Content: Navigating news media in the United States
In 2017, ABC was considered the most credible major news organization in the United States, followed closely by CBS and NBC. By comparison, just 18 percent of surveyed U.S. adults thought of Breitbart as a credible news source, and Huffington Post did not fare much better. Credibility is important – there are serious concerns about the accuracy of news stories and a study revealed that most Americans believed that fake news causes a great deal of confusion about basic facts. Accurate reporting as a result of proper research and fact-checking is more in demand than ever, as consumers grow increasingly concerned about the trustworthiness of traditional and modern news sources. So what does this mean for publications like CNN? As one of the leading cable news networks in the U.S., CNN is a powerful news source and its content is consumed by hundreds of thousands of people per day, meaning that the news channel has a certain degree of responsibility. Failure to deliver clear, accurate, unbiased content to consumers can detrimentally affect ratings, and in an environment as competitive as the news media market, the pressure is on to cater to new and existing viewers alike.

In the first quarter of 2021, Twitter’s revenue amounted to over 1036 million U.S. dollars, a 28.3 percent increase compared to the previous quarter. The majority of the social network’s revenues are generated via advertising, followed by data licensing and other revenues. Twitter company information
Twitter ranks among the biggest social networks worldwide. In January 2021, the company reported 353 million monetizable daily active users. In 2020, Twitter’s annual revenue came to 3.72 billion U.S. dollars. However, the company has only been able to report a positive net income in 2018 and 2019, revealing a struggle to monetize users. Twitter marketing and advertising

Level of trust in CNN in the United States as of April 2018
Published by Julia Stoll , Jan 13, 2021
In a survey held in April 2018, around 22 percent of Americans said that they found CNN to be a very untrustworthy source of news and information. Opinions regarding the network’s trustworthiness were highly varied with an additional 24 percent finding it to be trustworthy and 32 percent calling it neither trustworthy or untrustworthy. CNN
CNN is a pay television channel founded in the 1980s, which is currently owned by AT&T. It is one of the most popular news networks in the U.S. and has spawned successful affiliate networks around the world. Nearly half of all Americans report that they watch the network, and the majority find it to be at least somewhat credible as a source for news. The station is viewed by some as more liberal-leaning in terms of political spin meaning that Democrats are much more likely to tune in than their Republican counterparts . Fake news
Coined by Donald Trump during the 2016 election cycle, the term ‘fake news’ is often used by the president and his supporters to describe news stories or even entire news networks which they believe to be spreading false information. Over 50 percent of Americans believe that online news websites regularly report fake news stories, while only nine percent believe that fake news is not reported. It is difficult to determine whether these claims are aimed at true falsities or are primarily encouraged by political affiliation or a lack of understanding about the topic at hand.

Mass shootings in the U.S. 1982-2021
Published by Statista Research Department , Apr 19, 2021
As of April 15, there were four mass shootings in the United States in 2021. This is compared to one mass shooting in 1982, one in 2000, and 12 mass shootings in 2018. School shootings
The United States sees the most school shootings in the world. Some motivations for school shootings included depression, seeking revenge, and bullying. As a result of the large amount of school shootings, gun control has become a central topic in U.S. politics. This widespread problem happens across the United States; however California saw the highest number of K-12 school shootings in the United States since 1970. However, the deadliest school shooting (as of March 2021) was the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007. This tragedy left 33 dead and 17 injured. Mass shooting issues
Mass shootings happen when there are several injuries or deaths from a firearm-related violence.

Mass shootings happen when there are several injuries or deaths from a firearm-related violence. Throughout the last century, mass shootings have become an epidemic in the United States. However, despite the increase in mass shootings and number of casualties, the U.S. government has done little to prevent future shootings from happening. As a result of the lack of cooperation in politics, mass shootings have become the most common political issue that Generation Z is stressed about as of 2018. Furthermore, the right to bear arms is a popular belief in the U.S., although the percentage of households in the United States owning at least one firearm has remained somewhat steady since 1972.

Human trafficking - statistics and facts
Overview
Trafficking
Forced labor
Sexual exploitation
Law enforcement
Content: Although sexual exploitation remains the primary from, the prevalence of forced labor as the criminal’s motivation has grown in the last decade. This in part explains the rising share of males victims in human trafficking according to the United Nations. Their analysis suggests that the vast majority of male trafficking victims are trafficked for the purpose of forced labor, some 66 percent in 2016 . For women, traditional understandings of human trafficking remain the norm with 77.5 percent of female victims being trafficked for sexual exploitation. Whilst forced labor and exploitation of other forms are certainly an issue, the disturbing images of women falling victim to the global sex trade conveyed in films such as The Whistleblower remain as omnipresent as ever. In the United States this is reflected in the dominant share of female victims in calls to the national hotline in conjunction with a prevalence of calls related to sex trafficking over those related to forced labor. On the international level, South and Central Asia was the region with the second-most victims in 2019. Given that 18 percent of victims trafficked internationally were citizens of East Asia and the Pacific, South Asia, and Central Asia in 2014, much of the exploitation is occurring within the continent. As a result, calls are being made for further international focus on combating trafficking in the region rather than dealing with the victims when they are on Europe’s doorstep. However, perhaps lessons can be learned from the increasing presence of legal action on human traffickers in Asia.

Content: With parameter estimation, you take a sample of data (say, 100 out of 1,000) and find a statistic. Let’s say you find the average salary of 100 workers is $20 per hour. You take that statistic ($20 per hour) and infer that the population of 1,000 probably has a salary of about $20. It might not be exactly $20, but it’s probably going to be close, around $19 to $21. The range is called a confidence interval. This interval is part of the results you get from a hypothesis test. The Hypothesis Test. If you’re in business, you might come up with some good ideas about how to improve sales or other metrics. For example, you might think that your average customer is older than average, or that placing certain products at the front of the store can raise the bottom line. These guesses are just shots in the dark without some hard data to back them up.

