social security disability benefits and va benefits

ce? Larry Kotlikoff: I’ve asked our Social Security Technical Adviser, Jerry Lutz, to weigh in. Jerry Lutz: First, sincere thanks for your service. You can still apply for Social Security disability benefits, but you will need to establish that your disability began within five years after you stopped working. Social Security should be able to access your V. A. medical records (with your permission), so there should be evidence available in your case.

Do I qualify for both V.A. benefits and Social Security disability benefits?

A. benefits. When I inquired with Social Security back then, I was told I didn’t qualify due to my V. A. benefits. I accepted the response. I figured they should know. I felt bad about even asking, but I inquired, because I had paid in since I was 16. Yesterday, my nephew told me that that wasn’t true. So I called today, and they said I didn’t qualify, because I haven’t worked in the last five years. (Of course I haven’t — I am disabled.) I don’t know if the law has changed since 1994, but by today’s laws, I would have qualified since I had worked back then. This just doesn’t seem fair. Can you help or perhaps provide advi

Remember, though, that Social Security’s definition of disability is different from the V. A., so there is no guarantee that you will be approved. If your claim is disallowed, don’t hesitate to file an appeal. Many disability cases are approved during the appeals process, and you can usually find an attorney who will represent you on a contingency basis. If you are approved, Social Security normally pays a maximum of 12 months of back pay on disability benefits. However, if you can establish that they misinformed you at the time of your first contact, it’s possible that they could pay you all of the retroactive benefits to which you would have been entitled. Linda – North Canton, Ohio: My husband started collecting his Social Security at age 63. He passed away when he was 67. I continued to collect his Social Security. I am now going to turn 65 in June. Am I able to collect both benefits or just his, which is higher? I’m asking, because I received a letter from Social Security today saying that I was going to start collecting mine, but it didn’t mention what I was collecting from my late husband. Larry Kotlikoff: I’m sorry for your loss. I presume you started to collect your widows benefit at age 60 or thereabouts. You are under no compulsion to take your retirement benefit before age 70, when it starts at its highest value. If you take it now, you may get nothing more in total benefits and forego the ability to receive much larger total benefits from age 70 on. Please read my article in which Social Security whistleblower, John Mc Adams, explains that Social Security has — whatever the reason — deprived widows of the ability to collect larger checks in future years by having them file for their own retirement benefit at too young an age. It sounds like you might be in this situation. I find it unlikely that Social Security would automatically file for your retirement benefit without your requesting they do so, but someone at Social Security may have talked you into this in some manner. GOT SOCIAL SECURITY QUESTIONS? Pose Your Questions to Larry Here You cannot, in fact, receive both your retirement and your widow’s benefit at the same time. You’ll just receive the larger of the two benefits. But if your widow’s benefit is larger, Social Security will describe what it gives you as the sum of your retirement benefit plus your excess widow’s benefit. Your excess widow’s benefit is the difference, if positive, between your widow’s benefit and your retirement benefit. If you take your retirement benefit early, it will be reduced permanently (assuming you don’t suspend it between full retirement age and 70.) And if it’s less than the widow’s benefit, your check won’t go up. By not filing for your retirement benefit before age 70, you will let it grow potentially to the point that it exceeds or far exceeds your widow’s benefit. The bottom line is 1) Go to your local Social Security office and show them the John Mc Adams column ; 2) Tell them in writing (and have them sign an acknowledging receipt of your written communication) that you don’t want to take your retirement benefit at 65 if, in fact, doing so provides you nothing more or little more and keeps you from waiting until 70 to collect a much larger check; and 3) Restrict the conversation to your total check. Just ask them what will happen to your total check if you do one thing versus the other. Anonymous: I am 50 years old. I was married the first time for 13 years. We got divorced, and I remarried and was married for 19 years. I would like to collect my first husband’s benefits when I turn 60, because his benefit is much higher. Will I be able to do that? Larry Kotlikoff: If your first husband (presumably the higher earner) passed away, you can collect a reduced divorcee widows benefit starting at 60 (and at 50 if you are disabled and meet Social Security’s requirements) and wait until 70 to collect your own retirement benefit. This may or may not be the right thing to do depending on: a) your own work record compared with that of your first ex’s; b) whether your ex took his retirement benefit early; and c) your maximum age of life. Expert commercial software can help you decide whether to take your own retirement benefit or your divorcee widows benefit first. If your first ex is still alive, you can collect a divorcee spousal benefit on his work record as early as age 62. But if you do qualify to collect a divorcee spousal benefit (because he’s over 62), you’ll be forced, due to Social Security’s deeming rules, to take you own retirement benefit early, and your divorcee spousal benefit will actually be what they call your excess divorcee spousal benefit. This is the multiplication of a) the difference between half your ex’s full retirement benefit and 100 percent of your full retirement benefit and b) a reduction factor due to the fact that you are taking your excess divorcee spousal benefit before full retirement age. This excess divorcee spousal benefit could be negative, in which case it is set to zero. That is, by trying to receive a divorcee spousal benefit early (before full retirement age), you can end up with a permanently reduce retirement benefit and nothing else!You can flip from collecting or trying to collect on one ex-spouse’s work record to collecting or trying on the other ex-spouse’s work record and then flip back again. For example, if your first ex is alive and the higher earner of the two, and you had, let’s assume, no work record of your own, you could collect a reduced divorcee spousal benefit on him (if he’s over 62) when you reach 62. Then, if