Effects Of Clonidine On Cardiovascular Function Biology Essay
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
It is known that the antihypertensive drug clonidine acts on a2- adrenoceptors. This study was designed to see whether alpha 2-agonist, clonidine, binds to its a2- adrenoceptors receptors within the vascular smooth muscle and producing its effects on the cardiovascular system, affecting the contractility of the heart and the heart rate through its effect on the pacemaker. In the isolated heart, the highest concentration of clonidine used (1x10-5M) had produced the maximum effect. The heart of a rat and guinea pig had been isolated and used with langendorff apparatus. The effect of clonidine was compared to the effects of acetylcholine which decreased the heart rate and contractility whereas noradrenaline which increased the heart rate and contractility. The dose of drug administered to the isolated heart was important, as the concentration of drug increased the effect also increased. In conclusion, it is evident that the addition of clonidine to the isolated heart produced a bradycardiac effect lowering both the heart rate and contractility by activating a2- adrenoceptors.
The autonomic nervous (non-voluntary) consists of three divisions, sympathetic, parasympathetic and enteric, where it regulates the contraction and relaxation of vascular and visceral smooth muscle. The neurons that connect these pathways are the preganglionic and postganglionic. Acetylcholine and noradrenaline are the two main transmitters that operate in the autonomic system. Acetylcholine acts on the muscarinic receptors, whereas noradrenaline acts on both alpha- or beta-adrenoceptors.
The a2- adrenoceptors are distributed extensively in the cardiovascular system. There are three types of adrenoceptors that are present within the vascular smooth muscle cells of the heart, which are alpha 1-, alpha 2- and beta 1- adrenoceptors. Alpha-adrenoceptor agonists (a-agonist) such as clonidine bind to their complementary alpha receptors on vascular smooth muscle. When a-agonists bind to their receptors they produce sympathetic effects such as contraction of smooth muscle and vasoconstriction (Molin and Bendhack 2004).
There are two types of alpha-adrenoceptors on vascular smooth muscle, alpha 1 (a1) and alpha 2 (a2). The a1-adrenoceptors are located in the vascular smooth muscle whereas the a2- adrenoceptors are located both on the sympathetic nerve terminals and on the vascular smooth muscle.
Clonidine is known for its main use as an antihypertensive medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), with its vasoconstrictive properties. Clonidine (antihypertensive and antisympathetic drug agent) is an alpha 2-agonist (Knaus, A. et al 2007) which acts centrally and stimulates receptors in the brain that are sensitive to levels of catecholamines (hormones such as adrenaline and noradrenaline released due to stress) in the blood.
The action of clonidine is regulated by a negative feedback loop. The brain controls the production of catecholamines via the descending sympathetic nerves in the adrenal medulla. Clonidine causes the brain to believe that the levels of catecholamines are very high; the brain then reduces its signals that are sent to the adrenal medulla which cause a decrease in the levels of catecholamines in the blood. This results in reduction in blood pressure and a lower heart rate.
When using clonidine there can be side effects on the cardiovascular system, such as bradycardia, tachycardia, congestive heart failure, palpitations, syncope, orthostatic symptoms, Raynaud's phenomenon, also electrocardiographic abnormalities including atrioventricular block, sinus node arrest and arrhythmias). This will be taken note of when working with the isolated heart.
In this experiment clonidine and other drugs such as acetylcholine, noradrenaline and phentolamine will be used to assess the effects and the mechanisms of action on the heart rate and force of contraction. Isolated rat heart tissue preparations will be perfused with clonidine, using the Langendorff apparatus.
This langendorff isolated perfused heart allows the examination of the heart in a nutrient rich fluid with oxygen but without the hormonal and neuronal effects. This allows the contractility of the heart to be measured, along with the heart rate. The heart then can be observed for many hours.
The isolated heart in this experiment is denervated, so this can be an advantage when observing just the cardiac function, while the other sympathetic and vagal stimulation is ceased. The denervation of the heart may be compensated by the perfusates with addition of the neurotransmitters itself or by the addition of other peripheral factors.
There are not many studies that show the direct effects of clonidine on the heart, but studies show that clonidine is able to act not only on its target receptors, a2- adrenoceptors but it is also able to work without acting on its specific receptors, as it can also act on a1-adrenoceptors (Molin, J. C. et al 2005). It has also been found that Clonidine has a partial agonist effect on the a1-adrenoceptors (Jie, K. et al 1984).
The activation of the alpha-2 adrenoceptors by clonidine may have other proteins that contribute to this effect of clonidine, but this has yet not been evident or proved. Clonidine can act on two different sites to lower blood pressure, such as one example, the activation of alpha-2 adrenoceptors in brain stem nuclei leads to a decrease in the sympathetic tone. In another example, it can also activate inhibitory alpha-2 adrenoceptors on postganglionic fibers reducing the release of noradrenaline.
A bradycardiac effect of clonidine has also been observed in mice in isolated atria. This effect occurred by the inhibition of the cardiac hyperpolarisation-activated pacemaker current. The cardiac hyperpolarisation pacemaker current plays an important part in generating pacemaker potentials in the sinoatrial node cells. The number of pacemaker potentials was also lowered in the sinotrial node cells of the heart (Knaus, A. et al 2007).
In addition to this bradycardiac effect, mice injected with clonidine after being injected with anaesthesia, the heart rate and arterial pressure was significantly reduced. The same effect was also seen in mice that were awake, as well as mice that had their alpha-2 adrenoceptor removed.
In a different study it has been noticed that, the effect of the selective drug clonidine on the alpha-2 adrenoceptor, can stimulate contractions, but this is totally dependent on the extracellular calcium.
