TUESDAY, April 3 (HealthDay News) -- College-age African-American women clear human papillomavirus (HPV) infection much more slowly than similarly-aged European-American women, and are almost twice as likely to have an abnormal Pap smear, according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research, held from March 31 to April 4 in Chicago.
Amy R. Messersmith, Ph.D., and colleagues from the University of South Carolina in Columbia, assessed HPV infection and persistence in 326 college-age European-American women and 113 college-age African-American women. Cervical cells were collected every six months and screened for HPV.
Although the incidence of new high-risk HPV infection was similar in both groups, the researchers found that, at any visit, African-American women were 1.5 times more likely to test positive for high-risk HPV. African-American women cleared the virus significantly more slowly, with 56 percent remaining infected after 24 months, compared with only 24 percent of European-American women. In addition, African-American women were 1.7 times more likely to have an abnormal Pap smear.
"Although the differences in incidence and mortality rates for cervical cancer between these two groups have been attributed solely to access to care, no study has systematically attempted to identify other factors that may contribute to this disparity," coauthor Kim E. Creek, Ph.D., said in a statement. "We were not sure what to expect, but we suspected that there may be biological factors involved in the immune response to HPV that contribute to the disparity. Our findings support this hypothesis."
One of the authors is on the speakers' bureau for Merck.

Backup of Exchange 2013
Hi all,
I haven't experience with Exchange 2013. The following is the escenario: Media Server with BE 2012 is mounted in Windows 2008 R2. Exchange Server 2013 is mounted in Windows 2012. The backup job works and end successful. When we try to make a restore job and I review the contents of the Storage Information backuped I only see logs files (see attached screenshot).
Question: With this information Can I restore all data for my mail Exchange server?

You will have to restore the entire Information Store as there is no GRT(Granular Recovery Technology) associated to Exchange 2013 with Backup Exec 2012. Backup Exec 2014 which would be released shortly would have that feature. Refer to http://www.symantec.com/redirects/backup_exec/2014beta/

Pressure Cooker
Does anybody cook with a pressure cooker? DH wants to get one and I've been looking into them and it looks like a great healthy fast way to cook. Just wondering what others experiences are with them. If you have one and like it please tell me what kind you have.
Re: Pressure Cooker
The only thing I really use my pressure cooker for is cooking a whole chicken to use the meat in some other dish (that doesn't use the pressure cooker). :)

Pronunciation: /ˌindəˈhis(ə)nt/
Definition of indehiscent in English:
Botany (Of a pod or fruit) not splitting open to release the seeds when ripe.
Example sentences
- It appears that the dehiscent and indehiscent forms do not belong to separate species, rather dehiscence is segregating within populations.
- Despite this distribution, dehiscence does not occur in two sets: when the flower opens usually only one or two stamens are fertile, the others being short and indehiscent; these gradually elongate and open.
- He observed that only pulpy, but indehiscent, fruits with a juicy, sweet flesh produce ethanol when becoming overripe.
- 1
- Example sentences
- Research is also in progress to obtain indehiscence through mutations and also to splice the appropriate Cuphea genes into a conventional crop such as rape.
- Monroella and Petriea exhibit these features and by the development of indehiscence of the pod, the Huttonella subgenus subsequently arose.
- The tapetum degenerates earlier than usual, resulting in high pollen sterility, and anther indehiscence occurs when pollen stainability falls below 20 percent.

German news website Mobiflip appears to have leaked slides of the Sony Experia tablet.
The images depict a device, called the "Xperia Sony Tablet", featuring a Tegra 3 processor, Android 4.0 or later, up to 64GB of built-in storage, 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity, 6000mAh battery, and a 8.8mm aluminum shell that is 42 percent thinner than the Tablet S.
Perhaps most interesting is the new super-thin keyboard that resembles the Touch cover keyboard that Microsoft announced earlier this year with its Surface Tablet. The Sony Experia's keyboard cover seals the entire tablet and doubles as a kickstand.
One slide assigned the keyboard cover a $99.99 retail price tag, while the tablet is $449.99 for the 16 GB model, $549.99 for the 32 GB, and $649.99 for the 64 GB. A release date is notable absent.
A few of the other accessories revealed include another, basic cover for $59.99, a color-varied premium cover for $79.99, cradle for $39.99, docking stand for $99.99, standard stand for $24.99, and a speaker dock for $119.99.

