Why Low-Carb Diets Arenât the Answer
So why not just yank them out of your diet like weeds in your garden? Why not quash blood sugar by swearing off bread, pasta, rice, and cereal? Been there, done that. The low-carb craze is on the downswing, and thatâs a good thing because over the long haul, very low carb diets simply arenât good for you, as youâll discover in this chapter. That doesnât mean itâs not smart to cut back on carbsâbut donât go crazy. When low-carb diets first became popular, they seemed to be a breath of fresh air after the low-fat (and high-carb) diets that preceded them.


Are Diets Good or Bad?
The trick is in not seeing the diet as the solution. The diet is a tool, but the ultimate goal isnât to be on a structured eating plan for the rest of your life. The goal is to have the freedom to make food choices solely depending on what you WANT to eat (which by the way is also healthy too) rather than what you think you have to eat.


Are Diets Good or Bad?
Diets are a bridge not a crutch. I struggled with diet and weight loss for a long time and have tried literally every diet plan and pill on the market. Even though I had many frustrating attempts at trying something new, losing some weight, and then gaining it backâ¦I donât regret any of it.


What Is an Otolaryngologist?
The ears. Hearing loss affects one in ten North Americans. The unique domain of otolaryngologists is the treatment of ear disorders. They are trained in both the medical and surgical treatment of hearing loss, ear infections, balance disorders, ear noise (tinnitus), and some cranial nerve disorders. Otolaryngologists also manage congenital (birth) disorders of the outer and inner ear.


Hearing Loss and Older Adults
Having trouble hearing can make it hard to understand and follow a doctor's advice, to respond to warnings, and to hear doorbells and alarms. It can also make it hard to enjoy talking with friends and family. All of this can be frustrating, embarrassing, and even dangerous. Do I have a hearing problem? Ask yourself the following questions. If you answer yes to three or more of these questions, you could have a hearing problem and may need to have your hearing checked by a doctor.


Hearing Loss and Older Adults
Here are some things you can do: 1  Tell your friends and family about your hearing loss. 2  Ask your friends and family to face you when they talk so that you can see their faces. 3  Ask people to speak louder, but not shout. 4  Turn off the TV or the radio if you aren't actively listening to it.

Treating: ear infection; swimmers ear; hearing loss; ear, face, or neck pain; dizziness, ringing in the ears (tinnitus). Pediatric Otolaryngology: diseases in children with special ENT problems including birth defects of the head and neck and developmental delays.


Hearing Loss and Older Adults
Here are the most common ones: 1  Hearing aids are electronic instruments you wear in or behind your ear. They make sounds louder. 2  Cochlear (COKE-lee-ur) implants are small electronic devices surgically implanted in the inner ear that help provide a sense of sound to people who are profoundly deaf or hard-of-hearing.


What Is an Otolaryngologist?
Otology/Neurotology: diseases of the ear, including trauma (injury), infection, benign tumors, and nerve pathway disorders, which affect hearing and balance. Treating: ear infection; swimmer s ear; hearing loss; ear, face, or neck pain; dizziness, ringing in the ears (tinnitus). Pediatric Otolaryngology: diseases in children with special ENT problems including birth defects of the head and neck and developmental delays.


Hearing Loss and Older Adults
Canal aids fit into the ear canal and are available in two styles. The in-the-canal (ITC) hearing aid is made to fit the size and shape of a personâs ear canal. A completely-in-canal (CIC) hearing aid is nearly hidden in the ear canal. Both types are used for mild to moderately severe hearing loss.


Hearing Loss and Older Adults
Hearing problems can be serious. The most important thing you can do if you think you have a hearing problem is to seek professional advice. There are several ways to do this. You can start with your primary care physician, an otolaryngologist, an audiologist, or a hearing aid specialist. Each has a different type of training and expertise.


-
Types of Ear Doctors A doctor who specializes in problems of the ear, nose and throat are normally called an ENT or an Otolaryngologist. If the doctor has additional training in the medical and surgical management of dizziness,hearing loss, and tumors of the ear they may be called an Otologist.


Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)
DNA is made of chemical building blocks called nucleotides. These building blocks are made of three parts: a phosphate group, a sugar group and one of four types of nitrogen bases.


