In this group there are lineages:â¢ Amborellaceae: includes just one shrub that, according to the National Geographic (July 2002) âmay be the closest living relative to the first flowering plantâ.â¢ Nymphaeaceae which includes the water lilies.â¢ Illiciaceae which includes the star anises.â¢ Magnoliids, which of course includes Magnolias, avocado and black pepper,â¢ Monocots which with 65,000 species (1/4 of all flowering plants), are recognizable because they have just one seed leaf (single cotyledon). This group includes all grasses (corn, rice, wheat,...), palm trees (which are giant herbs) and flowers such as lilies and orchids. Orchids by themselves account for nearly 25,000 species.â¢ And, finally, Eudicots (formerly dicots because of their two seed leaves), the largest group of angiosperms with 170,000 species, many of which are woody plants.Most of this information is from the above mentioned National Geographic issue.1.2 What is an orchid?What distinguishes orchids from other flowering plants is the combination of three elements:â¢ their pollen (called âpollinariumâ, plural = pollina) which is formed into a mass (usually 2 masses),â¢ stamens and pistils are joined together in a structure called a âcolumnâ,â¢ their seeds are very small (there may be up to 3 million in a seed capsule), they do not contain endosperm and have no organized embryo.1.3 Structure of orchid flowersOrchid flowers consist of:â¢ the pedicel (the stem of the flower which includes the ovary),â¢ the sepals,â¢ the petals,â¢ the column.Sepals and petals are in threes.The three sepals consist of the dorsal sepal and two lateral sepals.The three petals consist of two petals and a modified one called the labellum, or more commonly, the lip.1.4 How orchids grow in natureBesides these morphological differences most orchids differ from other plants by the way they grow in nature.Most orchids are epiphytes, that is they grow attached on other plants (usually trees). They are not parasites, that is they do not take anything away from the plant they grow on, they merely use the other plant (tree) for support.Some orchids are lithophytes, that is they grow on rocks.Some other some are semiterrestrial, that is they grow on the ground, on decomposing plant material (not quite soil).And finally, a small number of orchids are true terrestrial, meaning they grow in soil like most plants.1.5 - A bit of orchid historyConfucius, the Chinese philosopher, grew orchids in the fifth century BC and wrote a poem about them.Theophrastus, a Greek philosopher and scientist, mentions orchids in his âEssay on Plantsâ published around 300 BCDioscorides, a Greek botanist, physician and pharmacologist mentioned orchids in his work âDe Materia Medicaâ ( âOf Medical Matersâ) published around 60 AD This work remained a reference manual till the Middle Age (1,400 - 1,500 AD).Orchids, in those times, were believed to have medicinal properties, one of them being an aphrodisiac.And about 2,000 years ago Greeks gave orchids the name âorkhisâ which means testicle, because of the form of their pseudobulbs (pseudo = Greek for âfalseâ).In more recent times, the first record of orchids in cultivation dates back to 1731 in England. Philip Miller mentioned several orchids in his second edition of âDictionary of Gardeningâ (1768).Records of the Kew Royal Botanical Gardens show that Epidendrum cochleatum flowered for the first time in cultivation in 1787. Ten years later 15 orchid species were cultivated at Kew.Cultivation of orchids started in earnest in the 19th century. At that time orchids were brought to Europe by companies or individuals who financed collecting expeditions. They commissioned professional collectors who traveled for months all over the world in search of showy new species. Like treasure hunters these expensive enterprises were often shrouded in secrecy and it was not unusual for them to spread misleading information about the locations where new orchids were found.New exotic orchids were most often sold at Protheros & Morris & Stevens Sales Rooms in London, fetching extravagant prices.At that time very little was known about the cultivation of orchids and their survival rate was dismal.Through experimentation and by gathering more information on the growing conditions of orchids in their natural habitat, knowledge was slowly being developed and by 1851 B. S. Williams published the first edition of âThe Orchid Growerâs Manualâ.By the end of the 19th century there was enough experience and knowledge about the growing conditions of orchids that many orchids survived and bloomed in Englandâs greenhouses.Today there is a wealth of knowledge about growing orchids and modern propagation methods have driven prices to affordable levels. Affordable prices, the fascination exercised by their captivating beauty and their diversity has made them increasingly popular houseplants.1.6 Taxonomy / nomenclatureThe International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (I.C.B.N.) and the International Code of Nomenclature of Cultivated Plants (I.C.N.C.P.) govern the naming of orchids.The I.C.B.N. has standardized classification of plants and imposed the following endings:â¢ family â¢ tribe â¢ subtribe: aceae.: eae.: inae. Example: Orchidaceae Example: Vandeae. Example:  Sarcanthinae.Below the subtribe are the genera (singular = genus). Examples: Cattleya, Dendrobium, Phalaenopsis, ...Note: all of the above have their first letter capitalized.Within the genera are the names identifying individual plants. Example: Phalaenopsis a mabilis or Phalaenopsis E ver S pring.Names of species are not capitalized: Phalaenopsis amabilis designates a species,i.e. a naturally occurring plant. Names of hybrids (man made crosses) are always capitalized as in Phalaenopsis Ever Spring.Finally, within a group of individual plants they may be variations which, for example, may be noted Phalaenopsis amabilis var. formosana.Variety is often abbreviated as âvar.