I created a loose budget of $30 per day for my entire trip in Southeast Asia and, without trying too hard, I nailed that number almost exactly. My monthly total, divided by the 31 days I spent in Thailand, works out to less than $30 per day. Not too shabby! Many people spend a lot more than that on a single month’s rent. Which brings me to my next point: it’s a common belief that travel is incredibly expensive, and can cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Content: When it comes down to a difference of a dollar or two, I don’t mind spending that little bit extra. In 31 days I spent THB5,150 or $142 in an entire month. This works out to about $35 per week or $5 per day. How’s that for rent!? Beach views on Koh Tao
The Cost of Food and Drink in Thailand
In one full month in Thailand, I spent THB7,392 on food, or about $225. This works out to a daily average of $6.50, or $2.20 per meal! Many people in western countries will spend $50 on food per day from eating out; on average, I spent $46 per week! This number does not reflect the price of alcohol, except for the occasional beer with dinner. Should you choose to drink regularly, which many travelers do, expect your number to be significantly higher.

This number does not reflect the price of alcohol, except for the occasional beer with dinner. Should you choose to drink regularly, which many travelers do, expect your number to be significantly higher. Most meals consisted of local street food like noodles and curries. Of course, sometimes I splurged on $10 meals, which usually come in the form of western food, but that didn’t happen often. As a rule, a beer and a bowl of noodles (or plate of rice) will cost you two or three bucks. This is fairly standard pricing in Asia. I should also point out that I drink coffee on a pretty regular basis, and those costs have been included in these numbers.

Content: Everything considered I think my average cost was pretty reasonable. I spent THB8,920 in 31 days, or $245. This is $61.25 per week or $8 per day! This number could easily be reduced by choosing to arrange inter-city transportation on your own. Many guesthouses and transportation agencies charge an inflated amount and then simply transport you to the public bus. If you arrange your own transportation directly at the bus (or train) station, expect to spend less. Just remember, this isn’t always easy if you’re in a foreign country where everyone speaks a different language! Riding in a tuk-tuk in Bangkok
Budget for Activities & Entertainment
Throughout the month I also recorded my expenditures for activities and entertainment in Thailand. This included everything from temple entry fees to rock climbing to boat cruises. I visited hot springs, went trekking in the jungle, wandered through temples, drank beer on boats and got plenty of Thai massages!

Indian Civil Rights Act
What is the Indian Civil Rights Act? Native Nations, whose political systems and traditions predate the United States and the passage of the Constitution, never agreed to any of the terms in the Constitution, including the Bill of Rights. This idea that tribes were not subject to limitation by the Bill of Rights because of their established sovereignty was most clearly communicated in Talton v. Mayes, 163 U.S. 376 (1896). In Talton, the Supreme Court held that Native Nations are “distinct, independent political communities” and found that tribal governments and their courts were not subject to Fifth Amendment limitations applicable to federal and state governments because of their distinctiveness that predates the Constitution. During the Civil Rights era, members of Congress became concerned about American Indian civil rights in Indian country. However, American Indian individuals and groups like the American Indian Movement were concerned about American Indian rights violations by federal and state authorities. The concerns of Congress, violations by tribal authorities, are addressed in Indian Civil Rights Act, which passed in 1968. ( 25 U.S.C.§§ 1301-1304)

Content: The Duro decision held that tribal courts lack criminal jurisdiction over non-member Indians. Congress overturned the Duro decision (the so-called Congressional " Duro -fix") by adding the language "…and means the inherent power of Indian tribes, hereby recognized and affirmed, to exercise criminal jurisdiction over all Indians" to the definition of "powers of self-government." This Congressional Duro -fix restored tribal court criminal jurisdiction over all Indians (members and non-members). 25 U.S.C. §1301 Definitions
For the purposes of this subchapter, the term –
(2) “powers of self-government” means and includes all governmental powers possessed by an Indian tribe, executive, legislative, and judicial, and all offices, bodies, and tribunals by and through which they are executed, including courts of Indian offenses; and means the inherent power of Indian tribes, hereby recognized and affirmed, to exercise criminal jurisdiction over all Indians; 2010 - Tribal Law and Order Act (TLOA)
The Indian Civil Rights Act (ICRA) was amended for the third time in 2010 by the Tribal Law and Order Act (TLOA). TLOA was passed with the goal to improve public safety and justice systems in Indian country in response to significant rates of violent crime. Most notably, TLOA amends ICRA by expanding the limitations on the term of imprisonment from one year to three years, and fines, from $5,000 to $15,000, that can be imposed on defendants convicted in tribal court. However, to impose these "enhanced sentencing" options, tribal courts must provide certain additional, enumerated due process protections. These include:

2013 – Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)
The Indian Civil Rights Act (ICRA) was amended for the fourth time in 2013 in order to partially overturn the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Oliphant v. Suquamish Indian Tribe, 435 U.S. 191 (1978). Oliphant held that tribal courts lack criminal jurisdiction over non-Indian defendants. Congress partially overturned the Oliphant decision in the re-authorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) of 2013. Title IX of the VAWA Act, among other provisions, provided for "special domestic violence criminal jurisdiction" to tribal courts over non-Indian offenders who commit domestic violence, dating violence, or violate a protection order. However, to utilize this special domestic violence criminal jurisdiction, tribal courts will have to provide certain enumerated due process protections. These include all TLOA due process protections (even if tribes do not impose the enhanced sentencing options), as well as several additional due process protections including the right to an impartial jury.

Indian Civil Rights Act as Amended by the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013
Enforcement of ICRA
For ten years after its passage in 1968, the general perception was that the Indian Civil Right Act (ICRA) gave the federal courts broad powers to hear and decide claims of civil rights violations by tribal governments. This changed dramatically, however, in 1978 with the U. S. Supreme Court decision in Santa Clara Pueblo v. Martinez, 439 U.S. 49 (1978). During the ten-year period from ICRA’s passage to the Martinez decision, federal courts heard Approximately Eighty Cases involving the application of the ICRA. These cases covered many subjects: tribal election disputes;

Also, during this period, the federal courts devised rules of interpretation, including: While the ICRA is generally patterned after the Bill of Rights, the same language does not necessarily have to be interpreted in the same way; The ICRA does not require that Indians and non-Indians must be treated identically by tribal governments, that is, different treatment is permitted and justified in certain circumstances (for example, tribal membership requirements); Tribal customs, traditions, and culture must be considered in interpreting and applying the ICRA; and
Tribal remedies must first be exhausted before a dispute can be heard in federal court.

Content: equal rights for women on one side; a tribe’s rights to set membership criteria on the other side. The Supreme Court in Martinez never actually decided the merits of the case. It disposed of the case on a jurisdictional basis; that is, that the ICRA does not give federal courts broad jurisdiction to review tribal government actions in Indian country. Thus, Ms. Martinez’s challenge to the tribal ordinance could not go forward. In reaching this conclusion, the Court noted that there were two purposes that Congress had in mind in enacting the ICRA: Protection of individual civil rights in Indian country. It did this by prohibiting tribal governments from taking actions that might interfere with individual freedoms. Encouragement of tribal self-government.

It did this by prohibiting tribal governments from taking actions that might interfere with individual freedoms. Encouragement of tribal self-government. It did this by implicitly recognizing the importance of tribal governments on reservations, reaffirming the idea of sovereign immunity as applied to Indian tribes, and giving tribal institutions the principal responsibility for resolving disputes over civil rights. In Martinez, the Supreme Court interpreted ICRA as not giving the federal court any power to review any complaints of ICRA violations by a tribal government except those arising as writ of habeas corpus actions—complaints of unlawful detention raised by individuals being held in tribal custody. The decision held that violations of all the other rights guaranteed under the ICRA, including equal protection rights, fell under tribal jurisdiction, and thus could only be brought in tribal court.

General Guide to Criminal Jurisdiction in Indian Country
Content: Indian tribes - as sovereign nations - historically have inherent jurisdictional power over everything occurring within their territory. Tribal courts are courts of general jurisdiction which continue to have broad criminal jurisdiction. Any analysis of tribal criminal jurisdiction should begin with this sovereign authority and determine whether there has been any way in which this broad sovereign authority had been reduced (see below). Federal or State Concurrent Jurisdiction: Congress has granted limited jurisdictional authority to the federal courts (under the General Crimes Act and the Major Crimes Act) and to state courts (under Public Law 280 ). It is important, however, to note that tribal courts maintain concurrent (or joint) criminal jurisdiction. Criminal Jurisdiction over Non-Indians: The U.S. Supreme Court decision Oliphant v. Suquamish Indian Tribe, 435 U.S. 191 (1978) limits the ability of Native Nations to try and punish non-Indians. Under this decision, Native Nations generally do not have jurisdiction to prosecute non-Indians. The Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization of 2013 slightly modified this decision however.

This page provides general contact information for the justice systems of tribal nations. Also see Tribal Constitutions , Tribal Codes, and Tribal Case Law for links to tribal justice system materials. Tribal justice systems are critical components of the tribal government. They are empowered to resolve conflict and controversy. Prior to European contact, native people practiced various forms of meaningful and productive conflict and dispute resolution. Tribal member participation in the debate of issues and in the defense of the alleged was not just allowed, it was expected. Unfortunately, these tribal methods were unfamiliar to the settlers and were often discounted and even discouraged. Tribes have always had, and continue to retain the sovereign authority to establish and operate their own tribal justice systems. In 1934, with the enactment of the Indian Reorganization Act (25 U.S.C.A. § 461, et. seq.),

Northwest Coast Indians
The phrase Northwest Coast Indians is used to reference the Native American tribes that were originally found to be living in the areas that would eventually become Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and California. There were a large number of tribes amongst the Northwest Coast Indians, including the Spokane, the Salish, the Nootka, the Haida, the Bella Coola, and the Tsimshian. The populations of the Northwest Coast Indiansrose to more than 100,000 due to the abundance of natural resources in the region, greater than anywhere else in the United States or even all of North America. Because of this they were considered the richest of Native Americans. Like other non-nomadic tribes, Northwest Coast Indianswere known to build longhouses, though they used wide planks of cedar to build them. Larger longhouses could host multiple families, however if a single person built one for his or her family then it was burnt down upon their death, in the fear that the spirit of the owner would remain trapped inside of their home. The Northwest Coast Indianseventually changed from purely oral traditions to using the totem pole to pass down their stories and ways. They did not invent the idea of the totem pole; however upon seeing them through trade they liked them so much it became an important symbol of their culture.

