Raleigh, NC – October 11, 2017 – Viral video stars the Holderness Family introduce Family Showdown, an action-packed board game in which players race to finish by singing, charading, scavenger-hunting and dominating silly challenges. Millions of viewers from their popular YouTube channel can now play a major part in the launch! Special supporters could even get a special visit from the Holderness Family.
Their primary goal? Lock up your phone and bring your family together in healthy fun through movement, song and creative play. That's why the game rules require players to "lock up" all devices in PHONE JAIL before the Family Showdown fun can begin.
"We created the phone jail because WE needed it. We found ourselves checking emails and texts at times when we should be focused on our family," says Kim Holderness, co-creator of Family Showdown. She adds, "I think the phone jail is one of our children's favorite parts. They know they are getting our uninterrupted attention." Holderness' theory is backed by the American College of Pediatrics per statements in this study.
Perfect for families with kids five and up, Family Showdown aims to bring people together for total fun and engagement without distractions. Players can play individually or form teams. They spin the wheel to select one of the following categories: DO What?!, BlobBlobBlob, Fetch and a Showdown (Mental and Physical).
From acting out clues to singing songs using "Blob" to racing around to "fetch" objects around the house, Family Showdown promises loads of laughs. "Fetch is the best because you get to run around the house. I really like them all but Fetch is my favorite," says 6-year-old Penn Charles.
"I like the showdowns because both teams play," says 9-year-old Lola. "When they are physical challenges I like to beat my brother. I beat him holding a plank for ten minutes" (Mom's note: she did not hold the plank for ten minutes. It was 90 seconds).
So how do you get Family Showdown? The Holderness Family is launching a Kickstarter campaign to get the board game produced. Backers of the new game get access to unique incentives that range from limited-edition characters to your name featured on game cards — there's even a possibility of the Holderness Family actually flying to your town to play the game in person with your family and star in one of their hysterical vlogs!
So, let's play Family Showdown with the Holderness Family!
The Holderness family is a dancing, singing, creatively awesome family whose hilarious videos have made them internet superstars. Nothing is off limits as Penn and Kim and their adorable children Lola and Penn Charles poke fun at themselves in parodies and vlogs about the normal absurdities of everyday life. Receiving national news coverage, the family's popular parodies "XMAS Jammies," "All About That Baste" and "Baby Got Class," and original music "Snow Day" have become YouTube favorites.

I tried to boot from the recovery mode, first time it was successful so I updated the system but the problem still persists and I cannot boot into the system even from recovery mode.
Also giving some error about initramfs decoding failed.

A: After an hour of search, I realized that it was caused because a laptop key was automatically pressed (don't know how the keypress triggered this serious error).
After fixing the keyboard problem (cleaning and reinserting the internal keyboard) the boot problem was automatically solved.

"We were so honoured to even be nominated for the LandLove Awards alongside so many absolutely incredible drinks producers! The heart of Apple Orphanage is our Fruit Exchange, where locals can swap surplus homegrown fruit for our drinks; it's been so rewarding to see this grow year after year, and even nicer to meet some really extraordinary people in the process!"

As a World Heritage Site offering panoramic views and the opportunity to spot some of Britain's most interesting wildlife, it is a destination for all.
"As England's largest national park and also now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Lake District is well-loved and visited by millions of people every year.

Clearly, The North Face is going from strength to strength and are a standout favourite among LandLove readers.

This category is always a close call as each and every charity which is nominated for the award works tirelessly for Britain's wildlife.

"We are thrilled that LandLove readers have chosen The Wildlife Trusts. It's a testament to the work our trusts do throughout the UK to make amazing things happen on land and at sea, for wildlife and for people.

Forest Holidays offers people the chance to take a break in the midst of nature and our luxury woodland cabins are ideal for couples, families and groups of friends.

Harvard Tries to Teach MBAs Gender Manners
Sometimes alpha males, who intend to impress, just look a little silly, to their peers as well as to faculty.
Many people sent me a link to the New York Times story on this year's "experiment" at Harvard Business School: conscious, formal steps were taken to try and change the gender environment of the MBA program.
Congratulations to Dean Nitin Nohria for having the courage to face a problem that I believe occurs at all business schools, but goes largely unremarked and certainly unaddressed. I also think it is important to acknowledge the success that HBS achieved against this intransigent problem, even on the first try: women began speaking up in class, the gender gap in grades evaporated, the number of women winning awards sky-rocketed, and the overall environment improved. This record suggests the program was smartly designed and that it addressed the real causes of a real problem. Credit goes to the administrators who delivered the program and definitely a nod of appreciation should go to the faculty, who agreed to participate.
Going to business school is a little like joining the military. Everywhere, the students and teachers are overwhelmingly men. B-Schools seem to attract a disproportionate number of "alpha males" and there is something about the MBA mystique that makes these guys think they have a license to act out. Being back in a college environment seems to put some into a second adolescence: grown people start doing things like rating their classmates' sex appeal on Facebook. It all begins to smell like a locker room.
Yet most of these folks were normal adults before arriving at school; they have virtually all been out working for a while and nearly all of them know better. So, I think it is especially important that the Harvard program didn't just focus on trying to resocialize the MBAs. Instead, the Harvard Business School considered how their own conditions and practices might contribute to a negative gender environment. Case study teaching, something HBS is especially proud of, was not exempted from scrutiny. And that's good because case teaching is particularly problematic. The students are graded on participation. The males are extremely competitive. They raise their hands more often, and it is hard not to call on them because of their aggressive attitudes. They can be cruelly dismissive of their female classmate's contributions, often not really listening to what the women have said. The females just get quieter and quieter.
The Harvard program dealt with the problem by coaching the females about putting their hands WAY up, but also giving feedback to the faculty so they could see how their own behavior was contributing to the disabling setting and how their own biases were expressed in who they called on and how they evaluated comments.
Business school faculties do tend to be populated with rather conservative males, who are often themselves not the most socially adept people. (Though I must admit that most of my colleagues here at Oxford are pretty progressive and actually pretty cool.) There are very few women on most business school faculties (even Oxford has only six females out of a faculty of more than 60). Qualified women are hard to find at all in some areas and there is a really high attrition rate across the board. Women faculty leave for a variety of reasons, but these are often traceable to unfair practices in faculty assignments, support, and evaluation. The gender situation in the classroom can make an MBA program a terrifying place for a young woman to try and teach. Harvard quite rightly provided coaching for young female professors–but they also acknowledged that there were two sides to the problem by dealing with student behavior and faculty bias as well. In general, though, I was quite pleased by the emphasis in this story on the importance of changing the gender mix among the faculty. You can "teach" students to respect women all you want, but if you don't walk the walk. . .
I often get the sense that the males are constantly looking over their shoulder for the next competitor they may have to thrash. They are just always on their guard. I feel sorry for them, but, hey, the rest of us get caught in the fallout from this primate behavior.
The poisonous little study groups that most B Schools insist on are often a source of tension, too. In some programs, the students are assigned to the groups, with the women, always a minority, carefully parsed out, one to each. So, the females end up isolated and marginalized. I have been told by many students that the men often won't listen respectfully to the women during group sessions, but will make them do all the work. There won't be enough females in any one group to push back. As a result of this practice, the women don't get to know each other, so it often takes them a term before they can muster any solidarity.
I think a key factor in the Harvard success is the open admission there was an institutional problem. So the women didn't have to spend their first term, sitting alone, thinking to themselves: "Am I crazy or is the testosterone level in here toxic?" Recognition of the problem was already out in the open and labelled negatively, so no one individual had to take the risk of standing up alone to speak out. I have observed that the first female MBA to say "enough" usually has to put up with a lot of grief, even if the rest of her class eventually comes around to her view (which they often do).
The more typical response is to deal with female student complaints as if they were individual problems, even when the same issues crop up in a predictable pattern year after year. A woman who is being harassed by her classmates may be "supported" by a kind listener, but those who taunt her will very seldom be confronted. Or, sometimes, there will be inspirational and motivational "training" events for the women–which implies that any problems are due to deficits in the females rather than biases and bad behavior among the males. I admire the Harvard program for going beyond the window dressing that passes for reform in other business schools (and companies).
My own experience suggests that the problematic behavior is so subtle in the beginning of an MBA program that the women at first doubt their own judgment as to whether they should complain. They don't want to overreact, but they are offended by, for instance, the tone someone takes when speaking to them in class. Very often, a large number of the males are also offended, but are completely flummoxed as to what they should do. When there is no outward expression of disapproval, the aggressive party takes that as permission and gets worse. The situation deteriorates until many, male and female, are extremely unhappy. The whole time, the only people who are utterly unaware of how offensive the situation has become are the perpetrators.
I am sure there are students at Harvard who feel they didn't deserve to be put through this gender re-training. But when I read one student in the New York Times complaining that Harvard's resocializing efforts treated him like a child, I couldn't help but think he probably needed that level of reprogramming. The ones who don't "get it" really don't get it. Most of the rest of the students, male and female, usually have 21st century attitudes and very much prefer to work in a friendly environment.
Some of the folks who complain about being re-socialized have behaved as if they were raised by wolves.
Perhaps the most important thing, though, about this Harvard "experiment" is that it demonstrated something many people still don't want to accept: that the small number of women and their relatively lower achievements in business schools can be improved dramatically by changing the environment–which tells us that the problem is the environment, not the women. (Let me emphasize again that everybody in the B School world has this problem. It is not unique to HBS.)
Our own students start the new year in a few weeks. I hope they all see the press about this HBS "experiment." And I hope it makes them just a tiny bit more careful about how they treat each other. I wish the faculty, too, would see this report and resolve to try to defuse and balance the inequality in their classrooms. I would love to see my own school tackle this issue in a more proactive way. More than anything, I hope this coverage reassures the females to trust their judgment and to reach out, lock arms, and go through this experience together.