Great River Medical Center Ranked Among Best Hospitals for Patient Satisfaction
August 22, 2001 – Just when the temperature outside has dropped out of the 90s, another important number within the walls of Great River Medical Center is breaking into the 90s. For the first time, the hospitals inpatient satisfaction scores have exceeded the 90th percentile.
Great River Medical Center uses patient-satisfaction surveys provided by Press Ganey Associates, the worlds leading developer of survey tools and methodologies for the health-care industry. The hospitals most-recent quarterly patient-satisfaction report (May 1 to July 31) ranks Great River Medical Center in the 93rd percentile in comparison to 668 hospitals nationwide. This means that 93 percent of all hospitals using Press Ganeys inpatient survey tool scored lower than Great River Medical Center.
Breaking into the 90th percentile so soon after moving into a new facility is a tremendous accomplishment for us, said Mark Richardson, hospital president and CEO. Obviously, having a new facility that was designed with customer service in mind has played a big part in reaching this goal, but the strongest aspects of our patient-satisfaction report are the scores for our nursing staff and the overall attitude of our entire workforce. Our people are making the difference.
The report analyzes the results of 523 returned surveys. Fifty-eight percent of all responses this quarter gave hospital services a rating of Very Good, which is the highest rating on the survey. An inpatient survey is mailed to every patients home one to two weeks after they are discharged.
Great River Medical Centers two previous quarterly reports ranked the hospital in the 85th percentile nationally. This is the sixth quarter in a row in which the hospital has increased or maintained its overall percentile ranking.
Our patient-satisfaction scores, together with the 93rd percentile ranking we received in April from the Joint Commission for the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, clearly show that we are meeting our ultimate goal of being one of the finest hospitals in the country, Richardson said. Its a culmination of many things our new facility, customer-service training for all employees, the continued development and promotion of our core values, aggressive recruitment of qualified staff were just beginning to see the payoff of these efforts, and were looking forwarding to achieving even greater successes.

Safeguard Petition Being Considered
June 27, 2005
-- Home Textiles Today,Washington — The immediate future of curtain imports from China remains unclear. The U.S. Commerce Department committee that places safeguard caps on imports rejected a petition for such restrictions last week — but the coalition of manufacturing associations and the textiles union backing the measure resubmitted a day later.
The problem was "a matter of semantics," according to the National Council of Textiles Organizations, which filed along with the National Textiles Association, and the American Manufacturers Trade Action Coalition as well as the UNITE HERE union.
The original petition provided data the coalition claimed encompassed "the vast majority" of U.S. production. The government requires that the data represent "substantially all" U.S. production, according to Missy Johnson, NCTO spokeswoman.
The Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements (CITA) has a 15-day period in which to review the information. If it takes the full period to consider the petition, CITA would render its decision on or about July 14.
The China Home Textiles Association has protested the safeguard request in an open letter to CITA, the Commerce Department division that since May 20 has invoked safeguard action on combed cotton yarn, men and boys' shirts, knit shirts, blouses, trousers, and underwear produced in China.
Although curtain imports from China rose by almost 33 percent since quota was eliminated on the category in 2002, the average unit price has risen
from $2.85 in 2002 to $3.10 in the first four months of 2005, according the Chinese association's figures.
"The withering of the curtain manufacturing in the U.S. is the consequence of the industrial relocation (by U.S. companies)," the association argued. If the U.S. took safeguard measures toward Chinese curtains, the first to be injured would be American importers, customers and U.S. companies with joint ventures in China, it claimed.
The association also said China has approximately 1 million workers in the curtain manufacturing industry, and expressed concern for the large-scale unemployment that would result from safeguard restrictions on the category.
Once CITA decides to pursue safeguards on a category, it formally requests negotiations with Chinese trade authorities on the matter. At the same time, imports are immediately capped at 7.5 percent of imports recorded during the first 12 months of the prior 14-month period.
If American and Chinese trade representatives fail to reach an agreement within 90 days, the United States is allowed under World Trade Organization rules to hold imports at safeguard levels. The safeguard caps must be re-instated annually. Under WTO conventions, all safeguard actions will be wiped out in 2008.

Two Nuns Walk Into A Church
Almost 7, in the village church of Kernascléden, in the heart of Brittany, which is the heart of Catholicism in France. The sign on the door says Vespers are at 7, just like they are every night, even tonight, July 14, when most people in France are singing the Marseillaise instead of the Gloria. I always like Vespers, but I wonder what in the name of the Abbé Sieyès they could possibly sound like in a remote place like this? A harried five-parish pastor coaxing along a few reedy voices? Not exactly. Two youngish nuns in tan habits enter... Read more »
How Things That Were Never Going to Change Have Sometimes Changed Anyway
In March at BYU I gave a talk, or more accurately for a guy who can barely use Power-Point, a multi-media extravaganza, involving at least 10 non-fancy slides with absolutely nothing moving around on them. The topic was the title above. For those who want to skip the movie and just read the book, I thought I'd post here a (believe it or not) condensed version of that talk, focusing on the main points, without all the low-tech effects. Of course, the post won't be nearly as exciting, but some of the clips used at the live talk didn't make it to the youtube... Read more »

A Mission Dream For the Last Day of Autumn
Five-Sense Gray. 9:15 in the morning in the very late autumn in Belgium. It's barely and unenthusiastically light because the sun has just come grudgingly up (if you call ten feet above the horizon up), and because the heavens are so blanketed with clouds that whatever slivers of rays manage to get through are absorbed right away into the gray. Belgian towns aren't colorful in any sort of autumn or winter light, but in this particular flannel-gray sort they might as well just go ahead and say it: we are thoroughgoingly monochrome.