Even today the totem pole is a major symbol of Native Americantradition. Related Stories: Share This Page with Your Friends

A Brief History of Tribal Courts
Since time immemorial, Native American and Alaska Native tribes have been keeping the peace and administering justice in their homelands through the use of their own ancient laws, traditions and customs. Historically, the United States federal government has recognized the inherent sovereignty of Indian nations to �make their own laws and to be ruled by them. � (Williams v. Lee, 358 U.S. 217, 1958.) Traditionally, most tribes resolved disputes and addressed criminal activity by consensus, not by an adversarial system, as do Anglo-Americans. While each of the more than 560 federally recognized tribes in the U.S. possesses traditional methods of dispute resolution, formal court institutions are a relatively recent development in Indian Country. The development of tribal courts as they are now known can be traced to a case arising in the 1880�s on land that is now the Rosebud Sioux reservation in South Dakota, when a Lakota tribal member, Crow Dog, killed a fellow tribal member, Spotted Tail. At the time, there was no formal court system utilized by the Lakota people. Utilizing traditional methods of dispute resolution, the tribe required Crow Dog to provide restitution to Spotted Tail�s family in the form of goods and provisions. Although the victim�s family was satisfied with the resolution, in the eyes of the federal government, the tribal approach did not inflict what it thought was appropriate punishment. As a consequence, the Department of the Interior, the federal agency responsible for directing Indian affairs, set up �Court of Indian Offenses� to handle less serious criminal offenses and to resolve disputes between tribal members through the application of federal law and regulations-not tribal law or custom.

Due to lack of financial resources, many smaller tribes could not afford to operate their own tribal courts and retained the CFR courts operated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. There are approximately 23 CFR courts still in existence. Approximately 275 Indian nations and Alaska Native villages have established formal tribal court systems.

An increasing number of tribes are returning to their traditional means of resolving disputes through the use of peacemaking, elders� councils and sentencing circles. Each tribe, in developing its justice system, confronts three considerations: ( 1) Is our justice system effective in reaching prompt, long-term resolutions to disputes? (

Yes Elle, but where are you coming from. Thailand is cheap , but how long is a piece of string. You can eat out at night markets where delicious food is cooked in front of you for less than 100 baht. Restaurants as in your country range in price but 500 baht would be more than enough for a meal, in many cases 250 baht would suffice. You have not mentioned where you are staying but you mention visiting PhiPhi [VT member 13ac74] suggests you are staying in Phuket or Krabi area. Phuket is one of the more expensive touristy places to stay but still relatively cheap Just follow the good advice from Homer and search on the internet for the tours that you are interested in and see the prices. answered on 3/10/13 by

ON THE SAFE SIDE, i BRING 100 per day and what ever you save is up to you. Stash a extra 100 usd on yourself for mad money or emergency backup, or a credit card will do. Yes, Thailand is cheap, but you are on vacation, so treat yourself to some luxury treats, like a spa treatment, massage, zip line jungle tour, flight of gibbons,Seafood is great there too if by the water. You can eat out as cheap as a buck and a half of go high on the hog and spend ten bucks...Thailand leaves you many choices.

As said eqrlier, it depends. Yesterday evening I took beer from 30 to 70 bahts, dinner for two was 1000 (half drinks, wine is expensive). But you can do with less on the streets, a hundred dollars for two is quite ok for normal expenses. I am currently in Hua Hin.

All tourists don't spend money the same way. Phuket may be the most expensive city area in Thailand but some really cheap people like me can find places to eat at and things to do that fit my spending preferences. Then there are tourists that routinely choose fancy places to eat and drink at every where they go. Different folks different strokes! Have at least the same amount of money for discretionary spending that you spend for your hotel each day.

Yes Thailand is cheap compared to many travel destinations and with a budget of 100 USD per day for two people would give you enough flexibility. On some days you may even spend less than that and for the remainin days you will have some extra to splurge. You can check some of my pages, the links are provided below. Enjoy it :)

I am sorry, I am using my mobile and edited the answer and it seemed to disappear. i was just describing the issue, you can spend anything between 60 to 1200 for dinner. We had just a 60 baths (2$) dinner in a street food stand. It was not our intention, but we were walking around our hotel's corners and went were locals spend the evening. Easy to balance your budget, take drinks from 7-11 (it was just on the opposite side of the street) and enjoy tasty and cheap food. I write a tip of that later when home.

The return of the female serial killer 2
As Joanna Dennehy begins a life sentence for the killing of three men, Debbie Cameron considers the way she has been represented and reflects on the meaning of her crimes
‘I murdered three men, but it could have been worse—I could have been fat and ugly ’. If this line had been spoken by a fictional character we could read it as feminist satire. But in fact the words were recorded in an English police station during an interview with Joanna Dennehy, a 32-year old woman accused of stabbing three men to death and attempting to kill two more. In court she pleaded guilty to all the charges against her, and last month she was sentenced to a whole-life term in prison. Predictably, Joanna Dennehy’s case unleashed a tsunami of media commentary on the subject of ‘the female serial killer’. I last wrote about this mythical figure in 1996, following the trial of Rosemary West. Now, almost 20 years later, she is back in the news, and it seems there might be something new to say about her. Mythologizing murder
When I refer to ‘the female serial killer’ as a ‘mythical figure’, I don’t mean to imply that she does not exist at all. But discussions of ‘the female serial killer’ as a ‘type’ give the impression that the examples we have heard of are just the visible tip of some vast hidden iceberg. That is a myth.

In reality, as opposed to fiction, serial killing is a rare crime, committed by few individuals of either sex. And among those few individuals, the number of women is negligible. Before Joanna Dennehy, Britain had produced only two examples of the ‘female serial killer’—Myra Hindley and Rosemary West—in the space of fifty years. The other way in which ‘the female serial killer’ is mythologized is through the stories which are told about her—stories about who she is, why she kills, and above all what her killing has to do with her femaleness. Male serial killers are also mythologized, but without the same obsessive focus on their gender.

In 1995, the FBI profiler Robert Ressler, then regarded as the world’s leading expert on serial killers, declared that to his knowledge there had only ever been one ‘true’ female serial killer, Aileen Wuornos. It is open to question whether Wuornos really fits the prototype, since her motive for killing may have been self-defence rather than self-gratification. She was a prostitute, and at her trial she claimed that the seven men she shot were punters who had attempted to rape her. ( Except in one case, this defence was rejected:

Joanna Dennehy’s story

Cognitive dissonance
The sexual politics of serial killing
Content: She has routinely been portrayed as ‘more evil’ than her male partner, and is often imagined as the ‘power behind the throne’, the one who instigated the killings even if she did not carry them out. This demonizing narrative is particularly strong in cases where the victims are children (as were all of Brady and Hindley’s and some of Fred and Rose West’s). Women who participate in the abuse and killing of children are ‘monsters’, lacking the instinct to nurture and protect which is seen as a defining feature of normal femininity. This is what makes them ‘more evil’ than the men: they are not just a disgrace to humanity at large, but traitors to their sex. Media coverage of the Dennehy case has made the inevitable comparisons with Myra Hindley and Rose West, but Joanna Dennehy’s story is clearly different from theirs, and even from Aileen Wuornos’s. Dennehy’s statement ‘I murdered three men’ was a direct and unequivocal assertion of her sole responsibility for the killings, while the ‘joke’ that followed (‘it could have been worse—I could have been fat and ugly’) made clear that she felt no urge to apologise, nor to claim, as Wuornos did, that there were mitigating circumstances. That defiant flippancy might in theory have prompted commentators to demonize her as a ‘man-hater’, but interestingly the question of her attitudes to men did not feature prominently in the reporting of her case. ( I will return later on to this rather surprising omission). Instead, what was emphasized was her clinical status as a ‘psychopath’, who also suffered from ‘anti-social personality disorder’ and ‘paraphilia sadomasochism’.

The sexual politics of serial killing
Content: The label ‘psychopath’ has a long history of being applied to sadistic killers, but it has never been much of an explanation for their crimes. There are many people who fit the clinical profile of a psychopath in the general population: rather than becoming violent criminals, some make successful careers in fields like high finance, where traits like amorality, risk-taking and lack of empathy are helpful rather than dysfunctional. But the suggestion that psychopathy is more relevant to Joanna Dennehy’s story than gender is interesting for another reason. Though the term ‘psychopath’ is formally gender inclusive, it tends to conjure up a male prototype. The behaviours and qualities we associate with psychopaths, such as rule-breaking, risk-taking, emotional coldness and insensitivity to others’ feelings, are all culturally coded as masculine. Manifested in less extreme forms, they are actually considered ‘normal’ qualities for men to exhibit—but not for women, which is one reason why women who do exhibit them tend to be demonized as ‘worse than men’. Arguably, insisting that Joanna Dennehy should be thought of as a ‘psychopath’ rather than a ‘female serial killer’ is not so much a de-gendering as a re-gendering of her crimes, a way of masculinising her without using explicitly gendered language. It avoids the usual tendency to make a female killer’s femaleness the only important thing about her, but it does so at the cost of obscuring her femaleness entirely. Later on I will say why I think this strategy was found necessary in Dennehy’s case.

Often, especially when a tribe is in urgent need of leadership, such as attack by other tribes or dealing with some natural calamities, a person emerges from among them who is the most capable of being a leader due to his personal abilities, and people naturally follow him. The availability of such leaders is, however, pure luck (or an Act of God). In all nations and religions there are prayers for wise and capable leaders, but they are seldom answered, and people have to resign to being lead by vain opportunists, who rely on demagogy to keep themselves in power. 3. Legitimization of Government Status by Popular Support -----

Some people aspiring to leadership have greater popular appeal than others, they might be charismatic, photogenic, or just skillful demagogues. Hitler is an example of such popular leader. 4. Legitimization of Government Status by Hereditary Succession -----

Once a leader is established, his leadership could be passed on his death to his children by hereditary succession.

