Is Burning Incense Bad for Your Health?
Incense generally gets its fragrance from aromatic plants and essential oils that arenât in themselves dangerous. That changes when burning is involved. Some incense sticks, like joss sticks, are made from a fragrant material. Other sticks consist of a slender piece of bamboo or wood that has fragrance added. Mosquito coils, available in supermarkets and hardware stores, are forms of incense with an insecticide added.


The Smell That's Surprisingly Dangerous
The Smell That's Surprisingly Dangerous. The smell of burning incense should bring about insta-Zen. The reality: Incense smoke releases potentially harmful concentrations of carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and formaldehyde, finds new research from the University of North Carolina.


The Smell That's Surprisingly Dangerous
If you're going to keep burning, reduce your exposure by ventilating the room with each use. Also, stick with an electric device to heat incenseâmany kinds are burned using charcoal, which releases more carbon monoxide and nitrogen, Dr. Yeatts says.

Platelet donations are perfectly safe
For platelet donors, just the platelets are removed, and the rest of the blood components are returned to the donor. In order to keep the blood from clotting inside the machine, sodium citrate is added to the apheresis machine.


Platelet donations are perfectly safe
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am writing about platelet donations. As a way of giving back, I donate platelets. I was wondering if there is a time that a person should stop donating, based on age or difficulty. I am 61 years old, and the past three times Iâve donated, I felt uncomfortable in some way.


Platelet donations are perfectly safe
â S.B. ANSWER: Platelet donation generally is a very well-tolerated procedure. The platelets are removed from the donorâs blood via a process called apheresis; a centrifuge separates the blood into four components: plasma (containing proteins), platelets, white blood cells and red blood cells.


Donating platelets
Absolutely! Like all blood donations, all the collection supplies are sterile and single-use and are discarded after each donation. Only a small percentage of your platelets are collected, so there are no risks of bleeding problems. Your body will replace the donated platelets within 48 hours. Platelet collections also use a smaller needle than traditional blood donations.


-
Donating Platelets. Platelets are blood cells that help control bleeding. When a blood vessel is damaged, platelets collect at the site of injury and temporarily repair the tear. You can think of platelets like bricks that gather together at a blood vessel tear. After the platelets are activated, plasma then helps the blood clot by holding the platelets together. You can think of plasma as the cement that stabilizes the platelet bricks. Once a clot is formed, the wound can heal.


Platelet Donations
2. Some cancer treatments cause a loss of platelets. These specialized blood cells help control blood clotting. When platelet levels fall too low, patients may need a transfusion of platelets to replenish their supply and prevent life-threatening hemorrhages. Some patients, especially those who have had a bone marrow transplant or who are being treated for leukemia, may require daily platelet transfusions for several weeks.


Safety Questions
Yes. Donating blood is safe. The supplies used to collect your blood are sterile and only used once. You cannot get HIV or any other infectious disease from donating blood.


About the Breed
About the Breed. If you have read the few articles about watusi cattle, you soon notice a trend-they are all copied from the same source. Phrases like cattle of kings, domesticated x-thousand years ago, and radiator horns are propagated in all these articles. Those are interesting tidbits.


Highland
Today both of these strains are regarded as one breed-the Highland. In addition to the red and black of the original strains, yellow, dun and silver-white are also considered traditional colors. The Highland is the oldest registered breed of cattle, with the first herd book being established in 1884.


Highland
It has been said that the Highland will eat what other cattle pass by. . . and get fat on it! The Highland is also an excellent browser, able to clear a brush lot with speed and efficiency. The Highland is a disease resistant breed.


About the Breed
1 People are surprised to learn that the watusi cattleâs horns are warm to the touch, even in winter. 2  They have a large amount of blood flow in their horns. 3  And with all that blood flowing through the horns, the horns stay almost body temperature. 4  Their horns never truly stop growing.


Highland
Breeds of Livestock-Highland Cattle. The Highland breed has lived for centuries in the rugged remote Scottish Highlands. The extremely harsh conditions created a process of natural selection, where only the fittest and most adaptable animals survived to carry on the breed.

Nullification (U.S. Constitution)
While nullification is an attempt to declare federal law unconstitutional and to forbid its enforcement within the state, some other actions by the states do not attempt to declare federal law invalid, but instead use other means in an effort to prevent or hinder enforcement of federal law.


Primary Documents in American History
On December 10, 1832, President Andrew Jackson issued a proclamation to the people of South Carolina that disputed a states' right to nullify a federal law.


-
Image courtesy of the Library of Congress John C. Calhoun of South Carolina served as Representative, Senator, and Vice President. Calhoun resigned his position as Vice President to return to the Senate in 1832.