In another study, it has been seen that if other drugs are absent (agonists and antagonists), clonidine is able to contract the denuded aortic cells, this effect of clonidine occurs in the alpha-1 adrenoceptors only.
Acetycholine generally causes vasodilation, an indirect effect, which acts on the vascular endothelial cells releasing nitric oxide causing relaxation of the smooth muscles. The muscarinic receptors which are G-protein coupled receptors have five sub-types (M1-M5).
Studying the effects of clonidine could be beneficial, as clonidine is used by some patients to treat hypertension, and so the amounts given to the patients can be either increased or decreased depending on the amount already taken (RM Boyar et al 1980).
Aims and Objectives
To investigate the effects of clonidine on isolated rat heart preparations. To also establish whether clonidine affects the heart rate and force through its effect on the pacemaker current, as well as myocardial contractility.
Different drugs (agonist such as acetylcholine and noradrenaline and antagonists such as phentolamine) will be used against clonidine to observe and assess the effects ptroduced. The experimental technique used to test this effect of clonidine, will be a langendorff apparatus using an isolated perfused heart where the heart will be kept alive.
Preparation of isolated Guinea pig and rat hearts
Male Dunkin-Hartley Guinea pigs were kept on a Harlan 2040 diet and Wistar rats were kept on a Harlan 2018 diet along with Ad lib filtered tap water (both weighing at 250g+). Animals came from Harlan UK animal research laboratory. The animals were housed in a group, with grade 6 woodchip and sizzle nest bedding for the rat and grade 6 woodchip and hay for the guinea pig, along with enrichments including plastic igloos, gnawing blocks, plastic and cardboard fun tunnels. They were exposed to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark, kept at a temperature between 19-23 oC with room humidity of 45-65%.
Animals were killed by cervical dislocation under the scientific procedures act (1986) and the heart was then isolated, removing its surrounding tissue. The set-up used in this experiment for perfusing the heart, was the Langendorff Apparatus (Havard Apparatus UK). This is so that the heart can be kept alive allowing nutrient rich, oxygenated fluid to be perfused through the coronary vasculature via a catheter that is inserted into the ascending aorta. Drugs to be used were prepared with Krebs salt solution gassed with 95% O2 and 5% CO2, kept at constant pressure, pH and temperature of 37 oC (see below for composition).
The heart was kept in a beaker of Krebs on ice to halt its activity, just before the cannula was inserted into the aorta of the heart. Electrodes were also attached to the heart, to enable the heart to be field stimulated. After the cannula was inserted into the aorta and secured using a cotton tie, the heart was perfused with normal Krebs salt solution. The apex of the heart was clipped using a heart clip connected to a force transducer to measure the tension (Havard Apparatus UK and ADInstruments).
Contractile activity of the heart was allowed to stabilise before the addition of drugs. Drugs used was taken from a stock solution of 10mls and diluted to get the lower concentrations.
100ul of 1x10-3 M (0.1ml/10ml) of clonidine was pipetted into the first 100ml bath which gave 1x10-6 M, and was then allowed to run, up until a response was seen. Before the addition of then next drug, clonidine was washed out with the control solution (KSS). Next 100ul (0.1ml/10ml) of phentolamine, was added into the second 100ml bath again letting it to run and wait (for up to 1-2 minutes) to see effect, then both clonidine and phentolamine, again 100ul (0.1ml/10ml) of each drug was added to the third 100ml bath by instantly switching between physiological solutions to see this effect (see results).
After the testing of clonidine with its antagonist and control it was tested again by increasing its concentration. Clonidine was also added in a dose-dependent fashion alongside noradrenaline and acetylcholine. Low concentration of drugs was used starting from 1x10-8M to the highest of 1x10-5M, adding 0.1ml each time to the isolated heart. Every time a different drug was added the last drug was first washed out with control Krebs Salt Solution.
Solutions and drugs:
The drugs used were clonidine, phentolamine, noradrenaline, acetylcholine, and ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid was added only to catecholamines to prevent oxidation. All drugs were ordered from Sigma-Aldrich UK address. Drugs were dissolved in distilled water to prepare stock solutions and then diluted in Krebs Salt Solution (accurate to ±0.2ml), all made up fresh everyday.
The highest concentration of drugs used was at 1x10-2 and the lowest concentration at 1x10-8. All drugs were kept on ice and had ascorbic acid added to them to prevent oxidation. The composition of Krebs salt solution (in mmol/L) was NaCl 118, NaHCO3 25, glucose 11, potassium chloride (10% solution) 4.7, CaCl2 10% solution 2.5, potassium phosphate 10% solution 1.18, magnesium sulphate 10% solution 1.18, gassed with 95% O2 and 5% CO2.
Statistical analysis:
Results are displayed as mean S.E.M (Labchart 7.0 Reader). The raw data was analysed by using a one sample t-test (using IBM SPSS PASW Statistics 18 software). P values less than 0.05 are taken to be statistically significant.
The addition of clonidine to the isolated heart had always shown a decrease in the force of contraction and the heart rate, which had either taken effect within one minute or a couple of minutes after stabilisation depending on the tissue itself as both guinea pig and rat heart was used to test.
The traces that follow compare the effects of each drug used on the isolated heart. Clonidine was compared to acetylcholine and noradrenaline at concentrations starting from 1x10-8M to higher concentrations of 1x10-5M. Addition of acetylcholine to the isolated heart had shown that there is a decrease in the heart rate and contractility.
When the lowest concentration of clonidine was added to the heart, there was not much effect of the drug seen, but as the concentration was increased, there was a gradual decrease in the heart rate and contractility (figure 1b). Acetylcholine was first added to the isolated heart so that the results could be compared to the effect of clonidine, as acetylcholine also decreases the contractility and heart rate, and here acetylcholine can be used as a control clearly shown in figure 1a. The last drug to be tested on the heart was noradrenaline which increase the heart rate and contractility as seen in figure1c, this is also compared to the other two drugs (figure 3).

