Content: Dry-aging spoils the surface of beef, and can sometimes cause (non-toxic) mold to develop on the surface. This is why butchers never dry-age individual steaks. Instead, they dry-age large, primal cuts, usually with as much fat still on the steak as possible. This way, they lose far less product to trimming. After all spoiled meat and exterior fat has been trimmed, cuts are broken down into individual steaks for sale or consumption. Try Dry-Aged Tomahawk Steaks.

Wet-Aging vs. Dry-Aging and How to Dry-Age Beef at Home
By Steven Raichlen March 15, 2019
If you’ve ever tasted a thick prime steak dry-aged 4 to 6 weeks (and reverse seared ), you’ve come pretty close to heaven on earth. One of the best dry-aged beef purveyors we know is Chicago Steak Company. We asked Chicago Steak CEO Matt Crowley to share his thoughts on the difference between dry- and wet-aged beef and how to dry-age beef at home. If you’ve bought a steak from a grocery store, there’s a good chance you’ve purchased a wet-aged steak. Unlike dry-aging, which is centuries old, wet-aging is a relatively new technique, invented in the 1950s. Wet-aging involves vacuum sealing steaks—the same method used to prevent freezer burn when freezing meat. Though some people prefer wet-aged steaks, most Americans prefer dry-aged beef. Without oxygen, the chemical changes that need to occur for dry-aged taste just aren’t possible. While a small amount of enzymatic changes can happen in wet-aged beef, the overall change is minimal. This leaves wet-aged steaks with a more metallic, “bloody” taste, while dry-aged steaks have richer, fuller-bodied, and more complex umami flavors. | http://barbecuebible.com/2016/03/15/how-to-dry-age-beef-at-home/ |

This leaves wet-aged steaks with a more metallic, “bloody” taste, while dry-aged steaks have richer, fuller-bodied, and more complex umami flavors. Wet-aging is popular with many grocery stores because it is a far less expensive process than dry-aging. While dry-aging typically takes 4-6 weeks, requires specialized aging lockers, and causes product loss due to trimming and evaporation, wet-aging takes less time, less equipment, and causes no loss of product. As a result, wet-aged beef is easier to find and cheaper to buy. Misconceptions About Dry Aging
While it’s possible to dry-age beef at home, it is far more difficult and involved than some guides (including several online) would lead you to believe. One popular misconception is that you can dry-age steaks by lining them with cheesecloth or paper towel, then leaving them in your fridge for four to seven days. | http://barbecuebible.com/2016/03/15/how-to-dry-age-beef-at-home/ |

One popular misconception is that you can dry-age steaks by lining them with cheesecloth or paper towel, then leaving them in your fridge for four to seven days. While this method dehydrates steaks (which can heighten flavor intensity), it does not properly age them. Beef needs to be aged for at least 14 days for enzymes to properly tenderize fibers, and needs to be aged for at least 21 days for complex flavors to develop. One week in a fridge—cheesecloth or no cheesecloth—won’t make that happen. Grilled Eggs with Prosciutto and Parmesan

Instead, dry-aging takes dedicated equipment, time, and large, primal cuts. What You Need to Dry-Age Beef
If you want to dry-age beef at home, you’ll need to start out with a large cut of top-grade, USDA Prime beef. | http://barbecuebible.com/2016/03/15/how-to-dry-age-beef-at-home/ |

Content: Next, put a wire rack on top of a tray. The tray is to collect any drippings. Make sure the bottom of the rack is elevated so that airflow is possible on all sides of the beef. Set your cut of beef on top of the wire rack. Then, slide the tray, rack, and beef into the fridge and wait. Wait 2-4 weeks if you’re only looking for added tenderness, 4-6 weeks for that famous dry-aged taste, and 6-8 (or more) weeks if you’re looking to develop some seriously funky aromas and flavors. While it is okay to check on your beef occasionally, remember that every time you open your fridge’s door you throw off moisture levels and invite unwanted odors in. After you have aged your cut for your preferred length of time, remove it from the fridge. At this point, the exterior will be dry, deep-red or purple/brown, and may have developed mold. Trim away any of this meat, as well as any exterior fat. | http://barbecuebible.com/2016/03/15/how-to-dry-age-beef-at-home/ |

Trim away any of this meat, as well as any exterior fat. Finally, cut the beef into individual steaks, according to your tastes. We recommend between 1¼ to 2 inches thickness, though some grillers prefer steaks as thick as 3 inches or more. Remember: when aging at home, it can be hard to adjust and control things like humidity, airflow, and temperature without professional equipment. Because of this, dry-aging at home is generally less precise than professional dry-aging. | http://barbecuebible.com/2016/03/15/how-to-dry-age-beef-at-home/ |

I just want to buy a few steaks and keep them fresh for about a week before I grill them. Nothing special. How long will meat stay fresh in the refrigerator compartment? see more

I don't have a fan that works inside a fridge, so I'll choose the paper towel method. A butcher taught me this-wrap in good quality paper towels and change them every day. Place the steak in the coldest part of the fridge wrapped in the paper towels over a plate suspended by chopsticks. Done. Also, Thank you for your helpful videos Steven, they are worth checking out. see more