the second ex dies after you’ve reached full retirement age, you could collect an unreduced divorcee widow’s benefit on the second ex if it exceed the reduced divorcee spousal benefit based on the first ex’s work record. Finally, when the first ex dies, you can collect a non-reduced divorcee widow’s benefit based on that first ex’s work record. This could work, because divorcee widows benefit formula is more generous than the divorce spousal benefit formula. To sum up, you can’t collect more than one benefit at a time. But depending on what benefit you can collect from them at the time you flip, you can flip from collecting on one ex to the other ex and then to the first ex again. Kathryn – Garden City, Mich.: I am five years older than my husband. I am also the higher wage earner. I am currently 65, and he is 60. I was planning on quitting work and pulling Social Security benefits at age 66, and my husband would do so at 62, but after hearing about spousal benefits, I was wondering how we can maximize our benefits. I don’t want to work past age 66, but he wouldn’t mind working part-time from age 62 to 66. Thanks for any help you can provide. Larry Kotlikoff: Your best move is likely to wait until 70 to collect your highest possible retirement benefit, have your husband collect just his spousal benefit starting at full retirement age and then have him collect his own retirement benefit at 70. Yes, you could have him take his retirement benefit at 62, which will let you collect half of his full retirement benefit starting at 67. Under this Start-Stop-Start strategy, you’d collect your own retirement benefit at 70. And your husband would suspend his retirement benefit at full retirement age and restart it at age 70. This suspension would raise his reduced retirement benefit by 32 percent. This second strategy is, however, likely to produce lower benefits than the first. But only expert commercial software that accounts for your maximum (not your expected) ages of life can say for sure. Your expected age of life isn’t relevant since you can’t count on dying on time. Gerald – Kodak, Tenn.: How can I get proof from Social Security that they applied the extra earnings credit as listed in SSA Pub No. 05-100017 for my military service 1954 to 1979 to my Social Security payment each month? I have called, and they said it was applied, but they can’t send me proof. What is my next step? I figured $12,000 ($300 a quarter for 10 years) should have been added to my income, but I can’t see it anywhere. You reply is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Larry Kotlikoff: If you can get your military pay records, it should be an easy matter to determine from your Social Security earnings record whether you are being credited for your military service for which I sincerely thank you. If you can come up with those two sets of records, give a shout. I’ll have someone in my software company check things out. Frank – Freeland, Wash.: My wife will be 62 this year, and I will be 64. She was the lower earner, and her own retirement benefit, even at age 70, would still be less than her spousal benefit based on my earnings. Our plan was for her to take her reduced retirement this year at age 62 and collect four years of that benefit. Then, when she is 66 and I am 68, I would file and suspend so she could take her full spousal benefit, and then I would take my full retirement benefit at age 70. However, I’ve read elsewhere: If you claim retirement or dependents benefits at any time before you reach full retirement age, that early claim permanently reduces those benefits by a small percentage each month (up to full retirement age). Many people don’t realize, though, that claiming either early retirement or early dependents benefits also permanently reduces that other benefit for you. You cannot claim your own early retirement benefits and then switch to full dependents benefits later based on your spouse’s earnings record, and you cannot claim early dependents benefits and then later switch to full retirement benefits on your own record. As soon as you claim a Social Security benefit early, the other one is also reduced by the same percentage. This seems to conflict with item 34 in your “34 Social Security Secrets You Need to Know Now” article: If you take your retirement benefit early and your spouse takes his/her retirement benefit any time that is a month or more after you take your retirement benefit, you will NOT be deemed, at that point (when your spouse starts collecting his/her retirement benefit) to be applying for a spousal benefit. In other words, you can, in this situation, wait until your full retirement age to start collecting your unreduced excess spousal benefit. Am I misinterpreting one of these? It makes a big difference in whether our plan makes sense. Thanks!Larry Kotlikoff: The first reference at nolo.com, which is about deeming (being forced to collect two benefits at once and then getting only the larger of the two), is, in part, misleading, incomplete and incorrect. I won’t take the time to fully explore the depth of its error. I’ll just focus on your case. Your wife can file now. Her check will equal her own full retirement benefit reduced by 25 percent. She would be deemed to be also filing to collect a spousal benefit if you had already filed for your retirement benefit or filed for it at the same time as she filed for hers. In your case, since you are waiting until 68 to file for your retirement benefit (the fact that you will suspend it isn’t relevant to this issue), your wife won’t be deemed to be taking her spousal benefit at 62. When she reaches 66 and files, according to your plan, for her spousal benefit, her total check will equal the sum of A and B. A is her reduced retirement benefit and B is her unreduced excess spousal benefit (because she doesn’t get it before full retirement age). Her excess spousal benefit will be the difference between half of your full retirement benefit and 100 percent of her full retirement benefit. This said, the real question is whether this is the best strategy. Her total check from age 66 on will be under what you have in mind than if she were to wait until 66 and file for her full spousal benefit, which will equal half of your full retirement benefit. If you do the math, her full spousal benefit from age 66 on equals her reduced retirement benefit plus her full (unreduced) excess spousal benefit. What’s optimal here in terms of maximizing your combined lifetime Social Security benefits depends on both your wife’s and your maximum age of life and what equally sure return you can get by investing in the market. If you run highly-expert commercial software, you can quickly see what you may be giving up in terms of lifetime benefits based on your proposed strategy.

