"Introduction Groundwater Depletion Prevention Get Involved Poster ResumeCauses Areas Being Affected President Bush's Policy Video Description Homepage ReferencesBack to HomepageWhat is saltwater intrusion?Salt water intrusion occurs in coastal freshwater aquifers when the different densities of both the saltwater and freshwater allow the ocean water to intrude into the freshwater aquifer. These areas are usually supporting large populations where the demanding groundwater withdrawals from these aquifers is exceeding the recharge rate. Figure 2 gives a rough illustration of what an overdrawn aquifer may look like. This can cause lateral and vertical intrusion of the surrounding saltwater, and evidence of saltwater intrusion has been found throughout the eastern seaboard of the U.S. ( USGS, 2007 ). The encroaching seawater will encounter an area known as the zone of dispersion, where the freshwater and saltwater mix and form an interface, as illustrated in Figure 3. This interface moves back and forth naturally because of fluctuations in the recharge rate of freshwater back into these coastal aquifers ( Ranjan, 2007 ). Aquifers are naturally replenished by precipitation and surface waters that saturate into the ground and work their way through the soil and geologic material to the water table.Figure 2. Water Ways  ( St. Johns River Water Management District, 2008)Figure 3. Groundwater Flow Patterns  ( Ranjan, 2007)What causes saltwater intrusion?When groundwater levels in aquifers are depleted faster than they can recharge. This is directly related to the position of the interface and determines the amount of saltwater that can intrude into the freshwater aquifer system. Since saltwater intrusion is directly related to the recharge rate of the groundwater, this allows for other factors that may contribute to the encroachment of seawater into the freshwater aquifers. Climatic variables, such as precipitation, surface runoff, and temperature can play a big role in affecting saltwater intrusion. With lower precipitation amounts and warmer temperatures, the recharge rate will be much less due to lack of groundwater present and increased evaporation ( Ranjan, 2007 ). Along with this, other factors may influence the groundwater recharge rate indirectly. An example of this would be the rising carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere. Increasing carbon dioxide levels can lead directly to an increase in average surface temperatures, indirectly increasing the evaporation rate and affecting the recharge of freshwater into the coastal aquifers.Figure 4 illustrates a situation where major pumping of well water has lead to a cone of depression in the water table.Figure 4 illustrates a situation where major pumping of the well water has lead to a cone of depression in the water table. When this occurs, it will move the saltwater freshwater interface inland, resulting in a higher saline concentration in the aquifers' water, rendering it useless for human consumption, unless it is treated.Figure 4. Saltwater Intrusion Situation  ( University of Florida, 2000))Another factor that directly affects coastal aquifer depletion is land use planning and management. Different activities such as irrigating crops and industrial processing can require a substantial amount of freshwater resources to be withdrawn. Figure 5 shows the groundwater withdrawals for the southeastern U.S. region in 1985 ( Miller, 2002 ). If certain wells are relying on these coastal aquifers to provide enough freshwater to support agricultural, industrial, municipal, and residential demands, then the recharge rate of the aquifer must be able to keep up. The over-pumping of these coastal aquifers has decreased the underground water table level and decreased the abundance, pressure, and storage capacity of the freshwater aquifer. This will cause the zone of dispersion to move inland and drastically reduce the freshwater that is available from the well and it may result in contamination of the freshwater aquifer and eliminate it as a potential freshwater source.Figure 5. Fresh Groundwater Withdrawals  ( Miller, 2002)Coastal populations continue to grow larger as our freshwater sources slowly decline with the increasing demand for freshwater resources. Coastal areas of the contiguous United States make up only 17% of the land area of our country. Within this small portion of land, over half of the nationâs population resides in these designated âcoastal areasâ. From 1980 to 2003, the coastal population of the United States increased by 28% or over 33 million people. Also in 2003, it was reported that 23 out of 25 of the most densely populated counties in the U.S. were defined as being coastal regions ( NOAA, 2007 ).What are the problems associated with groundwater depletion?Declining Water TablesProbably the most detrimental effect that groundwater depletion causes is the lowering of the water table. The water table is the area underneath the ground that is completely saturated with freshwater and can be drilled into and extracted as a freshwater resource. As the water level declines, extraction of water may