Figure 1c. The effect of noradrenaline 1x10-5M on the isolated heart
Figure 1d. The effect of both clonidine and phentolamine 1x10-5M on the isolated heart.
Higher concentrations were required for phentolamine to produce an effect that was detectable, as in this experiment 0.1ml of phentolamine (1x10-5M) did not produce a significant effect as seen on figure1d. Thereafter, the concentrations of all drugs were increased and the effect of dose administered to the isolated heart was taken into account (see below).
The trace (figure 2a) below shows the control compared to the clonidine drug (10-5M) administered (shown by arrow). After running the isolated heart on Krebs salt solution until the contractility had become stabilised and then adding clonidine. It can be clearly seen that once the clonidine is added to the isolated heart there is a rapid decrease in the heart rate and force of contraction in within one minute of administering the drug.

To further test and verify the effect of clonidine on the isolated heart, the concentration of clonidine had been increase by 10 fold. This produced a trace that showed the rate of contraction and the force of the heart decrease significantly.
Next, the effect of alpha-2 agonist clonidine on heart was assessed. The next trace shows clonidine administered in a dose-response manner, from 1x10-8M to 1x10-5M final bath concentration.

Acetylcholine is a more potent drug than clonidine giving a higher curve compared to clonidine which has a lower curve and is less potent. However noradrenaline is further up than acetylcholine with a greater Emax percentage compared to clonidine and acetylcholine (figure3).

From figure 1 (above), the mean of the tension produced was taken into account. To statistically anaylse the data a one sample t-test was used to find the P value shown in figure 4 below. The P value was known to be statistically significant as the value obtained was less than 0.05.

At the lowest concentration of clonidine (1 x 10-8 M) the mean response (11.923370) was close to the value obtained from the lowest concentration of acetylcholine (11.778800), noradrenaline also had a mean value that was similar (11.177820).
As seen from figure 4b, the significance value (P) is below 0.05, allowing the alternative hypothesis (H1) to be accepted, which shows that there is a significant difference between the drugs used, as the response from the drugs were all different.

The aim of this project was to find the effect of clonidine on cardiovascular function, affecting both myocardial contractility and heart rate through its effect on the pacemaker current.
The main finding of the study was to identify the effect of clonidine on the isolated heart, on the heart rate and contractility of the heart. To verify that clonidine had an effect on the heart, a number of experiments were performed on both guinea pig and rat hearts (Iriuchijima J. 1999).
The receptors found in the heart are alpha 1, alpha 2 and beta 1 adrenoceptors, and so clonidine, acetylcholine and noradrenaline drugs were used to assess the effects in comparison to each other and on they own.
The effect of all drugs used on the isolated heart was on was on spontaneous heart beat (without stimulation), where clonidine had decreased pacemaker potentials. Depending on the concentration of clonidine and the species the drug was used on, the stimulation of a2- adrenoceptors produced first an increase in heart rate which is known as the side effect of the drug, but then there was a rapid decrease in the heart rate (Young, T. M et al 2006).
Cardiac muscle is myogenic (it has the ability to contract itself via the SA Node) can generate action potentials on its own. The parasympathetic and sympathetic activity of the autonomic system has an influence on the heart rate and contractility.
Clonidine, the centrally acting vasodilator acts on the alpha 2-adrenoceptors. This activation of receptors causes a decrease in the heart rate and contractility. In figure 1b it can be seen that clonidine produces a bradycardiac effect on the heart, reducing the frequency of spontaneous SAN pacemaker potentials (Knaus, A. et al 2007). Tension decreased showing that less stress was produced therefore producing fewer contractions and heart beats.
The vascular smooth muscle and a2 â€" adrenoceptors are post-junctional linked to a G-q protein. This activates IP3 signal transduction pathway causing the contraction of the smooth muscle. Also the a2- adrenoceptors (pre-junctional) on the sympathetic nerve terminals can act as a negative feedback mechanism releasing norepinephrine (noradrenaline). Alpha-2 adrenoceptors inhibit the release of adenylyl cyclase which decreases cAMP formation causing a decrease in the force of contraction and heart rate.
Noradrenaline (an agonist) which is a sympathomimetic drug can act on both the alpha and beta receptors in the heart. In figure 3, it can be clearly seen that noradrenaline is a very potent drug that has taken effect at its highest concentration, showing that the effect is does-dependent.
The receptors for noradrenaline are G-protein-coupled receptors, associated with a specific second messenger system. The β1-adrenoceptors are found in the heart, here the receptors act by stimulating adenylyl cyclase. Therefore adding noradrenaline to the heart produces inotropic and chronotropic effects, which is an increase in this case.
Alpha-blockers such as phentolamine (usually used in treating hypertension) dilate arteries and veins. This is due to these blood vessels being innervated by the sympathetic adrenergic nerves.
Muscarinic receptors are G-protein-coupled receptors with five subtypes (M1-M5). The M1, M3 and M5 subtypes are coupled with Gq activating inositol phosphate pathway, while the M2 and M4 subtypes act through the Gi inhibiting adenylyl cyclase and reducing intracellular cAMP.
Acetylcholine a neurotransmitter acts on muscarinic receptors (M2) it decrease the heart rate and strength of contraction dilating blood vessels. It acts on muscarinic receptors which causes inhibition and or a decrease in force of contraction of the cardiac muscle.
Acetylcholine is usually produced naturally inside the body in response to a fight or flight situation, but in this study when acetylcholine was added to the isolated heart there was a decrease in the heart rate and contractility.
Addition of small amount (1x10-5M) of acetylcholine (ACh) produces a transient fall in blood pressure seen in figure 1a, this is due to arteriolar vasodilation and the slowing of the heart. Acetylcholine generally causes vasodilation, an indirect effect, which acts on the vascular endothelial cells releasing nitric oxide causing relaxation of the smooth muscles.
Here the amount of drug that is exposed to the isolated heart is important as, the higher the concentration the greater the effect seen in a short amount of time as seen in figure 3. The amount of time it takes for the drug to get to heart through the pipes was therefore timed, and added cumulatively (Knaus, A. et al 2007).
The efficacy of all drugs used was high. When clonidine was administered to the isolated heart, the effect moderate compared to noradrenaline and acetylcholine. Here acetylcholine was the drug that had the highest efficacy and due to this reason is the control.
Due to the nature of the heart and the amount of time that can be spent on one tissue is not enough to see any other effects. Further work that can be carried out is to see whether clonidine has an effect on other receptors such as a1-adrenoceptor. Here clonidine will be tested with its agonist and antagonist to see the effects that take place.
Concluding the study, the sympathomimetic drug, clonidine, does have an effect on cardiovascular system making the alpha 2 - adrenoceptors sensitive to clonidine. There is a greater effect when the concentration of clonidine is increased, however even in the presence of a low concentration of clonidine there is a small noticeable effect. The therapeutic effects of clonidine in humans can be determined to se whether the bradycardica effect still takes place as this study only looks at guinea pig and rats.

