Content: This was the first written governmental framework in the New World. In 1629, a fleet of 12 ships known as the Winthrop Fleet left England and headed for Massachusetts. It reached Salem, Massachusetts, on June 12th. Winthrop himself sailed aboard the Arbella. It was while he was still aboard the Arbella that Winthrop gave a famous speech in which he said: " [F]or wee must Consider that wee shall be as a Citty upon a Hill, the eies of all people are uppon us; soe that if wee shall deale falsely with our god in this worke wee have undertaken and soe cause him to withdrawe his present help from us, wee shall be made a story and a byword through the world, wee shall open the mouthes of enemies to speake evill of the wayes of god and all professours for Gods sake...."
These words embody the spirit of the Puritans who founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony. While they emigrated to the New World to be able to freely practice their religion, they did not espouse freedom of religion for other settlers. Settling Boston
Though Winthrop's Fleet landed at Salem, they did not stay; the tiny settlement simply couldn't support hundreds of additional settlers. | http://americanhistory.about.com/cs/colonialamerica/p/masscolony.htm |

Though Winthrop's Fleet landed at Salem, they did not stay; the tiny settlement simply couldn't support hundreds of additional settlers. Within a short time, Winthrop and his group had moved, at the invitation of Winthrop's college friend William Blackstone, to a new location on a nearby peninsula. In 1630, they renamed their settlement Boston after the town they had left in England. In 1632, Boston was made the capital of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. By 1640, hundreds more English Puritans had joined Winthrop and Blackstone in their new colony. By 1750, more than 15,000 colonists lived in Massachusetts. | http://americanhistory.about.com/cs/colonialamerica/p/masscolony.htm |

The New Deal was a sweeping package of public works projects, federal regulations, and financial system reforms enacted by the United States federal government in an effort to help the nation survive and recover from the Great Depression of the 1930s. The New Deal programs created jobs and provided financial support for the unemployed, the young, and the elderly, and added safeguards and constraints to the banking industry and monetary system. Purposes of the New Deal Programs
Mostly enacted during the first term of President Franklin D. Roosevelt between 1933 and 1938, the New Deal was implemented through legislation enacted by Congress and presidential executive orders. The programs addressed what historians call the “3 Rs” of dealing with the depression, Relief, Recovery, and Reform— relief for the poor and jobless, recovery of the economy, and reform of the nation’s financial system to safeguard against future depressions. The Great Depression, which lasted from 1929 to 1939, was the largest and most significant economic depression to affect both the United States and all Western countries. The stock market crash on Oct. 29, 1929, is infamously known as Black Tuesday, when stocks fell 13.5%. The next day's drop of 11.7% and a total decline of 55% between 1929 and 1933 made it the worst stock market decline in the history of the United States. | http://americanhistory.about.com/od/greatdepression/tp/new_deal_programs.htm |

Watch Now: What Led to the Great Depression?
Content: Besides programs built to directly help those affected by the Great Depression, the New Deal included legislation intended to correct the situations that led to the stock market crash of 1929. Two prominent actions were the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, which created the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the creation of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 1934 to be a watchdog over the stock market and police dishonest practices. The following are the top 10 programs of the New Deal. 01

Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC)

The Civilian Conservation Corps was created in 1933 by FDR to combat unemployment. This work relief program had the desired effect, providing jobs for many thousands of Americans during the Great Depression. The CCC was responsible for building many public works projects and created structures and trails in parks across the nation that are still in use today. 02

The Civil Works Administration was also formed in 1933 to create jobs for the unemployed. Its focus on high-paying jobs in the construction sector resulted in a much greater expense to the federal government than originally anticipated. The CWA ended in 1934 in large part because of opposition to its cost. 03

Social Security Act (SSA)
Library of Congress
The Social Security Act of 1935 was designed to combat widespread poverty among senior citizens and to aid the disabled. The government program, one of the few parts of the New Deal still in existence, provides income to retired wage earners and the disabled who have paid into the program throughout their working lives via a payroll deduction. The program has become one of the most popular government programs ever and is funded by current wage earners and their employers. The Social Security Act evolved from the Townsend Plan, an effort to establish government-funded pensions for the elderly led by Dr. Francis Townsend . 09

Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)
Library of Congress
The Tennessee Valley Authority was established in 1933 to develop the economy in the Tennessee Valley region, which had been hit extremely hard by the Great Depression. The TVA was and is a federally owned corporation that still works in this region. It is the largest public provider of electricity in the United States. 10

The Works Progress Administration was created in 1935. As the largest New Deal agency, the WPA affected millions of Americans and provided jobs across the nation.

On February 15, 1898, an explosion occurred on the USS Maine in Havana Harbor. At that time, Cuba was ruled by Spain and Cuban rebels were engaged in a war for independence. Relations between America and Spain were strained. When 266 Americans were killed in the explosion, many Americans, especially in the press, started claiming that the event was a sign of sabotage on the part of Spain.

Self-Emancipation
For most white Americans, the Civil War was a war for the Union. But for black Americans, it was a battle for freedom. Determined to end slavery, tens of thousands of enslaved African Americans used the war to escape their bondage. As the Union Army drove into the Confederacy, enslaved people stole away and entered Union lines. These thousands of African Americans made their freedom a fact. Within two years, President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation and made ending slavery government policy. “Imagine, if you will . . . an army of slaves and fugitives, pushing its way irresistibly toward an army of fighting men. . . .