prove to be more difficult. If the water level drops below the well, then it must be re-drilled and set at a lower depth. This can be quite an expensive procedure, especially for a residential consumer with an independent well system. As the water table declines, extraction of the freshwater becomes more difficult and expensive, and the rate of water that can usually be pumped out of the well will decline ( USGS, 2005 ). Keeping this in mind, if water tables continue to decrease, extraction of groundwater for all different activities will become increasingly more expensive as time progresses.Currently in Vermont, the price of well drilling is going up. On average, a 250 foot well will cost somewhere around $4,000 ( Helmich, 2000 ). However, the more complicated the project gets due to location, underground geological rock formation, and lower water tables, the higher the cost of drilling a well becomes. If this is true for a non coastal, lightly populated area such as Vermont, you can extrapolate the costs of well drilling in a densely populated, coastal area such as coastal South Carolina and Georgia, where the water table is extremely low.Changing the InterfaceAnother problem that takes place when saltwater intrusion occurs in coastal freshwater aquifers is the changing of the saltwater- freshwater interface. Also known as the zone of dispersion or transition zone, this is the area where the body of saltwater and freshwater meet and form a hydrologic barrier. The natural hydrologic movement of the underground freshwater towards the ocean usually prevents the seawater from intruding into the coastal aquifer system ( Ranjan, 2007 ). Over-pumping of these coastal aquifers will cause a fluctuation in the amount of freshwater moving towards the coastal discharge areas and will allow for the oceanic water to move inland, into the aquifer system. This will result in higher chlorinated concentrations of water and less available storage space for the freshwater in the aquifer. Figure 6 accurately shows how the saltwater freshwater interface can intrude into the confined coastal aquifer. When the interface moves inland, the deeper wells will begin to withdraw saline contaminated freshwater. This means that the water must be treated before human consumption. The other option is to stop using this well until the natural recharge rate of the aquifer can force the saltwater freshwater interface back to its normal position. This process can take a long time and it reduces the freshwater availability of this region.Figure 6. Seawater Intrusion in Wells  ( Washington State Department of Ecology, 2007)What areas are currently experiencing saltwater intrusion?Currently in the U.S., many coastal aquifers are experiencing different degrees of saltwater intrusion. The most commonly studied coastal area experiencing saltwater intrusion on the eastern seaboard of the U.S. is the surficial aquifer system of the southeastern U.S. This aquifer system covers most of Florida and the coastal areas of South Carolina and Georgia (Figure 7). The average thickness of the surficial aquifer is around 50 feet, however, in some places such as St. Lucie County in Florida, it can reach a depth of over 400 feet ( Miller, 2002 ). The Biscayne aquifer is a surficial aquifer located in southeastern Florida. This is the most heavily used water source for Florida, and it spans over 3,000 square miles. In many areas, the Biscayne aquifer has been contaminated by industrial discharge, landfills, and saltwater intrusion ( University of Florida, 2003 ). In 1985, the Biscayne aquifer was providing 786 million gallons of water a day, where public water supply withdrawals were around 569 million gallons a day ( Miller, 2002 ). A combination of large groundwater withdrawals and a new drainage canal system has allowed the freshwater level to decline, promoting the landward movement of the saltwater into the freshwater aquifer and canal systems ( Miller, 2002 ).Figure 7. Surficial aquifer system  ( Miller, 2002)The chart in Figure 8 shows monthly average water levels from 1964 to 2003, for a well in Cook County, Georgia. This well is used for a variety of anthropogenic activities such as agricultural irrigation and municipal and domestic water supply purposes. This image offers a good visual representation of the continuous groundwater declines due to excessive pumping of the local aquifers. Figure 8 can be considered as a general representation of the decreasing water levels of the aquifers located in the southeast region of the United States.Figure 8. Cook County, Georgia Water Depletion  ( USGS, 2005 ).What can be done to prevent saltwater intrusion?People in the Los Angeles basin have been relying on groundwater aquifers as a source of freshwater for a growing population for over a hundred years. There are over 10 million people who reside in Los Angeles County that need these underground freshwater sources. Just around the 1950s, Los Angeles made effort to prevent ongoing saltwater intrusion by developing a series of injection wells. These injection wells were strategically placed with the idea that if they added