The desire to see UCLA move on from head coach Steve Alford is growing stronger by the day. As the results keep worsening, the backlash in Bruins nation keeps growing. In Chicago yesterday, UCLA suffered yet another lop-sided defeat, this time at the hands of #15 Ohio State by the score of 80-66. UCLA were slight underdogs coming into this contest, and if you're going to be doing some sports betting, via online casino canada you will see the Bruins as heavy underdogs in most games going forward.
When the NCAA Tournament, or "March Madness" gets here, it's a sports gambler's paradise, and one that UCLA will almost certainly not be a part of. Anybody who watched their game yesterday will tell you that it was much more one-sided than that final score would indicate. The blowout dropped the Bruins to a record of just 7-5 on the season.
It's always a massive struggle to generate mainstream interest in college basketball before February (and it always will be), but events like the CBS Sports Classic have the right idea. Football and the holidays will always be top of mind in December, and by a considerable margin, but the more marquee match-ups you can get schedule before conference season begins the better.
The #15 Ohio State Buckeyes will play their second game in just 17 days at Chicago's United Center, and this one, 2 pm on Saturday against the UCLA Bruins, figures to draw a much bigger crowd than the previous contest. OSU handily beat the home state Illinois Fighting Illini, a once proud program that has completely fallen off the map, in front of pretty much just friends and family that Wednesday evening.
Mark Twain famously said that history doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme. Today's college football playoff debate does in fact rhyme with the BCS, and the AP/UPI/Coaches/Insert Poll Name Here era of "deciding" the national champion. When it comes to the college football postseason, it's all about the click-bait, and conflict, of course moves the needle.
The same will hold true if/when they go to 8, and then if when they go to 16. Today it's about #5 and #6 getting shout out. In the future it will be about #9 getting shafted, and then #17 getting left out; if and when it comes to that. It may not because the more teams you add, the fewer the number of deserving teams get jobbed.
The 2018 Big Ten Championship Game will feature the #6 Ohio State Buckeyes versus the #19 Northwestern Wildcats, a match-up of two teams at opposite ends of the league spectrum on several dimensions. OSU has arguably the largest and most zealous fan base in the league; NU not so much.
This week is rivalry week in college football. Which conjures up memories of the Toledo War and the Frostbitten Convention.
This weekend brings awesome games with cool names like "The Iron Bowl" (Alabama-Auburn) and "The Holy War" (BYU-Utah). But only one of these rivalry games can claim an actual war in the history of its geographic region. That's the Michigan Wolverines vs. the Ohio State Buckeyes, or "The Game," as it's called.
The Toledo War is one of the many reasons ESPN Classic is running a marathon of past tOSU-UM games today.
Monday saw Ohio State Head Coach Urban Meyer hold his first press briefing since he finished serving the three game suspension handed to him by the University. He was suspended due to his mishandling of the domestic abuse allegations leveled against now former assistant coach Zach Smith, who has had a working relationship with Meyer since 2002.
When Meyer took to the podium, he did the same thing that he's been doing every single time he's discussed the Zach Smith fiasco- making things worse for himself and his employer- the Ohio State University. Meyer has dug himself a hole, and his way of trying to get out of it is by digging further.