â and is usually reserved for species. For hybrids, varieties will be identified by adding to the name one or several words placed in single quotes as in Phalaenopsis Ever Spring âLightâ.All new plants (species and hybrids) are registered with the Royal Horticultural Society of London.The name of orchids is decided by the discover for new species or by the first person who registers a new hybrid.Until a new hybrid is registered it will be identified by the name of itâs parents, separated by an X. For example: Phalaenopsis amabilis x Phalaenopsis violacea or Phalaenopsis (amabilis x violacea) or Phalaenopsis amabilis x violacea or, in abbreviated form, Phal. amabilis x violacea.1.7 Propagation of orchidsThere are several ways to propagate orchids.Propagation from seed or sexual propagationPollen is used to pollinate a flower. When the seed pod matures (which may take several months), the tiny seeds can be sowed.Not all seed pods will contain seeds as one or the other parent may be sterile.The encapsulated seeds are in a sterile environment as long as the seed pod is closed. It will eventually crack open at a certain time, in which case the tiny seeds will have to be decontaminated before sowing them.Most people prefer to work with a âgreen podâ. That is a seed pod that has matured but is collected before it starts to open.The seed pot is externally disinfected to kill any germs, spores, contaminants, ... that may be on itâs surface then it is cut open with a disinfected tool (scalpel,...).Then the seed masses are sown into a flask which contains a nutrient solution (the flask and its contents were previously sterilized in an autoclave). This flask is called a âmother flaskâ.This whole operation has to be performed in a sterile environment. Commercial growers will use an apparatus called a laminar flow hood (see page 36 of An Introduction to Orchids South Florida Orchid SocietyThe nutrients solutions contain minerals, sugars, charcoal, sometimes banana extracts or coconut milk, ... Agar (a substance like gelatin) is added to make the solution more or less solid.The flask is sealed, marked / labeled and placed in a growth chamber / room where light is relatively limited and temperatures are relatively constant.After several weeks to several months the tiny seeds will germinate. When they have they will have to be transferred to several other flasks in an operation called âreplatingâ. This is necessary because the mother flask may contain from several hundred to several thousand seeds which now need room to grow.The replated flask may still contain a hundred to several hundred plantlets, which is way too many plants for the limited space of the flask.Again after several months the plantlets will be replated and they may need a third replate (some growers replate 4 times !) until they are in their final flask which may contain from 10 to 40 plantlets.As for the mother flasks, all the replate flasks contain growing media which is different from the germination media. The new replating flasks with their nutrients where sterilized in an autoclave and the flasks to be replated where externally decontaminated. The replating operations are done in the sterile environment of a laminar flow hood.Plants resulting from sexual propagation may look like the mother plant or like the father or a combination of both or they may have characteristics of ancestors. In other words they may display very diverse traits.Among these siblings one or several may be significantly more appealing or different than the others. Whoever possess this plant may recognize its uniqueness by adding a variety name to its name. The variety name is placed in single quotes as in Phal. Ever Spring âLightâ or Phal. Ever Spring âCardinalâ or whatever the owner fancies to name the variety. Only that plant and itâs tissue or stem propagated progeny are entitled to bear the variety name.Tissue cultureAs its name suggest tissue culture is done by using plant tissue, mostly the minuscule center of a new growth. A lot of experiments have been made trying to do tissue culture out of leafs, roots,... but so far the most successful method uses tissue from a new growth.The tissue is excised (cut), its outer layers are removed till the active center of developing cells, the meristem, is reached. Then this tiny mass of cells (it can be less than 1 millimeter in diameter) is cut into 20 or so parts, immersed into a flask with growing solution without agar, so the solution stays liquid. This media for this solution is usually called âmultiplicationâ formula.The flasks or tubes are placed on an agitator (an apparatus than either slowly rotates or tilts to the left then to the right. The constant movement of the agitator allows the lumps of cells to develop and increase in mass but prevents them from forming roots or leaves.Once the lumps have sufficiently increased in size they are further cut into small lumps, placed