If you're a teacher of any sort, you know how disruptive a couple of talkative or rude students can be, especially when you're trying to get a discussion going.

I thought I had a vague memory of watching her, when I was 8 or 9 (mid-1960s), play some odd form of basketball. Was I just imagining it? She laughed and proceeded to explain the mysteries of girls' rules. This meant first that there were six... Read more »
How Sacred is Conscience?
Any guest or new blogger obviously runs the risk of repeating topics that have been worn into the ground.

The Vestil HCH is a manually operated hand chain hoist with a hook mount, stamped steel housing for resistance to wear, and steel components for strength, and low headroom for work in tight spaces. This hoist has a grade 80 chain tempered to ISO 3077, galvanized hand chain, and hardened two-stage gears for strength. The mount hook and load hook on this hoist are made of forged steel for strength. The Vestil HCH hand chain hoist has been load tested by the manufacturer to 150% of rated capacity, and is produced to comply with American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) B30.16 standards.
Hoists are devices that use relatively small amounts of force to lift, lower, and pull heavy loads. Manual hoists transfer a small, hand-exerted force either across a series of gears to multiply the force into one large enough to lift the designated load, or over a pulley, drum, or sheave to leverage the force into one strong enough to lift the load. This makes it possible for an operator to manage heavy loads. The manual force is usually applied using a hand chain, lever, or lever ratchet, lifting the load by a hook attached to a chain, rope, or wire. Hand chain and lever hoists generally use mechanical disk brakes called Weston-style brakes that hold the load in place while the operator's hands are released to make the next pull, secure the load once it has been lifted, and control the descent of the load as it is lowered. Ratchet puller hoists generally use ratchets instead of mechanical brakes to secure and control the load. Manual hoists are commonly attached to or suspended from structures by hook or trolley mounts, and are used in the transportation, construction, manufacturing, mining, and material handling industries, among others.
Capacity is the maximum rated load a hoist can handle. While manufacturers may indicate they have tested a hoist beyond its limits, operators should never attempt to lift a load heavier than the maximum rated load. Pull force describes the amount of force that needs to be applied to lift a load. If a 1/2 ton manual hoist specifies a pull force of 40 lbs., for example, the operator needs to be able to pull a 40 lb. weight in order to lift the maximum 1/2 ton (500 lb.) load. Headroom is the distance from the bottom of the load hook to the top of the hoist. This is the minimum amount of vertical space needed for the hoist to hang freely and operate correctly. Lift is the maximum vertical distance the load hook can move a load.
Vestil manufactures materials handling equipment, including hoists and trolleys, jib and gantry cranes, loading dock equipment, and storage solutions. The company, founded in 1968, is headquartered in Angola, IN.

text: Brother Asaiah, in old fashioned language, loved us. Whether our belief system was hippie or John Bircher, tea party or progressive, he listened patiently, attentively, thoughtfully and kindly to what we had to say. He expressed his compassionate concern while attending almost every town gathering and by writing hundreds of love letters to us through the Letters to the Editor. He called me home to my own soul. No matter how beat-down or discouraged I was, my hungry soul soared when I saw his letter to the editor. Somebody still believed enough in the power of love to say so. Somebody else knows that, in the grand scale, love matters. We, who were here before Brother left his body in 2000, remember. Our mayor remembers and has again declared Valentine's Day to be Brother Asaiah Day. Rightly so, for Brother Asaiah brought Saint Valentine right into our living rooms in his own love-letter way. Not every community has someone who loves them so completely that they see themselves as community. That was our gift from Brother Asaiah. Our thank-you is to pass it on, each of us in our own unique way. If you are new to Homer and would like to know more about this slice of Homer history, read "Brother Asaiah," available in the library and bookstores, or now available for $2.99 through Kindle, which you can share with anyone else for no charge. Bro would have wanted his search for values to be shared with all who live in our beloved "Cosmic Hamlet by the Sea." Martha Ellen Anderson

The Capitals expect Theodore to be away only for one day.
Washington also recalled center Jay Beagle from Hershey.