Content: Although a rise in women’s turnout has spurred these gains, men are now more willing to vote for women candidates than ever before. Ironically, because many “feminist” ideas are now taken for granted, few women today think of themselves as “feminists.” According to a 2009 poll conducted by CBS News, only 24 percent of American women identify themselves as feminists. But once the word was defined as someone who believes in social, political and economic equality of the sexes, the figure jumped to 65 percent. Friedan – who died in 2006 at age 85 – would no doubt be proud of the progressive changes that her book and activism inspired, but she’d be the first to note that full women’s equality has still not been achieved. For example, women represent only 3.6 percent of the CEOs of Fortune 500 corporations. Like 50 years ago, women today are more likely than men to be poor. The US is one of the few affluent countries that does not require paid maternity leave or provide universal child care. The Feminine Mystique began as a simple questionnaire. In 1957 Friedan and two friends prepared a survey of their Smith College classmates prior to their 15th reunion.

Headings: UN Human Rights Committee Finds US in Violation on 25 Counts
News Analysis
UN Human Rights Committee Finds US in Violation on 25 Counts
Accountability for Bush-Era Crimes; Torture
Of the report’s 25 issues, four looked at racial disparities within the United States’ criminal justice system and law enforcement practices.
Racism in the Prison System; Racial Profiling; Police Brutality
Drone Strikes, Assassination
So far, US drone strikes and other covert operations have killed between 2,700 and nearly 5,000 people.
Guantanamo, Indefinite Detention
Indefinite detention violates international human rights law, but has been embraced by Obama ever since he stepped into the White House.
NSA Surveillance
Criminalizing the Homeless
Clean Your Own Backyard
Adam Hudson
Content: More than 60 percent of the US prison population are people of color. African Americans, while 13 percent of the national population, constitute nearly 40 percent of the prison population. Moreover, one in every three black males can expect to go to prison in their lifetime, compared to one in every six Latino males, and one in every 17 white males. Thus, black men are six times more likely to be incarcerated than white men. Even though whites and blacks use drugs at roughly the same rates, African Americans are more likely to be imprisoned for drug-related offenses than whites. Every 28 hours, a black person is killed by a police officer, security guard, or self-appointed vigilante, according to a report by the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement. Recently in New York City, NYPD brutalized two teenage African-American girls at a Chinese restaurant in Brooklyn. A 16-year-old girl’s face was slammed against the floor, while police threw the 15-year-old through the restaurant’s window, shattering it as a result. The incident started when police ordered everyone to leave the restaurant, but one of the girls refused. While police violence against people of color has long existed, the militarization of American police exacerbates this trend.

Title: How to Repair Connective Tissue: Clients often present to clinic with conditions which unfortunately won’t heal with one gentle tweak! In many cases qualified practitioners will recommend ‘additionals’ to assist the healing process. I am often asked ‘why and how’ regarding these supplements, so I am offering a bit of background information……… Mature connective tissue is subdivided into several kinds: loose connective tissue = strength support and flexibility (skin, mucous membranes, blood vessels, nerves, surrounding body organs) dense connective tissue = strength (regular e.g. tendons-attach muscle to bone, ligaments-attach bone to bone; irregular e.g. fascia, joint capsules, heart valves), osseous tissue = cartilage, bone vascular tissue= blood The primary factors which affect repair are: Age, Circulation and Nutrition. Generally tissue heals faster and better in the young, who possess a better nutritional state and blood supply as well as a faster cellular metabolic rate which can synthesise needed materials and divide more quickly. In tissue repair efficient blood circulation is essential to transport oxygen, nutrients, antibodies, and many defensive cells to the site. Blood also plays an important role in the removal of tissue fluid, bacteria, foreign bodies and debris. These elements would otherwise interfere with healing. Therefore, the better the blood supply, the more efficient the healing. Connective tissue is generally highly vascular however tendons only have a scant supply and cartilage is avascular and slow growing. Therefore these can take longer to heal. Bone in contrast has a rich blood supply and heals much more quickly. Good nutrition is vital as repair places a great demand on the body's stores of nutrients. Adequate protein is important as most of the cell structure is made from proteins. Also involved are a diverse range of vitamins and minerals. Vitamins play a direct role in wound healing. A - essential in the replacement of epithelial tissues, especially the respiratory tract. B group ... thiamine, nicotinic acid, riboflavin - are coenzymes needed by many enzyme systems in cells. They assist in pain relief and are necessary for the division of cells that accomplish repair. Nicotinamide in particular has been found to improve joint mobility and enhance the repair of damaged articular surfaces. C - retards the erosion of cartilage. It directly affects the normal production and maintenance of matrix materials, especially collagen and strengthens and promotes the formation of new blood vessels. It also increases the synthesis of the endogenous glycosaminoglycans such as chondroitin sulphate, that are necessary to repair damaged joints. A deficiency can result in even superficial wounds failing to heal and the walls of the blood vessels becoming fragile and easily ruptured. Antioxidants like vitamin C also mop up excessive free radicals that have been implicated in the development of arthritis. Bioflavonoids are produced by plants in their photosynthesising cells, and are commonly found in vitamin C-rich foods. They are responsible for the majority of the yellow, red and blue pigmentation in plants. They can reverse connective tissue damage by enhancing the synthesis of collagen and may also reduce the pain of the condition. Bioflavonoids are involved in the maintenance of small blood vessel wall integrity, and are able to reverse capillary fragility. Improved capillary integrity has many clinical benefits- reduction of pain, inflammation, bleeding, bruising, and oedema due to injury. Zinc is an essential cofactor in the production of connective tissue, cartilage and bone, and has been shown to help arthritic conditions. Zinc is one of the minerals (with copper and manganese) necessary to produce vital antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) - active in the neutralisation of free radical activity and inflammation in joint tissue. D - necessary for the proper absorption of calcium from the intestine. Calcium gives bones their hardness and is necessary for the healing of fractures. D3 activates osteoblasts to increase bone metabolism and repair. E - antioxidant. Important to the maintenance and protection of cell membranes, promoting the healing of injured tissues and believed to prevent scarring K - is needed for the production of certain proteins that participate in blood clotting and thus prevents the injured person from bleeding to death. There is also increasing evidence indicating a significant role for vitamin K in bone metabolism and osteoporosis. Osteocalcin is a protein specifically produced by the osteoblasts, and is utilised within the bone as an integral part of the process of its formation. Vitamin K functions as a cofactor for the enzyme that assists in the formation of osteocalcin. Therefore vitamin K helps "glue" the calcium directly into the bone matrix. Glucosamine Sulphate - Cartilage consists of a dense network of collagen fibres and elastic fibres firmly embedded in chondroitin sulphate - a jelly-like substance that provides support and adhesiveness in cartilage, bone, the skin and blood vessels. The strength of cartilage is due to collagen fibres, its resilience is due to chondroitin sulphate. Glucosamine is a natural component of cartilage (it is also the main component of chondroitin sulphate). As an essential component of the connective tissue matrix of ligaments and tendons, it is involved in preserving joint structure. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a highly biologically valuable source of sulphur. Sulphur is important for joint tissue support, as it assists in the management of inflammation and promotes the formation of collagen and healthy cartilage. WATER - Loss of water results in a decrease in volume of blood plasma … oxygen and other nutrients can't be efficiently delivered to the brain and other tissues. A fall in volume reduces pressure, leading to inability of the heart to pump vital nutrients to the brain and other tissues (7-10% water loss can lead to hallucinations and heat stroke 5% can lead to cramps). Water is required for dissolving and eliminating waste; maintaining the circulatory system; supporting the activity of enzymes and functioning of all cell membrane components; dispersing and dissolving nutrients and nutrient carriers in the body. Calcium is essential for the building and maintenance of all bones and teeth. The nerves transmission of impulses requires calcium with magnesium and potassium. The body's electrolyte balance and blood pH are regulated by calcium, as are the kidneys. Calcium has also shown the ability to protect against heavy metal toxicity, particularly through inhibition of absorption by osseous tissue. Muscle growth and health is facilitated by calcium, whilst a deficiency may result in pain and muscle cramps. Maintenance of cell permeability and regulation of blood coagulation are also dependent on this mineral. Magnesium has been called "the action mineral." This is due largely to its role as a co-factor and triggering mineral in enzyme systems, particularly in the metabolism of glucose and the creation of cell energy Neuromuscular control and contraction relies on magnesium, as does the health and integrity of the nervous system, particularly nerve impulse transmission. Where levels are low, irritability and nervousness occur. Evidence suggests that magnesium (along with calcium), can help to protect against the development of heart disease and high blood pressure, as it plays a part in vasodilation of blood vessels and the overall integrity of cardiac function. This mineral is required for the proper utilisation of the B complex vitamins, as well as vitamins C and E, calcium, phosphorus, sodium and potassium. The acid-alkali balance of the body, the regulation of body temperature, the building and maintenance of bone and the inhibition of platelet aggregation are other areas where magnesium is essential. Manganese enhances bone growth and repair through stimulating osteoblasts and suppressing osteoclast activity. ALSO….. Anti-inflammatory agents such as quercetin, can help to remove the products of free radical stress at the site of inflammation. Herbal antioxidants such as Grape seed (Vitis Vinifera) and Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis) support normal metabolic processes and detoxification. Homoeopathic preparations of herbs such as Arnica Montana, Bryonia Alba and Rhus Toxicodendron may be of use in reducing pain, inflammation and accelerating healing with stress fractures. These are just a few, there is quite a range, some more relevant to specific injuries than others, therefore it is wise to consult a professional therapist to help you decide which is the most appropriate for your particular condition. FINALLY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY…….. TAKE IT EASY AND ALLOW YOUR BODY TIME TO HEAL!!!! Back to Homepage Back to Information Index