Here's a bunch of frequently asked questions, that should hopefully answer your questions before you decide to ask something that has already been answered.
The Skyrim Special Edition version can be found here.
Q: Do I need to use the .esp?
1) You're modding wrong, you should never have that many mods installed.
2) If you absolutely must, you can use xEdit to merge minor mods together (such as this one, with, for example Beards and other similar mods).
Q: Can I get permission to use your brows on a follower mod of my own?
A: Please refer to the permissions section under and read carefully. But the short answer is yes.
Q: Can you make eyebrows match hair color?
A: They already do, if you have enabled the Brows.esp you'll have a wide range selection of eyebrows that comes in vanilla shade, darker shades and lighter shades (to match hair color).
For one week, counting today I'm hosting a competition over at my Discord channel, to have the best Brows related screenshots featured on Brows as main pictures in the gallery. If you want to participate, head over to my Discord server for more information.
Dear Hvergelmir Mod friends. Don't worry, 4.0 is also coming for legacy Skyrim, although I don't actively support legacy Skyrim any more. I hope to have a release ready very soon, stay tuned.
May i have your permission to port your excellent mod to the Special Edition? It's for personal use only, of course.
I appreciate you asking for permission, to port the mod to SE for personal use. Many people have however already done it for their own personal use and as long as it's just for you, I don't see any problem with it. I am releasing a proper release for SE within the next few weeks however.
Looking forward to your conversion.
Can I use this for Special Edition? If yes, how?
Would love an SE port as well! Haven't found any brow mods for SE that look this good, and I'm no good at porting mods over to SE (tried, and failed miserably).
Technically this works absolutely fine with SE, but I'm coming out with a new version soon.
couldn't you just make an optional version as in add your designs in without replacing the vanilla as an option?
No. These look significantly better than vanilla brows.
anyone know why the eyebrows seem to clip/sink into the head closest to the nose area? im using the ningheim race, have the correct addon. Vampire maybe? after character creation its fine but after a couple hours this happens.
I haven't noticed this with the Ningheim race female I've been playing.
i was playing around with racemenu sliders and not sure what i did but its working fine now. I think its got something to do with the demoniac oily body/head that i replaced on the toon i made. I made a oily head cause it just looked stupid. i believe thats what caused the eyebrows to not line up on the face right. All good now. Good mod. Its staying permanantly.
@ Hvergelmer... Anyone ever tell you that you look just like Braun Strowman from wwe wrestling? Holy [email protected]#%. Closest ive ever seen. Cool.
I've heard that. I didn't know who that was until someone started mentioning it. And I'm honestly not a fan of that comparison. I look nothing like the guy.
Didn't mean to offend you. I only mentioned it being he's one of my top 5 idols. And I noticed similarities. Hair, beard. Anyways, I apologise.
No worries. I've just heard it way too many times (not on here though). To the point it started getting annoying.
Really digging the look of the additional brows -- thanks for the mod!!
u will either crash if u messed up the meshes, or get black face (which usually includes a crash) also if u dont resave the esp in the CK u can get a crash, and LOOT and if u use MO2 and/or Wrye Bash won't function properly, eg: loot will screw up load order if a mod is Form 43. Usually wrye bash will have a pop up when u open the mod in it to tell u it is old form.
All my eyebrows are shiny/glossy. No idea why.


In today's society kids hardly get to enjoy their childhood, as they are faced with mounting pressures at school, within their family and among their peers. Children are overexposed to violence and deprived of lessons on self-love and inner peace... but imagine a world where they are given tools to speak their truth, follow their hearts and above all believe in themselves.
You see, deep inside every one of us is a light that shines brightly when we are aligned with our higher self - our absolute best self. When we allow fear to drive our action, we dim that light within. Yet when we believe in ourselves, speak our truth and do what feels right in our hearts, we ignite the light and become the best possible version of ourselves.

So today is my birthday for all who really care. Not that I have much in the way of plans. Spent the last hour playing Puzzle Pirates [if you play, I play as Tresni in Sage Ocean] :D Now I must get ready for work. I should have cleaned the house a little, it's a mess, but it's my birthday and I don't wanna.
The least i can do is return the birthday greeting, Happy Birthday! Here's wishing you the best!

"With Yoron Israel, you're guaranteed exemplary taste and deep swing, no matter what the groove."
– Jeff Potter, Modern Drummer Magazine
"Israel belongs to the select group of drummers, Art Blakey, Max Roach, Paul Motian and Ronald Shannon Jackson among them – who approach bandleading with fresh and distinctive vision. In both his playing and his writing he avoids clutter, and he has succeeded in creating a band very much in his own image; embracing traditional values without aping past designs. It has a spare, concise quality even at its busiest."
– Neil Tesser, Chicago Reader
"A drummer who has good taste, a sense of direction and a feeling of joy in his drumming, compositions and arrangements. Yoron Israel, in my mind, is an important voice you should listen to."
– Jack DeJohnette

Many social events have a guest list that includes out of towners. Like most people living in the Washington DC area, you may not be from here originally so your guest list may include more out of town guests than most. In that case, you will want to set up a block of rooms at a convenient hotel. Here are a few terms the hotel may use in the course of contracting and managing your room block.
Pick-up is the number of rooms from your block that are actually reserved by your guests. You may contract a block of 20 rooms but only 8 guests actually reserve rooms. You would have a pick-up of 8.
Most hotels start an initial social block around 20 rooms – even when the client indicates that they may require significantly more rooms. This is due to experience with average social blocks that traditionally have a low pick-up. They may "book" 20 rooms on your contract but in their own system, they may net the block down a certain percentage, sometimes even as low as 50% so your "blocked" or "netted" number of rooms may be as few as 10 – 16 in reality. Ask about this up front so you can monitor pick-up on your own to avoid having that next guest call for a room and be told that the block is sold out.
Attrition is the loss of guest room pick-up from the initial block. Often, the attrition percentage on your contract will also be the netted number of rooms. Say you start with a contracted 20 rooms per night. Per your contract and hotel policy, you may be responsible for a minimum number of rooms perhaps 16 rooms per night. 16 rooms per night will likely also be the netted number of rooms entered into the sales system for reservations purposes as well. Any pick-up lower than 16 may activate an attrition clause from your contract requiring you to pay the difference. So, if you only pick up 12 rooms per night, you pay some penalty up to the value of 4 rooms per night – the difference between the 16 minimum rooms per night you agreed to and the 12 you actually got.
Many hotels waive attrition penalties on social blocks but often only if your block remains within their approved maximum range. If you require a greater number of rooms at the outset, they may inform you that attrition will not be waived in that case. Additionally, attrition may apply more frequently to hotels in resort areas or during peak demand time such as local graduations, inauguration, Memorial weekend, etc.


You have reached Matt Dianich's website on Shakespeare's Sonnets. If you enjoy Shakespeare and have questions on some of the sonnets, then you've come to the right place. Here you'll find the texts of a few sonnets that are among my favorite coupled with notes, from _Shakespeare's Sonnets_, Edited by W.G.Ingram and Theodore Redpath, and my interpretations of them. So if you're looking for their meanings, want to clear up a few ambiguities that are presented, wish to know the origins and inspiration for the sonnets, or just want to see what I have to say--read on!
Also, if you have any specific sonnets that you would like to see here that are not already on this page, email me with the sonnet numbers (address at the bottom of the page) and I will do my best to put them on in the same fashion.


When two parents share responsibility for a child after a divorce or legal separation, they are said to have joint child custody. There are two types of joint child custody that can be granted: joint physical custody and joint legal custody. Physical refers to where the child will physically live, and in this case would live jointly between both parents' homes. Legal refers to who has the responsibility of decisions for the child's life and well-being, and in this case, both parents would share that responsibility.
It is common to have joint child custody as it typically benefits the child the most. It may also be common to have joint legal custody with sole physical custody, meaning that the child primarily lives with one parent but both parents equally share in the decisions and responsibility for the child.
If two parents cannot agree on custody arrangements, the decision will be up to the court to make. Joint child custody may not be favorable if one parent wishes to move out of town or state, if one parents feels that having the other parent involved directly will prevent him or her from moving on, if the joint child custody causes the child stress of moving back and forth, or if one parent is not as responsible as the other. Once child custody is determined, it can be very difficult to challenge or change in the future.
Custody battles can be strenuous, complicated and long. It is unfair to put a child through unnecessary disputes of custody after going through a divorce or separation. Seeking the council of a family law attorney can help make the process smoother, easier and faster. A family lawyer knows the ins and outs of joint child custody laws and will properly evaluate your case and help you determine what would be best for you and your family.