-
Introduction. We know that genes are made of DNA because scientists were able to demonstrate that DNA and. proteins are found in the nucleus of cells, and, more importantly, that DNA (and not protein) is. able to transform the traits of organisms.


Biology for Kids
The DNA Code The DNA code is held by the different letters of the nucleotides. As the cell reads the instructions on the DNA the different letters represent instructions. Every three letters makes up a word called a codon. A string of codons may look like this:

Interesting Facts about DNA. 1  About 99.9 percent of the DNA of every person on the planet is exactly the same. It's that 0.1 percent that is different that makes us all unique. 2  The double helix structure of DNA was discovered by Dr. James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953.


Can DNA Prove the Existence of an Intelligent Designer?
DNA and Genes. 1  About 99.9 percent of the DNA of every person on the planet is exactly the same. It's that 0.1 percent that is different that makes us all unique. 2  The double helix structure of DNA was discovered by Dr. James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953. If you unraveled all the DNA molecules in your body and placed them end to end, it would stretch to the Sun and back several times.


Biology for Kids
This allows for billions and billions of different combinations. Within each string of DNA are sets of instructions called genes. A gene tells a cell how to make a specific protein. Proteins are used by the cell to perform certain functions, to grow, and to survive.


-
However, knowing that genes are made of DNA and that DNA is able to store the genetic infor-. mation of an individual is a little like having a parts list to a 747 jumbo jet. It tells what is important, but it tells you little about how it works. To figure out how DNA worksâthat is, how it is able to.


What is DNA?
What you will need: 1  Two long bendy sweets such as strawberry pencils or. 2  About 20 smaller brightly coloured, soft sweets such as jelly babies, wine gums or assorted liquorice. (you need at least 4 different colour sweets.) 3  Cocktail sticks.


GCSE (9-1
Key Stage 3: Biology (genetics and evolution) 1  heredity as the process by which genetic information is transmitted from one generation to the next. 2  a simple model of chromosomes, genes and DNA in heredity.


Biology for Kids
DNA is an essential molecule for life. It acts like a recipe holding the instructions telling our bodies how to develop and function. What does DNA stand for? DNA is short for deoxyribonucleic acid. What is DNA made of? DNA is a long thin molecule made up of something called nucleotides. There are four different types of nucleotides: adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine. They are usually represented by their first letter: A- adenine; T- thymine; C - cytosine; G - guanine; Holding the nucleotides together is a backbone made of phosphate and deoxyribose.

PRESERVATION AND STORAGE. Liquid N2 is used to preserve tissue culture cells, either in the liquid phase (-196Â°C) or in the vapor phase (-156Â°C). Freezing can be lethal to cells due to the effects of damage by ice crystals, alterations in the concentration of electrolytes, dehydration, and changes in pH.

Apple's Stock IPO and Fun Facts. Apple, Inc.'s initial public offering (IPO) was on December 12, 1980 at $22.00 per share. Since that time Apple's stock has split two for 1 on three separate occasions: 1987, 2000, and 2005. Then in 2014, Apple issued a 7 for 1 stock split. Basically what that means is that you would have 56 shares today for every share purchased at the end of 1980. So let's say you invested $5,000 dollars in Apple's IPO. Assuming you could buy fractional shares you would have purchased 227.27 shares of stock at the IPO price of $22.00.

Railroad History, An Overview Of The Past
Railroad History, An Overview Of The Past. Railroad history in the United States is nearly as old as the country itself, dating back to the mid-1820s. As we know, this great nation would not have grown and prospered as it did without the railroads, which brought together the young country and allowed for unprecedented prosperity.


-
The first railroad in America, known as the Granite Railway, like the majority of early enterprises, was destined to meet considerable opposition, involving, as it did, the right of eminent domain for what was considered then nothing but a dream and for years later little more than an experiment.


Railroad History, An Overview Of The Past
Railroads in America can be traced back to 1815 when Colonel John Stevens gained the first charter in North America to build the New Jersey Railroad Company, although it was not constructed until 1832. The NJRR later went on to become part of the Pennsylvania Railroad's far-reaching network.


Slavery comes to North America , 1619
In the early 17th century, European settlers in North America turned to African slaves as a cheaper, more plentiful labor source than indentured servants (who were mostly poorer Europeans). After 1619, when a Dutch ship brought 20 Africans ashore at the British colony of Jamestown, Virginia, slavery spread throughout the American colonies.


