do carmax give warranty on their cars

A range rover is a higher risk car so maybe, but if you think about the fact that Carmax cars come at a premium and then the extended warranty is on top of that, it's reasonable to come to the conclusion that it's not worth it.

( self.cars)submitted 1 year ago by Italian Flyer Lexus: '99 LS400 / '00 GS400Just curious since this has been brought up many times on this sub especially after Doug De Muro's Range Rover series. How good is the Car Max warranty in reality? Like if I were feeling adventurous and wanted to pick up a used AMG or a V10 M5 or something ridiculously finicky to maintain. Would getting the extended warranty really cure the majority of headaches that would come from owning such cars? I know for example it doesn't cover wear items and shocks are listed as exclusions, but does that include struts on systems like Mercedes ABC or general air suspensions? Any first hand experiences?

It's a named exclusion policy, so it tells you up front what it WONT cover. They fix a majority of issues. You can look online or walk into a store and ask for a copy of their coverage beforehand. However, the extended service contract is priced based on the vehicle you buy, mileage, and ""deductible"". A Toyota Corolla would cost about $900. An AMG or V10 M5 will be $4,000+. Like all extended service plans, it's a money-making item for Car Max. Some people have more in repairs than they paid for the extended service plan. The majority of buyers don't.

One thing to keep in mind though, Car Max used cars are generally a bit more expensive than what you might find private party, or even at a dealer (assuming non-CPO). They also do not haggle on the price.

is a presynaptic neuron is stimulated

Transmission of action potentials across electric and chemical synapses. In both cases, the presynaptic neuron was stimulated and the membrane potential was measured in both the presynaptic and postsynaptic cells (see Figure 21-7a).

Synapses - Presynaptic

"Chapters Lodish 4th edition: Chapter 21 pages 935-944 Moyes and Schulte: Chapter 5 pages 165-168; 184-194Nervous system overview - how neurons connect Figure 21-6, Lodish 4th edition. A highly schematic diagram of the vertebrate nervous system. The central nervous system (CNS) comprises the brain and spinal cord. It receives direct sensory input from the eyes, nose, tongue, and ears. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) comprises three sets of neurons: (1) somatic and visceral sensory neurons, which relay information to the CNS from receptors in somatic and internal organs; (2) somatic motor neurons, which innervate voluntary skeletal muscles; and (3) autonomic motor neurons, which innervate the heart, the smooth involuntary muscles such as those surrounding the stomach and intestine, and glands such as the liver and pancreas. The sympathetic and parasympathetic autonomic motor neurons frequently cause opposite effects on internal organs. The cell bodies of somatic motor neurons are within the CNS; those of somatic sensory neurons and of autonomic motor neurons are in ganglia adjacent to the CNS. Synaptic communication Sherrington (1890) studied reflex functions of spinal cord - coined the word synapse = a functional connection between surfaces - synapse (from the Greek: to clasp, to connect or join) - sites of interaction between neurons and neurons and their targets Synapses can occur between a wide range of different regions of the neuron. From Moyes and Schulte, Figure 5.27 Variation of the structure and location of synapses. Electrical synapses- cells connect via gap junctions: - membranes are separated by 2 nm - gap junctions link the cytosol of two cells and provide a passageway for movement of very small molecules and ions between the cells - this can be measured with a fluorescent dye and using a fluorescence microscope to observe whether they pass into neighboring cells Figure 21-35, Lodish 4th editon. An electric synapse. (a) The plasma membranes of the presynaptic and postsynaptic cells are linked by gap junctions. Flow of ions through these channels allows electric impulses to be transmitted directly from one cell to the other. (b) Negatively stained, electron microscopic image of the cytosolic face of a region of plasma membrane enriched in gap junctions; each “doughnut” forms a channel connecting two cells. Figure 22-7, Lodish 4th edition. Electron micrograph of a thin section through a gap junction connecting two mouse liver cells. The two plasma membranes are closely associated for a distance of several hundred nanometers, separated by a “gap” of 2 3 nm.- gap junction channels have a large conductance - NO synaptic delay (current spread from cell to cell is instantaneous) - important in some reflexes - chemical synpases (below) do have a significant delay. Figure 21-36, Lodish 4th edition.

