Drill – The first step in Post Construction Termite Treatment involves treating the walls and floor junction for which 6mm holes are drilled at the junction of wall and floor in external, internal perimeter.

Our anti termite treatment aims at destroying the entire colony. In order to completely eradicate the termites we follow these basic steps :
We apply the termiticides to the infested areas, so the termite workers get exposed to termiticide when they move through the treated zones in search of food.
Once the termite workers get exposed, they not only ingest the termiticide, but it also adheres to their bodies.
The affected termite workers than return to their hideout and spread the active ingredient to other termites through physical contact, and eventually the entire colony perishes.
We provide warranty of 1 year on our Termite control services in Hyderabad.
Although, all liquid termiticides are supposed to control termites for at least 5 years when applied according to label directions. The actual length of control on a given structure will depend on factors such as
Thoroughness of the application
Environmental conditions.
Density of termites in the area.
Our termite exterminators ensure to generously spray termite chemical in all infested areas and areas at risk of infestation. However,if termites swarm again and continue to be a problem the year after treatment, it's usually not from degradation of the termiticide but because termites have found an untreated gap in the chemical barrier. So, if you see termite infestation get termite treatment done immediately. This will reduce the termite treatment cost and also prevent severe damages.
We always advise our clients to get termite pest control done once in a year or two to always keep the termites away from their place. However, the frequency of treatment depends upon factors such as
Changing weather
Accumulation of moisture etc.
Severity of termite infestation
No Termite pest control done by our expert termite exterminators will not affect the furnishings of your house. We make sure to seal the holes perfectly, and provide a clean and tidy finishing.
Our pest control experts use the best 100% safe and odorless pesticide for termite treatment – Bayer Premise 350 SC which is CBRI certified.

BEFORE – The customer should vacate the areas where the treatment needs to be carried out. Common termite breeding sites include the joints of fixed wooden structures such as closets, windows, doors, sills, support posts, etc.
AFTER – Customers should stay away from the treated areas for at least 6-7 hours so the barrier created for termites does not break. The drilling process during the treatment may bring dust, so customers should ventilate the room after the treatment process.
In most of the cases, for termite treatment inside house you would be required to move your household items and re-arrange it after the treatment has been completed. It is highly recommended that you check this with the termite control service provider.
The treatment of termites at home can take anywhere between 2-4 hours depending on the size of the house and level of termite infestation.

Termite Treatment is a job of professional. Getting rid of termites require special knowledge and tools.
Treatment for controlling termites involves use of special equipment such as soil treatment rods, masonry drills and chemicals.
If you discover termites in your home, you should not try to get rid of them by yourself and always call for professional help for a permanent and guaranteed solution. If termites are disturbed, they will simply re-route their activity to another area of the house.
Home remedies for termite removal will provide you with only temporary relief but are not helpful in the long run and will not eliminate them permanently, especially when there is a higher infestation. With the right application and methods, you will only find little success but home termite treatment (Home remedies) will hardly fix the problem. Termite pest control professionals have a thorough knowledge, training and they have a special method to get rid of termites. So don't try home remedies and give professionals a try.
Termites get into your house from building a foundation and cause damage and destruction to walls and wooden furniture. They not only eat your furniture but also papers, books and even your important documents. Dampness and moisture attract termites. So whether you live on the ground floor or 20th floor, no home is free from termite attack. Make sure you get your place checked for termite infestation once in a while so that you can take necessary actions as soon as possible.
Termites can ruin all the precious valuables in your home in a matter of a month and if unnoticed then it can cause major havoc and can damage the brick of your house as well. Read more about How much damage can a termite really do?

Let each infestation be separately evaluated by a trained termite control professional who will then recommend an effective termite treatment plan to eliminate the colony from your house.

