Haas and Benjamin made their debut on the Smack Down! brand in December 2002, and won the WWE Tag Team Championship in February 2003. After losing the championship in May, Haas and Benjamin were fired from Team Angle, and changed their name to The Best Damn Tag Team Period, before settling on The World's Greatest Tag Team. They won the championship back in July, and their second reign lasted for two months. They continued to compete on Smack Down!, until March 2004, when Benjamin was moved to the Raw brand as part of the Draft Lottery. The team reformed in December 2006 on the Raw brand, and competed against numerous teams, although they were unsuccessful in winning the World Tag Team Championship. The team was split again in November 2007, when Benjamin moved to the ECW brand, but later reformed briefly back on Smack Down in May 2009. In 2010, the team reformed on the independent circuit, and began competing regularly for Ring of Honor (ROH), where they are former two-time ROH World Tag Team Champions.

Paul Heyman introduced Benjamin and Haas under the name Team Angle as a ""gift"" to his top client Kurt Angle. [5] Team Angle quickly involved themselves in a scripted rivalry with Chris Benoit and Edge, defeating them on January 30, 2003 to become the number one contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championship. [1]Benjamin as WWE Tag Team Champion in 2003The following week, on February 6, they won the WWE Tag Team Championship by defeating Los Guerreros. [6] They continued their rivalry with Benoit, facing him and Brock Lesnar at No Way Out in a handicap match, where they teamed with their mentor Angle in a losing effort. [7] After a successful title defense at Wrestle Mania XIX against Los Guerreros and the team of Chris Benoit and Rhyno, Team Angle lost the championship to Eddie Guerrero and his new partner Tajiri at Judgment Day on May 18 in a ladder match. [8] [9] Shortly afterwards, on June 12, Angle confronted Benjamin and Haas about the losing streak they had been in for a couple of weeks, and, after they blamed him for losing the Tag Team Championship and began to question his leadership, he fired them both from Team Angle. [5] [10] For a few weeks they wrestled against Angle, both in singles matches and in tag team matches. [11] [12]Soon after the breakup, Benjamin and Haas referred to themselves as The Best Damn Tag Team Period and then The Self-Proclaimed World's Greatest Tag Team, or The World's Greatest Tag Team for short. [1] They went on to recapture the WWE Tag Team Championship from Eddie Guerrero and Tajiri on July 3. [5] [13] [14] Following their win, they competed against the teams of Rey Mysterio and Billy Kidman and The APA, before losing the championship to the reformed Los Guerreros team two months later on September 18. [1] [5] [15] After their loss The World's Greatest Tag Team continued competing against Los Guerreros in an attempt to regain the championship, but were unsuccessful. [16] [17]In early 2004, The World's Greatest Tag Team began a scripted rivalry with The APA, and beat them at the No Way Out pay-per-view. [18] [19] Following their loss, The World's Greatest Tag Team mocked The APA, leading to The APA attacking them. Both the team of Scotty Too Hotty and Rikishi and the Basham Brothers also got involved in the brawl, leading to a fatal four-way match at Wrestle Mania XX for the WWE Tag Team Championship. [20] At Wrestle Mania, Scotty Too Hotty and Rikishi retained the championship. [21]Split (2004–2006) [ edit]The group stayed together until March 22, 2004 when, during the Draft Lottery, Benjamin was drafted to the Raw brand, breaking up The World's Greatest Tag Team. [5] [22] On the Raw brand Benjamin was quickly added to the WWE Intercontinental Championship picture, first challenging for it at Bad Blood in June 2004 against Randy Orton. [23] He eventually won the championship at Taboo Tuesday in October by defeating Chris Jericho, and held the championship for approximately eight months, eventually losing it to Carlito in June 2005. [24] [25] [26] He held the championship twice more during 2006. [27] [28]After Benjamin's draft, Haas gained Miss Jackie as a valet and teamed with Rico to win the WWE Tag Team Championship on April 22, 2004. [29] After a brief spell in singles competition, Haas joined forces with Hardcore Holly briefly, before being released from WWE in July 2005. [30] [31] Haas wrestled in the independent circuit for nearly a year, wrestling in Jersey All Pro Wrestling and other independent promotions before returning to WWE on the Raw brand in April 2006. [32] [33]Reformation on Raw (2006–2008) [ edit]On April 17, 2006, Haas returned to WWE as part of the Raw brand, defeating his former tag team partner, Benjamin, the very same night. [34] On the December 4 episode of Raw, after Benjamin pinned Super Crazy, Haas entered the ring, berated Crazy, and celebrated with a bewildered Benjamin. [35] The next week, Benjamin announced The World's Greatest Tag Team was officially back in a segment with Cryme Tyme. [36] [37] They defeated The Highlanders in a match later that same night. [37] They then started a scripted rivalry with Cryme Tyme, but were largely unsuccessful, including a tag team turmoil match at New Year's Revolution. [38] [39] [40] They finally pinned Cryme Tyme, however, ending their undefeated streak, on the January 29, 2007 episode of Raw. [41]On April 2, The World's Greatest Tag Team was unsuccessful in defeating the team of Ric Flair and Carlito, but defeated them in a rematch on April 16 when Haas distracted Carlito, allowing Benjamin to gain the win. [42] [43] They won again two weeks later when Carlito turned on Flair, attacking him and allowing The World's Greatest Tag Team to win via countout. [44] They then challenged the Hardy Boyz for the World Tag Team Championship at One Night Stand in a ladder match, but were unsuccessful. [45]Following this, The World's Greatest Tag Team began a rivalry with Paul London and Brian Kendrick after losing to the duo in their debut match on Raw. [46] A few weeks later, London defeated Benjamin in a singles match, however, on the July 23 episode of Raw, The World's Greatest Tag Team got a tag team win over London and Kendrick to end the rivalry. [2] [47] [48] For this match they were announced as The (Self-Proclaimed) World's Greatest Tag Team, having been previously using simply The World's Greatest Tag Team since their reformation. [2]Following this, Benjamin and Haas competed against the teams of Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes and Super Crazy and Jim Duggan until November, when the team was disbanded due to Benjamin joining the ECW roster. [49] [50] [51] Benjamin was drafted to the Smack Down brand as part of the 2008 Supplemental Draft. [52]Sporadic reformations (2009) [ edit]On April 15, 2009, Haas was drafted to the Smack Down brand as part of the 2009 Supplemental Draft. [53] On the May 8, 2009 episode of Smack Down, Benjamin accompanied Haas to the ring for his match against John Morrison, hinting at a possible reunion. [54] The following week on the May 15 episode of Smack Down, Benjamin and Haas unofficially reunited and competed against John Morrison and CM Punk in a losing effort. [55] At Judgment Day, Haas escorted Benjamin to the ring for his match against Morrison. [56] On June 29, Benjamin was traded back to the ECW brand. [57] On February 28, 2010, WWE announced that Haas had been released from his contract, and two months later, on April 22, WWE announced that Benjamin had also been released. [58] [59]Ring of Honor (2010–2013) [ edit]Charlie Haas (left) and Shelton Benjamin (right) as the ROH World Tag Team Champions in March 2012On August 2, 2010, Ring of Honor announced that Haas and Benjamin would reform as a tag team, at Glory By Honor IX on September 11, 2010, to wrestle the ROH World Tag Team Champions The Kings of Wrestling ( Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli ). [60] The duo later stated that they would collectively be known as Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team. [4] At Glory By Honor IX Haas and Benjamin were defeated by Hero and Castagnoli in a non–title match. [61] On December 8, 2010, Haas and Benjamin returned to Ohio Valley Wrestling, more than seven years after their previous match for the promotion. In their return match they defeated The Elite (Adam Revolver and Ted Mc Naler). [62] The following day they took part in their first Ring of Honor Wrestling tapings, defeating the Bravado Brothers (Harlem and Lance). [63] The following day, at the second set of television tapings, Haas and Benjamin defeated the All Night Express of Kenny King and Rhett Titus, before participating in an eight-man tag team match, in which Haas and Benjmain teamed with the Briscoe Brothers against the Kings of Wrestling and the All-Night Xpress. The match ended in a no contest. [64] On December 18 at the Final Battle 2010 pay-per-view, Haas and Benjamin announced that in 2011 they would be wrestling regularly for Ring of Honor. [65] At the following pay-per-view, 9th Anniversary Show, on February 26, 2011, Haas and Benjamin defeated the Briscoe Brothers in the main event of the evening to earn another shot at the Kings of Wrestling and the ROH World Tag Team Championship. [66] [67]On April 1, at Honor Takes Center Stage Night One, Haas and Benjamin defeated the Kings of Wrestling to win the ROH World Tag Team Championship. [68] On June 26 at Best in the World 2011, Haas and Benjamin successfully defended the ROH World Tag Team Championship in a four-way match against the Briscoe Brothers, the Kings of Wrestling and the All Night Express. [69] On December 23, Haas and Benjamin lost the ROH World Tag Team Championship to the Briscoe Brothers at the Final Battle 2011 pay-per-view, turning heel during the match. [70] On May 12, 2012 at Border Wars, Hass and Benjamin regained the ROH World Tag Team Championship from the Briscoe Brothers. [71] On June 24 at Best in the World 2012, Haas and Benjamin lost the title to Kenny King and Rhett Titus. [72]Shortly after their loss, Benjamin was suspended in storyline, to explain his absence while wrestling in Japan. Benjamin returned at the Death Before Dishonor X pay-per-view, accompanying Haas and Rhett Titus in a tag team championship match. Following Death Before Dishonor, Haas and Benjamin would continue to feud with Titus and his new tag team partner B. J. Whitmer defeating them at Glory By Honor XI. They defeated them again in a street fight at Final Battle. Benjamin was released from ROH in December 2012. He made one more appearance for ROH on February 2, 2013, when Haas turned on him during an ROH World Tag Team Championship match against the Briscoe Brothers. [73]Independent circuit (2014) [ edit]On November 15, 2014, Jersey All Pro Wrestling 's 18th Anniversary Show, Benjamin, Haas, and Angle (collectively known as Team Angle) reunited again. Haas and Benjamin defeated Chris Sabin and Teddy Hart in the main event of the show.