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a highly biologically valuable source of sulphur. Sulphur is important for joint tissue support, as it assists in the management of inflammation and promotes the formation of collagen and healthy cartilage. WATER - Loss of water results in a decrease in volume of blood plasma … oxygen and other nutrients can't be efficiently delivered to the brain and other tissues. A fall in volume reduces pressure, leading to inability of the heart to pump vital nutrients to the brain and other tissues (7-10% water loss can lead to hallucinations and heat stroke 5% can lead to cramps). Water is required for dissolving and eliminating waste; maintaining the circulatory system; supporting the activity of enzymes and functioning of all cell membrane components; dispersing and dissolving nutrients and nutrient carriers in the body. Calcium is essential for the building and maintenance of all bones and teeth. The nerves transmission of impulses requires calcium with magnesium and potassium. The body's electrolyte balance and blood pH are regulated by calcium, as are the kidneys. Calcium has also shown the ability to protect against heavy metal toxicity, particularly through inhibition of absorption by osseous tissue. Muscle growth and health is facilitated by calcium, whilst a deficiency may result in pain and muscle cramps. Maintenance of cell permeability and regulation of blood coagulation are also dependent on this mineral. Magnesium has been called "the action mineral." This is due largely to its role as a co-factor and triggering mineral in enzyme systems, particularly in the metabolism of glucose and the creation of cell energy Neuromuscular control and contraction relies on magnesium, as does the health and integrity of the nervous system, particularly nerve impulse transmission. Where levels are low, irritability and nervousness occur. Evidence suggests that magnesium (along with calcium), can help to protect against the development of heart disease and high blood pressure, as it plays a part in vasodilation of blood vessels and the overall integrity of cardiac function. This mineral is required for the proper utilisation of the B complex vitamins, as well as vitamins C and E, calcium, phosphorus, sodium and potassium. The acid-alkali balance of the body, the regulation of body temperature, the building and maintenance of bone and the inhibition of platelet aggregation are other areas where magnesium is essential. Manganese enhances bone growth and repair through stimulating osteoblasts and suppressing osteoclast activity. ALSO….. Anti-inflammatory agents such as quercetin, can help to remove the products of free radical stress at the site of inflammation. Herbal antioxidants such as Grape seed (Vitis Vinifera) and Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis) support normal metabolic processes and detoxification. Homoeopathic preparations of herbs such as Arnica Montana, Bryonia Alba and Rhus Toxicodendron may be of use in reducing pain, inflammation and accelerating healing with stress fractures. These are just a few, there is quite a range, some more relevant to specific injuries than others, therefore it is wise to consult a professional therapist to help you decide which is the most appropriate for your particular condition.

Content: Good nutrition is vital as repair places a great demand on the body's stores of nutrients. Adequate protein is important as most of the cell structure is made from proteins. Also involved are a diverse range of vitamins and minerals. Vitamins play a direct role in wound healing. A - essential in the replacement of epithelial tissues, especially the respiratory tract. B group ... thiamine, nicotinic acid, riboflavin - are coenzymes needed by many enzyme systems in cells. They assist in pain relief and are necessary for the division of cells that accomplish repair. Nicotinamide in particular has been found to improve joint mobility and enhance the repair of damaged articular surfaces. C - retards the erosion of cartilage. It directly affects the normal production and maintenance of matrix materials, especially collagen and strengthens and promotes the formation of new blood vessels.

Title: How to Repair Connective Tissue: Clients often present to clinic with conditions which unfortunately won’t heal with one gentle tweak! In many cases qualified practitioners will recommend ‘additionals’ to assist the healing process. I am often asked ‘why and how’ regarding these supplements, so I am offering a bit of background information……… Mature connective tissue is subdivided into several kinds: loose connective tissue = strength support and flexibility (skin, mucous membranes, blood vessels, nerves, surrounding body organs) dense connective tissue = strength (regular e.g. tendons-attach muscle to bone, ligaments-attach bone to bone; irregular e.g. fascia, joint capsules, heart valves), osseous tissue = cartilage, bone vascular tissue= blood The primary factors which affect repair are: Age, Circulation and Nutrition. Generally tissue heals faster and better in the young, who possess a better nutritional state and blood supply as well as a faster cellular metabolic rate which can synthesise needed materials and divide more quickly. In tissue repair efficient blood circulation is essential to transport oxygen, nutrients, antibodies, and many defensive cells to the site. Blood also plays an important role in the removal of tissue fluid, bacteria, foreign bodies and debris. These elements would otherwise interfere with healing. Therefore, the better the blood supply, the more efficient the healing. Connective tissue is generally highly vascular however tendons only have a scant supply and cartilage is avascular and slow growing. Therefore these can take longer to heal. Bone in contrast has a rich blood supply and heals much more quickly. Good nutrition is vital as repair places a great demand on the body's stores of nutrients. Adequate protein is important as most of the cell structure is made from proteins. Also involved are a diverse range of vitamins and minerals. Vitamins play a direct role in wound healing.

Nicotinamide in particular has been found to improve joint mobility and enhance the repair of damaged articular surfaces. C - retards the erosion of cartilage. It directly affects the normal production and maintenance of matrix materials, especially collagen and strengthens and promotes the formation of new blood vessels. It also increases the synthesis of the endogenous glycosaminoglycans such as chondroitin sulphate, that are necessary to repair damaged joints. A deficiency can result in even superficial wounds failing to heal and the walls of the blood vessels becoming fragile and easily ruptured. Antioxidants like vitamin C also mop up excessive free radicals that have been implicated in the development of arthritis. Bioflavonoids are produced by plants in their photosynthesising cells, and are commonly found in vitamin C-rich foods. They are responsible for the majority of the yellow, red and blue pigmentation in plants. They can reverse connective tissue damage by enhancing the synthesis of collagen and may also reduce the pain of the condition. Bioflavonoids are involved in the maintenance of small blood vessel wall integrity, and are able to reverse capillary fragility. Improved capillary integrity has many clinical benefits- reduction of pain, inflammation, bleeding, bruising, and oedema due to injury. Zinc is an essential cofactor in the production of connective tissue, cartilage and bone, and has been shown to help arthritic conditions. Zinc is one of the minerals (with copper and manganese) necessary to produce vital antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) - active in the neutralisation of free radical activity and inflammation in joint tissue. D - necessary for the proper absorption of calcium from the intestine. Calcium gives bones their hardness and is necessary for the healing of fractures. D3 activates osteoblasts to increase bone metabolism and repair. E - antioxidant. Important to the maintenance and protection of cell membranes, promoting the healing of injured tissues and believed to prevent scarring K - is needed for the production of certain proteins that participate in blood clotting and thus prevents the injured person from bleeding to death. There is also increasing evidence indicating a significant role for vitamin K in bone metabolism and osteoporosis. Osteocalcin is a protein specifically produced by the osteoblasts, and is utilised within the bone as an integral part of the process of its formation. Vitamin K functions as a cofactor for the enzyme that assists in the formation of osteocalcin. Therefore vitamin K helps "glue" the calcium directly into the bone matrix. Glucosamine Sulphate - Cartilage consists of a dense network of collagen fibres and elastic fibres firmly embedded in chondroitin sulphate - a jelly-like substance that provides support and adhesiveness in cartilage, bone, the skin and blood vessels. The strength of cartilage is due to collagen fibres, its resilience is due to chondroitin sulphate.

Osteocalcin is a protein specifically produced by the osteoblasts, and is utilised within the bone as an integral part of the process of its formation. Vitamin K functions as a cofactor for the enzyme that assists in the formation of osteocalcin. Therefore vitamin K helps "glue" the calcium directly into the bone matrix. Glucosamine Sulphate - Cartilage consists of a dense network of collagen fibres and elastic fibres firmly embedded in chondroitin sulphate - a jelly-like substance that provides support and adhesiveness in cartilage, bone, the skin and blood vessels. The strength of cartilage is due to collagen fibres, its resilience is due to chondroitin sulphate. Glucosamine is a natural component of cartilage (it is also the main component of chondroitin sulphate). As an essential component of the connective tissue matrix of ligaments and tendons, it is involved in preserving joint structure. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a highly biologically valuable source of sulphur. Sulphur is important for joint tissue support, as it assists in the management of inflammation and promotes the formation of collagen and healthy cartilage. WATER - Loss of water results in a decrease in volume of blood plasma … oxygen and other nutrients can't be efficiently delivered to the brain and other tissues. A fall in volume reduces pressure, leading to inability of the heart to pump vital nutrients to the brain and other tissues (7-10% water loss can lead to hallucinations and heat stroke 5% can lead to cramps). Water is required for dissolving and eliminating waste; maintaining the circulatory system; supporting the activity of enzymes and functioning of all cell membrane components; dispersing and dissolving nutrients and nutrient carriers in the body. Calcium is essential for the building and maintenance of all bones and teeth. The nerves transmission of impulses requires calcium with magnesium and potassium. The body's electrolyte balance and blood pH are regulated by calcium, as are the kidneys. Calcium has also shown the ability to protect against heavy metal toxicity, particularly through inhibition of absorption by osseous tissue. Muscle growth and health is facilitated by calcium, whilst a deficiency may result in pain and muscle cramps. Maintenance of cell permeability and regulation of blood coagulation are also dependent on this mineral. Magnesium has been called "the action mineral." This is due largely to its role as a co-factor and triggering mineral in enzyme systems, particularly in the metabolism of glucose and the creation of cell energy Neuromuscular control and contraction relies on magnesium, as does the health and integrity of the nervous system, particularly nerve impulse transmission. Where levels are low, irritability and nervousness occur. Evidence suggests that magnesium (along with calcium), can help to protect against the development of heart disease and high blood pressure, as it plays a part in vasodilation of blood vessels and the overall integrity of cardiac function. This mineral is required for the proper utilisation of the B complex vitamins, as well as vitamins C and E, calcium, phosphorus, sodium and potassium. The acid-alkali balance of the body, the regulation of body temperature, the building and maintenance of bone and the inhibition of platelet aggregation are other areas where magnesium is essential. Manganese enhances bone growth and repair through stimulating osteoblasts and suppressing osteoclast activity. ALSO….. Anti-inflammatory agents such as quercetin, can help to remove the products of free radical stress at the site of inflammation. Herbal antioxidants such as Grape seed (Vitis Vinifera) and Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis) support normal metabolic processes and detoxification. Homoeopathic preparations of herbs such as Arnica Montana, Bryonia Alba and Rhus Toxicodendron may be of use in reducing pain, inflammation and accelerating healing with stress fractures. These are just a few, there is quite a range, some more relevant to specific injuries than others, therefore it is wise to consult a professional therapist to help you decide which is the most appropriate for your particular condition.