Termites tends to swarm in early spring. If you see swarm on your property then there is very high chance that your property, office or home is infested with termites.
Though termite can infest anytime, in Hyderabad spring is the most likely season for termite infestation.
You can find winged termites emerging at home during this season. Thus, it is always recommended to get Anti-Termite Treatment in Hyderabad done during summers or spring.
Termites, not only destroy your furniture, wardrobes, other wooden material, books, clothes but are also capable of destroying the foundation and strength of a structure, building, home as they get cellulose food for infestation from houses and buildings.
Termites are not so easy to spot. It is hard to identify signs of termite infestations immediately as they are experts in secretly hiding and feeding on our furniture. But still there are few signs you can look for to know whether your home is termite infested or not:
Tunnels of mud, usually vertical, around the foundation of the interior wall or exterior wall.
Look for swarms or discarded wings of termites near windows, doors, sinks, cupboards, as they usually grow up there and can give you a hint that your home is termite affected.
Appearance of flying termites or "Swarmers" near light.
Sometimes, touching or patting the surface of the furniture can give you an idea of termite infestation.
Damaged wood sounds hollow, and in case wood is badly damaged, the surface may be broken.
Reduce humidity in all crawl spaces.
Prevent shrubs and any other vegetation from growing.
Good drainage should be maintained so that there is no standing water. Leaking drainage and pipes tends to create a moisture which attracts termites.
Entry points around water and utility pipes and lines should be sealed. All potential access points should be completely sealed.
Get rid of all the wastes near your house.
Get rid of standing water on your roof.
Repair structural damages caused by moisture as soon as possible.
Schedule a regular inspection by termite pest control professionals.
Termites are popularly known as Deemak in Hindi are the silent destroyers having the ability to feed on your wooden furniture like sofas, shelves, drawers, wardrobes without any immediate sign of damage.
They are small soft-bodied insects living in a highly organized colony made up of mud tunnels and need moisture for survival.
Termites can secretly hide and bloom in your house without showing any prompt signs of damaged initially. They are attracted to cellulose-based plant material and our home easily provides them with cellulose food.
There are mainly four different types of termites found in India – Dry wood termite, Damp wood termite, Formosan termite and subterranean termites.
Drywood Termites- Drywood termites can be 25mm long. Drywood termites are attracted to water damaged woods. These termites attack wood structure, furniture and frames. They get all the nutrition from wood and they do not require moisture from the soil. They can live in a dry environment. They can be found in wood near a water source such as near leaking pipes.
Subterranean Termites- Subterranean termites colonies also are divided into soldiers, workers and reproductive and its colonies can have up to 2 million members. They live underground in the soil. Subterranean termites can easily form large colonies with several workers and they can very quickly eat through wood.
Formosan Termites- Formosan termites single colony consists of about thousands of termites and its colonies can be up to 300 feet long. Its colonies are divided into soldiers, workers and reproductive. Formosan termites are devastating in nature and are darker in colour. They are very devouring and aggressive in nature and so once they infest it becomes very difficult to control.
Dampwood Termites- These types of termites are larger in size as compared to other termite species. These termites don't have workers so all the young termites do the work for the colony. These type of termites are found in woods. Dampwood termites do not require moisture from the soil. You will come across drywood termites in dead decaying wood and trees. Not only this they have also been found in buildings.
Read more about Four types of termites and some useful facts about them.
The basic castes in a colony are queens, kings, workers, soldiers and alates.
Termite Queen and King : The Queen and the King in the termite colony reproduce, i.e. their function is to give life to the colony. They start out as an Alate leaving their parents' colony, dropping to the ground and shedding their wings to seek out an environment to nest.
Termite Workers : They are known as 'the doers' as they do all the work – feeding, grooming, excavating the nest and making tunnels, as a result, causing destruction in your homes. Termite workers do not defend and reproduce and make up the largest number within a colony.
Termite Soldiers : As the name suggests, they are the colony's defence. Termite soldiers defend the colony against attack by predatory enemies such as ants and are equipped with large jaws, sticky fluids or chemical spray to do so.
Alates : They are the future Queens & Kings. Alates are the winged reproductives who leave their nest and establish new termite colonies. Male and females pair off and look for a suitable environment to mate. They are often confused with ant swarmers.
Termite workers are pale, soft-bodied insects about one-quarter of an inch or less in length. Their antennae are straight.
Termites are mistakenly called white ants but are not ant-like in appearance.
Winged termites, also known as swarmers, have pigmented bodies with broad waists and two pairs of wings that are equal in size and shape, have bodies about one-quarter of an inch in length. The swarmers quickly shed their wings after a brief flight.
Activities of termites includes small pin holes in the surface of infested areas and the droppings accumulating below.
Termites being very tiny creatures can enter your house through the soil along the foundation, or through the crack merely being less than half an inch or through weep holes in bricks.
Since termites are capable of locating sources of moisture it is important that you do not keep wooden things wet to avoid termite infestation at home.
Ants and termites are often mistaken for each other nevertheless they are different insect groups.
First of all termites are generally white or pale in colour whereas ants can be red, black or brown in colour.
Secondly, termites have straight antenna whereas ants have a bent antenna.
Third, the hind wings of ants are much smaller than their front wings whereas the front and the hind wings of the termites are nearly equal in size.
Last but not the least ants have a clearly defined head, thorax and abdomen with a binding between them. On the other hand, termites are joined between the thorax and abdomen.
In nature, termites play a useful role helping wood be recycled to the soil as humus, an organic material that provides nutrients for plants and increases the ability of soil to retain water.
Using bacteria, protozoa and microbes that live inside their stomachs, termites are able to digest cellulose, the main constituent of wood. They are extremely well organized and persistent in their search for new food sources. Contrary to what one might think, they will eat anything containing cellulose i.e. wallpaper, books, boxes, carpet backing, drywall and even furniture.
A working termites may live for one to two years. A queen termite may live for decade.

Mary Mundrane-Zweiacher, PT, ATC, CHT, will be working with Bayhealth's Outpatient Rehabilitation Staff in Dover and soon twice a week in Middletown.
A Bayhealth Hand Therapist will start seeing patients in Middletown soon.
Mary Mundrane-Zweiacher, PT, ATC, CHT, will be working with Bayhealth's Outpatient Rehabilitation Staff in Dover and soon twice a week in Middletown.
Bayhealth announced Mundrane-Szeiacher's welcome Jan. 29.
"For a pianist, a finger injury is a life-changer," Mundrane-Zweiacher said. "Everyone's injuries are different. Hand therapy has to meet the needs of the patient."
Mundrane-Zweiacher also offers athletic training services and general hand therapy.
Hand therapy uses techniques to help reduce swelling and exercises to help joints and tendons regain range of motion.
Hand immobility can be caused by burns, scarring, or major trauma, and one of the most common injuries that sends patients to Mundrane-Zweiacher is closing a car door on their hands or fingers.
A lifelong athlete, Mundrane-Zweiacher was a Biology and Pre-med major at Ursinus College when she took a job as the football team's manager, a decision that she said would change her life.
After completing a physical therapy program at Emory University, in Atlanta, Mundrane-Zweiacher worked at Southern Regional Medical Center, coordinated all sports medicine for Clayton County, Georgia, and served as the County's first athletic trainer.
She did stints at the Olympic Training Center and the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.
When she moved to Delaware, she joined a friend's physical therapy practice, where she fell in love with hand therapy.
Mundrane-Zweiacher enjoys hand therapy because of the challenges presented by working with many small structures in a small area. Each separate structure—tendons, joints, bones—in the hand must be rehabilitated independently and then as a unit to restore proper function without weakening neighboring structures.
While many people believe that painful joint and bone conditions in the hand are a fact of life, these symptoms may be relieved or even eliminated through therapeutic techniques.
Mundrane-Zweiacher hopes to offer solutions to a wider range of patients by expanding her services to Middletown.
"No one should repair the garage door opener if they are not knowledgeable about the mechanics involved," Mundrane-Zweiacher said. "That's one of the main reasons people end up in my office. Call a professional for that job."