Up till now, my soaps have been colored naturally.
I've used cream occasionally from our goat milk to make soap, and discovered that it makes a whiter soap. Who'd have guessed? This is Cranberries & Cream.
Vanilla oils will darken the soap color. This is Summer Sorbet, a combination of lime, watermelon, and vanilla fragrances. The scent is totally unexpected compared to its appearance - it's totally yummy-smelling.
This light celery green is my Herbal soap, made with herb-infused oils that give it that green color.
This was a coloring experiment that did turn out ok: red oxide mixed with half of the soap. I'll be doing this one again, in my new mold. It's called Oklahoma Sunset.
I don't like it. At all. It looks like mud, and not even Oklahoma red mud, just mud. I'm sure it's because of the natural color of the goat milk soap, sort of a blue + natural brown/yellow = muddy green thing. I definitely prefer to stick with the natural colorants.
It was back to the drawing board, and I decided to stick with an uncolored soap for this scent. I made the above bar with water instead of goat milk so that it would be white, and super-fatted it a bit more than usual. This was my first attempt at using water for soapmaking. Most people start with water and then move to milk soaps, but I did it backwards, and have been making goat milk soap exclusively for years.
Because I have more experience with the natural colorants, I feel more comfortable with them, and prefer them to colorants made with who-knows-what. I've also used cinnamon in brown soaps as both a colorant and an exfoliant, and paprika for an orange-y color. I haven't yet found anything that will give a blue or purple color, which is what I wanted for the lavender soap.


Last night Greg, Moby, and I were curled up in bed while the wind was howling, literally – howling, outside. Greg and I were plotting what would happen if a tree fell on our house – we both wished it would fall right on our kitchen, so we would have insurance money to remodel. Of course this would only be a brilliant plan if no one was hurt and our beloved mug collection didn't break. After chatting about kitchen cupboards and whether or not a dishwasher was worth it, we rolled over and did what we always do before bed: read. Greg opened up a typical-Greg book of intellectual ramblings and a vocabulary only brilliant people could understand. My eyes buzzed over into the glow of my ipad as I read pinterest.
A few minutes into his book and seven or eight house pins later, Greg picked up my ipad and replaced it with the mystery he picked out for me at the library. And that is how I finished a third book in the month of January.
How Children Succeed by Paul Tough: My co-workers at Kids on Course and I read this book. If you're in education, are a parent, or work with youth, I'd highly recommend picking this up. Paul Tough is kind of my "save the world" hero – I also read his other book, Whatever It Takes, which details the story of Geoffrey Canada and Harlem Children's Zone. Tough talks about how kids need character and resilience to make it through life. "As she saw it, her job was not to prevent them from failing; it was to teach them how to learn from each failure, how to stare at their failures with unblinking honesty, how to confront exactly why they had messed up" (p. 183).
Claire Dewitt and the Bohemian Highway by Sara Gran: We were at the library two minutes before closing and I told Greg I wanted a "fun book" to read – my way of saying, a fiction book as I usually pour into nerdy marketing books. Greg pulled this off the shelf and said, "I've heard she's good. You'll like it." Brilliant man that he is, I did like it. I love mysteries and even though this was book two (I ALWAYS do that…), it was both fun and engaging to read. If you like mysteries with a little bit of romance, it's a good fit.
Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me by Mindy Kaling: After watching The Mindy Project and being a dedicated Office fan for about two years in college, I've been wanting to read this book. Mindy is hilarious and writes about how she landed her first job with The Office and details other mishaps of becoming famous. This definitely has a flair of Bossypants by Tina Fey (also a favorite), but Mindy's unique fashionista voice is evident in every page.

Кость () — твёрдый орган позвоночных животных. Состоит из нескольких тканей, важнейшей из которых является костная. Кость выполняет опорно-механическую и защитную функции, является составной частью эндоскелета позвоночных, производит красные и белые кровяные клетки, сохраняет минералы. Костная ткань — одна из разновидностей плотной соединительной ткани.

Кости обладают большим разнообразием форм и размеров, зависящих от функции конкретной кости. Каждая обладает сложной структурой, благодаря чему они достаточно лёгкие, но при этом жёсткие и прочные. Кость может включать в свою структуру: костный мозг, эндост, надкостницу, нервы, кровеносные сосуды, хрящи.

Кости состоят из различных клеток костной ткани: остеобласты участвуют в создании и минерализации костей, остеоциты поддерживают структуру, а остеокласты обеспечивают резорбцию костной ткани. Минерализованная матрица костной ткани имеет органическую составляющую в основном из коллагена и неорганическую составляющую костной ткани из различных солей.

В человеческом теле при рождении более 270 костей, но многие из них срастаются в процессе роста, оставляя в общей сложности 206 отдельных костей во взрослом организме (не считая многочисленные мелкие сесамовидные кости). Бедренная кость — самая большая кость в теле человека, самая маленькая — стремя в среднем ухе.

Химический состав кости
Костное вещество состоит из органических (оссеин) — 1/3 и неорганических (2/3) (главным образом солей кальция, 95 %) веществ.

В состав костей входят как органические, так и неорганические вещества; количество первых тем больше, чем моложе организм; в связи с этим кости молодых животных отличаются гибкостью и мягкостью, а кости взрослых — твёрдостью. Отношение между обеими составными частями представляет различие в разных группах позвоночных; так, в кости рыб, особенно глубоководных, содержание минеральных веществ относительно мало, и они отличаются мягким волокнистым строением.

У взрослого человека количество минеральных составных частей (главным образом, гидроксиапатита) составляет около 60—70 % веса кости, а органическое вещество (главным образом коллаген тип I) — 30—40 %. Кости имеют большую прочность и громадное сопротивление сжатию, чрезвычайно долго противостоят разрушению и принадлежат к числу самых распространённых остатков ископаемых животных. При прокаливании кость теряет органическое вещество, но сохраняет свою форму и строение; подвергая кость действию кислоты (например соляной), можно растворить минеральные вещества и получить гибкий органический (коллагеновый) остов кости.

При сжигании кость чернеет с выделением углерода, который остаётся после разложения органических веществ. При дальнейшем выгорании углерода получается белый твёрдый хрупкий остаток.

У пожилых людей в костях увеличивается доля минеральных веществ, из-за этого их кости становятся более хрупкими (остеопороз).

Клеточное строение

По микроскопическому строению костное вещество представляет особый вид соединительной ткани (в широком смысле слова), костную ткань, характерные признаки которой: твёрдое, пропитанное минеральными солями волокнистое межклеточное вещество и звездчатые, снабжённые многочисленными отростками, клетки.

Основу кости составляют коллагеновые волокна, окруженные кристаллами гидроксиапатита, которые слагаются в пластинки. Пластинки эти в костном веществе частью располагаются концентрическими слоями вокруг длинных разветвляющихся каналов (Гаверсовы каналы), частью лежат между этими системами, частью обхватывают целые группы их или тянутся вдоль поверхности кости. Гаверсов канал в сочетании с окружающими его концентрическими костными пластинками считается структурной единицей компактного вещества кости — остеоном. Параллельно поверхности этих пластинок в них расположены слои маленьких звездообразных пустот, продолжающихся в многочисленные тонкие канальцы — это так называемые «костные тельца», в которых находятся костные клетки, дающие отростки в канальцы. Канальцы костных телец соединяются между собой и с полостью Гаверсовых каналов, внутренними полостями и надкостницей, и таким образом вся костная ткань оказывается пронизанной непрерывной системой наполненных клетками и их отростками полостей и канальцев, по которым и проникают необходимые для жизни кости питательные вещества. По Гаверсовым каналам проходят тонкие кровеносные сосуды (обычно артерия и вена); стенка Гаверсова канала и наружная поверхность кровеносных сосудов одеты тонким слоем эндотелия, а промежутки между ними служат лимфатическими путями кости. Губчатое костное вещество не имеет Гаверсовых каналов.