Title: How to Repair Connective Tissue: Clients often present to clinic with conditions which unfortunately won’t heal with one gentle tweak! In many cases qualified practitioners will recommend ‘additionals’ to assist the healing process. I am often asked ‘why and how’ regarding these supplements, so I am offering a bit of background information……… Mature connective tissue is subdivided into several kinds: loose connective tissue = strength support and flexibility (skin, mucous membranes, blood vessels, nerves, surrounding body organs) dense connective tissue = strength (regular e.g. tendons-attach muscle to bone, ligaments-attach bone to bone; irregular e.g. fascia, joint capsules, heart valves), osseous tissue = cartilage, bone vascular tissue= blood The primary factors which affect repair are: Age, Circulation and Nutrition. Generally tissue heals faster and better in the young, who possess a better nutritional state and blood supply as well as a faster cellular metabolic rate which can synthesise needed materials and divide more quickly. In tissue repair efficient blood circulation is essential to transport oxygen, nutrients, antibodies, and many defensive cells to the site. Blood also plays an important role in the removal of tissue fluid, bacteria, foreign bodies and debris. These elements would otherwise interfere with healing. Therefore, the better the blood supply, the more efficient the healing. Connective tissue is generally highly vascular however tendons only have a scant supply and cartilage is avascular and slow growing. Therefore these can take longer to heal. Bone in contrast has a rich blood supply and heals much more quickly. Good nutrition is vital as repair places a great demand on the body's stores of nutrients. Adequate protein is important as most of the cell structure is made from proteins. Also involved are a diverse range of vitamins and minerals. Vitamins play a direct role in wound healing. A - essential in the replacement of epithelial tissues, especially the respiratory tract. B group ... thiamine, nicotinic acid, riboflavin - are coenzymes needed by many enzyme systems in cells. They assist in pain relief and are necessary for the division of cells that accomplish repair. Nicotinamide in particular has been found to improve joint mobility and enhance the repair of damaged articular surfaces. C - retards the erosion of cartilage. It directly affects the normal production and maintenance of matrix materials, especially collagen and strengthens and promotes the formation of new blood vessels. It also increases the synthesis of the endogenous glycosaminoglycans such as chondroitin sulphate, that are necessary to repair damaged joints. A deficiency can result in even superficial wounds failing to heal and the walls of the blood vessels becoming fragile and easily ruptured. Antioxidants like vitamin C also mop up excessive free radicals that have been implicated in the development of arthritis. Bioflavonoids are produced by plants in their photosynthesising cells, and are commonly found in vitamin C-rich foods. They are responsible for the majority of the yellow, red and blue pigmentation in plants. They can reverse connective tissue damage by enhancing the synthesis of collagen and may also reduce the pain of the condition. Bioflavonoids are involved in the maintenance of small blood vessel wall integrity, and are able to reverse capillary fragility. Improved capillary integrity has many clinical benefits- reduction of pain, inflammation, bleeding, bruising, and oedema due to injury. Zinc is an essential cofactor in the production of connective tissue, cartilage and bone, and has been shown to help arthritic conditions. Zinc is one of the minerals (with copper and manganese) necessary to produce vital antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) - active in the neutralisation of free radical activity and inflammation in joint tissue. D - necessary for the proper absorption of calcium from the intestine. Calcium gives bones their hardness and is necessary for the healing of fractures. D3 activates osteoblasts to increase bone metabolism and repair. E - antioxidant.

Zinc is an essential cofactor in the production of connective tissue, cartilage and bone, and has been shown to help arthritic conditions. Zinc is one of the minerals (with copper and manganese) necessary to produce vital antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) - active in the neutralisation of free radical activity and inflammation in joint tissue. D - necessary for the proper absorption of calcium from the intestine. Calcium gives bones their hardness and is necessary for the healing of fractures. D3 activates osteoblasts to increase bone metabolism and repair. E - antioxidant. Important to the maintenance and protection of cell membranes, promoting the healing of injured tissues and believed to prevent scarring K - is needed for the production of certain proteins that participate in blood clotting and thus prevents the injured person from bleeding to death. There is also increasing evidence indicating a significant role for vitamin K in bone metabolism and osteoporosis. Osteocalcin is a protein specifically produced by the osteoblasts, and is utilised within the bone as an integral part of the process of its formation. Vitamin K functions as a cofactor for the enzyme that assists in the formation of osteocalcin. Therefore vitamin K helps "glue" the calcium directly into the bone matrix. Glucosamine Sulphate - Cartilage consists of a dense network of collagen fibres and elastic fibres firmly embedded in chondroitin sulphate - a jelly-like substance that provides support and adhesiveness in cartilage, bone, the skin and blood vessels. The strength of cartilage is due to collagen fibres, its resilience is due to chondroitin sulphate. Glucosamine is a natural component of cartilage (it is also the main component of chondroitin sulphate). As an essential component of the connective tissue matrix of ligaments and tendons, it is involved in preserving joint structure. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a highly biologically valuable source of sulphur. Sulphur is important for joint tissue support, as it assists in the management of inflammation and promotes the formation of collagen and healthy cartilage. WATER - Loss of water results in a decrease in volume of blood plasma … oxygen and other nutrients can't be efficiently delivered to the brain and other tissues. A fall in volume reduces pressure, leading to inability of the heart to pump vital nutrients to the brain and other tissues (7-10% water loss can lead to hallucinations and heat stroke 5% can lead to cramps). Water is required for dissolving and eliminating waste; maintaining the circulatory system; supporting the activity of enzymes and functioning of all cell membrane components; dispersing and dissolving nutrients and nutrient carriers in the body. Calcium is essential for the building and maintenance of all bones and teeth. The nerves transmission of impulses requires calcium with magnesium and potassium. The body's electrolyte balance and blood pH are regulated by calcium, as are the kidneys. Calcium has also shown the ability to protect against heavy metal toxicity, particularly through inhibition of absorption by osseous tissue. Muscle growth and health is facilitated by calcium, whilst a deficiency may result in pain and muscle cramps. Maintenance of cell permeability and regulation of blood coagulation are also dependent on this mineral. Magnesium has been called "the action mineral." This is due largely to its role as a co-factor and triggering mineral in enzyme systems, particularly in the metabolism of glucose and the creation of cell energy Neuromuscular control and contraction relies on magnesium, as does the health and integrity of the nervous system, particularly nerve impulse transmission. Where levels are low, irritability and nervousness occur. Evidence suggests that magnesium (along with calcium), can help to protect against the development of heart disease and high blood pressure, as it plays a part in vasodilation of blood vessels and the overall integrity of cardiac function. This mineral is required for the proper utilisation of the B complex vitamins, as well as vitamins C and E, calcium, phosphorus, sodium and potassium. The acid-alkali balance of the body, the regulation of body temperature, the building and maintenance of bone and the inhibition of platelet aggregation are other areas where magnesium is essential. Manganese enhances bone growth and repair through stimulating osteoblasts and suppressing osteoclast activity. ALSO….. Anti-inflammatory agents such as quercetin, can help to remove the products of free radical stress at the site of inflammation. Herbal antioxidants such as Grape seed (Vitis Vinifera) and Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis) support normal metabolic processes and detoxification. Homoeopathic preparations of herbs such as Arnica Montana, Bryonia Alba and Rhus Toxicodendron may be of use in reducing pain, inflammation and accelerating healing with stress fractures. These are just a few, there is quite a range, some more relevant to specific injuries than others, therefore it is wise to consult a professional therapist to help you decide which is the most appropriate for your particular condition.

Title: How to Repair Connective Tissue: Clients often present to clinic with conditions which unfortunately won’t heal with one gentle tweak! In many cases qualified practitioners will recommend ‘additionals’ to assist the healing process. I am often asked ‘why and how’ regarding these supplements, so I am offering a bit of background information……… Mature connective tissue is subdivided into several kinds: loose connective tissue = strength support and flexibility (skin, mucous membranes, blood vessels, nerves, surrounding body organs) dense connective tissue = strength (regular e.g. tendons-attach muscle to bone, ligaments-attach bone to bone; irregular e.g. fascia, joint capsules, heart valves), osseous tissue = cartilage, bone vascular tissue= blood The primary factors which affect repair are: Age, Circulation and Nutrition. Generally tissue heals faster and better in the young, who possess a better nutritional state and blood supply as well as a faster cellular metabolic rate which can synthesise needed materials and divide more quickly. In tissue repair efficient blood circulation is essential to transport oxygen, nutrients, antibodies, and many defensive cells to the site. Blood also plays an important role in the removal of tissue fluid, bacteria, foreign bodies and debris. These elements would otherwise interfere with healing. Therefore, the better the blood supply, the more efficient the healing. Connective tissue is generally highly vascular however tendons only have a scant supply and cartilage is avascular and slow growing. Therefore these can take longer to heal. Bone in contrast has a rich blood supply and heals much more quickly. Good nutrition is vital as repair places a great demand on the body's stores of nutrients. Adequate protein is important as most of the cell structure is made from proteins. Also involved are a diverse range of vitamins and minerals. Vitamins play a direct role in wound healing. A - essential in the replacement of epithelial tissues, especially the respiratory tract. B group ... thiamine, nicotinic acid, riboflavin - are coenzymes needed by many enzyme systems in cells. They assist in pain relief and are necessary for the division of cells that accomplish repair. Nicotinamide in particular has been found to improve joint mobility and enhance the repair of damaged articular surfaces. C - retards the erosion of cartilage. It directly affects the normal production and maintenance of matrix materials, especially collagen and strengthens and promotes the formation of new blood vessels. It also increases the synthesis of the endogenous glycosaminoglycans such as chondroitin sulphate, that are necessary to repair damaged joints. A deficiency can result in even superficial wounds failing to heal and the walls of the blood vessels becoming fragile and easily ruptured. Antioxidants like vitamin C also mop up excessive free radicals that have been implicated in the development of arthritis. Bioflavonoids are produced by plants in their photosynthesising cells, and are commonly found in vitamin C-rich foods. They are responsible for the majority of the yellow, red and blue pigmentation in plants. They can reverse connective tissue damage by enhancing the synthesis of collagen and may also reduce the pain of the condition.