Content: What a 95 percent confidence level is saying is that if the poll or survey were repeated over and over again, the results would match the results from the actual population 95 percent of the time. What about “+/- 3 percentage points”? The width of the confidence interval tells us more about how certain (or uncertain) we are about the true figure in the population. This width is stated as a plus or minus (in this case,+/- 3) and is called the confidence interval. When the interval and confidence level are put together, you get a spread of percentage. In this case, you would expect the results to be 35 (38-3) to 41 (35+3) percent, 95% of the time. Factors that Affect Confidence Intervals (CI)
Population size: this does not usually affect the CI but can be a factor if you are working with small and known groups of people. Sample Size: the smaller your sample, the less likely it is you can be confident the results reflect the true population parameter.

For example, if 99 percent of voters are for gay marriage, the chances of error are small. However, if 49.9 percent of voters are “for” and 50.1 percent are “against” then the chances of error are bigger. 0% and 100% Confidence Level
A 0% confidence level means you have no faith at all that if you repeated the survey that you would get the same results.

8 Notorious Female Paedophiles
If you think that paedophiles are all old men that hang around toilet blocks, you’d be wrong. In the last few years, there has been a lot of media coverage focused on predator adult women – female paedophiles, mainly in the teaching profession. Female sexual abuse may be scoffed at by some, thinking that young boys are ‘lucky’ to have the opportunity to have sex with their teacher. But that is not the case. Female paedophiles cause just as much shame, humiliation, and long-term damage as male sex offenders. Most parents trust the teachers of their children at school implicitly — particularly the female teachers. Female paedophiles that are teachers not only show favouritism to their victim or intended victim, but cut breaks on homework, and make threats to fail the child if the abuse stops. The idea that women are able to sexually abuse children undermined feelings about the way women were supposed to relate to children. The general opinion was that women have roles primarily as caregivers. In this role, they should also be protectors against so-called predatory men.

The general opinion was that women have roles primarily as caregivers. In this role, they should also be protectors against so-called predatory men. To put women in a sexually aggressive role was disrupting the preconceived notion that a woman is not able physically or morally to commit abuse or rape. Three researchers made a report in 1995, dividing female sex offenders into four main categories. The first of these categories of women paedophiles was the “Predisposed Intergenerational”. This is characterised by a lone female perpetrator who has a history of incest with multiple persons. The second category is that of “Male-Coerced,” a woman who abuses children on behalf of a male partner.

This is a lone woman perpetrator falling in love with a teenager male. Female sex offenders differ in several ways from males, besides these categories.

Women offenders often develop or feed off of a so-called relationship to their victim and they consider this relationship as being love. Women sex offenders also end up seeing themselves and their victims on a peer-to-peer basis. Here is a list of the most notorious female paedophiles in existence to date:

Content: From there, I repeated this (my potatoes were pretty thick). This results in 8 pieces of sliced potato (4 from each potato). Slice lengthwise to create ½ – ¾ inch fries. Sizing is really important. You want even sized fries so that the fries cook at a consistent temperature. Otherwise you will risk burning the smaller, thinner fries. The best way to ensure even sizing is to use a mandolin. I use this mandolin from Amazon and it comes with a blade for fries. If you wind up with smaller thinner fries, separate those and cook them separately. How to Make Air Fryer French Fries
Slice russet potatoes to create fries about 1/2-3/4 inch thick.

Content: Other less common sites are between the second and third metatarsals (second webspace) and between the first or fourth webspace. The thickening or enlargement of the nerve in a neuroma subsequently causes swelling, and progressively may damage the nerve permanently. The condition is the result of nerve compression and irritation which may be caused by injury, irritation, or pressure. Women are more likely to develop this neuroma than men, at a ratio of 5:1. This may be partly attributed to wearing high-heeled, narrow-toed shoes which can compress the second and third interspaces of the forefoot and increase the mechanical stress with walking. In addition, overweight people and individuals who are active in running or sports may also have higher rates of Morton's neuroma. Certain malformations such as flat feet, bunions, or hammertoes may also predispose an individual to this condition. Signs and Symptoms
The symptoms of Morton's neuroma tend to worsen over time, and include the following: Pain while walking - a sharp and burning type of pain may be felt most commonly between the third and fourth toes, after a short time of weight bearing. Rarely the pain may also be dull.

Rarely the pain may also be dull. Initially, the pain becomes apparent and is aggravated when the individual wears tight, narrow or high-heeled shoes, or does activities that put pressure on the foot. Gradually, symptoms may be persistent, lasting for days and weeks. The pain is usually intermittent. Patients may experience two or three attacks in a week and then none for almost a year. Between attacks, there may be no symptoms or physical signs.

Between attacks, there may be no symptoms or physical signs. Recurrences are variable. Parasthesia – tingling or pricking sensation, known as pins-and-needles may be experienced. Numbness is observed in the toes adjacent to the neuroma and appears to occur together with episodes of pain. The symptoms become more intense as the neuroma enlarges and many affected individuals become apprehensive about walking, or even placing their foot on the ground. The physical signs of Morton’s neuroma include the following:

The physical signs of Morton’s neuroma include the following: External signs such as presence of a lump are extremely rare. Firm compression of the metatarsal heads with one hand while applying direct pressure to the dorsal and plantar interspace with the other hand may bring forth radiating neuropathic pain. Positive Mulder’s sign – application of direct pressure between the metatarsal heads will replicate the symptoms, as will compression of the forefoot between the finger and thumb so as to compress the transverse arch of the foot. Passive and active dorsiflexion of the toe may aggravate symptoms. Sensory abnormalities may be observed.

