Selection of proper truck tire gives a comfortable ride and reduces the wear and tear on the tire drive mechanism, brakes and suspension parts. Wheels And Tires in Bryanston many factors determine the selection of suitable type of tire. These include the terrain where the truck is mostly driven, the climatic conditions, normal driving speed and the full load that is expected to be carried in the truck. Three major tire companies who design and manufacture truck tire for wide range of applications on different and difficult terrains are Mickey Thomson, Super Swamper and Pro com.
Mickey Thomson Truck tireMickey Thomson truck tire manufactured by Mickey Thomson Tire Company was founded in the year 1963.

Wheels And Tires in Bryanston ?
Car tires are more important than many people give them credit for being. They are literally your link with the road. The most dangerous place for you to be is out of or in poor contact with the road. In this predicament you are not able to have any input into your course of direction and that is a bad thing when you are going 60 plus miles per hour with no way to avoid crashing into something. Friction is what we are going for and there are some things that you have control of and some things that you dont in this area. You are responsible for your own and anyone elses life in the car you are driving and so you had better be sure that you have taken all the measures that you can to prevent a problem. Now the contact of the road has several factors as already mentioned. The majority of the friction comes from the contact of rubber of the tire with the concrete or asphalt of the road. The action of gravity on the mass of your car is the only thing that is causing this contact and so naturally more weight equals more friction between the road and your car tires. A good thing but can turn against you in the form of inertia after the friction has been overcome say after youve locked up the brakes, now inertia is greater with a heavier vehicle and takes more in the way of friction to stop it. Anyway rubber and concrete naturally have a lot of friction. Air pressure in tires will change the properties of the rubber by stretching it so that if a tire is overfilled it can decrease the amount of friction. There is also less surface area in this case. Anyway so you have rubber tires and concrete roads what more can you be responsible for? Well tread for one. How does tread affect the ability of car tires to make contact with the road? Well now we have to talk about outside factors that affect the surface of the road, namely weather. Water and snow and mud decrease the amount of friction by filling the natural grooves and not allowing contact between rubber and road. So how does tread help in this situation. Well tread is actually good because of the grooves in the tread of your car tires. The grooves allow the material no matter what it is to have a place to go other than between the rubber of the tire and the road. This decreases the hydroplaning effect that you get with all the different natural elements that can make driving conditions bad. So the moral of the story is to make sure that you always have good tires with lots of tread on your vehicle in order to maximize the ability of your car to grip the road and therefore provide you with control over the vehicle that allows you to slow down and steer to avoid problems.
7 Common Causes of Car Tyre Wear
Commercial truck tires should be chosen carefully because they are used on trucks that are used in businesses or commercial purposes. That is why truckers exert extra effort in the quest to find the right ones for their trucks. The best tip ever when it comes to buying commercial truck tires is to go all out and spend more for the best tires. It may seem odd to advice you to buy expensive truck tires and tell you that you can save money doing so, but it is possible. Here's why:Buying quality tires will save you money because they last longer and are more durable than inexpensive tires. This means you do not have to keep buying new tires every time inferior tires break down. Buying more often is more expensive than buying expensive ones now and not buying again for years after that.Inferior tires may be cheaper but once it breaks down, it will cost you more than buying expensive tires in the first place. Commercial trucks often carry important loads and if your truck breaks down, you might not be able to make that important delivery, thus, making you lose money and clients as well. This would be bad for business and may make you lose more than the cost of expensive tires. Quality tires can enhance the performance of your truck and can make deliveries on time or even earlier.Expensive truck tires can make your travel smoother because it has better treads. Quality tires have better rolling resistance that is why you lessen the use of acceleration during travel time, and you save money on fuel as well. Remember that fuel prices are very unpredictable and saving money on fuel is every driver's dream come true.But it is not enough to have quality and expensive tires for your commercial trucks. You have to take care of your commercial truck tires as well. Doing so will make them last even longer. You have to make sure they are properly inflated at all times. If you feel a little slack, pump them immediately to avoid accidents. Check your tires regularly for any wear and tear. Remove objects that might have stuck during travelling to prevent them from getting buried deeper. Commercial truck tires are easy to purchase nowadays especially with the help of the internet. You can find great deals online and compare prices and features at the comfort of your own home.
You may need to replace or change your car tyres because of their age, deterioration or to improve the vehicle's performance. This article outlines some of the key factors that need to be considered before choosing the right car tyres for your vehicle.
1) Car Tyre Size
A good policy is to choose the same size car tyres as the ones that the car was manufactured with. If you are unsure of the vehicle manufacturer's recommended car tyre size, check the owner's manual or look for the information on the tyre placard (usually located inside the fuel flap, on the car door or in the glove box).
Changing car tyre size can improve a vehicle's handling and performance but be aware of the Government regulations before doing this. A car tyre specialist can provide advice on this matter.
2) Driving Habits
Certain car tyre brands are quieter than others, which is an important factor if you spend much of your time driving up and down motorways.
e) Run Flat Tyres
Run flat tyres are a relatively new concept but are becoming more common on new cars. They are designed to operate without air to enable the vehicle to continue being driven when it has a puncture.
5) Weather Conditions
The UK weather conditions can be very changeable. Summer can have temperatures in the high 20's. And then winter brings freezing temperatures, icy conditions and wet weather.
Cold weather car tyres are becoming a popular choice as they are designed to cope with the cold and wet weather of winter but with no significant downside if used during the summer months.
Standard or performance car tyres are suitable in countries with a warm and dry climate all year round.
For further help consult a car tyre specialist who can provide you with impartial advice on which are the best tyres for your vehicle, budget and driving circumstances.