average time for hair to grow

Each strand of hair on the human body is at its own stage of development. Once the cycle is complete, it restarts and a new strand of hair begins to form. The rate or speed of hair growth is about 1.25 centimetres or 0.5 inches per month, or about 15 centimetres or 6 inches per year.

Human hair growth

"This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (May 2012) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)The growth of human hair occurs everywhere on the body except for the soles of the feet, the lips, palms of the hands, some external genital areas, the navel, scar tissue, and, apart from eyelashes, the eyelids. [ citation needed] Like skin, hair is a stratified squamous keratinized epithelium made of multi-layered flat cells whose rope-like filaments provide structure and strength to the hair shaft.

Hair follows a specific growth cycle with three distinct and concurrent phases: anagen, catagen, and telogen phases. Each phase has specific characteristics that determine the length of the hair. All three phases occur simultaneously; one strand of hair may be in the anagen phase, while another is in the telogen phase.

The body has different types of hair, including vellus hair and androgenic hair, each with its own type of cellular construction. The different construction gives the hair unique characteristics, serving specific purposes, mainly warmth and protection. Most humans develop the longest thickest hair on their scalps and (mostly observed in males) faces. This hair will usually grow to several feet before terminating, but many humans develop much longer hair. Contents [ hide ]1 Growth cycle1.1 Anagen phase1.2 Catagen phase1.3 Telogen phase2 Growth inhibitors and disorders2.1 Chemotherapy2.2 Alopecia-related syndromes2.3 Radiation therapy to the head2.4 UV-B3 Hair-growth stimulants4 See also5 References Growth cycle [ edit]Hair-follicle cycling Hair grows at different speeds and different lengths. Its composition causes different colors and textures, which influence how long the hair strands grow. Marianne Ernst, a German ""Long hair model"". The three stages of hair growth are the anagen, catagen, and telogen phases.

Anagen phase [ edit]The anagen phase is known as the growth phase. This is the phase where the hair physically grows approximately 1 cm per month. [1] It begins in the papilla and can last from two to six years. [2] [3] The span at which the hair remains in this stage of growth is determined by genetics. The longer the hair stays in the anagen phase, the longer it will grow. During this phase, the cells in the papilla divide to produce new hair fibers [ contradictory], and the follicle buries itself into the dermal layer of the skin to nourish the strand. About 85% - 90% of the hairs on one's head are in the anagen phase at any given time Catagen phase [ edit]The catagen phase, also known as the transitional phase, allows the follicle to, in a sense, renew itself. During this time, which lasts about two weeks, the hair follicle shrinks due to disintegration and the papilla detaches and ""rests,"" cutting the hair strand off from its nourishing blood supply. Signals sent out by the body (that only selectively affect 1 percent of all hair of one's body at any given time) determine when the anagen phase ends and the catagen phase begins. The first sign of catagen is the cessation of melanin production in the hair bulb and apoptosis of follicular melanocytes. [4] Ultimately, the follicle is 1/6 its original length, causing the hair shaft to be pushed upward. While hair is not growing during this phase, the length of the terminal fibers increase when the follicle pushes them upward. Telogen phase [ edit]During the telogen or resting phase (also known as shedding phase) the follicle remains dormant for one to four months. Ten to fifteen percent of the hairs on one's head are in this phase of growth at any given time. In this phase the epidermal cells lining the follicle channel continue to grow as normal and may accumulate around the base of the hair, temporarily anchoring it in place and preserving the hair for its natural purpose without taxing the body's resources needed during the growth phase. At some point, the follicle will begin to grow again, softening the anchor point of the shaft initially. The hair base will break free from the root and the hair will be shed. Within two weeks the new hair shaft will begin to emerge once the telogen phase is complete. The process results in normal hair loss known as shedding. Growth inhibitors and disorders [ edit]In most people, scalp hair growth will halt due to follicle devitalization after reaching a length of generally two or three feet. Exceptions to this rule can be observed in individuals with hair development abnormalities, which may cause an unusual length of hair growth. Chemotherapy [ edit]Most chemotherapy drugs work by attacking fast- replicating cells. Rapid cell replication is one of the hallmarks of cancer; however, hair follicle cells also grow and divide quickly. Consequently, the chemotherapy drugs usually inhibit hair growth. The dose and type of medicine determine the severity of hair loss, but once the chemotherapy has ended, new hair growth may begin after three to 10 weeks. Alopecia-related syndromes [ edit]Main article: Baldness Alopecia is a hair loss disease that can occur in anyone at any stage of life. Specifically Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease that causes hair to spontaneously fall out. It is mainly characterized by bald patches on the scalp or other parts of the body, and can ultimately cause baldness across the entire body. This disease interferes with the hair growth cycle by causing a follicle to prematurely leave the anagen, or active growth, phase and enter the resting, or telogen phase. The hair growth in the affected follicles is lessened or stopped completely. Traction alopecia is caused by adding too much strain on the hair on one's head. Tight ponytails and other styles that require added tension to the hair are often what cause this disease. It can also occur on the face in areas where the hair is often styled. Plucking or waxing one's eyebrows frequently, for example, can yield suppressed hair growth in the area. On the scalp, the hair is usually known to be lost around the hair line, leaving the densest amount of hair at the crown. Small vellus hair will often replace the hair that is lost. Radiation therapy to the head [ edit]Human hair follicles are very sensitive to the effects of radiation therapy administered to the head, most commonly used to treat cancerous growths within the brain. Hair shedding may start as soon as two weeks after the first dose of radiation and will continue for a couple of weeks. Hair follicles typically enter the resting telogen phase and regrowth should commence 2.5 to 3 months after the hair begins to shed. Regrowth may be sparser after treatment. UV-B [ edit]UV levels of either 20 or 50 m J cm −2 in the UV-B range have been shown to inhibit hair growth, reduce hair melanin and damage hair follicles.

Background

"Republican Party of Wyoming Basic facts Location: Cheyenne, Wyo. Type: Political party Affiliation: Republican Top official: Matt Micheli, Chair Website: Official webs