RAILROADS
Beginning in the 1850s, speculators bought land in the hopes that a railroad would come through an area and they could then resell the land at a much higher price. Also in the 1850s, the United States government realized the value of the railroads and the land associated with them.


RAILROADS
Early railways were a far cry from the great system of railroads that were built in the nineteenth century and that continue to be used today. The earliest railways in the United States were short, wooden railways built by quarries and mines along which horses pulled loads to nearby water ways.


-
The first railroad in the United States came into being through the erection of the Bunker Hill Monument. William Ticknor, a well-known lawyer and antiquarian of the day, was the first to suggest the erection of a memo- rial on the scene of the battle. He desired the noblest column in the world to mark the spot.


RAILROADS
Beginning in the nineteenth century in the United States, a vast system of railroads was developed that moved goods and people across great distances, facilitated the settlement of large portions of the country, created towns and cities, and unified a nation.


MCT Oil vs. Coconut Oil
Coconut oil, on the other hand, is a rich source of all four types of MCTs, especially Lauric acid (C12). In fact, coconut oil is somewhere around 50% lauric acid, making it the richest natural source of lauric acid.


-
There are some key differences between MCT oil and coconut oil. 1  MCT comes from natural sources, like coconut oil.  MCT oils, while being derived from natural sources, have to undergo a manufacturing process to isolate medium chain fatty acids from other oils.


MCT Oil vs. Coconut Oil
1 MCT comes from natural sources, like coconut oil. After all, coconut oil contains all four MCTs, as well as a number of longer-chain fatty acids.  MCT oils, while being derived from natural sources, have to undergo a manufacturing process to isolate medium chain fatty acids from other oils.


The Benefits of MCT Oil vs Coconut Oil
Medium-chain triglycerides are a kind of fat particle found in coconut oil and palm oil. Studies reveal that MCT Oil benefits can protect our bodies from viral infections, which means no more colds! Here in the United States, winter is often a time when flu, colds and other viruses strike.


The Benefits of MCT Oil vs Coconut Oil
Additionally, studies show that the medium-chain fatty acids found in lauric and capric acid help fight: MCT Oil vs Coconut Oil. Long story short, we are not what we eat; we are what we digest, absorb and assimilate. If our body isnât able to break down and use fat, for example, it can lead to fat malabsorption.


The Benefits of MCT Oil vs Coconut Oil
Whatâs more interesting in the research, though, is that coconut oil only acts as a strong antimicrobial against C. difficile when it is completely digested. In other words, coconut oil alone actually accomplishes little to counter infection â it is the MCTs that do the real work.


MCT Oil vs. Coconut Oil
MCT Oil vs. Coconut Oil. Okay, letâs get down to the nitty-gritty. There are some key differences between MCT oil and coconut oil. MCT comes from natural sources, like coconut oil. After all, coconut oil contains all four MCTs, as well as a number of longer-chain fatty acids.


The Benefits of MCT Oil vs Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is not 100% pure MCTs, which means it is not 100% absorbable â those fats need to be digested before we get to those fatty acids. Coconut oil is roughly 60% MCTs. The tricky thing is that not everyone can efficiently break down fat, even coconut oil, as easy as it is to digest in comparison to other fats.


6 Health Benefits of MCT Oil â Is It Better than Coconut Oil?
Donât forget that just like with coconut oil being used for your hair, MCT oil is great for your skin and hair. MCT oil can be used in homemade teeth whitening treatments, moisturizer, lip balm, sunscreen, shaving cream, conditioner, facial masks, salt scrubs and essential oil blends.

Big Island Travel Guide
It is an island of such proportions that all of the other islands in the main Hawaiian chain could fit inside it twice. Often called the 'Big Island' to help distinguish it from the 1,500 mile long archipelago with which it shares its name, Hawai'i, the Big Island has certainly earned its nickname.


What is the size of Hawaii?
Hawaii (also known as the Big Island) measures 4028 sq mi (10,432 sq km). It has an elevation of 13,796 ft (equal to 4,025 m). Next is Maui, which measures 727.2 sq mi (1,883 sq km). The elevation is 10,023 ft (or 3,055 m).