Portuguese Podengo Pequenos of America -- http://www.pppamerica.org
Hi, my name is Marilyn, and I'm the show chairperson for the 2010 Portuguese Podengo Pequenos of America Specialty Show. I've been showing dogs of various breeds for over 20 years. Podengo Pequenos are a rare breed in this country right now, but they are destined to become more popular once we are officially recognized by the American Kennel Club. You can see more of me and my Podengo Pequeno here: http://podlover.wordpress.com/
People who go to these shows are at least as crazy about their dogs as I am. Our club was recently selected by the American Kennel Club to be the National Club for this breed. This is definitely something to celebrate at our very first show.
Our show is going to be very near York, PA, the home of Harley Davidson. One of the old Harley Davidson slogans was "The Road Starts Here, It Never Ends." Since this will be the very first PPPA Specialty, we want to use "The Road Starts Here" as the theme for our show.
I'm looking for a design that can go on either the front or back (I haven't decided which yet) of a T-shirt. The design must incorporate the Show name, date, and slogan:
PPPA National Specialty
April 17, 2010
The Road Starts Here
It must also include a representative podengo pequeno (in outline or silhouette is ok) OR our club logo.
Since our theme is "The Road Starts Here" we're looking for something that conveys the start of a trip or journey. Ideas we like are a road with a podengo on a road sign, a dog on a motorcycle, or a road viewed through motorcycle handlebars. I've uploaded some clipart (copyrighted) that is along the lines of what we're thinking about, but this is where you are welcome to use your creativity!
We will be across the street from the Harley Davidson museum, so any vehicle representation should be motorcycle, not car. The show is in central PA, in the Spring, so the landscape should be appropriate (not Southwest, Mountains, snowy, etc). We'll also be close to Hershey, PA, which may (or may not) be useful.
Nothing too elegant, and no photos.
Our club website - which contains our logo, is http://www.PPPAmerica.org

Traders were back pushing the long side of corn on Tuesday. The December contract gained 4 1/2 cents at $7.43 1/4. The March contract added 4 3/4 cents to close at $7.47 1/4. New-crop December 2013 futures settled 4 cents higher at 6.23. Monday saw a global rush to buy commodities because progress might actually be occurring to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff in early 2013. But with many commodities retreating in price on Tuesday as new doubts emerged on economies, including a downgrade of French debt ratings, the corn market turned back to the bullish supply/demand fundamentals to spur buying.
The soybean market was higher on Tuesday as some new concerns about South American production emerged. There was market talk about how the global analytical firm Oil World this week reduced its soybean production forecasts for Argentina and Brazil by a combined 3 million tonnes. Weather outlooks do appear to be generally favorable for Brazil over the next one to two weeks. Argentine farmers face the unwelcome prospects of more rains in the central grain region that will delay plantings. At the close, January was up 18 cents at $14.12 3/4. New-crop November gained 15 cents to close at $12.91 3/4.
Wheat futures closed with slight gains Tuesday. It has become a bit of a stalemate between bullish traders noting the continued deterioration in the central and southern Plains wheat condition ratings while market bears note U.S. export sales continue to lag where they should be by now if USDA's latest wheat export forecast is to be realized. Even the recent talk about sales drying up out of Russia and the Ukraine have been of limited benefit to U.S. sales because exporters in those countries booked so aggressively in anticipation of a possible sales shut-down that sales on the books and still likely to be shipped already meet or exceed USDA's forecast exports for both countries. At the close, CBOT December was up 3 ¼ at $8.45; KCBT December was up 1 ½ at $8.77 ½ and MGE December was up 2 ½ at $9.12 ¾.
Cattle futures prices settled with modest gains on Tuesday. There was not much news to move the market higher corn prices and lower energy prices gave the cattle market a modest lift. There is no real activity in the cash cattle market with buyers and sellers still far apart. Trade volume is very light across all markets as traders prepare for the holiday. Markets will be open Wednesday and Friday, but activity is expected to be very limited. The December live cattle contract gained 45 cents and settled at $127.05. February was up 38 cents at $130.53. Feeder cattle prices were also modestly higher in very light trading Tuesday.
Hog futures posted modest gains on Tuesday. The June contract settled at $101.08, the highest level since October 11 and the second highest of the year. Futures prices gains some support from a bounce in corn prices but cash hog prices were reported to be steady to lower on Tuesday. The December contract settled at $81.65 on Tuesday and there is a good chance that the national average cash price dropped to around $72. That gap will need to close at least some over the next few weeks.

Research and general acceptance
Osteoporosis, most commonly referred to as "thinning of the bones", is a disease in which bone mineral density is reduced. This can cause the bones become brittle and fragile and easily fracture. Although there is no cure for osteoporosis, it can be prevented. Healthy diets, along with weight bearing exercise, are key factors in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. The focus of the osteoporosis diet is on optimising bone health at every stage in life and is based on a normal balanced diet with an emphasis on calcium rich foods and Vitamin D.
Osteoporosis is a worldwide health concern. 2007 figures (International Osteoporosis Federation (IOF) estimate it affects 75 million people in the United States (US), Europe and Japan and this is forecast to double in 50 years in line with increasing populations and increased life expectancy. In other parts of the world, such as Africa and Asia, the incidence is much lower, but according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), it is projected that the greatest increase in osteoporosis will take place in developing countries.Despite being one of the world's most common diseases, it is only now receiving international