Content: There are several metatarsal pads available OTC (over the counter) which can be placed over the neuroma. Modification of activities - avoid activities which put constant pressure on the neuroma. Weight reduction - significant number of obese patients with foot problems such as flat feet experience considerable improvement of symptoms on losing weight. Use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen may help reduce the pain and inflammation. If symptoms are severe or persistent, the following treatment options may be recommended: Corticosteroid injections – help to reduce pain and inflammation when injected into the area of the neuroma. However, the number of injections is limited due to the risk of adverse side effects including increase in blood pressure and weight gain. Alcohol sclerosing injections - alcohol injections may help to ease pain and reduce the size of Morton's neuromas. Injections are usually administered every seven to ten days, and four to seven injections may be required for maximum benefit. Read More:

In rare instances it can lead to life threatening situations that need immediate medical attention. The commonest symptoms of sulfa drug allergy become evident on your skin a few minutes or a few hours after you take the medication. Appearance of rashes over the skin following the administration of medications commonly indicates that you are allergic to that medication. While it may be of mild variety that subsides after some time, some people may suffer from these rashes for a few days. Other symptoms include: sensitivity to sunlight, vomiting sensations, itchy skin or eyes, swelling of the lips, face or tongue and wheezing. Some of the symptoms that need immediate medical attention include vomiting, diarrhea, breathlessness, fainting, confusions, rapid pulse or rapid heartbeats. These signs and symptoms may indicate life threatening situations that need to be treated at a hospital. In some cases, sulfa drug allergy can affect some of the specific organs in our body.

Content: Architects have been utilizing the inherent advantages of barrel vaults, exposed architecture, archways, segmental arches, curved beams, Tudor arches, and Quonset Huts themselves to enhance the utility and looks of their designs. Who first took advantage of arches in architecture? The first to take full advantage of the arch were the Romans. During this time, builders constructed buildings based more on the vernacular architecture of the era. Roman building design relied on tradition and community knowledge rather than on the skills of one particular specialist. Many structures that were based on vernacular architecture in other cultures were created with materials that could not survive long periods of time, but the Romans created most of their buildings from concrete. They combined mortar with an aggregate like brick to make the concrete that created the buildings that have stood for thousands of years. Why are modern arches typically made of steel? Another building material that’s proven to survive the test of time is steel. SteelMaster’s high-quality, prefabricated buildings have been used by architects to create some of the most magnificent designs in the industry.

SteelMaster’s high-quality, prefabricated buildings have been used by architects to create some of the most magnificent designs in the industry. Modern steel building architecture that uses the classic arch design makes current buildings both beautiful and structurally sound. Further, adding an arch to a building can be a great way to add a unique element to an otherwise traditional design. What’s an example of modern architects using arch-style buildings? The structures that would easily be deemed examples of good architectural design include the Arc House in New York designed by Maziar Behrooz, arch-style steel structures designed by famous architect Michael Graves, and a host of other buildings that have changed the landscape of modern architecture. How do arches meet architects’ design needs?

Title: Why Capital Punishment Doesn’t Deter Crime
Headings: Why Capital Punishment Doesn’t Deter Crime
Why Capital Punishment Doesn’t Deter Crime
Others are Reading
Content: but they were effective. Public executions were the norm to make sure others got the message, but they were also swift. There were no laundry list of appeals that convicted criminals had available to them. No one sat on death row for 20 or 30 years before they had a date with the executioner. This maybe the main reason why capital punishment is not effective because it is not swift, if one will actually live another 20 or 30 years then where’s the concern or likelihood of being executed immediately or seeing an early death, unless they are killed in prison. Some people are not very knowledgeable about the criminal justice system and don’t even realize that a convicted murderer may go on living longer than their victim’s life lasted. Another reason why capital punishment doesn’t deter crime is because capital punishment is not certain. In today’s criminal justice system there are many different variables involved in one actually receiving a death sentence. Different laws in different states may prevent one person from getting the death penalty for a similar murder but in another state a person will receive the death penalty. Also in some states, capital punishment is not legal.

One can kill in one state and the punishment is a life sentence, while another person in another state has the death penalty hanging over their head for the same crime. Another variable that make capital punishment not certain is the court process. Some prosecutors won’t seek the death penalty, evidence is tainted or lost, or the jury has other options available to them when seeking punishment. The severity of capital punishment may or may not deter crime. For some, if they know they will be executed, how doesn’t really matter.

Was that not inhumane? Well, some will say yes it was inhumane but the government shouldn’t be playing God and follow one inhumane crime with another (the execution).

Cray: Negative effects of tariffs
Content: Second, another reason for an increase in prices is that domestic producers will take advantage of the situation and raise their prices. In other words, there will be less competitive pressure to keep their prices low. Historically, domestic producers have opted to increase their profit margins over gaining market shares. In addition, less competition reduces the incentive to innovate and to improve existing products. The automobile industry is an excellent example of these outcomes. Third, when country A raises its trade barriers, like tariffs or quotas, its trading partners will most assuredly retaliate. This will curtail the exports of country A. Exporting industries in country A will see a drop in demand for their products and it will not be long before these industries start laying off people and negating much of the employment gains from protectionist policies. Fourth, if country A raises tariffs on country B’s products, country B will have less income to spend on country A’s exports. Again this will have a negative impact on country A’s employment, and its overall economy. Fifth, tariffs protect inefficient domestic industries at the expense of efficient industries and this situation will create an internal misallocation of resources.

Tips
How long does a can of hearts of palm last once opened? The precise answer depends to a large extent on storage conditions - keep opened hearts of palm refrigerated and tightly covered. To maximize the shelf life of canned hearts of palm after opening, refrigerate in covered glass or plastic container. How long do opened canned hearts of palm last in the refrigerator? Canned hearts of palm that have been continuously refrigerated will keep for about 3 to 4 days. Are canned hearts of palm safe to use after the "expiration" date on the package? Yes, provided they have been stored properly, the can or package is undamaged, and there are no signs of spoilage (see below) - commercially canned hearts of palm will typically carry a "Best By," "Best if Used By," "Best Before", or "Best When Used By" date but this is not a safety date, it is the manufacturer's estimate of how long the hearts of palm will remain at peak quality. To further extend the shelf life of opened canned hearts of palm, freeze them: to freeze canned hearts of palm, place inside covered airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags.