what is cmc program

Command Master Chief Program ( From OPNAVINST 1306.2C, 16 October 1995) The Navy's Command Master Chief (CMC) Program is a valuable asset which stimulates free-flowing communications and ensures the highest standards of professionalism are upheld at all levels within the chain of command.

Command Master Chief Program

Command Master Chiefs strengthen the chain of command by keeping the Commanding Officer aware of existing or potential situations as well as procedures and practices which affect the mission, readiness, welfare and morale of the Sailors in the command. CMC's are the senior enlisted leaders who report directly to their respective Commanding Officers. They formulate and implement policies concerning morale, welfare, job satisfaction, discipline, utilization and training of Navy personnel. By reporting directly to their Commanding Officer, the CMC's keep their chain of command aware and informed of sensitive and current issues. All commands with 250 or more enlisted manpower will have a CMC assigned by the Bureau of Personnel. All carrier based Air Wing squadrons, deployable Helicopter Antisubmarine Warfare Light, Helicopter Combat Support, and Maritime Patrol squadrons will have CMC requirement regardless of size due to the complexity of their operations. Those commands that do not have enlisted manpower of 250 shall assign a CMC from within command resources on a collateral duty basis. In the absence of a Master Chief Petty Officer (MCPO), a Senior Chief Petty Officer (SCPO) or Chief Petty Officer (CPO) may be assigned. Selection as Command Master Chief To qualify for selection as a primary duty CMC, the individual must possess, among others, the following qualities:a. Have demonstrated superior leadership and broad management skills b. Posses effective communication abilities and proven administration capabilities. c. Have a sharp military appearance, demeanor, military bearing, and meet all health and physical readiness standards. d. Have an outstanding performance record. CMCs are selected by a CMC selection board that convenes twice a year. Once selected, the Master Chief will be assigned to attend the Senior Enlisted Academy prior to reporting to their respective commands. Additionally, selectee must have achieved qualification in their respective warfare areas. CMC Selection Board Composition The CMC selection board composition, convening in May and November, will consist of:a. One Post Major Command O-6. b. Two post command Commanders or captains. c. Three serving Fleet/Force Master Chiefs. d. Four serving CMC's, with broad experience. e. The CMC Detailer acting as recorder. f. Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) will be the principal advisor to the board. CMC Authority and Responsibilities As the senior enlisted leader to the Commanding Officer, the Command Master Chief must work closely with the Executive Officer in the dissemination and promotion of command policy. Authority and Responsibilities of a Command Master Chief include, but are not limited to, the following:a. Maintain and promote effectiveness and efficiency of the chain of command. b. Assist the Commanding Officer in all matters pertaining to the welfare, health, job satisfaction, morale utilization, and training of the enlisted personnel in order to promote traditional standards of good order and discipline. c. Advise the Commanding Officer on formulation and implementation of changes in policy pertaining to the enlisted personnel. d.