recognition. As recent as 30 years ago it was thought weak and broken bones was an unavoidable consequence of growing old.
In 1984 a Consensus Development Conference on Osteoporosis, held by the National Institute of Health (NIH) in the US, highlighted the need for more information on the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. This led to the establishment of the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) US in 1985, followed the United Kingdom (UK) National Osteoporosis Society (NOS) in 1986 both of which are now members of the much larger IOF, based in France, formed in 1998. In 2004, the first US Surgeon General's Report on Bone Health & Osteoporosis listed vitamin D, calcium and exercise, as the three essential elements for optimal bone health. The importance of diet was further highlighted in 2006, by a report from the IOF "Bone Appetit:the role of food and nutrition in building and maintaining strong bones", which shared its title with the theme of World Osteoporosis Day.
Calcium and osteoporosis
Research on recommended calcium intakes has focussed on either meeting requirements or on optimising bone density. Also calcium requirements for adults vary between geographic regions and cultures because of differing dietary, genetic and lifestyle factors, including physical activity and sun exposure. As such Calcium requirements vary from country to country.
In 1997, the American calcium guidelines were set significantly higher, than the previous recommendations set in 1989, following a 1994 National Institute of Health (NIH) conference on calcium intake. They recommended that calcium intakes in young people be increased to maximize peak bone mass and protect against osteoporosis. Calcium levels increased from 1,200 to 1,300 milligrams (mg) per day for adolescents and teens. Adults had an increase of 200mg to 1,000mg daily, while adults after 50 years were increased to 1,200 mg daily, 400 mg more than previously recommended.
In 2005, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Dietary Guidelines for Americans increased the dairy serving for the first time from 2–3 a day to three a day (1 serving is approximately equal to 300 mg of calcium) since they were first published in 1980. This was to meet the higher recommended calcium intakes.
In contrast some other developed countries have lower recommended levels for example in the UK the 1998 recommended daily intakes are 550mg for children age 7 to 10, 800mg–1,000mg for age 15 to 18 ranges and 700–800mg for adults aged 19 to 50. The NOS also recommends 1200mg for those with osteoporosis. The UK Cambridge Bone Study, still on going in 2007, is determining whether young people aged 16 to 18 should increase calcium intakes to 1000 mg a day. In France for age 15 to 18, 1,200mg is recommended and in Nordic countries for boys the range is from 900mg.
Despite the higher recommendations surveys indicate that actual calcium intakes are often inadequate. According to the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III (NHANES 1988–1994) all age groups, with the exception of young children, have an intake lower than the recommended level. The UK 2000 National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) of British young people aged 4 to 18, indicated only one in four girls is eating at least three portions of dairy products daily.
As a result of multiple factors influencing calcium requirements, in 2007 there is no single internationally accepted recommended calcium intake. In countries where osteoporosis is common, such as Western European, America and Canada and Japan, calcium intakes are based on the 2002 Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations.
Vitamin D and osteoporosis
and deposit it in the bone. A deficiency in Vitamin D can cause a softening of the bone. Rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults are examples of extreme vitamin D deficiency. Osteoporosis is an example of long-term low levels of vitamin D.
Similar to calcium, there are several factors that affect the required intake of Vitamin D, including exposure to sunlight and dietary intake. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for adults was set in 1941 at 400 international units (IU) or 10 micro-gram (mcg) per day. This was the amount of vitamin D in a teaspoon of cod liver oil found to prevent rickets in infants. This RDA remained around this level until the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) released new guidelines in 1997. The new adequate intake (AI) was based on Vitamin D intakes required to achieve an optimal blood level of Vitamin D, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, in the absence of sun exposure.
Results suggested a level of at least 500 IU (12.5 mcg) from which an RDA could be set. As there is still no agreed definition of optimum 25-hydroxyvitamin D status, dietary Vitamin D recommendations vary from country to country.
Adequate intakes for vitamin D, in the US and Canada (2007), range from 200 IU (5 mcg) for 0 to 50 years, 400 IU (10 mcg) for 51 to 70 years and 600 IU (15 mcg) for over 70 years.
In the UK, Government's Committee on Medical Aspects of Food Policy Panel on Dietary Reference Values says "No dietary intake (of Vitamin D) is necessary for adults living a normal lifestyle." However, children up to the age of two years are recommended to receive a supplement containing 280 IU (7mcg) of vitamin D daily. Pregnant and lactating women and those age 65 and over are advised to take 400 IU (10 mcg).
As with calcium, evidence from surveys show that intake levels fall below the recommendations. In the USA, the NHANES (1999-2000), found a prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency in healthy adults living in Canada and the United States despite their Vitamin D food fortification programs. The UK NDNS (1998) of people aged 65 years and over found that approximately 98% had vitamin D intakes below the level. The same survey in 1990 of people aged 4 to 18 years also found a low vitamin D state in a significant proportion of those surveyed. In both sexes, this problem increased with age and thought linked to less time spent outside.
As of 2007, the IOF recommends the 2002 The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommended Vitamin D intakes, which are based on Western European, American and Canadian data.
In addition to calcium and Vitamin D there is some evidence to suggest that other nutrients are beneficial to bone health such as magnesium, zinc, vitamins A, B, C, and K, however some of the evidence is weak and controversial as discussed below.
The osteoporosis diet focuses on maintaining or building strong bones throughout life. The emphasis is on Calcium and Vitamin D, but a balanced diet, with adequate protein and fresh fruits and vegetables and moderate intakes of alcohol, is also recommended. Other nutrients, which may promote or hinder bone health, are also included in this section.
Nutrients that promote bone health
CALCIUM. There are many foods that contain calcium, but not all are good sources because the calcium may not be well absorbed. Some non-dairy sources of calcium, such as cereals and pulses, contain compounds that bind to the calcium reducing its ability to be absorbed. For example, oxalates in spinach and rhubarb and phytates in pulses such as lentil, chickpeas and beans, and cereals and seeds. They do not however interfere with the absorption of calcium from other foods.
The most readily absorbed sources of dietary calcium include:
- Dairy products: These are rich sources of well-absorbed calcium and include foods such as milk, cheese, cream, yoghurt and fromage fraise. They are also a good source of other nutrients that that work together to help protect bone such as protein, Vitamin D, zinc and magnesium. Three servings of dairy foods daily is the recommendation. One serving is approximately 250ml milk, 200 g yoghurt and 40 g cheese, which provide 300mg calcium.
- Green leafy vegetables: These include broccoli, col-lard greens, mustard greens, kale and bok choy. Broccoli (85g) provides 34mg calcium
- Tinned fish: These need to fish with edible bones such as sardine, pilchards, and salmon. Tinned sardines (100g) provides 430mg calcium
- Nuts and seeds: Especially Brazil nuts and almonds. 6 almonds provides 31mg calcium
- Fruit: Especially oranges, apricots and dried figs. 1 orange provides 75mg calcium
- Tofu set with calcium: If it is prepared using calcium sulphate tofu (100g) contains 200-330mg calcium.
Some foods and drinks are fortified with calcium such as breads, cereals, orange juice and Soya milk (Soya milk doesn't naturally contain calcium). These products should be specifically labeled as such.
VITAMIN D. It is made in the body by the action of the sun on the skin and a fifteen-minute walk each day usually provides all the vitamin D the body needs. Vitamin D is also fat-soluble vitamin found mainly in foods of animal origin.
Dietary sources of Vitamin D include:
- Oily fish: Salmon, tuna, mackerel, and sardines. Tinned sardine (100g) provides 260 IU Vitamin D
- Liver: Cooked liver (100g) provides 17 IU Vitamin D
- Egg yolk: 1 whole egg provides 20 IU Vitamin D
- Fish oil: 1 tablespoon provides 1360 IU Vitamin
In some countries vitamin D is added to breakfast cereals, grain products and pastas, milk, milk products, margarine, and infant formula. In the US milk has been fortified since the 1930's, which almost eliminated rickets. In 2003 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the fortification of calcium-fortified juice and juice drinks. Canada has mandatory fortification of milk and margarine. In the UK, all margarine is fortified with vitamin D and it is added voluntarily to other fat spreads and some breakfast cereals. In Australia, margarine and some milk products are fortified. Finland introduced fortification of milk and margarines in 2003, while other European countries do not allow for any food fortification.
PROTEIN. During growth, low protein intakes can impair bone development increasing the risk for osteoporosis later in life. Protein is also important for maintaining muscle mass and strength. This is particularly important for the elderly to help prevent falls and fractures.
Protein sources include lean red meat, poultry, eggs, fish and diary as well as legumes (lentils, kidney beans), tofu, soymilk, vegetables, nuts, seeds and grains. There has been some conflict regarding the effect of animal versus vegetable protein on bone health. This will be discussed in the research and acceptance section.
FRUIT AND VEGETABLES. The Framington Heart Study (1948–1992) showed that lifelong dietary intakes of fruit and vegetables have beneficial effects on bone mineral density in elderly men and women. A 2006 British study also suggests that fruit and vegetable intakes may have positive effects on bone mineral in adolescents as well as older women. As of 2007, the nutrients, which are thought to improve bone mineral density, are still to be determined. It may be due to their alkaline nature, which neutralizes acids of digestion without using the buffering effects of calcium, or to their vitamin C, beta-carotene, vitamin K, magnesium or potassium content. As such the recommendations are to aim for at least five portions of fruit and vegetable a day.
VITAMIN K. Vitamin K is required for the production of osteocalcin, which is important for bone mineralisation. It seems Vitamin K may not only increase bone mineral density in osteoporotic people, but also reduce fracture rates. However, the mechanism is not well understood and in 2007, there is still inadequate evidence to show adding vitamin K would be effective in preventing or treating osteoporosis. Good dietary sources of Vitamin K are green leafy vegetables such as spinach, lettuce, cabbage, kale, liver and fermented cheeses and soybeans. Keeping to the recommendation of 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day can help optimise Vitamin K intakes.
MAGNESIUM. Magnesium is a mineral that helps keep blood calcium levels constant. The elderly are at most risk of low magnesium levels, as magnesium absorption rates decrease and excretion rates increase with age. However, as of 2007, no studies recommend magnesium supplementation for preventing or treating osteoporosis. Good food sources of magnesium are green leafy vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds and whole grains.
ZINC. Zinc is a constituent of hydroxylapatite, the main mineral component of bone. Dietary sources include whole grain products, brewer's yeast, wheat bran and germ, seafood and meats and poultry. Zinc from animal sources are more easily absorbed than vegetable sources, so vegetarians may be at risk for low levels of zinc.
Nutrients that hinder bone health
ALCOHOL. Moderate alcohol intake of 2 units of alcohol /day is not thought to be harmful to bone health. However, studies show that more than 2 units/day are associated with a decrease in bone formation.
CAFFEINE. Caffeine has been implicated as a factor for osteoporosis, but without any convincing evidence up to 2007. Moderate consumption of caffeine, 400mg/d, the equivalent of 3 to 5 cups of coffee, depending on the size and strength, can be taken as part of a healthy diet.
SOFT DRINKS. In 2007 there were suggestions that the high phosphate content of carbonated cola drinks can result in low peak bone mass. However, there is no conclusive evidence that supports the claim. The problem tends to be the soft drinks displace milk in the diets of children and teenagers. The advice is to consume these drinks in moderation.
SALT. A high salt (sodium) intake increases excretion of calcium in the urine, so is considered a risk factor for bone loss and osteoporosis.
VITAMIN A. Vitamin A plays an important part in bone growth, but too much in the form of retinol, found in foods of animal origin such as liver, fish liver oils and dairy products, may promote fractures. Vitamin A as carotene, in green leafy vegetables and red and yellow fruits and vegetables, does not appear to cause problems. As of 2007, more studies are recommended.
BOTANICAL MEDICINES OR HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS. Herbalists and Chinese medicine practitioners believe that certain herbs can slow the rate of bone loss. Some commonly recommended products are ones containing calcium carbonate or silica such as horsetail, oat straw, alfalfa, licorice, marsh mallow, yellow dock, and Asian ginseng. Natural hormone therapy, using plant estrogens (from soybeans) or progesterone (from wild yams), may be recommended for women who cannot or choose not to take synthetic hormones. However, because the FDA does not regulate the manufacture and distribution of herbal substances in the United States, no quality standards currently exist. Individuals need to discuss use of these substances with their doctor or pharmacist or dietitian.
Once peak bone mass s is achieved, bone turnover is stable in both sexes until mid 1940s and so the nutritional requirement for calcium remains stable during this time. However, even after reaching full skeletal growth, adequate calcium intake is important because the body loses calcium every day through shed skin, nails, hair, sweat, urine and feces.
Bone loss begins from about 40 years. It is part of the normal ageing process and for women this bone loss is also accelerated further at the time of menopause. In addition, intestinal calcium absorption decreases and calcium excretion in the urine increases, so the body will compensate for low blood calcium levels by drawing on calcium in the bones. A decreased capacity of the skin to synthesize Vitamin D and less exposure to sunlight due to decreased mobility also makes the elderly high risk for low Vitamin D levels. Increasing calcium and Vitamin D from the diet therefore becomes more important.
The guidelines are important for age related bone loss as well as other groups at risk for developing osteoporosis such as:
- People allergic to diary products or with severe lactose intolerance avoid milk based products and foods containing milk products. Fortified soy or rice milks are adequate substitutes to meet calcium requirements, but they are not suitable for infants. Specialized milk substitute formulae are required for infant feeding. Green leafy vegetables, sardines, salmon, soymilk and calcium-fortified foods are all milk -free foods that are rich in calcium and vitamin D. Some lactose intolerant individuals may be able to tolerate some milk products as part of a meal, such as Swiss cheese and cottage cheese, which are naturally low in lactose.
- Vegans do not eat any products of animal origin, which includes milk and dairy products. Important calcium foods for Vegans include tofu, fortified Soya milk, green leafy vegetables, seeds, nuts and calcium fortified foods.
- Populations with limited exposure to sunlight, such as those in the northern latitudes, cover up for religious reasons or use sunscreen due to concerns about skin cancer and other skin diseases need to depend more on dietary sources of Vitamin D. Darker skinned people also make less Vitamin D from sunlight.
- Individuals who have problems with fat absorption may have low Vitamin D levels. As Vitamin D is fat-soluble, it requires some digestion of fat for absorption. A reduced ability to absorb fat is associated with conditions such as Cystic Fibrosis, Crohn's Disease, and Celiac disease . Individuals on long-term oral corticosteroids, including those with asthma, arthritis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have an increased risk of developing osteoporosis. Steroids contribute to increased osteoclast activity (bone break down) and inhibit osteoblast formation (bone building). Steroids also interfere with the absorption of calcium in the small intestine.
For those populations at risk for osteoporosis, calcium and Vitamin D supplements may be needed to meet daily requirement. The types of supplements available vary by country, so individuals should take medical advice before using them.
Three portions of low fat diary foods along with plenty of fruits and vegetables can help to lower blood pressure as shown in the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) study.
Research in 2003 looking at weight loss in over weight individuals showed diets high in low fat diary may contribute to lower body fat, especially in combination with a lower calorie intake. Increased dietary calcium is thought to bind more fatty acids in the colon, inhibiting fat absorption. It may also directly affect whether adipocytes store or break down fat.
Research supported by the U. S. National Cancer Institute and published in 2007 suggests diets rich in calcium, Vitamin D and diary foods may reduce the risk of colon cancer by 28%. The American Cancer Society encourages the inclusion of low-fat and fat-free dairy foods in a healthy diet, as part of their recommendations for cancer risk reduction.
For those who have high cholesterol, low-fat dairy products are recommended to meet their calcium requirements. Low fat alternatives have the same amount of protein and up to 20% higher in calcium, with less total and saturated fat than full fat products.
Calcium also has the potential to compete with the absorption of other important minerals, such as iron. Individuals with iron deficiency and taking iron supplements should avoid taking them at the same time.
servings of dairy reported a 27% lower incidence of kidney stones than those who did not. However, higher levels of supplemental calcium in older men and women may be associated with an increased risk of kidney stones.
High calcium intakes may also increase prostate cancer risk. A 2001 Harvard School of Public Health study showed that men consuming the most dairy products had about 32% higher risk of developing prostate cancer than those consuming the least.
The recommendation is not to avoid calcium, but keep to the recommended guidelines of 1000mg for adults and not to exceed the upper limit set at 2000– 2500mg of calcium per day.
Health concerns with too much Vitamin D are rare. Excess vitamin D is generally the result of taking high dose of supplements rather than from too much sunlight or food sources alone. The tolerable upper intake level (UL) for vitamin D at 1,000 IU (25 mcg) for infants up to 12 months of age and 2,000 IU (50 mcg) IU for children, adults, pregnant, and lactating women.
Research and general acceptance
Adequate calcium and Vitamin D are key to reducing the risk of osteoporosis and this is the general acceptance all mainstream medical associations, member societies of the IOF, and part of the recommended dietary guidelines for many countries.
In 2007, The FDA is proposing to allow dairy processors and other food manufacturers to use new label language to promote the health benefits of calcium. Currently, a sample claim is "Regular exercise and a healthy diet with enough calcium helps teen and young adult white and Asian women maintain good bone health and may reduce their high risk of osteo porosis later in life". Under a proposed new rule, milk cartons, yogurt packages and even some fat-free cheeses could soon display wording to the effect that Vitamin D and calcium can help reduce the risk of osteoporosis and promote bone health.
However, there is still the continued debate on the benefit of consuming the large amounts of calcium currently recommended for adults. Countries with high calcium intakes such as America and Sweden have some of the highest rates of osteoporosis. In contrast, countries such as the Gambia, China, Peru and India, have a much lower fracture incidence, despite an average calcium intake of 300mg/d, less than a third the amount recommended in the USA. Differing dietary, genetic and lifestyle factors, including physical activity and sun exposure may account for the low fracture rate, but there are some thoughts that the differences are related to high intakes of animal protein, of which diary is included. High protein increases the acid load in the body. In order to neutralize the acid, the body pulls calcium from bones, which may increase bone loss and increase the risk of osteoporosis. As such there are thoughts that the focus of the guidelines should be aimed at encouraging everyone to eat more calcium-rich plant-based foods, instead of consuming more dairy foods. Fruits and vegetables are considered alkali rich foods that do not need neutralizing and as such are more beneficial to bone health. In addition, they are low in calories, full of fiber and antioxidants. As of 2007, recommendations are that more studies are needed to understand the consequences of this acid- base balance for skeletal health in the long term.