We use the Umai Dry aging system for dry aging steaks for 40 days (a whole boneless Rib Roast cut into steaks after trimming). It's incredibly easy and gives fantastic results. | http://barbecuebible.com/2016/03/15/how-to-dry-age-beef-at-home/ |

I just chuck my steak on the grill a full 4 weeks prior to actually grilling. No fridge, humidity monitoring, cheese cloth, raised grates or catch pans. I leave it on the cold grill outside covered until the day I am going to cook and serve. This special process I developed over time really brings out some unique flavors and aromas that are just to DIE for! see more

Content: It costs the company when shoppers order lower-priced items and still get free 2-day shipping. But that’s how Amazon set up Prime in the first place! And that’s why it costs $79 a year! To back track now is going to tick off a lot of people. And lead to many, many canceled Prime memberships. Daily Finance has a good post that goes deeper into the rationale behind the new policy and why it might lead to a higher free shipping threshold for non-prime members. Note, Prime members still have access to thousands of free streaming movies and TV shows, and a Kindle lending library. Is the new policy a “bait and switch”? That’s what many users on an Amazon.com forum claim. User Peregrinn summed up the dilemma nicely: | http://bargainbabe.com/amazon-prime-changes-for-the-worse-havent-you-noticed/ |

What Is Menacing In Ohio? MENACING IS the making of threats to another and causing the other person to believe that the threats are real. The degree of the charge and the penalties vary based on the type of threat made. For instance, making threats is deemed menacing, but making threats of severe bodily injury is deemed aggravated menacing. Ohio also has a menacing by stalking offense. If the threat is made to a family member, many people charged with menacing are also charged with domestic violence.

Once upon a time, you could go to your corner butcher and buy an aged USDA prime cut of beef. If you have had a good, aged steak, you know it is more tender and flavorful than what you typically buy in the store. The reason for this is that aging allows natural enzymes to break down the hard connective tissue in meats and for water to evaporate away, concentrating the flavor. The Spruce Eats / Melissa Ling. Dry Aging
The old method of aging meat is known as dry aging. Dry aging is done by hanging meat in a controlled, closely watched, refrigerated environment. The temperature needs to stay between 36 F and freezing. Too warm and the meat will spoil, too cold and it will freeze, stopping the aging process. | http://bbq.about.com/cs/beef/a/aa030301a.htm |

The temperature needs to stay between 36 F and freezing. Too warm and the meat will spoil, too cold and it will freeze, stopping the aging process. You also need a humidity of about 85 percent to reduce water loss. To control bacteria, you need a constant flow of air all around the meat, which means it needs to be hanging in a well-ventilated space. The last and most important ingredient in this process is an experienced butcher to keep a close eye on the aging meat. There are many reasons that butchers don't typically age meat these days. First, the cost of aged beef can be very high. | http://bbq.about.com/cs/beef/a/aa030301a.htm |

First, the cost of aged beef can be very high. Because of the weight loss of aged beef, the price per pound can be pretty outrageous. If you add in the time, storage space, refrigeration, labor that price just keeps moving up. For meat aging to properly improve the quality of a cut, it should contain substantial marbling. This means that there is fat evenly distributed throughout the meat. Only the highest grades have this kind of marbling and make aging worthwhile. | http://bbq.about.com/cs/beef/a/aa030301a.htm |

Butchers can set this packed meat aside in their refrigerators and allow them to age. Since the meat is packed in its own juices the enzymes will break down the connective tissues and make it more tender. However, because there will be no fluid loss, the concentration of flavor that you get from dry aging won’t happen. You may be tempted to age beef at home. You could take a vacuum-packed primal cut (from which market cuts are taken) from the butcher and put it in the refrigerator for two weeks in hopes of producing a really tender piece of meat. | http://bbq.about.com/cs/beef/a/aa030301a.htm |

However, aging needs to be done at precise temperatures and humidity under controlled circumstances. The average family refrigerator just doesn’t have what it takes to properly age beef. It is very easy to get a good colony of bacteria going in that meat during the couple of weeks it takes to age a piece of beef. There is a technique circulating online that is really a recipe for a trip to the hospital. Take your prime or choice steaks, unwrap them, rinse with cold water, wrap in a clean kitchen towel, and place on the coldest shelf of your refrigerator. | http://bbq.about.com/cs/beef/a/aa030301a.htm |

Sores in Nose that Won’t Heal – Causes & What to Do
While blowing your nose helps you to get rid of excess mucus form the nostrils, continuous wiping and blowing such as when one suffering from cold or flu can make your nose become red and inflamed. Blowing the nose too frequently makes the delicate skin inside and around the nose to turn and get inflamed. This tends to affect most people during the cold weather especially in winter when low temperatures coupled with dryness in the atmosphere create a perfect environment for colds and nose sores. Wiping and blowing the nose too hard can also cause the blood vessels inside the nose to rupture and bleed, eventually leading to formation of nose sore s. Sometimes, scabs may form as the nose tries to heal itself and if someone can’s avoid the temptation to pick at the nose, the nasal lining may become inflamed, resulting in a sore nose. It is advisable to use gentle towels and handkerchiefs for nose blowing as rough ones can cause nasal irritation. You should also avoid blowing your nose too hard and instead do it gently, ideally starting with one nostril before moving on to the next. | http://beautyhows.com/nose/nose-condition/sores-in-nose-that-wont-heal-causes-what-to-do/ |

