Title: Mexican Muralism | Art History Teaching Resources Headings: Survey 1 See all→ Survey 2 See all→ Thematic Lesson Plans See all→ Content: 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. What is the goal of art? To what extent is art supposed to be autonomous and separated from everyday life? Does art that has a function cross the line from art to propaganda, or is there a hazier area between the two that is explored in works like these? Another major theme to discuss is the value of public art in society. What does public art accomplish? If muralism is monumental and public, how are its conditions different than small, private works of art that are made for consumption by the art market and institutions like museums?

Title: Mexican Muralism | Art History Teaching Resources Headings: Survey 1 See all→ Survey 2 See all→ Thematic Lesson Plans See all→ Content: Chronicle Books, 1998) falls into the first category: though it is often used as the go-to survey text, it is strong on Orozco and Rivera, but perhaps unnecessarily critical of the more politically and artistically radical Siqueiros. Leonard Folgarait’s Mural Painting and Social Revolution in Mexico, 1920–1940 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1998) is an excellent alternative treatment of the so-called “heroic period” of Mexican muralism—from the end of the Revolution to the end of the progressive regime of Lazaro Cardenas, at which point the Mexican presidency became much stricter about the course of muralism, limiting artistic choice. The Folgarait, Alejandro Anreus, and Robin Adele Greeley edited Mexican Muralism: A Critical History (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2012) also provides shorter thematic essays that cover the main three and also give an idea of how muralism evolved past 1940, until (and beyond) the death of last remaining grande Siqueiros in 1974. Each of the muralists also spent some amount of time in the 1920s and 30s in the United States, and their art and politics possessed a decidedly different value when marshalled outside of the Mexican governmental apparatus.

Robert Linsley’s “Utopia Will Not Be Televised: Rivera at Rockefeller Center,” Oxford Art Journal 17.2 (1994), 48–64 handles the political situation created in 1933 by John D. Rockefeller, Jr.’s decision to have a radical Communist paint a mural in the heart of New York City, and the fiasco that occurred when Rockefeller decided to censor it.

Title: Post-War Culture in America | Art History Unstuffed Headings: Post-War Culture in America Post-War Culture in America FROM MODERNISM TO POST-MODERNISM POST-WAR ART IN AMERICA If you have found this material useful, please give credit to Content: Postmodernism was a re-examination of Modernism and was based in philosophy and literary theory, rather than in the visual arts or aesthetics. Therefore, postmodernism could not generate a style or a movement. As a philosophical critique, postmodernism or post-structuralism was a European phenomenon, dating from the decade of the mid to late Fifties to Sixties. Fueled by the collapse of the Left, following “May, 1968” in France, postmodernism was a re-reading of Enlightenment philosophy, a philosophy that had proved inadequate to the challenges of the Twentieth Century. In Germany, postmodernism was really a form of post-Marxism, again, generated by the inadequacy of traditional Marxism to social and cultural changes, especially mass media. As an exercise of re-examination, postmodernism took the stance of “belatedness,” everything had already been done, all had been said, and the kind of historical progress promised by the Enlightenment was unlikely to occur. For years, most Americans in the art world paid little attention to postmodern theories, whether out of philosophy or literary theory. The reason for this neglect are various and include American self-satisfaction with the leadership position in visual culture, the slowness of translation, and the entrenchment of traditional art historical methods. When Americans became aware of the significance of postmodern thinking in the 1980s, most of the important works had either been written or were well underway. Suddenly belated, American art could only try to respond and to catch up to European thinking.

What are the arguments for extending the program again? Business David Lauter Content: they would lose benefits at that point. The Obama administration estimates that by the end of 2014, 4.9 million people will have been affected. Advertisement Why the change? In good times, the federal government and the states jointly provide up to 26 weeks of unemployment benefits, paid from employer payroll taxes, to people who lose their jobs. Advertisement The idea, which dates to the 1930s, is to help laid-off workers until they can find new jobs. Well over half of Americans either collect unemployment insurance during some part of their working lives or are married to someone who does. During periods of high unemployment, the federal government has expanded the unemployment insurance program with money from the general fund. Advertisement In June 2008, when the recession was young and the unemployment rate was 5.6%, Congress approved a 13-week extension. As the recession deepened, Congress passed additional expansions. At its peak, the program offered up to 99 weeks of coverage.

Obama said that if lawmakers approve it, he would sign the proposal “right away.” Advertisement The prospects for getting the bill through the Republican-controlled House, however, appear dim. What are the arguments for allowing benefits to expire? Advertisement Republicans have advanced three arguments: They said that the extension was always supposed to be temporary and now that nationwide unemployment has dropped to 7%, it’s time to go back to the basic of up to 26 weeks of coverage. Advertisement Extending benefits for an additional year would cost roughly $25 billion, they noted, which would add to the federal deficit. Some Republicans also argue that extended unemployment benefits provide a crutch that discourages people from looking for work. Advertisement What are the arguments for extending the program again?