The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program pays benefits to disabled adults and children who have limited income and resources. SSI benefits also are payable to people 65 and older without disabilities who meet the financial limits. The maximum benefit in 2015 is $733 per month.
The monthly federal SSI payment amount changes from year to year. Visit http://www.socialsecurity.gov/OACT/COLA/SSI.html to see the amount for this year.
Many figures used to calculate Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits are revised annually by the Social Security Administration, the federal agency that administers the program. These figures are usually updated in October and can be found in the November issue of the Federal Register, the official government source for administrative changes.
You can also find the figures on the SSA website, or by calling the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213, or TTY at 1-800-325-0778 between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Eastern time.
You must be: Disabled or Legally Blind or 65 or older
Your countable income must be less that the "benefit amount,". Some types or amounts of income are not counted. In some situations, income from another household member may be counted.
Your countable assets not more than:
$2,000 for an individual
$3,000 for a married couple (couple may be either an opposite sex or same sex married couple in many states).
Assets that are not counted:
- A home
- a car (if used for) transportation for you or a member of your household
- household goods and
- personal effects.
Social Security office. Locate your Social Security Office
- You can appeal any denial, termination, or reduction of benefits
- You must file an appeal within 60 days of the date of the written notice with which you disagree.
- In addition, you have a 5 day "grace period" to allow for mailing the notice to you, making the total amount of time you have to file an appeal 60+5 days.