It all adds up
A leading public health doctor is calling for calorie counts to be mandatory on all alcoholic drinks as a 'matter of urgency'. Dr Hilary Jones tells us exactly why we should be thinking more about those 'invisible' calories we may not realise we're adding to our diet when we have a tipple.
It's very easy to rebel against this condition.
More young people are dying from diabetes in the UK than the rest of Europe experts are warning this morning.
We speak to Dr Hilary Jones who said the transition between childhood and adolescence for people with type one diabetes is difficult.
After the death of Eloise Parry, from diet pills that she had bought online, a OnePoll poll for Good Morning Britain has shown that more than 20 percent of people have had an adverse reaction to drugs that they had bought online. One in 10 had bought diet pills online, and more than half of those surveyed would rather get certain treatments online than go to their GP.
Dr Hilary investigates the dangerous substances that can be easily bought at the click of a button.
A mother is warning of the dangers of buying slimming pills on the internet after the death of her 21-year-old daughter. Eloise Parry, known as Ella, admitted herself to hospital after taking eight tablets of Dinitrophenol (DNP), a banned substance
It's horrible, it's absolutely horrible.
Nearly 130,000 people in the UK live with Parkinson's Disease, and a report out today shows their life is often made more difficult because of the way they're perceived - with more than half of sufferers saying they've experienced hostility or rudeness.
We speak to Andi Robertson who's been diagnosed with the disease. He's had Parkinson's since 2001 and underwent radical brain surgery last year to try and halt its progress. We followed his journey as he prepared to have the treatment.
Scientists think they'll be able to work out a woman's risk of developing breast cancer by analysing their DNA.
Dr Hilary joins us on the sofa to discuss.
He's had three open heart surgeries and other procedures and he'll have more to come
We meet 9-year-old Calum Morris - who's faced a lifetime of lifesaving heart operations since he was just two weeks old due to having a rare condition called truncus arteriosus.
But his appearance on GMB comes with positive news as it's revealed the child heart surgery death rate has been halved over the past decade.
Mum Nicola says: "If Calum had been born ten years earlier they wouldn't have been able to treat this heart condition. It's quite complex and very rare."
"The doctors and surgeons have been outstanding, " added dad John.
Cancer survival rates in the UK are at or behind a level that many other European countries had already achieved by the late 1990s, according to new analysis released today by Macmillan Cancer Support.
The charity said that the research showed people in the UK are "dying needlessly", and said it is "shameful" that survival rates for four of the most common cancers were better in many countries over a decade ago than they are in the UK today.
The Concord-2 study looked at breast, lung, colon and stomach cancer survival rates across 67 countries in 1995-99 compared to in 2005-09.

Assumption College Named to The Princeton Review's 2014 'Best in the Northeast' List
Assumption College is one of the best colleges in the Northeast, according to nationally recognized education services company, The Princeton Review. It is one of 226 institutions The Princeton Review recommends in its "Best in the Northeast" section of its website feature, "2014 Best Colleges: Region by Region." The feature, which was posted August 5, 2013, includes colleges in the 11-state Northeast region that stand out as academically excellent and that have strong regional reputations. Collectively, the 643 colleges named "regional best(s)" constitute about 25 percent of the nation's 2,500 four-year colleges.
"We are pleased to recommend Assumption College to students as one of the best schools to earn their undergraduate degree," said Robert Franek, Princeton Review's senior vice president and publisher. "We chose Assumption mainly for its excellent academic programs."
Assumption College President Francesco Cesareo noted that the College is proud to once again be named among the best in the Northeast. "Assumption is committed to academic excellence and values all dimensions of the college experience – intellectual, social, community service, and spiritual," he said. "Through their experience at Assumption, our students grow as individuals and reflect the values that are central to our mission as a Catholic institution."
Assumption's selection was based on several factors including analysis of institutional data as well as an 80-question student survey. Assumption students rated the College on everything from the accessibility of their professors to the quality of campus food.

Issuance in the cat bond market fell greatly last year. Will the ILS market bounce back this year?
Read more: cat bonds ils reinsurance swiss re lehman brothers issuance
The insurance-linked securities (ILS) market all but ground to a halt in the latter part of 2008. After years of growth, capped by 2007's $13.7bn record issuance, the market suffered a big setback in 2008 as figures dropped to $3bn.
With the global economy in turmoil it remains to be seen whether the ILS market will bounce back and show that last year was merely a blip or whether the market is dying out.
Cat bonds make up a large chunk of the ILS market and saw a 62% drop in issuance and a 52% drop in transaction count last year compared with 2007, when figures hit a record $7.1bn. Cat bond issuance fell to $2.7bn in 2008.
Running into trouble
With an excess of capacity in the traditional reinsurance market during the first three quarters of the year caused by two quiet catastrophe years, issuance in...

Wrinkles may be a sign of wisdom, but we say you should show off your smarts in a different way—by investing in an effective anti-aging cleanser. PETER THOMAS ROTH's formula includes mild exfoliating acids that help clarify skin, detox pores, and reduce fine lines. You'll have a squeaky clean complexion that looks fresh and youthful.
I was hoping the product would have a refreshing smell like the mega-rich shampoo and conditioner but it has barely any smell - I guess that's better than a bad smell.
So far I have been using the product a few days and I feel it really cleans my skin. I had a few blemishes and I thought they healed and faded faster.
After the first use I could tell that my skin was not as oily. Which I don't have an issue with in the winter but in the summer it can get pretty bad. I see myself using it every day then. I curious to see what long-term impact the product will have.
My face feels squeaky clean and fresh after each use. The orange smell not only helps me wake me up in the morning, but it leaves a slight cooling effect on my skin too. The cleanser lasts a lengthy period of time and compared to other cleansers the price is a bargain for the size. Ideal for an older woman with fairly low maintenance skin.
Only criticism - I would have preferred the anti-cleansing gel with the beads inside.