into flasks or tubes and on the agitator. In this process the original 20 tiny masses may now be 400. At the next subdivision we may have 8,000.This process continues until the desired number of lumps has been achieved.Then the developed lumps are replated into flasks as is done for germinated seeds. From there on the process is the same as for seeds.As in seed propagation all these operations require external disinfecting, and working in sterile conditions.Plants developed from tissue culture, are called mericlones. They usually are very close in appearance (plant and flowers) to the plant from which the original tissue was taken and they are entitled to be recognized by the same variety name as the plant from which the original tissue was excised. So when you see a plant with a name like Cattleya Irene Finney âZâ it means this plant was propagated through tissue culture, using tissue from Cattleya Irene Finney âZâ.Stem propagation.In this technique a flower stem is used for propagation. If we propagated Phalaenopsis in this manner we would be looking for a flower stem with just the first flower open or with up to half the flowers open.Flower buds nearer the base of the flower stem open first. Below them there will be a number of undeveloped buds, which we usually refer to as ânodesâ.The flower stem is removed from the plant and is externally decontaminated.The stem is cut about 1 inch above and below the node, then dipped in decontamination solution for 15 to 20 minutes.Then the protective sheath over the node is removed and about 1/8 of an inch is further removed from both ends of the stem (above and below the node).The cutting is inserted in the media solution which is in a tube or jar or flask which was previously sterilized through autoclaving.If the operation is successful we may get up to 4 plantlets per node.Obviously this technique only produces a few plants from a flower stem of the original plant. We may get 10 to 15 stem propagated plants as opposed to the thousands we may get through tissue culture.Because of the limited yield and the labor intensive procedure stem propagated plants tend to be much more expensive than plants propagated through seed or tissue culture.On the other hand, unless some abhorrent mutation occurs, these plants will be exactly like the plant they were propagated from.These plants too are entitled to be recognized by the same variety name as the original plant from which the original tissue was excised.As with seed propagation and tissue culture all these operations must be conducted in a sterile environment.Internode propagationThis technique is similar to the stem propagation but instead of using a flower stem as the start up point we use a growth. It is often used with Dendrobiums.A growth is removed from the plant and is cut in between nodes. The edges are dipped in a fungicide and then either inserted or laid on sphagnum moss kept moist.If the operation is successful we may get 1plantlet per node, but usually much less than that as many nodes will not develop a plantlet.Still the technique does not require any sophisticated equipment, is inexpensive and can be done practically by anyone.These plants too are entitled to be recognized by the same variety name as the original plant from which the growth was removed.Divisions & back bulbsSome orchids grow by developing new growth from the base of the plant. After several years they may have 5, 6, 10 or more growths. We may subdivide such plants to get two or three out of the original one.Often the older growth or old pseudobulbs of these plants do not do anything but if we remove them and plant them separately they will generate new growth.Again as for the previous methods where plants were propagated by using tissue, or the fower tem, plants resulting from divisions and backbulbs are also entitled to be recognized by the same variety name as the original plant from which the growth or back bulbs were removed. The resulting plants will be identical to the plant we divided or from which we removed the pseudobulb (s).KeikisSome orchids, mostly Dendrobiums, are notorious for producing keikis which is the Hawaiian word for âbabiesâ.Occasionally Phalaenopsis will also produce keikis. Some, usually species, do it because it is programmed into their genes, others do it when they are exposed to high temperatures while they are developing a flower stem.Keikis will develop leaves first. Eventually they will develop roots. When roots have reached about an inch in length we can remove the keiki from the mother plant and plant it in its own container.Keikis will be identical to the plant they were removed from and are also entitled to be recognized by the same variety name, if any, as the plant from which they originated.Top cutsFinally, some plants, mostly vandaceous orchids, tend to grow very tall. Heights of 4, 5, 6 feet or more are not unusual, making them difficult to handle. These also tend to develop new roots along their stem, in between leaves. These can be divided bycutting off the top portion of the plant as long as this top portion has at least 2 pairs or roots attached to it.The remaining (bottom) part of the plant will often respond to this attack by sending out new shoots from its base.Top cuts are of course the same as the plant they were removed from and are also entitled to be recognized by the same variety name, if any, as the plant from which they originated.Back to top