Pregnancy Tests – the best time to take one
The trick in taking a pregnancy test, especially when you’re hoping for a positive result is in the timing. It’s best to take the pregnancy the day after you’re expecting your period. That means if you’re expecting it Monday, take the pregnancy test on Tuesday or later. Take the test first thing in the morning. That’s when HCG is most prevalent in your urine. Then follow the directions on the pregnancy test. Share

Most doctors recommend that you wait until the first day of your missed period before taking a urine pregnancy test. This is usually about two weeks after conception. However, some tests are more sensitive than others and can be taken earlier. How accurate are urine tests? Urine tests or home pregnancy tests are around 97% accuratewhen done correctly. Home pregnancy tests are great to use because they can be done at home, they are usually low in cost (anywhere from $7.99 to $19.99), private, they give a fast result, and are easy to use. However, if done incorrectly or taken too early, the result can be inaccurate. If you get a negative result and still have symptoms of pregnancy (missed period, nausea, breast tenderness, and fatigue), wait a week and take another test or contact your doctor so you can have a blood test done. | http://americanpregnancy.org/getting-pregnant/understanding-pregnancy-tests |

How can I determine if I qualify for Medicaid?
Content: You will need to contact your local Medicaid office to find out what they require for Medicaid qualification documentation, but most offices require the following: Proof of pregnancy
Proof of citizenship, if a legal US resident ( and identification documentation such as a birth certificate or social security card)
Proof of non-citizenship if not a US resident
Proof of income
What benefits does pregnancy Medicaid provide? Similar to other health care assistance programs, Medicaid does not pay monetary benefits directly to covered participants. Certain health care providers and health care facilities have a contract with Medicaid to treat those who are covered by Medicaid insurance. When receiving Medicaid benefits, you should be given a list of medical providers who accept Medicaid or given a website to look for a provider in your area. As long as you receive care from a Medicaid provider, your health care costs will be submitted through Medicaid and will be covered. ( In accordance with certain Medicaid regulations and guidelines.) Pregnant women are covered for all care related to the pregnancy, delivery and any complications that may occur during pregnancy and up to 60 days postpartum. Additionally, pregnant women also may qualify for care that was received for their pregnancy before they applied and received Medicaid. Some states call this “Presumptive Eligibility” and it was put in place so that all women would start necessary prenatal care as early in pregnancy as possible. | http://americanpregnancy.org/planning/medicaid-for-pregnant-women/ |

Content: If you are experiencing symptoms similar to a yeast infection, but a physician has ruled out this diagnosis, you may have one of the following: A sexually transmitted disease (STD) like chlamydia, gonorrhea, or trichomoniasis
A vaginal infection called bacterial vaginosis
How do I know for sure if I have a yeast infection? Your health care provider will use a simple, painless swab to remove the discharge or vaginal secretions and examine the sample through a microscope in the office. Usually, upon a simple examination of the vagina, a physician can diagnose a yeast infection. In rare cases, the culture may be sent to a lab. How are yeast infections treated? A yeast infection can be treated by creams that can be applied vaginally. Monistat, Gyne-Lotrimin, or prescription Terazol or Vagistat provide immediate relief of burning on the vulva and should completely clear up the infection in a week. Medications are taken orally, such as prescription Diflucan, Sporanox, Nystatin, and Nizoral, clear up the infection within a few days but provide slower relief of burning and itching. Ask your doctor about using cream topically to relieve itching and burning as well as a one-dose oral medication to clear it up as quickly as possible. | http://americanpregnancy.org/womens-health/yeast-infections/ |

Content: How did we come to define it? And is it changing? The American dream has roots in the nation's loftiest ideals - the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. So when did it also come to mean a house, a car and a college education? There are many facets to the American dream, including a strong belief in freedom, and a powerful desire to consume.

Content: An historian first coined the phrase "American dream" in 1931. He said it meant more than having "motor cars and high wages." But for many Americans, that's exactly what it was. The seeds for America's consumer expectations were planted during a time of widespread scarcity: the Great Depression. Imagine being told you could buy a house with no money down or attend college for free. That's what the G.I. Bill offered World War II veterans. The U.S. government unlocked the American dream for millions of veterans in the 1950s – but not for all. Black veterans often got shut out. The postwar era seemed to promise each new generation more prosperity than the last. | http://americanradioworks.publicradio.org/features/americandream/ |

Globalization
Globalization of Culture
A majority of Americans has a favorable view of American popular culture, though a large minority of the public is pessimistic about the quality of US movies and television. Americans are divided about the spread of American culture, but only a small minority considers the dominance of US culture a threat to other cultures. When it comes to globalization bringing greater cultural influences into the US, Americans express a positive attitude. One of the most controversial aspects of globalization is the worldwide spread and dominance of American culture. Just as US goods flooded world markets in the post-Word War II era, US culture is now penetrating every continent through the dramatic growth of mass communications such as music, television, films and the Internet, as well as through the penetration of American corporations into foreign countries. From China to France to the Middle East, foreign leaders and activists have expressed fear that global culture may become too Americanized, destroying their own cultural, economic, and religious traditions. Where does the majority public stand? Evaluation of American Culture
Polls show that a majority of Americans have a positive view of US culture. In the January 2004 PIPA poll, 55% said they had a favorable view of "American popular culture, such as music, television, and films". | http://americans-world.org/digest/global_issues/globalization/culture.cfm |

Polls show that a majority of Americans have a positive view of US culture. In the January 2004 PIPA poll, 55% said they had a favorable view of "American popular culture, such as music, television, and films". Forty-three percent found it to be unfavorable. This is a bit less favorable than when the question was asked in October 1999 and 60% had a favorable view and 39% said unfavorable. Those who expressed a "very favorable" view declined from 21% to 11% between 1999 and 2004. [ 1]
With regard to the content of films and television, though, a substantial minority has serious misgivings about the direction of US culture. In a February 1999 Los Angeles Times Poll, respondents were nearly divided on the question of the quality of American movies, with 47% saying they were satisfied and 42% saying they were dissatisfied. | http://americans-world.org/digest/global_issues/globalization/culture.cfm |

For example, French restrictions on the showing of foreign films-the only trade restriction presented based on cultural grounds-was the only restriction a majority of Americans (54%) rejected as illegitimate in PIPA's October 1999 poll.