Signals are transmitted across an electric synapse within a few microseconds because ions flow directly from the presynaptic cell to the postsynaptic cell through gap junctions. In contrast, signal transmission across a chemical synapse is delayed about 0.5 ms — the time required for secretion and diffusion of neurotransmitter and the response of the postsynaptic cell to it.- commonly found in other cell types as well i.e. glia - can be modulated by intracellular Ca+2, p H, membrane voltage, calmodulin - clusters of proteins that span the gap such that ions and small molecules can pass directly from one cell to another-made up of 6 protein subunits arranged around a central pore, made up of the connexin protein - the two sides come together to make a complete unit of 12 proteins around the central pore - cloned from many tissues and organisms and are extremely well conserved Figure 22-8, Lodish 4th edition. Structure of gap junctions. (a) In this model, a gap junction is a cluster of channels between two plasma membranes that are separated by a gap of about 2 3 nm. (b) Both membranes contain connexon hemichannels, cylinders of six dumbbell-shaped connexin subunits. (c) Each connexin subunit has four transmembrane alpha helices. Two connexons join in the gap between the cells to form a gap-junction channel, 1.5 2.0 nm in diameter, that connects the cytoplasm of the two cells. Chemical Figure 21-4, Lodish 4th edition. A chemical synapse. (a) A narrow region — the synaptic cleft — separates the plasma membranes of the presynaptic and postsynaptic cells. Transmission of electric impulses requires release of a neurotransmitter (red circles) by the presynaptic cell, its diffusion across the synaptic cleft, and its binding by specific receptors on the plasma membrane of the postsynaptic cell. (b) Electron micrograph showing a cross section of a dendrite synapsing with an axon terminal filled with synaptic vesicles. In the synaptic region, the plasma membrane of the presynaptic cell is specialized for vesicle exocytosis; synaptic vesicles, which contain a neurotransmitter, are clustered in these regions. The opposing membrane of the postsynaptic cell (in this case, a neuron) contains receptors for the neurotransmitter. Figure 21-30, Lodish 4th edition. Micrograph of an axon terminal obtained by the rapid-freezing deep-etch technique. Note the fibers, largely composed of synapsin, that interconnect the vesicles and also connect some to the active zone of the plasma membrane. Docked vesicles are ready to be exocytosed. Those toward the center of the terminal are in the process of being filled with neurotransmitter.- most common type of synapse - electrical signal in the presynaptic cell is communicated to the postsynaptic cell by a chemical (the neurotransmitter), - separation between presynaptic and postsynaptic membranes is about 20 to 30 nm - a chemical transmitter is released and diffuses to bind to receptors on postsynaptic side - bind leads (directly or indirectly) to changes in the postsynaptic membrane potential (usually by opening or closing transmitter sensitive ion channels) - the response of the neurotransmitter receptor can depolarizes (excitatory postsynaptic potential; epsp) or hyperpolarizes (inhibitory postsynaptic potential; ipsp) the post-synaptic cell and changes its activity - significant delay in signal (1 msec) but far more flexible than electrical synapse Some types of chemical synapse include: i) Excitatory - excite (depolarize the postsynaptic cell) ii) Inhibitory - inhibit (hyperpolarize the postsynaptic cell) iv) Modulatory - modulates the postsynaptic cells response to other synapses Figure 21-32, Lodish 4th edition. Excitatory and inhibitory responses in postsynaptic cells stimulated by acetylcholine. (a) Application of acetylcholine (or nicotine) to frog skeletal muscle produces a rapid postsynaptic depolarization of about 10 m V, which lasts 20 ms. The nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in these cells are ligand-gated cation channels; binding of acetylcholine opens the channel, admitting both Na+ and K+. (b) Application of acetylcholine (or muscarine) to frog heart muscle produces, after a lag period of about 40 ms (not visible in graph), a hyperpolarization of 2 3 m V, which lasts several seconds. These cells contain muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, which are coupled via a G protein to K+ channels. Activation of the receptor leads to channel opening. Different types of neurotransmitter receptors Functional Type Ligand* Ion Channel Excitatory Receptors Acetylcholine (nicotinic receptor) Na + /K +Glutamate (NMDA class receptors) † Na + /K + and Ca 2+Glutamate (non-NMDA class receptors) ‡ Na + /K +Serotonin (5HT 3 class receptors) Na + /K +Inhibitory Receptors ?-Aminobutyric acid, GABA (A-class receptors) Cl -Glycine Cl -* Most of these ligands also bind to receptors that are coupled to G proteins (see Table 21-2 ). Their receptors that are ion channels are indicated in parentheses.† Opening of the cation channel in these receptors requires a slightly depolarized membrane and binding of glutamate (or N -methyl- D aspartate, NMDA).‡ Opening of the cation channel in these receptors only requires binding of glutamate. SOURCE: Lodish 4th edition Figure 5.16 Events of signal transmission at a chemical synapse From Moyes and Schulte Basic Function of Chemical Synapse1. Nerve impulse arrives at presynaptic terminal2. Depolarization causes voltage-gated Ca+2 channels to open - increases Ca+2 influx, get a transient elevation of internal Ca+2 ~100 m M3. Vesicle exocytosis - increase in Ca+2 induces fusion of synaptic vesicles to membrane - vesicles contain neurotransmitters4. Vesicle fusion to membrane releases stored neurotransmitter5. Transmitter diffuses across cleft to postsynaptic side6. Neurotransmitters bind to receptor either: i) ligand-gated ion channel or ii) receptors linked to 2nd messenger systems7. Binding results in a conductance change - channels open or close or - binding results in modulation of postsynaptic side8. Postsynaptic response - change in membrane potential (e.g. muscle contraction in the case of a motorneuron at a neuromuscular junction)9. Neurotransmitter is removed from the cleft by two mechanisms i) transmitter is destroyed by an enzyme such as acetylcholine esterase ii) transmitter is taken back up into the presynaptic cell and recycled e.g. - acetylcholine esterase, breaks down acetylcholine in cleft, choline is recycled back into the presynaptic terminal Removal of neurotransmittera) broken down by enzymes - acetylcholine esterase breaks down acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft - many nerve gases and insecticides work by blocking acetylcholine esterase - prolongs synaptic communication b) recycled by uptake - most neurotransmitters are removed by Na+/neurotransmitter symporters - due to a specific neurotransmitter transporter - recycled by uptake into presynaptic terminal or other cells (glial cells will take up neurotransmitters) c) diffusion, simple diffusion away from site Presynaptic Vesicles- neurotransmitters can be divided into two groups i) low molecular weight, non-peptide e.g. acetylcholine, glycine, glutamate ii) neuropeptide (over 40 identified so far and counting) - same transmitters found widely distributed through out diverse organisms There are 2 types of secretory vesicles for this course we will only talk about small chemical synaptic vesicles (the other class neuropeptides are made and packaged in the cell body and transported to synapse). Small chemical neurotransmitter vesicles - responsible for fast synaptic signaling - store non-peptide neurotransmitters, e.g. acetylcholine, glycine, glutamate - enough vesicles in the typical nerve terminal to transmit a few thousand impulses - exocytosis only occurs after an increase of internal Ca+2 (due to depolarization) and at active zones (regions in the presynaptic membrane adjacent to the cleft)Figure 21-29, Lodish 4th edition. Figure 7-42, Lodish 5th edition. Release of neurotransmitters and the recycling of synaptic vesicles. Vesicles import neurotransmitters (red circles) from the cytosol (step 1) using a H+/neurotransmitter antiporter. The low intravesicular p H, generated by a V-type ATPase in the vesicle membrane, powers neurotransmitter import. The vesicles then move to the active zone near the plasma membrane (step 2) and “dock” at defined membrane sites by interacting with specific proteins (step 3). A rise in cytosolic Ca2+ triggers fusion of the docked vesicles and release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft (step 4). Synaptic-vesicle membrane proteins are then specifically recovered by endocytosis, usually in clathrin-coated vesicles (step 5). The clathrin coat is depolymerized, yielding vesicles that are the same size as synaptic vesicles. These new synaptic vesicles then are filled with neurotransmitters (step 1), completing the cycle, which typically takes about 60 seconds. Neurotransmitter - goes through a number of separate stages in its actions1. Synthesis - all small chemical neurotransmitters are made in the nerve terminal - responsible for fast synaptic signalling - synthetic enzymes + precursors transported into nerve terminal - subject to feedback inhibition (from recycled neurotransmitters) - can be stimulated to increase activity (via Ca+2 stimulated phosphorylation)2. Packaging into vesicles - neurotransmitters packaged into vesicles - packaged in small ""classical"" vesicles - involves a pump powered by a p H gradient between outside and inside of vesicle - pump blocked by drugs and these block neurotransmitter release Vesicle Exocytosis- many of the molecules that involved in vesicle exocytosis are now known - related to other vesicle fusion systems such as Golgi or secretory procedures - a group of 6 to 7 proteins work together to respond to Ca+2 influx and regulate vesicle fusion - many of these proteins are common to other secretory pathways - in yeast: mutations that affect the homologues of these exocytosis mediating proteins have been made and all impair exocytosis - after exocytosis the synaptic vesicle membranes are reinternalized by endocytosis and reused (reloaded with neurotransmitter by a transmitter transporter system) - vesicles are also transported from the cell body to the nerve terminal - transmitter is synthesized in the terminal and loaded into the vesicles - enzymes and substrates necessary are present in the terminal - i.e. acetylcholine, acetyl-Co A + choline used by choline acetyltransferasei) non-peptide transmitters - exocytosis only occurs after an increase of internal Ca+2 (due to depolarization) - at active zones (regions in the presynaptic membrane adjacent to the cleft) - many of the molecules that involved in vesicle exocytosis are now know - a group of 6 to 7 proteins work together to respond to Ca+2 influx and regulate vesicle fusionii) peptide-transmitters (same as for non-peptide transmitters except:) - exocytosis is NOT restricted to active zones - exocytosis is triggered by trains of action potentials SNARE hypothesis Figure 21-31, Lodish 4th edition. Synaptic-vesicle and plasma-membrane proteins important for vesicle docking and fusion. Interaction of the T-SNAREs syntaxin and SNAP25 with the V-SNARE VAMP is aided by Rab3A. Neurexin, Ca2+ channels, and other plasma-membrane proteins localized to the synaptic region may also interact with synaptic-vesicle proteins. The vesicle protein synaptotagmin is the major Ca2+ sensor that triggers vesicle fusion- four components i) V-SNARE - vesicle membrane proteins ii) T-SNARE - target membrane proteins - vesicle docking occurs between the V-SNARE and T-SNARE proteins - the combined proteins act as a receptor for an ATPase that utlizes ATP to generate the ""docked"" form - one of the proteins is a Ca+2 sensor such that when Ca+2 enters the synapse the vescile fuses with the plasma membrane and releases its contents - the membrane and proteins are then recycles through endocytosis (clatharin coat and dynamin etc.) and reused. Vesicle release can be blocked by toxins From Purves, Neuroscience 3rd edition. Each toxin cleaves a component of the SNARE complex and results in block of synaptic transmission. I.e. Ca+2 influx still occurs but vesicle release is reduced or blocked Back to home "