Костная ткань рыб представляет некоторые отличия: Гаверсовых каналов здесь нет, а канальцы костных телец сильно развиты.

Остеобласты

Остеобласты — молодые остеобразующие клетки костей (диаметр 15-20 мкм), которые синтезируют межклеточное вещество — матрикс. По мере накопления межклеточного вещества остеобласты замуровываются в нём и становятся остеоцитами. Родоначальником являются адвентициальные клетки.

Остеоциты

Остеоциты — клетки костной ткани позвоночных животных и человека, значительно или полностью утратившие способность синтезировать органический компонент матрикса.

Они имеют отростчатую форму, округлое плотное ядро и слабобазофильную цитоплазму. Органоидов мало, клеточного центра нет — клетки утратили способность к делению. Они располагаются в костных полостях, или лакунах, повторяющих контуры остеоцита, и имеют длину 22-25 мкм, а ширину 6-14 мкм. Во все стороны от лакун отходят слегка ветвящиеся канальцы костных полостей, анастомозирующие (сообщающиеся) между собой и с периваскулярными пространствами сосудов, идущих внутри кости. В пространстве между отростками остеоцитов и стенками канальцев содержится тканевая жидкость, движению которой способствуют «пульсирующие» колебания остеоцитов и их отростков. Остеоциты — единственная живая и активно функционирующая клетка в зрелой костной ткани, их роль заключается в стабилизации органического и минерального состава кости, обмене веществ (в том числе в транспортировке ионов Са из кости в кровь и обратно). Костная ткань, не содержащая живых остеоцитов, быстро разрушается.

Остеокласты

Клетки гематогенного происхождения, образующиеся из моноцитов. Может содержать от 2 до 50 ядер. Организация остеокласта адаптирована к разрушению кости. В сочетании с остеобластами, остеокласты контролируют количество костной ткани (остеобласты создают новую костную ткань, а остеокласты разрушают старую)

Строение кости

В скелете человека различают по форме длинные, короткие, плоские и смешанные кости, также есть кости пневматические и сесамовидные. Расположение костей в скелете связано с выполняемой ими функцией: «Кости построены так, что при наименьшей затрате материала обладают наибольшей крепостью, легкостью, по возможности уменьшая влияние толчков и сотрясений» (П. Ф. Лесгафт).

Длинные кости, ossa longa, имеют вытянутую, трубчатую среднюю часть, называемую диафизом, diaphysis, состоящую из компактного вещества. Внутри диафиза имеется костномозговая полость, cavitas medullaris, с жёлтым костным мозгом. На каждом конце длинной кости находится эпифиз, epiphysis, заполненный губчатым веществом с красным костным мозгом. Между диафизом и эпифизом располагается метафиз, metaphysis. В период роста кости здесь находится хрящ, который позже окостеневает. Длинные трубчатые кости составляют в основном скелет конечностей. Костные выступы на эпифизах, которые являются местом прикрепления мышц и связок, называются апофизами (apophysis).

Плоские кости, ossa plana, состоят из тонкого слоя губчатого вещества, покрытого снаружи компактным веществом. Они различны по происхождению: лопатка и тазовая кость развиваются из хряща, а плоские кости крыши черепа — из соединительной ткани.

Короткие кости, ossa brevia, состоят из губчатого вещества, покрытого снаружи тонким слоем компактного вещества. Одной большой костно-мозговой полости эти кости не имеют. Красный костный мозг располагается в мелких губчатых ячейках, разделённых костными балками. Короткие кости запястья и предплюсны способствуют большей подвижности кистей и стоп.

Смешанные кости, ossa irregularia, находятся в различных отделах скелета (позвоночник, череп). В них сочетаются элементы коротких и плоских костей (основная часть и чешуя затылочной кости, тело позвонка и его отростки, каменистая часть и чешуя височной кости). Такие особенности обусловлены различием происхождения и функции частей этих костей.

Пневматические кости, или воздухоносные, — кости, которые имеют внутри полость, выстланную слизистой оболочкой и заполненную воздухом, что облегчает вес кости, не уменьшая её прочности.

Сесамовидные кости — это кости, вставленные в сухожилия мышц и поэтому увеличивающие плечо силы мышц, способствующие усилению их действия.

Поверхность кости может иметь различные углубления (бороздки, ямки и т. д.) и возвышения (углы, края, ребра, гребни, бугорки и т. п.). Неровности служат для соединения костей между собой или для прикрепления мускулов и бывают тем сильнее развиты, чем более развита мускулатура. На поверхности находятся так называемые «питательные отверстия» (Foramina nutricia), через которые входят внутрь кости нервы и кровеносные сосуды.

В костях различают компактное и губчатое костное вещество. Первое отличается однородностью, твёрдостью и составляет наружный слой кости; оно особенно развито в средней части трубчатых костей и утончается к концам; в широких костях оно составляет 2 пластинки, разделённые слоем губчатого вещества; в коротких оно в виде тонкой плёнки одевает кость снаружи. Губчатое вещество состоит из пластинок, пересекающихся в различных направлениях, образуя систему полостей и отверстий, которые в середине длинных костей сливаются в большую полость.

Наружная поверхность кости одета так называемой надкостницей (Periosteum), оболочкой из соединительной ткани, содержащей кровеносные сосуды и особые клеточные элементы, служащие для питания, роста и восстановления кости.

Костный мозг

Внутренние полости кости содержат мягкую, нежную, богатую клетками и снабжённую кровеносными сосудами массу, называемую костным мозгом (у птиц часть полостей наполнена воздухом). Различают три его вида: слизистый (желатинозный), красный (или часто — миелоидный), и жёлтый или жировой (наиболее распространённый). Основную форму составляет красный костный мозг, в нём наблюдается нежная соединительно-тканная основа, богатая сосудами, очень похожие на лейкоциты костномозговые или лимфатические клетки, клетки, окрашенные гемоглобином и считаемые за переход к красным кровяным тельцам, бесцветные клетки, содержащие внутри красные шарики, и многоядерные крупные («гигантские») клетки, так называемые миэлопласты.

Красный (деятельный) костный мозг — это миелоидная ткань, которая, как и лимфоидная, состоит из двух основных компонентов: стромального — строма, служащая микроокружением для гемопоэтических (кроветворных) клеток, и гемального — форменные элементы крови на разных стадиях развития.

Строма образована ретикулярной тканью, остеогенными, тучными, жировыми, адвентициальными, эндотелиальными клетками и межклеточным веществом.

Желтый (недеятельный) костный мозг — это жировая ткань с отдельными островками (стромами) ретикулярной ткани. Он находится в костномозговых каналах трубчатых костей и в частях ячеек губчатого вещества костей.

Слизистый костный мозг — студенистая, слизистая, бедная клетками консистенция. Он образуется в развивающихся костях черепа и лица.