Content: The light that is absorbed the best is blue, so this shows the highest rate of photosynthesis, after which comes red light. Green light cannot be absorbed by the plant, and thus cannot be used for photosynthesis. Chlorophyll looks green because it absorbs red and blue light, making these colours unavailable to be seen by our eyes. It is the green light which is not absorbed that finally reaches our eyes, making the chlorophyll appear green. Factors affecting Photosynthesis
For a constant rate of photosynthesis, various factors are needed at an optimum level. Here are some of the factors affecting photosynthesis. Light Intensity: An increased light intensity leads to a high rate of photosynthesis and a low light intensity would mean low rate of photosynthesis. Concentration of CO 2: Higher carbon dioxide concentration increases the rate of photosynthesis. | http://amrita.olabs.edu.in/?brch=16&cnt=1&sim=126&sub=79 |

Similarities Between Republicans and Democrats
Although it’s a politician’s goal to make you see the difference from one party to another, there are some things they can’t get around. They do disagree and have different solutions to most things but they find common grounds when it comes to some broader topics. After dissecting this image for any similarities, I found that their general view of the country, their expectations of the following generations and what a community should be based, are comparable in nature. One of the greatest similarities Republicans and Democrats have in common is their belief that our country is not currently in a good position. They both want to see change. Sure, the Republicans have a more traditional outlook and think that the past is the way to improve, and Democrats have a progressive view in which they look towards the future to change. But the fact is that they want change. When you don’t look so much to how they are going to get to this new status, but more what they want to get to, you can see a common interest. Another noticeable resemblance of these two parties is that they expect children to create relationships with adults based on respect and the adults want these children to grow up strong in a society based on their parties’ beliefs. | http://amtrem.blogspot.com/2012/05/similarities-between-republicans-and.html |

The Olympic Games
Content: In essence, from their conception in the early days, the Olympic games reflected the values that were to characterize Greek civilization for the next five hundred years. First, during the games warring Greeks had to cease all hostilities because it was mandatory to participate in peaceful assembly. To this end, officials from Olympia traveled ahead of time throughout Greece to announce the assembly and to proclaim the ekecheiria, the ceasing of all hostilities (for up to three months) so all participants can find safe passage to the sanctuary. More importantly, the games reflected the Greek's ideals that have won them admiration for millennia to come: the free individual who aspires to achieve excellence through an agon (struggle, or contest) governed by just laws. Just like the games, Greeks in their everyday lives competed intensely with each other in the political realm, in the economy, and in the battlefield. They competed by placing enormous importance on the value of the individual, and by respecting the rule of law that was above all. Initially, the games were a local affair and the only event was the sprinting race, but in the 8th and 7th centuries BCE wrestling, boxing, and equestrian events were added, as well as the pentathlon (an event that combined running, long jump, discus and javelin throwing, and wrestling), and the pancration which was a vicious form of boxing with little to no rules. The Olympics in ancient Greece also included poetry and writing competition, and it provided a peaceful ground where Greeks discussed and forged agreements on military, commercial, and political matters. Olympia declared the games and chose a group of hellanodikai (game officials) who supervised preparations of the event and the athletes. | http://ancient-greece.org/culture/olympic-games.html |

Olympia declared the games and chose a group of hellanodikai (game officials) who supervised preparations of the event and the athletes. Competitors prepared for the events for ten months, and they resided and trained in Olympia during the last month before the games began. During the games, thousands of visitors traveled to Olympia, creating a crowded scene with folk camping wherever they could find a space to spread their blanket. Most did not even get to see the athletic events since the limited capacity stadium was completely occupied by the early squatters. While the modern Olympic games are a sort of crowded circus, improved infrastructure in transportation, sewage, architecture, and crowd control make them an almost bearable affair for the spectators. The ancient gathering however must have been a very visceral affair, vividly described by Epictetus (chapter 6): | http://ancient-greece.org/culture/olympic-games.html |

Content: He won the race by fielding ten horses while all competitors could use four. In the end he was declared a winner even though he had abandoned the race, but the records were later expunged. Because the games were integrated with the worship of Zeus--a Pagan god-- they were not approved by the Christians of the late Roman empire, and were banned in 393 CE by emperor Theodosius I in his drive to purge all Pagan festivals. He also ordered the destruction of the temples of Olympia, and soon that the sanctuary along with the Olympic games were forgotten. But 1500 years after Theodosius' ban, the modern Olympic revival began in 1896, when the first modern Olympics convened in Athens with the patronage and leadership of Baron Pierre de Coubertin of France. For the occasion, the Hellenistic Panathenaic stadium was renovated to host the games in Athens. The first Greek to win the modern games was Spyridon Louis, a water seller who won the Marathon event. Since 1896, the Olympics have occurred every four years in different countries (interrupted only by the two World Wars), and they have become one of the largest sports entertainment events in the world, drawing billions of dollars in revenues, and enjoying wide participation by the vast majority of nations. As a tribute to their ancient roots, before each Olympic event the Olympic flame is initiated in ancient Olympia, in the temple of Hera. In an imaginative choreography that depicts the ancient Vestal Virgins, the olympic torch is ignited by sun rays concentrated by a concave mirror on its tip. | http://ancient-greece.org/culture/olympic-games.html |