Big Island Travel Guide
Home to two of the world's greatest mountains, the world's most active volcano, 11 of the world's 13 climate zones, Hawai'i's greatest king, and the wettest city in the United States, the Big Island of Hawai'i is an island like no other.


Hawaii Fact 7 of 50: Is Hawaii the smallest state?
Iâm not sure how I once had the impression that Hawaii is the smallest state, but Iâve recently learned that Connecticut, Delaware and Rhode Island are smaller. With all the eight major islands of Hawaii combined, the Aloha state has 6,422 square miles of land area.


Hawaii Fact 7 of 50: Is Hawaii the smallest state?
The states of New Jersey, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maryland and Vermont are all larger than Hawaii, but closer in size compared to the other states. Now letâs look at the three states that are smaller than Hawaii and see how many of them equate to the size of Hawaii. 1  6 Rhode Islands is approximately equal to one Hawaii. 2  3 Delawares is approximately equal to one Hawaii. 3  1.3 Connecticuts is approximately equal to one Hawaii.


Hawaii's Eight Main Islands
3. Oahu is the third largest island of Hawaii and with a total area of 597 square miles (1,545 sq km). It is called the Gathering Place because it is the largest of the islands by population and it is the center of Hawaii's government and economy. Oahu's population 953,307 people (2010 estimate).


Big Island Overview
Sitting in the middle of the Pacific Ocean the landmass of the Big Island is approximately the same size as the state of Connecticut, about 4,050 sq. miles and still growing daily thanks to Kilauea Volcano on the eastern coast of the island.


Polenta with Fontina and Roasted Vegetables
Bake a pan of polenta until it gets crispy at the edges, and then top it with anything your heart desires. Here, roasted summer vegetables pair with fontina, a mild melting cheese. But this is a fantastic recipe all year long: try it in the fall or winter with butternut squash, mushrooms and Gorgonzola; serve with a salad of field greens.


Fontina Val d'Aosta
Italian Fontina has a natural rind that turns tan to orange-brown with aging. Fontina Val d'Aosta is traditionally made from unpasteurised milk of the Valdaostan Red Spotted cows grazing on the plains of Aosta Valley. The texture and flavour of Fontina depends on how long it has been aged.


Fontina
Fontina is a swedish style cheese made by Emmi Roth USA. Fontina is a hard cheese which has a creamy texture and a subtle tart flavour characterized by a mild yeasty finish. It melts beautifully which makes it ideal for Pizzas, flatbreads, lasagnas, quesadillas. It serves best in combination with Chardonnay, Riesling, Wheat Beer. 1  Made from pasteurized cow 's milk.


Polenta with Fontina and Roasted Vegetables
Add the butter, Parmesan and fontina and stir until the cheeses melt. Pour the polenta into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake just until the polenta begins to set, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and top evenly with the roasted vegetables.


What can I substitute for fontina cheese?
Show Image. Mild provolone, gruyere, and gouda cheeses may all be substituted for fontina, depending on your personal preference and the other ingredients in your dish. Why such a wide range of choices? Because fontina cheese is similarly available in a wide range of flavors and textures. The fontina most commonly found in US markets is Danish fontina, which tends to be mild flavored and somewhat softer than Italian fontina. Grilled Chicken and Roasted Red Pepper Sandwiches with Fontina Cheese (pictured) is a popular recipe on our site, and it would be great with provolone, gruyere, or gouda.


Gnocchi in Fontina Sauce
Ready In. 1  Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. 2  Once the gnocchi goes into the pot, start the sauce, as you want the gnocchi to be done first. 3  Place gnocchi into serving dishes, and spoon the sauce over them.


Fontina cheese
A semifirm creamy cow's milk cheese. Fontina has a dark golden brown rind with a pale yellow interior dotted with tiny holes. A mild, nutty flavor with a hint of mild honey. Made in countries other than Italy, but those fontinas tend to be blander and softer than the Italian original.


-
I replaced the fontina with 1 cup of gouda and the parmesan with 1/2 cup of pizza blend (mozzarella, provolone, parmesan and romano). Such a wonderful cheesy, buttery taste from the polenta and the vegetables were a packaged frozen blend. I roasted the veggies in the toaster oven while the polenta baked the oven.