При отложении в стромальный компонент основы жира и уменьшении числа миелоидных элементов красный мозг переходит в жёлтый, а при исчезновении жира и миелоидных элементов он приближается к слизистому.

Костный мозг не имеет ничего общего с головным и спинным мозгом. Он не относится к нервной системе и не имеет нейронов.

Костный мозг является важнейшим кроветворным органом.

Развитие и рост костей

Развитие кости происходит двумя способами:
 из соединительной ткани;
 на месте хряща.

Из соединительной ткани развиваются кости свода и боковых отделов черепа, нижняя челюсть и, по мнению некоторых, ключицы и лопатки (а у низших позвоночных и некоторые другие) — это так называемые покровные, или облегающие, кости. Они развиваются прямо из соединительной ткани; волокна её несколько сгущаются, между ними появляются костные клетки, и в промежутках между последними отлагаются известковые соли; образуются сначала островки костной ткани, которые затем сливаются между собой. Большинство костей скелета развивается из хрящевой основы, имеющей такую же форму, что и будущая кость. Хрящевая ткань подвергается процессу разрушения, всасывания, и вместо неё образуется, при деятельном участии особого слоя образовательных клеток (остеобластов), костная ткань; процесс этот может идти как с поверхности хряща, от одевающей его оболочки, перихондрия, превращающегося затем в надкостницу, так и внутри его. Обыкновенно развитие костной ткани начинается в нескольких точках, в трубчатых костях отдельными точками окостенения обладают эпифизы и диафиз.

Рост кости в длину происходит главным образом в частях ещё не окостеневших (в трубчатых костях между эпифизами и диафизом), но отчасти и путём отложения новых частиц ткани между существующими («интуссусцепция»), что доказывают повторные измерения расстояний между вбитыми в кость остриями, питательными отверстиями и т. п.; утолщение костей происходит путём отложения на поверхности кости новых слоев («аппозиция»), благодаря деятельности остеобластов надкостницы. Эта последняя обладает в высокой степени способностью воспроизводить разрушенные и удалённые части кости. Деятельностью её обусловливается и срастание переломов. Параллельно с ростом кости идёт разрушение, всасывание (резорбция) некоторых участков костной ткани, причём деятельную роль играют так называемые остеокласты («клетки, разрушающие кость»).

Однополые союзы в США существуют в различных формах во всех штатах и территориях, за исключением Американского Самоа. Во всех штатах легализованы однополые браки, в то время как гетеросексуальные партнеры имеют возможность заключить гражданские союзы, семейные партнерства или взаимные отношения бенефициаров. Федеральное правительство признает только брак и никакой другой законный союз для однополых пар.

Гавайи были первым штатом, признавшим ограниченные легальные однополые союзы, сделав это в 1997 году в форме взаимного партнерства бенефициаров.

Федеральный закон
Правовые вопросы, связанные с однополыми браками в Соединенных Штатах, осложняются федеральной системой государственного управления страны. Традиционно федеральное правительство не пытается установить свое собственное определение брака. Вместо этого любой брак, признанный государством, признавался федеральным правительством, даже если этот брак не признавался одним или несколькими другими штатами (как это было в случае с межрасовыми браками до 1967 года из-за анти-смешанных законов). По данным Федерального управления подотчетности правительства (GAO), более 1138 прав и льгот предоставляются федеральным правительством американским гражданам, вступивших в брак. Затронутые области включают пособия по социальному обеспечению, пособия ветеранам, медицинское страхование, программу медицинской помощи нуждающимся (Медикейд), посещение больниц, налоги на имущество, пенсионные накопления, пенсии, отпуск по семейным обстоятельствам и иммиграционное законодательство.

Федеральный закон о защите брака 1996 года, вызванный опасениями неблагоприятного результата в иске штата Гавайи "Байер против Майка", четко определил брак как союз одного мужчины и одной женщины для целей всех федеральных законов (см. 1 U.S.C. § 7), который в конечном счете был признан неконституционным Верховным судом США в деле США против Виндзора 26 июня 2013 года. В результате вскоре после того, как было принято решение в вышеупомянутом деле, ряд федеральных льгот, начиная от ветеранских пособий и заканчивая иммиграцией, были уточнены как применяющиеся в равной степени к однополым парам.

Брак
Движение за получение гражданских брачных прав и льгот для однополых пар в Соединенных Штатах началось в 1970-х годах, но оставалось безуспешным в течение более сорока лет. 17 мая 2004 года Массачусетс стал первым штатом США и шестой юрисдикцией в мире, легализовавшей однополые браки после решения Верховного суда шестью месяцами ранее. До общенациональной легализации однополые браки стали законными в 37 штатах; 25 Штатов - по решению суда, 10 - законодательным актом и 3 - референдумом. Некоторые Штаты узаконили однополые браки более чем одним из этих трех вариантов.

26 июня 2015 года Верховный суд США постановил в деле «Обергефелл против Ходжеса», что Штаты должны легализовать и признавать однополые браки. Следовательно, однополые браки являются законными во всех 50 штатах, округе Колумбия, Пуэрто-Рико, Гуаме, Виргинских островах США и Северных Марианских островах. Официальные лица Американского Самоа обсуждают вопрос о том, распространяется ли это постановление на эту территорию; в настоящее время однополые браки там не легализованы и не признаются.

Индейские племенные нации
Решение Верховного суда о легализации однополых браков в Штатах и территориях не легализовало однополые браки на землях коренных американцев. В Соединенных Штатах Конгресс (а не федеральные суды) имеет законную власть над территорией индейцев. Таким образом, если Конгресс не примет закон, легализующий однополые браки для индейских племен, федерально признанные индейские племена имеют законное право формировать свои собственные законы о браке. На момент принятия решения по делу «Обергефелл против Ходжеса» 24 племенных государства юридически признавали однополые браки. Некоторые племена приняли законы, конкретно касающиеся однополых отношений, а некоторые уточняют, что племенные браки регулируются законами и юрисдикцией Штатов.

Гражданские союзы
Гражданские союзы являются средством установления родства таким же образом, как и брак. Формальности для вступления в Гражданский Союз, а также выгоды и обязанности сторон, как правило, аналогичны или идентичны тем, которые относятся к браку. Различные названия используются для подобных отношений в других штатах, но гражданский союз был впервые применен в Вермонте.

Признание Верховным судом недействительным раздела 3 DOMA в 2013 году усилило разницу между браком и гражданскими союзами; в то время как брак обеспечивает федеральные льготы, гражданские союзы этого не делают.

После легализации однополых браков в их юрисдикции Вермонт, Коннектикут, Нью-Гэмпшир, Род-Айленд и Делавэр перестали предлагать гражданские союзы.

Гражданские союзы все еще легальны на Гавайях, в Иллинойсе, Нью-Джерси и Колорадо; гражданские союзы также все еще легальны в шести муниципалитетах Аризоны.