The share of the nation’s workforce that has been unemployed for 27 weeks or longer has dropped, but at 2.6%, it remains as bad as the peak of long-term unemployment in any previous recession since the end of World War II. Advertisement Proponents of extended unemployment insurance scoff at the idea that the benefits deter people from looking for work. The problem, they said, is that jobs remain hard to find. Some evidence suggests that companies discriminate against people who have been out of work for a long time. As for the cost of benefits, supporters argue that by injecting money into the economy, unemployment benefits spur growth as recipients buy goods and services.

Title: Why Are Bees Dying Off? | Bee Colony Collapse Disorder Headings: Story at-a-glance - By Dr. Mercola California Almond Orchards Threatened by Bee Loss What’s Causing Bees to Die? EPA Blamed for Failure to Protect Bees Do You Trust Monsanto to Solve the Bee Colony Collapse Problem? Rodale Institute Tackles Bee Problem How You Can Help Protect the Bees Content: They get into the soil and groundwater where they can accumulate and remain for many years and present long-term toxicity to the hive. Neonicotinoids affect insects' central nervous systems in ways that are cumulative and irreversible. Even minute amounts can have profound effects over time. One of the observed effects of these insecticides is weakening of the bee's immune system. Forager bees bring pesticide-laden pollen back to the hive, where it's consumed by all of the bees. Six months later, their immune systems fail, and they fall prey to secondary, seemingly "natural" bee infections, such as parasites, mites, viruses, fungi and bacteria. The disappearance of bee colonies began accelerating in the United States shortly after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) allowed these new insecticides on the market in the mid-2000s. Last month, beekeepers and environmental groups filed a lawsuit against the agency over its failure to protect bees from these toxic pesticides. Meanwhile, France has banned Imidacloprid for use on corn and sunflowers after reporting large losses of bees after exposure to it. They also rejected Bayer´s application for Clothianidin, and other countries, such as Italy, have banned certain neonicotinoids as well.

For example, those suffering from depression will often experience chest pains, even when there’s nothing physically wrong with their heart. Extreme grief (or any other extremely stressful event) can also have a devastating impact—not for nothing is the saying that someone “died from a broken heart .” In the days after losing a loved one, your risk of suffering a heart attack shoots up by 21 times! While the mechanics of these mind-body links are still being unraveled, what is known is that your brain, and consequently, your thoughts and emotions, do play a role in your experience of physical pain, and can play a significant role in the development of chronic disease. For example, previous studies have linked stress to lowered immune system function, increased blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and altered brain chemistry, blood sugar levels, and hormonal balance. It has also been found to increase the rate at which tumors grow. 4 One of the reasons for this has to do with the way the biological stress response promotes inflammation in your body. When you're stressed, your body releases stress hormones like cortisol, which prepare your body to fight or flee the stressful event. Your heart rate increases, your lungs take in more oxygen, your blood flow increases, and parts of your immune system become temporarily suppressed, which reduces your inflammatory response to pathogens and other foreign invaders.

In 2003, 11.6 percent of Britons had pre-diabetes. By 2011, that figure had more than tripled, reaching 35.3 percent Between 2001 and 2009, incidence of type 1 diabetes among American children under the age of 19 rose by 21 percent. Incidence of type 2 diabetes among children aged 10-19 rose by 30 percent Type 2 diabetes is a disease rooted in insulin resistance and perhaps more importantly, a malfunction of leptin signaling, caused by chronically elevated insulin and leptin levels One of the driving forces behind type 2 diabetes is excessive dietary fructose, which has adverse effects on insulin and leptin, so it’s important to address the fructose and other sugars in your diet that come in many forms A growing body of research suggests there’s a powerful connection between your diet and your risk of both Alzheimer's disease and glaucoma, via similar pathways that cause type 2 diabetes By Dr. Mercola Great Britain, like the United States, has seen a remarkably rapid rise in pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes over the last decade.

Watch on 0:00 0:00 0:00 / 2:19 Live • Story at-a-glance - In the US, about 80 million, or one in four, has some form of diabetes or pre-diabetes Even worse, more than one-third of British adults are now pre-diabetic. In 2003, 11.6 percent of Britons had pre-diabetes. By 2011, that figure had more than tripled, reaching 35.3 percent Between 2001 and 2009, incidence of type 1 diabetes among American children under the age of 19 rose by 21 percent. Incidence of type 2 diabetes among children aged 10-19 rose by 30 percent Type 2 diabetes is a disease rooted in insulin resistance and perhaps more importantly, a malfunction of leptin signaling, caused by chronically elevated insulin and leptin levels One of the driving forces behind type 2 diabetes is excessive dietary fructose, which has adverse effects on insulin and leptin, so it’s important to address the fructose and other sugars in your diet that come in many forms A growing body of research suggests there’s a powerful connection between your diet and your risk of both Alzheimer's disease and glaucoma, via similar pathways that cause type 2 diabetes By Dr. Mercola Great Britain, like the United States, has seen a remarkably rapid rise in pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes over the last decade. According to a recent BBC News 1 report, more than one-third of British adults are now pre-diabetic. In 2003, 11.6 percent of Britons had pre-diabetes. By 2011, that figure had more than tripled, reaching 35.3 percent. Researchers warn that this will lead to a massive avalanche of type 2 diabetics in upcoming years, which will have serious consequences for health care and life expectancy. In the United States, nearly 80 million people, or one in four has some form of diabetes or pre-diabetes.