Nullification (U.S. Constitution)
The Supreme Court first dealt with nullification in 1809 in the case of United States v. Peters, 9 U.S. (5 Cranch) 115 (1809). The Court rejected the idea of nullification. The Pennsylvania legislature had passed an act purporting to nullify a federal court's decision.


Nullification (U.S. Constitution)
The theory of nullification is that the states have the unilateral power to determine the constitutionality of federal laws, and that a state's determination of unconstitutionality cannot be reviewed or reversed by the courts.


Nullification (U.S. Constitution)
Thomas Jefferson and James Madison set forth the theories of nullification and interposition in the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions in 1798. Courts at the state and federal level, including the U.S. Supreme Court, repeatedly have rejected the theory of nullification.


The Tariff of Abominations: The Effects
Calhoun later took credit for the doctrine in 1832 to the detriment of his presidential ambitions. Following their statesmanâs lead, the South Carolina legislature used Calhoun's reasoning to nullify the Tariff of 1832, which had earlier replaced the Tariff of Abominations. While other southern states disagreed with the tariff, South Carolina was the only state to invoke nullification.

In the spring of 1882, the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed by Congress and signed by President Chester A. Arthur. This act provided an absolute 10-year moratorium on Chinese labor immigration. For the first time, Federal law proscribed entry of an ethnic working group on the premise that it endangered the good order of certain localities.

The elasticity of oil production and consumption
If demand is elastic, it simply means that consumers will buy more of a product when the price comes down. They will buy less when the price goes up. Yes. There are other reasons why consumers increase or decrease consumption, but price is a fundamental driver of demand.

As expected, U.S. price elasticities of natural gas supply are higher in both the short and long-run when the effects of shale are included in the sample (post-2007). The calculated price elasticities of natural gas demand are also more responsive than recent estimates, but in-line with earlier ones.


-
Research by Dr. Gerard Tellis at the University of Southern California suggests that, for many branded products, the price elasticity is approximately -2.0. This means that when prices increase by one percent, the quantity demanded for the respective branded product will tend to decline by twice as muchâtwo percent.


The elasticity of oil production and consumption
Although written for the American audience, it applies to any nation that must import a substantial portion of its oil or natural gas. Elasticity. A quick lesson in economics. Elasticity. The production, or consumption, of a specific product is often referred to as being elastic â or â inelastic. If production is elastic, we assume that if the price of a product goes up, or if a shortage of the product develops, then competitors are able to add new capacity to increase the availability of that product.


-
The elasticity is, however, much lower for the product category, as opposed to the branded product. For example, the price elasticity is much greater (more negative) for Snickers than for candy bars in general. Since there are few immediately available direct substitutes for gasoline, the elasticity tends to be low. Because it is difficult to reduce spending on gasoline, the effects of price increases are often shifted to other economic sectors.

Estimates of the Price Elasticities of Natural Gas Supply and Demand in the United States
I estimate short and long-run price elasticities of U.S. natural gas supply and demand. For robustness, the estimates are based on data of varying frequencies and samples, some of which include the recent U.S. shale gas boom. Aside from the numbers themselves, there are two main conclusions.

The idea of this declining consumption can be explained in terms of the traditional concepts of âsupplyâ and âdemand.â. Short term for gasoline, however, appears to be relatively âinelasticââthat is, when prices change, there is relatively little change in the quantity demanded. This is why, when the world supply of petroleum changes, very a very large change in price is usually needed to bring supply and demand into balance.

How Long Do Sperm Live?
Fever can lead to morphologic changes in sperm which decrease production and longevity. These effects can last for several weeks after the fever and may be dependent on how long the fever existed. Sperm do not live long without moisture. Sperm account for between two and five percent of the composition of semen. The semen provides a moist, nutrient rich environment for sperm according to News Medical. Once outside the body, the sperm will only live until the semen dries. Web MD states that semen can live longer inside water such as a bathtub or pool than on a dry surface, but the likelihood of the sperm finding its way into a woman's body from a pool of water is slim.


How Long Do Sperm Live?
Sperm can live inside a woman's cervix or upper genital tract for up to seven days after ejaculation according to the American Pregnancy Association. As long as the sperm remains alive there is a chance for pregnancy.


How Long Do Sperm Live?
Under ideal circumstances, if healthy sperm get beyond the cervix into the uterus and up to the fallopian tubes, they can live as long as 5-7 days after ejaculation. On average, though, sperm live about 3-4 days once theyâve made it all the way to the fallopian tubes, where fertilization takes place. (A womanâs egg, on the other hand, is viable for only about one day once it leaves the ovary.) Sperm can live outside of the body for only about 20 minutes to an hour, depending on how exposed the semen is to the air and other environmental factors. To avoid the slightest risk of pregnancy, a woman should make sure that ejaculated semen doesnât get at all close to her vagina.