United Nations (UN) secretary general Ban Ki-moon urged leaders from Africa's Great Lakes region to sign an agreement aimed at ending recurrent unrest in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where the M23 rebels control swathes of mineral-rich territory.
But a signing ceremony for the deal – the details of which have not been made public – was cancelled on Monday morning just 30 minutes before it was due to take place. "This is a very complex issue, talks are still continuing," said Eri Kaneko, a spokesperson for Ban, without giving further details.
The presidents of Rwanda and Uganda – which UN experts have accused of backing the M23, a charge both governments deny – as well as DRC, Angola, Burundi, DRC, South Africa and Tanzania had been expected to sign the deal.
Rwandan President Paul Kagame and his Ugandan counterpart Yoweri Museveni both refused to comment on the proposed deal, holding a discreet meeting on Monday on the sidelines of the African Union (AU) summit.
Ban urged regional leaders at the opening of the AU summit on Sunday to "endorse a Peace Security and Cooperation Framework to address the structural causes of the recurring cycles of violence" in the region.
Mali response criticised
The latest cycle of unrest in eastern DRC erupted last year. The rebels seized the key eastern city of Goma in November before pulling out 12 days later. Peace talks have been held in Uganda, but have so far made little headway.
Other discussions at the AU summit – the second and final day of the 54-member bloc's bi-annual meeting – focused on Mali, including the scaling-up of African troops to help the Malian army battle Islamist militants who seized the country's vast desert north in April last year.
On Sunday, outgoing AU chairperson Thomas Boni Yayi, the president of Benin, told fellow leaders their response to conflict in Mali had been too slow, and thanked France, the country's former colonial ruler, for taking the lead in its military intervention there.
France's action, launched on January 11 after extremists seized a central town and threatened to advance on the capital, was something "we should have done a long time ago to defend a member country", he said, asking how it was "that Africa, despite having the means to defend itself, continued to wait".
He appealed for "further commitment … for the financing of all the forces". The UN chief also told the summit he was "determined to do everything to help the people of Mali", but urged the government to ensure "an inclusive political process".
After the summit, African leaders are expected to stay behind for a donor conference on Tuesday to drum up support for the African-led International Support Mission to Mali.
Bloody clashes
On Friday, the AU security council gave member states one week to commit troops to the force. Tensions between Sudan and newly-independent South Sudan and efforts to build peace in chronically unstable Somalia have also been discussed at the summit.
South Sudan's President Salva Kiir and his northern counterpart Omar al-Bashir met again on Sunday after face-to-face talks on Friday ahead of the summit, but officials said no progress had been made.
On Somalia, Ban said he welcomed the seizure of a string of key towns from Islamist insurgents by AU troops there, saying it had "opened space for peace-building".
The country's al-Qaeda-linked Shebab militants have been losing ground to a 17 000-strong AU force and Ethiopian troops who invaded in 2011 from the west. – Sapa-AFP