bait-and-switch advertising definition

Bait and switch advertising is when a company offers consumers an appealing deal and then changes the deal when consumers make direct inquiries. The Federal Trade Commission monitors advertising, and has laws in place that prohibit advertisers from using deceptive advertising and that require them to have proof to back up claims.

Examples of Bait & Switch Advertising

"Related Articles1Examples of Loss Leader Pricing2What Is Leader Pricing?3Examples of Comparative Advertising4Types of a Deceptive Advertisement

But there are still plenty of examples of bait and switch advertising that consumers need to watch for. One of a Kind One of the more common examples of a bait and switch sales tactic is when used car dealerships advertise extremely low prices on vehicles for which they have a very limited number in stock. You might see an advertisement for a car you would like at a price you can afford, but when you get to the dealership the car is already sold. In this case, the dealer will offer to show you other vehicles you might be interested in. This is technically legal because the dealership did have at least one such car in stock, and it is possible that the one vehicle was already promised to another customer when it was advertised. By the time other interested consumers arrive, the advertised vehicle is gone and the bait and switch is on. While Supplies Last One bait and switch technique that retailers use is to offer a free accessory with a popular product to drive foot traffic to the store. For example, a retail store may offer a free ink cartridge for each printer sold while supplies of the cartridge last. But the supplies are limited and are gone by the time a majority of the consumers arrive at the store. In lieu of giving you a free cartridge, the store will try to sell you one instead. This is an example of how retail stores use limited supply specials as a bait and switch. Financing Financing can be a convenient way for consumers to make larger purchases such as cars, home appliances or furniture. Companies will promote low financing rates as a major focus of their advertising for an upcoming sale. The promise might be that everyone will be eligible for financing, or that financing is available at an interest rate as low as zero percent. It is important to read the fine print in these ads; the FTC has laws that all companies must follow when making financing claims. The bait and switch in this type of advertising is usually that only people with excellent credit might qualify for zero percent financing. Even if you have great credit, you might have to put money down to get the zero percent rate. The bait is the zero percent interest rate. The switch is when people do not read the fine print and are met with a long list of conditions after they've already decided to buy an item. Actual Item Not Pictured Bait and switch advertising is effective because it gets the consumer believing that he is going to find the deal of the year by just walking into a store. Whether that item is a free giveaway after making a purchase, or the ability to purchase a unique item at a low price, the attraction of bait and switch advertising is strong. Thanks to the FTC, the signs of bait and switch are evident if you just look closely at the advertisement. For example, if you see an advertisement that promises a free television to everyone that purchases a new vehicle, you may be tempted to check out the dealership's cars because of the 52-inch high definition television you saw in the picture. But if you read the fine print of the ad, it will tell you that the actual television they are giving away is not pictured. References (3)About the Author George N.

where is crystal colorado

ado History of Crystal City, Colorado Crystal City is a semi-ghost town located 6 miles east of the City of Marble. The road to Crystal City has to be experienced. The city was originally incorporateded in 1880, and had a high population of some 300-400 hardy souls, mostly support for the miners in the area.