Here's the truth about scientists dating the remains of ancient man! It is time you were told the real purpose of science in claiming man has been on earth so long. Read the startling answer!
Many have wondered about the accurancy of radiocarbon dating, which claims great age for the remains of prehistoric men.
We are asked:"You say that man has been here for only 6,000 years; but scientist claim up to 200,000 years.Your whole teaching is predicated upon a Biblical record that is in sharp disagreement with science."
"You substantiate your claim by the Bible. But doesn't the scientist know through radiocarbon dating that man has been here longer than the Bible states."
DO YOU WONDER HOW THE SCIENTIST KNOW MAN HAS BEEN ON EARTH OVER 6,000 YEARS? THE ANSWER IS HE DOESN'T KNOW! HE GUESSES!
Why does he accept assumptions and believe as he does? Because he wants to. He does not want to believe God. He looks for excuses to doubt what God reveals. It is as simple as that.
Radiocarbon dating is presently the most popular of several methods scientist use in trying to convince the public that prehistoric man's remains are much older than God's account of creation allows.
Radiocarbon dating is not based upon fact, but on three assumptions:
1) That an accurate half life for carbon 14 is precisely measurable.
2) That cosmic radiation has been constant for many thousands of years.
3) That the nitrogen supply available to be acted on by this radiation has been constant.
These three factors are all pure assumptions, not fact. Scientist even openly admit the second and third are assumptions. (America magazine, March 18, 1961, page 782)
As support for the theory of evolution, science devised the method of counting the supposed age of prehistoric man by means of radiocarbon dating. It is done by comparing the proportionate amounts of ordinary carbon (carbon 12) with radioactive carbon 14 in organic remains left by prehistoric man.
Living organisms contain a certain portion of unchanging, ordinary carbon 12, and a minute portion of radioactive carbon 14. How does carbon 14 originate? It is produced when cosmic radiation from outer space hits the nitrogen in the earth's atmosphere. A portion of the nitrogen is transformed into radioactive carbon 14.
The proportions of the two types of carbon in living matter depend upon their relative proportions in the earth's air and water in which the living matter existed. When an organism dies, the carbon 12 in it remains the same. But the carbon 14, being radioactive, begins to diminish in quantity by degeneration, or disintrgration.
The whole theory is predicated on the assumption that half of a given quantity of radioactive carbon 14 disintegrates in 5568 years, half the remaining amount in another 5568 years, and so on. Thus this period of 5568 years is termed the half life of radioactive carbbon 14.
Scientist have assumed that the proportion of carbon 12 and carbon 14 in living matter has always been the same as it is today. They measure in proportionate amounts of carbon 12 and carbon 14 in remains left by man. Assuming it started out with the same proportions as a substance would have today, scientist gives an estimated age for man's remains based on the loss of radioactive carbon 14.
Even Dr. Willard F. Libby, the originator of dating by the radioactive carbon 14 method, was not sure of it's reliability. He admitted several noteworthy weeknesses. But many scientific writers use this half life figure of his as it was established truth. They ascribe to this figure far greater accuracy and reliability than Dr. Libby claims in his book Radiocarbon Dating published in 1955 by the University of Chicago Press.
Dr. Libby admits on page 42 of his authoritative work that his theory is not proven and that he is not even sure that the half life of carbon 14 is between 5,000 and 6,000 years. But he feels that "the evidence strongly favors his conclusion." (Radiocarbon Dating p.36).
Dr. Willard F. Libby developed the theory of age dating the past by radioactive carbon. His method is based on fundamental assumptions which science has since proved to be untrue.
The second assumption employed in establishing radiocarbon dating is that cosmic radiation has been constant for 10,000 to 20,000 years, a factor on which the foremost scientist are admittedly uncertain.
Notice Nuclear scientist Faul's statement on page 350 of his authoritative book Nuclear Geology: "So far there is no proof... that the cosmic ray intensity has remained constant, and however reasonable it may be, we must rank this as pure assumption." (Emphasis ours.)
Scientist who use radiocarbon dating know they are only assuming radiation has remained the same for thousands of years. They know there is abundant evidence that radiation has increased, and that it has brought in a corresponding increase in the amount of carbon 14 being formed. Nevertheless, carelessly bold young scientist make such erroneous statements as: "Rate of carbon 14 formation has been constant for 25,000 years." ("Atoms That Punch The Clock," page 77 of the February 1958 Nature Magazine). Here we see a typical example of the common flagrant misuse of data offered by scientist as a possibility and parroted by their students as gospel truth.
After admitting that radiation may have changed, scientist try to explain away this weekness with more assumptions... because they realize that less radiation in ancient times would have produced a corresponding lower amount of carbon 14. This would automatically cause a computer to give an abnormally ancient age to any prehistoric object being dated.
In order to assume that the amount of radiation reaching the earth has not changed, scientist must further assume that the strength of the magnetism of the north and south poles has not varied. It is known that this magnetism reflects radiation from the inhabited portions of the earth to the polar regions. Therefore, a decrease in the strength of the magnetic field would allow more cosmic radiation to reach the inhabited portions of the earth and form more carbon 14.
It has been proven that the earth's magnetic field has weekened and allowed an increase in radiation. Here is one proof!
When rocks are beeing formed by volcanic action, tiny metallic slivers in the forming rocks become aligned like compass needles with the earth's magnetic poles. A study of the form and alignment of these particles gives an indication of the strength of the magnetic field at the time the rocks were being formed. Magnetic field research by this method reveals the magnetic field is very unstable and varied, considerably in past centuries!
In the December 1956 issue of Nature and the February 1957 Scientific American are the reports of the findings three American geophysicists, whose studies convinced them the intensity of the magnetic field has dropped 35% in the past 2,000 years. This means there was also a great increase in cosmic ray intensity, and with it an increase in the production rate of carbon 14 in living organisms. In other words, the fact that much less carbon 14 was produced in the past means much less was absorbed by living organisms in those days. Therefore, radiocarbon dates appear much older than they should (even if the half life figure were correct.)
The earth is a giant magnet, with two magnetic poles, operating on the same principle as the toy magnets many of us played with as children. The earth's stored magnetism, like the stored magnetism in the toy counterpart, gradually decreases. This gradual decrease works on the same principle as the cooling of a hot chunk of metal that is taken from a furnace and allowed to cool off of it's own accord. At first it cools rapidly and then it's rate of cooling decreases.
There had to be a time when the earth received it's charge of magnetism... There had to be a starting point. When this magnetic field was new, it's strength would be sapped more rapidly at first, just like the cooling of the hot metal. But as time progressed and the magnetic field became weaker, there would be less drain on it by outside influences and the rate of change would slow down. So many influences are involved in these proccesses that there would not be an exact rate of decrease of the magnetic field, but all the fluctuations would be within a general pattern.
Here is another proof that in recent centuries radiation has decreased and caused a corresponding increase in the formation of carbon 14.
In December 1961 Science Digest, in the article "Another Revision Suggested For Carbon 14 Dating", we learn that R. A. Rafter and H. S. Jansen of the New Zealand Institute Of Nuclear Sciences examined the carbon 14 in the rings of an 800 year old Kauri tree, a species of pine, and found that there was a steady increase in the amount of carbon 14 in the atmosphere during the lifetime of the tree, and a rapid increase from 1550 to 1650. If fluctuations have been so wild in recent times, they certainly could have been just as wild in past times.
There are many weaknesses in the radiocarbon dating theory that have not yet been considered. We have all seen natural wonders such as sun spots and comets; and we recognize the fact that there are tremendous forces in operation in the universe. Who knows how much the formation of cosmic rays may have been altered in recent centuries by any number of the forces God built into His universe.
Scientist third assumption upon which radiocarbon is based is that the nitrogen supply in the atmosphere has not changed... that for many thousands of years there have been the same amount of nitrogen available for radiation to change into carbon 14. But this is admittedly an assumption! (America magazine, March 18, 1961, page 782.)
The most authoritative atmosphere chemist and meteorologist that we could contact readily admitted that there is no evidence at all for this assumption, and no way of finding any proof for it... that it has just been accepted as faith because that is the way it looks at present, and they have nothing better to believe.
The fact that an admitted assumption is used as a basis for excepting radiocarbon dating shows the folly of the theory. This shows scientist are ready to gamble with facts... that they are willing to use even a nonproveable point that will popularize their theory and make it look logical and scientific. They are not interested in finding TRUTH they are interested in hiding the truth of Divine Creation, which is obvious to anyone to see by examining the creation around him.
Even scientist, themselves, are beginning to lose confidence in radiocarbon dating. They see it's many weaknesses and realize that although it has been popular only a few years, it cannot last much longer, and must soon be replaced by another method of dating ancient man's remains. Now science must find a new method which can for a while furnish an apparent support for their dating guesses. Notice this admission from a foremost authority in archaeology:
"The point where the editors of the present volume wish to make is that the archaeologist will often find that the only available method for estimating age is the rate of accumulation technique. He may elect to ignore the method in belief that it is too unreliable, or he may apply the method and reserve judgement of it's absolute accuracy. But in view of the many difficulties in the employment of the radiocarbon dating technique (Sample collecting, cost of laboratory runs, wide margin of error, and probable future abandonment of the method due to atmospheric enrichment by radioactive elements), The rate of accumulation method should not be completly forgotten, since it may in future be the only possible one available in particular cases." (Emphasis ours, parenthesis his>>> from page 346-347 of The Archaeologist At Work by Robert F. Heizer, Professor of Anthropology, University of California at Berkeley. Published by Harper and Brothers, New York.)
Notice that this eminent archaeologist recommends rate of accumulation dating, admittedly unreliable, as being superior to radiocarbon dating. Sooner or later this new method, or some other system, will come tothe fore and take the place of radiocarbon dating. The new method of dating human remains will, in turn, be used for a while as a tool in science's rebellion against God.
Science's rejection of the Bible and acceptance of assumptions is an open confession that since science cannot accept the Bible as proof, it can do no better than guess, assume, and remain in darkness.
Scientist have given no proof for any of the assumptions upon which they based radiocarbon dating. They even admit many obvious weaknesses in the theory... lest they appear noticeably ignorant. The theory originates from scientist desire to date man older than God's date for the creation of the first man on earth. In the name of science... in order to call God a liar... men have deliberately ignored the obvious scientific evidence before them. They have calculated carefully in order to wilfully come to this wrong conclusioon! With reckless abandon, science has perverted the record prehistoric man laft behind. Radiocarbon dating stands proved as a gross error.