Content: Canned hearts of palm that have been continuously refrigerated will keep for about 3 to 4 days. Are canned hearts of palm safe to use after the "expiration" date on the package? Yes, provided they have been stored properly, the can or package is undamaged, and there are no signs of spoilage (see below) - commercially canned hearts of palm will typically carry a "Best By," "Best if Used By," "Best Before", or "Best When Used By" date but this is not a safety date, it is the manufacturer's estimate of how long the hearts of palm will remain at peak quality. To further extend the shelf life of opened canned hearts of palm, freeze them: to freeze canned hearts of palm, place inside covered airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags. How long do canned hearts of palm last in the freezer? Properly stored, they will maintain best quality for about 2 months, but will remain safe beyond that time. The freezer time shown is for best quality only - hearts of palm that have been kept constantly frozen at 0°F will keep safe indefinitely. How long do canned hearts of palm last after being frozen and thawed? Hearts of palm that have been defrosted in the fridge can be kept for an additional 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator before using;

How can you tell if opened canned hearts of palm are bad or spoiled? The best way is to smell and look at the hearts of palm: if the hearts of palm develop an off odor, flavor or appearance, or if mold appears, they should be discarded. Discard all hearts of palm from cans or packages that are leaking, rusting, bulging or severely dented.

Title: Landlord Obligations for Habitable Premises - The Basic California Law | Stimmel Law

Landlord Obligations for Habitable Premises - The Basic California Law
The Basic Law:
The Statute:
[CA Civil Code Sec. 1941.2]
Legal Remedies Available for Tenant:
Landlord Liability for Unsafe Conditions:
Conclusion:
Article Categories
Content: At the same time, landlords are not guarantors of the safety of their tenants or employees and if the landlord takes reasonable steps to provide a safe locale, liability will not be imposed for harm to tenants caused by third parties or unforeseen circumstances. Some case law illustrates the law. In Ann M. v. Pacific Plaza Shopping Center (1993), an employee sued a shopping center landlord after she was raped inside a tenant’s store. The Supreme Court ruled that the landlord was not liable for negligence, and thereby established the importance of the landlord’s ability to foresee that a criminal act may occur in the premises. The Court ruled that the landlord is only obligated to hire security guards for a shopping center if he has reasonable foresight that a crime may occur, based on the knowledge of prior similar acts of crime in the premises. Given that the landlord had recorded all prior criminal events and noticed no indication of similar events having taken place in the past, the Court ruled that the landlord could not foresee a ‘violent criminal assault’, and therefore, was not obligated to hire security guards. IIn Medina v. Hillshore Partners (1995), the mother of a man who was killed by a gang near an apartment complex sued the landlord for negligence. The Court ruled that the landlord had no duty to the victim because the act occurred off the premises. Even though the plaintiff argued that the landlord’s complex served as headquarters for the gang members and the landlord had already received complaints about the gang, the Court held that premises liability can be imposed on a landlord only when an act of crime occurs on the premises itself and not on an adjacent area. In Debra S. Rosenbaum v. Security Bank Corporation (1996), a tenant was mugged on the street in front of her apartment and suffered several injuries.

Content: Why does the U.S. have such a large trade deficit with China? Prices of consumer goods in the United States have been remarkably low and stable for decades. One of the most important reasons for this, besides sound monetary policies conducted by the Fed, is international trade with developing countries, such as China. Each year, China sells goods to us at very low prices. For example, Chinese workers need to use millions of T-shirts to exchange for one Boeing 737-800 airplane from us (at about $5 per T-shirt). More than that, they even lend goods to us by keeping our paper money for a long time. The result is a huge trade deficit with China: For every dollar Americans spend on Chinese goods, Chinese spend 30 or fewer cents on American goods. China currently holds a total of $3.7 trillion in foreign reserves, mostly in U.S. dollars or U.S. government bonds. This means that U.S. consumers have been enjoying huge quantities of low-cost goods by borrowing cheaply from China at negative real interest rates.

This means that U.S. consumers have been enjoying huge quantities of low-cost goods by borrowing cheaply from China at negative real interest rates. The question is why Chinese people are willing to lend goods to us when they are still struggling with very low per capita income and consumption levels. One answer from economic theory is that they have a strong need to save for a rainy day. At their current stage of economic development, Chinese workers do not have a well-developed financial market and social safety net, both of which would reduce their need to save and would allow them to borrow when needed. Hence, even though the Chinese economy is growing at a faster rate than the U.S. economy, the rising uncertainty for each individual in both spending needs (such as the rising costs in health care, education and housing) and income prospects (such as unemployment risk) induces them to save excessively to provide the self-insurance that is not available to them from the market. Therefore, for every dollar a Chinese worker makes in trading with the U.S., he or she feels the need to save at least a quarter.

Therefore, for every dollar a Chinese worker makes in trading with the U.S., he or she feels the need to save at least a quarter. The remaining part of the dollar is not even spent entirely on U.S. goods because Chinese workers (firms) also need dollars to buy raw materials from other countries to produce consumption goods, as China is a resource-poor country. This implies that the total imports of China from us will be substantially less than its total exports to us, leading to the U.S.-China trade imbalance. Additional Resources

Content: The Importance of Diversity and Inclusion
Diversity and most of all inclusion have taken center stage in the last year, as global events have once again raised crucial matters like human rights, racial hate, and inequality in public forums and media. Discussions, protests, and awareness actions have been developing around the world, as a collective call to the end of racism and pushing for an inclusive society. These are core matters for younger demographics such as Generation Z and thus have heavy online visibility. Furthermore, social movements that impulse body and image positivity continue to gain traction and influence over society, and all stages life unfold in are called to be inclusive, and reflect it visually too. Big brands are embracing this trend, particularly in fashion, sports, and beauty segments. Another rising visual topic is that of modern senior living: baby boomers have reached elderly age and, just like they did when they hit adulthood, they are redefining what senior life looks like. Finally, non-binary identities have taken to the front stage socially, with genderfluid persons claiming and achieving more visibility. In this context, a powerful and honest visual representation of diversity is a must in business images in particular. Feminine stock photography also has now a strong focus on a double minority:

Content: Nevertheless I know I am hypocrite as never in my life could I give somone to the lethal doses, or now I think I wouldn’t be able to. There are many people who are deadly against euthanasia, since it’s considered to be a murder. What does the word ‘euthanasia’ mean? It is a practice of ending somebody’s life when they are terminally ill in order to ease their pain and shorten their suffering. And it show the difference between euthanasia and murder. As I mentioned above, religions forbid euthanasia. For instance, Islam regards taking a life is a crime, regardless the reason of it, even suicide is forbidden and punished. Therefore you will never hear of ballots related to euthanasia in Muslim countries, such as Pakistan, Saudi Arabia or Indonesia. But we don’t need to go so far, as the Roman Catholic Church forbids euthanasia, as well. In the United States there have been debates and campaigns about euthanasia for a century, in having started in the early of 1930s.

Euthanasia itself is still illegal across the whole United States, but instead people who are terminally ill and have only 6 months to live can choose assisted dying. What’s the difference then? Well, when it comes to assisted dying, the person who wants to end his life, gets some assistance, but actually he ends his life with his own hand. While during euthanasia, another person helps the dying one to pass away. Either the former, or the latter – we do hope no-one outside has to face with these acts.

The Bottom Line
Content: Nitrates are normally present in your urine, as they are just a metabolite of food that you regularly consume. Some bacteria produce an enzyme that changes urinary nitrates to nitrites (that’s why the presence of nitrites in the urine is an indirect indication of urinary tract infection). At a low pH (acidic urine), nitrite is converted to a variety of nitrogen oxides (or “NO” on the chart of elements) that are toxic to bacteria. In a lab experiment, ascorbic acid greatly increases the level of production of those nitrogen oxides (NO) from nitrite having a bacteriostatic effect in the urine comparable to antibiotics (trimethoprim, nitrofurantoin) tested in this model. So the pathogenic bacteria are killed with NO, and the more NO is released rapidly, the better the antibacterial effects. Therefore, ascorbic acid is merely a catalyst rather than an active ingredient. As the study suggests: “ The growth of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus saprophyticus was markedly reduced by the addition of nitrite to acidified urine. This inhibition was enhanced by ascorbic acid. In conclusion, we show that the growth of three common urinary pathogens is markedly inhibited in mildly acidified urine when nitrite is present.”

Still, does it mean that ascorbic acid is as effective as antibiotics? Or maybe you could ditch your prescription altogether and use vitamin C instead to treat a UTI? Unfortunately, lab experiments are often different than real life. As the researchers point out, when attempting to treat a UTI with vitamin C, several factors are key to success: timing, type of the bacteria, and urine pH management.

Content: Escherichia coli (or E. coli)–cause most uncomplicated cystitis and pyelonephritis cases. Klebsiella pneumonia–notorious for causing bloodstream infections. Pseudomonas aeruginosa–cause hospital-acquired UTIs that also could lead to dangerous sepsis. A subgroup of gram-negative bacteria that produce extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) enzymes deserves special mention. This enzyme allows the bacteria to resist most beta-lactam antibiotics, including penicillins, cephalosporins, and the monobactam aztreonam. Unfortunately, infections with ESBL-producing organisms are very hard to treat. The most common ESBL-producing bacteria are some strains of E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Patients in hospitals or nursing home settings are at an increased risk to contract an ESBL-producing bacteria. Some examples of gram-positive bacteria causing UTI are: Staphylococcus saprophyticus (S. saprophyticus)

Who gets what bacteria? When examining UTI bacteria types, we need to keep in mind that different patients (kids, young women, pregnant females, males, or the elderly) are unequally susceptible to different bacteria types. Also, depending on how you acquired your UTI (for example due to bladder stones or a catheter in a hospital setting) will determine which bacteria are most likely to be at fault. Moreover, in certain settings, the urinary tract can be infected by multiple bugs at the same time — referred to as “polymicrobial infection” in the medical world. Moreover, some bacteria might colonize a bladder without even causing a UTI. E. coli UTI
The commonest bacteria isolated from the urinary tract of 75%- 80% of young, sexually active, non-pregnant women with an uncomplicated UTI are E. coli bacteria.

The Pitfalls of Urine Dipstick
The Drawbacks of Urine Culture
Content: Unfortunately, P. aeruginosa UTIs are notoriously hard to treat. Not only does this bacterium possess a variety of virulent mechanisms helping it to spread and withstand antibiotics, but it also quickly forms biofilms on the surface of catheters further avoiding antibiotic attacks. Klebsiella pneumoniae
Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) is particularly known to cause UTI and sepsis in newborns as well as hospital-acquired urinary tract infections in adults. This gram-negative bacterium is also notorious for developing antibiotic resistance, including to carbapenem antibiotics. K. pneumoniae bacteria naturally reside in humans, but the rate at which these bacteria are found depends on a variety of factors. For example, carrier rates of K. pneumoniae in the community are significantly higher in certain parts of the world, as well as in a hospital setting. Specifically, patients of Asian ethnicity have an increased risk for intestinal colonization with this bacterium. Some studies estimate stool carrier rates of K. pneumoniae in healthy adults range from 19% in Japan to 88% in Malaysia. Staphylococcus saprophyticus
Staphylococcus saprophyticus (or S. saprophyticus) cause 10-15% of UTI cases and are gram-positive bacteria. About 40% of S. saprophyticus UTIs occur in young, sexually-active women.

