Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) Is is possible to use the ROTC scholarship to pay for undergraduate and then receive a HPSP scholarship or enroll at USUHS. Another option is to use ROTC to pay for undergraduate and then pay medical school costs out of pocket. The risks of ROTC are that an educational delay is required for medical school and that if you don't get into medical school on your first attempt you will be on active duty. The other possible drawback for funding college and medical school through ROTC, HPSP and USUHS is consecutive payback.Topic: RecruitingPay and BenefitsTraining Pipeline Read more about Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC)Log in or register to post comments

College students studying foreign languages should take heed of a study recently published by researchers at Harvard Medical School and the University of York, which found that newly acquired words are better integrated in a person's memory after sleep.
University of Manchester research associate Jakke Tamminen—who spent three months at Harvard last year—and his team studied how brain activity during sleep affects integrating new memories, drawing on previous research about how sleep strengthens memory in general.
The researchers taught volunteers new, made-up words that sounded similar to existing words, such as "cathedruke."
The volunteers were tested on the words, slept overnight in the lab while researchers measured their brain activity, and then were tested again in the morning. The second test showed that volunteers could recognize more words and at a greater speed after sleep.
Members of the control group, who were tested in the morning and the evening after completing a normal day, were not able to recognize the words more quickly than they had in the morning.
"When you're just learning a new word, it's not yet in your brain in a way that it is after sleep," said Robert A. Stickgold '66, a co-author of the study and an associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.
The researchers found that people who experienced the greatest number of sleep spindles exhibited the most significant changes in integration. Sleep spindles are intense bursts of brain activity that reflect how information transfers from deep within the brain in the hippocampus, to the neocortex at the surface.
While the hippocampus stores new memories separately from old ones, the neocortex connects these memories.
Recognition of familiar words was slowed in both groups, which indicates how the new words had been integrated in the volunteers' "mental dictionary," Tamminen said. The spindle activity showed how integration worked overnight, but not how recognition speed slowed over time. Tamminen said he is considering other experiments to measure the degree to which new memories are integrated with existing ones.
The study expanded on several previous studies led by M. Gareth Gaskell, a professor in the University of York's Department of Psychology. Gaskell was originally interested in how new words become a part of the recognition system.
"We had all these bits and pieces that suggested an important part of learning language was involved in sleep and transfer in systems, so we wanted to look at brain processes during sleep," Gaskell said.
Tamminen is currently expanding upon the study by having both volunteer groups at the lab for 90 minutes to better monitor their activities.
Fei Xu, a professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, said she saw this as an innovative study and suggested further research on the topic.
"Testing school-aged children might be interesting to extend this study to children who are learning new words and see how sleep affects their memory," Xu said.
The study was published in the Journal of Neuroscience.

- Registered users only
This clinical report describes two horses with bilateral maxillary fractures following dental treatment. The fractures occurred during dental treatment by a veterinarian, and both had rostral, transverse, and complete bilateral maxillary fractures with instability and minimal displacement. The fractures were repaired using bilateral intraoral wiring with the patients under general anesthesia. The postoperative period was without complications and the fractures healed as expected. Maxillary fractures during or after routine dental treatment are rare, but can occur, especially in older horses. Appropriate sedation and, if necessary, regional nerve blocks might reduce the risk of iatrogenic fractures of the maxilla. General anesthesia must be considered for tooth extraction in horses that are difficult to restrain.

