9. Salmon

Salmon is packed with vitamin D that is responsible for keeping your brain, heart, bones and colon healthy. It helps reduce anxiety, depression, and prevent colon cancer, bone disease and heart disease. Salmon contains omega-3 fatty acids that help hydrate your skin from the inside out as well as help fight inflammation, acne and wrinkles. Plus, consuming salmon regularly keeps your scalp hydrated and promotes healthy, strong hair.

The upper surface of the animal, has two openings, or Siphons.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascidiacea

The upper surface of the animal, opposite to the part gripping the substratum, has two openings, or siphons. When removed from the water, the animal often violently expels water from these siphons, hence the common name of "sea squirt". The body itself can be divided into up to three regions, although these are not clearly distinct in most species. The pharyngeal region contains the pharynx, while the abdomen contains most of the other bodily organs, and the postabdomen contains the heart and gonads. In many sea squirts, the postabdomen, or even the entire abdomen, are absent, with their respective organs being located more anteriorly.

Anatomy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascidiacea

 Sea squirts are rounded or cylindrical animals ranging from about 0.5 to 10 centimetres (0.20 to 3.94 in) in size. One end of the body is always firmly fixed to rock, coral, or some similar solid surface. The lower surface is pitted or ridged, and in some species has root-like extensions that help the animal grip onto the surface. The body wall is covered by a smooth thick tunic, which is often quite rigid. The tunic consists of a cellulose-like substance called tunicin along with proteins and calcium salts. Unlike the shells of molluscs, the tunic is composed of living tissue, and often has its own blood supply. In some colonial species, the tunics of adjacent individuals are fused into a single structure.

Oral Siphon.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascidiacea

Sea squirts feed by taking in water through the oral siphon. The water enters the mouth and pharynx, flows through mucus-covered gill slits (also called pharyngeal stigmata) into a water chamber called the atrium, then exits through the atrial siphon.

There are 2,300 species of Ascidians.

There are 2,300 species of ascidians and three main types: solitary ascidians, social ascidians that form clumped communities by attaching at their bases, and compound ascidians that consist of many small individuals (each individual is called a zooid) forming colonies up to several meters in diameter.

25 Lenders Said Poised to Fail ECB’s Health-Check.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-10-24/ecb-set-to-fail-25-lenders-in-bank-review-draft-document-shows.html

Twenty-five lenders in the European Central Bank’s euro-area bank health check are poised to fail the regulator’s Comprehensive Assessment, according to a draft communique of the final results seen by Bloomberg News.

One-hundred-and-five banks are shown passing the review, according to the draft statement. Of the lenders that failed, about 10 will still face capital shortfalls they need to plug, according to a person with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be identified because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly. That figure is likely to change as talks continue before the final results are published Oct. 26, said the person.

The two-part review forms one pillar of the ECB’s effort to rekindle confidence in the euro zone after half a decade of financial turmoil. ECB President Mario Draghi has said banks need to fail to prove the losses of the past have been dealt with. After two previous European stress tests didn’t reveal problems at lenders that later failed, the ECB has staked its reputation on getting this exercise right.

“The numbers are consistent with our expectations,” said Alberto Gallo, head of European macro-credit research at Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc in London. “It’s too early to say the exercise is credible. The key will be to see how much stress the strong banks will take, and how many of them will pass by a narrow margin.” He expects 11 banks will need to plug capital gaps after measures already taken this year.

Italy, Ireland

To pass the Asset-Quality Review, which scrutinizes the asset side of balance sheets as of Dec. 31 last year, banks need common equity Tier 1 capital equivalent to at least 8 percent of risk-weighted assets. In the adverse stress test, the pass mark is 5.5 percent.

The euro region’s largest banks will show a 6 billion-euro ($7.6 billion) capital gap in the ECB’s assessment, according to analysts at Citigroup Inc. led by London-based Ronit Ghose. The shortfall would be 15 billion euros when excluding capital banks raised this year, with failures concentrated in Greece, Italy, Spain and Ireland, they wrote.

Deutsche Bank (DBK)

Deutsche Bank AG, Germany’s largest lender, will pass the stress tests, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. The lender’s common equity Tier 1 ratio will be shown to stand at about 8.8 percent under the severe stress scenario and at about 12.6 percent in the baseline scenario, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the results haven’t been made public.