History of the Telephone
Today, we take telephones for granted. You probably have a telephone within arm’s reach as you read this. But just over 100 years ago, the idea of instantly chatting to someone anywhere in the world seemed impossible. How did someone figure out the technology that makes the telephone possible? Where could telephones take us in the future? Today, we’re going to explain the history of the telephone. Early Telephones
You may already know that Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in the 1880s. But Bell didn’t invent this device out of thin air: early telephones had started being developed as early as the 1660s. Yes, these telephones were incredibly primitive compared to Bell’s telephone, but they still deserve to be mentioned. | http://bebusinessed.com/history/history-of-the-telephone/ |

Yes, these telephones were incredibly primitive compared to Bell’s telephone, but they still deserve to be mentioned. Mechanical Acoustic Devices
Early telephones are more accurately called “mechanical acoustic devices”. Instead of transforming audio energy into electrical energy, these devices simply transmitted voice data mechanically – like through pipes and other media. Using these basic devices, users could transmit speech and music over distances greater than you would be able to transmit if you were speaking (or yelling). One of the best-known examples of this technology is called the tin can telephone, also known as the lover’s phone. It’s the same types of “phones” you created in elementary school when you were younger: | http://bebusinessed.com/history/history-of-the-telephone/ |

Content: you connect two tin cans (or “diaphragms”) using a taut string or wire. The mechanical vibrations from your voice travel down the wire before being converted back into sound energy at the other end of the line. British physicist Robert Hooke was credited as the first person to invent one of these devices. Between 1664 and 1685, Hooke conducted numerous experiments with these devices. The first telephone-like device, an acoustic string phone, is credited to him in 1667. 1700s: Scientist Theorizes You Can Transmit Messages Through Electricity
In 1753, one Scottish scientist named Charles Morrison proposed an important theory: you could transmit messages through electricity by using different wires for each letter. Morrison is credited as the first person to theorize that an electric telegraph could exist. Before We Had Electrical Telephones, We First Needed Electrical Telegraphs

Content: Why did we need electrical telegraphs before the telephone? Well, both the telephone and the telegraph are wire-based electrical systems. The telegraph also paved the way for later telephone inventors. As About.com explains, “Alexander Graham Bell’s success with the telephone came as a direct result of his attempts to improve the telegraph.” By the time Bell began experimenting with using electrical signals to send audio data, the telegraph has been an established means of communication for nearly three decades. Limitations of the Telegraph: Why Did We Need a Telephone? One of the more puzzling parts parts about the invention of the telephone (at least to our modern way of thinking) is that when Bell first showed off his telephone, many people argued that we didn’t actually need such a device. Why would you want to hear someone’s voice when you could just send them a telegram instead? The truth is, the telegraph was an extremely limited system. | http://bebusinessed.com/history/history-of-the-telephone/ |

Why would you want to hear someone’s voice when you could just send them a telegram instead? The truth is, the telegraph was an extremely limited system. The telegraph was only popular because it was the only way to transmit messages over long distances at this point in time. The two biggest problems with the telegraph were its dot and dash Morse code system, which limited the device to only receiving and sending one message at a time, as well as its reliance on physical lines. A break anywhere in the line – including in undersea intercontinental cables – would disable the system. Telegraphs were also limited by their reliance on repeaters, which needed to be placed along the telegraph line to ensure the signal could reach long distances. Repeaters weren’t just automatic relay stations: | http://bebusinessed.com/history/history-of-the-telephone/ |

Who Invented the Telephone? If someone asked you who invented the telephone, you’d probably answer Alexander Graham Bell. But just like schoolkids used to learn that Edison invented electricity, this invention story isn’t always true. The truth is: there were six different inventors working on electrical telephones around this time with high levels of success. As Wikipedia describes it, “The early history of the telephone became and still remains a confusing morass of claims and counterclaims.” This history is confounded further by the fact that these inventors would later file lawsuits against each other.

Content: There has been a significant amount of controversy over the years over whether Bell or Gray invented the phone. The controversy actually went before the Canadian Parliament and United States House of Representatives at one point. I’m not going to go into huge detail here because it’s outside the scope of this article, but you can read up on the Elisha Gray and Alexander Bell telephone controversy here. Ultimately, we can safely say the telephone is the work of many people. Bell, however, is credited with inventing the first practical, patented telephone – mostly because Bell won the famous legal battle instead of Gray. Bell Invents the Telephone
Alexander Graham Bell was born on March 3, 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland. His father and grandfather were considered authorities in elocution and the correction of speech. Bell originally intended to follow in the footsteps of his family, and pursued a career and education in the same specialty. As one article on Bell explains, “his knowledge of the nature of sound led him not only to teach the deaf, but also to invent the telephone.” In 1875, Bell was experimenting with his unique “harmonic telegraph” approach. | http://bebusinessed.com/history/history-of-the-telephone/ |