Bone in contrast has a rich blood supply and heals much more quickly. Good nutrition is vital as repair places a great demand on the body's stores of nutrients. Adequate protein is important as most of the cell structure is made from proteins. Also involved are a diverse range of vitamins and minerals. Vitamins play a direct role in wound healing. A - essential in the replacement of epithelial tissues, especially the respiratory tract. B group ... thiamine, nicotinic acid, riboflavin - are coenzymes needed by many enzyme systems in cells. They assist in pain relief and are necessary for the division of cells that accomplish repair. Nicotinamide in particular has been found to improve joint mobility and enhance the repair of damaged articular surfaces. C - retards the erosion of cartilage. It directly affects the normal production and maintenance of matrix materials, especially collagen and strengthens and promotes the formation of new blood vessels. It also increases the synthesis of the endogenous glycosaminoglycans such as chondroitin sulphate, that are necessary to repair damaged joints. A deficiency can result in even superficial wounds failing to heal and the walls of the blood vessels becoming fragile and easily ruptured. Antioxidants like vitamin C also mop up excessive free radicals that have been implicated in the development of arthritis. Bioflavonoids are produced by plants in their photosynthesising cells, and are commonly found in vitamin C-rich foods. They are responsible for the majority of the yellow, red and blue pigmentation in plants. They can reverse connective tissue damage by enhancing the synthesis of collagen and may also reduce the pain of the condition. Bioflavonoids are involved in the maintenance of small blood vessel wall integrity, and are able to reverse capillary fragility. Improved capillary integrity has many clinical benefits- reduction of pain, inflammation, bleeding, bruising, and oedema due to injury. Zinc is an essential cofactor in the production of connective tissue, cartilage and bone, and has been shown to help arthritic conditions. Zinc is one of the minerals (with copper and manganese) necessary to produce vital antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) - active in the neutralisation of free radical activity and inflammation in joint tissue. D - necessary for the proper absorption of calcium from the intestine. Calcium gives bones their hardness and is necessary for the healing of fractures. D3 activates osteoblasts to increase bone metabolism and repair. E - antioxidant. Important to the maintenance and protection of cell membranes, promoting the healing of injured tissues and believed to prevent scarring K - is needed for the production of certain proteins that participate in blood clotting and thus prevents the injured person from bleeding to death. There is also increasing evidence indicating a significant role for vitamin K in bone metabolism and osteoporosis. Osteocalcin is a protein specifically produced by the osteoblasts, and is utilised within the bone as an integral part of the process of its formation. Vitamin K functions as a cofactor for the enzyme that assists in the formation of osteocalcin. Therefore vitamin K helps "glue" the calcium directly into the bone matrix. Glucosamine Sulphate - Cartilage consists of a dense network of collagen fibres and elastic fibres firmly embedded in chondroitin sulphate - a jelly-like substance that provides support and adhesiveness in cartilage, bone, the skin and blood vessels. The strength of cartilage is due to collagen fibres, its resilience is due to chondroitin sulphate. Glucosamine is a natural component of cartilage (it is also the main component of chondroitin sulphate). As an essential component of the connective tissue matrix of ligaments and tendons, it is involved in preserving joint structure. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a highly biologically valuable source of sulphur. Sulphur is important for joint tissue support, as it assists in the management of inflammation and promotes the formation of collagen and healthy cartilage. WATER - Loss of water results in a decrease in volume of blood plasma … oxygen and other nutrients can't be efficiently delivered to the brain and other tissues. A fall in volume reduces pressure, leading to inability of the heart to pump vital nutrients to the brain and other tissues (7-10% water loss can lead to hallucinations and heat stroke 5% can lead to cramps). Water is required for dissolving and eliminating waste; maintaining the circulatory system; supporting the activity of enzymes and functioning of all cell membrane components; dispersing and dissolving nutrients and nutrient carriers in the body. Calcium is essential for the building and maintenance of all bones and teeth. The nerves transmission of impulses requires calcium with magnesium and potassium. The body's electrolyte balance and blood pH are regulated by calcium, as are the kidneys. Calcium has also shown the ability to protect against heavy metal toxicity, particularly through inhibition of absorption by osseous tissue. Muscle growth and health is facilitated by calcium, whilst a deficiency may result in pain and muscle cramps. Maintenance of cell permeability and regulation of blood coagulation are also dependent on this mineral. Magnesium has been called "the action mineral." This is due largely to its role as a co-factor and triggering mineral in enzyme systems, particularly in the metabolism of glucose and the creation of cell energy Neuromuscular control and contraction relies on magnesium, as does the health and integrity of the nervous system, particularly nerve impulse transmission. Where levels are low, irritability and nervousness occur. Evidence suggests that magnesium (along with calcium), can help to protect against the development of heart disease and high blood pressure, as it plays a part in vasodilation of blood vessels and the overall integrity of cardiac function. This mineral is required for the proper utilisation of the B complex vitamins, as well as vitamins C and E, calcium, phosphorus, sodium and potassium. The acid-alkali balance of the body, the regulation of body temperature, the building and maintenance of bone and the inhibition of platelet aggregation are other areas where magnesium is essential. Manganese enhances bone growth and repair through stimulating osteoblasts and suppressing osteoclast activity. ALSO….. Anti-inflammatory agents such as quercetin, can help to remove the products of free radical stress at the site of inflammation. Herbal antioxidants such as Grape seed (Vitis Vinifera) and Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis) support normal metabolic processes and detoxification. Homoeopathic preparations of herbs such as Arnica Montana, Bryonia Alba and Rhus Toxicodendron may be of use in reducing pain, inflammation and accelerating healing with stress fractures. These are just a few, there is quite a range, some more relevant to specific injuries than others, therefore it is wise to consult a professional therapist to help you decide which is the most appropriate for your particular condition. FINALLY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY…….. TAKE IT EASY AND ALLOW YOUR BODY TIME TO HEAL!!!! Back to Homepage Back to Information Index
Headings:
Content: Clients often present to clinic with conditions which unfortunately won’t heal with one gentle tweak! In many cases qualified practitioners will recommend ‘additionals’ to assist the healing process. I am often asked ‘why and how’ regarding these supplements, so I am offering a bit of background information………
Mature connective tissue is subdivided into several kinds: ★ loose connective tissue = strength support and flexibility (skin, mucous membranes, blood vessels, nerves, surrounding body organs)
★ dense connective tissue = strength (regular e.g. tendons-attach muscle to bone, ligaments-attach bone to bone; irregular e.g. fascia, joint capsules, heart valves),
★ osseous tissue = cartilage, bone
★ vascular tissue= blood
The primary factors which affect repair are: Age, Circulation and Nutrition. Generally tissue heals faster and better in the young, who possess a better nutritional state and blood supply as well as a faster cellular metabolic rate which can synthesise needed materials and divide more quickly. In tissue repair efficient blood circulation

Title: Orchiectomy AKA Castration for Transgender Women
Headings: Orchiectomy for Transgender Women:
Main Navigation
Orchiectomy for Transgender Women:
Content: If castration is done prior to puberty then the person won't develop male secondary sex characteristics without testosterone replacement therapy. These Include: Deep voice
Male body hair
Balding
Facial hair
Muscular frame
Reduced or complete lack of sex drive
Possible slight breast growth
If Castration is Done After Puberty: Loss of body hair
Loss of muscle mass
Increased body fat
Possible reduced sex drive
Possible slight breast growth
Prevent or stop baldness
In most cases of castration after puberty facial hair growth is slowed but not stopped, libido is reduced but still exists and the voice remains deep. If only one testicle is removed, the other testicle increases testosterone production and there won't be too much of a change. Alternatives: Antiandrogens such as spironolactone and cyproterone acetate can be taken to block testosterone. A more expensive option are gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists that block testicular function. Why Do Some Trans Women Get Orchiectomies?: Male to female (MTF) transsexuals, as well as some other transgendered people, sometimes undergo orchiectomy.

There are also some possible downsides to getting an orchiectomy if you are planning on later sex reassignment surgery (SRS). The scrotal skin could possibly shrink resulting in less for later, and the money could have been saved for SRS. However, if you aren't close to affording SRS then you can save on medication costs. If an orchiectomy is done improperly then there is the chance of scar tissue. Some surgeons might charge more for sex reassignment surgery if you have had an orchiectomy. Dr. Suporn is well known for refusing patients or charging a fee if you have been castrated. Who Else Gets Orchiectomies?: The most common reason for an orchiectomy is as a treatment for testicular cancer.

Even if both testicles are removed, male sexual function can be restored and maintained through the use of testosterone injections or patches. However without testicles there is no production of sperm and so the person will be infertile. Some men seek this procedure in order to remove what they consider uncomfortable, uncontrollable or dysfunctional sexual urges. Others may seek it in order to fulfill a fetish or fantasy.

Content: The result of this is that the protections in law relating to assault now apply to a child in the same way as they do to an adult. Sexual abuse
Sexual abuse occurs when a child is used by another person for his or her gratification or arousal, or for that of others. It includes the child being involved in sexual acts (masturbation, fondling, oral or penetrative sex) or exposing the child to sexual activity directly or through pornography. Child sexual abuse may cover a wide spectrum of abusive activities. It rarely involves just a single incident and in some instances occurs over a number of years. Child sexual abuse most commonly happens within the family, including older siblings and extended family members. Cases of sexual abuse mainly come to light through disclosure by the child or his or her siblings/friends, from the suspicions of an adult, and/or by physical symptoms. Examples of child sexual abuse include the following: Any sexual act intentionally performed in the presence of a child
An invitation to sexual touching or intentional touching or molesting of a child’s body whether by a person or object for the purpose of sexual arousal or gratification
Masturbation in the presence of a child or the involvement of a child in an act of masturbation
Sexual intercourse with a child, whether oral, vaginal or anal
Sexual exploitation of a child, which includes: Inviting, inducing or coercing a child to engage in prostitution or the production of child pornography [for example, exhibition, modelling or posing for the purpose of sexual arousal, gratification or sexual act, including its recording (on film, videotape or other media) or the manipulation, for those purposes, of an image by computer or other means]
Inviting, coercing or inducing a child to participate in, or to observe, any sexual, indecent or obscene act
Showing sexually explicit material to children, which is often a feature of the ‘grooming’ process by perpetrators of abuse
Exposing a child to inappropriate or abusive material through information and communication technology
Consensual sexual activity involving an adult and an underage person
An Garda Síochána will deal with any criminal aspects of a sexual abuse case under the relevant criminal justice legislation.