While he was here for the opening of Glenn Ligon: AMERICA, we talked with the artist about various works, including his response to Mapplethorpe in Notes on the Margin of the Black Book; the coal dust paintings he began making in the 1990s, and the Coloring series, reinterpreting coloring book images from the 1970s. He also talked about To Disembark, an installation in the second gallery of the exhibition, inspired by the history of Henry Box Brown.
It was a hard video to edit; Glenn is extraordinarily articulate and self-reflective.

Understand your World. Leverage the Understanding by Design instructional approach to bring students to a deeper understanding of their world that they can demonstrate through real-life assessment tasks.
The myStory videos provide engaging stories from some of the most compelling and eventful times in the history of our world. myStory seeks to hook students to the content they are learning through graphic novel myStories and animations.
The myStory videos range from 2-4 minutes per video.
myWorld is based on the UbD™ framework for curriculum, assessment and learning. The UbD™ framework encourages teachers to focus on careful planning with a focus on the long term goal of student understanding rather than the short term goal of content coverage/instruction. It is designed to foster a deep understanding by preparing students for what they can do without prompting or after the teacher is gone. Most importantly, the UbD™ framework is focused on big ideas framed as Essential Questions. This methodology helps students find greater meaning in their learning by connecting content so students move away from discrete facts and skills and into a deeper level of understanding and knowledge about the subject at hand. In practice, the UbD™ framework results in students that are more engaged in learning and better able to connect their learning to other areas and their own lives so they form a deeper understanding that sticks.

I often find myself telling people I have the best job in the world!
By Ashlie Gates
I am a family care nurse at Swedish Medical Center. Each day, I get the chance to teach eager and excited parents how to care for their new baby. I enjoy building relationships with these patients and their families and helping them feel confident and ready to care for their child when they leave the hospital.
I chose to deliver my daughter at Swedish because I just couldn't imagine trusting anyone else with such a big moment in my life.
Recently, I got to experience the other end of this nurse/ patient relationship. Nine months ago, I gave birth to my first child at Swedish Medical Center. I chose to deliver my daughter at Swedish because I just couldn't imagine trusting anyone else with such a big moment in my life. It was the best decision I could have made. I knew my co-workers were great, but I truly didn't understand how great they were until I became their patient. My nurses were fabulous in both the Labor and Delivery and Family Care units. My labor and delivery nurse talked me through each procedure and helped me explore relaxation and pain management techniques during my labor. She was a wonderful cheerleader and helped boost my confidence to get through it.
My nurses in Family Care were there to assist me with my every need. It would have been easy for them to leave me alone assuming I knew what I was doing but they made sure they were there assisting me along the way. They also really took my husband under their wing. This was his first experience with a baby; they were patient and caring with him in showing him how to care for our daughter from changing her diaper to swaddling her for the first time.
Experiencing the Women's Services Department at Swedish Medical Center from the patient's perspective has given me a whole new respect for my coworkers and I believe it has truly made me a better family care nurse. Because of my experiences as a nurse and a patient, I know that I can say with confidence, when you deliver your baby at Swedish you will be getting the best care possible!