Read the New Procedure May Aid Stubborn High Blood Pressure article »
The most common signs expected with overdosage of a beta-blocker are bradycardia, hypotension, congestive heart failure, bronchospasm, and hypoglycemia. To date, a few cases of overdose (maximum: 2000 mg) with bisoprolol fumarate have been reported. Bradycardia and/or hypotension were noted. Sympathomimetic agents were given in some cases, and all patients recovered.
In general, if overdose occurs, ZEBETA therapy should be stopped and supportive and symptomatic treatment should be provided. Limited data suggest that bisoprolol fumarate is not dialyzable. Based on the expected pharmacologic actions and recommendations for other beta-blockers, the following general measures should be considered when clinically warranted:
Administer IV atropine. If the response is inadequate, isoproterenol or another agent with positive chronotropic properties may be given cautiously. Under some circumstances, transvenous pacemaker insertion may be necessary.
IV fluids and vasopressors should be administered. Intravenous glucagon may be useful.
Heart Block (Second Or Third Degree)
Patients should be carefully monitored and treated with isoproterenol infusion or transvenous cardiac pacemaker insertion, as appropriate.
Congestive Heart Failure
Initiate conventional therapy (ie, digitalis, diuretics, inotropic agents, vasodilating agents).
Administer bronchodilator therapy such as isoproterenol and/or aminophylline.
Administer IV glucose.
ZEBETA is contraindicated in patients with cardiogenic shock, overt cardiac failure, second or third degree AV block, and marked sinus bradycardia.

Sovereign Debt Repurchases: No Cure for OverhangJeremy Bulow, Kenneth Rogoff
NBER Working Paper No. 2850 We show, in a reasonably general model, that if a highly indebted country has good investment projects available to it, then it will not benefit from using any of its resources to buy back debt at market prices. Debt buybacks and debt-equity swaps only make sense for the country if these programs are heavily subsidized by creditors. This result holds for all buyback programs large and small, so long as they involve voluntary creditor participation and are not part of a larger deal including offsetting concessions from lenders. Our analysis therefore casts doubt on the popular argument that unilateral debt repurchases benefit HICs by relieving "debt overhang".

Expert in ancient Greek pottery joins Ancient Studies
Monday, August 20th, 2012Samantha Masters, who has recently been permanently appointed in the Department of Ancient Studies, is one of only two South African experts in the field of ancient Greek pottery.
She grew up in the warm climes of Durban where she completed her undergraduate degree and then her MA in Classics at what was, at the time, the University of Natal, Durban (now UKZN). She completed her PhD dissertation, entitled Iconography and emotional vocabulary: the abduction and recovery of Helen in Attic pottery c. 550-350 BCE, earlier this year at the University of Exeter, in the United Kingdom. Her appointment at Stellenbosch University followed soon afterwards in March. "Stellenbosch is a picturesque and lively town," Masters says, "and since I had already taught here part-time and experienced the stimulating and supportive environment of my department, I knew that this was the place I wanted to be permanently."
What sparked her interest in ancient pottery, one might ask. "Well, I have always had a keen interest in art and material culture," she says, "but it was during my honours year that I developed a real passion for pottery in particular. In the Classics Department at UND we had a small museum of antiquities. "I became the assistant curator and I learnt about the cultural value of material objects from the past, about how to care for such artefacts and also about potential avenues of research. This was probably the beginning for me, and over the years, I have never been disappointed. It is a really fascinating and productive field and I have also had many thrilling research opportunities over the years."
By this she means the opportunity to do her PhD at Exeter, and also to conduct research at two prestigious institutes: The Getty Research Institute, at the Getty Villa, in Malibu, California and the Institut für Klassische Archäologie, at Ruprecht-Karls-Universität, Heidelberg. Masters is currently working on converting her PhD into a book, but other projects are also quickly taking shape.
She is planning a study related to the collections of classical antiquities in South African museums as well as two collaborative projects with Iziko Museums of Cape Town, which has a substantial collection of ancient artefacts. "The Ancient Studies Department has a really good working relationship with Iziko; over the years we have collaborated on several exhibitions and research projects," says Masters. "Working with Iziko allows us to connect more broadly with issues around heritage. Pottery is universal, and there are, I believe, dialogues to be had with living and local traditions."
In addition to research, Masters teaches courses in ancient culture, supervises post-graduate students, and gives public lectures on various subjects relating to the classical world.