Bee sting and bee sting symptoms
All kinds of bees and other stinging insects including wasps fall into the phylum Arthropodcategory, which is a part of the Hymenopterafamily. Bees are very important in many different ecosystems because they help to pollinate many different kinds of plants that are food to other animals. Bees have long been a fear of many human beings for their ability to sting, and inject lethal poison into nearly any animal. The sting of a bee can range greatly in the amount of pain felt depending on the type of bee that you are stung by. The sting of a bee feels much like a pinpointed pinch, and is often a very local pain. Almost immediately after the sting, you will notice that the area around the sting will turn red, and the area may become raised and sore to the touch. These symptoms can last up to 48 hours, with a dying-down during the second half of the period. Depending on the reaction that your body has to the sting, some individuals have experienced a raised portion that is wider than 12 inches in diameter. | http://bee-stings.net/ |

In cases like these, you could be experiencing an allergic reaction, and it is recommended that you seek medical help as soon as possible to make sure that the situation does not worsen. The average person can withstand one bee sting for every pound of body weight, as long as they do not have any adverse reactions to the sting. This means that approximately 1000 bee stings could kill the average sized adult male, while only 500 stings could potentially kill a small child. To receive that many stings, you would likely have to upset a nest of some kind, and be swarmed by a large amount of bees. Most stinging insects that are a part of the same family as bees will die after they sting you, but a number of insects that belong to the family will not die after the initial stinging and may be able to sting you several times. | http://bee-stings.net/ |

Most have been led to believe that it may take several stings for you to notice an allergic reaction, but this is not necessarily true. Individuals that are allergic to bee stings will likely notice the effects after the first sting, and within the first hour after being stung. Having an allergy to bee stings could place a person in anaphylactic shock, which is a very dangerous condition that could potentially kill. Those that are most at risk as a result of an allergic reaction to bee stings are young children and elderly adults, although they have typically been known to have less severe reactions to bee stings. | http://bee-stings.net/ |

Although these infections are quite uncommon, you could notice one developing in the first 24 hours after being stung. Some infections have been known to take as long as 36 hours to set in. Allergic reactions are characterized by the appearance of hives, which are raised bumps all over the body and can be very itching. You may also notice that your mouth or throat swell quite a bit, which can inhibit breathing and requires that you seek immediate medical attention. | http://bee-stings.net/ |

Content: The males of this group often fly up to people but lack any stinger with which to inflict pain. Females can sting but rarely do so unless they are handled or aggravated. Bee Sting Treatment
A honey bee can sting only once and the stinger with the venom sac is detached from the bee’s body. The venom sac continues to pump venom through the sting into the wound. This is why it is important to remove the stinger as quickly as possible to decrease the dose of venom injected. There are many different ideas as to how to remove the stinger to limit the amount of venom received but it is common practice to scrape off the stinger instead of pulling it out because squeezing the sac to pull it out might push the remaining venom into the wound. There are many medical and home remedies that people use to treat stings but the best course of action is just plain ice You can also take an antihistamine to reduce the swelling and a painkiller to dull the ache. Symptoms of bee stings include: swelling, reddening of skin, itching, and a dull ache and pain in the area. These symptoms will subside within a few days, but if they do not subside or if they worsen seek medical attention. | http://beespotter.org/topics/stings/ |

Bee spotter John Dahlstedt brought to our attention a commercially available product called The Extractor , which uses a suction device to extract venom from bee stings. The product works like a charm according to John, who wrote, "I have personally used it on yellow jacket stings several times and always the pain was completely gone after 3-5 minutes of use. I have volunteered the use of this to many others that have been stung and it had the same positive effect on them. If there is a stinger present, it of course should be removed first."

Sting Allergies
Most people have mild reactions to bee stings but a small percentage of the population is hyper-sensitive and can have a severe allergic reaction called anaphylactic shock .

The Woodwind Family
The woodwind family consists of three instruments that are played in elementary band, the Flute, the Clarinet, and the Alto Saxophone. Sound is made by blowing over the top of a flute, and by blowing into the reed of a clarinet or saxophone. These instruments are a part of the band program, along with those of the brass and percussion families. The Flute is a member of the woodwind family even though it´s made of metal. It´s the smallest instrument in the band and easily fits into backpack or locker. While most Clarinets are made of plastic, professional clarinets are made of wood. The clarinet is slightly larger than a flute but it is still a small instrument to carry. Making a sound on the clarinet is fairly easy. It´s also a good instrument for students who haven´t developed a strong sense of pitch or have difficulty singing the correct notes. | http://beginband.com/woodwinds.shtml |