For three quarters Tuesday night, the Rock Bridge and Jefferson City girls played to a draw. Unfortunately for the Bruins, basketball games have four quarters. And it was the second quarter one that did them in.
Behind 18 points from senior Brianna Culberson, the Jays defeated the Bruins 55-43. Perhaps the most telling statistic, though, was 14-4 — that was the scoring margin between the two teams in the second quarter, a quarter that saw Rock Bridge fall from a two-point lead into an eight-point deficit.
Rock Bridge coach Jill Nagel blamed her team's defense for the swing.
"I don't think we came out with the same defensive intensity that we had in the first quarter," Nagel said. "That kind of put ourselves in a hole."
In that second quarter, Jefferson City scored the first six points. Culberson, Jefferson City's all-time leading scorer, had eight points, including a 3-pointer and a 3-point play. On the offensive end, Rock Bridge struggled after a change in the Jays' defensive strategy.
After playing most of the first quarter in a man-to-man defense, the Jays switched to zone.
"We were just holding the ball too much," Bruins sophomore guard Andrea Seabaugh said. "We didn't move the ball quick enough."
Nagel agreed.
"We've just got to do a better job with our offensive execution," Nagel said. "We've just got to sharpen up our picks and we'll get to work on that in practice."
After the second quarter, the Bruins were forced to play more aggressively. However, by the fourth quarter, Jefferson City had pulled away and built a 15-point lead (39-24).

Conflicts of interest in sponsored research arise in situations where an investigator with responsibilities for the design, conduct or reporting of research has personal financial interests which may compromise, or give the appearance of compromising his or her judgment in these activities. Either a real or apparent conflict of interest may result in a breach of public trust and confidence in research outcomes.
It should be noted that having a conflict of interest or potential conflict is not wrong. Conflicts frequently arise with technology transfer and translational research. It is to the benefit of the public, researchers, and sponsors of research that potential conflicts are identified early and appropriately managed.

Small fire damages railcar used by circus
Nobody hurt in blaze, which officials believe started by power cord
Water trickled into the Tancahua Street curb Saturday morning, hours after firefighters doused a burning circus railcar overnight near Whataburger Field.
Fire crews found smoke billowing at 1:25 a.m. from one of several dozen residential railcars inside a fenced yard near Hughes and Tancahua streets. No one was injured in the fire.
Firefighters hosed a blazing mattress through the window of one of 14 cabins in the railcar after not being able to open its metal door, according to reports.
"Our guys dragged a ladder to the window because occupants of other railcars had damaged the lock by beating the door with a sledge hammer," said responding Battalion Chief David Saenz. "They were trying to do what they thought was right to make sure no one was inside."
Fire investigators suspect an extension cord attached to a video game console overheated and shorted out, said Assistant Chief Andy Cardiel, fire marshal.
The occupant, a transportation crew employee, was not in the room at the time of the fire, said Jonathan Griggs, general manager of the about 250 employee residence units for the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
All of the residence rooms have smoke alarms and were inspected last month, Griggs said. The car still is usable because the rooms are separated by metal firewalls, officials said. Circus maintenance crews worked Saturday to clean the cabin.
"We put our people in a hotel overnight to get some sleep," Griggs said. "So the show goes on."

