streamtube. By Bernoulli's principle, this implies a pressure difference and therefore lift. The amount of lift is directly proportional to the circulation.[68]
Flowfield formation[edit]
Consider the case of an airfoil accelerating from rest in a viscous flow. When there is no flow, there is no lift and the aerodynamic forces acting on the airfoil are zero. At the instant when the flow is "turned on", the flow is undeflected downstream of the airfoil and there are two stagnation points on the airfoil (where the flow velocity is zero): one near the leading edge on the bottom surface, and another on the upper surface near the trailing edge. The dividing line between the upper and lower streamtubes intersects the body at the stagnation points. Since the flow speed is zero at these points, by Bernoulli's principle the static pressure at these points is at a maximum. As long as the second stagnation point is at its initial location on the upper surface of the wing, the circulation around the airfoil is zero and, in accordance with the Kutta–Joukowski theorem, there is no lift. The net pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces is zero.[69]
The effects of viscosity are contained within a thin layer of fluid called the boundary layer, close to the body. As flow over the airfoil commences, the flow along the lower surface turns at the sharp trailing edge and flows along the upper surface towards the upper stagnation point. The flow in the vicinity of the sharp trailing edge is very fast and the resulting viscous forces cause the boundary layer to accumulate into a vortex on the upper side of the airfoil between the trailing edge and the upper stagnation point.[70] This is called the starting vortex. The starting vortex and the bound vortex around the surface of the wing are two halves of a closed loop. As the starting vortex increases in strength the bound vortex also strengthens, causing the flow over the upper surface of the airfoil to accelerate and drive the upper stagnation point towards the sharp trailing edge. As this happens, the starting vortex is shed into the wake,[71] and is a necessary condition to produce lift on an airfoil. If the flow were stopped, there would be a corresponding "stopping vortex".[72] Despite being an idealization of the real world, the "vortex system" set up around a wing is both real and observable; the trailing vortex sheet most noticeably rolls up into wing-tip vortices.
The upper stagnation point continues moving downstream until it is coincident with the sharp trailing edge (as stated by the Kutta condition). The flow downstream of the airfoil is deflected downward from the free-stream direction and, from the reasoning above in the basic explanation, there is now a net pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces and an aerodynamic force is generated.
Other alternative explanations for the generation of lift[edit]
Many other alternative explanations for the generation of lift by an airfoil have been put forward, a few of which are presented here. Most of them are intended to explain the phenomenon of lift to a general audience. Although the explanations may share features in common with the explanations above, additional assumptions and simplifications may be introduced. This can reduce the validity of an alternative explanation to a limited sub-class of lift generating conditions, or might not allow a quantitative analysis. Several theories introduce assumptions which proved to be wrong, like the equal transit-time theory.
False explanation based on equal transit-time[edit]
Basic or popular sources often describe the "Equal Transit-Time" theory of lift, which incorrectly assumes that the parcels of air that divide at the leading edge of an airfoil must rejoin at the trailing edge, forcing the air traveling along the longer upper surface to go faster. Bernoulli's Principle is then cited to conclude that since the air moves slower along the bottom of the wing, the air pressure must be higher, pushing the wing up.[73]
However, there is no physical principle that requires equal transit time and experimental results show that this assumption is false. In fact, the air moving over the top of an airfoil generating lift moves much faster than the equal transit theory predicts.[74] Further, the theory violates Newton's third law of motion, since it describes a force on the wing with no opposite force.[75][76][77][78][79]
The assertion that the air must arrive simultaneously at the trailing edge is sometimes referred to as the "Equal Transit-Time Fallacy".[80][81][82][83][84]
Coandă effect[edit]
In a limited sense, the Coandă effect refers to the tendency of a fluid jet to stay attached to an adjacent surface that curves away from the flow, and the resultant entrainment of ambient air into the flow. The effect is named for Henri Coandă, the Romanian aerodynamicist who exploited it in many of his patents.
More broadly, some consider the effect to include the tendency of any fluid boundary layer to adhere to a curved surface, not just the boundary layer accompanying a fluid jet. It is in this broader sense that the Coandă effect is used by some to explain why the air flow remains attached to the top side of an airfoil.[85] Jef Raskin,[86] for example, describes a simple demonstration, using a straw to blow over the upper surface of a wing. The wing deflects upwards, thus demonstrating that the Coandă effect creates lift. This demonstration correctly demonstrates the Coandă effect as a fluid jet (the exhaust from a straw) adhering to a curved surface (the wing). However, the upper surface in this flow is a complicated, vortex-laden mixing layer, while on the lower surface the flow is quiescent. The physics of this demonstration are very different from that of the general flow over the wing.[87] The usage in this sense is encountered in some popular references on aerodynamics.[85][86] In the aerodynamics field, the Coandă effect is commonly defined in the more limited sense above[87][88][89] and viscosity is used to explain why the boundary layer attaches to the surface of a wing.[72]