Command Disciplinary Boards. 13. Recreation advisory boards. 14. Command Training team. Programs Chaired by the Command Master Chief Welfare and Recreation committee The Welfare and Recreation committee also included the Human Relations Board. Each division was represented and would bring division ideas to the meeting. Each idea would be discussed and recommendations from the committee would be included in the report to the CO. Present at all meetings (twice a month) were the Supply Officer, Welfare and Recreation Officer, Human Relations Officer, and Chaplain. Problems were solved at these meetings, or at least brought out in the open to be discussed, and solutions recommended. Sailor of the Month The Sailor of the Month committee consisted of the senior Chief Petty Officer of each department. Each division would submit a name for consideration to their respective department head who would make the department selection via a meeting with department division officers and Leading Chiefs. Each department selection would appear before the Sailor of the Month committee. After each record was reviewed the committee members would ask any questions they desired of each candidate, and the Ship's Sailor of the Month would then be selected by the committee. Sailor of the Year Sailor of the Year candidates consisted of each Sailor of the Month, plus other individual submitted by any division or department. Much the same criteria for Sailor of the Month was applied to Sailor of the Year, with a little more attention to detail in all aspects of the candidates qualifications. Warfare qualifications, although not a requirement, weighed heavily in the selection process. Appearance and how the candidate would represent the ship were also important considerations. Enlisted Surface Warfare System (ESWS)The CMC assigned a Senior Chief (volunteer) to establish the ESWS program, with CMC's concurrence on all program policies and procedures. A very strenuous and long training syllabus was put into place that required some dedicated work a studies on the part of each participant. We did not want a program that gave away the qualification just for the sake of numbers. The CMC went through the program, taking him eight months to complete and gain the ESWS qualifications. Instructors came from each division, covering their portion of the PQS. Classes were scheduled every evening in the various parts of the ship (depending on the ship's schedule), and repeated as many time as necessary to insure all students received the training. Upon completion of the PQS, a board was set up on the mess decks with an expert in each area questioning the trainees thoroughly. The testing time usually took all day because of the thoroughness and intensity of the questions. Those that lacked in areas were told to continue studying in those weak areas and return to the board at a later time. Those that passed were sent on to the Commanding Officers board, which consisted of the CO, CMC, and an expert in each area. This board was designed more for the Commanding Officer's questions than the other board members. The Commanding Officer, after consulting the board, would make the final decision. Disciplinary Review Board (DRB)The Disciplinary Review Board was made up of the CMC and selected Chief Petty Officers from each department and met when necessary. Members rotated every three months in order to give each Chief Petty Officer the opportunity to gain the experience, which I believe is part of the leadership package. All violations, except the very serious as designated by the Executive Officer were brought before the DRB. The board heard all charges, witnesses, and division comments concerning the violation, and determined if punishment can be administered at the board, or, in the case of a more serious charge, must go to Executive Masts. Each accused had the option of accepting the punishment administered by the board or having the case referred to the Executive Officer. All results of the board were sent to the Executive Officer for approval. The DRB worked out very well, relieving the Executive Officer of time necessary to conduct masts for violations not deemed very serious. It also gave the Chief Petty Officers a better understanding of how best to handle certain situations in their own divisions. Command Advancement Program (CAP)The Command Advancement Program provides the Commanding Officer the authority to advance well deserved personnel without the need to take the advancement exam or compete for the promotion, up to Petty Officer First Class. Advancements are limited in number for each paygrade per calendar year, depending on the ship type and size. The CAP board consisted of the CMC and Chief Petty Officers and/or First Class Petty Officers representing each department. Candidates were submitted to the board for review and, if there were more candidates than quota, ranking. Results of the board were sent to the Executive Officer, then to the Commanding Officer. Each selectee would be presented to the Commanding Officer for further review and interrogation. the Commanding Officer would make the final decision. Indebtedness Officer The CMC was assigned as the Indebtedness Officer in dealing with the Enlisted personnel. When an Indebtedness letter on an enlisted individual came to the ship, it would be directed to the CMC. The CMC would conduct an investigation and, where needed, training on financial responsibilities. In most cases, the infraction would be something that can be handled at the CMC level with no indebtedness record entries. For those infractions of a more serious nature, the case would be referred to the Executive Officer. As in the DRB, this program relieved the Executive Officer for more important duties. Ombudsman The CMC worked closely with the ship's assigned Ombudsman. All problems, situations, and events brought before the Ombudsman that required ship's intervention was directed toward the CMC for action. The majority of the problems and situations were such that they could be handled by the CMC, having communications with other cognizant officers aboard for assistance, such as the Chaplain, Disbursing Officer, Department Heads, etc. For those problems of a more serious nature, the situation would be referred to the Executive Officer and Commanding Officer. Other Functions of the Command Master Chief The Command Master Chief performed many other duties and functions. He spent much of his time walking through the ship, talking with the enlisted personnel about anything they wanted to talk about. This gave the CMC the opportunity to find out what problems exists in the ship without making a formal inquiry. It leads to more understanding of the feelings of the crew and was instrumental in preventing problems before they appeared. The CMC worked closely with the Chaplain. Many of their functions crossed paths. The newly assigned personnel were sent to an indoctrination class, run by the Chaplain. The CMC assisted and conducted classes on the CMC duties, ESWS Program, PQS requirements, Welfare and Recreation, and Human Relations. The CMC conducted the Petty Officer and Chief Petty Officer Indoctrination program for personnel selected for advancement. Where possible, the classes were conducted off the ship to prevent interference from onboard activities. It was felt that the importance classes were such that moving off the ship was necessary. The classes were conducted by selected the Officers, Chief Petty Officers, and First Class Petty Officers, as well as the CMC. The Commanding Officer addressed the class at the conclusion of each course. The CMC attended every Department Head meeting in order to ensure the enlisted personnel were well represented. Too often, the Department Heads looked at the ship's requirements without consideration of the enlisted. He also attended the Planning Board for Training for input to the ship's training schedule. The Chief Petty Officers were very active in ship's policy development. They know the ship's underway schedule as well as the all the ship's requirements. On numerous occasions, the first draft of a ship's policy (or update) was written by an assigned Chief Petty Officer with inputs and discussions with other members of the CPO mess. The draft was then presented to the Department Heads by the CMC for their discussion and revision. It would then go to the Executive Officer and Commanding Officer.

who is sakura haruno

Sakura Haruno is a lead character of the Naruto series that was created by Masashi Kishimoto. It first began serialization Weekly Shonen Jump in November 1999. She was first introduced during the first story arc, when Naruto was assigned to a team.