Retailers Weather Economic Storms in the Cloud with Office 365
From Microsoft's General Manager for Worldwide Retail Tracy Issel
Retailers are vital to the global economy. Retail is directly or indirectly responsible for 18% U.S. GDP and supports more than 41 million jobs in the United States alone.
That's why the monumental shifts facing the retail industry are so important to all of us. Never have we seen such dramatic and tectonic swings in consumer shopping behaviors, preferences and expectations, largely driven by new technologies and form factors. With consumers having increased options for how and when they shop , staying competitive has meant retailers must truly put customers at the heart of their business and seek new ways to create the most value, revenue and loyalty.
To adapt, retailers must deliver a modern sales and customer service experience that is personal, seamless and differentiated. And, they must operate with the utmost efficiency.
Increasingly, retailers are turning to the cloud to tackle these challenges. In the 2012 Gartner Annual CIO Survey, Tier 1 retail CIOs rated cloud computing as one of their top five technology priorities through 2015. [1]
Why are retailers flocking to the cloud?
Increased Agility. Retailers are using Office 365 to improve employee communications and collaboration, enabling them to move faster to share best practices, roll out promotions and launch new products. At BCBGMAXAZRIAGROUP, an Office 365-based system connects store managers and employees across over 45 countries, enabling the premier fashion house to roll out promotions and new products more quickly as well as move faster to replicate best practices across their network of stores.
Customer Feedback. One of the biggest challenges facing retailers historically has been getting feedback from store associates and customers back to HQ. By connecting HQ and stores with modern communications and social tools, retailers can more quickly and easily capture and act on customer feedback. At Red Robin, they were able to use Yammer, the leading enterprise social network and part of Office 365, to gather customer feedback and implement changes in just one month, a process that historically took a year or longer.
Reduced Costs. Customers cut cost by eliminating infrastructure, reducing travel costs and streamlining operations. At Helly Hansen, they expect to cut annual travel costs by 10-15% by using Office 365 to connect employees, conduct trainings and roll out the latest store promotions and display models.
Greater Flexibility. As retailers scale their workforce up or down based on seasonality, store openings and/or acquisition, Office 365 helps them grow flexibility by adding, removing or reassigning licenses quickly and easily. And, because it's based on familiar Office tools, employee training is reduced.
Office 365 has become the go-to choice of retailers for software-as-a-service. Six of the top 10 largest retailers in the US (according to the National Retail Federation) use Office 365. Our retail customers employ more than 8 million people, more than the total population of Hong Kong. This includes notable, global industry leaders such as Tesco, McDonalds, Starbucks, GAP, J.C. Penney, Helly Hansen, Lowe's, Coles, Hallmark, Lojas Renner and hundreds of other retailers.
So, why is Office 365 the de facto choice for retail?
Custom Fit. Any retailer can tell you that one size does not fit all. Office 365 is available in packages tailored to the needs of every type of user – from the board room to the stock room to the retail floor. Corporate workers can get the full Office experience, while task workers can get Office Web Apps from any device with a browser.
Modern Collaboration. Nearly 25% of retail and hospitality employees are between the ages of 16 and 24, and this generation is less likely to use e-mail than social networking or text to communicate. Tesco, the third largest retailer in the world, embraced this idea. The company experienced a cultural shift by implementing more flexible ways of working and offering younger employees the latest technology tools. With Office 365, employees are able to quickly access experts, information and tools to help them do their job regardless of location.
Office 365 for enterprises includes Yammer, the leading enterprise social network used in 85% of the Fortune 500. It delivers a familiar experience that encourages openness and sharing in a format that employees will embrace and use with minimal training.
Powerful Applications. Office 365 includes Lync Online and Skype for instant messaging, voice and video conferences; Outlook and Exchange Online for e-mail, calendaring, contacts and tasks; Yammer for social networking; SharePoint Online for a store portal and collaboration; and Office applications like Word, PowerPoint, Excel and OneNote. Separately, these applications are leaders in their categories. Together, they're the most complete productivity, communication and collaboration platform available.
Improved Security. By moving to Office 365, most customers increase their security and privacy. Office 365 provides advanced security, privacy and compliance controls, well beyond what any one firm can deliver on their own, all backed by Microsoft.
If you're a retailer on Office 365, we want to hear from you. How has Office 365 helped revolutionize your business, helped you think differently about engaging with your customers and helped you succeed and prosper. Visit the Office 365 Facebook page and tell us your story, or via Twitter at #Office365.
As the global economy emerges from the great recession, retail plays a critical role in driving global employment and growth. We're honored that so many leading retailers are choosing Office 365 in this time of reinvention.

Danny Ludeman, head of Wells Fargo Advisors (WFC), will retire on Jan. 1 after 34 years with the group, the company said Friday. He will be replaced by Mary Mack, who now leads the WFA Financial Services Group.
Ludeman was tapped to be executive vice president of Wells Fargo Advisors after it merged with Wachovia in 2008. He led Wachovia Securities for nearly 10 years and held key leadership posts at Wheat First Securities before First Union/Wachovia acquired that firm.
"Under Danny's leadership, we have created a premier brokerage and advisory firm whose success is based on offering clients advice and planning through multiple channels, in brokerage offices, retail bank stores or online," said David M. Carroll, head of Wells Fargo's Wealth, Brokerage and Retirement business, in a press release. "His many contributions to Wells Fargo, his commitment to our communities across the country, and his strong dedication to the client will be missed."
Wells Fargo Advisors has some 15,000 advisors with more than $1 trillion in client assets. It is based in St. Louis, which was the home of Wachovia, while the parent company is headquartered in San Francisco.
"Danny Ludeman has had a long and distinguished career and clearly has been a leader of financial advisors," said Chip Roame, head of Tiburon Strategic Advisors, in an interview with ThinkAdvisor. "That type executive is probably a dying breed inside these larger firms, as the industry is more likely to see corporate executives rotating through to lead brokerage."
Mack joined predecessor firm First Union in 1984 and has held a variety of leadership positions for groups including Wealth Brokerage Services, Investment Services Group, and Wachovia Client Partnership. She was managing director of Healthcare Corporate Banking and a General Bank regional president. She now serves on the Private Client Services Committee for the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, or SIFMA.
"Mary Mack is a longtime bank brokerage leader, and was with Wachovia Securities" and other predecessor firms of Wells Fargo Advisors," Roame added.
"She's probably a great pick," said the consultant, who will host the fall Tiburon CEO Summit starting Monday in San Francisco.