Staphylococcus saprophyticus (or S. saprophyticus) cause 10-15% of UTI cases and are gram-positive bacteria. About 40% of S. saprophyticus UTIs occur in young, sexually-active women. S. saprophyticus shares many clinical features of urinary tract infection caused by Escherichia coli, but this bacteria have some very unusual characteristics. For example, they are normally found in the urinary tract of predominantly girls and young women during late summer and early fall seasons. Post-menopausal women are rarely diagnosed with a UTI caused by this bacterium, and this bacteria decreases its appearance in winter and spring. While S. saprophyticus infection is rare in males, it could affect elderly or hospitalized men. On the bright side, S. saprophyticus UTI is less likely to cause bacteremia (blood infection) and is generally susceptible to most antibiotics, including penicillin.

Content: S. saprophyticus shares many clinical features of urinary tract infection caused by Escherichia coli, but this bacteria have some very unusual characteristics. For example, they are normally found in the urinary tract of predominantly girls and young women during late summer and early fall seasons. Post-menopausal women are rarely diagnosed with a UTI caused by this bacterium, and this bacteria decreases its appearance in winter and spring. While S. saprophyticus infection is rare in males, it could affect elderly or hospitalized men. On the bright side, S. saprophyticus UTI is less likely to cause bacteremia (blood infection) and is generally susceptible to most antibiotics, including penicillin. Staphylococcus aureus
Unlike S. saprophyticus, S. aureus UTI usually affects individuals with a urinary catheter and pregnant women. In addition, the majority of S. aureus superstrains are resistant to Methicillin. Enterococci
Enterococci are Gram-positive, lactic acid bacteria that can survive and grow with or without oxygen as well as bear temperatures ranging from 10–45°C and pH of 4.6 to 9. A urinary catheter is a major risk factor with enterococci accounting for about 15 to 30% of CAUTIs. Enterococci are also the third leading cause of UTIs acquired in hospital settings.

A urinary catheter is a major risk factor with enterococci accounting for about 15 to 30% of CAUTIs. Enterococci are also the third leading cause of UTIs acquired in hospital settings. The poor immunity and incomplete bladder emptying in diabetics also increase the risk for enterococcal UTIs. These bacteria can spread to the bloodstream as well as contribute to prostate inflammation in about 10% of diabetic men. Unfortunately, Enterococcal superstrains are becoming more and more resistant to antibiotics. In particular, E. faecalis forms resilient biofilms, making it notoriously difficult for the antibiotics to penetrate these films and kill the superbug. Urinary Tract Infection caused by Group B Streptococcus
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a Gram-positive chain-forming bacterium that commonly dwells in the lower gut and female reproductive tract without causing any symptoms.

Types of Figurative Language

Figurative Language Definition
Language which conveys meanings that are interpreted imaginatively rather than literally
How is Figurative Language Used? Figurative language is used in both literature and poetry to create layers of meaning which the reader accesses through the senses, symbolism, and sound devices. Figurative language brings the reader deeper into the theme of the work, without the author having to explicitly lay out the theme for the reader. It is a way for the reader to enter the words with their minds and emotions, rather than simply comprehending a story or poem. Figurative language encourages the reader to make connections with the characters, the plot, and the deeper message of a work which creates a more memorable experience for the reader. There are several types of figurative language, but the most common are: Simile
Metaphor
Personification
Symbolism
Hyperbole
Imagery
Oxymoron
Paradox
Onomatopoeia
Apostrophe
In addition, allusions and irony are also common types of figurative language. Check out our article on allusions, and see our article on the three types of irony. Create a Storyboard*

The Main Types of Figurative Language
Simile
A simile is a comparison between two unlike things using the words “like” or “as”. It is a way to draw a connection between two ideas or things and create a deeper level of meaning for the reader.

Content: No. This my hand will rather / The multitudinous seas incarnadine, marking the green one red.” In this scene, not even the oceans can wash Macbeth’s hands of King Duncan’s blood. Imagery
Imagery accesses all of the reader’s senses in order to create powerful mental experiences of characters and events, as well as emotional responses to those events. Imagery uses sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell descriptions to cue a reader in on mood, tone, and theme. Imagery is often created by other kinds of figurative language, including metaphors, similes, onomatopoeia, symbolism, and personification. In the novel Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, Dickens paints a grim picture of the fateful morning when Pip sets out to deliver the food and file to the convict, setting the dreary mood for the reader to highlight Pip’s fear and isolation in this ordeal. Pip recalls, “It was a rimy morning, and very damp. I had seen the damp lying on the outside of my little window, as if some goblin had been crying there all night, and using the window for a pocket-handkerchief. Now, I saw the damp lying on the bare hedges and spare grass, like a coarser sort of spiders’ webs:

Title: Illustrating Themes in 1984 by George Orwell
Headings: Themes, Symbols, and Motifs in
1984
Themes, Symbols, and Motifs in 1984
Content: When there is a common enemy, there is camaraderie. In addition, rather than focusing on emotions like love and tranquility, the government fires people up through exercises such as Two Minutes Hate, and Hate Week. While there is no resolution to this absolutist tyranny in the novel, it does lay out the dangers of allowing a government, political party, or dictator gain too much control over citizens’ privacy and lives. Propaganda
The media reports in Oceania are all propaganda, because they are all controlled by the government. For example, Winston is sent a few short missives that come down a mysterious pneumatic tube. The first reads “times 17.3.84 bb speech malreported africa rectify.” According to Winston, his job is to go back into old news items and change them to make them true, even if they were not. In the first message, it appears that on March 17th, Big Brother had predicted a Eurasian offensive to be launched in North Africa; in reality, the offensive had been launched in South India instead. Winston must change, or “rectify” this discrepancy so that Big Brother is never incorrect.

Are there any bourbons that are 100% corn? Call me crazy, but let's suppose you had a few whiskeys that were each 100% of one of the major mash grains (Corn, Wheat, Rye, Barley, etc.). After they have been similiarly aged, could you mix them to simulate different mash bills? By the way, does anyone have a consolidated list of mash bills of many bourbons?