The most recent data, 2, 3 reveals that, between 2001 and 2009, incidence of type 1 diabetes among children under the age of 19 rose by 21 percent. Incidence of type 2 diabetes among children aged 10-19 rose by 30 percent during that same timeframe! Conventional Medicine Has It All Wrong... Statistics such as these point to two very important facts. First, it tells us that diabetes cannot be primarily caused by genetics, and secondly, it literally screams that something we're doing, consistently and en masse, is horribly wrong, and we need to address it.

Title: Why Most Americans Don't Own a Bidet in Their Toilet Headings: Why Most Americans Don't Own a Bidet Why Most Americans Don't Own a Bidet Story at-a-glance - By Dr. Mercola Why Bidets Aren't Popular in America Are Bidets Becoming More Popular? Do You Know How Much Toilet Paper Americans Are Wasting? Are You Missing Out on the 'Luxury' of a Bidet? Content: Why Most Americans Don't Own a Bidet in Their Toilet Loading Please Wait Why Most Americans Don't Own a Bidet New Film “Second Opinion” Exposes the Truth About a 40-Year Long Cover-Up of Laetrile Cancer Treatment How Sun Exposure Improves Your Health and How Glyphosate Disrupts It Story at-a-glance - Bidets are common in certain parts of Europe, South America, the Middle East, and Japan, but haven’t caught on in America The first bidets involved using your hand to cleanse your genitals directly; Americans have, traditionally, been conservative in this area and probably preferred the “shield” of toilet paper between one’s genitals and hands During World War II, US soldiers likely saw bidets in French brothels (and probably nowhere else), which spread the idea that they were “dirty” or “immoral” According to Kohler, which is the largest manufacturer of bidets in the US, bidets are becoming more popular in America, especially among the elderly and in high-end “luxury” bathroom Bidets provide superior hygiene, are gentler on your skin and are better for the environment than toilet paper; with a bidet seat, you can even install one right on your existing toilet By Dr. Mercola If you live in the US, there's a good chance your bathroom does not contain a bidet. Yet, if you travel to certain parts of Europe, South America, the Middle East, or Japan, bidets are commonplace – and they wouldn't have it any other way. For those who aren't familiar with how they work, a bidet looks similar to a toilet but it is designed to help you freshen up after toilet use. Most modern bidets have one or more jets that spray water, allowing you to straddle the device for a cleansing far superior to toilet paper. In fact, the word "bidet" comes from the French stout pony by the same name. It got its name because sitting astride a bidet is very similar to the position you would take if riding the small horse. Today, there are even better and easier to use bidet seats (which you can put atop a regular toilet) and bidet toilets, which are like a toilet and a bidet in one (a wand under the seat sprays water). Bidet seats are far less expensive to purchase and install and although some high-end ones retail for $1500, many can easily be found for well under $100 (with no need for a plumber).

Title: Arsenic Levels Are Very High in Top-Selling Wines Headings: "Very High Levels of Arsenic" in Top-Selling Wines "Very High Levels of Arsenic" in Top-Selling Wines Story at-a-glance - By Dr. Mercola Concerning Levels of Arsenic Detected in Popular Wines What Are the Health Risks of Inorganic Arsenic? Food Is the Largest Source of Arsenic Exposure for Most People Is US Rice Riskiest of All? Arsenic Has Also Been Detected in Apple Juice Beer and Drinking Water May Also Contain Arsenic Arsenic Has Even Been Fed to Chickens How to Protect Yourself and Your Family from Arsenic Exposure Content: Arsenic occurs naturally in the earth and is released into rocks, soil, water, and air. It also gets into soil as a result of industrial pollution and arsenic-based pesticides that have been applied to soil. There are two primary types, inorganic, which is found in contaminated water and also released through industry and in building products (such as pressure-treated wood) and organic. Inorganic arsenic is far more dangerous than the organic variety. It is a powerful carcinogen that has been linked to an increased risk of several types of cancer, including bladder, kidney, lung, and skin. According to the EPA: 8 "Chronic inorganic arsenic exposure is known to be associated with adverse health effects on several systems of the body, but is most known for causing specific types of skin lesions (sores, hyperpigmentation, and other lesions) and increased risks of cancer of the lungs and skin." Other impacts of chronic arsenic exposure include, according to the EPA: Kidney damage and failure Anemia Low blood pressure Shock Headaches Weakness Delirium Increased risk of diabetes Adverse liver and respiratory effects, including irritation of mucous membranes During development, increased incidence of preterm delivery, miscarriage, stillbirths, low birth weight, and infant mortality During childhood, decreased performance in tests of intelligence and long-term memory Skin lesions Advertisement Food Is the Largest Source of Arsenic Exposure for Most People Unless you work in an industry that uses arsenic (such as a smelting plant), your largest source of exposure to arsenic is probably going to be your food. Although most arsenic in food is the less toxic organic form, inorganic arsenic does occur naturally in some foods.