Be Glad They're Extinct: 3 Bizarre Dinosaurs You Never Learned About
By Elijah on August 06, 2014 - 2:00 am | Permalink8th grade science might not
have been so incredibly boring if they had taught you about these
dinosaurs. In the grand scheme of things, it wasn't too long ago that
absolute monsters were roaming the earth—read on to take a look at
some of the most bizarre beasts that used to be around before a big
meteor impact kicked their asses.
The Stygimoloch
Even the name Stygimoloch is scary. It sounds like the name of a villain from a b-rated sword and sorcery flick from the 80's, trying to capitalize on Conan's success (which is a story for another time, did you know that there were about 50 of those? They were all awful). The deep voiced movie trailer narrator might have said something like, "In a world where an evil wizard named Stygimoloch is sacrificing virgins to open a portal to the underworld, one man with a destiny can save the land..."
The real Stygimoloch was much, much scarier than the idea of paying for tickets to see a movie that bad though. The name means "horned demon from the river of hell." Well, judging by the skull in the image you see above, that's probably pretty accurate. It had the largest and boniest skull of any other dinosaur in its genus—and it would have eaten you in about two bites.
Reptile Bats on Steroids
Depicted in the image above is a recreation of what Jeholopterus probably looked like—which was basically a large reptilian bat-like creature. Now, you might not think that it's incredibly terrifying as far as dinosaurs go, with the likes of a T-Rex and all for competition, and you'd be right. If it were alone. Imagine 50 of these suckers hunting in a pack, and every single one of them is looking for an easy lunch.
Alligator + Dinosaur = Terrifying
Meet the creature known as Suchomimus. This dinosaur was basically a combination of the raptors that wanted to eat everyone's faces in Jurassic Park, but with the mouth and jaw of a mother-flipping crocodile. And there's actually some truth to that—suchomimus and the crocodile share a common ancestor. Researchers are pretty sure that it used it's long snout to catch fish, much like its predecessors did, but as we all known crocs will take a nice, healthy bite out of a human if they're given the chance. This is basically a crocodile that could chase after you on dry land (and have a very good chance of catching you). Thanks, meteor impact!

A New Era of Tax Enforcement: From 'Big Stick' to Responsive RegulationSagit LevinerOno Academic College Faculties of Law & Business Administration February 1, 2009 University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform, Vol. 42, pp. 381-429, 2009 Abstract: This Article explores the economics of crime and compliance as the dominant approach to U.S. tax enforcement of the past three and a half decades. It evaluates the key advantages and disadvantages of the economic model as well as its application to tax. The Article then addresses the multiplicity of taxpayer behavior and the need and prospect of balancing the economically conceived methods of detection and punishment against other, more cooperative, means and developing a broader approach to tax enforcement more generally. The Article explores responsive regulation as a case study for an alternative method to tax enforcement that heavily draws on the economic paradigm but also supplements this approach with other theories, particularly those involving taxpayer identity, conflict escalation, and procedural justice. The Article suggests that this broader, more balanced, and closely tailored method of regulating responsively may enable regulators to draw on the advantages of the economic model while alleviating some of its drawbacks. Responsive regulation may therefore constitute a superior method for regulating tax compliance.

Investing gurus were all atwitter earlier this month, when it was revealed that Warren Buffett had purchased a 6.4% stake in Motley Fool Inside Value recommendation CarMax (NYSE: KMX ) . Fools like me, seeing that the Oracle of Omaha had bought in right around my own purchase price, found that gratifying.
And interesting, because it sets up the subject of today's mini-column.
According to a report just out on Reuters, the man often heralded as "the next Warren Buffett" just upped his stake in one of CarMax's biggest competitors. That's right: In addition to owning sizeable stakes in Citigroup (NYSE: C ) , Home Depot (NYSE: HD ) , and, of course, Sears Holdings (Nasdaq: SHLD ) , Eddie Lampert now owns a whopping 30% of AutoNation (NYSE: AN ) .
Who's smarter?
Which raises the question: Which of these two titans of the investing world is placing the smarter bet? (And another: If these two certifiable geniuses are both focused on the car dealers, how off his rocker must Kirk Kerkorian have been to be wasting time on car makers GM (NYSE: GM ) and Nissan (Nasdaq: NSANY ) last year?)
Taking a quick side-by-side view of Buffett's and Lampert's targets, here's what I see:
Growth Rate |
Recent Growth* |
CarMax |
23 |
18% |
1.2 |
10% |
AutoNation |
11 |
10% |
1.1 |
(5%) |
I have to admit that, biased as I am in favor of CarMax, I set out on this column with the expectation that I'd find Buffett the hands-down winner. But looking at the numbers, it's actually a much closer call. From a PEG perspective, AutoNation actually looks to be a better buy than CarMax -- even if the pair's recent performance suggests that CarMax is winning the market-share race against its larger rival. AutoNation also has the edge on price when evaluated on price-to-book value, price-to-sales, and that favorite metric of buyout artists, enterprise value-to-EBITDA.
Reluctant as I am to admit it, Eddie Lampert might -- just might -- be making the smarter car play here. But hey, if the runner-up prize in this race is finding yourself riding shotgun with Warren Buffett, I think I can live with my "mistake" of having bought CarMax instead of AutoNation.
Check out the recent performance of these companies:

Title: | Hyperbaric oxygen in chronic cluster headaches: influence on serotonergic pathways |
Author: | Di Sabato, F; Rocco, M; Martelletti, P; Giacovazzo, M |
Abstract: | A controlled study was done with the aim of assessing the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) in cluster headache and of studying the possible influence of this therapeutic approach on serotonergic pathways. Fourteen patients, aged between 26 and 56 yr, suffering from the chronic form of cluster headache were treated with HBO2 (n = 10) or environmental air (placebo) ( n = 4) during the 15 sessions of exposure (lasting 30 min each) in the hyperbaric chamber. The influence of this procedure on serotonergic pathways of pain was monitored by means of study of serotonin binding to mononuclear cells before and after the treatment for both subgroups. All of the treated 14 chronic cluster headache patients completed the study. In the subgroup treated with the placebo, no particular modifications on the number of attacks and of analgesic consumption as well as no change in the specific binding curve of serotonin to mononuclear cells were observed, whereas in the subgroup treated with HBO2 the clinical effectiveness and the appearance of plateau in the binding curves indicated that the oxygen therapy could act through serotonergic pathways. |

My brother (the doctor) sent me an email yesterday suggesting I do a blog post about National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I thanked him, and then realized that it was sort of troubling that I needed that reminder. It was troubling that, in essence, I needed a reminder to do a monthly breast self-exam.
For some reason I've always been a bit negligent in this department. Maybe it's squeamishness. Maybe it's that I can't tell what's normal and what's not. Maybe I'm afraid I'll find something wrong. So now, in recognition of this month, I'm resolving to be more diligent.
A while back, when I was still breastfeeding, I actually had a huge bump on the side of my breast. It really freaked me out. Fortunately, it went away as soon as I fed the baby and was no longer engorged. But I did go to the doctor anyway. She did a thorough check and determined that I was fine.
Breastfeeding can actually decrease your chances of getting breast cancer, but you are still at risk. Heike Malakoff is someone who knows this all too well. She was diagnosed with breast cancer shortly after weaning her twin sons. She has now started an organization called Check Your Boobies. Her website can teach you how to do a breast exam on your self. It will even send you a monthly reminder to do so.
So take the time to think about this aspect of your health. Have your doctor do a breast exam at your next check up. Ask her if it's time for you to get a mammogram. And sign up for the Check Your Boobies email reminder.

Before I had my two kids I had a lump removed from my left breast. I was supposed to have mammograms yearly after that, but spent the next six years either pregnant or breastfeeding. I now get my yearly mammograms, but I don't do my monthly lump checks like I should. Thanks for the reminder!

Re: Bradford
You can live in 1 of 2 worlds. There is 1 world where NFL statistics display with 100% accuracy the performance of an individual. That is the world where statistics alone can show that Bradford is or is not performing well in the clutch or throwing the deep ball well, etc. There is another world where statistics are incomplete and can at times be misleading, where context needs to be taken into account, including the supporting cast, opposition, and just good old fashioned observation. You choose which world to live in based on which one better supports your story. In this thread, you have pulled out stats that you claim alone can show that somebody's observation about Bradford is wrong. Yet if we're talking about his QBR, say from last year, oh well QBR alone can't show his performance because we need to take into account his O-line, his WR, etc. You can't just "fact drop" and act like that's the end of the story while simultaneously saying that you have to look at things other than stats. One of those two has to give.

Re: Bradford
Once again, you're totally missing the point.
I have always cited the context along with the stats. The reason why doing so tends to favor Bradford is that the context he has found himself in since Day 1 has been a higher than average degree-of-difficulty.
If, on the other hand, Bradford was playing with the equivalent of what Kurt Warner had to work with, and still had a passer rating of 81.5, I'd be the first to say that Sam was under-performing.
I've been perfectly clear and perfectly consistent. I'm sorry if this is too complicated for you to follow.