This is a game for people who like to explore, listen, think and solve. Listen to the nineteen personal creepypasta-style stories to piece together the mysterious events of that fateful night in 1898, when twelve orphans simply... disappeared! Oh, and it helps if you're into mazes, too...
Our Black Friday Beta lets you explore Grimhaven Orphanage and discover the characters who once lived there - voiced by Dan Bull, Chuck Huber and Raychul Moore, plus a multitude of other great voices from around the world - some of which we discovered through our global YouTube auditions!
There's a lot to take in, and our Black Friday Beta allows you to do that without being stalked by the Huntsman at the same time! You may come across him but you won't suffer any ill effects - yet!
All that changes with the Halloween Edition come October 31! So you're at a distinct advantage if you've already heard the character's stories, picked up on clues and found the orphans' treasured belongings along the way!
""...a genuinely creepy ghost story that has the potential to be the scariest game we've seen in awhile. Huntsman: The Orphanage has been heralded by some to be the revitalization the horror genre needs. It has the potential to the eerie, emotional, and atmospheric adventure found in horror games past.""
""...a whole new take on the horror genre... in an attempt to move the gameplay away from the long standing tradition of being violent and full of gore, into something altogether different and even more creepy.""
""Ooo... creepy! ...Rose, who begs you to help her find her ribbon... My guess? She's gonna eat your face. Don't find her that ribbon.""

"New Zealand is a beautiful country. But there are more sheep and cows than people."
Allan Tibby
"2nd attempt in typing out this quote. The A-Z are the favourites to win the world cup trophy and lift their own cup down under where they belong. The reason for them winning is that they knew, have known and know everything about life and cricket. They know all the details and uncertainties of life and cricket and have it all covered. Importantly, they run like hares, bounce back like the kangaroos and all of them, fielding is at par with Jonty Rhodes."

Perhaps the most crucial step in this plan is the Markets phase.
Why is this phase so important? Because it sets company-wide goals for approaching the marketplace, selling products, and edging out competitors. With a clear understanding of which markets you're going to tackle, your Corporate team can effectively allocate resources to make the most of each market's opportunities.
Here's what you need to know to accomplish the Markets phase.
The Markets phase defines which markets we will and will not compete in. What is the Markets phase?
The Markets phase defines which markets you will and will not compete in.
What problem does the Markets phase solve?
There are too many markets to choose from, and too little money to spend on them. To make sure you're getting the most out of your budget, choose the markets that are most important to your company objectives.
If you don't define the markets in which you will compete, you leave it up to each individual employee to make that decision. That just leads to conflict and competing priorities. By identifying key markets beforehand, you give employees the tools they need to beat the estimates next year.
How do we solve that problem?
In order to identify the best markets for your company's goals, your Corporate team must be able to answer these 10 questions:
- What is our definition of a market by industries, geographies, segments, products, and buyers?
- Which markets are we going to serve?
- Which markets are we not going to serve?
- Why are we focused on serving these markets today?
- Why would we be interested in serving these other markets in the future?
- What is the size of the markets we want to pursue?
- What is our share in those markets?
- Who buys in the markets we choose to serve?
- Who are the key users of our products in our markets?
- How can we best reach buyers and users in our markets?
To apply these questions to your organization, sign up for our How to Make Your Number in 2016 consultation workshop today.
Once you complete this Markets phase, you can round out your Corporate Strategy by identifying the competitors in each market and how you will establish the advantage over them.
With your Corporate Strategy in place, your team will have the tools they need beat the estimates in the coming year.

Date of Show: Wednesday, March 29
Synopsis: Lu Chan (Jayden Yuan) is still trying to find his place in Chen Village, the legendary town where everyone is a martial arts master…and Chen-style Tai Chi is forbidden to outsiders. But since he helped save the town from a frightening steam-powered machine, Yuniang (Angelababy), beautiful daughter of Grandmaster Chen (Tony Leung), agrees to marry Lu Chan and bring him into the family. It's only a formality, though – she is the teacher, and he is the student – and that suits Lu Chan just fine, as the mutant horn on his head gives him incredible kung-fu power, but leaves him dumber each time, and closer to death. Chen Village still stands in the shadow of danger. A prodigal brother returns, Lu Chan's presence invokes a curse on the town, and Yuniang's scorned fiancée has an appetite for revenge, as well as some new partners in crime. *Note: Chinese with English subtitles

Only slightly to the west is Belcher Road which provides excellent access to Clearwater. It is only .5 miles north of Ulmerton Road, which provides quick links to several limited access routes heading north, south and east: 1) it is less than 2 miles to 49th street which leads directly to the Bayside Bridge, providing rapid access to to North Pinellas County,and only slightly further to 2) U.S. 275, which provides the fastest route to St Petersburg and 3) the Howard Franklin Bridge--an excellent arterial to Tampa.
This excellent road network makes the eastern portion of the center an ideal location for flex space, while its frontage directly on 66th Street makes the west portion of the center an excellent location for retail space, which has been proven by the long success of several retailers along such corridor.

Oil Companies Will Soon Be Firing Sonic Cannons and Killing Marine Life Along Florida's Coast
This guy does not like loud noises.
Chris Muenzer via Wikimedia Commons
With rising sea levels, Great Whites on the loose, and coral development quickly getting knocked down, there's a lot of trouble brewing out there along the east coast of Florida. Now we can add another to the list: sonic cannons.
Yup, you read that right. These devices are typically used by companies prospecting for oil and gas deposits. And thanks to a recent decision by the Obama administration, energy companies have been given the green light to begin hunting around the East Coast, from Delaware to Florida, for the first time.
The scary part? We have little idea what it's going to do to the already fragile aquatic ecosystems out there.
So: Thanks, Obama.
Upcoming Events
EL CLASICO MIAMI: Real Madrid CF v. FC Barcelona
TicketsSat., Jul. 29, 7:30pm
Oil and gas drilling has been banned along the East Coast since the 1980s. The clock runs out on that moratorium in 2018, and unless the government changes its mind, off-shore production could begin at that time.
According to Florida Today, just last week, the Obama administration issued a decision allowing companies that are thinking about applying for leases then to begin preliminary analysis of where valuable deposits might be located.
Enter the sonic cannons.
These devices are typically dragged around behind a boat, shooting out electronic pulses every ten seconds. The sound bounces back along the sea floor, returning with data that can be crunched into detailed maps showing were energy deposits might be hiding below the ocean floor.
The U.S. Bureau of Energy Management (BOEM) estimates there could be "4.72 billion barrels of recoverable oil and 37.51 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas" along the East Coast, according to Time. Since we'll probably be going to war with Russia soon and the Middle East is the Middle East, it sure would be nice to tap that energy. The sonic cannons are key to seeing where the stuff might be.
Oh, there is one catch: The sonic cannons are 100 times louder than a jet engine. Right now, energy prospectors are using the devices in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska. But along the East Coast, including Florida, the BOEM admits the sonic cannons will impact 138,000 animals under the sea.
Environmentalists contend that the cannons could mess with everything from the corral to sea turtles to endangered whales -- at this point, we just don't really know what will happen. Just imagine that next-door neighbor who plays Lil Wayne at full volume all Sunday night, then multiple that by 100 and that's what it'll be like for Florida's aquatic life once the cannons get to work.
The issue is serious enough that Sen. Bill Nelson and other Florida lawmakers sent a concerned letter to the Obama administration. And when an ex-astronaut is worried, well.....