According to the American Cancer Society: 9 “The highest levels of arsenic (in all forms) in foods can be found in seafood, rice, rice cereal (and other rice products), mushrooms, and poultry, although many other foods can contain low levels of arsenic. Rice is of particular concern because it is a major part of the diet in many parts of the world. It is also a major component of many of the cereals eaten by infants and young children. ( Nearly all rice products have been found to contain at least some arsenic, although the levels can vary widely.)”

The largest analysis of health trends around the world from 1990 to 2013 revealed a striking rise in diabetes. 2 The data spanned 188 countries and revealed a 45 percent increase in diabetes prevalence from 1990 to 2013. In the US, the rise was even more striking – 71 percent. The majority of the rise was due to type 2 diabetes, which is closely related to obesity, another condition that's been on the rise globally. Diabetes, once ranked as the number 10 cause of disability worldwide, is now number seven… Diabetes is linked to many complications, from heart disease and kidney damage to eye problems and hearing impairments. Most all of its complications are due to underlying insulin resistance, which is a foundational cause in many cases of chronic disease.

Story at-a-glance - By Dr. Mercola Analyze Your Stool Online Using StoolAnalyzer The Bristol Stool Chart Signs of Healthy Versus Unhealthy Stool How Often Should You Poop? You're Probably Missing Out on These Two Pooping Principles Tips to Optimize Your Bowel Movements Content: This changes the spatial relationships of your intestinal organs and musculature, optimizing the forces involved in defecation. Squatting straightens your rectum, relaxes your puborectalis muscle and allows for complete emptying of your cecum and appendix without straining, which prevents fecal stagnation and the accumulation of toxins in your intestinal tract. Non-westernized societies, in which people squat, do not have the high prevalence of bowel disease seen in developed nations; in some cultures with traditional lifestyles, these diseases are uncommon or almost unknown. Special toilets and stools that get your body into a more "squatty" position can help you get closer to the ideal even if you've been sitting for decades. What's the other pooping principle you may be missing out on? A bidet! Bidets provide superior hygiene, are gentler on your skin and are better for the environment than toilet paper; with a bidet seat, you can even install one right on your existing toilet. Bidets are common in certain parts of Europe, South America, the Middle East and Japan;

Title: PAINTING DANGER: AN OVEREXPOSURE TO TOXIC FUMES - Orlando Sentinel Headings: PAINTING DANGER: AN OVEREXPOSURE TO TOXIC FUMES PAINTING DANGER: AN OVEREXPOSURE TO TOXIC FUMES Content: PAINTING DANGER: AN OVEREXPOSURE TO TOXIC FUMES - Orlando Sentinel PAINTING DANGER: AN OVEREXPOSURE TO TOXIC FUMES When you give your house a new coat of paint, make sure you don't also overexpose your lungs to solvent fumes. Watery eyes, headache and nausea are common symptoms of overexposure to fumes, but more extreme reactions can include attacks that mimic asthma or chronic bronchitis or even intoxication. Three years ago, a self-employed Lake County house painter was arrested for driving while intoxicated, but was found innocent because investigation revealed he was "high" on the paint used in his job. Experts say the average do-it-yourselfer painting his house once every few years doesn't need to worry about such responses, especially if using a water-soluble paint. "The type of solvents used in a homeowner's paint would be straight- chain hydrocarbons mineral spirits -- the same type of thing as used in charcoal lighter fluid," said Tom Marek, vice president of technical services at Coronado Paint, Edgewater. However, paints with a base of isocyanate, diisocyantae or polyurethane can be respiratory sensitizers. Excessive exposure may cause coughing, shortness of breath, increased pulmonary secretions and chest pain. Such paints can also irritate the eyes, mucous membranes and skin.

The heavy and usually dark cloth of their jackets and coats was brightened with gold and silver buttons. Waistcoats were delicately embroidered and worn slightly open to show a fine linen shirt trimmed with fancy ruffles. Wigs covered the heads of most fashionable men. These hairpieces were made in dozens of styles and carefully looked after by wig specialists called perruquiers. They used a special hair and scalp ointment called pomatum to help keep the wig’s curls in place, before covering it in fashionable powder. Wigs were very expensive and men risked having them stolen right off their heads when they walked in a busy street. It was also common for thieves to cut holes i

The Imperial Japanese Armed Forces spent the first half of the twentieth century conquering vast swathes of Asia, fighting the Russians and the Americans, and menacing even Australia and New Zealand. With the country's defeat in 1945, however, Emperor Hirohito was forced to renounce his divine status, as well as all direct political power. Nonetheless, the Chrysanthemum Throne endures. So, what does the current emperor of Japan actually do ? Today, Hirohito's son, Emperor Akihito, sits on the Chrysanthemum Throne.

