The unofficial phrase was "It's our meat that made us famous." In the early 1990s, "The Eco-Friendly Leader in the Heartland" was introduced as the official slogan, which was later changed to "The Low-Priced Leader in Your Hometown," then supplanted by an unofficial slogan "An American Tradition To Serve Your Family Well." As of 2006, the slogan had been replaced with a lengthy phrase with an emphasis on rhymed words. Markets did not have an official corporate slogan.

He served as chief executive and president for 35 years. ![]() Also, there are two stores in Kern County, located in Ridgecrest and Mojave. There is also one store in Ventura County, located in Simi Valley. A few stores are also located in northern areas of San Diego County and parts of northern Los Angeles County, such as Santa Clarita and Palmdale, as well as Pasadena. In Los Angeles and Orange counties stores are mainly in communities east of the San Gabriel River. Through its Inland Empire base, stores are concentrated heavily throughout San Bernardino and Riverside counties in Southern California. In 2018, Stater sold its SuperRX pharmacy division to CVS. In 2006, the headquarters began construction of a 2,000,000-square-foot (190,000 m 2) facility at San Bernardino International Airport (formerly Norton Air Force Base) from its former location on the Colton– Grand Terrace border.

![]() ![]() ![]() ABAleons have strong ABA hyposensitivity phenotypes, while ABACUS1s have minor ABA hypersensitivity phenotypes 13, 14, 20. Ideal biosensors are also orthogonal, with minimal interaction with endogenous signalling and vice versa. ![]() ![]() ABACUS1s have a positive ratio change with high signal-to-noise ratio but poor sensitivity for endogenous ABA 14. Ligand-induced conformational changes in sensory domains alter the relative positions of the FPs, which can be detected by exciting the donor and measuring a change in relative acceptor and donor emissions, hereafter referred to as emission ratio change.ĪBAleons are negative ratio change biosensors that are sensitive to endogenous ABA concentrations, but have poor signal-to-noise ratios (small emission ratio change) 13, 20. The orientation and distance between these FPs determine the transfer of excitation energy via FRET from a donor FP to an acceptor FP 21. In ABAleons and ABACUS1 biosensors, ABA sensory domains are connected by linkers to a pair of fluorescent proteins 13, 14 (FP) (Supplementary Fig. Therefore, we engineered next-generation ABA biosensors and deployed them to dissect cellular ABA dynamics and mobilization in response to foliar humidity stress, and to establish a systemic role for ABA in maintaining local root growth in response to a distant shoot stress. However, existing ABA FRET biosensors, ABAleons and Abscisic Acid Concentration and Uptake Sensors 1 (ABACUS1s) 13, 14, 20 lack the full complement of strengths in terms of the signal-to-noise ratio or affinity required to easily quantify ABA. Direct ABA FRET biosensors 13, 14 that do not require additional signalling components have broad application potential beyond ABA quantification in plant cells and subcellular compartments for example, in ABA synthesizing pathogenic fungi 17, in human granulocytes where ABA is a cytokine 18, or in extracts from organisms where genetic modification is difficult using purified protein in vitro 19. Such biosensors are powerful tools to quantify metabolites in vivo at high spatiotemporal resolution 11, including phytohormones under changing environmental conditions 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. The availability of sensitive reporters, particularly Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) biosensors, for hormones, second messengers and metabolism is revolutionizing plant development, signalling and photosynthesis research 11. The sites of ABA biosynthesis, metabolism and translocation are the subject of intensive research, but progress has been hampered by limitations in tools to quantify accumulation and depletion of ABA on a tissue/cellular scale where regulatory decisions controlling ABA dynamics are made 1, 10. Although a molecular mechanism remains elusive, it has been proposed that ABA, acting as a dehydration signal, could be coordinating these root growth responses 5, 9. Interestingly, leaf water loss can cause changes in root growth responses and architecture: increasing transpiration genetically or through increased airflow produces larger root systems in Arabidopsis 5 and low relative humidity (RH) can promote root growth in many species 6, 7, 8. When roots experience low-water stress, for example, ABA closes the microscopic pores on leaves (stomata) to limit systemic water loss 2, 3, 4. Abscisic acid (ABA) is a phytohormone that accumulates systemically under various local water stresses to coordinate responses over a complex and often-large morphology 1. Plant decision-making is distributed rather than centrally coordinated, but to survive and overcome stresses such as lack of water, responses must also be systemically coordinated. ![]() ![]() ![]() There are language settings, whitelisted websites, advanced options, and help available.