A Brief History of Mass Shootings
By Maria Esther Hammack
The notion portrayed by media outlets and the memory that materializes about the UT tower shooting in regards to it being the “first” violent school shooting, the “first” military-connected shooting, or even the “first” violent killing spree in the United States is a mythicized misconception. Historically the United States has witnessed many mass shootings, not originating from the UT tower shooting in 1966, but in fact predating that incident, and as early as 1891.The reasons that led to the August 1966 University of Texas sniper shootings and the perception that this incident was the first mass shootings in the country, not only demonstrates how our society acknowledges why violent crime happens, but also how the past is remembered through the perception of what is morally right and wrong, as well as because of our society’s tendency to so readily forget the past. This brief history of violent crime in the United States, from 1891 to 1966 aims to shed light on how we understand violent crime, particularly why mass shootings happen through an examination of past mass shootings. It also aims to allow us to learn about how mass shooting incidents such as the tower shooting of 1966 are remembered, but also forgotten, and how this remembrance and forgetting have come to shape our perception of the continuity of mass shootings in the history of the United States, particularly before 1966, and the causes that deliver these. In order to comprehend the extent of Columbine, Charleston, Sandy Hook, and Virginia Tech and other mass shootings of today, however, we must examine those that happened in the past, and see how or if these historical occurrences have shaped how we understand the University of Texas’ tower shootings of August 1st, 1966. The mass shootings and violent crime rates that we witness today, particularly those that happen on school property, or those related to military, or ex-military personnel are seldom a reflection of today’s generation, but reflect hard to explain violent crime dynamics that have existed for a long time in this country. Mass shootings have been occurring since even before the turn of the twentieth century. Disturbing and senseless shootings have occurred since 1891 in this country. On March 28, 1891 a man with a doubled barreled shotgun fired upon a crowd of students and faculty attending a school exhibition in Parson Hall School House in Liberty, Mississippi.1The perpetrator wounded over fourteen people mostly children, with several being seriously wounded.2This incident is perhaps one of the earliest reported school mass shootings in the country. | http://behindthetower.org/a-brief-history-of-mass-shootings |

The incident that is regarded as the second mass shooting in this country happened a month after the Liberty, Mississippi shootings. On April 9, 1891 James Foster went inside St. Mary’s Parochial School in New York, and opened fire.3The students he shot all survived, the trauma they experienced left a footprint that although undoubtedly hard to forget was in time actually forgotten. The mass shootings that occurred in 1891 appear to be so far detached, time-wise, that today they are little known. In 1966, when the tower shootings happened in Austin, the headlines of the day failed to recall any mass shooting that happened before the turn of the twentieth century, almost as if these had been erased in our society’s collective memory. The mass shootings that have followed the two 1891 incidents, those in the twentieth century, have become ever more constant, and even at times seem as being more acknowledged. | http://behindthetower.org/a-brief-history-of-mass-shootings |

On August 14 of that year Gilbert Twigg, a war veteran, deliberately fired into a crowd of people in Winfield Kansas immediately killing 9 and wounding 25 unsuspecting others.4Thomas Jones a few years later also went on a murderous shooting spree on January 1913 in Houston, Texas as did Wesley Crow, a professor, who on June 4, 1936 shot and killed 5 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.5The list continues to grow as we progress through the century. Other mass shootings happened particularly those within school settings such as the mass shootings that occurred on Pasadena Public School on May 9, 1940 when 30 year old Verlin Spencer opened fire on school property killing 4.6November 6, 1948 was witness to Melvin Collins’s tragic shootings. Collins went inside the boarding house he had been living in, and decided to shoot people walking outside from inside his hiding spot inside the boarding house. Collins killed eight people and injured countless more. In a similar fashion an ex-military man, Howard Unruh, shot thirteen people and wounded at least five others in Camden, New Jersey on September 1949.7William Bauer left seven dead including himself, in 1956 and Principal Leonard O.

The number of mass shootings in the past two decades have desensitized us or perhaps just helped suppress the memory of violent crimes, and how often these have actually happened. Mass shootings have render our society a sort of collective amnesia. This amnesia is hard to comprehend and examining the history of mass shootings creates more questions than lessons for us today. How should our society, our current generation, and our future ones as well, analyze these mass shooting incidents? How do we create connections from the past that can enable us to deal with the current wave of mass shootings that frequently happen today? | http://behindthetower.org/a-brief-history-of-mass-shootings |

Content: Suicide offers oblivion. 3. The common stimulus (or information input) in suicide is intolerable psychological pain. Excruciating negative emotions - including shame, guilt, anger, fear, and sadness - frequently serve as the foundation for self-destructive behavior. These emotions may arise from any number of sources. 4. The common stressor in suicide is frustrated psychological needs. People with high standards and expectations are especially vulnerable to ideas of suicide when progress toward these goals is suddenly frustrated. People who attribute failure or disappointment to their own shortcomings may come to view themselves as worthless, incompetent or unlovable. Family turmoil is an especially important source of frustration to adolescents. | http://belovedhearts.com/Grief_Center/Why_Suicide.htm |

The common emotion in suicide is hopelessness-helplessness. A pervasive sense of hopelessness, defined in terms of pessimistic expectations about the future, is even more important than other forms of negative emotion, such as anger and depression, in predicting suicidal behavior (Weishaar & Beck, 1992). The suicidal person is convinced that absolutely nothing can be done to improve his or her situation; no one else can help. 6.

Forbes magazine has even noted that a “Yogurt War” has started with even more companies trying to get involved 2, including the soda-giant Pepsi 1. The reason behind this rise in popularity is, in part, due to the marketing of Greek-style yogurts, now 40% of the total market 1. However, even more importantly, there is scientific evidence showing that the bacteria found in yogurt are really good for you. | http://beneficialbacteria.net/probiotic-yogurt/ |