According to the Republican Party of Wyoming's (WRP) website, the group ""is fighting for a freer, stronger, more prosperous state and country where everyone can achieve the American Dream."" The party is made up of 23 county affiliates, each led by its own chair. [1] [2]As of June 2017, Republicans occupied the governor's office and held majorities in the state House and the state Senate, making Wyoming a Republican state government trifecta . Platform See also: Republican National Committee The Republican Party of Wyoming follows the platform of the Republican National Committee. Click here to view the full platform. Rules and bylaws Candidate ballot access Find detailed information on ballot access requirements in all 50 states and Washington, D. C. See also: Rules of the Wyoming Republican Party The state party is governed by a set of rules and bylaws. Typically, these give structure to the different levels of organization—local, county, and state committees—and establish protocol for electing committee members. The bylaws also typically give details on the party's process for nominating and sending delegates to the national party convention during presidential elections. The following is a selection of the Wyoming Republican Party's rules. This selection focuses on the structure and governance of the party: [3]The Republican Central Committee of each County shall consist of the properly elected or appointed Republican Precinct Committeemen and Committeewomen in a County who shall hold office for a term of two (2) years or until their successors have been properly elected or appointed. Each precinct shall elect one (1) Committeeman and one (1) Committeewoman for each two hundred fifty (250) votes or major fraction thereof cast for the Republican candidate for U. S. Representative in the last general election, but provided no precinct shall be entitled to less than one (1) Precinct Committeeman and one (1) Precinct Committeewoman. (III.1.1)A meeting of the Republican State Central Committee shall be held between April 1st and May 15th in odd numbered years for the purpose of organizing and electing the State Chairman, State Vice Chairman, and State Secretary. (V.2.1)Nominations for the offices of State Chairman, State Vice Chairman and State Secretary shall not require a second. After nominations are closed, candidates for the offices of State Chairman, State Vice Chairman and State Secretary may address the State Central Committee in the order in which they were nominated for their respective offices. (V.3.2)Convention The 2016 state convention for the Wyoming Republican Party, when the party selected its delegates for the Republican National Convention, took place from April 14 to 16, 2016. [4]National convention delegate allocation, 2016See also: 2016 presidential nominations: calendar and delegate rules Hover over the terms below to display definitions. Ballot access laws Primary election Caucus Delegate A political party formally nominates its presidential candidate at a national nominating convention. At this convention, state delegates select the party's nominee. Prior to the nominating convention, the states conduct presidential preference primaries or caucuses. Generally speaking, only state-recognized parties—such as the Democratic Party and the Republican Party —conduct primaries and caucuses. These elections measure voter preference for the various candidates and help determine which delegates will be sent to the national nominating convention. [5] [6] [7]In 2016, 35 U. S. jurisdictions (including states and territories) held a presidential preference primary to allocate convention delegates to both parties’ presidential candidates. In 13 jurisdictions, both parties held caucuses where party members gathered in precinct or county meetings to vote for delegates to a state convention that ultimately selected national convention delegates. Eight jurisdictions utilized a divided process in which one party held a primary to allocate delegates and the other conducted a caucus or convention. [9] [10]The Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee, the governing bodies of the nation's two major parties, establish their own guidelines for the presidential nomination process. State-level affiliates of the parties also have some say in determining rules and provisions in their own states. Individuals interested in learning more about the nomination process should contact the political parties themselves for full details. Wyoming had 29 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention: 23 at-large delegates, three congressional district delegates, and three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates). Wyoming's RNC delegates were not bound to support the winner of the state's caucuses. All other delegates were bound to support the preferred presidential candidates listed on their intent-to-run forms unless they were elected as an uncommitted delegate. Wyoming did not use a presidential preference poll to allocate and bind delegates in 2016. Leadership As of June 2017, the executive director of the Wyoming Republican Party was Tom Wiblemo. [11]The website for the Wyoming Republican Party lists the following individuals as the party's state leadership as of June 2017: [12]Matt Micheli, Chair Chris Smith, Vice chair Charles Curley, Secretary Marti Halverson, National committeewoman Richard George, National committeeman Doug Chamberlain, Treasurer Mitch Edwards, Legal counsel State political party revenue See also: State political party revenue and State political party revenue per capita The Democratic Party and the Republican Party maintain state affiliates in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and select U.

why do we need a written constitution

Written Constitution means a formal document which defines constitutional settlement nature. There are the rules that preside over the rights of people or citizens and over the political systems. There were created to put limits to the federal government powers.

Why Was the Constitution Written?

Why Was the Constitution Written? September 9, 2010 , maureen , Leave a comment Why Was the Constitution Written?

It is important for a certain country to have a written constitution since without one, you will essentially be much unorganized and that people will never know if something that they can do or have is legal. If there is no written constitution then technically, there are also no laws. And, if there are no law, it can be very hard for people to charge jurisdictions to others for the wrong and worst things that they have done or they are about to do. This is certainly the reason why written constitution was created in most countries across the globe. Constitution sets boundaries of a country’s morals, therefore if the constitution didn’t say that someone couldn’t live in your properties then they would not put even the tip of their toe on your property because they will probably face the challenges of doing so. Most countries across the globe today are following a written constitution and it is obviously advantageous to most people regardless of their status. In this case, you don’t have to worry too much for what others can do to you and for the things that you can do especially if you are carried away with your emotions. Without written constitution, people can freely do almost everything that they prefer; even killing others if it is what satisfies them. It is because there are no laws that they have to face. There are no laws that can keep them from doing such things and because there is nothing that they can face after doing it unlike if there are written constitution where everything that they will do against the law is equal to a punishment.

was killed in the philippines, but his ships were the first to circumnavigate the globe

er. Vote for this answer Ferdinand Magellan and a filipino servant of his, and not the crew of his ship, were the first two people to circumnavigate the world. Magellan went to the Philipines and returned to Europe with the filipino servant (I don't know his or her name). Many years later, they set sail around the world in a westerly direction. When they reached the Philipines, Magellan and the servant had completed their circumnavigation of the globe. Magellan was killed at that point, but he had already done the deed! The crew went on to return to Portugal, completing their circumnavigation of the globe.

list of edible mushrooms

Velvety and trumpet-shaped, oyster mushrooms have delicate brown, gray, or reddish caps on gray-white stems. They have a peppery flavor that becomes very mild when cooked. Young, small specimens are considered the best.

Common Types of Mushrooms

Michael Rosenfeld/Getty Images White mushrooms may already be a staple of your diet, but there is a wide array of edible fungi available at your grocery store. Brush up on the six most common types and learn how to prepare mushrooms (to wash or not to wash? ), and you’ll be ready to use them in a variety of recipes.1 of 6 Gerald & Buff Corsi/Getty Images Chanterelle Prized for a fruity aroma, chanterelles range from yellow, orange, and brown to pale white or black. The funnel-shaped caps have wrinkles instead of gills on the underside, which should be washed quickly but carefully before using. Advertisement2 of 6 Rosemary Calvert/Getty Images White The most common type, white mushrooms range in size from tiny—called button, which are harvested when young and have the mildest flavor—to jumbo, which can be stuffed and baked. Creamy white to pale tan, they have a firm texture and a delicate flavor.3 of 6 Lew Robertson/Getty Images Oyster