LOVEBLOWS & LOVECRIES - A CONFESSIONNo-ManPsychedelic/Space Rock2.98 | 55 ratings |
From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website
Special Collaborator Honorary Collaborator |
Loveblows & Lovecries - A Confession is the second album from No-Man. No-Man is one of Steven
Wilson ( Porcupine Tree, Blackfield...etc) projects. The album was released in 1993. This is the european
version of the album. The music is pretty much like on the debut Lovesighs - An Entertainment (1992). Electronic pop with slight ambient tendencies. The drums are especially noteworthy for being dancable early nineties style. The vocals from Tim Bowness are mellow pop style vocals. Most songs are pretty formulaic with easily recognisable choruses and a definite commercial appeal. The musicianship is good. Tim Bowness is a strong singer and the instrumental side of the album which is all done by Steven Wilson is professionally done. The production is typical for the early nineties. Clean and a bit cold. Loveblows & Lovecries - A Confession has aged badly IMO. The album is totally stuck in the nineties pop/ dance style and personally I�m not enjoying myself. Those drums alone are able to kill me. Horrible sounding drums IMO. My overall rating will be 2 stars. The product is well done ( production, musicianship) but this is not my taste at all.

The illusion of
Unpredictable yet deceptively convincing.
When was the last
time something made you happy and you genuinely smiled?
That moment. Have you
really thought about it? Why don't such moments last? Why can't we be happy all
the time? Why is the world overpowered by grief and sorrow?
Our short lived lives are burdened with pressure from all sides.The world is full of
people who are suffering and it is for this exact reason that a few moments of
happiness come to us. So that the world doesn't fall apart. People who endure hardships have the
hope that someday they'll be happy.
This is what keeps them going on.
isn't a happy journey with a few sad moments. It's the exact opposite.

Thanksgiving Patterns
Lesson 4 of 6
Objective: Students will build and re-create various Thanksgiving patterns.
This is an activity that I use as one of my math stations, so there is not a formal introduction to this lesson. The stations are very briefly discussed at the beginning of the week. This takes approximately 10 minutes. I am fortunate to have a para-pro and parent helper each day of the week during my station time, so they are able to assist students, keep them on task, and work with them at stations. With 3 adults in the room, instructions are able to be brief, as anyone who is having difficulty will be noticed. My station activities always target skills that we are currently or have previously learned.
During station time, my students are broke into 2 groups (12 students in each group- totaling 24). On Mondays & Wednesdays, group 1 is working on stations, while group 2 is using technology. Technology includes iPads, laptops, and the smart board. On Tuesdays & Thursdays, group 2 is working on stations, while group 1 is using technology. Fridays are free choice. All students use technology and re-visit any of their favorite stations from the week. I have included a picture of my schedule that is displayed in my classroom.

Thanksgiving Patterns
I love this lesson because it gives my students the freedom to create their own patterns. I found Thanksgiving Math Patterning for free on Teachers Pay Teachers from Mom2punkerdoo.
Create enough sets (I do 4 sets) to allow the appropriate sized group of children that you'd want working at a time at this station. I laminated the cards and put each of them into a Ziploc bag. Children are instructed to use the pictures in their Ziploc to create a pattern.
Once the pattern is created, students must show it to me and then I ask them to label the pattern using A, B, C, etc.
When students are done creating the pattern sequence, they must show it to an adult in the room. I want to clear up any mistakes that might occur before moving on.
After adult approval, students take a clipboard, glue stick, pair of scissors, and worksheet. These materials are all ready in a basket at the station. Students cut out and re-create the pattern they made onto the worksheet. This station was a popular, but took a long time to complete! I address this in my reflection.
This lesson allows students to use their mathematical thinking and reasoning. Kindergartners are looking for and making use of structure in this activity!
I have included pictures and video of the class working at this station.
Resources (3)
This resource was great for my special needs students. We were all able to sit around in a small group setting and work on this together. Other than some of the students needing help with cutting out the little squares, these cute little squares made the learning fun. Thank you, I love Betterlesson!

hi i played golf last week and usually after a game i get these small uncomfortable rashes that usually form through friction and usually go after a day so this day i thought i would apply some sudo cream to prevent the rashes, after the golf i was fine but after a shower and a nights sleep i woke up to be slightly itchy at the inner thighs and my ball sac, then some rashes occured and the im getting more and more itchy as the days go on. i had 2 showers today and for some reason there is a very bad smell from the area, the area seems to sweat more than usual and the smell can be discribed as like gone off cheese, any comments would be most appreciated, could it be the cream?