Former Maryland guard Logan Aronhalt has signed a 10-month contract to play basketball with Assigeco Casalpusterlengo in Italy.
Aronhalt, who averaged 6.0 points per game as an off-the-bench 3-point threat in his lone season with the Terrapins, signed a contract last Friday while playing in a Las Vegas showcase and will leave for Italy on August 15.
With Casalpusterlengo, Aronhalt will have an opportunity to display his scoring ability after knocking down 43.4 percent of his 3-point attempts last season.
"I think it was a big piece," said Aronhalt of his ability to score. "European teams bring over Americans to score quite a bit. I think I will have a role as a scorer and a be a central part of the offense. I'm excited to see how I fit in, meet and play with my new teammates. It's an exciting opportunity for me."
A third-division Italian team, Casalpusterlengo finished fourth in its division last season and is located about 40 miles south of Milan. It won't be the first time Aronhalt has traveled to the country.
"I played in two tournaments in Italy in high school and I loved it," said Aronhalt. "I stayed with an Italian family when I played over there for a couple weeks in high school and just enjoyed the entire experience. It's a beautiful country."
Aronhalt was also able to lean on another former Terp who has been playing overseas for advice.
"I talked with Sean Mosley and he really enjoyed his time [overseas]," said Aronhalt. "You have to be enjoy being away from home and immersing yourself to their culture."
While he's hopeful for a long career in professional basketball, Aronhalt is just six credits shy of earning his master's degree in exercise physiology and plans to return to College Park next summer to finish his coursework.
Though he was only at Maryland for one year, he says his time with the staff helped him immensely in preparing for the next step in his career.
"I learned a lot from Coach Turgeon. I just admire how he is open and honest and we always knew where we stood and what we needed to do to improve individually and collectively… Playing at Maryland really helped my stock."

Just to clarify:
in M1 the number of chromosomes is halved as homologous chromosomes separate.
in M2 the chromatids separate.
in terms of numbers, say for humans you'd have 46 chromosomes at the start, then 23 after M1, then 23 chromatids after M2…?
I've given myself a headache with this…
and what is the cell at the start? A gamete? If so wouldn't it just have 23 chromosomes to start with.
I'm deeply confused, to say the least.
Please help me… : )
April 12, 2009 at 9:48 pm #90121PicaqParticipant
The cell at the start of meiosis is not a gamete, but a germ cell (meaning it will divide itself into gametes in the reproductive organs). So, the cell starts out as 2n= 2 sets of chromosomes= a diploid cell (46 Chromosomes). Before it enters meiosis, its chromosomes have been duplicates (DNA synthesis), which means that the chromosomes each have 2 chromatids joined together in an "X" shape. After meiosis 1, the homologous chromosomes separate, so that each of the 2 daughter cells have 23 chromosomes= n= a haploid cell (23 chromosomes), however, each chromosome still consists of 2 chromatids (still in that X shape). In meiosis 2, the haploid daughter cells' chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate and then split into individual chromatids, that is, each chromosome in the resulting 4 gametes after meiosis 2 have 23 chromosomes, but each chromosome consists of only one chromatid— an "l" shape.
I hope this makes sense.
March 2, 2010 at 11:32 am #98040ptabbutt432Participant
This Biology book (Biology, 9th edition, Mader, Sylvia) states that a chromosome is one side of the "X" and a chromatid is the top portion of the "X". You are stating that the Chromosome is the "X" and that the chromatid is one side of the "X". The reason this is so confusing is that all of us are reading different explanations of the same thing. How do we know who is giving us the correct information? My instructor wants me to think the book is correct. Are you more prominent than Sylvia Mader, who has written a book which may or may not include the correct information? I'm not trying to argumentative, because, as we all know, anyone can write a book, but not everyone has the credentials that create believability. It's really important to me to have the correct information because I'm writing a paper for class, and I don't want to look stupid.
At the start of Meiosis I, the cell has 46 PAIRS or SINGLE chromosomes? When the cell divides, and at the end of telophase I, there are 2 daughter cells that contain 23 PAIRS or SINGLE chromosomes with 2 chromatids, meaning 46 chromatids? At the end of telophase II, their are 4 daughter cells, each containing 23 SINGLE Chromosomes, each with one chromatid? Or, maybe it's 23 chromosomes, each separated, making 46 chomatids?
I feel as if this is all wrong. What am I not getting?
March 2, 2010 at 2:27 pm #98044mamoruParticipant
It sounds like you have it essentially right. Think of it like this. Imagine that A and B are a homologous pair of chromosomes in a normal ploidy germ cell.
So, the normal cell, BEFORE DNA replication is like this: AB
During the interphase leading into Meiosis I, the DNA will replicate, so going into Metaphase I, you have this:
AABB. (at this point, you can think of "AA" or "BB" as one x-shaped chromosome that you will see under a microscope)
During Anaphase I and Telophase I, the homologous pair will segregate into the daughter cells, so you get this:
These will then go into their respective Meiosis II phases, and end up like this after Anaphase II and Telophase II:
So, you have 4 haploid daughter cells (the gametes), each with one copy of one chromosome from a homologous pair.
So, in the case of humans, there are 23 "AB" homologous pairs. Call them whatever you want… Pair AB, CD, EF, GH, etc. if you like… the point is, each pair replicates and segregates as in the AB example above. Of course, there is some shuffling going on with crossing over, which halves of the pairs get segregated with other halves, etc. leading to a very large number of possible combinations.
Hope this helps you visualize it better. 🙂
By the way, don't get too confused by the terms "chromosome" and "chromatid". Chromosome can refer to both 1.) the X shape you see during prophase and metaphase, which is two chromatids joined by a centromere, and 2.) a single piece of coiled DNA in a cell (so a human cell has 23 pairs of these). #2 is essentially the same as a chromatid. We call chromosomes "chromatids" only during cell division when they are duplicated, supercoiled, and the two copies (now called chromatids) are joined together by the centromere. So, "chromatid" really means "sister copy of a chromosome", and when the two copies are joined together we also call that a "chromosome".
Annoying, eh? 😉
March 6, 2010 at 7:19 pm #98147scholardParticipant
Just to confirm something….
I know humans have 46 chromosomes. Knowing as well that they have 23 pairs of chromosomes, however, are "chromosomes" the same thing as "homologous chromosomes", with the terms just being used interchangeably?
March 30, 2010 at 9:31 am #98759veenaParticipant
at the start of meiosis the cell is in diploid condition that is for humanbeings have 46chromosomes(2*23)
during meiosis-1 dna gets replicates,now we have 92chromosomes(46*2)
then chromatid formation occurs which results in 92*2(184 chromatids) each chromosme having two chromatids attached at centromere
at the end of meiosis we will have two cells having 92chromatids(46 chromosomes)
during meiosis-2 each cell having 46 chromoses divides in two cells each having 23chromosomes that is haploid cells