For the first time, an invasive silver carp has been captured in the St. Croix River. The carp, one of several invasive species of so-called “Asian carp,” was caught Friday, March 10, by a commercial fishing boat, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, which announced confirmation of the catch Thursday. Silver carp are notorious for their proclivity to leap out of the water when boats approach. They’re also regarded as a major threat to native species and the state’s deep love of fishing. But St. Croix lovers shouldn’t fear the carp-pocalypse quite yet. The fish was found near the confluence of the St. Croix and the Mississippi rivers at Prescott, Wis. Silver carp already had been found farther upstream in the Mississippi,, and biologists have long suspected fish would swim unimpeded up the St. Croix and be detected sooner or later.

Bighead carp — another prominent invasive Asian carp — have been found in those waters as well.

In 2014, two silver carp were found in the Mississippi only a short distance upstream from where the St. Croix and Mississippi meet.” Biologists have not yet uncovered evidence of a reproducing population of either species in the metro waters — a key distinction in their strategy to slow their invasion. “The location where the carp were captured is a well-known over-wintering area for several species of fish,” Frohnauer said in a news release. “

One bighead carp was also caught by the commercial angler, who was working with a DNR fisheries biologist, the DNR said. Once the ice clears, DNR workers and commercial anglers plan to survey for additional invasive carp near Prescott. The DNR will also sample at the Allen S. King Power Plant near Bayport, where bighead carp have been caught in the past.

Farther upstream, the dam at Taylors Falls, Minn., is thought to be an adequate barrier to prevent the carp from penetrating deep into eastern Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin. Along the Mississippi, however, dams from St. Paul south have locks used for boats — a system that the carp could use as well. The Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center at the University of Minnesota is testing carp deterrents in Mississippi locks and dams. Biologists have installed acoustic speakers at Lock 8 and modeled flows through the gates at dams 2 and 8.

The use of a formal adaptive behavior measure allows the assessment team to determine the student’s level of functioning in daily tasks required to be successful in the home, community, and workplace. Tassé et al. ( 2012) have provided a thorough explanation on the use of the adaptive behavior construct and its contribution to a broader understanding of intellectual disability. This type of assessment assists in transition planning and may help ensure the student has the necessary skills to be productive when he or she has left the school environment. Assessing adaptive behavior in both school and home settings can provide additional valuable information about generalization of skills across settings. The following are the most commonly used adaptive behavior measures, which will be reviewed individually within this section of the TARGET documents: Adaptive Behavior Assessment System –Third Edition (ABAS-III); Scales of Independent Behavior-Revised (SIB-R); and, Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales – Second Edition (Vineland™ II).

Sex Offender Treatment
Sex offender treatment is composed of a combination of individual, group, and family therapy whose detailed components are outlined in the treatment program requirements of the Texas Council on Sexual Offender Treatment. In addition, personality testing and psycho-physiological test devices (i.e. polygraph and penile plethysmograph and/or ABEL Screen) are utilized in conjunction with therapy to monitor activities, treatment progress/participation, self-disclosure, community risk, and overall program compliance. You are expected to attend group sessions on a weekly basis, as well as individual counseling as indicated. During this process you will address issues like relapse prevention knowledge and skills, thought restructuring, couple and family relations and reunification, interpersonal skills, sexual arousal control, social support networks, and victim awareness and empathy. Some of the key treatment facts: Most individuals who sexually offend will benefit from treatment oriented to reduce the risk of recidivism by using the most effective treatment interventions that are the standards of the profession (ATSA and Texas CSOM). Management of the factors that contribute to sexually abusive behavior is a life-long task for many adults who sexually offend. Internal motivation may improve an individual's participation in treatment. Although not always the case, many individuals who sexually offend will not request or comply with treatment or supervision requirements without external motivation such as being legally mandated to participate. Criminal investigation, prosecution, a court order, or similar directive requiring specialized sexual abuser treatment may be important components of effective intervention and management and may provide impetus for treatment.

Decorative black seed pods hang on tree all winter. Eve's Necklace is native to North Texas, but it has mostly been removed during development. It blooms in the late spring with a wisteria-like flower. It can grow either tall and slender, or short and wide depending on the location it is planted. It grows naturally as an understory tree among the native post oaks and cedar elms. It establishes fairly easily, can grow in full sun areas, and is extremely drought tolerant. Eve's Necklace is often confused with mesquite because of its mesquite-looking compound leaves and the interesting bead-like black seed pods that it gets its name from.

Non-European countries affected
Content: The Soviet Union's hegemony over Eastern Europe, and the vulnerability of Western European countries to continued Soviet expansionism, sharpened the sense of crisis. Rooted in FDR's Four Freedoms Speech, the Marshall Plan was not originally intended to be a weapon to fight communism, but it became a bulwark of American foreign policy to manage communist containment on the Continent, as outlined in the Truman Doctrine, during the Cold War. Instrumental in crafting the Marshall Plan was George Kennan, leader of the State Department's Policy Planning Staff under Marshall and Acheson. Kennan was charged with the responsibility for long-term planning. Background
The demise of Axis political and military power left a vacuum in the areas of international life where that power had asserted itself. The Allies got nowhere with Russia on peace treaties, because they had been unable to agree on how that vacuum should be filled. The American view was that new and liberalized political governments should rise from the totalitarian rubble. The former Axis countries would remain demilitarized and under close allied supervision, but would otherwise enjoy national independence. The Soviets under Stalin were determined to see new regimes emerge that would be dominated by communists subservient to Moscow. That would give the Kremlin effective control over the military and industrial power of those countries, and it would help them to dominate surrounding regions as well.

In a speech on June 5, 1947, U.S. Secretary of State George Marshall proposed that European nations should create a plan for their economic reconstruction and that the United States would provide economic assistance. In practical application, the proposal involved the constructive solution of thousands of detailed problems of international life. While attempting to go ahead with the program, the American government found itself temporarily blocked by the inability of the other Allies to reach agreement on the terms of treaties of peace with the major axis countries: Germany and Japan. On December 19, 1947, President Harry S. Truman sent a message to Congress that followed Marshall’s ideas to provide economic aid to Europe.

Introduction
Background
The Economic Cooperation Act
Non-European countries affected
Content: The Marshall Plan provided markets for American goods, created reliable trading partners, and supported the development of stable democratic governments in Western Europe. Congress’s approval of the Marshall Plan signaled an extension of the multilateralism of World War II into the postwar years. The plan was to terminate on June 30, 1952, with a possible 12-month extension. The plan was not a simple cash handover, but the temporary creation of an entire bureaucratic structure and extension of American government management in Europe. The generosity and commitment of the United States to its European allies during World War II, plus the Marshall Plan, made the European Union of today possible. To become eligible for assistance under the act, each participating country was required to conclude an agreement with the United States Government that committed it to the act's purposes. Participants stabilized their currency, promoted production, cooperated with other participating countries in the interchange of goods, furnished the United States with needed materials, submitted progress reports and took other measures to expedite a return to economic self-sufficiency. Non-European countries affected
Under provisions of title IV of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1948, China and Korea, although not participants in the Marshall Plan, were furnished assistance in a similar manner. After January 1, 1949, the ECA took over from the U.S. Army the administration of the program for relief and economic rehabilitation of Korea. The view by the Truman Administration in the spring of 1948, of the on-going Chinese revolution was that the Communists under Mao Zedong would fail to control China with one government, if they won over the Nationalists under Chiang Kai-shek at all.

Content: Until that visit, the American government recognized only the Nationalist government on Taiwan as the legitimate government of China. The Marshall Plan benefited the American economy as well. Marshall Plan money was used to buy goods from America, and the goods had to be shipped across the Atlantic on American merchant vessels. By 1953 America had pumped in $13 billion, and Europe was on the way to standing on its feet again. The aid was economic in nature; it did not include military aid until after the Korean War. Japan, the World War II adversary of the U.S. in the Far East, had to be rescued from the threat of communist revolution. Under the administrative leadership of Douglas MacArthur and American economic aid, it was put back on its feet. The same consideration applied to South Korea and Taiwan. The former had communist North Korea as its neighbor.

Spanish-American War
The Spanish-American War was a four-month conflict between Spain and the United States, provoked by word of Spanish colonial brutality in Cuba. Although the war was largely brought about by the efforts of U.S. expansionists, many Americans supported the idea of freeing an oppressed people controlled by the Spanish. At war's end, America emerged victorious with newly acknowledged respect as a world power. Reasoning for war Until the 1890s, ambivalence about overseas possessions had restrained America's drive to expand overseas. Suddenly, near the turn of the 20th century, inhibitions collapsed and American power thrust its way to the far reaches of the Pacific. The occasion for that explosion of imperialism lay neither in the Pacific nor in the quest for bases and trade, but to the south in Cuba. The chief motive was a sense of outrage at another country's imperialism. It revived only briefly during a 10-year Cuban insurrection from 1868 to 1878. After the insurrection was brought under control in 1878 by the Spanish, American investments in Cuba, mainly in sugar and mining, rose to about $50 million. The United States in fact traded more with Cuba than Spain did.

Massachusetts Bay Colony
Content: Through this action the Massachusetts Bay venture was transformed from a trading company into an organization dominated by staunch Puritans with a religious agenda. Political power in the new colony was limited to fellow believers, effectively creating a theocracy (a government run by religious officials who would enforce religious principles). The Great Migration Beginning in 1630, Governor John Winthrop, with the company charter tightly in hand, guided the arrival of nearly 1000 colonists to the New World. The initial parties stopped first at Salem, but soon established a permanent settlement on the Shawmut Peninsula of Massachusetts Bay (later to be called Boston ). Initially, circumstances were extremely difficult - approximately 200 settlers died the first year and a similar number returned to England in the spring of 1631. Gradual improvements in living conditions led to an influx of new colonists, mainly English Puritans, that totaled more than 20,000 over the next decade. New settlements soon fanned out from Boston — Newtown (later Cambridge ), Lexington, Concord, Watertown, Charlestown, Dorchester, and others dotted the map. Massachusetts differed markedly from Plymouth, its neighbor 40 miles to the south. The Puritan immigrants, as a whole, had been more prominent in England and were more highly educated. All classes, from gentleman to common laborer, were represented.