How Did Changes in Tax Rules Between 20 Affect Average Federal Tax Rates? Households in the lowest income quintile received approximately 6 percent of after-tax income in 2011, compared with 5 percent of before-tax income, and households in the highest income quintile received about 48 percent of after-tax income, compared with 52 percent of before-tax income, CBO estimates. The progressive federal tax structure also results in a distribution of after-tax income that is slightly more even than that of before-tax income. In contrast, households in the lowest income quintile received approximately 5 percent of total before-tax income in 2011 and paid less than 1 percent of all federal taxes, CBO estimates. Households in the highest income quintile received a little more than half of total before-tax income and paid more than two-thirds of all federal taxes in 2011. ![]() Households in the middle quintile paid about $7,000 in federal taxes, and households in the highest quintile paid about $58,000 in federal taxes, which results in average federal tax rates of approximately 11 percent and 23 percent, respectively.Īs a result of the progressive federal tax structure, households in the highest quintile of before-tax income paid a greater share of federal taxes in 2011 than they received in before-tax income, while households in each of the other quintiles paid a smaller share of federal taxes than they received in before-tax income (see figure below). Households in the lowest income quintile paid about $500 in federal taxes in 2011, on average, which amounted to an average federal tax rate of about 2 percent, CBO estimates. Overall, federal taxes are progressive, meaning that average tax rates generally rise as income increases. Relative to those two income groups, households in the highest income quintile had average before-tax income that was much higher-approximately $246,000. Among households in the middle income quintile, average before-tax income was about $66,000. Average before-tax income among households in the lowest one-fifth (or quintile) of the distribution of before-tax income was approximately $25,000 in 2011, CBO estimates (see table below). ![]() How Were Income and Federal Taxes Distributed in 2011?īefore-tax income was unevenly distributed across households in 2011. Thus, average household income after taxes was about $77,000, and the average federal tax rate (federal taxes divided by before-tax income) was 17.6 percent. Taken together, those taxes were about $17,000 per household, on average, in 2011. Federal taxes as examined in this report comprise four separate sources: individual income taxes, payroll (or social insurance) taxes, corporate income taxes, and excise taxes. The sum of those two amounts, which equals before-tax income, was about $94,000, on average. ![]() Government transfers, which include benefits from programs such as Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment insurance, averaged approximately $13,000 per household. In 2011, according to CBO's estimates, average household market income-a comprehensive income measure that consists of labor income, business income, capital income (including capital gains), and retirement income-was approximately $81,000. ![]() 1/27/2024 0 Comments Drawdown rules![]() ![]() Due to the fact that your money remains invested, which is often in the stock market, there is a chance that your fund may lose value. When you approach retirement, you keep your pension savings invested and withdraw funds from your pension pot, or ‘drawdown’. To access your money in this way, you must be 55 years or older and have a defined contribution pension. For example, splitting your pension pot equally between the two, giving you a balance of reliable guaranteed income alongside flexible access to larger sums if needed.