Meyer Lemon Tree Care â Learn About Growing Meyer Lemons
Meyer lemon growing can be grown outside in USDA Hardiness Zones 8-11. Those in more northern areas successfully grow Meyer lemons in large containers that are overwintered indoors, away from freezing temperatures. Caring for a Meyer lemon tree is simple when you follow a few basic steps.


Growing Lemons and Other Citrus Indoors
Growing Lemons and Other Citrus Indoors. Q. When it started getting cold at night, I brought my two-year-old Meyer lemon tree inside and placed it about a foot away from a full spectrum floodlight, which is on for 12 hours a day.


Growing citrus indoors in Minnesota
This idea is not so far-fetched if you consider growing selected citrus plants indoors. Although not large producers of fruit, the flowers and fruit, when they do appear, can be fragrant and attractive. Most varieties of oranges and other citrus grown commercially in warm climates are too large to be grown indoors.


Growing Lemons â How To Grow A Lemon Tree
Lemon Tree Growing Indoors. Lemons can make excellent houseplants and will be comfortable in a container as long it provides adequate drainage and room for growth. Heights of around 3 to 5 feet can be expected for a lemon tree growing indoors. They also prefer well-draining, slightly acidic soil. Keep the soil evenly moist and fertilize as needed. Lemon trees thrive within a normal temperature range of about 70 F. (21 C.) throughout the day and 55 F. (13 C.) at night.

Easy to Grow in your Kitchen or Patio. Here's Why the Meyer Lemon is the Best Selling Patio Citrus Tree: So Hardy, it Grows Indoors or Out... If you live in a colder climate, you can easily move it inside for the winter. Your tree will continue to bear fruit and brighten your home.


Grow Citrus Indoors
The best pick for homegrown citrus is a dwarf variety, a plant that is grafted onto special rootstock that prevents the tree from growing too large. Many citrus trees can be grown as dwarves, including Meyer lemon, kaffir lime, and 'Trovita' and calamondin oranges, which are amenable to indoor cultivation. Soon enough, you could be harvesting oranges for marmalade, preparing desserts with Meyer lemons, or picking kaffir lime leaves for an authentic Thai curry.


Growing Lemons and Other Citrus Indoors
They're three feet tall and are in large containers. Last year, they spent the winter in the basement under a grow lamp that was turned on for nine hours a day. I read that orange trees need about 600 hours of 50-degree temperatures over the course of a year to blossom.


Grow Citrus Indoors
But you don't need to be Louis XIV or have nearly as grand a setup to grow, display, and even harvest citrus at home. Like the plants at Versailles, your orange, lemon, or lime tree can grow in a container, thriving indoors during cold-weather months before basking outside in spring and summer.

Some training resources state that runners should take a week or so off with no running after a marathon. Instead, it is recommended to engage in cross-training activities to maintain cardio-vascular fitness while at the same time, allowing the body to rest, recover, and heal.


What Do I Do After My Half Marathon?
As a general rule of thumb for the half-marathon distance, allow 1 to 3 days completely off (passive recovery) immediately after the race. This does not mean become a couch potato, but rather that activities of daily living are enough.


Returning To Training After A Big Race
1 More casual runners should wait at least a full week. 2  After a marathon: All runners wishing to maintain a high level of fitness should do little or no running for four to seven days, followed by a week of only low-intensity running. 3  Then you can return to your normal regimen.


What Do I Do After My Half Marathon?
Use your taper plan for the half marathon in reverse to re-build your mileage over the next three weeks. The then what as you asked in your question, is the next phase of training is the maintenance phase.


What Do I Do After My Half Marathon?
You can break mileage down something like this: Tuesday: 4 to 6 miles, Thursday: 5 to 7 miles, weekend long run: 6 to 10 miles; and alternate long runs of 6, 8, and 10 miles every third weekend. This gives you a very solid base for tackling any distance.


Returning To Training After A Big Race
1 After shorter races (up to 10K): You can do your next hard run within as few as three days, if youâre a high-mileage runner. 2  Otherwise, wait about five days. 3  After a 10-miler or half-marathon: Fitter runners can go long or fast again after four or five days. 4  More casual runners should wait at least a full week.