Gnocchi in Fontina Sauce
1 Stir in the cream, and heat to almost a boil. 2  Gradually mix in the fontina and parmesan cheeses, being careful not to boil. 3  Stir until smooth, then remove from the heat immediately, or the sauce may clump. 4  Place gnocchi into serving dishes, and spoon the sauce over them. 5  Garnish with chopped fresh basil.


Fontina Val d'Aosta
Usually, fontina is aged for 90 days. The interior of fontina is pale cream in colour and riddled with holes known as eyes. With a fat content of 45%, the cheese is very rich and creamy which gets nuttier with aging. This versatile cheese can be used to make fondues, and similar Italian dishes. Nebbiolo, a red wine with wild cherry and truffles is a match for Fontina.

Best Marijuana Lights for Growing Weed Indoors
For a successful cannabis growing and to obtain bigger yield, provide the plants with what are necessary-light, water, fertilizer, good ventilation and right temperature. When growing outside, the sun is the natural and main source of light. When growing cannabis plants indoors, artificial source of light is necessary.The quality and the amount of buds that marijuana plants produce will also depend on the amount of light received. Weed plants receiving the right spectrum of light during the vegetative and flowering period will give an excellent yield.hen growing outside, the sun is the natural and main source of light. When growing cannabis plants indoors, artificial source of light is necessary. The quality and the amount of buds that marijuana plants produce will also depend on the amount of light received.


Best Grow Lights For Indoor Marijuana Growing
Regardless of whether you choose to grow your cannabis indoors or out, you are going to need a good source of light. More light means more weed. In nature, plants use the sun. Light is the force which makes photosynthesis possible, converting that energy into usable glucose and oxygen.n the early days of Cannabis cultivation, fluorescent grow lights were used by growers to simulate the sun, just as they had been used for many years by farmers and botanists for indoor growing and early germination in cold climates.

The growing cycle is also controlled by light. This is one of the main advantages of growing marijuana indoors. Initially in the grow period (vegetative), lights are kept on for approximately 18 hours a day. When you want the plants to begin flowering the light is restricted to 12 hours light (and 12 hours dark).arijuana Lighting. All plants need light and there is no sun indoors. The light provided by the sun needs to be replaced with an artificial light source. Incandescent lights, like regular light bulbs, simply won't cut the mustard, they put out light in the wrong spectrum and are too costly to run.


Best Lights for Growing Marijuana Indoors
HID or High Intensity Discharge lamps are the most common type of marijuana grow lights used for indoor growing and are arguably the most efficient way of producing good yields indoors. The HID family includes, Metal Halide (MH) and High Pressure Sodium (HPS).f youâre using CFLâs as your weed grow lights, you are better using more, lower wattage bulbs to spread the light around the plant. You will need to keep CFLs close to your plant as they a have poor light brilliance. Increase your light coverage and penetration by hanging lights around the side of the plant.


Growing marijuana indoors
Growing marijuana indoors is the most common and popular way to cultivate marijuana. The main advantage of growing weed indoors is that you are 100% in control of what you are growing and this tends to result in a better quality end product.ighting â CFLs vs LED vs HIDs. Marijuana needs light to grow. For outdoor growers, this is supplied by the sun. However, the indoor grower needs to supply a healthy amount of light to get their plants to grow.

Rydberg formula
Rydberg was trying: when he became aware of Balmer's formula for the hydrogen spectrum In this equation, m is an integer and h is a constant (not to be confused with the later Planck's constant, a completely different number now usually given the symbol Ä§, which refers to Planck's Constant divided by 2Ï).n 1880, Rydberg worked on a formula describing the relation between the wavelengths in spectral lines of alkali metals.


Rydberg formula
Rydberg therefore rewrote Balmer's formula in terms of wavenumbers, as. This suggested that the Balmer formula for hydrogen might be a special case with and, where, the reciprocal of Balmer's constant (this constant h is written B in the Balmer equation article, again to avoid confusion with Planck's constant).n 1880, Rydberg worked on a formula describing the relation between the wavelengths in spectral lines of alkali metals.


What Is The Rydberg Formula?
The Rydberg formula is a mathematical formula used to predict the wavelength of light resulting from an electron moving between energy levels of an atom. Answer: When an electron changes from one atomic orbital to another, the electron's energy changes.hen the electron moves from low energy to a higher energy state, a photon of light is absorbed by the atom. Each element has a distinct spectral fingerprint.