The early Qajar rulers like Fath ‘Ali Shah devoted time and resources to the definition of the Qajar’s royal image. Though oil painting had existed in Iran prior to the Qajars rise to power, the family brought the medium to prominence. The Qajars helped set the stage for the transition to modern art in Iran. The style has remained relevant for centuries, and a number of contemporary artists drawn on or reference the style in their works.īridging the gap between these ancient dynasties and modernity was the penultimate royal family to rule Iran, the Qajar dynasty. The faith he lead, called Manichaeism, heavily employed the miniature style in their religious texts, though none of them survive today. The artist and prophet Mani was creating figurative paintings back in the third century. Though the earliest miniatures which remain today were produced under the Timurids, the style has existed for at least a millennium prior to the Mongol invasion. 5), as well as reforming the layout standards of the manuscript pages to better emphasize harmony between the text and the images. The Timurids brought influence to the genre with the ethnicization of the figures so that they appeared more like Central and East Asians (Fig. The miniature – one of Iran’s most well-known artistic products - is a highly figurative genre of painting, and most miniatures were created with the purpose of illustrating scenes in a story, like Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh. During this time the art of the book was refined calligraphy was developed further and the miniature became a notable genre (Fig. What is known as the “golden age” of Persian painting began in the 14th century during the reign of the Turko-Mongol Timurids. The invasion of the Mongol’s had a schismatic effect on Persian society, especially in the realm of art and culture, which is why, along with the pieces themselves, the history and knowledge of authorship of the art prior to the invasion of the Mongols is lost. What we do know, from pieces that remain and from the relatively well kept literature from the time, is that in the Middle Ages, figurative wall paintings were the primary genre of painting, and that it was generally the more affluent in society who were able to enjoy these works in their homes. Much of the painting done prior to the invasion of the Mongols has been lost to time or to invading civilizations. The history of pre-modern Persian painting is difficult to distill because of the fragmentary nature of the history of the medium. The epigraphic style of Islamic art appeared on pottery and metalware towards the end of the millennium, but these works, as opposed to the architectural decorations, were primarily accessible to more affluent members of society. Islamic geometric design in stucco, tiling, and carvings became commonplace, and it was this kind of art that was most accessible to the masses. The absorption of the Islamic style into the Persian tradition by contrast, can be seen largely in architectural decorations. ![]() 3) were common in early works of Islamic art, and these come directly from the Sasanian tradition.

Surviving works from classical antiquity, starting in the 6th century BCE and ending in approximately the 5th century CE, largely come in the form of Achaemenid dynasty metalwork, pottery, and bas-reliefs such as the ones that appear on the staircase to the Apadana hall at Persepolis (Fig. 1), an ancient city near the Iraq border, and the site of present day Shush in Khuzestan Province, has been dated circa 4000 BCE. ![]() Iran has one of the oldest cultures in the world and, subsequently, has one of the world’s oldest image making traditions.

Related: A total solar eclipse and a 'ring of fire' make 2023 special for eclipse-chasers We asked Jamie Carter, Editor of and author of The Complete Guide To The Great North American Eclipse of April 8, 2024some frequently asked questions about solar eclipses. When a total or annular solar eclipse occurs, observers outside the area covered by the moon's umbra (the inner shadow) will see a partial eclipse instead.ĭuring a hybrid solar eclipse observers will be able to see either an annular or total solar eclipse depending on where they are located. As the trio of the sun, Earth and moon is not perfectly lined up, only part of the sun will appear to be obscured by the moon. Partial solar eclipses appear as if the moon is taking a "bite" out of the sun. These eclipses are aptly known as "ring of fire" eclipses. Instead, it dramatically appears as a dark disk obscuring a larger bright disk, giving the appearance of a ring of light around the moon. This makes for an exciting skywatching target for solar observers as the corona is usually obscured by the bright face of the sun.ĭuring an annular solar eclipse, the moon doesn't fully obscure the face of the sun, as is the case in a total eclipse. According to the educational website SpaceEdge Academy, 28% of solar eclipses are total, 35% are partial, 32% are annular and only 5% are hybrid.ĭuring a total solar eclipse the sky will darken and observers, with the correct safety equipment, may be able to see the sun's outer atmosphere, known as the corona. The type of solar eclipse will affect what happens and what observers will be able to see. ![]() NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured a solar eclipse on June 29, 2022. In most cases, a hybrid eclipse starts as an annular eclipse because the tip of the umbra falls just short of making contact with Earth then it becomes total because the roundness of the planet reaches up and intercepts the shadow's tip near the middle of the path, then finally it returns to annular toward the end of the path. Hybrid solar eclipses are also called annular-total (A-T) eclipses. As a result, only the penumbra (the partial shadow) passes over you, and the sun will be partially obscured.Ī rare hybrid solar eclipse occurs when the moon's distance from Earth is near its limits for the inner shadow - the umbra - to reach Earth and because the planet is curved. Instead, a ring of light is created around the moon.Ī partial solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and Earth when the trio is not perfectly aligned. At this distance, the moon appears smaller than the sun and doesn't cover the entire face of the sun. These solar eclipses are possible because the diameter of the sun is about 400 times that of the moon, but also approximately 400 times farther away, says the Natural History Museum.Īn annular solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and Earth when it is near its farthest point from Earth. The type of solar eclipse is also affected by the moon's distance from Earth and the distance between Earth and the sun.Ī total solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, completely obscuring the face of the sun. The distance at which the new moon approaches a node will determine the type of solar eclipse. When the moon crosses the ecliptic - Earth's orbital plane - it is known as a lunar node. These begin as one type of eclipse and transition to another.Ī solar eclipse is caused by the moon passing between the sun and Earth, casting a shadow over Earth. Hybrid solar eclipse: The rarest solar eclipse is a combination of a total and annular eclipse (sometimes known as an A-T eclipse) and is produced when the moon's shadow moves across Earth.Annular solar eclipse: The moon is centered in front of the sun but doesn't cover the entirety of the surface (as seen in a total solar eclipse).Here the moon appears to take a "bite" out of the sun. Partial solar eclipse: The moon doesn't fully block the sun so only a portion of the sun is obscured.Total solar eclipse: The sun is fully obscured by the moon. ![]() 1/26/2024 0 Comments Cinderella escape r18 download![]() Use them at your own risk!!!