Movie Review
Finding Vivian Maier
Not rated. One hour, 23 minutes.
Publication date: Apr. 18, 2014
Review by Nick Veronin
Released: (2014)
That's where we are dropped into the new documentary, "Finding Vivian Maier," co-directed by Maloof and Charlie Siskel. But, as the title of the film hints, Maloof's discovery is only half of the story -- and it's only half the fun.
After explaining how he came to find the photographs, and how he subsequently tracked down a storage unit full of her personal affects and more undeveloped negatives (all told, Maloof collected around 100,000 unprocessed images), we are introduced to a number of Maier's former friends, as well as several families that had employed Maier as a nanny in the '50s and '60s. And that's where things begin to get interesting.
Though some of the people Maloof interviews professed to have been great friends with Maier -- and while she often lived under the same roof of the children she cared for and their parents -- no one seems to know much about her. Some say they thought she was French, on account of her accent. Others say they believed she may have been Austrian. And one man, who holds a Ph.D. in linguistics and wrote a dissertation on French vowel sounds, said he was quite positive her accent was an affectation.
Furthermore, some told Maloof that they were aware of Maier's picture-snapping hobby, but then they admit they never really wondered what she did with the photos she took. In one of the many taped conversations Maier recorded, a child asks her who she is, and she says "I'm the mystery woman."
All of the subjects share the same feeling of surprise and regret upon seeing those images, developed by Maloof some 50 years on. Maier had "had a great eye," we are told by photojournalist Mary Ellen Mark, as well as a "sense of humor and a sense of tragedy."
Maier's images are certainly moving. Over the course of her life, Maier captured so many telling, candid moments on the streets of Chicago and elsewhere. And Maloof shows us those moments again and again in his documentary, which tells the story of Maier, as well as his discovery of her and her background in a manner that keeps the viewer on the edge of his seat.
Maloof repeatedly encounters confounding questions -- Who was this woman and where did she come from? Why did she never show her work? What happened to her in the end? -- and he repeatedly answers these questions, often to very cathartic effect.
It is the posing and the answering of these questions that ultimately makes "Finding Vivian Maier" such a satisfying film. Maier's photographs speak for themselves -- thousands upon thousands of beautiful words and crystallized emotions at a time. And yet, while her work certainly needs no explanation, Maier has managed to add something to the picture that was missing. And that is no small accomplishment.

We've heard all of the Super Mario Bros. themes performed by an orchestra. Simon Viklund's blood-pumping update of the Bionic Commando soundtrack is still on my workout playlist. And this version of Tecmo Super Bowl's opening cinematic makes me eat lightning and crap thunder. The great NES chiptunes of the past have all had great instrumental covers by now. Except one.
There is no covering Metroid's Brinstar theme.
The menu music, to be sure, was undeniably brilliant. The pulsating, foreboding opening that resolves to the very personal melody of Samus Aran is as iconic as any in video game music. But in instrumental performance, I'd argue, its power is still there.
The Brinstar theme, which opens your first level in Metroid, is the most perfect piece of music written for a computer synthesizer. I have yet to hear any instrumental cover of it that fully delivered the drama or heroism communicated by the original.
It's beautifully paced with great changes of key throughout, and carries a recognizable bass line. The main instrument is, I guess, horns but could be anything, which probably is why it has to remain a chiptune. There are numerous guitar covers of the song, and all have fallen on their faces. Listen for yourselves in the gallery above.
I'm not sure even a full symphony could make me feel the way I do when the chiptune version of "Brinstar" rolls into its final stanza, building to a crescendo that I always tried to time to a jump when I played the game.
For my money, "Brinstar" is the greatest theme in video games—because only a video game console can properly perform it.

First World Problem of the Day: A widespread shortage of popular toast spread Marmite has sent New Zealanders scurrying to find the last remaining containers in a bout of frenzy nicknamed by the press "Marmageddon."
Sanitarium, the snack's manufacturer, was forced to shut down Marmite production last year after its factory in Christchurch was damaged in the earthquake and deemed unsafe.
Since then, supplies have dwindled, and are expected to officially run out next week. Kiwis are reportedly panic-buying the stuff by the crate-load, and exploiters are turning to online auction sites to sell jars at prices hundreds of times the MSRP.
New Zealand prime minister John Key, concerned over the prospect of emptying out his private stash, angered some when he said the shortage may force him to turn to Vegemite, considered by many to be an "inferior" Australian alternative.
Sanitarium, meanwhile, hopes to have production up and running against by July.

Versailles has been quite in fashion this month. First, after setting its new J'adore campaign in the Galeries des Glaces, Dior released its "Secret Garden – Versailles" video.
Then Chanel showed its latest cruise collection in the gardens last week. This reminds me of my short trip to Versailles to see a fashion exhibition last summer. Papa Ritournelle had dragged me there as a child and I was too young to appreciate his encyclopedic knowledge in history. But reading Stefan Zweig's excellent biography of the legendary queen after seeing Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette made me realize what a fascinating place the Palace is.
Let's now push the gates to start our visit.
It is on this balcony that Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette appeared in front of an angry mob during the French Revolution in October 1789. People were aiming at the queen with their rifles but were soon impressed by her bravery.
King Louis XIV, who reigned on France from 1654 to 1715, is responsible for the magnificence of Versailles. During a traumatic childhood episode, the king's authority was threatened and he had to flee Paris with his family. As an adult, the Sun King decided to have the Palace of Versailles lavishly modernized and adorned with the most beautiful gardens. The noble elite were compelled to inhabit the Palace, consolidating a system of absolute monarchical rule in France. They lived far away from the realities of the country leading up to the French Revolution.
The chapel is one of the key features of the Palace. Marie Antoinette married Louis XVI at this altar at the tender age of 15.
Then, you are certainly already acquainted with the lavish Galerie des Glaces (Hall of Mirrors) and its tall mirrors and heavy chandeliers. The gallery faces the peaceful Grand Canal. A perfect setting for balls and other festivities.
You then enter the King's Private Apartments. The king's awakening and going to bed were ceremonies to which being invited was a great privilege.
Likewise, the queen had her own apartments reserved for her personal use. Near the bed you can see an open door, a secret passage through which Marie Antoinette escaped in October 1789 when an angry mob marched on Versailles.
Imagine Marie Antoinette waking up to this view.
I ended my visit at Angelina which has a tea parlor in the Palace. It was my first time tasting their legendary hot chocolate, and let me tell you, it was divine! A sweet pleasure Marie Antoinette would probably have loved herself.
Have you ever visited Versailles? What are your impressions on the Palace?