Staying Motivated and Combating Burnout. It's not uncommon for runners to suffer post-event depression after finishing a marathon. This is due in part to achieving a goal that took much time and energy to accomplish. Days after the event, runners oftentimes feel a void in their lives.


How Does a Gas Boiler Heat Exchanger Work?
So, a condensing boiler does not have to work really hard or use too much fuel for getting the water up to the temperature that is required for heating the house. Usually a gas boiler heat exchanger is fitted around the fuel that comes from the boiler for heating up main cold water that is into it. The liquid is either used as pre-heating incoming water or is stored in a tank for a later use. Contents. 1 The Heat Exchanger Repair.


Heat exchangers
Boilers in steam locomotives work this way. Plate/fin heat exchangers have lots of thin metal plates or fins with a large surface area (because that exchanges more heat more quickly); heat exchangers in gas furnaces (gas boilers) work this way. Photo: Two types of heat exchanger.


Furnaces and Boilers
All systems: 1  Check the condition of your vent connection pipe and chimney. Parts of the venting system may have deteriorated over time. 2  Check the physical integrity of the heat exchanger. Leaky boiler heat exchangers leak water and are easy to spot.


Heat exchangers
A heat exchanger is a device that allows heat from a fluid (a liquid or a gas) to pass to a second fluid (another liquid or gas) without the two fluids having to mix together or come into direct contact. If that's not completely clear, consider this.


Furnaces and Boilers
Furnaces heat air and distribute the heated air through the house using ducts. Boilers heat water, and provide either hot water or steam for heating. Steam is distributed via pipes to steam radiators, and hot water can be distributed via baseboard radiators or radiant floor systems, or can heat air via a coil.


Condensing boiler
Some professionals believe that the condensate produced on the combustion side of the heat exchanger may corrode an aluminium heat exchanger and shorten boiler life. Statistical evidence is not yet available since condensing boilers with aluminium heat exchangers have not been in use long enough.


Central Heating and Cooling
Air from your home blows across the heat exchanger to be warmed. It is then blown through a system of ducts to distribute around your home. During warm seasons your heating system works with your central air conditioning. Air is cooled as itâs blown over your air conditioning.


How Does a Gas Boiler Heat Exchanger Work?
Gas boiler heat exchanger enables heat transfer from one source to another over a solid surface. If we speak about a condensing type, here the process includes the heat from fuel gases that is used for heating water that is returning from radiators to the boiler.


Central Heating and Cooling
CENTRAL HEATING. Central heating systems have a primary heating appliance, such as a furnace, typically located in your basement or garage. All furnaces consist of four main components: 1) burners that deliver and burn fuel, 2) heat exchangers, 3) a blower and 4) a flue that acts as an exhaust for gaseous by-products.

Turnip and Carrot Noodles
Therefore, after making your turnip noodles, soak them in a bowl of cold, salted water for at least 20 minutes. This will remove the icky turnip taste. You do not need to do this for the carrot noodles. Also, for root veggies, make sure to peel them before noodling.


How to Make Vegetable Noodles
Make parsnip lo mein with parsnip noodles. Make zucchini noodles and use in place of regular pasta for spaghetti. Use carrot noodles on top of salad to brighten it up. Roast root vegetable noodles (parsnip, turnip and sweet potato) with some curry seasoning for a hearty side. Add sliced veggies to soups as ânoodlesâ.


Turmeric-Miso Soup with Shiitakes, Turnips, and Soba Noodles
In a separate pot, bring roughly 3 quarts of water to boil, add soba noodles, and cook according to instructions on the package.

History: The red imported fire ant (RIFA) is native to the state of Mato Grosso in Brazil. It was introduced into the United States at Mobile, Alabama, about 1940. The exact date and method of introduction is not known.


Fire Ants
The sensation of a fire ant burn has been described as âstingingâ and âintense burning,â and fire ants are known to attack potential threats or prey in large numbers. A fire ant colony may contain 100,000 to 500,000 insects, thus increasing the likelihood that multiple stings will be inflicted.


Red Imported Fire Ant Facts | Anatomy, Diet, Behavior
The red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta) has long been known to the science since the early twentieth century. They are highly aggressive ants. If provoked, fire ants will come out of their nests and attack in large numbers. They are thought to consume dead animals and insects.