She has taught at the high school and university levels in the U.S. and South Korea. our editorial process Kallie Szczepanski Updated July 07, 2019 The Meiji Restoration was a political and social revolution in Japan from 1866 to 1869 that ended the power of the Tokugawa shogun and returned the Emperor to a central position in Japanese politics and culture. It is named for Mutsuhito, the Meiji Emperor, who served as the figurehead for the movement. Background to the Meiji Restoration When Commodore Matthew Perry of the U.S. steamed into Edo Bay (Tokyo Bay) in 1853 and demanded that Tokugawa Japan allow foreign powers access to trade, he unwittingly started a chain of events that led to Japan's rise as a modern imperial power. Japan's political elites realized that the U.S. and other countries were ahead in terms of military technology, and (quite rightly) felt threatened by western imperialism. After all, mighty Qing China had been brought to its knees by Britain fourteen years earlier in the First Opium War, and would soon lose the Second Opium War as well. Rather than suffer a similar fate, some of Japan's elites sought to close the doors even tighter against foreign influence, but the more foresighted began to plan a modernization drive. They felt that it was important to have a strong Emperor at the center of Japan's political organization to project Japanese power and fend off Western imperialism.

This type of total warfare spread panic even among Europeans not directly affected by the Mongol onslaught and sent refugees fleeing westward. Perhaps even more importantly, the Mongol conquest of central Asia and eastern Europe allowed a deadly disease—the bubonic plague—to travel from its home range in western China and Mongolia to Europe along newly-restored trade routes. The bubonic plague was endemic to fleas that live on marmots in the steppes of eastern central Asia, and the Mongol hordes inadvertently brought those fleas across the continent, unleashing the plague on Europe. Between 1300 and 1400, the Black Death killed between 25 and 66% of the population in Europe, at least 50 million people. The plague also affected northern African and large parts of Asia. 2  3  Positive Effects of the Mongols Although the Mongol invasion of Europe sparked terror and disease, in the long run, it had enormous positive impacts. The foremost was what historians call the Pax Mongolica, a century of peace (circa 1280–1360) among neighboring peoples who were all under Mongol rule. This peace allowed for the reopening of the Silk Road trading routes between China and Europe, increasing cultural exchange and wealth all along the trade paths. Central Asia was a region that had always been important to overland trade between China and the West.

Long-distance trade, human migration, and imperial expansion actively engaged people in different societies in significant cross-cultural interactions. Afterward, interactions between the two were not only possible but encouraged. Diplomatic contacts and religious missions were established over vast distances. Islamic merchants helped gain a footing for their faith at the extreme ends of the Eastern Hemisphere, spreading from southeast Asia and west Africa and across northern India and Anatolia.

The homemade pregnancy test is carried out with the urine sample. It is recommended that you have to take the first urine to get the accurate results. Since the first urine (after you wake up in the morning) is more concentrated. This undiluted urine gives you accurate results than the urine taken at later times. How the Homemade Pregnancy Test Works? All pregnancy tests detect the presence of a hormone named human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in women’s urine. The presence of hCG in your body is the sure sign of pregnancy. The human chorionic gonadotropin hormones are produced in your body when they begin to form the placenta. The placenta is an organ which connects the growing fetus to the uterine wall to allow nutrient intake.

Title: Dry Aging Beef Info. Optimal Conditions of Cooler Aging for Beef. Headings: Almost EVERYTHING You Need To Know About Dry Aged Beef! What is the Difference Between Dry Aged and Wet Aged Beef? Dry Aging Beef to Increase Its' Tenderness Is It Possible to Dry Age Beef At Home Definition of Dry Aged Beef: Forty years ago, most of our beef was dry aged. In the early 1960's the process of vacuum packing beef became the norm for most processors. The advantage of this process was that they could "wet age" the beef in the bag and not lose any of the weight of the beef. Wet aging was much more cost effective for the processors so a weaning of the consumers' taste buds began to occur. Slowly, the consumer forgot what the real taste of steak was. Beef is aged for 7 to 21 days. During this process a crust forms on the outside of the loin, very similar to the texture of beef jerky. This layer is trimmed away, leaving steaks that are superior in tenderness and flavor. During the dry aging process, the juices are absorbed into the meat, enhancing the flavor and tenderizing the steaks. Research from major universities, including Kansas State University, indicates the enhancement of flavor and tenderness occurs in this Dry Aging process. Dry Aged Steaks are very popular in the fine, white linen steakhouses on the coasts. The dry aging process takes special care and requires a relatively large inventory. It is very time consuming and expensive, requiring extra effort, storage and high-quality beef. Up to 20% of the original weight of the loin is lost during the dry aging process.

The meat, because it has been sitting in its own juices, has been described as wet and bloody-tasting. Whether you believe those who say that dry-aged beef is a romantic fantasy, or those who say wet-aged beef is a ruse, everyone agrees some type of aging makes for a better steak. Back To Top of Page More Information About Dry Aged Beef! To learn more about the cuts of Beef, Visit our Beef Charts Page And Notebook Size Meat Charts Page. Aging beef is a procedure used to naturally tenderize beef. The process includes storing vacuum packed beef for 5-28 days at a constant temperature of 0-4 degrees centigrade. This allows the natural enzymes in the muscle to slowly break down the fibers. The taste of aged beef also improves. Once beef has been properly aged, it can be either cooked or frozen.