This is just wrong . Chromatid formation is the DNA replication. The two steps are the same. You can only have 46 chromosomes MAX, and 98 chromatids when it duplicates.

Not really. Consider you have chromosome 1 and chromosome 5. These are not homologous 😉

Meiosis is a special type of cell division necessary for sexual reproduction. In animals, meiosis produces gametes (sperm and egg cells), whilst in other organisms, such as fungi, it generates spores.
Whilst the process of meiosis bears a number of similarities with the the 'life-cycle' cell division process of mitosis, it differs in two important respects:-
the chromosomes in meiosis undergo a recombination which shuffles the genes producing a different genetic combination in each gamete, compared with the co-existence of each of the two separate pairs of each chromosome (one received from each parent) in each cell which results from mitosis.
the outcome of meiosis is four (genetically unique) haploid cells, compared with the two (genetically identical) diploid cells produced from mitosis.
Meiosis begins with one diploid cell containing two copies of each chromosome—one from the organism's mother and one from its father—and produces four haploid cells containing one copy of each chromosome. Each of the resulting chromosomes in the gamete cells is a unique mixture of maternal and paternal DNA, ensuring that offspring are genetically distinct from either parent. This gives rise to genetic diversity in sexually reproducing populations, which provides the variation of physical and behavioural attributes (phenotypes) upon which natural selection acts, at a population level, leading to adaptation within the population, resulting in evolution.
Prior to the meiosis process the cell's chromosomes are duplicated by a round of DNA replication, creating a maternal and paternal version of each chromosome (homologs) composed of two exact copies, sister chromatids, attached at the centromere region. In the beginning of meiosis the maternal and paternal homologs pair to each other. Then they typically exchange parts by homologous recombination leading to crossovers of DNA between the maternal and paternal versions of the chromosome. Spindle fibers bind to the centromeres of each pair of homologs and arrange the pairs at the spindle equator. Then the fibers pull the recombined homologs to opposite poles of the cell. As the chromosomes move away from the center the cell divides into two daughter cells, each containing a haploid number of chromosomes composed of two chromatids. After the recombined maternal and paternal homologs have separated into the two daughter cells, a second round of cell division occurs. There meiosis ends as the two sister chromatids making up each homolog are separated and move into one of the four resulting gamete cells. Upon fertilization, for example when a sperm enters an egg cell, two gamete cells produced by meiosis fuse. The gamete from the mother and the gamete from the father each contribute one half of the set of chromosomes that make up the new offsping's genome.
Meiosis uses many of the same mechanisms as mitosis, a type of cell division used by eukaryotes like plants and animals to split one cell into two identical daughter cells. In all plants and in many protists meiosis results in the formation of spores: haploid cells that can divide vegetatively without undergoing fertilization. Some eukaryotes, like Bdelloid rotifers, have lost the ability to carry out meiosis and have acquired the ability to reproduce by parthenogenesis. Meiosis does not occur in archaea or bacteria, which reproduce via asexual processes such as binary fission.
July 22, 2011 at 1:22 am #105668nebeyuasratParticipant
well in the beginning you have a grem cell(sex cell)
1- the cell goes throught the cell cycle
#don't forget that in the s-phase the chromosome duplicate
2-the 1st stage of miosis is the prophase I
-mitotic spindles start to be created and the nucleus starts to disintergrate
3-2nd phase is the methaphase 1
note some book have a premethaphase as one stage
-in methaphase I the duplicated homologues align at the methaphase plate
4-the 4th stage is anaphase I
in this stage the homologues migrate towards opposing poles
note that one pair goes to one end and the other homologue to the other
and while migrating the mitotic spindle depolymerize
5-the 5th stage usually consists of two stages simultaniously occuring
they are the telophase and the cytokinesis stage
in these stages the homologues are at opposing ends and the nucleus start to reapear and division of the cytoplasm occurs
now that you have two cells with a homologue inside we can basically conclude that they go through the same process as in MITOSIS(not miosis)
August 1, 2011 at 7:49 am #105747kyra13Participant
Meiosis comprises two successive nuclear divisions with only one round of DNA replication.
Four stages can be described for each nuclear division.
Interphase: Before meiosis begins, genetic material is duplicated.
First division of meiosis
Prophase 1: Duplicated chromatin condenses. Each chromosome consists of two, closely associated sister chromatids. Crossing-over can occur during the latter part of this stage.
Metaphase 1: Homologous chromosomes align at the equatorial plate.
Anaphase 1: Homologous pairs separate with sister chromatids remaining together.
Telophase 1: Two daughter cells are formed with each daughter containing only one chromosome of the homologous pair.
Second division of meiosis: Gamete formation
Prophase 2: DNA does not replicate.
Metaphase 2: Chromosomes align at the equatorial plate.
Anaphase 2: Centromeres divide and sister chromatids migrate separately to each pole.
Telophase 2: Cell division is complete. Four haploid daughter cells are obtained.
One parent cell produces four daughter cells. Daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes found in the original parent cell and with crossing over, are genetically different.
Meiosis differs from mitosis primarily because there are two cell divisions in meiosis, resulting in cells with a haploid number of chromosomes.