History of Crystal City, Colorado

SERVICES Crystal City Jeep Tours... Location and History... Contacting Us... Picture Page... Return to Homepage Color

By the early 1920's it was all but a ghost town, with few residents until the 1940's when families began a tradition of summer residence. Today up to 5 families are in residence during the summer months -- June to September. Mining in the area included silver, copper, lead, iron, and zinc. Silver was the predominate lode until circa 1900 when the price of silver ore took a nose dive due to the national change to the gold standard. By 1918 mining in the area was all but dead. During that period however, the road from Crested Butte to Crystal City via Scholfield Pass was built. The road was never truly completed, with construction stopping at the Devils Punchbowl. Since the ore smelters were in Crested Butte and Marble, miners had to haul their ore using Jack Trains (ore laden mules, 100 or more to a train). Histories of the area only mention freight wagons for delivery of goods to the city. The road from Crystal City to Marble was constructed circa 1930/40. There was a period during which you could drive a sedan from Marble to Crystal City. That is no longer true today. It can be argued that the road is basically the same condition as when it was blazed. Most agree however, that the trip is worth it. There are about 15 cabins in Crystal City. Only 3 of those are newer construction, and one has been restored inside and out. The Crystal Store has been in operation for over 50 years, make sure you sign the guest book in the store. Six cabins are for rent through the summer months. Inquire at the store. The sight most visitors come to see is the Crystal Mill (aka Lost Horse Mill). The most photographed historic site in the state of Colorado, and ranked in the top 5 in the nation. Keep in mind that the Mill is in fact private property, so wading the river and exploring the building is prohibited. The Crystal Mill has also been called the Dead Horse Mill. No one knows why.

where can a plasma membrane be found in a cell

The plasma membrane is the border between the interior and exterior of a cell. As such, it controls passage of various molecules—including sugars, amino acids, ions, and water—into and out of the cell. How easily these molecules can cross the membrane depends on their size and polarity.

Introduction

"Introduction What’s a cell? Well, on some level, it's a bag of goo. The plasma membrane—the outer boundary of the cell—is the bag, and the cytoplasm is the goo. Of course, a cell is ever so much more than just a bag of goo. It's a complex, highly organized unit, the basic building block of all living things. And the plasma membrane and cytoplasm are actually pretty sophisticated. The membrane is a delicate, two-layered structure of lipids and proteins, and it controls what can enter and exit the cell. Similarly, the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell consists not only of cytosol—a gel-like substance made up of water, ions, and macromolecules—but also of organelles and the structural proteins that make up the cytoskeleton, or ""skeleton of the cell. ""In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the plasma membrane and cytoplasm. The plasma membrane Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have a plasma membrane, a double layer of lipids that separates the cell interior from the outside environment. This double layer consists largely of specialized lipids called phospholipids. A phospholipid is made up of a hydrophilic, water-loving, phosphate head, along with two hydrophobic, water-fearing, fatty acid tails. Phospholipids spontaneously arrange themselves in a double-layered structure with their hydrophobic tails pointing inward and their hydrophilic heads facing outward. This energetically favorable two-layer structure, called a phospholipid bilayer, is found in many biological membranes. [Close-up of a phospholipid]_Image credit: "" Lipids: Figure 8 "" by Open Stax College, Biology, CC BY 3.0 _As shown below, proteins are also an important component of the plasma membrane. Some of them pass all the way through the membrane, serving as channels or signal receptors, while others are just attached at the edge. Different types of lipids, such as cholesterol, may also be found in the cell membrane and affect its fluidity. Image credit: modified from Open Stax Biology

Some small, nonpolar molecules, such as oxygen, can pass directly through the phospholipid portion of the membrane. Larger and more polar, hydrophilic, molecules, such as amino acids, must instead cross the membrane by way of protein channels, a process that is often regulated by the cell. You can learn more about cellular transport in the membranes and transport section. The surface area of the plasma membrane limits the exchange of materials between a cell and its environment. Some cells are specialized in the exchange of wastes or nutrients and have modifications to increase the area of the plasma membrane. For instance, the membranes of some nutrient-absorbing cells are folded into fingerlike projections called microvilli, singular, microvillus. Cells with microvilli cover the inside surface of the small intestine, the organ that absorbs nutrients from digested food. The microvilli help intestinal cells maximize their absorption of nutrients from food by increasing plasma membrane surface area. [Microvilli and celiac disease]People with celiac disease have an immune response to gluten—a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. This immune response damages the microvilli of the small intestine. Because of the damage, intestinal cells cannot absorb nutrients normally, leading to malnutrition, cramping, and diarrhea. Fortunately, a gluten-free diet prevents the immune response from taking place, allowing intestinal cells to remain healthy and structurally intact. Image credit: Open Stax Biology. Micrograph is a modification of work by Louisa Howard. The cytoplasm The part of the cell referred to as cytoplasm is slightly different in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. In eukaryotic cells, which have a nucleus, the cytoplasm is everything between the plasma membrane and the nuclear envelope. In prokaryotes, which lack a nucleus, cytoplasm simply means everything found inside the plasma membrane. One major component of the cytoplasm in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes is the gel-like cytosol, a water-based solution that contains ions, small molecules, and macromolecules. In eukaryotes, the cytoplasm also includes membrane-bound organelles, which are suspended in the cytosol. The cytoskeleton, a network of fibers that supports the cell and gives it shape, is also part of the cytoplasm and helps to organize cellular components. Even though the cytosol is mostly water, it has a semi-solid, Jello-like consistency because of the many proteins suspended in it. The cytosol contains a rich broth of macromolecules and smaller organic molecules, including glucose and other simple sugars, polysaccharides, amino acids, nucleic acids, and fatty acids. Ions of sodium, potassium, calcium, and other elements are also found in the cytosol. Many metabolic reactions, including protein synthesis, take place in this part of the cell.

what does joe maddon use on his hair

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Joe Maddon is in favor of the change at the top of Tampa Bay's on-field leadership. Manager Joe Maddon addresses the media before the Rays' game against the Orioles after dyeing his hair black. AP Photo/Chris O'Meara The Rays manager came to the ballpark for Tuesday night's game against Baltimore with his silver hair dyed black, a head start on a Johnny Cash-themed road trip next week. ""I thought, why not in advance?"" Maddon said.