Eclipses happen four to six times a year, activating the unexpected and forcing us to take swift action. Ready or not, it’s time for change—and a clear decision. Solar eclipses: Time to start fresh Lunar eclipses: Let it go, let it flow Why our ancestors feared eclipses Rituals for the eclipses: Renew and release Eclipses and the Lunar Nodes of Astrology Content: However, most astrologers suggest waiting a week or so before taking drastic action, allowing the eclipse energy to settle first. Solar eclipses: Time to start fresh Solar eclipses occur at new moons. During a solar eclipse, the moon is directly between the Earth and Sun (known as a conjunction, or meetup, of the Sun and the moon). During this brief time, the moon can block out the Sun’s light, temporarily disconnecting us from our sense of reality. In astrology, a solar eclipse could bring a bold beginning, setting us on a new path that we hadn’t imagined for ourselves. While it may be surprising—or not something you even expected—a solar eclipse has a bigger vision in store for us. We have a finite focus as human beings, and it’s natural to concentrate on what’s in front of us. At times, this can limit our perspectives, and cause us to miss out on opportunities. Solar eclipses might snatch away the familiar temporarily, forcing us to consider options we would never otherwise explore.

Still, this gives us the opportunity to embrace our wholeness, and see where we have room to grow in new directions. Owning the fact that we have emotions (like fear, anger, jealousy and rage) is the first step to getting a handle on them. Trying to pretend we’re perfect or stuffing down our feelings? That’s when our unexamined issues creep up and overwhelm us. If we’re willing to suspend judgment and accept the good along with the bad, lunar eclipses can be potent moments of self-discovery. Why our ancestors feared eclipses Eclipses throughout history have gotten a bad rap. They were both revered and feared.

The cross-cultural studies, which find universal features of gender, support the biological view (Sammons, n.d.). Of the cultures studied, females are found to be less aggressive than males, suggesting as innate, biological difference (Sammons, n.d.). Sammons (n.d.), “ similarly, Buss et al (1990) studied what women and men look for in a potential mate in a large number of cultures and found that whilst men consistently prioritized youth and physical attractiveness, women placed a higher premium on wealth and status” (para. 9). The differences seen may reflect the biological differences between males and female, which arise because of the evolutionary processes. However, it is important not to ignore the considerable gender behavioral differences between some cultures (Sammons, n.d.). Cultures do indeed behave differently, which supports the role of learning.

What people are saying Content: Do Police Ever Get Indicted When They Kill People? featured National News Race Do Police Ever Get Indicted When They Kill People? Posted by By Christina Montford | November 26, 2014 Comments Comments (0) In the wake of the Michael Brown verdict, millions of people across the country no doubt are haunted by feelings of anger, disappointment and, above all, confusion. And it begs the question, “How often are policemen actually indicted for the homicides that they commit?” The answer? Almost never. The law only keeps records of what they call “justifiable” homicides, a killing that is somehow permitted due to evidence, no matter how flawed or faulty. Even as America’s national homicide rate continues to fall, the rate of “justifiable” homicides continues to rise. Last year, the FBI recorded 461 committed by law enforcement, which is the highest recorded number in two decades, according to thenation.com. Homicides committed by on-duty law enforcement made up 3 percent of the 14,196 homicides committed in the United States in 2013.

Homicides committed by on-duty law enforcement made up 3 percent of the 14,196 homicides committed in the United States in 2013. An average of about 96 police homicides a year involve a white officer killing a Black person, according to a study done by USA Today. Before that, a report called “Operation Ghetto Storm” gathered information detailing that of the 739 “justified” shootings from 2007-2012, “313 of them were Black, 44 percent (136), were unarmed, 27 percent of them (83) were claimed by law enforcement to have a gun at the time of the shooting, but that could not be later confirmed or the ‘gun’ was in fact, a toy or other non-lethal object.” In recent years, a group called the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement released a report in 2013 revealing that police officers, security guards or self-appointed vigilantes killed at least 313 African-Americans in 2012, a rate of one every 28 hours. Because the FBI’s police homicide stats are collected from voluntary information given by police departments all over the country, it is only fair to be a bit wary of how many of the homicide are actually being reported. One of the few recorded cases ABS could find of a police officer actually being charged for the killing of a Black man is that of Justin Craven and Ernest Satterwhite.

The 68-year-old Black great-grandfather was shot on February 9 of this year when he parked in his driveway after a slow-speed chase by a 25-year-old white police officer in North Augusta, South Carolina, who repeatedly fired through the driver’s side door, according to AP. The prosecution sought to charge Satterwhite with voluntary manslaughter, punishable by up to 30 years in prison. But the grand jury disagreed, indicting him on a misdemeanor, citing his use of excessive force and failure “to follow and use proper procedures.” A study on actual police indictments was done back in 1979, according to talkingpointsmemo.com, and only found three convictions out of the 1,500 police killings it studied over a five-year period. And none of those were killings of Black men.

Most Australian Universities offer on-campus and distance education learning to students. Courses available include Medicine, Information Technology, Business, Media and Arts. Students must pay fees to attend University. Fees vary according to the area of study. The federal government offers a loan scheme to students to help pay for their University education.