Trolltech to release Qt/Mac GPL
Trolltech announced today that they will release a GPL version of Qt/Mac on June 23rd at the Apple's World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) 2003 in San Francisco taking their successful dual licensing strategy for Qt/X11 to the Mac. Also the upcoming Qt Script for Applications (QSA), Trolltech's scripting toolkit for Qt-based applications, will be available under a dual license on Mac OS X.
Re: GPL only
You will restrict the rights of a minority of users that are up to no good and preserve the freedom for the rest. I prefer freedom over lock-in anytime.
By tuxo at Wed, 2003/06/18 - 5:00am
Re: GPL only
The GPL asserts absolutely no controls over the rights of end users. It is not a use, but a distribution license. It does affect your rights as a developer if you want to use their code. I think you may be using the word "rights" incorrectly here, to mean "business desires."
By Michael Greer at Wed, 2003/06/18 - 5:00am
Re: GPL only
No, nobody is beiong restricted - you are perfectly free to not use Qt at all.
By Stephen Douglas at Wed, 2003/06/18 - 5:00am
Re: GPL only
Well said. I can't understand people complaining about Trolltech desisions.

Re: GPL only
I can't understand people complaining about Trolltech desisions.
When Microsoft recently released a license that said in essence "you can't use the GPL", the community was outraged. But when Trolltech says "you must use the GPL" it's okay. I don't see the fundamental difference between the two.
By David Johnson at Wed, 2003/06/18 - 5:00am
Re: GPL only
Yep, agreed.
And remember people defends GPL agains the "viral" speech from M$ but attacks m$ right to do the shared source....
I don't like BSD, I think it's bad (don't worry to reply about this, keep reading...), but that just me. I won't even say anything besides this from anyone who wants to use BSD, and I must always enphasis the "I" in the statement. Simply saying BSD is bad/GPL is bad isn't a nice thing, always remember it's just YOUR option and fights will diminish or vanish.
Peace people!

QT Script?
Is QT Script comparable to VB Script/Visial Basic? Where are the tutorials? I think it's time to learn it. Can I use Kommander and utilize QT script behind the scenes to do useful stuff with databases the way I use VB/Access in the MS world?

Re: QT Script?
Sincerly I don't know anything about QT Scripts, but even if right now you can't use them directly in Kommander (can anyone with QT Script experience try it?) I believe it will be quite easy to implement if the only requirement is to pass the scripts to some interpreter to execute. And it will give you a lot of power.

Re: QT Script?
QT Script and Kommander are two different animals. It's possible to make Kommander use QT Script or, as an alternative, Rich Moore's Javascript bindings. Some consideration has been given to this along with enabling a default script repository to help users do scripted actions. There are some changes in the works for Kommander. they include more widget support, data widgets and script objects as well as sub dialog objects. Since Kommander is language neutral it will be very easy to use with PHP 4.3x in CGI mode. This means PHP authors could create quick mini apps much like PHP GTK but with KDE widgets and I think it a much nicer environment. Kommander also directly communicates via DCOP.
Perhaps the primary difference between the two is that you can actually make a dialog with Kommander that does something and has absolutely no code because of our text associations. QT Script will have the advantage of a newer implementation with QT Designer and in this area we could catch up with more developers to support it. Marc has had little time for it lately.
These applications are similar. It appears QT Script will be more widely supported and will have extensive capabilities as a scripted development environment. However Kommander will remain simpler with text associations and have advantages in language neutral development, built in DCOP and possibly other areas.
What I really hope is that a language specific program without the simple and quick abilities Kommander has does not end up overshadowing it. In my opinion Kommander has a lot of potential for all of KDE. I really hope we get some developers with time to work on it as we have with Quanta. It can extend any KDE app with DCOP pretty easily.

Re: QT Script?
QT Script is based on ECMAscript, so it's roughly the same as Javascript/JScript.

Looks cool
Good to see the GPLd Qt get more powerful! One question - is that just a Mac-style skin it's using in those screenshots, or is it actually using native widgets?
It kind of looks a bit, hmm, messy? Hard to describe. It looks like it is using a skin though....
By Mike Hearn at Tue, 2003/06/17 - 5:00am
Re: Looks cool
To keep to the notion of 'code-once-compile-many' Qt doesn't use native widgets on the different platforms.
On the MS platform, the style is very simple to emulate, and so you wouldn't notice, but on the Mac it shows.
Qt on the Mac does not utilise Cocoa.
By AFAIK at Tue, 2003/06/17 - 5:00am
Re: Looks cool
No, actually, Qt/Mac does use Carbon to draw widgets. It's as native as Carbon is, which being an official Apple API, is pretty damn native. Back before Qt/Mac was released, Apple helped TT with this. Qt/Mac of course doesn't use Cocoa.
Qt/Windows on WindowsXP also uses natively-drawn widgets.
Note that neither is "Native Widgets".. they are, however, "Natively-drawn".
Re: Looks cool
Yes, it's just a skin. That is the nature of Qt -- nothing ever maps to a native control -- ever. That makes it all the more difficult for Trolltech to port Qt since it always has to change the appearance of its widgets whenever developers of the operating system change the look of their controls.
By Mike Vance at Tue, 2003/06/24 - 5:00am
Re: Looks cool
Once again, it isn't a skin. It usses the apperance manager. It's as native as Carbon or Cocoa.

wonderful news
qt is a wonderful toolkit, hearing that it will become free for another platform is wonderful, but i continue hoping a gpl version also for windows. I don't know if trolltech is planning to do this, but it would be a great thing it would present kde and other qt application to the great public.