Advertisement4 of 6 Lew Robertson/Getty Images Portobello Up to 6 inches across, portobellos have a big, steak-like taste and texture; in fact, the huge, umbrella-like caps are often eaten as vegetarian burger substitutes. Remove the woody stems before eating. Advertisement5 of 6 James Baigrie/Getty Images Shiitake With meaty tan to dark-brown umbrella-like caps, shiitakes have a distinctively smoky flavor and taste best when cooked. Available fresh or dried, they work well in stir-fries as the flavor doesn’t fade next to ginger and garlic. Although the stems are too tough to eat and should be removed from the heads before cooking, you can use them to flavor stocks and sauces before discarding. Advertisement6 of 6 Christina Peters/Getty Images Cremini Similar to white mushrooms but with a firmer texture and deeper flavor, creminis are actually immature portobellos. The button-like caps range from pale tan to rich brown. The stems are edible.

what is rumination syndrome

9821Rumination Syndrome Rumination syndrome, also called Merycism, is a type of eating disorder not otherwise specified that causes the regurgitation of food. Even though it is not identified as a specific eating disorder in the DSM-IV, certain parameters have been outlined for diagnosing the disorder.

Rumination Syndrome

Put addiction behind you and reclaim your life Call our 24/7 confidential hotline now 800-773-

If you have rumination syndrome, you may vomit immediately or shortly after eating. The vomiting occurs with ease and without any of the normal discomfort that is associated with vomiting such as gagging or nausea. Furthermore, the regurgitated food does not have the bile taste normally associated with regurgitation. After regurgitation, you may re-chew the regurgitated food or may dispose of it. Regurgitation after eating must occur for a minimum of two months for it to be considered an eating disorder. When you have rumination syndrome, the regurgitation occurs without intention and you have difficulty controlling the regurgitation. In this section... Characteristics of Rumination Syndrome What Causes Rumination Syndrome? Prevalence of Rumination Syndrome Treatment for Rumination Syndrome800-598-5053Caring specialists are available right now to help you find a treatment solution that’s right for you. Don’t wait... CALL NOW!Characteristics of Rumination Syndrome Rumination syndrome is most common among young children. The primary sign of rumination syndrome is regurgitation following meals. The regurgitation can vary greatly as to how long after eating it occurs and how much is regurgitated. You may regurgitate small amounts immediately after eating or you may regurgitate large amounts and continue the regurgitation for hours after consuming the food. After regurgitation, you may re-chew the regurgitated food or may dispose of it by spitting it out. If you have rumination syndrome, your regurgitation of food occurs without any effort. Your symptoms may intensify after consuming a large quantity of food or drink. In addition, you may experience more severe symptoms if you rapidly consume your food. Rumination syndrome can persist even if you only consume small amounts of food. Furthermore, it is not influenced by how well you chew your food before swallowing. As a result of the regurgitation, rumination syndrome can produce symptoms like weight loss, infrequent bowel movements, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, nutritional deficiencies and/or tooth decay and erosion. What Causes Rumination Syndrome? The exact cause of rumination syndrome is unknown at this time. Some experts believe that the regurgitation in this disorder begins as a voluntary act (such as with bulimia nervosa) and then turns into an involuntary act. However, there are numerous cases of rumination syndrome that dispute this belief. Studies show this disorder can occur in people with no history of regurgitation. Rumination syndrome may be caused by anatomical and structural defects. Deceased people with rumination syndrome where found to have antrum cardiacum, a condition that occurs when the lower part of your stomach is dilated. Prevalence of Rumination Syndrome It is difficult to obtain statistical information concerning the prevalence of rumination syndrome for two main reasons. Firstly, rumination syndrome in adults is often not brought to the attention of health professionals because people afflicted are ashamed about their habits. Secondly, when rumination syndrome is brought to the attention of professionals, it is often misdiagnosed as a gastrointestinal problem or bulimia. In the past, it was believed that this illness only existed in young children and mentally handicapped adults. Approximately 10% of infants and 10% of institutionalized adults may suffer from this syndrome. Although the exact prevalence rate is unclear, it is evident that this eating disorder occurs in the adult population. The average age of onset for rumination syndrome is between 10 and 20 years old. Studies show that rumination syndrome is more prevalent in men than in women though this discrepancy could be because men are more likely to seek treatment. What’s the Difference Between Rumination Disorder and Bulimia? Treatment for Rumination Syndrome Rumination syndrome is believed to be a physiological rather than psychological eating disorder. Treatments for controlling rumination syndrome are not usually effective. At this time no medications have proven successful in treating rumination syndrome. In addition, none of the standard medications for gastrointestinal disorders have shown effective for treating rumination syndrome. Some people with rumination syndrome can block regurgitation from occurring by smoking immediately after eating. If you have this syndrome, it is recommended that you adequately chew you food before swallowing, avoid certain foods, eat slowly and avoid drinking with meals. Other treatments for rumination syndrome include: behavioral therapy techniques for preventing regurgitation, breathing exercises after eating, pressing on your throat when symptoms occur and/or stress management techniques. Hospitalization may be required for severe cases of rumination syndrome. References: American Psychiatric Association. (2001). Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (4th ed.).

how long for broken shoulder to heal

Doctors or physical therapists will provide guidelines for rest and flexibility exercises. While a broken shoulder may take as long as 12 weeks to heal, according to the University of Buffalo Sports Medicine group, the advantage of this rest period is pain relief rather than additional bone stress.

What Are the Treatments for a Broken Shoulder?by NANCY CLARKE Aug. 14, 2017Patients may find the standard treatment for a broken shoulder more focused on passive remedies, such as pain relief, than on active surgical repair. That's because the majority of clavicle, or collarbone, fractures involve clean breaks that can mend on their own. According to the Cleveland Clinic, less than 20 percent of these injuries will require manipulation or surgery to set the bones in the proper position for healing. The uninjured anatomy on the affected side must be kept comfortable and fit while the shoulder heals. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Immobilization The regenerative properties of bone tissue allow rifts to mend when the area remains adequately stable. The body's natural musculoskeletal stability, however, disappears after a bone fracture. Paramedics and emergency room physicians restore that condition by immobilizing broken shoulders. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons notes that a break results in a sagging shoulder, which must be set back into alignment in order to heal. If bone fragments are not displaced, a shoulder wrap and sling may complete this treatment. If the collarbone or portions of the humerus arm bone have been shattered, medical personnel may need to manipulate the bones back into place and secure them artificially with pins or other devices. Patients will have to move the injured shoulder as little as possible but maintain mobility in the arm, elbow, wrist and hand during recovery.