Methods to determine lift on an airfoil[edit]
Lift coefficient[edit]
If the lift coefficient for a wing at a specified angle of attack is known (or estimated using a method such as thin airfoil theory), then the lift produced for specific flow conditions can be determined using the following equation:[90]
- L is lift force,
- ρ is air density,
- v is true airspeed,
- A is planform area, and
- is the lift coefficient at the desired angle of attack, Mach number, and Reynolds number[91]
Kutta–Joukowski theorem[edit]
Lift can be calculated using potential flow theory by imposing a circulation. It is often used by practising aerodynamicists as a convenient quantity in calculations, for example thin-airfoil theory and lifting-line theory.
The circulation is the contour integral of the tangential velocity of the air on a closed loop (also called a 'circuit') around the boundary of an airfoil. It can be understood as the total amount of "spinning" (or vorticity) of air around the airfoil. The section lift/span can be calculated using the Kutta–Joukowski theorem:[46]
where is the air density, is the free-stream airspeed. Kelvin's circulation theorem states that circulation is conserved for any circuit moving with the fluid.[92] When an aircraft is at rest, circulation is zero.
The challenge when using the Kutta–Joukowski theorem to determine lift is to determine the appropriate circulation for a particular airfoil. In practice, this is done by applying the Kutta condition, which uniquely prescribes the circulation for a given geometry and free-stream velocity.
A physical understanding of the theorem can be observed in the Magnus effect, which is a lift force generated by a spinning cylinder in a freestream. Here the necessary circulation is induced by the mechanical rotation acting on the boundary layer, causing it to induce a faster flow around one side of the cylinder and a slower flow around the other. The asymmetric distribution of airspeed around the cylinder then produces a circulation in the outer inviscid flow.[93]
Pressure integration[edit]
The force on the wing can be examined in terms of the pressure differences above and below the wing, which can be related to velocity changes by Bernoulli's principle.
The total lift force is the integral of vertical pressure forces over the entire wetted surface area of the wing:[94]
- L is the lift,
- A is the wing surface area,
- p is the value of the pressure,
- n is the normal unit vector pointing into the wing, and
- k is the vertical unit vector, normal to the freestream direction.
The above lift equation neglects the skin friction forces, which typically have a negligible contribution to the lift compared to the pressure forces. By using the streamwise vector i parallel to the freestream in place of k in the integral, we obtain an expression for the pressure drag Dp (which includes induced drag in a 3D wing). If we use the spanwise vector j, we obtain the side force Y.
One method for calculating the pressure is Bernoulli's equation, which is the mathematical expression of Bernoulli's principle. This method ignores the effects of viscosity, which can be important in the boundary layer and to predict friction drag, which is the other component of the total drag in addition to Dp.
The Bernoulli principle states that the sum total of energy within a parcel of fluid remains constant as long as no energy is added or removed. It is a statement of the principle of the conservation of energy applied to flowing fluids.
A substantial simplification proposes that other forms of energy changes are inconsequential during the flow of air around a wing and that energy transfer in/out of the air is not significant, so the sum of pressure energy and speed energy for any particular parcel of air must be constant. Consequently, an increase in speed must be accompanied by a decrease in pressure and vice-versa. It is named for the Dutch-Swiss mathematician and scientist Daniel Bernoulli, though it was previously understood by Leonhard Euler and others.
Bernoulli's principle provides an explanation of pressure difference in the absence of air density and temperature variation (a common approximation for low-speed aircraft). If the air density and temperature are the same above and below a wing, a naive application of the ideal gas law requires that the pressure also be the same. Bernoulli's principle, by including air velocity, explains this pressure difference. The principle does not, however, specify the air velocity. This must come from another source, e.g., experimental data.
In order to solve for the velocity of inviscid flow around a wing, the Kutta condition must be applied to simulate the effects of viscosity. The Kutta condition allows for the correct choice among an infinite number of flow solutions that otherwise obey the laws of conservation of mass and conservation of momentum.
Lift forces on bluff bodies[edit]
The flow around bluff bodies – i.e. without a streamlined shape, or stalling airfoils – may also generate lift, besides a strong drag force. This lift may be steady, or it may oscillate due to vortex shedding. Interaction of the object's flexibility with the vortex shedding may enhance the effects of fluctuating lift and cause vortex-induced vibrations.[95] For instance, the flow around a circular cylinder generates a Kármán vortex street: vortices being shed in an alternating fashion from each side of the cylinder. The oscillatory nature of the flow is reflected in the fluctuating lift force on the cylinder, whereas the mean lift force is negligible. The lift force frequency is characterised by the dimensionless Strouhal number, which depends (among others) on the Reynolds number of the flow.[96][97]
For a flexible structure, this oscillatory lift force may induce vortex-induced vibrations. Under certain conditions – for instance resonance or strong spanwise correlation of the lift force – the resulting motion of the structure due to the lift fluctuations may be strongly enhanced. Such vibrations may pose problems and threaten collapse in tall man-made structures like industrial chimneys.[95]