freshwater into the aquifers at a given location, then they might be able to develop barriers to prevent further intrusion of the saltwater ( USGS, 2005 ). These barriers proved to only be partially effective, and only prevented further saltwater encroachment into the freshwater aquifer. Figure 9 is a basic visual representation of how injection wells function. Once the saltwater intrusion problem has been identified, a series of closely spaced injection wells are designed as a coastal barrier to prevent the intruding saltwater. High quality freshwater is pumped through the injection wells into the aquifer creating a hydraulic pressure ridge that should hinder the further intrusion of saltwater into the freshwater aquifer ( USGS, 2005 ).Figure 9. What is Saltwater Intrusion?  ( USGS, 2005)Other solutions to prevent saltwater in coastal aquifers is being developed. One of the new technologies that are being developed overseas uses what scientists are calling crystallization technology. This is a relatively new approach to preventing saltwater intrusion into coastal aquifers, and has only been implemented in test projects. The basic theory behind this ""CRYSTECHSALIN"" process is that you reduce the permeability of the geological rock formations that act as a barrier for the coastal aquifer. By artificially inducing a crystallized solution of slightly soluble minerals from over saturated solution, we can change the porosity of the rock formations and prevent the saltwater from seeping through the rock into the aquifer. This crystallization process interacts with soil and geologic rock formations turning into a grout like binding agent. This over saturated crystallized solution has flow and seal properties that allow it to penetrate through the soil and rock layers while creating a seal that diminishes the permeability of the rock barriers, hence preventing saltwater from intruding into the aquifer ( Geoservice, 2006 ).What is President Bush's position on the issue of saltwater intrusion?Figure 10. George W. Bush's Manifest Destiny  ( Reidblog, 2007) Figure 11. Cowboy?  ( White, 2007)The Clean Water Act was passed in 1972 with the sole purpose "" to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nationâs waters."" T he Clean Water Act has provided federal protection against polluting or destroying the streams, ponds, lakes, rivers, coastal areas, and other waters that American citizens may rely on for activities such as: drinking water, fishing, recreation, fish and wildlife habitat, and many other uses ( Earthjustice, 2008). This was a monumental step in reducing and preventing further water pollution.In the summer of 2005, President George W. Bush signed and passed the Energy Policy Act of 2005. This new law was developed to change the energy policy of the United States by providing loan guarantees and tax incentives for various types of energy production. This act promotes a wide variety of innovating technologies to be applied to energy production. One aspect of the of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 is to increase our ethanol production in the U.S. in order to help combat rising gasoline prices and reduce harmful automobile emissions to the environment. Even though this seems like a great idea, it resulted in a huge increase in corn production. The additional corn being harvested for ethanol production requires a substantial amount of freshwater for irrigation purposes, which puts even more stress on the depleting Ogallala Aquifer of the central U.S. In addition to corn irrigation, ethanol production requires three to six gallons of freshwater to produce just one gallon of ethanol ( Neuzil, 2008 ). How can we support this so called ""greener policy"" if it is reducing fossil fuel consumption, yet drastically increasing the demand for freshwater resources that aren't readily available in areas like the central United States?How do I get involved?One of the most productive ways to get involved and try to make a change is by writing an action letter to an associated group or government authority. The first letter is addressed to the Governor of Florida, Charlie Crist. It simply outlines the current saltwater intrusion problems that the Upper Floridian aquifer is experiencing and briefly talks about a study done on two wells that tap into this aquifer. The study shows increasing chloride concentrations in this freshwater aquifer over the past few years, for which data is available for this region. If you would like to know what Florida's Governor Charlie Crist is planning to do about this ongoing problem, please click here to contact the governor and let him know that he must take action!The second action letter is addressed to the Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger. In this letter, the pathways of saltwater intrusion into freshwater aquifers are briefly mentioned and the possible solutions are brought to light. This letter talks about past attempts of installing freshwater injection wells and their success. It also asks the governor to reply and let us know what his future plans are to slow down or eliminate this problem.