An officer shot by a gunman at a Los Angeles Police Department station remained hospitalized in "great spirits" Tuesday as authorities released details about the shooting and the suspect.
The unidentified officer was shot multiple times but survived, even though he wasn't wearing an armored vest at the time, police said.
The gun battle broke out at 8 p.m. Monday in the lobby of the LAPD's West Traffic Division at 4861 Venice Blvd.
Daniel Christopher Yealu, 29, of Los Angeles, allegedly walked in and spoke with an officer before pulling out a semi-automatic pistol and firing, police said.
A meeting of the Olympic Park Neighborhood Council was being held in the building at the time.
Initial reports indicated that the officer was wearing the vest, but investigators later determined that was not the case.
"He (Yealu) went into the police station not only with his Glock ... pistol, but also with extra magazines, so the officers' response clearly saved not only their own lives but the lives of community members,'' LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said. "It is an amazing, an amazing story, that he would be here with us.
"He was struck twice in the shoulder ... and he took a round that would have gone through his femur and maybe his femoral artery ... but that round was stopped by his backup weapon that he had in his pocket."
Beck displayed the officer's backup handgun (pictured) and its holster, both of which were damaged.
The officer and his partner -- a female four-year veteran of the LAPD -- returned fire, wounding the suspect, police said.
He was taken to Cedars-Sinai in critical condition, before being booked into jail, police said.
A search of the suspect's Palms-area home turned up a cache of ammunition and weapons, police said. A bomb squad team on Monday night checked a vehicle believed to be connected to the gunman, officials said.
A rifle and multiple ammunition rounds were found in the vehicle, police said.
"It would be rare in the extreme to be allowed to possess any of these weapons," Beck said. "You would have had to buy them 20, 30 years ago."
LA Superior Court documents show that Yealu was convicted for a vehicle code violation in March 2006.
LAPD Cmdr. Dennis Kato said the gunman had an unspecificied complaint.
Officers believe the suspect parked in a nearby parking lot and walked into the lobby, which is not equipped with a metal detector.
The suspect's semi-automatic pistol was recovered inside the lobby, police said.
Usually, the West Traffic Division doors are locked at night, but the entrance was open because of the community meeting. No one at the meeting was injured, but it rattled nerves.
"I ran behind a lectern, and hid my whole body behind the lectern -- everybody else hit the ground," said Daphne Brogdon, who attended the meeting. "We kept hearing shots. It was terrifying -- a bullet came into our room."
John Jake, another meeting attendee, said he heard four shots in rapid succession and then another six-to-seven shots.
"I told everyone, 'Get down! Get on the ground Get on the ground!'" he said. He feared "some type of Columbine" because there were 25 people in a room with "no way out to get out."
Anya Adams, also at the meeting, provided the photo at left, which shows a bullet hole in the meeting room wall.

New tool can protect you from allergy attacks
Auvi-Q injector gives verbal commands in an emergency
Hundreds of people die from fatal allergy reactions each year, from the smallest things, like peanuts or bug bites.
Things get really bad when you go into anaphylactic shock. Your throat closes up, and you can barely breathe.
That's why several children at the Ladybird Academy in Orlando carry portable medicine injectors, called EpiPens.
"Usually if the allergic reaction is that extreme, they need that right away," says Jennifer Mathews, the director at that child care center.
The EpiPen works quickly, opening up your airway. But some say the directions are complex, with lines and lines of small text, crammed together.
"In the heat of things, probably if your adrenaline is going, it might be a little much to stop and read the directions and then administer that to a child," says Mathews.
That's why Mathews is impressed by a much smaller injector that just hit the market, called the Auvi-Q, which talks to you -- giving you verbal commands, and taking you step-by-step through the process of giving an injection.
"Even if you had never done it before, or if it was someone who had never received any type of training, it's basically fool proof," says Mathews.
And that's important because we found that nearly a though students in Orange and Seminole counties need to carry and injector with them at all times.
"If you don't have this, then you could be in danger," says Dr. Jeff Baylor, a specialist at the Ear, Nose, Throat & Plastic Surgery Associates in Winter Park.
Dr. Baylor now recommends that Auvi-Q to his patients, saying it can give everyone from co-workers, to teachers, to parents the power to save a life in a split-second.
"If you hand this to somebody next to you, they should be able to, just by listening to it and going with the instructions, be able to give you an injection," says Dr. Baylor.
Besides the voice commands, patients like Diane Shurm, who's carried an EpiPen with her for years, loves the Auvi-Q, because of its size.
"It's smaller than a cell phone, you can stick it in your pocket, stick it in your purse," says Shurm. "You don't have to worry about thinking about what you have to do, cause you're already thinking, 'I can't breathe,'"
Keep in mind the injectors only give temporary relief. You need to get to the hospital within a half-hour of injecting yourself, or your throat could close up again.
As for the price -- right now, the Auvi-Q costs around $200. And we're told - because it's so new, most insurance plans only cover some of that cost. But that could change as more people use it.

True Wild Life | Tawny Owl | The tawny owl is a small to medium sized bird of prey that is found across Europe and in parts of Asia but tawny owls are mainly found in woodlands across Eurasia. The tawny owl is the most widespread owl in Europe and is the most of common bird of prey found in the UK. Tawny owls tend to be around 40cm tall with a wingspan of about 100cm, with the tawny owl therefore being a much stockier bird than many other species of owl in the world.
The tawny owl is a nocturnal bird of prey, that takes advantage of their fantastic night vision to quickly catch their prey. Tawny owls prey on small rodents such as voles and mice, and also insects and small reptiles. In the same way as other species of owl, the tawny owl swallows it's prey whole and then regurgitates the bones that it cannot digest within a few hours of eating, in the form of a small pellet. Typically, tawny owls can be found nesting in tree holes during the daylight hours when they are resting. During the breeding season in the early spring, the male tawny owls can be seen hunting during the day as well as at night as they are collecting food to present to their mate.
Tawny owls are known to mate for life although this is not always the case. The female tawny owl lays an average of 3 eggs in the late spring to early summer and incubates her eggs while the male tawny owl brings her food. The tawny owl chicks hatch out of their eggs after an incubation period of around a month. The tawny owl chicks are reared by their parents until they are usually around 2 months old, although it is not uncommon for the tawny owl chicks to be looked after until they are nearly 3 months of age.
Due to the fact that tawny owls are relatively small birds (particularly in comparison to other birds of prey), the tawny owl has a number of natural predators within it's environment. Predators of the tawny owl include dogs, cats and foxes along with birds of prey such as hawks, eagles, buzzards and even larger species of owl. Rats and squirrels are the main predators of the tawny owl's eggs. Tawny owls inhabit dense forest and woodland where they cannot be disturbed resting during the day. During the night, tawny owls can often be heard making noises such as hooting and screeching which they do to communicate with other tawny owls, to mark their territory and to find a mate.