By the 8th century BCE, centralized leadership in China was fragmenting. Between 722 and 221 BCE, various city-states were at war with the Zhou. Some established themselves as independent feudal entities. It was during this period that the religious and philosophical movements of Confucianism and Taoism developed. 05

The Qin or Ch'in (likely origin of "China") existed during the Warring States Period and came to power as a dynasty (221–206/207 BCE) when the first emperor Shi Huangdi (Shih Huang-ti), unified China for the first time in history. The Qin emperor is responsible for beginning the Great Wall of China, and his astounding tomb was filled with an army of life-sized terracotta soldiers . The Qin is the start of the imperial period, which ended fairly recently, in 1912. 06

A tyrant—also known as a basileus or king—in ancient Greece meant something different from our modern concept of a tyrant as simply a cruel and oppressive despot. A tyrant was little more than an autocrat or leader who had overturned an existing regime of a Greek polis and was, therefore, an illegitimate ruler, a usurper. They even had some measure of popular support, according to Aristotle. " Before Turannoi Were Tyrants: Rethinking a Chapter of Early Greek History," by Greg Anderson, suggests that because of this confusion with modern tyranny, the perfectly good Greek word should be removed from scholarship on early Greece. Peisistratus (Pisistratus) was one of the most famous of the Athenian tyrants. It was after the fall of the sons of Peisistratus that Cleisthenes and democracy came to Athens . Aristotle and Tyrants

In his article, "The First Tyrants in Greece," Robert Drews paraphrases Aristotle as saying that the tyrant was a degenerate type of monarch who came to power because of how insufferable the aristocracy was. The people of the demos, fed up, found a tyrant to champion them. Drews adds that the tyrant himself had to be ambitious, possessing the Greek concept of philotimia, which he describes as the desire for power and prestige. This quality is also common to the modern version of the self-serving tyrant. Tyrants were sometimes preferred to aristocrats and kings. The article, " Τύραννος. The Semantics of a Political Concept from Archilochus to Aristotle," by Victor Parker says the first use of the term tyrant comes from the mid-seventh century B.C., and the first negative use of the term, about a half-century later or perhaps as late as the second quarter of the sixth.

Nudity At The Games?
From Ancient to Modern
The Olympic Flame
Content: It is not clear if the very first recorded victor at Olympia, Koroibos, who won the stadion race in 776 B.C. wore shorts or not. It seems fairly clear that by the late 8th century nudity was common for the male contestants. From Ancient to Modern
Although the ancient Games were staged in Olympia, Greece, from 776 BC through 393 AD, it took 1503 years for the Olympics to return. The first modern Olympics were held in Athens, Greece, in 1896. The man responsible for its rebirth was a Frenchman named Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who presented the idea in 1894. His original thought was to unveil the modern Games in 1900 in his native Paris, but delegates from 34 countries were so enthralled with the concept that they convinced him to move the Games up to 1896 and have Athens serve as the first host. The Olympic Flame
The idea of the Olympic torch or Olympic Flame was first inaugurated in the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam. There was no torch relay in the ancient Olympic Games. There were known, however, torch relays in other ancient Greek athletic festivals including those held at Athens. The modern Olympic torch relay was first instituted at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. | http://ancientolympicgames.org/games/ |

Andrew Carnegie's Lasting Impact
What Carnegie did was nothing small. Thanks to his greatly improved steel production, steel was cheaper and more easily available. Because of this, skyscrapers became reality instead of fantasy-springing up in cities all over. Carnegie's advancements in steel fed the national economy as well as the second industrial revolution. He created jobs for many, including immigrants. The growing popularity of skyscrapers meant that more and more were being built, and of course people were needed to build them. The job was very dangerous, and some men died while performing it, but money was money, and many immigrants had very little of that to begin with. Today, evidence of Carnegie's brilliance is everywhere-in the libraries and music halls he funded, the technical institute bearing his name, but most of all in our cities skylines. America would not be where it is today if not for Andrew Carnegie. | http://andrewcarnegieproject.weebly.com/carnegies-impact.html |

FIGURATIVE POEMS
Figurative language is simply a descriptive way of writing which helps the reader to imagine a picture of the subject or scene, and to bring out the reader’s emotions and help them to relate to the words. In other words, it’s just about using different ways to make your writing interesting! There are many different ways to do this by: making comparisons (similes and metaphors), repeating sounds (alliteration, assonance and consonance), exaggeration (hyperbole), appealing to the senses (onomatopoeia), and creating images (imagery and personification). Many of my poems include figurative language; some will maybe only use one form, others will use lots. Therefore, all the poems listed below include some element of figurative language, but they are also then separated into ALLITERATION POEMS, PERSONIFICATION POEMS etc, according to what figurative language is included, so if you are looking for specific examples just look at the drop down menu that appears when you hover over the heading of FIGURATIVE POEMS. My poems will, of course, be duplicated in several of the categories of figurative poems if they include more than one element of figurative language. Look at the TEACHERS’ PAGE, FIGURATIVE WRITING intro to understand more about what each type of figurative language is; it’s nothing like as complicated as the words make it sound! | http://angelaspoems.com/category/figurative-poems/ |

Contemplate your own teeth for a second. We usually only think about them when there's something wrong -- a chip, a cavity, discoloration. But teeth themselves are incredibly durable, able to survive fire and outlast the rest of your body after death.