These are the questions that most studio type condo owners and renters usually get. And it can be frustrating. Sometimes, it seems like a colossal waste of time to make people understand that vertical living doesn't mean being trapped in a tiny hole. It doesn't mean being trapped at all. Space, for the highly-creative and ingenious homeowners, is never really an issue.
However big or small the space, you can control it. Designing a studio-type condo unit may have its unique challenges, but so does designing for a three-bedroom penthouse unit. Size, in this case shouldn't matter. While it may seem simpler to redesign the entire condo, there are adjustments you can make to solve the space issue. Creativity, knowing what you want and need, and smart designing tactics matter.
If you are looking for a studio-type condo design that works for you and your lifestyle, keep on reading. No, you are not limited to a small bed, a small table, and probably a floor lamp in a corner. Your place can be as cozy as you want it to be. Here are efficient ways to arrange furniture and ways to make the most of studio-type condo spaces.
An open-space floor plan is becoming more popular among condo owners. This layout is a free-flowing and functional design. It is compact but does not feel crowded. In most cases, the open-floor plan is the combination of the kitchen, dining, and the living room areas. In a studio condo however, this includes the bedroom.
Among the benefits of open living is that it naturally integrates everyday living. This means you can cook and watch TV from the living area at the same time. Less walls and dividers also encourage natural light to flow through the unit. And because no room is confined, even a studio can create the illusion of a bigger space with this design layout.
One of the best arrangements for studio-type condos is having a loft or mezzanine. This is especially achievable in units with high ceilings. A loft apartment is both classic and chic, and several architectural perks come with its innate flexibility. The industrial-type details make this layout interesting and functional. You can set up your bedroom on top and maintain an office downstairs.
Make the space look bigger and more functional by having in your condo. Arrange your furniture by function. For example, if you have a desk for office work, keep it close to a bookshelf and a couch where you can easily lay down and read a book. Keep the dining table close to the kitchen.
For some people, bedrooms are extremely private spaces. You can take a peek into everything but bedrooms are off-limits. But if you are designing a studio-type condo, privacy can be a little hard to achieve. What you can easily do is to get a stylish divider to set the bedroom apart. If possible, get one that serves double duty such as a shelf for books and other knick knacks. You can also go for a trunk or a chest that can double as your night table.
You may be wondering where to place all your furniture. How about float them? This will save a lot of space. Mount your TV on the wall instead of setting up a bulky home entertainment center. You may also float the speakers, DVRs, and movie collection. Instead of traditional shelves, get floating shelves for your books, office supplies, and frames. You can even use this as a basis for a sci-fi design theme.
If you can't place your furniture anywhere or can't float them, why don't you hide them? You would be surprised at the wide array of furniture specifically designed for small spaces. There are tables you can fold, an ottoman that can be turned into a center table, and even a bed that that you can hide inside a wall.
It is very common to simply press the couch against the wall. You would think that you are saving space. But actually, moving away from the walls will make the impression that you have a bigger space. You have to create space beyond the furniture to add volume to a room. For example, one living room design that you can do is to put the living room pieces at the center. You can put a slender cabinet against the wall and behind the sofa instead.
Do not limit focus on horizontal dimensions. One living room design that can effectively turn a small space into a bigger one is by putting emphasis on the vertical. Ceiling to floor window drapes and tower-high shelves can help you achieve this.
Small should not mean muddled and chaotic. Make sure to still distinguish key areas in the condo. One of the simple ways to do this is by using a carpet. This acts like an in-between and marks the start and ending of an area.
Forget the typical bulky couches and a coffee table. What you can do is put together your living space in a window niche. Choose slender, narrow, and long bench, much like a breakfast diner. This will take up less space and give the unit a really chic vibe.
Do not think that you can save much space by using several small pieces. If you don't know how to use them well, the space will still look cluttered. You can simplify the space by using few large pieces such as a love seat and a coffee table. But that's it. Do not add two more small pieces such as another chair or an ottoman.
One of the challenges of designing for small spaces is how to identify clear traffic paths. When there's too much going on in a rather tight space, you seem to not know how to move around. When arranging your furniture, it is important to create a path for traffic and flow of people. This can be made possible by directing traffic to a center rather than through it. If your "center" is the living room with the sofa as the starting point, traffic from the door should be directed towards it.
Small can be beautiful. It is greener, more efficient, more functional, and more economical. Never let the actual space limit your imagination of what your home can become.