National Drug Screening understands how critical it is to have simplified access to healthcare services. These Quest collection sites are known as patient service centers or PSC’s. Instant or rapid drug testing commonly known as point of collection testing (POCT) is also available at Quest Diagnostics collection facilities throughout the United States. National Drug Screening partners with Quest Diagnostics to offer the highest quality drug testing services in the United States with lab testing of urine, oral fluid and hair. A trained supervisor should make the reasonable suspicion determinations that lead to a drug and alcohol test. Including reasonable suspicion drug testing in your drug-free program will help maintain a drug-free workplace by dissuading and detecting the use of drugs and alcohol. Some of the indications that may warrant a reasonable suspicion drug test include, but are not limited to: smell of alcohol on the breath or odor on the body, confusion or disorientation, unsteady walking or standing, unusual or erratic behavior, and slurred speech. There is also reasonable suspicion drug testing, which can be one of the most challenging aspects of a drug-free workplace program. ![]() Random drug testing allows an employer to use a random selection process to select one or more employees in the workplace to submit to a drug test. Random drug testing ensures that your current employees remain drug-free. Abusing drugs can compromise the stability and integrity of your workplace, so pre-employment drug screening is essential in preventing the hiring of people who use drugs. Pre-employment drug testing allows you to make informed decisions about potential employees. Both non-regulated and federally mandated testing is performed at Quest Diagnostics laboratories. Specimen validity testing is performed at Quest, testing for adulterants is important to catch the cheaters. Specimens tested included urine, oral fluid and hair. In fact, businesses with drug-free workplace programs can qualify for worker’s compensation insurance premium discounts, and other government incentives through your state.ĭrug testing at Quest is lab based and testing detects the metabolites of drugs that are ingested. The cost of a simple drug test is minimal when compared to the risks that hiring a drug user can present to your workplace. They help improve productivity by decreasing accidents, downtime, absenteeism, theft and turnover. Drug screening programs are proven to be highly beneficial to businesses and also promote better health among employees and their families, decreasing the use of medical benefits. There are many reasons for drug testing, such as post-accident, return to duty, reasonable suspicion, random and pre-employment. National Drug Screening works closely with Quest Diagnostics to provide a comprehensive range of instant and onsite drug tests, lab testing (urine, oral fluid and hair) and other programs and services. ![]() |