Benefits of Freedom of Speech
Freedom of speech prohibits the government from arbitrarily or unnecessarily interfering with one’s personal opinion, or speech for that matter. As stated in the constitution, every citizen has the opportunity to censure the federal government to support their ostracized, bizarre ideas, which may be offensive to those around you. 1. Shared responsibility
For starters, freedom of speech gives a person a certain level of responsibility, enhanced trust, frankness, and better sense of liability. In addition, free speech acts a tool in nurturing social evolution. Nevertheless, in order to ensure that we all enjoy freedom of speech, the government must put measures into place to stop groups that promote offensive views, such as racism, fascism, sexism and terrorism. 2. Enhances self-esteem
Another reason why the government should encourage freedom of speech is to help people develop poise to express their views without fear of being condemned or punished. By doing so, people can challenge the rules and laws and fight for what they believe is right. Such inspired folks are usually front-runners in economic development. | http://benefitof.net/benefits-of-freedom-of-speech/ |

The benefits of freedom of speech are somewhat obvious, for instance, sharing of ideas can enhance productivity at the workplace, not to mention that it fosters social relationship. Although the benefits of freedom of speech are evident, some groups may abuse this privilege by promoting racist views, as well as fascism. 4. Encourages social evolution
While it is not prudent to restrict freedom of speech, the government should set up laws to ensure all individuals have the chance to express their views without any discrimination, especially when the laws are enforced by the federal government. | http://benefitof.net/benefits-of-freedom-of-speech/ |

Also, it protects your rights of expression and information in cases of war like circumstances. Freedom of speech has its limitations when a group of individuals promote biased ideas, like sexism, fascism, terrorism, and racism. Please help us improve.

Usually, old people are regarded with respect by other members of the society. This is due to the fact that most of them have experienced many things and even paved a way for other members of the society. Elderly people also get quicker assistance with regards to any emergency. 4. Little expectations
Old people do not have huge expectations of their future as they have done all that they could already. This means they spend less on trendy clothes, electronic hardware and shoes among others. In addition, old age comes with reduced responsibilities and normally these people have good families that offer them assistance. | http://benefitof.net/benefits-of-old-age/ |

Benefits of Plutonium
Plutonium is a metal whose name is derived from Pluto, the planet. This metal is radioactive in nature and it has a silvery appearance. Since plutonium usually radiates heat, it is a bit warm to touch. This particular metal is present in small amounts in uranium ores and minerals, but it is artificially created to produce significant quantities. The following are some key plutonium benefits. 1. Produces nuclear power
The major plutonium benefit is obviously production of nuclear power. Plutonium is usually formed inside nuclear reactors after uranium has been processed. Additionally, plutonium is also used in a fast neutron reactor where it acts like a fuel. The nuclear power produced due to plutonium has far reaching advantages and applications. | http://benefitof.net/benefits-of-plutonium/ |

Large quantities of plutonium are produced each year through extracting it mainly from uranium. Some of this plutonium is used for the production of nuclear weapons. In fact, just one kg of plutonium is required to cause a huge explosion that is equal to 25,000 tons of explosives. 3. | http://benefitof.net/benefits-of-plutonium/ |

The radioactive nature of plutonium gives it the capability of generating heat. Actually, if you touched this metal you would feel that is warm. That is why plutonium is used like a source of power and heat aboard spacecrafts. Furthermore, minute quantities of this mineral are normally used in modern pacemakers. Health effects and toxicity
There are some major routes through which plutonium gets into humans who may have an exposure to it. | http://benefitof.net/benefits-of-plutonium/ |

There are some major routes through which plutonium gets into humans who may have an exposure to it. These routes include contamination of any open wounds, inhalation and ingestion. However, the main danger to humans is usually associated with inhalation. If inhaled, plutonium is readily transferred and deposited to various body parts, particularly the bones and liver. This usually leads to cancer. In short, plutonium is amongst the numerous toxic materials which have to be carefully handled to reduce the associated risks. | http://benefitof.net/benefits-of-plutonium/ |

The Executive Branch
The executive branch of our Government is in charge of making sure that the laws of the United States are obeyed. The President of the United States is the head of the executive branch. The President gets help from the Vice President, department heads (called Cabinet members ), and heads of independent agencies. Here are some of the things those people do: The President leads the country and commands the military. The Vice President becomes President if the President can no longer do the job and is also President of the Senate. Department heads advise the President on issues and help carry out decisions made by the Government. Independent Agencies also help carry out decisions made by the Government or provide special services. More In this section

The Judicial Branch
The judicial branch is in charge of deciding the meaning of laws, how to apply them to real situations, and whether a law breaks the rules of the Constitution. The Constitution is the highest law of our Nation. The U.S. Supreme Court, the highest court in the United States, is part of the judicial branch. The Supreme Court is made up of 9 judges called justices who are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The justices hear cases that have made their way up through the court system. The main task of the Supreme Court is to decide cases that may differ from the U.S. Constitution. Once the Supreme Court makes a decision in a case, it can only be changed by a later Supreme Court decision or by changing or amending the Constitution. This is a very important power that can affect the lives of many people. More In this section | http://bensguide.gpo.gov/a-judicial |

2. Vitamin Code Raw Prenatal from Garden of Life
This prenatal vitamin provides 800 micrograms of folic acid, which is an excellent dose in a prenatal vitamin. It is also 100% organic, vegetarian, dairy free, and gluten free (an excellent raw food). A high quality product, this brand of prenatal vitamins includes probiotics which improves the immune health of the baby as well as the mother. Nutritionists will fawn over the ingredients in this multivitamin and some consider it the best out there. This is also an excellent multivitamin to take while lactating since the vitamins and minerals will pass through your milk just like other nutrients and make for incredibly enriching and healthy breast milk. These are highly digestible capsules and allow for maximum absorption. These are really great prenatal vitamins and I haven’t found anyone who does not recommend them.