Seawater intrusion is the movement of seawater into fresh water aquifers due to natural processes or human activities.Seawater intrusion is caused by decreases in groundwater levels or by rises in seawater levels.eawater intrusion is the movement of seawater into fresh water aquifers due to natural processes or human activities.


What is seawater intrusion & how does it happen
The intrusion of salt water can also affect habitats and ecosystems. Seawater intrusion can occur naturally, usually together with storm surges, the storm presses salt water into the aquifers. But the most common cause of seawater intrusion is overexploitation of the groundwater by humans.eawater intrusion is when saline water, defined as water with a concentration of dissolved salts of more than 1000 mg/L, migrates into the groundwater system. When the fresh water in aquifers gets replaced by saline water the wells becomes useless for drinking and agriculture.


What is seawater intrusion & how does it happen
Seawater intrusion due to pumping. The most common source for seawater intrusion is when the pressure in the aquifers is lowered, this causes an up dwelling of saline water into the aquifers. As you can see from fig. 2, the usage of groundwater causes a depression in the water level and a seawater intrusion.eawater intrusion is when saline water, defined as water with a concentration of dissolved salts of more than 1000 mg/L, migrates into the groundwater system. When the fresh water in aquifers gets replaced by saline water the wells becomes useless for drinking and agriculture.


Biscayne Aquifer - Saltwater Intrusion
Saltwater intrusion occurs when large amounts of saltwater move into an aquifer's freshwater supply and create brackish water.Generally, it occurs when the water level of an aquifer is lowered and freshwater is being withdrawn at faster rate than at which it is being replenished.The rate at which saltwater intrusion occurs depends upon the water level of the aquifer and the rates of replenishment and withdrawal. certain amount of mixing between freshwater and saltwater in a coastal aquifer is natural. This happens in an area know as a zone of dispersion. The overall flow of freshwater in the aquifer moves toward the ocean. This movement keeps the saltwater from intruding.

Thank you for your response to our blog. When you have a fractured rib or ribs you can experience pain and disability for the upwards of 6 weeks, depending on how severely the fracture is displaced. It can be helpful to see your doctor for pain management during this time.If your ribs are more severely injured or displaced you may need to see a specialist.ib fractures are the most common chest injury accounting for 10 to 15 percent of all traumatic injuries in the U.S. Nearly 300,000 people are seen each year for rib fractures and 7 percent of this population will require hospitalization for medical, pain, and/ or surgical management.


Broken collarbone
A broken collarbone, or fractured clavicle, is a common injury. It usually happens after a fall or a blow to the shoulder. It takes about six to eight weeks to heal in adults, and three to six weeks in children.The collarbone, or clavicle, is a long slender bone that runs from the breastbone to each of the shoulders.You should be able to feel it running across the top of your chest, just below your neck. It is connected to the breastbone and shoulder blade via tough bands of tissue called ligaments.n adults, it usually takes about six to eight weeks for a broken collarbone to heal, although it can take longer. In children, it usually takes about three to six weeks to heal. However, it will take at least the same period again to restore full strength to your shoulder.

If they drive between 30 and 50 hours, they pay a 10% commission. With its new tiered commission structure, Uber is taking a page out of Lyftâs book â except that the driversâs ultimate reward is getting to keep 80% of their fare, not 100%.


-
Average fare price per trip is one indicator of the effect of fare changes and of course, what a driver can expect to make per trip, irrespective of time. Highlights: At the national level, per trip fares on UberX and Lyft combined for SherpaShare drivers increased $1.08 from January through May, an increase of 8%.


Everything You Need To Know About Lyft Premier
by | Jul 7, 2016. Lyft has gone luxury. The second biggest ride-hail company in the United States announced a service called Lyft Premier today for riders who want something a little fancier than the average ride-hail ride. In this case, a BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, Lexus ES, or Cadillac Escalade.