And it's confusing for a fluid because the mass can move and redistribute itself (unlike a solid), but can only do so in ways that conserve momentum (mass times velocity) and energy (mass times velocity squared)... A change in velocity in one direction can cause a change in velocity in a perpendicular direction in a fluid, which doesn't occur in solid mechanics...

Once having derived the equation, however, we like to apply it to all sorts of phenomena that don't satisfy the constraints.

(gives) the false impression that restrictions used in deriving an equation like Bernoulli's equation can be ignored in the later applications of that equation. Bernoulli's equation is derived assuming incompressible fluids, and therefore can only be applied to air in special circumstances. Our objections to the use of Bernoulli's equation to explain airfoil lift in introductory texts are that it sets a bad example in illustrating to students that it is all right (perhaps even good physics) to apply an equation to a situation in which it appears to violate the conditions assumed in deriving the equation, and that it does not lead to a clear understanding of how airfoils generate lift."

- ^ "Another fundamental problem with this description is that the air's pressure and speed are not related by the Bernoulli equation for a real wing in flight! The Bernoulli equation is a statement of the conservation of energy. For it to be applied the system must be in equilibrium and no energy added to the system. As you will see in the discussion below, a great deal of energy as added to the air. Before the wing came by the air was standing still. After the passage of the wing there is a great deal of air in motion. A 250-ton jet at cruse speed is doing a lot of work to stay in the air. Much of the fuel that is burned is adding energy to the air to create lift. Thus the Bernoulli equation is not applicable." The Newtonian Description of Lift of a Wing-Revised David F.

- ^ "Although the Bernoulli equation is very useful for qualatative descriptions of many features of fluid flow, such descriptions are often grossly inaccurate when compared with the quantitative results of experiments. Prominent reasons for the discrepancies are that gasses like air are hardly incompressible, and liquids like water are hardly inviscid, which invalidates the assumptions made in deriving the Bernoulli equation.