Ice Packs Ice therapy, the classic athletic treatment for traumatic injury, works for any adult or child who suffers a collarbone fracture. Immediately following the injury, pain and swelling may be intense for several days. The UB Sports Medicine group recommends cold pack applications of up to 30 minutes in three-hour intervals for inflammation and pain relief. Analgesics Patients can supplement cold compresses with pain relief medication to control their discomfort. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons suggests ibuprofen, acetaminophen or aspirin for pain following a collarbone fracture. Surgery Doctors usually perform surgery soon after a bone fracture in the shoulder to reconstruct a healthy posture. Displaced bone fragments will be rearranged while the patient is anesthetized. The Cleveland Clinic notes that damaged joint or muscle tissue adjacent to the broken shoulder may also require surgical repair. Lose Weight.

how deep is a standard washing machine

The majority of washing machines are 27″ wide, though a small segment of models are 25″ wide. The average washer is approximately 25″-28″ deep. Top load washers are 36″ high, not including the back control panel, which varies depending on the model. Front-load washers range from 34″-39″ high. Some manufacturers build specialty-sized compact laundry, which typically measure 34″ high, 24″ wide and 24″ deep.

herswasher buying guide: how to buy a washer to fit your needs We’ve all grown accustomed to life with an automatic clothes washer. Whether the closet is filled with designer suits or the timeworn jeans, if the clothes aren’t kept clean, life just isn’t right. Clothes washer design has come a long way since the wringer washers of decades ago.

Today’s models run more efficiently than ever before and offer a great selection of innovative options and controls. To begin, use the following questions to help navigate through the key components of buying a washer. Find in-depth information on the topics listed below by simply clicking on any of the following links: What is the difference between top load washers and front load washers? How much capacity do I need in a clothes washer? My space is limited. How do washers vary in size? What installation considerations should be made when comparing washers? What wash cycles are available and how do they differ? What design & color options are available? How does steam affect washing performance? What are some new and unique features available on today’s washers? How can I further protect my investment? What is the difference between top load washers & front load washers? If you haven’t shopped for a clothes washer in a while, you’ll notice a lot more variety than in years past. Today’s market offers a plethora of options including front load washers, conventional top load washers and high efficiency top load washers. Conventional Top Load Clothes Washers Conventional top load laundry has operated in the same way for many years. In a conventional top load wash, clothes are loaded from the top of the machine into the wash basket. After detergent is added – usually right on top of the clothing – and the cycle started, the washer fills with water. The agitator is used to push the clothes down to the bottom of the basket, where the agitator fins beat the clothes clean. Clothes rise back to the top and are driven down again in a continuous pattern. Conventional top load washers provide easier access for those who have difficulty bending low and wash times are noticeably quicker. They also allow for the flexibility of throwing in “last-minute items”. In contrast, once a cycle is started on a front load machine, the door will remain locked shut until the cycle is complete. Front Load Clothes Washers Front load laundry operates with a completely different wash system.

Clothes are loaded through the front of the machine and the door locks. A separate compartment drawer (located on the upper front corner of the washer) is used to hold detergent and other additives. Water and detergent mix together in a reservoir, forming a lathery concentration.

As the washer tumbles, the wash basket’s internal fins cradle the sudsy water, allowing gravity to pull it through the fiber of the clothes – forcing out dirt and soils. Front load washers out-perform conventional top load washers in clean-ability and energy efficiency. The front load wash system is gentler on clothes and uses 1/2 the amount of water than that of conventional models. Spin speeds on front load washers range from 50-80% faster than conventional top load spins – which results in faster dry times – saving on time and energy. A household doing 12 loads per week and paying the national average for water, sewer, and electric bills will save about $150 per year by switching from a top load washer to a front load washer. High Efficiency Top Load Clothes Washers For those who prefer the performance of a front load washer and the top load design, high-efficiency top load washers are a perfect blend. High efficiency top load washers offer the same capacity, performance and efficiency standards of front load washers. A high efficiency top load is ideal for those with narrow laundry rooms or specific plumbing constraints. A top load washer can be easily installed on either side of the dryer, whereas fixed door hinges on front load machines make for less install flexibility. Top load design also eliminates the need for low bending, which is required with a front load machine unless a pedestal is purchased (generally at additional cost). return to top How much capacity do I need in a clothes washer? Ultimately, the right washer capacity is determined by each customers’ set of needs and expectations. Never has a manufacturer marketed its washer capacity as being “extra small”. However, many superlatives such as “super”, “super plus” and “extra large” can be difficult to compare.

Most conventional top load washers range between 3.2 and 3.5 cubic feet. For the majority of customers replacing a washer more than 7 years old, this represents an upgrade from the past, when washer capacities ranged from 2.7 to 3.2 cubic feet.

Some specialty-sized washers (such as apartment or compact) have smaller capacities. Front-load washer capacity is determined by an IEC (International Electrotechnicial Commission) rating. In essence, the IEC rating indicates the overall capacity that a top load washer would need to have to be comprable in size. Since front-load washers can be loaded more tightly, they can handle larger loads with a smaller wash basket.

Compact front load washers range from 2.0 to 2.5 cubic feet, and most high efficiency washers range from 3.1 cu. ft. (IEC) up to 4.7 cu. ft. (IEC) – which represents a significant upgrade from conventional top load washers. As a rule of thumb, to accomodate a king-sized comforter, a washer capacity of 3.8 cu. ft.

(IEC) or greater is required. For a queen-sized comforter, approximately 3.5 cu. ft. (IEC) or more is needed. return to top My space is limited. How do washers vary in size?