-
In January 2015, the average Uber trip was $12.33, the average Lyft trip was $11.39. In May 2015, the average Uber trip was $13.36, the average Lyft trip was $12.53. Baltimore drivers had the highest average fare increases for UberX, at over $4, followed by Pittsburgh and Nashville at close to $3.

This Is How Much You Need To Drive For Uber Or Lyft To Make $50,000 A Year
Based on their data, drivers can, on average, make more working for Uber than for Lyft and Sidecar in most places. Uber drivers make an average of $15.97 per ride with Uber, as opposed to Lyft ($11.48) and Sidecar ($13.35). In order to make $50,000 a year, an Uber driver must provide 60.21 rides every week. A Lyft driver would have to provide 83.76 rides, and a Sidecar driver would have to provide 72.03 rides.


Uber Tests Taking Even More From Its Drivers With 30% Commission
Uber and rival service Lyft make most of their money on driver commission, and both began with a standard 20% commission.

General topology establishes the foundational aspects of topology and investigates properties of topological spaces and concepts inherent to topological spaces. It includes point-set topology, which is the foundational topology used in all other branches (including topics like compactness and connectedness).


Star Topology
Star topology is a network topology where each individual piece of a network is attached to a central node (often called a hub or switch). The attachment of these network pieces to the central component is visually represented in a form similar to a star. Star topology is also known as a star network. Star topologies are either active or passive networks, depending on the following: 1  If the central node performs processes, such as data amplification or regeneration.  If the network actively controls data transit.

Star topologies are either active or passive networks, depending on the following: 1  If the central node performs processes, such as data amplification or regeneration. 2  If the network actively controls data transit.  If the network requires electrical power sources.


What Are Network Topologies?
Star Topology: In a star network devices are connected to a central computer, called a hub. Nodes communicate across the network by passing data through the hub. Main Advantage: In a star network, one malfunctioning node doesn't affect the rest of the network.


Star Topology
Benefits of a star network topology include the following: Has the ability to limit the impact of a single failure. In star networks, a single unit is isolated by its relationship to the central hub, so that if a component goes down, it only affects that unit's local reach.


Topology
In mathematics, topology (from the Greek ÏÏÏÎ¿Ï, place, and Î»ÏÎ³Î¿Ï, study) is concerned with the properties of space that are preserved under continuous deformations, such as stretching and bending, but not tearing or gluing.


What Are Network Topologies?
Network Topology refers to layout of a network. How different nodes in a network are connected to each other and how they communicate is determined by the network's topology.

What You Need To Know Before You Pop A Blister
Damp, warm skin is most prone to blisters, so there's probably no way to save your sweaty feet completely, but there are some possible protective measures. The best tip is to avoid ill-fitting shoes and to avoid repetitive trauma in those shoes, she says.


Understanding Blisters -- Treatment
Most blisters caused by friction or minor burns do not require a doctor's care. New skin will form underneath the affected area and the fluid is simply absorbed. Do not puncture a blister unless it is large, painful, or likely to be further irritated. The fluid-filled blister keeps the underlying skin clean, which prevents infection and promotes healing. But if you need to pop a blister:


What You Need To Know Before You Pop A Blister
The answer: Blisters are among the most common problems runners face on the regular. The good news is most will go away in just a few days. The bad news is, in the meantime, they can range from mildly annoying to brutally painful. Blisters are caused by repetitive trauma to the skin, explains board-certified dermatologist Lauren Ploch, M.D., M.Ed., FAAD, a member of the American Academy of Dermatology.

How long does it take for a Monarch butterfly to leave the chrysalis?
The process from egg to butterfly is weather dependent and also depends on the regional climate. It can take about four weeks in the peak of the summer in warmer climates. The egg takes 5 to 10 days, the larva/caterpillar and pupa/chrysalis each take about 10 to 14 days.


-
It takes a monarch butterfly just 28 to 38 days to complete its life cycle, with warmer temperatures generally being responsible for faster development. Monarch females lay their eggs on milkweed, the only plant monarch caterpillars can eat.