The quince (/ˈkwɪns/; Cydonia oblonga) is the sole member of the genus Cydonia in the family Rosaceae (which also contains apples and pears, among other fruits). It is a small deciduous tree that bears a pome fruit, similar in appearance to a pear, and bright golden-yellow when mature. Throughout history the cooked fruit has been used as food, but the tree is also grown for its attractive pale pink blossom and other ornamental qualities.
The tree grows 5 to 8 metres (16 and a half feet to 26 feet) high and 4 to 6 metres (13 feet to 19 and a half feet) wide. The fruit is 7 to 12 centimetres (3 to 5 inches) long and 6 to 9 centimetres (2 to 3 and a half inches) across.
It is native to rocky slopes and woodland margins in South-west Asia, Turkey and Iran[2] although it can be grown successfully at latitudes as far north as Scotland. It should not be confused with its relatives, the Chinese Quince, Pseudocydonia sinensis, or the Flowering Quinces of genus Chaenomeles.
The immature fruit is green with dense grey-white pubescence, most of which rubs off before maturity in late autumn when the fruit changes colour to yellow with hard, strongly perfumed flesh. The leaves are alternately arranged, simple, 6–11 cm (2–4 in) long, with an entire margin and densely pubescent with fine white hairs. The flowers, produced in spring after the leaves, are white or pink, 5 cm (2 in) across, with five petals.
Quince is used as a food plant by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including brown-tail, Bucculatrix bechsteinella, Bucculatrix pomifoliella, Coleophora cerasivorella, Coleophora malivorella, green pug and winter moth.
Four other species previously included in the genus Cydonia are now treated in separate genera. These are Pseudocydonia sinensis and the three flowering quinces of eastern Asia in the genus Chaenomeles. Another unrelated fruit, the bael, is sometimes called the "Bengal quince".
The fruit was known to the Akkadians, who called it supurgillu; Arabic سفرجل al safarjal "quinces" (collective plural).[3] The modern name originated in the 14th century as a plural of quoyn, via Old French cooin from Latin cotoneum malum / cydonium malum, ultimately from Greek κυδώνιον μῆλον, kydonion melon "Kydonian apple". The quince tree is native to Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Iran, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Pakistan, Kashmir, Afghanistan and was introduced to Poland, Syria, Lebanon, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Turkey, Serbia, Republic of Macedonia, Albania, Cyprus, Greece, Romania, Hungary, Ukraine, Moldova, and Bulgaria.[citation needed]
Cultivation of quince may have preceded apple culture, and many references translated to "apple", such as the fruit in Song of Songs, may have been a quince. Among the ancient Greeks, the quince was a ritual offering at weddings, for it had come from the Levant with Aphrodite and remained sacred to her. Plutarch reported that a Greek bride would nibble a quince to perfume her kiss before entering the bridal chamber, "in order that the first greeting may not be disagreeable nor unpleasant" (Roman Questions 3.65). It was with a quince that Paris awarded Aphrodite. It was for a golden quince that Atalanta paused in her race. The Romans also used quinces; the Roman cookbook of Apicius gives recipes for stewing quince with honey, and even combining them, unexpectedly, with leeks. Pliny the Elder mentioned the one variety, Mulvian quince, that could be eaten raw. Columella mentioned three, one of which, the "golden apple" that may have been the paradisal fruit in the Garden of the Hesperides, has donated its name in Italian to the tomato, pomodoro.[citation needed]
Quince is resistant to frost and requires a cold period below 7 °C to flower properly (yarovization). The tree is self-fertile; however, its yield can benefit from cross-fertilization. The fruit can be left on the tree to ripen further, which softens the fruit to the point where it can be eaten raw in warmer climates, but should be picked before the first frosts.
In Europe, quinces are commonly grown in central and southern areas where the summers are sufficiently hot for the fruit to fully ripen. They are not grown in large amounts; typically one or two quince trees are grown in a mixed orchard with several apples and other fruit trees: so were they grown in the 18th-century New England colonies, where there was always a quince at the lower corner of the vegetable garden, Ann Leighton notes in records of Portsmouth, New Hampshire and Newburyport, Massachusetts.[4] Charlemagne directed that quinces be planted in well-stocked orchards. Quinces in England are first recorded in about 1275, when Edward I had some planted at the Tower of London.[5] They are still grown successfully as far north as Scotland. Chaenomeles japonica (Japanese quince) is sometimes grown as a substitute for quince, though its fruit is considered to have inferior flavour.
Quince was also introduced to the New World, Australia and New Zealand, where in some locations it has grown wild. It has become rare in North America due to its susceptibility to fireblight disease caused by the bacterium Erwinia amylovora. They are still widely grown in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. Almost all of the quinces in North American specialty markets come from Argentina.
Used as a rootstock for grafted plants, quince has the property of dwarfing the growth of pears, of forcing them to produce more precociously, and relatively more fruit-bearing branches, instead of vegetative growth, and of accelerating the maturity of the fruit.
The cultivar 'Vranja' Nenadovic has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[7]

In food[edit]
Most varieties of quince are too hard, astringent and sour to eat raw unless "bletted" (softened by frost and subsequent decay).[9] High in pectin, they are used to make jam, jelly and quince pudding, or they may be peeled, then roasted, baked or stewed; pectin levels diminish as the fruit ripens.[10] The flesh of the fruit turns red after a long cooking time. The very strong perfume means they can be added in small quantities to apple pies and jam to enhance the flavour. Adding a diced quince to apple sauce will enhance the taste of the apple sauce with the chunks of relatively firm, tart quince. The term "marmalade", originally meaning a quince jam, derives from "marmelo," the Portuguese word for this fruit.[11][12]
The fruit, like so many others, can be used to make a type of wine. Because of its often high acidity, which is mainly due to its malic acid content, these wines are usually sweet dessert wines that are high in alcohol.[clarification needed][citation needed] In the Balkans and elsewhere, quince brandy and quince liqueur are made. In Carolina in 1709, John Lawson allowed that he was "not a fair judge of the different sorts of Quinces, which they call Brunswick, Portugal and Barbary", but he noted "of this fruit they make a wine or liquor which they call Quince-Drink, and which I approve of beyond any that their country affords, though a great deal of cider and perry is there made, The Quince-Drink most commonly purges."[13]
Varieties of quince, such as 'Kuganskaya', have been developed that do not require cooking and are eaten raw.[14]
In Iran, quince, called beh (به), is used raw or in stews and some regional soups. It is also made into jam or preserve. The extra syrup in the jam-making process is saved and made into a refreshing Summer drink by adding cold water and a few drops of lime to it. It can also be found pickled.
In Italy it is used as the main ingredient of some local variants of a traditional food called mostarda di frutta, in which quince fruit jam is mixed with candied fruit, spices and flavorings to produce a spread that is used on boiled meat, mixed with cheese, etc. Examples are "mostarda vicentina" or "mostarda di Vicenza" and "mostarda veneta." Quinces are also used in Parma to produce a typical liqueur called sburlone, the word coming from the local dialect and meaning the high pressure needed to squeeze those hard fruits to obtain their juice.
In Albania, Kosovo, and Bulgaria quince are eaten raw during the winter.
In Lebanon and Syria, it is called sfarjel and also used to make jam — Mrabba sfarjal. In Syria, quince is cooked in pomegranate paste (dibs rouman) with shank meat and kibbeh (a Middle Eastern meat pie with burghul and mince meat) and is called kibbeh safarjalieh. In Pakistan, quinces are stewed with sugar until they turn bright red. The resulting stewed quince, called muraba is then preserved in jars and eaten like jam. In Morocco, when the fruit is available, it is a popular ingredient in a seasonal lamb tajine and is cooked together with the meat and flavoured with cinnamon and other herbs and spices.
In Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Spain, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela the membrillo, as the quince is called in Spanish, is cooked into a reddish, jelly-like block or firm, reddish paste known as dulce de membrillo. It is then eaten in sandwiches and with cheese, traditionally manchego cheese, or accompanying fresh curds. In Portugal, a similar sweet is called marmelada, hence marmalade in English. It is also produced and consumed in Hungary, where it is called birsalmasajt, "quince cheese". The sweet and floral notes of carne de membrillo (quince meat) contrast nicely with the tanginess of the cheese.[15] Boiled quince is also popular in desserts such as the murta con membrillo that combines Ugni molinae with quince. Similar dishes exist in Dalmatia and other parts of Balkan.
In the Alsace region of France and the Valais region of Switzerland, liqueur de coing made from quince is used as a digestif.
In Morocco green quince is cooked in a tajine with beef or lamb, sweetened slightly with sugar and flavored with cinnamon.
Quince can also be used as a tea additive to mainly green tea, giving it a rather sweetish taste.
In Kashmir quince is cooked with lamb and served in weddings to guests.
In Taiwan yellow quinces are often confused with pomelos.
In Tajikistan, quince is used in cooking oshi palov. Quince jam is known as мураббои биҳигӣ (murabboi bihigi) and also made in many parts of the country.