Where does Family Support Policy come from? What is the Desired Outcome of Family Support? Who is Available to Support Families? Examples of Family Support Programs/Initiatives What Does Family Support Value in Practice? Examples of How Family Support is Used Who to Contact Regarding Family Support Content: In the not so distant past, families were encouraged to send their children with disabilities to institutional residential care where they could have all their basic needs taken care of. As families began to question the role of these residential institutions, many of them began to realize that, in order to be able to function, they would need some additional support. Family support policy accelerated in the 1970s with the movement to deinstitutionalize individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and calls from parents to provide support to help individuals live at home. The basic premise behind family support policy is twofold: It is better for the person with a disability, who remains at home in a natural and supportive environment and, later, It was more cost effective to support families where they lived rather than to rely on inefficient, large scale and complex congregate settings. In other words, for family support advocates, family support is the right thing to provide for families, and it is more cost effective than non-family residential arrangements. What is the Desired Outcome of Family Support? Ultimately, family support is designed to reunite, preserve, strengthen, and maintain families in their home communities, while making sure that the family members with disabilities have ample opportunities to exercise choice and self determination. Who is Available to Support Families? Family support is provided by a number of different organizations that are usually supported at the federal level but are increasingly implemented at the state and local level.

Family support is provided by a number of different organizations that are usually supported at the federal level but are increasingly implemented at the state and local level. In the developmental disability world, family support was defined with policy recommendations in the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act (the DD Act). However, family support policy from the DD Act is implemented at the state level. At the state level, state developmental disability agencies may provide funding and other services to support families of school age children. Support to families of people with autism spectrum disorders is not limited to DD-specific support, however. For example, family support may also be provided by state health and human service agencies, which include early intervention services and other parent support.

Examples of How Family Support is Used Who to Contact Regarding Family Support Content: According to the Family Resource Coalition, family support best practice acknowledges that: Staff and families work together in relationships based on equality and respect. Staff enhance families’ capacity to support the growth and development of all family members – adults, youth, and children. Families are resources to their own members, to other families, to programs, and to communities. Programs affirm and strengthen families’ cultural, racial, and linguistic identities and enhance their ability to function in a multicultural society. Programs advocate with families for services and systems that are fair, responsive, and accountable to the families served. Practitioners work with families to mobilize formal and informal resources to support family development. Programs are flexible and continually responsive to emerging family and community issues. Principles of family support are modeled in all program activities, including planning, governance, and administration. Generally speaking, organizations offering family support programs stick to the principles that the family is the most important population they serve.

In order to keep the Edsel running, that vertical grille had to be enormous, which made the entire car look silly in the eyes of critics and consumers. Ugly, overpriced, overhyped, poorly made and poorly timed, the Edsel was made for only two years.

Title: Crusades Headings: Crusades Crusades I. Introduction Contributed By: Content: Crusades Crusades I. Introduction Crusades, series of wars by Western European Christians to recapture the Holy Land from the Muslims ( see Palestine ). The Crusades began in 1095 and ended in the mid- or late 13th century. The term Crusade was originally applied solely to European efforts to retake from the Muslims the city of Jerusalem, which was sacred to Christians as the site of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It was later used to designate any military effort by Europeans against non-Christians. The Crusaders carved out feudal states in the Near East. Thus the Crusades are an important early part of the story of European expansion and colonialism. They mark the first time Western Christendom undertook a military initiative far from home, the first time significant numbers left to carry their culture and religion abroad. In addition to the campaigns in the East, the Crusading movement includes other wars against Muslims, pagans, and dissident Christians and the general expansion of Christian Europe. In a broad sense the Crusades were an expression of militant Christianity and European expansion. They combined religious interests with secular and military enterprises.

In some newspaper markets, dealers scrambled to renegotiate newspaper advertising contracts involving the 1960 Edsel models, while others dropped the name from their dealership's advertising "slugs". Ford issued a statement that it would distribute coupons to consumers that purchased 1960 models (and carry over 1959 models) prior to the announcement valued at $300 to $400 towards the purchase of new Ford products to offset the decreased values. The company also issued credits to dealers for stock unsold, or received, following the announcement. Edsel and its failures There is no single reason why the Edsel failed, and failed so spectacularly. Popular culture often faults the car’s styling. Consumer Reports cited poor workmanship. Marketing experts hold the Edsel up as a supreme example of Corporate America’s failure to understand the nature of the American consumer. Business analysts cite the weak internal support for the product inside Ford’s Executive offices. According to author and Edsel scholar Jan Deutsch, the Edsel was "the wrong car at the wrong time."