How long will a butterfly cocoon take to hatch?
Butterfly life span varies greatly. Opler and Krizek in Butterflies East of the Great Plains, state that the expected life span (which is usually much shorter than the maxi â¦ mum life span because of predators, weather, etc.) ranges from about 2 to 14 days after they emerge from the chrysalis.


Raising Monarch Caterpillars
If you found yourself a little creamy-white egg under a milkweed leaf, then you have probably found yourself a Monarch butterfly egg. In about four days, a caterpillar is going to hatch and soon, you will be watching the life-cycle of the gorgeous Monarch take place.


-
A Monarch caterpillar can eat enough Milkweed in one day to equal its own body weight. Just 9 to 14 days after hatching from its eggs, a caterpillar will be about 2 long and fully grown. A caterpillar has eight pair of legs (three pair of true legs on its thorax and five pair of prolegs on its abdomen).


How long does it take for a Monarch butterfly to leave the chrysalis?
It can take about four weeks in the peak of the summer in warmer climates. The egg takes 5 to 10 days, the larva/caterpillar and pupa/chrysalis each take about 10 to 14 days.

It grows very fast though, feeding on nothing but milkweed leaves. A Monarch caterpillar can eat enough Milkweed in one day to equal its own body weight. Just 9 to 14 days after hatching from its eggs, a caterpillar will be about 2 long and fully grown.


How long does it take for a Monarch butterfly to leave the chrysalis?
The egg takes 5 to 10 days, the larva/caterpillar and pupa/chrysalis each take about 10 to 14 days. In winter, autumn and spring it takes a lot longer (if it happens at all â they continue to breed in Northland).

Is It a Common Cold or Allergies?
They have different causes. You get a cold when a tiny living thing called a virus gets into your body. There are hundreds of different types that can get you sick. Once a cold virus gets inside you, your immune system, the body's defense against germs, launches a counter-attack. It's this response that brings on the classic symptoms like a cough or stuffed up nose. The viruses that cause colds are contagious.


Is It Allergies Or A Cold? 5 Ways To Tell

It's a different story with allergies. They're caused by an overactive immune system. For some reason, your body mistakes harmless things, such as dust or pollen, for germs and attacks them. When that happens, your body releases chemicals such as histamine, just as it does when fighting a cold. This can cause a swelling in the passageways of your nose, and you'll start sneezing and coughing. Unlike colds, allergies aren't contagious, though some people may inherit a tendency to get them.

What is an 'Inventory Write-Off'
Inventory Write-Off vs. Write-Down If inventory still has some value, it will be written down instead of written off. When the market price of inventory falls below its cost, accounting rules require that a company write down or reduce the reported value of the inventory on the financial statement to the market value.


Accounting for Inventory Write Downs
The Inventory Equation. When you write down or write off inventory, you reduce the value of ending inventory for the period. The inventory equation states that the cost of goods sold, or COGS, equals the beginning inventory plus purchases minus ending inventory. Write-downs therefore raise COGS, which has the effect of lowering gross profits and taxable income. To record the write-down without using an inventory reserve, debit COGS for the loss and credit inventory by the same amount.

Energy Foods: 5 Foods That Fight Fatigue
But here's a tip: You can fight fatigue, and you can do it with every bite you eat. These five foods fit the bill and then some, as they're also easily digested and rich in nutrients that are essential to helping your body convert food into energy.


The Power of Protein
Good sources of protein include meat, poultry, fish, eggs, beans, nuts, soy, and low-fat dairy products. When you eat these types of foods, your body breaks down the protein that they contain into amino acids (the building blocks of proteins).


3 Foods to Avoid for Preventing Daily Fatigue
Other characteristics of fatigue include apathy, decreased attention span, and irritability. It can be triggered by a number of things, such as an unhealthy diet. It is also crucial not to skip meals or overeat if you want to prevent fatigue. Skipping meals and overeating causes blood sugar levels to drop and spike.


3 Foods to Avoid for Preventing Daily Fatigue
Greasy fast food and processed foods are primary triggers of fatigue. Foods high in saturated fats take the body longer to digest, which causes feelings of sluggishness and fatigue. Examples of these foods are: Pre-packaged food.