""Lighten things up a bit. It's part of the grand scheme. ""Tampa Bay uses various themes for longer trips in an attempt to keep the team loose. ""I didn't know it was him,"" Tampa Bay designated hitter Pat Burrell joked. The Rays started Tuesday four games behind AL wild-card leader Texas. The last time Maddon dyed his hair was in 2002, when he was a bench coach for the World Series Los Angeles Angels. ""It was time to do something different,"" Maddon said. ""It's here to stay. ""Maddon is not the first Rays manager to dye his hair. Lou Piniella, now with Chicago Cubs, added hints of blond to his hair six years ago to fulfill a pledge after Tampa Bay won three games in a row. Tampa Bay, which ended the 2003 season with 99 losses, went 33-44 after Piniella's dye job, including an 11-3 loss to the Chicago White just hours after Piniella's hair was dyed on July 6.

what is considered a missed pill

Although you should take the pill at roughly the same time of day, it is not considered missing the pill unless you forget to take the pill for the whole day. If you miss any hormone pills, you need a backup method of birth control (such as condom) for the rest of the month.

The Pill

"The Pill The pill is a prescription method of birth control. It consists of a month-long series of pills containing synthetic hormones – progesterone with or without estrogen (without is the mini pill) – that are taken every day. Why Take It? How Is It Used? Does It Protect Against STIs? Does It Protect Against Pregnancy? Advantages & Disadvantages Things to Remember What If I Miss a Pill? Why Take It? To prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovaries)To Thicken the cervical mucus to make it harder for the sperm and egg to meet To thin uterine lining to hinder egg implantation in the uterus if egg fertilization occurs Back to top How Is It Used? A pill must be taken every day. Generally, the pills taken during the first three weeks of the month contain hormones, while the pills taken during the fourth week contain no hormones, allowing you to have a menstrual period. For most effective use, it is best to take each pill at the same time of day, such as each morning when you wake up or before bed if you have a consistent bed time. Back to top Does It Protect Against STIs? STI stands for sexually transmitted infection. The risks of being infected with an STI vary depending on how you choose to protect yourself and your partner during different sexual or intimate activities. Unfortunately, the pill does not protect against STIs. Back to top Does It Protect Against Pregnancy? Yes, as long as the pill is taken every day consistently. Pregnancy can occur if the pill is not taken correctly. For example: If pills are begun too late in the course of the menstrual cycle If two or more pills are missed in a row If pills are not taken in the correct order For the really low-dose pills, even if you are half-day late taking the pills What are the chances of getting pregnant using the pill? Typical use: 5 percent Perfect use: 0.1 percent Back to top Advantages & Disadvantages Advantages: Makes periods more regular Decreases the amount of menstrual flow Decreases the severity of cramps Decreases acne Helps prevent serious health risks such as: Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (a major cause of infertility in women)Ovarian and endometrial cancer Osteoporosis (thinning of the bones)Disadvantages: You must remember to take it every day without fail or it will not be effective. Does not protect against STIs. Has some health risks such as: Weight gain or loss Spotting between periods. Breast tenderness and/or growth Nausea or vomiting Depression Decreased or increased sexual drive Back to top Things to Remember The pill must be obtained from a medical clinician, and an examination is required. The costs of the examination and pill vary, but are usually lower at a clinic such as Planned Parenthood. The cost is covered by Medicaid. The pill should not be used by smokers who smoke more than 15 cigarettes a day. Use of the pill in addition to condoms is a more effective way to protect yourself against pregnancy as well as STIs. If you are breast feeding or suffer adverse side effects from estrogen, such as severe headaches and high blood pressure, a pill without estrogen is available and is known as the mini pill. Back to top What If I Miss a Pill?

If you miss one hormone pill: take it with the current day's pill (2 total) as soon as you remember. If you miss 2 hormone pills: take 2 pills as soon as you remember, and 2 the next day, then back to normal. If you miss three pills, that's it! You will get your period. Throw away the package and start over with a new package. If you miss a sugar pill, don't worry about it. Stay on track with your pack.

what is the difference between a credit score and a credit report?

Here are two key differences between credit reports and credit scores to consider: Credit scores are calculated based on information found on your credit report at the time it was pulled. If your credit report changes, your credit score changes. There are several different credit scores from each company – FICO has 53!

News & Press Releases Blog August 31, 2015 Maria Hinerman The Difference between Credit Report and Credit Score One of our previous blogs on credit scores, Understanding Your Credit Score, talked about the factors used to calculate FICO scores (the most widely used scoring system). However, the blog did not go into detail on what a credit score is or the difference between credit report and credit score. The two are not only different, but they are used for different purposes. Here are the main differences: Credit Report A credit report is a record of your credit history. The report may include loan amounts, current balances, credit companies used, dates accounts were opened, recently opened lines of credit, payment history, third-party collections, and even details of public record, such as bankruptcies. These detailed reports are created by the three National Credit Reporting Bureaus: Experian, Equifax, and Trans Union. Each one of the Bureaus maintains one credit report per person. However, these reports can vary, since creditors do not have to report information to all three Bureaus. Federal law requires that each of the three Bureaus give consumers a free copy of their credit report every 12 months. You can receive a free copy of your credit report by going to www.annualcreditreport.com. Credit Scores A credit score is an algorithm used to measure your financial risk based on the information on your credit report. FICO scores are the most widely used, but Vantage Score, and banks have their own. FICO scores have 5 factors used to calculate credit scores, and it weighs each factor differently. The other credit companies use similar information but may have different weights and/or include other data. Key Differences

You only have one credit report per Bureau. Lenders use credit reports and credit scores to see if you are responsible for your finances, and to make sure that you won’t be overwhelmed if you take on another loan. When taking out a mortgage loan, lenders look at both your credit report and credit scores, and are required to show you the three credit scores that were pulled from each of the three National Credit Reporting Bureaus for the application. Interest rates, terms, and whether you can apply for certain loans are factors that are affected by your credit score.

what is arp wave treatments

• ARPWAVE Neuro Therapy is a supplemental therapy, which treats the neurological origin of all physiological symptoms not the symptoms. • ARPWAVE Neuro Therapy is a supplement to all other forms of therapy. All other therapy or treatments deal with the physiology of the condition not the neurology. • Where the patient has pain is where the problem ended up NOT where it is coming from. • Where a surgeon does surgery is where the problem ended not the neurological origin.