Supposedly, Old Charter is about 80 percent corn and is the highest in corn content. The only mono-grain whiskey made in America that I know of is Old Potrero, which is 100 percent malted rye. Link to post

After they have been similiarly aged, could you mix them to simulate different mash bills? I really don't think so, I could cook all of the ingredients in a nice Marinara sauce seperately and toss them with spaghetti but I seriously doubt it would taste good. I believe the mash would suffer here. IIRC: malting corn is not too easy, and the mash is cooked at different temps and times as the grains are added (correct me if I'm wrong here). These changes in temp would also affect the other grains that are already in the mash, while you might be able to cook the grains that go in first useing the same routine, it would be difficult to introduce the later grains to a mash already full the slurry that results from the earlier ones. The yeasts might not be as happy to live in a mash of just one grain either, as one grain may release more usable sugars than another. This would cause one batch to ferment slowly practially creating an aged mash while another might ferment extremely quickly and to too high an ABV, creating more problems. We only wish it was this easy to mingle a whiskey to match our own preferences.

Ah, a common misperception that even many in the industry are confused about. Bourbon can consist of 100% corn, with the only parameter being that it must contain at least 51%. There is no upper limit. Some people will tell you that after 80% corn, the resulting spirit is refered to as "Corn Whiskey." Not so. Now, recall some basic chemistry. When yeast is added to the mash, what does it convert into alcohol?

When yeast is added to the mash, what does it convert into alcohol? That is right, sugar. As we know corn is sweet. It is sweet because we have the ability to convert the starches into sugar. Yeast can not do this, hence the primary purpose of malted barley; provide the enzymes that convert starch to sugar so the yeast has something to act upon.

Content: Well, the former science teacher in me prompts me to add some clarification (I hope). Sweet corn is immature corn that has sugars in it, but that isn't used in bourbon, after all. Mature, dry corn is not sweet - it has almost no sugar. As the grain matured, it was polymerized into starch (the sugar molecules are strung together in long, branching chains called starch). This is how grains store their food reserves for their baby plants to use during sprouting. If they were stored as sugars, every mold, yeast and bacteria would glom onto them. But most of these microbes, as you say, can't digest starch. So when the baby plant sprouts, it produces enzymes that cleave off sugar molecules slowly at just the rate it can use them over a period of days until the baby plant produces leaves and can photosynthesize its own sugars. Brewers and distillers speed up the process by heating the sprouted grains (called malt) to about 150F, which converts the starches to sugars in less than an hour, as opposed to days. We do have enzymes in our saliva that convert starch into sugar, but it is not a fast process.

Content: If you were to chew some cornmeal, it would not taste sweet until you had masticated it for a while. This is one way that the traditional Incan chicha was made - by chewing corn and spitting it into a pot to ferment. I used to have my science students demonstrate this by chewing a soda cracker and noting how it became progressively sweeter. ( Seventh graders love this - they stick their tongues out with that yucky stuff on it -eeew, gross!) This process really only starts the process of digesting starches - most of it is done in the digestive tract, well away from our ability to taste the sugars that are produced. Traditional "corn squeezins'" was made by sprouting, or malting, some or all of the corn. One way was to put a bunch of corn into a burlap sack, tie it up, and stick it into a creek for a few days. An experienced distiller would know when the corn had sprouted to the point of having maximum enzymes without sprouting too far and using up the starches. They wouldn't bother drying this

Cecil replies: Because hookers are a nuisance, that’s why. Always around when you don’t want them, and never there when you do. Prostitution isn’t a felony. In most U.S. jurisdictions it’s a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine and a short stretch in jail. In parts of Nevada, it isn’t even that — prostitution is legal, though regulated. Fine, you say. But why should prostitution be considered any kind of crime?

In parts of Nevada, it isn’t even that — prostitution is legal, though regulated. Fine, you say. But why should prostitution be considered any kind of crime? The victims aren’t complaining. Why should the rest of us care? The usual explanation is that criminalization of prostitution is a product of the moralizing impulse in American politics. As with other victimless crimes such as gambling and drug use, our antiprostitution laws largely date from the Progressive era around the turn of the 20th century. This period also produced reforms such as the pure food and drugs laws and antitrust regulation.

Officially, that’s been the aim ever since. But let’s face it. Nobody really expects prostitution to go away, and it’s hard to believe anyone ever did.

Title: Why is prostitution illegal? - The Straight Dope
Headings: Why is prostitution illegal?
Why is prostitution illegal?
Content: Before 1900 most legislation dealing with prostitution sought merely to control it. After World War I, usually considered the end of the Progressive era, the goal was to stamp it out. Officially, that’s been the aim ever since. But let’s face it. Nobody really expects prostitution to go away, and it’s hard to believe anyone ever did. They just don’t want it in their back yards. From time to time a few people make noises about changing U.S. prostitution laws. The best known is Margo St. James, whose hookers’-rights organization, COYOTE (Call Off Your Old Tired Ethics), surfaced in 1973. She complained that prostitution laws gave the cops an excuse to harass women — prosecution of their male customers was far less frequent. St. James and her camp attracted their share of feminist allies, who felt that a woman’s right to control her body included the right to rent it out.

This line of thinking has succeeded to the point where much sociological and AIDS literature has replaced the pejorative prostitute with the more PC sex worker. Other feminists, it should be said, consider prostitution a form of “female sexual slavery,” to cite the title of one well-known book. One way or another women are coerced into prostitution, the argument goes — sometimes physically, often psychologically, and if nothing else out of economic necessity. But that seems to victimize prostitutes more than the reality warrants. Suffice it to say studies of prostitution have generally found that women who become prostitutes do so voluntarily, often to support a drug habit.

It’s not clear to what extent the lot of prostitutes in the U.S. differs from that of their counterparts in countries that have a supposedly more enlightened attitude. Germany reportedly has taken the regulatory approach, in which prostitutes register with the police, obtain licenses to work in specified houses or areas, submit to VD checks, and so on. Britain has followed a third course, somewhat confusingly known as abolition. What was abolished was not prostitution but prostitution laws, after a fashion. Prostitution as such is legal in the UK.