Red Imported Fire Ant Facts | Anatomy, Diet, Behavior
Fire ant workers grow to a length of 0.062 inch they seem more like southern fire ants. They are recognized by their reddish bodies but the last segment of the abdomen is shiny dark brown. Red imported fire ants have large eyes. Fire ants are unique in their nesting habits and behavior.


Fire Ants
Typically nest in the ground. At times, nests may appear as visible mounds of 61 cm in diameter and about 18 cm high. Large colonies can have up to 250,000 workers. Very active and aggressive, they will sting any intruding animal repeatedly. Fire ants are omnivorous. Known to eat meats, greasy and sweet materials. Fire ants are omnivores, meaning they will feed on animal or vegetable sources of food.


Red Imported Fire Ant ( Solenopsis invicta)
Red Imported Fire Ant (Solenopsis invicta) The red imported fire ant (RIFA) is a small reddish brown ant from South America . There are six known species of fire ants (Solenopsis spp.) in the United States, three of which are found in Arizona. These three species are the southern fire ant (S. xyloni), and two species of desert fire ant (S. aurea and S. amblychila).


-
Imported fire ants spread naturally during their mating flights. This spread is usually one mile or less but flights of up to 12 miles have been recorded. The flights occur most commonly in the spring or early summer, one or two days after a rain when the weather is warm and sunny and the wind is light.


Red Fire Ants and Fire Ant Treatment
Red Fire Ants and Fire Ant Treatment. Both native and Red Imported Fire Ants can sting. Red Imported Fire Ants are very aggressive and their sting can cause reactions ranging from irritation and nausea to even more severe reactions. Red Fire Ants are also known to attack animals that intrude on their nests.

Red Fire Ants and Fire Ant Treatment
Red Fire Ant and Diet. Red Imported Fire Ants will not only forage for food (such as small insects, dead animals, and sweet materials such as plant secretions) but will kill insects and small animals to feed . The Southern Fire Ant is attracted to a variety of foods including protein, greases, and sweet foods.

Water and Sanitation
Water is life. But when water is unsafe and sanitation non-existent, water can kill. Globally, waterborne illnesses are a leading cause of death for children under five, killing nearly 1,000 children every day. UNICEF works in more than 100 countries to improve access to safe, clean water and sanitation facilities. Whether by delivering clean water after a disaster or promoting safe hygiene practices in schools and communities, UNICEF is on the ground helping children in need.

Online Learning in Higher Education
Spring 2013 / Vol. 13, No. 2. Higher education in the United States, especially the public sector, is increasingly short of resources. States continue to cut appropriations in response to fiscal constraints and pressures to spend more on other things, such as health care and retirement expenses.


Online Learning in Higher Education
Finally, it is hard to exaggerate the importance of confronting the cost problems facing American public education at all levels. The public is losing confidence in the ability of the higher-education sector in particular to control costs.


What Is the Cost of Online Education Vs. Traditional Education?
The tuition fees for a traditional education don't include transportation costs, lab fees, housing and textbooks. Room rates at Warner Pacific College, for example, ranged between $1,735 and $9,360 per term for 2015-16, depending on which housing facility the student chose and the number of occupants.


Online Learning in Higher Education
The âexperience advantage,â therefore, is clearly in favor of the teachers of the traditional-format sections. The questionnaires also reveal that a number of the instructors in hybrid-format sections began with negative perceptions of online learning, which may have depressed the performance of the hybrid sections.


What Is the Cost of Online Education Vs. Traditional Education?
An example of this is Auburn University, where the base cost for online graduate courses was the same as its on-campus costs. The graduate tuition was $489 per semester hour for in-state residents in Fall 2015. Students with out-of-state residency paid $1,467 per semester hour during that period.

Costs are no less a concern in Kâ12 education. Until the 2008 financial crisis and the subsequent slowdown in U.S. economic growth, per-pupil expenditures on elementary and secondary education had been steadily rising.


What Is the Cost of Online Education Vs. Traditional Education?
The cost of tuition for traditional education varies from college to college. At the University of Wisconsin - Madison, undergraduate tuition cost $480.74 per credit in Spring 2016, while out-of-state students paid $1,282.81. The school also had special rates for Minnesota residents, which were $604.35 per credit.

Bacteria: Friend or Foe?
These bacteria ensure that the cycle of chemical exchange between organisms and their environment is continuous. The decision as to whether bacteria are friend or foe becomes more difficult when both the positive and negative aspects of the relationship between humans and bacteria are considered.ommensalism is a relationship that is beneficial to the bacteria which live off of the host, but does not help or harm the host. Most of the bacteria that reside within the bodies of humans are commensalistic.