Next, spray a 2 percent chlorine solution to sanitize the area. Scrub the sow with soap and water as well to prevent her from spreading bacteria to her piglets. Early Care
After birth, dose the navel in iodine to prevent the area from becoming infected. Since newborn potbellied pigs are deficient in iron and do not receive this mineral from their mother’s milk, they need an iron supplement. If you do not have experience vaccinating animals, ask your veterinarian to give an iron injection. Another school of thought is to provide your piglets with a box of dirt for them to play in. This will help them receive adequate iron naturally instead of through an injection. | http://animals.mom.me/old-mini-pigs-eat-hard-food-11262.html |

Content: Unknown
What is the narwhal? The narwhal is the unicorn of the sea, a pale-colored porpoise found in Arctic coastal waters and rivers. Narwhal tusks
These legendary animals have two teeth. In males, the more prominent tooth grows into a swordlike, spiral tusk up to 10 feet long. The ivory tusk tooth grows right through the narwhal's upper lip. Scientists are not certain of the tusk's purpose, but some believe it is prominent in mating rituals, perhaps used to impress females or to battle rival suitors. Females sometimes grow a small tusk of their own, but it does not become as prominent as the male's. Group travel
Narwhals are related to bottlenose dolphins, belugas, harbor porpoises, and orcas. Like some other porpoises, they travel in groups and feed on fish, shrimp, squid, and other aquatic fare. They are often sighted swimming in groups of 15 to 20, but gatherings of hundreds—or even several thousands—of narwhals have been reported. | http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/narwhal/ |

Content: When it leaves the stomach, food is the consistency of a liquid or paste. From there the food moves to the small intestine. Small Intestine
Made up of three segments, the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, the small intestine is a long tube loosely coiled in the abdomen (spread out, it would be more than 20 feet long). The small intestine continues the process of breaking down food by using enzymes released by the pancreas and bile from the liver. Bile is a compound that aids in the digestion of fat and eliminates waste products from the blood. Peristalsis (contractions) is also at work in this organ, moving food through and mixing it up with digestive secretions. The duodenum is largely responsible for continuing the process of breaking down food, with the jejunum and ileum being mainly responsible for the absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream. Continued
Three organs play a pivotal role in helping the stomach and small intestine digest food: Pancreas
Among other functions, the oblong pancreas secretes enzymes into the small intestine. These enzymes break down protein, fat, and carbohydrates from the food we eat. | http://answers.webmd.com/answers/5002406/how-long-does-it-take-for-food-to-pass-through-the-stomach-and-small-intestine-to-the-large-intestine |

What Is Bactrim Used For? Bactrim ® ( sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim) is an antibiotic used to treat a variety of different infections. In particular, Bactrim is approved to treat the following infections: Urinary tract infections ( UTIs ), such as bladder infections
Ear infections
Acute worsening of chronic bronchitis
Shigellosis (a form of dysentery)
Traveler's diarrhea
A certain type of pneumonia known as Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. Bactrim is also approved to prevent Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in people with weakened immune systems at risk for the infection (such as people with HIV or AIDS ). Bactrim is approved for treating the infections listed above only when they are caused by certain types of bacteria. Not all bacteria will respond to Bactrim. Even among the types of bacteria that do respond to Bactrim, some strains may have become resistant and may have different resistance patterns in different regions in the country. This means that some bacteria may be susceptible to Bactrim in certain parts of the country but not in others. It is important to remember that Bactrim is completely ineffective for treating viral illnesses (such as the common cold or the flu ). | http://antibiotics.emedtv.com/bactrim/bactrim-uses.html |

Septra contains two different antibiotics, sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. Trimethoprim does not belong to a specific class of medications. Sulfamethoxazole belongs to a group of drugs known as sulfonamides ("sulfa" drugs). These two antibiotics work in different but similar ways. Essentially, both sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim work by inhibiting the production of folic acid in bacteria, although they work in different stages of folic acid production. Folic acid is important for making proteins and DNA. Because humans obtain folic acid from the diet (and bacteria cannot), human cells are less affected by Septra. Combining sulfamethoxazole with trimethoprim increases the effectiveness and decreases the chance of antibiotic resistance (the development of bacteria with the ability to resist antibiotics). | http://antibiotics.emedtv.com/septra/septra.html |

Content: What would take muscle tissue just one day to heal, would take connective tissue 7-10 days to heal. You cannot speed up this process through magic. This is why it is imperative you do not aggravate your condition further by “pushing through the pain” or anything silly like that. Heed the pain signals your body is giving you. Don’t worry, your wrists will not only heal, but be stronger than before! When I had sprained my wrist, I met another guy who had a sprained wrist as well, and I was like, “Oh man that sucks!” And he actually replied with, “No it doesn’t suck.” I was bewildered and I asked why. He said because he was now taking care of it, letting it heal and doing wrist exercises, and as a result of all this, it’s actually going to end up being stronger than it ever was before!

Content: No more … you know what. Don’t be depressed, you’re not going to be fucked for the rest of your life. You’re not going to be crippled forever just cause of this sprain, so stop worrying about that. But what will make you lose a lot is if you become impatient, try working out before it’s healed, fuck your wrist up all over again, and then instead of waiting 2-4 weeks, you end up waiting months. Take a strong mental note of what you did that caused your wrist to hurt so you don’t make the same mistake again. For me, the first thing that caused a sprain was holding an L-sit on a 2″ slackline. The next time, it was from doing wrist-to-fist push ups. Ironically, this is an exercise that I was doing for strengthening my wrists. I had been doing them on my knees without any problems. I tried to do one rep in plank position just to see if I could and I hurt my wrist. | http://antranik.org/wrist-sprains/ |

Content: I will never just jump into a handstand anymore without thoroughly warming up my wrists so they have better range of motion. If I didn’t take mental note of these things, I could very easily make the same mistakes again. ( Our memory sucks!) How long does it take to recover from a sprain? Your recovery depends on the severity of your sprain and how good you are about not aggravating your condition further. I’ve had it range anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks. I remember the first time I sprained my wrist, it got 90% better after 2 weeks, but then I wasn’t patient enough to let it heal up completely, and I tried working out and messed it up and had to wait an extra 2-3 weeks all over again. So that sucked. I also was a total noob and didn’t know the things I know now, which is why this post is so lengthy.