Re: Bradford
Ahh, the ever elusive "it" factor.
You guys ever notice the "it" factor isn't recognized until AFTER a QB wins games?
Apparently, the "it" factor is a solid O-line, skilled backs and receivers, and a stingy defense."Before the gates of excellence the high gods have placed sweat; long is the road thereto and rough and steep at first; but when the heights are reached, then there is ease, though grievously hard in the winning." --- Hesiod

Re: Bradford
I disagree. The it factor is that innate ability to take control and take over a game. It's a presence or sense of confidence that somehow spreads to the whole team and causes panic on the opposition. RGIII isn't winning a lot but he has "it". You can sense "it" when he's on the field. One day "it" will project into wins. Sam doesn't have that type of presense at least I don't see it. Sam has talent and ability and I have heard people rave about his potential. Too my recollection I have never heard any say something like, when Sam's on the field i never feel like we're out of it.

Re: Bradford
I disagree too. Everyone doesnt and cant see the "it" factor... Thats why there are so many draft bust, can we agree on that? "It" is intangible, so how can it be a solid line, skilled back, WRs, or a D? I also feel like Bradford doesnt have ALL of "it". But he is our QB, a pretty good one and he will oly get better though. And some people dont want to go through the hassle of looking up and posting every stat and vid you can find to prove a point... If you cant see the guys deepball isnt where some of us think it should be compared to just about every other qb then so be it. Stats can be misleading, film doesnt lie!!!! And that goes back to draft bust... You can be the ncaa leader of whatever stat and come into the nfl and it not just translate.

Re: Bradford
I wholeheartedly agree that there are intangibles that can separate two guys of comparable physical ability. We've all watched various sports where you JUST KNOW a guy will stage a comeback, get a big hit, hit a big shot, etc. There are some guys who have that innate ability to inspire confidence in both teammates and in fans watching them play. If everything could be measured on a stat sheet, there would be no need for all of the preparation that goes into a draft. You'd simply draft the guy with the best statistics and he'd succeed. We all know it's not that easy.
With all of that said, we need to put this nonsense to rest about Bradford. A healthy debate about just how good he can be is fine. Being critical of perceived shortcomings is also more than acceptable. But saying the guy "sucks" or "will never be a big time player" is simplistic, premature and ill-informed. He has been hamstrung with a variety of personnel, injury and coaching issues for 2 1/2 seasons. There will be a time in the not-too-distant future when we can more accurately judge exactly what type of player Bradford will be. That day isn't here yet.

You want to know what the "it" factor is? Fine, I'll tell you.
"It" is the quality that casual fans assign to some player (typically QBs) that are exciting to watch and have been hyped by the media.
There's your magical "it" factor. It's a useless term and only gets in the way of any fact-based discussion.Last edited by HUbison; -10-26-2012 at 10:32 AM.

Re: Bradford
My take is after five years, Bradford will be but he will be. Until then he is developing every game, every week and every practice.
I have always compared Bradford to Troy Aikman as many others have. So after this week Sam is at the half way point. Two and a half years into the process. How do his numbers compare to Aikman's?
After two years and seven games here are the numbers.
Yards 5,946
INTs 41
Yards 7,268
INTs 27
The numbers are very close, the other interesting thing is the Cowboys made the Walker trade and the Rams made the RGIII trade. Can the Rams find some HOF talent with those extra picks to play with Bradford, like the Cowboys did for Troy.
So far Bradford is right on track IMO.
Not once did I mention scheme changes, bad O line and lack of receivers. All that stuff does not matter Bradford is performing well.Last edited by Rambos; -10-26-2012 at 11:44 AM.

Re: Bradford
I confess, I am indeed confused. Could you please explain to me what you meant in the following quotes:
Just want to know why everybody referencing the blasphemous "it" factor is such an idiot when you seem to have used the idea yourself.
Just to be clear, I'm completely agnostic here about Bradford and the "it" factor or whether it's real, etc. I'm just trying to express the point that as a moderator you should be far more civil than you are, especially when you're attacking people for employing the same reasoning you yourself have used in the past.
-10-26-2012 #117
Re: Bradford
There are what, maybe 4 or 5 QB's in the NFL you can really say that about with any confidence, and you're holding Bradford to that same standard at this point in his career with what he has around him?
Guys like Drew Brees, Eli Manning, and Aaron Rodgers all needed a few years to become that type of player, so I wouldn't write off Bradford just yet.
The "it" factor may be innate, but that doesn't mean it's going to immediately manifest itself regardless of circumstances.
-10-26-2012 #118
Re: Bradford
If you get Bradford should be replaced out of what I said fine. I could see how one would get that implicitly. But make it straight I mean something needs to change, whether it be the line, the receivers, the system, ect...... Yes the Rams are playing better than last year, but I attribute much of that to the defense.
-10-26-2012 #119
Re: Bradford
Of course I've used the term it factor. That does not change the fact that its a SUBJECTIVE concept. I have been arguing objective facts in this thread. What I have criticized is the tactic of hiding behind purely subjective terms when the objective data shows you are wrong.