The phytochemistry of quince is under study for several possible medical uses.[16]
In subcontinental Indo-Pakistan, quince seeds are known as Bihi Dana. They are used by herbalists for mucus, rashes and ulcerations.[citation needed] A gel prepared from the seeds soaked in water is used for throat and vocal cord inflammation, as well as for skin rashes and allergies.[citation needed]
In Malta, a jam is made from the fruit (ġamm tal-isfarġel). According to local tradition, a teaspoon of the jam dissolved in a cup of boiling water relieves intestinal discomfort.[citation needed]
In Iran and parts of Afghanistan, the quince seeds are collected and boiled and then ingested to combat pneumonia.[citation needed]
Cultural associations[edit]
- In Turkey, the expression ayvayı yemek (literally "to eat the quince") is used as a derogatory term indicating any unpleasant situation or a malevolent incident to avoid. This usage is likened to the rather bitter aftertaste of a quince fruit inside the mouth.
- When a baby is born in the Balkans, a quince tree is planted as a symbol of fertility, love and life.
- Ancient Greek poets (Ibycus, Aristophanes, e.g.) used quinces (kydonia) as a mildly ribald term for teenage breasts.
- Although the book of Genesis does not name the specific type of the fruit that Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden of Eden, some ancient texts suggest Eve's fruit of temptation might have been a quince.[17]
- In Plutarch's Lives, Solon is said to have decreed that "bride and bridegroom shall be shut into a chamber, and eat a quince together."[18]
- In the famous children's poem, "The Owl and the Pussycat" by Edward Lear (1871), "they dined on mince and slices of quince ..."
The seeds contain nitriles, which are common in seeds of the rose family. In the stomach, enzymes or stomach acid or both cause some of the nitriles to be hydrolyzed and produce hydrogen cyanide, which is a volatile gas. The seeds are only likely to be toxic if a large quantity is eaten.[19]

The Neighborhood
The history of the neighbourhood: In Rome's Regal period (753-509 BC), the area across the Tiber belonged to the hostile Rome conquered it to gain control of and access to the river from both banks, but was not interested in building on that side of the river. In fact, the only connection between Trastevere and the rest of the city was a small wooden bridge called the Pons By the time of the Republic c. 509 BC, the number of sailors and fishermen making a living from the river had increased, and many had taken up residence in Trastevere. The area began to be considered part of the city under Augustus, who divided Rome into 14. Thanks to its partial isolation (it was "beyond the Tiber") and to the fact that its population had been multicultural since the ancient Roman period, the inhabitants of Trastevere, called Trasteverini, developed a culture of their common people of famous tenacity, pride and authenticity.
Modern Days: Today Trastevere still maintains its character through the winding streets covered with sanpietrini (the typical pavement of Rome) overlooked medieval houses. The night is full of people, both Italian and foreign, thanks to the wealth of restaurants and pubs for every price range. It is one of the most lively, characteristic and self-sufficient of the city. Offers typical Roman restaurants and pizzerias as well, markets as Portaportese, the largest and oldest flee market in Rome, workshops of every kind and elegant shops. Another trait that characterizes the area are the monuments to Gioachino Belli and Trilussa, emblems Trastevere and The Tiber Island that is the only urban island of the Tiber in Rome city center.