What is it?

How Does ARPWAVE Neuro Therapy Work? Diagnostic: ARPWAVE Neuro Therapy will determine the origin of the signal which is causing restricted ROM or pain. Treatment: Once the signal is identified the patient must neurologically reeducate the muscles to absorb force and break all neuro compensation patterns. That is why the ARPWAVE Neuro Therapy can be a great addition to your practice. Add ARPWAVE Neuro Therapy. There is no risk or investment if you qualify.

what does hair tint do

Hair tint is a type of hair dye that changes the hair color permanently. If you want to change the color of your permanently then you should do hair tinting. It is a hair dye available in many forms. The tint can be a shampoo based hair color or a veggie dye.

Types Of Hair Tinting For All Variety Of Hairsbewithstyle / September 19, 2014 / No Comments Meaning OF Hair Tinting

Working Of Hair Tinting After applying a shampoo based hair dye or simple tinting to hair, a layer of ammonia gets stuck to the hair. The ammonia opens the cuticles of hair and enables the color to enter into them. In this way the original hair color changes to the color of this colored hair treatment. The hair tinting can cover up to 100% grey hairs. Effects Of Hair Tinting The effect of hair tinting depends on the type of hair tint you are using. You will be able to know the effects of tinting when you will know about what does hair dye do to your hair. There are two types of hair tinting- permanent and semi-permanent. Permanent hair tint like shampoo based hair dye completely changes the color of your hair. This effect can last up to lifetime. The color of the good hair color products does not fade away easily. If you have done a colored hair treatment with branded products then, then hair tinting will last longer. You cannot wash out hair color permanently. Hair tints also leave re-growth line. If you have done hair tinting which is matching to your natural hair color, then it will be less noticeable. If you have used semi-permanent tinting, you need to recolor your hair according to the speed of your tint fading. To do it quickly, use a shampoo based dye. The effect of hair tinting lasts freshly up to 6 weeks. So you can re-tint your after 6 weeks. How To Apply Hair Tinting Applying a hair tint is a very quick work to do. It takes less time in comparison to hair coloring. If you are using a shampoo based hair dye, then it is a matter of just 10 minutes. You can easily apply hair tint using a brush and a bowl. The time taken by a hair tint to develop its color is around 30 to 40 minutes. The application time depends on the length of your hair. If you have short hair, you can apply tint within 15 minutes. If you have long hair, tinting can take up to 30 minutes. To speed up the coloring process, you can use heat. But use heat under precaution. For best results, switch to a professional hair salon. But before applying a hair tint, you must take a skin test. In this test, apply a little bit of hair tint on a little area of scalp and leave for few minutes. If you don’t feel any irritation, then you can apply tint all over the hair, if you feel any kind of irritation then don’t use the tint and immediately consult a doctor. Demerits Of Hair Tinting You already read above the benefits of hair tinting, but there are some problems also. If you are aware of what does hair dye do to your hair, then you probably know the negative side of hair tinting. First problem is that you need your hair roots to be covered completely. If it is not done, then you will notice a growth line very soon which will spoil your hair look. For a better colored hair treatment, use good hair color products like shampoo based hair dye or veggie dye. The Result Of Hair Tinting The result of hair tinting is that you get a number of different tints for your hair, it can be a blonde color, or one of the best home red hair color, pure black, classy brown, etc. Natural Tinting-Veggie Dye Veggie hair dye is a very safe option in the field of hair tinting. If you have sensitive skin, then it is best for you. This dye is made of natural veggies. It does not contain chemicals or toxic. If you are allergic to hair dyes, then it is a superb option for you. But this dye is not long lasting like good hair color products. This natural colored hair treatment does not color the hair, but it covers the hair. For instance, the best home red hair color is natural henna. This dye fades off easily. This dye does not leave a re-growth line so you need not to worry about roots while using veggie dye. So use any tint you like, natural or ready-made, just pay attention to the precautions before the application and there’s nothing to worry about.

highest state income tax rate

States with the Highest and Lowest Taxes

"""Location, location, location"" applies to more than housing. Where you live can help or hinder your ability to make ends meet. ""It depends on demographics and individual circumstances,"" says Walter Molony of the National Association of Realtors. ""For those relocating for a job, the job is the deciding factor. However, taxes would possibly have some influence on your choice when you're retiring. ""A myriad of taxes—property, license, state and local sales, property, inheritance, estate and excise taxes on gasoline—eat away at your disposable income. Weighing the tax landscape against your financial picture lets you stretch your dollars. Personal income tax top 10The biggest tax ticket citizens face after paying the Internal Revenue Service is the one their state presents. Forty-one states and the District of Columbia levy a personal income tax.

Among the states that tax income, Pennsylvania's 3.07 percent flat tax ranks the Keystone State as the tenth lowest in the nation for 2017. Low personal income tax rates can be misleading; a lack of exemptions and deductions can raise the effective rate you pay. The Retirement Living Information Center says figuring your total tax burden, including sales and property taxes, gives you a more accurate reading on affordability. ""If you're on a fixed income, property taxes become a factor,"" says the NAR's Molony. Property taxes Property tax falls under local, not state, jurisdiction. The most expensive property tax counties in terms of percent of income, according to the Tax Foundation's analysis of the U. S. Census Bureau's 2009 American Community Survey were: Passaic County, New Jersey 8.79%Essex County, New Jersey 8.27%Union County, New Jersey 8.13%These Louisiana parishes hold the least expensive spots for property tax as a percent of income: Grant Parish 0.26%Assumption Parish 0.26%Vernon Parish 0.25%Sales tax takers and leavers If you're a consumer, you'll want to consider that all but five states—Oregon, New Hampshire, Montana, Delaware and Alaska—rely on sales tax for revenue. Of these, Alaska also has no income tax, thanks to the severance tax it levies on oil and natural gas production. However, 37 states, including sales-tax-free Alaska and Montana, allow local municipalities to impose a sales tax, which can add up. Lake Providence, Louisiana has the distinction of most expensive sales tax city in the country in 2017: a 12 percent combined state and city rate.