Parmigiano-Reggiano (/ˌpɑrmɪˌdʒɑːnoʊ rɛˈdʒɑːnoʊ/; Italian pronunciation: [ˌparmiˈdʒaːno redˈdʒaːno]), or Parmesan cheese, is a hard, granular cheese.
It is named after the producing areas, which comprise the Provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Bologna (only the area to the west of the river Reno), Modena (all in Emilia-Romagna), and Mantova (in Lombardia, but only the area to the south of river Po), Italy. Under Italian law, only cheese produced in these provinces may be labelled "Parmigiano-Reggiano", and European law classifies the name, as well as the translation "Parmesan", as a protected designation of origin. Parmigiano is the Italian adjective for Parma and Reggiano that for Reggio Emilia. In the U.S., Canada, and other countries outside the EU, the name "Parmesan" is generally only used for cheeses similar to Parmigiano-Reggiano, with the full Italian name used for traditional Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.[1]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (July 2014) |
Parmigiano-Reggiano is made from unpasteurized cow's milk. The whole milk of the morning milking is mixed with the naturally skimmed milk (which is made by holding milk in large shallow tanks to allow the cream to separate) of the previous evening's milking, resulting in a part skim mixture. This mixture is pumped into copper-lined vats (copper heats and cools quickly). Starter whey (containing a mixture of certain thermophilic lactic acid bacteria) is added, and the temperature is raised to 33–35 °C (91–95 °F). Calf rennet is added, and the mixture is left to curdle for 10–12 minutes. The curd is then broken up mechanically into small pieces (around the size of rice grains). The temperature is then raised to 55 °C (131 °F) with careful control by the cheese-maker. The curd is left to settle for 45–60 minutes. The compacted curd is collected in a piece of muslin before being divided in two and placed in molds. There is 1100 L (291 US gallons or 250 imperial gallons) of milk per vat, producing two cheeses each. The curd making up each wheel at this point weighs around 45 kg (100 lb). The remaining whey in the vat was traditionally used to feed the pigs from which "Prosciutto di Parma" (cured Parma ham) was produced. The barns for these animals were usually just a few yards away from the cheese production rooms.
The cheese is put into a stainless steel, round form that is pulled tight with a spring-powered buckle so the cheese retains its wheel shape. After a day or two, the buckle is released and a plastic belt imprinted numerous times with the Parmigiano-Reggiano name, the plant's number, and month and year of production is put around the cheese and the metal form is buckled tight again. The imprints take hold on the rind of the cheese in about a day and the wheel is then put into a brine bath to absorb salt for 20–25 days. After brining, the wheels are then transferred to the aging rooms in the plant for 12 months. Each cheese is placed on wooden shelves that can be 24 cheeses high by 90 cheeses long or about 4,000 total wheels per aisle. Each cheese and the shelf underneath it is then cleaned manually or robotically every seven days. The cheese is also turned at this time.
At 12 months, the Consorzio Parmigiano-Reggiano inspects every wheel. The cheese is tested by a master grader who taps each wheel to identify undesirable cracks and voids within the wheel. Wheels that pass the test are then heat branded on the rind with the Consorzio's logo. Those that do not pass the test used to have their rinds marked with lines or crosses all the way around to inform consumers that they are not getting top-quality Parmigiano-Reggiano; more recent practices simply have these lesser rinds stripped of all markings.
Traditionally, cows have to be fed only on grass or hay, producing grass fed milk. Only natural whey culture is allowed as a starter, together with calf rennet.[2]
The only additive allowed is salt, which the cheese absorbs while being submerged for 20 days in brine tanks saturated to near total salinity with Mediterranean sea salt. The product is aged an average of two years. The cheese is produced daily, and it can show a natural variability. True Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese has a sharp, complex fruity/nutty taste with a strong savory flavor and a slightly gritty texture. Inferior versions can impart a bitter taste.
The average Parmigiano-Reggiano wheel is about 18–24 cm (7.1–9.4 in) high, 40–45 cm (16–18 in) in diameter, and weighs 38 kg (84 lb).
Parmigiano-Reggiano is commonly grated over pasta dishes, stirred into soups and risottos, and eaten on its own. It is often shaved or grated over other dishes.
Slivers and chunks of the hardest parts of the crust are sometimes simmered in soup. They can also be just roasted and eaten as a snack.
The hollowed-out crust of a whole wheel of Parmigiano can be used as a serving pot for large groups.[3]
According to legend, Parmigiano-Reggiano was created in the course of the Middle Ages in Bibbiano, in the province of Reggio Emilia. Its production soon spread to the Parma and Modena areas. Historical documents show that in the 13th and 14th centuries, Parmigiano was already very similar to that produced today, which suggests its origins can be traced to far earlier.
It was praised as early as 1348 in the writings of Boccaccio; in the Decameron, he invents 'a mountain, all of grated Parmesan cheese', on which 'dwell folk that do nought else but make macaroni and ravioli, and boil them in capon's broth, and then throw them down to be scrambled for; and hard by flows a rivulet of Vernaccia, the best that ever was drunk, and never a drop of water therein.'[4]
During the Great Fire of London of 1666, Samuel Pepys buried his "Parmazan cheese, as well as his wine and some other things" to preserve them.[5]
In the memoirs of Giacomo Casanova,[6] he remarked that the name "Parmesan" was a misnomer common throughout an "ungrateful" Europe in his time (mid-18th century), as the cheese was produced in the town of Lodi, Lombardy, not Parma. Though Casanova knew his table and claimed in his memoir to have been compiling a (never completed) dictionary of cheeses, his comment has been taken to refer mistakenly to a grana cheese very similar to "Parmigiano", the Grana Padano, which is produced in the Lodi area.