When the Edsel was in its planning stages in the early and mid 1950s, the American economy was robust and growing. However in the years that spanned the planning to its introduction an economic recession hit, and American consumers not only shifted their idea of what an ideal car should be; in prior economic downturns, buyers flocked to the lower price marques like Plymouth, Chevrolet and Ford. But in 1958 even these cars were perceived by some as unnecessarily large and while the compact Rambler saw itself shoot to the third best selling make, none of the Big Three had anything compact to sell except their European cars built for Vauxhall, Simca, and Opel. The compacts introduced by the Big-Three in 1960 were the direct result of the Recession of 1958. Compounding Edsel's problems was that the car had to appeal to buyers of other well established nameplates from the Big Three such as Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Dodge, DeSoto and even its internal sister division Mercury, itself never a stellar sales success. Even if the 1958 recession hadn't hit when it did, t

Title: Section 2: Part 1 Headings: Content: Male gametes are sperm, and female gametes are eggs. In the plant life cycle, meiosis produces haploid spores. The spores develop into the gametophyte phase of the plant life cycle. The term gametophyte literally means “gamete-producing plant.“ The size of individual gametophytes ranges from three cells in angiosperm pollen to several million in a nonvascular plant such as moss. The gametophyte undergoes mitosis to produce gametes. During fertilization, gametes fuse together to produce the diploid sporophyte (spore-producing) phase. Within the plant kingdom, the dominance of phases varies. Nonvascular plants, which include the mosses and liverworts, have the dominant gametophyte phase. Vascular plants show a progression of increasing sporophyte dominance from the ferns and fern allies to angiosperms.

The report by WalletHub says the average starting salary for teachers, listed as $31,874 for 2012-13 school year by the National Education Association, is the 44th lowest of the 50 states plus the District of Columbia. And that ranking comes even after accounting for the lower cost of living here than many other places. It’s also not great for those who stay in the profession, the study says, with median salaries for all Arizona teachers at No. 48, also measured against the cost of living. The pupil-to-teacher ratio, listed at 21.3 according to the National Center for Education Statistics, is worse than anywhere but Utah and California. And it compared with a national average of 16.7. And WalletHub cites NEA figures showing that Arizona spends only about $1,250 per state resident on education.

The personal finance website figures that Arizona will have among the higher percentages of school-age population of all the states by 2030. More children equals more demand for teachers. Jill Gonzalez, a WalletHub staffer, said there’s a reason these statistics matter.

Gonzalez said this is the difference between salaries at the 90th percentile level — near the top — and those at the 10th percentile level. That measures whether there’s room for wage improvement. Arizona is No. 38 nationwide. The report comes as questions of school funding have taken center stage in courtrooms and the gubernatorial race. Key is the ruling by the Arizona Supreme Court that during the recession state lawmakers ignored a 2000 voter-approved mandate to adjust aid to schools each year for inflation. The exact amount missed is still being litigated. But Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Katherine Cooper said just resetting basic state aid to what it should have been had legislators complied with the law all along totals $317 million. If and when the state comes up with that cash, that will make another $279 per pupil available, on top of the approximately $7,550 a year per student from all sources.

While that would be a one-time infusion, it translates out to close to an additional $1,150 per student. Both Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Fred DuVal and Republican Doug Ducey say they want to put more money in the classroom though they differ on how to do that.

Major organs, including the kidneys and liver, have begun to develop, and the neural tube, which connects the brain and spinal cord closes. The brain develops into five areas and some cranial nerves are visible. The arm and leg buds are visible. The physical sensations of pregnancy start -- nausea, fatigue, sore breasts and frequent urination. 7 weeks - The embryo's hands and feet are shaped like paddles, but the fingers are beginning to take shape. The embryonic tail has now almost disappeared. The pituitary gland is also forming and the fetus is beginning to grow muscle fibers. The heart has divided into the right and left chambers and is beating about 150 beats a minute which is about twice the rate of an adult.

The blockage is accomplished by refusing to allow importers to exchange their national currency for the seller’s currency. Differential exchange rate: The differential exchange rate is a particularly ingenious method of controlling imports. It encourages the importance of goods the government deems desirable and discourages the importation of goods the government does not want. The essential mechanism requires the importer to pay the varying amount of domestic currency for foreign currency with which to purchase products in different categories. Such as desirable and less desirable products. Government approval for securing foreign exchange: Countries experiencing severe shortages of foreign exchange often use it. At one time or another, most Latin American and East European countries have required all foreign exchange transactions to be approved by the central bank.

Many compare the taste of steak aged eight weeks or longer to blue cheese. For some, these steaks are the height of luxury, but for others, the intensity and sharpness of flavor is off-putting. Different vendors age their steaks for different lengths of time. Some butchers will dry-age for as low as 7 to 14 days, which produces no significant change in flavor. Others specialize in aging for up to (or over!) 100 days, producing a steak more funky and intense than a James Brown album. That’s why it’s important you always ask how long a particular piece of beef has been dry-aged for. At Chicago Steak Company, all of our steaks are aged in the four-to-six-week sweet spot, which is the typical range used by high-end steakhouses. Once a rack of beef has finished aging, its exterior needs to be trimmed.

That’s why it’s important you always ask how long a particular piece of beef has been dry-aged for. At Chicago Steak Company, all of our steaks are aged in the four-to-six-week sweet spot, which is the typical range used by high-end steakhouses. Once a rack of beef has finished aging, its exterior needs to be trimmed. Dry-aging spoils the surface of beef, and can sometimes cause (non-toxic) mold to develop on the surface. This is why butchers never dry-age individual steaks. Instead, they dry-age large, primal cuts, usually with as much fat still on the steak as possible. This way, they lose far less product to trimming. After all spoiled meat and exterior fat has been trimmed, cuts are broken down into individual steaks for sale or consumption.