Bridgeârepairs to this delicate part of the violin typically require a new piece cut with precision so that it is seated perfectly. The new piece is usually included in the cost which can range from $50-70 for student instruments, and around $70-100 for professional grade violins.


Avoiding the Violin Bridge Snap! (Important)
In this position the feet of the bridge should be in complete contact with the violin top. Since the top of the violin belly is curved, the bottom soles of the bridge's feet should likewise be curved to ensure maximum contact between the two surface areas, allowing optimum transfer of vibration energy.


Avoiding the Violin Bridge Snap! (Important)
STEP 3. Next, check that the violin bridge be placed not too far to the right or left, but right in the center as shown in the photo on the right. The outer edge of the bridge foot on either side should meet the vertical lines travelling down from the inside of the upper F-holes.

When I first learned how to set up an instrument I got to know how each element of the set up. should be in order to work well. (bridge, sound post, neckâ¦) I did not however really learn how to. see the instrument as a whole and how the interactions of all the elements work in the production of. sound. So this talk is a good chance for me to examine the procedures we use almost every day in. our work-shops when setting up instruments.

Many times, as a violin teacher, youâll hear the phrase, âHow much is it to fixâ¦â this or that on an instrument. But, a violin repair cost can vary, depending on the severity of the damage, or the luthierâs particular costs, so itâs difficult to know exactly how to advise your students or their parents concerning the level of expense.


Install a New Bridge on a Violin by Kevin M. Healy
Place the bridge on the violin in its place and using a pencil, I use a carpenter pencil with the end flat, scribe a line on both sides of the feet. This will give you the angle you need for the bridge feet. Slowly cut the feet down to this line making the feet slightly thicker than 1/16 inch. When finished, place the bridge on top of the violin, at the proper angle, ninety degrees at the back. Check the fit by shining a light under the feet.


Common Repair Problems & What To Do
If your soundpost falls down: First, loosen all of the strings to take the tension off of the instrument. Bring the instrument to a trusted repair shop where a luthier or qualified repair person can set the post back up. In some cases, a new soundpost may have to be cut. The bridge falls. First, check the top of the instrument to make sure that no cracks have formed. If there is a crack in the top, or in the bridge, or if the bridge is warped, take the instrument to a trusted repair shop for immediate repair.


Avoiding the Violin Bridge Snap! (Important)
Referring to the photo on the right, observe that the back of the bridge facing you while playing fully in tune is perpendicular to the violin top (i.e. 90 degree angle). Most of the time, bridges have stamps on them that indicate where the bridge was made from and is also facing you.


How to Repair a Violin
Violin Bridge. The Bridge is one of the most replaced parts on the violin. The bridge will need replacement for one or more reasons. 1. badly warped 2.poorly fitted 3.too low 4. poor quality wood 5. of poor workmanship. The kind of bridge to replace your old one would depend on the quality of your instrument.


-
Keep putting the bridge on the violin and work towards the back of the bridge being at right angles to the violin top. At the same time try to eliminate the gaps so that the bridge sits in full contact with the arching. Keep fitting until the bridge has no gaps. Get a strip of thin paper 2 x 6 cm.


Tax Tips for Seniors and Caregivers
Whether you are a senior citizen or a caregiver for one, tax season means accounting for the past year's medical expenses. Both individuals and people who care for qualifying relatives can claim tax deductions and credits for out-of-pocket medical expenses. These costs can include a range of expenditures such as: 1  Dental treatments. 2  Cost of transportation needed to get to a medical appointment.


Tax Breaks for Alzheimer's Care
But you may be able to defray part of the expense by employing certain tax-saving strategies or write-offs. The tax breaks could go to the person with the medical condition or to a family member who assumes the financial burden of care. SEE ALSO: Special Report on Long-Term Care. Medical deductions could provide valuable relief, for example, if you're tapping an IRA to cover costs. If you need $20,000 to pay for care, you'll need to take almost $27,000 from your IRA if you're in the 25% tax bracket, so you can cover the federal tax bill, too.


Publication 502 - Main Content
Deductible qualified long-term care costs in an ALF are defined as necessary rehabilitative services, maintenance or personal care services (defined later) that are: 1.