These units are generally installed beneath countertops or in a small closet. Laundry pedestals can raise front-load washers and dryers an additional 7-15″ higher for easier access. Pedestals can also serve as additional storage space. return to top What installation considerations should be made when comparing washers? Electrical Requirements The large majority of washers require a standard 110-volt outlet. A small number of washers, primarily European compact laundry manufacturers — such as ASKO, Miele and certain Bosch models — run off of 220-volt power rather than standard 110-volt. Some of these models use only a cold water fill, as opposed to having both a cold inlet and hot inlet. If you have a compact-sized washer, be sure to check the existing plumbing and electrical to ensure the new washer can be reconnected without additional work. Stacked Laundry Though most washers are installed next to the dryer, some save space by stacking. In the past, stackable laundry was commonly sold as a one-piece tower with the washer on bottom and dryer on top. While still available in limited selection, most stackable laundry is now available by purchasing each piece separately and using a mounting bracket to connect. Door Swing Generally, the front load washer door should swing opposite of the dyer door so that clothes can be easily transferred. Most front load washers are left hinged and cannot be reversed. If existing plumbing doesn’t accomodate the typical setup, a small number of right-hinged and reversible front-loading washers are available. High efficiency top load machines also an available substitute. return to top What wash cycles are available and how do they differ? At a minimum, every washer will feature three main wash cycles: normal, permanent press, and delicate. A normal wash is designed for casual clothes and towels. Permanent press offers gentler wash action for dress shirts, pants and other business attire. Delicate washes are designed for laces, silks, and other sensitive items that would be harmed by more abrasive wash action. Top load washers utilize transmissions with varying motor speeds. To wash more delicately, a one-speed washer will agitate intermittently. A washer with two or more motor speeds can reach a lower agitation level, providing more delicate care than intermittent performance. Front-load washers slow down tumbling motion and default to lower spin speeds when a more delicate cycle is selected. In addition, with the use of advanced technology, many manufacturers offer specialty cycles that optimize wash times, temperature levels, water levels, agitation/ tumbling speeds, rinses and spins to suit each individual load size and fabric type. return to top Unique specialty cycles Sanitary Cycle – internal heating elements increase the temperature of incoming water to over 160 degrees. Sanitary cycles are capable of killing dust mites, germs, and bacteria. The National Sanitation Foundation, or NSF, approves washers capable of sanitization with the “NSF Certified” label. Best used on comforters, bed sheets and pillow cases. Allergy Cycle – internal heating elements increase incoming water temperature to over 130 degrees. Though not capable of true sanitization, it is able to kill most allergens that irritate sensitive skin. Best used on regular clothing that could be damaged by the extreme high heat of a sanitary cycle. Favorite / My Cycle – many manufacturers allow for a commonly used cycle to be programmed into the machine’s control memory. This makes it convenient to select the same cycle settings each time with the push of one button. return to top What design & color options are available? Options in laundry designs & color have increased greatly in the past few years. Though white is still the most popular color for washers & dryers, colors like red, blue, gray, champagne and stainless are becoming more popular. In addition to providing more color choices, washers are designed with increasingly sophisticated control panels and door designs. For example, some deluxe models feature touchless control panels, LED readout screens, chrome door rings, shiny knobs and silver accents as opposed to less-expensive models with push-button controls and painted finished knobs and door trim. A growing trend in new homes and remodeled laundry rooms is building laundry into surrounding cabinets and under a counter. The built-in look provides a large, convenient surface for folding clothes and storage. Laundry can differ in size, so its important to check installation requirements & measurements before designing the cabinetry. Some manufacturers, such as ASKO and Miele, offer models that accept a custom door front. In this application, a cabinet-maker builds panels to the required specification, which match the room decor. This allows the washer and dryer to be installed and integrated into existing cabinetry for a flush, seamless appearance. return to top How does steam affect washing performance? Steam washers use internal heat chambers to superheat incoming moisture into steam and inject it into the washtub during the cycle for enhanced deep cleaning and clothes freshening. Most front load washers clean by thoroughly showering water through the clothing fibers. Steam can penetrate through clothing fibers better than water molecules resulting in a deeper, more effective clean. Steam, being 212 degrees, reaches a high enough temperature to eliminate certain irritants and bacteria. LG washers with the Allergiene cycle, are specifically designed to help people who suffer irritation or other symptoms resulting from household allergens. Washers with steam capabilities often feature a freshening cycle as well. These short freshening cycles (approximately 20 minutes) are designed to force stale odor from clothes that have been hanging in the closet (or sitting damp in the washer) for far too long. return to top What are some new and unique features available on today’s washers? Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) Most washers rely on the incoming water temperature, but some clothes washers use thermostats to ensure that this temperature is proper. If water is coming in is either too cold or too hot, the appropriate valve will open to bring the water to an ideal temperature. Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) technology designed by Frigidaire, is especially useful in cold climates when performing a cold wash cycle. Detergent requires a minimum water temperature of 65 degrees to activate cleaning enzymes. If the incoming water is too cold, Automatic Temperature Control opens the hot water valve to bring water temperature to 65 degrees. This is still a cold wash by garment industry standards but is at the minimum temperature needed to activate detergent enzymes for proper cleaning. Stainless steel wash basket An increasing number of washers now come with a stainless steel wash basket as opposed to plastic or porcelain. A stainless steel wash tub gradually smoothes out over time, creating an environment less likely to snag and damage clothing. Stainless steel is less porous than plastic or porcelain – and less likely to absorb odors or discoloration. Ultimately, aside from offering a great appearance, stainless steel is the most durable tub material in the industry. Magnetic direct-drive system Traditionally, washers used either a belt-driven or gear-driven transmission. More models now feature a magnetic direct-drive system which uses two oppositely charged magnets that push and pull against each other. With origins in the respirator industry, this motor is one of the most stable and reliable in the industry. Extra rinse A second rinse is helpful in removing soap residues, which can irritate people with sensitive skin. A second rinse often occurs automatically. Extra rinse allows a third rinse to be added for good measure. Some washers can clean efficiently with up to seven rinses. Ease of use Most of us are used to setting our own options when running the washer, but high-efficiency machines default to an appropriate time, spin speed, and temperature once a cycle is selected. Some models have touch-screen controls or attractive LCD readouts that make setting the wash cycle a snap. Noise level While not rated as certifiably as the dishwasher industry, models differ from one another in terms of volume, sometimes substantially. Higher-end washers use better suspension systems, shock absorbers, insulation and motor design in an attempt to ensure silent operation. Storage pedestals Most pedestals are designed to raise a front load washer higher from the ground, providing easier access and extra storage. Some innovative pedestals now feature compartments that can store up to six months of liquid detergent and fabric softener. This type of pedestal connects directly to the corresponding front load washer and dispenses detergent automatically. return to top How can I further protect the investment of my new washer? Most manufacturers offer a one year limited warranty on their product. For as little as $50 Warners’ Stellian offers a Product Protection Guarantee designed to keep your new washer performing as well as the day you bought it. Our Product Protection Guarantee covers all functional parts and labor on your new appliance for up to two, three or five years. return to top We hope you have found this buying guide to be useful and informative and we appreciate the time you took to read through it.