Its State and Local Tax Burden Rankings study reported that Americans paid an average rate of 9.9 percent in state and local taxes in 2012. According to the foundation, the five highest state-local tax states were: New York 12.7 %Connecticut 12.6%New Jersey 12.2%Illinois 11.0%California and Wisconsin 11.0%The same states have ranked as the top three consistently since 2005, according to the foundation.

what is the process called for exchanges gases between body and air

Ventilation is the process by which air moves in and out of the lungs. Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of gases, without the use of any energy or effort by the body, between the gas in the alveoli and the blood in the capillaries in the lungs. Perfusion is the process by which the cardiovascular system pumps blood throughout the lungs.

Exchanging Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide

Exchanging Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide By Noah Lechtzin, MD, MHS, Associate Professor of Medicine and Director, Adult Cystic Fibrosis Program, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine NOTE: This is the Consumer Version. DOCTORS: Click here for the Professional Version (See also Overview of the Respiratory System . )

The primary function of the respiratory system is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Inhaled oxygen enters the lungs and reaches the alveoli. The layers of cells lining the alveoli and the surrounding capillaries are each only one cell thick and are in very close contact with each other.

This barrier between air and blood averages about 1 micron ( 1 / 10,000 of a centimeter, or 0.000039 inch) in thickness. Oxygen passes quickly through this air-blood barrier into the blood in the capillaries. Similarly, carbon dioxide passes from the blood into the alveoli and is then exhaled. Oxygenated blood travels from the lungs through the pulmonary veins and into the left side of the heart, which pumps the blood to the rest of the body (see Biology of the Heart : Function of the Heart ). Oxygen-deficient, carbon dioxide-rich blood returns to the right side of the heart through two large veins, the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava. Then the blood is pumped through the pulmonary artery to the lungs, where it picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. Gas Exchange Between Alveoli and Capillaries

To support the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, about 5 to 8 liters (about 1.3 to 2.1 gallons) of air per minute are brought in and out of the lungs, and about three tenths of a liter of oxygen is transferred from the alveoli to the blood each minute, even when the person is at rest.

At the same time, a similar volume of carbon dioxide moves from the blood to the alveoli and is exhaled. During exercise, it is possible to breathe in and out more than 100 liters (about 26 gallons) of air per minute and extract 3 liters (a little less than 1 gallon) of oxygen from this air per minute.

The rate at which oxygen is used by the body is one measure of the rate of energy expended by the body. Breathing in and out is accomplished by respiratory muscles. Gas Exchange Between Alveolar Spaces and Capillaries The function of the respiratory system is to exchange two gases: oxygen and carbon dioxide.

The exchange takes place in the millions of alveoli in the lungs and the capillaries that envelop them. As shown below, inhaled oxygen moves from the alveoli to the blood in the capillaries, and carbon dioxide moves from the blood in the capillaries to the air in the alveoli.

Three processes are essential for the transfer of oxygen from the outside air to the blood flowing through the lungs: ventilation, diffusion, and perfusion.

The body's circulation is an essential link between the atmosphere, which contains oxygen, and the cells of the body, which consume oxygen. For example, the delivery of oxygen to the muscle cells throughout the body depends not only on the lungs but also on the ability of the blood to carry oxygen and on the ability of the circulation to transport blood to muscle.

how much sodium do green pepper have

As a bonus, adding raw green bell peppers to your diet also increases your intake of certain vitamins and minerals. Sodium A 1-cup serving of raw green bell peppers contains 4 milligrams of sodium. That translates to less than 1 percent of your daily 2,300-milligram sodium limit. In fact, you can eat an entire raw green bell pepper and consume just 5 milligrams of sodium.

How Much Sodium Is in Raw Green Bell Peppers?

Related Articles How Much Salt Is in a Tomato? How Much Sodium Is in a Real Carrot? Does Broccoli Have a Lot of Sodium? Does a Potato Have a Lot of Sodium? You've probably heard over and over again that you should cut your sodium intake to improve your health and lower your risk of certain illnesses and diseases. It's sound advice, and eating more vegetables, such as green bell peppers, is one way to do that because fresh veggies are naturally low in sodium.

Sodium Dangers You need small doses of sodium to regulate your blood pressure, as well as to help your nerves and muscles work properly. When you consume more than you need, your kidneys aren't able to get rid of it efficiently. Over time, this can cause sodium to build up in your blood, which increases your blood pressure. High blood pressure puts you at an increased risk for heart disease and stroke. If you already have high blood pressure, heart problems or kidney disease, your doctor might recommend limiting your sodium intake to 1,500 milligrams or less per day to help prevent these potentially life-threatening health problems. Vitamins and Minerals While raw green bell peppers are low in sodium, they are high in other key vitamins and minerals. A 1-cup serving of chopped green peppers contains about 120 milligrams of vitamin C, which is more than the 75 milligrams women need each day and the 90 milligrams men should aim for. Vitamin C helps protect you from infection and aids in wound healing. The same serving of raw green bell pepper delivers 11 micrograms of vitamin K. That's 12 percent of the 90 micrograms women need each day and 9 percent of the 120 micrograms men require. Vitamin K is essential for proper blood clotting. Raw green bell peppers also supply vitamin A for healthy eyes and potassium, which regulates your heart beat. Eating Raw Green Bell Peppers Eat raw green bell pepper strips with hummus or low-fat ranch dressing for dipping, or sprinkle them with fresh black pepper for a tasty and low-sodium side dish. Chop the bell peppers and scatter them over a spinach or pasta salad. Toss diced green pepper with onions, jalapenos and mushrooms for a quick, healthy and low-sodium salad. Stir raw green bell peppers into cooked quinoa or rice to add a boost of flavor and nutrition. References (5)U. S.

does kurt cobain buried or cremated

th. Kurt Cobain Has No Gravesite Kurt Cobain, famous Seattle musician and leader of the 1990s grunge era, was not buried after his death in 1994; his body was cremated, and his ashes were scattered in a memorial ceremony. The exact location where the ashes were scattered has not been revealed to the public.