Obesity costs Britain's economy £47bn a year; more than war, terrorism or armed violence, a new study has found.
The research, commissioned by consultants McKinsey and Company, recommended a series of 44 interventions to fight the epidemic.
Measures include introducing a safe network of cycle lanes, portion control in fast-food packaged goods, and more PE lessons in schools.
The report's authors at the McKinsey Global Institute said the measures could bring 20% of overweight or obese people in UK back to a healthy weight within a decade.
Success would save £16 billion a year, including an annual saving of about £766 million in the NHS, according to the study.
The report found that only smoking does more damage to the UK economy than obesity.
"Obesity is a major global economic problem caused by a multitude of factors," the report said. "Today obesity is jostling with armed conflict and smoking in terms of having the greatest human-generated global economic impact.
"The global economic impact of obesity is increasing. The evidence suggests that the economic and societal impact of obesity is deep and lasting."
The report notably estimated that the cost of treating obesity and diabetes on the NHS was equivalent to the whole budget for the police, fire services, law courts, and prisons.
The study found that the UK not investing to combat the disease, and spends less than £638m a year on obesity prevention programmes. This about 1% of the country's social cost of obesity, the authors said.
The health watchdog Public Health England warned there was "no silver bullet" to addressing the problem.
Dr Alison Tedstone, chief nutritionist at Public Health England, said: "Overweight and obesity is a complex problem which requires action across individual and societal levels involving industry, national and local government and the voluntary sector. There is no single 'silver bullet' solution.
"Today 25% of the nation is obese and 37% is overweight. If we reduce obesity to 1993 levels, where 15% of the population were obese, we will avoid five million disease cases and save the NHS alone an additional £1.2 billion by 2034."

Secrets Underground Share this with a friend
North America's Buried Past
Best Books for Kids & Teens, Canadian Children's Book Centre 2016 Rocky Mountain Book Award finalist
Uncover the spine-tingling mysteries and eerie surprises that lurk right under your feet!
In Secrets Underground, history buff Elizabeth MacLeod takes readers deep down, down, down below the earth's surface, and introduces them to a completely different world—sometimes terrifying, often baffling, and always fascinating.
• the Civil War secrets carefully concealed in Organ Cave, West Virginia
• the top-secret equipment that lies deep below Grand Central Terminal in New York City
• the network of tunnels in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, that once hid victims of persecution—and illegal liquor transported by notorious Chicago gangsters
• how the Aztec city Tenochtitlán, the largest and most powerful city of its time in what is now North America, nearly disappeared without a trace
• the abandoned ships buried beneath San Francisco that reveal the city's history as a top destination for fortune seekers during the Gold Rush
• the nuclear shelter the U.S. government kept hidden for decades underneath an exclusive resort in West Virginia called The Greenbrier.
Guiding readers through these fascinating places, MacLeod reveals their long-kept secrets and deftly explains how these lost and hidden subterranean passages, spaces, and caves answer decades-old puzzles, help us understand our own past, and lead us to discover what life was really like in eras gone by.

OK, admit it: which one of you introduced actor-turned-filmmaker Tim Blake Nelson to nihilism? Nelson ("Leaves of Grass," "Eye of God") is smart enough to independently discover works like "Ex Nihil" and "The Conspiracy Against the Human Race," questionable philosophical tracts that recently came to a wider attention once "True Detective" Nic Pizzollato cited the latter book as a source of inspiration for his signature drama's first season. But I'd prefer to believe that "Anesthesia," the fifth film to be written and directed by Nelson, wasn't originally Nelson's idea. This will hopefully make sense later.
"Anesthesia" is equal parts civics lesson and ideological confession. It's like if "Pay It Forward" had an exceedingly glum sequel that questions whether or not human beings know that they cannot affect positive change in each other's lives, and therefore distract ourselves from life's meaninglessness with everything from drug abuse to child-rearing. An all-star cast of actors, including Kristen Stewart, Gretchen Mol, Glenn Close, Corey Stoll and Michael K. Williams, band together to breathe dramatic life into Nelson's "echo chamber," to paraphrase one of his more astute lines of dialogue.
Several fantastically contrived subplots, including a family struggling with news that mother Jill (Jessica Hecht) may have malignant cancer and a high-powered lawyer (Williams) who tries to help his childhood best friend (K. Todd Freeman) to quit his drug habit, suggest that people are all connected, either by their mutual sense of responsibility and/or apathy. Philosophy professor Walter Zarrow (Sam Waterston) gives voice to many of Nelson's concerns in lectures, and has private conversations with students like self-harming depressive Sophie (Stewart). Zarrow asks his students to consider if we can find meaning beyond ourselves, if the urge to procreate is not mindless, after a fashion, and if we are simply perpetuating our beliefs without interrogating them. In other words: if we examined our motives, would we find that we're predisposed to futilely exist, work away at our respective jobs, and then pass on our unproductive values to our children? Does anything have a point, and if not, why not just give up?
Nelson's characters are defined almost exclusively by their concerns and their patterns of behavior, making Waterston's character the most attractive since he gets all the good speeches. This makes it especially hard to take "Anesthesia" seriously whenever its various stories break down into a series of monologues. Poor Kristen Stewart does a fantastic job with lousy material when Sophie confesses that she burns her forearms with a curling iron to confirm that she exists. There is real pain in Sophie's biggest rant, and it doesn't just come from Stewart's performance, but that sympathetic hurt is considerably dulled by the fact that we don't really know who Sophie is beyond one pointless cafeteria altercation, and a couple of theoretical conversations with Zarrow. Large parts of "Anesthesia" consequently feel like strangers' confessions.
This is a movie about empathy, after all, but human emotions that have been reduced to abstract consideration. Joe's struggle with addiction is probably the best part of "Anesthesia" because Nelson devotes time to representing Joe's anger. He curses frantically as he struggles to break out of a hospital gurney he's been strapped into against his will. And he half-prays, half-curses Jeffrey when he doesn't pick up his "goddamn phone." This pain feels very real even though it's also essentially a type of character. Joe contrasts with Zarrow's optimism, and represents one end of an emotional spectrum that multiple characters, including young pothead Hal (Ben Konigsberg), gravitate towards.
The film often leads the viewer around in circles (as Zarrow fearfully admits during one of his later speeches); it's a weirdly over-determined cri di coeur that feels simultaneously over- and under-done. Still, I want to recommend Nelson's film in spite of how misconceived it is simply because it asks interesting questions, albeit in some of the most banal ways imaginable. That recommendation seems to be the only way out of Nelson's echo chamber: invite people in, and make the conversation a dialogue. I'm very curious to read people's thoughts on the film. So if you see "Anesthesia," please tell me what you think. And in the meantime: if you turned Tim Blake Nelson on to nihilism, you can tell me that, too. I won't judge, promise.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