Sakura Haruno

Sakura is a bright and energetic ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village and a member of Team 7 as their medic. She was trained by the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, in both medical jutsu and combat. Now, she's a powerhouse in close-combat. Contents [ show]Origin Sakura was born and raised in the Village Hidden in the Leaves in the Land of Fire. Her parents are shopkeepers, but she entered the Ninja Academy to train to be a ninja of the village. At the academy, she was ruthlessly teased by the other girls in her class for the size of her forehead. This drove her to try and cover her forehead with her hair but this only made her insecurities easier to target by the bullies in the class. The person who came to her rescue was Ino Yamanaka. Ino defended Sakura and told her to embrace her large forehead. She took a bow and pulled Sakura's hair up and out of her eyes. The two became close friends and Sakura came out of her shell to be more confident and assertive. This friendship began to fracture when one day Sakura told Ino that the boy she was interested in was Sasuke Uchiha. Not only was he the star of the class but also the boy Ino liked. In a short period of time, they went from friends to bitter rivals. Each even grew their hair out just on a rumour that Sasuke liked girls with long hair. Ino mocked Sakura for her forehead, and she would call Ino a pig (inoko). They were now in constant competition with each other over a boy who hardly noticed either of them. Upon learning of her assignment to Team 7, Sakura returned the ribbon Ino gave her replacing it with her forehead protector. Creation