Effects of Marijuana Use On The Body
Content: Smoking marijuana deposits several times more THC into the blood than does eating or drinking the drug. A marijuana user may experience pleasant sensations, colors and sounds may appear to be more intense, and time seems to pass very slowly. The user's mouth feels dry, and he or she may suddenly become very hungry and thirsty. The hands may tremble and grow cold. The euphoria passes after awhile and then the user may feel sleepy or depressed. Occasionally, marijuana use produces anxiety, fear, distrust, or panic. Heavy marijuana use impairs a person's ability to form memories, recall events, or shift attention from one thing to another. THC also disrupts coordination and balance by binding to receptors in the cerebellum and basal ganglia - the parts of the brain that regulate balance, posture, coordination of movement, and reaction time. Marijuana users who have taken high doses of the drug may experience acute toxic psychosis, which includes hallucinations, delusions, and depersonalization (a loss of the sense of personal identity or self-recognition). Although the specific causes of these symptoms is still unknown, they appear to occur more frequently when a high dose of cannabis is consumed in food or drink rather than smoked.

Content: It has fundamental limits — whether physical, economic, or social — and it can only fend off the impacts of sea level rise to a point. As sea level rises higher, even our best protection efforts will not suffice in some areas in the face of rising tides, waves, and storm surges. If it reaches limits of coastal adaptation, a community will face the prospect of shifting back from heavily impacted areas. These limits will arrive sooner in those areas exposed to greater risks, those with more fragile ecosystems and limited natural buffers, and those that are less well-off economically. Leaders at all levels of government need to take seriously the risks facing people living along our coasts and the urgent need for action. We must prepare our communities for encroaching tides and other impacts of sea level rise even as we make a concerted effort to reduce the heat-trapping emissions that will determine the rate at which the ocean rises over the long term.

Sea level is rising — and at an accelerating rate — especially along the US East Coast and Gulf of Mexico
Global average sea level rose roughly eight inches from 1880 - 2009. The average annual rate of global sea level rise accelerated from 1993 - 2008, increasing 65 - 90 percent above the twentieth century average. The US East Coast and Gulf of Mexico experienced some of the world's fastest rates of sea level rise in the twentieth century due to local and regional factors. Global warming is the primary cause of current sea level rise. Human activities, such as burning coal and oil and cutting down tropical forests, have increased atmospheric concentrations of heat-trapping gases and caused the planet to warm by 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit since 1880. Rising temperatures are warming ocean waters, which expand as the temperature increases. This thermal expansion was the main driver of global sea level rise for 75 - 100 years after the start of the Industrial Revolution, though its relative contribution has declined as the shrinking of land ice has accelerated. Land ice—glaciers, ice caps, and ice sheets—is shrinking at a faster rate in response to rising temperatures, adding water to the world's oceans. As the rate of ice loss has accelerated, its contribution to global sea level rise has increased from a little more than half of the total increase from 1993 - 2008 to 75 - 80 percent of the total increase between 2003 - 2007.

Roughly a third of the US population—more than 100 million people—live in coastal counties. Coastal states with large areas of low-lying land, including Louisiana, Florida, North Carolina, California, and South Carolina, are particularly vulnerable to rising seas and coastal storm surges. The risks to coastal states include: Shoreline erosion and degradation. Rising sea levels allow waves to penetrate further inland, even during calm conditions, increasing the potential for erosion.

A rise of two feet above today's sea level would put more than $1 trillion of property and structures in the US at risk of inundation, with roughly half of that value concentrated in in Florida. Saltwater intrusion. Saltwater can reach further into coastal groundwater sources as sea level rises, increasing the salinity of freshwater used for drinking and agriculture. Communities must weigh the costs and risks of accommodating the rising seas, retreating from them, or trying to defend coastal properties and infrastructure with protective measures

Content: The rate of local sea level rise is affected by global, regional, and local factors. Along the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico, changes in the path and strength of ocean currents are contributing to faster-than-average sea level rise. In parts of the East Coast and Gulf regions, land is subsiding, which allows the ocean to penetrate farther inland. How quickly is land ice melting? Shrinking land ice — glaciers, ice caps, and ice sheets — contributed about half of the total global sea level rise between 1972 and 2008, but its contribution has been increasing since the early 1990s as the pace of ice loss has accelerated. Recent studies suggest that land ice loss added nearly half an inch to global sea level from 2003 to 2007, contributing 75 to 80 percent of the total increase during that period. Why is there such a large range in sea level rise projections? The long-term rate of global sea level rise will depend on the amount of future heat-trapping emissions and on how quickly land ice responds to rising temperatures. Scientists have developed a range of scenarios for future sea level rise based on estimates of growth in heat-trapping emissions and the potential responses of oceans and ice. The estimates used for these two variables result in the wide range of potential sea level rise scenarios.

Content: How high and how quickly will sea level rise in the future? Our past emissions of heat-trapping gases will largely dictate sea level rise through 2050, but our present and future emissions will have great bearing on sea level rise from 2050 to 2100 and beyond. Even if global warming emissions were to drop to zero by 2016, sea level will continue to rise in the coming decades as oceans and land ice adjust to the changes we have already made to the atmosphere. The greatest effect on long-term sea level rise will be the rate and magnitude of the loss of ice sheets, primarily in Greenland and West Antarctica, as they respond to rising temperatures caused by heat-trapping emissions in the atmosphere.

Content: Swatting at bees aggravates them
If you are stung, remove the stinger immediately by scraping it with your fingernail or a knife. Do not squeeze the stinger. This injects the full dose of venom into your skin. The scent of the poison often alarms and irritates additional bees, so either wash the wound site with a natural odor or apply a few puffs of smoke to mask the scent. Rubbing the wound only produces more itching and swelling. Persons made ill by one or several stings ordinarily should not attempt to work with honeybees. Evidence of oversensitivity to bee stings includes a sharp change in the pulse rate, difficulty in respiration, loss of consciousness, and hives on various parts of the body. Requeening
Many queens live five years and some up to nine years, but vitality decreases with age. The aging process is hastened by a high demand to lay eggs. Most beekeepers prefer to replace the queen before she begins to fail.

High levels of stress hormones are linked to memory loss, study says
Content: As we enter a new phase of history -- with 2.1 billion people predicted to live beyond 60 by 2050 -- global attitudes toward older people have not kept up. In a 2016 World Health Organization survey across 57 countries, 60% of respondents reported that older people are not respected. A more recent report by the Royal Society for Public Health in the UK gauged the feelings of 2,000 British citizens and found some other bleak trends. Almost half -- 47% -- believed that people over 65 struggled to learn new skills. A quarter of 18- to 24-year-olds and 15% of the total respondents agreed that "it is normal to be unhappy and depressed when you are old." The dangers of stereotypes Negative stereotypes can be dangerous to older people in a number of ways, including shortening their lives. Positive thinking can better behavior by leading people to engage in healthier lifestyles such as exercise. A person's positivity can also improve their psychology, making them better at coping with stress -- a contributor to memory loss and brain shrinkage. Where are people most negative? " High income countries are the highly industrialized countries and industrialization tends to devalue older people," explained Erdman Palmore, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Duke University, in an email, adding that traditional rural societies tend to have higher respect because older people can keep working longer and are more valuable to the economy.

Content: The dangers of stereotypes Negative stereotypes can be dangerous to older people in a number of ways, including shortening their lives. Positive thinking can better behavior by leading people to engage in healthier lifestyles such as exercise. A person's positivity can also improve their psychology, making them better at coping with stress -- a contributor to memory loss and brain shrinkage. Where are people most negative? " High income countries are the highly industrialized countries and industrialization tends to devalue older people," explained Erdman Palmore, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Duke University, in an email, adding that traditional rural societies tend to have higher respect because older people can keep working longer and are more valuable to the economy. Where did the stereotypes come from? Rewinding the clock 200 years, researchers found a shift in attitudes toward the elderly in 1880. In one study, they analyzed synonyms for the word 'elderly' in a database of 400 million words included in a range or print sources from the past two centuries and found that from 1810 to 1879, the concept of getting older was viewed positively in the United States. Then, from 1880 onward -- the midst of industrialization -- people started seeing aging as something bad. The researchers suggest the rising number of people over the age of 65 was associated with the increase in negative beliefs around age.

How Does a Sonographer’s Salary Compare to Similar Professions?
Already a Sonographer? Here’s How to Increase Your Salary
Content: Typically, sonographers earn more than similar healthcare professions, and additionally have the potential to increase their salary. Factors That Affect Ultrasound Tech Salary
Level of education and amount of training
In general, the more education and experience a sonographer has, the higher their income can be. While an Associates Degree is the minimum amount of education required to become a sonographer, a Bachelor or even a Master Degree in Ultrasound opens up the doors for higher paying positions, such as consulting, management or education. Specialization and certifications
Ultrasound technician pay also depends on the area of specialization. For example, if a person specializes in Obstetrics/Gynecology, and becomes certified through the ARDMS (American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography), they are more likely to receive higher ultrasound tech pay than if they practiced General Sonography. When getting started, it’s not necessary to declare a specialization to begin a degree program, but there will be a lot of options to choose from when the time comes. Facility of employment
An ultrasound tech may work in a variety of locations, including hospitals, doctor’s offices, medical/diagnostic labs, outpatient centers and other healthcare facilities. Healthcare professionals will be compensated differently depending on the location they work in. For example, ultrasound technologists working in outpatient care centers earned a mean annual pay of $102,070, which is more than those in other facilities earned, according to the BLS in 2020 (conditions in your area may vary). Different work shifts
Sonographers may be required to work a variety of shifts at numerous times throughout the day.