Editor's review
The Monitaly Hooded Invert Pullover Vancloth in Black is a long modern silhouette from their AW16 collection. This style is constructed from their signature Vancloth material, a water-repellent and wind-resistant 100% cotton poplin fabric with a smooth texture achieved by a tight weaving construction. The design borrows aspects of their Invert Pullover, such as the pleated front and two round-stitched pockets. The three-panelled hood is adjustable via a classic drawstring adjuster and the cuffs have simple button-tab details. The hem hangs loosely and is vented up the side-seams.

Does anybody in Madison really care about the WAMIs? Perhaps as much as the WAMIs care about Madison. Maybe that's not fair, but it's a widely held attitude in town towards the Wisconsin Area Music Industry.
Founded in 1980, There are 35 total WAMIs, each with five nominees apiece. That makes for 175 nominations across the board. Roughly 5% of these are for music folks from around these parts. Nine Madison-based musicians and businesses were nominated for WAMIs last year. None were among the winners, though the popular local country group Madison County did win one of four regional People's Choice Award for "Best Band/Artist of the Year." There aren't as many 2008 nominees with at least a nominal current connection to Madison. These include Blueheels (Americana/Rockabilly), Ladies Must Swing (Big Band), Moon Gypsies (Folk/Acoustic Group/Artist), Figureheads (R&B/Soul/Hip-Hop Group/Artist), Mighty Short Bus (Rock Group), Maximum Ink (Print Media), Justin Perkins (Producer), and Smart Studios (Studio). And as with every year, there are the four regional People's Choice awards. Congrats to the nominees, but this paucity of Madison nominees isn't surprising. The WAMIs as an institution isn't really a presence in this area. It has regional committees in Milwaukee, Kenosha/Racine, and the Fox Valley, with meetings and parties generally held in these same cities. As in previous years, the awards show will be held in Milwaukee, on Monday, April 28 at Turner Hall. Madison music fans needn't be concerned with this longstanding state of affairs, though, thanks to the MAMAs. The FAQ about its mission and operation. After months of nominations by organization members, the first round of voting started on February 15. All MAMAs members are permitted to vote for the nominees of their choice, with this initial cycle running through March 27. The 2008 nominees will subsequently be announced during a party at the Brink Lounge on Monday, March 31. Round two of the MAMAs then begins on April 1, and will run through the whole of the month. Over this month and next, meanwhile, are a trio of fundraisers (on March 8, April 11, and April 16) for the organization and its charitable mission. Then on Saturday, May 10, the Barrymore Theatre will play host to the fifth annual MAMAs awards show, which will feature performances by Pale Young Gentlemen, The Jessi Lynn Band, Profound with Lil' Braugh, Dear August, Stephanie Rearick, Westside Andy and Mel Ford Band, and The Motorz. So don't worry about no WAMIs, Madison, you've can still play a part in the MAMAs.

My friend showed me this puzzle yesterday, and since then Ive been trying to think what I would do!!, DH seems to think Im reading too much into this, but its one of those puzzles where I dont think the answer is straight forward, so what would you do?? You are in a zoo.You have been instructed to realease any ONE animal of your choice,but you must also kill ONE animal,which animal do you release into the city?.,and which do you kill?.You must choose 2 different animals. Jules
Hi Jules, Sounds like one of those things to test what kind of personality you have. eg. if you release a wild tiger and kill a cute harmless parrot, you're probably not a very nice person! LOL I would release something that would have a better quality of life if it were free and could survive in our climate (eg. not a tropical bird), and also something that isn't dangerous! I'm not sure what this animal is though, maybe a butterfly if they had some there I'd like to say I'd kill a spider as they freak me out but I'm too woosy to go near them, so I don't know on that one as I'm not sure I could kill an animal, maybe an insect in the reptile house as they don't have a very long life expectency anyway. So Mrs Too nice, did I pass? (You've inspired me to post something similar)
This sounds like you have to think laterally for the answer to this ? Is it a trick question Jules or is there way out?
Personally I think you have to read more into it than it is, it cant be as simple as, Id realease this and kill that, I think there is a method to the answer!!, cant quiet work out what, and boy is it annoying me!!!. Jules
I dont' think it is a lateral thinking type puzzle, I think it's more of a personality analysis. It's also on here..... http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/D/derren_brown/tests/tests.html Looking at the other questions also make me think that.

I won't lie. I thought the Indiana Pacers were going to embarrass themselves again against the San Antonio Spurs, but they actually put up a respectable effort and led by 17 points before the inevitable comeback, ending with a 104-97 loss.
A loss is a loss but at least it showed that the Pacers can compete with one of the best and most efficient teams in the league at both ends of the floor. A long way go still, but it's encouraging to see the Pacers slowly turning their season around.
David West led the way with 22 points while Paul George had 15. Roy Hibbert was 5-18 and finished with 10 points and 11 rebounds to go with 2 blocks, but was dominated by the ageless Duncan, who had 22 and 17 on 10-19 shooting. Tony Parker, whom the Pacers could have drafted instead of Jamaal Tinsley, led all scorers with 33.
Perhaps the most positive sign for the Pacers was DJ Augustin leading the Pacers with 8 assists to go with his 8 points. The dude has been gutter awful all season and...