Despite Sakura's popularity, she was not intended to be the heroine of the series. Kishimoto blames himself for this by describing himself as being unable to draw a good heroine character type. The best he came up with for Sakura is a girl who couldn't understand men, who is an irritating character but always well intentioned. Still, he became quite fond of Sakura and feels much of her personality can be found in just about everyone. This is possibly one explanation as to why she is so easy to relate with for most readers. In an interview with Kishimoto for Weekly Shonen Jump of June 2006, he said that she was the closest to being a normal person and would make the best ninja instructor of the Team 7 members. He also blamed his own lack of experience for not being able to draw her as looking ""cute"". Even his staff agreed she was ""far from cute"". He does imply that he felt she became cuter as the series went on and his skills improved. Her most prominent feature is her large forehead. He would occasionally overcompensate and draw it too large. In a 2010 interview, he said that he felt Hinata Hyuga would be a better fit as the heroine of the series, but would strive to give Sakura more heroic scenes in the future. ""This was how I first imagined Sakura. Let's face it...she's really not that cute, is she? Especially back then! But that was mostly because I'm not that good with female characters in general, so making one of them cute is always a big challenge for me. """" There's a lot more to being a good manga character than just cuteness, you know... At least, that's my excuse. The trouble makers and the curmudgeons I can draw without breaking a sweat....but girls are really hard. "" Masashi Kishimoto - ""Naruto"" Volume 3 Early Character Designs - Sakura Sakura Haruno early design sketches. While designing Sakura, Kishimoto first concentrated on her silhouette and wanted her costume to be as simple as possible. This wasn't the case for the other male leads who were given more complicated designs. So much so that he was concerned about being able to draw the series every week. Shorts were added to her Chinese style of dress to give her a feel of being more active. The first design had them as long as past her knees but were brought up higher to mid-thigh. These became tighter and shorter as the series progressed. For her redesign after the two year time skip, Kishimoto wanted to give her a costume that reflected a more karate background that kept a Chinese design to keep a feminine feel. This is seen in her top. Sakura was given pink hair to create a unique look for the series and relation to cherry blossoms, for which she is named. Her family name of Haruno (春野) means ""spring field"", and her given name of Sakura サクラ comes from the Japanese cherry blossom (桜, sakura), the national flower of Japan. When put together, her full name Haruno Sakura can mean "" spring field of cherry blossoms "". The sash of her forehead protector, boots, and shorts were nearly always colon teal. She is also coloured with painted nails and pink eye shadow. For the anime, her accessories are all painted as a standard blue and is never shown to wear any cosmetics. The second season Naruto Shippuden anime accurately follows the colour scheme used in the manga. Sakura has had various places in the fan polls for the Naruto cast. In the first poll she ranked 5th, the second she fell to 14th, the third she reached 9th, the fourth she ranked 10th, in the fifth she ranked 8th, in the sixth she ranked 12, seventh she ranked 6th with 9,701 votes, and in the eighth poll she tied for 12th with Sai. Sakura is the only member of Team 7 whose parents have never been shown, her mother has been heard talking but is never seen. Character Evolution""I've always considered myself to be a true ninja... but those were just empty words, because Sasuke and Naruto were always in the lead! But now it's my turn to take the lead, and all of you can watch me from the background! "" Sakura Haruno Sakura with long hair. Sakura has had some of the most dramatic growth of the series. Her infatuation with Sasuke was the reason her childhood friendship with Ino Yamanaka fell apart. They both grew their hair out long because they had heard a rumour that Sasuke liked girls with long hair. She tried to play the sweet and innocent young girl, but often times her inner thoughts are exposed in the series through what is called the ""Inner Sakura"". It shows that she's far more aggressive than the face she shows to the public and enjoys immature activities, such as pranks. Though, she was open in her hatred for Naruto. She always felt that she was being left behind in her squad since Sasuke was already so skilled and Naruto was showing constant improvement. Her overindulgence in superficial issues, such as her hair care, nearly got her and her team killed during the Chunin Exams. Sakura with short hair Tired of always being the victim in need of being saved, she used her own kunai to slice her long hair to free herself and defend her friends. She battled Ino for the second potion of the Chunin Exams, even though they both lost, their battle helped them work out their issues and mend their broken friendship. After the invasion of the Hidden Leaf Village, Sakura was surprised to learn that it was Naruto and not Sasuke who saved her from Gaara. Her opinion of Naruto slowly began to rise, but Sasuke began to move further away emotionally. She tried to stop Naruto from fighting and jumped into the middle of it. She may have been killed if not for Kakashi Hatake ending the fight. Later that night, she ran into Sasuke who was leaving the village to go to Orochimaru. At first she tried to get him to stay but when that failed she pleaded with him to take her along. She confessed her love, but he still ignored her. When she threatened to scream, he moved behind her, thanked her, then knocked her unconscious. Shikamaru refused to allow Sakura to join the retrieval team, and in tears she begged Naruto to bring Sasuke back. This mission failed and Naruto was nearly killed. When Naruto left to go train with Jiraiya, Sakura turned to the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, to be trained by her so she could help Naruto on his return. Next time, she could help bring Sasuke back. Rank: Chunin Registered Ninja #: 012601Zodiac Sign: Aries Blood Type: OCompleted Assignments: D-Rank 12 / C-Rank 9 / B-Rank 6 / A-Rank 7 / S-Rank 0After a two year time skip in the manga series, Sakura is now at the age of 15 or 16 years old and reached the rank of Chunin. She was trained in all the skills and techniques of Tsunade and even has the same level of monstrous strength. No longer would she be playing the support role and was now a force to be feared in hand-to-hand combat. When Naruto returned, their first mission together was to save Gaara from the Akatsuki. She cured Gaara's brother Kankuro from the effects of an unknown poison, and defeated Sasori of the Akatsuki with the assistance of Chiyo. They eventually found Sasuke and she got her first look at the powers of the Nine-tailed Fox sealed within Naruto. After Sasuke escaped with Orochimaru, Sakura spent most of her time back at the Leaf Village after they returned. She was shocked to later learn that Sasuke had joined the Akatsuki and was classified as a Rouge Ninja. Sasuke's Team 7 replacement, Sai, would question her about what she was doing to Naruto with the promise he made to her to get Sasuke back. With this in mind, she made a resolution that she shared with the rest of her friends. First she met with Naruto and confessed to him that she was in love with him and had given up on Sasuke. When this failed to get Naruto to return, she left in search of Sasuke so she could kill him herself. He got the best of her and was ready to kill her, but she was saved at the last moment by Kakashi, who was told what she was attempting. Sasuke told them both he intended to return to the Leaf Village to kill everyone. Sakura took part in the Fourth Great Shinobi War that broke out on the side of the Ninja Alliance against the Akatsuki. It is unknown if Sakura's confession of love was her honest feelings or just a ploy to get Naruto to stop chasing after Sasuke for her. Major Story Arcs Introduction Arc Before graduating, Sakura and the rest of the students were given the task of forming a chakra clone of themselves, which Sakura passed. She was now a Genin (lowest ninja rank) and would soon learn who her two teammates are. The next day, on her way to school she ran into Ino. Sakura and Ino both wanted to be on Sasuke’s team, but only Sakura would be lucky enough. However, her other teammate was Naruto, who had a crush on Sakura. Sakura was now a part of Team 7, with Naruto and Sasuke, and their leader was Kakashi. The team learned of a pass or fail survival test that Kakashi was going to administer. The next day, they arrived at the training location with their ninja gear ready to go. However, Kakashi deliberately arrived hours late, and told them that he “crossed a black cat and had to take a detour."" Kakashi shows them two bells and tells them that both only two, one, or none of them are going to pass, and the failure will return to the academy. When the test begins, Sakura showed more interest in following Sasuke around and ignored Naruto. After this, Sakura was lectured by Kakashi for not helping Naruto, and she finally realized how serious this test was. Kakashi then tied Naruto up and gave Sakura and Sasuke food to eat. He warned them that if they allow Naruto to eat, they will fail immediately. Sasuke and Sakura defied Kakashi’s words and fed Naruto anyway. Kakashi showed up extremely angry and demands an explanation; Sakura told Kakashi that they fed him because he was their teammate. Kakashi then revealed that they are the first team to pass this test, and now the team is ready for missions. Land of the Waves Arc Sakura and her team-mates protecting Tazuna Team 7 is assigned to protect a bridge builder named Tazuna. Their mission becomes a Class A ranked mission when they discover that a high ranked ninja was after him. Sakura suggests that they abandon the mission because it is ranked A and Naruto’s hand is injured, but they decide to proceed with the mission anyways. Team 7 runs into a Hidden Mist village ninja named Zabuza. They discover that he is extremely powerful and they prepare before the confrontation. Sakura would eventually head to the battlefield herself, where she discovers that she has amazing control over her own chakra. When Sasuke appeared to have died in the battle, Sakura violates Shinobi Rule #25, which states that a shinobi may never display any kind of emotion in the battlefield, by crying when Sasuke “died.”Chunin Exams Arc Upon returning to Konoha, Team 7 arrive just in time to register and take the Chunin Exams. The exams are used to promote Genin from all hidden villages to Chunin rankings. The first part of the exam is written, which is good for Sakura. The second part of the Chunin Exams was a survival test. Each team was given a scroll to protect, and the team must steal more scrolls and take it to the middle of the arena. Team 7 is first attacked by Orochimaru, whom Naruto and Sasuke were able to fend off. However, both of them were rendered unconscious during the fight and Sakura was left to care for them until they recovered. Unfortunately, Genin from the Sound village were ordered by Orochimaru to finish off Team 7. Sakura frees herself from Kin's grasp by cutting her hair. Sakura tries her best to protect her unconscious teammates. Rock Lee arrived to protect Sakura, but was defeated by the Sound Genin. One of the Sound Genin named Kin Tsuchi (female Genin) grabs Sakura’s hair and taunts her for her weakness, claiming that she would rather look pretty instead of training her ninja skills. Sakura in turn, cuts off her own hair and matures during the process. Sakura continued to try and defend her team, until Ino and her team realized that Sakura was in trouble. Sakura prepares to attack Zaku. An unconscious Sasuke re-awakened during the fight after receiving Orochimaru's cursed seal, and proceeded to ask Sakura who injured her. Quickly overcome by his new cursed mark, he begins a violent rampage on the Sound Genin. Frightened by his new behavior, a tearful Sakura rushes to his side and wraps her arms around him, begging him to stop. Her tearful words and embrace get through to him, and his cursed seal quickly recedes. Team 7 would be allowed to rest while Ino and her team watch their backs. When they fully recover, the team heads toward the middle and meets a fellow Konoha Genin named Kabuto. The four help each other to reach the middle of the arena and are successful. Sakura fighting Ino during her preliminary match. Reaching the middle allows them to proceed in the exam. The next part of the exam were one-on-one preliminary battles. Sakura was forced to battle Ino first, but the two accepted their fate. Sakura and Ino go down to the battle area and insult each other face to face. Ino cuts her hair claiming to follow what Sakura did earlier, however Ino had placed her own chakra in the cut hair. When Sakura came near the hair spread upon the floor, Ino was able to use her chakra to ensnare Sakura in place. With Sakura trapped, Ino was able to use her Mind Body Swap technique easily. Ino appeared to be the victor as she was going to force Sakura to forfeit. However, Sakura was strong enough to resist Ino’s technique and force Ino out her of own body. The two of them were both exhausted, and would charge each other for the final blow. Sakura and Ino both strike the other's face simultaneously, resulting in a double knockout. The final decision of the match was declared a draw, and both were disqualified from the exams. When Sakura and Ino recovered, they reconciled their friendship. Invasion of Konoha Arc The third part of the Chunin Exams was a tournament for those that passed the second part of the exams. Naruto and Sasuke both advanced to this round, and Sakura, who was disqualified, watched the rest of the exam. However, the Chunin Exams would be interrupted by an invasion of Konoha shortly after Sasuke’s fight with Gaara began. Many of the ninjas were forced into sleep by a genjutsu, Sakura was one of the few qualified Genin to repel the genjutsu, as she was trained in its use. Kakashi then assigned Sakura to wake Naruto and go after Sasuke. When the two of them catch up to Sasuke, they discover him fighting Gaara in a monster form. Upon catching up with Sasuke, Sakura protects him from Gaara's attacks, though Gaara uses his sand to immobilize her. As the sand slowly suffocates Sakura, Naruto fights to defeat Gaara, determined to save her life. Sasuke Retrieval Arc Just as Sasuke was recovering from his injuries, he became more violent and aggressive toward everyone. Sakura tried to stop Naruto and Sasuke as they were fighting at the top of the hospital, and she nearly got caught in the middle of their most powerful attacks. She was saved the Kakashi appearing to deflect the boys and flinging them away. Kakashi promised her that everything would be fine soon. This didn't turn out to be true, because Sakura caught Sasuke leaving the village to go to Orochimaru. At first she begged him to take her with him. After she threatened to scream, Sasuke appeared behind her, thanked her, then knocked her out. She reported his actions, and Naruto, Shikamaru, Neji, and Choji were sent after him. Sakura training under Tsunade's tutelage. Before they left, she begged Naruto to bring him back, and he confidently promised he would. When Naruto set out the next day to retrieve Sasuke, Sakura came out to meet him. Sakura begged for Naruto to bring Sasuke back, believing Naruto to be the only person who could get through to Sasuke. Naruto, looking at the crying Sakura, promised her that he would bring Sasuke back, making it his promise to her for a lifetime. This brought more tears as Sakura realised that Naruto knew how she felt and that he had always been there for her. After Naruto failed to bring Sasuke back and was left hospitalised in the process, he apologized to Sakura for his failure and asserted that he would definitely keep his promise. Inspired by Naruto's determination, she replied that, next time, they would retrieve Sasuke together, and that she would be there to help him from now on. Determined to never be useless again and to save Sasuke and help Naruto, Sakura then asked to become Tsunade's apprentice, a request which Tsunade happily accepted. Kazekage Rescue Arc Two years have gone by. Naruto has returned to the Leaf Village from his training with Jiraiya, and Sakura has become an excellent ninja under Tsunade’s training. When Naruto returned, Tsunade gave the two of them the mission of taking on Kakashi to show off the results of their training. He gave them the bell test once more, and the pair gave him much more of a challenge. They eventually got the bells by outwitting Kakashi. Just as their training ended, they received an emergency notice from the Sand Village that the Akatsuki had attacked and taken Gaara, the Kazekage. Team seven was given the mission to retrieve him, and they caught up with his sister Temari, who had just left the Leaf Village. Sakura and Chiyo fighting together. When they arrived at the Sand Village, they found Gaara's brother Kankuro had been poisoned with a special venom from Sasori, an Akatsuki member. She used the justu she had learned from Tsunade to save his life and develop an antidote. Team 7 was joined by Sand Village elder, Chiyo, in the search for Gaara. During the journey to the Land of Rivers, Sakura finally learned that Naruto was a Jinchuriki, a human with the Tailed Beasts sealed inside of them. Their pursuit was held back by who they thought was Itachi Uchiha, but revealed to be corpse puppets once defeated. Chiyo then explained that If the beasts are ever removed the host will die. Sakura finally understood the threat Naruto had been living under his whole life. They reached the base of the Akatsuki and were joined by Team 9. The teams separated to break the seal, but Sakura destroying Sasori's puppet bodyonce inside they found Gaara to be dead. Naruto lost his temper and chased after Deidara. Kakashi followed, and Chiyo and Sakura fought with Sasori. After destroying his first puppet form, his more human puppet body was revealed.