Why is prostitution illegal?
Content: What’s not legal are various nuisances associated with prostitution such as soliciting on street corners, living off “immoral earnings,” and keeping a brothel. In short, prostitution is legal in theory, illegal in practice. English prostitutes complain of police harassment just as American ones do, and receive similar punishments. So: different legal theories, same result. That’s the thing about prostitution, see. Whatever may be said for the rights of prostitutes in the abstract, streetwalkers don’t do much for a neighborhood’s property values. Sure, in these liberated times, we all have healthy attitudes about sex, right? But even among defenders of prostitutes’ rights, the fundamental reaction to the business itself remains: ick.

Content: By the time it reaches the United Kingdom, purity is 60 percent, and it drops further to about 30 percent at the retail level, according to the U.N. World Drug Report 2012. Cartel Behavior
There has been a thriving two-way flow of contraband goods across the U.S.-Mexico border since its inception. Mexican organized crime groups have been involved in the smuggling of marijuana to the U.S. market since the U.S. government began to restrict marijuana in the early 1900s, and Mexican organized criminals profited handsomely during the Prohibition era in the United States. As U.S. demand for illicit drugs increased in the second half of the 20th century, Mexican organizations branched out to become involved in smuggling other types of drugs, including pharmaceuticals and black tar heroin; poppy cultivation was also introduced to Mexico in the 1930s. These Mexican organized crime syndicates, such as the Guadalajara cartel , also began to traffic cocaine into the United States in the late 1970s, but for many years the Mexican organizations worked as junior partners for the powerful Colombian cartels in Medellin and Cali. Mexico was a secondary route for cocaine compared to the primary route through the Caribbean. As a result, the Colombians pocketed the lion's share of the profit made on cocaine trafficked through Mexico and the Mexicans received a fee on each kilogram they transported. ( However, they did not assume any of the risk of losing shipments between South America and Mexico.) In the late 1970s and the 1980s — the early phase of Mexican involvement in the cocaine trade — Central American middlemen such as Juan Matta-Ballesteros were also heavily involved in the flow of cocaine through Mexico.

They moved cocaine from South America to Mexico, becoming wealthy and powerful as a result of the profits they made. As U.S. interdiction efforts, aided by improvements in aerial and maritime surveillance, curtailed much of the Caribbean cocaine flow in the 1980s and 1990s, and as the Colombian and U.S. governments dismantled the Colombian cartels, the land routes through Central America and Mexico became more important to the flow of cocaine. It is far more difficult to spot and seize contraband moving across the busy U.S.-Mexico border than it is to spot contraband flowing across the Caribbean. This increase in the importance of Mexico allowed the Mexican cartels to gain leverage in negotiations with their Central American and Colombian partners and to secure a larger share of the profit. Indeed, by the mid-1990s the increasing importance of Mexican organizations to the flow of cocaine to the United States allowed the Mexican cartels to become the senior partners in the business relationship.

In a quest for an even larger portion of the cocaine profit chain, the Mexican cartels have increased their activities in Central and South America over the last two decades. The Mexicans have cut out many of the middlemen in Central America who used to transport cocaine from South America to Mexico and sell it to the Mexican cartels. Their efforts to consolidate their control over Central American smuggling routes continue today. This move meant that the Mexican cartels assumed responsibility for the losses incurred by transporting cocaine from South America to Mexico, but it also permitted them to reap an increasing portion of the profit pool.

The future of Russia's ability to remain a global energy supplier and the strength the Russian energy sector gives the Kremlin are increasingly in question. After a decade of robust energy exports and revenues, Russia is cutting natural gas prices to Europe while revenue projections for its energy behemoth, Gazprom, are declining starting this year. Russia holds the world's largest proven reserves of natural gas and continually alternates with Saudi Arabia as the top oil producer.

The future of Russia's ability to remain a global energy supplier and the strength the Russian energy sector gives the Kremlin are increasingly in question. After a decade of robust energy exports and revenues, Russia is cutting natural gas prices to Europe while revenue projections for its energy behemoth, Gazprom, are declining starting this year. Russia holds the world's largest proven reserves of natural gas and continually alternates with Saudi Arabia as the top oil producer. The country supplies a third of Europe's oil and natural gas and is starting to export more to the energy-hungry East Asian markets. The energy sector is far more than a commercial asset for Moscow; it has been one of the pillars of Russia's stabilization and increasing strength for more than a century. The Kremlin has designated energy security as the primary issue for Russia's national security, especially since recent changes in global and domestic trends have cast doubts on the energy sector's continuing strength. Throughout Russian history, the country's energy sector periodically has strengthened and weakened.

Content: Beyond export revenues, the energy sector has contributed to the creation of a domestically stable and industrialized state. Russia's domestic energy consumption is very high due to extremely cold weather for most of the year, but despite inefficiencies within the energy sector and the cost of producing energy, the country's domestic reserves have enabled Moscow to provide its citizens and the industries that employ them with low energy prices. The energy sector also contributes to Russia's ability to expand its influence to its immediate neighbors. Moscow's use of energy as leverage in the buffer states differs from country to country and ranges from controlling regional energy production (as it previously did in the Azerbaijani and Kazakh oil fields) to subsidizing cheap energy supplies to the countries and controlling the energy transport infrastructure. Russia has used similar strategies to shape relationships beyond the former Soviet states. For instance, Russia is one of Europe's two main energy suppliers and is the only European supplier with large reserves of oil and natural gas and historically cheap prices. Russia's physical connectivity with Europe and ability to undercut any competitor have served as the basis of many of Moscow's relationships in Europe. Evolution of Russian Energy Strategies
Energy's usefulness as a means of achieving Russia's three main imperatives has altered over time because Russia has had to change its strategies depending on shifts in domestic or international circumstances. Moscow's strength lies in its flexibility in managing its energy sector. The importance of Russian energy was established in the late 1800s, when the monarchy saw great potential for the Russian Empire if it could develop this sector on a large scale.