By fred at Thu, 2003/06/19 - 5:00am
My dream ...
Wouldn't it be nice if TT could LGPL the core part of QT (hopefully on all platforms)? Only the part the KDE libs link against. That would ease the adoption (w.r.t. to the LGPL GTK libs) and they would not loose their business case and could keep all the database / motif / whatever exotic QT-stuff separate GPL/commercial.

I've spent the last 4 months porting a fair amount (> 15 kloc) of qt code to std c++ on the backend (removing *all* qt, and writing my own classes that map to qt's classes where needed) and rewriting the gui in native cocoa/objective-c.
And now I discover it was completely unnecessary!
Arg! :P

Re: Arg!
Hey, my heart goes out to you. Kommander was supposed to be totally revolutionary and now the question remains whether it will get teh attention it still deserves. So... any chance you feel like working on Quanta or Kommander for the Mac? ;-)
By Eric Laffoon at Wed, 2003/06/18 - 5:00am
Re: Arg!
Probably it would have been unnecessary anyway. When you say you're porting to std c++, I suppose you aren't talking about the GUI, just converting QString to std::string and likewise. If that's the case, you could have used the non-GUI part of Qt/X11, which is very portable and should not been hard to compile under OS X at all. This is done for example in Doxygen: http://www.doxygen.org

Well, I obviously didn't read your comment completely before posting my reply. My bad. What I said still applies to the "backend", though.

Re: Arg!
yup.. doxygen does this, as does tinyqt (http://www.uwyn.com/projects/tinyq/-- which probably already builds fine on osx without any X dependencies)

How do you get through to people?
I have moved into a property in Surbiton.
The previous resident was Harriet Little, who had 'The Business' newspaper delivered to her.
Although I have phoned her several times, and then even wrote to 'The Business' newspaper people, and wrote to Harriet Little - it hasn't made the slightest bit of difference.
Harriet Little has moved to: Orchard Close, 1 Oxshott Way, Cobham, Surrey.

Possibly overcoming a certain problem?
Dear Reader,
Being born slow and clumsy, to me, the Law of the Jungle, hasn't appeared to allow me to be closely intimate with womankind - even though male peer-pressure (conveniently hidden from women) is trying to force me to think about women - the way women don't want me to.
The consolation is that, although being slow and clumsy means that I need to learn physical and emotional Independence - yet still... being slow and clumsy does prevent me qualifying for the forces, when people should ever be called up.
Also, what made me live for the first time in ages was finding out, through experience, that:
Eating Only When Hungry Reduces Libido.
Being in more physical control helped me to emotionally see the Law of the Jungle in a deeper way, and bring Responsibility, Bravery and Unselfishness into the equasion:
If a woman cannot feel safe with any individual man - then she has every right to feel safe from him.
I do hope this will help anyone concerned.
Yours sincerely,
Headstone Frollo

It took just one day for the Jack Russell terrier-shepherd found in Shiprock, N.M., with a crossbow bolt in his hip to be adopted.
Bow was transferred to the La Plata County Humane Society after spending some time with a foster home to rehabilitate his leg and socialize him after the trauma.
The Humane Society received more than 20 applications and 50 phone calls and emails from people across the country, including from California and Indiana, interested in the 3-month-old puppy, according to a news release.
The lucky family that adopted him lives in the Four Corners and saw Bow when he was recovering at the Farmington Animal Shelter, the release said.
Im very glad Bow was able to find the home he deserves, but we are still full with animals that are just as deserving to finding homes of their own, said Chris Nelson, director of animal services at the center, in the release.
The Humane Society has 14 puppies that came in March 2 and three litters that will be arriving next week, Nelson previously told The Durango Herald.

The diaphragm is a dome-shaped bowl made of thin, flexible rubber that sits over the cervix.
The diaphragm keeps sperm from entering the uterus by blocking the cervix. For added protection, spermicide is put into the bowl of the diaphragm and along its edges before inserting the diaphragm high into the vagina so it covers the cervix.
The diaphragm is inserted up to 6 hours before having sex. More spermicide must be used each time a girl has sex while wearing the diaphragm. Additional spermicide should also be used if a girl is going to have sex more than 3 hours after she inserted the diaphragm. After sex, the diaphragm must be left in for at least 6 hours, but no longer than 24 hours. The diaphragm can be removed by placing a finger into the vagina to pull it out.
Each time the diaphragm is removed, it must be washed (with mild soap and water), rinsed, and air dried, then stored in its case. It should not be dusted with baby powder and should never be used with oil-based lubricants such as mineral oil, petroleum jelly, or baby oil. These substances can cause the rubber to become brittle and crack. Other vaginal creams, such as yeast medicines, can also damage the rubber.
A diaphragm should be replaced at least every 2 years. It should be examined regularly for holes or weak spots, and replaced as needed.
Over the course of 1 year, 16 out of 100 typical couples who rely on the diaphragm with spermicide to prevent pregnancy will have an accidental pregnancy. In general, how well each type of birth control method works depends on a lot of things. In the case of a diaphragm, some of the most important things to be sure of are that it fits correctly, that is used every time a couple has sexual intercourse, and that spermicide is used appropriately.
The diaphragm does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Couples having sex must always use condoms along with the diaphragm to protect against STDs.
Abstinence (not having sex) is the only method that always prevents pregnancy and STDs.
Most women who use a diaphragm have no problems with it. The side effects that some women have include:
Girls who can take responsibility for sex in advance use diaphragms. If a girl chooses to use a diaphragm, she must also always have a supply of spermicide.
The diaphragm isn't good for anyone who is uncomfortable or uneasy with the thought of reaching into her vagina. And it may not be a good choice for girls with certain medical conditions, such as frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs). The diaphragm should not be used when a girl has her period.
A doctor must fit a girl with a diaphragm. During a pelvic exam the doctor will measure a girl's vagina and then determine which size of diaphragm is right for her. The doctor or nurse will then teach her how to insert and remove the diaphragm. A diaphragm that's inserted incorrectly or does not fit properly can result in pregnancy.
During the annual exam, the doctor will check that the diaphragm still fits correctly. The diaphragm may not fit correctly if a girl has gained or lost 10 pounds, had a baby, had an abortion, or was fitted when she was a virgin and she is now having sex. If any of these things have changed since her last exam, a girl should see her doctor to have the fit of the diaphragm checked rather than waiting until her annual exam.
A diaphragm usually costs about $15 to $75. It should be replaced every 2 years. There is also the cost of the doctor's visit and a fitting fee. Many health insurance plans cover these costs and family planning clinics (such as Planned Parenthood) charge much less. In addition, the cost of spermicide is about $0.50 to $1.50 per use.