They had both used Sakura's antidote so Sasori's poisons would but useless for a short time. Sakura was injured after the antidote had worn off. Though Sasori had been defeated, Chiyo used a jutsu that sacrificed some of her own life to heal Sakura. As a prize for winning, Sasori revealed he had a spy in Orochimaru's camp he was scheduled to meet. Chiyo and Sakura caught up to Naruto after he got back Gaara's body. Chiyo then used her forbidden jutsu once more with the help of Naruto's chakra to revive Gaara. Sakura withheld from Naruto that this would sacrifice Chiyo's life. After resting at the Sand Village, they all returned home with a source of how to find Sasuke. Sasuke and Sai Arc Kakashi had been badly wounded during the mission and was forced to be hospitalized after they returned to the Leaf Village.

Itachi Pursuit Arc When news reached Konoha that Sasuke had killed Orochimaru, Sakura and Naruto were the first to join Kakashi's Eight Man Squad, and began the hunt. During her search, she barely missed a member of Sasuke's Hebi, Karin, and later regrouped with the others. When Kiba caught Sasuke's scent, the group followed until they encountered Tobi. Sakura initially suspected that he was using genjutsu or clone techniques, but after Hinata pointed out that his chakra remained in one location and Tobi managed to escape Shino's bugs, she realised that he was removing parts of his body from existence. She attempted to head to Sasuke's location with her team, but Tobi had already taken him away.

Sakura is later seen in a tent along with Naruto, Kakashi, and Shizune, telling them about Tsunade going into a coma, and that neither she nor Shizune could do anything for her. She tried to cheer Naruto up, but her effort was interrupted by the arrival of Kiba. Kiba told them that Danzo, has replaced Tsunade as Hokage and that he has ordered Sasuke to be executed as a missing-nin. Naruto and Sakura, hoping they might be able to convince Danzō to change his mind, asked Sai about him. Sakura forms a team to hunt down Sasuke Sai is unable to tell them anything, but their questioning attracted the attention of Omoi and Karui.