google what is endometriosis

I’ll attempt to explain endometriosis here (paraphrasing from many sources) and will explain my specific experience in later posts. What Is Endometriosis? Endometriosis is tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) that is found elsewhere in the body – usually in the pelvis, but sometimes even in remote locations. There have even been rare cases where endometriosis has been found in male patients. There are four stages of endometriosis.

What is Endometriosis?

What is Endometriosis? August 29, 2015 by Christina 1 Comment Endometriosis

However, staging is typically used to evaluate fertility and is not a good indicator of how much pain a person is in. For example a person with Stage 1 *could* suffer more pain than a person with Stage 4. What Does Endometriosis Feel Like? Not EVERYONE with endometriosis has every symptom listed and of course, there are many other symptoms depending on the location of the endometriosis…but here are a few:severe crampingpelvic pain outside of periodbackachepainful intercourse or pain associated with sexual activitypainful bowel movementsfatiguebloatingconstipationdiarrhea associated with periodpain with exercisepainful pelvic examspainful urinationsciatic pain How Is Endometriosis Diagnosed? The only way to know for SURE that a patient has endometriosis is to have a laparoscopic procedure done so that the tissues can be viewed under a microscope. If a patient has an endometrioma cyst, an MRI, CT, or ultrasound can give limited details…but not every endometriosis patient has cysts. What Is The Cause…And Is There A Cure? The cause of Endometriosis is unknown. There have been a lot of theories but most have been considered to be myths. There is no singular cure for endometriosis. There are only treatments. The type of treatment chosen, will typically determine the amount of pain relief for the patient. Some patients are told that pregnancy will help their symptoms. This is a myth…and after delivery and breastfeeding, the endometriosis is likely to return – often with a vengeance. A hysterectomy is NOT a cure for endometriosis. It can help if you have endometriosis on the uterus (or a condition called adenomyosis which is endometriosis of the uterus) but a hysterectomy without proper removal of the rest of the endometriosis (excision) will not cure endometriosis. Medical suppression: Oral contraceptives can help stabilize endometriosis for a while if the disease is mild. There are also GNRH analogs (Lupron, Synarel, Zoladex and Danocrine) that basically put your body in a medically induced menopause…but the side effects (often long term) are not great and can also just treat the symptoms. Surgery: there are different approaches to endometriosis surgery. Most doctors perform laser ablation, cauterization, and fulguration which treat lesions on the surface of the pelvic organs. This does not get the deep “roots” of the endometriosis. Therefore, the most effective treatment is to find a surgeon who specializes in excision of endometriosis. These surgeons can be hard to find and you might have to travel but the long term success rate is much greater than a less experienced doctor. Final Thoughts I am only an “expert” on endometriosis because I have to be – I have been dealing with it for most of my life…but have only been aware of it for about 2 years. It is disheartening that approximately 1 in 10 women have endometriosis, that it is not treated as a serious medical disease (often put off as just period cramps), and there is no cure. I will likely be seeking treatment from the Center for Endometriosis Care in Atlanta, GA which is where I pulled much of the information stated above.

benefits of potassium supplements

Potassium gluconate is a type of potassium supplement. Potassium is an electrolyte, or a mineral in your blood and other body fluids that carry an electric charge. It is important to keep a balance of electrolytes in your body. Most people can get all the potassium they need from a healthy diet.

What Are the Benefits of Potassium Gluconate Supplements?by ERIN BECK Oct. 03, 2017

However, some people who lack potassium may choose to take a supplement. Those who suffer from malabsorption syndromes, such as Crohn's disease, or take loop diuretics, may especially benefit from taking a supplement. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Heart Health Consuming twice as much potassium as sodium in the diet reduces your risk of dying from heart disease, according to a study published by Paul Whelton in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Taking potassium supplements may cause a drop in blood pressure, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. However, the effect may only occur if you start out deficient in potassium. High blood pressure is a risk factor for heart disease. Prevents Hypokalemia Hypokalemia, or low potassium, can be caused by lack of potassium in the diet. It can also be caused by using a diuretic or having diarrhea or vomiting for long periods of time, according to the Merck Manual of Health and Aging. Hypokalemia can lead to low insulin, increasing blood sugar. If potassium stays very low, fatigue, confusion, muscle weakness and cramps can result. Very severe hypokalemia can cause paralysis and abnormal heart rhythms, or arrythmias. Potassium supplements can treat hypokalemia. Bone Health Diets high in potassium may have a beneficial effect on bone health. A diet high in bicarbonate, found in fruits and vegetables, and potassium, present in dairy products, significantly reduces bone turnover, or bone breakdown and reformation, according to a 2008 study published by Susan A. Lanham-New in the Journal of Nutrition. The effect could have also been due to other components in the potassium-rich foods. Muscle Function The ratio of sodium to potassium is is critical for muscle contraction, according to the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University. Low potassium can cause muscle cramping. Potassium is also necessary for the building of muscle. Lose Weight. Feel Great!Change your life with My Plate by LIVE STRONG .