Minimalâmild endometriosis. In women with minimalâmild endometriosis, hormonal drugs are not an effective treatment for endometriosis-related infertility, as none of the drugs leads to better pregnancy rates. Therefore, they should not be used to improve fertility in women with minimalâmild endometriosis [8].


Overview
See your doctor if you have signs and symptoms that may indicate endometriosis. Endometriosis can be a challenging condition to manage. An early diagnosis, a multidisciplinary medical team and an understanding of your diagnosis may result in better management of your symptoms.


Infertility
Endometriosis does not equal infertility! It is important to remember that having endometriosis does not automatically mean that you will never have children. Rather, it means that you may have more problems in getting pregnant.


Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue that normally grows inside the uterus (endometrium) grows outside it. Most often this is on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and tissue around the uterus and ovaries; however, in rare cases it may also occur in other parts of the body. The main symptoms are pelvic pain and infertility. Nearly half of those affected have chronic pelvic pain, while in 70% pain occurs during menstruation.


-
Endometriosis is a disorder of the female reproductive system in which endometrial tissue (the normal lining of the uterus) is found outside the uterine cavity. An estimated three to five million American women of reproductive age suffer from endometriosis.


Infertility
Hormonal treatment. In women with minimalâmild endometriosis, hormonal drugs are not an effective treatment for endometriosis-related infertility, as none of the drugs leads to better pregnancy rates. Therefore, they should not be used to improve fertility in women with minimalâmild endometriosis [8].


Endometriosis and Infertility: What You Need to Know
Causes for Endometriosis-Related Infertility. âThe relationship between endometriosis and infertility has been debated for many years. In normal couples, fecundity is in the range of 0.15 to 0.20 per month and decreases with age. Women with endometriosis tend to have a lower monthly fecundity of about 0.02â0.1 per month.


Chapter 2: The Causes of Infertility
The relationship between endometriosis and infertility is not completely understood. The primary cause of infertility resulting from endometriosis appears to be a blockage caused by scarring and adhesions in the tubes. These adhesions can prevent the egg and sperm from meeting or prevent the fertilized egg from moving down the tube normally (resulting in an ectopic pregnancy).


Endometriosis and Infertility: What You Need to Know
Pain and infertility are the two main symptoms of endometriosis, but patients can also experience painful, debilitating menstrual cramps, pain during or after sex, pain in the intestine or lower abdomen, painful bowel movements or painful urination during menstrual periods, heavy menstrual periods, premenstrual spotting or bleeding between periods, ...

LeBron James Says He Only Has Three Friends In NBA, None Are His Teammates
LeBron James Says He Only Has Three Friends In NBA, None Are His Teammates. No, LeBron James isn't best friends with Kevin Love. And yes, that's perfectly OK. As media and fans try to split hairs over the uncertain chemistry between James and his new Cleveland Cavaliers teammate, LeBron isn't making any bones about it: They aren't best friends. But that's not a diss.


Report: Draymond Green called LeBron James a fâkboy
During Game 4 of the NBA Finals, LeBron James and Draymond Green got into a passionate altercation, which eventually ended with the Warriors forward being suspended one game. It was a rare sight to see James so emotional on the court, especially as play continued. During his postgame press conference he didn't explicitly say what Green said to him, but he told ESPN's Chris Broussard he was, in part, called the b-word.. MORE: No more terrible teammate, says Green. On The Bill Simmons Podcast, host Bill Simmons was talking with Jimmy Butler and said he heard a different story.


LeBron James Says He Only Has Three Friends In NBA, None Are His Teammates
First of all, Iâve got three very good friends in this league, and thatâs Carmelo [Anthony], and thatâs C.P. [Chris Paul], and thatâs D-Wade, James said, according to Cleveland.com. And after that I have a bunch of teammates. I have guys I ride for every day..


-
Here's the absurd way it could happen. LeBron James admitted he really hopes he can play with Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony. There's an admittedly farfetched way that could happen this summer. LeBron James has made no secret of his affinity for spending time with those he considers his friends. That's what led him to Miami in 2010. That also explains this juicy quote in an extended profile by Bleacher Report's Howard Beck on James' relationship with Carmelo Anthony.


How much longer will LeBron James play in the NBA?
He could play for another 10+ years if he does it right. Like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant he will inevitably lose a step as he ages and begins to become less effective at his current game. What makes LeBron different from those two is his physical size. At 6' 8 and 250lbs., he can become a very effective Power Forward. If he adds some more muscle weight and focuses on his post moves he can extend his career for years if he so chooses.