Seeing how upset this made Sakura, Naruto volunteered to tell them for her the information they wanted to know about Sasuke. Naruto, along with Kakashi and Yamato, went to the Land of Iron to ask the Fourth Raikage to forgive Sasuke. While they are gone, Sai informed Sakura of the lengths Naruto has gone to make her happy. He also said that although Naruto loved her, the strain of trying to bring Sasuke home and fulfilling the promise he made to her, cause him nothing but constant pain. Shikamaru joined the conversation on behalf of the other members of the Konoha 11, telling Sakura that Sasuke's actions will only lead to war. Believing that the best course of action would be for them to personally stop Sasuke, Shikamaru asked for Team 7's consent. Sakura agreed, but insisted that she be the one to tell Naruto. Sasuke attacking Sakura from behind. Sakura, Sai, Kiba, and Lee went to the Land of Iron to talk to Naruto. After they located him, Sakura made a false confession of love to Naruto and claimed she no longer cares about Sasuke and encouraged him to give up on the promise he made to her. Naruto, knowing very well that she's still in love with Sasuke and that she doesn't love him, does not believe her and says she is lying to herself. Angered by this, she insisted it was true and then pushed for Naruto to forget his promise to her and focus on the fact that Akatsuki is after him. Naruto, in turn, said that he was also pursuing Sasuke for his own reasons, not just because of his promise to her. Again, furious by this, Sakura left with her group. Ignoring Kiba's questions about why she hasn't told Naruto their plans, she asked him to help her find Sasuke. When they start nearing Sasuke, Sakura tried to set off a knockout gas to incapacitate Kiba, Sai, and Lee. Sai stopped her and, having told Naruto and Kakashi about their plans, instructed them to wait for Kakashi to arrive. She convinced Kiba and Lee to fight Sai with her, but used the knockout gas on them as they began to scuffle. Sakura found Sasuke about to kill Karin. She stopped him and told him that she wanted to join him, even if that means betraying Konoha. Suspicious, Sasuke told her to show her resolve by killing Karin. Pretending to agree, Sakura approached them, thinking that if she killed him now, it will all be over. Karin interrupted her by warning her that Sasuke was about to kill her, but his attack was blocked by Kakashi. he instructed Sakura to heal Karin and to leave once she had done so. However she snuck up on Sasuke and tried once again to kill him, but she then started to remember all the times they had together and she was ultimately unable to bring herself to do it. Sasuke noticed Sakura and seized her by the throat and attempted to kill her, she was then rescued by Naruto. Naruto then prepared himself to attack Sasuke after Kakashi tells him and Sakura that he will personally take care of Sasuke and wishes for them not to witness it. Kakashi states that Sakura's kunai was crafted by Sakura herself, with poison learned from Shizune, and that it would most likely not work as Orochimaru would have made him immune to it. After Naruto voiced his determination that he and Sasuke will die together one day in battle, and that he would shoulder Sasuke's hatred as a friend, Sakura was touched by Naruto's determination, and showed her gladness that he showed her a way for Team 7 to still have a happy ending. The ""Konoha 11"" meet to discuss Sasuke However, Naruto suddenly collapsed from the poison kunai that Sasuke used to nick Naruto's face when he saved Sakura from him, and Sakura panicked, and gave him an antidote on Kakashi's request. After Sakura gave Naruto the antidote, Naruto says he still feels sick. When Naruto asks who Karin is, Sakura replies that she's a partner of Sasuke, which Karin denies. When the group are ready to leave the bridge, Kakashi reminds Sakura that she left something behind to which he is referring to Kiba and the others. Team 7 and Karin are later seen with the sleeping Kiba, Akamaru, Lee and Sai and Kakashi expects Sakura to apologise to them after they awake to which she will. After returning to Konoha, Sakura is seen present with the rest of her friends, wondering as to what Naruto is hiding from them, remembering his statement about his and Sasuke's death in a possible fight. She is then seen out of breath when she meets up with Naruto at the Ramen Ichiraku, and she is happy to inform him that Tsunade is awake. Teuchi then offers her a bowl but, being in a rush to tell people the good news, she turns it down. She then tells Naruto she will see him later. Shinobi World War Arc Sakura healing Guy before the start of the war. Sakura is placed within the Third Division and is later seen using her Mystical Palm Technique to heal Might Guy and wondering how he got to be in this condition right before the war, while a worried Lee looks on. Later on, Sakura is seen with her division as a red flare goes off and Kakashi orders them to go the Surprise Attack Division. Along with her division, they encountered Zabuza and Haku who were about to attack the Surprise Attack Division. She was shocked to see Zabuza and Haku again. After Haku and Zabuza's personalities were wiped out along with those of Pakura and Gari, Kakashi orders his squadrons to group themselves around the sensor ninja in the Manji Formation. Lee then tells Sakura that he'll protect her no matter what, to which Sakura tells him to also be careful as last time Zabuza attacked from the only weak spot of the formation: the centre. When the battle began in earnest, Sakura began healing the wounded. As the battle came to a halt when night fell, Sakura went to the Logistical Support and Medical Division compound to heal all the wounded that were being moved to a central location. She attends to an unknown ninja's wound before Neji arrives. After she finishes she tells him that he should take the opportunity to get as much Sakura defeating ""Neji""rest as possible. She is later seen outside one of the barracks after being alerted that three jōnin level medics were killed by an unknown assailant. When they surmise that a spy must've entered their numbers despite their stringent security measures, she dismisses the Transformation Technique as their method as the sensors would've detected them and assumes that one of their own must be under the enemy's control. Later as she prepares to start her rounds again, she is approached by the ninja she had healed earlier who hands her a love letter saying that he didn't know if he'll survive the war or not. She takes the letter and thanks him, but tells him that she loves someone else. Sakura and Shizune autopsying White Zetsu Army clone. After one last compliment, the Iwa shinobi leaves the tent visibly disappointed that Sakura was in love with someone else, Sakura soon afterwards becomes saddened as she starts thinking about Sasuke. Moments later, Neji then enters her tent asking her if she was ok. He then tells her that he doesn't blame her for being upset given the current situation. Sakura says that they need to be vigilant to which Neji agrees. He then asks for Shizune as he had made some headway in uncovering who the culprit was. Sakura tells him that she's attending to Tonton who had sprained her leg. Neji then says it's better than her arm to which Sakura agrees that she would still be able to form seals. He then asks her to take a look at his hand again to which she agrees, telling him to sit down. As he draws for a kunai to kill Sakura, she slams him to the ground. Surprised he inquires how she knew and retorts that piglets don't have hands. After being punched the transformation technique wears off and the White Zetsu clone resumes him original appearance. Sakura then interrogates the Zetsu about how he was able to get onto the compound undetected. Together with this information and a report Yamato had compiled on Zetsu, she pieces together the Zetsu's abilities and then leaves the clone in the hands of two shinobi to inform headquarters of this latest information. Powers & Abilities Sakura Haruno is a talented ninja who originally began her career with considerable textbook knowledge of Ninjutsu and an intelligent analytical mind. She always felt left behind by the incredible progress of her teammates Sasuke and Naruto. She eventually became fed up with feeling useless. After Naruto left to train under Jiraiya for two years, Sakura went to the Fifth Hokage, Tsuande, to ask for training in medical ninjutsu. She was accepted as her new pupil and was taught Tsunade's fighting techniques that greatly enhances the user's physical strength in hand-to-hand combat. She studied hard in those two years and was able to reach the rank of a Chunin class ninja. Sakura's taijutsu skills have seen tremendous growth thanks to Tsunade's training. By building up and releasing her chakra with precise timing, Sakura can easily demolish or destroy obstacle with powerful punches or kicks. An opponent struck by her full strength could suffer blunt force trauma resulting in broken bones, ruptured organs, or even death. Through repeated use, Sakura no longer needs to put any conscious effort into using this strength, and so can use it instantly. Her strength, coupled with her medical expertise and the beauty she gained over the time skip, had caused many to see Sakura as a younger version of Tsunade, or even someone who could even surpass Tsunade. She was also able to use this new-found strength to lift a boulder nearly twice her size, throw the Lion-Headed Kannon with enough force and speed that it caught Sasori by surprise, and was also able to stop an airborne Sasori from reaching his target, later smashing his body to pieces. During her battle with Sasori, Sakura's strength was enough to knock away the giant constructs created by the Iron Sand Gathering Assault technique. Sakura's strength was great enough to completely immobilize a transformed White Zetsu Army clone, which are extremely durable, with just one blow. While under the influence of the Yin Seal, Sakura's strength dramatically increases, possibly surpassing even Tsunade's own monstrous strength, earning high praise from Hashirama Senju himself. During the Fourth Great Shinobi War, she destroys dozens of Ten-Tails Mini Clones with ease, while completely obliterating the battlefield surrounding them, with a single punch. Her speed also increased to the point she could follow a target that she punched with ease without being outrun. Another key component of Sakura's fighting style is her evasive skill. As a field medic, she cannot afford to be gravely injured or killed on the battle field, as drilled into her by Tsunade when she trained her. Sakura would attempt to read an opponent's fighting style in order to find the dominant hand/foot or anything that the enemy was using. With that, she could increase her evasive skill to impressive levels. Sakura was proficient enough in this that she could figure out Sasori's finger movements and predict the movements of his puppets. Sakura's skill in evasion is so great that she can completely evade a barrage of poisoned senbon, a multitude of puppet arms, and defeat one-hundred puppets without even being scratched.

what is one role of the element phosphorus?