Safe Eating Guidelines
Fish from all sources can contain contaminants, so making informed decisions about your consumption of both store-bought and locally-caught fish is important. You should consider all sources of fish in your diet when making choices about eating fish. If you are pregnant, planning to be pregnant, breastfeeding or have children, you and your children need to be more careful about the kinds of fish you eat and how often you eat fish.
By following these guidelines, you can reduce your exposure to the contaminants in fish, help reduce your health risks, and still get the benefits of eating fish.
Statewide Safe Eating Guidelines — are based on mercury and PCB levels measured in fish throughout Minnesota and on levels of mercury found in commercial fish. Not all waters in Minnesota have been tested for contaminants in fish. But the Safe Eating Guidelines can be used for both tested and untested waters.
Site-Specific Guidelines — are available for lakes and rivers where fish have been tested for contaminants. These guidelines are based on the contaminant level measured in the edible portion. These consumption guidelines are also searchable by lake on the Department of Natural Resources Lake Finder website. For the tested lakes and rivers, fish may contain higher- or lower-than-average levels of mercury or PCBs, and the resulting meal advice will be either more or less restrictive than the Statewide Safe Eating Guidelines.
Commercial Fish Consumption Advice — is available from the Minnesota Department of Health and from the federal government for women (of childbearing age) and children for commonly eaten commercial fish species.

Faced with changing markets, dynamic technologies, globalization and increasingly diverse work forces, today's managers must be prepared to meet a multitude of challenges and opportunities. The Management and Labor Relations (MLR) major qualifies students for entry-level managerial positions in a wide variety of for-profit, non profit and governmental organizations. Students who choose to major in Management and Labor Relations select one of two areas of concentration.
This program focuses on developing the student's knowledge and skills in areas related to the development and management of people in organizations. Courses in this track explore many of the contemporary issues facing human resource professionals today and provide students with an introduction to the challenges they will face in their future careers.
This track focuses on developing the student's knowledge of the management functions of planning, controlling, organizing, leading and problem solving. Students are also given the opportunity to develop critical interpersonal skills vital to successful management today.
At its essence, management is the art of getting work done by directing the activities of others. In the modern business world, those MLR graduates with limited or no experience can gain entry level jobs as management trainees in a wide variety of organizations and industries. Since many of Cleveland State University's MLR graduates are either already working in permanent positions or have internships/co-op jobs, they are already on established career paths. The General Management Track helps prepare students for diverse management career paths in industries such as banking, health care, manufacturing, retail, distribution, construction, and other services, as well as the non profit sector. The Human Resources track generally prepares graduates for career opportunities within the human resources field in these same industries.

Newcastle are a goal up but a man down in the Tyne-Wear derby after Yohan Cabaye's goal and Cheik Tiote's red card.
It is the fifth dismissal in the past five games between the two rivals, and the game got off to a typically explosive start when Cabaye fired his team into the lead with just three minutes on the clock. Hatem Ben Arfa teed up Demba Ba to drive a fierce effort at Mignolet, which the Belgian could only palm out back into the area, where Cabaye was waiting to smash home.
As befits the fixture, a scrappy but entertaining contest followed, with Sunderland able to get forward but unable to put Newcastle under any real pressure. Midway through the half, however, they were given a huge helping hand after Cheik Tiote went over the ball in a challenge with Steven Fletcher, clattering the Scotland striker on the shin and earning himself a dismissal. In truth, Newcastle could be forgiven for thinking the red card was slightly harsh, but by the letter of the law could have no complaints.
Despite the numerical advantage, Sunderland still struggled to impose themselves on the Newcastle defence. The closest time the Black Cats came to scoring was in the 32nd minute, when Danny Rose's low cross found it's way to Adam Johnson in the area, but the England winger curled his shot wide of the far post.
And yet towards the end of the half, it was almost Newcastle who doubled their advantage. A corner was taken for Fabricio Coloccini to attempt a long-range strike, but his effort ricocheted onto the chest of Demba Ba, whose acrobatic effort from just a few yards out went over the crossbar with Simon Mignolet a thankful spectator.
Newcastle may be leading and a man down, but the Magpies have not shut up shop - the game is still very much an open one, and the game is posed for an absorbing second half. Martin O'Neill will know that his side have not been good enough, particularly given their advantage in numbers, so half-time substitutions would not be a surprise.