Among recent actions by the SEC was the charging of a self-styled money manager for free-riding and fraud, while FINRA took on failures in WSPs and OATS compliance.
SEC Files Charges in Free-Ride Case
According to the SEC, Ronald Feldstein went for a free ride — literally — in a Bentley, thanks to a scheme in which he defrauded investors of almost half a million dollars and cost three brokerage firms more than $2 million.
Feldstein was charged by the SEC for a free-riding scheme in which he bought securities he never intended to pay for, should they prove unprofitable, and that he planned to pay for out of sales profits if the stocks went up. Instead, he planned to refuse to issue instructions to settle the trades and just walk away, leaving the broker-dealers holding the unprofitable positions.
He carried out this charade by means of three separate brokerage accounts in the names of two investment funds that he made up: Mara Capital Management and Vita Health of America. This lasted from September 2008 until February 2009.
Later in 2009, he tried a different strategy. He started pursuing longtime business acquaintances, among them a dry cleaner and a car leasing and servicing company. As a decades-long customer, he managed to persuade them to "invest" with him, offering such opportunities as a successful hedge fund, a promising penny stock, and a fashion company's initial public offering.
But Feldstein took their money — some $450,000 — and ran, to the Hamptons and on gambling junkets, and to buy the aforementioned Bentley. The money never even made it into an investment account; he either deposited his investors' funds into his own personal account or into another account belonging to an entity he owned that allowed him to spend the funds as he pleased.
The SEC charged Feldstein, Mara Capital and Vita Health of America. Trademore Capital Management was also charged as a relief defendant.
FINRA Fines G Research $1 Million on WSP Failures
G Research, formerly Gabelli & Co., was censured and fined $1 million by FINRA for written supervisory procedures that the agency said were not reasonably designed to bring about compliance with securities laws and regulations and NASD and FINRA rules when it came to private partnerships formed by firm registered representatives. FINRA also said the firm did not adequately supervise the private partnerships.
The WSPs did not provide adequate supervision on due diligence related to the hedge funds and funds of funds that were frequently offered to clients by the private partnerships. Among other shortcomings, the WSPs failed to provide specific guidance regarding the relative fees to be charged by the private partnerships. Contracts for private partnership investors obligated them to pay additional fees to invest with an affiliated advisor through a private partnership, but the WSPs contained no guidance on those fees, or when waivers to an investment minimum might be obtained.
There was also a failure to provide guidance on obligations imposed when members sell hedge funds and funds of hedge funds. The firm did not adequately evaluate a provision in the fund of funds' subscription agreements that disavowed its obligation to perform due diligence on the fund manager.
In addition, the firm did not enforce its own WSPs with regard to the formation, operation, marketing and sale of the private partnerships, including supervisory review of sales materials. That resulted in failure to approve the sales materials being used for the private partnerships before they were used, and failure to provide statements of securities held by the private partnerships to mandated firm departments. It also meant that insufficient disclosure in the documents disguised risks.
The firm neither admitted nor denied the findings, but consented to the censure and fine.
FINRA Hits Wedbush on OATS, WSPs
In two separate actions, FINRA censured and fined Wedbush Securities Inc. for failures in Order Audit Trail System reporting and supervision and for failures in its written supervisory procedures.
In the first case, the fine was $750,000, and the firm was required to bring in an independent consultant to review and suggest modifications to its OATS reporting and supervisory procedures.
According to FINRA's findings, for approximately 18 months, Wedbush failed to transmit approximately 1.6 billion ROEs to OATS; that constituted the overwhelming majority of its OATS reporting obligation for the period. Also, during four different review periods, the firm submitted approximately 270 million ROEs late; it consistently logged late reporting violation rates many times higher than its peer group and industry averages. It also failed to repair and resubmit more than 12.7 million ROEs that were rejected because of context and system errors.
The firm had more than 45 million order reports that OATS was unable to link to the related order routed to Nasdaq or to the corresponding New Order Report because of inaccurate, incomplete or improperly formatted data. Also, for more than two years, the firm had violations for non-reporting, over-reporting, late reporting, failure to repair repairable rejected ROEs within the required time period, and failure to populate the proper ROE reconciliation identifier on resubmitted ROEs.
It also did not consistently conduct required daily and monthly supervisory reviews and failed to maintain required daily and monthly supervisory logs. Moreover, its supervisory system was designed to correct errors as they occurred instead of preventing them and being in compliance with OATS rules.
Also included in this particular instance was the fact that the firm's vice president in charge of correspondent services was not properly registered during a 34-month period.
In the second case, for which the firm was fined $72,500 and required to revise its WSPs, FINRA found that it failed to provide written notification disclosing to its customers its correct capacity in transactions and the reported price. It made available reports that included incorrect information, and its supervisory system was not adequate to ensure compliance.
In addition, there were other failures, including a lack of supervisory review for trade reporting and other rules as well as failure to provide accurate information to customers on transaction capacity, correct pricing and average pricing detail; to properly mark sale orders as short, which meant that it failed to report transactions in reportable securities to the Trade Reporting Facility (TRF) with a short sale indicator; and to show the correct order entry time and the correct long/short sale indicators in its proprietary trading ledger.
In both cases, the firm neither admitted nor denied the findings, but agreed to the censures and fines.