Content: The total prize pool in 2012 was €2.52 billion. The tickets for this lottery have pre-printed 5-digit numbers, with each set of numbers sold multiple times in several so-called series. For example, a ticket with the number “00001” was printed 180 times under different series numbers. This results in the jackpot always being split across multiple winners. The 2011 main jackpot of €720 million was paid out as €4 million to each of the 180 tickets with the number 58268. Unlike in the United States, European jackpots are generally tax-free and jackpots are paid in a lump sum. For example, in theUnited Kingdom’s National Lottery, wagers are split between the game operator Camelot Group and the government, with Camelot distributing some of the money for prizes, some for operating costs, a small amount for profit, some into their ‘good causes’ programme, with the remainder going to the government as tax; VAT however, is not due.

Big Think Interview With Howard Gardner
Howard Gardner
Howard Gardner is a developmental psychologist and the John H. and Elisabeth A. Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. He holds positions as Adjunct Professor of Psychology at Harvard University and Senior Director of Harvard Project Zero. Among numerous honors, Gardner received a MacArthur Prize Fellowship in 1981. In 1990, he was the first American to receive the University of Louisville's Grawemeyer Award in Education and in 2000 he received a Fellowship from the John S. Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. In 2005 and again in 2008 he was selected by Foreign Policy and Prospect magazines as one of 100 most influential public intellectuals in the world. He has received honorary degrees from twenty-two colleges and universities, including institutions in Ireland, Italy, Israel, and Chile. The author of over twenty books translated into twenty-seven languages, and several hundred articles, Gardner is best known in educational circles for his theory of multiple intelligences, a critique of the notion that there exists but a single human intelligence that can be assessed by standard psychometric instruments. During the past twenty five years, he and colleagues at Project Zero have been working on the design of performance-based assessments, education for understanding, and the use of multiple intelligences to achieve more personalized curriculum, instruction, and assessment. In the middle 1990s, Gardner and his colleagues launched The GoodWork Project. " GoodWork" is work that is excellent in quality, personally engaging, and exhibits a sense of responsibility with respect to implications and applications. | http://bigthink.com/videos/big-think-interview-with-howard-gardner |

Content: that’s the technical term for how much of the variation of population has to do with who your biological grandparents were, because that’s a better set of genes than your parents because you have four sets rather than two. We don’t know what the heritability is of most intelligences, but from a lot of research we know that on the average human traits are about 0.5 heritable. That means that genes make a big contribution but so do parents, culture, the media, peers and so on. I guess I never put it this way before, but maybe what I would say is the intelligences that you favor are probably ones where you have a genetic predisposition, but how use those intelligences is going to be overwhelmingly determined by the culture in which you were born and your parents and what they value and whether you get along with your parents and that kind of thing. So the deployment of intelligences is probably largely a nurture factor. But if say if the Bach family had a | http://bigthink.com/videos/big-think-interview-with-howard-gardner |

Content: Effect of Light intensity on the rate of Photosynthesis - Biology Notes for IGCSE 2014
#41 Effect of Light intensity on the rate of Photosynthesis
Plants need light energy to make the chemical energy needed to create carbohydrates. Increasing the light intensity will boost the speed of photosynthesis. However, at high light intensities the rate becomes constant. Experiment
Place a pond weed Elodea upside in a test tube containing water. Place the tube in a beaker of fresh water at 25°C. This helps to maintain a constant temperature around the pond weed. Place excess sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) in the water to give a constant saturated solution of CO2. Place the lamp (the only light source) at distance from the plant. Count the number of oxygen bubbles given off by the plant in 1 minute period. This is the rate of photosynthesis at that particular light intensity. | http://biology-igcse.weebly.com/effect-of-light-intensity-on-the-rate-of-photosynthesis.html |

Repeat at different light intensities by moving the lamp to different distances. Photo from passmyexams.co.uk
Graph the results placing light intensity on the x-axis. Explanation
Light energy absorbed by chlorophyll is converted to ATP and H+
At very low light levels the plant will be respiring only not photosynthesising. As the light intensity increases, the rate of photosynthesis increases. | http://biology-igcse.weebly.com/effect-of-light-intensity-on-the-rate-of-photosynthesis.html |

Light energy absorbed by chlorophyll is converted to ATP and H+
At very low light levels the plant will be respiring only not photosynthesising. As the light intensity increases, the rate of photosynthesis increases. However, the rate will not increase beyond a certain level of light intensity. At high light intensities the rate becomes constant, even with further increases in light intensity, there are no increases in the rate. The plant is unable to harvest the light at these high intensities and the chlorophyll system can be damaged by very intense light levels. References: skoool.ie