Parmigiano has many aroma-active compounds, including various aldehydes and butyrates.[7] Butyric acid and isovaleric acid together are sometimes used to imitate the dominant aromas.[8]
Parmigiano is also particularly high in glutamate, containing as much as 1.2 g of glutamate per 100 g of cheese, making it the naturally produced food with the second highest level of glutamate, after Roquefort cheese. The high concentration of glutamate explains the strong umami taste of Parmigiano.
Parmigiano cheese typically contains cheese crystals, semi-solid to gritty crystalline spots that at least partially consist of the amino acid tyrosine.
Use of the name[edit]
The name is legally protected and, in Italy, legal exclusive control is exercised over its production and sale by the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese Consorzio, which was created by a governmental decree. Each wheel must meet strict criteria early in the aging process, when the cheese is still soft and creamy, to merit the official seal and be placed in storage for aging. Because it is widely imitated, Parmigiano-Reggiano has become an increasingly regulated product, and in 1955 it became what is known as a certified name (which is not the same as a brand name). In 2008 an EU court determined that the name "Parmesan" in Europe only refers to Parmigiano-Reggiano and cannot be used for imitation Parmesan.[9][10][11] Thus in the European Union, "Parmigiano-Reggiano" is a protected designation of origin (PDO - DOP in Italian); legally, the name refers exclusively to the Parmigiano-Reggiano PDO cheese manufactured in a limited area in northern Italy. Special seals identify the product as authentic, with the identification number of the dairy, the production month and year, a code identifying the individual wheel and stamps regarding the length of aging.[3]
Outside Europe[edit]
Outside Europe, commercially produced imitation cheeses may be legally sold under the generic name Parmesan. When sold in Europe, such cheeses are obliged to be sold under other names, such as Kraft's "pamesello italiano".[12]
Similar cheeses[edit]

- Cows can also be fed silage, not grass and hay only
- The milk contains slightly less fat
- Milk of several days can be used
- No organic certifications[citation needed]
- No controlled proceedings over cow breeds[citation needed]
- No cow feed control[citation needed]
- It is aged for up to 20 months
Gran Moravia[edit]
Gran Moravia is a cheese from the Czech Republic similar to Grana Padano and Parmigiano.[13]
Reggianito is an Argentine cheese similar to Parmigiano.