Content: I’ve had it range anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks. I remember the first time I sprained my wrist, it got 90% better after 2 weeks, but then I wasn’t patient enough to let it heal up completely, and I tried working out and messed it up and had to wait an extra 2-3 weeks all over again. So that sucked. I also was a total noob and didn’t know the things I know now, which is why this post is so lengthy. Stop using your injured wrist for even the smallest things that hurt! You may think that opening a door with your injured wrist may not be a big deal since it only hurts for just a fraction of a second, but all moments add up! Completely abstaining from using my wrist in even the tiniest ways was crucial to my recovery. For example: I started opening doors only with my non-injured hand. I put on my seat belt only with my non-injured hand. | http://antranik.org/wrist-sprains/ |

Content: Whether dipped, drizzled, sautéed or fried, extra virgin olive oil can be a healthy ingredient in any meal or snack. It can even be a healthy and tasty substitute for butter in baking and other preparations. Isn’t extra virgin olive oil expensive? Dr. Mary Flynn writes “Apart from the considerable health benefits of extra virgin olive oil, when you work out the cost of olive oil per tablespoon, it's actually quite inexpensive. A 17 fl. oz bottle of olive oil contains approximately 32 tablespoons, and a liter contains 64 tablespoons. Many extra virgin olive oils cost less than 30 cents per tablespoon, so my recommended dose of 3 tablespoons of oil per meal costs 90 cents.” Mary Flynn, PhD, RD is Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine at Brown University’s Alpert Medical School in Providence, Rhode Island. 1
Key American Olive Oil Facts
Olive oil has been produced in the US for more than 150 years. There are approximately 45,000 acres of olives planted exclusively for the production of olive oil in the United States. | http://aoopa.org/olive-oil-101 |

Content: Perhaps you would enlist the support of more experienced rafters as you plan your route or rely on the companionship of trusted friends along the way. Maybe you would pack an extra life jacket or consider using a stronger raft. With the right tools and supports in place, one thing is sure: You will not only make it through the challenges of your river adventure. You will also emerge a more confident and courageous rafter. What is resilience? Life may not come with a map, but everyone will experience twists and turns, from everyday challenges to traumatic events with more lasting impact, like the death of a loved one, a life-altering accident, or a serious illness. Each change affects people differently, bringing a unique flood of thoughts, strong emotions and uncertainty. Yet people generally adapt well over time to life-changing situations and stressful situations—in part thanks to resilience. Psychologists define resilience as the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats, or significant sources of stress—such as family and relationship problems, serious health problems, or workplace and financial stressors. | http://apa.org/helpcenter/resilience.aspx |

As much as resilience involves “bouncing back” from these difficult experiences, it can also involve profound personal growth. While these adverse events, much like rough river waters, are certainly painful and difficult, they don’t have to determine the outcome of your life. There are many aspects of your life you can control, modify, and grow with. That’s the role of resilience. Becoming more resilient not only helps you get through difficult circumstances, it also empowers you to grow and even improve your life along the way. | http://apa.org/helpcenter/resilience.aspx |

Being resilient doesn’t mean that a person won’t experience difficulty or distress. People who have suffered major adversity or trauma in their lives commonly experience emotional pain and stress. In fact, the road to resilience is likely to involve considerable emotional distress. While certain factors might make some individuals more resilient than others, resilience isn’t necessarily a personality trait that only some people possess. On the contrary, resilience involves behaviors, thoughts, and actions that anyone can learn and develop. | http://apa.org/helpcenter/resilience.aspx |

Phylum Aschelminthes
Six different classes, dominated by the Class Nematoda, represent Aschelminthes as a phylum. The nematodes (Nema, thread) or roundworms are ubiquitous small worms that dwarf in numbers all other groups of multicellular animals except insects and mites. Aschelminthes are pseudocoelomate, unsegmented worms that are covered with a cuticle. An unusual aschelminth trait is parthenogenesis (development of an unfertilised egg). In the classes Nematoda, Rotifera and Gastrotricha, males may be lacking and successive generations of females are produced parthenogenetically
Still another remarkable characteristic of the phylum is the consistency of cell numbers (eutely), in which a precise and relatively small number of cells, remaining unvaried throughout the animal’s life, comprise both specific organs and the entire animal. The number, constant not only for the species but also for the taxonomic group, can be used as part of its morphological definition (for example, the central nervous system in Ascaris and many other nematodes consists of 162 cells)
Class Nematoda
The class Nematoda is very important to us among the group as it consists of parasites of medical and veterinary importance. The class is characterized by the presence of a complete digestive system, consisting of a mouth, intestine, anus and absence of cilia. Nematodes are found practically in every ecological setting. They live in animals and plants as parasites and in mud, marine, fresh and brackish waters, soil and mud as free-living organisms. They vary in size from a few microns to slightly over a meter in length. | http://aparasiteworld.blogspot.com/2010/01/phylum-aschelminthes.html#! |

They vary in size from a few microns to slightly over a meter in length. Morphology
Nematodes are cylindrical in shape, tapering at both ends of the body. The digestive system is a long tube that runs from the buccal cavity to the anus. In hookworms, the mouth is armed with teeth or cutting plates. Some nematodes are provided with lips, papillae or a leaf crown around the external opening of the mouth. The pharynx (oesophagus) is a strong muscular tube with walls that can contract and expand, creating a pump-like suction mechanism. | http://aparasiteworld.blogspot.com/2010/01/phylum-aschelminthes.html#! |