Energy Foods: 5 Foods That Fight Fatigue
Eating the right foods is especially important if you're already feeling fatigued due to the stress of a hectic lifestyle, whether it stems from physical, mental, or emotional overexertion. After all, fatigue isn't just a nuisance; if ignored, it can become chronic and put you at increased risk for disease.


Energy Foods: 5 Foods That Fight Fatigue
Why it works: For those diagnosed with iron deficiency (a common cause of anemia, also known as low red blood cell count), getting more iron in the diet can help reduce fatigue. Red blood cells use iron to carry oxygen to the body's cells. Low iron levels can cause both physical and mental fatigue, as well as anemia. Symptoms of anemia include tiredness, lack of energy, weakness, trouble concentrating, apathy, insomnia, and loss of appetite. Spinach and other leafy greens offer a high rate of iron for an extremely low caloric intake.


3 Foods to Avoid for Preventing Daily Fatigue
Foods loaded with sodium and saturated fats can cause sluggishness and fatigue. It is important to try and avoid these foods as much as possible in order to prevent fatigue. It is also important to remember not to skip meals. Skipping meals causes hunger to build up, which typically results in overeating and fatigue.


-
Many processed carbohydrates, such as white rice, white bread, and pasta, contain little or no fiber, resulting in expending energy at a rapid rate. To ensure you have a food rich in fiber, check the label. A slice of bread should contain 2 to 3 grams of fiber.


Foods to Fight Fatigue
No matter how you phrase it, you're beat and need to drum up some energy. Generally reported by more women than men, sluggishness can be caused by many things. But experts say poor nutrition is a big culprit. Food is truly our body's fuel, says Cindy Moore, director of nutrition therapy for The Cleveland Clinic.


-
Other dietary reasons for fatigue include too much alcohol (which is a depressant) and lack of certain vitamins and minerals. Low iron is a common problem for women. If you still find yourself sluggish with a well-balanced diet, then a visit to the doctor may be in order.

How to Cook Tilapia Fillets in the Oven
Ovens can be used to broil or bake tilapia fillets. The difference between broiling and baking is temperature. Broiling uses a high temperature -- 500 degrees Fahrenheit or higher -- and the heat comes from above. The fillets develop a slight char and crisping on the top portion of the fillet.


How to Bake Tilapia in the Oven
Broiling fish isn't our preferred method because the fish tends to dry out quickly. Instead, prep the tilapia in the same and bake it at 350 degrees for 10 minutes and then turn on your broiler to finish the fish. Broil for about 3 minutes on each side, flipping the fish so that the broiler can brown the flesh evenly.


How to Cook Tilapia Fillets in the Oven
Cook fillets until they are just cooked. The flesh will firm up -- there will be less give when touched -- and will flake easily when pulled with a fork. For a 350 degree F oven, this is roughly 35 minutes for a medium sized fillet not cooked in a sauce. Broiled, a medium sized fillet will be ready in about 25 minutes.


How to Bake Tilapia in the Oven
In order to grill tilapia in the oven, use the same preparation and then place the fish in use an oven-safe or cast-iron grill pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 5 minutes then turn the fillets 20 degrees to the right to get cross-hatch grill marks.


How Long Do You Cook Tilapia?
Grease a baking pan and place the tilapia filets in the pan. Pour the butter mixture over the filets and bake at 350 F for 12 minutes. Season tilapia with salt, pepper and garlic powder, and dredge in flour. Spray a skillet with nonstick cooking spray, heat over medium heat and add tilapia to the pan. Cook for four minutes on each side. Brush tilapia with melted butter and garlic powder. Heat grill to medium, and place tilapia on the grill. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side.


Lemon Garlic Tilapia
Rinse tilapia fillets under cool water, and pat dry with paper towels. Place fillets in baking dish. Pour lemon juice over fillets, then drizzle butter on top. Sprinkle with garlic, parsley, and pepper. Bake in preheated oven until the fish is white and flakes when pulled apart with a fork, about 30 minutes.