#44 Limiting factors in photosynthesis
Content: As light intensity increases, the rate of photosynthesis will increase, until the plant is photosynthesising as fast as it can. At this point, even if light becomes brighter, the plant cannot photosynthesise any faster. Over the first part of the curve ( between A and B ), light is a limiting factor. The plant is limited in how fast it can photosynthesise because it does not have enough light. Between B and C, light is not a limiting factor. Even if more light is shone on the plant, it still cannot photosynthesise any faster. Carbon dioxide
In photosynthesis CO2 is a key limiting factor. The usual atmospheric level of CO2 is 0.03%. In perfect conditions of water availability, light and temperature this low CO2 level holds back the photosynthetic potential. The more CO2 a plant is given, the faster it can photosynthesise up to a point, but then a maximum is reach. | http://biology-igcse.weebly.com/limiting-factors-in-photosynthesis.html |

2012 Voter Turnout Report
Nov 08, 2012
Report
A cliff-hanger presidential election, major issues at stake, an estimated $6 billion spent in the 2012 campaigns, and a significant increase in eligible voters all failed to sustain the upward momentum for turnout from 2004 and 2008. Voter turnout dipped from 62.3 percent of eligible citizens voting in 2008 to an estimated 57.5 in 2012. That figure was also below the 60.4 level of the 2004 election but higher than the 54.2 percent turnout in the 2000 election. Despite an increase of over eight million citizens in the eligible population, turnout declined from 131 million voters in 2008 to an estimated 126 million voters in 2012 when all ballots are tallied. Some 93 million eligible citizens did not vote. The turnout percentage of eligibles voting was down from 2008 in every state and the District of Columbia, except two—Iowa and Louisiana. The turnout numbers of citizens who cast ballots were down in every state but six—Delaware, Iowa, Louisiana, North Carolina, North Dakota and Wisconsin. Share

According to Wikipedia, business architecture is a part of an enterprise architecture related to a corporate business or an organization. The formal definition according to the Object Management Group's Business Architecture Working Group as follows: "A blueprint of the enterprise that provides a common understanding of the organization and is used to align strategic objectives and tactical demands." The documents and diagrams within this blueprint – created and managed with software products like IRIS Business Architect - describe the architectural structure of this business or organization. Business architecture is the bridge between the enterprise business model and the enterprise strategy on one side, and the business functionality of the corporate business or organization on the other side. People who build business architecture are known as Business Architects. Working as a change agent with senior business stakeholders, the Business Architect plays a key part in shaping and fostering continuous improvement, business transformation, and business innovation initiatives. | http://biz-architect.com/business-architecture/what-is/ |

Business finance has many common sayings. " Cash is king" is one that is heard the most. Surveys indicate that most businesses fail due to cash flow problems. It is nice to make a profit, but cash flow is necessary to continue operating. Start-up businesses often find it difficult to generate and hold on to cash. This is often due to the debt that is incurred and the cash that is needed to fund operations and pay off debts. An understanding of free cash flow and some ratios can help owners get a grasp on their cash and debt. Also important to understand are cash budgeting, managing cash flow and the relationship between cash and profit. Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is the amount of cash a business generates after accounting for operating cash flow (cash generated from operating), capital expenditures (money spent on your fixed assets), changes in working capital (the difference in working capital between periods), and dividends (shareholder payments, if any). What this means is free cash is the cash you have leftover that you could do something with. | http://bizfinance.about.com/od/cashmanagement/a/cash_mngt.htm |

They found that African Americans age 35 and older were more likely to be married than White Americans from 1890 until sometime around the 1960s. Not only did they swap places during the 60s but in 1980 the number of NEVER married African Americans began a staggering climb from about 10% to more than 25% by 2010 while the percentage remained just over 10% for White men through 2000. The chart above was included in the report only the heading has been altered by BlackDemographics.com to outline these findings. CLICK IMAGE TO ZOOM
The above chart illustrates how closely the marriage graph for Black men aligns with the incarceration numbers which also experienced an abnormal climb beginning in 1980. This does not prove causation however it shows that they are related due to the assumption that men in prison are less likely to marry. NOTE: | http://blackdemographics.com/black-male-statistics/ |

Content: For example the median income for Black families is $20 thousand a year less than the national median income. As you can see from the chart labeled ‘Black Family Income’ that Black married-couple families make more than twice that of Female householder families. This charts also indicates that there may be a substantial benefit for those in a married-couple family regardless of race or ethnicity. However we must also recognize that an increase in marriages between lower income couples would most likely lower the median income of married couple households not eliminating but reducing such benefit.

Wages by Education
African American median Income has increased since the Great Recession of 2008, however the racial gap persists. African Americans were the last major racial/ethnic group to start recovering from the recession. Another indication is the correlation between education and wages. Black men earn just about $200 (weekly) less than all men with the same education level including those with Bachelor’s and Advanced Degrees. Black women fair better earning about $100 less (weekly) than all women but Black women with an advanced degree are earning $63 more than all women per week. CLICK IMAGE TO ZOOM

Q&A: Can You Become Lactose Intolerant As You Get Older? lactose intolerance
Lactose intolerance is a condition caused by a lack of an enzyme called lactase, which, in turn, causes the body to be unable to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk and milk products. Lactase is normally produced by cells lining the small intestine where it breaks down lactose into a form that can be absorbed by the blood. A lack of lactase can cause uncomfortable symptoms for some people. Those who exhibit symptoms are said to be lactose intolerant. Thirty to 50 million Americans (adults and children) are lactose intolerant. The disorder affects some populations more than others: | http://blackdoctor.org/460200/lactose-intolerant-african-americans/ |