Class Nematoda
Generalized structure of male (A) and female (B) nematode
Introduction to Medical Parasitology
Content: The cloaca serves as a conduit for sperm and digestive wastes. Copulatory spicules protrude through the cloaca opening. The spicules, usually two in number, unite and form a tube through which spermatozoa are injected into the vulva and vagina of the female. Generalized structure of male (A) and female (B) nematode
Nematodes are classified into two subclasses: Phasmidia (have caudal sensory organs) and Aphasmidia (lack caudal sensory organs). The phasmids include most soil nematodes, most parasites of insects and vertebrates. The aphasmids are mainly aquatic forms and a few parasitic ones. Life cycle
Life cycles differ greatly among the many nematodes that are parasites of man. Mature female worms produce eggs, which pass out of the body with faeces. Most of the eggs are produced when they are not embryonated and become embryonated in the soil. | http://aparasiteworld.blogspot.com/2010/01/phylum-aschelminthes.html#! |

Life cycles differ greatly among the many nematodes that are parasites of man. Mature female worms produce eggs, which pass out of the body with faeces. Most of the eggs are produced when they are not embryonated and become embryonated in the soil. The embryonated eggs are ingested and under the action of the gastric juices of the host, the larvae are liberated from the eggs. In some parasites, such as Ascaris, the larvae penetrate the wall of the small intestine and migrate to the lungs via the blood. From the lungs, they reach the pharynx and finally settle in the small intestine, where they will attain maturity, mate and produce eggs. In other nematodes, such as hookworms, the larvae hatch from eggs in the soil and after going through several moults become infective. These third stage infective forms enter the body through the skin. | http://aparasiteworld.blogspot.com/2010/01/phylum-aschelminthes.html#! |

Comprehensive plans — Urban growth areas. (1) Each county that is required or chooses to plan under RCW 36.70A.040 shall designate an urban growth area or areas within which urban growth shall be encouraged and outside of which growth can occur only if it is not urban in nature. Each city that is located in such a county shall be included within an urban growth area. An urban growth area may include more than a single city. An urban growth area may include territory that is located outside of a city only if such territory already is characterized by urban growth whether or not the urban growth area includes a city, or is adjacent to territory already characterized by urban growth, or is a designated new fully contained community as defined by RCW 36.70A.350. (2) Based upon the growth management population projection made for the county by the office of financial management, the county and each city within the county shall include areas and densities sufficient to permit the urban growth that is projected to occur in the county or city for the succeeding twenty-year period, except for those urban growth areas contained totally within a national historical reserve. As part of this planning process, each city within the county must include areas sufficient to accommodate the broad range of needs and uses that will accompany the projected urban growth including, as appropriate, medical, governmental, institutional, commercial, service, retail, and other nonresidential uses. Each urban growth area shall permit urban densities and shall include greenbelt and open space areas. | http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=36.70A.110 |

Studies of homicide consequences
Beyond its direct impact, homicide has serious negative effects on the lives of surviving family members, particularly children. Psychological effects include anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, aggression, guilt and a heightened sense of vulnerability. Socio-occupational effects include problems in school and at work. Homicide may also lead families to incur expenses they can ill afford, such as funeral costs and lawyer fees. If the victim was a breadwinner, families may no longer be able to cope financially. Homicide can generate a sense of insecurity in society, and when high rates occur in countries with weak, inefficient and corrupt criminal justice systems, can contribute to undermining social and economic development.

Homicide is caused by mix of factors at the individual, relationship, community and societal levels. Demographic structure is a well-established risk factor for homicide. Societies where young people – particularly young males – make up a greater share of the population tend to have higher homicide rates. Transitions in political regimes may also be associated with increased homicide. The fall of Communism in Eastern Europe, apartheid in South Africa, and dictatorship in Brazil all saw rapid increases in homicide rates.

European Imperialism of Africa
Imperialism Definition--domination by a powerful nation over the political, economic, and cultural affairs of another nation or region
Sometimes called "The Scramble for Africa", European Imperialism was caused by the loss of American colonies during 1700 and 1800s, As a result, France, Britain, Portugal, Spain, Germany fought for African territory to replace their lost American work force and source of raw materials. The European Imperialism is the second wave of European colonization which began in the Americas in the 15th century. The Berlin conference started the main era of European Imperialism in Africa. The major European powers signed the Berlin Act, formalizing the partitioning of Africa. •Hostile tribes were thrown together. •Conflicting loyalties had grave consequences for the African tribes. •Natural dividing lines such as rivers or mountains were not considered
Different Types of Colonial Rule
–France-direct rule - local elites removed & replaced with European officials
•assimilated African subjects into French culture rather than preserve native traditions
–England-indirect rule – protectorates - local rulers allowed to keep positions of authority and status under European supervision
•benefit of not disrupting local customs and institutions. –Chinese Spheres of influence for many European countries
Causes of African Weakness
•Lack of unity within the region. | http://apworldhistory101.com/history-of-africa/imperialism/ |

Content: Just as one must appreciate the harmful potential of carcinogens in cigarettes, one must realize the harmful potential of racist jokes: stereotypes. Stereotypes form the basis of every racist joke. But racism has a double standard: stating, or even alluding to, a stereotype is considered offensive—but making a joke about that same stereotype is allowable. For instance, saying “All Americans are fat” is not a joke. But saying “Only in America can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance” is. This double standard has three very serious repercussions. The first most obvious effect is that it perpetuates racism. When a stereotype is made in a joke and goes uncontested, it is subtly being enforced. | http://aragonoutlook.org/2012/03/racial-humor-not-a-laughing-matter/ |