Phosphorus is an essential mineral primarily used for growth and repair of body cells and tissues. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, all body cells contain phosphorus, with 85 percent found in bones and teeth. There, together with calcium, phosphorus provides structure and strength.

What Is the Main Function of Phosphorus in the Body?

"Written by Sue Roberts, M. P. H., R. D.; Updated April 03, 2018Related Articles Role of Calcium in the Body's Nutrition What Is the Purpose of Potassium in the Human Body? What Are the Roles of Sodium? The Actions of Sodium in the Human Body

Phosphorus is also required for a variety of biochemical processes including energy production and p H regulati

on. Energy Production Phosphorus is commonly found in the body as phosphate. Phosphates play an important role in energy production as components of ATP, or adenosine triphosphate. ATP is readily used to fuel your body's many functions.

Structurally, ATP consists of adenosine, an organic compound, and three phosphate molecules. When bonding between one phosphate and adenosine is severed, energy is released which then fires cellular activity. According to the authors of ""Nutrition,"" energy released from ATP is used quickly, so your body contains only a small amount at any one time. Protein Synthesis Phosphorus is a component of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, and ribonucleic acid, or RNA, long molecules which carry genetic information used to make proteins. Synthesis begins in the cell nucleus, where a portion of DNA serves as a template for RNA manufacture. RNA then carries specific coding instructions for building needed body proteins to the ribosomes, where proteins are assembled from amino acids. Without sufficient phosphorus, body protein manufacture is impaired, which eventually affects overall health. Secondary Functions Phosphorus also acts as a buffer, neutralizing acids to maintain normal p H in the blood. Many enzymes and hormones also contain phosphorus as a structural component. Hemoglobin, the important oxygen-carrying protein in the bloodstream, also depends upon phosphorus contained in its structure for proper function. Food Sources and Requirements Good food sources of phosphorus include protein foods, such as meat, fish, eggs, milk, nuts and legumes, and also cereals and grains. Carbonated beverages supply significant amounts of phosphorus in the diet, too. Gordon Wardlaw and Anne Smith, in their book “Contemporary Nutrition,” report that between 20 and 30 percent of dietary phosphorus comes from food additives contained in processed foods. The Institute of Medicine’s Recommended Dietary Allowance for adults is 700 milligrams of phosphorus per day. The Tolerable Upper Intake Limit, or UL, also set by the Institute of Medicine, is 4 grams per day. Intakes above this are considered unsafe. Precautions Because phosphorus is found in a wide variety of foods, deficiencies are rare, except in diseases that affect absorption, such as diabetes or Crohn’s disease. In children, phosphorus deficiency affects normal bone and teeth development. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, many individuals consume over twice as much phosphorus as they do calcium. Equal amounts of both minerals are necessary to avoid calcium depletion from bones. As your intake of phosphorus increases, so should your intake of calcium in order to prevent bone abnormalities.

what is siam

SIAM is an evolution of how to apply a framework for integrated service management across multiple service providers. It has developed as organizations have moved away from outsourced contracts with a single supplier to an environment with multiple service providers.

What is SIAM

Many organizations now source their IT services from multiple service providers. This gives them access to competitively priced, high quality services that allow them to focus on their core business. However, many organizations also struggle to get value from their service providers because they don’t have the right contracts in place, or don’t manage their supply chain effectively. Service integration and management (SIAM) a management methodology that can be applied in an environment that includes services sourced from a number of service providers. SIAM provides governance, management, integration, assurance, and coordination to ensure that the customer organization gets maximum value from its service providers. It introduces the concept of a ‘service integration’ layer between the customer and the service providers, making sure the whole supply chain is focused on business value and delivering what the customer expects.

SIAM has evolved from the challenges associated with these more complex operating models. SIAM supports cross-functional, cross-process, and cross-provider integration. It creates an environment where all parties: Know their role, responsibilities and context in the ecosystem Are empowered to deliver Are held accountable for the outcomes they are required to deliver The SIAM methodology encompasses: Practices Processes Functions Roles Structural elements There are three layers in the SIAM ecosystem: Customer organization (including retained capabilities)Service integrator Service provider (s)VIEW SIAM PRODUCTS VIEW SIAM NEWS


meaning of maturity for loan

The maturity date represents the due date of the final installment of principal on a loan. You repay a mortgage loan in regular monthly installments; thus the payment of principal is spread over the entire term of the loan. However, the monthly interest amount gradually falls and the principal gradually rises as the mortgage ages.

What Is a Loan Maturity Date for a Mortgage?

On the mortgage maturity date, the loan term is complete. More Articles1. What Does It Mean When a Mortgage Matures?2. How to Manually Calculate a Mortgage3. What Is Maturity for a Note Payable? If you've borrowed money from a bank or other company to buy a house, then you've taken out a mortgage. A mortgage is a loan secured by property: the house which you've purchased and now own. As long as you keep up the monthly payments, the loan is current. A mortgage is a fixed-term loan; it can run 10, 15, 20 or (most commonly) 30 years. The end of that term is known as the maturity date. Payment in Full

By the final year of the loan, a high proportion of the payments that you're making go toward principal. Monthly Payments Monthly due dates reflect the payment of interest charged on the outstanding principal in the previous month. When you make a payment in September, for example, you're covering the interest due for the month of August. Principal is gradually paid down according to an amortization schedule, which figures the monthly amount due over a period of 30 years or whatever the term of the loan. On the maturity date, the loan reaches its full term and all outstanding principal is due and payable. As a result, ff you've fallen behind on your payments, the final payment due at maturity will be higher than the previous monthly payments; if you are unable to meet that payment, you must renew or refinance the mortgage. Adjustable Interest Rates Most mortgages carry fixed interest rates. If you've bought a house with an adjustable rate mortgage, then your monthly payments will rise if the interest rate adjusts upward. This does not change the amount of principal or the maturity date. Your monthly payment can also change with a rise in property taxes or insurance, if these payments go into an escrow account handled by the mortgage servicing company. Prepayment Your mortgage may permit prepayment of principal. You can send extra money towards principal, either regularly or once a year, and thus pay down the mortgage before its maturity date. This would result in less total interest paid over the life of the loan. Not all mortgages permit prepayment, however, and those that do may charge a fee. State Laws and Mortgages The laws of the state where you live govern mortgage loans. Some states set a statute of limitations on foreclosure actions. In Minnesota, for example, the law sets a limit of 15 years on foreclosures after the stated maturity date. If a mortgage loan has been extended or renewed, a borrower could theoretically continue making payments for 15 years after the original maturity date and then enjoy immunity from foreclosure on the property.