It was wonderful - a perfect host, perfect location, and a perfect room.
We had a great stay i Rome at Sariel Suite! The room was clean and nice. The apartment aswell. The location was perfect for us, between Trastevere and Testaccio. Great host!
Everything was great. We enjoyed our stay in Rome!
I stayed with my boyfriend and we had a wonderful time. Alexsandro was very helpful and accommodating to our late evening arrival. The room was clean and cosy, and the bed was comfortable. All shared spaces were kept immaculate. The location by the tram line made it very easy to get to the Trastevere area and Rome's historical centre. There is unfortunately some ambulance noises in the evening -- because the suite faces a busier street -- but overall excellent value and would recommend it.
Endroit super mignon et proche du centre. Accueil très sympathique :)
I stayed with my fiancée and we had a great time. The room was very nice, tidy and cosy. The shared kitchen and bathroom were kept immaculate at all times. The location just south of Trastevere and on the tram line makes getting places a relative breeze for Rome. The wifi works! Alexsandro is very helpful. And it's great value. I would recommend it.
A clean and cosy room in a well located neighborhood, friendly and helpful staff - recommended!

Hello there! We had a pleasure of having Sean and his lovely family as our wintery Air B n B guests straight from Autralila into the middle of snowy Helsinki in December. They set the standard for the future guests very high. They kept in touch prior to their arrival telling a lot about their family to make us feel confident. They kept us informed about their estimated arrival time, asked exactly the right questions in order for us to feel that the flat will be taken good care of and will be in safe hands. After they had left the flat was exactly in the same excellent clean condition as it was upon their arrival. They were very seasoned and independent travellers. I can warmly recommend Sean as a guest.
Sean and his amazing family use my apartment in a excellent way. They left the apt in a excellent conditions, very clear!! I m so sorry for not be there personally, but maybe next time we can bring a italian coffe toghter! The dialog from the first time was pleasure and fast...and of course easy. Ciao Sean...see you soon!!
Sean & Tonya and their cute daughter Shania were guests just perfect. Everything went very well. The communication was just perfect, both before and during their stay. They were extremely punctual for their arrival. It 'been a pleasure to house them and they had a care and attention to the apartment, leaving it very clean. it would be nice to always have as well as their guests.
Sean, Tonya and amazing Shania were great guests. The communication about their arrival was brilliant. They were polite, quiet, very respectful, tidy. Above all, they were very friendly, interesting and pleasant: hope you can have the chance to share time with them. The best of airbnb is meeting people like this family: Tonja is so passionate about teaching, you can feel it , Shania is a fantastic smiling girl with a pink active iPad, you will love her, and Sean is so proud about his women... I really enjoyed hosting them, and already look forward to their next at home ;-)
Very nice guests! It's a pleasure to host them and I recommend them to the Airbnb community.

Country of Origin: Germany
Height: 7–12 inches [est.]
Weight: 3–7 pounds
Coat: Double coat with long, straight, harsh, glistening outercoat and soft, fluffy, thick undercoat; neck ruff
Colors: All colors, patterns, variations
Other Names: Dwarf Spitz; Toy German Spitz; Zwergspitz
Registries (With Group): AKC (Toy); UKC (Companion)
This breed received its name from the German province from which it hailed: Pomerania. A descendant of the European herding spitz dogs, early specimens of the Pomeranian weighed up to 30 pounds and were less profusely coated than the dogs of today. It was Queen Victoria's love of the breed that steered it in the direction of a toy dog. She obtained one in the late 1800s and was soon breeding them at her kennels. The dogs she exhibited were typically in the 12- to 18-pound range, and the smaller size became more popular, as did a more profuse coat.
By the time the Pomeranian made his way to North America, his small size and abundant coat were trademarks of the breed. A foxy ball of fluff, he is not only a beloved companion and eye-catching show dog, but he is also a talented performer of tricks and excels in agility and obedience.
The spunky Pomeranian is a typical spitz breed despite his small size. He is alert, active, intelligent, wary, and full of himself. He wants to be not just part of the family but part of all activities. He isn't clingy like some toy breeds, but his need to be included can develop into a kind of bossiness or spoiled nature. This is easily tempered with obedience training.
Exercise: The active Pomeranian thrives on regular exercise. He loves to get out and see the world and should be taken on several walks daily. He enjoys being the center of attention and will happily accompany his family on errands and other outings.
Grooming: The Pom's abundant coat needs regular attention to keep it looking its best. He is a constant shedder with a cottony undercoat, so brushing several times a week is recommended.
Life Span: The average life span of the Pomeranian is 13 to 15 years.
Training: The Pomeranian is a fun dog to train because he is an eager learner. Working in a positive, motivational manner, he will soon master basic obedience and will be delighted to learn more advanced things like agility.
Find a Nylabone chew, treat, or toy for your Pomeranian or small dog!