You know its bad when you login into your blog and it asks you to enter your password…and you forgot the password!!
Hello friends! I miss blogging. I will be better.
Summer is proving to be eventful.
My son's broken arm, dance back in full swing, ordering books for a new school and wrapping my brain around what that means.
I just finished a project I hope to share this week…and I made my own paint for it. Happy, happy, happy (for those Duck Dynasty lovers like myself!)
Had my first photo shoot with a precious 3 month old baby. I can't begin to tell you the joy I felt for that sweet baby and his parents. His journey into this world is nothing short of a miracle.
And I am working on a new blogsite for myself…if I could only settle on a name. I'll just tell you, my husband thinks he's a real comedian (that's why I married him!) but his idea and my idea don't jive. HA!
We are leaving for the sunny beach in less than 2 weeks…broken arm and all…and we could not be more excited. I have a few travel games in the works to share next week too.
And spending a few moments in quiet each day, praying thanksgiving for the friends in my life, my husband and my children. I love them dearly.
To update you on Angie…Revolucion is open for business!! And to quote Angie, she is 'busy as hell!" As you can imagine, running a business is hard work. Hopefully Angie will have some pictures to share soon!
And so I leave you with this: salt water in any shape or form is good. Whether it be tears down your cheeks, sweat on your forehead, or saltwater between your toes…

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
The crux is definitely the shared last pitch of "Hallucinogen", 12-. There is a chossy .11 crux with bolts and pins in the middle of the route. It's basically a big adventure outing, fun, and has great views of the wall and other routes. There is some simuling and pitches of 250-400' at times but with easy chimneys and such.
Start soloing as for "Air Voyage", share 1st pitch of AV and then bust a right up fun, chossy corner for about 250'. Then just follow the diagonal feature a while. When you approach a huge roof that "Paint it Black/La Visage" goes out, look right for a bolted anchor on an arete. Sick hang over the "Hallucinogen" route!!! There is draw left on the traverse bolt for pro, and the follower unclips rope and leaves it, especially since you can't reach it to take it off.

Begin with a scenic drive across graceful bridges into the heart of Recife. First, visit the splendid Golden Chapel that is part of the Convent and Church of Saint Anthony. Its intricate Baroque design, covered in gold leaf, makes it one of the most beautiful and historic examples of religious art in Brazil. Next, pass the imposing Governor's Mansion and St. Isabel Theater. Continue past paste-colored stuccoed houses and meticulously restored churches which line the shady streets to your next destination, the 16th century colonial town of Olinda. At Carmo Square, you'll leave your motor coach and board a minivan to traverse the narrow winding streets of this historical city center. Olinda's main square, the Alto da Sé lies on the crest of the town's highest hill. A remarkably well-preserved colonial city, founded in 1534, UNESCO has declared Olinda a world historical monument. Once there, you'll leave the minivan for an exploration on foot of the Alto da Sé, the Sé Cathedral and the Misericordia Church. While walking, take a moment to peruse its colorful Portuguese tiles and woodcarvings, which are adorned with gold leaf. Back aboard your minivan, a short drive will take you to the Mercado da Ribeira,old market where the slaves were sold. Today it is home to a potpourri of artisan's shops. Here you will have breathtaking views of Olinda and ample photo opportunities.

Lawyers for the mother of a Fayetteville girl who was murdered in 2009 have asked a judge to dismiss charges against their client.
Attorneys for 29-year-old Antoinette Davis appeared at a hearing Thursday in Cumberland County Superior Court. Judge James Ammons Jr. acknowledged their motion to dismiss and said he needed more time to make a decision. He did not set a date to deliver his decision.
Antoinette Davis is accused of giving Shaniya to Mario McNeill on Nov. 10, 2009, to settle a drug debt. McNeill was convicted of Shaniya's murder and sentenced to death in May. He also was convicted of kidnapping and sexually abusing Shaniya.
Davis' trial is scheduled to begin Oct. 28. She is charged with first-degree murder, first-degree rape, first-degree sex offense, child abuse, sexual servitude with a child, child abuse sexual act, human trafficking and indecent liberties with a child.
Defense attorneys say the charges against Davis arise "out of the same facts and circumstances as those giving rise to McNeill's conviction."
The motion says that after prosecutors got a conviction in McNeill's trial, the state holds Antoinette Davis criminally responsible for her daughter's kidnapping.
"There has been no newly discovered evidence or information that would justify this action," the motion said.
Davis is not facing the death penalty.