Content: The teenager is offended, but the rest of his friends just laugh. Not wanting to be seen as the odd-man out in the group, the teenager forces a laugh and doesn’t say anything to challenge the stereotype. This is oppression. The social politics of a racist joke told in a group setting renders one voiceless to hateful remarks made about their ethnicity. While some may say that opposing racist jokes is over-sensitive, racism, in any form, cannot be taken casually. Stereotyping is arguably the most dangerous phenomenon of the human condition. When left unchecked, it festers like a wound, and spreads like an infection. An example of a generalization overcoming society is the Japanese internment camps in the US during WWII. No one was willing to respect each Japanese person as an individual, and they were grouped together as a threat to the nation. This led to one of the most embarrassing blights in the nation’s history. | http://aragonoutlook.org/2012/03/racial-humor-not-a-laughing-matter/ |

While no one is saying that racist jokes led, or will lead, to internment camps, our society’s unwillingness to scrutinize the generalizations made during is reflected in our ability to excuse racist jokes. If racism is to finally cease to exist, this societal phenomenon must stop. Racist jokes and the stereotypes they project must eventually be challenge. Humor is not a valid excuse for the perpetuation of stereotypes. Racial humor must be recognized for what it really is: | http://aragonoutlook.org/2012/03/racial-humor-not-a-laughing-matter/ |

Content: Perhaps partsof science are like that. The size
and shape of the earth and its distance from the sun, the periodic
table of the elements, the proof of the Pythagorean Theorem--these
are all in a reasonable sense religiously neutral. But many other
areas of science are very different. They are obviously and deeply
involved in a clash between opposed religious world views. There
is no neat recipe for telling which parts of science are neutral
with respect to this contest and which are not; what we have is
a continuum rather than a simple distinction. But here is a rough
rule of thumb: the relevance of a bit of science to this contest
depends upon how closely that bit is involved in the attempt to
come to understand ourselves as human beings. Perhaps there is
another variable: how "theoretical" the bit in question
is, in the sense of being directed at understanding, as opposed
to control. | http://arn.org/docs/odesign/od181/methnat181.htm |

The Mexican mural movement, or Mexican muralism, began as a government-funded form of public art—specifically, large-scale wall paintings in civic buildings—in the wake of the Mexican Revolution (1910–20). The Revolution was a massive civil war helmed by a number of factions with charismatic leaders—Francisco Madero, Venustiano Carranza, Pancho Villa, Emiliano Zapata, to name a few—all of whom had very specific political and social agendas. After the Revolution, then, the government took on the very difficult project of transforming a divided Mexico of maderistas, carrancistas, villistas, zapatistas, and so on, into a coherent nation of mexicanos. To do so, it needed to create an official history of Mexico in which its citizens would find themselves, and it needed a medium that could propagate this to a largely poor, illiterate populace. Enter Mexican muralism. | http://arthistoryteachingresources.org/lessons/mexican-muralism/ |

The Mexican mural movement, or Mexican muralism, began as a government-funded form of public art—specifically, large-scale wall paintings in civic buildings—in the wake of the Mexican Revolution (1910–20). The Revolution was a massive civil war helmed by a number of factions with charismatic leaders—Francisco Madero, Venustiano Carranza, Pancho Villa, Emiliano Zapata, to name a few—all of whom had very specific political and social agendas. After the Revolution, then, the government took on the very difficult project of transforming a divided Mexico of maderistas, carrancistas, villistas, zapatistas, and so on, into a coherent nation of mexicanos. To do so, it needed to create an official history of Mexico in which its citizens would find themselves, and it needed a medium that could propagate this to a largely poor, illiterate populace. Enter Mexican muralism. Out of a host of Mexican artists, three emerged as its most devoted, celebrated, and prolific, to the extent that they came to be referred to as los tres grandes (“the three greats”): José Clemente Orozco (1883–1949), Diego Rivera (1886–1957), and David Alfaro Siqueiros (1896–1974). While the mural project employed a host of artists from across the country, the influence and prominence of Orozco, Rivera, and Siqueiros was so great that it makes sense to limit a discussion of muralism largely to them for an introductory lecture on the topic. Each had a different personality, ideology, style, and sphere of influence, and a well-developed survey on Mexican muralism can be taught through their works. This unit is an excellent opportunity to talk about the ways that artistic representation expresses cultural values: | http://arthistoryteachingresources.org/lessons/mexican-muralism/ |

Content: Out of a host of Mexican artists, three emerged as its most devoted, celebrated, and prolific, to the extent that they came to be referred to as los tres grandes (“the three greats”): José Clemente Orozco (1883–1949), Diego Rivera (1886–1957), and David Alfaro Siqueiros (1896–1974). While the mural project employed a host of artists from across the country, the influence and prominence of Orozco, Rivera, and Siqueiros was so great that it makes sense to limit a discussion of muralism largely to them for an introductory lecture on the topic. Each had a different personality, ideology, style, and sphere of influence, and a well-developed survey on Mexican muralism can be taught through their works. This unit is an excellent opportunity to talk about the ways that artistic representation expresses cultural values: in the 1920s when muralism began, there was a concern with defining a new “Mexican” character. This often led to themes of mestizaje (celebration of Mexico’s mixed-race heritage), but also recognition of the native value of the indigenous Indian. Stemming from a 1921 manifesto written by Siqueiros, muralism was pitched as an art of social and political engagement. Muralism provides a chance to talk about the intersection of art and politics, which may seem commonplace to your students now, but was widely debated throughout the twentieth century.