Where Is Kurt Cobain's Gravesite?

Home Biographies Where Is Kurt Cobain's Gravesite? Where Is Kurt Cobain's Gravesite? Kurt Cobain does not have a gravesite, since he was not buried. Although there isn't a gravesite for Kurt Cobain, there is some information available about what happened to him after his dea

It is, however, the subject of some rumors, and the general understanding is that Cobain’s daughter, Frances Bean, scattered them in a private ceremony at Mc Lane Creek in Olympia, Washington. Who Was Kurt Cobain Those interested in Kurt Cobain may be interested in learning the following: Cobain was best known as the lead singer and songwriter for the band Nirvana. Their distinctive sound was established early within the boundaries of Seattle, Washington, with the release of their first record on a small independent label in 1989. In 1991, the band exploded onto the public scene with nationwide success following the release of their second album, Nevermind. The album’s single, “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” took over MTV and the radio waves, and was the beginning of the true Seattle grunge era of American music. Nirvana is still considered the symbol and spokes-band for Generation X and the children of the 1990s. How Kurt Cobain Died Kurt Cobain had suffered from depression and addictions for most of his life. He was uncomfortable with fame, feeling as though his intentions were being obscured by the public attention and that people didn’t understand his messages. As a withdrawn, private person, he soon found his personal life to be of public interest. None of this helped his natural state of distress and unrest. After the release of another album, In Utero, in 1993, Nirvana was still going strong and Cobain was quickly gaining recognition as a songwriter of unusual depth and intelligence as well as talent. However, his life was already nearing its end; and, for the next few years up until his death, he dealt with heroin addiction problems as well as plenty of invasive media coverage regarding his marriage to musician and well-known tabloid figure Courtney Love. Cobain’s death in April 1994 was a suicide; he was discovered dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at his home in Seattle. He left behind a suicide note that outlined his intentions and the fact that he felt a lack of joy in his life and in the songwriting process, among other reasons. Cobain’s death literally shook the music world and much of the nation. It has been compared to the death of John Lennon in the impact it had on the music scene and, especially, on those fans of Cobain’s generation whose lives had been deeply influenced by his work.

what time of year do most employees choose to retire

However, while the age workers expect to retire is growing, few retirees have been able to delay retirement past age 65. Just 17 percent of the retirees in the Gallup survey left the workforce after age 65. Currently, the average retirement age is 61, up from 57 in 1991. The most popular ages to retire are between 60 and 64 (36 percent). And 31 percent of seniors entered retirement before age 60.

The Ideal Retirement Age

" (i Stock Photo)Retirement at age 65 is no longer the goal for most working Americans. In 2010, for the first time, more Americans said they planned to retire after age 65 than before it, and since then the gap has widened, according to a recent Gallup survey of more than 2,000 U. S. adults, including 636 retirees. More than a third (37 percent) of workers say they expect to retire after 65, up significantly from 14 percent in 1995. Only about a quarter (26 percent) of employees are still aiming to retire at 65. Another quarter (26 percent) of adults are hoping to retire before age 65, down from 49 percent in 1995. [Read: 12 Important Retirement Planning Deadlines . ]People who are closer to age 65 generally project later retirement ages than younger workers. More than half of workers ages 58 to 64 plan to retire after age 65, compared with 36 percent of people in their early 50s, 38 percent of 30- and 40-somethings and just over a quarter (26 percent) of people under age 30. ""People who are very near retirement age in their 50s and 60s are looking at their Social Security benefits, 401 (k) balance, their cost of living, medical costs and food costs and have a better sense of what things might be like when they actually retire,"" says Jeffrey Jones, managing editor of Gallup Poll. ""They are more aware that early retirement might not be as much of a realistic option for people today as it was 30 or 40 years ago. ""Working longer. Individuals are pushing back their retirement age both because they need more time to save and because they enjoy many aspects of their jobs. Three-quarters (76 percent) of employees say they will continue working past retirement age, with 40 percent working because they want to and 35 percent because they will have to, Gallup found. Part-time work in retirement (61 percent) is greatly preferred to a full-time job (15 percent). But only 19 percent of those surveyed plan to completely stop working at retirement age by choice. Individuals with high salaries are the most likely to want to stick with their jobs. Nearly half (49 percent) of those earning $75,000 or more say they plan to work past retirement age because they want to, compared to about a third of people earning less money. In contrast, people earning between $30,000 and $74,999 (39 percent) and especially employees earning less than $30,000 (43 percent) are more likely to continue working in retirement because it's necessary to maintain their standard of living. Medicare eligibility. Qualifying for Medicare plays a big role in many people's retirement decisions. Medicare coverage can start as early as the month you turn age 65. People who retire before age 65 face the risk of being forced to pay high premiums for private health insurance or COBRA coverage, or even being denied health insurance altogether. ""One of the greatest retirement costs people face, even if they are healthy, is medical care and health insurance,"" says Brent Neiser, a certified financial planner and a senior director at the National Endowment for Financial Education in Denver. ""You probably do not want to get out of a reasonable health insurance situation before age 65 because if you have a gap that needs to be filled, it could be very expensive."" [Read: 10 Things Everyone Should Know About Medicare . ]Higher Social Security retirement age. The increasing Social Security retirement age may also be inspiring people to work longer. While you can sign up for Social Security as early as age 62, your payments will be reduced unless you wait until your full retirement age to start payments. The full retirement age is 65 for everyone born in 1937 and earlier, but has since increased to 66 for most baby boomers and will further climb to 67 for everyone born in 1960 or later. ""You are not tapping into the full potential of Social Security if you elect to claim Social Security before age 66 because it is significantly discounted. Some people might call it a haircut,"" Neiser says. ""That smaller amount adds up to thousands and thousands of dollars less throughout your lifetime. ""Social Security monthly payments will further increase if you delay your start date past full retirement age, up until age 70. ""I think people tend to associate when they begin taking Social Security with when they retire, and I think it's really important to decouple those two events,"" says Tim Kober, a certified financial planner for Cedar Financial Advisors in Beaverton, Ore. ""For most families and households, delaying Social Security is the single smartest and most financially savvy decision that you can make because for every year that you delay taking Social Security, your benefit increases 8 percent.""
